On the bank of the river, there are many warships. One after another, there are tall and tall buildings, rowing boats, and ships lying across the river. These ships are big and small, the big ones are hundreds of feet, and the small ones are dozens of feet. The river stretches for hundreds of miles, and the wind and waves Roaring.
These warships are built of solid wood, covered with iron armor and engraved with various runes. They can be used for fighting and transporting troops.
A hundred miles away from the river, there is a city with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in the city. On the city wall, a group of soldiers wearing black armor and black turbans are looking at the river from a distance.
In the past six months, Tang Xuanyi has been accumulating power. He has almost squeezed out the potential of the five southern states, adding a total of 500,000 troops to him. Although these are newly trained troops, they are provided by the Demon Cult. Using secret techniques and elixirs, these recruits obtained powerful force by squeezing their own potential and lifespan, and their physical fitness was no less than that of Zhou's army.
As long as they have been on the battlefield and seen blood, they can quickly grow into elite soldiers.
On the Great Zhou side, in order to quell the rebellions in various states and counties, a new army was trained. At the same time, the pressure in the northwest was relieved, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was also preparing to deploy border troops to defend the imperial capital.
Of course, Dazhou has not officially recruited troops yet, and it is not as aggressive as Tang Xuanyi and the Demon Sect. After all, Dazhou's foundation can still support it, but that time has not yet come.
Compared with the Xuanyi Army's rigorous preparations, the generals on Da Zhou's side were much more relaxed, not because they were negligent in management, but because the Xuanyi Army in Jiangnan were now overwhelmed.
Originally, the power of the Xuanyi Army had crossed the river, but Han Yuanxiu, the veteran general sent by the imperial court, fought step by step and did not give Tang Xuanyi a chance. In the face of the absolute disparity in military power and the fact that the Demon Cult had not yet taken action, Tang Xuanyi retreated step by step, and finally retreated to the south of the Yangtze River.
It can be said that if the Demon Cult had not intervened, their rebel army would have been wiped out by the Great Zhou sooner or later.
"kill!"
Suddenly, the war drums were beating and the sound shook the sky. The waves and clouds on the river were strange and the undercurrent was surging. The soldiers on the Louchuanya ship were driving the boats to fight with the Shui tribe warriors in the river.
The riverside beach has become a meat grinder. Both sides have invested tens of thousands of troops here. One side attacks and the other side defends. There are not many bells and whistles, only a head-on battle of strength.
Da Zhou knew that the Xuanyi Army had the support of the Demon Sect, and the Xuanyi Army also had a clear understanding of Da Zhou's military deployment through the Demon Sect's intelligence sources. The cards of both sides were all on the table, and it only depended on whose luck it was. Better, whose off-board moves are better.
The two armies faced each other, with evil spirits rising into the sky, blood dyeing the ground red, and the sound of fighting becoming a constant. Soldiers on both sides were wearing black armor, but the armor on Da Zhou's side was obviously more sophisticated and better equipped.
Although Tang Xuanyi had the support of the Demon Sect, the resources supported by the Demon Sect were either stored in the past or newly released later. A considerable part of them were the inventory of the previous Zhou Dynasty military.
However, since Emperor Shenwu, the Great Zhou Dynasty has strictly controlled the ordnance and armor. Even people from the Demon Cult cannot secretly cause trouble. In addition, the Great Zhou Dynasty's ordnance has been constantly improving, so the current situation has formed.
One side occupies a geographical advantage, and the other side has equipment advantages. It is difficult to say who will win and who will lose.
On the river, a tall ship with a height of 100 feet faced the navy of the East China Sea Dragon Clan. These navy were huge, burly and majestic, making waves in the water.
However, this situation was taken into consideration before the warships of the Great Zhou Dynasty were built. When Emperor Shenwu established the empire, the Mirror Master of the Xuanjing Division and the Imperial Master led the navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty to go to sea to fight against the Dragon Clan.
Although it has only been a few decades, a wealth of experience has been accumulated by that time. The rune arrays engraved on the warships can protect the warships very well. The armor of the navy soldiers is not ordinary armor, it is equivalent to a semi-finished product. The magical weapon can fully mobilize the power of Qi and blood in their bodies to fight against the Water Tribe warriors.
Both sides have been mentally prepared for this battle. Now, the secret guards of the Xuanjing Division have not entered the scene, and the people of the Demon Cult have not taken action. They are all waiting for the other side to lose control of their position and reveal their flaws.
The war of monks is not on the same level as the war of ordinary people, but the evil aura of the army formed in the battlefield where tens of thousands of people are fighting is enough to have a certain impact on the monks.
······
Thousands of miles high in the sky, Su Ming sat on Xiao Bai, quietly looking at the battlefield below, his eyes calm, showing no emotion or anger.
Suddenly, a cheerful voice sounded, "Pudu Cihang, we meet again."
Immediately, a ray of blood penetrated the space and condensed into a human figure. The person who came was none other than Mo Lihai, the Holy Son of the Demon Sect.
"It turns out you were the one behind it." Su Ming glanced at him blankly and said calmly.
Mo Lihai looked at Su Ming, his eyes filled with fighting intent, "Monk Pudu, that's not what you said. Tens of thousands of years ago, in the Taoist sect, Cangtian was dead, Huangtian was to stand, in Buddhism, the world was in chaos, and Maitreya was If the Buddha is reborn, why can't our demonic sect destroy the six realms and kill and purify the world?"
"With the five southern states and your demon sect, you want to overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Su Ming sneered disdainfully, and then uttered four words, "Idiots are talking dreams!"
"The Great Zhou is no longer the Great Zhou of the past. Although your three sects' original plan to mend the sky failed and fell out with Emperor Shenwu, it also allowed the Great Zhou to be reborn from the ashes. Although it does not have the foundation of the Immortal Dynasty, its strength is far beyond that of previous generations. Dynasty, your demon sect alone is not qualified."
When Mo Lihai heard the words "Plan to Mend the Sky", he shrank slightly, "How do you know about the Plan to Mend the Sky?"
Su Ming withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing. Even if you erase all traces of the three sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty and erase the memories of hundreds of officials, as long as you have done it, you will definitely do it." It will leave a mark.”
Mo Lihai's expression returned to calm, he looked at Su Ming again, and laughed loudly, "It seems that I still underestimate you. One day, there will be a battle between us!"
Su Ming gave him a meaningful look, "I hope you won't regret it that day."
Both sides knew very well that the battle between them was impossible now. Mo Lihai was the holy son of the Demon Sect, and the Yuanshen monks could not participate in this battle. However, Su Ming, as the national preceptor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had the ability to fight. Qualified and able to participate in the war and turn the tide of the war.
However, he knew very well that since Mo Lihai was here, it meant that he had found a way to deal with himself, or to delay himself. Now that he was here, it was a clear deterrent.
At the beginning, the three sects agreed that the Yuan Shen monks of the three sects could not participate in the fight for the dragon. Violators would be severely punished. However, the Yuan Shen monks of the Demon Sect could not take action, but the Yuan Shen monks of the Demon Clan and the Dragon Clan were not here. within the limits.
For a long time, restricted by the suppression of the three sects, the Yuanshen monks of these two tribes were unable to carry out major actions in the Central Plains. But now that the Demon Sect has led the wolf into the house, they have naturally crossed this limit. Anyway, the Demon Sect is supporting everything. .
Of course, even if they can participate in the war, they cannot participate in the war of mortals. If the big one bullies the small ones, there will be no consequences for the initiator. Don't blame the Taoist and Buddhist sects for killing them.
······
Above the river, monsters filled the air, the sky was covered by dark clouds, the air was filled with thick water vapor, and it was extremely humid. All kinds of aquatic monsters came on the waves, some were as big as adults, and some were as big as hills. , they exude coercion of varying sizes, connected together, suffocating.
Even though the warships of the Great Zhou Dynasty were engraved with various runes, it was difficult to resist this pressure. The officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty on the deck were paralyzed under this pressure, and they were fighting with each other, unable to lift themselves up at all. Any thought of resistance.
These are the real elites of the water tribe, with many golden elixirs and even great Nascent Soul demons among them, making waves on this hundred-mile river, and many warships were overturned the first moment they appeared.
At the critical moment, a powerful evil spirit shot up into the sky, tearing the dark clouds apart in an instant. The strong energy and blood formed a stream of essence smoke. The water vapor on the river surface was instantly evaporated, and some little demons with low cultivation levels were evaporated. When the Qi and blood hit it, it melted instantly.
This scene was even seen by soldiers on the battlefield dozens of miles away. When they saw the smoke of energy, they were stunned for a moment, then their eyes turned red, the energy and blood in their bodies boiled violently, and the fighting became even more crazy.
"What is this?" On the river, on a water column formed by the surging water, a young man wearing golden armor and holding a sword with horns on his head couldn't help but screamed when he saw this scene.
Beside him, a burly man as tall as a hill, his eyes flashed, as if he remembered something, and whispered, "Your Highness, this is the most elite unit of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the secret guards of the Xuanjing Division, dozens of Years ago, they also had a war with our Donghai Sea Tribe!"
"Oh?" The young man in golden armor perked up and seemed to be interested.
"Your Highness, be careful. This secret guard is no small matter. Please stay back." After the words fell, the strong man stood in front of the young man and protected him firmly.
After the water vapor was evaporated and the pressure of the water tribe was dissipated, the energy smoke dissipated, and on the north bank of the river, an army wearing black armor slowly emerged.
They wore masks, and the black armor on their bodies was engraved with dense runes. Their dark eyes were extremely cold, and a phalanx of thirty thousand people was densely packed along the riverside.
This was the secret guard of the Xuanjing Division that Emperor Shenwu swept across the world and suppressed the Immortal Cultivation Sect. In the past few years, the Great Zhou Dynasty had invested massive resources to cultivate this 30,000-strong army.
Although they failed to return to the peak state of Emperor Shenwu, these secret guards were enough to compete with the Donghai Tribe and reverse the decline. Taking advantage of the opportunity for the secret guards to appear, the Zhou navy on the river also quietly withdrew from the battlefield. The dragon navy troops were confronting the secret guards and did not dare to stop them.
"Xuanjing Division's secret guards, I didn't expect that Da Zhou would actually train so many, which is what surprises me." Mo Lihai looked at the phalanx of secret guards below with a look of surprise.
"Speaking of which, this secret guard is still your masterpiece, but in the end it is not that we, Da Zhou, were advantaged. The three sects used Da Zhou's hand to reshuffle the forces in the world of immortality. Now it is time to repay." Su Ming looked at the river and said calmly.
"It's a pity that there are only 30,000 people. Even if the Shui tribe is defeated, I'm afraid there won't be enough energy to participate in the war in a short time. Training these 30,000 people will probably consume all the heritage of Dazhou." Mo Li Not only was Hai Fei not angry, but he revealed the true situation of the secret guard.
As he said, although the current secret guards have strong combat effectiveness, they cannot fight for a long time. The reason why Dazhou was able to sweep the world was because it relied on the three sects and had a steady stream of elixirs as support.
Now that the three sects are gone, Dazhou can no longer invest so many resources. Training 50,000 Xuanjing Division secret guards is already the limit. Now 30,000 secret guards are rushing to the battlefield, and 20,000 secret guards are staying behind. But even so, Dazhou already has the trump card to compete with the Immortal Cultivation Sect, not counting the Xuanjing Division and the Yuanshen monks in the palace.
Moreover, even if this battle fails, the existence of the secret guard is like a sea-fixing needle, which will not shake the morale of the Great Zhou Army, and those swaying families will not act rashly. Emperor Shenwu's Yin Jian is not far away, if he is defeated by the Great Zhou If Zhou gets the handle, it will be easy to die if the time comes.
Su Ming smiled faintly and didn't care, "You are right, but this does not change the fact that you failed. After this battle, the five southern states have opened their doors. Even if the Xuanyi Army has your support, it will inevitably be inevitable in the end. The end of defeat.”
Hearing this, Mo Lihai laughed loudly again, "Pudu Cihang, just keep reading. Our demon sect has been passed down through the ages, and it has more than just these tricks."
Su Ming took a deep look at him and sighed in his heart: It seems that he has made complete preparations. Maybe Da Zhou will really lose this battle.
Although the battle situation between the two parties is now at a stalemate, and even Dazhou is still in the upper hand, the Demon Sect must have other trump cards, but using one of these trump cards means one less card.
But the difference is that Xuanyi Army cannot afford to lose even once, but Dazhou can lose many times. This war is just an appetizer, and the fun is yet to come.
······
The battle on the beach gradually became stalemate. Both sides deployed nearly 100,000 troops to fight on the river bank in just a few dozen miles. At this moment, there were no military calculations, only real fighting.
"kill!"
On the bank of the river, the three secret guard formations shouted in unison, and the chilling sound penetrated the clouds and cracked the rocks, and the sound shook hundreds of miles.
In the next moment, a burst of blood rushed out from above their heads again, blending with the armor on their bodies, twisting and turning into a scene, sometimes turning into a black sun, sometimes like a black light, sometimes like a sharp blade, or like a big drum.
Together with the battle formation, an iron-blooded and tragic momentum rose, and within a radius of ten miles, there was a battlefield.
"Boom!"
Swords, guns, swords and halberds, axes and axes, hooks and forks, the fierce sound of killing rang out, freezing the space.
The 30,000 secret guards shouted together, and the fierce and heroic military spirit rose into the sky, naturally condensed into the sound of killing, and even the wind roared, shaking all directions.
At this moment, the world was silent, and the cold and bone-chilling murderous intent was like a substance, rushing toward his face.
On the other side, the sea warriors were not to be outdone. They took advantage of the favorable location and stirred up waves. A group of sea beasts also showed their true forms, and the waves crashed onto the shore with an astonishing momentum.
