At this time, another big shot entered the hall. This person was Kaiding, the Zombie King of Xichuan.
Kaiding asked as he walked: "Is the beauty who ran out just now Su Yue?"
"That's right," Bane replied.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Su Yue for a long time, and she seems a little more beautiful." Kaiding smiled.
"Why are you here?" Sol asked.
"I'm here to discuss with you whether to support the Imperial Palace."
"What's the situation now in Xichuan?"
"Ao Lie from Xichuan mobilized almost all his troops and launched a comprehensive attack on the land east of Hedong. Now he has occupied more than half of the territory east of Hedong."
"So the defense of Xichuan Land is very weak now?"
"You could say that."
"Then what are you doing here? How long will it take if you don't take this opportunity to occupy Xichuan!" Sol said excitedly.
"Are you sure? Now Ao Lie is in the same boat as us to a certain extent." Kaidin asked.
"Ao Lie cannot be in the same boat as us. He is now taking advantage of our clan. We have attracted the main force of Jiang Zhi's forces, and he just happened to take advantage of it and attack the land east of the river. I despise such a despicable villain. accurate."
"But if we launch a full-scale attack on Xichuan at this time, then Ao Lie may give up the attack on Hedong and turn to defend us."
"So you have a heavy responsibility. You must capture Xichuan as soon as possible without giving them time to return to defense."
"Are you really sure you want to do this? If Ao Lie and Jiang Zhi's forces cooperate, how can we stop them?" Kaidin still hesitated.
"Ao Lie has occupied most of the territory of Western Province, and the fire of hatred has been burning out of control. Jiang Zhi's forces and Ao Lie's forces are no longer sworn in, and it is impossible for them to cooperate again. So you must seize the opportunity now and hurry up Take action and quickly sweep through Xichuan." Saul said anxiously.
"Bain, what do you think? Do you agree with Thor's idea?" Kaidin turned around and asked.
Bain sat on the chair, holding his forehead with his hands, thinking for several minutes, but still couldn't make a decision.
"Bain, have you thought about it?" Thor became more and more anxious.
"What you two said makes sense, so this matter must be carefully considered and cannot be acted upon rashly," Bain replied.
“If you think about it again, you’re missing out on the opportunity.”
"Then we must also think carefully. When we make a decision, we must think carefully about the benefits this decision will bring us. Whether the benefits outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the benefits."
"Of course the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. For example, if we lose Beiming, at least we still have Xichuan, and Xichuan will be our new stronghold."
"Assuming that Xichuan can be successfully captured, how sure are you?" Bain looked at Kaidin.
"To be honest, it's hard to say. It depends on whether Ao Lie will return home."
"Is there a possibility that Ao Lie abandoned Xichuan, continued to attack Hedong, and finally occupied Hedong."
"Yes, I think there must be." Sol said excitedly.
"Why do you think so?" Bain asked.
"The reason is very simple. Ao Lie has already attacked Hedong, why is Jiang Feng still staying in Beiming? Obviously, this is a gamble, it depends on who is faster. Jiang Feng can gamble, and so can Ao Lie."
"That's right, if Jiang Feng goes back home, all his previous efforts will be in vain. In the same way, if Ao Lie goes back home, all his efforts will be in vain. So Ao Lie will make a bet and occupy Hedong at all costs. ." Bain gradually recognized Thor's idea.
"Then, will a new pattern emerge? Jiang Feng occupied Beiming and received our surrendered troops and civilians. We occupied Xichuan and received Ao Lie's surrendered troops and civilians. Hedong occupied by Ao Lie took over Jiang Feng's surrendered troops and civilians." Saul became more and more curious as he thought about it.
"Then it is Jiang Feng who suffers in the end, because the Gray soldiers and civilians can find opportunities to run underground. After all, there are ant caves everywhere."
"Yes, that's it. Let's take a gamble and see who is faster."
"Well, let's take a gamble."
Baine and Thor finally reached an agreement, and Kaedin had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, I'll go back and organize it now, and strive to push Xichuan quickly."
The next day, Kaiding returned to Xichuan, organized nearly one million troops, and launched a general attack on Xichuan.
Xichuan's elite and main troops basically went to Hedong, so the number of defenders in most cities was seriously insufficient and could not stop the zombies' human sea tactics. Soon, in just one day, five cities in northern Xichuan Province were occupied by zombies.
On the other side, Sindu is the capital city of Ha Dongxi Province.
Now Xindu has been occupied by Ao Lie's forces. Not long after Ao Lie settled in Xindu City, the battle report from Xichuan came over.
Ao Lie was furious after reading the battle report. He was so angry that he smashed the conference table with his fist: "Stupid zombies, their brains are flooded."
Guo Jia, who was standing next to Ao Lie, said disapprovingly: "I told you before that the zombies might take advantage of the situation and sneak in."
"But isn't the zombie clan's biggest enemy Jiang Feng? Instead of using his troops to defend Beiming, he uses them against me instead?"
"If Kaidin's troops are moved to Beiming, it will take at least ten days and a half. And even if they go to Beiming, they may not be able to defend the Imperial Palace. After all, Jiang Feng now has the most powerful group attack power user in Yanhuang. . Coupled with the fact that Xiaotian is dead, the chance of the Imperial Palace holding on is very slim. Therefore, the zombies plan to find another way to occupy Xichuan to make up for the loss of Beiming."
"Damn it, I really regret not listening to you before. What should we do now? Should we go back home?" Ao Lie was now filled with hatred and anger.
"Go home? Then wouldn't our previous efforts be in vain?"
"Then what should we do? Are we going to let the zombies do whatever they want?"
"Actually, we don't need to be too nervous. Now Kaiding has only occupied some border cities. As he continues to deepen, Kaiding will understand that it is impossible to occupy Xichuan in a short time. In the hinterland of Xishu, mountains are crisscrossed, and the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend. It is difficult to attack. Although our defenders are not many, they can still resist for several months, even half a year." Guo Jia said calmly.
"I understand everything you said, but I'm really angry. I'm afraid that by the time I conquer Hedong, half of Xichuan's territory will belong to the zombies."
"Don't say it's half. If we can successfully capture Hedong, Xichuan will be worth giving up entirely."
"Are you kidding?" Ao Lie said displeased.
"The land east of the river is as rich as several Western Shu. If we can gain a foothold here, the unification of Yan and Huang will be just around the corner."
"But watching the zombies occupy Xichuan makes me very unhappy."
"If you achieve great things, some sacrifices are unavoidable. So I suggest that you continue to move eastward and hurry up."
"knew."
Ao Lie said he understood, but inside he was so angry that he almost exploded. He clenched his fists, thinking that when he completely occupied the land east of Hedong, he would return to Xichuan to settle accounts with the zombies.
"Actually, the zombies are not what worries me the most." Guo Jia suddenly looked worried.
"What's the meaning?"
"I recently received some news that a small number of guard towers and defensive fortresses were attacked by an unknown force, and there were no survivors."
"Isn't the sentry tower often attacked before? Is it necessary to make a fuss about it?" Ao Lie asked doubtfully.
"The role of the sentry tower is for reconnaissance. I'm worried that the sentry discovered something and was later silenced."
"What do you think it will be? Can you divine it?"
"I've tried many times, but I can't find it."
"It's just a sentry tower, not a city. There's no need to worry about it." Ao Lie patted Guo Jia on the shoulder.
"I hope I'm overthinking it."
On the other side in the distance, Li Ming led the Wudang Flying Army forward on a mountain path. In view of the complicated terrain here, the army's marching speed was not very fast.
There are about a hundred senior scouts shuttled around. Their purpose is to detect any anomalies nearby. Once suspicious enemy soldiers are found, they will kill them without mercy. They must not let the enemy soldiers know that the Wudang Flying Army has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Xichuan.
Li Ming rode a tiger and leopard beast and looked at the map in his hand.
"How far are we from Wenchuan City?" Li Ming asked.
"Our current location is here," the deputy general pointed to a certain point on the map. "If nothing happens, we can reach Wenchuan within two days."
"We have to be more careful next. We destroyed some towers and fortifications before, hoping not to be suspected."
"We didn't leave any survivors. The current situation is so turbulent, they shouldn't suspect us."
"hope so."
At the same time, gray garrisons in various parts of the North Ming Dynasty continued to set up ambushes on the main roads, constantly hindering the progress of the coalition forces.
Each coalition army has about 50,000 troops, as well as a lot of baggage supplies, equipment, etc., so they cannot move as lightly as the Wudang Flying Army. They make a lot of noise every time they march, and their whereabouts can easily be traced by Gray scouts.
The Grays constantly set up ambushes, specifically attacking transport troops, seizing supplies, destroying the wheels of battering rams, etc. The coalition forces spend a lot of energy every time to deal with ambushes and protect supplies. Although the speed was a bit slow, fortunately the troops did not suffer many casualties, and overall they continued to approach the imperial capital.
200 kilometers away from the imperial capital, one of the coalition forces encountered a powerful zombie corps. The leader of this corps, Feng Du, is very competitive. He is a wind power user and the apprentice of General Zhuo Da.
Feng Du set up an ambush and paved the ground with yellow sand. When the coalition forces arrived, he blew up the yellow sand to confuse the coalition forces. Then the Gray soldiers attacked the transport troops and robbed supplies.
Feng Du's regiment robbed a total of three grain trucks and a truck with weapons.
The leader of the coalition forces is Zhao Wenbin, and the deputy leader is Hei Ya. Both of them are self-respecting people. They were angry that the supplies were taken away like this, so they ordered the cavalry to pursue them in order to regain the supplies.
But this order was opposed by the military advisor.
"The enemy only stole three grain trucks and one weapons truck, which only accounted for one-tenth of our total supplies, so there is no need for us to pursue them," the military advisor retorted.
"Are you kidding? It's so shameless to have things taken away like this." Hei Ya said unhappily.
