Chapter 295
"All the soldiers of the 11th to 200,000-thousand divisions should deploy their defenses in the direction of the empire immediately. Within three days, no one from the Zhenwei Legion will be allowed to step into the barracks!" Du Zhentian issued a general order in a deep voice.
"The last general obeys! Within three days, no one from the Zhenwei Legion will be allowed to step into the barracks!" Another ten division-level generals bowed to accept their orders.
"Very good! In fact, maybe our problem can be solved in three days, so you don't have to worry too much, okay! All the generals of the 11th to 20th divisions will go down to carry out the military orders. Remember, what you just heard must be kept strictly confidential, and the soldiers below only need to fully cooperate in carrying out the general order!" Du Zhentian nodded in satisfaction.
"The last general understands!" After the ten generals bowed in response, they left the commander's tent one by one.
Du Zhentian stared quietly at the ten division-level generals who had withdrawn from the command tent. Apart from him, there were still nine trusted lieutenants left in the tent. Among them were two or three second-generation children of the Du family who were also Du Zhentian's cousins!
"Third brother! Are all the words you just said true?!" Twenty division-level generals have all gone out, and they will stay. They are all trusted lieutenants of the Zhongwu Army. Du Zhenhai finally couldn't help asking.
On weekdays, when Du Zhentian is not in the army, many affairs are managed by the third-rank deputy general Du Zhenhai, so he can be regarded as the second person in the Zhongwu army.
Even if he is number two, he still hasn't heard Du Zhentian talk about this big secret, that's why he asked this question!
"Hey! Absolutely no falsehood! If it wasn't for that, why would I go against all opinions and attach so much importance to the defense of my own empire after this year?!" Du Zhentian sighed softly.
All the nine lieutenant generals suddenly realized, and only then did they realize that since the first year after receiving the second-level combat readiness order, the chief general Du Zhentian had really spent a lot of energy on building the military camp to defend against the empire after he returned to the military camp.
In addition, it is to go all out to consolidate the first to third lines of defense in Chilong Gorge. It also reserves a large amount of rolling stone arrows and other consumables on the first three lines of defense. I don't pay much attention to the construction!
Dare love this year, he has been preparing for today!
"So that's it! I understand!" The fourth child Du Zhenhai suddenly said.
"I didn't expect that the sixth son was not our uncle's real son. I felt strange. How could my uncle, who is so righteous, give birth to such a narrow-minded and cold-hearted son? At first, I thought it was an illegitimate son. Because of his mother, now it seems that he is not the kind of uncle at all, and he even colluded with the Blue Moon Empire to kill his old man, it is really abhorrent!"
"I don't know what preparations the empire has made for the Zhenwei Legion's collusion with the Blue Moon Empire? How can we cooperate?!" A deputy general asked.
"Even I don't know the specific plan! This plan is not even known to General Wei of the military department. It was jointly formulated by a limited number of core personnel including the old and new emperors! You just need to follow what I just told you, and carry it on." Just stay for three days!" Du Zhentian mused.
"At that time, if the Zhenwei Legion rushes over, shall we do it directly or..." the fourth brother Du Zhenhai asked again.
"Delay time! Unless they do it first, try not to do it if you can. After all, there are still many soldiers in the Zhenwei Army who don't know about it, and they are loyal to our empire!" Du Zhentian replied without thinking.
"..."
In the commander's tent, the chief general Du Zhentian continued to discuss with his confidant generals there, and the whole barracks garrison began to burst into loud noises. One hundred thousand troops marched towards Chilong Gorge. This process will definitely last for a long time, and there are still ten Wan Dajun was sent to the northeast of the camp to garrison.
The entire Zhongwu Legion camp completely blocked the entrance and exit of the Chilong Gorge facing the Haotian Empire. Any army that wanted to enter or leave the Chilong Gorge had to pass this barrier!
And this important stronghold guarding the dangerous pass of Chilong Gorge, after decades of continuous construction by the Zhongwu Army, is definitely a small steel camp that is easy to defend and difficult to attack!
Time passed, and just a few hours after the 100,000 troops entered the front three defense lines of Chilong Gorge, a huge army finally appeared at the entrance of Chilong Gorge facing Qingyun Grassland!
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as mighty, covering the sky and blocking out the sun!
Chilong Gorge is located ten miles away in the direction of Qingyun Grassland, which is the outer area of Qingyun Grassland. Nearly a million troops spread out. The scene is absolutely shocking!
"Pass down my general's order! The army set up camp in place!" Pu Zhongyi, the commander of the Blue Moon Empire's nearly one million army, ordered loudly. Pu Zhongyi was the father of Pu Junnan who was killed by Du Long.
Unfortunately, he still doesn't know that the so-called murderer Mu Jiu is actually his opponent Du Zhentian's son Du Long, otherwise, he wouldn't be so calm, right? !
As a result, the grand occasion of a million troops setting up camp appeared in the area facing the Chilong Gorge on the Qingyun Grassland. Tens of thousands of soldiers ran to the side of the forest near the forest of monsters, cut down a lot of wood, and then transported it back to the new camp. Start building simple defensive fences!
Not long after the army of the Blue Moon Empire arrived at the southern entrance and exit of Chilong Gorge, the north gate of the Zhongwu Legion camp in the north of Chilong Gorge also welcomed the army of Zhenwei Legion!
Du Zhentian and the others who were in the tent received news that the army of the Blue Moon Empire had arrived in the south of the Chilong Gorge and the army of the Zhenwei Army had arrived in the north of the camp within a quarter of an hour!
"Hmph! The Zhenwei Legion and the Blue Moon Empire are really cooperating with each other! Almost at the same time!" The fourth brother Du Zhenhai snorted angrily.
If you don't know that the two parties are in collusion, you may think it's a coincidence. Once you know the details, this kind of coincidence will become a ridiculous tacit cooperation!
"We just received today and have just made defensive preparations. Even if the Imperial Army ordered the Zhenwei Army to go south to the Chilong Gorge to support us at the fastest speed, it would take at least one day for them to gather the army and supplies. Now It seems that they have assembled the supplies of the army long ago, and they can't wait to come here as soon as they receive the imperial order!" A deputy general analyzed with a gloomy face.
"Let's go! Let's go meet the Zhenwei Legion! Let's see how they will play this scene!" Du Zhentian stood up directly, took the lead out of the tent, and rushed straight to the north of the camp.
The northern camp gate of the Zhongwu Legion’s garrison was closed, and a thousand meters away from the north gate, there was a large number of troops from the Zhenwei Army standing there. A centurion led a few soldiers from the Zhenwei Army to break away from the large army, and rode their horses slowly towards the gate of the village. Come on.
From their faces, there was no nervous expression at all. For these Zhenwei soldiers, Zhenwei and Zhongwu are both hereditary legions of the Du family. It is not an exaggeration to say that the two legions are one family!
Choo Choo Choo!
Just as they rode their horses slowly to a hundred meters away from the gate of the camp, the bows and arrows shot by the three army crossbows landed in front of them one after another, and stuck on the muddy ground. It could be seen that the arrow tails were still trembling there. .
"Wow!" The soldiers of the Zhenwei Legion, who were still advancing slowly, were immediately startled by this extremely unfriendly warning, and the captain shouted angrily at the gate wall of the camp on the spot: " Brothers on the wall! What are you doing?! Don’t you see that we are members of the Zhenwei Legion?!”
"Listen up, soldiers of the Zhenwei Legion! General Zhongwu has an order for your troops to stay where they are. Without an order, you must not approach within 100 meters. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a declaration of war!" Kong Lei, the head of the human division, roared majestically.
"My Zhenwei Legion came to Chilong Gorge to help the Zhongwu Legion under the order of the Imperial Army! Why don't you even let the camp gate in?! Isn't this unreasonable?!" The squad leader He yelled with a puzzled look on his face.
"There are not so many reasons! We are just executing the military order, and you have to retreat quickly. Once you pass the cordon, the bow and arrow will not shoot the ground!" Kong Lei, the head of the division, replied with a serious face. Look, there is no meaning of joking at all.
For this result, not only the squad members of the Zhenwei Legion below were puzzled, but even many soldiers of the Zhongwu Legion above the wall were also very puzzled!
No way, there are some secrets that low-level soldiers like them have no right to know!
"Let's go back!" After finally realizing that the other party was not joking with him, the team leader immediately turned his horse's head, angrily called a few team members around him, and rushed back to return to his command together!
Inside the army of the Zhenwei Army, Du Zhennan was riding on a horse, listening to the small leader's report with a gloomy face, and then dismissed him impatiently!
Beside him, apart from a dozen or so cronies and thousands of elite personal guards guarding him heavily, ordinary Zhenwei Army soldiers couldn't approach him at all.
Having been in charge of the Zhenwei Legion for many years, Du Zhennan had dismissed the original veterans long ago, and some of them had no excuses, so they were sent to the logistics and other departments of the Legion. This approach made many veterans of the Zhenwei Legion very dissatisfied, but they did not any way.
Now, those who are qualified to follow him at any time are all his cronies who vowed to follow him to the death, and they are generals who are willing to follow him to rebel!
"Could it be that! Du Zhentian discovered our secret plan?! He actually blocked our army and prevented the Zhenwei Army from entering the camp?!" Seeing that the small leader was far away from this place, the chief general Du Zhennan muttered sullenly.
"General Zhongwu actually ordered his subordinates to close the gate of the camp. He didn't even follow the orders of the military department, and he didn't even let us in. It's really weird!" A trusted lieutenant next to him analyzed.
"It's so abnormal, I think it's possible to discover our secret plan, General! What should we do now?!" Another lieutenant general said.
"Hmph! Want to delay?! There is no door!" Du Zhennan snorted sullenly and said angrily, "Let's go! Let's go to the front to find out. Once it is confirmed that the secret may be leaked, it will not be too late to launch an attack!"
So, Du Zhennan patted his horse and led all his cronies and guards to the front of the formation. A few hundred meters away, he stared at the unusually tall and strong camp wall in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat.
As early as more than half a year ago, he had received the news that the Zhongwu Army had begun to build and strengthen the camp walls after Du Zhentian's return. At that time, Du Zhennan didn't pay much attention to it, so there is nothing wrong with strengthening the camp walls in the second level of combat readiness!
But seeing such a solid camp wall with his own eyes today, coupled with the fact that the Zhongwu Army did not allow his own army to enter, and all the signs connected together, he felt a little uneasy!
"I'm Du Zhennan, the chief general of the Zhenwei Legion! Ask my third brother to come out and speak!" Du Zhennan rode his horse to stop a few hundred meters away, and shouted directly towards the camp wall of the Zhongwu Army.
Facing the general of the legion, the several division commanders on the camp wall were all dumbfounded. Even if they had an opinion on him in their hearts, it was not easy to scold him in public. Really can't provoke it!
"Haha! It turned out to be General Zhenwei! I'm really sorry! My general said that due to some reasons, the soldiers of the Zhenwei Legion cannot enter the camp, so I can only work hard for you to temporarily camp outside!" Kong Lei Bite the bullet and squeeze out a smile and answered loudly.
"Bold! We came to Chilongxia at full speed to support the Zhongwu Army under the order of the military department, but you didn't let me wait to enter the camp. Could it be that the Zhongwu Army wanted to disobey the order of the military department?!" A lieutenant beside Du Zhennan shouted loudly.
"This..." Just when Kong Lei didn't know how to answer, Du Zhentian led all his trusted lieutenants to arrive at the right time. Seeing his immediate superior finally show up, Kong Lei and the division-level generals all secretly heaved a sigh of relief. .
