After the flash of explosion, the rumbling sound of thunder rolled over on the ground. From far away from the side of the main force, the ground was shaking. As soon as the sound rolled past the ground, there was another explosion in the air, and the air wave brought
A huge explosion roared over the main formation for the second time, and the flags were pulled violently.
Jiang Chen glanced at the formation. He saw that the main force of the family and the seventeen offensive and defensive alliances were more than 10,000 strong, and they were accustomed to fighting with them all year round. The Lin family and some allies basically maintained stability. Only the thousands of recruits recruited by the county gentry family had never seen this kind of force.
Everyone's face turned pale with horror from the explosion - no matter how vividly described by the veterans, it can't be compared to the shocking experience of being there.
Jiang Chen knew that these new soldiers had to learn to get used to it, so he directly took advantage of the main force of 20,000 Yin soldiers to be stopped, and led the army to catch up: "Go straight and don't stop."
At this moment, there was a strange roar, gray and black clouds were dense, and fog seeped out. Ye Qing saw this and shouted: "No, these people want to use the magic circle to escape again."
Before he could finish speaking, the enemy troops who had escaped quickly formed their formation and turned into a ball of gray light several acres in size, surrounding all the Taoists and thousands of Yin generals.
I saw the next moment, it turned into a piece of gray fire, as fast as lightning, and quickly moved away.
"These heterogeneous Taoists know how to stick together, and they are indeed much more difficult to deal with than casual cultivators." Seeing this, Ye Qing gave up the pursuit and sighed - even immortals are more powerful if they stick together, so what else do they need to be organized into?
?
Of course, at the level of Dao Lord, you can fight against or even crush the system on your own, but you still need Heavenly Court to take over your life. This is the rule.
"The core of the enemy army has retreated, and the Yin soldiers have suddenly become a piece of scattered sand. You should kill all the remaining Yin soldiers. The number is large, and the heavenly power is not small." Ye Qing ordered.
The communication network during the war was shared by all magicians. Jiang Chen was commanding the large group of Yin soldiers left behind during the encirclement and suppression campaign. At this time, he couldn't help but ask: "Lord, we are halfway through the road. Do you want to build defenses as planned?"
"No, the enemy was defeated faster than expected. We don't need to face the enemy on both sides. We still have some time..." Ye Qing said thoughtfully.
I remembered that when Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty on earth attacked the city in his northern expedition to Youyan, he was dashed away by the prairie cavalry and his vitality was severely damaged. If he had not dealt with this group of evil soldiers, he would not have dared to attack by force even when he reached the ancient battlefield in the west of the county.
Deliberately taking advantage of the waterway to bring a month's worth of food, grass and baggage, the ox-cart array is to prepare for setting up camp for a long time. You can take root wherever you hit, and you are invincible.
Ye Qing was sure that he had raised the Five Elements Chaos Yuan Fei Formation, and Cicada's Moonlight Mystery Circle was in place to restrain the Yin soldiers during the most dangerous night period, which was enough to hold on for more than twenty days... No matter how long it took, he would be defeated.
But the life cycle of Yin soldiers is one month, and many of them accumulated in the grassland for ten days, and it takes several more days to come back. Most of the life spans fluctuate around twenty days. This is a flaw. Who can withstand this?
In twenty days, anyone can turn the tide.
"Chan'er preserves her spiritual power first, don't activate the Yuehua Secret Artifact, Yuan Que... Jingyu first goes to the north to have a look."
"Okay." The gorgeous dragon ball in the sky shook, and the electric light broke through the sky and went north. The Jinyu Pavilion can enlarge the detection range of the real person's consciousness.
She doesn't even have to scout as far as the ancient Beimang Mountain Road, which is a hundred miles away. Thirty miles further is the ancient battlefield, where she can ensure a sufficient warning period for enemies coming from the north.
The county gradually becomes higher towards the northwest. There is a section here where the terrain is slightly flat, making it easier to defend against cavalry dives. However, if you have the choice, it is better to go higher. How far you can go will determine the advantage of the next defense - excellent
The defensive point is on the ancient battlefield in the west of the county. It is not the best and cannot be used as a military tomb where bones have been buried layer by layer for tens of thousands of years.
Zhou Ling did not wait for Ye Qing's response at the front. At this time, she led a group of grenadier cavalry back. She had the latest intelligence updates in this regard: "The imperial court originally set up seven military forts along the ancient road for defense. During the Battle of Nanmo
Five of them were destroyed by the betrayal and sneak attack of the Mur tribe, and the remaining two were withdrawn by Yu Chengen in the past half month with excuses. Young Master, you know that the combat effectiveness of the veterans of the border army is much better than that of the county soldiers, and only two beacon towers are left for defense...
"
"Just to show off to the state, these frontier garrison soldiers won't have any chance of fighting."
There was no fluctuation in Ye Qing's voice. Combined with the abnormality of the enemy's retreat style, as expected, most of the old soldiers left behind were already unfortunate. This is a typical Yu family style, or a typical aristocratic family style - sacrifice those who can be sacrificed.
As long as you still have power in your hands, you can recruit again when the cannon fodder is gone.
"Jingyu, don't fly too far."
"I know..." Jingyu would not be as impulsive as his sister, and stopped at the ancient battlefield in the northwest.
The dragon girl in yellow clothes stood with her eyes closed in the center of the Five Qi Spirit Pond at the bottom of the pavilion. With the blessing of a trace of fairy spirit energy from the Qibao Immortal Pond, her spiritual consciousness almost reached the level of Yang Shen Zhenren, which was thirty miles away. At this time, she looked down at the Yin Qi below.
With the tide, Yin soldiers kept pouring out, and for a time the total number of Yin soldiers left behind was only a few thousand.
Dozens of Yin generals noticed the shiny flying objects in the sky. They were disgusted by the fairy spirit and roared at the thing in the night sky. A few Taoists from the outside world who stayed behind raised their heads on the central altar, and their expressions changed...
Jingyu thought for a while, smiled slightly, and directly landed the Jinyu Pavilion in the center of the ancient battlefield. With a bang, it took root on the altar and instantly sealed and closed the underground passage of the ancient battlefield.
Thousands of Yin soldiers were too few in number and were attacked by a continuous stream of ice arrows. They fell down like grass. A few Taoists from the outside world saw that the situation was not good and ran away quickly. Jingyu ignored them, but noticed that they were escaping.
The direction...is northeast
"Husband, I have discovered the enemy's situation. They are thirty miles northeast of me and fifty miles directly north of you. They are the cavalry in the Yin soldiers. Now they have stopped and turned to the ancient battlefield. It seems that they have received news of failure..."
Ye Qing's voice came from the information tray in her hand: "How much is the quantity?"
"The number is thirty thousand and so on. There are ten thousand troops twenty miles directly north of me. They are not Yin soldiers... they are state soldiers stationed there."
"Stand still?"
The small battle thirty miles to the southwest was coming to an end. Due to the lack of elite Yin generals and Taoist masters, the seven thousand Yin soldiers at the rear were quickly eliminated by Ye Huolei.
Ye Qing even asked the magician group to join in the area spell cleanup. At this time, he frowned at the actions of the state soldiers. He quickly spread out the military map and immediately understood the other party's intentions: "If you do this, it turns out that... it is aimed at me, and you think that the heaven is like heaven."
Are you blind, or do you think that self-confidence can wipe out the end, and the merits outweigh the faults?"
"Lord, are you still pursuing?" Jiang Chen asked. He felt that the pursuit speed of the main infantry could not match the support speed of the enemy's cavalry. Now the same distance would definitely not be able to keep up with occupying the ancient battlefield. Or going with the elite first was also a strategy to break the situation, but
This involves the safety of the Lord and is not a decision he can make.
Ye Qing thought about it and said: "According to the fifth plan, you will lead the main force on a rapid march, and I will lead the cavalry and the first-level magician regiment."
"The latest news has been transmitted from the Northern Wei Dynasty," the magician accompanying the team shouted urgently, and everyone's eyes were focused on his face.
"The state capital is relaying news. Officials and our secret lines in the state city are communicating that a large number of underworld soldiers have been found on the edge of the Southern Desert. The investigation is estimated to be..."
The magician held the main information disk and accepted it quickly. His face suddenly changed and his voice trembled: "It's four hundred thousand. They are using the banner of Honshu to spread their horns."
Instantly, a kind of coldness arose in everyone's hearts. Four hundred thousand... can be split into two large formations.
The enemy commander who disappeared more than ten days ago finally returned with great momentum after a cross-state strategic detour, shrouded in the shadow of death.
"...The entire army has moved south, heading towards Nancang County..."
This is the worst case scenario...
Ye Qing looked up speechlessly, knowing that his power capital could not participate in the interstate stage, but he could not prevent the enemy from using it effectively. War is not fair in the first place. As for the Heavenly Court... there is no fight. How can we really expect it at this time?
Immortal takes action?
Do you really think that immortals are human nannies?
"My lord, we must defeat this forward army," Jiang Chen said urgently. He could certainly see several key points in his preparations, but when it came to his lord's personal involvement in danger, he could only hint at it.
Ye Qing drew out the Scarlet Sky Sword, the golden and red patterns reflected his young face, and a little light lit up in his heart. It was always difficult for people to stick to the original plan under huge pressure.
But after only a moment of hesitation, Ye Qing glanced at the convoy of baggage trains behind him, confirmed all the preparations he had made before, touched the hot blue sky dish in his arms, and gritted his teeth: "Chase, follow the plan.
"
The black dragon horse turned around on the official road, followed the escape path of Taoist Bai Lang, and galloped towards the ancient battlefield in the northwest. His voice fell on Jiang Chen's ears in the wind: "It's still the fifth plan, pursue it to the end...
Occupy the ancient battlefield in the west of the county and summon heroic spirits to resist the enemy army."
"yes"
Jiang Chen lowered his head, sincerely convinced that this was his lord.
While running all the way, Ye Qing looked back and asked Zhou Ling: "Have the volunteers been selected?"
Zhou Ling is now in charge of all the Qi training Tao soldiers under the Jiangwu Hall system. Because she officially defeated Jiang Chen in several Jiangwu Hall competitions, she is considered to be the most powerful in the army and convinced the Qi training veterans.
His iceberg-like temperament can also keep Qi training recruits in check.
But the powerful young swordsman who is cold in front of others always loses a lot of her coldness in front of the young master. Although she doesn't have many expressions, she can still say more: "The choice has been made."
The girl raised her head and glanced at Ye Qing. She thought for a while and then added: "Actually, there is no choice. Basically all the more than a thousand Qi Tao practitioners in our family have volunteered, and I heard that the quota is limited, so other families can't help but compete for these volunteers."
Quota..."
Ye Qing was surprised: "You didn't tell them clearly about the risk of being possessed by the magic weapon, or are you really not afraid of death?
"I've made it clear." Zhou Ling lowered her head and closed her eyes, speaking calmly: "But Master, you have forgotten that down here, our lives are... worthless."
Only the young master would care... She touched her heart and added in her heart.
The cold summer night wind was blowing, Ye Qing was riding on his horse, looking at the deep dark night, and said nothing for a while.
"When will the general come over?"
"He is persuading more military souls from the ancient battlefield to join, and he said that it is the deepest time of night and he will arrive at midnight."
