The Tianjie East Road army marched eastward from the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain. Along the way, they walked outside the Great Wall and rarely encountered decent cities.
Entering the northern Shanxi region, we encountered some cities and villages.
However, the people in the northern Shanxi region had already moved in advance, and apart from burning down their houses, the heavenly army did not have any major conflicts with the human army.
Yunzhou City is the first army of the Heavenly East Road to launch an attack on a city where a large-scale human army is stationed.
The attack was sudden. A wave of long-range bombardment by Skyfire Beasts almost destroyed the entire defense of the northern city of Yunzhou City, and most of the Eight Bull Crossbows were damaged.
As the Skyfire Beast's fireball extended into the city, many fires broke out in the city.
Stationed in Yunzhou City are the famous Tianlin Sixteen Guards of Northern Shanxi Province, with a total of 600,000 armored warriors.
The coach's name is Xu Fang.
He is the half-brother of Xu Kai, the general manager of the army in northern Shanxi Province.
Xu Fang, forty-eight years old, had participated in the Battle of the Southern Xinjiang Wasteland and the Battle of Eagle Beak Cliff ten years ago. At that time, he was a guerrilla general under the old commander Zhao Xianfeng.
Ten years ago, he was a representative of the hawks who fought bravely.
Now, his sharp edges have not been worn away by time.
Beicheng was in emergency. Although Xu Fang was frightened, he mobilized reinforcements in the city to help Beicheng and organized soldiers to put out the fire in the city.
Xu Fang already knew that he would not be able to go back.
The 600,000 Tianlin troops in Yunzhou City cannot return.
Yunzhou City is the first important town in Datong Mansion and the first line of defense. His brother put him here to stop everyone's mouths with his life.
Xu Fang moved his headquarters to a private house very close to the Beicheng wall and directed the battle.
Beicheng is already at hand-to-hand combat.
The first thing to rush up was the giant army from heaven.
Most of the Eight Bull Crossbows on the North City were destroyed by the bombardment of the Skyfire Beasts, and more than a dozen gaps were blown out of the city wall. Even the gates of the North City were shattered, causing the North City's defense to be greatly reduced.
The giant army relied on its tall body and huge shield to easily attack the city wall.
Ordinary crossbows did not cause substantial damage to them.
The giant army launched a fierce attack on the damaged city gate, and the Tianlin army fought bravely.
However, in a close encounter in a narrow area, the advantages possessed by the giant army were too huge.
The Tianlin Army did not have black powder, so they could only fill it with human lives in waves.
The Yunzhou Blockade has begun, and the entire northern Shanxi region is at war.
General Xu Fang stared at the defense map with red eyes.
A messenger rushed in and shouted: "Commander! General Qi can't hold it anymore! The brothers have suffered too many casualties, and the north gate has been breached! The gap in the city wall is almost occupied by enemies from heaven!"
Upon hearing the news, more than a dozen of the general's staff in the room began to urge Xu Fang to retreat as soon as possible.
General Xu Fang roared: "Retreat?
Where to retreat?
Tell Qi Liansheng that the lost city gate must be snatched back within half an hour! Even if the corpses of the soldiers are used, the city gate must be completely blocked by me! Call the Tianlong Guard, Tianhu Guard, and Tianshi Guard to help Beicheng! I am sitting here
Watch and see if there are any cowards in our Tianlin Army who escaped during the battle!"
Yunzhou City is very strange now. The North City was beaten extremely fiercely, but the city walls in the other three directions showed no movement.
Waves of sergeants quickly gathered from the streets in the city and from the passages on the city wall towards the north city.
However, the huge disparity in combat power caused huge losses to human soldiers.
At the beginning of the war, only the giant army rushed forward. Gradually, the enemy's madman army and skeleton army, as well as the bull-headed horse faces that were deeply feared by mortals, also rushed forward.
This puts the entire northern Yunzhou defense line at risk.
Cultivators don't pay much attention to the mortal battlefield, but it's not that they don't pay attention.
The news of the Tianjie Legion's attack on Yunzhou was conveyed immediately.
Xu Kai at Niangzi Pass and the emperor in the capital already knew about it before the Skyfire Beast's bombardment ended.
Immediately afterwards, the news spread to Cangyun Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, Tianshan Mountain, Xumi Mountain, and the Savage Temple in the Western Regions.
It is just a notice to the righteous sects, telling these immortal bosses that a war has begun in the north of Middle-earth.
This is not a notice to the Holy Fire Sect of the Western Regions, but a request for help.
Not only is Yunzhou asking for help from the Demonic Cult, Shanhaiguan is also asking for help from the Demonic Cult.
Naturally, what they seek is not the cultivators of the Demon Sect, but the forty-seven barbarian alien races controlled by the Demon Sect.
Ten years ago, in the Human Alliance, the Righteous Way and the Demonic Cult had a falling out. In recent years, Yujizi has tried his best to suppress the Demonic Cult. One of the methods is to control the aid to the tribes in the Western Region and the grassland.
This has resulted in almost no communication between the Demonic Sect and the Righteous Way of Middle-earth in the past ten years.
Tuoba Yu had already transferred the barbarian foreign troops entering the Pass to the north of Changbai Mountain.
Now the northern war zone is in urgent need, and the Central-Turk court needs the assistance of the foreign armies from the north.
Especially the Feiyu Legion in Northern Xinjiang is very important to whether humans can control the air in the northern battlefield.
It's almost dark here in the temple, and the leaders of various factions are preparing to end the meeting and leave.
Suddenly, I received news that the war between Niangziguan and Shanhaiguan was urgent. His Majesty the Emperor of the imperial court also hoped that the Demon Cult could dispatch the foreign armies of Northern Xinjiang to cooperate in the fight.
Therefore, the temple meeting was extended.
Tuoba Yu had several letters asking for help read aloud in public, and many sect leaders in the hall began to discuss them.
Tuoba Yu glanced at Ye Xiaochuan beside him and said: "Zong Master Ye, do you think the foreign army in Northern Xinjiang should be dispatched at this moment?"
Ye Tianci said slowly: "It seems that Tuoba Sect Master and the senior sect masters have not understood one thing."
Tuoba Yu and the big guys in the hall were stunned.
Tuoba Yu said: "Does Sect Master Ye want to say that the wars between the foreign tribes in Northern Xinjiang are just mortal wars, and we, as cultivators, should not get involved?"
Ye Tianci shook his head and said: "No.
What I want to say is that the leader of the forty-seven alien tribes in Northern Xinjiang is the demon god Qilis.
Whether to send troops, when to send troops, and how many troops to send should all be decided by Qilisi alone.
However, all the seniors seem to regard the demon god Qilis as a pawn, keeping the forty-seven alien races in Northern Xinjiang firmly in the hands of a small number of people at the top of the Holy Church, leaving Qilis without any decision-making power."
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Over the years, they have become accustomed to leading the foreign races in Northern Xinjiang, and few of them have remembered that the Holy Cult can only mobilize the foreign races in Northern Xinjiang because of Qilisi's light.
"Ye Xiaochuan"'s words made these big guys fall silent.
They are all old foxes, so they naturally understand what "Ye Xiaochuan" means.
In recent years, it seems that the foreign races in Northern Xinjiang are controlled by the senior officials of the temple, but in fact they are controlled by Tuoba Yu alone.
"Ye Xiaochuan" moved Qilisi out at this time and let Qilis regain control of Northern Xinjiang, just to weaken Tuoba Yu's strength.
However, everyone also knows that what "Ye Xiaochuan" said is reasonable.
Qilisi alone mobilizes the foreign races in Northern Xinjiang. This is the power of the demon god, and it is justified.
Tuoba Yu, on the other hand, was Yue Zu's agent, and his apprentice was Wu Ming.
Tuobayu himself felt that he was in the wrong and didn't know how to answer.
