The Sacred Ding

In winter, the sky is freezing cold, and lakes and rivers in the Northland are frozen one after another, but the rushing and roaring Wantao River and Nuchuan River are vast and turbulent, and the thinner ice layer simply can’t freeze. It was not until mid-November that the two pythons, the Wantao River and the Nuchuan River, which seemed to be difficult to tame, were finally completely sealed by a thick layer of ice. It was not until the spring and blossom in the coming year that the river ice melted again. Restore their power.

Demon Race’s long-prepared winter offensive against Beiling County is also fully launched at this time.

In November, although tens of millions of demonic weapons were transferred to the southern line, some soldiers and horses were left on the eastern and northern lines, driving a large number of zombies to infiltrate the territory of Beiling County. , Massacre.

Even if Chen Hai was forced to leave a large number of guards on the northern and eastern fronts, the civilian casualties were still heavy.

After all, the area where Human Race inhabits and multiplies in the south of the Heimao Desert and west of Zibai Mountain is too vast.

Once the monsters dispersed and penetrated in, the local guards had no way to guard the millions of villages not one drop of water can leak out.

Sometimes after the tragedy of the entire village being slaughtered, the nearby county government sent soldiers to respond to the suppression, and some monsters of spiritual wisdom drilled into the old forest deep in the mountains and wanted to capture Killing is also quite troublesome.

However, in any case, no matter how severe the situation on the northern and eastern routes is, it can barely be maintained. However, the Demon Race drives the zombies to infiltrate in the northern and eastern routes, and the main purpose is to contain them. The large number of soldiers and horses of the Beiling Army is difficult to fight south.

Demon Race’s winter offensive against Beiling County is focused on the southern line.

In early November, Demon Race assembled more than tens of millions of soldiers and horses on the southern route, among which 5,000,000 demonic weapons were assembled in Wuhouling and Yinhunling, forming a flanking attack on Mount Taihua and Lingzhou (Danxiadu) The trend.

Taihua Mountain and Lingzhou line are the junction of the eastern and southern lines of the Beiling Kingdom. It can also be said to be the core of the Devil Body system of the Beiling Kingdom. Once lost, the main force of the demonic weapon will be Moving north along the western foothills of Zibai Mountain and west along the north bank of the Wantao River will force the Beiling Army to completely abandon the vast area between the Wantao River and the Nuchuan River and shrink the defense line to the north of the Nuchuan River.

When the time comes, not only will the connection with Anzai County be severed, the entire Beiling County will be compressed into a long strip from east to west and narrow from north to south. The defense situation will be twice as bad. The Human Race habitat north of the Nuchuan River will also be damaged by infiltration, and the production situation such as farmland planting will become more severe.

Taihua Mountain and Lingzhou are the places to be guarded. Facing the threat of heavy soldiers from Demon Race, Chen Hai was also forced to stock up two hundred and 500,000 troops in Taihua Mountain and Lingzhou to guard against death. Ji Jiangye, For nearly 20 days, Xi Tongguang and other true monarchs gathered here to ensure that the defense line of Taihua Mountain and Lingzhou would not be torn apart by Demon Race before the river ice thaws.

However, the Anxi Defense Forces and the Vietnamese Army stood still after the Tianqi Defense Line. Chen Hai only has two million soldiers and horses left in his hands. It will stretch four ten thousand li from Lingzhou west to Hailing. Defensive line of defense is not one drop of water can leak out, and it is absolutely impossible to block a demonic weapon twice as much as oneself to the south of Wantao River.

In addition to Mount Taihua and Lingzhou, in the area south of the Nuchuan River, Chen Hai can only concentrate a limited force on the defense and deployment of Hailing, Tianshui, and Wu with the Heaven and Earth protective array. Chang and other key cities.

Aside from Hailing, Tianshui, Wuchang, etc., there are limited protection-level cities protected by the Heaven and Earth protection formation, not counting, there are also county-level cities between Nuchuan River and Wantao River. There are more than 6,000 cities, which are divided into twenty-four counties (twenty-four guards and ambassadors). However, not to mention counties and small towns, even big cities at the county and guard level will be abandoned at any time.

At this time, the only thing that can be a little comforting is that in the summer and autumn, the Demon General infiltrated in and dug the dams, causing flooding in the plain between the Nuchuan River and the Wantao River. A large number of houses and farmland were destroyed, and hundreds of millions of ordinary people were displaced. However, a considerable number of civilians were evacuated to the north of the Nuchuan River in advance.

However, this is only a little relief.

The area between the Nuchuan River and the Wantao River is too vast. Excluding the area west of Hailing City, there is an area of ​​four absolutely square miles.

The main force of the Beiling Army is still holding on to Lingzhou, Tianshui, and Hailing. Even from the state government to the counties, there are repeated lists and urgings. There are still a large number of civilians who are unable to give up their homes, or have a fluke mentality. , The journey was slow, and they were still stuck in the south of the Nuchuan River.

After parting with Fu Siyuan in Wuchang, Chen Hai rushed to Tianshui to gather the Dragon Xiang army.

In addition to Chen Hai’s banned guards, the Longxiang Army, the Beiling Army has 500,000 elite troops stationed in Tianshui, which can be said to be one of the most concentrated cities on the southern front.

Tianshui, in addition to being the county governor of Tianshui County, the Xiajiang Duhu Shifu and Tianshui Zhenzhu Fu are both located in Sky Water City. Celestial such as Tiger Mountain, Wu Zhidong, Yuan Yanxue, Jiang Pei, etc. Jun sits here.

Tianshui is located between Lingzhou and Hailing. It is two ten thousand li from Lingzhou to the west and Hailing to the east. It is backed by the spirit tortoise mountain that stretches for thousands of miles. Jitian Canal is divided from the east of the city. The water of the Wantao River connects to the Nuchuan River in the north, which may be said to be the second only to Lingzhou on the southern line.

Before the evil robbery broke out, Sky Water City was a super city with millions of households. After the Tashan defense line collapsed, the Lu family south of the Wantao River fled south, and a large number of civilians followed A small number of children of the clan in the Western border of Ann crossed the river and fled to the Sky Water City to take refuge.

Chen Hai was named the king of Beiling County. Not to mention the civilians in other prefectures and counties in Tianshui County. The residents in Sky Water City plus the refugees stranded here have exceeded two million.

After winter, people in all directions saw that there was a large army garrisoned in Sky Water City, and they dragged their homes to squeeze in. This made this city with a radius of hundreds of miles and the streets and alleys crowded. The number of refugees is so large that it may not be less than 4 5,000,000.

Chen Hai stood on the top of the south cliff of the spirit tortoise mountain and looked at the Sky Water City.

Although the last batch of blue whale-class and silver shark-class iron armored battleships entered the water camp of the Northern Part of City, they carried 100~200 million catties of grain and other materials into the city, but they squeezed in There are too many refugees.

Chen Hai sideways to Qin Tiger Mountain, Wu Zhidong and the others said: “Strict food rations must be implemented in the city at this time, and it is possible to survive until next spring.”

“Is it possible for Demon Race to change its plan and focus on Sky Water City?” Qin Tiger Mountain retracted his vision from the south bank of the turbulent river and asked worriedly.

In addition to Yinhunling and Wuhouling, Demon Race has established six large-scale strongholds on the south bank of the Wantao River, one of which is located at Hujuling 2,000 miles south of Sky Water City.

Since the beginning of winter, there have been millions of demonic weapons gathered in Hujuling, and the zombies are hiding the sky and covering the earth, not to mention the Dragon Emperor Cangyu, Chen Hai, Qin Tiger Mountain They are two thousand miles away, and they can clearly perceive the ghostly Old Demon in Hujuling from the strong baleful qi breath of Hujuling.

Chen Hai, they previously predicted that demonic weapon will not attack the Beiling Army’s key defenses on the north bank of the Wantao River in the early stage. They are also likely to avoid major battles with the Beiling Army in the early stage. After dividing the troops northward to a certain depth, they will join forces to capture and destroy the city on the south bank of the Nuchuan River on a large scale, but this is only Chen Hai’s prediction, and Demon Race may not use the troops as Chen Hai predicted.

If Demon Race doesn’t have much patience and wants to get rid of the Beiling Army more eagerly, or see that the Anxi Defense Forces, Nanzhao Defense Forces and the Vietnamese reinforcements are too weak to treat them Regardless of the threat, it is still possible to storm Taihua Mountain Lingzhou or Sky Water City regardless of casualties.

And as long as you win any of these two key points, it will make Demon Race’s subsequent attack on Beiling simple and clear.

If it is expected that the main demonic weapon will attack Sky Water City, then Chen Hai and Qin Tiger Mountain should evacuate all civilians from the city.

Once the demonic weapon is besieging Sky Water City, Sky Water City will only deploy a Ten Thousand Immortal Jade Demon Array at the southern foot of Spirit Tortoise Mountain. In fact, it is impossible to open the protective spirit shield at any time to push Sky Water City. The shelter of not one drop of water can leak out is in the spiritual shield.

When the time comes, even if the demonic weapon cannot penetrate the city, most of the houses in the city will be After being collapsed by the earthquake, it was impossible to survive how many civilians in the city.

Of course, considering that the demonic weapon is likely to be divided and interspersed, at this time the civilians in the city are evacuated to the north. There must be no way to pass the elite demonic weapon, and will only be interspersed to the north halfway. demonic weapon just snacks.

No matter what, the demonic weapon will not cross the river directly from the front of Sky Water City.

At this time, the ice layer of the Wantao River is already more than one foot thick, and the heavy heavenly secret war chariot has been crushed by it. It is no problem at all, but at this time, let’s not talk about Chen Hai, Cang Yu, Qin Tiger Mountain and others. Once he took the shot, he gathered more than a hundred Spirit Realm and Ming Aperture Realm sword repairs, and he was able to collapse the ice piece by piece.

However, the gap between Lingzhou City and Sky Water City, and from Sky Water City to Hailing City is too big.

Three-four hundred million demonic weapon Demon General, which can be dismantled into dozens or hundreds of shares to cross the river and reassemble. At the same time, it has such a powerful existence as heavenly demon in the middle and upper three realms, Chen However, Hai was unable to dismantle the Beiling Army into dozens or hundreds of shares and block them along the river.

In particular, the Old Demon of Xinshan, from Yongjing and Fengyongshan led the main force of Samsara Palace demonic weapon to go north, which greatly increased the number of Wing Demon elites assembled in the northern part of Demon Race, reaching more than 60,000 heads again. .

And the spirit birds that can be used for war in Beiling County have been consumed too much in the battles of Cangling River, Yinshan Mountain, and Star Fragmentation Gorge, and they lacked supplements. Currently, except for Lingzhou Major cities such as Hailing, Hailing, Tianshui, Wuchang, Xianhukou, Tianying City, Dongdu, and Beiling have small-scale poultry camps. The Royal Birds in the Dragon Xiang Army have only 8,000 staff.

In this situation, Chen Hai has no way to prevent the main demonic weapon from crossing the Wantao River in winter.

“There are already demonic weapons crossing the river in Yachuan, Zhujiang, Meitongling…” Miao Fengshan received a subordinate information at this time that the demonic weapon east of Sky Water City is about to move. , Relay it to Chen Hai, Cang Yu, Qin Tiger Mountain and the others.

Chen Hai nodded, said he knew it, but had no intention of making any deployment adjustments in response to the demonic weapon changes in Yachuan, Zhujiang, and Meitongling, and he did not rate the main force of the Longxiang Army to advance eastward to Mei The demonstrative weapon action in Tongling and Zhujiang area means delay.

Ghost Xi Old Demon is in the Huju Ridge south of Sky Water City, while Xin Shan stays in Yinhunling and stares at the soldiers and horses stationed in the Taihua Mountain and Lingzhou in Beiling. Chen Hai does not have Three Heads Six Arms, if you want to stare, you can only stare at this demonic weapon under the command of ghost Old Demon, which is located in Huju Ridge.

Hujuling’s demonic weapon didn’t hold back for long, and it moved eastward in the early morning of the 2nd day.

Ghostly Old Demon obviously wanted to establish a temporary base on the north bank of the demonic weapon that had crossed the river in Meitongling, four thousand miles away, and then it rushed over to the temporary base of Yimeitongling. This part of the demonic weapon Demon General was also cast on the north bank of the Wantao River, and the winter offensive was launched vigorously.

Demonic weapon chooses to cross the river north to enter the river section east of Tianshui, this can be considered a piece of good news.

At least the city between Tianshui and Hailing, for the time being, there is no need to consider being slaughtered by Demon Race.
