Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 1994: Five years

Beginning in 933 of the Black Iron Calendar, after Zhang Tie destroyed the three camps of the Demon Race and killed the four Saint-Rank powerhouses of the Demon Race, the situation of Taixia's holy war was reversed in an instant with the momentum of the river running. The Taixia army, which has been in a defensive position, began to turn from defense to offense. Like the fire of a prairie prairie fire, it entered the control area of ​​the demons and began to regain lost ground. In just over half a year, it was once occupied by the demons and hoarded heavy troops. Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Yuzhou, and Anzhou, which were used to threaten Lingzhou, Lizhou, and Tongguan defense lines, have been regained by the Taixia army.

Even from the perspective of historians, this is a landmark event, worthy of a special book, because this is the first time since the beginning of the Holy War that Taixia's army has begun to recover the lost ground on a large scale, the army of the demons. He and the knight began to retreat, which was a huge turning point for the entire human jihad battlefield.

Like the great turning point that took place on the eastern battlefield, the turning point is happening unknowingly on the north and south fronts of the jihadist battlefield in the western continent.

Beginning in the winter of 932 on the Black Iron Calendar, the coalition forces on the Western continent suddenly began to discover that the pace of the offensive of the puppet troops of the Holy Alliance Empire had suddenly slowed down. It began with the offensive launched by the Holy Alliance Empire on the land battlefield. The number of times is decreasing, the use of candle oil weapons in the offensive army is no longer so unscrupulous, and then in the sky, the reaction speed of the air cavalry of the Holy Alliance Imperial Army has also become slow, and the wings appearing in the sky The demons began to increase. After continuous tentative offensives, the human coalition forces in the Western continent established their superiority in the sky at the earliest. Later, after a summary and analysis of intelligence from various parties, the human coalition forces in the Western continent finally confirmed that it seemed to be overnight. It is no longer possible to produce candle oil within the Holy Alliance Empire.

For the army that is accustomed to using and relying on candle oil, once there is no candle oil, it means that the plane can no longer fly into the sky, and it means that all soldiers have less daunting candles. Oil weapons, in this case, even if the army of the Holy Alliance Empire is supported by the demons, it is impossible to maintain the previous attack rhythm.

Not only that, when the three major camps of the demons in Taixia were destroyed overnight, in the Western Continent, it is hard for everyone to see the existence of a large camp of demons and knights, originally established in the Holy Empire. The two demon camps disappeared overnight. Under this circumstance, the morale of the Western coalition forces was greatly boosted. After stabilizing the north and south fronts, they finally began a counterattack in local theaters.

On May 1, 933 of the Black Iron Calendar, on the same day that Zhang Tie swears to the Master at Xuanyuan Hill, after more than half a year of brewing, the great counter-offensive of the human coalition forces on the two fronts of the western mainland finally began. The situation of the jihadist battlefield, in the east and west continents, began to develop rapidly in the direction that was beneficial to the human race at the same time. The power of the demon race and the demon doglegs began to collapse like an avalanche.

In June 933 of the Black Iron Calendar, Zhang Tie arrived at Taixia’s jihadist battlefield. In the same month, hundreds of four armies including Taixia’s Black Armour, Shence Army, and Habayashi Army were divided into five armies. From Tongguan and the regained Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Yuzhou, and Anzhou at the same time, they invaded the occupied areas of the demons and began the war of recovery. The Taixia Fifth Route army was like a broken bamboo, and waited until the black iron calendar 934. In just one year, they successively regained Xianzhou, Pingzhou, Jingzhou, Dingzhou, and Luozhou. The news came, and the whole country was in joy.

...

In the Weishui in April, the ice on the water has already melted. From the air, the rushing Weishui is like a green belt tied to the ground. At noon, the sun is shining and the huge Taixia aerial battle fort is from Flying from the east, leaving a huge sliding shadow on the devastated ground.

A war fortress of the demon race standing on the ground with a height of more than a thousand meters, like a strange tree in the sky, is standing on the east bank of the Weishui River. The shadow of the war fortress of the human race in the sky can only take the demon race in a while. The fortress of war was covered.

On the ground around the war fortress, the fort beetles covered with steel scales raised their heads and stared at the war fort in the sky. Some fortress beetles began to run around nervously, and some fortress beetles were moving towards The slime spit out from the sky, but the slime spit out by the fortress beetle is only a few tens of meters at most. For an aerial battle fort flying at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, it is too insignificant and has no effect at all. It is just like on the ground. The crawling ants wanted to drown the flying eagle in the sky with saliva.

The reaction of the fort beetle was instantly transmitted to the war fortress of the demon race, and the war fortress of the demon race like the strange tree in the sky also felt a certain danger, and black mist began to appear in the mouthparts of the war fortress. Come out and block the airspace around it.

It's just that all this is equally futile.

Once the demon clan’s war fortress has completed its transformation, it cannot be moved at all. Without the protection of other demon clan, its air defense capability will be almost zero.

It's a pity that in the thousands of miles of airspace around that huge aerial battleship, half of the demon knight can't be seen, and there are not even a few winged demon.

Just when the war fortress of the demons was suffocating the black fog, a bright lightning shot from the war fort in the sky and fell on the war fortress of the demons, the war fortress of the demons. In an instant, it was like a castle made of sand on the beach encountered a tsunami, and it suddenly became slag. The ground several square kilometers around the war fortress was swept by the terrifying heat and strong shock waves in an instant, and gathered in this war fortress. The fort beetles on the surrounding ground suddenly gasified into smoke...

Only a few seconds later, on the ground where the demon war fortress was, there was nothing left except a large pit, just a few fortress beetles that were just ten thousand meters away, crying like nothing. Running around on the ground like flies.

On the air battle fort, Zhang Tie slowly retracted the outstretched hand, frowned slightly, and looked at the Weishui that appeared before his eyes again, the inexplicable irritability in his heart did not completely disappear.

Behind Zhang Tie, there were hundreds of Taixia generals and knights. Everyone looked at Zhang Tie. Few people paid attention to the disappearing demon clan war fortress on the ground. For these generals and knights, Once the war fortress of the demon clan is not protected by the knights of the demon clan, it is something that is destined to become ashes. Not to mention them, even the air cavalry troops following up can easily erase the war fortress.

Zhang Tie had just taken action, and he was probably just having fun with his itchy hands, just like when a person is walking along the river, when he gets bored, he picks up a rock and floats on the river.

It has been almost two full years. The generals and knights of Taixia who followed Zhang Tie have never seen Zhang Tie make a move. The last time Zhang Tie made a move was in Ningzhou. A knight of the demon clan flew to this distance. Zhang Tie flew out from the war fort in the airspace thousands of miles away. After a while, it was just a cup of tea, and Zhang Tie came back with a head of iron armor and demon sky. Since then, the battlefield Shang never encountered a goal worthy of Zhang Tie's shot.

No one speaks behind Zhang Tie. Over the years, everyone around him has developed a habit. As long as Zhang Tie does not say to stop, this aerial battle is the arrow and pioneer of the Taixia Fifth Route. Fort, it will keep flying forward like this, and crush all the enemies you can see along the way. No enemy can stop them. No matter what obstacles they encounter, they are not worth mentioning in front of this aerial war castle. , Everyone firmly believes that they can even hit the disaster zone all the way...

"Stop..." Zhang Tie still spoke. He didn't turn his head, just raised his hand, and the air battle fort that was slowly flying in the sky stopped. "We are here waiting for The ground troops and other armies arrived. When the Weishui was frozen in winter, everyone crossed the river. Then we drove the demons from the ground to the ground in one effort, ended the holy war on the ground, and restored the whole territory of Taixia..."

Hearing Zhang Tie’s words, the eyes of the generals and knights behind him were burning. Just across the Weishui River, the only places that the demons can occupy now are Yinzhou, Wuzhou, Zhuzhou, Yezhou and From the barren state outside Yezhou to the region of the disaster zone, it is only a matter of time to regain these places, and time does not depend on the knights rushing in the front, but on the army following the Five Routes The engineer corps behind the ground forces can re-lay the railways and build roads at a speed. Only when the railways and roads are rebuilt, the materials and personnel behind can be brought in continuously and the ground forces can gain a firm foothold.

...

As the air battle fort stopped in the sky on the south bank of the Weishui River, thousands of knights in the air battle fort had already flew out of the air battle fort, and began to sweep thousands of kilometers around the battle fort. ——Generally speaking, after their raid, Taixia’s air cavalry units will come and wash the ground again, and then the vanguard of the ground troops will arrive. After the vanguard, the four-way army of the upper four armies will come. The ten engineer corps followed behind the Fourth Route Army, building railways, roads, and field airfields. Behind the engineer corps, the following states and state forces followed, followed by the first local officials. With experts in various fields and various business groups that smell business opportunities...

There are not many demon knights in the surrounding airspace for thousands of miles. This makes many knights who went out to sweep away secretly cursing in their hearts. They know that a group of people have already penetrated this area before they arrive. Those people, He is the strongest knight of Taixia's major sects and giants.

When the jihadist battle situation is not good, these sects and wealthy sects will behave more conservatively than the regular troops of Taixia, each shrinking to protect themselves, and the forces that can be sent to the battlefield are very limited, and once the jihadist battle begins When things get better, these sects and wealthy families will behave more aggressively and boldly. The giants and sects that had been shrinking and conservative, all scrambled to put the elite power of the family or sect on the battlefield and automatically became kings. Precursor.

On this day, it has been nearly five years since Zhang Tie left the Xuanyuan Qiu Oath Master, and the situation of the Holy War has already undergone earth-shaking changes...

And for some reason, in the last few days, Zhang Tie always feels that his mood will be inexplicably irritable and restless...
