Zhang Jiajun and the Demon Sect army joined forces and captured five cities with lightning speed. After just a slight adjustment, the cavalry brought the horses in the city and immediately rushed to the surrounding small cities.
The defensive power of these small cities was far inferior to that of the medium-sized cities. Counting the marching time, after two days, with the five medium-sized cities as the center, a large number of surrounding small cities fell one after another.
Among them, Zhang Jiajun's heroic achievements were naturally included. His strong combat power, strict discipline, and high quality were eye-opening to Cai Enping's soldiers.
In addition, martial arts masters also play an indelible role.
Perhaps when attacking a medium-sized city, Jianghu warriors are useless, but now that the nearby medium-sized city is in hand, there is no threat from the rear. When attacking a small city, a master from the Star Ranking is definitely a sharp weapon.
Except for those top forces headquartered in the territory of the Eastern Aristocratic Family, other top forces in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty such as Yanyu Tower, Iron Blood Alliance, Spring and Autumn Alliance, etc., from the leaders to the elders, all joined in the siege, even the Haobiao Academy participated.
Among them, everyone was shocked and speechless.
When did all these righteous forces start working for Zhuo Mufeng? How many things did that guy do behind the scenes?
With the fall of the small city, in just a few days, more than half of the territory used by the Demon Sect to borrow passage was captured by the Demon Sect.
After receiving the news, some of the remaining city guards were blue in the face, or were furious, or worried, and some were even thinking of surrendering or escaping. With the current expansion speed of the Demon Sect, I am afraid that they will attack soon.
, our own side has no time to mobilize troops, how can we stop it?
The Dongfang Family was not unhappy when they received the news, which happened to be the third day after the fall of five medium-sized cities.
Prior to this, Dongfang Changsheng and several others were discussing how to besiege the Demon Sect army and destroy the opponent within the territory at the minimum cost. After hearing the news, they were all dumbfounded and could not say a word for a long time.
The top floor of Lingtian Pavilion became deathly silent, and the whistling wind made Dongfang Jingting, who was reporting the news, shiver all over.
Dongfang Changkong suddenly took a step forward, picked up Dongfang Jingting's collar, lifted him three inches, and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about?" The voice was so loud that Dongfang Jingting's ears buzzed.
, my eardrums were almost shattered.
"Tell me, who told you to lie about the news? Are you a traitor? Come and tell the truth quickly, otherwise I will kill you!" Dongfang Changkong's hair and beard were all spread out, and his eyes were red, like a furious lion that had lost its mind.
Although Dongfang Jingting was frightened, he also had a arrogant character and said firmly: "If killing me can save the defeat, the third elder can do it!"
"You..." Dongfang Changkong was about to have a fit when a loud shout drowned out his voice: "That's enough, put him down!"
Hearing that it was his eldest brother, Dongfang Changkong gritted his teeth and pushed Dongfang Jingting aside. Unable to forgive his hatred, he slapped the wooden table on the top floor to pieces and roared: "Zhuo Mufeng, this treacherous boy, I will definitely kill him in the future."
Of!"
On one side, Dongfang Chang Wei's face turned pale, his lips trembled several times, and he shouted to Dongfang Jingting, who was bowing his head and obeying his orders: "Why are you so dazed? Why don't you quickly mobilize troops from the south to eradicate those rebellious thieves!"
Under the emergency situation, he even forgot to ask his eldest brother Dongfang Changsheng for his opinion. The news was really too shocking.
They were very proud of their own strategy. They had been arranging their troops for a long time and planned to hit the Demon Sect hard at once. But now it was good. They were hit hard, but it was the Demon Sect that hit them hard. Before their side took action, they had already
They were all wiped out by the opponent.
This extremely violent slap made everyone present see stars in their eyes and become dizzy. There was no moment more embarrassed, more ridiculous, and more humiliating and anxious for them than this!
Seeing that his eldest brother was just looking at the map and his body was petrified, Dongfang Changwei couldn't help but screamed: "Brother, give the order quickly!"
If Zhuo Mufeng's army waits for Zhuo Mufeng's army to completely capture the crossing point and then joins the army from the north, it will be equivalent to strangulating the throat of the Dongfang Family, and the situation will be extremely passive.
Dongfang Changsheng stared at the map closely, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything. As Dongfang Tao approached him, he even saw his body trembling slightly and his fists clenched white.
Seeing that Dongfang Changwei was confused, Dongfang Tao had no choice but to speak out: "Second Elder, don't disturb the First Elder's thoughts. The situation has reached the most critical level."
"What are you talking about?" Dongfang Changwei frowned.
It is true that our side was caught off guard this time, but the worst case scenario is that the territory we borrowed the road fell to, and the overall area was not even half of the land. When the situation in the north is settled, we can counterattack at any time, so why does it become the most critical situation?
moment?
Dongfang Tao sighed: "The end of the borrowed road is Humen Pass, which is the most dangerous pass in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. From south to north, it is very easy to conquer, but from north to south, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is even more difficult for our army to enter and exit."
The great gateway to the north.”
At first, Dongfang Changwei still couldn't understand what the critical situation had to do with Humen Pass, but when he looked at the map, his eyes slowly widened, and finally his expression turned frightened.
Dongfang Tao's cold voice was extremely harsh at this time: "As long as the Demon Sect army controls Humen Pass, if our troops and horses stranded in the north want to go south, they will need to attack by force, but the price will be extremely heavy, and they may not even be conquered in the short term.
.
However, during this period of time, because the army was mobilized to the north, our internal strength was far less than usual. Under normal circumstances, of course, we could mobilize some more troops and horses to go north to conquer the crossing point.
The problem is, the Zhang Jiajun showed up, and according to intelligence estimates, only a few hundred thousand people showed up. The Zhang Jiajun who fled to the South China Sea numbered close to a million, so where are the rest?"
Where else could it be? As long as Zhuo Mufeng was not a fool, he would definitely arrange for that group of people to join forces with his own army and try their best to attack the headquarters of the Dongfang Family while he was weak!
Dongfang Changwei's body suddenly trembled, shook a few times, and his eyes became a little blurry.
He thought it was just a loss of the land he was borrowing, but he didn't expect that Zhuo Mufeng was so vicious. He went from point to point to target the headquarters of the Dongfang Family. That guy wanted to use this opportunity to bring down the Dongfang Family!
What a deep thought, such a great courage, what a terrifying strategy!
Even as an opponent, Dongfang Changwei was deeply amazed by the exquisiteness of this layout. It could not even be described as exquisite, but terrifying. What followed was endless coldness and panic that hit his heart.
Dongfang Changsheng, who stood silently in front of the map, finally spoke at this time. His voice seemed calm, but everyone could hear the faint trembling: "Use Fang Zhaonan's remaining troops to destroy the Demon Sect army, and then proceed to encircle it from the north to the south.
, destroying Zhuo Mufeng’s foundation in one fell swoop, haha, what a good plan...
Who knows, the other party is also using the remnants of Fang Zhaonan as bait, but they are hiding the truth on the pretext of borrowing a passage. Our plan is just a part of the other party's plan. Even the Demon Sect is fighting and retreating, now I want to come
, it’s all just to use the opportunity to lay a foundation, so that one can pull off a plan, and they are all linked together to calculate the situation and people’s hearts, hahaha..."
Dongfang Changsheng laughed.
Hearing this burst of laughter, even Dongfang Changkong stopped being angry. He looked at his elder brother's back, his pupils shrank, and he hesitated to speak. He only felt an unspeakable depression that made him almost breathless.
Dongfang Changwei said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, we are not defeated yet. As long as we conquer Humen Pass as soon as possible, there is still hope. What's more, it is not known whether the remaining Zhang Jiajun exists. They may have been wandering in the sea for more than ten years. They only have these ten
Tens of thousands.”
After a long silence, Dongfang Changsheng, who had turned his back to several people, suddenly let out an unwilling and determined roar: "You are right, we are far from defeated. Our Dongfang family has been in business for hundreds of years and has a deep foundation. Now we have nine
How can this land be obtained by Xiaoxiao's conspiracy? I am the master of this land. If I don't admit defeat, no one can win!"
The order was quickly sent to the Eastern Army in the north through a secret transmission line. Dongfang Chang Sheng's words were concise and concise, but his words were fierce. He ordered the Northern Army to immediately go south to retrieve the borrowed land at all costs.
If the Zhang Jiajun really still has a hand, then as long as they conquer Humen Pass and return the main force to the south, they can keep out the enemy and make Zhuo Mufeng's conspiracy go bankrupt. On the contrary, they can severely damage Zhuo Mufeng, then turn around and go north, and then seize Fang Zhaonan's.
It’s not too late to land.
The determination is as strong as the East's everlasting victory, but secretly there is a bit of a fluke mentality. I hope it is the latter situation.
Unfortunately, this kind of luck was soon shattered by the ruthless and cruel reality.
Dongfang Changsheng's order has not yet reached the north, but the military situation in the south is suddenly in crisis across the board!
However, not long after the territory was captured by the Demon Sect, nearly a million elite soldiers suddenly landed forcefully from various docks, and war broke out for a while.
Facing the siege soldiers who were as fierce as wolves and tigers, fearless of death, but strictly enforced their tactics, the defenders of the major seaside cities were unable to resist and had to quickly send troops for reinforcements.
It happened that at this moment, the army from the interior of the Demon Sect also sent out troops to attack, forcing all places to lose their manpower.
The major seaside cities, which could only barely support themselves, collapsed one after another after being unable to wait for reinforcements after holding on for a while, and were forcefully conquered!
And this was just the beginning. The nearly one million Zhang family army and the Demon Sect army started fighting on all sides, either converging or dispersing, as if they had agreed, and the whole land was ablaze. For a time, the territory of the Dongfang Family was ablaze with flames of war.
The Dongfang Family's military strength was originally stronger than that of the Demon Sect, but because Dongfang Changsheng was eager to attack Fang Zhaonan, he added an additional 500,000 troops during the negotiations. As a result, the forces left behind on both sides were about the same, and now they suddenly had nearly a million brave men.
The result of Zhang Jiajun, who is good at fighting, can be imagined...
When the Eastern Army in the north attacked Humen Pass like crazy, the Huwei Army and the Demon Gate Army took advantage of the dangerous terrain and tried their best to resist.
At this time, Cai Enping's army, which was also in the north, also began to show its power. After losing all scruples, they fought frantically with the remnants of Fang Zhaonan, and adopted a tit-for-tat strategy, deliberately driving these people towards Humen Pass, causing the Eastern Army to be attacked from behind, and greatly delayed
Slowing down their pace of breaking through Humen Pass.
