The Nuchuan River, which originates from Yuanyang Mountain and stretches for 780,000 li to the west, flows into the Sea of Falling Stars from the southern end of Wanghai City, is the third largest water system in the Northwest Region, and the river surface in the area of Yulongjin is more than 100 miles wide, and the waves are vicious.

Although the local county government had assembled tens of thousands of ships in advance, the forward combat power of the demon army retreating south, even if the baggage vehicles and many chariots were all handed over to the rear, even the number of men and horses exceeded one million, and it would take three or four days for the forward combat force to pass through this ferry.

And from the Nuchuan River to the south, there are a series of east-west rivers such as Lishui, Qiushu River, Wantao River, etc., there are no bridges, and ordinary soldiers and horses need to use boats to pass through the big rivers, and finally I don't know how long it will be delayed before I can lead the troops back to the Zhongzhou Great Plain, and to avoid these big rivers and the rugged terrain of the majestic mountains and mountains, you need to detour three or four times more, standing on the Chiyun Shenzhou, seeing the slow movement of the soldiers and horses across the river Qin Ran, the mood at the moment is extremely bad.

The General's Mansion of the Pillar State of the Northeast Regions was unable to organize an effective defense after all, and the two battles hastily organized were both defeated, and the remaining soldiers and horses shrank into the mountain gates operated by the Thousand Machine Sect and the Shouyang Sect on both wings for thousands of years, and stubbornly defended the danger, so that the situation in the Northeast Region was barely completely eroded.

And the Gulan Mountain, which stretches for tens of thousands of miles and is more than 10,000 zhang high, was originally a heaven-sent Great Wall for the human race to resist the southern invasion of the demons in Xuanyin Valley, but there is no garrison of the elite of the human race, and the Gulan Mountain, which covers the ice and snow all year round, is like an open door to the demons.

In the past two months, almost five million elite demons and miscellaneous demons that are several times more numerous have crossed the Gulan Mountains and entered the territory of the Northeast Regions, and are rapidly moving towards Yongjing.

Although Yongjing is the capital of great worship and has nearly a hundred heavenly true monarchs in charge, there is no large-scale elite soldiers, and it still does not have the ability to effectively intercept the demon soldiers before they enter the Zhongzhou Great Plain.

After all, in addition to the four or five million elite demon soldiers of the demon race and the miscellaneous demons that spread in all directions like a plague and devoured the human race and hundreds of millions of living beings, the existence of the demon lord level will inevitably not be less.

However, two months have passed since the defense line of Gulan Mountain was broken, and within these two months, the generals of the Zhuguo State of all regions should send reinforcements, but the defense line of Dayan Mountain, which entered the Great Plain of Zhongzhou in the northeast region, only gathered 700,000 soldiers and horses at this time.

Among them, the nearest Dongting Zhuguo General's Mansion only sent 200,000 Qinwang troops.

In comparison, Jiang Yin, on behalf of the three sects, has used two months to gather seven or eight hundred thousand soldiers and horses on the south bank of Lishui, ready to go south with the main force of the demon army at any time, which can be regarded as extremely proactive, not to mention that the three sects are still facing great defensive pressure on the front line of the Demon Deer Ridge.

Although thirty-one years ago, his father finally passed the throne to his grandson Qin Pan, and the martyr king Qin Ran was full of indignation, but at this time he knew in his heart that under the nest, there was no egg, and once Yongjing fell, it would severely damage the foundation of the entire imperial family and the Xuanyuan Palace.

Qin Ran was flipping through the official letter of grain and grass dispatch in the Northwest Region in the past few days, when the door suddenly opened from the outer door, and a maid who was quite favored on weekdays broke in without saying a word.

"There are no rules!" Qin Ran snorted coldly, and then waved his hand, and the tyrannical and manic Gangfeng wiped out this insignificant maid invisibly, on the white carpet as snow, and not even dust was left.

Usually, he can tolerate the informality and indulgence of these close servants around him, but when the demon clan invaded south, the majesty of the royal family and the Xuanyuan upper hall had been severely challenged, Qin Ran would never show mercy to his subordinates again, stared coldly at the few guards on duty who were not blocked in the aisle, and snorted coldly: "You yourself rush to the defense line of Dayan Mountain, if you can not die in ten years, you will be exempted from the death penalty!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" the guards on duty did not dare to defend themselves, and even though they were ordered to retreat, they were replaced by other guards on duty.

After a while, Ji Yuanchuan walked in, ignoring the small episode that had just happened, loosened a golden sword edict, and said with joy: "Chen Hai and Wu Cheng Sifei sent a report. ”

"He was finally willing to withdraw to the Demon Deer Ridge without throwing away his life?" Qin Ran asked with a cold snort.

Qin Ran personally served as the general of the Northwest Regions Pillar State, commanding the army to recruit demons, and the vast majority of the characters of the three sects kept their distance from him, only Wu Chengsi, Wu Zhidong, and Chen Hai were extremely few people, who followed him and acted according to his orders.

Although Chen Hai did not enter the heavenly throne for cultivation, he presided over the Beizhen Craftsman Division, and did his best, casting hundreds of thousands of armor and weapons for Beizhen in the past few years, building more than a dozen indestructible large-scale city fortresses, greatly improving the combat power of Beizhen's soldiers and horses, and it can be said that the Beizhen army easily captured Black Rock City.

And when Qin Ran decided to retreat south to aid Yongjing, so many Heavenly True Monarchs of the Three Sects were silent, only Chen Hai was loyal and resolutely stood up to lead the camp of millions of rabble, attracting the attention of the demon soldiers of Tianluo Valley, so that the southern retreating army would not be entangled and disturbed.

How could Qin Ran not pay attention to such a humeral minister?

Qin Ran also repeated several times, hinting that Chen Hai could stop at any time, even if he bought horse bones with his daughter and encouraged more children of the Northwest Regions to serve the royal family, he would also reuse Chen Hai.

And as the situation north of the Demon Deer Ridge became more and more dangerous, he issued several golden sword edicts in succession to order Chen Hai to abandon Xinyan City, abandon the soldiers and horses of the camp that had become an abandoned pawn, and immediately lead his descendants to retreat south, but Chen Hai ignored his order, which also made Qin Ran's heart full of fire.

At this time, listening to Ji Yuan's report that Wu Chengsi and Chen Hai had come over, Qin Ran thought that Chen Hai had finally given up on Xinyan City and withdrawn to Demon Zhangling, he also loved and hated, and thought about what method to use to summon Chen Hai to his side, not only to let Chen Hai be "punished", but also to let the Tianying City under his command continue to cast weapons for him.

"New Yancheng is defended!" Ji Yuanchuan said.

"How is it possible?" Qin Ran couldn't imagine this scene, snatched the report from Ji Yuanchu's hand, looked at it hungrily, patted his thigh, and said with Ji Yuanchu a smile, "This is about two months, the only news that can make this king feel a little more at ease, I didn't expect that the millions of craftsmen in Beiling Town, joining forces with the remnants of Liya Town, can force back a million Rakshasa demons." A good heaven and earth, mountains and rivers sword intent, a good one to take the common people of the world as their own responsibility. I'm also worried that Jiang Jin's wine bags and rice bags are overwhelmed, and the north side may be leaked by the demons, but now there is a Chen Hai, which makes me feel a lot more at ease!"

Qin Ran didn't know if he could expel the demon clan in time with his troops to the south this time, but if the situation in Zhongzhou had been eroded before this, the four or five million elite soldiers and horses he led could only rely on the northwest region to provide food and grass supplies.

Qin Ran didn't expect that Chen Hai and Wu Chengsi would actually defend New Wild Goose City, and even not only defend New Wild Goose City, but also kill nearly 400,000 demon clans, driving the demon soldiers to Black Rock City and not daring to come out again.

This is probably the only news that makes him feel happy in the past two months, as long as the northwest region can be stabilized, he can lead his troops to the south, and he can go east along the Wantao River with Jiang Yin's troops to find fighters, without worrying about what leaks will occur in the back road.

"Chen Hai is really His Royal Highness's lucky general, His Royal Highness ordered Chen Hai to take charge of Beiling to guard the General's Mansion and defend the new Yancheng, which is really a wonderful move that no one can imagine. Ji Yuanchu is also a rare and easy way to please Qin Randao.

"Don't be a sycophant," Qin Ran laughed, "Where can I be a prophet? I let him take charge of Beiling Town to guard the General's Mansion, just to see that he is loyal, more comfortable than Jiang Jin, Ji Jiangye, these old foxes, how can I know that he can actually defend Xinyan City? Yuan Cooking, how do you say that this king should reward him, and how do you say that with his merits, how about serving as the general of the capital?"

"Although it is very likely that something happened in the Blood Cloud Wasteland, so that the demon soldiers of the Tianluo Valley Demon Clan could not be exhausted, but killing the existence of the Demon Lord level in a battle, and killing a total of 400,000 elite demon soldiers with the Liya Town soldiers, is definitely a miracle, Your Highness can't reward him too much at this time," Ji Yuanfang said, "It's just that His Highness rewarded him too much, so that Chen Hai suddenly became the target of everyone, but it may not be good." ”

"Oh, you say. Qin Ran frowned and let Ji Yuanyan continue.

"Since Chen Hai acted as a doorman for the children of the Jiang family, in just over ten years, he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and built Tianying Mountain at the northern foot of Dongdu Mountain, it can be seen that he cannot be taught by Jiang Yin in the sword of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, and he has also won the essence of Jiang Yin's military and political skills, at this time, he is sitting on 600,000 elite soldiers and horses, and in time, it will become a climate - and His Royal Highness should also think that if Yongjing unfortunately falls, there must be people available in the northwest region, and there is indeed no one better than Chen Hai, Wu Chengsi, Wu Zhidong and other candidates who are more worthy of His Highness's trust, but the problem is that Chen Hai's foundation is too shallow, and His Highness's reward is too much, so it may not be a good thing to make the three sects wary. ”

"......" Qin Ran nodded, Chen Hai used a dangerous trick to trap and kill the Demon Lord and a large number of elite demon generals, defending the city with more than a million soldiers and horses, and in the end the casualties were so heavy, the disadvantages were there, Qin Ran He was also clear at a glance, which was also the key to their initial determination that Chen Hai would never be able to defend Xinyan City.

He also knew that Ji Yuanfang was talking about where the scruples were, and he directly promoted Chen Hai to the position of the general of the capital at this time, so that Chen Hai could control a defense line alone, and Chen Hai would lack enough elite generals because of this, which actually led to a large number of senior generals from the town guard general to the commander and the captain, all of whom were called the disciples of the three sects, and Chen Hai would eventually be elevated into the puppets of the three sects.

Qin Ran also understood what Ji Yuanzhuo's suggestion was, instead of giving a false name, it was better to give real benefits, so that the Wu clan and the Beiling town soldiers could become two nails that could be used by him and pierced in the hinterland of the Northwest Regions, on the one hand, he could better urge the three sects in the Northwest Regions to rescue Yongjing, and if Yongjing did not defend it, he would lead his troops to cover the remnants of the imperial family and Xuanyuan's upper hall to withdraw to the Northwest Regions, and he would not be led by the nose by the three sects in everything......
