Chapter 270: Arrive in the East Town of Zhen
Zhendongcheng Town is guarding the edge of the territory of the Daxia Dynasty. It is a lonely city, with a wide open front and back, which has a bit of an isolated city.
The Daxia city closest to Zhendongcheng is a county town called Shanggu County. When Xiatian led a million troops here, he did not stay in the county town.
It is said that it is a county town, but in fact, the city is not small anymore. It is not impossible to station one million people, but summer does not want to disturb the place.
Therefore, all the millions of troops were stationed in the open area outside the county town. Xia Tian only ordered the county magistrate of Shanggu County to send some supplies to the army.
The amount of supplies needed by a million troops is naturally quite large. In ordinary counties, they may not be able to mobilize so many supplies when they are anxious. The county magistrate of Shanggu County has really done it.
Although the county town is not small in size and has a small population, it is absolutely difficult to mobilize all these materials if there is no more reliable county magistrate.
"Report to Your Majesty, I will ask for your visit."
While sitting in a luxurious tent set up and playing with a jade seal casually, a sound came from outside the tent.
"Let him come in."
After putting away the jade seal, Xia Tian replied lightly.
After a moment, the curtain of the tent was lifted open, and a handsome young man walked in, wearing the county magistrate's robe, highlighting his mightyness.
The county magistrate of Shanggu County is very young. Xia Tian had known it for a long time, but he didn't expect that he was so young and had a good temperament.
"Ma Long, the magistrate of Shanggu County, please see Your Majesty."
As soon as he entered the tent, the young man immediately bowed and said loudly.
"Let's go flat."
Xia Tian nodded and said lightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ma Long stood up.
"Ma Long, right? It's really good for you to manage Shanggu County. You can provide supplies from a million troops in a timely manner and remember your merits. However, these supplies are collected within a reasonable range, and you can't do anything to scrape the ground."
First, he praised casually, and Xia Tian's tone became slightly serious and asked in a deep voice.
If an ordinary person or a less courageous official was still frightened when facing Xia Tian’s question, he would not be so calm.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. My subordinates will not do this. The ability of the county government alone is indeed not enough to collect all these supplies and collect some from the people in the city. However, my subordinates all gave compensation."
Ma Long promised.
Xia Tian nodded: "That's good."
Xia Tian would not ask about the materials that Ma Long used to collect, but he should not be too much. If someone sued him, he would not be polite.
"How much do you know about the situation in Zhendongcheng?"
Xia Tian changed the topic and asked in a deep voice.
"I know a little, but because Dongyi's warning is relatively tight, it is difficult for the spies sent out to get too close, so I don't know much."
Ma Long replied uneasyly.
Over the past year, Xia Tian’s reputation has spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty. In private, there are many names such as tyrants and murderous demons, so Ma Long has naturally heard of it.
When his expression fell majestic, Ma Long immediately felt the pressure. In addition, he did not do very well in this regard and had no confidence in his heart.
"You can say as much as you know."
Xia Tian nodded indifferently.
After receiving the news that Zhendongcheng and Zhennancheng were captured together, Xia Tian was mentally prepared and the situation on the border would not be too good.
"yes."
Ma Long agreed.
According to Ma Long's story, Xia Tian also had a general understanding of the situation here. The most important point is that a celestial immortal appeared on the Dongyi side, which surprised Xia Tian.
Since the founding of the Daxia Kingdom, although the four barbarians have always existed, they have always been a small disaster and are nothing and are not in the eyes of the Daxia Dynasty.
Once upon a time, in the ten thousand years of history, the Four Barbarians only captured the four cities of the Daxia Dynasty's border towns three times. It can be seen that the strength of the Four Barbarians is not really strong.
In the historical records, it seems that the Si Yi only had a celestial immortal. It was Xia Chun's era. The celestial immortal of the Si Yi had no day to stand out. As soon as the fairy appeared, there was no trace of it.
Unexpectedly, ten thousand years later, another celestial immortal appeared again. With the strength of the celestial immortal, it is naturally no problem to break Zhendongcheng.
"There is a celestial immortal, no wonder."
Xia Tian suddenly realized and said to himself.
After resting outside Shanggu County for a day, the fatigue of marching for several days disappeared. Xia Tian raised his troops again and rushed towards Zhendongcheng.
Knowing that Dongyi had a celestial immortal, Xia Tian's attitude was a little more correct, and he did not send out horses or anything else to attack, and directly pushed the army on the whole line.
Millions of troops are all elite soldiers. Although they are not elite soldiers among elite soldiers, every soldier has at least the cultivation level above the innate realm. If he runs for a short period of time, he can be no less than a galloping horse.
Of course, when marching in summer, it is not that fast. Millions of troops are pressing on the entire line, and the speed is neither fast nor slow, and it is maintained at a uniform speed.
When the army went forward for ten miles, Xia Tian was surprised to find that Dongyi's troops were already moving here, and the scope of the spread was actually here. Dongyi really regarded Daxia's territory as his back garden.
It is not accurate to say that it is a horse-studying force. The sporadic troops are all cultivators with very high cultivation. There are less than ten people in a team of less than ten people. They are actually a qi-trainer in the Nascent Soul Realm. The worst remaining is also the Golden Pill Realm.
"Shang Huan, you take action and capture those people."
He pointed his fingers casually and pointed in one direction. Xia Tian ordered Shang, who was beside him.
"Affect the order."
Shang responded, his figure flew up in the sky and pointed towards Xia Tian's finger.
The body turned into a ray of escape light, flashing away, and in a few flashes, the body disappeared into the eyes of a large army, and the sound of fighting came from the distance in front of him.
A roar sounded, and a shiny light suddenly rose. The movement of the battle over there did not last long. In just a moment, the movement completely disappeared.
Then, a light of escape could be seen flying back, Shang Huan's body flew forward, and a rope tied to a row of monks behind him.
He flew to Xia Tian, threw the people on the ground, and Shang Huan held his fists and returned, "Your Majesty, I am worthy of my mission."
"Very good, you can return to the team."
Xia Tian nodded with satisfaction.
After admiring Shang, Xia Tian turned his head, looked at Ma Wu, and ordered: "Ma Wu, take these people down, clean up, and tap into the news over there, any means can be used."
"yes."
Ma Wu responded respectfully.
When talking about Ma Wu, Xia Tian thought of Ma Long in an instant. Both of these two people’s surnames are Ma, so it doesn’t matter.
The millions of troops continued to move forward slowly. At the beginning, they could encounter some sentry-snooping cultivators, who were all not very weak in their cultivation, but they were not too strong either.
You Shang also took action. Those Qi training men whose cultivation skills are generally in the Nascent Soul Realm, Purple Mansion Realm and Golden Elixir Realm are not at all. They are completely defeated and are easily captured.
From the other party sent so many powerful monks as the front station, Xia Tian can see that Dongyi really wanted to seize this opportunity and eat the Daxia Dynasty well.
His face was a little gloomy, and a hint of anger accumulated in Xia Tian's heart, which slightly increased the speed of the army's movement.
Along the way, I never encountered such a spy with a strong cultivation level again. I came to Zhendongcheng smoothly. When I reached about ten miles, the army stopped.
Sitting on the dragon chariot, Xia Tian climbed up to look out and saw that the town east city was a bit broken. The extremely thick city walls showed many potholes, and the scene in the city was even more miserable. Some buildings with higher floors collapsed one after another.
Zhendongcheng is a solid city. Even if there is no intuitive impression in summer, today, I have seen the hugeness and hugeness of this city and the thickness of the city walls. I have learned a little bit. This city is definitely not a shoddy tofu project.
Regardless of the other hand, in terms of the layout of the city and the thickness and height of the city wall, Zhendongcheng is definitely not worse than the imperial capital. Moreover, although a few days have passed, summer can still see from some traces that there must be powerful formations laid in Zhendongcheng.
