Chapter 121: The decisive battle in Yandu, the demon conspiracy
In the evening, Beiyan Kingdom, the main hall of the Demon Cult headquarters.
The main hall is supported by eight huge dark golden pillars. On the left and right stands the Storm Demon Lord, the Ice Soul Demon Lord, the Black Flame Demon Lord, the Burning Sun Demon Envoy, the Nether Moon Demon Envoy and other innate masters of the Demon Sect. There are nine steps further forward.
, above the steps is a dark golden dragon-patterned seat. Dugu Aotian, dressed in a dark golden robe, sits upright on the dragon-patterned seat.
Immediately, Youyue Demon Envoy clasped his fists and said: "Master, now the Dacheng Dynasty has led an army of 300,000 to attack Yandu, and there are also all the innate masters of the righteous path to follow! Tuoba Hong, the Great Khan of Northern Yan, is asking us for help!"
Dugu Aotian smiled and said: "Tell Tuoba Hong to assemble an army and prepare for a decisive battle outside Yandu City!"
…
The next morning, Dacheng's army entered Beiyan territory. However, unexpectedly, all the cities the army entered had turned into empty cities.
A moment later, in the city lord's mansion.
King Ying Chen Yinglong, Duke Wei Wei Xiao and other generals gathered in the hall.
The commander of this army is Chen Yinglong, and Wei Xiao is the deputy commander.
Immediately, a middle-aged general in silver armor cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, now our army has entered the territory of Beiyan. All the cities we entered are empty and there is not a grain of food supplies. If this continues, the food and grass for the three hundred thousand army will only be
I’m afraid I won’t be able to support it for long!”
Chen Yinglong said calmly: "Beiyan is a nomadic people on the grassland. They have no fixed residence and migration is their specialty. I have already predicted that the subsequent grain transportation team will catch up in time, so don't worry."
At this time, Wei Xiao said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, there is no need to transport the follow-up grain, which will only waste people and money. As long as we can break through Yandu, there will be plenty of food! If this battle fails, the 300,000-strong army will not be able to survive.
Why bring too much food? It is better to sink the cauldron and fight against the odds!"
There is a saying in the art of war that defeat is calculated before victory is calculated. Once the Yan capital cannot be conquered for a long time and there is a lack of food, the morale of the army will be greatly disturbed, leading to the collapse of the army!
But this war is of great importance, and there is no room for defeat. We must win, otherwise the Dacheng Dynasty will be in danger of overthrowing!
Therefore, Chen Yinglong pondered for a moment and said: "What Deputy Commander Wei said makes sense, let's do it like this!"
Immediately, after the army was repaired, it continued to set off.
Bai Yichen, on the other hand, was sitting in the carriage practicing his martial arts, improving his true energy cultivation, and slowly tempering his body with Gengjin true energy.
The Sky-Splitting Sword Code comes to an end in the Ning Yuan Chapter, and the realm of Grand Master can only be explored individually.
Based on the deduction of the innate realm, Bai Yichen divided the realm of Grand Master Ning Yuan into four levels: nourishing the essence, cleansing the marrow, refining the aperture, and refining the spirit.
At present, he is mainly cultivating true energy and tempering his body.
After tempering his body with Gengjin True Yuan, the strength of his physical body also increased rapidly.
…
Two days later, in the early morning, the 300,000 troops of the Dacheng Dynasty arrived outside the south gate of Yandu.
The capital of Yan was established two hundred years ago. At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty was destroyed. The Tuoba tribe united with the grassland tribes to go south and occupied Liaodong and many other lands in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Later, the Tuoba clan established a kingdom and made northern Liaoning their capital.
Yandu was built.
After the establishment of Yandu, it became the political and economic center of Beiyan. After continuous expansion, its scale is no less than that of ancient cities such as Beiyuan Prefecture and Changle Prefecture!
However, the grassland people were aggressive by nature. They always went south to plunder and never thought about defense. Therefore, the height and thickness of Yandu's city were average, similar to the county cities of the Dacheng Dynasty.
Such city defenses could not withstand the fierce attack of 300,000 troops, so Tuoba Hong directly ordered the army to leave the city and fight against Dacheng's army.
Without any foreplay, the Beiyan Wolf Cavalry launched an attack directly. The first was a round of mounted fire. After being blocked by the shield soldiers of the Dacheng Army, they immediately launched a charge. However, it was not a forceful charge, but a roundabout outflank from both sides.
The Beiyan Wolf Cavalry are not heavy cavalry, they rely on speed and flexibility. Therefore, when they encounter the Dacheng army in the wild, they always win with this tactic of spreading out the two sides and outflanking them.
Even if they couldn't win, with the speed of the cavalry, it would be difficult for the infantry of the Dacheng Dynasty to catch up.
However, their tactics will fail this time. Because the Dacheng army has a total of 300,000 people, and the defensive formations of the left army and the right army are extremely tight, there are no loopholes for them to exploit, so they can only fight head-on.
The Dacheng Dynasty was richer than the Northern Yan Dynasty. Although most of them were infantry, their equipment was extremely sophisticated, so they were not inferior at all in fighting.
The two sides fought fiercely, but the top leaders of the Demon Cult never showed up.
Bai Yichen and others need to guard against Dugu Aotian and other innate masters of the demonic path, so naturally they will not waste their energy on killing some ordinary soldiers.
Immediately, a 100,000-strong Beiyan Wolf Cavalry came out from behind the Dacheng army.
However, Chen Yinglong had already expected it, and the rear army turned around and formed a formation to fight, and the two sides continued to fight.
What made Bai Yichen feel bad was that the innate masters of the demonic path never showed up.
"No! There must be a conspiracy in this!"
Bai Yichen felt something was wrong. His soul power was released, sensing the changes in the energy of the entire battlefield.
After a while, Bai Yichen suddenly discovered something unusual. The corpses of some dead soldiers looked extremely shriveled, as if they had been dead for a long time, while the remaining souls and blood of some freshly dead soldiers were constantly gathering somewhere underground.
There are no ghosts in this world. After death, the soul leaves the body and will soon dissipate and return to heaven and earth.
But at this time, there is a mysterious force devouring the soul and blood of the deceased underground.
The soul and blood of a soldier are insignificant power, but if the souls and blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers killed in battle are swallowed up, it will be transformed into an extremely terrifying force!
"No, it must be Dugu Aotian!"
Bai Yichen instantly understood the Devil's Cult's conspiracy. No wonder the Devil's Cult didn't come forward. It turned out that they planned to devour all the troops of Beiyan and Dacheng as nourishment.
If Dugu Aotian is allowed to achieve his goal, his cultivation will inevitably soar to a terrifying level. With his current cultivation, he is definitely no match!
But he could not stop the continuation of the war. Because both sides were already red-blooded, and no one would retreat easily.
Therefore, he took off the Sky-Splitting Halberd on his back, concentrated on sensing the places where souls and energy and blood gathered, and suddenly slashed with the halberd.
"Earth-shattering style!"
A crescent-shaped air blade several feet long cut into the ground at the center of the battlefield.
There was a loud explosion, and a deep ravine several feet long opened in the ground. Immediately, a handsome young man holding a black and red magic knife suddenly flew out of the ground.
The young man was dressed in a dark gold robe. He looked young, but his face was very majestic and domineering. He was the leader of the Demon Cult, Dugu Aotian. He looked at Bai Yichen and said with a smile: "I only realized it now, it's already too late!"
At this time, his Heavenly Demon Sword had absorbed the souls and blood of tens of thousands of people, and the Demon Soldier had already recognized its master.
These energies were transformed and purified by the Demonic Sword Spirit, and were continuously integrated into his body, causing his cultivation to skyrocket!
And as this fierce battle between the Dacheng Dynasty and the Beiyan Kingdom continues, more soldiers will die in the battle, and he will absorb more and more blood and souls to continue to enhance his cultivation!
