Chapter 219 Winning more with less will determine the overall situation
Menjuguan is the southern gateway to Biancheng County. Its strategic position is very important and cannot be missed.

Similarly, for Lu Ding, who aspires to unify Dingxi and leave no trouble behind, the door must be in his hands.

With the strategic center of gravity moving southward and without preparing enough food resources, it is impossible to send troops northward at will. Lu Ding chose to use a more covert method to control the door.

For example, promises to the county magnates in Menju County, secretly aiding food, or buying military officers at all levels in Menjuguan with a lot of money, planting secrets, and so on.

On the surface, it is controlled by the Ning family and the Wang family, but in fact it has already been infiltrated by the forces of the Lu family.

Jiao Tu's thunderous tactics in Menju County did not make Zhou Bai feel that he was too cruel and bloody. Instead, he sent an order to reward him and let him have an overview of the southern affairs of Biancheng County.

Because Zhou Bai gave these independent leading generals the right to act cheaply in private, Jiao Tu just obeyed the military order and completed the mission goal.

According to the battle report, if the strength of the Anbei Army had not exceeded the expectations of the Menju defenders, and the surprise attack was successful, they might really have to guard the city and delay it for some time.

The infiltration is too serious, and if a few families are not slaughtered, it really makes them think that the Anbei Army is a benevolent savior.

Instead of waiting for the dust to settle before the purge, it is better to start in wartime.

On the first day they arrived in Longbei City, the Anbei Army launched a military offensive, but the first battle was not against Longbei City, but the warship base.

The location of the base is very suitable. It is located on a wide highland ten miles away from the west city. It is the most suitable area for camping. It is also very easy to build the base.

For this reason, Zhou Bai saw that the first soldier-class warship that could completely establish a development base looked like a condescending circular fortress from a distance.

The outer walls are made of special solidified substances carried by warships to harden the clay walls, so that the walls built in a short period of time are actually stronger than the walls of ordinary county towns.

Zhou Bai had seized part of this congealed substance, which was nothing more than cement, not a high-tech product.

After finding the limestone containing clay, the cement technology has now been completely mastered by the Tiangong Institute, and many villages to be built on the Baishazhou Plain will use cement.

Barracks, residential areas, material areas, production areas, and the core area is the warship hull. A small development base is planned in an orderly manner.

If it weren't for the city walls and many buildings inside, there were traces of being demolished and rebuilt several times, Zhou Bai doubted whether Longbei City was just sitting back and watching the rise of the base.

"Captain, the soldiers and horses in this city are really useless. A soldier-class battleship is actually standing still."

"If a general-class warship falls in Biancheng County, wouldn't it be completely fallen now?"

When the generals saw such a complete foreign base, they were inevitably a little angry, and they kept mocking Longbei City.

"Longbei City doesn't have the aura of Yin God power." Li Yuan appeared on the side at some point and explained in a low voice.

Zhou Bai glanced at Li Yuan, agreeing with the message: "When you first enter the Yin God Realm, you are indeed more sensitive to the power of the same level. There are really no three-realm real people in Longbei City."

The attendants were shocked when they heard what Zhou Bai said, and they still didn't understand what happened.

They all saluted and congratulated: "I have met Master Li, congratulations to Master Li for breaking through!"

The gold content of a real person is very high, even in the era of revival of aura, not to mention that Li Yuan is the first real person cultivated by Zhou Bai.

"All colleagues are happy together, thanks to the training of the governor and the governor's mansion." Li Yuan was keen-minded and did not show any joy.

"Come here just after breaking through?" Zhou Bai casually popped out a bottle of Guyuan Lingdan as a congratulatory gift.

But that's all, a real person born in a public family will not hold a real person ceremony with great fanfare.

Under Zhou Bai's command, monks also have corresponding privileges and status, but they are subject to many restrictions.

If the current Li Yuan and Chen Zhongbang were to compete for their status in Zhou Bai's heart, Chen Zhongbang must be higher.

Of course, Li Yuan would definitely not be so ignorant, he vaguely understood what kind of country Zhou Bai wanted to build, that is, the French Open was ruthless.

It may be a bit paranoid, but this trend is obvious in the Dudu Mansion to bring all supernatural beings under the jurisdiction of the king.

"Thank you for the reward from the governor. Madam is sitting in the governor's mansion. She and Chen Changshi are afraid that you will not bring enough people, so they specially sent me to serve in the army." Li Yuan took the elixir, his eyes flashed with joy, and he replied respectfully.

The spiritual objects rewarded by the governor are all treasures, either from the cave or from the heaven.

Li Yuan called Mrs. Yu Yueyun, but Zhou Bai didn't refute. He, a green plum Taoist couple, has been sitting in the rear for a long time, maintaining internal stability, and has been unanimously recognized by the system.

Even Gao Hu, a general in the army, would respect Yu Yueyun by calling her mistress in private.

Then Li Yuan presented another dossier, in which Yu Yueyun sorted out the situation of the practice world in Biancheng County based on the records of the Wudingmen dossier.

It turns out that Biancheng County has been an extraordinary desert from the beginning to the end, with extremely low aura content. Not only has there been no practice sects, but there are even few records of real people appearing and disappearing.

The Daxu court usually requires real people to sit in every administrative county, but the aura situation in Biancheng County does not have real people willing to come.

When the imperial court was strong, it could forcefully appoint real people, but in recent decades, the highest-ranking Taoist officials in the county and city Taoist corps were the peak of the second realm.

"It's no wonder that even a soldier-level general has to rely on water to work hard. It turns out that it is not only because of the famine, but also because of the lack of high-level combat power." Zhou Bairuo thought.

However, he also understands that a Yin God's combat power cannot save the overall situation, and if the base is not wiped out, it must be that Longbei City has not done its best.

Under the detection of spiritual consciousness, the breath of the third-rank great minder inside the warship is like a candle that is about to burn out at any time, and it has reached its final limit.

"Destroy these outsiders first, and this city will be our camp." Zhou Bai waved his hand, signaling Lou Jinpeng to command the attack.

Even if the siege equipment is not assembled and the attack is rushed, the next battle will still be one-sided.
The warship base that has been largely consumed by Longbei City naturally cannot resist the suppression of the Anbei Army, and the captain of the Da Nian Division is only able to achieve the prestige of the new real person Li Yuan.

A small episode is that this battleship is actually a famous soldier-class battleship. The main gun has been repaired in advance to the state where it can be fired, and it has the ability to explode and self-destruct.

However, Zhou Bai, who was paying attention to the battle situation all the time, eliminated the danger of self-explosion in advance. Even the main cannon beam was forcibly deflected by him, pouring power into the air.

Unlike the other shots, this time Zhou Bai's power in the three realms could no longer be hidden.

At the head of Longbei City, the forces of Ningwang were silent for a long time.

"When has this man been in the third realm, and he can actually resist the main guns of warships? Heaven and man are so powerful?"

"Even for the top three who ascended to heaven, it's not such an exaggeration to enter the country."

Even the scheming Patriarch of the County Wang was too terrified to speak at this time.

Juncheng Zhu Weng said suddenly: "Two statues and three realms, everyone, think about it, the Taoist regiment of the county government and your offerings are not enough for them to fight."

He is a staunch descendant faction, and he believes that the land in the border town should not continue to die.

"There are no three realms in the Qingxu warship? The aura is revived, and the suppression of the extraordinary power by the military aura is stronger." Soon, a general retorted.

"Except for the frontier army, how much military spirit can the county soldiers gather? Three exercises in one month are no longer the level of an economically controlled army." Another civil servant took up the conversation.

"It's better to send troops while the foothold is not stable..."

Even though the Anbei Army was right in front of them, they still argued endlessly.

Half an hour later, Gao Hu had already led [-] subduing demon troops to attack Longbei City, but the city still hadn't made a decision to surrender.

"Longbei City has no reinforcements, and the remaining five counties have become the territory of the Anbei Dudufu."

"The governor of Anbei has an order to surrender within three days, and the treatment will be favorable. Those who want to join Lu Ding and stick to it will be the end of the Wu and Gu families!"

The big trumpet of the Volunteer Army rode horses to the top of the city and swaggered, shouting non-stop.

Not only that, but then hundreds of well-fed villagers shouted: "Border townsmen, don't be stubborn, there is no famine under the governor of Anbei, and see how well the people of Bei'an are doing. The family has distributed grain seeds , I need you to go home and help..."

All kinds of shouting and offensives directly shocked the hearts of the whole city, and rumors spread in the army.

"I don't know about the other three counties, but Menju County is indeed lost." Wang Yi, the Patriarch of the Wang family, turned pale and sent away a Taoist official who had just left.

It turned out that it was the Anbei Taoist official from Menjuguan who contacted them using the array set up by the Wang family.

"How is the frontier army resting?" Ning Cheng frowned and asked his generals.

The general immediately bowed and responded: "In the past few days since I came back, there have been big fish and big meat waiting for me, and my sons and daughters are full of energy."

When mentioning the frontier army, the eyes of several county tycoons lit up, and their spirits were obviously much lifted.

"The newly formed Longwei Army by the court has successively suppressed several anti-kings, and its core is the frontier army."

"The warlords have forgotten the prestige of the frontier army in the melee. They are not miscellaneous soldiers who are not prepared for battle."

Ning Cheng and Wang Yi listened to the discussion, looked at each other and nodded tacitly.

After all, Biancheng County belongs to Dingxi, and has long been intimidated by Lu's prestige, but now it is a bit unwilling to take refuge in a rising power in the same corner.

"No matter what, we have to weigh the strength of Anbei's army...Longbei Jiancheng has just received the grain of the summer harvest, so it's not just giving it."

On the afternoon of August 26, most of the destroyed warship bases had not yet been repaired, and the Anbei Army camp was unstable.

However, two thousand crouching demon troops came out of Longbei city and took the initiative to provoke.

Longbei City dispatched [-] frontier troops, with a strength advantage of more than two to one, to face the Fumo Army.

Another [-] county soldiers lined up behind them, as a countermeasure, in case Zhou Bai sent reinforcements.

On the high ground a few miles away, the generals accompanied Zhou Bai to watch the battle from a distance, and saw the [-] Xuanjia army formation, which looked very thin in front of the [-] frontier army and the rear county army.

In this situation, even the victorious general Anbei couldn't help but feel uneasy at this moment.

"Captain, 2000 people are not too few. If half of the [-] county soldiers join in, something may happen." The general of the guard said anxiously.

Zhou Bai shook his head and remained silent. After the Fumo Army left the sequence of the Governor's Mansion and was directly under the control of the General's Mansion, many generals of the Fumo Army had little contact with the Fumo Army.

Lou Jinpeng explained in a timely manner: "The meaning of the governor is to win more with less, to show absolute strength, and to let the grassroots in the city recognize the gap."

But immediately afterwards, he respectfully said to Zhou Bai: "Every battle must be prepared. No matter how much confidence the governor has in the Fumo Army, he must be prepared to fail."

"The battalion has its own militia for repairs. Please order the governor to gather the remaining cavalry and send another [-] government troops to raid the formation."

Zhou Bai looked to the other side of Longbei City, there were nearly [-] enemy cavalry hiding there, and it would not take a quarter of an hour to join the battlefield.

If the Voldemort Army had a slight decline, it is conceivable what would happen to the two thousand riders.

This is the border town that is only separated from the grassland by the Great Wall. There has never been a lack of war horses, and there has never been a shortage of good riders in the county.

Although the Anbei Army has never stopped the construction of cavalry, it has never substantially expanded its scale.

Chu Kai took two thousand to tour the three counties, and now there are only five hundred sentry horses left in the whole army.

"General Lou's words are reasonable, then you will lead the [-] government troops and [-] cavalry to raid the formation. It is up to you to decide whether to fight or retreat."

……

This fight really showed the tyranny of the frontier army. They cooperated with each other tacitly, and everyone was a veteran in the battlefield.

Words such as strict military discipline, well-trained, brave and fearless can all be used to describe the five thousand frontier troops.

Even in terms of battlefield experience, the two thousand crouching demon troops are not as good. In autumn and winter, these frontier troops even have to deal with the harassment from the north every day.

In the previous Jin Kingdom's southern invasion war, the key point was to break through the border town county, but it failed.

The confluence of wind and cloud, the scalding heat wave made the ground look like a frying pan, and all the frontier soldiers who appeared on the battlefield were sweating profusely.

But they didn't have any complaints, all they had was excitement and bloodthirsty frenzy, and they could feel the silent oppression from the Xuanjia army on the opposite side.

Excitement, besides excitement, is to win and defeat a strong army. This is what the frontier army likes to do most.

A trace of black military aura emanated from the top of each soldier's head, and then gathered in the sky, forming a sharp long knife faintly, full of power.

An exclamation sounded from the top of Longbei City, and it was the first time they saw the frontier army gathering their military spirit.

Some Longbei city generals even started to celebrate ahead of time. How could a frontier army with a strong desire to win lose if it had the upper hand.

Sure enough, the frontier army, who thought it had an advantage, took the initiative to advance, and the sound of neat steps shook the ground.

The phantom of the soldier's sword was almost on the necks of everyone in the Fumo Army.

However, after the first wave of collision, the top of Longbei City was suddenly silent.

The fiery red wave with a [-]% armor rate, holding a long knife, rushed into the "thin" black wall, but did not split any gaps.

In the first wave of active attack, the formation of the Xuanjia army was not disturbed, but the frontier army was smashed.

The battle-tested frontier soldiers are stunned, all of them are supernatural, all of them are warriors?

Hundreds of frontier soldiers were sent flying at the first time, and they were really sent flying. The first row of Fumo Army was all Houtian Realm, armed with hammers, bursting with strength.

Then Gao Hu charged forward on a white horse with his spear held horizontally, and the unpierced gun light smashed the blood of the forward of the frontier army.

"Every team listens to the order, strike the arrows!"

The counteroffensive begins.

Pixiu's phantom suddenly appeared, unreasonably piercing the fragile military sword.

Two thousand crouching demons rose from silence, moving like thunder, followed behind Gao Hu, smashing through the entire formation of the frontier army.

"Don't even think about choosing the one in the south..."

"Vote."

"The autumn is tall and the horse is fat, and the captives will come again. If the fight continues, there will be no one to guard the Great Wall."
