When the hatred gradually calmed down, Xu Qi'an re-examined the battle, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and a chill rose in his heart.

With his logical reasoning ability, after listening to Zhang Kaitai's description, he had already reviewed this battle in his mind.

At the heart of this battle is the witch god.

With the witch god as the core, the game and war unfolded.

Aiding the demon barbarians is only a superficial reason, what Wei Yuan really wants to do is to deal with the witch god (the reason is unknown), and the first emperor and the witch god sect want to protect the witch god.

The layout of the Cult of the Witch God is as follows:

The first emperor dragged his feet behind his back, and after the army entered the enemy's territory, he cut off the grain and grass, cut off the supply of the army, consumed Wei Yuan's strength, and pushed the Dafeng soldiers into the abyss of no return.

Subsequently, two third-grade spiritual wisdom masters, one first-grade great wizard, and one second-grade cross-tribulation, made the final ending. As long as Wei Yuan's forces are weakened to a certain extent, they will inevitably attack.

And Wei Yuan's way of dealing was to slaughter the city all the way, to feed the war with war, and in the absence of food, grass and military supplies, he pushed all the way to the hinterland of the Yan country, and the troops were in the national capital.

Then, he repaired the plank road in the dark, and walked the waterway around the enemy's back.

Judging from this, Wei Yuan expected that the imperial court would drag its feet. Therefore, he was ready to fight a quick battle from the beginning, leaving no way back, no supplies, looting on the spot to fight to feed the war, and directly pushed to the base camp of the Witch God Sect.

In the final battle, Wei Yuan faced four super masters, if he was only a second-rank martial artist, it would be impossible to defeat the four of them, let alone fight with the witch god.

Wei Yuan also took this into account, he has something to rely on, and his reliance is Confucianism.

"Everyone thinks that this battle is to rush to the aid of the demons and maintain balance, who would have thought that there is a deeper purpose behind it.......... The witch god will make a plan, please enter the urn. Will Wei Gong also calculate? Summoning the Confucian saint and leveling the main altar of the Witch God Cult, the game and calculation in it? It's really numb........."

Xu Qi'an muttered to himself.

How many doubts did he still have unsolved? For example, since Wei Gong is a martial artist in the Dao realm? is a terrifying powerhouse at the non-human level, why has he been in obscurity for so many years, and announced to the public that he has not cultivated? Is it an ordinary person?

Another example? Why did the first emperor unite with the Wushen Sect to kill Wei Yuan, although a second-grade courtier is indeed so jealous that people's scalp is numb. But can you end up with a tiger?

The relationship between Wei Yuan and the empress? The first emperor only needs to pinch this handle? There are bargaining chips. And? There's a prison up there? Want to maintain overall stability? It's not difficult.

Opposite? If the soldiers and generals of their own country take the initiative to send them to the enemy's mouth, the trouble will be obviously greater.

Xu Qi'an thought of a familiar sentence: Why did Your Majesty rebel?

That's what he wondered at this time.

Finally, Wei Yuan did not hesitate to hold the consciousness of dying in battle and capture the main altar of the Wushen Sect? Why, exactly?

It turns out that I don't even have the ability to collect his body.......... Xu Qi'an felt a pain in his heart.

Thoughts ebb and flow? He took a deep breath: "Duke Wei? You've been in Taoguang?"

Zhang Kaitai said "um"? looked at the entrance of the military tent with a distracted gaze, and said slowly:

"After the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Duke Wei had a secret conversation with His Majesty? Then he abolished his cultivation. We couldn't understand it then, and we can't understand it now, I didn't expect that Wei Gong had already secretly rebuilt the martial arts, although he died in battle, but I was still very pleased,

"The crockpot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in front of the battle, and he can die on the battlefield as a strong man in the world, I have no regrets about Wei Gong. ”

Xu Qi'an asked again: "Except for Yang Yan and Jiang Luzhong, you are the only surviving golden gong, what are your plans in the future?"

"I have been a watchman, and I have been a watchman all my life. Zhang Kaitai tilted his head sideways and looked at him: "What about you?"

He was met with silence in response.

At this time, a lieutenant general rushed over, his face was anxious, and he said loudly: "Commander, the scout has come to report, Yanguo and Kangguo have gathered 80,000 horses and horses, and they will come to Yuyang Pass, and in half an hour at most, the troops will come to the city." ”

Zhang Kaitai's face changed, "Who is the leader of the army?"

The adjutant general said in a deep voice: "Yanjun, Nurhega." ”

Zhang Kaitai was stunned for a moment, fell into silence, and he commanded:

"Gather the generals of the commander and above to come over and discuss the matter, let all the soldiers go to the city wall, and let the militia immediately go to the warehouse to carry the equipment and armaments of the city guards........"

He skillfully gave instructions one after another, unhurried, but his stern look showed that this golden gong was extremely heavy inside.

In Russia, more than a dozen generals wearing armor and carrying waist swords stepped into the military tent, bowed their hands to Xu Qi'an and Zhang Kaitai, and took their seats.

Probably knowing the news that the armies of Yankang and Kang were about to enter the city, the generals had serious faces one by one, and did not greet Xu Qi'an too much.

Zhang Kaitai looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The counterattack of the two countries is coming, so it seems that the Witch God Sect is going to fight with us to the death." ”

All the generals present were experienced generals who had a keen sense of war, and after retreating to Yuyang Pass, they had done a situation analysis.

The Witch God Cult suffered heavy losses in this battle, breaking seven cities in a row, and there are too many things to deal with, in such a situation, the correct thing to do is to deploy troops and repair those breached cities while sending scouts to keep an eye on the border.

It is impossible to start a war in the short term, on the contrary, it means that the Witch God Cult will fight the Great Bong endlessly.

"We don't have enough troops......."

"The grain and grass are not enough, Chen Ying killed the dog officials in the household department, only to know that the grain and grass were not transported at all, and the dog officials in the household department deliberately concealed us. ”

"If you collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, you should be beheaded all over the house. The brothers are desperately in front, and these dog officials stab us in the back, raised by a son of a bitch. ”

Zhang Kaitai knocked on the table, corrected the topic, and said:

"What we have to do now is to hold Yuyang Pass, and then send a report to the imperial court, so that the imperial court can quickly send troops to support. But food is a problem, and the food in the warehouse cannot support the arrival of reinforcements. ”

A general muttered: "Yuzhou has been a grain production place since ancient times, and the local people will not be short of grain, so they can collect grain from them. We can't trust those dog officials now, so let's send people to collect food ourselves. ”

Zhang Kaitai frowned: "This is not in accordance with the rules, and the people may not be willing." At that time, don't fall into the infamy of tyrannical expropriation, and take the initiative to give the civil officials the handle to impeach us. ”

"They will be willing. ”

The local general said word by word: "The imperial court has forgotten the debt forty years ago, but the people of our three states will not forget it." ”

The matter of food and grass came to an end, and the generals turned to discussing the issue of troops.

One by one, they frowned.

"With the speed of the imperial court's troop transfer, can we, more than 16,000 people, hold it?"

The Witch God Cult is no better than the barbarians, the barbarians rely on corpses to pile up the siege city, and the Witch God Cult has siege equipment, a small part of which is made by itself, and some of which are secretly smuggled Dafeng equipment.

In the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the Wushen Sect learned from the pain, summed up the reasons for the defeat, and believed that Dafeng could dominate Kyushu, and heavy weapons of destruction were the most important reliance.

So he secretly colluded with Dafeng officials, embezzled armaments, and then disassembled them and learned to imitate them.......... Over the years, they have also learned to make many siege engines.

Including gunpowder.

However, the Witch God Cult does not have warlocks, and the siege equipment, artillery, and crossbows they make are all mortal, and the great worship is a magic weapon, and the lethality is not the same.

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it, the Witch God Sect is a paper tiger, this wave repel them, we win." If you can't beat them, you have to hurt them, and they will be greatly injured. Just like the Battle of Shanhaiguan, let them collapse for twenty years. ”

"It's a big deal. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Kaitai's lieutenant general glanced at his immediate boss and said in a deep voice:

"Chen Ying, this dog thing, left the camp without permission, and now there are only a handful of our four-grade masters, and it is difficult to stop them. I remember that Nurhega was the four ranks, the double four grades of the martial arts and wizard systems. ”

This sentence made the generals present frown, and the atmosphere was solemn.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

Xu Qi'an knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention, and asked, "Martial arts and wizard double cultivation? ”

To be honest, he is now well-informed, but he rarely encounters such dual-system characters.

Somewhat surprised.

Cultivation is so difficult, it's not easy to get around in one system, how can you have the extra energy to cultivate other systems?

Zhang Kaitai replied to his question: "The succession of the throne of the vassal state of the Witch God Sect is different from ours in the Central Plains. In the system of the Three Kingdoms of Yanjingkang, government affairs were handled by courtiers, and the monarch held the military power, so the monarchs of the past dynasties were all brave warriors and veterans of battlefield battles.

"And on top of the two, there are the three rank masters of the Witch God Sect who act as the national teacher. The national teacher does not care about military and political affairs, but he is the person with the most power in the country. In addition to not being able to depose the monarch, the national teacher has the right to decide and veto all affairs. The monarch is actually more like a commander who controls the military forces of a country. ”

No wonder, Yasukuni's monarch Xiahou Yushu is known as a handsome talent second only to the Duke of Wei, and I wondered, these two are both sideline hustles, and being an emperor is really a sideline...........

Xu Qi'an nodded suddenly, roughly understanding the class system of theocracy.

Zhang Kaitai continued:

"Nurhega is a contemporary Yanjun, and his overall planning ability may not be as good as Xiahou Yushu, but in terms of personal combat power, the two Xiahou Yushu are not his opponents. Nurhega is not only the pinnacle of the four products, but also the pinnacle of the four products of the dual system.

"Before we set out, we were even ready to replace him with two or three four-pins. Who wants to ........."

Who would have thought that we wouldn't even be able to attack Yan.

Xu Qi'an calmly glanced at the generals present, and saw that their expressions were solemn, and they seemed to be a little negative and depressed because of Zhang Kaitai's narration, so he nodded immediately and did not ask again.

Listening to your comrades-in-arms talk about the strength of the enemy is a very demoralizing thing.

In terms of war, Xu Qi'an had no experience, so he no longer participated, half-closed his eyes, thinking.

His silence disappointed several generals who knew that Xu Yinluo was a master of the art of war.

The pinnacle of the four products of the dual system is a bit difficult to do.......... Xu Qi'an weighed it again and again in his heart, and found that he was not capable of defeating his opponent.

First of all, the superposition of means of different systems can produce a qualitative effect. Just like Xu Qi'an, who relied on Confucian spell books, temporarily became an "all-rounder", and subdued Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen with the power of one person.

At that time, he was two grades lower than the two.

Secondly, the four grades also have strengths and weaknesses, Li Miaozhen, a rising star who has been promoted to the fourth grade for half a year, which four pinnacle level powerhouses he encounters, are basically beaten.

What is the concept of the pinnacle of the four products of the dual system?

Under the three grades, there are not many who can beat him.

"My heaven and earth can be a threat to the four-rank master, but it can only be against a weak four-rank like Li Miaozhen. Moreover, it may not be able to hit the other party, the deterrent effect of the lion's roar of the Buddha Gate is not effective for wizards who are proficient in the realm of the primordial gods, and if I can't cut that knife, I will be finished........

"Master Shenshu hasn't woken up either, you can never wake up a person who hangs up, even if you say NMSL..........

"The Confucian magic book is a very strong auxiliary, but I don't have Haoran righteousness to protect my body, I use it too hard, and I die first. If you don't use it ruthlessly, you can't kill the dual system of the peak of the four grades at all..........."

After carefully examining his methods, Xu Qi'an was a little discouraged.

In the case of not opening the hanging, with the body of the fifth grade, it is too reluctant to kill the peak double system of the fourth grade, and it is almost impossible to do it.

Even if he unites Li Miaozhen and Zhang Kaitai, and combines the strength of the three of them, it will definitely be no problem to fight a Nurhega, but there is no shortage of masters in the armies of Yanguo and Kangguo, and there are still 80,000 horses.

............

Outside Yuyang Pass.

The sky is blue, and on the desolate plains, dense armies are slowly advancing, followed by artillery, infantry, and cavalry, with clear layers.

Before the artillery, there were six huge siege vehicles, pulled by twenty-eight horses, which were made by Yan Guo according to the drawings leaked by the Ministry of War.

It can be lifted and lowered, up to seven zhang, enough to cope with the height of most of the city walls, as for those buildings in danger, even if the height is enough, the siege vehicles cannot drive in.

This is also the reason why Wei Yuan did not carry siege vehicles in the siege of the city, the Yanguo checkpoint is dangerous, and most of them rely on the geographical advantage, and the siege vehicles are useless.

In the cavalry lineup, Nurhega sat on the back of a tall beast that resembled a horse, covered in pitch-black scales, and had a sharp horn protruding from its forehead.

Yasukuni's unicorn.

Nurhega's mount is not an ordinary unicorn beast, and Xiahou Yushu's love horse is the brother of the same mother, and they are both the descendants of the psychic demon beast in the Yasukuni Horse Farm.

"Brother Red Bear, there are only less than 20,000 defenders in Yuyang Pass, can you assess how long it will take to take it?"

Nurhega, who had gray sideburns, turned his head and looked to the side.

It was a stout man in dark armor, with a vertical scar on the left side of his face, directly from his eyebrows to his chin, which not only broke his face, but also ruined an eye.

So it's a one-eyed.

The identity of this one-eyed man is equally noble, and he is the younger brother of the monarch of Kang Guojun, the red bear of Sugudu.

Red bear, people live up to their name.

This person is extremely talented and has amazing strength, and when he was refining the essence realm, he once broke the bones and tendons of the martial arts of the Qi Cultivation Realm with one punch.

Kang Guo went up to the temple and down to the rivers and lakes, and this person's cultivation can rank in the top 20.

Su Gudu Red Bear squinted, looked at the towering city wall of Yuyang Pass from afar, and grinned: "Half a month at most." ”

Nurhega shook his head: "I said five days, of course, if the situation is as I expected, then maybe three days will be enough." ”

Sugudu Red Bear stared at him.

Nurhega said with a smile: "Wei Yuan is dead, the morale of the Great Feng soldiers is low, and seeing our 80,000 horsemen approaching the city is another blow. In addition, most of the high-grade martial artists of Dafeng have been damaged in Jingshan City. How many masters can there be in a small Yuyang Pass? Even if there is, is it enough for us to kill?"

Sugudu Red Bear nodded slowly.

The burly half-hundred-man continued:

"Besides, our soldiers are in full swing, Wei Yuan is really at the main altar, and the great god of the army died at the main altar of our Witch God Sect, from another angle, isn't it very exciting?"

Their attack on Yuyang Pass this time was on the order of the Witch God Sect's General Altar, and the order conveyed by the national teacher of Yierbu was concise and to the point: Kill!

Homicide!

Kill as much as you can, and kill as much as you can.

A reenactment of the slaughter of forty years ago.

Nurhega looked at the banner of the hunting show at the head of the city, squinted, and said:

"Wei Yuan slaughtered the people of my Yan Kingdom and shook the luck of my Witch God Sect. Now, it's our turn to shake Dabong's luck. ”

Shaking luck is very simple, it is war, it is killing.

A country is made up of an individual, the larger the population, the stronger the luck, a small country of 10,000 people or a large country of 10 million people, which luck is stronger, it is self-evident.

The combined forces of Yankang and Kang stopped, and the sound of footsteps, wheels, and armor colliding all disappeared, and there was silence.

............

Xu Qi'an followed Zhang Kaitai and other generals to the top of the city, overlooking from afar, the array of 80,000 horses was neat, like a cut tofu block.

These 80,000 horses feel like an ant colony is small, but the black pressure is dense, which also makes people feel suffocated, and the sense of oppression is like a tide.

The guards at the head of the city looked solemn, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Zhang Kaitai pressed the hilt of the knife, looked solemn, looked down on the army under the city, and said in a deep voice:

"The Witch God Cult is different from the Demon Barbarian, the Demon Barbarian has nothing, only cavalry. Charging and fighting on the battlefield with demons, we lose more and win less. But the demon barbarians are also very knowledgeable, and rarely attack the city.

"But the Witch God Cult has artillery, crossbows, siege equipment, and foot soldiers who are good at ant-attached siege cities. ”

Xu Qi'an proposed: "Didn't you say that Duke Wei had penetrated the hinterland of the Yan Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom had already suffered heavy losses, and now he has gathered troops, heh, how many troops can he dispatch?"

"Perhaps, they are very empty now, can we sneak around and attack the capital of Yan Country?"

Zhang Kaitai shook his head: "It's not that simple, Nurgah is not stupid, he must have left a minimum of troops to defend the city, and then fortify the wall." We have a limited number of artillery and can't afford siege warfare.

"Don't wait until the artillery is gone, and the city has not been captured, wouldn't it be a loss to the lady and a soldier. The capital of the Yan Kingdom, even the Duke of Wei can't capture it in a short time, let alone us.

"If we fight other cities, the battle line is too long, and the enemy can easily cut off our food and grass, and the brothers sent out will die in vain. ”

Xu Qi'an nodded slowly.

At this time, he saw a horse riding out of the ranks, and with his eyesight, he could vaguely see that it was a burly man, with frost-white temples and eyes as sharp as knives, and his momentum was awe-inspiring.

Under the crotch, a black-scaled beast is vicious.

Nurhega? He made a guess in his mind.

Then, the guards at the head of the city, including Xu Qi'an, saw the king of the Yan Kingdom, raised his saber, turned his horse's head, and roared towards his army:

"Sons and daughters of the Yan Kingdom, half a month ago, the Dafeng army invaded our territory, slaughtered seven cities in a row, slaughtered parents and brothers, and burned their homes to scorched earth.

The army of the Yan Kingdom let out an overwhelming roar: "I haven't forgotten!"

Nurhega continued to roar:

"This is our hatred, but it is not a shame, half a month ago, Wei Yuan died in Jingshan City, was killed by our Witch God Sect, he used his life to pay for his actions. Worship the god of the army, but that's it.

"The proud god of war was easily killed by our Witch God Sect, and became a stepping stone for us to become famous in Kyushu. Now, it's time for the weak Dafeng to taste our wrath.

"We want Dafeng to know that the territory of the Witch God Cult is inviolable, and those who kill our people will definitely pay for it with blood. ”

Every time he said a word, the momentum of the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom increased by one point, and his confidence also increased by one point.

In the end, the momentum is like a rainbow.

The Kangguo army was also affected by it and had high morale.

This speech was very successful, because it had a solid foundation, a solid basis: Wei Yuan was killed by our Witch God Sect!

In the half month after the end of the Battle of Jingshan City, the Yankangjing Three Kingdoms hyped up the news that Wei Yuan was executed in the main altar, which made the people of the Three Kingdoms, the soldiers, and even the people in the rivers and lakes extremely excited.

Regardless of whether the propaganda of the Witch God Cult is suspected of avoiding the important and trivial, the facts are the facts.

Especially the people of Yanguo, hearing this news, it can be said that the whole country cheered.

The great god of the army, who was famous in the Battle of Shanhaiguan and made the veterans who participated in this battle change their complexion, was not killed by our Witch God Sect.

The people who had been complaining turned their anger into joy, and the army that had lost confidence was again high-spirited.

At the head of the city, Xu Qi'an's face was gloomy.

Nurhega's blade pointed at Yuyang Pass and shouted: "Siege!"

At the sound of an order, the war began.

The two 10,000-strong foot soldiers of Yankang and Kang took the lead in the charge, pushing three siege vehicles, carrying ladders more than ten meters long, and carrying hundreds of pounds of battering rams.

Behind them, archers, artillery, and crossbows opened fire in unison, covering the siege of the city by foot soldiers.

At the head of the city, the drums beat like thunder, and the trumpets blew long.

Boom, boom, boom!

The artillery on the women's wall opened fire one after another, and one by one the artillery smashed into the enemy, exploding flesh and blood, and flying stumps and broken arms.

Boom, boom, boom!

The sound of the bed crossbow was clear, and the crossbow arrows that condensed the white light shot into the distance, the lethality of the crossbow arrows was inferior to that of artillery, but the range and penetration were superior.

Therefore, the crossbow bolts are aimed at artillerymen, crossbows, and enemy masters farther away.

Under the six-grade copper skin and iron bones, no martial artist can block a single blow of a magic weapon crossbow arrow.

And even if it is a six-pin, if you eat an arrow, you will be seriously injured.

In addition to artillery and bed crossbows, thousands of soldiers bent their bows and arrows and fired fiercely downward.

In half a pillar of incense, more than a thousand foot soldiers died in the charge.

Shouts of killing, screams, the roar of artillery, the firing of crossbow arrows......... Intertwined into a blurred picture of flesh and blood.

The only thing that can advance slowly is the siege vehicle.

The siege vehicle was a huge one, made of steel and wood, and even if it took a few shots, it would not cause much damage. It is also guarded by high-quality warriors to prevent damage from artillery and crossbow arrows.

In the steel cabin of each siege vehicle, there were nearly a hundred elite soldiers.

Once these people reach the top of the city, they will be able to tear a hole in the firepower net in a short time, relieving the pressure on the soldiers who are climbing the ants below.

Xu Qi'an, who was staring at the siege soldiers below, turned his eyes and found that a siege vehicle had approached the city wall.

The artillerymen hurriedly raised their guns and aimed them at the siege vehicle.

A few shells went down, only to make it tremble violently, cracked, and indestructible.

"Taiping!"

Xu Qi'an patted his back gently.

The Taiping knife snorted out of its sheath and roared away, the dark golden knife light was as fast as a line, and it was lightly slashed on several load-bearing pillars, and the next moment, there was a "click" sound, and the siege vehicle was torn apart.

The heavy steel cabin smashed down, killing dozens of foot soldiers.

The peerless gods are invincible.

At the head of the city, the surrounding Dafeng soldiers erupted in loud cheers, shouting "Xu Yingong" in their mouths, and their morale skyrocketed.

In the distance, in the cavalry camp, Nurhega frowned, looked around, and asked, "Who is that person?"
