Chapter 50: Fighting Pingxihou(1/2)
"Sister, where have you been?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Wudao couldn't help but feel dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
"His Royal Highness."
Tang Yuanwu's voice came, but he didn't know when he arrived here. At this time, he rushed forward and supported Yue Wudao from behind.
"Yuan Wu." Yue Wudao looked at him gratefully.
"Your Highness, your injury has not healed yet. You should cultivate yourself. The entire Northern Territory needs you."
Yue Wudao looked at his withered hands and the pale hair hanging down to his shoulders, and smiled bitterly in his heart.
The current condition of my body cannot be recovered in ten days and a half.
"I'm fine."
He tried hard to keep himself standing there without letting Tang Yuanwu continue to support him.
The Northern Territory does still need him. No matter what happens now, he needs to work hard to stand.
"Is there any news from the royal family?" Yue Wudao asked.
Tang Yuanwu replied: "Your Majesty, the spies have been sent out a long time ago, but there is no news yet."
"No news?"
Indeed, the spies have only been sent out for a short period of time, and even Luo Feng and the others have not received any news yet.
Yue Wudao returned to his room to practice. He wanted to restore his cultivation to its best state before the royal army arrived.
Two days later, Luo Feng finally arrived and brought news about the royal family.
"The royal family has mobilized powerful men including the Marquis of Pingxi, the Marquis of Jiangnan, the Southwest King, and the Mo family, the Huo family, the Lin family, and other powerful families in the capital, to march towards the Northern Territory."
"How many people are there?" Yue Wudao asked.
"Eight million." Luo Feng said with an ugly expression.
When Yue Wudao heard this, he immediately sneered.
"This emperor actually mobilized more than 80% of the royal family's power to deal with me. He really thinks highly of me."
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Luo Feng asked.
Yue Wudao sneered while deep in thought.
"Proceed as planned."
The junction between the northern and central regions of Fufeng Kingdom is Yulu City in Qingcang Prefecture. He has sent General Lin Deyao to lead an army of 500,000 Sky Tigers to guard Yulu City.
When Yue Wudao led Tang Yuanwu, Luo Feng and Xiao Wenshan out of Yue Mansion, he couldn't help but turn around and look at the place that had raised him for more than ten years.
Everyone in the Yue Mansion appeared at the door and looked at him.
"Don't worry, as long as I, Yue Wudao, am here, Yue Mansion and Beiyu will not cross."
Then Yue Wudao turned around and never looked at this place again.
"Your Majesty, you must come back."
The four people in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter looked at Yue Wudao's leaving figure with tears in their eyes and shouted.
They wanted to leave with Yue Wudao, but Yue Wudao did not agree because he knew the danger of the battle with the royal family.
The royal family dispatched eight million troops, but now the Northern Territory only has 50,000 troops available.
The outcome is unpredictable.
Even with the addition of the Blood Dragon Army, it would be extremely difficult to win.
That's why he didn't take them with him.
Yue Wudao listened to their shouts behind him and said without looking back: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back."
His back quickly disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Yue Wudao led Xiao Wenshan and others southward and passed through Xinfeng Prefecture. General Wei Junba was already stationed here. When he saw his arrival, he bowed deeply.
"Wei Junba, the commander of the Heaven-Destroying Army, has met with His Highness the Crown Prince."
"General Wei, there is no need to be polite."
"Your Highness, our army has been deployed here in full accordance with your instructions. However, I heard that the army sent by the royal family this time included eight million people, and His Highness dispersed the Northern Territory troops this time.
Come, but it seems more difficult to face the enemy. I wonder if His Highness has any other plans?"
Wei Junba looked deeply at Yue Wudao, as if he wanted to know what Yue Wudao was thinking.
Yue Wudao didn't know what he was thinking. There were two million troops in the Northern Territory. Excluding the Dingbei Army guarding Beihuang City, there were only 1.5 million.
Now these 1.5 million people are scattered in three places: Yulu City in Qingcang Prefecture, Pinghe City in Ningzhang Prefecture, and Guning City in Xinfeng Prefecture. Each place is hundreds of miles apart. Yulu City in Qingcang Prefecture is guarding the front.
There are only half a million people in the city.
Facing the royal family's eight million army, there is indeed a risk of being dispersed and defeated.
However, from Yue Wudao's point of view, what Wei Junba didn't know was that the royal family's eight million troops did not arrive all at once. Yue Wudao, who had Skynet intelligence information, already knew this very well.
Wei Junba said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has indeed thought carefully. In the end, I will defend the Northern Territory to the death."
Yue Wudao nodded, then set off and continued southward. When passing through Pinghe City in Ningzhang Prefecture, he had the same conversation with General Shang Xingyuan of the Longteng Army guarding Pinghe City, and then continued southward to Guning City in Qingcang Prefecture.
Guard General Lin Deyao paid homage to Yue Wudao, and Yue Wudao came directly to the gate of Guning City.
Yue Wudao walked past a Heavenly Destroying Army member who was wearing armor and fully armed with stern eyes. He looked towards the south and saw a vast plain.
A sunset hung in the sky, its fiery red face looking at Guning City in the northern region.
Yue Wudao squinted and looked into the distance. Figures in golden armor appeared wherever he could see.
Boom boom——
The earth trembled, and wild sand swept up into the sky, forming several tornadoes and heading towards Guning City.
"coming."
Lin Deyao looked solemn and held the spear tightly in his hand.
"The Heavenly Destroying Army is ready!"
With the rapid footsteps and the sound of armor, thousands of crossbowmen came to the city wall. The powerful crossbows being drawn and the sound of the bow strings being tightened seemed to ignite the fighting blood in everyone's hearts.
"Let them see the power of my Northern Territory Heaven-Destroying Army!" Lin Deyao's voice was cold and he looked at the enemy with cold eyes.
Yellow sand rushed towards us, and two miles outside Guning City, millions of troops appeared, each with golden armor, and they were powerful.
Soon, three war horses rushed out from it and arrived at a distance of 500 meters from Guning City. The soldiers on the horses shouted to the city: "Listen to the rebels in the northern region, quickly open the door and surrender, otherwise, our Pingxi Hou Jinjia Army will crush them."
This is Guning City."
"Hmph, you are so arrogant, watch my arrow coming!"
Lin Deyao snorted coldly, and two soldiers behind him raised a long bow.
I saw him take it and pull it hard, and the long bow creaked.
"collapse!"
In the blink of an eye, a sharp arrow hit the soldier who had just spoken below the city, killing him on the spot. The other two Pingxihou soldiers looked horrified and fled on horseback.
"Want to escape? Now that you're here, just stay."
Lin Deyao snorted coldly, drew his bow again and shot an arrow. The sharp sound of the arrow pierced the air, and he skewered the two people from behind.
"The people in the city are so bold. They dare to kill even my people, the Marquis of Pingxi!"
A figure flew up from the golden armored army and flew over, followed by five or six people.
"Ping Xihou?" Yue Wudao murmured.
He had never met Marquis Pingxi before, but listening to the voice, there was no doubt that the person coming was Marquis Pingxi.
"Those who kill you are just petty, so what if they kill you?"
Lin Deyao snorted coldly, beckoned and shot three arrows towards Ping Xihou.
But he saw Ping Xihou turning around in the air, and the sharp arrow flew past him.
Ping Xihou stopped, and five powerful men behind him came to him, looking at Lin Deyao, Yue Wudao and others with angry faces.
"You must be Lin Der Yao? Yue Tianfeng's most powerful general in archery." Ping Xihou looked at the silver longbow on Lin Der Yao's body and said.
"You're right, Zhao Zhengxin, are you here to die?"
Lin Deyao didn't have a good look towards the other party at all. Ping Xihou got angry after hearing this and pointed at him and scolded him: "The madmen in the Northern Territory are already on the verge of death and you are still talking harshly. Don't you know that Yue Tianfeng is dead and the Northern Territory is already dead?"
Now, I'll give you another chance, open the city gate and surrender, and I'll give you a decent way to die."
Lin Deyao looked at the other party and sneered: "Is the Northern Territory destroyed? Even if you Ping Xihou dies, the Northern Territory will not be destroyed, because soon another king will appear in the Northern Territory."
Lin Deyao's words moved Yue Wudao very much. Both Lin Deyao and other generals under Yue Tianfeng were always loyal to him.
