The 30th day of the twelfth lunar month in Yiyou year.
New Year's Eve.
After midnight tonight, we enter a new year, the Year of Bingxu.
Even though wars are raging across the border, the people of China still welcome the arrival of the New Year with the warmest emotions.
Military stations in various places took a three-day holiday, and every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
Joyful Spring Festival couplets, ferocious door gods, and children wearing brand-new cotton-padded jackets and tiger-head hats shuttled through the streets.
Even the war at the border has ceased today.
Phantom ordered the bombardment of Yumen Pass to stop.
Then the battles at Shanhaiguan, Niangziguan, Yanmenguan, Jiayuguan, Tiemenguan, Jianmenguan and other places stopped at sunrise.
The heavenly army retreated thirty miles, seemingly allowing the earthly defenders to spend the new year in peace.
There is no war during the Spring Festival, there is no war during national mourning, there is no war during spring plowing, and there is no war during autumn harvest.
This is an unwritten rule in the world.
In the world of heaven, there is a sense of doing as the Romans do.
When everyone thought that there would be no war in the world today, a war that could almost change the future structure of the Three Realms was quietly brewing.
Ye Xiaochuan has never been a rule-abiding person.
Tonight is the time when all forces are most relaxed. Even if he is stigmatized, he will not hesitate.
After all, what he has to deal with is the Five Poison Sect.
The Five Poison Sect uses poison to enter the Tao, and the main altar is located on the northern edge of the Dead Lake. No one can tell how many powerful poisonous insects and poisons the Five Poison Sect has raised for thousands of years.
Only a sneak attack can minimize the losses of Guixuanzong's disciples.
At noon, Zhan Ying received a secret report from the south of southern Xinjiang.
Gray has borrowed a large number of black fire weapons from the Heavenly Lady Kingdom, and the one hundred and twenty Heavenly Maidens of the Heavenly Lady Division are responsible for transporting them. Within about ten days, this batch of black fire weapons will be delivered to Changbai Mountain in northern Liaoning.
Looking at the list on Gray's secret letter, Zhan Ying was a little dazed.
At that time, he wanted to borrow some black fire weapons from southern Xinjiang to use in his war in northern Liaoning.
He gave Gray a lot of room to compress, so the number of Blackfire weapons he listed was on the high side.
According to his prediction, the senior officials of Southern Xinjiang would privately call some black fire weapons for Ye Xiaochuan for Ye Xiaochuan's sake, but the number of thunder rockets would only be one million at most, and the number of thunderbolts would be 200,000 or 300,000.
Containing thousands of barrels of black powder.
It's unthinkable. The top leaders of the five tribes in southern Xinjiang accepted everything according to the order, without even negotiating with themselves.
Seeing that such a large number of black fire weapons were about to be delivered to his hands, Zhan Ying's heart immediately became alive.
At this moment, their group has arrived near the Beishui River. The Beishui River defense line composed of the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong, the Mohe Tribe, the Prairie Tribe, as well as some regular troops and the Detachment of Women from the Central Plains are gradually evacuating.
The people of the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong are also moving in an orderly manner through the Beishui River towards Changbai Mountain.
Zhan Ying's camp was set up in a small town on the west bank of the Beishui River. At this moment, Zhan Ying had replaced his guns with cannons. When he left the border, there were only more than a thousand troops. Now he is firmly protected by millions of troops.
Zhan Ying looked at the map and pointed his finger at the location of Fengtian on the map.
Said: "Wanyan, how many enemy troops are there in Fengtian now?"
Wanyanku said: "A fully formed Storm Legion, about six thousand cavalry, and thousands of infantry composed of other legions have just entered Fengtian City recently."
Zhan Yingdao: "Fengtian is a very important place. It occupies the center of northern Liaoning. To the east, you can cross the Beishui River and enter Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje.
Going north can threaten the Changbai Mountain defense line.
That's why the commander-in-chief of Tianjie mobilized thousands of infantrymen from the direction of Shanhaiguan to garrison Fengtian City regardless of the freezing weather.
Fengtian is a nail driven into our heart and must be pulled out."
Wan Yanku said: "You don't want to use these black fire weapons to attack Fengtian City, do you?"
Zhan Ying smiled and said: "I have this idea, but not now. None of the soldiers in Liaobei have been exposed to black fire weapons, and they need a period of adaptation training.
Now that the roads are blocked by ice and snow, it is difficult to organize large-scale cavalry. The best time to attack Fengtian City will be in two months."
Dusk, dead lake.
Nangong Bat keeps receiving secret reports.
An armed conflict broke out on Little Buddha Island in the South China Sea. Fifty thousand overseas monks launched an attack on Little Buddha Island where the Goddess Cult is entrenched this afternoon.
Ye Bixin led fifty thousand goddesses to set up a formation and fight head-on.
Fortunately, the armed conflict was not too intense. Both sides still focused on testing, releasing magic weapons from a long distance to bombard the opponent's formation, and the casualties were not large.
After the battle broke out in Xiaofo Mountain, Nangong Bat realized that Ye Xiaochuan's action against Wudu Valley would be tonight.
She immediately ordered all the scouts in Death Swamp to search in the northern direction of Death Swamp.
As expected, disciples of the Ghost Xuan Sect were found lurking in many areas in the northern part of Death Lake.
Without exception, all of these Gui Xuan Sect disciples were wearing red clothes, and none of them were wearing black clothes at all.
At dusk, Nangong Bat, along with Dugu Fengyue and other personal guards, left Qianbo Mountain and flew to Poison Dragon Valley.
Death Lake is Nangong Bat's territory, and Nangong Bat's scouts can easily detect the traces of Gui Xuan Sect disciples.
But Gui Xuanzong's scouts have not yet found the 20,000 people Nangong Bat had hidden.
Nangong Bat personally went to Poison Dragon Valley to give Ye Xiaochuan a big gift.
She knows that the main force of the Goddess Cult has been defeated by Ye Xiaochuan through various forces. She cannot get involved in Poison Dragon Valley, but it is still possible to teach Ye Xiaochuan a little bloody lesson.
When Nangong Bat set off, the 60,000 celestial maidens from the Six Divisions also took advantage of the darkness of night to set off from the Kunlun Mountains. They first headed south, quickly passing through hundreds of miles of wasteland, and entered the 100,000-kilometer southern Xinjiang.
The northwest end of the mountain, and then turn west along the periphery of Shiwanda Mountain, heading straight towards the direction of Death Lake.
At the same time, 25,000 Gui Xuan Sect disciples dressed in red emerged from an area in the northern part of Dead Lake and flew at low altitude.
Although these people are wearing red clothes, most of them are actually former disciples of the Demon Sect. They wear red clothes just to confuse Tuo Bayu.
The mission of this group of people is to rush to the Jinsha Valley at midnight tonight and set up a posture on the south side of the Jinsha Valley to intimidate the Holy Cult disciples coming from the direction of the temple.
As for the Gui Xuan Sect disciples who participated in the direct attack, none of them were making any moves at the moment. This group of people had almost all lurked within a hundred miles of the target sect.
They will take action only when there are about two sticks of incense left before midnight.
Time passed little by little.
When people all over the world are celebrating the New Year, who knows that in a few hours, the entire southern part of the Western Region will be plunged into a melee?
Since today is New Year's Eve, the senior leaders of the Holy Church did not hold a meeting today.
Wang Keke was sitting in the stone house. In the room there were also Ghost Slave, Helan Puyu, A Chitong, Lu Haiya and other masters of the Demon Cult, as well as more than twenty disciples of the Ghost Xuan Sect that Wang Keke had brought from Qiming Mountain.
About thirty people gathered in a stone room, making it very crowded. Except for Wang Keke, most of the others were standing.
