The weather in Western Xinjiang is very strange. It seems that heavy snow is still falling in the sky, but suddenly an east wind blows in overnight. Mountain flowers are blooming all over the mountains and plains, and large groups of flowers emerge from under the deep snow. The entire mountain forest

It was crisp and clear, and everywhere I could hear the snow melting rapidly and the gurgling sound of the creek. The birds that had gone south flew back in large groups, circling and clamoring in the mountains and forests all day long, courting and mating, making it a great time. The mountains and forests were filled with joy.

The various beasts in the cave are also in full bloom. Before they have time to find food to fill their empty bellies, some eagerly embrace each other and begin the most sacred movement of reproduction.

Perhaps it was the spring breeze that stirred the heart of spring, or simply the melting snow and the flood rushing down the hillside made it impossible to accommodate people in the barracks. In short, one million Xia troops suddenly left the camp overnight and moved forward quickly.

After hundreds of miles, they have reached the bank of the Hulun River, directly threatening the Hairen's Hulun River defense line.

This time, the Xia Army's lightning-fast offensive surprised the Hai people who were slow to respond. Dozens of small checkpoints and forward strongholds along the way were easily destroyed by the Xia Army. The Hai people immediately lost control of some territory on the east bank of the Hulun River.

, watched helplessly as the Xia people reached the door of their own defense line and began to set up camp. The only thing that could reassure the Hai people was that the Hulun River had expanded to nearly a hundred meters due to the melting of a huge amount of snow at its source and the expansion of water in its tributaries.

It is so wide that it is difficult for birds to cross.

General Green, who was commanding the defense line, looked at the images captured by the reconnaissance plane and showed an extremely contemptuous smile: "I would like to see how primitive people like them cross this river."

The Xia army did not cross the river. They just camped by the river, hunting, fishing, and collecting various medicinal herbs, tree roots, and other things. They were relaxed and leisurely, as if on a spring outing. The Xing Tian family's Black Sword Army and Xuan Biao's 400,000-strong army settled down along the river.

The camp was dozens of miles long, facing the mountain pass that was the most spacious and most defensive among the sea people's most defensive line. Countless soldiers played in the camp every day, fighting dogs and walking animals, and they were indescribably happy.

.

The other hundreds of thousands of Xia troops were hundreds of miles away from the Xingtian family's army at the upper and lower ends of the Hulun River. They also set up camps as if they were waiting there to celebrate the coming New Year.

There was no plan to send troops to cross the river. The soldiers were doing nothing, and some even climbed up the tree trunks to catch monkeys for fun. The scene was extremely ugly.

All the Hairen generals laughed so hard that they could not close their mouths as they pointed at the Xia army soldiers in the picture who were almost misbehaving. Green even made a more arbitrary judgment: "If the Xia soldiers are like this

In terms of quality, I highly doubt they can pose any threat to us. Of course, their personal combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated."

A group of generals who were standing in the defense command room watching the images transmitted back from the reconnaissance plane suddenly turned green. They clearly saw that a dozen Xia Army soldiers who were fishing on rafts actually joined forces to pull

There is a "devil fish" that is a specialty of the Hulun River. It is a very large freshwater and saltwater amphibious fish with a body length of more than 30 meters. It only flows back from the sea to the Hulun River along with the flood every spring.

Huge monsters spawned at the source.

"Poseidon, did I see it wrong? There were only three of them pulling the rope! Three people, caught a stingray? Is it possible?"

Like a blow to the head, this horrific scene made the proud and arrogant Hairen generals breathless. On the Xia Jun side, behind the noise, secret operations had begun.

Xia Hou rode Mo Qilin and ran to the camp of the Anjun Army to find Xiang Liuyin. The unique coercive aura of the mythical beast exuded from Mo Qilin caused the venomous snakes and pythons entangled in the trees and entrenched on the road to dodge. Only Several big pythons that were about to turn into dragons finally plucked up the courage, spat a few words at the Mo Qilin, and then retreated to the roadside in dejection.

Xiang Liuyin was swimming in the river, catching big fish one by one with his bare hands. Spring is a great time for the fish in the Hulun River to lay eggs and mate. The silvery light under the water is brilliant, and there are dense schools of fish everywhere. Xiang Liuyin's fists were not empty, so he grabbed one and threw it directly to the shore, which attracted bursts of cheers from the soldiers. Several greedy pythons swam quickly around Xiang Liuyin, He opened his big mouth and swallowed the fish in the river that didn't know how to escape.

Xiang Liurou was sitting on a tree stump on the bank. When she saw Xiahou riding Mo Qilin running over, she immediately jumped up, turned over a dozen somersaults in the air, and landed suddenly in front of Xiahou's rider. There was a "clang" sound. , one finger wide and five feet long, it was as thin as gauze, almost transparent, but it was a pale green with a fishy smell. Xiang Liurou pulled it out, pointed at Xiahou's nose and shouted: "Barbarian, come here. What are we doing in the camp? Didn’t we agree when we sent out the troops that we would divide our forces and attack as soon as Commander Xingtian Cangyun’s order arrives and the date is agreed upon? What are you doing here?”

He was still calculating the bet between himself and Xingtian Dafeng and the others, so he was very rude when he spoke. However, Xiang Liuyin, who was having a good time in the river, flew up, crossed the hundred-foot-wide river, and arrived in front of Xiahou. He pushed his younger brother back a few steps, looked at Xiahou with a smile and asked: "Marquis Chihu, what do you want from us?" He stretched his body, and the muscles under his skin were beating continuously, as if they were countless. Earthworms were crawling around underneath, which was extremely weird. This was also a sequelae caused by the witchcraft of Xiang Liu's family.

Xia Hou jumped off Mo Qilin, grabbed a military map from the leather bag behind his back, and said with a smile: "Before Commander Xing Tian Cangyun's order has not arrived, I will give you a heads up. Here are the maps we set foot on last winter. I made a map of the entire Hulun River Basin, especially the several passes defended by the Hai people. I carefully surveyed the valley and found many trails that could go around the back of their defense line. It's just that the trails are difficult to walk, at least. It would take someone of level nine or above to climb over."

Xiang Liuyin raised his brows, quickly grabbed the map, carefully looked at the dense markings and annotations on it, raised his head in surprise and asked Xiahou: "Last winter, when there was such a heavy snowstorm, you traveled all over Hunan. Lun River Basin? No wonder I went to the Black Army several times and didn't see you."

Xiahou smiled lightly, shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I, the Tiger Tyrannosaurus, are greedy for life and afraid of death. I am most afraid of losing too much to my brothers. Therefore, it is best to do some work first to reduce the losses to my brothers. "

Xiahou smiled strangely at Xiang Liuyin, and Xia Hou said lightly: "The biggest advantage of your Anaconda Army is that there are so many beasts for you to drive. Your Xiang Liu family's poison-playing skills are said to be the best in Daxia.

Well? It’s just worse than the great witches in the Li Witch Palace. So, if you can get behind their defenses and inject venom into their water sources, hehe.”

Xiang Liuyin laughed knowingly and stretched out his hand towards Xia Hou, but Xia Hou stretched out his big palm to shake his hand, but was slapped back by Xiang Liurou. Xiang Liurou took a step forward, arrogantly

shouted: "Why, you people from the Xingtian family have finally learned to please our brothers? Hahahaha, what can you do without our help?"

Without saying a word, Xiang Liuyin slapped Xiang Liurou hard on the face, and roared: "You trash, shut up!" Then, he held Xia Hou's palm hard and smiled.

He said: "My brother is not sensible. Don't take it to heart, Commander Chihu."

Deliberately raising his voice, Xiang Liuyin glanced sideways at Xiang Liurou and said lightly: "The matters between our brothers and their brothers are private matters. Can they be confused with Daxia's matters? Why did the head of the family pick you?

Such a narrow-minded idiot comes out? If according to your thoughts, when he was young, the head of the Xingtian family broke our head's leg bone, is it possible that our head still wants to fight him with a sword now? "

Xiang Liurou was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "I don't believe they have any good intentions."

The muscle stripes on Xiang Liuyin's face that had been drilling around suddenly exploded, and Lao Gao roared angrily: "You trash, what kind of intentions can you have? It's just to save a few of our brothers from dying! I

Let me tell you, if you still can’t separate personal grudges from official business, I will ask the head of the family to send you back to the clan and make you a useless person for the rest of your life!”

Xiang Liurou cursed so hard that Xiang Liurou didn't dare to raise his head. Xiang Liuyin immediately changed his smile and smiled at Xiahou: "I'm tired of the Chihu Army. This map is suitable for me."

This battle is extremely valuable. So, do I need to send someone to familiarize myself with the road first?"

Shaking his head, Xiahou turned over to Mo Qilin and said with a smile: "It's not necessary. Before we left, we had marked it with witch fire, which is very easy to find." After laughing a few times, Xiahou waved provocatively towards Prime Minister Liu Rou.

He waved his fist and laughed and said: "Xiang Liu Lao Liu, our brother Xing Tian said, don't forget our bet, let's see who kills more Hai people. Also, if you capture one Hai people prisoner, it will be worth ten.

How about the killed heads? The prisoners of the sea people are extremely difficult to capture."

Xiang Liuyin stared at Xia Hou closely, and slowly a bright smile appeared on his face. He punched Xia Hou: "Okay, one copper bear coin for each head, and a jade coin for each prisoner."

Xiahou raised his fist to meet the attack, and the two fists collided, causing the water in the nearby Hulun River to recede more than ten feet.

Xiang Liuyin took a step back fiercely, and the smile on his face suddenly faded. Xiahou's face turned green and green, and green and green again, but it turned into normal in an instant. Xiahou looked up to the sky and laughed, suddenly on Mo Qilin's back

After turning a few somersaults, he galvanized his mount and sped off, leaving Xiang Liuyin there with an extremely ugly look on his face.

Carefully looking at Xiang Liuyin's face, Xiang Liurou asked in a low voice: "Lao San, what's wrong?"

Xiang Liuyin said with an extremely gloomy face: "When I saw him just now, I noticed that his expression was not right, so I deliberately tried him before leaving. Sure enough, there was a great witch who had reached the pinnacle of voodoo skills and gave him the most powerful poison.

'The Poison-Destroying Curse'."

Xiang Liurou was confused: "What is that? I have never heard of it."

Xiang Liuyin said angrily: "That is to say, from now on, no voodoo can deal with this barbarian Chihu Tyrannosaurus! Unless there is a powerful witch who is stronger than the one who cast the curse on him, we believe that he will not be able to deal with him."

The Liu family's most powerful poison technique has no effect on him at all."

Triangle eyes rolled, Xiang Liurou said with a smile: "What's the big deal? We couldn't deal with him, and there were also elders in the family who asked them for a share of voodoo and killed him anyway."

Xiang Liuyin looked at Xiang Liurou for a long time, and finally looked up to the sky and sighed: "What on earth did you learn in Anyi? What on earth were you doing when I was practicing in Sheze? 'Ten thousand poisons to subdue witchcraft', at least

Only a great witch from Bading can perform it, at least a great shaman from Bading must be able to perform it, and he must be a great witch who has an extremely deep understanding of voodoo medicine and voodoo to be able to perform it." He looked at Xiang Liurou and said coldly:

"And the magic power of the great witch who casts the spell will drop to nearly a level within thirty days. Needless to say, the energy and effort spent on it will be huge."

He stabbed Xiang Liurou's heart with his finger, and Xiang Liuyin said coldly: "What does this mean? This means that behind the barbarian Chihu Tyrannosaurus, there is at least a great witch from the Eight Cauldrons of the Li Witch Palace helping him. And

You know very well about the great witch in the witch palace. Without great benefits, he would help a barbarian who has no foundation in Anyi?"

Xiang Liurou suddenly realized and said: "So, the head of the family's voodoo can still poison him to death."

Xiang Liuyin no longer had the energy to argue with him anymore, so he just said feebly: "You can go and try. Who knows which great witch from Li Wu Palace is behind him? Or, maybe it's the master of Li Wu Palace? You provoke him.

If you touch him, aren't you afraid of causing trouble? Especially since he has obtained all the wisdom of the Heavenly Witch. Hmph, maybe if you touch him, you will touch the current Heavenly Witch and the King. Can you try?"

Finally understanding the powerful relationship between Xiahou and Xiang Liurou, Xiang Liurou did not dare to talk nonsense anymore, but he still muttered: "That is because Tianwu Palace is taking care of him. What does it have to do with Li Witch Palace?"

Too lazy to explain too much to his sinister but sometimes stupid brother, Xiang Liuyin grabbed the map and shouted: "Call all the generals of the family to the Chinese army to discuss how this thing should be used.

Only in this way can we take the greatest advantage. The bet with Xingtian Dafeng and the others is nothing more than that, but they have made great achievements and can show their faces properly in front of the king and the head of the family. This cannot be dealt with casually."

After pondering for a moment, Xiang Liuyin suddenly smiled: "Xingtian Dafeng is very generous, and he actually sent me such an important map. Well, I can't let them underestimate the children of my Xiangliu family. Give it to him, and several others."

Let’s send a hundred copies of the strongest voodoo we make to each place. Well, choose the one that has a slow onset and will die suddenly after two or three days.”

Xiang Liurou reacted now and said very viciously: "Yes, if strong poison is put into the water source, several of them will be poisoned at once. They must be on guard. This is the only slow poison, hehe."

With great interest, Xiang Liurou ran to her family's army baggage team to select the voodoo that her brothers had prepared by themselves when they were bored in the winter.

With the detailed terrain and military intelligence obtained by Xiahou and the others after trekking all winter, and the sudden and generous supply of chronic voodoo from the Xiangliu family, a large number of ordnance was suddenly sent from Anyi in the rear, including some voodoo.

With powerful magic weapons such as seals that can be used directly inside, the morale of the entire Daxia army immediately improved. They sharpened their knives and prepared to slaughter the fat and tender lamb of the Hairen in front of them.

Those Xia army soldiers who had been holding back for nearly half a year couldn't wait to go to the Hairen territory to capture a few ladies and let them vent. Although Xia Hou was a military judge, no one really dared to do so when he was around.

It violates the military rules and regulations left by Xing Tian Cangfeng, but once the war starts, the war continues, and the battlefield stretches for thousands of miles, can you, Xiahou, handle it? The children of the aristocratic family, whose eyes are red with desire, have already begun to make plans.

, I want to rob a few noble ladies of the sea people and taste what it is like to be a noble woman of the sea people.

On March 27th of this year, when the snow had not yet melted and there were patches of white everywhere, Xing Tian Cangyun and Xing Tian Miao finally sent a joint order: the disciples of each family commanded

On the first day of April, the New Army troops began a full-scale offensive against the Hairen. No matter what happened, the order required them to attract the main force of the Hairen for at least half a month. Half a month, as long as

Half a month was enough for the main force of the Xia army, already lurking on both wings of the Hairen hinterland, to carry out a devastating blow to the lifeblood of the Hairen's eastern territory and even the central territory.

Xingtian Dafeng summoned all the children of the aristocratic family for the first time and held a pre-war mobilization meeting.

Of course, with the knowledge, experience and experience of these young people, they couldn't make any big sense. Xingtian Dafeng just rolled up his sleeves, punched the conference table in front of him, and yelled: "Fuck,

I have a lot of gold, silver and jewelry here, which the king has sent as bounty in advance. Which brother has the ability, just take it with his brothers. The bounty of a total of 100,000 jade coins will be divided among everyone.

, but how long will it take us to go to Xifang? The money is here, it depends on you whether you can get it or not."

In order to match Xingtian Dafeng's rhetoric, Xingtian Xuanzhi presented very strong evidence: an animal skin bag as tall as a person, from which poured out countless jade coins, as well as obviously newly minted copper bear coins, gold bear coins, and countless more.

Ten dove-egg-sized sea beads of different colors sparkled in the pile of money.

With a 'chi' sound, all the generals gasped at the same time, with a crazy look in their eyes.

Xingtian Xuanzhi said coldly: "Does everyone know about the bet between our brothers and the Xiangliu brothers? Anyone who is interested can come and play. In the end, whoever beheads the most and captures the most prisoners will get a copper for each head.

Xiongqian, a jade coin for each prisoner. If you have the guts, just come and gamble. If you don't dare, just take off your pants and squat outside."

Shen Gongbao was the first to jump out, and also punched the table, shouting loudly: "Who are you saying you don't have the guts? It's a hero, let's bet!"
