After the Xia Guo's Guojing Great Formation was activated, the war entered a brand new phase of stalemate.
Next will be the clash between Qi Xia's forces around each support point of the Guoguo Great Formation, a full-scale war that is bound to spread across the vast territory of Daxia.
And on the entire battlefield of Qixia, there were probably not many who could foresee this.
One of them is Chong Xuan Sheng.

The opportunity he speaks of is right here!
As soon as the flag officer who delivered the commander's orders left, he chose his direction and led the victorious battalion straight to Linwu Mansion. Among the two ten-thousand man divisions of the Autumn Slaughter Army attacking different mansions, securing a position was not difficult for Chong Xuan Sheng at all.
If Chongxuan Zhuliang refuses to agree even to this, then it wouldn't be letting Chongxuan Sheng and Chongxuan Zun compete fairly. It would be helping Chongxuan Zun to suppress him.

The man leading the Autumn Slaughter Army of the Ten Thousand, who was a renowned military general in the Fenghu Prefecture, had only seven thousand men under his command. He wasn't dissatisfied with this. If it weren't for Chongxuan Chu Liang's refusal, these seven thousand men would have been given to some fat Chongxuan fellow!
In short, the "Victory is in Sight" flag waving high was constantly marched forward by Chong Xuan Sheng.
From the western suburbs of Linzi to Tongang City, there is no place that serves as his stage. He has held back for too long, waited for too long.
In this all-out, full-scale invasion war, the Vanguard Corps led by Chong Xuan Zun naturally had ample freedom of action. This was their time to gallop across the battlefield. In terms of martial prowess, Chong Xuan Zun was unrivaled in the army. As for military strategy, he was also undoubtedly brilliant.

But Chong Xuan had already made up his mind —
If you want to turn the tide, now is the time!

He needed to give Chongxuan a good lesson, to make him understand that warfare wasn't just about brute force!

When Si Jiao returned to Tongyang City's watchtower, officials gathered, but no one spoke.
In the midst of Guogu Dajun's radiance, only the revived nine flames of the dragon roared. As if truly sentient, it was venting the pain of its previous defeat.
He stopped it with a flick of his hand.

Purple Extreme Dragon's March!
Yu Jiao felt a sigh escape her lips in her heart.
It can't be said that the summer of Dàxiǎ didn't fight with all their might.
Even with the fall of Jianfeng Mountain in a day and Fengjie Prefecture changing hands in three days, they still managed to erect the Nine Dragons Fire Formation on time. Using this as their center, they built this defensive line in the northeast outside Xiangyou Prefecture, intending to repel the enemy.
The price was the lives of countless workers from the Ministry of Works! Several strategists in Taizu's army, despite already having exhausted all their resources, would rather sacrifice lives to complete their quotas...
Long Jiao, leading the Zhen Guo Army, engaged in a fierce cavalry clash with Qi State's Zhu Feng Army!
Half of his army was killed in battle, but the remaining troops were successfully led back to Tong'an City by him.
Even though the Chúfēng Army still held the advantage, the Zhènguó Army suffered heavy casualties.
But this battle at least proves that the Xia army could stand against the Qi army, and even fight them in open battle!
Qi people are not invincible, nor are they incapable of dying in battle.

But this line of defense was still broken...
It wasn't long after the Zhen Guo army entered the city.
It's hard to imagine the feelings of those soldiers.
Uniting "the path" and marching across thousands of miles, striking from the eastern territories to the southern ones. Such incredible tactics could only be employed by a nation possessing the absolute dominance of an empire.
He was actually secretly startled!
Can over 50,000 Xia army soldiers dying in a blaze of glory hold up the Xia nation's morale
I'm proud of myself, but I can't be sure!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even if one has made enough preparations and put in enough effort, a person can only ever be certain of themselves. The most difficult thing to gauge in the world is human hearts...
But this feeling, which could have been shared with the world in the future, was shattered by him.
He stood on the city wall, gazing at the orderly flow of millions of Qi troops, feeling the artistry of Cao Jie's command.
Still majestic and serene.
He turned his body and gazed upon the imposing city walls of Tongchang City. Beneath them, the remnants of the Zhen Guo army remained steadfast: their horses unyielding, armor unchanged, swords unsheathed, banners dyed red like blood.
These warriors, still awaiting orders, are ready to meet the next charge.
“My generals and soldiers, you fought valiantly in this battle, displaying the bravery of the Xia soldiers!” Si Jiao roared. “Let those Qi traitors know that the Xia people are determined to defend their country and protect their land!”
He, as the King Wu, deeply bowed to these soldiers.
For the vast majority of people in the Xia Kingdom, King Wuwang Si Jiao was almost like a god. No soldier present at the grand ceremony for King Wu felt anything but awe.
But without Longjiao's order, no one moved an inch.
At this moment, clad in armor, the battle flags will determine their will. They stand poised on horseback, swords grasped tight, waiting for the order to charge, or perhaps to die.
Si Jiao answered herself in her heart.
answered the previous uncertain question.
With such soldiers and such citizens, how could the Xia state not hold its ground, how could it not rally to save the country
Si Jiao stood up straight and continued, "I speak the truth. In this battle, everyone's military merit will be doubled. All who die in battle will be treated with respect, and their families will be taken care of. The Ministry of Household Affairs must keep accurate records and not miss a single person. After the war, if there is still a shortage, I will use my entire fortune to make up for it! If even my entire fortune is insufficient, I will go on an expedition beyond death, to the gates of the Ten Thousand Demons, and fight until my true self's ten years, hundred years, or even longer are spent repaying this debt! General Long, please convey this order. Let all the soldiers of Great Xia have no worries for their families!"
Long Jiao sat astride his warhorse, merely removing his helmet and clasping it to his chest. He bowed his head in apparent obedience.
In the vast Tongyang City, there was a profound silence on top of its walls, and an equally deep silence beneath them.
Only the wind blows the battle flag!
“In this battle, the Qí state's most elite Fengchu army suffered tens of thousands of casualties. This is your achievement. History will remember you, Xia State will remember you...and this is just the beginning!”
Si Jiao raised her voice: "Both sides are made of flesh and blood, they will be injured, and they will die! Every soldier from the Qi state, every piece of Dao Yuan stone, has to travel thousands of miles. But we, our feet are on our homeland, our doorstep is a battlefield, and behind us is our home. Billions of people, filling his millions of troops, there is no suspense! Whether it's carrying weapons or biting and tearing with our claws, soldiers, we will surely drive away the Qi thieves and restore Fengjie!"
Drive out the traitorous Qi! Restore the dignity of Fengjie!!!
The soldiers roared with excitement!
This furious shout echoed throughout the entire city, sparking wave after wave of sound.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The military camp of the Shenwu Army was stationed in the city, and war drums were also beating, shaking the sky for a while.

“Soldiers!” Si Jiao raised her hand and pressed it down, calming the surging tide. "Go rest now. The National Defense Array is open, and Tongyang City is as solid as gold. You can all sleep soundly!"
Only then did Longjiao change direction, leading his army back to their camp.
Si Jia watched as the Zhen Guo Army marched away, then turned to face the civil and military officials on the city gate tower. "Since the Guóhuò Great Formation has been activated, don't close it. Our great Xia Dynasty has diligently governed for thirty-two years, filling its treasury and with abundant Yuanshi. Yet, who knows how long this army of a million can withstand the siege Will Qi's bandits manage to tire them out"
Xi Mengfu stood in a corner apart from the crowd, gazing at the Qi army with an unexpected silence.
Once the national defense formation was fully activated during a major battle, there was no reason to deactivate it arbitrarily.
Especially now that the combined forces are invading on all fronts, and rebellions are breaking out everywhere, the Xia Kingdom has no right to close the Grand Protective Array.
Of course, “don’t turn it off,” and “can’t turn it off,” are indeed phrases that will have a real impact on morale.
Although everyone here are high-ranking officials from the Xia Kingdom, and intelligent people at that, King Wu still paid attention to his words... What need was there to be so meticulous
The King Min on the city wall remained silent.
King Wu was still talking, about the upcoming defenses, which prefectures needed to be focused on, and which Qi army characters needed to be watched closely...
Listening and listening, Xi Mengfu's gaze drifted farther and farther away...
Outside Tong'an City, the Qi army camp had been officially set up.
Palisaded antlers, arrow towers and heavy ballistas... each piece of military equipment propped up a temporary defensive perimeter.
The army tents stretched out like another city on the flat plains of Jiangyin.
Of course, this makeshift camp, no matter how large it looked, could not compare to the defenses of Tongyang City.
But the Qi army was not afraid of a field battle at all, and they would even prefer if the Xia army came out of the city to attack their camp.
Night had fallen, but the huge suspension lamp illuminated the place as if it were daylight.
Even the eastern bank of the still-frozen Lianjiang River had camps set up.
The autumn-killing army of Jianfeng Mountain and the Zhui Feng army, who had just finished a bloody battle, were both on the east bank of Lianjiang River, watching the Spring Death Army across the icy river.
The battlefield had already been cleaned up.

One carload after another of soldiers' corpses was transported back to the east bank.
After the soldiers were confirmed as being from the Chinese army, their accomplishments were recorded. — It was so bloody and mangled that they couldn't be recognized even with a close look. Each unit compared them to their roster of missing soldiers, so they could at least have an understanding.
At this moment, a large open space has been cleared on the eastern bank of the Lianjiang River.

All the corpses of soldiers from all armies, gathered on the battlefield, were piled here.

When attacking Jianfeng Mountain, people did die. It took three days to change the flags throughout Fengjie Prefecture and many comrades lost their lives.
But none of them died as many as today.
What scene would be presented with over 30,000 corpses piled together
>
It is a silent mountain!

It is flesh and blood, but also earth and stone.
They are the great swords and spears of the Daqi Empire, also its high walls and thick shields. It is because of them that this empire achieved greatness and maintained its glory, for they dedicated themselves to it.
They laid down their flesh and blood, creating a solid foundation, and upon that foundation rose towering buildings that reached for the sky.
Li Zhengyan was clad in armor, behind him stood a multitude of generals, deputy generals, and commanders from the Zhufeng Army.
Including Li Fenghuo and Li Longchuan, all wore solemn expressions.
The surviving soldiers of the Zhui Feng Army stood in silence, forming many circles outside the pile of corpses.
The crowd parted to make way.
In Yàn Píng's company, Cáo Jiē came armored.
And that road slowly began to close in.
This is a simple text example. Let me know if you have more content to translate!
The three-army commander who led the war against Xia, took powerful and slow steps.
He walked to Li Zhengyan's side, stopped, and bowed deeply to the mountain of Qi army soldiers. This represented the will of the entire Xia campaign headquarters; they would never forget the sacrifice of these soldiers.
Time is up...
Li Zhengyan raised his palm and gently pushed it forward, as if saying goodbye.
Flames erupted on the mountain of corpses, yet he turned his head away, gazing at the distant sky.
This man, who remained unfazed during cavalry charges and bravely led from the front in battle, now couldn't bear to look.
Tens of thousands, burning.
Burning, were their bodies. Lighting up, was the foreign night sky.
All those who fight for their country, all those who strive for their families.
Their ashes will be taken home, giving those who lost them something to remember them by.
Flames roared wildly.
Li Fengyao, who was usually as cold as ice, spoke up at this time and began to sing a war song.
The speckles of blood could not mar her beauty. The flames illuminated her stunning face. In this place where comrades were buried, she blossomed like frost flowers.
The cold voice drifted in the night sky.
Even the frost couldn't freeze the heartache, yet it was so moving.
Including Cao Jie, including Yan Ping, including Li Zhengyan who strained his neck to gaze at the night sky, and all the soldiers of the Zhui Feng army present, couldn't help but speak...
Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of soldiers sang together—
Oh my goodness!

A true man, going forth, need not return!
If the sea wants to bury me, let it bury me.
Today, I am the one who sets out on a journey.
Tomorrow, I shall be buried here.
How, how, and how

Heroes are not the only ones who can sing epic songs in this world.
I was born unable to see my father's sorrow!
When I die, I will shed tears for my homeland from afar!
To be buried in armor is not a glorious death.

The prime minister has learned that he was already yesterday.
How, how, and how

> Are heroes the only ones who can sing of their deeds
Its voice was majestic, its voice mournful.
The singing floated to the east bank of Lianjiang, and soon the camp of the Qiu Sha Army was also filled with battle songs.
>Today's campaign is mine,
> My bones will be buried tomorrow.
How, how, and how
"Are heroes the only ones who can sing long songs"
The singing voice drifted across the Lianjiang River, and then echoed through the vast Jiangyin Plain.
On such a night.

The Great Qi war song surrounded the city of Tongyang.
On top of the city tower in Tong'an City, everyone else had dispersed.
After the National Defense Formation was activated, there were too many things to deal with. Transportation of Yuanshi, garrisoning in various places...
Youping, Yuci, Linwu, Fengli, all places need people...
...that's why there must be strong military officers stationed within the city walls. The soldiers' morale needs to be appeased and the city defenses need to continue being repaired and built up...

Only Liu Xiyi and Xi Mengfu remained here, guarding. One held the seal of the State Minister, the other the decree of the National Teacher, both were crucial to the protection of the nation's great formation... they couldn't be spared.
Even though the city walls were so vast and empty, with only one person standing in the north and another in the south, it felt as if an unbridgeable gulf had been created between them.
The two of them had a long-standing grudge and had quarreled more than once.
Last time at court, the discussions were just a bit more heated...
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Last year, Xi Mengfu led a delegation to the Yellow River Conference. Upon returning, he was scolded by Liu Xiyin, who accused him of poor leadership and damaging national prestige. Xi Mengfu was furious and declared on the spot that next time, he would let Liu Xiyin attend the conference to see what "guidance" the old man could offer!
A faint, hazy glow surrounded her hands. Liu Xiyi suddenly snorted from her nostrils: "Your turn."
The city-wide soundproofing array, while impressive, is also a significant drain on resources.
Xi Mengfu didn't speak, but simply extended his hand and took over the soundproof array.
... and I wonder how long these war songs will be sung.
Liu Xiyi slumped down without a care, leaning against the north wall and squinting for a while.
But the old fellow who could snooze soundly even during the Battle of Guyi City that year, couldn't fall asleep today.

He glanced at Xi Mengfu and suddenly said, “Hey!”
Xi Mengfu turned his head expressionlessly and met his gaze.
This hot-tempered prime minister, who was accustomed to engaging in political battles on the court, frowned and said: "Apologize to me, and we'll call it even."
Xi Mengfu looked at him quietly for a while, and uttered a word from her mouth——
"Get out!"
Liu Xiyi jumped up suddenly, cursing: "You little bastard, how dare you speak to me like that! You have no manners! When I was wearing purple robes, you were still playing in the mud!"
Xi Mengfu ignored him completely, instead staring out at the same direction as Tong'ang City, his expression gradually becoming serious.
As Liu Xiyi cursed, she also looked out and murmured, "What are they doing"

Xi Mengfu sighed a long sigh, the feeling of heaviness lingering in the air for a long time, unable to dissipate: “They were... burying bodies.”
The Qi troops outside Tong'an City were burying the corpses of the Xia army soldiers.
... lay them to rest...
If the dead could enjoy peace, why would the living seek gloryal temple, both happened too suddenly, with no prior warning, and hit their targets with pinpoint accuracy. Although the trouble caused was easily dismissed by the Duke of Qi with a flick of his hand...
