Lieutenant Yu Yi clasped his fists and said, "Master Chu, half a month has passed. Can we send out troops?"
Chu He smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, Lieutenant Yu. Since Chu has agreed to send troops, he will never go back on his word! At present, the food, grass, weapons and armor are all ready, and we will send troops to Heishui County immediately to attack the home of the Red Lotus bandits!"
When Yu Yi heard this, he clasped his fists and said goodbye.
After a while, Chu He summoned Li Changsheng, Xiong Kaishan, Guo Wentao and other leaders of Qinglong, Baihu, Xuanwu Hall and other high-level officials above the Blood Coagulation Realm martial artist.
Among them, after Xiong Kaishan refined 5 Bear Soul Pills, he reached the completion of the Gang Refining Stage. Under the guidance of Chu He, he advanced to the Qi Refining Realm and became the master of the White Tiger Hall.
In fact, the main difficulty in breaking through the Qi refining realm is to open up the mysterious orifice, but Xiong Kaishan's soul cultivation level has broken through to the True Form realm. He borrowed the breathing and breathing Qi training method taught by Chu He to directly transform the innate Gang Qi, and the breakthrough was like this.
easy.
Wei Qing, Zhao Hu, Han Feipeng, Chen Shaohua, Qian Zhixiong, Wang Yaowu, Song Mingyang and Huang Xu, Chen Wei and Liang Xing have all made great progress in their cultivation.
Wei Qing and Zhao Hu, two veteran Blood Coagulation Realm martial artists, have both reached the Gang Refining Stage, and the other Blood Coagulation Realm martial artists in White Tiger Hall have also reached the Marrow Refining Stage.
Chuhe decided to leave two hall masters, Li Changsheng and Xiong Kaishan, to stay in Pingshan County, and then he led the three major captains Guo Wentao, Wei Qing, Zhao Hu, Han Feipeng and Black Dragon Guard to go on an expedition.
Chu Ming will also go out with the army. Firstly, he will experience the dangers of the battlefield and gain some experience. Secondly, it will be safer to stay with him than to stay in Qingshan County.
As for the strength of the troops, there are mainly 3,000 Black Dragon Guards including 300 Black Dragon Riders, and 2,000 ordinary soldiers led by Wei Qing and Zhao Hu are responsible for transporting grain and grass.
A total of five thousand soldiers and horses set out to fight!
Three hundred Black Dragon Riders took the lead, followed by the other Black Dragon Guard heavy infantry. All of them had iron armor and quasi-magical weapon-level Black Dragon Swords, and the lowest level of cultivation was bone refining.
Finally, there were two thousand ordinary soldiers, all of whom had achieved a minimum level of muscle training, escorting the grain.
However, Chu He and Chu Ming rode in a carriage in the middle, with Xue Longju in charge of pulling the carriage.
In the carriage, Chu He sat cross-legged and practiced, compressing and condensing Tai Chi Qi.
He must strive to complete more than three times of condensation and condense the true essence of Tai Chi before the battle with the Red Lotus Saint.
Condensing true energy is quite difficult for ordinary great martial artists who have perfected the Qi Refining Realm, but his soul cultivation has already reached the Yin Shen Realm, and his soul power is extremely pure, comparable to a strong man in the early stage of the Golden Core. In a short period of time,
It is not difficult to complete three times of condensation in one time.
Because of this, Chuhe's five thousand troops marched very slowly.
At the same time, Ding Yaoyang, the governor of Qingyang County, personally led 50,000 elite troops from the county seat to the south.
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.
The 50,000 county troops led by Ding Yaoyang and the 5,000 troops from Chuhe met in Qingtian County.
After a while, Chu He got out of the carriage and met Ding Yaoyang who was coming on horseback.
Chu He looked at Ding Yaoyang for a moment. He was a middle-aged man with a rather elegant face and a warm smile on his lips, but his martial arts sense could sense the pure blood and the extremely hot pure innate energy in his body.
gas.
This is a top expert at the pinnacle of the Qi Refining Realm, and he is also an old man!
At the same time, Ding Yaoyang also looked at Chu He for a moment, and said with a smile: "Master Chu is indeed a young hero! At such a young age, he is already a master, which is truly admirable!"
Chu He smiled and said: "Master Ding is even more secretive, which makes Chu admire him endlessly!"
Immediately, the two men looked at each other and smiled, and then led the two armies to continue south to attack Qingtian County.
Heishui County, the base camp of the Red Lotus Army in Qingyang County, is just south of Qingtian County and connected to each other.
To defeat Heishui County, we must attack Qingtian County!
Half an hour later, Qingtian County, the county government office.
The Red Lotus Saint sat in the main seat, with a group of Qi Refining Realm generals on her left and right.
Qingshan County soldiers and horses and the county soldiers of County Guard Ding Yaoyang have all been dispatched. Naturally, they have received the news long ago, so they are waiting here!
Immediately, a guard came in a hurry, cupped his fists and said: "Sir, the enemy troops have arrived five miles away from the county town. It seems that there are at least 50,000 troops!"
A middle-aged general wearing red armor clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the last general is willing to lead his army out of the city to fight!"
The Red Lotus Saint shook her head and said: "The enemy is coming fiercely, we only need to hold on to the city and wait for work, and we can defeat the enemy!"
The generals were extremely convinced of the Red Lotus Saint, and they all clasped their fists and said, "Yes, Your Lady Saint!"
A moment later, on the city wall at the north gate of the county seat.
The Red Lotus Saint and a group of generals stood behind the female wall, staring at the densely packed army in the distance.
Among them were thousands of troops, all in black armor and holding swords and shields. They were the Black Dragon Guards of Chuhe.
The Red Lotus Saint secretly thought in her heart, what an elite division!
The county guard Ding Yaoyang let the 50,000 county soldiers repair for a while and began to order the attack on the city.
Three thousand county soldiers began to attack the city with ladders and chariots.
They had brought siege equipment before setting off.
However, there were 100,000 Red Lotus troops in Qingtian County. Even if the county soldiers were more elite, they could not break the city. They were repulsed several times after they climbed onto the city wall.
Normally, in this case, the enemy would be defeated by powerful generals ascending the city. But at this time, the Red Lotus Saint was sitting at the city gate, and the powerful generals at the Qi Refining Realm Great Martial Master level could only kill people if they went up.
Therefore, Ding Yaoyang came to Chu He's carriage, clasped his fists and said: "There are too many thieves in Qingtian County now. If we want to break the city, we must kill the Red Lotus Saint to break the morale of the army. Please also ask the Master Chu for help!"
Chu He slowly finished his work, opened his eyes, and got out of the carriage with Chu Ming. He said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Ding, the Red Lotus Saint will be left to me!"
Immediately, his figure flashed, appeared in front of the two armies, and said loudly: "Red Lotus Saint, do you dare to come out and fight!"
The Red Lotus Saint smiled sweetly and said: "If you want to have a decisive battle with me, I'll wait until you get to the city gate!"
When Chu He heard this, he flashed his figure and used Qing Gong to rush towards the city gate of Qingtian County.
At this time, dense arrows shot from the top of the city towards the Chu River like raindrops.
A white shield of true energy appeared on the surface of Chu He's body, blocking all the arrows. He rushed toward the city gate like a phantom at high speed.
At this time, he has completed three times of condensation, and Tai Chi Qi has been liquefied into Tai Chi Qi, which is currently low-grade Qi.
At this time, the Red Lotus Saint took out a red divine bow from the Qiankun Bag, drew the bow and nocked an arrow, and aimed at the Chu River.
With a whoosh, a dark iron arrow burning with red flames struck at him at great speed.
Chu He suddenly drew his sword, condensed the Tai Chi essence into the Han Soul Saber in his hand, and slashed it out at extremely high speed.
The silver sword flashed, and the red arrow was evenly cut in half.
On the city wall, the Red Lotus Saintess raised her lips slightly and praised: "Good sword skills!"
After she finished speaking, she put away her bow and arrows and drew the long sword from her waist.
The sword is more than three feet long, the body of the sword is red, and it exudes an extremely hot and sharp energy. It is a second-level magic weapon.
At this time, Chu He had already rushed to the moat of the city gate. He tiptoed and rushed to the city gate in a flash.
The Red Lotus Saint suddenly swung her sword, and a foot-long red sword energy struck Chu He's neck at high speed.
