Night is like day.
The wilderness outside the Great Flame Pass was illuminated by thunder and lightning.
The thunder rumbled like thousands of horses galloping.
The desperate screams of the Mongolian Empire cavalry and the neighing of horses resounded through the wilderness.
"Boom!"
At this time, more Mongolian cavalry came galloping from a distance.
The cold murderous aura came like a storm.
From what the soul could see, above their heads, storm vortices composed of clouds of energy and blood roared towards them as they ran!
The air seemed to be torn apart.
The powerful murderous intent and the power of qi and blood, the terrifying momentum and the unique qi and blood storm of the army swept over like a huge wind and huge waves.
now.
Even Luo Qingzhou, who was riding on Long Er, suddenly felt trembling.
Without any hesitation, he immediately said: "Let's go!"
Long Er swung his long tail, carrying thunder and lightning, and flew along the border between the two countries toward the mountains and jungles in the west. At the same time, he said in a rough voice to the galloping cavalry: "Human, this dragon will come again." Come back! The human race will decline, and the demon race will rise!"
Crocodile Batian also hurriedly swung his tail, followed closely, and roared at the Dayan Pass: "If God had not given birth to me, Crocodile Batian, my tyranny would last forever as the night! I, Crocodile Batian, will come back again!"
When tens of thousands of cavalrymen from the Mongolian Empire came close, carrying a storm of energy and blood, the two behemoths had already fled.
At the same time, the thunder tribulation above his head had also disappeared.
The previous eight thousand Mongolian cavalry had been lost, and only a few sporadic cavalry were left, shivering in caves, mud, and grass in the distance.
Nudo, the general of the Mongolian Empire, looked at the scene in front of him, shocked and angry.
His eyes suddenly looked towards the Great Yan Pass in the distance.
Dark green venom was everywhere on the city walls, and there were gaps in some walls. The two archery towers had also collapsed. Many soldiers were running hurriedly with torches on them. They had obviously been attacked by demons.
Why did the demon clan suddenly appear here?
He was confused and confused.
At this time, a soldier was helped over. One of his arms had been burned. He endured severe pain and reported: "General, the fifth prince... the fifth prince was eaten by the giant crocodile..."
As soon as these words came out, Nudo's expression suddenly changed and he asked in shock: "The fifth prince was eaten?"
The soldier said with pain on his face: "Subordinate... I saw it with my own eyes..."
Nuduo looked shocked and suddenly said: "Where are the other cultivators? Didn't the Fifth Prince bring more than two hundred cultivators to Dayan this time? There are also Seventh Prince! By the way, there are also two Piaomiao Immortals People of the sect.”
"They were all... killed by those two monsters..."
After the soldier finished speaking tremblingly, he fainted from the pain.
Nuduo's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and the hand holding the handle of the knife trembled: "More than two hundred cultivators, including the Seventh Prince... were all killed... The disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect were also killed... …”
Suddenly, he shouted an order to the surroundings: "Search for the whereabouts of the others immediately! If you want to see them alive, you want to see their corpses!"
He couldn't believe that so many people were eaten by those two monsters.
At this time, the eastern sky had begun to turn white.
Dawn appears.
The cavalry of the Mongolian Empire searched for corpses and survivors everywhere in the wilderness.
Even the flesh and blood on the ground were brought back.
At this time, Luo Qingzhou, with Long Er and Crocodile Batian, had taken a detour back to the territory of Dayan.
As the King of the North, he issued an order for all the troops in the North to gather towards the border pass and prepare for battle.
The external reason is that the border pass is attacked by monsters, and there may be monsters coming, so they must prepare in advance.
In fact, it was to prepare for the invasion of the Mongolian Empire.
The five princes of Dameng, the masters of Guiyi Realm, and more than 300 practitioners all died tragically. How could the other party just let it go?
Even if they really believed that it was the demon clan, they might vent their anger on their Great Yan.
Besides, people are not that easy to deceive.
They will definitely be suspected.
With the opponent's current military strength, even just suspicion is enough to launch an invasion war.
But if he was given another chance, he would still kill those people without hesitation.
He has endured the oppression of the Piaomiao Immortal Sect for the time being, because now he really does not have the strength to challenge him. Who knows that now there is another Mongolian Empire, and he even takes people directly to the palace to confront his queen. Show off your power.
The most important thing is that his queen is still pregnant with his child.
How could he endure it at this time?
Of course I can't bear it!
What's more, he has advanced to the peak of Grand Master. With the tyranny of his body and the power of thunder and lightning, no one can kill him unless the master of thunder and lightning takes action himself.
Strength is courage!
With his current strength, why should he be afraid anymore?
Although Dameng has strong soldiers and horses, he is powerful, but he, Great Yan, is by no means weak!
The opponent is dominated by cavalry and is invincible on the plains.
But he stood firm at the pass, and the opponent's cavalry was unable to use its own advantages at all, and could only rely on flesh and blood and bravery to attack.
However, just now, almost all of the opponent's eight thousand cavalry had been destroyed, and their deaths were extremely miserable, which would definitely affect the opponent's morale.
If the opponent attacks now, they will have absolutely no advantage.
Dayan just needs to stick to it.
At this time, Luo Qingzhou was sitting at Tongyuan Pass at the forefront of the border. He was listening to Wu Yue, the general guarding the border, reporting on the situation of the defenders in the city and the distribution of troops in Dameng.
at the same time.
Troops from all over the northern border began to gather towards Tongyuan Pass.
Yueying also came from the Western Region with 30,000 reorganized silver-armored cavalry.
After a battle with the demon clan and the demon tree in the Western Region, except for the practitioners of the Misty Immortal Sect in Mocheng, no foreign enemies are approaching for the time being, and with Yuchi Ling, who is good at defense, leading his army to defend, there should not be a big problem.
This battle to prepare for the invasion of Dameng mobilized almost all of Dayan's troops.
After all, Dayan had just experienced civil strife and a war between the demon clan and the demon tree. It had suffered heavy losses, and there were not many troops that could be assembled in a short period of time.
But fortunately, Tongyuan Guan was there, so they just had to defend with all their strength.
It is not easy for the other party to enter the border.
"We can only gather up to 80,000 troops in the north. The opponent has about 200,000 troops, but they are all cavalry and are good at fighting on the plains. If we attack the city by force, we will not be vain... The opponent's Marshal Tiemu is not reckless. Man, he also has my Great Yan counselor beside him, and he knows the strength of my Great Yan Pass and the will of my soldiers..."
"They just lost eight thousand cavalry last night. They are still processing corpses and searching for survivors. They should not attack for the time being..."
In the hall, Wu Yue was talking confidently and calmly, without any signs of panic because of the Mongolian army approaching.
Luo Qingzhou listened quietly and occasionally asked a few questions.
Two days later.
Dameng suddenly sent an envoy to the pass to investigate the matter of the fifth prince and the massacre of the monsters that night.
Luo Qingzhou did not go out.
Wu Yue took people out to greet him and said all the words he had prepared.
At the same time, many soldiers in the city wore mourning clothes, and some mourning halls, wreaths, etc. were arranged in advance.
He also mentioned that Dayan was gathering his troops to prepare against the demon clan.
The messenger left quickly.
At this time, in a certain tent in the Mongolian Empire military camp.
Dameng Marshal Tiemu was discussing matters with his men. Those burly generals all had gloomy faces and murderous intent.
"Marshal, the fifth prince was killed, more than 300 of my cultivators were killed, and even the seventh prince was killed. What are we waiting for? We directly broke through the Tongyuan Pass, entered the Great Yan, and killed the Great Yan Empress! For them Revenge!”
"Hmph, do you think we, Dameng, are so easy to deceive? Even if it is really done by the demon clan, it must be related to their Great Yan! Marshal, I will fight!"
"General Geri, don't be careless. If Tongyuan Pass was so easy to break, Dameng wouldn't have been blocked for so many years. Now we have lost another eight thousand vanguards. Many soldiers were frightened by the two monsters, and their hearts are in panic. , the morale is weak, we can’t do anything casually.”
"Hmph, I have an army of 200,000 men here, how can I let others bully me!"
"Of course we must avenge ourselves, but we must not be impulsive, let alone underestimate Dayan. At the very least, we must first find out the details of the other party and restore morale first."
Several generals sat on both sides, arguing.
Marshal Tiemu listened calmly. After both parties calmed down, he opened his mouth and said, "Wuyun, how did the Piaomiao Immortal Sect respond?"
A young man stood up immediately and said respectfully: "The other party asked us to investigate, but they seem unwilling to send more people."
Tiemu frowned slightly.
The young man added: "Based on my subordinates' guess, the Piaomiao Immortal Sect suffered heavy losses at the Great Yan border this time, and is now severely weakened. And it is said that after their sect master learned the news, he became furious. The great elder and the peak master who were accompanying him, They have all been punished. They may not be able to send more people over for the time being, and they dare not cause any more damage. After all, the Kyushu Conference will start in more than ten months, and they need to prepare in advance."
There was silence in the big tent.
A bearded man said: "Piaomiao Xianzong did suffer heavy losses this time. It is said that dozens of elders and hundreds of elite disciples were all killed. It is estimated that they have regarded Great Yan as an unlucky place, and temporarily I don’t dare to come again. Moreover, they signed a contract with Dayan in front of Jiutian Yaotai and Penglai Xiandao, so they can no longer blatantly enter Dayan."
"However, their losses will definitely be counted on Dayan."
"It is estimated that they may not take action against Dayan until the end of the Kyushu Conference. Or they may not attack Dayan until they collect the compensation written in the contract from Dayan."
Tiemu's face was as gloomy as water, and he was silent for a moment, then said: "Is there any news from the Great Yan territory?"
The young man named Wu Yun immediately said: "According to reports from spies, the armies from the Northern Territory of Great Yan are all gathering towards Tongyuan Pass. The 30,000 cavalrymen from the Western Territory are also rushing towards here. Many cultivators from Great Yan, It seems he’s here too.”
"Humph, this is a guilty conscience! The deaths of the fifth prince and the seventh prince are definitely caused by Dayan!"
"Marshal, give the order! We will not return it until Great Yan is defeated!"
"Marshal, the general is willing to take the lead!"
All the soldiers stood up and asked for orders.
Tiemu glanced at them calmly, paused, and said, "Sit down, everyone. I have already reported this matter to the Khan. As for my opinion... we will not send troops yet."
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers looked at each other in shock.
Tiemu said in a deep voice: "First, Tongyuan Pass is difficult to break. The opponent is now using all the strength of the country to defend. Even if we break through, there will be very few 200,000 troops left, and the gain will not be worth the loss. What's more, the opponent's 30,000 cavalry, He’s not here to defend, he’s here to find opportunities and hit us with a fatal blow.”
"Secondly, the fifth prince went to Dayan this time, taking 300 cultivators with him, and the seventh prince followed. The seventh prince is the most powerful soul cultivator in Dameng, but what happened? None of them came back. This shows that the other party His strength is by no means as simple as what we have seen and heard about. It is very likely that besides Bai Yishan, there are other hidden masters."
"Third, you all know about Dayan's battle in the Western Region. The three Immortal Sects and our tens of thousands of troops all suffered heavy losses and fled. However, in the end, Dayan not only defended the city alone, but also killed That demonic tree even drove away the demon clan. Don’t you think it’s scary to have such strength and courage, as well as the willpower of the soldiers and civilians? If they show that kind of courage and will again to defend Tongyuan Pass, we will definitely With 200,000 Mongolian cavalry, it may be difficult to advance even an inch, or they may be attacked by surprise and completely defeated!"
"And the most important point is that according to the news from Piaomiao Xianzong, Dayan may have colluded with the demon clan. What happened that night further proves this point. Therefore, if we take action, the demon clan suddenly appears and attacks us from both sides. , wouldn’t our Dameng army of 200,000 people be wiped out in ashes? When the other side marches in, we, Dameng, may be subjugated!"
After saying these words, all the soldiers in the tent had ugly expressions and instantly calmed down.
"So, we have to wait."
"At least until we find out the movements of the demon army, at least until we find out Dayan's true strength..."
"I believe that the best time is ten months later, after the Kyushu Conference ends, or after the Piaomiao Immortal Sect takes action. At that time, it is the best time for us to break through the original barrier and go straight to the Great Flame Kyoto!"
at this time.
Outside the tent, it suddenly started to rain lightly.
In the city of Tongyuan Pass, the soldiers were still busy preparing various defensive equipment.
Luo Qingzhou stood on the city wall, looking at the wilderness outside the city, thinking about ways to defeat the Mongolian cavalry.
Long Er transformed into a girl in a white dress, standing quietly beside him like a personal maid, accompanying him to look at the rainy wilderness outside the city.
"The other side should not dare to attack the city."
Luo Qingzhou suddenly said something.
Long Er was just looking at him in a trance and didn't hear clearly. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and said, "What did the young master say?"
"fine."
Luo Qingzhou took out the messenger ultimatum and sent a message to Yueying, asking her to stay where she was and not have to march any more.
Yueying immediately replied: [Why? 】
Luo Qingzhou: [I have already released the news that the King of the North is personally guarding the pass. The King of the North has a great reputation, is both civil and military, and is victorious in every battle. Dameng should retreat in the face of difficulties and not dare to invade again]
Yueying: [When did it happen? Are you still joking? 】
Luo Qingzhou: [No kidding, I think if the opponent is smart, they will not choose to attack now. Lord Yueying, please stay where you are for the time being. The results should be available tomorrow]
Yueying: [Yes, King of the North]
Luo Qingzhou put away the messenger document and looked into the distance again.
As expected.
The second day.
The spies at the front suddenly received news that the 200,000-strong army of the Mongolian Empire had begun to retreat.
However, Luo Qingzhou still did not dare to be careless.
Another three days of waiting.
It wasn't until the other party really retreated that he felt relieved.
The other party is waiting for an opportunity, so why isn't he?
Ten months later, he wants all the countries and sects in the Nine Provinces Continent to know that a small flame can shake the sky!
Even the lofty Immortal Sect in Jiuzhou Continent can still be destroyed!
