Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

Seven days later, Yunhan Gorge was surrounded by mountains and forests. The terrain in the middle was flat, with only a wide road leading to the distance.

Shangguan Zhenyu and Meng Tian stood on the high mountain, overlooking the vast Yunhan Gorge landscape below.

Yunhan Gorge has four sides: east, west, north and south. The east is towards Fengzhou and the west is towards Lianqingfu.

The imperial army's Wu Guanxiong, Wang Bi, Wei Jingyun, and generals such as Zhong Lizhen, Ma Chao, and Fang Shiyuan of the Chu army stood behind Shangguan Zhenyu and Meng Tian respectively.

Each of the military generals was strong and powerful, with stern eyes, and they looked at the opposing generals from the corner of their eyes.

"General Meng, how about ambushing King Yu here?"

Shangguan Zhenyu said calmly, but in his heart he felt a little curious about the quiet and calm Meng Tian next to him.

He has already experienced Lu Bu's combat prowess. He is an unparalleled tiger general. He can even sense the terrifying momentum of Lu Bu's army hidden in Fengding City.

The formation of the Grandmaster Realm generals controlling the army!

The generals in the Tianwu Realm consolidate their troops!

The soul of Dazun realm generals gathering their armies!

Reaching the level of general in the Tianwu Realm, he can wield an army like an ordinary person.

This is especially true for military commanders in the Dharma Master Realm. They need the combination of the common beliefs of the general and the generals, the fervent will of the generals, and the steel body that needs to be exercised daily. The hearts of all the generals are connected, and a specific military soul is formed through the inspiration of the general's thoughts.

In this world of high martial arts, combat power is the most direct and effective method, especially military commanders.

One force can defeat ten!

The minds of the legion soldiers are connected, and the collective amplitude is stronger. The stronger the overall belief of the legion, the stronger the time to maintain the military spirit. The stronger the will, the stronger the feedback increase!

Therefore, for those who have reached the level of Dharma Master, no one will ever question their abilities.

On paper it's just a joke.

Therefore, Shangguan Zhenyu would not despise Meng Tian who suddenly appeared, let alone the mysterious commander sent by the King of Chu.

The more he saw Lu Bu, Meng Tian, ​​Zhong Limei, and Ma Chao, the more curious Shangguan Zhenyu became.

How did the King of Chu find these talents and recruit them under his command?

"This place is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is undulating. The entire territory can be integrated into a battle involving millions of troops. It is easier for the army to hide here and be difficult to find. It is indeed good." Meng Tian's determined eyes moved and he said loudly.

Shangguan Zhenyu asked again: "I wonder what General Meng thinks about King Zhanyu this time?"

Meng Tian smiled calmly and said: "General Shangguan has been at Yunhan Gorge for many days. Let General Shangguan arrange this battle. We will rush here in a hurry. King Yu's army will arrive soon. I'm afraid we won't have time to deploy."

Meng Tian's heart was bright and clear, whether it was because the imperial army was stronger than them, or because of Li Yuan's plan, this time the main attack was on King Yu, with the imperial army as the main force and them as the supplement.

Wu Guanxiong, who was behind Shangguan Zhenyu, smiled and said: "We have set up a fog formation in Yunhan Valley with a radius of thirty miles. By then, Yunhan Gorge will be filled with fog. This fog contains micro-toxic mist. If you breathe it for a long time, it will My limbs gradually became weak."

Zhong Lizhen, Ma Chao and other generals' expressions changed slightly.

Wu Guanxiong saw their slightly changed expressions and smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone, this mist is colorless and odorless. Just like the usual morning mist, the toxins are extremely weak. As long as the enemy soldiers smoke it for a long time and their limbs gradually become weak, even if they are in the Tianwu realm, It is difficult for a strong person in the Dharma Realm to feel the poison in the mist."

It’s not that Wu Guanxiong didn’t want to prepare a more poisonous poison, but that kind of poison requires a large amount and has a peculiar smell, which can easily be discovered by the enemy’s always-wary strong men in advance. After much thought, only this kind of poisonous mist is the most suitable. It can make the enemy unable to feel the toxins inside, relax their vigilance, and then become unconsciously weak during the battle.

This kind of toxin is very trace, and people in the acquired and innate realms can easily be poisoned, but those who are strong enough to be a master or above are difficult to be poisoned.

"Oh? Can this fog formation escape the detection of Yundu Valley?" Meng Tian turned around and looked at Shangguan Zhenyu and Wu Guanxiong curiously.

"Yundu Valley came with the army."

Yundu Valley is extremely good at using poison. Could it be that the mist formation of the imperial army could not be detected by the venerable Yundu Valley.

Meng Tian did not believe that Shangguan Zhenyu and Wu Guanxiong would ignore the existence of Yundu Valley.

Seeing Meng Tian reacting to the key factors so quickly, Wu Guanxiong's eyes flashed and he said with great confidence:

"Don't worry, General Meng. Prince Yu and the others won't notice."

Meng Tian's eyes moved slightly and he noticed a subject in Wu Guanxiong's words.

It's King Yu, not Yundu Valley!

Shangguan Zhenyu didn't want to dwell too much on this issue, but pointed to the vast Yunhan Valley stretching for twenty miles below and said: "After King Yu's army enters Yunhan Valley, with the help of the fog, we will first use the troops hidden around A volley of flying arrows was fired, and the boulders that had been prepared rolled over to cover the enemy troops and create chaos.

Therefore, when we cooperated for the first time, we each led our own armies and each took charge of our own responsibilities.

General Wang Bi, General Zhong Li, and General Ma Chao each led 100,000 Army Soul Corps soldiers to swoop toward the panicked enemy troops from both sides, cutting them into four battlefields.

At the exit of Yunhan Gorge in the east, General Ben led 150,000 phantom army soldiers to face King Yu's army directly.

The entrance to Yunhan Gorge in the west is blocked by General Meng, led by 100,000 elite soldiers.

Then Wei Jingyun, Xiao Feng, Fang Shiyuan, Song Zhi and other generals led 330,000 infantry regiments each to attack from the south and north and surround the enemy.

General Wu Guanxiong led the 120,000 black armor troops to hide outside the entrance of Yunhan Gorge in the west. If King Yu broke through the army's defense and escaped, General Wu would be the last line of defense.

If there are still surprise troops hidden behind King Yu, General Wu's Xuanjia Army will also be our last guarantee.

General Meng, what do you think? "

Shangguan Zhenyu looked at Meng Tian and asked.

Meng Tian's dark and profound eyes moved slightly, and his peripheral vision glanced at Wu Guanxiong, who was smiling without saying a word, and finally nodded slowly and said:

"Can!"

After hearing Meng Tian's response, Wang Bi, Wei Jingyun and other generals showed a smile on their faces, and looked at the Chu army generals more sincerely.

"Okay, once the battle starts, the powerful Tianwu Realm and the Venerable Dharma Realm hidden in the army will take action one after another to block our attack. This requires our strong men to start fighting with them!"

Shangguan Zhenyu looked at the Tianwu Realm experts and venerables on both sides.

At this time, the powerful men standing around the Tianwu realm and above nodded solemnly.

Wu Guanxiong looked at the solemn expressions on everyone's faces and smiled slightly: "Everyone, we are now so fully prepared, we will win this battle!"

"This battle must be won!"

All the generals responded one after another.

Zhong Lizhen and Ma Chao did the same, clenching their spears with a fiery look in their eyes.

……………………

At this time, King Yu's army, which was a hundred miles away, was slowly moving forward in the direction of Yunhan Gorge.

The general of the vanguard army was Lu Houhong, a general in the late Tianwu Realm. Lu Houhong was always alert to his surroundings along the way. Although King Yu had told him everything that this was an ambush and the ambush location was at Yunhan Gorge, he still had no defensive vigilance. , what if the enemy suddenly changes location.

Especially in the past two days, he had passed through several good places where he could ambush, which made his mental state tense.

As he got closer to Yunhan Gorge, Lu Houhong became more and more vigilant.

The deputy general next to him, Huang Hongnan, who was in the early stage of Tianwu Realm, said calmly: "Brother Lu, don't be nervous. His Highness King Yu has already said that the enemy is waiting for us at Yunhan Gorge. They are far away from there now. Let's recharge our batteries and wait. The last battle is the key.”

"Just because we are getting closer to Yunhan Gorge, we must be more vigilant." Lu Houhong looked heavy, his eyes always watching the terrain ahead.

Huang Hongnan shook his head silently. There is still a Venerable hidden in the army. They have not found any enemies. How could you find out in advance? Moreover, the army must have hidden formations to hide it. How can it be easily sensed.

Behind the vanguard army, nearly a million troops stretched for more than ten miles, with flags fluttering in the wind, sand and rocks flying, and dust and mist billowing.

As time goes by, the sun goes down and night falls.

King Yu's army has arrived thirty miles away from Yunhan Gorge.

At this time, Tang Cangtuo, who was standing on the high ridge, squinted his eyes and looked at the dark mountains ahead. After looking around, he waved his hand to signal the entire army to stop.

boom!

Following the command of the generals, the legions stopped.

"Camp where you are!"

Soon, bonfires continued to rise throughout the army, and the generals warned all soldiers that they must stay in uniform tonight and never leave their hands.

A dozen figures took advantage of the darkness and took off directly into the sky, quickly flying to the surrounding mountains and forests. They were secretly on guard, and scouts from each team were deployed in the surrounding mountains and forests within ten miles.

In the large tent in the center of the army, some high-level generals such as King Yu, Tang Cangtuo, Wei Wen, Wu Yuxue, Fengxue Louzhu, and Venerable Du gathered here.

"General Tang, isn't it unsafe now that we are so close to Yunhan Gorge?" Fengxue Building Master said with a frown.

Wu Yuxue and Venerable Du nodded, with nervous looks in their eyes.

On the way, King Yu had informed everyone of the situation. When these people learned that the imperial army was secretly cooperating with the King of Chu, they were panicked at first, but eventually turned into anger.

The eldest princess is so despicable!

Seeing the tension and confusion among the three people, Tang Cangtuo remained calm, with a hint of expectation in his tone:

"It would be nice if they could come for a sneak attack."

"Um???"

The Fengxue landlords opened their eyes wide.

Wei Wen on the side waved his feather fan lightly and chuckled lightly:

"This is General Tang's strategy to lure the enemy. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. Shangguan Zhenyu and the others must have laid many ambushes in Yunhan Gorge. Now let them see us resting in such a close place. If we can lure them We can’t help but attack us secretly, so that not only can we disrupt their deployment in Yunhan Gorge, but we can also discover it in time and gain a certain advantage.”

"Oh! Then will they come tonight?" After hearing Wei Wen's explanation, the Fengxue host immediately understood Tang Cangtuo's thoughts and said excitedly.

However, Tang Cangtuo's silent eyes and calm tone immediately extinguished the flames he had raised:

"Don't think about it. Tonight is the safest night. You can sleep peacefully."

Tang Cangtuo didn't think that such a situation would happen at all. He would enter Yunhan Gorge tomorrow and let the soldiers rest for a night to refresh themselves and eat and drink enough.

"call."

Wu Yuxue and Venerable Du sighed but breathed a sigh of relief.

Waiting is the most painful thing.

"Master Wu Pavilion, how prepared are you Ice and Snow Pavilion people?"

In the main seat, Prince Yu still looked calm and looked at Wu Yuxue with deep eyes.

Wu Yuxue said quickly: "Your Highness, don't worry. I informed Venerable Ice and Snow Pavilion Luo three days ago that she will be able to lead thirteen Tianwu Realm elders and three hundred elite disciples and thirty thousand soldiers to Yunhan Gorge tomorrow."

Venerable Luo is the last venerable person guarding the Ice and Snow Pavilion. He is in the late stage of Dharma Master Realm.

"Okay." King Yu nodded and glanced at the Fengxue Building Master.

The owner of Fengxue nodded slightly.

The 180,000 troops led by the two sages of the Beiming Family and the strong men of the Fengxue Tower have entered the Lianhan Mansion and are rushing here with all their strength. They will arrive at noon tomorrow.

When King Yu saw this, a light flashed in his eyes. Behind them, Du Longcheng and Beiming Shaochen had secretly followed them in batches with an army of 400,000 people. Once the war started, they could rush to the battlefield in half a day.

Originally, King Yu planned to let Luo Shouren and the others continue to secretly lead the army out of the city, but unexpectedly Huanqing City soon began to test Qingmu City. In addition, they came out too late and the reinforcements were too late, so Luo Shouren and Beiming were ordered to leave the city. Cang Tuo and the others should just continue to guard Aoki City.

The 900,000 troops plus the 210,000 troops and the 400,000 troops make up a total of 1.51 million troops, enough to eat the one million troops!

"Yunhan Valley is surrounded by mountains. Our million-strong army's front line is too long. Shangguan Zhenyu is likely to cut the battlefield from both sides, making it impossible for us to look at each other from the beginning to the end.

Shangguan Zhenyu fights bravely. He will definitely block the road at the front and want to lead the phantom army to kill all the way through our army's defense line.

I will lead the Qingmang Army in the front to resist Shangguan Zhenyu's attack.

Lei Zhengwu, you lead the Lei Shou Army in the last position. Once the war begins, he will first break through the surrounding army from the west, and assist General Du and various reinforcements to enter Yunhan Valley, while your army will focus on defense..."

In the military tent, Tang Cangtuo pointed to the topographic map of Yunhan Gorge in front of him, looked at the generals, and commanded tomorrow's combat deployment. A sonorous and powerful voice rang in the military tent.

In the firelight, the concise generals nodded repeatedly, illuminating their solemn but fiery faces.

……………………

When the distant east began to turn white, King Yu's army thirty miles away from Yunhan Gorge was already ready to go.

As they got closer and closer to Yunhan Gorge, a person from the vanguard team in front suddenly reported to Lu Houhong: "Report to General, there is a light morning fog in Yunhan Gorge ahead!"

"Chen Wu, are you sure it's Chen Wu?"

Lu Houhong stared closely at the soldier. Tang Cangtuo had already told him before that no matter what happened ahead, he needed to report it in time.

"Yes, it's Chenwu. Pharmacist Zhou from the army has confirmed it!"

the soldier confirmed.

"Go, report to General Tang immediately and ask the experts from Yundu Valley to come and confirm." Lu Houhong said cautiously.

"yes!"

Soon, Tang Cangtuo got the news, and with a cautious heart, he looked directly at Venerable Poison and said:

"Venerable Poison, please go and check it out."

"good."

Venerable Poison said nothing, nodded and rushed towards Yunhan Valley.

"Master Wu Pavilion, does morning fog often appear in Yunhan Gorge?" Tang Cangtuo looked at Wu Yuxue and asked.

"Yes, Yunhan Gorge is densely forested, and there is indeed morning mist in the morning." Wu Yuxue confirmed.

Soon, Venerable Poison flew back and reported to Tang Cangtuo, the center of the army:

"General Tang, it is indeed the morning mist in the mountains and forests. I didn't notice anything strange."

After receiving Venerable Poison's approval, Tang Cangtuo looked calm, thought for a while, and finally nodded:

"Keep going!" (End of chapter)
