As an earthy yellow stream of light suddenly rolled through the already silent camp like a tornado, Qu Tuda, who was about to rest, was frightened for a moment, and almost instinctively wanted to fly into the air to deal with the enemy.

However, due to the qualities he had developed in the military camp for many years, he still suppressed this impulse, picked up his side armor, hid in the side tent, and asked his personal guards to help put it on... After all, practitioners are also human beings, and the Dantian is really

Qi is limited, and many masters have died after running out of Qi. Back then, one of the ancestors of the Xie family, who was astonishingly talented, fought all the way from the Yangtze River to the bank of the river, and even broke through the great master in battle, but still exhausted his Qi and blood and died on the battlefield.

...In comparison, a layer of iron armor itself is a body-protecting Qi that does not require much consumption of Qi. An iron spear is comparable to a piece of Zhen Qi transformed into shape, and is even more effective.

It was this act that saved Qutuda.

This is not to say that his armored spear had any immediate effect, but that just by piercing the armor, he successfully avoided the army's trap - in fact, when the Dongdu Pioneer General had just finished donning

At that time, when the camp outside was also in chaos, suddenly, there was a huge pressure of true energy coming from the other side of the river out of thin air. Its force was as big as some huge wave rising from the sky and hitting us head on at night.

The man staggered out of the tent, and when he looked in the dark night, he saw a huge purple curtain with a dim light, and dozens of stars attached to it. It turned over from the river, and he didn't know where it was. Someone had just crashed into the lake.

The alarm drove away the fish, and now the big net follows closely behind!

If he had been the first to face the enemy and was entangled by others, and the purple curtain rushed towards him, his life or death would have been uncertain.

However, at this time, Qu Tuda was not only afraid of the aftermath of the disaster, but also clearly felt that he was overwhelmed by the collapse of the mountain ahead.

This is the effect of a night raid.

The generals were unable to effectively convey orders and organize defenses. Ordinary soldiers lost their vision and were completely unable to realize the number of incoming troops in the dark... More importantly, Qu Tuda knew exactly where the opponent's hard power lay. As a general, he

From the perspective of combat power, it is vulnerable. Let alone trying to organize a defense, if it just shows up, it will probably be quickly targeted and eradicated.

In the dark night, the only thing he could do was to keep silent, hide in the messy tent, and watch his troops be dispersed from the camp that was not strong in the first place.

A quarter of an hour later, reinforcements arrived as promised. Dozens of streams of light, mainly gold and light gold, mixed with red and cyan, flew from the main camp of the Taiyuan Army in the southwest like a rainbow bridge.

This scene not only made Qu Tuda feel relieved, but also made him a little frustrated... After all, although the reinforcements came very quickly, due to the rapid surprise attack and heavy investment, the less than 2,000 people in his unit were probably frightened and fled.

Half of it.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that General Qutu waited for a moment before taking to the air, and before reinforcements arrived, he showed up and started fighting with the opponent.

As soon as they fought, he clearly recognized one of his opponents - the yellow wind monster Wu Jingfeng!

After a moment, the reinforcements arrived, and Qu Tuda couldn't help but feel refreshed, because he was keenly aware that the reinforcements had spent a lot of money, and almost all of the nearly twenty people who came were masters of elixir condensation or above, which was in sharp contrast.

What's strange is that although the thieves are the attackers, only seven or eight of the twenty or thirty so-called masters who came are facing up. The rest are more like appendages attached to the giant purple screen. They can only stand in front of them.

Under the protection of the giant screen, one can fight with the masters of the Taiyuan Army, and all the movements that look like leaping with vitality seem to be more like being passively transferred by the giant screen.

In other words, there is a significant difference in the number of Dan Condensing masters in the army's raiding force compared to the Taiyuan Army. In terms of overall strength, the Taiyuan Army has the upper hand.

but……

"Is this the Purple Flag Heavenly King Xiong Bonan?" Liu Yangji, as the leader of the team, naturally asked his old acquaintance Qu Tuda immediately when he saw such a huge scene.

"Of course it is!" Qu Tuda was very nervous, but he instantly provided a warning. "General Liu, not only Xiong Bonan is powerful, but Wu Jingfeng and Xu Shiren are also extraordinary masters. Why don't we all form a tight formation and work together to drive them away?"

, with such a clear confrontation, it is also possible to calm down the morale of the army at night!"

Before Liu Yangji agreed, Bai Liben had already led several people to fight against him, fighting with Wu Jingfeng, Xu Shiren and others.

Only when the purple curtain rolled up did Bai Liben and others immediately fall into a clear disadvantage.

Liu Yangji looked ahead, thought for a moment, and immediately made a decision: "What the British want to do is to test the combat strength of both sides as much as possible. It doesn't matter what method is used... It's okay to have a random fight. If it's not appropriate, we can just do it again."

yes."

After saying that, Wu jumped up high and got directly involved in the battle group.

Qutuda sighed, understanding in his heart... On the one hand, this man relied on his strong strength, but on the other hand, he was obviously unwilling to care about his subordinate Dongdu Vanguard Force. He didn't know whether he simply looked down on him or just ignored him.

What other thoughts are there?

But wanting to think about it, Qutuda had no choice but to join the battle group.

In this way, tonight's army raid completely fell into a chaotic battle due to the arrival of Taiyuan reinforcements, and both sides soon realized that the battle seemed chaotic, but in fact it fell into some strange dynamic balance.

The problem lies with Xiong Bonan.

To settle the accounts, according to the so-called Trinity Advanced Algorithm, the Taiyuan Army is superior no matter what, and according to experience, the number of Qi Jing masters who helped me must die to be worthy of today's battle, but the reality is that,

I don’t know if it was the purple-faced king or the purple-flag king’s giant screen that easily offset everything.

The two sides were coming and going, and the streams of light were intersecting. Together with the giant purple screen, from a distance, it was like a giant flag floating in the air and a huge ball of light constantly intersecting.

And after fighting until midnight, many people wrapped in the giant curtain took the initiative to retreat and walked north along the river. The Taiyuan Army masters who had already seemed a little tired and panicked in the previous battle did not pursue...including that one.

As the giant screen slowly crossed the river, some people impulsively wanted to strike again, but because the others had no intention of helping, they did not successfully activate it. Instead, they sat back and watched the opponent cross the river, calmly dispersing the purple screen and disappearing.

In the army camp.

In this way, the Taiyuan army returned to the camp.

At this time, the British Duke had already rested, and everyone could only return to the camp under the arrangement of several generals. It was not until the next morning, when the drums were beaten in the camp and the generals gathered in the camp, and everyone who had a hurried breakfast arrived at the building that was being established.

In the Chinese army's tent behind the rammed earth general platform, I met the British Duke and made a report.

Unexpectedly, after listening to the report, Bai Hengqiu was not angry but happy:

"good!"

Many people were surprised, but no one would refute it out of curiosity. They just stared seriously at this master who had temporarily mastered the 12 counties in the Jin Dynasty... or more.

Sure enough, Bai Hengqiu continued to explain without any haste:

"Actually, even if we have experienced this kind of large-scale war twice, we are all blind and trying to grasp the elephant, and we cannot be completely sure... Such as last night's battle, this kind of one grandmaster, several people formed elixirs, and dozens of people condensed elixirs in front of them.

There is no way to refer to the scene of chaotic fighting, even if there is precedent. Before the fight, who can say that this is the situation?

"And now it seems that the wonderful thing about last night's battle is that after the grandmaster manifested the visualization object, the effect was so great, whether it was attack or defense, that it could not be offset by three Chengdan...

Is that true? This is just like once a person condenses the elixir and has the body-protecting energy and the power to leap, although in name he is only the top three of the magical scriptures, he can move around like the wind and is well-prepared, so he can easily cut them off one by one. "

Everyone said yes, and Li Ding and some others already knew what Bai Hengqiu meant.

"Then let me ask, who can be my target in the battle tomorrow?" Bai Hengqiu looked around, twirling his beard and laughing on the spot. The laughter shook the entire camp. "Xiong Bonan?!"

The people around him were all awe-inspiring, and even those who had a little thought had to be convinced after thinking about it.

And Bai Hengqiu was not a wanton and arrogant person. After saying these words, he became awe-inspiring: "Okay, this matter is over. Let us now discuss the matter of sending out a large number of troops tomorrow!"

On the contrary, the generals were stunned, obviously not expecting the other party to be so straightforward.

Soon, Sun Shunde, who had regained his composure, also came to ask directly: "Don't you have to wait for Duke Duan? He will be there at noon. General Qutu is also packing up the camp and gathering the remaining soldiers across the river."

"That's not necessary." Bai Hengqiu pressed his hands on the gum and said calmly. "Because in this battle, I have never thought of using Dongdu soldiers. As long as they hold down the other side of the river to prevent reinforcements or the enemy from breaking through...

So, when Mr. Duan comes at noon, I will go find him and give him a special message."

Everyone understood and nodded.

Not only that, the British Duke looked at Li Ding, who was the first on his left: "Master Li, in tomorrow's battle, you will lead the Wu'an Hongshan soldiers as the rear army, and watch me defeat the thieves."

At this time, even though Li Ding had already known that the other party had already made up his mind, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "It all depends on Duke Bai's orders."

Let's say that last night's battle between Qingzhangshui and Hedong was actually a draw between the Gang and the Taiyuan Army. Only the vanguard of Qutuda's tribe suffered... In fact, the army wanted to use this battle to boost the somewhat stubborn morale.

, and the Taiyuan Army just wanted to test the strength of the army, so the battle itself was insignificant in terms of the overall situation.

However, the significance of individual military battles is not only to serve the overall military situation, but also has political significance in itself.

That night, there were countless streams of light and purple flags like clouds, which could be seen everywhere. How could the surrounding people not know that there was a big conflict? The Grandmaster's action was already the limit of the previous Hebei war.

Moreover, this was actually the first large-scale battle since the gang made a large-scale march to seize Liyangcang last year. After the Taiyuan Army rushed in, such a battle happened almost that night, which shows the strong will of both sides to fight, and

A state of mutual determination.

Therefore, on the third day of February, the two armies were in full swing and making various plans to prepare for the decisive battle tomorrow. With the arrival of 30,000 Dongdu troops, it became clear that something had gone terribly wrong here in Qinghe County.

"Uncle finally met me." At noon, Cui Suchen and Cui Erlang walked into the back hall of the Cui family's small house in Qinghe, Wucheng County, and couldn't help but smile when they looked at the people on the throne.

"I was busy the past two days and didn't have time to see Erlang." Cui Tuan, the leader of the Cui clan in Qinghe, also had a smile on his face, and there was nothing strange about him. "What does Erlang want from me?"

"What have uncle been busy with these past two days?" Cui Erlang didn't sit down and just asked with his hands in hand.

"I am preparing to raise troops and change banners to seize Wucheng, echoing my old friend the British Duke, so as to return Hebei to the imperial rule." Cui Tuang did not hide anything.

"I didn't know that my uncle was so loyal to the Wei Dynasty." Cui Suchen couldn't help laughing.

"Da Wei and I only have grievances, no kindness, so how can we be loyal?" Cui Suan also smiled. "Sit down, let us talk slowly."

Only then did Cui Suchen take his seat.

Cui Tuan also became serious and told the information: "The British Duke and Li Ding arrived yesterday, with 40,000 to 50,000 people, of which 30,000 were Taiyuan elites; Duke Duan should also have arrived at this time, and there are many soldiers and horses in the Eastern Capital.

You should know better than me... In the first half of last night, the thieves made a surprise attack with all their main force. Xiong Bonan led the team, but they were still easily blocked by some masters of the Taiyuan Army... Erlang, the thieves' benefit of the world is good,'

It may or may not make sense to depose those who are good at benefiting the world, but Zhang Xing doesn't have the chance to verify it, so our choice is logical. It's rare that the British Duke gives you a chance. You can stay and hide it.

That’s it.”

"Winning or losing can only be determined on the battlefield. All predictions and calculations are nonsense." Cui Suchen responded calmly.

"But predictions and calculations are the basis for betting." Cui Suan replied patiently. "If you don't bet on something with a high chance of winning, how can you bet on something with a small chance of winning?"

"But the odds of victory are also divided into big calculations and small calculations." Cui Suchen did not hesitate. "Small calculations are just like my uncle, staring at a battlefield to measure the strength of the troops, the level of practitioners, the sharpness of the weapons, and the big calculations.

, it depends on the people's hearts, institutions, laws, morals, population, geography...Looking at it in turn, the army has six victories, and Taiyuan East has six defeats!"
