Chapter 1094 How to fight this battle
Facts soon proved that Yukongyue's caution was completely necessary.
Because just when the reinforcements of the demon clan arrived, another demon clan army of more than 50,000 people flew out from other directions of the Jiudemon Mountain, and then detoured to the rear and directly attacked the garrison of the demon clan army.
It is obvious that the demon clan has hated the demon army base that is only more than a hundred miles away from Jiude Mountain for a long time, because it was like a dagger pressing it against their throats, which really made them feel very uncomfortable.
Now that they have the opportunity, they naturally have to pull it out. However, when they rushed over excitedly, the boundless Storm-breaking Sky Arrow first greeted them, followed by the army of demons that rushed out in a crazy way.
The two sides immediately entered a fierce battle. No one would show mercy, because both sides had long regarded each other as mortal enemies, so now they are only to live and die.
…………………
Five hundred miles away, there is a city that is not tall and brilliant, but extremely sturdy.
Because the place is remote and cold, there are not many fertile land for cultivation, so there are not many people, but there are 100,000 demon troops stationed in the city for many years.
The purpose of this army is not to prevent people from causing trouble, nor to deal with the invasion of the Eastern Demon Realm. Their existence is to prevent the demon clan.
After the long-term confrontation between the demon clan and the demon clan eased, although the demon clan gradually withdrew its troops, it did not really relax its vigilance completely. In addition to the 100,000 troops outside the Jiu Yao Mountain, cities were built and troops were stationed in many places.
These cities are distributed on the necessary path for the demon clans of Jiu Yao Mountain to send troops, and they are only five hundred to one thousand miles apart. In this way, even if the demon clan invades again, each city can respond at any time and rescue each other, just like a breakwater that constantly delays the speed of the demon clan's invasion, so that there is more time to dispatch troops.
As the message of help came, the originally calm city suddenly became boiling.
"The demons in the Nine Demon Mountain are restless again and actually jumped out of their nests. This matter must not be tolerated. We must fight them back."
"Your Highness the Princess is supervising the battle outside the Nine Demon Mountain. Brothers, it's time for us to show our faces. Protect the princess and kill the demon clan."
"Go to fight!"
…………
Since the demon army in the city is preparing for war almost all year round and is ready to deal with the sudden invasion of the demon race at any time, it does not require any action at all, and does not even take time to prepare. Almost after receiving the order, the army of 100,000 drove out of the city.
They were not worried that after they left, almost no one would be captured by the demon clan, because at the same time, more demon clan troops were constantly driving from the rear.
Since the last battle between the demons and demons ended, too many demon soldiers and generals are ready to wait for such opportunities, not only to make achievements, but more importantly to avenge.
Now the opportunity has come. No matter why this battle started, they were extremely excited to join in. It is precisely because of this that when Yu Kongyue's order to dispatch troops was sent to several surrounding defenders, they did not shirk responsibility at all and led their troops to set off at a very fast speed.
When the soldiers and horses of five or six cities acted, the movement would naturally not be small, and it would definitely attract the attention of other demon generals. When they learned the reason, they all became hot inside.
When fighting, you should start a war with the demon clan. Such an opportunity should not be missed. Moreover, His Royal Highness is in Jiude Mountain at this time, and even to show his face, he must go there.
Driven by such an idea, many generals who had not received the order and did not dare to act without permission also had the idea and began to hand the letter of requesting the battle to Yukongyue through various methods.
It has to be said that although the battle at Jiu Yao Mountain has just begun, because Yu Kongyue has participated in it, more and more demon troops have become more and more lively.
There has been no large-scale war in the Western Demon Realm for a long time, and most of the troops have become like a pool of stagnant water, becoming more and more dispersed. At this time, the spirit suddenly comes, which will of course attract the attention of the upper class of the demon clan. Even the Demon Emperor, who has not been to court for a long time, was alarmed and summoned the ministers to discuss matters.
Soon, relevant information was handed over to the court, and when the Demon Emperor saw the name of Yu Kongyue mentioned in the information, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but laugh.
Why is the upper class of the entire demon clan so sensitive to this matter? It is really because war breaking out between the demon clan and the demon clan is nothing. It’s a matter of time. If you don’t fight today, you will fight tomorrow. Since the fight starts, let’s continue. The demon clan has never been afraid of anyone.
What they really worry about is whether there are other reasons behind the abnormal movements of the army, such as someone who wants to usurp the throne, want to advise the army, want to clear the emperor's side, etc.
Although Emperor Yukong was dead, everyone knew that his influence would not disappear easily, and would at least remain for a long time. If someone had made trouble under the banner of avenging him, it might have been a war within the demon race.
For the demons in the Western Demon Realm, this is definitely a very fatal matter.
The Demon Emperor actually has similar worries.
Although the Demon Emperor does not like the pressure on Yukong Emperor every step of his efforts, he has to admit that as an heir, he is undoubtedly quite outstanding.
Because of this, even though the Demon Emperor Yukong felt very unhappy several times, he had no idea of destroying him, and at most he suppressed him some.
The Demon Emperor did this, because it was difficult to find a suitable heir. Yukong Emperor was a very good one. If he was deposed and Yukongyue was not around, then there would inevitably be no one to inherit the Demon Emperor's position, which was quite bad for the stability of the court.
Second, at that time, Emperor Yukong had a great power and influence in the court. If the Demon Emperor forcibly abolished him, it might cause a strong counterattack from his vassals, and then it would inevitably lead to a fight within the demon clan.
This is a very bad thing for the royal family and the demon clan, so the Demon Emperor took the initiative to endure it after careful consideration.
However, the Demon Emperor never expected that a journey to seize treasures on the top of thousands of mountains would eventually lead to Yukong Emperor's life, and Yukongyue became the ultimate winner.
The Demon Emperor's feelings were quite complicated in this regard, and he was a little happy. Then, after he confirmed the identity of Yukongyue's heir to the Demon Emperor, he began to clean up the influence of Yukong Emperor in the court.
However, this kind of thing is easy to say, but the centipede worm will not be stiff. Even if the leader Yukong Emperor dies, his vassals are mixed and connected very widely, so they can be cleaned up in a short time.
The Demon Emperor was also worried that these people were unwilling to withdraw from the court and secretly gathered their strength to do something unforgivable. Therefore, when he first heard the troops and horses in the direction of Jiu Yao Mountain move together, even the Demon Emperor was a little worried.
It was not until he was determined that Yu Kongyue was pushing him that he felt relieved. At least he would not worry that Yu Kongyue was eager to take over the position of the Demon Emperor, so he wanted to launch an army to cause trouble and drive himself down.
After carefully reading the information, the smile on the Demon Emperor's face became even more obvious.
Jiu Yao Mountain is not only a heart disease of the demon clan, but also a heart disease that he has lingered over the years. Since Yu Kongyue appeared there by chance and had the confidence and courage to solve it, the Demon Emperor was naturally willing to support it.
In fact, all the princes in the court of the demon clan knew that the demon clan must have taken down Jiu Yao Mountain, which was just a matter of time.
If this Demon Emperor had not taken action, it would have been a solution after the next Demon Emperor ascended the throne.
Because he was mentally prepared, no one would come forward and accuse Yu Kongyue of doing this wrong after he figured out the whole story. After all, it was not him who started the battle, but Chu Changjie.
Yu Kongyue is just a coincidence, and she helps Chu Changjie clean up the mess, so even if there is a board, she can't hit her. Moreover, since the battle begins, it will be meaningless to blame whoever is responsible. The most important thing is to win the war.
"Now you guys discuss how to fight this battle, right?" The Demon Emperor did not express his plans directly, but threw the problem to everyone in the court.
"Your Majesty, I thought..." After a moment of silence, someone stood up.
……………………
Xia Fan noticed that Yu Kongyue and his 50,000 demon army under his command were attacked by the demon clan, but he did not immediately go to support him. Because he believed that Yu Kongyue's talent could handle it, and at the same time he knew more clearly what the key to deciding the outcome of this battle was.
Why did the demon clan never completely wipe out the demon clan before? Most of the reason is that the latter can use the Jiude Mountain for defense, especially if the mountain protection formation is not broken, the demon clan will always be at a point where it can attack and retreat or defend. No matter how many troops the demon clan sends, they will only be blocked in the mountain protection formation.
But now it is different. Since Xia Fan opened a gap in the mountain protection formation, the subsequent demon army can drive straight into it. As long as he takes every step and takes steady steps, he may not be able to completely take down Jiude Mountain.
But the premise is that Xia Fan and others can defend this gap.
In fact, this is not easy. Because the demon clan also realized the importance of the gap opened by Xia Fan, many demon kings rushed over with demon soldiers in order to kill the demon army blocking the gap, and even if they were not good, they had to drive them out.
"Boom..." Nearly 300,000 to 400,000 people fought together, and the destructive power caused was immeasurable.
Especially the shock waves brought by the fierce fighting between the master-level masters and the demon kings caused considerable damage to the surrounding mountains and rivers. Many peaks hundreds of feet high were smashed, and the gravel was crushed into powder before they could fall to the ground.
