Chapter 434 The Danger of Tianren County
Tianren County, Hengyuan City.
Hengyuan City is a city that was originally very important in Shu County, but it has been idle all year round. Hengyuan City is located on the big lonely peak, and the whole big lonely peak is hundreds of feet high. Even the virtual spiritual monks will be very hard to forcibly cross this peak, not to mention the low-level monks.
Dagufeng is not only extremely high, but also stretches for a long time. If you look down in mid-air, you can see that a Dagufeng almost forms a natural barrier, blocking all the smooth routes from Pingyuan County to Shu County. If the monks of Pingyuan County want to enter the hinterland of Shu County, they need to pass through the obstruction of Dagufeng. Otherwise, you can only take a detour.
Hengyuan City is the only slightly lower place on Dagu Peak. This is not so much a city as a dangerous pass built in Dagu Peak. Although the terrain where Hengyuan City is located is also dozens of miles long, because there are mountains with big lonely peaks almost towering into the clouds on both sides, sometimes looking up in Hengyuan City will make people mistakenly think that they are in a canyon with a glimmer of sky.
The place where Hengyuan City is located is indeed very amazing. According to the direction of Dagu Peak, such a strange terrain should not appear at all. Therefore, according to the legend of the locals, the place where Hengyuan City is located was originally a battlefield of the two immortals. In the war, an immortal cut off Dagu with a sword. Peak, that's why the terrain in the peak where Hengyuan City is located appeared.
The legend about Hengyuan City is basically like this, but the reason why such a dangerous pass has always been idle before is that it is not the original border between Shu County and Pingyuan County. When the King of Shu was expanding his battle, he sent a large number of Shu troops to brazenly kill out of Hengyuan City, directly seized the plain area in the plain county, and forcibly pushed the border line of Shu County hundreds of miles forward. After that, in decades of tug-of-war, the Shu army narrowly won. Although the prince of Pingyuan County was unwilling, he was also I can only accept my fate and lose those lands.
The result is that such a dangerous city as Hengyuan City has lost its meaning and has been idle for a hundred years. However, in this war in which Pingyuan County sent troops to attack Tianren County, because Tianren County was facing a huge crisis of human shortage, Guo Yunshan and others could only give up a large number of plain areas outside Dagu Peak in the end, and gathered all the Jinzhu army monks scattered in the periphery to Hengyuan City to avoid being monks of Pingyuan County. Break the danger one by one.
After all, when attacking Shu County, the method taken by the Jinzhu army was to defeat them one by one, and the king of Shu also lost the wrong idea that he was reluctant to give up every city. In this way, although Guo Yunshan and others had a much weaker momentum at the beginning of the war and seemed to be afraid of Pingyuan County, at least after losing face, they still kept the chance of a decisive battle. At least today, 150,000 monks have gathered in Hengyuan City, sitting in the dangerous pass of Hengyuan City. In the face of the 200,000 plain county army, they still have a chance to find a breakthrough on the battlefield of this decisive battle.
In Hengyuan City, Zhao Lingrui has also appeared on the top of the city. Now every monk is very precious to Tianren County. After all, Zhao Lingrui is a virtual spiritual monk and can also exert some strength when helping to defend the city.
There are 150,000 monks in Hengyuan City, most of which are due to the Longting Army. Today, there are only more than 200,000 troops that can be used in Tianren County. Only half of the 150,000 defenders here are monks of the Jinzhu Army, and nearly 80,000 monks are allyong jun monks hired by the Longting army at a high price. This time, the Longting army can make a lot of money, but many times Lingshi really can't do everything. Things, such as this war.
With the strong financial resources of the Longting Army and the momentum of Tianren County in the Central Plains, it has barely recruited more than 100,000 monks, but it is necessary to divide the recruited mercenary monks into two, because Changyun Road also needs a large number of defenders, and even the defensive pressure in Changyun Road is many times greater than that of Hengyuan City. After all, there is no such dangerous pass between Changyun Road and Lanhai County. What they can do is to disrupt the whole Changyun Road again, and then the mysterious real ghost commander leads more than 100,000 Jinzhu army monks to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall on the chaotic battlefield of Changyun Road.
In fact, by now, the eyes of the whole Central Plains have turned to Tianren County, but the performance of the Jinzhu Army in Tianren County can really be said to have disappointed many people. The momentum of the Jinzhu Army when attacking the Shu army has completely disappeared, and now it feels like they are surviving. , not only did it not have any highlights, but even many practices that can be said to be active weakness have been made at the beginning of the war.
In order to set up a defense line in Hengyuan City, it is enough to voluntarily give up a large area of territory, but compared with Changyun Road, the territory abandoned on Shu Road is much better, because the strategy of the Jinzhu Army on Changyun Road basically belongs to the practice of half giving up Changyun Road and is not set up in any city. Defense, Lanhai County monks retreat as long as they attack them. They never fight decisively in cities or plains, but only fight in ambush in the deep mountains or jungle. Although the battle was carefully calculated, in such a war, Changyun Road, which had just been settled, was completely destroyed. Many of the businesses that Longting Army had just opened in Changyun Road could not even be transferred, and could only be destroyed or simply put into the bag by the monks of Lanhai County.
With such a huge loss, the results of the war on Changyun Road are really not enough. What if you give up the whole Changyun Road and win the war of several sneak attacks? Up to now, many Central Plains monks who were very optimistic about Tianren County at the beginning of the war have finally begun to waver.
The discussion in Longdu's teahouse has also changed from the initial one side to the current debate. Although Tianren County has shown such an active weakness and is constantly making concessions, in the final analysis, whether it is Shu Road or Changyun Road, in fact, the monks of Pingyuan County and Lanhai County have not been completely occupied. The Central Plains monks who really support Tianren County are still very optimistic about the Jinzhu Army. They think this is the strategy of the Jinzhu Army and believe the reason why their troops are so small.
However, those monks who oppose Tianren County or have made up their minds to see Tianren County jokes are not optimistic about Tianren County at all. For Tianren County's active concessions, they think that the generals of the Jinzhu Army are already poor. The tactics of chaos have long been seen through, but still If you continue to use it, the result is a complete chaos of Changyun Road.
As for the situation they explained, it is an untenable excuse for opponents. What does it mean to fight two mons at the same time, so a large number of monks are sent out? Even if you fight in the Xuanjie, according to the calculation of time, it should be just the beginning now. At most, the situation has just opened. What's wrong with withdrawing troops at this time? Although all the nobles in the Central Plains yearn for the mysterious world, in the final analysis, the territory in the Central Plains will always be the top priority. If Lian Lao If you lose your home, what's the use of occupying the mysterious world?
Moreover, opponents scoff at the statement that it costs a large number of monks who help to transfer frequently, which the supporters of Tianren County help explain. If there is no Longting Army to participate in the war, the sudden rise of Tianren County may not be enough spiritual stone. After all, the emerging aristocracy is insufficient. Everyone can have the question, but the richness of the Longting Army is also known by all the Central Plains aristocrats. The Longting Army is willing to take out tens of millions of top-quality Lingshi mercenary monks to help Tianren County defend the city. Besides, if they don't have Lingshi to send back the expeditionary army, isn't it too pale and powerless?
Today, although Tianren County still has a lot of crowds in the Central Plains with its previous brilliant achievements, it is only a crowd after all, and most of the nobles who like Tianren County are also nobles in Longdu. Their foundation is basically in the mysterious world, so Li Mingyang's strong rise in the Central Plains will not There are too many threats to them. But these people will not be allies of Tianren County because they like it, so they will not really help Tianren County.
On the contrary, all the realist nobles in the Central Plains are now secretive to Li Mingyang. After all, for such a war maniac who likes to fight everywhere, everyone hopes that he will die immediately. After all, no one can guarantee that Li Mingyang's butcher knife will not suddenly reach their neck one day.
In this situation, it is already benevolence for many Central Plains nobles not to follow the well at this time. If it hadn't been for the desperate participation of the Longting Army in the war, Tianren County would have only looked more miserable now. After all, isolation and helplessness is often more humiliating than defeat in many times, which means diplomatic policy. A slight extreme failure.
In Hengyuan City, after another fierce battle, looking at the plain county monks retreating like a tide, the people in Hengyuan City finally breathed a sigh of relief. It's too difficult to fight. This battle is really too difficult. Everyone is nervous and fighting a war of attrition. Everyone is guessing whether Tianren County still has a backhand, and all the monks of Pingyuan County dare not really fight fiercely.
But only Guo Yunshan and the real decision makers in Tianren County now know how bad the situation is. The Tianyuan boundary and Fengtai boundary are hard to open. Compared with the situation in the Central Plains, they prefer the stability of the Tianyuan boundary and Fengtai boundary. As long as you can hold the two mysterious worlds firmly in your hands, it is not a delusional even if you want to fight back in the future.
Looking at the endless enemy outside the city and the exhausted defenders in the city, Guo Yunshan suddenly thought of the disappeared Yuan Wuwang and couldn't help muttering, "Is Tianren County really going to be so short-lived?"
