After hearing what Yu Jiaolong said, Sun Donglai opened his mouth, wanting to say something but didn't know how to start. He could only turn his gaze to the sand table, but he still couldn't stop worrying in his heart.
"I hope it's as your Highness said."
As the days go by, the situation on the sand table continues to change.
The Chu army deployed 200,000 troops to attack multiple locations, and counties and prefectures were easily captured, while the main force of 400,000 troops headed straight for Jinling Prefecture.
Every day Sun Donglai would come to check the changes in the sand table, and he became more and more anxious.
Fast, too fast. Jiangzhou was completely undefended, allowing the Chu army to occupy it at an unparalleled speed.
On the 21st day, all prefectures and counties in Jiangzhou were captured, and the Chu army encountered no resistance.
After the headquarters' 400,000-strong army captured Jinling, they marched non-stop towards Lingzhou.
Watching the enemy army approaching Feng'an little by little, Sun Donglai's heart became more and more tense. He was only slightly relieved when the 200,000 troops from Wuzhou finally arrived in Feng'an a few days ago.
Three days later, when they were only fifty miles away from Feng'an, the King of Chu's army finally stopped and set up camp on the spot.
'Stopped?'
Sun Donglai was also stunned by the fact that the Chu army did not directly attack the city.
Fifty miles away from Feng'an County.
It was June, and the summer was scorching.
On the plain, flags were waving, and wooden fences formed a camp that stretched as far as the eye could see. Cavalry and infantry were patrolling back and forth, baggage was piled up like a mountain, and every brave soldier was wearing armor and ready for battle.
In front of the village gate, the fatal man stood with his hands behind his back, and Ren Xuan and Chu Tianya followed behind him.
But when he looked towards Feng'an City, his expression was indescribably solemn.
Chu Tianya couldn't help but ask, "Senior Duoming, why did you stop suddenly? Could it be that the defenders of Feng'an City can still compete with us?"
Ren Xuan also had a puzzled look on his face. It was the fatal man who suddenly ordered the army to set up camp on the spot.
The fatal man said solemnly: "In Feng'an City, there are two Zhenwu masters, one of whom is a fellow Taoist!"
Ren Xuan and Chu Tianya's faces changed slightly. According to their intelligence, the only Zhenwu in the Prince of Yue's Mansion were Fang Xun and Bai Qingmeng.
Fang Xun is currently in Hongfengkou and it is impossible for him to appear in Feng'an City. At most, there will be only Bai Qingmeng in charge of the front line.
But there are two Zhenwu fifty miles away. Who is the extra one? Is he a sorcerer of divination?
The fatal man was looking quietly into the distance, while on the top of Feng'an City, Yuan Tiangang was standing with his hands behind his back, also looking over here.
Both of them sensed each other's presence, and neither of them acted rashly.
The fatal man frowned slightly, and the unexpected appearance of Yuan Tiangang made him feel a little uneasy.
"I feel like something is wrong. Be cautious and be ready to evacuate at any time!"
Ren Xuan and Chu Tianya's faces grimly said, and after giving some instructions, the fatal man took out a black jade pendant and injected a trace of true energy into it.
In an instant, the red wind outlet was thirty miles away.
The scenery is picturesque and the place is quiet and pleasant.
There were endless tents hidden in the woods, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell that it was a large army camping.
In one of the heavily guarded tents, Xing Shanlie, King Liang, Wan Tianyang, Changshengzi and the three Zhenwu from Miaojiang, a total of seven people, sat in a circle and discussed something.
At this moment, Xing Shanlie's face suddenly froze, and he immediately took out a black jade pendant from his body. Soon he received the news from the murderer, which made him frown.
"Miao King, what's wrong?"
When King Liang saw his expression change, he immediately asked, and the others also asked. Xing Shanlie frowned and looked at Wan Tianyang: "Haven't you figured out the background of the Prince of Yue's Mansion a long time ago? How come there is another Tianji master of the Zhenwu Realm in Lingzhou, and it's not anyone we know!"
Wan Tianyang was stunned: "How is this possible?"
There are only a limited number of people in the world who can reach the Zhenwu realm, and the secrets of the Zhenwu realm are even rarer. When one suddenly appeared, not only he, but everyone else was extremely surprised.
Xing Shanlie still frowned, "I also think it's a bit ridiculous, but Duo Mingxian is only fifty miles away from the Yue King's camp. He saw it with his own eyes!"
Wan Tianyang's face suddenly darkened: "This is really well hidden. A Zhenwu land immortal is willing to be hidden. If it weren't for the pressure from our army this time, I don't know when he would show up!"
At this time, Changshengzi looked at Xing Shanlie and asked indifferently: "There is a variable in Lingzhou. Could there be an accident in Hongfengkou as well?"
Xing Shanlie said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, there won't be any changes. In Hongfengkou, besides Fang Xun, there are only four Zhenwu masters, Xiao Qirong, Qiao Zhengyang, Tan Chongtian, and Liu Zhengwu. It's impossible to hide it from our eyes!"
King Liang on the side said again: "Then let's start right away. As long as Fang Xun is eliminated, one more Zhenwu Realm Tianji will not help us!"
Xing Shanlie nodded, and the seven people stopped talking and slowly walked out of the tent.
In an instant, the army hidden in the mountains and forests also moved. Although their footsteps were light, the rustling sounds were endless.
The high priest of the Witchcraft Temple stabbed the ground with the snake-head staff in his hand, and a black and purple mist immediately spewed out from the snake head.
In a flash, the clouds covered the sky and blocked out the sun. The big trees withered quickly the moment they were covered by the clouds, and in a short while they were rotten and riddled with holes.
The dead leaves also began to roll wildly, and all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants came out, and under the cover of the black and purple poison, they rushed towards the red wind outlet frantically.
However, none of the warriors of the Miaojiang royal court suffered any harm in the black and purple mist.
Thirty miles away, Bai Qingmeng, who was practicing meditation in the room, seemed to realize something. His eyes suddenly became clear and his figure disappeared in the room in an instant.
Not only him, but Fang Xun and his five companions also noticed the movement of the army marching thirty miles away.
"Is it finally here?"
In an instant, the defenders of Hongfengkou also started to move. Teams of soldiers rushed to the top of the city wall and looked into the distance nervously.
Time passed minute by minute, and in less than a quarter of an hour, black and purple clouds were seen pouring out of the dense forest in the distance like a tide, making the soldiers on the city wall feel nervous.
Countless snakes, insects, rats and ants on the earth rushed towards the Red Wind Outlet. Venomous snakes, spiders, centipedes and all kinds of poisonous creatures were densely packed, twisting and wriggling, giving many soldiers goose bumps.
But no one fled. They just held their weapons tightly and waited quietly. They all believed that their general would take action.
Soon, someone did take action, but it was not Liu Zhengwu, but Fang Xun.
A flash of black and white spread out in the city, and suddenly it expanded to a radius of ten miles, making the sky and the earth pale in comparison.
In an instant, the black and purple mist was melted by an invisible force, and the bodies of the poisonous creatures suddenly stiffened, their bellies facing up, and their corpses quickly rotted.
All the soldiers on the city wall felt their eyes blurred, and only black and white were left in their sight.
Another figure appeared in the sky three miles away. It was Fang Xun.
He looked towards the dense forest in the distance and said calmly: "Xing Shanlie, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Today is the day you die!"
"My death date? You should worry about your own life!"
As the words fell, a figure rose into the sky from the dense forest.
Xing Shanlie's body was full of muscles, and he held the Disha Axe in his hand, and he chopped at Fang Xun on the head with the axe.
Fang Xun did not dodge or evade, but slowly stretched out his dark palm, and grabbed the axe blade when the opponent was about to hit him!
