Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1054 Comprehensive Counterattack
Huang Longshi sighed and said, "All this is because I led the chaos in the imperial court into the martial arts world, allowing talented people to emerge in the martial arts world. I think that the backbone of scholars in this world is crooked, and I want to straighten it. The warriors in the Spring and Autumn Period relied on their strength to arbitrarily prohibit things. I will destroy thousands of secret manuals, put reins on them, and turn wild dogs into domestic dogs. I want to make sure that in the next few hundred years, there will no longer be the martial arts world where young men with swords are dashing, no longer the earthly immortals travel to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening, and no longer the immortals ride cranes to ascend to the Heavenly Gate. And you, you saw through my wish and used my power to complete your own plan."

King Yan commented: "All conflicts in the world come from obsession. Until now, no one has been able to let go completely."

Huang Longshi said: "You guessed my persistence. Cao Changqing's move was really cruel and accurate. Now, the battle between Liang and Mang is inevitable. My mistake was that I underestimated you."

"Your mistakes are more than just these. You always think your methods are dark and your heart is towards light, but you fall into greater darkness. This is a common problem among you wise men. Only darkness can devour darkness." King Yan suggested: "Let us deduce the situation of the next battle between Liang and Mang."

Huang Longshi agreed to play this round, "Okay, I will accompany you to the end of this round."

Then, he said to the girl next to him, "Go pick some vegetables in the field first and wait for me to come back."

Hehe, the girl put on the mink hat given by Xu Fengnian, nodded, and went to the fields to pick vegetables.

King Yan seemed to be thinking, or asking a question, "Where should we start? Let's start from the starting point of the Liang-Mang war. The borders north of Liangzhou are all cities and military towns, with great depth, and it is difficult for the Northern Mang to find opportunities. The situation in Youzhou is much more complicated. Although there are a dense network of large and small Wubao beacons in the Hulukou area, the original intention was mainly to block the rapid advance of the Northern Mang army. Therefore, Youzhou will be the main battlefield."

Huang Longshi continued, "The strategy adopted by Beimang is to break up the team once they enter Beiliang. Each team will be led by one or several top martial arts masters, and they will adopt a guerrilla warfare tactic to attack and kill Beiliang's living forces everywhere. To this end, the Queen of Beimang will definitely mobilize the four major forces of Beimang Daode Sect, Qijian Yuefu, Gongzhufen and Tibingshan, and let many well-known Beimang demon heroes be driven by Li Mibi. Among these masters, there are the elders in charge of law of Daode Sect, Dayuefu of Qijian Yuefu, Xiaoniang of Gongzhufen, and two demons on the list. And the second and third grades have countless masters. In order to prepare the combat power that can destroy Liang in one battle, the Queen of Beimang will definitely send out all the masters of Beimang Jianghu."

King Yan continued, "There is no shortage of wise men in Beiliang, and they must have been prepared for Beimang's strategy. Tingchao Pavilion is one of the three forbidden areas in the martial arts world. It is unknown how many masters are hidden in it. The Queen of Beimang is risking the Beimang martial arts world that she has accumulated for many years. It is doomed to be in vain. Beimang has lost a child first."

In the land of Beiliang, there was constant wind and snow. One man was holding a spear, and the other turned snow into a sword. Under their feet were corpses of Beimang masters, including the corpse of the great elder of the Daode Sect.

Huang Longshi said: "When Beimang finds out that these methods of theirs have failed, they will eventually return to the starting point of everything. In the final analysis, a war between two countries is a competition of national strength. Beiliang is only three states, and can only compete with Beimang by defending its position in a strategic location. Led by the Beimang military god Tuoba Bodhisattva himself, who has a magical power, and with the assistance of Hong Jingyan and others, the Beimang army will quickly break through Beiliang's arrangements."

The Beimang army stretched for hundreds of miles, with flags covering the sky. They crossed Hulukou and attacked Beiliang.

None of the three cities, six passes and two hundred forts surrendered. They all fought to the death and dealt a heavy blow to the vanguard of the Northern Mang.

But it was unable to stop the Northern Mang, who were determined to destroy Liang. As the main force of the Northern Mang arrived, Hulukou, the most important fortress of the Northern Mang, fell. King Yan said: "After Hulukou is broken, the Northern Mang will face the second line of defense run by the Northern Liang, the three cities of Wogong, Xiaguang and Hutou. As long as this line of defense is broken, it will be a decisive battle between Liang and Mang."

Huang Longshi sighed, "Xu Xiao has deployed 100,000 troops on this line of defense, and even sent his adopted son to the front. If Beimang wants to take down these three cities this time, it will take more than 150,000 men. I'm afraid it won't work."

At this point, Huang Longshi suddenly changed the subject, "Ren Tu is indeed Ren Tu, he is still strong despite his age, and he is willing to sacrifice 100,000 soldiers and his most loyal adopted son to win a great victory in the Liang-Man war."

As soon as these words were spoken, an elusive aura flowed invisibly in the atmosphere.

Even though his plan was exposed, King Yan remained expressionless and said calmly, "Use the gaps, turn light into darkness, and collect intelligence. I calculated that I would place the decisive battle on Longyaner Plain and annihilate all the elite troops of Beimang in one fell swoop."

Huang Longshi smiled and said, "Your disguise is really too deceptive. Your cold and low tone, your reckless style, make people think that you have long lost contact with Beiliang. It even makes people overlook that from the beginning to the end, you have actually been on the side of Beiliang. In fact, now it seems that whether it is in Tiemen Pass or in Tai'an City, the ultimate beneficiary is Beiliang. Whether it is Yi Ye Shu or you, King Yan, from the beginning to the end, you have been making plans for Beiliang. To be honest, if you hadn't asked Xu Xiao to cooperate with you to spread the news of his serious illness and death in Beimang, Beiliang, Liyang and other places, I wouldn't have seen through your plan so quickly."

King Yan showed no emotion at all, "I think Mr. Huang has already responded."

Huang Longshi did not seem to be in a hurry, and said slowly: "Like Li Yishan back then, he wanted to use the first Liyang Northern Expedition to let Xu Huainan, the King of the Northern Court, who had been lurking in Northern Mang, join forces to capture Northern Mang and form a north-south confrontation with Liyang. Your goal from the beginning was to let Northern Liang rise up and take over the eight states of Northern Mang."

King Yan said: "I think that soon, Gu Jiantang will lead the Liaoxi troops to attack the Beimang western line army led by Chen Yuanzan in the north."

This top three scholar in the Spring and Autumn Period said: "Wei Jingtang, who guards Hengshui City, is Zhang Julu's best disciple. Although he is hostile to Beiliang, he will never forget public interests because of personal interests. He will definitely send troops. In addition, Zhang Julu, who is openly hostile to Beiliang, has actually been secretly supporting Beiliang's resistance to Mang. Therefore, the final result is that Liaoxi troops marched to attack Beimang."

King Yan continued to deduce, "Contact Zhang Julu through other channels, so that this Prime Minister who is devoted to Li Yang cannot take action, and force Gu Jiantang to send troops to support Beiliang. Once Gu Jiantang moves, Beimang will not be able to attack completely. After conquering the three cities of Beiliang, Beimang and Beiliang will both suffer losses, but because of Li Yang's actions, they have to stop advancing. Let the situation return to the past situation of Beimang, Beiliang, and Liyang in a three-way confrontation. In this situation, under your plan, Huang Sanjia, Beimang, Beiliang, and Liyang will each lose one child and gain one child."
