Although on the whole, Zhao Changhe is probably her pawn in Ye Wuming.
But in this matter alone, she, Ye Wuming, was actually one of Zhao Changhe's chess pieces. Taking advantage of her opposition to Jiuyou, she played the chess piece willingly and with great care.
Every time the blind man thought about this, he felt an indescribable strange feeling, as if he could see a man striding towards her in the wind, frost, snow and rain, trying to pull her down from the high clouds and pin her down on his throne.
Down.
Xia Longyuan and the others didn't do it, but he is doing it.
However, even though he knew clearly that there were even more despicable parts of his thoughts, the blind man still wanted to make this move, and looked at his performance with great expectation, hoping that he would not slip up.
This feeling is really weird.
On Zhao Changhe's side, the decisive battle is about to begin. This is indeed not a war that will drag on for a long time. Although the scale is burning all over the world, no matter the victory or defeat, no matter which side the battle is on, it will end quickly.
There are many things to say. In fact, Huangfu Qing and Zhao Changhe had been marching for many days at this time. Due to the fast speed of the Qingqi Long Drive, they had already detoured from the Modong Grassland Corridor and entered the Mobei Plain.
Zhao Changhe didn't dare to use his overlooking eye to sense things remotely, and Timur Bo'e and others over there also didn't dare to expand their consciousness. Now everyone is not sure about the other party's specific movements. But instead, Zhao Changhe has
With more advantages, the eagle master sent by Sisi can already see the shadows of mountains in the distance, and a corner of the sacred mountain on the grassland has been revealed.
On the other hand, the eagles on Timur's side... were almost all roasted.
Including the Immortal God... With his level of cultivation that surpasses everyone else, he can completely see Zhao Changhe, but Zhao Changhe cannot see his situation. But Zhao Changhe, Zhuque Yue Hongling, and Zhao Changhe have never felt that they are being treated by others.
The feeling of peeping shows that even the Immortal God has no spiritual consciousness to spy on it.
According to the news conveyed by Sanniang through the secret method of the Four Symbols Sect, the Immortal God is just using a weaker soul to contain her - judging from this, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that the injury of the Immortal God has not recovered yet.
, worried about repeating the mistakes of the overseas war, and did not dare to randomly come to a position where there was a group of Yujing on their way.
That's right, everyone has to rush to the Northern Expedition because of this.
Theoretically, Timur is blind at this moment and cannot grasp the movements of our army at all.
"However, this is misleading." Huangfuqing had already made this conclusion to Zhao Changhe when they were galloping on the grassland a few days ago: "The collision between Timur and you that day was an intentional misleading."
"This is their home field. Even all the grassland ministries have been evacuated, and the water sources are all polluted. It is impossible for them to have no arrangements here. According to the attributes of the Immortal God, he should be the god of nature, and his five elements are similar to ours. Every element we are looking for
Every water source and even every blade of grass may be the eyes and ears of the Immortal God, which means they are always aware of our situation."
Huangfu's love these days has more and more demonstrated the coach's ability and judgment, and Zhao Changhe agreed with her statement.
According to Timur's Seven-Injury Fist method, it is also very uncomfortable for their army. After marching for so long, except for the two Monan tribes that were defeated at the beginning, everything was deserted, and not even a piece of shit could be seen.
It's so depressing that it drives people crazy.
Xue Canghai was almost exhausted these days. He originally thought that going out to the fortress would be a fierce battle, but he turned out to be here for shopping. He admired the vast sky and wild fields every day. It was quite beautiful at first, and he continued to watch it for more than ten days.
Everyone who comes down will explode.
It was just a shopping trip, but the key was that there was no food or water to drink.
There is obviously a storage box, but ordinary soldiers don't know about it. A few high-ranking generals know about it, but the commander strictly orders not to use it or even mention it.
So everyone was using the dry food and water bags they had brought with them when they set out, as well as the food they had plundered from the first few Monan tribes that had been wiped out. Today, there is nothing to eat. An army of tens of thousands
, living off the wild red deer and wolves that we occasionally encounter on the grassland. Is this a life lived by humans?
Especially water, it’s not that we have nothing to drink, all water sources are polluted, but this is spring, and rain falls from time to time on the grassland. It’s such a tragedy that everyone has to rely on rainwater to live... In the past, marching hated rain, but now
I actually expected it to rain.
After more than ten days of this, the morale of this army was incomparable to when it first came out of the fortress. Everyone looked wilted. The commander Huangfu was indifferent and would only use military methods to suppress them.
Fortunately, the places we passed before were all grasslands, and the horses could eat directly, otherwise they might not have been able to march here... But even so, the horses can't just eat weeds all the time, and there is no way to raise war horses like this!
However, in such a vast grassland, it is impossible for Timur's military orders to be conveyed to every corner. You can still occasionally encounter some small tribes that have not left and were looted by the Han army. Basically, this improves your life. But this
It is not enough for the army, and everyone takes turns sharing pitifully. The so-called "feeding on the enemy" shows that the gap between ideal and reality is too big.
I don’t know how the West Route Army solved the problem of food and grass. Maybe they were transporting food to the fortress there, but it couldn’t be as uncomfortable as the East Route Army. Is this woman here, who is the head coach for the first time, really good at leading troops?
Not only the soldiers complained, but also many generals were filled with resentment. Someone quietly complained to Zhao Changhe several times. Zhao Changhe only asked one question and then became silent: "What can we do? Can food be transformed? This is Timur.
A lose-lose strategy, we can only compete with them to see who can survive better."
That being said, if Timur's side is going to have an impact, this year's nomadic herding will end, but at least we still have food to eat. We are all starving to death now, okay?
"Don't worry, according to this march progress, we are almost at their sacred mountain..."
"But they may not protect any sacred mountains. If people go to the mountains, we will all starve to death there. Are we going to hunt tigers like His Highness did in Beimang?"
"That is your Majesty's job, not your Majesty's. Thank you."
"..."
Zhao Changhe could only reassure: "Don't worry, the temple is very important to the faith... The other party will not abandon the temple casually and let us lose everything."
"The belief in Changshengtian is not like that. They will not leave us such a clear point of attack. The temple is really not that important to them!"
"Then what do you want to do?"
The generals looked at each other and said, "Can't we withdraw our troops?"
As expected, he looked north in a hurry, and I'm afraid this battle shouldn't have come at all.
Er, no, didn’t it say there was a storage box? Did you lie to us and it didn’t exist at all?
"Commander, Commander!" A scout rode back from the front and reported ecstatically from afar: "Commander, we have discovered a cluster of small tribes again!"
The surrounding soldiers were all refreshed after hearing this. Huangfu Qingqing waved his hand directly without thinking: "Come on!"
Xue Canghai took the lead and rushed out with his troops, shouting and brandishing his sword. The tribesmen in the distance seemed to have noticed and ran for their lives like crazy. The Han army followed them and chased after him.
This kind of improvement in life has been extremely rare for everyone recently. It can even be said that many people come here just to find these small tribes, and no one thinks too much about it.
But the herdsmen sent by the Batu tribe as guides were worried: "Commander, we are constantly chasing scattered tribes, and unknowingly we have led the army to deviate from the established route and start to veer westward. It shouldn't be like this...
"
Huangfu nodded and said: "It's okay, I know what I'm doing. We don't have to go straight into the temple, it doesn't necessarily mean much. If we can explore most of the opponent's clusters to the west, maybe it's good..."
Before she finished speaking, Sisi's eagle master came in a hurry: "Commander, our eagle discovered a large population of cattle and sheep in the distance, which is suspected to be a gathering place for a large tribe!"
This time Huangfu Qing and Zhao Changhe looked at each other, and the generals around them and even many mature and prudent people showed expressions of surprise.
There were a large number of cattle and sheep, which meant that it was not an army, but a tribe, a big tribe.
It is absolutely impossible for Timur to shrink all his tribes and throw them all into one place. There is no place that can support such a large number of people to live together. It can only be divided into several different areas for the placement of very large tribes.
Is this a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, chasing other scattered tribes, but was found in a very large settlement?
This is the first truly meaningful goal.
As long as this large tribe is broken, it can even be said that the basic strategy of "attacking the barbarians and being unable to go south" has been achieved, and the results can be called "digging the court and clearing the holes".
Huangfu Qing said in a deep voice: "Let's check again to see if there is any movement from the main force of Beihu."
The Eagle Controller said: "There are no military movements for hundreds of miles around...but there are troops protecting the tribe. That is normal."
Suzaku was unmoved: "Wait for Xue Canghai's return."
Not long after, Xue Canghai, who had been chasing the small tribe just now, returned happily: "Commander, I really saw the outline of a big tribe over there. The other little guys went around to detect any movement. Except for the direction of the tribe, there was nothing else around.
Signs of military presence."
"What about the number of tribal troops?"
"We don't dare to get close. We don't know very well."
Suzaku asked the eagle master: "What did you see?"
The eagle cannot tell the difference between ordinary herdsmen and the army, so the eagle master can only shake his head.
Xue Canghai said: "Commander, no matter how many troops the opponent has, we cannot bypass the big tribe and turn a blind eye. This battle is imperative, otherwise the morale of the army will collapse."
Suzaku is still silent.
Xue Canghai wiped his beloved Blood Magic Sword with a cloth, looked sideways at Huangfu Qing, and then at Zhao Changhe, but stopped talking.
Forget it, I was beaten so badly by this woman in the capital over the past few days to avenge her, so it's better not to say anything.
But no matter how silent he was, everyone could see the ridicule in his eyes. He was obviously chasing other tribes and met the big tribe by chance. No matter how you looked at it, it was luck. The main force of Beihu? The main force is in the direction of the Holy Mountain. We are here.
They're all in different directions. It's not the same path at all. You're so suspicious and timid. How can you be Suzaku?
Huangfuqing was silent for a moment and asked the scout in a low voice: "What other geography is there in the surrounding area?"
The scout said: "There is a barren mountain to the north, which is pretty big, but there is no place to hide people."
Huangfu Qing nodded: "Don't go directly to the other tribe through this path, be careful of traps. The whole army will take a detour from the direction of the barren mountains in the north and follow the mountains."
Xue Canghai's eyes lit up: "The commander-in-chief means..."
Huangfuqing took a deep breath: "Of course the whole army will attack, we will eat here tonight!"
"Rumble!" The sound of horse hoofbeats resounded in the ecstasy of the three armies, and even the earth trembled.
High on the barren mountain, Bo'e looked coldly at the scene of the Han army rushing towards his position like a joyful man, with a smile on his lips.
"Huangfu Qing is cautious, but it's meaningless." Bo'e turned to the shamans around him and chuckled: "When it comes to war, she is still too young, like a fledgling girl."
The shamans all laughed: "I have been playing with the true illusion of Zun Shen for more than ten days, and now no one can only think of it as chasing a chance encounter... She finally saw the tribe gathering together, and she just wanted to endure it. Xue Canghai's gang of things
I can’t help it either.”
Another shaman said: "We can't blame them. They think they have eagles controlling the sky, but we can't see what they are doing. In fact, all their movements are under our control, but they don't know what we are doing. The gods have come to the world.
, it’s no longer the war mode of previous years, it’s ridiculous that they clearly have three imperial realms in the army, but they haven’t woken up yet.”
"The gap between the first level and the second level of the Royal Realm is not smaller than the difference between the secret treasure and the entrance. Xia Longyuan's intimidation was higher back then because he was at the second level or in the later stage. Zhao Changhe Huangfu Qingyue Hongling was far from enough
This qualification.”
While he was talking, Huangfu Qing led the crowd to the foot of the mountain, and could vaguely see the tribes in the distance to the west appearing at the end of the horizon.
Huangfu suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the army and squinted his eyes for a long time: "Stop for now, the scouts will explore this mountain first."
Bo'er chuckled and said, "It's better to be cautious. Let's go."
There is nothing at all on the mountain... The real trap is in the "tribe" in the distance. The tribe in the distance is at least 100,000 in number. In fact, there are no herdsmen at all, they are all elites. Putting a herd of cattle and sheep there is just to deceive the eyes of the falcon.
, just waiting for them to rush in thinking they met by chance.
Once the Han army rashly charges into the so-called "big tribes", they will immediately find themselves plunged into a vast sea of grassland elites.
Moreover, they did not move the tribes along the way at all, and there was no such thing as the Seven Injury Fist.
That is the effect of the page of the heavenly book of the Immortal God, existence and non-being, virtuality and reality, truth and illusion. Everything seen along the way is false. In fact, countless tribes along the way watched the Han army pass under their noses.
, studying water that is not contaminated at all.
Then he threw out some abandoned people, constantly attracting them to chase, and leading them into the established trap along the way. In fact, at this moment, the tribes along the way had also gathered into an army, always far behind the Han army, preparing to give them a fatal pincer attack.
In fact, this is not the main force, there are only tens of thousands of them. To deal with a light cavalry, as long as they fall into a trap, there is no need for the main force. Timur and Zhao Changhe met and misled them, and then led the group to the west. The real
The main force is still with Huangfu Yongxian.
Zhao Changhe's judgment seems to be all wrong, none of them are right. It seems that the outcome of this battle is already known without having to fight.
Of course, we can't be careless... Bo'e still gave the biggest inducement.
"Boom!" Thunder fell from the sky and struck the entire Han army.
"Choke!" Zhao Changhe's dragon bird unsheathed and swept through thousands of troops.
The half-moon slashing sword light, which was countless times larger than in the previous years, swept out and dissolved all the thunder.
Bo'er's "shocked and angry" voice came: "Aren't you supposed to go straight to the temple? Why did you deviate to this place!"
Zhao Changhe laughed and responded: "This is the fate of the protagonist. It is not easy for a great shaman. You have been alerted before we even arrived. How many tribes have you been distracted from supporting?"
Following the voice, Yue Hongling also unsheathed her sword and chased where Bo'e's voice came from: "Why don't you show up, Great Shaman, to continue the battle between you and me in Chang'an?"
Zhao Changhe also left the formation with her to pursue Bo'e. Suzaku did not move and continued to lead the army, seemingly going straight to the tribe in the distance that had lost the protection of the great shaman.
"Cang!" Zhao Changhe and his wife finally caught up with the figure who was flying in mid-air. The figure pulled out an ax and blocked the two men's attacks at the same time. The violent force surged in, and the young couple actually flipped upside down in the air at the same time.
He did a somersault, stopped in shock and looked up.
The person who came was bare-chested, tall and mighty, with a rough and resolute face, and his bronze skin seemed to have a divine luster. His forehead was tied with a gold belt, his eyes were bright, and the majesty and pressure in his eyes were just like Zhao Changhe's first time in the dark alley of Chang'an.
I saw Jiuyou.
This strange pressure, this strange feeling of divinity... this is not Bo Er at all.
This is the true form of the Immortal God, seen for the first time.
Zhao Changhe was shocked: "It's you...where is Bo'e?"
A sarcastic smile appeared on the rough face of the Immortal God: "Of course he is leading the crowd to open a dragnet, waiting for Lord Suzaku to step in."
Zhao Changhe seemed to be about to turn around and return. The Immortal God struck out with his axe, and the surrounding thunder formed a heavenly prison, trapping Zhao and Yue in it: "It's better to stay."
Zhao Changhe took a deep breath: "Are you healed?"
"It is true that I have not recovered. This is your opportunity for the Northern Expedition." The Immortal God smiled sarcastically: "But within my range, my strength will only be stronger than when I was outside. Not even Xia Longyuan dared to come and fight me.
Do you dare to go to the Holy Mountain?"
Zhao Changhe's expression gradually calmed down: "In other words, in fact, by saying that you have a weaker clone to restrain Sanniang, you are still misleading us and leading us to the death place we are in today."
"That's right." The God of Immortality said calmly: "Watching you all running towards death, I feel quite complicated. To be honest, I don't like to use tricks, but you are so desperate for your own death, it is really ridiculous. Then...
Come with your life."
"Bang!" The giant ax was swung out, Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling's swords were united, and they all parried the blow.
Then it seemed that they couldn't withstand the power of the opponent's second level of imperial realm, and both of their bodies were leaning back.
But the smile of the Immortal God was a little stiff: "This power is..."
A Tai Chi phantom appeared under the feet without any warning, like a millstone, assisting Zhao and Yue to consume the fierce and unparalleled power of the Immortal God. Not only that, it seemed to make the Immortal God somewhat unable to move, as if he was stuck in some quagmire.
.
At the same time, what looked like a small soldier in the army was shot like a meteor, and the wind and thunder roared, hitting the Immortal God's back directly.
Li Shen Tong!
Zhao Changhe, who was pushed back, slowly pushed forward and leveled the position of the axe, and chuckled softly: "Your Excellency has a false and true heavenly book, and I have known about cheating for a long time... Since you know, please guess, we are going all the way,
How much are we cooperating with you? For example, right now, do you think we are chasing you and leaving the army, or are we trying to drag you outside?"
