The navy's exploration fleet has shown its power on the boundary river. In terms of the army, if it wants to rush from the coast to the West, even if it only arrives at its border, a distance of 200 kilometers will take six or seven days.

To reach the location of the Cross-He River Bridge, it will take six or seven days even if you march, not to mention that the journey will definitely not be so simple.

However, after stopping the enemy's reinforcements, Li Jing could advance slowly and steadily without worrying about any accident.

Just because the more than 200,000 troops of the Baxter State want to fight against the attacks of the three divisions of the Xia State and the more than 100,000 servants, it is completely a fantasy.

...

"General Li, the latest information." Liu Ji rode a war horse and quickly chased after Li Jing. After handing a letter, he said happily: "The Imperial Guards, the City Guards have captured the Fulimet Kingdom in the south."

"Oh?" Li Jing took the information, opened it and quickly browsed it. After reading it, he was very happy. He smiled at Liu Ji and said, "This is good news, so our army has no worries at all."

"Yes." Liu Ji nodded and agreed: "In this way, the Second Division can move its position."

Li Jing quickly recalled the map south of the Jiehe River in his mind. Their current location was almost at the eastern border of Baxter, and the Second Division was in Yongsheng City (Yili City) south of Baxter.

The navy's defensive fleet also met with the Exploration Fleet two days ago and was cruising up and down the Border River. While launching artillery bombardment on the river-facing targets of the Baxter Kingdom, the forces in the north of the Border River were preventing the forces in the north from crossing the river.

In this way, the State of Xia surrounded the State of Baxter from the east, south and north. Even if the State of Baxter has great abilities, it will not escape the fate of destruction.

But for a moment, Li Jing immediately ordered: "Order the Second Division to launch an attack from the south to capture the Kingdom of Baxter as soon as possible."

Hearing Li Jing's order, Liu Ji thought for a while and nodded, "It's good to destroy this last powerful country as soon as possible, and to achieve the king's order as soon as possible."

"Yes." After Li Jing gave the order, he looked at the Xia army who was invisible in the marching and sighed: "The soldiers have already set out for a long time. They can complete the war one day earlier, and they can also let the soldiers rest one day earlier."

"After General Li, the Imperial Guards and the City Guards have captured the Kingdom of Folimet, they will attack the West according to the orders of the king until they attack to the Jiehe River." Liu Ji was in Tianqi City at that time, and even the Imperial Guards and the City Guards had his advisers.

"So, after our army occupied the country of Baxter, we will win the last target as soon as possible - the Eight Sons United, and then our army will be able to win triumph."

After recalling the map in his mind again, Li Jing replied with some concern: "It's good that way, I'm afraid that something will happen suddenly if you and me wish."

When Liu Ji heard this, he frowned, thought for a while, and asked, "General Li is worried about the forces west of the upper reaches of the Border River?"

Before Li Jing answered, Liu Ji continued to say to himself: "The mountains in the upper reaches of the Border River are undulating, and the rivers are not as wide as those in the middle and lower reaches. There are countless places to cross the river, and the warships of our country cannot enter, so it is a bit difficult to rely on the army."

"That's true." Li Jing affirmed Liu Ji's speculation and said: "There is a large area of ​​war-torn land east of the upper reaches of the Jiehe River. Li was worried that if the Imperial Guards and the City Guards encountered an accident during the attack, there might be something unexpected."

"The mountainous terrain is complex, and the Imperial Guard is another heavy-armed division, which is not conducive to mountain combat." Liu Ji said thoughtfully: "The city guard is no different from the first and second divisions. There are not many artillery, so there is no big problem in the mountains."

"According to information, there is a plateau west of the upper reaches of the Jiehe River. There is an Anyuan Kingdom on it, which has completely occupied the entire plateau and has hundreds of thousands of troops." Li Jing said, "If this Anyuan Kingdom comes from top to bottom, it is estimated that the Imperial Guards and the City Guards will be difficult to deal with."

"The complex terrain is not conducive to our army, and the people of Beiyi regard me as their enemy." Liu Ji also said: "The right time, place and people are harmonious. Our army has lost two of them. Perhaps all three are lost. It is really a difficult situation!"

When Li Jing heard this, he immediately made a decision. Looking at Liu Ji, who was riding on a war horse beside him, he said firmly: "Our army should fight quickly and decide quickly. After capturing the country of Baxter and the eight sons, he should rush to assist the imperial guards, and the two troops of the City Guards will be."

Originally, the land northern army led by Li Jing had already completed the established combat goals after capturing these two forces, but when they saw that friendly forces were in trouble, the overall situation should be put first.

"General Li makes the decision." At this time, Liu Ji was of course full of recognition of Li Jing's overall view. Although he was the chief of staff, his other hidden identity was the military supervisor sent by Yang Song. Therefore, if Li Jing takes actions beyond the established tasks, he must seek Liu Ji's affirmation.

Next, Li Jing led his army to capture Baxter. Even if Baxter temporarily expanded to more than 200,000 troops, what role could these temporarily recruited mobs have in the face of Xia's army?

It is just to increase the Xia army's record. The biggest function left is to delay some of the Xia army's time and make the Xia army's marching less smoothly.

As for the casualties of the vassal army, when the attack on the eastern waters, nearly half of the vassal army of 200,000 were lost. However, in the following time, Li Jing ordered the recruitment of troops on the spot, successfully increasing the number of vassal army to about 150,000.

If this land hadn't had wars for years and the number of young and strong people on this land could have recovered to 200,000, but its combat effectiveness would have declined seriously.

However, the decline is only comparable to the combat power of other forces. If the original 100,000 cores of the Servant Army are mostly present, and with the clever command, their combat power will be much stronger than the indigenous army in this world.

When Li Jing ordered the recruitment of the vassal army on the spot, he discussed it with Liu Ji. After all, the power of recruitment is not something that the generals who went out to fight were able to possess.

Even when Li Jing was the deputy director of the Military Department in Tianqi City, he had no additional military conscription power. Some of them had the power to recruit and recruit retired military soldiers every year.

The only power of the conscription power is owned by King Yang Song, so even if Liu Ji agrees, they will definitely be held accountable by Yang Song after the triumph.

The so-called systems, laws, and rules are things that cannot be surpassed. If they can, these things will be of no use.

However, with the victorious military achievements, the two of them will not do anything, at most they will be less rewarded at that time.
