Who would have thought that after the situation in Mozhang Ridge was stabilized, there would be such a big mistake in Tashan
Yuan Zhou sighed sadly and said: "The situation will be completely corrupted. At this time, I only hope that the Supreme Heavenly Lord can delay in Dayan Mountain for a while, but the three sects need to move westward immediately at this time, and I am afraid it will be too late!"
Such a strategy has been strictly implemented over the years. Even if they continue to organize small-scale counterattacks, it is to better defend the defense line. They have never thought of moving all the main troops out of the Tashan defense line to organize a large battle.
The Great Demon Lord of Black Flame, who has been contending with Supreme Heavenly Lord Qin Shimin in Dayan Mountain, led more than 50 Demon Lords, more than 1,000 Demon Lords, and more than 3,000 Demon Generals to raid into the Immortal Killing Fortress...
Sha Tianhe, Huang Zhan, Yang Yin and others did not expect that Chen Haizhen would fulfill the great ambition he made at Yanguan Tower half a year ago. However, they had been guarding the Yantai Pass defense line for so many years, and they were suddenly asked to abandon Yantai Pass. Perhaps they were even more reluctant to run for their lives. Facing Chen Hai's sharp eyes, they all looked back calmly...
When the Yue Kingdom came to Wanghaicheng to provide a large amount of supplies to the northwest region, Ji Jiangye secretly negotiated with the Yue Kingdom about the sect's relocation. Only he, Yuan Zhou and Qin Hushan knew about this matter. Jiang Jin had also have no idea.
Even if Zhou Wanqing leads tens of thousands of Zhou's elites to garrison Quyan Valley and can rush over to join the battle, even if Chen Hai can contact Yanzhou and mobilize more than a million elite soldiers and horses with basic cultivation levels in the middle and late stages of Tongxuan Realm to attack the blood from the Black Mountain Demon Abyss. In Yunhuangdi, when the three sects decided to withdraw to the west, the demon clan could still mobilize as many as five million demon soldiers in the north of Mozhang Ridge, and more than thirty demon kings were stationed. By then, even half of the troops would be mobilized. Can it crush the 800,000 to 900,000 soldiers and horses in Beiling Town
"Nonsense!" Huan Rong, the ancestor of the Huan clan, yelled angrily. How could he let the younger generation of the Huan clan, who had the most hope of entering the heavenly realm, die in vain
Chen Hai summoned the generals of Beiling Town to discuss matters at Lingque Peak. At about the same time, they received news from Qin Hushan about the incident at the Tashan Defense Line, and the news they received was more detailed than Chen Hai's - after all After Yu Cang and the others escaped, Chen Hai had no way to arrange his informants to the core of the Tashan garrison.
However, when Ji Jiangye looked towards the main hall, the expressions of the generals flickered, but no one took the initiative to stand up and ask for battle, and he sighed in his heart.
Since the outbreak of the demonic catastrophe, the three sects have also secretly made various plans. Once the situation on the Eastern Front is completely eroded, the three sects will move to the Hengduan Mountains at the junction of Chongyue and Vietnam to preserve the sect's fire.
The three countries of Chong, Yue, and Tiannan stand side by side on this Haidong continent. Although there are frictions from time to time, they are far from harmonious. Even Ji Jiangye's Taoist companion and Ji Chengyun's biological mother died inexplicably on the border between Chongyue and Yue. In the 100,000 Hengduan Mountains between the two countries, but when the disaster is irreversible, retain more effective forces to withdraw into the Yue Kingdom, or rely on the support of the Yue Kingdom to withdraw into the 100,000 Hengduan Mountains at the junction of the two countries, and continue to be difficult and outstanding. The war against demons is the most helpless and most realistic need of the three sects.
What Jiang Jin said was what everyone was most worried about, and they all looked at Chen Hai.
"Huan Wen has something to ask of me. Please ask the headmaster Si Yun." Huan Wen stood in front of the hall and said.
At this time, Ji Jiangye could no longer take care of stopping Ji Chengyun and Huan Wen from defecting to Beiling Town. Such changes in the demon soldiers in the northeast of Tiebei Ridge showed that the four major demon palaces were aware of the changes in the situation on Tashan. The elite winged demons moved in full force at this moment, spreading out and infiltrating to the south. At this time, they could only infiltrate to the south of Mozhang Ridge and gather, and then try their best to delay the tens of millions of troops from the three sects to Hengduan Mountain and Yue. The pace of the country’s retreat!
With such a long buffer time, and with the help of huge floating boats, wind-flame airships, and a large number of wheeled transport vehicles, the three sects could still do it if they wanted to evacuate tens of millions of troops to the Yue Kingdom, but four to five billion ordinary people It is simply impossible to retreat in such a short period of time.
Among the many plans, a more critical step was to move the Golden Light Immortal Formation that was originally deployed at the main peak of Juetian Ridge and the entire Chinese army tent to the Immortal Killing Fortress. The accident happened when nearly twenty True Lords of Heaven were escorting them. The Golden Light Trapping Immortal Formation had just been transferred to the Immortal Killing Fortress, but it had not yet been deployed.
"I first arrived at Yantai Pass and learned that Chen Hai was at Lingque Peak. When I arrived at Lingque Peak, Chen Hai had already gone to Yunmen Fortress. I then chased to Yunmen Fortress and saw Chen Hai. It took me so long to come back." Huan Wen saluted Ji Jiangye and Yuan Zhou and explained why he delayed returning to Dongqiaoguan until dawn.
Jiang Han, Jiang Mingchuan and others looked pale and looked at Jiang Jin in confusion. This was completely different from what Chen Hai had said when he persuaded them to move to Yantaiguan to retreat to the Fusang Sea once the situation worsened!
Who would have thought that there would be such a big leak in the Tashan defense line at this time.
The worst expected situation has appeared, but Chen Hai calmed down. His eyes, which seemed to contain two rays of lightning, swept across the crowd and said: "The collapse of the Tashan defense line is a foregone conclusion. The erosion of the Eastern Front battlefield is imminent. Now The survival of the human race in Haidong is in critical condition. The situation in Haidong may succeed or fail. Whether hundreds of billions of human race can escape from this catastrophic disaster is beyond my control. I only have this blood to shed on these mountains and rivers. I hope I can encourage the generals. The three sects may choose to retreat, but I have no shame in leaving the billions of mortals behind me to be slaughtered and devoured by the demons. When the three sects decide to retreat, I will lead my troops out of the pass and march north. , in the decisive battle with the demon soldiers in the north, will the generals be willing to die together with Chen Hai?"
"The three sects must have people who know that there is a dead end and go to die, so that the morale of the army will not collapse immediately!" Huan Wen insisted.
Although the Wantao River is wide and dangerous, there are not enough and strong enough troops to defend it. In front of the surging demon soldiers, there is no natural danger at all; and after the demon army broke through the Tashan defense line, it severely damaged Yongjing. The soldiers and horses in Dayan Mountain are very likely to go around from the southern foot of Shiwei Mountain to the jurisdiction of the General Mansion of Beitingzhu State, and attack all the way eastward from the western foot of Shiwei Mountain, threatening the east and south of the Northwest Territory.
"What did Chen Hai say? Are you willing to evacuate to Hengduan Mountain with us?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"Huan Wen has no shame and abandons hundreds of millions of ordinary people. Please ask Xu Huan Wen, the commander-in-chief, to die in front of Yantai Pass side by side with the generals of Beiling Town." Huan Wen said.
He believed that even if the demons were not aware of the changes in Tashan's situation at this time, it would not take too long, and the demons to the north of Mozhang Ridge would never sit idly by and watch them take over all the disciples with cultivation foundations and all the cultivation resources in the northwest region. , it would be easy to retreat westward to the Hengduan Mountains.
Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts felt as if they were falling into an ice cave. They knew in their hearts that the collapse of Tashan's defense line was almost a foregone conclusion.
Although Beiling Town and the Jiang family were labeled as rebellious by Yongjing, but Yongjing is about to fall, will Ji Jiangye and Yuan Zhou continue to oppose Beiling Town and the Jiang family after taking the wrong medicine
However, if the Tiancheng Mountain Demon Clan disperses and infiltrates the 70,000 to 80,000 elite winged demons they have gathered over the years to the south of Mozhang Ridge, the winged demons' maneuvering speed will be much faster and more durable than that of the Spirit Piercing Realm Sword Cultivator. Who would be willing to deploy elite warriors who are above the Mingqiao realm to compete with the Winged Demon
After many things were arranged, Ji Jiangye did not dare to stop to regulate his breath and rest his mind. He still took his daughter Ji Chengyun to inspect the military fortress in the north to monitor the movements of the demons.
If the three sects choose to retreat to the Shiwan Hengduan Mountains or the Yue Kingdom, Beiling Town will definitely not be able to defend Mozhang Ridge. Should they withdraw to the three islands in the Fusang Sea, or should they retreat with the three sects into the Shiwan Hengduan Mountains or the Yue Kingdom? Perhaps to fulfill the solemn promise made by Chen Hai under the Yanguan City Tower, millions of soldiers and horses were reduced to ashes along with Mo Zhangling
In the past six months, the demon soldiers in the north of Tashan have also been declining. Not only the offensive has weakened, but also in the contact battles on the defensive line, the demon soldiers have lost more and won less. The fear of the demons has also weakened day by day. After Fu Siyuan and Wu Zhi While Dong objected to hastily organizing a general war, there were many generals in the army who wanted to establish military exploits.
Ji Jiangye couldn't even say anything to stop him at this time. Yuan Zhou and others all turned their attention to him. Could it be that he could say that other families' children could die in order to boost their final morale, but his Ji Jiangye's daughter could not.
Ji Jiangye's old face turned red. He wanted to stop it but couldn't. At this time, Lei Zhen, the chief sentry officer of the Tiebei Ridge garrison who was responsible for scouting the enemy's situation, flew into the hall with his sword and reported: "To the northeast of Tiebei Ridge, the demons are deployed in the east. Almost all the elite Winged Demons of the Wings are on the move at this time, and they seem to be intending to disperse through the black-haired desert to the east and go around to the south!"
The Immortal Killing Fortress fell. Sixteen Heavenly True Lords, 5,000 elites of the Divine Bird Heavenly Army, 100,000 elite defenders of the Immortal Killing Fortress, and more than 3,000 elite guards of the Heavenly True Lords can be said to be the strongest defense line in the entire Tashan Mountains. An elite combat force suffered a devastating blow. The Golden Light Trap Immortal Formation, which consisted of 21 sets of primary Taoist weapons and was the strongest in the entire Tashan defense line, fell into the hands of the demons. This actually meant that the Tashan defense line had lost its power. collapse.
"Half a year ago, Chen Hai made a grand ambition on the Yanguan Tower. He wanted to live and die with Yantaiguan. I'm afraid Beiling Town will not withdraw easily!" Huan Wen said sitting at the bottom.
Once the Tashan defense line collapses and Yongjing's troops entering Dayan Mountain suffer heavy losses, what choice will the three heavenly kings headed by Ji Jiangye and Yuan Zhou make
Fu Siyuan, Qin Hushan and others, for the sake of safety, naturally strongly opposed it. After all, according to the strategy Jiang Yin and Lie Wang Qin Ran jointly formulated in the past, the Tashan defense line only needs to block the large number of demon soldiers from going south, allowing Yongjing to gather elite soldiers from all regions to strengthen the army. General, the final victory can be established by annihilating the demon clan that enters the Great Plains of Zhongzhou.
Huan Wen flew to Xiling with his sword. After Ji Jiangye and Yuan Zhou discussed the details of the retreat, they took out the golden sword talisman and sent messages to their respective mountain gates, asking the guardian elders who stayed behind at the mountain gates to immediately arrange for a westward retreat according to the previously formulated plan. thing.
"I'll go to Yantai Pass and ask Chen Hai and Jiang Jin to retreat into Hengduan Mountain with us!" Ji Jiangye stood tall and said to Yuan Zhou.
Ji Chengyun wanted to argue. Ji Jiangye waved his hand and said, "Huan Wen is back, don't say anything anymore."
As for the Yue Kingdom, if they want to organize a stronger demon control force, they will inevitably send people to persuade the three sects to retreat to the Shiwan Hengduan Mountains or directly to the Yue Kingdom.
"Headmaster has many affairs, let Huan Wen go to Yantaiguan to meet Chen Hai." Huan Wen said.
"Say it." Ji Jiangye hesitated whether to go to see Chen Hai and Jiang Jin in person again, and signaled Huan Wen to continue.
Jiang Jin was once a core member of the Three Sects and knew that the Three Sects had made various plans to prevent the situation from collapsing. One of the options was to abandon the Northwest Territory and retreat the most elite combat forces of the Three Sects to the Yue Kingdom in the west to save the last resort. of vitality.
"..." Ji Jiangye smiled bitterly. He felt that Huan Wen was too naive to say this.
The top priority is that Ji Jiangye wants to win over Beiling Town to temporarily stabilize the morale of the army. Don't act rashly. When the time comes, he will retreat to the Hengduan Mountains with them. He is afraid that Beiling Town and the Jiang family will be in chaos after learning about the collapse of the Tashan defense line. , in that case, the situation in the northwest region will collapse in an instant, and there will be no need to think about giving up the ordinary people and retreating to the Hengduan Mountains in a step-by-step manner.
…
Against this background, the Tashan garrison formulated a plan to send troops from the Immortal Killing Fortress to engage in a great battle with the demons.
"No, my daughter will stay with her father until the end." Ji Chengyun said firmly.
Ji Jiangye, Yuan Zhou and others looked at each other, but they didn't expect Chen Hai to respond to them like this!
In his opinion, Chen Hai made a great wish to protect the people of the world, but knowing that he couldn't do it, he still stayed and died. Is this the act of a wise man
Huan Rong, the ancestor of the Huan family, saw that Huan Wen was determined and turned away with a long sigh. He knew that Huan Wen could not change his mind and could not bear to leave.
"Senior brother, I will go to Yantaiguan with you." Ji Chengyun said suddenly.
Considering that after the erosion of the battlefield on the Eastern Front, there is still two or three years of buffer time in the Northwest Territory. They still need to continue to hold on to the Mozhang Ridge defense line in order to protect the old, weak, sick and children within the sect and core sects, as well as a large number of sects. The sect's books, materials, equipment from the Refining Institute, large and small magic weapon arrays, as well as the Pingmashan defense line and the five to six million second-line troops further south retreated to the Hengduan Mountains in advance.
After a while, Jiang Jin said with difficulty: "Ji Jiangye and the others will get the news soon. How will they make a decision?"
Above the main hall, Ji Jiangye looked at Yuan Zhou and others and almost wanted to cry.
In the past, even if the Tiancheng Mountain Demon Clan sent the Winged Demons to spread out and infiltrate to the south before gathering, the maximum scale would only be three to five thousand. At this time, the three sect organizations can assemble elite troops that are faster and more mobile than the Winged Demons and intercept them on the inside. , fighting guerrilla warfare against these winged demons is still very advantageous.
No one is stupid, and everyone knows in their heart that it is impossible for the last part of the troops to withdraw. The five to six million demon soldiers in the north are not decorations!
"Chen Hai said that he made a great wish in front of Yanguan City, and he would never abandon hundreds of millions of ordinary people to be slaughtered and devoured by the demon clan. No matter whether our three sects withdraw or not, he can only die in front of Yantai Pass to fulfill his wish. Original intention!" Huan Wen said.
At this time, Ji Jiangye was even more worried that Chen Hai would eventually choose to withdraw into the Fuso Sea. If this were to happen, Ji Jiangye could not force it. He only hoped that everyone could make a mutual agreement to stand in front of the Demon Mountain Ridge for another year, which would also facilitate the Demon Mountain Ridge. The millions of Jiang clan members in the hinterland can evacuate first.
However, Hatoyama He is not good at leading troops, but he is good at fighting people. In the past six months, his focus has been to eliminate Jiang Yin's remnants in the army. Not only did the northwest border army, which had the strongest combat power and the strongest cohesion, be excluded from the central defense area, In addition, many generals who were good friends with Jiang Yin and Yu Cang were also kicked to the Chicheng and other fortresses at the western end of the Tashan defense line. Many generals from other Zhu Kingdom generals who were good friends with Jiang Yin and Yu Cang were also hit to varying degrees. There were even many people who were killed because of small mistakes. He was punished even more severely, which made everyone in the army feel insecure. On the one hand, they hoped to break away from Jiang Yin, but on the other hand, they did not dare to insist on their opinions.
"I will lead six floating warships to intercept these winged demons!" Seeing that no one took the initiative to fight, Yuan Zhou finally stood up and said. Before the war, the three sects had a total of twenty-nine floating warships. Initially, nine floating warships were taken away to Tashan by Jiang Yin and Qin Hushan. Before the Tashan defense line collapsed, only two residual ships were left; while in the northwest After years of wars of attrition in the domain, only seven remaining warships were left out of the twenty, and one of them was the Tianxuan Thunder Ship in Chen Hai's hands!
According to the previous response strategy, this side should organize elite sword cultivators, elite bird warriors, and floating battleships at all costs to rush to the gathering point of the winged demons to resolutely intercept them.
Quietly patrolling the demon clan in the north, there was no movement for the time being. In the middle of the night, Ji Jiangye took his daughter Ji Chengyun back to Dongqiao Pass. When he returned to the main hall, he learned that Huan Wen had not returned from Yantai Pass. Ji Jiangye asked his daughter to follow him to the side hall. , Chuan Yin said: "You go back to your residence to pack up, and then go to Hengduan Mountain tomorrow..."
Although the weather has returned to spring, Ji Jiangye, Yuan Zhou and others who are sitting in Dongqiaoguan at this time cannot feel the warmth at all deep in their hearts.
Just a few days ago, I received a report from Di saying that the Dayan Mountain offensive was going smoothly. Supreme Heavenly Lord Qin Shimin had led the main force of the 4.5 million demon-conquering army on the eastern front into the depths of the middle foot of Dayan Mountain. As long as they retreated to Dayan Mountain, With more than three million Rakshasa demon soldiers in the hinterland wiped out, the demonic calamity of the Dachong Empire will finally turn around.
The only person who can die is you.
Perhaps it takes someone like Huan Wen to boost morale in such a bleak and tragic situation and prevent the military's morale from suddenly collapsing.
He was worried that the demon clan headed by the four major demon temples in Tiancheng Mountain in the north of Mozhang Ridge was also brewing a big offensive at this time. People were panicking at this time, and many generals could not see how they could defend Mozhang Ridge. The hope of holding on to the Northwest Territory, people's thoughts are gone, and the morale between each other is rising and falling. If a war breaks out next, are you sure that they will hold on to it as before and not collapse
The situation on the entire Eastern Front battlefield is about to deteriorate.
Ji Jiangye pondered for a while and nodded. Before Chen Hai became famous and before Beiling Town became a powerful force, Huan Wen had a good relationship with Jiang He and Jiang Yuwei. He also jointly led Beiling with Jiang He before Beiling Town became a powerful force. Sai, thinking that it would be more appropriate for him to be responsible for contacting Beiling Town than for the Heavenly Lord to take action.
The soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Zhuguo General Mansion are already weak. In recent years, they have to defend against the demons from the north and south, and they have to divide their troops to reinforce the Tashan defense line, which has consumed a lot of strength. After these years of consumption, the three sects in the northwest region have Although the situation has improved slightly in the past two years, there is absolutely no ability to fight on two fronts.
At this time, Juetian Ridge and Dingtao Pass had not yet fallen to the demon clan, but the demon clan gathered nearly two million demon soldiers in the north of the Immortal Killing Fortress, passing through the Immortal Killing Fortress like a tide. Under the leadership of the Demon Lord, they moved to Juetian Ridge and Dingtao Pass to cover it. Ji Jiangye and Yuan Zhou didn't think there was a chance that the Tashan defense line would not collapse!
Taishang Tianzun Qin Shimin led his troops into the depths of Dayan Mountain. Jiu Shan and Zaitian Ridge also wanted to organize a major battle against the demon soldiers gathered in the north of Tashan. This echoed the offensive launched by Taishang Tianzun Qin Shimin in Dayan Mountain.
Ji Chengyun was so worried that she followed her father back to the main hall. After half a stick of incense, she saw Huan Wen returning with his sword. At this time, Yuan Zhou also rushed over from outside, wanting to know that Huan Wen had gone to see Chen Hai and Jiang How was the conversation with Jin
There are only twenty-seven heavenly kings in the entire Tashan defense line. In addition to Qinhushan and Wuzhidong guarding Chicheng and other fortresses on the west wing, and the three heavenly realm guards on the east wing, the other twenty-two heavenly kings All the defenders met the enemy at the Immortal Killing Fortress. In the end, only six heavenly kings including Fu Siyuan, Jiu Shanhe and others fought their way out of the siege under the desperate escort of the Divine Bird Heavenly Army.
Although Tashan is now collapsed, it is still too far away from the Northwest Territory. Qin Shimin cannot capture it without hesitation. There is also General Beiting Zhuguo as a buffer in the middle. It will take two or three years for the war to completely spread to the hinterland of the Northwest Territory. Even longer buffer times.
Ji Jiangye was speechless. What Huan Wen said was actually what he was most worried about. Although after the war on the Eastern Front deteriorated, the demonic soldiers on the Eastern Front would sweep over in two or three years, but there was no glimmer of hope at all. , can the defenders of Mo Zhangling really hold on for more than a year, and the children and soldiers who protect the hinterland should withdraw first
"Do you think it will be easy for those who go to Hengduan Mountain first at this time? It is necessary to complete the retreat of tens of millions of children within two years, and the depths of the Hengduan Mountains can accommodate tens of millions of children to garrison in just two years. Do you think It's an easy thing. Do you think it can be done by just sending three or five people there?" Ji Jiangye lectured with a straight face, "If you stay, you won't be able to stick with me until the end. As the leader of a sect, I will still need to command Wanxian Mountain in the future. When the time comes, I will go to Hengduan Mountain first. You are just one step ahead of me - don’t be petty with me at this time."
