$ Chapter 249 High-Quality Treasure Ship (1/2)

"Your Majesty, this time the harvest is too great. The army of Daxia almost did not resist. Except for a few people who were killed, most of them surrendered.

Although the specific number has not been counted yet, a rough estimate can also know that there are at least 300,000 captives, and these people are still young and strong. Excellent labor force!" Wei Minghua, the commander of Jiemen Pass, smiled happily and reported to Feng Tianzong.

As the nominal commander of this battle, this victory is inseparable from his credit. Feng Tianzong, the emperor, was there throughout the whole process, and everyone's performance was also seen.

"Your Majesty, after winning this battle, can we directly occupy the land of these three counties?" Lan Shengping, the lord of Jiemen Pass, happily proposed to Feng Tianzong.

Da Shang did not set up prefectures and counties, but only cities as units. Each city has a city lord who manages the government affairs of the city, including the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of the city. The city guards in the city have a separate commander and are not under the jurisdiction of the city lord.

Jiemen Pass is a special place. It is a military town with military affairs as the main task. There are no villages or towns under its jurisdiction. Therefore, the position of the commander is higher than that of the city lord.

If Da Shang can take advantage of the victory this time to occupy the three counties outside Jiemen Pass, Jiemen Pass will be just an inner city in the future.

Feng Tianzong knew that the decisive battle with Wanfa Sect was inevitable. If they could win the battle, the large area of ​​land outside Jiemen Pass would basically be in Da Shang's pocket.

"Wait a little longer. Da Xia will definitely not be willing to fail like this. There should be another wave of counterattacks. After this victory, we can almost send troops to occupy the land.

By then, it will not be the land of these three counties, but the more than 20 states and counties in the north of Da Xia. All of them will be in our Da Xia's pocket." Feng Tianzong said calmly.

The secular war was won, but this is just a starting point. The most important thing is the war of cultivators.

"Your Majesty is wise, your Majesty has great magical powers, and you will win this battle. I will report to the Prime Minister and prepare officials to take over the prefectures in the north of Daxia." Lan Shengping, the lord of Jiemen Pass, said flatteringly. Although all he said was flattery, Feng Tianzong could see that this person really admired him from the bottom of his heart.

With Feng Tianzong's cultivation, he could tell at a glance whether a mortal's words were true or false. Feng Tianzong was quite tired of subordinates who flattered him. However, if the subordinates really admired him, it could not be called flattery.

This time, Feng Tianzong did not let his army plunder the population, but directly returned to Jiemen Pass with the army and prisoners. There were more complaints among the militia who followed.

After all, these people were organized spontaneously, not only with their own weapons and equipment, but also with their own equipment, as well as various means of transportation, mule carriages, etc.

They were preparing to go out to fight this time so as to make a fortune. They did not expect that even though the army had won a great victory, they were not allowed to plunder. Instead, they were ordered to return to Jiemen Pass.

Although they also got some money and weapons and armor from the captives, the gap between the expected wealth and the amount was a bit large, so they could not help but complain.

"How could His Majesty, who is so wise and brave, give such a foolish order? There must be treacherous officials in the court who made slanderous remarks. It was a great victory. How great would it be to take over the land of the three counties? Even more than three counties, the entire northern part of Daxia could no longer resist the power of our Dashang.

Now it's good. Let us retreat directly and return to Jiemen Pass." A young student vented to his companions in dissatisfaction.

Such words immediately resonated with the peers around them. These young people had practiced martial arts since childhood and were the most loyal to Dashang. In the martial arts academy and the academy, they broadened their horizons and had their own opinions on many things. It's just a pity that they didn't know a lot of news from the upper level, such as news about monks.

Because of this kind of bad news, it is inevitable that people will think that the upper class is stupid, or that there are treacherous ministers who are slandering. His Majesty the Emperor must be wise and powerful, and all the affairs of the court are entrusted to Prime Minister Wang Mingyuan.

Since it cannot be the emperor's fault, it must be Wang Mingyuan's fault. For a while, Wang Mingyuan's reputation changed from prime minister to treacherous minister.

"I think the court's decision is right. After all, Daxia has a large population. Even if it loses 300,000 troops, it will not hurt. If we take the initiative to occupy the territory, it will be equivalent to giving up the natural barrier of Jiemen Pass. It will be difficult to defend it at that time." Someone standing on the side of the court refuted.

"Daxia's army is completely vulnerable. What's the need for the natural barrier of Jiemen Pass to fight them? You haven't seen how powerful our Dashang's monster cavalry is. Just over 300 people can attack the military camp of more than 300,000 people. A wave of charge will scare the enemy.

In addition, everyone in my Dashang army practices martial arts, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it is far superior to Daxia's elite army. What we have to do is attack, attack, and attack again! This world will sooner or later belong to Dashang." A young man said passionately.

The people below had different opinions, and the opinions of the people asking for war still prevailed. But no one dared to say bad things about Emperor Feng Tianzong.

"Your Majesty, the people below don't understand the truth, they talk nonsense, and they don't understand your majesty's great strategy. Should we stop it?" Lan Shengping, the lord of Jiemen Pass, asked cautiously.

As the city lord of such an important position as Jiemen Pass, he was brought up by Wang Mingyuan. It is inevitable that he has to stand up and say something about Wang Mingyuan's unprovoked disaster and the damage to his reputation.

Feng Tianzong waved his hand and said, "No need to do that. The people don't understand the situation. They just say a few words. It just shows that the morale of the army can be used. After I have a decisive battle with the other cultivators, I will take advantage of this morale to recover the entire north."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

After all, there is a large formation in Jiemen Pass. Although Feng Tianzong doesn't know how many people from the Wanfa Sect will come this time, he knows that the last time fifteen Jindan came, they all failed.

This time, the Wanfa Sect will come back again, and it will definitely be stronger than the last time. Although Feng Tianzong has confidence in himself, he will not be blindly arrogant.

Taking advantage of this time, he has been working hard to improve the power of the formation. Moreover, because of this great victory, the morale of the army has greatly increased, and at the same time, the people's sense of identity with Dashang has increased sharply.

The dragon veins of Da Shang continued to extend, and now the dragon veins have extended from the royal capital Liaoyuan City to Jiemen Pass. During this period, Feng Tianzong used the manpower of hundreds of thousands of troops to connect the city defense formation that originally only covered the vicinity of the royal capital with the formation in Jiemen Pass with the help of dragon veins.

Now it can no longer be called a city defense formation, but should be called a national defense formation. Although it still cannot cover the entire territory of Da Shang, it can already cover most of the northern border.

Only a few cities have not been covered by the national defense formation. This is because the dragon veins are not enough. According to Feng Tianzong's estimation, it will take less than one or two years for the dragon veins of Da Shang to cover the entire city.

However, when that time comes, I believe that the territory of Da Shang should become larger again. The entire northern region of the Da Xia Dynasty is not smaller than the northern border area outside Jiemen Pass, and it is more densely populated.

While Feng Tianzong was preparing intensively, the Great Xia Dynasty had also gathered its manpower. The Jindan monks sent by various sects who wanted to show goodwill to the Wanfa Sect had all arrived in the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Go to war. This time, I will flatten the entire northern border and make Feng Tianzong, that bastard, die." Wan Honggang announced to the Jindan monks of various sects in a fierce manner.

This time they did not gather too many troops. The army moved slowly and only brought 5,000 Taoist soldiers who had been initiating and teaching the law. Drawing dragon veins from all over the country and initiating and teaching the law to ordinary soldiers was a waste for the monks.

"So many dragon veins can be used to refine a magic weapon. This time, the Wanfa Sect is equivalent to using magic weapons to exchange for a team of low-level Taoist soldiers. It is really rich! This time, the Great Shang is in trouble." A Jindan monk from a small sect looked at the 5,000 Taoist soldiers with heartache, and communicated with his companions around him.

"On the contrary, I think this time is not good. The Wanfa Sect has invested so much money and invited so many Jindan Zhenren to deal with Feng Tianzong. It can be seen that Feng Tianzong is not an easy person to deal with.

I heard that Feng Tianzong came from the Puppet Sect, which is also a first-class large sect in the world with a long heritage and powerful means. Otherwise, the Wanfa Sect would not have invited us to come, and they would have handled it themselves.

This battle is not easy to fight!" A Jindan cultivator next to him said worriedly.

It is indeed difficult for cultivators from small sects like them to participate in the competition between disciples of large sects, but since they want to get the protection of the Wanfa Sect in this catastrophe, some things must be done.

"Hey, although the Wanfa Sect is powerful, the Puppet Sect is also a sect passed down from ancient times. There are countless powerful puppets in the sect. I don’t know how powerful its foundation is.

This time they also sent disciples down the mountain to participate in the dragon fight, which should also be to deal with this catastrophe." Another Jindan cultivator joined in the discussion.

No matter how worried the monks of the small sects below are, they can't delay Wan Honggang's progress. This time, Wanfa Sect has given great support to Wan Honggang, a born sacred disciple.

Not only did they send those Jindan-stage disciples, but they also supported him with a top-grade magic weapon to fight against the Wanchongshan magic weapon in Feng Tianzong's hand.

All things in the world are interdependent and restrained. Qianshan Sect's signature magic weapon Wanchongshan is not invincible. There are always some magic weapons that can restrain it. Otherwise, the first sect in the world of immortal cultivation would not be Wanfa Sect, but their Qianshan Sect.

The reason why Wan Honggang is so confident this time is not only because they have gathered enough Jindan monks, but also because of the top-grade magic weapon in his hand, which is specially used to restrain Wanchongshan.

For this battle, Wan Honggang has made all preparations for revenge. Whether it is the battle in the mortal world, the number of monks, or the confrontation of magic weapons, he has to crush Feng Tianzong in all directions to rebuild his broken state of mind.

Wanfa Sect also sent out a spaceship magic weapon. Not only the Jindan cultivators, but also the five thousand Dao soldiers were loaded into the spaceship and flew all the way to the sky.

Feng Tianzong had already felt it when the spaceship was five hundred miles away from Jiemen Pass.

The huge spaceship, with its sails hoisted high, came from the sky, as if it was a dark cloud in the sky, blocking the sunlight above Jiemen Pass.

If ordinary people see this huge spaceship, they just need to kneel down and call for miracles, and never dare to fight again.

However, Feng Tianzong has already controlled the formation in the Jiemen Pass, covering the entire Jiemen Pass. Including the three lights of the sun, moon and stars, they are all under the control of the formation. In the eyes of ordinary people and the army, Jiemen Pass at this moment is still sunny and bright. There is no difference at all. They are still doing their daily work as usual. There is no difference at all that a war is about to start.

This is also the helplessness of ordinary people. Once the formation of Jiemen Pass is broken. In a battle of this power, ordinary people don’t even have the qualifications to escape. The aftermath of this level of battle alone is enough to kill hundreds of thousands of people in the city.

Feng Tianzong looked at the sailing boat that covered the sky and the sun, and he also took off directly to confront it. Behind him were fifteen puppets with the strength of the late Jindan.

Thirteen copper spirit puppets, one stone spirit puppet, and the last one is Feng Tianzong's natal puppet, which is much stronger than the ordinary late Jindan. In terms of combat power, it is actually one level higher than Feng Tianzong himself.

"Feng Tianzong, today is the day you will be punished. I want to avenge my dead brothers and sisters." As soon as Wan Honggang saw Feng Tianzong, his eyes immediately turned red, as if he saw the murderer of his father.

Feng Tianzong also felt the pressure. The huge sailing ship in front of him released a very huge pressure, which has faintly exceeded the scope of Jindan.

This sailing ship magic weapon is itself a top-grade magic weapon, and there is more than one Jindan cultivator controlling it. It can unite all the mana on the ship.

Not to mention the magical powers attached to it, the power of such a collision alone is not something Feng Tianzong can resist.

"Wan Honggang, no need to say more, today is the day when you die." Feng Tianzong said in the same way. Although the opponent's strength was somewhat beyond his expectations, he also had a backup plan.

"Wan Chong Shan!" Feng Tianzong didn't waste any words and immediately used his magic weapon to smash it.
