Destiny is ashes

Chapter 467: Cut off from Food and Supplies
The reason why King De told An Jing and others all the information about Ku Ji was because he saw that the real purpose of the True Demon Cult was to try to restore some of Ku Ji's power, and then use this power to control the demon weapon "Frost Tribulation" in the center of the Arctic ice field.

Of course, for the True Demon Sect, there are still many difficulties to overcome along the way.

Whether it is the 'forbidden zone' set up by the five Chenli sects around the Arctic ice field, or the ice field hunt held by the North Sea Dragons every five years, or the current action of the five Chenli sects sending their elite troops to clear obstacles leading to the center of the ice field, they are all aimed at suppressing the frost disaster once again.

Even if Ku Ji was really resurrected, it would be helpless in the face of this situation as it had lost all its power. Not to mention that if it wanted to win the resurrection match, it would at least have to deal with An Jing first.

Prince De naturally hoped to resolve the matter at the beginning, but he was more aware of Prince Jing's fate. Although the True Demon Sect was not well-known, its strength was real. The many great demons hidden behind it were enough to stir up trouble in the entire Huaixu area.

If he acts rashly without preparation, he will most likely become the second king to fall in the vast sea in the past decade.

As for King De's caution, An Jing thought it was very reasonable when he thought about the "Devil's Decaying Life" that appeared when he eliminated the big snake.

At the very least, the two great demons, 'Demon Xiu Ming' and 'Demon Jie Xin', who have escaped from their seals, are in the dark. If King De is really arrogant and runs out, and rashly exposes himself, he will most likely be besieged by the demons and even the other parties, and unfortunately fall.

Huai Xu is like this.

The strong men from all sides are high in the sky or lurking in the shadows, and in the mortal world, the armies and disciples of all forces serve as the executors and hands of the strong men's will, carrying out various plans on their behalf that are inconvenient for them to carry out.

The current situation is also very clear. The Chenli Iron Cavalry's occupation of Yujiang proves that they will not launch an attack in a short period of time. They will start the attack only after resting and recovering their strength and stabilizing the land veins of Yujiang.

An Jing also took advantage of this period of time, under the pretext of seclusion to refine weapons, to continue collecting military resources in the Tianyuan Realm, purchasing drones, rocket launchers and various ammunition.

Because the battle in Huaixu may start at any time, in order to avoid missing the start of the war, An Jing will not stay in the Tianyuan Realm for three full days after crossing over to the Tianyuan Realm, but will stay for less than a day. After entrusting Huo Qing and Nian Quan to place an order, he will go directly back to Huaixu, and then cross over to the Tianyuan Realm to get it after the one-day cooling-off period.

The good news is that the ban on the warehouse in Chonggang Town has been lifted.

As today's exploration front and freight hub, transactions here are incredibly convenient. All the various weapons purchased by An Jing are piled up in the warehouse and can be easily sorted and taken away.

The result of this was that everyone in Linjiang City was shocked to find that their City Lord An was actually a genius in refining weapons!

In just a few days, An Jing created a large number of magical weapons with terrifying power. These magical weapons originated from the hands of Ming Guangchen, the master of Tianji of the Mingjing Sect. They can cause destruction comparable to a blow from a martial arts master. Although they require a large amount of spirit stones to drive them (actually they are used for trading), they are definitely worth the money!
Of course, An Jing did not refine any equipment. He was just replacing the warheads of the rockets and adjusting the parameters in the workshop - although it could be considered as practicing, it was not to the level of refining equipment.

But other people don’t know!

"Soldier leader..."

While doing hard labor, the Tieli scout Kuo Yunlu, who was captured by An Jing, saw the power of the rocket launcher - in an instant, the flaming warheads swept across an entire wilderness, and huge craters continued to form, stretching across an entire block. Although it was not condensed, the pure destructive power was terrifying.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Except for the destiny of the Lord of Weapons, what other destiny can be used to refine so many terrifying magic weapons in an instant?"

His words spread among the other prisoners and then to the jailers.

Sometimes the words of the enemy are more credible than those of our own people. At least the enemy will not brag about his achievements and abilities.

"Sure enough, it's the Lord of Arms!"

All of a sudden, everyone in Linjiang City, including those relatives and friends who had long been suspicious, suddenly realized it - for example, Chen Yinzi, he had always wondered when his eldest disciple Mingguangchen became the master of Tianji weapon refining. Now it seems that this might be a statement that he wanted to cover up the fate of An Jingbingzhu!
However, he would not expose this. Perhaps Ming Guangchen was really the master of Tianji?
After knowing this, An Jing felt that it was indeed useful: "This fate can explain my metal and fire evil spirits, and even my future five elements fate - the five soldiers and five elements."

"Moreover, the magic tools of my Tianyuan Realm also have their origins. Anyway, they are all the worlds of the former Dao Court. If you ask, they are developed by the gods!"

As for Prince De, he had already guessed this when he was investigating Ming City, and now he is even more certain of his thoughts: "The frost disaster is indeed the disaster that the Lord of Arms has to face." "Those True Demon Sects may not know this yet... Ha, they will suffer a great loss!"

While An Jing was fully committed to upgrading his military equipment, the cavalry in Yujiang City were also taking action.

The three cities around Broken Blade Mountain are Yujiang City, located in the north of the mountain range close to the upper reaches of Yujiang River; Linjiang City, located in the hilly woodlands of the lower reaches of Yujiang River in the south of the mountain range; and Yinbi City, located on the east side of Broken Blade Mountain and next to a large swamp between Yinbi Mountains.

The Wu army led by Xing Mofeng was stationed at the Broken Blade Mountain and the middle reaches of the Yujiang River. It used to be a big town, and the Wu army transformed it into a solid stronghold, which was connected to the land veins of Linjiang City, forming a pincer attack. They could send out troops at any time to intercept the cavalry that intended to enter the depths of the Broken Blade Mountain.

The two sides are in a stalemate here, and neither side can take the initiative to attack and fight a decisive battle with the other side, which would be an act of seeking death.

But just as An Jing had been eyeing the supplies of the Iron Cavalry from the beginning, the Iron Li people were not stupid either. After they occupied Yujiang City and built a camp, they immediately sent out cavalry to intercept and kill the caravan from Linjiang City.

In the Frost Tribulation Day, neither side can be self-sufficient in food, and relying on the high mobility of the warrior troops to cut off the enemy's supply is what any qualified commander should do.

An Jing had no way to deal with this. Facing the Chenli cavalry that came and went like the wind, all he could do was drive the Yan puppets and build various fortifications and towers with Linjiang City as the center. However, this could only prevent sneak attacks and could not affect the enemy's tactics.

After just a few days, Linjiang City also lost its external food supply. Fortunately, due to the actions of Linlang Chamber of Commerce, Linjiang City had stored a large amount of food, so it could still hold out for a few months.

Not to mention, the Anjing side is definitely not a good group.

On a snowy night with wind and snow, north of Yujiang City, the warriors of Linjiang City, under the guidance of Tie Yuan and the spy An Qianshan, raided Chen Li's supply relay point. The six warriors calmly locked all the enemy warriors.

They had already prepared and set up the rocket launch box. The simple wooden launch pad was a completely disposable product, but it was completely sufficient.

One after another, the flaming rockets dealt a heavy blow to all the Chenli warriors on guard outside the supply point. It was not that they could not detect the rockets, but the attack range of these alien weapons with terrifying amounts of explosives was far beyond the magical arrows they had imagined.

In the first wave of attack alone, eight Chenli warriors died in the rocket launcher bombardment. After the first round of bombardment, two of the six warriors continued to operate the rocket launcher, and the remaining four took the lead and rushed towards the enemy camp that was already in a sea of ​​fire and chaos.

The remaining Chenli team was also a real elite. Although almost all the officers and warriors were killed, the remaining warriors and ordinary soldiers took out bows and crossbows to shoot.

But the warriors of Linjiang City only appear to be wearing heavy armor, but in fact they are all wearing bulletproof straw raincoats from the Tianyuan Realm. Arrows other than black iron cannot penetrate the defense and will only be bounced off by the straw raincoats.

They leaped nimbly, wielding their weapons like a bloody whirlwind, tearing the remaining Dust Soldiers to pieces, then set fire to all the food and grass in the entire relay point and sped away.

Such scenes occurred in many places. In some places, the Chenli people attacked the Dachen caravan, and in some places, the Linjiang warriors raided the Chenli supply line. The cavalry came and went like the wind and could not be intercepted. The Linjiang City warrior team, guided by drones and insiders, was equally elusive.

In response to this, the Iron Cavalry Commander could only strengthen the defense of the supply line, but how could such a long supply line be without loopholes?
What's more, even if these riverside teams fail in the attack, they will scatter a large number of mines on the spot to hinder the transportation of supplies.

This is indeed not good - in the future this land will become a minefield that even Dachen will find difficult to pass through, but the war has reached this point and there is no time to say what will happen next.

That's how it was. Most of the two sides confronted each other with the middle reaches of the Yujiang River as the midpoint, and all the extra forces were used to destroy each other's supply lines. As time went by, winter gradually approached, and the frost and cold became more and more severe.

The situation in Linjiang City was okay, as An Jing could occasionally bring in some food from who knows where, but the patience of the Iron Cavalry was gradually exhausted.

"If this continues, we will be forced to fight a decisive battle with the Dachen Wu Army in the wild."

Kan Hao said solemnly to the True Demon Cult's messenger: "My army is good at surprise attacks. Although a frontal attack is possible, the losses will be huge. You clearly gave birth to that Shenzang Ice Chi and let it absorb the earth vein energy for several months. Can't you even attack once?"
