Chapter 1374: The Way of Checks and Balances, a Tough Battle in the Mountains and Seas!

Today’s first update: Chapter 1373! 1/2!

…

Wherever Yang Jian's eyebrows shined, all the venerable lords of the wolf tribe were unable to hide, and they showed their true bodies one after another!

"Okay, okay, I've cultivated my moral character for many years, and it seems like today I'm going to be forced to go on a killing spree!"

"Yang Jian, don't be so arrogant, we and other heroes are here, we still don't know who will win!"

"Noisy!"

In response to this, Yang Jian just flashed his eyes, flicked the three-pointed two-edged halberd in his hand, turned into three divine dragons and leapt out, penetrated the holy realm of the Kailang Lord, and passed through his holy body!

Forehead……

The Wolf Lord looked down in disbelief and wanted to say something. The Howling Sky Dog let out a bark and then swallowed him whole!

With a single movement of his hand, he could kill a Wolf Lord instantly.

"If I remember correctly, the one just now was Sir Shanggu Wuhuan Nanlou, right?"

No one answered, but Yang Jian looked at the other two wolf statues standing side by side.

"Wuhuan has been destroyed, and it would be a disaster to leave you behind. Qiu Liju and Nanlou, both of whom are the venerable Wuhuan, are dead. You two should go and be companions with them!"

Wuhuan has a total of four saint-level warriors, namely Lord Wuhuan of Western Liaoning, Qiu Liju, Lord Wuhuan of Shanggu, Nanlou, Lord Wuhuan of Liaodong, Su Puyan, and Lord Wuhuan of Youpingbei, Wuyan!

Previously, Wu Ben Jue Ming killed Qiu Liju with a single sword, and now Yang Jian killed Nan Lou instantly. Only Su Puyan and Wu Yan were left terrified!

"Run!" The two wolf masters showed no intention of resisting and ran away separately.

"Run? You can run!"

Yang Jian snorted coldly, crossed his eyebrows with his fingers, and shined the light on Lord Wuhuan of Liaodong, Su Buyan. He saw that the other party's holy realm collapsed layer by layer, and even the holy body turned into black smoke amidst his painful screams. Disperse.

The only remaining Lord Wuhuan of Youpingbei, Wuyan, had his legs weak. The majestic wolf fell to the ground with a look of fear on his face!

Seeing Yang Jian looking at him, Wu Yan, whose liver and gallbladder was trembling, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed like a landslide.

"Master Tianyan, please spare my life..."

"Want to live?"

"I want to live, I want to live!" Wu Yan said hurriedly.

Yang Jian put away the three-pointed two-edged halberd and said calmly: "Then go back to Wuhuan Mountain and tell the remaining Wuhuan people to surrender immediately and merge into our imperial capital from now on. This will save you from death!"

Wuyan was amnesty: "Young man, get out of here, get out of here!"

Yang Jian instantly completed two kills and one defeat, making Xu Kun drool with envy.

There is also a gap between the holy realms. Just as Xu Kun can kill chickens and dogs when dealing with people of the same level now, Sky Eye, known as the strongest person in Blue Star, can deal with saints who are at least S-level bloodline. Existence, same thing!

"Whoever refuses to admit defeat, stand up and let me see!"

Yang Jian walked forward, his clothes as white as snow, his footsteps heavy, every step seemed to be stepping on the hearts of these wolf masters!

"Yang Jian, don't mess around!"

"Am I messing around? You violated the agreement of all races before you attacked my nephew. Even if I kill you all now, who would dare to say no?"

The Khitan Queen Mother Xiao Yanyan, who was swept away by Yang Jian with a halberd as soon as she appeared, returned holding her chest, looking at Yang Jian with cold eyes and said: "It seems that we have fallen into your trap again this time!"

"Yang Jian, you are so cruel to use your nephew as bait!"

"Ladies, don't think that because you are a woman, I don't dare to kill you. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear you apart!"

"Hmph!" Xiao Yanyan snorted coldly: "Why are you pretending? Others don't know you, but I don't know you?"

"If you have the ability, you will kill us all today. Yang Jian, although you have contributed to the destiny, all the saints of the wolf clan are gathered together today. I understand that you have great means, but you may not be able to kill us!"

Yang Jian's eyes widened: "Are you threatening me or flattering me?"

"Don't tell me, it's very useful for you, the Khitan Queen Mother, to praise my merits and good fortune. How about it, my family still needs a cooking aunt, please consider it?"

Xiao Yanyan's face turned red, and she pretended to be serious and said, "Huh, it turns out that the top beam is crooked and the bottom beam is crooked. The old one is not serious, and the young one is also glib!"

Xu Kun was stunned. Why did he bring the flames of war to himself while talking?

Uncle Yang is not a human being, so don’t criticize me!

"I dare to enter your Yang family. Do you, Yang Jian, dare to welcome me?"

"No one in the world knows that Dangdang Tianyan is henpecked!"

Xu Kun suppressed his laughter, and Yang Jian lost his temper: "Xiao Yanyan, if you keep talking nonsense, you don't have to leave today!"

"If you don't leave, you will support me!"

"I'm leaving now, just leaving!"

As if it was not a confrontation between saint-level beings, Xiao Yanyan got into a little temper and actually turned around and walked away.

Yang Jian actually didn't stop her.

"Yang Jian, this time we admit defeat, let's talk about the rules!" The other Wolf Lords also bowed their heads.

Yang Jian did not answer directly, but looked at Xu Kun and said, "How do you think we should deal with it?"

Xu Kun looked at Wu Ben, whose life was hanging by a thread, and said calmly: "The lives of the four Wolf Lords are with me. This is an explanation for Wu Ben!"

Yang Jian heard the words and smiled with satisfaction: "Have you heard everything? If you don't want to die, get out of here, and if you walk slowly, leave your life behind!"

Hearing this, all the Wolf Lords hurried on their way, and they were all gone in a short while.

The Roaring Sky Dog barked again, and the disappearing sun glowed brightly again.

Yang Jiantian closed his eyes, put away the three-pointed two-edged halberd, and came to Xu Kun in white clothes.

"You have really grown up now, and you have actually learned to suppress your murderous intent!"

Xu Kun hugged Wu Ben and looked at the direction in which the Wolf Lords were leaving and said, "With Uncle Yang's ability, it would be easy to kill them. But once all the wolf clan leaders are killed, the entire wolf clan will be destroyed." There will be an imbalance, and the various tribes will be in chaos. Temujin can easily sweep through all the tribes and become another formidable enemy of northern China!"

"Leave these frightened Wolf Lords and let them focus on stopping Temujin's expansion. The internal strife in the wolf clan will be beneficial to China!"

Yang Jian nodded: "Yes, a book worth reading is not in vain. Checks and balances are a must-have for every leader!"

Xu Kun did not show any joy, but said with a bit of resentment: "Uncle Yang used me as a bait. I have the ability to protect myself, so I don't think anything about it. But Uncle Yang has the power to deal with many wolf masters, but he let everyone Is it inappropriate for me to burn myself to save me?”

Yang Jian was startled, but not annoyed at all. He came to sit in front of Xu Kun and said, "Are you blaming me?"

"I just don't understand. I hope Uncle Yang can clarify it!"

Yang Jian smiled and shook his head: "It's time and fate. If you don't hide your sword for ten years, you will see blood with every move you make. If you don't use the sword to kill the Wolf Master, then no one can guarantee where his sword will be." Get out of the sheath!"

"If he causes a huge disaster on the day he draws his sword, will you be able to save him? Or will you feel guilty for him like you do now and try your best to save his life?"

Xu Kun was stunned and looked at Wu Ben, who was filled with anger in his arms. He understood that there was a life-and-death grudge between him and the Sima family. If he hadn't protected himself today, this sword would naturally fall on the Sima family in the future. !

If you want revenge, you have to pay for it with your own life, and even if you have a way to save him, will the Sima family just sit back and watch?

"Are you protecting him?"

"It's not me who protects him, but you!"

"After he swung this sword, he cut off not only Qiu Liju's vitality, but also his own vitality. Now he is ineffective, but now he has been reborn. If he can survive, he will definitely break out of the cocoon. Chengdie can be a great help to you, and the burden of saving him will fall on you!"

"Uncle Yang, is there a way out?"

Yang Jian smiled meaningfully: "There is no road in the world. If there are more people walking, it will naturally become a road!"

"Now that you have grown up, if I continue to arrange your path and escort you, it will be of no benefit to you, and it will be of no benefit to my human race!"

"There is no way to save me, you can only rely on yourself!"

Xu Kun clenched his fists, understanding that this was a difficult problem that his Uncle Yang had deliberately set for him.

And I know this, but I have to do it!

"Alas, Jiang is still very old, Uncle Yang, I am willing to give up!"

"I'll just take it as you complimenting me, as long as you don't talk about me being an old silver coin like you usually do!"

Xu Kun:......

Facing his Uncle Yang, Xu Kun could only be described as powerless, as if nothing could escape his eyes.

"You took away the wolf clan's luck, and everyone in the wolf clan hates you to the core. This round of siege and killing is all within reason!"

"But the troubles caused by your taking away the wolf clan's luck don't stop there!"

Xu Kun's pupils shrank and he said, "Has the situation in the Imperial Capital changed?"

Yang Jian shook his head: "The battle situation in the Imperial City is very good. Wuyan has just been surrendered, and the remaining Wuhuan forces will also join the Imperial Capital. The Liaodong area will be pacified within a few days!"

As he said that, Yang Jian touched his eyebrows and turned into a projection, showing Xu Kun the current war situation in all aspects of the imperial capital!

The main battlefield is the Liaodong area. Due to the great defeat of the wolf army in the Battle of Juelang Ridge, and Temujin's conquest of the hinterland of the wolf clan, the 80 million army of the wolf clan in the west collapsed without a fight, and Xu Kun led his troops to pursue them. Driving north, sealing the wolf to live behind Xu, the land tilted to the southeast, and there was no trace of the wolf clan in the south of the desert!

Only the wolf armies that were originally preparing to join forces with the western wolf army fought on their home turf after their attack on the canyon failed. The senior officials of the imperial capital did not take advantage of the situation and chose to gradually encroach, implementing Xu Kun's previous strategy of putting heart and mind first. , the war is under way!

Use weak troops to set up pocket formations at various passes, striving to undermine the opponent's fighting spirit and make them collapse without a fight!

The news of the Wolf Clan's defeat at Juelang Ridge spread to the entire Liaodong area, making the wolf Clan forces in this area fearful and blockaded the Liaodong area without any backup!

Cutting off the connection between east and west, there is not much room left for these Liaodong wolves to struggle!

Now, for this part of the wolf tribe that is stubbornly resisting and still has sufficient soldiers, there is still a way to lead them to turn defeat into victory!

The imperial capital blocked the east-west canyon and blocked the road leading south to Xifengkou. The only breakthrough point for the Liaodong wolf tribe was Nurhaci, who had not entered the blockade and led eight elite Jurchen tribes to attack Shanhaiguan!

If Shanhaiguan can be captured, the wolf tribes decided to make a desperate move, break through the siege, occupy the coast of the Western Liaoning Corridor, send troops from Shanhaiguan, counterattack the base city of the imperial capital, and complete a territory exchange!

So, what is the situation in Shanhaiguan right now?

Since the main force of the wolf clan was pinned down in the north by the Imperial Army, the main force attacking Shanhaiguan was composed of Jurchen elites commanded by Nurhaci and his son Huang Taiji, two semi-saint-level powerhouses, followed by the armies of Sanhan and Goguryeo!

When the Shanhaiguan city defense falls, Yuan Ziru, who built a defense line in the Ningyuan area, will face unprecedented challenges!

However, just a few days ago, as Yuan Ziru expected, Nurhaci led his army to gather troops in Huludao. Due to the tragic death of Dorgon, the extremely angry Nurhaci vowed to retake Shanhaiguan. However, he did not act rashly, but waited for the army of the Three Han and Goguryeo to join forces soon, but due to the flooding of Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea and inland rivers, the army was advancing slowly!

Intend to gather heavy troops and take Shanhaiguan in one go!

Yuan Ziru did not choose to defend blindly, but just like the strategy he had agreed with Xu Kun at the time, he took advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold and killed with weak forces!

There is a disadvantage in terms of military strength, but in other aspects, Yuan Ziru's side is not at a disadvantage!

Especially under the decision of Tianyan, all cutting-edge artillery fire was handed over to Yuan Ziru's 100,000-man army!

Rich firepower attack, these heavy artillery originally used for the defense of the imperial capital, at the beginning of Yuan Ziru's use of troops against the enemy, fired at full power!

With a sweeping momentum, he swept away the elite Jurchens who had not yet reacted!

And under his outstanding leadership, he concentrated his artillery fire and bombarded Nurhaci who wanted to stabilize the morale of the army!

The first half-saint of the Jurchens died under the artillery fire!

Even Huang Taiji, who came to rescue, was seriously injured. The elite Jurchens suffered heavy casualties before launching an attack, and the commander fell, so they had to retreat in embarrassment!

Seeing this battle report, Xu Kun breathed rapidly and applauded!

"Yuan Ziru, you are really a tiger general!"

But the danger of Shanhaiguan has not been resolved. Yuan Ziru has to face the invasion of the three Han Ma Han, Chen Han, Mou Chen and Goguryeo armies that are more powerful than Wuhuan and Jurchen!

After winning a battle, Shanhaiguan is still in danger!

After learning about the opponent's movements, the main force of the imperial capital has already considered retreating!

But in the face of the upcoming victory, who is willing to give up?

At this time, we can see the unity of the imperial capital!

After receiving the continuous victory reports from the front, those scattered soldiers volunteered. They could not rush to the front line far away in Liaodong, so they spontaneously formed an army and went to Shanhaiguan to assist in the defense!

Yuan Ziru was very moved, but he did not intend to use the lives of these cannon fodder to fill this war!

Instead, he took advantage of the number of people and built hundreds of defensive offensives throughout the Liaoxi Corridor!

Using artificial fortifications, step by step, to resist the opponent's overwhelming offensive!

Three days, relying on these fortifications to hold on for three days, the Shanhaiguan War was about to break out!

This time, the army led by Yuan Ziru had no way to retreat. Facing a force advantage of dozens of times, they could only rely on the inherent defense of Shanhaiguan to counterattack!

They were almost broken into by the enemy many times!

Xu Kun was upset: "Uncle Yang, looking at this offensive, even if Yuan Ziru has military talent, Shanhaiguan will fall within a few days!"

"Don't worry, Shanhaiguan has not fallen!"

This is old information from a few days ago. Yang Jian showed Xu Kun the latest information!

The 100,000 troops led by Yuan Ziru were almost wiped out, relying on the cannon fodder army in the rear to fill the gap with human lives!

This is really an arduous and arduous self-defense counterattack!

Yang Jian said that Shanhaiguan has not fallen, so where is the solution?
