From Dali to the south is Sichuan. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Dali State Jianchang Prefecture, which is now Xichang City, is nearly 500 kilometers away from Chengdu. In ancient times, this area was sparsely populated, with high mountains and dense forests, so it was impossible to station border guards. Novels.

The Nanzhao barbarians lived in the vast mountains in the southwest since childhood. They were used to fighting in the mountains and crossed the forests as if they were casually. After entering the borders of the Chinese Empire, they kept marching in the mountains and forests, avoiding the sight of the flying sword scouts and heading straight to the city of Chengdu. Then they caught the defenders off guard.

After capturing Chengdu Prefecture, the Nanzhao army was busy arresting the people everywhere to refine Gu, and the pace of advance gradually slowed down. Otherwise, Yuzhou City, not far from Chengdu Prefecture, might not be able to wait for Chang'an reinforcements, and they would probably follow in the footsteps of Chengdu Prefecture.

The Nanzhao Army stationed in Chengdu Prefecture, which seemed to be a waste of opportunity for war, but its commander, worshiping the Moon Master, also had his own reasons.

There is a saying that sharpening a knife will not delay chopping wood. There are many masters of the Central Plains martial arts world, and there are several major immortal cultivation sects. If the Nanzhao barbarian army relies on the water monster to charge into battle, the plan to attack the Central Plains will never be successful.

Although the water monster is powerful, it is extremely difficult to control it. Once it loses control, it will backfire. It consumes a lot of money to control the monster every time, so the time to summon the monster is limited.

Of course, if the Moon Master is willing to do nothing, he simply sacrifices himself and combines the water monster with the water monster, and there will be no restrictions. However, by then he will also lose his self-awareness and be destroyed by the violently killed by the ancient monsters. He will lose control with the water monster and will not give up until the flood is destroyed.

The leader of the Moon Worshiping Sect is an ambitious man, but he is not a madman. He just wants to use the power of the water monster to unify the world, and he is not crazy about destroying this flower world.

Because of this, the leader of the Moon-World Sect cannot rely on water monsters to solve all the battles, and the Nanzhao barbarian army also has to undertake at least more than half of the conventional combat tasks.

Only the treacherous and mysterious Miaojiang witchcraft is the biggest reliance on the Nanzhao Army's war. The witchcraft is not inferior to that of immortal techniques, and is more vicious and vicious than immortal techniques, and has a greater lethality.

The leader of the Moon-World Sect had formulated a plan to raid Chengdu Prefecture and slaughter millions of Gu insects, giving the military Gu masters an epic strengthening, and then continuing to march northward to confront the main forces in the Central Plains.

At that time, each Gu Master in the army would have countless kinds of Gu insects in the Gu cup, and all evil spells could be thrown away at will, so that the Nanzhao army would have the confidence to fight head-on with the Central Plains army.

His plan went smoothly, and the flesh and blood of living people were feeding the Gu insects grew up happily. Every day he was stationed in Chengdu Prefecture, the strength of the Nanzhao Army along with the Gu army was constantly increasing.

It took a lot of time to capture the people and cultivate the Gu. The Nanzhao army's undeclared surprise attack suddenly disappeared with the passage of time. The spies in front sent back the information. The Chinese Empire's siege attack army was coming from Chang'an City and was about to fight a tough battle next time.

The leader of the Moon Baiyue Sect was not very regretful. The grand strategy was not about the gains and losses of one city and one place. If the Nanzhao army kept fighting fiercely, even if they won consecutive battles and were defeated by the elite troops in Chang'an, they would be exhausted and pushed back by the elite troops in the Central Plains who were waiting to work.

By entrenching Chengdu Prefecture in this way, the Nanzhao army became a side that was waiting for work. The huge amount of Gu insects accumulated can also give the rushing attacking army a great surprise.

...

The 120,000 siege army, led by Jing Xiaolou, and the military supervisor Li Xiaoyao, took a month to arrive at Chengdu North Road and entered Chengdu Prefecture.

Chengdu is more than 700 kilometers away from Xi'an, and it can be reached in two or three hours by high-speed rail. However, the road conditions in ancient times were extremely poor. When a large army marched, it would take a mountain to open a road and build a bridge when it encountered water. The Shenji Army also carried a large amount of baggage and ammunition. Just establishing a transportation supply line was a major project. The marching speed was extremely slow, but it was not urgent.

The soldiers of the Shenji Army have relatively poor hand-to-hand combat capabilities. If they have no guns, artillery or not carrying enough bullets, they will have no combat capabilities, which is no different from a group of civilians.

In addition, the new army had just been formed, and most of the soldiers were new recruits, and the training volume was far insufficient. I didn’t know how many people were lost along the way by force.

Jing Xiaolou and Li Xiaoyao were both anxious, but they had no choice but to leave the army and lead a team of Shushan Flying Sword Camp to kill from the air. However, due to the strict orders of Luo Guoshi, they could only follow the storm of the storm and marching slowly.

Jing Xiaolou was impatient because of the fall of Chengdu Prefecture and Yuzhou was exposed to the Nanzhao army's military. He was worried that the march would slow down. When the army arrived in Shu, he could only watch his hometown being ruined by the Hei Miao Barbarian.

Yuzhou is the foundation of the Jing family. There is also Jing Xiaolou’s mother’s hometown Tangjiabao outside Yuzhou City. If these two places are in trouble, even if they win the war, they will kill all the invading barbarians, but their relatives die in wars, and Jing Xiaolou will leave lifelong regrets.

Li Xiaoyao was worried that Shushan would be captured by the Nanzhao army. Although he is now serving the court, he still more agrees with his identity as a disciple of Shushan. Under the influence of his master Jiu Jianxian, he attaches great importance to the teachings of Shushan ancestors.

In Li Xiaoyao's view, Shushan is a node of the six realms and an important barrier connecting the two realms of demons. If it falls into the hands of the Nanzhao barbarian army, the enemy breaks the Shushan seal formation and leads the demon army to attack the human world, which will trigger an irreversible huge disaster.

Although the marching took a month and it seemed to be very slow to the two commanders, the soldiers of the crusade actually consumed a lot and all showed a tired look.

After all, both commanders are masters of masters, and their physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people. Besides, they don’t have to carry baggage and ammunition like ordinary soldiers. They are from knights and the other from merchants, and are not familiar with military affairs, which leads to cognitive deviations. They ignore the actual situation where the soldiers need to be repaired before they can be put into the battlefield. They hurriedly sent envoys to hand over the letter of war to the enemy in Chengdu.

As for why Li Xiaoyao, a chief supervisor of the army, served as the chief supervisor of the army, became an important commander of the siege army and was on par with Jing Xiaolou?

This is because the Chinese Empire followed the Song Dynasty military system, and the eunuchs had great power to supervise the army. Although Li Xiaoyao was not a eunuch, he had the authority to supervise the army as a eunuch.

When the leader of the Baiyue Cult received the letter of war, he was not worried about the absolute advantage of the army's troops. Instead, he was overjoyed. He knew that his opponent was the commander of the Central Plains Army, who was a war novice, and he did not know the military tactics at all. He immediately sent someone to reply and made an appointment to arrange troops in the wilderness outside Chengdu the next day. The two armies faced each other and had a final battle.

Jing Xiaolou and Li Xiaoyao received a reply from the leader of the Moon, but were not in a hurry to respond. The two summoned the generals of the army to discuss the matter and changed tomorrow's decisive battle to a three-day decisive battle. They also saw through the leader of the Moon, leaving some rest time for the soldiers.

If it were Luo Feng, it would be impossible for them to follow ancient combat etiquette like them, and they would make a battle letter and make a battle on the battlefield. Li Xiaoyao and Jing Xiaolou learned the military knowledge of both of them temporarily from ancient military books. They even had no practical command experience, so it was inevitable that they would make mistakes.

Of course, Luo Feng arranged them to be the commander, but he did not expect them to win the battle. It was just that each person would take the blame and let them take the blame for the incompetence of a general to exhaust the troops. The injustice on the list had a head and a debt, so he would not come to Luo Feng to seek his life at night.
