The night is as bright as the day.
The wilderness outside Dayan Pass was illuminated by thunder and lightning.
The thunder rumbled like thousands of horses galloping.
The desperate screams of the Mongol cavalry and the neighing of horses echoed throughout the wilderness.
“Boom!”
At this time, more Mongolian cavalry came galloping from a distance.
The cold murderous aura came like a storm.
From the perspective of their spirits, above their heads, storm vortices composed of clouds of energy and blood were roaring towards them as they ran!
The air seemed to be torn apart.
The powerful murderous aura and blood force, forming a terrifying momentum and the army's unique blood storm, swept in like a strong wind and huge waves.
now.
Even Luo Qingzhou, who was riding on Long Er, suddenly felt his soul tremble.
Without any hesitation, he immediately said, "Let's go!"
Long Er swung his long tail, carrying lightning, and flew along the border between the two countries towards the high mountain forests in the west. At the same time, he said to the galloping cavalry in a rough voice: "Humans, this dragon will come back again! The human race will decline, and the demon race will prosper!"
Crocodile Tyrant also hurriedly swung his long tail and followed closely behind, roaring at the Great Yan Pass: "If Heaven had not given birth to me, Crocodile Tyrant, my tyranny would last forever like night! I, Crocodile Tyrant, will come back again!"
When tens of thousands of cavalrymen from the Mongol Empire approached with a storm of energy and blood, the two behemoths had already fled.
At the same time, the thunder tribulation above his head had also disappeared.
The 8,000 Mongolian cavalry had been completely wiped out, leaving only a few scattered cavalrymen, shivering in the distant caves, mud, and grass.
Nudo, the general of the Mongol Empire, was shocked and angry when he saw the scene.
His eyes suddenly turned to the Dayan Pass in the distance.
The city walls were covered with dark green venom, and there were gaps on some of the walls. The two arrow towers had collapsed, and many soldiers on them were running hurriedly with torches in their hands. It was obvious that they had also been attacked by the monsters.
How come the demons suddenly appeared here
He was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
At this time, a soldier was helped over, one of his arms had been burned. He endured the severe pain and reported: "General, the fifth prince... the fifth prince was eaten by the giant crocodile..."
As soon as these words came out, Nuduo's face suddenly changed, and he asked in surprise: "The fifth prince was eaten?"
The soldier said with a painful expression: "I... I saw it with my own eyes..."
Nuduo's face was filled with shock, and he suddenly asked, "Where are the other practitioners? Didn't the Fifth Prince bring more than 200 practitioners with him to Da Yan this time? And the Seventh Prince! Oh, and there are two people from the Piao Miao Xian Sect."
"They were all...killed by those two monsters..."
The soldier said this tremblingly, then fainted from the pain.
Nuduo's face turned extremely pale, and his hand holding the hilt of the knife trembled: "More than 200 practitioners, including the Seventh Prince... were all killed... The disciples of Piaomiao Xianzong were also killed..."
Suddenly, he shouted to the surroundings: "Search for the whereabouts of the others immediately! If they are alive, we must find them; if they are dead, we must find their bodies!"
He just couldn't believe that so many people were eaten by those two monsters.
At this time, the eastern sky had begun to turn white.
Dawn is breaking.
The cavalry of the Great Mongol Empire were searching the wilderness for corpses and survivors.
Even the flesh and blood on the ground were taken back.
At this time, Luo Qingzhou had already taken Long Er and E Batian and returned to Dayan via a detour.
As the King of the North, he issued an order for all the troops in the North to gather at the border passes and prepare for battle.
The reason given to the outside world was that the border pass had been attacked by demons and more demons might be coming, so preparations had to be made in advance.
In fact, it was preparing to deal with the invasion of the Mongol Empire.
The five princes of Dameng, masters of the Guiyi realm, and more than three hundred practitioners all died tragically. How could the other party let it go
Even if they really believed that it was the demon clan who did it, they might vent their anger on Dayan.
Besides, people are not that easy to fool.
They would definitely be suspected.
Given the other party's current military strength, even just suspicion is enough to launch a war of invasion.
But if he were given another chance, he would still kill those people without hesitation.
He had temporarily endured the oppression of Piaomiao Xianzong, because he did not have the strength to challenge them now. Who would have thought that the Great Mongolian Empire would come again and bring people directly to the palace to show off its power to its queen.
The most important thing is that his queen is pregnant with his child.
How could he bear it at this time
Of course I can’t tolerate it!
What's more, he has already advanced to the peak realm of Grandmaster. With the strength of his physical body and the power of thunder and lightning, no one can kill him unless a master of thunder tribulation does it himself.
Strength is courage!
With his current strength, why should he be timid
Although Dameng has strong soldiers and horses and great strength, his Da Yan is by no means weak!
The enemy was mainly composed of cavalry and was invincible on the plains.
But he held the pass firmly, and the enemy cavalry had no way of using their own advantages, and could only attack by relying on blood and bravery.
However, just now, the enemy's 8,000 cavalry were almost completely wiped out. The death was extremely tragic, which would definitely affect the enemy's morale.
If the opponent attacks now, there will be no advantage at all.
Da Yan just needs to hold on.
At this time, Luo Qingzhou was stationed at Tongyuan Pass on the front line of the border, listening to the report from the general Wu Yue who was guarding the pass on the situation of the defenders in the city and the distribution of the troops of Damong.
at the same time.
Troops from all over the northern border began to gather towards Tongyuan Pass.
Yueying also rushed over from the western border with 30,000 newly reorganized silver-armored cavalry.
After the battle with the demon tribe and the magic tree in the Western Territory, there are no external enemies approaching for the time being except for the practitioners of Piaomiao Xianzong in Mocheng. Moreover, with the army led by Yuchi Ling, who is good at defense, there should not be any major problems.
This battle to defend against the invasion of the Mongols mobilized almost all of Dayan's military forces.
After all, Dayan had just experienced civil strife and a war between the demon clan and the magic tree, suffering heavy losses, and not many troops could be assembled in a short period of time.
But fortunately, there is Tongyuan Pass, so they just need to defend it with all their might.
It is not easy for the other party to enter the country.
"We can only gather 80,000 troops in the north. The enemy has about 200,000 troops, but they are all cavalry and are good at fighting on the plains. If they force an attack on the city, we will not be at a disadvantage... The enemy's marshal Tiemu is not a reckless person. He also has my Great Yan counselors around him, who know the strength of my Great Yan pass and the will of my soldiers..."
"They just lost 8,000 cavalry last night and are still dealing with the bodies and searching for survivors. They probably won't attack for the time being..."
In the hall, Wu Yue looked confident and calm as he spoke eloquently, not showing any sign of panic because of the approaching Mongol army.
Luo Qingzhou listened quietly, occasionally asking a few questions.
Two days later.
Dameng suddenly sent envoys into the pass to investigate the matter of the fifth prince and the massacre by the demon tribe that night.
Luo Qingzhou did not go out.
Wu Yue led his men out to greet them and repeated the speech he had prepared long ago.
At the same time, many soldiers in the city were wearing mourning clothes, and some mourning halls, wreaths, etc. were set up in advance.
He also mentioned that Dayan was gathering troops to prepare for defense against the demon tribe.
The messenger left quickly.
At this time, in a tent in the military camp of the Great Mongol Empire.
The Mongol Marshal Tiemu was discussing something with his men. Those burly generals all had gloomy faces and were filled with murderous intent.
"Marshal, the five princes were killed, more than 300 of my practitioners were killed, and even the Seventh Prince was killed. What are we waiting for? Break through the Tongyuan Pass directly, fight into Dayan, and kill the Queen of Dayan with your own hands! Avenge them!"
"Hmph, do you think we are so easy to deceive? Even if it is really the work of the demon tribe, it must be related to the Great Yan! Marshal, I will fight!"
"General Ge Ri, don't be careless. If Tongyuan Pass was so easy to break, our Great Mongolia wouldn't have been blocked for so many years. Now we have lost another 8,000 vanguards, and many soldiers have been frightened by those two monsters. People are panicking and morale is low. We can't act rashly."
"Humph, we have 200,000 soldiers here, how can we allow others to bully us?"
"Of course we must avenge our enemies, but we must not act impulsively, and we must not underestimate Da Yan. At the very least, we must first find out the details of the other party and boost their morale."
Several generals sat on both sides, arguing endlessly.
Marshal Tiemu listened calmly, and after both sides calmed down, he asked, "Wuyun, what was the response from Piaomiao Immortal Sect?"
A young man immediately stood up and said respectfully, "The other party asked us to investigate, and they seem unwilling to send anyone else."
Tiemu frowned slightly.
The young man continued, "According to my guess, the Piao Miao Xian Sect suffered heavy losses at the border of Da Yan this time, and is now seriously injured. And it is said that their sect leader was furious after hearing the news, and the great elder and the peak master who accompanied him were all punished. They may not be able to send anyone over for the time being, and they dare not cause any more damage. After all, the Jiuzhou Conference will start in more than ten months, and they need to prepare in advance."
There was silence in the big tent.
A bearded man said, "The Piao Miao Immortal Sect did suffer heavy losses this time. It is said that dozens of elders and hundreds of elite disciples were all killed. They probably think that Da Yan is an unlucky place and dare not come again for the time being. Moreover, they signed a contract with Da Yan in front of Jiu Tian Yao Tai and Peng Lai Xian Dao, so it is impossible for them to enter Da Yan openly again."
"However, their losses will definitely be counted on Dayan's head."
"I guess they will only take action against Da Yan after the Jiuzhou Conference is over. Or, they will only attack Da Yan when they want to collect the compensation written in the contract."
Tiemu's face was gloomy, and he was silent for a moment, then asked, "Any news from the Great Yan Territory?"
The young man named Wuyun immediately said, "According to the spies' report, the troops in the northern border of Great Yan are gathering towards Tongyuan Pass. The 30,000 cavalrymen in the western border are also rushing here. It seems that many practitioners of Great Yan are here as well."
"Humph, you are guilty! The deaths of the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince were definitely caused by Dayan!"
"Marshal, give the order! We will not return until Da Yan is razed to the ground!"
"Marshal, I am willing to lead the charge!"
All the officers and soldiers stood up and asked for orders.
Tiemu looked at them calmly, paused, and said, "Sit down. I have already reported this matter to the Khan. As for my opinion... I will not send troops for the time being."
After these words were spoken, all the soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.
Tiemu said in a deep voice: "First, Tongyuan Pass is not easy to break through. The enemy is now defending with the whole country's strength. Even if we break through, there will be only a few of the 200,000 troops left, and the gain will not outweigh the loss. What's more, the enemy's 30,000 cavalry are not here to defend, but to find an opportunity to strike a fatal blow to us."
"Secondly, the Fifth Prince went to Da Yan this time with 300 cultivators, and the Seventh Prince followed. The Seventh Prince is the most powerful soul cultivator in Da Meng, but what happened? Not a single one of them came back. This shows that the opponent's strength is by no means as simple as what we have seen and heard. It is very likely that in addition to Bai Yishan, there are other hidden masters."
"Third, you all know about the battle of Da Yan in the Western Territory. The three major immortal sects and our tens of thousands of troops suffered heavy losses and fled. However, Da Yan not only defended the city alone in the end, but also destroyed the magic tree and even drove away the demons. Don't you think such strength and courage, as well as the willpower of the army and the people, are terrifying? If they show such courage and will again and defend Tongyuan Pass to the death, our 200,000 cavalry of Da Meng may not be able to advance an inch, and may be ambushed and defeated!"
"And the most important point is that according to the news from Piao Miao Xian Zong, Da Yan may be colluding with the demon race. What happened that night further proves this point. So, if we take action, the demon race will suddenly appear and attack us from both sides. Wouldn't our Da Meng army of 200,000 be wiped out? At that time, the enemy will march straight in, and Da Meng may be destroyed!"
After these words were spoken, all the soldiers in the tent looked grim and calmed down instantly.
"So, we have to wait."
"At least we have to wait until we find out the movements of the demon army, at least we have to wait until we find out the true strength of Da Yan..."
"I think the best time is ten months from now, after the Nine Provinces Conference ends, or after the Piaomiao Immortal Sect takes action. That will be the best time for us to break through the Tongyuan Pass and enter the Great Yan Capital!"
at this time.
Outside the tent, it suddenly started to rain lightly.
Inside the city of Tongyuan Pass, the soldiers were still busy preparing various defensive equipment.
Luo Qingzhou stood on the city wall, looking at the wilderness outside the city, thinking about how to defeat the Mongolian cavalry.
Long Er transformed into a girl in a white dress, standing quietly beside him like a personal maid, accompanying him to look at the wilderness outside the city in the rain.
"The other side should not dare to attack the city."
Luo Qingzhou suddenly said something.
Long Er was just staring at him in a trance and didn't hear clearly. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did you say, sir?"
"fine."
Luo Qingzhou took out the message and sent a message to Yueying, asking her to stay where she was and not to march in a hurry anymore.
Yueying immediately replied: Why
Luo Qingzhou: I have spread the news that the King of the North is here to guard the pass. The King of the North is famous, both civil and military, and has won every battle. The Mongols should retreat and not dare to invade again.
Yueying: What time is it? Are you still joking
Luo Qingzhou: No kidding, I think if the other party is smart, they won't choose to attack now. Lord Yueying, please stay where you are for the time being, there should be a result tomorrow.
Moon Shadow: Yes, King of the North
Luo Qingzhou put away the message and looked into the distance again.
It was just as expected.
The second day.
The spies ahead suddenly brought news that the 200,000-strong army of the Mongol Empire had begun to retreat.
However, Luo Qingzhou still did not dare to be careless.
Waited for another three days.
He didn't feel relieved until the other side had completely retreated.
The other party is waiting for an opportunity, so is he
Ten months later, he will let all the countries and sects in the Kyushu Continent know that a small Da Yan can also shake the sky!
Even the most powerful Immortal Sect in the Jiuzhou Continent can be destroyed by them!
