Chapter 407 Who invades whom?
Yunzhou.
Standing on the city wall of Yunzhou and looking into the distance, you can see a black line appearing on the distant horizon.
If you look closely through a telescope, you will find that it is not a black line at all, but a fully armed army.
Three figures were suspended in mid-air at the forefront of the army, slowly advancing with the line of troops.
The two old men on the left and right looked at the Yunzhou City in front of them and could feel a breath rising to the sky. It was the momentum condensed by the assembled army, but that momentum was not even half of the 100,000 troops behind them.
They did not take the mission of retaking Yunzhou and attacking the Kingdom of Yue seriously.
It is said that there is a semi-saint in Yunzhou, but with the combined efforts of the three of them, there is no semi-saint that they cannot defeat, except the emperors of the five dynasties.
Even if the other party is the Emperor of Daxia, in Yunzhou, the three of them are not unable to fight him.
Among the three, a man in black robe remained silent, while the other two old men were chatting leisurely, without any sense of urgency about the coming war.
"It's agreed that after we conquer Yue, you Xu family's five states, and we Zhang family's five states..."
"Of course you can, but our Xu family wants Bozhou."
"Bozhou is the capital of Yue State, much richer than other states. I can't just ask for it and give it to you. We'll decide by drawing lots when the time comes."
"That's fine..."
One of the old men glanced at the middle-aged man in black robe beside him and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Huang. If Zhaixing Tower wants to develop in Yue Country in the future, we will definitely help you..."
Huang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you both..."
As the army approached Yunzhou, the speed of the troops gradually slowed down and finally stopped completely.
Outside Yunzhou City, 60,000 revolutionary troops have also assembled.
The two powerful armies were facing each other from a distance. Even the birds in the sky had fled away early, and the world was silent.
The two semi-saints of Wei State sensed a powerful aura coming from the opposite side and their expressions changed slightly.
Although they were all at the sixth realm, the aura of the man opposite them was much stronger than theirs, and he might have already reached the peak of semi-saint.
They had never felt this kind of pressure from anyone other than the Emperor of Wei.
However, when they saw the man in black robe beside them, they felt relieved a little.
So what if the opponent is at the peak of Semi-Saint? No matter how strong he is, he is not capable of fighting three alone.
We have three semi-saints against one semi-saint, and our military strength is tens of thousands more than theirs. We have all the advantages, so there is naturally no need to worry.
"Woo~~~"
A majestic horn sounded, and one hundred thousand Wei troops charged forward.
With tens of thousands more troops than the enemy, there is no need to worry about troop deployment or tactics or strategy. The army can be completely crushed just by relying on its military strength.
Almost at the same time as the horn sounded, three figures flew towards Yunzhou and firmly locked onto the aura of the sixth realm in front of the Yunzhou army.
Soldiers versus soldiers, generals versus generals, half-saint versus half-saint.
When the armies were fighting, they had to delay or defeat the enemy's semi-saints to prevent them from affecting the army in the rear.
A flash of sword light suddenly appeared in front of them.
The three of them punched at the same time, and the power of heaven and earth condensed into three fist winds, which hit the sword light fiercely.
boom!
There was a loud noise coming from the front, the sword light collapsed, and the three fist winds also disappeared without a trace.
The semi-saint surnamed Xu stood in the air, looking at the figure opposite him, and said in a deep voice: "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be the head of Shushan Ling. How come Shushan Sect also became a running dog of the Great Xia court?"
Zhenren Taixu didn't waste time talking to them. He raised his hand and swung his sword. Another sword light a hundred feet long came across the space.
Wherever it went, even space was distorted.
The semi-saint surnamed Xu took a step forward and instantly appeared dozens of feet away. Facing the sword light, he suddenly threw a punch.
The sword light dissipated, and his body flew backwards for a distance, but he quickly stood firm again.
He retreated to the other two people, looked at Master Taixu opposite him, curled his lips, and said: "Master Ling, I admit that you are very strong. I am not your opponent alone, but you can withstand the three of us together...Puff!"
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and flew directly to a place not far in front of Master Taixu.
Also knocked flying and spurting blood was another semi-saint beside him.
The two turned around and looked at the middle-aged man in black robes, and shouted in anger at the same time: "Huang Yuan, you!"
The two were suddenly attacked from behind by the semi-saint and were caught off guard and seriously injured instantly. What was even worse was that Huang Yuan's attack sent them flying in front of a peak semi-saint.
The middle-aged man in black robe slowly withdrew his hands, looked at the two, and said: "Wei's invasion of Daxia is an unjust war. An unjust war will eventually fail. I advise you to turn back from your mistakes and not make the same mistake again..."
"Huang Yuan!"
"You traitor!"
"Your Majesty will not let you go!"
The two semi-saints from the aristocratic families never imagined that they would fall into the hands of their own people on this trip!
They are definitely no match for Master Taixu now.
With Huang Yuan, who is at the peak of his strength, the only thing he can do is to escape first.
The two of them acted decisively, their bodies turned into a trail of afterimages, and immediately fled towards the horizon.
Bang!
Bang!
But only two muffled sounds were heard, and the two men seemed to have hit an invisible wall and were bounced back.
"Draw a line on the ground to make a prison!"
"The Half-Saint of the Legalist School!"
After falling to the ground, although their heads were buzzing, they still figured out what had happened.
In addition to a warrior at the peak of the semi-saint level, there is also a semi-saint of the legalist school!
This made their hearts sink completely.
The appearance of the Half-Saint of the Legalists meant that not only could they not defeat them, they could not escape even if they wanted to.
This is indeed the case. An invisible cage has appeared around the two of them without them knowing when. If they were in their prime, they might have been able to break out, but after being seriously injured, they are already at the end of their strength and have no chance of breaking out of the Legalist cage.
Everything seems to take a long time, but in fact it happens in just an instant.
At this time, the 100,000-strong army of Wei State, gathered from several surrounding states, was still charging.
Of the three semi-saints on each side, one rebelled and two were captured. The army, which had high morale just now, suddenly became weak and no longer had the momentum it had just now.
"All troops, follow my orders!"
Although several generals of the Fifth Realm were also horrified, they had no choice at this moment. Once they showed cowardice, the military forces they had gathered with great difficulty would immediately collapse.
Unable to form a military force, in front of the three semi-saints, even an army of 100,000 would be nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered.
However, after the turmoil just now, many of the 100,000 people were already panicking, and that powerful military force was disintegrating at a rapid speed.
The momentum of an armored general continued to rise, and with the help of the troops behind him, he suddenly swung his sword.
A flash of knife light attacked Huang Yuan.
Facing the knife light, Huang Yuan's expression was solemn.
The combined attack of a hundred thousand troops must be treated with caution by even a semi-saint as powerful as him.
He did not act rashly and instantly set up several layers of defense around his body.
In just a moment, those layers of defense collapsed instantly, and the knife light passed through Huang Yuan's body and continued to move backwards.
Huang Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and whispered, "As expected of a military strategist..."
Only a military strategist can injure a semi-saint at the fifth level.
After being blocked by a semi-saint, the blade light eventually weakened a bit. Before it could touch the revolutionary army, it hit a wall in the void and collapsed completely...
Draw a circle on the ground to create a prison and block the space. It can be used for both attack and defense.
The attack from a hundred thousand troops already had a force close to that of a mid-stage semi-saint.
But for the three semi-saints, an army of one hundred thousand was obviously not enough.
Behind Master Taixu, thousands of sword shadows condensed and transformed into countless sword lights, pouring towards the Wei army.
The military force formed by a hundred thousand troops also formed a solid barrier, blocking all those sword lights.
But after enduring a blow from a peak semi-saint, they did not feel well either. Nearly a thousand of the weakest people in the army fainted instantly.
At the same time, the revolutionary army, with its morale boosted, has also come forward...
…
Wei State.
Above the main hall.
Emperor Wei was furious. He looked down in shock and anger and said in a stern voice, "What did you say? In addition to Yunzhou, another fifteen states have fallen?"
The Great Wei launched a surprise attack on the Xia Kingdom, but has only occupied thirteen states so far.
We occupied thirteen states of others, and had sixteen states occupied by others. Who was invading whom?
While facing the pincer attack from Wei and Chu, the Xia Kingdom was able to open up a new front and captured the Sixteen States of the Wei Kingdom in such a short period of time. So who is the weak country?
The officials of the Ministry of War were trembling in fear below.
Originally, it was impossible for Wei to lose so much land in a short period of time, but the problem was that the army was attacking Daxia at the front and had no time to return for defense, so it could only temporarily transfer troops from various states.
Although the manpower of each state was a little lacking, they were led by three semi-saints and their numbers far exceeded those of the enemy. Who could have thought that they would actually be defeated?
This defeat caused things to get out of hand.
The original garrisons of those states were withdrawn, leaving no one to defend. The enemy took advantage of the victory and pursued them, and they were able to capture city after city with great momentum...
The Minister of War could only say: "Your Majesty, we can't hesitate any longer. The enemy's offensive is fierce. The only way to stop their momentum now is to mobilize part of the army to defend..."
Emperor Wei said with a sullen face, "Send the order!"
At this point, there is really no choice. However, mobilizing part of the army will inevitably affect the battle situation on the front line.
Although those villains in Chu State also used troops against Xia State, they did not put in enough effort and have been advancing slowly so far. They were still thinking of taking advantage of others. He did not care about these things at first, but he did not expect that Yunzhou would fail one after another, which completely disrupted his plan...
Another thing that made him extremely angry was that Huang Yuan actually dared to rebel!
He is the only link between him and the alchemist. Now that Huang Yuan has rebelled, how can he find the alchemist and ask for the longevity elixir?
He scratched his hair, looking angry.
At this time, a eunuch came up with an exquisite wooden box in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, someone has presented you with a treasure."
Emperor Wei glanced at him, frowned and asked, "Who is it?"
The eunuch said, "Someone gave it to the guard on duty at the palace gate, and the guard brought it here."
Emperor Wei raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "When has there ever been a precedent in the palace for presenting treasures through guards? You have been by my side for decades, don't you understand this rule?"
The eunuch shuddered, then a confused look appeared on his face. He suddenly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I don't know why I brought these things here in a daze..."
Emperor Wei seemed to realize something, his eyelids twitched, and he said, "Get up, it's not your fault, the other party used the vertical and horizontal technique..."
He opened the wooden box and his eyes suddenly focused.
In the box was a transparent pill bottle, with a few blood-red pills inside.
He was very familiar with this kind of medicine.
Longevity pill!
There was a letter under the pill bottle.
Emperor Wei opened the letter and looked at it impatiently. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "It's him..."
Although Huang Yuan betrayed him, the alchemist still contacted him.
There is actually a strategist behind the other party?
However, none of this matters. What they want is the essence and blood that can be used to make elixirs, and what he wants is the elixir of longevity. Each of them gets what they need. As the emperor of the five dynasties, he doesn't care who they are, nor does he need to care.
However, the content of this letter...
Kill the Emperor of Xia...
Emperor Wei's eyes flashed with brilliance. If he could kill Emperor Xia, he would no longer have to worry about his life span...
