Chapter 728: The Beacon Fire Rekindles the Prelude

After learning the news of the division of troops in the literary and artistic army, Ding Yanzhi, who had just returned to the Yuan Dynasty with Long Cheng, also responded as soon as possible.

Ding Yanzhi, HΓΌlegu, and Wanyan Tiefeng respectively commanded the army to meet the three-way soldiers and horses of the literary and artistic army, while Ali Buge and A Tu led the elite under their command to return to Henan Province to resist the offensive of the Song army.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses of Hebei Province were also divided into two routes, led by Luo Weikun and Ali Hague, who rushed to aid Shanxi and Henan respectively.

It's just that the offensive of the literary and artistic army is obviously faster than expected by the Yuan Dynasty, but in three days, the Second Route Army under the command of Han Derang and others has successively broken through the two counties of Jixiang and Shilou, and advanced towards the Qinjin Gorge Guan.

At the same time, the First Route Army and the Fourth Route Army to the north also attacked the city all the way, breaking more than ten cities in a row.

Four days later, the Third Route Army was blocked by the Hebei army led by Luo Weikun in Zezhou Prefecture.

In the Hebei army, there is Yang Lulu a Seven Realms, Luo Weikun, Guo Jiahui, Zhang Yihao three six realms high-level, the first day of the first day, the two sides have been torn apart, and the huge Zezhou Mansion was almost destroyed by the aftermath of the fierce battle between the two sides.

In the fierce battle, Xu Xuanrong used the Origin Heavenly Dao to urge the Chaos Bell to break Yang Lulu's spear shadow and gun tricks, and then Li Huan and Yu Jieyi also defeated Luo Weikun and Guo Jiahui respectively, and the golden wolf cavalry led by Xiao Jianshan once again showed the power of this prefecture-level army in Huaxia twenty-three years after the fall of the Liao State.

In just one round of charge, 18,000 golden wolf riders surrounded by countless golden blades and horses broke the full 40,000 Red Flame Cavalry, according to post-war statistics, they killed more than 20,000 enemy troops in this battle, and their own battle losses were less than 400 people.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers of the literary and artistic army were so terrifying, Luo Weikun and others had to retreat to Luzhou, relying on the terrain to barely hold back the footsteps of the Third Route Army.

Compared with the swiftness of the Wenbang offensive, the Song army, which was more valued by the Yuan Dynasty, was obviously making slow progress.

When Ali Buge and others rushed back to Henan Province, the Yanggu Army, the Liehong Army, the Huai'an Army, and the Anfeng Army had already hit the Pingdingshan area, but fortunately, Ali Buge rushed back in time, collected the local defeated army, and after meeting with the Yuan Army led by Ali Hague, they launched a confrontation with the Song Army with Pingdingshan as the core.

The Central Plains is mostly flat, suitable for cavalry operations, relying on the advantage of kite flying cavalry, Ali Buge, Ali Hague, A Tu and others led the archers not only greatly delayed the offensive of the Song army, but also caused great damage to the Song Dynasty army.

If you can't catch up, you can't escape, if you rely on the few fortified cities occupied in advance, without Chu Yangge's move, it is really possible to be beaten back to the territory of the Song Dynasty by the Yuan Dynasty army.

Fortunately, there are Chu Crazy Conspiracy and Chu Zheng.

First of all, Chu Haomou designed to rely on several state cities near Pingdingshan to form a defensive line to temporarily block the area where the Yuan Dynasty's archers operated.

Then Chu Zheng used Chu Xuan, Chu Yuan, and Chu Hao to lead an army as bait, pretending to be defeated and fleeing, seducing tens of thousands of archers to chase and kill, and destroying them all with a pre-arranged legion-level magic circle on the way.

Suddenly losing nearly 100,000 archers, Ali Buge and others suddenly reduced the number of elites available at hand, and in desperation, they could only gather their troops and retreat into Pingdingshan, relying on the remaining tens of thousands of archers to continuously delay the Song army's offensive.

It's just that Chu Zheng and Chu Crazy Mou naturally won't give them time to delay, with the Great Wilderness Halberd Rider and the Flame Horse Cavalry as the vanguard, the God Killer Army and the Red Cavalry Army as the two wings, plus more than 100,000 elites such as Yueling Armor Warriors and Golden Lock Puppets, they pushed towards Pingdingshan in a mighty way.

Although they were shot countless by the archers who came and went like the wind on the way, Chu Zheng and the others did not retreat, and pushed all the way to the foot of Pingding Mountain, surrounding the entire city and even the Yuan army in the city.

After that, it was a big fight, the two sides fought fiercely for three days and three nights, the whole Pingding Mountain was full of corpses, blood flowed like a river, Zhang Ziqiang, Long Wu, Wang Yaoda, the new commander of the Anfeng Army Liu Dongman and Ali Buge, A Tu and other four Yuan Dynasty Seven Realms were even more shattered.

In the end, Ali Buge and others left behind more than 50,000 corpses and led the rest of the defeated army to flee north.

*β€”β€”*β€”β€”*β€”β€”*

At the same time, the Shandong province is also in flames, the Wumu Army, the Yiwu Army, the Donghe Army 200,000 troops are divided into more than a dozen troops and horses, constantly interspersed in the hinterland of Shandong Province, although the number of the Song army here is not as good as the other way, but because of Li Yuezhou, Cao Hong and other masters of the rivers and lakes to participate in the war, the progress is faster than that of Henan Province.

*β€”β€”*β€”β€”*β€”β€”*

When the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty fought fiercely in Shandong and Henan, Xu Xuanrong and others had also arrived in Luzhou.

Before the siege of the city, the people of the literary and artistic army had already sensed the momentum of the vast pillar of smoke in the city, Rao is Xu Xuanrong couldn't help but show off her eyes slightly, with the origin of the Heavenly Dao, she keenly sensed that the seven realms in the city were far more than Wanyan Tiefeng and Yang Lulu, and it seemed that there was also the third Seven Realms.

Frowning slightly, Xu Xuanrong was a little puzzled in his heart, it stands to reason that there are only Yao Ruoyu, Han Derang, Xi Shi and himself in the Seven Realms who participated in the war here in Wenbang, even if they add the Black Dragon Army commanded by Wang Liangchen, they only have five Seven Realms level combat power at most.

It's already too much to have two Seven Realms here to fight, and now there is one more? Could it be that the Yuan Dynasty in Henan and Shandong doesn't want it?

Rao is Xu Xuanrong is only smart, and he is also puzzled at this time.

Shaking his head, Xu Xuanrong didn't continue to think about it, since the opponent had arrived, it was useless to think about the reason, it was better to think about how to deal with these three Seven Realms.

Different from Yao Ruoyu's Ending Heavenly Dao, Xu Xuanrong's Origin Heavenly Dao represents the way of starting from scratch and deriving all things, so the help for the progress of cultivation is far better than the end of the Heavenly Dao, since the start of the war, she has broken through to the Seven Realms Double, plus all kinds of hole cards, even against the high level of the Seven Realms, she can not fall behind.

But no matter how she said it, she couldn't match the many Seven Realms of the Jin Kingdom with the strength of one person like Yao Ruoyu, and with her strength, she could deal with two Seven Realms at most, if it became three, even if there was an Origin Heavenly Dao and a Chaos Bell, she might not be able to retreat with her whole body.

After pondering for a long time, Xu Xuanrong finally decided not to attack for the time being, and the whole army was stationed on a plain ten miles outside the city.

However, Xu Xuanrong did not attack here, but the Yuan army in the city was not happy.

Seeing that the literary army had not attacked for two days, Luo Weikun and others simply led the army out of the city and rushed to the camp of the literary and artistic army.

Without waiting for the Yuan army to approach, the literary and artistic army, which knew their movements through the scouts, had already reacted.

The Mandarin Duck Army, the Condor Army, and the White Wolf Army formed a formation to meet them, of which the Mandarin Duck Army was in front, the Condor Army was behind, and the White Wolf Army was divided into two, guarding the left and right wings of the army respectively.

Seeing that there was no figure of Xu Xuanrong in front of the army, Luo Weikun, who was standing in the center of the army, frowned, and Guo Jiahui, who was blonde and blue-eyed beside him, pouted: "I still don't understand, isn't it good if they don't attack?"

Facing this fiancΓ©e, Luo Weikun was a little helpless, and patiently explained: "This is different, now the Song Dynasty is attacking extremely fiercely in Henan and Shandong, and if we drag on here for too long, it is likely to affect the situation there." ”

"What's more," glanced at the formation of the literary army in front of him, Luo Weikun's eyes were a little gloomy, "It's obvious that they have already arrived in Luzhou, but they suddenly stopped attacking, there is clearly something weird, no matter what they think, anyway, there must be some conspiracy, the sooner they counterattack, maybe they can dismantle their conspiracy." ”

Guo Jiahui shrugged and did not speak.

Luo Weikun took a deep breath, looked at his side, and frowned, "What about the city lord of Wanyan?"

There was a young woman with a colorful circular blade standing beside him, and after hearing this, she said lightly: "Several adults said that the literary army may have a conspiracy, they will hide in the shadows, and they will definitely take action at a critical time." ”

Luo Weikun frowned dissatisfiedly, but he didn't say anything, he glanced at the literary army in the distance, raised his right arm and slashed heavily, and shouted: "Led by the Tieshan Wuwei, the first six battalions press forward!"

Hearing his order, Zhang Yihao, who was also one of the righteous sons of Wokotai, lifted the giant shield and led a group of Tieshan military guards to approach, followed by 10,000 Yuan Dynasty armor soldiers, and slowly followed.

"Mandarin Duck Army, form a formation!" Yu Jieyi, who was standing alone in front of the formation with a Yanshan axe in hand, yawned when she saw this, and raised her voice to cheer.

In an instant, tens of thousands of mandarin duck sword soldiers formed countless sword formations in groups of ten, and then every ten small sword formations formed a big sword formation, and finally ten big sword formations formed a larger sword formation.

In this way, a huge sword array composed of countless gear-like small sword formations has taken shape, not to mention how much strength it is, at least just by looking at the endless sword light that Huo Huo is shining within, you can know the power of this huge sword array.

Since the confrontation with the literary army, Luo Weikun also knows the strength of the sword formation of the Mandarin Duck Army, and when he saw that the other party formed a large array, he immediately looked back at Yang Lulu and said softly: "Senior Yang, you are tired of covering one or two." ”

"Good. Yang Lulu nodded, lifted the green bamboo spear and took a half step forward, and wisps of fine crystal light flowed from the tip of the spear, falling and scattering like gem chips.

With Yang Lulu pressing the formation, Luo Weikun temporarily put aside his worries and looked at the battle in the distance again.

Luo Weikun and their reinforcements in Shanxi Province this time originally brought 250,000 troops, but in the first confrontation in Zezhou Mansion, they were killed by nearly 50,000 people by the literary and artistic army, even if they add the army led by Wanyan Tiefeng, there are only about 230,000 people now.

But even so, Luo Weikun, who has an army of 230,000 troops, has enough troops to test the conspiracy of the literary and artistic army, and the more than 10,000 foot soldiers sent out this time are his first round of temptation.

In the early years, the literary and artistic army talked about the elite policy, and each army was a spiritual army, and it was not until later that it occupied Chongqing Fulu that it began to form an ordinary army.

But after all, the time is too short, and now the three town armies of the Mandarin Duck Army, the Condor Army, and the White Wolf Army add up, and there are only more than 30,000 people, and there is really no room for half a useless loss.

But that's all something Xu Xuanrong and others have to consider, for Yu Jieyi, the group of people in front of her are all enemies, and she once led the Mandarin Duck Thieves in Northern Xinjiang to grow from a weak momentum little by little, and she knows very well that the enemy should be completely destroyed with a thunderous force.

Seeing more than 10,000 yuan approaching the footmen, Yu Jieyi grinned, revealing a mouthful of silver-white shiny white teeth.

"Kill!"

With a bow on long legs, the woman with the axe suddenly kicked forward like an arrow from the string, and at the same time, tens of thousands of mandarin duck swordsmen formed a sword formation and slowly moved forward, but the speed was far less than Yu Jieyi, who was advancing alone, they only advanced more than a dozen zhang, and Yu Jieyi had already crashed headlong in front of the formation of the Iron Mountain Wuwei.

Zhang Yihao, who already knew the strength of this woman, didn't dare to be careless, the true qi of the Six Realms spread all over his body, and then absorbed the military momentum of the Tieshan Wuwei around him into his body, and then the giant shield was put down and the muscles of his whole body tensed, and he was about to block the opponent's assault.

Yu Jieyi smiled unconsciously when she saw this, her toes were quiet, and she suddenly turned around when Zhang Yihao's vision was blocked by the giant shield, and she actually avoided Zhang Yihao and crashed into the array next to her.

With a bang, with her current six-fold skills in the Six Realms and the huge military momentum borrowed from "A Thousand Armies of Independence", her brute force became more and more terrifying, and under one blow, she directly knocked out a gap in the front of the Iron Mountain Martial Guard, and then the big axe flew over, slashing the Iron Mountain Martial Guard's shield in front of her.
