Chapter 18: The Battle of the North and the South (Part I)

When the cold wind blew off the dead leaves of the last plane tree, the first winter snow also arrived, and the entire palace was covered with a layer of white makeup. In Fengluo Garden, Jiang Chen's upper body clothes were gone, and he was standing in the cold and windy winter, and there were two women standing next to him, one big and one small, watching the young man play a set of boxing techniques, it was the technique of "Five Elephant Refining Body", which actually had a bit of the momentum of Qin Kunxiao's drill that day, Zhao Qin'er and Xiangming looked at Jiang Chen's dragon leaping posture, and there was white mist coming out of their bodies, waiting until Jiang Chen finished playing "Dragon Elephant Refining Body" nine times After that, Xiangming hurriedly took the towel that had been prepared a long time ago and stepped forward to help Jiang Chen dry the sweat beads to prevent the wind and cold from entering his body, but he found that Jiang Chen had grown a lot taller, and he was almost at his shoulder. Zhao Qin'er didn't say anything to stop it, but there was some distress in her eyes, and after watching Jiang Chen wipe away the beads of sweat, she began to train the body refining method taught by Yue Qianming, and beckoned Xiangming and the two to return to the main hall of Fengluo Garden, and the two also began to cultivate.

After returning from the Zhenbei Shenjiang Mansion that night, Zhao Qin'er thought carefully about how to protect the people around her, and finally thought about it, it was better to let them have the power to protect themselves, so she helped Xiangming to explore her spiritual aperture, but she didn't expect that this girl's spiritual aperture was all connected, although she couldn't see the grade, but she could cultivate. Because what he practiced was a unique exercise for the royal family, he couldn't pass it on, so he taught Xiangming a medium- and high-level spiritual practice that he got when he traveled to the mainland with Jiang Chen Zhao Qin'er later borrowed the spirit stone from Zhao Lingyun, and carefully checked it for Xiang Ming, but found that this girl was indeed a water spirit vein, or a mid-grade spirit vein at the ground level, and couldn't help but call this girl's luck good, Xiang Ming's cultivation has also been some time, and she has cultivated to the seventh layer of the Na Ling Realm, Xiang Ming feels the benefits of cultivation, and it is even more every day, in addition to dealing with daily affairs, the rest of the time is used to cultivate.

Unlike the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of Fengluoyuan, the northern and southern borders of the Zhao Xin clan and the Jin and Xia countries never stopped. Let's talk about the war in the south first, after Qin Kongyu rushed to the south, according to the information given by Zhao Lingyun, he first captured Han Qixing, the guard of Qianzhu Town, and Zhang Qi, the guard of Niutou Mountain, and cut them down for the crime of betraying confidential military information, and then began to adjust the defense line。 Qin Kongyu had to lead the troops to retreat to continue to strengthen the defense line, set up a heavy defense in the pass under Jin Chengxiong, after seven days of sleepless running and finally stabilized the defense line, it was only after Zhao Lingyun said that the dark Xuan army arrived, began to counterattack, but found that Jin Chengxiong had signs of leading the troops to retreat, so he ordered to send troops to entangle Jin Chengxiong, but he did not expect to be ambushed, and was counterattacked back by Jin Chengxiong, the 150,000 Wuqing Bird Army under the leadership of 10,000 Tiefutu as the vanguard, broke through several passes in the south like a bamboo, and the southern defense line almost collapsed, Qin Kongyu finally gathered heavy troops in the area of Longshan Pass to contain Jin Chengxiong's offensive, When the 20,000 Dark Xuan Army arrived on the fifteenth day, under the cooperation of the inside and outside, they finally achieved the first victory on the battlefield in the south, eliminating 50,000 Wuqingque Army and about 3,000 Tiefu Tu Army, the situation in the south finally entered a period of calm, and Jin Chengxiong did not retreat, according to a dangerous border city in the south, the two armies began to enter the confrontation, both looking for loopholes in the other party's defense, Qin Kongyu finally put down his pride, listened to the opinions of his subordinates, and no longer ventured.

And the 20,000 Dark Xuan Army disappeared under the leadership of an iron-faced iron armor, even Qin Kongyu didn't know where it went, the two armies had no subordinate relationship, Qin Kongyu didn't know where the Dark Xuan Army came from, only knew that the Dark Xuan Army directly accepted Zhao Lingyun's orders, and only accepted Zhao Lingyun's dispatch, the commander only left a sentence When they were needed to appear, they would naturally appear, and then the 20,000 people seemed to disappear out of thin air, and Jin Chengxiong went around to investigate the amazing combat force, but he also found nothing, so he didn't dare to attack rashly, he could only wait for the opportunity, and the time entered until winter, although there was always some small-scale friction between the two sides, but it was only tentative, and neither side dared to launch a large army to attack the other.

The situation in the north is different from that in the south, and the north is even colder than the south when winter has entered at this time. At that time, after Yue Qianming arrived in the north, he also first sent Feng Siyuan, Huo Jiacheng, When Yue Qianming led the army to contact the Xia Geng national soldiers, he immediately found that something was wrong, because this was not the main force of the Xia Geng clan at all, but the standing garrison of various places in the Xia Geng clan, and it was only a battle to withdraw to the border of the Xia Geng clan, only to see where the 130,000 main forces led by Li Deming were, and sent a whole detachment named Yong in the military special forces under his command to investigate the news, but still could not find the trace of the 130,000 horses, as if they disappeared out of thin air in the north, until four days later, there were Bai Po Mountain guards covered in blood to ask for help, Yue Qianming rushed to goYue Qianming re-strengthened the defense line of Baipo Mountain, and he also stayed behind to prevent Li Deming from going and returning, Yue Qianming spilled out the ten detachments of the special forces of the armed forces this time, and it was necessary to find out the whereabouts of the team of more than 100,000 people.

There has been no news for several days, and when the Dark Xuan Army arrived, it still did not find out where Li Deming's 130,000 army was stationed, and the leader of the Dark Xuan Army saw that there was no large-scale battle, and disappeared. Yue Qianming had to think of strengthening the defense of each border fortress, but Li Deming attacked a few more border fortresses as if he was out of nowhere, Yue Qianming already understood Li Deming's intentions, he wanted to make himself tired, punched himself into serious injuries, and then swallowed himself in one bite, what a big appetite, although he had already understood Li Deming's strategic intentions, because there were traitors who betrayed the deployment map, then Li Deming knew the reality of the northern border defense well, and constantly launched attacks on the defense loopholes. Although Yue Qianming understood Li Deming's strategic intentions, he could not find any trace of the troops led by Li Deming, so he could only redeploy the defensive line while using the strategy of luring the enemy, but it did not work at all against Li Deming, and Yue Qianming could not do anything about it, so he could only urge the special forces to seize the time to find out Li Deming's traces.

It turned out that the team was patrolling near a fortress attacked by Li Deming's troops, and heard the sound of shouting and hurriedly rushed over, and the captain of the team did not order his subordinates to go to support the fortress, but he had been guarding in the dark, and when Li Deming's troops retreated, they began to track the troops who had just experienced a victory and relaxed their vigilance, so immediately sent someone to report to Yue Qianming, after Yue Qianming opened the map, looking at the place name marked with the name of the Demon Snake Mountain, Yue Qianming also knew some of the situation of that mountain, the strategic location of this mountain in the north is not obvious, the karst caves in the mountain are staggered and densely packed like the demon snake passing through during the period, and because the soil is crisp and loose will collapse at any time, there are often soldiers and local hunting people fall into it, and finally even the bones can not be found, even if the army enters it, it is dangerous and abnormal, and there will be a danger of annihilation of the whole army at any time, this place is naturally ignored by Yue Qianming。 Yue Qianming couldn't help but secretly scold himself for being stupid, he should have thought of this place earlier, only this place could hide Li Deming's hundreds of thousands of troops, but I don't know how Li Deming solved the problem of the army getting lost and collapsing, but this is no longer important, since he has found his traces, then the rest is to have the final say.

Yue Qianming immediately recalled all the members of the Wudui Special Squad, let all the 300 members of the Wudui Special Squad, and led 4,000 soldiers to guard all the known exit positions of Snake Cave Mountain, ambushed a wave of 10,000 exterminating troops sent by Li Deming to attack the northern border, and gathered heavy troops to surround the Demon Snake Mountain, first burned the entire mountain with fire, but Li Deming's troops who did not see it came out, and then asked the 100-person spiritual team equipped by the military department to cooperate with the Wudu Special Team to start searching the mountain, only to find more than 1,000 corpses of Xia Geng's national soldiers, and finally found a dry underground river channel in the largest karst cave in this Demon Snake Mountain, and finally traced along the riverYue Qianming thought that Li Deming must have led the army to retreat to Xia Geng's country, and then ordered someone to raze the entire Demon Snake Mountain to the ground, fill in the river, and build another observation post near this in order to prevent Li Deming from making a comeback again.

Although the defense line in the north did not suffer any major losses, and the Xia Geng clan only lost more than 10,000 exterminating troops, Yue Qianming did not complete the task assigned to him by Zhao Lingyun, and crippled the 30,000 red flame wolf horses of the Xia Geng clan.

In this way, let Li Deming return to the Xia Geng clan, Yue Qianming was indeed very unwilling in his heart, and sent scouts to investigate Li Deming's movements, and the scouts reported that Li Deming was only stationed in the White Leaf City of the Xia Geng Clan, and Baiye City, as an important border city of the Xia Geng Clan, had 40,000 defenders on weekdays when there was no war, and now Li Deming is stranded here and I don't know what his intentions are, does he still want to try whether the blades of my northern soldiers are good enough?

Yue Qianming was in Binghai City at this time, looking at the mountains at the border, the northern border at this time was already covered by ice and snow, and he didn't dare to relax in this kind of bad weather, so Li Deming had been in Baiye City and did not return to the imperial capital of Xia Geng's country, there must be some plan, and now the border line of the entire Xia Geng country is even more strictly guarded, and he can't enter or exit at all, so he can't find any news at all, so he can only wait helplessly, Yue Qianming doesn't believe that Li Deming will lead such a large number of generals this time to end with such a small fight, without understanding the other party's intentions, Yue Qianming still decided to brake quietly, and see the other party's reaction before deploying, just let people stare at the movements of Baiye City and the other side stoppers of the Xia Geng Clan.
