Chapter 2007 Three Battle Forts

The scouts rode on dragon horses and rushed towards the Third Company Battle Fort with all their strength.

Fang Yun looked at the end of the sky. Three huge black fortresses were connected together. In the sky further away, hundreds of hawks were hovering in the sky.

"snort!"

Fang Yun snorted coldly, and saw clouds forming in the clear sky where the eagle demon was hovering, dark clouds rolling, lightning and thunder, instantly killing all the eagle demons under the demon king, and even the eagle demon king hurriedly descended.

A heavy downpour was about to fall in the distance, and a strange red light rose into the sky, driving away all the dark clouds.

The power of the barbarian semi-holy treasure Burning Sky Furnace.

Subsequently, dark clouds continued to gather over the barbarians, but they were repeatedly dispersed by the power of the Burning Sky Furnace.

The weather in August is actually more cloudy and cloudy than in June and July.

After traveling a full two hundred miles, Fang Yun stopped testing the power of the Burning Heaven Furnace.

The eyes of the scholars and private soldiers behind Fang Yun were full of respect. Using dark clouds and thunder to kill monsters hundreds of miles away, a great scholar could also do it, but he would never do it so lightly.

Chen Youdao said: "Fang Xusheng, it seems that the barbarians will let us into the Sanlian Battle Fort. Within three days, we will be surrounded on all sides. As far as I know, after you arrive in Ning'an, the Wolf Saint who guards the Wolf Saint Mountain will The army has already set off and should arrive at the Three-Company Battle Fort within three days. Once the Wolf Holy Army arrives, the barbarians will attack the Three-Company Battle Fort at all costs."

"The Wolf Holy Army is the strongest army of the Grass Barbarians. Lang Lu used the secret method of the demon world to cultivate it himself. Its strength is no less than the main force of the demon world. There are even rumors that the leaders of each battalion of the Wolf Holy Army are from the main force of the demon world. Three hundred thousand Wolf Saints Once the army attacks , if there is no danger to defend, our Jingguo will need at least five million elite soldiers to intercept it. Now, even the Wu Kingdom, which is known as the invincible in the world, only has three million elite soldiers. Therefore, we must evacuate before the Wolf Holy Army arrives. "Fang Yun said.

Chen Youdao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you say that, I feel relieved. I will be afraid that you will act on your own initiative and try to take the opportunity to severely damage the Wolf Holy Army."

"Three Company Battle Fort is indeed not the place to deal with the Wolf Holy Army, but it can be done outside Ning'an City."

Chen Youdao looked helplessly at the sky.

Hu Li looked at Fang Yun without saying a word, but there was a hint of worry hidden in her eyes.

The team arrived at the Third Battle Fort smoothly.

The three battle fortresses look extremely majestic up close. Each fortress wall is as high as a twenty-story building. The construction materials of these walls are carefully prepared by craftsmen and are extremely strong. Even the demon king and barbarian king can hardly break them.

The three fortresses are connected together, like three giants with copper walls and iron walls, blocking the only way for the barbarians to pass.

The steel gate of the central fortress rose slowly, and the sound of the noose rolling was deafening. Then a great scholar, three bachelors and many scholars rode on dragon horses and went out to greet them.

The leader was surprisingly the examiner of the Fang Yun Examination, the beggar uncle Zhao Jingkong, but this person had completely separated from the Jingguo royal family. He had been promoted to a great scholar many years ago and had gone out for training early. He had just returned to Jingguo this year.

Zhao Jingkong was originally stationed at Yuyang Pass, but because the Barbarian Emperor was dispatched, he came to the Sanlian Battle Fort.

Fang Yun took a closer look and saw that except for the fact that Zhao Jingkong had changed into a purple scholar's robe, he was still the same as before in other aspects. He still had messy hair and beard, and his face was so dark that even a rain would leave mud marks. Even the purple robe was stained. There were stains everywhere.

Zhao Jingkong's eyes were cloudy and his face was decadent. He looked like a bad old man, but no one looked down upon him.

Fang Yun said: "Military affairs are important. Keep everything simple and don't need to be too polite. Let's talk as we enter the city."

Zhao Jingkong said lazily: "Now that Fang Xusheng is here, I can rest assured. From now on, you will be in charge of the Third Company Battle Fort. I'm going to sleep."

After saying that, Zhao Jingkong turned around and left.

The scholars on both sides rolled their eyes. Zhao Jingkong was too lazy, and he would probably look like this even if he saw a semi-saint.

Fang Yun had known Zhao Jingkong's temperament for a long time and guessed that he was practicing with all his strength. He didn't care and looked at the three bachelors.

Among these three bachelors, two are masters of engineering, Zhang Yuan and Zhang He. Both of them were members of the Zhang Heng family. They both originally served in the Gongdian Palace. Now they resigned from their positions in the Holy Academy and joined the army ostensibly as Jingguo people. In fact, they were fully responsible for the use of Gongdian agencies in Jingguo.

The other person is Liu Hong, a military scholar from Jingguo. He was promoted to a bachelor two years ago. His military skills and strategies are extraordinary. This man has white beard and hair, a wrinkled face, weather-beaten, mature and prudent, steady in doing things, and is as careful as his hair. He is not good at attacking. , is extremely good at defense, and the entire three-company battle fort operates perfectly under his command, and there has been no mistakes so far.

"I've seen Fang Xusheng!" The three great scholars saluted in unison.

Fang Yun nodded, clamped the horse's belly, and said: "You three lead the way, let's go to the north city head first. General Liu, please tell us the specific situation here."

After Liu Honglue thought about it, he reported the military affairs here in a clear and concise manner. Before arriving at the north city wall, Fang Yun had an accurate understanding of the strength, military situation, supplies, military morale, agencies, etc. of both the enemy and us here.

Finally, Liu Hong smiled and said: "The barbarians suffer from famine every year. Even though they can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to sustain themselves, without enough food, their bodies continue to weaken, and their overall strength has dropped significantly. I heard that this is all due to your strength back then. plan."

"Young people's nonsense can't be considered a strategy, but the result of the collective efforts of the human race." Fang Yun said modestly. At that time, Fang Yun's rank was too low, and the strategy he offered to weaken the barbarians was too cruel. The human race was afraid that the barbarians would assassinate Fang Yun, so it had never been made public. Now the ban is not as strict as it was back then. Many people have learned from various channels that Fang Yun has made great contributions to the barbarians' famine for years.

Zhang Yuan and Zhang He are typical workers. Unless Fang Yun asks, they will not say a word along the way. The two are more concerned about the mechanism.

When everyone was about to reach the top of the city, Liu Hong's eyes flashed with worry, and then he said: "General Po Yue is tied up in front, you... don't be impulsive."

Fang Yun's face changed slightly, nodded, but changed the subject, saying: "How are the preparations for the retreat?"

Liu Hong said: "I heard that you are going to take us back to Ning'an, so I started preparing, and we can retreat smoothly tomorrow morning. But... I am at a loss as to how to deal with the pursuers."

"I have my own means." Fang Yun said.

"Then I just need to follow your orders." Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

When the scholars behind him heard this, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes.

Since they came here, everyone was ready to die on the battlefield, but if they could leave alive, it would be worth celebrating.

Fang Yun was in front, and the four university scholars and others followed behind, climbing up the top of the Sanlian War Fort.

On the top of the city, there were bloodstains, and a strange fishy smell rushed into the nose.

Fang Yun didn't care. Compared with Liangjie Mountain, this place was like a countryside.

Some scholars behind Fang Yun who had not experienced a war changed their faces, their stomachs churned, and they tried their best to suppress the discomfort in their bodies.

Fang Yun glanced casually, and the top of the Sanlian War Fort was like a smaller top of Liangjie Mountain. There were many slide rails nearby, a large number of mechanisms were set up, and many soldiers stood in front to be on guard. Countless war poetry soldiers were blocking the front line.

Some soldiers were cleaning the top of the city.

A war had just ended.
