Chapter 737 Arriving at the Land of Death
In 187 A.D., the third year of Guangxi, and five years after the opening of Fenghuo, the national war officially started!
"Ding, player Shangji, the national war has officially started. The system has detected that you have successfully signed up to participate in the national war. Would you like to lead your subordinates to participate in the national war immediately?"
Shang Ji didn't respond to the system immediately, but turned around and glanced at the 700,000 troops ready to go, as well as the civil and military officials of Pingzhou who came to see them off.
"Brother, Hongzhu, the safety of Pingzhou is entrusted to the two of you, please take care of yourself."
"My lord, don't worry, this subordinate will die to ensure the safety of Pingzhou!"
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 top priority. Abandon some territories, and do not act recklessly!"
Liu Yi and Deng Yan's eyes turned red, and they hurriedly said: "We will remember the Lord's teachings!"
Shang Ji patted the shoulders of the two of them again, took a step back, and said to the civil and military officials present: "When I will not be in Pingzhou, the routine government affairs will be handled by Hong Zhuo, and the military affairs will be handled by my brother. No one can violate it. If there is a major change, it will be decided by the two of them through discussion, and if the two have different opinions, report it to the general through a special channel, and I will make a decision in person!"
It is obviously impossible for Shang Ji to communicate directly with Deng Yan, Liu Yi and others who are far away in Xiangping, but this does not mean that Shang Ji cannot communicate with everyone in Pingzhou during the national war.
Although it is impossible for all the players participating in the battle to leave the Death Continent without authorization, they can still go offline! It is completely possible to use the real world as a communication bridge, and use the power of players to ensure communication.
Don't worry about security issues. Deng Yan has developed player intelligence lines for such a long time. It is no problem to select a few trustworthy ones to deliver messages. If it is really impossible to group and single-line password contact, it is nothing more than a little less efficient!
"I would like to obey the command of the lord, and wish the lord a victory and an early triumph!" All the civil and military officials in Pingzhou said in unison.
"Thank you for your kind words!"
Shang Ji clasped his fists slightly, stood on the commanding platform, waved his hand and gave an order: "The whole army listens to the order, the flying phoenix and fire cavalry take off to guard, the giant shield soldiers and heavy armor soldiers are outside, and the long-range troops are inside. Prepare in a defensive formation!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Following Shang Ji's order, the 700,000 troops began to adjust their formation, and all the generals were on full alert, planning to encounter a strong enemy as soon as they entered the field.
In fact, Yanhuang suggested that Shang Ji postpone entering the Continent of the National War for one day. In the first time since the start of the National War, Yanhuang arranged for people from different parts of the country to enter the Continent of Death. Enter to prepare, and the second is to hope to find the transmission law of the dead continent.
However, Shang Ji was not optimistic about Yanhuang's approach. Since the system said it was a random transmission, it was impossible to leave such a big loophole to exploit.
As for waiting for the investigation information sent by Yanhuang, Shang Ji felt that it was even more unnecessary. Even with Yanhuang's scale and ability,
It is also impossible to investigate the basic situation of the 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 almost no difference between incomplete information and no information.
Yanhuang didn't have a particularly strong reaction to Shang Ji's insistence on going his own way. In fact, Yanhuang also followed the strategy of walking on two legs. They also arranged for a large number of troops to enter the continent of death in the first time, so as to avoid being strategically passive due to the failure of decision-making. After all, the specific situation of the continent of death is blind to all countries and forces, and no one can guarantee it will what happened.
Soon, the expeditionary army had already set up a defensive formation, and everyone was waiting for it. Shang Ji looked back again, nodded slightly, and chose to confirm the transmission under the dignified eyes of everyone!
As Shang Ji made his choice, a milky white light began to appear around the army, and the light spread rapidly, covering all the more than 700,000 troops participating in the battle in just a few breaths. The light became stronger and stronger until it reached the limit and suddenly flickered for a moment. Everyone opened their eyes again, and more than 700,000 troops had disappeared.
Deng Yan and Liu Yi looked at each other, then turned to look at the civil and military ministers behind him: "My lord is going on an expedition to a foreign land, we shall be careful and guard all parts of Pingzhou. Any officials who neglect their duties shall act according to military law!"
"We will be diligent and honest, and guard Pingzhou!"
……………………………………………
When the light shrouded Shang Ji, Shang Ji only felt a little dizzy. After recovering his vision again, he had already arrived at the legendary continent of death!
"Ding, congratulations to player Shang Ji for successfully teleporting to the continent of death. You have successfully participated in the national war. I remind you again that death in the continent of death will directly reincarnate. Please proceed with caution. During the national war, the national war points will be activated. , you and your army can obtain corresponding national war points for defeating an enemy army (including the aboriginal army in the basic board) and occupying a city. After the national war is over, the national war points can be used to exchange for corresponding items. For details on how to obtain points, please refer to View attachments!"
Shang Ji didn't bother to check the specific points rules, first looked around the environment here.
Taking a rough glance, Shang Ji was slightly relieved. Fortunately, it was not directly transported to extreme environments such as deserts or forests. It looks a little barren and desolate here, but it is located on a plain without mountains and rivers. This kind of terrain is still very beneficial to the Pingzhou Army, which is dominated by the heavy equipment group.
"All ministries count the troops, and order the Flying Phoenix and Fire Cavalry to investigate in groups of 100 people, and report immediately when encountering any abnormal situation. When encountering an enemy army, don't fall in love with the battle, leave the battle and report to the headquarters as soon as possible, and remember not to be far away from the main force of the army for a thousand miles! "
Shang Ji's order was quickly executed, and the Feifeng Huoqi, who were already in the air, immediately spread their wings and flew, and a team of one hundred people, led by Su Huan, scouted all directions.
"Report to my lord, the count of the army has been completed, and the 720,000 troops have assembled, and no one has missed it."
"Okay, pass on the order, let the army rest where it is, pay attention to maintain vigilance, and ask the main generals of all ministries to stick to their posts, and never act rashly without the next order from the general. In addition, please come over with the military adviser, Feng Xiao, Bai Shou, and Wen Ruo."
After finishing speaking, Shang Ji took out an object and chose to unfold it, and all the mountains, rivers, terrains and city distribution within a radius of three thousand miles can be seen in his eyes!
Luoshu demonstrated his strategic value as an ancient artifact in this completely unfamiliar environment, and the intelligence dealers who were unable to detect it even after Yanhuang dispatched a large number of manpower and material resources learned of it in an instant.
This is also one of the reasons why Shang Ji didn't wait for Yan Huang to investigate. Why waste a day with Luo Shu?
Looking carefully at Luoshu's real geographical environment, Shang Ji couldn't help frowning slightly. The scope of Luoshu's interpretation is very large, with Luoshu as the center, all cities within a radius of three thousand miles are invisible.
However, according to Luoshu, 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.
And according to Yanhuang, there are thirty-six large cities in China's basic disk, and four giant cities. If it wasn't for Shangji's unlucky being sent to a sparsely populated area, it means that the area of Huaxia's basic disk is quite vast, at least larger than The whole Pingzhou (excluding the grassland) is big!
"My lord!"
While Shang Ji was thinking, 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 specialty, but he can also take action in emergencies.
"The four came just in time. This is the distribution of mountains, rivers and cities within a radius of 3,000 miles shown in Luoshu. Let the four gentlemen come and take a look. By the way, tell us what we should do next!"
The four nodded upon hearing the words and began to check the terrain.
After a hasty glance, the photographic memory is a basic operation for these four, and the surrounding mountains, rivers, terrain, and city distribution are branded in their hearts with just one glance.
"My lord, our army is here for the first time, and they don't know much about the situation here, and the morale of the army is a little unstable. This subordinate suggests that we should immediately capture a city as a foothold for our army."
"Brother Baishou's words are justified. Although our army is well prepared, we won't be in danger of food shortage if we stay outside for a year or so. But we don't know much about the situation in this place, so it's better to choose a city as soon as possible."
Xi Zhicai also nodded, agreeing to Chen Guan's proposal.
"What the two of you said is true. It coincides with this general. It's just that there are more than ten cities (including small and medium-sized cities) within the area shown in Luoshu. I don't know which city we should choose?"
The four of them looked at each other, and invariably focused their attention on a mid-level city about 800 miles away from here!
"Why this city?"
Shang Ji looked at the four people puzzled, waiting for their answer.
"Look, my lord, there are no large cities within 500 miles of this city. That is to say, when we attack this city, it will be difficult for the enemy to provide support in a short time. Moreover, this city is not far away from us. The distance of a hundred miles can be reached in half a day at full speed."
"Originally, our army has just arrived, and we should choose a small city first for the sake of prudence. However, both the population and the area of the small city are too small to take on the task of temporarily resting an army of 700,000. And we don't know the cities in foreign lands. We don’t know the relationship between them, and we don’t know their communication methods. If they have a harmonious relationship and convenient communication methods, rashly attacking small cities may alert the enemy army, which is not conducive to our next actions.”
"Although our army is mighty, we know little about foreign lands. We don't know the real combat power of the enemy, nor do we know how they fight. If the enemy's combat power is strong, rashly launching an attack on a large city is likely to be a disaster. The setback in the first battle put our army in a passive situation."
"Therefore, to be prudent, our army should capture a medium-sized city first, and then seek it slowly after stabilizing our position."
The four of you glanced at me and talked about all the wishes of choosing this medium-sized city. Shang Ji couldn't help nodding. Although logically speaking, the combat effectiveness of the aborigines of the Death Continent should not be very strong, but the first priority is to be cautious when marching outside. What the four of them said can be said to be the words of the country!
"What the four said is true, so according to what the four said, this mid-level city is the first target of the battle."
"Pass down the order and ask Yanchen to dispatch the flying phoenix and fire cavalry to carry out key investigations on this kind of city and its surroundings. Let General Zilong lead 40,000 silver dragon cavalry to set off immediately as the vanguard of this battle!"
After finishing speaking, Shang Ji turned to look at Guo Jia, smiled and said, "Feng Xiao, for safety's sake, why don't you go with General Zilong?"
"Subordinates obey the general's order!"
Guo Jia said very simply.
