Three months.
It took a total of three months for Bai Dao's army to attack Sewijianguan.
Compared with Bai Dao's initial vow that it would take fifteen days to conquer the Year Pass, this was not even a little bit exceeded.
This was undoubtedly a hard slap on Bai Dao's face.
The battle that could have been resolved within fifteen days now took three months!
This was beyond Bai Dao's imagination.
I can only say that he is worthy of being a famous bastard in Qi Country! It's no wonder that it's Qi Daoren who wants to prove the truth through chess.
The careful calculation they showed in guarding the gate, every step was for the best defense, but they really made themselves suffer.
Every time he attacks, every time he punches, it is like hitting cotton.
No one in the military tent on Baidao dared to speak.
The atmosphere was horribly dull, for fear that someone speaking would offend his lord.
"Speak, why don't you speak? I won't eat you."
Bai Dao saw the dull atmosphere in the military tent and spoke with a smile.
But Bai Dao's smile made people dare not speak.
Let alone talking, even when they breathe, they have to think about whether they are breathing too loudly.
"Well, since you don't speak, let me do it."
Bai Dao glanced at the entire audience.
"Tomorrow, I will personally lead the army to attack, and then use both armies."
"Your Highness..."
As soon as Bai Dao finished speaking, all the generals and staff in the military tent knelt down.
"Please give me a chance, Your Highness."
In Bai Dao's army, whenever Bai Dao goes to battle in person, it shows their incompetence.
After such a big battle, the two most incompetent people will be executed.
Bai Dao glanced at his subordinates blankly: "I have already given you half a month for opportunities.
But I don’t blame you this time.
This time our opponents are not the rabble we had when we were guarding the border.
Get ready!
Tomorrow will be our last battle against time!
If two of you don't want to die, then behave well! "
Bai Dao put his hands behind his back and looked through the military tent in the direction of Shuiyueguan.
...
Time passes.
Guan Qizheng and Qi Daoren were drinking.
"General Guan, we have been holding on for three months." Qi Daoren said.
"Yes." Guan Qi nodded, "I didn't expect that we not only defended for fifteen days, but also for three months. It seems that our old bones are quite powerful. We should not be attacked by those The young brats got the joke.”
"However, the next step is going to be difficult, General Guan. We may have to stop here."
Qi Daoren smiled and shook his head.
As expected, Bai Dao will lead the army tomorrow and attack the Shuiyueguan at all costs, and will use everything available!
There is no way for Shuijieguan to really defend the opponent's offense.
It's just that Bai Dao feels sorry for his army and wants to win at the minimum cost.
So this gave Shuiguan a lot of opportunities.
But things are different now. This Bai Dao has completely lost his patience.
Bai Dao will do whatever it takes, and this is something that the years will never bear.
What Suiyueguan can do is to do his best to delay the pace of Bai Dao's attack.
Now, there are twelve armies of demon clan attacking Qian Lingzhou.
Their offensive was too fierce.
The preparation of each line of defense takes time.
Among them, Sui Sui Guan is the most serious. If Sui Sui Guan is lost quickly, the layout of each defense line will not be ready.
Then Qian Lingzhou will be at a very difficult disadvantage at the beginning.
The barrier of time can be broken, but no one thinks that the barrier of time can be maintained forever.
But every time the barrier of years is broken a little bit, then Qian Lingzhou's advantage will be a little bit more.
"General Guan, I wonder how long the Empress of Qi Kingdom wants the general to guard?"
Qi Daoren asked.
Guan Qi said before that it would be good to hold on for ten days, but Qi Daoren knew that it would be far more than that.
As for the specific time, Qi Daoren didn't know.
It's not that he couldn't ask, but Qi Daoren didn't want to ask at that time, for fear that after having a purpose, he would be too purposeful and keep running for these days, which would disrupt his rhythm.
But things are different now.
The battle at the Pass of Time, no matter how hard I struggled, was coming to an end.
Guan Qi shook his head, and then stretched out two fingers.
"Two months?" Qi Daoren said in surprise.
"Yes, just two months." Guan Qi nodded.
Qi Daoren touched his beard and said, "Then can we stop sticking to it?"
"Hehehe."
Guan Qi smiled and shook his head.
"Brother Qi is wrong. His Majesty asked me to stick to it for two months, but two months is the minimum. He didn't want to put too much pressure on me, so that I made a wrong judgment. In the end, I didn't even have two months. Can't hold on.
Qian Lingzhou is too big and the defense line is too wide. It should take four months to prepare it perfectly.
And now, we have only been holding on for three months..."
Guan Qi sighed loudly: "I am afraid that I will be sorry for Your Majesty with my old bones."
Guan Qi looked at Qi Daoren: "Brother Qi, the opponent will definitely make a desperate move tomorrow. We, Guan Qi, will not be able to stop the opponent after all.
Brother Qi can leave now, just leave this place to me. "
"That's wrong!"
Qi Daoren frowned.
"How can I, Qi Daoren, be a deserter on the battlefield?
Our chess peak has a genius named Tao Yunhuai, formerly known as Mu Liu. She has actually inherited all my mantles, and she is even better than others.
I no longer have any worries, and I am also relieved about the disciple Qi Feng entrusted to me!
When I came to the battlefield, I never thought about going back.
Not to mention becoming a deserter. If I go back like this, won't I be laughed at by the younger generations? Where can I put my old face? I might as well die alone. "
Guan Qi looked into Qi Daoren's eyes and originally wanted to say something, but in the end he just shook his head:
"But I'm not a young lady. It's not worth dying with an old guy like me."
"Hahaha, brother Guan, your name is Guan Qi, and I am a chess student, and my surname is Qi, Guan Qi, Guan Qi.
Perhaps it is fate that you and I, two old guys, will die here.
There's really not much we old guys can do.
Next, it’s up to them young people. "
"Too."
Guan Qi stroked his white beard and said with a smile.
“This is really all we old guys can do.
We are useless, those little guys, don’t blame us..."
...
Early the next morning, Bai Dao personally led 100,000 elites to attack Shuijieguan.
Guan Qi and Qi Daoren worked step by step and tried their best to defend.
Bai Dao didn't panic and divided his million demon army into ten groups to attack in turn.
Every time Bai Dao attacks, the soldiers of Shuiguan must devote themselves to defense.
As time goes by, the soldiers become more and more tired.
And the supplies at Shuijieguan are about to be exhausted.
On the seventh day of the battle led by Bai Dao, the number of soldiers guarding Sewui Pass was less than 40% of what it was at the beginning.
A letter came from the imperial city, asking Guan Qi and Qi Daoren to abandon the Shuiyueguan and evacuate the army.
Guan Qi, who had not slept for three months, asked the messenger: "How high is the defense of the Qianling Holy Land?"
The messenger bit his thin lips tightly and bowed deeply: "Back to the general, less than 60% of the city has been deployed to defend the checkpoints."
"Yeah...I know."
Guan Qi nodded.
"Please also tell your Majesty that the general will be outside and military orders will not be obeyed."
"General Guan!" The man's eyes were red, "The general has been guarding for three months! That's enough!"
"not enough......"
Guan Qi smiled and shook his head.
"For Qian Lingzhou, it's far from enough..."
On the tenth day when Bai Dao led the battle, the demon monks under Bai Dao climbed to the top of the city for the first time and were killed.
Bai Dao didn't panic and used the giant soldiers to attack.
Ten thousand giant soldiers rushed to the city, using their flesh and blood to cover the attack.
The "Heaven and Earth Chess Game" arranged by Qi Daoren was activated, barely blocking tens of thousands of giant warriors.
On the twelfth day, Bai Dao attacked the city again.
Five thousand lava dragons sprayed flames and smashed the extremely loaded gate-keeping array into pieces!
The soldiers of Baidao broke through the city wall and the demon army entered the pass.
Guan Qi and Qi Daoren led the last remaining 12,000 warriors to engage in street fighting in the towns of Shuiyueguan.
Facing the street fighting guerrillas in Guizhou Lingzhou, Bai Dao, who had clearly broken through the Shuiyui Pass, was extremely annoyed!
If it weren't for the fact that the City of Time was still useful, he would have directly ordered the City to be razed to the ground!
Qi Daoren and Guan Qi seized the opportunity, and Qi Daoren trapped Bai Dao with a chess formation.
This chess formation is called "Slaying the Dragon".
There are only two ways to break the formation.
One is to kill the "dragon".
The other is to be slaughtered by a dragon.
The battle continued for another three days and three nights.
Three days later, the magic circle was lifted by itself, and at the same time, the street fighting at Shuiyueguan was completely over.
On this day, it was snowing heavily in the imperial capital of Qi Kingdom, which had already entered winter.
...
In the Imperial Palace of Qi Kingdom, in the Imperial Study Room,
After hearing the news from Shuiyueguan, Xia Liuliu squeezed the teacup in her hand tightly.
After the maid's voice fell, Xia Liuliu closed her eyes and sighed heavily:
"I understand, please step back."
"Yes." The maid bowed and left the imperial study.
After the maid left, Xia Liuliu slightly let go of the tea cup, and the jade porcelain tea cup had turned into powder.
Opening the door, Xia Liuliu walked out of the imperial study. The maids waiting at the door were startled and quickly took out their coats to put on His Majesty's shoulders.
"No need, I'm fine by myself. You can step back." Xia Liuliu waved her hand.
The two maids looked at each other, finally put away their fox fur coats, and bowed: "Yes."
Standing alone in the open space in front of the royal study, Xia Liuliu stood for a long time in the heavy snow.
...
At Qifeng, the Holy Land of Qianling, all the disciples were wearing linen and mourning, and their eyes were red.
"bye!!!"
Tao Yunhuai, the new master of Qi Peak, shouted loudly.
Tao Yunhuai held a long incense and bowed deeply to the tombstone at the front. Five thousand disciples up and down Qi Peak bent down holding incense.
Heavy snow fell, covering the newly built cenotaph with a thick layer of white.
...
Wanjiancheng, after reading the envelope in his hand, Su Li took a deep breath.
Su Li walked out of his city lord's mansion and walked to the city wall. Looking at the sword cultivators in the martial arts training field under the city wall, Su Li looked solemn.
"Master Su."
A maid responsible for delivering orders came to Su Li's side.
"Your Majesty asked me to ask Mr. Su, does Mr. Su need anything else?"
Listening to the maid's words, Su Li did not answer, but looked at the thousands of sword cultivators below the city.
The maid did not continue to ask again, but waited for Su Li's answer.
From Su Li's eyes, the maid felt something scary.
His eyes were like a long sword, as if he wanted to tear everything apart.
"Tell Xia Liuliu that in two years, I will have a big battle to sharpen my sword." After a long time, Su Li spoke slowly.
"yes."
The maid bowed, turned and left.
On the top of the city, Su Li looked at the incense stick for another half.
"almost"
After half a stick of incense, Su Li said to himself.
Five months have passed since taking over Wan Jianjun, almost half a year.
While the sword cultivators in the sword training field were practicing one-on-one, Su Li jumped directly from the top of the city.
Feeling the mountain-like sword energy, all the swordsmanship geniuses stopped sparring one after another. They felt as if their breathing was like thousands of small swords piercing their lungs!
What a strong sword spirit.
Everyone looked in the direction of the source of the sword energy.
What I saw was my master...
Su Li glanced casually, then stretched out his hand, and the wooden sword in the hand of a female disciple flew into Su Li's hand:
"From today on, I am here, and each of you can challenge me.
I will control my realm to two smaller realms lower than yours.
If you can force me to fight swordsmanship with you at the same level, you can participate in the big war a year later.
After a year, those who have not met the requirements will leave Wan Jianjun and serve in other armies!
Go for it!
Go and think!
Go and learn!
The library in Sword City contains most of the sword manuals in the world!
Every sword manual has merit.
I want you to do everything possible to defeat me! "
...
On top of the city wall of Time Pass, Bai Dao looked down and saw the corpses of humans and monsters mixed together.
In this war, too many people died.
Guan Qi and Qi Daoren, with one hundred thousand soldiers, actually consumed 250,000 demon troops of their own!
It held me back for nearly four months!
"It's interesting..."
Bai Dao put his hands behind his back and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Your Highness." A deputy general walked up to Bai Dao and bowed.
"Say." Bai Dao said calmly.
Attendant: "Your Highness, I don't know what to do with the bodies of Qi Daoren and Guan Qi? Should they be hung high on the city wall?"
Bai Dao closed his eyes and thought for a while.
"No."
Bai Dao smiled coldly.
“What’s the use of hanging their corpses on the city wall?
No one appreciates it.
Pass on my general's order.
Use secret techniques to preserve the bodies of Guan Qi and Bai Dao, and then hang them on our flag.
I want to show the people in this world what the consequences of resisting me will be! "
