Chapter 554 confrontation

No one expected that the reinforcements of the Longxiang Army would come so quickly!

No one expected that Chen Hai had built a thousand-mile passage connecting Liquan and Hengshan in the past few years between the numerous ridges on the western foot of Qintong Mountain, and the various valves had no idea about this!

If Dong Chou hadn't seen the broken rock chariot digging the tunnel entrance with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that all this was true.

It is relatively easy to pave a plank road and build iron bridges in the deep mountains and ridges, but the sixteen tunnels and pits totaling up to 160 miles are all located deep in the rock layer and need to be dug inch by inch. Who can imagine that the Longxiang Army took less than three years to dig it?

The reinforcements of the Longxiang Army came so quickly that the Jiufan coalition had not yet completed the final preparations for the attack on Juquanling. They had just collected thousands of primary thunder monster scales to prepare to create thunder-proof chariots so that the soldiers could approach the mountain gate of the Tianji Academy. They also planned to create a batch of heavy stone-capping crossbows to limit the power of the Tianji war machinery owned by the Longxiang Army.

However, all the preparations for the Nine Vatics Alliance have just begun. The newly formed Guining Army of Tianji Academy and the fourth town division of the Longxiang Army that came reinforced, the general has reached 200,000.

They didn't even understand that the Longxiang Army was in Tianjun City, Tongkou was guarding against the Liangyong Miao family, and the 400,000 elite troops of the Dong family in Hexi had not decreased. Where did the newly added 100,000 elite troops come from?

The Dragon Xiang army gathered earlier than expected, and the Jiufan coalition forces could only huddle in Liquan City and not leave. However, on the plains of the capital, Yu Zonghu would lead the Hu Xiao camp to attack Guining City at any time, and Chen Hai would not give the Jiufan coalition any chance to delay.

Moreover, since the two sides have reached the point of drawing their swords to each other, Chen Hai naturally wants to completely abolish the previous agreement of the nine vassals to jointly govern Liquan, and expel the nine vassals from Liquan, from Tongbei Prefecture, and from Qintong Mountain. The nine vassals will no longer continue to suck blood on the Tianji Academy comfortably.

On December 28, the 1983rd year of Emperor Yitian, Chen Hai spared 40,000 Gui Ning Army to guard Juquanling, gathered 100,000 elite troops of the Longxiang Army and 60,000 Gui Ning Army's new soldiers into five-winged soldiers in front, back, left, middle and right, and headed towards Liquan City dozens of miles away.

Chen Hai, Zhao Ruhui, Guo Hongzong and others stood on the chariot and slowly approached with the central army.

In the past few days, the Jiufan coalition forces have also accelerated the construction of defensive fortifications outside Liquan City.

A wooden wall spreads along the foot of Shiling on the west wing of Liquan City, stretching thirty or forty miles long, extending to the south bank of Tonghe River.

The Shiling in the West wing is not very steep, with a mountain at the highest point of only three or four hundred meters. However, around the three main peaks in the shape of "Pin", the Jiufan coalition forces built three camps behind the wooden wall outside the city. Judging from the banner, the three camps outside the city were directly stationed directly by the Hexi Road Yamen, Liangyong Iron Wolf Army and the Huang clan of the Helan Sword Sect. These are also the three most powerful combat forces in the Jiufan coalition forces.

On the steep ridge and above the mountain peaks, the Jiufan Alliance warlords built wooden towers and placed heavy crossbows. In the ice and snow, the gold-tempered heavy arrows at the crossbows flashed with a deadly cold light. Among the three camps, the Jiufan Alliance also opened up a chariot position, with almost twenty light and heavy heavenly war vehicles deployed there.

These Tianji war chariots were not transported by Jiufan, but were directly stored in Liquan in case of any change. Unexpectedly, they would be used to resist the attack of the Longxiang army on Liquan.

Dong Chou did not deploy the battle bird camp on the frontier positions, but it was only a distance of 14 or 5 miles from Liquan City to Xiling position, and could cover it like violent thunder clouds at any time, blocking the Longxiang Army's offensive.

"It seems that Dong Chou still has fantasies, thinking that with a hundred thousand mobs, we can really block us west of Liquan City!"

Chen Hai watched the defensive situation of the Jiufan coalition outside Liquan City, and knew that Dong Chou had not been completely desperate, and he also wanted to use the mountain terrain on the west wing of Liquan City to deploy defense arrays and block their pace to the west of Liquan City.

In this way, as long as they can defend Liquan City and block the Longxiang Army's plan to reinforce the capital, Dong Chou's plan will not be considered bankrupt.

Facing the Longxiang Army and Guining Army that were coming like a tide, Dong Chou, who was standing on the main peak of Xiling to watch the battle, naturally he would not admit defeat easily. Although the plan to attack Juquanling and force the dissolution of Tianji Academy failed, he was confident that he could still defend Liquan City.

He even only needed to defend Liquan City for one month, giving the inner court and the guards enough time to annihilate the Longxiang Army's troops in the capital. The final victory must still belong to him.

Looking at the vanguard of the Longxiang Army, nearly a hundred light and heavy heavenly vehicles rumbled and turned into ice and snow. Looking at the blood demon puppets that were more than 30, eight or nine meters high, every step fell, the frozen ground trembled slightly. Dong Pan felt deeply worried: Can the Jiupan coalition really defend Liquan City?

Seeing the Longxiang Army's vanguard soldiers and entered the opposite mountain to build a simple departure position, Ge Xuanqiao sighed in his heart and said to Dong Chou: "Please let me see Chen Hai again..."

Dong Chou wanted to refuse. Now that he has reached this point, what else can he talk about?

Could it be that Chen Hai would withdraw his troops and return to Juquanling, and watch the Longxiang Army in the capital beijing being eaten by Wei Ziya, Yu Zonghu and others, or perhaps the Nine Vatican coalition forces have been disbanded from then on, Ren Liquan and Juquanling, which produces an annual output of 40 million jin of gold and iron, completely fell under the control of the Longxiang Army?

At this point, who will give in?

However, negotiations can delay the opportunity, so it might as well give it a try.

Dong Chou nodded and signaled Dong Pan and Ge Xuanqiao to see Chen Hai together.

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

Dong Fan and Ge Xuanqiao rose from the west ridge of Liquan City to the sky and flew directly to Chen Haizhong's army formation.

Chen Hai asked the Battle Bird Battalion that blocked the airspace of the Central Army Array to make way for the way, let Ge Xuanqiao go and Dong Pan come over to speak.

"Minister Ge, long time no see," Chen Hai did not expect that one day would meet Ge Xuanqiao, and said with a lee, "I know what Ge Zhenren wants to persuade me, but judging from the current situation, Ge Zhenren thinks that I can give up the Yao family and the tens of thousands of soldiers in Guining City, and hide in Juquanling without conquering Liquan City?"

Ge Xuanqiao was also full of emotion. Who could imagine that Chen Hai and Hexi would finally get to this point and asked: "There is really no other choice?"

"Over the years, I have not eaten the many benefits of gold quenching iron, heavenly war equipment, or even blood demon puppets. However, the nine vassals are not satisfied. They do not want to stand with the Longxiang Army to assist the imperial concubine, the emperor's son, eliminate the eunuchs, and restore the emperor's rule. They actually came up with such a vicious plan. They wanted to cut off the lifeline of our Longxiang Army and to send tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of members of the Yao family to the inner court to slaughter and harm. Ge Zhenren asked me what choice was there?"

Chen Hai stood with his hands, staring at Ge Xuanqiao with a bright look, and said loudly,

"We must say that there is a choice, that is, Jiufan withdraws from Liquan and Qintong Mountain. Hexi must also give up Qintong Xiguan and retreat west of Tianshui County. Today, I may be able to remember the old love and let Prince Dongchou live..."

"Chen Hai, Jiufan has 100,000 elite troops to defend Liquan City at this time. Do you really think you can easily capture Liquan? Once this war is really uncovered, you will be enemies with Jiufans. Think about it, there are millions of iron cavalry in Hexi alone. Even if you can capture Yanjing City in the future, the Longxiang Army can really be enemies with Jiufans and the world? You must know that you will raise an army at this time. In addition to the 300,000 elite troops in Hexi in Wolong City, Liangyong Miao will gather hundreds of thousands of troops at any time to attack the Longxiang Army's nest from the northeast of Yubei City. Do you think you can really resist it?" Dong Pan said sternly, "You withdraw your troops and return to Juquanling at this time. Hexi may be able to discuss with the inner court, or you may let the Yao family withdraw from the capital!"

"Dong Pan, you still haven't seen the situation clearly. Since Dong Fan and Ge Zhenren are here, I don't mind exposing the true strength of the Longxiang Army so that you can consider it again," Chen Hai shook his head and shouted behind him, "Han Jian, come out to pay homage to Ge Zhenren..."

Han Jian rode a red beast and slowly stepped forward, saluting Ge Xuanqiao and said, "Mr. Ge, I haven't seen him for many days, Han Jian is polite."

"..." Dong Pan was not very familiar with the generals of the Jingjue Protectorate, but he had also heard of the names of the three Han heroes. He knew that when Chen Hai assisted Dong Ningping in the recovery of the situation in the Western Qiang Kingdom, Han Qingyuan, Han Jian and Han Wendang all played an important role.

Later, Han Wen should join Chen Hai to join the Longxiang Army, while Han Jian and Han Qingyuan have always been commanders of the Jingjue Protector.

Judging from Ge Xuanqiao's reaction, Dong Pan confirmed that the thin middle-aged general in front of him was indeed Han Jian, one of the three masters of the Han family.

Han Jian actually appeared in Juquanling!

Isn’t it that the 100,000 elite troops that suddenly emerged were actually the soldiers of the Jingjue Protectorate?

Or, this means that Dong Ning has completely betrayed Dong's family?

At this moment, Dong Pan felt a chilling air oozing out of his back.

The Jingjue Protectorate's significance to Hexi is definitely not under Liquan, because Hexi can obtain more than 2 million kilograms of intermediate gold quenching iron from Liquan at this time every year!

The supply of gold quenching iron materials in Liquan and Lucheng was cut off at the same time, which means that the annual supply of gold quenching iron materials obtained in Hexi will immediately drop from more than 6 million jin to one-sixth level.

The impact of this incident is definitely worse than the annihilation of the Nine Vaticans coalition forces by Chen Hai, and it is even more unbearable for Hexi. Could it be that the incident in Liquan has not been resolved yet, and Hexi formed an expeditionary army to cross the desert thousands of miles to fight against the Jingjue Protectorate?

How could Dong Ning betray Dong's family for Chen Hai?

At this moment, Dong Pan was so shocked that he could hardly hover in the air.

Chen Hai ignored Dong Pan's shocked expression and waved to the rear. At this time, Dong Fan saw eight giant combat weapons dragged by light chariots in the central army of the Longxiang Army. At this time, he slowly went out to the vanguard position.

These eight giant combat weapons have a very similar appearance to heavy-bore crossbows, but their lengths are magnified ten times. Each of the giant crossbows placed in the trailer is about three meters long, even twice as thick as his arm. Simply put, these are eight super heavy-bore crossbows that are magnified ten times.

Dong Pan watched eight super heavy crossbows finally placed behind the hillside on the west wing of the Longxiang Army's vanguard's position, and the crossbows pointed obliquely towards the sky in the direction of Liquan City.
