Chapter 247: Going to War (Asking for Monthly Votes)

Although Emperor Yu Zhou Mingxuan ordered Zhong Pei, Dong Ju, and Fang Zhang to lead the army to fight against the three dynasties, they did not leave Chang'an City at the first time.

Only the left general Zhong Pei took the trained Tian Diao to the border of Youzhou overnight, and took over the 100,000 troops guarding the border with the military token given by Emperor Yu, and repelled the invading Dayuan Royal Court Iron Cavalry.

But after Zhong Pei led his army to chase the Dayuan Iron Cavalry deep into the enemy country for 300 miles, he did not go deeper, but returned to Yanmen Pass, waiting for the next imperial edict from Emperor Yu, just because the logistics in the rear could not keep up with the speed of the army.

At the same time, one imperial edict after another was sent from Chang'an City to the major counties of Jiuzhou to summon supplies. The vast Dayu Dynasty started to move, and countless supplies were mobilized and gathered in Chang'an City through water transport, road transport, etc.

The war between the two countries can be attributed to one sentence: the war is fought with national strength and the foundation!

The stronger the national strength and the deeper the foundation, the more likely it is to hold on and win the final victory.

Especially now, the Dayu Dynasty wants to conquer the three dynasties, the blue race headed by the Dayuan Royal Court in the north, the red race headed by the Zoroastrian Empire in the west, and the black race of the Chiefs Alliance in the south.

Each country is more than tens of thousands of miles away. Without sufficient food, medicine and other logistical support, how can we support the long expedition of millions of troops and let them go deep into the enemy's territory and fight with the enemy.

Once the army is ambushed by the enemy and falls into a situation of fighting alone, the ammunition and food are exhausted, and the whole army will be wiped out if it is not careful!

Before the troops move, the food and grass must go first!

One of the reasons why Zhou Mingxuan was able to successfully seize the world is that his father-in-law is the richest man in Jiuzhou, and he provided the Zhou family with a large amount of food, horses, weapons and other supplies.

This allowed the Zhou family to defeat the other seven major families step by step, seize the artifacts, become the common master of the world, and establish a powerful Dayu Dynasty.

This is the importance of resources to a force.

At the same time, since most of the strength of the Dayu Dynasty's practitioners of the Way of Literature relies on the Human Law Network, they use the Human Law Network to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, transform it into the great literary energy, and exert powerful combat power.

Once they are far away from the area covered by the Human Law Network, that is, the territory of the Jiuzhou land, they can exert less than 30% of their strength. Facing warriors of the same realm, they have no room to fight back.

Therefore, in terms of high-end warfare, the Dayu Dynasty, which is divided into three armies for expedition, does not have much advantage.

For these reasons, Emperor Yu did not immediately send troops to attack the three dynasties.

Since the eternal Qi creatures can enter the Jiuzhou world and comprehend the power of artistic conception here, they will inevitably come into contact with the creatures of this world.

Therefore, over the past few decades, the Dayu Dynasty has acquired a lot of knowledge inheritance in the process of communicating with the former.

For example, professions that can assist in cultivation, such as the Way of Instruments, the Way of Alchemy, the Way of Talismans, the Way of Arrays, etc., have also been passed down in the Jiuzhou land.

All the financial, material and human resources of the entire Jiuzhou were put into operation, and grains and carts of herbs were transported to the borders of the three parties.

Then, under the continuous refining of thousands of low-grade pharmacists day and night, they were turned into fasting pills for hunger and blood-recovering powder for treating injuries, in preparation for the upcoming expedition war.

Of course, the fasting pills here are not like the spiritual pills fasting pills in the Eternal Realm that are made from spiritual grains and can keep people from being hungry for months or even years.

Instead, ordinary grains and meats are made in a certain proportion, and the pharmacists use special methods to extract the essence from them and refine a simple version of the fasting pill.

It can allow an ordinary soldier to go without food for five days at most, and the taste can only be barely eaten, and the spiritual energy contained is weak. For the post-natal warriors, it can only barely replenish the consumed strength.

Of course, warriors have more advanced pills to take.

The Bigu Pill is easy to carry, which reduces the problem of food transportation. Taking one pill can keep the soldiers strong for several days. It is the best thing for a large army expedition.

This is also the confidence of Emperor Yu to declare war on the three dynasties at the same time and divide the troops into three expeditions!

…………

Five months have passed in a blink of an eye. The cold winter is gone, the ice and snow have dissipated, and all things have revived and are full of vitality. It is the most suitable time for a large army expedition.

Now, the Dayu Dynasty has spent a lot of material, human and financial resources to produce enough materials to support a million troops for a year, as well as many weapons and equipment.

On this day, a flat area a hundred miles away from Chang'an City has long been turned into a training ground, gathering and stationing nearly a million troops, with crowds of people, endless, waiting for inspection.

The three people led by Zhong Pei, Dong Ju and Fang Zhang wore armor, holding Fang Tian Huaji and other weapons, and rode on tall and handsome horses.

Emperor Yu Zhou Mingxuan came here from the palace under the protection of civil and military officials, climbed the high platform that had been built long ago, and swept the whole army with a majestic look.

Zhong Pei and the other two hurriedly dismounted, walked forward a few steps, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "The general greets your majesty, long live the emperor."

With the blessing of powerful true energy, the voice spread throughout the area, and the endless millions of troops behind him also knelt on one knee, causing the earth to tremble slightly.

"Greetings to your majesty, long live the emperor!"

The shouting like a tsunami rushed straight into the sky, dispersing the clouds in the sky, and the people of Chang'an City, hundreds of miles away, could hear the sound coming from the parade ground.

Emperor Yu's face remained unchanged, always with a faint smile, and his gentle voice enveloped the parade ground, "All soldiers stand up."

"Thank you, your majesty!"

There was another round of roaring, and millions of soldiers stood up in unison, their movements neat and consistent. They were the most elite soldiers of Dayu.

"Beat the war drums!"

At the command, several huge cowhide war drums were carried out by the soldiers and placed on both sides of the platform. Four strong men with strong backs and strong waists stood under each war drum, hitting the war drums with all their strength.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of passionate war drums spread throughout the parade ground. Millions of soldiers looked ahead, only to feel the blood in their bodies boiling, and their eyes were full of fighting spirit.

"Roar", "Ao", "Cry"

Suddenly, four beast roars sounded outside the parade ground, almost suppressing the sound of the war drums, making the soldiers feel nervous.

I saw a huge figure rushing out from each direction, coming to the sky above the parade ground, circling and dancing above Emperor Yu, the civil and military officials, and the soldiers.

Seeing the appearance of the four figures, the soldiers were in an uproar, "These are the four guardian beasts of the Dayu Dynasty!"

Seeing the appearance of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise, the atmosphere of the parade ground was ignited again. The eyes of the soldiers were full of enthusiasm, and the army was unprecedentedly cohesive.

These are the four legendary beasts. Except for the frequent appearances when Dayu was founded decades ago, almost no one can see their traces now. They didn't expect that they could see them with their own eyes today.

The four beasts circled in the sky for a moment, then shrank and landed on the high platform, standing side by side with Emperor Yu. Their majestic postures made everyone excited.

Afterwards, the war drums sounded again, and the three Zhongpei in front of the army walked onto the high platform, knelt on one knee to Emperor Yu, and took the military token given by the latter.

Zhongpei and the three stood up, looked at each other, raised the military token in their hands, and ordered loudly: "The three armies are going to march!"

"Go! Go! Go!"
