The envoy of Xingchang County jumped into the main hall in a hurry, ready to report to His Majesty the fruits of the victory-recently, the entire Qixia Country, including Wu Fanghai, has been losing the battle, and we are winning the battle. You see, what a matter of face.

So, don't mention the envoy's excitement. He didn't see that the one sitting on the throne was already Her Royal Highness the princess in a red uniform. Or rather, he didn't see anything with his eyes at all right now - completely out of focus, he was just full of excitement and wanted to convey this exciting news.

But Ouyang Qingque's voice made the envoy sober up. He stopped, his eyes widened, and he looked hard for a long time:

Yo, it's a replacement!

What's the situation?

That's a princess, right?

What about the Emperor?

The messenger's head was a little dazed. If you look closely, everyone in the court has a weakened hemp tied to their left and right arms—these two emperors have gone one after another, and one arm is not enough.

The messenger looked at this strange scene and was stunned for a while, am I ...... Shouldn't you get too excited?

In fact, Ouyang Qingque's voice came down, and the atmosphere in the entire court froze. And Ouyang Si was even more frightened by his sister: Why are you so dead-eyed!

"Ahem!" Ouyang Si coughed twice, "That, the matter of Xingchang County, continue to report." ”

"Oh...... Yes, yes. The envoy spoke in a bit of a daze, told the matter of Xingchang County, and finally emphatically said:

"Your Highness, before the subordinates, the county guard specially explained, we now have more than 100,000 prisoners in our hands, and the county guard is ready to exchange prisoners with the country of Jinyang. But how to exchange, the county guard did not dare to make decisions without permission. ”

After Liu Xinyu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. As soon as he took power, he encountered such a 'good thing'.

What is this? This is providence!

But after the excitement, Liu Xinyu immediately ordered: "You go back and tell Gu Xingdong that this king will exchange prisoners with the country of Jinyang in Xingchang County."

As for the time...... You come according to the strategic plan, and when you are ready, you will come back and let you know.

The military department is still in Tiegan, and you go to Xingchang County to coordinate this matter. ”

"Yes. Yu Tiegan immediately received the order and followed the messenger away.

It is equivalent to Tie Gan leaving, Liu Xinyu thought about it and ordered: "Let Wu Fanghai stabilize the battle line, and the forces around Jiuyang Sect will begin to retreat, and take everything that can be taken away." ...... that can't be taken away Destroy! and cut off all communication with the Jiuyang Sect in the surrounding area, isolating the location of the Jiuyang Sect.

If you have the opportunity, you can try to launch some attacks on the Jiuyang Sect to hit the subsidiary forces and military forces of the Jiuyang Sect.

There is also Wuyang County to speed up the retreat, there must be no mistake. ”

After a pause, Liu Xinyu suddenly turned his head to look at Hu Yinglan next to him, "Hu Yinglan, you go to Ninghe County to see how the military forces in Ninghe County are prepared."

If you are ready, let Liu Jingming lead the army to attack the Jiuyang Sect. The main thing is to use artillery to destroy the mountain gate of the Jiuyang Sect, etc., even if you can't defeat the Jiuyang Sect, you have to let the Jiuyang Sect ...... There must be no peace! We must make it impossible for the Nine Yang Sect to intervene in the war!"

"Yes!" Hu Yinglan also left.

Liu Xinyu glanced at the court again, his gaze paused slightly on Ouyang Qingque, but he quickly crossed Ouyang Qingque - now, the country is still unstable, and Liu Xinyu knows very well that it is not the time to 'settle accounts'.

In the end, Liu Xinyu's gaze fell on Su Ming, the head of the household. "Su Ming, what's going on with the treasury?"

Su Ming immediately stepped out: "Your Highness, because of the purchase of pills at any cost, the spirit stones and others are almost exhausted. But pills, etc., can last for three months. Coupled with the pills provided by the country of Canglan, it is expected to last for eight months.

And most of the magic weapons, magic weapons, etc., are now provided by Ninghe County, and they are temporarily ...... Hassle-free. ”

Liu Xinyu took a deep breath, once upon a time, a powerful country had only 'a few months of life' left. Liu Xinyu looked up at the roof, his eyes seemed to see through the house, the white clouds, and the endless void.

After a while, Liu Xinyu said slowly: "Everyone, work hard." There is no need to say much about the situation now, the country of Qixia has lost a third of its territory. ”

............

The morning sun had risen, and Zhang Hao greeted the rising sun with a faint smile on his face, but there was an indescribable heaviness in the smile.

Zhang Hao stood at the head of the city and first saw Huang Mingshan and others finishing their work. Last night, Feng Zhiling manipulated the flying boat back to Zhang's house, bringing Huang Mingshan and others with him, as well as a full 50 tons of explosives!

Dynamite is very simple to make, just mix well. Not cumbersome to make like a cannonball. Even these rushed explosives have not been purified - the whole pursuit of quantity is pursued.

At this time, Huang Mingshan and others had already buried a full fifty tons of explosives into the ground. That's definitely a crazy number.

Seeing that Huang Mingshan and the others began to retreat, Zhang Hao turned his head to look outside the city wall again, and saw from a distance that the attacking troops began to return, and these troops brought back a large amount of supplies. And the coolies who transported it, of course, were the native residents of the country of Jinyang, including the captives.

In the past day or so, in almost 30 hours, the army of Xingchang County swept across a radius of 500 miles.

On the side of the country of Jinyang, large and small families, trading houses, wealthy families, and government offices were purged, and most of those who had cultivated beyond the foundation period were killed, and the army and officials were taken away as prisoners and transported supplies by the way. After that, the army also ambushed a lot of reinforcements from the country of Jinyang by encircling the point and sending reinforcements.

For the country of Jinyang, this was a completely unexpected war and disaster, and the defenders, junior generals, officials, etc. in many places could not react until they died.

It's so sudden!

Don't underestimate the officials and generals in small places, they are all foundations, without which the rule of a region can be paralyzed by more than 70 percent.

The reason why it is so crazy is because Zhang Hao and the others know very well that everyone is taking advantage of a sneak attack, and it is impossible to hold this level. So, what everyone has to do now is ...... Utter destruction! Leave a mess for the country of Jinyang, and use it to buy time for your own country.

Originally, the plan was intended to cause disaster, but the actual implementation was always different from the plan. After all, there is still some foundation on the side of the country of Jinyang, and the resistance is still relatively strong.

At dawn today, the Kingdom of Jinyang finally organized more than a dozen legions and pressed from all directions.

After confirming the news, the armies of the country of Qixia began to return one after another, each of which brought back a large amount of resources and a large number of prisoners.

Zhang Hao was watching, but saw Guan Zhengqing flying back excitedly, still holding a person in his hand. When he came to the city wall, Guan Zhengqing threw the man to the ground.

Zhang Hao was a little curious, seeing that this person was dressed luxuriously, it was not simple at first glance...... "Who is this? it can't be a prince or something, right?"

"No, it's the county guard of Yunhai County. After this Yunhaiguan, there is Yunhai County, which is the westernmost county in the country of Jinyang. We've all hit the county, and the county hasn't had time to raise its defenses. Haha, when I caught this guy, I just got up from the concubine's bed to look for pants. ”

Zhang Hao: ......

There were more and more returning troops, everyone was discussing excitedly, and there were even a few guys with girls on their shoulders. The army did not stop in the city, and went directly south through the checkpoint.

Zhang Hao looked at the struggling and crying girls and frowned slightly.

Guan Zhengqing saw it and patted Zhang Hao's shoulder: "Turn a blind eye, soldiers must always have a thought when they are born and die." Moreover, do you think that the army of the Kingdom of Jinyang entered our country, and they all did not commit any crimes?"

Zhang Hao took a deep breath and looked up slightly into the distance - he didn't want to look at what was happening at hand.

Zhang Hao knows very well that war is naturally indispensable, but he still can't bear to witness it. Unable to help it, Zhang Hao said softly: "There are many intelligent beings in this world, but only our human race itself will wantonly conquer our own land. ”

Guan Zhengqing looked sideways at Zhang Hao, and finally nodded slowly: "Maybe." But so what? We don't want to fail, we don't want to be slaves to the country, we can only fight!

This war was not provoked by us.

If there's a mistake, it's not ours either!"

Zhang Hao didn't say anything, just quietly looked into the distance.

Everything is going according to plan. By noon, the army had almost completely withdrawn, looting countless supplies and prisoners. The army did not stop, and directly withdrew from Yunhaiguan, leaving an empty city.

However, after a full set of acting, Zhang Hao and others retreated, but Dugu Junjie, Gu Xingdong and others led more than 10,000 elites to defend the city.

High in the sky, Zhang Hao's last glance before leaving, what he saw was a black army coming from the east. Because it was too far away, I saw a black line.

The country of Jinyang temporarily formed an unknown number of thousands of troops rushed angrily.

But they were greeted by artillery.

When they were still ten kilometers away from the checkpoint, the artillery began to greet them.

Zhang Hao only saw this, and was led by Feng Zhiling and flew away from a high altitude, and the main force of the army retreated to Huaishan Pass in the south. Compared with the lonely Yunhai Pass, Huaishan Pass is completely in the sphere of influence of Xingchang County and is easy to defend. The army will completely occupy Huaishan Pass and establish a new defensive line at Huaishan Pass.

After flying for a while, Zhang Hao looked down at the earth, the main force of the legion was nearly 200,000, holding almost 120,000 prisoners, as well as a large amount of supplies, and advancing unhurriedly. The procession stretched for more than 20 kilometers, like a long black dragon winding through mountains, river valleys, and flat land.

Everyone talked and laughed, and from time to time drove the captives to transport the baggage, and there was not the slightest worry about the frenzied legions of the Jinyang Country in the rear.

............

When Zhang Hao and the other armies disappeared, Dugu Junjie and Gu Xingdong stood at the head of Yunhaiguan, looking at the Jinyang National Alliance Army that was pressed by the black pressure in front of them, listening to the constantly roaring artillery next to them, Dugu Junjie had some pointers:

"The enemy estimates that there are 130,000, not more than 150,000. But this time the incident happened suddenly, and the troops of the Kingdom of Jinyang, who had been temporarily pulled up, were afraid that they did not have much combat effectiveness.

It can't be said to be a rabble, but it's by no means an elite.

You say, how long can they hold out under artillery fire?"

Gu Xingdong looked at it for a while, but his face was more serious: "I think they can hold out to the city wall." You see, they scattered.

They did not find a way to defend themselves against artillery for the time being, but at least they found a way to reduce casualties. ”

Dugu Junjie saw it, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared: "Sure enough, you can't underestimate any enemy." ”

At this time, the army of the Kingdom of Jinyang was in a group of 100 people, maintaining the posture of a defensive battle formation, and slowly approached Yunhaiguan, and the distance between each group was twenty or thirty meters.

Not only that, but the direction of the squad is no longer straight, but a serpentine route, which makes the artillery more difficult to aim. Although it slowed down their progress a lot.

Dugu Junjie's pupils gradually contracted, but the next moment, he smiled again: "The artillery will suspend the attack and wait for the enemy to get close before fighting." I don't believe that they can still maintain this formation under the city walls!"

Gu Xingdong also had a smile on his face. Yes, the area under the walls was limited compared to the vastness of the front, and if they continued to maintain such a loose formation, they would not be able to launch an effective attack on the walls, and if they wanted to launch an effective attack, they had to assemble.

Gu Xingdong's smile grew: "It's interesting! I don't know who the other party's commander is, I really want to see his expression at this time." By the way, how many shells do we have?"

"180!" Dugu Junjie said without hesitation.

"Do you want to keep some?" Gu Xingdong said with some hesitation.

"No, I don't. In the past few days, 1,000 shells have been replenished in the rear. There is no shortage of shells at Huaishan Pass. ”

"That's good!" Gu Xingdong showed his snow-white teeth, and there seemed to be a cold light flashing in his teeth.

The muzzle of the cannon slowly lowered, and the five first-generation guns left here were always aimed at the legions of the country of Jinyang. Artillery is not completely inaccessible, as long as there is a chance, everyone does not mind a wave.

What, if you're idle, you're idle! When you're bored, shoot a few shots......

Compared with the excitement of Dugu Junjie and Gu Xingdong, the commander of the Kingdom of Jinyang frowned. The commander of this incident is none other than He Dongqi. Since the failure of the last mission in Xinglin Hall, He Dongqi was reprimanded by the Emperor.

This time it happened suddenly, and the country of Jinyang is actually not very rich - in fact, after a series of plans, the country of Jinyang is also a little tight. For a while, there was a bit of a 'no general available' situation.

The Emperor of the Kingdom of Jinyang thought for a long time and had to send He Dongqi to fight again. In the face of this sudden incident, He Dongqi had to hurriedly transfer troops from all directions, and before he even had time to rectify, he ordered the teams from all over the country to come in a hurry.

Fortunately, He Dongqi also has some talent, he actually reorganized the army during the march and tried to run in different armies.

And on the way forward, He Dongqi is also thinking about how to deal with the artillery that appeared out of thin air in the country of Qixia. After thinking about it, I really came up with a simple and effective way - scattering.

However, during the march, it was no problem to disperse, but seeing that he had arrived at Yunhaiguan, He Dongqi was worried-if he wanted to attack the checkpoint, he had to gather a large army. And to assemble a large army, you will have to face an artillery attack!

Not only was he entangled for a moment, He Dongqi suddenly found a problem - there was no protective barrier in the level ahead!

Looking at the collapsed and unrepaired city gate, He Dongqi suddenly patted his head: "What are you thinking, you think too much! Facing the defensive barrier every day, suddenly there is a level without a defensive barrier, and I didn't even notice it!"

Cavalry!"

"Here!" replied the cavalry general.

"Siege!"

"Ah...... Cavalry siege?" The cavalry general was stunned. "General, our mounts are either dragon horses or ordinary demon horses, barely able to take off in the air, but not flexible. ”

"It's okay, didn't you notice that the other party doesn't have a defensive enchantment. And I will personally lead the masters to suppress the formation for you. ”

The cavalry was ready, and He Dongqi let out a long roar, "All those above the Jindan stage will form a formation." Dragon Formation!"

Tens of thousands of people gathered in the sky, and they formed a long snake formation, which was a huge battle formation about two thousand meters long, and tens of thousands of people pushed towards the city wall like ocean waves. Everywhere he passed, the wind and clouds rolled, and a thousand-meter-high wind rolled up between the heavens and the earth, with no end in sight.

The wind kicked up dirt and rubble and broke trees.

On the city wall, Dugu Junjie and Gu Xingdong saw this and glanced at each other. Gu Xingdong calmly ordered: "Withdraw!"

Tens of thousands of people formed a battle formation and retreated in an orderly manner; several Yuan infancy raised their artillery and quickly retreated to the rear; while retreating, they attacked. On the clouds formed by the cultivators, the artillery fired.

That's right, in the sky, on the clouds and mist condensed by the cultivators, several Yuan Infancy staged artillery attacks together.

In addition to artillery, there are also a large number of bows and crossbows, and of course, runes and other attacks are indispensable.

Everyone fought and retreated, not in a hurry. After pursuing for more than ten kilometers, the masters of the Kingdom of Jinyang began to retreat. They were afraid that they would encounter an ambush if they continued their pursuit—they had recently been tormented by this legion of the Land of Qixia.

"Let's go back!" He Dongqi sighed, returned to Yunhaiguan, looked at the broken checkpoint, and sighed with emotion for a while.

"Fortunately, I finally recaptured the checkpoint!" a general next to him sighed, at least he could give an explanation to the emperor, to the country, and to the legions who fought in the country of Qixia.

He Dongqi looked around and nodded slowly, "You arrange for everyone to move in here, and I'll go around to see the situation." ”

After He Dongqi finished speaking, he flew to the periphery, he wanted to tell all the soldiers - we have won, the attack of the country of Qixia is just a counterattack on the verge of death, don't worry.

Morale needs to be encouraged, and some victories must be communicated to the soldiers. And He Dongqi also wanted to use this victory to complete the integration of different armies.

Sure enough, under the encouragement of He Dongqi, the morale gradually rose, and everyone entered the Yunhaiguan in an orderly manner, and even the team began to repair the city wall and defend the barrier.

Noon gradually came.

At this time, the sun shines directly on the earth.

............

Under the land of Yunhaiguan, in a place that no one could see or predict (on the side wall of the well), a beam of sunlight happened to be reflected onto a formation, and a flame formation suddenly worked.

With the ability of a cultivator, it is actually not difficult to simply arrange a simple, 'triggered' flame formation.

The flame formation was also very powerful, just lighting a candle-like flame. The flame was so faint that there were no aura fluctuations at all. Even if a Yuan Infant Master stood next to him, he couldn't find it.

On the ground, there are already fifty or sixty thousand troops moving in, and most of the people who are temporarily moving in are elites, including a large number of masters.

He Dongqi was still outside commanding the legion to stay at Yunhaiguan.

Suddenly, He Dongqi felt the ground tremble suddenly under his feet. Without waiting for him to react, he saw Yun Customs...... Burst into the sky.

Fierce flames erupted in the ground, and the entire level rose several feet high out of thin air, and the next moment the entire level shattered into a cloud of debris. The rocks shattered, and the human body turned into mist.

The clouds in the sky shattered and disappeared in an instant. Within a radius of three or two kilometers, all the plants and human bodies were shattered almost at the same time.

A shockwave like a ripple of water suddenly appeared like a translucent sphere that suddenly appeared, and expanded with lightning speed. Under the shockwave, the whole world is twisted and shattered.

The blast wave shattered, the mountain peaks collapsed, and the soldiers outside the city walls shattered like air balloons, turning into a mist of blood.

The speed of the shock wave has far exceeded the speed of sound.

When He Dongqi was stunned, the shock wave had just appeared, and after a blink of an eye, his vision was full of this shock wave, as if the whole world was covered with ripples.

He Dongqi was stunned, what's wrong?

In the next moment, the shockwave swept by.

He Dongqi activated the treasure armor almost instinctively, but the next moment he only felt that his head was buzzing, and the sky was spinning, and the foundation of the Yuan Infant Stage could not resist such an impact, and he hit the ground headlong.

At this moment, He Dongqi couldn't see, hear, or even feel. He seems to be cut off from the world, and the world around him is in chaos.

There was only an infinite screeching sound, like an arrow piercing into the brain, piercing into the internal organs, destroying the foundation of his infancy. Then, He Dongqi vaguely felt that his body seemed to be torn, but he was numb and didn't feel any pain.

I don't know how long it took, He Dongqi faintly felt it, and he could finally feel his body, hands and feet.

"Not dead yet?" He Dongqi barely ran the Yuan Baby, and gradually felt a little warmth in his body, and his physical strength recovered a little, he struggled to get up, wiped his face, but was shocked to find that his face was covered with blood.

In the eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears, there was blood flowing out, and He Dongqi was like a ghost at this time, but unfortunately he couldn't see his own image.

And the treasure armor on He Dongqi's body is like broken porcelain, full of cracks, and every time He Dongqi moves, fragments fall.

It is also thanks to Yuan's strong body in infancy, and thanks to He Dongqi's last instinctive activation of the treasure armor. But even so, He Dongqi only felt that he couldn't lift his strength, and only felt that from his soul to his body, he had been emptied and crushed countless times.

He shook his head, but he felt the world spinning, barely wiping the blood from his eyes, and barely looking up, but he was completely stunned.

This is...... Is it the end of the world?

A mushroom cloud has rushed up tens of thousands of meters into the air, even exceeding the height of Baiyun.

Around the mushroom cloud, the white clouds within a radius of hundreds of miles all disappeared, and there was only a tumbling, ugly mushroom cloud in the middle. The surrounding white clouds are wavy and spread outward in circles.

The former Yunhaiguan has completely disappeared, and there is only a tumbling, black-yellow-brown dirt and soot, and nothing can be seen clearly.

Not only that, but the dirt and smoke spread out like a violent wind, forming a gloomy storm.

The peaks on both sides seemed to have been gnawed by monsters, and half of them collapsed. As far as the eye could see, there was a bloody corpse, and all vegetation had disappeared. The ground was scraped off.

Seeing the storm sweeping in, He Dongqi couldn't stand up. He barely managed to touch the storage ring on his hand, only to find that the storage ring was full of cracks. Carefully opened the storage ring, only to hear a shattering sound, the storage ring was completely broken, and some items fell out.

He Dongqi randomly found some pills and stuffed them into his mouth, then put some pills in his arms, and reluctantly walked out. At every step, blood flowed down. The surface of his body, like porcelain, is densely covered with fine cracks.

The pill barely brought a little physical strength, but it was finally caught up by the storm. He Dongqi is like a leaf in a storm, and he can't help himself. From time to time it was thrown into the sky, and from time to time it rolled on the ground.

During the roll, He Dongqi was lucky to fall into a crater.

"Ahem......" He Dongqi lay on his stomach in the crater, struggling. If it weren't for the foundation of the Yuan Infant Period, I was afraid that I would have already died at this time. But it's not good at this time.

The pain gradually emerged, and the inside and outside of the body seemed to be on fire, and the pain was indescribable. And the medicinal effect of the pill began to play again, and in repairing the body, a kind of numbness and itching penetrated into the bone marrow and soul.

"Ah......h

The world seems to be as quiet as death.
