Chapter 179 Lure the enemy to go deep
The Qinghu King came prepared this time, and did not leave any chance for the Zhennan Palace.
Of the [-] demon army, the Green Fox King personally led [-], sitting in the camp of Jigu, as a countermeasure, and at the same time, it was to prevent the enemy from going over the Ancestral Dragon Mountain Range again and surprise the demon army's rear.
The remaining [-] demon troops were divided into four groups and attacked the four passes at the same time.
The Green Fox King just wants to make the enemy overwhelmed.
Facing the attack of the demon army, Qian Yuan's available troops were indeed a bit stretched.
First of all,
Because of the change of owner of the swaying county, no matter how unsafe the back of the fiefdom is, there is an enemy who is eyeing it. The two city guard brigades can't go to the front line to fight, and they need to stay in place to guard.
Secondly,
Because the demon army launched a tough battle, the independent cavalry brigade of the Southwest Corps had extremely limited space to play, let alone dared to go deep into the enemy's territory.
Only the first and second divisions of the Southwest Corps can really come in handy.
Two non-full-strength divisions, six brigades, and seven passes, the average strength of each pass is less than one brigade, let alone a reserve force.
With no choice, Qianyuan could only send out new battalions to assist in defense.
The recruit battalion has been recruited several times, and the number has expanded to 4000. Most of the recruits have passed the recruit training and can be sent to the battlefield at any time.
Otherwise, it's really difficult.
As for the personal guard battalion commanded by Xu Chu, because of the small number of troops, it can only be used as the last trump card in such a big battle and used at the most critical moment.
No wonder the Qinghu King dared to say that Qingqiu City would be flattened within half a month.
The Green Fox King is not talking big.
On the first day of the war, the demon army launched a fierce attack on the three fortresses located on the side of Qingqiu country.
The rear army is still setting up camp, and the front army has begun to launch a fierce attack on the pass under the cover of the Xuangui chariot, which is simply arrogant.
The human army stationed in the pass had no choice but to dare not go out of the city to fight.
Many soldiers are capricious.
As for the [-] demon troops on the side of Manniu Pass, they didn't rush to attack Yize Pass, but took the time to clean up the ruins of Manniu Pass. It seemed that the demon clan was about to give up Manniu Pass completely.
The onslaught continued for four full days.
The city walls of the three passes were battered into a thousand warehouses and hundreds of holes, torn and torn, soaked in blood and flesh foam, and against the backdrop of the setting sun, they looked desolate and tragic.
…………
Night, that is, Gu Daying.
Under the flickering candlelight in the camp of the Chinese Army, the Green Fox King looked cloudy and uncertain after reading the battle reports presented by the various ministries. The strength of the Southwest Corps was completely beyond his expectations.
In previous years, when fighting against the Second Division of the Fourth Army of the Dagan Army, according to the fierce attack intensity of the demon army, it would take almost two days to conquer the pass, let alone four days.
But now,
Although the demon army fought vigorously on the scene, the pass remained unmoved. No matter how violent the demon army launched an attack, the guards at the pass would be able to repel the demon army.
"It's only been a year, and it has become so strong."
The Green Fox King's eyes were gloomy. He had witnessed the rise of the Southwest Corps all the way. Every time they fought, they would be stronger than the last time.
Today, even in terms of individual combat power, the Southwest Corps is already on par with the Demon Army.
This growth rate is really terrifying.
Although the Qinghu King had expected that this battle would not be smooth sailing, he did not expect that the enemy would give him a slap in the face as soon as they fought.
If you continue to fight like this, you don't know what will happen.
Just when Qinghu King was worried about the prospect of the war, early the next morning, the front line sent the latest battle report, saying that the enemy troops stationed at the three major passes were completely withdrawn overnight.
"Retreat?"
The Qinghu King was stunned for a moment, but then he understood. Looking at it this way, the Southwest Corps was not as terrifying as he imagined. After four days of guarding, he finally couldn't hold on anymore.
If you continue to defend, the casualties will increase exponentially. It is better to retreat to the pass behind.
For some reason, the Green Fox King heaved a long sigh of relief.If the Southwest Corps had just been on the front line, and the demon army had fought for so long without any results, it would have dealt a huge blow to morale.
There will also be voices of doubt in the kingdom.
Now, what the Qinghu King has to do is to take advantage of the situation to conquer the four passes on the side of Dagan, enter the territory of Dagan, and avenge his shame.
The mighty army began to enter the fortress.
Of course, with the lesson learned from the bombing of Manniuguan, the King of Green Fox specially ordered the ministries to send out scouts to see if the enemy had done anything in the fortress.
The result is nothing.
Only then did the three-way army enter the pass to prepare for the next tough battle.
…………
July [-], sunny.
After resting for a day, the four demon armies launched a fierce attack at the same time.
After shrinking the line of defense, the Southwest Corps has an average of more than [-] troops stationed in each fortress, and they are more confident, and naturally they are not afraid of the attack of the demon army.
Both sides killed in the dark.
In this battle, the two races of humans and monsters invested a total of nearly [-] troops. It was the largest battle between the two races of humans and monsters in recent years.
It was also the first time that the human race resisted the attack of the demon race with a weak force.
"It's worthy of being the nemesis of the monster clan." The common people said so.
Even so, the Yaozu has an absolute advantage in military strength after all, and the Dagan people are still worried about the Southwest Corps and are paying close attention to this battle.
Even Bo Yun, who was in Shendu, stopped for a while.
…………
Zhaoyao Mountain, Taixu Sect.
On this day, Wu Yazi, the prefect of Zhaoyao, left Zhaoyao City and rushed to the Taixu Sect with Xue Shaoyun, the true disciple of Taixu Sect, to report the current situation to the head of the Taixu Sect.
Xue Shaoyun is not yet thirty and is already in the late stage of leaving his body. He is the most outstanding disciple of the second generation of Taixu Sect, and his talent in cultivation is almost comparable to that of Princess Qingcheng.
The newly formed monk group of Taixuzong is led by Xue Shaoyun.
The two of them flew with their swords in the sky above Zhaoyao Mountain, all with expressions of emotion and pride on their faces. In a short period of time, Taixuzong re-established the gate on Zhaoyao Mountain.
Those bandits and bandits who stayed in the mountains were all killed by Taixuzi and his disciples in one day, forcefully announcing the return of Taixu Sect.
During this period of time, while recruiting disciples aggressively, the structure of the sect was also being continuously improved, and institutions such as the Chuangong Hall, the Punishment Hall, the Alchemy Hall, the Artifact Hall, the Foreign Affairs Hall, and the Jiabing Hall were built one by one.
Among them, the most important one is the Foreign Affairs Hall.
The foreign affairs hall is in charge of secular affairs, and the elder Wu Yazi is in charge of it himself.As the elder of the foreign affairs hall, Wu Yazi also served as the prefect of Zhaoyao. For this reason, he even resumed his worldly name——Zhao Wuya.
Otherwise, a sheriff named Wu Yazi is really nondescript.
But after returning to the sect, Zhao Wuya became Wuyazi again, and he was even more proud of his identity. Being the governor of Laoshizi was just a last resort.
If possible, Wu Yazi prefers to concentrate on cultivating in the sect.
It can be seen from this that although the sect reborn from the ashes has begun to attach importance to secular power, its ideological roots have not changed, and an invisible line has still been drawn between the sect and the secular world.
The sect is still following the path of "absorbing the essence of the world and making up for the deficiencies of the sect". The difference is that the methods are more subtle and softer, and they know how to share the benefits with the aristocratic family.
The Jiabingtang is in charge of commanding the servant army - the Swagger Army, which is also managed by the true disciple Xue Shaoyun. Together with the monks, it can be seen that Xue Shaoyun is the third figure in Taixuzong.
The status is only below Taixuzi and Wuyazi.
When the three get together, they can basically decide the entire sect's major affairs.
While talking, the two had already descended to the main peak, Yuxu Peak, passed through the square where weeds could still be seen after a short rest, and entered the slightly shabby Yuxu Palace, which was hastily built.
"Meet the master (senior brother)!"
After entering the main hall, the two slapped Tai Xuzi who was sitting at the head.
As a great monk at the Soul Stage, Taixuzi could make everyone facing him feel an invisible pressure from the depths of their souls just by sitting there.
This kind of supreme coercion is unmatched by any secular power.
Even Xue Shaoyun, who has always been proud, became honest and respectful when he entered the hall, and took the lead in introducing the latest preparations for the Zhaoyao Army to Tai Xuzi.
As the head of the Jiabing Hall, Xue Shaoyun is the supreme commander of the swaying army. As for Zhao Xianrang, the leader of the swaying army, he is more like a military puppet with very limited power.
