Chapter 16: The First Entry into the Southern Regions
At this time, the Demon Sect has also been prepared, after the arrival of Qiu Tianhe, the plan of the Martial Arts Alliance has become extremely large, and it has become meaningless to recruit the Martial Arts Conference as a cover, and it has not had the effect it should have, but before the Martial Alliance gathers people from all sides, the Demon Sect has already received the news, and it is obvious that among the Martial Alliance, there are the eyes and ears of the Demon Sect, and the status is still very high.

"After the death of Guo Xiao of the Tianyi Sect, Wu Meng thought that my Holy Sect had failed to lurk, and really launched a big operation, hehe, Guo Xiao, a fool, really thought that we agreed with his plan to agree with his ideas, to put it bluntly, we just borrowed his bright son to cover up the shadows under the ambush, and his death still played a little role. ”
The person who spoke, with black hair, white temples, slender eyes, and a shining light, was the legendary long-missing Demon Sect leader, cold, arrogant, and heavenly.
In front of Leng Aotian, there stood all the masters of his subordinates, the internal strife of the Demon Sect seemed to have never existed, Dongfang Madness, Shangguan Suo, Situ Mei, Yuwen Evil, Li Xiqi, Fu Jianzhi, Liang Xiancheng, Gu Ruyan. And, if the holy hand comes, one sticks and one life.
The elite masters of the Holy Light Sect were all on the scene.
Leng Aotian looked around the next week and looked approvingly at his energetic subordinates.
"Since the collapse of the Tianyi Sect, Fu Jianzhi lost the battle in Guizhou, and Qianzhou lost Qin Baichuan, our forces in the Central Plains have been basically uprooted, and even Situ Mei, in Ziying's ten-year operation, is also about to succeed before the failure, a frustration, originally Ziying faction started, Longhu Mountain was besieged by Guo Xiao, coupled with the independence of Guizhou, the Holy Sect opened the road to Zhongzhou in the main road, my original plan was also to take Ziying first, besiege Longhu, encircle the point to send reinforcements, and force Qingyun Sect to come to help, Ziying backwater, I will make a secret plan to clear the void, with lightning speed, all take Qingyun Sect, just like when I dealt with Jingchenzi, so after winning the two major factions of Ziying and Qingyun, Wushan and Taiyi I have my own way to deal with it, Shennong is far away in Changbai, the dog guarding the door of Baoxiang Temple, there is no need to worry, so the comparison of the strength of the enemy and me is reversed, I didn't expect that the plan suddenly changed, forcing me to use this backup of the most dangerous trick. ”
"Now the spy has paid off. ”
Leng Aotian paused and raised his head very heavily.
"This time, the Martial Alliance mobilized more than half of the strength of the whole Zhongzhou to invade the Southern Regions, nineteen sects attacked, seven sects helped, and the martial arts people who joined from all over the country can be called masters, a total of more than 13,000 people. ”
Although the four kings and five elders were determined, when they heard this number, they also gasped, Zhongzhou is worthy of being called Zhongzhou, the land is dense, and the people who practice martial arts in the entire southern region may not have more than 10,000 people, and Zhongzhou martial arts, just the martial arts alliance, can draw more than 13,000 people to attack, this battle is definitely a hard battle.
"What I want to tell you is that this time the southern expedition was actually secretly promoted by me, now the enemy is strong and I am weak, and I am being guarded by the throat, and the water is slowly grinding down, one day, my southern region will be encroached upon by Zhongzhou, and the Holy Sect will become weaker and weaker, to change the ratio of strength between small countries and large countries, there is only one way, to fight a general war, a war of annihilation, and you can't fall into a meat war. Leng Aotian smiled faintly.
"Since I dare to use this strategy, then, at least, there is any hope of success, and now, what I want to discuss with you is, where to meet the enemy?"
Dongfang Mad's opinion is very simple, since Zhongzhou Wulin wants to march along Guizhou to the Southern Regions, then, directly set up an ambush at the junction of Guizhou and the Southern Regions, and give him a head-on attack, even if he can't eat it all, it is still possible to eat the vanguard of the Wumeng with the momentum of thunder.
Shangguan was suspicious but objected: "No, Guizhou to the Southern Regions, in a state of change of camp between the enemy and us, the Wumeng will definitely be on guard, with Duguhong's character, he will inevitably appear on the front line, against the Tianjianmen people led by Duguhong, I am afraid that the odds of winning are not high, even if he wins, Duguhong is repulsed, he retreats to Guizhou, and after a little rest, he can make a comeback." ”
Situ Mei and Fu Jianzhi discussed it and designated a place on the map "Broken Moon Gorge", this Broken Moon Gorge is the throat of Guizhou and the Southern Regions, and the terrain is treacherous.
"It's just that whether it can be truncated is a question. Leng Aotian already had a plan in his heart to see if his subordinates' ideas were in line with his own thoughts.
"The men and horses of the Wu Alliance, when they first entered the Southern Regions, are violent, even if you intercept their back road, they will immediately counterattack, and they will inevitably be able to open up this passage, and the price to pay at most is a bit large, although in this way, the Wu Alliance's strategy of this southern expedition will be a failure, but they can make a comeback at any time, and we can't use this trick to retreat the enemy for the second time. Leng Aotian glanced at the Holy Hand Rulai.
"Since they were in a good state when they first entered the Southern Regions, then we can only try to let them stay in the Southern Regions for a while longer, break down their fighting spirit, and then wait for them to be exhausted, and then repel them in one fell swoop, in that case, even if they retreat to the Broken Moon Gorge, I am afraid that they will not be able to break through." ”
"This is such a price is too great, in this case, it is necessary to let go of the passage from the Broken Moon Gorge to Dianchi Lake, and you can't help but fight along the way, you need to block the attack layer by layer, consume the opponent's strength, so that the opponent can retreat before reaching Dianchi Lake" Shangguan was silent for a while, and saw a weakness of this strategy.
"For the sake of the overall situation, a little sacrifice is also necessary, as long as we can annihilate this southern expeditionary army in one fell swoop, Zhongzhou Wulin will be greatly injured, and then it will be a good situation for us to attack Zhongzhou. In fact, it won't take too long, according to my estimate, the supply of so many people in the Wumeng will be very problematic, if they don't collect food on the spot, at most fifty days, they will not be able to go deeper. ”
"Kongwen will not agree to the personnel of the Martial Alliance to collect food on the spot, this is no different from the evil spirit, I am sure of this, so the next plan is so decided. ”
The strategy of the Demon Sect has been customized, but all this, on the side of the Wu Alliance, is not known, the major leaders, are still immersed in the number of people and the scale of this dispatch, such a strong strength, not to mention a southern region, even if it is an enemy of the court, there is a chance of victory. It seems that every person in the martial arts is talking about how to eradicate the Demon Sect, after the Demon Sect is destroyed, whether to set up a rudder in the Southern Regions, and even, some people are already thinking about which martial arts in the Demon Sect are extremely powerful, and they can change their faces, and after a little trimming, they will become the mastery of their own sect, and earn a place in the Zhongzhou Martial Arts.
The efficiency of Dugu Hong and Qiu Tianhe was very fast, Qiu Tianhe used the influence of Zhengyang Wuzong to get the help of the official post station, and the various gates were stationed in different places, some were south and north, some were far and near, but it only took fifteen days to mobilize people to Guizhou to converge. At this point, even Lin Batu and Zhang Tianling secretly admired.
Guizhou is a land of Yiren, and visitors from Zhongzhou are not very welcome, but fortunately, the Wushan faction seems to have occupied this piece of land, and with the help of the Wushan faction, the personnel and materials are still smoothly arranged. It's just that at the beginning of the chaos in Guizhou, it was more difficult to prepare materials locally, so we could only use the two roads of Liuzhou and Qianzhou to deploy first, and then gather at the Wushan branch in Guizhou.
After a simple integration, Duguhong and Qiu Tianhe couldn't wait to arrange for entering the Southern Regions, although Lin Batu and Zhang Tianling had certain ideas, but at this time, Duguhong had fallen into a state of excitement and could no longer listen to the advice of others.
In the first few days after entering the Southern Regions, the mood of the Martial Alliance personnel was still very high, and occasionally some people from the Demon Sect came to attack, and because everyone reacted very quickly, the enemy was easily repulsed.
What's even more exciting is that Qiu Tianhe actually transferred a court garrison of nearly 8,000 people through his own relationship to help, although the individual combat effectiveness of the army is all scum for people in the martial arts, but the overall combat ability is still very strong, Dugu Hong's face has been tight, and he also showed a smile, this time, the Demon Sect is in a catastrophe.
"Qiu Tian and that kid can still mobilize the army, this really makes me underestimate him, but even if he can transfer thousands of troops, he has to be able to use it, and the army that is useless is just a mouthpiece for eating, it seems that our plan will be changed slightly, so that it will be more suitable for this battle, but the speed of their attack is too fast, and it can't go on like this." Leng Aotian learned that the Wu League had increased his troops, and he was not angry but happy, but there was a hint of worry in the corners of his eyes.
"Hmph, I hate Tianhe, after all, I am a high-achieving student of Zhengyang Wuzong, there are not a few court officials who are willing to bet on me, transfer an army, although it took me a lot of time, but in this way, my position in the southern expedition of the Wumeng is unbreakable, Lin Batu, don't think that you have high martial arts, and if you have a good record, you can be the opposite, after all, you are a country man, I am the person who will be famous all over the world in the future, and now the commander of the Wumeng army is me, and I want to challenge my status, hehe, Dugu Hong is not Jing Yuanjia. ”
The Southern Expeditionary Army of the Wumeng went all the way forward, with the assistance of the army, there was a lot less resistance in the local area, and they were not very familiar with the battle of Wulin, but they were still very good at maintaining the locality.
"In the past few days, the speed of our breakthrough is obviously better than that of the previous days, according to this view, in less than a month, we will be able to eat the entire territory of the Demon Sect in the Southern Region, so far, the Demon Sect has not had a decent resistance, I think, since Leng Aotian disappeared, they are far from the force as in the legend. "Qiu Tianhe is high-spirited, entered the Southern Regions for more than ten days, did not encounter decent resistance, the Southern Regions are different from Zhongzhou, and there is no unified regime, once the Demon Sect is cleared, the court will send troops over, and it is not difficult to incorporate the Southern Regions into the territory of Zhongzhou.
"Except for the three factions after the fall, the other sects and factions have made a lot of gains, but they have also submitted more and more material requests. "After Qingyunzong was responsible for rescuing him, Zhang Tianling was still sent into the general camp by the Qingxu Dao Chief, and he wanted to make up for Qiu Tianhe's momentum with his steadiness, but Qiu Tianhe was not allowed to give orders at both ends, and Zhang Tianling was assigned to another important post, the logistics department. Zhang Tianling was furious and ready to leave with his sleeves up, but Lin Batu stopped him, Wumeng's southern expedition this time, either there will be no problems, if there is a problem, the biggest possibility is logistics, although this position has no say in the battle situation, but it is in the hands of Zhang Tianling, who is old and heavy, in case there is anything wrong, it is easy for him to know in advance and consider dealing with it. Zhang Tianling felt that what Lin Batu said was also reasonable, and finally responded to this mission.
"A little material, don't worry about it, the main business area of the Demon Sect is not far ahead, even if our logistics line is very long and the transportation is inconvenient, but the materials in the Demon Sect's base camp will soon be ours, there is no political power in the Southern Regions, and the civilian resources are in the hands of the sect, and the sect in the Southern Regions can be said to be a Demon Sect, so to capture the branch of the Demon Sect, it is equivalent to taking the treasury of the state and county. "Qiu Tianhe doesn't worry about the problem of supply at all, he goes out for thousands of miles to eat the enemy, this is basic common sense, and he has also put a lot of effort into understanding and studying the Southern Regions.
That's right, further into the southern region, you will have to contact the real sphere of influence of the Demon Sect, and there may indeed be a large number of materials stored in the Demon Sect branch, but in the same way, the Demon Sect can borrow the power of a domain to invade Zhongzhou many times, and where their foundation is located, it is impossible for the protective power to still look like it is not defended.
The Southern Expeditionary Army of the Wu League, with the help of the 8,000 troops of the Imperial Court, advanced extremely fast, and it seemed that the collision between the two sides was about to really begin. However, the Southern Expeditionary Army is now in high spirits, how could Leng Aotian let the two sides meet so easily?
