Moreover, Zhao Long, who was young and vigorous, was also extremely resentful of the Loulan Army's previous actions of massacring and causing trouble to the people, and wished he could lead his army to massacre more enemy troops.
When the generals asked for battle just now, he had already moved his mind and wished he could lead the Zhenbei Army to kill them immediately, so that the Western Region armies could taste the power of the Dachuan Iron Cavalry.
But firstly, it was because of his face, and secondly, because the Marquis had not spoken out yet, it was not easy for him, the commander-in-chief, to take the initiative to ask for a battle.
Now that the Marquis had agreed, he had no worries and immediately accepted the military order.
Xie Xing also accepted the order without hesitation. In fact, their 50,000 Yue Family Army was also a member of the defense force. Nie Ze respected them, so he called them the Yue Family Army. In fact, the only one who could really control the Yue Family Army was Xie Xing. That’s all.
After all, he was the most powerful general under Marshal Yue back then.
If it were not that Marshal Yue's greatest wish was to defend his country, Xie Xing was unwilling to disappoint him and was also worried that the remaining Yue family troops would be bullied. Otherwise, the frustrated Xie Xing would have been disarmed and returned to his field long ago.
This time Nie Ze sent the Zhenbei Army and the Yue Family Army out to support, which was the most correct choice and had no selfish motives.
The soldiers and horses sent out are more expensive than more expensive. The two troops combined to 70,000 people are most suitable, and they will not consume too much food and grass.
The other defense forces are not as powerful as them. It is more than enough to stay and use the city walls and formations to defend against the demon clan and the Western Region. If they are sent out, they will probably suffer even greater casualties.
After the meeting, Zhao Long and Xie Xing both went to prepare for the army's expedition.
When an army goes out, it is not as simple as just leaving. The preparation and escort of food, baggage, and materials are top priorities.
After all, we can't let the soldiers set out hungry and then sleep on the open road, nor can they just carry a knife and not bring any consumables such as arrows and kerosene.
These things are tedious.
Fortunately, Yumen Pass is an important military town. The soldiers have long been accustomed to marching and fighting. They have sufficient combat preparation resources and can just pull up and leave.
Early the next morning, Zhao Long and Xie Xing set out with 20,000 Zhenbei troops, 50,000 Yuejia troops, and 30,000 auxiliary troops.
They did not recruit civilian men. Once they arrived, the journey was not too far, and it was enough for the auxiliary troops to escort the food and grass.
Secondly, the people in Yumen Pass had to do corvee labor which was already very heavy. They had to help defend the city, repair the city walls and build military supplies, etc. Zhao Long and Xie Xing did not want to add another burden to them.
Let’s talk about Dachuan’s military system here.
The lowest level is the soldiers. Ten soldiers form a team, and the captain of the ten is called the team leader.
Ten squads form a brigade, and the centurion is also the captain of the brigade, and his military rank is called Dutou.
Ten brigades constitute one battalion, and the rank of commander is called commander. Zhao Long was originally the commander.
Ten battalions constitute a corps, and the commander of ten thousand soldiers is called a general.
Going up, there are the number of corps with different numbers at the borders and in the capital. No matter how many corps there are in a place, whether it is two or twenty, the highest commander is called the commander-in-chief.
On the top of the city, Han Yun frowned even more as he looked at the mighty army marching south.
For some reason, an unknown premonition arose in his heart and became stronger.
He comforted himself by saying that he might not have cracked the Buddhist conspiracy yet, so he kept feeling that he was gradually falling into a trap.
Zhao Long and Xie Xing led the army all the way south, and Han Yun also returned to his Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
During this period of time, due to the constant fighting and a lot of trivial matters, the teaching progress slowed down. Now that there is nothing to do, he went back to Yue Shuai's Mansion with Xiao Yuxin in his arms.
Don't forget, before he became a first-grade Taibao, Zhenbei Marquis, and a second-grade strong man, the identity he first had, the identity that made him famous all over the world, was the master of Yunwu Palace.
That Hall Master Han who loves to be a teacher and teaches everyone.
As a human being, you should never forget your roots at any time.
Li Miaoyuan, Wang Hanshi, Peng Cheng and Yu Ming all went out with the army.
Without them, Han Yun's side became much quieter. He sat in Commander Yue's mansion and explained martial arts to the young disciples in an orderly manner.
Qi Xiaoyu was busy, and many orphan children came to Fuze Garden. Because during the previous disaster in Loulan, many adults hid their children and went to fight the enemy on their own. When the army finally came to support, they found that these children.
The Fuze Garden in the two counties was overcrowded, and there were many widows and lonely people. In desperation, they had no choice but to send a batch to Yumen Pass.
During this period, Han Yun and Nie Ze have been keeping a close eye on the movements of the demon clan in the north, fearing that they would take the opportunity to attack the Great Wall and the fortress. However, the demon clan is still making small fuss as usual, only focusing on the grain transport teams and caravans around Yumen Pass. , sent a small group of monsters to attack, as if the Western Region army's destruction of Yumen Pass had nothing to do with them.
Han Yun was a little curious. If he were the king of the demon clan, if he could not defeat Yumen Pass, he would definitely send more low-level beasts to bypass the open space between the Great Wall and Yumen Pass, and then follow the example of the Loulan Army and harass the people of the two counties. , massacre.
Anyway, those low-level beasts are everywhere on the grassland. They are worthless at all. They are just like food. Moreover, they run so fast that it is difficult for the cavalry to catch up. They can rush into the fields and forests and massacre the people.
In this way, no matter how strong there are in Yumen Pass, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, it will be difficult to kill them all. Instead, it will be easy to be exhausted and the troops will be scattered, and they will be divided by the demon clan and then killed.
The Yumen Pass blocks the Demon Clan entirely by relying on formations and solid walls. However, if the Demon Clan and other countries in the Western Regions want to enter Dachuan, they must break through the Yumen Pass.
The countries in the Western Region are worried that the Yumen Gate will cut off their logistics and retreat, and surround them.
As for the Monster Clan, the Monster Clan doesn’t rely on logistics, so why do they have to attack Yumen Pass? They can completely bypass Yumen Pass and attack the Central Plains.
After Han Yun thought about this level, he couldn't help but think about it at a deeper level.
Looking at the actions of the demon clan after he came to Yumen Pass, it seems that the demon clan came to attack Yumen Pass because he provoked the demon clan. In the past, the demon clan's attacks on Yumen Pass were not to fight to the death, but more like a training and training. The effect of harassment.
Han Yun has heard since he was a child that the Great Wall blocks the monsters in the north, preventing them from entering the interior and invading the people. However, can the Great Wall really block the monsters?
The Great Wall is very wide and thick, and can prevent the invasion of terrestrial monsters below the third level, but what about those above the third level? What about the flying monster?
This can't be stopped.
Moreover, second- and third-grade monsters can completely destroy a section of the Great Wall, allowing the monster army to pass by. Even the Yanshan Mountains behind it cannot stop the monsters.
Then why don’t the demon clan do this?
Han Yun thought for a long time and came to the conclusion that the demon clan was not ready for a full-scale war with Dachuan.
First, their top combat power and overall combat power are not as good as Dachuan. If they are stronger than Dachuan, they will definitely cross the Great Wall and attack the Central Plains.
Secondly, there is the Yin Yang Sect, there are many strong men, and the overall combat power is strong. After the demon clan crosses the Great Wall, the first thing they have to face is the behemoth of the Yin Yang Sect. As long as the Yin Yang Sect can resist for a period of time, then the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will be defeated. The Great Wall army can attack the demon clan from both front and back.
Most of the demon clan will still have to be wiped out by then, and the demon clan will not make such a suicidal move.
