Chapter 967: Red Shadow Peak
After listening to Chen Hai's words, Li Yongchang still hesitated in his heart.
Under the raging demon tribulation, he had already recognized the faces of the sect lord's disciples, and even most of them even did not hesitate to abandon their loved ones and flee alone in order to survive, Chen Hai now wanted to force so many people to be organized into a military formation like a meat mill, and confront the elite demon soldiers who were ten or even dozens of times stronger than them, worried that as soon as the order was announced, it would cause harassment, not to mention intercepting the remnants of the defeated generals and clan children who fled through Cangling City.
However, a figure like Zhao Xuanming will kill if he says he will kill him, and if he says that he will destroy the clan, Zhou Wenwei and Chen Zhengqing will not doubt Chen Hai's determination, so they immediately took the order out and cooperated with Li Yongchang.
Seeing Li Yongchang leave with a hesitant look, Cang Yi sighed and said: "Such a cruel bloody battle, or the children of the Han Shu and the ordinary people can be trusted to ......."
Chen Hai nodded, the children of the sect lord, even if they are not successful, they are pampered and pampered, and they cherish their lives, in comparison, most of the mortals, even in the era when there is no demon calamity, they bear the serious exploitation of the sect lords, and they are always struggling for hunger and hunger, even in the Xingheng Domain, where the aura of heaven and earth is so abundant, most people's lifespan is difficult to exceed sixty or seventy years old, and even a considerable number of people die at a young age, too miserable, more willing to pin their hopes on the afterlife, so they do not hesitate to die, dare to fight hard.
However, the proportion of people who have a foundation in cultivation is too small.
Chen Hai also knew that the children of the sect lords were forcibly recruited into the army, and the morale would not be much stronger, but he forcibly recruited these children of the sect lords into the army, and he was just acting as meat shields and cannon fodder, and in the end, if he could select a group of elites, it would already be a great luck.
And he is the only way to deal with the next crisis.
Li Yongchang had very correct doubts, but soon found that his doubts were unnecessary, Zhou Wenwei and Chen Zhengqing personally cooperated with him to forcibly recruit the children of the sect lords into the army, and the slightest hesitation and refusal were all killed on the spot.
At first, it was inevitable that there would be some riots, but six or seven hundred people were killed in the street, and the riots subsided, and a group of sect lords with cultivation foundations were quickly screened out and sent to the camp in the north of the city for reorganization.
The recruitment of the people was relatively smoother.
Hearing that when he entered the barracks, he would be able to take the Xianjia flying boat and send him directly to the safety rear, and if he could survive the bloody battle, he would be able to directly enter the Xianshan Mountain to practice, and suddenly more than a dozen recruitment points in the city were crowded with people.
Li Yongchang, Zhou Wenwei, and Chen Zhengqing naturally also selected hunters and mountain people who were physically strong, had some martial arts skills, and had a fairly simple temperament, and were incorporated into the army.
Within two days, the size of the garrison had rapidly expanded to 300,000.
In the process, the officials who had previously presided over the affairs of Cangling City were also found, and the electors were recruited to repair the ruined urn city and city walls.
Without the Heaven and Earth Protection Array, there is no way to build a fortress with a complex structure in a short period of time, and the old city wall system of Cangling City will not play any role at all in this level of fierce battle.
Not to mention the old demon Wu Zhen, even a few demon marquis under him can rise up and tear down a large section of the city wall in minutes, but three million mortals gather in Cangling City, if they can't arrange a lot of things for them to do, fear will crush them.
And in the next bloody battle, Chen Hai didn't know how many lives to fill in - in addition, the mortals who had no cultivation foundation at all, except for being a meat shield, could not fight against the elite demon soldiers, but they could still play some role in intercepting those remnants of the defeated generals and the children of the sect lords who fled west.
************************
Murowei Mountain, Red Shadow Peak.
Chiying Peak is located at the western end of the Suolongcheng in the middle section of the Murowei Mountains.
The Chiying Peak is more than 10,000 zhang high, is blocking the key rush of the Suolongcheng into the Beiting, the east is the Zhulong Gorge that enters the Murowei Mountain through the Suolongcheng, stretches for more than 2,000 li, the width ranges from more than ten miles to more than 100 li, and the terrain is relatively stable; The majestic mountains that stretch for seventy or eighty thousand miles can intercept the demon soldiers for three or four million miles.
Chiying Peak can be said to be a huge stopper, blocking the last exit of Suolongcheng, passing into the Yuzhou Basin from the Cutting Dragon Gorge, only a few narrow gorges at the foot of the mountain may pass, and there are tens of thousands of lofty mountains on both sides, and it is also the last throat of the three or four million elite demon soldiers.
When the demon robbery broke out, Xi Tongguang immediately set up the Yuzhou Metropolitan Protector General's Mansion, even if Jiang Yin led the elite of the human race to establish the Tashan defense line, Beiting did not give up the construction of the Yuzhou defense group with Chiying Peak as the core - this is also the key place to gather the remnants of the Northeast Domain, Beiting to import resources, soldiers and horses to the Tashan defense line, and recruit troops and horses from the Northwest Territory to pass through.
After the collapse of the Tashan defense line, Qin Hushan and Wu Zhidong led their troops to retreat all the way west, and finally stationed the main force at Chiying Peak- Seeing that the Tashan defense line built with tens of millions of elite corpses collapsed almost without resistance, the morale of the Northwest Army was also tragic, and most people lost their fighting spirit, but the west of Chiying Peak was a low mountain range, when they fled in a hurry, there were a lot of losses in the carriages and horses, and there was chaos in the Beiting territory, if they gave up Chiying Peak and led their troops to flee west, they might escape one or two thousand miles and be caught up by the main force of the demon soldiers, and there was no chance to escape to Zibai Mountain, which was 100,000 miles away.
To tell the truth, unless all the generals below the Spirit Realm are abandoned, there is no hope of breaking through at all - Qin Hushan and Wu Zhidong not to mention, most of the generals of the Northwest Qinwang Army are deeply influenced by Jiang Yin, as long as there is a glimmer of hope for struggle, they will not abandon the 600,000 ordinary soldiers and flee alone.
In this way, the last remaining 600,000 elites of the Northwest Qinwang Army were stationed in Chiying Peak, and for two months, they resisted the attacks of the Rakshasa Demon Clan again and again.
However, Qin Hushan and Wu Zhidong retreated westward in a hurry, and they didn't have too many spirit horses and chariots in their hands, and the defenders of Yuzhou were also defeated without a fight before they rushed, but they still brought a Ten Thousand Immortals Demon Array to withdraw, and protected the front of Chiying Peak, making it difficult for the main force of the demon soldiers on the eastern front to enter the Yuzhou Basin.
After that, the collapse of the Jiuyuan defense line in Beiting and the news of the victory of the Demon Deer Ridge came at the same time.
Zhao Xuanming abandoned and fled, Jiuyuan Fortress opened the gap, and the situation in the Northern Court would completely collapse at any time, which meant that their retreat would be completely sealed, but the great victory of the Demon Deer Ridge made them see the hope of defending the Northwest Domain, and at the same time, it was not meaningless to see that they were stationed in the Red Shadow Peak.
The main force of the demon clan on the eastern front has to detour from the foothills of Mount Murowei into the Northern Court, not only is it a matter of 60,000 or 70,000 miles, but there are quite a lot of big rivers that flow from the southern foot of Murowei Mountain to the southern plains of Songliao and to the western region.
Entering the hinterland of the Songliao Plain, the embankment of the river has been in disrepair for a long time over the years, flooding everywhere, forming a swamp, the water flow is relatively stable, as long as the swamp is avoided or can pass quickly from the shallow area, but it is close to the river between the mountains at the eastern foot of the Murowei Mountain, the river is deep and wide, and the water flow is extremely turbulent, even if the river water that is more than ten miles or even dozens of miles wide is frozen with magic, forming a channel across the river, it takes quite a long time.
Qin Hushan and they estimated that they would hold the Red Shadow Peak and force the main force of the demon soldiers on the eastern front to go around from the south, not to mention that they could delay them for more than a year, and at this time, even if the North Court collapsed, there were only two million demon soldiers entering the North Court from the north, and it would be difficult to pose a threat to the defense line built by the three sect generals in Zibai Mountain, which would also give a considerable part of the sect lords and mortals in the North Court the opportunity to escape into the Northwest Territory through Zibai Mountain, and accumulate deeper strength for the subsequent anti-demon resistance of the three sects.
Of course, after the large group of winged demons on the eastern front fled westward and circled to the Red Shadow Peak, a few transmission talismans were consumed, and the scouts could not penetrate out, and Qin Hushan and they also lost contact with the Northwest Regions.
In the early morning of this day, repelling a new round of offensive by the demon soldiers on the eastern front, Qin Hushan retreated to the camp to breathe, and when he returned to the big tent, he had not yet sat down, and suddenly stood up with Fu Siyuan at the same time in surprise, and looked far to the west.
Wu Zhidong, Qin Qian and the others asked, "What's the matter, what happened in the west, it was the demon soldiers of Xuanyin Valley who killed it?"
Zhao Xuanming abandoned and fled, the defense line of the Jiuyuan Fortress was in vain, and the demon soldiers of the Xuanyin Valley assembled in the north of the Jiuyuan Fortress were under the command of the Great Demon Lord of Wuzhen, and at this time, they were killed from the west, and Wu Zhidong and Qin Qian would not feel the slightest surprise.
Qin Hushan shook his head and said, "It's very strange that the large group of Winged Demons who gathered in the Red Dragon Ridge suddenly split up and headed west like a great enemy. ”
"It should be that Chen Hai's leading troops are approaching - Wu Zhen Old Demon's forward troops and horses are insufficient, and it is difficult to transfer the follow-up soldiers and horses for a while, so he can only draw the Winged Demon Elite from here to reinforce him!" Fu Siyuan speculated.
Although their contact with the outside world was cut off, they could still judge some of the situation from the movement of the demon soldiers in a radius of two or three thousand miles around.
Shang Mu and Qiu Shan two demons, although they transferred fifty or sixty thousand winged demon elites to the west of Chilong Ridge, they still did not have the ability to storm Chiying Peak from the west.
At this time, the Winged Demon Elite scattered to the west of the Red Dragon Ridge suddenly shrank back to the Red Dragon Ridge, and also divided a Winged Demon Elite to advance westward, naturally there was a strong enemy approaching in the west, which caused the Demon Soldiers to have such a move.
They also knew before that Chen Hai would personally lead an elite army to support them, so it was naturally not difficult to guess that Chen Hai should lead a small group of elite combat forces first, and he was about to take over the Red Shadow Peak at the fastest speed.
"Shall we immediately send troops to meet Chen Hai?" Qin Qian immediately couldn't suppress his excitement and asked, but when he saw his grandfather Qin Hushan peeking into the eyes of Fu Siyuan and Yun Shi, he knew that Fu Siyuan, Yun Shi, and Fu Shaoqun were embarrassed in front of Chen Hai, the remnant of Liuyang Palace.
In the battle of killing immortals, more than half of the Tianwei True Monarch on the entire Tashan defense line was ambushed, Fu Siyuan took Fu Shaoqun and Yun Shi to finally get out of the encirclement, and saw that the situation of Juetianling and Dingtao Pass was irretrievable, and did not flee to the south to Taishang Tianzun, and fled all the way to Chifeng City, persuading Qin Hushan and Wu Zhidong to take advantage of the fact that there were not many demon soldiers in front of them, and decisively gave up Chifeng City and led the troops to retreat into Suolongcheng......
Fu Siyuan didn't think too much about it at that time, but just thought that the Northwest Qinwang Army was extremely elite, as long as it was not annihilated and shrunk into Murowei Mountain, it would make the demon soldiers quite jealous, and they would not go south with all their might, which could be regarded as the last struggle they made to save the defeat!
But he didn't expect that the three sects in the northwest would win the great victory of the Demon Deer Ridge and almost completely annihilate the Tiancheng Mountain Demon Clan, so he stayed in Chiying Peak even more firmly, hoping to help the Northwest Qinwang Division to delay the main force of the demon soldiers on the eastern front for a longer time, so that the Northern Court could have more men and horses to withdraw into the Northwest Region, and accumulate more anti-demon strength for the three sects in the northwest and the Beiling army.
Of course, at this time, Fu Siyuan, Yun Shi, and Fu Shaoqun could also guess the cause of Jiang Yin's death at this time.
After Jiang Yin led his troops to defeat the demon soldiers of Tiancheng Mountain, he ordered him to lead his troops to give up the edict of Tianluo Valley, and Fu Siyuan also participated in the drafting, at that time, he was mainly afraid that Jiang Yin's motives for leading his troops to the Northern Expedition were not pure, and he was afraid that after Jiang Yin controlled Tianluo Valley, the strange treasures of Liuyang Palace that fell to the Blood Cloud Wasteland would fall into the hands of the three sects in the northwest.
The three sects in the northwest were unwilling to stir up right and wrong, Jiang Yin was finally framed and forced to retreat to Wanxian Mountain to retreat and cultivate, these details, Fu Siyuan knew best in their hearts.
At this time, Chen Hai caused a thunderstorm in front of the battle, dragging the Great Demon Lord Yan Yu into the thunder tribulation and chopping him to death, and Chen Hai was able to survive the thunder tribulation and step into the heavenly realm without any hindrance, Fu Siyuan couldn't guess that Jiang Yin, Jiang Jin, Yu Cang and even Chen Hai were all remnants of Liuyang Palace, and he couldn't guess that it was the power of Liuyang Palace who helped behind the scenes, and Fu Siyuan's brain was eating - Jiang Jin and Yu Cang were about to shout injustice again at this time: We are really not the remnants of Liuyang Palace......
At other moments, Taishang Tianzun wants to send troops to destroy the remnants of Liuyang Palace, and Fu Siyuan will also follow, even if he is even sympathetic to Jiang Yin's experience because of his personal feelings, but Liuyang Palace intends to restore, and the biggest and vainly trying to eliminate the strong enemy must be the Xuanyuan Palace, and the Fu clan, as a member of the Xuanyuan Palace, how can they stay out of the matter?
However, at this moment, Fu Siyuan couldn't take too much care of it, and he even hoped in his heart that the hidden power of Liuyang Palace could be stronger, strong enough to hold the last hope of the Chongguo Terran race!
After the collapse of the Tashan defense line, in addition to the Eastern Front, there was a demon soldier led by Shang Mu and Qiushan two demons, who were chasing after them, in addition, there were four or five million elite demon soldiers who were advancing wildly in the direction of Dayan Mountain, in this case, even if the Taishang Tianzun Qin Shimin led the most elite Xuanyuan Heavenly Army to withdraw from Dayan Mountain, Fu Siyuan also knew that Yongjing was completely finished.
Not only is Yongjing finished, but the Eastern Court, the Southeast Region, and the Northern Court, whose strength has been almost exhausted over the years, will be wiped out one after another, and tens of billions of mortals will not have time to withdraw, and it will become blood food that will make the demon clan doubly powerful.
At the moment when the Tashan defense line collapsed, Fu Siyuan almost wanted to die in battle, and he didn't want to watch the Chongguo Terran sliding into the tragic hell of despair step by step and irretrievably, and he would join Qin Hushan and Wu Zhidong, and he was only numb to make the final death struggle, until he heard the victory of Demon Deer Ridge, he could see a ray of light.
At this time, he could still take care of the blood feud between Liuyang Palace and Xuanyuan Upper Hall tens of thousands of years ago?
Of course, Fu Siyuan didn't know what the old people hidden behind the scenes in Liuyang Palace would think of them, after all, he and the Fu family were also part of the "rebels" back then.
Of course, Wu Zhidong, Qin Qian and other generals of the three sects guessed that Chen Hai and his reinforcements were almost close to Chiying Peak, but they were full of joy, and after a little hesitation, seeing that Fu Siyuan's expression was not abnormal, Fu Shaoqun and Yun Shi were even quite excited, so they seriously considered whether to divide their troops and march westward to meet Chen Hai.
"It's still unclear what Chen Hai is doing here, and it may not be ......appropriate to divide the troops in a hurry," Wu Zhidong said with a deep groan, directly rejecting Qin Qian's suggestion.
"......" Qin Qian patted his head in embarrassment, he didn't understand the situation, he was about to divide his troops to tear through the blockade of the large group of Winged Demon Elites in the west of Chilongling to find Chen Hai to rendezvous, naturally it was not a suggestion that a qualified general could put forward, but he was too excited just now, so he said this casually, and immediately asked for his life, "The Winged Demon Elite is very tightly blocked, and there are still two Demon Lords in Chilong Ridge, ordinary scouts can't penetrate it, I'll go and meet Chen Hai!"
"Shaoqun, you go with Qin Qian to find Beiling Marquis Chen Hai......" Fu Siyuan said.
Qin Hushan knew the reason why Fu Siyuan had to go to see Chen Hai with Fu Shaoqun, at this time, the identities of Chen Hai and the Jiang clan were already clear, if the Liuyang Palace vein couldn't temporarily let go of the blood feud of 10,000 years ago before the monstrous demon tribulation, Fu Siyuan and Yun Shi could only leave Chiying Peak before Chen Hai, so as not to be embarrassed to see each other.
Qin Hushan nodded, and said to Fu Shaoqun again: "You two go to see Chen Hai, just tell him about the situation here, and tell him, except for the Beiling Army who dare to fight to the death for the human race, my three sects are not without disciples who sacrificed for righteousness - in addition, I will divide my troops to make a westward trend and contain part of the Winged Demon Elite in the Red Dragon Ridge in the west!"
Qin Qian nodded resolutely, knowing the intention of his grandfather's words, that is, to ask Chen Hai to put the overall situation first when considering things, if it is beneficial to the overall situation, there is nothing wrong with the remaining 500,000 elites of the Qin Wang Army dying in Red Shadow Peak......
