Chapter 98 Invasion of the Western Wilderness

Qin Yi has reached the top of the cliff.

As a deep valley, it is not easy to find a way up, but compared with the various difficulties experienced before, it is no longer worth mentioning. Qin Yi quickly found a cave beside the skeleton array outside the barren mountain, with a space rift leading to the top of the cliff.

When we reached the top, it was snowing, the surroundings were covered with snow, and the air was fresh and pleasant.

The drifting snow could not reach the valley at all, and had long since melted into water amid the endless Monster Qi.

There is rain at the bottom of the valley and snow above, but what separates the upper and lower worlds is two worlds.

After leaving the intense monster atmosphere and killing, the feeling of seeing the world again is really a mixture of emotions. Qin Yi held the snow in his hands and rubbed his face, then happily flew towards the southern border and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After experiencing several lives and deaths, his practice grew unknowingly.

In the middle stage of Martial Dao Innate, Body Tempering is complete.

Immortal Dao, the fourth floor of Fengchu, is close to the stage where he can control weapons.

The dual cultivation of immortality and martial arts has taken shape.

In the moment of joy, Qin Yi's expression changed a little when he couldn't travel more than a hundred miles.

In the fresh and pleasant wind and snow, there was a faint smell of blood. Although it was very faint, at this time Qin Yi felt that it was almost the same as the smell right in front of his nose.

He walked forward quickly following the smell of blood, and saw only a burned-down village, with corpses everywhere inside and outside the village.

Qin Yi held his breath and stepped forward to turn over a corpse to examine it. The corpse was already frozen solid. This didn't happen just now, it had been several days at least.

His eyes were focused on the neck of the corpse, which was the fatal wound, the scar caused by the passing of the scimitar.

"Western Wasteland Invasion!"

Qin Yi's mind exploded, and all the hairs on his body stood up. He quickly posted a magical talisman and ran towards Lihuo City at lightning speed.

How could there be an invasion at this time?

It will take at least two days to go back!

Hope you can make it in time!

…………

Nanli State, Hengshan County.

"Qiang!" Li Qingjun's spear shot out like a dragon, broke into the general's sword in front of him, and knocked the opponent off the city wall.

As soon as they were blocked by the first climbers, the enemy troops on the left and right swarmed up.

The silver spear is like dancing pear blossoms, bringing out a bloody light in the flying snow, which is beautiful and magnificent.

More than ten Western Wasteland soldiers fell onto the city wall.

Li Qingjun was covered in blood, and his eyes were stained by the enemy's blood, blocking his vision. She took a breath, wiped the blood from the corner of her eyes, and looked at the feet in front of her. There were layers of corpses with broken arms, and there were piles of bones under the city wall.

And the enemies are all over the mountains and plains, and they can't even see the end.

This is the Hengshan County that Qin Yi and the others passed by to see the hanging list when they came out of the mountain. It is only a day's horse ride away from the capital city of Lihuo, and it is the last barrier to the west of Lihuo City.

Li Qingjun has been here for three days and three nights, and the blood has already dyed the light armor red.

Xihuang broke into the invaders just a few days after Li Qingjun wiped out the Donghua rebels. The attack shocked the government and the public. You can't blame Li Qingjun, even a veteran like Xie Yuan never thought that Xihuang would actually choose to launch a large-scale attack in such ice and snow, and he was caught off guard.

This is not common sense in the military. In this kind of ice and snow weather, it is extremely difficult to march and camp in the wild, and the chance of freezing to death is doubled. Moreover, during the siege, the city walls are slippery and ice is everywhere, which is extremely disadvantageous to the attackers. It's okay to fight a small-scale war in this season, but it's amazing to raise an army nationwide.

The most important thing is that there was no alarm at the border, and we didn’t even see the smoke...

Of course, there is no other reason, just because the border general has surrendered to the enemy, and the big checkpoint allows the enemy to enter.

Li Qingjun felt very sad.

She has been involved in politics for a long time, so she naturally knows the situation very well. Nanli had been tormented by his father and Donghuazi for many years and had become extremely ill. Not only was he in arrears with his salary, but people from the Western Wilderness were also placed in the frontier army. It was not difficult to understand that the general would be instigated to rebel. I originally expected Li Qinglin to bring order to the chaos and manage things quickly, but Li Qinglin...

It cannot be said that Li Qinglin did not do anything. He did make some progress, but it was not enough.

Some of the things he did could only be regarded as a decent king in ordinary years. If he could barely be praised as a wise king in peacetime, this was far from people's expectations of him, his former heroic ambitions, and his original nature. The performance gap is really too big.

In fact, he did not do as many serious things as Li Qingjun. Most of the time, Li Qinglin was just practicing Taoism. This made Li Qingjun want to forcefully convince himself. Even though his brother was aging and losing energy, he couldn't.

Li Qingjun himself was inexperienced and lacking in ability. He was unable to make a comeback in such a short period of time. Before he had time to take charge of the frontier troops, Xihuang had already marched straight into the cold winter season.

Nanli is too small. As soon as the border defenses were opened, the enemy troops had already reached Hengshan County within a few days. Fortunately, Li Qinglin reacted quickly at this time. He immediately sent veteran general Xie Yuan to lead an elite force to rush to Hengshan County, and then blocked the Xihuang army outside Hengshan County, preventing the enemy from directly approaching the capital.

Li Qinglin quickly ordered Li Qingjun to rectify the army and rush to Hengshan County to rush for reinforcements. Only then did the stalemate finally come to an end.

These two orders proved that Li Qinglin was not completely unconscious, but how long could he keep it like this?

The reason why the enemy invaded in this winter soon became clear. They had several wizards, and together they were able to dry out the city wall. This offset a lot of the disadvantages of attacking the city in the ice and snow.

They didn't have this ability in the past, and they don't know if they have secretly figured out some new techniques over the years, or if it is due to Dong Huazi's contribution.

The enemy has been planning for many years, has heavily prepared its troops, and is preparing for various battles. This time, the whole country has been mobilized, and the army is spread all over the mountains and plains.

And what about your own side?

The two kings practiced Taoism, the treasury was empty, the government was corrupt, the army had no fighting spirit, and even the people were indifferent, without any united enthusiasm to resist.

As soon as the border troops are lost, Nanli's most elite combat forces are already here. If she, Li Qingjun, cannot hold on, Nanli will be destroyed!

In the middle of the city, the Prince of Xihuang looked up to the sky and smiled: "Why should Princess Zhaoyang support her so hard? My love for the princess has never changed. If the princess opens the city gate, I will make her his queen and leave Nanli from now on." We are also the people of this prince. Wouldn’t it be a good story if the two countries merge and govern together?”

Without saying a word, Li Qingjun opened his bow and nocked an arrow. With a "swish" sound, the arrow was like a shooting star. The strong energy of the arrow knocked over all the soldiers in the battle.

Mang Zhan lowered his face and sneered: "Do you really think you can hold it? This Hengshan County has not prepared for war, and it is not a complete defense line at all. I have already sent a general to take a detour and attack Lihuo City. By then, This Hengshan County is an isolated city, even if you want to be a slave, you can't do it!"

Li Qingjun pursed her lips tightly. Veteran Xie Yuan had already told her about this possibility, but there was nothing she could do. The opponent's military strength is far beyond that, so they can take the initiative.

We can only hope that Brother Wang can cheer up and eliminate all the enemy troops that are attacking in a detour at the foot of Lihuo City.

Mang Zhan knew what she was thinking and said with a smile: "I know that although Li Qinglin is unconscious, he is not a fool and is not easy to dismiss. Therefore, this army rushing to attack Lihuo is the most elite bloody fighting army in our country. It is led by General Commander Mang You, the troops accompanying the army are all famous generals. If they were here, I am afraid that you, Princess Zhaoyang, would not be so relaxed. How about this, is this king very compassionate? Hahaha..."

Li Qingjun finally changed his expression.

No wonder we haven't encountered a truly powerful enemy general in the past three days. The enemy is mainly besieging them. It turns out that the real elites are not here.

It would be nice to be here, since he is leading the most elite army in Nanli. They may not be able to defeat the city if it is firmly defended. It is difficult for the opponent to set up camp in this cold winter season. If we delay for a few days, we can still hope to bring down the opponent. But the remaining troops in Lihuo City are far less elite. Coupled with my brother's current state, can they really compete with the most powerful soldiers and generals led by the famous commander in the West Wilderness?

For a moment, Li Qingjun even regretted it. It would have been better to give up this line of defense and live and die with Li Huo... Was his brother's seemingly decisive order wrong?

Mang Zhan said no more and waved his right hand.

The horn sounded, and another wave of attacks surged towards the city gate.

This is to put pressure on yourself so that you can't rush to rescue Li Huo. Li Qingjun felt tired as he looked at the enemy troops all over the mountains and plains.

Qin Yi's figure appeared in his heart.

Are you still looking for the solution to the curse...

You originally made an appointment within half a year, but maybe you never thought that Nanli couldn't even last two months.
