On the edge of the Three Kingdoms battlefield, on the western border of Lang State, is a desert called Qinglang Plain.
The army under the command of General Li of the Qingqiu Divine Kingdom excavated the earth and built a city. There were formation masters accompanying the army. With nearly a thousand remaining warships as the core, they hastily constructed a simple city defense formation, which barely managed to withstand the enemy's violent attack. .
The city is not big, with a radius of only a dozen miles, but it has gathered over a million remaining soldiers and defeated generals.
The number of armies surrounding them from all sides was more than twenty times that of the remaining soldiers in the city? The number of large and small warships floating in the sky alone has exceeded 10,000. With only a million remaining soldiers, it stands to reason that a single salvo from this fleet would be enough to wipe them out completely.
How could the temporarily built city defense array be able to withstand the salvos of the fleet array
Heavy snow was rolling down all over the sky. Outside the city, there was a vast expanse of white, and the snow was about ten feet thick. More than a thousand battleships were suspended in the sky. The battleships erupted with dazzling light and emitted terrifying heat. The snowflakes that fell above the battleships were completely evaporated before they even hit the ground.
Not a single snowflake can fall into the city.
And this simple and temporary military city has been without water for half a month.
The main army commanded by the Xiang family on the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms was defeated too quickly, and was almost completely wiped out in just a few hours. The legions commanded by the generals who cooperated with the Xiang family in the battle were beaten dizzy and fled in confusion by the coalition forces of the two countries before they could figure out what was going on.
All baggage, food and fodder were abandoned, and a large number of warships were either destroyed or fell into the hands of the enemy.
The remaining defeated soldiers under Li's command reluctantly retreated to Qinglangyuan, surrounded by enemy forces from all sides. They had no way to escape and could only build a city to protect themselves and wait for backup.
Qinglang was originally the most remote place in Langzhou, with many Gobi deserts and little water. It relied on the heavy snowfall every winter to replenish the few underground rivers with a little water.
The enemy fleet besieging the city caused the snowflakes to evaporate at high altitudes, and not a drop of water could fall into the city.
In the city, several deep wells that were barely dug have been dry for half a month. In these days, the soldiers in the city dug tens of feet deeper as much as possible without affecting the foundation of the city defense formation, but there was still no trace of water in the dry well.
Generals with advanced cultivation levels in the Mingchi Realm and the Fetal Treasure Realm are still able to persevere despite being short of water.
As for those soldiers whose cultivation level was not above the Chonglou Realm, they had reached their limit without drinking water for half a month. The whole body of the healthy soldiers who were not injured was already like this. Those who were injured, especially the seriously injured soldiers, had fallen down piece by piece.
Outside the city, in the Wei Shenjun camp besieging the city, in the Chinese army's tent, Linghu Jiu was holding a bright pearl, squinting, and carefully looking at the western frontier of Qingqiu Divine Kingdom, which was hundreds of feet in radius in front of him and was condensed with magic power. Geographic map.
This geographical sand table with condensed mana is much more detailed than the "Overall Map of Jiangshan Sheji" used by the Qingqiu Divine Ministry.
At least on the geographical sand table in front of us, there are records of many trails known to herb collectors, but in the "Global Map" of the military department, only those roads that can be traveled by carriages are marked.
This geographical sand table is the result of the Linghu family's countless spies, countless time, effort, and money spent in careful investigation little by little during the countless years they have been in charge of the military. This geographical sand table can be called a supreme weapon for marching and fighting. Such an important weapon, Linghu secretly kept it and only gave an overall map that was a hundred times rougher to the military department for preservation.
This geographical sand table is also the only treasure in the entire Linghu clan. It has been secretly kept in Tushan Hall. It can be called one of the Linghu clan's treasures. When Huqiu was attacked, the entire Linghu family's core bloodline was wiped out. Naturally, this geographical sand table was also looted, and now it is back in Linghu Jiu's hands.
"If Linghu Qingqing knew that we were using this sand table to fight against his loyal ministers and generals, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would vomit blood."
Linghujiu straightened up and nodded towards a spot on the sand table with a smile.
"The one who leads the army in the city is probably Li Moyou. The current head of the Li family can be considered a capable general... In such a completely collapsed situation, to be able to gather millions of remaining soldiers, it is a good choice to choose a place where six earth lines converge. It is not easy to set up a stronghold in a place."
"Li Moyou... is not bad. The army he commands is not bad either." Linghu Jiu said calmly: "Force him to surrender. Kill him if you can, but don't kill him indiscriminately... They are all the blood of the dynasty. Kill them, and then Da Wei and Da Wu suffered no damage at all, but we ourselves suffered heavy losses."
A member of the Linghu clan took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Young Master, I'm afraid that Xiahou Xi'an can't wait any longer. We have surrounded them for more than a month without fighting. This is the case in one place, and it is like this in two places. Now This is true in dozens of places..."
Linghu Jiu smiled slightly and said calmly: "If you can't wait, then you can't wait. If he can't wait, he can order an attack on the city. But tell him, if a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry or resists stubbornly, he will be the one who is killed or injured. Wei’s soldiers.”
The luminous pearl in his hand danced deftly on his fingertips. Linghu Jiu said slowly: "Tell him that he is now the crown prince of the Wei Dynasty. This time he comes to attack the Qingqiu Kingdom to give him a chance to gain fame... If he The loss of troops and generals is too great. Do you want to lose his good reputation among the people of the Wei Dynasty?"
Linghu Jiu glanced at the many members of his family in the big tent and said leisurely: "Ask him, is it possible that he doesn't have a competitor within the royal family who is eyeing him?"
All the Linghu clan members laughed in unison.
Linghujiu nodded lightly and said faintly: "Remember, brothers, remember, remember... This time, our Linghu clan has experienced a major change that has never been seen in countless years. It is extremely dangerous, but it also contains endless opportunities."
"One step to reach the sky and achieve eternal greatness, or one step to reach nothing and die without a burial place, haha... Everyone should be more cautious, and more cautious." Linghu Jiu closed his eyes, and a few blue veins were beating rapidly between his eyebrows.
"Be careful, be cautious, and then, let's all work together and use our brains every day to plan and make decisions... Don't just focus on eating, drinking and having fun every day, think carefully in your heart."
"From the time Linghu Qingqing decided to seek the throne and usurp the throne, he thought carefully, thought carefully, and calculated the causes and consequences... and then to the critical situation our Tushantang lineage is currently in, how did we go from Huqiu to being... "Sold to the Wei Dynasty... I have thought carefully about who might be the instigator."
"Think boldly, guess boldly, and don't let go of any possibility. Even if your ideas are more bizarre, you may be able to save our entire Tushantang lineage and our Linghu clan."
Linghujiu exhaled heavily, opened his eyes, and rubbed his temples with both hands: "Headache, headache. There are many key points here that I can't figure out."
"In the past, if you couldn't figure it out, you couldn't figure it out... If you couldn't figure out what's going on right now, you'd be dead."
"I don't feel sad about the death of other people's children, but for our own clansmen... if one of our own is injured, it's like having five fingers broken. It makes me sad..."
Before he finished speaking, a piercing scream rose into the sky from a distance.
Linghu Jiu's body swayed and turned into a cyan afterimage. He rushed out of the Chinese army's tent with a wisp of breeze. He suddenly jumped into the air, stepped on the flowing clouds and rushed straight to the sky thousands of feet above the ground, heading toward the screaming He looked in the direction of the sound.
Far away in the east, streaks of red fire shot up into the sky, tens of thousands of feet above the ground, and then exploded violently into clouds of fire that flickered in the night sky, emitting a dazzling glare. Shine in all directions.
One after another secret military orders were passed like drums and flowers. Every hundred or so miles, dozens of fiery red orders shot straight into the sky. It took only half a cup of tea to reach the middle distance. On the beacon tower, which was no more than a dozen miles away from the military camp, there were already blood-red orders soaring into the sky.
After about three breaths, a buzzing sound came from Linghu Jiu's sleeves.
Linghujiu took out a sound transmission talisman from his sleeve, tapped the jade talisman with his finger, and heard a rapid voice coming from inside: "Young Master... I'll wait..."
There was a 'Pfft' sound, and no more sound came out.
The corners of Linghujiu's eyes twitched.
The command letter is easy to send. When facing an emergency military situation, this kind of voice transmission command talisman is not as useful as the command letter that can be sent to the sky with a shake of the hand.
Nowadays, blood-red letters are bursting out all over the sky, which shows that there is an urgent military situation. However, the front-line troops in contact with the enemy at the front have not been able to send back any useful information. The corners of Linghu Jiu's eyes twitched violently, and he murmured to himself: "Linghu Qingqing, is that you?"
A flash of green light flashed in Linghujiu's eyes.
He squinted his eyes and said faintly: "Originally, Tushantang is only responsible for the blood inheritance and maintaining the bloodline of Tianhu. This is Tushantang's duty."
"However, since you, Linghu Qingqing, have taken this step... the lives of countless members of Tushan Hall are now in the hands of others... No wonder I, the young master of Tushan Hall, want to fight with you."
"Let's see, it's your lineage that has the ability. It's me, Tu Shantang, who has inherited the best Tianhu bloodline."
"No matter who you send, no matter how many people you send... Anyway, I, Linghu Jiu, will take over."
As soon as he murmured to himself, a member of the Tushantang clan silently appeared behind Linghujiu and handed a cyan secret talisman with blood lines to Linghujiu: "Young Master, this is News from over there.”
"The one who betrayed the Xiang family's main army's mobilization route and cooperated with us to annihilate the Xiang family's army?" Linghu Jiu sneered, took the secret talisman, and put it between his eyebrows.
"Linghu Qingqing, Linghu Qingqing, who can blame this? As the founding emperor of the Qingqiu Divine Kingdom, you have not even been able to clean up the country... I don't even know that you sit in the position of the emperor. Is it really so comfortable? It’s inexplicable.”
Wisps of spiritual light flowed from the secret talisman into the center of Linghujiu's eyebrows. Linghujiu was stunned, and then he laughed.
"It's the An Wang Huo Xiong who took away the sacred weapon of the Great Martial Kingdom, the Black Sky Cauldron... Haha, this guy is ruthless and despicable? This evaluation is very high. It seems that he is a talent."
"Well, the Gongdian Yamen of the Qingqiu Divine Kingdom was just slaughtered? Even the master of the Gongdian Palace, Situ Wei, was beheaded?"
"Well, he is a talent that can be reused."
"It's just that now he is our enemy, which is a headache."
"Hiss, this guy came all the way from Qingqiu City. He wiped out all the state and county soldiers of the state army along the way? Hundreds of thousands of large transport ships? How many soldiers did this guy bring? He is, this is... He even brought countless minions from the Sensory Realm? What does he want to do? Ah? What does he want to do?"
"The Sensory Realm... What does he want to do by sending such a thing to the battlefield? The hundreds of thousands of Sensuan Realm are just ants in the Life Pond Realm that can be wiped out with a single secret technique. He brings these wastes to the battlefield. , what are you going to do?”
Linghujiu looked blankly at the direction in the distance where messages were coming from all over the place.
Suddenly, the sound transmission talisman in his sleeve began to tremble again. He hurriedly took out the sound transmission talisman, and finally a heavy breathing sound came from inside: "Young Master, be careful... they are..."
A loud noise came from the sound transmission talisman. It can be imagined that a powerful spell blasted down, blasting the person transmitting the sound into pieces together with the spiritual talisman.
"It came so fast? Surprisingly, no one was able to send back a complete sentence? Who are they? What are they doing?"
The corners of Linghujiu's eyes beat violently.
Then the sound transmission talisman began to shake again, but before Linghu Jiu could open the talisman, the movement of the talisman suddenly disappeared. It was obvious that the person responsible for the communication on the opposite side was killed again.
"When we send out scouts, we must find out clearly what happened in front of us?"
Linghu Jiu murmured to himself: "It doesn't make sense. An Wang Huo Xiong has such a shallow foundation. How many people can he have on hand? Such a speed of attack is simply contrary to common sense. Even if it is covered by naval guns, There’s absolutely no way I can’t put it back on without saying a word…”
Linghu Jiu suddenly felt a warning signal in his heart. He took two steps back suddenly. With a "chi" sound, a long, thin arrow with a hint of fishy smell silently passed from his nose. Linghu Jiu felt a slight burning sensation on his nose due to the strong wind brought by the arrow as it flew past.
"assassin!"
Linghu Jiu roared loudly, a layer of spiritual light flashed on his body, and more than a dozen extremely high-grade defensive treasures immediately protected him.
Dozens of generals with auras flowing around them roared from all around, protecting Linghu Jiutuan.
But no more arrows struck, and instead, terrifying howls came from everywhere in the camp below.
The wind howled, the snow rolled, and invisible arrows struck like ghosts in the wind and snow. Many unsuspecting middle-level officers shuddered, and more than a dozen arrows were inserted into their vital parts, and then they collapsed. It collapsed and fell to the ground.
An inexplicable poisonous gas spread rapidly in the air.
The stronger the wind, the faster the poisonous gas spreads. Wherever the invisible poisonous gas passes, large swaths of Linghu Jiu's soldiers fall to the ground.
Before Linghujiu could think of a way to deal with the situation, the gate of the camp to the east burst into pieces, and thousands of burly figures burst into the camp with dazzling blood-colored flames all over their bodies.
"Qingqiu Divine Kingdom, under the command of An Wang Huo Xiong, went to the death camp to lead Xiang Zhan here."
"Go to the death camp and kill!"
Thousands of heavy weapons were raised high and then slashed forward heavily.
With just one blow, thousands of hurricane dragons swept across the camp, and large areas of the barracks were shattered. With just one blow, at least a hundred thousand elites were shattered to pieces.
Linghujiu finally roared: "The enemy is attacking, fight!"
Before he finished speaking, the heads of dozens of guards around Linghu Jiu were shattered. A burly old man appeared behind him out of thin air and punched him in the head.
