Volume 59 Chapter 12 Five Years

Beginning in 933 of the Black Tie Calendar, after Zhang Tie destroyed the three camps of the Demon Race and killed four of the Demon Race's holy rank powerhouses, the situation of Taixia's holy war was instantly reversed with the momentum of a great river. The Taixia army, which had been in a defensive position, began to turn from defense to offense. Like a prairie fire, it entered the control area of ​​the demons and began to regain lost ground. In just over half a year, it was once occupied by the demons and hoarded heavy troops. Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Yuzhou, and Anzhou, which were used to threaten Lingzhou, Lizhou, and the Tongguan defense line, have been recovered by the Taixia army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.iue.no

Even from the perspective of historians, this is a landmark event, worthy of special mention, because this is the first time since the beginning of the Holy War that Taixia's army began to recover the lost land on a large scale. He and the knights began to retreat, which was a huge turning point for the entire human jihad battlefield.

Just like the huge turning point that happened on the eastern battlefield, turning points are also happening unknowingly on the northern and southern fronts of the jihad battlefield in the western continent.

Beginning in the winter of 932 in the Black Iron Calendar, the coalition forces on the western continent suddenly began to discover that the attacking rhythm of the puppet armies of the Holy Alliance Empire had suddenly slowed down. At first, on the land battlefield, the Holy Alliance Imperial Army launched The number of offensives is getting less and less, the use of candle oil weapons in the hands of the attacking army is no longer so unscrupulous, and then there is the sky, the reaction speed of the air cavalry of the Holy Alliance Imperial Army is also becoming slower, appearing in the sky The number of winged demons among them began to increase. After continuous tentative attacks, the human race coalition forces in the western continent first established an advantage in the sky. Overnight, candle oil could no longer be produced in the Holy Alliance Empire.

For the army that is accustomed to using and relying on candle oil, once there is no candle oil, it means that the plane can no longer fly into the sky, and it means that all soldiers will lose a piece of daunting candle. Oil weapons, in this case, even if the army of the Holy Alliance Empire is supported by the demons, it is impossible to maintain the previous attack rhythm.

Not only that, when the three demon camps in Taixia were destroyed overnight, in the western continent, it was difficult for everyone to see the existence of a camp with a large number of demon knights, which was originally established in the territory of the Holy Empire. The two demon camps disappeared overnight. Under such circumstances, the morale of the Western Allied Forces was greatly boosted. After stabilizing the two fronts in the north and south, they finally started the counterattack in the local theater.

And on May 1, 933 in the Black Iron Calendar, on the same day Zhang Tie swore his oath as a master in Xuanyuan Hill, after more than half a year of preparation, the big counterattack of the human race coalition forces on the north and south fronts of the Western Continent finally began. The situation of the holy war battlefield, in the eastern and western continents, began to develop rapidly in the direction beneficial to the human race at the same time, and the power of the demons and their dog legs began to collapse like an avalanche.

In June 933 of the Black Tie Calendar, Zhang Tie arrived at Taixia’s holy war battlefield. In the same month, Taixia’s Heijia Army, Shence Army, Yulin Army and other hundreds of legions from the Fourth Army were divided into five armies. From Tongguan and the recovered Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Yuzhou, and Anzhou, they invaded the occupied area of ​​​​the Mozu at the same time, and the battle of recovery began. The Taixia Five Route Army was invincible all the way. Among them, in just one year, Xianzhou, Pingzhou, Jingzhou, Dingzhou, and Luozhou were successively recovered. When the news came, the whole country of Taixia rejoiced.

...

In the Weishui in April, the ice on the surface of the water has already melted. Seen from the sky, the rushing Weishui is like a green belt tied to the earth. Flying from the east, leaving a huge sliding shadow across the devastated ground.

A demon war fortress standing on the ground with a height of over a thousand meters, like a strange tree in the sky, is standing on the east bank of the Weishui River. The shadow of the human race's battle castle in the sky can kill the demon race in just a short while. The fortress of war was covered.

On the ground around the war fortress, fortress beetles covered with steel scales raised their heads and stared at the battle fortress in the sky. Some fortress beetles began to run around nervously, and some fortress beetles were looking at the fortress. The mucus in the mouth is spit out into the sky, but the mucus spit out by the fortress beetle is only tens of meters at most, which is too insignificant for the air battle fortress flying tens of thousands of meters in the air, and it has no effect at all, just like the ground. The crawling ants want to drown the eagle soaring in the sky with their saliva.

The reaction of the fortress beetle was transmitted to the war fortress of the demon race in an instant, and the war fortress of the demon race that looked like a strange tree seemed to sense some kind of danger. Black mist began to emerge from the mouthparts of the war fortress. Come out and block the surrounding airspace where it sits.

But all of this is also in vain.

Once the war fortress of the Demon Race completes its form transformation, it cannot move at all. Without the protection of other Demon Race, its air defense capability is almost zero.

It's a pity that within the thousands of miles of airspace around the huge air battle castle, half of the demon knights can't be seen, and there are not even a few winged demons.

Just as the battle fortress of the demon clan was struggling to swallow the black mist, a bright lightning shot from the battle fortress in the sky and landed on the battle fortress of the demon race. In an instant, just like a castle built of sand on the beach encountered a tsunami, it suddenly turned into slag. The ground of several square kilometers around the war fortress was swept away by terrifying high temperature and strong shock waves in an instant, and gathered in this war fortress. Those fortress beetles on the surrounding ground suddenly gasped into smoke...

Just a few seconds later, there was nothing left on the ground where the demon war fortress was located except for a big pit, just a few fortress beetles that were just ten thousand meters away, screaming like nothing. Running around on the ground like a fly.

On the air battle fort, Zhang Tie slowly retracted his outstretched hand, frowned slightly, and looked at Weishui reappearing in front of his eyes, the inexplicable irritability in his heart did not completely disappear.

Behind Zhang Tie, there are hundreds of Taixia generals and knights. Everyone is looking at Zhang Tie. Few people pay attention to the disappearing demon war fortress on the ground. To these generals and knights, Once the Mozu's war fortress is not guarded by the Mozu knights, it is destined to become ashes. Not to mention them, even the air cavalry troops who followed behind can easily wipe out that war fortress.

Zhang Tie just made a move, probably just to have fun with itchy hands, just like when a person is walking by the river, when he is bored, he will pick up a stone and float on the river surface.

It has been almost two full years, and the Taixia generals and knights who followed Zhang Tie have never seen Zhang Tie make a move. The last time Zhang Tie made a move was in Ningzhou. In the airspace of a battle fort thousands of miles away, Zhang Tie flew out of the battle fort. After a while, Zhang Tie came back with a head of Iron Armored Demon Sky in just a cup of tea. Since then, the battlefield On the Internet, he never encountered a target worthy of Zhang Tie's shot.

No one behind Zhang Tie spoke. After all these years, everyone around him has developed a habit. Fortress, it will keep flying forward like this, and crush all the enemies that can be seen along the way, no enemy can stop them, no matter what obstacles they encounter, it is not worth mentioning in front of this air battle fort , everyone firmly believes that they can even fight all the way to the boundary of the disaster area...

"Stop..." Zhang Tie still spoke, he didn't turn his head, just raised his hand, and the air battle fort that was flying slowly in the sky stopped, "We are waiting here The ground troops and several other armies arrived, and when the Weishui freezes in winter, everyone crossed the river, and then we drove the demons from the ground to the ground in one go, ended the jihad on the ground, and restored the entire territory of Taixia..."

Hearing Zhang Tie's words, the eyes of the generals and knights behind him became scorching hot. Just across the Wei River, the only places that the demons can still occupy are Yinzhou, Wuzhou, Zhuzhou, Yezhou and From the barren state outside Yezhou to the area at the border of the disaster area, it is only a matter of time before these places are recovered, and the time does not depend on them, the knights who rushed to the forefront, but on following the Five Route Army. The speed at which the engineering corps behind the ground troops re-lays the railways and builds the roads can only be called recovery if the railways and roads are rebuilt, and the supplies and personnel behind can be transported in a steady stream, allowing the ground troops to gain a firm foothold.

...

As the air battle fort stopped in the sky on the south bank of the Weishui River, thousands of knights in the air battle fort had already rushed out of the air battle fort one by one, and began to sweep the thousands of kilometers around the battle fort. ——Generally speaking, after they have mopped up, Taixia’s air cavalry troops will come to wash the ground again, and then the vanguard of the ground troops arrives, and after the vanguard, comes the fourth army of the Upper Fourth Army. The ten engineering corps followed behind the four-way army without stopping to repair railways, roads and field airports. Behind the engineering corps were the states and states that followed, and then the first batch of local officials With experts in various fields and various business groups who smell business opportunities...

There are not many demon knights in the airspace thousands of miles around, which made many knights who went out to scour secretly curse in their hearts. They knew that there were still a group of people who had infiltrated into this area before they arrived. Those people, It is the knight-level powerhouse of Taixia's major sects and wealthy families.

When the situation of the jihad is not good, these sects and wealthy families will behave more conservatively than Taixia's regular troops, and they will retreat to protect themselves. The forces that can be sent to the battlefield are very limited. Once the jihad battle begins When things get better, these sects and wealthy sects will turn around and behave more aggressively and boldly. The originally conservative wealthy sects are scrambling to put the elite forces of their families or sects on the battlefield and automatically become kings. precursor.

On this day, nearly five years have passed since the day Zhang Tie left Xuanyuan Hill to swear as a master, and the situation of the holy war has already undergone earth-shaking changes...

But for some reason, just in the past few days, Zhang Tie always felt that his mood would be inexplicably irritable and restless...
