Chapter 652: Lost Two After One
There is no greater irony in the world than the fact that the undead have a lifespan and die.
Thus, with the help of the power of cold, the Lich Queen of Liao created an immortal throne and bound herself to a holy relic, thus gaining eternity - a practice that Attila later imitated and bound herself to the Whip of God, gaining hundreds of years of longevity.
But the Lich Queen is undead, and the undead are very different from the Huns, and her prestige is established by strength rather than anything else.
Therefore, the Lich Queen's approach is more thorough, she can't interfere with the outside world, but within ten miles of that throne, she is the Sage, the Sage who has the home advantage, so the former Roman Empire was not able to completely conquer the Liao State.
And thousands of years have allowed the Lich Queen to delve into many thaumaturgy, one of which is to distribute the power she has nurtured to a puppet and let it go out to fight for herself.
That's right, the current Duke of Frost is this puppet.
I have to say that the Liao State is a country that coexists with irony, in addition to the essence of the undead, their core must be made with the living people of their own country.
Do not understand?
It means that in addition to living undead people, there are also living people living in the territory of Liao, and those living people will be transformed into immortal cores after death, and people outside Liao can only be transformed into undead monsters, and they can't be transformed into cores, if they can be transformed into cores, it is not a miracle, but that person was originally a spy sent by Liao.
The dove occupies the magpie's nest - the living royal family of the Liao State has the habit of sending their children and grandchildren to foreign countries to experience, and the weakest of them will be selected as a puppet, and then this puppet will become the only nobleman of the Liao Kingdom, and walk the world on behalf of the Lich Queen.
You may have noticed that this only puppet nobleman is distinguished by the traditional title of Duke Bozinan, after all, the weakest person selected does not necessarily match the strength of the Lich Queen, so sometimes weak puppets with only seven orders of strength and only representing the queen's will appear.
However, this time, the Liao Kingdom can be regarded as picking up a treasure, this is the duke who has appeared for the first time in the thousands of years of history of the undead, and his strength has rarely reached the eighth-order intermediate level, and if the frost dragon soul is stimulated, it can be matched to the eighth-order advanced in terms of magic power. For this reason, the Lich Queen ignited her ambition with other subject countries, gave him a large number of troops, and gave him the strongest emperor of the Liao Kingdom, the "Eternal Frozen Sun".
Of course, as a puppet, it is naturally impossible for him to retain his personality - in theory.
"I will be king. ”
But theories often contradict facts, at least in the eyes of the Liao.
Ice Dragon Duke Yelu Manjushri, not to mention Xiao Zhenlong's consciousness, is no longer even a puppet, but has given birth to a third personality that is different from the first two.
"Death to all who stand in my way!"
Dragging the thorn of the ice sun, the half-dragon, half-human undead duke rushed out.
It's like a wild beast running wild.
And then—
Tear everything apart.
……
"How did you end up here?"
Yue Fei didn't want to participate in this battle, but his passive defense had already been greatly dissatisfied with many people, and with the defeat of the head of the Tong family, Heluo Sijia and Yue Fei completely turned their faces, and forcibly took their headquarters out of the city to respond to the battle.
Yes, Yue Fei was mentally prepared to bear all the infamy, but the others had no such intentions, they still did not forget their glory in Yue Jianghong's era, and the fame and worship that glory brings.
Now Xie Haoran is killing all sides in the east, and his fame is shocking the world, and their Yue family is ...... The Heluo army actually did nothing, and even the Tong family, one of the four families, lost a battle, laughing at the people of the world, how can this be endured!
Of course, they didn't understand the truth that they had to rely on victory to wash away their stigma, but Yue Fei didn't give them a chance, they had to fight for it on their own!
The four families also took the overall situation into account, and only brought 60,000 soldiers to battle, but before they could reach the planned encirclement location, the Duke of Ice Dragon personally killed them.
"Don't panic, the number of enemies is not large!" After receiving the news from the intelligence officer, the army commanded, and Cai Yuan, the head of the Cai family, immediately transmitted the message to everyone.
It is true that the Liao State only brought 10,000 people with this raid, but-
"Death to those who stand in my way!"
The lower half of the dragon body is a dragon tail, and the upper body is an ice dragon duke with a human posture with blood-red eyes, and then he raised his hand, and the "eternal frozen sun" that never falls, and half of the soldiers of the squad are skewered. Under the furious gaze of the remaining teammates, he threw the five corpses behind with a flick of the thorn in the air, and quickly joined the queue of operations to transform into undead monsters.
"Kill, death can make us stronger!"
While killing people, let 10,000 cores transform corpses, no one would have imagined that he would use this kind of tactics.
If they knew that this was not just the intelligence that Tuoba Ming brought, but a tactic that had never appeared in the entire history of Liao.
"Don't be afraid, consume him, we can win. Cai Yuan said urgently.
Victory?Everyone couldn't help but wonder, indeed, the Duke of Ice Dragon seemed to be disregarding his strength, even if he dealt with small soldiers, he also went into battle himself, but that existence that perfectly combined wildness and brutality could really be defeated?
If it is Lord Yue Jianghong who leads the team, it is okay, the heads of the four major families can really lead them to victory?
No, even if it was Lord Yue, he wouldn't be able to win, after all, he himself was killed by the Mongols......
A powerful enemy is not terrible, but what is terrible is the loss of self-confidence - of course, the four families are not all such stupid people.
"Damn, what are you doing? Wind Snow Mountain Temple!" Lin Yu rode out on a snow leopard, "After I come to break off, you guys quickly retreat!"
The work of guarding Xinlan ended with him following Gao Daiyue home, considering that Gao Daiyue is the heir, Lin Yu must be in the family, but with the merits of the civil war, and Xinlan supporting him, in the end, the Gao family became a dual-family head model, and in terms of actual conditions, this kind of thing of leading troops to fight, he is much more suitable than Gao Daiyue.
Some people may say that the four masters are out of the way in this operation, but from the perspective of Lin Yu and Gao Daiyue, this is a battle led by Xie Haoran and Xinlan, and there is no problem in terms of launch, they are just sorry for Yue Fei, and they did not expect the enemy to attack them first.
But it's too late to say anything now, and they should retreat quickly after missing the opportunity.
"That's right, Lord Cai Yuan, please make a decision. Gao Daiyue, who was covering Lin Yu from a distance, also said.
It's just that seeing these two people, Cai Yuan can't help but think of his daughter's humiliation by Lin Yu's repentance, but as the head of the Gao family and the most trusted of the four families in the imperial court now, he has to endure this breath. But even if he is made the main general, and he is pretended to let him continue to be the head of the four families, he will not forgive the two.
"The Gao family troops obeyed the order, you entangled the enemy's main general, and the others quickly cut off the enemy's wings. ”
Cai Yuan's orders are not completely impossible to implement, but he is essentially a civil official, a capable person who handles government affairs rather than a military strategist, and Lin Yu and Gao Daiyue's compromise and concession eventually led to the split of the four families.
"Kill those Gumeng people and avenge the head of the family!" The Tong family didn't say a word, and rushed forward, after losing the head of the family, who was not bad at the level, but was unlucky, the Tong family actually lost even the talent who had the ability to judge the situation.
"Is Cai Yuan crazy?" Although the Heluo Yang family, a distant relative of the Yang family in Jiangling, had the smallest number of people, they were not carried away by their emotions and judged the situation like the Gao family, so after persuading Cai Yuan to no avail, they turned around and fled.
"Damn, everyone retreats while fighting!" Lin Yu saw that the army was torn apart, so he had no choice but to order a retreat.
"Lin Yuxiao'er, how dare you disobey my orders?" Cai Yuan asked the Chinese army to stop the Gao family army who wanted to retreat.
"Uncle, now is not the time to be rash!" How could Lin Yu not know that he wanted to declare his personal vendetta.
"Fart, do our troops have a numerical advantage, it's exactly -"
Before he could finish speaking, a light like yang and snow swept by, separating Cai Yuan's head.
The Duke of Ice Dragon, who was still in the rear before, actually jumped high to the center of the two houses, and released the power of the emperor in the air, killing the defenseless Cai Yuan with one blow.
"The loneliness of death is the destination for you. ”
The blood-red pupils swept slightly, and everyone's blood seemed to freeze in an instant.
"Now under my command, the whole army retreats!"
In this way, the four families fled, but the Duke of Ice Dragon did not give up the pursuit and killing.
The defeat and escape of the Tong family was reproduced in the four families this time, until-
"That's it!"
Just as Lin Yu and Gao Daiyue were both knocked to the ground by the Ice Dragon Duke, a figure suddenly broke into the battlefield and kicked the Ice Dragon Duke fiercely.
A kick of steel.
"Yue Fei?" Lin Yu, who was struggling to get up, was surprised and delighted.
The same is true for the remnants of the four major families, they never thought that they would meet Yue Fei here, if it is said that the rescue will come too early and too fast, the only reasonable explanation is that Yue Fei has already sent troops.
Yue Fei didn't answer, because the situation didn't allow him to answer, and the Ice Dragon Duke, who had lightly blocked his attack, changed his cold expression along the way at this moment, and showed a smile for the first time.
"Are you finally willing to come out and get your death?"
At this moment, Lin Yu and Gao Daiyue suddenly thought of something.
Why did the Liao army raid them?
Break them one by one?
But why the relentless pursuit?
Unless—
"I still can't hold back. Yue Fei sighed heavily in his heart.
……
On August 2, the commander of the Liao army, Duke Yelu Wenju, defeated the Yuejia army on the outskirts of Huaiyang, then captured Huaiyang City, and sent troops to Xuchang the next day.
On August 4, the troops of the Mongols, Liao, Turks, Qing, and Xia met outside the city of Xuchang and broke the city the next day.
On August 5, Xie Haoran captured Yingzhou.
And then—
"Let's go and take Huaiyang and Xuchang back. Xie Haoran said to the generals.
