In the Cliff Mountains, in front of the Tianmen Pass, after experiencing a brutal and fierce battle during the day, the entire wasteland seemed to be filled with the strong smell of blood, and the pungent smell made people sick.
But as members who had experienced that cruel war, the soldiers of the Sirius Army and the Tang Army were already familiar with the rich smell of blood. They were hungry and ate food in this wasteland full of the smell of blood and dead souls, without being affected by it at all. Influence.
In the Datang camp, the torches were brightly lit, illuminating the entire camp, leaving no place for people to hide their figures. At the same time, groups of soldiers with a sinister aura constantly patrolled back and forth, keeping tight security to prevent assassins and spies from sneaking into the camp.
At the same time, soldiers of the Tang Dynasty stood guard on the sentry towers built on the outer towers all night long, keeping sharp eyes on the Sirius army on the opposite side to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the darkness to attack at night.
In the main tent, many soldiers were discussing the war. The commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty was wearing a set of silver-white battle armor, with a red dragon engraved on it, like a living creature.
The commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty was about twenty years old, with a handsome face. He originally had an elegant and gentle temperament, but under his ferocious battle armor, there was a trace of iron-blooded killing intent. He was the fifth prince of the Tang Dynasty, Ji Chen!
A year ago, three strong men from the Qiu family, Xuegu, and Yungu made a fuss in the imperial city, forcing the Tang royal family to hand over the keys to the ancient battlefield ruins. However, they were scared off by the Tang royal family's ancestors and their powerful heritage. The reason was the rumor that the Five Prince Ji Chen received a rectangular stone slab.
But after that incident, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty summoned Ji Chen and removed the rectangular stone slab from his body. At the same time, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty knew that this stone slab was the source of trouble. Although the Tang royal family was powerful, it was not even a first-rate force in the entire Xuanyu. It barely counts.
The so-called ordinary man is not guilty of his crime. Today, only the Qiu family and three other forces that are almost as powerful as the Tang royal family have come. In the future, stronger forces will come to the Tang imperial city. At that time, the Ji family of the royal family will be in danger.
Therefore, after some ideological struggle and secret talks with his ancestors, the Tang Emperor could only reluctantly donate the rectangular stone slab to the Xinghe Sect, the backer of the Tang Dynasty.
And all the things that happened in the Xuan Territory later were just as expected by Emperor Tang. When the other seven forces from the Zhenwu Continent came to the Xuan Territory, those forces that had rectangular stone slabs but were not top-notch in strength were wiped out one after another. Even the six top forces were wiped out. The Red Blood Sect is no exception!
After several months of fear and fear, it was discovered that after the powerful forces from other regions were fighting to carve up the rectangular stone slab, they stopped causing a bloody storm and instead fell silent, as if waiting for something.
For a time, the situation in the entire Xuanyu became peaceful and strange, and the atmosphere became more and more oppressive.
But the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the reactions of the major forces, as long as the Tang royal family did not provoke them, those forces would not come to wipe out the Tang royal family for no reason. After all, the major forces were paying attention. They are all on the ruins of the ancient battlefield, waiting for their emergence.
But at this time, a news spread in the Imperial City of the Tang Dynasty: The Northern King of Yanyun Town received the support of a certain powerful force and wanted to rebel, overthrow the rule of the Ji family of the Tang royal family, and establish a new dynasty!
As soon as this news came out, Emperor Tang was suddenly shocked. He must know that King Zhenbei had been guarding Yanyun in the north of the Tang Dynasty decades ago to resist the invasion of the Sirius Kingdom.
His reputation was known to everyone in the Tang Dynasty. Even the people in the eighteen counties of Yanyun only knew the King of Zhenbei but not the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
If the King of Zhenbei really rebels, with the Yanyun Iron Cavalry, which is the most powerful army in the Tang Dynasty, and the 200,000 Yanyun army, which is completely controlled by the King of Zhenbei and is guarding Tianmen Pass, it is really possible to successfully overthrow the Tang Dynasty. .
The emperor was most suspicious, and now Xuanyu was in a strange situation. Countless powerful forces were spread all over the place, and King Zhenbei had great achievements. Therefore, regardless of whether the news that King Zhenbei was going to launch an army to rebel was true or false, Emperor Tang was determined. To eradicate it.
After a series of plots, the king of Zhenbei, Jun Wentian, was deceived by the Tang Emperor into traveling to the Imperial City of the Tang Dynasty, and the former was placed under house arrest.
As for why Zhenbei Wang Jun Wentian was not killed, firstly, the Tang Emperor missed his old love and could not bear to kill him. After all, the two were old friends when they were young and had traveled to the Xuanyu together;
The second is that they are afraid that the three thousand Yanyun cavalry and the two hundred thousand Yanyun army will rebel in anger when they hear that King Zhenbei has been killed. By then, the Tang Dynasty will surely suffer heavy losses.
Instead, they just put King Zhenbei under house arrest. Although the Yanyun soldiers were dissatisfied, they would not rebel. Instead, Emperor Tang could slowly remove King Zhenbei's influence in Yanyun and regain control in his hands.
At this time, the neighbors of the Tang Dynasty were overjoyed when they found out that their mortal enemy Jun Wentian was under house arrest in the Imperial City of the Tang Dynasty. After confirming that the news was correct, Lord Tianlang resolutely sent millions of troops to attack the rich Tang Dynasty and plunder the fertile soil.
At this time, in order to deal with this situation, the fifth prince Ji Chen, who was ordered by the Tang Emperor to stay in the imperial city for several months, became the commander-in-chief to resist the invasion of the Sirius Kingdom. After all, among the princes, Ji Chen was the most powerful and resourceful. Ranked first.
Ji Chen was wearing a silver-white battle armor and was sitting in the main tent. He looked at everyone present and said, "Generals, do you have any strategies to retreat from the enemy?"
I saw a middle-aged general wearing blood-red armor walking out from the left below, with a strong aura of evil and hostility intertwined on his body, as if he had just stepped out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The middle-aged general clasped his fists in salute and said loudly: "Commander, tomorrow our Yanyun army is willing to be the vanguard and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"
"Haha, defeated the enemy army in one fell swoop? In today's battle, the Yanyun army suffered countless casualties, not much less than the Tianlang army. I thought the Yanyun army was rumored to be one against ten. It seems that it is just like this. The rumors are not true. Believe it." A young general on the right sneered.
As soon as he finished speaking, the general of the Yanyun lineage on the left side of the main tent suddenly became furious and glared angrily, "Humph, how can you wastes who have not fought in more than ten years have the qualifications to be compared with my Yanyun army!"
In order to resist the millions of troops from the Sirius Kingdom this time, the Tang Emperor mobilized 500,000 troops from other parts of the Tang Dynasty and 200,000 Yanyun troops to guard Tianmen Pass.
Unlike the Yanyun army that has been guarding Tianmen Pass for decades and resisting the ferocious Sirius army in the north, these troops who came to support were in a stable environment and had no experience in battlefield combat. Many soldiers were timid before they even started fighting. , the combat power was instantly weakened by two or three levels.
In the daytime battle, this army was twice as large as Yanyun's army, and it was not even as many enemy troops as the former, so Yanyun's generals regarded them as waste.
The counterattack by Yan Yun generals instantly sparked a war. The two sides began to quarrel constantly, pointing at each other's noses and cursing, and they almost started a full-scale martial arts show.
