"Be careful and never underestimate the Ming army! The emperor said that Jiang Yao has a flying mirror that can lead 10,000 people to suddenly appear behind our army."
"But don't worry, the emperor also said that the Feitian Mirror cannot be used at will, and can only teleport one round trip per month. Jiang Yao can only teleport ten thousand people in a month."
Long Muhuang warned the generals and comforted him again.
Fortunately, the emperor said that the treasure can only be sent back and forth once in a month. If it can be used casually, then there is no need to fight this battle.
Although she has many killer weapons, Jiang Yao must also have them. The emperor reminded her that Jiang Yao has many powerful magic weapons, not just the Flying Mirror.
Theoretically, if Jiang Yao has the Flying Mirror, he can lead 10,000 people to suddenly appear at the foot of Mishui Pass and catch the Yin army by surprise.
This is also what worries her the most.
So she had already sent a message to alert the Yin army at Meishui Pass.
"General." Suddenly a marching general reported.
"There is news that Jiang Yao did not use the Flying Mirror, but instead personally led 30,000 Wuzhen and set off in a spaceship first."
"He didn't use the Flying Mirror?" Long Muhuang was a little surprised.
"Yes, the emperor said that the Feitian Mirror can only take away 10,000 people, and 10,000 people can't conquer Mishui Pass unless there are 10,000 Martial Gods. Unfortunately, Jiang Yao doesn't have 10,000 Martial Gods."
"He dares to use a spaceship to march. Is he really in a hurry?"
Long Muhuang had always been cautious in using troops, and he did not dare to conclude that Jiang Yao really took the risk of using the spaceship just for the sake of a quick march.
"Explore again!"
"No matter how anxious the Ming army is, we are not in a hurry. As long as Weishui Pass can be defended for a few days, we, the Qing Dynasty, will be able to take the initiative."
………
But it shows that after Wang Jiangyao made a rough adjustment, he personally led 30,000 Wuzhen troops, gathered all the transport spacecraft in the army, and took the lead in flying to Mishui Pass.
The large group of men and horses were handed over to Qin Yu and rode forward.
Moreover, the Ming army's division of troops was not secretive at all. They just wanted to use the speed of the spacecraft to seize the Mishui Pass.
One of the most brilliant tactics is to mobilize the enemy.
It's a fleet of spaceships in the light, and it's a flying mirror in the dark!
However, it will not work if you use the Flying Mirror too early, or if you use it too late. If you want to mobilize the Qing army to the maximum extent, you must use the best time.
Meishui Pass is 600,000 miles away from Lishan County, and 30,000 Wuzhen can arrive in two or three days by airship.
However, the vast majority of Ming troops who did not have spaceships could only ride horses, which would take at least ten days.
The number of spaceships is scarce, the refining cost is expensive, and a large amount of spiritual jade is consumed during flight. Since ancient times, it has not been a means of transporting troops on a large scale.
Just these spaceships have already consumed all the Ming Dynasty’s possessions.
There is another big drawback to transporting troops by spaceship.
That is: danger!
The Ming army passed through the dangerous Fanshan Forest this time, with very few casualties. That was because they were protected by a large military battlefield and were not afraid of various dangers in the forest.
However, the airship and troop transport fleet could not arrange military formations, and thus could not form a powerful comprehensive battle field.
In other words, although the transportation speed of the spaceship fleet is fast, it does not have the protection of the battlefield!
Soldiers and horses without the protection of the battlefield, flying in the air on a large scale, can easily cause various accidents. In particular, they can cause attacks from the void beasts.
Jiang Yao seemed to be in a hurry when he took such a risk.
Soon, Qing army commander Long Muhuang received news again that Jiang Yao's spaceship fleet had arrived over Weizhou.
It seemed like they were marching in a hurry regardless of the consequences.
Not long ago, the Ming army encountered attacks from a herd of void beasts and even an attack from void ghosts, and lost some spaceships.
But Jiang Yao still insisted on using a fleet of spaceships to make the journey.
"General, Jiang Yao must be really anxious." Deputy Commander Fu Ankang said, "He must also have seen the intention of the general, so he also wants to seize Meishui Pass."
"Using a fleet of spaceships to risk transporting troops is his only chance."
"General, think about it, he must have brought not only 30,000 people, but probably 40,000!"
Long Muhuang nodded, "Mr. Fu is right, and I have also thought of this. The other 10,000 people must be in Qin Yu's hands, although they can be teleported with the flying mirror."
"This is what worries me the most. If Jiang Yao arrives at Mishui Pass first to attack the city, what if 10,000 people suddenly appear in Pi City?"
"The city of Pi is not as important as the Guan Shui Pass, and the Yin army must not have many troops. Then, the ten thousand Ming army may suddenly capture the city of Pi."
What? Raid the Viper City behind Meishui Pass?
Weicheng is a mountain city in Yinfu, not far from Mingshui Pass and not far from Yinfu Juncheng.
Fu Ankang and others looked stern when they heard Long Muhuang's words.
That's right. It is indeed difficult for the Ming army to quickly capture the Mingshui Pass, but why must Jiang Yao do so?
He has the magic weapon of the Flying Mirror, so he can completely skip the Minshui Pass and directly raid the Yinshu city behind the Minshui Pass!
As long as ten thousand Wu Zhen troops appear, the weak city of Yin will immediately fall! Because the main force of Yin's army is concentrated at Mishui Pass.
However, what if the Ming army captured the useless Viper City? What can be changed? It seems to be a useless move.
"Your Majesty, my servant doesn't quite understand." A general asked, "The Ming army has tens of thousands of people. What's the use of taking down the Viper City behind Meishui Pass? It won't have much impact on the battle situation."
"How much can these ten thousand soldiers do behind the Yin clan? When my army arrives, won't they want to escape?"
Even veteran Fu Ankang didn't quite understand why Concubine Long Guifei was worried about the Ming army's attack on the city.
Long Muhuang pondered and said: "Because I have information, all the families of the Yin clan's monarchs and ministers have been secretly placed in Jicheng!"
"Although it is a secret, since I can know it, Jiang Yao may also know it. If he knows it and happens to have the Flying Mirror in his hand, do you think he will raid Viper City?"
What? The family members of the emperor and ministers of the Yin clan are not in the imperial city of Yintian City, nor in the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Mishui Pass, but in the small city of Pi?
Immediately, Fu Ankang and others understood.
If the family members are placed in Juncheng, the Yin clan will not trust the Qing army, fearing that the family members will be detained by the Qing army. After all, the conditions for returning to the Qing have not been negotiated yet.
If the family members were placed in Meishui Pass, if Meishui Pass was breached by the Ming army, wouldn't they be buried together in a pot without even a chance to escape?
Therefore, the viper city secretly placed in the middle is the best.
The distance is neither far nor close. It will not be detained by the Qing army, nor will it be taken advantage of after breaking through the customs. There is always a chance to transfer.
If Yinbo can keep it completely secret and if Jiangyao doesn't have the Feitian realm, this is indeed a safe arrangement.
It's a pity that Long Muhuang knew. Since she knew, she didn't dare to conclude that Jiang Yao didn't know.
"Should we remind the Yin family members to take their families to Mengshuiguan?" Fu Ankang asked with a frown.
Long Muhuang shook his head with a cold expression, "Maybe it's too late."
As she spoke, she sent out a flying message.
Before Master Yin could reply, she ordered: "Gather all the spaceships in the army and set off with me first!"
"The Ming army has probably raided the city of Yin and controlled the families of the Yin clan's monarchs and ministers. We can't wait any longer!"
Originally, time was on her side, but if the Ming army captured the families of Yin clan monarchs and ministers, would she still have time?
"It is very likely that we will have to fight the Ming army at Mingshui Pass."
Even if she had the advantage in strength, she had wanted to wait until the anti-Qing riots were suppressed and reinforcements arrived before launching a decisive battle.
This was safer. Just because the enemy opposite was Jiang Yao, she wasn't sure.
But if the Ming army forced the Yin clan to surrender, then she would have no choice but to change her plan and have to fight decisively.
Soon, all the spaceships of the Qing army were gathered together. Long Muhuang hurriedly led 50,000 level 4 (Wuzhen) elites in a fleet of spaceships to go first.
Now you have to take risks and grab time.
Jiang Yao dared to risk using a fleet of spaceships to transport troops, so she could only take risks.
………
Meishui Pass is a famous Guanshan giant city in the southern region and a key to transportation.
Suobi Mountain and Fengshui are sealed, with majestic momentum and strict formations.
Above the tall and majestic Guancheng, a huge battle flag with the word "Yin" hangs.
Nowadays, the Ming and Qing Dynasties are fighting, and wars are raging. Meishui Pass is the foundation of the Yin family. Therefore, the main force of Yin's army is stationed at Meishui Pass.
During an extraordinary period, the feudal lord Yin Zongxu personally came to Mengshuiguan to take charge.
The Yin clan was originally the fourth most powerful vassal in the southern region, but because it hid in the rear and never participated in the fight against the Qing Dynasty, its strength was not only intact, but also because it took in the defeated troops of the Wu clan alliance, its military strength became stronger.
It was precisely with this capital that Yin Zongxu had the confidence to bargain with the Qing army.
His conditions were: he would retain the position of marquis and retain more than 80% of his fiefdom.
The other clans that surrendered to the Qing Dynasty suffered a huge loss in strength and could only retain 30 to 40% of their fiefdoms, with the highest being 50 to 60%.
But Yin Zongxu's strength did not decrease but increased, so he certainly did not meet the conditions for returning to the Qing Dynasty.
As long as they have the army in hand, are Long Muhuang and Qinglu still reluctant to give up the little fiefdom? The Yin clan doesn't want much.
After all, Yin Zongxu is also a veteran clan leader with martial arts training, so he still has this confidence.
"My lord," a retainer reported, "I have just received news that the pseudo-Ming Jiang Yao personally led 30,000 Wu Zhen troops in a spaceship. They will arrive at Mishui Pass soon."
"There are so many fake Ming ships." Yin Zongxu sneered, "Oh, the 30,000 Wuzhen army is very strong."
He pointed at Xiongguan and said, "But so what? If the 30,000 Wuzhen had not been there for a month, they would never have thought of conquering the Meishui Pass. In this month, the Qing army could even climb up there."
What Yin Zongxu said is right. Let alone 30,000 Wuzhen, even if Jiang Yao led an army of 600,000 to attack Mishui Pass, he would not be able to conquer it without ten days and a half of hard fighting.
Otherwise, would it still be called Xiongguan? Unless there is an internal problem.
"I heard Long Muhuang remind me that Jiang Yao has a powerful magic weapon called the Flying Mirror, which can teleport ten thousand people in a directional way. This is a bit worrying."
Yin Zongxu was a little worried.
But the confidence is still high.
At this time, more than 50,000 troops of the Yin clan gathered at Meishui Pass.
At first glance, an army of more than 50,000 does not sound like much, but they are all Wuzong (third level) or above, and Wuzhen's army also has 4,000. They are all elite veterans who are familiar with military formations.
Coupled with the fortified city and the fortified pass, which is as solid as gold, has a mountainous formation, and has sufficient resources, it is enough to withstand the long-term attack of 200,000 Wuzong troops.
Whether it was the Qing army or the Ming army, if they wanted to capture Mingshui Pass, they would have to pay a lot of money and spend a lot of time.
Therefore, although it was heard that both the Qing and Ming armies were coming to Fishui Pass, Yin Zongxu was as steady as a mountain and calm.
At this moment, a white light suddenly flashed through, which was a flying message.
"It's Long Muhuang's flying news." Yin Zongxu frowned, and after his spiritual consciousness scanned it, his face suddenly became as gloomy as water.
"She actually knew that our family members were hiding in Pi City! She also reminded everyone to notify the family members to move quickly!"
Yin Zongxu did not expect that such a confidential matter would be known to the commander-in-chief of the Qing army so quickly.
So does Jiang Yao also know this secret?
Long Muhuang had reminded Jiang Yao that he had the magic weapon of the Flying Mirror.
Thinking of this, Yin Zongxu felt a little scared.
He was about to send a flying message to inform the families of his lord and ministers, when suddenly a white light came again.
This time, it was from his wife:
"Husband, something bad has happened! Tens of thousands of high-ranking Ming troops suddenly appeared outside the city, and the city is in danger!"
"The city is broken..."
Yin Zongxu was a powerful martial saint and a feudal lord who had been in power for a long time, but he couldn't help but tremble a little at this moment.
The viper city is broken!
The Ming army took control of the city of Pi and captured the families of our monarchs and ministers!
How could this happen!
That's not only his Yin Zongxu's family, not only the Yin clan, but also the families of Yin clan officials!
The families of the middle and high-ranking generals in Yin's army are all in Yin City.
How to fight this?
Even though Yin Zongxu was in a strong state of mind, he could hardly control himself at this time.
"Lord! What should we do?" After receiving the news, the expressions of the generals, masters and retainers all changed drastically.
At this moment, another flying message came.
This time, the flying message was sent by a stranger: "Master Yin, our army has captured the city of Pi, and the nobles, monarchs, ministers, families, and clansmen are all guests in the army..."
"I hope that when my lord's troops approach the Mishui Pass, the Lord Yin can change his flag and return to the Ming Dynasty. He will turn on and off to welcome my lord, and Qin will stop."
"It's Qin Yu, the deputy commander of the Ming Army!" Yin Zongxu's face was extremely ugly, "Qin Yu, son! How dare you insult me!"
Yin Zongxu exuded the powerful aura of a powerful martial saint, "My lords! What can you do now?!"
The ministers looked at each other and cursed loudly.
But other than cursing, I couldn't come up with any ideas.
The families and relatives of the monarchs and ministers all fell into the hands of the Ming army. Even if Yin Zongxu wanted to be stubborn to the end, he was somewhat powerless.
"Jiang Yao! That's too much!"
…
"Hmph, just as I expected, the Ming army raided Yin City and took control of the families of Yin clan monarchs and ministers."
On the spaceship, Long Muhuang, who received the latest news, said with a cold expression.
She guessed correctly about Jiang Yao's blow. Unfortunately, Jiang Yao's blow was cunning and fast. Before Yin Zongxu had time to move his family, the blow struck him firmly.
"Yin Zongxu is also a character, but now he has suffered such a big setback."
"The Yin clan has no hope, and a decisive battle is inevitable." Long Muhuang made a decisive decision and issued military orders one after another.
Looking at the vast clouds in the sky, Long Muhuang's brows tightened even more.
A fleet of spaceships with tens of thousands of people is likely to attract a large-scale attack by a tide of beasts.
She was really afraid of what would come. Just when Long Muhuang was worried, suddenly an endless wave of void rats appeared within her consciousness.
"Void Sky Rat!" Long Muhuang gritted his teeth, "We are flying at a low altitude and have not entered the void. Why did we attract such a huge Void Sky Rat?"
Could it be that this Void Rat was attracted artificially? Void Rats rarely come to low altitudes.
But this is unlikely. After all, I have never heard of anyone using evil monsters like void rats.
"Boom -" The huge rat field came overwhelmingly. Although the 50,000 Qing troops had a high average cultivation level, they still felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
In the end, they fought hard and finally broke through the siege of the Rat Territory, but even more than a dozen spaceships were damaged!
Although the spaceship fleet was fast, it was unable to unite a unified military formation to resist the Rat Territory, and more than 6,000 precious fourth-level warriors were lost!
One-tenth of the fourth-level soldiers were lost!
"This must be Jiang Yao's trick!" Long Muhuang's face turned green.
She didn't know what method Jiang Yao used, but she was certain that the fact that the spaceship fleet was attacked by the Void Rat Tide must have something to do with Jiang Yao.
Not such a coincidence.
More than 6,000 level four soldiers and a dozen medium and large spaceships.
Long Muhuang felt very distressed.
She didn't even see a hair from Jiang Yao and Ming Jun, and she lost more than 6,000 level 4 soldiers!
Long Muhuang took a breath of cold air and couldn't help but think of the emperor's instructions in the flight message again:
"Remember! My younger brother is cunning, unscrupulous, and uses military tactics treacherously. No matter how careful you are, you can never be too careful! Remember, remember!"
"I don't expect you to be able to destroy him. I only expect you to stabilize the situation of the battle and remain undefeated before I come back..."
Long Muhuang felt even more gloomy when she thought of these instructions.
The emperor was right, Jiang Zhongda was indeed cunning. He was so cautious, even though he knew clearly that he had the Flying Mirror, he still suffered two losses.
Now that I think about it, these two losses are a set-up.
He guessed that he might think of the Ming army raiding the city, and then use this to create urgency, forcing himself to do the same as him, using a fleet of spaceships to transport troops to seize time.
Only in this way can you encounter the Void Sky Rat in the air and suffer heavy losses.
This is a treacherous plan, and it is based on your own thoughts.
It can be seen that he also understands his own temperament and military style very well.
She was sure that Jiang Yao had other evil plans.
What could it be?
"Take the spaceship and go to the ground to ride horses!" In desperation, Long Muhuang could only order not to use the spaceship for marching.
Although marching on the ground is slow, at least we can set up military formations and have battlefield protection.
Now, all we can do is watch the Ming army seize the Meishui Pass.
…
Another two days passed, and the 30,000 Wuzhen army led by Jiang Yao finally reached the foot of Mingshui Pass.
King Ming looked at the Mingshui Pass with the towering city above and the vast water below, and he was determined to win it.
General Li Yang stepped forward and said loudly: "Master Yin! My lord has arrived, why not surrender at the gate!"
Although the Ming army only had 30,000 soldiers, they were all martial warriors and above, with powerful momentum and shocking fighting spirit.
An old man appeared on Guancheng, it was Yin Zongxu, the lord of Yin clan.
"His Royal Highness King Ming!" Yin Zongxu said loudly, "I am willing to surrender, but I also hope that Your Highness will retain the country and some fiefdom resources."
"In this way, not only do I change my banner and return to the Ming Dynasty, but I am also willing to do my best for the Ming Dynasty. What do you think, Your Highness?"
Jiang Yao narrowed his eyes and said, "Master Yin, you have no conditions to bargain with me!"
"Surrender at the pass, everyone will live! Keep the cave and 10% of the resources, and you will be qualified to serve in the Ming Dynasty!"
"This is my request! It cannot be changed! Lord Yin, I hope you understand the righteousness! Put the overall situation of Shenzhou first!"
What?
Yin Zongxu and others were angry.
If you lose everything and surrender, wouldn't you be reduced to a poor family?
What the heck is that?
This condition is too harsh!
"Jiang Zhongda!" Yin Zongxu pointed at Jiang Yao, "Despicable villain, yellow-mouthed kid! How dare you be so overbearing! Is there really no one in the Wu family in the world?"
"You are so rebellious that you are afraid that your death and the destruction of your country will be inevitable!"
"Although the king, ministers, family members and relatives fall into your hands, you can kill them! If they die in your hands, someone will naturally avenge them!"
"That's right!" A general said through gritted teeth, "If you lose your children, you can regenerate them! If you lose your wives, you can remarry them! Jiang Zhongda, we still dare to fight to the death!"
"If you agree to preferential treatment and don't take back our fiefdom, we will return to the Ming Dynasty immediately!"
"If you refuse, then we will all die together!"
Among the officials of the Yin clan, some risked their lives to fight against the Ming army and refused to surrender, wasting the lives of their families. Some were in a dilemma and were at a loss.
Others want to surrender.
"Hahaha!" Jiang Yao laughed, "Yin Zongxu! I gave you a chance, but it's a pity that you didn't want it! Then no wonder I!"
After saying that, his face darkened, "Kaicheng!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several generals and generals burst out in the city, shouting loudly: "Bring down the Ming Dynasty! My family can be protected!"
"Only when the sun comes down can my family and I survive!"
"boom--"
The rebels' battle field suddenly condensed.
It turned out that after receiving the news that their family members had been captured, many generals lost their military morale, and several generals finally decided to surrender under the influence of Jinyiwei spies in exchange for the safety of their families.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to take the initiative to betray Yin Zongxu.
In order to bring light, they used high-level talismans to block the commander's control over the commander's seal with the help of Jin Yiwei spies.
Only in this way can you control your subordinates' troops.
If the feudal lord is willing to surrender, that would be the best. But if the lord is not satisfied with the Ming army's conditions and refuses to surrender, then they can only rebel.
"How dare you rebel against me!"
Yin Zongxu was shocked and angry, and with a thought of a military order, the battlefield was launched.
His battlefield was superior to that of the rebels, and he quickly gained the upper hand.
However, the Ming army also launched an siege with all its strength.
"boom--"
Under attack from both inside and outside, Yin's army, which was already low in morale and disorganized in fighting spirit, soon collapsed.
It’s over!
Seeing that the situation was over and everything was irreversible, Yin Zongxu could only use the teleportation technique to rush out of Guancheng.
No matter how late it is, there is no chance to leave.
"boom-"
The majestic Guancheng finally fell into the hands of tomorrow's army!
