Chapter 466 Prelude to the War

If possible, what Lu Qing hopes most, of course, is to be able to wait until he has broken through to the hole level in a serious way before fighting.

In this way, the grasp is of course the greatest.

It is precisely because of this mentality that Qin Guo's actions that are almost stepping on Dayan's bottom line are still tolerated. Over the years, the State of Yan has continuously strengthened its support for the three kingdoms of Jin, Liang, and Chu. The trade in various materials has never been interrupted, but has been further strengthened. Even Jin Yiwei, who was constantly expanding its manpower, also sent a considerable part of its forces to Jin, where the fighting was most intense, and directly participated in the secret front to fight against the people of Qin.

However, the Qin people are still constantly strengthening the intensity of border military operations.

Moreover, through the investigation of their combat readiness within the Qin State, it has also revealed a similar situation, and they are almost ready to start a full-scale war.

Of course, Yan Country is similar.

Looking at it rationally, I am afraid that the battle between Yan and Qin could not be delayed for too long.

But I still try to drag it back as much as possible. After all, the place that is regarded as a battlefield is not my own home.

However, this so-called 'dragging' also has a bottom line.

Small-scale wars are acceptable for the time being. The intensity is not too high, the size of the army is not too large, and monks of Dharma Xiang or higher level have not yet appeared.

And once the scale is further expanded, then the country of Yan will definitely intervene.

In fact, Yan's legions are all ready.

And this bottom line, Yan Guo has also clearly and unmistakably announced to the world:

1. In the three kingdoms of Jin, Liang and Chu, any one of them lost the entire territory of a state.

Second, the Qin State sent out an official military group, or the number of all the detected monks of the Qin State who invaded the territory of the Three Kingdoms exceeded 10,000.

Third, the Prime Minister of the State of Qin appeared on the battlefield.

As long as any one of these three bottom lines is touched, the country of Yan will directly participate in the war.

At the same time, in the past ten or twenty years, the three countries in the middle of the country have gradually turned towards the Yan State in their attitudes.

This is of course realistic.

At the very least, Yan State has never been in the east, giving them any military pressure. Even the Chu State, where there have been wars and conflicts between the two sides, is the same.

Even under the increasing pressure from Qin State, Yan State continued to provide them with support.

Of course they knew the reason for this, Yan Guo did not have any good intentions, but what choice did they have? Unless you are willing to become a vassal of Qin State like Shu State, otherwise, you can only bite the bullet and bear it.

In the beginning, they were actually very wary of acting, worried that Yan Guo would stab at the same time in the east and divide them up with Qin Guo. But under almost the current situation, this worry has basically been put down.

It's not that Yan Guo is reliable, but that there is really nothing to do. The envoys of the Three Kingdoms, especially the envoys of the Jin State who had been directly invaded, were constantly active in Yandu, hoping to persuade the Yan Emperor Lu Chaoxi to directly dispatch troops to join the war as soon as possible. If it weren't for him not having any way to contact Lu Qing, they would have annoyed Lu Qing to death.

However, everyone now knows that there is not much time left before the real war begins. It is only a matter of time before Qin stepped on the bottom line of Yan, and it is bound to cross.

But when this moment came, it still seemed very sudden.

Qin Guo suddenly made a move, and this move was like a thunderbolt!

In an instant, five masters of Dharma were assembled, leading a small but very elite army of about seven or eight thousand, and cut into the state of Jin at high speed.

Da Jin suffered a devastating blow within two days.

Within the state of Jin,

Originally, there were only two monks at the Dharma level, but in this battle, one was directly lost.

The dead one sensed that something was wrong when Qin Guo just started to attack, and immediately started to run away.

This is of course a very correct choice. Even if he stays, even with the Jin army and the defense of the spirit veins, it is unlikely that he can withstand the attack of the five Qin ministers. Rather than fighting to the death here, it is better to keep a useful body.

However, even if he ran relatively fast, he still couldn't run away. First he was entangled, then he was besieged and died on the spot.

At the same time, an army of 30,000 monks that the Jin State deployed on the front line to compete with the Qin State was also wiped out in this battle.

This war has left the state of Jin quite traumatized.

They are not yet, so they lose their ability to resist. The state of Jin is more or less one of the stronger ones among the original nine immortal kingdoms, and in the past few years, the situation has not been very peaceful. Of course, they are also preparing for war. The war potential of the entire country has been tapped as much as possible. . As the war continued, it was not a problem for them to gather a monk army of hundreds of thousands of people.

However, the number of senior monks is always limited, and there is no way to squeeze out too many in a short period of time.

The loss of a dharma figure killed in battle is extremely huge.

What's more, the appearance of so many Faxiang monks in the Qin State on the battlefield is an extremely dangerous signal in itself, and it also brought a huge shock to the Jin State.

After the news was sent back, the Jin State urgently mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized, and gave up all the peripheral territories. Those who could withdraw would retreat to the capital of Jin for defense; Collect the spiritual veins of the highest level, fight as much as possible, delay the advance of the Qin army as much as possible, gather more defensive forces for the rear, and delay time.

Of course, the senior officials of the Jin State are also very clear that it is absolutely impossible to win this war if they only rely on themselves.

They have never had such a naive idea.

The diplomatic ambassadors of the Jin Kingdom have already tried their best to move around.

Liang Guo and Chu Guo also responded very quickly.

Between them and the state of Jin, there was a real bitterness between lips and teeth. As early as decades ago, they realized this, and signed an offensive and defensive alliance agreement with each other, and in the past few decades, the connection has become closer and closer.

However, it is actually very difficult for them to quickly support Jin.

The state of Chu is far away; the state of Liang is relatively close. However, the western border of Daliang is also bordered by the state of Qin. If they sent too much force to support the Jin State, it might indeed be able to greatly relieve the pressure on the Jin State. However, who can guarantee that this is not Qin State's smack in the east?

In case, too much force was mobilized to support the Jin State, causing its own domestic defense to fall into a state of emptiness, and then Qin State gathered its forces again to invade on a large scale, then Liang State itself would not be able to bear it.

In fact, at least 100,000 Qin soldiers were stockpiling on the western border of Liang State at this time, and they were also led by high-level Faxiang monks. Although I don't know exactly how many ministers Daqin arranged, but there are only three in Liang Guo, and I really dare not withdraw too many.

Under such circumstances, there is obviously only one party that Jin can rely on: Yan.

It is absolutely impossible for Dayan to sit back and watch the Jin Kingdom perish.

The location of the state of Jin is just to the west of the state of Yan. Between the two countries, there is the Northern Wilderness Forest. What's more, the current Beihuang Forest is not the barbaric place where the monsters lived in the past. After the monsters in the Beihuang Forest were cleaned up, Jin and Yan countries entered it aggressively to develop this area. Although the area of ​​this area is so large that humans have not been able to fully develop this area after hundreds of years, but between Jin and Yan, they can barely It's borderline.

In this case, if the state of Jin falls and loses its ability to resist, then the army of the state of Qin can invade the mainland of the state of Yan unscrupulously. At that time, Feiyun Prefecture, Jinzhou, Xuezhou, and Jizhou will all be exposed to the soldiers of Great Qin.

This is certainly not acceptable.

If it is invaded, it is better to take the initiative to attack. After all, using other people's land as a battlefield is much better than turning your own country into a battlefield.

However, Yan Guo is somewhat prepared for this matter.

Although Qin's actions were very fast and the offensive was like thunder and fire, after all, Dajin is a big country with a large area, and it is not completely immune to resistance. As long as there is a little more delay, it should be able to delay until the support of Yan Guo's army is in place.

The number of the first batch of Yan Guo Legion sent out was not too large.

After all, the number of Qin people's surprise troops was also not large. The most terrifying thing about the Qin people's attack was still the five Dharma monks.

But this time, Dayan's support troops also directly dispatched four ministers.

Weiyun, Lu Mingchao, Zheng Yu, and Lan Nuoxing.

Zheng Yu was Xuanwuhou of the original Wei State. His attitude is a bit different from that of Xia Cang, the former great general of Wei State. Xia Cang is a loyal subject of the Wei royal family. After the Wei royal family was reduced to the royal family and almost lost all political power, although Xia Cang did not continue to oppose the Lu family, he was basically in a state of retirement. Ask about the world.

With his attitude, the Lu family basically let it go. Although the order does not move, at least it does not make trouble. What's more, it's okay, he will occasionally solve some time fragments left over from the ancient times, which is still somewhat useful to Lu Qing.

However, Zheng Yu, Marquis of Xuanwu, was different. Although he struggled for a while, he was persuaded in the end and was willing to fight for Yan.

This time, the four Dharma Prime Ministers led 5,000 carefully selected soldiers of the Yan State to support the West and help the Jin State to hold on to the situation. The problem should not be too big. After all, counting the surviving Faxiang of the Jin Kingdom itself, there are five people in total. In terms of top combat power, the two sides are almost the same.

What's more, in the army of the Yan Kingdom, there is still a big killer - the sky fortress of the 'Divine Eagle'!

Lu Chaoxi was at the bottom of the sea, and after seeing the submarine warship that Bo Wan made, the aerial version that he had been thinking about for a long time was finally made.

This time, he almost gathered together the most outstanding batch of formation masters and crafting masters in Yan Qi, Wu Wei, the original four great fairy kingdoms. After spending so many years, with the existing technology In the case of the blueprint, through improved means, a sky fortress that can swim in the sky was finally created.

This air battleship is very powerful. Six or seven Nascent Soul monks sit in it, and in terms of defense, they can withstand the full attack of the Dharma monks; their own attack power is also enough to cause serious damage to the Dharma monks.

Of course, although the offensive and defensive ends can reach the level of Dharma, this does not mean that a sky fortress can fight against a serious Dharma monk.

The ability of Faxiang is not simply about attacking and defending. Although the attack power of the sky fortress can threaten the Dharma monk, it is unlikely that a serious Dharma monk will be directly hit by the attack of the sky fortress without other interference. They can, with a more flexible posture, deal with this kind of air battleship. Even if the air battleship's defense is very strong, and it can block several full-strength shots of the Faxiang cultivator, it can always be dismantled if it takes a little more time.

Even going one step further, they can still give up their dharma bodies and find a way to enter the interior of the air battleship with the posture of ordinary people.

It takes a lot of effort to dismantle this kind of aerial fortress, but it is not too difficult to go in and kill all the people who control the aerial battleship.

However, this does not mean that this kind of air battleship is useless.

The greater value of these things lies in cooperating with one's own dharma, so that they can actually pose a great threat to the enemy's dharma.

In addition, it is like a god on the conventional battlefield where there is no such thing as a master of law. Under the roar of artillery fire, the conventional cultivator army could not resist at all, and it was impossible to counterattack and conquer this kind of air battleship through conventional means.

In short, Dayan's plan seems to be relatively reliable.

With the support of this army, at the very least, there will be no problem in assisting the Jin people to defend their capital. Even, to put it bluntly, a wave of counterattacks can still make the people of Qin have a good drink.

If this invading Qin elite army can be severely damaged, it must be very valuable. In particular, if one or two Prime Ministers of the Qin State can be captured and eliminated in this battle, it will have a very good positive impact on the future, an all-out war between the two sides.

However, the idea was beautiful, but the danger came quickly.

The entire support force had just left Beihuang Forest and was ambushed not long after heading west.
