The common people are still celebrating the New Year in peace as always, but the big forces in Yongzhou and the Chaos Domain are in full swing to prepare for the war.

The 2023 year of the Heavenly Dao Calendar has just arrived, and all the Dao Cities in Mingfeng County are in a depressing and heavy atmosphere. The atmosphere within the Qingshan Sect was even more solemn, and emergency meetings were held every day.

Sect Master Zhou Tai had a gloomy face every day, and all the elders were frightened and cautious, and they didn't dare to say much.

Boom!

In a living room, Zhou Tai slapped the table with anger on his face, and the maids standing on both sides trembled in fright.

"Give it all to me!" Zhou Tai waved his hand and snorted in annoyance. Seeing this, the maids hurriedly retreated.

"It's all waste, at a critical moment, when discussing countermeasures, a group of old things can't hold back a fart for a long time!" Zhou Tai walked back and forth, shouting and scolding angrily.

From the fast rhythm of his pace, it can be seen that he is extremely anxious and uneasy in his heart at this time.

We have just met again to discuss how to meet the war we are about to face. As a result, no one dared to take the initiative to speak at the meeting. Even if he asked questions by name, he was hesitant, and he couldn't say why for a long time.

Zhou Tai only thought that the elders did not dare to speak, but he never thought about it. He doesn't take the elders seriously at all on weekdays, and he has a monopoly on power and is domineering. When facing him, the elders had long developed a cautious character. They all hold the attitude of saying less and doing less and making fewer mistakes, and not saying and doing nothing.

At this time, there is no one to express opinions casually. Even if you have a good idea in your heart, you keep it in your heart and don't say it.

"Father, what did the Heavenly Dao Alliance say, could it be that they didn't care about us at this time?" asked Zhou Yangsheng, who was standing on the side.

"I've sent someone over to ask, but I haven't received a reply yet. They won't leave us alone, don't worry. Anyway, your grandfather has a lot of status over there. And over the years, our Zhou family has also done a lot of things for the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Otherwise, why would we have been working against the Tian Yuan Sect for so many years. ”

At the end of the spring of 2024 in the Heavenly Dao Calendar, the Huajia of the Chaos Domain, the Tianyuan Sect, and the Danxia Mountain, the tripartite forces increased their troops from the north, east, and south directions, respectively, and launched a large-scale military operation.

At the beginning of the summer of 2024 in the Heavenly Dao calendar, the tripartite army is overwhelmed, and war is about to break out.

Among them, the most powerful side was the Tianyuan Sect, which almost used the power of the entire sect to dispatch nearly 10,000 Tianyuan Guards, and the defenders of each city gathered 50,000 people.

The second is the alliance of the Hua family and the Yandaolou Business Alliance. There are 5,000 guards in the Hua family and 20,000 defenders in each city. The Yandaolou Shang Alliance Monk Department mobilized 3,000 people, although the number was not much, but the minimum cultivation of the 3,000 monks was Yuan Xiu. Such a high-quality individual soldier strength is not much better than the combat effectiveness of the five thousand guards of the Hua family.

Even Danxia Mountain, which has always been unconcerned by all forces, has shown strength that is not inferior to Qingshan Sect after more than a year of rapid development.

The battle finally began in early May, and it was Tian Yuanzong who took the lead in attacking. In order to hit the morale of the other party, although facing a small Dao city, the Tian Yuan Sect directly sent Tian Yuan Wei into battle.

Thousands of days of Yuanwei straddled the battle horse, wearing battle armor, neatly arrayed, and the momentum was earth-shattering. At the front, dozens of large modified hearses, heavy iron armor, sharp drill bits. At first glance, it is a sharp weapon used to break through the city wall.

More than a dozen spiritual realm powerhouses flew in mid-air, lined up, and each of them released a powerful momentum. In the face of the opponent's open protective array, they unleashed attacks one after another.

The Qingshan Sect knew that it was invincible, so it could only retreat into the city, not daring to come out to meet the enemy.

Above the sky, under the continuous attack of more than a dozen spiritual realm powerhouses, the city protection array was crumbling. Plus the impact of dozens of heavily armored modified hearses below.

After holding on for a while, the protective array finally burst with a bang.

The imaginary tragic battle did not appear, only at the beginning, with the people of the Qingshan Sect supervising the battle, the defenders of the city resisted a wave of attacks. However, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and more than a dozen spiritual realm powerhouses flew into the city and singled out the leaders of the Qingshan Sect to kill.

The Qingshan Sect just sent some people with average cultivation to supervise the battle. The really important people didn't appear here, and they probably stayed in the county capital. Wait until the last moment, and then fight the enemy to the death.

After several of the leaders of the Aoyama Sect were killed, many of the defenders in the city chose to give up resistance. It can be seen that under the rule of the Qingshan Sect, it is not very popular with the people.

Not many people are willing to fight to the death, not to mention that this is an unusually uneventful battle.

The real soldiers are guarding a land, not a corrupt regime.

Regardless of the era and place, correct market rules can correct the mistakes of capital, and wise public opinion can correct the mistakes of the regime. As long as the mistake is greater than the consciousness of the current people, then the regime will lose the support of the will of the people, and even bring about a violent revolt. Bullying the people is like deceiving the heavens. To deceive the world is to deceive oneself.

Xiao Qingyun stood on top of the city gate, holding the amplification device used by the Propaganda Department. Promise the soldiers and civilians in the city that they will not disturb the people, do not destroy property, and do not allow rape, killing, and plundering.

The name of Tianyuan Qingyun is well known to everyone in Yongzhou, and he has loved the people like a son for decades. Therefore, Xiao Qingyun appeared to personally guarantee that he still had a lot of influence.

With Xiao Qingyun's assurance, the soldiers and civilians in the city gradually calmed down. The Tianyuan Sect took over the city in an orderly manner and seized control of the Great Array of Protectors. Then implement a series of appeasement practices to minimize the losses caused by the war.

On the border between the Chaos Domain and Mingfeng County, the allied forces of the Hua family and the Shang Alliance have set up camp under one of the other party's cities and are about to attack.

The tents in the barracks stretched for several miles, and Hua Yinyu, Qin Jue and others were discussing the pre-war deployment.

"We will wait until late at night to attack, the Hua family is in charge of the west gate, and your merchant alliance is in charge of the east gate. When the time comes, a few spiritual realm powerhouses from my Hua family, plus the assistance of Jiang Lao and Mo Lao, will break through the opponent's city protection array. There are also many siege hearses to help, and the opponent's protective array should not last long, what do you think?"

Hua Yinyu pointed her finger on the map on the desktop and said, after speaking, she turned her head to ask for Qin Jie's opinion.

Qin Jue looked at Jiang Lao and Mo Lao, and when he saw the two of them nodding, he also said, "Okay, just decide." However, after breaking the city, let the armored hearse take the lead first, and don't be too aggressive. Slowly put pressure on the other side to avoid unnecessary casualties. Try to make the opponent give up the defense, without the big protective array, it is impossible for them to defend the city. ”

After speaking, he didn't seem to be at ease, and continued: "If after the opponent's protective array is broken, the consumption of our spiritual realm powerhouses is not too large, don't let the army launch a siege charge first. You can let the spiritual realm powerhouse put a wave of pressure first, see if the other party is willing to surrender and then make a decision on whether to attack the city. ”

When they heard him say this, they all looked at him with some surprise.

Hanabi smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't know that this big city protection array is not so easy to break." Even if our Spirit Realm powerhouse attacks with all his strength, without an attack of half an hour, he may not be able to break it. ”

After all, Qin Jue is also the leader of a force now, and Hua Huo seems to be afraid that he will not be able to save face, and then said: "This is just an ordinary city protection array, if it is replaced by the large array you arranged and enhances the ability to counterattack, it will be enough for us to drink a pot." ”

Hearing this, everyone laughed.
