The Tong River carries billions of tons of sediment down every year, and a large amount of sediment is deposited at the mouth of the sea due to the slowdown of the water flow, and after a long time, a tidal flat swamp of hundreds of miles of radius is formed at the mouth of the sea.

After the beginning of spring every year, the ice at the mouth of the Tong River melts, and the tide is noisy; and when the wind and waves are calm after the summer, the Tong River that undertakes the torrential rain and flood in the upper reaches rolls in, and the mouth of the Tong River is also a monstrous flood and wanton flooding, making this hundreds of miles of land, the demon and barbarian tribes have no place to stand at all, and have become the home of wild birds and beasts.

Chen Hai stood on the main peak at the southwest foot of Hailing Plain, looking north at the past, the stretch of barren beach and water seemed to have no end, countless crows and wild birds inhabited the weeds that were taller than a human head, and occasionally one or two huge demon crocodiles could be seen swooping out from the depths of the swamp, hunting small beasts or wild beasts that had inadvertently intruded into his territory - and some huge giant vultures, soaring on the Wanzhang Plateau, vigilantly staring at the two waves of uninvited guests.

The Hailing Plain where Chen Hai stands is a hilly area in the south of this swamp tidal flat, about 400 miles away from Yaoshan Mountain, in a southwest and northeast direction, and in terms of the leyline, it should be the remaining vein of Yaoshan.

Hailing Yuan is nearly 200 miles deep, although it is the most large-scale hilly belt at the mouth of the Tong River, but it is mainly composed of low barren mountains, most of which are between tens of meters and more than 100 meters, and the main peak of the southwest foot is even less than 200 meters.

Under the repeated attacks of the Iron Cliff Department and the cavalry of the Black Yan Army, Tuoba Banner finally led 80,000 soldiers and horses, surrounded by a large number of slaves and livestock, into the northeast foot of Hailing Plain, close to the Tong River, while the Iron Cliff Department slowly but firmly approached the enemy from the western foot of Hailing Plain.

Comparatively speaking, the terrain of the northeast foot of Hailing Yuan is more precipitous, not only the mountain is a whole standing outside the Tong River, and the main peak is also more than 400 meters high.

Tuoba Banner led the troops to enter the northeast foot of Hailing Plain, in addition to the northeast foot of the terrain is more precipitous, conducive to defense, the main thing is to rely on the Tong River, after the reinforcements of Baishui City arrived on the west bank of the Tong River, Tuoba Banner is no longer isolated at the east foot of Hailing Plain, and the grain and grass can also be solved through the Tong River.

The tribes on the Hanhai steppe are mainly nomadic and are not good at river fishing, but this does not mean that the tribes will never be able to build ships.

Baishui City, where the Tuoba Department laid the foundation, was backed by Dingbo Lake, and it also captured a group of Terran craftsmen to make ships very early, in order to strengthen the control of Dingbo Lake, but I didn't expect that it would be used at this time, and from Dingbo Lake, there is also a large river hundreds of meters wide - Baishui River - from the opposite bank of Hailingyuan into Tongkou and then into the sea.

Tuoba Banner chose to retreat to Hailing Yuan to build a defensive line, it was his profound intention, Chen Hai stood on the top of the main peak at the southwest foothills, and he could faintly see that there was a sail shadow from the extreme east, along the course of the Baishui River gradually towards the Tong River, and above the sail shadow, there should be reinforcements and supplies from Baishui City.

However, the ships owned by the Tuoba Department were still too limited, and it was impossible to pick up more than 80,000 soldiers and horses on the west bank, as well as a large number of slaves and livestock, at one time.

The first and second battalions of the Iron Cliff Army and the remnants of the Black Yan Army led by Yan Yuan approached Hailingyuan from three directions, and also took the main peak of the western foot of Hailingyuan as the core, and constructed a defensive line on two lines, so as to prepare for the 80,000 elite and a large number of coerced slaves under the Tuoba Banner to block the area north of the southwest foot of Hailingyuan, where the Tonghe River and the east bank of the Hanhai River intersect.

There are also two main streams in the southwestern foothills of Hailingyuan, one that flows east into the Tong River and the other north into the swampy area in the north.

These two streams and rivers, one Zishui and one Wild Eagle River, have quite open water surfaces, but the river channel is only two or three meters deep, and the water flow is not turbulent, which can never be compared with the Tong River, but it provides great convenience for the Iron Cliff Army and the Black Yan Army to blockade the soldiers and horses of the Tuoba Department on the west bank of the Tong River.

In addition to building more than a dozen military fortresses along the Zishui and Yewu River, the main forces of the Iron Cliff Army and the Black Yan Army also crossed the Zishui and Yewu River from the two flanks of the main peak at the western foot respectively, and maintained an offensive posture against the Tuoba Department in the northeast direction.

Standing on the top of the main peak at the southwest foothills, Chen Hai looked at the military tents stretching in the simple military villages on both wings, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

More than ten years have passed since his spirit was brought into this world.

For more than ten years, he stayed in Yao Xing's ruined body, moving step by step, with great effort, and finally has some appearance today.

Calculate carefully, including yourself, including the demon ape and other demon pill realm demons, in addition to the relics, the Longxiang camp has nearly ten Dao Dan cultivators. Yan Yuan was never willing to bow to the sect lord, and brazenly led the remnants of the Black Yan Army to the north, but he was confused in his heart after all, and he couldn't see where the future of the Black Yan Army was, after Chen Hai revealed the cruel truth of the Blood Demon Tribulation, Yan Yuan's Dao heart was strengthened, and his cultivation even showed signs of further breakthrough to the late stage of the Dao Dan Realm, and this part of the Black Yan Army commanded by Yan Yuan naturally became a combat force that Chen Hai could rely on and trust.

Who would have imagined that Chen Hai went from having nothing in his early years to directly controlling 300,000 elite soldiers (Long Xiang Battalion, Elite Army, Black Yan Army and the second largest battalion of the Iron Cliff Army) at this time, and it only took more than ten years, which did not include the combat power of the Iron Cliff Army.

Due to the spread of martial arts secret form techniques such as Fish Dragon Transformation and Tiger Formation, only the elite army mastered by Long Xiang and Dong Ning has emerged thirty or forty thousand Tong Xuan Realm warriors, and the vast majority of the Black Yan Army led by Yan Yuan are veterans who have been tempered by many bloody battles, and the proportion of soldiers with the foundation of Tong Xuan Realm cultivation is by no means below the elite army and the Long Xiang battalion - at present, the second battle battalion of the Iron Cliff Army is relatively weak, and it needs to be further strengthened in the future.

Chen Hai really wants to gather a lot of forces in Tianshui County, and he is in the same position as the Tianji Academy, this kind of strength can be seen in the entire Yanzhou, and he can also compete with the Dong family, the Miao family and other princely level sect lords.

However, Chen Li's purpose was not to compete with the Dong clan, the Miao clan and other princely clans, nor did he intend to replace the Ying clan to rule Yanzhou, he knew in his heart that such strength was still so weak in the face of the Blood Demon Tribulation that would break out at any time.

Cangyi, Yan Yuan, Le Yi, Tie Kun, Tie Du, Qi Hanjiang, Granny He, etc., all flew over to the main peak of the western foot at this time.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Chen Hai stretched out his hand to release a cloud of Xuanguang, and with the unfolding of the light curtain, the topographic map of the entire Hailing Plain unfolded clearly and unmistakably in front of everyone's eyes, and the deployment of troops on both sides and the arrangement of the camp were also intuitively presented......

"After the Tuoba Department led the troops to occupy the main peak of the northeast foothills, they put all the soldiers and horses into the main peak of the northeast and defended in the wide valley on the east bank of the Tong River. Chen Li said.

The topographic map shown by Chen Hai is very three-dimensional, and you can clearly see the topographical characteristics of the wide valley at the southeast foot occupied by more than 80,000 soldiers and horses of the Tuoba Department and a large number of slaves and livestock.

From the main peak of the northeast foot to the valley on the west bank of the Tong River, it is about 30 miles long, the narrowest place is less than one mile, and the widest place is only three or four miles......

Qi Hanjiang took a breath of cold air and interjected: "Tuoba Banner, this old boy is really bad enough, occupy this valley first, and the battle in the later stage will be difficult to fight......

"The two of you will work together to take down the main peak of the northeast foothills at all costs, and the follow-up battle will be easy. Chen Hai looked at Yan Yuan and Tie Kun and said.

****************************

The next day, before the sun rose, the Iron Cliff Department began to move. A group of soldiers stepped out of the camp and followed the centurion and the commander of the thousand to assemble at the designated place.

When the night was uncovered by the sun like silk, the elite of the Iron Cliff Department and the Black Yan Army had already assembled and slowly advanced to the main peak of the northeast foot of Hailing Plain, forty miles away.

The morning breeze slowly blew up and down the Hailing Plain, and there were faint waves in the distance. The early morning sun was already a little dazzling, Chen Hai squinted his eyes slightly, and the Tuoba Department was also dispatching troops to the main peak of the northeast foot at this time to deal with the strong attack here.

There was a loud roar in the sky, and the crane mother-in-law turned into a golden-winged feather crane and flew high, and began to monitor every move on the battlefield, and more than a dozen demon vultures were also released in the direction of the Tuoba Department to deal with it, but those demon vultures did not dare to go far west, so they circled in the air, which was considered a demonstration.

At this time, there was a whistling sound in the air, and more than 20 demon beasts had already recovered after nearly a month of recuperation, and at this time they also rushed to Hailingyuan, entered the forward camp of the Iron Cliff Department, and roared at the Tuoba Department in the distance with their teeth and claws.

There was a cheer in the Iron Cliff Formation, and until now, they still thought that these demon beasts were the guardian demons of their ancestral land.

The few days of fighting side by side in Demon Ape City also allowed them to see the strength of the demon beasts, and seeing them participate in the battle again today undoubtedly added a lot of chips to the victory out of thin air.

At noon, Tie Kun received a report that the forward battalion of the Black Yan Army was also ready to compromise on the northern flank, so he ordered to transfer five thousand people out of the camp, holding high the huge shield, and attacking from the gentle slope on the south side of the northeast peak to the top of the mountain.

The position of the Tuoba Department on the halfway of the southeast peak also began to get busy, preparing to push the boulders and timbers that had been prepared in the past two days down the hillside together, preparing to give the entire team of Iron Cliff Department and Black Yan Army generals a head-on attack.

Tuoba Qi stared at the barbarian soldiers of the Iron Cliff who had approached the foot of the mountain from the south, his heart was hard, and the left eagle standing beside him suddenly exclaimed at this time, staring at the Black Yan Army approaching from the north slope in shock, his mouth trembled.

Tuoba Qi turned his head to look at it, and his heart was also cold, and from the charging queue of the Black Yan Army, more than twenty black-winged giant vultures soared - shocking and chilling, it was not these giant vultures that could carry three or four thousand catties of heavy objects, but the weapon with the shape of a bed crossbow placed on the back of the giant vulture, and there were three eagle warriors on the back of each giant vulture, controlling these weapons.

"That's it, that's it!" Zuo Vulture trembled, as if he saw the most terrifying thing in the world, and shouted in despair: "At Qinhai Ferry, that thing can shoot ten thousand arrows at once, and it will destroy the city defense of Qinhaidu in a few breaths." Hurry back, Zongzi, we can't defeat it. ”

Several people beside Tuoba Qi were in an uproar, they couldn't imagine how these bed-crossbow-like weapons could burst out with such great power, but Zuo Vulture had always been brave, and it would not be easy to scare him into such a fear.

Seeing that the army's heart was about to be chaotic, Tuoba Banner immediately made a decision, roared, and asked the left and right to take the left and right eagles down. It's just that although the left vulture is cold, his strength is still there, and while shouting to retreat, he threw a few of the Tuoba Banner away.

Tuoba Qi had the heart to kill the left eagle on the spot with a knife at this time, but Zuo Yang had just been seriously injured, if he killed the left eagle again, I was afraid that if this battle did not start, the soldiers of the Kereh Department would be directly chaotic, so they had to take action in person to knock the left eagle unconscious and drag people down.

At this time, Cang Yi and Granny Crane turned into their true bodies and flew above more than a dozen giant vultures, making it impossible for Tuoba Banner to organize elites, and killing the vulture group in a surprise attack to destroy these war crossbows.

The Black Yan Army's reserves of quenched heavy arrows have almost been exhausted, and at this time, the main ones that are loaded into the slot of the Heavenly Machine Repeater Crossbow Arrow are precision wrought iron heavy arrows.

The sharpness of the fine-wrought iron heavy arrow is a few levels worse than the quenched gold heavy arrow, but under the urging of the Tianji crossbow arrow array, the shooting speed is twenty times that of the elite crossbowman.

Twenty-eight Heavenly Machine Repeater crossbow arrows are mounted on the back of the giant vulture, which is equivalent to deploying 500 elite crossbowmen directly in front of the enemy formation, which can suppress the enemy army with the arrow array and cover the strong attack of the own army from the north and south slopes.

The solid wooden shield held by the Tuoba Barbarian may be able to support a few breaths under the accumulation of fine-wrought iron heavy arrows, but in the arrow slot of the Heavenly Machine Repeater, it is a mixture of fine iron heavy arrows and quenched gold heavy arrows, even if the number of the latter is less than one-tenth of the former, it is enough to catch the enemy troops in the front base off guard and suffer heavy casualties......

The vanguard soldiers of the Iron Cliff Department and the Black Yan Army, taking advantage of the opportunity when the enemy army was suppressed in the middle of the mountainside, held a huge shield and rushed up against the hillside in a relatively scattered linear formation - at this time, the Tuoba Banner also waved the Xuan soldiers, and ordered the generals of the front base to carry the suppression of the arrow array with wooden shields, push the wooden rolling stones down the mountain, and crush the enemy soldiers.

Seeing that the two armies quickly got together halfway up the mountainside, Qi Hanjiang came to Chen Hai's side with enthusiasm, and said: "Master, since I came to Yaoshan, I have either trained those juniors, or I have been stuck in the underground palace, and I have not fought a few tough battles, I am really aggrieved, let me go in this battle!"

Chen Hai saw that Qi Hanjiang was eager to invite the battle, and he was also helpless.

Chen Hai intended to use Qi Hanjiang to lead the Huwei battalion, but after he was in charge of the army alone, there were few opportunities to go into battle, so Qi Hanjiang, a brave and warlike general, panicked.

Seeing that Chen Hai agreed, although Qi Hanjiang had no way to take away the thousand wolf horsemen around Chen Hai, he was still extremely excited to rush to the forward attack position of the Iron Cliff Department.

After the enemy army was almost exhausted in the middle of the mountain, Tie Kun was preparing to send the most elite hundreds of mastiffs and wolf armor to the battlefield on the southern slope.

Seeing this scene, Qi Hanjiang's eyes rolled, and he leaned in front of the black-horned demon tiger who was standing in the forward position of the Iron Cliff Department, and said, "Tiger Demon Venerable, do you remember that you owe me a favor?"

The Black Horned Demon Tiger breathed a sigh and said lazily: "Is Lao Tzu this kind of person who doesn't talk much? Say, what do you kid want to do!"

Qi Hanjiang smiled with a sneer, rubbed his hands and said: "Tiger Demon Venerable, you see that my old Qi is going to the battlefield now, but there is no majestic war beast to accompany him, and I always feel a little missing in my heart, can you bother you and deign to go to the battlefield with me?"

The Black Horned Demon Tiger hit a fierce spirit when he landed, and when he heard Qi Hanjiang's meaning, he wanted to ride it to the battlefield, so he really had to agree, where was his dignity as a demon in the Demon Pill Realm?

Qi Hanjiang said with a shy face: "Tiger Demon Venerable, you lost the Qingxuan Spirit Stone to me at the beginning, and both the Ape Demon Venerable and the Black Cunning Demon Venerable can witness this matter-I naturally don't dare to ask the Tiger Demon Venerable for the Qingxuan Spirit Stone, but I can give this Qingxuan Spirit Stone to the Ape Demon Venerable?"

"You dare!" The Black Horned Demon Tiger was so angry that it glared at the Golden Retriever Demon Ape, suspecting that it was a bad idea it had given Qi Hanjiang.

The demon ape saw the black-horned demon tiger looking at him, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a ride, what can you lose?" My old ape is not interested in your broken stone, but if General Xiao Qi wants to give your broken stone to my old ape, my old ape is still disrespectful......"

The black-horned demon tiger roared, and the body got up, and raised its giant palm to slap the demon ape over, but listening to the roar of the cangyi above the sky, it trembled with fright, thinking that it would suffer some grievances today and pay off the debt, and save the demon ape from thinking about his stone in the future.

The black-horned demon tiger bent down and let Qi Hanjiang sit on it, but without waiting for the mastiff armor rider behind to follow, he directly led Qi Hanjiang to rush over to the enemy army halfway up the mountain.

"Wait, wait! I won't ask the Tiger Demon Venerable for that spirit stone--master, master, save me......" Qi Hanjiang saw that only he and the Black-Horned Demon Tiger rushed into the thousands of enemy elites with one person and one tiger, thinking to himself if he was not looking for death, and he didn't know what spell the Black-Horned Demon Tiger used, so that he couldn't jump down, so frightened that he screamed for help, and asked the Black-Horned Demon Tiger to slow down, don't rush over and die, "I'm still a virgin!"

The Black-Horned Demon Tiger didn't care, and took Qi Hanjiang with a fierce rush, but fortunately, the Golden Retriever Demon Ape and the Black-scaled Demon Cunning also rushed up like black lightning at this time, and on the left and right wings of the Black-Horned Demon Tiger, they jointly entered the enemy formation......

Seeing this scene, the relics who were supervising the battle in the clouds were also helpless, waving the scale claws of thunder and lightning trapping, and rushed directly down to the clouds and grabbed the Tuoba Banner that was directly supervising the battle in the middle of the mountainside.

Seeing this scene, Tie Kun also smiled helplessly, took out the war halberd, drove the snow mastiff, and personally led five hundred mastiff wolf war horses, rushing to the southern slope halfway up the mountainside - at this time, Yan Yuan was at the foot of the northern slope of the mountain, and also sacrificed the spirit sword, spewing out a hundred zhang of golden mang, and went around the southern slope halfway up the mountainside, violently slashed down, and all parties joined forces, so they used the most violent offensive to force the enemy army back from the southern slope of the mountain.

The northeast peak is still too narrow, although the Tuoba Department has 80,000 elites, at this time, it can only deploy more than 4,000 elite barbarians on the north and south slopes of the northeast peak, and it is simply unable to resist the stormy impact of many big demons and the Iron Cliff Department and the Black Yan Army's forward, which only lasted less than an hour, and was killed and wounded, and was forced to withdraw from the Northeast Peak, watching the commanding heights of the northeast foot of Hailing Yuan be taken away by the Iron Cliff Army and the Black Yan Army.

Chen Hai was not satisfied with capturing the northeast peak, until the Iron Cliff Army and the Black Yan Army fought more than three miles along the eastern slope to the Dongpo Canyon, and finally held their foothold at a gorge that was only more than two hundred steps wide halfway up the eastern slope.

Go down again, it is more than ten miles deep in the valley, backed by the Tong River, the stone ridges on both sides are steep, like a natural city, and the 80,000 elites of the Tuoba Department are backed by the Tong River, all of which are stationed in the valley.

It is extremely difficult for the Iron Cliff Department and the Black Yan Army to take advantage of this narrow road to attack the 80,000 Tuoba elites in the valley, not to mention that although there are not many Tuoba ships, it is still easy to transport three or five thousand soldiers and horses every day.

Chen Hai flew to the mouth of the gorge halfway up the eastern slope, looked coldly at the enemy camp tent in front of him, and said to Tie Kun and Yan Yuan: "Tuoba Banner is not a famous general, and it is unknown whether he will fall into a place of death—you will build a dam at this gorge mouth to store water, and see if the enemy army below can withstand the impact of hundreds of millions of tons of floods!"

They looked at the stone ridges on both sides of the gorge and thought that if they built a 30-meter-high dam at the mouth of the gorge, they would be able to build a high lake with a radius of 1,000 acres and a depth of 20 or 30 meters above the 80,000 elites and tens of thousands of slaves and cattle in the Tuoba Department.

There was no need for Chen Hai to remind them any more, Tie Kun and Yan Yuan also knew in their hearts that before the dam was built, the Black Yan Army and the Iron Cliff Department would first force into the valley from both flanks and completely block the passage for the 80,000 elites of the Tuoba Department to break through from both flanks......
