January 19569 Eltiero Zhongdu
When Lancelo sneaked into the demon world and carried out special missions, the demons in the human world did not wait quietly for him to return.Although Yinzhen's injuries have not been completely healed, the demons' offensive operations have begun.
From the appearance of the demons in Zhongdu City to the order to attack, it was more than twenty days between them. In the past twenty days, the demons had no military action except for sending poisonous dragons to attack Jixia and Kunlun Mountain. This really made the world suspicious and could not guess what the demons sold in the gourd.
However, the demons in Zhongdu City were not idle. Although there were leisurely people like Hulagu, the ministers, including Shi Chong, were all wise and made various efforts to supplement the issue of soldiers. While calling on experts from the combat power of guarding the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, they also tried to pull millions of demonized humans into their own camp.
After formal statistics, among the millions of demonized humans in Zhongdu, less than one million people still have the ability to think. The rest are some monsters that rely on wild instincts to act. Although they have strong lethality and can play a role in the battlefield, they cannot do anything other than destruction.
Not to mention helping build, just raising these monsters is a very headache.
The group of monsters can be driven by, but it is impossible to include them in one's own side. So what Shi Chong has to do is to pull nearly one million new demons who still have sanity into his own side's camp.
Coercion and temptation are useful to more than 90% of creatures, this is true for humans, and the same is true for these newborn demons, especially when they look at their ugly appearance in the mirror and know that they will never be able to return to their old faces, many people have developed a mentality of giving up, joining the completely unfamiliar demon clan, and serving allegiance to the Great Demon King.
So, within more than 20 days, Shi Chong built a new demon army.
At the same time, Hulagu also used his personal charm to form a mixed army of humans and demons who were loyal to him and hand over to his father Yinzhen. Although he was still not stable, the military strength of the demons in the human world was completed.
When Hulagu and Shi Chong had their own personal force, Yinzhen, as their leader, issued a summoning order to them.
On January 25th, I talked to Meixi River in the back garden and enjoyed fishing.
In order to announce the entire attack plan against the human world, Yinzhen issued an order to summon Hulagu, Shi Chong and others into the palace to listen to his ruling, but the form of the summoning was a bit strange. It was not to go to the main hall to discuss matters, but to recruit people to the artificial stream beside the imperial garden to fish together.
What fish should I catch when doing big things?Is there anything wrong?
Among Yinzhen's ministers, there is no idiot who will ask this question directly, because compared to Cao Shou's mediocre disguise in the past, his current style is the traditional style of the Great Demon King.
The strength required by those who can firmly sit on the throne of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace is not just martial arts and wisdom, but also the so-called power and skills.
When the great demon kings of all generations control, they will act in a profound and profound manner, making it difficult for their subordinates to guess their thoughts. Then, because of the unpredictable power, they will feel fear and fearful. Therefore, the great demon king will sometimes deliberately issue some strange orders and do some inexplicable behaviors, so that their subordinates can't guess the meaning even if they want to break their minds, and finally understand the king's far-sighted vision.
Therefore, no minister thought that fishing was very strange. Instead, he believed that His Majesty the Demon King must have announced some important matters, so he deliberately made this mystery.
Of course, there is no need to hide the disagreement between Hulagu and Shi Chong at this time. The two of them entered the palace from different palace gates in tacit understanding to avoid the displeasure of meeting when entering the palace to meet. However, the visit time should not be too late, otherwise such a trick would be out of control and would cause the king's blame, which would be a mistake.
Hulagu, who chose to enter the palace without his entourage, met an unexpected person before the palace gate.
Did Your Highness come to the palace to visit him?
Replying to the true face of the red eyes of the snow-skinned skin, Hao Kelian, who appeared in the form of a demon, happened to be standing at the gate of the palace, watching Xu Lagu come over; she was still the usual sexy dress, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows added a hint of beauty, and the waves flowed, her seductive style was even better than before.
After a battle in Zhongdu City, Hao Kelian and Hua Tianxie fell into Bai Qi's trap and were trapped in the power of the main reactor explosion.
Hao Kelian was seriously injured at that time. If it weren't for Hua Tianxie as a buffer in front of her and Zhang set up a layer of air shield, she would have died in that shocking explosion.
Afterwards, she and Hua Tianxie were rescued by the demons on the verge of death. Hua Tianxie was seriously injured because she tried to save one more person in that harsh environment.
Both were rescued by Yinzhen himself. With the invincible power of the Taitian throne, they were quickly restored in a short period of time and regained the existing combat power of the demon clan.
The Great Demon King personally helped his subordinates to treat injuries. If it were another object, it would be surprising, but if the object was Hao Kelian, the demons took it for granted.
As early as Cao Shou's period, Yinzhen and Hao Kelian had contacts.
They do not interact with each other, but maintain the physical relationship they need to win each other.
Hulagu, who saw all this, often sighed that Senior Brother Gongjin also knew about this. If Gongjin could be particularly careful in this regard, he might be able to see through some clues and then guess Cao Shou's true face. However, after Gongjin became a widow, he was almost obsessed with the matters of men and women, and his deliberate psychological avoidance made Gongjin unable to see some obvious problems.
How do you enter the palace alone?I'm afraid this is not safe.
In the demon camp, Hao Kelian is not a faction of Shi Chong. Although both sides obey Yinzhen, Hao Kelian and Shi Chong are not harmonious. Therefore, the enemy's enemy is a friend, and Xulagu and Hao Kelian maintain a relationship that is neither good nor bad.
I have worked hard and thought too much.But I believe in my own measure. Hey, I have so much control. You shouldn’t want to be my stepmother, right?
The joke is enough. Both sides know that this is impossible. In fact, Yinzhen never established a future during his reign. Before becoming the Great Demon King, although there was a woman who gave birth to a child for him, he had never given a formal title. Hao Kelian, who had a relationship with Yinzhen, never thought that she could get any privileges based on this. Instead, she deeply felt a sense of caution and fear of being with the king as if she was with a tiger, because she knew very well what the concubines in the harem of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace ended.
The two entered the imperial garden together, and Shi Chong and others also came in from the other side. Not long after they met Yinzhen by the stream, they received an imperial edict from Yinzhen, ordering Shi Chong and Xulagu to lead their troops separately and start attacking the human world.
The attack on the human world has officially begun!
For some of the lowest-level demon soldiers, they came to the human world to rebuild the past glory of the demon clan. They thought they would have a high-spirited first battle and suffered heavy casualties. This undoubtedly hit their morale. However, as long as the Great Demon King, who constitutes the main combat power, and their advantages are still there. Therefore, when the order to send troops to attack was conveyed, everyone was ready to go out to fight as soon as possible and establish their own martial arts merits.
The demon soldiers of the lower class can think this way, but as the demons of the leadership class, they cannot look at things in a simple and optimistic manner.
Those who were able to meet Yinzhen and were deeply confused about the current developments.
The earliest tactical idea of the generals who were headed by Shi Chong and commanding the actual combat troops of the demon clan was to invite Yinzhen to take over the formation, and with his invincible martial arts, he directly attacked Reins and wiped out the enemy's base. This is the most direct and effective way. Although Yinzhen's injuries did not completely heal, it affected his personal strength somewhat, looking around the contemporary era, no one can compete with him. Even if he was injured, Yinzhen was still an invincible existence in the world.
But the development of the situation was not as they imagined. Yinzhen handed over all the practical work to his subordinates for the tasks and missions assigned by everyone, showing that the Great Demon King had no intention of standing on the front line and participating in the battle situation.
If any other organization had done this, it would be impossible to escape the reputation of cowardice and avoiding war, but no demon clan believed that the great demon king of this generation, Yinzhen, was a coward who was afraid of death.
Yinzhen's refusal to stand on the front line to fight, which caused a lot of speculation and rumors afterwards. Some people believe that it was because he was too seriously injured by Li Yu, just like he was severely injured by Temujin back then. It took at least a thousand years of recuperation, so he could not stand on the front line. However, Shi Chong and other ministers who had followed Yinzhen for many years easily denied this rumor.
When Yinzhen was injured in the past, his expression and eyes were different from that now.
After following the profound understanding for many years, Shi Chong knew very well what Yinzhen looked like when he was seriously injured. In recent times, Yinzhen’s appearance did not seem to be injured, but seemed to be thinking about something.
So, what is the reason why Yinzhen was unwilling to attack the enemy himself, but adopted this tactic that was costly and suffered heavy casualties for the demons?
Shi Chong believed that with Yinzhen's shrewdness, there must be a profound reason behind this, to take into account the real interests of the demons.
Although Yinzhen never explained this question, Shi Chong secretly speculated and got an answer.
Your Majesty's knowledge is far beyond ours. His eyes have crossed the battlefield in front of him, and he is conceiving what will happen after conquering the world of humanity.
Before invading the human world, Yinzhen's only concern was Li Yu and Bai Qi, whose strength was unpredictable. Now both of these superstars have died, and Yu Zi is not afraid. Although the demons have paid a considerable price, looking at the human world, there is no resistance. Occupying the entire Wind Continent is just a natural task.
The question is, what after the occupation?
Yinzhen is no longer young. Although he can still sit firmly in the supreme position for hundreds of years, he cannot ignore the issue of successors. In addition, the rule of the demon clan itself is also a major problem. After occupying the human world, how Yinzhen should establish a system to maintain the balance of power among the demon clan factions, these must be started early.
Your Majesty hopes that the ministers will compete with each other and build their own achievements in the human world, so he retreats behind the scenes. On the other hand, he also maintains checks and balances between the two sides.
When Shi Chong explained his subordinates like this, Hulagu also gave an additional explanation to his subordinates.
Simply put, we must pull each other's back, and he will be insidiously reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Hulaguxing shrugged his shoulders and said it as if nothing had happened, and invisibly pointed out a certain authenticity.
In the art of imperial control, the ministers are too compatible, and one or two highly respected second-ranked figures may threaten the emperor's supreme status. Compared with this situation, the ministers in the court are divided into two to three small groups, and fight within the scope of the emperor's control due to their interests and ideas. This not only makes the king's status more stable, but also makes it easier to control and master the ministers.
Hulagu certainly knew these power techniques very well. Although he also admitted that this practice had its effect, when he took over the power of the Medici family, he never wanted to use this dark-skinned dominance technique. No matter how much benefit this practice could bring, Hulagu was tired of being involved in this endless little struggle.
It is not a real struggle to distinguish life and death, but just being kept in a small fish tank with invisible shapes and fiddled with an invisible hand.
When you win, that hand will stop you from taking the last blow; when you retreat, you will be protected by the final bottom line. Such a struggle is just a clown's funny performance, and Hulagu deeply dislikes this approach.
Although he felt unhappy, Xulagu did not have many choices on this. The road in front of him was not only clear in direction, but also very narrow, which made him frown at the current two options: Jixia and Kunlun Mountain.
Why is there no choice that neither is this?I often appear in the exam papers. I am not such a hardworking person. Even if I send me to the battle, it is not a guarantee of victory.
Having said that, Hulagu is the second most powerful force of the current demon clan. No matter how tactical considerations are, he is the first to be affected. Judging from Hulagu's situation, if he is always out of the matter, the voice and status of Shi Chongyi's sect will gradually increase, and eventually pose a threat to him. Therefore, Hulagu needs to make appropriate contributions and hard work to prevent his situation from worsening.
I really don’t know who I’m working so hard for?
For Hulagu, joining the demon camp is a question that is irrelevant to right or wrong. Whether it is in terms of the evolution of the situation or the strength comparison between the two sides, this is a correct judgment, but why is his annoyance more than twice as high as before?
Despite his helplessness, Hulagu took over the job of attacking Reins.
When he went to Kunlun Mountain to seize the Immortal Tree, it seemed that he would encounter the obstacles of the enemy's masters, so the last time the poisonous dragon group was wiped out and he could not come back. Afterwards, according to Shi Chong's analysis, the people who were in the way there were probably Hai Jiaxuan and Meilin; Xulagu refused to deal with Kunlun Mountain, not because he was concerned about conflict with them, but because he was disgusted with the Immortal Tree, which made him reject everything related to it.
Snatching plants and kidnap disabled ladies. This kind of job is too gloomy, so it is more suitable for me to just step on Jixiacheng.
Xulagu was not just talking boldly. He had a talented military general. He had no chance to play since the Mai Shi War. Now that he made up his mind, the actions he took were very strong. The demon troops under his command drove to the Longteng Mountains within a few days. On the day of his arrival, he attacked Beimen Tianguan with great force and captured it.
It's not surprising at all that Ah actually adopted such a natural tactic. Should the Reins be said to be smart?Or is it a disappointment?
Xulagu was not surprised at all because the enemy had no intention of defending and not attacking.
The demon troops attacking Beimen Tianguan encountered a counterattack from the ancient magical automatic weapons, but did not encounter half of the enemy. Only more than a hundred robots and automatic guns and cannons fought back at them.
The demons did not come to the battlefield without any hand. In addition to the weapons in their hands, they also had siege equipment and chariots. Although these equipment were roughly made, they were easier to exert the brute force of the demon soldiers. Especially when they rode the bulky chariot pulled by the unicorn lion and rushed towards the enemy formation like a sea of rushing towards the sea, the metal robots that were blocking the front were even unable to resist and were flattened under the wheel.
After a brief round of battle, the demon soldiers destroyed all the automatic weapons of the ancient magic path and occupied the Beimen Tianguan.
Although it is the most correct strategy, the enemy's decisiveness is, well... interesting.
If he and Reince's decision makers were relocated, he would definitely make such a decision, because after Reince welcomed the Queen Mother of the West, he should have learned the secret of the immortal tree. In addition to Jixia itself, the focus of the guards was also Kunlun Mountain. Reince's combat power may not be sufficient, and the troops were divided into two groups were already difficult to defend. If he still tried to fight in the Beimen Tianguan and block the invasion of the demon army, it would undoubtedly be a foolish act on his own.
However, Beimen Tianguan is convenient for the advantage of geographical location. If Zhang set up a strong barrier, it would not be easy for the demon army to break through. For any defender, defending Beimen Tianguan is a great temptation, and it is not easy to give up this temptation. Therefore, Hulagu would give his opponent such a high evaluation when he saw the empty Beimen Tianguan.
How long has the person been evacuated?Ah, forget something more important...
Seeing that the demon troops destroyed all the ancient magic weapons and were about to move into Beimen Tianguan in large quantities, Xulagu suddenly realized and immediately ordered all teams to retreat and leave Beimen Tianguan at full speed.
As soon as this order was issued, the sound of a shocking explosion spread throughout the sky. The explosion from the inside of the Beimen Tianguan enveloped the entire mountain in flames and storm.
Driven by the lion chariot, the demon soldiers frantically urged the unicorn lion to pull the cart, trying to escape from the explosion range, but the rolling wave of flames took a step forward, and started from the back of the team, quickly swallowing the unavoidable demon soldiers.
The strong shock wave and high-temperature flame swept around, and the solid special building materials were instantly swallowed by the red flames. As well as the demon troops exploring nearby, they all became victims of the explosion, turning into churning mushroom-shaped fire clouds, ejecting into the sky.
Alas, two thousand years have passed, and mankind has made a lot of progress. During the War of Jiuzhou, there was no such tricky enemy as the Baizi family.
Hulagu would not sit still and watch the damage situation expand. When the explosion occurred, he had already shot out from the hill where he stood, and shot at the rolling flame storm at full speed, using his own strength to prevent the line of fire from extending. This force that destroyed the entire Beimen Tianguan was too powerful. Hulagu retreated dozens of feet in the air, and finally relied on the supreme power of the Zhaitian position to suppress the spread of the line of fire.
However, Reins's vicious trap is not just a simple one. After the big explosion, there are also some small gifts that follow.
During the War in Jiuzhou, the demon army did not encounter the ancient magic weapons, and in the next two thousand years, there was no chance to see the relevant machinery. In fact, not to mention the demon race, even the people on the Wind Continent did not understand the basic knowledge of the ancient magic. Therefore, when the mushroom-shaped fire-like clouds gradually disappeared and white silk began to float down from the sky, no one of the demon soldiers present knew what it was and instinctively reached out to grab it.
The white fluffy was like snowflakes, slowly falling, and looked so beautiful, but only Hulagu knew the truth and knew that the atomic dust that polluted the sky after the nuclear explosion was more toxic than any other severe poison. At this moment, he could only transport his power to sweep the strong wind and blow these snow-like atomic dust into the sky again, scattering to other hills around him.
This is a correct judgment, but the time is still a little slower. This delay caused a considerable price afterwards. All the demon soldiers who touched the atomic dust were infected with radiation and died in large numbers within three months. In the next two years, all survivors were cleared one by one.
Hulagu's first battle to attack Reince ended in such a disgraceful form. The vanguard of attacking Beimen Tianguan can be said to have been wiped out, and no one left behind, but compared to this setback, Hulagu felt that what he should pay attention to was the determination to fight against the enemy.
First hurt yourself and then hurt the enemy. Although this victory is beautiful, the price paid in advance is quite high. Can future battles be handled in accordance?
Hulagu spoke lightly, hitting the core of the problem.
Reince's first victory did not cause much damage to the demon army. At best, it only ruined its spirits. However, this victory was to sacrifice Beimen Tianguan and turn the entire Beimen Tianguan into nothing in exchange for it. Once the demons drove straight into and attacked Reince's territory, will those people in Jixia repeat this tactic?
Put the tactic of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields to the limit, so that every inch of Reince's land becomes scorched earth, and with the awareness of dying together, he fought fiercely with the demons in the poor mountains and rivers until the last moment.
This was the tactic adopted by Reins Thiren at the end of the Kyushu War. It was a strategy that he would never use until the end. This time he used it boldly when the human and demons first confronted each other, which made Hulagu notice the enemy's determination.
There is no more clearer war book than this. I already understand your enlightenment.But don't think I'm the kind of good guy who won't fight back when beaten.
Hulagu made such a declaration. In fact, although no one would think of him as such a kind of kind person, few people expected that his counterattack would come so quickly.
On the evening of the day when Hulagu attacked Beimen Tianguan, a change occurred over Jixia City. First, the clouds flowed rapidly, and then discharged in the air. Not long after, a raging fire lights started from the sky, dyeing the entire sky red in an instant. Then, amid the series of whistling sounds, a dazzling meteor shower fell from the sky and attacked the ground frantically.
On average, each meteor is only the size of a desktop and is not huge in size. However, when these meteors drag on the tail of the flame, they carry a strong impact force and fall from the sky to the point of falling, the destruction effect is extraordinary, enough to cause heavy casualties in Jixia City.
Fortunately, Jixia City has the strongest defensive force of Reins Thiren. A red figure flew into the sky, and the snow-white needle sword pierced intensively, destroying all the meteor showers that entered within a radius of hundreds of feet, without half of them causing harm to the buildings in the city. People on the ground witnessed this scene, and were glad and relieved, and even cheered loudly.
Miss Feng'er's sword skills are also improved, which is gratifying.
Gengoro was looking up at this scene below.
Lancelo is not here. As Reince's chief combat power, he does not have to rush to take action on all tasks. In terms of division of responsibilities, the task of alerting and guarding Jixia is temporarily handed over to Feng'er.
Feng'er's sword strike only destroyed more than a dozen meteors, and the break in the sky suddenly disappeared, and the more than a hundred meteorites that were originally going to cross the break were all blocked somewhere in a different space.
Compared to Feng'er's great power, although not many people have noticed this, anyone with a discerning eye knows who did it.
One of Xiaocao's superpowers can invalidate all magic. For those meteor entities that have appeared, she cannot make it disappear, but she can counterattack the magic that maintains the space rift. As long as the magic is invalidated, the space rift will automatically disappear and the attack will be wiped out.
Hulagu's counterattack came so fast and so vicious.
Well, you did not expect him to attack Jixia directly before, but at this level, it doesn't seem to be considered vicious.
If it is only this level, then Hulagu is not Hulagu.
Oh, do you mean he has a second wave of attacks?
No, no, all attacks should be over at this time.
While speaking, Xiaocao always looked up at the sky, and her translucent figure was almost invisible under the setting sun. Gengoro suddenly realized that Hulagu's attack on Jixia was just one of many attacks. Although he could not hurt Jixia, he effectively blocked Jixia's combat power and could not take into account the war zones outside Jixia. On the other hand, Hulagu also clearly grasped Xiaocao and Gengoro's mentality that he was unwilling to disperse his combat power, and took advantage of their mentality that he would not step out of Jixia to carry out reverse blockade, and placed the attack target outside Jixia.
In the past two thousand years of the war in Jiuzhou, both humans and demons have made progress respectively.
The ancient magic technology developed by the Bai family caused a great pain to the demons as soon as the war started. However, in terms of magic technology, the demons were originally better than humans. The research over the past two thousand years has achieved extraordinary results. In fact, it was surprising that Xiaocao was actually used on the battlefield, because Reince could not master such long-range jump teleportation technology.
If only such technology is available, the lethality will be limited, but Hulagu has a mind that can double the lethality.
The poisonous dragon group failed to attack Jixia. In addition to seeing Jixia's defense system information, Hulagu also saw the fact that his teleportation technology was exposed. When attacking Jixia again, the enemy must be prepared. Therefore, he calculated the enemy's psychology. While launching a meteor to attack Jixia, a large number of meteor showers also landed in other cities of Reince.
Our vanguard army is still in Beimen Tianguan, but the attack is not limited to here.The attack tactics of time and space teleportation have their innate restrictions. They should be used to attack cities of medium-sized scales. They either take a long time or the magician group needs to rest for a long time afterwards, which is very impractical, so we must use our brains to maximize its effect.
Hulagu explained his tactics and said: There is no need for attacks with too strong lethality. Everything is based on the principle of allowing the magician to retain his magic power.The focus of our tactics is strange and chaos. The time of the process before and after is short and fast. After smashing this city, it will immediately hit the next city.
Your Highness, it only takes ten seconds for each city to launch a meteor shower, which will not cause too much casualties, at least more than three minutes.
Who said I would cause major casualties?Can't you move your brain?
Hulagu didn't just throw this sentence away. He led his subordinates to think and educate them to understand what they mean.
At present, Jixia has undoubtedly made up his mind to follow the actions of the Jiuzhou War, concentrate all resources and combat power in the capital, give up other places, and never give the demons the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
Hulagu highly praised this tactic, so he launched an attack on Reince Thiren's important city, causing fear and turmoil to the people and confusing the situation.
The human heart is a very fragile thing. As long as chaos can deceive reason, it will cause damage.
People who refuse to be abandoned will inevitably flock to Jixia. So how will Jixia deal with it?
Being blocked by a large number of refugees, exhausting their own supplies too early?
Or should they be wisely kept away from the door?
But in this way, the mobs will definitely resist. By then, the demon army has not arrived yet, and there will be fierce battles outside Jixia City.
Isn’t it great if we can make humans fight themselves so hard that we can easily harvest the results?From ancient times to the present, what humans are best at is to beat themselves.
Hulagu's explanation made all his subordinates applaud and admire him, and he praised him for his resourcefulness and good at planning. For this praise, Hulagu gave an exaggerated hat-taking ceremony and accepted it generously.
Then of course, I am the devil Ah!It is my job to make human suffering.
This sentence later spread to all directions and became a bold saying that all demons support and humans cursed. But in fact, Hulagu also said something in his heart.
Good people don’t live long. If you don’t show your powerful means occasionally, the enemy and us will step on me more and more.
The first battle between the demons and humans was the scorched earth battle at the Beimen Tianguan; the second battle that followed was the inadvertent rain of fire, and the psychological warfare that followed.
The two sides have not formally contacted, but the war has already started. Whether it is Hulagu or Xiaocao, there is no way to guess where the other party's third move will be played.
When Lancelo sneaked into the demon world and carried out special missions, the demons in the human world did not wait quietly for him to return.Although Yinzhen's injuries have not been completely healed, the demons' offensive operations have begun.
From the appearance of the demons in Zhongdu City to the order to attack, it was more than twenty days between them. In the past twenty days, the demons had no military action except for sending poisonous dragons to attack Jixia and Kunlun Mountain. This really made the world suspicious and could not guess what the demons sold in the gourd.
However, the demons in Zhongdu City were not idle. Although there were leisurely people like Hulagu, the ministers, including Shi Chong, were all wise and made various efforts to supplement the issue of soldiers. While calling on experts from the combat power of guarding the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, they also tried to pull millions of demonized humans into their own camp.
After formal statistics, among the millions of demonized humans in Zhongdu, less than one million people still have the ability to think. The rest are some monsters that rely on wild instincts to act. Although they have strong lethality and can play a role in the battlefield, they cannot do anything other than destruction.
Not to mention helping build, just raising these monsters is a very headache.
The group of monsters can be driven by, but it is impossible to include them in one's own side. So what Shi Chong has to do is to pull nearly one million new demons who still have sanity into his own side's camp.
Coercion and temptation are useful to more than 90% of creatures, this is true for humans, and the same is true for these newborn demons, especially when they look at their ugly appearance in the mirror and know that they will never be able to return to their old faces, many people have developed a mentality of giving up, joining the completely unfamiliar demon clan, and serving allegiance to the Great Demon King.
So, within more than 20 days, Shi Chong built a new demon army.
At the same time, Hulagu also used his personal charm to form a mixed army of humans and demons who were loyal to him and hand over to his father Yinzhen. Although he was still not stable, the military strength of the demons in the human world was completed.
When Hulagu and Shi Chong had their own personal force, Yinzhen, as their leader, issued a summoning order to them.
On January 25th, I talked to Meixi River in the back garden and enjoyed fishing.
In order to announce the entire attack plan against the human world, Yinzhen issued an order to summon Hulagu, Shi Chong and others into the palace to listen to his ruling, but the form of the summoning was a bit strange. It was not to go to the main hall to discuss matters, but to recruit people to the artificial stream beside the imperial garden to fish together.
What fish should I catch when doing big things?Is there anything wrong?
Among Yinzhen's ministers, there is no idiot who will ask this question directly, because compared to Cao Shou's mediocre disguise in the past, his current style is the traditional style of the Great Demon King.
The strength required by those who can firmly sit on the throne of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace is not just martial arts and wisdom, but also the so-called power and skills.
When the great demon kings of all generations control, they will act in a profound and profound manner, making it difficult for their subordinates to guess their thoughts. Then, because of the unpredictable power, they will feel fear and fearful. Therefore, the great demon king will sometimes deliberately issue some strange orders and do some inexplicable behaviors, so that their subordinates can't guess the meaning even if they want to break their minds, and finally understand the king's far-sighted vision.
Therefore, no minister thought that fishing was very strange. Instead, he believed that His Majesty the Demon King must have announced some important matters, so he deliberately made this mystery.
Of course, there is no need to hide the disagreement between Hulagu and Shi Chong at this time. The two of them entered the palace from different palace gates in tacit understanding to avoid the displeasure of meeting when entering the palace to meet. However, the visit time should not be too late, otherwise such a trick would be out of control and would cause the king's blame, which would be a mistake.
Hulagu, who chose to enter the palace without his entourage, met an unexpected person before the palace gate.
Did Your Highness come to the palace to visit him?
Replying to the true face of the red eyes of the snow-skinned skin, Hao Kelian, who appeared in the form of a demon, happened to be standing at the gate of the palace, watching Xu Lagu come over; she was still the usual sexy dress, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows added a hint of beauty, and the waves flowed, her seductive style was even better than before.
After a battle in Zhongdu City, Hao Kelian and Hua Tianxie fell into Bai Qi's trap and were trapped in the power of the main reactor explosion.
Hao Kelian was seriously injured at that time. If it weren't for Hua Tianxie as a buffer in front of her and Zhang set up a layer of air shield, she would have died in that shocking explosion.
Afterwards, she and Hua Tianxie were rescued by the demons on the verge of death. Hua Tianxie was seriously injured because she tried to save one more person in that harsh environment.
Both were rescued by Yinzhen himself. With the invincible power of the Taitian throne, they were quickly restored in a short period of time and regained the existing combat power of the demon clan.
The Great Demon King personally helped his subordinates to treat injuries. If it were another object, it would be surprising, but if the object was Hao Kelian, the demons took it for granted.
As early as Cao Shou's period, Yinzhen and Hao Kelian had contacts.
They do not interact with each other, but maintain the physical relationship they need to win each other.
Hulagu, who saw all this, often sighed that Senior Brother Gongjin also knew about this. If Gongjin could be particularly careful in this regard, he might be able to see through some clues and then guess Cao Shou's true face. However, after Gongjin became a widow, he was almost obsessed with the matters of men and women, and his deliberate psychological avoidance made Gongjin unable to see some obvious problems.
How do you enter the palace alone?I'm afraid this is not safe.
In the demon camp, Hao Kelian is not a faction of Shi Chong. Although both sides obey Yinzhen, Hao Kelian and Shi Chong are not harmonious. Therefore, the enemy's enemy is a friend, and Xulagu and Hao Kelian maintain a relationship that is neither good nor bad.
I have worked hard and thought too much.But I believe in my own measure. Hey, I have so much control. You shouldn’t want to be my stepmother, right?
The joke is enough. Both sides know that this is impossible. In fact, Yinzhen never established a future during his reign. Before becoming the Great Demon King, although there was a woman who gave birth to a child for him, he had never given a formal title. Hao Kelian, who had a relationship with Yinzhen, never thought that she could get any privileges based on this. Instead, she deeply felt a sense of caution and fear of being with the king as if she was with a tiger, because she knew very well what the concubines in the harem of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace ended.
The two entered the imperial garden together, and Shi Chong and others also came in from the other side. Not long after they met Yinzhen by the stream, they received an imperial edict from Yinzhen, ordering Shi Chong and Xulagu to lead their troops separately and start attacking the human world.
The attack on the human world has officially begun!
For some of the lowest-level demon soldiers, they came to the human world to rebuild the past glory of the demon clan. They thought they would have a high-spirited first battle and suffered heavy casualties. This undoubtedly hit their morale. However, as long as the Great Demon King, who constitutes the main combat power, and their advantages are still there. Therefore, when the order to send troops to attack was conveyed, everyone was ready to go out to fight as soon as possible and establish their own martial arts merits.
The demon soldiers of the lower class can think this way, but as the demons of the leadership class, they cannot look at things in a simple and optimistic manner.
Those who were able to meet Yinzhen and were deeply confused about the current developments.
The earliest tactical idea of the generals who were headed by Shi Chong and commanding the actual combat troops of the demon clan was to invite Yinzhen to take over the formation, and with his invincible martial arts, he directly attacked Reins and wiped out the enemy's base. This is the most direct and effective way. Although Yinzhen's injuries did not completely heal, it affected his personal strength somewhat, looking around the contemporary era, no one can compete with him. Even if he was injured, Yinzhen was still an invincible existence in the world.
But the development of the situation was not as they imagined. Yinzhen handed over all the practical work to his subordinates for the tasks and missions assigned by everyone, showing that the Great Demon King had no intention of standing on the front line and participating in the battle situation.
If any other organization had done this, it would be impossible to escape the reputation of cowardice and avoiding war, but no demon clan believed that the great demon king of this generation, Yinzhen, was a coward who was afraid of death.
Yinzhen's refusal to stand on the front line to fight, which caused a lot of speculation and rumors afterwards. Some people believe that it was because he was too seriously injured by Li Yu, just like he was severely injured by Temujin back then. It took at least a thousand years of recuperation, so he could not stand on the front line. However, Shi Chong and other ministers who had followed Yinzhen for many years easily denied this rumor.
When Yinzhen was injured in the past, his expression and eyes were different from that now.
After following the profound understanding for many years, Shi Chong knew very well what Yinzhen looked like when he was seriously injured. In recent times, Yinzhen’s appearance did not seem to be injured, but seemed to be thinking about something.
So, what is the reason why Yinzhen was unwilling to attack the enemy himself, but adopted this tactic that was costly and suffered heavy casualties for the demons?
Shi Chong believed that with Yinzhen's shrewdness, there must be a profound reason behind this, to take into account the real interests of the demons.
Although Yinzhen never explained this question, Shi Chong secretly speculated and got an answer.
Your Majesty's knowledge is far beyond ours. His eyes have crossed the battlefield in front of him, and he is conceiving what will happen after conquering the world of humanity.
Before invading the human world, Yinzhen's only concern was Li Yu and Bai Qi, whose strength was unpredictable. Now both of these superstars have died, and Yu Zi is not afraid. Although the demons have paid a considerable price, looking at the human world, there is no resistance. Occupying the entire Wind Continent is just a natural task.
The question is, what after the occupation?
Yinzhen is no longer young. Although he can still sit firmly in the supreme position for hundreds of years, he cannot ignore the issue of successors. In addition, the rule of the demon clan itself is also a major problem. After occupying the human world, how Yinzhen should establish a system to maintain the balance of power among the demon clan factions, these must be started early.
Your Majesty hopes that the ministers will compete with each other and build their own achievements in the human world, so he retreats behind the scenes. On the other hand, he also maintains checks and balances between the two sides.
When Shi Chong explained his subordinates like this, Hulagu also gave an additional explanation to his subordinates.
Simply put, we must pull each other's back, and he will be insidiously reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Hulaguxing shrugged his shoulders and said it as if nothing had happened, and invisibly pointed out a certain authenticity.
In the art of imperial control, the ministers are too compatible, and one or two highly respected second-ranked figures may threaten the emperor's supreme status. Compared with this situation, the ministers in the court are divided into two to three small groups, and fight within the scope of the emperor's control due to their interests and ideas. This not only makes the king's status more stable, but also makes it easier to control and master the ministers.
Hulagu certainly knew these power techniques very well. Although he also admitted that this practice had its effect, when he took over the power of the Medici family, he never wanted to use this dark-skinned dominance technique. No matter how much benefit this practice could bring, Hulagu was tired of being involved in this endless little struggle.
It is not a real struggle to distinguish life and death, but just being kept in a small fish tank with invisible shapes and fiddled with an invisible hand.
When you win, that hand will stop you from taking the last blow; when you retreat, you will be protected by the final bottom line. Such a struggle is just a clown's funny performance, and Hulagu deeply dislikes this approach.
Although he felt unhappy, Xulagu did not have many choices on this. The road in front of him was not only clear in direction, but also very narrow, which made him frown at the current two options: Jixia and Kunlun Mountain.
Why is there no choice that neither is this?I often appear in the exam papers. I am not such a hardworking person. Even if I send me to the battle, it is not a guarantee of victory.
Having said that, Hulagu is the second most powerful force of the current demon clan. No matter how tactical considerations are, he is the first to be affected. Judging from Hulagu's situation, if he is always out of the matter, the voice and status of Shi Chongyi's sect will gradually increase, and eventually pose a threat to him. Therefore, Hulagu needs to make appropriate contributions and hard work to prevent his situation from worsening.
I really don’t know who I’m working so hard for?
For Hulagu, joining the demon camp is a question that is irrelevant to right or wrong. Whether it is in terms of the evolution of the situation or the strength comparison between the two sides, this is a correct judgment, but why is his annoyance more than twice as high as before?
Despite his helplessness, Hulagu took over the job of attacking Reins.
When he went to Kunlun Mountain to seize the Immortal Tree, it seemed that he would encounter the obstacles of the enemy's masters, so the last time the poisonous dragon group was wiped out and he could not come back. Afterwards, according to Shi Chong's analysis, the people who were in the way there were probably Hai Jiaxuan and Meilin; Xulagu refused to deal with Kunlun Mountain, not because he was concerned about conflict with them, but because he was disgusted with the Immortal Tree, which made him reject everything related to it.
Snatching plants and kidnap disabled ladies. This kind of job is too gloomy, so it is more suitable for me to just step on Jixiacheng.
Xulagu was not just talking boldly. He had a talented military general. He had no chance to play since the Mai Shi War. Now that he made up his mind, the actions he took were very strong. The demon troops under his command drove to the Longteng Mountains within a few days. On the day of his arrival, he attacked Beimen Tianguan with great force and captured it.
It's not surprising at all that Ah actually adopted such a natural tactic. Should the Reins be said to be smart?Or is it a disappointment?
Xulagu was not surprised at all because the enemy had no intention of defending and not attacking.
The demon troops attacking Beimen Tianguan encountered a counterattack from the ancient magical automatic weapons, but did not encounter half of the enemy. Only more than a hundred robots and automatic guns and cannons fought back at them.
The demons did not come to the battlefield without any hand. In addition to the weapons in their hands, they also had siege equipment and chariots. Although these equipment were roughly made, they were easier to exert the brute force of the demon soldiers. Especially when they rode the bulky chariot pulled by the unicorn lion and rushed towards the enemy formation like a sea of rushing towards the sea, the metal robots that were blocking the front were even unable to resist and were flattened under the wheel.
After a brief round of battle, the demon soldiers destroyed all the automatic weapons of the ancient magic path and occupied the Beimen Tianguan.
Although it is the most correct strategy, the enemy's decisiveness is, well... interesting.
If he and Reince's decision makers were relocated, he would definitely make such a decision, because after Reince welcomed the Queen Mother of the West, he should have learned the secret of the immortal tree. In addition to Jixia itself, the focus of the guards was also Kunlun Mountain. Reince's combat power may not be sufficient, and the troops were divided into two groups were already difficult to defend. If he still tried to fight in the Beimen Tianguan and block the invasion of the demon army, it would undoubtedly be a foolish act on his own.
However, Beimen Tianguan is convenient for the advantage of geographical location. If Zhang set up a strong barrier, it would not be easy for the demon army to break through. For any defender, defending Beimen Tianguan is a great temptation, and it is not easy to give up this temptation. Therefore, Hulagu would give his opponent such a high evaluation when he saw the empty Beimen Tianguan.
How long has the person been evacuated?Ah, forget something more important...
Seeing that the demon troops destroyed all the ancient magic weapons and were about to move into Beimen Tianguan in large quantities, Xulagu suddenly realized and immediately ordered all teams to retreat and leave Beimen Tianguan at full speed.
As soon as this order was issued, the sound of a shocking explosion spread throughout the sky. The explosion from the inside of the Beimen Tianguan enveloped the entire mountain in flames and storm.
Driven by the lion chariot, the demon soldiers frantically urged the unicorn lion to pull the cart, trying to escape from the explosion range, but the rolling wave of flames took a step forward, and started from the back of the team, quickly swallowing the unavoidable demon soldiers.
The strong shock wave and high-temperature flame swept around, and the solid special building materials were instantly swallowed by the red flames. As well as the demon troops exploring nearby, they all became victims of the explosion, turning into churning mushroom-shaped fire clouds, ejecting into the sky.
Alas, two thousand years have passed, and mankind has made a lot of progress. During the War of Jiuzhou, there was no such tricky enemy as the Baizi family.
Hulagu would not sit still and watch the damage situation expand. When the explosion occurred, he had already shot out from the hill where he stood, and shot at the rolling flame storm at full speed, using his own strength to prevent the line of fire from extending. This force that destroyed the entire Beimen Tianguan was too powerful. Hulagu retreated dozens of feet in the air, and finally relied on the supreme power of the Zhaitian position to suppress the spread of the line of fire.
However, Reins's vicious trap is not just a simple one. After the big explosion, there are also some small gifts that follow.
During the War in Jiuzhou, the demon army did not encounter the ancient magic weapons, and in the next two thousand years, there was no chance to see the relevant machinery. In fact, not to mention the demon race, even the people on the Wind Continent did not understand the basic knowledge of the ancient magic. Therefore, when the mushroom-shaped fire-like clouds gradually disappeared and white silk began to float down from the sky, no one of the demon soldiers present knew what it was and instinctively reached out to grab it.
The white fluffy was like snowflakes, slowly falling, and looked so beautiful, but only Hulagu knew the truth and knew that the atomic dust that polluted the sky after the nuclear explosion was more toxic than any other severe poison. At this moment, he could only transport his power to sweep the strong wind and blow these snow-like atomic dust into the sky again, scattering to other hills around him.
This is a correct judgment, but the time is still a little slower. This delay caused a considerable price afterwards. All the demon soldiers who touched the atomic dust were infected with radiation and died in large numbers within three months. In the next two years, all survivors were cleared one by one.
Hulagu's first battle to attack Reince ended in such a disgraceful form. The vanguard of attacking Beimen Tianguan can be said to have been wiped out, and no one left behind, but compared to this setback, Hulagu felt that what he should pay attention to was the determination to fight against the enemy.
First hurt yourself and then hurt the enemy. Although this victory is beautiful, the price paid in advance is quite high. Can future battles be handled in accordance?
Hulagu spoke lightly, hitting the core of the problem.
Reince's first victory did not cause much damage to the demon army. At best, it only ruined its spirits. However, this victory was to sacrifice Beimen Tianguan and turn the entire Beimen Tianguan into nothing in exchange for it. Once the demons drove straight into and attacked Reince's territory, will those people in Jixia repeat this tactic?
Put the tactic of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields to the limit, so that every inch of Reince's land becomes scorched earth, and with the awareness of dying together, he fought fiercely with the demons in the poor mountains and rivers until the last moment.
This was the tactic adopted by Reins Thiren at the end of the Kyushu War. It was a strategy that he would never use until the end. This time he used it boldly when the human and demons first confronted each other, which made Hulagu notice the enemy's determination.
There is no more clearer war book than this. I already understand your enlightenment.But don't think I'm the kind of good guy who won't fight back when beaten.
Hulagu made such a declaration. In fact, although no one would think of him as such a kind of kind person, few people expected that his counterattack would come so quickly.
On the evening of the day when Hulagu attacked Beimen Tianguan, a change occurred over Jixia City. First, the clouds flowed rapidly, and then discharged in the air. Not long after, a raging fire lights started from the sky, dyeing the entire sky red in an instant. Then, amid the series of whistling sounds, a dazzling meteor shower fell from the sky and attacked the ground frantically.
On average, each meteor is only the size of a desktop and is not huge in size. However, when these meteors drag on the tail of the flame, they carry a strong impact force and fall from the sky to the point of falling, the destruction effect is extraordinary, enough to cause heavy casualties in Jixia City.
Fortunately, Jixia City has the strongest defensive force of Reins Thiren. A red figure flew into the sky, and the snow-white needle sword pierced intensively, destroying all the meteor showers that entered within a radius of hundreds of feet, without half of them causing harm to the buildings in the city. People on the ground witnessed this scene, and were glad and relieved, and even cheered loudly.
Miss Feng'er's sword skills are also improved, which is gratifying.
Gengoro was looking up at this scene below.
Lancelo is not here. As Reince's chief combat power, he does not have to rush to take action on all tasks. In terms of division of responsibilities, the task of alerting and guarding Jixia is temporarily handed over to Feng'er.
Feng'er's sword strike only destroyed more than a dozen meteors, and the break in the sky suddenly disappeared, and the more than a hundred meteorites that were originally going to cross the break were all blocked somewhere in a different space.
Compared to Feng'er's great power, although not many people have noticed this, anyone with a discerning eye knows who did it.
One of Xiaocao's superpowers can invalidate all magic. For those meteor entities that have appeared, she cannot make it disappear, but she can counterattack the magic that maintains the space rift. As long as the magic is invalidated, the space rift will automatically disappear and the attack will be wiped out.
Hulagu's counterattack came so fast and so vicious.
Well, you did not expect him to attack Jixia directly before, but at this level, it doesn't seem to be considered vicious.
If it is only this level, then Hulagu is not Hulagu.
Oh, do you mean he has a second wave of attacks?
No, no, all attacks should be over at this time.
While speaking, Xiaocao always looked up at the sky, and her translucent figure was almost invisible under the setting sun. Gengoro suddenly realized that Hulagu's attack on Jixia was just one of many attacks. Although he could not hurt Jixia, he effectively blocked Jixia's combat power and could not take into account the war zones outside Jixia. On the other hand, Hulagu also clearly grasped Xiaocao and Gengoro's mentality that he was unwilling to disperse his combat power, and took advantage of their mentality that he would not step out of Jixia to carry out reverse blockade, and placed the attack target outside Jixia.
In the past two thousand years of the war in Jiuzhou, both humans and demons have made progress respectively.
The ancient magic technology developed by the Bai family caused a great pain to the demons as soon as the war started. However, in terms of magic technology, the demons were originally better than humans. The research over the past two thousand years has achieved extraordinary results. In fact, it was surprising that Xiaocao was actually used on the battlefield, because Reince could not master such long-range jump teleportation technology.
If only such technology is available, the lethality will be limited, but Hulagu has a mind that can double the lethality.
The poisonous dragon group failed to attack Jixia. In addition to seeing Jixia's defense system information, Hulagu also saw the fact that his teleportation technology was exposed. When attacking Jixia again, the enemy must be prepared. Therefore, he calculated the enemy's psychology. While launching a meteor to attack Jixia, a large number of meteor showers also landed in other cities of Reince.
Our vanguard army is still in Beimen Tianguan, but the attack is not limited to here.The attack tactics of time and space teleportation have their innate restrictions. They should be used to attack cities of medium-sized scales. They either take a long time or the magician group needs to rest for a long time afterwards, which is very impractical, so we must use our brains to maximize its effect.
Hulagu explained his tactics and said: There is no need for attacks with too strong lethality. Everything is based on the principle of allowing the magician to retain his magic power.The focus of our tactics is strange and chaos. The time of the process before and after is short and fast. After smashing this city, it will immediately hit the next city.
Your Highness, it only takes ten seconds for each city to launch a meteor shower, which will not cause too much casualties, at least more than three minutes.
Who said I would cause major casualties?Can't you move your brain?
Hulagu didn't just throw this sentence away. He led his subordinates to think and educate them to understand what they mean.
At present, Jixia has undoubtedly made up his mind to follow the actions of the Jiuzhou War, concentrate all resources and combat power in the capital, give up other places, and never give the demons the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
Hulagu highly praised this tactic, so he launched an attack on Reince Thiren's important city, causing fear and turmoil to the people and confusing the situation.
The human heart is a very fragile thing. As long as chaos can deceive reason, it will cause damage.
People who refuse to be abandoned will inevitably flock to Jixia. So how will Jixia deal with it?
Being blocked by a large number of refugees, exhausting their own supplies too early?
Or should they be wisely kept away from the door?
But in this way, the mobs will definitely resist. By then, the demon army has not arrived yet, and there will be fierce battles outside Jixia City.
Isn’t it great if we can make humans fight themselves so hard that we can easily harvest the results?From ancient times to the present, what humans are best at is to beat themselves.
Hulagu's explanation made all his subordinates applaud and admire him, and he praised him for his resourcefulness and good at planning. For this praise, Hulagu gave an exaggerated hat-taking ceremony and accepted it generously.
Then of course, I am the devil Ah!It is my job to make human suffering.
This sentence later spread to all directions and became a bold saying that all demons support and humans cursed. But in fact, Hulagu also said something in his heart.
Good people don’t live long. If you don’t show your powerful means occasionally, the enemy and us will step on me more and more.
The first battle between the demons and humans was the scorched earth battle at the Beimen Tianguan; the second battle that followed was the inadvertent rain of fire, and the psychological warfare that followed.
The two sides have not formally contacted, but the war has already started. Whether it is Hulagu or Xiaocao, there is no way to guess where the other party's third move will be played.
