Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Invasion of the Western Wilderness
Qin Yi had already reached the top of the cliff.
As a deep valley, it is not easy to find a way to go up, but it is not worth mentioning compared to the various hardships experienced before. Qin Yi soon found a cave on the side of the skeleton array outside the barren mountain, which contained a spatial rift leading to the top of the cliff.
When you get to the top, it is snowing, and the surrounding area is covered with snow, and the air is fresh and pleasant.
The snow can't fall into the valley at all, and it has long melted into water in the boundless demonic aura.
There is rain at the bottom of the valley and snow at the top, but between the top and the bottom, there are two heavens and the earth.
Leaving from the rich demonic aura and killing, this feeling of seeing the light of day on earth again is really full of mixed feelings. Qin Yi rubbed his face with the snow in his hand, and happily flew south away from the border, blinking away.
After several births and deaths, his practice grew unconsciously.
In the middle stage of martial arts, the forging body is complete.
The fourth layer of the Immortal Dao Phoenix is already close to the stage where it can be used for weapons.
The double cultivation of immortals and martial arts has formed more and more appearances.
In a moment of joy, after walking for less than a hundred miles, Qin Yi's face changed a little.
There was a faint smell of blood in the fresh and pleasant wind and snow, although it was very light, but in Qin Yi's perception at this time, it was almost no different from being in front of his nose.
He hurried forward to follow the smell of blood, only to see a burned village, corpses strewn inside and outside.
Qin Yi held his breath, stepped forward and turned over a corpse to inspect it, the corpse was already frozen, this was not something that had just happened, at least it had been several days.
His gaze was fixed on the corpse's neck, a mortal wound, a scar from the scimitar passing through it.
"Invasion of the Western Wilderness!"
Qin Yi's mind exploded, the hairs on his body stood up, he quickly pasted a magic talisman, and rushed away from the fire city at a gallop.
How could it be such a time to invade?
It's going to take at least two days to go back!
Hope it's in time!
............
Nanli country, Hengshan County.
"Qiang!" Li Qingjun's spear was like a dragon, breaking into the long knife of the general in front of him, and knocking the other party off the city wall.
As soon as they were blocked by the first to ascend, the enemy forces on the left and right were already swarming.
The silver spear dances like a pear flower, bringing up a piece of blood light in the snow, which is beautiful.
More than a dozen soldiers from the Western Wilderness planted the city wall.
Li Qingjun was covered in blood, and his eyes had been stained with the blood of the enemy. She gasped slightly, wiped the blood from the corners of her eyes, and looked at the feet in front of her, which were full of corpses and broken arms, and piles of bones under the city walls.
And the enemy is all over the mountains, and there is no end in sight.
This is the Hengshan County where Qin Yi and them passed by to see the hanging list when they went out of the mountain, and it was only a day's journey from the capital to the fire, and it was the last barrier west of the fire city.
Li Qingjun had been here for three days and three nights, and the blood had already dyed the light armor red.
The Western Wilderness suddenly entered the Kou a few days after Li Qingjun exterminated the Donghua rebel party, and shocked the government and the opposition when the soldiers came. can't blame Li Qingjun, even a veteran like Xie Yuan never thought that Xihuang would choose to launch a large-scale attack in such a cold and snowy time, and was caught off guard.
This is not at all in line with military common sense. In this kind of ice and snow weather, it is extremely difficult to march and camp in the field, and the probability of freezing to death is doubled, and the city walls are slippery and ice everywhere during the siege, which is extremely unfavorable to the attacker. It's okay to fight a small-scale war in such a season, but it's amazing to raise a whole country.
The most important thing is that there is no alarm at the border, and even the wolf smoke is not visible......
Of course, there is no other reason, just because the border generals have already surrendered to the enemy, and the big switch card allows the enemy to enter the country.
Li Qingjun was very sad in his heart.
She has not been involved in politics for a short time, so she naturally knows the situation very well. Nanli has been terminally ill for many years by his father and Donghuazi, not only is he in arrears, but he has also installed people from the Western Wilderness in the border army, and it is not incomprehensible that the border general will rebel. originally expected Li Qinglin to put things in order and deal with them quickly, but Li Qinglin ......
It can't be said that Li Qinglin didn't do anything, he did do some progressive measures, but it was not enough.
Some of the things he did could only be regarded as a passable king in ordinary years at best, and he could barely be praised as a wise lord in peacetime, but this was too far from what people expected of him, from his former pride, and from the performance he should have had.
In fact, he didn't do as much serious things as Li Qingjun, and more often, Li Qinglin was just cultivating. This made Li Qingjun want to convince himself forcibly, but his brother couldn't convince him just because he was old and had no energy.
Li Qingjun himself is inexperienced and incapable, and he has no power to return to the sky in such a short period of time, and before he has time to free up his hands to govern the border army, the Western Wilderness has already driven straight into this cold winter season.
Nanli was too small, and as soon as the border defense was opened, the enemy army had already commanded Hengshan County within a few days. Fortunately, at this time, Li Qinglin reacted quickly, and immediately sent the veteran Xie Yuan to lead an elite gallop to Hengshan County, so that the Western Wilderness army was blocked outside Hengshan County, and the enemy was not allowed to directly enter the Beijing Division.
Li Qinglin quickly ordered Li Qingjun to reorganize the army and rush to Hengshan County to help, and then finally the stalemate was settled.
These two orders prove that Li Qinglin is not completely unconscious, but how long can he keep it like this?
The reason why the enemy would invade this winter was also quickly clear, and they had several wizards who were able to dry out the walls, and the disadvantages of the siege in the snow and ice were much more than negated.
In the past, they didn't have this ability, and they didn't know if it was because they had secretly pondered some new spells over the years, or because of Donghuazi's credit.
The enemy has been planning for many years, vigorously fighting and preparing for all kinds of war, and this time the whole country has been mobilized, and the army is all over the mountains.
And what about your own side?
The two kings were cultivators, the treasury was empty, the government was corrupt, the army had no fighting spirit, and even the people were indifferent, without any enthusiasm to resist as one.
As soon as the border army is lost, Nanli's most elite combat power is already here, if she Li Qingjun can't hold it, Nanli will be destroyed!
Under the Chinese army in the city, the prince of the Western Wilderness looked up to the sky and smiled: "Why should Princess Zhaoyang bother to support? This king's love for the princess has never changed, if the princess opens the city gate, this king will make the princess the queen, and from now on the people of the south are also the people of this prince, and the two countries will merge and govern together, isn't it a good story?"
Li Qingjun opened his bow and arrows without saying a word, and with a "whoosh" sound, the arrows were like meteors, and the strong arrow qi overturned the cover of the battle.
Bi Zhan sank his face and sneered: "Do you really think you can hold it? This Hengshan County has never been prepared for war, and it is not a complete defense line at all. This king has already sent generals to make a detour and attack Lihuo City, and then this Hengshan County will be a lonely city, and you can't get it even if you want to be a slave!"
Li Qingjun pursed her lips tightly, the veteran Xie Yuan had already told her about this possibility, but she couldn't do anything. The opponent's forces are far exceeded, and they can have the initiative so much.
I can only hope that Brother Wang can cheer up and wipe out all the enemy troops who are making a detour under the Lihuo City.
Bi Zhan knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "This king knows that although Li Qinglin is already unconscious, he is not a fool, and it is not easy to dismiss." Therefore, this army that rushed to leave the fire was the most elite bloody army in our country, commanded by General Bi You, and the army was accompanied by famous generals in a hundred battles. If they are here, I'm afraid your Princess Zhaoyang won't be so easy. How, isn't this king very pitiful? ha......"
Li Qingjun finally changed color.
No wonder I haven't met a really powerful enemy general in the past three days, the other party is also mainly besieged, and it turns out that the real elite is not here.
It's really good here, and the most elite army in Nanli led by himself may not be able to defeat the city under the fortification. In this cold winter season, it is difficult for the other party to camp, and there is still hope that the other party will be dragged down for a few days. But the remaining army in Fire City is far less elite than now, and with the current state of his brother, can he really compete with the most fierce strong generals led by the famous marshal of the Western Wilderness?
For a while, Li Qingjun even regretted it a little, it was better to give up this line of defense in the first place and live and die with Lihuo...... Is my brother's seemingly decisive order wrong?
He didn't say anything more, and waved his right hand.
The trumpets sounded, and another wave of attacks rushed to the city gates.
It's putting pressure on yourself to get out of the fire. Li Qingjun looked at the enemy troops all over the mountains and fields, and he was tired for a while.
Qin Yi's figure flashed in his heart.
Are you still looking for a solution to the curse......
You made an appointment within half a year, and you may never have thought that Nanli wouldn't be able to survive even two months.
