Chapter 579 579 There is treasure, garrison at Blackstone Mountain
Xu Ziqi brought a total of 5,000 elite troops to the border, but at this time, he only brought 1,000 men to Zhuangzi. The remaining 4,000 men were all stationed in the mountains, which was the black stone land that he had to pass to get to the Demon Cult.
Although there were only a thousand people, there was still no problem in dealing with the rabble of the Demon Sect. At least Xu Ziqi didn't take the Demon Sect's people seriously.
So what if those people are not weak individually?
No matter how strong you are, you are still in disarray. You don’t know how to cooperate and have no tacit understanding.
Besides, the soldiers he brought out were not weak. If they were to fight alone, one on one, his men would not lose too badly.
A thousand elite soldiers, under the command of Xu Ziqi and Ji Yunkai's precise calculations, exerted the greatest efficiency and saved the greatest effort.
After Ji Yunkai's precise calculations, everyone exerted their maximum value and no one was wasted, which greatly improved the efficiency of the entire army.
Five people formed a group, ten people formed a team, and a thousand elite soldiers carried out Xu Ziqi's orders efficiently, constantly harvesting the lives of the demon cult members along the way. Xu Ziqi couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when he saw that his soldiers were moving forward with no disadvantages.
He was very satisfied that he was not embarrassed, especially not in front of Xiao Jiuan.
Xu Ziqi has been stationed in the Tianwu area all year round and has never fought against Xiao Jiu'an or even met Xiao Jiu'an, but he has heard of Xiao Jiu'an's reputation and knows his strength.
Knowing that Xiao Jiu'an was in Zhuangzi, Xu Ziqi became more careful. He could embarrass himself in front of anyone, but he could not embarrass himself in front of Xiao Jiu'an.
Xiao Jiuan is Beichen's biggest enemy. To lose face in front of Xiao Jiuan is to lose Beichen's face.
The soldiers and horses under Xu Ziqi pressed forward step by step, and the guards on Zhuangzi were on guard and held on to the last line of defense. The people of the Demon Sect were caught in the middle, unable to advance or retreat, and suffered numerous casualties.
Seeing this, the people from the Demon Cult shouted: "Great Protector, these soldiers are too strong, we are no match for them."
"Where are they from?" They have never seen these soldiers before. They all know the soldiers and horses stationed at Blackstone Mountain and have some understanding of their strength.
These thousand men are more than ten times stronger than the veterans stationed there.
"The person leading the army is Xu Ziqi. It should be Beichen's soldiers who patrolled the border some time ago." There were suddenly five thousand more soldiers and horses in Blackstone Mountain. The people of the Demon Sect were naturally concerned, but...
These people stayed at the border for several days, only adjusting Beichen's defense and not intervening in the Black Rock Mountain matter at all. Moreover, he had gathered information from Beichen's mouth. These soldiers and horses were only on routine inspections and had no other actions.
Therefore, the people of the Demon Cult did not take Xu Ziqi and his troops seriously.
But they didn't expect that such a soldier that they didn't care about would eventually trick them to death.
"Why would Beichen's soldiers and horses help King Yanbei? Are they just like us, and are here to capture King Yanbei? You sent people to find out." The blood feud between King Yanbei and Beichen is known to everyone, even if they have witnessed it with their own eyes.
, the Great Protector of the Demon Sect still didn’t believe that Beichen’s people would help Xiao Jiuan.
"The Great Protector is wise." The eyes of the Great Protector's confidants suddenly lit up. Under the cover of the congregation, they shouted while killing: "General Xu, our target is also the King of Yanbei. We can temporarily cooperate."
"General Xu, I know that you, Beichen, hate King Yanbei deeply. King Yanbei is in Zhuangzi. We, the Demon Cult, are willing to be Beichen's pawns, charge into battle for Beichen, and capture King Yanbei alive."
…
After hearing what the Demon Cultist said, Xu Ziqi's heart moved for a moment.
Everyone in Beichen knows that their biggest opponent in Beichen's attack on Tianqi is Xiao Jiu'an, the king of Yanbei. If they can kill Xiao Jiu'an, the king of Yanbei, their Beichen troops can definitely defeat Tianqi, but...
"What a joke, is the King of Yanbei so easy to kill?" Ji Yunkai didn't give Xu Ziqi a chance to think about it, and said first, "If you don't say that the King of Yanbei himself is very powerful in martial arts, let's just say..."
Ji Yunkai raised his hand and pointed at Li Yuan, who was besieged by dozens of demon sect masters but was still able to do so with ease: "Just say that Li Yuan, the best master in the world, is here, and you can't do anything to King Yan Bei."
Xu Ziqi really didn't notice Li Yuan's existence before. It wasn't until Ji Yunkai pointed it out that he realized that the person was Li Yuan.
"Why is Li Yuan following King Yanbei? Li Yuan is the emperor's man." Anyone who knows a little bit about Tianqi's political affairs knows that the emperor and King Yanbei are not on good terms, and there is no way that the emperor will send Li Yuan to protect Xiao Jiu'an.
"Because Black Stone Mountain is profitable, and the benefits are great enough to make the emperor's heart sway, he is willing to temporarily shake hands with King Yanbei and make peace." Ji Yunkai said in a pretending to be mysterious.
In fact, she didn't lie to Xu Ziqi. Blackstone Mountain was indeed profitable, but most people didn't realize it.
When Xu Ziqi heard this, his heart tightened, and he became more and more certain that General Liu sent him here because he had other plans and to help Xiao Jiu'an.
This would ruin General Liu's "plan". Xu Ziqi immediately put aside his thoughts and said to his subordinates: "Don't let the demon sect's demonic words confuse the public. I, Beichen, want this Black Rock Mountain. All the people from the demon sect will be strangled."
.”
No matter what profit there is in Black Stone Mountain, first drive away the local snakes, then occupy the mountain, and then slowly plot, as for the King of Yanbei and the Emperor of Tianqi?
Sorry, Beichen took the Blackstone Mountain first. Even if Beichen and King Yanbei want to get involved, they can only take a small amount.
Even Ji Yunkai had to admire Xu Ziqi for thinking things through in an instant and making arrangements that were most beneficial to him.
A person who can fulfill the position of a general will never be a fool. No matter how good a fool is, he can only be a martial artist, but without enough brains, he cannot be the confidant of a general.
Xu Ziqi is really a good person. No wonder Liu Yuan would leave the affairs of Black Rock Mountain to him.
When Beichen's soldiers heard Xu Ziqi's words, they knew that they were killing the Demon Sect's people for Beichen's benefit, not to help Xiao Jiu'an, so they felt better and had more motivation to kill people.
"What, what is going on?" The people of the Demon Cult suddenly panicked. They all looked at me in confusion, and I looked at you...
Beichen didn't say anything before, so how come Xu Ziqi suddenly said he wanted to occupy Black Rock Mountain?
When did Blackstone Mountain, a poor place like this, become so eye-catching?
"Damn it, we fell into someone else's trap." If the Demon Cult's Great Protector still can't figure it out at this point, then he's stupid.
They thought they were smart and used the Seven Demonic Cult members to find the whereabouts of King Yanbei, but they didn't know that King Yanbei had already laid a trap to lure them here and annihilated all their main forces with the help of Beichen.
Although the death of so many hundreds of people cannot shake the foundation of the Demon Sect, with Beichen's soldiers and horses here, plus the soldiers and horses that King Yan Bei may mobilize, will their Demon Sect still have the power to fight back?
"Great Protector, what should we do now?" When everyone heard the Great Protector's words, they immediately panicked and didn't know what to do.
They are good at showing off their bravery, robbing and killing people, but they are not good at thinking about these things.
"I don't know. Let's send a message to the leader first and let him come back to take charge of the overall situation." If he calms down, the Great Protector may be able to think of a solution, but the current situation cannot allow him to think calmly. The only thing he can do now is to ask for help.
And this is exactly what Xiao Jiuan wants.
He spent so much effort just to lure out the leader of the Demon Cult...
