Nangong Fanxong and I stayed by the Xixi River until late at night before returning to the camp. When we returned, the noise here had stopped. Except for some sentry posts that were still active, most people had rested.
I sent Nangong Fan to her tent and prepared to turn around and leave. But after I took a few steps, Nangong Fan suddenly called out my name: "Chen Yu!"
In this quiet night, although Nangong Fan's voice was not loud, I could hear it very clearly.
I turned around and asked her what was wrong.
Nangong Fancong smiled at me and said, "It's okay, go to bed early!"
I said "Oh" and left. I really wanted Nangong Fan to talk to me more, but I kept chatting to death.
Early the next morning, I commanded the ballistae regiment to form an array by the Xixi River. My crossbows were placed not far from the river bank, with the purpose of giving them a head-on blow when Tianlong City's regiment crossed the river.
If we can sink their warships and prevent their army from crossing the river, then we will have won this battle.
When we were setting up the crossbow formation here, we found that several legions from Tianlong City were also making movements. One-third of their warships were heading west along the Xixi River, and one-third of their warships were moving along the Xixi River.
We walked eastward along the Xixi River, leaving only one-third of our army on the other side of the river.
I understood immediately. They saw us forming up here and planned to cross the river separately.
Seeing the movement on the other side, Zhan Ke frowned and said, "It seems that Jiujue Evil Dragon is not stupid either!"
Yuan Zihong also said from the side: "According to the ratio of the opponent's legions, the two legions are heading west. We can send our two most elite legions to follow them westward and prevent them from crossing the river."
"As for the two legions here, as long as we stay with the two legions and cooperate with Chen Daoyou's ballista legion, it will not be difficult to prevent them from crossing the river. However, I am afraid that the evil dragon Jiujue will be here in person. He has four levels.
With the strength of immortals, we..."
After hearing this, I said: "Let Zhou Yin stay here to help you."
Yuan Zihong nodded, and then continued: "According to the troop deployment I just made, we will only have one legion left. We will not have the strength to stop the two legions that have landed on the east side, so our defense will focus on the east.
.”
I directly interrupted Yuan Zihong and said: "If you are at ease, leave the remaining legion to my command. I will take them east to stop those two legions. Of course, my Thousand Guards Cavalry Regiment will also be brought there.
.”
Yuan Zihong was stunned for a moment and said: "You have given us the ballista legion to command, what should we worry about? It's just that even if I give you the remaining legion, there will only be thirteen or four thousand people, and there is nothing."
You are a powerful monk. On the other hand, the two legion commanders are both third-level immortals, and there are twenty Qianwei captains who are first-level immortals. How are you going to fight?"
I said, "Don't worry, I have my own way to deal with it."
Hearing what I said, Zhan Ke said: "Just do what Brother Chen said and transfer my personal guards to him."
I originally wanted to refuse, but then I thought that having more people would provide more protection, so I agreed. With Zhou Yin present on the battlefield in the middle, there shouldn't be any problems.
After discussing this, I immediately headed east with a legion from Rixin City, Zhanke's personal guards, and the Thousand Guards Cavalry Regiment.
Going east, those warships are going upstream and are not very fast, so we don't have to gallop our horses and whips on the shore.
Along the way, I also learned that the captain of Zhanke's bodyguard is called Lu Bo, and he comes from the human race. His strength is in the middle stage of the second-level immortal. It's hard to say what his magical powers are, but if he can be Zhanke's personal bodyguard, he shouldn't be too weak.
There are about a hundred people in the Guards, all of whom are above Earth Immortals in strength, and among them are five first-level Celestial Immortals. Having these people by our side can indeed greatly increase our combat effectiveness.
The other side's warship walked several dozen miles eastward and then stopped. It seemed that this was their crossing point.
We set up camp on the shore, and the warships opposite were also brightly lit, and the lights illuminated the surface of the Xixi River. After all, this was the night before the war, and they must be afraid that we would make a sneak attack.
After the camp was set up, I came to the Xixi River again. None of my companions were asleep, and Nangong Fancong, Chai Min, Qianyingjun and Hu Jiashu also followed me.
As for the Witch Spirit King, he naturally asked Zhou Yin to take him with him. Only when Zhou Yin watched him step by step did I feel at ease.
My companions came to my side, and no one spoke at first. After a while, Qianyingjun asked me: "Chen Yu, how are you going to fight tomorrow's battle? I think you are just setting up camp here without building any fortifications.
Do you really plan to use your Thousand Guards Cavalry against the two elite legions of Tianlong City?"
I said: "They crossed the river by boat. They must have few cavalry and most of them are infantry. If I use the cavalry to rush into the formation, it will definitely achieve miraculous results. Moreover, if our lineup fights a defensive battle, we will definitely lose miserably, so we want to win."
, then you must take the initiative."
After hearing what I said, Qianying-kun stopped arguing.
As for the power of my ghost talisman formation, among my companions, only Nangong Fanzong was lucky enough to see it once. The others have never seen it and do not understand its power. If they saw it with their own eyes, they would not question it.
I arranged it this way.
In order to ensure the mystery of my Thousand Guards Cavalry Regiment, I will drag them deep into the mountains every time they train. After the training is completed, I will return to the City of Sinlessness.
I made these people who participated in the training swear an oath not to reveal any secrets of the Thousand Guards Cavalry Regiment.
Nangong Fanxong also said at this time: "Chen Yu just likes to show off his strength. It's not like you don't know it. It's impossible to persuade him to change his mind now. All we can do is try our best to cooperate with his plan."
I smiled at Nangong Fan and said, "No one knows me better than Nangong!"
Nangong Fancong snorted and said, "And your Mai Xiaorou, she also knows you very well, I just know your bad habits!"
When I mentioned Mai Xiaorou, I couldn't help but feel startled. Then I recovered my thoughts and said, "Okay, let's all go back and rest. Tomorrow's battle will be extremely dangerous, so everyone needs to be mentally alert."
I didn't get much rest that night. The next morning, as soon as I finished my morning homework, the war drums were beating on the warship of the Tianlong Legion opposite.
"Dong dong dong..."
The sound of the war drums passed through the wide Xixi River and reached our camp. The soldiers on our side couldn't help but feel shocked. Everyone knew in their hearts that this battle was coming!
My Thousand Guards Cavalry Regiment was the first to bear the brunt, and directly followed my previous instructions to form a defensive formation three hundred meters away from the river bank.
As for Zhanke's miscellaneous regiment, I placed it a thousand meters away from the river bank. I asked Zhanke's personal troops to follow me, and I also prepared a war horse for each of them.
He also drew ghost runes on the horses and taught them how to use the runes.
They don't have time to practice, so they have to apply theoretical knowledge to actual combat. I don't know if they can cope with it.
However, these soldiers are all the elites of Zhan Ke. Each of them is a good practitioner and has a very good brain, so they should not be too trusting.
On the opposite side, drums were beating to cheer, while on our side we blew the horns for battle, and the sound of "woo hoo" pierced the Xixi River, effectively countering the provocation of the two legions of the Tianlong Legion.
The war drums were beating loudly over there, but the warship did not move. Only the figure of a third-level heavenly immortal flew to the center of the Xixi River with a "whoosh"!
He looked at us and said: "Come on, how about we have a fight before the war officially starts? Is there anyone on your side who dares to come to fight!"
The monk who was a third-level heavenly immortal made a good calculation. We don’t have a monk who is above the third-level heavenly immortal here. Of course he made the formation scream unscrupulously.
I flew up from my horse, then landed directly not far from the third-level heavenly immortal monk and said: "Since we want to fight, then I will fight with you!"
The third-level Celestial Immortal monk seemed to recognize me, and smiled at me and said, "It turns out to be City Master Chen. No wonder you are so arrogant. I heard that you rose to the second-level Celestial Immortal in the Wuling Tribe, and relied on the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to defeat
A monk who is a third-level immortal, you are really lucky. Will you be able to survive this time? If so, I won't dare to fight you!"
That guy was actually mocking me. He didn't think I was real at all.
I looked at him and said, "You talk a lot. If you want to fight, then fight. If not, then get out!"
I said the word "go" very seriously, and deliberately used my spiritual power to disperse the sound so that the soldiers from both camps could hear it.
The soldiers on our side cheered non-stop after hearing this, and joined in with my sarcastic remarks.
After hearing this, the soldiers of the opposing legion began to curse me, and their momentum was somewhat affected.
The third-level immortal monk snorted and said, "Since you are so eager to die, then I will help you!"
After that, the monk shook the silver armor on his body, and a silver heavy sword appeared in his hand. There were some strange runes on the heavy sword, and those runes seemed to be alive.
Keep wandering around on that heavy sword.
The monk said to me again: "Remember, the person who wants to kill you today is named He Wen, the Silver Pattern Sword Immortal, He Wen!"
I shook my head and said, "I've never heard of it!"
He Wen's face suddenly turned even uglier.
However, I noticed that the soldiers who captured the enemy in our camp were stunned for a moment. Apparently they had heard of He Wen's name.
At this time, the Guardsman Lu Bo also loudly sent a message to me: "The runes on He Wen's heavy sword are said to be the souls of several triple-level immortal monks who were killed by him. He forcibly refined the souls of those people into sword souls, and then
Turn the long sword into your own sword slave to use."
"Cheng Cheng, please be careful!"
Hearing Lu Bo announce his name, He Wen smiled and sneered at me: "Today I will train you to become the sword soul of my sword slave."
I directly summoned the star weapon and said to He Wen: "Then you have to put your life to the test!"
I took a deep breath, and murderous intent arose in my heart. (To be continued)
