Chapter 942: Bad News (2)
Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts were like falling into an ice cave, and they knew in their hearts that the collapse of the Tashan defense line was almost a foregone conclusion.
After a while, Jiang Jin said with difficulty: "Ji Jiangye, they won't be long in coming, they will get the news, how will they choose?"
Although the Wantao River is wide and dangerous, there are not enough and strong enough troops to defend, and there is no natural danger at all in front of the surging demon soldiers, and the demon army is breaking through the Tashan defense line, and then severely damaging Yongjing's soldiers and horses in Dayan Mountain, and it is even very likely to go around from the southern foot of Murowei Mountain to the jurisdiction of the General Mansion of the Northern Tingzhu State, and attack all the way to the east from the western foot of Murowei Mountain, threatening the east and south of the Northwest Region.
The soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of the General Mansion of the Northern Tingzhu State are already weak, and in recent years, on the one hand, they have to defend the demons from the north to the south, and they have to divide troops to reinforce the Tashan defense line, and the strength consumption is extremely great, and the three sects in the northwest region have been consumed over the years, although the situation has changed slightly in the past two years, but they are definitely not capable of fighting on two fronts.
Once the Tashan defense line collapses, and Yongjing's soldiers and horses entering Dayan Mountain suffer heavy losses, what choice will the three Heavenly True Monarchs led by Ji Jiangye and Yuan Zhou make?
Jiang Jin, as a core member of the Three Sects, knew that the Three Sects had various plans for the erosion of the situation, and one of the options was to abandon the Northwest Regions and retreat the most elite combat power of the Three Sects to the Yue Kingdom in the west, so as to preserve the last living force.
Chong, Yue, Tiannan three kingdoms stand side by side on this Haidong continent, although there is friction from time to time, far from harmony, even Ji Jiangye's Taoist couple, Ji Chengyun's biological mother, also inexplicably died in the 100,000 Hengduan Mountains located between the border of Chongyue and Vietnam, but when the demon catastrophe is irreparable, retain more living forces to withdraw into the Yue country, or rely on the support of the Yue country, withdraw into the 100,000 Hengduan Mountains at the junction of the two countries, and continue the difficult and outstanding war against the demons, but it is the most helpless and realistic demand of the three sects.
As for the Yue Kingdom, if they want to organize a stronger demon control force, they will inevitably send people to persuade the three sects to retreat to the 100,000 Hengduan Mountains or directly to the territory of the Yue Kingdom.
Although Tashan is collapsing now, the distance between it and the Northwest Regions is still too far after all, and Qin Shimin cannot be captured, and there is also the General of the Northern Tingzhu State as a buffer in the middle, and if the war wants to completely spread to the hinterland of the Northwest Regions, there should be two or three years or even longer buffer time.
With such a long buffer time, there are floating giant boats, wind and flame airships, and a large number of wheeled baggage vehicles, and the three sects can still do it if they want to withdraw tens of millions of soldiers and horses to the Yue country, but it is impossible for four or five billion ordinary people to retreat in such a short period of time.
What Jiang Jin said was what everyone was most worried about, and they all looked at Chen Hai.
If the three sects choose to retreat to the 100,000 Hengduan Mountains or the Yue Kingdom, it is absolutely impossible for Beiling Town to hold the Demon Deer Ridge, whether to retreat to the three islands of Fusang Sea, or to retreat to the 100,000 Hengduan Mountains or the Yue Kingdom with the three sects, or maybe to fulfill the promise made by Chen Hai at the bottom of Yanguan City, and the millions of soldiers and horses will be reduced to ashes together with the Demon Deer Ridge?
The worst situation predicted has appeared, Chen Hai calmed down, as if hiding two thunderbolts swept over everyone, and said: "The collapse of the Tashan defense line is a foregone conclusion, the battlefield on the eastern front is about to erode, this Chenghaidong Terran is in danger of survival, the situation in Haidong may succeed or fail, whether the hundreds of billions of Terrans can get rid of the catastrophe, I can't see it, I only have this blood to sprinkle this mountain and river, I hope to encourage the generals." The three sects may choose to retreat, but I don't have the face to let out the billions of mortals behind me and hand them over to the demons to slaughter and devour, when the three sects decide to retreat, it is when I lead my troops out of the pass to the north and fight a decisive battle with the demon soldiers in the north, are the generals willing to die with Chen Hai?"
Jiang Han, Jiang Mingchuan and the others turned pale and looked at Jiang Jin with a look at each other, which was completely different from what Chen Hai had said when he persuaded them to move to Yantai Pass, and he would retreat to Fusang Sea as soon as the situation was bad!
Even if Zhou Wanqing led tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Zhou clan to garrison Quyan Valley and could rush over to participate in the battle, even if Chen Hai could contact Yanzhou and transfer more than 100,000 elite soldiers and horses with the foundation above the middle and late stages of the Xuan Realm, and attack the Blood Cloud Wasteland from the Black Mountain Demon Yuan, when the three sects decided to retreat westward, the demon clan could still mobilize as many as five million demon soldiers in the north of the Demon Deer Ridge, and there were more than 30 demon lords in the town, even if half of the troops were mobilized, they could crush the eight or nine hundred thousand soldiers and horses in Beiling Town?
Sha Tianhe, Huang Zhan, Yang Yin and others didn't expect that Chen Haizhen would fulfill the great wish he made in Yantai City Tower half a year ago, but they had been guarding the defense line of Yantai Pass for so many years, and suddenly asked them to abandon Yantai Pass and flee for their lives......
Man is the only one who dies.
***************
Although the weather has returned to spring, Ji Jiangye, Yuan Zhou and others, who are sitting in Dongqiaoguan at this time, do not feel the slightest warmth in their hearts.
Chen Hai convened the generals of Beiling Town at Lingque Peak, and they also got the news of the accident on the Tashan defense line from Qin Hushan at about the same time, and the news they got was more detailed than Chen Hai - after all, after Yu Cang and they fled back, Chen Hai had no way to arrange the eyeliner to the core layer of the Tashan defenders.
Just a few days ago, I also received a report from Di that the offensive of Dayan Mountain was going smoothly, and the Taishang Tianzun Qin Shimin had led the main force of the eastern front of the 4.5 million demon army into the middle foot of Dayan Mountain, as long as the more than 3 million Rakshasa demon soldiers who retreated to the hinterland of Dayan Mountain were wiped out, the demon tribulation of the Great Chong Empire would completely usher in a big turnaround.
Who would have thought that there would be such a big leak in the Tashan defense line at this time.
Taishang Tianzun Qin Shimin led his troops to march into the depths of Dayan Mountain, and Jiushan and in Juetianling also wanted to organize a big battle against the demon soldiers gathered in the north of Tashan, echoing the offensive launched by Taishang Tianzun Qin Shimin in Dayan Mountain.
Fu Siyuan, Qin Hushan and others were naturally strongly opposed for the sake of prudence, after all, according to the strategy jointly formulated by Jiang Yin and the Lie King Qin Ran in the past, as long as the Tashan defense line blocked the southward movement of a large number of demon soldiers, so that Yongjing could gather elite soldiers and strong generals from all regions and exterminate the demon clan that entered the Great Plain of Zhongzhou, the final victory would be laid.
Over the years, such a strategy has been strictly implemented, even if it is constantly organizing small-scale counteroffensives, it is also for the sake of holding the defense line well, and it has never occurred to think of transferring the main force of troops and horses out of the Tashan defense line and organizing a large battle.
In the past six months, the demon soldiers in the north of Tashan are also declining, not to mention the weakening of the offensive, in the contact battle on the defensive line, the demon soldiers are also defeated and won less, and the fear of the demon race is also weakening day by day.
In the past six months, the focus of the work has been to clear Jiang Yin's remnants in the army, not only the border army of the Northwest Regions with the strongest combat power and the strongest cohesion has been excluded from the central defense area, and has been kicked to Chicheng and other fortresses at the westernmost end of the Tashan defense line, and there are many other Zhuguo generals' mansions that have anything to do with Jiang Yin, The generals that Yu Cang had befriended were also hit to varying degrees, and even many people were punished more severely because of small mistakes, which put everyone in the army in danger, on the one hand, hoping to break off from Jiang Yin, and on the other hand, they did not dare to insist on their own opinions.
In this context, the defenders of Tashan drew up a plan to send troops from the Immortal Cutting Fortress to engage in a general battle with the demons.
Among the many plans, the more critical step was to move the Golden Light Trap Immortal Array that was originally deployed on the main peak of the Peerless Ridge and the entire Chinese army tent to the Slashing Immortal Fortress, and the accident happened at the moment when nearly twenty Heavenly True Monarchs escorted the Golden Light Trap Immortal Array to the Slashing Immortal Formation, but it was not deployed.
The Black Flame Great Demon Venerable, who had been fighting and confronting the Supreme Heavenly Venerable Qin Shimin in Dayan Mountain, led more than 50 demon lords, more than 1,000 demon marquis, and more than 3,000 demon generals to raid and kill the Immortal Killer Stop......
There are twenty-seven Heavenly Rank True Monarchs in the entire Tashan defense line, except for Qin Hushan and Wu Zhidong guarding the Chicheng Fortress on the west wing, and the three Heavenly Rank Realm Guards on the east wing, the other twenty-two Heavenly Rank Realm Guards all encountered the enemy in the Cutting Immortal Fortress, and in the end, only Fu Siyuan, Jiushan and other six Heavenly Realm True Monarchs, under the desperate escort of the Divine Bird Heavenly Army, fought their way out of the encirclement.
The fall of the Immortal Slashing Fortress, the sixteen Heavenly Rank True Monarchs, the five thousand elites of the Divine Bird Heavenly Army, the one hundred thousand elite defenders of the Immortal Slaughter Fortress, and the more than 3,000 elite guards of the Heavenly Rank True Monarchs can be said to be the most elite combat force in the entire Tashan defense line, and it has suffered a devastating blow, consisting of twenty-one groups of primary-level Dao weapons, and the strongest golden light slashing immortal array in the entire Tashan defense line has fallen into the hands of the demons, which actually means the collapse of the Tashan defense line.
At this time, the Juetian Ridge and Dingtao Pass had not yet fallen into the Demon Clan, but the Demon Clan gathered nearly two million demon soldiers in the north of the Immortal Cutting Fortress, swept over the Immortal Cutting Fortress like a tide, and under the leadership of forty or fifty demon lords and thousands of demon marquis, they covered the past to the Absolute Heaven Ridge and Dingtao Pass, Ji Jiangye and Yuan Zhou did not think that the Tashan defense line still had the possibility of not collapsing!
The situation on the entire Eastern Front is about to erode away.
Who would have thought that after the situation of Demon Deer Ridge stabilized, there would be such a big mistake in Tashan?
Above the main hall, Ji Jiangye looked at Yuan Zhou and the others, and almost wanted to cry.
Yuan Zhou sighed abruptly and said: "The situation will be completely erosive, at this time, I only hope that the Taishang Tianzun can delay for a while in Dayan Mountain, but the three sects need to move west immediately at this time, and I am afraid that it will be too late!"
Since the outbreak of the Demon Tribulation, the three sects have also secretly made all kinds of plans, once the situation on the eastern front is completely eroded, the three sects move to the Hengduan Mountains on the border between Chongyue and Vietnam, and save the fire of the sect, which is their only choice.
And when Yue Guo assisted a large number of materials in the Northwest Regions through Wanghai City, Ji Jiangye secretly negotiated with Yue Guo about the relocation and withdrawal of the sect, which was only known to him, Yuan Zhou and Qin Hushan, and Jiang Jin did not know before.
Considering that after the erosion of the battlefield on the Eastern Front, there is still a buffer time of two or three years on the northwest side, they still need to continue to hold the Mozhangling defense line, so that the old, weak, sick and children within the sect and the core sect lords, as well as a large number of sect classics and materials, the equipment of the Refining Academy, the magic weapon array, as well as the Pingma Mountain defense line and the five or six million second-line soldiers and horses further south, retreat to the Hengduan Mountain Range in advance.
"I'll go to Tianying City and strive for Chen Hai and Jiang Jin to retreat into Hengduan Mountain with us!" Ji Jiangye stood tall and said to Yuan Zhou.
Although Beiling Town and the Jiang family were condemned as rebels by Yongjing, but Yongjing was destroyed, Ji Jiangye and Yuan Zhou took the wrong medicine and will continue to oppose Beiling Town and the Jiang family?
At this time, Ji Jiangye wanted to strive for Beiling Town to temporarily stabilize the morale of the army, not to act rashly, and to retreat to the Hengduan Mountains with them at that time, for fear that Beiling Town and the Jiang clan would be in chaos after learning the news of the collapse of the Tashan defense line, in that case, the situation in the northwest region would collapse in an instant, and they should not think of giving up the mortals and retreating to the Hengduan Mountains step by step at all.
"Half a year ago, Chen Hai made a great wish in Yanguan City Tower, to live and die with Yantai Pass, Beiling Town is afraid that it will not be easy to withdraw!" Huan Wen sat down and said.
"......" Ji Jiangye smiled bitterly, he felt that Heng Wen was too naïve to say this.
In his opinion, Chen Hai made a great wish to protect the people in the world, but he knew that he couldn't do anything, and he still wanted to stay and die, how could this be done by a wise man?
Ji Jiangye was even more worried at this time that Chen Hai would eventually choose to withdraw to Fusang Sea, if this was the case, Ji Jiangye couldn't force it, he just hoped that everyone could agree together to be firm in front of the Demon Deer Ridge for another year, so that it would also be convenient for the millions of Jiang clan people in the hinterland of the Demon Deer Ridge to withdraw first.
"There are a lot of affairs in charge, let Huan Wen go to Yantai Pass to see Chen Hai. Huan Wen said.
Ji Jiangye pondered for a while and nodded, before Chen Hai's reputation was not known and Beiling Town was not a force, Huan Wen had a good relationship with Jiang He and Jiang Yuwei, and he had also jointly commanded Beiling Fortress before Beiling Town became a force with Jiang He, thinking that it would be more appropriate for him to be responsible for contacting Beiling Town.
The constant temperature imperial sword flew to Xiling, Ji Jiangye and Yuan Zhou discussed the details of the retreat, so they took out the golden sword edict and sent a message to their respective mountain gates, so that the Dharma protector elders who stayed behind in the mountain gate immediately arranged the retreat to the west according to the plan drawn up before.
After many things were arranged, Ji Jiangye did not dare to stop resting and recuperating, but still took his daughter Ji Chengyun to inspect the military fortress in the north to supervise the movements of the demons.
He believed that even if the Demon Clan didn't know about the changes in the situation in Tashan at this time, it wouldn't be too long, and the Demon Clan in the north of the Demon Deer Ridge would never sit back and watch all the children in the Northwest Regions who had a cultivation foundation and all the cultivation resources retreat west to the Hengduan Mountain Range so easily.
He was worried that the demon clan headed by the four demon halls of Tiancheng Mountain in the north of the Demon Deer Ridge was also brewing a big offensive at this time, and at this time the people were panicking, and many generals could not see the hope of being able to hold the Demon Deer Ridge and the Northwest Territory at this time.
The demon clan who quietly inspected the north did not move for the time being, and in the second half of the night, Ji Jiangye took his daughter Ji Chengyun back to Dongqiao Pass, returned to the main hall, and learned that Huan Wen had not come back to Yantai Pass, Ji Jiangye asked his daughter to follow him to the side hall, and said: "You go back to your residence to clean up, and you will go to Hengduan Mountain first tomorrow ......"
"No, the daughter has to stay with her father until the end. Ji Chengyun said firmly.
"Do you think it's easy to go to Hengduan Mountain first at this time? To complete the evacuation of tens of millions of children two years ago, and to accommodate tens of millions of children stationed in the depths of Hengduan Mountain Range in just two years, do you think it is an easy thing, do you think you can do it by casually sending three or five people over?" Ji Jiangye said with a straight face, "If you stay, it is impossible to stick to me to the end, as the leader of a faction, Wanxian Mountain will still need me to lead in the future, and I will go to Hengduan Mountain first when the time is about right, you are just one step ahead of me- Don't be petty with me at this time. ”
Ji Chengyun still had something to argue, Ji Jiangye waved his hand and said, "Huan Wen, he's back, don't say anything more." ”
Ji Chengyun panicked in his heart, returned to the main hall with his father, and after half a burnt of incense, he saw Huan Wen returning from the sword, at this time Yuan Zhou also rushed over from outside, wanting to know how Huan Wen went to see Chen Hai and Jiang Jin?
"I went to Yantai Pass first, and learned that Chen Hai was in Lingque Peak, and when I arrived at Lingque Peak, at this time Chen Hai had already gone to Yunmen Stop, and I chased after Yunmen Stopper, only to see Chen Hai, and I also delayed for so long to come back," Huan Wen saluted Ji Jiangye and Yuan Zhou, explaining why he delayed until the sky was almost bright before returning to Dongqiao Pass.
"What did Chen Hai say there, would you like to retreat to Hengduan Mountain with us?" asked Yuan Zhou.
"Chen Hai said that he made a grand wish in front of Yanguan City, and he would never abandon hundreds of millions of mortals to be slaughtered and devoured by the demons, no matter whether our three sects withdraw or not, he can only die in front of Yantai Pass, so he will not violate his original intention!" Huan Wen said.
Ji Jiangye, Yuan Zhou and the others looked at each other, but they didn't expect Chen Hai to respond to them like this!
"Constant temperature has something to ask for, and please teach Siyun. Huan Wen stood in front of the hall and said.
"You say. Ji Jiangye hesitated to see Chen Hai and Jiang Yin in person, and motioned for Huan Wen to continue.
Huan Wen also had no face to abandon hundreds of millions of ordinary people and left, please teach Xu Hengwen and the generals of Beiling Town to fight side by side in front of Yantai Pass. Huan Wen said.
"Nonsense!" Huan Clan Ancestor Hengrong scolded angrily, how could he let the youngest generation of the Huan Clan, who was most likely to step into the Heavenly Realm, die in vain at this time.
"The three sects must also have people who know that there is a dead end and go to die, so that the army's spirit will not collapse immediately!" Huan Wen insisted.
Ji Jiangye was speechless, what Heng Wen said was actually what he was most worried about, although after the war situation on the Eastern Front was eroded, the demon soldiers on the Eastern Front would be swept over, almost two or three years later, but there was no hope at all, and the defenders of the Demon Deer Ridge could really hold out for more than a year, covering the children, soldiers and horses in the hinterland to withdraw first?
No one is stupid, everyone knows in their hearts that it is impossible for the last part of the people to be withdrawn, and the five or six million demon soldiers in the north are not ornaments!
Perhaps it takes someone like constant temperature to boost morale in such a bleak and tragic situation, so as not to collapse the morale of the army all at once.
Huan Rong, the ancestor of the Huan family, saw that Huan Wen was determined, and sighed and turned his face away, knowing that he couldn't change Huan Wen's mind, and he couldn't bear him to leave.
"Senior brother, I'll go to Yantai Pass with you. Ji Chengyun said suddenly.
Ji Jiangye couldn't stop it at this time, Yuan Zhou and the others all looked at him, could it be that he could say at this time that the children of other families could be sent to death to boost the last morale, but his Ji Jiangye's daughter couldn't.
Ji Jiangye's old face turned red, and he wanted to stop it but couldn't stop it, at this time, Lei Zhen, the chief sentinel of the Tiebeiling garrison who was in charge of scouting the enemy's situation, flew into the main hall and announced: "In the northeast of Tiebeiling, the elite of the Winged Demons deployed by the demons on the east flank are almost all dispatched at this time, and it seems that they intend to disperse through the black-haired desert in the east and go around to the south!"
Ji Jiangye couldn't take care of it at this time to stop Ji Chengyun and Huan Wen from going to Beiling Town, and the demon soldiers in the northeast of Tiebeiling had such a change, which showed that the four demon halls already knew about the changes in the situation on the other side of Tashan, and the elite winged demons under the jurisdiction of the Tiancheng Mountain Demon Clan were pouring out at this moment, scattering and infiltrating to the south, at this time, it was only possible to infiltrate to the south of the Demon Deer Ridge to assemble, and then try to delay the retreat of tens of millions of soldiers and horses of the three sects to Hengduan Mountain and Yueguo as much as possible!
According to the previous response strategy, this side should organize elite sword cultivators, imperial bird warriors, and floating warships at all costs to rush to the gathering point of the Winged Demon to resolutely intercept it.
However, Ji Jiangye looked at the main hall, and the generals' expressions flickered, and none of them took the initiative to stand up and ask for battle, and sighed bitterly in their hearts.
In the past, even if the Tiancheng Mountain Demon Clan sent the Winged Demons to disperse and infiltrate the south and then assemble, the largest scale was only three or five thousand, at this time, the three sects were able to gather elite soldiers and horses that were more rapid and mobile than the Winged Demons, intercept them on the inner line, and fight guerrilla warfare with these Winged Demons, which was still very advantageous.
However, if the Tiancheng Mountain Demon Clan dispersed and infiltrated the seventy or eighty thousand elite Winged Demons that had gathered over the years to the south of the Demon Deer Ridge, the Winged Demon's maneuvering speed would be much faster and more durable than that of the Spirit Clearing Realm Sword Cultivation, who of the three sects would be willing to transfer the elite warriors who had cultivated above the Enlightenment Realm and fight with the Winged Demons to consume?
"I'll lead six floating warships to intercept these Winged Demons!" Seeing that no one took the initiative to ask for battle, Yuan Zhou finally stood up and said. Before the war, the three sects had a total of twenty-nine floating warships, and at the beginning, Jiang Yin and Qin Hushan took nine floating warships to Tashan, and before the collapse of the Tashan defense line, there were only two wrecked ships left, and after years of attrition in the Northwest Regions, there were only the last seven wrecked ships left of the twenty floating warships, one of which was still the Xuantian Thunder Ship in Chen Hai's hands!
