Although it paid a heavy price, Chaoge still won the victory after all.
They defeated the Fenchen Formation, broke through the Yanshan defense line, and defeated the Xiqi army steadily. They retreated to the Bailiu River area before re-building the defense line and stabilizing the position again - there was a wilderness to the west of the Bailiu River, and there was no one at the foot of Qishan Mountain.
Any geographical advantage can be relied upon. In other words, if the Bailiu River defense line can be broken, the entire Xibo territory will be completely exposed to the iron heel of the merchant army, leaving only a small area west of Qishan Mountain to be spared.
If the war reaches that point, at least as far as the mortal world is concerned, Xiqi will be completely defeated and will never be able to recover. There is no other way to think of except to admit defeat.
"At that time, I'm afraid the Ji family will tie up Ji Fa and Jiang Shang and send them to Chaoge." Cheng Peng speculated enthusiastically, "I really want to see the faces of the gods in Yuxu Palace at that time...
By then, all the twelve golden immortals will definitely be bent forward in frustration... Yuanshi Tianzun will also have an embarrassed look on his face, right?"
He made an "awful" expression as he spoke, making everyone laugh. Even Xu Tu, who had a gloomy face when he saw the "bad boy" Ichijoya sitting together with his daughter, also showed a bit of a smile.
.
"But things won't go so smoothly, right?" After laughing for a while, Wei Ye said some embarrassing words, "Yuxu Palace deliberately planned to let the twelve golden immortals under the sect escape the murder, and also wanted others to take the blame for itself...
Is it possible for them to let this war end like this?"
"But what can they do if they don't want to?" Shen Qi asked, "Even if the Twelve Golden Immortals die on their own, can they save the war situation?"
Of course it won't work. Although the Twelve Golden Immortals are famous, their strength is actually not very good. They are naturally good at bullying six-star players. But if they are besieged by seven-star masters, let alone defeating the enemy, they have to ask questions to escape.
Ask the players if they agree or not!
"The trouble is not the Twelve Golden Immortals, but the players on Xiqi's side." When it came to strategic issues, Xu Tu immediately returned to his deep and calm strategist character, "Although due to several defeats and Zhou Ren's retreat,
, the number of players on Xiqi's side has decreased a lot, while on our side it has increased a lot, but the gap in total combat power between the two sides is still very obvious - the current advantageous situation is based on both sides limiting the number of players participating in the war every day, and
Other players have not broken through the bottom line and attacked everywhere."
"Just imagine: if Xiqi now detaches a combat-effective force and goes to Chaoge to attack, what will be the result?"
This terrible idea made everyone break into a cold sweat and they were speechless for a long time.
Although the frontal battlefield has obvious advantages, the merchant army actually has great hidden dangers. The dispatch of a large army means that the rear is empty. If, as Xu Tu said, there is a team led by one or two seven-star experts and composed of hundreds of six-star peak experts.
The Power Rangers are going to make a surprise attack on Chaoge now, and the entire Chaoge City may be swept away by them!
"I will contact the Taiping Army right away! Although the main force is fighting on two fronts in Maurya's world with Tianjin and Guojin, it should be no problem to dedicate a force to guard Chaoge." Wei Ye immediately contacted the front line.
The leader of the Yellow Turban Army, Gou Debai, was stopped by Yue Yi.
"Do not contact or send people to Chaoge." Yue Yi looked very calm and not nervous at all, "It is impossible that no one in the Xiqi Army thought of a surprise attack on Chaoge. One of the reasons why they did not do so was because of this
The first approach is suspected of breaking the lower limit, which is not good-looking; the second one is that the last battle when Cheng Peng single-handedly blocked the Tianjian Alliance shocked them - even if they can be shameless, they dare not ignore the "after the trouble"
The risk of being killed by Cheng Peng."
This was reasonable, and everyone nodded.
"But if we send people to settle in Chaoge, the nature will be different..." Yue Yi did not explain in detail, but just touched on it to let everyone understand.
No fool can become a seven-star master. Even He Ming and Zhang Channian, who are nicknamed "hot-blooded idiots", are actually just used to being straightforward. It does not mean that they really don't know how to use their brains - they can do it in front of tens of thousands of people.
Serving as the leader of a department in a large guild, being able to become the strongest hunter in the world of monster hunters with so many experts is not something that can be achieved by just relying on muscles!
After Yue Yi's reminder, everyone quickly figured out the reason:
The Shang army did not send people to guard Chaoge. It was assuming the attitude of "the battlefield matters will be settled on the battlefield", just like a duel, putting everything at the forefront. If Xiqi bypassed the battlefield to sneak attack on Chaoge, that would be
Broken the tacit understanding and the rules of duel - this means that top masters like Cheng Peng can use this as an excuse to take personal revenge on the players who engage in Chaoge's sabotage war, and hunt them to the ends of the earth... Except for faces like Zhou Ren
A pervert with a thick heart and a strong black turtle shell, other players would definitely not want to be stared at by a top master.
But if the Shang army allocates manpower to guard Chaoge, it means that Chaoge is regarded as an important military town. Since it is an important military town, of course, attacking it is a legitimate military behavior... Even if the Xiqi army is separated from the army
Tens of thousands of troops went to attack Chaoge, killing people with blood all over the ground and corpses everywhere. At most, it was just the "cruelty of war" and would not involve personal grudges. If Cheng Peng and the others went after someone for this reason, then
On the contrary, they are wrong.
"Huh... I still feel a little uneasy..." Although he figured out the problem, Wei Ye didn't show any sign of relaxation, "It's just like other people, Zhou Ren... can he really be so honest?"
"If he goes to Chaoge to cause trouble again, we will form a team and go to the Twelve Golden Immortal Cave." Cheng Peng said coldly, "Yuanshi Tianzun definitely doesn't care about the life and death of mortals, but I want to see if he cares about himself.
The life and death of the Twelve Disciples!"
He is the only one here who has the confidence to say this. It's not because he is much stronger than others, but because he has the Conferred God Watch in his hand. After unfolding it, he can isolate all kinds of magic. He only needs to use the Conferred God Watch to cover it.
Living in the cave of the Twelve Golden Immortals, a group of people rushed in to surround and kill him. No matter how powerful Yuanshi Tianzun was, he could not sense that his disciples were in danger. After everyone withdrew the Fengshenbiao flash people, he could only face a
The messy cave and the disciples who had entered the Conferred God Platform were crying without tears.
Of course, this should not be done unless it is absolutely necessary. When the emperor is angry, he will lay down his body and bleed for thousands of miles. If Yuanshi Tianzun is angry... When the leader of Tongtian was furious, he planned to reorder the earth, water, wind and fire, and destroy the whole world.
To start over again, although some people have verified that he probably wants to use the backdoor left when the world was created to restart the system, and his own strength is not that strong, but since the youngest of the three brothers, Tongtian Cult Leader, can do such a thing, and
Senior Brother Taishang Laojun seems to have done similar things according to the narration of the novel, so there is no reason why Yuanshi Tianzun can't do it...
Just as everyone was discussing, the rallying drum in the camp suddenly sounded, which meant that Emperor Xin ordered the generals to be summoned - maybe there was another battle plan? It was time to start the war on the Bailiu River line.
Cheng Peng hurried to the Chinese army's tent and saw Emperor Xin sitting majestically on the dragon chair. Standing next to him was You Hun, the doctor who was responsible for recording the emperor's daily affairs for the sake of history. Both of them had gloomy looks on their faces.
He sneered, not knowing what he was discussing just now.
He walked to his seat and sat down. Next to him happened to be Hong Jin, the general of the fifth route patrol. Because he was also persuading the other party to sign the contract, the two of them were familiar with each other. The military meeting had not yet begun, so Cheng Peng asked casually.
To the end.
"I don't know. Your Majesty has been sneering just now. When the old master asked, he didn't answer. He just smiled like that." Hong Jin sighed and said, "I always think that his smile today is very evil. Look at his head.
, the murderous intention is about to turn into a ferocious beast and fly... Although I don't often go to court when I am away from home, I have been an official for many years. I have seen His Majesty get angry several times, but I have never seen him with such murderous intention...
"This Taoist practitioner, who is said to have studied under Jie Jiao, but whose origin is unknown, shook his head, "It's unlucky!"
When all the ministers arrived, the military meeting officially began. Di Xin did not speak, but motioned to You Hun to take out a military report.
The content of this military report is very simple, just a few sentences - in the territory of Xibohou in the Yanshan area, there are more than ten small princes supporting Xibohou and unwilling to surrender to the merchant army in Kaicheng.
"Isn't this a big deal?" Grand Master Wen smiled slightly after hearing this, "They are just some fools who can't see the situation clearly. Why should Your Majesty bother? Just send two people with ten thousand or eight thousand soldiers, and these small towns will naturally
Drum down, and when those stupid people are brought before His Majesty, they will naturally know what to do."
"What if they are stubborn to the end?" You Hun asked with a half-smile.
"Then just cut off the sacrificial flag!" Wen Taishi was not a woman of kindness and said bluntly, "If you dare to rebel, you must be prepared to be beheaded. Yuan Futong's example is there."
"Old Master, you seem to have forgotten something..." You Hun reminded him, "Your Majesty has made a decree before that if a city rebels, the city will be massacred, and if a village rebels, the village will be massacred!"
Master Wen was stunned and blinked several times, but he didn't know what to say.
This kind of order is obvious to be nonsense at a glance, but as a minister, can he clearly say that the monarch is talking nonsense?
"There is always a way out..." The mighty general Chao Tian came out to smooth things over, "Those people were just deceived and coerced by the traitors. They have neither the ability nor the idea to treason. They cannot be considered treason. Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision.
, there will definitely be no confusion.”
You Hun did not refute, but Di Xin laughed coldly.
The laughter was not loud, but it revealed a terrible murderous intention. This murderous intention was like a steel needle, piercing people's hearts with a faint pain!
"Mighty General, what you said is wrong! Even if these people are deceived and hijacked, don't they know they are wrong when the army comes to the city?" You Hun immediately retorted, "If they wake up, they will be traitors.
If they were kidnapped and sent out, or Kaicheng surrendered, then it can be said that they were just deceived and held hostage in the past, but if they assisted the rebels to resist the king's master... it would not be justified at all!"
Chao Tian smacked his lips and had nothing to say.
"Please let me go to pacify you!" Wen Taishi asked loudly, "I must screen carefully and never let a traitor slip through the net!"
Speaking of which, not to mention a shrewd man like Grand Master Wen, even a relatively dull person, he still vaguely understood what the emperor meant - he was planning to "do what he said" and massacre the city to establish his authority!
But... massacring a city is really a bit...
Cheng Peng looked around. Hong Jin's face was full of distress, and he muttered in a low voice: "The massacre of the city... is too much..." On the other side, although Deng Lun, who was born in Jizhou, did not speak, his face was full of intolerance, and he obviously disapproved of it.
The practice of massacring a city to establish prestige.
Cheng Peng himself didn't agree with it, and just as he was about to speak out against it, You Hun spoke again.
"Without bothering the old master, the small town of Zuo'er was taken by just sending a general." He said and smiled again, his smile getting colder and colder, "Among the cities, there are two stubborn groups who are resisting at all costs.
, trying to use the mantis as a chariot..."
"How is it?" Master Wen couldn't help but clenched his fists and asked loudly.
You Hun looked at Emperor Xin and saw him nodding slightly, then he shouted: "Xuan Xin, general of cavalry, Yin Chengxiu reported!"
This Yin Chengxiu is the son of Yin Banbai. Like his father, he is a man who has nothing else in his mind except "loyalty". He has to be ordered to enter the tent. His armor is all bright red, and there is an indescribable amount of blood.
The air comes out through the armor, making the person feel like vomiting.
"Your Majesty, Yin Chengxiu, pays homage to your Majesty. Among the six princes that I conquered, two were stubborn until death. I have followed your Majesty's instructions and slaughtered them all, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the civil and military officials in the camp changed. Cheng Peng was also stunned and stunned. He didn't care about the disrespect before the emperor, and rushed out of the Chinese army tent to look at the clouds above the camp.
I saw long blood clouds, gusty winds, and the king's purple energy that had been shrouding the camp had been corroded by the blood energy and turned into a shrill blood light!
