The scouts rode their dragon horses and rushed towards the three battle forts at full speed.
Fang Yun looked at the end of the sky. He saw three huge black fortresses connected together. In the sky farther away, hundreds of eagle monsters were circling in the sky.
"snort!"
Fang Yun snorted coldly, and saw clouds appearing in the clear sky where the eagle demon was hovering. Dark clouds rolled in, lightning flashed and thunder roared, instantly killing all the eagle demons below the demon king. Even the Eagle Demon King hurriedly descended.
In the distance, a heavy rain was about to fall, and then a strange red light shot up into the sky, dispersing all the dark clouds.
The power of the Barbarians' semi-holy treasure, the Heaven-Burning Furnace.
Afterwards, dark clouds continued to gather in the sky above the barbarians, but were constantly dispersed by the power of the Burning Sky Furnace, over and over again.
The weather in August is even more changeable than that in June and July.
After walking for two hundred miles, Fang Yun stopped testing the power of the Burning Heaven Furnace.
The scholars and private soldiers behind Fang Yun had respect in their eyes. Using dark clouds and thunder to kill the demons from hundreds of miles away was something that even a great scholar could do, but he would never do it so lightly.
Chen Youdao said: "Fang Xusheng, it seems that the barbarians will let us into the Sanlian Battle Fortress. Within three days, they will definitely surround us from all sides. As far as I know, after you arrived in Ning'an, the Wolf Saint Army guarding Wolf Saint Mountain has already set out and should arrive at the Sanlian Battle Fortress within three days. Once the Wolf Saint Army arrives, the barbarians will definitely break through the Sanlian Battle Fortress at all costs."
"The Wolf Saint Army is the strongest army in Caoman. Lang Lu used the secret method of the demon world to train them personally. Their strength is no less than the main army of the demon world. There are even rumors that the leaders of each battalion of the Wolf Saint Army are from the main army of the demon world. Once the 300,000 Wolf Saint Army attacks, if there is no strategic location to defend, my Jing Kingdom will need at least 5 million elite soldiers to intercept them. Nowadays, even the Wu Kingdom, which is known to be invincible in the world, has only 3 million elite soldiers. Therefore, we must evacuate before the Wolf Saint Army arrives." Fang Yun said.
Chen Youdao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I feel relieved when you say that. I was afraid that you would act on impulse and take advantage of the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the Wolf Saint Army."
"The Three Battle Fortresses are indeed not the place to deal with the Wolf Saint Army, but the area outside Ning'an City is okay."
Chen Youdao looked up at the sky helplessly.
Hu Li looked at Fang Yun without saying a word, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
The team arrived safely at the foot of the Sanlian Battle Fortress.
The three battle fortresses are extremely magnificent when viewed from close up. The height of each fortress wall is as high as a twenty-story building. The building materials of these walls are carefully prepared by craftsmen and are extremely strong. Even the Demon King and the Barbarian King find it difficult to break them.
The three fortresses are connected together, like three giant iron walls blocking the barbarians' only way.
The iron gate of the central fortress rose slowly, and the sound of the noose was deafening. Then a great scholar, three university scholars and many scholars rode on dragon horses and went out to greet them.
The leader was the examiner of Fang Yun's examination for the juren degree that year, the beggar uncle of the emperor, Zhao Jingkong. However, this man had completely left the royal family of Jing State. He was promoted to a great scholar many years ago, and went out for training early on. He just returned to Jing State this year.
Zhao Jingkong was originally stationed at Yuyang Pass, but because the Barbarian King was dispatched, he came to the Sanlian Battle Fortress.
Fang Yun took a closer look and found that except for the purple Confucian robe he wore, Zhao Jingkong looked exactly the same as before. His hair and beard were still messy, and his face was so black that mud marks would appear on it if it rained. Even his purple robe was covered with stains.
This Zhao Jingkong had cloudy eyes and a decadent face, and looked like an old man, but no one looked down on him.
Fang Yun said: "Military affairs are urgent, so keep everything simple and don't be too polite. Let's talk as we enter the city."
Zhao Jingkong said lazily: "Fang Xusheng is here, so I feel relieved. From now on, the power of the Sanlian War Fort will be in your hands. I'm going to sleep."
After saying that, Zhao Jingkong turned around and left.
The scholars on both sides rolled their eyes. This Zhao Jingkong was too lazy. He would probably be like this even if he met a half-saint.
Fang Yun had known Zhao Jingkong's temperament for a long time and guessed that he was practicing with all his strength. He didn't care and looked at the three university scholars.
Among these three scholars, two are engineers, Zhang Yuan and Zhang He. Both of them are from Zhang Heng's family. They originally worked in the Gongdian. Now they resigned from the Shengyuan and joined the army as Jingguo people. In fact, they are fully responsible for the use of Gongdian in Jingguo.
The other person is Liu Hong, a military strategist and Grand Secretary of Jing State. He was promoted to Grand Secretary two years ago and is an extraordinary military strategist. He has white hair and beard, wrinkles all over his face, and has been through a lot. He is mature and steady, and is meticulous. He is not good at attacking, but is very good at defending. The entire three-link battle fortress runs perfectly under his command, and no mistakes have been made so far.
"Greetings, Master Fang Xu!" The three university scholars saluted in unison.
Fang Yun nodded, kicked his horse's belly, and said, "Lead the way, let's go to the north city first. General Liu, please tell me the specific situation here."
After a brief thought, Liu Hong reported the military affairs here in a clear and concise manner. Before reaching the north city wall, Fang Yun had an accurate understanding of the strength, military intelligence, supplies, morale, institutions, etc. of both sides here.
Finally, Liu Hong smiled and said, "The barbarians suffer from famine every year. Even though they can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to survive, without enough food, their bodies continue to weaken, and their overall strength has declined significantly. I heard that this is all thanks to your strategy back then."
"Young people's nonsense can't be considered a strategy, but the result of the collective efforts of the human race." Fang Yun said modestly. At that time, Fang Yun's rank was too low, and his strategy to weaken the barbarians was too cruel. The human race was afraid that the barbarians would assassinate Fang Yun, so it had never been made public. Now the ban is not as strict as it was back then, and many people have learned from various channels that Fang Yun played a great role in the barbarians' continuous famine.
Zhang Yuan and Zhang He are typical workers. Unless Fang Yun asks, they won't say a word along the way. They are more concerned about the office.
As they were about to reach the top of the city wall, Liu Hong's eyes flashed with worry, and then he said, "General Po Yue is tied up in front, you... don't be impulsive."
Fang Yun's expression changed slightly, he nodded, but changed the subject and asked, "How are the preparations for the retreat going?"
Liu Hong said: "I heard that you were going to take us back to Ning'an, so I started preparing. We can retreat smoothly tomorrow morning. However... I am at a loss as to how to deal with the pursuers."
"I have my own ways." Fang Yun said.
"Then I just need to follow your orders." Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief.
When the many scholars behind him heard this, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes.
Since we are here, everyone is prepared to die on the battlefield, but if we can leave alive, it is naturally worth celebrating.
Fang Yun was in front, followed by four university scholars and others, and they climbed onto the top of the Sanlian Battle Fortress.
On the top of the city wall, there were bloodstains and a strange fishy smell filled the nose.
Fang Yun didn't care at all. Compared with Liangjie Mountain, this place was like a countryside.
Some scholars behind Fang Yun who had never experienced a major war had changing expressions and stomachs churning, trying their best to suppress the discomfort in their bodies.
Fang Yun glanced casually and found that the city walls of the three linked battle fortresses were like miniature city walls of Liangjie Mountain. There were many slide rails nearby, a large number of mechanisms set up, many soldiers standing in front on guard, and countless war poets blocking the front line.
Some soldiers were cleaning the city walls.
A great war had just ended.
