Yingshui is not a wide river, and it cannot even become a moat for Bianhuangji. However, if someone takes possession of Yingshui, they can easily attack Bianhuangji whether they go down the river or upstream. - Ancient times
Transportation and water transportation are the top priority. The dock area is one of the busiest and most important locations in the entire Borderland. If it is occupied by others, not only will external traffic be greatly affected, but the morale of the wilderness people will be destroyed.
Sexual blow.
Therefore, after using his eloquence and power to persuade Murong Ling to retreat with his 30,000 troops, Cheng Peng turned his attention to the two forces occupying the upper and lower reaches of Yingshui River.
The Maitreya Sect occupies the lower reaches of Yingshui River. To be honest, although this army has 15,000 to 17,000 people, its combat effectiveness is not even as good as 3,000 elites. In the religious army, the combat effectiveness of fanatic believers has always been good.
, however, it is impossible for the Maitreya Religion to have so many fanatical believers. Most of them should be just pan-believers. They just join the army for military pay and the opportunity to plunder after victory, or they are simply coerced into it. Even if such an army has a large number of people,
There is nothing to fear in terms of strength. In contrast, the 15,000 Qiang soldiers led by Yao Chang upstream have all fought in battles, and many of them have seen blood. They are already qualified in this era.
The soldiers, coupled with their sincere love for Yao Chang, the unit's centripetal force is extremely high, and its combat effectiveness is far superior to that of the Maitreya Cult.
According to the principle of "picking up weak persimmons", it seems that Cheng Peng should first find trouble with the Maitreya Cult. However, the world of Bianhuang Legend is about martial arts first and then war. The Qiang army is indeed very powerful in combat, but the Maitreya Cult
The leader, Zhu Faqing, was more dangerous than the entire Qiang army - thousands of troops could not defeat Cheng Peng, but he could not guarantee that he would be able to defeat Zhu Faqing.
It should be noted that this Zhu Faqing is the leader of the Maitreya Sect. He is a master of the "Ten-Resident Mahayana Kungfu" and is unpredictable. Recently, he has achieved great success in demonic skills. He once defeated the famous Taiyi Sect alone, and even the leader of the Taiyi Sect, Jiang Lingxu, died in his death.
Under his subordinates, Jiang Lingxu is no ordinary cat or dog. He is the disciple of Xianyun, the first person in Taoism. His fellow disciples include "Dan King" An Shiqing and Tianshi Taoist leader Sun En. As the teachers of those two legendary figures,
Brother, no matter how weak your strength is, it’s not much different!
If there was only Zhu Faqing, even if Cheng Peng could not win for sure, he could at least ensure that he could come and go freely. However, in addition to Zhu Faqing, there are two masters in the Maitreya Sect. One is Ni Hui, who came from the same sect as Jiang Lingxu.
Hui, this girl is Xianyun's daughter, and her strength is probably even higher than Jiang Lingxu; the other one is even more incredible, she is Lian Shiying who goes by the pseudonym Qiao Zong, this person is the top of the current generation of the Demon Sect.
One of the figures, known as the most outstanding figure in the Demon Sect after the former great master Mo Yiming, his current abilities may even be higher than those of Xiang Yutian, who was later revered as the "Evil Emperor", and probably only slightly inferior among the Demon Sect.
"Saint King" Mu Qingliu is just one step ahead!
If these three people were inside the Maitreya Cult camp, and Cheng Peng rushed in rashly, he would probably not be able to come out alive.
So he would rather trouble the Qiang people Yao Chang. At least Yao Chang's 15,000 troops can't stop him from running away and he can come and go freely.
The Cheng Peng people seemed to have turned into an inconspicuous little black spot high in the sky, looking down at the earth like eagles, looking for traces of the Qiang army.
This feeling of flying in the sky and looking down at the earth while hunting was very good, giving him the illusion of being high above.
No matter men or women, they all have a desire for power in their bones, and they all have a desire to be high and look down on all living beings. Cheng Peng is naturally no exception, but he is very well-educated and can firmly control his desire and not let it go.
Interfere with one's own judgment on various matters.
There is a devil in my heart, but I also have a wise sword!
For example, now, he was just slightly happy with the feeling of looking down at the common people, then put aside this unrealistic delusion and focused on finding his hunting target.
The Qiang army stationed by the river upstream of Yingshui was a very conspicuous target, and Cheng Peng found them without much trouble. This army obviously did not intend to serve as the vanguard of the attack on Bianhuangji, and there was no battle in the entire military camp.
The atmosphere was so peaceful that the soldiers were resting except for patrolling. It was clear from a glance that they had no intention of dispatching.
However, it can be seen from the mighty fleet on the military camp wharf that if Bianhuangji is defeated by Murong Ling or Sima Daozi, this Qiang army will board the fleet and go down the river.
Bianhuangji makes a big profit - this is the Hu people's favorite way of war. If there is any benefit, take advantage of it, and if it doesn't, just wait and see.
Cheng Peng hid in a large piece of thick water vapor, and used Kunpeng's power to control the wind and water to forcibly fix the water vapor in the air. From the ground, it seemed that he was hiding in the clouds. Relying on this cover, he moved unscrupulously
Observing the Qiang army camp.
Although the military discipline of the Qiang army is somewhat lax, the camp is well-organized. Whether it is the outer trenches, the deer camp or the camp layout, it is very complete and reasonable. Even if a strong enemy attacks, it will be difficult to break through in a short period of time. It is already known as
Up to the fortress level. Cheng Peng looked at it and nodded in admiration.
"As expected of Yao Chang who founded the Later Qin Dynasty. Although his personal strength may not be outstanding, his ability to march and fight is indeed outstanding. He can be regarded as a famous general!"
If Cheng Peng were to lead troops to attack this camp, he would not be sure that he would be able to break through this camp, which could be regarded as a fortress, if their forces were equal, let alone defeat the army led by Yao Chang who could lay out such a camp.
.Although he also holds the title of famous general and has the powerful ability to defeat thousands of armies, Cheng Peng knows that marching strategy is still not his strong point. The only thing he is good at is mindless charge "Follow me".
Fortunately, what he wanted to do this time was not to defeat the Qiang army, but to force Yao Chang to retreat.
The former is an impossible task, and the latter... at least for him, is not difficult.
After floating in the air for about ten minutes, Cheng Peng screened out about ten targets - a qualified military camp, there must be several main tents to avoid being easily beheaded by the enemy during a surprise attack - the rest are
Be patient and observe.
The officers of the Qiang ethnic group will definitely go to Yao Chang for military instructions from time to time. As long as they observe patiently, it won't take long to determine Yao Chang's specific location.
And...if nothing unexpected happens, there will soon be military information that requires Yao Chang's instructions...
It really didn't take him long.
About an hour later, a fast horse hurriedly ran into the military camp. The knight on the horse jumped down outside a large tent that was not very eye-catching and rushed in.
Cheng Peng looked at the direction the man and the horse were coming from and couldn't help but smile.
"The efficiency is pretty good. It only took such a short time to send the news of Murong Ling's withdrawal."
Yes, the knight came in the direction of Murong Ling's military camp. Obviously, he conveyed the news of Murong Ling's withdrawal to Yao Chang.
This is the reason why Cheng Peng is so sure.
Murong Ling suddenly retreated. This is huge news! No matter which family will treat it with caution, the messenger will definitely send the news directly to the general. With Murong Ling's cautious character, he may even write a few letters to you.
"Allies", fabricate a few reasons to explain, to show respect, naturally these letters must be sent directly.
In the next period of time, there will be a lot of action in various military camps, so as long as he waits, no matter which military camp's tent is escaping his eyes!
Yao Chang is the first, but he may not be the last!
Watching the messenger go in, he no longer hesitated, and put on the Xuanyuan armor and the Demon Spear Army God. Suddenly a violent wind blew up around him, and the whole person was like a golden meteorite falling from the sky, heading towards Yao Chang's big body.
The tent roared and rushed down.
Kunpeng's bloodline was activated at full power. Before anyone could reach the ground, the violent wind he stirred up had already swept across the earth, stirring up wild sand and causing sand and rocks to fly throughout the camp. The soldiers could not even open their eyes for a while.
Although these Qiang troops have experienced wars, they lack experience in dealing with special attacks, and most of them are quite superstitious. When encountering such a strange situation, the first thing that comes to mind is not an enemy attack, but a disaster from the gods. Among the ten people,
Three or four chose to lie down on the ground and pray, but the goals of their prayers were slightly different, ranging from Taoist ancestors to Buddhas, from Immortals to ancestors, everything.
Cheng Peng naturally didn't waste time paying attention to these praying soldiers. He didn't even look at these people for a second. He cut open the large cowhide tent with a single wave of his sharp magic spear and rushed in.
"Enemy attack!"
"There's an assassin!"
Several exclamations rang out one after another, and more than one person rushed over to stop him.
But Cheng Peng was unmoved at all. The spear flashed, and the cold light was like a sharp arrow that could penetrate people's hearts, making everyone present feel terrified. However, what came with the spear was not sharp murderous intent, but as thick as ocean waves.
The secret power immediately knocked back everyone who made the wrong judgment.
Behind the center of the large tent, there is a veteran in his early fifties, with a resolute face and a calm demeanor; and next to him is a young man who looks quite similar to him, but has a bit more of a scholarly air, who is obviously his
son.
It goes without saying that these are Yao Chang and his son Yao Xing!
Cheng Peng shouted softly, rushed in front of Yao Chang, drew his gun and stabbed him.
Yao Chang himself was quite skilled in martial arts. He had time to react even after being slightly blocked by his subordinates. He shouted loudly, raised his foot and kicked the marching table in front of him towards Cheng Peng. The large marching table was hit by the magic gun like a sea.
When An Jin was crushed, he pushed his son away with his left hand, pulled out his saber with his right hand, and slashed hard at the barrel of the magic gun.
With a muffled sound, his saber was as if it had hit an extremely solid rock. Instead of being able to shake the magic gun, it was knocked far away and made his arms holding the sword extremely sore. However, the most terrifying thing was a
A dark force sneaked in the moment the sword and gun met, rushing into the meridians of the arm along the blade, and was about to go straight to the heart!
After just one move, Yao Chang faced the danger of his life!
But Yao Chang is indeed a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Faced with this dangerous situation of life and death, he put aside his sword without thinking and slapped his heart with his hand. Although blood spurted out immediately, his spirit was also low.
He felt a lot sluggish, but he succeeded in dispelling Cheng Peng's dark energy that penetrated his meridians, temporarily avoiding the danger of death.
At this time, his guards rushed up again, including several peak five-star masters and even a six-star entry-level figure!
Cheng Peng frowned slightly and roared, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, shaking everyone's heart. At the same time, he rounded the magic gun and swept it away fiercely. The wild energy swept across the camp like a roaring dragon.
Forcing everyone to be unable to get close for the time being, they freed up their left hands and clenched them into fists, and went straight to Yao Chang's door to hit him.
If this punch had hit, Yao Chang would have lost ten lives. But before his punch could hit, the young man with a similar face to Yao Chang rushed over and blocked his father with his body.
Cheng Peng looked at the mixture of fear and determination on the young man's face, and his heart suddenly softened. When the punch was about to fall on him, his strength turned into softness, and he pushed the young man aside.
Then, his hand supported Yao Chang.
"Retreat!"
