258 Strategies to lure the enemy
In the Zhumu Pass, the iron cavalry tent stretches for more than ten miles.
Emperor Liang received a letter from Zhu Ziqi asking for help, and immediately ordered the second prince Prince Qin to lead 50,000 elite iron cavalry to aid Zhumu, Zhu Ziqi thought that this army was marching in a hurry, and it would be able to reach Zhumu in about a month, but the moment Zhu Mengming, the king of Qin, received the holy decree, he was resentful, why was he just the deputy general of this army, and he had to be controlled by Zhu Ziqi, and the original march of January went for two months.
The 30,000 forbidden army Lou Fu Iron Cavalry under the leadership of Li Tianqing, the prince of the Jin Dynasty, traveled lightly and arrived at Zhumu Pass in less than a month, becoming the first reinforcement army to rush to Zhumu Pass, which amazed the envoys of various countries.
What is even more admirable is that the king of Jin even allocated grain to Kunlun, otherwise the army has no food, how can it fight? Kunlun is far away, Everest is high, and the grain transported to Zhumu Pass is not one out of ten, Rao is so, two months later, the first batch of 300,000 stone grain and grass sent by the king of Jin, which solved the urgent need of grain and grass in Zhumu.
Tianji Pavilion will build granaries in the past dynasties, in order to prepare for the war, in the end there is not enough grain and grass to support, and Tianji Pavilion in Kunlun can be described as a general existence, Kunlun more than a dozen tribes are vassals of Tianji Pavilion, Tianji Pavilion a paper edict, immediately, 100,000 Kunlun iron cavalry gathered to Zhumu Pass, the leading general is Lu Dongzan, deputy general on Qinling.
Various tribes in Kunlun have continuously transported grain and grass to Zhumu Pass.
This is a big war related to the safety of the human race, although the countries of the Central Plains still have reservations about each other, although they have sent elite soldiers, they have not poured out, after all, they all think that the disaster of the demon race is just a disease of scabies, there is a threat, and it will not completely destroy the human world.
Today's Long Tianxing is just a dragon king who has not yet become a land immortal, and his command can gather at most 300,000 demon clan troops, which is not the same as the white-haired demon rebellion thousands of years ago.
Back then, the white-haired and shadowless commanded the million-strong army of the demon clan, and the shadowless was the land fairyland, and the realm of the white hair was even more unfathomable, although it finally hit the human army hard, and the Tianji Pavilion was almost destroyed, but in the end, the demon army never took a step beyond Zhumu.
Today's Long Tianxing is not worth mentioning in the hearts of the Central Plains people, because of the covenant signed by the human race in the past, the sects on the mountain and the temples under the mountains sent monks and armor soldiers to help.
If you easily defeat Long Tianxing, the benefits you will get are quite rich, the whole body of the demon clan is full of treasures, and where is the corpse of the bear clan and the tiger clan swept away by the turbulent Yishui, but the silver of the white flowers.
When Zhu Ziqi and Chen Jingtang retreated, they did not forget to clean up the battlefield, brought the corpse of the demon clan back to Zhumu Pass, and decomposed the corpse of the demon clan overnight.
I can't bring back the bear meat, so I'll enjoy it myself.
The tiger spirit is even more valuable, because of the scramble for the corpse of the tiger clan, the Liang army and the Jin army broke out a lot of conflicts, if it were not for Zhu Ziqi and Chen Jingtang to deal with it in time, once the new and old hatred of the Liang army broke out, I am afraid that before Long Tianxing attacked, the Liang and Jin coalition forces would fall apart.
The initial battle was frustrated, and Long Tianxing no longer attacked easily.
Unexpectedly, Xu Tianran and his party interfered, the Phoenix clan did not send troops, and directly tore his face with the dragon clan completely, and now Long Tianxing has no help from the Phoenix clan, Long Tianxing knows that it is difficult for him to conquer Zhumu Pass.
However, Mei Lan Poppy seemed to have become the overseer of this army, and Wuying asked Long Tianxing to let at least ten Terran Ascension Realm Great Cultivators fall into the Demon Realm, which was almost an impossible goal for Long Tianxing.
If it weren't for Mei Lan's poppy who brought ten demon clan great array masters, even if Wuying was in person and forced himself to fight with a sword, he would not let his soldiers go to death for no reason.
Long Tianxing knew that Zhu Mu was too far away from the human world, and in order to put enough pressure on the human race, Long Tianxing had gathered an army of 300,000 demon clans on the south bank.
Nangong Faun looked at the scene stretching for dozens of miles on the south bank of Yishui, and immediately understood Long Tianxing's wishful thinking, he was just going to lure the Terran army to cross Yishui, once his Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation could not provide shelter for the Terran in the demon world, Long Tianxing would have the means to severely damage the Terran army.
Long Tianxing's delay in launching an attack was to wait for the moment when the grain and grass in Zhumu Pass were exhausted, but fortunately, the grain and grass in the original granary of Zhumu Pass were sufficient, and with the 300,000 stone grain and grass of the Jin Kingdom, it could barely last for three months.
All the tribes in Kunlun have been mobilized, not surprisingly, in addition to the people's rations, they can only raise two more months of grain and grass, therefore, the war can not be delayed any longer, now there are 100,000 Kunlun cavalry, 60,000 Liang iron cavalry, 40,000 Jin Janissary cavalry, 30,000 Western Regions coalition army and the rest of the Central Plains countries thousands to 10,000 troops, but also gathered nearly 300,000 troops.
Wu Yueguo sent another 7,000 reinforcements into Kunlun, and Qian Yue became the commander of 10,000 troops, wearing a military uniform to attend the pre-account meeting of the Zhumu related army.
Nangong Faun said straight to the point: "The grain and grass in Zhumu Pass can't be supported for too long, Long Tianxing has not launched an attack on the other side for a long time, he must have wanted to lure us to take the initiative to cross the river to attack, although I don't know what kind of ability he has to press the bottom of the box, but there must be hidden killing moves that will cause great damage to our army." Today's deliberation is to discuss countermeasures, and you can speak freely. ”
Zhu Mengming got up, full of disdain, "The dragon clan will make you afraid of being like this, you are afraid, my Liang army is not afraid, as long as the pavilion master allows, tomorrow our army is willing to be the vanguard and cross the river to attack." ”
Zhu Ziqi glanced at Zhu Mengming, Zhu Mengming didn't seem to see it, Chen Jingtang didn't want to be a bird, and he didn't speak.
Zhu Mengming is just fighting for a breath, he is also a child of the Zhu family, why does his father prefer Ziqi, this time if he is the main general, Ziqi is the deputy general, maybe he can listen to the advice of this youngest sister, but the father's holy decree made himself a deputy general, Zhu Mengming was completely dead, this time he let go, hid the holy decree privately, seized Zhu Ziqi's military power, and became the commander of the Liang army.
Zhu Mengming is now eager to make great contributions in Kunlun and impress his father, after all, his father's serious injury has not healed, and he sees that his body and bones are not as good as day by day, if he returns to heaven one day, he will really have no chance at all.
Zhu Ziqi went to Kunlun, the crown prince Zhu Mengyu was in charge of the country, where would Zhu Mengming watch the throne fall on the eldest brother, so as soon as he heard that Daliang was going to send troops to Kunlun, it took a lot of thought to get the opportunity to lead the troops to the battle.
Zhu Mengming made up his mind, this trip to Kunlun was rich and dangerous, if he couldn't make military achievements, he wouldn't return to Tianjing City, and gave up the title of King Qin, this monstrous wealth should not be enough, after all, when the eldest brother ascended the throne, he was afraid that he would not have a good end.
If you make a great contribution, you can take charge of the army, and you have to go back and fight with your eldest brother.
As Xu Tianran said back then, now that the palace of the Great Liang is rotten, and Zhu Wu is in good health, the Great Liang is under Zhu Wu's iron fist, and no one dares to resist, but once Zhu Wu is gone, the huge empire will be declining.
Zhu Ziqi saw so many bad things, not that he didn't think about leaving, out of sight, out of mind, after all, he still couldn't give up his father and family.
It's one thing for the eldest brother and the second brother to miss love, and it's another thing to miss love for themselves.
If his father is not there in the future, Da Liang doesn't need himself, he can be free to walk around the rivers and lakes with a green shirt, be a pair of fairy couples, happy and revenge, and think it would be the happiest.
Whenever I think of this, Zhu Ziqi will quietly scold in my heart for wearing a green shirt, saying that it is a ten-year appointment or a five-year contract, and you will not advance a little, otherwise you will be shouted by your sister, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and younger siblings without a name and a shame.
Not to mention that the surname Xu is not accidental, the Ascension Realm is a certainty, that is, he has stopped in the God Realm in this life, where will he dislike him?
If he is the great master of the martial arts evaluation of the rivers and lakes, I will be the woman behind him, a husband and a godson, if he has no chance, the realm is stagnant, and he will not enter the martial arts evaluation for the rest of his life, what does it matter, what he likes is Xu Tianran, and it is not his cultivation.
Li Shiyu was faintly aware of the delicate relationship between Zhu Mengming and Zhu Ziqi, and was worried about Ziqi's sister.
Qian Yue's straightforward temperament was extremely unhappy after listening to Zhu Mengming's words, and he got up and retorted: "Knowing that the demon clan has a plan, he will ignore the charge, and he doesn't know how to die when he turns around." ”
In fact, Daliang and Wu Yue have always been friends, and the Emperor of Daliang even named King Wu Yue as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses.
Qian Yue is just a newcomer to the rivers and lakes, a new foray into the temple, where do you know so many twists and turns, Zhu Mengming didn't expect to be useless by the lord of Wuyue, and immediately smiled: "It turned out to be the lord of Wuyue, do you know that King Wuyue is a courtier of Daliang, as a subordinate, he refutes this king like this, don't you take Daliang in his eyes?"
Zhu Mengming's words made many people present disdainful, but Zhu Mengming moved out of Daliang and Wu Yue, and Qian Yue was just about to refute it back, but the worshipper next to him immediately pulled the sleeve of the county lord, and said in his heart: "Your Royal Highness the county lord, don't be impulsive, it's not our turn to be the first bird." ”
Qian Yue sat down angrily, and Zhu Mengming became more and more arrogant.
Li Yu, the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was dressed in white, and he was particularly conspicuous in the military tents full of armor, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was strong, and only sent 10,000 troops, and the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty even let the prince Li Yu lead the troops, wanting to exercise his son who was weak by nature.
Li Yu gently shook the folding fan, graceful, exuding the smell of books, a handsome and noble son who can write "When you return, you will put candles and flowers red, and wait to step on the horse's hooves and clear the night moon", among the kings and grandchildren of the world, only Li Yu's poems are famous all over the world.
Li Yu has no interest in killing demons, his thoughts have already drifted into the distance, he misses the comfortable bed in the palace, misses his wife who has just gotten married, and seems to have a poem in his heart.
Although Wu Yue had a bad relationship with the Southern Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty who came to Kunlun this time was a sensual poet, and when he saw the straightforward little girl Qian Yue in his eyes, he couldn't bear to be wronged.
Li Yu got up slowly and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is so majestic, we sent troops to the Tianji Pavilion to reject the demon clan together, if according to the meaning of the King of Qin, wouldn't our small countries be unqualified to participate in the deliberations, and the battle will be left to Da Liang to fight alone, let's wait for Da Liang to return triumphantly." ”
Nangong Feiyu sighed in his heart, the younger generation has been doing their own thing like this these years, Wu Yueguo ignored the good Liang, seeing that the Liang and Wu Yue pinched each other, Wu Yue's rival Nan Tang jumped out to speak for Wu Yue again, if the elders of all countries were there, it was estimated that they would be so angry that they would vomit blood.
Zhu Mengming was so angry that he pinched the wine glass hard, and the wine glass shattered.
Inside the big tent, the atmosphere was very treacherous.
The Kunlun coalition army only listened to the orders of Tianji Pavilion, and the countries in the Central Plains had their own thoughts, and Nangong Faun's eyes fell on Dugu Xin.
Dugu comprehended with confidence, Mo said how strong the other troops were, and they didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the Western Regions Alliance, this time the Sword Sect directly sent three Ascension Realm monks to come with the army, which was not only an extremely huge deterrent to the demon clan, but also a strong deterrent to the rest of the countries.
Dugu Xin was born as a Wu Chang, and when he arrived at Tianji Pavilion, he lowered his posture everywhere, and everyone was very happy with Dugu Xin, but did they think that the Sword Sect had sent a wine bag and rice bag?
In the face of doubts, even the three major Flying Ascension Realm Sword Immortals of the Sword Sect couldn't stand it, but Dugu Xin was left without being in a hurry or impatient, and he didn't care.
Dugu Xin clasped his fists and saluted all the main generals one by one, and said calmly: "All the armies of Zhumu Pass have come from afar, and the supply line is too long, if they hold each other for too long, it may be difficult to make it, and our army is really forced to take the initiative to attack." However, there will be a plan in the end, since Long Tianxing wants to wear down with our army for a long time, our army can pretend to retreat in order to confuse Long Tianxing, after all, Zhumu Pass is dangerous, as long as there are 100,000 elite troops and powerful monks left, they can resist the army of millions of demon clans, Long Tianxing will inevitably raise troops to attack when he sees our army retreating, and our army can inflict heavy losses on the demon army on the north bank, and then cross the river to counterattack, kill into the demon world to nourish the war, and completely crush Long Tianxing's ambitions. ”
Chen Jingtang glanced at His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, who was present at the big tent but did not speak, put down the wine glass, hugged his fists and said: "General Dugu has a good strategy, and the Jin Kingdom is willing to listen to General Dugu's moderation." ”
Nangong Feiyu gave a look, and Lu Dongzan immediately got up, "Kunlun's 100,000 coalition troops are willing to listen to General Dugu's moderation." ”
For a while, except for Zhu Mengming, the chief general of the Great Liang, who did not express his position, the rest of the armies all expressed their positions, and the original scene of almost falling apart was reversed in an instant.
Dugu Xin took the lead, got up coolly, and said in a deep voice: "Dugu Xin will live up to the trust of the generals, and will not return the dragon army." ”
Zhu Mengming was forced by the situation and had to obey Dugu Xin's moderation, and what was even more aggrieved was that he became the retreating force that lured the enemy, Zhu Mengming was resentful in his heart, but he was helpless.
The next day, the 60,000 army of the Great Liang was pulled out, and for a time the smoke and dust of the Zhumu Pass were billowing, Long Tianxing flew high from the dragon chariot, and saw several large armies preparing and retreating, and his heart was very anxious, if the human race really defended the Zhumu Pass, it was enough for tens of thousands of troops to block their offensive footsteps, plus Nangong Lao'er's heavenly immortal realm supernatural powers, how could he complete the will issued by His Majesty Wuying?
Mei Lan Poppy also came to visit in person early in the morning, and angrily reprimanded: "You said that you want to drag down the Terran army, it's not that you are cowardly, the Terran has not taken your 300,000 demon army into account at all, and has already begun to retreat." ”
Long Tianxing didn't expect that the Terrans would ignore their own provocations, and they couldn't let them retreat like this, so he immediately gathered troops to prepare for the attack.
Immediately, the entire army of the dragon clan was clothed in armor.
Led by the two major demon kings Tao Tao and Han Qi as the vanguard, the turtle clan laid three pontoon bridges, and the Tao Tao personally led the 50,000 demon clan army on the left road to attack first, with the tiger clan and the leopard clan as the vanguard, and crossed the Yishui in an instant, and went straight to the city pass.
On the right side, the 50,000 bear clan army as the core of the heavy armored foot soldiers, holding high shields and siege equipment, a sign of completely leveling the Zhumu Pass.
Dugu Xin saw that the dragon clan had taken the bait, and immediately, 10,000 Kunlun crossbowmen and crossbowmen at the head of Zhumu Pass fired 10,000 arrows.
The gluttonous army is not like the heavy armored foot soldiers of the Han Zhu, under the arrows, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the beachhead on the south bank, so it can only temporarily avoid the edge, and wait for the bear clan to gain a firm foothold on the south bank, the shield array is completed, and the tiger clan and the leopard clan who are lightly armed and fast move forward step by step.
The army of 100,000 demon clans walked in unison, and the entire Zhumu Pass trembled.
Long Tianxing also had doubts about whether it was a trap of the Terrans, so he stared closely at the army in the Terran Pass above the Nine Heavens, and saw that the Terran army was still retreating in an orderly manner.
Long Tianxing was completely angry, and the army of 50,000 Yarm was touched, and the huge Wulong stepped on the Turtle Clan's pontoon bridge, and the Yishui was submerged to the knees of the Yalong, and the Turtle Clan immediately arranged the reserve army, barely supporting the 50,000 Yalong army to cross the Yishui.
The army of 150,000 demon clans crossed the river together, and the entire Zhumu Pass was under the onslaught of the demon clan, and the already narrow city could only stand down 20,000 troops, and for a time the arrows of the demon clan were more fierce than the arrows of the human race.
The vanguard siege army approached the gate of Zhumu.
Dugu Xin was above the city, behind him were the most elite monks of the human race, and the monks behind were a little commotion, Dugu Xin was still calm, and only allowed Nangong Faun to go to the city to help in the battle.
Nangong Faun is a strong man in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and as soon as he went to the city, he said in a deep voice: "Soldiers, even if you shoot these demon beasts, with me, not a single arrow will fall on the city." ”
Sure enough, I saw that the arrows of the demon clan swept in the sky like locusts, and the spiritual power of Nangong Shepherd flowed, and a golden light stopped on the city wall like a barrier.
The arrows hit the golden light and fell one after another.
Long Tianxing was full of confidence, even Nangong Lao'er went to the city to help, it seems that the lack of food and grass of the human race has caused civil strife, and with a wave of his hand, the whole army is attached to the ants to attack the city.
The 20,000 Kunlun men on the head of the city were disturbed by arrows, and they all poked out their heads, bent their bows and arrows, and shot through the lightly armored demon clan with insufficient defense.
The heavily armored foot soldiers of the demon clan began to set up a ladder to attack the city, but unfortunately, the rolling stones fell on the top of the city, and no matter how strong the bear clan was, they couldn't withstand the boulders.
The siege vehicle had already crashed into the city gate, Lu Dongzan's knife was swung out again and again, the hands of the soldiers were already bloody and fleshy, and the men of Kunlun had exhausted their last strength to shoot the arrows in their hands.
The demon clan has climbed to the top of the city, Lu Dongzan led the Kunlun soldiers to rush and kill, and the demon clan has always been difficult to jump one step over the thunder pool.
Suddenly, the demon king's gluttonous huge demon body hit the golden light at the head of the city, and Nangong Faun trembled.
Even if he is a powerhouse in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, it takes a lot of spiritual power to construct this golden light, just as Nangong Faun said, from the moment he stood on the head of the city, no arrow fell on the head of the city.
In fact, because of the laws of heaven, even though Nangong Faun can shoot in Kunlun, which is vast, but he can't hurt people's lives, only if the demon clan kills the Patriarch Hall of Tianji Pavilion, he can kill the demon in the Patriarch Hall, and in the Kunlun realm, he can only stop or save people.
It is precisely because of this that Long Tianxing dared to cross the Yishui, otherwise, with the divine power of Nangong Shepherd, let alone slashing ten thousand horses with one sword, it would kill the two major demon kings of the Dragon Clan in an instant, which was also an unbearable loss for Long Tianxing.
Beads of sweat were already on the forehead of Nangong Faun, and the golden light at the head of the huge city was slowly fading, especially under the impact of the huge demon bodies of the two demon kings, Tao Tao and Han Qi, he couldn't hold on for long.
