"Mr. Lin!"

Xie Ying and Huang Tingchi, the highest generals of Jin Tie Town military, and Liu Kun, the highest general of the escort army who escorted the ordnance, came to Lin Xi and bowed deeply to Lin Xi.

It is related to life and death and the major national affairs that are more important than life to these Yunqin soldiers. At this moment, such a simple salute is particularly sincere and solemn.

When these three Yun Qin generals bowed to Lin Xi, almost all Yun Qin soldiers, even those who were injured and bandaged with the help of their companions, began to bow to Lin Xi.

"No need to be polite, you should also understand that this is not something I can do alone." Lin Xi turned to look at Qin Xiyue, then looked at these three Yun Qin generals who were much older than him, and said as a self-deprecatingly: "Besides, even if the Officials and the Secretary now recognizes my official rank, my official rank should be below you."

"Mr. Lin, you are the high priest of the Priests' Court..." Xie Ying whispered to remind Lin Xi.

Lin Xi originally wanted to smile and say something that had not been completely turned into a regular position, but the bloody smell filled his nose also reminded him that it was not a nonsense at this moment. So he couldn't help but frown slightly, looked at the three generals, and asked: "I know that Damang has a main army to attack Dongjingling and go through Dongjingling and attack Falling Starling. What is the latest military situation you know at present?"

The three generals looked at each other, and Liu Kun spoke first, saying: "Our batch of weapons includes 200 silo-month crossbow chariots and 200 sirens blades. The rest are crossbow arrows, arrows, and giant crossbow arrows required for the Dongjingling City Crossbow, as well as a batch of oil-soaked velvet rays used for night battle lighting. Lord Lin, you have been in the army for quite a while, so you should know... the weight of this batch of weapons is very important for defending the city. We were delayed by this heavy cavalry here for half a day... It is only half a day's carriage ride from Dongjingling itself, which is not far away, but Dongjingling even did not even send signals to us by reconnaissance cavalry, carrier pigeons, beacon smoke, etc., I'm afraid that the Damang army has already pressed to Dongjingling."

Lin Xi thought for a while and nodded: "There is not even a pigeon or a beacon... It does mean that Dongjingling is too busy to take care of itself, and the reconnaissance army has no way to break through the blockade of the army. It is possible that the Damang army has already begun to attack Dongjingling at this time. This is at least three or four hours earlier than the military predicted?"

"Four hours." Liu Kun nodded heavily and looked at Lin Xi and said, "This Damang army itself belongs to Damang's successor reinforcements. Their own schedule is more than two days behind the Damang lord army that attacked the Falling Starling. In the previous five or six days, the army's journey and the battles along the way were very urgent... So according to the fastest estimate of the military headquarters, if this Damang heavy cavalry does not appear, at our normal speed, after we arrive at Dongjingling, we will have at least two hours of preparation time, which is enough to unseal and equip this batch of weapons."

"After marching for a few days, I will squeeze out two more hours." Lin Xi frowned a little deeper: "How can this Damang army do this marching that exceeds the limit and then exceeds the limit?"

"Medical." Li Wu, who had been listening silently, said calmly: "There is a kind of magic flower in the Thousand Demons' Cave. The medicine extracted from the juice can greatly stimulate people's spirit and physical strength, and can even make people feel excited for four or five consecutive days, and they are even full of energy without sleeping. However, after the medicine is effective, people will be extremely tired. The most important thing is that they will have a great dependence. If they do not get this medicine in the future, they will feel extremely uncomfortable, and even if they don't want to eat, their physical fitness will become worse and worse."

"Poppy? Opium?" Lin Xi was stunned, "There are many flowers like this in Thousand Demons' Cave?"

"The Thousand Demon Cave is called Demon Eyes." Li Wu nodded and said, "The mountains and fields are blooming all over the mountains, but because the harms are more than the benefits, we should only use some medicines for auxiliary medicines. If Wenren Cangyue spared no expense, it would be enough to save the medicine that tens of thousands of troops once in the past year."

"It seems that Wenren Cangyue has extracted the resources that Damang can extract to the extreme... He probably hasn't considered how many Damang soldiers can survive in the end." Lin Xi sneered: "It will be almost two hours to disrupt many of our Yunqin military's deployments."

"Dongjingling is in danger. Please ask Lord Lin to lead the entire army and ask Lord Lin to issue an order for the entire army to march urgently." Xie Ying, Huang Tingchi and Liu Kun looked at each other, bowed deeply again, and sincerely and anxiously requested.

Lin Xi was silent for a long time, then looked up calmly and looked at the three generals and said, "Okay, I promise you that I will command this army... But next, you must obey any of my orders. Even if my orders make no sense, you can ask questions, but if I can explain, I will explain, and if I cannot explain, I will not explain."

"I won't ask any questions." Xie Ying narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who in our army dares to disobey the orders of the lord, I will cut off his head, including mine."

Liu Kun whispered calmly and respectfully: "The same is true for our army."

Lin Xi nodded, saluted the three Yun Qin generals seriously, and said calmly: "The whole army moves forward at normal speed and carefully cleans up the battlefield... All the useful weapons that this Damang Heavy Cavalry can take away, even if it is slightly damaged, will not affect the feather arrows that are shot, and will be cleaned up and placed in the convoy to take to Dongjingling."

...

"Why?"

Qin Xiyue, who was sitting on the carriage with the arms of the carriage, asked Lin Xi, who had even piled up Shenmu Feihe onto a carriage after he issued the military order.

"Dongjingling is more than 50,000 to more than 70,000... There are still many practitioners in both sides." Lin Xi said: "There are so many powers here that are nothing. If Dongjingling can no longer support it before we arrive, then it will be meaningless if we are not there. Moreover, we have just experienced a great war, and the soldiers need rest, and we also need rest and meditation to replenish our soul power."

"I understand that you want our army to be in the best condition and to be a new force to fight." Qin Xiyue looked at Lin Xi quietly and shook her head, "I just asked you why, not why you issued this military order, why did you hesitate for so long before you promised them to be the commander of this army? You are the generals of this generation of the academy. I believe many people already know that there should be nothing to worry about."

Lin Xi looked at her peaceful and beautiful face and smiled bitterly.

He found that although he had not had much time with Qin Xiyue, it seemed that since the college misunderstood that time, she had understood herself very well, just like Gao Yanan.

"It is completely different to fighting as a cultivator and charging into battle." Lin Xi looked at her and explained: "Especially in such a war, as a commander, a command is the order of many people... Because sometimes, in order to protect more people and win, you even have to let some soldiers execute the orders that must be dying and fill some soldiers in the place where they must be dying."

"Next to Dongjingling, you may really have to face such an order." Qin Xiyue looked at Lin Xi quietly. She knew that Lin Xi's emotions were a woman's kindness and unnecessary entanglement in some people, but this is probably the reason why all of them would fight with Lin Xi to the end. She looked at Lin Xi and said quietly: "But you must take on such a thing... because it is related to the life and death of more people."

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility... When I heard this sentence before, I always thought it was a very funny sentence, but now I know that it is a very painful sentence." Lin Xi nodded and said calmly.

Bian Linghan looked at Lin Xi. If it were a long time ago, she might have said Lin Xi was saying very idiotic and stupid things like Tong Wei. But at this moment, she could put herself in her shoes and understand Lin Xi's emotions. She just sat silently in a carriage next to her, closed her eyes, and began to try to enter meditation and practice to restore her soul power.

...

...

Dongjingling.

The war has indeed broken out.

The Dongjingling area is still a plain area, but along the line, there are large areas of woods and rivers, and rice fields are densely populated. Some light cavalry and infantry can even cross these areas quickly. However, some heavy armored troops and troops transporting subsequent armies can only go through Dongjingling and from the avenue behind Dongjingling.

The Damang army was naturally afraid that when detours, more than 50,000 troops in Dongjingling were blocked from the rear and double-teamed with the Fallen Star Tomb.

Eliminate Yun Qin's large force here, build defense on site, cut off some of the subsequent Yun Qin army's supplies and interspersions, and the various reasons required for the Damang army's own advancement made the battle here determine the outcome of Yun Qin and Damang's decisive battle this time.

The dull and grand roar of the ordnance operation covered the entire sky above Dongjingling.

The catapult carts in Lingcheng and the catapult carts of the city guarding crossbows outside the Damang army kept blasting each other.

Due to the limited speed of advancement, the Damang army brought small detachable catapults. The shooting distance and the weight of throwable stones naturally cannot be compared with the large tower giant arm catapults in the city. However, the purpose of this Damang army is very clear. Their catapults are all pointed cone-shaped heavy wood, with hard steel embedded in the front end. All catapults are not intended to kill Yunqin soldiers on the city wall. All catapults are adjusted to the limit distance that can be hit by the city wall. All the thrown hits are all parts below half of the city wall.

These big-mang catapults were like chisels, constantly knocking on the city walls of Dongjingling.

The catapult cart in Dongjingling is the target of tuning these catapult carts.

The big army like the tide is a certain distance away from these big wild catapults, and most of them are located outside the attack distance of the catapults in the Lingcheng City.

For a moment, although large tracts of gravel collapsed on the city wall from time to time, stone smoke filled with them, and huge rocks fell on the catapult carts in Damang from time to time, and giant trees and broken steel bars flew around, the whole scene seemed particularly cold and cold at the moment. In the huge sound, compared to this kind of war, it seemed a little dead and silent.
