Chapter 772, seize Hanzhong

After Ma and Ning Yuan reached a deal, the two immediately settled the bill and left the teahouse, and then found a secluded hotel and began to study some details of the transaction.

After studying all the rules, the two left the hotel and went home.

That night, after the game restarted, Ning Yuan immediately ordered the Condor Army located in the Bao Slope Road, Fu Luo Road, and Meridian Road to launch a fierce attack on the pass in front of them.

In the face of the successive attacks of the players of the Dragon Legion, the demon army guarding the pass suddenly doubled the pressure.

Soon, the first pass in Fu Luo Road was broken by the Condor Army, and the remaining demon defenders could only retreat to the second pass while urgently asking for help from Ma Feng Biao, who oversaw the military power in Hanzhong.

The Bao Slope where Ma Biao was stationed was also under great pressure, and he couldn't allocate many manpower to support Fu Luo Dao, so he immediately sent people to Chengdu to ask Daniels for help.

Daniels had already run away, so this call for help was doomed to be fruitless.

After the messenger asking for help brought back the news that Daniels had not yet returned to Chengdu, the demon warriors on the front line speculated that Daniels must have suffered something wrong, otherwise it would be impossible for him to return to Chengdu at this time.

In the face of rumors in the army, Ma Fengbiao immediately took out his identity as the king of Hanzhong and the general of the protector of the country and began to suppress it.

The rumors were suppressed, but the problem of a serious shortage of troops could not be resolved.

Seeing that several other messengers asking for help from the other passes were like watching the flowers, but Daniels never heard from him, Ma Fengbiao immediately declared a state of emergency for the entire demon clan, and he would take Daniels' place as regent until Daniels returned.

Today's demon race dragon has no leader, and Ma Feng Biao stood up at this time and immediately won everyone's support.

After gaining the support of all the demon clansmen, Ma Fengbiao decided to abandon Hanzhong immediately on the grounds that the supply of logistics and materials was difficult and the troops were scattered and difficult to defend, and all the demon warriors retreated to Sichuan, defending the Jianmen Pass, which was even easier to defend and difficult to attack.

Dajian Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and the seventy-two peaks are shaped like sharp swords, but there is a natural gap in it, and this gap is where the Sword Gate Pass is located.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that Jianmen Pass is a husband and a man is not open.

The terrain of Jianmen Pass is very peculiar.

If you come from the north, it will be a high mountain, with a thousand walls, and it will be very treacherous. If you come from the south, it's sloping land, and it's easy to attack in the south and difficult to attack in the north.

In the history of China, Jianmen Pass has never been broken from the front (north) record, which can be called the first Xiongguan in Shu.

If the demon army retreats to Sichuan, then they will be able to have enough troops to defend the Sword Gate Pass, and no matter how many troops the Condor Army dispatches, they will only be able to return with hatred.

Many demon warriors are well aware of the steepness of the Sword Gate Pass, and it is indeed a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Although it was emotionally unacceptable for them to give up Hanzhong like this, they simply did not have enough troops to defend all the passes, so retreating to the Sword Gate Pass was already the best choice at present.

After gaining the support of most of the demon warriors and demon officers, Ma Feng Biao immediately began to organize the ordinary demon clansmen to retreat to Sichuan.

After all the demon clansmen passed through the Jianmen Pass safely, on a dark night, the demon army in the three Shu Roads quietly left the garrison pass by taking advantage of the night, and rushed all the way towards the Jianmen Pass.

Ning Yuan was clear about the actions of the demon army from the beginning, because this was a plan he and Ma Fei had jointly researched to close the door and beat the dog.

Ning Yuan constantly put pressure on the demon defenders defending the pass, and his purpose was to help Ma Feng Biao gain the trust of all the demon clansmen.

When Ma Feng took the place of Daniels as regent, he would immediately abandon Hanzhong and give the whole of Hanzhong to Ning Yuan's Condor Army.

Therefore, even though he knew that the demon defenders in the pass would sneak away when it was dark in the past few days, Ning Yuan still chose to stand still and pretend that he couldn't see anything.

When the next day dawned, there was no longer a single demon defender on the pass, Ning Yuan directly ordered the cavalry and flying legions to rush into Hanzhong to seize the territory abandoned by the demon clan.

Because he knew that the Northern Expedition Alliance was not a fuel-efficient lamp, they had been closely monitoring the demon garrison in the border area, and once they found that the demon garrison had suddenly disappeared, they would definitely send troops to receive the cities that had been abandoned by the demon clan.

And the fact was just as Ning Yuan expected, when the scouts of the Northern Expedition Alliance who were monitoring Shangyong (Zhushan) found that there had been no demon warriors on the top of Shangyong's city all day, they immediately risked being shot and flew over to investigate.

When they found that the entire Shangyong City had become an empty city, they immediately reported to the top of the Northern Expedition Alliance.

Although I don't know what happened to the demon clan in Hanzhong, after getting the border army of the demon clan mysteriously disappeared, the high-level of the Northern Expedition Alliance still decisively issued an order to seize it.

After receiving the order from the top of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance, the Northern Expeditionary Alliance army, which was relatively close to Shangyong, immediately marched to Shangyong.

After authorizing the army to occupy Shangyong, which had been abandoned by the Demon Clan, the Northern Expedition Alliance quickly issued another order, that is, to let the scouts continue to explore the Hanzhong region along Shangyong, and once they found that an empty city appeared, the army following behind them would immediately rush over to occupy it.

Although the Northern Expedition Alliance discovered that the Demon Clan began to abandon the city a little earlier than the time when the Condor Army entered Hanzhong.

But Ning Yuan had known this result for a long time, the Condor Army had all come prepared, and the Northern Expedition Alliance had delayed some time due to the transmission of information and the deployment of troops, coupled with the relatively long distance, so they were still one step slower than the Condor Army in the end.

When the troops of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance occupied Zhuxi County, the vanguard of the Condor Army had also arrived in Pingli County, west of Zhuxi County.

After that, the scouts of the two forces encountered in the area between Zhuxi County and Pingli County.

After a fierce encounter, the Scouts of the Condor Army wiped out the Scouts of the Northern Expedition.

When the victorious Condor Army scouts came to Zhuxi County, the troops of the Northern Expedition Alliance were constantly rushing over.

After discovering that Zhuxi County had been occupied by the enemy, the Scout Team of the Condor Army immediately returned to Pingli County.

Soon, the news of the appearance of the Northern Expedition Alliance troops in Zhuxi County was transmitted to Ningyuan.

After learning that the Northern Expedition Alliance had really stepped in, Ning Yuan immediately dispatched 50,000 infantry, 50,000 elven rangers, and 50,000 owls to rush to the aid of Pingli County.

Since Sichuan had not yet been pacified, Ning Yuan did not want to start a large-scale war with the Northern Expedition Alliance for the time being, so his order to the Pingli County guard was to defend Pingli County to prevent the enemy from infiltrating the Hanzhong area.

If the enemy does not take the initiative to attack, the Condor Army stationed in Pingli County will not have to go into battle.

When Ning Yuan arranged for the Condor Army to defend Pingli County, the high-level leaders of the Northern Expedition Alliance had also learned the news that the Condor Army had appeared in the Hanzhong area.

After learning that the Condor Army had entered Hanzhong, Ye Ziqing immediately issued an order to the players of the Northern Expedition Alliance in Lanzhou and Jingyuan, asking them to immediately surrender to the Linhai Empire and let the Tiger Army cross the river.
