Chapter 157: Smoke rises in front of Tianxia Pass
Chang'e was not in the room, Hou Yi walked around the carriage, only to find a letter left by Chang'e, Dao Ming.
It turned out that Chang'e went to the rear of Tianxuan City to comfort the injured soldiers, and helped Hua Yanru, who brought back the medicine, and the flower fairies to treat the seriously injured soldiers.
Chang'e was not there, so Hou Yi simply lay on the soft couch in the carriage, chewing every word the Demon Emperor said repeatedly, trying to find out some extraneous meanings from it, and guessing the Demon Emperor's next intention.
The armies of the two worlds of heaven and demon are approaching, if they can't figure out the meaning of the demon emperor, it is very likely that the side of the heavenly realm will change from active to passive. In that case, the Heavenly Realm army was very likely to be in danger, and Hou Yi had to think about the safety of the army.
It seems that the Demon Emperor does not take the gains and losses of one city and two cities in his eyes, he is interested in the main army of the Heavenly Realm, if Hou Yi's army is defeated or suppressed by the Demon Emperor, the left and right armies of the Heavenly Realm will also be in a passive situation, and the situation on the battlefield will be completely rewritten.
After thinking about it, Hou Yi still felt that he had to test again, as long as the Demon Emperor's army did not sweep and attack, Hou Yi would have a chance. It only takes half a day, half a day to change all this situation, and then force the demon army to accept peace talks.
Now that he has figured it out, Hou Yi is too lazy to think about it anymore, trying to be sad, it is better to take a nap. So Hou Yi hugged the quilt and fell asleep by himself, at least he didn't have to worry about being robbed of the quilt by Chang'e in the middle of the night, and Hou Yi slept steadily.
Just when Hou Yi was sleeping, the left and right armies also encountered different battle situations today.
Xiao Yue's Left Route Army has not had any outstanding results until now, and first sacrificed 100,000 soldiers in a decisive battle with Lin Aofan's army. Then, as both sides were recuperating and recuperating, there was no fighting for several days.
Even if Lin Aofan can be regarded as leading the army away. The replaced demon general Jin Zichuan refused to go out of the city to fight, blindly defended without fighting, and made full use of the advantages of the city's defense to delay Xiao Yuejun's next big move.
Xiao Yue didn't dare to press in again, for fear of losing more than 100,000 heavenly soldiers and being scolded to death by Hou Yi.
Xuanyuan Shadow led the army to try to sneak attack and provoke several times, but none of the demon army responded. Even if Xuanyuan Shadow could lead a team of shadow troops to touch the Demon Spring Pass Tower, it would have no practical effect, because the Demon Spring Pass was also densely packed with hundreds of thousands of troops, and the small elite could not play a role at all.
There are still three city defense enchantments in front of the Demon Spring Pass, and the city defense enchantments will block the millions of troops of Xiao Yue's left army, unless you attack it. Otherwise, there is no other way.
Challenge. No one responded, siege the city, people defended, sneak attack, people counterattacked, water attack, fire attack, earth attack, disturbance attack, magic circle, Xiao Yue tried. But none of them worked. No way. Xiao Yue could only lead the army to contain the forces of the Demon Spring Pass. There was no result at all.
On the thirteenth day of the Heavenly Demon War, the front line of the Demon Spring Pass launched a small-scale tentative counterattack against Xiao Yue's left army, and Xiao Yue led his troops to fight back. It was another bloody battle between the two sides.
Xiao Yue learned the lesson of losing 100,000 troops last time, and the deployment of the military strength under his command was very reasonable, the combat power of the generals was brought into full play, and the tactics and tactics were used just right. Not only did the demon army not get the slightest advantage, but also lost several battalions of vanguard due to impatience.
Just when Xiao Yue was a little proud of this victory, extremely unfavorable news came from the Demon Spring Pass.
The latest intelligence from the Shadow Army shows that the Dark Lord has led an army of 500,000 to support the Demon Spring Pass. Xiao Yue had the support of the four ace legions of the God Realm in his hands, and Xiao Yue secretly thought that this time he could have a good fight.
But the Dark Demon King didn't eat Xiao Yue's set at all, and the whole army continued to defend it strictly, prohibiting it from going out of the city to fight, and now Xiao Yue was completely out of play.
Xiao Yue's battle reports to Hou Yi from the second day of the Heavenly Demon War were almost all the same sentence, today is calm, today the weather is fine, today is peaceful, today is a little miss for you.
Hou Yi read the same battle report from Xiao Yue, and saw that Xiao Yue was bored and unhappy, but Hou Yi did not accuse Xiao Yue of doing badly, but repeatedly rewarded Xiao Yue for doing a good job, and the officers and men of the Left Route Army were meritorious.
made Xiao Yue embarrassed, worked harder to contain the enemy army, and was willing to be a good bait. In fact, Hou Yi was afraid that Xiao Yue would be unhappy, and when he got angry, he really pulled out his million-strong army to fight, and Hou Yi would have to die of distress.
The reason why Hou Yi would send Xiao Yue as the commander of the Left Route Army was because Wu Xuanfeng wanted to stay in command of the front line, so that Hou Yi's main army would have a clear advantage.
Xuanyuan Guangming is in charge of Tianyi City, Xuanyuan Shadow and Xuanyuan Ziying are difficult to lead millions of people due to lack of qualifications, and the eight generals also have to staff the military and political to assist in the battle situation.
The top ten sword spirits are too emotional and difficult to be the main commander, and the other three queens are still suitable for doing logistics, playing assists, assisting Hou Yi and other errands, so only Xiao Yue, the Metropolitan Governor of the Heavenly Realm who has led an army of more than a million and conquered dozens of cities, is the most competent.
Since the Dark Demon King does not send troops to fight, Xiao Yue is willing to lead the army to fight against him, to see who can consume more energy than whom.
Looking at Jian Ying's right army, the Night Wolf City conquered by Jian Ying, there are several advantages that Xiao Yue does not have. The first is that the demon army does not set the Night Wolf City as a key protection object in the three levels of defense, the second is that the Night Wolf City has no demon king to defend it except for the city lord, the third is that the defenders of the Night Wolf City are belligerent by nature and give Jian Ying a chance to take advantage of, the fourth is that the forces around the Night Wolf City are not sufficient, and the fifth is that the Nine Nether Kings are too light on the enemy and believe in Huo Rui's strength too much.
Jian Ying gave full play to the characteristics of flexible combat, used the forces in his hands skillfully and appropriately, first showed weakness and defeated repeatedly, and even let his two younger brothers be captured by the demon army, and then did the opposite, so that Huo Rui was fooled without suspicion, and the battle was decided.
Jian Ying, who took the Night Wolf City, did not stop because of the small profits, but gave full play to the fine tradition of continuous combat of the Heavenly Realm army, and took advantage of the victory to win two cities in one fell swoop. Xuanyuan Jianying also used the two empty cities to set up ambushes in Stygian Leaf City and Dark Plains City to let 100,000 underworld troops plan, and then completely annihilate 100,000 underworld troops.
Jianying, the prince of the heavenly realm, really lived up to the careful cultivation of Hou Yi and Chang'e, and often brought unexpected surprises to his father and queen mother. Jianying's gentle and amiable attitude and demeanor in private also made his younger siblings doubly close.
But Xuanyuan Jianying is not a perfect prince, and Jianying's amorous affection in his private life is not inferior to his Laozi Houyi. From the above that he had feelings for the four witches, he knew that Dao Jianying's affection was not limited to the heavenly realm and the divine realm.
It must be genetic, Xuanyuan Jianying is very similar to Hou Yi in many aspects, amorous but unwilling, affectionate but not abusive, both civil and military but not unruly, handsome and chic will also be approachable. If you talk about Jianying's shortcomings, it is that he loves to play more than Hou Yi and does not like to be bound physically and mentally by government affairs and military.
As His Royal Highness the Celestial Prince, Jian Ying's daily job duties are to deal with the affairs of Tianyi City and the fiefdom. Most of the government and military affairs in the Heavenly Realm are handled by the Emperor of Heaven and the Four Heavenly Queens. Xuanyuan Guangming will also share some of the work. Therefore, Jianying, the crown prince, is much more leisurely than the Emperor of Heaven every day.
After introducing Xuanyuan Jianying, the story is back on track.
In fact, long before today's fighting generals, the Demon Emperor had ordered the Dark Demon King and the Nine Nether Kings to have independent front-line disposal rights in view of the current situation. Whether to launch an attack on Tianxia Pass. Whether to lead the army to recapture Night Wolf City. and then coerce Tianji City. It's all up to them, and they don't have to report it.
It's time for the Great Demon Realm to give Hou Yi some color, and let Hou Yi also taste the power of the million demon army in the Great Demon Realm.
After the Dark Lord and the Nine Nether Kings received the order of the Demon Emperor. Immediately, on the night of the thirteenth day of the Heavenly Demon War, they all organized an army of one million and launched a fierce attack on Tianxia Pass and Night Wolf City.
The siege battle between the Dark Lord and the million-strong army of the Nine Nether Kings immediately began.
In addition to the million-strong army that attacked in one fell swoop, the Dark Demon King also secretly sent two mobile troops to run along the border of the Demon Realm for a long time to attack the supply channel between Tianxuan City and Demon Rock City, but these two demon armies saw the military camp protection formed by Houyi's heavy troops from afar, so they returned to the Demon Spring Pass the same way.
This time, it was Xiao Yue and Jian Ying's turn to defend, and Xiao Yue and Jian Ying both relied on the city's solid defense and city defense weapons to block the attack.
Let's talk about the battle between Xiao Yue's left army and the army of the Dark Demon King.
In the face of the Dark Demon King, the million-strong army swept through the buffer wasteland for thirty miles, and went straight to Tianxia Pass.
Xiao Yue became smarter this time, and did not dare to directly lead the army to confront the Dark Demon King, but imitated Hou Yi's previous style of going deep alone, using himself as a lure, rushing into the enemy formation, and fully blossoming.
Xiao Yue personally led 10,000 elite heavenly soldiers to stand out outside the city and start a bloody battle with the besieging demon army, and all the generals under the command of the Dark Demon King saw that Xiao Yue actually fought in person, and they all regarded Xiao Yue, the fairy queen overseer, as the biggest strategic target, and then led the army to surround her, trying to capture her so that Hou Yi could retreat.
It's just that the Dark Demon King doesn't know that Xiao Yue, a beautiful woman, is not only good-looking, but also the most desperate to fight, otherwise how could she become a veritable tigress in Hou Yi's heart.
Xiao Yue's left hand silver snake scaled long whip, right hand snake tooth blade, left and right slashing, heroic posture, showing the true nature of the fairy queen of the heavenly realm.
Some demon generals who didn't know the depth of Xiao Yue's martial arts mana thought that Xiao Yue, a big beauty, was easy to bully, and roared, howled, and intimidated and went straight to Xiao Yue.
The dignified Xiao Yue Immortal Empress and the Heavenly Realm Metropolitan Governor are not even afraid of Hou Yi, how can they be afraid of you demon generals who only have a swordless initial realm and a complete heart sword.
In order to show that she is not easy to bully, Xiao Yue also showed that her military rank was exchanged for real knives and real guns, and she did not rely on her pillow relationship with Hou Yi.
I saw that Xiao Yue exuded a turquoise brilliance, and as soon as she started fighting, she performed one of the stunts of the swordless realm, "Colorful Shadow Wind", which was Xiao Yue's specialty skill with a snake tooth blade and a silver snake scaly long whip, which was extraordinary.
As soon as Zuo Gang, a dozen demon generals, came up to Xiao Yue's side, he was beaten to death and injured by the deadly strong "Colorful Shadow Wind".
Xiao Yue's appearance, the demon generals all saw that Xiao Yue's fairy queen was not easy to mess with. And the Dark Demon King also saw Xiao Yue's tactical intentions at this moment, and did not send his fierce generals to besiege Xiao Yue, but waited for the real threat to be killed in Tianxia Pass.
Sure enough, the five children of Xuanyuan Shadow, Xuanyuan Blazing Fire, Xuanyuan Star Trace, Xuanyuan Tianming, and Xuanyuan Mo saw that Xiao Yue was surrounded by dozens of demon generals, and they all led their own troops to kill out of Tianxia Pass and move closer to Xiao Yue's besieged core.
As soon as the five pro-armies were dispatched, Cui Xingchen, Wang Tingxuan, and Lian Shengming, the three major generals, saw that Xiao Yue was in danger, so they each led 100,000 heavenly soldiers to fly out of Tianxia Pass, and the three route armies rushed straight to the first line of the demon army's battle array, and launched a fierce conflict with the front and left and right wings of the Dark Demon King.
The offensive of the army of the three generals did not save Xiao Yue's department from the millions of demon troops. The 10,000 elite soldiers under Xiao Yue's command surrounded Xiao Yue and started a life-and-death struggle with the demon army dozens of times around him.
The Dark Demon King only threw his fierce generals into it at this time, and the battle of the army under Tianxia Pass had just begun.
