Facing Ying Zheng's declaration of war, not many people in Nanzhan Continent took it to heart. You must know that both the human race and Donghuang are the weakest existences among the four directions of Nanzhan Continent. .
Not many people paid much attention to this human king who had grown in size just after he unified the Eastern Wastelands. There were even many monsters who didn’t know the name of the king of this dynasty!
Many big demons who were close to the Eastern Wilderness laughed ferociously, sharpened their swords, held celebrations in advance, and waited for the arrival of the Qin army here, treating them as winter rations for their own caves.
Faced with all this, many people in Da Qin are also a little worried about this matter.
"Have you heard? The king seems to be really going to war."
"Yes, yes, they have issued a vocation to declare war!"
"I heard that the second son of Lao Li's family next door accepted the call to join the army!"
"The second boy of the old Li family is different now. I heard that he is already a top-notch master. I just don't know if he can defeat monsters."
Countless people throughout the Qin Dynasty were extremely worried.
For them now, food tax is no longer a problem, but they still have some taboos about monsters.
After all, for so many years, the word monster has always been synonymous with terror for people, and they dare not touch it.
Those large towns are okay, there may be solutions to monsters. If monsters appear in some small towns, it will definitely lead to a loss of life and countless casualties!
The tragedies spread among the people are still vivid in our minds!
Now that the Qin Dynasty has been unified, there is the Xian Qin Temple, and the number of Qi practitioners has increased to more than a thousand, this has made the trouble caused by these monsters slightly better, but there are still monsters occasionally coming from remote areas. Raging news.
And now, His Majesty actually takes the initiative to attack other areas of Nanzhan Buzhou!
I heard people say that these other areas are full of monsters. Is it really possible to attack the entire Nanzhan Continent like this? They were extremely worried!
In fact, not only the people, but also some people who know how powerful the many monster forces in Nanzhan Continent are, such as the various schools of thought and the Qi Practitioner Sect, are also looking worried all day long!
Because Ying Zheng has always treated everyone in the Qin Dynasty equally, the current Qin King's regime has surrounded the mountains and the mountains. They, the various schools of thought and practitioners who once transcended the outside world, have also been drafted and need to join the army.
This was unimaginable before, but under the shadow of the huge Qin State, their three melons and two dates of Qi Refiners really did not dare to resist.
"Oh, we have only been stable for a few years, and now there is a war again, and the flames of war are burning on our heads."
"The current Qin State is indeed very strong. Whether it is combat power or wealth, it is almost several times that of the previous six countries, but it is still not enough to be seen in Nanzhan Continent."
"Oh, I'm afraid this battle won't be easy."
"There is no other way but to believe in the King. No, now it should be said that I believe in His Majesty."
"Well, your Majesty does have great talents and great strategies. In just ten years, he made the entire Qin world prosperous and the people prosperous. This is an achievement that cannot be ignored. But is it too early to attack Nanzhan tribe now? .”
"Life is hard."
In fact, not only these Qi practitioners and various schools of thought, but also many people on both the military and political sides of Great Qin were worried.
However, this concern was quickly suppressed by them.
After all, His Majesty's orders are everything.
Obeying orders is the duty of a soldier.
Others can be suspicious, but they can't be suspicious!
However, the thirty-six counties of the Great Qin Dynasty were nervously preparing soldiers, horses, food and fodder, raising various logistics and supplies, and were preparing to start cooperating with the forty expeditionary troops and horses to attack together.
A sudden change occurred where no one expected it.
On the night after Ying Zheng announced that he would mobilize the whole country to attack the three lands of Nanzhan Buzhou, the two northernmost counties of the Qin Dynasty, Dai County and Shanggu County, were attacked by monsters!
This raid came too suddenly!
Although the Qin State had already made preparations for taking precautions when it announced that it would take action against Nanzhan Buzhou, it was still unexpected that these monsters would come in such a large force!
Most of these monsters come from Donghu, or the area north of Donghu, located in the northern part of Nanzhanbuzhou. They collude with each other and join forces to drive various beasts together in groups towards Daijun and Shanggu counties. Come and kill!
Like a tidal wave of monsters, they appear from the dense forest!
Under the guidance of the Donghu barbarians, they arrived near the Great Wall at night!
By the time the many Qin soldiers guarding the Great Wall came to their senses, these monsters were already less than a hundred meters away from the city wall!
Tens of thousands of wild beasts were frantically attacking the Great Wall. The terrifying pressure immediately made all the defenders go numb!
There are naturally soldiers and Qi practitioners guarding the Great Wall here, but their number is too few!
Looking at the monsters and ferocious beasts that were several times larger than their own, many Da Qin soldiers and Qi practitioners were ready to die on the battlefield!
Many Qi Refiners also set up defenses, trying to fight in a bloody battle against this surging monster attack!
However, what no one expected was that the goal of these monsters was not to capture the Great Wall!
While many beasts were confronting the guards of the Great Qin Great Wall, those monsters that had already entered the realm of cultivators and reached the foundation-building realm used their methods to cross the city wall with lightning speed and head towards the rear. Kill the brightly lit cities of the two counties! !
"Grandpas are here!"
"Hahaha!"
"Sweet human flesh!"
A ferocious smile rang in his ears, and the peculiar smell of monsters echoed in his nostrils. Looking at the black shadows disappearing one after another, the eyes of the many Great Qin Qi Refiners who were responsible for the defense on the Great Wall turned red!
"Damn it!"
"Stop them!!!"
They roared angrily and left the city wall one after another, picking up weapons and desperately trying to stop the invasion of these monsters!
However, their number is so small!
The number of monsters on the opposite side is at least dozens of times greater than theirs. How can they be their opponents?
After desperately stopping some of them, more monsters howled and rushed into the town!
Fiery fire and screams rang out from distant towns. The flames of war were raging, and the eyes of many Da Qin soldiers were red, and their chests were about to burst!
But no matter how hard they try and how they roar, they just can't break out and leave to save the people!
These monsters burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil!
And they left just as quickly as they came. In less than half an hour, they completely destroyed the entire town!
By the time the officer responsible for managing this place received the news and hurriedly led an army from nearby to the attack site, the place had already been reduced to a ruins!
Bodies everywhere fell to the ground. The town that was supposed to be prosperous and peaceful has almost turned into a hell on earth!
Countless people were crying.
The blood flowing from the corpses almost dyed the entire town red!
"Asshole!!"
Seeing this scene, a soldier and Qi practitioner named Da Qin was almost furious, his chest almost exploded, and his breath seemed to be filled with flames!
However, just after they reported to the top, several other counties in Daqin also suffered from different harassment and attacks in the next few days!
"Youbeiping was also attacked!"
"Northland too!"
"Bajun and Shujun were also attacked by different monsters!"
"These monsters really deserve to be killed!"
Seeing this scene, the Da Qin officials were extremely angry in their eyes, and their murderous intent surged. They wished they could gather their troops and march into Nanzhan Buzhou now!
However, in the face of Qin's anger, these monsters didn't seem to care at all. They laughed, were extra showy, and even threw corpses outside the Great Wall of Qin!
"Hahaha! This is your Qin country? It's too weak, so weak that you can't even touch grandpa's butt hair!"
"But I have to say that the taste of you Qin people is indeed delicious, much better than those of Donghu and Xiongnu people!"
"Especially women and children, the taste is the most delicious!"
One monster after another, arrogantly provoking, completely ignited the anger of the entire Qin Dynasty!
Even Ying Zheng, who rarely expressed his joy or anger in the past, saw all this, and his eyes were filled with chills!
"How many troops and horses have been prepared at the moment? Are the many logistical supplies sufficient?"
"Report to Your Majesty!"
"Now, all the forty troops of the Qin Dynasty are fully prepared, and the grain and grass supplies in the treasury are enough for the Qin Dynasty to fight for ten years!"
Wang Jian replied respectfully, with a pair of red phoenix eyes burning with fighting spirit and anger!
"Is the attack plan properly prepared?"
Hearing this, Wang Jian's eyes instantly lit up. Although he was called the God of the Qin Army, he believed that there were few people in the world who could surpass him in military campaigns and expeditions.
But when he first heard the strategy described by Ying Zheng, he couldn't help but be amazed!
"Back to Your Majesty, the plan to attack the south, west, north and south of Nanzhan Buzhou has been prepared!"
"According to your order, Weichen has adjusted corresponding measures several times and issued them to many armies,"
Hearing this, many generals also nodded with bright eyes!
"Back to Your Majesty, regarding the plan for this war, the ministers and others have already been prepared according to His Majesty's orders and have studied many essentials!"
"Next, as long as His Majesty gives the order, we can raise our troops and set off to conquer the three continents!"
One after another, the generals spoke in a deep voice with bright eyes!
In fact, at the beginning, many generals were a little worried about Ying Zheng saying that he had plans to attack the three places.
After all, Nanzhan Buzhou is different from the Six Kingdoms. If others don't know the three lands of Nanzhan Buzhou, how can they not know it? This is definitely a hard nut to crack, and it will definitely be countless times harder than the Six Nations.
Preparations had already begun several years ago!
During the seven years that Ying Zheng was in seclusion, they had secretly sent countless spies to the depths of the three major regions of Nanzhan Buzhou to gather information.
They wouldn't know this unless they inquired about it, but once they inquired about it, they knew more clearly how powerful the three major regions of Nanzhan Buzhou were.
There are all kinds of big demons, demon kings, and demons that have become spirits. There are so many of them, and they are often just the little demons that have become spirits under the command of a big demon. That is, the number of Qi practitioners is comparable to any of the original Six Kingdoms.
The number of these great monsters is at least ten times that of the Six Nations, almost a hundred!
In order to capture Nanzhan Buzhou, Wang Jian Meng Ao and a group of military generals and counselors spent several years overthrowing and rebuilding, thinking back and forth, and prepared several attack plans.
In the end, they decided on the final plan, which was to first attack the southern area, which is the weakest among the three parties, and then attack the other two areas. This is also the most common military plan.
However, after Ying Zheng came out of seclusion, he frowned and thought for a while before rejecting their plan.
"This method of attacking one side first and then dividing the troops into two groups is indeed the most orthodox attack method in this situation. However, while this method captures Nanzhan Continent, it is also destined to cause unimaginable damage to the Qin Dynasty. huge loss."
"It's not that Gu is saying that this plan is not good, but Gu has another plan. I wonder if you would like to listen to it?"
"We will discuss it in detail whether to adopt it or not."
Ying Zheng's tone was calm, with a hint of royal majesty, but not arrogant.
After hearing his words, many generals were confused, but they did not dare to say anything and just nodded respectfully.
"Your Majesty, please make it clear!"
Ying Zheng nodded and opened a thick map. This is the map of Nanzhan Buzhou that Wang Jian, Li Si and others spent a lot of money to produce over the past seven years. However, there are still too many areas that are blank and this place cannot be explored. , not complete.
On this map, the places that Qin can explore are densely recorded, rigorously and clearly.
"Dear dear friends, do you know that compared to the previous six countries, although the monsters in Nanzhan Continent are powerful, they actually have a fatal weakness."
The fatal weakness?
Many generals were stunned for a moment.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, pointed at the monster marks on the map, and spoke softly.
"Think about it carefully. Although these monsters have shown malice towards Da Qin, do they have very little contact with each other?"
Many generals frowned, and after a while, Meng Ao nodded slowly, "It seems that is indeed the case. According to the reports of the spies, each of these monsters has its own territory, just like animals. , they do not invade each other, they do not interfere with each other, and they have very few contacts.”
"Once a monster enters the territory of other monsters without authorization, it will attract crazy attacks. This is regarded as a symbol of provocation."
Meng Ao seemed to vaguely understand something, but it was still a little hazy. He looked at Ying Zheng doubtfully: "But Your Majesty, what does this have to do with the fatal relationship? Do you want us to drive different monsters to different areas, or Are they using countermeasures to make them fight each other? This may be a bit difficult."
Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head: "Of course that's not the case. In the past, these little tricks were only used once when attacking the city and dealing with the Six Kingdoms, but if they are placed in the vast Nanzhan continent, they will be seen through soon. It has no effect at all.”
"Then your Majesty's plan is"
"My dear, don't be anxious, listen to what I have to say first." Ying Zheng said with a smile. In his deep black eyes, there seemed to be stars circling and the sun steaming: "These monsters have always been like this. They were born out of ferocious beasts. , and also inherited various characteristics of ferocious beasts. Although they are monsters, they are still wild beasts in their hearts."
"Although each of them is individually powerful and not weaker than the former Six Nations, they are also all arrogant."
"Unless one monster is frightened and annexed by another monster, they will never unite with each other."
Not able to unite?
Many Da Qin generals were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes widened suddenly, and their breathing became a little rapid!
"Wait, Your Majesty, are you saying that these monsters will not unite?"
Many generals are veterans of the battlefield, so they naturally know what this sentence means!
You must know that although there are many demon clans in Nanzhan Continent, although they are powerful, if they cannot unite and deal with Da Qin together, but fight separately, then the difficulty of this battle will be reduced a lot!
Although the overall strength of the opponent is very high, if they only attack one by one, then Da Qin really has nothing to fear! !
There are more than 1,500 Qi Practitioners, but if you can't defeat a hundred Qi Practitioners, it's just a joke!
But soon, Ying Zheng's next words poured cold water on them!
"It doesn't mean they will never unite."
"In the end, after they really discover how powerful Da Qin is, as long as they are not stupid, they are destined to join forces in a life-and-death crisis."
Hearing this, the excitement of many generals suddenly fell down again, revealing a wry smile!
Don’t we have to join forces in the end?
What's the difference?
Your Majesty, you said this
Isn’t it the same as not saying anything?
And just when all the generals were helpless, only two veterans, Wang Jian and Meng Ao, suddenly had their eyes twinkling.
"Wait, it's still different." Wang Jian suddenly said, his eyes shining with a strange luster: "In the beginning, these three monsters were not united."
"That's right."
Looking at Wang Jian approvingly, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "At least at the beginning, the demon clan in Nanzhan Continent will not unite."
"This is the key to this war and the opportunity for Great Qin to win."
The key?
Many generals are a little confused, where is the key?
Looking at a group of generals who didn't expect anything, Ying Zheng didn't pay attention. His eyes were filled with holy light: "I wonder if you have ever heard of such a saying, which is called Xu Xutu Zhi, Thunder Attack?"
"In this battle against the three sides of Nanzhan Continent, instead of cowardly attacking one place, Da Qin might as well take advantage of the initial negligence of these monsters, attack from three sides, and directly attack the area around Da Qin first!"
"If the attack is quick and clean, the area captured will definitely not be small!"
When they heard this, many generals were still a little puzzled and confused. After all, although Da Qin's power was strong now, if it really faced the three major areas of Nanzhan Continent at the same time, the hope of victory was still extremely slim.
Although they can gain the upper hand in the beginning, in the long run, they simply cannot gain the upper hand. It would be good if they can hold on to these areas.
Um?
etc.
Guard these areas?
Many generals were stunned for a moment, and then their pupils suddenly shrank, and cold sweat broke out all over their bodies!
"It seems that you have thought of it a lot," Ying Zheng said with a smile, "Yes, this time we are going to fight against Nanzhan Buzhou, who said we have to start a war with three parties at the same time?"
"Gu said before that we have to figure it out slowly."
Slowly placing his finger on the map, Ying Zheng was wearing a black cloak and his eyes were shining brightly.
"Nibbling."
"This is the most important theme of this war!"
"Don't think about taking down the entire Nanzhan Continent in a short time. This is absolutely unrealistic!"
"Compared to the barbaric Southern and Southern Triangles, what are the advantages of our Great Qin Eastern Wilderness? Wealth, abundance, and logistics! Ten years of recuperation has made our supplies almost inexhaustible and inexhaustible!"
"Even if I fight on my own against the other three major regions, I will definitely not be inferior!!"
"Abundant supplies with the greatest wealth in the world!"
"This is what gives the lonely Great Qin the confidence to fight against the entire Nanzhan tribe!!"
Like thunder!
In an instant, as if they were struck by lightning, almost all the generals of Great Qin were enlightened and instantly understood what Ying Zheng meant! !
yes!
They had always regarded this war as a battle between Qi practitioners. The number of Qi practitioners, which often numbered in the tens of thousands, made them somewhat transcend the scope of war!
But now that I think about it carefully, why do they use their own weaknesses to compete with the other party's strengths? !
Where is Da Qinqiang now? Although there are many Qi practitioners, they are definitely no match for the entire three-way area of Nanzhan Buzhou!
They are strong in logistics!
The strength lies in materials!
Among the three forces in Nanzhan Continent, all are barbarians. Although there are huge resources, they never know how to develop them. They have not obtained real materials. They can only pick wild fruits, hunt, or rob. Make a living!
If it's a short-term collision, that's fine, but what if it's a long-term battle?
How can these monsters fight if they have no source of various supplies?
They, the Great Qin, can set up camp and rely on the rich Eastern Wasteland for supplies to prolong the battlefield, but these demon clans have no logistics and supplies, how can they continue to compete with the Great Qin!
"We have enough time to delay with them!"
On the pavilion, Ying Zheng spoke slowly, the breeze flowing around him, his sleeves swaying, his black gold cloak exuding heavy imperial majesty, his eyes gushing with glow!
"Since the entire demon tribe in Nanzhan Continent doesn't take the lonely Great Qin seriously and mocks them at will, then let them mock!"
"Then let them be as arrogant as they like!"
"Don't you look down on Gu and Da Qin? Don't you think Gu is arrogant? Well, then Gu is arrogant! Let's continue acting according to their ideas!"
"At the beginning of the battlefield, attack simultaneously in three directions: south, west, north and south!"
Hearing what Ying Zheng said, one of the generals named Da Qin had also come back to his senses. His eyes were shining brightly and the blood in his body seemed to be boiling!
"Your Majesty is right!"
Meng Ao stood up, his white hair flowing, his tone was passionate, his expression was excited, and his words were trembling to the extreme!
"Such an attack in three directions is bound to surprise the demon tribes in Nanzhan Continent! Because in their eyes, under certain circumstances, we, Da Qin, are indeed at a disadvantage!"
"Under such a disadvantageous situation, no one would have thought that we would attack from three sides!"
"That's right!"
Wang Jian also spoke. The eyes of the Great Qin's No. 1 God of War shone with fighting intent as fierce as the sea. His bones made a clanging sound, and he exhaled like a dragon!
"While they were careless at first, we quickly occupied part of the area, hit with all our strength, and completely wiped out this part of the demon clan!"
"This is the top priority! As long as we succeed here, that's half the battle!"
"Next, the second step of the plan can be carried out!"
"We just need to hold on to these places and plan for them slowly! Just drag them down!"
"That's right! Your Majesty's array of three thousand gods and demons, as well as the Immortal Monument Temple, can be expanded into the territory of Great Qin!"
"As long as the land captured by our Great Qin, we have absolutely no intention of taking it back!"
"Among these, the most important thing is to give up when things are good, and you must not be greedy for credit and rush into anything!"
"Yes! As long as you occupy the local area, you can stop it as soon as you can. There is no need to chase and fight those monsters. Everything is focused on preserving your strength!"
All the famous generals were completely enlightened. They stood up excitedly, spittle flew everywhere, and discussed excitedly. Their hearts were extremely excited!
You are worthy of being a king!
This fanciful plan is to take advantage of their contempt and attack the three southern provinces of Nanzhan. How did Your Majesty come up with this idea? How dare you think of it?
Looking at the many generals discussing excitedly below, Ying Zheng also laughed and looked at it all quietly.
"But there is another problem. What if they unite, come to their senses, and start harassing our front?" Meng Ao opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
No one answered, they all looked at Ying Zheng.
Regarding this question, Ying Zheng also laughed and said softly: "There is no need to be nervous about this. Anyway, these areas are not originally the territory of Great Qin. If they come to fight, just give it to them. Anyway, Great Qin has endless material support. , enough to withstand long battles.”
"When they run out of supplies and start to retreat and relax, we can naturally easily retake these positions."
"To put it simply, there are only two sentences for these monsters."
"Certain the land as a camp and plan it slowly."
"When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we pursue; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack."
"If even this doesn't work and these monsters continue to make noise here without knowing what they are doing,"
Standing up slowly, Ying Zheng tapped the table gently, smiling brightly. There seemed to be great symbols boiling in his eyes, and endless stars surging.
"Then You Gu."
"Come and destroy it."
