Shennong Sequence

Chapter 282: Jinzhang Grassland is completely lost, reinforcements

In addition, the Jinzhang Grassland was originally a place developed by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Agriculture for the purpose of breeding rare and exotic animals and war beasts.

Most of the people working there are monks, so there are not many common people living there.

Therefore, the Jin Zhang Corps, together with the top military soul corps directly under the control of several royal families of the barbarians in Canglan Grassland, Zhuori Desert, Hanlin Wilderness, and Mingfo Ice Sea, quietly set out. After being defeated at the first battle, the remaining remnants of the Jin Zhang Corps evacuated using the large war flying boats of the Jin Zhang Corps to directly pull a group of monks for an emergency evacuation.

After all, they could not defend themselves. The number of the Barbarian Army Soul Corps that were everywhere was dozens of times greater than that of the army on the Jinzhang Grassland...

Moreover, the top military soul corps of the barbarians are much stronger than the Jinzhang Corps here in Jinzhang Grassland, which can only condense the military cloud evil spirit, so there is no need to fight...

So when this defeat occurred, they urgently gathered all kinds of beasts behind the Jinzhang Grassland, which had not yet been occupied by the barbarians, and fought and retreated... In the end, they retreated back to the Yanshan Mountains and back to the large area defended by many cities on the border of Beiliang.

Therefore, in this blitzkrieg that lasted just three days, the barbarians suddenly exerted their strength, directly causing the front line of Beiliang Border Continent to be in a state of minor collapse.

The entire Jinzhang grassland was occupied, about two-fifths of the Beiliang border island was lost, and the rest of the area was struggling to maintain the existing emergency state.

After hearing this news, Zhao Yun's mentality changed slightly:
The contempt for the barbarians turned into respect!

And as we had already known, the Great Zhou Dynasty had also sent a Taoist master to transform the small world discovered by Bai Zhan into a cave and a place suitable for training troops.

This is enough to show how much importance the Divine Dynasty attaches to that small world.

And now, in addition to the forces of Canglan Grassland, there are several other major barbarian forces attacking together. Such an urgent situation may naturally disrupt this plan.

And the subsequent situation was beyond Zhao Yun's expectations.

At this time, the Great Zhou urgently dispatched two military soul legions to stop the barbarian coalition forces that continued to attack the remaining Beiliang border islands in the Jinzhang grassland.

Afterwards, various forces began to surround the entrance to that small world, fighting for it...

So the great blitzkrieg war broke out in an instant; after three days, it returned to silence and calm; after five days, it returned to a stalemate balance again...

The information Zhao Yun obtained here are also some delayed news among the most important information.

But even this information is enough to burst out enough information!

At the very least, the Northern Army of the Great Zhou, which had been showing off its might for hundreds of years, was suddenly defeated and stunned.

There have obviously been some new changes in the various things they had planned before in Canglan Grassland.

Each party is calculating against the other and taking advantage of the other...

After all, no one is a real fool. How do you know whether the plan you think is clever is just part of someone else's plan?

Just like now, the alliance of the military families and farming families in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty has linked together the figures of various sects such as Confucianism, Legalism, Nominalism, Diplomacy, Gongshu School, etc., and wants to start an offensive war with the northern barbarians in the Canglan grassland, and then achieve the goals of all parties!

So, before, in the summer of this year, the Great Zhou directly blocked all the clouds that were drifting towards the Canglan Grassland!
This caused the entire Canglan grassland to suffer severe droughts in summer and autumn.

Most of the livestock on the grasslands had no grass to eat, which led to famine and other phenomena...

This is why we have the situation in the autumn and winter today, when these northern barbarians on the vast grassland, including the Barbarian King and his eight Golden Tent tribes, as well as the coalition forces composed of many different tribes of all sizes, are attacking the border islands of Beiliang.

And this was originally what the northern military families of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the people from various sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty who jointly formulated this plan had expected.

But these northern barbarians in the Canglan grassland are not stupid. How could they not know that not a drop of rain has fallen in the Canglan grassland throughout the entire summer? Is this an abnormal natural phenomenon or a man-made situation?
How could they not investigate?

But in the end, from the information Zhao Yun obtained, it seemed that in the Canglan grassland, whether it was the Barbarian King's clan, the eight Golden Horde tribes, or some other large tribes under them, none of them had any extreme reaction.

On the contrary, the small tribes at the bottom of the country, due to the lack of sufficient rain and the lack of grass in the pastures, a large number of livestock died, which led to many tribes attacking each other, being ruined, and slaves everywhere...

It seems more like the barbarians used the Great Zhou to sort out the lower classes, and then they were united by the Barbarian King, who took advantage of this situation to arouse the revenge psychology of most of the barbarians in the Canglan Grassland, leading to the current situation of the mighty army attacking.

However, these situations were also expected by the northern military families, as well as military strategists, agriculturalists, Confucianists, legalists, famous scholars, and strategists, etc.

What was unexpected was that the Canglan Grassland Barbarian King clan had now contacted the kings in other barbarian territories at some point, and even quietly mobilized the top military soul corps of the northern barbarians in other barbarian territories.

This was something that the Great Zhou had not anticipated before, or rather, they had not anticipated that the military soul corps in other barbarian territories might appear in the early stages of the war. However, they had anticipated that the top military soul corps in other barbarian territories and large tribes might appear in the late stages of the war.

But no one expected that in the early stages of the war, the Barbarian King of Canglan Grassland would directly play his trump card.

This led to the defeat at the Beiyuan Shensha Pass on the border of Beiliang Continent of Great Zhou and the complete rout on the Jinzhang Grassland. Great Zhou was also forced to transfer two military soul corps from the inner continent to be deployed in the Yanshan defense line at the junction of the hinterland of Beiliang Continent that had not been conquered by the barbarians and the Jinzhang Grassland to prevent the barbarian coalition army from continuing to attack.

So this is also a calculation made by all parties, but there are deeper routines in the calculations.

When one side is caught off guard, it is a direct defeat. Fortunately, although the sudden attack by the joint military soul corps of the barbarian tribes caused the heavy loss of Beiliang Bianzhou, the northern military honor families of the Great Zhou were also well prepared and had already considered the possibility of loss.

Therefore, even when the troops had an absolute advantage in the previous confrontation with the Canglan Grassland, they had already deduced the possibility of defeat, and there were still spare military soul corps that had not been deployed.

When the Jinzhang Grassland was lost, these reserve military soul corps were pulled up and temporarily resisted the trend of defeat. They barely reached a new balance with the northern barbarian forces on the Canglan Grassland.

In addition, the overall combat power of the barbarian united army is more than what it is now.

The Barbarian King of Canglan Grassland only mobilized the tribal forces in the entire Canglan Grassland, while the barbarian forces in other major barbarian territories only mobilized some of the top military soul legions to come for support.

The other miscellaneous soldiers, or the troops that could condense military evil energy, had not been mobilized to the Canglan grassland.

After all, if those miscellaneous troops dared to move, the Great Zhou would definitely receive the news sent back by the spies, and would not have been hit by a blitzkrieg like it is now on the border of Beiliang.

But overall, the main battlefield is still the Great Zhou and Canglan Grassland.

As for the rest of the forces in the barbarian territories, they only sent some support to the Military Soul Corps, instead of giving out all their assets to fully support the Canglan Grassland Barbarian King clan to recover the lost territory.

Therefore, Zhao Yun reorganized all the information he knew about the front lines.

After getting this information, I also realized the heavy responsibility of logistics, which must continue to increase!

Especially when it comes to food and drink, the supply for the soldiers on the front line must be indispensable.

Because once there is a food shortage, it means that the logistics supply is insufficient, which will immediately cause panic on the front line...

Therefore, Zhao Yun asked the two landowners of the No. 3 field under his name, Hou Jingfu and Jingtian, to supervise their subordinates to farm the land seriously.

In addition, I also went to the Beast Taming and Meat Department.

Although we had previously planned to expand production, stabilizing food supply is definitely the top priority now.

So, we can continue to prepare for expansion, but as to whether it will actually be implemented?
That depends on whether the front line can be stabilized, and a decision should be made based on a specific analysis of the specific situation.

In addition, although the situation outside is tense, the war is going back and forth.

But they are also in a state of dynamic balance and equal strength.

Most of the small-scale local conflicts began with offensive and defensive battles centered on the newly discovered small world, with each side winning and losing in a back-and-forth confrontation.

Therefore, after Zhao Yun took the time to manage his departments, he also turned his attention to the small world that Bai Zhan, the governor of the Beida City barracks, had mentioned before.

As for that small world, it has been fought back and forth between the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty and the top legions under the Canglan Grassland Barbarian King. And since the focus of the battle between the two sides is on this place... then there must be some special situation in this small world!

Otherwise, how could this small world have just discovered that the barbarian king clan of the Canglan grassland was so spectacular and suddenly persuaded the barbarian kings in the other barbarian territories to mobilize their top military soul corps to help, and even launched a blitzkrieg without any moral principles, captured the Jinzhang grassland, and fought all the way to the periphery of this small world?
Obviously, when this small world opened to the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, the Canglan Grassland Barbarian King clan was able to sense it!
Then the Barbarian King was afraid that the Great Zhou had discovered something, so he changed his original plan to march south, and hurriedly gathered people from other barbarian territories to attack.

It was not like before, where only the Barbarian King clan from the Canglan Grassland, together with the eight Golden Tent tribes, and other small tribes and slaves, attacked from the Beiyuan Shensha Pass and the Chici Volcano Pass on the border.

Obviously, the things involved in the small world are closely related to the secrets of the Barbarian King clan of Canglan Grassland.

But now, the small world, whether in the hands of the Great Zhou or the Barbarian King, is in a state of being handed back and forth, and cannot be settled at all.

What if you want to enter the small world and see what is going on inside?

That is of course very difficult!
After all, all the armies are there, and the top-level army, the Soul Army, is also guarding there. Who dares to go in easily...

Perhaps, just as Master Longze Zhenjun said before, there might really be some auspicious beasts such as real dragon cubs or real dragon eggs in this small world!
Otherwise, why would the Canglan Grassland Barbarian King clan, known as the Dragon Clan of the Earth, be so nervous about the sudden appearance of this small world that they would even pay a huge price to get the Barbarian Kings in other territories to agree to dispatch troops to help them fight for this small world?
However, Zhao Yun is now considering those things in the long term.

Nowadays, the legions of both the Great Zhou and the Northern Barbarians around the small world are not at peace and are still in a state of fighting with each other.

We need to wait until the two sides have a real winner in the battle, or when the top leaders of both sides have some conversation and reach some agreement, then the area around the small world will probably be truly settled!

"What a pity. Now it seems that the small world is probably a small powder keg. But Master Longze really wants me to go in, and he uses the characteristics of the divine spiritual realm to help this master go in as well, saying that I can gain some great benefits from it."

“But it still feels a little dangerous!”

"In addition, Master Long Ze said that he could help me refine this fifth-level Tyrant Dragon Soldier Puppet before entering that small world."

"But the energy required to drive this fifth-level Tyrant Dragon Warrior is probably not just the two thousand strands of mana in my Dantian that can support it."

"Especially before entering that small world, I have to get some spirit stones as a reserve energy source. At least at the critical moment, I have to let this fifth-order Tyrant Dragon Soldier Puppet to exert the power of the first level and fifth level to shock the people around. That is the opportunity to turn danger into safety at the critical moment!"
