I put away the information in my hand, reached out and took out a map of the Chuyun Empire.
The scale of this map is very large, and only the larger mountains, rivers, Tu Road and cities are marked. Those villages are not marked at all, but it is still better than nothing.
"Leader Qi Lin, our operational goal at this stage is to capture Cloudrise Eastern Region and cut off the logistics supply of Chu Yun Rebels."
My eyes fell on Cloudrise Eastern Region, I looked at it intently, pointed a point on the map, made some gestures, and said:
"Now we are at this location, the southernmost section of Cloudrise Northern Region, and further forward is the dividing line between Cloudrise Northern Region and Eastern Border - Qi River."
As for why all dividing lines are mountains or rivers?
Because the division of land boundaries is originally based on the "mountain and river shape", that is, the trend of mountains and rivers.
This is to ensure that there will be no mountains or rivers within a region that will block the trade and exchanges of residents in the region.
"Chief Qi Lin, can you Snake-People Tribe... be able to swim directly past Qi River?"
I looked down at the map. Although the drawing on the map is not very clear, it can be used as the dividing line between the two realms. This "Qi River" must be a Vast River.
For Human Race, this kind of big river can only be crossed by boat or Pontoon Bridge. But Snake-People Tribe, don't they have tails?
I couldn't help but have some fantasies. If I could get through the Qi River first, and then attack Chu Yun Rebels to defend Qi River from behind, I would surely win by surprise!
But Qi Lin's words broke my fantasy. She looked at me like I was an idiot and said, "Tagor is short of water. Every drop of water is precious. Why do you think my people can swim?"
Well, although Snake-People has a tail, it is a group of landlubbers living in the desert...
Since this method doesn't work, we still have to return to the original method of crossing the river by ferry. The nearest ferry to us is two hundred miles away - Qianqi Ferry!
The so-called "ferry" refers to a place where the water flow is gentle. Large rivers have always been unruly, and the same is true for the Qi River. Large sections of rivers have complex hydrology, with rapid water flow, surging undercurrents, or whirlpools.
These river sections are impossible to cross, and the boat will capsize if not careful.
So at this time, a ferry with gentle water flow, a dock, a dock, and a large number of boats and boatmen is extremely important!
I stared down at the map, looked carefully, and found that there was a city on each side of the north and south banks of Qianqi Ferry Crossing.
North Bank is named "Qian City" and belongs to Cloudrise Northern Region; South Bank is named "Qi City" and belongs to Cloudrise Eastern Region.
It's a pity that the ferry is extremely important. North Bank's "Qian City" has long been attacked by Chu Yun Rebels and controlled by Qianqi Ferry. Both the northern and southern cities of Qianqi Ferry are in the hands of Chu Yun Rebels, which is a bit troublesome.
"What's the trouble?"
Qi Lin looked at Qian City, smiled contemptuously, and said, "It's just a third-level small town, but my army of 100,000 can destroy it with just a wave of my hand!"
I shook my head hastily. This kind of carelessness is absolutely unacceptable. We still have to be in awe of war.
I pointed my finger at another Tier Three Main City "Le City" forty miles northeast of Qian City, and said, "Qi Lin leader, it would be better to send Xing Army to capture this city first, and then use this city as a springboard to attack Qian City southward."
Qi Lin refused to listen, because Le City was not on the marching route of this army. If they wanted to attack Le City, they would undoubtedly have to take a detour to the northeast.
She was eager to show her results to Yue Mei, and was not willing to waste any more time. Her eyes swept over "Le City", then landed on Qian City, and shouted:
"An order was sent to three thousand Xing Army, ordering them to arrive at Qian City before sunset today, clear the obstacles outside Qian City early tomorrow morning, and set up camp. When ten thousand Zhong Army arrive the day after, they can attack the city together."
I was annoyed for a while. Will this Qi Lin be able to fight? How could anyone underestimate the enemy and advance rashly?
Now we don't know anything about Qian City. How many defenders are there? How high and thick is the city wall? What if Qian City cannot be defeated or is defeated?
There is no stable station in the rear, and when the time comes to retreat, we don't know where to retreat!
But after all, I didn't have military power, so I had to suppress the anger in my heart and said, "Qi Lin leader, at least... you have to send a partial force to capture Qian City, right?"
There were already Snake-People soldiers passing on Qi Lin's Military Order. She looked down at the map, imagining that she would soon be able to break through Qian City, cross Qi River, and then occupy the entire Cloudrise Eastern Region...
Qi Lin has a bright smile on his face. When the time comes, my sister will definitely be very happy!
Moreover, the troops she led were all from the Mei Snake Tribe and its vassal tribes. Once Cloudrise Eastern Region was conquered, this land naturally belonged to the Mei Snake Tribe.
With this fertile land, the tribesmen no longer have to worry about lack of food, and the rich products also allow the Neng tribe to breed more offspring.
When the number of clan members increases, the number of clan members with good talents will naturally increase. When they grow up, Snake-People Tribe will have more strong people.
With more strong men, Snake-People Tribe can seize more land and resources and cultivate more strong men...
Thinking about this wonderful future, Qi Lin smiled happily and felt much better. Finally he was willing to listen to my advice, waved and said:
"You Human Race are really troublesome. Since you insist on doing this, you can lead a partial army to capture Le City tomorrow."
Looking at her appearance, it seems that I can benefit from attacking Le City. Am I not doing it to provide a guarantee for the army?
After receiving the Qi Lin promise, I was too lazy to stay here any longer, so I left directly and said angrily:
"Cai Lin, that little Snake Woman in your clan is so stupid!"
The voice of Cai Lin sounded in her mind. She smiled softly and said, "Your Excellency, I think Qi Lin is very innocent."
I sneered and said, "Innocent? This is war! Let her command one hundred thousand Snake-People, Yue Mei, aren't you afraid that her army will be annihilated?"
Cai Lin immediately said, "With Your Excellency here, how could Qi Lin be defeated? He must be victorious in every battle and be unstoppable - Yue Mei must have thought so too."
Hearing Cai Lin praise me, I felt a lot better. I laughed and didn't bother to think about the troubles just now.
After returning to the carriage, I felt a little excited again. According to what Qi Lin said, I will lead a partial army to attack Le City tomorrow...
If you think about it carefully, this is my first time to officially lead the army in combat, right?
The battle outside Stone Desert City that killed Cai Lin was commanded by Guardian Elder, and the battle outside Fox Pass...
Feeling the emotions in my heart, I suddenly understood Qi Lin's emotions. It was also her first time to lead a team in a battle, so she must be very excited, right?
But I didn't expect that when I went to find Qi Lin after sunrise the next day, she became even more excited, while I was left with a face full of shock.
"Nalan Ye, Qian City were captured by the Xing Army last night!"
