The two to three million demon soldiers on the southern front withdrew from Dongting Mountain and mainly stayed in this basin in the early stage. After the main force of the Tiannan Army moved to the northern foot of Shouyang Mountain and blocked the north exit of the Rift Valley, the southern demon soldiers The main force also shifted its focus to the north and gathered near the north entrance of Split Sky Gorge.
Chen Hai also noticed that deep in Shouyang Mountain, several large mountain lakes were formed after consecutive days of heavy rain.
This resulted in dozens of demon soldiers and generals being able to easily break up and disrupt the entire array of Tiannan Army generals. It also caused the Tianji chariots to fail to play their role and were exposed to dozens of enemies. In the close siege of dozens or even dozens of demon soldiers and generals.
The strange thing is that the terrain around Shouyang Mountain is flat, which is the most common plain terrain in southern Zhongzhou. However, there are no large lakes in southern Zhongzhou where precipitation is abundant.
The demon soldiers and demon generals rushed over like a tidal wave, attacking the innermost first line of defense into chaos. However, the soldiers and horses of the Tiannan Army could mobilize uninterruptedly among the three lines of defense.
Even though the underground rock formations of Shouyang Mountain are fragmented, and the gaps in the rock formations form an intricate underground river system, which is conducive to drainage and flood discharge, but looking at the local chronicles near Shouyang Mountain, such heavy rains in the rainy season in May and June will not last long in the Beilu Plain area. During this period, a series of small and medium-sized lakes will also be formed.
To be honest, if it weren't for the Tiannan Army's use of Qinglian flame cannons to interrupt the rhythm of the demon clan's troop dispatches from time to time, and if it weren't for the Tiannan Army's Tianji chariots, tens of thousands of which were modified from demon-slaying chariots, in the Two to three hundred four-pillar demon-slaying formations can be formed on the battlefield to prevent the battlefield from falling into complete chaos. Judging from the current situation, even if the Tiannan Army has twice the superior strength, Chen Hai does not see that they have half a chance of winning.
In this case, the Demon General and the Demon Lord can bring the power of the blood evil of the protective formation to its fullest.
On the chaotic battlefield, the powerful fighting power of the demon soldiers and demon generals was fully unleashed. Without enough and strong enough defensive formations, the simple fortifications built by the Tiannan Army in just ten days were not worth the effort. Once the demon soldiers and demon generals are allowed to enter the formation, it will be very difficult for the ordinary soldiers of the Tiannan Army to resist the swords and halberds of the demon soldiers that are two or three times their size, and the casualties will naturally be extremely heavy.
The main force of the Tiannan Army, more than four million soldiers and horses, gathered at the northern foot of Shouyang Mountain and set up camps and forts in a narrow area of two hundred miles on the north side of the Split Sky Gorge. Looking at the densely packed encampments covering the land, It is unimaginably spectacular.
Before the demonic tribulation broke out, the area near Shouyang Mountain was also bustling with people.
In the Battle of Jingshan, although the Beiling Army mobilized more than five million soldiers and horses, they mainly built forts and fortifications along the three thousand miles of Jingshan.
The north entrance of the Split Sky Gorge is only three to four thousand paces wide, but no matter how stupid the demons are, they cannot let the Tiannan Army completely block such a narrow opening, so that more than two million elite soldiers and horses were suffocated to death. In Shouyang Mountain.
The northern foot of Shouyang Mountain is actually a battlefield designed by the spirit of the Black Flame Old Demon.
And because the underground rock formations around Shouyang Mountain are fragmented, even if there is abundant rain, it is difficult to store water into a lake. The rainwater drains out from the intricate underground rivers formed by the gaps in the underground rock formations, making it an extremely rare dry zone in southern Zhongzhou; Even during heavy rains in summer and autumn, no decent rivers are formed.
Most of the time, Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er could only sneak in the buffer area or more peripheral areas where the two sides were in contact, and observe the deployment of troops and horses on both sides at close range.
The Tiannan Army's high-end combat power is definitely no less than that of the demons, but in addition to the large-scale sword repair camp and the talisman repair camp hidden behind the formations of one's own generals, there are magical treasures, spiritual swords, and countless Taoist talismans. In addition to killing demons from a distance, the elite military attachés and elite generals who led the troops mostly drove their ordinary soldiers to fight against the demon soldiers and demon generals, but they rarely dared to fight head-on bravely.
Generals Zheng Chan, Tuoba Xiong and other generals, on the one hand, withdrew the defeated soldiers on the first line of defense to the rear for reorganization, and on the other hand, they continued to organize the troops and horses on the second and third lines of defense, with thousands of troops Teams or even teams of ten thousand people form units, and they enter the battlefield surrounded by Tianji chariots.
Of course, although the terrain of these mountains and lakes is slightly higher, they are two to three hundred miles away from the Tiannan Army's garrison at the northern foot, and are blocked by more than a dozen mountains. No one would think that the demons would take advantage of these mountains and lakes. Cause flash floods to attack the Tiannan Army's camp.
In fact, after the Shixian Peak, Xihuang Valley and other important places in the western foothills fell one after another, the demon clan took the lead in occupying the mountains on both sides of the north entrance of the Split Sky Gorge, and spread out two to three million demon soldiers and generals like a black frenzy. On the mountains on both sides, they waited for the right opportunity to rush down to the plain area to the north, destroying the entire Tiannan Army below.
In addition to the main force of the southern line of demon soldiers, Black Flame Demon Lord, who exists in the upper three realms of heavenly demons, Tiannan Army Zheng Chan, Tuoba Xiong and others also have powerful cultivation levels at the peak of the third realm of heavenly realms. Chen Hai and Ning Chan No matter how good he is at being invisible, he would not dare to easily enter the central area controlled by the Southern Front Demon Soldiers or Tiannan Army.
The senior generals of the Tiannan Army still regard ordinary soldiers as consumables. Not many people think that the killing power condensed by the killing will of thousands of generals can actually be used by them to fight against powerful demons. The weapon of generals and demon lords.
The demon soldiers would not give the Tiannan Army a chance to use the Qinglian Concentrated Flame Cannon to cover and bombard them. At the beginning of the decisive battle, dozens of demon soldiers used simple but effective defensive weapons to attack from the north entrance of the Split Sky Gorge and the two flanks. The mountain position, like a tide, directly hit the defensive position of the Tiannan Army in front of them, forcing the generals of the Tianji Army to engage in a chaotic and chaotic battle between the enemy and ourselves before the Tianji war machines could fully exert their power.
Since there were one demon army each in the southern part of Tengwang Mountain and at the western foot of Yandang, and the Tiannan Army had already prepared for a decisive battle with the southern army in early May, Liu Fen and Qin Ran had no time to send troops and rush to the front line. Participated in the battle near Yangshan.
Shouyang Mountain stretches five to six thousand miles from east to west and about a thousand miles from south to south. The overall shape of the mountain is like a giant ship lying horizontally from east to west, standing abruptly on the plains in the southern part of Zhongzhou.
Zheng Chan led the Tiannan Demon Army to fight the southern demon army near Shouyang Mountain. Although he had discussed it with Liu Fen, King Zheng of Yue, and Qin Ran, King Lieutenant, neither Liu Fen nor Qin Ran advocated such a rash advance, and they once thought that Zheng It was impossible for Chan Chan to lead the Tiannan Army to fight against the demons alone. It was not until the Tiannan Army entered the vicinity of Shouyang Mountain with great decisiveness that Liu Fen and Qin Ran realized how strong Zheng Chan's determination and desire to achieve great feats were.
Although there was no water pouring out of the ground on the chaotic battlefield north of Split Sky Gorge yet, he knew what the demons' plan was at this moment.
Just when Chen Hai summoned the scouts from Beiling, led by Fu Shaoqun, Qin Qian and others, who had infiltrated near Shouyang Mountain, they were ready to infiltrate the core area controlled by the demons at all costs, and even use the earth escape technique to drill into the ground. When they went to find out what was going on, a decisive battle broke out between the Tiannan Army and the Southern Demon Soldiers at the mouth of the Split Sky Gorge.
"I didn't expect that the demons would use the underground river to divert water!" Chen Hai stood up and looked at the battlefield to the north of Split Sky Gorge.
After the outbreak of the Demon Tribulation, especially after the collapse of the Tashan defense line, Yongjing was besieged, and most of Zhongzhou became a demon territory. Due to the special terrain, the basin deep in Shouyang Mountain became a place for the demons to raise demons. , and it is also one of the most important transfer stations for the southern line of magic soldiers to connect Yongjing.
The decisive battle was initiated by the demons.
In fact, with the north entrance of Split Sky Gorge as the core, the Tiannan Army formed three circular defense lines that were like iron walls sealing mountains.
However, Zheng Chan, Tuoba Xiong and others, as the most famous generals in Tiannan, cannot deploy more than four million elite troops on one line of defense when preparing for the decisive battle.
Once the war started, no matter what the demons' plans were, even if Chen Hai found out, nothing could be changed. He took Fu Shaoqun, Qin Qian and the others and hid on a cliff more than two hundred miles west of the north entrance of Split Sky Gorge. Go up and watch the evolution of the war.
May is the most normal rainy season in the area near Shouyang Mountain. The heavy rain lasted for ten days before it stopped. At this time, there were still few decent rivers forming outside Shouyang Mountain, which made Chen Hai feel strange.
After a melee situation formed on the contact front, the demons continued to send elite demon soldiers and demon generals to the battlefield, constantly expanding the chaos and spreading to both wings and depth of the Tiannan Army's defense line.
However, as the Tiannan Army continued to gather troops and horses towards the middle road, Chen Hai noticed a few inadvertent vibrations in the depths of Shouyang Mountain. He extended his consciousness deep into Shouyang Mountain and noticed that the water levels of those deep mountains and lakes were at Falling rapidly, his expression was also shocked. He didn't expect the demons to think of using such calculations...
The Battle of Jingshan lasted for more than half a year, and only three to four hundred miles of mountains were razed to the ground. Chen Hai had no chance to enter the legendary Brahma Realm, which no one in the history of the Star Heng Region has been able to enter. Naturally, it is difficult to imagine how terrifying it would be for strong men above the heavenly realm to fight fiercely for days and nights or for months.
Including the first battle at the western foot of Shouyang Mountain, nearly a thousand Qinglian flame bombs were fired, and Zheng Chan, Tuoba Xiong and others were not seen frowning.
Although the Qinglian Flame Cannon is powerful, the Tiannan Army can only rely on it to conquer some key points that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. They are far from luxurious enough to use Qinglian Flame Cannon to annihilate two to three million elite demon soldiers. In Shouyang Mountain.
After Tuoba Xiong led the vanguard to control the front line of Shixian Peak and Xihuang Valley, in late April, the main force of the Tiannan Army gradually took the road from the northwest foot of Shouyang Mountain and gathered on the north side of the Split Sky Gorge of Shouyang Mountain.
The main force of the southern line's demonic troops withdrew to Shouyang Mountain and did not continue to flee north. In fact, they had been thinking of luring the main force of the coalition forces to the northern foot of Shouyang Mountain to contain them.
At this time, there were continuous heavy rains at the northern foot of Shouyang Mountain, temporarily delaying the battle that was about to break out at any time.
This will allow the 60,000 to 70,000 Tianji chariots they have built with great efforts in the past few years to fully exert their power, instead of entering Shouyang Mountain and engaging in bloody battles with the demonic soldiers from mountain to mountain.
Split Sky Gorge is actually a series of canyons of different lengths, forming a large passage across the north and south of Shouyang Mountain. The middle section of the canyon is a basin with relatively open terrain.
The Tiannan Army has been preparing for this battle for more than ten years, and its strength is also strong.
The heavy rain has been falling for days, forming a large mountain lake in the deep mountains. There is no way to directly hit the low-lying land in the north across the mountains. However, the rock formations at the bottom of Shouyang Mountain are broken, forming intricate underground rivers. As long as you are prepared in advance , the demons only need to change the direction of a few key underground rivers, and eventually they can divert the water stored in these mountain lakes to the low-lying area north of the Split Sky Gorge and spurt it out, thus changing the situation of the entire battlefield!
For the ancient people at that time, when encountering such a situation, they might have felt that the sky was about to collapse, right
The Tiannan Army is naturally looking forward to the demon soldiers coming out of Shouyang Mountain and fighting a decisive battle in the plains.
"What's going on?" Ning Chan'er also noticed the slight movement deep in Shouyang Mountain and asked Chen Haidao.
According to the geographical description of Zhongzhou, Shouyang Mountain stretched for 30,000 to 40,000 miles in ancient times. Tengwang Mountain in the north was connected with Shouyang Mountain in ancient times.
Unfortunately, the time that Chen Hai and Jiang Xie got together was too short, and they did not have the opportunity to learn too much about Jiang Xie's fierce battle with the ancient demon god Hei Fan in his previous life.
The Green Lotus Flame Sea's constant impact and burning distorted the terrain at the north entrance of the Split Sky Gorge until it was completely deformed. In the end, the demons could only send out troops from the narrower and steeper valleys on both sides. The scale of the troops was restricted. The Tiannan Army gradually moved in. Determine the advantage on the frontal battlefield.
In the ancient war between gods and demons, except for the core area of Shouyang Mountain, which was protected by the magic circle and was not destroyed, the surrounding mountains were leveled, and even the underground rock formations were shattered, forming a surrounding terrain that was higher than the surrounding lakes. The plains of the area.
