Chapter 481: Mentor
On the eighth day of the capture of Qinhaidu City, the 60,000 soldiers of the Black Yan Army also rushed over to converge one after another. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this time, in addition to Tuoba Banner leading 80,000 remnants of the army, surrounded by a large number of cattle and slaves, and heading to the mouth of the Tong River, the reinforcements from Baishui City of the Tuoba Department also turned north and rushed to the mouth of the Tong River.
The current situation is very clear, and the two armies of the Tuoba Department must find a place in the lower reaches of the Tong River, establish contact, and survive their most difficult moment. At this time, there was an iron cliff army arrived at the back of the Tuoba Banner, Qinhaidu was no longer a must-attack or must-defend place, Yan Yuan left 20,000 elite armor soldiers, and continued to strengthen the city outside Qinhaidu, he personally led 20,000 war cavalry and 40,000 armor soldiers, crossed the Tong River, and rushed to meet Chen Hai, accompanied by eighteen Tianji crossbows and a large number of baggage.
Three days later, at a stone ridge called Gaoguling, 300 miles east of Yaoshan, the two armies successfully met.
The Gaohu Mountains stretch for more than ten miles, and in the vast Hanhai grassland, it can only be regarded as a small hill, and there was originally a small tribe of six or seven thousand people and five or six hundred soldiers.
This small tribe called Gaohu was the first to attach itself to the Black Stone Khanate, Tuoba Yan and Zuo Eagle led their troops westward, and they could still close their villages and defend themselves, but when Tuoba Banner and Zuo Yang led the army to cross the Tong River, they directly attached to the Tuoba Tribe, sent troops and livestock, and participated in the battle into Yaoshan, but they did not expect the Iron Cliff Department to be so tenacious and almost miraculously repelled the Tuoba Army's hundreds of thousands of troops.
When Tuoba Banner led his troops to pass through the Gaohu Ridge, the whole clan of the Gaohu tribe avoided from afar, until Tie Kun and Chen Hai came over with a large army, and they all ran out to greet them, saying that in the future, only the Iron Cliff tribe would look forward to the horses, and there would be no two hearts.
In addition to incorporating the few remaining brute forces of the Gaohu tribe into the army, Chen Hai asked Tiekun to move the other Gaohu tribesmen to the northeastern foot of Yaoshan Mountain to help build a city there—and the stone village left by the Gaohu tribe in Gaohu Ridge was used as a defensive base for the Iron Cliff Army to blockade the Tuoba Army's soldiers and horses.
Tie Kun led the main force, staring at the back of the Tuoba Banner, while Chen Hai stayed in Gaohu Ridge, waiting for Yan Yuan to lead his troops to come over and converge.
Chen Hai had met Yan Yuan at the earliest time in Ganquan Mountain, but the contact was not deep at that time, after the defeat of the Black Yan Army in Ganquan Mountain, Yan Yuan led his troops to withdraw into Songdu Mountain in Yanmen County, and Chen Hai incorporated Huang Shuang and Le Yi's troops to form the Longxiang battalion - after he arrived in Yaoshan, he thought of using Yan Yuan's troops to control the barbarians, so he and Ning Chan'er went to Chimei Lake to meet Yan Yuan, hoping to say that Yan Yuan would lead his troops to participate in the battle situation on the Hanhai Grassland.
Yan Yuan was hesitant at that time, as a Yanzhou human race, rashly going north and entering the Hanhai Grassland would make it difficult for many barbarians to sleep and eat, and it would inevitably become a thorn in the eyes of the barbarians.
It's just that Yan Yuan never thought that Chen Hai would be able to conjure 60,000 elites out of Yaoshan empty-handed.
After Ning Chan'er personally rushed over to report that the 1,800 elite military attachés of the Longxiang Battalion had entered Yaoshan Mountain, Yan Yuan would naturally not have any hesitation at that time.
At this time, the two met in Gaoguling, and both of them were full of emotion in their hearts, standing in front of the stone cliff and shaking hands, they wanted to say anything, but they couldn't say anything.
At this time, I saw the real body of Granny Crane's feather crane, breaking through the clouds, and when she landed, her body trembled, and she turned into a white-haired old woman standing in front of Yan Yuan, and said, "Xiao Yuanzi, you finally have some courage to dare to lead your troops to help in the battle." ”
"......" Yan Yuan was a little ashamed, and saluted Granny Crane and said, "I've seen Crane Zhenren, I hope Yan Yuan is not too late." ”
Granny Crane will not come specifically to ridicule Yan Yuan, thinking back to the scene of the Dao Zen Academy a hundred years ago, and then thinking that the Dao Zen Academy was destroyed by the backlash of the lords, they have been these remnants for decades, and they have come back from the dead with the Red Eyebrow Sect and the Black Yan Army, who would have thought that the end would still be empty, seeing that Yan Yuan had to be white at this time, and the rest of Granny Crane was also endlessly embarrassed.
"Senior Brother Yan, do you know why there is an ancient underground palace of the Dao Zen Academy under Yao Mountain?" Chen Hai asked while holding Yan Yuan's arm.
"Why?" Yan Yuan asked.
Don't talk about Yan Yuan, even Granny Crane and Le Yi are all puzzled: the Taoist Zen Temple is full of food and support, and in ancient times, it took so much effort and resources to build a huge underground palace under the underground of Yaoshan Mountain, which could not be beaten with eight poles.
In fact, Yan Yuan was also suspicious of Chen Hai's so-called hidden lineage heirs.
After all, about the Yaoshan Underground Palace, about the Blood Demon Tribulation, only the Great Heavenly Masters of the past dynasties knew the truth.
"Senior Brother Yan, you come with me to see Senior Brother Cangyi!" Chen Hai said, the Long Xiang Army has gradually become a force, and there are some things that should be known to more people, and he has no better reason to persuade Yan Yuan to lead the old department of the Black Yan Army to cooperate with him unreservedly to complete the next layout.
Chen Hai asked Yan Yuan and Granny Crane to fly with him to the main peak of Gaohu Ridge, and stood on a stone cliff with his hands in his hands, watching the changes of the white clouds and dogs.
**************************
"......" Yan Yuan and Granny Crane sat on the stone cliff, and a wisp of divine soul was brought into the blood-cloud wasteland by Chen Hai, and the great consumption of spiritual power was on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also shocked by the inside story hidden by the Taoist Zen Temple for tens of thousands of years and the cruel truth they were about to face.
"At present, everyone knows that the Black Yan Army and the Yanzhou Sect Lords are a deep enmity in the sea of blood, so the Black Yan Army has a foothold between Yucheng Ridge and Yaoshan Mountain, and forms an alliance with the Iron Cliff Tribe, and the tolerance of the barbarians will be higher - if the Longxiang battalion directly intervenes in the war in Hanhai, it will inevitably cause a strong backlash," At this time, Chen Hai no longer hid from Yan Yuan, and said bluntly, "The old department of the Black Yan Army should also take advantage of the fact that the soldiers and horses of the Tuoba tribes are attracted to the mouth of the Tong River at this time. When there was no time to look south, he immediately moved across the Tong River and settled down in Shouyang Mountain in the southwest direction of Qinhaidu. Shouyang Mountain is only three thousand miles away from Yucheng Ridge, in that case, the Long Xiang camp can provide some necessary material assistance, after all, three thousand miles away, for the Wind Flame Airship, it is only a day or two trip - once the Blood Demon Tribulation breaks out, it will be far more convenient to withdraw from Shouyang Mountain to Yucheng Ridge than Chimei Lake......"
"......" Yan Yuan nodded silently, accepting Chen Hai's arrangement in its entirety.
In addition to participating in the epic feat of resisting the Blood Demon Tribulation, what else could support him to continue to lead the remnants of the Black Yan Army to walk alone?
Speaking of these things, the Black Yan Army temporarily rested in the Gaoguling camp for a few days, and Chen Hai took Yan Yuan and rushed to the forward camp more than a hundred miles away to meet Tie Kun and other generals of the Tie Kun Army.
At this time, the forward of the Tuoba Banner has entered Hailing Plain, and the rear is accelerating towards Hailing Plain.
Hailing Yuan is only more than 600 miles away from the northeast foot of Yaoshan Mountain, and there is no need for the Iron Cliff Army to immediately encircle the elite cavalry for a day's journey, so they temporarily stay in the northeast of Yaoshan Mountain to rest, and wait until the surrounding tribes are almost integrated, raise more grain and grass, and then consider pulling out to Hailing Yuan.
Tie Kun was extremely happy to see that Chen Hai had come with Yan Yuan, especially since Yan Yuan had not brought his followers.
Tie Kun trusted Chen Hai very much, but at this time, in Yaoshan and the east of Yaoshan, the elite of the human race gathered far exceeded the generals of the Iron Cliff Department, and he would inevitably have some sense of crisis in his heart.
Yan Yuan's ability to follow Chen Hai into the forward camp of the Iron Cliff Army so calmly and alone shows that he is still very sincere.
Chen Hai smiled and patted Yan Yuan's broad arm, and didn't say much, sooner or later he would know what his true purpose was.
The lights had already been lit in the big tent of the Chinese army, and after several people sat down in batches, Yan Yuan first told a few people about the movements of Baishui City.
Except for some particularly remote tribes, the entire Hanhai Dongyuan quickly took action, and in just a few days, Tuoba Hao gathered sixty or seventy thousand horses.
Baishui City already had 100,000 troops at this time, and after leaving 10,000 of the necessary defensive forces, this morning, 90,000 people were divided into three groups and marched out violently, accompanied by 50,000 slaves and hundreds of thousands of cattle, plus 20,000 reinforcements who had advanced to the mouth of the Tong River before, in addition to the 80,000 soldiers on the Hailing Yuan side on the east bank of the Tong River, the Tuoba Department on the west bank, there will be at least 110,000 barbarian soldiers.
Hearing that Baishui City had mobilized so many troops, everyone in the tent took a breath of cold air.
Le Yi frowned and said: "The Tuoba Department has suffered repeated setbacks, and it is difficult to successfully take over this soldier and horse from Hailing Yuan on the east coast, why are other tribes so happy to send troops and strength?"
Chen Hai leaned back on the chair, kept knocking on the table with his fingers, as if calculating something, Shaoqing said: "These tribes have been tied to the chariot by the Tuoba Tribe, where will it be so easy to think about it? Although it seems that the Tuoba Department is already at the end of the crossbow, there is still no big problem in turning over and cleaning up these small tribes. ”
Tie Kun said: "It seems that Tuoba Hao is going to make up his mind this time, and the net will be broken with us." ”
Tie Du stood up and said: "The Tuoba Department is still not to be underestimated, however, we have successfully defended the Demon Ape City, as for whether we can eat the 80,000 people of the Tuoba Banner, it is nothing more than an icing on the cake, but it is not too important - although there is no news from the Black Rock City, it must not be the ...... to see us gain a foothold in Yaoshan."
Seeing that some of the people present also showed thoughtful looks, Chen Hai had a slight headache, knowing that Tie Du and many barbarian generals had the intention of accepting it when they saw it.
However, his plan is far more than just a corner of the Hanhai, how can he give up halfway? Chen Hai said indifferently:
"If the Iron Cliff Department wants to gain a foothold in Yaoshan, it must completely kill the enemy - and if the Iron Cliff Department can completely annihilate or force down the 80,000 elites of the Tuoba Department on the east bank this time, why bother thinking about what Black Rock City is thinking?"
"Yes, if any elite combat force wants to become the elite of a hundred battles, it must go through the washing of iron and fire!" Tie Kun said firmly, he had followed Chen Hai, and knew that the Longxiang army could be called a miraculous rise, and the most important thing was to rely on Chen Hai's indomitable iron will, the battle in Yaoshan had already reached this point, and it was about to usher in a more brilliant victory, how could he give up halfway?
