Chapter seven hundred and ninety seventh unplugged nails
As soon as Patriarch Dai led the people away, Song Zuyi immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare for war. The Lingjing Sect was originally a renovated fortress, but it fell quickly because there were too few defenders. Now the Nanzhou monks can reuse these things.
However, Song Zuyi did not passively defend on the mountain. There were more than 20,000 men and horses on the mountain. He selected 5,000 elites to take a flying boat and hide in the clouds.
Song Zuyi knew very well what kind of power he had in his hands. Even though there were more than 20,000 people here, these people had not been trained in battle formations and could not engage in battle formation duels. They could only fight in a melee. What they wanted was to break the situation.
.
Not long after, the outpost of the Yunxiao Sect's army arrived. The sentries from both sides were constantly fighting. There were monks fighting each other everywhere. However, the armies of both sides remained unmoved. The Yunxiao Sect's army continued to advance steadily.
The leader of the Yunxiao Sect was cautious in nature, and the army moved very slowly. It took most of a day to complete the three-hundred-mile journey, and sent out sentries constantly to conduct detection to see if there were any traps.
Encountering such a cautious opponent, Song Zuyi had no better way but to fight hard. Song Zuyi sent dozens of people to bypass the Yunxiao Sect army to gather more troops. The teams in the Nanzhou operation were still fighting.
After gathering for just half a day, more than 2,000 people arrived from the outside.
The Nanzhou monks on Lingjing Mountain refused to give up their outer positions and sent tens of thousands of people to garrison in Qianshan. They soon fought with the Yunxiao Sect monks. When the battle was in full swing, Song Zuyi led a flying boat to descend from the sky and attack from the side.
Defeated the Yunxiao Sect's army.
The Yunxiao Sect army continued to retreat, and it took them more than fifty miles to stabilize. Song Zuyi knew that the men and horses in his hands were all rabble, and he did not dare to chase too far, so he immediately led his troops to retreat and found a hilltop in Lingjing Mountain.
Stationed there, they echoed the monks in Lingjing Mountain from a distance, and they were like horns to each other, and the gathered people and horses also continued to gather.
Unwilling to be defeated, the Yunxiao Sect monks made some adjustments and quickly pressed forward again. This time they did not attack rashly, but chose to contain the opponent and summoned troops to assist in the battle.
Now the two sides are fighting for the rescue force. But in the hinterland of the Immortal Alliance, how can the Nanzhou monks be better than the Yunxiao Sect. The reinforcements of the Nanzhou monks are numerous in various actions, ranging from dozens of people to thousands of people.
The Yunxiao Sect's reinforcements came as reinforcements. When another dawn came, the Yunxiao Sect's army was more than 70,000 strong, while the Nanzhou side only had less than 40,000. The disparity in strength between the two sides was almost doubled.
With enough men and horses, the Yunxiao Sect troops divided into two groups, one attacking Lingjing Mountain and the other attacking the hilltop where Song Zuyi was stationed. Now both sides were more rabble-rous, and it was all a melee.
More than 100,000 people fought on a front that was seven or eight miles long, and the blood flowed like rivers. Day and night, a large number of monks fell into a pool of blood, but the monks who followed continued to follow.
"Bring up the battleships and Xuanjing cannon and blast them to death."
Seeing the soldiers and horses under his command being killed continuously, the senior monks of the Yunxiao Sect felt their hearts bleed and were furious. They kept issuing orders to eradicate these soldiers and horses completely.
Xuanjing cannon and battleships are considered to be heavy weapons in the world of immortality. They were not prepared before to quickly chase the enemy, so now they specially mobilized them from the rear. Once Xuanjing cannon and battleships are in place, one by one of these troops, they will all be destroyed.
Behead.
"Sir, the Yunxiao Sect's warship has arrived, what should I do?"
An hour later, the Nanzhou monks guarding the periphery discovered the Yunxiao Sect's warship and quickly informed Song Zuyi, which made Song Zuyi's face suddenly change.
Nanzhou monks dispatched 170,000 people. In addition to the 50,000 bandits who were abandoned under Xuanyang City, there should be 120,000 people. Now Song Zuyi counted less than 60,000 people, which means half of them are still there.
Outside, all the leaders of each team have lost contact, and he doesn't know how many of the 60,000 people are left.
But he knew that once they withdrew from here, these 60,000 people would have no way of survival at all, and would only be hunted down and killed one by one by the Immortal Alliance monks.
"Rush over and go to Lingjing Mountain"
Song Zuyi only hesitated for a moment, and immediately led his team to rush forward, abandoning this peripheral position, and fought with the monks of Lingjing Mountain. Then he returned to the mountain gate of Lingjing Mountain, and set up a large formation, protected by the formation shield, and the Xuanjing Cannon on the battleship.
You can't defeat the monks.
The outer position was occupied by Yunxiao Sect monks. They set up dozens of Xuanjing cannons, and together with the battleship, more than 80 Xuanjing cannons attacked at the same time. The fifth-level protective formation was immediately crumbling.
"Master Song, we know too little about the Lingjing Sect. We don't even know its size. The protective formation cannot exert its strength. It will not be able to hold on for an hour at most."
"I know, let the disciples retreat to the peaks inside the mountain gate and hide. I will lead the main force to fight and retreat. When they come in, I will rush down from the left and right peaks and defeat them.
I have ordered the monks outside to find a place to regroup. As long as we hold on outside for one day, we can evacuate after one day, and the Nanzhou army will have reinforcements to meet us."
Song Zuyi replied that Lingjing Mountain was besieged and the monks outside could not get in. They had to find a way out on their own, find a place to regroup, and then evacuate. The same was true for them.
If we persist for one more day, it will be the third day of the operation. If we haven't evacuated in three days, there is no hope of evacuating, so we can't control that much. And there must be support from the Nanzhou army. Song Zuyi asked Dai Laozu
Among the people escorted away were his confidants, who would tell Lin Xiao what happened here.
In less than an hour, the protective formation hastily set up on Lingjing Mountain was breached. Countless Yunxiao Sect monks rushed in. Song Zuyi led a team to block the attack, fighting and retreating.
Those who rushed in were all the vanguards of Yunxiao Sect. They were separated from the command from the rear. The battlefield was too chaotic and they could not command. The people in the vanguard wanted to pester Song Zuyi's men and prevent them from escaping. They did not think that it was a trap.
After they had chased them for more than ten miles, there was a sound of cannon, and more than 3,000 people were killed on each side of the two peaks, cutting off the Yunxiao Sect's army. The Yunxiao Sect's commander was greatly frightened, and desperately charged for rescue.
Song Zuyi turned around and fought back, attacking from both sides. The Yunxiao Sect's vanguard was severely defeated. If the Yunxiao Sect's main force had not arrived quickly, the thousands of men in the vanguard might have been annihilated, but less than half of them managed to escape.
The leader of the Yunxiao Sect knew that these people were not easy to mess with and did not dare to attack again. He retreated a few miles and surrounded the mountain gate, preparing to dispatch more reinforcements. By this time, it was already dark.
"Master Song, we still have more than 30,000 people and more than 1,000 seriously injured people. There are not enough flying boats."
"The seriously injured will get on the flying boat, and the rest of the troops will break out with me. Starting in the middle of the night, let the disciples have a good meal to restore their profound energy."
"yes"
Everyone distributed the trophies they had captured and strengthened their weapons. Each monk sat on the ground, holding mysterious crystals in their hands and swallowing pills in their mouths, trying to restore their profound energy as much as possible and prepare to break out of the encirclement.
Three hundred miles away from Lingjing Mountain, monks who came from all over the country were also fighting fiercely. Their troops were discovered by the Yunxiao Sect's reinforcements and refused to let them go. They were encircling and suppressing them. They also fought and retreated, heading south.
The Zhou army retreated.
At this time, in the front line, Bai Zichen led 50,000 cavalry to break through the opponent's front line and attack the hinterland of the Immortal Alliance. After Lin Xiao learned the news of A Qing's death in battle, he was immediately furious. The army, which was just a feint attack, immediately
It turned into a desperate fight, and Bai Zichen led 50,000 troops into the hinterland to pick up the remaining troops.
The movement of 50,000 cavalrymen was so loud that it was impossible to hide it from the people of the Immortal League. However, the army of the Immortal League could not stop them at all. Bai Zichen did not attack the city. He immediately detoured when he encountered obstacles, using the high mobility of the cavalry to quickly
of mobility.
There were many enemies chasing the 50,000-strong army, but Bai Zichen didn't care at all. He had only one purpose, which was to assist his own people in evacuating.
A dragon horse can travel thousands of miles in a day, and the speed of charging is even faster. One day and night passed, Bai Zichen had already broken into the vicinity of Lingjing Mountain. The monks surrounded by Yunxiao Sect saw the Nanzhou army appear and immediately collapsed. Bai Zichen received the first
Criticize your own people.
"Where is Song Zuyi?"
"Still in Lingjing Mountain, haven't rushed out yet"
"Leave 10,000 people in formation here and tell the monks who haven't arrived yet that we will wait here for half a day and leave after half a day. If you don't wait when it is late, the remaining people will rush with me."
Without saying a word, Bai Zichen left 10,000 people behind, and the rest immediately rushed to Lingjing Mountain. When the Yunxiao Sect's army learned that Bai Zichen was coming, they were horrified and hurriedly formed an array to stop them. Bai Zichen didn't even have any organization.
Instead of facing the enemy in battle formation, they directly attack the opponent's battle formation at great risk and casualties.
The high-level monks led by Bai Zichen charged forward, faster than a dragon and horse. The battle formation only made three attacks before being penetrated by Bai Zichen, and the two sides started fighting again.
The Yunxiao Sect monks had been fighting hard for three days since they were intercepted by A Qing. Everyone was exhausted. They were no match for Bai Zichen and others. The battle formation collapsed and they rushed into Lingjing Mountain.
At this time, there was still fierce fighting in Lingjing Mountain. Originally, Song Zuyi was about to break out in the middle of the night, but the Yunxiao Sect people had already anticipated their actions and sent people who practiced eye skills to monitor them secretly. As soon as Song Zuyi made a move, the Yunxiao Sect army overwhelmed them.
Coming up, without giving them a chance to break out, they could only continue to fight hard.
Yunxiao Sect had a large number of people. Song Zuyi and others were forced into the core area of Lingjing Mountain. They were cut into several pieces and hid on various peaks to fight to the end. Originally, these people had no way to survive, but Bai Zichen directly killed them.
The rear of Yunxiao Sect gave them hope.
They came down from the mountain and immediately formed a pincer attack. The Yunxiao Sect army collapsed first, but Bai Zichen had no intention of chasing them. He picked up the troops and immediately retreated to join the remaining 10,000 troops.
After that, he turned around and rushed towards the Nanzhou army.
