The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 576
Looking at the sky, lead clouds are densely covered, and the clouds are very low and thick.

The wind was blowing, and the treetops that had lost their leaves made a sound like howling ghosts and wolves, which was a bit creepy.

There were not many people to be seen on the streets of the capital, and the few people who walked by curled up, with their arms folded on their chests, and hurried past under the eaves on both sides.

The door panels of some open shops were rattled by the blowing.

The entire street was filled with desolation.

A group of war horses galloped across the street, heading towards Nan'anmen in the capital.

The dense and rapid sound of horseshoes made people feel even more chilling in the bleak cold wind. Passers-by who didn't know why were watching in horror as this group of soldiers galloped past as they flew away.

"Your Highness, it's going to snow now, so why do you have to see him off in person?"

Ji Biao, who was behind Jiang Chuan, galloped his horse and said loudly.

"Hmph, Ji Biao, do you think this king can't stand even a little wind and snow after staying in the greenhouse of the palace for a few days? I have high hopes for the First Army and the 47th Army to go to the southeast this time. It takes at least half a year, or even a year, to go out for an expedition. They can go out in this cold winter against the wind and snow, so why can't I, the lord, send them off?" Jiang Chuan said loudly while speeding.

"Your Highness, the last general doesn't mean that. If you want to go, you can take a carriage. Seeing that heavy snow is about to fall at any time, taking a carriage can at least shelter you from the wind and snow. You are Your Highness now, not a general who leads troops to fight , you have to pay attention to it."

Ji Biao said with an aggrieved face.

Today is the day when the First Army of the National Defense Forces and the Seventh Army of No.40 go to the southeast. The army has assembled outside Nan'anmen and is ready to go.

Jiang Chuan insisted on going to give the army a farewell party.

Ji Biao was afraid that his old boss Bai Mu would scold him if he didn't take good care of His Highness, so he persuaded him with an aggrieved face.

"Aren't you just afraid that Bai Mu will take care of you, kid? Don't you fear that this king will take care of you? I'm not that weak. If you talk to me again, boy, I'll let you be the leader."

With a snap, the whip in Jiang Chuan's hand suddenly exploded in the air, and the speed of the mount under his crotch accelerated a little.

Ji Biao didn't dare to say any more, so he had to keep his mouth shut, clamped his horse's belly, and followed closely.

Outside Nan'an Gate, the two troops had assembled and formed two huge phalanxes on a piece of wasteland.

Although dark clouds were pressing down on the city, heavy snow was about to come, and the banner of General Gale was blowing loudly, but the countless figures under the banner were still standing straight, and no one moved.

Among the two large phalanxes, the two red flags that read "First Army of the National Defense Force" and "National Defense Force No.40 Seventh Army" are like a stand out among many flags, and they are extremely conspicuous. Rolling and crackling.

Bai Mu, the commander of the First Army, and Chu Yunfei, the commander of the No.40 Seventh Army, waited in front of their respective phalanxes with a few officers, all looking in the direction of the Nan'an Gate.

Bai Mu suddenly moved his ears, raised his brows, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness is coming."

Sure enough, soon, a group of knights galloped here from the direction of the South Bank Gate.

The sound of the horse's hooves became louder and louder, all the people looked serious, their originally straight bodies straightened even more, and countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the direction of the sound of the horse's hoofs.

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and when they were approaching, the horse team suddenly stopped, hundreds of horses stopped at the same time, and the knights on the horses quickly got off their horses and strode towards the direction of the first army.

Seeing Jiang Chuan approaching, Bai Mu ran forward in a hurry, stood at attention and saluted, and shouted: "The First Army of the National Defense Army has assembled before going out, please give instructions, Your Highness."

Jiang Chuan stood still, looked at Bai Mu in front of him, earnestly returned a solemn military salute, and said loudly, "Please rest."

"Yes!"

"Relax!" Bai Mu turned and ran back to the First Army and ordered loudly.

"Shua!" The tens of thousands of people in the First Army all took a breather, their eyes fixed on Jiang Chuan who was coming.

Jiang Chuan strode to the front of the First Army's formation, his eyes slowly swept over every soldier he could see, and then roared with his loudest voice:

"Soldiers, today is the day you set out to exterminate Zheng Zhilong's gang. It is very windy today, and it will snow soon. But I know that you are all true steel warriors, and you are not afraid of swords and artillery fire, let alone wind, frost, rain and snow. You say, don't you?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" The three armies roared in unison, and the sound waves rolled, and even the raging wind seemed to be suppressed at this moment.

"Okay, I'm Jiang Chuan's soldier, and I'm a good man of the national defense army. I'm here to see you off today, and I'll tell you something by the way." Jiang Chuan roared.

All the soldiers listened intently.

"What this king wants to tell you is that even if you kill the enemy on the front line, whether it is ammunition, clothes, food, supplies, or even military doctors, this king will not let you be wronged. Your family will also be protected by the court , if someone dares to bully your family, this king will definitely make the decision for you. This king will never let my soldiers bleed and be sad, please rest assured on this point."

The people in front heard Jiang Chuan's words, and they passed them on to the back.

Not long after, the entire First Army knew about it.

Many soldiers raised their rifles excitedly and shouted "Long live, long live, long live!"

It was messy at the beginning, but then it gradually became orderly, converging into a huge wave of sound.

No one wants to go out to fight for the country by themselves, but when the blood and sweat are shed, the family members in the rear are wronged and oppressed.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan's words are more effective than any pre-war mobilization, especially the last sentence: "We will never let the soldiers bleed and be sad." It has poked the hearts of many people.

Some soldiers who showed their emotions even shed tears.

Of course, what Jiang Chuan said was mainly for the recruits.For those veterans of the direct line, there is no need to say much, as long as the direction pointed by the battle flag is the direction of their charge, even if they die, they will not regret it.

After finishing the pre-war mobilization, Bai Mu, the commander of the First Army, came to Jiang Chuan to salute, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the First Army of the National Defense Forces requests to go."

Jiang Chuan looked at him and said slowly: "Come back alive, I will wait for you here."

Bai Mu's eyes were sore, he nodded solemnly and said, "Bai Mu must come back alive to see His Highness."

Jiang Chuan took a step forward, patted him hard on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

Bai Mu saluted a solemn military salute vigorously, then turned to face the troops, and shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

The red flag of the First Army turned slowly, winding south with the billowing gray army formation under its flag.

Watching the first army go away, Jiang Chuan took a deep breath, got on his horse and headed towards No.40 Seventh Army's phalanx.
