Chapter 626:260. 1
Translator: 549690339
The start of a war was always so unexpected that it would not give anyone the chance to prepare.
The army of Northern Glacier Town had gone south, and the armies of the Great Zhou had come to their rescue. It seemed like a very long time had passed.
But in fact, from the moment the news spread to the moment the two sides met on the battlefield, it had only been a month.
In this fantasy world, where productivity wasn’t developed and the speed of information transmission wasn’t fast, it was really incredible to be able to mobilize millions of troops in such a short period of time to wage such a large-scale war.
From this, one could see the decisiveness between the two sides of the war...
There was no winner, only life and death.
In order to defend against the attack of the million soldiers of Northern Ice River Town, the Great Zhou had set up six impenetrable human walls in the northwest.
These six layers of defense surrounded Haojing City, which was located in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so tightly that even a mouse could not pass through it unscathed.
Under such circumstances, the Star-Moon Army did not want to be outdone.
They sent out almost all the troops that could be mobilized from Northern Ice River Town. They had a crazy attitude of either success or death. Countless people in the nine provinces of China expressed their great incomprehension.
Because in the past, even if Northern Ice River Town was high-profile, it was only in their own small territory.
It had always been relatively quiet in the international community.
Unlike now, where they had gone crazy and dispatched troops, not considering the price they had to pay to fight the Great Zhou to the death...
“Crazy, this time is really crazy. What right does Northern Glacier Town have to attack Great Zhou? Did he really think that he could occupy the Great Zhou?”
Li Ruxing sent them as vanguards because he wanted to let these new recruits mature as much as possible before the war became white-hot.
After all, swords had no eyes on the battlefield.
At the beginning of the war, there was still a chance for the recruits to test each other. Once the real swords and spears reached the climax, there was no need to repeat the same thing.
Therefore, although the Starmoon Troop’s frontline troops had very solid basic training, their combat experience was very weak.
Many of them were even on the battlefield for the first time, and unfortunately, they participated in this war that was destined to be a river of blood and no return.
Li Ruxing, who knew the situation of the front line like the back of her hand, immediately reacted when she saw the Great Zhou drive the people to attack the front line.
They quickly deployed a battle-hardened elite force from the main camp to bring up the rear, preventing the front line from being defeated due to chaos.
He also quickly moved the elite cavalry formed by the veterans to the side to be ready to provide support at any time. With a two-pronged approach, it did not cause too much trouble.
Otherwise, the Starmoon Troop would be a big joke in their first battle.
A battlefield of a million people was all about the general trend.
Under normal circumstances, the gains and losses of a city or a land, the success or failure of an army or a general, would not directly affect the direction of the entire battlefield.
After all, as long as one was a mature general, they would not put their troops in one basket. Millions of troops would have at least dozens of battle formations.
However, the war had yet to officially begin. If the front line was destroyed by a group of cannon fodder, the morale of the following war would be severely affected.
After realizing that the Starmoon Troop had reacted, the vassal kings behind the Great Zhou could not help but spit and say,”Tsk, Li Ruxing’s reaction is quite fast- If we had known that the Star Moon Troon would be surrounded by a
group of cannon fodder, we could have placed a cavalry behind them and dived straight into the battlefield..”
