Luodian country, Suyuan.
More than a hundred years ago, millet was named after the rich production of millet. Later, geological changes and soil and water degradation turned the land of plenty into a barren wasteland, making it difficult to grow anything. Fortunately, in the past two years, there have been frequent occurrences of millet, and some crops have grown here.
Thanks to Hui Ze, we can grow corn again.
If the spiritual energy were more abundant and the climate was more humid, the Luodian people might not need to go out to plunder, and could support themselves just by relying on the output of the land.
How great would that be?
He had this emotion when he passed by the corn fields when he was heading south like the sea. It was spring at that time, and he led his army to the country of Yao, hoping to take advantage of the chaos in the country to get a share of the pie.
I did get it.
King Yao was killed and the Yao Kingdom was destroyed. All the forces were entangled in each other and had no time to take care of the border. Qu Ruhai led the Luodian soldiers and openly ate up a large area of ​​​​the northern border of Yao Kingdom, and was intercepted by a heavy-armed general on the way.
However, due to his status, Chongwu himself was not in a good position and lacked support. He soon left the Yao Kingdom and returned westward to Bixia.
The Luodian army continued to move south and participated in the civil strife in Yaodi.
Qu Ruhai was having an inextricable fight with Bai Tan, hurting each other. Unexpectedly, the rear sent three urgent orders:
Beiguan Baishuiling was attacked!
The Kasha tribe and the Longye tribe invaded!
The Black Armored Army captured Taojing, return quickly!
Baishui Ridge is the northwest border of Luodian, bordering the territory of the Longye tribe;
Taojing is already in the middle of Luodian, less than seventy miles away from the capital!
Qu Ruhai was stunned when he received these three urgent orders, because the relations with Luodian's surroundings have been stable for many years. Although Longye and Kasha are also good fighting tribes, they were defeated by Luodian twenty years ago.
He believed in the god Miaozhan like Luo Dian.
Why did these two tribes suddenly invade south? Is it because Miao Zhantian suddenly fell?
As for the Black Armored Army's "capture" of Taojing, it is even more unreasonable.
Of course Qu Ruhai knew that the Black Armor Army was the so-called subordinates of Emperor Jiuyou, but they seemed to only kill people and not take up space, right? Why was the word "capture" used in the urgent order?
The most terrifying thing is that these three urgent orders were issued within six days in total. In other words, so many things happened in Luodian Kingdom within six days!
The enemy's pace is too fast.
Qu Ruhai did not dare to continue his greed for merit on the Yaodi battlefield, so he reluctantly withdrew his troops and returned north.
What a shame that Bai Tan saw the opportunity and sent troops to pursue him!
A temporary retreat on the battlefield was inherently very dangerous and could result in a rout if not careful. Qu Ruhai finally retreated to the north of Yaodi. Counting his troops and horses, he lost more than 700 troops during the retreat, which made him feel depressed.
On the way back, he once again passed through the millet fields that were about to be harvested. The millet waves were undulating in the evening wind. But he was traveling at night under the stars and the moon, and he was not in the mood to sigh anymore.
This time with the hasty withdrawal of troops, Bai Tan would probably laugh at the results of his hard work in the early stage.
Kasha, Longye, Heijiajun, all deserve to die!
But before he could get angry, another urgent order arrived.
This content is quite detailed. When I unfolded Qu Ruhai and took a look, my back felt cold.
In Longye and Kasha, driven by the Heijia Army, the troops divided into two groups to capture large areas of land in the east and west of Luodian;
Emperor Jiuyou personally led the Black Armored Army to attack central Luodian, taking Taojing first and now approaching the capital!
In addition, the gods have proven that the true identity of Emperor Jiuyou is He Xiao, the owner of Yangshan Island!
Although the letter was so long, Qu Ruhai could only see the word "He Xiao" in his eyes.
In Tianshui City, the old Yao capital, he had dealt with He Xiao more than once. The man was smart, eloquent, and well-rounded. He indeed looked like a big businessman. He could even persuade Yao King to do what he did to Tianshui New City.
We entrust him with the preparation and construction of large projects.
This is a rare talent.
But Emperor Jiuyou?
Is He Xiao the Great Emperor of Jiuyou? Qu Ruhai pressed his forehead and read this line back and forth several times, feeling an unreal and absurd feeling.
If he had a sudden idea at that time and killed He Xiao with one blow, would there be no disaster that would later happen to Emperor Jiuyou?
No, no, that guy was able to kill the Qingwei leader under Qingyang Supervisor on the spot. Now it seems that he must have hidden his edge at that time.
Qu Ruhai was very anxious and urged the army to return north as quickly as possible.
He is the head of Zuo Zongzong of Luodian Kingdom, and the king is his biological brother. If the capital is captured, where will his two brothers have a foothold in the future?
As for why the Black Armored Army is progressing so fast, Qu Ruhai has his own interpretation.
He does not deny that the Black Armored Army is powerful. After all, the legend portrays them as invincible. It is not entirely groundless, right?
The more important reason may be because... Luodian's domestic strength is lacking?
Since the surrounding areas were stable and Luodian had coveted the land of Yao for a long time, Qu Ruhai sent his army southward and received the monarch's full support. Not only were supplies prepared in time, but the southern expeditionary army was also composed of elites drawn from various departments in Luodian, in order to ensure a smooth journey southward and ensure a smooth journey southward.
Play to your level and achieve results.
Secondly, God Miaozhan went to the Diandian Sea and also left nearly a thousand people from Luodian.
Those chosen by the Lord God of Luodian must be the best of the best. There are not only battle-hardened Luodian warriors, but also many practitioners, shamans, and monsters. The lineup is more powerful than the army that Qu Ruhai brought to Yaodi to fight.
, more balanced.
As water was pumped hard by two large pipes, the reserves in the Luodian reservoir naturally dropped sharply.
There is no mistake, every song is published and every content is read one by one!
Generals like Qu Ruhai, who lead the troops in battle, know best that no matter how many miscellaneous soldiers there are, they are just a supplement. It is the elite and vanguard soldiers who play the decisive role.
Luodian was not a big country to begin with, and with so many elites suddenly reduced, its strength will inevitably decline.
This was just a temporary phenomenon, but Emperor Jiuyou keenly seized the opportunity and took advantage of it!
But even after thinking about this, Qu Ruhai still felt heavy in his heart.
How on earth did Emperor Jiuyou subdue the two major tribes of Kasha and Longye without saying a word?
What else was he doing up north?
Qu Ruhai admitted that Luodian was not big and its domestic governance had always been relatively extensive, but Emperor Jiuyou could conquer the capital from the north all the way in a few days. This speed was still unbelievable.
No matter how good the troops left behind in Luodian are, they are not comparable to the roving soldiers on the Golden Flash Plains.
This night, the moonlight is dim.
He was thinking as he hurried on, and he was approaching the Chiling Mountains ahead.
This is a country of red soil, with high mountains and low valleys, and the road is not easy to walk. But once you pass through, it will be a smooth journey to the capital.
At this moment, the spy in front suddenly blew an emergency whistle.
Three short blasts, a pause, then three more blasts, repeated three times.
There is an enemy ahead, approach quickly!
Qu Ruhai was startled and hurriedly ordered the whole army to stand ready. He was also a little puzzled:
Is the leader a fool?
Ahead is the Chiling Mountains. The mountain road is narrow and the terrain is congested. As long as it is blocked at both ends, it is a perfect pocket. Why didn't the enemy ambush him there, but chose a large plain with only a few low hills?
