And what are the Southern Route Army generals like Ji Yuanpeng thinking? Do they not take him as an emperor seriously? Or maybe it was because Qin Ran was forcing him to not go out of the city to meet him, so it was inconvenient for them to cross over for the time being
At the northern foot of Yunling Mountains, one million soldiers and horses were sent by the Tiannan Kingdom. They were stationed in Anyang City, 10,000 miles to the west, guarding the north entrance of the Lixi Grand Canyon. The South Route Army led by Wang Qinran stood guard at the north entrance of Mingyue Gorge.
Jiu Shanhe lowered his head and said: "Your Highness has the same difficulty as your Highness - in that situation, there are so many generals in the Southern Route Army, and not all of them may be able to be commanded by Your Highness. Your Majesty should not bother you anymore at this time. Wait until you enter An Zecheng, the emperor takes good care of his health, and will lead us to restore the territory of Chongguo and restore the glory of Xuanyuan Shangdian."
Seeing this scene, Jiu Shanhe, Ji Wuhuan, Zhu Wen, and Ji Jianian were ashen-faced. They never expected that they would fall into the trap set by Chen Hai and Qin Ran so easily and unnoticed, and they were subjected to Jiutian Trapped by the ten-terrestrial trapped demon formation, it is impossible to struggle...
In the center of the large group of people, there were dozens of chariots driving slowly forward - who could have imagined that these chariots were once heaven-level or Tao-level magic weapons, and how could they be dragged by dragons, Qingluan-level spiritual beasts and spiritual birds? Only by traveling through the air can the majesty of the royal family be reflected. Today, most of these chariots are in dilapidated condition. There are only two to three hundred black beasts dragging them, and they can barely keep up with the marching speed of the large army of soldiers and horses. Fall behind.
Qin Shimin sighed heavily in his heart, thinking that this was not easy!
Qin Shimin revealed half of his thin face from the car, pointed to the towering mountains in the distance and said: "We are about to reach Anze City. There are many demon soldiers blocking the road ahead. Does Qin Ran have proper arrangements?"
At this time, a middle-aged scribe riding a blue lion approached and asked thoughtfully: "Does your Majesty have any instructions?"
They were even worried that Qin Ran would take the overall situation too seriously, hand over military power directly, and have a harmonious relationship with Qin Shimin and his son, which would make it difficult for them to do anything.
After Qin Shimin sat in the center to preside over the case, he saw Lie King Qin Ran and the generals sitting on both sides. He coughed slightly and was about to speak. At this time, Lie King Qin Ran, who had just taken his seat, stood up and said: "Father, Yongjing has fallen, and our Dachong is in pieces. The top priority is that it is time to solve the problem of demons and traitors who have infiltrated into our Dachong... "
The once arrogant Iron Suan Jingqi in the Xuanyuan Heavenly Army, as the personal bodyguard of Taishang Tianzun, had a hundred thousand soldiers and horses at its peak, but at this time, there were only less than 10,000 remnant cavalry left surrounded by dozens of soldiers. The car drove south, and among the 10,000 disabled riders, there were only 3,000 spirit riders like Black Suan Riders and Red Suan Riders left. The others could only use low-level spirit riders like Black Cunning Horses to replace their leg strength.
However, during the breakout, the Xuanyuan Heavenly Army lost all its floating battleships, and lost too many high-level spirit cavalry, and had to avoid numerous interceptions by the demon soldiers. It was not until three months later that everyone saw it in a roundabout way. Yunling is a mountain ridge that towers into the clouds and is covered with ice and snow all year round.
Chen Hai then said that the Beiling Army and the seven sect generals would support the Lieutenant King Qin Ran to ascend the throne in order to erase these rifts and contradictions and concentrate the last remaining strength of the Haidong human race to fight the demon together. The princes who fled south were dumbfounded and shocked. I was still doubtful, but looking at the attitudes of Lie Wang Qin Ran, Ji Yuanpeng, Fu Siyuan and the generals of the South Route Army, I knew that they had obviously been convinced by Chen Hai...
In the main hall, except for Zhu Wen, the general of Nanli Zhuguo, and the two heavenly true kings of the Nanli clan, the other fifteen heavenly true kings, from Ji Yuanpeng onwards, have all followed the fierce king Qin Ran in the south and north in recent years. Generals of the Southern Route Army.
Jiu Shanhe turned around and smiled at Ji Jianian and Ji Wuhuan, who were seriously injured and sitting in the Fulong chariot behind them.
In addition, the other 50,000 horses who fled south were organized into left and right guards during the march. The most common generals also had cultivation levels above the spiritual realm, and there were four to five thousand elite generals above the Mingqiao realm.
Before Qin Ran finished speaking, let alone Qin Shimin, the expressions of Zhu Wen, Jiu Shanhe, Ji Wushuang, and Ji Jianian changed. They secretly pinched the magic formula, stared at Qin Ran, and asked: "Your Highness, King Lie, what are you saying? What do you mean, are you still being bewitched by the traitor at this time?"
"Xiao Chen still said the same thing. Please allow your Majesty to allow Xiao Chen to present the ironclad evidence of the Four Demons of Zhu Jiu, Ji Ji, and then punish the nine tribes of Xiao Chen." Chen Hai repeated what he just said before walking to the center of the hall and sitting on the ground. , took out the Dutian Demon Seal and Jiuzhen Yuan Fei one by one, raised his hands to the surprised and doubtful Heavenly Lords, and said, "Lord Jiuzhen, who died fighting demons four thousand years ago, must be familiar to all the lords. As for Old Demon Yu'an's evil treasures, all the princes must have heard about it. This is the human and material evidence that I want to show you and the emperor today to verify its authenticity. If I have any slander against Zhu Jiuji With the suspicion of the four masters of Ji, it will not be too late for the princes to join forces and chop me into meat..."
"Chen Hai!" Qin Shimin shouted in shock and anger. He didn't need Qin Shimin's greeting. Zhu Wen, Jiu Shanhe, Ji Wuhuan, and Ji Jianian were about to take action. They would kill Chen Hai directly on the spot before talking about anything else. But at this moment , the entire meeting hall seemed to come alive in an instant. Billions of golden rays of light burst out of the ground, and in an instant, five dragon-shaped shadows formed and entangled towards Zhu Wen, Jiu Shanhe, Ji Wuhuan, Ji Jianian and Qin Shimin.
Of course, they don't think that Lie King Qin Ran will cause chaos. After all, the eight hundred demon soldiers and generals from the north who are slowly moving south are the biggest and most deadly threat to Anze City at present. Lie King is not a young boy and will not cause chaos. He came, but he had not won the throne before. It is certain that he was unwilling to hand over power at this time. Everything had to be compromised by the emperor and Prince Lie and his son.
The other Heavenly True Monarchs who followed Qin Shimin and Zhu Wen into the hall did not expect that the Lie King Qin Ran would directly attack the devil. Someone immediately stood up and advised: "The rebels in Beiling are the remnants of Liuyang Palace. Ji Jiangye By colluding with them, another false emperor will be established in the Northwest Territory at this time. How can we believe their words? Furthermore, without Lord Jiu, Lieutenant Ji and General Ji fighting to the death, we would not have the chance to arrive. Yun Ling is here to meet His Highness, and I ask Your Highness not to believe in rumors!"
Qin Shimin was furious, slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Who in the court dares to be so rude? Do you believe that I will kill nine of your clans today?"
Jiu Shanhe, Ji Wushuang, Ji Jianian, and other true monarchs who followed Qin Shimin into the inner city, as well as more than a hundred Yongjing generals with Tao Fei Realm cultivation, could all vaguely feel the murderous aura lurking in front of the meeting hall at this time.
In order to maintain the final majesty and popularity of the Qin royal family, Fu Siyuan would not expose this point at this time or in the future. However, after Qin Shimin abdicated and imprisoned him, it was impossible for Qin Shimin to recover his cultivation, and his injuries could not be cured. It can only get weaker day by day.
Although the other heavenly true kings were not targeted and restricted from moving, they were still in panic at this moment. They also believed that the Lie King Qin Ran was bewitched by Chen Hai and wanted to usurp the throne and establish himself. They did not act rashly under the watchful eyes of Ji Yuanpeng and others, but they were also together. Stand up and advise King Lie to think twice before acting...
They even thought about entering Anze City, so they suggested that the emperor canonize Lie Wang Qin Ran as the crown prince, commanding the remaining elite soldiers and horses of Chongguo, and taking charge of all matters of controlling demons, so as to resolve the conflict and confrontation between their father and son, so as not to cause any harm. Yongjing's last remaining combat power fell apart.
Almost all the last elite disciples of the Yongjing clan are concentrated here.
All the generals below the level of heaven were left waiting outside the palace by Lie Wang on the pretext that the hall was crowded. He only welcomed the emperor Qin Shimin and twelve heavenly kings including Ji Wuhuan, Jiu Shanhe, and Ji Jianian to enter the hall and take their seats.
Only in this way can the next step be to bring the Southern Lebanese Defense Force under its control.
During the march, a chariot shrouded in blue mist was wiped open by a pair of skinny hands, revealing a skinny old face with a sickly look. His eyes scanned the embarrassed generals on the left and right. Feeling somewhat relieved, I took this group of troops to Anze City and met up with the soldiers and horses from the South Road. Xuanyuan went to the palace and the Qin family, and they still had some capital to make a comeback.
Jiu Shanhe, Ji Wushuang, and Ji Jianian looked at each other, wondering if there was any plan. He just stormed Anze City, which had such a well-prepared defense system. He didn't know how many demon soldiers and generals had to die before he could finally capture Anze City. But Now that they have arrived at Anze City, they are about to take control of part of Anze City's defense. With Zhu Wen's cooperation, a retreat is just around the corner.
Qin Shimin had already reached the end of his life. His longevity was approaching, and his cultivation had declined greatly. He passed the throne to Emperor Jianxing more than forty years ago. During these forty years, he was bewitched by Jiu Shanhe and secretly practiced blood refining. Demonic power and cultivation can restore the old outlook.
Qin Shimin nodded with satisfaction, sat back in the car and said nothing.
At this time, Fu Siyuan, who had not fully recovered from his injuries, walked out from behind the screen, bowed to the trapped Qin Shimin and said: "Master is still stubborn at this time and is bewitched by evil spirits. It is really not suitable for him to handle political affairs personally. Siyuan dares to ask Master passed on to His Majesty King Lie..."
However, Chen Hai is a remnant of the Liuyang Palace, and the important ministers and generals of the Liuyang Empire, Cang Yu and Zuo Er, are still alive, and they have become popular in the northwest region, with a strong military force that is even far superior to the remaining troops of Dachong. The Lie King Qin Ran As well as Ji Yuanpan and Fu Siyuan colluding with them, aren't they afraid that after surviving the evil tribulation in the future, Liuyang Palace will liquidate the blood debt of the year
Restore the glory of Xuanyuan Shangdian
At present, the 20 to 30 million descendants of the clans in Nan Li have fled into the depths of Yunling to build fortifications and reestablish sects. Together with the 450 million ordinary people who have fled south to Yunling, Nan Li has become The last remaining strength is also the last remaining vitality of the human race in the southern part of the empire.
Qin Shimin nodded with no expression on his face and snorted: "If Qin Ran really wanted to make me feel relieved, he should have sent troops to rescue Yongjing when he was trapped. Yongjing might not have fallen - if it weren't for Shanhe this time If you, Jianian, and Wu Huan sacrifice your lives, I'm afraid that we and the rest of us will have been refined into Heavenly Demon Blood Pill by the Black Flame Old Demon."
The straight-line distance between Yongjing and Yunling is less than 100,000 miles. If the Xuanyuan Heavenly Army was in its heyday, thirty days would be enough to complete the journey.
Everything in the talisman book handed down by Ji Jiangye is true, so what can other heavenly kings say
"The same goes for Your Highness. There is no irrefutable proof, so you just say that Zhu Jiu, Ji Ji and the others are traitors. How can you convince Your Highness and all the public..." Before Qin Shimin could speak, an armored guard standing guard at the entrance of the main hall, at this time He actually gently closed the two heavy bronze doors of the main hall, not only preventing the sound from being heard in the main hall, but also directly cutting off the sight of many generals guarding outside the main hall.
The Nanli Defense Force also collapsed for a time. After fleeing into Yunling, it was reorganized into an army with the support and forcible suppression of Tiannan Kingdom. However, it is currently mainly defending the major and small passes deep in Yunling.
If we think more carefully about the reason why the Demonic Tribulation was so fierce, the root cause was that Emperor Qin Shimin was too eager to obtain the Liuyang Palace's relics, and was seduced by the Demonic Traitors to divert too many elites from the Northeast Region, which made the Gulan Mountain defense line under Ji Wuhuan's control. It was the first to collapse. Then Emperor Qin Shimin forced Jiang Yin to death and ordered Jiu Shanhe to take charge of Tashan's defense line, which wiped out all the five million elite defenders of Tashan. Then Dayanshan collapsed, Yongjing fell, and the eight vassals are currently only less than 100 years old. Half, when Dachong was in its heyday, there were nearly 30 billion mortals, but now there are less than 10 billion left. How can the emperor Qin Shimin be disconnected from the root of all this...
However, before entering the inner city, the Tiexuan Jingqi were arranged to rest in the camp in the east city, and only a thousand red armor guards were able to enter the inner city.
The scribe paused and said, "Your Highness did not mention the specific military strategy when summoned, but Your Highness will definitely come up with a perfect strategy to take His Majesty into the city - please be at ease, Your Majesty."
When they broke out of the siege from Yongjing City, there were still hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Although they avoided a decisive battle with the main force of the demon soldiers along the way and no large-scale battles occurred, some generals died of serious injuries one after another. In addition to the fact that some generals deserted and separated from the main force, and some generals and wounded soldiers whose cultivation level was too low to keep up with the speed of the main force's southward retreat were abandoned, in the end, less than 80,000 people were left at the foot of Yunling.
Winter has arrived in the blink of an eye, but the climate in the south is quite mild, and the wind is only slightly chilly, which can be tolerated by civilians wearing thin shirts, let alone brave soldiers with strong cultivation.
Fu Siyuan stood up at this time and directly asked Qin Shimin to abdicate. What could the princes who fled south say
As he spoke, Jiu Shanhe's expression perked up and he said with a smile: "Emperor, there are more than ten thousand spiritual birds flying thousands of miles ahead. It must be His Highness's crane-controlling army that came out of Anze City to meet us."
Going south from Mingyue Gorge is Meizhou, the largest basin deep in Yunling.
Their clothes are in tatters, and the fatigue and exhaustion caused by long-term fierce battles and escapes have made most of the generals haggard, and it has even directly affected their cultivation. They look like a large group of beggars dragging heavy loads. At a fast pace, he fled southward in a hurry among the bones of the lake and wilderness.
Qin Shimin also knew at this time that all this was planned by Lie Wang Qin Ran for a long time, just waiting for them to fall into the trap, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon Entrapment Formation was the strongest protective formation that the South Route Army brought out of Yongjing, even when his cultivation was at its peak , may not be able to break free, let alone Ji Jianian and the others.
"Okay, your wings have grown stronger now, and you actually know how to use the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon Entrapment Formation to deal with your father. Is it possible that you were bewitched by the traitor today and usurped the throne? Millions of soldiers and horses outside the hall will support you. As the new emperor? Aren't you afraid that the Southern Route Army will collapse immediately, and millions of demon soldiers and generals will engulf you all like a flood at any time?"
They had all entered the inner city, but Qin Ran and the generals of the South Route Army had not yet come out to greet them. They were still standing in the square in front of the meeting hall, waiting for them, and they seemed not to take his father in their eyes at all.
"Your Majesty forced Xiaochen's master to death. At this time, he wants to punish Xiaochen's nine tribes. Xiaochen naturally believes it, but please allow Xiaochen to first show the ironclad evidence of the four demons of Zhujiu, Jiji, and then punish Xiaochen. It won’t be too late for the Nine Clans.” Chen Hai said with a smile.
Who can imagine that this is the Xuanyuan Heavenly Army, which was once known as the strongest army in Haidong
After all, it is absolutely safe to enter Anze City. No one can threaten the emperor's safety anymore. The inner city is only two or three miles in radius. It is the core of the entire defense system in the middle of Yunling. There are many large and small government offices. There is no place to garrison troops. There are more than a thousand red armors. Wei's entry into the inner city only showed the final majesty of Qin Shimin's arrival in Yunling.
A large group of people and horses looked tired and marched quickly in the fields with swampy waters.
They did not feel any surprise about this, nor did they think of going elsewhere. They only regarded all this as Lie Wang Qin Ran's show of power to the emperor. They did not think that Lie King Qin Ran would easily hand over the military and political power of the Southern Route Army.
The carriages and horses moved slowly along the bluestone road of Anze City, but Qin Shimin in the carriage was already filled with uncontrollable anger.
…
After all, among these 10,000 remnant knights, 4,000 have a cultivation level above the Mingqiao Realm, and almost all other generals have a late or peak cultivation level at the Spiritual Realm.
Seeing the majestic mountains on both sides of Anze City, which are more than ten thousand feet high, and looking at Anze City as the core, there are nearly a hundred large and small fortresses in a radius of three to four hundred miles at the north entrance of Mingyue Gorge, and they are generally surrounded by defensive formations. , Jiu Shanhe even noticed that in the deep ridge northeast of Anze City, a hanging lake with a size of more than 10,000 acres was blocked by a dam. Once a large number of magic soldiers gathered in front of Anze City, the hanging lake dam After being blasted open, looking at the trend of the ridges, valleys and gullies, hundreds of millions of lake water will be poured directly onto the land hundreds of miles in front of Anze City...
However, even if there are only 10,000 Tiexuan Jingqi left, no one will be allowed to take a peek.
Most of Yongjing's troops and horses were left in the northern city fortress to rest and recuperate. Only the Tiexuan Jingqi, with less than 10,000 horses and horses, served as bodyguards and escorted everyone's vehicles into Anze City.
The remaining soldiers of Yongjing finally reunited with the elite crane-controlling army sent by Anze City to support them. Tens of thousands of demon cavalry surrounded them from the left and right. Seeing that the crane-controlling army was extremely powerful, they did not dare to charge forward with force. At night, we can see Yongjing's remaining soldiers entering the human defense line near Anze City.
In addition, Tiannan and Yue were both empires established by rebelling against Liuyang Palace and splitting the human race of Haidong Continent. How could they send troops to cooperate with the remnants of Liuyang Palace to control the demons
Chongguo only had three counties deep in Yunling. Among them, Meizhou County had a population of hundreds of millions before the calamity. At this time, with a large number of refugees fleeing in, the population had exceeded 250 million. Anze City It is the northern gateway of Meizhou County. As long as Anze City is defended, Xuanyuan Shangdian will have some opportunities to rest and recuperate.
Jiu Shanhe, Ji Jianian, and Ji Wuhuan were secretly happy. They knew that the deeper and more intense the conflict between Qin Shimin and Qin Ran, the more effective they would be.
