Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 648: Demon fire burns the sky

Views:

Juyongguan, located in the westernmost part of the Daqin Empire in the extreme west, the prosperous military center in the evening is now covered in blood, and the orange flames in the city are burning red to the sky.

"Sinners! It's the sinners of the northern snow!"

"Light the beacon for help!"

"Charge with this general and never take a step back!"

The Daqin Frontier Army's counterattack was like the waves crashing on the rock and shattered into countless pieces, but the pride and mission of the empire kept them from retreating and continued to stop the sinners' footsteps.

It's a pity that they are destined to not be rescued. They fell in a pool of blood, and their eyes that could not be closed until death reflected the cold eyes of the criminals in northern Xinjiang.

Yumen.

The setting sun was like blood in the west, shining diagonally on the desolate land. The frightened and fleeing crowd dragged out a long queue. They looked up to the surrounding direction, and their eyes were full of despair.

One after another burly figures stepped on the rays of the setting sun, and the blood shone on them like a demon who chose people to devour them.

"Commander?" A sinner looked hesitant.

The commander was a big man with a dark face, he was wearing a tattered leather jacket and stood naked on the ground, his eyes were full of oppression, "For tens of millions of years, how many babies of our family have just been born, and the world is freezing without even looking at it. How many clan elders and women walked into the snow field in the wind and snow to save food... Has anyone ever held any pity for them?"

The sinner looked ashamed, "I understand, Commander!" He raised his head and his expression became cold, because this war has nothing to do with identity or right or wrong. If his clan is to survive, these people must die.

The commander waved his hand, "Kill!"

The demonic fire in Daqin burned the sky, and the sinners who were expelled into the snowfields of northern Xinjiang, the demon clan, brazenly launched a war of all kinds in order to continue to survive. The war and killing came to 81 cities on the front line of the Qin State border with the northern border at the same time. The beacon fires shot up into the sky.

In one day, the 81 cities of the Qin state were defeated by the frontier army and killed more than 300,000 people. The people were besieged and killed by the demon clan, regardless of gender, age, and child. The methods were brutal and bloody.

When the news spread, the whole world was shocked, and the demon clan criminals who had been out of sight for tens of millions of years and had been lingering on, actually possessed such terrifying power, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Xianyang, the capital of Qin, responded immediately and dispatched a large army to meet the enemy, but all reinforcements and the demon clan were defeated in the battle. It was not because the Qin army was not strong, but the demon clan criminals were more fierce, such as beasts that were madly destroying everything that blocked them from heading south. enemy.

For a time, there were many dangers in the territory of Qin, and a large area of the country fell into the hands of the demon clan.

The endless snow field in Beijiang could not be seen at a glance. The demon warriors who walked up to the altar kneeled respectfully, unwrapped their hands behind their backs, opened it, and poured the soil inside on the altar.

The great sage looked excited and took a few steps forward, took a deep breath of the soil, and knelt down on the ground tremblingly, holding the soil with his ten fingers, ignoring the blood stains on it, and kept kissing on his lips.

"Have you seen the ancestors of the demon clan? The sons and fathers of our clan have entered the Qin state and returned to the homeland that should have belonged to us after tens of millions of years! I swear to you here today, and I will do it again in the future. No one can expel us. The children of the demon clan can grow up in a warm and suitable environment without facing the threat of hunger, cold and death from birth.”

The messengers of the ten major tribes followed silently, looking at the sage's increasingly thin body, their eyes were full of worry, they were not sure how long the sage could support.

"Don't worry, the sons and gentlemen on the front line are opening up territory for our clan. The old man will hold out until they return triumphantly. The old man will not be reconciled without watching the group leave this bitter cold land."

The envoys of the ten major tribes knelt down at the same time, looking reverent and sad, "Sage, everything you have done for our clan will be remembered for generations!"

The great sage smiled, "It is the greatest pride of this old man to be able to contribute everything to the ethnic group." He looked towards the south towards the Qin country, his bright eyes filled with anticipation, "The news of the call for help should be sent out, and tell the front-line children. , the real climax of this war is coming!"

In recent years, the cold wave in the northern border has become stronger and stronger, and the living environment has deteriorated sharply. The Mo Dao has never let up its vigilance against the demon clan, but the current situation of the Qin state shows that they did not pay enough attention before. As the supporter and guide behind the Qin state, Demons have inescapable responsibilities and obligations.

After Xianyang's distress message was delivered, Mo Dao received a more detailed front-line battle report. He was extremely shocked by the fighting power of the demon clan criminals, and also realized the panic and fear of the Qin Dynasty.

The demon clan is like a group of ghosts from hell, spreading like a plague on the land of Qin State, destroying everything they pass through, and countless Qin people die in the war every breath.

"Thousands of millions of years ago, the demons were the most powerful force in the land of gods and demons. Although they were exiled into the snowfields of northern Xinjiang, the demons have never let go of their vigilance. Every year, they spend a lot of manpower and material resources to collect information about the demons. , the demon army in the war with the Qin state is obviously beyond their proper level of strength." The demon servant stood in the hall and explained.

Qin Yu frowned slightly, "Have you found the reason?"

The demon waiter presented the jade slip with both hands, "Returning to your majesty, there is a special inheritance in the demon clan. The owner and successor of this inheritance are called sages. They have a powerful blessing and supernatural power, which can greatly improve the demon clan warriors. However, there are strict restrictions on this kind of blessing, and it cannot be applied to too many people at the same time. As far as we know, the demon clan only has three sages now, and it is impossible to increase the strength of the entire army."

Qin Yu took the jade slip, and his spiritual sense penetrated to check the information about the sages of the demon clan. After a few breaths, his eyes flickered slightly, and he got up and said: "Dark Night Demon Domain and Biluo Huangquan are here." He waved his sleeve and opened the hall door , said loudly: "God Throne, Yama, please come in."

There is still a trace of paleness on the Dark Night God Throne's face. The injury he suffered in Xianzong at the beginning obviously has not healed yet, and he saw Qin Yu's face is cold.

Yan Luo's attitude is obviously much closer, and she has gained a lot from the trip to Xianzong. Just ten "captured" Xianzong Jie Xian made Bi Luo Huangquan's lineage strength skyrocket.

The two sides simply greeted each other, and went straight to the topic without being too wordy. Qin Yu said: "Both of you have received the news of Qin's help, and the devil can't stand idly by. You and I discuss the countermeasures."

"There is nothing to discuss, either the Demon Dao will take action directly, or mobilize other forces to help Qin, that's all." Dark Night God sneered, "Xianzong suffered heavy losses in the battle of Dark Night Demon Domain, if the Demon Sovereign wants to help Qin, the seat has no opinion, but No one will come out of the Dark Night Demon Realm."

There are thorns inside and out.

Yan Luo pondered for a while, and said, "Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, although the Xianzong is silent now, the devil's way should not be moved lightly, so as not to give them a chance to take advantage."

Qin Yu's eyes flickered, "I understand what the two of you mean, then send a letter to Handan to ask Zhao Guo to assist Qin and gather the strength of the two countries to repel the demon clan!"

Zhao State and Qin State have a good relationship and close relationship for generations, and at the same time they are attached to the magic way.

The three demons made a decision, and the news was quickly conveyed to Zhao State. After some controversy in Handan City, they finally agreed to send troops to support.

The will of the devil is the main reason, and the other point is that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. The borders of Qin and Zhao are connected, and once the demon clan in the northern border spreads, it is bound to flood into the territory of Zhao.

Defending the enemy beyond the borders... Perhaps the only place where the monarchs and ministers of the Zhao State can comfort themselves, at least they are much luckier than the Qin State. Moreover, Zhao Guo is so obedient, and the magic road always needs some expressions, and it is not good to call people in vain.

Unsurprisingly, Mo Dao dispatched experts to assist, so that the leader of the regiment caused Zhao Guo to shake up and down, and Emperor Zhao personally welcomed him out of the palace gate.

"Welcome Your Majesty Yama."

Yan Luo smiled, "Emperor Zhao doesn't need to be too polite, this seat needs some materials for cultivation recently, and the strong demon clan is just right, so I will take action with the army."

Emperor Zhao was relieved and said with a smile: "With His Majesty Yama to follow, why is the demon clan unbeaten!" The supreme beings in the world seldom intervene in worldly affairs, their power is too terrifying, they can easily change the tilt of the balance, but dealing with No one will stop the demon clan criminals.

The arrival of Yama greatly boosted the confidence of the Zhao Kingdom. The rulers and ministers all agreed that the outcome of the war had been decided, so the amount of effort involved would be involved, and the benefits and rewards would be divided after the event.

Determining the size of a war's credit, the war process is one of the factors, and the number of troops participating in the war is also an important factor... My Da Zhao obeyed the command of the magic way and sent millions of troops to assist Qin. Wouldn't you mind if you didn't pay me well

Under this premise, Emperor Zhao made a stroke of his brush, and the number of troops sent by Zhao State into Qin became three million. The domestic generals led the army in three directions, and they went out of the country and entered the territory of Da Qin and rushed to the frontline battlefield. All the flustered Qin Mins along the way cheered and cheered, and they cast a grateful and kind look at the army of Da Zhao who supported Qin.

The support of Zhao Guo’s army helped Qin Guo stabilize the situation. After several battles, the madly advancing demon clan was stopped, so that the scope of the battlefield was controlled. Qin Huang personally wrote a letter to Handan to express his gratitude to Zhao Guo for his assistance.

Qin and Zhao Dajun joined forces to gradually reverse the disadvantage. The Yaozu army noticed that something was wrong and began to shrink its strength. They concentrated in several large cities they occupied and faced off against the troops of the two countries.

The war between the two sides has temporarily entered a period of relaxation, but friction and bloodshed in a small area are still happening all the time. The figures of the spies are frantically operating in the blank area of the confrontation between the two sides, spying on the intelligence information about the other side.

The Chang Snake River has no deep meaning in its name, but because the river is naturally twisted, it flows through several counties in the Qin State, like a big snake winding its way on the ground.

The ferry that was built on the broad and gentle flow of the river has now been destroyed. There are large pits on both sides of the river, and an arrow is inserted at the bottom of each pit. The arrow body can not withstand the violent force, and most of the surface is covered with cracks.

The Qin and Zhao coalition forces once faced off against the Yaozu army here, but fortunately, both sides retreated after a little probing, otherwise the Long Snake River would have been razed to the ground long ago.

With this river as the boundary, the armies of the two sides confronted each other from a distance. The invisible terror caused the air to condense, and both sides of the riverbank were dead silent, even the birds did not dare to pass by.

In the arrow hole somewhere near the river, only a pair of eyes were exposed under the mud and stone, and he glanced around vigilantly. As a military intelligence cultivator of the State of Zhao, his task is to monitor this area and prevent the sudden attack of the demon clan.

Although more than ten days passed without incident, as a well-trained spy, he did not relax because of this.

Suddenly, in the eyes exposed under the mud, a bright color suddenly flashed, as if a flying eagle in the sky had found its prey.

After a few breaths, a figure flew close to the ground. He should be carrying some kind of utensil on his body, which distorted the light around him. It looked like a faint shadow, and it was almost impossible to detect if he was not serious.

Just as this figure was about to fly over the river, the arrow hole suddenly burst open, and a black arrow shot into the sky. In addition to spying on the news, the spy also had the identity of an assassin. Once they found an important enemy personnel, they could directly kill them.

Therefore, the equipped sky-piercing arrow was extremely powerful, and the figure flying from the opposite side was pierced almost before he could react.

The scout from the State of Zhao jumped out of the arrow hole and quickly swept away the valuables on the wreckage. He turned around and left without the slightest hesitation. His mission was completed.

After a quick screening, nothing of particular value was found, and the spies handed in all the items according to the rules.

The items handed in by the spies will be handled by special personnel to avoid missing important information, and they will be sealed after two consecutive reviews to determine if they are useless.

One of the items handed in by the spy contained a seal, which was found to be inappropriate during the second review. The seemingly decorative patterns carved on its surface were actually an almost lost ancient script. An instruction to the demon army in other areas, the content can be summarized: capture Qin Min in the occupied area and transport it to the red sand beach.

The order has nothing to do with the mobilization of the army, but the intuition of the intelligence practitioners tells the people of Zhao that this is not unusual, so they should respond immediately and intensify their investigation.

After a few more days, at the cost of the lives of several excellent spies, this matter finally made a breakthrough: the demon clan will open the portal with a large number of Qin people as sacrifices, connecting to the old nest in the northern snowfield, allowing the demon clan to sacrifice. The major tribes entered.

The military of Zhao State immediately informed Qin State of the serious military situation, and the two sides quickly met in this direction to compare the dynamics of all parties, and quickly came to the conclusion: This news is true!

The only thing that puzzled the people of Zhao country is why the demon clan sent people to transmit such important news in person, and the transmitters were not very cultivated.

A general of the Qin army gave an explanation with a sneer, "The monsters have finally learned to be smart. Within the scope of our Qin country, the national movement is suppressing Bafang Liuhe. If they dare to spread the message by other means, they will easily be intercepted. The previous few times In the war, the reason why we can gain the upper hand is because we expect the enemy to come first.”

"As for sending an ordinary monster to send a letter, it should be to paralyze me. Even if this information is so secretive, even if it is intercepted, it will be missed if you are not careful. There will never be only one letter in this way, and immediately order someone to review it. The items that have been intercepted recently should be rewarded."

Sure enough, the intelligence systems of Qin and Zhao successively found four hidden messages that had not been discovered before, and the translated messages were exactly the same, so it should be correct.

Part of the demon clan army is terrifying enough. If the entire demon clan tribe is let in, I am afraid that the battle situation will be reversed in an instant.

"Never let the demon clan's plan succeed!"

When the two armies urgently negotiated the plan to send troops, another suggestion appeared: if the demon army wants to open the portal, it is bound to gather the army to guard it. Qin and Zhao can concentrate the army and destroy the main force of the demon army in one fell swoop, ending the war ahead of schedule. !
