Chapter Eighteen: The Battle of the North and South
When the cold wind blew off the last dead leaves on the sycamore tree, the first winter snow arrived as scheduled, and the entire palace was covered with a layer of white makeup. In Fengluo Garden, Jiang Chen’s With all the clothes on his upper body gone, he was standing in the cold and windy winter. Standing next to him were two women, one large and one young. They were watching the young man perform a set of boxing techniques, which were exactly the ones from the "Five Symbols Body Refining" The technique was actually a bit more powerful than when Qin Kunxiao was practicing that day.
Zhao Qin'er and Xiang Ming watched Jiang Chen leaping like a dragon and a tiger, with white mist coming out of his body. After Jiang Chen finished playing "Dragon Elephant Body Training" nine times, Xiang Ming quickly came forward to help with the towel that had been prepared. Jiang Chen wiped the sweat away to prevent the wind and cold air from entering his body. He found that Jiang Chen had grown a lot taller, almost reaching his chest. Zhao Qin'er did not come forward, but looked at Jiang Chen with some distress in her eyes. After wiping away the sweat, he began to train the body training method taught by Yue Qianming. He invited Xiang Ming and the two of them back to the main hall of Fengluoyuan and started training.
After returning from Zhenbei Divine General's Mansion that night, Zhao Qin'er thought carefully about how to protect the people around her. Finally, after thinking about it, it was better to let them have the insurance to protect themselves, so she helped Xiangming investigate. After looking at her spiritual apertures, I didn't expect that this girl's spiritual apertures were all accessible and she could practice. Because the exercises she practiced were unique to the royal family and could not be passed on to others, and the exercises she practiced required a high degree of talent.
Zhao Qin'er did not detect the grade of Xiang Ming's spiritual veins, and could only detect that it was a water-attributed spiritual vein. She then used an intermediate-to-high-level spiritual vein called "Shui Jing Zhu" that she and Jiang Chen had obtained when they traveled to the mainland. The cultivation method was taught to Xiang Ming. Later, Zhao Qin'er and Zhao Lingyun borrowed the spirit testing stone and examined it carefully for Xiang Ming, only to find that this girl did have a water spirit vein, or a mid-grade earth-level spirit vein. Xiang Ming Ming has been practicing for some time, and she has actually reached the seventh level of the Naling Realm. Xiangming feels the benefits brought by the practice, and she is not busy day by day. In addition to dealing with daily affairs, she spends the rest of her time Practiced.
Different from the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of Fengluoyuan, the war between the northern and southern borders of Zhao Xin's country and Jin and Xia has never stopped. Let's talk about the war in the southern border first. After Qin Kongyu arrived at the southern border, based on the intelligence given by Zhao Lingyun, First, they captured Qianzhu Guards General Han Qixing and Niutoushan Guards Zhang Qi, and beheaded them for betraying confidential military information. Then they began to adjust the defense line. When it was almost over, the Jinhai Kingdom General Jin Chengxiong discovered a loophole in the defense line and gathered superior forces to attack the defense line.
When Qin Kongyu led the reserve army to arrive after two days and two nights of marching, a hole had been torn open in the defense line. Jin Chengxiong had already led his army to attack the next pass and had stabilized his position. Qin Kongyu had no choice but to lead his troops back and continue. Strengthen the defense line, set up a second line of defense in front of the pass that Jin Chengxiong captured, and gather heavy troops for defense.
After seven days of non-stop running, the defense line was finally stabilized. Originally, they only waited for the Anxuan Army mentioned by Zhao Lingyun to arrive before launching a counterattack. However, they found that Jin Chengxiong showed signs of retreating with his troops, so he ordered troops to attack Jin Chengxiong. Chengxiong entangled Chengxiong, but unexpectedly he was ambushed, and was counterattacked by Jin Chengxiong. The 150,000 Crow Qingque Army, led by 10,000 Tiefutu as the vanguard, was overwhelming and broke through several passes in the southern border. The southern border defense line was almost Total collapse.
Qin Kongyu finally gathered heavy troops in the Longshan Pass area to contain Jin Chengxiong's offensive. When the 20,000 Anxuan Army arrived on the 15th day, they cooperated internally and externally, and finally won the first victory on the southern battlefield, wiping out five
Ten thousand Crow Qingque Army and about 3,000 Tiefu Tu Army, Southern Border Bureau
The situation finally entered a period of calm, but Jin Chengxiong did not retreat. He defended a dangerous border city in the south. The two armies began to confront each other, both looking for loopholes in the other's defense. Qin Kongyu finally put aside his pride and listened.
Subordinates’ opinions will no longer be taken lightly.
And the 20,000 Anxuan Army, led by an iron-faced and iron-armored commander, disappeared immediately. Even Qin Kongyu didn't know where they went. Originally, the two armies had no subordinate relationship, and Qin Kongyu didn't know where the Anxuan Army came from.
All I know is that the Anxuan Army directly accepted Zhao Lingyun's orders and only accepted Zhao Lingyun's dispatch. The commander only left a sentence: when they are needed, they will naturally
would appear, and then 20,000 people seemed to disappear out of thin air in the southern border. Jin Chengxiong searched everywhere for that amazingly powerful army, but found nothing, so he did not dare to launch an attack rashly again, and could only wait for the opportunity, and the time continued until
In winter, although there were always some small-scale frictions between the two sides, they were only tentative, and neither side dared to launch a large-scale offensive or defensive war.
The situation in the northern border is different from that in the southern border. The northern border, which has entered winter at this time, is even colder than the southern border. The scenery of thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow is just ordinary. When Yue Qianming arrived in the northern border, he also first sent Feng Siyuan,
After Huo Jiacheng and Chen Mingshu killed them, they immediately led the army to supplement the weak defense line.
When Yue Qianming led his army to come into contact with the Xia Geng clan's soldiers, he immediately discovered that something was wrong, because this was not the main force of the Xia Geng clan at all, but just the standing garrison in various places of the Xia Geng clan. They withdrew to the Xia Geng clan after just one battle.
Within the national border. Nali De
The main force of 130,000 troops led by Mingsuo was hidden somewhere. He sent a whole team named Yong from his martial arts special team to investigate the news. However, there was still no trace of the 130,000 troops. It seemed that
It seemed like it had disappeared out of thin air in the north.
It was not until four days later that the guards of Baipo Mountain, covered in blood, came to ask for help. When Yue Qianming led his troops there, Baipo Mountain had been destroyed, but Li Deming did not occupy the fortress and disappeared again. Yue Qianming re-reinforced it.
Got it
Bai Poshan's defense line was left behind to prevent Li Deming from returning. This time Yue Qianming sent out all the ten teams of the Wujue Special Forces. He must detect those dozen
The destination of the team of ten thousand people.
There has been no news for several days. When the Anxuan Army arrived, they still had not found out where Li Deming's 130,000-strong army was stationed. The leader of the Anxuan Army also disappeared after seeing that there was no large-scale fighting. Yue Qianming had no choice but to
Think of ways to strengthen the defenses at each border fortress
Yu. But Li Deming seemed to be a ghost and attacked several frontier fortresses. Yue Qianming had already understood Li Deming's intention. He wanted to tire himself out, punching himself seriously and then swallowing him.
, what a big appetite.
Although he already understood Li Deming's strategic intentions, because there was a traitor who betrayed the troop deployment plan, Li Deming knew the reality of the northern border defense very well, and continued to launch attacks based on loopholes in the defense. Although Yue Qianming understood Li Deming's strategy
intention, but looking for
There was no trace of the troops led by Li Deming, so they could only re-deploy the defense line and use tactics to lure the enemy, but it didn't work at all for Li Deming. Yue Qianming had no choice but to urge the Wujue Special Forces.
Seize the time to find out where Li Deming is.
It was not until winter was about to enter that a member of Group A of the Yanfeng Squadron of the Wujue Special Forces came to report that they had discovered traces of Li Deming's troops. It turned out that the Yanfeng squad happened to be patrolling near a fortress attacked by Li Deming's troops. Searching, he heard the cry of killing and hurried over.
Captain Yan Feng did not order his men to go to support the fortress, but stayed in the dark. When Li Deming's troops retreated, he began to follow the troops who had just won the battle and relaxed their vigilance. Xia was afraid of being cut off. Geng's scouts discovered that they had been missing in the distance. They followed the army into an inaccessible mountain in the north, but lost the trace of the army again, so they immediately sent someone to report to Yue Qianming.
After Yue Qianming opened the map, he looked at the place marked with the name Demonic Snake Mountain. Yue Qianming also knew something about the situation in that mountain. The strategic location of this mountain in the north is not obvious. The caves in the mountain are crisscrossed and dense, just like the demonic snake passing through it during the period. The cave was formed by passing through. And because the soil of this mountain is crisp and pine, it can collapse at any time. Soldiers and local hunting people often fall in, and in the end even the bones are not found. Even if a large army enters, it is extremely dangerous, and there will be danger at any time. Due to the danger of the entire army being destroyed, this place was naturally ignored by Yue Qianming.
Yue Qianming couldn't help but secretly cursed himself for being stupid. He should have thought of this place earlier. Only this place could hide Li Deming's hundreds of thousands of troops. But he didn't know how Li Deming solved the problem of the army getting lost and the collapse. But this is no longer important. Now that his traces have been found, the rest is up to you.
Yue Qianming immediately recalled all the members of the Wujue Special Forces Team, and asked all 300 members of the Wujue Special Forces Team to lead 4,000 soldiers to guard all the known exits of Snake Cave Mountain. He ambushed a wave of troops sent by Li Deming to attack the northern border fortress. Ten thousand life-destroying troops.
A large number of soldiers were gathered to surround Demon Snake Mountain. They first burned the entire mountain with fire, but no one was seen escaping. They then asked the military's hundred-person spiritual cultivation team to cooperate with the martial arts special team to search the mountain. Only thousands of people were found. There were still corpses of soldiers of the Xia Geng Kingdom. Finally, a dry underground river was discovered in the largest cave in the Demonic Snake Mountain. Finally, after tracing along the river, it was discovered that this river leads directly to the border of the Xia Geng Kingdom. The nearby dammed river.
Yue Qianming thought that Li Deming must have led his army back to Xia Geng's country, so he immediately ordered people to raze the entire Demon Snake Mountain to the ground and fill up the river. In order to prevent Li Deming from coming back again, he built an observation post nearby. .
Although the defense line in the north did not suffer any major losses, Xia Geng's country only lost more than 10,000 life-killing troops. Yue Qianming also failed to complete the task assigned to him by Zhao Lingyun. Yue Qianming was really unwilling to let Li Deming return to Xia Geng's country after being beaten and disabled by his cavalry.
Immediately, scouts were sent to investigate Li Deming's movements. The scouts reported that Li Deming was only stationed in Baiye City of Xia Geng's country. As an important border town of Xia Geng's country, Baiye City had four soldiers on weekdays when there was no war. Thousands of defenders, and now that Li Deming is staying here, I don’t know what his purpose is. Does he still want to test whether the swords of our northern soldiers are sharp enough?
Yue Qianming was in Binghai City at this time, looking at the mountains at the border. At this time, the northern border was already covered by ice and snow, and he did not dare to relax in such bad weather. Li Deming had been in Baiye City and had not returned. There must be some plan to go to the Imperial Capital of the Xia Geng Kingdom. Now the entire border of the Xia Geng Kingdom is strictly guarded and no one can enter or leave. No news can be found at all, so we can only wait helplessly.
Yue Qianming also didn't believe that Li Deming led such a large number of troops this time and it ended in such a small fight. Without understanding the opponent's intentions, Yue Qianming decided to stop quietly and wait for the opponent's reaction before making arrangements. , making people stare closely at the movements of Baiye City and other frontier fortresses of the Xia Geng Kingdom.
