Chapter 140 The first confrontation, Xiang Yong shows his prowess!
In the game, the Republic of China plane.
Five months have passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, Chu He has further mastered the three second-level formations and refined three sets of formation flags.
However, the formation flag is still only a first-level magic weapon. If you want to advance to the second-level magic weapon level, it will take some time to warm up.
But the second-level formation mage is already there.
Immediately, he chose to log off.
In the early morning, in the main hall of the Demon Hunting Hall, Chu He opened his eyes.
After washing, he returned to the bedroom, took a Bear Soul Pill, closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, and began to practice the Golden Elephant Kung Fu, using the power of Qi and blood to cleanse the bone marrow.
Half an hour later, Chu He slowly stopped working, opened his eyes, and checked the attribute table.
Marrow Refining Begins (Proficiency 2001/5000)
One Bear Soul Pill increases proficiency by 2,000 points. It is estimated that only twenty or thirty Bear Soul Pills can be used to refine the marrow to perfection.
Immediately, the chef prepared the other two bear paws.
The chef is very skilled and the bear paws taste great.
After Chu He finished eating the bear paws, heat rose in his body, so he returned to the bedroom, sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and practiced the Golden Elephant Kung Fu.
Half an hour later, he slowly finished his work, and his proficiency increased again by nearly 2,000 points.
At this time, Chu He took out a Bear Soul Pill again, drank it, refined it, and finally achieved a minor breakthrough in marrow refining (proficiency level 1000/15000).
After breaking through to the level of marrow refining, Chu He's bone marrow cells were strengthened, his hematopoietic ability was enhanced, the speed of qi and blood derivation was greatly increased, and his body's recovery ability was enhanced.
Immediately, he began to practice the Tai Chi Sutra, dividing the Tai Chi Qi into Tai Yin and Pure Yang Qi, and tempering the meridians.
…
At noon, the sun is scorching.
Chu He slowly finished his work and prepared to eat.
At this time, a disciple of the Demon Hunting Hall hurriedly came over, cupping his fists and saying: "Reporting to the Hall Master, the scouts from the front are reporting that there is a large army with red scarves on their heads coming from twenty miles outside the south city gate.
, should be the Red Lotus Army from Qingtian County."
The so-called scouts are the scouts specially trained by Chuhe. Each one is equipped with a horse, and they roam around the county town to monitor the Red Lotus Army.
When Chu He heard this, his expression became solemn. He had also collected information about the Red Lotus Army during this period, and knew that the Red Lotus Army in Qingyang County had now captured six counties, and its military strength had expanded sharply, and there were already one million troops!
Therefore, he quickly sent people to inform the Huichun Hall, Baihe Gang and the county government of the news, and ordered the three major captains to lead three thousand Xiangyong to gather at the West City Gate.
Immediately, Chuhe recalled all the disciples who were hunting in Daqing Mountain and asked them to prepare rolling stones, wood and other materials for defending the city.
Then, he asked the deputy hall leader Xiong Kaishan and the three elders Wei Qing, Wang Yaowu, and Chen Shaohua to sit in the main hall, and he personally led the three elders Zhao Hu, Qian Zhixiong, and Song Mingyang to the west city gate to supervise the battle.
At the same time, after receiving the news, the Huichun Hall, Baihe Gang, and the county government also began to actively prepare for war. Based on their last experience, they each garrisoned a city wall.
…
An hour later, the south city gate was five miles away.
One hundred thousand Red Lotus troops began to set up camp. After resting for half an hour, they divided into three groups and attacked the city from the east, west and north of Qingshan County.
More than a quarter of an hour later, on top of the west city gate, the Chu River caressed the female wall. Looking into the distance, I saw the flags covering the sky in the distance, which was all red. There were probably only twenty or thirty thousand people and horses.
The leader of the Red Lotus Army was a middle-aged general wearing red armor, riding a tall horse and holding a moon knife. He looked at the city gate in the distance, looked at Chu He, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a cruel smile.
The name of the red-armored general is Deng Feng. As a general of the Red Lotus Army who rose from the bottom, what he hates most is those who are above him. Only by trampling them all under his feet can he feel the pleasure!
Chu He also raised the corner of his mouth slightly, because he sensed the depth of this Red Lotus Army general. He was only at the first or second level of the Qi Refining Realm. He could kill him in less than three moves.
This is sure!
However, Deng Feng unexpectedly went against common sense and instead of calling for a duel, he sent out three thousand troops to begin the siege.
At this time, there were only 1,500 troops above the city gate, including 500 swordsmen, shields, archers, and spearmen each.
Because Chuhe had to leave half of his troops for replacement, the soldiers could only maintain their combat effectiveness by taking turns to rest.
Five hundred archers bent their bows and nocked arrows, and fired a volley. The arrows shot out like raindrops, instantly covering a large area, at least two to three hundred of them.
Although the training time is not long and the archery skills of the archers are limited, the hit rate of such a large-scale shooting is still good.
Especially the power of this bow and arrow is astonishing, and the one who hits it will be seriously injured even if it is not dead.
Because the physical training of these archers is close to the perfection of muscle training, and they have a thousand catties of arm strength.
This was all thanks to the demonic beast viscera and demonic beast bones provided by Chu He, which greatly replenished their energy and allowed them to further improve their body training.
After a while, the Red Lotus Army soldiers who walked to the city wall began to climb up the ladder.
At this time, the sword and shield soldiers put down their weapons one by one, grabbed rolling stones and wood, and smashed them down with all their strength.
The rolling stones and wood were so powerful that they were smashed down with a huge force. Many soldiers of the Red Lotus Army were smashed into bloody pieces and fell to the ground. Even the rams were destroyed.
But other Red Lotus soldiers are still attacking, because there is a supervising team behind them, if they don't advance, they will die!
The county seat is three feet high. By the time they climbed up the city wall, more than half of it had been damaged.
And they were just farmers after all. Facing the elite soldiers carefully trained by Chu He, plus the five major Blood Coagulation Realm martial arts masters including Huang Xu, Chen Wei, Zhao Hu, Qian Zhixiong, and Song Mingyang, it was almost a one-sided massacre.
A moment later, a Red Lotus Army general in the Blood Coagulation Realm climbed onto the city wall. Before he could show off his power, a soul-seizing needle shot out and hit him between the eyebrows, killing him instantly.
Immediately, Chu He withdrew the soul-seizing needle, which was a medium-grade magic weapon, and stood with his hands behind his back again. The current situation did not require him to take action.
A quarter of an hour later, after more than half of the three thousand Red Lotus Army had been lost, Deng Feng ordered the troops to retreat.
But above the city gate, except for a dozen wounded soldiers under Chu He's command, not a single soldier died!
At this time, Chu He came over and used pure Yang Qi to quickly repair their injuries.
However, Deng Feng once again sent a low-level general from the Blood Coagulation Realm to lead three thousand Red Lotus troops to attack the city.
But within a quarter of an hour, more than half of the three thousand Red Lotus Army was lost again, and Deng Feng had no choice but to retreat.
Every time we attack a city, the reason why we retreat after half of the soldiers are dead is because if we don't give the soldiers hope to survive, it will cause the soldiers to mutiny.
At this time, Deng Feng also saw that although the number of soldiers defending the city was small, they were extremely elite and were a difficult target.
But he still did not give up, because he had 20,000 soldiers and horses, 3,000 were lost, and 17,000 were left. Especially the 5,000 elite members of his headquarters who had been carefully trained did not move.
Therefore, Deng Feng launched another offensive.
After four consecutive strong attacks, he lost another 3,000 troops, but Chuhe's 1,500 troops also became exhausted.
After all, fighting consumes a lot of physical energy.
Chuhe then replaced 1,500 reserve troops and allowed the tired soldiers to go down the city wall to rest and replenish food and water.
At this time, Deng Feng was preparing to continue the attack. When he saw this scene, he suddenly felt cold. He was originally preparing to exhaust the defenders' physical strength, but the opponent actually still had fresh troops.
If he continued to attack the city, he would probably suffer heavy losses and it would be difficult to capture the city. He had no choice but to order the withdrawal of his troops.
