The main force of demon man forward was frustrated one after another on the east line. When Wu Jinglin arrived at Guanhe city for approval, he had retreated to Yandang Lake 400 miles south of Guanhe city.
Tianshui County abandoned the land thousands of miles north of Hengshan. The dams of Tonghe River, tiandang River, Guanhe River and other major rivers have been in disrepair for a long time and have been completely abandoned. As a result, the thousand mile plain between Hengshan and yuchengling has become a land of lakes with dense water network. After spring every year, groups of geese, birds and birds inhabit and reproduce here.
Therefore, the Qianli plain between Hengshan and yuchengling is also called yandangyuan.
There are more than 100 large-scale lakes in Yandang. Yandang lake is the largest one and the main lake in Yandang. The lake area is 100 miles wide from north to South and 200 miles long from east to west. It is connected with the water from tiandang River and Guanhe River. There is a river channel at the East entrance and flows into Tonghe river.
In the east of the lake, there is Yandang City, a waste City abandoned by Tianshui county. Now there are only incomplete walls standing in the barren Yandang plain.
Yandangyuan with dense Lake network is frozen after winter, and it no longer becomes an obstacle to the passage of the army.
Even though more than 50000 soldiers of the demon man forward retreated to Yandang lake and no longer directly threatened Guanhe City, they did not directly go to the guanhekou isolated peak gathered in Longxiang camp at this time, but there were still a small group of demon men who wandered and denounced the marquis in the depths of Yandang.
Demon barbarians also have elite cavalry with fast action and fight against demon birds. The wind flame airship still needs to cover up among the peaks at the Western foot of Qintong as much as possible. Therefore, it can only go back and forth one day to pick up and send the soldiers of the same robed army to the isolated peak of tonghekou.
As the commander of the tongpao army, Liao Yunkui boarded the airship with more than a thousand tongpao soldiers at noon on the fourth day. At this time, the scouts released by the tongpao army also detected the main force of the demon man forward and drove from the East Bank of Yandang lake to the isolated peak of tonghekou.
The airship quickly rose to the established height and sped away to yuchengling, leaving several tracks in the blue sky.
Chen Hai and many others have never seen Liao Yunkui, but in order to express their respect, they still arranged a simple school yard in the north of Hekou Gufeng to facilitate the wind flame airship to land more smoothly.
With a distant crane click, the huge figure of the wind flame airship slowly emerged from the southwest.
"If we hadn''t seen each other with our own eyes, who would have thought there would be such an artifact in the world." Wu Jinglin exclaimed.
Although he had seen the magic of the airship many times, he was excited every time he saw the airship take-off and landing and come and go with a huge momentum, and deeply admired Chen Hai''s amazing talent.
In Chen Hai''s opinion, there is no mystery about the wind flame airship caused by the principle of hot vapor ball. The wind flame Tianji composite prohibition involved in the core components is even a yellow magic weapon in terms of complexity, but it really broke through the imagination of people in Yanzhou. No wonder it always caused such a fuss at the beginning.
They looked at each other and smiled, but they didn''t say much.
The airship seemed to be slow and fast. After a while, it came to the top of the people and fell slowly. The strong air flow released made the people''s clothes fly.
After settling down, a middle-aged man dressed in black spirit armor floated down first. His cultivation in daodan territory was undisguised. Chen Hai quickly bowed his hands and saluted: "have you seen Liao Duwei!"
In terms of military system, Chen Hai, as the commander of Jingying army, has a higher status than Wu Cheng. However, some people in Jingjun patriarch or Yanran palace do not want Chen hai to be too powerful in the local area, so that Longxiang camp is controlled by the county government. As a result, Chen Hai''s general rank is lower than that of Wu Chengsheng, but it is still higher than that of Liao Yunkui and other deputy capitals of Tianshui county.
Liao Yunkui took Chen Hai''s arm and said, "there were still demon barbarians wandering before filling the river. Wu Duwei was worried that the demon barbarians were cunning and attacked the important town, so he sent my fellow soldiers to help Chen break the demon barbarians!" at this moment, Liao Yunkui did not disclose the internal disputes to the public for the sake of the dignity of Huayang sect.
Chen Hai smiled and didn''t say anything. He just asked Liao Yunkui to accompany them to the isolated peak to see the situation of tonghekou stronghold under construction.
Yucheng ridge starts from duanlong ridge and goes to zhanma ridge, stretching for nearly a thousand miles.
Although it is known as the mountain of thousands of miles, it is mostly isolated mountains and cliffs, no more than two or three hundred meters high. It is not a dangerous place. No wonder Tianshui county gave up the yuchengling defense line in those years.
Now Chen Hai and his team chose to build a stronghold at tonghekou. The terrain was only slightly steep. In the early years, Tianshui county built Tongkou city here. Later, it was broken by demons and barbarians, and then there was an intermittent broken wall.
The remnant city of Tongkou is adjacent to Tonghe River in the West and Gufeng in the back. At this time, Chen Hai rebuilt the stronghold on the basis of the remnant city and flew to the more than 400 high Gufeng. Liao yunya only saw that there was a busy area at the foot of the peak. The Dragon army and Tianshui children were in full swing to strengthen the stronghold and repair the city.
In particular, the generals of Longxiang camp did not feel any concern beyond the Hengshan defense line.
At this time, it was dusk, and the setting sun shed hundreds of millions of afterglow, setting off the tragic scene of the remnant city and the lonely peak.
Since he decided to send troops, Liao Yunkui''s accumulated depression has not dissipated. At this time, he is close to the forefront of fighting with the demon man and feels the state of soldiers before the war. The accumulated depression has turned into pride. At this time, he can''t help but roar.
The howling went higher and higher, and spread farther and farther. The busy soldiers stopped their work. They didn''t know how Liao Yunkui and other characters suddenly lost their heart and roared wildly. But in a moment, ordinary soldiers could realize that Liao Yunkui''s continuous roaring was unusual. They saw that in the clear and cold sky just now, fish scale like flocculent clouds gushed out of the air in the blink of an eye, The layers are rotating, forming a huge funnel cloud.
The top of the funnel cloud covers the hundred mile sky, but the bottom is as small as a tiny, falling on the top of the lonely peak.
Between heaven and earth, there is no wind.
Many generals were stunned and looked at the situation in front of them.
With the howling, Liao Yunkui''s momentum is also rising slowly, and the smell emitted from Liao Yunkui is more subtle.
Huang Shuang, Wu Meng, Zhou Jun, Su Yuan and others looked at Liao Yunkui in disbelief and thought; In the distance, mother-in-law he, who fluttered her wings and personally monitored the movement of the demon man forward army, looked back in surprise at the height of thousands of miles.
In the remote demon man stronghold on the North Bank of Yandang lake, Muller, who was drinking muggy wine, felt a tight heart and gave a stuffy hum. The skull cup in his hand broke in response. He looked over the big tent, over hundreds of miles of snow and towards the tonghekou.
After a incense stick, the howling stopped.
"Congratulations to Liao Duwei!" Chen Hai, Huang Shuang and others bowed their hands and congratulated.
Liao Yunkui, at this time, only felt extremely light, and his Taoist heart was more transparent and clear. With a slight movement, his divine knowledge was more than twice as wide as before.
He has been in the middle of daodan for more than 30 years, but he has been plagued by years of war; For the sake of the poor family''s children, he linked left and right, exhausted his mind, so his cultivation has been stagnant.
But I didn''t expect to stand on the lonely peak at this moment and go away with all my depression. The Taoist idea turned out to be difficult to contain. In front of the people, I stepped into the later stage of the Taoist Dan realm.
Although it is far from the perfect fusion of Taoist pills and the cultivation of Taoist tires is not reasonable, there is hope at last.
Liao Yunkui smiled and saluted, "it''s hard to help yourself. I hope Chen Hou doesn''t think it''s strange."
The soldiers of yuchengling below knew that there was strong help, and they couldn''t help cheering.
At this time, a team of about 100 dragon spirits rode from a distance.
These people were covered with blood and tired, but there were one or several ferocious demon brute heads hanging in front of the war horse, but the soldiers of several horses were not sitting up, but tied to the horse''s back with ropes. I think they died in the battle with the demon brute!
"Hanjiang, come and meet Liao Duwei." Chen Hai shouted. It turned out that Qi Hanjiang led a team to clean up a small group of demons. He scolded the Marquis or scattered troops.
"At the foot of Hengshan City, the demons were defeated. I led a large army to chase them and break them up. I didn''t know how many demons were. The small demons were not powerful, but I couldn''t let them gather up calmly. Every day, I would send generals to personally lead elite cavalry to attack and kill the scattered soldiers and denounce the marquis. In the past few days, I have achieved a lot." Chen Hai looked at Liao Yunkui, puzzled and explained.
Qi Hanjiang flew over to Gufeng, saluted Liao Yunkui first, and then Chen Hai reported the results of the war.
After the report, Qi Hanjiang said anxiously: "although there have always been gains in the past two days, it is more and more difficult to bite the small demons around tonghekou. It can be seen that the small demons around tonghekou are no longer the scattered soldiers scattered before, but the elite reprimands sent to us by the main vanguard of demons!"
Chen Hai looked at Qi Hanjiang''s face full of wind and dust. He couldn''t hide his tired color. He also knew that today''s cleaning up was very hard. He encouraged him to have a rest first.
After giving Liao Yunkui a detailed introduction to the situation near the tonghekou, Chen Hai invited him, Wu Jinglin, Liu Chun and others to discuss the war in the Chinese Army''s big account.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, someone had already lit a torch. The brazier in the tent crackled and drove the biting cold outside the tent.
More than ten people sat down around the stove. Chen haiheel personally told mother-in-law he, who denounced Hou''s enemy situation:
"Mrs. crane, please tell us the current situation first."
Mother crane answered and pinched the formula. The topographic map of the line from Hengshan to yuchengling was slowly displayed in the middle of the big tent with a light curtain.
"The demon barbarian forward was divided into two parts to advance the Hengshan defense line. We killed the eastern line and abandoned our armor. After escaping to the West and meeting with the soldiers retreating to the South on the western line, they rested on the West Bank of Yandang lake, but they moved again from yesterday. A cavalry, with extremely fast speed, has advanced about 150 miles away from the tonghekou and stationed in a remnant stronghold. The main force is expected to arrive the day after tomorrow."
A thick red line is displayed on the topographic map and extends to a point more than 150 li away from the isolated peak of tonghekou.
"At that time, there will be 50000 demon and barbarian soldiers in the west," Chen Hai said after a long pause, looking at the enemy situation displayed by mother crane in silence "The fourth and fifth battle battalions of Longxiang camp, together with Liao Duwei''s 9000 people, have only more than 20000 elite available, but I don''t hide it from Liao Duwei. Although the heavy loaded crossbow is very sharp, the reserve of Heavy Crossbow ammunition is less than 30000 and can''t be used easily. Therefore, even if the main force of demon barbarians in the North doesn''t come, it''s still very difficult for us to resist the 50000 fighting power of its vanguard."
"How to deal with it?"
Liao Yunkui was anxious and helpless. If Wu Cheng was willing to order 100000 troops and horses to cooperate with the Dragon army with extraordinary combat power, the odds of victory would be great.
But now more than 20000 people will die. Relying on the remnant stronghold with little defense, they can fight against 50000 demon savages. There is a great disparity in strength.
Looking at the fluctuating flames, Chen Hai told Liao Yunkui about his plan.
"Tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the fourth world war camp here," Chen Hai said, pointing to the remnant stronghold more than 150 miles away, where seven or eight thousand demon and barbarian soldiers had entered, "The Tonghe River breaks its banks almost every year. The lower West Bank has long become a land of lakes and marshes, especially 30 or 40 miles below the remnant stronghold. It has become a swamp that devours people and animals for a hundred years. Now it is in the middle of winter, and the land is frozen, so we can''t see anything, but if we can temporarily remove the compound prohibition of wind flame and heaven from chariots and wind flame airships and bury them in the ground in advance Next, we will send a team of soldiers and horses to lure the seven or eight thousand demon barbarians from the remnant stronghold and lead them to the swamp. At that time, we will trigger prohibition and melt the frozen soil. With the clumsy body of demon barbarians and beasts, it will be inconvenient to move into the mud. We can wipe out the demon barbarians and frustrate their spirit again. Then even if more than 40000 demon barbarians surround the tonghekou, It must be a lingering fear that we don''t dare to attack indiscriminately. And we will fight slowly until the beginning of next spring, which should not be a problem... "
After thinking for a while, they all agreed.
"At that time, the responsibility of luring soldiers will be borne by my children in Tianshui county." Liao Yunkui asked for a fight at this time.
"Our Dragon army and demon barbarians have been fighting constantly these days. We have a good understanding of them and are familiar with disturbing and luring the enemy. Tonghekou is the fundamental place for us to resist the enemy outside Yucheng ridge. We can''t afford to lose. Moreover, the camp here is not completely repaired. There are also Liao Duwei and brother Jinglin here. I can safely lead the troops to fight." Chen Hai tried his best to persuade Liao Yunkui to stop fighting.
After discussion, Liu Chun, on behalf of Liao Yunkui, led a group of Tianshui County soldiers to participate in the ambush of luring the enemy tomorrow; at that time, Liao Yunkui, Wu Meng and Wu Jinglin led the fifth battle battalion of Longxiang camp and Tianshui County soldiers to stay in the remnant village of tonghekou.
It was not dawn, but yuchengling stronghold had already survived.
Torches were shining brightly all over the city, and teams of the fourth World War battalion gathered in an orderly school field.
Sitting on the broad back of a red lion riding beast, Chen Hai, together with General Huang Shuang, Zhou Jun, Qi Hanjiang, Han Jian, Han wendang, Liu Chun and other generals, stared at the soldiers and horses of the fourth World War battalion and some Tianshui County soldiers standing in awe. In this war, he could not use the heavy crossbow with extremely limited reserves of heavy bullets. He could only adopt conventional traditional tactics. Perhaps many of these fresh lives today would disappear.
Chen Hai took a deep breath and ordered the army to pull out. He saw a group of soldiers out of the city, rolling forward like an iron stream in the night.
On their heads, mother crane led a group of war birds to cut through the night sky.
