"Don't be chaotic, don't be chaotic! Ye's army is defending with the tortoise shell formation, and the Chiyan army is backing up with the Queyue formation. Don't mess up your own formation! Hold on, hold on!"

Leng Jiayun and Mo Chen, who stayed in the formation, ordered loudly.At a loss, they had no choice but to fight with their backs.However, the coach left the battle, and the morale of the army was slackened.Even if the sergeants in red and black armor defended with all their might, they were powerless to resist the menacing allied forces of princes coming from behind.For a moment, someone in the army was ordered to rush forward, but more soldiers retreated desperately.One after another rubbing shoulders, pushing and shoving together, it is impossible to form an formation, and it is even difficult for a small team of dozens of people to resist.

At the same time, Luqiu Borong, who was in the coalition army on the opposite side, looked around at the crystal dome that was as imposing as Yujing Wannian Palace, and even more magnificent, and praised in a low voice:
"It turns out... this is where the ultimate power is buried!"

As early as half a day ago, she had discovered the traces of Jiang Yan and his party, but she ordered the scouts to follow them secretly, and did not easily reveal her whereabouts.However, after the young girl had a conversation with the male voice in the void before, she went to a high place, which made her suddenly feel panicked, and finally ordered the soldiers under her command to launch an attack.

Now she searched all over the front of the opponent's formation, and unexpectedly found that the Ye Kingdom Army and the Chiyan Army, whom she had always regarded as her confidant's scourge and did not dare to take it lightly, did not seem to be helped by the power of the ancestors. Like a plate of loose sand, it collapses at the touch of a finger.

The empress wearing thin scale armor was suddenly delighted—maybe, those three missing children have not yet obtained the power of the ancestors?
Seeing that she had the chance to win, she personally led the soldiers forward and ordered the soldiers in front to go all out, trying to wipe out the remnants on the opposite side.Furthermore, find a way to take the powerful power that created the mirage-like spectacle in front of you as your own!

Unexpectedly, before the elite soldiers charged again, there was a loud noise from behind, and the main force of the Chinese army was engulfed by a large wave of blue-purple flames rising out of thin air.

Before Luqiu Borong could react, dozens of "hissing" iron bullets flew in the air and landed in various places in the formation.All of a sudden, flames were everywhere, and the battle situation took a turn for the worse.The coalition forces of the princes who had already gained the upper hand were defeated by the enemy, and they were succumbed to the situation.

And it was Ying Rentong Yu Li who came under the banner of the peng hammerhead shark from the side of his formation.Relying on the remaining Skyfire Thunder in their hands, they quickly gained the upper hand with this surprise attack.

"If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have easily let these rebellious officials and thieves leave alive!"

Emperor Daxin also reacted immediately, cursed, and immediately ordered the left army to return to defense.However, the soldiers under his command were fighting in full swing in front of the battle, and no one took orders at all.

At the same time, Ying Ren, who was standing in the formation of the Peng State Army, looked at the scene in front of him and laughed quite complacently:
"The whole army advances! This time, the widow first lures you into the urn, and then draws the salary from the bottom of the pot. No matter how capable her Luqiu Borong is, she will definitely be defeated today!"

Back then, after Yinghuai, the ancestor of the Peng Kingdom, discovered the blue flame in the moon marsh, for some unknown reason, he ordered that all the relics of the ancestors found along with it be sealed up, and he brought his own body into the palace when he was dying. underground.What is even more paradoxical is that Yinghuai's mausoleum built in Lincang City, the capital of the king, is nothing more than a tomb of clothes.And the real place where the bones are buried, after more than a thousand years, even the descendants of the Ying family no longer know where it is located.

Later, relying on the insurmountable barrier that Lan Yan erected for their country, the rulers of the Peng Kingdom have even forgotten this story thousands of years ago.However, Ying Ren never mentioned to anyone that when he led his troops to quell the Shuodi Rebellion, not only was he able to find the ancestor's mausoleum by chance, but he was also able to get a glimpse of the secrets of the ancestors from the messy manuscripts left next to the bones. clues.

After that, more than sixty years later, Kunjie, Yu Li, and Ziyuan appeared one after another on the Chaolei Hall, making his desire for the power of the ancestors even more intense.

It is precisely because of this that, from the day the Empress announced her accession to the throne at Suoyang Pass, Ying Ren had already made up her mind - as a minister of great promotion to quell the Shuodi Rebellion, she made great contributions.Coupled with the fact that he has not aged for more than [-] years, it makes him believe that he is the chosen one.

So even though he bowed his head to Luqiu Borong on the surface, he was always observing secretly, looking for the opponent's weakness.And Yu Li, who had lost his voice before, suddenly appeared, and even improved Lan Yan into a more lethal Skyfire Thunder, which made the already conceited Lord Peng feel that the opportunity he had waited for decades had finally arrived. up.

It's just that I didn't think about it. I gave an order, but I didn't hear the order from someone around me for a long time.Only then did Duke Peng realize that something was wrong, he immediately turned his head and shouted at the lieutenant beside him:

"Why didn't you pass the order? Could it be that you don't want the benefits that the widow promised you?"

However, what responded to him was not the lieutenant general's frightened face, but a cold iron pipe pointing directly between his eyebrows, and Yu Li, who looked ferocious and murderous on the opposite side of the iron pipe.

"General Yu——shouldn't he lead the army to the front at this moment, how can he escape and come back?!"

The young general on the opposite side smiled coldly:
"Those soldiers under your command want to kill the enemy and strive for success. Why do you need me to go to the front line to supervise the battle and fight for your life? But the king of the country has planned to monopolize the power of the ancestors from the very beginning, and then dominate the world. Ordering me to be a pioneer is also a good idea. It's nothing more than wanting to use Luqiu Borong's hand to eradicate those who want to share the world with you. It's just a pity that I'm not as easy to deceive as you think!"

"It's nonsense! General Yu, don't listen to other people's instigation and be alienated!"

Ying Ren's heart trembled suddenly, she never thought that the pawn in her hand would be in trouble at such a critical moment, so she immediately tried to persuade her.Unexpectedly, the young general shook his head, and slowly clasped his hand on the mechanism used to fire the bolt gun:
"Do you still need to provoke? What is the deep friendship between you and me that is worthy of being separated by others? Although the lord of the country said that he wanted to 'govern the world' with me, now I want to go back on my word, can't I?"

Indeed, from the beginning to the end, Duke Peng never seriously considered that one day he would rule the world together with this young man in front of him.He originally planned to order the Peng Guo army who was in charge of the formation to cover up and kill them after breaking through the military formation, so that no one would be left alive.It's just that he has calculated thousands of times, but he didn't expect that the other party would have the same calculation as himself, and he didn't expect that he would take a step ahead and successfully counter him.

The helpless thing is, now that the firebolt is on the head, Ying Ren dare not act rashly for a while, and can only hope that his words can shake the opponent and make him reveal his flaws:

"Shameless! The widow borrowed soldiers and boats, and trusted you like his own son. Is this how you repay the widow?!"

Yu Li on the opposite side had already made up his mind, and he pulled the trigger before Ying Ren could finish speaking.With a loud bang from the firebolt gun, red flames gushed out from the muzzle accompanied by heat waves, spraying on Duke Peng's already disfigured face.The iron bullet fired from the gun also pierced directly between his eyebrows, smashing his skull to pieces.

The ambitious Duke Peng, who had been planning for a long time, died tragically in this huge gambling game set by himself in such a rather ironic way.It's just that he didn't realize until the end that he was actually a chess piece that could be discarded at any time on the chessboard in the world, played and ridiculed by fate in the dark.

"Old man, by granting me a small favor, you dare to pretend to regard me as your son? The person who said this before even wanted to take my life in public. No matter how stupid I am, I will never be fooled again!"

Yu Li spat hard at the corpse of Duke Peng on the ground, and then waved his hand.The "Orphan Army" who sneaked back to the formation with him also immediately attacked, and killed all the guards of the Peng Army who had witnessed Yu Li's murder.

"The spies of Ye Kingdom broke into the formation, and killed the lord to seize military power! This general has now executed the assassin, and ordered the army to kill the enemy with all their strength, and go to the country together! Once you encounter anyone who dares to stop, regardless of gender, regardless of ghosts and gods, you will be killed! "

The Peng Guo army in front of the battle heard that the king was assassinated, but it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the false news, and it was even more difficult to investigate the origin of the case.However, hearing that the general was still there, he had to be urged by the school's voice, so he raised the fire-throwing crossbow in his hand in fear and anger, and threw all the skyfire thunders into the enemy's formation.

On the other side of the battlefield, the Red Flame Army and the Xuanjia Army, which had already been on the verge of collapse, suddenly felt the pressure from the soldiers drop sharply.When I went to look, I saw a blue-purple flame in the formation of the soldiers, and the formation that was originally wide open and closed quickly shrank back.

At the same time, Jiang Yan and Qi Ziyin finally had to return to their side.Looking forward to the return of the coach, all the soldiers immediately seized this rare opportunity to regroup, turned from defense to offense, and counterattacked towards the coalition forces of the princes.

Luqiu Borong didn't expect that the little advantage he had accumulated with great care along the way fell short at the last moment.However, the situation on the battlefield has reversed, and she, who had the chance to win, had to order her soldiers to stand firm in place—after all, if she is defeated here, not only is there no hope of gaining the power of the ancestors, but even the young man who just sat down will be hopeless. It will also be difficult to keep the position of Daxin Emperor.

In this way, one white, one red, one Xuan, and one blue soldiers fought together, each in formation.A slight advance by one side will attract the other two sides to join forces to attack, and they are caught in a seemingly endless tug-of-war. It seems that the final victory can only be determined when all the soldiers are dead in battle.

But this scuffle that took place outside the borders of the dynasty is rarely known to the world.Even in such a masterpiece as "Shi Yu Lu", there is not a single word left.The princes and states seem to have made an agreement, and kept silent about the war that took place in the depths of this ice sheet.Even the family members of the soldiers who died here have never raised any doubts.

However, in a later unofficial history novel called "The Legend of Youlong", the words between the lines are like anecdotes, but they are special to this period of history that scholars at that time could not take on the table.

The book calls this war on the ice sheet the "Four Masters Struggle for Hegemony", and the tragedy and despair of the war overflows on paper.And a few lines of poems in it are more like the best commentary on this battle made by later generations.The poem says:
"... After the war, we will be determined to deal with the world, and forget the name of the past and the future. Remember where the old man is today? The pity happened for nothing!"

But even in the "Biography of Youlong", many details about the aftermath of this "four masters' struggle for supremacy" are unclear, and several years have been skipped.

And that day, when the fighting intensified, the loud shouts of killing and the clashing of swords and soldiers in everyone's ears were actually interrupted by a series of sudden strange noises.

That strange sound was different from any sound they had heard before.At first, it buzzed rhythmically like a swarm of bees flying, and at the same time, the lights in the underground space flickered violently.Immediately afterwards, there was a sound like a hurricane raging, and a sound like a tsunami, which lasted for a long time.It was like a giant who had held its breath for a long time, and started breathing again with its dry mouth and nose.

Furthermore, violent earthquakes struck under everyone's feet again.What followed was the sharp noise of metal rubbing together, and the roar of a wildfire erupting.As the vibration intensified, the underground space they were in unexpectedly rose to the surface of the ice without knowing how deep it was.

The surrounding crystal walls are now unfolding like a blooming stamen.The eternal night on the ice field of Guizhou, accompanied by the howling cold wind, engulfed everyone present again!
"What's going on? We—why are we on the ice?!"

Qi Ziyin, who had just led his army into the enemy's formation, suddenly raised his head, looked at the towering silver-white spire above his head that pierced into the sky, and realized that something seemed to be happening.However, at this moment, all the armored soldiers around them had already turned red-eyed, and they only tried their best to meet the enemy.Ye Guojun in black armor and Guan Ning soldiers in white armor mixed together, like ink poured into milk.

"Stop, stop fighting! Listen, there is something weird in the wind!"

The young Lord Ye roared loudly with all his strength.But even if his words were heard by the nearby sergeants, those who just wanted to stop were either killed by the enemy's butcher's knife, or were forced to wave their weapons again.The young man standing among them seemed to be the only rock in the torrent of flesh and blood that was not involved in the vortex.

He had no choice but to swing Yinya, swung away several soldiers attacking in front of him, and stretched his neck to find General Yan and Ning Yue who were scattered in the melee.But among the chaotic army shrouded in darkness, it was impossible to see who was wearing red armor and who had long hair like fire.

It wasn't until there were screams outside the army formation that there were loud voices ordering to stop the war.The soldiers fighting together gradually stopped, but they still held up their weapons nervously and confronted each other. Looking around, no one understood what happened.

But soon, the screams from the wind became louder and clearer.As soon as he heard it, all the hairs on Qi Ziyin's body stood upside down——

It wasn't a human roaring, but a fierce wolf howling!The white-clothed boy could hardly remember how long it had been since he heard this frightening roar last time.But it is obvious that those terrifying monsters like nightmares did not disappear after the Yujing battle, but followed Kunjie to this ice field in secret.

Right now, one after another howls came from all directions, which made people tremble with fear.And the soldiers from all walks of life mixed together, like prey in a trap, were completely surrounded by a pack of wolves that appeared from nowhere without knowing it!
