Chapter 748: Battle of Seven Counties
Emperor Yuliang suggested sending someone to assist. "In case King Wu is not familiar with the situation, I have sent a general to the Seven Counties to wait."

Luo Hou, who had been dormant for so many years and had not moved for a long time, was looking forward to the war and readily agreed, "Okay."

“In that case, I will stay in Yumu and wait for good news from King Wu.” After saying that, Emperor Yuliang transformed into Benxiao and flew away through the air.

After Emperor Yuliang left, Luo Hou reorganized the troops of Tiandu and led his army to the seven counties of Nangong.

When they arrived at the border, the generals sent by Emperor Yuliang had been waiting for a long time.

"You are Luo Hou." The man, wearing silver armor and holding a silver spear, called Luo Hou by his name.

Luo Hou saw that this person was extraordinary, "You are the person arranged by Emperor Yuliang."

The man introduced himself: "Yes, I am Huang Quan, the commander-in-chief of the left army of the five armies of the Yu Yu Dynasty. I am also a member of the Moon Clan."

Compared to his surprised subordinates, Luo Hou didn't care at all. "Moon Clan, I didn't expect that Emperor Yuliang would dare to send you under my command."

Huang Quan was born to the king of the Moon Clan and a woman of the Illusion Clan, and has royal blood of the Moon Clan.

The second among his paternal brothers is Youming, who is Wu Jueqi's second elder brother.

In the past, in order to retrieve Luo Hou's head, Emperor Yuliang sent Hu Hou to lead the army to attack the Moon Clan and destroy the country in one battle.

All the members of the Moon Clan became prisoners of war of the Yu Yu Dynasty.

After obtaining Luo Hou's head, Emperor Yuliang persuaded the Moon Clan to surrender and assured them that he would not seek revenge on them after Luo Hou was resurrected.

Afterwards, the Moon Clan, under the leadership of Youming's elder brother, Cangxue Yinyue, the Moon Clan's general, surrendered to the Yuyu Dynasty.

For the sake of his brothers, Huang Quan volunteered to serve as the commander-in-chief of the left army in the Yu Yu Dynasty, and was stationed in the border area between the Yu Yu Dynasty and the seven counties.

The two parties reunited, and Luo Hou's general, the demon-like half-monk, said, "Now that we have reunited, let's attack the Seven Counties immediately."

Huang Quan heard this and said with a smile: "From what you said, you are planning to kill them directly without any preparation."

Another general, Voodoo Sutra, agreed with the demon-body half-monk, "With King Wu here, time has yet to stop us."

Huang Quan said mercilessly: "It's that no one can stop Luo Hou, but it's not that we can't stop you."

"you……"

"The enemy has people who are proficient in Xuanmen Dunjia. If you rush forward like this, you will probably fall into the enemy's calculations and waste your combat power."

The demon-like half-monk wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Luo Hou, who asked Huang Quan, "According to what you said, what should we do?"

Huang Quan took out a map from his sleeve and spread it out.

The map detailed the terrain distribution, mountains, lakes, waterways and rivers within the seven counties.

Huang Quan pointed at the map and gave a strategy, "This line of defense was built with the combined strength of seven counties, integrating the essence of terrain, magic, and mechanisms. If we attack by force, I'm afraid we won't be able to take advantage of our numbers."

Upon hearing this, Leng Chuixue, the Left Guardian of Tiandu, said, "As you said, do we have to wait for the defense line to collapse on its own?"

"No, if we want to fight, we must attack the opponent's weak points and use the strong to defeat the weak. While minimizing our own losses, we will completely tear apart the entire defense line. The dynasty has already made some preparations. Once King Wu leads his army to attack, we can cooperate internally and externally to capture the seven counties."

After listening to Fang Lu, Luo Hou, who once ruled Xi Wulin, showed his admiration without hiding his feelings. "Well, a first-class general. I never thought that there would be such a talent in the Yu Yu Dynasty."

Huang Quan replied: "This is not the work of me alone, but the result of many years of hard work by everyone in the dynasty. I am just an executor."

Luo Hou asked: "Well, from what you said, there are still people in the Yu Yu Dynasty who are better than you."

Huang Quan had no intention of hiding it, "It is no secret to Lord King Wu how many talented people there are in the dynasty. If you want to know, you can check it at any time." "Hahahahaha..." Luo Hou laughed when he heard this.

Then, he said: "In this case, I am actually too stingy."

He ordered his generals: "In this battle, you must obey the command of Huang Quan, the commander-in-chief of the left army, and do not bring disgrace to the reputation of our Tiandu."

The generals dared not disobey Luo Hou's order, "Yes, sir."

Under Huang Quan's arrangement, the generals received their tasks.

The Yu Yu Dynasty and the Seven Nangong Counties deployed heavy troops, symbolizing the resumption of war.

On top of the towering border wall, Mr. Shanzai, the leader of the Five Fingered Generals of Xuelin, accompanied by Zuo Xiu, the second-ranked Flying General of Xuelin, climbed up to look far into the distance and surveyed the army formation of the Yu Yu Dynasty.

After reading it, Mr. Shanzai sighed, "Alas~, according to the spy report, the Twelve Lanterns have been pacified. Now that the internal troubles of the Yuyu Dynasty have been eliminated, it has begun to actively expand. Although there were wins and losses in the previous seven battles, for the huge Yuyu Dynasty, it was just a small fight. Looking at the military situation today, I am afraid that the Yuyu Dynasty has already intended to destroy our seven counties. I just don't know if the person leading the troops is still Huang Quan, one of the five military commanders, or if he has sent three marquises with higher positions?"

“Ha~” Zuo Xiu was originally a mute who had difficulty speaking. He achieved what he has today because he was rescued and carefully cultivated by Shan Zai.

Shanzai and Zuo Xiu have known each other for many years and have long been in tune with each other. "Don't worry, with the Xuelin Border Town, we will be able to hold out until the prince leads the reinforcements."

After the two of them finished talking, they saw a general in silver armor coming from the opposite army formation. It was Huang Quan.

Huang Quan walked to the front of the formation and shouted to Bian Cheng with his inner strength, "Please show up, Mr. Shanzai."

Knowing that Huang Quan must be trying to persuade him to surrender, Mr. Shanzai appeared and met with Huang Quan, "I wonder if Commander Huang Quan has any advice for you since you have deployed your troops here today?"

Huang Quan said in a clear voice: "I don't deserve your advice. Actually, since I was stationed here, you and I have fought several times, and we have won and lost. We are acquainted. Now, our heavenly soldiers have arrived, and the destruction of the seven counties is a fact. Today, I hope you can open the gates and surrender to reduce unnecessary losses."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Shanzai smiled and said, "From what the governor said, the Yuyu Dynasty is determined to take over my seven counties. Then it depends on whether your dynasty really has an appetite and can take over my seven counties."

Huang Quan heard this and sighed, "Alas, you did it even though you knew it was impossible. It's really a waste of your wisdom, sir."

The implication is that the Yu Yu Dynasty is determined to conquer the seven counties this time.

After the previous battles, Mr. Shanzai knew that Huang Quan was not a person who shot without purpose, and thought to himself: "My guess is correct. The Yuyu Dynasty has sent its elite troops. This battle will be different from the past. I just hope that this defense line, which has cost the seven counties countless manpower and financial resources, can hold out until the reinforcements from the county king arrive."

"Why say so much? Just show what you are capable of." Mr. Shanzai made his position clear.

"Okay. Army, listen up and attack the city!" Huang Quan gave an order, and the war began.

The imperial army attacked the city and launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle with the defenders of the seven counties.

"Shoot!" Mr. Shanzai gave the order and thousands of arrows were fired from the city.

But the imperial army, holding golden shields and braving the rain of arrows, laid out ladders and began to climb up to the pass.

Under the sunlight, the golden shield reflected dazzling golden light, which could be seen within ten miles.

The golden light made it impossible for the defenders on the city wall to see the situation below, buying time for the imperial army to set up ladders.

At the same time, the imperial army launched a counterattack by launching catapults.

Countless huge stones smashed into the pass, crushing many soldiers into meat paste.

The rivers of blood and the miserable deaths symbolize the cruelty of war.

"Fire!" Rolling stones, wooden poles, and hot oil all came down. Under the border town, another hell was created.
