Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Fall

Some people have to ask, why did the Heavenly Sword Sect, which was also a top-level force, die? You must know that when the family was in its heyday, it was called the Seven Great Sects with the six major factions.

There is another secret involved in this, so I won't mention it here.

The great masters of both sides had scruples, so they could only confront each other, and did not directly fight.

However, the following battles are different, after all, this is the territory of the Yang family, the home advantage is here, and as time goes by, several grandmaster families in the city have also helped, after all, this is Daliang City.

The branch of the Six Gates in Daliang City was also guarded by several Grandmaster powerhouses, and they immediately led the masters of the Six Gates to come to support.

Even at this time, even the garrison troops guarding the girder rushed over.

"Retreat!" Venerable Bai waved his hand lightly, and just in time for the other forces of Great Liang City to rush to support, he ordered a retreat.

Attacking the Yang family is not the goal, but to contain, contain the Yang family's masters, and also show the power of the Demon Gate.

This is Daliang City, the first capital city of Northwest Province, and the center of Northwest Province.

There are many masters and many forces.

And the Demon Gate is in the city to provoke the Yang family, the first wealthy family in the Northwest Road, no, this is not just a provocation, but a humiliation!

Very utterly humiliating!

And that's not even the most humiliating thing.

The most humiliating thing is that the head of the Yang family, Yang Hongtao, the marquis of Jingbian for the fifth generation, has fallen.

He still didn't escape the ambush of the Demon Gate.

Once the Demon Gate moves, it is really a thunderous momentum, go all out.

A great grandmaster was dispatched to ambush Yang Hongtao.

Even if Yang Hongtao is the youngest grandmaster of the Yang family, and he is also a well-known grandmaster powerhouse in the rivers and lakes, he still can't escape the pursuit of a great grandmaster.

Just when Yang Hongtao was ambushed, the Yunmeng Empire gathered an army of 700,000 to storm the Absolute Dragon Pass.

The offensive and defensive battle of Juelong Pass officially began.

Three days later, the Yang family held a private funeral for Yang Hongtao, and the tablet entered the Yang family ancestral hall.

The entire Yang family was unhappy, and the wife of the head of the family didn't know how many times she cried and fainted, and Yang Hongtao's pulse was hit hard.

Fortunately, the atmosphere of the Yang family is good, but no one dares to fall into the ground.

Moreover, at this time, most of the Yang family's forces were mobilized to the Absolute Dragon Pass, and they were fully defending against the attack of the Yunmeng Empire.

Fortunately, when Yang Hongtao was ambushed, the elder of the Yang family notified the court first.

The military headquarters of the imperial court immediately arranged the leading generals nearby, successfully took over the command of the Zhenbei Army, and commanded the army to guard the pass.

Under the command of the new commander-in-chief, the Zhenbei Army repelled the enemy's offensive, recaptured five checkpoints, and regained the initiative.

Coupled with the Yang family's full mobilization of logistical support, the Zhenbei Army successfully stabilized the situation, and the battle entered a stalemate.

The strategic intention of the Yunmeng Empire was not achieved, and a sneak attack-style blitzkrieg was turned into a positional battle by them.

It's hard to ride a tiger, and the Yunmeng Empire can't just withdraw its troops, right?

In this battle, the Zhenbei Army suffered a quarter of the casualties, and although the Yunmeng Empire was a sneak attacker, the Juelong Pass was the strongest pass in the world after all, and the loss was not small at all. They lost almost a third.

However, even so, the Yunmeng Empire still had 500,000 living forces.

The military headquarters of the imperial court urgently dispatched 150,000 elites to support the Juelong Pass, but it would take at least ten days for this army to reach the Juelong Pass.

To this end, the imperial military department also ordered the garrisons of several provinces in the northwest province to draw out 200,000 garrisons to support the Juelong Pass first.

The first batch of 50,000 troops has arrived, greatly easing the pressure on the Absolute Dragon Pass.

It's just that it's okay for these garrisons to help guard the pass, but it's not okay to go out of the pass to fight in the field and capture the pass. It is still necessary to wait until the real elite army of the imperial court arrives before the Great Zhou has the strength to fight back.

The White Venerable and the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Demon Gate couldn't help but be angry when they saw that the Yunmeng Empire was stopped in front of the Absolute Dragon Pass and was beaten back.

The Demon Gate has broken the pillars of the Zhenbei Army, leaving the Yang family to take care of themselves, and the command of the Zhenbei Army is out of balance, even so, the Yunmeng Empire still can't capture the Juelong Pass, 700,000 to 200,000, they are all elites in a hundred battles, so they can't be defeated, it can only be said that the generals of the Yunmeng Empire are too wasteful.

The Demon Gate's attack on the Yang family this time was not without losses, if you want to let the large army retreat safely, how can it be possible not to leave a part of the broken queen?

After the break, it is a sacrifice, and the Demon Gate attacked the Yang family this time and lost two grandmasters, and there are countless grandmasters. The two Grandmasters who lost were all besieged and killed by the Yang family and the masters of the Six Gates because of the broken queen.

Well, of course, the grandmasters left by the Demon Gate are the kind of grandmasters who have no promotion potential, and it is still worth it for the Demon Gate to die two for Yang Hongtao, the Marquis of Jingbian, so the Demon Gate did not suffer a loss.

A secret stronghold of the Demon Gate.

"Newspaper - Marshal Yunmeng's letter has arrived. ”

"Present it. "The Flame Dragon Venerable King is a little listless.

"Don't look too much, you must be here to ask for help, right?" said King Zhihu with a light sigh.

Venerable Bai opened the letter, looked at it carefully, snorted coldly, threw the letter to the ground, and scolded: "What a bunch of rubbish!"

"As you expected. With a gesture of his hand, the King of Equality took the letter that had fallen to the ground into his hand, roughly swept the contents of the letter, and said indifferently.

When the Yanlong Dharma King took a look, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you want our Holy Gate to knock down the Absolute Dragon Pass, and then give it to them? What do these wastes think of the Holy Gate, and their subordinates are still nannies?"

"How is His Holiness going to deal with it?" asked Venerable Zhihu.

"Hey, this time our goal has been achieved, the Yang family will be quiet for at least a while after this battle, Yang Hongtao has fallen, and the Yang family wants to choose a new family leader, which will take time. The new head of the family takes over the power of the Yang family, and it takes time. Well, do the math, there are at least ten years of stable life to live, and our energy is mainly on the six major factions in the Central Plains. Venerable Bai said.

"Yes, the army of the Yunmeng Empire has always been in the hands of the Golden Family, and we can't pee in the same pot at all, we are only united because of interests. They want us to fight the Dragon Pass, and the benefits we get are disproportionate to the pay. I don't approve of meddling in a frontal war, the power of the Great Zhou court is not so simple. "The Yanlong Dharma King has a lot of scruples.

Venerable Bai was even more skeptical of participating in a frontal war.

Because once a frontal war is on fire, heaven and man will fall. Compared with the strife in the rivers and lakes, the war of the state is much more brutal.

The Holy Gate and the Yunmeng Empire are only united because of interests, and the two are not one at all, so it is possible for the Holy Gate to use the power of the whole religion to help the Yunmeng Empire fight a national war?
