Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

Under the border city of Yangzhou, rows of soldiers and horses raised their spears. The sharp spears were placed diagonally upward, and their neat armor exuded a cold color.

Meng Tian, ​​Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Yu, Yan Liang, Fang Shiyuan and others have led an army of 500,000 to the Yangzhou border.

The guarding general here is one of the ten famous generals of the Dayu Dynasty, the fifth one.

At the border, there were 50,000 vanguard troops. Yan Liang was at the forefront, riding a horse, with an iron armor hanging freely on his body, holding a big sword, and looking above with unruly eyes.

Following closely behind was the 300,000-strong army led by Meng Tian. Meng Tian was sitting in the middle of the army, his face as calm as a rock.

The cavalry corps on the left and right wings were led by Cheng Yaojin and Fang Shiyuan.

On the border tower, one by one the generals watched the arrival of Meng Tian's army below, and the commander in the middle caught everyone's attention.

Fifth thanks!

On top of the majestic city tower, the fifth monk is wearing light armor, his feet are separated, and his body is mixed up and down. There is no movement at all, but he has an aura that is as thick as a mountain, as hard as steel, and as strong as iron.

"I, Meng Tian, ​​have come here to take over Yang and Liang Prefectures by order of the King of Chu."

Meng Tian's calm and collected voice penetrated the border and reached the ears of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers guarding the border clearly.

The generals at the border gates on the city tower all looked at Fifth Chengcheng with different expressions.

They already knew the fate of His Highness King Yu, but did they really surrender casually?

Some time ago, letters from King Xuan were sent to the generals at the border one after another, promising to conquer them with heavy profits.

I have to say that some generals have already made some moves!

But none of them knew what the fifth commander-in-chief was thinking. They guarded the Yangzhou border without any action, waiting for the arrival of the King of Chu's army.

At this moment, the soldiers on both sides were quiet, even very nervous, and their eyes were focused on the tall and majestic body of the city tower. Whether it was war or peace, they only thought about it.

King Xuan must have also recruited the fifth Chengcheng, and what will the fifth Chengcheng choose?

"Open the city gate and welcome General Meng and others into the city."

The gentle and calm voice resounded throughout the two armies, making countless soldiers feel relieved.

……………………

Qingzhou Qinghai County, Qingling City, the city guarded by Chu Junyan.

In the lobby, Chu Junyan was sitting high on the throne, and a group of civil servants and generals below had serious faces. They had already arrived in Qinghai County led by Fang Wukui's Xuanwu Army and Ma Chao's Snow Lion Army.

"The King of Chu actually sent Fang Wukui and the Xuanwu Army directly to Qingzhou. Didn't he take Zhongzhou first?"

Song Heng frowned tightly, his face full of reluctance.

"This has come to this, what should we do now?" a general asked nervously.

The general next to him looked sad and said: "How about we retreat first? The King of Chu sent Fang Wukui to Qingzhou, and he must take Qingzhou before the general and King Xuan decide the winner. Our current strength is no longer between the imperial army and the army. Fang Wukui’s opponent was especially Ma Chao, a general under the command of the King of Chu.”

"I agree. The battle between the general and Prince Xuan is about to begin. Why don't we return to Zhaozhou first? Fang Wukui's main goal is to capture Qingzhou. He will not set foot in Zhaozhou until the winner is decided between the general and Prince Xuan." A scribe frowned. Analyzed with a frown.

"No, if we withdraw from Qingzhou, the Yanzhou Alliance will be defeated. If Fang Wukui leads the Xuanwu Army into the Danzhou battlefield, the general will be in danger. The general thinks that we want to hold Fang Wukui back and buy time for the general." A military commander said without hesitation.

"Delay Fang Wukui? To put it simply, how can we delay him? Don't forget that there is also Taishi Shuming. Our stay here is just a waste of sacrifice. It is better to retreat to preserve our strength and wait for the general to win." Someone immediately objected.

"What will happen to the Yanzhou Alliance if we retreat? Can they agree?"

"If they don't agree, they will die. We can't delay Fang Wukui for a few days by staying here."

"You didn't even fight, but you just wanted to retreat. Are you worthy of the general?"

"If you can't delay it, you have to delay it. What if our general is short of just a few days?"

There are many generals who choose to continue to guard.

"How about we send a message to the general and let the general decide whether we should retreat or fight." A person who maintained a neutral idea said.

"But will Fang Wukui give us this time?" The general who initially wanted to evacuate worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? I don't believe it. You can't even block Fang Wukui for two days!" A burly general stood up and said fiercely.

Chu Junyan above was quietly listening to the arguments of the people below, with countless thoughts flashing through his mind one after another.

She knew that her father had already started a decisive battle with Prince Xuan, and the outcome would be known to Qingzhou tomorrow at most.

With the help of the two dynasties, my father has a good chance of winning.

King Chu's intention of letting Fang Wukui enter Qingzhou so quickly was obvious, and he would definitely deal with them as quickly as possible.

no!

Withdraw first!

Chu Junyan cut off all thoughts in an instant, stood up suddenly, a murderous aura emerged, and scanned everyone with sharp eyes.

Suddenly, everyone who was arguing immediately shut up.

"Song Heng, immediately inform the leader of the Yanzhou Chapter that we will evacuate Qingzhou completely, evacuate to the Zhaozhou border, and give Qingzhou to Fang Wukui."

"yes!"

Song Heng stood up immediately, his expression unchanged, this was also the best choice in his heart.

The general is about to win. It is extremely inappropriate for them to fight Fang Wukui head-on. They might as well retreat temporarily and wait for the general to counterattack Fang Wukui.

Just as Song Heng was about to step out of the hall, a powerful master rushed over and said with fear on his face:

"Miss, it's not good, Fang Wukui has led an army to attack the city!"

In an instant, everyone was shocked and angry. They stood up suddenly and rushed to the city gate.

Chu Junyan did not hesitate at all, and the defensive formation in his hand immediately opened. The corners of all the buildings in the city emitted a faint green light, and the turquoise, extremely solid light curtain filled the entire city.

When everyone came to the city wall,

Rumble, the Xuanwu Legion was already in everyone's sight, the ground roared, huge waves of Gang Qi surged crazily in the legion, the speed was getting faster and faster, and the aura of the Xuanwu Legion soldiers became more and more powerful.

Looking from a distance, the black essence penetrated the sky, was vast, and penetrated the entire world. It felt like steel, extremely heavy, and the entire Qingling City was trembling slightly.

The terrifying and violent Xuanwu Legion charged directly towards Qingling City, and an extreme sense of oppression descended.

The atmosphere between heaven and earth suddenly became extremely tense.

"not good!"

Chu Junyan's eyes trembled, his aura soared into the sky, and he clenched the spear in his hand.

"Everyone immediately resist with all their strength!"

Without Chu Junyan's instructions, the three peak sages next to him immediately rushed into the air, waving their hands, and entered the defensive formation with the blessing of endless true energy.

The 80,000 cold dragon troops under Chu Junyan all shouted loudly, and a huge cold dragon army spirit rose into the sky. Chu Junyan's momentum increased again, and the defensive formation was reinforced again!

The six Tianwu realm generals below exploded with momentum, connecting the army's momentum and adding layer after layer of shield walls to the defensive formation.

At this moment, Qingling City reached an unprecedented level of strength.

"Roar!"

Outside the city, the Xuanwu Army has arrived, and the terrifying Xuanwu Army Soul appears, covered in blood and evil, covering the sky and the sun!

Above the head of the Xuanwu Army Soul, Fang Wukui's burly and mighty body stood in the sky. The surrounding dark and gloomy void clouds were like thick ink billowing, and the evil spirits were rolling in the void, like thousands of pythons, wrapping around Fang Wukui's body.

Fang Wukui's dark and deep eyes looked at Qingling City, which was like a turtle shell, with an evil light blooming in his eyes.

Take one step directly,

In an instant, Fang Wukui's entire body changed, and an astonishing dark light erupted that was even more dazzling than the sun. The Xuanwu knife in his hand bloomed with surging knife intent, and the shadow of the Xuanwu knife that covered the sky and sun appeared, flashing with a dazzling sharp light, blooming. With the breath of endless killing!

With one slash at Qingling City, there was a black line across the sky, as if a black python stretched its body and pulled out a long black crack in the sky all the way to Qingling City!

boom!

The extremely terrifying sword struck the defensive formation, and the terrifying sound echoed through Qingling City. All the houses in the city suddenly trembled at that moment.

The Cold Dragon Army Soul screamed, and Chu Junyan spurted out a mouthful of blood, his face became extremely pale, and he flew backwards.

The three venerables above made a pop sound on the spot, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and then were smashed down by an overwhelming force like a mountain or an ocean, and landed on the streets of the city.

Boom!

With a boom, the ground and houses were like paper, instantly shattering, collapsing, sinking, and exploding.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The six Heavenly Martial Realm generals who had integrated military forces into the defensive formation at the city gate were all shocked to death!

The hundreds of thousands of troops immediately collapsed.

What’s even more frightening is that a crack suddenly appeared in the sky defense formation!

One, two, three... dense cracks are spreading rapidly, until the entire defensive formation in the sky is full of cracks, like a broken mirror!

Bang!

There was a loud noise, and under the horrified eyes of countless soldiers in the city, their extremely strong defensive formation light curtain shattered and turned into countless fragments, dissipating throughout Qingling City!

drink!

At the same time, the Xuanwu Legion charging outside the city all shouted loudly and unleashed endless evil energy. It seemed to be composed of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and the momentum was connected to the spirit of the Xuanwu Army in the sky!

"cut!"

The entire legion of soldiers moved in unison and slashed out with their swords!

A hundred-foot-long sword light condensed directly in front of their legion, cutting through the void and slashing towards the city gate!

"Boom!"

The strong and tall city wall was like tofu, easily split into two, and the surrounding walls were broken and collapsed.

The sword light rushed past, leaving only a tragic battle in the place where it was swept. All the soldiers torn by the sword light were instantly reduced to pieces, and large pieces of broken bones and flesh were sprinkled on the ground, like a hell on earth.

A terrifying aura filled the air, and the Xuanwu Legion entered the city without any hindrance. Their eyes were as cold as ice, and their murderous intent surged. They slashed at the approaching enemy troops with their swords, slashing down countless enemy soldiers with sword rays. The soldiers were beheaded.

Fang Wukui, with a cold face and a Xuanwu knife in hand, stepped towards Chu Junyan step by step.

"I didn't expect Qingling City's defense to be broken down so easily by General Fang."

Behind the Xuanwu Legion, Wang Yue watched the city gate collapse with a touch of surprise, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Didn't Fang Wukui once lead the imperial army in a stalemate with Chu Junyan and the Yanzhou Alliance? Looking at the current situation, according to Fang Wukui's strength, it should be easy to defeat them.

Jia Xu on the side saw the surprise on Wang Yue's face, smiled softly, and explained:

"Before, it was because Fang Wukui didn't want to deal with Chu Junyan and the others so quickly, so he didn't take it seriously."

When Wang Yue heard this, he became even more confused:

"You still don't want to take the credit?"

"At that time, the balance of Qingzhou was the most suitable choice for him, the court and even the southwest war situation. As for this kind of credit, it was meaningless for a general like Fang Wukui. His role was to win the overall situation. Rather than between the gains and losses of a state." Jia Xu said softly.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Wang Yue looked at the imposing Fang Wukui in the distance with a hint of envy. It would be great if he could have Fang Wukui's status in the future.

"Niece Chu, if you surrender, I will spare your life!"

Fang Wukui's faint voice resounded throughout the world, and with his steps, a heavy sense of oppression pressed on Chu Junyan.

Seeing the army below being defeated, Chu Junyan's heavy heart became lighter.

"I heard from my father that the most worthy opponent for my father in the entire Dayu Dynasty is Uncle Fang."

"Today, Jun Yan would like to learn a lesson!"

Facing such a powerful opponent like Fang Wukui, Chu Junyan was not afraid. He let the blood flow from the corner of his mouth and turned the white jade silver dragon gun in his hand. Purple lightning surrounded the silver gun and swept across his body. A shocking fighting spirit burst out of her body!

"war!"

Chu Junyan's long hair was fluttering, and the Cold Dragon Army Soul roared behind him. As his momentum rose, the true energy in his body erupted like a volcano, rushing straight towards Fang Wukui like a storm. The white jade and silver dragon gun in his hand swung upwards, with a dazzling silver ray. The light tears through the sky!

"You are too weak."

Seeing Chu Junyan not retreating but advancing instead, Fang Wukui's eyes flashed with admiration, but he couldn't muster the slightest fighting spirit. The sword in his hand bloomed with powerful energy. With a casual swing, the sword roared like a dragon and the wind roared, blooming with thousands of feet of light!

Bang!

Chu Junyan rushed forward quickly and returned quickly!

Her figure smashed down the city wall like a meteor.

"Miss, go quickly!"

In Qingling City, the three peak sages who were knocked down rushed out from the ruins. Seeing Chu Junyan being repelled, they quickly rushed towards Fang Wukui.

Their eyes showed the will to die, and regardless of their seriously injured bodies, they exhausted all the potential in their bodies and unleashed their peak strength, just to hold Fang Wukui back and delay Chu Junyan's escape.

"You guys can die."

Seeing the three people rushing over without knowing their strength, Fang Wukui's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he took a step forward. The terrifying Xuanwu Army Soul behind him suddenly opened his eyes.

The aura that erupted from Fang Wukui's body also exploded in an instant, and the Xuanwu knife in his hand struck down. The long knife was as heavy as the Milky Way, cutting the void!

The three people's attacks hit Fang Wukui's Xuanwu sword and were easily killed.

The sword marks, which were as black as ink and covered the sky, hit the three peak sages unstoppably. They were cut in two like scarecrows, and blood filled the void.

Below, Chu Junyan, who had just barely stood up, saw this scene, her pupils trembled, and her heart was extremely sad. Just when her face showed madness, and she was about to strike to the death, a long sword was already placed on her jade neck. superior. (End of chapter)
