Chapter 478: Frontier First Battle

That's right, but now the Privy Council is planning to mobilize a large army

to encircle and suppress Jinxia City, and Xia Fan can't spare any effort to

monitor the movement of the Black Men.

According to the extremely simple map, the area they went to was a bit farther

south than Baiyao Mountain. It was a misty place that neither hunters nor

medicine farmers would set foot in. The fate of walking on both legs is

definitely not much better than these people, half of the death is very

common, and the safest way is undoubtedly to let Chi and Olena fly over. But

the mobility of these two people is equally important for the next defense

battle, and it is impossible to easily move away from the front battlefield.

"I am a little concerned about the other sentence." Xia Fan turned back to the

previous pages. "This Pope... seems to think that King Yong has gone astray in

the end? If it is a fanatical supporter of King Yong, he should not

unconditionally believe in it. What did Yongwang do?"

"In about a hundred years, the Heimen Sect has also undergone some changes-

after all, pure faith can't fill the stomach. They can continue to this day,

and they must be inseparable from these changes." Yan Qing said in a deep

voice, "but No matter what, we can probably confirm that the Black Gate has

something to get, and this thing is in a huge pit in the mountain."

At present, the most important information is this one.

As for the truth that Yongwang saw and the way out that the world needs to

find, these terms are too vague, and they may be deliberately beautified by

the owner of the black book, and do not have deep meaning.

By the way, Xia Fan suddenly thought, since Qiongqi is very familiar with the

situation in the mountains, would Wulie do the same?

He is a owl demon, and theoretically he has a wider range of activities than

the tiger demon.

With this idea, he immediately asked the guard to find Ulie.

Facing Xia Fan’s question, Wu Lie seemed a little nervous, but seeing Li on

one side was smiling and inflating, he courageously replied, "I do explore

places that I haven’t been to before, and I’ve also crossed Baiyao. Mountain

range, heading to the hinterland of the mountain... However, the peaks there

are higher than one, and the lower parts are all covered by clouds. I dare not

go down and check. So... I didn't see the sinkhole you mentioned."

It is probably because the high mountains block the airflow, which increases

the temperature difference, which makes the cloud layer extremely low. And

looking down from the mountain is the "sea of clouds"-unless it penetrates

it, it is difficult to overlook the sight of the foot of the mountain at a

glance.

Xia Fan originally wanted to let Wu Lie fly to the mountains to investigate,

but seeing his timid appearance, he finally dispelled this idea.

The demon is also human in nature. It is indeed a bit unkind for a person to

go single-handedly into the deep mountains and old forests to explore, and to

face the possible existence of the Black Sect and evil cults.

At this time, the princess's messenger also brought new news, and there were

signs of a large number of personnel activities on the Ganshen border.

……

In the main hall of the villa, the staff has already hung the newly drawn map

of Shenzhou on the main wall.

Thanks to the blessing of the information instrument, they finally don’t have

to move around with the army camp. Sitting in the Fengyang Villa can get an

overview of the situation and know everything that happens on the front line.

This also makes the staff more energy to toss on the strategy. Tools, such as

sand tables and large maps.

In the newly drawn map, not only roads and rivers are readily available, but

the concept of contour lines also appears on it for the first time.

I have come to Jinxia for so long, and everyone's understanding of arithmetic

can be said to have all improved to a new level.

"This river is called Lichuan, and it is also the boundary between Ganshen and

Shenyang. There are two narrowest places, Pingzhendu and Wangshandu." He

Guicai pointed at the map with a long wooden whip. "These two ferry crossings

are small towns, and the number of people is usually around four or five

thousand. But just now, I received a report from the investigating team that a

large number of people appeared outside the town, less than 10,000 people. And

two places Martial law has been imposed on the ferry, and caravans have been

banned."

"When I came back before, I was walking Wangshandu." Li whispered in Xia Fan's

ear.

"It seems that the Ganzhou Army has the fastest response time." Ning Wanjun's

tone was very relaxed, obviously not deterred by the battle, "If I guess

right, they should open up camps along the river next. , Set up a floating

bridge, and erected a sentry tower on the Shenzhou side."

This is also the most common preparation before the war.

By holding two strategic channels firmly, the enemy can continuously transport

troops to the front line. Although the movement in Liuzhou and Gyeongju is

still unclear, this kind of construction under the nose is difficult to stop

even if Jinxia notices it. Lichuan was regarded as a natural barrier in the

eyes of the army. If Jinxia couldn't pursue it effectively, it would only be a

small victory no matter how hard it fought. Maybe the opposing general wished

that the princess would gather the manpower here, leaving Shenzhou's internal

forces empty.

"I think so too." Staff He handed his hands. "The number and strength of the

Ganzhou army are limited. It's okay to pave the way for others. It is not

realistic to attack Shenzhou on your own. Because of this, I suggest that the

persimmon ask for it. With a soft squeeze, while other states and cities are

still mobilizing troops, first give Xi Lu a fierce punch and use a big victory

to inspire our army's momentum!"

"Tell me?" Ning Wanjun was obviously interested in this plan.

"Simply speaking, there are two steps. One is to launch a siege when they set

foot in Shenzhou to destroy the enemies who have crossed the border; the other

is to freeze the river and chase down the soldiers." Staff He said concisely,

"The city closest to the ferry in Ganzhou. They are all a hundred miles away,

and towns and villages cannot be defended, so as long as we can rush up, we

will definitely win."

"Sounds great." Ning Wanjun raised her mouth, "If you can cross Lichuan

quickly, you will be caught off guard by the Privy Council."

"I think ~www.mtlnovel.com~ this plan may be able to go further." Xia Fan

suddenly said.

"Oh?" Ning Wanjun looked at him immediately, "How do you say?"

"Extend the range of maneuvering so that the Ganzhou Army has no chance to

flee." He replied confidently.

……

Ganshen border, Wangshandu.

Lichuan shrinks inward here, and the narrowest point is less than 30 feet.

Although the current has become a lot turbulent, because the bottom of the

river is very flat, there are no reefs or pits, so it is still the most

suitable crossing point One.

Qi Duming is the command of the Southern Route Army, which has 5,000 troops

and 10,000 conscripts as auxiliary soldiers. He received the task of

stabilizing the ferry and laying a pontoon bridge so that the follow-up army

could enter Shenzhou.

However, this army nominally has a higher-level command, that is, Luo Aoying,

the fourth-ranking trial of the Privy Council.

"The next official asks for instructions from Luo." Qi Duming came to the main

camp and arched his hands to the guard at the door.

Not long after the latter entered, he heard a hoarse voice coming from the

account, "General Qi, please come in."

Qi Duming stepped into the account and couldn't help but shiver.

The temperature inside seems to be a few percent lower than outside, and the

air seems to be filled with dense water vapor.

"Excuse me," Luo Aoying sat on the collapse, without any intention of getting

up, "I've just been meditating on breath, it will unconsciously affect the

changes in my surrounding Qi. I don't know what is the matter with General Qi

coming to me?"
