Chapter 305 Attack on Hongya
In Hongya Cave.
Pushing cups and changing cups, drinking and drinking together.
The Yuanlu Demon King hosted a banquet in honor of Mr. Nong, and all herbivorous demon generals gathered together.
During the banquet, Mr. Yan talked and laughed freely, calmly and unaffected by the various looks below.
After all, they are all old enemies for hundreds of years, and many of them have died at the hands of Mr. Nong. Countless relatives and friends, how could there be no hatred in them.
Most of them are enemies.
However, when it comes to major issues of right and wrong, the demons' stance is still firm. Since Mr. Yao has come to defect to Demon King Yuanlu, he is one of their own.
As for the distinction between the herbivorous camp and the carnivorous camp, sometimes it becomes blurred in the face of ideals and aspirations.
The Yuanlu Demon King didn't care about his background at all, and regarded Mr. Yao as his honored guest. It was in great need of such a stable think tank and worshiped him as a military advisor on the spot.
In fact, it originally wanted to become the king directly, but because Mr. Ao had offended too many demons, it couldn't act too hastily.
Mr. Yan was mentally prepared and didn't mind it at all.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food.
Demon King Yuanlu asked Mr. Yan for his opinion on the current situation.
Mr. Yao knew that the topic was coming, so he put down his chopsticks and cup and asked Demon King Yuanlu what he thought before answering.
Demon King Yuanlu shook his head and sighed: "The situation is not optimistic now. I suffered heavy losses in the battle at Jingqilin. Most of the army under my command was destroyed. Only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left in Hongya Cave to show off their bluffs. Only the Xuanwu Corpse Rejection Site still has 10,000 people left. Elite troops are stationed, and the situation can be described as precarious”
Mr. Yan twirled his beard and directly told the latest information.
"The three human strategists under Demon King Kuihu have suggested more than once that it attack Hongya Cave. It will take as little as three days and as little as five days. The war is about to start again."
"What?!"
Demon King Yuanlu and his generals were shocked.
"Didn't they turn around first and remove the place where Xuanwu refused corpses? Why did they attack Hongya Cave?"
It stands to reason that no matter Xuanwu Jie Zhi or Hongya Cave, one is a natural dangerous place and the other is an old nest for many years. They are both easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are many large formations.
The two are at odds with each other.
Demon King Kuihu is caught in the middle. It is actually like walking a tightrope. If you make the wrong move, you may be doomed, and you may even get dumped.
The safer approach is to turn around and go back, first stabilize the rear, remove the nails, and then advance steadily. This is a mature and prudent method.
But those three humans, with the potential for great victory, encouraged Demon King Kuihu to storm the lair at all costs. Who could stand this crazy approach that left no escape route?
Mr. Yan was also troubled by these three people and asked directly.
"If the enemy invades in large numbers, I wonder if the king is confident that he can defend it?"
Demon King Yuanlu shook his head honestly: "I can't hold on!"
"Old Kui Hu still has four thousand elites under his command. They are all veterans who have fought for many years. They are a real army of tigers and wolves. There are only ten thousand old, weak, sick and disabled here. Both individually and jointly, they are far inferior to the opponent. They were rushed in. It’s a massacre.”
"Even if Hongya Cave is protected by numerous formations, there are also formation masters on the opposite side. With me being restrained by Mr. Kui Hu, these formations may not be able to stop the opposing army."
Mr. Yan was thoughtful and began to add up.
Demon King Yuanlu was agitated when he thought about the attack coming soon, and couldn't help but ask:
"Then how about we give up the Xuanwu Corpse Rejection Area and bring back those ten thousand elites to help defend this place?"
"No rush."
Mr. Yao stopped it.
"The Xuanwu corpse-rejecting place is a naturally dangerous place, and it is also the strategic depth of the king in Hongyaye Plain. If it is lost, it is very likely that it will be blocked in Hongya Cave in the future and never get out."
"If we stay there, Demon King Kuihu will allocate part of his energy to guard the rear no matter what, which can be considered as indirectly helping us to involve the other party's energy."
"The most important thing is that the king has great ambitions and has worked hard for two hundred years to defeat the Demon King Kuihu. How can he give up his future just because of a moment of urgency?"
"The Xuanwu corpse-rejecting land is inserted behind it, which can block the retreat and come to support. If the weather changes in the future, it can also attack from both sides. This is the confidence for us to turn defeat into victory. We should consider it again and again and take good care of it. Exploit.”
Yuanlu Demon King quite agrees with this statement. It naturally has a far-sighted vision, but there are urgent matters that need to be solved at the moment. It wants to defend its lair, but it has more than enough ambition but not enough energy.
Mr. Yan smiled slightly.
"This veteran is not talented. Although his strength is low, he still has some skills in training troops and forming formations. I am willing to share the worries of your Majesty!"
Yuanlu Demon King was overjoyed, and his words were full of concern.
"I heard from my husband that the opponent will attack in as little as three days or as many as five days. Sir, do you have enough time to train your troops now? After all, these are the old, weak, sick and disabled guarding the gate."
Mr. Yan stretched out his paw to calculate.
"Teaching them to practice an eight-door golden lock formation in three to five days is enough"
Yuanlu Demon King has no doubt about him. Hundreds of years of fighting have made him have great trust in Mr. Yan's ability. According to this demon's stable character, if it is enough, then it must be enough.
"In this case, Mr. Lao is here!"
Demon King Yuanlu directly took out the military talisman, which was a piece of topaz in the shape of an elk, and handed it to Mr. Yao.
All the demon generals were stunned!
This is just the first day of defection, and the military power of tens of thousands of troops can be given directly to him!
Mr. Yao seemed to have expected this, and he also knew that Demon King Yuanlu was not polite and hypocritical. Instead, he accepted the military talisman generously, stood up and bowed for a long time.
"I will live up to the king's trust!"
Demon King Yuanlu didn't finish, turned around, took off a crystal dagger hanging on the wall, and put it in Mr. Yan's hand.
Looking around at the generals, they all looked stern.
"I know how angry you are, and some of you still have hatred, but now that the building is about to collapse, whoever dares to obstruct military advisors from training, or who disobeys orders and disobeys orders will be killed without mercy!"
"This colorful cloud crystal sword is a symbol of status. Hold it as if the king is here in person, cut it first and then show it, take it as you please!"
"I advise you to do your best to assist the military advisor in training troops, otherwise you will be caught deserting when the time comes. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Demon King Yuanlu is really considerate and directly delegates all military power and power of life and death to solve all Mr. Yao's worries.
Don't be suspicious when you employ people, don't use people when you are suspicious.
This is his unique personality charm, which makes Mr. Yan sigh in his heart that he has followed the right person.
The generals were obedient, bowing their heads and not daring to breathe too much, for fear that Mr. Nong would slip into his shoes.
Demon King Yuanlu and Mr. Nian looked at each other and smiled, they had a clear understanding of each other, just like they had been close friends for many years, everything was unspoken.
Outside Hongya Cave, there is the camp of Demon King Kuihu.
This time, the air in the king's tent was even more depressing, the storm was about to come, and the building was so tense that everyone could hardly breathe.
It is no secret that Mr. Yao fled outside Hongya Cave, and Demon King Yuanlu ran out to greet him before he could put on his shoes.
Demon King Kuihu was so furious that he immediately summoned all his generals.
All the demon generals were also trembling, sensing the king's volcano-like anger that was about to erupt, so they kept silent and stood still, for fear that someone would be angered accidentally.
Lin Shan and the other three also looked confused.
They had previously speculated whether Mr. Yao might seek refuge with Demon King Yuanlu due to his ups and downs.
But according to the character of this demon, the possibility should be low. In addition, in order to save the face of Demon King Kuihu, he did not go after him, which led to a big mistake.
Several people are deeply aware of Mr. Yan's ability to lead troops.
During the battle in Jingqilin, Mr. Yan set up a military formation, which was able to withstand the bloodline magical power of Demon King Yuanlu and the fierce attack of tens of thousands of troops on the ground for nearly half an hour.
Once this type of character defectes to the other side, it will be greatly detrimental to one's own side and the difficulty will rise significantly.
The three brothers secretly sent letters to complain.
"Big brother and second brother, I have long said that Mr. Yao is a serious nuisance. No matter where he is, he will become a stumbling block for us. We should persuade Demon King Kuihu to kill him that day. You must stop me!"
"Second brother and third brother, I also said at that time that I would go directly out of the camp to catch up with Mr. Yan and kill him. It was you who were hesitant and allowed him to go away. What's the use of regretting at this time?"
< br>
"Brother and third brother, this matter is not our fault. In my opinion, Mr. Nong must have met an expert. Otherwise, how could he have figured it out so quickly on his own and gone to join Demon King Yuanlu in the blink of an eye?"
"Now that the matter is over, instead of guessing what happened to it, let's think about how to deal with it now. This demon and the Yuanlu Demon King are mixed together, and the trouble is really big!"
When Demon King Kuihu saw that everyone was gathered, he was not unambiguous and asked questions directly.
"Nongkuan has defected to Hongyadong early this morning. What do you think?"
In fact, it was Lin Shan and the other three who were asked, and most of the other demon generals couldn't explain why.
The three of them in Linshan watched his words and naturally knew that they should speak according to the mood of Demon King Kuihu at this time.
"Your Majesty, Yan Kuan is acting in the opposite direction, abandoning light and turning to darkness. If God wants to destroy him, he must make him crazy first, and he will surely suffer the consequences in the future!"
"Yes, this move is just in line with its previous behavior. It has an improper relationship with the Yuanlu Demon King. Now that the king has seen through it, he simply stopped pretending and went to the Yuanlu Demon King openly and openly. His wolfish ambition is obvious. Revealed.”
"It's a shame that the king trusted it so much before. After discovering that it was having an affair with a foreign enemy, he still thought of the old relationship and deliberately let it live. It dared to betray the king by cheating on it. It is really an ignorant white-eyed wolf!"
The three brothers unanimously denounced Mr. Nong's fault, and at the same time felt unworthy of the Demon King Kuihu.
Demon King Kuihu felt like he was coming right now.
It felt that the three people were considerate and said what it wanted to say.
In its cognition, it has not felt sorry for Mr. Yao. Mr. Yao turned to its mortal enemy, Demon King Yuanlu, which was simply a betrayal of its previous trust.
"Forget it, Nongkuan left as soon as he left. Let him surrender to the enemy. Anyway, I have three military advisors to assist him, which is far better than him. There is no need for him to stay here. I should be glad that he surrendered to the enemy in the future. After breaking through Hongya Cave, we have a reason to kill it!”
Demon King Kuihu was really angry this time and made up his mind not to let Mr. Yao go.
People in Linshan understood this and stepped forward to express their loyalty.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you are so generous, you are a rat! A country bumpkin, who behaves like a monkey but has a nondescript appearance, really thinks that he is a great scholar of the country. If he doesn't weigh his weight, he will not recognize the reality."< br>
"We swear to follow the king to the death, eliminate the rebels, hang the rebellious officials and traitors, and are willing to share the worries of the king!"
"Everyone who is a troubled person will punish him. If he betrays the king, he will eventually pay the price he deserves!"
Demon King Kuihu turned from anger to joy, and his face changed so quickly that it was dizzying to see.
"What do the three military advisors think they should do next?"
Zhong Shenxiu directly offered suggestions:
"I think we should attack Yuanlu Demon King's base camp with lightning speed tomorrow without giving them a chance to breathe."
Young Master Jiuyou seconded the proposal:
"The battle should be fought sooner rather than later. After all, our army is deep in the hinterland of the country, and behind it there is the Xuanwu Corpse Rejection Area guarding the throat. It really should be fought quickly!"
Lin Shan naturally shares the same position with the two brothers:
"Mr. Yan has just surrendered to the enemy camp. He hasn't had time to get acquainted with his colleagues, and he hasn't had time to train the army. He only has the ability to lead troops but has no place to use it. This is the time when it has the least effect. Please send troops quickly!"
"Okay!"
Demon King Kuihu follows the good deeds.
Now that Mr. Yan is gone, there is no longer any different opinions, and it is naturally very decisive in making decisions.
That night, the generals went back and prepared for war. They sharpened their swords and were very excited. They cried and howled all night long.
On the second day, it was dark.
Outside Hongya Cave, Demon King Kuihu has already formed an array in front of him. The various cave masters and demon generals are leading their families to get ready.
On the temporary general platform, dozens of flags were fluttering in the wind. Under the platform, there were large drums surrounded by strong men from the demon clan as drummers.
Demon King Kuihu sat under the umbrella of the general platform, with a sand table in front of him, and Lin Shan and three other people stood waiting on his left and right.
This time there is no so-called "fighting between generals".
Because general battles are usually provoked by the attacking side in order to kill the opponent's majesty and boost one's own morale.
Now the morale of Demon King Kuihu is high, and the demons of Demon King Yuanlu are panicked, so there is no need to fight, otherwise it will be self-defeating if they lose.
Maybe the opponent is eager to fight you, but as the defensive side, they have no initiative, and they have no say whether to provoke a fight or not.
As soon as the drums sounded all around, the evil spirit filled the wilderness, the big flags roared, and the strong wind swept through.
"Kill!"
Demon King Kuihu gave an order.
General Xiong, the confidant general, took the lead in leading the charge, followed by several demon generals. Fully half of the entire army took action upon hearing the news.
"Commander Lin, the task of breaking the formation is left to you."
On the general stage, Demon King Kuihu gave up his position in the middle of the sand table, and then flew into the sky with a loud roar.
The Yuanlu Demon King didn't know what he was doing, but after suddenly hearing the roar of the tiger outside, he quickly flew out of the cave to meet it, for fear that it would cause damage.
Lin Shan nodded and just said, "I'll do my best."
After all, he himself does not have the skills of the Black Skeleton Demon Lord, and his formation level is only half-baked. He relies on the virtual astrolabe to detect the earth veins to calculate the formation and weaknesses, and then command the army to break the formation.
Unless Xuxingpanji Ling Xiaoxin comes out, he can break the master-level formation of Demon King Yuanlu face to face, but that is just seeking death.
He would never dare to let Lin Shan break the formation himself. Firstly, he was afraid of revealing that he didn't know how to use the formation. Secondly, the battlefield was too dangerous and there was no need to take risks.
According to the instructions of the virtual astrolabe in the storage bracelet, he placed the bear's head flag on the sand table to the side, and the herald next to him immediately waved the flag.
When General Xiong, who was charging on the battlefield, saw this, he immediately led his troops in a circle and penetrated the flank, narrowly escaping another stumbling block.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Shan planted flags on the sand table one by one, and the herald kept changing the flag language. The troops in the front also received good feedback, and after a while they reached the first line of defense.
The Yuanlu Demon King in the sky is fighting fiercely with the Kuihu Demon King and has no time to worry about the formation. It can only count on Mr. Yao to help it defend against the enemy.
In Hongya Cave, Mr. Yan was listening to the report with a confused look on his face.
It hadn't even had time to train its troops, so why did the other side suddenly attack?
All the demon generals under his command had nothing to do with Mr. Nong at this moment. They all hurriedly ran out to lead troops to resist, no matter how much Mr. Nong shouted, they didn't care.
Mr. Yi holds the military talisman in his left hand and the sword in his right hand.
He found that he had become a mere commander before he even had time to take power.
