As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Ruan Qiling already knew a lot about the past achievements of the Star Army. From the Battle of Yanguan to the capture of Feng Kingdom, the Star Army had almost no defeat. All subsequent battles, large and small, were complete victories. The winning streak naturally makes the morale of the Star Army extremely high.
Although the Star Army was small in number, it was far superior to them in terms of momentum. In Ruan Qiling's view, the Yi Army was indeed very strong in military appearance, but if compared with the Star Army in the same number, it could only be regarded as strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
However, even if he cannot be said to be completely confident about starting a war with the Star Army, he is still not afraid of the Star Army. Along the way, the attitude of the people of the former Feng Kingdom also made him understand that those people did not fully accept the rule of the Star Kingdom.
Perhaps when the Yi Army and the Star Army are truly differentiated, those people will make a choice. In short, it is not difficult for him to win over some local forces now, but it is also difficult to instigate those forces that have decided to attach themselves to the Star State.
This time Yi Kingdom mobilized nearly 300,000 troops, but the Star Army currently has very few troops left in Feng Kingdom due to the deployment of troops to aid Qing Kingdom. The huge gap in numbers makes Ruan Qiling not intend to rely on Feng Kingdom's power. And according to the information reported by the spies, he already knew that the current commander of the Star Army, Lan Wu, was not in the army.
Judging from the recent situation of the two Star Kingdoms starting a war at the same time, Ruan Qiling has concluded that Lan Wu may not participate when the two sides start a war.
Since the Star Army captured Broken Wind City, Lan Wu's reputation has been known to everyone around Feng Kingdom. When it comes to Lan Wu, even the leader of a country will be a little afraid.
To conquer a country in three months, such an impressive achievement is unbelievable. All in all, Lan Wu's absence in Feng Country gave Ruan Qiling a little more confidence. Of course, the situation when the two sides go to war will not be known until before the war.
The wing army continued to advance. Over at the Star Army camp, Lan Xu arranged for a star army to set off early in the morning. The three armies had not moved, and the food and grass troops went first. The first to set off was naturally the food and grass team. The entire food and grass team was longer than the subsequent marching team. Knowing how long the war between the two countries will last, in terms of materials, the Star Army is currently in sufficient supply.
The early capture of Feng Country ensured this. Temporary supplies were not an issue that the Star Army needed to consider. On the contrary, the Yi Army who came from afar had to deal with this issue. This was also an aspect in which the Star Army was superior to the Yi Army.
Time passed very quickly, and the morning passed in the blink of an eye. After discussion, the right minister had full authority to take over all matters in the city.
It is worth mentioning that before leaving, Lan Jing deliberately left an army of 20,000 people to guard Pofeng City. The rest of the personnel rushed to Wufeng City, two hundred miles east of Pofeng City. The Star Army was about to attack Pofeng City. There they met the Yi army.
After the two armies left one after another, the right minister of the Star Kingdom directly issued a notice to recruit troops in the former Feng Kingdom. Anyone who is over 18 years old and has reached the second level of the martial arts realm can come to join the army. Now it is a voluntary form of recruitment. , you may not be able to recruit people, but you must ensure that the people you recruit are willing to serve the Star Kingdom.
It may be that Xingguo's policy of benevolent government in Fengguo has played a role. The right prime minister's recruitment did not fall into an embarrassing situation. Many people still came to join the army. Those who joined the army had one thing in common. They had been there before. They have received some favors from the Star Army, and many are prisoners released by the Star Army in the past. Of course, the most are desperate civilians.
The reason those people joined the army was that although the Feng Kingdom was dead, the Star Kingdom had not done anything harmful to them. They wanted to follow a wise commander like Lan Wu.
In addition, many people performed well during the previous martial arts competitions, all of which benefited from their training in the army. Those people are examples that recruits want to follow. Unfortunately, there are not many people who join the army. The people in Pofeng City are After learning about Yi Jun's arrival, many people still planned to watch the situation. After all, Yi Jun was in the name of conquering the Star Army for the Feng Kingdom, and they could not act traitorously.
A few days later, when the right minister of the Star Kingdom was busy recruiting troops and meeting with important figures from various places, the two armies arrived at Wufeng City. Just like the original Aolan Pass, Wufeng City was originally a barrier to the east of Feng Kingdom, with high altitudes on all sides. Walls have the remarkable characteristic of being easy to defend but difficult to attack.
After knowing the characteristics of Windless City, many star troops were glad that they did not need to attack an impregnable city like Windless City before, otherwise the war between the two countries would not end so quickly.
During the march, Lu Yunyou often listened to people around him discussing the upcoming war. According to those people, they could not make any conclusions about Yi Jun's combat power before seeing it, but they could not think too highly of Yi Jun. .
The military appearance of the Star Army was truly powerful. Even though they knew that the number of enemy troops was far greater than theirs, none of them showed any fear on their faces. Instead, they showed an attitude of looking forward to a battle with the Yi Army. They often stayed with those people. , Lu Yunyou himself was looking forward to the next war, and that feeling was very strange.
During their march, the Star Kingdom's courier drove quickly through the night, rushing from Broken Wind City to Star Capital, changing horses several times along the way before crossing the border to Star Kingdom a day later, but it would take another day to spread the news. When arriving in Kyoto, it would take some time for the monarch of the Star Kingdom to receive the news and then issue the imperial edict.
During this period, a battle between the Yi Army and the Star Army is inevitable. The current situation of the Star Kingdom is not much better. They have just defeated the Tianyu Kingdom, and two more countries are invading from the west. Those two countries are still Feng Luo Tian. The great powers came to conquer the Star Kingdom.
The two countries combined have a total of 300,000 troops. The leader of the troops is someone personally sent by the Luotian Kingdom. Lan Ce, the leader of the Star Kingdom, has previously sent a message to the neighboring Ziyun Kingdom asking for help.
The war with Tianyu Kingdom has just ended, and the western part of Star Kingdom can be said to be in ruins. It is undoubtedly a huge challenge for them to block the coalition forces of the two countries. However, since Star Kingdom and the other four countries have chosen to resist, then at the beginning They naturally considered that they would encounter this situation, but it just happened too quickly.
The western border needs military support, and the Yi Army is invading the east. The Star Kingdom has also divided its troops to help the Qing Kingdom. The overall situation is very bad, but there is only Lan Wu, an outstanding commander. After receiving the news, Lan Ce has many issues to consider. .
In addition, before the war begins, it is crucial that there is no suitable candidate to be the commander-in-chief. Whether the Star Kingdom can successfully resolve the current crisis will determine its future destiny, which cannot be explained in two or three sentences.
When the Yi army invaded, war broke out throughout the Central Region. Under the suppression of several major powers, many medium and large countries chose to resist and even united to form an alliance, which greatly hindered the continued expansion of the territory of the five major powers.
The overall strength of those medium and large countries after the alliance cannot be underestimated. In order to prevent the alliance's power from continuing to expand, the five major countries can only put more forceful pressure on the scattered small countries around them, forcing many small countries to submit to them as soon as possible.
As the war situation intensified, it also gave rise to many changes, among which the emergence of the "system of seizing generals" was the most eye-catching.
Thousands of years ago, the Sword Emperor Jian Feixian created the system of seizing generals. There were three general titles: wolf general, tiger general, and dragon general, but the post of general was abolished.
In Jian Feixian's time, three victories could lead to the title of Wolf General, ten victories could lead to the title of Tiger General, and one hundred victories could lead to the title of Dragon General. The dragon would be the first among the three generals. Their number was as rare as the commander-in-chief. Each dragon general was capable. For candidates for the position of acting commander, there is a huge gap in ability between the three generals. The process of reaching the dragon general is naturally not easy. Now the emergence of the general-capture system will make the war more cruel.
As the name suggests, "Capture General System" means capturing the general's position. If an ordinary general defeats or kills a wolf general, he can obtain the opponent's title and thus obtain the corresponding reputation. Based on this reasoning, if an ordinary general defeats or kills a wolf general, If he can defeat a tiger general, he can obtain the title and reputation of a tiger general. For many new generals, the system of winning generals is the fastest way for them to gain honor and promotion.
Of course, the position of the dragon general cannot be determined by one battle. There is another clear criterion for reaching the dragon general, and that is the number of enemies killed.
The number of enemies killed is also a measure of a general's ability, and it is also a reflection of a general's prestige. Now, after a thousand years, the reappearance of the system of seizing generals will definitely make this unprecedented battle more intense, and it is also destined to leave many people's names forever. opportunity, of course, in the process more people will become the dust of history.
All in all, in troubled times, war is inevitable. From now on, every general will be controlled by the general system, and the general system will inevitably connect the entire Central Region together.
Putting aside these trivial matters, plus the Star Army personnel previously stationed in Windless City, there are currently a total of 120,000 Star Army personnel stationed in the city. Since the number of people is not too large, it naturally does not appear crowded.
After arriving at Wufeng City, Lan Jing directly issued an order. During the battle against the Yi Army, no one was allowed to leave their post without permission and enter and leave the military camp at will. Otherwise, if discovered, all would be dealt with strictly.
With the clear implementation of those military regulations, the Star Army became more orderly. When some generals assigned camps to Lu Yunyou and the others, Lan Jing and others immediately met with the city lord of Wufeng City, just to get to know Wufeng City. And some information about the Yi Army.
Ling Feiye, the lord of Wufeng City, is the elder of the Ling family, the largest family in the city. It is natural that he should be responsible for receiving Lan Jing and assisting the army in fighting.
After that, the 120,000 Star Army troops gathered together. As the lord of a city, even if Ling Feiye was unwilling to fully assist Lan Jing, he still had to show his willingness to actively cooperate. Otherwise, if the Star Army executives were offended, the Star Army would It would be easy to exterminate their entire Ling family.
There are less than 200,000 civilians in Wufeng City, half of whom are not martial arts cultivators, so the Star Army does not need to worry about threats from within the city.
