Chapter 732

The sun is rising, and the sun is shining brightly.

In the morning light, the three armies are like three dragons going out to sea, mighty and mighty, starting from the west gate, north gate and east gate of Zhenhai city in turn, embarking on their respective journeys.

To bid farewell to the three armies, Huo Qubing did not stay in Zhenhai City.

In Huo Qubing's plan, there was no rear army at all, let alone a reserve force.

Huo Qubing will personally lead the Imperial Guard Corps to implement a long-distance detour from the northeast, directly inserting into Chaozhou County, the easternmost part of Lingnan Province. Then go north from Chaozhou County and attack Shaozhou County, the northernmost part of Lingnan Province.

To the north of Shaozhou County is the Hunan Province.

Long-distance roundabout combat is exactly what Huo Qubing is good at.

At the same time, the Jiaozhou Fleet stationed in the outer city of the city had also set off, passing through the dotted Pearl River system and penetrating into Lingnan Province.

The tasks of the Jiaozhou Fleet are, first, to provide waterway cover for the army, and second, to transport food and grass materials on a large scale and in a wide range when necessary, and even directly transport the army.

In the waters of Lingnan Province, the Jiaozhou Fleet is invincible and has no natural enemies. If the main city of the territory happened to be built on the bank of the Pearl River, they could only consider themselves unlucky.

Admiral Shi Lang of the Jiaozhou Fleet is an experienced naval general. Under Shi Lang's command, what role the Jiaozhou Fleet will play in the Battle of Lingnan is really worth looking forward to.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the first Shi Wansui army crossed the border of Zhenhai City and officially entered the hostile territory. The other side's border guards were wiped out by the army before they could react.

The flames of war were officially ignited.

In just one morning, armies from all walks of life found their targets one after another and began to attack the city.

The entire Jiaozhou County was caught in the flames of war, and there was nowhere to live.

It wasn't until this time that the news that Shanhai City had shifted its marching target spread, and the world was shocked.

*************

Yunnan Province, Allied Command.

"Is the news accurate?" Qin Feng confirmed to the intelligence personnel for the third time.

"It's absolutely true. According to the reports of the spies, it can be confirmed that the Imperial Guard Corps of Shanhai City, the Second Corps of the Longxiang Army, the City Guard Corps, and the Third Corps of the Huben Army are all in Lingnan Province."

"call!"

Qin Feng let out a long sigh of relief, not knowing whether he should be grateful or angry.

Can't understand it better!

From the beginning to the end, the target of Shanhai City was [Lingnan City-State], and their [Yunnan City-State] was just a smoke bomb released by the enemy, an imaginary enemy, and confused everyone.

"damn it!"

The huge pressure was suddenly relieved, and Qin Feng felt a faint anger of being underestimated in his heart. "So, Shanhai City has never regarded us as opponents of the same level?!"

"What should we do now, take the initiative to counterattack?" someone suggested.

Qin Feng suppressed the inexplicable emotion that had just ignited in his heart, shook his head and said: "What is the counterattack? Don't forget, the enemy has also deployed two field legions on our border. Which of you has the confidence to defeat the enemy with 200,000 allied troops?" the two legions?"

When asked by Qin Feng, all the lords looked at each other, embarrassed.

Not to mention the newly reorganized Third Army of the Longxiang Army, the First Army of the Longxiang Army led by Bai Qi, the god of killing, is the oldest army in Shanhai City, and its combat power is even comparable to that of the Imperial Guards.

No one has the confidence to defeat the killing god.

Seeing the faces of the lords, a trace of contempt flashed in Qin Feng's heart, and he said solemnly: "So, let's wait and see what happens, and don't take the initiative to provoke that killing god."

All the lords nodded in unison, deeply agreeing.

As for the life and death of the [Lingnan City-State], there was nothing they could do. After all, when the four major city-states were discussing matters, what Ruan Ping promised was nothing more than to contain the Tiger Army in Shanhai City.

Now they are taking the initiative to "contain" the Longxiang army, which is the best of their benevolence.

"My friend, wish yourself the best of luck!"

*************

Southern Shonan Province, Caiyun City.

In the lord's mansion, Caiyun Zhinan had just received the news, and immediately invited Zhang Liang to discuss countermeasures, and asked anxiously: "Zifang, Shanhai City attacked [Lingnan City-State], how should we respond?"

"What do other people think?"

"They? A group of shrinking turtles!" Mentioning this, Caiyun Zhinan's face became very ugly, "They mean to keep the original plan unchanged, we are responsible for containing the Baotao Army in Shanhai City, and we should not act rashly."

Zhang Liang nodded, not seeming surprised.

"Sir, you also think you should stand still?" Caiyun Zhinan frowned.

"No!"

Zhang Liang shook his head, "My lord, the situation may be worse than you thought." Then, Zhang Liang began to analyze the current battle situation with his lord, focusing on the strategy he had single-handedly laid out.

"It can be foreseen that once the [Lingnan City-State] falls, the situation of Lianheng will be broken. At that time, we will have to face a Shanhai City that is more than twice as powerful. At that time, the Lord still has the confidence to resist it. The invasion of Shanhai City?" Zhang Liang finally said.

Zhang Liang's analysis was exactly the same as Shanhai City's strategy.

The name of seeking saints is indeed well-deserved.

Before leaving the house, Zhang Liang clearly saw the strategic purpose of Shanhai City, which is really admirable.

Caiyun Zhinan heard this, and broke out in a cold sweat.

"I'll go and explain it to them right away." Caiyun Zhinan got up and left, in a hurry.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang secretly shook his head.

Sure enough, within an hour, Caiyun Zhinan came back again with a depressed expression.

"Damn it, they're all short-sighted people!" Cai Yunzhinan cursed, obviously the result of his meeting with the lords of [Shunan City-state] was not ideal.

Not everyone has the courage to break the boat.

Not everyone can have a high vision.

The lords have nothing to say about the local defense, it is their responsibility to defend the land!

But if they take the initiative to send troops to the south of the Five Ridges and directly confront the army of Shanhai City, they are a little unhappy.

"The situation of the battle is unclear now, and the war has just begun. It's better to wait until the [Lingnan City-State] asks for help, and it's not too late to make a decision." The lords shirked like this.

Caiyun Zhinan was not an eloquent person, he was speechless when he was told.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows in his heart that saving people is like putting out a fire!

According to Gaia's regulations, city-states can only form alliances in name, and cannot form alliances twice within themselves. In other words, if [Shunan City-state] sends troops to support [Lingnan City-state], it cannot be directly teleported there.

At most, they can only teleport to the border, and then march from the border.

Therefore, if you really want to rush to help [Lingnan City-State], naturally the sooner you send troops, the better.

"When the situation of the war is clear, the day lily will be cold!" Caiyun Zhinan thought bitterly.

Zhang Liang saw that his lord's face was cloudy and uncertain, so he knew that his speculation was true. Having been in Caiyun City for so long, Zhang Liang already knew the mentality of the city-state lords like the back of his hand.

"More than cautious, not enough courage!"

This kind of mentality can't be said to be bad, but in such a cruel environment in the wilderness, it may be difficult to achieve great things with this kind of mentality, and it is difficult to become a hegemony.

In contrast, their opponent Shanhai City is commendable.

The other party is more cautious than anyone else when he should be cautious, but he is more courageous than anyone else when he should take risks.

Just like this Lingnan War, such a large-scale attack is an extremely bold plan, and even Zhang Liang did not expect it beforehand.

"Ovary, what should we do now?"

The lord's question interrupted Zhang Liang's thoughts.

Zhang Liang had already thought it through, and said, "My lord, I can't wait any longer. Immediately unite a few hard-core allies and form a large army to go south and send troops to Shaozhou County."

"Send troops directly?" Caiyun Zhinan was a little uncertain after hearing this.

"That's right."

"Must it be so?"

"It has to be."

"Okay." Caiyun Zhinan gritted his teeth, "Fight it, I'll go and gather the army."

If he really made up his mind, Caiyun Zhinan would be able to go all out.

…………

Compared with [Shunan City-State], the [Northern Sichuan City-State] next door has no movement at all.

Regardless of whether Shanhai City is attacking Yunnan or Lingnan, the [Northern Sichuan City-state], which is already a mess internally, has the same attitude, and is only responsible for containing the Leopard Army of Shanhai City.

Everything else is out of their consideration.

*************

Lingnan Province, Allied Command.

Three days ago, Ruan Ping had set up a temporary headquarters to deal with the southern border war.

The original purpose was exactly what Ruan Ping had promised Qin Feng before: to be responsible for containing the Huben Army of Shanhai City, and would consider dispatching troops to Zhaoqing County if necessary, and confront Shanhai City directly.

Therefore, Ruan Ping has been sitting in the headquarters for the past few days.

Unexpectedly, the mainland, which was still calm yesterday, suddenly set off a stormy sea.

Undoubtedly, when Shanhai City attacked Jiaozhou County, Ruan Ping and the others were the ones who had the greatest impact.

"My God, what the hell happened?"

After the exterminated lord was resurrected in Wangcheng, he still looked ignorant.

The other lords in the headquarters were even more panicked.

"how so?"

"It's over, it's over!"

"Damn it, isn't the plot like this?"

The lords were terrified and helpless. They didn't know what to say for a while, they spoke incoherently, fidgeted, walked up and down in the hall, and their faces were pale.

Some territories close to Zhenhai City can't sit still.

Some forcibly returned to the territory, and some knew that they could not resist the army of Shanhai City, so they stayed at the headquarters, hoping that the city-state could come up with a solution.

Even Ruan Ping, who was as strong as Ruan Ping, couldn't help but feel weak when he first got the news, and almost fell to the ground. For [Lingnan City-State], this news is like a bolt from the blue.

Think about it, in addition to the four major armies commanded by Huo Qubing, plus the Jiaozhou Fleet and the two armies commanded by Sun Bin, Shanhai City's army that attacked [Lingnan City-State] this time exceeded 500,000.

It is twice as much as attacking [Yunnan city-state]. Just thinking about it makes people shudder.

"Shanhai City really thinks highly of us!" Ruan Ping laughed at himself.

The other lords couldn't laugh at all, this joke is not funny at all!
