However, the effect of the blitzkrieg has not disappeared at this moment.

Although the message was sent out to preach, it was only delivered to Shangqiu City where Guide City was located in three days. The Huangshan Demon King had just learned that a group of troops were going to attack him.

He had no idea where the soldiers and horses came from or how many there were.

As for the 100,000 troops mentioned in the memorandum, he simply ignored it. Are you kidding? You said 100,000 is just 100,000. Who would believe it

First take out the real guy and have a good fight.

In this era, it was normal not to exaggerate one's numbers before going to war.

According to the practice at the time, the 100,000-strong army was probably 10,000 people. After artistic rendering, it was said to be 100,000.

Then the quality of the remaining Ten Thousand Energy is difficult to guarantee.

After all, your army of 10,000 level 3 soldiers is 10,000 people, your army of 10,000 level 2 soldiers is also 10,000 people, and even your army of 10,000 level 1 trash can be counted as 10,000 people.

There are so many concepts, who knows which stage you are at.

According to Huangshan Demon King's estimate, the message came from several counties controlled by the rear, which he had raided several times. He didn't know what the strength was, and it was impossible to have the ability to gather ten thousand people.

Then the only remaining target is Hecheng County, which has not yet been affected.

"What a talented killer. I won't kill you, but I won't cherish you even if I give you a few more days of good life. How dare you come out alive and seek death? Let's see how I teach you after I order my troops."

After deducing the cause and effect, the Huangshan Demon King became furious.

How powerful a small county can be, and an army of 10,000 people is probably only at the second level, so it won't be a success.

With only 3,000 soldiers under his command who have been tempered by war, these 10,000 cannon fodder can be slaughtered as easily as chickens and dogs.

After all, this is ancient times, and there are limitations in information. Even if some dynasties have used various Taoism and magic in war, this does not include the little Huangshan Demon King.

Therefore, the Demon King of Huangshan did not know that the two rear county towns more than a hundred miles away from him had been occupied by the enemy, and his escape route to the thousands of miles of mountains was cut off.

He has fallen into the attack of Zhong Yu and the Ming court. Although he still has considerable strength, the situation on the battlefield is no longer in his favor.

The Demon King of Huangshan gathered the 5,000 demon soldiers who were enjoying themselves in Shangqiu City and led them out of the city towards Hecheng County in the south.

Yes, the Demon King of Huangshan still thinks that the two counties to the east of him are still under his control, so he has no intention of sending troops to defend them.

In his understanding, as long as he leads the army to defeat Hecheng County in the south, the enemy will disappear from nowhere, and he will completely control the entire Guide Mansion.

But what he didn't know was that the two counties in the east of him had been recaptured by Zhong Yu's partial army. Each county had a fifth-level strong commander, and each had tens of thousands of third-level troops stationed. They were powerful. .

Although there are no strong men above the sixth level under Zhong Yu, there are still many masters at the fifth level.

After all, he has conquered hundreds of worlds and devoted all the resources of these worlds to cultivate masters. Even if it only diverts a little bit of luck, the number of masters produced is quite impressive, with hundreds of fifth-level masters.

With so many fifth-level masters, in addition to leaving some to continue conquering various worlds, Zhong Yu brought half, that is, 50 strong men.

Although the power is not that great, it is equivalent to the high-level combat power of a province in the Ming Dynasty and cannot be ignored.

Even if these 50 fifth-level people unite and use the power of the formation to kill a sixth-level person, it is not impossible.

Therefore, these two counties have 10,000 third-level soldiers, coupled with a fifth-level soldier, commanding a considerable number of fourth-level soldiers. Although they are not as good as the demon king, they are still enough to deal with some of the remaining demon soldiers.

Just some remnants.

Because Zhong Yu led a main force of 80,000 towards the Huangshan Demon King. Under his command were not only 10,000 fourth-level soldiers, but also these 47 fifth-level masters.

With such a powerful force, there is no way that the 5,000 third-level demon soldiers under the Demon King of Huangshan can stop it.

As for Hecheng County in the rear, apart from leaving a fifth-level and ten thousand-three-level soldier to garrison, Zhong Yu no longer took care of it.

His journey was on this vast continent, so how could he stop even for a moment because of a small county town

Just like that, the Huangshan Demon King was furious and triumphantly ran into the trap with its mouth open in front of him, ready to swallow him whole.

Just 50 miles away from Shangqiu City and 30 miles away from the next city, in a place called Jiyang Town, the two armies met.

Due to the raging war, this small town, which is located in a traffic hub, has long been dilapidated. Many buildings and buildings have been destroyed, and even the residents have disappeared. It seems that they were either eaten by monsters or fled everywhere. Take refuge.

However, with the entry of 80,000 troops, the town became lively again, its popularity slowly recovered, and it gradually began to have the atmosphere of a human settlement.

Zhong Yu is in this small town, with countless troops guarding him, just waiting for the arrival of the Demon King of Huangshan.

He sent partial troops to capture the other two counties, preparing to cut off the Huangshan Demon King's retreat and completely block it in the four prefectures west of Guide Prefecture.

Not only does he have the intention of catching them all, but he also wants to prevent these demons from taking the opportunity to escape back into the thousands of miles of mountains and forests. His army cannot rush into these thousands of miles of vast mountains and forests. Countless poisonous snakes and beasts, and miasma swamps that can be seen everywhere will appear in this place. Kill all the indigenous monsters.

If these demons are allowed to escape, then there will be a very powerful and large enemy watching behind Zhong Yu, which will cause endless troubles.

But after all, these are just checking and filling in the gaps. The real point is that he completely defeated the main force of the Huangshan Demon King on this frontal battlefield.

He has been stationed in this town for two days, and today is the third day. According to the news from the scouts, the Huangshan Demon King has appeared ten miles away from the north of the town and is about to arrive at the battlefield.

Needless to say to the scouts, Zhong Yu himself could feel the monstrous aura of the sixth-level demon king from Huangshan Mountain, which could be smelled dozens of miles away.

What's more, as a sixth-level expert, his spiritual consciousness is extremely powerful, and it is easy to scan the situation more than ten miles away.

Zhong Yu has already detected the existence of the Huangshan Demon King through his spiritual consciousness, and the mere 5,000 level 3 demon soldiers under his command.

In the same way, the Demon King of Huangshan naturally felt the presence of Zhong Yu and his 80,000-strong army.

However, he had no way to retreat.
