Chapter 37: The Escalation of the War
Chapter XXXVII: The Escalation of the War
Zhou Yunfeng knew that these people were loyal to Yun Xuchong, not because of how much Yun Xuchong was loved, or how high his prestige was, all because of the Yun family.
Among the 200,000 people led by Yun Xuchong, the generals are either people from the Yun family or people loyal to the Yun family, so these 200,000 people don't believe in Yun Xuchong as they believe in the Yun family.
Therefore, most of them would be indifferent to Zhou Yunfeng's words, but Yun Xuchong had already been killed, how could this be changed by a trace of luck in their hearts.
Because Yun Xuchong was killed, although many people in the central army did not believe this, their morale still suffered a big blow.
In fact, to convince these people, Zhou Yunfeng is not impossible, that is, to find out Yun Xuchong's body, although now Yun Xuchong's head has been shot, but his armor can't be faked, but Zhou Yunfeng doesn't plan to do so.
Without Yun Xuchong, Zhou Yunfeng naturally freed his hands, seeing that these people didn't know what to do, Zhou Yunfeng rarely talked nonsense with them, and rushed to the ground with the Sky Devouring Spear.
Originally, the Central Army had been constantly defeated, and now there are not only four more infantry teams, but also a peak powerhouse like Zhou Yunfeng, so the situation of the Central Army is even more dangerous.
With the addition of Zhou Yunfeng and more than 30,000 infantry, the war ended quickly, most of the 150,000 Central Army were killed, and less than 40,000 people surrendered in the face of death.
The battle had just ended, and Zhou Yunfeng did not stop at all, leading the army straight to the skyscraper.
The ultimate goal of capturing Skyscraper Ridge is to take the Skyscraper, and only by taking the Skyscraper City can this battle be regarded as a real victory.
There are only 30,000 city guards in the skyscraper city, how can it be the opponent of the hundreds of thousands of people in the Fengyun division, the Fengyun division has just won a big victory, the morale has increased greatly, and the fighting spirit is shocking, and in less than half an hour, the skyscraper city has been breached.
After the Sky City was breached, the Fengyun Division quickly occupied the entire city, and at this time, Zhou Yunfeng's affairs were already busy, so Zhou Yunfeng planned to find Tie Xiong and a few people, first, he was a little uneasy in his heart, and second, he wanted to watch the battle.
It's just that when Zhou Yunfeng was about to leave, Tie Xiong and Yan Tao came back, and also brought back the bodies of Yun Tongkai and Yun Tongshan.
Looking at the two corpses in the middle of the hall, Zhou Yunfeng couldn't help but be a little excited, he was excited not that these two people were killed, but that he could get the soul of the Martial Emperor strong again, fortunately the souls of the two had not dissipated at this time, and it could be seen that after killing the two, Tie Xiong and Yan Tao would immediately rush back.
Tie Xiong introduced Yan Tao to Zhou Yunfeng, and he also heard from Yan Tao that he had fought with Yuntongshan back then, but at that time, in order to protect the people of the Long family, he couldn't fight with all his strength, so he was stabbed by Yuntongshan.
And today Yan Tao finally avenged the revenge of the sword of the year, but the price paid by Yuntongshan was death, but the killing of Yuntongshan, Yuntao also paid some price.
When the two of them came back, Zhou Yunfeng found that Yun Tao's face was a little pale, obviously he had suffered some injuries in the process of killing Yun Tongshan.
Yan Tao and Yun Tongshan were both Martial Emperors in the late stage of the Four Tribulations, so it was almost impossible to kill each other and retreat with their whole body
"Grandpa Yan, why did you suddenly appear here? I don't know anything about it!" Long Hao looked at Yan Tao and asked.
"Young Master, in fact, I arrived when you left Tanikou City, but I have been following Lao Tie in the dark, and you don't know what to do!" Yan Tao said with a smile.
"Ha Luha, Brother Long Hao, this should be Uncle Long who is not worried about your safety, so he specially sent Grandpa Yan to protect you!" Zhou Yunfeng also called Yan Tao the same as Long Hao, and said with a smile.
"Yes, but it's not!" Yun Tao said.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Yunfeng asked puzzled.
"Third Young Master, in fact, when the Tianyun army left Gukou City and entered the hinterland of the Congyun Empire, there were Martial Emperor powerhouses following suit, and not only your mid-lane army, but also the left and right armies, but they have always been hidden in the shadows, and they will not make a move unless they have to. Tetsuo said.
"The war is going to escalate?" Zhou Yunfeng pondered for a while and said uncertainly.
"No wonder everyone says that you are witty, it seems that it is really true, and you figured it out so quickly!" Yan Tao said with an appreciative smile.
War is limited to Emperor Wu, this is not an iron law, it's just that the general cultivation will resign from his post when he reaches Emperor Wu, devote himself to cultivation, and rarely stay in the army or the court.
And there are only a few existences like Zhou Xiaojun and Yun Xuyang, firstly, because of the needs of the army, in a main battle legion, the strong people of the Martial Emperor can be accommodated, and the strong men of the Lower Martial Emperor can be left, and the second is that the war needs, and there is no suitable successor, so the commanders who have broken through to the Martial Emperor will not retreat.
The two legions like Qinglong and Viper have always been in a state of confrontation, because they need to be balanced, so the two empires will try their best to adjust the strength of the commanders of the two sides in a state that can roughly match, even if the strength of the two sides is not equal, they will also send peak strength for the legions, so that the peak strength of the two legions will remain in a balanced state.
Zhou Xiaojun, who had just taken over as the leader of the Blue Dragon Legion, was just a Martial Emperor powerhouse, so in order to make the Blue Dragon Legion inferior to the Viper Legion at its peak strength, Zhou Zhantian sent several Wind Thunder Guards to Zhou Xiaojun.
In the process of the war between the two armies, the reason why the families and forces of the Congyun Empire did not make a move was because they were afraid of affecting the family or the sect, but if they were not afraid of being implicated, or their fate had been connected with the Congyun Empire, then it would no longer be useful for everyone to say that the Martial Emperor and below would not participate in the war.
And the Yun family is one of the typical examples, the Yun family and the Zhou family and the Long family have enmity, if the Cong Yun Empire is destroyed, then the Zhou family and the Long family will definitely not let go of the Yun family, at that time the Zhou family and the Long family are the heroes of the Tianyun Empire, and the Tianyun Empire will not let go of the Yun family in order to win over the two families, coupled with the strength of the two families themselves, the fate of the Yun family can be imagined.
A family like the Yun family is not the only one in the Congyun Empire, but they are not all fighting against the Tianyun Empire because they have a grudge against the power in the Tianyun Empire, but their fate has been closely linked with the Congyun Empire, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, so they have to pay for their lives.
And the warriors like Yan Tao who followed secretly, what they were guarding against was the crazy counterattack of those families, which was actually an escalation of the war, which would only appear when the Cong Yun Empire was in danger of annihilation.
Because at that time, the Congyun Empire was already in danger, and those families and forces that relied on the Congyun Empire to survive naturally could not sit still.
The participation of the Martial Emperor in these powerful forces into the war between the two empires will inevitably escalate the war unconsciously, and Zhou Yunfeng can even predict that the battle of the Martial Emperor will become the second decisive layer that determines the outcome of the war.
In the Tianxuan Continent, although the Martial Saint powerhouse exists, there are very few, so the Martial Saint powerhouse has become the foundation of the major imperial kingdoms.
The outcome of the decisive battle between the two countries is naturally decided by them, and they are the ones who decide the fate of the country, and those armies below, although they are the foundation of the country, their victory or defeat cannot determine the real victory or defeat of a country.
The warriors below the Martial Emperor are generally involved at this military level, so this has resulted in very few strong Martial Emperors on the battlefield, but this does not mean that the strong Martial Emperors have no influence on the balance of the war.
In fact, on the contrary, the strong men of Emperor Wu have an immeasurable impact on the victory or defeat of the war, because when their figures appear on the battlefield in large numbers, it is the time of the real decisive battle, and then it is the real life-and-death struggle between countries.
"It seems that the strength is still too weak!" Zhou Yunfeng imagined that Emperor Wu would continue to appear on the battlefield in the future, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Zhou Yunfeng's smile was bitter, and the faces of Long Hao, Zhou Yunlong and the others who heard Zhou Yunfeng's words were even more bitter, although they didn't know how strong Zhou Yunfeng's strength was, but the strength they showed now was already invincible under the Martial Emperor, and even Yun Xuchong, who had just broken through to the Martial Emperor, could fight fiercely for a few rounds, and such strength was still too weak, let alone these people
After capturing the skyscraper, Zhou Yunfeng did not continue to march into the army, but stayed in the skyscraper to rest.
Taking the Sky City, the Fengyun Division paid a lot of price, and this was also the most tragic battle in the history of the Fengyun Division, so Zhou Yunfeng let the army stay in the Sky City to rest.
"Report to the division commander, someone outside wants to see you!" Zhou Yunfeng was looking at the report of the battle losses of the various brigades handed in by the commanders below, when a soldier bowed down and reported.
"See me?"
Zhou Yunfeng thought for a while, he didn't seem to have any acquaintances in this skyscraper, and the people he knew were all people from the Fengyun Division, who would come to see him?
"Did he say who he was?" asked Zhou Yunfeng.
"He said his name was Lin Cang!" replied the soldier truthfully.
"What? Say it again, what did he say his name?" Zhou Yunfeng was shocked and asked uncertainly.
"He said his name was Lin Cang!" Zhou Yunfeng's abnormality startled the soldier, but he still mustered up the courage to say it again.
"It's cousin, will they appear in the skyscraper?" Zhou Yunfeng wondered in his heart.
"Where is the person who came now?" Zhou Yunfeng put down the things in his hand and got up and asked.
"Outside the gate. The soldier glanced at Zhou Yunfeng, whose face was slowly showing joy, and said, "If the division commander wants his subordinates, go and call him in immediately." ”
"No!" Zhou Yunfeng shook his head.
The soldier saw a happy look on Zhou Yunfeng's face, and thought that Zhou Yunfeng was familiar with the people outside, so he would ask boldly, but he didn't expect Zhou Yunfeng to answer like this, so he was a little confused.
"I'll go and greet him personally!" Zhou Yunfeng suddenly laughed as the soldier muttered in his heart, and then walked around the soldier and wanted to walk outside the door.
