late at night.
A fast horse from the imperial court rushed into the military camp outside Zhuxian City.
The person who came was a young eunuch from the Chengxuan Department. He called upon His Majesty to ask for a meeting with Mu Yan.
Mu Yan dragged his seriously injured body and summoned the young eunuch.
"Marshal Mu Yanmu accepts the order."
"The empress ordered Marshal Mu to lead the three armies and retreat to the imperial city of Beijing and Zhou Dynasty. This is a quick retreat. I appreciate this!"
The little eunuch looked at Mu Yan and blurted out.
Mu Yan, Mao Junchen, Chen Hu and others were slightly stunned.
The army withdraws to Beijing and Zhou Dynasty?
Isn't the imperial court finished?
Mu Yan stared at the little eunuch and said, "Little father-in-law, is that all the empress said?"
The young eunuch sighed and said: "Marshal Mu, the situation is over. It is impossible for the imperial army to stop King Yongshan's army. The empress does not want to see the soldiers of the three armies sacrifice innocently, so she specially asked the young eunuch to come and send a message to the marshal."
Hearing this, Mu Yan took a deep breath. Of course he knew that the army could not stop King Yongshan, and he wanted everyone to withdraw to Zhuxian City and return to Beijing and Zhou Dynasty.
But I heard that King Anshan still had 100,000 cavalry outside the city of Beijing and Zhou.
"Are King Anshan's 100,000 cavalry still there outside Jingzhou City?" Mu Yan asked.
"We are still here. Master Lu is guarding the imperial city. King Anshan's hundred thousand cavalry dare not attack the imperial city." The young eunuch said.
"Lu Ning...!"
Mu Yan murmured, a bright light flashed slightly in his eyes, and then his eyes dimmed again.
In this situation, even Lu Ninglai could not reverse the situation.
Why let Lu Ning come to the battle to die?
However, Chen Hu looked at the little eunuch and asked: "I heard that King Anshan has a second-grade strongman beside him. Is Mr. Lu injured?"
The little eunuch shook his head, and then said with joy: "How could Mr. Lu be injured? He killed the Black Dragon King in the East China Sea with one sword and one man. King Anshan was so frightened that he withdrew a hundred miles away with 100,000 cavalry. He didn't even dare to camp. out."
Hearing this, inside the camp, Mu Yan and others' eyes widened.
"Kill the Black Dragon Emperor with one sword?" Mu Yan's face was filled with shock.
"Isn't it? Mr. Lu is really brave and invincible. Who doesn't admire Mr. Lu in the imperial city now? He suppressed the Tianlao riot and killed the Black Dragon Emperor with one sword. He is so powerful."
When the young eunuch talked about Lu Ning, his face was full of excitement, and finally he said regretfully: "It's a pity that Mr. Lu has to guard the imperial city and cannot come to the battlefield, otherwise he will definitely defeat King Yongshan's army."
What you say is unintentional, but what you hear is intentional.
Mu Yan pondered, and for a moment, he turned around and sat in front of the desk, writing a letter for the young eunuch to take back to the palace overnight.
The next day.
The second day of June.
Experience: 134.9 million points.
There is still more than 20 million experience needed to perfect "Golden Leifer".
What Lu Ning wants to improve now is not his cultivation, but his actual combat ability.
His cultivation and physique are already capable of suppressing half-step first-level players. He can be said to be an invincible existence below first-level players, as long as he improves his magical powers and techniques to a perfect state.
Or if he integrates magical powers and upgrades, his actual combat power will be raised to a higher level, not to mention rivaling a first-level powerhouse.
At least one of the first rank can kill anyone.
But two days later, he can fuse two Buddhist magical powers and obtain a new Buddhist magical power.
Go to Tianji Tower and check the news.
First, Pei Tianbei killed Wen Xing at Fengwu Mountain, and the 170,000 silver-armored troops surrendered. Then he led 3,000 black tiger cavalry straight to Sangzhou, presumably to raid Zhang Lin.
As long as it succeeds, Beimang Tiefutu will be able to surrender the Silver Armor Army.
The second news is that the young eunuch passed an oral message to Mu Yan. The young eunuch returned to Beijing overnight and has not arrived yet.
For the third piece of news, Lu Ning took a look and raised his lips slightly. He saw the note saying: 500,000 cavalry from the Five Kingdoms Alliance in the Western Regions have arrived in Xiliang.
After reading it, the mysterious fire in Lu Ning's palm burned all the notes.
Lu Ning walked out of the Tianji Tower with a frown. The five countries in the Western Regions had been planning for today's war as early as when the empress ascended the throne and the five countries came to express their condolences to Emperor Ming Wu.
Luo Yuenv, Wan Qifeng and others brought cavalry, all of them elite, with combat power comparable to the Black Tiger Cavalry and the Flying Dragon Cavalry.
Half a million cavalry is enough.
"It will take at least three days to get to Zhuxian City from Xiliang. I hope Mu Yan can withstand the three days."
Lu Ning murmured and headed to the palace.
…
Zhuxian City.
Mu Yan originally planned to withdraw his troops, but he decided to take a gamble.
No withdrawal.
Change coach.
Replace Lu Ning as the commander and have a final battle with King Yongshan.
In the early morning, he was just about to hold a military meeting.
A soldier came to report: "Marshal, the master of the Spring and Autumn Sect has come with his disciples to help in the battle!"
When Mu Yan heard about the Spring and Autumn Sect, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he still strode out of the tent and personally invited the Master of the Spring and Autumn Sect to bring his disciples to the camp.
Chunqiu Sect, a sect that was glorious for an era three thousand years ago.
Even if it declines, the inheritance has not been interrupted for three thousand years.
The current owner of the Spring and Autumn Sect is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his fifties. He has a beard and is dressed in blue. He looks very elegant.
His name is Li Jingxuan, he is in the early stage of the third level and has the same cultivation level as Mu Yan.
"Master Li, thank you for bringing your disciples to help. Please rest in the camp first." Mu Yan said enthusiastically.
Li Jingxuan said very little, just nodded, and led more than fifty disciples to the camp with the soldiers.
Mu Yan went to convene a military meeting. The general idea was to ask all the soldiers to fight to the death in Zhuxian City. If they lasted for one day, there might be a turn for the better.
At this moment, Zuo Hongchen walked into the camp with an old man.
Mu Yan stood up hurriedly and looked at the old man.
There is only one strong second-grade sword cultivator in the Zuo family in Qingzhou, Zuo Xici.
"Junior Mu Yan, greet Senior Zuo." Mu Yan quickly stepped forward and saluted.
Mao Junchen, Chen Hu, Gu Wushuang and others also stepped forward to salute.
Zuo Xici waved his hand, held Mu Yan back and said, "Marshal Mu, there is no need to be polite."
"Regarding this battle, my Zuo family supports the imperial army. All the members of the fifth rank and above in the family have come and obey the orders of Marshal Mu."
"Very good!"
Mu Yan was overjoyed when he heard this. Zuo Xici's joining gave him hope.
"General Zuo, I order you to take Senior Zuo and other Zuo family guests to the camp next door for a short rest. After I have finished the meeting, I will discuss it with you in detail."
Mu Yuan looked at Zuo Hongchen and ordered him to take the lead.
"It's the marshal."
Zuo Hongchen nodded, looked at Zuo Xici beside him and said, "Ancestor, come with me."
Zuo Xici glanced at everyone and left with Zuo Hongchen.
moment.
Mu Yan ended the military meeting. The main content was to block King Yongshan's army from passing Zhuxian City from three sides.
After it was over, he went to find Zuo Xici.
At this time, an old man appeared in the camp with a group of disciples in purple clothes, making Mu Yan slightly stunned: "Purple Sun Sect?"
You can tell by looking at the disciples' clothes that they are from the Ziyang Sect.
Looking at the old leader, is he the old master of Ziyang Sect?
"Master, why are you here?"
Lin Jian walked out of a tent and looked at the old master of Ziyang Sect.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yan quickly stepped forward and saluted the old leader of the Ziyang Sect: "Senior, what are you...!?"
The old sect leader of Ziyang Sect, Zhao Changcheng, is over three hundred years old and is considered to be a very strong person among the second-grade cultivation.
He glanced at Lin Jian, then stared at Mu Yan and said: "I have brought the elders and disciples of the sect to help Marshal Mu."
Hearing this, Mu Yan was overjoyed: "Senior Zhao, please come quickly!"
Zhao Changcheng is also here, so it should be no problem to withstand King Yongshan's army for a day.
Mu Yan invited Zhao Changcheng into the big tent, and then went to personally invite Zuo Xici, Baiyun Temple Master and others.
In the big tent.
When the leader of Baiyun Temple saw Zuo Xici and Zhao Changcheng coming, a smile appeared on his face and he stepped forward to greet them.
"You're welcome, Master." Zuo Xici handed over his hand.
"We haven't seen each other for fifty years, but the master's style remains the same!" Zhao Changcheng smiled and stared at the master Baiyun.
"Calculating the time, I have indeed not seen him in fifty years." The master of Baiyun Temple chuckled.
In fact, she is considered a junior in front of Zuo Xici and Zhao Changcheng, but she has a high level of cultivation and has a life span of more than a hundred years, so she is considered an equal.
After a while, the Soldier Saint and the Calligrapher Saint also walked into the camp and saw two more second-grade experts.
The Soldier Saint smiled and said: "With the help of two seniors, we should be able to hold back King Yongshan."
"It turns out to be the Soldier Saint of Confucius Academy." Zuo Xici and Zhao Changcheng nodded.
Mu Yan said hurriedly: "Seniors, please take a seat. I will ask everyone to gather together and discuss whatever you have to say."
Hearing this, everyone sat down and looked at Mu Yan.
Mu Yan took a deep breath and said: "Seniors, there are nine second-level experts in King Yongshan's camp. We currently have six, three less than them."
"Although there are many of them, there are not many who are really powerful. For example, the master of Xuannv Palace, the elder of Taichu Jianmen Feng Chen, the deputy master of Shengwu Hall are only in the early stage of the second rank, and the monk Yuantong is also in the early stage of the second rank. "
"There were four of them and we only had one."
Saying that, Mu Yan glanced at Lin Jian.
Lin Jian is at the early stage of the second level, and the rest of them, except for the Book Sage Wang Xi, are almost all in the late second level. Although the Soldier Sage is as fast as the first level, he still has no advantage over Confucianism and Martial Arts.
"This is what I think. If King Yongshan's army attacks today, Senior Zuo will fight against Palace Master Xuannv and Taichu Sword Sect Feng Chen, one on two."
"Senior Zhao fights against Monk Yuantong and Zong Zhengming, the deputy leader of Shengwu Hall."
"There are only five people left around King Yongshan, Lin Jian versus Bai Ze."
"Senior Book Saint versus Scorpio Demon."
"Master Baiyun Temple and Senior Soldier Saint can stop three people, Zhu Qingyun, Ji Fengyang, and Ba Zong's deputy sect leader Cui Shan."
Mu Yan looked at the Master of Baiyun Temple and the Soldier Saint.
Hearing this, Soldier Sage Zhuge Xiangru said: "I will stop Zhu Qingyun and Cui Shan, and Lord Baiyun will stop Ji Fengyang."
Mu Yan nodded heavily and said: "Thank you, seniors, we only need to block it for two days, and the imperial army may have a chance to reverse."
Zhuge Xiangru and others stared at Mu Yan. Judging from the current situation, the addition of Zuo Xici and Zhao Changcheng could indeed stop the pace of King Yongshan's army.
But how could King Yongshan's 600,000-strong army be blocked by 177,000 cavalrymen who were fighting to the death?
What's more, outside the city of Jingzhou, King Anshan also brought 100,000 cavalry. If he came to help, it would be 750,000 cavalry.
Even if they block King Yongshan's second-grade powerhouse, it is impossible for the imperial army to make a comeback.
Unless a divine weapon descends from heaven.
…
In Taichang City.
King Yongshan assembled an army and prepared to attack Zhuxian City quickly. Suddenly he heard that Zuo Xici of the Zuo family of Qingzhou was bringing his clansmen to help the imperial army. He couldn't help being angry and threatened to overthrow the empress and then destroy the Zuo family of Qingzhou with his army.
However, as soon as the anger subsided, word spread that Ziyang Sect, one of the five great immortal sects, would help the imperial army.
King Yongshan was so angry that he almost killed people. Except for the Beiming Immortal Sect, there was no movement among the five major immortal sects. The imperial army received support from Baiyun Taoist Temple and Ziyang Sect.
He was supported by Taichu Jianmen and Xuannv Palace.
In fact, with the support of Taichu Jianmen, King Yongshan felt that he could win the world.
But now there are six second-grade strong men in the imperial army. Although they are small in quantity, they are almost equal to him in quality.
What we are fighting for now is the cavalry army.
"Army, let's go!"
King Yongshan raised his sword high and shouted loudly.
Tu Chenglong immediately set off with 380,000 black dragon riders and 270,000 silver armor troops.
King Yongshan led Zhu Qingyun, Ji Fengyang and other sect disciples to form a team and ride in a chariot to Zhuxian City.
The two cities are more than a thousand kilometers apart.
The cavalry army ran wildly, crossed the Tianhe Ferry, and arrived outside Zhuxian City at noon.
They faced off against Mu Yan's army ten miles away, and the war drums soared to the sky.
Yue Xiao stood on the city wall and stared at the Silver Armored Army.
It was originally a court army, but after being controlled by King Yongshan for forty years, it became King Yongshan's soldiers.
However, this main force of the imperial court was trained by his grandfather.
How many people still remember his grandfather, King Yue?
Thinking about it, Yue Xiao erected a big flag on the city wall. On the big flag was written the Chinese character "Yue" with flying dragons and phoenixes.
The flag flutters and is extremely eye-catching.
"Mu Yan, Mu Yan, I can only help you so far."
Yue Xiao sighed lightly, turned and left.
"Look, King Yue Banner!"
Among the Silver Armored Army, a soldier suddenly pointed at the top of Zhuxian City and shouted.
The 270,000 silver-armored troops couldn't help but look. When they saw the Yue Wang Banner, their faces showed pain for a moment.
Wei Guangding, Le Yue and other silver dragons all showed solemn expressions and dismounted one after another.
He clenched his right hand into a fist and placed it on his chest. Then he knelt down on one knee in front of the flag and lowered his head.
Immediately afterwards, the 270,000 silver-armored troops dismounted and followed suit.
This scene not only made King Yongshan look angry, but also Mu Yan and others opposite him frowned.
When he looked back at Zhuxian City, Mu Yan's eyes turned red.
"Yuewang Banner!"
The Soldier Saint's eyes lit up. Once upon a time, King Yue's flag was the flag that was planted all over the Zhou Dynasty. Who didn't know it!
Yue Xiao took out King Yue's flag at this moment, just to scare the Silver Armor Army and tell the Silver Armor Army not to forget their roots.
"Everyone, get up, my king!"
King Yongshan's face was full of anger, especially Wei Guangding, Le Yue and others who took the lead in kneeling to King Yue's flag, which simply messed up his military morale.
Snapped! Snapped!
The soft whip hit Wei Guangding and Le Yue: "I asked you to get up, didn't you hear?"
The two of them remained motionless.
"Come here, pull them both out and chop them down!" King Yongshan shouted.
When Tu Chenglong heard this, he quickly tried to dissuade him: "My lord, you can't do it. It's not a good sign to kill the general in front of the formation."
"They are the Silver Armored Army. It is inevitable that they will feel heavy when they see King Yue's flag."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, even if the Silver Armored Army doesn't move out, the Black Dragon Riders can wipe out the seventeen imperial cavalry."
Hearing this, King Yongshan thought the same thing. 380,000 black dragons rode over, and the 170,000 imperial troops could not stop them.
Even so, King Yongshan still glared at Wei Guangding and the two of them:
"Hmph, you two dare to disobey my order. I will remember it for the time being and overthrew the empress. I will settle the score with you later."
As soon as the voice fell, King Yongshan ordered Tu Chenglong to start attacking the city.
"attack!"
Tu Chenglong shouted loudly.
The main battle generals of the Black Dragon Riders are Chang Wei, Bao Zhan, and Hong Dajiang.
Each led one hundred thousand black dragon riders to attack Mu Yan's army from three directions.
Tu Chenglong personally led 80,000 black dragon cavalry, took the middle position, and faced Mu Yan directly to fight.
