In September of the nineteenth year of Tianxuan, the branch territory of Peiquanhou State in the Southern Continent among the five branches of the Yidi Territory was also discovered by the local power of the Southern Continent, the Fire Phoenix Empire. Of the five branch territories of the Yidi Territory, only The Marquis of Liede in the mainland has not been discovered.
But the four kingdoms were all discovered by the local forces. Of course, the kingdom of Shaliu and the kingdom of Taiji are not counted. Qu Mao reckons that the kingdom of Liede will not persist for too long. After all, the lords of the chosen players can exchange news on the lord communication channel , Liu Qianhui told Qu Mao that there were god-chosen player lords who communicated about Fenghua Dukedom on the lord communication channel. Of course, when Liu Qianhui said this to Qu Mao, the Peiquanhou Kingdom had not been discovered yet.
Qu Mao made a special trip to the Peiquanhou country in the Southern Continent for the discovery of the Peiquanhou country. However, after finding that Zhuang Peiquan could handle the matter well, Qu Mao did not intervene too much.
At least in the meeting that Qu Mao participated in, all Zhuang Peiquan's decisions fully complied with the principles and orientations required by Emperor Yi's territory, so Qu Mao didn't want to continue wasting time in Peiquan Hou.
In Qu Mao's view, there is not much difference between the Hou Kingdom of Peiquan and the Duke of Fenghua when it was first discovered. Even if the Houfeng Kingdom of the Southern Continent's local forces discovered the Hou Kingdom of Peiquan, it would be a challenge to organize an army to come. The Peiquanhou country, which is a barren land with no people, is probably not something that can be done in a day or two.
You have to prepare for a few months anyway, and there are now 2 million standing army soldiers in Emperor Yi's territory in the Peiquanhou Kingdom. If the Huofeng Empire dispatches too few troops, they will basically send food to the Peiquanhou Kingdom. What's more, the five passes outside the Marquis of Peiquan were personally inspected by Qu Mao. With the current traditional rank of cold weapon fighters, even if they have low-level gunpowder weapons, it is difficult to capture them.
Even if there are no five dangerous passes to block, the sharpness and advanced level of weapons of the soldiers of Peiquanhou and the 2 million soldiers stationed in Peiquanhou in Yidi's territory are enough to discover the local forces of Peiquanhou in the southern continent. Drink a jug.
Qu Mao estimates that the real strength of the Peiquanhou Kingdom, which has 2 million standing troops stationed in the territory of Emperor Yi, has far exceeded the perception of the strength of the local players in the Southern Continent to the strength of the Houguo-level territory. The strength of the Peiquanhou Kingdom is even Ordinary kingdom-level territories are not comparable, so the first two times when the local forces of the southern continent invaded the Peiquanhou country, most likely they were sending war results or prisoners of war to the Peiquanhou country.
It is precisely because Qu Mao is convinced that although the local forces in the southern continent have discovered the Marquis of Peiquan, they will definitely not be able to threaten the Marquis of Peiquan in the short term. Therefore, after participating in Zhuang Peiquan's response meeting, Qu Mao hastily left the Marquis of Peiquan He only told Zhuang Peiquan and his management team that a steam train will be added to the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's territory in the near future to send more fresh water and food to Peiquan Hou, so that Peiquan Hou can wholeheartedly carry out defensive counterattacks.
But as soon as Qu Mao returned to the lord's hut in the holy land of Yidi's territory, he had to go to the kingdom of Shaliu again before his **** was hot. Pan also went to the country of Shaliuhou, and Qu Mao wrote a letter to Chafidel who was in the country of Shaliuhou. Unexpectedly, Qu Mao had to go to the country of Shaliuhou again in less than a week. Handle the matter of the Western Continent Raiders war in person.
When he came to the Marquis of Shaliu this time, Qu Mao did not visit Liu Qianhui in Shaliu City immediately, but went straight to Metal City.
Thinking about going to the Marquis of Peiquan, Chafidel’s letter also swears that the Western Continent strategy plan will not be implemented so quickly. The sky is open, and before September is over, the Raiders of the Western Continent has started a war for no reason.
When Qu Mao rushed to the Metal City of the Kingdom of Shaliu, Chafidel, Zhao Pan, and Sirta Delta were not in the Metal City. There are still a large number of firearms soldiers stationed, but there is no core military hero.
After asking someone, Qu Mao found out that on September 18, the 19th year of Tianxuan, Zafidel had just sent out the fourth batch of scout soldiers from the Firearms Army, and he received the return of the third batch of scout soldiers that night. A group of scout soldiers encountered an ambush by the regular army of the Asan Empire outside the village on the border of the Asan Empire, and the entire army was wiped out.
Zhaifeidel and Zhao Pan immediately arranged for the newly selected fifth batch of scout soldiers of the Firearms Army to set off with themselves and 3,000 fourth-tier camel cavalry, aiming at the border of the Third Empire in the Gobi.
At the same time, it is strictly ordered that Selta Delta must lead at least 50,000 Firearms Army soldiers to march towards the border of the Three Empires before September 22.
When Qu Mao arrived at Metal City, it was already the morning of September 26, the nineteenth year of Tianxuan.
Therefore, I took a short break in Metal City, filled my backpack with the necessary supplies for marching in the desert, and then Qu Mao ordered 200 fifth-tier court guards, replaced all the mounts with camels, and then marched towards the border of the Asan Empire .
After three days and three nights of continuous marching, Qu Mao had traveled nearly 300 kilometers. Due to four consecutive desert storms on the road, when Qu Mao walked out of the desert and came to the Gobi area, there were already 50 of the 200 fifth-level palace guards accompanying him. Many people were buried in the desert, and the staff reduction exceeded 25%, close to 30%.
If it weren’t for the fact that the camels transferred by the fifth-level court guards had all passed this road, Qu Mao really couldn’t guarantee that he would be able to pass through the desert area safely.
Continuing along the Gobi, with the help of the guide, Qu Mao and the rest of the fifth-rank palace guards continued to move forward.
It was not until late at night on September 30, the nineteenth year of Tianxuan, that Qu Mao and his fifth-rank court guards arrived at the former army camp where Chafidel and Zhao Pan were.
Walking into the tent of the Chinese army in the former army camp, Chafidel and Zhao Pan were both there, but Sirta Delta, who set off four days earlier, was not in the tent of the Chinese army. Qu Mao took out a water bag from his backpack, After taking a few sips, he told Chafidel and Zhao Pan about the desert storms he encountered on the road, which led to the reduction of staff.
Zhao Pan and Chafidel had no choice but to comfort Qu Mao. In fact, during the march of the Firearms Army and 3,000 fourth-level camel riders, there were also cases of downsizing due to the harsh weather in the desert.
So it's not Qu Mao's luck, but the desert climate is too harsh.
Qu Mao sighed, and asked: "Zhaifidel, what is the current situation of the Asan Empire? In the letter you wrote to me before, you didn't explain it in detail."
Chafidel said: "My lord, on August 8th, the 19th year of Tianxuan, the first batch of scouts brought the information of the Asan Empire back to the Metal City of Shaliuhou State, and my subordinates immediately called a meeting of the heroes of the Firearms Army to discuss this matter." matter.
There is about 300 kilometers of desert and 100 kilometers of uninhabited land between the Asan Empire and the Metal City of Shaliuhou State, and then there are border villages of the Asan Empire. About 50 kilometers away from the border village, there is a The border town of Ah San Empire is called Jab City.
The Asan Empire has naturally become the target of our plan to attack the Western Continent. With the dispatch of the second batch of Firearms Army scout fighters and the third batch of Firearms Army scout fighters, we have formulated a detailed strategy plan. wrote that letter.
The Asan Empire is a power dominated by the Chosen players, but it does not belong to the Fulu Alliance in the Western Continent. It is one of the few exclusive forces in the Western Continent.
We hadn't planned to directly attack the Asan Empire, and we were still in the process of further gathering information and deploying troops. Who would have thought that on September 18, the 19th year of Tianxuan, the third batch of scout soldiers fled back to Shaliu with wounds all over their bodies? Houguo Metal City said that the border troops of the Asan Empire ambushed and attacked our second batch of scout soldiers in the early morning of September 12.
Only our Firearms Army has ever taken the initiative to attack others. How can we be actively bullied by others?
So the subordinates immediately sent out the fifth batch of scout fighters, and at the same time brought a small number of firearms soldiers and 3,000 fourth-rank camel riders from the army, and rushed here quickly. Annihilated the frontier army of the Asan Empire who attacked our second batch of scout soldiers.
In order to avenge the 50 scout soldiers of the second batch of Firearms Army, we slaughtered 500 people from the frontier army of the Asan Empire, leaving no one alive, even if more than 200 people could have been captured by us.
The border of the Asan Empire is more than 500 kilometers long. Sirta Delta led 50,000 Firearms Army soldiers to a border town 200 kilometers away, and waited until Sir Mrak brought the Firearms Army soldiers to the rescue. , We will attack the Asan Empire in three parts from the border line of more than 500 kilometers.
At present, this former army camp was originally a village on the border of the Asan Empire. All 176 villagers have been controlled by our firearms soldiers. We have not slaughtered these civilians. As long as they do not resist, we will hardly kill them. them. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "The Lord of the Chosen players must have received the news that his troops were killed by you, so it is impossible for you to engage in sneak attacks in the next battle, and you must be mentally prepared in advance."
Chafidel frowned, and said: "My lord, the subordinates who died on the battlefield will not say anything. The scout troops who attacked us will not leave a single life alive. Therefore, we will directly use artillery to blast away every building in the Three Empires." Town, for the army of the Asan Empire, my subordinates have issued an order to all the soldiers of the Firearms Army: don't show mercy, and use the most thunderous means to deal the greatest damage."
Qu Mao said: "You decide on the battlefield yourself. Where is Sir Mrak? When will the war start?"
