Chapter 224: The Rise of the Great Week of Upheaval
In the Leiyun Mountains, a vast sea of people crisscrossed each other, and millions of soldiers roared and charged to kill, like rolling rivers colliding violently, splashing strong waves of blood.
The sound of drums, shouts, and roars resounded through the thunderous mountains; corpses, armors, and weapons were scattered all over the vast mountains and trees; life became the cheapest item, wantonly squandered; sadness became the most ridiculous feeling, trampled ruthlessly;
The entire Leiyun Mountain Range is a sea of turmoil, with thick smoke and blood mist covering the sky, and the sadness and bloody heroism of war echoing across the vast battlefield.
The three empires collided in life and death. Millions of soldiers would defend the front line with blood and build the Great Wall of flesh and blood with passion. The chaotic collision continued, and blood once again soaked every inch of thunderclouds. Thousands of soldiers fell down in the roar.
The tenth day of the war!
The eldest prince of the Delos royal family deployed traps, adopted a strategy of luring the enemy deep, and planned to severely damage the enemy's coalition forces.
However……
The intelligence system failed to capture that more than two million new elite soldiers from the two great empires of Zhou and Salu had entered the battlefield and were waiting with heavy force at the left and right edges of the mountain range.
As soon as the plan to lure the enemy was launched, it was met with an all-out counterattack.
More than 4 million troops from the two countries' coalition forces broke through the encirclement, surrounded and annihilated the 500,000 soldiers who had lured the enemy, marched straight in, and marched eastward.
In just two days, all the defensive lines deployed hastily by the eldest prince were torn to pieces.
Delos was defeated across the board!
There were corpses floating for hundreds of miles, and more than a million elite soldiers died tragically!
"Report! The five frontline defense lines collapsed one after another, and the coalition forces of the two countries have now crossed the Leiyun Mountains!"
"Report! The coalition forces of the two countries are marching eastward, totaling 4.3 million people!"
"Report! The eldest prince led the remaining troops to evacuate eastward. There are 950,000 survivors."
"Report! The frontline has formulated a final combat plan and is expected to form a defensive front along the eastern coast of the Mangdang River."
"Report! One million reserve troops are forcibly activated, targeting Mangdang River!"
"Report! The coalition forces of the two countries destroyed two cities in a row and arrived on the west bank of the Mangdang River early this morning!"
The Mangdang River, the longest and widest river in Delos, runs across the central part of the Keshiya Plain, cutting it into two parts. However, the Mangdang River is only less than a hundred miles away from the imperial city. In ancient times, people crossed the Mangdang River.
It's like entering the core of the empire.
The widest part of the Mangdang River reaches more than 500 meters, and the narrowest part also reaches more than 100 meters. There are wide stone bridges connecting the east and west banks.
The eldest prince's approach was to destroy all bridges, combine with the millions of reinforcements that finally arrived, and deploy strict defensive offensives in various dangerous areas.
Once the coalition forces of the two countries cross the Mangdang River, Delos may really face the danger of national subjugation.
This is the last front, holding on to the remaining territory of the empire.
Nearly five months have passed since the outbreak of the Three Kingdoms War. Delos has suffered continuous defeats, with the loss of three million soldiers. The vitality of the empire has been severely damaged, and the surviving territory is less than half of what it once was!
Even if you persist in the final struggle, you may decline from there.
At this time of life and death, the Delos royal family once again recruited death squads from major families, and sent all the royal princes to the front line. The last force stationed in the imperial city, the "City Guards", gathered out of the city overnight.
"Delos is facing life and death. I hope you will pay tribute to the heroes and martyrs of our ancestors and join hands to defend the dignity of the empire!" Bi Xiao, the current emperor of the Delos royal family, summoned the elders of the six major families to go to the royal altar, kowtow to their ancestors, and issue a final call.
All conflicts are temporarily given up, and all prejudices are temporarily suppressed.
The old patriarchs of the six major families all went into battle and led their clan elites to the Mangdang River area, preparing for the final decisive battle with the coalition forces of the two countries!
The entire Delos was shrouded in the clouds of war, and everyone was nervously watching the development of the war.
However...the coalition forces of the two countries camped here and showed no signs of continuing to move forward.
The strange calm lasted for ten days!
A sudden and shocking change occurred in the West Bank barracks!
The troops of the Great Zhou Empire suddenly targeted the barracks of the Salo Empire.
The troops of the Salu Empire were small in number and suffered heavy losses in the early stage. There were only more than one million troops in existence. Facing the wolf-like and tiger-like troops of the Zhou Dynasty, which were nearly two hundred outnumbered, most of them were at a loss, and the resistance of a few was in vain.
They roared, accused, and got angry, but it didn't help at all. The troops of the Great Zhou Empire slaughtered like demons, killing their former comrades mercilessly.
The flames of war dyed the night red, and the blood soaked the riverside. The chaotic fighting lasted for a full night. More than 300,000 of the million Salo elite soldiers died in the battle, more than 400,000 surrendered, and the remaining more than 200,000 people all threw themselves into the Mangdang River and were swept away by the galloping river.
swept away by rivers, or become food for monsters in the river.
The Delos Empire didn't know why, and always maintained restraint, watching the fighting on the distant river bank with vigilance, and watching the rushing Mangdang River dyed bright red.
The accident did not end there.
At the same time as this massacre occurred, more than a million elite soldiers of the Empire who had just entered the central region of the Great Zhou Empire from the territory of the Salo Empire were surrounded by the Great Zhou Empire. Because they were unprepared, the millions of elite Salu soldiers were first poisoned, and then
We were faced with the butcher's knife raised high by the Zhou Empire!
Millions of elite soldiers... not a single one is left!
Blood dyed the earth red, and the souls of injustice echoed in the sky!
This is a conspiracy in itself, or the entire campaign was a carefully arranged conspiracy at the beginning!
The Great Zhou Empire played a wonderful game of concealment!
An unparalleled plan!
What they want is not only to divide Delos with Salo, but also not only the territory of Delos, but the control of the entire Biannan!
The poor Sara Empire was being exploited from beginning to end.
Originally still happily dreaming of carving up Delos, the empire's most elite troops were ruined in the blink of an eye. Counting the soldiers who had previously died on the battlefield, Salo's total losses from beginning to end were nearly four million.
Almost 70% of the empire’s original troops!
In order to carve up Delos, they were bewitched by the Great Zhou and invested too many elites, and now they don't even have enough defensive power.
In other words, the current Salo Empire is like a tiger with its teeth and claws pulled out. It seems to be intact, but in fact it is full of crises. Once the butcher knife of Zhou is directed towards them, they are basically unable to resist.
The current situation is even worse than that of Delos!
For a moment, Biannan was shaken. Both Delos and Salo looked at the temporarily peaceful Great Zhou Empire with anger mixed with horror.
Huge chess game! Shocking results!
Horrifying ambition, timid status quo!
After this battle, no one in Biannan will dare to provoke the Zhou Empire!
The whole country of the Salo Empire must be angry, but it is of no use at all. They must either cede territory and seek peace, or wait for the country to be subjugated. Delos knew that the Zhou Empire alone could not cross the Mangdang River for the time being, and the empire's crisis was temporarily lifted, but he knew better that he was also unable to provoke the Zhou Dynasty.
Don't even expect to take advantage of the Sara crisis to make profits.
A mighty imperial melee comes to an end!
The Great Zhou Empire was completely victorious!
Now you can take your time and relax, and then consider how to consolidate the rule of the occupied areas. If you suppress the Salo Empire, you will have no power to fight back!
Delos Empire!
The end of the war did not relax their vigilance. While seizing the time to build fortifications on the east bank of the Mangdang River, they tried their best to restore the vitality of the empire while strengthening exchanges with major families. Now that the matter has come to this, the royal family of Delos will never dare to do so again.
To punish a certain family, you have to try your best to win over them. However, all major families also know the importance and no longer dare to blindly resist, and calmly accepted the royal family's goodwill.
Based on the current situation in Biennan and the situation in Delos Cash, they can only survive better if they unite. Once there is internal fighting, Dazhou will definitely seize the opportunity.
Tang Yan was also stunned by this series of shocking changes. He never expected that the royal family of Zhou Dynasty would have such courage and ability to seize the position of overlord of Biannan in one fell swoop with an almost acrobatic strategy.
But these are all imperial battles and have little to do with him. Instead, because of the sudden harmony within Delos, he can no longer worry about the safety of the Rao family.
Xu Yan's situation is worrying.
When Xu Yan left, it was the time when the Leiyun Mountain Range was at its most chaotic. Any accident could lead to a life-or-death crisis.
Two months after the shocking changes, Delos returned to its previous calm, and the tense atmosphere had basically dissipated. The Tang family, which Tang Yan had been waiting for for a long time, finally arrived in Lao City!
Tang Ba and the others returned safely, bringing with them Tang Yanshan's apology and concern, but no members of the family followed. In the old man's words, they could handle this crisis.
Two days later, the information about the underground world and the Dayan Mountains was finally gathered!
