Chapter 364: The Eve

Time went back to the evening, when the sun was setting, and when the Qingyun Kingdom court was discussing the division of the Qixia Kingdom, changes were brewing at the southern border of the Qingyun Kingdom, bordering the Taihua Kingdom.

Lan Jianwu, the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Kingdom of Taihua, was standing on his own checkpoint overlooking the opposite, the checkpoint of the Kingdom of Qingyun.

After looking at it for a while, he turned his head and asked the deputy general Duan Baili who had just arrived beside him, "How is the tunnel digging going? Has the gunpowder been arranged?"

"General, three tunnels have been dug. The average depth is more than five hundred feet (about 1670 meters). At the end of each tunnel, more than thirty spaces have been excavated, leaving at least 20 tons of gunpowder in each space."

"Is it ordinary black powder, or that high-grade gunpowder?"

"Ordinary black powder. It's cheap and plentiful. Add more and it'll work just as well.

According to the engineers of Dayang Group, in a closed environment, 10 tons of ordinary gunpowder is enough to destroy the world. Each of our spaces is about 20 tons, a total of about 2,000 tons of gunpowder, which is enough to send the checkpoints of the Qingyun Kingdom to Qingyun, hehe...

Of the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the Qingyun Kingdom, it is estimated that there are not many left.

Now that everything is set up, it's time to light the fire. "

Lan Jianwu took out the design drawing, looked at it for a while, and nodded in satisfaction. "Let everyone get ready, raise the defensive barrier to defend against the impact of the explosion. Check if there are any people left in the tunnel.

At sunset, light the fire! "

"Yes." Duan Baili quickly ordered, and when the work was over, he hesitated, "General, I... have a few questions..."

"Let's talk about it, I've seen it a long time ago. Being able to endure it until now has already made me look at you with admiration."

"Hey..." In front of Lan Jianwu, Duan Baili showed a childlike smirk, "General, although there is some hatred between us and the Qingyun Kingdom, why should we help the Qixia Kingdom?

The Kingdom of Qixia asked us to fight the Kingdom of Qingyun, shall we fight? !

If you want me to say, it would be great for us to attack the Qixia Country as well, and snatch the Qixia Country's technology and talents. Then we will be able to develop rapidly! "

"Hehe..." Lan Jianwu smiled, "You, if you are still like this, you will only be a general in the future, not a commander! Open the map and look at the positions of the countries, and reconsider carefully."

Duan Baili opened the map and watched with a frown:

Yanyun...the country of Qingyun

Zhoushan... Zhongshan... *Taihua*

Qixia...Jinyang￥￥***

Danyang...￥Canglan￥

After waiting for a while, Lan Jianwu pointed to the map and said, "Look, our country of Taihua is located in the interior of the mainland. Even if we participate in the war against the country of Qixia, how much benefit will we get after victory? Most of the benefits will be lost to other countries." Got it. The benefits we get, are minimal.

If the country of Qixia perishes, the country of Jinyang to the west of us will grow stronger, and that will definitely not be a good thing for us. Moreover, the Kingdom of Jinyang and the Kingdom of Qingyun in the north are now colluding, and the Kingdom of Qingyun is staring at us again.

If the Kingdom of Qixia is destroyed, I'm afraid that the Kingdom of Jinyang and the National Congress of Qingyun will immediately turn their spears against us!

In contrast, it is better to cooperate with Qixia Country. You see, just after we cooperated, we got gunpowder technology, black iron technology, and artillery technology.

Moreover, the Qixia Kingdom promised that the Qixia Kingdom would occupy the five western countries and assist us in occupying the Qingyun Kingdom. "

Duan Baili frowned and thought for a long time, then asked: "Can you believe the words of Qixia Kingdom?"

"It should be trustworthy. The Qixia Kingdom now seems to regard reputation as a precious resource. They should not back down on such important matters."

Just as they were talking, the actual persons in charge of all the underground passages came to report that all the people in the underground passages had withdrawn and could start fires at any time.

Lan Jianwu glanced at the opposite side. The sun had already set, and the dark red sunset glow was floating in the sky, and lights were already lit on the opposite side.

"Light it up!" Lan Jianwu ordered.

After a few people left, Lan Jianwu sighed, the rules of war... have changed and become more and more unfamiliar.

Just as he was thinking, he saw a fire bursting out of the ground in the distance, and then the flames shot up into the sky, the mountain peaks shattered, and endless rocks rushed up into the sky. The whole mountain rises abruptly!

In the stage of transforming gods, there is nothing that can be done!

In the next moment, the earth roared and the sky exploded like thunder. The earth is like a drum, trembling crazily, and the checkpoints below are crumbling.

The mountain peaks and checkpoints stretching for about ten kilometers in front collapsed like building blocks, and like a volcanic eruption, the fire glowed red on the earth, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun in the sky.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border of Qingyun Kingdom were killed or buried alive in the explosion. In such a crazy explosion, the Foundation Establishment Stage can only rely on luck to survive, and only the Golden Core Stage is eligible to survive.

Because the gunpowder was buried too deep, and because the mountain was too high, the power of the explosion had been reduced a lot. But after all, it is more than 2,000 tons of gunpowder, although it is just ordinary gunpowder.

The formations and enchantments of the checkpoints were completely scrapped, and the peaks were lifted off, and the foundations built on the mountains were not spared.

The explosion lasted for three to five minutes, but billowing smoke and dust rose into the sky. The rocks are tumbling, and the previous checkpoints have long been wiped out.

Standing on the checkpoint of the Kingdom of Taihua, Lan Jianwu looked at the falling gravel from the sky with deep eyes. These gravels spanned more than ten kilometers, and the defensive barriers of the Taihua Kingdom level that were still smashed were sparkling. Some of the gravels were several meters in size, and their attack power was not weaker than that of the foundation building period.

Amidst the sound of the explosion, there were also a large number of wailing and screams of dying. There are even more expert roars.

Billowing smoke and dust rushed to the sky, covering the afterglow of the setting sun, and the sky and the earth were dark.

"Attack!" Lan Jianwu ordered coldly, and all the elites above the foundation stage rushed out, and a killing began. Captives or something, they don't exist.

This is a surprise attack, and naturally no prisoners will be kept.

Then the main body of the army set out, searched along the mountains, beheaded and buried all the enemies. After dark, among the hundreds of thousands of troops at the Qingyun Kingdom checkpoint, only a few Nascent Soul Stage and Golden Core Stage escaped, and most of them failed to escape. Including, the commander in chief here.

At this station, Qingyun Country's vitality was seriously injured, and at least a quarter of the country's elite troops were wiped out. In a blink of an eye, the Qingyun Kingdom had to switch from a strategic offense to a strategic defense.

By the time the news reached the Emperor of the Qingyun Kingdom, Lan Jianwu had already led more than 30,000 masters above the foundation stage, frantically turned to the battle and assaulted more than 200 kilometers, killed the main force and masters of two counties, and approached the third county.

When Qingyun Kingdom finally reacted, Lan Jianwu had already wiped out the third county and began to consolidate the results of the battle. And personally led some masters to find a place to set up an ambush.

At the same time, the army began to ransack homes in the rear, and took the descendants of various local families as hostages, and recruited experts from each family to form a puppet army.

After dawn, the masters of the two sides fought a battle, and the colleagues had to retreat voluntarily, turning into a stalemate.

But as the stalemate progressed, the Artillery Corps of the Kingdom of Taihua began to catch up. At noon, less than 20 hours before the opening of the station, the Legion of the Kingdom of Taihua began to move forward again. The more than 10,000 puppet legions that were rectified overnight were forced to rush forward.

So far, the Qingyun Kingdom has not only lost about a quarter of its military strength, but also suffered a severe blow to the country's confidence in the war—hundreds of thousands of elite border guards have been wiped out like this. It's scary but not scary! Shock is not shock! Is there anything more terrifying than this?

Hundreds of thousands, they are elites, not civilians!

Cui Hongyan, the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Qingyun Kingdom, stood at the front line, watching the shells rain down, his face completely gloomy. "We were plotted against by the Qixia Kingdom! And the Taihua Kingdom is actually struggling with the Qixia Kingdom."

The prince, who came over to supervise the army to encourage morale, said coldly: "General, now is not the time to talk about these things."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything is not too bad and irreversible. The opponent is fighting a surprise battle, and the rear defense force will be relatively weak.

Now we should make full use of our local advantages to prevent the opponent from advancing, and on the other hand, send experts to harass the enemy's rear, trying to delay the time as much as possible, so as to give the domestic army time to dispatch troops and generals. "

But the prince of Qingyun Kingdom is different. He looked at the map and said slowly: "General, I have an idea: According to the normal situation, we should be in a defensive state now. But can we take the initiative to attack? No The time for the opponent to consolidate the occupied area?

The front line looks defensive, while the general leads some masters to raid the enemy's rear and destroy the opponent's artillery, etc., or supplies. It is even possible to kill the protons of the various families they detained.

I remember that Zhang Hao from Qixia Kingdom once proposed a strategic method, which is... the people's war.

Let me expand on this, this time we will not fight positional warfare, we will completely carry out expert thrusts, cut the army of the kingdom of Taihua, come to chaos, fight fast, and then tear the army of the kingdom of Taihua apart Already, completely drowned in our people!

This is an invasion of the country of Taihua, and the hundreds of thousands of elites who perished earlier made almost every family in the nearby counties wear mourning. As long as we create a condition and give some rewards, it is enough to drag the opponent's elite to death in this occupied area! "

The eyes of Cui Hongyan, the general of Shangzhu Kingdom, suddenly lit up. He thought carefully for a while, and praised: "Your Highness is wise. This method is indeed feasible. But ordinary people need to be given a lot of weapons."

"No problem! Didn't we eliminate equipment once a year ago, we can arrange it."

"Your Highness has to arrange the equipment. I will lead the master to make a surprise attack right now. I can't give the other party time to breathe and think."

So it was evening again, more than 7,000 masters above the Golden Core stage in the Qingyun Kingdom, divided into three groups, and raided the rear of the Taihua Kingdom's army. The country of Taihua, which was caught off guard, suffered heavy losses and had to shrink back.

Lan Jianwu, the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom in the Kingdom of Taihua, was not mediocre either. He was keenly aware of the crisis and immediately retreated to defend. At this time, a huge victory has been achieved, so it is enough to hold a county and provide a base for the army in the rear.

The army looted the wealth of the other two counties and began to retreat. Leaving a white field, howling everywhere.

Soon, a day passed and the news spread. The brief but fierce confrontation between the Kingdom of Taihua and the Kingdom of Qingyun brought huge shocks to the west of the Fertile Continent.

The brand-new and unfamiliar way of warfare has also caused countless generals, commanders, and superiors to fall into deep thought.
