Chapter 175: The Two Countries Clash Each Other

The Eastern Tang Empire and the Northern Chu Empire confronted each other, and the Northern Chu Empire was firmly entrenched in Mengling City according to the danger. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This fortress-like city is located at the junction of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Chu Dynasty, and is of course the only official road that crosses the Sunset Mountains. Mengling City is built on the narrowest section of the Sunset Mountain Range, where the span is only about 100 miles, and it is the least infested area of demon beasts in the Sunset Mountain Range.

For thousands of years, human beings have established a road here to communicate Northern Chu and Eastern Tang, but at that time, there were no four great empires. With the migration of time, the existence of Mengling City gradually appeared. At the time when the four countries were fighting for hegemony, this dangerous Mengling City developed into an important military fortress.

The Eastern Tang Empire stationed troops outside the city, and this time the general of Zhenguo Long Xiangnan led 500,000 troops. Long Xiangnan fought countless battles in his life and made great achievements for the Eastern Tang Dynasty. If it weren't for the fact that it was peacetime, his exploits would have been even more remarkable.

Long Xiangnan is rigorous, intelligent, and has the demeanor of a Confucian general. He rarely lost the wars he participated in, so he was known as an invincible general. He was stationed in the border area all the year round, and his prestige in the army was even greater than that of the pilgrimage. Therefore, there are countless rumors in the court, but Long Xiangnan and the Holy Lord don't care about all this.

Shengshang and Long Xiangnan are brothers of the same mother, and their relationship has been very good since childhood. As the saint often says, even if you give up the throne to the dragon to the south, what does it matter. And Long Xiangnan has done his best for the Eastern Tang Dynasty over the years, but he has never taken a step beyond the thunder pool. This also made Long Xiangnan more powerful and powerful, which caused bad words among many ministers.

Over the years, Long Xiangnan has been stationed at the border all year round, and some courtiers secretly said that Long Xiangnan is building a territory privately, and it is very likely that he will set up his own door.

Therefore, although the battle was handed over to Long Xiangnan this time, the Holy Lord still sent Long Wuji to the military camp as a supervisor. First, it can block everyone's mouth, after all, people's words are terrifying. Second, it can let Long Wuji follow the learning experience, and it can also be gilded. This time, Long Wuji's performance was a deep sacred heart.

The direction that Li Yitian went to this time was Mengling City, as for the news that Long Wuji reported the secret passage, the Eastern Tang Empire had not made any other moves, and perhaps everyone had not found out yet.

The battle for several months has been revolving around Mengling City. Although the invincible general Long Xiangnan personally sat in charge, he was not able to break through this thousand-year-old city. The two warring countries are constantly increasing their troops, as if they are bound to compete here.

Garrisoned in Mengling City is the famous Northern Chu general Chu Zhenhai, Chu Zhenhai is also a brave and warlike general in the Northern Chu Empire, and he is famous for his good defense. Once trapped in the lonely city with 10,000 troops, in the face of 200,000 troops continued to attack for more than a month without breaking, successfully waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, the enemy was defeated and returned.

This time, the task given to Chu Zhenhai by the Emperor of Northern Chu was to stick to Mengling City, as long as Mengling City was not lost, it would be a great achievement.

In the past few months, the two sides have been fighting each other frequently, but it is difficult to distinguish between winning and losing.

What kind of flooding and fire to attack the hole in the ground, dividing the plot and creating rumors, all the tricks have been used almost once, but the gain is very small.

Now the situation has entered a stalemate for a while, and both sides are actively preparing follow-up measures. It was rare to enter a period of peace for several months, but the war was together, and the merchants who came and went here were affected.

The war broke out without warning, and the Eastern Tang Empire continued to camp and go down to the village from the beginning, and only then was it stopped when it reached Mengling City. The merchants who traveled between the two empires, after hoarding a large amount of supplies, were trapped in Mengling City and were not allowed to enter or leave, which was the greatest distress for the merchants.

On the other hand, the Northern Chu Empire did not care about the several cities occupied by the Eastern Tang Empire. As long as Mengling City is not lost for a day, the few cities that were lost before will be recovered sooner or later.

The few isolated cities that could not be defended were just buffer zones for war and resting places for merchants, and it was impossible for Eastern Tang and Northern Chu to garrison a large number of troops here.

"Come and stop, the barracks are heavy, and the idle people are not allowed to approach!" The cavalry spears patrolling outside the camp pointed obliquely at Li Yitian and Ye Fengchi.

Although the cavalry of the ten-person team were all ordinary people in the Mortal Martial Realm, the bloody aura on their bodies was very strong. They rode yellow-maned horses, wore uniform armor, and the knights' spears in their hands looked no less than ordinary magic weapons.

Li Yitian looked at the patrol team in front of him and didn't care at all, these men fighting in the sea of corpses and blood may be very deterrent to ordinary people, but they are not worth mentioning in front of him.

"I'm Senior Brother Long's junior brother, and I'm here to help Senior Brother this time!" Li Yitian directly explained his identity.

Several knights were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly got off their war horses, and the first one spoke: "It turned out to be a friend of His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, and there are already several Tianwu masters who have come to help, two of you, please!"

Although these soldiers are all ordinary people, they also know that the Tianwu Sect is the pride of the sky, and none of them can offend them, and these Xiuzhen Yushi are very strong, and if they offend a little, they may not recover, so they are very careful.

Led by a knight, Li Yitian and the others were taken directly to Long Wuji's big tent.

After the guards went in to report, a hearty laugh rang out: "Hahaha, Senior Brother Yi Tian is finally here!

Before Long Wuji arrived, the voice came out first. The curtain of the tent was lifted, and an eight-foot-tall noble man greeted him outside. This man was Long Wuji, he was dressed in military uniform at this time, but he couldn't cover the lingering dragon energy.

Li Yitian looked at Long Wuji's current bearing, and his heart was even more emotional, this Long Wuji now has the momentum of turning into a dragon. This is not only the reason why he practiced the exercises, but also the dragon qi that he cultivated from time to time when he had been in a high position for a long time.

"Senior Brother Long!"

"Senior Brother Yi Tian!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't say anything, everything was silent.

At this time, there were already a few friends in the tent who came to help, and when they saw Long Wuji greeted them so warmly, they couldn't help but sigh. You must know that when they came, Long Wuji didn't show such excitement.

"Who is this?" Long Wuji naturally wouldn't ignore the friend brought by Li Yitian, and he politely asked about the leaf-wind chimes wearing a hat on his head and covering his face with a tulle.

"This is mine, friend!" Li Yitian said with a little embarrassment, although he and Ye Fengchi both knew each other's thoughts, they were not sure of the relationship, so he couldn't say that the other party was his own.

Long Wuji smiled and gave Li Yitian a look that everyone understands, so that Li Yitian was not embarrassed.

"There are two people in the tent, a few Taoist friends have arrived, let's get to know each other!" Long Wuji personally opened the tent and welcomed the two in.

Several people in the tent were even more surprised when they saw this scene, with Long Wuji's arrogance, who could make him personally lift the curtain to greet him.

"A few fellow Daoists, this is Senior Brother Li I mentioned before, he only betrayed the Tianwu Sect not long ago, and he is also a free body at this time, haha!" Long Wuji pulled Li Yitian to his side and said to a few friends who had arrived early.

These people have been here for a few days, and they are all familiar with the environment.

"This is Li Daoyou, I have heard of it for a long time, Senior Brother Long is so respected, and it is even more famous when I see it today!" A man in white greeted him with a smile.

"Senior Brother Long praised it, and this time I came here to make a modest effort. In this big battle, we have to rely on a few more people!" Li Yitian also smiled and replied.

"Haha, I've heard that Li Daoyou is a tree family for a long time, why don't you show up today and let you see it?"

Li Yitian incarnated into a human form, but no one could see through it, and with their strength, they couldn't see the clues. Li Yitian laughed when he heard this, and instantly turned into a tree body. With a one-person-sized tree body, the strength of the mid-stage of the Jiwu Realm was exposed.

Several of them are peers, and their strength is similar. Long Wuji is now in the middle of the Jiwu Realm, and now Li Yitian has also reached the middle stage of the Jiwu Realm, which is on par with Long Wuji.

"I didn't expect Senior Brother Li's cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds!" "Long Wuji's previous entry into the Jiwu Realm was Li Yitian's strength or the strength of the Breaking Martial Realm, but now that he has caught up with his cultivation, it is not difficult to surpass him.

"It's just a fluke, compared to Senior Brother Long, my strength is not worth it!" Li Yitian said modestly.

Several of the people present here had different minds at this time, and they were able to get Long Wuji's appreciation, and their strength was not weak. Now that I see Li Yitian's strength, I don't have the enthusiasm I had before.

You must know that their strength is not worse than Li Yitian's, but Long Wuji's attitude towards them is not so enthusiastic.

"When you see the front of the battle, will you be embarrassed!" one thought with a sneer in his heart.

Ye-Feng Chime had been silent at this time, and she quietly observed the expressions of the crowd.

After some shouting and asking for warmth, Long Wuji directly asked the guards to arrange a table of reception. In Long Wuji's big tent, the place is still very spacious. It's more than enough to arrange a banquet or something, and the privilege of being a prince is nothing at all.

At the beginning of the banquet, Ye Fengchi also had to take off the hat and veil, after all, it was impossible to bring this obstructive thing with him when eating.

After seeing the true face of Ye Feng Chime, several people were amazed again. Long Wuji kept signaling to Li Yitian, you are really a blessing! The rest of the people also looked at Ye Fengchi with fiery eyes, after all, the beauties of the elf clan do not appear in the human world for long.

After arranging everything, after the banquet, Li Yitian went directly back to his residence. I don't know if Long Wuji intentionally or unintentionally, he only arranged a camp tent for him and Ye Fengchi.

"I'll go talk to Senior Brother Long. Li Yitian said with a little embarrassment.

"No need, that's it!" Ye Feng Chime said in a voice that he could only hear, and Li Yitian immediately stopped when he heard this, and sat back on the bed without mind. (To be continued.) )
