Chapter 650 Mobilization Before the War
Chapter 650 Pre-war mobilization
Although the path Li Chong chose seemed to be a dead end and was even more dangerous than the other two paths, Li Chong had his own opinions.
Toray is extremely united and extremely xenophobic. Even within the country, they each have their own territory and are never invaded. Of course, the ways to communicate information are very limited. However, at this time, Toray and the Dayun Dynasty started a full-scale war, and all families were very concerned about the progress of the war, so more detailed works were sent to the junction of the two countries.
Li Chong could conclude that at this time, he led the Imperial Army to rush into Toray Kingdom, and these detailed works were immediately reported to their respective families. When foreign enemies invaded, these families would soon unite and resist together. Simply speaking, such strength seemed to be without any pickiness, and the two routes chosen by Shadow Guard One were definitely relatively safe routes, but it only required a hard struggle. It was simply to conquer each family before they could reach Kyoto. However, in terms of calculations, the 230,000 Imperial Army led by Li Chong had no chance of rushing through the two channels that were heavily guarded.
In comparison, the shortest passage in the middle is only half a month away from Kyoto, and there are many towns along the way, and the family's strength is several times or even dozens of times that of other routes, but Li Chong discovered a loophole in it.
The loophole that Li Chong discovered was the problem of information connectivity mentioned by the Shadow Guard. There were few families in contact with each other, and it took some time from contact to preparation for war. The two routes proposed by Shadow Guard One were relatively long, and the path was difficult, which even set up obstacles for the Imperial Guard to move forward quickly. If the Imperial Guard really wanted to walk here, it would inevitably give those powerful families enough time to prepare. Not only that, if some heads of the family were smart enough, and in the face of foreign enemies, they might also invite private troops from other families to help, the dilemma faced by the Imperial Guard at that time would be even more unimaginable.
On the contrary, the reason why Li Chong was interested in the middle lane was because it was a straight route, and the distance was much shortened. The road here was a straight and wide official road built. The Imperial Guard could fully utilize its fastest speed. Moreover, as Shadow Guard No. 1 said, Li Chong roughly estimated that even a large valve would take at least one day to get the news and prepare to fight the entire clan. This did not include some families that needed the elders to decide to pass, which gave Li Chong an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Hearing Li Chong's opinion, everyone nodded heavily. On the wide official road and between dense towns, the Imperial Guard would never take more than a day. In this way, as long as you drive straight in, at least the towns ahead will not have the ability to resist at all.
Listening to the discussions of Tang Mo and others, Li Chong looked at the map and pondered again. He was stunned for two hours.
Two hours later, when Li Chong woke up, Kong De had already led 200,000 imperial guards to Jiling City. Without Li Chong's orders, the imperial guards could not attack, but Kong De still made all imperial guards ready for attack at any time.
While Li Chong was thinking, Tang Mo and others had already explained Li Chong's plan roughly. As a general, Kong De heard Li Chong's detailed analysis, of course there was nothing to argue, and then nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Li Chong came to his senses and looked at the Imperial Guard who was already ready to go, and he smiled bitterly.
"I'm afraid a problem we overlooked is that although there is no connection between each other, these families will never be assured of the strength of the surrounding families. They must have done a detailed job hiding among the surrounding families. The reaction time of the previous two days is probably inaccurate. To be precise, it should be only one day's reaction time, perhaps shorter." Li Chong's expression was a little solemn. Although the news was not good and could not affect his plan, he still wanted to say it out and let everyone understand his plan.
Li Chong's words hit the nail on the head, and everyone was silent immediately. However, although they did not invade each other, they would definitely not be less necessary. If they did not even have this awareness, those heads of the family would not be able to command the first-class family.
"Have our route changed?" Kong De asked with a frown when he heard Li Chong's words.
He trained the Imperial Guard himself and led it for a long time. Although it is for the entire Dayun Dynasty, I don’t know how many of the 200,000 brothers can be alive. How could Kong De not be sad? He really doesn’t know whether he should tell the truth to these brothers.
"The plan remains unchanged and the route remains unchanged, but we may have really overcome all obstacles this time. Moreover, the information about the three major valves is the most informative, and their defense will be the most intense. Compared to it, it is really necessary to force the attack." Li Chong sighed slightly.
Li Chong has decided that everyone knows that this will not change. Everyone doesn’t say anything anymore, they just prepare everything for themselves and wait for Li Chong’s order to start.
"Brothers, we will conquer more than a dozen towns in a row this time. I believe everyone already knows the danger. I, Li Chong, don't want to deceive everyone. I sincerely tell you that this attack will last forever. There are probably not many people who can return to their hometown alive, so everyone must have the confidence to die. Of course, if there is that brother who cannot give up his hometown and his relatives, he can now withdraw. I swear by the heroes of the 30,000 brothers who died in the battle of Guating Ting City. I will never make things difficult for you, and give you enough reasons to return to Kyoto." Li Chong jumped lightly on the gatehouse in front of the city lord's mansion. Facing the 200,000 imperial guards, Li Chong was still his own idea. He would not hide his brothers. Even if he died, he would want everyone to die.
"Since I have come out, I have not thought of going back alive. The Imperial Guardian is the most elite army in the Dayun Dynasty. The brothers guarding the Tingcheng have set an example for us. Of course, we cannot insult the prestige of the Imperial Guardian."
"For our Dayun Chao and to achieve fame, so what if you die in battle?"
"Where is the country broken and the family is there? It is worth it to sacrifice this life for the sake of the family."
Li Chong's words immediately aroused the passion of all the Imperial Guards. Li Chong sincerely persuaded them, but no Imperial Guards walked out of the queue, and no Imperial Guards were afraid of death.
