Starting from the year 933 of the Black Iron Calendar, after Zhang Tie destroyed the three camps of the Demon Clan and killed four of the Demon Clan's four holy warriors, the Jihad situation in Taixia was reversed in an instant with the momentum of a rushing river. The Taixia army, which had always been in a defensive position, began to switch from defense to offense. Like a prairie fire, it entered the area controlled by the demons and began to regain the lost territory. In just over half a year, it had been occupied and operated by the demons and accumulated heavy troops. Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Yuzhou, and Anzhou, which were used to threaten Lingzhou, Yuezhou, and the Tongguan defense line, have been recaptured by the Taixia army.
Even from the perspective of a historian, this is a landmark event, worthy of special mention, because this is the first time since the beginning of the Holy War that Taixia's army has begun to regain lost territory on a large scale. The demon army The knights and knights began to retreat, which was a huge turning point in the entire human jihad battlefield.
Just like the huge turning points that occurred on the Eastern battlefield, turning points are also taking place unconsciously on the northern and southern fronts of the Holy War battlefield in the Western continent.
Starting from the winter of 932 in the Black Iron Calendar, the coalition forces on the Western Continent suddenly began to find that the offensive pace of the puppet armies of the Holy Alliance Empire suddenly slowed down. It started with the attacks launched by the Holy Alliance Empire troops on the land battlefield. The number of attacks is becoming less and less, and the use of candle oil weapons in the hands of the attacking army is no longer so unscrupulous. Then in the sky, the reaction speed of the air cavalry of the Holy Alliance Empire Army is also becoming slower, and the wings that appear in the sky are The number of demons began to increase. After continuous tentative attacks, the human coalition forces in the Western Continent first established an advantage in the sky. Later, after gathering and analyzing intelligence from all parties, the human coalition forces in the Western Continent finally confirmed that, seemingly overnight, Candle oil can no longer be produced within the Holy Alliance Empire.
For the army that has become accustomed to using and relying on candle oil, once there is no candle oil, it means that planes will no longer be able to fly in the sky, which means that all soldiers will have one less daunting candle in their hands. Oil weapons, in this case, even if the Holy Alliance Empire's army is supported by demons, it is no longer possible to maintain the previous attack rhythm.
Not only that, when the three camps of the demons in Taixia were destroyed overnight, it was difficult for anyone in the Western Continent to see the existence of a large camp with a large number of demon knights. It was originally established within the territory of the Holy Empire. The two demon camps disappeared overnight. Under this situation, the morale of the Western Allied Forces was greatly boosted. After stabilizing the northern and southern fronts, they finally began a counterattack in local theaters.
And on May 1, 933 in the Black Iron Calendar, which was the same day that Zhang Tie swore his oath at Xuanyuan Hill, after more than half a year of planning, the major counterattack of the human coalition forces on the northern and southern fronts of the Western Continent finally began. The situation on the Holy War battlefield in the Eastern and Western continents began to develop rapidly in a direction that was beneficial to the human race at the same time. The power of the demon race and the demon race's lackeys began to collapse like an avalanche.
In June 933 of the Black Iron Calendar, Zhang Tie arrived at the holy war battlefield of Taixia. In the same month, hundreds of legions of Taixia's Heijia Army, Shence Army, Yulin Army and other four armies were divided into five armies. From Tongguan and the recaptured Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Yuzhou, and Anzhou, they simultaneously invaded the areas occupied by the Demons and began the battle of recovery. The Taixia Five-Road Army was unstoppable all the way. By the time they arrived in 934 of the Black Iron Calendar, In just one year, Xianzhou, Pingzhou, Jingzhou, Dingzhou, and Luozhou were successively recovered. When the news came, the whole country of Taixia rejoiced.
…
On the Wei River in April, the ice on the water has already melted. Viewed from the air, the flowing Wei River is like a green belt tied to the earth. At noon, the sun shines high, and the huge Taixia Aerial Battle Fortress emerges from the sky. It flew from the east, leaving a huge sliding shadow on the devastated ground.
A demonic war fortress standing on the ground, with a height of more than a thousand meters, like a strange tree in the sky, is standing on the east bank of the Wei River. The shadow of the human battle fortress in the sky, in just a moment, the demonic tribes were destroyed. The war fort was covered.
On the ground around the war fortress, a fortress beetle covered with steel scales raised its head and stared at the war fortress in the sky. Some fortress beetles began to run around nervously, and some fortress beetles were heading towards the fortress. It spits out the mucus in its mouth at the sky, but the mucus spit out by the fortress beetle is only a few dozen meters at most. For an aerial battle fortress flying tens of thousands of meters in the sky, it is too insignificant and has no effect at all. It is simply like on the ground. The crawling ants want to drown the soaring eagle in the sky with their saliva.
The reaction of the fortress beetle was instantly transmitted to the demon war fortress, and the demon war fortress that looked like a strange tree in the sky seemed to sense some kind of danger. Black mist began to emerge from the mouth of the war fortress. Come out and block the airspace around it.
But all this is also in vain.
Once the demon's war fortress completes its transformation, it will be completely unable to move. Without the protection of other demons, its air defense capability will be almost zero.
It's a pity that within the thousand-mile airspace surrounding the huge aerial battle fortress, not even half a demon knight can be seen, not even a few winged demons.
Just when the Demon Clan's War Fortress was working hard to swallow the black mist, a bright lightning shot from the battle fortress in the sky and landed on the Demon Clan's War Fortress. The Demon Clan's War Fortress In an instant, just like a castle made of sand on the beach that encountered a tsunami, it was suddenly reduced to rubble. The ground of several square kilometers around the war fortress was swept by terrifying high temperatures and strong shock waves in an instant, and everyone gathered in this war fortress. The fortress beetles on the surrounding ground suddenly turned into smoke...
Just a few seconds later, on the ground where the demon war fortress was located, there was nothing left except a big pit. Just a few fortress beetles that were just ten thousand meters away were screaming like nothing. Running around on the ground like a fly with its head on its head.
On the aerial battle fort, Zhang Tie slowly retracted his outstretched hand, frowning slightly, looking at the Wei River that appeared in front of him again, the inexplicable irritability in his heart did not completely disappear.
Behind Zhang Tie were hundreds of Taixia generals and knights. Everyone was looking at Zhang Tie. But few people paid attention to the disappearing demon war fortress on the ground. To these generals and knights, Once the demon's war fortress is no longer protected by the demon knights, it is destined to turn into ashes. Not to mention them, even the air cavalry troops following behind can easily wipe out the war fortress.
Zhang Tie just took action, probably just to have fun because his hands were itchy, just like when a person is walking by the river and gets bored, he will pick up a stone and float it on the river.
It has been almost two years. None of the generals and knights of Taixia who followed Zhang Tie have seen Zhang Tie take action again. The last time Zhang Tie took action was in Ningzhou. A Demonic Sky Knight flew just a few meters away. In the airspace thousands of miles away from the battle fort, Zhang Tie flew out from the battle fort. After a while, just a cup of tea, Zhang Tie came back with the head of the armored demon Cang Qiong. From then on, the battlefield Never again encountered a target worthy of Zhang Tie's action.
No one spoke behind Zhang Tie. Over the years, everyone around him has developed a habit. As long as Zhang Tie does not say stop, this air combat aircraft, which is the arrowhead and pioneer of the Taixia Five-Road Army, will Fortress, they will keep flying forward like this and crush all the enemies they can see along the way. No enemy can stop them. No matter what obstacles they encounter, they are nothing in front of this aerial battle fortress. , everyone firmly believes that they can even fight all the way to the disaster area...
"Stop..." Zhang Tie still spoke. He did not turn his head, but just raised his hand. The aerial battle fortress that was flying slowly in the sky stopped, "We are here waiting for the ground behind. The troops and several other armies arrived. When the Wei River freezes in winter, everyone will cross the river. Then we will drive the demons completely from the ground to the underground, end the holy war on the ground, and recover the entire territory of Taixia... "
Hearing Zhang Tie's words, the eyes of the generals and knights behind him became hot. Just opposite the Weishui River, the only places that the demons can still occupy are Yinzhou, Wuzhou, Zhuzhou, Yezhou and From the barren state outside Yezhou to the area between the disaster areas, it is only a matter of time to regain these places, and the time does not depend on the knights who rush at the front, but on the five-pronged army. The engineer corps behind the ground troops is re-laying railways and building roads at such a speed that only when the railways and roads are rebuilt and supplies and personnel can be continuously transported in can the ground troops gain a firm foothold, then it can be called recovery.
…
As the air battle fort stopped in the sky on the south bank of the Wei River, thousands of knights in the air battle fort rushed out of the air battle fort one after another and began to sweep the area thousands of kilometers around the battle fort. -Generally speaking, after they sweep, Taixia's air cavalry troops will come over to wash the ground again, and then the vanguard legion of ground troops will arrive. After the vanguard legion, there will be the fourth army of the upper four armies, dozens of An engineer corps followed behind the fourth army and worked desperately to repair railways, roads and field airports. Behind the engineer corps were the state armies from various states that followed, followed by the first batch of local officials and Experts in various fields and various business groups who sense business opportunities...
There are not many demon knights in the surrounding airspace of thousands of miles, which makes many knights who go out to clean up curse in their hearts. They know that there is a group of people who have penetrated into this area before they arrived. Those people, He is a strong knight at the level of the major sects and wealthy families in Taixia.
When the situation of the Holy War is not going well, these sects and wealthy families will behave more conservatively than Taixia's regular troops, shrinking to protect themselves one by one. The forces that can be sent to the battlefield are very limited, and once the Holy War begins, When things get better, these sects and wealthy sects will, in turn, become more radical and bold. The originally shrinking and conservative wealthy sects will all rush to put the elite forces of their families or sects on the battlefield and automatically become kings. precursor.
On this day, nearly five years have passed since the day Zhang Tie left Xuanyuan Hill to pledge his allegiance. The situation of the Holy War has already undergone earth-shaking changes...
And for some reason, just in the past few days, Zhang Tie always felt that he was inexplicably irritable and uneasy...
