To the Xiao family, this sudden news was akin to the sky crashing down on them. Especially now, the Xiao family's 450,000 strong army was stationed outside. That was the Xiao family's most elite force, and also the foundation of their struggle for hegemony! Although the Southeast still had a military force that was not inferior to the Xiao family's, it was too scattered. Compared to the army that had been through hundreds of battles, it was naturally incomparable.
As for their strongest ally, Above Heavens, in order to coordinate with this expedition, they had also sent half of their elite forces outside. At this moment, they had completely lost their supply of rations and resources. The Xiao family's army, which was already surrounded by enemies, was now in an even more dire situation!
Could it be that the Xiao family's ancestor's words were true, "If the Xiao family wholeheartedly focuses on business, they can ensure that their foundation will not be lost for generations. But if their ambitions are inflated and they strive for hegemony, their entire family will die without a burial ground!"
When the Xiao family's head, Xiao FengHan, received this news, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted!
The heavens want me dead!
After a round of treatment, the Xiao family's head finally regained consciousness. In a crazed manner, he passed down an order: No matter what, no matter the price, we must clear the Blue Jade River in the shortest time possible!
Other than that, we must immediately form a fleet to reinforce them. At the very least, we must send our resources over. Otherwise, the army outside would be completely finished!
This idea was undoubtedly correct. But this was only a random method of seeking treatment. For a country that was completely made up of mountains and plains, the number of ships they had was naturally pitifully small. Besides, even if they could form a fleet, they would not be able to use it. Although the flood had already become a disaster, it was still a distance away from truly being able to sail on water. The water in the flood area was seven feet deep, and it was still rising. For a disaster, this was a terrifying number. But for a ship, even a small sailboat would not be able to float, not to mention a large warship that could transport tens or hundreds of people!
The members of the Xiao Family, who were on the verge of losing their wits, suddenly thought of the teachings of their ancestors in the face of this sudden calamity!
Everyone's heart was filled with a dark shadow. Could it be that the Xiao family's doomsday had really arrived just like that?
Of course, the Ling family was the complete opposite of the Xiao family's reaction!
When Meng Lige, who was in the Ling House's courtyard, received Ling Tian's plan, he immediately understood Ling Tian's intentions. Originally, even though Meng Lige had always believed in Ling Tian's abilities, he didn't believe that Ling Tian really had the means to overturn the storm and overturn the clouds. However, after another person who convinced Meng Lige, Miss Li Xue, repeatedly confirmed to him that Ling Tian had truly cut off the Blue Jade River, Meng Lige finally began to take action.
Not only did he strictly follow all of Ling Tian's plans, he even expanded Ling Tian's plan by more than a fold because of Miss Li's suggestion! As a strategist, Meng Lige was naturally more clear than anyone else about the potential of this matter. If Ling Tian was really able to cut off the Blue Jade River, it would definitely cause a huge commotion, and the Ling family would definitely reap huge benefits!
Thus, he immediately passed down the highest order in the Ling House. Apart from the hidden forces in the north and west, all of Ling Tian's hidden forces in the south and east were to be utilized by him. All of the gathered forces were to advance towards the east.
On Sky Bearing's side, apart from leaving behind a small number of guards to be commanded by Ling Chen, Meng Lige gathered another 100,000 men. He even gathered 10,000 men from the Violent Wind Gang and set off together with the army. With Meng Lige personally leading the troops and Li Xue's protection in secret, the army charged towards the southeast in a grandiose manner.
This time, Meng Lige intended to not only swallow up the 450,000 elite troops that Xiao FengYang brought out, but he also intended to include Eastern Zhao and Southern Zheng into his territory. He even intended to kill his way into the 3,000 miles of mountains and rivers that the Xiao family had occupied for 500 years!
Meng Lige's plan was even more radical than Ling Tian's!
The Ling House also passed down the highest order to Ling Xiao's army in the south. They had to take down Golden Jade City within five days. They believed that this wouldn't be a difficult task for Ling Xiao's army who had the absolute advantage. As long as they could take down Southern Zheng, they would be able to completely block the other army of the Xiao family outside of Southern Zheng. At the same time, they would be able to mobilize all of their forces to either poison, set fire, attack, or destroy the roads … In any case, they couldn't let the Xiao family rest. They had to destroy the military supplies of the Xiao family at all costs. As long as their supplies couldn't keep up, the morale of the army would definitely be affected and they would naturally collapse.
In fact, Meng Lige didn't know that his order was a little too late. Because at the same time that he gave the order, Ling Xiao's army had already taken down Golden Jade City and was facing off against the 150,000 troops of the Xiao family. The battle was on the verge of breaking out at any moment.
As for Shen RuHu's side, Meng Lige ordered him to change his attitude of watching and mobilize the entire army. They had to cooperate with DongFang JingLei and attack from all sides. They had to hold back the Eastern Zhao Imperial Family's army and the 150,000 troops of the Xiao family.
Meng Lige's plan was to prioritize everything. The first thing to do was to take down Xiao FengYang's army!
In this matter, everything else had to be set aside!
A day after the army set off, Meng Lige received good news from Ling Tian. The Blue Jade River had been successfully cut off and Ling Jian had rushed to Eastern Zhao to assist Shen RuHu. On the other side, Ling Xiao had already gone to Southern Zheng to assist Ling Xiao. As for Ling Tian, he had already retreated and was preparing to meet up with Ling Seventeen and Feng Mo to attack Xiao FengYang's back!
After receiving this news, Meng Lige became even more anxious.
The battle was tense and the opportunity was fleeting. He had to completely destroy Xiao FengYang's army before the Northern Wei Tamago received this shocking news. Only then would he be able to return to Sky Bearing and ensure that nothing would go wrong! Only in this way would he be able to swallow the fruits of victory in one gulp.
Meng LiGe gave another order to abandon all unnecessary supplies. Everyone was to move forward at full speed, carrying light equipment!
At the Sobbing Ghost Mountain Pass, more and more troops of the Ling family had gathered. Their banners were fluttering in the wind, indicating that these troops belonged to the Ling family.
Naturally, the peerless military strategist Xiao FengYang was in a state of complete disarray!
The news of the Blue Jade River being cut off was actually received by Xiao FengYang's side!
Previously, the Xiao Family members were only guessing, but they did not dare to inform Xiao FengYang of the result of their guess. They were afraid that the news might be wrong and cause chaos to the army's morale. By the time they finally confirmed the news and hurriedly sent out a messenger pigeon, a day and night had already passed!
At that time, Xiao FengYang was still waiting for Meng RuoYun to send him news of victory.
However, when the messenger pigeon really arrived, it was undoubtedly a blow to Xiao FengYang's head. Furthermore, it was a fatal blow! Xiao FengYang immediately vomited blood and fainted!
This could not be blamed on Xiao FengYang's mental fortitude. If it was anyone else, they would probably do the same.
With the Blue Jade River suddenly being cut off, the water started to flood and the Heavenly Water Ravine Pass was almost completely submerged. Xiao FengYang no longer had any path of retreat! The worst thing was that without any supplies, Xiao FengYang's army did not even have enough rations to last for half a month. It was as though they were in a hopeless situation where they would definitely lose.
If there was still a way out for Xiao FengYang's army, or rather, the only way out was to charge through the Sobbing Ghost Mountain Pass and enter the Ling family's territory to plunder and replenish their army!
However, at this moment, was it still too late?
It was already too late!
If Xiao FengYang had gathered all his troops and launched an attack without caring about the cost when Yu YanHai arrived, he might have been able to break through after paying a huge price. However, it was already too late now.
The daylily had already turned cold!
Because the Ling family's troops guarding the Sobbing Ghost Mountain Pass had already exceeded 50,000 men! Furthermore, this number was increasing by the day. It could be said that Xiao FengYang had already lost his best chance of survival.
Actually, this could not be blamed on Xiao FengYang. After all, he had the Heavenly Water Ravine Pass in his hands and could be said to have an endless supply of reinforcements. He could advance or retreat as he pleased and did not have to worry about the rear. Not only Xiao FengYang, any other commander in the continent would do the same! Who would have thought that there would actually be someone in this world who could destroy a mountain that had stood tall for thousands of years?
This was a pure miracle!
But right now, an inconceivable miracle had happened. The number one pass under the heavens had already turned into a body of water. The people inside could not leave, and the people outside could not enter. Xiao FengYang was currently leading his 150,000 troops and was in an extremely awkward situation.
A situation of certain death!
The despairing Xiao FengYang had gone crazy.
He had no choice but to go crazy. He was not willing to lose, nor was he willing to become a prisoner. He was even more unwilling to accept the 500 years of savings of the Xiao family being destroyed in his own hands. Under extreme despair, Xiao FengYang made the decision to cut off all means of retreat!
Perhaps, this was the only thing he could do!
Gather all his troops and attack the Sobbing Ghost Mountain Pass with all his might! Regardless of the cost, he had to fight his way out! That was the only way out, the only chance of survival. No matter how slim the hope was, it was still hope!
Thus, the smoke of war had yet to disperse, and the blood of the Sobbing Ghost Mountain Pass had yet to dry. After six days of war, the flames of war were once again ignited! This time, the attack and defense would be a hundred times more intense than the previous one!
Knowing that their path of retreat had been cut off, the soldiers of the Xiao family burst forth with absolute strength!
This kind of crazy charge caused even the number one defense expert in the world, Yu YanHai, to feel an extreme headache!
The soldiers of the Xiao family were completely unafraid of death. Even if they had to sacrifice a hundred lives to take a step or even half a step forward, the soldiers of the Xiao family would not hesitate to do so. They were truly unafraid of death to the extreme! They were even more ferocious than the soldiers of the Ling family who were guarding their own territory. When did the soldiers of the Xiao family all change their occupations to death warriors? Commander Yu was extremely puzzled.
Actually, Commander Yu YanHai was overthinking things. The main reason was that the soldiers of the Xiao Clan all knew that there was no way out. If they did not move, they would only starve to death. If they could not charge forward, they would only die. Only by charging through the Sobbing Ghost Mountain Pass would they have a sliver of a chance of survival. But it was only a sliver of a chance. In a situation where there was no chance of survival, almost everyone had the thought of killing one person to break even, and killing two to make a profit. That was why they were so crazy.
This was also the logic of a desperate soldier being bound to win!
However, it was precisely this kind of desperate soldier that gave the soldiers of the Ling family a huge and terrifying pressure! The number of casualties was also extremely serious. Wang Han and the rest of the Blood Iron Warriors who had stayed behind to guard the mountain pass had yet to recover from their injuries from the previous battle. Their bodies were also extremely weak. But in the end, in order to boost their morale, they were forced to pick up their swords and charge into the battlefield.
Both sides were engaged in a fierce battle. Every moment, there would be people falling down. Every minute, every second, there would be one or even three to five people turning into corpses. This time, Xiao FengHan had steeled his heart to break through the Sobbing Ghost Mountain Pass. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the battle at the mountain pass. As long as he saw that the situation was slightly unfavorable, he would wave the little red flag in his hand and a group of fresh troops would rush forward!
Human wave tactics, that's right, this was a human wave tactic! Even if he had to sacrifice the lives of his men, he would charge out of this path!
Xiao FengYang had already made up his mind. If he could not break through the Sobbing Ghost Mountain Pass, he would die either way. Then, he might as well fight to the death here!
The bloody battle had already lasted for an entire two days and one night!
Under Xiao FengYang's perverted command, the Xiao family's army was like the waves of the Yangtze River, charging forward without stopping. Yu YanHai's eyes were about to explode. His remaining 5,000 reserve troops were all thrown into the fray. But they were still unable to stop the attacks of the Xiao family!
The Sobbing Ghost Mountain Pass was about to be lost!
Even if Yu YanHai was an expert in defense, even if he was the best general in the world, he could not do anything without rice. He had no soldiers left to use, and his opponent was a complete lunatic. A lunatic who did not care about human lives at all. He really had no way to defend himself!
Yu YanHai sighed deeply and pulled out his sword with a 'shua' sound. His eyes were cold. Since things have come to this, let me live and die together with the Sobbing Ghost Mountain Pass! I, Yu YanHai, have led a group of troops from all over the world to block the Xiao family's army for eight days! And it's the Xiao family's elite troops personally led by the world's recognized military expert, Xiao FengYang!
I'm satisfied! The order given to me by the monastery was to block Xiao FengYang for six days. Now, it's already been eight days. What's there to be unsatisfied about?
Yu YanHai laughed self-deprecatingly as he raised his sword and whipped the horse with his left hand.
As long as the whip was whipped, the horse would definitely charge into the battlefield without any hesitation. With Yu YanHai's weak body and weak martial arts, he would probably turn into minced meat in the next moment.
"Commander! Look! "The personal guard beside him pulled on the reins and pointed in a direction, his face filled with ecstasy. "That's our main force! That's our main force! They're finally here! "
In the direction that the personal guard was pointing at, countless blood-red flags fluttered in the wind, like the rosy clouds in the sky, covering the sky and hiding the earth! The majestic and orderly sound of horse hooves could be heard, as if it could topple the mountains and overturn the seas!
The first commander's flag stood tall, fluttering in the wind. On it, there were two large golden words, 'Ling Tian'. Just these two words alone seemed to have injected a soul into the flag, as if it was a sovereign descending upon the world, majestically descending upon the battlefield with an unexcelled arrogance!
