Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 197

The fifth rock of the empire's iron wall died, and died under Qingyangzi's flying sword.

The originally bustling battlefield fell into a deadly silence at the moment when the tall body of the fifth rock suddenly fell, and there was no sound.

I can't react at all.

Boom~~~
The next moment, there was a louder commotion in the army than before.

There were blood-red soldiers with red eyes, ready to avenge the commander-in-chief; there were also soldiers with pale faces, subconsciously touching the head on the neck, sweating profusely.

What's more, it's confusion and fear.

Uneasy emotions quickly spread in the army like a virus, and the fighting spirit condensed by the fifth rock during his lifetime melted and disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye like Bai Xue.

Mess.

But at the top of Longshou City, it was a different scene.

Qingyangzi showed his supernatural power and killed the famous fifth rock with one sword. Whether it was the disciples of the sect or the soldiers of the dragon head army, all cheered and were inexplicably excited.

"It's time to dispatch." Qingyangzi turned around and said to his personal disciple Qin Shilin.

"understand!"

Qin Shilin was also excited, impressed by Master's peerless sword, with a firm face, fascinated, swung his right hand vigorously, and made an offensive gesture.

That's right, the Longshou Army will take the initiative to launch an attack.

Taking advantage of the enemy's chaos, the city gate suddenly opened, and the first and second brigades of the Longshou Army, which were also its two most elite ace troops, rushed out brazenly and took the enemy's central army.

One by one, the Zixiao Sword Sect disciples jumped down from the top of the wall and joined them.

kill! ! ! !
More than a hundred flying swords soared into the air at the same time, forming a massacre sword array, and landed on the heads of the vanguard of the First Legion. Under the sword energy, hundreds of good heads were smashed to pieces in an instant.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air.

Ah~~~~
The First Legion, which had been hesitant in the first place, lost all fighting spirit after being so frightened, and subconsciously retreated, each one in a panic.

While speaking, the vanguard of the Dragon Shou Army had already arrived.

One side has no will to fight,
One side is high-spirited.

The first and second brigades of the Longshou Army were originally reorganized by the imperial army. Like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, it stabbed fiercely into the enemy's phalanx, setting off a massacre.

With the cooperation of the killing sword array, there is an aura of "gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas".

indomitable,

I am invincible.

After the vanguard troops opened the gap, the army stationed in Longshou City was mighty and mighty, killing generals from various gates at the same time, launching a full-scale counterattack against the enemy.

The situation is completely reversed.

Without the Fifth Rock sitting in command, the First Legion had no leader, and the three division commanders could not command the other. Faced with such a predicament, they could only fight on their own, and then turned into fleeing for their lives.

Although they didn't want to admit it, the generals were afraid in their hearts that a deep purple flying sword would suddenly appear above their heads and take their lives before the blink of an eye.

This fear of death and the despair created by the absolute power gap.

Really chilling.

The black army of iron and blood changed from lions to sheep in an instant, fleeing in embarrassment in the wilderness.Looking around, there are soldiers fleeing all over the mountains and plains.

It was spectacular.

Naturally, the Longshou Army would not let go of this god-given opportunity. They pursued and killed them all the way, constantly expanding their victories, sweeping away the grievances of being suppressed and beaten by the enemy before.

The killing is hearty.

The First Legion, which fled in all directions, couldn't remember it at all. If they could reunite at this time, they would have no fear of the defeated generals of the Dragon Shoujun.

It's a pity that the dispersed troops could never get together again.

…………

Taihua County, Taihua City.

After reading the emergency battle report sent from the front line, the third prince Gantai's expression was cloudy.

The fifth rock was killed in battle, and the first army that went out was defeated by the sudden attack of the dragon head army and retreated with heavy casualties. They retreated for [-] miles one after another before barely gaining a foothold
The bad news one after another made the third prince dizzy.

"How could this be?"

At the moment when the army surrounded Longshou City, the Third Prince was already convinced that the battle was a sure thing, and he had even prepared the memorial to the imperial court.

The result was a shocking reversal.

However, the third prince's nightmare didn't stop there.

At the same time that the counterattack was successful, the dark chess set by the Zixiao Sword Sect in Taihua County was also mobilized, and they suddenly launched an attack, launching dozens of assassinations one after another.

Those who were assassinated included the direct descendants of the third prince, the post station responsible for delivering information, the quartermaster in charge of grain and grass, and local officials.
Variety.

Even the food and grass camp of the First Army Corps on the front line was completely burned down by the Zixiao Sword Sect.

In order to defend Longshou City, the Zixiao Sword Sect really tried their best this time, and they did not hesitate to use their trump cards one after another to fully demonstrate the sect's heritage and destructive power.

Taihua County fell into chaos for a while.

Only then did people realize that there were actually chess pieces of the sect in the counties where the sect rebellion had not broken out.The originally mysterious sect alliance now seems even more unpredictable.

How many cards do they have yet to play?

The despondent third prince Gantai, while fighting the fire everywhere, made an astonishing decision-withdraw troops from Longshou, return to the already occupied Laishan and Xunwu prefectures, and stop the war.

After recovering the land of the two prefectures, the third prince can be regarded as able to give the court a little explanation.

The accidental death of the fifth rock gave the third prince an excellent opportunity to completely control the First Army, and took the opportunity to adjust the generals in the army.

The banner played is exactly the disaster of defeat in this round.

The third prince threw all the blame for the defeat on Fifth Rock's direct line generals, and used this as an excuse to punish them. They were either demoted, left to manage logistics, or given a vacant post and suspended.

All vacated positions of real power will be taken over by the third prince's direct line.

Most of the generals in Piansheng's attack on Longshou County are direct descendants of the fifth rock, which gave the third prince the best excuse, and the methods are not without viciousness.

Of course, a lost battle is a lost battle.

After this battle, the prestige of the third prince Gantai in the empire is bound to be weakened again. The advantages established before have been exhausted with repeated defeats.

He is no longer the best choice.

Even in Shendu, those ministers who originally fell for the third prince, whose force field was not very firm, inevitably began to waver and were ready to vote for him.

It's hard to say, it's another round of standing in line.

…………

Longshou County, Longshou City.

The First Army retreated, but the Dragon Shou Army did not continue to pursue.

For the Zixiao Sword Sect, being able to defend Longshou City is already the greatest victory.

There is still a huge gap in strength between the Dragon Head Army and the First Army of the Empire. This time they just used the head of the Fifth Rock as a shock.

If the current situation can be maintained for a long time, it is not impossible.

Qingyangzi's ultimate move is like a nuclear bomb, but one cannot be separated. If he really wants to anger Shendu, he might not be able to win the game if he sends a big monk in the spirit stage to help out.

The Zixiao Sword Sect is very sober.

After the baptism of this battle, although the Longshou army suffered heavy casualties, it can barely be regarded as growing up. Given time, it may not be impossible to become an elite army.

Therefore, what the Zixiao Sword Sect still needs is time, and it is not unacceptable to be able to "shake hands and make peace".

Under the tacit understanding of both sides, Longshou County, which was full of wars, returned to calm just like that. The corpses, bloodstains, ruins, and gunpowder smoke left by the war were all covered under the heavy snow.

The earth is white.

…………

Gods.

While the third prince was busy purging the first army, the accidental death of the fifth rock set off a storm in the ruling and opposition parties.

As the iron wall of the empire, the most powerful force of the empire defending the western region, and a veteran veteran who followed Emperor Qian in his expedition to the west, the death of the fifth rock was like a heavy punch, slamming into the heart of the imperial court.

It even sprinkled a handful of salt on the fragmented wounds of the people of the empire.

In Taihua County and Xihuang County in the western region, some people have spontaneously mourned the fifth rock, and the entire western region is shrouded in a sense of sadness.

Even God feels this way.

In the western region, it was the first heavy snowfall since the beginning of winter.
