Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

A day later, in a signing room in the Demon-Suppressing Branch, Luo Yan held several documents sent by someone from Le Qianqian with a confused look on his face.

"I still don't understand. What is the situation ahead? I wonder what our chances of winning are in Dajin?"

In fact, the military information compiled by Le Qianqian in the document is very clear and simple.

All news and battle reports from the front are classified by Le Qianqian according to time and place, making it clear at a glance.

The problem is that although Luo Yan knows every word on it, when they are put together, she can't understand it at all.

This is completely different from the official affairs and cases she used to help Li Xuan handle.

This involved topography, as well as the complex army and personnel establishment of Jin Dynasty. How could she understand these in a moment?

Li Xuan understood it clearly, but in the current situation, it was difficult for Li Xuan to determine the outcome of the two sides. He could only shake his head slightly: "It is a stalemate at the moment. Da Jin has a slight advantage, but the odds of winning are hard to say."

At this time, there were three battlefields in the north. The first one was in the direction of "Datong" in the west. The famous general Asizhiyuan commanded 130,000 cavalry and broke through the Great Wall from "Yanghekou".

This path of the Mongols also followed the old path of the Tumu Fortress and the invasion of the south by the Waci army.

However, Azizhiyuan did not march eastward after breaking through the barrier. Instead, he directed his troops directly at Datong, cutting off the connection between Xuanfu and Datong, and suppressing Zhenshuo General Liang Heng. The governors of the three sides of the Shanxi Province, the generals of Datong and the commanders of Shanxi Province made it impossible for the 230,000 troops under their control to aid eastward.

The second battlefield is the main battlefield located in the 'Xuanfu' area.

The Jin Dynasty has assembled 360,000 infantry and cavalry here, under the personal command of Yu Jie, Minister of the Ministry of War, and has gathered several famous generals of the Jin Dynasty. The Mengwu Taishi also first faced tit-for-tat, and assembled a total of 20 troops from Wasac and Tatar. Fifty thousand horses broke through Zhangjiakou and entered.

Li Xuan looked at the battle report ahead and found that Yu Jie seemed to be luring the enemy deeper into the enemy, and that General Yu would first lure him to the south bank of the Yang River for a decisive battle.

Grand Master Mengwu also seemed to have found out Yu Jie's intention first. Although his army rushed the city to break the fortress and was invincible, not a single soldier crossed the Yanghe River.

As a result, the armies of both sides fought repeatedly along the north bank of the Yang River, fighting forts one after another, turning the vicinity of Xuan Mansion into a millstone of flesh and blood.

This is the strange thing about Li Xuan. This situation is actually very unfavorable for the Mongol people.

This will cause the Mongol troops to be wasted needlessly in the defense system around Xuanfu. The numerous military forts outside the Xuan Mansion were enough to drain the blood of the Mengwu cavalry.

But Grand Master Mengwu Yexian was happy with it and did not care about the casualties of his subordinates.

The third battlefield is to the east of the Xuan Mansion. The Tatar General Battelle led 70,000 cavalry to break through the "Longmen Guards", and the front was pointed at the "Chang'an Station".

——The 'Chang'an Station' here is not Chang'an City, but a guard station north of Huailai.

The troops commanded by Battle should be a partial division, with the purpose of forcing Yu Jie to divide his troops, or even intercept the Xuanfu's retreat.

This has already had an effect. A few days ago, Zhu Guoneng, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, had to personally lead 60,000 cavalry to Huailai. He assembled a total of 130,000 cavalry from the surrounding guards in Huailai and the 70,000 cavalry of the Tatar General Battelle. North of Huailai.

There is also a smaller battlefield, the Monolith Fort further east, where there are also 30,000 Mongolian cavalry troops under the city.

Dushi Fort is an important pass on the Great Wall and is stuck at the mouth of Dushi River.

——As we all know, an army of more than 10,000 people must stay close to the river when marching, otherwise the problem of eating, drinking and diarrhea is enough to disintegrate an army.

Even the cavalry from the grasslands are no exception. Although the Mongols can rely on mare's milk to quench their thirst, the many war horses and livestock they carry cannot do without water.

Going south from Dushikou, you can follow the "Dushi River" and "Longmen River" directly to Juyong Pass.

Therefore, after the founding of the Jin Dynasty, a lot of manpower and material resources were invested in building the monolithic fort, which was also repaired by Shaobao. Now it is one of the most important passes on the border of the Jin Dynasty. In addition, the terrain here is dangerous and it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The entire defense system can be said to be impregnable.

Therefore, even if the military strength is ten times that, it will be difficult to defeat it.

At this time, there were 20,000 garrison troops guarding the Monolith Fort, and the possibility of Mongwuna's mere 30,000 cavalry capturing the Monolith Fort was slim.

Then there is the Liaodong battlefield, where the ‘Haixi Jurchens’ who were conquered first are also making a fuss. However, there is not enough trouble there in a short period of time, and the impact on the overall situation is limited, and the power of 'Nuergandusi' is enough to deal with it.

"The current situation is indeed difficult to say whether we will win or lose, but if this situation continues, Mengwu will not be able to hold on any longer sooner or later."

Zhang Yue was born as a general, had a good family education, and had some attainments in the art of war: "They encountered a snowstorm, and supplies were insufficient. It would be good if these hundreds of thousands of troops could persist for a month and a half. Yu Shaobao strengthened the wall and cleared the country, and they don't have it now." The law feeds war with war.”

After he finished speaking, he sighed again: "Only the situation is a bit passive, but now we can only fight like this. We still suffer from the lack of cavalry."

During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty, there were five million horses in the country, of which more than one million could be used as war horses.

However, during the reign of Renxuan, the horse administration of the various guards was corrupted, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of dragon colts and ground dragons were all killed in the Tumu Fort defeat.

Although Yu Shaobao worked hard and managed poorly in these years, he could only recover 90,000 cavalry.

Of the 90,000 cavalry troops, some were scattered in the important towns on the nine sides. Only 50,000 cavalry troops could be concentrated in Xuanfu and Datong.

Before the defeat of Tumubao, the Jin Dynasty had 50,000 armored heavy cavalry alone, and the remaining light cavalry numbered 190,000. This shows that the great defeat did serious damage to the national strength of the Jin Dynasty.

Li Xuan frowned and said: "If it can be delayed like this, the Jin Dynasty will naturally have the upper hand. But first of all, a master of contemporary military art, how can he not know the pros and cons?

If the Mongols fail this time, I don’t know how many of the eight million Mongolian people will suffer famine next year. I guess this person must have some way to break the deadlock. "

The problem is that although Li Xuan is aware of this, he can't think of a way to break the situation.

At this time, he had a vague idea in his mind.

Could it be Zhang Guanlan and his five ‘warships in the clouds’? With the power of the giant cannon in the air, most of the military forts on the border of Dajin could not withstand the power of their single shot. Only Monolith Castle and a fortified city like Xuanfu can hold on for a while.

As a former Yuan Tianshi, Zhang Guanlan was originally the minions and wings of the Mongols. Those five ‘warships in the clouds’ were probably built with the financial resources of the Mongols.

But the Jin Dynasty had already known about the existence of these 'warships in the clouds', and with Shaobao Yujie's caution, he should have been prepared.

But until now, these ‘warships in the clouds’ have not been found—

Li Xuan thought for a while, then wrote a talisman letter and sent it to Yu Jie, the Shaobao who was far away in Xuan Mansion.

He believed that this temple in Shaobao had been planned for a long time, but just in case, he still had to give a little reminder.

In the next few days, Li Xuan continued to train his troops while paying attention to the battle situation in the north.

Before, Li Xuan thought that his Divine Wings could rest here for a while and have a few days of leisure.

But after arriving at Juyongguan, Li Xuan still couldn't restrain his sense of crisis. He began to sharpen his weapons before the battle, and ordered the many Six Daosi demon-slayers under his command to spend at least half a day every day practicing military tactics and battle formations.

In addition, those monks and Taoist soldiers also need to adapt to the weapons and armor issued by Li Xuan.

So every morning, the Liudaosi's Demon Subduing Branch in Juyong Pass made loud noises of killing, which astonished many soldiers in the city.

And on January 27, Li Xuan received an urgent message from Chang'an Guard Station. Zhu Guoneng, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, and the Tatar general Bater fought south of Chang'an.

The Jin Dynasty suffered as many as 20,000 casualties, and the Mongols also buried more than 10,000 bones here.

Judging from the casualties alone, Da Jin was undoubtedly the loser. But since Taizong, the fighting power of the Mongols has been stronger than that of the Jin soldiers and horses.

Zhu Guoneng suffered heavy casualties in this battle, forcing Battle's cavalry to withdraw from the battlefield. From a strategic point of view, the situation of Jin Dynasty further improved.

After this battle, Battelle no longer had the ability to cross Chang'an Station and outflank Xuanfu.

Since the number of soldiers killed by both sides in this battle exceeded 23,000, and the number of strong men from the Fourth Sect who died in the battle reached seven, the local power of the Six Paths Fu Mo Division was no longer enough to suppress it, so they turned to Li Xuan for help and asked him to Quickly lead people to the battlefield to suppress the blood evil spirits here.

Li Xuan did not dare to delay. Less than half a moment after receiving the letter asking for help, he began to gather his subordinates.

At this time, he had a small surprise. Leng Yurou arrived with her modified 'Demon-Suppressing King Kong', along with Xue Yunrou's senior brother 'Xuan Chenzi'.

The transformed 'Vajra' has a very cool shape, with a silver-white armor and a pair of wide silver-white wings behind it. The whole body is surrounded by electric light, making it look like an 'angel' in Western mythology.

Xuan Chenzi is also very eye-catching. He has completely changed into women's clothing. His appearance is beautiful, his figure is enchanting, and he is so beautiful in all kinds of ways - this is actually a great beauty whose appearance can be compared with Xue Yunrou. Li Xuan almost... Didn't recognize it.

Li Xuan has been looking forward to this new 'Devil-Slaying King Kong' for a long time. Unfortunately, time is running out at the moment and he has no time to test out its abilities one by one.

However, after learning that Li Xuan was going north to Chang'an Guard Station, Leng Yurou's eyes flashed: "Young Master, I will go with you."

Xuan Chenzi also smiled sweetly: "Then add me as well."

Li Xuan doesn't mind having two more good players under his command.

He knew that the mechanism puppet "Peacock Thousand Planes" created by Leng Yurou was almost as powerful as a pseudo-celestial being. The transformation of "Demon-Subduing King Kong" was based on "Peacock Thousand Planes".

As for Xuan Chenzi, this guy has obviously broken through the tenth level of the Tower Realm and entered the fourth level of the "Unsullied Book". His magical powers are worth looking forward to.

Li Xuan was still a little worried. He looked hesitant and said, "You can follow us, but what about the Artifact Alliance and Peacock Villa?"

He knew that 'Xuan Chenzi' had accepted a large sum of money from Leng Yurou to become the worship magician of Peacock Villa.

When Leng Yurou went south, it was 'Xuan Chenzi' who was in charge of Peacock Villa.

Although this person is a disciple of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, he is a direct descendant of a foreign surname and will have to find a job outside sooner or later. In the later stages of "The Immaculate Book", a large amount of medicine is also required.

"With the young lady here, there will be no problem." Leng Yurou shook her head indifferently and said with an indifferent expression: "Madam said she was very worried about you and asked me to stay with you as much as possible, young master."

Xuan Chenzi explained with a smile: "There is really no need to worry about Peacock Villa. Ever since you killed Wu Zhiqi, Xiang Yao and Chang Ze in the south, the thirteen members of the Artifact Alliance have been submissive. Leader of the alliance. No one in the entire Artifact Alliance dares to disobey the order.”

He had made up his mind to accompany him because Junior Sister Yunrou had complained more than once about his "not doing his job properly" in the past few months.

This time I am traveling with my family's 'financial master', and I can also give an explanation to Junior Sister Yunrou. Isn't it the best of both worlds?

"Also," Leng Yurou waved her hand again, dumping a lot of metal parts out of the Small Universe Bag, and soon they piled up a small mountain: "Young Master, I have already made the thing you asked me to build. It’s done, but I guess you don’t know how to assemble it, sir.”

Li Xuan's eyes suddenly flashed with light: "Is it done? It's so fast."

He only proposed this idea more than a month ago, and it was not until after the New Year that he provided Leng Yurou with sufficient funds.

"Is it fast?" Leng Yurou glanced at these parts: "It's actually quite simple, much simpler than the Demon-Slaying King Kong."

In her opinion, the thing customized by Li Xuan was indeed much simpler than the Demon-Slaying King Kong. It's nothing more than what Li Xuan called a 'storage battery', a 'capacitor', a few tubes, and some coils. The only trouble is the materials - but as long as you have money, this is not difficult.

The number of parts in the body of the Demon-Suppressing King Kong has reached 7,000, and the internal structure is sophisticated and complex. Leng Yurou gathered dozens of top craftsmen from the Artifact Alliance to complete the transformation within half a month.

※※※※

What Li Xuan didn't know was that just as he was leading a group of subordinates out of the north gate of Juyongguan. To the east of the capital, 18,000 feet above Shanhaiguan, five warships in the cloud are suspended here.

Former Yuan Tianshi Zhang Guanlan stood on the bow of a battleship with his hands behind his back, looking down at Guancheng below.

"Is that the 'Splitting God Crossbow' built by the Ministry of Industry of the Great Jin Dynasty?"

The ‘God-Splitting Crossbows’ he refers to are the three huge crossbows placed on the city wall of Shanhaiguan. Its bow arm is about twenty long, dark in color, and covered with mysterious runes.

At this time, both of the two 'Splitting God Crossbows' had crossbow arrows on their bows. The giant arrows as thick as a human arm were pointing into the sky, and the sharp arrow tips shone with a chilling light that made people tremble.

"This is my first time seeing it, but it must be this thing. It is said that this crossbow is not only powerful, but also has a range of one hundred and fifty miles. In order to deal with your Yunzhong Warship, Yu Jie raided all the treasuries of Dajin , it cost twelve million taels to build a total of thirty-six 'God-Splitting Crossbows', which were placed on nine sides."

Standing next to Zhang Guanlan was a short, stocky man dressed as a Mongol nobleman.

He is Choros Boyantemur, the second brother of the Mongolian Grand Master Choros Yesian. This man's eyes are showing dissatisfaction: "Master! You should not act without permission to attack Longhu Mountain. They are prepared now."

After Zhang Guanlan heard this, he didn't care at all: "I didn't inform the Grand Master about the battle of Tianshi Mansion. It's my fault. But that opportunity was rare. If we can capture the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain in one fell swoop, we can build another Mongolian Mongolia for the Grand Master. Yuan’s great cause has another chance of winning. It’s a pity——”

He shook his head and sighed, with some unwillingness in his eyes, but then he calmed down: "It's a pity that we fell short and failed to succeed. However, this battle did not affect the overall situation. Although these warships in the clouds were exposed, these warships were actually still there at the time. They are not truly completed, and their power is incomplete. It is an unexpected blessing that Dajin can spend huge sums of money to build these large and useless 'God-Splitting Crossbows'."

Boyan Timur looked sideways at Zhang Guanlan: "Are you really sure of breaking the city? The range of the 'Splitting God Crossbow' is higher than the cannon you built."

"The Khan will wait and see later!" Zhang Guanlan smiled confidently: "As long as your cavalry is in place and the Great Khan arrives, the city will be broken!"

When he said this, he turned his attention to Guancheng.

I saw countless Mongolian knights surging from the east of Guancheng, gathering in front of Guancheng and forming an array.

They used ten thousand riders as a square formation, and impressively laid out sixteen square formations in front of Shanhaiguan.

Zhang Guanlan's eyes also showed a look of disbelief at this time: "The pseudo-emperor of the Jin people probably never imagined that the three Duoyan tribes would counterattack at this time."

The three tribes of Duoyan are also members of the Mongolian tribe. They surrendered to the Jin Dynasty three hundred years ago and became the subjects of the "King Ning" of the Jin Dynasty.

After the Jin Dynasty withdrew the 'Ningwang' vassal, the old land of Ningwang was occupied by Duoyan and the three tribes, occupying a large grassland outside Xifengkou, connecting Liaozuo to the east and Xuanfu to the west.

Since the second emperor Renxuan of the Jin Dynasty, although the Jin Dynasty and the Duoyan tribe have been constantly at odds, these three Mongolian tribes have always been important chess pieces of the Jin Dynasty to check and balance the grassland.

But now, the 70,000 cavalry of Duoyan's three tribes have surrendered before the horseshoes of Grand Master Mengwu Yexian!

Boyan Timur was thoughtful at this time, looking towards the north, with a little worry in his eyes.

Even if they can break through the city defense of Shanhaiguan this time, there is another difficulty standing in front of them - the three ministers of the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin Jingtai who is powerful enough to confront the Mengwu Taishi first. emperor.

"Don't worry!" Zhang Guanlan raised the corners of his lips slightly and said with a hint of sternness in his eyes: "The Great Khan will come. If he doesn't take action this time, he will lose the hearts of all the grasslands."

At this moment, he saw a majestic man wearing a golden crown and a mink cloak coming from the air.

He flew thousands of feet in an instant and landed in front of Zhang Guanlan. His face was cold and indifferent, and his words contained unparalleled majesty: "Since all the armies have gathered, let's begin."

Zhang Guanlan immediately bowed deeply to this person: "I will obey the order of the Great Khan!"

In front of his eyes, UU reads a book www.uｕukaｎshu． Net is the contemporary Mongol Khan and the leader of the Tatar tribe.

At this time, as Zhang Guanlan flicked his sleeves, the five warships in the cloud began to form a five-element formation in the cloud sky of 18,000 feet. They aimed their huge muzzles at Shanhaiguan in the distance.

And the next moment, with a huge roar, the fifteen giant cannons fired at the same time. The huge air waves rolled up, causing the surrounding clouds to appear in a ring shape like a smoke ring.

A total of fifteen projectiles, which were the size of a human head, were bombarded in the direction of Shanhaiguan with a massive amount of five-color lightning.

"This is the Hunyuan Divine Thunder?" Boyan Timur's pupils couldn't help but show a bit of strange color.

At this time, Zhang Guanlan stood up with a smile: "The range of these giant cannons of mine is indeed only one hundred and twenty miles, but if you add the Hunyuan Divine Thunder, their range can reach up to two hundred miles, and the power of the cannonballs is It can surge three times. Coupled with the force of the projectile falling from the clouds, it is enough to be invincible and sweep across everything. It's a pity - "

Zhang Guanlan's eyes once again showed regret.

Unfortunately, during the Battle of Longhu Mountain, the Hunyuan Five Elements Formation on the ship still lacked some key components and could not be completed.

Just as they were talking, the fifteen shells had already bombarded the city wall of Shanhaiguan, and once again they made a huge earthquake sound like the sky was collapsing and the earth was collapsing. And the city wall, which was as immovable as a copper wall and an iron wall, also had several huge cracks at this moment.
