In mid-May, when the scorching summer wind blew through the northern wilderness, the Northern Alliance began a new round of actions.
The new recruits recruited from Tezera and the ten city-states were assigned to various units. The expeditionary force selected the first batch of personnel and restored the number of 120,000 people to 200,000. The Red Dragon led by Gavin Maris The First Army and the Red Dragon Second Army led by Lacey Maris expanded from the original 100,000 to 200,000. The remaining more than 200,000 new soldiers were allocated to the army led by Earl George. In the last battle The Red Dragon Third Army was almost completely destroyed.
Except for the Third Red Dragon Group, which stayed at the border of the ferrets, the First and Second Group armies of the Red Dragon and the expeditionary force moved to the border of the Red Rock Principality, respectively in the northwest, northeast and south, preparing to attack from three sides and capture the Red Rock Principality in one fell swoop.
The Black Feather 1st and 2nd Army was stationed at the Nolan Snow Mountain front at the junction of the Silver Claw, Black Feather, Black Spear, and Cold Ridge countries to cut off Chiyan's reinforcements.
At the same time, a large number of outer continent ships and aerostats entered the Black Spear and Cold Ridge territories from the northeast of the Red Earth Continent, bringing a large number of war supplies and soldiers who had torn off their country's insignia.
In just a few days, the situation became extremely tense and war was about to break out.
At the same time, the north side of Ambergris River also entered a state of tension.
Chen Xing announced his resignation as the commander-in-chief and handed it over to Bai Ye Fenghua, while he himself arranged a very oriental position - prime minister.
The word "prime minister" comes from the ancient Eastern Continent. It specifically refers to the highest administrative officer under the king. He assists the king in the prime minister's affairs and is the leader of the officials.
In short, he is the biggest official in Ice Blue City. All departments are under his control, including politics, people's livelihood, economy, and military.
Then under the order of Prime Minister Chen, Bai Ye Fenghua reorganized the Ice Blue City military headquarters and appointed the supreme commanders of the major armies and the commanders of the lower legions. Then the 700,000-strong army was divided into two groups, facing the border of the Principality of Tianqin from the north and west. Gather together and be ready to fight across the river at any time.
The number of Baiye's first and second armies was originally about 100,000. After acquiring 500,000 new soldiers, 100,000 were allocated to each to form an army of 200,000.
Then some officers were transferred from the White Night First and Second Group Army, and officers were recruited from the bureaucratic circle of Ice Blue City to form the First and Second Southern Group Armies. The number was about 150,000. Except for the officers, basically all It's a new recruit.
Four armies, totaling 700,000 troops.
The five thousand reformers of the Heque Principality are commanded by Chen Xing himself.
Among them, Baiye's First Group Army and Southern First Group Army are responsible for operations on the northern front of Tianqin, while Baiye's Second Group Army and Southern Second Group Army are responsible for operations on Tianqin's western front.
Since the Heque Principality is north of the Ambergris River, bordering the Chiyan Principality, and separated from the Black Feather Principality by the neutral and autonomous Sanchahe City, and the expeditionary force happened to be attacking the Chiyan Principality from the south, it was not far away from the southern army fighting on the northern front. Two hundred kilometers.
It is difficult to escape detection when a large army moves, so both sides know the other's movements.
In order to avoid conflicts with his old subordinates and his own people beating his own people, Chen Xing decided to call Ye Yang Bailiu's communication to clarify his position.
"Beep...beep...beep..."
It rang for a while, but there was no answer. Chen Xing knew that Ye Yang Bailiu was angry with him, so he sent an email instead.
[Classmate Ye Yang Bailiu, I must remind you that you are now the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, and I am the prime minister of Ice Blue City. We each represent two countries with different positions, and we hope to have dialogue on the basis of fairness and mutual benefit. Don’t take your emotions personally]
After a long while, the other side finally came back.
, but only a few simple words.
[what's up? ]
[In two days, my troops will arrive near Sanchahe City. As far as I know, the expeditionary force will also pass through that area. I hope you can exercise restraint and avoid unnecessary conflicts]
They got back soon.
[If you don’t mess with me, I won’t hit you]
Chen Xing thought for a while and sent another email.
[Classmate Ye Yang Bailiu, although we are in different camps now, I still hope to maintain a peaceful and friendly relationship with you]
[You traitor, you and I are at odds with each other! ]
[Classmate Ye Yang Bailiu, please understand the situation clearly and never be impulsive. Impulsiveness will only cause regret and tragedy]
Chen Xing spoke sincerely, but the other party ignored him.
[I really want to smash your head with a hammer! ]
[I bought your hammer for you in Dragonstone Town, do you remember? ] Chen Xing played the emotional card.
[That is one of the victims’ compensation] Ye Yang Bailiu replied.
[Don’t forget, you hurt me too]
Thinking of what happened that day, Chen Xing is still a little breathless.
[Are you trying to make things even? Let me tell you, Chen Xing, no way! You are a bastard, traitorous to your country and family, and treacherous! ]
When Chen Xing saw this reply, his temper also rose.
[Ye Yang Bailiu, you betrayed me first! ]
[What are you doing with that bitch in front of me? Do you think I am blind? ]
[My dignity is no longer dignity, can I let you step on it and trample on it at will! ]
Chen Xing was furious and sent three messages in a row. My hands are shaking as I type this, and I am so angry.
[Prime Minister Chen of Ice Blue City, I must remind you that we each represent countries with different positions. I hope you will not take personal emotions]
Chen Xing lost control of his emotions, but Ye Yang Bailiu was not angry anymore and sent back what he just said intact.
Chen Xing took a deep breath several times before calming down, and then sent a message.
[If it’s more convenient, let’s communicate via video chat]
As the saying goes, there is only one love after meeting, and cold typing is definitely not as effective as video chatting.
After waiting for a while, a video call was made over there, and Chen Xing picked up immediately.
Ye Yang Bailiu on the screen is still so beautiful and charming, but her expression is a bit half-smiling, with a hint of ridicule.
"Oh, isn't this our Prime Minister Chen? It seems that Ice Blue City is really full of outstanding people, and its skin is getting whiter and whiter."
Chen Xing couldn't tell that Ye Yang Bailiu was mocking his pretty boy.
"Ahem, I'm here to talk to you about business." Chen Xing coughed twice and said seriously.
"Are your Da Bichi's breasts delicious? I heard she is the most beautiful woman in the world~" Ye Yang Bailiu said angrily, her jealousy almost showing through the screen.
"It's vulgar for you to say that." Chen Xing was not angry and said slowly, "And you are not qualified to say that I..." He showed contempt and shot back, "Did your little Bichi make you So cool? I even forgot my man’s last name.”
Since Cuilisi is Da Bichi, then Da Bichi's daughter is naturally Xiao Bichi.
"Yeah, I'm very happy~" Ye Yang Bailiu gritted his teeth and pretended to be charming, "I'm much more powerful than you, with a small body and strong strength. It's like being equipped with a motor. It lasts and is durable. It's not like You, with your silver gun and waxy head, look good but don’t use it!”
His heart ached, Chen Xing quickly stopped, "Forget it, let's not hurt each other, okay?"
Ye Yang Bai Liu rolled his eyes at him. Although there was still hatred on his face, he stopped his offensive words.
"We want peace and non-aggression." Chen Xing reiterated his position.
Seeing Chen Xing's serious look, Ye Yang Bailiu was furious. He was helpless and angry and said, "If you didn't have a mental illness to hit me, how could I hit you?"
Chen Xing said with some embarrassment, "Wouldn't it be better to make it clearer..."
As the saying goes, a war is like a raging fire, and it is out of control. Once a collision occurs, the scene will be uncontrollable.
"There are all your brothers in the expeditionary force. I sent them to beat you. Is my brain wet?" Ye Yang Bailiu said with resentment.
"That's good, that's good..." Chen Xing nodded to ease the awkward atmosphere.
After thinking for a while, he added, "There is something we can discuss."
"What's going on?" Ye Yang Bailiu looked wary.
"That, that..." Chen Xing gestured, "Can the head maid return it to me?" He was afraid that the other party would think too much, so he explained, "Now there is no one to take care of me, and I can't even get a hot meal..."
Ye Yang Bailiu became angry again, and his voice increased unconsciously, "Chen Xing, if you still have some conscience, let Jian Yue Canglian follow me wholeheartedly!" She looked like she was banging the table and getting angry, "Do you think Are these soldiers easy to lead?"
"Okay, okay, just pretend I didn't ask." Chen Xing waved his hand and gave up the idea. It is indeed difficult to make a tiger spit out the meat it has eaten.
"Yang Zhixun can give it back to you." Ye Yang Bailiu said suddenly, "He is too long-winded and very annoying."
"Well, Xiao Yang can do that too." Chen Xing said reluctantly. Although Assistant Yang is not as good as the head maid, it is still better than nothing.
"When the troops pass by Sanchahe City, I will let him go." Then the other party hung up, "Okay, I still have things to do, so let's do this first."
A few days later, the northern and western front troops were in place one after another. Chen Xing and Bai Yefenghua came to the front line and stood side by side on the river embankment.
Looking across the fast-flowing river that is more than a thousand meters wide, one can vaguely see the figures patrolling on the opposite bank.
Since ancient times, rivers have been natural chasms, even in modern wars. Sikong Shengjie's defense was located at the narrowest point of the river.
If you cross a river by force, you don't know how many people will be buried under the water.
"Do you have a strategy for crossing the river?" Chen Xing asked Bai Yefenghua beside him.
"Sikong Shengjie is good at defensive formations. With equal strength, we can't attack." Bai Ye Fenghua replied.
"Then why are we sending troops here?" Chen Xing was a little confused.
"My subordinates have a plan to capture Tianqin Castle in one fell swoop." Bai Ye Fenghua said.
"oh?"
"Go back to the combat command room and allow my subordinates to explain in detail." Bai Yefenghua said, cupping his fists.
"good!"
Two red cloaks rolled up and gradually disappeared into the military tent.
