On May 15, after six days of deep and roundabout operations, Feng Jixing's 50,000 cavalry arrived at Yunzhong Water Gate in a mighty manner.
Above the water gate stood a fortress that had been standing for decades.
It was Yunzhong Pass. , and Feng Jixing's purpose of this trip is Yunzhong Pass.
Only by guarding Yunzhong Pass can he stop the iron hoof of Long Ji Corps from continuing to invade south.
Feng Jixing has no choice.
Looking up at this towering fortress, Luo Yu couldn't help frowning and said, "I don't know how long we want Pan to stay here."
"Until we accumulate enough strength to be able to recover the lost territory through the Northern Expedition."
Feng Jixing said with a deep look: "Enter the pass, pass the order, take over the entire Yunzhong Pass, and send out feather letters to all the prefectures and counties in the Yunzhong Province.
Those who have not yet surrendered and those who have surrendered will be taken in as long as they come to Yunzhong Pass for refuge.
We cannot let the people of the empire feel cold. " "Yes, Your Highness" The Yunzhong Sluice is adjacent to the Yunzhong Ancient Road, the transportation lifeline.
A large number of iron hooves enter the fortress from the Yunzhong Ancient Road.
The guard on the city is Lin Muyu’s old team.
The former Venus instructor of the temple has now become a guard.
See When Feng Jixing arrived, he handed over the city to him without hesitation.
For the imperial soldiers, Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing were the two gods of war, the supreme existence.
Stepping on the city wall and looking to the north, Feng Jixing continued to issue various defense orders regardless of his fatigue, and recruited civilians to repair the city wall.
After all, there has been no war between Yunzhong Province and Lanyan City for many years, and Yunzhong Pass has been open for many years.
Many lengths of the city wall in Shilidi have been in disrepair for a long time.
If they are not repaired, they will be vulnerable.
Holding on to the cold stone wall, Feng Jixing watched the surging water of the Dao River flowing from the north.
The river was flowing rapidly, and huge heads appeared one after another in the heart of the river.
They were frost-armored horned dragons.
It grows in the Daojiang River Basin of Yunzhong Province and has been popular for decades.
They are not willing to get close to the Daojiang River at all, and these frost-armored horned dragons are huddled together and howling under the sluice.
It is this huge sluice that prevents them from going down the river to the south.
If they all go, the fishermen and fishermen in the south will Farmers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait may suffer.
"Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"
Luo Yu asked in a low voice.
"there is none left."
Feng Jixing was a little helpless, looking at the fast-flowing Daojiang River with furrowed brows.
After a few seconds, he said again: "Luo Yu, how is the defensive strength of Qihai Province?
Fang Lan is not a kind person.
After taking Muyu City, , the next step may be Qihai City.
If the two major cities in the north fall one after another, we will be the sinners of the empire and will be forever shamed."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the Seven Seas Province is temporarily guarded by General Chen Xiaoli.
He began to gather troops from all major prefectures and counties in the province a few days ago.
Together with his own troops, there are at least 150,000 troops in the Seven Seas Province.
The mountains between it and Yunzhong Province are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
With General Chen Xiaoli’s ability, I believe there will be no problem.”
"Um."
Feng Jixing muttered a few words silently: "I haven't seen Chen Xiaoli for a long time, and I don't know what is wrong with him now.
I sent War Eagle Scouts to find the scattered Iron Blade Army and take them back to Yunzhong Pass.
Can we I will take whatever comes back.
In addition, I will send messengers to the major prefectures and counties in Tianshu Province and order more than 70% of all the government troops to come to Yunzhong Pass to wait for my dispatch. " "Yes, I obey."
"etc."

"What else can you do, Your Highness?"
Feng Jixing pondered for a moment and said: "I ordered people to quickly rustle a hundred battle flags with Qin characters and distribute them to all the ministries in Yunzhong Pass.
I want the whole army to know whose army we are and who we are fighting for." ” "Yes, my subordinate will do it now."
Seeing Luo Yu hurried away, Feng Jixing couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It was a wise decision to get Luo Yu from Lin Muyu.
Otherwise, there would be no such capable general at this moment.
As for Zhang Wei, let He can charge into battle, and he has the air of a general, but it is far from enough for him to do some civilian work.
Well, the imperial army has always emphasized military force over civil affairs, but there are many disadvantages.
If this war is really fought and the empire is immortal, it is also time to pay attention to civil affairs.
After all, Qin Jin has accumulated coins and The economy has been almost completely destroyed in this decade.
At this time, the empire is said to be empty of treasury and exhausted.
Until noon, the voice of the messenger woke Feng Jixing from his dream.
"Your Highness, the remnants of an Iron Blade Army have returned."
"ah" Feng Jixing turned over from the chair and fell.
He had not closed his eyes for five days and five nights in a row.
He was really tired.
He activated his divine power just when his body was about to land.
He waved his palms and his body floated up.
After opening the door, he asked : "Who is back?"
"Your Majesty, it was the Iron Blade Army who followed Luo Xin and led them out of the city to fight against the scattered troops.
They were led by Qin Yong, the commander of the right army of the Iron Blade Army.
After being ambushed, they were chased by the Longji Corps twice.
The losses were heavy.
Now they are outside the city.
General Zhang Wei asked me to report and ask if they should be allowed to enter Yunzhong Pass. " "Okay, I'll be there right away."
Feng Jixing stepped forward, and a flash of lightning passed by, but the person had disappeared from the spot, shattering into the void.
"Pah" Under the shade of the willow trees on the Yunzhong Ancient Road, a bolt of lightning bloomed.
Feng Jixing appeared several miles away in a flash.
When he appeared, Zhang Wei and others behind him were slightly startled, but soon After calming down, who in the imperial army didn't know that Feng Jixing was a strong man in the divine realm, so he was not surprised.
But on the ancient road, a group of remnant defeated soldiers stood there with an extremely miserable appearance.
The man at the front turned over and jumped off his horse.
His armor was incomplete.
There were knife marks on his arms and chest, and there were blood stains on them.
The sword in his hand was The upper body was covered with cracked wounds, and the face seemed to be covered in blood.
Qin Yong, a distant bloodline of the Qin royal family, was once the bloodline of his ancestors, but in this generation it has become farther and farther away from the direct lineage, so that Qin Yong was originally just a small captain of a state, but this little However, the young captain relied on his own ability and gradually reached the position of commanding the right army through military exploits.
"The whole army dismounts and salutes His Royal Highness King Xin" Qin Yong shouted loudly, and the soldiers behind him, who looked like they were fished out of bloody water, dismounted one after another.
They all performed the current imperial military salute, kneeling on the right knee, with their right fist touching the ground, and their left hand naturally placed on the left knee.
Go up, bow your head respectfully.
This is the current imperial military salute.
It is only used when meeting princes and emperors.
"stand up."
Feng Jixing's voice was decisive, saying: "Military salute, I, Feng Jixing, am a soldier."
"yes" Qin Yong stood up, led the soldiers behind him, and saluted while standing, which was a fist-clasping salute.
He held the weapon in his right hand and covered it with his left hand on the back of his right hand, which was respectful and mighty.
Feng Jixing also saluted them.

This was the respect between soldiers.
"General Qin Yong, how many more people do you have?"
he asked.
Qin Yong's body trembled: "Your Highness, there were 50,000 people following Duke Xin when he left the city.
Nearly 20,000 of them were brothers of our right army.
After being ambushed, we lost five out of ten.
In the end, the general only took 10,000 people with him." rushed out, and then three days ago, We were hunted down twice again five days ago, leaving only more than 7,000 brothers.
We lacked food and grass along the way.
Many brothers were wounded and died of hunger.
I was eventually incompetent and the number of people who starved to death was over a thousand, many.
The war horses have been slaughtered, but " "Are there no villages and towns along the way?"
Feng Jixing said sharply: "Why don't you supply food and grass in the villages and towns?"
"Your Highness, I" Qin Yong trembled and knelt on the ground again, saying: "The general is incompetent, but the imperial military law stipulates that the people should not be disturbed.
The villages and towns along the way have been looted by the Tianji Empire's thieves, and many people have been displaced.
He himself There is nothing to eat, so how can my subordinates launch troops and plunder?
Those right army brothers who starved to death would rather die than plunder the people.
Please punish them, Your Highness."
"good" Feng Jixing's eyes were a little blurry and his voice was trembling: "Well done, General Qin Yong, this is a role model for the imperial soldiers.
A year ago, His Highness Yu changed the military system and reorganized the military salute.
The left hand holds the cover to hold the soldier, which means If you are brave enough not to stir up chaos and use force not to violate the prohibition, you, General Qin Yong, are more qualified to be my Qin family’s soldiers than someone like Su Changyan who has surrendered.”
"What?"
Qin Yong was stunned: "Deputy Commander Su Changyan surrendered."
"Otherwise" Feng Jixing said with a cold face: "Su Changyan easily sacrificed Muyu City without any resistance.
It is simply a shame for the empire and a shame for the Su family.
Qin Yong, I appoint you as the new commander of the Iron Blade Army.
From now on , we will receive the returning Iron Blade Army skirmishers in Yunzhong Pass.
The troops we recruit will also be used to supplement the Iron Blade Army.
Can you be a good leader?"
Qin Yong was stunned.
He was promoted from the commander of the Right Army to the Iron Blade Army in an instant.
This promotion came too quickly, but he was too late to be happy.
What he wanted more in his heart was revenge.
He clasped his fists and said: "I will obey my orders."
"Come in, Zhang Wei.
Arrange the camp for the brothers of the Iron Blade Army.
Immediately order the Linghuo Division to cook and let everyone have a full meal first."
Zhang Wei clasped his fists: "Yes, Your Highness."
Luo Yu stood next to Feng Jixing, watching the ranks of defeated Iron Blade Army soldiers entering the city gate.
His heart felt indescribably heavy, just like Feng Jixing's mood.
The last 50,000 cavalry from Shenwei Camp were dispatched to support Muyu City, but they did not expect such a result.
The results of ten famous generals staining the battlefield with blood may have been wasted just because of one general who surrendered.
Until three days later, an endless stream of remnants of the Iron Blade Army gathered from the mountains, fertile fields, and jungles of Yunzhong Province, and finally formed a team of nearly 30,000 people.
Now there are only a few people left in the Iron Blade Army.
Praises such as "Iron Lion of the North", "First Army of the Empire", and "Su Clan's Great Army" have become a thing of the past
