Ao Chun also received information about Zhu Tianming's current situation from the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the Dragon Palace. After arranging things, he also came to the giant city of Gaohe where Zhu Tianming was located.
The smell of blood filled Ao Chun's nose, and the mountains of corpses made Ao Chun frown. The giant city of Gaohe was like a meat grinding machine, and people were killed all the time.
The water in the moat was already red, visible to the naked eye.
There were even some corpses that had been piled up for more than ten days without enough time to be disposed of and already emitting a foul smell.
Filled the entire battlefield.
The hundred-foot-high city would have been shattered if it hadn't been possessed by the starlight that filled the sky.
However, just like this, Dayuan's army was like ants, dense and unpredictable, and they rushed towards the city wall like crazy.
The arrows from both sides were like locusts, covering the sky. Zhu Tianming's new army was trembling with fear at this scene.
However, many more did die from arrows piercing their bodies.
But before he died, the thunder stone and rolling wood in his hand also dropped from the city wall, using up the last bit of strength in his body.
Arrows separated by more than 300 meters can still penetrate ordinary soldiers wearing low-grade mortal armor, which shows how powerful the soldiers of the Great Yuan Dynasty are.
No wonder the famous generals of the Ming and Song Dynasties joined forces to resist, and no wonder the Song Dynasty was so eager to obtain the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation.
The cruelty of war is vividly displayed inadvertently.
When Ao Chun found Xiao Bailong, Zhu Tianming was covered in blood. He didn't know how many people he had killed, and he didn't know how many attacks he had blocked from the Nascent Soul generals.
The negotiations between Li Mi and Song Dynasty lasted for many days, but they never came to an end.
Zhu Tianming also understands its intention. Anyway, it is impossible to come to the rescue without consuming some of your Zhu Tianming's background.
Raising a tiger cub is also a tiger and will eat people.
The army of 6 million plus 3 million civilians is now less than half. Su Xun is still in the territory and is anxious for the civilians who are in good health.
450 million people, no matter how many millions more people can be cobbled together, they will become veterans as long as they stay on the battlefield for a few days.
Anyway, there will be no shortage of resources, and there will be no shortage of skills and magical powers. It is also an opportunity for some people to ascend to high positions.
As long as the old soldier survives, he will definitely be promoted, and the new soldier can also become a veteran, and obtain mysterious and high-grade skills that are not available at ordinary times.
Even top-notch magical powers, various elixirs, etc.
Xiao Bailong came to Zhu Tianming and said:
"I sensed that there were strong souls in the military camp opposite. They should be on guard against me, otherwise it would have been impossible for me to delay taking action."
Zhu Tianming smiled bitterly and said:
"Gui Yuan, Wang Chongyang, and Zigong are involved in five powerful Yuan Shen realms. I didn't expect that there are even strong Yuan Shen realms here. They really think highly of me, Zhu Tianming."
Ao Chun said:
"There are at least two strong souls in the military camp opposite."
There are no less than seven powerful souls, which is really terrifying. There are currently less than twenty powerful souls in the entire Song Dynasty.
Zhu Tianming said:
"Ao Chun, please help treat the injuries of the wounded, especially those who are seriously ill. Take a breath."
Ao Chun said:
"good!"
At this time, Su Che came to Zhu Tianming and said:
"Master Marquis, Chuandai City has been upgraded to a giant city according to your instructions. The city wall has also been built to a height of one hundred feet. Various formations, restrictions and Feng Shui formations have also been carved."
Zhu Tianming said:
"All the wounded will be sent to Chuandai Giant City, and logistical supplies will also be sent there. When Gaohe Giant City falls, we will hold on to Chuandai Giant City."
Su Che said:
"promise!"
Fortunately, Zhu Tianming had moved the people to the hinterland a long time ago. In the states bordering the Yuan Dynasty, there were only armies and no people.
They also made plans to use the bordering states as war zones. Now it seems that the original decision was correct.
At this time, Ji Hongyun ran up to the city wall, found Zhu Tianming, and said:
"Master Marquis, it's settled. Master Li and Da Song have reached an agreement."
Zhu Tianming said:
"We have finally reached an agreement. Let Su Shi come and help guard it. Xu Fu and Que Hu will also come and guard the position just now."
Not only the civil servants with cultivation level were helping to defend the city, but Li Mi's family, who also had Jindan cultivation level, were also helping to defend the city.
Back at the city lord's mansion, Zhu Tianming had just entered the hall, saw Li Mi, and asked directly:
"How was the conversation?"
Li Mi said:
"Fortunately, the Song Dynasty fulfilled its mission with 5 million regular troops, 1 million Xuan-level mid-level special troops, 200 million people, and 600,000 demon horses;
There are 100 million forbidden arrows, 1,000 eight-treasure divine fire forbidden vehicles, 5,000 psychic cannons, 5,000 psychic arrow towers, and 20 million low-grade spiritual crystals.
One hundred treasure ships, three hundred blessing ships,
There are 15,000 talents for each category of alchemy, weapon refining, and Qin Tianjian, 25 master-level talents of each category, and 250 senior talents of various categories.
Let’s exchange the Zhoutianxingdou array diagram with us. "
Li Mi finished speaking in one breath and got everything he had initially estimated, some of which were more than the bottom line he had estimated.
Zhu Tianming asked again:
"Where's the general I mentioned earlier?"
Li Mi said:
"In addition to generals such as Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Wang Zhen, Lu Wenlong, Zhang Rong, Chen Yaozi, and Zhang Xian, the ministers also asked Yang Yanzhao and Yang Yanping for the Marquis."
Zhu Tianming said:
"It's surprising that Yang Yanzhao and Yang Yanping arrived so easily."
Li Mi said:
"Originally, the Song Dynasty refused to release Wu Jie and Wu Lin, so Wei Chen directly asked for the Yang family and his family. Only then did Zhao Kuangyin agree to release them."
Zhu Tianming seemed to have thought of something and asked:
"Did Zhao Kuangyin intend to weaken the military power of conservatives and reformists? Otherwise, why would so many people be given away?"
Li Mi said:
"During the confrontation with Wen Tianxiang and Wang Anshi, Wei Chen probably guessed that this was Zhao Kuangyin's weakening move.
The generals who followed Zhao Kuangyin to conquer the world are gradually taking over the military power of these generals. Wu Jie and Wu Lin were given to us in order to appease the two factions and fear that they would take over. "
Zhu Tianming nodded. It seemed that what Li Mi had guessed before might be true. Zhao Kuangyin had different views on the next successor. Gradually taking over military power was a good example.
Li Mi added:
"I'm afraid Wang Anshi and the others are also aware of this, otherwise they wouldn't strongly agree with Wu Jie and Wu Lin coming to our place."
Zhu Tianming no longer asked about the Song Dynasty. After repelling the Yuan army, he would have plenty of time to fight with these people.
Zhu Tianming asked:
"How to trade?"
Li Mi said:
"They will send out the troops and generals first, and the rest will be given to us after we give Zhou Tianxingdou the formation map."
Zhu Tianming said:
"It seems they still have sincerity."
As Zhu Tianming spoke, he took out a formation diagram and continued:
"This formation map is incomplete, only 90% of the original formation map. As soon as the follow-up items arrive, I will give you the remaining 10% immediately.
Although this incomplete formation map is only 90% complete, it will take them more than ten years to complete it. I believe that giving them this formation map will also see our sincerity. "
"promise!"
Nine generals were obtained at once, and as expected, they should all be generals at the ninth level of the Golden Core or the early and middle stages of Nascent Soul, which greatly alleviated the lack of high-end combat power.
Two days later,
Six million troops have arrived at the prepared city, and Zhu Tianming also sent nearly 100,000 officers to integrate this new army.
Then sent to three battlefields.
Now the three battlefields are ready to retreat to the prepared giant city at any time.
Zhu Tianming, who now has less than two million troops, has obtained a group of elites, and is obviously confident that he can fight to the death with the Yuan Dynasty.
The three states have long been built into war states, and the cities are also prepared according to the war cities.
Zhu Tianming wanted to see if Temujin would feel sorry for his soldiers.
After another seven days,
After everything was handed over, Zhu Tianming and others also retreated from Gaohe Giant City to Chuandai Giant City. The troops from the other two giant cities also retreated to the corresponding giant cities according to the plan made long ago.
Everything was in good order. After a month of fighting, Tuotuo Timur finally captured six or seven huge cities.
In the three states of Jiangdu, Dongyi, and Changhai, half of the land in each state fell into the hands of Totto Timur.
The coach of Jiangdu Prefecture is nominally Zhu Tianming, but in reality he is Li Cunxiao, Dongyi Prefecture is Zhang Liao, and Chang Haizhou is Xu Xiu.
The nine new generals and some generals above the commander level were all unaware of the situation.
The mysterious ghost technique was planted by Gui Yuan. As long as there is something strange, Zhu Tianming will see everything clearly.
It was too late for Zhu Tianming to win over the 6 million soldiers. He could only rely on the methods of these generals.
It is also a great test for them.
The six million army was divided into three parts, and each commander was supplemented by two million soldiers whose cultivation level was not lower than the seventh level of the day after tomorrow.
Zhang Liao retreated to the giant city of Lenan in Dongyizhou, and Xu Xiu retreated to the giant city of Wu'e in Changhaizhou.
All resources have been put in place, and the Song Dynasty has obtained one of the formation diagrams of the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation, which has been known to the Ming Dynasty.
Now Zhu Tianming is waiting for Daming to come to him.
In the huge city of Gaohe, Tuotuo Timur looked at the news in his hand and couldn't help but feel upright. He never expected that Zhu Tianming had sold the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation, which he relied on for a living.
Instead of 6 million Song troops, Zhu Tianming's new and old troops now total about 8 million, and the city walls are new again.
If they were to attack by force, there would definitely be too many casualties, so they could only report the situation to Temujin.
Moreover, at a critical moment, the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty would not sit back and watch Zhu Tianming really be destroyed. Now that they have captured many cities, they can be regarded as having an explanation and letting out a bad breath.
He also asked Zhu Tianming to give the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation of the Song Dynasty.
After more than a month of forceful attack, they failed to win. Even if Song Ming's reaction was slow, he would always be ready to support Zhu Tianming.
This battle can no longer be fought.
Zhu Tianming's strength was seriously underestimated.
Lu Bu, whom Yelu Ren faced first, was also a fierce warrior. At the peak of Yuanying, he could actually fight against the monks in the early stage of Yuanshen.
Not to be outdone, the commanders of the other armies are also well versed in the use of troops.
Even though Yelu Renxian was stubborn, he also suffered a lot of casualties.
There are more than twenty Yuanying monks in the five armies, and there are also people from the Fighting Holy Ape Clan and the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox Clan.
It seems that these five forces all have good backgrounds.
Zhu Tianming and other six forces must be recalculated.
The Great Yuan Dynasty suspended its attack, allowing Zhu Tianming to breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I had anticipated it, and listened to Li Mi's instructions to turn Jiangdu Prefecture, Dongyi Prefecture, and Changhai Prefecture into places of war.
Although each state lost half of its city, it would take a lot of effort for the Yuan army to continue to penetrate deeper.
Zhu Tianming's power is weak now, so if he loses it, he will lose it, and he will just find a way to take it back later.
Anyway, there is no population, the city walls are basically about to be scrapped, and most of the spiritual veins have been extracted. The city obtained by Toto Timur has no practical effect except for its good reputation.
Zhu Tianming said to Li Mi in the palace of the city lord of Chuandai Giant City:
“With a population of about 650 million now, in addition to stepping up efforts to train new troops,
The remaining cities in the three states must also quickly deploy defense lines, and strive to make Dayuan consume a huge amount of money every time he lands a giant city. "
Li Mi said without optimism:
"One-fifth of the spiritual veins in each city in our territory have been consumed. The consumption of the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation at full power is too great, and it cannot withstand several such battles.
Moreover, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty also needed time to tame and digest. "
Zhu Tianming was silent, and Su Shi said:
"We have killed nearly 7 million troops in the battle. They are not optimistic. There are at least tens of millions of people. Even if the Yuan Dynasty has many soldiers and generals, they cannot withstand such consumption."
Indeed, more than 10 million people died. Zhu Tianming's human merits reached 600 million, and his luck was more than 500,000.
There are still 18 million people left. If you add Yelv Renxian's troops, it is estimated that there are still 26 million troops.
Toto Timur does not dare to act rashly now unless Dayuan continues to increase his troops.
Zhu Tianming looked at Gui Yuan and said:
"There are so many ghosts on the battlefield. Will your strength increase if you absorb them?"
Gui Yuan said a little unnaturally:
"It has increased a bit, but the Great Yuan Dynasty has a magic weapon to restrain me, and coupled with the restraints of the human race's heavenly law, I can't exert much strength.
Fusion of 900,000 ghost soldiers and holding down two powerful souls at the peak of their powers is already the limit. "
Zhu Tianming could only say:
"Let's rest while defending first. Yan Yiwei will strengthen the spying on Dayuan's intelligence."
Zhu Tianming, the famous general of the Song Dynasty who had just been obtained, also wanted to meet him and win their hearts.
Especially Yang Yanzhao and Wu Jie, both of whom are in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, will definitely have no problem being the head coach of one side.
After the interview, although some people were a little reluctant, they were already here and there was no other way.
Zhu Tianming now has a total of seventeen generals.
Zhou Zheng was in charge of Tianshu City, Que Hu was the commander of the imperial guards, and the remaining fifteen people were divided into five armies by Zhu Tianming.
Li Cunxiao is the commander-in-chief of the First Army, and Yang Yanping and Lu Wenlong are deputy commanders. With Li Cunxiao's ability, the two of them dare not be dissatisfied;
Zhang Liao is the commander-in-chief of the Second Army, and Zhang Rong and Chen Yaozi are deputy commanders;
Gan Ning is the commander-in-chief of the navy, and Wu Lin and Zhang Xian are deputy commanders;
Yang Yanzhao is the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army, and Zhou Cang and Liao Hua are deputy commanders.
Xu Xiu is the coach of the Fifth Army, and Wu Jie and Wang Chen are deputy commanders.
Zhu Tianming had profound intentions for each of the five armies. Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua had already returned to the army and were placed in the army, either as commander-in-chief or deputy commander-in-chief.
Zhu Tianming can firmly control the military power in his own hands.
This is why Zhu Tianming still let Xu Xiu be the coach even though Wu Jie could be the coach.
Let the old generals restrain the new generals, and let the new generals restrain the old generals.
Que Hu is the imperial guard in the palace, and Zhou Zheng is in charge of Tianshu City alone. This is equivalent to two more armies, but they are not equipped with many generals.
Among the seventeen generals, the ones with the highest cultivation level are in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and the ones with the lowest cultivation level are also at the ninth level of the Golden Core.
It only takes a while to capture the hearts of the new generals of the Song Dynasty, and Yan Yiwei also secretly arranged to join the army.
Under multiple controls, it is impossible for Zhu Tianming to ignore the power of the army, and it is impossible for him to know nothing about the affairs in the army.
Li Mi also very much agreed with Zhu Tianming's arrangement. Only in this way can combat strength be formed very quickly, and it also prevents the new generals of the Song Dynasty from joining the group to keep warm.
Zhu Tianming's skills as an emperor deepened day by day, and he became more and more proficient in using them.
