Chapter 407
"Snake Wan, you are still young, as the number one talent in the clan, you will become the snake ancestor sooner or later. And the old ancestor also intends to cultivate you, you don't have to fight for this kind of merit at all. "What's more, our people are no longer fit to fight. What if it is a year or two of recuperation? Our Snake Ancestors can afford it, but can their human race afford it? Even if the formation mage has a long lifespan, does he have the ability to compare with our Snake Clan?"
Snake Wan lowered his head and said no more, the reason is very simple, that is, he knows that the human race can't afford it.
He felt that there was nothing wrong with the snake's defeat, but he always felt that there was something wrong. But now he can't care so much, all he wants is an excuse to retreat.
An eerie glint flashed in the snake's eyes, and then retreated.
Qin Yue looked at the white snake clan that had withdrawn, and he was also relieved, the individual strength of these snake demons of the white snake clan was extremely strong, if it was one-on-one, the human race cultivator would not be able to account for a little bit.
In the past, it was only with the help of foreign objects such as rune paper, formations, and poison that these snake demons could be slaughtered, and if these snake demons were really allowed to get close and fall into hand-to-hand combat, then what was waiting for the Terran cultivators would be a massacre.
Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, which did not mean that everyone was relieved.
Those cultivators who had been forcibly recruited were indeed relieved, after all, this battle could be thrilling and dangerous.
At least these cultivators did not encounter danger, and even some cultivators had already felt that their strength was too weak and began to purify their spiritual power.
But some people are getting nervous
Qin Yue also had a little headache when he looked at the high-level of White River City in front of him, after all, this was in White River City, and these guys had the right to know the danger that would happen.
"Qin Yue, I remember that you have never been in danger, so you can explain it to me...... What just happened?" Xue Han's face was extremely unkind.
Qin Yue took out a rune paper and put it on top of the leyline, "This rune paper is the treasure of the suppression clan of Bailong Village, which can mobilize the entire leyline near Baihe City for their own use, they just used this rune paper to manipulate the leyline for a short time, so that part of my formation is invalid." ”
"You know that's not what I'm going to hear. "Snow chill.
"Well, it's impossible for these white snakes to launch a second such attack, the attack just now can be their last death throes, if you don't feel at ease, you can garrison here for another thirty. Qin Yue said with a smile.
Losing the means of controlling the leylines, even if it's a breath. No matter how unwilling these snake demons of the White Snake Clan are, they can only admit it.
"Master Qin Yue, do you mean that the people of White Dragon Village control the leylines here?" asked Chen Liren, the new city lord of White River City, "With a control of the leylines, how could they be willing to live in a fishing village?"
The leyline, also known as the dragon vein, controls a leyline, at least there will be a land overlord in the family, but although Bailong Village is not nameless near Baihe City, it is also the kind that is not famous.
"What they are planning is not to gain or lose one city or one place, these guys are targeting the snake ancestor of the White Snake Clan. Qin Yue said, "The snake ancestor dragon must intercept the earth's leylines, Cheng, it is the true dragon of Bailong Village, defeated, there is at least one dragon in Bailong Village." And, aren't they really the hegemons?"
Everyone was silent, if Bailong Village was not the overlord near Baihechuan Lake, then there was no deserving of the title of overlord.
Although the entire White Dragon Village is not clearly the king and hegemon, the White Snake clan behind them has taken this point to the extreme.
And at this time, Bailong Village can be regarded as paying the price for its greed, at least, not a single person in the village survived, which is the best price. Qin Yue didn't think that there were still living people in the current Bailong Village. If it had, it would have been sent to death by those White Snake guys.
It was at this time that Nanguan
"Boom, boom, boom......" With a fierce cannon sound, then there was a trace of crack in the wall of Nanguan.
Qin Shuang was also extremely helpless when he saw this scene, of course, there was a formation defense on the surface of Nanguan, but this formation defense was useless for an existence like a siege artillery.
It can't be useless, it's just that the power of this siege cannon is too great, even if it is weakened by the defensive formation, the power is still amazing.
"Ready, get your men ready to attack. Qin Shuang said to Wang Meng.
"Attack?" Wang Meng was stunned for a moment, he wondered if his ears had heard it wrong, it was actually an attack, not a defense? Could it be that his own leader had a broken head? But he did not dare to question his leader so much, for the simple reason that he was afraid of being killed.
He then ordered his cavalry to prepare for the attack, even if the leader of the cavalry expressed doubts.
With the end of the third round of shelling, the entire vicinity of the city gate is already full of potholes, but the city gate is fine, the reason is that the city gate has been reinforced before, and it is really a bit of a dream to want to penetrate here with just a few rounds of siege artillery.
It's just that the city gate is fine, and the problem on the side of the city gate is a big problem, and two huge openings are blasted open on the edge of the city gate, and the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty can attack from here.
It's just that the cavalry on both sides rushed from all sides, followed by the sappers, who quickly demolished the surrounding things, and after the demolition, new craftsmen brought up a series of things such as stone building materials to help reinforce them.
After doing all this, those cavalry had already engaged the Southern Tang infantry who rushed up.
The infantry commander of the Southern Tang Dynasty did not expect that the other party would attack first, and was originally a little stunned by the rain of arrows, and did not expect that in such a short period of time, there would be another team of cavalry, and the result was obvious, the infantry of the Southern Tang Dynasty was directly hit by the cavalry and turned over on their backs, and they fell directly on their stomachs.
By the time the cavalry returned, the gap in the city gate had already been filled.
On the Southern Tang side, although Li Ye wanted to greet the whole family of the commander who led the infantry to attack the city, he still held back, because he knew that this was not the time to criticize a general.
It's just that his heart is dripping blood, and after three rounds of shelling, there are 1,000 spirit stones burned, but there is no harvest at all. The only gain was that the two gaps in the original Nanguan were reinforced, and the soldiers of Western Qin were more strict in guarding them.
"Your Highness Ye, the probability of the next giant bombardment of the city, the probability of my success is not very high. Yuwen Ye stood in front of Li Ye and said, to be honest, such a situation had already appeared in the previous rehearsal.
At that time, it was concluded that the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty needed to have enough siege guns, or the barrels of siege guns, to solve this problem, but now, because Li Ye's battle was missing a key link, the barrels and cannons were not very sufficient.
At this moment, a guard walked in from outside and said, "Your Highness, the Qin mission is here." ”
Li Ye's expression was extremely stunned, the reason was very simple, he didn't expect Qin Cha to come at this time. Moreover, the current battle situation in Nanguan is quite bad, even if the Qin mission is coming, it will need to wait until Nanguan is defeated.
"Qincha?" But Li Ye quickly returned to normal, and then asked, "Who else came with this Qincha?
But as soon as the words came out, he randomly realized that he had asked the wrong person. If this guard was the guard beside him before, there would be no problem at all to ask this kind of question, the reason is very simple, there are not many people who can be a messenger, and the guards around Li Ye basically know each other.
But now, in the process of attacking Western Qin, his personal guards have been lost, if there were guards to supplement before, then now after the loss of his own troops in Fengguan, there is no one to replenish.
Now although these people around him are called guards, they are in name only, and Li Ye doesn't dare to talk to these guards for some really secret things, unless he doesn't want to live.
"I don't know under the mark, but I sent it to Qin, it seems that there are 3,000 Modao battalions and 30,000 forbidden troops. The guard on the ground said.
Li Ye gasped, this time both Li Ye and Yuwen Ye on the side felt that things were a little incredible. After all, the old emperor could know that he was guarding against the six princes, but at this time, he would send such a support army to the six princes.
Although the title of these three thousand Mo Sword Army is three thousand, it is the most elite three thousand people in the entire Southern Tang Mo Sword Army, and three thousand can break 100,000, the general of this Mo Sword Army. In fact, in history, at the beginning of its establishment, the 3,000 Mo Sword Army did break through the 100,000 army, although it was the army of the Western Song Dynasty.
And the 30,000 forbidden army, as long as you are a little smarter, you know where it was mobilized.
Only Luoyang, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, could only be the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, after all, there were so many idle forbidden troops outside Luoyang City, and they could still be raised in a short time.
"The old emperor is just an attitude, but it is also gratifying, at least the sixth prince's predicament is no longer there. Yuwen Ye said, "In this case, the competition for the crown prince in the future will be much easier, right?"
"It's just an attitude, for the sake of an attitude, I almost lost Sozakura" Li Ye said with a wry smile, "Next, the road I want to take is too difficult." ”
In fact, it is true, that almost all of his personal guards are lost, for the sake of a so-called attitude.
"Let's go meet the Chincha......"
"Sixth brother, you're welcome, I'm already here. Just then, a tall man walked in, "I'm already here, so, other things will pass." ”
"Fourth brother, when did you come out of prison?" Li Ye looked at the man in front of him, his eyes a little moist.
"Thanks to you, I was released from prison, only deprived of the status of a prince, and now I am just a prince, a prince who has come to assist you. Li Xiao said, "How about it, you and my brother, how about creating brilliance again?"
Li Ye looked at Li Xiao in front of him, although he was thinking about something, he still pushed the map in front of him and said, "These can't be done first, just think about it first, how to gnaw down the Nanguan in front of you." ”
Li Xiao is the fourth prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, of course, only the former four princes. The reason is very simple, because he disobeyed the decision of the Tang king, so he was deprived of the status of a prince, and the army of the Southern Tang was at war with the army of the Central Zhou at that time, but in the case of consecutive victories, the Tang king asked to withdraw the army.
At that time, because of the domestic financial resources, the Southern Tang army was no longer allowed to start a war again, although the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty hoped for war.
In fact, it is not allowed, but at that time, the economy of the Southern Tang Dynasty was indeed hit to a certain extent, but if you want to hold on for a while, or even a few years, you can still do it. When the time comes, the compensation for the land cession in the middle of the week will be relieved.
However, the finance minister at that time directly asked the king of Tang and Zhongzhou to negotiate peace, and the king of Tang was also a guy who was eager to defend the city at that time, so he sent envoys to make peace.
The result of the peace was very simple, that is, the Southern Tang released all the captives of the Middle Zhou, and then the Central Zhou compensated the Southern Tang with a certain amount of money, but the two occupied states had to be returned. But this is almost impossible for the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty, especially the fourth prince Li Xiao who led the attack army of the Southern Tang Dynasty at that time.
The opportunity to make a contribution is right in front of you, and how can you give it up easily.
However, there was also a law at that time, that is, the king of Tang was afraid that Li Xiao's military achievements would be too strong, so he directly controlled the right to speak in the army.
However, Li Xiao obviously didn't think about it so much at that time, he just wanted the war to continue, so he directly made a decision to directly kill all the 110,000 Zhongzhou troops captured by the Southern Tang Dynasty, before the military order officially arrived.
These captives were not killed prisoners, but sacrifices, ancestors, and 110,000 Zhongzhou people were directly sacrificed. Then directly swear to the assembly and attack the middle week.
At that time, Li Xiao's words were that as long as the army marched fast enough, then the order to persuade me to surrender would not reach me. As a result, he did it, within three days, and even in the next three prefectures, two prefectures and thirteen villages. Directly pressed the army defense line of the Central Zhou Dynasty back more than 250 miles, and if it were not for the fact that the logistics could not keep up, this war could have continued.
This battle directly established Li Xiao's name as the god of war, but he did not get the merit he deserved, but was directly put under house arrest by King Tang.
Although many generals in the army expressed dissatisfaction, Tang Wang said directly, "I discipline my own son, what do you care about?"
However, after that, every time the Southern Tang Dynasty encountered an enemy that he couldn't solve, he would send Li Xiao to solve it, and even the last time Li Ye was beaten by the Guanglin Army, it was also the Southern Tang defense line that Li Xiao led the army to defend.
