Chapter 419 Northern Expedition
The mighty Cangjiang River flows eastward, and sails stand like a forest on the broad river.

Looking down from the mountain, countless ant-like people were walking in neat lines towards a ship and being taken to the north bank of the river.

Is this a large-scale war in the cold weapon era? As expected, it is completely different from what is shown in TV series and movies. This kind of momentum created by a large number of people cannot be compared to the hundreds or thousands of extras and computer special effects.

Just looking at it like this, people can't help but feel an unprecedented ambition from the bottom of their hearts.

Yu Yuhui looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

Suddenly, there was a burst of noise not far away
Looking around, under the protection of two teams of elite soldiers, several old men wearing official uniforms of the Ministry of Industry were displaying their magical powers on a hill by the river.

I saw a long black stick like a chopstick that was getting thicker, longer, thicker, and longer. Finally, it fell over and hit the other side of the river. With a huge roar, it turned into A dark bridge across the river.

The river water kept lapping at the bridge body, and the whole bridge looked a little swaying, but it was obviously not broken or washed away by the river water. Coupled with the slightly higher terrain, it actually became a temporary cross-river bridge!

Soon, groups of soldiers were ordered to step onto the bridge, stumbling and staggering towards Jiangbei. Although the bridge was narrow and could only walk in the middle, the efficiency was no slower than those of the ships.

Is this the power of the earthly evil power [Big and Small Ruyi]? It is indeed extraordinary. Such power is definitely not comparable to those ordinary two-word magical powers!

That’s it for the immortals in the novels about cultivating immortals! It's no wonder that the Lu family has been able to control the Ministry of Industry for so many years. Such magical power is indeed irreplaceable. It has great advantages in construction projects. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a strategic level.

I seem to have heard that a player successfully entered the Lu family and became a son-in-law. I wonder if he can successfully obtain this magical power...

"Okay! Let's set off too!"

While Yu Yuhui was sighing, the superior of the Shangguan family next to him also issued an order. He was the third son of Shangguan's family. He was usually a playboy, but now he was wearing armor and acting as a general, and he had a rather heroic spirit.

Soon, the Shangguan family's private troops all lined up to board the Shangguan family's flag ship and arrived in Jiangbei very smoothly.

As expected, the crossing went very smoothly without any attack. It was obvious that none of the five barbarians had any intention of blocking them.

Looking at the orange-red phoenix hovering in the sky, it is not difficult to guess what the barbarians are thinking. No matter how stupid a person is, they will not use flesh and blood to resist the flames of the phoenix.

Sure enough, according to the current situation, the analysis office's prediction is correct. This Northern Expedition will go very smoothly and the damage will not be great. The key lies in the distribution of benefits after the war.

The journey after crossing the river was unexpectedly smooth. Although we passed several dangerous passes on the way, without exception, they were all in an undefended state. They simply blocked the city gates or destroyed the roads. There was not a single barbarian. Guard blocks.

Fortunately, as the private soldiers of the Shangguan family, Yu Yuhui's team is used as a supplement to the Royal Guards. They usually guard outside the Chinese army and do not have to work as hard as the soldiers who open the road. They need to move stones to build roads and cut down trees. Building the bridge was very easy all the way.

It's just that physically it's relaxing, but mentally it's the complete opposite.

On the way north, what Yu Yuhui saw the most were the vast tracts of deserted fields and regular ridges. The originally square fields were now covered with weeds, and in some lush areas there were even half a dozen people growing there. high. The same goes for the city on the road. After removing the stones blocking the door and entering, no one can be seen. The windows are upside down and the doors are down. The houses are dilapidated and the streets are deserted. Only some old blood stains can be seen on some walls. Weathered bones.

This road feels like walking in no man's land, making people feel as if there is a big stone weighing heavily on their heart.

Yu Yuhui has done well in studies since he was a child, especially Chinese and history. He has read a lot of words and phrases such as the bones are exposed in the wild and there is no rooster crowing for a thousand miles. But now, those words and phrases have been materialized, truly and truly displayed. in front of him.

A group has gathered in Jianya Village, and there are several other related settlements. The total number of large and small is only one hundred thousand people. What about the others in the north? Why can't I see anyone after walking for so many days?

Isn't it estimated based on household registration records that there are nearly 40 million people in the five northern states? Where have they gone now? Even if Jie Man eats people and Ghost Qiang refines their souls, they can't consume so many people, right?

Yu Yuhui observed the other soldiers under his command. At first, the journey went smoothly, and there were many happy and lucky faces on their faces. However, after such a long march, everyone's faces were obviously more solemn, and many of them frowned. wrinkle.

Even the third young master who spent a lot of time in a brothel became much more taciturn, and would even practice his family's martial arts a few times when he stopped to repair.

It was obvious that everyone was holding back anger and eager to vent it out.

It's a pity that the company has been marching for more than half a month and has recovered almost two states, but there is still no trace of a barbarian, which makes people have nowhere to use their energy.

There are already rumors among the Northern Expedition that the barbarians have fled north after killing all their people. The big shots above are discussing whether to chase them to the grassland, but most people choose to recover their lost territory and recuperate first instead of going there. Expedition to the vast grassland.

This is also something that is easy to understand. The barbarians are afraid of the two Tiangang-level phoenixes, and the northern grassland is too huge. It is too difficult and costly to catch all the fleeing barbarians and make them pay with blood.

Even Emperor Wu, who carried the power of the three dragons to the north, didn't he return to the court after breaking through the barbarian royal court? Continuing to conquer the north is not worth the loss.

It is said that Emperor Feng has not expressed his position yet, but has been urging the march.

Yu Yuhui has also taken several strategic analysis classes at the Institute of Analysis in the past few days. The teacher in the class analyzed that the current best solution is for Emperor Feng to leave the army with two phoenixes, directly pursue the barbarians fleeing north, and try his best to kill the barbarians. , not asking for death, but asking for severe damage, so as to ensure peace for the next hundreds of years and prevent Feng Emperor from being invaded again by barbarians after his death.

Unfortunately, since going north, Emperor Feng and the two phoenixes have been staying in the Chinese army's tent with no intention of going out, making it unclear what she is thinking.

Marching is boring and boring, and it is often necessary to arrange night watch patrols. The constant shifts along the way have disrupted Yu Yuhui's biological clock in reality. Sometimes he sleeps during the day, sometimes at night, and sometimes he can only wake up three or four times a day. For hours, it was miserable.

Fortunately, the latest information was pushed over by the garrison APP.

The barbarians did not flee north blindly. After they fled to the original imperial capital, they stopped and began to repair the city defenses and build large formations. It seemed that they wanted to use the terrain of the imperial capital to fortify the city and defend the city for a decisive battle.
