Chapter 42: Fishing in the Dry River (Second Update, Subscription!)
Shanhaiguan.
As the eastern starting point of the Great Wall, it has the reputation of being the first pass in the world.
This place originally belonged to Youzhou, called Linyu Pass in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, called Linlu Pass in the Song Dynasty, renamed Qianmin Town in the Yuan Dynasty, had a large number of immigrants here, built ditches, built fortifications, and sent troops to garrison.
In the Ming Dynasty, in order to resist the remnant Yuan forces, Xu Da connected the Great Wall that had been repeatedly repaired and abandoned in the past dynasties to build an integrated defense line and build a fortification.
Leaning on Yanshan Mountain in the north and connecting the Bohai Sea in the south, between the mountains and the sea, Shanhaiguan was born.
As the throat of the Central Plains to the northeast, it is also an important screen to protect the two cities of Beijing and Tianjin.
But even so, when King Yu and Xiongba arrived at Shanhaiguan, it was a beacon of fire and wolf smoke, and blood flowed like a river.
This world is Gaowu, Shanhaiguan takes the Great Wall as the main line, takes the Guancheng as the center, including seventeen acropolis, and now half of it has fallen, the ten major passes have been broken through four, and hundreds of city platforms, enemy platforms, and beacon towers have all been destroyed.
The two sides continue to tug of war, and almost every piece of land here is buried with the bones of soldiers who shed their blood to protect their families and defend the country.
Among them, the Great People's army sacrificed more than 50,000 people, and there were not many of the 30,000 disciples who would rush to support from all over the world.
Seeing the three disciples who asked for sin, Xiongba's heart was furious.
He ordered Qin Shuang to passively face the battle and preserve his strength, but he didn't expect that this big disciple who had obeyed him in the past would dare to disobey his master's orders.
"Greetings to Wu Gong Bo!"
But if there was no sacrifice of the disciples of the Tianxia Society, Shanhaiguan would probably have been broken through at this time, so the generals guarding the pass saluted sincerely, and their voices were rumbling.
"It's all for the country and the people, why be polite?
Xiongba immediately showed his closeness and helped them up one by one.
On the one hand, I feel sorry for the elite of the 30,000 worlds, and on the other hand, I feel happy that I have established my prestige in the army.
"The Lord of the World will change the evil and return to the right, it is really good!"
In comparison, the other group of people is not pleasing to the eye.
Led by a group of Taoist monks, the ten major sects of the Central Plains also came over to pay their respects.
"Ziyang Zhenren!
Xiongba smiled brightly and greeted the heads of the two factions led by him, with killing intent brewing in his heart.
The eight factions of the ten major sects were leveled by the nameless sword of the year, almost half wasted, but Wudang Shaolin is still the head of the white road, Mount Tai Beidou, and has a profound heritage.
Especially Wudang, because Zhu Di claimed to be the incarnation of the Emperor Zhenwu, built the Forbidden City in the north and repaired Wudang in the south, his strength has increased greatly, and he has already overwhelmed Shaolin and become the head of the ten factions, and the world will want to enter the Central Plains, which is a stumbling block that is difficult to remove.
"His Royal Highness!"
Of course, some people are happy and some are worried, and vice versa, the two heads of Wudang Shaolin soon came to greet King Yu.
"The two seniors don't have to be polite!"
King Yu personally greeted him, hugged his fists with the etiquette of the rivers and lakes, and was quite familiar.
When he was young, he once traveled all over the world in Beijing, went to Songshan and Taiyue, and also studied with the disciples of the two sects with the Mingshen martial arts, and his humble attitude and outstanding talent won the unanimous recognition of the upper and lower levels.
Of course, recognition is recognition, and a sect like Wudang Shaolin is impossible to help rebellious ministers and thieves to rebel.
If the king of Yu ascends the throne as the emperor with the support of hundreds of officials, the two factions are happy to see it, and if the king wants to rebel, it is guaranteed to be closed.
However, this time, the attitude of the two factions was unprecedentedly enthusiastic, and even many disciples looked at King Yu with respect.
Because ten days ago, the king of Yu asked for orders at the court meeting, came to Shanhaiguan to supervise the war, retreated to Dongying within a month, and set up a military order, if not, he would depreciate the common people!
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked, and then they were overjoyed and all agreed.
This is not that he was bought by the king of Yu, but that the Son of Heaven said that he would drive the expedition in person.
When the officials heard this, they were almost scared.
The first royal expedition, first the civil fort was defeated, and then went to the outside of the country to destroy Mongolia for half a year, and tossed the Ming Dynasty enough, although the result was good, but this time it came?
What if this person runs to the island to destroy Dongying?
Instead of being frightened, it is better to let the king of the servant who made the military order go up, and if he is defeated, the king will take the blame.
However, they thought very beautifully, but the Son of Heaven angrily reprimanded him by delaying the fighter plane, and finally the civil official group headed by Yu Qian vouched for the king of Yu, so that the king of Yu officially went out of Beijing, and the martial arts were supplemented by the hero.
"The godless palace ghost fork Luo, more than 40,000 ...... have been killed"
"More than half of the Toei ninja regiment ...... killed"
"The detoxification method of the Nine Turning Heart Pill has not yet been found. ”
"Every time the gods go out to fight, our army is unable to resist and suffers heavy casualties. ”
Naturally, King Yu took over the command of Shanhaiguan, and various battle reports were presented, and the generals and martial arts people reported separately.
"So I have already gained the upper hand, and what I am concerned about is absolute godlessness and despicable measurement?"
The king listened carefully, and soon heard the approximate.
Since ancient times, the casualties of the besieging side have been far superior to those of the defending side.
Shanhaiguan is the world's first Xiongguan, of course, no exception.
On the frontal battlefield, Dongying had the upper hand at first, but when the elite of the World Association and the ten major sects arrived, they had already reversed the situation, but Dongying's methods were too despicable, such as the Nine Turns of the Heart Pill of the Royal Family's secret medicine, which can make people lose their nature and obey their orders.
As early as a few years ago, Dongying began to infiltrate, and so far the Ming defenders, I don't know how many people have been secretly placed in the Nine Turns Heart Pill, and even the martial arts people of the ten major sects have been recruited.
After months of hard fighting, the soldiers were already extremely tired, and they had to guard against the betrayal of the people around them at any time, how could they not be panicked and their morale was low?
As for the other great enemy, it is none other than the Lord of the Godless Palace.
King Yu noticed that when mentioning the absence of gods, the master of the Buddha was proclaimed in a low voice.
Shaolin has four major divine skills, and it is said that when cultivated to the extreme, they can rival the gods and demons, among which the twelve levels of the Golden Bell Jar are one of them.
Twenty years ago, the absolute god was frustrated outside the Shanhai Pass, and after learning from the pain, he sneaked into the Central Plains to learn martial arts, and I don't know how to steal the first ten levels, and then improve it, so that he has today's immortal golden body.
The golden body is indestructible, the sword and gun are invulnerable, the first soldier, the invincible, the Ming soldiers and martial arts masters who died in the hands of the gods, there are thousands of people!
In other words, he alone caused one-tenth of the casualties, and the losses caused by this are even more immeasurable!
King Yu's eyes flashed: "According to this, as long as the Absolute God and the ghost Rakshasa under his command are destroyed, Dongying will retreat?"
The face of the general guarding the pass changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness think twice, our army will stick to Shanhaiguan, then Dongying will be defeated!"
For more than half a year, the two sides are actually fighting for stamina.
And the Central Plains is vast and rich, how can it be compared to the small country of Dongying?
The generals guarding the pass are also battle-hardened people, and it is expected that Dongying will hold on for another three or four months, and he will inevitably have no successor, so he only needs to hold on steadily, and this battle will be won.
So when he heard that King Yu had made a military order, he was a sigh in his heart, and sure enough, the prince was young and strong.
"Peace of mind, this king has already schemed, and he will not be greedy for merit!"
King Yu waved his hand: "Ziyang Zhenren, worthy master, this king has important matters to discuss, please stay!"
The others withdrew, and the two masters of the Dao still stood quietly despite doubts in their hearts.
King Yu waited for a moment, his lips opened slightly, but it was a secret transmission: "Two seniors, I don't know if you have heard of the Innate Qiankun Gong?"
"That's the ancient divine skill, created by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, the power of Yin and Yang, absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth for his own use, has long been lost......"
Ziyang Zhenren said slowly, and saw that the king of Yu had his palms together, and the image of gossip appeared around his body, combining rigidity and softness, and it was the first absolute in the world, immeasurable.
"Amitabha, His Royal Highness has obtained this divine inheritance, congratulations!"
When the master saw it, his face was pleased.
"It's a pity that the lonely is young, his skills are low, and he can't perform the seventh heavenly shock, otherwise he will use this to provoke celestial phenomena and natural disasters, then Dongying can be wiped out with a snap of his fingers, how many soldiers and how many heroes and heroes in my martial arts can be saved!"
King Yu sighed, and suddenly bowed: "Two seniors, there is a reluctant invitation!"
"Your Highness!
The two were shocked and hurriedly turned sideways.
The king refused to get up, and his eyes flashed with fierceness: "For the Ming Society, the people of the world, please ask the two seniors to help the king and work together to make a shock!"
