After the Xia Kingdom's national defense formation was launched, the war entered a new stalemate stage.

What will follow will be a confrontation between Qi and Xia around various supporting points of the national defense formation, and it will be an all-out war that will inevitably spread across the vast territory of Daxia.

As for this, there are probably not many people on the entire Qixia battlefield who can predict this in advance.

Chongxuan Sheng is one of them.

The "opportunity" he mentioned is also here!

As soon as the flag officer who conveyed the commander's military orders left, he chose his position and led the victorious battalion straight to Linwu Prefecture - occupying a position in the Qiu Kill Army's two ten thousand troops who attacked each prefecture separately, and faced off against Chongxuan Sheng

It's really not difficult.

If Chongxuan Chu Liang refuses to agree even to this, then he will not let Chongxuansheng and Chongxuanzun compete fairly, but will help Chongxuanzun hold him down.

The general who attacked Linwu Mansion in Qiu, with an army of 10,000 men, was not dissatisfied when he only received 7,000 men. If Chu Liang, Chongxuan, had not refused, these 7,000 men would have returned to Chongxuan!

In short, holding high the dazzling "Victory is in sight" flag, Zhongxuan Sheng marched non-stop.

From the western suburbs of Linzi to Tongyang City, there was no stage for him. He had been holding back for too long and waiting for too long.

In this kind of full-scale invasion war, the vanguard battalion led by Chongxuan Zun certainly has enough freedom, which is when his army is galloping. In terms of force, Chongxuan Zun bravely ranks first among the three armies, and in terms of military strategy, Chongxuan Zun

Absolutely not bad at following.

But Zhongxuan Sheng has been determined——

It is at this stage that we must recover from our disadvantages!

He wanted to teach Chongxuanzun a lesson and let him know that fighting is not about relying on muscles alone!

…

…

When Sijiao stood back at the tower of Tongyang City, the ministers gathered and no one spoke.

In the glow of the national defense formation, only the nine resurrected Lihuo dragons were still roaring. As if they were really spiritual, they were venting the pain of being defeated first.

He pressed it casually and stopped it.

The Zhenglong of Ziji!

Sijiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It cannot be said that the civil and military forces of Daxia did not work hard.

Even though Jianfeng Mountain was defeated in one day and Fengjie Mansion changed its flag in three days, they still established the Jiulong Lihuo Formation in time and used it as the center to build a northeastern defense line intended to defend against the enemy outside Xiangyou Mansion.

The price is that many people from the Ministry of Industry died alive! There are several formation masters in the Tai family who have obviously exhausted all their resources. In order to complete their share of the progress, they did not hesitate to sacrifice their blood...

Long Jiao even led the Zhenguo Army and had a head-on cavalry confrontation with the Qi Zhufeng Army!

More than half of his troops were killed in the battle, but his army was not defeated. He successfully brought the remaining troops back to Tongyang City.

Although the Zhufeng Army still had the advantage, even though the Zhenguo Army suffered heavy casualties.

But this battle can at least show that the Xia army can fight with the Qi army, and even fight in the field!

The people of Qi are not incapable of dying in battle, nor are they invincible.

But this line of defense was still defeated...

Shortly after the Zhenguo army entered the city.

It was hard for Sijiao to imagine the mood of those soldiers.

Through the "journey", the country can travel thousands of miles, and attack the south from the east. These incredible methods can only be used by a country that has the status of hegemon.

He was actually secretly frightened!

More than 50,000 soldiers of the Xia army died vigorously in battle. Can they hold up the defense line in the hearts of the Xia people?

Sijiao himself was not sure!

Even if you have made enough preparations and put in enough efforts, you can only be sure of yourself. The most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart...

But this emotion was shattered by him before he could even get to know each other in the future.

He stood at the top of the city, watching the millions of Qi troops disperse in an orderly manner, and feeling Cao Jiu's commanding art.

Still majestic and calm.

He turned around and looked at the remnants of the Zhengguo army in Tongyang City, under the tall towers, who still didn't leave their horses, didn't disarm, didn't let go of their swords, and whose battle flags were like blood stains.

These soldiers are still waiting for military orders and are willing to face the next charge.

"The soldiers fought well in this battle, showing the bloody bravery of our Daxia soldiers!" Si Jiao said loudly: "Let the Qi thieves know that our Xia people have the ambition to defend the country and the heart to protect the soil!"

As a warrior king, he bowed deeply to these soldiers.

To most people in the Xia Kingdom, King Wu Sijiao was almost a god-like existence. There were few soldiers present who were not frightened by King Wu's gift.

But without Long Jiao's order, no one made any move.

At this moment, the military uniforms and battle flags can determine their will. They stand on their horses, hold their swords, and just wait for the military order to fall. They charge or die.

able!

Sijiao answered himself in his heart.

Answered the previous uncertain question.

With such soldiers and people, how could Xia be unable to hold on and save the country?

Si Jiao straightened up and continued: "I won't tell you lies. Everyone in this battle will have twice as many merits. All those who died in the battle will be generously subsidized. If there are orphans or widows at home, the state will support them. The Ministry of Household Affairs must keep records, and no one can be left out."

, If there is any shortage after the war, I will spend all my money to make up for it! If it is still not enough, I will die and fight abroad, and fight behind the gate of all monsters. I am willing to use the true king's ten years, one hundred years, until it is paid off! Dragon

General, please pass this order so that our Daxia soldiers will not have any worries!"

Long Jiao was sitting on the war horse. He just took off his helmet, buckled it on his chest, and bowed his head as if he was obeying the order.

In the huge Tongyang City, there is no sound above the towers and no sound below the towers.

Only the wind blows the battle flag!

"In this battle, Qi's most elite Zhufeng Army suffered tens of thousands of casualties. This is your merit. History will remember you, Xia will remember you... and this is just the beginning!"

Si Jiao raised his voice: "We and the enemy are all made of flesh and blood. They will all be injured and die! Every soldier and every Dao Yuan Stone in Qi State has to travel thousands of miles. But for us, the country is under our feet, and we are on the battlefield when we go out.

, behind us is our hometown. With hundreds of millions of people filling his millions of troops, there is no suspense! Even if we carry them on our shoulders, or tear them apart with our teeth and claws, soldiers, we will definitely be able to drive away all the thieves and restore Fengjie!"

"Drive away the thieves and restore Fengjie!!!"

The soldiers roared excitedly!

This angry sound spread throughout the city, causing waves of noise.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The military camp where the Shenwu Army was stationed in the city also beat the war drums, and the sky was bright for a while.

"Soldiers!" Sijiao stretched out his hand to calm the surge and said, "Go and rest now. The formation to protect the country has been launched. Tongyang City is impregnable. Everyone can rest in peace!"

Long Jiao then turned his horse's head and led his troops to the camp.

Sijiao watched the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army retreating away, then turned around and said to the civil and military officials on the city gate: "Since the National Defense Formation has been opened, don't close it. I, Da Xia, will work hard to conquer the Thirty-two

In the year, the national treasury is full and there are plenty of Yuanshi. But I don’t know how long the army of millions of thieves can fight fiercely for an expedition!"

Xi Meng's Mansion stood in a corner away from the crowd, looking at the Qi army in the distance, and was surprisingly silent.

During the war, once the national defense formation was activated with full efficiency, there was no reason to close it at will.

Especially now that the Qi army has invaded in an all-out way, with troops sent out in many directions, Xia State is no longer qualified to close the national defense formation.

Of course, "don't shut it down" and "can't shut it down" are indeed words that will actually affect morale.

Although the people here are all high-level people of the Xia Kingdom and clear-minded people, King Wu still pays attention to his words... Why should he pay attention to these details?

King Min on the tower remained silent.

King Wu was still talking about something, about the next deployment of defenses, which mansions needed to be defended, and which characters of the Qi army needed to focus on...

As he listened, Xi Meng's eyes drifted further and further away...

…

…

Outside Tongyang City, the Qi army's camp has been formally set up.

Low walls, antlers, arrow towers and crossbows... military formations one by one, supporting the temporary defense formation.

The military tents stretch out, almost like another city on the Jiangyin Plain.

Of course, no matter how large this temporary military camp looks, its defense cannot compare with Tongyang City.

However, the Qi army was not afraid of field battles at all, but they were eager for the Xia army to leave the city and attack the camp.

Night has come, and the huge hanging lamp illuminates this place like day.

Camps were also set up on the east bank of the Lianjiang River, which was still frozen.
