The scout rode on the dragon horse and rushed towards the Triple Battle Fort.
Fang Yun looked at the end of the sky. The three huge black fortresses were connected together. Further away, hundreds of eagle demons were circling in the sky.
"Humph!"
Fang Yun snorted coldly. Dark clouds appeared in the sky where the eagle beasts were circling. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. In an instant, all the eagle beasts below the Demon King level were killed. Even the Demon King quickly descended.
It was about to rain when a strange red light shot up to the sky and dispersed all the dark clouds.
It was the power of the Half-saint treasure of the barbarians.
Then, dark clouds gathered in the sky above the barbarians, but they were dispersed by the power of the Heaven-burning Furnace.
The weather in August was even more unpredictable than in June and July.
After traveling for two hundred miles, Fang Yun stopped testing the power of the Heaven-burning Furnace.
The scholars and private soldiers behind Fang Yun were full of respect. Using dark clouds to kill monsters from hundreds of miles away, the great scholars could do it too, but they would not do it so easily.
Chen Youdao said, "Fang Xusheng, it seems that the barbarians will let us enter the Triple Battle Fort. They will definitely surround us in three days. As far as I know, after you arrived in Ning An City, the Wolf Saint Army guarding the Wolf Saint Mountain has already set out. They should arrive in three days. Once they arrive, the barbarians will attack the Triple Battle Fort at all costs. "
"The Wolf Saint Army is the strongest army of the grassland barbarians. Lang Lu used the secret method of the demon world to train them. Their strength is no less than the main army of the demon world. There are even rumors that the leaders of the Wolf Saint Army came from the main army of the demon world. Once the 300,000 soldiers of the Wolf Saint Army attack, if there is no way to defend, then my Jing Country would need at least five million elite soldiers to stop them. Today, even the Wu Country, which claims to be invincible in this world, only has three million elite soldiers. So, we have to retreat before the Wolf Saint Army arrives. "Fang Yundao said.
Chen Youdao sighed in relief, "I am relieved to hear that. I was afraid that you would be swayed by your emotions and try to take the opportunity to hurt the Wolf Saint Army."
"The Triple Battle Fort is not the place to deal with the Wolf Saint Army, but outside Ning An City is fine."
Chen Youdao looked at the sky helplessly.
Hu Li looked at Fang Yun without saying a word, but there was a faint worry in her eyes.
The team smoothly arrived at the Three Battle Forts.
Up close, the three fortresses looked extremely majestic. The walls of each fortress were as high as twenty stories. The construction materials of these walls were meticulously prepared by the craftsmen, making them exceptionally sturdy. Even the Beast Kings and Barbarian Kings would have a hard time breaking through them.
The three fortresses were connected together like three impenetrable walls, blocking the only way for the barbarians.
The iron gate of the fortress in the middle rose slowly, and the noises of the noose rolling were deafening. Then, a Great Scholar, three Grand Scholars, and many scholars came out to welcome them on Flood Dragon Horses.
The leader of the group was the examiner of Fang Yun's Juren Exam, the beggar Royal Uncle Zhao Jingkong. However, this man was no longer part of the royal family of Jingguo. He had been promoted to the Great Confucian Scholar for many years and had just returned to Jingguo this year.
Zhao Jingkong was originally stationed at Yuyang Pass, but because of the Barbarian King, he came to the Three Battle Forts.
Fang Yun took a closer look. At this moment, other than the purple Great Confucian Robe, Zhao Jingkong looked exactly the same as before. His hair and beard were still messy, and his face was so dark that even a raindrop could leave mud stains on it. Even his purple robe was stained everywhere.
Zhao Jingkong's eyes were cloudy, and his face was dispirited. He looked like an old man, but no one looked down on him.
Fang Yundao said, "Military affairs are more important, so let's keep it simple. No need for formalities. Let's talk as we enter the city. "
Zhao Jingkong said lazily, "Since Fang Xusheng is here, I'm relieved. From now on, you're in charge of the Three Battle Forts. I'm going to sleep."
After that, Zhao Jingkong turned around and left.
The scholars on both sides rolled their eyes. Zhao Jingkong was too lazy. He would be like this even if he met Half-saint.
Fang Yun already knew Zhao Jingkong's temperament and guessed that he was practicing with all his might. He didn't care and looked at the three Great Scholars.
Among the three Great Scholars, two of them were Great Scholars from the School of Engineering, Zhang Yuan and Zhang He. Both of them were from the Zhang Heng Clan. They used to work in the Hall of Engineering, but now they resigned from their Notre-Dame positions and joined the army as Jingguo citizens. In fact, they were in charge of the Hall of Engineering in Jingguo.
The other person was Jingguo's Great Scholar, Liu Hong. He was promoted to Great Scholar two years ago, and his military strategy was extraordinary. This person's hair and beard were white, and his face was full of wrinkles. He was experienced and prudent, and his work was steady and steady. He was also very careful, and he was good at defense. The entire Three Battle Forts operated perfectly under his command, and there hadn't been any mistakes until now.
"Greetings, Fang Xusheng!" The three Great Scholars saluted in unison.
Fang Yun nodded and squeezed the horse's belly, saying, "Lead the way, we'll go to the northern city wall to take a look. Old General Liu, can you tell me the specific situation here? "
Liu Hong thought for a moment and then reported the military affairs of this place. It was organized and concise. Before they arrived at the north wall, Fang Yun had an accurate understanding of the strength of both sides, military intelligence, supplies, morale, mechanisms, and other aspects of the enemy and their side.
Finally, Liu Hong smiled and said, "The Barbarians are in famine every year. Even though they can absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth to sustain themselves, they don't have enough food. Their bodies continue to weaken, and their overall strength has decreased significantly. I heard that this is all thanks to your strategy."
"I'm still young, and it's not really a strategy. It's the result of the joint efforts of the human race." Fang Yun said modestly. Back then, Fang Yun's position was too low, and the strategy to weaken the Barbarians was too cruel. The human race was afraid that the Barbarians would assassinate Fang Yun, so they didn't publicize it. Now, the ban was not as strict as before. Many people had found out from various sources that Fang Yun was the main reason why the Barbarians were in famine every year.
Zhang Yuan and Zhang He were typical workers. Unless Fang Yun asked, they didn't say a word. They were more concerned about the mechanisms.
When they arrived at the top of the wall, Liu Hong's eyes flashed with worry. He said, "General Poyue is tied up in front. You … don't be rash."
Fang Yun's expression changed slightly. He nodded and changed the topic. "How are the preparations for the retreat?"
Liu Hong said, "I heard that you wanted to take us back to Ning An, so I started to prepare. We can retreat smoothly tomorrow morning. But … I don't know how to deal with the pursuers. "
"I have my ways." Fang Yun said.
"Then I'll just follow your orders." Liu Hong sighed in relief.
The eyes of the many scholars behind him flashed with a trace of joy when they heard this.
Since they were here, everyone was prepared to die on the battlefield. But if they could leave alive, it was naturally worth celebrating.
Fang Yun was in front, and the four scholars and the others were behind him. They climbed up the wall of the Three Consecutive Battle Fortresses.
The top of the wall was stained with blood, and a strange fishy smell entered their nostrils.
Fang Yun didn't care. Compared to the Borderline Mountain, this place was like a countryside garden.
Some scholars behind Fang Yun who hadn't experienced a great battle changed their expressions. Their stomachs were churning, and they tried their best to suppress the discomfort in their bodies.
Fang Yun glanced around casually. The top of the wall of the Three Consecutive Battle Fortresses was like a miniature version of the Borderline Mountain. There were many sliding rails nearby, and a large number of mechanisms set up. Many soldiers stood in front of them, and countless soldiers blocked the front line.
Some soldiers were cleaning the top of the wall.
A great battle had just ended.
