In early April, news came from the north that the Big Tooth Army suddenly appeared in the Black Forest and then invaded Baiyun City.
Some people saw the Big Tooth Army emerging from the bottom of the lake, so they concluded that the Big Tooth Army might have entered the Black Forest from underground through the dry underground river without anyone noticing. A distance of several thousand kilometers from Daya to the Black Forest, such a long underground river is simply unbelievable, but it is not impossible.
Then news came one after another that the Daya Army broke into pieces after leaving the Black Forest, and fled everywhere to cause chaos, burning, killing, looting, and all the way south, burning the flames of war into Haoyue City and Jincheng.
The Daya army was broken into pieces like rogue bandits, killing people and looting everywhere. Although they did not capture a single city or pool, they caused panic among the people in the three cities. The people were already suffering under the torture of drought, but the panic caused by the Daya Army became the straw that broke the camel's back. For a time, refugees began to appear everywhere, congesting major transportation arteries.
The traffic jams seriously affected the speed of the soldiers' attacks. Every time they learned about the presence of the Daya Army and went to encircle and suppress them, they finally arrived at the location and found that the Daya Army had already disappeared. On the contrary, it added more time to the Daya Army's wandering crimes. In order to ensure safety, perhaps this is what the Daya army wanted to achieve by committing crimes.
This month has been full of news that seems innocuous but makes people uneasy. It was not until the evening of the 26th that an urgent letter was delivered to Qi Wuwei's desk in the city lord's palace, making the situation suddenly tense.
The secret letter was written by Qin Zhenghao, the lord of Baiyun City, informing Qi Wuwei that more than one million Big Ya troops had been assembled in the Black Forest, including many siege troops, and several Star Realm powerful men were stationed in the army, which showed that the Big Ya troops had a big plan. Fortunately, the defenders of Baiyun City have firmly occupied the three key points in and out of the Black Forest, and a battle is inevitable.
Qin Zhenghao said that he had asked for help from the cities in the north and the imperial capital, but he was worried that the reinforcements might not arrive in time. If the millions of big tooth troops gathered in the Black Forest were to rush out of the Black Forest, Baiyun City would be the first to bear the brunt. By then, the strength of the two sides would be very different, and it would be difficult to hold on. It will be captured in a few days.
Why Qin Zhenghao was worried that the reinforcements would not arrive in time, he did not clearly explain in the secret letter, but Qi Wuwei knew what he meant. He suspected that someone was collaborating with the enemy to hinder it.
Especially at the end of the secret letter, Qin Zhenghao wrote three cautions in a row. Each of these three cautions was heavier than the last, fully revealing his extreme inner uneasiness.
As for what to be careful about, he said nothing.
It may be that he noticed something unusual, but was not sure, so he did not dare to make a conclusion. It may also be that he was afraid that the secret letter would be intercepted and did not dare to say anything clearly.
A million-strong army crossed Yancheng's line of defense and appeared in the hinterland of the southern border. Qi Wuwei did not dare to be careless because of this, because if these million-strong army were all elite troops of the Daya Army, they would already be enough to pose a threat to Yancheng. If someone else collaborates with the enemy and provides this million-strong army with sophisticated equipment and siege equipment, it will become even more terrifying.
Qi Changkong was ordered to inspect Yanbei, carefully check for any troubles, and beware of the outposts of the Daya Army entering Yanbei, so as to prepare a front station for the million-strong army that was about to break out of the Black Forest. However, he never expected that he would be attacked by the Daya Army on the second day of the inspection. .
Three hundred people were ambushed by fifty. Although there was a huge disparity in numbers, there was also a huge disparity in combat power. In just two rounds of fighting between the two sides, the three hundred soldiers led by Qi Changkong lost more than ten people, while the Daya Army lost more than ten people. Only one of the fifty people was slightly injured.
Qi Changkong's heart immediately thumped, and he suddenly discovered that the fifty people with the lowest cultivation level were all at the fourth level of the Sea Realm. He couldn't even see through the person with the highest cultivation level, and he was probably at least at the seventh level of the Sea Realm. Moreover, the moves of these fifty men were all concise and brutal, using common killing techniques in the military. You can tell at a glance that they are fierce generals on the battlefield.
"withdraw!"
As soon as they fought, they made a judgment. Qi Changkong didn't dare to fight, so he immediately issued an order to retreat. But the fifty big-toothed men refused to let go, so Qi Changkong could only lead his men to retreat while fighting. However, due to the huge disparity in strength, personnel were lost very quickly. Within five miles, nearly fifty corpses of soldiers were left behind.
Qi Changkong was filled with grief and anger, and was secretly worried. He knew that if things continued like this, people like him would be wiped out by these fifty big-toothed dogs before they even saw the shadow of Yancheng.
He wanted to make everyone break into pieces and flee for their lives, one by one, but no one was willing to leave him, because they could all see that these big-toothed dogs were obviously coming for Qi Changkong, and they would rather fight to death. Nor did he want to leave his leader and run away. Especially when facing a big-toothed dog, he would rather die than lose the integrity of the Dayu people.
"Fight to the death!"
Since there is no escape, the only option is to fight to the death.
Qi Changkong gave an order, and the two sides collided head-on again. The ambition to be trapped in a battle will lead to death but not life.
It was a life-and-death battle that was extremely brutal. The battle finally ended with Qi Changkong being seriously injured and unconscious, and the confrontation turned into a pursuit and escape battle again. Some people risked their lives to stay behind and buy Qi Changkong time to escape. In the end, Qi Changkong, who was seriously injured and unconscious, was led by his guards to escape into Baihuang Mountain.
When Qi Changkong woke up, it was already the next morning, and saw that there were only about fifty people left around him. He was filled with grief and anger, and was so angry that he coughed several large mouthfuls of blood. He grabbed a silver pendant from his neck and threw it hard on the stone. The jade-like pendant was shattered into pieces.
If Qi Changkong and Wan Qiuqing saw this scene here, they would be shocked from ear to ear, because this silver pendant is what they trust, and they believe that Qi Changkong will not be in danger of his life. Blind Uncle A magical power. And they had no idea that the silver pendant hanging around Qi Changkong's neck had been replaced by Qi Changkong a long time ago. The silver pendant that truly sealed the blind uncle's magical power was hidden in the closet of his bedroom.
The reason why Qi Changkong did this was because the blind uncle told him clearly when he gave him the silver pendant that although the silver pendant could keep him safe, it would not be beneficial to his mental growth and personal experience, because his consciousness Li will become dependent on the silver pendant, so he is specifically told to take it off and stop wearing it after the war is over.
Qi Changkong has always been proud and arrogant. Hearing that the silver pendant was not helpful to his cultivation, he secretly went to the craftsman's workshop to make an identical silver pendant to wear, in order to confuse Qi Wuwei and Wan Qiuqing and make them feel at ease.
Undoubtedly, looking at the smashed counterfeit products at this moment, Qi Changkong felt regretful. If he had been wearing the blind uncle's magical power, none of the three hundred soldiers might have died.
However, there is no regret medicine in the world, so Qi Changkong could only run away with his only fifty remaining defeated soldiers. He wanted to run towards Yancheng, but the other party obviously knew what he was thinking and didn't give him a chance at all, forcing him to the northwest.
