Chapter 133 Burning Chaoyun Mountain

"Probably not."

The other person swallowed, if something really happened to Chaoyun Mountain, it would be a terrible thing, even more terrifying than losing this battle.

Yidu County is the granary for the Tiandao rebels from all over China, and Chaoyun Mountain is where the entire Yidu County stores grain.

"Why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and send someone to investigate the situation."

The head of Dizong couldn't help shouting angrily.

After speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared.

The importance of Chaoyun Mountain is even more important than taking Youjiang City.

Winning Youjiang City was just a phased victory in the Yiyou battlefield.

But once the Chaoyun Mountain granary is burned, it will not only affect the Yiyou battlefield, but even all the Heavenly Dao Army in the entire Shenzhou.

What the war is fighting is nothing more than resources.

Especially the current scale of the Tiandao Army, Yidu County has more than 100 million troops, and there are also 100 million troops distributed in various states. Once the food is cut off, the consequences are unimaginable.

Innate warriors are indeed powerful, and can decide the outcome of one or two small-scale battles, but they cannot affect the entire land of China, let alone solve the food problem below.

The soaring flames, like a grand fireworks, ignited the sky of Yiyou County.

In Youjiang City, King Nanjing came to the head of the city and personally presided over the battle.

He didn't make a move, because Tiandaozong also had innate warriors.

Once shot, it will cause the situation to escalate and evolve into a duel between innates.

Now King Nanjing only has Xuanying around, and his opponent is Tiandaozong. To be conservative, he doesn't want to start a war of innateness.

Looking at the fire dozens of miles away, King Nanjing thought deeply about how exquisite this fire was and how timely it came.

It's time for this war to end.

The battle has reached this level, King Nanjing's plan has come to nothing, and he also doesn't want to continue the fight. This battle is just the beginning of troubled times. Next, he will have to face revenge from various families.

The three parties fought, and the two parties that split the imperial court did not gain any benefits, and suffered heavy losses.

"Could it be him?"

Yuwen Zunhe looked at the dazzling firelight in the dark night, and thought that Qin Yuan once mentioned a grand fireworks at the birthday banquet, "It really is a wonderful fireworks feast."

At the same time, the threat to Qin Yuan has increased by one point.

Letting Qin Yuan go this time is really letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Will there be a chance to kill him in the future?
Chaoyun Mountain.

"Here we have achieved a great victory in the Battle of Chaoyun Mountain, fulfilling the Lord's order."

Meng Tian looked at Chaoyun Mountain, which had turned into a volcano, with a smile on his face.

"I won the war again, and my strength has increased a lot, but unfortunately, I am still a little short of that step."

In Meng Tian's eyes, a gleam flashed, and at the same time, there was a hint of disappointment.

At the same time, the aura on Meng Tian's body continued to rise, obviously breaking through the realm.

"If the lord sees it, he must be very satisfied."

Looking at the burning mountain forest, Ma Feiteng couldn't help but sigh. "General Meng's strength has improved again. How many times has he broken through? I really envy you geniuses. You are so talented and different from ordinary people. Breaking through the realm is like drinking water."

Meng Tian comforted Ma Feiteng a few words and looked at Chaoyun Mountain with flames rising into the sky.

This time, the bottom line was drawn, and the granary of the Tiandao Army was directly burned down, cutting off the logistical support of the Tiandao Army.

Without this batch of important food, the Heavenly Dao Army could no longer fight a protracted war as before.

The longer the war drags on, the lower the odds of the Tiandao Army winning.

But how could a war that swept across the entire Liehan Dynasty end in a few years or even decades.

In short, the burning of Chaoyun Mountain will be a very important turning point.

The Tiandao Army, which is in full swing, will decline step by step.

Even if the Heavenly Dao Army had a few more pseudo-innate warriors by relying on the refining formation, it would not be able to change the situation.

This is a war of dynasties fighting for hegemony, not a battle between rivers and lakes. For wars that cost hundreds of thousands or millions, the role that innate warriors can play is very limited.

Moreover, with the advent of the era of vassal hegemony, who can compete for the power of the vassals in the world, which side will not have innate warriors to sit in command?

Yuan Ao is the first innate warrior to appear in the family, but definitely not the last.

"Shall we retreat to Shangling County, or join the lord?"

Ma Feiteng asked.

This time, Ma Feiteng led [-] Northern Qiang cavalry and [-] Xuanyong heavy cavalry led by Meng Tian sneaked into Shangling County.

A birthday banquet was held for King Nanjing, which attracted the attention of everyone in the world. At the same time, the Tiandao Army was not to be outdone and dispatched 50 troops to Youjiang City.

Because of this, Chaoyun Mountain's defense was much weaker than before.

In addition, the 11 troops led by Meng Tian and Ma Feiteng, all of whom were elite-level troops, easily captured Chaoyun Mountain.

Because Ma Feiteng performed very well in Xiping and Shangling counties, he was rewarded by Qin Yuan, and he was rewarded with a black scale armor and a long feather knife, a complete set of excellent equipment.

Today, one hundred thousand Northern Qiang cavalry are fully armed, and their combat effectiveness is more than five times stronger than before.

Become one of Qin Yuan's most elite troops.

"No, let's go to Yidu City!"

Meng Tian's eyes flashed with light.

The main force of the Tiandao Army is now deployed in the Xuanyou Battlefield and Youjiang City, while Yidu County, one of their base camps, has not many troops.

"Yidu City, you want to attack the city, but with the cavalry we lead now, it is not easy to attack the city."

Ma Feiteng thought for a while, then questioned.

"No, we just need to put pressure on the Heavenly Dao Army and make the situation in Yidu County even more chaotic."

Meng Tian smiled and said.

Now he has two choices. The first is to go south to support Qin Yuan. However, Qin Yuan has [-] ace troops under his command, as well as elites such as Bai Qi and Da Qin Huwei, so he may not be in fatal danger.

If Meng Tian goes to support, it won't do much. Even without reinforcements, I believe Qin Yuan can easily break through without risking his life.

On the other hand, the Tiandao Army sent 50 troops to press against Youjiang City, and dispatched many troops from Yidu City to deploy at various positions on the Xuanyou battlefield.

Coupled with the movement of Chaoyun Mountain, it must have been discovered by the Heavenly Dao Army.

At this time, Yidu City will definitely send troops to investigate the situation.

Therefore, the current Yidu City is when its military strength is the most empty.

If we don't attack Yidu City at this time, when will we wait?
To encircle Wei and save Zhao, once Yidu City is attacked, the layout of the Tiandao Army will inevitably be affected.

If the Tiandao army returns to support, the pressure on Qin Yuan will be weakened.

If the Heavenly Dao Army is not prepared to return to aid, then Meng Tian doesn't mind making a fake show and taking down Yidu City.

"Okay, everything will follow General Meng's orders."

Ma Feiteng said loudly, and began to mobilize the Northern Qiang cavalry under his hands.

Qin Yuan trusted Meng Tian very much, and handed over most of the military power to Meng Tian.

Moreover, in the order issued, all battles in Yidu City shall be decided by Meng Tian himself.

Ma Feiteng may not understand Qin Yuan's approach. After all, this is the most important military power, but it does not prevent him from obeying Meng Tian's orders.

However, after Ma Feiteng took refuge in Qin Yuan, he encountered some suspicion. After making military exploits repeatedly, he gradually gained Qin Yuan's trust and decentralization.

Ma Feiteng would never have imagined that Meng Tian, ​​as the general summoned by Qin Yuan, would have [-]% loyalty and achieve the effect of die-hard loyalty, no matter what, he would never do anything that would be detrimental to or betray Qin Yuan.

This is why Qin Yuan trusted Meng Tian and Bai Qi so much, and the middle and high-level generals of the major armies were all Great Qin Huwei.

For important letters, Qin Yuan handed them over to the summoned Great Qin Huwei to personally deliver them.

Of course, now that there is a special unit called the Red Blood Dragon Robe, the Red Blood Dragon Robe is the best choice for sending secret letters or news.

The 11 cavalry left quickly, leaving Chaoyun Mountain stretching for dozens of miles, filled with thick gunpowder smoke, and the flames could not be extinguished for a long time.

Youjiang, a large river running from north to south.

Not far away, a huge military camp was established.

At this moment, armies frantically surged out of the Youjiang barracks, armed with weapons and wearing cloth armor, and headed towards Youjiang City under the command of one order after another.

At the same time, less than three or four miles away, the alliance of princes and the army of the Heavenly Dao Army were fighting in full swing.

However, the three armies passed by just like that.

"It's not for us!"

Qin Yuan looked at the large army coming out of Youjiang Military Camp, and their purpose was very obvious, which was to go to Youjiang City.

Obviously, he received the order of King Nanjing to defend Youjiang City to the death.

The incident at Chaoyun Mountain not only did not cause the Tiandao Army to retreat, but instead caused the top management of the Tiandao Army to make a crazy decision.

That is to completely destroy a group of Tiandao Army soldiers to alleviate the subsequent food crisis.

Chaoyun Mountain was burned down, and the food shortage was a huge problem that would inevitably be faced. The remaining food and grass could not maintain the daily supply of more than 100 million soldiers of the Tiandao Army.

In a few days, the Heavenly Dao Army will collapse directly from the inside due to food problems, desertion, mutiny, etc.

In this case, it would be better to eliminate part of the Tiandao Army. Not only can it be turned into blood energy and reduce the rations of some soldiers, but it can also allow the Tiandao Army to survive this food crisis.

Kill two birds with one stone, why not have it.

If they could capture Youjiang City and defeat King Nanjing, it would be three birds with one stone.

The head of Dizong also had this idea. Now they are facing a food crisis. If they can defeat the army of King Nanjing and go all the way south to plunder the rich Nanjiang Jingzhou, then the food problem will not be a problem.

The cooperation between Tiandaozong and King Nanjing ended long after King Nanjing broke through his innate ability.

The Tiandao Army's attack on Youjiang City tonight was within King Nanjing's expectation, but also beyond his expectations. Unexpectedly, the Tiandao Army would attack the city like a lunatic, at all costs.

Until now, there were no fewer than [-] dead bodies lying outside Youjiang City.

Although the war is so cruel, it is not such a child's play.

Such a siege cannot be accepted by any force.

Such a large number of troops, placed in any state, is enough to support a medium-sized vassal force.

Human life is like a mustard!
The Youjiang city wall seemed to be a giant meat grinder, constantly harvesting the lives of soldiers from both sides.

However, it has nothing to do with Qin Yuan and others now.

Although the alliance of princes has been attacked one after another, the Heavenly Dao Army is chasing and killing them like crazy.

However, after they exited the scope of Xuanyou Battlefield, the Heavenly Dao Army no longer pursued them. Instead, they turned back and attacked King Nanjing's reinforcements.

"Is this out of danger?"

Zhao Zhen asked with lingering fear.

This time, it was already the biggest crisis he had encountered in his life.

"There will be no danger for now."

Qin Yuan nodded, "We have already left the coverage area of ​​Xuanyou Battlefield. If we continue to chase and kill us, it will not do any good, but it will damage our soldiers and generals."

The current army of the Alliance of Princes, although there are only about 20 left, is only half of what it was before.

But those who survived had experienced brutal battles and were all elite veterans.

If the Heavenly Dao Army wants to annihilate them, it will have to pay a huge price.

Whether it is King Nanjing or the Tiandao Army, they will not do this at all when there is not enough benefit or strategic significance.

Afterwards, Qin Yuan, Gongsun Chi, Zhao Zhen, Zhao Shangqian, Yuan Zi and others all gathered together to discuss the war.

"The change in Yidu County is just a call for troubled times."

Yuan Zi said calmly and looked around at the princes around him. These people were allies who would live and die together, but they might be respectable enemies in the future.

"Next is the era in which we play. I hope to see you in the future."

Yuan Zi, as a representative figure selected from the clan, obviously has a unique view on the situation in the world.

"I'm going back to Jizhou, Hedong. I hope to have the opportunity to see you on the battlefield in the future."

Yuan Zi thought for a while, then bowed his hands towards the crowd.

"Qin Yuan, although you are the youngest, you put the most pressure on me. I will target you when I go back. One day, I will lead an army to defeat you!"

There was pride in Yuan Zi's eyes. After being a member of the Yuan family, his talent, background, and resources were not weaker than anyone else. Even when facing Qin Yuan, he would not have any fear.

"Then I'll wait for you."

Qin Yuan smiled.

Will the two meet on the battlefield in the future?There is a great possibility.

Qin Yuan will definitely strive for world hegemony. The Yuan family behind Yuan Zi has become more and more powerful, and the future is promising.

Yuan Zi's conditions are much better than Qin Yuan's, and he will definitely be a strong enemy to dominate the world in the future.

Of course, if Yuan Zi is killed now, Qin Yuan is quite sure.

But it is meaningless, because one Yuan Zi died, and there was a second and a third.

The Yuan family has been standing for hundreds of thousands of years, and there are countless outstanding descendants. If you pick one out at random and train a little, you can become a prince.

Yuan Zi was able to get to this point, relying on the Yuan family, and he was one of the most outstanding children cultivated by the family, not the only one.

To destroy the power represented by Yuan Zi, the only way to truly defeat the Yuan Clan and the innate warrior Yuan Ao is.

Killing Yuan Zi at this time will not lose a prince in the world, but will completely offend Yuan Shi.

Not worth the candle.

Now is not the time to be an enemy of the Yuan family.

I believe that Yuan Zi can play a big role in the crusade against the Tiandao Army and the crusade against the King of Nanjing.

"Since everyone has already returned, I will not stay any longer. However, our temporary alliance has not been disbanded. After you go back, I hope to spend more time to eliminate the Heavenly Dao Army in various places and prevent it from expanding. If there is a chance , we can join forces to defeat the King of Southern Jing."

Gongsun Chi said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuan agreed with Gongsun Chi's proposal.

Everyone else nodded in agreement, and no one had any objections.
