When they arrived, they learned that the battle situation near Ancient Crane City had changed again. The Yunxia City army had withdrawn five hundred miles away. It officially joined forces with Lieyan Mountain City and deployed again at a place called Huling Hill. Array.
Hu Qianqiu also abandoned his defense and without hesitation pushed his army hundreds of miles forward to the opposite hinterland of Yuning Province. Together with Qiu Wei, he stationed troops in front of Huling Hill.
In just two days, the two sides have fought more than ten times, with more than 200,000 casualties on both sides, and each side has won or lost.
Knowing this latest development, Hu Zhongyuan suddenly changed his color slightly. Zong Shou summoned several messengers that Hu Qianqiu had sent back to Ancient Crane City and asked them in detail. After a while, he had a clear understanding of the battle ahead.
"This Feng Fury is truly a hero! No wonder he has been able to fight against someone like Zong Weiran for several years without falling. Don't underestimate it——"
The attack on Ancient Crane City with all the mighty troops turned out to be just an appearance. Using the battle of Ancient Crane City as a cover, people quietly built a high-walled fortress and countless pits near Huling Hill.
What's rare is that none of the sentinels from all sides, including Qian Tianshan, were aware of it.
If Taoyun City hadn't been defeated too quickly under his all-out advance, the three provinces would have been wiped out in just over twenty days. The three million soldiers under Taoyun City's command were also defeated for five consecutive years. During the battle, most of them withered. I am afraid that this man will succeed and build this defense line of Huling Hill.
——If this is the case, even if the Wind Fury Tyrant cannot withstand their attack, it can rely on this to drain the blood of Qiantian City bit by bit.
Seeing that Hu Zhongyuan was still worried, Zong Shou immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will not accept your life. Uncle Hu decisively abandoned the defense and turned to attack to prevent Feng Fury from building this Huling Hill defense line. If he Because he obeyed my order and watched Feng Nu succeed, I wanted to blame him. I watched these dozen battles, all of which pointed at the key points of the Yunxia Lieyan Army. No matter whether they won or lost, they could disrupt the opponent's rhythm. Uncle Qiu and Uncle Hu are indeed worthy of being a famous general in a hundred battles——"
Nearly keenly aware of the cunningness of Hu Qianqiu and Qiu Wei. For Lieyan Mountain City, at most they only interfered, preventing them from successfully renovating the defense line. For the eastern front line where Yun Xia's army was stationed, they clearly put in 120% of their efforts. .There were more than 200,000 casualties on both sides, but nearly 40% were from Yun Xia's side.
After Hu Zhongyuan was startled, he obviously breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was Zong Shou's blame. From the previous contempt to the current awe, the transformation was completed unknowingly.
There was no longer any fighting near Ancient Crane City. Zong Shou simply stayed here and rested for two more days. It was not until all the 20,000 elite cavalry under his command had completely recovered their spirits that he rushed towards Huling Hill without haste. It seems that he doesn't care about the battle ahead.
There were only three thousand more fine knights accompanying him. The first one, named He Li, was not only the city lord of Ancient Crane City, but also the chief of the Danhe clan.
Another large clan under the Qiantian Mountains surrendered to Zong Weiran only four years ago. However, they have always been away from home, pastoring and guarding the Qiantian Mountains. And the one He Li is leading at the moment is Dan Heyun, the most elite member of his clan. ride.
The lightly armored and light cavalry can march 1,800 miles non-stop throughout the day and night. Due to the special nature of their mounts, they can even fly over mountains and ridges. Their combat power is also better than that of ordinary elite cavalry. They are the most elite troops in the Qiantian Mountains. Qingqi.
This clan also often produces spiritual masters, who are especially good at healing poisons. It is said that Zong Weiran also followed their way before, but later, for some reason, he completely surrendered the Danhe clan and willingly served them. The three million people in Ancient Crane City became the people directly under the jurisdiction of Qiantian Mountain.
Zong Shou had also been poisoned by this monster player from the Danhe Clan in the God Emperor Game before, almost killing him on the spot. You must know that at that time, he was already known as a sword in Yunlu, even though Even those top players at the same level as the Seven Emperors never put him in such a miserable state.
Therefore, whenever this He Li followed him, Zong Shou always felt a hair in his heart, and he was a little wary and on guard.
Fortunately, He Li is actually not that old, only about twenty years old. He looks a bit feminine. He always smiles and speaks softly when talking to everyone, and he doesn't seem like a dangerous person.
Even if he has some bad intentions, given this person's age, he is probably not very powerful in terms of poison.
The so-called Huling Hill is a small hill with a radius of only ten miles and the highest point is only about a hundred feet.
Naturally, it is impossible for the millions of troops on both sides to all gather in one place. The Huling Hill defense line of Wind Fury only uses Huling Hill as a link to connect several surrounding medium-sized cities. The entire battlefield spreads out to nearly 130 Miles long, millions of people are scattered across this area, fighting against each other.
When Zong Shou arrived, he first chose a high ground for observation and looked over the area. After a moment, he already knew why Feng Fury chose a place where the terrain was not outstanding.
On one side of this place is a mountain, and on the other side is a large river called Peihe. This place is like a funnel, and at the tip is Huling Hill.
——It is indeed an important place for military strategists. If you block it here, it is equivalent to blocking the vital point of Yuning Province. You can completely protect the provinces in the rear. Even the tyrant can use it as a support flank to defend the nearby areas. Not far away is the province of Sidhe.
Taking a closer look at the defense line built by Feng Fury, Zong Shou also completely stopped thinking about using the Yuan Mie Nu.
The Wind Fury had obviously taken precautions specifically for this purpose. The army of more than one million people was spread out over a wide area. Even where the troops were most concentrated, there were only tens of thousands of them. They relied on high walls to resist them and supported them with rangers. General Hu Qianqiu's offensive was blocked outside this line of defense.
Although he was only looking at it from a distance at this moment, Zong Shou had a feeling. Those who had built the walls probably had spiritual formations to prevent the impact of the Yuan Mie Nu.
Although Yuan Mie Nu is powerful, it has only one attack method. As long as you are prepared in advance, it is not difficult to deal with it.
This is why such a sharp weapon has rarely been used on the battlefield for thousands of years.
After looking at it for a moment, Zong Shou closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while. Then he picked up a branch and kept writing in front of himself.
After a while, the situation map of the entire Hulingqiu frontline appeared on the muddy ground.
Zong Yuan, Chai Zhou, Ling Xuan, and Hu Zhongyuan watched in silence. And He Li, with his phoenix eyes tilted up, observed with great interest.
Then I saw Zong Shou, pointing from the left direction, drawing a thin line, pointing directly to the side and rear of the Huling Hill battle line: "Zong Yuan, can you lead the 20,000 elite cavalry to break through from here?" I want you to point directly at this place within five hours——"
Zong Yuan raised his eyebrows, leaned over and took a closer look, looking back and forth. A hint of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. Then without asking, he just nodded and said, "I understand!"
The eyes of the people around him then brightened up. They were all people who were well versed in military affairs, and they discovered almost intuitively that this line could be said to be a direct attack on the key points of Yunxiao City's waist.
My Lord is still as sharp as when he swept through three provinces a few days ago.
This place is not only the weakest point of Yun Xia's army at the moment. If it can break through here, it will pose a great threat to the rear of Yun Xia's army. It can force Feng Nu to abandon this line of defense and retreat to reorganize. Even if
If one person fails to respond well, hundreds of thousands of generals will die here.
Na Heli couldn't help but admire that this method was indeed vicious and accurate.
Then Zong Shou, who was about seventy miles behind, said softly: "Hecheng Shou, I know that your Danhe Yunqi have always marched at the speed of marching, and are proud of Yunlu. If you wait alone,
, how sure are you of detouring from the nearby mountains and attacking the city from the side? How much time will it take?"
"Gushan City?" He Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he asked doubtfully: "Apart from the open terrain and accessibility from all sides, there is nothing worth noting here. Why should your Majesty care about this place?"
Zong Shou immediately frowned. In the past ten days, he had commanded an army to fight in the three provinces of Huanlong. Hu Zhongyuan and others had never asked or questioned his decision. Even veterans like Chai Yuan were obedient to him. Such stern words
, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.
But he didn't care much about it immediately. He was not a person with overbearing caste sentiments and did not tolerate others talking.
Tell me your own inferences, and with the help of the wisdom of a few people here, you can also fill in the gaps.
Then he said directly to the Pei River: "In the past few days, both Yunxia Mountain City and Lieyan Mountain City have been transporting supplies through this Peishui. Food and grass are also piled up in several cities beside the river bank, and are being transported to
All armies——"
Gu He nodded, the situation was indeed so good, but it seemed to have nothing to do with Gushan City?
"It's just that I'm a little surprised. That Feng Furious Xiongba knew that all the cloud ships on our side had been destroyed. But more than a thousand of our cloud ships have returned safely, and they can enter the Pei River in just a few days. He
Why do you dare to rely so much on this river?"
When they heard this, everyone around them was suddenly stunned, showing excitement. Gu He also had bright eyes.
"The fleet in Peishui is just a cover-up. It may even be a trap to lure our fleet commander to attack! So the real food and grass distribution center of Yunxia City is in Gushan City?"
Speaking of this, Gu He's thoughts became more and more divergent: "The Lord Qianzong originally attacked here, but it was just to disturb people's ears and eyes and attract the nearby Yunxia City army. The real heavy attack turned out to be here. Can we get it?"
Gu He is extremely honored that Your Majesty values this so much——"
"Zongyuan and the others are here to bring you back safely."
Seeing Zong Shou's face, he said with slight approval: "In short, within ten hours, give me a fire to burn this Gushan City!"
Gu He didn't say anything and leaned forward slightly. However, Hu Zhongyuan was a little curious: "Then where are you going, Your Majesty?"
"Me?" Zong Shou smiled again: "Of course I go to negotiate with Feng Nu Xiongba and the others. If this battle can be avoided, it would be better not to fight -"
