Chapter 1257 Tiandou Army
It has to be said that for countries that lack the ability to govern themselves, war is the most effective catalyst for reconciliation.
In a very short period of time, the top leaders of Tiandou reached a consensus and quickly established a special operations department and command center.
The heavy troops deployed on the border of the Wuhun Empire could not be mobilized.
The only way to do this is to draw troops from the idle ranks of the nobles and royal knights.
The sect dispatched high-end soul masters and at the same time, forged a large number of military equipment and weapons.
Among them, the hidden weapons forged by the Haotian Sect are hot-selling items.
The army equipped with the most advanced equipment on the Tiandou side gathered at the border of the province.
Quanli, who had already noticed this, was also busy preparing for defense.
This time, apart from Dugu Bo, the strongest fighter on the Tiandou side, there were basically no other Titled Douluo participating in the war.
The number of Titled Douluo on the Tiandou side is overwhelmingly less than that on the Wuhun Empire side.
Good steel should be used on the blade.
The other Titled Douluo were deployed to various important routes along the border and could not be easily transferred.
However, in addition to the high-end soul master sects and families, the Tiandou Empire also cultivated a large number of new soul master forces.
Although most of them are only mid- to low-end forces, they are also an important part of the Tiandou Empire Legion.
The army stationed in the city on the edge of the province, led by the new crown prince Xue Beng, the heir apparent to Emperor Xue Ye, is resting in the city while making final preparations for war.
In the city lord's mansion that was temporarily requisitioned as a military camp, Xue Beng, assisted by Prince Xuexing, communicated with his generals with a stiff face.
"According to His Majesty Dugu's investigation, the opposing forces are relatively scarce.
The only thing worth noting is the high-level combat power.
For this part, we have His Majesty Dugu, who can attract the attention of local senior officials for us.
During this time, we will use our overwhelming force and superior equipment to forcibly attack the city and annihilate the enemy's combat effectiveness."
Prince Xuexing, who was fully confident in his own strength and military power, determined the main plan of the operation.
The specific details will be perfected by everyone together.
At this time, Avalanche, who was leading the legion and commanding the battle for the first time, gradually relaxed in the relaxed atmosphere.
From then on, his inner thoughts began to become active.
The sense of pressure from the position of head coach made him express his opinion.
“Since we have an overwhelming advantage and the enemy is short of manpower, why don’t we divide our forces and launch simultaneous, multi-point attacks around the province?
The opposing high-level forces are being held back by Dugu Keqing, so the defenses of the rest of the enemy must be very weak.
While playing to our strengths, attack the enemy's weak points.
What do you think of this proposal? "
Avalanche's proposal immediately caused the tent to fall into silence.
But soon, everyone was surprised and praised: "Your Highness's proposal is very feasible."
It turned out that everyone was surprised that Avalanche came up with a good tactical arrangement the first time he spoke.
Prince Xuexing, standing behind him, nodded with satisfaction.
He had high hopes for Avalanche, and now that he had finally grown to the point where he could stand on his own, of course he had to support him.
"Well, let's follow the Crown Prince's suggestion and re-formulate a detailed battle plan."
With the cooperation of Prince Xuexing, the lights in the City Lord's Mansion were brightly lit until late at night.
Three days later, the army, after resting, set out on the expedition.
Faced with the situation of an approaching army, the city defense corps led by Quan Li was already prepared.
The wind was blowing strongly, and a solemn atmosphere lingered over the vast land.
There are tens of thousands of troops, a large part of which are composed of soul masters, and they are well-trained in military formations.
Avalanche looked at the enemy troops who were ready for battle.
With his eyes, he could see well-trained soldiers and various sophisticated metal equipment of strange shapes on the city walls.
The action of arming the city wall to the teeth in such a short time made Avalanche's face suddenly become solemn.
“A force that can take over a province quietly should not be underestimated.
Dugu Keqing, are you sure that the enemy's top brass are gathered in this city?"
Dugu Bo replied, “Yes, Your Highness.
I have been conducting non-stop exploration these days and have determined that the enemy's main force and high-ranking officials are concentrated in this city."
Xue Beng felt relieved and his expression became firm again.
"Well, then please ask Dugu Keqing to contain the enemy's strongest combat power."
Xue Beng picked up the loudspeaker soul guide and shouted to Quan Li on the city wall, "You left the Tiandou Empire in the past, but for some reason you returned to the Empire today and suddenly seized the Empire's territory.
Did our empire ever owe anything to your Quan family?"
Quan Li narrowed his eyes and locked onto the location of the avalanche.
He sneered at his question and answered in a voice that could be heard throughout the army: "The Empire really does not owe us anything."
Seeing Quan Li's straightforward answer, Xue Beng's eyes lit up and he continued to press, "Then what exactly do you want to do by occupying the empire's territory?
Is it just for personal gain that he wants to bring the people into the war?
Today, the Wuhun Empire dominates the south and is eyeing our Tiandou Empire covetously. Don’t you know that if you do this, you will accidentally bring about a catastrophe. "
Before the battle, Avalanche attempted to seize the moral high ground and thereby weaken the enemy's morale.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated.
Quan Li immediately retorted: "Hahaha, Your Highness, how long has it been since you visited the lives of the lower classes of the empire?
Not to mention the Wuhun Empire, for the current people, the tax collectors sent by you nobles alone are enough to bring them a devastating disaster.
We had no intention of bringing war to this continent.
But we can't bear to watch it any longer.
It's not that we are doing this out of selfish interests, but you are going too far and making it impossible for the people here to survive.
This is what allowed us to capture the province so easily.
This is what the people want, and we are just following the trend to vent their anger.
The ones who are truly going against the will of heaven are you nobles who are lying on the people and sucking their blood."
Xue Beng was scolded harshly.
"Brothers, these guys in front of you are the root cause of the nobles' reckless behavior and your suffering. What should we do with these vampires?"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The sky-high anger erupted from the people of the entire city.
Faced with the overwhelming anger and fighting spirit, Xue Beng's face suddenly turned pale and he took a step back in horror.
Not only Xue Beng, but the expressions of the noble generals around him also changed drastically.
Some soldiers who came from the lower classes were shaken by Quan Li's condemnation.
The well-trained and complete queue began to show some slight commotion.
Prince Xuexing, who felt something was wrong, immediately said, "Your Highness, this man is spreading rumors and trying to shake the morale of our army. Please give the order to attack the city as soon as possible."
Avalanche, who was momentarily overwhelmed by the momentum, nodded hastily and said, "Follow my command, all troops, attack."
Military orders were as firm as a mountain, and under the constraints of various generals, the riots were suppressed forcefully.
