Chapter 838: Battle (1)
The wind rises at the end of the green duckweed, and the waves form among the ripples.
Most generals and soldiers on the Mozhanling Ridge have no way to feel these slight ripples from the upper class of Chongguo, but Chen Hai can still feel the cruel and bloody era is coming soon.
In the winter of the 17th year of Jianxing, Jiang Yin, who had been in charge of the Northwest General's Mansion for a hundred years, wrote a letter to resign from his position and handed over the seal of General Panlong. The newly appointed General Zhu State was the 17th son of the Supreme Saint Emperor Qin Shimin, and was also the seventeenth uncle of Emperor Xi, Qin Pan, who is now sitting on the throne of Yongjing, and King Lie Qin Ran.
When King Lie Qin Ran got off the car, he unintentionally weakened the status of the three sects in the Northwest Territory.
Although he brought 20,000 tiger generals and counselors to the Huwei Guards of the Prince, he did not adjust the official position of the General's Mansion of the Zhu Kingdom, nor did he send his own people to control the authority of the General's Mansion of the Zhu Kingdom, nor did he adjust the intention of appointing the thirty-six towns.
When King Lie Qin Ran went north this time, in addition to the elite Tiger Guards, he also brought a large group of beautiful singers. After he took office, he spent more time watching songs and dances in the palace courtyards of the royal palace, and rarely involved in the affairs of the General's Mansion. However, Chen Hai and the others knew that this was just a plan to conceal the demons from Xuanyuan's palace. Soon, a large number of elite soldiers would go north from Yongjing to fill the city blocks in Mozhanling and other places.
In the letter sent by Jiang Yin, Chen Hai knew that Jiang Yin had the conditions to resign as General Zhuguo, that is, Xuanyuan went to the palace to recover, and to control Tianluo Valley, he needed to mobilize troops from Yongjing, and could not use the soldiers of the 36 towns under the former Northwest General Zhuguo Mansion.
The soldiers of the former Thirty-six Towns will serve as the second-line combat force in this war directly presided over by Yongjing, mainly taking on the defense of key areas such as Mozillingling and Pingmashan.
In the eyes of many people, the Northwest Region has increased significantly. In addition to worrying that Yong Jing may take the opportunity to extend his power to the Northwest Region and weaken the control of the three sects over the Northwest Region, he is not worried that the demons can pose any threat to the human race.
In order to prevent Xuanyuan from going to the hall from taking the opportunity to weaken the control of the three sects over the local area, the opinions of Wanxian Mountain, Yuanyang Sect and Xuanhuang Hall Sect are rarely agreed. It is to strengthen the construction of blockade defense passes such as Mozillingling and Pingma Mountain to ensure that the war is over, and the Yongjing military and horse association withdraws from the northwest territory as scheduled.
Beilingsai is also one of the key points of construction.
Although the three sects have no extravagant ideas about the treasures of Liuyang Palace and have stated that they will not assume the responsibility of directly engaging in large-scale battles with the demons, if they have the opportunity to intervene, they are more or less trying to get a share of the pie.
However, even if we increase our support for Beilingsai at this time, the supplies that can be transferred from Yantai Pass to Beilingsai will be limited.
Jiang Yinze was worried that the three sects were too optimistic, underestimated the attractiveness of Liuyang Palace's treasures to the demons, and underestimated the forces that the demons eventually gathered in the northern part of Tianluo Valley. In addition to secretly actively promoting the strengthening of defense lines such as Pingma Mountain, he also accepted Chen Li's suggestion and felt that it was necessary to focus on building Dongdu Mountain located on the flank of Mozilling Ridge.
Once the Magic Demon Ridge is lost, Dongdu Mountain will be connected with important terrains such as Pingshan Horse, forming a new line of defense, so as not to allow the demon soldiers to have the opportunity to penetrate into the hinterland of the rule of the three sects.
Although Jiang Yin resigned as General of the Zhu Kingdom, his prestige was still there and he had resources that ordinary people could not reach. He went to Dongdu Mountain to collect eight thousand craftsmen and obeyed Chen Hai's call.
The entire Northwest Region is in a state of tight inside and loose outside, including the General Mansion of the Northwest Region, which secretly prepares for war with all its might, and supplies such as Xuanyang Jing and Iron suddenly become in short supply.
Now there are more than 10,000 craftsmen gathering in Dongdu Mountain, but whether they are building city buildings, casting armor, or creating heavenly war machines, the Xuanyang Iron required is astronomical. The barren mines in Dongdu Mountain and Quyan Valley alone cannot supply production needs at all. The war in the nine counties and countries has not yet subsided, and there is no extra Xuanyang Iron and low-level spiritual medicine to transport it over the sea.
It is time to slap Fu Shaoqun with one knife. One million kilograms of Xuanyang iron per month is extremely important to Chen Hai.
The end of the year is approaching and heavy snow is everywhere.
Just above a simple whistle tower near Beiling Pass, Fu Shaoqun and a few followers looked towards Beiling Pass.
The towering city gate of Beilingsai opened, and a team of iron armored cavalry came out first and headed far north; behind the cavalry, five teams of thousands of people surrounded hundreds of chariots, dragging their winding formations, and heading eastward.
The soldiers and horses soon disappeared into Fu Shaoqun's spiritual perception range. He frowned and turned to the attendant and said, "No matter how I forced him that day, Chen Hai never agreed to go to the battle. Not long after, he led his troops to enter the depths of the wasteland. It was really strange. What confidence does he have to hunt the Rakshasa blood demon on the wasteland?"
After Fu Shaoqun gained foothold in Aizhailing in the west of the Beiling, he sent a scout to touch the terrain around Tianluo Valley and knew that the 80,000 to 90,000 elite demon soldiers in Tianluo Valley were headed by Shaojun Tai, a young man in the evil realm.
Perhaps it was because he failed to capture Beiling Pass several times before, but instead suffered losses. In the past year, the demon soldiers in Tianluo Valley have rarely taken the initiative to attack.
No matter how arrogant Fu Shaoqun was, he would not dare to lead his troops into the Tianluo Valley, which was full of magical fog and poisonous miasma, and to attack powerful enemies that were ten times more than him. He did not believe that Chen Hai would only lead two thousand elite cavalry and five thousand chariots and infantry to do anything.
Everyone around Fu Shaoqun looked at each other, not knowing Chen Hai’s specific plans.
Fu Shaoqun snorted coldly and said, "My loophole is not so easy to drill. If Chen Hai wants to deal with me with the heads of two thousand miscellaneous demons, he will probably be a dream."
When King Lie entered the General's Mansion of the Northwest Pillar Kingdom, he would mobilize a large amount of military supplies from Yongjing in the early stage. Xuanyang elites were the main item, but as far as Fu Shaoqun knew, the first batch of Xuanyang essence irons drawn from Tianshu Courtyard were only 1 billion jin.
It is not easy for him to get one million kilograms of Xuanyang essence from His Royal Highness King Lie every month, so naturally he would not ask Chen Hai to easily trick him.
A follower behind him frowned and said, "Chen Hai, Jiang Yuwei has gained a foothold in Beilingsai and has fought several tough battles with the demons. Why don't we send someone to follow and see what they do specifically?"
Fu Shaoqun nodded and sent out dozens of elite scouts who were good at hiding the hidden straits to stare at the group of soldiers and horses that were out of Beiling Pass to see if they were moving. However, Fu Shaoqun was in the camp the next day, but Chen Hai sent someone to carry the stretcher to send back more than ten elite scouts.
"... General Chen ordered Bei Zhi to say goodbye to General Fu. This time he led his troops to find a fighter opportunity, and to fulfill his bet with General Fu, asking General Fu not to send people to stare at us anymore, and to wait for our good news here to avoid making misunderstandings like this time, and thinking that it was a scout sent by the demon clan, almost hurting the lives of several senior brothers."
Fu Shaoqun looked at the dozens of scouts with broken hands and feet, but he didn't expect Chen Hai to act so cruelly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'm here, waiting for General Chen's good news and send the head of the demon soldier over!"
At this time, Chen Hai, who was missed by Fu Shaoqun, was moving forward in the dense forest, but his direction was not Tianluo Valley, but the direction east of Tianluo Valley.
The wilderness was covered with heavy snow, the sparse forests and leaves had withered, and the world seemed particularly depressed, and the sunlight scattered from the branches, making it slim.
Wei Han followed Chen Hai and said in a muffled voice: "Boss, are we too cruel to do it? We are all from poor families?"
Chen Hai snorted coldly and said, "Did they ever treat themselves as poor children? After we caught them, they were all arrogant. What do you think I can't deal with them?"
Wei Han shrugged his shoulders and said nothing. Chen Hai patted the golden-haired beast and continued to rush forward.
The young master of the Palace of the Negative Realm, Tai, has led tens of thousands of elite demon soldiers to huddle in the Tianluo Valley, with an activity range of no more than 200 miles from the Tianluo Valley. Chen Hai does not have the ability to directly enter the Tianluo Valley to chew this hard bone.
However, the young master of the Palace of the Negative Realm was able to gather so many elite demon soldiers in Tianluo Valley. To put it bluntly, it was only after Tianchengshan’s support that he could achieve this.
At this time, on the wasteland 40,000 to 50,000 miles deep between Tianluo Valley and Tiancheng Mountain, the demon clan also built many small demon villages during this period to ensure contact with Tianluo Valley and supplies. However, since the demon clan is very likely to think that the treasures such as the Yuxu Temple are in the hands of the demons such as the Pandu and Dantu, they do not want to stimulate the nerves of the human race too early, the scale of these newly built demon villages is relatively ordinary.
This time, Chen Hai was going to go around the north of Tianluo Valley to attack these demon villages of the demon clan and hunt down demon soldiers in order to fulfill the bet and be able to exchange Xuanyang essence iron from Fu Shaoqun.
As the team marched, in the air, a swan with a green light suddenly penetrated from the clouds and landed lightly on Chen Hai's shoulder.
Chen Hai took off the secret letter tied to the Linghu's legs, smiled and let the Linghu fly out.
Soon, with the order, the moving team accelerated a little more. According to the news, a team of 5,000-scale Rakshasa demon soldiers came out of Tiancheng Mountain a few days ago and were heading towards Tianluo Valley through the demon villages.
