Lin Xiao raided Seven Star City this time and brought 150,000 elites with him. He left secretly after the battlefield yesterday. He took the fastest flying boat Lin Xiao had and took a long detour. He only arrived at Seven Star City at midnight today.
.
However, Lin Xiao only spent 50,000 people and easily captured the Seven Star City. This was due to the work of Meng Qi and others. It also relied on Lin Xiao's methods to force Kang Duhe away and contain Li Wuyuan. Otherwise, what would happen?
It's that easy.
The senior monks of Qixing Pavilion had no fighting spirit, so the battle went much more smoothly. After dawn, Qixing City had fallen into Lin Xiao's hands. In fact, not many people died in the fierce battle throughout the night. It was estimated that not even 10,000 people died.
Most people escaped by climbing over the city wall. After all, the city wall was nothing to the immortal cultivators.
After dawn, Meng Qi's people led the Nanzhou monks to plunder wantonly. They knew exactly where the treasury was and where the big business houses were. After this operation, they would also return to Nanzhou, so they were not afraid at all.
offend people.
"Head"
"Meng Qi, congratulations, you can retire honorably after this action."
"It's only thanks to the guidance of the leader that I can achieve such great achievements."
"Reward you"
Lin Xiao threw out a jade slip. Meng Qi saw it and was overjoyed. It contained an order from Lin Xiao, asking Ye Nanyu to accept one of Meng Qi's youngest sons as his direct disciple. Meng Qi knew that Ye Nanyu would definitely not refuse. He
My son's future is very bright.
"Master, Meng Qi still has something to ask for."
"explain"
"Can you ask the leader not to burn the Seven Star City? This is the home of millions of monks and mortals. Once burned, many people will die. Leave them some hope."
"If you can have such a kind heart, I am sure of it."
"Thank you, Master"
"Go and do the work. The army will withdraw from Seven Star City before noon."
"yes"
At this time, there were only sporadic battles left in Seven Star City, which did not affect the overall situation. Under the organized looting, the important places in Seven Star City were looted, but most of the residential areas and the like were left untouched by the Nanzhou monks.
, at noon, the 50,000-strong army slowly withdrew from Qixing City.
At this time, Yun Zhonghe had also defeated the Yun family and killed the enemies who had framed him. Yun Zhonghe then took away hundreds of Yun family members and a large amount of treasure.
"Meng Qi, I'll give you a thousand men. Take Yunzhonghe and the loot to retreat. Go to the Nanzhou camp first. Someone will send you away then."
"Leader Lin, I want to stay and help out."
"Just bring a few people to stay, and the rest will leave."
Lin Xiao did not refuse. Yun Zhonghe was also a Shenxu stage monk after all, so it would be good to have one more.
Meng Qi quickly evacuated with a thousand guards, Ye Xiao and the Yun family's troops, while Lin Xiao formed a formation in front of the Seven Star Pavilion. At this time, the chaos in the Seven Star Pavilion had passed and it was already daylight, so the front line of the Seven Star Pavilion should have already taken action.
"Report, report to the alliance leader, there is news from the front sentry, a large army is approaching, the number of people and horses is unknown, it is estimated to be between 100,000 and 200,000."
"Report, report to the alliance leader, there is news from the Nanzhou Camp. The Qixing Pavilion army is unable to retreat today. The Qingyang Sect is asking whether to attack by force."
"Reply to the Qingyang Sect, stop attacking and just use coercion."
Lin Xiao asked someone to reply that there was no point in attacking at this time. However, Yun Guguang only sent 200,000 troops and less than 200,000 troops, so he committed a military taboo and resorted to such things as fueling tactics. Lin Xiao decided to take this advantage.
Centaur.
Half a day later, the Qixing Pavilion troops arrived. When they saw the Nanzhou army waiting in formation, they were immediately frightened and stopped immediately, preparing to set up camp for a confrontation.
"How can I make you so happy, Bai Zichen?"
"exist"
"Lead 50,000 troops to attack. This alliance leader will lead the main force to hold the battle for you. Pay attention to maintaining the rhythm."
"yes"
Bai Zichen shouted angrily, and then led 50,000 elites, mounted dragon horses and attacked. These 50,000 elites were all carefully selected by Lin Xiao before, and the equipment was also the strongest. They rushed out boldly. Lin Xiao led the remaining elites.
The dismounted men followed immediately.
The returning reinforcements from Qixing Pavilion originally wanted to camp and confront each other. This was the best way to deal with it. However, the monks were not happy with it. The people in Qixing Pavilion were all their relatives and friends. Now that the city was destroyed, they were very worried about the lives of their relatives.
Safety, I just want to expel Lin Xiao and others as soon as possible, and don't want to delay it any longer.
So when Bai Zichen led 50,000 troops to attack, the returning monks immediately decided to fight. They had 180,000 troops, which was numerically superior.
Bai Zichen was overjoyed when he saw that the enemy did not use the camp to set up a defensive formation but actually wanted to fight him. Bai Zichen had fought so many battles and it was rare to see such an idiot high-ranking officer.
Without saying a word, Bai Zichen ordered the army to speed up. Fifty thousand monks turned into cavalry and directly broke through the enemy's battle formation with an earth-shattering momentum. Bai Zichen led the cavalry to charge back and forth, messing up the enemy's battle formation and immediately entered
In the middle of a chaotic fight.
The troops under Bai Zichen's command were extremely elite, and the opponent was a tired force who had come from thousands of miles away to support them. Even without Lin Xiao's help, they fought vigorously with the opponent.
When Lin Xiao arrived at the battlefield with 100,000 troops in perfect order and formation, the enemy's morale was almost gone and some people began to flee.
"Don't let go, kill"
Lin Xiao asked 50,000 of them to disband the battle formation and move to both sides, while the remaining 50,000 moved forward to kill the enemy.
The mob had no ability to resist in front of the battle formation. Large numbers of monks were harvested by the Nanzhou army. When the death rate exceeded 30%, the Seven Star Pavilion monk army collapsed. However, it was a pity that with Lin Xiao's preparation, he could really
Less than 10,000 people escaped, and most of the rest were captured.
"Leader Lin, what should we do with these prisoners?"
"Have all the things been confiscated?"
“It’s quick, it’ll be ready soon”
"Crane in the Cloud"
"Here, I'll give you a chance to become a big boss, and the Yun family will also respect your orders from now on, how about that?"
"Please give me instructions, Leader Lin"
"There are more than 100,000 prisoners here. I will give them all to you. In addition, I will give you 3,000 Nanzhou monks to listen to your orders. You are responsible for instigating these people to rebel. How many people you can instigate depends on your ability. From now on, they will all be yours."
How about my subordinates?”
"Is this true?"
"I can't lie to you in front of everyone"
"Thank you, Alliance Leader Lin. Don't worry, Alliance Leader Lin, Yun Zhonghe will be responsible for you in the future."
"Let's talk about it later. The people Chen Hongyan left behind will also be given to you."
Lin Xiao nodded. Chen Hongyan was an idealist. Lin Xiao heard Meng Qi report back many times. Unfortunately, Lin Xiao died without ever seeing him. Lin Xiao was willing to give them a future for the people he had attracted.
Yun Zhonghe, Zhang Feiyu and others had known each other for a long time. They only had more than 200 people in total, but they soon became Yun Zhonghe's core team, selecting people among the prisoners.
These are the monks of Qixing Pavilion, and many of them are known to them. Zhang Feiyu took the lead in selecting many people with no background like them and persuaded them to join him.
Yun Zhonghe was mainly to win over the people of the Yun family. Yun Zhonghe had restored his original appearance at this time. As a member of the Yun family, many Yun family disciples were willing to surrender. By the next morning, they had
More than two thousand people.
Lin Xiao left 3,000 men to assist Yun Zhonghe and others, and then led the remaining 100,000 horses south. At this time, Yun Guguang, who was among the Qixing Pavilion army, already knew the news that the reinforcements had been eaten, which made him realize that his
The strategy was wrong. We no longer dared to send people in small batches, and instead chose to march the entire army northward.
There are still more than one million people in the Qixing Pavilion army at this time. It is very difficult to move when there are threats from outside. The Qingyang Sect and the Nanzhou army also started their own harassment. They used dragon horses and flying boats to
, even monks above Daogang formed a small team, constantly harassing them, and eating their troops bit by bit. If the Seven Star Pavilion monks led a team to counterattack, they would quickly retreat and hide among the army.
This harassment tactic seems to have no effect, but the accumulated results are very high. On the first day, they had thousands of results, and the Qixing Pavilion army only traveled less than a thousand miles, which was the distance from them to Qixing City.
There are still more than ten thousand miles.
What's more critical is the morale of the monks. One of their lairs was taken away, the army fled in panic, and there was a powerful enemy on the side. This kind of pressure was very great and not something ordinary people could bear. When they camped at night, there were actually monks there.
He cried so loudly that he almost caused the camp to roar.
Even at night, Nanzhou monks are not willing to let go of this opportunity. Countless sentinel rangers are dispatched to fight with the opponent's sentinel rangers. Once the advantage is confirmed, a team of monks will come out from the Nanzhou army.
They are the artillery team of the Nanzhou army. Several people are responsible for a Xuanjing cannon. They set up a Xuanjing cannon outside the Qixing Pavilion army, then fired a few shots and left quickly.
On the second day, Yun Guguang changed his tactics and sent elite troops to guard the outside of the army, while the army moved faster.
Of course, the enemy's strategy has changed, and the Nanzhou monks have also changed their strategy. They sent a large number of troops to attack the main force of Qixing Pavilion, delaying their speed. On the other hand, they sent more troops to take advantage of the situation.
Use your troops to eat these elites.
After repeating this for five days, the Qixing Pavilion army completed half of the journey at the cost of more than 200,000 horses. At this time, Lin Xiao occupied several important passes along the way forward.
, if they had to take a detour, they would have to walk thousands of miles, and the Qixing Pavilion army came to an end.
Naturally, Yun Guguang would not admit defeat. He ordered the army to stop moving, and then chose a place to defend. He followed Lin Xiao's example, dug a large number of ditches, rammed earthen walls, and put up a huddled defense. On the other hand, he sent troops to follow
Lin Xiao approached and threatened to negotiate peace.
Lin Xiao knew that he was stalling for time, but he did not refuse directly. On the one hand, Lin Xiao pretended to negotiate for peace, and on the other hand, he sent an army to surround the Qixing Pavilion army, and mobilized more Xuanjing cannons to blast away the opponent's turtle formation.
At this time, Lin Xiao was not afraid that he would die.
However, what Lin Xiao didn't expect was that before he could break through the turtle formation in the Seven Star Pavilion, he had received news from Nanzhou, Kunlun, Qingyang Sect, Haoyang Sect and other parties that the demon clan was taking action.
