In the spring of the first year of the war era, Xie Yun, one of the three marshals of the Stygian Water, quickly divided 250,000 troops to the eastern gateway Dingwan and Gaotao, leaving only 50,000 troops to defend Yangcheng, and at the same time, 200,000 troops from the Northeast Battalion were mobilized in China and then reinforced, intending to quickly seize the capital of Amaterasu.

From the noon of the sixth day of the first month of the first year to the morning of the ninth day of the first month, Xie Yun's army fought and even shortcut to the periphery of Amaterasu, and it was impossible to break the city in a few days. However, Xie Yun's innate instinct as a commander made Xie Yun uneasy, and the other five countries were too quiet!

So Xie Yun made a decision that everyone did not understand, he immediately ordered the whole army to retreat to Yangcheng, and it was a double speed march. In the face of low-hanging fruit, even with Xie Yun's prestige, it was difficult to convince the generals, and the withdrawal encountered obstacles.

At the same time, there were also rumors that Xie Yun was selfish because the Wuchen Emperor was kind to him back then, and Ye Qing, the commander of the Northeast Battalion who was reinforced, had a big quarrel with Xie Yun and insisted on advancing eastward, which seriously delayed Xie Yun's withdrawal.

Xie Yun was anxious and angry, and killed several disobedient military orders, and the withdrawal was carried out, but it was a step too late after all.

At the twilight of the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Tianqi Mountain Range, which was originally regarded as a natural barrier by the Stygian Water, suddenly collapsed, and Chiyan, Yuezhao, Yuelin, and Yuexi took the opportunity to jointly besiege the Stygian Water, and the 1.5 million allied troops passed through the Tianqi Mountain Range and went straight to Hengshui City, the only defense line south of Yangcheng.

At this time, there were only 20,000 defenders in Hengshui, and what was worse was that the Snow Shadow Kingdom also raised the whole country to kill from the north, and at that time, only the Lingxu Legion was left in the entire northern territory to fight independently, and the other two of the three most powerful legions of the Stygian Water Empire were still outside the country.

The Snow Shadow Country, which came from the bitter cold land of the extreme north, had always been despised by the Dark Water, but it broke out with extremely terrifying combat power, coupled with the superiority in troops, the entire army of the Lingxu Legion was wiped out in less than two days! The entire northern territory quickly fell, and this battle shocked the world.

Three days later, Ye Qing's corps, which hurried back, encountered the main force of the Snow Shadow army in Bingxie City, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack as a northern fortress, and the two sides formed a stalemate for several days.

Just when everyone thought that the situation had eased, the enemy left 100,000 troops to make a feint in the front, but quietly led 400,000 troops from Amaterasu Province to the rear of the castle by surprise, completely cutting off the logistics supply, and the castle became a completely isolated city.

The soldiers of the Snow Shadow Kingdom did not stop, and on the fifteenth day of the first month, after trapping Ye Qing's corps, they divided 200,000 troops again to take Jinghua City, the capital of the Stygian Water!

In addition to the 30,000 forbidden troops in Jinghua City, there is no decent combat power. At this moment, the arrogant and proud Stygian Empire finally realized that this was a battle to destroy the country against itself, the edifice was about to fall, and the boundless cloud of terror hung over everyone's hearts.

On the evening of the 10th day of the first lunar month, the million-strong coalition army of the four southern countries cleared the way from the collapsed ruins and reached the foot of Hengshui City, while Xie Yun's army did not arrive in Yangcheng until noon on the 11th.

To his surprise, not only was Yangcheng not breached, but even Hengshui Town was still struggling to hold on. Xie Yun was shocked in his heart: Did he really do it?

On the evening of the 11th, Xie Yun met Chu Feiyan in the dilapidated Hengshui City.

"Fortunately, I was not dishonored. ”

With a hoarse voice that was extremely weak, Chu Feiyan struggled to squeeze out a smile and then fell over, and a black figure appeared in front of him without warning, gently holding him on his back.

The sound of heavy breathing came from his back, Xie Yun's heavy eyes couldn't help but be moved, the young man's bloody clothes were soaked, his long hair was scattered, the corners of his lips trembled when he breathed and breathed, his face was pale and terrible, and he was obviously enduring great pain.

However, what shocked Xie Yun the most was that even in a coma, the cold Soul Burial Knife was firmly held in his hand, and when Xie Yun wanted to take a step closer, the blade immediately exuded a terrifying murderous aura.

Looking at Chu Feiyan again, the corners of his eyes moved slightly, and his face was hideous, as if he was about to wake up.

"How could there be such a heavy killing intent!" Xie Yun was shocked, he had no doubt that if he went any further, Chu Feiyan would fight for his life in an unconscious state.

His village, including his adoptive parents, was killed in the earth-shattering collapse. ”

The black figure spoke in a low voice.

Xie Yun was stunned, remembering that he was still handsome when he first saw Yangcheng Tower, and in just a few days, the young man with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth had disappeared, replaced by a monstrous anger and deep sadness.

The smile faded, the mountains and rivers shattered, and it was like a world away in just a few days. Xie Yun muttered, "If I had believed what he said that day..."

As soon as he thought of this, indescribable remorse gnawed at Xie Yun's originally rock-solid heart, Xie Yun covered his chest hard, and swallowed back the blood that gushed up his throat with a muffled snort.

The wide purple robe swayed slightly, as if he didn't know how to comfort his master, and at this moment the marshal of the empire seemed to be several years old.

"Xie Shuai, don't blame yourself!" The black figure said in a deep voice: "This kind of natural disaster is not something that can be predicted by manpower, nor can it be stopped by manpower, not to mention that if it weren't for Xie Shuai handing over the talisman to his subordinates and secretly cooperating with Chu Feiyan to act, Yangcheng would have fallen long ago." ”

Xie Yun waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "I heard you talk about Guangling City that day, I just had a good impression of this young man, or maybe I was so cautious, so I ordered you to follow secretly." When I said that if things changed, I could help him keep Hengshui, I'm afraid even I didn't believe it. ”

The black figure was silent: Yes, who would have thought that with a mere 30,000 troops, he would block the onslaught of a million coalition troops for two days and nights?

"Xiao Qian, you tell me what happened at the end. ”

"Yes, Xie Shuai!" Xiao Qian's eyes suddenly lit up. In the past few days, everything Chu Feiyan has done is an earth-shattering move.

Evacuate the refugees in advance, capture the second prince of Chiyan on the abandoned mountain, kill Wei Wuji, the deputy head of the Red Wolf Regiment of the Chiyan Country, and set up suspicious soldiers in Xiaguan Road to lure the army to the Valley of Loyal Souls.

Loyal Soul Valley fought a battle, killed Wei Wushuang, the leader of the Red Wolf Regiment, and fought against Jing Beifeng, the commander of the coalition army, and finally shook down the boulders of the Heavenly Abandoned Mountain that had not collapsed on both sides of the Loyal Soul Valley, causing an avalanche and burying 100,000 coalition pioneers to death forever.

Listening to Xiao Qian's words, Xie Yun's heart was surging, and his eyes suddenly brightened, as if he had seen the rise of an emperor star in the near future, just like the burly figure he looked up to when he was a child, unstoppable!

Suddenly, Xie Yun's mind moved, recalling that day when the city tower talked, the master in Chu Feiyan's mouth was... Xie Yun quickly paced two steps on the spot, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it was until he suddenly became enlightened.

If it weren't for him, who could have taught such an amazing and brilliant disciple, the Stygian Water might have been saved. At this moment, looking at Chu Feiyan again, he is like his own nephew.

"Xiao Qian, listen to the order!" Xie Yun shouted violently, and at this moment, the domineering and majestic imperial marshal came again.

"From now on, all members of the Dark Night will be under Chu Feiyan's orders!"

"Yes!" Xiao Qian hesitated for a moment and readily agreed.

"Appoint Chu Feiyan as the general of Pingnan and command 70,000 soldiers and horses in Yangcheng!"

"Shenghengshui Captain Wang Ye is the vanguard general, co-leading the 30,000 garrisons of Hengshui, and obeying the orders of the general of Pingnan!"

"The fate of the general is difficult to defend Yangcheng for three months!"

"Xie Shuai, aren't you guarding Yangcheng Town?" Xiao Qianyan was shocked when he heard this.

"I just received an emergency military situation before I came, the Lingxu Legion has been wiped out, Ye Shuai estimates that it won't last long, I must lead the main force to reinforcements, otherwise Jinghua City will be broken, and the dark water will really be over." ”

Xiao Qian was terrified, no wonder Xie Yun would lose his temper, but could he really defend Yangcheng with only 100,000 troops?

"I had to believe in him. Xie Yun looked at Chu Feiyan, who was already asleep, and said to himself, "I hope that the sky will not die." ”

"When he wakes up, tell me a word. ”

"Yes!"

"I guard the north, you guard the south, the man Mo Qingnuo, do what he says!"

If the world knew that Xie Yun was actually talking to the fledgling Chu Feiyan at this moment, I am afraid that he would be shocked.

After saying that, Xie Yun laughed and left, at this moment he was full of pride.

"When we said goodbye, I invited him to drink. ”

But at this time, Xie Yun didn't know that when the two met again, it was already a great change, and things were wrong.

On the twelfth, after Chu Feiyan received Xie Yun's supplementary 70,000 troops, he used Xuan Yan as bait to lure the coalition army to advance, and then broke the coalition army again with Wang Yehui in Xiaguan Road.

The rescued Xuan Yan also collapsed, suffered a lot of white eyes and ridicule, and was demoted to a common person after returning to China, and died of depression soon after.

On the 15th, Xie Yun's mysterious troops attacked in the dark, killing more than 30 generals of the Southern Coalition Army overnight, paralyzing the command system of most of the coalition forces.

At the same time, Ye Qing's corps, which supported the northern front, risked his life to break through in order to return to the imperial capital Jinghua City, and unfortunately died in battle.

On the 16th, Xie Yun's main force descended from the sky, broke the Snow Shadow Army of 150,000 on the meridian slope, and regained the lost territory all the way to the north. This is the first time since the Battle of the Destruction of the Kingdom that Stygian Water has repelled the Snow Shadow army on a frontal battlefield, and its morale has been greatly boosted.

On the 20th, Hengshui City was broken, and at the same time, the Huoyun Cavalry, which belonged to the coalition army of Zhongyue Xiguo, was annihilated.

On the 22nd, Wallen Heights fell, and at the same time, the heavy cavalry of the Yuelin Kingdom was completely annihilated.

On the 25th, the coalition troops approached the city, but Yuezhaoguo refused to take the lead in attacking the city, and cracks faintly appeared in the coalition alliance.

On the 28th, Chu Feiyan raided the camp of the coalition army in Zhenbei and burned half of the grain and grass of the coalition army.

On February 6, Jing Beifeng, the commander of the coalition forces, personally supervised the siege. The battle was extremely fierce, with rivers of blood, stumps and broken arms could be seen almost everywhere, and the monstrous bloody gas persisted for months.

Yangcheng was almost breached, and the towers and bunkers changed hands several times, and finally 60,000 soldiers and civilians in Yangcheng were killed in battle, while 300,000 coalition troops died under the city. Jing Beifeng swallowed the bitter fruit of defeat again, and the coalition began to be suspicious of each other.

The fighting in the north was also very fierce, and after holding each other for more than a month, Xie Yun was unable to continue to go north because of the disadvantage of his troops, so he had to retreat to Canaan Pass to hold the defensive line.

For nearly three months, from the ninth day of the first month to the fifth day of April from the beginning of the "War of Annihilation" in the first year of the War Era, the Stygian Empire slowly struggled back from the brink of destruction.

The reason for this is that a young man named Chu Feiyan was born out of thin air, and joined forces with Xie Yun, the city lord of Yangcheng, to block the encirclement of millions of coalition forces, and caused a huge disagreement in the coalition alliance.

On April 5, the three eastern Yueguo changed their strategy, gave up the siege of Yangcheng, withdrew most of their forces from the coalition army and moved east to fight in Amaterasu, and the threat to Yangcheng was only Jingbei Feng's 450,000 troops.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or something else, the fierce Snow Shadow also gave up going south and confronted Xie Yun.

In this way, the form of the Stygian Water, while still precarious, has gained a precious respite. Chu Feiyan alone led 100,000 troops to resist the onslaught of a million-strong army, and even made the other party unable to advance an inch for several months, such a feat was praised by the whole world!

Chu Feiyan was regarded as the "chosen son" for a while, a peerless talent who could turn the tide and fall immediately!

But what everyone didn't expect was that in the winter of the first year of the War Era, Chu Feiyan quietly led 20,000 Hengshui elite soldiers to surrender to his old enemy Chiyan! Soon after, he was beheaded in the Flame Palace due to his failure to seize power with Jing Beifeng.

Xuantian, the Great Emperor of the Dark Water, was ill after receiving the news, and Xie Yun also sighed. Chu Feiyan's rise is like a flash in the pan, which is suffocating.
