Protect Our Patriarch

…

the same time period.

Yan State control area, Huaiyin county county seat.

As an outpost for the attack on Beiliang, Huaiyin County City has long been levied by the imperial court as the garrison of the Central Army of the Southern Yan Army.

Naturally, the Prince's Mansion in the county town became a temporary "Central Army tent".

now.

Inside the residence of Prince Huaiyin.

The grand banquet hall, which was once used for banquets, has become a conference hall for holding battle meetings. The layout of the hall has basically not changed, but the original luxurious decorations have been removed, and only some basic functions have been retained.

In addition, a giant sand table is placed in the center of the hall. The sand table of different colors simulates the terrain changes around Huaiyin County and Huaiyang County, as well as the military deployments of the two sides…

Around the sand table, the marshal of the main army of the Yan Kingdom [Prince Huaiyin] was having a meeting with other core members of the army.

Prince Huaiyin was an imposing middle-aged man with a majestic appearance and extraordinary bearing. Because he has been on the battlefield all the year round, he has the suffocating aura unique to the people of Gu Junlu, which looks extremely intimidating.

The rest of the people present are also the commanders of each legion, each with a suffocating aura, and they look extremely difficult to provoke.

The busy days made everyone's faces a little tired, but at this moment, the expressions on everyone's faces were very serious.

"I'm calling you here today because I have important military information to inform you." Prince Huaiyin said sternly, "According to the secret report of the [Magic Falcon Battle Group] that cut into the hinterland of Liang Kingdom, their tactical play was very successful. Several cities have been connected in time."

"Great! This result will definitely give that old dog Zhenyang and the old thief Qingyu a headache." A younger army commander was immediately overjoyed and slapped the table in surprise.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he quickly restrained his expression, but his face was still filled with joy.

You must know that in this confrontation with Liang Guo's main army, Yan Guo mobilized and assembled five legions, with a total of more than 200,000 troops.

Aside from the local defenders stationed in the defending city and the troops invested on the battlefield outside the territory, most of the main force of the whole country has been assembled in Huaiyin County.

In the stalemate and tug-of-war for more than 50 years, both countries have suffered heavy losses. Now they have collectively fallen into a state of war weariness and exhaustion, and their national strength has also been weakened by the wear and tear of war.

Now, both Liang and Yan want to end this protracted war as soon as possible.

It's just that after years of fighting, the hatred between the two sides has accumulated more and more, and it has long been a **** feud. If anyone dares to propose a peace, most of them will not be able to escape the ending of being drowned by spittle stars. Therefore, the best result is to obtain an advantageous victory in the battle, forcing the opponent to take the initiative to seek peace.

As a result, with the passage of time, the atmosphere of the battle between the main armies of the two sides became more and more intense.

The news of Prince Huaiyin can be said to have given everyone a shot in the arm, making the faces of the legion commanders present with joyful expressions.

Among them, the commander in charge of the left wing of the group army [An Naval Regiment] [Prince An Hai] also had a happy expression on his face, and he felt his chin and pondered: "Now the Qingyu old thief and his personal guard [Red Fire Heavy Cavalry] have both been taken by His Majesty and Xuan The mountain iron cavalry is restrained in the East Sea Port. The main force of the two holy places of the two countries are also restrained by each other. Now, the situation of the old dog in Zhenyang is embarrassing. "

"This king wants to see, whether the old dog in Zhenyang will choose to split his troops and return to defense, or will he be forced to jump over the wall and cross the river ahead of time to fight me to the death."

"It is impossible to return to the defense. The Demon Falcons are the elite Chao clan, and their comprehensive strength is no less than that of the Xuanshan Iron Cavalry of the Chinese Forbidden Army." The commander of the Heiyang Army [Prince Heiyang], who was in charge of the right wing of the army, sneered, " If Beiliang wants to pull the net to encircle and suppress the Demon Falcon Battle Group, if there is less return aid, he will send vegetables. If he wants to gain an advantage in the encirclement and suppression, the Zhenyang old thief must send at least a 50,000-strong army back to defense. Hey, if he really is Being so bold, my main army can take advantage of the situation to cross the river and have a head-to-head battle with Liang Guo's army."

"Hehe~ The old dog in Zhenyang has about the same strength as us. If there is a complete lack of a reorganized army, how can the old thief in Zhenyang resist our army's offensive?"

The Marshal Prince Huaiyin nodded, first confirmed the other party's speculation, and then calmly analyzed: "Based on the 'friendship' between this prince and Zhenyang for 50 years, there is a high possibility that he will not return to help, but They will choose to cross the river ahead of time and start a head-to-head battle between the main armies of the two sides. If they win, the Falcons that go deep alone are the turtles in the urn. If they lose, they can only honestly bear the consequences of the defeat. Naturally, it is impossible to watch Liang Guo be completely destroyed."

"Liang Guo's defeat is certain, and it is inevitable for the Xian Dynasty to intervene. The current optimal strategy of our Dayan country is to defeat Liang Guo's army as soon as possible, and swept forward at the fastest speed to capture Huaiyang, Jinfeng, and Futong three counties. At that time, even if the Immortal Dynasty reacts to intervene, because Liang Guo's defeat has been decided, His Majesty the Demon Emperor can set aside a county rich in copper as a strategic deal when negotiating with him."

Take three counties!

Liang and Yan currently only have nine counties each. If they can win three counties at once, it will be twelve versus six in the future. Even if they have to spit out one county due to strategic mediation, the future will be eleven versus seven. situation.

Once this situation has been stabilized for thousands of years, the state of Yan has digested the benefits it has brought, and its national strength will be prosperous. At that time, what will the state of Liang use to compete with the state of Yan?

If the next immortal and demon war starts, the Yan Kingdom may be able to take advantage of the situation to annihilate the Liang Kingdom in one fell swoop and dominate the Lingqu Continent.

Thinking about such an opportunity to make contributions makes all the legion commanders excited.

"Therefore, under the strategic layout, this king plans that once Prince Zhenyang takes the initiative to attack, our army will also give up the defensive posture, take advantage of the situation, and speed up the time to take full advantage of it. At that time, Prince Anhai on the left wing of our army will be responsible for containment. The enemy Qingfeng Legion. And ordered Chao's reinforcements [Devil Corps] to quickly circle to the back of the Qingfeng Legion, and join forces with your troops to defeat the Qingfeng Legion." Marshal Prince Huaiyin commanded solemnly, "This battle is extremely critical, There must be no mistake."

Prince Anhai's expression turned solemn, and he immediately said, "Our army is in command."

"Prince Heiyang listened to the order. The right-wing Heiyang Corps you are in charge of also implements the same tactics. Once our vanguard corps is fully engaged with the enemy, it will immediately join forces with the reinforcements [Black Eagle Corps] to defeat the enemy's [Anping Corps]. ." Marshal Prince Huaiyin ordered.

"Marshal and don't worry, the Black Eagles are extremely powerful. With them, they can easily tear apart the flimsy defense on the opposite side and implement the hammering tactics. The Anping Army will definitely be defeated." Prince Heiyang was overjoyed. Take command.

Once this battle is successful, he can get a lot of credit.

Seeing that they all understood their strategic thinking, the Marshal Prince Huaiyin nodded with satisfaction, and then solemnly exhorted: "This battle is related to my country's destiny, so don't be careless. Anhai, Heiyang, your two legions will defeat the enemy. After the legion, remember not to chase down the routed troops greedily, but to regroup immediately, to outflank the main enemy's rear path from both directions at the same time. We want to win this battle related to the national fortune in the shortest possible time."

Saying that, he stood up and looked at the crowd with bright eyes: "Everyone, it's up to you whether you can be famous in history."

"Yes, Marshal!"

All the legion commanders were excited.

…

Liang Guo.

Jinyangwei at the junction of Huaiyang County and Futong County.

Unlike Huaiyang County, which is a plain area of ​​Yimapingchuan, there are many mountains and mountains in Futong County, and there used to be rich copper mines underground. The word "rich copper" in Futong County is also named for this.

And Jinyangwei was once famous for smelting copper mines and its related industrial chain.

But now, with the increasing scarcity of copper resources, Jinyangwei has gradually lost its former glory and has become an ordinary acropolis.

Because Liang and Yan have been at war for more than fifty years.

In order to prevent accidents, the city guards in various places have also organized the establishment of "rural brave teams".

It's just that Jinyangwei is not on the main battlefield, and the troops capable of fighting and fighting have also been recruited many times. Today, the only remaining regular army has only three local patrol battalions that are not satisfied with the formation, and the regular army has less than 1,000 troops.

In contrast, the local township troupe is more attractive.

Under the leadership of the two seventh-rank families, the Jinyang Murong Clan and the Jinyang Zhao Clan, a total of four militia battalions were organized, consisting of one thousand and several hundred Xuanwu monks, and three or four thousand strong mortals. The official name is [Jinyang Militia Regiment].

It's just that the composition of the thousands and hundreds of soldiers with cultivation bases is a bit complicated. They are clansmen, generals, elders from more than 30 aristocratic families, large and small, and even loose cultivators stranded in Jinyangwei.

As for the thousands of mortals, although they were also armed with bows, knives, and guns, their combat effectiveness was really worrying. They could not be counted on in the frontal battle. They could only help maintain law and order, repair fortifications, and do logistical supplies. .

Ever since he received the latest "Notice of Going to the Peak", the guardian of Jinyang City [Wei Boqiu] started to organize a civil defense team to start active defense.

All the descendants of the aristocratic family and related people have now moved to the Acropolis, and those still stranded in the towns and villages are unarmed civilians and tenant farmers. Whether they can survive or not can only be left to fate.

Jinyang Acropolis is not small, but it cannot accommodate millions of civilians in various towns and villages.

This kind of defensive power is not a big problem to resist and contain an ordinary chapter, but what they will face is an elite chapter that kills like numbness.

Even the city guard Wei Boqiu and the two ancestors of the Heavenly Family could only hug together, praying with trembling hearts, hoping that the elite battle group of the enemy would pass by from somewhere else, and don’t take Jinyang by hand. Wei called.

But their prayers apparently didn't work.

Just as they waited in trepidation for the verdict of fate.

A scout force consisting of dozens of people, wearing jet-black armor and riding a black-scaled one-horned warhorse, appeared several miles away from the Acropolis with lightning speed.

They were ferociously armored and had a cold aura, and the one in the lead was even more imposing. Although Yingyingchaochuo couldn't see his appearance, he could feel the powerful sense of oppression emanating from him.

The dull sound of horse hooves was steady and powerful, as if stepping on the heart of the city wall defenders, making people almost suffocated.

[The First Vanguard Battalion Scout Team of the Demon Falcon Chapter].

This is undoubtedly the sharp knife elite in the Demon Falcon Chapter.

The one who leads it is the deputy and scout captain of the first pioneer battalion of the chapter, named [Chao Wenguang]. He was born in the collateral line of the Chiyue Chao clan, and because of his good aptitude since childhood, he was recruited to the Chao clan soldier's center for careful training.

After many years, at this moment, he has already been a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles, and his strength has reached the realm of heaven and man.

Especially those eyes, deep and solemn, exuding an indifferent peace of life and death.

As for the dozens of brothers behind him, several of them are in the late stage of the spiritual stage. Although the rest of the people's cultivation is slightly worse, they are at least in the middle stage of the spiritual stage. , as if only a few dozen people can besiege the city.

No wonder.

The Demon Falcons are considered elites among the Chao clan soldiers, and since their establishment, they have always represented the Chao clan on the battlefield outside the territory. Even in the extraterritorial battlefield where the masters are like clouds, the Demon Falcon Chapter can be called the main Chapter.

This kind of battle group with a long history will naturally have a lot of military exploits and brilliant resumes worth boasting, which is one of the necessary factors for condensing the soul of the army.

But correspondingly, such a battle group is also extremely indifferent to human life.

"Deputy commander." An elite scout looked at Jinyangwei's defenders indifferently, "It's such a small town, it's too boring. Why don't we simply bypass these broken cities and go directly to attack the rich copper county town. ."

"This matter is not something that my little deputy commander can call the shots." Chao Wenguang said indifferently, his expression unchanged, "However, with the personality of the regiment commander, this siege battle will definitely be fought."

"Hehe~ The Luping City in front of you didn't hold on for even a day before it fell. This Jinyang City is not as big as that of Luping City, and I don't know how long it can last under the attack of my magic falcon elite." The elite scouts showed cruelty on their faces. With a smile, "Ten hours? Or eight hours? At that time, I will start killing again."

"Old Yang, what's the point of killing people?" Another elite scout laughed, "The female relatives of those local families have a different taste. Compared with the savage and brutish women in our demon dynasty, I like those weak and watery young ladies. It's a pity that the one I caught last time was only Miss Zhimai from the seventh-grade aristocratic family, I really want to taste the taste of a young daughter."

"Lao Qiu, your grandson still thinks about the daughter of the seventh-rank family's direct descendant? That's the exclusive privilege of the head of the regiment and their deputy. Even the deputy commander can only stare at him and see if he can get some soup to drink."

"Hahaha! I hope that the deputy commander can have soup, we can also take a sip, hehe!"

After talking, a group of elite scouts burst into laughter.

They were all cultivated in the middle and late stages of the Lingtai Realm, and they deliberately spoke loudly and laughed, and the voices easily reached the ears of the defenders on the city wall.

The defenders were all filled with righteous indignation, showing humiliated expressions.

A group of female women holding swords and wearing women's basalt costumes were even more angry and flushed.

Among the women, a handsome woman in a sauce-colored uniform and a purple gauze crown took out a spiritual bow with sullen eyes, twisted the feathers and tied the strings, and drew the bow and fired in one go.

A sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded, and the sharp arrow shot out like lightning, flying towards the elite scout leader from a distance.

The arrow was casted fast and fast, and at a glance, it could be seen that its power was extraordinary.

"Miss Qianqian is mighty!"

There were bursts of cheers from the defensive team composed of all the women, and all the women showed their admiration to her.

This woman's name is [Murong Qianqian].

She is the direct daughter of Jinyang's seventh-rank Murong Clan, and is also a core disciple of the Futong Zifu Academy, with a bloodline qualification close to that of Xiaotianjiao.

At a young age, she already had a mid-level cultivation base in the spiritual stage. She should have been cultivating in the academy, but this time she was just going home to visit relatives.

She is extremely confident in her bowing skills, and can usually hit a tree with a thick bowl from a distance.

Unexpectedly.

Facing the sharp arrow that came from far away, Chao Wenguang didn't even lift his eyelids, he just gave a hint of heaven and man.

Only a loud "bang" was heard, and the arrows containing profound energy exploded like flowers in an instant.

"How can it be?!"

Murong Qianqian's pretty face changed suddenly, and she realized that something was wrong in an instant. Could it be that any vanguard on the opposite side is actually a powerhouse in the realm of heaven and man?

And at the same time.

In the distance, loud noises like muffled thunder rolled in, and the ground shook violently like a landslide.

It was the sound of galloping horses.

The [Magic Falcon Battle Group], known for its speed and surprise attack, finally came to the city.

In the deafening roar, the dark crowd rushed in like a torrent, swords, lights and swords, war horses neighing, and the momentum was monstrous.

The camp at the forefront was naturally the vanguard camp to which Chao Wenguang and the others belonged.

As soon as the main force arrives, the battle begins.

The leader of the vanguard camp was a strong middle-aged man named Tu Ping'an.

On the way to attack, Tu Ping'an waved his long sword and shouted first: "The regiment commander has an order, attack the city immediately! If you can't take down Jinyang Guard in five hours, the commander of each battalion will take 30 whips by himself. Chao Wenguang, you go ahead with this commander. Climb the city wall and make way for the brothers."

"Yes, Commander."

The deputy commander Chao Wenguang responded loudly, then immediately turned his horse's head and led his elite scouts to join the sprint team of the vanguard battalion.

The black-scaled unicorn warhorses under their crotch are all Tier 3 spirit beasts, extremely fast, and have outstanding defense, which is by no means comparable to ordinary warhorses.

But in the blink of an eye, the black iron cavalry rushed out with a monstrous aura, and ran towards the city wall of Jinyang City.

The defenders on Jinyang City responded quickly, and immediately someone shouted and began to organize an interception.

In the whistling sound, a group of arrows rained from the city wall.

The dense rain of arrows fell like raindrops, covering a large area of ​​sunlight in an instant. Looking around, the top of the head was black.

The two Heaven and Human Realm commanders did not change their faces, they waved their profound energy to easily resist, and in an instant, the arrow rain was cut into pieces, even if they occasionally slipped through the net, they would not be able to shoot through the vest.

But in just a dozen or so breaths, the elite soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion passed the distance of Li Xu under the leadership of the two Heaven and Human Realm commanders, and arrived not far from the city wall like a black torrent.

The guards on the top of Jinyang City were pale, and a few timid ones were so nervous that their whole bodies began to tremble.

At this moment.

The two Heaven and Human Realm leaders swelled with profound energy all over their bodies, and at the same time rose into the air, ready to fly over the city wall to sweep away the miscellaneous soldiers, leaving room for the subsequent vanguard troops to climb the wall.

Although the Lingtai Realm can also be vacated, it cannot stay in the air for a long time, and can only glide for a short time. With the two of them clearing the way, it will be much easier for the follow-up Spirit Stage Realm to climb the city wall.

Unexpectedly.

They just took off and rose more than ten feet high, when they were about to cut out the sword energy.

Suddenly!

A startling sound suddenly sounded.

Different from the bowstring sound next to it, this startling sound was as dull as thunder, as if a dull hammer hit the hearts of the two commanders, causing their hearts to stagnate for no reason.

Chao Wenguang's pupils shrank, his intuition not good.

However, before he could react, a lightning-like sharp arrow pierced his chest. A fist-sized hole appeared on his chest with armor.

Blood spurted out from the sky.

After penetrating Chao Wenguang, the arrow remained undiminished, and shot all the way to Li Xukai. After piercing through several elites of the Demon Falcon Chapter, it sank deeply into the ground.

In the flash of light and flint, Chao Wenguang was carried by the tyrannical force on the arrow and flew back several dozen meters, and then fell to the ground exhausted.

Blood was pouring all over the ground, and Chao Wenguang was in a mess at the moment, and it was extremely miserable, but the powerful vitality of the cultivator in the realm of heaven made him never die for a while.

When he was dying, there was only one thought buzzing in his head: how is it possible?

I, Chao Wenguang, will be shot to death by a cold arrow!

"This…"

Murong Qianqian stared blankly not far away, unable to return to her senses for a long time.

There, at some point in time, there appeared a heroic young boy in bright silver armor.

She watched the arrow go out of his hand with her own eyes.

His facial features are as beautiful as those carved by craftsmen. The same armor is nothing special when worn on others. When worn on him, it seems to give him a halo, which makes him look like a novel. The **** of war in general.

He held a bow and arrow and shot through Chao Wenguang, as if a magic weapon had descended.

etc! Why has she never seen this boy before?

Such outstanding appearance and temperament, if she has seen it, she will definitely remember it. Moreover, she had never heard of such a number one person in Jinyangwei.

Just when she was confused, the bow actually spoke.

"Wang Anye, UU reading www.uukanshu.com you are going too far! I am a dignified Taoist slaughtering bow, and you actually asked me to shoot a little boy." A cold snort came from the bow, and anger was clearly mixed in the voice.

"Didn't my great-grandfather change your name to 'Careful'? Don't you think that [Tu Sheng] is too stressed?" Wang Anye answered innocently.

"This time and the other. When I followed Venerable Blood, I felt that Tu Sheng was under a bit of pressure." Tu Sheng Gong said confidently, "But after getting along with the master for a long time, I gradually feel that our future prospects are limitless, Tu Sheng is destroyed. Xian is no problem."

"So, you won't be allowed to use me to kill the little one in the future. Hey, what are you doing? Let me go..."

"call out!"

Another arrow was fired, this time hitting the pioneer battalion commander Tu Ping'an.

In the blink of an eye, he flew out like Chao Wenguang and lay down in one place.

Pity the two battalion commanders of the dignified elite chapter vanguard battalion, who didn't even survive half a chapter.

…
