Chapter 277: The Critical First Battle
That night, Xiang Yun, Ji Yu, Lao Liangtou, Xue'er and other nine teams, more than 20 people took the Fengyun warship, from the Water Moon Country, and returned to the northwest army dozens of miles south of Luyun Country overnight.
When coach Chu Li saw Xiang Yun who had gone and returned, he was still a little stunned.
He thought to himself, it has only been a few hours, why did His Royal Highness the Prince and the others go and return again, could it be that things have changed, and His Royal Highness the Prince and the others have not succeeded?
However, when Chu Li met Xiang Yun, the first words of His Royal Highness the Prince shocked General Chu!
"General Chu, now give the order to march overnight and borrow the road from the territory of the Nine Kingdoms to the north. ”
"Ah......?"
Chu Li was stunned, and directly let the army go north by the way, could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince wanted to directly and forcibly attack the Nine Kingdoms and go to the border of the Nine Kingdoms?
Seeing this, how could Xiang Yun not know what Chu Li was thinking, he said to Chu Li with a smile at the moment!
"General Chu rest assured, the army along the way will not be hindered in any way, the general should give the order quickly, it will change later!"
When Chu Li heard this, his heart shook slightly, but he was still a little surprised, but seeing Xiang Yun's determined expression and the appearance of a bamboo in his chest, Chu Li was also a decisive person, and immediately nodded!
"Good!"
"Pass my order, and the army will march overnight and head to the border of the Nine Kingdoms!"
Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Snow Wolf Cavalry are both lions of a hundred battles, and it is common to rush overnight, but in a quarter of an hour, the army is all packed and assembled.
Immediately, under the command of Chu Li, the army was divided into nine teams, which passed through the nine countries by means of the nine countries, and rushed to the northern border of the nine countries at the fastest speed to build border defenses!
The people of Fengyun Academy and Nameless Sect led by Xiang Yun did not disperse with the team, but led 150,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry and 100,000 Snow Wolf Cavalry with Chu Li, and went directly north to "Ruicheng", an important town on the northern border of Luyun Country!
Luyun Country is the most critical level among the Nine Kingdoms, and the most fierce place of the war must be in this city!
From the start of the army to the arrival at the border of Luyun Kingdom, Chu Li's heart has always been worried, and he is still a little unsure whether the Nine Kingdoms will really give way.
But when the army of Fengyun Kingdom came to the city, when he saw the city gate opened by Luyun Kingdom, and the news that the soldiers and horses of the other Eight Routes had successfully entered the cities of the other Eight Kingdoms.
Chu was shocked, and at the same time as the surprise, a big stone in his heart finally fell.
Then, the secret agents reported one after another that the nine countries had declared war on the barbarians, and Chu Li was shocked again, this His Royal Highness the Prince of the World really, it only took a few hours to complete all this.
For a while, he became more and more in awe of Xiang Yun in his heart.
His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is really not what it used to be, his hands and eyes are all over the sky, this time he is fighting with the barbarians, Fengyun Country may not have no chance of winning!
At the same time, north of the border of the Nine Kingdoms, a hundred miles away, huge white domes protruded from the ground at night.
This is the characteristic of the barbarian camp in the north, and at this moment, the barbarian camp is like mushrooms after a rain crawling all over the land, dense and huge!
Hundreds of thousands of barbarian armies are gathered here, and once they charge, they will make the entire north tremble!
At this moment, in the middle of the barbarian army, a huge camp tent was located in the center.
Three barbarian men dressed in battle robes and with an aura were sitting in the camp tent at this moment, their faces extremely gloomy.
At the feet of the three of them, dozens of bloody heads were rolling, as well as war letters from the Nine Kingdoms!
The atmosphere in the tent was extremely low.
"Bang ......!"
Suddenly, the barbarian man on the right, with a hideous scar on his left eye, slammed the huge cases beside him, and the table was smashed on the spot!
"Bastard thing, this group of ants of the Nine Kingdoms dares to kill my barbarian envoys, and they dare to declare war on our barbarians, what kind of things are they, they are also qualified to declare war with us!"
The barbarian man on the left, with an extremely gloomy appearance, also snorted coldly!
"Hmph, just a few small Danpill countries, this king only needs tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to destroy them!"
"Enough is enough......!"
Finally, the barbarian man with a gray beard and a sparkle in his eyes shouted in a deep voice!
"Third and seventh, calm down, it's just a borderline, even if it is given to Fengyun Country, what can you do?"
"Second brother, I really can't swallow this breath, this group of villains of the Nine Kingdoms, while flattering our barbarians, on the other hand, is opening the door for the Fengyun Country, and if they don't teach them some lessons, won't they underestimate the millions of male soldiers of my barbarians!"
These three people in the camp were none other than the commanders of the barbarians who went south this time to attack the border of the nine countries of Fengyun Country.
The second king of the barbarians, Gemuang, the third king, Tunie, and the seventh king Andrei.
Not long ago, the three of them were discussing the southward movement of the army in the camp, but suddenly got the news that the Nine Kingdoms had completely fallen to the Fengyun Country, and the sea had killed the barbarian envoys and declared war on the barbarians, and the soldiers of the Nine Kingdoms also threw the heads of these barbarian envoys into the barbarian military camp.
The three kings were angry at the same time, which led to the fury of the three kings Tourne and the seven kings Andre.
At this moment, the second king Ge Mu Ang, who was sitting on the handsome throne, had a pair of dark green eyes surging with fine light, squinted slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked a palpitating arc!
"Huh...... Do you think that with the courage and courage of the Nine Kingdoms, they dare to kill my barbarian envoy and declare war on my barbarian?"
As soon as these words came out, Tourne and Andrei, who were still angry just now, moved in their hearts.
Seven Kings Andre's pupils shrank, and he said in disbelief.
"Second brother, you mean...... Fengyun Academy?"
"Yes, apart from them, they have the courage and strength to infiltrate the Nine Kingdoms and kill my barbarian envoy without us even noticing?"
As soon as these words came out, the scar on Tourne's face squirmed, and he said ruthlessly.
"It's these guys from Fengyun Academy again, now that a big war has broken out in the Northwest Alliance, they even dare to send troops to support Fengyun Country, aren't they afraid that the Hong Barbarian Sect and the Ghost Sect will wipe them out head-on!"
Gemuang shook his head.
"Third child, what you think is too simple, as the saying goes, a hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, not to mention that the three major forces of Fengyun Academy, Daoist Academy, and Holy Elephant Sect have been based in the northwest of the mainland for a long time and still do not fall, how can they not have some background.
And the Ghost Sect and the Hong Barbarian Sect still have to take care of the behind, the prying eyes of other forces cannot really pour out, and the war between the two sides can only become more and more anxious!
Therefore, our barbarians going south this time will have a huge impact on the entire battle situation, and we must not take it lightly!
Now that we have been seized by Fengyun Academy, we have taken the lead in passing through the border of the Nine Kingdoms, and the next most important thing should be to find out how many masters have come to Fengyun Academy this time, and who is the leader of the other party!"
Hearing this, the Seven Kings Andre also agreed.
"What the second brother said is good, this war is not a simple battle between countries, but a melee between the "forces on the mountain" and the "forces under the mountain", there are no taboos and constraints, and the duel between the strong is the key to victory or defeat!"
"Second brother, are we going to send someone to the Nine Kingdoms to investigate now?" asked the second king, Tuniedang.
Gemuang sneered and shook his head.
"Why bother our own people about this kind of thing, I'm afraid that the Hong Barbarian Sect has already understood it. ”
"Seventh, third, you go together, invite a few Supreme Elders of the Hongman Sect to come and tell them that the war is about to break out in the near future, and we need to discuss how to deal with it!"
"Good ......!"
......
North of the border of the Nine Kingdoms, the originally calm and silent atmosphere was completely broken at the moment when the Nine Nations opened the country for the Fengyun Country.
The army of the Fengyun Kingdom flocked to the northern border passes of the Nine Kingdoms and various border defense towns, and immediately began to arrange defenses, raise city walls, build defensive machinery, and build various weapons to deal with siege warfare.
In this kind of large-scale military collision of millions of dollars, the soldiers of the Nine Nations were suddenly reduced from the main force of the battle to supernumerary personnel responsible for labor, material transportation, and control in the city.
And the city defense, sentinel, reconnaissance ...... and other tasks, all taken over by the Northwest Army!
In just three days, the border defense city of the Nine Kingdoms, which was originally sparse and ordinary, and could not be regarded as powerful in terms of defensive and offensive capabilities, was transformed into an "iron plate" military fortress with high walls and thick walls.
Whether it is protection and attack power, or even reconnaissance capabilities, they have reached the first-class level in the northwest.
This huge change made the soldiers stationed in the city of the Nine Kingdoms, who were originally excluded as supernumerary personnel, convinced, and some of the last complaints also turned into awe!
In the past three days, Fengyun Country has seized all the time to build a sergeant fortress on the border of the nine countries and build a border defense line.
And the barbarian army, which has been preparing for battle for a long time, has finally made a move!
As early as a few days ago, 300,000 barbarian troops came to Tiger City, intending to break through the pass and directly take Dragon City, the imperial capital of Fengyun Country!
The barbarian army gathered 700,000, of which 200,000 went to Nanhan Pass, and 500,000 troops came to the border of the Nine Kingdoms.
A full 700,000 troops, east and west, divided their troops and marched forward, looking at Yincheng from afar!
Among them, the most stressful is naturally the border of the nine countries!
Now, the barbarian army a hundred miles away has marched again, and has come to the border of the Nine Kingdoms more than ten miles away and is stationed.
Standing on the wall of the Nine Kingdoms, you can even clearly see the rolling white camp tents, as well as the dark green, murderous barbarian military flags!
The army pressed the realm, like a black cloud pressing the city, and the atmosphere in the entire Rui City suddenly became tense, obviously, the barbarian army would no longer give Fengyun Country a chance to continue to strengthen the city defense.
Tomorrow on the border of the Nine Kingdoms, it will be an inevitable fierce battle, and this is also the first battle between the Fengyun Kingdom and the barbarians!
On the night of the same day, Chu Li urgently convened a meeting, which was attended by the Northwest Army, the generals of the army above the general level, and everyone discussed and made the final arrangements for the start of the war.
And Xiang Yun, Ji Yu, and Lao Liangtou appeared in the city lord's mansion to meet Chu Li.
"General Chu, can everything be arranged?"
For this kind of battle between the two armies, often tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people, Xiang Yun has no experience, so naturally Chu Li is fully responsible.
"Your Royal Highness, rest assured, this is not the first time that our army has fought with the barbarians, no matter how powerful the barbarian army is, we have a way to deal with it!"
"That's very good, I came to General Chu tonight, just to remind the general that this battle is not an ordinary battle between two armies.
Now the Hongmanzong, the Ghost Gate, and the Fengyun Academy will all participate in it, but when the two armies really charge, we can't help the army, otherwise the Hongmanzong and the Ghost Sect will probably not abide by the agreement.
Moreover, tomorrow, the nine countries will send generals to Ruicheng to watch the battle, whether the nine countries can completely work together with our Fengyun country depends on tomorrow's battle!"
Chu Li naturally knows what tomorrow's battle means, not only to reinvigorate the confidence of the Nine Kingdoms, but also to show momentum and hope for the other two battlefields of the Fengyun Country, Nanhan Pass and Tiger City!
"Your Highness, rest assured, on the frontal battlefield, we will definitely withstand the impact of the barbarians, and we will never drag Your Highness back!"
Xiang Yun also showed a solemn look on his face.
"Everything is General Lao!"
