The sky was filled with wind and sand, and murderous intent was rising into the sky. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers with strong armor and sharp blades were chasing and killing each other in this desert.
Corpses littered the fields, corpses littered the fields. Countless gravels were dyed dark red by the blood.
This is the northwest of Yuanlian Realm, called Xi Liyuan. It is not an important place, but it is on the southwest flank.
There is no danger to defend the seven thousand miles here. However, there are more than a dozen large oases near here, which can be passed by large armies.
Zhuang Yu stood tall on a sand dune, silently looking at the battlefield below.
This time it was a great victory! The allied armies of the eastern countries lay dead here, amounting to 130,000!
At this time, the results are still increasing!
Tens of thousands of elite cavalry are following in pursuit. They are constantly dividing, blocking, and driving them away, tearing the opponent's formation into pieces!
And with 20,000 Tiangang swordsmen and 10,000 Xuandu guards as the main force, a full 200,000 infantry soldiers followed closely behind. They attacked quickly! At the fastest speed, they were completely tireless, constantly harvesting lives.
The momentum is strong and the morale and spirit are at their peak!
In just a few months, Zhuang Yu has experienced victory like this dozens of times.
From the initial temptation, to the end, he gradually put aside all assumptions and attacked fiercely.
Dozens of battles, big and small, were won or lost. Like today, even if one hundred thousand people were beheaded, it could no longer affect his nerves.
On the contrary, it was the hidden fatigue on the faces of the cavalry and infantry that made him secretly worried.
In ten days and nights, they marched 4,000 miles. Even the most elite soldiers could not sustain it.
Even if you can win every battle, you will be brought down sooner or later.
And if the prediction is good, they will have to continue to work hard to put out fires in the next few days.
Zhuang Yu frowned, veins popping out on his fists. Finally, he let go and sighed silently.
He has been in the military for many years and has rarely felt so helpless.
With an army that was nearly twice as small in number, it was necessary to guard a defense line that was thousands of miles long.
No matter which direction it is, it's not comfortable.
In fact, in his opinion, the best way is to take the initiative and use offense instead of defense. Attack their vital points and force the opponent to fight decisively!
Only in this way can we make full use of our strengths and avoid our shortcomings.
It’s really hard to cope with the current situation where there are wars on all sides.
But——
Today's Daqian Xianting is really lacking in confidence.
"Commander Yu! I think we can withdraw our troops. Although the enemy is defeated now, our army is also exhausted. We need to be prepared for the possibility-"
The reminder from the army staff came from behind. Zhuang Yu came back to his senses and continued to look in front of him.
There was some hesitation, but he still nodded slightly: "I can order all the troops to stop and rest on the spot! In order to deal with the follow-up matters, clean up the battlefield, comfort the soldiers, and all departments must handle it properly."
In the desert, horses native to Yuanlian Realm cannot run freely, and usually can only be ridden by camels.
However, when Zong Shou arrived at Yuanlian Realm, he brought with him a hundred thousand horses of two kinds, Wind Rider and Cloud Rider. They can travel in the air. In this sandy land, there are no restrictions at all, and they can show their full potential.
.
At this time, the number of Xuanhu Iron Cavalry had increased to seven thousand. After experiencing dozens of hundreds of battles, they had become true Xuan-level Taoist soldiers whose combat power far exceeded that of Xuandu Guards.
Wherever the horses' hooves tread, almost no army can stop them!
Therefore, Zhuang Yu's original intention was to use the superiority of the cavalry here to encircle and annihilate the enemy troops and destroy the elite troops in the northwest, so that the future battle situation would be less stressful.
However, today's result was a bit 'unsatisfactory', or should I say, Zhuang Yu's expectations were too high.
The enemy generals on the opposite side are also extremely difficult to deal with. They don't seem to care about victory or defeat, and they also understand the principle of conserving strength.
Turning his head, Zhuang Yu glanced back at the young counselor who reminded him.
After recalling this person's name and remembering it firmly, Zhuang Yu turned around and headed towards the large tent in the camp behind him.
At this time, Daqian Xianting was not only short of available troops, but also in desperate need of good generals who could take charge of their own duties.
This person is not intimidated by his majesty and can remind him in time. It is obvious that he is brave and knowledgeable, and he is good at it.
But after hearing the sound, there were voices of discussion among the staff again.
"We still don't have enough troops! Otherwise, why would these rabbits have escaped today?"
"It's the fault of those monarchs. The commander-in-chief notified all the countries to prepare their military forces a year ago. But until now, they have only increased their troops by 20%, so what's the use?"
"It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Those guys across the street seem to have endless kills. I wonder where they got such financial resources?"
"It is said that half a year ago, Xuanling Monastery alone came with at least 17 airships and brought 3 million pieces of armor. Am I waiting?
"What's annoying is that the heads of state, when it comes to replenishing food and wages, they push back and refuse to increase taxes! Don't you understand that if there is no skin, how can the general be attached?"
"If this continues, I wonder how long it can last?"
Zhuang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, this time he returned with a great victory.
But is he so angry in the shogunate? If he messes up the morale of our army, he really deserves to be killed!
He wanted to scold him angrily, but Zhuang Yu somehow stopped talking and pretended not to hear it.
You can know autumn by looking at a leaf, and you can feel the changes of the four seasons even if you are ignorant like grass and trees.
If you are a little smarter, you can see the current situation.
How can he stop the thoughts of these people with the force of arms?
There is still resentment in his heart. He only needs to increase his military strength by another 30% and have one million soldiers. He will not be able to cope with such difficulty.
But there is some helplessness. When the king left, the people he chose were indeed very capable people, benevolent and self-disciplined, and also had their own persistence.
Just as He Daoren, the new king of the Xuan Kingdom, said, at this time, the people in the southwest were already overwhelmed. In order to resist the enemy and impose taxes on the people, how is it different from before?
It only takes half a year for the people under the rule to live in poverty and become homeless again.
It was precisely because of the conflict with the ideas in his heart that Zhuang Yu could always endure and support himself.
Shaking his head, Zhuang Yu rode his horse back to camp, and then rushed into his tent alone.
After thinking so hard and staying awake for more than ten days, even he who had reached the immortal level felt overwhelmed. He wished he could just fall down and take a deep sleep to get rid of this troublesome matter.
As soon as he entered it, Zhuang Yu felt a microscopic warning sign in his heart.
With a glimmer of light in his eyes, Zhuang Yu flipped his hand and saw a red gold sword, slashing it to one side!
There was a loud 'chila' sound, and the martial arts that had been honed on the battlefield and experienced thousands of times had made the sword's power condensed to the extreme. But it also let out a shocking sharp roar to warn outside the tent.
And the void was completely torn apart.
But it was not really smashing the void, but breaking the illusion. A figure was revealed inside, with a look of shock in his eyes.
In an instant, dozens of talismans were gathered in the sleeves on the right hand, making the arm as tough as gold and iron, and pointed out with one finger.
A strange force caused the sound waves to disappear without a trace in an instant, and they were all suppressed.
The fingertips collided with the heavy sword, thoughts collided, and the strength was twisted.
Just when the violent storm was about to explode.
However, the figure flicked his sleeves, shattering all the overflowing energy and eliminating it invisible.
He chuckled softly and said: "Shuai Yu is so powerful! His swordsmanship is now the best in the Yuanlian world. But I don't mean any harm. I wonder if Yu Shuai can stop talking to me first?"
Zhuang Yu looked over, then was startled.
"Are you Tianfang Cultivator Tan Jing?"
Although he had never met this person, he had known him a long time ago.
I know that this person actually did not leave after that battle, and always lingered outside the Yuanlian world.
This time, the coalition forces of the eastern countries launched successive attacks, which are inseparable from this person.
But he really stopped his sword. When he first entered the tent, the man in front of him did have some murderous intent.
But when she realized that there was nothing she could do about him, she put down her hostility.
Zhuang Yu also knew that he couldn't defeat this person, so there was no need to take the risk of confronting him.
It's not that he is timid, nor is he arrogant. At this time, the safety of Daqian Immortal Court's foundation in Yuanlian Realm is indeed all tied to him.
A handsome person should know how to cherish his own body.
Furthermore, although the man in front of him can be hidden here for a while, it only takes a moment for his subordinates to notice something strange.
With the combined efforts of everyone, it would be much easier for him to take it down than it would be for him alone.
"Exactly! It turns out that Marshal Yu recognizes me, I'm really honored."
Tan Jing smiled and nodded: "I came here just to talk to Commander Yu——"
Zhuang Yu's eyes were indifferent, only looking at the edge of the epee in his hand.
"There is nothing to talk about between you and me!"
"That's not necessarily the case."
Tan Jing shook his head slightly: "Brother Zhuang, do you really want to hang yourself on a tree in Daqian Xianting? You know the situation in Yuanlian Realm well. Can you last one month, two months, or three months?"
When Zhuang Yu heard this, he felt disdain: "If it's all nonsense, then there's no need to talk about it. How long can we last, what will be the victory or defeat. You and I can see the true meaning on the battlefield!"
"Tan has already learned Brother Zhuang's skills and knows it well."
Tan Jing smiled again, as if he didn't take it seriously: "But in the battlefield, you can withstand several times the enemy with a weak force. But I don't know whether you can defeat hundreds of immortals, solve the dilemma of Yuanlian Realm, and destroy the Daqian Immortal Dynasty. ?”
Zhuang Yu was shocked and looked towards the opposite side in astonishment. What does this mean?
But all they heard was Tan Jing said quietly: "No wonder Brother Zhuang doesn't know! Nowadays, the common people's way in the Yun Realm is in danger. That sect has always brought this sect as an ally, but once the common people's way falls, it will be difficult to survive alone! Where can there be anything left? Do you want to take care of this Yuanlian world? At that time, even the Yunjie Sword Sect and Buddhism will probably retreat. Commander Yu, do you think I am right in saying this?"
Zhuang Yu's eyes were filled with confusion. He was confused for a moment, and he didn't know whether what Tan Jing said was true or false?
"We will never deceive each other with lies! And there is Zong Shou, who has not shown his face for a long time and has not shown any signs. At this time, we don't know whether he is alive or dead. But even if he is alive, Tan Jing can guarantee that this time Zi Jue definitely has no power to turn the tide!"
As if knowing Zhuang Yu's thoughts, Tan Jing looked solemn and vowed,
"Let me ask Commander Yu, do you still want to be buried with this so-called Daqian Immortal Dynasty? Although you are loyal, you can think about the millions of people in the southeast."
In the past, Zong Shou persuaded Zhuang Yu about the future of Yuanlian Realm.
At this time, he is using his spear to attack his shield! (To be continued...)
