After Chinese New Year's Eve, Mu Qianmei quickly adjusted her state and began to devote herself to busy affairs again, she did not have much time to think about some personal things in life.

No one knows what she thinks about Liu Wuxian's arrival, in fact, few people know who Liu Wuxian is, in this world, probably only Ye Suifeng, Mu Qianmei and Bai Qianqian know the news, even Liu Wuxian himself doesn't know, and Liu Tingfeng doesn't know it for the time being.

It's spring, and everyone is even more nervous, because the army of the Demon Realm, which has been dormant for a winter, will start their aggression again.

No one knows who their next target will be, so every country is on full defense.

The wolf is coming, and the four kingdoms of the immortal realm that have fallen apart should deal with this powerful opponent?

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the operation of the Demon Realm army finally began, and they set out from the border of the former Beiyue Kingdom and launched a huge attack on the Longxiao Kingdom.

The battle of immortals and demons has started again.

For this choice of the Demon Realm, Mu Qianmei had expected it, and it was not very surprising to calculate, so the Xiyu Country she ruled still stood still and continued to spend her energy on internal development.

The other two countries breathed a sigh of relief.

Long Xiaoguo, who had already taken precautions, also raised a twelve-point spirit to meet the enemy.

Longxiao Country is not like the Beiyue Kingdom, as the most powerful country among the five countries of the Immortal Realm, they have no fear in the face of the army of the Demon Realm, and they fiercely resist in the border area.

The war between the two sides has been fierce since the beginning of the battle, and it is even tragic, it is a huge war of attrition.

After a winter of recuperation, the army of the Demon Realm has now recovered to an army of 100 million, of course, one-third of them are recruits, almost all of them are veterans, and the recruits are only used as reserves for the time being, participating in some logistical affairs, such as transporting grain and grass and treating the wounded.

Although I didn't participate in the battle, I was able to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield up close.

Long Xiaoguo was not to be outdone, after this period of preparation, there are now 40 million troops, of course, one-third of them are recruits.

The Demon Realm army temporarily sent 30 million frontal attacks, and after the Demon Venerable came to take charge, the frontal attack army was led by Ye Wuyue himself, but it encountered a fierce counterattack from the Longxiao Kingdom.

After five days of continuous attack, Ye Wuyue still did not advance an inch, and was blocked from the border of Longxiao Kingdom.

In five days, the Demon Realm army paid the price of five million casualties, and the casualties of Longxiao Kingdom were basically the same.

Several waves of strong attacks were fruitless, and the intensity of the attack was slowed down by Ye Wuyue, and a total of 30 million troops attacked on his side, and Longxiao Country also sent 30 million troops to defend it, which was considered an evenly matched battle.

Such a war of attrition, both sides felt unbearable, and Ye Wuyue did not intend to continue to consume like this, so he began to change his strategy, he was still forcing the main army of Longxiao Kingdom head-on, but no longer launched a large-scale strong attack, but began to lengthen the battle line, there were so many breakthroughs to choose from in the border area, he began to divide his troops and attack from different places.

In order to prevent them from attacking the territory, Longxiao Kingdom also had to divide its troops to block it, and the battle between the two sides changed the situation.

Both sides opened their fronts, and the battle was not very fierce, but they both held each other back.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Wuyue asked Tang Luo to lead an army of 10 million to open up another battlefield from a farther place.

Long Xiao Kingdom has no troops to send for the time being, in their deployment, 30 million main forces intercept the attack of the Demon Realm army at the border, and 20 million troops are guarding the rear layer by layer, forming five or six large defense lines, even if the front is defeated, a new defense line can be formed at any time in the rear, and continue to block the pace of the Demon Realm army.

With such consumption, they can still have a glimmer of life.

Moreover, when Long Chengyuan broke out in the war, he had already sent two teams of men and horses, one team asked for support from the Heavenly Thunder Country, and the other team quietly entered the Xue'an Forest, hoping that the living forces of the Beiyue Kingdom could come out of the mountain and resist the invasion of the Demon World army together with the Longxiao Kingdom.

Just like when the Northern Moon Kingdom was attacked, the Heavenly Thunder Kingdom only symbolically sent out an army of 500,000 troops, and the march was very slow, and it could not be reached in a short time.

The capital of the Northern Moon Kingdom had already taken refuge in the mountains, so he would not pay attention to Long Xiaoguo's request.

Yue Ruhong rejected Long Xiaoguo's request on the grounds that the heavy snow covered the mountain, the lack of food and grass, and the inconvenience of travel.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that the capital of the Northern Moon Kingdom has already existed in name only, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they still send troops out to rescue the Longxiao Kingdom?

When he destroyed the Beiyue Kingdom, the Longxiao Kingdom could not move, but symbolically sent hundreds of thousands of troops with weak combat effectiveness to assist, until the Beiyue Kingdom was forced to hide in the mountains, and did not send troops again, now the remnants of the Beiyue Kingdom, how can they fight for the Longxiao Kingdom?

Long Chengyuan didn't have support when the Southern Star Country was in trouble, and when the Xiyu Country was in a critical situation, he took the lead in withdrawing his troops, so naturally there was no reason to ask them for support.

As for Lingyun Pavilion, Long Chengyuan had no reason to ask for help, because their Long Xiao Kingdom had already withdrawn from the Five Nations Alliance. Scale Literature

Without reinforcements, Long Xiaoguo could only find a way to face the demon army by himself.

In fact, they are not without a backhand, Long Xiao Kingdom has secretly sent many monks and masters to infiltrate the territory of Xiyu Country during the stop, and has also planned several assassination operations against the leaders of the Demon Realm, but with little success.

The killer who assassinated the Demon Venerable and the Night Moonless couldn't even get close to them, and they had already been killed.

The assassination of the high-ranking generals of the Demon Realm was all resolved by the Demon Realm, and none of them succeeded, but they successfully assassinated a few middle generals and small leaders, and even assassinated a few civilian officials.

However, this kind of assassination had little impact on the overall situation, and did not achieve the effect they expected, but instead made the people in the Demon Realm even more angry, and their hostility towards Long Xiao Kingdom became a little stronger.

To say that the biggest gain, it was a team of killers from Longxiao Country who successfully hijacked Qu Lingfei, the little princess of the Demon Realm.

Qu Lingfei wanted to stay away from the war, so she hid in the ancient town of Xian Butterfly, planning to live a life there without fighting the world, and then return to the palace when the war was over.

However, unfortunately, her special identity still became one of the targets of Long Xiao Kingdom after all, and on the third day of the outbreak of the war, he was kidnapped by a group of men in black.

The masters who were secretly protecting her accompanied were also powerless in the face of the masters of Long Xiao Kingdom, and in the end, Qu Lingfei was successfully abducted by Long Xiao Kingdom.

When Tang Luo's 10 million army attacked as a surprise army, Long Xiaoguo took Qu Lingfei as a hostage and blocked Tang Luo's attack.

The breakthrough point chosen by Tang Luo is a border city in Longxiao Country, called Xichi County, which is a relatively remote and backward city in Longxiao Country, and the usual defense is not strict, because this area is full of mountains and mountains, and it is not suitable for marching.

When Long Xiaoguo knew that Tang Luo was going to attack from here, he urgently summoned the defenders of the surrounding cities and concentrated them in Xichi County, and the new soldiers and veterans had a total of five million troops.

Of course, it would be unrealistic to rely only on these five million troops to defend Xichi County, after all, Tang Luo led an elite army, and it was also an army of 10 million.

So, the hostages in the hands of Long Xiao Kingdom began to play a role, when Tang Luo came to the city gate of Xichi County, he saw that the city gate was closed, and there was a cross made of wood on the city wall, and a beautiful woman in purple was tied to it, it was Qu Lingfei, the little princess of Long Xiao Kingdom.

On both sides of the city wall, two rows of archers were arranged, looking like they were ready for battle.

The general guarding the city was a fifty or sixty-year-old veteran, he stood beside Qu Lingfei, and he was protected by a group of masters.

Far away, the old general shouted at Tang Luo:

"General Tang, we have been waiting for a long time, your little princess is in our hands, and she has not been harmed for the time being, but if you insist on attacking the city, we will not be able to guarantee his safety."

Tang Luo was still about seven or eight hundred meters away from the city gate, he looked up at Qu Lingfei who was tied to the wooden stake, and replied loudly:

"Using a weak woman as a hostage to block our attack, what kind of heroes are you, why should women be involved in the war between men?"

"You have the ability, you let our little princess go, we fight fairly, win or lose by our true ability!"

The veteran said unmoved:

"You have an army of 10 million, and we only have 5 million, where is a fair battle?"

"I don't have any hostages in my hands, her life and death are in your hands, if you retreat, he will be safe and sound, if you attack, she will soon die, you decide for yourself!"

At this moment, Qu Lingfei looked at Tang Luo and said loudly:

"General Tang, don't have any worries, although I let go of the attack, I was originally against this war, but now I have changed my mind, Long Xiao Kingdom is so unscrupulous, it should attack them, I don't have to worry about my life and death alone, don't be coerced by them."

Before Tang Luo could answer, the old general of Long Xiao Kingdom had already said:

"Haha...... is worthy of being the little princess of the demon world, in order for the demon world to win the war, she can actually treat death as home, such a spirit is really admirable, singing and crying! ”

"General Tang, such a sensible princess who takes care of the overall situation, are you really willing to watch her die in front of you?"

Tang Luo didn't answer the veteran's words, but said loudly to Qu Lingfei:

"Princess Ling Fei, don't be afraid, we will definitely be able to rescue you safely."

When he had finished speaking, he turned to the old general and asked:

"Your Excellency is the general who defends the city, and my Tang Luo's subordinates never kill unknown people, please report your name?"
