Shanhaiguan, located in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty, is one of the eight major passes of the Ming Dynasty.
Shanhaiguan echoes Jiayu Pass in the north. They are both the throat of the border counties of the Ming Dynasty and the protection of the capital. They shoulder the important responsibility of protecting the Ming Dynasty.
Because the north is the Yuan Dynasty, where tens of millions of foreign races live together; and outside Shanhaiguan in the northeast is the Qing Dynasty.
Once the two major passes are lost, the Yuan army and the Qing army can march straight in, unimpeded, directly to Shuntian Mansion, and invade the Ming Dynasty Kyoto.
Therefore, the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty chose to attack Jiayu Pass and Shanhaiguan at the same time, with the purpose of cooperating with the Qinglong Society and the Magician Palace to attack the Kyoto of the Ming Dynasty, which shows their sinister intentions.
Now, although the actions of forces such as the Qinglong Society and the Mage Palace have failed, the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty have not given up attacking the Ming Dynasty.
They cooperated with forces such as the Blue Dragon Society and were just following the trend.
Even if the Qinglong Society and other forces failed, it would not affect their attack on the Ming Dynasty.
After all, they spent a lot of money for this operation. Even if they couldn't destroy the Ming Dynasty, they still had to find a way to tear off a piece of flesh from the Ming Dynasty to make up for the loss of the army. Otherwise, wouldn't they have fought this battle in vain?
Therefore, the battle will continue until now.
At this time, Shanhaiguan fell, and the Qing army entered the pass for the second time, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.
In just a few days, the Qing army entered the Shanhaiguan Pass for hundreds of miles, and the people in hundreds of miles of Shanhaiguan suffered disaster and were looted by this group of bandits.
When the Qing army passed by, not a blade of grass grew, and even the elderly and children were not spared. The area around Shanhaiguan they killed was filled with rivers of blood and piles of corpses.
The cruelty of war was completely reflected at this moment.
In a war, it is the people who suffer in the end!
At this time, Shanhaiguan was hundreds of miles away.
The banner company camp stretches for more than ten miles.
The golden dragon flag on a black background fluttered in the wind. In the center of the camp, a flag tens of meters high was erected with a big character - Ming written on it.
This is the camp of Sun Chengzong and Yang Sichang's army.
In order to avoid causing greater casualties, despite the fall of Shanhaiguan, Sun Chengzong still stationed his army here and fought to the death, blocking the Qing army in Shanhaiguan and preventing it from going south to continue massacring the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Now, the army has been holding on for seven days.
The 100,000 troops they had summoned from Kyoto had now defeated less than 50,000.
The remaining troops were defeated and their morale was low.
But in order to protect the people behind them, they still stick to this place, with the determination to fight the national disaster together!
…
The atmosphere in the Chinese army's tent was solemn.
Coach Sun Chengzong was wearing a black armor and sitting in the main seat, his brows furrowed and his face ugly.
On both sides below are Yang Sichang and many other lieutenants.
In addition, Dongfang Bubai, who was dressed in bright red, and Guan Yutian, who was wearing a dark red embroidered gold-trimmed uniform, were also sitting in the tent, and their faces were also a little unsightly.
There is a sand table in the middle of the big tent, which records the mountains and landforms in the Shanhaiguan area and the distribution of the enemy and our armies in great detail.
Sun Chengzong was silent for a moment, looked at Yang Sichang and said, "How were the casualties last night?"
Yang Sichang's face was gloomy and he said: "More than four hundred people died and over a thousand were injured."
Hearing this, Sun Chengzong's face also darkened, and then he looked at Dongfang Bubai and Guan Yutian, and said, "Where are Dongfang Cult Leader and Guan Alliance Leader?"
Just as Guan Yutian was about to speak, Dongfang Bubai suddenly shook his head and said, "Our casualties don't matter. The sons and daughters of Jianghu die in Jianghu. If they die in the hands of Jianghu people, they deserve to die. But if we continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive for long."
"In the past few days, the Qing army sent troops to challenge the pass during the day, and sent people from the Jianghu to attack the camp at night. If there are no reinforcements, it won't be long before all of our people are wiped out."
Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "I have sent a letter back to the capital to report the war situation. Although there is no reply yet, Shanhaiguan is the fortress of the country. Once it cannot be recaptured, the Ming Dynasty will be choked by the Qing Dynasty. They can attack and retreat if they want. Just retreat. Therefore, the imperial court will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it, and will definitely send troops for reinforcements."
Dongfang Bubai shook his head: "Sending troops alone is not enough, we also need reinforcements from top masters and enough masters. During the last battle at Shanhaiguan, General Sun also saw that the Blood Sword Ancestor in the Qing army was extremely powerful. We can't stop him."
"And the reinforcements must be fast!"
"In the past few days, the Qing army has been sending troops to harass and send people from martial arts to attack the camp, but their main force has not moved at Shanhaiguan. Once their main force is dispatched, and the main force of the Qing army and the group of martial arts people come out together, we will be behind in an instant. Defeated, when the Qing army marches straight into the Ming Dynasty, it will be too late to stop them."
Sun Chengzong nodded, he naturally understood this truth.
The reason why the Qing army only sent troops to challenge and sent people from all walks of life to attack the camp at night in the past few days was because the main force of the Qing army was recuperating, and secondly it was to harass the Ming army and first destroy the Ming army's psychological defense line.
By the time the Ming army's momentum was low and almost unable to hold on, the main force of the Qing army was almost fully trained.
When the main force of the Qing army comes out of the pass and goes south in one go, it will be overwhelming. It is impossible for them to stop the Qing army's offensive!
"No matter what, we must defend this place until the imperial reinforcements arrive!"
Sun Chengzong said solemnly: "Reinforcements from the imperial court will definitely arrive in half a month at the latest. I guarantee with my life that the imperial court will never abandon Shanhaiguan!"
"How to stay for half a month?" Guan Yutian frowned.
During this period, the martial arts people in the Qing army relied entirely on the people of the Sun Moon God Sect and the Supreme Alliance to resist. Among them, the Supreme Alliance suffered the most heavy casualties.
If there are no more reinforcements, his men will be wiped out.
At that time, even if you can go back alive, what will you use to fight for the supremacy of the martial arts world?
"Yes, Marshal! With our current strength, we simply cannot hold out for half a month. The most important thing is that the morale of the soldiers is also very low. The battle losses during this period have a great impact on morale." Yang Sichang also He shook his head.
During this period, the Qing army came to challenge many times. Although both sides suffered casualties, they could only be beaten passively and did not dare to fight back. This had a great impact on the morale of the army.
In addition, the Qing army would send people from Jianghu to attack the camp at night, causing panic and panic among the soldiers.
This is not to say that they are afraid of death.
They are all soldiers. From the day they joined the army, they were ready to sacrifice their lives in national disasters.
But even if they die, they still want to die vigorously on the battlefield, instead of having their heads cut off by a group of martial arts people while sleeping at night.
This is so frustrating.
However, with their current strength, even if they wanted to counterattack and recapture Shanhaiguan, there was no chance.
Going back now will only make the army die faster.
If you fight, you will die; if you don't fight, you will die slowly.
This is the main reason for the decline in morale of the army.
"Tap..."
Just when everyone was frowning and thinking about how to hold on for half a month, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the tent.
Then a soldier ran in quickly, with a happy face and said anxiously:
"General Qi, reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived!"
Everyone was immediately overjoyed.
Yang Sichang hurriedly asked: "How many soldiers and horses are coming?"
"Look at the number of people, there are thousands of them." the soldier replied.
Everyone was startled.
Yang Sichang's face darkened again: "What can thousands of people do?"
"But here comes the Jin Yiwei!" the soldier said.
Yang Sichang was overjoyed immediately and stood up quickly: "It turns out to be a Jin Yiwei. With the Jin Yiwei's help, he will definitely be able to kill the Qing army!"
"And it's Mr. Gongyu of Xichangchang who personally led the troops." the soldier added.
This time, Sun Chengzong couldn't sit still anymore: "Quick, follow me to greet Master Yu!"
…
At the same time, on the official road several miles away from the army camp.
A team was marching slowly towards the camp.
This team was composed of Xichang Fanzi and Jinyiwei. Although it only had less than five thousand people, its momentum was comparable to that of a hundred thousand troops.
In front of the army, Yu Huatian was wearing a silver-white python robe embroidered with gold and riding a white war horse with an indifferent expression.
Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Qingqing were also riding horses. The two gathered together and discussed something in a low voice. However, Wen Qingqing obviously didn't want to talk to Yuan Chengzhi, so Yuan Chengzhi insisted on passing by.
When Yu Huatian saw this scene from behind, he couldn't help but think of the original work of "Blue Blood Sword". Yuan Chengzhi seemed to have become Xia Xueyi's son-in-law in the end, and he was paired with Wen Qingqing.
Although the two are brothers and sisters at the moment, Yuhuatian does not intend to interfere. In this world, how far they can develop and whether they can finally become a couple depends on their own destiny.
The team moved on.
Half an hour later, the team arrived at the Ming army camp.
From a distance, seeing Yuhuatian in front of the team, Sun Chengzong led people to greet them.
"Master Yu!"
For Sun Chengzong, Yuhuatian was his benefactor. He was harmed by an adulterer. In order not to make things difficult for Zhu Youxiao, he chose to resign and return to his hometown.
But with a word from Yuhuatian, he was called back from the countryside to lead the army again and became the army commander.
Therefore, he is grateful to Yuhuatian.
Although all the ministers in the DPRK and the Central Government hated the eunuchs, in his opinion, Yuhuatian's actions against Jianghu and the so-called indiscriminate killing of innocent people were all to consolidate the power of the court, to better unify the Ming Dynasty, and to make the people's lives easier. good.
In his heart, Yuhuatian did nothing wrong.
"General Sun, you're welcome. How is the situation now?" Yu Huatian said.
Looking at the veteran who was over fifty years old but still majestic in front of him, Yuhuatian also respected him quite a bit.
People like Sun Chengzong are truly loyal, loyal and courageous people who care about the king and serve the country.
"Master Yu, please come in and talk in detail." Sun Chengzong made an inviting gesture.
Yuhuatian did not refuse, nodded, and rode straight into the camp.
After a while, the Chinese army entered the main tent.
Yu Huatian sat in the first seat on the right, opposite the deputy commander Yang Sichang.
The deputy generals in the army also had no objections to this arrangement.
Although they are not in the capital, they have heard about Yuhuatian's "evil reputation".
Dongfang Bubai didn't speak since Yuhuatian arrived. His beautiful eyes looked at Yuhuatian from time to time, but he didn't know what he was looking at.
Guan Yutian also became more honest. He sat at the second seat and did not speak.
Yuhuatian looked at Sun Chengzong and asked, "General Sun, please tell me about the situation in the army now."
Along the way, near the camp, he also saw many villages and towns that had been swept by the flames of war. Naturally, he could guess how cruel this war was.
Although I could no longer hold back my desire to kill the Qing Tatars, I still had to understand the situation first.
Sun Chengzong no longer hesitated and immediately told Yuhuatian everything about the situation.
After hearing this, Yu Huatian closed his eyes slightly, tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, pondered for a moment, and said:
"There is no need to wait for reinforcements. Apart from me, there are no reinforcements and there is no need to cultivate. We can directly order our troops and prepare for a counterattack to recapture Shanhaiguan tomorrow."
Everyone was shocked.
"So fast?" Sun Chengzong asked.
Guan Yutian also said: "Master Yu, the army has suffered a lot of casualties during this period. Many people in our Supreme Alliance have also died. Most of the remaining people are injured and unable to fight anymore. I have sent people back to gather people. Why don't we do it again?" Wait for two days, otherwise if we fight now, our Supreme Alliance may not be able to use many men."
Yuhuatian looked at Guan Yutian coldly: "If you don't want to go, you don't have to go."
How could he not see that Xiao Jiujiu in Guan Yutian's heart was trying to preserve the strength of the Supreme Alliance.
Now that top forces such as the Shaolin Temple, Xueyue City, and the Nujiao Gang have been eradicated, he is probably already thinking about going back to take action against the Northern Jianghu.
Facing Yu Huatian's gaze, Guan Yutian felt a chill in his heart and said quickly: "I have no intention of doing so. I will obey your orders in everything."
Yuhuatian ignored him, stood up and said: "Gather the troops and set off overnight, attack Shanhaiguan at dawn, and drive those Tatars out of the Ming Dynasty!"
The final word!
Everyone saluted solemnly: "Yes!"
…
At night, the night sky is filled with stars.
A group of martial artists in various costumes crossed the mountains and forests, like ghosts in the night, rushing out of Shanhaiguan and galloping towards the Ming Dynasty camp. Their bright weapons reflected the starlight, and from time to time they emitted sharp energy. Cold light.
These are the masters of the Qing army.
Tonight, they still did not give up attacking the Ming army camp.
This was Obai's plan, and its purpose was just as Sun Chengzong and others thought, which was to break the fighting spirit of the Ming army. When the morale of the Ming army was low, he would then work hard to completely destroy Sun Chengzong's army and invade Shuntian Mansion of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if the Ming Dynasty cannot be destroyed in one fell swoop, the Ming Dynasty must be forced to cede territory and pay compensation to make up for the losses of the Qing army in this battle.
Moreover, this was a conspiracy. Even if Sun Chengzong knew Obai's purpose, he could do nothing but accept it.
Unless he desperately fights the Qing army, but with the strength and strength of the Ming army at the moment, doing so will only speed up the death.
The Qing army occupied Shanhaiguan and used the pass to defend the city. Even if the Ming army doubled its strength, it would not have a chance to win.
Or, just wait for reinforcements to arrive.
However, with the strength and casualties of the Ming army at the moment, it is impossible to survive until reinforcements arrive.
Oboi calculated this very clearly.
In the Shanhaiguan area, he, Ao Bai, is determined to take over, and even the King of Heaven and I can't stop him!
"sough--"
Hundreds of martial artists crossed the plains and galloped towards the Ming army camp.
But just after crossing the plain and before arriving at the camp, a cold voice suddenly sounded from the crowd:
"Stop!"
Swish——
Hundreds of martial arts masters stopped in an instant, gathered together with alert expressions, and glanced around.
Immediately, a man in a black robe came out, his eyes swept around the dark woods ahead, his brows furrowed tightly.
Next to him, there was an ugly-looking man wearing a dark yellow robe, with eyes as cold as poisonous snakes.
Both of them looked a little solemn, staring intently into the woods ahead.
After waiting for a moment and seeing no movement in the forest, the man in black robe suddenly spoke and said in a deep voice: "Aren't you going to show up yet?"
"Tap~"
After a slight silence, a person walked out of the woods, wearing silver robes and white clothes, with a gold medal and jade pendant hanging from his waist. It was like an immortal descended from the sky, making people admire him inexplicably and dare not look directly at him.
"I wanted you to die easily, but I didn't expect you to be quite alert."
Yu Huatian's eyes were indifferent as he glanced over the hundreds of Qing martial arts masters and said calmly: "Is this the only one here?"
The man in black robe also stared at Yuhuatian, trying to see the depth of Yuhuatian.
But after staring for a moment, he found that he couldn't see through the young man in front of him at all. At first glance, he looked like a sword standing in the deep forest, but when he glanced again, he could only see a blur.
He couldn't sense Yuhuatian's realm at all.
The black-robed man's eyes became serious, and he felt a little more vigilant in his heart, saying, "Who are you?"
Yuhuatian didn't hide anything, and said calmly: "Mr. Xichang, Yuhuatian."
The faces of everyone in the Qing army's martial arts camp changed drastically in an instant.
Mr. Xichang, Yuhuatian!
In the past two years, the most popular person in the Ming Dynasty is known as the person with the most evil martial arts qualifications since Bodhidharma, the founder of Shaolin.
How could they not have heard of such a person?
In fact, they took advantage of the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty and the infighting between the West Factory Master and the martial arts community of the Ming Dynasty before they dared to invade the Ming Dynasty.
But according to the intelligence they had, didn't this person not come to the border, but instead he was fighting within forces such as the Blue Dragon Society and the Magician's Palace?
But why does it suddenly appear here now?
Could it be that the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty has been calmed down and reinforcements from the Ming army have arrived?
The man in black robe and the man in dark yellow robe next to him looked at each other, and a bad premonition arose in their hearts.
The next moment, the two took two steps back.
The man in black robe suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Retreat!"
Although they haven't fought yet, a person who can suppress the entire Ming Dynasty martial arts community without even thinking about it must be extraordinary in strength.
Moreover, the man in black robe could not see through Yu Huatian's strength, and felt vaguely uneasy.
Therefore, he thought for a moment and made a decision, intending to retreat first and pass the news back.
But as soon as he moved, figures in flying fish uniforms suddenly appeared in the surrounding plains, and even their retreat was unknowingly cut off by a group of Jinyi guards.
Swish swish swish~
The sound of crossbow arrows being cocked sounded, and thousands of crossbow arrows were aimed at this group of Qing army masters. The cold arrows were like dense fireflies, flashing cold light in the night.
Everyone's expressions changed suddenly.
"Kill out!"
When the man in black robe saw this situation, he immediately shouted, a spear appeared in his hand, and said to the man in dark yellow robe beside him: "Come together and hold him down!"
The man in dark yellow robe did not hesitate, a long sword appeared in his hand, and he instantly rushed towards the Yuhuatian in front of the woods.
But when the man in black robe was halfway through the rush, he suddenly paused, then turned around and ran away in the direction he came from. He was very fast and disappeared behind in the blink of an eye.
The man in dark yellow robe was obviously stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly darkened. But at this moment, it was too late for him to retreat. He could only thrust his sword towards Yuhuatian in front, trying to force Yuhuatian back before turning around and evacuating.
But the next moment, the sword he thrust out was suddenly blocked by a golden light shield, making a crisp sound:
"Ding--"
A hint of astonishment appeared in the eyes of the man in dark yellow robe again: "Aba Aba..."
Hearing this, Yuhuatian was also stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "It turns out he is a mute."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his fingers, and a burst of sword energy rushed out. The long sword in the yellow robe man's hand shook slightly, and then it instantly broke into pieces and scattered.
The man in yellow robe looked horrified and immediately retreated, running in the opposite direction without thinking.
But before he could take two steps, another invisible sword aura came towards him. The man in yellow robe paused, looked down at the bloody hole where the sword aura was raging on his chest, and fell down with a look of reluctance on his face, his vitality slowly dissipating.
[The luck from Tulongzi is +14580. 】
Hearing the system prompt, Yu Huatian suddenly realized: "It turns out he is from the Five Elements Demon Palace."
In the Qing Dynasty, the Five Elements Demon Palace was also a top force. The Aoki Palace in the east, the Shenhuo Palace in the south, the Golden Palace in the west, the White Water Palace in the north and the Xutu Palace in the center.
The owner of each palace has a unique and unique martial arts, which is so good that people in the world are famous and frightened.
This deaf-mute man in yellow robe must be from Xutu Palace.
He was not weak in strength and had reached the third level of Grand Master, but he died a little quickly after being tricked by the man in black robe.
Shaking his head, Yuhuatian looked at the remaining martial arts figures from the Qing army in front.
At this time, this group of martial arts people were already fighting with Jin Yiwei.
This group of people is not weak in strength, but this group of Jin Yiwei are all elite, and there are many masters from the West Factory to help. It won't take much effort to deal with them.
As for the man in black robe who wanted Tulongzi to drag Yuhuatian and he took the opportunity to escape, he did not escape, but was blocked by Ye Gucheng.
This man in black robe is also a great master, and his strength is not weak, but he is still inferior to Ye Gucheng. Soon the protective aura is broken by Ye Gucheng, his body is covered with color, and he vomits blood and flies back.
Yu Huatian slowly walked up to him and said calmly: "What a coincidence, we meet again."
"..." The man in black robe said nothing, staring at Yuhuatian and the terrifying Ye Gucheng and others around him, his heart sank.
He knew he couldn't escape.
Swish——
There was a ruthless look in the eyes of the man in black robe. He suddenly stood up from the ground and rushed towards Yuhuatian in an instant. His momentum was extremely violent and he wanted to drag Yuhuatian to death together.
"madness."
Yu Huatian shook his head, waved his sleeves, and a terrifying sword force was instantly suppressed. The black-robed man's body trembled, and as if he had been hit hard, he immediately vomited blood and flew backwards.
Only this time, before he landed, a terrifying suction force suddenly came from the front and sucked him back again.
Then, he felt his true energy and essence flowing into the silver-robed young man's body.
"Absorbing power! Are you the descendant of Tianchi Weixia?!" The man in black robe looked horrified.
"Tianchi Monster?"
Yu Huatian did not stop absorbing power, but his eyes narrowed slightly: "Do you know the Tianchi Weixia?"
The man in black robe knew that he was bound to die, a trace of despair appeared in his eyes, and he did not answer.
Then, the aura on his body gradually rose, and he stared at Yuhuatian with eyes full of hatred, and said ferociously: "The marshal in charge will avenge me!"
"My hometown of Vacuum, the Inanimate Mother, give me magical powers to save all sentient beings..."
"Click——"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange energy suddenly rose up in the man's body, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He lost all breath in an instant, and actually chose to kill himself.
Yuhuatian frowned, looked at the body of the man in black robe, and murmured:
"White Lotus Sect..."
…
After a quarter of an hour, the fighting completely subsided.
The martial arts people who came to attack the camp from the Qing Dynasty had all turned into corpses and fell on the plain.
The night wind blew in, exuding the pungent smell of blood, which almost made people sick.
A famous Jin Yiwei walked among the corpses. When he saw the ones who were still alive, he stepped forward and stabbed them. Only after he was sure that everyone was dead, they gathered in formation.
"Lord Governor, it's all solved!"
Yu Huatian nodded, looked at the body of the man in black again, remained silent for a moment, then waved: "Notify General Sun, let's go!"
"As you command!"
A Jin Yiwei spy saluted solemnly, then turned around and disappeared into the woods.
Yuhuatian did not hesitate any longer, mounted the war horse that Jin Yiwei brought from the woods, and led Ye Gucheng and others to continue moving forward, heading east.
The people dispatched this time were all elites, so they were extremely fast and disappeared at the end of the plain in the blink of an eye.
Not long after, the dense army of the Ming Dynasty came out in full force, marching on a starry night, facing the stars in the sky, and rushed to Shanhaiguan in a mighty manner.
In this battle, we will drive out the Tartars and restore our mountains and rivers!
