Before the township exam, the scholars often rush to the exam site half a year in advance. And in Huzhou City, there are not a few martial arts cultivators who are preparing to take the martial arts exam.

Song Zheng waved his hand: "Then arrange it according to the previous practice, and recruit some experienced brothers to take charge." If there is an occasion where the official needs to come forward, arrange it in advance, and the official will go. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Du Baihu also left, which is not a big deal. To be honest, Du Baihu doesn't look down on those martial arts cultivators who are born in martial arts. He has always felt that it is only the small sects, small families, and scattered cultivators who have no way out of the world that will come to Wuju to fight for a background.

When there were still nine days left before the Hongwu Wuju Township Test, the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty closed the Blazing Spring, a key place in the northeast, and a ball of flames soared up to the sky! The huge explosions and roars could be heard hundreds of miles away, and the earth cracked and shattered in the violent tremors, and the mountains collapsed.

Liequan Pass, a strategic fortress in the northeast direction of the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty, was blown up and collapsed by the ancient country of Huaxu with the "natural disaster-level" combat equipment "alien star", and there were 150,000 soldiers guarding the town in the pass, and no life survived!

The location of Liequan Pass is extremely important, and there are dozens of large-scale strange arrays arranged by the military wizards of the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty in the past dynasties, which can comprehensively block the invasion of the ancient kingdom of Huaxu.

The last reinforcement of Liequan Pass was Helian Lie. After he and Yun Chijing had a small battle at Liequan Pass, they knew that the ancient country of Huaxu would not give up, and Liequan Pass would become a battlefield sooner or later.

And now, Helian Lie is dead, and the people of the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty are panicking, and they don't know who else can resist the Heavenly Evil!

Fortunately, the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty and the ancient kingdom of Huaxu have been fighting for tens of thousands of years, and they are more prepared for each other. After Liequan Pass, it is not a flat place, and there are many strategic places such as Wuhou Pass, General Pass, and Lianyun Road that can be defended.

At the critical moment of life and death, the imperial court finally made a swift move, and within one day, quickly dispatched the ancestors and the town to send the elite of the forbidden army to the front line, including the fighting beast cultivators, all the way along the defense line.

The army of Huaxu Guguo stormed Wuhou Pass, and the battle was tragic.

However, on the third day of the loss of Liequan Pass, another army of the ancient kingdom of Huaxu, under the leadership of the heavenly clouds, suddenly crossed the Dalan River, crossed the Tianqing Gorge, and appeared in Jinju in the north.

Jinju is connected to Tongju, and three thousand miles to the south is Jingshi. Moreover, there are almost no heavy guards all the way from Tianqing Gorge to Jingshi, and the distance of three thousand miles is almost instantaneous for the cultivation army!

The court was in a panic, there were no generals in the court, there were no strong troops in the place, and they panicked to transfer the main force of the forbidden army to Jinzhou, in such a hurry, Yun Chijing had already taken his hundred battle king horses, led 300,000 Huaxu elite repair troops, all the way through Jinzhou, and killed the boundary bridge five hundred miles north of the Beijing division in half a day.

Jingshi is in danger, Hongwu is in danger!

Maybe it was really because the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty still had the last tail of luck, and Yun Chijing and the Hundred Battles King Cavalry were actually blocked at the Demarcation Bridge. A guerrilla general, with a rabble of 5,000, actually blocked Yun Chi's frightened troops.

This guerrilla general's name is Wei Taihe, a martial arts jinshi twenty years ago, and after twenty years, he was only a five-grade soldier, and he was still not taken seriously, and he was thrown to the boundary bridge to fend for himself.

Although the Demarcation Bridge is an important place in the northern part of the Jingshi, no one thinks that the world has been peaceful for so long, and there will be enemies who can kill the Demarcation Bridge. Guarding the demarcation bridge will not have any military merits, and it will not be able to be promoted.

At such a close distance from the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty's Jingshi, Yun Chijing no longer dared to use the strategy of overhauling the air to sneak attack. Any yard around here may be the home of an ancient family, and if you are not careful, you may poke a hornet's nest.

This time he is going to fight a battle to destroy the country!

In the Xiuzhen Realm, it is extremely complicated to carry out a battle to destroy the country, and the Zhenguo, Old Ancestor, and Tianzun under his command must concentrate within the scope of their own military formations in order to be able to connect their forces into a rock that will not be broken by others.

In the country of cultivation, a strong man in the town country may determine the outcome of a major war. Therefore, before the war of annihilation, ensuring that those primeval families of the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty would not interfere is also an important part of the entire war.

And Wei Taihe is backed by the large-scale spiritual array of the Beijing Division, and he cultivates his own magic skills and many strange schemes, and Yun Chi is shocked to use the Hundred Battles King Cavalry as the vanguard, these arrogant soldiers and fierce generals originally did not take this small demarcation bridge in their eyes, thinking that they could kill the enemy camp and level the fortress with a single charge.

Unexpectedly, this time, it was like a big wave crashing into the reef, and his head was bleeding suddenly.

The incomparably precious Hundred Battles King Cavalry killed six people in this charge and raid, and almost all of them were killed by Wei Taihe and one person! Yun Chi was shocked and heartbroken, and restrained the Hundred Battles King Cavalry from acting without authorization, and then personally brought a large army to fight.

But he was trapped outside the demarcation bridge for three whole days.

No matter what method he used, Wei Taihe always had a way to deal with it, sometimes it was a very dishonorable method, but it was able to block the enemy army.

In the past three days, for the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty, the elite of the forbidden army has been transferred back, and the troops of King Qin from all over the country have also arrived one after another, and Yun Chi's strategic sneak attack has been broken.

The two sides were bogged down in a protracted and brutal positional war.

Song Zheng got the news and suddenly understood: why Yun Chijing seemed to be wandering in the Divine Ember Mountain Peerless Domain for so long with nothing to do.

From Liequan Pass all the way to Jingshi, this is the most convenient route for the ancient country of Huaxu to march into Hongwu. You can avoid some dangerous areas in the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty, but there are also many fortresses on this road, and it is not easy to really hit the Jingshi.

But without this path, it is more difficult elsewhere. The two countries have been at war for many years, and if there was a feasible alternative path, this route would have been abandoned long ago.

However, Yun Chi was shocked in the Divine Ember Mountain Domain, but found a roundabout key: the Great Lan River and the Azure Gorge.

In the past, the famous generals of the ancient country of Huaxu did not think of breaking into the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty from the Shenshen Mountain Absolute Domain, but the Shenshen Mountain is too dangerous, and those desolate beasts and reckless insects on the land are not to mention, there are many big rivers on this road, and the desolate beasts in the water are even more terrifying, and even the sky above the river is a forbidden place, they can shoot special water arrows, or collapse the void on the river with their natal powers.

The aquatic beasts are even larger and more ferocious.

Yun Chi was shocked to see if there was an opportunity near Huangtai Fort under the heavenly fire, but he accidentally discovered Tianqing Gorge, which was originally the habitat of a powerful desolate beast "Tai Desolate Dire Crocodile", this kind of desolate beast is as high as the ninth order, and the king of it is probably already a high-level spirit beast, and they are group desolate beasts, the entire Azure Gorge, it is estimated that there are hundreds of Desolate Dire Crocodiles.

However, every ten years, there will be a period of time, and the Taihuang Dior Crocodile will go up the Dalan River to mate and lay eggs in a special inlet, and the entire Tianqing Gorge will be empty.

After Yun Chi was sure of this, he began to wander in the Divine Ember Mountain, using Azure Gorge as a key node to find a relatively safe march route from the Peerless Domain.

After making all these preparations, he divided his troops into two routes, and the main force of one million cultivators blew up the Liequan Pass with a sneak attack of the "extraterrestrial star", attracting the main force of the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty, while he took the real elite 300,000 and quickly passed through the Shenyan Mountain and appeared in Jinzhou, and the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty was caught off guard and was in chaos.

Song Zheng suddenly thought of Yan Que: "The last incident, could it be Yun Chijing's handiwork? Do everything possible to gain a strategic advantage before the big war."

If it succeeds, the Huaxu Ancient Kingdom will have an elder-level internal response, and if it fails, it will only lose a high-level secret spy and a dark moth.

Compared with the national war, such losses are negligible. ”

When he thought about it again, he really felt like Yun Chi's style.

And in the Yanque incident, the elder-level cabinet elder who would be bribed has not been found out so far, and even Xiao Zhen is at a loss for it.

And at the moment of the war, this possible "internal response" has become a shadow hanging over the head of Hongwu Tianchao.

Wei Tai and the Boundary Bridge had a stunning battle, which made the world's martial arts raise their eyebrows. At the head of the national crisis, the first priority is military affairs, and the martial arts suddenly changed from being ignored to being highly valued!

His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care about any birthdays, so let's get past the current hurdle first.

Originally, the emperor was still a little distressed about money, but Long Yiwei commanded Xiao Zhenjin and said: "There are capable officials under Song Zheng, who have a sacred heart and can do things, and there is not only the Ouye family in this world." ”

The emperor "heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning", understood it in his heart, and immediately waved his pen and splashed a lot of rewards, so that the non-commissioned officers and soldiers used their lives to drive the Huaxu enemies and bandits out of our Heavenly Empire.

Xiao Zhen pit his subordinates, and there was actually a little schadenfreude in his heart: the official is also helpless.

......

On the Jiangnan side, the holy decree came several times one after another, and strictly ordered Long Yiwei to inspect the five states in the south of the Yangtze River, and Song Zheng urged all states to select martial artists to participate in the martial arts, so that the martial arts could reach a momentum that was on par with the literary exercises.

The national crisis is at the head, and doing so has not attracted any criticism. On the contrary, there was a positive response from all over the world. Originally, those great families and great sects didn't want to let the truly outstanding disciples of their sects follow the path of martial arts, but now with Wei Tai and Zhuyu in front, coupled with His Majesty's rich rewards for martial arts, they also began to change their attitudes and ordered the first-class children in the family to sign up for martial arts.

Song Zheng suddenly became busy, and the Wuju Township Test in the Five Prefectures was really extraordinary. In Huzhou alone, there were originally only seventy or eighty people participating, but this suddenly increased to more than six hundred and seventy!

All the inns in Huzhou City are full, and martial cultivators with good family backgrounds can stay at the homes of relatives and friends, and the conditions are far better than inns. Those who have no roots and come late, can only squeeze into some broken temples and Taoist temples.

Song Zheng had a solid foundation in Huzhou City, Pinghulou took the lead, and the Pangong clan, Lianxian Sect, Yushan Sect and others responded positively, and quickly set up sixty-four rings near Taiji Lake, shrouded in strange arrays, for the selection of martial arts.

Bai Hejiu and Chen Lianlong worked together in Xizhou to arrange the Wuju Township test in an orderly manner. The other big forces in the three states who were interested in befriending Song Zheng also took this opportunity to make a good impression on the inspectors.
