Hearing Zhan Ke's words, I couldn't help but be surprised: "You mean, if the Lord Tianwu fails to mediate for you, the Nine-Jue Evil Dragon will still fight you?"
Zhan Ke said: "It's not just a simple fight, but a decisive battle to determine the winner and life and death. It seems that he is determined to destroy me!"
I said: "It's not just you, I'm afraid it's me too! It seems we must share the same hatred this time!"
Zhan Ke nodded and said: "Brother Chen, do you think I should wait for him to come to Rixin City in half a month, or should I take the initiative to go north..."
I couldn't help but blurt out: "Of course, go directly north! If we fight in Rixin City, everyone here will definitely be devastated."
But after I finished speaking, I asked again: "What is the combat effectiveness of the Rixin City Legion? What is the chance of winning?"
Zhan Ke didn't say anything, and Yuan Zihong said next to him: "There is no chance of winning. Jiujue Evil Dragon himself is a strong fourth-level immortal. He also has six third-level immortal monks under him. This time five came and commanded five respectively.
Legion, the thousand guard commanders of each legion are strong men of the first level of heavenly immortals, and the equipment is basically based on the elite legion of the demon clan."
"As for our Rixin City, it is still possible to deploy five legions to meet the enemy, but there are only two legions that can compete with those five elite legions. The other three legions are miscellaneous armies, and the legion commander can only
He only has the strength of a second-level heavenly immortal."
"Chief Qianwei basically has the strength of an Earth Immortal. Occasionally there are one or two first-level Heavenly Immortals. They are also half-baked, with some cultivation but no powerful magical powers."
Hearing Yuan Zihong speak so slowly, I also frowned.
Yuan Zihong asked me: "I wonder how strong the reinforcements brought by City Lord Chen are?"
I said: "A 10,000-man ballista corps and a 1,000-man cavalry corps. If we are going to Xixi River to fight, I will give an order for Lu Zheng to take the Innocence Corps and the Tianhui Army together."
Going north, there are more than 20,000 people."
Hearing what I said, Zhan Ke immediately said: "There is no need for those two legions. Their combat effectiveness is not as good as ours. They are just cannon fodder. And you are the family member. Don't feel sorry for me. I am the elder brother."
I feel bad too."
"The two legions you mentioned that I have never heard of are enough. Besides, what I value most is not how many soldiers and horses you brought, but the killer Zhou Yin beside me. With him, I
There is no need to be afraid of the Nine-Jue Evil Dragon."
I also nodded.
But Zhan Ke soon said again: "Of course, there is one thing I want to explain to you in advance. If the killer Zhou Yin takes action, it will be equivalent to making it clear to the entire Utopia that you are harboring the main wanted person of Qi Ling Country. You
Do you know the consequences?"
I said: "Don't he already know it now? It doesn't matter whether I reveal it or not. I don't worry about this!"
I said I wasn't worried, but I was a little scared in my heart. If Qiao Ling really came to ask for help in person, then we would have no choice but to run away. I'm afraid the Utopia would not be able to stay any longer.
But then again, except for Xia Wenhou, Xiahou Luotian and Tianwu all seemed to want to protect me. Maybe Qiao Ling was afraid of the strength of the other three kingdoms leaders and didn't dare to do anything to me.
Hearing what I said, Zhanke immediately came over and patted me on the shoulder and said, "You are such a good brother of mine."
Next, Zhan Ke said directly to Yuan Zihong: "Go and gather the troops. We will head north in a few days. At our speed, we will reach the Xixi River within three days."
Yuan Zihong frowned and said: "Although I think it is better to hold on to the city, if the city lord insists on going north, I will have to accept the order."
After saying that, Yuan Zihong went out and followed the instructions.
Zhan Ke smiled and said, "That's what Lao Yuan is like. Every time my orders don't satisfy him, he always complains. But having said that, even if he complains, he will still get things done.
Neat."
I also smiled and said: "Yuan Zihong is a good subordinate!"
Zhanke said: "He is also my good partner!"
We looked at each other and smiled.
It took Yuan Zihong almost half a day to organize five legions in the north of Rixin City, totaling more than 60,000 people.
After the legion was assembled, I went out of the city together. Zhan Ke was wearing a black armor and walking at the front, looking like a god of war.
We followed him. He was the host and we were the guests. Naturally, we couldn't steal his limelight.
When we left the city, I found that many people from Rixin City also came to see Zhan Ke off. They all hoped that their city lord could return in triumph.
When Zhan Ke walked to the front of the team, he thought he would make a grand speech, but unexpectedly he only said one sentence: "Let's go!"
Although there were only two words in this sentence, all the soldiers were extremely excited and shouted directly. They shouted long live. Each of them seemed to be holding a breath in their hearts. They were probably a little overwhelmed by the threat of Tianlong City.
Let's get started.
And I also sent an order to my Fu formation cavalry and ballista corps to speed up, bypass Rixin City and go north to Xixi River to meet us, and I also asked them to arrive within ten days.
Zhanke also gave an order to Rixin City. When our Wuwangsin City army crosses the border, they will be released directly without any interrogation, and they will also take the initiative to provide us with food, grass and drinking water.
Of course, I also asked Zhanke for a lot of blue-level talisman jade. I was not blackmailing him, but I wanted to use it as ammunition for my ballista legion.
Zhan Ke was also unambiguous about this. Hundreds of thousands of blue-level talismans were directly carried on the road, and they would continue to be sent in the future.
It took us three days to reach the south bank of the Xixi River. The Xixi River is three or four miles wide, and the water surface looks very gentle. However, I heard that the deepest part of the water is tens of meters, and there are no infantry or cavalry at all.
The only way is to cross the river directly.
There is no bridge here, so we found thousands of large ships on the opposite shore.
Seeing this scene, I was surprised and said: "A water fight? We don't have a boat here?"
Zhan Ke said: "You are stupid. Who would go into the water to fight them? We will fight them only after they cross the river and get on the shore. However, the Nine Jue Evil Dragon is also true to his word and really did not cross the river."
Yuan Zihong said: "He is not trustworthy, but he doesn't take us seriously at all. In his opinion, they can win this battle no matter what, so there is no crossing of the river. They deliberately let us!"
Hearing what Yuan Zihong said, Zhan Ke snorted and said, "Old bastard Jiujue is so disrespectful!"
We set up camp on the south side, but Tianlong City's army had no intention of stopping us. Instead, they stood still on the north bank.
After our camp was set up and all the legions were settled, a messenger was sent from the Tianlong Legion to ask Zhan Ke to agree on a time for the decisive battle.
Zhan Ke said: "According to the time agreed before, there are still twelve days."
After the man left, Zhanke asked me when my troops would arrive, and I said they would arrive soon, and I would definitely arrive before the decisive battle.
In the past few days, the two sides have been facing each other across the river and have not interfered with each other. They have no intention of fighting at all.
But each of us knows that this battle is inevitable.
These days, the relationship between Nangong Fan and I has really cooled down a bit. When we are together, she always comes to me to chat when she has nothing to do, but recently she has basically not taken the initiative to find me, even when we meet on a regular basis,
He just said hello and couldn't speak more than three sentences.
Although I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, I have not broken this situation after all. Maybe if this continues, Nangong Fan will slowly fade away from her feelings for me. In that case, she will feel better.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and there were only two days left before the decisive battle. On this day, my talisman cavalry and ballista legion finally arrived. The soldiers in Zhanke were generally more interested in our ballista legion, and they were even more interested in it.
expectations.
As for my more than a thousand talisman cavalry, they probably only thought they were escorting the ballistae.
And I just give the outside world this illusion and make them look down upon my cavalry team. At the critical moment, this is my weapon to give the enemy a head-on blow.
As for the efficacy of the ghost rune, I am very confident that my cavalry can definitely perform extraordinary feats.
The talisman formations on these horses cannot be seen unless they are activated. They look similar to ordinary horses, so not only Zhanke's soldiers, but also Zhanke himself did not pay much attention to my cavalry.
.
I didn't explain much.
On this day, our reinforcements from Wuwangsui City arrived, and things on the Zhanke Army side improved a lot, especially when we saw the more than a thousand ballistae we brought.
On the north bank of the Xixi River, those people still seemed to be motionless, as if they didn't care about the arrival of reinforcements on our side, and were not even interested in our ballistae.
The enemy's indifference made me beat my head. Does the enemy have a more powerful weapon?
I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.
In the evening, Zhanke held a banquet for my people. Of course, no one should drink too much. After all, this is a military camp and there will be a war soon.
The soldiers and I drank for a while, then walked to the Xixi River alone. I couldn't help but think of the story that Zhan Ke told me about the snake spirit named Xixi.
The Xixi River is so wide, is it really lost in my longing?
This legend is probably not believable.
I walked along the river for a while, and then I found a woman wearing a blue dress standing on a rock in the distance. It was Nangong Fancong there. She was the only one, and Chai Min didn't follow her.
I hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to walk over and asked her what she was doing here alone.
She said: "It's nothing, I'm just in a daze. If you don't drink with the soldiers, what are you doing here?"
I said, "I'm coming here to relax for a while and be quiet. Things have been happening all together these days and my mind has not stopped. I'm a little tired."
Nangong Fancong smiled and said: "When this battle is over, I want to go to Divination Mountain again to find the place where Xixi once practiced."
I subconsciously said: "I'll accompany you."
Nangong Fancong said "hmm" and said nothing more.
The warships on the opposite side are brightly lit. In another day, thousands of warships will cross the river and fight us. I will once again see the scene of blood flowing into the river with my own eyes. War is really everywhere in the upper world!
