Three to four hundred destroyed Tianji chariots and tracked baggage trucks were abandoned on the battlefield. The 300,000 Longxiang Army was divided into nine formations and shrank to the northwest. The Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen stood on the edge of Meitong Ridge. On the west cliff, it can be seen that the various units of Long Xiang's army retreated in an orderly manner, without too many flaws exposed. They suppressed the requests of the Demon Lord and Demon Lord to send troops to pursue them, and held on to their respective positions.
The endurance of the lizard dragon is also much stronger than that of the Blood Demon Cunning Beast, the Blue-toothed Mastiff Wolf, etc. The only disadvantage is that its huge and city-car-like body makes its movements slow. In the ice and snow, it is almost as long as walking a thousand miles a day. It was the limit, but it could barely hold Long Xiangjun down.
Today, the Beiling Army has less than five million troops on the southern front. It can only defend a few fortified cities such as Lingzhou, Tianshui, Wuchang, and Hailing. But the problem is that south of the Nuchuan River, the Beiling Army has a large and small force. There were more than 6,000 cities, but not all soldiers and civilians were evacuated from these cities to the north.
"What exactly does Chen Hai want to do?"
The Beiling Army and the elite Longxiang Army only have 800,000 soldiers and horses in Wu Chang. The other human soldiers and horses are far away from here. Even if the Fengyan airship can quickly dispatch them, there is no way to assemble them in six or seven days. .
In early February of the second year of Emperor Lie, there was still a month to a month and a half before the Wantao River thawed. Long Xiang's army, which had been struggling with the demon soldiers for two months in the ice and snow, was exhausted and retreated to Wu Chang City to rest.
Pursuit
In the past two months, the main force of demon cavalry led by Demon Lord Gui Xi had not made any achievements in fighting against Longxiang's army, and even suffered heavy casualties. However, dozens of other demon soldiers destroyed countless cities and annihilated local troops. Millions of miscellaneous soldiers slaughtered tens of millions of ordinary people. It can be said that the results were brilliant.
As long as there are mountains with a radius of more than 500 miles along the way, Long Xiang's army can use the mountains to cut and delay the magic soldiers, and target the magic soldiers on one wing to launch a resolute counterattack, or there may be large lakes and rivers covered in ice and snow along the way. Next, it was a good opportunity for Long Xiang's army to counterattack the demon soldiers.
…
What a joke.
In the wave of strong attacks just now, Long Xiang's army fired tens of millions of heavy-loaded arrows. Because the heavy-loaded arrows were fired too fast and too densely, many heavy-bore crossbows and six-bore heavy crossbows were damaged due to explosions and cracks. There were two to three thousand vehicles. During the retreat, some Tianji chariots were obviously not seriously damaged, but because they might slow down the retreat, they were resolutely abandoned on the battlefield by Long Xiang's army. All this made Long Xiang's army in a short period of time. The attack power that erupted in a short period of time was astonishing, and the advance and retreat speed of Long Xiang's army was astonishing, but the root of all this was the powerful productivity of human society.
Although the southern defense line of Beiling is evacuated, the Longxiang Army is still fighting on the inside. It has the advantage of fighting on the inside in terms of troop replenishment, war equipment and material supplies, and there is even a considerable amount of war equipment and materials prepared on the ground. Somewhere in a secret place, Long Xiang's army was waiting to regroup when it passed by.
They took advantage of the steep terrain at the western foot of Meitong Ridge to build a defense line. If Demon Lord Gui Xi hadn't arrived in time, the first line of defense at the foot of the mountain would have been completely torn apart by Long Xiang's army. If they didn't have an advantage in strength, why would they arrive there? Fighting with Long Xiang's army in a wide open area
Although Demon Lord Guixi arrived at Dajin Mountain more than a year ago to lead the Xuanyin Valley Demon Soldiers and the remnants of Tiancheng Mountain in the battle against the Zibai Mountain defense line, apart from the soldiers and horses organized by the seven sects' coalition forces earlier at the eastern foot of Zibai Mountain, Apart from small-scale contact, this was his first time fighting against the ruthless direct soldiers of Liuyang Palace, Ma Longxiang Army.
On the one hand, these people saw that the Beiling Army did not retreat north, thinking that the situation was not that dangerous, and stayed with a sense of luck. After all, moving thousands or even tens of thousands of miles north was too difficult for civilians.
Don't you look at how much of the rock formations at the foot of the mountain have been cut away by heavy front arrows
The Demon Soldier's intention did not exceed Chen Hai's expectations.
This is also an unspeakable temptation for Demon Lord Gui Xi.
Since the Tianji chariots were incorporated into the army on a large scale, the history of the human race not being good at field combat has been rewritten, not to mention that the Long Xiang Army is still the most elite field soldier in Beiling Kingdom.
Long Xiang's army was alone outside, three hundred miles away from Wuchang City. Although it was still within the coverage of the Ten Thousand Immortals and Demon-Slaying Array, it was still three hundred miles away. The formation cannot be said to be very powerful, at least it cannot be compared with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon Entrapment Formation, the Gengyang Golden Thunder Formation, etc. As long as the demon soldiers deploy two blood refining demon formations on both sides and rear of Long Xiang's army, they can Blocking Long Xiang's army's retreat would also make it difficult for the Ten Thousand Immortals and Demon-Slaying Array to have any effect...
At this time, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen also changed from worry to support for Demon Lord Gui Xi's bold attack on Long Xiang's army. He thought that after destroying the most difficult and powerful enemy that the demon clan has ever encountered, he would kill more than 10,000 people. The two human races of Tiannan Kingdom and Yue Kingdom, which have not fought hard battles with the demons for years, will become quite relaxed...
Although Wu Zhen is a great demon king, his elite blue-scaled demons and elite winged demons suffered heavy losses in many battles in Canngling City, Yuzhou, Yinshan, and Broken Star Gorge. More than 400,000 demon soldiers have been gathered, but the proportion of elites who can really attack the human chariots is not high. At this time, there is naturally no confidence that they can entangle the Long Xiang army and wait for the main force from the south bank to cross the river.
After all, the spiritual mana of the sword cultivator Xuanxiu is not unlimited, and Demon Lord Gui Xi sends a small number of elite demon soldiers, especially the elite wing demons, to try to attack Wu Chang City from the flanks, forcing the defenders to attack the Ten Thousand Immortals Demon-Slaying Formation. The defense force is concentrated on the city itself, making it difficult to assist in breaking the ice.
Yangzhong, four hundred miles north of Meitong Ridge, is a county under the jurisdiction of Anqing County.
Of course, these alone were not enough. Demon Lord Guixi also assembled a larger blood-refining demon array behind Long Xiang's army, condensing the blood-evil giant blade to attack three to four hundred miles away, forcing the Blue Whale-class battleship to follow The human sword cultivators and mysterious cultivators who left had to allocate a large number of manpower for defense, further slowing down the speed of the human sword cultivators and mysterious cultivators to break the ice.
On the other hand, there are a large number of large and small clans in the Beiling Kingdom who do not recognize or even refuse to accept Chen Hai's rule. Before the Nuchuan River, Chen Hai wanted to establish a wide range of counties and extend his rule to the county level. In order to more fully mobilize manpower and materials, it was resisted by the middle and lower class clans that used to dominate local power.
In the Beiling Kingdom, all spirit cavalry and war birds are given priority to the Longxiang Army. Therefore, among the 500,000 defenders of Wuchang City, there are only more than 20,000 war cavalry. The rest of the people and horses ride ordinary camels. In the ice and snow, If you can walk four to five hundred miles in a day, it will be as high as the sky.
Listening to Demon Lord Gui Xi's order, the Great Demon King Wu Zhenzhen still hopes that this winter offensive can find an opportunity to bite Chen Hai, the cunning demon, and deal with the powerful enemy of the Beiling Army as soon as possible. Get the Taixu Dragon Soul Cauldron in your hand...
Watching Longxiang's army slowly withdrawing to the north, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen led all the demons and rushed to the south cliff of Meitong Ridge to meet Demon Lord Xi.
"What exactly does Chen Hai want to do?"
The Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen was still a little uneasy, so he bid farewell to Demon Lord Xi and came out in person to rush to the forward position less than twenty miles away from the Longxiang Army's defensive position to observe the movements of the Longxiang Army.
How could millions of demonic soldiers separate and join together as fast as two to three hundred million mortals could escape
What a joke.
In addition to Demon Lord Gui Xi, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen also separated dozens of demon consciousnesses and sent messages to inform all the Demon Lords that they had fallen into the trap set by Chen Hai, and they must move as quickly as possible. Disengage with Long Xiang’s army and withdraw southward immediately...
The Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen was still a little uneasy, so he bid farewell to Demon Lord Xi and came out in person to rush to the forward position less than twenty miles away from the Longxiang Army's defensive position to observe the movements of the Longxiang Army.
Today, the Beiling Army has less than five million troops on the southern front. It can only defend a few fortified cities such as Lingzhou, Tianshui, Wuchang, and Hailing. But the problem is that south of the Nuchuan River, the Beiling Army has a large and small force. There were more than 6,000 cities, but not all soldiers and civilians were evacuated from these cities to the north.
At this time, hundreds of witches and demons were re-icing the turbulent river so that millions of soldiers and horses from the south bank could cross the river one after another.
Although the number of demon soldiers and generals gathered outside Wu Chang City at this time was as high as two million, in addition to the Long Xiang Army, Wu Chang City was defended by the Heaven and Earth Formation, as well as the Beiling Army of 500,000 soldiers led by Fu Siyuan and others. The thirty Blue Whale-class armored warships, which are elite and have tens of thousands of Tianji chariots, can be called mobile fortresses. Although they are blocked by the strong river ice and cannot move at will, they also form a solid barrier to protect the front of Wu Chang City.
Three years ago, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen would never have thought this way, but especially after experiencing the bloody battle in Canngling City, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen knew in his heart that this was the most correct choice for them.
The ordinary people who really had a chance to escape were either near the cities of Wu Chang, Lingzhou, Tianshui, etc., or at the back of the battlefield where Long Xiang's army was entangled with the demon soldiers and the demon soldiers did not dare to deploy quickly.
In this way, even if the 500,000 Beiling troops in Wu Chang City are dispatched, Demon Lord Gui Xi is confident that he can use the superior force outside Wu Chang City to eat up all the human soldiers and horses in front of him in a short period of time.
Even the Great Demon Lord Qiu Shan was a little confused as to what Chen Hai's intention was in launching this wave of attacks.
They can even form an elite force of pure demon cavalry that is fast enough to quickly cross the Nuchuan River and enter the deeper areas of Beiling County to carry out deeper damage to human production. Then, before the river ice thaws, they can disperse and withdraw to thousands of miles. Go to the south bank of the Tao River to complete this winter offensive.
Yangzhong, four hundred miles north of Meitong Ridge, is a county under the jurisdiction of Anqing County.
After all this was completed, Long Xiang's army had slowly retreated to a small city four hundred miles to the northwest to gather and rest.
After hearing the news, Chen Hai led Long Xiang's army to attack Mei Tongling. The Great Demon King Qiu Shan also led several demon kings, more than a hundred demon lords, and more than 3,000 winged demon elites to rush over from the direction of the Zhujiang River to help in the battle. He never thought that after they arrived, , Longxiang's army had already retreated four hundred miles away, which made it very depressed. It couldn't figure out what Chen Hai was thinking for a while.
Although Wu Zhen is a great demon king, his elite blue-scaled demons and elite winged demons suffered heavy losses in many battles in Canngling City, Yuzhou, Yinshan, and Broken Star Gorge. More than 400,000 demon soldiers have been gathered, but the proportion of elites who can really attack the human chariots is not high.

Before the Nuchuan River, Chen Hai wanted to establish a wide range of counties and extend his rule to the county level. In order to more fully mobilize manpower and materials, it was resisted by the middle and lower class clans that used to dominate local power.
Some demon generals and demon princes often use lizards as mounts if they can't find better mounts.
In the entanglement in the ice and snow, Long Xiang's army had the upper hand. This was also because Chen Hai was willing to abandon a large number of Tianji war machines on the battlefield. In addition to using Tianji war machines as the main force when attacking and counterattacking, he was also willing to use a small number of soldiers and horses to equip a large number of Tianji war machines. The mechanical war machinery cut off the entanglement of the demon soldiers in time, and the casualties of Long Xiang's army were far less than those of the head-on confrontation with the demon soldiers.
The Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen was still a little uneasy, so he bid farewell to Demon Lord Xi and came out in person to rush to the forward position less than twenty miles away from the Longxiang Army's defensive position to observe the movements of the Longxiang Army.
Evil clouds are billowing above the sky, and all the demons are hiding in them. They can clearly feel the killing power above the small city four hundred miles away, shrouded like blood clouds.
Although the number of demon soldiers and generals gathered outside Wu Chang City at this time was as high as two million, in addition to the Long Xiang Army, Wu Chang City was defended by the Heaven and Earth Formation, as well as the Beiling Army of 500,000 soldiers led by Fu Siyuan and others. The thirty Blue Whale-class armored warships, which are elite and have tens of thousands of Tianji chariots, can be called mobile fortresses. Although they are blocked by the strong river ice and cannot move at will, they also form a solid barrier to protect the front of Wu Chang City.

It has the advantage of fighting on the inside in terms of troop replenishment, war equipment and material supplies, and there is even a considerable amount of war equipment and materials prepared on the ground. Somewhere in a secret place, Long Xiang's army was waiting to regroup when it passed by.
The attack power of a Blue Whale-class iron-armored battleship is even stronger than that of a thousand Tianji battleships, and on the wide water surface, the means of attacking the Blue Whale-class iron-armored battleship with the magic energy of the magic soldiers is limited, and it is easy to be defended...
And how many days can the small-scale local resistance hold out under the siege of tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers
If the area to the west of Jitian Canal and between the Nuchuan River and the Wantao River were flat plains covered solidly with ice and snow, Chen Hai would be completely helpless in the face of such a tactical arrangement by the demons.
Some demon generals and demon princes often use lizards as mounts if they can't find better mounts.
In that case, the Anxi Defense Force will remain completely stationary, and the Beiling Army will be even more stretched with such a small force.
The killing force was so strong that no matter how powerful Demon King Gui Xi was, his demon consciousness could not penetrate into the small town to detect the current situation of Long Xiang's army.
On the one hand, the demons divided their two to three million demon soldiers and demon generals into dozens of groups in the direction of the Zhujiang River. They completely ignored the Long Xiang army and went straight to the north to sweep away. On the other hand, they sent more demon cavalry and winged demons towards Mei Tong. Ling gathered here, and within a few days, a mobile combat force of about 400,000, composed purely of demon cavalry and winged demons, was formed. Under the personal command of Gui Xi Lao Mo, they advanced towards Yangzhong City. At this time, they gathered at The other demon soldiers and generals in Meitong Ridge were divided into dozens of groups at the same time, spreading out on both wings of the demon cavalry led by Gui Xi and advancing northward slowly.
More importantly, with tens of millions of ordinary people as blood food, the elite demon soldiers transformed from miscellaneous demons and even ordinary demon soldiers can already more than make up for the consumption.
Although Demon Lord Guixi arrived at Dajin Mountain more than a year ago to lead the Xuanyin Valley Demon Soldiers and the remnants of Tiancheng Mountain in the battle against the Zibai Mountain defense line, apart from the soldiers and horses organized by the seven sects' coalition forces earlier at the eastern foot of Zibai Mountain, Apart from small-scale contact, this was his first time fighting against the ruthless direct soldiers of Liuyang Palace, Ma Longxiang Army.
It's just that the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen saw the bloody demonic flames flickering in Demon Lord Gui Xi's eyes, and secretly felt that Demon Lord Gui Xi might not fully accept his suggestions.
In the wave of strong attacks just now, Long Xiang's army fired tens of millions of heavy-loaded arrows. Because the heavy-loaded arrows were fired too fast and too densely, many heavy-bore crossbows and six-bore heavy crossbows were damaged due to explosions and cracks. There were two to three thousand vehicles. During the retreat, some Tianji chariots were obviously not seriously damaged, but because they might slow down the retreat, they were resolutely abandoned on the battlefield by Long Xiang's army. All this made Long Xiang's army in a short period of time. The attack power that erupted in a short period of time was astonishing, and the advance and retreat speed of Long Xiang's army was astonishing, but the root of all this was the powerful productivity of human society.
Therefore, the purpose of their winter offensive should be to destroy and contain the productivity of Beiling Kingdom, destroy its farmland, roads, dams, cities, and houses, and massacre its ordinary people. After the tug-of-war three to five years ago, the Nuchuan River was The area between it and Wantao River has completely become a barren land.
Three to four hundred destroyed Tianji chariots and tracked baggage trucks were abandoned on the battlefield. The 300,000 Longxiang Army was divided into nine formations and shrank to the northwest. The Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen stood on the edge of Meitong Ridge. On the west cliff, it can be seen that the various units of Long Xiang's army retreated in an orderly manner, without too many flaws exposed. They suppressed the requests of the Demon Lord and Demon Lord to send troops to pursue them, and held on to their respective positions.
Although the Beiling Army had evacuated nearby soldiers and civilians many times before winter came, Chen Hai led the Longxiang Army to retreat, and there were still 30,000 to 40,000 civilians gathered in the city, panicking and waiting for reinforcements to come to rescue them.
"Chen Hai probably wants to deter me from marching north, or he wants to draw our attention to him..." Wu Zhen glanced at Demon Lord Gui Xi and said in a low voice.
This is also an unspeakable temptation for Demon Lord Gui Xi.
Chen Hai took advantage of the gap of an hour or two to resolutely and quickly launch a thunderous offensive against the Meitong Ridge position. Then, just as the soldiers and horses on the south bank were crossing the river, they retreated as quickly as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, leaving an impression on them. It was very profound. Demon Lord Gui Xi was among the evil clouds. It was no wonder that the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen did not insist on sending troops to entangle the rear of Long Xiang's army, but said to the demons on the left and right: "Chen Hai really slipped, no wonder You have suffered so many losses at his hands..."
Although Demon Lord Guixi arrived at Dajin Mountain more than a year ago to lead the Xuanyin Valley Demon Soldiers and the remnants of Tiancheng Mountain in the battle against the Zibai Mountain defense line, apart from the soldiers and horses organized by the seven sects' coalition forces earlier at the eastern foot of Zibai Mountain, Apart from small-scale contact, this was his first time fighting against the ruthless direct soldiers of Liuyang Palace, Ma Longxiang Army.
On February 6, the demons completed their preparations for the attack. Although not all the main forces came forward, they also launched a tentative attack. Before nightfall, the defenders staying in Wuchang City also began to take action. In addition to leaving 100,000 troops and horses in the city, Fu Siyuan led 400,000 troops out of the city and headed south along both sides of the Jitian Canal, preparing to go 400 miles away to rescue Chen. Long Xiang's army led by Hai Tong.
In the entanglement in the ice and snow, Long Xiang's army had the upper hand. This was also because Chen Hai was willing to abandon a large number of Tianji war machines on the battlefield. In addition to using Tianji war machines as the main force when attacking and counterattacking, he was also willing to use a small number of soldiers and horses to equip a large number of Tianji war machines. The mechanical war machinery cut off the entanglement of the demon soldiers in time, and the casualties of Long Xiang's army were far less than those of the head-on confrontation with the demon soldiers.
It's just that the ice on the Jitianqu River is more than two feet thick at this time. It is difficult to break through such a thick ice with ordinary means. We must gather swordsmen and mystical practitioners to blast away the ice with spiritual swords and magic weapons, or even directly use Ten Thousand Immortals to Kill. It is very easy for the Demonic Formation to break the ice, but the guard army gathered more than 3,000 sword cultivators and cooperated with the Ten Thousand Immortals Demon-Slaying Formation to break the ice with all their strength to cover the Blue Whale-class battleship as it moved south at full speed, advancing ten times against the sky every hour. Just a few miles.
Wu Zhen and the other demons saw that although the Demon Lord Gui Xi spoke calmly, the fearsome blazing blood flames were revealed from the depths of his demon eyes, so he stood aside silently without saying anything.
In order to prevent the demons from overly penetrating into the densely populated areas north of the Nuchuan River, Longxiang's army entered Wuchang City to rest for two days, left their wounds in the city, replenished some of their strength, and then left Wuchang City and advanced along the two banks of Jitian Canal. , forcing the demon soldiers and generals to gather to the south of Wu Chang City.
If the area to the west of Jitian Canal and between the Nuchuan River and the Wantao River were flat plains covered solidly with ice and snow, Chen Hai would be completely helpless in the face of such a tactical arrangement by the demons.
It's just that the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen saw the bloody demonic flames flickering in Demon Lord Gui Xi's eyes, and secretly felt that Demon Lord Gui Xi might not fully accept his suggestions.
Of course, these alone were not enough. Demon Lord Guixi also assembled a larger blood-refining demon array behind Long Xiang's army, condensing the blood-evil giant blade to attack three to four hundred miles away, forcing the Blue Whale-class battleship to follow The human sword cultivators and mysterious cultivators who left had to allocate a large number of manpower for defense, further slowing down the speed of the human sword cultivators and mysterious cultivators to break the ice.
Therefore, it can be said that the Demon Tribe's winter offensive lasted for two months and was a great success.
How could millions of demonic soldiers separate and join together as fast as two to three hundred million mortals could escape
Over the years, the demons fighting on the northern front have suffered too much at the hands of Chen Hai. Even Demon Lord Yu'an's demonic body was unfortunately broken into the hands of Demon Lord Guixi. With these words, what can the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen say
And if he leads the Long Xiang Army and tries his best to keep a distance from the main force of the Demon Cavalry led by Old Demon Gui Xi, then the dozens of Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals on both wings will be able to sweep away the cities and villages within a thousand or two thousand miles on both wings without any scruples. , there will be no delay in cleaning up the remaining human forces between the Wantao River and the Nuchuan River.
Pursuit
It had been more than two months since the Demon Tribe's winter offensive began. The first large-scale battle in the true sense did not begin until the beginning of the second year of Emperor Lie, in front of a small ridge four hundred miles south of Wuchang City. First, the two armies fought with ten thousand lizards each. The Dragon Demon Cavalry was the core, organizing 200,000 demon soldiers and generals coordinated by infantry and cavalry. They carried a large number of simple war weapons and penetrated from both wings to Jitian Canal to resist the side and rear of Long Xiang's army. They saw that Long Xiang's army was slow to react. , driving a large number of miscellaneous demons and human captives to this area, forming several blood-refining demon arrays, like several huge blood clouds, covering the sky above Jitian Canal.
On February 6, the demons completed their preparations for the attack. Although not all the main forces came forward, they also launched a tentative attack. Before nightfall, the defenders staying in Wuchang City also began to take action. In addition to leaving 100,000 troops and horses in the city, Fu Siyuan led 400,000 troops out of the city and headed south along both sides of the Jitian Canal, preparing to go 400 miles away to rescue Chen. Long Xiang's army led by Hai Tong.
Evil clouds are billowing above the sky, and all the demons are hiding in them. They can clearly feel the killing power above the small city four hundred miles away, shrouded like blood clouds.
Three to four hundred destroyed Tianji chariots and tracked baggage trucks were abandoned on the battlefield. The 300,000 Longxiang Army was divided into nine formations and shrank to the northwest. The Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen stood on the edge of Meitong Ridge. On the west cliff, it can be seen that the various units of Long Xiang's army retreated in an orderly manner, without too many flaws exposed. They suppressed the requests of the Demon Lord and Demon Lord to send troops to pursue them, and held on to their respective positions.
The decisive battle expected by Demon Lord Gui Xi should begin at noon on the seventh day.
In early February of the second year of Emperor Lie, there was still a month to a month and a half before the Wantao River thawed. Long Xiang's army, which had been struggling with the demon soldiers for two months in the ice and snow, was exhausted and retreated to Wu Chang City to rest.
"What exactly does Chen Hai want to do?"
Today, the Beiling Army has less than five million troops on the southern front. It can only defend a few fortified cities such as Lingzhou, Tianshui, Wuchang, and Hailing. But the problem is that south of the Nuchuan River, the Beiling Army has a large and small force. There were more than 6,000 cities, but not all soldiers and civilians were evacuated from these cities to the north.
As a result, there are no thousands of large and small cities as springboards between Hailing, Lingzhou, Tianshui, Wuchang and other cities. The gap is too large, making it impossible for the Beiling Army to transfer troops calmly under the threat of the large group of winged demons. With horses and supplies, its defense line naturally shrank to the north of the Nuchuan River.
Chen Hai did not have the ability to save everyone. He just drove these civilians out of the city and fled north. How many people could escape the evil in the end depended on their respective fates.
Although Demon Lord Guixi arrived at Dajin Mountain more than a year ago to lead the Xuanyin Valley Demon Soldiers and the remnants of Tiancheng Mountain in the battle against the Zibai Mountain defense line, apart from the soldiers and horses organized by the seven sects' coalition forces earlier at the eastern foot of Zibai Mountain, Apart from small-scale contact, this was his first time fighting against the ruthless direct soldiers of Liuyang Palace, Ma Longxiang Army.
After hearing the news, Chen Hai led Long Xiang's army to attack Mei Tongling. The Great Demon King Qiu Shan also led several demon kings, more than a hundred demon lords, and more than 3,000 winged demon elites to rush over from the direction of the Zhujiang River to help in the battle. He never thought that after they arrived, , Longxiang's army had already retreated four hundred miles away, which made it very depressed. It couldn't figure out what Chen Hai was thinking for a while.
At this time, Demon Lord Gui Xi, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen, Qiu Shan and others gathered back the main force, and pressed forward from the front. They planned to use the power of Mount Tai to crush the Long Xiang army entrenched in the unknown mountain ridge beside the Jitian River. into pieces.
Compared with the plan in the mind of the Great Demon King Wu Zhen, which is to organize a demon cavalry to go deep into the northern area of the Nuchuan River, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen really wants to organize a demon cavalry to advance beyond the Nuchuan River. Bei, he had to take more or less risks, so he didn’t stand up and make any suggestions again...
In this wave of strong attacks by the Longxiang Army, the demon soldiers suffered a lot of losses, almost 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses were lost. However, the Longxiang Army also left behind three to four hundred damaged light and heavy Tianji chariots, dragging more than 2,000 If the corpses of the soldiers are taken away, the loss will not be considered small.
As a result, there are no thousands of large and small cities as springboards between Hailing, Lingzhou, Tianshui, Wuchang and other cities. The gap is too large, making it impossible for the Beiling Army to transfer troops calmly under the threat of the large group of winged demons. With horses and supplies, its defense line naturally shrank to the north of the Nuchuan River.
The Blue Whale-class battleship is not indestructible. If it were just a Blue Whale-class armored battleship, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen would be confident that he would not need a stick of incense to dismantle a Blue Whale-class armored battleship into a pile of scrap metal. Iron, but the problem is that the combination of the Blue Whale-class armored warships and the elite human soldiers and horses will double the attack power and defensive power of the human race's elite soldiers and horses. This is terrible.
The decisive battle expected by Demon Lord Gui Xi should begin at noon on the seventh day.
The Great Demon King Wu Zhen was thinking about the power of the Blue Whale-class armored battleship while flying towards its magic tent. However, it restrained the evil wind and clouds and landed in front of the big tent. A thought suddenly flashed through the sea of consciousness. He sent a message in the direction of Demon Lord Gui Xi and shouted: "No, we have fallen into a trap! Each Blue Whale-class iron-clad battleship weighs more than 40 million kilograms. It can quickly crush river ice with its own weight and move forward, but The whole day today, the Beiling Army has been using spiritual swords, magical weapons or magic formations to break the ice. Why? Chen Hai wants us to miscalculate the time when the Blue Whale-class armored battleship will enter the battlefield!"
Even the Great Demon Lord Qiu Shan was a little confused as to what Chen Hai's intention was in launching this wave of attacks.
And how many days can the small-scale local resistance hold out under the siege of tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers
Over the years, the demons fighting on the northern front have suffered too much at the hands of Chen Hai. Even Demon Lord Yu'an's demonic body was unfortunately broken into the hands of Demon Lord Guixi. With these words, what can the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen say
In the wave of strong attacks just now, Long Xiang's army fired tens of millions of heavy-loaded arrows. Because the heavy-loaded arrows were fired too fast and too densely, many heavy-bore crossbows and six-bore heavy crossbows were damaged due to explosions and cracks. There were two to three thousand vehicles. During the retreat, some Tianji chariots were obviously not seriously damaged, but because they might slow down the retreat, they were resolutely abandoned on the battlefield by Long Xiang's army. All this made Long Xiang's army in a short period of time. The attack power that erupted in a short period of time was astonishing, and the advance and retreat speed of Long Xiang's army was astonishing, but the root of all this was the powerful productivity of human society.
What a joke.
As for the current layout of the demon clan, it is obvious that Demon Lord Gui Xi still hopes to seize the opportunity to eat him.
This is also the key to the fact that the demon soldiers and horses must withdraw to the south bank of the Wantao River before the river ice thaws.
On the Longxiang Army's defensive position, in addition to dozens of forbidden-level defensive formations deployed and Tianji chariots hidden deep in the woods, the generals were working hard to create obstacles such as antlers and horses, and were also hardening They dug more and deeper trenches into the ice and soil. It was obvious that Longxiang's army wanted to take advantage of the terrain and hold on until the ice and snow melted and they had to withdraw their troops.
"Chen Hai probably wants to deter me from marching north, or he wants to draw our attention to him..." Wu Zhen glanced at Demon Lord Gui Xi and said in a low voice.
It's just that the ice on the Jitianqu River is more than two feet thick at this time. It is difficult to break through such a thick ice with ordinary means. We must gather swordsmen and mystical practitioners to blast away the ice with spiritual swords and magic weapons, or even directly use Ten Thousand Immortals to Kill. It is very easy for the Demonic Formation to break the ice, but the guard army gathered more than 3,000 sword cultivators and cooperated with the Ten Thousand Immortals Demon-Slaying Formation to break the ice with all their strength to cover the Blue Whale-class battleship as it moved south at full speed, advancing ten times against the sky every hour. Just a few miles.
Three to four hundred destroyed Tianji chariots and tracked baggage trucks were abandoned on the battlefield. The 300,000 Longxiang Army was divided into nine formations and shrank to the northwest. The Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen stood on the edge of Meitong Ridge. On the west cliff, it can be seen that the various units of Long Xiang's army retreated in an orderly manner, without too many flaws exposed. They suppressed the requests of the Demon Lord and Demon Lord to send troops to pursue them, and held on to their respective positions.
In this wave of strong attacks by the Longxiang Army, the demon soldiers suffered a lot of losses, almost 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses were lost. However, the Longxiang Army also left behind three to four hundred damaged light and heavy Tianji chariots, dragging more than 2,000 If the corpses of the soldiers are taken away, the loss will not be considered small.
Therefore, it can be said that the Demon Tribe's winter offensive lasted for two months and was a great success.
At the western foot of Shiwei Mountain, Chen Hai led the Longxiang Army to advance eastward. He used delaying tactics and fierce attacks with small groups of elites to attract and contain the power and speed of the main assault force of the demon soldiers, so that the Seven Sects could attack in the north. In the larger area of the court, the ordinary people can be organized to evacuate and retreat in an orderly manner.
Although the number of demon soldiers and generals gathered outside Wu Chang City at this time was as high as two million, in addition to the Long Xiang Army, Wu Chang City was defended by the Heaven and Earth Formation, as well as the Beiling Army of 500,000 soldiers led by Fu Siyuan and others. The thirty Blue Whale-class armored warships, which are elite and have tens of thousands of Tianji chariots, can be called mobile fortresses. Although they are blocked by the strong river ice and cannot move at will, they also form a solid barrier to protect the front of Wu Chang City.
This is also the key to the fact that the demon soldiers and horses must withdraw to the south bank of the Wantao River before the river ice thaws.
At this time, Demon Lord Gui Xi, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen, Qiu Shan and others gathered back the main force, and pressed forward from the front. They planned to use the power of Mount Tai to crush the Long Xiang army entrenched in the unknown mountain ridge beside the Jitian River. into pieces.
It noticed that the human race was trying to break the ice on the Jitianqu River south of Wuchang City so that its naval warships could enter the scheduled battlefield to participate in the battle.
Don't you look at how much of the rock formations at the foot of the mountain have been cut away by heavy front arrows
In this wave of strong attacks by the Longxiang Army, the demon soldiers suffered a lot of losses, almost 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses were lost. However, the Longxiang Army also left behind three to four hundred damaged light and heavy Tianji chariots, dragging more than 2,000 If the corpses of the soldiers are taken away, the loss will not be considered small.
"What exactly does Chen Hai want to do?"
Therefore, the purpose of their winter offensive should be to destroy and contain the productivity of Beiling Kingdom, destroy its farmland, roads, dams, cities, and houses, and massacre its ordinary people. After the tug-of-war three to five years ago, the Nuchuan River was The area between it and Wantao River has completely become a barren land.
Having suffered too many losses at the hands of Chen Hai, it was not difficult for the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen to see through Chen Hai's plan this time.
The Great Demon King Wu Zhen was thinking about the power of the Blue Whale-class armored battleship while flying towards its magic tent. However, it restrained the evil wind and clouds and landed in front of the big tent. A thought suddenly flashed through the sea of consciousness. He sent a message in the direction of Demon Lord Gui Xi and shouted: "No, we have fallen into a trap! Each Blue Whale-class iron-clad battleship weighs more than 40 million kilograms. It can quickly crush river ice with its own weight and move forward, but The whole day today, the Beiling Army has been using spiritual swords, magical weapons or magic formations to break the ice. Why? Chen Hai wants us to miscalculate the time when the Blue Whale-class armored battleship will enter the battlefield!"
However, Demon Lord Gui Xi does not feel that the demon clan has suffered a loss.
In this way, even if the 500,000 Beiling troops in Wu Chang City are dispatched, Demon Lord Gui Xi is confident that he can use the superior force outside Wu Chang City to eat up all the human soldiers and horses in front of him in a short period of time.
And how many days can the small-scale local resistance hold out under the siege of tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers
Yangzhong, four hundred miles north of Meitong Ridge, is a county under the jurisdiction of Anqing County.
Compared with the plan in the mind of the Great Demon King Wu Zhen, which is to organize a demon cavalry to go deep into the northern area of the Nuchuan River, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen really wants to organize a demon cavalry to advance beyond the Nuchuan River. Bei, he had to take more or less risks, so he didn’t stand up and make any suggestions again...
Today, the Beiling Army has less than five million troops on the southern front. It can only defend a few fortified cities such as Lingzhou, Tianshui, Wuchang, and Hailing. But the problem is that south of the Nuchuan River, the Beiling Army has a large and small force. There were more than 6,000 cities, but not all soldiers and civilians were evacuated from these cities to the north.
The Blue Whale-class battleship is not indestructible. If it were just a Blue Whale-class armored battleship, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen would be confident that he would not need a stick of incense to dismantle a Blue Whale-class armored battleship into a pile of scrap metal. Iron, but the problem is that the combination of the Blue Whale-class armored warships and the elite human soldiers and horses will double the attack power and defensive power of the human race's elite soldiers and horses. This is terrible.
Although Demon Lord Guixi arrived at Dajin Mountain more than a year ago to lead the Xuanyin Valley Demon Soldiers and the remnants of Tiancheng Mountain in the battle against the Zibai Mountain defense line, apart from the soldiers and horses organized by the seven sects' coalition forces earlier at the eastern foot of Zibai Mountain, Apart from small-scale contact, this was his first time fighting against the ruthless direct soldiers of Liuyang Palace, Ma Longxiang Army.
Being familiar with the terrain, even before the Demon Tribe's winter offensive, Chen Hai ordered the generals in the Guowei Mansion and the military students in the Tianying Academy to draw up thousands of tactical plans for these terrains. Reserve is the greatest advantage of Longxiang Army.
Although the number of demon soldiers and generals gathered outside Wu Chang City at this time was as high as two million, in addition to the Long Xiang Army, Wu Chang City was defended by the Heaven and Earth Formation, as well as the Beiling Army of 500,000 soldiers led by Fu Siyuan and others. The thirty Blue Whale-class armored warships, which are elite and have tens of thousands of Tianji chariots, can be called mobile fortresses. Although they are blocked by the strong river ice and cannot move at will, they also form a solid barrier to protect the front of Wu Chang City.
At the western foot of Shiwei Mountain, Chen Hai led the Longxiang Army to advance eastward. He used delaying tactics and fierce attacks with small groups of elites to attract and contain the power and speed of the main assault force of the demon soldiers, so that the Seven Sects could attack in the north. In the larger area of the court, the ordinary people can be organized to evacuate and retreat in an orderly manner.
Since the Tianji chariots were incorporated into the army on a large scale, the history of the human race not being good at field combat has been rewritten, not to mention that the Long Xiang Army is still the most elite field soldier in Beiling Kingdom.
The Beiling Army and the elite Longxiang Army only have 800,000 soldiers and horses in Wu Chang. The other human soldiers and horses are far away from here. Even if the Fengyan airship can quickly dispatch them, there is no way to assemble them in six or seven days. .
Watching Longxiang's army slowly withdrawing to the north, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen led all the demons and rushed to the south cliff of Meitong Ridge to meet Demon Lord Xi.
In the heart of the great demon king Wu Zhen, he hopes that Demon Lord Gui Xi will personally lead an elite force to keep an eye on the Longxiang army led by Chen Hai. The other demon soldiers marching north do not need to pay attention to the Longxiang army at all, as long as the Beiling army The main force was silent in Zhucheng, so they divided into dozens of groups and swept across the Wantao River and Nuchuan River.
In this wave of strong attacks by the Longxiang Army, the demon soldiers suffered a lot of losses, almost 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses were lost. However, the Longxiang Army also left behind three to four hundred damaged light and heavy Tianji chariots, dragging more than 2,000 If the corpses of the soldiers are taken away, the loss will not be considered small.
Demon Lord Gui Xi also wanted to wait for the defenders of Wu Chang City to arrive before engaging in the final decisive battle, so as not to defeat Long Xiang's army halfway and allow Chen Hai to lead the remaining troops and escape into Wu Chang City again with the defenders who did not come behind. He also ordered the demon army that was far away from Wu Chang City and could not catch up with the battle to mobilize as many demon princes, demon generals and elite wing demons as possible to the south of Wu Chang City to participate in the battle.
They can even form an elite force of pure demon cavalry that is fast enough to quickly cross the Nuchuan River and enter the deeper areas of Beiling County to carry out deeper damage to human production. Then, before the river ice thaws, they can disperse and withdraw to thousands of miles. Go to the south bank of the Tao River to complete this winter offensive.
Of course, these alone were not enough. Demon Lord Guixi also assembled a larger blood-refining demon array behind Long Xiang's army, condensing the blood-evil giant blade to attack three to four hundred miles away, forcing the Blue Whale-class battleship to follow The human sword cultivators and mysterious cultivators who left had to allocate a large number of manpower for defense, further slowing down the speed of the human sword cultivators and mysterious cultivators to break the ice.
Although Wu Zhen is a great demon king, his elite blue-scaled demons and elite winged demons suffered heavy losses in many battles in Canngling City, Yuzhou, Yinshan, and Broken Star Gorge. More than 400,000 demon soldiers have been gathered, but the proportion of elites who can really attack the human chariots is not high. At this time, there is naturally no confidence that they can entangle the Long Xiang army and wait for the main force from the south bank to cross the river.
Three years ago, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen would never have thought this way, but especially after experiencing the bloody battle in Canngling City, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen knew in his heart that this was the most correct choice for them.
Even the Great Demon Lord Qiu Shan was a little confused as to what Chen Hai's intention was in launching this wave of attacks.
Three years ago, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen would never have thought this way, but especially after experiencing the bloody battle in Canngling City, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen knew in his heart that this was the most correct choice for them.
At this time, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen also changed from worry to support for Demon Lord Gui Xi's bold attack on Long Xiang's army. He thought that after destroying the most difficult and powerful enemy that the demon clan has ever encountered, he would kill more than 10,000 people. The two human races of Tiannan Kingdom and Yue Kingdom, which have not fought hard battles with the demons for years, will become quite relaxed...
On the one hand, these people saw that the Beiling Army did not retreat north, thinking that the situation was not that dangerous, and stayed with a sense of luck. After all, moving thousands or even tens of thousands of miles north was too difficult for civilians.
Although Demon Lord Guixi arrived at Dajin Mountain more than a year ago to lead the Xuanyin Valley Demon Soldiers and the remnants of Tiancheng Mountain in the battle against the Zibai Mountain defense line, apart from the soldiers and horses organized by the seven sects' coalition forces earlier at the eastern foot of Zibai Mountain, Apart from small-scale contact, this was his first time fighting against the ruthless direct soldiers of Liuyang Palace, Ma Longxiang Army.
In that case, the Anxi Defense Force will remain completely stationary, and the Beiling Army will be even more stretched with such a small force.
The reason why the human race is stronger than the demon race is that the elite soldiers and armors, the protective formations that can stand based on the spiritual veins, and the countless spiritual swords and magic weapons are just appearances. What is deeper is the power of the human society after being organized in an orderly manner. productive forces.
How could millions of demonic soldiers separate and join together as fast as two to three hundred million mortals could escape
This situation is neither good nor bad for Beiling County. After all, the demon soldiers did not organize large-scale demon cavalry and directly penetrated to the north of the Nuchuan River to cause destruction.
Although Wu Zhen is a great demon king, his elite blue-scaled demons and elite winged demons suffered heavy losses in many battles in Canngling City, Yuzhou, Yinshan, and Broken Star Gorge. More than 400,000 demon soldiers have been gathered, but the proportion of elites who can really attack the human chariots is not high. At this time, there is naturally no confidence that they can entangle the Long Xiang army and wait for the main force from the south bank to cross the river.
In addition to Demon Lord Gui Xi, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen also separated dozens of demon consciousnesses and sent messages to inform all the Demon Lords that they had fallen into the trap set by Chen Hai, and they must move as quickly as possible. Disengage with Long Xiang’s army and withdraw southward immediately...
The ordinary people who really had a chance to escape were either near the cities of Wu Chang, Lingzhou, Tianshui, etc., or at the back of the battlefield where Long Xiang's army was entangled with the demon soldiers and the demon soldiers did not dare to deploy quickly.
And if he leads the Long Xiang Army and tries his best to keep a distance from the main force of the Demon Cavalry led by Old Demon Gui Xi, then the dozens of Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals on both wings will be able to sweep away the cities and villages within a thousand or two thousand miles on both wings without any scruples. , there will be no delay in cleaning up the remaining human forces between the Wantao River and the Nuchuan River.
In the wave of strong attacks just now, Long Xiang's army fired tens of millions of heavy-loaded arrows. Because the heavy-loaded arrows were fired too fast and too densely, many heavy-bore crossbows and six-bore heavy crossbows were damaged due to explosions and cracks. There were two to three thousand vehicles. During the retreat, some Tianji chariots were obviously not seriously damaged, but because they might slow down the retreat, they were resolutely abandoned on the battlefield by Long Xiang's army. All this made Long Xiang's army in a short period of time. The attack power that erupted in a short period of time was astonishing, and the advance and retreat speed of Long Xiang's army was astonishing, but the root of all this was the powerful productivity of human society.
Of course, these alone were not enough. Demon Lord Guixi also assembled a larger blood-refining demon array behind Long Xiang's army, condensing the blood-evil giant blade to attack three to four hundred miles away, forcing the Blue Whale-class battleship to follow The human sword cultivators and mysterious cultivators who left had to allocate a large number of manpower for defense, further slowing down the speed of the human sword cultivators and mysterious cultivators to break the ice.
The attack power of a Blue Whale-class iron-armored battleship is even stronger than that of a thousand Tianji battleships, and on the wide water surface, the means of attacking the Blue Whale-class iron-armored battleship with the magic energy of the magic soldiers is limited, and it is easy to be defended...
At this time, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen also changed from worry to support for Demon Lord Gui Xi's bold attack on Long Xiang's army. He thought that after destroying the most difficult and powerful enemy that the demon clan has ever encountered, he would kill more than 10,000 people. The two human races of Tiannan Kingdom and Yue Kingdom, which have not fought hard battles with the demons for years, will become quite relaxed...
Therefore, the purpose of their winter offensive should be to destroy and contain the productivity of Beiling Kingdom, destroy its farmland, roads, dams, cities, and houses, and massacre its ordinary people. After the tug-of-war three to five years ago, the Nuchuan River was The area between it and Wantao River has completely become a barren land.
At this time, Demon Lord Gui Xi, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen, Qiu Shan and others gathered back the main force, and pressed forward from the front. They planned to use the power of Mount Tai to crush the Long Xiang army entrenched in the unknown mountain ridge beside the Jitian River. into pieces.
Over the years, the demons fighting on the northern front have suffered too much at the hands of Chen Hai. Even Demon Lord Yu'an's demonic body was unfortunately broken into the hands of Demon Lord Guixi. With these words, what can the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen say
In comparison, on the one hand, the demons plundered a small number of human survivors in the mountains for food, and on the other hand, they continued to drive miscellaneous demons from the south bank of the Wantao River to the north for food. However, in the end, they were far away from their strongholds on the south bank of the Wantao River, and were inferior to Long Xiang's army in all aspects. Convenient, in the end, Gui Xi Lao Mo had to gather more demon soldiers and generals in the middle to restrict the movements of Long Xiang's army.
Otherwise, every time Chen Hai passes through a city, he will have to recruit thousands or tens of thousands of ordinary people. In a short time, Long Xiang's army will become bloated and will eventually be surrounded by elite demon soldiers several times his own. It is difficult to escape the disaster of destruction.
Three years ago, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen would never have thought this way, but especially after experiencing the bloody battle in Canngling City, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen knew in his heart that this was the most correct choice for them.
As a result, there are no thousands of large and small cities as springboards between Hailing, Lingzhou, Tianshui, Wuchang and other cities. The gap is too large, making it impossible for the Beiling Army to transfer troops calmly under the threat of the large group of winged demons. With horses and supplies, its defense line naturally shrank to the north of the Nuchuan River.
In the past two months, the main force of demon cavalry led by Demon Lord Gui Xi had not made any achievements in fighting against Longxiang's army, and even suffered heavy casualties. However, dozens of other demon soldiers destroyed countless cities and annihilated local troops. Millions of miscellaneous soldiers slaughtered tens of millions of ordinary people. It can be said that the results were brilliant.
After all this was completed, Long Xiang's army had slowly retreated to a small city four hundred miles to the northwest to gather and rest.
The lizard dragon is more like a miniaturized devil dragon, but it does not have the innate magical power of soaring into the clouds and mists. It is small in size, but the adult lizard dragon is nearly ten meters long from head to tail and more than four meters high. It is extremely powerful. In addition to itself, it has two With a weight of 30,000 kilograms and thick scales, it is difficult for sword cultivators in the Spiritual Realm to inflict serious damage. It is not difficult for three or four elite heavy-armored blue-scaled demons with hunchbacks to attack. It can be said that it is the most elite heavy-armored combat force among the demon cavalry.
At this time, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen also changed from worry to support for Demon Lord Gui Xi's bold attack on Long Xiang's army. He thought that after destroying the most difficult and powerful enemy that the demon clan has ever encountered, he would kill more than 10,000 people. The two human races of Tiannan Kingdom and Yue Kingdom, which have not fought hard battles with the demons for years, will become quite relaxed...
It's just that the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen saw the bloody demonic flames flickering in Demon Lord Gui Xi's eyes, and secretly felt that Demon Lord Gui Xi might not fully accept his suggestions.
And how many days can the small-scale local resistance hold out under the siege of tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers
After all this was completed, Long Xiang's army had slowly retreated to a small city four hundred miles to the northwest to gather and rest.
As for the current layout of the demon clan, it is obvious that Demon Lord Gui Xi still hopes to seize the opportunity to eat him.
The demons were left with less than a month. The Beiling Army was not afraid of the old demon Ghost Xi and dared to attack Wu Chang City. However, the demon soldiers gathered more than two million troops outside Wu Chang City and swept away the cities and villages outside Wu Chang City. Once empty, he even sent demon cavalry across the Nuchuan River to sweep the city north of Wu Chang City. Chen Hai could not do much in Wu Chang City.
The decisive battle expected by Demon Lord Gui Xi should begin at noon on the seventh day.
In addition, the main mount of the magic soldiers is a huge and powerful lizard dragon.
As for the current layout of the demon clan, it is obvious that Demon Lord Gui Xi still hopes to seize the opportunity to eat him.
Demon Lord Gui Xi just glanced at the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen and said to the demons: "All the demon cavalry and winged demons of the army are gathering on the west road to follow my orders. The other armies originally planned to divide their forces to sweep the north and south..."
Although the number of demon soldiers and generals gathered outside Wu Chang City at this time was as high as two million, in addition to the Long Xiang Army, Wu Chang City was defended by the Heaven and Earth Formation, as well as the Beiling Army of 500,000 soldiers led by Fu Siyuan and others. The thirty Blue Whale-class armored warships, which are elite and have tens of thousands of Tianji chariots, can be called mobile fortresses. Although they are blocked by the strong river ice and cannot move at will, they also form a solid barrier to protect the front of Wu Chang City.
It's just that the ice on the Jitianqu River is more than two feet thick at this time. It is difficult to break through such a thick ice with ordinary means. We must gather swordsmen and mystical practitioners to blast away the ice with spiritual swords and magic weapons, or even directly use Ten Thousand Immortals to Kill. It is very easy for the Demonic Formation to break the ice, but the guard army gathered more than 3,000 sword cultivators and cooperated with the Ten Thousand Immortals Demon-Slaying Formation to break the ice with all their strength to cover the Blue Whale-class battleship as it moved south at full speed, advancing ten times against the sky every hour. Just a few miles.
Since the Tianji chariots were incorporated into the army on a large scale, the history of the human race not being good at field combat has been rewritten, not to mention that the Long Xiang Army is still the most elite field soldier in Beiling Kingdom.
Listening to Demon Lord Gui Xi's order, the Great Demon King Wu Zhenzhen still hopes that this winter offensive can find an opportunity to bite Chen Hai, the cunning demon, and deal with the powerful enemy of the Beiling Army as soon as possible. Get the Taixu Dragon Soul Cauldron in your hand...
Demon Lord Gui Xi just glanced at the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen and said to the demons: "All the demon cavalry and winged demons of the army are gathering on the west road to follow my orders. The other armies originally planned to divide their forces to sweep the north and south..."
The Beiling Army and the elite Longxiang Army only have 800,000 soldiers and horses in Wu Chang. The other human soldiers and horses are far away from here. Even if the Fengyan airship can quickly dispatch them, there is no way to assemble them in six or seven days. .
These two main reasons led to the fact that when this area entered winter, there were still two to three hundred million mortals stranded, and it was not until a large number of demon soldiers marched north that they fled northward in a hurry.
Demon Lord Gui Xi just glanced at the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen and said to the demons: "All the demon cavalry and winged demons of the army are gathering on the west road to follow my orders. The other armies originally planned to divide their forces to sweep the north and south..."
Compared with the plan in the mind of the Great Demon King Wu Zhen, which is to organize a demon cavalry to go deep into the northern area of the Nuchuan River, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen really wants to organize a demon cavalry to advance beyond the Nuchuan River. Bei, he had to take more or less risks, so he didn’t stand up and make any suggestions again...
On the one hand, the demons divided their two to three million demon soldiers and demon generals into dozens of groups in the direction of the Zhujiang River. They completely ignored the Long Xiang army and went straight to the north to sweep away. On the other hand, they sent more demon cavalry and winged demons towards Mei Tong. Ling gathered here, and within a few days, a mobile combat force of about 400,000, composed purely of demon cavalry and winged demons, was formed. Under the personal command of Gui Xi Lao Mo, they advanced towards Yangzhong City. At this time, they gathered at The other demon soldiers and generals in Meitong Ridge were divided into dozens of groups at the same time, spreading out on both wings of the demon cavalry led by Gui Xi and advancing northward slowly.
On the Longxiang Army's defensive position, in addition to dozens of forbidden-level defensive formations deployed and Tianji chariots hidden deep in the woods, the generals were working hard to create obstacles such as antlers and horses, and were also hardening They dug more and deeper trenches into the ice and soil. It was obvious that Longxiang's army wanted to take advantage of the terrain and hold on until the ice and snow melted and they had to withdraw their troops.
However, Demon Lord Gui Xi does not feel that the demon clan has suffered a loss.
…
And how many days can the small-scale local resistance hold out under the siege of tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers
The reason why the human race is stronger than the demon race is that the elite soldiers and armors, the protective formations that can stand based on the spiritual veins, and the countless spiritual swords and magic weapons are just appearances. What is deeper is the power of the human society after being organized in an orderly manner. productive forces.
The Great Demon King Wu Zhen was in Cangling City and had seen how terrifying the Long Xiang Army's determination to defend the city was. Seeing that Long Xiang Army was preparing for defense with all its strength, he was even more worried that in three to five days, he would eat up the Long Xiang Army and the people in front of him. How high is the possibility of the 400,000 defenders leaving the city? I guess in the eyes of Demon Lord Gui Xi, it may be worth exchanging the more than 2 million demon soldiers here for Long Xiang's army and the destruction of the 400,000 defenders.
And if he leads the Long Xiang Army and tries his best to keep a distance from the main force of the Demon Cavalry led by Old Demon Gui Xi, then the dozens of Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals on both wings will be able to sweep away the cities and villages within a thousand or two thousand miles on both wings without any scruples. , there will be no delay in cleaning up the remaining human forces between the Wantao River and the Nuchuan River.
Even further, if Wu Chang City can be captured with such a huge sacrifice, then all the demon soldiers on the north bank of the Wantao River can be gathered into Wu Chang City to hold on until the next winter - after all, Wu Chang City was driven in by them. Thousands of ordinary people can provide them with necessary supplies.
Yangzhong, four hundred miles north of Meitong Ridge, is a county under the jurisdiction of Anqing County.
At this time, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen also changed from worry to support for Demon Lord Gui Xi's bold attack on Long Xiang's army. He thought that after destroying the most difficult and powerful enemy that the demon clan has ever encountered, he would kill more than 10,000 people. The two human races of Tiannan Kingdom and Yue Kingdom, which have not fought hard battles with the demons for years, will become quite relaxed...
And if he leads the Long Xiang Army and tries his best to keep a distance from the main force of the Demon Cavalry led by Old Demon Gui Xi, then the dozens of Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals on both wings will be able to sweep away the cities and villages within a thousand or two thousand miles on both wings without any scruples. , there will be no delay in cleaning up the remaining human forces between the Wantao River and the Nuchuan River.
Although the Beiling Army had evacuated nearby soldiers and civilians many times before winter came, Chen Hai led the Longxiang Army to retreat, and there were still 30,000 to 40,000 civilians gathered in the city, panicking and waiting for reinforcements to come to rescue them.
As for the current layout of the demon clan, it is obvious that Demon Lord Gui Xi still hopes to seize the opportunity to eat him.
Although the number of demon soldiers and generals gathered outside Wu Chang City at this time was as high as two million, in addition to the Long Xiang Army, Wu Chang City was defended by the Heaven and Earth Formation, as well as the Beiling Army of 500,000 soldiers led by Fu Siyuan and others. The thirty Blue Whale-class armored warships, which are elite and have tens of thousands of Tianji chariots, can be called mobile fortresses. Although they are blocked by the strong river ice and cannot move at will, they also form a solid barrier to protect the front of Wu Chang City.
Chen Hai did not have the ability to save everyone. He just drove these civilians out of the city and fled north. How many people could escape the evil in the end depended on their respective fates.
After all, the spiritual mana of the sword cultivator Xuanxiu is not unlimited, and Demon Lord Gui Xi sends a small number of elite demon soldiers, especially the elite wing demons, to try to attack Wu Chang City from the flanks, forcing the defenders to attack the Ten Thousand Immortals Demon-Slaying Formation. The defense force is concentrated on the city itself, making it difficult to assist in breaking the ice.
The reason why the human race is stronger than the demon race is that the elite soldiers and armors, the protective formations that can stand based on the spiritual veins, and the countless spiritual swords and magic weapons are just appearances. What is deeper is the power of the human society after being organized in an orderly manner. productive forces.
They can even form an elite force of pure demon cavalry that is fast enough to quickly cross the Nuchuan River and enter the deeper areas of Beiling County to carry out deeper damage to human production. Then, before the river ice thaws, they can disperse and withdraw to thousands of miles. Go to the south bank of the Tao River to complete this winter offensive.
In addition, the main mount of the magic soldiers is a huge and powerful lizard dragon.
It's just that the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen saw the bloody demonic flames flickering in Demon Lord Gui Xi's eyes, and secretly felt that Demon Lord Gui Xi might not fully accept his suggestions.
Otherwise, every time Chen Hai passes through a city, he will have to recruit thousands or tens of thousands of ordinary people. In a short time, Long Xiang's army will become bloated and will eventually be surrounded by elite demon soldiers several times his own. It is difficult to escape the disaster of destruction.
After hearing the news, Chen Hai led Long Xiang's army to attack Mei Tongling. The Great Demon King Qiu Shan also led several demon kings, more than a hundred demon lords, and more than 3,000 winged demon elites to rush over from the direction of the Zhujiang River to help in the battle. He never thought that after they arrived, , Longxiang's army had already retreated four hundred miles away, which made it very depressed. It couldn't figure out what Chen Hai was thinking for a while.
The killing force was so strong that no matter how powerful Demon King Gui Xi was, his demon consciousness could not penetrate into the small town to detect the current situation of Long Xiang's army.
This is also the key to the fact that the demon soldiers and horses must withdraw to the south bank of the Wantao River before the river ice thaws.
In addition, the main mount of the magic soldiers is a huge and powerful lizard dragon.
In early February of the second year of Emperor Lie, there was still a month to a month and a half before the Wantao River thawed. Long Xiang's army, which had been struggling with the demon soldiers for two months in the ice and snow, was exhausted and retreated to Wu Chang City to rest.
Long Xiang's army was alone outside, three hundred miles away from Wuchang City. Although it was still within the coverage of the Ten Thousand Immortals and Demon-Slaying Array, it was still three hundred miles away. The formation cannot be said to be very powerful, at least it cannot be compared with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon Entrapment Formation, the Gengyang Golden Thunder Formation, etc. As long as the demon soldiers deploy two blood refining demon formations on both sides and rear of Long Xiang's army, they can Blocking Long Xiang's army's retreat would also make it difficult for the Ten Thousand Immortals and Demon-Slaying Array to have any effect...
On the Longxiang Army's defensive position, in addition to dozens of forbidden-level defensive formations deployed and Tianji chariots hidden deep in the woods, the generals were working hard to create obstacles such as antlers and horses, and were also hardening They dug more and deeper trenches into the ice and soil. It was obvious that Longxiang's army wanted to take advantage of the terrain and hold on until the ice and snow melted and they had to withdraw their troops.
After all, the spiritual mana of the sword cultivator Xuanxiu is not unlimited, and Demon Lord Gui Xi sends a small number of elite demon soldiers, especially the elite wing demons, to try to attack Wu Chang City from the flanks, forcing the defenders to attack the Ten Thousand Immortals Demon-Slaying Formation. The defense force is concentrated on the city itself, making it difficult to assist in breaking the ice.
On the one hand, the demons divided their two to three million demon soldiers and demon generals into dozens of groups in the direction of the Zhujiang River. They completely ignored the Long Xiang army and went straight to the north to sweep away. On the other hand, they sent more demon cavalry and winged demons towards Mei Tong. Ling gathered here, and within a few days, a mobile combat force of about 400,000, composed purely of demon cavalry and winged demons, was formed. Under the personal command of Gui Xi Lao Mo, they advanced towards Yangzhong City. At this time, they gathered at The other demon soldiers and generals in Meitong Ridge were divided into dozens of groups at the same time, spreading out on both wings of the demon cavalry led by Gui Xi and advancing northward slowly.
Yangzhong, four hundred miles north of Meitong Ridge, is a county under the jurisdiction of Anqing County.
The ordinary people who really had a chance to escape were either near the cities of Wu Chang, Lingzhou, Tianshui, etc., or at the back of the battlefield where Long Xiang's army was entangled with the demon soldiers and the demon soldiers did not dare to deploy quickly.
Seeing the demon soldiers spreading out like a giant magic bat to the south of Yangzhong City, Chen Hai was forced to lead Long Xiang's army to withdraw from Yangzhong City and march northwest to see if there was any chance of attacking the demon soldiers' flanks. Take a bite.
Being familiar with the terrain, even before the Demon Tribe's winter offensive, Chen Hai ordered the generals in the Guowei Mansion and the military students in the Tianying Academy to draw up thousands of tactical plans for these terrains. Reserve is the greatest advantage of Longxiang Army.
In the Beiling Kingdom, all spirit cavalry and war birds are given priority to the Longxiang Army. Therefore, among the 500,000 defenders of Wuchang City, there are only more than 20,000 war cavalry. The rest of the people and horses ride ordinary camels. In the ice and snow, If you can walk four to five hundred miles in a day, it will be as high as the sky.
"Chen Hai probably wants to deter me from marching north, or he wants to draw our attention to him..." Wu Zhen glanced at Demon Lord Gui Xi and said in a low voice.
On the Longxiang Army's defensive position, in addition to dozens of forbidden-level defensive formations deployed and Tianji chariots hidden deep in the woods, the generals were working hard to create obstacles such as antlers and horses, and were also hardening They dug more and deeper trenches into the ice and soil. It was obvious that Longxiang's army wanted to take advantage of the terrain and hold on until the ice and snow melted and they had to withdraw their troops.
Today, the Beiling Army has less than five million troops on the southern front. It can only defend a few fortified cities such as Lingzhou, Tianshui, Wuchang, and Hailing. But the problem is that south of the Nuchuan River, the Beiling Army has a large and small force. There were more than 6,000 cities, but not all soldiers and civilians were evacuated from these cities to the north.
Three years ago, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen would never have thought this way, but especially after experiencing the bloody battle in Canngling City, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen knew in his heart that this was the most correct choice for them.
In this wave of strong attacks by the Longxiang Army, the demon soldiers suffered a lot of losses, almost 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses were lost. However, the Longxiang Army also left behind three to four hundred damaged light and heavy Tianji chariots, dragging more than 2,000 If the corpses of the soldiers are taken away, the loss will not be considered small.
The Demon Soldier's intention did not exceed Chen Hai's expectations.
Having suffered too many losses at the hands of Chen Hai, it was not difficult for the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen to see through Chen Hai's plan this time.
Although the Beiling Army had evacuated nearby soldiers and civilians many times before winter came, Chen Hai led the Longxiang Army to retreat, and there were still 30,000 to 40,000 civilians gathered in the city, panicking and waiting for reinforcements to come to rescue them.
This situation is neither good nor bad for Beiling County. After all, the demon soldiers did not organize large-scale demon cavalry and directly penetrated to the north of the Nuchuan River to cause destruction.
Although Wu Zhen is a great demon king, his elite blue-scaled demons and elite winged demons suffered heavy losses in many battles in Canngling City, Yuzhou, Yinshan, and Broken Star Gorge. More than 400,000 demon soldiers have been gathered, but the proportion of elites who can really attack the human chariots is not high. At this time, there is naturally no confidence that they can entangle the Long Xiang army and wait for the main force from the south bank to cross the river.
On the Longxiang Army's defensive position, in addition to dozens of forbidden-level defensive formations deployed and Tianji chariots hidden deep in the woods, the generals were working hard to create obstacles such as antlers and horses, and were also hardening They dug more and deeper trenches into the ice and soil. It was obvious that Longxiang's army wanted to take advantage of the terrain and hold on until the ice and snow melted and they had to withdraw their troops.
In addition, the main mount of the magic soldiers is a huge and powerful lizard dragon.
The ordinary people who really had a chance to escape were either near the cities of Wu Chang, Lingzhou, Tianshui, etc., or at the back of the battlefield where Long Xiang's army was entangled with the demon soldiers and the demon soldiers did not dare to deploy quickly.
Pursuit
In that case, the Anxi Defense Force will remain completely stationary, and the Beiling Army will be even more stretched with such a small force.
Today, the Beiling Army has less than five million troops on the southern front. It can only defend a few fortified cities such as Lingzhou, Tianshui, Wuchang, and Hailing. But the problem is that south of the Nuchuan River, the Beiling Army has a large and small force. There were more than 6,000 cities, but not all soldiers and civilians were evacuated from these cities to the north.
After all, the spiritual mana of the sword cultivator Xuanxiu is not unlimited, and Demon Lord Gui Xi sends a small number of elite demon soldiers, especially the elite wing demons, to try to attack Wu Chang City from the flanks, forcing the defenders to attack the Ten Thousand Immortals Demon-Slaying Formation. The defense force is concentrated on the city itself, making it difficult to assist in breaking the ice.
It's just that the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen saw the bloody demonic flames flickering in Demon Lord Gui Xi's eyes, and secretly felt that Demon Lord Gui Xi might not fully accept his suggestions.
As for the current layout of the demon clan, it is obvious that Demon Lord Gui Xi still hopes to seize the opportunity to eat him.
Demon Lord Gui Xi just glanced at the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen and said to the demons: "All the demon cavalry and winged demons of the army are gathering on the west road to follow my orders. The other armies originally planned to divide their forces to sweep the north and south..."
Therefore, it can be said that the Demon Tribe's winter offensive lasted for two months and was a great success.
How could millions of demonic soldiers separate and join together as fast as two to three hundred million mortals could escape
In addition, the main mount of the magic soldiers is a huge and powerful lizard dragon.
Although Wu Zhen is a great demon king, his elite blue-scaled demons and elite winged demons suffered heavy losses in many battles in Canngling City, Yuzhou, Yinshan, and Broken Star Gorge. More than 400,000 demon soldiers have been gathered, but the proportion of elites who can really attack the human chariots is not high. At this time, there is naturally no confidence that they can entangle the Long Xiang army and wait for the main force from the south bank to cross the river.
But at this time, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen felt that the southward march of the defenders out of the city had increased slightly. Due to the extremely high morale of the Beiling Army, Demon Lord Gui Xi could not even detect the situation inside the marching queue of human soldiers and horses, and raised his head. Seeing the general in the north condensing more bloody demonic blades and slashing at the marching queue of the human defenders leaving the city, the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen guessed that the defenders wanted to come over quickly to join Long Xiang's army, but as long as Naru moved, It's enough that the Fortress Blue Whale-class battleship can't speed up.
If Chen Hai and the others hesitate a little at this time and are entangled by the main force of the demon cavalry led by Demon Lord Gui Xi, the other demon soldiers and generals on both wings will gather in the middle as quickly as possible and surround Long Xiang's army. If Longxiang's army is isolated and helpless, it will be difficult to support them until reinforcements arrive and they will be destroyed.
Chen Hai did not have the ability to save everyone. He just drove these civilians out of the city and fled north. How many people could escape the evil in the end depended on their respective fates.
Although the soldiers and horses entangled with Long Xiang's army suffered heavy casualties, with losses exceeding 200,000 in almost two months, and they were all elites, outside the narrow battlefield where they were entangled with Long Xiang's army, in Jitian Canal, Zibai Mountain, In the vast area enclosed by the Wantao River and the Nuchuan River, the number of stranded humans who did not retreat north before the launch of the winter offensive was still unimaginable.
It's just that the ice on the Jitianqu River is more than two feet thick at this time. It is difficult to break through such a thick ice with ordinary means. We must gather swordsmen and mystical practitioners to blast away the ice with spiritual swords and magic weapons, or even directly use Ten Thousand Immortals to Kill. It is very easy for the Demonic Formation to break the ice, but the guard army gathered more than 3,000 sword cultivators and cooperated with the Ten Thousand Immortals Demon-Slaying Formation to break the ice with all their strength to cover the Blue Whale-class battleship as it moved south at full speed, advancing ten times against the sky every hour. Just a few miles.
And if he leads the Long Xiang Army and tries his best to keep a distance from the main force of the Demon Cavalry led by Old Demon Gui Xi, then the dozens of Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals on both wings will be able to sweep away the cities and villages within a thousand or two thousand miles on both wings without any scruples. , there will be no delay in cleaning up the remaining human forces between the Wantao River and the Nuchuan River.
Although the number of demon soldiers and generals gathered outside Wu Chang City at this time was as high as two million, in addition to the Long Xiang Army, Wu Chang City was defended by the Heaven and Earth Formation, as well as the Beiling Army of 500,000 soldiers led by Fu Siyuan and others. The thirty Blue Whale-class armored warships, which are elite and have tens of thousands of Tianji chariots, can be called mobile fortresses. Although they are blocked by the strong river ice and cannot move at will, they also form a solid barrier to protect the front of Wu Chang City.
Although Wu Zhen is a great demon king, his elite blue-scaled demons and elite winged demons suffered heavy losses in many battles in Canngling City, Yuzhou, Yinshan, and Broken Star Gorge. More than 400,000 demon soldiers have been gathered, but the proportion of elites who can really attack the human chariots is not high. At this time, there is naturally no confidence that they can entangle the Long Xiang army and wait for the main force from the south bank to cross the river.
On the one hand, these people saw that the Beiling Army did not retreat north, thinking that the situation was not that dangerous, and stayed with a sense of luck. After all, moving thousands or even tens of thousands of miles north was too difficult for civilians.
"Chen Hai probably wants to deter me from marching north, or he wants to draw our attention to him..." Wu Zhen glanced at Demon Lord Gui Xi and said in a low voice.
The Great Demon King Wu Zhen was thinking about the power of the Blue Whale-class armored battleship while flying towards its magic tent. However, it restrained the evil wind and clouds and landed in front of the big tent. A thought suddenly flashed through the sea of consciousness. He sent a message in the direction of Demon Lord Gui Xi and shouted: "No, we have fallen into a trap! Each Blue Whale-class iron-clad battleship weighs more than 40 million kilograms. It can quickly crush river ice with its own weight and move forward, but The whole day today, the Beiling Army has been using spiritual swords, magical weapons or magic formations to break the ice. Why? Chen Hai wants us to miscalculate the time when the Blue Whale-class armored battleship will enter the battlefield!"
After hearing the news, Chen Hai led Long Xiang's army to attack Mei Tongling. The Great Demon King Qiu Shan also led several demon kings, more than a hundred demon lords, and more than 3,000 winged demon elites to rush over from the direction of the Zhujiang River to help in the battle. He never thought that after they arrived, , Longxiang's army had already retreated four hundred miles away, which made it very depressed. It couldn't figure out what Chen Hai was thinking for a while.
On the one hand, these people saw that the Beiling Army did not retreat north, thinking that the situation was not that dangerous, and stayed with a sense of luck. After all, moving thousands or even tens of thousands of miles north was too difficult for civilians.
Among the demon soldiers, those above the rank of colonel are not counted. The elite demon soldiers at the soldier level or the military guard level can control the mounts that enter the battlefield. They are mainly composed of strong and fast-moving blood demon cunning beasts and green-toothed mastiffs. It consists of wolves and others, carrying the elite Blue Scale Demon Guards. It can travel two to three thousand miles a day, but its endurance and carrying capacity are slightly weaker. It is difficult for the elite Blue Scale Demon Guards to wear heavy armor. There is no ability to attack the human race's defense formation from the front.
However, Demon Lord Gui Xi does not feel that the demon clan has suffered a loss.
Although the Beiling Army had evacuated nearby soldiers and civilians many times before winter came, Chen Hai led the Longxiang Army to retreat, and there were still 30,000 to 40,000 civilians gathered in the city, panicking and waiting for reinforcements to come to rescue them.
In addition, the main mount of the magic soldiers is a huge and powerful lizard dragon.

However, the Longxiang Army also left behind three to four hundred damaged light and heavy Tianji chariots, dragging more than 2,000 If the corpses of the soldiers are taken away, the loss will not be considered small.
And how many days can the small-scale local resistance hold out under the siege of tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers
Therefore, the purpose of their winter offensive should be to destroy and contain the productivity of Beiling Kingdom, destroy its farmland, roads, dams, cities, and houses, and massacre its ordinary people. After the tug-of-war three to five years ago, the Nuchuan River was The area between it and Wantao River has completely become a barren land.
The lizard dragon is more like a miniaturized devil dragon, but it does not have the innate magical power of soaring into the clouds and mists. It is small in size, but the adult lizard dragon is nearly ten meters long from head to tail and more than four meters high. It is extremely powerful. In addition to itself, it has two With a weight of 30,000 kilograms and thick scales, it is difficult for sword cultivators in the Spiritual Realm to inflict serious damage. It is not difficult for three or four elite heavy-armored blue-scaled demons with hunchbacks to attack. It can be said that it is the most elite heavy-armored combat force among the demon cavalry.
On the other hand, there are a large number of large and small clans in the Beiling Kingdom who do not recognize or even refuse to accept Chen Hai's rule. Before the Nuchuan River, Chen Hai wanted to establish a wide range of counties and extend his rule to the county level. In order to more fully mobilize manpower and materials, it was resisted by the middle and lower class clans that used to dominate local power.
The decisive battle expected by Demon Lord Gui Xi should begin at noon on the seventh day.
Some demon generals and demon princes often use lizards as mounts if they can't find better mounts.
Wu Zhen and the other demons saw that although the Demon Lord Gui Xi spoke calmly, the fearsome blazing blood flames were revealed from the depths of his demon eyes, so he stood aside silently without saying anything.
Although Demon Lord Guixi arrived at Dajin Mountain more than a year ago to lead the Xuanyin Valley Demon Soldiers and the remnants of Tiancheng Mountain in the battle against the Zibai Mountain defense line, apart from the soldiers and horses organized by the seven sects' coalition forces earlier at the eastern foot of Zibai Mountain, Apart from small-scale contact, this was his first time fighting against the ruthless direct soldiers of Liuyang Palace, Ma Longxiang Army.
Being familiar with the terrain, even before the Demon Tribe's winter offensive, Chen Hai ordered the generals in the Guowei Mansion and the military students in the Tianying Academy to draw up thousands of tactical plans for these terrains. Reserve is the greatest advantage of Longxiang Army.
The endurance of the lizard dragon is also much stronger than that of the Blood Demon Cunning Beast, the Blue-toothed Mastiff Wolf, etc. The only disadvantage is that its huge and city-car-like body makes its movements slow. In the ice and snow, it is almost as long as walking a thousand miles a day. It was the limit, but it could barely hold Long Xiangjun down.
Over the years, the demons fighting on the northern front have suffered too much at the hands of Chen Hai. Even Demon Lord Yu'an's demonic body was unfortunately broken into the hands of Demon Lord Guixi. With these words, what can the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen say
Demon Lord Gui Xi just glanced at the Great Demon Lord Wu Zhen and said to the demons: "All the demon cavalry and winged demons of the army are gathering on the west road to follow my orders. The other armies originally planned to divide their forces to sweep the north and south..."
