Chapter 474 Here It Comes!

The cold wind is like a knife, piercing the bones.

The weather in early April is neither cold nor hot, it is spring, but the atmosphere in Yangping Pass is unusually cold, and a strong aura of killing hangs over the pass.

Looking down from above, you can clearly see that tiny black dots are moving in an orderly manner. At this moment, the entire Yangping Pass has suddenly become a war fortress.

Jiang Che, wearing a black brocade robe, stood on the gate tower of the city wall, looking far ahead, his eyes full of solemnity.

Although he has entered the realm of Yuanshen, his strength has skyrocketed, and he is even confident that few people below the Martial Saint are his opponents, but this time, the joint forces of the Baiyue coalition and Li Chengguo still brought him great pressure.

A total of 400,000 troops, most of which are elite troops drawn from the Baiyue countries, and what about him? There are only 200,000 soldiers and horses, most of which are government soldiers transferred from various states.

And the martial artists who were forcibly recruited from the three major passes.

In terms of eliteness, it is definitely inferior.

It can be said that this is a half-cooked meal.

But he has to eat it even if it is half-cooked.

Because he has few ways to retreat, he has mobilized almost all the forces that can be mobilized. If he avoids the battle, several prefectures in the southern part of Yuezhou will be lost.

Those Jianghu forces and Qingtian Sect who are eyeing him will immediately rebel and echo him. It is not an exaggeration to say that they will collapse at the first touch.

Therefore, this battle must be fought.

Even if the chances of winning are not high, it must be fought.

Otherwise, all his previous accumulations will become a bubble, and the dream of separatism will be in vain. Of course, although he fights, Jiang Che is not without a way out.

Under the premise of the Martial Saint Covenant, there will be almost no Martial Saint to intervene in this battle. With his strength, if it really comes to a time when things are impossible, he will definitely not die in Yangping Pass.

However, he will not choose to do so unless it is absolutely necessary.

In addition to the 400,000 coalition forces, what Jiang Che feared even more was the opponent's more than 20 great masters of divine appearance, which were the real power that could influence the situation on the battlefield.

On his side, including him, Zhao Xianzhi, Ao Kun, Chen Sanchi, Qi Tianzhong, and Wei Changping, there were only six Yuanshen masters in total, and the rest were such as Chixue Mozun, Qi Tianhe, Qi Yuanming, Zhou Xuan, Liu Sanqiu, Yu Weishui, Li Kuang, and the other two great masters of Jiange, as well as the great master sent by Tiannan Gao.

Added together, there were only ten great masters of divine appearance.

In total, there were sixteen great masters.

This force was not weak, and could even be called extremely strong, but the problem was that the gap with the opponent was still too big, so the first thing Jiang Che had to do was to take advantage of the time to conceal his strength.

Cut off several divine appearances with lightning speed.

And he had this ability.

"Sir, urgent news came from the rear. The Zhennan Army that had been hiding in various places in Yuezhou has begun to move troops and raid the rear. In just half a day, a prefectural city and twelve county cities have fallen.

Looking at the situation, I'm afraid they want to take this opportunity to attack us from both sides."

While Jiang Che was thinking, Zhou Xuan walked over quickly and reported the chaotic situation in the rear to Jiang Che with a serious expression. He was anxious and suggested without waiting for Jiang Che to answer:

"Do you want me and Li Kuang to lead the troops to quell the rebellion?"

"No need."

Jiang Che waved his hand. He had expected the Zhennan Army hiding in the rear to make trouble, but it was too late to check and surrender one by one.

In addition, he knew that after he had withdrawn most of the troops from Yuezhou Prefecture, the rebels would be more arrogant, and the whole Yuezhou would probably be in flames.

However, he was already short of troops, so how could he divide his troops again?

The real decisive battle is the battle of Yangping Pass.

If this battle is won, the chaos in the rear can be quickly quelled. If it cannot be stopped here, even if the rebellion is suppressed, it will not change the situation. He has set up many killing arrays here.

It is for the purpose of winning in one battle.

"But if they attack from the front and back"

Zhou Xuan hesitated.

Although he is not a general who leads troops, he also knows the danger of attacking from the front and back. This is definitely a taboo for an isolated city, if it were not for Jiang Che's great prestige.

He even felt that this battle was bound to be lost at this moment.

"Now, the Baiyue coalition army is less than 30 miles away from here, and it will arrive in an instant. It is too late to divide the troops to quell the rebellion. In addition, spread this news to all the soldiers in the city immediately.

The retreat has been cut off, and we have no way out. If we want to survive this battle, we must win. If we lose, we will not even have a chance to escape," Jiang Che said in a deep voice.

Zhou Xuan looked at Jiang Che deeply and nodded heavily:

"I obey your command."

He knew that Jiang Che might have to fight a desperate battle at this moment.

"In addition, immediately summon all the great masters in the city here and prepare for the battle!"

"Yes."

In the imperial garden of the Great Zhou Palace.

Emperor Yuan Kang's daughter Wen Hao looked at the chessboard below with a serious face, with gloom between her brows, frowning, and all her worries written on her face.

At this moment, he felt that the Great Zhou court was in the most dangerous time.

Tianyuan was in urgent need of reinforcements, and the demon tribe invaded in large numbers. The northern border was in urgent need of reinforcements, and several important towns were lost in succession. Hundreds of thousands of northern barbarian cavalry were already at the gates of the city, and the southern region was Yuezhou.

The Baiyue coalition was coming, and the troops were heading straight to the Central Plains.

There were wars in the east, north, and south.

Even compared to Tianyuan and Beidi Border, the war in Yuezhou at this moment seems not that important. After all, so far, the Witch God's Temple side has not torn up the Martial Saint Covenant.

But on the other two sides, strong men at the martial saint level gathered.

Of course, the reason why he did not send more troops to Jiang Che was not because he wanted to give up Yuezhou, but because Ji Chengdao had left him a message before, that in the battle of Yuezhou, the Wusheng of the Wushu Temple would not end.

This was the reason why he did not urgently mobilize troops, but placed his hope on Ji Chengdao.

When Ji Chengdao was in the capital, he found it very difficult because Ji Chengdao put too much pressure on him. But when Ji Chengdao left, he seemed to have lost his backbone.

In desperation, I can only place my hope on Ji Chengdao's words.

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. The Yuezhou Sword Pavilion will definitely not stand idly by. With the Sword Master sitting in charge, the Witch Temple will definitely not let the Martial Saint die. After all, although the imperial court cannot destroy the Northern Barbarians and the Monster Tribe.

But if you are determined, you can still eradicate Baiyue. At most, part of the land will be occupied by Baiyue." Eunuch Wei, who was dressed in a green robe, said softly.

"How can I feel relieved when we face enemies three times? Yuezhou is not really a serious concern for me. Imperial Master Yao Yue has already gone there, and the old sword master is here, no matter how bad the situation becomes.

There is still room for change. What really worries me is the war between Beidi and Tianyuan. "

Ji Wenhao's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although he believed Ji Chengdao's words, he still couldn't completely rest assured. For this reason, he had already issued an order to start dispatching troops from Yunzhou, Qingzhou and other places, ready to rush to help Yuezhou at any time.

In addition, he also asked the national master Yu Yue to go there in person. Now he estimates that he has almost arrived. It can be said that even Jiang Che really can't stop the Baiyue Allied Forces.

There will be opportunities to regain lost ground later.

But the war between Beidi and Tianyuan is different.

The demon clan was a serious concern. Nearly half of the imperial court was stationed in Tianyuan to guard against the demon clan. Now that the war was about to begin, he was very afraid that one day he would wake up to the news that Tianyuan had been breached.

Once the demon clan breaks through Tianyuan, the entire Zhou Dynasty will be in danger of overthrowing.

The same goes for Northland.

He has already learned that the Qingtian Sect and the Northern Barbarian Royal Court have colluded, and several previous important towns have fallen because of this. When the northern border passes completely fall, the secluded land will be flat.

By then, the world may be in chaos.

For this reason, he almost took away most of the power in the capital. Except for a strong man from the royal family and Duke Wei, there were no other martial saints in the entire capital.

"Tianyuan is left by the Confucian Saint, and is supplemented by the Juetian Formation. The demon clan has little hope of breaking through, and Shenghai City will not stand idly by. In the North, there is even a god king who is personally in charge.

Your Majesty must believe in the God King. "

Eunuch Wei continued.

"God King. God King"

Ji Wenhao whispered to himself in a low voice, with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes.

At this moment, he became more and more eager for immortality and strength. If it weren't for the wrong time, he would have started his plan long ago. It's a pity.

Just when Ji Chengdao left, he encountered such difficulties again.

"There is also Yuezhou. Since Jiang Che is so valued by the God King, maybe he can really stop the Baiyue Allied Forces."

"I hope so"

Ji Wenhao raised his head, his eyes solemn.

Outside Yangping Pass, about thirty miles.

Countless Baiyue soldiers are advancing, and the crowd of soldiers and horses can't be seen to the end. It seems like real black dragons are roaring, and the rumbling sound is like a mountain collapsing and the earth is cracking.

Flags are fluttering and chariots are flowing.

Wherever it passed, all the grass and trees were eaten away, roads were opened across mountains, and bridges were built across rivers. The strong murderous aura and stirring celestial phenomena were all aroused, which can be seen from a distance.

Endless black clouds shrouded the soldiers and horses, and there was a terrifying pressure of an impending storm.

Just one look at it will strike fear into your heart.

And above the void, a series of chariots are running rampantly, and each chariot is a grand master of the gods. There are more than twenty of them, and on one of the chariots.

Standing impressively were the five great sages of Baiyue.

They are the real leaders.

As Li Chengguo said, this time the Baiyue Allied Forces chose to fight to determine the outcome in one battle instead of splitting the battle. The troops sent to Tiannan Pass and Zhouping Pass were only tens of thousands of troops.

All the main forces are preparing to gather at Yangping Pass.

The two armies were confronting each other. Under such similar circumstances, the information was almost transparent. They had already learned that Jiang Che personally led 200,000 troops to guard Yangping Pass.

It can be said that as long as this battle is won, the capture of the entire Yuezhou will be smooth sailing.

"We, Baiyue, have been divided for hundreds of years. Now we are just an alliance of five countries, but we can have such power. If Baiyue is unified in the future, it may not be a big deal to wipe out the Central Plains."

A Venerable Yuanshen couldn't help but laugh heartily as he looked at the majestic formation below.

"This is wrong. The strength of the Central Plains is far from simple. What's more, our five countries are almost the best in the Baiyue Land, and the other countries are far inferior to us.

It is a blessing to be able to capture Yuezhou. "

Some people do not have blind self-confidence and have a lot of self-knowledge.

"Fellow Taoist, your ambition in the Central Plains is too high, which destroys our prestige and prestige. Apart from other things, our chances of winning this battle can be said to be extremely high. Jiang Che is rarely boasted about.

But now it seems that it is nothing more than that. He actually mobilized all the troops and prepared to fight us head-on. Humph, what can he use to stop us if the Martial Saint does not take action?

If the troops are scattered and harass us, it will really give us a headache, but what is the result? Until now, our battle line is so long, and there is no attack from the Central Plains people."

The ghost-faced bald man smiled contemptuously and instinctively refuted that person.

The Minyue ancestor shook his head:

"Jiang Che may be unwise and unintelligent, but this person is not that simple. At least in terms of talent and strength, no one in the entire Baiyue can compare.

His strength is also extraordinary. If we fight, at least two venerables will have to join forces to deal with him. With the previous experience of Qi Laogui, you must not be careless. "

"In this case, why not let Li Chengguo be the vanguard to consume the power of Yangping Pass?" Another old woman suggested.

"Do you think Li Chengguo is so stupid? Humph, he had mentioned this long before. He would not act as a vanguard, but would be a surprise force to attack a weak spot in Yangping Pass.

That was a loophole he had specially prepared. "

"Yes, it is said that we are joining forces, but Li Chengguo is very cunning. Even the tens of thousands of Zhennan Army dare not join forces with our Baiyue. Now he is hanging behind. I am afraid that he wants to consume us first."

"Hey, he has a beautiful idea. After breaking through Yangping Pass, we will counterattack and directly destroy him."

"Okay, just know these words in your heart, no need to say them out loud." The Minyue ancestor said in a deep voice.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the other venerables immediately shut up, and one of them immediately changed the subject.

"By the way, where are we, and how long will it take to reach Yangping Pass?"

"In at most one hour, the Baiyue coalition will almost arrive. "

On the top of Yangping Pass, more than ten great masters stood in awe, and Zhou Xuan spoke in a solemn voice.

If you look closely, you can see that there are a few figures missing from these people. Whether it is the Red Blood Demon Lord, Zhao Xianzhi, or Qi Tianhe, they are not here now.

Jiang Che has already changed into a black dragon scale armor, a blood robe behind him, holding the Desolate Sky Divine Halberd, staring at the front, with no sadness or joy in his eyes.

The surrounding atmosphere also fell into stagnation.

About half an hour later.

A rumbling sound came from afar, like the sound of horses trampling on mountains and rivers.

Opening his eyes, Jiang Che's eyes showed a murderous look:

"All troops are on alert, beat the drums to help!"
