The Alchemist God

On June 12th, Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi finished sorting out the affairs of the demon spirit clan and returned to Hongyan City.

...

Before they entered the city, they could already see the resounding sound of training at the Longdan Camp in the north of the city. After a few months of rest, the Longdan Camp's edge was recast, and now everyone only thought about revenge and attack.

Wei Chou led the cavalry to welcome them out of the city: Shuai Lin, you are finally back, and the lunch prepared for you and Princess Xi is ready.

Lin Muyu looked at the sun and said: It's already afternoon, send lunch to the meeting hall, order all senior officers to enter the meeting hall, and prepare the map.

yes!

After entering the commander's mansion, Qin Yin, Chu Yao, and Si Kongyao also came, and welcomed Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi into the meeting hall. Not long after, Situ Sen, Feng Xi, Feng Zhanlin and others all came.

Lin Muyu was holding the bowl, a large bowl of rice was covered with sliced ​​meat and green peppers, and in front of everyone, he planed a few mouthfuls. After finishing the meal as quickly as possible, he put down the bowl and said, The meeting begins!

Everyone stood up, gave a military salute, and then sat down again.

The big map was laid on the carpet in the center of the conference hall. Lin Muyu stepped on the map and walked to the location of Hongyan Province, saying: Chen Yu has personally led the 200,000 Heavenly Soldiers into Huoyuan Province, and they should arrive in the afternoon Huoyuan City is here, so the pressure on Fengjixing and Qianfeng will suddenly increase, and we are two thousand miles away from Huoyuan Province, so we can't reinforce it, but we can't stand on the sidelines either.

Situ Sen whispered: My lord, give the order, I will be ready to attack at any time!

Don't worry, you have to step by step.

Lin Muyu took a few steps forward, stepped out of the border of Hongyan Province, stepped on the territory of the Tianjue Empire, and said: Wei Qiu, how many people from the Tianjue Empire are there outside the Huolang Pass? Defenders?

Wei Chou said respectfully: To Commander Lin, outside the Huolang Pass is the territory of the Tianjue Empire. The city directly facing each other is called Jicheng. This city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Their deputy commander Song Liangcheng personally Leading the 180,000 Southern Patrol Corps to guard, half of the Southern Patrol Corps was Song Liangcheng's original headquarters, and the rest were drawn from the garrison troops of the four southern provinces of the Tianjue Empire. They are all new recruits, nothing to be afraid of.”

Song Liangcheng's legion?

A trace of killing intent flashed across Lin Muyu's face, but he quickly regained his composure, and said, Four months ago, Song Liang's troops who ambushed us outside Hongyan City were all incorporated into the Southern Patrol Corps, right?

Yes Marshal, all are here.

Wei Chou frowned and said: But we still can't underestimate Song Liangcheng's 180,000 troops, because their geographical advantages are too great. If we leave the Huolang Pass, we have to cross a road to reach Jicheng. The Qinglan River, the Qinglan River is very fast, and the narrowest part is at least 50 meters wide, and the bridge leading to Jicheng was demolished by Song Liangcheng a month ago.

Lin Muyu looked at the map and said: It doesn't matter, there are many jungles along the way, order the soldiers to cut down trees along the way, and build a pontoon bridge directly when they reach the Qinglan River.

Well, although this problem has been solved, the city of Jicheng is very strong, with mountains on both sides that cannot be turned around. Song Liangcheng's 180,000 troops defend the city, and our magic crystal cannons are extremely short, making it difficult to break through.

Wei Chou pointed to the map and said: The most important thing is that Luohan City is less than 800 miles away from Jicheng. Zhou Binlong led the 200,000 terrestrial soldiers in Luohan City. Once we attack Jicheng, Zhou Binlong Our cavalry will be reinforced within three days.

Lin Muyu took a deep breath and asked, How many people do we have in Hongyan Province?

Situ Sen clasped his fists and said, I would like to report to Marshal Lin, apart from the disabled soldiers, the Long Dan Battalion has 150,000 elite troops, and the Bai Ze mercenaries have 110,000 troops available. , there are still about 70,000 people, oh, and three days ago, the 30,000 armored demon troops sent by Marshal Qianfeng from the Xishan Province have also arrived, waiting for the marshal to dispatch at any time!

oh?

Lin Muyu smiled slightly: Since when did that fellow Qianfeng be so generous that he dispatched 30,000 armored demons for me? It's really strange.

Situ Sen lowered his voice: Actually, that guy Qianfeng couldn't afford to support him, so he threw the 30,000 armored demons directly to us to eat our food. In less than three days, the 30,000 armored demons ate up one of us. Cattle and sheep in the pasture!

Tang Xiaoxi, Qin Yin and other girls all burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere eased a little.

Lin Muyu groaned, and said: Originally, the soldiers and horses of our headquarters had an 80% chance of winning, but now that Qianfeng gives me another 30,000 armored demons, our chance of winning is 100%. Send the order to dispatch the mercenaries from the Long Dan Camp and Bai Ze All the troops, plus 30,000 armored demons, Wei Qiu as the vanguard, Situ Sen as the left army, Situ Xue as the right army, and Sikong Yao's troops in the rear, I will personally lead the central army, and tomorrow we will march eastward, exit Huolangguan, and attack Jicheng! Appoint Liu Buyi as the logistics officer, and we must meet the needs of military rations along the way.

yes!

Everyone saluted together, united as one.

...

Three days later, a total of 290,000 troops left Huolang Pass, wiped out the three camps of the Tianjue Empire like the autumn wind blowing leaves along the way, and directly entered the Qinglan River.

The weather was much warmer at this time, and amidst the rippling spring breeze, Qinglan River had been blocked across the board. Song Liangcheng actually took the initiative to attack and set up defenses on the opposite bank of Qinglan River. There were many heavy shields and archers everywhere, and the battle was imminent.

Lin Muyu ordered to set up camp five miles away from the Qinglan River and dig the ground to fetch water.

Most of the water in the Qinglan River was undrinkable. Countless fish had died on the first day. Song Liangcheng was indeed vicious, and had already poisoned the river water.

In the camp on the east coast, Song Liangcheng, the deputy commander of the Tianjue Empire, was wearing a general robe with four gold stars. He was fidgeting in front of the sand table, his eyes flickering. He knew that Lin Muyu seemed to be advancing slowly this time, but in fact he could Feeling Lin Muyu's repressed murderous aura, this army came with the flames of revenge. Lin Muyu will never forget the hatred for shooting Xu Jiantao on Bugu Mountain, and the Great Qin Empire will never forget it.

Deputy commander?

A staff officer said respectfully: We have poured the poison into the upper reaches of the Qinglan River late last night, which can force the enemy to drink without water. The 50,000 army has almost guarded the Qinglan River's slow river area to death. , the Qinglan River is an inland river, and Lin Muyu's warships can't get here, so they have nothing to do.

Really? Song Liangcheng glanced at him indifferently, and said, Your Majesty has a message for me before leaving!

Yes, His Majesty left a bag for the general.

Oh? Take it here.

yes!

After receiving the kit from the staff officer, Song Liangcheng glanced at a page of paper inside. It was indeed Chen Yu's handwriting, a short line of words: Defend Jicheng, don't attack, and wait for help!

What does this mean, Your Majesty? Song Liangcheng asked.

Your Majesty's ingenious calculation must have deep meaning. The staff officer nodded his head and pondered, and said, His Majesty led his personal guards to the eastern fertile area half a month ago. Does the deputy commander know what ethnic group is there?

Isn't there... a barren place?

No, there is a group of aliens living there, a group of aliens who are good at night battles.

You mean... the Rat Man? Song Liangcheng narrowed his eyes, and said, Could it be that His Majesty has reached an agreement with the Rat Man? Are you going to use the Rat Man to resist Lin Muyu's gentian camp?

Yes, at least I think so. Otherwise, with His Majesty's shrewdness, how could he leave the southern border unguarded and attack Huoyuanxing Province?

The Ratmen are despicable and shameless. Has Your Majesty forgotten that these Ratmen are cannibals!

Yes, a few days ago there was news of rat-men eating people from the eastern states and counties, but the news was suppressed by the government. I presumptuously speculate that this may be His Majesty's intention?

Presumptuous! Song Liangcheng's eyes were cold: Is His Majesty the kind of person you said? He will never...never trade the flesh and blood of the people for the Ratmen's reinforcements.

The staff officer smiled and didn't care about these things anymore, but said: Your Majesty ordered to defend Jicheng to the death, and the deputy commander wants to fight the Qin thieves at the Qinglan River?

The Qinglan River is also within the scope of Jicheng, and it can be delayed for a moment.

Song Liangcheng said lightly: I'm just a little worried...

What are you worried about? The Qin thief's two Mahayana gods of heaven?

That's right. Song Liangcheng said in a deep voice, pass on the order to increase the number of guards from 2,000 to 8,000.

yes!

...

In the forest to the west of the Qinglan River, the king's flag is unfurled, and cavalry are constantly coming and going.

In the handsome tent, a small scout bee stayed on the teacup.

Ratman...

Lin Muyu frowned and pondered for a long time, then asked, Lulu, do you think the Ratman's abnormal behavior is man-made?

Yes brother. In the laser imaging, Lulu's delicate body fluttered and said, Each group has its own survival criteria. Rat people have always been creatures that hide at night. They are good at digging burrows. Rabbits, fast wolves, cattle and sheep, etc. are food, but over the years, the population of ratmen has grown larger and larger, and the number of reproductions has also increased, which has exceeded the needs of their own biological chain. The food for ratmen is not enough. They chose to eat people, and they began to march westward, with a number of more than 100,000, I guess, maybe they were bewitched, and their target was directed at my brother's army.

Do the Ratmen dig deep?

Brother, don't worry, their cave is not deep enough to bypass the Qinglan River, but once you cross the river, you will enter the range of the Ratman's attack.

No wonder Song Liangcheng dares to be so confident.

Lin Muyu cupped his arms and said, What are the Ratmen afraid of?

The blood and body fluids of the Ratmen contain flammable ingredients. As long as my brother uses fire to attack, he can easily defeat the Ratmen. However... Brother must also beware of the attacks launched by the Ratman from the ground. Their teeth are very sharp. It can bite through iron armor, and once it bites, it won't let go, and it must pull off a large piece of flesh.

Understood, thank you, Lulu, let me know if there is any new progress.

Um.

Lulu's body slowly disappeared.

Lin Muyu looked outside the big tent and said, Come here, let Wei Qiu, Si Kongyao, Situ Sen and Feng Xi come over!
