There is a Nanhe City on the state border, and there is an inland river outside the city called Dingjiang River. It is the main river transportation route to the south of the imperial court and the only way to go north.
The Dengjiang River is several miles wide. It is not only a river trunk road, but also a natural barrier that can prevent the army from moving north. Nanhe City has always been a military center of the imperial court.
It is not difficult to cross the Dingjiang River, but the millions of Chinese troops did not cross the river rashly. The reason is simply that a large number of monks gathered in Nanhe City on the other side of the river, at least three to four hundred people. Although they were unable to compete with the troops of Wanxian Pavilion,
In comparison, it cannot be underestimated.
At the north end of Nanhe City, more than twenty Taoist immortal old men looked at the Hua Kingdom on the other side of the river, their eyes slightly frowning, especially observing the people of Wanxian Pavilion. They knew that it was impossible to stop the Chinese army, so they could only try their best to delay it.
"The Chinese army is too powerful to fight forcefully. Do you have any good ideas?"
A tall and burly old man in the middle asked.
The old man is what Yulang Zhenren calls Jiuhua Sanren of Yuntai Mountain. He is a cultivator in the Yuan Shen realm and is the first person in the San cultivator world. At the same time, he also has another identity, Su Lin's master.
When Jiuhua Sanren were young, they were favored by Master Shouchang. At that time, Master Shouchang had intended to accept him as his disciple, but due to some strange combination of circumstances, he was unable to do so. However, both parties maintained a close relationship and were both teachers and friends. Su Lin was born
Later, when he reached the age of apprenticeship, he went to Shou Chang
He directly handed him over to Jiuhua Sanren, who would accept him as a closed disciple. This shows that he attaches great importance to Su Lin, but in the eyes of outsiders, this attention is mostly to repay a favor, because Su Lin's talents and qualifications are completely
Not qualified enough to be a closed disciple.
But no matter what, Su Lin became a closed disciple of Jiuhua Sanren, and his status was not trivial.
"In order to delay time, we should defend our position. However, if we just defend blindly, we will inevitably be too passive, so it is essential to take the initiative appropriately."
An old man who looked like a teacher, holding an emerald green flute in his hand, spoke.
When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense. Jiuhua Sanren laughed and said, "That's what fellow Taoist Zhou said, but how should we take the initiative to attack?"
"Fighting!"
Fellow Daoist Zhou took a step forward and said: "The Chinese nation has been going strong all the way. There is no enemy anywhere along the way. The morale is high and the soldiers are sharp. If we blindly defend, it will make the other side think that we are afraid, which will definitely increase morale, so
Taking the initiative to attack and rubbing off the enemy's energy will also bring a lot of convenience to our defense."
Fellow Daoist Zhou's idea can be said to be on point, but who will fight the first battle is a big problem.
Even if it is a battle of wits and has a strong purpose, then the first battle is only allowed to win and not lose, or even a big victory. Otherwise, satisfactory results cannot be achieved.
"I wonder which fellow Taoist is willing to fight this first battle?!"
Jiuhua Sanren glanced at everyone present and asked.
The more than twenty people standing next to him now are all at least in the True Dharma realm, and they can be regarded as gathering the top combat power in the casual cultivation world.
As soon as the words fell, an old man immediately responded: "I am willing to be the first to fight!"
"I have been in seclusion for more than ninety years and have not moved my muscles and bones for a long time. It is just the right time to use this battle to stretch out and show the prestige of our casual cultivator community!"
The old man is energetic, burly, and speaks in a booming voice. He looks more like a battle-hardened general, which is indeed the case.
The old man's name is Xing Wu. He was born as a sergeant. By chance, he entered the path of immortality. After hundreds of years of hard training, he became a well-known presence in the world of casual cultivators. In terms of combat power alone, there are only a handful of people in the world of casual cultivators who can beat him.
"Then I wish fellow Daoist Xing a great victory! I wish you great prestige in the world of casual cultivation!"
The old man holding the flute who spoke at the beginning congratulated in advance.
"Fellow Daoist Xing will definitely be sure of success if he takes action!"
"Not bad, not bad! With Taoist friend Xing's methods, who in China can defeat him?"
“……………………………………”
When Xing Wu went to battle, praises continued for a while, and Jiuhua San people were also full of confidence in Xing Wu's battle.
The treasure light in Xing Wu's hand flashed, and a long ax appeared in his hand. It was about seven feet long, and the blade shone with cold light and was extremely sharp.
"Fellow Taoists, please wait for the good news!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Wuhua flew out in the form of escaping light, came to the sky above the Dingjiang River, pointed his ax at the Chinese army camp and said: "The rats of the Chinese army are taking advantage of the fire, hurting people in the back, and can't get on the stage. Today your grandfather invites you to fight, you guys." Whether they come together or one by one, grandpa will take over!"
Xing Wu was born in the army. Although he was already a great monk in the Golden Core Realm, he still could not change his military style. He was very careless and his voice was extremely loud. The invitation to fight echoed over the Chinese army camp, and the soldiers heard it. The sound of shouting made my eardrums hurt, especially the soldiers near the river. They were all shocked by the sound and fell to the ground, rolling and wailing. Some even were shocked to death.
Xing Wu is not good at spiritual attacks. In addition to his martial arts skills, he relies on his rough voice to practice the "Lion's Roar Skill". His most proud achievement was that he used the Lion's Roar Skill to seriously injure an elder of the Demon Cult who was also in the Golden Core realm. .
Xing Wu definitely didn't bother to attack ordinary soldiers, and he lost his worth in vain. He just used the lion's roar technique, and his main target was the troops of Wanxian Pavilion. The soldiers were only affected. If not, I am afraid that this voice would not be able to guard against it. The number of casualties is by no means small.
The people of Wanxian Pavilion were caught off guard, and many people were injured. Fortunately, the master of Tianshou Palace was in charge of Wanxian Pavilion and took action in time. There were no casualties. However, many people were injured, most of whom were monks under the realm. .
Li Zhen sat firmly in the army and did not fluctuate due to the opponent's power. Instead, he looked like he was looking forward to a good show.
He knew in his heart that the other party would definitely not be able to stop the Chinese army. With his intelligence, how could he not know that these people were here to delay time? As for the purpose of the other party's invitation to fight in the ring, he knew clearly. Best The way to deal with it must be to press the enemy with a large army and all the Ten Thousand Immortals Pavilion to "drown" the opponent directly. However, Li Zhen did not intend to do this because it was too incompetent.
How can you show your skill by using the strong to bully the weak, and using the strong to defeat the weak?
Don't you want to compete in the ring?
Then fight!
I'll beat you to your heart's content.
We must not only fight, but also kill, and break your courage.
"Let me ask you, do you know that person?"
Li Zhen asked Master Beiyi, as it is said that if you know your enemy and yourself, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. It is essential to understand the opponent's information before taking action.
Master Beiyi was also the number one figure in the casual cultivator community and immediately informed Li Zhen of Xing Wu's information.
When Li Zhen heard that the other party was a golden elixir master who was good at martial arts, he immediately became interested.
Nowadays, in the world of immortality, many monks practice spells and magic weapons, and there are very few monks who specialize in martial arts.
Li Zhen is also a martial artist, but he is not pure.
"It's interesting! I hope to go up there and learn the tricks in person."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately opposed by his subordinates. The two armies were fighting. If the emperor took action, wouldn't it mean to kill his ministers?
