The Thamel Grand Canyon is located in Mount Thammel. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Mount Thamel traverses the Dukisi Rim, and the Thamel Grand Canyon is the only way to get north-south traffic from the Dukisi Rim. If the main force of the Ningnan Army wants to retreat north into the city-state of Volo, it must go through the Thamel Grand Canyon.

Shangguan Xiu led an army of 300,000 to attack the Thamel Grand Canyon, which was fast enough, but the vanguard of the Ningnan Army still arrived one step earlier, grabbed ahead of the Feng Army, and occupied the important place of the Thamel Grand Canyon.

The vanguard of this Ningnan Army was the Sixth and Eleventh Corps of the Ningnan Central Army headed by Xin Jiyao.

The Wind Army led by Shang Guanxiu had not yet arrived at the Thamel Grand Canyon, and the envoys of the Ningnan Army had already arrived at the Wind Army first.

Shangguan Xiu met with the envoy of the Ningnan Army, who sent a letter from Xin Jiyao.

Unfolding the letter, Shangguan Xiu looked down. The content of the letter is not long, only a few sentences, but Xin Jiyao's arrogance is revealed between the lines.

First of all, Xin Jiyao first laughed at Shangguan Xiu's marching speed was too slow, and then ridiculed the wind army's adaptability was too weak, and he didn't know how to take the lead in seizing the strategic location of Thamel Canyon.

In the end, Xin Jiyao also used the method of agitation in the letter, bluntly explaining that the Ningnan Army only had two legions in the Thamel Gorge, while the Wind Army had three legions, but even so, she gave the Wind Army half a year, and she could not break through the defense line arranged by the Ningnan Army here in the Thamel Valley.

This letter is completely a provocative war letter, and Shangguan Xiu didn't react much after reading it, but after Hu Chong, Li Ling, Menshak and others read it, they were all furious.

Li Ling's nose was almost crooked, and he almost didn't tear up the letter on the spot, he raised the letter in his hand and shouted in a loud voice: "The Ningnan army is almost out of ammunition and food, what capital does she Xin Jiyao have to be so arrogant in front of our army? With only two and a half crippled legions, only more than 100,000 people, blocking the road of our army, there is no doubt that she is a mantis arm!"

After speaking, he saw that Shangguan Xiu, Hu Chong, and Menshak were all silent, he took a deep breath, and said with a straight face: "Your Highness, the last general is willing to lead the army to take the lead and fight to the death with the Ningnan army!"

Li Ling commanded the Righteous Army Corps, which was well-equipped, well-trained, and not weak. If Xin Jiyao hadn't written this letter, and he was vying to take the lead, Shangguan Xiu might have agreed, but now, he was somewhat hesitant.

Shangguan Xiu looked at Hu Chong and asked, "Old Hu, what do you think?"

Hu Chong pondered for a moment and said, "It is reported that it is the enemy's Sixth and Eleventh Army Corps that are currently occupying the Thamel Canyon. The Sixth Army Corps is the main force of the Ningnan Army in the Battle of Massala, with great casualties, the establishment of a corps is now only half a corps, and there are many wounded soldiers in the army, the eleventh corps, the strength will never exceed 80,000, and the strength of the two corps combined, at best, is only 130,000 people, which is very different from our strength. As for the combat strength, the Ningnan Army has long been in the predicament of running out of ammunition and food, although it is still two legions in name, but the combat power of the two legions together, I am afraid that it is not comparable to one legion in its heyday. On our side, only the Third Army Corps is incomplete, and the Righteous Army Corps and the Wang Tingjun Army Corps are all really full of strength, and our army can crush the Ningnan Army. ”

His analysis is very comprehensive, whether it is the strength of the two armies, or the combat power of the two armies, the wind army has an absolute advantage, in this case, the people of Ningnan do not shrink back to avoid the war, but also take the initiative to send a war letter to provoke, provoking their own side to attack, which is worth pondering.

Li Ling frowned and said: "Judging from the future, Xin Jiyao is now playing tricks and bluffing. ”

Menshak shook his head again and again, and said: "I have heard of Xin Jiyao, who is scheming, using the art of war, unpredictable, and should not be underestimated by her!"

After a pause, he said faintly: "As far as I know, Xin Jiyao's combat style has always been steady, and she doesn't fight uncertain battles, since she dares to issue a war letter, it means that she is ready for everything, at least she is not very afraid of us." But the combat power between the enemy and us, General Hu just analyzed it very clearly, our advantage is huge, in this case, Xin Jiyao's radical method must be relied on, as for what she is relying on, I still can't guess. ”

Shangguan Xiu looked at Zhao Chen and asked, "Chen, how is the situation of the Ningnan Army's deployment in the Taimel Gorge?"

Zhao Chen Zhengse said: "The main force of the Ningnan Army is not deployed on the top of the mountain on both sides of the canyon, but outside the canyon. ”

Hearing this, everyone present frowned, and even Li Ling, who had repeatedly asked for help, became silent.

Obviously, the enemy is outnumbered, and the enemy is strong and I am weak, but instead of defending to the death, the southern army of Kening also took the initiative to abandon the steep place on the top of the mountain, and instead deployed on the flat ground outside the canyon, which is a posture of fighting a frontal decisive battle with their own side.

If Xin Jiyao didn't rely on it, how could she dare to do it?

Shangguan Xiu knocked on her forehead, pondered for a long time, smiled indifferently, and said: "Xin Jiyao, this woman is indeed scheming, but her fighting style is not known for her stability, and she will never be timid when it is time to take risks." Now, whether she is bluffing or relying on something, we will know when we wait until the two armies are in front of the formation. ”

The letter sent by Xin Jiyao made the wind army more and more cautious, and during the march, the speed naturally slowed down, and before the army arrived, the spies went first to confirm whether there was an ambush nearby.

Three days later, the Windy Nation army finally arrived at the Thamel Grand Canyon.

The army of nearly 300,000 troops, the lineup is huge, and from a distance, the infantry phalanx composed of officers and soldiers of various armies is next to each other, tearing the ground and the sky, and there is no boundary.

The third legion is located in the middle of the overall camp, the rebel army is located on the left flank of the overall camp, and the royal army corps is located on the right flank of the overall camp.

The battle flags in the army are flying, and the embroidered ribbons are fluttering, forming a vast sea of flags.

With such a scale of wind army, it really has the potential to swallow mountains and rivers. Compared with the Feng Army, the momentum of the Ningnan Army is much weaker.

The defense of the Ningnan army outside the canyon was not perfect, because there were many underground stones, the trenches were not dug deeply, and the earthen walls made of earth and stones were also intermittent, and the entire defense line was silent, as if it was an unguarded defense line.

Just when Shangguan Xiu was pondering whether to make a tentative attack, a group of people suddenly walked out of the defense line of the Ningnan Army, led by Xin Jiyao, the commander of the Ningnan Army on the Duji battlefield.

Behind her, there were dozens of spirit spear shooters with superb spiritual cultivation.

Xin Jiyao and his entourage, riding war horses, walked out of the defense line a hundred meters away, and stood still. Xin Jiyao looked at the Feng army outside, and shouted, "Shangguan Xiu, do you have the courage to come out and talk to me?"

She shouted so loudly that it pierced the sky, and even the soldiers of the Wind Army two miles away could hear it clearly. Shangguan Xiu, who was sitting in the Chinese army, naturally heard it, he smiled indifferently and urged the horse forward.

"Your Highness, be careful of deceit!" Hu Chong said nervously.

"It doesn't matter. Shangguan Xiu said disappreciatively.

Xin Jiyao brought more than 20 spirit spear shooters out of the battle, while Shangguan Xiu only brought Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei out of the battle. The two sides marched in reverse in front of the two armies, and when they came to the center of the battlefield, they stopped invariably when they were still more than ten meters apart.

The distance of more than ten meters is a safe distance acceptable to both sides. Xin Jiyao is not afraid of Shangguan Xiu's speed, and Shangguan Xiu is not afraid of the opponent's spirit spear shooter.

This time was the first meeting between Shangguan Xiu and Xin Jiyao after parting from Tianjing. Looking at the other party, Xin Jiyao is still the same, there is not much change, but his cultivation has improved a lot, and he has now reached the spiritual blood leaving the realm.

Her cultivation could improve so quickly, which surprised Shangguan Xiu. The corners of his mouth hooked and said, "It seems that while Miss Xin is leading the army to fight, she has never forgotten to cultivate. ”

His opening remarks made Xin Jiyao laugh out loud, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Originally, I wanted to tell you the location of Du Ji's two spiritual springs after defeating you, but unfortunately, those two spiritual springs are now gone." ”

You don't need to ask Shangguan Xiu to guess that it must be that when the Ningnan army retreated, they were worried that Du Ji's spiritual spring would fall into their own hands, so they destroyed it. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn't expect Miss Xin to find two spiritual springs here in Duki. ”

"So, Duki is such a good place!" Xin Jiyao couldn't help but sigh. However, it was unfavorable for his side to fight in Duki, so he could only give up such a large piece of land to the Wind Country.

She raised her gaze and looked behind Shangguan Xiu, looking at the Righteous Army Legion and the Wang Tingjun Legion standing side by side with the Third Legion, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said: "The Duki people are really stupid, they think that by helping the Fengren defeat us, Duji Kingdom will be able to become independent, but they don't know that they are now helping a hungry wolf who is more ferocious than us. ”

Shangguan Xiu disagreed with her statement, he said: "No one is born stupid, and the choices people make will only be the most self-interested." ”

"You mean, the Wind Country has no covetousness for Duki? haha-" Xin Jiyao laughed on his back as if he had heard what a funny joke.

Looking at Xin Jiyao, who couldn't stop laughing, Shangguan Xiu shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal.

He can only say that he has lost the intention of annexation of Dookie, and as for whether the court of his country can also accept his idea, he dare not guarantee it, after all, Douky is now a big fat piece at his fingertips, and anyone who looks at it will be greedy.

"Where's your hair?" Xin Jiyao suddenly suppressed her laughter, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she looked at Shangguan Xiu.

"Cut it off. Shangguan Xiu casually took off his helmet and pulled the short hair on the top of his head twice.

"Deviant. Xin Jiyao muttered dissatisfiedly.

Shangguan Xiu's words changed, cut to the point, and said, "Surrender." ”

"What?" Xin Jiyao seemed to wonder if his ears had misheard.

Shangguan Xiu said: "The major events in the world will be united for a long time, the country of wind and Ningnan have been separated for hundreds of years, and now it is time for great unification, whoever acts as a stumbling block in this matter and arranges resistance will inevitably be spurned by future generations." Xin Jiyao, you and I have known each other for many years, although we can't talk about deep personal friendships, but at least we cherish each other. Give up, you and I will work side by side to complete this century-old cause and go down in history, wouldn't it be happy?"

Xin Jiyao stared at Shangguan Xiu for a moment, nodded, and said: "I agree with your statement, the world's major events will be together for a long time, but why is it not Haotian who is with your wind country, but the wind country with me Haotian?

Shangguan Xiu sighed secretly, this is a dead knot, the wind people think that the people of Ningnan stole the territory of the country of wind, and the people of Ningnan think that it was the people of the wind who stole the territory of the country of Ningnan, who is right and who is wrong, grievances and grievances, can be traced back hundreds of years, and it is no longer clear.

"Since it is no longer clear who is the king and who is the thief, we can only rely on our fists to speak. Shangguan Xiu said: "Now that the Fengguo fist is big, and Ningnan's fist is small, if you still want to die standing on the broken ship of Ningnan, you can only sink to the bottom with it." Ditch it, it's your best way out. ”

Xin Jiyao looked at Shangguan Xiu, giggled, and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, but your eloquence has become good." ”

"So, has Miss Xin been persuaded by me?"

Xin Jiyao didn't answer immediately, she slowly raised her hand and pulled out the saber under her side. Seeing this, Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei's hearts were shocked, and they invariably urged forward.

Shangguan Xiu waved to the side, signaling the two not to move. Xin Jiyao looked down at the sword in his hand, and his fingers flicked on the sword body suddenly, and he heard a crisp sound and the sword body broke.

She raised her head and looked directly into Shangguan Xiu's eyes, her eyes were slightly red, and she said word by word, but she said sonorously: "You and I are friends, like this sword!"
