My thoughts got stuck yesterday. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, so I have a day off and will continue with three updates tomorrow. Happy Dragon Boat Festival to everyone!
When they arrived, they learned that the battle situation near Ancient Crane City had changed again. The Yunxia City army has withdrawn five hundred miles away. Officially merged with Lieyan Mountain City, and set up formation again at a place called Huling Hill.
Hu Qianqiu also abandoned his defense and without hesitation pushed his army hundreds of miles forward to the opposite hinterland of Yuning Province, where he and Qiu Wei garrisoned troops in front of Huling Hill.
In just two days, the two sides have fought more than ten times, with more than 200,000 casualties on both sides, and each side has won or lost.
Knowing this latest development, Hu Zhongyuan suddenly changed his color slightly. Zong Shou summoned several messengers that Hu Qianqiu had sent back to Ancient Crane City and asked them in detail. After a while, the situation of the battle ahead was fully understood.
"This Feng Fury is truly a hero! No wonder he can fight against a figure like Zong Weiran for several years and never fails. Don't underestimate him."
Raising all the mighty troops to attack Ancient Crane City was actually just a facade. Using the battle of Ancient Crane City as a cover, a high-walled fortress and countless pits were built near Huling Hill quietly.
What is rare is that it includes Qiantian Mountain. The sentinels from all sides were unaware of it.
If Taoyun City hadn't been defeated too quickly under his all-out advance, the three provinces would have been wiped out in just over twenty days. Taoyun City has three million soldiers and generals, and most of them have been defeated in five consecutive battles. I'm just afraid that this person will succeed and build this Hulingqiu defense line.
-If this is the case, even the Wind Fury Hero cannot withstand their attack.
We can also use this as a basis to drain the blood of Qian Tiancheng bit by bit.
Seeing that Hu Zhongyuan still had an uneasy expression on his face, Zong Shou immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will not accept your life. Uncle Hu decisively abandoned the defense and turned to attack to prevent Feng Fury from building this Huling Hill defense line. If he Because he obeyed my order and sat back and watched Feng Nu succeed, I wanted to blame him. I saw that these ten ordinary battles were aimed at the key points of Yunxia Lieyan's two armies. No matter whether they won or lost, they could disrupt the opponent's rhythm. Uncle Qiu and Uncle Hu are indeed worthy of being a famous general in hundreds of battles - they are almost keen to detect the cunning of Hu Qianqiu and Qiu Wei. For Lieyan Mountain City, at best, it is just interference, making it unable to smoothly renovate the defense line. For the eastern front line where Yun Xia's army is stationed , but it was obviously a 120% effort. There were more than 200,000 casualties on both sides, but nearly 40% were from Yun Xia's side.
After Hu Zhongyuan was startled, he obviously breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was Zong Shou's blame. The transformation from the previous contempt to the current awe was completed unconsciously.
There is no longer any fighting near Ancient Crane City. Zong Shou simply stayed here and rested for two more days. It wasn't until all the 20,000 elite cavalrymen under his command had completely recovered their energy that they galloped towards Huling Hill without any haste. It seems that he doesn't care about the battle ahead.
Only the people accompanying him included three thousand more fine cavalry. The first one is named He Li, who is not only the city lord of Ancient Crane City, but also the leader of the Danhe clan.
Another large clan under Qiantian Mountain surrendered to Zong Weiran only four years ago. However, he has always been away from home, working as a pastor and guardian of Qiantian Mountain. And what He Li was leading at this moment was none other than the most elite Danhe Yunqi in his clan.
With light armor and light cavalry, they can march 1,800 miles without stopping throughout the day and night. Because of the special mounts, they can even fly over mountains and ridges. The combat power is also better than that of ordinary elite cavalry. It is the most elite light cavalry in Qiantian Mountain.
This clan also often produces spiritual masters, who are especially good at healing poisons. It is said that Zong Weiran had played their tricks before, but somehow, he completely surrendered to the Danhe Clan and was willing to serve them. Together with the three million people of Ancient Crane City, they became the people directly under the jurisdiction of Qiantian Mountain.
Zong Shou had also been poisoned by this demon player from the Danhe tribe in the God Emperor game before, almost killing him on the spot. You must know that at that time, he was already well-known in Yunlu for his sword, and even those top players at the same level as the Seven Emperors had never put him in such a miserable state.
Therefore, whenever this He Li followed him, Zong Shou always felt a hair in his heart, and he was a little wary and on guard. Fortunately, He Li is actually not very old, only about twenty years old. She looks a bit feminine, always smiles when talking to everyone, speaks softly, and doesn't seem like a dangerous person.
Even if he has some bad intentions, given this person's age, he is probably not very powerful in terms of poison.
The so-called Huling Hill is a small hill with a radius of only ten miles and the highest point is only about a hundred feet.
Naturally, it is impossible for all the millions of troops on both sides to gather in one place. Fengnuo's Hulingqiu defense line only uses Hulingqiu as a link to connect several surrounding medium-sized cities. The entire battlefield spreads for nearly 130 miles, with millions of people distributed in this area, fighting against each other.
When Zong Shou arrived, he first chose a high ground to observe and look at the land here. After only a moment, I already knew why Feng Fury chose this battlefield where the terrain was not outstanding.
On one side of this place is a large mountain, and on the other side is a large river called Peihe. This place is like a funnel, and at the tip is Huling Hill.
- It is indeed an important place for military strategists. If you block it here, you will block the vital point of Yuning Province. You can cover several provinces in the rear and completely protect it.
Even the Xiongba can be used as a flank to defend the nearby Shengde Province.
Taking a closer look at the defense line built by Feng Fury, Zong Shou also completely stopped thinking about using the Yuan Mie Nu.
The Feng Fury had obviously taken precautions specifically for this, and its army of more than one million people was spread out over a wide area. Even where the troops are most concentrated, there are only tens of thousands of people, relying on high walls to resist, and then using rangers to support them. Firmly resist Hu Qianqiu's offensive outside this line of defense.
Although he was only looking at it from a distance at this moment, Zong Shou had a feeling. Those who have already built the fortress walls probably have spiritual formations to prevent the impact of Yuan Mie Nu.
Although the Yuan Mie Nu is powerful, it has only one attack method. As long as you are prepared in advance, it is not difficult to deal with it.
This is why it is such a powerful tool. For thousands of years, few people have used it on the battlefield.
After looking at it for a moment, Zong Shou closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while. Then he picked up a branch and kept writing in front of him.
After a while, the situation map of the entire Hulingqiu frontline appeared on the muddy ground.
Zongyuan, Chai Zhou, Lingxuan, Hu Zhongyuan and the others looked at each other in silence. And that He Li also raised his phoenix eyes sideways, observing with great interest.
Then I saw Zong Shou, pointing from the left direction, drawing a thin line, pointing directly to the side and rear of the Huling Hill battle line: "Zong Yuan, can you lead the 20,000 elite cavalry to break through from here?" I want you to point directly at this place within five hours."
Zong Yuan raised his eyebrows, leaned over and took a closer look, looking back and forth, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. Then without asking any questions, he just led the leader and said: "I understand!"
The eyes of everyone around him also brightened slightly. These people are all people who are well versed in military matters, and they discovered almost intuitively that this line can be said to be a direct attack on the waist and side of Yunxiao City.
My Lord is still as sharp as when he swept through three provinces a few days ago.
This place is not only the weakest point of Yun Xia's army at this moment. If a breakthrough can be made from this, it will pose a great threat to Yun Xia's army's rear. It was enough to force Feng Fury to give up this line of defense and retreat to regroup. Even if one person fails to respond well, hundreds of thousands of generals will be killed here.
Na He Li couldn't help but admire that this method was indeed vicious and accurate.
Then Zong Shou, who was about seventy miles behind, said softly: "Hecheng Shou, I know that you Danhe Yunqi have always been marching at the speed of marching, and are proud of Yunlu. If you are alone, you will wait. How sure are you of detouring from the nearby mountains and attacking the city from behind? How long will it take?"
"Gushan City?" He Li's eyes were slightly! Shrunk, and then asked doubtfully: "Apart from the open terrain and accessibility from all sides, there is nothing worth noting. Why should your Majesty care about this place?"
Zong Shou immediately frowned. In the past ten days, he had commanded an army to fight in the three provinces of Huanlong. Hu Zhongyuan and others never asked or questioned his decision. Even veterans like Chai Yuan bowed to him. These harsh words made him somewhat unaccustomed.
But he didn't care much about it immediately. He was not the kind of person who had a domineering temperament and didn't want others to talk to him.
Tell me your own inferences, and with the help of the wisdom of a few people here, you can fill in the gaps.
Then he said directly to the Peihe River: "In the past few days, both Yunxia Mountain City and Lieyan Mountain City have been transporting supplies to Yazhong through this Peishui. Food and grass are also piled up in several cities beside the river bank. Transported to the armies one by one."
Gu He nodded, the situation is indeed so good." But this seems to have nothing to do with Gushan City
"It's just that I'm just a little surprised. That Feng Furious Xiongba knew that all the cloud ships on our side had crashed into the sand. But more than a thousand of our cloud ships have returned safely, and they can enter the Pei River in just a few days. He Why do you dare to treat this river so seriously?"
When they heard this, everyone around them was suddenly stunned, showing excitement. And Gu He also had bright eyes.
"The fleet in Peishui is just a cover-up. It may even be a trap to lure our fleet commander to attack! So the real food and grass distribution center of Yunxia City is in Gushan City?"
Speaking of which. Gu He's thoughts became more and more scattered: "The Lord Qianzong originally attacked here, just to disturb people's ears and attract the nearby Yunxia City army. The real heavy attack turned out to be here. To be so valued by the Lord, It’s a great honor for Guhe”
"Zongyuan and the others are here to bring you back safely."
Seeing Zong Shou's face, he said with slight approval: "In short, give me a fire to burn this Gushan City within ten hours!"
Gu He didn't say anything and just leaned forward slightly. But Hu Zhongyuan was a little curious: "So where are you going, Your Majesty?"
"Me?" Zong Shou smiled again: "Of course I will go to Feng Nu Xiongba and the others to negotiate. If this battle can be avoided, it would be better not to fight."
