Because the time has not yet come, Shi Ziling and Ma Yu did not tell everyone all the details of the plan for this expedition, but only revealed that they were about to send troops to support Xiahou Yuan recently, so that everyone could get ready, and then Shi Ziling and Ma Yu began to select specific personnel.

According to Shi Ziling and Ma Yu's plan, they will lead 50,000 elite soldiers to the northwest. Most of the 50,000 elite soldiers came from the Songhu Legion, and a small number came from the southern camp of the city defenders, who were basically the elite of Shiziling's cronies. The rest of the Songhu Legion was led by Bai Qingshuang and stayed in Songhu City just in case.

After selecting the people, Ma Yu went to report to Su Bairen about the plan, and Shi Ziling flew pigeons to pass the book to Bai Wuya, Dian Weiye and Nangong Xia.

Since the outbreak of the war in the northwest, Bai Qingshuang was quite worried about whether his father Bai Wuya's Shura Mansion in the north would be damaged, and after listening to the plan agreed between Shi Ziling and Ma Yu, Bai Qingshuang was very happy, and immediately wrote a letter by himself, so that Bai Wuya could wait for the opportunity to help meet Shi Ziling's expedition on the side of Black Dragon City.

As for Elder Dian's side, Shi Ziling passed the book through Su Xiaoxiao and the beggar's unknown subordinates, the purpose was of course to hope that Elder Dian's attack could slow down Luo Linhai's offensive rhythm, and hoped that their side could fight for a longer time.

After the flying pigeon passed the book, Shi Ziling continued to train the 50,000 elite soldiers he had selected, and patiently waited for the time to go out.

On the side of Zhongzhou Mansion, Elder Tuan was a little surprised at first after receiving the flying pigeon summons, but he didn't expect that Shi Ziling, the immortal five, would also be involved in the battle for hegemony in the Mingyue Continent. But if you think about it carefully, Shi Ziling's reputation in the Bright Moon Continent today is indeed enough to dominate the side, since he is willing to come forward to confront Li Yuan, the Immortal No. 1, Dian Weiye, the Immortal No. 3, is naturally willing to support it.

Dian Weiye originally just wanted to return to the Star Continent as soon as possible, but he never had the opportunity to go back, and as a person who did not know martial arts, although he had the backer of Huguo Temple, once the imperial court collapsed, Huguo Temple would naturally be affected.

Of course, Dian Weiye understands that the corruption of the imperial court has reached a precarious point, and there are many rules and precepts in the Huguo Temple, if he is never able to return to the Star Continent, it is time to find a trustworthy backer again.

Since he had a detailed discussion with Shi Ziling in Songhu City, he knew that Shi Ziling's character was not bad, and he was not as ruthless as Li Yuan, if Shi Ziling could create a foundation in the Mingyue Continent, he would naturally take more care of him, an executor who was also from the Star Continent.

Moreover, Shi Ziling's reputation is now in full swing, he has defeated many top masters one after another, and he has the Songhu Army in his hands, so if he is good at seizing the opportunity, he does have a chance to stand out.

Although Dian Weiye still doesn't know the detailed plan of Shi Ziling, from his point of view, it is not necessarily that Li Yuan, who is the strongest, will definitely be able to laugh the most, since Shi Ziling took the initiative to contact him for help, of course he is willing to help.

Anyway, for him, it doesn't matter who wins or who loses whether it is Luo Linhai's imperial army or Tang Jingtian's rebellious army, he just obeyed the instructions of the abbot of Huguo Temple when he went out with the army this time, and he didn't care if he could sweep away Tang Jingtian's rebellious one.

Elder Dian immediately proposed to Luo Linhai to adjust the deployment, saying that because he could not attack for a long time, in order to avoid damage to the elite, he suggested that Luo Linhai retreat his Yellow Dragon Legion for ten miles, and let the White Lion Legion and those local miscellaneous armies be responsible for attacking the city.

At the same time, in order to avoid pushing the Tang camp too quickly, Elder Dian suggested that he could send someone to persuade the Tang camp to surrender before attacking the city.

When Luo Linhai heard this, he had always been very sad that his Yellow Dragon Legion had suffered too much loss in this crusade, anyway, he had successfully besieged Zhongzhou City now, and the suggestion put forward by Elder Duan was exactly what he wanted.

As for persuasion, Luo Linhai also felt that it was quite necessary, he had always been quite jealous in his heart that Tang Jingtian was a closed disciple of Yuan Shi Tianzun, and he was very afraid that the other party would move out of the first person in the universe Yuan Shi Tianzun if he was forced to be in a hurry.

The generals and strategists under Luo Linhai originally thought that it was the best policy to break through Zhongzhou City as soon as possible, but they also knew that the Tang camp was strong, and although it was temporarily on the defensive, it was not trivial to really fight for their lives.

These high-ranking generals from the capital are usually pampered in Yanjing City, and most of them don't want to fight too fiercely with Tang Ying.

Anyway, pushing the newly established White Lion Legion to the front line of the offensive again, even if it fails, it will not have a fatal impact on the entire crusade army, at most it will slow down the progress of this crusade. Fortunately, the food and grass preparations for this crusade army are quite abundant, and it will not hurt to drag on for a while.

In the Black Dragon City in the north, Xiahou Yuan was worried about the trapping of Yanzhao Pass. Although Yan Zhao Pass can still be supported for the time being by virtue of natural hazards, Li Yuan's army is obviously determined to break through Yan Zhao Pass this time, and has organized many batches of martial arts masters of the Tongtian Sect to attack the city in turn.

Xiahou Yuan dispatched a large number of good men from his family to support, and although he temporarily repelled the opponent's attack, he was already exhausted. Although Li Yuan's siege team also suffered a lot of casualties, the top masters of the Tongtian Sect had not yet made a personal move, and it was expected that they would wait for the masters of the Xiahou family to defend the city to be almost exhausted before launching a deadly raid.

Today, almost all the good men in the Xiahou family have rushed to Yanzhao to guard the city, and there are not many people in Black Dragon City to support.

Xiahou Yuan did not expect that Li Yuan's preparations for this large-scale attack would be so sufficient, and he sent the Black Dragon Legion several times to intercept the rear of Li Yuan's two major armies, hoping to relieve the pressure on Yanzhao Pass, but they were all ambushed by Li Yuan's army, not to mention the heavy losses, and the morale of the army was also shaken.

In fact, since the setback of Xiahou's flying Yanyun Iron Cavalry, the morale of the two major legions under the command of the Xiahou family has been hit, after all, the Yanyun Iron Cavalry is the most powerful elite of the two major legions of the Xiahou family. What was even more unexpected was that Li Yuan's attack was so fierce that it had the intention of annexing the north in one fell swoop, which surprised the Xiahou family, who had always thought that they could compete with Li Yuan.

After these days of hard fighting, these soldiers under the command of the Xiahou family know the true strength of the two major legions of Li Yuan, whether it is the Blue Wolf Legion or the Grizzly Bear Legion, which are stronger than the two major legions of the Xiahou family's Black Dragon and Yanyun.

Although Yan Zhaoguan can still support it for a while for the time being, Xiahou Yuan is anxious in his heart. He sent messengers of his cronies everywhere to ask for help from various families, especially hoping that Su Bairen in the east and Nangong Xia in the south would send troops to rescue, and promised to thank him afterwards.

It's a pity that the two major forces in the southeast are indifferent to this, neither Su Bairen nor Nangong Xia is willing to clash with Li Yuan for the sake of Xiahou Yuan, let alone directly send troops to the north to help Xiahou Yuan resist the enemy.

Xiahou Yuan was disappointed when he received the news.

After this period of confrontation with Li Yuan's army, he already knew that the two major legions of his family were still slightly inferior to Li Yuan's two major legions in terms of combat power, and in terms of the number of martial arts masters, the Tongtian Sect had a clear upper hand. Once the natural danger of Yanzhao Pass is overcome, there will be no basis in the northern hinterland to stop Li Yuan's two major armies, and there will really be only one way to defeat at that time.

In desperation, on this day, Xiahou Yuan came to the main altar of Shura Mansion again, hoping to seconded a group of martial arts masters to Bai Wuya to Yanzhao Pass to support his son Xiahou Feiyang.

Although Xiahou Yuan knew that the Shura Mansion was not prosperous, and the number of disciples was not very large, almost every one of them had quite good strength. If Bai Wuya was willing to send a group of disciples to the front line to support Xiahou Feiyang, it would definitely greatly ease the pressure on them to defend the city.

It's just that since he and Bai Wuya fell out because of their children's marriage, there has been little contact between the two, if it weren't for the fact that the foundation of Shura Mansion in the north might be taken away by Li Yuan, Bai Wuya would not have agreed to help Xiahou Yuan fight against a strong enemy in a critical situation. Despite this, Xiahou Yuan was still quite worried about whether Bai Wuya would be able to agree to borrow today.

To Xiahou Yuan's surprise, Bai Wuya's attitude today was quite friendly, and when he saw Xiahou Yuan, he said with a smile: "Brother Xiahou, I was just about to go to you to inquire about the specific situation of the front-line war, but you came to the door in person." How's it going?"

Xiahou Yuan knew that Dao Bai Wuya's temper had always been hot, seeing that he was in a good mood today, his heart was a little calm, and he felt that there should be a drama when he came to borrow someone today, he sighed: "Brother Bai, I won't tell you, Yan Zhaoguan has been getting tighter and tighter these days, Li Yuan has repeatedly sent the good hands in the Tongtian Sect to take the lead in attacking the city, although we can still defend it for the time being, but the soldiers who defend the city have suffered a lot of casualties, and they are all quite tired. ”

"I've almost all the good guys I can send to support me, but the situation is still grim. You know the Dao, the number of martial arts masters in the Tongtian Sect is large, and although we are almost the same in terms of the strength of the legion, when it comes to the number of martial arts masters, our Xiahou family is quite inferior. ”

"Brother Bai, I specially came to visit today, just hoping that you can lend a helping hand in time and lend me a group of disciples to solve the urgent needs ahead. Please!"

Saying that, Xiahou Yuan bowed deeply to Bai Wuya.

Bai Wuya and Xiahou Yuan have known each other for many years, and they have never seen Xiahou Yuan so haggard, so he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Brother Xiahou, everyone is in the northern lineage, since Li Yuan is not relenting this time, our Shura Mansion naturally can't stand idly by." ”

"That's good, I'll let Qingyun select a group of disciples to go to Yanzhao Pass later, I hope it can help Xiahou Feiyang to defend Yanzhao Pass. ”

Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed, he couldn't imagine that Bai Wuya was so easy to talk today, and immediately thanked him again and again.
