Chapter 560: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
A fierce battle did not stop until the sun set, the third town division of the Longxiang army went through several twists and turns, and was able to withstand the tiger roaring elite from the east like a tide of attack, the quenching heavy arrow has been exhausted, the remnants of the western foot have been beaten out of more and larger gaps, and the previously hastily preemptive position fortifications have also been unrecognizable, the third town division was forced to take advantage of the night, along the southern foot of the Tiecheng Ridge to the west, shrinking to the west, and the western foot of the Tiecheng Ridge, which is the key place to enter the Wusheng Pass, to the Su Guards.

Seeing that the soldiers and horses of the Third Town Division of the Longxiang Army were not stable, and their own side had experienced a day of hard fighting, the casualties were not small, and the generals were also exhausted, especially Zhao Zhong was more anxious to occupy Wusheng Pass, and had no intention of leading his troops to pursue, Yu Haode could only give up the idea of pursuing with his tail.
Of course, the most important thing is that Yu Haode felt that the Long Xiang army was too weak today, and it was just passively defended according to the positions of Dongcheng and Nancheng, and did not even fight a decent counterattack.
Yu Haode was in doubt, dozens of rainbow lights came from afar, and he saw Zhao Zhong rushing over surrounded by all the swordsmen.
Zhao Zhong put away the spirit sword, landed from the clouds, and said triumphantly: "Everyone in the world boasts that Chen Hai is invincible with his soldiers, but from today's point of view, he is no more than Er'er, and he is not under my Su Guard, and he is not losing troops and fleeing?"
Yu Haode smiled in his heart, thinking that if they were all soldiers and horses of the Fengxiao battalion, it would be unknown who would win and who would lose.
Moreover, according to his long-term battle-hardened vision, he can naturally see that today's battle looks tragic, but the losses of the Long Xiang army are not very large, and the casualties of 5,000 people should be the limit, but Zhao Zhong's status is still above Yu Shuai, Yu Haode looks down on Zhao Zhong in his heart, but he will not confront him face to face.
Fortunately, the road to Wusheng Pass has been completely opened, and the Xiyuan Army saw that the Longxiang army was repelled here, and the last few soldiers and horses were withdrawn from the South Three Passes, and then, Zhao Zhong personally led 100,000 troops to receive the South Three Passes of Wusheng Pass, and Yu Haode led 50,000 elites to garrison Tiechengling, which almost caught the Jingbei region under their control, but this battle ultimately depends on the competition between the two sides for the Qiuye River.
Sending Zhao Zhong to lead a group of soldiers and horses to Wusheng Pass first, Yu Haode stood on the top of the west peak of Tiecheng Ridge, looking at the starry night sky, at this time, the scout probed that Chen Hai had led the third town division of the Longxiang Army to shrink to Guining City in the south, he couldn't help but think, if he gave up the battle for Wusheng Pass so easily, then what was the significance of Chen Hai leading hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses across the Qiuye River to the north before?
******************
The 3rd Town Division of the Longxiang Army took advantage of the night to shrink southward, but returned in vain, and there were many casualties, and the Tianji chariots and heavy crossbows that were finally replenished also lost more than half of this battle, which made the morale of the generals and soldiers very low.
Chen Hai rode the imperial red cavalry and slowly marched south with the Chinese army, and Yao Wenjin had to constantly contact the scouts on the periphery through the chief sentry officer to confirm the enemy's movements, fearing that the enemy would pounce on them before their morale was low.
Of course, what made Yao Wenjin even more ashamed was that although Chen Hai was defeated in this battle, the casualties when he finally withdrew were far more than his initial estimate, and the resilience shown by the generals in the position was insufficient, and even the Dongcheng position was defeated by the Tiger Roar elite under Yu Zonghu several times, and he used reserve soldiers and horses to barely stabilize his position.
Seeing Chen Hai looking at the night sky in the distance, silent, Yao Wenjin rode over to review: "After all, I still have strong shortcomings, and my training is not solid enough, so that there are mistakes in many places today. ”
Chen Hai waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't blame you, the time for military training is still too little, it's really good to be able to fight like this, Uncle Seventeen, Yao Xuan, they are very heroic......
Yao Qitai, Yao Xuan, father and son, accompanied by royal horses, heard Chen Hai's praise, and it was a little unbearable.
I think that when Yao Qitai was the Zuo Sicheng of the Taiwei Mansion, Chen Hai was training in Fujiaoling in the West Garden, and he also wanted to bully Chen Hai by using his power at that time, who would have thought that after a few years of time, his father and son could only look at him.
Although Chen Hai did not mention the old things, when he was in the third town division of the Longxiang Army, he used Yao Qitai as the military commander to assist Yao Wenjin in handling military affairs, and his power and position were not light, but Yao Qitai was not sure whether Chen Hai really had nothing to do with the old things, and he was also quite worried in his heart these days.
Hearing Chen Hai mention himself, Yao Qitai drove forward and offered advice: "We failed to capture Wusheng Pass this time, so we hastily withdrew our troops, I am afraid that there will be injured morale of the generals, I think the Third Town Division should be stationed in the Jingbei area, form a nail, firmly nail the 150,000 people of the Su Guard Army here, take advantage of the terrain in the northwest of Gyeonggi, entangle with it, and train the troops in battle, so that the generals of the Third Town Division can grow up as soon as possible. The northwest of Gyeonggi and Qintong Pass, which can be said to be the two wings of Guining City, are convenient to communicate with each other, and at the same time force the Su Guard Army to expand their troops and horses on a larger scale, and if the stalemate continues, the situation will also be favorable to me. ”
Chen Hai nodded, if the Bone Tower of the Afterlife had already begun to operate, if it hadn't been for the fact that a large number of demon soldiers had already begun to gather at the rift between the two domains, Yao Qitai's strategy would have been more secure.
Yao's Taoguang has been obscure over the years, and there are only a few people in the descendants of Yao Qitai who serve in the court and the Xiyuan Army, and those who really have the ability to command the army are Yao Qitai and other people, Yao Taihe and others, although they are strong, but when it comes to commanding the army to fight and governing secular affairs, they are not as good as Yao Qitai.
However, thanks to Yao Wenjin's life and death catastrophe, the Yao family can be regarded as a real leading figure.
Looking at Yao Qitai's eyes full of hope that the proposed strategy could be adopted, Chen Hai smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Seventeen may not know that this battle is a battle that I want Uncle Wen Jin to defeat but not win......"
"Ah!" Yao Qitai also felt that Yao Wenjin was too restrained to use soldiers during the day, but thinking about the gap between him and Chen Hai, he didn't say much during the war, but he didn't expect that Chen Hai did it on purpose.
"......" Chen Hai said with a slight smile, "If I want to personally lead 150,000 soldiers and horses to Wusheng Pass, how can I lead the 150,000 Su guards out of the front line of Meiwu Fort and Yanjing City?"
"Lead the snake out of the hole?" Yao Qitai asked in shock.
"That's right," Chen Hai said, "In the next step, we will go straight to Meiwu Fort and focus the main force of Yu Zonghu's troops at Meiwu Fort to ensure that Le Yi and Han Jian can lead the Fourth Town Army to go around from the Jingnan region to the east of Yanjing City at the fastest speed and seize Shenling Mountain!"
"......" Yao Qitai was stunned, he thought that Chen Hai would lead the Longxiang army to stalemate with the Su Guards for a while, and wait for the time to be more favorable to them before starting a decisive battle with the Su Guards, but he didn't expect Chen Hai to pounce on them all at once, pinch the necks of the Su Guards, and force them to fight a decisive battle.
Although the scope of Shenling Mountain is not very wide, it is close to the east gate of Yanjing City, and seizing Shenling Mountain can not only directly threaten Yanjing City from the east flank, but also cut off the communication between the Su Guard Army and Qinglongyu and Lichuan County.
However, if you want Le Yi and Han Jian's troops to pass smoothly from Jingnan City, you must nail the more than 200,000 elites of the Tiger Roar Battalion deployed by Yu Zonghu on the front line of Meiwu Fort, otherwise the flanks of Le Yi and Han Jian's troops will be completely exposed to the front of the Tiger Roar Battalion.
The Guining army was only made of straw, and its combat power was even more unbearable than that of the Third Town Division, and the Third Town Division had just returned from Tiechengling without success, could they really nail Yu Zonghu to Meiwu Fort?
What's more, after the consumption of the daytime battle, the quenching heavy arrows have been exhausted, and there are only six light and heavy celestial machine chariots left that can still advance and retreat with the army, not to mention heavy weapons such as catapults, how to fight the next battle?
Chen Hai seemed to be able to guess what Yao Qitai was thinking, and said: "From here to the southeast, one hundred and twenty miles away is Qinwangling, and from Qinwangling to the southeast, there is Meiwubao, and to the southwest is Guininghou-let's go to Qinwangling for a day, and the missing arrows and weapons should be replenished!"
Seeing that Chen Hai was so eloquent, Yao Qitai didn't ask much, but only assisted Yao Wenjin to reorganize the army and horses and drive to the side of Qin Wangling.
It was almost in the afternoon of the next day that hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses rushed to Qinwangling to rest and recuperate, and at this time, Yao Qitai saw twenty wind and flame airships flying towards Qinwangling under the protection of the war bird battalion.
In the impression of the world, the Long Xiang army built a total of ten wind flame airships before and after, but never thought that the number of wind flame airships that appeared in Qinwangling at this time was as many as twenty, and seeing the wind flame airship formation gradually approaching, Yao Qitai could also see clearly that the wind flame airship did not transport any soldiers and horses this time, as well as thirty light and heavy celestial machine chariots, six super rifled crossbows that had appeared in Liquan, and thousands of wooden boxes full of quenched heavy blade bullets......
************************
Although the scouts of the Su Guard Army could not get close to Qinwangling, the fact that the Third Town Division of the Longxiang Army was reorganized in Qinwangling and received a large number of heavenly weapons could not be hidden from the eyes of the Su Guard scouts.
The people of the inner court had just celebrated because of Chen Hai's defeat in Tiechengling, but at this moment, anyone could guess that things were far from being as simple as they imagined before, and Chen Hai was most likely deliberately in Tiechengling, the purpose was to attract the 150,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhao Zhong and Yu Haode to the north of Jingbei, and block them north of Qinwangling.
Yanran Palace, Qianzhen Palace.
Yu Zonghu sat in the hall with a pale face, and Bi Lan, Gao Wang, and the others talked about Chen Hai's movements and final intentions in a panic.
At this time, there was light pouring out from the ground of the main hall like water waves, and a majestic momentum poured out from the underground palace of the Qianzhen Palace.
The momentum was as violent as thunder for a while, as if to sweep away all obstacles, and then it was as warm as a spring, making people forget their worries, and then everyone seemed to be in purgatory—the changes were tangled together, and they changed in an instant, and everyone felt a tremble.
Even Yu Zonghu has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and his mind has already been as hard as iron, and at this time, he has changed color.
After a long while, a muffled thunder came from the underground palace, and the Qianzhen Hall trembled a few times, and finally calmed down. Several people hurriedly stood up, and after a while, the exit of the underground palace opened silently, and they saw "Wen Boyuan" walking out of it with a solemn face.
"Congratulations on the success of the master and the return to the world!" Yu Zonghu and the others all leaned over to congratulate.
It turned out that Wei Ziya couldn't go out of retreat, but he took Wen Boyuan's body and rebuilt.
Wei Ziya's natal longevity had been exhausted decades ago, and he had no choice but to seize the body of a little eunuch surnamed Gu in Yanran Palace to rebuild, but after all these years, he has not been able to re-cultivate to the realm of spiritual flesh and soul one, and he has never been able to form a pill, so that his true supernatural powers cannot be displayed, and he was almost killed by Chen Hai and Cangyi next to Guining City.
At this time, he sent the Dao fetus that he had achieved for thousands of years into Wen Boyuan's body, although it was still far inferior to the body of the deity in his prime, it was still much better than before, and at least he could continue to live for a hundred years.
However, Wei Ziya's face was not half happy, and everyone didn't know why, but Wei Ziya didn't look like his cultivation had gone wrong.
Snatching the abandonment is not just a matter of moving the Dao fetus that has been cultivated for thousands of years into Wen Boyuan's body, Wei Ziya also needs to re-disperse the three souls and six spirits that have been refined into the Dao fetus, so as to carry out a preliminary spiritual and physical fusion with Wen Boyuan's body.
However, at the most critical moment of the seizure, Wei Ziya suddenly sensed a strong crisis between heaven and earth, almost washing away all the three souls and six spirits he had dispersed.
At a critical time, Wei Ziya relied on the solid Dao Heart cultivated for thousands of years to reintegrate the Three Souls and Six Spirits into the Dao Fetus, which was a risky success.
Although Wei Ziya didn't know what this perceived crisis portended, even if he still had lingering palpitations at this time, he just wouldn't say it for no reason to shake the hearts of the army, but asked Yu Zonghu and the others: "I've been in retreat for nearly two months, what's the situation?"
