Regardless of the situation on Lu Yunyou's side, after receiving the news of the fall of Lan City, the Feng Kingdom royal family was in panic. After Tang Jinjian returned to Pofeng City, he directly asked the Feng Kingdom royal family to severely punish Zhang Yuangang, but the Feng Kingdom royal family The command cannot be executed.
The barrier to the west of Feng Kingdom was breached by the Star Army, and the enemy troops were just around the corner. Although Pofeng City and Lan City were hundreds of miles apart, the Feng Kingdom royal family had to consider the safety of Kyoto first.
There are no important checkpoints between the two cities that can be fortified. Even though many places in Feng Kingdom have high mountains and rivers, there happens to be a flat plain between Pofeng City and Aolan City, so the Star Army can march into Pofeng smoothly. city, and there is no need to worry about encountering any ambush on the way.
In short, losing Languan means that a sharp knife has been hung over their heads. How can the Feng Kingdom's royal family have time to punish the Zhang family? The only remaining troops in Feng Kingdom are not even enough to resist the Star Army's attack. , There is really no manpower available.
After the Feng Kingdom's royal family gave the reply that they had no time to severely punish the Zhang family, Tang Jinjian could only put the matter aside for the time being and focus on the defense of Pofeng City. If Pofeng City was breached by the Star Army again, then Feng Kingdom's Most of the land will become the territory of the Star Kingdom. As a weapon of the ancient Yuan Dynasty, Feng Kingdom will completely lose its effectiveness, and his position in the army will also be unable to be maintained.
After regarding the defense of Po Feng City as the key, the Feng Kingdom's royal family immediately ordered those Feng troops to return to defend Po Feng City and directly obey the royal family's orders. In this way, Tang Jinjian no longer had any doubts in selecting the commander.
Now the Feng Kingdom royal family is waiting for several armies to arrive in the imperial city. They are usually discussing how to resist the Star Army's attack. The Star Army has won consecutive battles and is too prestigious. However, they have lost consecutive battles and their morale is low. Judging from the current morale of the two armies. , even if their military strength is slightly higher than that of the Star Army, they still have little chance of winning, so the royal family has been discussing matters to resist the Star Army.
In the Imperial City, people are panicked. Many people in the Imperial City are still afraid of the reputation of the Star Army. The defeat at Aolan Pass completely broke their psychological defenses. Many civilians cannot imagine how ferocious the Star Army is and how they can capture a city in one day. An impenetrable city.
The atmosphere of panic spread everywhere. The civilians were even more panicked than the civilians in Aolan City when the Star Army was stationed outside Aolan Pass. But if even the Imperial City was not safe, where could they escape to.
Time passed little by little, and as Lu Yunyou and the others got closer to the Feng army in front, the atmosphere in the army gradually became tense. Every soldier knew that the number of enemy troops they had to face far exceeded them, and they could only Rely on resourcefulness to win.
In fact, compared to the situation in other places, the Phoenix army that Lu Yunyou and the others faced was not much larger than them. There was a star army that had to face many more enemy troops than that star army. Thirty thousand, such a disparity in strength is really nerve-wracking.
In any case, as they continued to catch up, everyone was afraid that their plan would not be implemented. Although they maintained high morale and couldn't wait to fight Feng Jun, that was based on the success of the plan. If something unexpected happened, Maybe they will face a tough battle.
The person responsible for commanding Lu Yunyou and the others is an arrow camp chief general, and an infantry camp chief general assists him. The rest are ordinary generals of each battalion. During the short rest, those generals were discussing matters in a temporary tent. Now They were only thirty miles away from the Phoenix Army in front, and they needed to deploy their personnel as soon as possible.
According to the news sent back by the spies, the normal marching speed of the Feng Army was only one-third of their marching speed. However, in order to ensure the condition of their personnel, they could no longer march as fast as before.
More than a dozen generals made various suggestions for the next war. Some suggested ambush in the area in front of the Feng Army's marching route, while others suggested attacking the Feng Army directly. After all the talk, the generals' opinions were delayed. Unite.
There are all generals from the three battalions in the camp. Most of the suggestions given by the generals of the three battalions are based on the terrain suitable for the soldiers of their camp. As the commander-in-chief of the army, Fang Quyin must make decisions based on the suggestions given by his subordinates. A suitable location for them to ambush the Feng Army, an area that can maximize the combat power of their three battalions. Because the soldiers of the Arrow Battalion will be the main force in the next battle, the choice of terrain will naturally favor the terrain suitable for the Arrow Battalion. Terrain for battalion ambush.
The generals of the other two battalions had no objection to the Arrow Camp's priority in choosing combat terrain. After all, this was the fact. They could not put forward opinions that were detrimental to the battle situation in order to allow the soldiers in their own military camp to exert more combat power.
The meeting did not last long, because they had already discussed the general plan on the way. When a complete battle plan was formulated, Lu Yunyou and the others had just rested and it was still early, so Fang Quyin directly gave the order to set off.
Setting off again, the Xing Army's march slowed down to twice the speed of the Feng Army. If calculated based on fifteen miles per hour, it would take at least six hours for them to catch up with the Feng Army in front without eating or drinking.
Fortunately, there is only more than an hour until dark. After dark, Feng Jun will find a place to stop and rest, and Star Army will arrive near Feng Jun's camp in the middle of the night.
Since the Feng Army cannot march at night, the Xing Army can bypass the Feng Army's camp and rush to the front of the Feng Army, and then go to the section of road suitable for ambushing the Feng Army to ambush in advance. Therefore, according to the generals' estimates, the earliest time to ambush the Feng Army is tomorrow. .
Before setting off, the generals had already considered the issue of time. In addition, having to travel for six consecutive hours was also a problem for the Star Army. After all, the soldiers needed to rest.
As the Star Army quickened its pace and got closer and closer to the Feng Army, everyone became more and more nervous. However, only a small part of that tension was due to fear of the Feng Army, and most of it was the desire for war. This may make people feel strange. , but there are indeed many people in the Star Army who yearn for war.
"Yun You, when we start the war with the Feng Army, don't be too busy protecting me and Gundam. You can kill more enemy troops and perform well. Our commander will definitely note your contribution when he sees it." , when the Xingjun stopped to rest, Gao Li talked to Lu Yunyou again.
"Yes, Yun You, with your strength you can definitely kill many Fengjun," then, Gao Dao added, not doubting Gao Li's statement at all.
"Although our two brothers are not strong, we can barely rank in the middle of the army. When the war starts, Gundam and I will be fine if we take care of each other. Just kill more Fengjun," the excitement at the thought of killing people In Gao Li's heart, there was an uncontrollable excitement.
Driven by that feeling, Gao Li kept recalling the previous scenes of fighting with Feng Jun. Those bloody scenes no longer made him tremble.
Unlike Gao Li, Gundam's desire to kill is not as strong as Gao Li's, but he has completely accepted the cruelty of war and can face war with a normal mentality more than Lu Yunyou.
Of course, although their brothers said they did not need Lu Yunyou's care, they still hoped that Lu Yunyou could take care of him at the critical moment, so that the two of them would feel more at ease against the enemy on the battlefield. Speaking of which, the two brothers had never doubted Lu Yunyou's strength. Pass.
"Brother is right, Yun You, you should also let me and my brother train more on our own strength, so that when you leave the army in the future, my brother and I will not die easily on the battlefield," still as upright as before, Gundam's sincere tone revealed a bit of maturity.
War can change people's personalities. Lu Yunyou knows this very well. The feeling the two brothers give him now makes him feel that they have changed a lot. Indeed, they have experienced several wars. Each of them has changed more or less, and some have changed. People show it, and some people don't. Thinking back to the situation when he first met the two brothers, Lu Yunyou nodded to them on the surface, but still had the intention to protect them in his heart.
"Okay," after a while, Lu Yunyou did not forget to remind the two of them: "You should be careful on the battlefield."
"Don't worry, as long as we are not surrounded by enemy troops, Gundam and I will be fine." Seeing Lu Yunyou promise them, the two brothers immediately made the promise with a smile.
"The general above said that we can't attack Feng Jun until tomorrow. Before the war begins, we have to rush to the place where Feng Jun was ambushed as soon as possible, and then rest there and prepare an ambush." Then, Gao Li directly talked about the upcoming war issues. .
"It will take two or three hours to get to that place. We'd better eat some dry food to fill our stomachs first, so as not to be unable to eat due to nervousness when we get there," Gundam also said after Gao Li.
His tone was so funny that Lu Yunyou couldn't help but think that it would be a very happy thing to be able to perform escort missions with his two brothers. Unfortunately, it was also unsafe to perform escort missions. Thinking like this in his heart, he felt that for his current life, he I don't even know how to evaluate it.
Along the way, many soldiers wore worn-out shoes and wore their feet to pieces, but no one would stop unless they had to. Now that they were deep in the valley, the road under their feet became increasingly difficult to walk. Fortunately, the battle was about to begin, and they no longer had to worry about it. These negative factors create negative emotions.
Successfully annihilating the Feng Army next is what every soldier wants, and the generals had clearly said before that the Feng Army in front brought food, grass, and baggage, which meant that as long as that Feng Army was eliminated, the food and clothing they needed would be available. Obtained, this is an important reason that urges them to rush to end the battle. Of course, for most star troops, being too eager for quick success may not be a good thing.
A few hours later, the Star Army finally arrived at the ambush location that the generals had discussed before. More than 30,000 Star Army troops were divided into two teams and hid behind the mountains on both sides of a canyon. Between the two mountains. A canyon is the only way for the Phoenix Army to go to Broken Wind City.
