Chapter 144: Preparation

(Strive for the end of this month, so this month may also be the last time the book of the Great Barbarian God will compete for the monthly ticket list, I hope the brothers will support it...... )

For thirty or fifty years, the demon barbarian army has been assembling in the Tiehe Gorge in the north of the Cangmang Mountain Range, whether it is Longya Mountain, Shouyang Mountain, Xuliu Mountain, or Jiyang, Yuyang, and Yanyun, they are all preparing for war according to the established steps.

It's just that according to the previous Zhou, Jimo, and Yang clans' different degrees of mastery of the places they ruled, the efficiency of war preparation and mobilization was high and low.

The Zhou and Yang clans have been actively promoting the establishment of a unified defensive army system in Yanyun and Jiyang counties.

Although the Zhou clan and the Yang clan had long had the ambition of establishing an imperial dynasty and ruling a county, they also organized the human forces of Yanyun and Jiyang counties extremely effectively and quickly.

After the threat from the demon barbarians in the north became increasingly serious, the Wenmo Academy Palace and Qi Tianshan soon officially recruited elite disciples from all the clans and clans, and established the Yanyun Army and Jiyang Army under the personal command of Zhou Zhuyuan, the Yanyun Divine Marquis, and the Jiyang Divine Marquis.

In addition to the necessary defensive forces retained by the clans, the mountain sect leaders of the clans, and the core state capitals, on the eve of the Battle of Tiehe Gorge, there were more than 60 Brahma Realm immortals gathered in Yandu City and directly under the jurisdiction of Yanyun Divine Marquis, and the elite Xuan Xiu generals of the Nirvana Realm reached a terrifying number of more than 20,000.

Although the Jiyang Army is inferior to the Yanyun Army, it is not much different - the territory of Yuyang County is much more chaotic, that is, the Qitian Island controlled by the Mo Clan, although the Yuyang Army is also formed according to Yanyun and Jiyang, but in fact, it is still dominated by the disciples of the Jimo Clan and Qitian Island, and there are a total of twenty-one Brahma Realm immortal talents who can be called, but this is a poisonous sting lurking in the shadows and threatening the flank of Longya Mountain.

The demon barbarian army threatens the four counties in the north of the Xia Clan, and the Xia Clan Divine Court also dispatched a team of soldiers and horses to enter the Lanyuan County in a decent manner, intending to block the demon barbarian army from crossing the Cangmang Mountain Range.

And because the Taihuan Realm has long entered the era of the feudal domains and the hegemony of the heroes, even if the Xia Divine Court is still nominally the co-owner of the strong feudal domains of the Xia Clan, its control over the counties is weaker than that of the Yi Divine Court controlled by Gu Zhihua, and the combat power and resources that can be mobilized are really limited.

On the eve of the Battle of Tiehe Gorge, the reinforcements of the Xia Divine Court stationed at the southwest foot of the Cangmang Mountain Range were composed of elite disciples of the Mi clan and other clans who were loyal to the Xia Divine Court, and were led by the seven immortal monarchs and divine generals such as Yangshan Immortal Mi Wei, who had cultivated at the peak of the Brahma Realm, and the elite generals of the Nirvana Realm were less than 800 people.

Mi Wei's cultivation is in the late stage of the Brahma Realm, and the other six great gods are all cultivating in the early stage of the Brahma Realm, and the combat power of the department is even far inferior to the Nanshan War Department after the convergence with the Tianjun Xiong Clan, but this is already one of the few elite combat forces that the Xia Clan's Divine Court can mobilize.

The Yi Divine Court is better, but it won't be much better.

This is also the fundamental reason why Chen Xun and Zhou Zhuyuan judged that Gu Zhihua wanted to use the power of the Yi Divine Court to attack them, and the efficiency would never be fast;

In any case, the Xia Divine Court is still the co-lord of the Yuanlan Prefectures, and Mi Wei led his troops to stationed in the South Yuanling of the southern branch of the Cangmang Mountain Range to build Shenyuan City, and Longya Mountain was also able to provide certain resources in the name of paying tribute.

In the territory of Yuanshan, the clan leaders of Yanyun and Jiyang counties are extremely clear in their hearts about how significant it is to control the war in the territory of Yuanshan, and even block the demon barbarian army north of the Cangmang Mountain Range, so that the war will not affect Yanyun and Jiyang.

Therefore, the Yanyun Army and the Jiyang Army both assigned a support army and directly stationed at the southern foot of the Cangmang Mountain Range, nominally accepting the dispatch of the Xia Clan's Shenting and Mi Wei, but in fact, they formed a coalition with Ziwei Hall and Mi Wei's department to defend against the invasion of the demon barbarian army in the Cangmang Mountain Range.

The reinforcements of Yanyun County were led by more than ten Brahma realm powerhouses such as the Sancai Sword Immortal Chai Yu, the Qingying Fairy Zhou Qing, and the Cuifeng Venerable - the Venerable Cuifeng who had secretly entered Lingchi Island for sixty or seventy years had only the opportunity to officially surface at this time.

In the reinforcement army of Yanyun County, the grassroots generals are mainly elite Xuan cultivation disciples above the Yuan Dan realm, and the scale is controlled at two million.

In the eyes of the outside world, the dispatch of such an elite reinforcement with extremely strong combat power but a very small scale is mainly because when the battle in Yuanlan gets out of control, this elite can quickly retreat south - after all, two million generals can quickly retreat south with three or five superb Dao weapon-class warships.

Of course, this elite reinforcement led by the Sancai Sword Immortal, as the first batch of core main forces in Yanyun County that can mobilize to participate in the battle in Tiehe Gorge, Yanyun Shenhou not only arranged for the Sancai Sword Immortal Chai Yu and other dozens of Brahma Realm powerhouses with the strongest combat power in the Moxue Palace as generals, but also did everything possible to strengthen the combat power of this reinforcement.

The six descendants of the Yanyun Zhou clan who had to refine and subdue the Xuanxue Dao Source Pill and cultivated to enter the quasi-Brahma realm were also incorporated into this reinforcement......

The reason why the grassroots generals are mainly elite Xuan cultivator disciples above the Yuan Dan Realm and control the total number of people is to be able to transfer into the battlefield south of Tiehe Gorge as quickly as possible and spread out their combat power.

Although the reinforcements stationed in the Cangmang Mountains in Jiyang County were also led by eight Brahma Realm powerhouses, the grassroots generals were mainly middle- and low-level Tianyuan Realm and Rebirth Realm Xuan Cultivation disciples.

Although the scale of Jiyang County's reinforcements reached an extremely terrifying 40 million, the actual combat strength was still a lot worse than Yanyun County's reinforcements.

And the biggest drawback is that the reinforcements of Jiyang County can only be deployed in the protective array of the Cangmang Mountain Range.

It is extremely difficult for a mid- and low-level general of such a scale to quickly mobilize on a battlefield that is in a state of flux, and without the protection of the protective array, if he is not careful, the violent shock and impact of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force will cause heavy casualties among the middle and low-level Xuan Cultivation generals.

Of course, this was the normal reaction of the Yang clan of Jiyang County and Qi Tiangong.

Jiyang County wants to assist in the defense of the Cangmang Mountain Range, but it will not pin its main hopes on the defense line of the Cangmang Mountain Range, so the reinforcements are mainly middle- and low-level Xuan Xiu disciples who will not affect the overall situation even if they sacrifice; even if the Cangyang Mountain Range cannot be defended, Yuanluo County will fall, and the coalition army will suffer heavy casualties, it will not hurt the foundation of Jiyang County.

The Jimo clan and Qitian Island in Yuyang County did not send reinforcements, but the elite led by Jimo Chiqiu himself stationed in the Lingxing Mountain Range at the junction of Yuanshan and Yuyang County, saying that they would pay attention to the development of the war in the Cangmang Mountain Range at any time.

In Longya Mountain, the Ziwei Hall had long been following the established steps, fusing the power of the Void Mountain Wu Clan, the Shouyang Mountain Qiu Clan, and the Barbarian Clans controlled by the Hundred Flowers Palace before.

Although the Jimo Clan's Ancestor, Yuyang Shenhou, and Qi Tiantian Venerable Jimo Chiqiu are very likely to be one of the Demon Venerables of the First Demon Sect, and the Hundred Flowers Palace has been secretly controlled by the Jimo Clan and Qitian Island for a long time, this does not prevent Longya Mountain from weakening the control of the Hundred Flowers Palace, absorbing and integrating the tribal forces controlled by the Hundred Flowers Palace before.

Although in this process, there will be spies of the First Demon Sect lurking in, but Chen Xun only needs to keep the core of Lingchi Island and not infiltrate the First Demon Sect.

If the Ziwei Hall wanted to mobilize the power of the human race in the entire territory of Taihuan to resist the demons, it would be impossible to completely block the infiltration of the secret room of the First Demon Sect.

And even if the spies infiltrated by the First Demon Sect can still secretly exert influence and make trouble at this time, when the contradictions between the human and demon races are completely aroused, the three or five spies infiltrated by the First Demon Sect in Longya Mountain will not be able to become any climate.

In the end, it still depends on how strong the human race can gather on the front line of the Cangmang Mountain Range to resist the crazy killing of the First Demon Sect and the Demon Barbarians.

Based on the one million elite disciples of the Mengtian Realm, Chen Xun fused the power of the Void Mountain Wu Clan, the Shouyang Mountain Qiu Clan, and the tribes controlled by the Hundred Flowers Palace, plus a large number of elite disciples transferred to Yuanluo County by the Wenmo Academy Palace in the name of rewarding virtue and merit, and officially formed the Ziwei Palace Army as the basic defense force from Longya Mountain to the Cangmang Mountain Range.

The grassroots generals of the Ziwei Palace Army are still mainly composed of mid-level and low-level Tianyuan Realm and Rebirth Realm Xuan Cultivation disciples, which is also the most basic combat power that Xuliu Mountain, Shouyang Mountain, and Baihua Palace can provide to control many tribes, and the scale has expanded to a terrifying 60 million people.

When the Heavenly Dao Demon Army was at its peak, it was like this, and of course it could be further expanded, mainly because the Blood Sea Demon Tribulation had not spread further in the Xuanchen Seven Domains, and there was no need to continue to transfer disciples from the sects to expand the scale of the Heavenly Dao Demon Army.

The supreme commander of the Ziwei Palace Army is naturally the Ziwei Immortal Monarch, and the key core is the three immortals of Shouyang led by Xiyue, Ziyuan, and Qiu Hongxiao, and the two immortals of the Void Stream led by Wu Junmei;

In addition, the three descendants of Liang He, Zangmo and Shouyang Mountain all had to refine the Xuanxue Dao Source Pill, cultivate to advance to the quasi-Brahma realm, and become the indispensable core backbone of the Ziwei Palace army.

On the surface, in addition to the huge scale of the grassroots generals, the backbone combat power of the Ziwei Palace Army is comparable to that of the Yanyun County Reinforcements, the Jiyang Army Reinforcements, and the Xia Clan's Shenting Reinforcements Mi Weisuo, and they are also the main force in building a defensive line in the Cangmang Mountains.

At the same time as forming the Ziwei Palace Army, Chen Xun also transferred one million elite disciples of the Mengtian Realm to the Seven Peaks Spirit Mountain, which had never been hidden in the space of the Lotus Book Cave Mansion, under the pretext of exchanging cultivation with the Yanyun Sects, and officially incorporated them into the Blackshirt Army.

In Chen Xun's plan, he and Yanyun Shenhou led the Blackshirt Army and Yanyun County reinforcements as the main force to raid the Tiehe Gorge where the demon barbarian army was assembled.

It is not enough to capture the Iron River Gorge, or to defeat the demonic army that has assembled in the Iron River Gorge.

Crossing the Cangmang Mountain Range, a spatial distance of nearly hundreds of millions of miles to the north, it is only to the Tiehe Gorge, and the environment is extremely harsh.

After being defeated, hundreds of millions of demonic armies still have the ability to quickly flee in all directions in such a harsh and extreme environment, and even if Chen Xun transfers the Ziweidian army to Tiehe Gorge at that time, or the reinforcements of Jiyang County and Mi Wei's troops are willing to cooperate with entering Tiehe Gorge to fight, they do not have enough soldiers and horses to chase down the demons who quickly flee in all directions.

Just defeating the demon barbarian army can't fundamentally reverse the situation, the First Demon Sect and the Demon God Army can quickly regroup these demon barbarian routs.

And when the strength of the Blackshirts is completely exposed, the next wave of offensive organization of the Demon Barbarian Army will be more adequate.

The strength controlled by the First Demon Sect and the Demon God Temple is still far stronger than that of the Blackshirts.

The fundamental purpose of Chen Xun's raid on Tiehe Gorge was to completely annihilate the demon barbarian army along the way, not only to weaken the demon race as much as possible, but also to use the captured monster wreckage to refine a large number of magic weapon Xuan soldiers, which greatly enhanced the resistance of the human race.

If you can't completely or most of the demonic army in the Iron River Gorge, it makes no sense to expose your strength in advance.

The Ziwei Palace Army, the Blackshirt Army, the Jiyang County Reinforcements, and the Yanyun County Reinforcements are limited, that is, the Yuyang Army controlled by the Mo clan may still be holding back, and if they want to completely annihilate the Demon Barbarian Army in the Tiehe Gorge, Chen Xun pinned his hopes on the scattered cultivators who were attracted by the Demon Punishment Merit Order and gathered in large numbers on the front line of the Cangmang Mountain Range, as well as the sects and clan disciples in other states and counties......

These scattered cultivators, sects, and clan disciples did not have a unified organization, even if there were hundreds of exiled sects that established the Shanmen Ancestral Court in Yuanlan County, they only symbolically sent a small number of disciples to join the Ziwei Palace Army, and the others mainly maintained a state of being able to pull out their legs at any time.

Attracted by the Demon Punishment Merit Order, the number of loose cultivators who entered Yuanlan County was extremely large, and their cultivation was also good, and there were hundreds of thousands of elite Xuan cultivators in the Nirvana Realm, exceeding the sum of the elite Xuan Xiu in the four counties of Yanyun, Yuyang, Jiyang, and Yuanluo, and there was no shortage of Brahma Realm powerhouses who went north to find opportunities.

They entered the Cangmang Mountain Range, after all, they wanted to hunt monsters from the Ziwei Hall in exchange for the magic weapon of Xuanbing and the elixir of the elixir, and without a little foundation, it was completely inadequate.

It's just that these people can only fight with the wind.

This is also the key to Chen Xun's resolute fight and attack the Tiehe Gorge.

Chen Xun couldn't count on these people to attack the city, nor could he directly integrate them into the Ziwei Palace Army to resist the impact of the demonic army.

If you really want to form a brutal tug-of-war on the front line of the Cangmang Mountain Range and Longya Mountain, and form a confrontation between the human and demon races, these people are likely to retreat south as soon as possible, but when the demonic army in Tiehe Gorge collapses and collapses in all directions, these people will be able to play the role of fighting a good battle to achieve the goal of completely annihilating the demon barbarian army in Tiehe Gorge.
