Chapter 989: Choice
In the depths of the long demon domain, the Wild Fox Ridge is located at the eastern foot of the Yinshan Mountain Range six thousand miles away, an obscure barren mountain range, thousands of miles of mountains are high in the south and low in the north, and there are six narrow ridges of two or three hundred long in the north to spread out in a fan shape, as if the six-tailed demon ridge sits in the north and faces the south, looking at the heaven and earth.
The Wild Demon Ridge is full of rocks and gravel, and even the lowest-level miscellaneous demons usually don't roam around here, but at this moment it is occupied by hundreds of thousands of demon riders.
Bands of soldiers and horses were cast out like fishing nets, driving back the hordes of demons roaming around the vicinity to supply the consumption of the huge number of soldiers and horses.
The Great Demon Lord Shang Mu and Qiu Shan did not lead their troops and horses to the north for a long time, and the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen couldn't hold it back, and rushed to Yehu Ridge alone to ask for help, who would have thought that Shang Mu and Qiu Shan would actually ask it to give up Xuanyin Valley, and immediately led the remnants to make a detour to Yehu Ridge, and accompanied the army to cross the Dajin Mountain again into the territory of Beiting.
The Great Demon Lord Wu really couldn't understand it.
How many generations of demon lords before and after operate Xuanyin Valley, for hundreds of thousands of years, only the Liuyang Empire was the strongest, and when the demons were at their most declining, they were forced to temporarily abandon Xuanyin Valley, and at this moment, the demons captured most of the territory of Chongguo, slaughtered and plundered tens of billions of mortals of the human race, and the Great Demon Lord of Black Yan led 10 million demon soldiers to capture Yongjing, the capital of Chongguo, not only the remnants of the three pillars of the general mansion of Nanli, Anxi, and Nanzhao were frightened, and they were bent on retreating to the south and west, and even Tiannan and Yue only dared to retreat in the Hengduan Mountains, Yunling strengthened the construction of the defense line, and did not dare to send troops to cross the Lei Chi for half a step and enter the territory of Chongguo to fight, Shang Mu and Qiushan The two demons actually decided to give up Xuanyin Valley?
Yes, the demon clan is different from the human clan, there is no need to pay so much attention to the mountain gate, but should the Ten Thousand Demon Prefecture give up?
You must know that under the rule of the Xuanyin Valley Demon Clan, nearly half of the demon soldiers and demon generals are from the Ten Thousand Demon Prefecture - there are hundreds of millions of demons wandering around the Ten Thousand Demon Prefecture, killing each other and hunting for food, almost every year, there are thousands of demons that can breed spiritual intelligence, so as to grow into qualified soldiers, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen does not know, Shang Mu and Qiu Shan are not clear in their hearts, once they give up Xuanyin Valley and Ten Thousand Demon Prefecture, what will it mean.
However, recalling the bloody battle more than ten days ago, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen also shuddered, it can be said that it is the first time that the Xuanyin Valley Demon Clan has really used large-scale elite combat power to impact the assembly of the human race with the Heavenly Chariot and the shield halberd soldiers, and the final battle situation is so bleak that the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen is unwilling to think about the tragic situation at this time.
On the narrow battlefield inside the Shattered Star Gorge, they invested more than twice as many elite soldiers and horses as the human race, and finally failed, at this time, the two Longxiang armies had already joined forces in the Shattered Star Gorge, and the number of soldiers and horses increased to more than 700,000, they had to transfer back the soldiers and horses south of Dajin Mountain to fully grasp the recapture of the Shattered Star Gorge, but no matter how difficult and arduous it was, it did not mean that they should indulge the Longxiang Army to use the Broken Star Gorge as a springboard to attack Ten Thousand Demon Prefecture and Xuanyin Valley!
Shang Mu supported the craggy rocks on the mountain crest with his thick magic arms, and his scarlet demon pupils stared at the depths of the Northern Demon Domain Wasteland, setting off a frantic wind from time to time, blowing the boulders around.
It is unwilling to give up Xuanyin Valley and Ten Thousand Demon Prefecture, but if it wants to recapture the Shattered Stars, the first step is to lead 700,000 demon horsemen into the Xuanyin Valley, so that the Long Xiang Army does not dare to go out of the Shattered Star Gorge, but then it needs to transfer back more than five million demon soldiers from the north and south of Dajin Mountain before it is possible to take the Shattered Star Gorge.
What does this mean?
This means that the Seven Sects Alliance Army that retreated into the Northwest Regions will have tens of millions of soldiers and horses in their hands and no longer garrison the Zibai Mountain and Wantao River defense lines, which means that the Seven Sects Alliance Army has the ability to enter the Zhongzhou Great Plain and threaten the main force of the Middle Road Demon Soldiers who are attacking Yongjing City at this time under the leadership of the Black Flame Great Demon Lord, and if it really reaches this step, it is possible to stimulate the remaining Nanli (Southern Regions), Nanzhao (Southwest Regions), and Anxi (Xiting) three pillar generals in Chongzhou, and even stimulate Tiannan and Yue to send troops into the Zhongzhou Great Plain.
Rather than take such a risk, it is better to give up Xuanyin Valley cleanly, gather the soldiers and horses, and advance westward along the north and south flanks of Dajin Mountain, approaching Zibai Mountain, so that the Seven Sects Alliance Army is trapped in Zibai Mountain and other defensive lines and dare not move a little.
The loss of Xuanyin Valley can completely restore Dajin Mountain as a foothold for the demon race, at this time, the miscellaneous demons who have entered the Chongguo have devoured the flesh and blood of a large number of human races and other spirit birds and beasts, and the speed of growing into qualified soldiers is much faster than that of the Ten Thousand Demon State, so what is the regret of temporarily losing the Ten Thousand Demon State?
Besides, they really have to be pinned down in the Shattered Star Gorge by hundreds of thousands of Long Xiang army elites, and forget that the root of the Long Xiang army is actually in the Northwest Regions, then it will be a bit of a sacrifice - and as long as the Northwest Regions are captured, no matter how strong the Long Xiang Army is, it is a sourceless plan and a tree without roots.
In contrast, if they enter the Shattered Star Gorge, the Long Xiang Army can continuously obtain supplies from the Northwest Regions through the Blood Refining Field, while the Northwest Regions can be content outside the battlefield and carry out fuller and more effective production, if they abandon the Xuanyin Valley and directly enter the Zibai Mountain, it is likely to be a war of attrition, but in addition to continuously sending a small group of elite demon soldiers to infiltrate the hinterland of the Northwest Regions to destroy their production, they can also continue to plunder the mortals of the human race and replenish blood food.
The choice between the two, which is better or worse, is it not clear at a glance?
***********************
The Demon Clan's ability to resolutely abandon Xuanyin Valley like a strong man breaking his wrist was still a little unexpected for Chen Hai, but he was more expecting that the Demon Clan could not hold on to Xuanyin Valley and counterattack the Shattered Star Gorge, then he could use the Blood Refining Ground Passage to fight a war of attrition with the Xuanyin Valley Demon Clan.
At least in this local battlefield, the Beiling Army and the Seven Sects Alliance Army had an advantage in fighting a war of attrition with the Xuanyue Valley Demon Clan.
However, Chen Hai was unable to fulfill his wish, and the main force of the Long Xiang Army withstood several times the demon soldiers at the western foot of the Murwei Mountain, and carried out an arduous and outstanding struggle, and the casualties were so tragic, and they did not have the ability to kill the Shattered Star Gorge and pursue the main force of the demon cavalry stationed in the Wild Fox Ridge.
However, in any case, Shang Mu, Wu Zhen, Qiu Shan and other demons led hundreds of thousands of demon horsemen to cross the Dajin Mountain and enter the Beiting realm again, to say the least, it would take two months, and after the demon soldiers of Xuanyin Valley met at the southern foot of the Dajin Mountain, they would march west along the southern foot of the Dajin Mountain, and it would be almost four to six months later to threaten the north bank of the Tianhe River.
During this time, almost all the people east of the Tianhe River were able to evacuate to a relatively safe area.
Although it did not reach the most perfect, such a result was much more perfect than what Chen Hai had planned when he left Zibai Mountain to go west and east more than two years ago.
Of course, even if the 25.6 billion ordinary people are evacuated from the Northern Court to the Northwest Regions, the subsequent resettlement is also an extremely heavy work - at this time, there are only more than 10 million ordinary people who have moved to the vicinity of the Demon Deer Ridge, after all, from the eastern foot of Zibai Mountain, to cross the Zibai Mountain, and then borrow from the northern foot of Wanxian Mountain, arrive at Pingma Mountain, and then enter the vicinity of the Demon Deer Ridge and even more to reclaim wasteland near Tianluo Valley, it is almost a long journey of 780,000 miles, but as long as the Demon Deer Ridge, The Tianluo Valley has already begun to accept the fleeing mortals, and the number of people will increase rapidly after that.
According to the plan agreed between Chen Hai and the Seven Sects, in the next three years, the number of people who will move to the 20,000-mile territory north of Pingma Mountain, and even to the Blood Cloud Wasteland and even Yanzhou for resettlement, will reach one billion.
Unlike the large number of cities and villages south of Pingma Mountain that can receive refugees, in order to ensure that so many ordinary people can be resettled, the Beiling Army wants to build 3,000 cities and 200,000 villages in the wasteland between Pingma Mountain and Tianluo Valley in the north.
Although Jiang Jin, Jiang Pei and others have been doing the preparatory work in the early stage, and have been doing it in Tianluo Valley and Demon Deer Ridge for the past two years, and have also transferred a large number of grassroots generals from the Beiling Army and Yanzhou to supplement the shortage of manpower, Chen Hai finally selected 30 Dao Dan, 300 Ming Zhi Realm Captains, 5,000 Spirit Realm military attachés, and 200,000 military soldiers from the meritorious generals of the Long Xiang Army to return to Mozhang Ridge to promote the process of resettlement work such as building cities and paving roads, building water conservancy, etc., and they will also stay in the local area to be responsible for hoarding land and cultivating and educating the people in the future.
Although it seems that the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Warrior Army will be weakened for the time being, after three or five years, a steady stream of new forces will emerge from the billion refugees, and eventually become the new forces of the Demon Resist.
As for the recruitment of the children of the Han Sect, the Tianying School Palace of the Seven Sects and the Beiling Army is also being carried out simultaneously.
According to what Chen Hai discussed with Ji Jiangye, Yuan Zhou, Xi Tongguang, and Qin Hushan, among the 2.5 billion ordinary people who withdrew westward, the conditions were relaxed to young men and women under the age of 25, totaling 800 million, and there were almost 800,000 people who were expected to open up the Linghai Secret Palace in the future, Wanxian Mountain, Zixu Sect, Xuanhuang Palace, Yuanyang Sect, and the Tianying School Palace of the Beiling Army were each divided into 120,000 children, and the three sects of the Northern Court, such as the Tianhe Sect, were each divided into 60,000 children to rebuild the mountain gate in Zibai Mountain.
The main force of the demon clan in Xuanyin Valley went south, and Xuanyin Valley actually became a place of chicken ribs, Qin Hushan, Wu Zhidong, Qin Qian, Yuan Yanxue and others led a small number of disciples of Yuanyang Sect, Xuanhuang Hall and Wanxian Mountain to return to the Northwest Regions and participate in the construction of the defense line of Zibai Mountain and Wantao River.
The Long Xiang army was 700,000 elites, and the military attachés of the Spirit Realm were as high as 90,000, half of whom were disciples of the Yuanyang Sect, the Xuanhuang Palace, and the Wanxian Mountain.
The war here is over for the time being, and Qin Hushan can hand over all the soldiers to Chen Hai and be incorporated into the Longxiang army, but the disciples of the three sects still have to return to the mountain gate and clan, and in the future, they will join the alliance of the seven sects to serve the demons.
Of course, Chen Hai successively transferred 450,000 elites from the Beiling Army into the Longxiang Advance Army, but after entering the Eastern Front, he continued to integrate the large and small clans in the eastern part of the Beiting Dynasty and received the remnants of the original Northwest Qinwang Army, but after more than two years of fierce battles, and even more than 200,000 horses were incorporated into the local government to serve as civilian officials, the total strength of the Longxiang Army at this time was still 500,000, and the military attachés above the Spirit Realm increased from more than 25,000 to more than 40,000.
Among them, almost 20,000 people are the children of the Hanmen or small and medium-sized clans of the original Northern Court, and almost all of them chose to join the Beiling Army (Longxiang Army) and became the disciples of the Tianying School Palace - like Zhou Wenwei, Chen Zhengqing and others, they chose to break away from the Tianhe Sect and join the Tianying School Palace.
Fu Siyuan, Yun Shi, and Fu Shaoqun finally left the Broken Star Gorge and went south, hundreds of thousands of children of the Fu clan were still trapped in Yongjing City, and the war here came to an end for the time being, they could not cut off the children of the Fu family, knowing that they would die for a lifetime, they also resolutely refused Chen Hai's retention, sneaked to Fengyong Mountain, and went over to see if the siege of Yongjing could be solved.
And after three months of rest, the main force of the 400,000 Longxiang army, also under the leadership of Lei Yangzi, Zhou Wanqing, Zuo Er, Yu Cang, Xie Jueyuan, Mo Zhai, Cang Xian and others, left the Shattered Star Gorge and withdrew west from the northern foot of Dajin Mountain to Tianluo Valley through the Long Demon Domain.
The main force of the demon soldiers in Xuanyin Valley has slowly approached the past in Zibai Mountain, and the demon soldiers and demon generals who are heading south in the hinterland of the northern demon domain have also bypassed the Shattered Star Gorge far away, and Chen Hai led a dragon army to garrison the most important task of the Shattered Star Gorge, that is, to suppress the entrance and exit of the Ten Thousand Demon Continent, prevent the demon clan from regaining the Ten Thousand Demon Prefecture, and continuously select qualified demon soldiers from it......
**********************
At the end of the autumn of the forty-second year of Jianxing, a black city with a radius of ten miles was built in the depths of the Shattered Star Gorge, and the river of magnetism and light seemed to be suspended in the north of this black city as if it were eternal.
At this time, in the depths of the Shattered Star Gorge, a broken black demon dragon corpse lay silently in the pile of rocks for nearly a year, and at this time, the left front paw of the dragon corpse moved slightly.
Seeing this scene, Ji was extremely envious.
Dragon Emperor Cangyu was resurrected again, at this time, he directly cultivated the demon dragon body of Fang Pu Great Demon Lord as an external clone, and the winged demon body before Ji Du was taken away by Mo Zhai, seeing that the Dragon Emperor Cangyu could actually make the demon dragon body move, how could Ji Du not be envious and jealous?
Fang Pu's old demon's demon dragon body was too powerful than Ji Du's winged demon body, and it was even more difficult for Dragon Emperor Cangyu to cultivate to the realm of unity of body and mind, and unity of spirit and flesh, but at this time, it was already a good start.
At this time, Chen Hai handed over the Taixu Dragon Soul Ding to the Dragon Emperor Cangyu to personally control it, and he took Zhu Yan, Ji Du, and Ning Chan'er to return through the Heavenly Passage and enter the Blood Refining Field......
The existence of the Blood Refining Ground has long been discovered by the human and demon clans, but in the past, it was controlled by the unstable Heavenly Domain Channel, and no strong person above the Heavenly Realm or the Heavenly Demon Realm could enter the Blood Refining Field, so no one could take the Flame Lake Divine Tower, and before the situation deteriorated or improved further, the human and demon clans were still in a stalemate, and it was difficult for Chen Hai to have a greater effect, and he also wanted to take advantage of this rare time to enter the Blood Refining Ground to study the Flame Lake Divine Tower.
At present, Wanxian Mountain is only treating the Flame Lake Divine Pagoda as a cultivation place for middle and low-level disciples, which is a bit too wasteful no matter how you say it—whether it is from the Flame Demon or the five ancient spirits in the body of the Xuanjin Puppet, it shows that in the depths of the Flame Lake Divine Tower, there are secrets that can only be explored by the powerhouses of the Dao Fetal Realm or even the Heavenly Realm......
