Chapter 988: The Ancient Capital of Prison
Longyuan Prefecture, Kunxutian Small World, Longyuan Cliff.
Qin Tai'a chose a mountain cliff in this small world that could overlook the north, and set up a mountain gate, a mountain gate belonging to the Longyuan army.
At this moment, Ye Xuan and Qin Tai'a were standing side by side on the Longyuan Cliff, their eyes piercing through the clouds, looking at the dark ancient city on the ground in the distance.
The ancient capital of Zhenjiao is adjacent to the Xiling Mountains in the west and the southern end of the Panlong Mountains in the east. Like a dark fortress, it sits at the entrance to the Far West.
This fortress is so large that it is a hundred miles wide including the outer city.
In ancient times, the ancient capital of Zhenjiao was the capital of the Heavenly Demon Ancient Kingdom, and it was also the most prosperous city of the Heavenly Demon Ancient Kingdom.
However, if you go back to the ancient times, the meaning of the ancient capital of Zhenjiao is completely different.
An old man and a young man stood side by side on the cliff, neither of them speaking.
When two people have the same goal and attachment, this silence becomes a tacit understanding.
At this time, an old man with a crane hair and a childish face slowly walked up to Longyuan Cliff and said to himself: "Do you know why this ancient city is called the ancient capital of Zhenjiao?"
Ye Xuan didn't look back, and knew that it was Li Xuanfeng who came.
The old guy is slippery sometimes, he disappeared three months ago, and now he is here.
As for why he disappeared three months ago.
Because at that time, Ye Xuan was beating the Zheng family in Tianyun City, and Li Xuanfeng was born in Tianyun City, and he was the national teacher of the Great Zhou, and he was an old friend of Qin Tai'a, and his position was very delicate, so he disappeared very slipperily.
Ye Xuan even suspected that Lao Qin gave him the news, so he went out to visit the mountains and rivers in advance, and only appeared at this time.
Tianyun City is the sect with the most ancient books on the Kyushu continent, especially about the Heavenly Demon God Dynasty.
Hearing Li Xuanfeng mention the conversation, Mrs. Qin didn't reply, so she smiled and teased: "Daochang Li is going to talk about the ancient again." β
Li Xuanfeng immediately corrected: "I'm not talking about books, it's recorded in real mythological ancient books. β
Ye Xuan turned around and bowed to Li Xuanfeng, and said, "That junior wants to hear it." β
Li Xuanfeng stroked his beard, stretched out his hand and pointed to the dark ancient city under the clouds in the distance, and said, "The ancient capital of Zhenjiao is called the ancient capital because it was once the capital of the Heavenly Demon Ancient Kingdom. But where does the word "town" come from?"
Li Xuanfeng asked this question, and then asked himself: "In the primeval era, the Heavenly Demon God Dynasty ruled Kyushu and enslaved other spirit races. At that time, the most prosperous were Longyuan Prefecture, Donglu Prefecture and Beiyue Prefecture. And the Southern Wilderness State and the Far West are all regarded as wild lands......"
"Especially in the Far West, legend has it that in the primeval era, the people who occupied the Far West were some blood-drinking races with ugly appearances and bloodthirsty beasts. The Heavenly Demon God Dynasty believes that the Far West is Hell, or the land bordering Hell......"
"The original function of the ancient capital of the prison was to block the blood-drinking tribes in the far west, which means to guard the gates of hell. β
"I didn't expect that millions of years later, the ancient capital of the Prison is still there, but the Heavenly Demon Clan has become a race in the 'hell'. β
Ye Xuan couldn't help but smile after hearing this: "This is interesting, the Heavenly Demon who used to stand outside the cage has now become a caged beast." β
Li Xuanfeng retracted his smiling expression and said in a deep voice: "After all, your grandfather and grandson have come to this step of attacking the ancient capital of Zhenjiao, and it is impossible to predict how old the future will be. There is only one sentence to say, after all, the Heavenly Demon Clan once ruled the primeval 100,000 years, with a profound heritage, and Kyushu is unparalleled, and this battle is very difficult. β
"The national teachers have now begun to discuss the art of war with the gods. Qin Tai'a teased.
Li Xuanfeng looked at the ancient capital of Zhenjiao and said slowly: "I look at the heavenly phenomena, the strength of the Heavenly Demon Army in the ancient capital of Zhenjiao is not only 600,000 as mentioned in the intelligence, but at least 800,000. β
Qin Tai'a bowed his head and said: "The latest information from the night owl, the nine divisions of the Heavenly Demon Clan have recruited a million Heavenly Demon Army, and 600,000 are stationed in the ancient capital of Zhenjiao. The SΓ©ance Department, the Heaven Cutting Department, and the 200,000 Heavenly Demon Army, plus the original Heavenly Demon Army in the ancient capital of the Prison. At this time, the total strength of the ancient capital was around 900,000. β
The current strength of the Longyuan army is 800,000.
800,000 vs. 900,000, it seems that the difference in strength is not big, but attacking the city with the same force is tantamount to sending it to death.
Ye Xuan had already been mentally prepared and knew that this battle would not be so easy.
If it is a low-martial world in the era of cold weapons, if you want to attack the city and win, it is possible to suppress it with at least five times more troops.
If there is a large siege machine to help, then three times the force can be suppressed to capture the city.
The Kyushu Continent is not a low-martial world, so there is a more critical factor that needs to be taken into account in the siege, the martial arts powerhouse.
"800,000 against 900,000, there's no need to fight on paper. Li Xuanfeng sighed.
Qin Tai'a has been in charge of the Longyuan Army for three hundred years, and he knows the art of siege warfare.
Ye Xuan only experienced the siege of Wangbei City, and that time the Heavenly Demon Army doubled its strength to the Longyuan Army, and finally failed to break through Wangbei City.
"If you want to break the city, how many times the number of troops will you do?"
Qin Tai'a replied: "If you attack strongly, there will be hope for twice the troops." β
Ye Xuan spread his hands and said, "It seems that you don't have to fight." β
"So you can't attack blindly. β
When the Longyuan Army broke through the Lingdemon City, it happened that the Heavenly Demon Army divided its troops to attack Liuyun City, which eventually led to the emptiness of the defense of Lingdemon City.
Qin Tai'a unsealed the Doushen Immortal Body with anger and broke through the Mausoleum Demon City in one fell swoop.
There were many factors that were difficult to replicate in that breach, and this time it was countless times more difficult to attack the ancient capital of Zhenjiao than to attack the Tomb Demon City.
Li Xuanfeng has a peaceful personality and is very cautious in doing things, and after being silent for a long time, he put forward a point that needs to be cautious: "Old boy, maybe the gap in strength can be smoothed out by strategy, but if one thing is not clear, I am afraid that this town and prison will not be able to enter the ancient capital." β
"What's the matter?" Ye Xuan asked curiously.
"In ancient times, the sword god Xuan Lige once defeated the nine ancient demon ancestors with one enemy and nine on the ancient battlefield of the Xiling Mountains, and with the strength of the sword god at that time, I am afraid that he has been invincible in the world. According to ancient mythological records, the human race was only strong at that time, and it should be able to sweep the extreme west in one fell swoop. However, the sword god finally stopped in front of the ancient capital of Zhenjiao, and then retreated to the mountains and forests, why is this? Maybe in the ancient capital of this town and prison, there is an existence that the sword god does not face unjustly. β
Li Xuanfeng slowly said this secret, and he couldn't help but sigh in his tone.
Ye Xuan had heard of this ancient secret before, but he didn't know it in detail.
"Can't you find the reason in the mythological ancient books of Tianyun City?" Ye Xuan asked.
Li Xuanfeng shook his head: "No, I can only guess that there should be a powerful existence in the ancient capital of the prison that the sword god is unwilling to face." β
If it is a certain heavenly demon that is so powerful that the sword god Xuan Lige is unwilling to face, there is a high probability that it no longer exists, but what the sword god is unwilling to face is something else, then the ancient capital of the prison will be more difficult to break.
