Chapter 40 The Emperor of the Emperor
Nandu.
As a vassal state of E Chongyu, the city walls here are not strong, because the strategic focus of the south is all on the border passes.
Moreover, the distance between the southern capital and the song of the south is only five days to ride the golden-eyed beast, unlike the emperor who is as far away as the north, and he has to let Chonghou Hu obey the orders of the song at any time to prevent him from thinking crookedly.
It is the golden autumn, the five grains are abundant, and the fruits are abundant, which is the time when the remnants of the wild Jiuli have always been knocked.
But unlike in the past, this time they managed to storm the southern hinterland.
Even now it is less than fifty miles from the southern capital.
With the southern capital as the boundary, to the south, all living creatures were reduced to the rations of the barbarians.
To the north, the three-way army led by Deng Jiugong had already entered the southern capital.
"It's still a step too late."
In Nanbohou Mansion, Deng Jiugong was worried.
After receiving the order, he immediately ordered troops to go out, as the general army of the important pass Sanshan Pass, he had 150,000 troops under his command, leaving 20,000 to guard the pass, and 120,000 troops went south day and night to reinforce.
But it was still late.
The city of Yuzhou has been captured, and according to those who have escaped, the barbarians have eaten it clean.
Even Nanbohou E Chongyu, who retreated from the border pass to Yuzhou, is no longer known for his life and death.
At this moment, he and Xuzhou Hou Huo Zhongyan, as well as Chonghou Hu's younger brother Chongheihu, were in the martial arts arena of Beihou Mansion and were worried.
"Humph! I usually offer it like an ancestor, but now it's all gone! β
The burly Huo Zhongyan looked at the empty martial arts arena, his eyes were angry, and he couldn't help but slap the table.
They wanted to summon a death squad of cultivators to deal with the barbarians' siege beasts.
But those cultivators who accompanied the army promised to be good yesterday, and today they all ran away.
Chonghei Tiger on the side pretended not to hear it, because he was also a cultivator.
How can you easily take risks?
The barbarians invaded, and brought thousands of strange beasts, and the iron-beaked eagle in his treasure gourd pecked one to death, and then what?
Huo Zhongyan saw that he was pretending to be stupid, sneered in his heart, and continued to point at Sang and scold Huai:
"The food king's Lu bears the king's worries, these bastards, they don't dare to assassinate the barbarian leader for fear of karmic debts, and they don't even dare to kill beasts at critical times, isn't it even better than beasts?"
He poured a cup of tea for Chongheihu and said:
"Black Tiger, am I right?"
"You!"
Chongheihu's eyes widened, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill the bastard in front of him with a knife.
"That's enough," Deng Jiugong got up, stood up with his knife on his shoulder, and said: "Nandu can't be lost, even if you fill it with your life, you can't let the barbarians get one step closer to Chaoge." β
He said expressionlessly:
"Dazhu is still in the north, and the king is leading Wangji's soldiers and horses to help, and the two marquis should not have infighting at this juncture."
Huo Zhongyan had no choice but to snort coldly, picked up the tea poured for Chongheihu and drank it in one gulp, and was silent.
Although Deng Jiugong's official position is only a general soldier, the real power in his hands is much heavier than theirs.
And who doesn't know, Da Zhu personally said that when Deng Jiugong's daughter grows up, she can go directly to the ancestral temple to lead a team of horsemen and serve as a guard for Da Zhu.
So Deng Jiugong's status has also risen because of this sentence, who would dare to preface his identity?
He looked at the two of them and continued:
"The city can't be defended, the army must drive out of the city to take the initiative to attack, and the besieging beasts must not be allowed to rush up."
Chonghei Tiger frowned and said:
"What's the difference between that and death?"
Huo Zhongyan on the side nodded and said:
"Yuzhou has fallen, we are already slow, if we lose the southern capital before the king comes, a few heads are not enough to cut off, I am in favor of taking the initiative."
Deng Jiugong snorted, turned around and left, leaving a sentence:
"I'll come on the front, and the two Hou Ye are in charge of the flanks."
β¦
Sunset.
Yi Yan rode a vicious iron-eating beast, overlooking the southern capital city on the hillside, and when he saw the Yin Shang army that drove out of the city, his expression was a little excited:
"Take here, and the south will be ours."
The old Yiyun stood beside him with his body bent, frowning and said:
"Xiaoqi is not here, and Ziyao hasn't come yet?"
Yi Yan said with a relaxed face:
"Dabu don't worry, he won't come, let's go to Chaoge to find him."
Yiyun pondered for a long time, shook his head and said:
"After capturing the southern capital, stop in the north."
"Why?"
Yi Yan wondered.
Yiyun said unhurriedly:
"Digest the fruits of the war in the south first, all the food we eat along the way is live, so much grain has not been harvested yet, we must make the south our big rear, with a real supply line, we can compete with Ziyao."
"Listen to Dabu."
Yi Yan said this, but in his heart, he felt that Da Bu was too high to think of Yin Shang Dazhu, with a strange beast, what would Yin Shang fight?
At this time, shouts of killing broke out outside the southern capital, and the Yin Shang army actually took the initiative to rush over.
When Yiyun saw this scene, there was no sadness or joy on his face, and he said softly:
"Do you want to delay time with your life......
Yi Yan clasped his hands and smiled:
"I can't help myself."
Yiyun's eyes reflected the enemy soldiers who were killing like dark clouds, and he waved the short staff in his hand.
"Roarβ"
The strange beast that covered the sky and the sun rushed out from behind the two of them, and a fishy wind suddenly blew between the heavens and the earth.
With a deafening roar, a unicorn beast rushed out of the woods with its mountain-like body, its huge body was a shell harder than gold and stone, and it rushed up to destroy the mountains and trees, unstoppable.
The earth trembled violently, and the movement caused by tens of thousands of alien beasts was far greater than that of the Yin Shang army, and they were trampled into ruins in an instant for several miles.
The flying beasts in the sky also let out a piercing scream, and their vertical eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.
Faced with this scene, the Yin Shang soldiers couldn't help but feel desperate, and the blindfolded war horses under their crotch seemed to feel something, and slowed down uneasily.
Can this be stopped......
They saw the arrows fired by the heavy crossbow falling on the beast and being bounced off, and the boulders thrown in the city were smashed by the beast with its horns, and a sense of powerlessness filled their hearts.
Suddenly!
Five-colored divine light fell from the sky!
In the blink of an eye, the light enveloped everything, and thousands of miles fell into the five-colored enchantment.
The soldiers did not know what was happening and panicked.
At this time, someone looked up and saw an ethereal figure.
Wearing a pure white Nine Heavens Xuanbird robe, holding a bronze staff, his long hair was flying, fluttering like a god.
"I am, Emperor Zhongtian Hung Huo Qing."
Kong Xuan's voice echoed in the enchantment, lingering for a long time.
"What-kun?"
"I don't know."
"It can't be a youkai, right?"
Since Kong Xuan had only performed a few miracles in Chaoge, the soldiers below looked at each other, obviously not knowing him.
Kong Xuan's smile froze for a moment, and then said:
"I am ordered by the ancestors of the Great Shang to go down to the earth to eliminate the strange beasts."
With that, he waved his staff in a pretentious manner.
I saw that the five-colored divine light engulfed all the living creatures in the enchantment like a wave, and Kong Xuan marked all the strange beasts in a single breath.
The next moment, the barrier disappeared, and the Yin Shang army appeared intact in the outside world.
The beasts were wrapped in five-colored divine light and turned into countless brilliant balls of light floating in the air.
Deng Jiugong's pupils shook, stared at the white-clothed figure, and muttered:
"Tenjin ......"
Kong Xuan snapped his fingers.
As a result, all the balls of light shattered, and the alien beasts inside were ground into blood and mud without any resistance.
There was a rain of blood in the sky.
The danger of the alien beast is lifted.
