The former Kyoto of the Dai Viet Dynasty is now Sein Linh City.
Shengling City is located in the west of the Qinghuan Sea Area and is also the largest port city in the west of the Qinghuan Sea Area.
Due to the concentrated island chain, there are countless islands and reefs in the Qinghuan Sea Area, and there are not many safe routes. Only Shengling City in the entire western part of the Qinghuan Sea Area is located on three safe routes. It is the most important node connecting the Qinghuan Sea Area to several large sea areas in the west.
.
Before the war between the Juling Dynasty and the Dai Viet Dynasty, Sheng Ling City was also the largest and most prosperous city in the Qinghuan Sea. It was like a pearl embedded in the emerald green ring. It was the most shining presence of the Dai Viet Dynasty and the Qinghuan Sea.
.
Unfortunately, Shengling City is now in a state of depression.
The prosperity of the past has long ceased to exist, and millions of people have been wiped out. Today's Shengling City is more like a transit point for the Giant Spirit Dynasty to enter the Qinghuan Sea. In addition to the 100,000 troops stationed in the city,
, there are almost no people living for hundreds of miles around Shengling City.
The reason why this happened was entirely because of the original war.
The previous generation of Emperor Yue refused to retreat, and many people in Shengling City also participated in the defense of Kyoto.
When the giant spirit army entered Shengling City, they were still attacked and attacked by many civilians. Therefore, in order to avoid being attacked by the common people, the giant spirit dynasty could only go on a killing spree.
Of the millions of people, only 30% escaped in the end, and the rest all died under the butcher's knife of the Giant Spirit Dynasty.
It is precisely because of this that the Juling Dynasty has lost the support of the people in the Qinghuan Sea. Even though the Juling Dynasty has restrained itself a lot in the past ten years, the people in the Qinghuan Sea still regard it as an enemy.
At this time, night falls, the lights in Shengling City are brightly lit, and a large number of soldiers on duty are leaning lazily on the city wall, while the city is filled with laughter, singing and dancing.
Don't blame Shengling City's defenders for being so lax. After all, this is Shengling City, which is more than two thousand miles away from the battlefield in the eastern part of the Qinghuan Sea.
But in this unprepared situation, a loud shout broke the tranquility of the night.
"Kill~"
Countless figures suddenly appeared outside Shengling City under the cover of night.
The next moment.
The shouts of killing shook the sky, and more than a dozen ladders were set up on the city wall under the stunned eyes of the defenders.
The city wall is more than ten feet high, and the ladder is only four or five feet high. Even if it is built on the city wall, it is still a long way from the top of the city wall.
But this is enough.
I saw silhouettes one after another jumping on the ladder and jumping onto the city wall.
What followed was a brutal killing.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
The soldiers on duty woke up and shouted loudly.
Unfortunately it's too late.
…
Wu Sheng was wearing black armor and had an extremely cold and handsome expression.
He stood on the gate tower of Shengling City, looking at everything in the city.
The city gate below has been opened, and countless soldiers from Dali swarmed in.
The sound of fighting began to spread within the city starting from the city gate, but within a moment, the entire Shengling City fell into chaos.
Wu Sheng looked at the frozen night sky and the Shengling City that was ignited by the flames of war, with chilling indifference and murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
After several years of silence, he finally came to the battlefield again.
He had not participated in the war for several years before, but at that time he was able to remain calm and even felt a little disgusted with the war.
But now he actually felt a rare pleasure in the war, as smooth and refreshing as a long-dormant volcano erupting again.
"It's not that I hate war, nor that I like war, but that I have found the glory of my beliefs!"
He looked at the raging flames of war, his eyes shining brightly.
At this moment he truly felt a sense of belonging and identity, a feeling he had never experienced before.
Although he had fought for the Luofu Dynasty before and had lived and died for the Luofu Dynasty, he had never felt such a strong sense of belonging to the Luofu Dynasty.
"Dali, Your Majesty!"
Wu Sheng's cold and handsome face was stained with a faint smile under the flames of war.
The next moment.
He leapt up, and his whole body rushed into the night sky like a roc spreading its wings.
The gun's light shines like a rainbow, penetrating the night.
In the chaotic battlefield, the sharp spear light instantly penetrated the chest of an enemy general who was fighting.
When the light of the gun pierced his chest, the general grabbed the gun barrel suddenly, raised his head and stared at Wu Sheng, who was close at hand.
"Who are you? Why did you attack Shengling City?"
His eyes were full of resignation and anger.
The war came so unexpectedly, and it came when the 100,000 defenders in the city were completely unprepared.
The general in front of him is the chief general of Shengling City. Before the battle broke out, he was holding a banquet in his mansion to entertain his comrades in the army.
Riots broke out and war broke out. By the time they reacted, Dali's soldiers had already rushed into the central area of Shengling City.
But until now, he didn't know who the enemy in front of him was.
How did you come to Shengling City?
"Dali Dragon Tiger General Wu Sheng!" Wu Sheng looked at him coldly and slowly withdrew the spear in his hand.
"Dali!"
The general looked confused.
He seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but couldn't remember it for a while.
Except for the important ministers in the Juling Dynasty, other people in the Juling Dynasty did not know much about Dali.
If Wu Sheng had mentioned the Sky Alliance, then he might have known about it.
Today, the Dali Dynasty is far less famous than the Sky Alliance in the Juling Dynasty.
Everyone in the Giant Spirit Dynasty knows about the Sky Alliance, but few people know about the Dali Dynasty.
In their opinion, the Giant Spirit Dynasty was defeated in the battle of the Turbulent Sea at the hands of the Sky Alliance, not the hands of Dali.
Just like that, he slowly fell down with confusion and unwillingness.
Wu Sheng ignored him and turned around, holding a spear in his hand and started fighting on the battlefield.
In fact, they fought this battle very easily. There were only 100,000 defenders in Shengling City, and they were not the most elite army of the Giant Spirit Dynasty. In addition, they were unprepared to attack, so the outcome of the battle was doomed from the beginning.
An hour later, the battle in Shengling City was over.
Three hundred thousand Dali and the elite soldiers of the Hundred Stars Dynasty have begun to clean up the mess in Shengling City.
As for the remaining 100,000 soldiers, they left Shengling City in warships.
Wu Sheng knew very well that their warships could never stay in Shengling City, because once the Giant Spirit Dynasty launched a counterattack, the warships left in the port would become turtles in the urn.
As for going to sea to fight the navy of the Giant Spirit Dynasty, that is even more undesirable.
This is the Qinghuan Sea, not the Jingtao Sea, let alone the Yuluo Sea. This is the home court of the Giant Spirit Dynasty, and they have no advantage here.
If they were on land, they would still have a chance to deal with each other.
But if they are in the sea, unless they don't start a war, once a war starts, their entire army will be destroyed.
So after putting 300,000 soldiers into Shengling City, Wu Sheng directly ordered the remaining soldiers to leave Shengling City in warships.
But instead of finding a place to hide, they went to the Phantom Sea.
The war has just begun, and the station established by the Sky Alliance in the Phantom Sea has been put into use. Although there are not many soldiers there at present, soon the millions of coalition troops of the Sky Alliance will go to the Phantom Sea in batches.
In fact, from now on, the Sky Alliance has replaced the Dai Viet Dynasty and become the biggest enemy of the Giant Spirit Dynasty.
…
The news that Shengling City was taken away by the Sky Alliance did not spread immediately because the attack came too suddenly, and the defenders in Shengling City were destroyed before they had time to send out a message.
It was not until three days later, when the supply ship of the Giant Spirit Dynasty arrived at Shengling City, that the situation in Shengling City was discovered.
After that, the news spread at an extremely fast speed.
The first one to receive the news was the Juling Chaotang.
Giant Spirit Kyoto, in the palace study.
The Giant Spirit Emperor's face was livid, and he looked at Luo Zheng, Zhao Shiwen and Ji Zhan in the room with sinister eyes.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
He asked through gritted teeth.
At this time, his heart was filled with anger, and the rising anger was gradually eating away at his remaining reason and calmness.
No wonder he was so angry.
The Sky Alliance's army actually captured Shengling City without their knowledge.
Before that, they hadn't even received any information.
"Ji Zhan!"
The Giant Spirit Emperor looked at Ji Zhan who bowed his head and remained silent. He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and said coldly: "You are the commander of Heiyuntai. Come tell me what is going on?"
When Ji Zhan heard his words, he trembled all over and knelt on the ground, "I am incompetent, please forgive me!"
Yes, he is the commander of Heiyuntai, and Heiyuntai is the most important intelligence agency of the Giant Spirit Dynasty.
It stands to reason that the Sky Alliance is an enemy of the Giant Spirit Dynasty, and Heiyuntai has the responsibility to monitor all military operations of the Sky Alliance.
But now hundreds of thousands of troops from the Sky Alliance appeared in Shengling City without their knowledge, and even occupied Shengling City.
This is a serious dereliction of duty and has caused irreparable consequences.
Now even if the Giant Spirit Emperor cuts Ji Zhan down, Ji Zhan has no chance to refute.
But who knows the pain in Ji Zhan's heart.
Black Cloud Platform is the most important intelligence agency of the Giant Spirit Dynasty, and Black Cloud Platform is also very powerful, several times more powerful than the Dai Viet Dynasty's Black Sand, Dali's Snare, and the intelligence agencies of many forces.
But the problem is that intelligence collection is not strong enough to achieve results.
Intelligence collection requires time and careful planning.
If they only faced the Dai Viet Dynasty, they could easily deal with it, but what they faced was Dali's snare and the Hundred Stars Dynasty's dark night.
The most important thing is that they didn't pay enough attention to Luoyu Sea Area before.
This made it very difficult for them to collect intelligence on Dali.
Until now, they have not penetrated into Dali Chaotang, and even some spies previously deployed by the Hundred Stars Dynasty have been dug out by the net and the dark night.
In addition, Black Cloud Island was destroyed, and the three parties of Luowang, Dark Night, and Black Sand secretly joined forces, which resulted in them even exposing many spies within the Dai Viet Dynasty.
It can be said that the current Heiyuntai is blind. They have almost lost most of their surveillance power against the world outside the Giant Spirit Dynasty.
The Giant Spirit Emperor looked at the panicked Ji Zhan and wished he could drag Ji Zhan out and chop him down.
But he couldn't kill Ji Zhan because Ji Zhan was his most loyal minister.
Maybe Ji Zhan is incompetent, maybe Ji Zhan is not very strong, but since he lets Ji Zhan take charge of Heiyuntai, it means that Ji Zhan is the person he trusts the most.
Compared to Luo Zheng and Zhao Shiwen, Ji Zhan is his confidant.
"Get out!" the extremely angry Giant Spirit Emperor roared.
"Well, I'm leaving!" Ji Zhan didn't dare to say another word, and immediately rolled out of the study room.
Next to them, Luo Zheng and Zhao Shiwen lowered their heads, looking at their noses and their hearts, as if the old gods were still there.
The loss of Shengling City is neither a big deal nor a small matter.
The loss of Sheng Ling City will definitely affect the Ju Ling Dynasty's strategy against the Dai Viet Dynasty, but after all, Sheng Ling City is only a city occupied by the Ju Ling Dynasty, and it is nothing to the entire Ju Ling Dynasty.
The main reason why the Giant Spirit Emperor was angry was that they had no knowledge of the actions of the Sky Alliance.
"Do you two dear friends have any countermeasures?"
The Giant Spirit Emperor took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked Luo Zheng and Zhao Shiwen.
Luo Zheng, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke and said: "Your Majesty, the Sky Alliance is the great enemy of our dynasty!"
"Then what?" the Giant Spirit Emperor frowned and asked.
Luo Zhengdao: "The top priority is not to recapture Shengling City, nor to continue to attack the Dayue Dynasty, but we need to know what the Sky Alliance is doing!"
Upon hearing this, the Giant Spirit Emperor nodded in agreement.
Now that they don't even know what the Sky Alliance is doing, how can they deal with the Sky Alliance's attack?
Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle!
Without the support of intelligence, rash actions will only put them into greater trouble.
"I know, I will arrange someone to investigate the Sky Alliance!"
"But how do you think we should deal with the Dai Viet Dynasty?"
The Giant Spirit Emperor continued to ask.
"Temporary truce!" Luo Zheng said.
"Why? The Dai Viet Dynasty is about to fall. This shouldn't be difficult for us!" asked the Giant Spirit Emperor.
"Because we don't know if the Sky Alliance has any other arrangements!" Luo Zheng said.
The Giant Spirit Emperor frowned again.
There really is no way around the Sky Alliance.
"That's all, let's check the Sky Alliance first!"
The Giant Spirit Emperor said somewhat dullly.
The situation before him made him feel a little powerless.
It seems that the rise of the Sky Alliance has unknowingly threatened the Giant Spirit Dynasty.
This is a result he never imagined.
Even after the defeat in the Stormy Sea, he did not feel that the Sky Alliance could threaten the Giant Spirit Dynasty.
But now the loss of Shengling City made him truly feel the threat from the Sky Alliance.
…
The other side.
In Yonghua City, Gu Shidao and Zuo Qing also received news of the fall of Shengling City.
The two sat in the hall, relatively silent.
The escape route was blocked, which was like a bolt from the blue for them.
"Sky League, Dali Dynasty! We seem to have encountered a big trouble!"
Zuo Qing said with a solemn expression.
During the battle of Yonghua City, a strong man from Dali appeared.
And now the Sky Alliance's army has actually taken away Shengling City.
This means that the Sky Alliance has fully joined their war with the Dai Viet Dynasty, and it also means that the Dai Viet Dynasty has united with the Sky Alliance.
"It seems we can't continue the attack!" Gu Shidao pinched his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.
Zuo Qing nodded, knowing Gu Shidao's concerns.
Since the Sky Alliance has already gone to Shengling City, there is no guarantee that they have not sent other armies to the eastern part of the Qinghuan Sea.
They lack information about the Sky Alliance and do not know the specific strength and arrangement of the Sky Alliance's reinforcements at all, so it is reasonable to have such concerns.
"Wait a minute and see what His Majesty and the court want!" Zuo Qing said.
The two fell into silence again.
At this time, they seemed to understand the reason why Qiao Wanjun insisted on fighting them in Yonghua City.
Unfortunately, it was too late, and by now, they had fallen into passivity.
…
Tiange City.
The Emperor of Yue, who had just returned, was simply overjoyed after learning that the Tianqiong Alliance Army had captured Shengling City.
"Great, haha, great!"
The Emperor of Yue was dancing excitedly, without the poise and majesty that an emperor should have.
However, compared to the excitement of the Yue Emperor, Qiao Wanjun next to him was much calmer.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to be happy, we still need to regroup as soon as possible!"
Qiao Wanjun reminded.
"That's right, that's right!" Upon hearing this, the Yue Emperor immediately nodded in agreement, but the joy and excitement on his face still did not fade away.
Qiao Wanjun continued: "Your Majesty, we may still need Dali's support!"
"Ah!" The Yue Emperor was startled.
Qiao Wanjun said: "What do we lack now!"
The Yue Emperor's expression froze, and the excitement and joy on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant.
yes!
Now their situation is not good at all.
Not only is it lacking everything, it is simply destitute.
After the Battle of Yonghua City, they had less than 200,000 remnants left, and these remnants were already their last strength in Vietnam.
Apart from this, they only have Tiange City and a dozen small cities left.
Although many warriors in Qinghuan Sea are now on their way to Tiange City, and they can reorganize an army of hundreds of thousands or even millions, they have no money, no food, and no armor.
The Emperor of Yue was silent for a long time and then said: "I will write a letter to His Majesty Emperor Li right now!"
Although it was a bit embarrassing to ask Dali for money and food, he had no other choice now.
Qiao Wanjun didn't feel embarrassed at all. In the face of their destruction, being embarrassed didn't matter.
