On the bank of Fancheng, where the five rivers of Xiangyang gather, the waves are rolling and the lake surface is rising and falling.
Fancheng is an economically important city second only to Xiangyang Prefecture. It faces Xiangyang Prefecture across the confluence of five rivers. Its economic and transportation are extremely developed, and it is an important dividing line between Yuan Shu's power and Da Li's power.
At this time, the armies of both sides were densely lined up on both sides of the river and lake, with strict formations and evil clouds covering the sky.
The river bank in Fancheng is densely covered with all kinds of powerful weapons, as well as a large number of strong archers, powerful crossbows, etc.
Li Huangwuxin had a great reputation. Even if the two sides started a war, Yuan Shu would not give in, but he still felt guilty. He mainly took a defensive position and did not expect to counterattack Xiangyang Mansion.
When Wu Xin arrived, the Li army was already neatly arranged, ready to go, and was ready to go. It was mainly composed of top elite soldiers such as Xin Wuwei, and they were ranked in descending order according to the strength of their combat strength and the level of the legion.
The place where five waters gather in Xiangyang is named "Five Waters Lake". The lake area alone is hundreds of miles in diameter, endless as far as the eye can see, and the waves are vast. This is the best line of defense.
Therefore, if the Li army wants to "invade" Fan Mansion, they must strengthen the "Five Waters Lake".
With the natural geographical advantage, the attacking side naturally suffers more than the defending side, so for several years, both sides have been living in peace, and no one wants to bear the price of the "Five Lakes" of strength!
"Lord! Emperor Yuechan..."
As soon as Wu Xin arrived, Zhang Mancheng, who was responsible for the frontline operations, stepped forward to ask for instructions.
Not long ago, the flying cicada guards who were heading towards the shore of the "Five Waters Lake" suddenly withdrew, which made Zhang Mancheng a little confused and caught off guard.
After all, according to the original plan, Xinwuwei and Feichanwei were to be the main force and vanguard, forcefully crossing the "Five Waters Lake", attack the enemy forces on the other side, and cover our own army to cross the lake. If ordinary troops were used to force the crossing, the casualties would be too great.
!
Now, the Feichan Guards suddenly withdrew, and no reason was given. Only the Xinwu Guards were left. Zhang Mancheng was a little embarrassed. He did not dare to make the decision on such a major matter without authorization. After all, it related to the Lihuang Imperial Guards.
If Xinwuwei suffered heavy casualties because of his insistence on going his own way, Zhang Mancheng would not dare to bear this responsibility!
"Emperor Yuechan has other important matters. Have you arranged for other elites or strong men to take over?"
Wu Xin nodded, indicating that he understood what Zhang Mancheng meant, but he asked vaguely.
Zhang Mancheng instantly understood that Emperor Yuechan Diaochan and her flying cicada guards had other important tasks and it was not appropriate to make them public. It was not convenient for him to say more, at least not at this time.
As his thoughts suddenly changed, Zhang Mancheng quickly responded: "Yes! Then we have to make up for it with the disciples of the Yue Worshiping Cult and the immigrants from the northwest. Other troops are not suitable and will not be able to complete the important task!"
"Give you half an hour to deal with them!"
Wu Xin understood Zhang Mancheng's dilemma, but had no intention of coming forward in person. He gave a concise and concise instruction. After all, this was Zhang Mancheng's scope of responsibility. Unless Zhang Mancheng lied, he did not arrange for any disciples of the Moon Worshiping Cult to be substituted.
"Yes!" Zhang Mancheng didn't have any unusual rejection reaction. He readily agreed and left the arrangement quickly.
"Keep the message going, and when there are capable people, try your best to participate, and I will personally take action!"
Wu Xin knew that he was in a bit of a dilemma for Zhang Mancheng. Seeing Zhang Mancheng leave, he gave instructions to the left and right to make up for the gap caused by the departure of Feichan Guards.
This is the impact of variables in the plan. Even if there are backup arrangements, it is still quite troublesome. You must try your best to arrange it properly, otherwise you will fall short!
…
In less than half an hour, there were male moon-worshipping disciples dressed all in black and female moon-worshiping disciples all in white, as well as elite northwest immigrants wearing blood-colored armor and blood-colored cloaks... blood-devouring warriors and so on.
Tens of thousands of people from each side gathered by the lake.
In terms of average cultivation strength, this group of people is no worse than the Feichan Guards. However, they are not regular soldiers, and many of them have reluctant expressions on their faces.
Theoretically speaking, when people in the world of martial arts participate in battles on the battlefield, their cultivation level needs to be lowered by a larger level for estimation. So regardless of the fact that the cultivation level of the disciples of the Yue Worshiping Sect is basically the Nascent Soul Realm, Dharma Phase Realm, or at worst the Golden Core Realm.
The battlefield is no more powerful than the average Flying Cicada Guard in the Golden Core Realm, and there will definitely be more casualties!
"Emperor Li! I, in consideration of my old friendship with the Dong thieves, have always tolerated it without committing any crime. Now that Emperor Li is determined to go his own way, and the people of both sides are in disaster, must we start a war?"
I saw the figures of Wu Xin and Xin Wuwei appearing in the distance. They came to the lake with Zhang Xun, Lei Bo, Han Xian, Han Hao, Leju and other generals Yuan Shu. Luck shouted and questioned, the sound shook both sides of the lake, and even the waves were
The sound of the waves was also suppressed.
"High Road (Yuan Shu's word)! You steal the imperial code, disregard order, covet power and fame, and establish yourself as emperor. You also collude with bandits and invade our borders many times. It is really intolerable in heaven! If you know the truth, if you abandon your weapons and surrender now, there is still a chance.
A way out!"
Wu Xin changed his mind and was equally lucky.
The intention is obvious, which is to blame each other, shirk the "crime" and responsibility for starting the war, and reduce the enemy's morale and fighting spirit.
"Dong, dong, dong..."
Before the sound resounded throughout the "Five Waters Lake", the heavy and melodious war drums sounded...
The Xinwu Guards, who were densely arranged on the south bank of the "Five Waters Lake", were like sharp arrows shooting out, running wildly through the water, and pointing straight to the other bank.
With Xinwuwei's cultivation strength, he can naturally fly in the air. However, flying in the air is more susceptible to the iron-blooded evil energy entangled by both sides, and he can easily become a living target.
Compared to the Xinwu Guards, who were in an orderly formation and moved uniformly, the Blood-devouring Armored Warriors were a little behind, but they were also extremely fierce. They rushed out one after another, also walking quickly on the water.
The Moon Worshiping disciples were obviously in a lot of confusion. Only a small number of them walked on the water, while the majority directly controlled the air, controlled weapons, performed body movements, flew on swords, etc.
The Yuan army on the north bank of the "Five Waters Lake" was well prepared. The army quickly pressed forward, rolling up the iron-blooded evil clouds to suppress it in the air. It was as if a storm was coming. Various weapons, strong attacks, powerful crossbows, etc. were aimed directly at the target, gathering momentum.
Ready to go!
One mile...
Three miles...
Five miles...
In a few dozen breaths, the Xinwu Guards, Blood-devouring Warriors and Moon Worshiping Disciples who acted as the vanguard had already crossed nearly half of the lake.
"Do it!"
Wu Xin gave a light scold, took a big step, and appeared several miles away like a teleport, then dodged again and approached the north bank.
"Control the mountains and rivers!"
A few miles away, Wu Xin, who was still in the "Wushui Lake", waved his hand, and his vitality became restless, forming a giant peak of 100 feet, which fell in the air.
Yuan Jun was well prepared. The six generals, Zhang Xun and Lei Bo, plus four great monks at the Fusion Realm, flew up and blasted the giant peak in the air!
"Ouch..."
Wu Xin's body swayed, and he instantly performed "Dragon Transformation" and transformed into a hornless dragon hundreds of meters tall. The dragon roared in the sky, and opened its teeth and claws...
The vast lake surface has turbulent waves, with layers of huge waves ranging from tens to hundreds of meters, like a tsunami, rushing towards the north shore.
"Form up!"
The reinforcements were shocked, but not panicked. After all, although the huge wave was powerful, it was not very lethal. It mainly served to cause confusion and could not kill anyone!
Layers of friendly iron-blooded evil clouds, unpredictable, blocking the violent waves.
At this time, Xinwuwei and others were approaching, but they were greeted by an overwhelming barrage of sharp arrows, powerful crossbows, giant crossbows throwing stones, thunderbolt techniques, etc...
The war between the two armies officially breaks out!
