Huiming Prefecture borders Shaokang Prefecture to the southwest, Daye Prefecture to the northwest, Linwu Prefecture to the north, Fengli Prefecture to the east, and Jin'an Prefecture to the south.
Before the Xia Kingdom incorporated it into its territory, it was also the place where the Four Wars were fought...
Although there has been peace for many years now, and the war has been completely neglected, the bloody spirit in Hui Ming's bones is still there.
Honggu City suddenly fell, and the war resources were plundered by the Qi army...Whether it was the flying eagle delivering the message, or the Qingcong parade on the Yutai, or even the personal statements of the Honggu City guards, all confirmed this news time and again. Indeed.
A Qi army somehow managed to sneak past Huyang Pass and entered the hinterland of Xia Kingdom...
The entire Huiming Mansion was in a turmoil in an instant!
After all, the Xia Kingdom once had the foundation of being a hegemon. Once it declined, its power was not extinguished. In Huiming Mansion, although there is a saying that "the best soldiers of Huiming are all in Huyang", the city guards in other major cities still maintain their strength.
A considerable degree of force.
Among the seventeen cities of Huiming Prefecture, except for Honggu City, which has fallen, and [Yun'er City], which is likely to be the next target of the Qi army, the remaining fifteen cities urgently mobilized troops and horses to leave the city and attack Huiming.
, Shaokang junction, in the shortest possible time, blocked all the space between the two cities of Honggu and Yun'er.
The reason why the cities of Huiming were able to react so quickly and complete the blockade in such a short period of time... was because Fan Ao, the Marquis of Xuanping in Daxia, had already left in time and came to Huiming in person!
But it is said that Fan Ao was a serious Legalist disciple and was born in Sanxing Palace.
As a disciple of the Palace of Punishers, he traveled around the world carrying thorns and swords. He achieved success in his studies and returned to the Xia Dynasty as an official. (Thorns are weapons for punishing people. Disciples of Legalism traveled with thorns on their backs to understand the law and not to take it lightly.)
His origin, his strength, and his honors are all undoubtedly high-level figures in the Xia Kingdom.
On the eastern front battlefield where the Qi army was fighting, it was the core of Xia Fang.
On the Eastern Front battlefield, under the auspices of Fengguo Gong Zhou Ying, and with the help of the national defense formation, the Qi army was firmly dragged into the eight cities in the north of Linwu in the early stage. The idea of a quagmire of flesh and blood that Fengjie Mansion failed to achieve was almost impossible.
It took shape in Linwu Prefecture.
However, as the rear was suddenly attacked by war, the defense system that Zhou Ying had worked so hard to build fluctuated again and again. The eight cities in the northern part of Linwu Prefecture were finally broken through by the Qi army. While Zhou Ying rebuilt the defense line, he also quickly mobilized people to quell the internal troubles.
Two princes were dispatched at once!
They are Jin Ling, the Marquis of Anguo, and Fan Ao, the Marquis of Xuanping.
It should be noted that in this battlefield environment where flesh and blood are entangled, every powerful person in the divine presence is an indispensable force.
It can even be said that they are the cornerstone of Daxia's defense system, and they are like a ballast stone on this swaying dragon boat.
The two armies are facing each other, their generals are facing each other, and the stronger ones are keeping each other in check.
Zhou Ying sent two princes to the rear at once, so he would inevitably have to make more concessions on the front line. This also shows that he attaches great importance to the worries of his inner circle.
The Xia people would never want to see the story of Chu Liang replayed again!
Among them, Jin Ling, the Marquis of Anguo, personally led an army to attack Ximing City, the most critical city in the south of Linwu Prefecture, and personally suppressed the chaos in the south. (So he collided head-on with Chongxuanzun who was crossing the battlefield eager to win credit.)
Fan Ao believed that the small group of Qi troops that had circled behind the Xia army would never stay too long in the south of Linwu Mansion. After shaking the Linwu defense line and initially achieving the strategic goal, the Linwu rear area was more dangerous.
Where!
Among them, Pinglin Mansion is close to Xiangyou Mansion and behind the defense line of Tongyang City, which cannot be shaken by a small Qi army.
He was well aware of the abilities of General Huyang Pass guard, and he asked himself that even if he personally led a large army, there would be no way he could break through the pass in a short time, let alone this small Qi army on the move... Therefore
Huiming Mansion is also a safe place.
What he is worried about is Feng Li!
Fengli Prefecture is also adjacent to Linwu Prefecture, and Fengli Prefecture is a border county, next to Jin'an... Jin'an Prefecture is stationed to guard against the border troops of Liang State!
Once the rear of Jin'an Mansion is attacked, Liang Jun seizes the opportunity. The Liang people, who originally only wanted to intimidate and contain them, will act rashly even if they have no choice but to act rashly!
Fan Ao crossed the border alone and quickly rushed to Fengli. He wanted to calm down the danger before it arose and eliminate the misfortune before it happened. However, there was no trouble in the twenty-four cities of Fengli.
He even did not hesitate to use his spiritual knowledge to gain insight into several key points, but found no trace of the Qi army's entry.
At this time, news came that An Guohou was engaging the enemy in Ximing City, but his opponent was Zhongxuan Zun who came directly from the north of Linwu! From this point of view, the Qi army that was stirring up trouble behind Linwu Mansion
, like Chongxuanzun’s layout
- 1 - That makes sense.
Talented people like Chong Xuan Zun who became famous at a young age should have ambitions that match their talents.
Choosing Ximing City as his famous battle in the Qi Xia War was also a logical choice.
only…
Fan Ao felt uneasy in his heart.
He always felt that he seemed to have missed something.
Until on the way to Ximing City, preparing to join forces with Marquis An Guo to exterminate Zhongxuan Zun, I got news of the unusual movement in Huiming Mansion!
Only then did he realize where he had made a mistake.
The Qi army that stirred up trouble in the rear of the Xia Kingdom did not belong to Zhongxuan Zun, but had a cooperative relationship with each other! Its leader had an independent will and excellent battlefield vision, and every step he stepped on made people feel uncomfortable.
In this regard, he is a military genius who will never be inferior to Zhong Xuan Zun! In fact, this talent is the one who dominates the rhythm of the war!
Moreover, how did such a Qi army enter Huiming Mansion?
How to break through Huyang Pass?
Does touching mean death or surrender?
All kinds of bad situations were made possible because of this change, which made Fan Aoji break into a cold sweat.
Information on the battlefield is constantly changing, and the information cannot be communicated in time.
He can only make plans for the worst-case scenario based on existing intelligence.
He immediately withdrew and returned, with the dignity of a prince and the cultivation of a god, regardless of losses, he flew alone and could swim.
Immediately, a message was sent to the cities of Ming Prefecture, flying eagles and cavalry were released, and troops and horses in each city were urgently mobilized. The two armies were united and the three armies responded. They linked up the military formations, locked the passes and sealed the roads, and quickly formed a huge formation.
In the pocket, the whole space between Honggu City and Shaokang Mansion, within three days of a rapid march of elite soldiers like the Zhenguo Army, was blocked.
He tried to dig out the sore in the heart of the heart before it could fester, but he raided many places, and all he captured were the Honggu City guards who were being driven around. Not even a shadow of the Qi army could be seen, as if
It was not an army of 3,000 men, but just three or two extraordinary monks who had joined the guild to spy on the military situation. At this moment, they seemed to be flying into the sky and escaping from the earth.
Even if he really escaped from the ground... the fluctuations of Taoism in large-scale military formations should not escape the capture of the Yuan-seeking dogs.
where is the problem?!
"Did you see that eagle?" Lying in the col, Zhong Xuansheng piled a pile of grass on his body, thinking it was a cover, and squinted his eyes to look into the sky.
There was a thin and fierce goshawk flying across the sky.
Jiang Wang glanced lightly: "Shall I kill him?"
"You can't kill." Zhong Xuansheng said in a casual tone: "Kill us and our whereabouts will be exposed."
The isolation of long-distance communication means is a kind of interference that acts on the level of rules. Countries have different means, but in essence they have the same goal. For Qi State, it was completed by Ruan Yuan on the basis of Xingli. For Xia State, it was Yu Liyang who borrowed it.
The power of national power.
Under normal circumstances, there are endless extraordinary means, but there is no end to them. When it comes to techniques, one can only guard against one or the other.
Taking this flying eagle with the blood of a demon beast as an example, it is not difficult for a monk who is proficient in controlling beasts to attach vision to it.
If there is no interference, a monk with sufficient strength can spread out hundreds of flying eagles, enough to cover the battlefield.
But in a state of war, the rules of long-distance communication were cut off, and as a result of the extraordinary monks using flying eagles as eyes,
It's impossible to get a long-distance view at all.
Therefore, in a real war, the flying eagle can only play the most primitive function of transmitting messages. The flying beasts specially cultivated by the Beast Control Academy are of course specialized in transmitting messages and can fly fast and high, but extraordinary strong people want to
It's really easy to intercept and kill.
However, being killed is also a kind of information transmission. Especially for the Xia Army of Huiming Prefecture at this time, the disappearance of a flying eagle can quickly help them locate the target area.
While the two were talking, several more flying eagles flew overhead.
"They don't seem to be messy." Jiang Wang frowned.
"Yes, I released all the messenger flying beasts in Honggu City, and the chaos created by lying about the military situation was quickly suppressed." Chongxuan Sheng said unhurriedly: "Some big shots from the Xia Army have come over, and they are rebuilding the meeting.
Order in Ming Mansion."
"Do you want to interfere?" Jiang Wang asked.
Zhong Xuansheng sneered: "We are all leaving, what does it have to do with us?"
"March!" He jumped out of the mountain col.
The soldiers of the Victory Battalion jumped out from their hiding places one by one, quickly formed a team, and followed Chongxuan Shengjiang Wang all the way to Xinjie City.
Marching has been a big problem since ancient times.
The more urgent the march, the more the quality of the soldiers and the ability of the generals will be tested.
The more troops you have, the harder it is to control the speed of the army.
It was not until the old Marshal Yang Zhen of the Chang Kingdom, known as the "Soldier Immortal", that he created the "Mutang Benefit Formation", which fundamentally reduced the difficulty of marching an army.
The name of this military formation does not sound majestic.
The description of its effect seems to be very vague - it is just able to dissipate the blood energy during the march of the army.
All weapons are used to increase the marching speed, maintain the health of the soldiers, and replenish the energy loss.
But from then on, when all the military strategists in the world marched, no matter what formation they set up or where their divisions came from, they all took the formation of the mutual benefit of all armies as the root cause.
The great thing about the "Ten Thousand Arms Benefit Formation" is that if the commander is capable enough, the more soldiers under his command, the better the effect will be, and the faster the "safe march speed" will be. This is a pioneering work that truly subverts military common sense and is also extraordinary.
Revolution in war!
The reason why we need to emphasize "safe marching speed" is because in extreme cases, there are faster options.
For example, if Qiu Sha's army formed a military formation and mobilized the soldiers, Chongxuan and Chu Liang directly joined forces to lure the evil forces, and used the power of the military formation to rush forward, the marching speed would be ten times and a hundred times faster!
But in that case, when the army arrives on the battlefield, it will just be at the mercy of others and deliver food to the enemy...
Cao Jie was able to lead a million troops to Xia in eight days, which is proof that he is a famous general in the world.
Chong Xuan Sheng led three elite troops to march, but it was impossible to do so quickly...
Xinjie City is located in the east of Huiming Prefecture, adjacent to Fengli Prefecture, and is also the only place where Chongxuan Sheng and his "Fengli Prefecture Army" must pass home.
Chongxuansheng did not deceive Yulong, he really took people "home".
It's just a few days late.
Under the aim of sharp arrows and crossbows, he ventured through Huyang Pass. Before Huiming Prefecture could smell the breath of war, he lightly captured Honggu City to stir up the situation and disrupt the situation. All the troops in the cities of Huiming Prefecture went to
When the west gathers together, they have already come to the east!
Chong Xuan Sheng's tactics of using troops are like stepping on people's hearts, making every step impossible to avoid.
But the essence of war is ultimately about swords and guns. No matter how many strategies are devised, in the end one has to cut one's throat with a knife and fight for one's life.
It was still far away from Xinjie City, so Chongxuan Sheng had already ordered the entire army to garrison.
"What, do you want to change clothes again?" Jiang Wang asked.
Chong Xuansheng shook his head: "The inherent impression that Huyang Pass is insurmountable has been broken. The Xia people are now on guard. It is impossible to easily gain the city again. Especially in the current situation, Xinjie City mobilizes
Now that the main force has gone to the west, the generals guarding the city will be more vigilant and will never let the army get close."
He looked at Jiang Wang: "Brother Wang, I can only rely on you now. I need you to win the door alone!"
"Even if I become a god, I can't defeat the city defense formation alone..." Jiang Wang said, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Yutai Qingcong!?"
He finally understood why Zhongxuan Sheng specially brought a Xia Junxin Cavalry with him when he ran away. It was originally used at this time!
Chongxuan Sheng touched his palm and praised: "Brother Jiang is so smart! I really can't hide anything from you!"
Jiang Wang ignored him, carefully weighed it in his mind, and said, "You can give it a try."
The four words are calm and gentle.
The smile on Zhong Xuansheng's face faded. He didn't say anything. He just stepped forward and gave Jiang Wang a heavy hug.
No matter how much troops Xinjie City deploys to the west of Huiluo Mansion to besiege the Qi army, the necessary garrison force for city defense will not be lacking. At least there will be three to five thousand people defending the city.
With the blessing of the city protection formation, military formations, and city defense ordnance...
Even a genius like Jiang Wang would be in danger of death if exposed in advance!
The four words "riding alone to seize the door" sound nice to say.
But it's really a life-or-death struggle with a long knife at the neck.
He needs to be the first, disguise himself, and pass the message close to the city gate as a Yutai Qingcong patrolman.
Second, hand the letter into the hands of the guard and wait for an opportunity to kill him.
Third, under the pressure of the city defense formation and the pressure of military formations and ordnance, the goal was completed.
Fourth, support until Chongxuan leads his army to charge.
If you fail to do any step in the middle, your life will be in danger!
After thinking about it seriously, he just said he could give it a try.
In contrast, Zhong Xuansheng handed over such a dangerous matter to him without saying any unnecessary words.
Perhaps thousands of soldiers from the Victory Battalion came all the way to fight, and what they got was full of harvests, military exploits, wealth, etc. What they felt was the overwhelming joy and the joy of being invincible.
But as the two core members of Victory Camp, they sense danger all the time.
After all, they were in the summer realm, surrounded by enemies. They were fighting against the wind and waves in the depths of the raging sea, and there was a possibility of being swallowed by the tide at any time.
It's just that Chongxuan is better than people's wits, which makes everything look easy.
But how could Chong Xuan Sheng and Jiang Wang, who were responsible for the lives and deaths of three thousand people, be so relaxed?
Jiang Wang is practicing all the time, and Zhong Xuansheng is thinking all the time.
They kept communicating and discussing, but in fact, behind enemy lines, there were not many options to choose from.
After the war order in Huiming Mansion was restructured and Xia Fang knew that a big shot came to take charge, this dangerous warning sign reached its highest point.
If there was still room for maneuver before, then from now on, you can’t make a wrong step!
Xinjie City is a city that must be defeated, and it is especially crucial in Zhongxuansheng's strategic plan.
With the fall of Honggu City and the uniform of Shao Kang's army, he disrupted the situation in Huiluo Mansion and aroused the vigilance of Shao Kang's direction. Chong Xuan Sheng had used his wisdom and strategy to create the best conditions.
Now it's time to take risks.
If you want to seize Xinjie, you must not attack by force. The 3,000-man army formation is facing the bombardment, and there is no possibility of breaking the city. It is even impossible for a large number of people to get close to the city wall.
With one man's courage, killing the general, seizing the flag and occupying the gate is the only chance in this situation.
If Chong Xuan Sheng were the one with stronger force, he would act accordingly without hesitation.
Now Jiang Wang doesn't think about anything else, it's the same reason.
The friendship between them has gone beyond unnecessary considerations.
They have unreserved trust in each other.
The nonsense that should be said but not said is said all the time. But at this time... there is no need to say more!
Jiang Wang kept both the storage box and the Sauvignon Blanc.
After changing into military uniforms, I rode on the green horse of Yutai, took the flag and seal of Xia Junxinqi, got the standard crossbow and dagger of Yutai patrol, and learned a few words from Chongxuan Sheng to guide the northern part of Mingfu.
Speaking of accent...then he gently picked up the reins, raised his hooves, and headed towards Xinjie City.
Here the great city stands majestically, the sky is vast and the clouds are low, and the moat is like a jade belt wrapped around the waist.
The city defense formation has been opened and the same is true for the cities along the way. The Xia Kingdom defenders no longer care about losses and have turned to a more cautious defensive strategy.
Wearing Xia Guo Yutai's cyan short-fighting uniform, and using his misfortune seal to hide his treasure, Jiang Wang rode alone and galloped towards Xinjie City.
Chongxuan Sheng and Shi Shi hide in the shadow of the trees and look into the distance.
At that time, the distant city was like a mountain, and the distant sky was like a painting.
At that time, the flowing clouds looked like galloping horses.
At that time, the green and white horse and the knight on the horse left and never looked back.
"I am the Yutai Patrol Cavalry, conveying urgent military information, and the Xinjie City Guard General will receive the order!"
"I am the Yutai Patrol Cavalry, conveying urgent military information, and the Xinjie City Guard General will receive the order!"
Jiang Wang galloped his horse and encouraged Dao Yuan, shouting three times in a row.
At the top of Xinjie City, several large crossbows were moving around. The glow flowed and the cold light pointed at each other.
Jiang Wang immediately held the flag high in one hand and opened the other hand, raising it high to show that he was no threat. He still shouted: "Where is the guard of this city?!"
After a while, a general on the tower looked over and asked, "What order are you sending?"
Jiang Wang only said: "Significant military information will only be reported to the new general. Please order the seal and survey!"
The guard of Xinjie City naturally knows the rules of patrolling Yutai.
But the order must be carried with him, and the seal cannot be used by others to rashly contact people outside the city, and he is not willing to do so.
He only said: "Please Dingzhi Daoyuan and accept the test!"
Jiang Wang said nothing, raised his hands on horseback, and at the same time dispersed the Dao Yuan fluctuations.
At this time, if the defender of the city tower had a bad idea and fired a crossbow, it would be difficult for him to react!
At the same time, the two guards flew down.
One of them took out a gray array plate and ordered Jiang Wang to drip blood on it.
This is a divine forbidden disk, and its name is deceptive, but its actual effect is only to detect whether the target has divine cultivation. The development of this formation disk is to avoid the situation of a single soldier seizing the city.
The cultivation level can be hidden and the aura can be restrained, but the essence of the divine presence of the golden body and chalcedony cannot be changed. If blood drips on the array plate, nothing can be hidden.
The so-called divine ban means prohibiting "gods" from entering the city.
It is impossible for the monks of Shenlin to be Jade Terrace patrols, and it is almost impossible for the monks under Shenlin to make a difference under the pressure of the city defense formation.
Jiang Wang did as he was told.
Another guard began to search Jiang Wang.
His storage box and sword were all left with Chong Xuan Sheng.
The short crossbows and short swords of the Yutai patrol were all taken away.
The man reached for the mailbox hanging on his waist again. Jiang Wang didn't move his hands, but glared at him: "Those who are not under the order are not allowed to pry into the military situation. Anyone who violates the order will be executed!"
The guard in charge of the body search did not speak, but still opened the mailbox and looked inside. Except for the military orders rolled into a bundle, there was nothing else. There were no talismans, formation disks, or any other artifacts that could cause instant damage.
…so he closed the mailbox.
The guard holding the Divine Forbidden Disk nodded to the city wall, indicating that the test had passed.
So the guard of Xinjie City ordered someone to lower a rope and said: "Come up and talk."
Under the suppression of the city defense formation, flying would be very difficult for anyone not recognized by the main formation.
Therefore, even though the Jade Terrace patrols are all extraordinary monks, including many dragons, Xinjie City still lowers the long rope. The reason why it is not a hanging basket is because people hold the rope with both hands to climb, which itself is a sign of being undefended.
If the guard has any suspicion during the climb, he can be shot to death at any time!
Making money by riding alone is really a dangerous job. You have to put yourself in danger to win the trust of others.
Without saying a word, Jiang Wang held the command flag horizontally in his mouth, jumped off the horse, held the long rope with both hands, and climbed up with vigorous movements.
After climbing up to the city tower in twos and twos, they saw a group of 500 troops forming a threatening formation, with two large crossbows facing each other.
The city's defenders were also in full armor, bathing in the radiance of the city's protective formation.
Jiang Wang knew in his heart that he only had one chance to attack the defender who controlled the city defense formation that was fully activated.
Once the opponent uses the power of the formation to counterattack, he has only one way to escape.
There were thousands of calculations in his heart, but there was no wave on his face. He just stood behind the battlements, holding the flag in his hands. He behaved without moving a step forward, and repeated: "Only the new commander will be informed of important military information."
, please seal it with your order!"
"I am Xue Zhi, the guard of this city." The guard of Xinjie City asked casually, "Where are you from, brother?"
Jiang Wang did not answer, and only said: "Please order the seal to be reconciled!"
He only learned these few sentences, and if he spoke any more, he would reveal his secrets, so there was no way he was willing to talk more.
Fortunately, the military situation is urgent, and these rudenesses are more practical.
The guard general named Xue Zhi didn't care. He took out the seal for reconnaissance from the storage and took out his own general order: "Come, let's face a pair...Xuanpinghou just led his troops to leave three days ago.
Go, what happened again?"
In front of him, the taciturn Jade Patrolman didn't say a word. He just took out the letterbox he carried with him and took out the seal and military order. Xue Zhu saw that it was a slender and powerful one, very suitable for holding a sword.
hand.
Of course, his sword and crossbow have been confiscated at this moment.
Somehow, his eyes suddenly raised, and he saw a pair of red-gold eyes, striking along his line of sight.
- It crashed directly into the depths of consciousness like a torrent. The sun had set in the west, stirring up majestic power.
Falling into Tongtian Palace, knocking open its door!
The enemy at the soul level has broken through the city, and the enemy outside is already in the city!
The terrifying power of the soul surged forward.
Tongtian Palace's strong protection for the host allowed him to reluctantly organize a soul defense.
But outside the body, the cold light has turned.
At the outer building level, who can be stunned in front of Jiang Wang?
He barely had time to feel the pain before he fell into the never-ending darkness.
A small Yutai command flag penetrated right through the skull!
He was born to defend the city, and died to set up the flag.
And Jiang Wang succeeded with one blow, and the power of the soul continued to be activated. Under the influence of the single-rider breaking formation chart, he instantly concealed the snake and attacked all around, hiding the snake for hundreds of times!
The powerful advantage at the soul level is not enough for him to destroy opponents of the same level under the protection of Tongtian Palace, but for these city defenders, he can easily create chaos.
Kaka!
Amidst the decisive loudspeaker, the law-breaking crossbow arrows roared towards me.
The mark of Qingyun loomed, and Jiang Wang narrowly avoided it.
He could already feel the entire city defense formation releasing pressure on him. Even though Xue Zhu was dead, the city defense formation was still open. The gift of the Purple Ji Zhenglong outside him was resisting, and the four star towers high in the sky were standing together.
Yao, a star road runs through the fourth floor and goes straight to the world!
The majestic star power surged in, covering Jiang Wang's body, and with terrifying consumption, he briefly resisted the pressure of the city defense formation.
Five rounds of divine light flow between the chest and abdomen!
Amidst the intensive explosion of bones and the fierce rush of blood, the body of Tianfu appeared.
He took a step forward and was already facing the forefront of the 500-man military formation on the city wall.
I don’t know when I raised my left hand and pressed down directly on the first floor of the pavilion in the old garden. Cars were like flowing water and horses were like dragons.
A dazzling, gorgeous city of flames instantly overwhelmed the enemy formation and overturned the towers!
