In the battle of Wanjia Town, a total of nearly 400,000 Cheyue coalition troops were annihilated, and countless weapons and equipment were seized, as well as hundreds of thousands of war horses. This not only dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the Cheyue states and the black sect, but also greatly improved the Holy Sect.
Due to the reputation of Hengshan County, when the holy army returned to the city, it was warmly welcomed by the people, and the entire Hengshan City was boiling.
In the past, the governor of Hengshan County, Liu Gang, was weak, and all his thoughts were on how to squeeze the people. He neither used military force nor had a good foreign policy. As a result, Hengshan County has always been synonymous with poverty and backwardness in Cheyue Kingdom. But now the people in Shengshan County are
I saw hope in the teacher.
Yu Heihu, Hongyan and others organized people to rebuild Wanjia Town. Zhang Cong and the others have already begun to discuss the recovery of Tianhuo, Luohu and Yunlan counties. The biggest losses this time are in these three counties, from Tianhuo County to the county magistrate.
The basic army and the senior monks of the Black Sect have all been exhausted. The governors of Luohu Prefecture and Yunlan County are dead, and there are not many troops left. Even if the Che Yue court establishes new governors, the prefectures and counties will not quickly form combat capabilities.
It's a good time to start.
Zhang Cong and the others have a different attitude towards these three counties than towards Hengshan County. Iron-blooded methods must be the first choice, followed by sticks and candies, especially in Tianhuo County. It is said that the mountain people in Tianhuo County are unruly, and many tribes
There were private soldiers, and it turned out that the interests of the county government were the first priority. Zhang Cong decided to ruthlessly destroy several cottages that were trying to assassinate them, and established his prestige by killing them.
Hengshan County is not on the edge of the Cheyue Kingdom. The reason why the Cheyue Allied Forces have been attacking from one side of Tianhuo County is because the other side borders Qinghu County and is a very wide river. Without a bridge, it would be difficult.
Cross over.
Zhang Cong and others had predicted whether the Cheyue Kingdom could forcefully cross the Qinghe River to attack Hengshan County. Even if they wanted to attack by force, it would be reasonable to wait until the dry season in winter. Therefore, Zhang Cong's method was to arrange 20,000 troops on the river bank.
The Nether Army guards the borders.
Now after several battles, the Holy Cult Protector Group in Hengshan County has lost only a few thousand people. Moreover, because of several conquests by Che Yue Kingdom, the public was furious. It was a good time to send troops, so Zhang Cong decided to send troops to Tianhuo County in half a month.
.
Zhang Cong does not bring heavy siege equipment. Among the star beasts in Qin Fu Divine Mansion, there are thousands of flying star beasts, and they are huge and can be used as an air force. Qin Yu has already recruited two thousand
The holy monks in the Qi Refining Period formed an air combat legion and produced a large number of empty bombs.
The air combat corps only took three days to build the necessary flight equipment, and after experiments, it was ready for combat.
A thousand flying star beasts themselves have their own attack attributes, and after being controlled by monks, their combat power has been increased again. The air combat army has suddenly become the most terrifying group in heaven, and has directly become Xiaohua's imperial army.
Qin Yu selected another 5,000 giant elephants, each of which was dozens of feet tall, to form the Holy Elephant Legion. Each giant elephant was equipped with three holy guardians, carrying an automatic crossbow formation and artillery, making it the most powerful mobile fort.
, you can directly attack the city wall from a high position.
The Holy Elephant Legion returned to Qin Yu.
The remaining star beasts are all under the command of Qin Fu. Now Xiaohua and Qin Fu's wish power has reached the late stage of the golden elixir, and they can release more things. The level of releasing ice spirits and Nether clan has also reached the golden elixir.
In the later stage of Dan, apart from being unable to cast chaos spells, the two men's combat prowess was already astonishing.
Xiao Hua has the Seven Treasure Tree, a sacred weapon, which is equally terrifying to cast Western spells. Although Qin Fu's Lotus Lantern cannot yet cast verbal spells, it has been able to open part of the Nirvana Space and restored many of Thunder Sound's spells.
It's just that Zhang Cong and Qin Yu are still in the Qi refining stage, but they can use some simple Wutian techniques to protect themselves.
After the Holy Cult transferred men and horses from the reserves to add to the heavy cavalry army, after half a month of running in, the combat strength was basically formed.
Hong Yan distributed a large number of captured war horses and weapons to various towns and villages, and organized hundreds of thousands of local soldiers. Together with the 50,000 reserve light cavalry, Hengshan County's combat power was already terrifying.
Nearly 70,000 members of the Holy Cult Protector Corps and various military branches gathered on the plain outside Hengshan City. The people in the city stood on the city wall to watch. For the first time, these people saw a giant elephant that was dozens of feet tall and a flying star that was ten feet in size.
The beasts were all stunned and stunned.
Xiaohua stepped on the snow phoenix and said loudly: "The Black Sect and Cheyue Royal Court disregarded the life and death of the people in the world and brazenly launched a war against Hengshan County, causing all lives to be devastated and the people to live in dire straits. The Holy Ancestor took pity on the believers of our Holy Sect and thousands of living beings and sent divine beasts to help in the battle.
Today, our Holy Religion sends troops to attack Tianhuo County, completely eliminate the threat from Hengshan County, and return the people to a new era of peace and contentment. I also hope that the followers of the Holy Religion will be grateful for the mercy of the Holy Ancestor, chant scriptures every day, and pray for the soldiers on the front line."
After two days of talking and trumpeting, the army slowly started to move towards Wanjia Town.
These 70,000 guardians were all cavalry, and they marched very fast. They had arrived at Chiyang Pass in more than two hours.
The scouts sent out this time were the Netherworld Army. The environment of Tianhuo County was complex and mountainous, and the tribes in the mountains had their own forts and private soldiers. Zhang Cong did not want to lose a single scout soldier, so thousands of Netherworld soldiers acted as sentinels.
After crossing Chiyang Mountain, we encountered a large pass. This is Chiyang Pass, the most important town on the border of Tianhuo County. Originally there were 50,000 soldiers garrisoned, but now there are only 20,000 soldiers left, but 30,000 local soldiers were temporarily mobilized.
Assist in defense.
Chiyang Pass is 30 feet high, and there are a large number of catapults and bombing crossbows deployed. According to the estimation of the new governor Zhang Xing, even if the Hengshan Army attacks, it will still be no problem to wait for reinforcements for several days.
After the deaths of the governors of Tianhuo, Luohu and Yunlan, Emperor Huan immediately accepted their relatives as the new governors, and mobilized 200,000 troops and tens of thousands of Black Sect monks from various counties to station in Tianhuo County.
I want to use the natural danger of Tianhuo County to block the Hengshan Army's attack.
After Nether Scout reported the situation to Zhang Cong, Zhang Cong directly asked Xiaohua to lead the air combat army to attack and blow up Chiyang Pass to pieces.
A thousand huge star beasts fell from the sky like dark clouds, and dense bombs roared down. In an instant, Chiyang Pass turned into a sea of poison. Once the bombs mixed with deadly bacteria and poison exploded, poisonous fog suddenly filled the entire valley.
middle.
The originally confident Skyfire defenders were immediately stunned. This situation was beyond their imagination. The large number of catapults and bombs placed at the top of the city actually added to the bombardment from the sky, and even the city walls collapsed several times.
meters, the officers and soldiers on the city wall were blown up until nothing was left.
In less than ten minutes, there was basically no living thing in Chiyang Pass. The flying soldiers disembarked from the Star Beast, opened the city gate, and the army passed directly through the city. After collecting the supplies in the city, they immediately set off and continued forward.
Quite close.
Qin Yu has many types of bombs. This kind of toxin bomb is the most suitable for attacking cities. It not only does not damage buildings, but also kills living forces the fastest. This is what Zhang Cong specially ordered. The territory he has laid down will be his own from now on.
It's a scorched earth, and it will cost money to rebuild.
The terrain of Tianhuo County is indeed very dangerous. Starting from Chiyang Pass, it is almost all mountainous. There is a pass for more than ten miles. To get out of the Chiyang Mountains, you need to pass through seven dangerous passes. Zhang Cong and the others' actions at Chiyang Pass were...
It has been noticed by the second Jiuyang Pass.
Although the mountain road is rugged and blocked by mountains, the sound of the explosion can still be heard far away. When the defenders of Jiuyang Pass heard the explosion, they immediately entered a battle-ready state. Almost all of them went up to the city wall and the cliffs on both sides of the mountain col.
.
There are only 20,000 defenders at Jiuyang Pass. Although the number is small, Jiuyang Pass is a dangerous place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The valley here is less than 100 meters long, and there are cliffs on both sides. It can be said that one man is in charge of the pass.
No one can open it.
Three miles away from Jiuyang Pass, Zhang Cong asked all the troops to stop. Xiaohua looked at the defenders at Jiuyang Pass and said with a smile: "This Jiuyang Pass is a dangerous place. Sir, let's not waste bombs. Let's start from here."
, let the Nether Clan and Ice Spirit pass the level all the way, what we want is speed, as for how to fight, of course it is how to save trouble?"
Zhang Cong nodded, and the colorful treasure tree in Xiao Hua's hand flashed with light, and immediately hundreds of thousands of ice spirits and ghosts pounced on it silently.
No matter how dangerous the terrain is, for the flying and incorporeal ghost, it is no different from the flat ground. When the defenders of Jiuyang Pass saw a flash of colored light in a woman's hand, they knew that the enemy was about to attack, and they immediately nervously controlled the throwing of stones.
The car was waiting for the enemy to approach, but at this moment, large swaths of frost began to cover the cliffs and the city, and groups of generals disappeared silently and turned into ice sculptures.
Ice Spirit and Netherworld are blowing by like a gust of wind, leaving no life wherever they go. The Ice Spirit and Netherworld that are coming out now are powerful characters that can reach the late stage of Golden Core. Although they are garbage outside the territory and Blue Star Golden Core, but
The strength of these Nether Ice Spirits has reached the level of Tianzun or above. However, because Xiaohua and Qin Fu have not yet recovered to such a high level of cultivation, their performance has been suppressed to this point. However, in Cheyue Kingdom, the cultivation level of Jindan is already extremely high.
.
In the blink of an eye, Jiuyang Pass turned into an ice city. Countless soldiers had their souls taken away and turned into ice sculptures. With a wave of the small flower tree, the star beasts of the air combat legion immediately landed in the city, began to devour the corpses, and opened the city gate.
, the baggage troops were responsible for cleaning the battlefield, while Netherworld and Bingling had already rushed towards the next level.
Starting from Chiyang Pass, the Holy Legion passed through the passes one by one almost at a normal marching speed. Except for the baggage troops, which were a little slow in cleaning the battlefield, when the army passed through the seventh pass and entered the Luoyang Plain, time would pass.
But it took three hours.
The Seven Passes killed more than 100,000 Tianhuo defenders. Of course, more than half of them were soldiers from the mountain tribes. However, it also greatly damaged the morale of Tianhuo County. More than a dozen mountain tribes were stationed in Chiyang Mountain, and all of them died.
There were 70,000 to 80,000 native soldiers, which greatly damaged the vitality of these tribes. This would play a big role in conquering these tribes in the future.
