The reason why Haiyun State sent these small teams to investigate the Jinlong State in the north was because they felt that the Jinlong State was fighting against the Jienan State in the west and had no energy or troops to guard the southern border.
With this understanding, they wanted to tear up the peace treaty signed with Jinlongbang and expand their territory while Jinlongbang had no time to travel south.
They also received an invitation from Tunyun State to the west, preparing to launch an attack on Jinlong State at the same time and encroaching on the southern grassland of Jinlong State.
After receiving the report from the border team, Marshal E Zhong of Nanding City of Jinlong State immediately ordered the border defense team to be on tight guard and pay careful attention to these Haiyun State soldiers who were scurrying into the country.
If these Haiyun State soldiers are discovered, they will be surrounded and annihilated immediately, but be sure not to enter Haiyun State.
If the Haiyunbang soldiers fled back on their own, there would be no need to pursue them.
At the same time, Hubei reported the news to Lord Jinlong and General Manager Jin Tu.
Jinlong received the message from Hubei and immediately discussed countermeasures with Kamishi's chief assistant.
Kamishi said: "This kind of situation often happens between states. Our team just needs to pay more attention. If there are soldiers from Haiyun State who really enter our territory, just quietly encircle and eliminate them without making any announcement. Now, We pretend we don’t know, and we don’t need to notify Haiyun State to protest. Since they have this idea, let’s just pretend to be confused! With this kind of thing happening between states, issuing a notice to protest can only be regarded as an act of the weak!”
"Okay, I'll do it as you want. Ask Ezhong and Crocodile to urge the border defense team to strictly guard. Anyone who sneaks into our Jinlong State will be surrounded and killed. No one will be left alive!" Jinlong said.
"Yes. I will send a message to them immediately." Kamishi said firmly.
Jintu received the message from Hubei and said with a smile: "Is the leader of Haiyun State a snapping turtle? I remember that when they signed the agreement with us, they agreed on mutual non-aggression. Does he want to What about breaking the agreement?"
Crocodile Death said: "Judging from what they are doing now, they probably want to tear up the agreement."
"Hahaha, they should have torn up the agreement earlier, but it's too late now. The civil war in Jinshan State is over. Although we still have some difficulties, we are much better than before. The 50,000 troops we have here are not just decorations. He Haihai I'm afraid Yun Bang is thinking too much in wanting to bully Nanding City. I have already informed you of the Divine Crocodile Tribe that Crocodile Land and Crocodile Ren will soon form two legions to reach the southern border. I think they are not only there for tourism. Let’s play?”
"Hahaha! Brother Jintu, with you in our Jinlong State, it will definitely be impossible for Haiyun State to take advantage of you." Crocodile said with a smile.
"You can't say that. Having you and Ezhong on the grassland in the south of Jinlong State is the key. I'm just the icing on the cake, helping everyone come up with ideas!" Jin Tu said.
After a pause, Jintu continued: "My feeling is that Haiyun State is not the key, but Tunyun State to the south is. According to recent intelligence, Tunyun State has stationed a large army on our southwest border and is almost ready. In order to prepare for the attack, this is our biggest enemy. However, if Tunyun State really comes to attack, I would like to cede their northern territory to Jinshan State and separate the southern border of Jinshan State and the southern border of our Jinlong State. The same level. In this way, in the future, they will not often think of cutting us off to make our southern border the same as that of Jinshan State."
"Yes, our territory is more than 500 miles from the boundary river to the southern border, while Jinshan State's territory is only more than 400 miles from the boundary river to the southern border. Our border is more than 100 miles to the south. That's it. The reason they’ve been trying to occupy it for years,” said Gonggui.
"If Nanzheng City wasn't here, they might have occupied it long ago!" Jin Tu said.
"Yes, I have been guarding here for many years, and I know this very well." Crocodile Death said.
"If they take the initiative to attack, we will join forces with Xiongren and Jinmu to advance southward and see who is faster!" Jintu said.
"Now, the Western Expedition Army has recruited more than 30,000 soldiers who took the initiative to join the Jinshan State, and has formed a scale of 100,000 soldiers. Coupled with the more than 50,000 soldiers here, Tunyun State will definitely be troubled if it wants to take the initiative to attack. There is no benefit. But we must pay attention here, because after all, our position is more than a hundred miles ahead and is their primary attack target." Crocodile said.
"Yes, we are under great pressure and we do need special attention!" Jin Tu nodded.
After Marshal Crocodile and Crocodile Duo occupied four key points in the north, they quickly stabilized the northern areas of Shen State and Jinshan State. However, the western armies led by Huangshan and Xiong Li failed to quickly stabilize the western part of Jinshan State.
The western part of Jinshan State is vast, extending all the way to the northwest forest. Although the total number of living creatures is not large, several large families are very powerful and will not bow to any force easily.
When the Western Army patrol arrived, two families clashed with the patrol.
One of these two families is the yak family and the other is the elk family.
They organized 40,000 to 50,000 tribesmen respectively and wanted to confront the western army. However, because the tribesmen did not move fast enough, the Yak family was divided and surrounded by the western army. In the end, they had to bow their heads and surrender.
However, the Elk Family brought a lot of trouble to the Western Army, which forced the Western Army to station and deal with it specifically.
After nearly three days of back-and-forth battles and interceptions, the elk family saw that their tribesmen suffered too many casualties and could no longer fight, so they fled into the forest to the northwest with their tribesmen. However, from the beginning to the end, Weidu did not surrender to the western army of Jinshan State.
After three days of hard work and fighting, the soldiers of the Western Army were exhausted and had to stay down for repairs.
Therefore, the western army, which originally planned to end its patrol in the west in five or six days and then march towards the southern border, was still in the west near the forest ten days later, still more than 300 miles away from the southern border.
"Hahaha, this western region is really beyond our expectations. Although the number of creatures is not very large, there is no weakling in the battle. Every family cannot be underestimated!" Huang Long said with a smile.
"Yes, it's beyond my expectations. I never thought that we could encounter such tenacious resistance here. There are really people outside the mountains!" Jinshan also sighed.
"It has been eleven days, and we have only advanced more than a hundred miles, and we are still more than three hundred miles away from the southern border. This is really something we did not expect!" Guishan said with a sigh.
"Perhaps our decision was wrong. We should not conduct such a patrol and should proceed directly to the southern border. Our patrol is tight and hasty, which will arouse the resentment of some big families. The west is vast and there are not many living creatures. We only need to issue an order from the leader to stabilize this place. Even if some big families with ideas want to object, there will be a process. We are too impatient when we patrol, and we underestimate the power of the families in the west. Okay La, let’s adjust in time now. Jinshan, you send a message to Huangshan and ask him to command the western army to advance directly to the southern border and stop patrolling the west. Guishan, you send a message to Xi Gang and ask him to march to Jinshan in the name of the king. The whole state has issued a security order for Jinshan State, mobilizing all forces to maintain the security and stability of Jinshan State and prohibit instability. Okay, let’s fly south quickly so that we can understand the situation on the southern border as early as possible.” Huang Ling said.
Jinshan and Guishan transmitted their voices separately, and then Jinshan violently flapped his wings and flew south quickly.
At this time, Jinmu and Xiongren had already organized more than 30,000 soldiers who had just announced to join Jinshan State into the Western Expedition Army in accordance with Huang Ling's request, and divided them into two parts to go to the southern border of Jinshan State.
However, even though Jinshan State had such defensive preparations, Xishan State, located to the southwest of Jinshan State, took the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack on Jinshan State.
The senior officials of Xishan State generally believe that just after the death of Jienan State and the establishment of Jinshan State, it was the time when they were at their weakest. Attacking Jinshan State at this time will put strong pressure on Jinshan State, which will definitely make the newly established Jinshan State compromise and provide a lot of benefits.
They organized five legions from within the state, totaling more than 50,000 soldiers, and divided them into east and west armies to attack Jinshan State.
Among them, the West Route Army consists of more than 20,000 soldiers. Their mission is to enter Jinshan State along the edge of the western forest and occupy the western area of Jinshan State.
The Eastern Route Army consisted of more than 30,000 soldiers. They were the main force of this attack. Their purpose was to find Jinshan State's troops for encirclement and annihilation, forcing Jinshan State to compromise and agree to cede the western region to Xishan State.
Since the western army led by Huangshan failed to reach the southern border in time, the Western Route Army of Xishan State easily entered the western region of Jinshan State and smoothly advanced northward.
However, the Eastern Route Army of Xishan State encountered the team led by Jin Mu, and the two teams fought fiercely in the border area.
Although the two armies encountered an emergency and suddenly fought, the team led by Jin Mu had two advantages, causing the Xishan State's East Route Army to be defeated. After losing the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers, they retreated to the territory of Xishan State.
The team led by Jin Mu has more than 50,000 soldiers, which is almost more than the 20,000 soldiers of Xishan Bangdong Route Army. It is naturally at an advantage in terms of combat effectiveness.
Secondly, the more than 10,000 soldiers who had just joined Jinmu's team were originally from the Jie Nan State garrison stationed at the border. Not only were they very familiar with the topography of the border, but they also hated the Xishan State troops who came to attack. Therefore, they took the initiative to ask for a flank attack on the Xishan Bang team. As a result, they dealt a heavy blow to the Xishan Bang team from the left flank, causing the Xishan Bang team's front line to collapse and they began to flee.
These two advantages enabled Jinshanbang to succeed in the first battle.
However, the senior officials of Xishan State believed that their team had won one victory and lost one, and had not failed, and that there was still a possibility of victory, so they once again added 20,000 soldiers to the East Route Army, bringing the number of soldiers to the East Route Army. More than 40,000 people.
This made the commanders of the Xishan State's East Route Army even more happy, and they immediately decided to strike while the iron was hot and take advantage of the anger of the soldiers to launch another attack.
