On the rushing Lu River, thousands of boats are crossing the river, and the canvas is covered with clouds.
Sixty-four thousand Dachu warriors, together with 20,000 navy troops, crossed the river by boat in a mighty manner, and were about to defeat the weak obstruction of Da Changhe's army on the opposite side.
The rumbling war drums sounded on each flagship ship, echoing each other, and the thunder roared, making the river tremble beneath their feet.
On the other side, the commander and the army looked at the fleet that covered the sky and was densely packed like stars, seeming to take up the entire river. All of them couldn't help but look horrified and panicked.
Living in a mountainous area, the Southwest Yi people had never seen such a navy. When they saw the Dongyang people's navy for the first time, they were shocked to realize that there could be such terrifying things above the water.
Coupled with the consecutive defeats in recent years, many soldiers had a lot of confidence in fighting. At this time, after being frightened, every one of them could not help but lose most of their courage.
"Calm down all of you."
"Don't panic. Those boats can anchor on the water. When those Dongyang people get off the shore, I will attack them halfway across the river and make them die in the mouths of fish and turtles."
"We are guarding the stronghold, with antlers and earthen walls, and we are recharging our energy. What do the mere Chu people have to fear?"
"The great wizard is behind us. He can communicate with ghosts and gods and can borrow divine power from the great gods. With the blessing of the great god Chili, we will definitely be able to defeat the Chu army in this battle."
"Give me your weapons. If anyone dares to retreat later, I will kill them with the sword in my hand."
On the west bank, officers from the Changhe Army, accompanied by their personal guards, calmed the panicked soldiers over and over again.
Under their comfort, some of the newly recruited civilian soldiers finally became much calmer, and their panic expression was reduced by half.
Seeing this situation, the officers from various ministries began to issue orders again.
"The Chu people still have some time before they land ashore. You should quickly dig more trenches, set up more antlers roadblocks, and place some bamboo sticks in the trenches. These are all good things that can save your life."
"The Chu people are coming soon. The soldiers in the first line rest where they are and recharge their batteries. Later, they will give the Chu people a head-on blow."
"The crossbowmen of each department quickly get into position, and you will launch the first attack later."
As various orders continued to be conveyed, the commander and army on the river bank continued to be busy.
The Chu people are about to land ashore, and a bloody battle is inevitable, and time is running out.
Everyone knows that they should be more busy now, arrange more, and prepare more for later. His own safety will be greater, and he will cause more damage to the Chu people.
Under the pressure of life and death, even if there were many dissatisfied people in the past, they didn't say much at this time, but started working hard.
But at this moment.
About five miles away from Lushui, on a majestic camp at the rear, there was a slightly older figure wearing a sacrificial robe. At this time, he also looked away from the front and said in a low voice: "How are the defense lines arranged everywhere? ?”
A man wearing the same clothes next to him immediately replied respectfully when he heard the question: "Back to the Great Witch Festival, the first line of defense on the river bank has been deployed. The ten thousand warriors along the line have also taken their positions, and only the Chu people are with them. Once ashore, you can give it a head-on blow.
On the second line of defense one mile behind the river bank, twenty earthen platforms have been built. According to the original layout, they are separated by a hundred feet from each other.
Three hundred archers for each earthen platform were also deployed one after another. In addition, there were ten second-rate masters and two hundred elite soldiers to assist in the defense.
Each earthen platform can echo each other and attack the enemy from two sides.
With this defense, even if thousands of Chu people came to attack, they would not be able to easily break through an earthen platform without losing thousands of corpses.
There are ten camps in the third line of defense. Nine of them have been built now, and one is still slightly unfinished, but it can be completed in a few days.
It can definitely be repaired before the Chu people attack this place. "
Although Lu Yuan led his troops to attack, Da Changheguo was caught off guard. But for the Chu people to cross the river, Da Changhejun had already predicted it.
There is no other reason. Since the New Year, a large number of soldiers and horses from all over Qianzhong County have gathered towards Ashan Mansion. A large amount of materials transported from the rear of Chu State were also accumulated and stored here.
Up to now, Ashan Prefecture has gathered three forbidden armies. Counting local and county soldiers, there are more than 60,000 people.
At the same time, two large warehouses were built on the Lushui front line and in Fucheng, stocking enough military supplies for a hundred thousand troops for half a year.
Such a large mobilization of troops, horses and supplies would be easily detectable by Dacho Waguo as long as they were not blind.
After receiving the news, they naturally would not think that the Chu people were gathering troops and hoarding supplies here just to train their troops and have a spring outing.
Without thinking too much, with a little judgement, you can tell that the Chu people are ready to give up their tacit understanding and plan to cross the river and march to the Huichuan Kingdom on the west bank.
Upon hearing this news, everyone in the country was naturally panicked and nervous.
The Kunhai area where their capital is located is currently suffering from the mad attacks of the Kunhai puppet state. The entire southern, eastern, and part of the northern areas of Kunhai have been taken away by Li Xiong after several consecutive battles.
Now Kunhai Kingdom and Daejanghe Kingdom are each gathering 100,000 troops to start a battle in Ludan City in the north of Kunhai.
Now the two countries are at war with each other, and there is no end to the war.
Just dealing with such a mad dog already made Dacho Wakuni feel exhausted.
At this time, such a bigger tiger from the Chu Kingdom suddenly showed its fangs towards him, which naturally made Dacho Kazuo terrified and terrified.
But the enemy is already in front of them, and it is no longer up to them to decide whether to fight or not.
Therefore, even if he didn't want to, he had to urgently mobilize troops and horses to the front line of Lushui, Huichuan Kingdom, to defend the enemy.
Out of fear of the strength of the Chu State, the one who led the rescue was the Great Wizard of the Shrine who had innate strength.
This spiritual leader of the Chili people led the 30,000 reinforcements from the rear, and the 20,000 defenders on the Lushui front line, a total of 50,000 people, stopped the Chu people along the river.
Now, after several months of construction, the Dachanghe Army has built five lines of defense on the Lushui front line.
The trench antlers of the first line of defense, the twenty earthen platforms of the second line of defense, the ten camps of the third line of defense, the fourth line of defense is the strong camp, and there is a Shama City behind it, which is Hui An important town in the central part of Sichuan Province, it exists as the fifth line of defense.
Such layers of fortifications, with thousands of people deployed on each line of defense, relied on solid fortifications to defend themselves, allowing the Chu people to shed their blood on the west bank of the Lushui River.
"Take another group of people from the camp and bring them to the unfinished camp to seize the time to repair them.
The Chu soldiers were sharp, and even though there were two lines of defense on the front line, there was no guarantee that someone from the other side would break into the third line of defense.
This battle is related to the survival of our Chili clan, so we must not be careless. "
Hearing that there were still areas where defense lines had not been built, the Great Witch Festival frowned slightly and immediately waved his hand and gave an order.
"yes."
Behind him, the shrine shaman priest obeyed the order, immediately responded, and left in a hurry.
Watching his retreating figure, the Great Witch Festival sighed softly, and then looked forward with worry in his eyes.
After six years of war, the once prosperous and prosperous country of Daejangwa has become destitute and dilapidated.
I won’t say much more about the territories east of Lu River that have been trapped by thieves.
In recent years, the country has sent a large number of spies to my place to investigate the situation, and at the same time encourage the local Chili people to rebel against the tyranny of the Chu people.
Therefore, Dachang and Guiguo are very clear about the situation in Qianzhong County.
Regarding the series of methods adopted by the Chu people to reduce the population to annihilation and assimilate their wives and daughters, he was even more indignant and felt a chill in his heart.
There are no stupid people in the world.
Lu Yuan's methods were not very clever.
In the past, Dongyang people used more or less similar strategies to his when they expanded outward.
It's just that no one has combined all the vicious tactics like him and summed up a set of procedures, all of which are used on the Chili Yi people.
Therefore, the strategy implemented by Lu Yuan in Qianzhong County was naturally understood by Dachang and the whole country, and they also knew the viciousness of it.
If the other party really succeeds, and further captures the west of Lu River, it will be extended to all the territory of Da Changhe Kingdom.
Then their Chili clan is truly subjugated.
Not only will the family and country be impure, but even cultural beliefs will be completely eradicated and will cease to exist.
When he thought that the bloodline and faith of the Great God Chili would disappear forever from this land, as the most devout believer, the great wizard felt a burst of fear and anger in his heart.
He would never allow or allow this to happen.
So after receiving the request from the leader of the country, the great witch priest brought out the remaining 500 witch priests, sorcerers, and witches in the shrine without saying a word, and came to the west bank of Lushui to stop the Chu people. .
Because he knew that if this battle did not stop the Chu people east of the Lushui River, not to mention saving the palace, even saving the Chili people would become a luxury.
If the skin is gone, the hair will be attached.
In the face of the threat from the Chu people and the crisis of racial survival, some of the original conflicts between secularity and theocracy, and the entanglements of interests between families and factions, can all be resolved.
First defeat the clan’s archenemy, and then discuss the grudges between them.
As the great witch priest of the shrine, he still has this awareness.
'After this battle is over and I go back, I will choose the next generation of wizards. Now I am old and have only a few decades left to live.
The current crisis of the Chili clan is far from over, even if the Chu people are defeated now, it will be the same.
The descendants of the Great God need younger people to lead and guide them. Only the new generation of the Grand Wizard of the Shrine can protect the Chili bloodline.
Among the young wizards of this generation, Yao, Xia, and Hui are the most outstanding. This time, through this war, we will select the most qualified Shrine Grand Wizard from among them. '
The Great Witch Festival stared into the distance. Although he was in the middle of a war, his heart was concerned about the next generation of successors, and his thoughts became wandering.
Just looking at it, Piao Fei's thoughts were still confused, but in his sight as he stared ahead, an earthy yellow light became stronger and stronger.
The rumbling war drums in the distance became louder and louder, and the bursts of shouts and howls became denser and closer.
Suddenly, a strong uneasiness awoke the great wizard from his deep thoughts, and Tong Kongjian's eyes quickly focused.
When he saw clearly what was happening in front of him, his expression suddenly changed.
But not far away, a ray of light was like the scorching sun, covering several feet of earthy yellow light. At this time, it turned into a ball of erratic light spots, constantly rushing towards the strongholds defended by the commander and the army.
Wherever this earthy-yellow light group passed, all the great commanders and soldiers along the road were reduced to pieces of stumps. Anyone who was touched by the light was instantly killed.
Under this terrifying attack, in just a few dozen breaths, the first line of defense on the river bank in front was breached. The two earthen platforms in the second line of defense, with thousands of defenders on them, were also easily slaughtered.
A large camp in front of the third line of defense was also rushed in by the dazzling yellow light. At this time, a scream rang out in the military camp. It was this mournful scream that awoke the great wizard from his distant thoughts.
"How dare you, thief!"
Seeing his own army being easily slaughtered, the Great Witch Festival was filled with shock and anger.
Since they were shocked that the Chu people were so unruly and gave up the tacit understanding that both sides had innate masters, they would not attack ordinary soldiers easily.
He was even more annoyed that the other party was so disrespectful of martial arts, so he threw himself into the Xiantian Grandmaster at the beginning, catching himself off guard. Not only did it cause a large number of casualties, but the defense line that took several months to build also became ineffective.
Looking at the gap opened by the yellow light group in front, the Chu army swarmed in and swept in all directions, tearing the first two lines of defense into several sections in a few clicks.
The eyes of the Great Witch Ritual erupted into flames.
He knew that with the influx of countless Chu troops, it was already a matter of time before the Da Changhe army on the first two lines of defense lost its advantage in defense and was defeated.
That's a total of 20,000 troops.
In today's Dachowa country, even if the whole country tries its best to squeeze them, the number of men over twelve years old will not exceed 200,000.
At this time, one-tenth was lost in one fell swoop, almost breaking an arm of Ojowakuni. How could such a tragic loss not be heartbreaking?
And what caused all this...
"It's all you!"
The Great Witch Festival looked at the figure in the yellow light ball, with resentment and hatred flashing in his eyes.
Others may be blocked by the dazzling yellow light and unable to see clearly what is going on inside. But with his cultivation strength, he could naturally see clearly that there was a burly young man in the yellow light.
Although he was a little confused, the young man's appearance was very unfamiliar and did not match the appearance of any apparent innate master in the Chu Kingdom.
But the other party is killing his own people and breaking the original tacit balance, but the Great Witch Festival is aware of it.
"Okay, okay, okay, since Chu people are so careless first, then after this battle, I will go to the mainland of Chu.
Isn't it just killing people?
If you can kill my people without shame, then I will kill your Chu people without shame either.
I want to see who kills more in the end! "
Seeing the army in front of the camp being quickly slaughtered and completely collapsed, the Great Witch Festival could not hold back any longer.
While gritting his teeth in his heart, he also flew up and rushed towards the yellow light group ahead.
Although it can be seen from the series of methods of the powerful enemy in front that after killing more than a thousand people in a row, the opponent's momentum did not decline much, and his strength should be far stronger than him.
But everyone is an innate master, and he has a large army to help him. The great wizard doesn't believe it, and he can't defeat the other party.
And even if he really couldn't defeat him, at this moment, if he didn't want the third line of defense to be broken through by the Chu army and lose another 10,000 troops, he would have to go up.
Even though I had planned to go to Chu State later, it would only be after this war.
At this moment, it would be good if we could recover a little more losses and save a few more warriors of the Chili tribe.
However, the above ideas are indeed good in theory.
But when the Great Witch Festival faced the yellow light and fought against the powerful enemy, his expression suddenly changed, and he knew that his idea was completely wrong.
boom!
The fierce fist wind hit, and under the shining yellow light, the six-winged golden beetle transformed from the outer body of the great wizard's martial arts, before it pounced forward towards the enemy, it was instantly counterattacked by the enemy, and one of its wings was broken with a punch.
Although the six-winged beetle also pounced hard, biting down a large piece of yellow light, making the yellow light surrounding the opponent much sparse and dim.
But taking this opportunity, the enemy punched him again, regardless of defense, and just focused on attacking the golden beetle.
Ding-ding-ding-ding!
In an instant, the sound of gold and iron clashed.
The Great Witch Festival drives the beetle transformed into its outer body, fiercely biting the powerful enemy in front of it.
But no matter how the beetle bites, apart from tearing apart the circle of yellow light surrounding the opponent, when it bites the opponent, it is like hitting gold and iron.
Apart from breaking open the opponent's skin and leaving a few small wounds, it can't cause any serious injuries at all.
After a fight in Huhu, not only did he not go as expected, he used his martial arts outer body to bite the opponent into several pieces.
On the contrary, he realized that the beetle he transformed into had all its wings removed, and even the sharp fangs on the side of its mouth were torn off. It looked horrible.
The outer body of martial arts is connected with the body and soul. This thing was injured, and the body and soul of the Great Witch Sacrifice suffered many injuries.
But these are nothing.
As an innate master, his body's true energy is connected to the heaven and earth. Perhaps the injured body's true energy can circulate twice, and he can quickly recover.
What really frightened him was the terrifying strength of the opponent's punch to blow away his martial arts body.
There is also the yellow light that changes freely on the other party's body.
"You are not a martial artist!"
As the great shaman of the shrine, it has been passed down for thousands of years. He immediately recognized that the yellow light surrounding the other party was not the outer body of martial arts, but more like the rumored immortal magic.
Seeing that his identity was revealed, Huang Xuan paused slightly, but he didn't have much emotion and would not reply to the other party at all.
He just glanced at the Great Witch Festival coldly, then jumped up, relying on his steel and iron bones, and punched him with a powerful punch under the yellow light of the magic power that protected his body.
Seeing this scene, the eyes of the great wizard who had suffered a big loss earlier were twitching wildly, and he did not dare to take on the opponent forcefully.
The ugly look on his face caused the already miserable outer beetle to rush forward to block it, but he quickly stepped back, trying to avoid its sharp edge.
The enemy in front of him was too overwhelming, and the identity of the immortal monk was too suspicious. After many setbacks, he had already developed the idea of shrinking back in fear.
As the spiritual pillar of the Chili clan, I must not die here, otherwise it will be a devastating blow to all the Chili clan members.
Retreat temporarily and save your life.
In the future, I will go to the mainland of Chu to take revenge for today's revenge.
This is the wisest choice.
It's just that the great wizard's attention was all on Huang Xuan, a powerful enemy. As he was retreating wildly, he didn't notice that after defeating the defenders, he was mixed in with the countless Chu troops swarming up.
A figure suddenly approached him, less than thirty feet away.
boom!
Without warning, a thunderous sound exploded in his ears.
The Dashaji, who was retreating rapidly backwards, paused. His vision went dark, and there was a dizzy buzz in his ears and mind. His body, which had been flying upside down, fell directly from mid-air and fell straight to the ground.
But before he landed, there was a sudden vibration on the flat ground, and a sharp stone thorn broke through the soil and grass on the ground in an instant, and directly stabbed the fallen body of the great wizard.
Poof!
Along with a muffled sound, blood spattered.
The sharp stone thorn directly penetrated the heart of the great wizard, piercing half of his body and hanging directly on the tip of the stone thorn.
Whoosh!
Then a yellow light flashed, and at the moment when the stone thorn pierced the body of the great wizard, it came in front of him in the blink of an eye, circled around his neck, and an old head flew towards the ground.
Lu Yuan looked at this scene from a distance, withdrew his hands that were holding the seal, and a smile appeared on his face.
A well-prepared sneak attack ended perfectly.
The target died during the Great Witch Festival of the Chili Tribe.
