The Alchemist God

On May 15th, after six days of deep and roundabout battles, 50,000 cavalry under Feng Jixing's troops arrived at the Yunzhong Sluice in a mighty manner. A fortress that has been standing for decades above the sluice is the Yunzhong Pass. , and the purpose of Feng Jixing's trip is Yunzhong Pass. Only by guarding Yunzhong Pass can the iron hooves of Long Ji Corps continue to invade the south. Feng Jixing has no choice.

Looking up at this majestic fortress, Luo Yu couldn't help frowning and said, I don't know how long we want Pan to stay here.

Until we have accumulated enough strength to be able to regain the lost ground by the Northern Expedition. Feng Jixing said with deep eyes, Enter the pass, pass down the order, take over the entire Yunzhong Pass, and send feather letters to all states and counties in the Yunzhong Province, Those who have not yet surrendered, those who have already surrendered, but those who come to Yunzhong Pass for refuge will be taken in, we must not let the hearts of the people of the empire be chilled.

Yes, Your Highness.

The Yunzhong Sluice is adjacent to the transportation lifeline of the Yunzhong Ancient Road. A large number of iron hooves entered the fortress from the Yunzhong Ancient Road. The guard on the city is Lin Muyu's old department. The Venus instructor who used to be the temple has now become a guard. See When Feng Jixing arrived, he handed over the city to him without hesitation. For the soldiers of the empire, Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing were the two gods of war, the supreme beings.

Stepping on the city wall, overlooking the north, Feng Jixing continued to issue defense orders regardless of his tiredness, and recruited civilians to repair the city wall. After all, there had been no wars between Yunzhong Province and Lanyan City for many years, and Yunzhongguan was continuous. Many lengths of the Shilidi city wall have been in disrepair for a long time, and if it is not repaired, it will be vulnerable.

Holding on to the cold stone wall, Feng Jixing watched the endless water of the Daojiang River flowing from the north. The river was turbulent, and in the heart of the river, huge heads continuously emerged. They were frost-armored horned dragons. Clusters grow in the Daojiang River's Yunzhong Province. People have been reluctant to approach the Daojiang River for decades, and these frost-armored horned dragons huddled together and screamed under the sluice. It was this huge sluice that prevented them from going down the river to the south. , if they all go, the fishermen in the south and farmers on both sides of the strait may suffer.

Your Highness, what orders do you have? Luo Yu asked in a low voice.

there is none left.

Feng Jixing was a little helpless, he looked at the rushing Daojiang River with his brows tightly furrowed, and after a few seconds he said: Luo Yu, what is the defense strength of Qihai Province? After that, the next step may be Seven Seas City, if the two major cities in the north fall one after another, we will be the sinners of the empire and an eternal shame.

Your Highness, don't worry, the Seven Seas Province is temporarily guarded by General Chen Xiaoli. He has begun to gather troops from various states and counties in the province a few days ago. There are continuous mountains between Yunzhong Province and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with General Chen Xiaoli's ability, I believe there will be no problem.

Um.

Feng Jixing muttered silently: It's been a long time since I saw Chen Xiaoli, and I don't know how he is now... By the way, I sent war eagle scouts to find the killed Iron Blade Army, and brought them back to Yunzhongguan , as much as you can come back, and in addition, send messengers to the major states and counties in Tianshu province, and order all the government troops to dispatch more than 70% to Yunzhongguan to wait for my dispatch.

Yes, this subordinate obeys.

etc.

What else is there, Your Highness?

Feng Jixing pondered for a while, and said: Order people to hurry up to install a hundred Qin character battle flags and distribute them to all ministries in Yunzhongguan. I want the whole army to know whose army we are and who we are fighting for. .”

Yes, this subordinate will do it now.

Seeing Luo Yu leaving in a hurry, Feng Jixing couldn't help taking a deep breath. It was a wise decision to ask Luo Yu from Lin Muyu's side, otherwise there would be no such capable general at this moment. As for Zhang Wei, It’s okay to let him charge into the battle. He has the style of a general, but it’s not enough to let him do some civilian work. When it is immortal, it is also time to pay attention to civil affairs. After all, the coins and economy that Qin Jin has accumulated for so many years have almost been exhausted in the past ten years. At this time, the empire's treasury is empty and the whole country is exhausted.

Until noon, Feng Jixing was awakened from his dream by the voice of the messenger.

Your Highness, a remnant of the Iron Blade Army has returned.

ah……

Feng Jixing turned over from the chair and fell down. He hadn't closed his eyes for five consecutive days and nights. He was really tired. He only activated his divine power when his body was about to hit the ground. With a wave of his palm, his body floated up. After opening the door, he asked : Who is back.

His Royal Highness Qi Zuo, the Iron Blade Army followed Luo Xin to lead out of the city to fight against the scattered troops. It was led by Qin Yong, the commander of the right army of the Iron Blade Army. They suffered heavy losses, and now they are outside the city, General Zhang Wei asked me to report and ask if they should be allowed to enter Yunzhong Pass.

Okay, I'll go right away.

Feng Jixing stepped forward, and a flash of lightning flashed past, but the person had already disappeared in place, shattered and gone.

...

Slap.

Under the shade of the willow trees on the ancient road in the cloud, a ray of lightning bloomed, and Feng Jixing appeared several miles away in a flash. When he appeared, Zhang Wei and others behind him were slightly taken aback, but soon Calm down, anyone in the imperial army doesn't know that Feng Jixing is a strong man in the divine realm, so it's not surprising.

But on the ancient road, a group of remnants and defeated generals stood there with an extremely dismal appearance. The man in the front turned over and jumped off the horse. His armor was incomplete, and there were knife marks on his arms and chest. There were cracks all over his body, and his face seemed to be covered with blood.

Qin Yong, the distant blood of the Qin royal family, the ancestors used to be the blood of the ancestors, but it has become farther and farther away from the direct line in this generation, so that Qin Yong was originally just a small state and county captain, but this little The little captain, however, relied on his own ability, step by step to the position of the commander of the right army with military exploits.

The whole army dismounted and saluted His Highness King Xin.

Qin Yong yelled loudly, and the soldiers behind him, who seemed to be fished out of blood, got off their horses one after another. They all performed the current imperial military salute, kneeling on the ground with their right knees, their right fists touching the ground, and their left hands naturally placed on their left knees. Come on, bow your head and be respectful, this is the current big gift of the imperial military salute, and it will only be used when meeting princes and emperors.

stand up.

Feng Jixing's voice was resolute, and he said: Military salute, I, Feng Jixing, am a soldier.

yes.

Qin Yong stood up, led the soldiers behind him, and saluted standing up, clasping fists, holding a weapon in his right hand, and covering the back of his right hand with his left hand, humble and mighty.

Feng Jixing also saluted them, which was the respect among soldiers.

General Qin Yong, how many people do you have? He asked.

Qin Yong's body trembled: Your Highness Qi Zuo, there were 50,000 people who followed Xin Gong when they left the city, and nearly 20,000 of them were brothers from my right army. After being ambushed, five out of ten people lost, and the general only brought 10,000 people with him at the end. After rushing out, I was chased and killed twice three days ago and five days ago. There were only more than 7,000 brothers left. We lacked food and grass along the way, and many brothers were wounded and starved to death... I, the end will be powerless, More than a thousand people died of starvation, and many horses have been slaughtered, but...

Aren't there villages and towns along the way? Feng Jixing said sharply, Why don't we supply food and grass in the villages and towns?

Your Highness, I...

Qin Yong trembled all over, knelt down on the ground again, and said: The last general is incompetent, but the military law of the empire says that it will not disturb the people. The villages and towns along the way have been looted by the bandits of the Tianji Empire. Many people have been displaced. There is no food, how can the subordinates plunder, those...those brothers from the right army who starved to death would rather die than plunder the people, please Your Highness...should be punished.

good.

Feng Jixing's eyes were a little blurred, and his voice was a little trembling: Well done, General Qin Yong, this is a role model for the soldiers of the Empire... A year ago, His Royal Highness Yu reorganized the military system, reorganized the military ceremony, and covered the hands of soldiers with his left hand , the implication is 'bravery does not cause chaos, military does not violate the prohibition', General Qin Yong, you...you are more qualified to be a soldier of my Qin family than someone who surrendered like Su Changyan.

What. Qin Yong was taken aback for a moment: Su Changyan's deputy commanded him...he surrendered.

Otherwise.

Feng Jixing said with a cold face, Su Changyan sacrificed Muyu City easily without any resistance. , to receive the returned Iron Blade Army stragglers in Yunzhong Pass, and the troops we recruit will be used to supplement the Iron Blade Army in the future, can you be the commander well?

Qin Yong was stunned, and was instantly promoted from the command of the right army to the iron blade army. This promotion came too soon, but it was too late for joy. His heart was more about revenge, and he clasped his fists and said, The last general obeys orders.

Enter the customs, Zhang Wei, arrange a camp for the brothers of the Iron Blade Army, and immediately order the Spirit Fire Division to cook, so that everyone can have a full meal first.

Zhang Wei cupped his fists: Yes, Your Highness.

...

Luo Yu was standing by Feng Jixing's side, watching the rows of defeated remnants of the Iron Blade Army enter the city gate, his heart felt indescribably heavy, just like Feng Jixing's mood, Feng Jixing was sent from the Imperial Army, Longdan Camp, The Shenwei camp dispatched the last 50,000 cavalry to rush to Muyu City for a long distance, but they did not expect such a result in exchange.

The results of the ten famous generals blood-stained on the battlefield may be in vain just because of one general who surrendered.

Until three days later, an endless stream of remnants of the Iron Blade Army gathered from the mountains, fertile fields, and jungles of Yunzhong Province, and finally formed a team of nearly 30,000 people. Now there are only a few people left in the Iron Blade Army, and the praises of Northern Iron Lions, Imperial First Army, Su Clan's Great Army and so on are all gone.
