"Excuse me, please report to Your Majesty. Wu Cheng would like to see you."

Under the surprised eyes of his subordinates, Wu Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards and Emperor Wu's uncle, lowered his head slightly at the entrance of Emperor Wu's military tent. After waiting for a while, he respectfully walked into the military tent.

After a day of rapid march, the Guards Corps officially entered Longchuan County and stationed themselves at the nearest Anfu City south of Longchuan City.

The last time this legion came to Longchuan County was more than two hundred years ago. As a personal army led by Emperor Tianwu, they followed Emperor Tianwu all the way from Zhongzhou to the frozen wasteland of the North Sea.

The scouts sent by Wu Cheng brought back information about Jing's army on the other side of the Burial Dragon River. After confirming that Jing's army was waiting for work and wanted to fight a positional battle, Wu Cheng also ordered the entire army to rest and reorganize, and the Lin Department was responsible for building fortifications.

The Guards Corps is divided into four divisions: Feng Lin Huo Shan, responsible for reconnaissance, logistics, combat and support respectively.

The background of this legion is that it was a pro-army army that followed Emperor Tianwu in his campaigns east and west. Most of the leading generals were from the royal family, and it was also the legion most trusted by Emperor Wu of all dynasties.

After the Royal Guards suffered heavy losses in the war with Utopia five years ago, they have been licking their wounds in the past few years, replenishing a lot of fresh blood and absorbing many direct descendants and branches of the royal family.

Wu Han and Wu Ling are two royal children who have recently joined the Imperial Guards. Wu Han is the legitimate son of Marshal Wu Cheng, and Wu Ling is the biological son of Wu Yue.

"Brother Han, there is something wrong with your father." Wu Ling poked Wu Han, shook his head and motioned for him to look towards the military tent.

Although Wu Yue was the emperor, Wu Cheng had never been polite to him. After all, he was the direct grandson of Emperor Tianwu and the younger brother of Wu Yun. Before Wu Yue became the prince, he, as his uncle, beat him frequently.

But since Wu Yue called Wu Cheng to the military tent yesterday, Wu Cheng spent a long time in the military tent before coming out. After coming out, many people clearly felt that Wu Cheng's attitude towards Wu Yue had changed greatly.

When he was leading the army on the road during the day, he would go to Wu Yue's chariot from time to time to ask for instructions. After setting up camp last night, he immediately ran to Wu Yue's military tent like he did today, and his attitude was as respectful as they had ever seen.

"First of all, according to seniority, you should call me uncle, and secondly, in the army, you should call me marshal." Wu Han glanced at Wu Ling, no matter how big or small he was. "Isn't it obvious that something is wrong? I still want to ask you,

Why did the commander-in-chief look like a different person after he went to the military tent yesterday..."

Wu Han's face turned stern and he stopped talking. After that incident happened, he couldn't say such words as "I feel like a different person".

Wu Ling also realized Wu Han's gaffe and quickly changed the subject, "What do you think they can talk about in this military tent? Does it mean that the commander-in-chief has any military affairs that he still needs to discuss with his father?"

After saying that, he himself felt that it was a bit unrealistic. Wu Cheng had been active in the Imperial Guards when Emperor Tianwu was still alive, while Wu Yue had almost no experience of leading troops in war.

Before coming out, everyone was worried that Wu Yue would give random orders. Fortunately, Wu Yue kept a low profile since he left the imperial capital. He stayed in the royal carriage during the day and marched with him, and basically stayed in the military tent after setting up camp at night.

Wu Ling could say this, but Wu Han couldn't. He was not familiar with Wu Yue, his blood cousin and de facto monarch. In terms of behavior, Wu Yue did not mean to interfere in military affairs. On the contrary, it was Wu Cheng's attitude.

, making everyone feel a little worried.

Since Wu Yue made the decision to go on a personal expedition, Wu Han vaguely heard a lot of doubts about Wu Yue in the army, suspecting that he was as irrational as he was five years ago, and that he had acted more recklessly than he had done five years ago.

decision.

After all, it was this Imperial Guard Corps that paid for Wu Yue's "emperor's wrath" in the war five years ago.

"I heard that Uncle Jue died in Longchuan City." Wu Han kicked the gravel on the ground, looked away from the military tent, turned and walked north. Their duty in the army was to patrol and guard, and always

You can't keep staring at the emperor's military tent.

"Yes, it was not easy until Brother Qing broke through to the extraordinary and was transferred to the Ministry of War. As a result..." Wu Ling followed Wu Han out, feeling a little sad.

"If the earthen pot is not broken away from the well, the general will inevitably die on the battlefield. If Uncle Jue wanted to leave, he would have left long ago. If he hadn't stayed in Longchuan County to organize the defense line and stop Jing's army, I'm afraid Xia Wujiang would have reached Pangao by now.

.”

Wu Han was the legitimate son of Wu Cheng, and he had a relatively good understanding of military strategy under the influence of his ears and eyes.

Judging from the speed of Jingguo's blitzkrieg attack on Weiguo on the eastern front a while ago, if Wu Jue had not urgently built three lines of defense in Longchuan County to delay Xia Wujiang's pace, the northern border of the Northern Army would have been decentralized.

The morale of the people and the military will most likely collapse at the drop of a hat.

Perhaps before the imperial guards arrived, Jing's army had quickly captured two or three counties in the north, as expected by the outside world.

"Brother Han, do you think we can win this battle?"

Wu Ling felt a little guilty. He, the prince, joined the Guards just to get some seniority, and he left after two years. How could he have expected that he would be so unlucky that he would actually go to the battlefield not long after he arrived, and the one he fought had just been annihilated.

Xia Wujiang of the Northern Army.

Along the way, they picked up a lot of defeated troops on the way, and also saw many monks who abandoned their homes and businesses from the north and fled to the south. Their panic was annoying, and at the same time, they inevitably had doubts about the future of this war.

worry.

Wu Ling felt guilty. Wu Han, who was also a newbie on the battlefield, was naturally not much better. He looked towards the Burying Dragon River in the north, and seemed to see many people on the other side of the river setting up formations and fortifications in preparation.

Prepare for the coming battle.

"Of course we can win. We are the descendants of Emperor Tianwu. Grandpa is still watching us."

...

"Two hundred and eighty-three years ago, many of your ancestors once set foot on this land. The Imperial Guards at that time, like us, came to the northern border for the first time. They followed His Majesty Emperor Tianwu and set foot on this land.

All the mountains in the north were covered, and the conquest was completed.”

Wu Han straightened his back and looked at his father floating in the air, doing pre-war mobilization.

"Today, two hundred and eighty-three years later, we followed His Majesty Emperor Wu and came here again. Our duty is to protect, protect the people in the north, and protect the Kingdom of Wu behind us." Hearing this, Wu Han involuntarily shook his head.

He turned to Wu Yue, who was wearing golden armor and holding a golden sword.

Brother, by dressing so ostentatiously on the battlefield, isn't this clearly telling the enemy that you are here? Are you really not afraid of being attacked by the enemy?

"We are the most elite legion in the Wu Kingdom. We have the best treatment, the best equipment, and the best warriors. The Guards Corps has never lost a war since it was established.

I won’t lose, I won’t lose now, and I won’t lose in the future.”

Wu Han's puffed-up chest relaxed a little. The Imperial Guards had never admitted that they had suffered a defeat in the war between the Western Territory and Utopia. They and Utopia suffered casualties on each other, and finally retreated voluntarily. How could they be considered a loser?

"My sons, touch the emblem of the legion on your chests. The ancestors of the legion have guarded the glory of this country and the legion with their blood. Now it is our turn. Tell me, what is the mission of the Guards?"

"Loyalty! Honor! Victory!" Wu Han stretched his neck and shouted, and the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people were deafening.

"Set off!"

Wu Cheng gave an order, and the Imperial Guards moved into action. They quickly left Anfu City and marched north to Mianlongchuan.

The flow of water in the Dragon Burial River was very fast, and Wu Jue cut off the Longchuan Bridge, which to a certain extent prevented Xia Wujiang from continuing southward, but at this moment it also became an obstacle for the Imperial Guards to move northward.

Jing's army had already set up camp on the other side of the river. Their preparations were much better than those of the Wu army, and they had laid out layers of formations on the bank.

"Your Majesty Emperor Wu, Xia Wujiang, on behalf of Jingguo and the Emperor of Jingguo, would like to express sincere greetings to you." Xia Wujiang floated from the top of Longchuan City, and his voice was amplified by magic and spread to the other side. "Today, the two countries are fighting, and there is a big battle.

Now, I wonder if His Majesty Emperor Wu can have a brief talk before the battle?"

There were several people flying into the air with Xia Wujiang, including Zhao Wuya, Hu Qingyue, Lin Wuyang and other Chaofans from Jingguo, as well as Chaofans like Guiyunzong Yunfan who had just joined the Jingguo camp.

With a sound, Wu Yue in golden armor floated into the air, and Wu Cheng and other extraordinary people also rose up and stood behind Wu Yue. However, Wu Yue did not directly respond to Xia Wujiang's greetings, and looked at Yun Fan.

The Guiyun Sect is one of the oldest sects handed down from ancient times in Longchuan County. The Wu State treats a sect like the Guiyun Sect very favorably, but this unfed wolf turned around and became Jingguo's dog.

"Are you worthy?" Wu Yue's cold voice sounded from the sky.

Wu Han raised his head and looked at Wu Yue. Just by these words, he was impressed by his cousin. This is the domineering spirit that Emperor Wu should have as the supreme king in the world.

"Xia recently destroyed the Northern Army and destroyed the city and villages all the way to wait for His Majesty the Emperor Wu. I thought that the Supreme Being in the world should be graceful and graceful, but I never thought that he would be such a domineering and vulgar person."

answer.

"If you want to fight, fight. You are talking nonsense. I am standing here today. What can I do to you who are trying to betray me?" Emperor Wu looked at Xia Wujiang with contempt in his eyes, as if to convey: "Xia Wujiang, the famous general in the world,

That's it?"

"Order the attack, Uncle Emperor. Today the Imperial Guards can only move forward and take Longchuan directly. I will not take a step back."

"My lord, I obey the imperial order!" Wu Cheng bowed in response, then straightened his head and straightened his back, "beat the drum and march!"

Even though Xia Wujiang had been on the battlefield for a long time, he was a little confused by Wu Yue's tricks. He wore a suit of gold armor and said he would not take half a step back. It looked like he was fishing to lure the enemy.

But even if you set up a trap, it always takes time, right?

The Imperial Guards had just arrived on the other side, Wu Yue had just floated into the sky, and everything was under Jing Jun's nose.

Does Wu Yue have any hidden treasures on his body? Or is he just trying to attract attention and conceal Wu Jun's true intentions? Or is this simply a fake Wu Yue? It can't be just stupid, right?

Xia Wujiang retracted his thoughts and turned his attention to Wu Jun's formation. After Wu Cheng ordered the attack, he took out a steaming bead from his hand and threw it at Wu Jun's formation.

The beads suddenly shattered in mid-air, and mist seemed to appear in the sky. In Xia Wujiang's eyes, the military formations of the Wu Kingdom were moving while becoming illusory at the same time.

[Secret Treasure of Heaven Level·Jing Hua Shui Yue]

Xia Wujiang felt confused again. He had also heard about the effect of Mirror Flower, Water Moon, but it was usually used to cover retreats or surprise attacks. Like this, when two armies faced each other, and the horses and chariots faced each other clearly, Ling Xiu would use range magic to cover the fire and confuse the situation.

What's the use of sight?

But he still quickly issued the military order according to the normal thinking. The Peregrine Division spread out its wings, the Lingfeng Division lifted into the air and cast spells to cover it. The Elephant Turtle Army marched to the front army to set up defenses, and the Ghost Wolf Army was hidden among the Dove Tiger Army. If the military force forced

After crossing the river, we took the opportunity to break into formation.

Jing Jun quickly started to move. As long as Xia Wujiang looked in the direction of Wu Jun, he would see a golden and illusory figure in the sky, which should be the Emperor of Wu Kingdom.

Wu Yue, what are you thinking about?

...

Wuhan is rushing forward.

The order he received was to forcibly cross the Burial Dragon River. This confusing order came from his father.

Although he did not understand this order, he had already developed the habit of obeying orders in the army, so he followed his companions while constructing protective spells to attack attacks from the sky.

Wu Han, who was charging forward, heard the dragon roar. He looked up excitedly and saw that it was the Dragon Guard!
