Chapter 903: The debt will be repaid
In the early spring of the 32nd year of Jianxing, the ice and snow gradually melted, but the Mozhang Ridge was still cold and icy, and the eaves were hung with sharp ice edges like thorns, and the sun shone through them, and they were covered with dazzling colors.
The melting snow on the eaves fell down the ice edge, dripping on the ground, and soon melted into the soil, just like the scouts of Beiling Town at this time, quietly hiding in the depths of the wasteland hills, mountains and forests, staring at the demons' every move.
Compared with more than ten days ago, the weather has warmed up a lot, not to mention those Xuanxiu powerhouses who are not invaded by cold and heat, for ordinary disciples, it is rare to cook tea and wine at this time, but the generals of Yantai Pass have no way to enjoy such a freehand day.
Through a variety of ways to infiltrate the depths of the Demon Domain to monitor the Demon Clan, Yantai Pass has always watched every move of the Demon Clan near Tiancheng Mountain.
This winter, the cold of the northern demon domain came particularly fiercely, which slowed down the gathering speed of the demon soldiers near Tiancheng Mountain, and from Tiancheng Mountain to the south to Tianluo Valley, there was ice and snow everywhere, which was not conducive to the rapid passage of a large group of demon soldiers.
This also won a rare two or three months of respite for Beiling City, but the demon soldiers in the direction of Tiancheng Mountain were still dispatched, and in the thirty-second year of Jianxing, the demon soldiers and demon generals surged south like a black tide.
And the scouts who infiltrated further north of Tiancheng Mountain also saw that in the deeper depths of the Northern Demon Domain, some large and small demon forces on the periphery of the Immortal Evil Domain were also constantly gathering south......
Everyone knew very well in their hearts that after the Xuanyin Valley Demon Clan tore apart the defense line of Gulan Mountain and forced Yongjing, the Demon Clan in Xuanyin Valley, the north of the Immortal Evil Domain, and the deeper part of the Northern Demon Domain were all stimulated to the boiling of demon blood.
At this time, there were already a hundred or hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers moving south from Tiancheng Mountain, and everyone knew that a tragic bloody battle would soon break out in Demon Deer Mountain.
At this time, with a little more strength, the hope of surviving in the future may be greater, and the generals will be under the supervision of the camp officials, and they will not care about the cold of spring, according to the new defense plan, dig deep and wide trenches in the hard ice outside the city that has not yet melted.
Ordinary generals sweated like rain, Jiang Jin and Yuan Zhou were not easy, they were in the main hall of the General's Mansion, listening to the situation of the generals gathering from all over the country, the sorrow on their foreheads became deeper and deeper.
Jiang Jin sighed and said: "More than half a year has passed, and the front soldiers and horses of King Lie have only arrived on the north bank of the Wantao River, and the demon clan has already captured the defense line of Dayan Mountain, and a large number of demon soldiers have poured in, and the two counties of Zhending and Cangzhou have been completely destroyed, and I don't know if Yongjing has a chance to hold it?"
Dayan Mountain is the boundary mountain between the Northeast Region and the Great Plain of Zhongzhou, stretching obliquely from southeast to northwest, about 120,000 li long, extending into the general mansion of the Eastern Tingzhu State in the southeast, and extending to the general palace of the Northern Tingzhu State in the northwest.
The Wantao River, the most magnificent water system in the northern part of the Great Chong Empire, originates at the northwest foot of Dayan Mountain, but winds all the way to the west and flows into the Sea of Falling Stars.
Zhending and Cangzhou are two counties that cross the Dayan Mountains and are located on the edge of the Great Plain of Zhongzhou.
The destruction of these two counties means that the Demon Tribulation has officially spread to the central region of the core of the Great Chong Empire.
And King Lie led his troops to rush from the northwest to the southeast, and they had traveled nearly 100,000 miles in more than half a year, and the speed could be said to be extremely fast, but they were still more than 70,000 miles away from Yongjing at this time, and the main force of the demon clan was less than 30,000 miles away from Yongjing.
Of course, Yongjing, as the imperial capital of the Great Chong Empire, is surrounded by Fengyong Mountain, and Fengyong Mountain, as the ancestral court of the Xuanyuan Upper Hall of the First Sect of Great Chong, was operated on a large scale as early as the Liuyang Empire, and the foundation accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years, only the mountain protection array is two levels higher than the mountain protection array of Wanxian Mountain, plus the two million elites who stayed in Yongjing and the thousands and tens of thousands of high-end generals led by millions of true monarchs. Xuan Xiu, coupled with the fact that Fengyong Mountain has a stable passage to the small thousand heavens where the human race inhabits and reproduces, and the four or five million elite demon soldiers commanded by hundreds of demon lords are undoubtedly unrealistic to capture Yongjing in a short period of time.
But the problem is that the demon clan avoided the real and did not attack Yongjing, which was like a turtle shell, but slaughtered the county capital on the periphery of Yongjing first, how should the Taishang Tianzun and the Lie King deal with it?
In terms of the speed of the trip, King Lie could not meet the elite defenders of Yongjing before the demon snow washed the outer county capital of Yongjing, and in order to avoid a field battle with the main force of the demon clan on the great plain outside Yongjing, he didn't even dare to approach Yongjing.
Jiang Jin guessed that King Lie was likely to lead his troops eastward against the Wantao River, find a suitable place to station, restrict the direction of the demon clan's activities, and then after gathering enough reinforcements, he would enter the Zhongzhou Great Plain and fight with the main force of the demon soldiers.
Of course, Jiang Jin was more worried that the soldiers and horses of the other Zhulu Qin Kings were not moving, but Jiang Yin did not know how to sympathize with the disciples of the three sects, and blindly sought to fight, in that case, he would finally drive the demon clan out, but the three sects were worried about decline.
Yuan Zhou said calmly: "We can't take into account the situation in Yongjing, so it's better to think about how to solve the matter in front of us." Once the Demon Clan gathers enough troops and horses in Tianluo Valley to use troops against the Demon Deer Ridge, we may not be able to expect Beiling City to play much of a role! I don't know what Chen Hai's idea is, and he actually reduced the garrison of Beiling City to 200,000. β
Regarding Chen Hai's downsizing of troops and horses in Beiling City, Jiang Jin snorted coldly: "After he took the initiative to break off last time, he got enough rewards, and this time he naturally won't 'treat death as home'." He reduced the soldiers and horses in Beiling City to 200,000, just to facilitate the retreat before the demon soldiers came. β
Jiang Jin originally hoped that when the demons attacked, Beiling Town would be able to consume more demon soldiers and demon generals in front.
He didn't think that Chen Haizhen would be able to continue to create miracles, but with the combat power of Beiling Town's outbreak in Xinyan City, even if Beiling City was not defended in the end, it could consume four or five hundred thousand elite demon soldiers, and it could also greatly reduce the pressure on the defense line of the three towns of Demon Zhangling.
It's just that in the past two or three months, Chen Hai has reduced the garrison soldiers and horses of Beiling City to 200,000 on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has moved the surplus soldiers and horses and the exiled prisoners near Beiling City to the vicinity of Dongdu Mountain for resettlement, with the intention of completely snatching Dongdu Mountain from the hands of the Jiang clan in Dongdu, and even transporting some of the bulky equipment that was left in Beiling City when the Beizhen Craftsmen and Craftsmen Department retreated south at the beginning of the early days to be transported to Tianying City with a newly built wind flame airship, as well as the additional supplies that Chen Hai had reserved in Beiling City, which would only be consumed for a month, Jiang Jin naturally decided that his previous expectations would not be fulfilled this timeγ
Chen Hai reduced the garrison of Beiling Town to 200,000, and it was entirely possible to quickly retreat south when the demons were surging.
Of course, Jiang Jin had no reason to ask Chen Hai to stay outside the Demon Deer Ridge, but he also made up his mind that if Chen Hai really led his troops to withdraw, then he and Yuan Zhou should exercise the authority of the general of Beizhen left and right, and ordered Chen Hai to guard the Yunmen Fortress a hundred miles northwest of Yantai Pass, so that the soldiers of Beiling Town could bear the pressure of the demon clan as much as possible......
****************
While Jiang Jin and Yuan Zhou were guessing Chen Hai's movements at Yantai Pass, the Heavenly Xuanlei Ship was haunted by a trace of thunder, breaking through the low-hanging clouds and appearing in the sky above Beiling City.
Chen Hai, Sha Tianhe, Zhu Tianhe and others stood on the school field where the Xuantian Thunder Ship landed, waiting for the Xuantian Thunder Ship to land.
The Xuanlei Ship has been in Chen Hai's hands for more than ten years, although the internal formation is forbidden, and Chen Hai cannot be transformed in a short period of time, but in terms of appearance, it has completely changed from the traditional shape of the treasure ship spirit boat to a flat aerodynamic layout with a narrow length of 120 meters and a hull width of only more than 20 meters.
If it weren't for the fact that the Heaven Destroying Thunder Ship needed to enter the battlefield of fierce fighting, Chen Hai would even want to put on the wings.
However, just by this kind of transformation, the speed of the Heaven Destroying Thunder Ship has increased by fifty percent compared to the past, but in Zhu Tian and their opinion, the Heaven Destroying Thunder Ship is really too nondescript compared to the traditional floating combat boat.
The first to step out of the Ten Thousand Mysteries Thunder Battleship was an old man in a green robe, but it was the appearance of Cang Yu's changing body in Yanzhou, and then, Miao Fengshan, Xie Jueyuan, Huang Qiwei, Le Yi, Guo Hongjuan and others went down in turn, and Zhu Tianhe was puzzled.
Zhu Tianhe has cultivated the Dao Fetus for a hundred years, not to mention stepping into the peak of the Dao Fetal Realm, in Jiang Yin's side for all these years, and traveling all over the world for these years, his eyesight is naturally not weak, Le Yi, Guo Hongjuan, Miao Fengshan, Xie Jueyuan, Huang Qiwei are not lacking, the three sects will not lack Dao Fetus, Dao Dan Realm elite generals, and the lack is only the lack of Beiling Town, but the Cang Relic Qi Machine is integrated with heaven and earth, and it is obviously a character who has touched the origin of the Great Dao and can impact the Heavenly Realm at any time.
Chen Hai smiled and introduced to Zhu Tianhe: "These senior brothers are the elders of the secret sect of the Nine Counties Kingdom Shuyu Palace, I have an old relationship with the master of the Shuyu Palace, and I specially asked them to come over to help me. β
Zhu Tianhe was suspicious, but the monopoly of the sea trade with the Nine Counties from Tianying City, the purchase of a large number of prisoners of war cheaply from the Nine Counties before, and the fact that the Nine Counties had sent a considerable number of high-end combat forces to make up for the serious shortage of the Heavenly Camp were enough to show that the friendship between Chen Hai and Zhou Wanqing was extraordinary.
Le Yi instructed the men and horses to move boxes of military supplies transported back from Fuhaisang from the Xuanlei ship and handed them over to Cangcheng Shen Fu for inventory and storage.
Seeing that the Liujia Secret Shield, Thousand Sword Talismans, Lightning Strike Talismans and other defensive Dao talismans from low to high were filled with more than 100 boxes, totaling 120,000 pieces, and seeing that there were more than 2,000 spirit pills including the Cutting Pulse Pill, there were tens of thousands of bottles, in addition to 2,000 pieces of Spirit Armor and Xuan Soldiers above the Xuan Rank plus six Coiling Dragon Iron Wall Arrays, Zhu Tianhe looked at Chen Hai suspiciously, and asked, "This is also borrowed from the Zhou Palace Lord?"
"Yes, but it is also a promise of a lot of additional conditions, and it will be repaid after this period of time......" Chen Hai said vaguely, and for the time being, he did not say in what form he would repay the huge debt he nominally owed to the Jade Palace this time.
