That night, Sui Zhi personally sent two groups of troops outside the city. One group was led by Huazhou altar guard Yang Jinghuan, and the other group was led by fellow guard Zhu Zhenyang.
The last time the Nufu Sect took action, the troops were divided into five groups and raided the five camps of the Suppressing Evil Army.
But this time, there were only two armies.
Yang Jinghuan led his army to attack Liang Xianchun's Canglong Camp, and Zhu Zhenyang led his army to attack Xu Zhiqiong's Qingyi Camp.
Yang Jinghuan was quite worried, and before leaving, he advised Zhu Zhenyang: "Xu Zhiqiong has the largest number of troops, and this guy is the most cunning. I have been leading troops longer than you. Let's talk to Da Sima and let's switch.
"
If Zhu Zhenyang was a man without ambition, he would really agree to change, but he had long been thinking about taking the position of altar guard. He shook his head repeatedly and said: "This is a matter decided by the Grand Sima. We can't talk about it anymore.
Besides, what the altar guard wants to fight is the enemy's general, and what I want to fight is just a captain of the enemy's army. If I overstep my bounds, the commander-in-chief should say that I am taking credit."
The so-called generals and captains are nonsense. Xu Zhiqiong is the biggest threat to the evil-suppressing army, and Yang Jinghuan knows this very well.
Sui Zhi asked Zhu Zhenyang to raid Xu Zhiqiong because he wanted to give Zhu Zhenyang a chance to make meritorious deeds. Sui Zhi admired Zhu Zhenyang's temperament and had always wanted to cultivate Zhu Zhenyang.
Yang Jinghuan is still somewhat ambitious. He doesn't care how much credit Zhu Zhenyang gets, but he is worried that Zhu Zhenyang will make mistakes.
"You must remember to use troops according to the instructions of Da Sima. When engaging in battle, first entangle the enemy's general and then annihilate the enemy's army."
Zhu Zhenyang smiled and said: "Tan Shou, I don't know how many times you have said this. How can I forget Grand Sima's instructions? I have received a lot of care from Tan Shou over the years. Don't worry, Tan Shou. I wish you good luck wherever you go in the future.
I will never forget Tan Shou’s kindness in my heart!”
After leaving Yuling City, they split up and went straight to Liang Xianchun's camp.
Liang Xianchun had just captured a group of Nufu followers and was writing a victory report in the Chinese military tent.
Three days ago, Liang Yuyao suffered a defeat. Liang Xianchun dealt with it lightly, and the emperor never blamed him.
Today's good news is something to write home about, completely diluting the previous defeat.
How to write the beginning?
Just saying that he captured a group of Nufu cult members doesn't seem to be impressive enough. He should first describe his ability as a coach to see everything clearly and make prompt decisions.
Liang Xianchun was thinking hard when he suddenly heard the report from Canglong Guard Liang Yuru (Liang Yuyao's sister): "The enemy is invading. I can't see the number of people, but I can see the number of arrows. There should be hundreds of people!"
Liang Xianchun laughed and said: "Well done, let's inform the red battalion and the whole army will meet the enemy!"
I was worried that the good news was not impressive enough, so someone came to show me the victory!
Liang Xianchun mounted his horse and came to the front of the camp, where he saw the Canglong Guards and the enemy troops shooting at each other with bows and crossbows.
The fog was thick at night, and some figures could be seen vaguely, and the arrows fired had no idea where they hit.
The enemy's hit rate was really terrible. Only one Canglong guard was scratched by an arrowhead. If the confrontation continued like this, it seemed that neither side would be able to take advantage.
But there was one problem that could not be ignored. The enemy's arrows were mixed with fire arrows, and the fence in front of the camp was already on fire.
Liang Xianchun shouted angrily: "If you are so cowered and unable to come out, why don't you wait for someone to burn the camp? Send the order, the whole army will form an array, and go out to kill the enemy!"
Liang Yuru said: "General, the Canglong Guard is not good at close combat. It is better to wait for Yuyao to gather the red army before charging!"
It's not that she doesn't care about her sister, what she said is indeed the truth. Compared with the cultivators of the Killing Dao, the Canglong cultivators are inferior in speed, strength and fighting ability. The Red Clothes Camp is full of the Killing Dao, so they can rush in.
The front is the best choice.
Liang Xianchun waited for a while, but then he heard the Canglong Guards report: The Red Clothes Battalion was still reorganizing the army.
Liang Xianchun was furious: "These guys are used to being unorganized. By the time they stand up in military formation, the camp will be almost burned down. There is no need for them to embarrass themselves. You follow me first!"
Is Liang Yuyao too slow to organize his army?
In fact, it was not too slow. Xu Zhiqiong had told her that unless the enemy army robbed the camp and was already in front of them, she would have to organize the military formation clearly if she had time.
Which team is in front? Which team is in the back?
Should the crossbowmen stand in the center or on the wings? Should the front troops hold up shields or wear heavy armor?
Under Liang Xianchun, the red battalion was most likely used as a human shield. If he wanted to save a few sisters from dying, Liang Yuyao had to make full preparations before charging.
Liang Yuyao was fully prepared, but Liang Xianchun had already rushed out first.
Yang Jinghuan was still arranging tactics: "The enemy army will definitely refuse to move lightly. You wait for a while and continue to fire arrows. I will lead a team of troops to the flank to harass. If she still refuses to leave the camp..."
Before he finished speaking, former military camp officer Nie Qihe came to report: "Tan Guard, the enemy troops rushed out of the camp."
"I see, you don't need to panic. If the enemy army refuses to leave the camp, I will find another way..." Yang Jinghuan was suddenly stunned, turned to look at Nie Qihe and said, "You said the enemy army has rushed out?"
Nie Qihe nodded: "We have already rushed to the front army."
Yang Jinghuan was stunned: "Is there such a good thing?"
Nie Qihe said: "It's absolutely true. We have already engaged the former army. Please send troops to support us."
There were only thirty or fifty people in the front army, and they were just pretending to attack through illusion. I thought that Liang Xianchun would not be easily fooled, but I didn't expect that she actually rushed out.
Yang Jinghuan shook his head and said: "This place is too close to her camp. Give her a few heads and lead her to Leida Slope. I will immediately order people to set up a formation at Leida Slope."
Nie Qihe left after receiving the order and led his soldiers to fight with Liang Xianchun for a moment before retreating immediately.
Liang Xianchun ordered a pursuit, and Liang Yuru said: "General, it is late at night and foggy, and I am afraid that we may be ambushed by the enemy. Let's wait until dawn before pursuing again."
Liang Xianchun said angrily: "Who are you asking me to chase at dawn? The enemy troops have already gone to nowhere!"
Liang Yuru always felt that it was a bit reckless to attack rashly: "General, why don't we wait for Yuyao's red battalion to take the lead."
Liang Xianchun sneered: "The whole army is not doing well, so why take the lead? Just let her hold the camp and wait for my order!"
More than ninety Canglong Guards followed Liang Xianchun on horseback to pursue the enemy, and soon they reached Leidapo.
Leida Slope is a gentle slope on Leida Mountain. Liang Xianchun is on the slope and the enemy is on the lower slope.
She had read military books, and this kind of terrain was undoubtedly a great advantage for the pursuing party.
"Chase, chase! Don't let an enemy go!" Liang Xianchun kept urging. The sergeant riding a war horse took advantage of the downhill slope and was about to catch up with the enemy soon. Suddenly he saw the enemy standing on the same spot, each holding his own.
A spear, but a fight to the death.
Downhill versus uphill, infantry versus cavalry. In this situation, as many infantrymen as there are will die.
Liang Xianchun was so surprised that he ordered the whole army to raise their spears and use the power of the dragon's anger to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop.
If the power of Dragon's Fury is successfully used, the enemy will lower its head for a moment after the battle. Once the head is lowered, it will never be raised again. It is equivalent to stretching its neck and waiting for the Canglong Guard to chop off its head.
This is what Xu Zhiqiong said, where Canglong cultivators have the greatest advantage. With the power of Dragon Fury, the enemy can be incapacitated in a short period of time at any time.
But today seems to be an exception. More than ninety Canglong cultivators kept displaying the power of Dragon Fury, but only a few enemy soldiers lowered their heads.
Liang Xianchun's heart trembled. Is there any way to stop the power of dragon's anger?
Let's not think about these things for now, and let's take advantage of the power of the terrain to defeat the enemy.
The Canglong Guards rushed all the way, and were less than a hundred feet away from the enemy. Suddenly, a pit more than two feet wide and more than one foot deep appeared on the ground. The more than 20 horses in the front row rushed too hard. They couldn't stop and rushed straight in.
Into the pit.
The pit was filled with grease and collodion. Yang Jinghuan ordered his sergeants to shoot fire arrows at the sergeants. Flames instantly rose up. None of the more than 20 Canglong Guards who fell into the pit survived.
Liang Xianchun was in the middle army and hurriedly led the horses. The rear army could not stop, but they collided with the middle army. Halfway up the slope, more than seventy riders were on their backs.
Liang Xianchun realized that he had been ambushed and quickly ordered a retreat.
retreat?
It's not that easy.
It's downhill when you come here, but if you want to retreat, you have to climb uphill.
And I didn’t just let you climb if you wanted to. Yang Jinghuan arranged an ambush of 500 troops on the hillside. When Liang Xianchun led his troops to rush down the hillside, the ambush troops immediately occupied the top of the hillside.
Yang Jinghuan sneered and shouted loudly: "General of the Suppression of Evil, I will attack your camp. When you leave the camp, I will turn around and leave, letting you kill me behind me."
I led my infantry to fight your cavalry at the foot of the hillside, allowing your cavalry to take advantage and charge into our formation.
Go ahead and ask, can such good things happen in your dreams? The imperial court really thinks that there is no one, and they actually sent you to be the coach!"
Up and down the mountain, the angry army was laughing together.
Liang Xianchun shouted: "Don't be deceived by the enemy. The whole army forms an array and follow me to fight up the hillside."
As a domineering cultivator, no matter what situation he finds himself in, he will always have a chance to make a comeback, as long as he doesn't act blindly.
And Liang Xianchun is messing with Jill at the moment.
Breaking out from the foot of the mountain and heading up the mountain, the enemy is numerous and we are outnumbered, so spreading out and breaking out is the right way. What are you doing in formation?
Are you afraid that the enemy's arrows will be inaccurate?
Arrows rained down like rain. The Canglong cultivator was not a rough-skinned killer. In the blink of an eye, more than 30 Canglong guards fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.
Seeing this, Liang Xianchun took advantage of the wind and rushed in front of the enemy. He once again used the power of Dragon Fury to force the enemy to bow their heads.
Only a dozen enemy soldiers lowered their heads, while the rest continued to shoot arrows.
Liang Xianchun was shocked. She really couldn't understand why the power of Dragon's Fury didn't work.
The power of Dragon's Fury was not effective, so Liang Xianchun killed several enemy soldiers and used the skill of Pan Python again.
With her fourth-level cultivation, her python-coiling skill can restrain dozens of people at most.
But after the skill was used, only three or five people were bound, and its power was limited. The three or five enemy soldiers quickly broke free from the restraints.
Liang Xianchun finally figured out the reason. She was born in the royal family and had been practicing in Canglong Hall for many years. She also knew some about the methods of evil.
There are Taotie cultivators among the enemy troops!
All the energy released was swallowed up by the Taotie cultivator!
The advantage of overbearing cultivators lies in their skills. Their skills all require the release of Qi outside the body. If the Qi is constantly being swallowed up, the skills will naturally be unable to be used.
If you can't use your skills, you'll have to fight hand-to-hand, and hand-to-hand fighting is not what Bao Bao is good at.
Liang Xianchun relied on his advanced cultivation to fight to the death with the enemy. Nie Qihe said to Yang Jinghuan: "I will entangle the enemy general!"
This was a tactic devised by Sui Zhi. During a battle, he would first entangle the enemy's general, leaving his sergeants without command, and then annihilate them.
Nie Qihe was a sixth-level cultivator of the Yongzhu Dao. He was not Liang Xianchun's opponent originally, but Liang Xianchun was unable to use his skills and was forced to retreat by Nie Qihe.
Yang Jinghuan shouted: "Don't kill her, this person is quite useful!"
She keeps messing around, and it is indeed of great use to the enemy.
The remaining Canglong Guards struggled to break through, and several people rushed to the top of the slope, but were frightened by the ferocious appearance of the Yongzhao cultivators.
Liang Xianchun fell into a siege and was stabbed in the left and shot in the right. He was kicked in the face by Nie Qihe and rolled down the hillside.
Liang Xianchun, who had a bruised nose and face, was helped up by the sergeant and found that there were only a dozen Canglong Guards left around him.
Now there were two choices left before her, either follow these dozen Canglong Guards and die together, or use the Wind Riding Technique to escape alone.
Liang Xianchun didn't want to die, so he tapped his toes on the ground, released his energy, and wanted to fly away in the wind, but after trying several times, he found that he couldn't fly.
There were too few Canglong Guards left, so the Taotie cultivators became more and more calm and swallowed up all the energy they released.
Liang Xianchun lost all hope, and roared at the Canglong Guard: "Come on! Charge them all! For the power of my Canglong, for my great power, kill all these evil thieves!"
If he could rush out with just two shouts, all the Canglong Guards would be willing to shout along with him.
But the deadline was approaching, and they were in no mood to scream. Under heavy siege, their skills were still ineffective, and some even considered surrendering.
At the critical moment of life and death, I suddenly felt that Haoran's righteousness was coming, but I heard Zuo Chuxian shout: "Commander, don't be surprised, Zuo is here!"
Haoran Camp is here.
Yang Jinghuan smiled when he heard this: "Well done, I'll take them all together!"
