Chapter 105: Military Chaos

"That's right, the Zhenguisi and the troops of each city in Linzhou are also retreating while fighting. Damn it, we have never been so cowardly!"

The others also echoed one after another. Since that Gui object comparable to a Half-Saint had someone to deal with, then what were they really afraid of!

Besides, the three thousand heavy-armored Zhiren in Li Yanbing's hands now were each terrifying in strength. If they really fought, it was hard to say who would win and who would lose.

That morning, the Luohe City Zhenguisi and the Zhenguisi of other cities joined forces to go south. At the same time, the original city defense armies and other forces stationed in each city were also successively mobilizing toward the south of Jiangzhou.

It could be said that Li Yanbing had now successfully integrated the power of the entire Jiangzhou. If she were given some more time, she could completely build the entire Jiangzhou into an iron bucket.

However, it was clear that time was running out now. No one knew when Linzhou would suffer a total collapse and be completely occupied by the rebel army.

What was even more chilling was that for causing such a huge turmoil, the Great Xia Dynasty didn't send any true experts to suppress the disaster.

This made some people with ulterior motives begin to stir even more.

——————

In the Ding-character graveyard, Lin Feng was sitting in the courtyard with his eyes closed, sunbathing.

He looked like a leisurely old man, eating, walking, sunbathing, and talking to others about idle things.

He lived his small life in this troubled time of military chaos where one didn't know if they would live to see the next day, and it was quite flavorful.

But in reality, he basically responded to Lao Quezi's words one after another, and his main thoughts were on the forty Zhiren he had scattered last night.

These Zhiren were not weak in strength, and their movement speed was naturally quite rapid.

Now they had spread to various places. Some Zhiren arrived at remote cities, some at villages and towns, but more were on the roads in the wilderness.

The drought in Qingzhou in the west of Jiangzhou had reached the extreme. The Zhiren collecting corpses encountered a large number of abandoned villages along the way.

What made Lin Feng feel even more difficult was that sometimes he could encounter people who starved to death on the road, and many corpses were eaten by wild dogs and crows.

In some mountain nests, one could occasionally see smoke rising, but when one walked closer, it turned out to be a bandit den, and what was stewing in the big pot was actually chopped-up hands, feet, and heads.

Lin Feng was more and more shocked as he watched this scene. Just along the way, the Zhiren had collected no less than thirty relatively complete corpses, and there were some that it had killed—the bandits.

But after inspection, those bandits were actually ordinary people who were forced to live no longer......

"Sigh~"

Opening his eyes, Lin Feng sighed slowly. He was not the type of person who was sentimental, but seeing those scenes through the Zhiren still made his heart throb.

Besides the west of Jiangzhou, the situation in Mingzhou in the east was not much better. Many places were directly empty, and there were wasteland and abandoned villages everywhere.

Only some big cities still had human smoke, but the cities were also dead, and there were some disheveled beggars in the streets and corners.

The situation seen by the Zhiren going north was better. Luzhou in the north had many mountains and water. Although there were fewer people, it was at least normal.

As for Linzhou in the south, it was now completely chaotic. The roads were basically filled with ordinary people dragging their families to flee to Jiangzhou.

"Has the Zhenguisi started to assemble troops to go south?"

Through the Zhiren, Lin Feng also discovered the armies that had begun to appear successively at the border between Jiangzhou and Linzhou.

Li Yanbing's heavy-armored Zhiren were also being successively transferred to the south. It looked like they were going to resist the rebel army here head-on.

"Reporting to my Lord, the government troops have arrived and are setting up camp!"

At the border between Jiangzhou and Linzhou, there were some mountains and rivers as natural passes. At this time, they became natural barriers.

Bai Yuanlong looked at Li Yanbing, who had arrived here in advance through the Gui domain, and reported to her immediately.

"Hmm, how does it feel to lead troops for the first time?"

Li Yanbing looked at this Silver-Badge Divine Catcher who had been transferred by her and asked.

"It's okay, there are two participating generals in the army, otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know how to set up camp."

Bai Yuanlong reported to her honestly. He was not from the army and had no experience in leading troops in battle. Although he had been cramming relevant knowledge these days, time was short after all.

"The government troop commander Qin Anian is in collusion with King Li. I wanted to spend more time reorganizing the government troops, but now it's too late."

Li Yanbing also had a headache about this kind of problem. Fortunately, she temporarily transferred some participating generals and colonels who were familiar with military affairs through her family's relationship to help.

Otherwise, the current government troops would still only be able to eat white rice in the military camp.

"Subordinate understands!"

"That's it, this time the government troops don't need to fight. Let them assist in setting up camp and managing the refugees who have fled here."

However, even so, Li Yanbing still didn't have any hope for the combat ability of the government troops and could only make such arrangements, treating it as letting Bai Yuanlong train the soldiers.

"Yes!"

Bai Yuanlong agreed and then retreated. He already knew what to do next.

"According to the news from Linzhou, at most in two days, those rebels will be able to attack!"

"Those bastards are actually forcing the people to attack the city. These damn things, they all deserve to die!"

Waiting for Bai Yuanlong to leave, the others in the tent cursed one after another. Linzhou had been broken through three cities by the rebels, clearly the situation was gone.

"Everyone, I didn't bring you here to learn how to complain like women!"

Hearing their cursing, Li Yanbing frowned. What was imminent now should be thinking of ways to deal with the upcoming military disaster.

"Hoo~ I lost my composure. I have already arranged for manpower to mix into Linzhou to contact the Zhenguisi in various places. Now that the other party wants to fight, then let them fight!"

"We should set up a formation, accumulate strength, and guard this place!"

Zhou Qing of the Jinhua City Zhenguisi pointed to the position on the military map and then began to talk about his arrangements.

If Linzhou couldn't be guarded, then just don't guard it. The key was to transfer the Zhenguisi personnel and troops of Linzhou over.

Only then could they accumulate more troops here and block the offensive of those rebels thoroughly by waiting for work at ease.

"It makes sense, but will the people in Linzhou agree?"

"Hehe, they are not stupid. Now that we can contribute, it's already great news, why wouldn't they agree?"

"Then let's do it, but don't count on the government troops of each city. I heard that those rebels have used the methods of the Tattoo Sect, and the soldiers under their command are like evil ghosts, one more fierce than the other! Ordinary government troops can't hold up at critical moments!"

Gao Yong nodded in agreement, but he knew better that those rebels could make such a big move, their strength must not be weak.

"At that time, I will let the heavy-armored Zhiren under my command be the vanguard to charge, and the two wings will be left to you to guard. Absolutely don't let those rebels cross the border!"

"As for the people of the Tattoo Sect, if they dare to appear openly, then I will definitely invite the Great Sage Equaling Heaven senior to suppress and kill them all!"

Li Yanbing pointed to the military map and said with extreme determination. ===== CHAPTER 106 =====

Gao Yong nodded in agreement, though he was even more aware that for those rebel forces to cause such a commotion, their strength must be far from weak.

"When the time comes, I will have the heavy-armored Zhiren under my command serve as the vanguard to charge and kill; I leave the two flanks to you to hold. You must absolutely not let those rebels cross the border!"

"As for the people of the Tattoo Sect, if they dare to appear openly, I will certainly invite Senior Great Sage Equaling Heaven to suppress and kill them all!"

Li Yanbing pointed at the military map and then said with unusual firmness.
