The fire on the mountain has completely burned out. Not to mention that Xiao Xiang can't see the situation on the mountain now. Even his Sichuan generals, including Ji Ying, can't see clearly.

Ji Ying just felt that there was a vague spiritual pressure in the fire, so he shot an arrow as a test. As a result, after the arrow was shot, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing any waves, but the vague and vague spiritual pressure was there. The infinite reiatsu still exists.

His expression changed, and at the same time he trembled and secretly said, "Awesome!" He hurriedly retreated to Xiao Xiang, cupped his hands and said, "There may be a powerful enemy general on the mountain. Your Majesty, you must retreat quickly!"

Seeing that Ji Ying, who had always been mature and steady, suddenly became nervous, Xiao Xiang frowned. She looked down subconsciously. Wherever she looked, there was nothing but raging fire. It was burning all over the mountains and fields, and the flames were soaring into the sky. No one could be found. To a place of integrity. She asked in confusion: "There is such a big fire on the mountain, how can there be enemies?"

"That's exactly what is most terrifying!" Ji Ying said with an ugly face. The fact that the other party can survive in such a huge fire shows that he is a very high-level spiritual cultivator. His spiritual armor can withstand the burning flames, but his body does not emit powerful spiritual pressure, which shows that this person's His cultivation level is advanced enough that he can control the strength of his own spiritual pressure. In Ji Ying's view, only Shenchi has such a powerful spiritual cultivator.

Xiao Xiang seemed to understand what he said, and was about to ask again. At this time, rustling footsteps came from the blazing fire at the foot of the mountain.

The sound was not loud, but many people could hear it clearly, including Xiao Xiang. Everyone's expressions changed, and the Sichuan generals immediately stood in front of Xiao Xiang, protecting her and retreating continuously.

Gradually, a black shadow emerged from the fire. As the footsteps got louder and louder, the black shadow became clearer and clearer. Gradually, a human figure emerged.

"Sure enough, there are still enemies, shoot the arrows! Brothers, shoot the arrows quickly!" the Sichuan generals shouted in unison.

When had the Sichuan army officers and soldiers ever seen someone come out of the fire so step by step, and the fire was so fierce that they all turned pale with fright. The soldiers below were even more trembling, with their eyes full of fear. The hand holding the arrow was shaking violently, and it took a long time to reach the bowstring.

Seeing that the soldiers below were unable to shoot their arrows, Ji Ying became anxious. He drew out his steel arrow, pointed it at the figure in the flames, and shot an arrow with all his strength.

Whoosh! Bang! His arrows shot into the flames and into the black shadow, but they failed to stop the black shadow from walking out.

Seeing this, not to mention the soldiers below were so frightened that they almost sat down on the ground. Even Ji Ying felt a chill running down his spine, and two words flashed in his mind: Monster!

Finally, people could clearly see the appearance of the black shadow. It was a spiritual cultivator covered in black spiritual armor. This was nothing. What was surprising was that there was still a layer of red burning all over his body. The black flames were incompatible with the flames, and what was even more horrifying was that the red flames were immediately swallowed up by the black fire after they burned him. The black fire was like a protective shield, separating him from the surrounding people. The flames were isolated so that the fire could not burn him.

Dark fire! An idea flashed in Ji Ying's mind, and he almost screamed. At the same time, all the wind generals present rushed forward and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty! It's your Majesty!"

That's right, the person who walked out of the blazing flames was Tang Yin. After exiting the sea of ​​fire, he also dispersed the dark fire from his body. Then, he dispersed the spiritual armor from his body, looked around at everyone present, and said calmly: "Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long!"

Before anyone else could say anything, Xiao Xiang quickly came forward and stood in front of Tang Yin. She looked at him one at a time to see if he was injured, and said with some complaints: "Brother Wang, why did you come out? Don’t you know that we are all worried about you?”

The surrounding Sichuan generals looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces. To be honest, they were not worried about Tang Yin's safety at all. If Tang Yin could die in the sea of ​​​​fire with Zhenjun, they would probably have to run home and set off more firecrackers to celebrate.

Looking at Xiao Xiang who looked worried, a smile appeared on Tang Yin's face. He said quietly: "The Sichuan Army's arrow formation is amazingly powerful. Even if I want to pass through the arrow formation, it will take a lot of effort!"

Seeing that Tang Yin was fine and healthy, Xiao Xiang finally felt relieved.

She rolled her eyes and said in a brisk tone: "This can only be blamed on you for not agreeing in advance where to break out, so there is such a misunderstanding. This cannot be blamed on our soldiers!"

Tang Yin smiled. At this time, Xiao Muqing and others quickly stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty, how is the situation in the valley? Has the Zhen Army figured out a way to avoid the fire attack?"

They don't want to listen to Xiao Xiang's irrelevant nonsense. What they care most about now is whether their tactics can be successful and whether they can burn out the 400,000 Zhen army.

After hearing their questions, Tang Yin straightened his face and said, "There are pine forests everywhere in Cuihuan Mountain. Unless the Zhen Army can go to the sky and the earth, there will be nowhere to escape!"

Everyone's faces showed joy. After annihilating the 400,000 Zhen army, Li Shu's forces occupying Zhen land would no longer be afraid.

The ensuing battle had almost no suspense and was completely one-sided.

The Feng and Chuan armies occupied the peak of Cuihuan Mountain, looking down from a high position, using fire and arrows. The 400,000 Zhen troops were trapped alive in the valley that had become a sea of ​​fire. There was no way to go up to the sky, and no door to enter the earth. The wailing of the people resounded through the valley.

The battle of Cuihuan Mountain caused the 400,000 Zhen troops, who were known as the tiger and wolf army, to be annihilated. This battle was so tragic that it was rare in ancient and modern times. In the end, no one of the 400,000 people survived. When the battlefield was finally cleaned up, it was difficult to find a place for people to stay at the bottom of the valley or even on the mountain face of Cuihuan Mountain. The ground was full of black and charred corpses. Some were single corpses, and some were corpses of a group of people hugging each other. The bones and flesh were burned together and could not be separated.

The result of this battle was indeed tragic, but it can also be called a classic battle. The two countries of Fengchuan dramatically changed sides in battle, turned enemies into friends, and conspired secretly. First, they designed to kill the commander of the Zhen army, Yin Li, and then used the advantage of the Fengzhen coalition to successfully lead the Zhen army into the desperate situation of Cuihuan Mountain. The whole plan was linked one by one and impeccable. Of course, Tang Yin dared to take risks alone, which was also the decisive factor for the Fengchuan coalition to win a great victory.

After the battle of Cuihuan Mountain, the Fengchuan and Chuan armies invaded Zhendi in a large-scale manner. Now Li Shu's forces were seriously injured, and Zhendi was almost undefended. Both Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang wanted to take this opportunity to annex Zhendi.

The Feng army mainly attacked Guping County in Zhendi, and the Chuan army mainly attacked Xinfeng County. The two armies, one in the south and one in the north, formed a two-pronged trend and advanced westward together.

In fact, the war in Zhendi was exactly as Fengchuan and the other two countries had estimated in advance. The Zhen army suffered heavy casualties in the battle of Cuihuan Mountain. There were no soldiers available in Zhendi. The Fengchuan army advanced westward without any decent resistance.

The war went smoothly beyond imagination. In just two months, the Fengchuan army, which took two different routes, arrived at Xitang, Zhendu, at the same time. On the same day when the Feng and Chuan armies arrived at Xitang, Li Shu officially proclaimed himself king in Xitang.

At this time, Li Shu certainly knew that the situation was over. He did not want to escape again and decided to defend Xitang to the death. However, he also knew in his heart that with the little force under his command, he could not resist the millions of troops of Fengchuan and the other two countries.

Since he decided to die for his country, he did not want to bear the infamy of a traitor after his death, so he proclaimed himself king before the battle. If he died, he would die as a monarch.

Li Shu's claiming of the kingship had no impact on the entire war situation. On the third day after he became king, the attack of the Fengchuan army officially began.

The total strength of the Fengchuan coalition army was about 800,000, claiming to be one million, while the Zhen army in Xitang City was less than 100,000, most of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled. The gap between the two sides in terms of strength and even combat power was so large that it could not be made up.

Another very important point is that the current Xitang City was newly built. The old Xitang City had been burned down when the Five Kingdoms attacked Zhen. This new Xitang City was not even formed. Its city defense was extremely weak, and even the city walls were not strong. The difficulty of defending it can be imagined.

Under the joint siege of the Fengchuan and Chuan armies, in less than a day, the city defense of Xitang collapsed. The defenders in the city were quite tenacious, and they fought a street battle with the people in the city and the Fengchuan armies, but that could not stop the pace of Zhen's demise again.

The city was broken during the day, and that night, the Fengchuan coalition began to attack the palace together.

Even the city defense could not stop the attack of the Fengchuan coalition army, let alone the palace wall? After only one round of fierce attack, the Fengchuan coalition broke through the palace, and a large number of soldiers poured into the palace.

In the end, Li Shu committed suicide in the palace, and most of his ministers also committed suicide. The new Zhen Kingdom established by Li Shu's rebellion was declared extinct in less than a year, and Li Shu himself was killed in the palace after sitting as the King of Zhen for less than three days. In this period of history of the Haotian Empire, Li Shu can be ranked first among the "shortest-lived dukes".

The reason why Li Shu's power was able to grow was, first, the assistance of Feng Kingdom, and second, the genius commander Yin Li.

When Feng Kingdom decided to annex Zhen Kingdom and joined forces with Chuan Kingdom to kill Yin Li, the two pillars supporting Li Shu had both collapsed, and at that time, the fate of Zhen Kingdom's demise was doomed.

After occupying Xitang and killing Li Shu, the Fengchuan armies then scrambled for the fruits of victory.

The two armies fought all over Zhendi under the banner of suppressing the rebellion, conquering cities and seizing land, trying to seize as much land as possible. When even the three counties of Zhenxi were divided up by the Fengchuan coalition forces, the entire Zhendi was controlled by the Fengchuan and Fengchuan armies.

Next, it was the negotiation between Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang.
