A canal more than a hundred miles north of Jitianqu Lingcheng, the embankment collapsed on a large scale, and a large number of broken river water filled the collapsed embankment with the surging river water and poured into the wilderness on both wings. It was mixed with the corpses of thousands of demon soldiers and generals, causing the earth to become in chaos!

Chen Hai stood on the Thunder Ship, looking at everything below expressionlessly.

At this time, three floating warships including Yuxu, Chongyun, Lingyun rushed over from the south, and were so fast that they seemed to be three long rainbows coming through the sky. Finally, they stopped in front of Lingcheng Mountain, thirty miles away from the Shutian Xuanthunder Ship.

Lingcheng Mountain looks unpretentious, with a radius of more than a hundred miles and a main peak of less than a thousand meters, but it is a rare blessing land in Lingbi County.

The spiritual veins of Lingcheng Mountain were not destroyed by the demons. From a distance, you can see rich spiritual energy gathering between the main peaks and valleys. Three floating battleships were parked on the hillside of the main peak of Lingcheng Mountain. In addition to the formation masters in the battleship and the sword cultivator guards recovered as fast as possible, they were also beneficial to the weapon refiners and craftsmen who fought with the battleships, using the existing conditions to repair the damaged hull as much as possible.

From the hideous cracks on the hulls of the three floating battleships, Yuxu, Chongyun and Lingyun, it can be seen that they had just retreated from the fierce and bloody battlefield and rushed here to meet Chen Hai without taking a break.

Yu Cang, Jiang Pei, Jiang Yuwei, Jiang He, Heng Wen, Ji Chengyun, Fu Shaoqun, Qin Sizi and others flew out of the battleship and flew towards Chen Hai.

Looking at the disarray of river below, Fu Shaoqun said, "The demons are not stupid. At this time, they finally knew that they would send troops to destroy the river channel of Jitianqu."

Although most of the Jitian Canals are excavated and connected by using the foundation of existing natural river channels, there are still a large number of river canals excavated by hand.

The Jitian Canal is more than 10,000 miles long from north to south, and the place where it passes cannot be absolutely guaranteed to be on a horizontal plane. Some artificial canals, in addition to being relatively narrow, have even higher river beds than the ground plane. They rely entirely on embankments to confine the river water in the canals, ensuring smooth traffic between the north and south, but they are also much more fragile.

The demons came back to their senses at this time and divided up a small group of elite demon soldiers and generals to destroy these fragile river embankments. The river water leaked out with the broken ice, and the riverbed above the ground was exposed, which forced the thirty blue whale-class warships heading south from Wuchang City to continue to move south from the Jitianqu River into Wantao River.

However, the Longxiang Army and the Wuchang Guardian surrounded thirty blue whale-class warships and had advanced to Lingbi County, about 7,000 miles from Tianshui City.

The more than four million demon soldiers who crossed the Wantao River to carry out the winter offensive were divided into east and west routes on both sides of the Jitianqu, and they also faced a difficult choice.

Of course, the East and West magic soldiers could head south separately, looking for gaps between Lingzhou and Tianshui and between Tianshui and Hailing, and retreating to the south bank of Wantao River.

However, in response to the possibility of such a choice, Chen Hai completely gave up his efforts to intercept the demon soldiers on the east road, but instead tried his best to transfer all the troops collected from the northern line to the south from the western coastal areas with Fengyan airships. After gathering in Hailing City, he sent troops east along the north bank of the Wantao River to intercept the demon soldiers on the south road to retreat.

For this reason, in Yuanzhou, Xi Tongguang rushed to Hailing City to take charge. At this time, not only Feng Yichen, but also Wei Zhe led ten blue whale-class warships to the water village of Hailing City to break the ice and advance eastward. The three floating warships including Yuxu, Chongyun, and Lingyun were also transferred to the southwest side, and did everything possible to delay the retreat speed of the western demon soldiers' retreat south.

************************

The seven sects belonging to Beiling County and the State had at most more than twenty floating boats. However, after more than ten years of hard fighting against demons, by the second year of Emperor Lie's succession, the only four remaining were the Shi Tian Xuan Lei Shi, Taiyan Yuxu Ling Ship, Chongyun Ling Ship, and Lingyun Treasure Ship.

After the battle of Shattered Star Gorge, the wreckage of Taiyan Yuxu Ling Ship, Chongyun Ling Ship, Lingyun Treasure Ship and the other three floating boats were transported to the factory in Tianying City for repair and renovation.

Eliminating unnecessary decorations is just a luxurious decoration that reflects the supreme authority of the top sects in the world. It also takes two years to completely transform the hull from the traditional semi-covered boat shape to a long spindle that can reduce wind resistance and vortex interference to the weakest, fully covered.

When the Beiling County and State were officially established, Chen Hai consulted with Xi Tongguang, Ji Jiangye and Yuanzhou to discuss and decided to rename the three floating boats to the Yuxu, Chongyun and Lingyun into the Battle Bird Camp to accelerate the air control power of the Beiling Army.

In order to further improve flight speed and load capacity, the three warships, Yuxu, Chongyun and Lingyun, were also equipped with wind flame rushing systems.

Chen Hai had previously considered developing a real aircraft based on the Fengyan power box, but the problem was that the Fengyan power box and related drive control systems cast on Xuanyang Jing iron and the related drive control system were too heavy.

The same powerful wind flame power box drives the chariot to run in the rugged fields, and the thrust-weight ratio is at least ten times worse than pushing the aircraft off the ground.

Before deducing a stronger Tianji ban or finding lightweight materials with strong enough performance and rich reserves, it is unrealistic to build aircraft on a large scale in Xingfeng Domain or Yanzhou.

It is unrealistic to build aircraft on a large scale, but it does not mean that there are only four floating warships in Beiling County and cannot be modified.

The four floating battleships such as the Xuanthunder of the Sky (The Xuanth), the Chongyun, the Lingyun and the Yuxu, are equipped with wind flame jet auxiliary acceleration systems. In order to ensure strength, they must be as light as possible, they can only be cast with extremely precious metals such as Jingxuan Gold.

Each floating warship is equipped with four sets of wind flame jet acceleration systems, which requires 60,000 kilograms of extremely precious metal and iron. It is of high value and is quite a low-quality Taoist weapon. It can be said to be extremely luxurious, but it can increase the speed of each floating warship to more than 20,000 miles a day.

This is already more than most heavenly ranks, and the powerful man in the lower three realms of the heavenly demons can control the wind and control the weapon to fly.

The Yuxu, Chongyun, Lingyun and Shutian were finally renovated, in addition to 800 to 1,000 formation masters and sword cultivators, they were also loaded with a large number of six-bore heavy crossbows and heavy crossbows, which was truly matched with the reputation of "floating warships".

These floating warships and more than 10,000 elite warships were previously deployed on the north side of the Nuchuan River. On the one hand, they restricted the demons from dividing troops northwards, and on the other hand, they accelerated the speed of clearing out the miscellaneous demons that infiltrated the northern part of the Nuchuan River, and minimized the losses of ordinary people as much as possible. However, when the main force of the demon soldiers retreated south, the Yuxu, Chongyun, Lingyun and more than 10,000 elite warships were transferred to Hailing City and Tianshui City as quickly as possible, which disturbed the demons, forcing the western route to gather to retreat south.

However, more than two million demon soldiers and generals west of Jitianqu gathered to retreat south, and drove away a large number of miscellaneous demons. The captured civilians could not increase their speed. In the end, it was very likely that the troops gathered from Hailing to advance east were intercepted on the north bank of the Wantao River, and could not retreat to the south bank of the Wantao River before the river ice thawed.

Of course, the demon clan has another option at this time, so the western demon soldiers find a gap between Tianshui and Lingbi, enter the area east of Jitianqu, and meet with the eastern demon soldiers.

Although the demon soldiers may not be able to cross the river from Lingzhou and Tianshui to the south bank of Wantao River after such delays, they can go southeast, bypass Lingzhou City on the north bank of Wantao River, and retreat from the low-ridge area on the southern foot of Zibai Mountain to Wuhou Ridge to the east.

Although Chen Hai left 2.5 million defenders in Lingzhou-Danxia Du and Taihua Mountain south of Danxia Du, the demons left 5 million soldiers in Wuhou Ridge east of Lingzhou and Yinhun Ridge south of Taihua Mountain.

As long as the demon clan fully mobilizes the superior forces in the southeast direction, Chen Hai dares not order the Lingzhou defenders to leave the city to intercept the demon soldiers to retreat eastward.

At this time, Chen Hai summoned the three floating warships of the Yuxu, Chongyun and Lingyun to Lingbi County for rest, just to see what the demons make.

If the demons chose the latter, Chen Hai would give up the thirty blue whale-class iron-armored warships that were trapped in the dry river, and he personally led the Longxiang Army and Wu Chang's defenders to penetrate south directly, intercepting them before the Western magic soldiers tried to cross the Jitianqu to advance eastward.

Yu Cang, Fu Shaoqun, Jiang Pei and the others came to meet with three floating battleships. Chen Hai exchanged a moment of greetings and listened to them patiently about the process of fighting with the demon winged demon elite just now.

The Yuxu, Lingyun, and Chongyun floating warships have extremely powerful combat power and extremely fast speed. However, the western magic soldiers were nearly 30,000 elite demon wings, and more than a hundred demon dragons summoned them, which made their harassment difficult. With just one stick of incense, the hulls of the three floating warships were also beaten to pieces, and they had to withdraw from the battlefield in advance.

"Fairy Zhou Wanqing, Master Liu Dao led 4,000 sword cultivators to cross the sea to help. At this time, he had arrived in Jinchuan City to rest. You will rest for two more hours in Lingcheng Mountain and then go to Jinchuan City to pick up Fairy Zhou, Master Liu Dao and others." Chen Hai said.

"Okay!" After hearing Chen Hai said that reinforcements from the three islands of Fusang had arrived in Jinchuan City, Yu Cang, Jiang Pei and others were all excited.

Although over the years, the three islands of Fusang Hai have been led by Lei Yangzi, Wei Zhe, Liu Yafu, Zhou Yunshan and others, and a large number of elite troops have been incorporated into the Beiling Army by Chen Hai, the remaining troops of the Three Islands still have strong strength, and there are three true kings in the Heavenly Realm.

This time, Zhou Wanqing and Liu Zhenghua once again led 4,000 sword cultivators to cross the sea to help, and advanced and retreated with the three ships, which could actually double the scale of the sword cultivators of the three ships; if that were the case, they would become more empty and not as difficult as before.

"The Longxiang Army must go south from Lingbi in advance to cut off the route of the western demon soldiers crossing the Jitianqu east, but at this time, if the eastern demon soldiers turn west to receive support, what should we do?" Jiang Pei asked when he thought of another possibility.

"Then our army will fight with the main force of the demon soldiers in Wei Bo!" Chen Hai said in a stern manner.

“…”

Qin Sizi stood beside his husband Fu Shaoqun, and looked at the moment of rebuking Baji when Chen Hai spoke, and was secretly shocked.

At this time, in the wilderness covered with snow on the north side of Lingcheng Mountain, thousands of heavenly chariots were surrounded by a large number of horses and infantry, as if a rolling dragon was gathering towards Lingcheng Mountain. Qin Sizi had no doubt about Chen Hai's determination to launch a major battle against the demons.

In the past ten days, Qin Sizi and Fu Shaoqun led three ships to the eastern part of Hailing City as slow as possible to retreat southward. Before that, she only knew that the soldiers gathered to Hailing City every day, ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 to 100,000 to 108,000. Only then did she know that Wu Chang, who was north of Lingbi, had gathered millions of soldiers and horses from the city north of Nuchuan River as of today.

In addition, there was still a group of troops moving along the western foot of Zibai Mountain to the south, which means that as of today, the Beiling Army had gathered more than 8 million troops in the area south of Nuchuan.

If the troops moving south through the Fengyan airship north of the Nuchuan River were counted, through a large number of baggage trucks that were flying in the ice and snow, half a month later, the Beiling Army's troops entering the south of the Nuchuan River might eventually exceed 12 million...
