Chapter 1563: The Long-Distance Expedition
The nine fire dragons guarding Tongyang City have proven themselves in the powerful offensive of the Moon Shooting Crossbow.
But in front of the "Purple Extreme Expedition Dragon" of the Great Qi Empire, they are almost like paper and can hardly withstand a blow!
This is obviously unexpected and difficult to accept.
In the huge Tongyang City tower, the civil and military officials of the Xia Kingdom were in an uproar. Some jumped up and wanted to defend the city with their bodies, and some urgently mobilized the army to attack with soldiers.
And the Prime Minister Liu Xiyi had already taken out the Prime Minister's Seal, pressed it in the air, and gritted his teeth and shouted: "Open the National Defense Formation!"
National Master Xi Mengfu did not speak, but he also pressed the National Master's Order in the blink of an eye.
When the Prime Minister's Seal was pressed, the mountains and rivers were like brocade, and when the National Master's Order was pressed, the traffic was like the world.
So the National Defense Formation was opened!
The entire Tongyang City was shrouded in an indescribable brilliance.
It was a vibrant green color, and it could never be described simply as "green".
It has the purest feeling, but contains the greatest power.
In the green glow, everything changes, and everything returns to one. Sometimes it is a peddler, sometimes it is a king, sometimes it is a general, sometimes there are towering mountains, sometimes there are rushing rivers, there are majestic armies, and there are majestic cities and dangerous passes.
The thousand-year-old national power of Daxia, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and billions of people are all in it.
This glow does not look dazzling or scorching.
But when it seems to cover Tongyang City slowly but quickly, it has already changed this world.
The "Purple Extreme Expedition Dragon" that broke the Nine Dragons Lihuo Formation like a mud ball, could not move forward when it saw this glow.
It hovered over Tongyang City, about to fall but unable to fall.
Its dragon body is winding for thousands of miles, extending all the way to Linzi, its dragon head is extremely majestic, and its roar has the momentum of swallowing the sun and the moon... but it has been firmly resisted.
Any national defense formation is one of the most fundamental forces of this country. In a broader sense, it is related to the fate of the country.
This radiance of humanity is not only in Tongyang City, but also covers the entire Xiangyou Prefecture!
And it is not limited to Xiangyou Prefecture?
If someone is in the sky, if he can look far, he will see——
The entire territory of Daxia, a land of thousands of miles.
Xiangyou, Linwu, Pinglin, Daye, Huiming.
Fengli, Shaokang, Jin'an, Wanxing, Dexing.
Jiangyong, Yugu, Changluo, Huaiqing, Sangfu.
Huailin, Shunye, Youping, Wuxing, Yuci.
In addition to Fengjie, the twenty prefectures, and even the summer capital Guiyi City, one by one, the green radiance is bright, reflecting each other, and all are immersed in the same brilliance!
In front of the hidden killer "Purple Extreme Expedition Dragon" of Qi State, the tower of Tongyang City fell into a commotion for a while. Everyone tried to resist this unparalleled power in their own way, until Liu Xiyi and Xi Mengfu worked together to open the national defense formation.
And after the clamor... there was a long silence!
The collapse of the Nine Dragons Fire Formation announced that the defense line of Tongyang City, which the civil and military officials of Xia State had worked hard to repair and wanted to rely on for a year or two... had been officially broken!
Si Jiao, Liu Xiyi, Xi Mengfu, Long Jiao, Tai Xu... these pillars of Xia State, all gathered in Tongyang City, which was the embodiment of this expectation.
But when the "Purple Extreme Expedition Dragon" appeared, everything turned to ashes.
The hope of blocking the enemy outside the northeastern defense line was thus dashed.
This long-hidden big killer should be used to deal with hegemonic opponents like Jing State, but Qi State actually used it in the war against Xia State, and Cao Jie actually used it to break a mere Nine Dragons Fire Formation-
Forcing Xia State to open the national defense formation early!
The opening of the national defense formation means that the war between Qi and Xia has entered a new stage.
Using the entire territory of Daxia as a support, the national strength as a support, well-trained monks, and a large amount of Yuanshi as a power source... This is a means that should be used when it is a matter of life and death.
In other words, when the national defense formation is fully activated, it usually means that the country has reached a critical moment of life and death!
In the original estimate of the top leaders of Xia, how long is this time?
One year? Eight months? Half a year?
Cao Jie gave them the answer.
Eight days of rapid march, leading a million troops to Xia, breaking Jianfeng Mountain in one day, occupying the entire Fengjie Prefecture in three days, and breaking the Jiulong Lihuo Formation in less than a day, forcing out the Xia National Defense Formation!
It makes people wonder if the one who led the army to attack Xia was the Chongxuan Chu Liang who was extremely brave.
Didn’t the fierce butcher who boasted that Xia would be destroyed in March fail to win the position of chief coach?
How come Cao Jie, who is known for his steadiness, has fought the war like this in less than half a month? !
The entire Xia Kingdom is shrouded in the glory of the national defense formation. In this terrifying formation that is truly connected to the national strength, every invader will be suppressed by the whole country! Every person who fights for the country will be blessed by the national strength.
The thousand-year history of this land, the thousand-year glory, and the beliefs of countless citizens have all manifested unpredictable power. Condensing history into glory. Grasping the past into power!
In Jiang Wang's perception, this experience is very similar to what he experienced when he attacked the enemy's Tongtian Palace, and it is also like facing Taiyin's Fuji magic power and being rejected by the entire environment.
The difference is that in the face of Taiyin's Fuji magic power, he can use magic and Taoism to fight against it, or escape from the influence of the environment, or directly blow up the releaser of the magic power. But in the face of the national defense formation covering the entire territory of Xia Kingdom, he can only passively endure it, and there is no way to escape.
Of course, because this land is too vast, and he is in the formation of the Qiusha Army, the suppression he suffers is not very strong, and it will only affect about half of his combat power.
But in a life-and-death battle, the loss of combat power may determine life and death.
Magnifying it to the entire million Qi army is undoubtedly extremely terrifying!
Take the most intuitive example. If the Zhenguo Army collides with the Zhufeng Army again in this state, the Zhufeng Army may suffer more casualties.
The most critical force of the country, the National Defense Formation, undoubtedly plays a key role in reversing the situation.
Standing next to Jiang Wang, Zhong Xuansheng certainly felt this suppression.
But he was not surprised but happy. He clenched his right fist and slammed his palm heavily, causing the fat on his body to ripple out several layers of excitement: "The opportunity is here!"
What opportunity?
Before Jiang Wang asked his question, the fat man turned around, took out a battle flag, and stood it in the air: "Brothers of the Victory Camp, assemble according to this flag!"
The flag was unfolded, and a circle of circular patterns was embroidered with a fight between a dragon and a tiger. In fact, it was embroidered very finely, showing the basic skills.
There were also large characters embroidered in the middle of the circular pattern, which was the flag name.
On other battle flags, either the single word "Cao" was not attached, which was already majestic.
Or there were only two words "Zhu Feng", which simply showed the honor of a strong army.
On this battle flag, there were four large characters embroidered, stacked on top of each other, and squeezed together like the fat of Chong Xuansheng, saying--
"Victory is in sight!"
Among them, the characters "Victory" and "Wang" were specially colored, one big red and one big purple.
It was really fancy... and bloated.
I really don't know when the quartermaster was asked to make it!
Jiang Wang turned his head and pretended not to see it.
And in his distant vision,
the majestic purple dragon was still in a stalemate with Tongyang City, like biting a pearl that could not be broken!
The power of the Great Qi Kingdom came across thousands of miles with the help of "Zhengtu", but was blocked by the power of the Great Xia Kingdom relying on the national defense formation.
The vast power was consumed madly.
Every breath of power eliminated was enough to move mountains and fill rivers!
Once the cultivators below the level of Shenlin were affected, they would be turned into ashes in an instant, and there would be no possibility of survival.
The power and prestige were as great as this.
At the same time, Tai Xu, the head of the Tai family, who came out from the corner of the tower with disheveled hair, suddenly shouted: "Get up!"
The glow of the Xia Kingdom's national defense formation shrouded the entire periphery of Tongyang City, and the flames were ignited again!
In just a short while, Tai Xu gathered the cultivators in the clan and quickly completed the formation repair. The Nine Dragons Lihuo Formation was revived with the help of the majestic power of the national defense formation!
Following Tai Xu's order, the nine fire dragons flew up from the flames again, and rushed towards the purple dragon, biting it madly.
The nine fire dragons were tens of miles long, but compared to the purple dragon that spanned thousands of miles, they were as small as earthworms.
But under the full-scale confrontation of the Great Xia National Defense Formation, the purple dragon was completely unable to fight back, and could only be bitten off by the nine fire dragons, one bite at a time, and large pieces of national power.
The soldiers of the Xia Kingdom in Tongyang City couldn't help cheering!
And Cao Jie, who stood proudly behind the steel battlements, holding the purple flag of the middle sky, rolled up the flag, waved the warp and weft, and put the flag on Rong Chong! (The purple flag of the middle sky is also called the warp and weft flag)
It was this bite that the dragon's roar resounded through the nine heavens. The purple dragon that stretched for thousands of miles exploded, exploding into a purple star rain that filled the sky, floating and scattering.
The vast national power of the Great Qi Empire is scattered on this journey of thousands of miles.
Bathing in every soldier of the State of Qi, they can resist the suppression of the Great National Defense Formation of the State of Xia.
After several years, the land where the Great Qi national power is scattered can also naturally integrate into the environment of the State of Qi and fit the atmosphere of the State of Qi.
It is the so-called subtle influence, and the national power is easier!
As a member of the rain of national power, Jiang Wang obviously felt that his body suddenly became relaxed and more comfortable! The invisible suppression of the world here was broken. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as "offsetting".
The Purple Extreme Expedition Dragon blasted through the Nine Dragons Lihuo Formation, forced out the Great National Defense Formation of the State of Xia, and pushed the war to a new stage. Turning his hand, he turned the national power into a rain of stars to offset the suppression of the Qi army in the territory of the State of Xia.
All the responses of the opponent seemed to be under the control of Cao Jie.
The control of his war was really more terrifying as time went on!
Because the iceberg hidden under the water has gradually revealed its shape and made it visible.
According to Cao Jie's prior order, at this time, the 100,000 Spring Death Army led by Chen Zeqing has been continuously pressing forward on the Jiangyin Plain, and the rolling army finally arrived at the city of Tongyang.
However, they did not choose to attack the city, but only formed a battle array on the spot, obviously to prevent the attack of the army in Tongyang City.
The county soldiers led by Chen Fu, the court official, were divided into three 10,000-man troops and rushed to the Jiangyin Plain, setting up camp and cleaning the battlefield. The main force of the Qi army advanced too fast, and the auxiliary troops were still outside the Xia territory, so the county soldiers had to serve as auxiliary troops.
Setting up camp obviously represents the preparation for a long-term confrontation under the city of Tongyang.
Cleaning the battlefield is undoubtedly the right of the victor.
The Xia people in Tongyang City can only watch from afar.
Generally speaking, the right to clean the battlefield means the seizure and recovery of equipment.
It means that the wounded of our army have the opportunity to be treated, and the wounded of the enemy army will only usher in the final finishing blow.
But the Qi army did not kill the injured Xia army on the battlefield. Instead, they disarmed them and took them back to the camp for treatment. Perhaps this was a more terrible choice for the Xia high-ranking officials in Tongyang City.
The 300,000 coalition forces of the Eastern Region led by the court doctor Xie Huaian had also obeyed the military order and put on armor to prepare for battle.
At such a moment, the sky was full of stars, and Ruan Lucai appeared beside Cao Jie. He still had a black jade hairpin and a star map.
The Great Xia Wu Wang Si Jiao, who used martial arts to protect the country, also stood back on the Tongyang City tower.
This mutually restrained battle did not determine life and death, and it was unclear who would win or lose.
Cao Jie looked at Si Jiao from a distance on the Rongchong Tower Car, but he ordered very straightforwardly: "Order Xie Huai'an's troops to attack Linwu, Huiming, and Fengli immediately. All military actions can be decided by themselves. I only want the result!"
He also ordered: "Order Chen Fu's troops, except for the troops cleaning up the battlefield, gather the main force and attack Youping, Wuxing, and Yuci in an hour! All military actions can be decided by themselves. I also only want the result! Don't say that I don't give them the opportunity to make merit. The opportunity is given, let's see how they grasp it!"
He also ordered: "Order Li Zhengyan's troops to withdraw to the east bank of Lianjiang River and set up camp to rest!"
He glanced and saw someone in the Qiusha Army raising a flag to gather troops.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that he had been tickled. He smiled slightly and ordered: "Focus on Xuan Chuliang's troops, disperse two 10,000-man teams, one to Linwu and the other to Youping, to participate in the attack. Military decisions will be made by ourselves! The rest of the main forces will camp on the spot and wait for orders!"
Finally, he took another look at the top of Tongyang City-
This sky was clear at night, turbid and clear at night, and at this moment it was covered with sunset clouds, which was particularly charming.
"Leave the aftermath to Chen Zeqing, he knows how to do it."
As he said, Cao Jie had already walked back to the building car.
With the cultivation of the current real person, he mobilized the power of the Great Qi and dispatched the Purple Extreme Expedition Dragon. Even Cao Jie was a little tired.
The Xia Kingdom's national defense formation has been launched, and the next war may be very long... In half a month, he mobilized a million troops and pushed the war to this stage. At this time, he just wanted to have a good sleep!
The flag officer quickly rode his horse into the air and passed the orders of the three army commanders to various places.
The rumbling of war drums, millions of Qi troops quickly split up.
Cao Jie's strategic intention is very clear. Your Xia country's national defense formation consumes endless resources, connecting all parts of the country and thousands of miles of territory, then my Qi army will bloom in full force and enter Xia territory on a large scale.
Make Xia country everywhere war, the whole territory is in flames!
Xia country still has 20 prefectures and hundreds of large cities left. Every time a city is broken, the national defense formation will weaken. Every time a prefecture is broken, the power of the Xia country will decline by half.
This is also a great army.
Forcing the Xia people to enter a state of full defense, it also consumes the power of the Xia country's national defense formation to the greatest extent.
And leaving the main forces of the three armies, Chunsi, Zhufeng, and Qiusha, on the front battlefield here in Tongyang City.
As long as the Xia people dare to neglect this place, the three armies will immediately launch and break Tongyang City!
