Heaven's Formula

There are also residents who want to report to the government in the city to receive the reward, but according to the normal process, the information has been handed over layer by layer, and it will take at least two or three days to reach the relevant people.

However, for this broken army, the superior only arranged a one-day trip!

This is the world's first "semi-mechanized" forced march. They need to cross 94 miles in one day, and form a pincer attack with Ning Wanjun's forced troops before the enemy completely flees.

94 miles, low-load marching, putting it in another world can be regarded as a routine training at best, and it can't reach the threshold of forced marching, but in the eyes of the Ganzhou Army, this is simply impossible.

Thanks to the usual adequate training and sufficient meat meals, the Jinxia Army not only outperformed the enemy in terms of military equipment, but even their personal physical fitness has widened the gap with the Dynasty Army.

Through the communication device, Xia Fan accurately captured the enemy's position, and took the lead in occupying favorable terrain, blocking the opponent's retreat.

As for the enemy generals directly choosing to surrender, it was not within the pre-plan, it can only be said that it saved everyone a lot of effort.

After reuniting with Ning Wanjun, the number of teams soared to about [-], and Xuanwu also expanded to about [-].The two teams reorganized into one at this moment, and then continued to advance towards the northeast!

This is the strategic plan finally formulated by the staff department after considering Xia Fan's suggestion - first eat the enemy troops at Wangshandu by double-teaming, and then attack Pingzhendu from the rear, completely defeating the Ganzhou army in one fell swoop!

Another night of marching.

High-sugar canned fruits and plenty of dried seafood barely supported the consumption of the soldiers. Although everyone felt exhausted, their physical strength seemed not to be exhausted at all, and they were still able to keep up with the large troops. pace of.

If such a marching plan is seen by any experienced general, he will only find it ridiculous-it is fast to rush day and night, but if all the physical strength and state are exhausted, how can there be the ability to deploy and fight next?In this case, even if they rushed to the battlefield, it would be nothing more than death.

If the Jinxia Army had swords and spears, it would indeed have caused this result.

But these four thousand combatants carried air rifles on their backs.

This is another advantage of firearms: it requires significantly less physical strength, and the army can go into battle at any time even after a rapid march.As long as the soldier has the strength to pull the trigger, the gun is still capable of killing.

It can be said that the movement of this army is due to the combination of various factors. Without any point, the idea of ​​"mobile warfare" cannot be implemented.

It is precisely because the entire Qiguo army does not have such conditions, so the battle plan seems ordinary, but it is a blind spot that no one expected.

At four o'clock the next day, large troops entered Pingzhendu.

The defenders at the ferry were in chaos—their situation was even more embarrassing than Wangshandu. They thought they were defending from danger, but when there were many enemies behind them, the situation suddenly reversed.Instead, they became the side that was squeezed on the river bank and had to fight with their backs.

Chi and Olina also rushed to the front line at this moment, and as the pontoon bridge was crushed into powder by two dragons, the battle officially started!

"Everyone, charge with me!"

Ning Wanjun rushed to the forefront without hesitation, and the red Suzaku was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into the Ganzhou army camp that was still in shock and chaos.

But this time, there was one more fox and one more person beside her.

Li Zai led Xia Fan forward, staring at the alchemist of the Privy Council who was in the main camp.

"Yes, it's the Nine Heavens Thunder Messenger!"

"Run!"

To his surprise, the enemy fighters fled without a fight after recognizing his identity, as if they had no intention of holding their ground at all.

"What's going on, am I so scary?" Xia Fan was stunned.

"I just magnified the fear in their hearts." Li De said proudly.

"Really? But I didn't even feel that you were performing a spell."

"It doesn't need to be used, it's more like a direct interference with Qi." Li shook his ears, "As long as others see me, it can have an effect naturally."

This is also the change in her natural ability that she realized after growing her second tail.

This technique does not directly create illusions, but indirectly affects the minds of people around them, amplifying their emotions—if the other party's mind is as calm as water, or their will is firm, it is equivalent to non-existence.But as long as there is a little negative emotion, the effect of reacting to action will multiply.

No need to cast, large-scale influence, it sounds like a halo or a field, Xia Fan secretly clicked his tongue, but considering Li's rapid progress in the shock technique, and the fact that electricity can also appear in the field, it sounds quite reasonable.

Without the presence of the alchemist, the Mechanism Beast would become an invulnerable existence.Ning Wanjun led a group of basalts to rampage in various camps. The wooden fence and Juma were almost shattered in the face of these biped monsters, let alone ordinary soldiers.

What's more deadly is that the crossbows, catapults, and artillery at this ferry were all aimed at the river bank, and there was not enough shooting range behind them. Even turning around and firing backwards became an extravagant hope.

Pingzhendu's defense collapsed faster than Wangshandu's.

The battle lasted only about two quarters of an hour, and the situation became overwhelming. A large number of Ganzhou troops could not retreat, and they were squeezed into the water by their own people like dumplings.And staying on the shore is not a good choice. Due to the open terrain, the soldiers by the river beach are no different from live targets, and they can be shot with their eyes closed.

In the face of such a disparity in strength, the defeat of the Ganzhou Army is hard to reverse.

Chapter 465 The One Who Cares

It was four days later that the second prince received the battle report from Ganzhou.

Surprisingly, it was not the Ganzhou Army itself that wrote the report, but He Shifeng, the commander of the Leizhou Army.

After reading the letter, he only felt his forehead throbbing.

The 5000 troops in Ganzhou were raided by the Jinxia army. Not only were they defeated, but not many escaped.

In other words, few people can explain clearly how the enemy fought and how they lost.

That's why the report had to be written by the Leizhou Army.

The Ganzhou garrison has completely lost its combat capability, Luo Bairen died in battle, the whereabouts of all the generals are unknown, and the entire army is gone.

Since the Leizhou Army has only 3000 people, most of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled, it is impossible to deter the Shenzhou area from the west.

Before the imperial court made a move, Ning Wanjun slapped him hard, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face for Ning Qianshi.

If you want to say how big the loss of more than 1 people is, it is nothing to the whole territory of Daqi.

But to say that you don't pay attention to it at all is to deceive yourself and others.

As a reserve force of the Leizhou frontier army, Ganzhou has always been well trained. The combat capability of the army cannot be said to be top-notch, but it is at a moderate level.What's more, it can also play a strategic role in restraining Jinxia's energy, and now it is gone, which is really hard for the Privy Council to accept.

At the end of the letter, it was also mentioned that some alchemists survived in Wangshandu, and now they are also sent to the front camp and handed over to the general government.

"Bring these people in." Ning Qianshi held back the indignation in his heart, put down the report and ordered.

"Yes!" His subordinates quickly dragged two heavily tied alchemists and threw them in front of the second prince.

As soon as he saw this posture, he fully understood that it was not luck that these two survived, but that they were deserters.

"Tell me about the situation at that time." Ning Qianshi asked coldly.

……

After listening to the statement patiently, the second prince almost wanted to drag the two of them down immediately and cut them down.

After a battle, they only knew that the Jinxia Army crossed the river by relying on ice, that the mechanism beast led the charge, and that the dragon and the listener fell from the sky.After Luo Aoying was beheaded and killed by Luo Qingnian, the two of them only cared about fleeing, taking the path back to Yecheng before stopping.As for why the two armies were completely wiped out, and there were not many defeated soldiers left, neither of them knew.

It is not surprising that the Ganzhou army was defeated. According to this statement, Ning Wanjun not only went out in person in this battle, but also used many high-level alchemists. It is very normal that the front line cannot withstand it.The only thing he couldn't understand was that if they were defeated, they were defeated, why they could be defeated so thoroughly that there were not even a few remnants left.

In theory, most of the soldiers in the army are natives of Ganzhou, so there is no reason for them to be wiped out by outsiders on their own territory, right?

"Your Highness, Your Highness...it's not good." At this moment, He'er suddenly ran out from the inner room, and when he saw the alchemist kneeling on the ground, he suddenly covered his mouth.

"Take them down and imprison them first." Ning Qianshi hesitated for a while, but in the end he couldn't kill the two of them. After all, they were all sensitive, and the power to kill a privy mansion was weaker.

"As ordered."

After the guards dragged him away, the second prince turned to look at He'er, "What happened?"

"I just used the chess game to calculate that the plan of the Ganzhou Army is quite risky-if the factor of the living dead serving the three princesses is taken into consideration, the Lichuan River will no longer be a natural barrier." She said seriously, "If Jinxia Decided to take the initiative to attack them, and the two river crossing points may be lost. Uh... Your Highness?"

Ning Qianshi came back to his senses, smiled a little bluntly, "Thank you, I understand."

He'er seemed to have realized something, "Has the thing...already happened?"

"That's right." He nodded, "but it's not your problem." After all, the layout and plan of the Ganzhou Army were delivered to him only recently. Actions have already been taken.

The deduction of the world chess game is not a one-shot deal. With the increase of intelligence and the changes of the situation of the enemy and the enemy, the deduction of this technique will gradually approach the real result.

"Your Highness..." He'er hesitated to speak.

"Let me see her." After a moment of silence, Ning Qianshi suddenly whispered.

The little girl lowered her eyes slowly, and grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, "I... know."

After a while, there seemed to be light shining from behind He'er, and when she spoke again, her voice became ethereal and graceful, "His Royal Highness——"

"Just call me by my name." Although Ning Qianshi stared at He'er, the focus fell on a place farther away.

"Thousands." Her tone seemed a little helpless, but she finally responded to his request, "This is not good. I am the one who should have left. Even if I live like this, it is just a remnant. I understand your Thoughts, but if things go on like this, it’s not an answer. It’s better for the Privy Council to select a new envoy as early as possible.”

"What's the difference between that and killing you?" Ning Qianshi shook his head, "I don't want to hear this."

"This is not to kill me, but to truly liberate me." The light gradually condensed into a human form, even though he couldn't see the face, he could piece together the gentle and moving appearance of the Tianshu envoy from the fluttering long hair and melodious voice.The light surged forward, as if reaching out to put a hand on the second prince's cheek, "You are looking for me at this time, it must be that the Privy Council has encountered some difficult problems, right? If this is the case, you should take away my power and experience. An envoy who has obtained a complete inheritance will definitely lead the Privy Council out of the predicament."

Ning Qianshi clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly, "If I could react at that time..."

"Are you thinking about what happened that day in Wanjing Tower again? It's useless, it was Yuyi's fatal blow, and only I can block it." She paused, "Listen up, thousands of generations, it is impossible to turn back time, instead of It’s better to look to the future than regret the past—you can’t change what happened, but you have the opportunity to reverse the changes that haven’t happened. Don’t forget what we are fighting for, as long as it can be achieved, I will be satisfied.”

Her voice became farther and farther away until it was barely audible.

The light disappeared, He'er collapsed, his face was covered with sweat, and his chest heaved violently with the sound of panting.

It was obvious that the actions just now had placed a great burden on her, and she had tried her best to persist for so long.

"Sorry." Ning Qianshi picked her up, turned around and put her on the soft bed aside, "You have a good rest, I won't ask for that again next time."

"No...Your Highness," He'er raised his head, "This is something I am willing to do. Are you... in better spirits now?"

"Thanks to you...it's much better," Ning Qianshi sighed softly, "Thank you." After speaking, he turned and left the room.

……

Half a quarter of an hour later, the second prince stepped into a mansion, and his eyes swept over the core members sitting quietly in the lobby.

Qian, Baizhan, Weihuang, Duyelong... Except for Kai Feinian, the backbone of the Gyeonggi Privy Council has all rushed to Huiyang City, Liuzhou.In addition, Fengguo and Qiguo also dispatched a green sword to support, and everyone in the hall represented the strongest force that the Privy Council could gather.

Chapter 466 The Swordsman's Countermeasure

Ning Qianshi took the lead and said, "Let me introduce first, these two green swords are old with me, and they have nothing to do with the Qixing Privy Council when they come to help this time, so they are my own."

"Yanyue, my heart is positive, I have met you all." One of the women nodded.She is about 25 or [-] years old, with long hair tied into a ponytail, wearing a dark green gown, and silk gloves on her hands, looking graceful.

"Ji Wuwang is good at the shock technique." The other person is more casual, he glanced at the crowd, and his eyes finally fell on Qian, "Let's say it first, I'm here to help, apart from returning His Highness Ning's favor, I mainly want to touch him." The alchemist he was talking about is also a shock. If I meet him by then, I hope everyone will give me a chance to make a move."

Gan did not respond to his gaze alone, but nodded frankly, "No matter what the reason is, the two of you can help each other, which is worth remembering by the Privy Council of Shangyuan."

"I think so too." Ning Qianshi spread out the map on the table, "Now that everyone is here, let me talk about the current situation first."

As the core members and high-level alchemists arrived in Liuzhou from Gyeonggi, the Privy Council already had basic offensive capabilities.At present, on the outskirts of the county seat nearest to the border of Shenzhou, the Liuzhou Army, the Jinzhou Army and the Suzhou Army have set up a company camp that spreads for ten miles. The total force exceeds 15, and it is still growing—in order to mobilize this coalition Now, the large and small ships on Jiujiang have never stopped, and almost all dock gangs and chambers of commerce have participated in the transportation, and it is expected that all dispatches will be completed by the end of April.

Gyeongju is a lot slower, mainly because the Tianshui River in the north goes all the way east, from Yazhou to the sea, and only one tributary enters Gyeongju, and the transportation efficiency is much lower than that of Jiujiang.Therefore, so far, only the local garrison in Gyeongju is ready to fight, with a total of 3000 people.The troops of You, Ling, and Ya states are still on their way.

As for Ganzhou... due to the annihilation of the local garrison, the flanking plan in the west has basically come to naught.The strength of the Leizhou army can only contain Jinxia's movements at most, and it is basically hopeless to rely on them to attack the city.

"Is it so easy to destroy them all?" Weihuang showed a surprised look, "The strength of the three princesses has reached such a level?"

"Don't forget the relationship between the evil technique." Bai Zhan said coldly, "The reason why taboo attracts countless people is because it can bring unimaginable power in a very short period of time."

"Is there any evidence that the Jinxia Qi-sensing people used evil spirits in the battle between the two places?" Gan asked.

"As far as I know, not yet." Ning Qianshi replied, "There are two main reasons why they won so easily. One is that the performance of the mechanism beast is much stronger than we expected, and it is far from what the Ministry of Industry has tested. Comparable. In a flat area, it has more impact than a war horse. The countermeasure given by He'er is to dig a large pit in advance, or create high and low obstacles to block the action of the mechanism beast, and then destroy it with the thunder."

"Mechanism beast?" Ji Wuwang raised his eyebrows, "What is that?"

"I will hand over the detailed information to the two of you later." Ning Qianshi continued, "The mechanism beast must be driven by people who sense energy, and even if Jinxia City gathers the power of the entire Shenzhou, it is impossible to gather so many people who sense energy." , so Ning Wanjun borrowed the power of a demon—and it is the demon of the West Pole."

These words made everyone's complexions much heavier.

In a sense, the crime of colluding with the West Pole monsters is greater than treason.After all, treason is an internal conflict, and wooing overseas monster clans is to condone the invasion of foreign enemies.

"What's the second point?" Qian Cai asked after a while.

"It's Jinxia City that has gathered a large number of top-notch combat forces, and has devoted itself to this battle at one go." Ning Qianshi told the information he had one by one, "Olina and the legendary real dragon, the listener Luo Qingqing, Demonic ghosts and ghosts possessing uncanny power, as well as a large number of living dead from the Fang family. On the other hand, the defenders were no more than a hundred blades, and they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and individual strength. It is not surprising that they lost so badly. By the way , my third younger sister, Ning Wanjun, also personally participated in this attack."

"You actually mobilized most of the main force to enter Ganzhou in one go, and didn't even care about your own capital?" Du Yelong frowned, "Although Her Royal Highness is an enemy, this momentum is worthy of admiration."

"It's mainly because of the ability to send messages from a long distance." Wei Huang said disapprovingly, "No matter where we are, we can immediately know the enemy situation in Shenzhou, and others would dare to take the lead. If we can find an opportunity to grab a message The device is ready."

"As long as we win a big battle, everything will be easy to talk about." Ning Qianshi raised his voice to draw everyone's attention, "Jin Xia relies on monsters and high-level Qi-sensing people, if they are allowed to come and go freely to attack the Privy Council troops , we can’t afford to lose. Instead of guessing which army Jinxia will attack, it is better to lure them into action, one Yuyi and three Qingjians, this collision will never make them retreat!"

"A sharp knife versus a sharp knife, I agree." Bai Zhan said with a blank expression.

"Looks like that's the only way to go." Gan Weiwei nodded—whether it's a demon or an alchemist, the layer at the top of the power is always a minority, and one loss means one less.Once the power of the upper echelon is tilted, if it is consumed, the Privy Council, which occupies the land of ten states, will definitely win.

"By the way, I want to ask, is Yu Linglong's story true?" Yu Yishi suddenly changed the topic.

This topic caused the atmosphere of the scene to stagnate slightly.

After Yan Qing defected, "betrayal" has become a very sensitive matter.

The core members of the Privy Council should have worked hard for the same goal, and there was not so much barrier between them, but since Xia Fan came to Shangyuan City, the situation seemed to be not quite right.

"Weihuang, tell me." Ning Qianshi looked at the woman in red. When Yu Linglong attacked Fei Nian, Weihuang and Duyelong had not yet left Shangyuan City. It is obviously more convincing for her to explain.

"I went to the scene to see that the black arrows left behind were indeed fired by Yu Linglong. It is impossible to fake it." Wei Huang said in a deep voice—those arrows are not wood or iron, they were created by the ability of shooting shadows, and it is absolutely impossible for outsiders imitation. "Fei Nian's injury is also consistent with what he explained. The two did fight."
