I have a fortune book

Chapter 271 Lu Ding's decision is hidden
The smooth progress of the war and the speed of the attack did not exceed Zhou Bai's expectations.

After digesting the results of successive expansions in the past two years, the national strength and military strength of Daxia have been greatly strengthened. 16 main soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers, combined with the navy, what a power it is.

Not to mention just dealing with an uncle country, it is more than enough to attack an ordinary vassal country.

Although the Jiehao belt is dangerous, the continuous bloodletting for three years in Tongzhi has already allowed Xia Guo to figure out the details of the Jiehao belt.

With the cooperation of the Taoist regiment and the engineer battalion, they avoided the area where the Dingxi army was most heavily guarded and had the most military forts, and hardened a marching route.

There are no deep ravines, horses and thorns to block, and the efficiency of Xia's march has been greatly improved.

Under the imposing offensive of the newly formed [-] forbidden troops, those small fortresses still blocking the only way can at most delay a little and act as beacon towers.

According to the regulations of the Imperial Army of the Xia Kingdom, 1 people constitute a battalion head. There were originally five imperial troops with 5 troops, named Youyi, Tabai, Xuanfeng, Shengjie, and Breaking the Enemy.

Afterwards, Cangbei fought against the Kingdom of Jin, and after the victory, they obtained a stable development environment, so they reorganized and expanded their army on a large scale, adding 2 people.

These two forbidden troops were respectively given the designations of the former army's left battalion and the former army's right battalion by Zhou Bai. After the two battalions were newly established, they had one more training item than the other forbidden troops.

That is to take Dingxi Jiehao belt as the imaginary target, special training as soon as possible and effective attack methods, from across the ravine, stragglers marching suddenly, and various methods to capture the Jiehao military fort.

For example, in a normal small trench military fort, the biggest threats are bed crossbows and powerful crossbows. The front army will concentrate on archers and stormers to stare at the firepower point, and then directly climb to the city with hook cables.

Time is urgent, and they will organize assault soldiers above the Houtian level to attack the city forcefully.

The boundary trench belt, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, did not play its due role. It was only delayed for less than ten days, and with the navy controlling the ports along the river in advance, the Xia army's logistics were not in vain.

Dense warships, large and small fishing boats, across the Ningjiang River, transporting food and supplies.

Even in order to keep up with the progress of the front line, many uninfluential dragon beasts, fish monsters and other aquatic tribes in Luanjiao Gorge were driven by Xiaojing to help transport goods, and became a force for a while.

Three Realm Flood Dragons, in Chaotic Flood Gorge, can be said to be giants, and if Dragon Palace doesn't come forward to stop them, these aquariums have no way to appeal.

The bloodiest and most moving walking dragon in the history of Luanjiao Gorge, but it was done by this creeping scene Huajiao. No one in Luanjiao Gorge has ever been disturbed by the breath of real dragon blood.

The bloody scene of walking is vivid in my mind, my arms can't hold my thighs, even if I don't have dignity, I can handle it.

Of course, in order to prevent these aquariums from feeling resentful, it is not a waste of time to work without effort.

At the end of each delivery day, wages will be paid. There are cattle and sheep from the grasslands, spiritual fruits from Cangshan Mountain, Qi and blood pills for military use, etc. have begun to be popularized.

After half a month of delivering goods, many dragon beasts and fish monsters who were once hostile to the humans on the shore began to become friendly.

In particular, there are a few half-demons who formally became demon queens with the help of feeding, and Lifu's work began to become popular.

Some male miscellaneous dragons can even take a second job because the concentration of dragon blood in their bodies meets the requirements, reaching the level of producing dragon horses.

There are strong mares by the riverside, you can choose them, and there will be ten sheep after mating. After the Taipu Temple checks, they show signs of pregnancy, and they will also reward spiritual objects and qi and blood pills.

After the boundary moat was crossed, the Xia army's offensive was overwhelming, and there was no one to stop along the way.

The walls of ordinary military towns and passes are low, and under the strong attack of the left and right battalions of the former army, they can be broken overnight.

Even in the county seat, after the follow-up support of the Chinese army's siege equipment arrived, it could not survive a day.

In this kind of rapid combat operation, the garrison has already lived up to its name, usually just following behind the imperial army to receive prisoners and cities.

Of the [-] forbidden troops dispatched in this western expedition, Zhou Bai had [-] along his way, plus [-] guards, only the Po Enemy and Ta Bai armies were allocated to Zhou Yuan.

In order to prevent Lu Ding from evacuating the wealthy "Gyeonggi" area, Zhou Bai chose to cross the river and attack directly. This was something that no one in Dingxi had thought of after two years of stalemate.

Although you have landed in Xia Kingdom many times before, you have returned without success every time. In the eyes of Dingxi high-level officials, it is a waste of national power.

Why do you dare to conquest yourself this time, not afraid of being stopped by the river and losing face.Still wasting your efforts?
However, face slaps come too fast, and when you are blocked, you are accumulating experience.

The Xingyun boundary trench belt and the rear military town were lost too quickly, and the Dingxi soldiers stationed in Pinghe County were rushed back to defend Xingyun County.

This is also why, after entering the core area of ​​Xingyun County, that is, the area near the capital of Dingxi, the resistance of the Dingxi Army suddenly increased.

However, it was this method of demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall that caused the defense line of Pinghe County to collapse instantly, and Zhou Yuan was able to lead his army to rush forward and attack the core area of ​​Dingxi together with the main force of the Xia army.

But in the end, the surrounding defense circle of Xingyun City, the capital of the country, failed to survive for a month. On November [-]th of the third year of Tongzhi, the two Xia armies successfully joined forces under Xingyun City.

In fact, this time has been very long, enough to see that the Lu family, the first family in Dingxi, has deep roots in Dingxi, and it can also be seen that Lu Ding has indeed managed the lair very firmly.

The several acropolises of the national capital have all been heightened and reinforced. The walls are high and deep, and all kinds of defense facilities are complete. It can be said that the quality of the defense of each city is comparable to that of ordinary county towns.

If it weren't for the lack of military pawns and troops, the decline of the national fortune, and the instability of people's hearts, it might have been delayed even longer.

Outside Xingyun City, the "Million" Xia Army's battalion was tens of miles away.

Even after Xingyun City has been expanded several times, it is magnificent and majestic.

But under such siege by the Xia army, it still seemed a bit weak, after all, it was already an isolated city.

In the middle camp of the Xia army, all the expedition cores gathered and reported the current situation to Zhou Bai one by one.

However, the first to speak was not the general in the front row, but the young genius in the armor of the vice general.

The deputy general saluted respectfully, and then handed in a memorial: "Reporting to the Lord, Li Shuai, with the help of the navy, crossed the Ningjiang River and entered Yongquan County from the Dingdai border that was not covered by Jiehao. Xitai County, Pingwan The county has become our Great Xia territory, and it is only one step away from Yongquan County. Li Shuai asked the last general to tell the prince that he will strive to capture Yongquan County within half a month and cut off the land passage between Dingdai and Dingdai. .”

To be precise, there were three routes to the west this time, but Li Dingguo's route was the only one. Since there were no more than [-] soldiers and less than [-] military soldiers, they didn't expect to achieve any results.

At the very beginning, it was a feint attack, attracting the Dingxi Army from Yichuan, Daizhou, who rushed back to support them, but unexpectedly, they made some progress.

Zhou Bai raised his eyebrows, scanned the memorial, and mentioned a very important point, the Dingxi Army in Yichuan was indeed returning north.

However, except for the part of their forces left in the county, most of Yongquan County is under the garrison of ordinary county soldiers and local troops. When these Dingxi troops arrived in Yongquan County, they moved the treasury and moved the population.

Xitai and Pingwan counties are just a little poorer, and when faced with Li Dingguo crossing the river to attack, they will not fight at all.

"Do you suspect that Lu Ding has completely given up on Xingyun? Does this stop you from struggling?" Zhou Bai was a little surprised by Li Dingguo's judgment.

Lu Ding had just won Yichuan County and had a foothold in Daizhou. He hadn't had time to transfer domestic wealth.

According to some inside sources of Xuanyiwei, most of the wealth of Dingxi Kingdom is still in the treasury, and the elite population has not moved.

Is it decisive after judging the situation, or is there some secret?
General Zhou Bo pressed his heart deeply, and said to Li Dingguo, "Go back and tell your general, don't force it, just try to harass the Dingxi Army's population migration."

Then came the civil and military officials to report one after another. Most of the matters were transferred to the cabinet for disposal, but there were still some important matters that Zhou Bai needed to make a quick decision.

"Your Majesty, the remaining four counties in Pinghe County that have not been attacked have surrender forms, and we just need to send someone to receive them." Zhou Yuan said calmly, without the slightest arrogance of having just made a great contribution.

In his opinion, the attack on Dingxi this time is all about taking advantage of the general situation of the country to suppress people, and it is not worth bragging about in itself.

"But, according to the previous recruitment plan, the county magistrate will appoint Luoyan, and the rest of the county officials will begin to station in Pinghe County. The remaining troops must cooperate. They have the vigor to kill local snakes in the early stage." Zhou Bai nodded slightly.

Luo Yan was the first Secretary Lang, and he belonged to the civil servant lineage cultivated by Zhou Bai himself. After the past few years, he has finally set foot in a high position at the county level.

The sheriff of Pinghe County was not appointed, so it was reserved for Luo Yan. Zhou Bai will be promoted next time, and he will be promoted naturally.

There is no party outside the party, imperial thinking, no faction inside the party, all kinds of strange things.

All great men have quoted this sentence, Zhou Bai naturally would not think that Da Xia would be an exception, but he can support his own faction.

A military commander handed over the memorial: "Your Majesty, the Jin Kingdom's army of [-] cavalry gathered on the Cangbei Grassland, trying to attack the border of Cangbei County and force all the tribes in the grassland to surrender. General Polu led ten thousand cavalry to fight. With full support, the warlords will take over the grassland tribes, and now apply to the imperial court for military assistance."

"Yes, transfer it to the cabinet." Zhou Bai ordered lightly.

He didn't feel offended by Jiao Tu and Huo Feiguang's dispatch of troops. This was a secret order he had issued a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have sent the Demon Subduing Army to help out.

"There are currently three county magistrates in Xingyun County, and eight powerful families have the intention to seek refuge. Please make a decision."

"The Lu family's roots are deep enough, there are only a few of them? But if you want to seek refuge at this time, let them show some sincerity first."

……

The office meeting of the small imperial court is over, and the main event has just come.

Seeing Zhou Bai looking over, Lou Jinpeng immediately came out and reported back: "Your Majesty, there are currently more than 5000 defenders in Xingyun City, but the soldiers suffered heavy losses before, and there should be no more than [-] people who have achieved a small body training."

"It's just that Lu Ding has been in business for a long time, and the majority of people in the city are determined to stick to it. I am afraid that the next one will be a protracted war."

Zhou Yuan also added: "The people in charge of the overall situation in the city are the Prime Minister Weng Kang'an, and Lu Ding's eldest brother, Captain Lu Zhong. These two are the most loyal and cannot be persuaded to surrender."

"It is estimated that the food in the city can be used by the whole city in March..."

With Lu Ding's center of gravity moving southward, Dingxi as a whole has no power to resist.

However, it is not a day's work to attack an important town in the capital. Lu Ding has been acting against the will recently, but he has never been less than Yourong to the families and people in the capital.

"Guyi." After a moment of silence, Zhou Baifang spoke out.

However, the generals below looked solemn, bowing their heads and obeying orders.

"Zhou Yuan is in charge of the siege, and no one in the city is allowed to escape."

"Lou Jinpeng led Tabai, defeated the enemy and [-] garrison troops, and set off south today to defeat the King Qin's army. Then he pointed directly at Yongquan to prevent Lu Ding from continuing to move his population and wealth."

"Generals Zhou Ping and Huang Jing led their ministries to sweep Xingyun County and suppress all injustices..."

Accompanied by a burst of unison, the huge military tent was instantly empty, and Li Yuan appeared quietly at the right time.

"Your Majesty, the Dingxi Taoist officials who went out to investigate the city have all been blocked back into the city. Your intention has also been transferred to them. Now you can still keep your cultivation and get a certain amount of Taoist staff if you surrender."

Seeing Zhou Bai staring blankly at the map, Li Yuan seemed a little worried, and couldn't help but said: "My subordinates see that the luck in the city is falling every moment, and there is no chance of turning around. You will soon unify Dingzhou, why worry about it?" There is."

But as he talked, Li Yuan felt that his situation was small, and he couldn't help but had a flash of inspiration: "Aren't you worried about changes in the sky?"

Zhou Bai nodded slightly and said, "That's right, the road to fighting for the dragon is hard to follow."

"Go and check now to see if the big sect knows the inside story, don't they often talk about the ancestor of the heavenly court?"

……

Three days later, Zhou Baiduan sat in the tent, feeling a little uneasy, and immediately decided to deduce it.

[Origin points: [-]] (Dragon dragon comes out of the abyss, reveals fangs, and dragon elephant transforms into dragon, you gain the attention of human will, add [-] points of origin; you establish the Xia Kingdom, rank among the princes, add [-] points of origin. )
One dragon turned into a jiao, and the other ranked among the princes, a total of five hundred points were added.

The fate of the country has increased, the Yang God has achieved success, and the soul realm has also broken through to the perfection of the spiritual void.

After gradually mastering the power of Qi Luck, Zhou Bai has rarely used his origin points to improve his skills and skills.

Inference!

The book of luck flipped naturally, and it was getting faster and faster, as if encountering some big problem.

In view of this, Zhou Bai didn't dare to think about the big secrets such as blood rain, thousand meteors, and broken luck in his heart. He chose to deduce the reason for the increase in calamity in the world.

The infinite darkness of the star sea universe appears, the huge fairy boat and the battleship of Qingxu attack each other, followed by the battle scenes of small planes, ups and downs, each wins and loses...

Fifty, two hundred, and suddenly three hundred points were directly cut off, a voice appeared in Zhou Bai's mind, his soul trembled, and the book of luck suddenly stopped turning the pages.

The derivation ceases, but the remnants of the sentence still reverberate.

"The world of Qingxu is moving... The will of the world will not let the world be destroyed... With my body, it is worth it for you to be a heavenly emperor..."

Zhou Bai was shocked, and went to the Ningjiang Dragon Palace in person, looking for the Ningjiang Dragon King to try it out.

"Which Heavenly Emperor has an accident?" The words of the meeting were so shocking that the Dragon King was speechless.
