Chapter 775 Prologue, the lazy Xuanwu can’t be cheated
When Qingqi headed north, he entered the Modong Grassland Corridor within a few days.
Only at this time can we see that the Han Dynasty has been intensively preparing for various wars in these days, and Timur has not done nothing. After all, it is a decisive battle that both sides intend, not a surprise attack by one side.
Compared to the big man who is strengthening his body, Timur is doing the Seven Injury Fist.
According to the experience of the Batu herdsmen who led the way, all possible tribal settlements along the way were trampled, and everyone had their tents empty, and even the water sources were polluted.
This also requires a long time to operate, and the Han army will not be given the opportunity to "take advantage of the enemy".
Xue Canghai was very disappointed.
Zhao Changhe and others looked at each other. It was difficult for them to figure out how to supply such a large tribal population and how to carry out nomadism if such a large tribal population was concentrated in one place. If this took a little longer, would the entire grassland collapse on its own?
Already...
So if everyone finds a place to camp now, can they just wait and see their own collapse?
The theory is fine, but one's own side is cheating on the storage box, and the other party may also have some strange cheats. Today's war logic cannot be completely based on experience. If you fall into the old thinking, you will lose.
As the distance between the two sides gets closer, the first round of "divine battle" has begun to occur without ordinary soldiers knowing it.
Zhao Changhe worked hard to hone his ability to observe the world in the underground sky. After getting rid of the assistance of the underground sky, the range of his overlooking eye also increased sharply, far exceeding what he had just broken through. To say that it covers thousands of miles is a bit exaggerated, but it is also true.
It's just "slightly", it's really not much different.
Suzaku has also been practicing these days to sense her surroundings through the ubiquitous fire element, but at the moment, with her late-stage strength in the first level of Yujing, the range she can perceive is not as good as that of Zhao Changhe, who is only in the early to mid-term. And she is sensing, while Zhao Changhe is.
"See", there is a qualitative difference.
This plug-in from the back view to the overlooking view has become more important at this level than in the early days when it was just looking at the back. It is almost like feeling some of the effects of the second or even third level of imperial realm in advance. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the back of the body.
It has great advantages for subsequent breakthroughs, after all, it has been previewed so much in advance.
The specific value for this war is that the range he can see is almost the same as the range of Temur, who is the peak of the first level of imperial realm. If Temur can see them, then he can also see Temur, in "
There will be no disadvantages in the "fog of war".
And...direct collision.
Late at night, Zhao Changhe sat cross-legged in the military tent, his mind unbridled, extending all the way to the northwest, trying to see what was happening in the distance.
Slowly, there is pressure on the edge of the expansion of spiritual consciousness, and a tingling feeling is faintly felt.
Zhao Changhe's heart moved slightly.
It was Timur or Bo'er who was also observing. The edges of both sides' spiritual thoughts met in the middle, and the edges of the two open circles touched.
Bo'er had fought before, so he could feel the difference, but this time the other party felt a little strange... This was Timur.
This is the first confrontation between Zhao Changhe and Timur.
"Ka~" It was as if some water wave cracked at the edge of the spiritual thought, and both sides bounced back a little, each feeling a little stinging.
What you see is where you are.
The next moment, two phantoms appeared in the central night sky at the same time, looking at each other from a distance of only one foot.
Timur looked at the shadow of Zhao Changhe in front of him, and he had to say that he was still a little impressed: "Your Excellency Blood Shura is really able to surprise people everywhere... Not long after he broke through the imperial realm, this divine soul is already as powerful as this Khan.
It’s so similar that it’s surprising and admirable. No wonder all the challenges along the way come from this.”
Zhao Changhe smiled and responded like an old friend: "If you can't even do this, there is no need to fight this war. Speaking of which, I have always been unable to understand some things in the previous wars, and it is only now that I finally
You know, when the Great Khan came to Yanmen Pass with his troops, why didn't he climb the city and break through the pass by himself... It turns out that Lao Xia's spiritual thoughts have been staring at you, and you didn't dare."
"That's right." Timur didn't mince words: "Xia Longyuan is controlling this Khan, and our god is also waiting for Xia Longyuan to appear, and he doesn't dare to act too rashly. This is the restraint on the imperial realm, and it cannot be easily
He will end up. There is a tacit understanding in the war between gods. As long as you don't end up, the victory or defeat of the ordinary war will still be within control. But once you end up, if something goes wrong, the consequences will not be the death of your body, but the death of your clan.
Destroy."
Zhao Changhe nodded: "Be taught."
"Then today, Your Excellency Blood Shura, as the new Night Emperor and the patron saint of your great men, why did you personally lead the crowd here?"
"Because I'm not as awesome as Lao Xia. If I don't come here in person, I won't be able to fight... I won't have any deterrent effect." Zhao Changhe smiled: "What's more, you know very well that now the gods and demons are awakening everywhere, and the rules of the past are
It's getting more broken and we need new rules."
Timur said calmly: "What are your new rules?"
"How can we allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed?" Zhao Changhe said lightly: "I don't want to contain any gods, I just want them not to exist."
Timur was startled and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay. Xia Longyuan doesn't even dare to attack the temple directly, but you are more arrogant than him."
"Because Lao Xia only has himself." Zhao Changhe said calmly: "Although Zhao is not talented, he has endless mountains and rivers behind him."
Following Timur's laughter and Zhao Changhe's response, ripples seemed to appear in the air, colliding with each other, each shaking slightly.
Zhao Changhe suffered a slight loss, and his spiritual thoughts shrank back a little, but only a little, not much difference.
The two phantoms both frowned and reacted in pain at the same time. This direct collision of souls was very uncomfortable and extremely fragile and easily injured.
Both parties had their own concerns and did not continue to test. They quickly and tacitly recovered their spiritual consciousness and returned to each other.
Zhao Changhe opened his eyes.
Yue Hongling sat cross-legged opposite him and asked, "Have you been in contact?"
Zhao Changhe nodded: "This simple contact test will probably give both parties a wake-up call... We don't dare to play with this kind of external expansion of spiritual consciousness... When we get closer, we can reach the point where your spiritual consciousness can contact us."
If he comes to the area, he will be beaten by our family. Similarly, if I poke around, I don't know if Bo'er is also in the army, and he will be beaten too. It's best if we all play less."
Yue Hongling said: "So it's either what I thought before, that everyone doesn't dare to explore spiritual thoughts randomly, and everything returns to the conventional war logic of goshawks and scouts; or it is to directly launch the battle of the imperial realm and separate it from the battle of mortals?"
"almost……"
As a knight who usually walks alone, Yue Hongling didn't quite understand the logic of the war here, and couldn't help but ask: "But the outcome of the actual battle of Yujing can determine everything, so what is the point of such a mortal war that wastes people and money?"
"It would be okay if the victory of the Yujing battle can be determined immediately, but judging from previous experience, it is extremely difficult to kill a Yujing. The greater probability is that it will lead to a stalemate, or be trapped in the secret realm. During that period, hundreds of thousands of Huqi
Going south, China is in ruins. What's the point of winning the battle? The war between you and me is first of all to protect China. We deal with the enemy's defense, while the generals and soldiers need to deal with the Hu cavalry. It's just a different division of labor."
Yue Hongling nodded slightly: "Yes."
Zhao Changhe added: "Actually, if the mountains and rivers are broken, we will also lose the battle against the realm. Part of my strength and my love's Sanniang's strength are bolstered by the energy of the mountains and rivers and the power of faith. Once the mountains and rivers are in chaos, faith will
Collapse, although it will not regress as much as Lao Xia, but its strength is definitely not as good as it is now. Lao Xia is nothing more than an extreme example, but many things can be referenced. This is the only difference between you and us."
"Actually, I have some concerns. If that happens, I'm afraid there will be problems with my sword's heart... My sword's will is greatly affected by you."
"Well……"
Yue Hongling asked again: "Is the same thing true for God Hu?"
"I don't know if he will be affected by the failure of the mortal war, but I can be sure that if he wants to go further, he must win the war." Zhao Changhe said: "As far as we know, apart from Jiuyou, this system only wants to
In addition to those who cause trouble, most of them, such as Haihuang Taoist Buddha, Immortal God, etc., all need human energy and faith. This situation will be more like a religious war, with human beings competing for luck. This is also what Lao Xia Shang
The reason why Beihu often went south at that time was that secular forces would lead to a decline in the cultivation of both sides."
Yue Hongling stopped asking these questions and asked instead: "How strong is Timur?"
Zhao Changhe said: "In terms of spiritual consciousness alone, I am half a step behind him. But in terms of spiritual consciousness, I am already a strong point in cheating... If we really fight, the gap should be bigger, but there is no level gap.
, can fight.”
Yue Hongling nodded and whispered to herself with some sigh: "No. 1 on the heavenly list."
Yes, no matter how many blind men are causing trouble in the rankings between Timur and Bo'er, Timur is number one on the Heavenly List, and the number one person in the world "certified by Heaven" among the ancient gods and demons.
This is a ranking with an endless aura. The number one on the human list is regarded as the king of men. The number one on the earth list is often regarded as the dividing line between humans and gods. Where is the number one on that day?
Even if the value of this ranking is reduced due to the common appearance of gods and demons, in the hearts of most people, it is still a position that people dare not look directly at. Even if Zhao Changhe looks at the terrifying blind man every day, for the "Heaven Ranking"
The four words "number one" cannot be ignored.
Perhaps in Yue Hongling's eyes, the meaning of fighting against the number one on the Heavenly Ranking is more than war.
"Back to business." Zhao Changhe said with a smile: "Now that Timur thinks that if he repels my observation, he will inevitably start to make some moves. Did you see anything about the sword energy that was previously buried in their sacred mountain and royal court?"
Yue Hongling shook her head with some regret: "The range was too small, and the location was hidden, so basically nothing was gained. I even felt that the sword energy I had buried in advance was a complete waste of effort."
Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Be prepared for a rainy day, why bother. No matter how much preparation we have made, it may not all be used. Judging from the situation where Timur and I have collided, the distance between us has become closer, which shows that our previous The judgment is correct, at least Timur himself really came in our direction."
"That also means that you will encounter harassment in the direction of General Huangfu, and this so-called harassment may not be based on martial ethics."
…………
It’s not that it’s impossible not to practice martial ethics, it’s that it’s inevitable.
When today's war tacit understanding has almost collapsed, and in the era of "the collapse of rituals and the collapse of music", Zhao Changhe has already thought that when the God of Immortality is restored, the world will be full of gods and killings... Then when He has not fully recovered, he will not be able to satisfy the chaos in China. Come, at least God can descend on his entire Beihu area, whether it is desert or grassland, which is much wider than Zhao Changhe's area.
Divine Descent is the most indefensible harassment, and it should not be used on ordinary soldiers.
Without the support of the underground sky, Zhao Changhe would not be able to support him from thousands of miles away.
Huangfu Yongxian led the group through the Gobi Desert, and under the guidance of experienced guides, they traveled northward along the Gobi Desert in an orderly manner.
It is said that crossing the desert is scary, but in fact it is not that outrageous. Many places are not deserts, and the Gobi can even be used for horse racing. Of course, it is impossible to drive straight into the grasslands on the eastern front. The march is relatively slow, and it has only just entered the Gobi after so many days. Far.
Although there was blowing sand and wind, the weather was not hot, and generally sandstorms would not occur at this time, so it was relatively easy to march.
But Huangfu Yongxian rode his horse slowly, and gradually he felt that the fine sand that was blowing on his face began to grow in size, and then the dust rolled up all over the sky, sweeping over the sky and covering the land like waves, as if he was in a roaring sea.
Tens of thousands of troops stared dumbfounded at the violent scene ahead, unable to even turn around and run away.
The old herdsmen from Batu tribe shouted in horror: "No! This is impossible! There should be no sandstorms at this time of year!"
Another herdsman quickly knelt on the ground and prostrated himself: "This is divine punishment, this is divine punishment... Sure enough, we have offended Changshengtian, and Changshengtian forgives us..."
"Boom!" No gods responded to their prayers and begging for mercy, and the sand and dust rolled in front of them in an instant.
The power of heaven and earth cannot be resisted by ordinary people at all. No matter how many people there are, it is useless, and Huangfu Yongxian on the ground list is useless.
However, the expected sandstorm burial did not come.
The soldiers raised their heads in shock, and saw that the dry Gobi desert was suddenly surrounded by soft water, as if it was enveloped by an invisible water curtain, and not even a grain of sand could invade it.
The phantom shadow of a giant turtle shrouded all directions, and everyone seemed to be moving forward under the protection of the giant turtle.
What's more, some people saw that within the area covered by the giant turtle, green grass began to sprout on the edge of the Gobi, and it seemed that it was gradually turning the place into an oasis.
The missionary work of the Sixiang Cult in the past six months is no joke, especially Huangfu Qing, who has used his identity as Huangfu Yongxian's daughter to secretly preach in the Yanmen garrison for a long time in the past few years. Now there are not many Sixiang Cultists in the army. He exclaimed in ecstasy: "This is the protection of our Emperor Xuanwu! Who is the elder, God Hu?"
The people of Batu tribe were stunned, and even other non-believers in the army were also stunned.
As Zhao Changhe said, today's war is basically a war between religions and gods, which has broken away from the template of earlier ethnic conflicts. This kind of hedging of miracles between the two sides is beyond the conventional understanding of soldiers, and it has also changed the common sense of the entire war. and pattern.
Looking up, a stream of light came from the northeast, seeming to bombard the phantom of the giant turtle.
A soft whip rolled leisurely, like a snake winding around, binding the stream of light to the void layer by layer.
The stream of light flashed out, revealing the shadow of a god, with a solemn expression: "Xuanwu..."
Sanniang came slowly from the void and said with a smile: "Honored God, you are well."
The two of them had met once before. When the Immortal God was beaten to pieces by Xia Longyuan overseas, Sanniang was the one who witnessed the whole process.
But it seems that being safe does not only refer to this time...
Although Sanniang did not inherit any memories of ancient Xuanwu, her inheritance of Xuanwu skills and knowledge was relatively complete. Both ancient Xuanwu and the Immortal God were active in the north, and there were many battles.
"Ha..." the Immortal God said lightly: "Xuanwu was so calm and resolute in ancient times. Even though he and I were enemies of each other, we still admired him very much in our hearts. Unfortunately, the times have changed and our old friend has passed away. Nowadays, he is a coquettish and coquettish person who serves the gods with his body. He also falsely claims to replace Xuanwu. I don’t think my old friend Jiuquanxia may want to recognize it. At least I... don’t recognize it.”
Sanniang didn't care about being scolded for "showing off", but instead smiled lazily: "I just like to serve my man, do you care... Don't make it look like you are familiar with Xuanwu, the inheritance of our Four Symbols Sect is still It's quite complete. Do you want to hear what Xuanwu said about you?"
The God of Immortality said calmly: "As an enemy of Xingxing, if you don't say anything bad, I don't think Xuanwu will have any bad words for me."
Sanniang smiled and said: "That's right, he doesn't have any bad comments about you. He also said that you have a lot of bones and can be regarded as a man. But his vision is too small. You are like a wild monkey in the mountains. He only knows that when a group of monkeys fight, he and you are the enemy." I always feel like I’m a bit out of place.”
Immortal God: "...It's a pity that the era collapsed, but it was he who thought he had vision who died, and I am alive."
Sanniang shook her head: "Xuanwu is just a meaning, a summary of a civilization system. If civilization continues, Xuanwu will be there, and it does not need your approval. On the contrary, if you die, will the immortality be there? They even Without a specific image, the only imagination that most people can rely on is an axe, which is ridiculous. What’s even more ridiculous is that the ax is not yours... you are just someone else’s pawn without knowing it.”
The God of Immortality didn't bother to talk to her about this at all: "For the wild monkeys in the mountains in your eyes, there are not so many and some, and we can only recognize the winners and losers. I am not here now, so you might as well take a look.
I don’t know who is being ridiculous if the woman who thinks she is inheriting Xuanwu can’t even defeat my split soul.”
Sanniang smiled slightly: "When you only dare to use your soul to come out... you have already lost."
"Boom!" Thunder and lightning suddenly broke out in the sky.
The day turned into night, and thunder spread across the sky.
The shadow of the black turtle skyrocketed, and violent thunder and lightning struck the turtle shell, not even a trace could be seen.
A graceful and plump figure shuttled like a snake among the thunder in the sky, and the long whip in his hand was suddenly thrown away, as if a horizontal purple lightning suddenly appeared in the thunder, and it crackled towards the phantoms of gods and demons in the air.
Huangfu Yongxian looked up, his calm face expressionless.
Although he did not expect that the Northern Expedition would actually start with the battle between the Changsheng God and Xuanwu, he understood what Xuanwu said.
The separation of souls shows that the main body is doing more important things. At least it shows that the daughter's previous prediction was correct, and the real battlefield of the main force is in the east.
"We seem to be underestimated." Huangfu Yongxian turned to Cui Yuanyong beside him and smiled: "It's dark now and the ground is full of wind and sand. Are you afraid?"
Cui Yuanyong said "poof": "Whoever is afraid of is the grandson!"
"Okay." Huangfu Yongxian waved his whip and pointed: "They think this can slow us down. I am not convinced. The whole army will continue to advance and reach the royal court within three days!"
