Chapter 924: Appointment

The demons initially placed their main offensive direction on the western front, and on the more than 1,000-mile defense line guarded by Yanguantai, the section of defense line that Yunmen Fortress was responsible for was much shorter than the other defense lines, but the pressure it was under was more than twice as strong as that of other fortresses.

However, after such a long standoff, the corpses of the demon soldiers accumulated in front of the Cloud Gate Fortress have almost accumulated seven or eight hundred thousand, while the cumulative casualties of the generals in Beiling Town are only three or four hundred thousand, especially the recent battle losses have dropped to a level of envy - the demons have suffered such a high battle loss ratio on the battlefield of the Cloud Gate Fortress, which naturally makes the demons who have made up their minds to fight a war of attrition in the Demon Deer Ridge adjust their deployment and change the direction of their initiative.

Ji Jiangye naturally knew this, but when he asked this at this time, he still thought that Chen Hai could explain the deeper reasons thoroughly, instead of fooling around with such a perfunctory slap on the horse, shaking his head and saying, "Don't think about playing tricks with me- On many other defense lines, the generals also dare to fight with their lives, and there are definitely a lot of matches with the heavenly machine weapons, and even many elite military attachés, the resources obtained from the clan are better than Beiling Town, but the casualties are worse than Beiling Town, and the results are not as prominent as Beiling Town, but I and many true monarchs have thought about it for a long time and have not thought through it......"

Chen Li let out a long breath.

Ji Jiangye said that many generals on the defense of the fortress can dare to fight with their lives, and this is not wrong.

After all, before the raging demon tribulation, Ji Jiangye and they absolutely could not tolerate the collapse of the defense line of the Demon Zhangling, the children of the sect lords served as generals and guarded the imperial army, regardless of their concubines, if they dared to flee without a fight, or if they fought perfunctory, they would definitely not leave half a point of mercy when they killed.

Three or four years have passed since the outbreak of the Demon Tribulation, and neither the Jiang family nor the Ji family know how many children have died on the battlefield, nor do they know how many children have been beheaded by their own hands to set an example.

However, the strict and even almost cruel military law could not completely solve the problem of soldiers and horses in the 36 towns in the northwest from a deeper level, and the most important point was that the other defenders of the fortress mainly relied on the defense of the city fortress ditch in recent years, and rarely dared to fight a counterattack in front of the battle.

To put it bluntly, I still don't want to be meritorious, but I want to be innocent, and to put it bluntly, the generals who were born in the sect lords did not really dare to fight with their lives.

Whether it's a heavy crossbow or a six-chambered heavy load, the three sects have also mastered the method of casting, and the range of only 2,000 steps is its largest short handle, and the defense of the demon offensive front is also getting tighter and tighter, limiting the role of the heavy crossbow and the six-chambered heavy load, at this time, the defenders need to kill out of the city fortress, disrupt the array of demon soldiers, or suppress the front line of the demon soldiers within the range of the heavy crossbow regardless of casualties - to do this, Beiling Town seems to suffer great casualties, but in fact, the demon clan has to pay a heavier price.

And when it comes to the heavy celestial chariot, it is cast to fight against the powerful impact of the demons on the battlefield, and it needs to be attacked and killed by the defenders in order to play the greatest role.

Beiling Town took over the Yunmen Fortress defense line, and the main principle of the large-scale transformation of the defense line is conducive to counterattacking, and every battle must be counterattacked, which makes Beiling Town guard the Yunmen Fortress, with few losses of men and horses, and the loss of heavenly weapons is a very terrifying number.

Chen Hai didn't know if Ji Jiangye understood this, but there were some things that Ji Jiangye didn't ask, and he would find an opportunity to say it.

The Tiancheng Mountain Demon Clan has been confronting each other in front of the Demon Deer Ridge for so long, and the intention has been revealed, that is, to completely exhaust the military potential of the three sects in the Northwest Regions, and the Demon Deer Ridge is a place that the three sects must defend, and the human race soldiers and horses are not strong in field warfare, and if they want to thwart the conspiracy of the Tiancheng Mountain Demon Clan, the strategy is also very simple, that is, to do everything possible to reduce their own losses, increase the losses of the demons, and finally make the demons unbearable, then this battle is the victory of the people and the defeat of the demons.

A lot of times, it's that simple, but it's not easy to do that.

After listening to Chen Hai's words for half an hour, he saw that the guards on the other defense lines rushed over one after another, and Ji Jiangye ended this conversation with Chen Hai.

The more than ten days of offensive made everyone a little tired, Ji Jiangye naturally didn't say too much nonsense, waved his hand and sprinkled a piece of spiritual light, and a huge light curtain appeared above the council hall, showing the vast wasteland north of Tiancheng Mountain and the northeast realm of the Demon Domain.

This should be the information gathered by the most elite scouts of the three sects who infiltrated the deeper depths of the Northern Demon Domain during this time.

Chen Hai stared intently at the constantly changing light curtain, and he could see that the scale of the demon soldiers gathered on the western front towards the Demon Deer Ridge had not slowed down, so that the military pressure on the front line of the Demon Deer Ridge would not be reduced in the slightest, but there were more demon soldiers gathered on the eastern front, and there were many large groups of demon soldiers composed of hundreds of thousands or even two or three hundred thousand demon generals gathered on the eastern front, which meant that more powerful demon forces entered the eastern front to participate in the war.

Chen Hai let out a long sigh and said, "According to the time, the pressure that my master respects them on the Eastern Front will multiply after a year and a half. ”

After the defense line of Gulan Mountain was broken, it has entered the fifth year, Jiang Yin, Qin Hushan, Yu Cang and other true monarchs took the Northwest Regions and Xi Tongguang from the millions of elites of the Beiting Zhuguo General's Mansion to collect the remnants of the Northeast Regions, and also held on to Tashan in the Songliao Great Plain for three years.

Under the threat of death and coldness, the Eastern Ting Zhu General's Mansion, the Southeast Regions Zhu General's Mansion and the Southern Ting Zhu General's Mansion all sent a large number of soldiers, horses and materials to Tashan, although the sacrifice was tragic, Jiang Yin and the others finally barely stood in Tashan.

Although Tashan has spiritual veins that can spread the heaven and earth magic array, but after all, it is a plain area, and it is difficult to take advantage of the mountains and rivers, and at the same time, the south of the tower line is a fallen area, and the Dayan Mountain Range has fallen into the hands of the demons, making it more difficult to transport materials to the Tashan defense line without hinterland support, which makes the casualties on the Tashan defense line more tragic than that of the Demon Deer Ridge.

Ji Jiangye said in a deep voice: "On the Yongjing side, Jiang Yin and Xi Tongguang should have noticed these changes, I don't know how Yongjing's side will respond, and I don't know what kind of measures the Dongting Zhuguo General's Mansion near the Tashan defense line will have, but we still have to consider the worst-case scenario, just in case, what do you think?"

At this time, there were seven or eight million elite demon soldiers, entangled with the six million elite soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of Yongjing on the Great Plain of Zhongzhou, and they had won and lost each other in the past few years, but no one could eat anyone, and they did not dare to fight a decisive battle easily.

The line of the Nuchuan River and the Wantao River on the southern line of the Northwest Region is still relatively safe at present, and only a small number of miscellaneous demons are infested, and they can be cleared by relying on local military equipment, but they consider the most serious consequences of the collapse of the Tashan defense line, and at this time, it is indeed necessary to allocate some troops and resources to strengthen the defense of the Nuchuan River and the Wantao River just in case.

Ji Jiangye saw that everyone had no objections, and said: "In the next period of time, although I am still in the Demon Deer Ridge, most of my attention will be on the southeast, in order to make sure - and Chen Hai is in charge of Beiling Town, presiding over the construction of the gallop road from Dongdu Mountain to the Demon Deer Ridge, and has made outstanding achievements, I hope that from now on, Chen Hai will preside over the defense line of Yantai Pass, what are your opinions?"

According to the usual practice, the town guard generals need to be in charge of the Heavenly Throne True Monarch, not to mention that Chen Hai presides over the defense line of Yantai Pass, in addition to Beiling Town, he also has to control the two armies of Liya Town and Yantai Town, regardless of whether there is a formal appointment, in fact, it is equivalent to the general of Duhu.

At present, the Demon Deer Ridge has gathered seventeen or eighteen Heavenly True Monarchs, not to mention Ji Jiangye, Jiang Jin and Yuan Zhou's cultivation, qualifications and status are not known to be much higher than Chen Hai, and the important task of leading the soldiers and horses of Yantai Pass and serving as the commander of the western wing defense line is not Chen Hai's turn.

However, many people have expected this, and Beiling Town's record over the years is also brilliant, and there are still two True Monarch levels under Chen Hai's command, at such a grim moment, everyone knows the importance of promoting Chen Hai.

Just like when Jiang Yin was used to guard the defense line of Pingma Mountain, he was not the head of the three sects in the end, and Jiang Yin became the general of the Zhuguo, it is unknown whether he will survive tomorrow, who still cares about those broken rules?

Seeing that there was no strong opposition from everyone, Ji Jiangye continued to announce his further plans: "The Yantai town soldiers have suffered heavy casualties in these major battles, and they don't want to be broken up, so they need to be withdrawn immediately to replenish the living forces for rest. The Miryang town soldiers led by Le Heguang Zhenjun also withdrew to Zhongling to rest this time, and will be used as reserve soldiers and horses in the future - Wu Cheng Si Zhenjun led the Liya town soldiers to enter the Xiqiao Fortress where the Milyang town soldiers withdrew, and were controlled by Chen Hai, the general of the left capital of Beizhen. However, the Tengxi Ridge and the reserve soldiers and horses on the side of Yantai Pass that the soldiers and horses withdrawn from Yantai Town need Beiling Town to expand the number of soldiers and horses to 600,000 for filling......"

There is no free dinner in the world, Chen Hai was suddenly promoted to the position of the general of Beizhen Zuodu at this time, not only him, but also the soldiers of Beiling Town, his descendants, also need to bear greater responsibility.

Beiling Town has long been able to organize 500,000 soldiers and horses, but it has always maintained less than half of the standing army, the biggest advantage of this is that on the one hand, Beiling Town needs to bear a limited defensive area, on the other hand, the strength can only increase the elite level, which can effectively reduce the loss of elite generals.

Chen Hai is now promoted to the general of Beizhen Zuoduhu, and it seems that he is in a high position, and his old opponent Wu Chengsi has to listen to his moderation, but in addition to keeping a part of the elite in Yantai Pass as a mobile and reserve soldier and horse, Beiling Town must also defend the two major fortresses of Yunmen and Tengxiling at the same time, and the length of the defense line has been tripled at once.

The soldiers of the Xuan Realm, as well as other materials, as consumables, the three sects will replenish Beiling Town in sufficient quantities in the future, but the elite military attaches and elite generals above the Spirit Clearing Realm and the Ming Realm are the core resources that the three sects attach the most importance to at present, either Chen Hai has the ability to recruit by himself, or he can only consume his old foundation.

The length of the defensive line has been lengthened by three times, and the proportion of elite generals in Beiling Town has been reduced by more than half, which is definitely not good news.

There were still a few true monarchs who had a high position for Chen Hai suddenly, and when they heard Ji Jiangye say all his plans, they immediately felt that they could accept it.

Chen Hai had a calm and resolute face, and said to Ji Jiangye: "Thank you for the trust of the Sect Sect Zhenjun, Chen Hai will do his best, and he will die, please rest assured, as long as Chen Hai's eight-foot body is not crippled, Yantai Pass will not fall into the clutches of the devil!"
