Chapter 984: Breaking through to the north

The two bloody demon shields condensed by the Blood Refining Demon Array, under the slashing of more than two thousand spirit sword magic weapons, and under the hundreds of thousands of heavy arrows, they could not support three or five breaths before they were shattered, and the demon village and the tens of thousands of demon soldiers stationed in it were completely exposed.

This demon soldier in the Demon Sail is completely regarded as a consumable to delay the advance of the Long Xiang Army, and there is no Demon Lord-level existence in the town, only a few unlucky Demon Lords who have made mistakes and angered the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen and Qiu Shan have been sent over.

If there is a chance to hold for two or three days, the vanguard elite who guards the main force of the Eastern Front crosses the Red Shadow Peak, and meets with the Great Demon Lord of Qiushan and they come from behind to cover up, or the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen does not hesitate to lead the 40,000 winged demon elite to kill from the flank at this time, these unlucky demon lords may still find a way to support and support, but at the moment there is no hope and chance of victory at all, these demon lords are eager to kill, and they are afraid of the thunderous anger of the great demon lords, at this moment they are also scattered in a hurry, taking the lead in escaping to the depths of the Dry Moon Ridge, and none of the demon marquis dares to step forward and fight hard。

As soon as the demon marquis and the demon general fled, in this way, the remaining demon soldiers who ran slowly, like a reed, were frantically harvested by the heavy crossbow and the six-chambered heavy crossbow.

Seeing this scene, the Great Demon Lord Wu was so angry that he vomited blood, but it led 40,000 winged demon elites in less than two hundred miles, but it didn't dare to move forward to approach the main force of the front army of the Long Xiang army.

The 20,000 imperial bird elites, under the leadership of Chen Hai, Zuo Er, Cang Yu and others, stared at the 30,000 imperial bird elites led by the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen, and the remaining 10,000 imperial bird elites, with the chariot clusters that rushed forward and the 5,000 heavy armored horses, spread out to the two wings, and poured the heavy arrows on the heads of the fleeing demon soldiers and miscellaneous demons without hesitation, and chased them for a hundred miles on the two wings before stopping the pace of pursuit.

Although it is said that this battle was fought heartily, it can almost be killed without being injured, and 100,000 demon soldiers and 230,000 miscellaneous demons can not be defeated, but the formation of the front army advancing forward is still more or less loose, and it still interferes with the march, and the front army will form two formations on the spot, hold the east and west flanks of the Kuyue Ridge, and rest and recuperate.

The front army repaired for two hours, dismantled the key parts of more than 20 Tianji chariots that broke down, dragged the remnants to a thousand-zhang rift valley on the east side of Kuyue Ridge, and then turned into the Chinese army and continued to embark on the road to the north to break through.

The rear army had to guard against the 500,000 elite demon cavalry led by the Great Demon Monarch Qiu Shan, and the speed was slower, but before midnight, they also stepped into the Dry Moon Ridge and marched north.

The speed at which the Long Xiang army broke through and advanced was too fast, and it was the first time that such a large-scale use of celestial chariots and heavy crossbows on the Eastern Front battlefield made Wu Zhen, Qiu Shan lead the demon cavalry and the winged demon elite, and they did not dare to get too close, and pulled the distance farther away, before continuing to follow the north.

At this moment, the Great Demon Monarch Wu Zhen and Qiu Shan expected that the Long Xiang Army was going to borrow the road from the northern foot of Yanquan Ridge, which was four or five thousand miles away, and stepped into the way of retreating westward, and immediately in addition to them personally staring at the back of the Long Xiang Army, they also ordered the 600,000 demon soldiers stationed on the western slope of Yanquan Ridge to advance to the northwest at the fastest speed under the command of the six Demon Lords, from the forest valley at the western foot of Yanquan Ridge, and enter the west bank of the Longchuan River, and prevent the Long Xiang Army from crossing the river by all means.

The speed of the Long Xiang army is fast, but from the northeast foot of Yanquan Ridge to detour, it will take three or four thousand miles to reach the east bank of the Longchuan River from the pass between Yanquan Ridge and Huangfenzi Mountain, and the pass between Yanquan Ridge and Huangfenzi Mountain is quite narrow, and the terrain has been destroyed by them in advance, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen and Qiu Shan expect that no matter how fast the speed of Long Xiang's army is, it will be delayed there for two to three days.

As one of the main streams flowing north into Xian'e Lake, the Longchuan River and the Huangfenzi Mountain are only the upstream source areas, but although the river here is only tens of meters wide, it is extremely dangerous, and the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen and Qiu Shan believe that even if the main force of the demon soldiers on the eastern front cannot come over in time, they will first transfer 500,000 demon soldiers over, and they will definitely be able to make the Long Xiang army suffer.

The demon soldiers of the Eastern Front were not without a soldier sent over at this time, from the time the Long Xiang Army abandoned the Red Dragon Ridge to the present, there were almost more than a dozen teams, totaling about 20,000 green scale demon guards, and they crossed the Red Dragon Ridge at the fastest speed, but Qiu Shan and Wu Zhen did not let this green scale demon guard meet them, but let them advance to the west bank of the Longchuan River through the Yanquan Ridge Pass controlled by the demons, from the forest valley at the western foot of the Yanquan Ridge, at a faster speed.

Wu Zhen and Wushan two demons plan to deploy denser and more powerful troops to smash the intention of the Longxiang army to cross the Longchuan River and retreat to the west, hoping to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Longxiang army on the east bank of the Longchuan River, and then the main force of the demon army will calmly approach Zibai Mountain.

After the next ten days, on the one hand, at the eastern foot of Yanquan Ridge, the Long Xiang army soared northward, Wu Zhen and Qiu Shan two demons led 500,000 demon horsemen and 40,000 winged demon elites to stare at them almost six or seven hundred miles away; on the other hand, at the western foot of Yanquan Ridge, a large force, a large force of black tide-like demon soldiers, also soared northward, at this time, there were also groups of elite demon soldiers who crossed the Red Dragon Ridge, crossed the Yanquan Ridge, and entered the forest valley at the western foot of the Yanquan Ridge, and also soared north at the fastest speed—— This is also to ensure that when the decisive battle is fought along the Longchuan River, the superiority in military strength can completely suppress the superiority of the Longxiang army in the heavenly machine warfare.

At the same time, the more and more demon soldiers passed through the Red Shadow Peak every day, and it became faster and faster, almost by the seventh or eighth day, every day that passed, the soldiers and horses that the demon clan could use at the western foot of the Murowei Mountain would increase by eight to one hundred thousand.

It was delayed by the Long Xiang army on the eastern front for nearly two years, and the great demon lord Shang Mu was also itching in his bones, and on the third day, it had already rushed over to meet Wu Zhen and Qiu Shan, and then directly took a guard, first rushed to the west bank of the Longchuan River to sit in the town, and waited for the demon soldiers behind to rush over to meet it, and completely seal the passage of the Long Xiang army's westward retreat.

The Long Xiang army was on the eleventh day, arriving at the east side of the pass between Yanquan Ridge and Huangfenzi Mountain, where they stayed and rested for a day, and when Wuzhen, Qiushan, Shang Mou and other demons knew that Long Xiang's army would advance westward from this opening, and would tear the last crack from their not yet very complete blockade and flee westward, Long Xiang's army continued to advance north along the eastern foot of Huangfenzi Mountain after a day's recovery.

At this moment, Wu Zhen, Qiu Shan, and Shang Mu were all a little dumbfounded.

The Yellow Tomb Mountain in the north of Yanquan Ridge is not much precipitous, but to the north of Yanquan Ridge, in addition to Huang Tomb Mountain, there are several mountain ranges that extend longitudinally from north to south for three to five thousand miles, and between these mountain ranges, there are also several rivers that flow to Xianmoth Lake, in these areas, it is only conducive to large-scale north-south movement of soldiers and horses, not to mention that the Long Xiang Army also carries tens of thousands of heavenly chariots and baggage vehicles.

"The Long Xiang army wants to take a detour from the northern foot of Longyang Mountain and retreat west from the southern foot of the Dajin Mountain?" The Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen was also confused at this moment, they were like a black cliff, standing on the top of a mountain cliff, and they couldn't figure out the intention of the Long Xiang army for a while.

"At this time, Xi Tongguang has already led his troops to retreat south, although the Great Demon Lord Fang Pu did not dare to force Zibai Mountain too close, but at this time, he also led his troops to occupy the Sky Ridge at the middle foot of the Great Golden Ridge, Fang Pu Great Demon Lord has enough time to block the passage on the south side of the Sky Ridge, could it be that after the Long Xiang army made a detour from the northern foot of Longyang Mountain, it turned to the southwest? He wants to go around in a big circle with us?"

If this is the case, they are not afraid, in this case, the Long Xiang army will travel a longer distance, and they will have more time to gather more and stronger forces in the north or northwest of Cangling City to strangle the Long Xiang army.

"Could it be that the Long Xiang Army didn't even think about retreating to the Zibai Mountain Range, but repeated the old tricks, crossed the Nine Plains Fortress again, and then returned to Tianluo Valley through the wasteland between Dajin Mountain and Xuanyin Valley?" Shang Mu suddenly thought of an even more unbelievable possibility.

Qiu Shan and Wu Zhen thought it was impossible at first, but they thought about it carefully, if they decided that it was possible for the Long Xiang army to break through to the west by sticking to the southern foot of Dajin Mountain, and let Fang Pu Great Demon Lord lead his troops to enter the south of Motian Ridge in advance to prepare to intercept it, wouldn't it be that the north of Dajin Mountain to Xuanyin Valley was still empty of troops, and there was no ability to intercept Long Xiang's army from retreating west to Tianluo Valley?

"What should we do?" Qiu Shan and Wu Zhen looked at Shang Mou at the same time, the four great demon lords of Xuanyin Valley have always been led by Shang Mou, and at this time, they also want Shang Mu to take the last main force.

If the Long Xiang army decided to cross the Jiuyuan Fortress to the north, they would lead the most elite mobile combat force to pursue the past, and at the same time let the Great Demon Lord Fang Pu lead his troops to retreat to the north of Motianling to intercept it, and the time to advance west would be delayed for three or five months, and when the time came to the west of Zibai Mountain, I am afraid that they would not even be able to catch a single human hair!

If the Longxiang army is allowed to cross the Jiuyuan Fortress now, Qiu Shan, Wu Zhen and the Winged Demon Elite will be able to intercept the nine or eight billion mortals of the human race west of the Tianhe River and raise them in captivity as blood food.

"No, the Longxiang army must be destroyed, and it can't be allowed to become a climate anymore!" Under the angry clap of the Great Demon Monarch Shang Mou, a thousand-meter-high mountain cliff collapsed, and said resolutely, "The soldiers and horses west of the Longquan River will march north with all their might, follow me into Xian'e Lake and the west of Longshou Mountain, and ensure that the mouth of the Longxiang army from the north foot of Longshou Mountain to the west is blocked, and I will only have 700,000 demon horsemen. The 60,000 Winged Demon Elite will be handed over to you to command, and at the same time, the Great Demon Lord Fang Pu will lead his troops to withdraw from the Sky Ridge and enter the southern wing of Xuanyin Valley to intercept it, you must annihilate this Dragon Warrior Army in the Demon Domain at all costs...... The long journey will consume the Heavenly Machine Chariot very much, and once the Long Xiang Army loses most of the Heavenly Machine Chariots, even if there are a large number of heavy crossbows in hand, it is not enough to be afraid!"

The range of the heavy crossbow is still too close, and what they dare not impact at this time is actually the battle formation of the heavenly machine chariot and the heavy bore crossbow - after all, hundreds of thousands of elite demon horses, hedging with tens of thousands of heavy heavenly machine chariots, do not have too much advantage, and once the front line is delayed by a large number of heavy heavenly chariots, the cumulative damage of the heavy crossbow's continuous shooting is the most fatal.

At this time, if you want to return along the original road, the rugged road of tens of thousands of miles, even if they don't make a move, the Long Xiang army can keep two thousand Tianji chariots and withdraw to Tianluo Valley, it is already the top of the sky.

In fact, as long as the time when the Heavenly Machines Chariots of the Long Xiang Army were reduced to only three or four thousand, they would not have any major problems in meeting with the millions of ordinary demon soldiers led by the Great Demon Lord Fang Pu and annihilating the Long Xiang Army in the long wasteland.

Twelve days later, the Long Xiang army arrived at the eastern foot of Longyang Mountain, in the process, every day, almost thirty or forty heavenly chariots and almost a number of tracked baggage vehicles were abandoned on the side of the road because of various problems, but at this time, in addition to the six or seven hundred thousand demon horses behind him, at the western foot of Longyang Mountain, the speed at which the Great Demon Lord Shang Mu gathered the demon soldiers was not slow at all.

As Shang Mu Lao Mo expected, Long Xiang's army once again did not choose to break through to the west, but continued to the north of Jiuyuansai, and arrived at Jiuyuansai at the western foot of Dajin Mountain a month later, at this time it was already the summer of the forty-first year of Jianxing, and it had been ten full years since the outbreak of the Demon Tribulation.

And Chen Hai has stepped into the Xingheng Domain from Yanzhou for nearly forty years.

When a large number of Tianji chariots were advancing eastward, they had been worn out extremely badly, and when they broke through to the north, Chen Hai controlled the speed as much as possible, and he could not control more and more Tianji chariots from lying on their stomachs and scrapping them, so Chen Hai had to stop at Jiuyuansai for rest.

At this time, more and more demon soldiers poured into the south of Jiuyuan Fortress, although they were not in a hurry to attack the Jiuyuan Fortress with steep terrain and only a few passes, but it also completely blocked the possibility of Long Xiang's army going south and then entering the Northern Court......

However, so many soldiers and horses entangled the Long Xiang army, the Long Xiang army had no chance to get supplies from the outside, and it was also fortunate that there were many crippled villages and cities along the way, and the food stored in them was not cleaned up by the demons.

At this moment, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen led the gathering of up to 60,000 Winged Demon Elites, blocked the west side of the Long Xiang Army's marching route, and made a situation where the 60,000 Winged Demon Elites and the 30,000 Battle Bird Battalion of the Long Xiang Army fought to the death, and also prevented the Long Xiang Army from being able to obtain supplies through the Wind Flame Airship from the outside......

**********

The Tianhe River in August is still cool.

Himeno stood on a lone peak on the north bank of the Tenzuru River, looking out at the ethereal clouds to the northeast.

"Ji Zhangjiao, is the Long Xiang Army still staying in Jiuyuan Sai today?" Xi Tongguang flew up to the lonely peak, walked to Ji Jiangye's side, and asked.

Half a month ago, Xi Tongguang had already led his troops to retreat to the north bank of the Tianhe River to join Ji Jiangye, and it was only then that he learned that Chen Hai had decided to lead the Longxiang army through the Jiuyuan Fortress to the north into the Demon Domain to seek an opportunity to break through.

"Yes, the Long Xiang army is still staying in Jiuyuansai, and it will continue to go north in two days. Ji Jiangye said abruptly.

"Chen Hou is still too strong, he and Qin Zhenjun and them have led more than 100,000 disciples of the Spirit Realm to withdraw, and they can't abandon the four or five hundred thousand Tongxuan Realm generals, who can complain about them for half a point?" Xi Tongguang sighed, "Although these disciples can't be saved, we will try our best to make up for their family ......"

Ji Jiangye sent Jiang Yuwei to Cangling City to persuade Chen Hai to retreat west first, but Chen Hai was determined to go to the aid of Qin Hushan's department, but even if Chen Hai transferred 20,000 Tianji chariots from Tianluo Valley to meet him, Ji Jiangye and Xi Tongguang did not think that Chen Hai could bring back five or six hundred thousand generals from the eastern front - the demon soldiers who chased and intercepted them on the eastern front were too powerful, and the hills and mountains from Yuzhou from the east and north to the south were continuous, which was not conducive to the chariot cluster to break through to the west, and it was impossible for the Longxiang army to completely withdraw.

They even hoped that Chen Hai would give up the ordinary soldiers, give up the heavenly machine weapons and everything, and lead the elite of the 100,000 elites above the Spirit Realm to withdraw to Zibai Mountain, so that they would be able to welcome more victories for the Northwest Regions.

But when did Chen Hai really follow their advice?

At this time, Chen Hai led the Longxiang army to retreat north to Jiuyuansai, presumably making up his mind to fight to the death with four or five hundred thousand ordinary generals, and he would not flee alone.

Although Chen Hai's move objectively won at least three or five months for the people of Beiting to retreat westward, if the Long Xiang army was completely annihilated in the depths of the vast demon domain, it would be an immeasurable loss!

However, Chen Hai said it well, he was stubborn, and if he didn't say it well, he was stubborn and self-serving, and Ji Jiangye and Xi Tongguang also had nothing to do with him!
