Chapter 557: Inflection Point
It turned out that this Yan army suddenly appeared at the end of the Canglan Plain in the eastern and western regions of Wei, and then attacked the front line from the rear of the Wei army from north to south.
The place is close to the edge of the forest, uninhabited, with only a few small towns. Therefore, the Yan army appeared here and basically avoided the sight of the Wei people.
In this internal and external attack, the Yan army took the four most important cities on the Canglan Plain in one go. At this time, the Wei people also reacted, regardless of the wind and snow, and finally grabbed one back.
These battles were fought so tragically that the two generals of the Yan State were killed on the spot, and the cultivators of the Wei State were all seven or eight dead. More than 50,000 soldiers were killed and wounded on both sides.
In the end, it was the preemptive Yan Kingdom that declared the victory of this winter. The battered Wei army had no choice but to abandon the plains and retreat northward, mostly retreating to the hilly terrain.
The war was at a new turning point.
The Canglan Plain is a fairly fertile grain producing area in the south of Wei, and once the Yan army takes it, as long as it survives the spring and summer seasons, there will be a steady supply of grain, providing strong support for the Yan army's continued northward invasion.
This place will be turned into a large rear with sufficient supplies, and the cost of action of the Yan army will be greatly reduced. This will have a profound impact on the course of the entire war.
This battle turned the tide of the war and changed the direction of the people's discussion in the Yan Kingdom. The voice that originally accused King Yan of being stubborn and squandering human life at will was suppressed, and the praise of using soldiers like a god and killing all sides began to be sung.
The morale of the army also soared.
"Luckily, it's still the middle of winter. "The Yan army can't take advantage of the victory to chase into the snow-covered mountains. When there is still a month left in the beginning of spring, morale will be calm again. Feng Miaojun frowned, still a little puzzled, "How did the Yan army fly over hundreds of miles of obstacles and directly reach the northern part of the plain? This is so strange that no one even saw it. ”
Could it be that he flew over with wings?
If she weren't the queen, I'm afraid she would have to run over to see for herself by now.

Weidu, Miyagi.
Xiao Yan was eating.
The sun was shining, but his face was not good, and in the face of a huge table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, he felt that it was difficult to swallow. He did not summon his concubines to wait beside him.
Sometimes, a monarch needs to be alone.
"The national teacher has arrived!"
Before the announcement ended, Yun Kui walked in, dressed in white and handsome.
His composure and calmness made Xiao Yan, who was full of fire bubbles, very unhappy, and snorted coldly: "What are you going to do!"
"I heard that there is crispy duck on today's menu. Yun Jie pointed to the table, "The cooks in my house can't do it well, so I have to come into the palace to eat." ”
Xiao Yan's face was full of unhappiness: "I usually consult you about military aircraft, but I haven't seen you so active." Having said that, he still instructed the palace people to bring another pair of bowls.
Yun Kui took a piece of duck. A thin layer of puff pastry melts in the mouth, and the tip of the tongue is full of oily fragrance, but it is not greasy. He praised it, but in his heart he thought that someone was especially good at this crispy mouthful.
Xiao Yan also happened to say: "By the way, you said that Xinxia would help Wei Kangyan, why is it still standing still?"
"Then I'm afraid you have to ask the Xinxia National Master, the gentleman has a promise, but when An An will fulfill it is beyond my control. Yun Jie shrugged his shoulders, "Otherwise, you let me go on a trip to the new summer, and I will personally urge her?"
Hearing the words "New Xia National Teacher", Xiao Yan's face became even more stinky. Does the Queen of New Xia have a grudge against him? It's just a matter of fascinating his national teacher, and even his Xiao Yan's beloved woman has to be robbed!
That's the woman he's been dreaming of since he was a teenager, and it's easy to survive the fall of Xiguo, he thought he had a chance to recruit people, but who knew that she was finally deceived by Xinxia to become a national teacher!
Knowing this, he should have personally gone to Xiguo to persuade Yu Zhenzhen!
"You go, who will deploy Yuan Li for me?" Xiao Yan seemed to squeeze out every word from between his teeth, "This is about to go to war!"
Yun Kui sighed regretfully. I haven't seen her for almost a year, and I don't know if the little conscienceless person thinks of him, or if he smiles at other men.
"Yunlai, do you remember your agreement with me?"
"Of course, otherwise what do you think I'm doing?" Yun Wei narrowed his eyes, "Open the map and see clearly, now, aren't you just fighting for world domination?"
There were originally seven great powers in the world, Anxia was annexed by Wei, and then Xinxia was established; Yu was divided by Wei Xia; Pu and Xi were destroyed by Yan.
So up to now, there is one overlord in each of the northern and southern continents, namely Yan and Wei.
These two powers fight each other for the final hegemony.
Yun Jie has long said that he will help Wei to dominate the world, and now he is fulfilling his contract.
Of course, Xiao Yan also understood that this was actually a war between Yun Jie and Yan Wang. He said with a straight face: "Let Xinxia send troops as soon as possible." ”
Yun Kui said softly: "The Xinxia people and the Yao people have enmity with us, and they don't want the queen to send troops. "If An An forces the army to attack like King Yan, it will inevitably arouse the disgust of the army and the people.
"That's her business. Xiao Yan's face sank like water, "Jun has no jokes, and when it comes to nature, he has to do it." ”
Yun Kui took another basket of silver sprouts and fried crab meat, and chewed slowly: "Yes." ”

Not long after, Yun Jie connected with Feng Miaojun and revealed the mystery of the Yan army's surprise victory.
It turned out that the Yan army was not airborne, but escaped by water. To be exact, it is "walked" from the bottom of the water.
There are no human habitants at the junction of the Canglan Plain and the forest, which is why the Yan people chose this place to rise and gather. Still, they left witnesses, but they weren't human.
According to Evian, several monsters living in the forest came to report that a large number of human troops had come up from the bottom of the Moon God Lake more than 40 days ago, one after another, about 40,000 or 50,000 people, who had gathered by the lake for a short time and began to go south, and they did not even spend the night.
They didn't dare to show their faces, so they could only observe in secret. Of course, those tens of thousands of humans could not have swam here directly from the front line, they "walked" over.
The youkai swore that the water of the Luna Lake was separated from the middle by an invisible force, revealing the wet lake bed below. It wasn't until all the humans came ashore that the vision ended, and the lake filled all the space again, and the whole lake of the moon gods was calm, as if nothing had happened.
Feng Miaojun's first association is, of course, the water halberd that was auctioned away by a mysterious buyer at the Hongding Hair Sale. Now it seems that the buyer is not mysterious, it is nothing more than King Yan or King Yan's subordinates. With the water halberd in hand, they led the army to bypass the front line by water, and killed the Wei people directly from behind.
But here's the problem.
Where does the bottom of the Lake of the Luna lead?
Of course, Yun Jie also asked this question. Unexpectedly, the answer given by the monster aborigines in the forest was:
Forbidden Sea.
