Genshen: Starting from Liyue, he is equipped with the seals of the Six Kingdoms

In an era when wireless communications were not yet popular, Qunyu Pavilion, which was higher than Tianheng Mountain, was undoubtedly the best command center. The smoke ignited from here can be clearly seen even from dozens of miles away.

Thanks to the perfect beacon system left over from the Demon God War, Niyu, who was hundreds of miles away, received the information from Qunyu Pavilion in just ten minutes.

Thousands of monsters invaded the suburbs of Lisha.

The vast suburb of Lisha has a population of nearly two million, making it the most densely populated area after Liyue Port. The villages and towns here are dotted here and it is the most important food and raw material supply base in Liyue Port.

If Liyue Harbor is the heart of Liyue, then Lisha Jiao is the spleen of Liyue, an important blood storage organ. If Liyue loses Lishajiao, it would be like losing a person and losing his spleen. It's not that he won't be able to live, but he will definitely become anemic in the short term.

If it were normal times, it would not be impossible to temporarily abandon Lisha Suburbs, but now is a critical period for the confrontation between Liyue's financial industry and Northland Bank. Once the food and raw material supply base is lost, Liyue's national debt and Mora coins will definitely collapse. An irreversible fate!

Even if these properties are not considered, the two million civilians will not have time to retreat to Liyue Port in such a short period of time. If they are caught up by the monsters, it will immediately be a massacre!

Therefore, Qianyan Army had to try its best to rely on the Qingxupu-Lingjuguan-Dunyuling defense line that had been in disrepair to intercept the demonic tide.

This line of defense had been completely submerged in water during the Demon God War a thousand years ago, and it was basically impossible to repair it after the flood receded.

The defensive conditions on the east side of Qingxu Pu are the best. There are rivers and dangerous roads to guard, and with the Layer Rock Abyss Camp in front, there are only sporadic monsters to deal with.

The conditions of the Lingju Pass trail are not bad, there is a river pass to rely on, and it is also facing the rear of the Layer Rock Giant Abyss Camp.

The most troublesome area is the Dun Yuling area.

The enemies we face here come from the direction of Caiqiao Valley, and there are already a lot of them. Moreover, the terrain around Dunyuling is relatively flat, with many paths and no dangerous passes. It would take at least 100,000 troops to fill all the defense points here!

What's even worse is that we can't give up on the Yuling defense line at will. Once a large number of monsters are allowed to rush through here, it is okay to attack the northwest pass of Tianheng Mountain to the east. If they go south, they will rush into the hinterland of Lisha Suburbs, which is undefendable!

Faced with this situation, the Qianyan Army's strategy can only be to fight soldiers against generals. In addition to guarding some important nodes, the remaining elite forces are organized into dozens of small troops of more than a thousand people to roam among various key points. , strangled the invading monsters. Previously, the first vanguard unit of the monsters was ambushed and wiped out by the Qianyan Army, which had superior strength.

Now that the second wave of monsters is coming, with thousands of troops, the Qianyan Army is following the prescription and continues to concentrate its superior forces to eliminate or defeat small groups of enemies one by one.

The thread of life fluttered and tore off a beastly hound that was attacking. A spear floated over and pierced the skull of the beastly hound through its eyes, killing it instantly.

Ye Lan looked at the heroic girl and praised, "I didn't expect Mr. Yun's kung fu to be so good."

Yun Jin's breathing was a little rapid, her face was flushed, she shook her head when she heard this and said: "They are all just showy. In fact, killing enemies in battle is not as good as Miss Yelan... I usually need to diet to lose strength, but now I have some I can’t keep up.”

"Mr. Yun, please retreat to the rear of the military formation and rest for a while!"

As Ye Lan spoke, he called on the soldiers to speed up and chase the monster in front of him. After chasing for about a hundred steps, he saw a group of monsters emerging from the valley next to them, followed by three figures, their whole body shining with the light of elemental power.

She took a closer look and saw that it was Xingqiu, Chongyun and Xiangling.

These three young men often competed together in martial arts and were familiar with each other's moves, so they were organized into a team. They also lived up to the trust of Qianyan Army. The three of them formed an arrow and led hundreds of Qianyan Army to defeat five or six groups of monsters with overwhelming force.

The two teams joined together and strangled the remaining hundreds of monsters with three strikes, five strikes, and five strikes. Just as they were about to take a breath, they heard the sound of a horn coming from the distance.

Yelan listened attentively, and her face suddenly became serious, "Tens of thousands of monsters were found at the exit of Caiqiao Valley?"

Lieutenant Qianyan, who was accompanying the team, had an ugly face, "This is only the third wave, there are tens of thousands of them? According to general experience, there will only be more and more monsters in the follow-up, and they will come faster and faster... Should we shrink?" Troops, are you ready to retreat? If you fall into the demonic tide..."

Yelan thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and shook his head: "No! If you retreat at this time, all your previous efforts will be wasted! No matter what, the monster must be blocked to the north of Dunyuling!"

Lieutenant Qianyan nodded and suggested: "Since there are more than 10,000 enemies coming, each team will probably shrink its troops and prepare for echelon resistance. This is the convergence node of nearby roads. We might as well set up military formations here so that we can respond The brothers in front can block the monster's southward path again!"

Ye Lan did not object this time, and immediately gathered two teams of more than a thousand Qianyan Army soldiers, and formed a thin military formation on the spot.

After that, small groups of Qianyan Army continued to withdraw from the front line. When the soldiers with fighting ability saw the military formation here, they consciously joined in, and soon three to four thousand people were gathered at this point.

At this time, the monsters have also been killed. The two sides refuse to give in to each other, and it immediately becomes a big battle.

Wave after wave of monsters crashed into the solid military formation of the Qianyan Army like a tide. However, as time went by, the casualties of the Qianyan Army gradually increased, the soldiers gradually became tired, and the number of people able to fight was visibly reduced. .

After repelling the monster's attack again, Ye Lan shook her fingers that were bleeding from the bowstring, panting and looking at her comrades beside her.

Many people were too tired to stand and could only sit down and rest. Several young Eye of God holders were almost at their limit. Yun Jin, who was the weakest, had even lost strength and fainted.

Ye Lan found the former Qianyan Military Colonel and asked softly: "Can we still withdraw now?"

The captain smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If no reinforcements come to help cut off the rear, we will definitely not be able to retreat... It's better to just stay here and save some energy to kill a few more monsters!"

Ye Lan nodded and said: "Assign a few strong soldiers to take those young people back... They can still play a greater role and don't deserve to die here."

The captain nodded heavily, but then he remembered something and turned around and asked, "Miss Ye Lan, have we been here for two hours?"

"almost."

"But why didn't you hear the warning horn? It stands to reason that the fourth wave of monsters should have arrived long ago!"

Ye Lan was about to speak when she heard a loud horn sound coming from a distance, echoing in the valley for a long time.

"Does this mean...the monsters have retreated?" The captain's face was full of disbelief.

"No, it's not a retreat." Yelan let out a long breath, "It's the 'substitute' operation that started. Niyu's plan was successful!"
