Chapter 552 The Horror Wave

When Yinli arrived in Danyang, the core ministers such as Tan Xiaopei and Zhuo Mang were waiting for him in the airship mooring ground, and the members of the delegation who were returning to Xiling with Yinli had already assembled. While Tan Xiaopei and Zhuomang and Yinli and others held talks, Ye Tao was commanding and coordinating the airship brigade for the final preparations. This time, Danyang directly dispatched a total of 44 airships, including Yunzhou No. 1, to directly send a large number of personnel to the hinterland of Xiling. The various arrangements along the way were quite complicated.

In order to facilitate contact, Yinli and his two escorts boarded Yunzhou No. 1. After the airship took off, he realized that Ye Tao was tired and fell asleep. Yinli didn't know much about Ye Tao, but he felt very good. Even the servants around Ye Tao seemed to be influenced by Ye Tao's family for many years, and they always showed the taste of sincerity, which made people feel very comfortable. Feng Zi, who was accompanying, had to answer some of their questions, and Feng Zi always explained why the content that was inconvenient to tell them seriously and plainly. He could not say it, but he refused without Wang Gu's words.

With the explanation of Zi, Yinli had a certain understanding of the situation. In addition to sending missions to Dongping for talks, the Yin family naturally had to make various arrangements in Xiling territory. The families with sufficiently close and reliable contacts were divided and disintegrated and affected their surrender. However, some people finally realized that the prince Yinli had disappeared for a long time, and there were a large number of people in key and sensitive positions, and even Yinying. Yinying's appearance in Danyang might also be a flaw. Some Xiling's dark spies recognized His Royal Highness, but these dark spies were not completely controlled by the Yin family.

There was no change in the court, but some aristocratic families began to gather military forces and had more horizontal contacts. This self-protection situation did not make the Yin family too worried, fearing being betrayed and became a bargaining chip for trading. It is understandable that these families made such a gesture. This situation is not unsolvable. The king of Xiling asked his nephew to visit several clan leaders, which slightly eased the atmosphere. But just five days ago, Yin Zhi and his team were ambushed and the entire army was wiped out. Yin Zhi was unknown in life and death. The one who acted against them seemed to be Emperor Daomingzong. Emperor Daomingzong immediately began to try to control the three states with deep influence on him. Emperor Daomingzong was in

Xiling can be said to be deeply rooted. Just to say, the influence is much stronger than the Leiyin Demon Sect, which has been established for a short time. Especially the continuous infiltration of several generations, the loyalty and fanaticism, combined with the incitement of religion, is really a very terrible force. Even the Daoming Sect began to take a series of assassinations, kidnappings and other measures to directly control the power of some families. It was a bit difficult to attack Yin and his party. Finally, the real chapters were seen. Their direct military power now has exceeded 150,000, and there is also a three-fold increase in the simple training and a certain equipment base. There is already a hint of threatening Anqing.

Emperor Daomingzong seemed to have a little intention of leaving the Xiling royal family and establishing a country on his own. They were not confident. Once religion was called on and launched an endless harassment war, Dongping might not be willing to pay hundreds of thousands of casualties to fight them hard. The senior officials of Emperor Daomingzong believed that as long as they did not fight head-on with Dongping, relying on the tactic of the whole people, there should be a chance. They knew very well that once Dongping took over Xiling, Daomingzong would face a comprehensive clearance.

When Feng Zi and Yin Li talked, he told Yin Li that a lot of forces had penetrated into the Xiling territory. In addition to a small number of forces stationed in Yejiabao and guarding the Ye family members, Ye Tao's guard camp had 1,400 people entered Xiling. The main combat team and reserve team of the special camp had a total of 4,000 people, all of which entered Xiling. The secret camp established by the inner court guards and Tan family, which were composed of all the experts from all walks of life, also had considerable strength in Xiling. Someone was responsible for inquiring about Yin Zhi's whereabouts. Once confirmed that he was still alive and controlled by Emperor Daoming, there would be corresponding rescue operations immediately. This efficiency also made Yin Li a little shocked. Being able to react so quickly means that Xiling had a quick channel to communicate with Dongping directly. He didn't know that these intelligence personnel were the first to start using wireless telegraphs. How could they have such quick contact? In his opinion, it was a mystery.

It would be fine if Ye Tao went to Anqing to control the overall situation. What surprised Yinli even more was that Tan Weixin and Dai Yun also came with him. It was normal for Dai Yun to come with him. Ye Tao needed a completely reliable and comprehensive military commander around him, and he had to be a successful military officer who could convince the public. Maybe he had to temporarily command the Xiling troops to fight. In this regard, although Dai Yun was a woman, in recent years, few people in the world could compare with her in terms of military achievements. But Tan Weixin also came, but it made him a little confused.

The airship team rushed to Xunshan Pass at full speed, provided supplies, and also turned to another airship team. The airships were all filled with people, and the thirty airships were equipped with nearly 800 elite soldiers carrying simple weapons. In this way, there were so many elite troops in Dongping that Ye Tao could directly command in Xiling, which reached more than 7,000. It was also a very powerful army. What should we do with these 800 people? Yinli never thought about asking, the other party sent thousands of people to sneak into Xiling, what was the matter of getting hundreds of equipment in? Fortunately, he was working with Dongping, otherwise, just knowing these things, he should be furious. Thousands of people, how big a storm can it cause.

In fact, Ye Tao still concealed some of the content. His men had already started to take action in Xiling. Since they knew that Daomingzong was starting to make trouble, they naturally tried their best to attack Daomingzong. The sect demon group scattered into the control area of ​​Daomingzong with a team and destroyed it. The guys in the guard camp were even more afraid that the world would not be in chaos. In two days of action, they had killed four bishops in the twelve major sects of Daomingzong. This was thanks to the sniper rifle, which allowed them to attack hundreds of feet away and then retreat calmly. After the four bishops died, Daomingzong didn't understand what was going on. But so many high-level clerks died, so he was allowed to

Our strategy plan was greatly affected. The structure of the Daoming Sect is different from that of the Leiyin Demon Sect. The Leiyin Demon Sect adopts a system of separate teaching positions, military positions and government positions. The name is the same, but in fact it is not subordinate to each other. Each has its own specialty, and then can coordinate and cooperate with each other. This is also because the Leiyin Demon Sect has a strong interest link that allows the eccles to follow, not entirely relying on religion and idol worship. But the Daoming Sect is different. A bishop is a prince. Although he has to obey the commander, his power is decided by himself. One third of the bishops died in an instant, which caused a lot of turmoil within the Daoming Sect.

The airship team stayed at Xunshan Pass for a day, then set off at night and flew directly to an imperial village outside Anqing. Yinli was worried along the way, and Xiling also had an airship team, but night flight was very unsafe. Flying itself is not a big problem, but without ground references, it is too easy to trek. Now, in addition to Yunzhou, one hydrogen airship and one helium airship each used for technical verification, the use of Ye Tao's first initiative and the continuous development of the perfect hot airship technology is actually just a disguised hot air balloon, and its endurance is still limited by the fuel it carries. Trek has extremely severe consequences.

The airship can be accessed, which gives Yinli the opportunity to observe the style of Dongping ace pilots. As he looks at it, he also sees some tricks. In order to avoid being observed on the ground, the airship team basically turned off the lights and only communicates with each other to the minimum level, and uses light box signals for directional isolation. But the direction of the airship has always been very stable because there has been guidance on the ground. Along the way, strobe light signals can be seen on many hills. Yinli couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Dongping was determined and prepared everything. If he really started fighting, how would he deal with it? However, when the airship technology was not perfect many years ago, Ye Tao bombed Xiling. Now, so many years have passed, it is really not difficult for Dongping's technical system to do this now.

The imperial village was naturally prepared early, but Ye Tao's people really gave the Xi Lingyin family a deep impression. To receive such a large team and mooring a large number of airships, we naturally need to be quite prepared. The imperial village, which was originally used for leisure and summer, could not have such preparations. However, people who wanted to recruit some airship troops to come over, were easily alarmed. Originally, the guy in charge of this matter had a headache. Unexpectedly, three days ago, a team of nearly 300 people appeared at the gate of the imperial village, and entered the imperial village with the agreed secret code, and then stated his identity: the special camp service brigade directly under the Northern Xinjiang Jinglifu... What is even more depressing is that while revealing his identity, Dai Gong, who led this army, also stated that in order to avoid the people in the imperial village leaking news, someone had already controlled the entire imperial village's periphery.

Although there will still be secret envoys to pass this situation on to the Lord Xiling, this deployment has already allowed the Yin family to see Dongping's ability.

The airship team naturally landed on time and did not attract anyone's attention. Ye Tao must be low-key. He is here to solve the problem, not to put himself in a siege. In this imperial village in Xiling, he is actually surrounded by forces with unknown positions.

"Airdrop flow is not that fun," Ye Tao only commented on this. From his silence, he could tell that he didn't think there was really a big danger. The fact is that, if there were really great risks, how could Tan Xiaopei let him and Tan Weixin go to Xiling together? This account is easy to settle. As long as Ye Tao and Tan Weixin are there, it is only a matter of time to guide Chunnan Xiling, but without these two people, even if Dongping continues to conquer Chunnan and Xiling with his huge combat advantage and the inertia of national strategies, there will be no such talented figure to guide and assist Dongping on the development path for decades. In the end, how much Dongping relies on Ye Tao and Tan Weixin's various ideas, only a few people in this country know.

The imperial village has become Ye Tao's temporary command center, and the wind turbine and the radio telegraph were quickly set up. Another morning came, and various troops sent contacts at the scheduled time. This communication method shocked Xiling's generals, including Yinli, to know how to react. But it was more than that shocked them. An airship from Xiling's hinterland also arrived at the imperial village. The airship with only three crew members was loaded with huge wooden boxes. Open the wooden boxes and take out the things inside and splice them together.

, a total of four sets of sand table models were formed: Xiling and the surrounding border, Xiling in the north, Xiling in the south, Anqing and surrounding areas... Dongping's detailed surveying and mapping of Xiling terrain made the military senior officials who were loyal to the Xiling royal family look at it and remain silent. You must know that in the Anqing and surrounding sand tables, even Xiling Palace has relatively rough and accurate drawings... If it weren't for Dongping's dark spy who was proficient in surveying and mapping, they should have been seen from the air... No matter which one it was, it would not be a pleasant thing.

Fortunately, Dongping is at least not an enemy of them now. Seeing these things, the imperial guards loyal to the royal family undoubtedly began to accept the dual command of Dai Yun and Yin Li. Moreover, Dai Yun is basically the main focus.

"Niutoo Village is already under the control of our army." On that night, a telegram arrived at the Huangzhuang.

Yinli asked strangely: "Niuto Mountain? Where is that?"

"The third highest peak of Motianling." Dai Yun replied concisely: "The distance is between 344 miles here, and the road surface is 592 miles."

"Where is that?" Yinli still didn't understand. But the two imperial guards on the side were already looking ugly.

"Prince, that's what the Qi family has made. They occupied the mountain and became kings... But although the place is not far from here, it is still relatively remote. There is only one road in the deep mountains. After the Qi family operated in Anqing for a while, we didn't care." The general named Li explained in a low voice.

"Then why did you occupy there?"

"Tomorrow, thirty airships will be parked at Niutouzhai. If all our deployments are not successful, we can at least let everyone retreat there and fly directly to Dongping, and there is a way out. No matter what, these hundreds of miles can be passed." Dai Yun said indifferently.

"This..." Although I also wanted to praise you for not believing in victory, Yinli couldn't say anything.

"The prince doesn't have to be too hearted. The generals released by the Qi family were emptied by our people three years ago. They slowly penetrated and replaced them. Niutou Village was only more than 3,000 people, plus more than 10,000 mountain people who depended on the mountain village to settle down. Among the more than 3,000 people, two thousand have been replaced by our people. This kind of small formation is not worth mentioning." Liu Yong added with a smile. The one who first ran over to become the second-in-command and emptied Niutou Village, but his closed disciple Shen Luoying is now in his early thirties and has a bright future. Besides, there is Ye.

Tao's friend Guan Huan was there to assist. As for those mountain people, they are now loyal to Shen Luoying. Shen Luoying taught them forest planting techniques, organized them to build groups to reclaim terraces, and established a fair distribution system, so that everyone could live a much better life. For the mountain people who were so poor that they had nothing but life, re-creation of the empathy was not enough to describe their feelings. The mountain people had poor information and had a low recognition of Xiling, and now they did not take the imperial decree seriously. Niutouzhai has thus become the most ideal way to retreat.

As Dongping's various deployments gradually came into place, arrangements with years of foreshadowing surfaced, and the situation became increasingly into a controllable track. The Yin family continued to guide the court quietly, but the palace's vigilance was more than one level higher than before, and the control of Anqing's garrison became tighter.

"If you want to continue to contact those you trust, who else can come in handy?" Ye Tao asked.

"Yin Zhi him now...ah, if he is here, he is the most suitable one. He is smart, young, courageous... It's a pity..." Yin Li thought about it and still sighed. "Is he not at all now?"

"No..." Ye Tao held the latest telegram in his hand, and there were two lines of characters under the dot drawing. One line was a character translated directly, and the other line was a message that deciphered the password based on the characters. "My man has rescued Yinzhi. However, he was broken by Emperor Daomingzong... and let him run around again, it would be a bit inappropriate?"

"What?" Yinli snatched the telegram and read it carefully.

The rescue of Yinzhi is a masterpiece, and it is the result of the cooperation of all parties in the Guards, the Inner Court Guards, the Special Camp and the Sect Demon Group. Although Yinzhi and his party were attacked, they were very talented with a character like Yinzhi. After they were captured, they were locked up in an industry controlled by Emperor Daoming. Originally, it would be fine if Emperor Daoming was careful to be wary. After the four bishops were assassinated, the General Assembly ordered Yinzhi to be handed over to the General Assembly. This made the Zong Demon Group, which was already familiar with the style of Daomingzong's behavior, discover the clues. The Zong Demon Group quickly joined several parties to formulate an action plan.

Leiyin Demon Sect has never lacked people with great incitement, so it is no problem to attract the priests on their own. But occasionally, they dress up as the priests of the Daoming Sect and incite the place. Six soldiers changed their clothes and acted separately. In less than a day, five or six thousand people were brought from neighboring villages, carrying simple weapons and went to "support" the main hall. They just happened to be in a collision with the team escorting Yinzhi and blocked the road. It seemed that these were all real people, and the team escorting failed to recognize the people of the sect demon group among these thousands of people. Instead, they were attracted by the various rewards provided by friendly sects and camped together to rest.

And that night, the people of the Sect Demon Group, together with other parties, concentrated attacks with three times the elite force. On average, each two people stared at one and solved 80% of the entire team in just a moment. After a very brief battle, they took Yinzhi away. However, the team naturally could not carry a telegraph machine. They took Yinzhi for more than 200 miles before they arrived at the contact point and sent the telegraph. They also called the airship at the same time, but they had to wait for the airship to arrive and take Yinzhi to the imperial village, and they probably had to wait a while. The main reason was that the light guidance at night along the way had to be re-arranged again.

However, the rescue of Yinzhi made the Xiling royal family feel relieved. This is not only because Yinzhi is a member of the royal family, but also because they cannot expose the fact that the Yin family is already in contact with Dongping. If Yinzhi had not been rescued, they would rather Yinzhi die directly in that attack. Under severe punishment, all the words can be asked.

However, after this, the situation in Xiling north became further entangled. Emperor Daoming was aggressive, and suffered a considerable loss at once. He immediately took a bite of everything around him. He began to launch attacks on the aristocratic family manors, constantly carrying more and more religious people and civilians who had not trusted him, and accumulated strength. They also launched a large number of assassinations, kidnappings, and attacks. Their targets were not only the Leiyin Demon Sect and the royal family, but also those who only disagreed with the strategy of Emperor Daoming Sect. There could only be one voice in the entire area they controlled!

Faced with the aggressive pressure from Emperor Daomingzong, the Leiyin Demon Sect finally made a direct response. They officially took over all local governments and military power, and moved the escort army to the south with all their might, forming a strong defense barrier in the control area intertwined with Emperor Daomingzong, and advancing step by step, which was very stable. The Demon Sect continued to seek opportunities to assassinate and attack, and constantly putting increasing pressure on Emperor Daomingzong. The entire north of Xiling was no longer something the Yin family could control.

The situation was developing in a worse direction. Several ministers and generals who were close to Emperor Daoming and the army were gambled and finally, under the various coercion and temptations of Emperor Daoming, they entered the other side. With the guidance and cooperation of Emperor Daoming, the chassis of the two states fell instantly. The aristocratic tribes loyal to the Yin family were located in a dangerous area in the mountains. Those who had strong military power could still be held in the village. Those who were not strong had to be carried to save their lives. And here

Under such a harsh situation, the several ambushers in Dongping were unable to contact the imperial village on time. But at this moment, Dai Yun thought about it and decided to mobilize all his strength to solve the problem at once. Emperor Daomingzong exposed all his bad looks, from the time he had persuaded people to be gentle and kind, he believed in the cause and effect to now embark on the path of religious terror. Even those originally shaking strength should now understand who can survive and live well with them.

The king of Xiling was "gretty furious" and imprisoned all the ministers who supported Daoming Emperor in the court, and then ordered the army to be reorganized to conquer Daoming Emperor. The power he could concentrate now was not enough. The army that the Xiling royal family could directly and indirectly control was less than 200,000. Although the combat power was good, they could not compete with the other party's regular army and the mobs that assisted the mob. The garrisons scattered around the country were even loyal to the Xiling royal family, and it was not easy to gather now.

Neng. Fu Sinian led his army to serve the king, and 30,000 troops blocked the north of Anqing, firmly resisting the infiltration and invasion of Emperor Daoming. The royal palace treasury was opened, and rewards were offered to senior officials at all levels of Emperor Daoming, and the rewards for military merits were clearly marked, and they would never refuse. The imperial guards and Anqing garrison troops spent four days cleaning the Anqing city, driving all the religious believers who believed in Emperor Daoming out of the city, enclosed land, and controlled them. And with a comprehensive grasp of Anqing and ensuring the complete safety of the capital, Ye Tao and his party moved the command center to Anqing.

After meeting Ye Tao, the Lord Xiling expressed his hope that Dongping could march as soon as possible, eliminate the riots, and restore peace to the world. Although the current situation is much more chaotic than expected at the beginning, Ye Tao, Tan Weixin and Dai Yun are both tough-hearted and capable people. After Ye Tao asked about the attitude of the Lord Xiling, he had no scruples, and immediately ordered the border defense troops stationed in Zhenzhou in Yunzhou, the tribal cavalry, and the various new recruits in the training camps that were being trained. A fast airship was carrying the secret envoy of the Lord, who would directly send Lei Huang to cooperate with the order of the Dongping army to fight, and let him coordinate the relationship between the Leiyin Demon Sect and the Zhenzhou army, and never cause any more trouble at this time.

After receiving such a "reasonable" decree, Lei Huang and his brothers who had been lurking for many years laughed and finally waited for this day. Originally, the Lei Yin Demon Sect's control over the local sects and the Daoming Sect was not at the same level as the Daoming Sect. Now that there is a legitimate decree that can dispel some of the doubts of the church members, what else can I say? The two high-level priests immediately communicated with the Zhenzhou Army liaison officer waiting in the main hall, and Lei Huang immediately deployed the general mobilization of the Lei Yin Demon Sect.

The alarm bells for the Leiyin Demon Sect distributed in various villages and towns were sounded at the same time. The devout church members and the people in the village took out the hidden weapons and armor, or gathered them with simple food and drinking water, and rushed to the nearest Leiyin Demon Sect. A large number of weapons were distributed and teams were formed. Although the Leiyin Demon Sect only had a state in Taizhou, their mobilization efficiency and the combat effectiveness of the religious people were far better than that of the Daomingzong. Within five days, 290,000 church members formed a military military and rushed to the front line. In these days, the Benlang cavalry, as the pioneer of the Zhenzhou army, had also arrived at the southern border of Taizhou and directly connected with Daomingzong. After Ye Tao arrived in Xiling for half a month, he finally allowed Dongping to take the initiative in controlling the entire Xiling situation.

Two days later, he had just assembled to deal with the Dongping army. More than 300,000 troops were bombed by airships in the mountains. Although Emperor Daomingzong had mastered a considerable regular army and had airship troops, he could not compare with the elites of Yunzhou in terms of airship tactics. In the air force, Emperor Daomingzong was almost at a loss, but the results of the bombing of the Dongping were quite limited. After all, this was already the hinterland of Xiling, and the army in Zhenzhou had no way to build the airship mooring field to the front line, and could not supply the airship's fuel and ammunition nearby. He could only rely on a limited number of long-range airships to bomb. The intensity was quite limited, and the morale attack on Emperor Daomingzong far exceeded actual damage.

However, in ground combat, the first cooperation between the Leiyin Demon Sect and the Zhenzhou Army was quite coordinated. The two armies covered each other, retreated step by step, and seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, scattering the army of Daoming Sect more and more. They ate the scattered enemy troops in small pieces... The battle was from early morning to near midnight, and both sides were exhausted...

At the same time, Dai Yun personally led 3,000 Dongping Guards and 30,000 troops of Fu Sinian to attack the north. Yinli, as the special envoy of Xiling, followed Dai Yun. Dai Yun did not want to defeat Daomingzong at one time, but wanted to disperse and break through the numerous blockades of Daomingzong and connect all the forces supporting the Yin family. Only by gathering enough combat power can they conduct a frontal assault to the north and not want to go too far with the Daomingzong's army. After thinking about it, the king of Xiling simply made up his mind and squeezed out eight thousand elite imperial guards from Anqing's small military force to support Dai Yun. You must know that Dai Yun has too little military force. Even if he opens up the villa farms of each family, it is impossible to gather too many troops. They have scored troops to garrison. This makes her combat power even more stretched. More than these eight thousand imperial guards can she be much more calm.
