Chapter Ninety-Four: The Overlord of One Party (Part II)
While Han Xin admired Zhennan Wang Yunxiao's large-scale expedition plan, he also had an unknown secret in his heart, that is, the number of soldiers killed in battle was surprising.
This newly rising generation of military generals of the Great Jin Dynasty did not know that Yunxiao, the king of Zhennan who served him, had mastered a city of vain death, and had also built a soul platform.
At this moment, Yunxiao didn't realize that his actions had attracted the attention of the Heavenly Realm, and these were all spies from the Sea Clan. Since the disappearance of the Sea Clan, the Shark Monster Keta and other Sea Clans, the West Sea Sea Clan has secretly sent several members to infiltrate the Great Jin Dynasty, especially to conduct a detailed investigation specifically for the new Zhennan Wang Yunxiao.
The Great Jin Dynasty united with the Great Qin Empire and the Great Qi to form a coalition army, and completely captured Zhao and Wei within half a year, which immediately caused an uproar as soon as the news came out.
Among them, the strongest reaction was the barbarian state adjacent to the Northern Yan Empire, the barbarian emperor considered himself the leader of the barbarian tribes, and sent envoys to the three kingdoms to protest against the fact that the three kingdoms jointly sent troops to destroy Zhao Wei, which the three kingdoms did not pay attention to at all.
After Yunxiao got the information from the barbarian country, according to the information obtained from the investigation of all parties, he came to a conclusion, that is, Zhao Wei and Zhao Wei did privately make some kind of agreement, and this agreement also had a lot to do with the barbarian country.
Finally, after the Great Jin Dynasty overthrew the Zhao State, a large number of secret documents about Zhao Wei's collusion with the Barbarian State were found from the Zhao Dynasty's chamber, which showed that Zhao Wei planned to unite the Barbarian State to capture the Northern Yan Empire and the Great Qi, and then raise troops to the south to sweep away the Great Jin and Chu States, and finally deal with the Great Qin in the northwest.
For this reason, Zhao Wei secretly turned the war into a jade silk, and according to the funding of the barbarian state to expand the armament, Yunxiao formed a coalition army to destroy Zhao Wei and the two countries, the barbarian country has gathered a million troops to prepare for the attack.
Fortunately, the information was obtained in time, and the Northern Yan Empire and the Great Qi made preparations for battle, and the Great Qin Empire, in order to avoid the barbarians from launching a major war sooner or later, proposed that the coalition forces immediately march north and defeat the barbarians.
So the army of the Great Qin Empire entered the Northern Yan Empire to the north and garrisoned the western part of the barbarian state; the Great Jin Dynasty sent troops to Daqi headed by the king of Zhennan, and the troops were gathered in the south of the barbarian country, and the Great Qi gathered troops and the Chen soldiers of the Northern Yan Empire and the foot of Yan Mountain.
The barbarian emperor did not expect the southern countries to move so quickly, his army had just been assembled, and the armies of the Great Qin Empire, the Great Jin Dynasty, the Northern Yan Empire and the Great Qi were surrounded from the east, west and south.
The barbarian emperor knew that it was difficult to win, so he secretly sent sorcerers to Shikoku to try to assassinate important generals of Shikoku, but was planned by Yunxiao to send an army of monks to destroy the barbarian sorcerers in one fell swoop.
In order to appease the anger of the four countries, he sent envoys to bow down, and as a result, Yunxiao led the ironclad cavalry to attack more than 3,000 miles day and night, resurrecting the barbarian emperor, and the barbarians' dream of establishing a powerful empire was completely shattered.
Due to the loss of the steppe, a place to recuperate, the satisfaction was forced to retreat northward, and gradually divided into the Xirong people, the northern barbarians, and the Eastern Liao people, and these three tribes often went to war and conquered each other, and the descendants of the barbarians were no longer able to conquer the southern countries.
"Master, we already have enough troops to take Xiyuan City in one fell swoop!"
In the city of the dead in vain, the ghost shadow came with the news, and Yunxiao immediately took Xiaoqing and other partners to set off for the city of the dead in vain, and the city of the dead had gathered hundreds of thousands of ghosts at this time, preparing to go to the underworld through the portal and capture a small city in the underworld that they had planned for a long time, Xiyuan City.
The scale of Xiyuan City is much smaller than that of the Dead City, but most of the ghosts that survive in it are high-level ghost soldiers, ghost generals, and more than ten ghost kings, since the ghost emperor of Xiyuan City and the ghost emperor of the nearby Shahe City fell many years ago, there has been no new ghost emperor to succeed to the throne, so the Xiyuan City without the ghost emperor has become the weakest ghost city on the periphery of the underworld Xizhou.
At first glance, the ghosts in Nishihara Castle look no different from the humans in the human world, and they only reveal the characteristics of ghosts when they are fighting, which is very different from the ghosts that have just become ghosts in the city of vain death.
On a hill a hundred miles away from Xiyuan City, Yunxiao surveyed the terrain with a ghost, and the ghost pointed to a high slope away from Xiyuan City and said:
"Master, where do I plan to put the thunderbolt cannon to completely destroy the city defense of Xiyuan City and reduce our troop losses!"
"No, Ghost, our real target this time is not Xiyuan City, but the adjacent Sand River City!"
"What?" the ghost looked at his master in bewilderment.
"There has been no ghost emperor in Xiyuan City for so many years, the city has been dilapidated, and the ghosts left here are mostly guys who have no place to take except for a few ghost kings, and it doesn't make much sense for us to capture here, but to capture the most powerful Shahe City of this generation, which can give us an advantage in Xizhou!"
After listening to his master's thoughts, the ghost then said:
"Master, Shahe City is far stronger than we imagined, not to mention that the Ghost Emperor in the city is already close to the strength of the Heavenly Ghost Emperor, it is too difficult to defeat him!"
"Ghost, you're wrong, we don't need to defeat it, because I have what it wants!"
In order to get Shahe City, Yunxiao secretly contacted the sworn enemy of the ghost emperor Du Wei of Shahe City, a ghost emperor Zhao Xiong who lost the battle with Du Wei for the position of the city lord of Shahe City.
Zhao Xiong didn't want to take refuge in any city, so he became a wandering ghost emperor, and a year ago, when Yunxiao took Wu Qianjun out to survey the underworld, he fought a big battle with Zhao Xiong.
Wu Qianjun easily defeated Zhao Xiong because of his powerful weapons and Yunxiao's cooperation, and Zhao Xiong saw that Yunxiao was not a ghost, and immediately guessed the purpose of his coming to the underworld, so he told Yunxiao the secret of Shahe City.
Zhao Xiong wanted to get a treasure in Shahe City, so he proposed to join forces with Yunxiao, at the cost that Yunxiao could get a complete Shahe City, as well as the surrounding ghost cities under the control of Shahe City.
"Master, what is your plan this time?"
"Ghost Shadow, we pretend to attack Xiyuan City, and I will release a fake news at that time to attract the Ghost Emperor Du Wei of Shahe City to come to the rescue of Xiyuan City, and then we will ambush him halfway!"
In order to be able to attract Du Wei, the city lord of Sand River City, to leave Sand River City, Yunxiao ordered Wu Qianjun to travel in the underworld for more than a year and found a treasure comparable to the water of the underworld - the Blood Essence Fruit.
The Blood Essence Fruit can increase the chance of the Ghost Emperor advancing to the Heavenly Ghost Emperor, and the Ghost Emperor Du Wei, who is at the critical moment of advancement, will definitely be tempted by this matter, so the next plan will be implemented.
First of all, Wu Qianjun arrived at Xiyuan City as a ghost emperor disguised as a ghost king, and found the largest auction house in Xiyuan City, the largest auction house in Xiyuan City, the Xiyuan City branch of the Great Western Prefecture Auction House.
The Great Western Auction House is the largest auction house in Western Prefecture, almost monopolizing the auction market in Western Prefecture, this time Lu Chengjun, the director of the Great Western Prefecture Auction House in Xiyuan City, was so happy that he almost went crazy when he learned that someone had brought a rare treasure in the underworld for auction.
Lu Chengjun knew very well the value of the Blood Essence Fruit, if it weren't for the fear that the news of the Blood Essence Fruit would leak out, he would definitely send someone to send the Blood Essence Fruit to the headquarters in Tiandu, the largest city in Xizhou.
In order to avoid accidents in this auction of blood essence fruits, Lu Chengjun hired the ghost emperor Zhao Xiong, who was alias He Sheng, to be a temporary auction house guard.
"My lord, the auction is ready, and the city lords of the surrounding big cities have all received our invitations, and they all say that they will come as promised!"
"Well, you did a good job, and when the auction is over, Lu will reward you in all kinds of ways!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Lu Chengjun looked at the busy subordinates in the auction hall very happily, this time he didn't expect that another powerhouse in the human world planned to get involved in the big city of the underworld and wanted to cooperate with him.
Lu Chengjun didn't care about Yunxiao's cooperation suggestion, and his comrades-in-arms Shahe City had no impact on him, but he was very dissatisfied with Du Wei, the current city lord of Shahe City.
Ever since Du Wei built Shahe City into the largest main city in the nearby area, he has been coveting the high profits of each auction held by the auction house in Daxi Prefecture.
In order to develop Shahe City, Du Wei is now overstretched, so he also opened an auction house himself, and the nearby ghost city lord was surprised by his strength, so he had to participate in the auction he held in Shahe City.
Just two hours before the auction held by the branch of the Great Xizhou Auction House in Xiyuan City, Du Wei, the city lord of Shahe City, mobilized heavy troops to gather outside Xiyuan City, preparing to forcibly break through Xiyuan City and snatch the Blood Essence Fruit.
Yunxiao knew this well, he didn't expect the Blood Essence Fruit to be so important to Du Wei, and he didn't need to do anything else at all, Du Wei left Shahe City with his elite troops.
For this reason, Yunxiao decided to divide the army into two ways, the main force was under the leadership of Ghost Shadow and Xiaoqing to infiltrate Shahe City, after he took General Ying and Wu Qianjun to trap Du Wei, and after he united with Zhao Xiong to kill Du Wei, Ghost Shadow could take the opportunity to join forces inside and outside to occupy Shahe City without blood.
Du Wei's army of ghosts gathered in the east of Xiyuan City, and happened to fall into the ambush circle of the army under the command of Yunxiao, Du Wei was originally victorious, but he did not expect that Yunxiao from the human world had a treasure that was rare in the underworld - the soul chariot.
Lu Chengjun received the news from Yunxiao and learned that Du Wei had dispatched a large army and was ready to contribute to Xiyuan City to snatch the Blood Essence Fruit, and he was immediately shocked, once the Blood Essence Fruit fell in Xiyuan City, it would become Du Wei's bag, and he would be sentenced to death by the adults at the headquarters.
In order to avoid the smooth running of this auction specially held for the Blood Essence Fruit, Lu Chengjun lent all the eight powerful ghost kings under his command to Yunxiao, so that Yunxiao had more bargaining chips to complete the victory of this battle.
Outside Xiyuan City, Du Wei found that the defenders at the head of Xiyuan City were waiting for him, knowing that the news had leaked and the sneak attack plan had failed, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to start a strong attack.
With Dewey's order, thousands of catapults began to throw huge siege bombs, but because Lu Chengjun got the news in advance and asked the city lord of Xiyuan City to open the shield of Xiyuan City, the previous waves of siege bombs failed to cause any damage to Xiyuan City.
Seeing this scene, Du Wei was annoyed and angry, he knew the importance of the Blood Essence Fruit, and once the shield of Xiyuan City was opened, it would take at least three days for the catapult to smash through the city defenses of Xiyuan City alone, and he didn't have so much time to wait.
Once the news of his storming Xiyuan City spreads, the surrounding big city lords will also send troops to rob it, and it is not yet known who the blood essence fruit will fall into at that time, not to mention that he can't afford to provoke the powerful Daxi Prefecture Auction House, he must destroy Xiyuan City before the matter is completely revealed.
In order to ensure that he could get the blood essence fruit, Du Wei finally issued an order for a full-scale siege of the city, and the army of 200,000 ghosts and creatures was drawn one after another, except for the garrison troops that protected the catapults, he sent out all the elite troops he brought out this time.
Soon Du Wei's army approached Xiyuan City, Xiyuan City was assisted by the Yunxiao army, thousands of bed crossbows to defend the city, artillery fired at the same time, crossbow arrows in the sky, fireballs fell from the sky, and Du Wei's vanguard was torn open a big hole.
Seeing that the vanguard attack failed to succeed, Du Wei waved his flag, and the second and third waves of troops began to forcibly attack the city at the same time. Yunxiao stood on the conjuring chariot of more than 1,000 zhang in size, and saw a huge gap between the end and end of Du Wei's army, so he gave the order to attack Du Wei's army.
Zhao Xiong received Yunxiao's attack order at the same time, and launched an attack from the north of Du Wei's army with his friends and tens of thousands of his subordinates, while Wu Qianjun led the army to attack from the south of Du Wei, and the meeting point of the attack was the gap between the beginning and end of Du Wei's army.
Du Wei didn't expect that in less than a stick of incense, a large army appeared in the north and south of the army under his command, and there were powerful ghost emperors in both armies.
"Who is secretly calculating me, this emperor must get the blood essence fruit this time!"
Faced with an unfavorable situation, Du Wei sent a large army to continue the siege on the one hand, and on the other hand, ordered the follow-up troops to shrink the defensive line and prepare to meet the enemy's challenge.
Soon Zhao Xiong's army and Wu Qian's army were like two sharp blades piercing into Du Wei's army, and the three armies were like three groups of irrational ants, colliding and biting each other, all wanting to kill the enemy with one move.
Most of the ghost armies under the control of the clouds are ghosts that have not gone through bloody battles, and when they encounter the battle-hardened Du Wei army, they were torn apart in an instant, and the army was defeated by the counterattack of Du Wei's army.
However, these ghosts who are not afraid of death, under the powerful soul-conjuring ability of the soul chariot and the strong yin and underworld qi of the underworld, continue to resurrect and join the war again.
At the beginning, the situation was very unfavorable to Yunxiao's side, but Yunxiao, Wu Qianjun and Zhao Xiong's side had ten more ghost kings supported by Lu Chengjun, making the number of ghost kings on both sides reach two to one.
Having more ghost kings gave Yunxiao's army of ghosts a more powerful ability to conjure spirits, so after the initial heavy losses, Du Wei soon realized that he had made a fatal mistake...... (To be continued.) )
