The main force of the demon barbarian striker suffered setbacks one after another on the eastern front, and when Wu Jinglin rushed to Guanhe City to ask for advice, he had already retreated to Yandang Lake, four hundred miles south of Guanhe City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tianshui County gave up the land of thousands of miles north of Hengshan, and the dams of the main rivers such as the Tong River, the Tiandang River, and the Guan River have been in disrepair for a long time, and have been completely abandoned, making this thousand-mile plain between Hengshan and Yucheng Ridge become a land of lakes with dense water networks.

Therefore, this thousand-mile plain between Hengshan and Yucheng Ridge is also called Yandang Plain.

Yandang originally has more than 100 lakes of considerable scale, Yandang Lake is the largest one among them, and is the main lake of Yandang Yuan, the lake area is 100 miles wide from north to south, 200 miles long from east to west, it is connected with the water of Tiandang River and Guan River, there is a river channel leading out at the east entrance, and it flows into the Tong River.

In the east of the lake, there is Yandang City, a ruined city abandoned by Tianshui County, and now there is a dilapidated city wall standing in the barren Yandang Plain.

The Yandang Plain, where the lake network is dense, freezes tightly after winter, and no longer becomes an obstacle to the passage of the army.

Even if the main force of more than 50,000 soldiers of the demon barbarian vanguard retreated to Yandang Lake and no longer directly threatened Guanhe City, and for the time being, they did not directly go to the Guhekou Lonely Peak where the Longxiang camp was assembled at this time, but there were still a small group of demon elites, wandering and scouting in the depths of Yandang Plain.

The demon barbarians also have elite cavalry that move quickly, and they also drive demon birds to fight, and the wind and flame airship still has to cover between the peaks at the western foot of Qintong Mountain as much as possible, so the generals who pick up and drop off the soldiers of the Tonghe army rush to the lonely peak at the mouth of the Tong River, and they can only go back and forth once a day.

As the commander of the fellow army, Liao Yunkui boarded the airship with more than 1,000 fellow army generals at noon on the fourth day.

The airship quickly rose to the established altitude and galloped towards Yucheng Ridge, leaving a few trails in the blue sky.

Chen Hai and the others had never seen Liao Yunkui, but in order to show respect, they still set up a simple school yard on the north side of the lonely peak of the estuary to facilitate the more stable landing of the wind and flame airship.

With a crane in the distance, the huge figure of the Wind Flame Airship slowly emerged from the southwest.

"If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that there would be such an artifact in the world. Wu Jinglin exclaimed.

Although he had seen the airship many times, every time he saw the airship take off and land, carrying a huge momentum to the sky, he was very excited, and he was deeply impressed by Chen Hai's amazing talent.

The wind flame airship caused by the principle of hot air balloon has nothing mysterious in Chen Hai's view, and the wind flame heavenly machine compound prohibition involved in the core components is even quite a yellow-level high-grade magic weapon in terms of complexity, but this is really a breakthrough in the imagination of the people in Yanzhou at the time, and it is no wonder that there was always such a fuss at the beginning.

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, but did not say much.

The airship seemed to be slow and fast, and it didn't take long for it to come to the top of everyone's heads, and it slowly descended, and the powerful air current released blew the clothes of the people into the air.

After settling down, a middle-aged man dressed in a dark spirit armor floated down first, and his cultivation in the Dao Dan realm was undisguised, and Chen Hai and several people hurriedly stepped forward and waved their hands to salute: "I've seen Liao Duwei!"

In terms of the military system, Chen Hai, as the commander of the battalion of the Jingying Army, has a higher status than Wu Cheng, but the Jingjun Zonglord, or someone in Yanran Palace, does not want Chen Hai to be too powerful in the place, so that the Longxiang battalion is controlled by the county government, so that Chen Hai's general rank is one level lower than Wu Chengsheng's, but he is still above Liao Yunkui and other deputy capitals of Tianshui County.

Liao Yunkui grabbed Chen Hai's arm and said, "Before the irrigation of the river, there were still demon barbarian soldiers who could not linger. Wu Duwei was worried that the demon barbarians would be cunning and cunning, and the attack on the important town would change hands, so he sent my fellow soldiers to help Chen Hou defeat the demon barbarians!" "At this moment, Liao Yunkui still did not publicize the internal entanglements for the sake of the dignity of the Huayang Sect.

Chen Hai smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, but he should ask Liao Yunkui to accompany them to climb the lonely peak and see the situation of the Tonghekou Dazhai that was being built.

Yucheng Ridge is backed by the Broken Dragon Ridge and goes to the Chopping Horse Ridge, stretching for nearly a thousand miles.

Although it is known as the Ridge of a Thousand Miles, it is mostly a lonely mountain cliff, no more than two or three hundred meters high, it is not a dangerous place, and it is no wonder that Tianshui County would give up the Yucheng Ridge defense line back then.

In the early years, Tianshui County built Tongkou City here, and after it was broken by the demons, there was an intermittent broken city wall.

Tongkou remnant city west of the Tong River, back to the lonely peak, Chen Hai at this time on the basis of the remnant of the city, re-build the wall, fly up to more than 400 high lonely peak, Liao Yunya they only saw the foot of the peak is busy, Long Xiang army and Tianshui disciples are in full swing to strengthen the camp, repair the city.

In particular, the generals of the Longxiang battalion did not feel any worries outside the defense line of Hengshan in the slightest.

At this time, it was already dusk, and the remnant sun sprinkled hundreds of millions of afterglows, setting off the remnants of the city and the lonely peak.

From the moment he decided to send troops, Liao Yunkui had a depressed aura in his chest that could not be dissipated, and at this time, he was close to the forefront of the battle with the demon barbarians, feeling the state of the soldiers before the battle, and the depressed qi had already turned into a pride, and at this time he couldn't help it anymore and howled.

The whistling sound rose higher and higher, spreading farther and farther, and the busy soldiers stopped what they were doing, not knowing why Liao Yunkui and other characters suddenly lost their minds and roared, but in an instant, ordinary generals could realize that Liao Yunkui's continuous roar was unusual, and they saw that the cloudless clear and cold sky just now gushed out of thin air with fish-scale-like flocculent dense clouds, rotating layer upon layer, forming a huge funnel cloud.

The top of the funnel cloud covers the sky for hundreds of miles, but the bottom end is as small as a tiny end, and it falls on the top of the lonely peak.

Between heaven and earth, there is not a trace of wind leaking out.

Many generals were stunned and looked at the strange situation in front of them.

With the whistling sound, Liao Yunkui's momentum was also slowly rising, and the aura emanating from Liao Yunkui's body was even more subtle.

Huang Shuang, Wu Meng, Zhou Jun, Su Yuan and others all looked at Liao Yunkui in disbelief, with a thoughtful expression, and Granny He, who was flying in the distance and personally monitoring the movement of the demon barbarian vanguard army, also looked back in surprise at this time.

And in the distant demon village on the north shore of Yandang Lake, Mueller, who was drinking stuffy wine, was nervous, snorted, the skull cup in his hand shattered in response, and his eyes crossed the big tent, crossed hundreds of miles of snowfields, and looked in the direction of the mouth of the Tong River.

After a stick of incense, the whistling stopped.

"Congratulations to Captain Liao!" Chen Hai, Huang Shuang and the others waved their hands and congratulated.

Liao Yunkui, at this time, only felt that his whole body was extremely light, his Dao heart was more transparent and clear, and his divine sense was slightly within a radius of dozens of miles, and it was more than twice as wide as before.

He has been in the middle realm of Dao Dan for more than 30 years, but the war has been unfavorable for many years outside, and he can't bear to be disturbed; internally, for the sake of the life of the children of the poor family, he has colluded left and right, and his scheming has been exhausted, so his cultivation has been stagnant.

But I didn't expect that at this moment, standing on top of the lonely peak, the depression was gone, and the Dao Thoughts turned Ruyi, and it was difficult to contain it in front of everyone and step into the late stage of the Dao Dan Realm.

Although it is still unreasonable to be close to the Dao Dan and cultivate the Dao Fetus, there is finally hope.

Liao Yunkui smiled and saluted: "I can't help myself, I hope Chen Hou won't think it's strange." ”

The soldiers of Yuchengling below knew that reinforcements were coming, and they couldn't help but raise their arms and cheer.

At this time, a team of about 100 dragon horses galloped from a distance.

These people were covered in blood and tired, but in front of the war horses hung one or several hideous-looking demon heads, but the soldiers on the last few horses did not sit, but tied to the back of the horses with ropes, thinking that they had died in the battle with a small group of demon barbarian scouts!

"Hanjiang, come and meet Captain Liao. Chen Hai shouted, it turned out that Qi Hanjiang led the team out to clean up a small group of demon barbarian scouts or scattered soldiers.

"At the beginning of Hengshan City, the demon barbarians were defeated, and I led a large army to pursue and disperse the demon barbarians. The small group of demons is barbaric, but it can't let them gather calmly. Every day, I would send the generals to personally lead the elite cavalry to attack and kill the stragglers, and in the past few days, I have gained a lot. Chen Hai looked at Liao Yunkui with a puzzled face and explained.

Qi Hanjiang flew over to Gufeng's side, first saluted Liao Yunkui, and then Chen Hai reported the results of this battle.

After the report, Qi Hanjiang said worriedly: "Although there have been gains in the past two days, the small group of demon barbarians encountered is becoming more and more difficult to bite, and it can be seen that the small group of demon barbarians around the mouth of the Tong River at this time is no longer the stragglers who were scattered before, but the main force of the demon barbarian forward, and the elite scouts who took the initiative to send to our side!"

Chen Hai looked at Qi Hanjiang's face full of wind and dust, and he couldn't hide his tiredness, and he also knew that today's sweep was particularly hard, so after a few words of comfort, he let him go to rest first.

*********************

After giving Liao Yunkui a detailed introduction to the situation near the mouth of the Tong River, Chen Hai invited him, Wu Jinglin, Liu Chun and others to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss the war.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, someone had already lit the torch, and the brazier in the tent crackled, driving the biting cold out of the tent.

More than ten people sat around the stove, and Chen Hai said to Granny He, who personally talked to the enemy of the scout:

"Granny Crane, you will tell you about the current situation first. ”

Granny Crane answered, pinched the trick in her hand, and the topographic map of the line from Hengshan to Yucheng Ridge slowly appeared in the middle of the big tent with a light curtain.

"The demon barbarian vanguard was originally divided into two divisions to attack the Hengshan defense line, the eastern front was killed by us to lose their armor, and after fleeing to the west, they joined up with the soldiers who retreated south on the western front, and rested on the west bank of Yandang Lake, but since yesterday it has moved again. A cavalry, moving at an extremely fast speed, had advanced about 150 miles away from the mouth of the Tong River, and was stationed in a ruined village, and the main force was expected to arrive the day after tomorrow. ”

A thick red line is shown on the topographic map, extending to a point more than 150 miles from the lonely peak of the Tong River estuary.

"When the time comes, there will be 50,000 demon barbarian soldiers who appear in our west," Chen Hai silently looked at the enemy situation displayed by Granny He, and said after a while: "The fourth and fifth battalions of the Longxiang battalion, plus Liao Duwei, you have 9,000 people, and there are only more than 20,000 elites available, but I don't hide it from Liao Duwei, although the heavy crossbow is very sharp, but the heavy crossbow ammunition reserve is less than 30,000, and it cannot be used easily, so even if the main force of the demon barbarians in the north can't come, it is still quite difficult for us to resist the 50,000 combat power of its forward." ”

"What should I do?"

Liao Yunkui's face was full of anxiety and helplessness, if Wu Cheng was willing to order 100,000 soldiers and horses, and cooperate with the extraordinary Longxiang army, the chances of victory should be very great.

But now more than 20,000 Terran generals, relying on the remnants of the village with no defense power to speak of, to fight against 50,000 demon barbarian and ferocious soldiers, the strength is a little different.

Chen Hai looked at the undulating flames and told Liao Yunkui and the others about the plan in his heart.

"Tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the fourth battalion to rush here," Chen Hai pointed to the remnants of the village more than one hundred and fifty miles away, where seven or eight thousand demon barbarian soldiers had already been stationed at this time, and said, "The Tong River has almost burst its embankment every year, and the west bank of the slightly lower terrain has long become a land of lakes and swamps, especially thirty or forty miles below this remnant village, which has already become a swamp that devours people and beasts in the past hundred years. Now it is the middle of winter, the land is frozen, and we can't see anything, but if we can temporarily dismantle the Wind Flame Heavenly Machine Composite Prohibition from the chariot and the Wind Flame Airship, and bury it in the ground in advance, then send a team of soldiers and horses to lure these seven or eight thousand demon barbarian main forces out of the remnant village and lead them to this swamp, and then trigger the ban, melt the frozen soil, and fall into the muddy land with the clumsy body shape of the demon barbarian soldiers and riding beasts. We can annihilate this demon barbarian warrior and once again frustrate its sharp spirit, and then even if more than 40,000 demon barbarian soldiers surround the mouth of the Tong River, they must have palpitations and dare not attack indiscriminately. And when the time comes, we will slowly respond to the battle and hold until the beginning of spring next year, which should not be a problem......"

Everyone thought for a while, and then they responded.

"When the time comes, the responsibility of luring soldiers will be borne by my children of Tianshui County. Liao Yunkui asked for battle at this time.

"In the past few days, my Longxiang army has been fighting with the demon barbarians, and I already have a good understanding of them, and I am also very familiar with harassing and luring the enemy. And the mouth of the Tong River is the fundamental place where we defend against the enemy outside the Yucheng Ridge, and there is no room for mistakes, and now the camp here is not completely repaired, and there are Liao Duwei and Brother Jinglin sitting here, so I can rest assured that I can lead the troops to fight. Chen Hai tried his best to persuade Liao Yunkui to dispel his desire to fight.

After discussion, in the end, Liu Chun, on behalf of Liao Yunkui, led a group of Tianshui County soldiers to participate in tomorrow's ambush battle to lure the enemy; when Liao Yunkui, Wu Meng, and Wu Jinglin led the fifth battalion of the Longxiang battalion and the Tianshui County soldiers to stay in the remnants of Tonghekou.

The sky is not yet bright, but the Yuchengling Walled City has long been alive.

The torches were shining all over the city, and the teams of the fourth battalion assembled on the school field in an orderly manner.

Chen Hai sat on the broad back of a red riding beast, and Huang Shuang, Zhou Jun, Qi Hanjiang, Han Jian, Han Wendang, Liu Chun and other generals, stared at the soldiers and horses of the fourth battalion and some Tianshui County soldiers.

Chen Hai took a deep breath and ordered the army to march, and saw groups of soldiers getting on their horses and leaving the city, like an iron stream draped in the night, rolling forward.

At their heads, Granny Crane led a crowd of war birds to pierce the night sky.
