"Lu Yuanwei's Divine Thunder Army has broken through the Fire Demon Clan's 'Red Yan Pass'. This is the Fire Demon Clan's first line of defense in the west."

"Now the Fire Demon Clan has to retreat to Daoqin Pass, the second line of defense."

"It's only been a month. This fucking retreat is three thousand miles away. Yang Qilin is such a waste!"

In the meeting hall, Liao Rulong was indignant.

Long Xiao was sandwiched between Chen Shijie and Zhao Xing. He looked around and asked in a low voice: "Who is he scolding? Why does it sound like a general of Zhou Dynasty to me? Isn't he talking about Lu Yuanwei?"

Chen Shijie shook his head: "I asked you to read more books, but you didn't listen at all."

Zhao Xing explained to Long Xiao: "The captain was scolding a tribal leader of the Fire Demon Tribe. As for why the foreign leader called him by the name of Da Zhou? It was purely because of Da Zhou's cultural invasion."

"During the period of Emperor Wen, there was no war between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Wilderness, and there were still commercial and cultural exchanges."

"The author who wrote "Chronicles of Strange Objects of the Southern Barbarians" was invited to visit the Southern Barbarians back then. He even went to see the interior of a grand pass like Huolong Pass."

"Many foreign races were given surnames and characters by Emperor Wen back then."

"The Fire Demon Clan also has a tribal chief, who was given the surname Ji by Emperor Wen."

Long Xiao wondered: "Then why is it called Yang Qilin?"

Chen Shijie continued: "The Holy Emperor was in Cheng'an. During the Yong'an period, he continued Emperor Wen's strategy of governing the country and also gave surnames to the tribes of the Fire Demon Tribe."

"But Your Majesty, you look down on the fire demon clan."

"How can a mere barbarian deserve to have a national surname?"

"So during the Cheng'an period, this tribe changed its surname to Yang again."

"The name Yang Qilin is a political product of that year."

"Back then, when he was still in his womb and the family name had not yet been chosen, he decided on the name of Da Zhou."

Long Xiao suddenly realized.

"Yang Qilin received a martial arts education from the barbarians since he was a child, and he also grew up under the influence of the Zhou ritual culture of the Middle-earth China."

"He also traveled to Anping Prefecture and Datong Prefecture, and studied in a Taoist academy. He was awarded the title of Barbarian General when he was seven years old."

"However, at the beginning of the Ding New Year, the Great Zhou Dynasty used force against the Southern Barbarians, and everything done before was naturally nullified."

"This abolishment directly deposed Yang Qilin, who was originally at the fifth level, to the seventh level. He has not fully recovered until now. He is only in the late Tiangang realm."

Zhao Xing knew why Liao Rulong was angry.

Although Yang Qilin has fallen into a lower realm, his insight, military ability, and personal abilities are all considered to be first-rate among barbarian generals.

Before the Pingman War started, he was considered a relatively difficult general by the armies of the Zhou Dynasty.

The Chiyan Pass on the west side that he guarded was naturally considered a tough nut to crack.

But how long has it been?

Lu Yuanwei penetrated the first line of defense. No wonder Liao Rulong scolded his mother.

"You are a person who deceives the world and steals his reputation!" Liao Rulong said. "The war between the east and the north has not officially started yet, but his side suffered a big defeat first."

"If I had known that this guy was so unbearable, I could have fucked him instead!"

This is bad news.

Lu Yuanwei fought too fast. If he and his team alone took over the Qinggang mining area, the armies on both sides of the northeast would have no choice but to pick up broken bones to eat.

The Qinggang Mining Area is a piece of meat that all armies want to eat. Liao Rulong was not so ambitious originally, but after the Wolf God Tribe was successfully defeated, he felt that he had a chance to get this piece of meat.

Coupled with what Zhao Xing said before, which made him feel that it would be easier to defeat Huolong Pass, Liao Rulong also thought about the Qinggang Mining Area.

However, Zhao Xing knew that it was not Yang Qilincai but Lu Yuanwei who was indeed a genius general.

Among all the sixth-grade generals in the five caves this time, Lu Yuanwei is the strongest in terms of luck, strength, and military command ability.

Zhao Xing thought for a while and said with relief: "Lu Yuanwei is good at using blitzkrieg. He was able to break through the first line of defense because Yang Qilin was not yet stable. Speaking of which, it was the aftermath of his attack on Prince Hal."

"Yang Qilin is cleaning up Prince Hal's mess, but it's not necessarily because he is weak."

"Besides, the depth of the Fire Demon Clan is completely different from the previous complete territory. The Divine Thunder Army cannot break through the second line of defense so quickly. Captain, please rest assured."

Pu Zhong also agreed with Zhao Xing's opinion: "Lu Yuanwei is brave, but the number of people he commands has also increased. Once a person becomes fat, it will become difficult to move flexibly and quickly."

"It is true that Lu Yuanwei is a genius, but he may not be able to continue to perform well in this kind of upright battle."

Zhao Xing remained silent.

In fact, Lu Yuanwei is really a rare commander-level talent who is capable of both good and evil. If nothing else happens, Yang Qilin will not be able to stop Lu Yuanwei for long.

On my side, I still have to hurry up and get the Fire Dragon Pass as soon as possible.

Once the Fire Dragon Pass is secured, it will be faster for the Shenwei Army to reach the Qinggang Mining Area.

On the day Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie arrived at Zhiyou City, Liao Rulong ordered the vanguard troops in front to launch several tentative attacks on Huolong Pass. In coordination, Wen Shaoyang's troops continuously harassed the guards of Huolong Pass.

It's impossible to really defeat him by beating him, and the attack won't be very effective.

But the purpose is to make these barbarians nervous.

I did it for half a month and then stopped.

Outside Zhiyou City, Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie were chatting while looking at the returning troops.

"Harassment basically has no big effect. Fire Dragon Pass is indeed a powerful pass. Dozens of our own people have died these days."

"On the barbarian side, only six people died, and they were killed by Pu Zhong and Wang Shilin."

Wang Shilin is Wen Shaoyang's counselor.

Zhao Xing couldn't help but was speechless.

Liao Rulong said it was a tentative attack, but he showed that he had done enough. He pulled over all the newly recruited 10,000 or 20,000 people.

In addition to testing the strength of the Fire Dragon Pass, there is also the idea of ​​​​running in these new soldiers.

There was only one real beating.

But the effect is particularly poor.

In the end, two counselors, Pu Zhong and Wang Shilin, stood above the building and cast two "anti-interference" spells, causing several barbarian leaders in the city to go crazy and kill their own people. This way they did not lose zero points in their enemy kill count.

Wen Shaoyang and Liao Rulong both retreated from Qianli Forge City.

However, this retreat was also part of the plan.

"After half a month of continuous harassment, our army has withdrawn to the junction of the Wolf God Tribe and the Fire Demon Tribe."

"This time we retreated farther. It looks like a real retreat after the attack failed."

"Now is the best time for us to take action."

Zhao Xing nodded: "Let's go, get on the flying boat."

When the army first came back, there was a small flying boat heading towards the Fire Dragon Pass.

There were a hundred people on board the small flying boat.

Just lurking in and stealing things doesn't require too many manpower.

These one hundred people were divided into five groups.

When it flew a hundred miles away from the Fire Dragon Pass, the flying boat landed and everyone landed.

The first group of Earth Warlock Battalion Commander Zhang Ying and Fire Warlock Battalion Commander Xu Quan each took their subordinates and began to send the remaining sixty people through the underground.

The barbarians also have magic masters, and there are even people patrolling underground.

In order to save the lurking team's physical strength, Zhang Ying and Xu Quan were responsible for covering their entry.

After the two men sneaked for fifty miles.

I dug a hole in the ground, stopped moving forward, and rested for half an hour.

Another group of members, led by 'Min Changhui', set off first and lurked to the south of Huolong Pass.

There are many areas where ground fire lotus is planted, and Min Changhui and his group are the backup team.

Half an hour later, Zhang Ying and Xu Quan continued to escort the remaining people and advanced another twenty miles.

The number of people in the underground space has decreased a lot.

"It can only be sent here."

"If we go further, we may be discovered." Zhang Ying and Xu Quan looked at Chen Shijie. "There are fire formations set up by the barbarians in front of us. The underground caves and access roads are all guarded."

Their abilities are limited and it is impossible to hide with people without alerting the underground guards.

"Thank you." Chen Shijie said, "Just wait here."

"Long Xiao, Zhao Xing, Yu Ziqi, let's go."

Yes, there were only four people who actually lurked in.

Long Xiao and Yu Ziqi are both sword cultivators, and they are also among the few seventh-grade sword cultivators in the Divine Power Army.

Taking them with you is like buying insurance. Chen Shijie and Zhao Xing are both magicians. If they encounter an encounter, they will easily be trapped and unable to escape.
