Chapter 239: Northern Zhao Recovers the Kingdom

"This road, straight from the belly of the mountain...... There are eighteen forks in it, and only one leads to the mountains in Guò...... After passing through, it is the border of the Southern Chu Kingdom. ”

Listening to Guan Yun's words, Fang Rui nodded, bypassing from the Southern Chu State, although the distance is farther, but it is nothing at Fang Rui's feet, the key is that the Southern Chu State is the last country to be defeated by Western Qin, although there are many garrisons inside, it is relatively chaotic, unlike Western Wei, Northern Zhao and Northern Yan, which have been occupied by Southern Chu for two or three years, it can already be regarded as well-organized, and it will be more difficult to exploit loopholes.

At least the information that Fang Rui knew, the teleportation arrays and forbidden air magic arrays of Western Wei, Northern Zhao and Northern Yan were almost complete, and it was difficult for outsiders to get in, especially on the way from the direction of Eastern Qi Kingdom, which was even more heavily defended.

When Western Qin fights, he likes to be surprising, so he naturally guards his rear more closely.

Then it will be much more convenient to pass from the Southern Chu side, and from the Southern Chu side, through the Western Wei Dynasty, and then to the Northern Zhao, the vigilance of the other party will be relatively worse.

After drawing a map for Fang Rui, Guan Yun hurriedly entered the Qingxu Cave Heaven, and after passing here, he would go to Nanchu, which meant that he might encounter enemies at any time, Guan Yun didn't want to become a burden to Fang Rui.

When Guan Yun returned to the Qingxu Cave Heaven, the Eastern Qi monks in the Qingxu Cave Heaven knew that now was the time for real difficulties.

In the following time, Fang Rui had to cross the long border alone, from Eastern Qi to Southern Chu, from Southern Chu to Western Wei, and then from Western Wei to Northern Zhao, until this time, it was when they came into play.

During this period, they could only wait here, cultivating, and praying that Fang Rui would not be discovered.

With the strength of Western Qin, it can be done with only tea kung fu in the territory controlled by himself, and when the time comes, whether it is the Western Qin army in front of him, he knows that thirty percent of the masters of Eastern Qi have left, and directly wave the army to attack Eastern Qi, or send a few Jiupin masters back to entangle Fang Rui, the defeat of Eastern Qi has become a foregone conclusion.

At this time, Ji Renfeng was completely calm, he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, a large amount of heaven and earth vitality poured into his body, he gradually analyzed the characteristics of heaven and earth vitality, and tried to make himself and heaven and earth one.

Listening to the rain and Ji Shaowei glanced at each other, they saw relief in each other's eyes.

Ji Renfeng's breakthrough to the free period is not only as simple as increasing a combat power, but also laying a solid foundation for the next development of Dongqi!

Fang Rui had already crossed the mountain range at the junction of Eastern Qi and Southern Chu at this moment.

Although it is claimed that there are eighteen forks in the road, with Guan Yun pointing out the road, Fang Ruitong guò is also very easy.

In the chat with Guan Yun, Fang Rui also knew why Guan Yun knew the path here.

To put it bluntly, it actually has something to do with himself, it turned out that he was first cultivated by demons with himself, and then chased and killed by the elders of the Huang family, Guan Yun felt that he was unlucky, so he left the Yunwu Mountain Range, which he was used to robbing, and came to the mountain range at the junction with Southern Chu......

After arriving here, Guan Yun was like a fish in water, and he robbed some loose cultivators or young family children with good oil and water, not only from Eastern Qi, but also from Southern Chu.

With the help of the technique of concealment, Guan Yun would run here and there at the border, and he had a very nourishing life.

It's a pity that after the start of the national war, Guan Yun was not so nourished, no matter how bold he was, he didn't dare to rob under the control of the military, so he could only run back inland, and met the rebels of the Hong family and the Qiao family, so he could only stay in a village, and then entered the Qingxu Cave Heaven together......

Thinking of Guan Yun's experience during this time, Fang Rui felt funny - this thief also had a bit of a fate with him, and now he has joined the Fang family, and he can be regarded as his own person.

After coming out of the mountain range, Fang Rui looked around, quickly turned into a light, and at the same time used the concealment technique to hide his breath, and flew quickly in the direction of Western Wei.

The Western Wei Dynasty used to be a big country, in the land of four wars, but unfortunately, when the national war just started, they were fighting with Northern Zhao, so that they were attacked by Wang Qian's army and were defeated.

The capital of the Western Wei Dynasty is also a good place for soldiers, but it is a pity that there is no representative of the power of the Western Wei Dynasty by his side, otherwise it is not bad to occupy the girder.

After coming to the realm of the Western Wei Kingdom, Fang Rui could no longer fly, and the forbidden air magic array that could be seen everywhere in the air was very troublesome even for him.

And the teleportation array, which was guarded by the heavy troops of Western Qin, could not take advantage of this to advance, Fang Rui could only fall to the ground, go to the wilderness, and march towards Beizhao.

Fortunately, when he was repairing the space before, Fang Rui had also done his homework, and the routes of the Eastern Continent had all been memorized by him, bypassing the important routes, and he would not be discovered by the Western Qin army.

It only took half a day for Fang Rui to fly from Southern Chu to Western Wei, but it took Fang Rui two full days to pass through Western Wei - after all, there is still a huge difference between running around in a circle and flying in a straight line......

Fang Rui was also a little anxious in his heart, after all, now that the high-end forces of the Eastern Qi were all within the Qingxu Cave Heaven, the power to guard the land of the Eastern Qi had been weakened a lot, if it was discovered by the Western Qin army, and he would take Linzi with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, then it would be too late for him.

Thirty percent of the high-end power is missing, it's okay to hide it for a while, and after a long time, it will definitely be discovered by the other party, after all, the high-end forces of the two sides have always been fighting, and if there are a few important people missing, it is impossible for others not to find out.

So now Fang Rui is racing against time.

He can't run without any worries, he must avoid the opponent's army, and then suddenly lead a large army to appear outside Handan City, quickly take Handan, erect the banner of Northern Zhao, close the rout that Northern Zhao can still fight, and expand the scale of his territory.

In this way, it was useless for the Western Qin army to take Linzi - because they had to occupy five royal cities in order to unify the Eastern Continent.

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Fang Rui had such a thought in his mind.

Finally, five days after leaving the Eastern Qi camp, Fang Rui arrived in Handan, the royal city of Northern Zhao!

Of course, it is Handan, the former northern Zhao royal city.

Handan City, as the royal city of Northern Zhao, is also a majestic city, the scale is not under Linzi, but Northern Zhao is not good at guarding, so this is in the iron cavalry army in the white plan, was besieged on the battlefield, and then the empty royal city was taken lightly.

Now, Fang Rui appeared outside Handan City.

The guards of Handan City are the children of the Li family among the eight major families of Western Qin.

As a royal city, the Western Qin naturally knew the significance of this capital, and there was information that the remnants of the Northern Zhao soldiers had joined the Eastern Qi army, and they already knew it, otherwise they would not have set a trap, and almost made Zhao Wushuang's people dumplings, and there were 50,000 troops stationed here, led by a six-grade cultivator of the Li family, who was responsible for sending the resources sent from the rear, and the continuous transmission array to the front line.

Zhao Wushuang looked at Handan from a distance, with mixed feelings in his heart.

This is her royal city.

As one of the outstanding children of the Zhao family, his feelings for Handan are naturally not comparable to ordinary people.

"There are 50,000 defenders in Handan, although they are all reserves, there are only hundreds of monks in the Immortal Stage, and the others are all monks in the Great Dao Period, but we can't underestimate them...... It is necessary to defeat them in the shortest possible time, regain the royal city, and then put up a banner to recruit those Northern Zhao soldiers who can still participate in the war, and take advantage of the fact that the Western Qin army did not react, to recover a large amount of lost territory, so as to be able to complete the strategic goal. Ji Renfeng said.

Zhao Wushuang nodded, and then pointed on a map.

"Handan is surrounded by six cities, we need to occupy them all, take Handan first, and then divide the troops to take these six cities, especially Changping and Shangdang, these two places are dangerous places, my Northern Zhao army, is besieged between Changping and Shangdang, after the fall of Wangcheng, many people are scattered around there, as long as we play the banner, they will definitely come to vote. Zhao Wushuang said affirmatively.

"In this way, we will first take Handan with the momentum of thunder, capture all the defenders here, and then divide our troops to take the other six cities. ”

Fang Rui nodded.

The war between the monks was more about strategy, but there was nothing to discuss in terms of tactics.

The strong ones are the strong, and the weak ones, no matter how subtle the tactics are, are useless.

Therefore, when the Handan garrison saw the sudden appearance of the army from all sides of the city, he only had time to do one thing - that is, to close the city gates......

But does it work? No.

Ji Renfeng divided the 100,000 guards into 60,000 people, divided into two parts, one led by Ji Ning and the other led by Ji Hua, and attacked the south gate and the west gate respectively.

Ji Qingfeng led the children of the Fang family, as well as Yan Hui's assassins, to attack the North Gate.

Zhao Wushuang led the 30,000 iron cavalry under her command to attack the east gate!

In one attack, the city of Handan was broken.

It's not that Handan's defensive strength is too weak, but that the strength of the two sides is not equal -- among the 50,000 defenders, there are only a few hundred monks in the immortal period, and the others are all monks in the Great Dao period, and the commander is no more than a six-rank cultivator, but what about the opponent? Looking at the more than ten monks in the free period floating in the air, the defenders almost lost the courage to resist......

If it was the regular army of Western Qin, it would not be like this, even if they were at a disadvantage, they would fight to the end, but this army was just a domestic reserve army, and in terms of the will to fight, it was too far behind......

On the one hand, the strength is superior, but it is unexpected, and on the other hand, the strength is at an absolute disadvantage, or caught off guard, and the consequences can be imagined.

An hour later, Zhao Wushuang stepped into the center of Handan.

Of the 50,000 Western Qin defenders, not a single one escaped—all of them were captured, and by the time they were captured, they had already lost the right to continue fighting, and they could not even exchange information with others.

"If the army is wiped out here, then our next actions will be advantageous, and we will also ask Princess Wushuang to lead the headquarters to take the two cities of Changping and Shangdang, and we will be responsible for taking the remaining four cities. Ji Renfeng said to Zhao Wushuang.

Zhao Wushuang also knew that now was not the time to be sad, so he nodded immediately, gathered his subordinate iron horses, and roared away.

The largest military force in this vicinity is the defenders of Handan, and the other cities have no more than 10,000 defenders, and under the attack of Zhao Wushuang, it is very simple to take it.

Within two days, Handan and the six surrounding cities all fell, and Zhao Wushuang even raised the banner of Zhao and announced the success of Northern Zhao's restoration!

This news was quickly spread to the entire territory of Northern Zhao.

Near Changping, a mighty-looking man who was drinking stuffy wine kicked over the table in front of him after hearing the news.

"Sons, pass on my Li Mu's order, assemble, let's go to Changping to see the princess!"

With Li Mu's roar, countless loud roars sounded in the villages around.
