After Wu Dun retreated, the town turned into charred black.
Cao Su, wearing black armor, stepped on the ruins of the town.
"This Wu Dun is really cruel. He will burn down a small town as big as Nuo."
Beside Cao Su, Zhang Ke, Li Li and others were waiting quietly.
Zhang Ke said bitterly: "My lord, Xinfeng Town was burned down and the enemy troops retreated. It seems to be an attempt to 'lure the enemy deeper'."
Zhang Ke didn't understand the art of war before, but now that he has followed Cao Su for a long time, he has begun to think about himself.
You can also master words like luring the enemy deep.
"No matter whether they tempt or not, General Fan Long will not advance any further."
Although Cao Su had not been in contact with Fan Long for a long time, he basically understood Fan Long's thoughts.
At this moment, Fan Long's partial division has already exceeded its assigned tasks.
After Liu Chuang, who was captured the day before, was sent to General Right's army, the only thing left to do was to guard the main road and wait and see what happens.
Another meaning of "wait and see what happens" is to wait quietly for orders from superiors.
After the charred town, there is the wilderness of Lushan.
Fan Long blew the trumpet and led his army to march a few miles to camp.
It was rooted in a slightly higher ground, with a high and low square. It was buried deeply as needed, and the roots were repeated to bridge the gap.
This is the more common Muzha camp, which is a relatively temporary way of encampment.
A large number of soldiers helped set up camp, and soon the camp was set up in the dark brown wilderness.
Looking towards Antarctica from the camp, it seems that we have faintly seen a towering mountain.
That should be Lushan, which straddles the north-south boundary and blocks the Wanping Army's northward and westward advance.
........
The time is in the ninth month, and the sequence belongs to the third autumn.
When the water is gone, the cold pond is clear, and when the smoke condenses, the mountains are purple at dusk.
In Mucha camp, Cao Su lived in a big tent.
The two armies fought fiercely, and although Qin Hu led his army to join the battle, there was no sign of it ending in the short term.
The General of the Shrine is not a kind person, and the magic circle he set up covers the entire battlefield.
If Fan Long doesn't move, Cao Su won't move.
More than 10,000 elite soldiers under his command were stationed here from now on, and there will be no other actions.
Cao Su spent half a day in the army training his soldiers, and the rest of the time he practiced like crazy.
Hard training accelerated Cao Su's internal energy accumulation at the sixth level.
The internal energy in his body gradually filled up, and he quickly moved towards the target that was three feet away from his body. It was actually a few minutes faster than he had previously expected.
With more internal energy, the internal organs will be further warmed and strengthened.
His iron-like strong muscles also became more powerful.
Cao Su is making progress every day, and the aura from the middle level of the force realm is getting stronger and stronger, creating a visibly oppressive feeling on all sides.
Zhao Xi, who was guarding outside the camp, clearly felt that Lord Cao's strength had improved in the past few days.
Across the tent, without any active pressure, they were almost breathless.
But under the pressure, many soldiers also got training.
Among Cao Su's soldiers, after practicing close to Cao Su, many of them broke through to the realm of Qi and Blood.
A sudden burst of Qi and blood may seem simple, but for many soldiers, it is a substantial change.
It means changing from an absolute cannon fodder on the battlefield to a cannon fodder that can scream in agony.
Once your Qi and blood are released into the world, you can enter some high-risk and high-income professions such as escorting and nursing.
A breakthrough in Qi and blood would not be of any help to Cao Su now.
What he needs is someone under his command to achieve a breakthrough in strength.
But the force realm is not so easy to break through. Looking at Fan Long's entire army, only two people have completed the force realm breakthrough in August.
This yield is very low.
If there is no external supplement, the entire army will only produce about twenty power realm masters a year.
But many Lijing died in the war. Since the war, I don’t know how many Lijing have fallen on this land.
Of course, most of them are still low-level warriors.
If you reach the middle level of strength realm, you will be the middle-level cadres of Lushan Battlefield.
The middle level can have a little bit of autonomy. Unless they encounter a high-level force realm, they can basically save their lives if they just want to escape.
Cao Su needs time and precipitation.
These days I worked hard to cultivate in the army, and more than ten days passed in a flash.
The latest news of the battle between the main forces in the south came from the army.
"The right general Qin Hu and the Shen Palace general are fighting for the fifth time."
"The two armies each won two games before. Now in the fifth battle, Qin Hu has the upper hand, beheading thousands of people and forcing the Shenggong general to retreat to the camp."
........
Wanping Army Camp.
The main tent of the shrine shogun.
All the commanders of the army gathered together, and the general of the palace on top of the commander's seat closed his eyes to rest and remained silent.
The people below each offered their own suggestions, but no one could convince anyone else, and the quarrel was endless.
"In my opinion, Qin Hu should be defeated first. Although Qin Hu's army is fierce, it only has 50,000 or 60,000 people. Yuanzong occupies a strategic position and defends Lushan, so the battle will not be easy."
"No, right now Yuan Zong is watching with eager eyes. That awe-inspiring righteousness stone shines brightly every day. It has been staring at our army camp for a long time. If our army is too divided, Yuan Zong will definitely take advantage of the situation. Without the base camp, we will
How can we gather four to five million people together again?"
After a long time.
General Jingu opened his eyes.
When the people below saw this, they all fell silent.
No matter how noisy they were, they still had to listen to General Jingu's words. Jingu was the commander-in-chief of the army, and he would hit whomever he said.
Everyone focused their attention on the shrine.
Shengong shook his head and said: "We have fought several battles with Qin Hu, and you have also seen the combat effectiveness of Qin Hu's army."
"If our army has no way to help him, we will have to use at least several times our strength to defeat him."
"But Lushan Yuanzong must be on guard. The imperial court is sending more and more troops to Lushan. This battle will not be easy to fight."
In just a few sentences, the shrine revealed the current predicament of Wan Pingjun.
In the final analysis, the gap in combat effectiveness between soldiers is too great.
The officers and soldiers of the imperial court are all well-trained warriors who have practiced for many years.
Although the Wanping Army was huge in number, more than a year ago, many of them were just ordinary farmers.
After hearing this, the handsome men all changed their expressions.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I feel that what the shrine said makes sense, but what should I do?
"We have no other choice but to rely on the Ten Thousand Ghosts Array."
"If the magic circle is completed, the army's combat power will be doubled, and there will be a chance of capturing Lushan. If the magic circle is not completed, no one will be able to escape defeat in the future."
What the Wanping Army can ultimately rely on is the foundation of the Wanping Sect.
Everyone fell silent, thinking of the dark clouds lingering above their heads all day.
Since the Ghost Sect settled in Wanping Sect a few years ago, the atmosphere of Wanping Sect has changed.
Almost all of the outstanding Taoist disciples, including Shen Gong, have practiced the Taoism of the Ghost Sect.
Weird, dangerous...
The Taoism of the Ghost Sect is very lethal, but most of it goes against the harmony of heaven.
The Ten Thousand Ghosts Array, hearing its name, doesn't sound like a decent approach.
Especially considering the meaning of the Shrine, the final destination of this magic circle is still an army of 40,000 to 50,000 people, which is even less likely to be a good thing.
Everyone was submissive, and under such circumstances, they did not dare to disobey the palace.
I could only echo a few words sparsely.
The shrine suddenly said again: "I heard that Wu Dun has retreated to Jiuling Bridge?"
Wu Dun was one of the few Daqu commanders sent abroad, but he was driven all the way to Jiuling Bridge by more than ten thousand officers and soldiers.
The Jiuling Bridge is very close to here, only forty or fifty miles away at most.
And the Wanping Army's companies and camps are dozens of miles away, so what kind of expat is this? Is it just right at your doorstep?
Several Qu commanders heard the dissatisfaction in the words of the shrine. One Qu commander, who had a good relationship with Wu Dun, excused him: "General, the officers and soldiers are fierce. Although Wu Dun has suffered repeated defeats, his subordinates have basically never suffered defeat.
Losing too many troops is considered a bit of hard work."
As soon as Jingu heard this, he immediately glared angrily.
Qu Shuai, who opened his mouth to speak, was stared at with fear. Knowing that he had made a mistake, he immediately shut up and said no more.
Shen Gong said slowly: "Wu Dun neglected his martial arts practice and was getting fatter and fatter. I originally thought of sending him out to raid the north. It would be best to cut off the Cangjiang water transportation of officers and soldiers. I didn't expect that he was so unsatisfactory that even I sent him
Liu Chuang was given to him, but he failed to make good use of it, resulting in failure and defeat along the way."
"With this level, what else can he do to be handsome?"
As soon as the shrine said this, the whole hall was shocked.
It’s not like the top ten coaches have never been replaced. Hu Rong was replaced before.
Now that the palace is mentioning this again, is there any intention to change the leader?
Everyone's thoughts were racing and they lowered their heads, fearing that they would be targeted by the palace at this time.
However, Shengong's thinking was very fast, and he quickly took over this topic, only gently raising everyone's alarm bells.
He sneered and said: "I heard that Wu Dun was defeated by three thousand soldiers in Yangchuan for dozens of miles."
"The person who killed him was Cao Su."
"Cao Su is a young man with some courage. He has killed many of my generals. He also killed Hu Rong and Gu Bo before."
"The more than 10,000 partial troops in this branch to the north cannot continue to be allowed to escape."
"Is there any general who is willing to lead troops and help our Marshal Wu?"
You may not be able to defeat Qin Hu, but if you defeat Fan Long or Cao Su, isn't that easy?
As soon as everyone's eyes rolled, they became energetic in an instant, and they had to pick on the soft persimmons. At this time, if you don't win a partial division and share the worries for the general of the palace, how long will it take?
So immediately there were several Daqu Commanders below who stepped forward.
He cupped his fists and said loudly: "General, a mere partial army is so arrogant!"
"I would like to go to the north and kill Fan Long and Cao Su immediately and take their heads!"
