In the Chunyang Palace camp, Lu Yan and several other high-level officials were discussing. After testing in the past few days and today's first wave of attacks, Lu Yan had figured out the strength of Tianyun State.
Although Yunzhou's elite are weaker than their side, they are not the kind that can be crushed casually, and they still have the strength to fight.
"Only a small piece of land has gathered more than 70,000 elites. The potential of Tianyun State today is really terrifying. If Tianyun State is not destroyed this time, our three countries will indeed have no chance to suppress them in the future."
"Ancestor, our people discovered that Tianyun Prefecture borrowed heavily from major businesses, borrowing at least tens of millions of Xuanjing, which greatly increased their strength. Should we also learn from them?"
"Mu Yang, Tianyun Prefecture can do this trick, but we can't do it. Tianyun Prefecture can use Dao Ji Dan as a guarantee, so what can we use as a guarantee? And such a high interest rate is not cost-effective."
Lu Yan shook his head and said that the Tiansheng Sect's loan in Gongming City could not be hidden, and they had already found out about it. Lu Yan just thought about it and refused.
The reason is very simple. They have many interests here. There are three overlord sects plus a series of vassals. There are dozens of people who can talk. If they win the battle and the spoils are used to pay those companies, what will those forces do?
?
What's more, they don't have Dao Ji Dan as a guarantee. Without Dao Ji Dan, they don't know how many Xuan Crystals they can borrow. Why bother to lose face?
"Ancestor Lu is right. In fact, with our current strength, as long as we are willing to pay the price, we can still win. The key is how many people die."
"Muying, are the other five states and counties still unwilling to send troops?"
"Back to our ancestors, they are all in a state of uncertainty. Tiannan Province lost too quickly. The situation changed overnight, which frightened them. Moreover, the people of Tiansheng Sect Ye Xiao are constantly supporting Qintian Yunzhou.
forces, so they all chose to wait and see what happens.”
"A bunch of losers, without me, Chunyang Palace, protecting them for thousands of years, where would they be today? When something happens, don't let any of them go."
"Yes, ancestor"
"Muying, you have to work harder. Don't let those night owls get too proud. Find a way to clean them up."
"Yes, ancestor"
Lu Muying replied, but she was smiling bitterly in her heart. How many resources did Chunyang Palace give them in a year? How many Night Owls did he have? He didn't have any capable manpower at all. It was already very difficult to maintain the current situation. He wanted to destroy them.
Ye Xiao, he didn't dare to think about it, unless the sect started giving them millions of resources every year to have a chance.
"What's the news from Patriarch Wu?"
"It's still the same. There are no big battles, but there are small battles every day. Ancestor Wu has not come to fight with Li Muxue anymore. The reason is the same. He said that Li Muxue is a madman and wants to die with him."
"Wu Muyang is so shameless. It has only been less than five years since Li Muxue broke through the spiritual light. He is a veteran monk at the ninth level of spiritual light. To be forced into this by a junior, he has no face at all."
"Ancestor Lu, how much research have you done on this Li Muxue? She was unknown before, but she suddenly became famous after Daogang. What is her origin? She is younger than Lin Xiao, so Lin Xiao's rise is just a matter of time.
About two hundred years ago, before his rise, he was just a disciple of the Tiansheng Sect, and he was just a young boy. Therefore, civil strife occurred in the Tiansheng Sect before. In other words, Lin Xiao’s age was only two hundred and thirty-four, more than twenty years old.
Before he broke through the spiritual light, he was only in his early 200s. This Li Muxue may be less than 200 years old."
Yun Shaoyang said from the side that he had a breakthrough in aura when he was about three hundred years old and was known as the number one genius in all the countries in the southwestern tip of Nanzhou. However, Lin Xiao was much more confused than him. Now there is another Li Muxue, which makes him very unhappy.
, are there so many geniuses?
"There is indeed not much information about Li Muxue. I only know that she is Lin Xiao's first apprentice. She was well hidden before. After returning from Baiyu City in Qi State, she became a Dao Gang monk and a fourth-level alchemist. She was robbed
Many of our businesses have reached the level of aura within a hundred years or so. In total, they have reached the first level in eleven or twelve years. From this, we can guess that her qualifications are definitely above the best. Whether she is a Taoist body or not is unknown.
"
Lu Yan expressed his inner conjecture. The best spiritual roots, coupled with various treasures that increase qualifications, can be improved again to reach the level of some lower-ranked Taoist bodies. The cultivation speed is extremely fast, but what kind of Taoist bodies are they?
I don’t understand, because Chunyang Palace doesn’t have such a talent.
"Tianyun Prefecture is really blessed with great luck."
"It's useless no matter how strong your luck is. Ancestor Yun, where are your men and horses?"
"I arrived in Jingzhou an hour ago. It will take up to ten days to arrive."
Yun Shaoyang replied that the second batch of reinforcements from the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom were mainly composed of monks who opened the pulse and condensed the pulse. Their speed could not be very fast. They could reach hundreds of miles a day. There was still about 6,000 miles from Jingzhou to here. Ten
It's almost day.
"I will send an order back later and ask Chunyang Palace to prepare a group of dragons and horses to help with transportation and speed up the transportation. The other states and counties are unreliable. Now we can only rely on the Taoist friends from Tianshi Kingdom."
"Okay, I will send the order back and let them make the handover."
"Wu Muyang also wants Cui Yi to urge him. The war situation is so anxious and it is very disadvantageous for us. The daily consumption of 60,70,000 to 70,000 monks eating horse chews is really too great."
Lu Yan nodded. There were nearly 70,000 of them. If nothing else, they consumed hundreds of thousands of kilograms of spiritual rice every day. In just ten days, Baiyan Prefecture's spiritual rice savings had been exhausted.
We started to ask for support from Chunyang Palace, but the consumption was really too great.
"Report, report to ancestor, Tianyun Prefecture has sent hundreds of rangers to drive our cavalry detectives in the gaps in the battlefield. They want to cover the battlefield. Please make a decision, ancestor."
"In the sentinel battle, is Tianyunzhou crazy? Are you going to play sentinel battle with us?"
When Lu Yan heard this, he was a little stunned. It was a very unwise choice to use elite disciples to play sentinel warfare. In terms of elite disciples, how could Tianyun Prefecture compare to Chunyang Palace?
"Ancestor Lu, is this a scam? Lin Xiao has always been shrewd, and he doesn't seem to be a fool."
"I don't know either, but since he has taken action, we can't just sit back and wait for death, Lu Muyang."
"Here, ancestor"
"Go and choose some men and horses, and play sentinel battle with them. Remember, if there are one or two more people than them, we can do it. If there are too many, I'm afraid of scaring them away."
Lu Yan immediately ordered that if Tianyun Prefecture stayed within Lingshan, he would not dare to attack at any cost. These 60,000 to 70,000 people did not belong to his Chunyang Palace family. If too many people died, the rest of the people would not do it.
If too many people in Chunyang Palace died, he wouldn't do it himself.
Therefore, this kind of sentinel battle is exactly what Lu Yan wants. Not many people will die, it can weaken the power of Tianyun State, and it can also take advantage of the large sects of Chunyang Palace.
·········
The battle involving more than 100,000 people from both sides cannot be limited to one area, but is spread over a very wide area. Tianyun Prefecture has seized a spiritual mountain and defended it. Several mountaintops echo each other. Not only does it occupy a favorable location, it also
And there is also a mountain guard formation to protect it.
As for Chunyang Palace, the camp was set up in a plain area thirty miles in front of Lingshan. The camp of more than 60,000 people was more than ten miles long, echoing back and forth and supporting each other.
The thirty miles of plains in the middle plus the dozen miles of mountains are the battlefield where sentries from both sides fight fiercely. Both sides want to compete for the initiative in the war, so they have to cover their own sight and spy on the enemy's camp.
See if there are any loopholes that can be exploited.
At this time, both sides each sent hundreds of men and horses. These men and horses were either in groups of three, five, or seven or eight, riding on flying monsters or dragons and horses, running wildly on the plains, constantly coming and going, and fighting each other.
"Brother, the other party's sentinels are here again, this time there are six of them, and we have four left."
"How many talismans do you have left on you?"
"Not much left, I have five more."
"I have six more"
"I only have two left."
"It's enough for another fight. Let's leave each other behind and we'll go back to camp. A Zifu monk has at least 5,000 meritorious deeds. We have to work hard for Dao Ji Dan."
The leading monk thought for a moment and decided to fight again. There were nine of them out, and now there are only four left, but no one wants to retreat.
They are all monks from the Purple Mansion of the Tiansheng Sect. Now there are almost 300 people in the Purple Mansion of the Tiansheng Sect. However, Dao Ji Dan plus Xuanhuang Baoyu, the treasures that break through the Dao Gang, only have a dozen or so in forty years, so they are extremely competitive.
, if you want to go further, if there is no one to support you, you have to work hard on your own.
Therefore, the war is an opportunity for monks like them who have no backing. Only by establishing meritorious deeds in the war can they have the opportunity to obtain the Daoji Pill.
"rush"
Following the greeting from the leading monk, the four of them rode dragon horses and ran wildly. When the two sides approached, a round of spiritual talismans was smashed out, and then the two sides dismounted and fought.
The monks of Zi Mansion are not strong enough to fight in mid-air, so the fighting method is still close combat, which relies not only on the monks' martial arts skills, but also on the equipment of both sides.
The equipment of the disciples of Tiansheng Sect has always been the envy of all sects, but at this time the enemy is also the elite of Chunyang Palace, so this advantage is not very big. The next battle is the control of martial arts by both sides.
"puff"
The monk headed by Tian Sheng Sect held a huge sword and split his opponent open. Blood spurted all over him, but he just wiped the blood on his face and rushed to the next person.
"withdraw"
Six against four, but after three people from the Chunyang Palace were killed in the battle, the remaining three had collapsed. The Tiansheng Sect did not pursue any further investigation. They collected the enemy's scattered magic weapons and picked off the opponent's stored weapons.
After receiving the bag, he immediately picked up the wounded man, jumped on the dragon horse and ran away.
Similar battles are happening all the time in this area. The pulse condensation and Zifu level monks on both sides are falling every moment. Sometimes some corpses or injured people will fall from the sky.
The flying monster comes down.
However, no matter how heavy the casualties were in the outpost battle, they were not as heavy as the casualties in a large-scale battle, so both sides continued to invest monks in and fought an extremely brutal battle.
