In 187 AD, three years after Guangxi, and five years after the opening of the Beacon Service, the national war officially began!

"Ding, player Shangji, the national war has officially begun, and after the system has detected that you have successfully signed up for the national war, will you lead your subordinates to participate in the national war immediately?"

Shang Ji did not respond to the system immediately, but turned to look at the 700,000 troops who were ready to go, as well as the civil and military officials of Pingzhou who came to see him off.

"Brother, Hongzhuo, the safety of Pingzhou is entrusted to the two of you, and please take care of it."

"Don't worry, my subordinates will ensure the safety of Pingzhou to the death!"

Shang Ji took a step forward, patted Liu Yi and Deng Yan on the shoulders, and whispered in their ears: "Although the safety of Pingzhou is important, the two brothers still need to ensure their own safety as the first priority, and they can give up some territory at critical moments, and they must not act recklessly!" ”

Liu Yi and Deng Yan's eyes turned red, and they hurriedly said: "We will remember the teachings of the lord!" ”

Shang Ji patted the two of them on the shoulder again, took a step back, and said to the civil and military officials present: "During the period when the general is no longer in Pingzhou, the regular government affairs will be handled by Hongzhu, and the military affairs will be handed over to the elder brother, and no one shall violate them. If there is a major change, the two will discuss and decide, if the two have different opinions, they will report to the general through special channels, and the general will make a decision in person! ”

Obviously, it is impossible for Shang Ji to directly communicate with Deng Yan, Liu Yi and others who are far away in Xiangping, but this does not mean that Shang Ji will not be able to communicate with the people of Pingzhou during the National War.

Although it is impossible for all players participating in the war to leave the Death Continent without authorization, this is not still offline! It is completely possible to use the real world as a bridge of communication, with the help of the player's power to ensure communication.

Don't worry about security, Deng Yan has developed a player intelligence line for so long, and it's no problem to pick out a few trustworthy ones to deliver messages, but it's really not possible to contact with a single-line password in groups, it's just a little inefficient!

"We will obey the order of the lord and general, and wish the lord a victory and an early victory!" All the civil and military officials in Pingzhou said in unison.

"Thank you for your auspicious words!"

Shang Ji clenched his fists slightly, stood on the point platform, and ordered with a wave of his hand: "The whole army listens to the order, the Flying Phoenix Fire Cavalry rises into the air to be on alert, the giant shield soldiers are outside, and the long-range troops are included, ready in a defensive formation!" ”

"Boom, boom!"

With Shang Ji's order, the 700,000 army began to adjust its formation, and the generals of all departments were also on full alert, preparing to encounter a strong enemy as soon as they appeared.

In fact, Yan Huang suggested that Shang Ji postpone one a day before entering the National War Continent, and in the first time the National War began, Yan Huang arranged for people to enter the Death Continent in different parts of the country, one was to investigate the situation of the Death Continent and prepare for the subsequent large-scale army entry, and the other was to hope to find the teleportation law of the Death Continent.

However, Shang Ji is not optimistic about Yan Huang's approach, since the system said that it is a random teleportation, it is impossible to leave such a big loophole to drill.

As for waiting for the reconnaissance information sent by Yan Huang, Shang Ji felt that it was even more unnecessary. Even with Yan Huang's scale and ability, it is impossible to investigate the basic situation in Huaxia District in one day, and even one-tenth of it may not be able to complete the investigation.

In the context of the immediate transmission, there is little difference between incomplete and no information.

Yan Huang did not have a particularly strong reaction to Shang Ji's obstinacy, in fact, Yan Huang also pursued a two-legged walking strategy. They also arranged for a large number of troops to enter the Death Continent as soon as possible, so as to avoid falling into strategic passivity due to the failure of decision-making, after all, the specific situation of the Death Continent is a blind sight to all countries and all forces, and no one dares to guarantee what will happen.

Soon, the expeditionary army had already set up a defensive formation, and everyone was in full array, Shang Ji glanced back again, nodded slightly, and chose to confirm the teleportation in the solemn gaze of everyone!

As Shang Ji made his choice, a milky white light immediately began to appear around the army, and the light quickly spread and spread, covering all the more than 700,000 troops participating in the battle in just a few breaths. The light grew stronger and stronger, until it suddenly flickered when it reached its limit, and everyone opened their eyes again, and more than 700,000 troops were gone.

Deng Yan and Liu Yi glanced at each other, and turned to look at the civil and military ministers behind him: "The lord is on an expedition to a foreign land, we should be cautious and guard all parts of Pingzhou, and any official who has neglected his duties should be engaged in military law!" ”

"We should be diligent and honest and guard Pingzhou!"

………………………………………………

When the light shrouded Shang Ji, Shang Ji only felt a little dizzy, and after regaining his vision again, he had already arrived at the legendary Death Continent!

"Ding, congratulations to the player Shang Ji for successfully teleporting to the Continent of Death, you have successfully participated in the national war, and once again remind you that dying in the Continent of Death will be directly reincarnated and reincarnated, please act cautiously. During the National War, you and your army can earn the corresponding National War Points by defeating an enemy army (including the original army on the basic plate) and capturing a city. After the end of the national war, you can use the national war points to exchange for corresponding items, please check the attachment for specific points to obtain points! ”

Shang Ji didn't bother to check the specific points details, and first looked around the environment here.

After a general glance, Shang Ji breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, I wasn't transported directly to extreme environments like deserts or forests. It looks a little barren and desolate, but it is located on the plain, without mountains and rivers, and this terrain is still very favorable for the Pingzhou Army, which is dominated by heavy groups.

"All departments counted the army, and ordered Feifeng Huo to ride in groups of 100 people, reconnoiter all directions, and report any abnormal situation immediately. Don't fall in love with the enemy when you encounter the enemy, get out of the battle as soon as possible and report to the headquarters, and remember not to break away from the main force of the army for a thousand miles! ”

Shang Ji's order was quickly executed, and the Flying Phoenix Fire Horse, which was already in a state of lift-off, immediately spread its wings and fly, and a team of 100 people reconnoitred the Quartet under the personal leadership of Su Huan.

"Report to the lord, the number of troops has been counted, and all the 720,000 troops have been assembled, and no one has been missed."

"Okay, pass the order, let the army rest in place, pay attention to maintain vigilance, ask the main generals of all departments to stick to their posts, and absolutely do not act rashly without the next order of the general. In addition, please ask the military advisor and Fengxiao, Baishou, and Wenruo to come over. ”

After speaking, Shang Ji took out an object and chose to unfold it, and all the mountains, rivers, terrain, and city distribution within a radius of 3,000 miles were fully visible!

In this completely unfamiliar environment, Luo Shu showed his strategic value as an ancient artifact, and the intelligence merchant who Yan Huang sent a large amount of manpower and material resources that could not be detected was learned in an instant.

This is also one of the reasons why Shang Ji does not wait for Yanhuang to investigate, why waste a day with Vena?

Carefully looking at the actual geographical environment of Vena, Shang Ji couldn't help frowning slightly. The scope of Vena Shu interpretation is very large, with Vena as the center, all cities within a radius of 3,000 miles have nothing to hide.

However, according to Vena, there are only six large cities within a radius of 3,000 miles, and the density of this city is not even half that of Pingzhou.

According to Yan Huang, there are 36 large cities and four giant cities in the Huaxia basic plate, if it is not for the very bad luck of the merchants to be transported to the sparsely populated area, it means that the area of the Huaxia basic plate is quite vast, at least larger than the entire Pingzhou (excluding grassland)!

"Lord!"

When he was thinking about it, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Chen Guan and others came together. Although Xun Yu is better at government affairs, military strategy is not his forte, but he can also take action in times of emergency.

"The four of you came just in time, this is the distribution of mountains and rivers within a radius of 3,000 miles shown in Vena, the four gentlemen come to take a look, by the way, what should we do next!"

The four of them nodded their heads and began to check the terrain.

After a quick glance, it was a basic operation for these four to remember it, and just one glance burned the distribution of the surrounding mountains and rivers and cities in their hearts.

"My lord, our army has just come here, I don't know much about the situation in this place, and the morale of the army is also a little unstable, so my subordinates suggest that we immediately capture a city as a foothold for our army."

"Brother Bai Shou's words are reasonable, although our army is well prepared, there is no danger of food shortage after staying outside for a year and a half. However, we don't know much about the situation, so it's better to choose a city as a place to settle down as soon as possible. ”

Xi Zhicai also nodded, agreeing with Chen Guan's proposal.

What the two of them said was very true, and it coincided with Ben Jiang. It's just that there are more than 10 cities (including small and medium-sized cities) in the area shown in Vena alone, I don't know which city is better for us to choose? ”

The four of them glanced at each other, and they all focused their eyes on a middle-level city about eight hundred miles away from here!

"Why this city?"

Shang Ji looked at the four of them puzzled, waiting for the four of them to answer.

"Look, my lord, there are no large cities within five hundred miles of this city, which means that if we attack this city, it will be difficult for the enemy army to support it in a short time. Moreover, the city is not far from us, a distance of eight hundred miles, and it will take half a day to march at full speed. ”

"Originally, our army had just arrived, and it was prudent to give priority to choosing a small city to attack. However, the small city was too small in population and size to take on the task of temporarily resting an army of 700,000. And we don't know the relationship between the foreign cities, or how they communicate. If they have a harmonious relationship with each other and a convenient means of communication, a rash attack on a small city may alert the enemy and be detrimental to our next move. ”

"Our army is mighty, but we know very little about foreign lands. We do not know the true combat strength of the enemy's army, nor do we know their combat methods, if the enemy's combat strength is strong, it is likely that an imprudent attack on a large city will be frustrated in the first battle, leaving our army in a passive position. ”

"Therefore, for the sake of prudence, our army should first capture a medium-sized city, stabilize its position, and then slowly plan for it."

The four of you look at me and say a word, and you will choose all kinds of willingness of such a medium-sized city together, Shang Ji couldn't help but nod his head when he listened. Although logically speaking, the combat effectiveness of the aboriginal army of the Death Continent should not be very strong, but when the army is outside, prudence and caution should be the first priority, and what the four of them said can be described as the words of seeking the country!

"What the four said is very true, and according to what the four said, take this middle-level city as the first target."

"Pass the order down, let Yanchen dispatch the Flying Phoenix Fire Horse to conduct a key investigation of this kind of city and its surroundings. Let General Zilong lead 40,000 silver dragon iron cavalry to set off immediately as the vanguard of this battle! ”

After speaking, Shang Ji turned to look at Guo Jia and smiled: "Fengxiao, for the sake of safety, how about you go with General Zilong?" ”

"The subordinates obey the general's orders!"

Guo Jia said very simply.
