Time flies, the smoke clouds in the blood-red abyss have also dissipated a lot, the molten slurry turns into rocks, and the temperature on the surface gradually returns to normal temperature, only the fiery red holes on the rock layer with smoke rising make people remember that this is the blood-red abyss, the abyss that destroyed the entire Bailing City, and how many stories have happened in this blood-red abyss, but there are many legends.

Some people say that the blood-red abyss buried the imperial empress Qin Yin, as well as the county lord Tang Xiaoxi.

Some people also said that Qin Yin did not die, but flew to the heavenly realm, at least Feng Jixing, Qin Yan and others are the wording, otherwise, once the news of Qin Yin's death spreads, the world will definitely be in chaos.

But some people also say that there is a peerless powerhouse in the blood-red abyss, a young powerhouse who changed the history of the entire continent, his name is Lin Muyu, but no one has found where Lin Muyu is, the only thing that can be found is the center of the blood-red abyss, a rocky mountain up to 100 meters high.

Some people say that Lin Muyu has sealed himself in the rocky mountains, he is waiting, waiting for the return of his beloved.

But these seem to be just legends, and many of them are made up by good people to use as after-dinner conversations.

Surrounded by clouds of smoke and towering rocky mountains towering within the Scarlet Abyss, it was a spectacle that no one could understand why the dust in the Scarlet Abyss had accumulated and gathered into a mountain.

In the depths of the rock mountain, a young body was still kneeling there, a starry sword in his hand had lost its original luster, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed, and Lin Muyu seemed to have truly merged into a part of the mountain.

......

On July 7, 7736 in the imperial calendar, Feng Jixing besieged Sunset City with a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and captured all the granaries of dozens of counties and counties south of Sunset City, and besieged Sunset City for four months, finally, Ding Xi was defeated because of insufficient military food, and nearly half of the 300,000 defenders of Sunset City were annihilated.

In the same month, Wei Qiu commanded the Gentian Battalion to conquer Lingkong Province, Xiang Yu raised troops from Bailing City, and the imperial army recovered the Lingnan Province, Lingkong Province, and Xunbai Province of Yihe Kingdom with the momentum of whale swallowing, and included seventy percent of the land of Yihe Kingdom into the bag.

Ding Xi and Long Qianlin retreated with 200,000 troops, the empire was strong, they were powerless, retreated to Mingshan Province, and relied on the strong city of Shangyang City and the abundance of grain and grass to continue to deal with the imperial army.

......

On 12 August, the Imperial Army gathered on the plain north of Minh Son Province, with an astonishing force of 600,000 troops.

The sun was in the sky, and the army marched slowly, bypassing the continuous mountain peaks, the holy peak, the part where Luo Lan's Seven Realms Palace was located, and the clouds and mist were shrouded between the holy peaks, which was indeed like a place for immortals.

Wei Qiu looked at the direction of the Seven Realms Palace from afar, and said coldly: "Luo Lan Old Dog helped Yihe Kingdom capture Lanyan City at the beginning, and he probably didn't expect that there would be today, hum...... It's better for us to surround the Seven Realms Palace and kill Luo Lan with a million male soldiers. ”

"No need. ”

Feng Jixing waved his palm lightly and said: "Luo Lan has done all the bad things, this kind of evil god has its own harvest, we have been exhausted by the soldiers for several days, besides, the terrain of the Holy Peak is dangerous, which is not conducive to the battle of the army, but the cultivators of the Seven Realms Palace will take advantage of it, it is really unwise to attack the mountain at this time, hum...... If Luo Lan is looking for death, he will naturally come down the mountain to deal with us, otherwise, there is no need for us to provoke him. ”

"Yes. Wei Qiu nodded.

"Is there anything new in the Scarlet Abyss?" asked Feng Jixing.

"Nope. Wei Qiu said: "The rock mountain is getting thicker and thicker, and the people we sent there can no longer find the rain commander, and in the blink of an eye, a few months have passed, and the rain commander doesn't eat or drink, I really don't know how to ...... it."

Feng Jixing sighed, and slowly rode his horse and said: "Ah Yu Ji is a celestial person, I hope he is okay! Besides, Ah Yu has the divine power of Fuxi, and he should not be tortured to death by hunger, not to mention...... He was now petrified and dormant, and he didn't think ...... The first general of the dignified empire actually proclaimed himself in the blood-red abyss. ”

Wei Qiu muttered, "The depth of Commander Yu's affection for His Highness Yin is probably not something we can understand. ”

"yes......"

Feng Jixing looked at the endless army on the avenue and said in a low voice, "Where is the herald?"

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a herald said respectfully: "Marshal, what's the matter?"

"Ordered the main force of Xiang Yu's army, and began to look for water sources when he entered the territory of Mingshan Province, in addition, inform Commander Su Yu to ensure that the food supply is good, Shangyang City is extremely strong, Qin Yi old thief will definitely not give up this country so lightly, there is a protracted battle under Shangyang City, we need to be fully prepared. ”

"Yes!"

Feng Jixing looked at Wei Qiu again and asked, "How is the Demon Crystal Cannon ready?"

"The mountains are far away. Wei Qiu frowned and said: "The magic crystal cannon is so heavy, even if we disassemble it, we can't transport too much, and there are only ten magic crystal cannons in total, so we should make good use of it." ”

"Got it. ”

Feng Jixing took a deep breath: "Whether you can blast open the iron gate of Shangyang City depends on the magic crystal cannon, it depends on you, Wei Qiu, when Ah Yu is not there, the Gentian Battalion depends on you and Situ Sen." ”

"Yes, Marshal, rest assured!"

......

Shangyang City, the setting sun sprinkled the afterglow in this ancient city, the branches and leaves of the pear trees swayed in the wind, in the palace in the city, Qin Yi sat there with a dead face, and the next head, Long Qianlin, Ding Xi, Man Ning and other ministers were there, but everyone did not speak, when the battle situation reached this point, what else could be said, the entire Boxer Kingdom was almost powerless.

"Could it be...... No one can defend Shangyang City?" Qin Yi said coldly.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, no one spoke, for a while, Man Ning hugged his fists and said: "Dadutong, the old minister thinks that we still have nearly 300,000 troops, plus nearly 150,000 defenders in Mingshan Province, and the dignified army of nearly 500,000 can also fight with the empire, and the Boxer has won the hearts of the people, we can also mobilize civilians to help in the war, Feng Jixing is a benevolent general, I believe he will not do anything to the civilians." ”

"Really?" Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh.

Ding Xi said: "Most of the capital, our 300,000 troops are all tired divisions, and most of the 150,000 garrison troops in Mingshan Province are newly recruited recruits, and they don't have any combat effectiveness at all, but the imperial army is not, the 300,000 Qihai City army under the command of Feng Jixing is all elite, and the gentian battalion of Wei Qiu has also been re-established with 50,000 people, plus the elite soldiers of Xiang Yu, Su Yu, Luo Xin and others, their 600,000 troops are all elite, if we take the initiative to fight, we will be defeated!"

Qin Yi's heart was cold: "Then what should we do? Long Shuai, what do you think? If we stick to it, can we hold Shangyang City?"

"I'm afraid, it's hard to ......"

Long Qianlin got up and hugged his fists and said: "Most of the capitals can imagine how strong the steel parapet wall is, the city wall dozens of meters thick was forced to be blasted open by the magic crystal cannon of the gentian battalion, how strong can the wall of Shangyang City be, I'm afraid ...... It's just as vulnerable, and if you stick to it, it will inevitably become a pile of residues under the magic crystal cannon. ”

Qin Yi was stunned: "Then what does Long Shuai think?"

"Outwitt. ”

"How's it to outwit?"

Long Qianlin smiled slightly: "Do you still remember how Lin Muyu wiped out the Lei Chong Legion in the Demon Slayer Valley?"

"Artillery array?"

"That's right. ”

Long Qianlin said: "According to my speculation, the shells of the magic crystal cannon can be detonated from each other, about a few tens of meters apart, the explosion of a magic crystal cannon will trigger a series of magic crystal cannon explosions, in this way, as long as we find an opportunity to infiltrate the Gentian camp and use one of the magic crystal cannons to bombard their shell storage camp, we can destroy the Gentian camp's magic crystal cannon in one fell swoop." ”

Saying that, Long Qianlin said with a smile: "We need time to delay, the imperial army has just arrived in Lingnan for a few months, and the grain and grass reserves are insufficient, and Lingnan Province and Xunbai Province have just experienced war, this year's harvest is not good, and they can't produce too much military food at all, how much grain does the empire's 600,000 army have to eat every day?" Most of their grain has to be transported from Lingbei, as long as we delay for about two months, we will naturally be able to drag it until the wind is exhausted, and at that time, a paper feather book orders the 100,000 horses of His Royal Highness Qin Huan to attack, and it is not difficult to break the 600,000 army of the empire. ”

"This ......" Qin Yi was overjoyed and said: "Yihe has a dragon handsome, it is really a godsend for me!...... According to what Long Shuai said, how should we destroy the magic crystal cannon of the Miè Gentian Battalion?"

Long Qianlin said: "I remember...... Sunset Hou Manning has a distant nephew who is a thousand commanders in the Gentian Camp, if we bribe him with a lot of money and power, he should be shaken, after all, in the Gentian Camp he is just a small commander, we promised him the power of one of the seven commanders of the empire, I believe he can't refuse at all, but it will be hard for Sunset Hou to take a risk. ”

Qin Yi looked at Man Ning and said, "Sunset Hou, what do you think?"

Man Ning's fat trembled, stood up, clenched his fists, and said, "It is my honor that the old minister's dying body can serve the Righteous and Righteous Country. ”

Qin Yi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, if this thing is done, the Sunset Marquis will no longer be the Sunset Marquis, and I will crown you as the Sunset King!"

Man Ning couldn't help but be ecstatic: "Yes, thank you Dadutong, the old minister will definitely go all out!"

"Go ahead!"

"Yes!"

With the support of the two guards, Man Ning's bloated and fat body walked step by step outside the palace, and soon after, Man Ning pretended to be a merchant and slowly left Shangyang City in a carriage, heading straight for the camp of the imperial army in the distance.

......

The sunset illuminates the earth as if it is plated with a layer of blood, the last battle between the empire and the Boxers, whoever can win, who is the last master of this land, both sides will spare no effort, and they will inevitably fight to the death!
