The new army in Tacheng has basically completed its training, and the overall situation of Zheng Guo's country has gradually become clear. In the process of establishing the corridor of the Western Expedition, Qianye easily cleaned up the remnants of the second prince's forces. Let those who doubt his use of force completely lose their voices.

And the other princes are not the opponents of Nan Ruohuai, who holds the forbidden army, and they have even suffered defeats, and they have fled to the death, leaving only two or three diehards who are still resisting. Clear-eyed people know that these princes are gone, even if they win one or two battles, it is useless, even if the entire forbidden army is eliminated, Qianye will turn back and destroy them.

Now that the overall situation is clear, there are far fewer people to resist, and there is no need for Qianye to scatter a large number of mercenaries to maintain the occupation. He left 3,000 men on Xudong Island, 2,000 in Liaocheng, and the remaining 5,000 mercenaries were all transferred to Tacheng. At the same time, Qianye also sent people back to the neutral place, transferred another 20,000 mercenaries, and ordered Darkfire to recruit 50,000 new recruits and start training.

During this time, in addition to dealing with military affairs, Qianye's cultivation was also non-stop, and the Force of Dawn advanced by leaps and bounds, and when it came to three days before the Western Expedition, the nine Force Vortex of Qianye had been successfully cultivated.

At this moment, he could see that the Force whirlpool was like a sea of golden light, and the Force was already extremely thick, slowly flowing and rotating, and it was filled with countless golden particles. Above the Force vortex, golden flames of light burned everywhere, extremely hot.

Such a Force Vortex is no longer able to enter, even if it is carefully polished with the Song Scroll, the condensed Force will no longer be absorbed. Now Qianye, as long as he takes a small step forward, he can cross the Heavenly Pass of the Divine Commander and achieve the great cause of the empire that there are not many people.

However, just as he broke through, Qianye was stunned and found a fatal problem!

It is precisely because the Dawn Enlightenment in the Force Vortex is so pure, those golden stock solutions are extremely dense, and the dots during this period are already natural crystallization phenomena, and it is not easy to condense them again, all of them from liquid crystallization? At least when Qianye tried, he tried his best, but he couldn't compress the stock solution to the point where it was enough to condense the crystal.

That is to say, on his own, I am afraid that he will never be able to break through the heavens of God.

When he discovered this, Qianye stayed for a while, and the world's cultivation was worried that the Force was not pure enough, but he didn't expect that too pure would have the opposite effect.

After being stunned, Qianye was not depressed, back then, due to his old injury, each level needed several times the Force, and at that time, even the promotion of the general was slim, so he didn't come over. If you can't do it on your own, then look for external opportunities.

The news of the Thousand Nights Expedition to the West spread throughout Zheng Guo, and the ministers in the court reacted differently, but the mainstream voice was opposed.

In the past few days, the ministers led by Shoufu have tried their best to persuade Nan Ruohuai to find a way to stop the Thousand Nights Western Expedition, and even their words have become fierce to the point of arguing face-to-face.

Shousuke's assertion is that once the Thousand Nights Western Expedition is successful, then the Great Corridor will inevitably fall into his hands, and the entire exit of Zheng Guo will be blocked, and there will be no way to expand. So what does the future hold?

Looking at the impassioned ministers below, Nan Ruohuai, who was on the throne, only felt angry and ridiculous.

In the past few decades, Zheng Guo has lost many victories against the dark race in the western realm, all relying on the defense system of Tacheng, and the fortress has been repaired to the doorstep of the dark race, and it has also expanded? If it is a different person, I am afraid that the dark race has already poured in like a tide.

Now these ministers are afraid that Qianye will take advantage of them, and they will not allow others to take what they can't get. Probably that's the mentality of these people.

Thinking of this, Nan Ruohuai remained silent and asked calmly: "Then how can the king stop it?"

At the moment, all the ministers are offering advice, and there are all kinds of tricks, and there are even those who should be in harmony with the dark race, and fight inside and outside. This is really to kill a thousand nights, and the rhythm of everything is used.

Nan Ruohuai listened quietly, until the ministers had a dry mouth and had to come to an end, Fang said: "The strategies you have offered are very good. So now, who is willing to lead the army to go out and take back Tacheng for the king?"

Above the court, there was a sudden silence.

Qianye, who was in Tacheng, didn't know these episodes in Zheng Guo's court, and Zheng Guo's domestic movements were not important in his heart at all.

On the day of the Western Expedition, Qianye did not engage in any ceremony, but gave orders as usual, and the assembled army set off one by one as planned. As for boosting morale, no kind of speech can be more powerful than the swarms of floating warships in the air.

In the middle of the Dark Race and the Terran fortress group, because it is used as a battlefield all year round, there are basically no human beings, and there are no Dark Race tribes to survive. Some just wander the middle ground, trying to hunt some wild hunters. They are fierce and cunning, always looking for opportunities.

However, in front of the Thousand Nights' air fleet, any wilderness hunter has become a prey, looking at the huge shadows whistling overhead, these hunters, whether Terran or Dark Race, can only desperately hide themselves, praying not to be discovered.

The entrance to the Great Cloister began to shake like never before, the roar of the cannons shook the mountains, the earth trembled, stone forts collapsed, and small fortresses fell into flames in the shells that fell from the sky. The defenders of the stone fort and the fortress fled in a hurry, but what awaited them were gunboats hovering low and mercenaries who landed outside the fortress in advance on transport ships.

The number of airborne mercenaries was not large, but it was extremely fierce, and the firepower was even thicker, and the small force of more than 100 people was so firepower that the fortress guards of five or six hundred people could not raise their heads.

The back road was cut off, and many dark races attacked fiercely, brazenly charging at the mercenaries. They have always looked down on the Terrans, and always felt that the Zheng soldiers were the representatives of cowardice and cowardice, and no matter how many troops there were, a single charge could crush them.

However, they didn't know that this time it was not Zheng Guo's army standing in front of them, but the dark fire mercenaries of Qianye.

The extraordinarily ferocious firepower reaped most of the Dark Warriors halfway through, and the werewolf's proud short dash was a joke in the face of a torrent of metal. One werewolf after another fell halfway through, carrying at least dozens of bullet holes on their bodies.

There were more than 500 dark warriors, and by the time they rushed to the front of the line, there were only more than 100 left. Far from being discouraged, the Dark Warrior became more excited, urging himself into a bloodthirsty state. In the past, a dozen Dark Warriors could defeat hundreds of Terran Warriors by simply breaking into the Terran defenses. Hand-to-hand combat has always been the world of werewolves.

Although they were rushed into the line by the werewolves, the mercenaries did not panic, and threw down their Force guns, drew their saber swords, and jumped up.

The remnants of the Dark Warriors instantly felt like they had hit a metal wall, their swords and claws could no longer bear the heavy armor on the mercenaries, and in turn, the mercenaries were incredibly powerful, almost able to split a werewolf in half with a single sword.

There was only one counter-charge, and there were only a dozen dark warriors left who could still stand. They didn't survive more than a dozen seconds before they were killed in the mercenary's second counterattack.

A similar scenario played out in various places in the front of the Grand Cloister, and the troops of the Thousand Nights continued to raid, destroying the castle, intercepting the fleeing enemies, and uprooting the strongholds on the periphery of the two large fortresses one by one. The cooperation between the fleet, the transport ship and the ground mercenaries is very tacit and hierarchical, and it eats away at the troops of the dark race one by one.

It was all done so quickly that before the werewolves in both fortresses could fully react to what was happening, most of the small outer forts and stone forts had fallen, and tens of thousands of Dark Warriors had been killed or captured.

The command of the commander of the fortress was belated, it was impossible to organize an effective counteroffensive on the spot, and the only option was for the troops from the stronghold outside the city to recall the fortress first, but only half of them were able to successfully retreat under the full interception of the Darkfire fleet.

It wasn't until nightfall that the first day of assault came to an end. By the time the generals summarized the results of the battle and reported them, Qianye was also in good spirits.

In this battle, more than 40 outlying strongholds were uprooted, and more than 15,000 troops of the dark race were annihilated, including more than 6,000 prisoners. Most of the captives were werewolves, but there were also a few spider demons and bloods.

In this way, although the defenders in the two large fortresses still have more than 20,000 people, they have lost the outer barrier and lost these 15,000 soldiers, and the difficulty of the attack has been reduced a lot.

When Xu Jingxuan rushed to see Qianye, his eyes had sunk deeply, and he looked extremely tired. However, he was very energetic, and brought the defense map of the two fortresses to report the attack plan.

The plan he came up with was very detailed and thorough, and even took into account the superiority of the fleet. According to his plan, attacking the fortress required the sacrifice of two or three thousand people.

It stands to reason that it is completely acceptable to attack such a large fortress with such a small number of casualties. However, Qianye clicked on the sign of the fortress's main gun and asked, "You put your main energy here?"

"Yes, sir. According to the information available, only your Ranger's firepower can destroy the cannon and defend against its bombardment. During this time, there must be enough support fire to suppress the other turrets in the city to prevent them from gathering fire for patrol. ”

Qianye nodded and said, "Leave this turret to me, and you can revise the plan again." ”

"Your ......, my lord"

"Do as such. ”

"Yes!" Xu Jingxuan hurried away, feeling a little frightened and excited, he was finally able to see Qianye make a move!

Qianye's sentence just now, in tactical terms, is a strong man's assault. Although theoretically the strong determine the outcome of the battlefield, when it comes to a real battle, the strong assault is not a conventional option, and even fewer people put top combat power at the beginning. Especially when the opposite side is a fixed position, it is difficult to predict the danger level. Once something goes wrong, the battle will collapse directly.

Although Xu Jingxuan had long known that Qianye was powerful, he broke into the fortress alone to annihilate the main artillery, such a move, even if Liu Zhongyuan was still alive, he didn't dare to try.

In the early morning of the second day, when the morning light illuminated the land, the Darkfire fleet had risen again, and like a dark cloud, it rushed towards the fortress wolf's fangs.

As soon as the fleet reached the sky above the fortress, Qianye jumped down from the battle patrol and pounced on the main guns of the fortress.

And the main cannon that was already ready in the fortress roared, and the muzzle of the cannon erupted with amazing firelight, and a blazing fireball blasted towards Qianye head-on!

In the real field of vision, an extremely thick dark force line rushed towards him. This cannon is really of an excellent level, the personal target is so small, and the action of a thousand nights is sudden, and it can be accurately aimed. However, in a flash, Qianye's figure disappeared from its place, and the blazing fireball blasted into the air, continuing upward, hitting a gunboat that could not be evaded, completely shattering its back.
