Chapter 188: The Offensive and Defensive Battle Begins
The war started again unexpectedly.
In the end, Ji Zheng led his new army and the Zhenbei Army to form a total of 20,000 people, collectively known as the Northern Army, to meet the incoming Northern Wei soldiers.
The barbarians did not come because they only wanted to plunder but did not really want to capture the city.
But just the arrival of these 50,000 Wei soldiers was enough to make people feel that a storm was about to come.
The 20,000 troops of the Western Qin Dynasty were composed of half the new army and half the defeated army. It didn't look like they could hold it.
What's more important is that they still lack ordnance, and many of the ordnance are improvised from wood.
In the end, Su Li didn't solve the problem of weapons and equipment for them... He originally wanted to go back to the sect and ask for a batch, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
Solving the food problem for them is already a great favor. If weapons and equipment are also provided, it will be their turn to wonder if Jian Zong has ulterior motives... This is how things are in the world. If you give too much kindness, there will be consequences.
The risk of antagonism.
The contact between Jian Zong and Ji Zheng should also be gradual, rather than complete in one step.
The soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty came to the gate of the temporary military stronghold silently. After a moment of silence, they launched a terrifying charge.
These soldiers, all in black armor, were silent and fearless of death, as if they were a group of puppets.
For the remnants of the Zhenbei Army and the new recruits who had already suffered heavy losses, this was a heavy pressure.
Fortunately, there are hundreds of Sword Sect disciples in the Northern Army. These are the real mainstay of the Northern Army.
These Sword Sect disciples are all young third-generation disciples who were called by Feixuezi to help.
An ordinary sect would definitely not be able to do this kind of thing, sending disciples to the secular battlefield for training, but for the Sword Sect, this is a routine operation.
It's just that in the past, they usually concealed their identities, just like Feixuezi earlier, but now they join in under the name of Jian Zong, which also shows that Jian Zong is not afraid of taking over the cause and effect with Ji Zheng!
But in fact, only the Xiantian realm disciples participated in the war, because the survival rate on such a battlefield is too low if the cultivation level is not Xiantian, but if it exceeds Xiantian...
The golden elixir is the beginning of the true cultivation of immortality. It is already transcendent from the mortal world, but it is not suitable to be involved in human disputes. Otherwise, I am afraid that there will be a risk of death due to the entanglement of cause and effect.
With this group of Sword Sect disciples as the vanguard to resist the attack of the terrifying group of soldiers, the Beijun camp was able to withstand the first wave of the opponent's most popular attacks, and gave the 20,000 soldiers room to adapt and grow.
However, the soldiers' aggressiveness was so strong that a big hole was punched out of the outer wall of the camp that Ji Zheng spent a month supervising to build.
This forced the Northern Army to give up its relatively safe position on the wall and compete with the soldiers in this small space.
"Damn it, it's all my fault. This camp should be built stronger." Ji Zheng was very upset. He felt that he should be able to do better.
Su Li suddenly thought of something and asked Changchunzi next to him: "Teacher Changchunzi, I wonder if it was my misunderstanding just now. It seems that there are signs of magic in the enemy formation?"
Changchunzi nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "I have heard about the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty for a long time!"
"This is a powerful soldier trained by the Taoist military method. There should be practitioners in the formation to secretly bless it."
Su Li was very inspired after hearing this. This meant that there were actually monks hiding among the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty, and the blessing method enabled the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty to break through the outer wall of the camp built by Ji Zheng.
Otherwise, with Ji Zheng's temperament, Su Li really didn't believe that he would cut corners when building the exterior wall.
"In that case, can the teacher take action?" Su Li asked expectantly.
Changchunzi shook his head: "Even so, I am not a Taoist soldier after all. If I take action, I am afraid that I will be disadvantaged by the Mahayana calamity."
"What about me?" Su Li asked again.
"Yes!" Changchunzi answered simply this time.
Because in theory, Su Li hasn't really started to 'defy heaven' yet!
Only when the golden elixir that has formed the fruit of the Immortal Realm begins to truly defy heaven, will heaven and earth completely count him into the Immortal Realm. Therefore, in theory, he does not need to bear the responsibility of human nature when he participates in battlefield attacks with his current cultivation level in the Xiantian Guizhen Realm.
Causal.
Originally, a large number of those who entered Taoism through martial arts in this world were generals of great powers, and after they successfully formed the elixir, they would never be able to personally charge into battle. Even commanding operations would have to bear a heavy responsibility.
So it doesn't matter if Su Li really wants to go to the battlefield to fight at this time, but because fighting on the battlefield does not distinguish between good and evil, it is inevitable that he will be stained with karma after all...
Of course, those Qing Xiu sects kept this secret, but the Sword Sect was originally on the path of killing and took these karma very lightly.
Especially since Su Li still has so many merits and virtues to protect his body, why should he panic? If he really wanted to kill, he could even become a murderer who can bring Buddhas to thousands of families!
The current situation was already quite dangerous, and Su Li felt that he needed to help.
He left Chang Chunzi's side and came to the high platform where Ji Zheng and Song Rui were.
This high platform is located in the middle of the camp, and you can overlook the overall situation when commanding operations.
At this time, Ji Zheng saw Su Li arriving and asked with a heavy tone, clasping his fists: "Mr. Su, is there any good way to solve this predicament?"
Su Li didn't care about anything, he just said gently: "My lord, please be at ease. Although it is inconvenient for us monks to join this human expedition, if there are also monks on the opposite side to participate, it will not be a problem."
Ji Zheng looked stunned, and then said with some surprise: "Sir, are you saying that there are monks to help Wei Wu's soldiers?"
"Otherwise, how could the wall built under the supervision of the young master be defeated by the opponent in one blow?" Su Li said something to make Ji Zheng feel relieved.
"What are you going to do now, sir?" he asked again.
"Give me a moment, I need to find the Wei monk among this warrior..." Su Li said, his sharp eyes already patrolling the local formation.
His Cloud Piercer can not only send his spells to distant places, but also enable his senses to detect things in the distance!
However, there were a large number of Wei soldiers and they were all uniformly dressed. It was really difficult for him to patrol among these 50,000 people.
But at this moment, the head of the sausage came out of the pocket on his shoulder. It sniffed, and then called twice in one direction...
Su Li finally came to his senses... If he wanted to find someone, even if he had the intention to penetrate the clouds, he would still be no match for Rouchang Dog Nose!
He looked in the direction pointed by the meat sausage, only to see that there was indeed something unusual about a Wei soldier there...
Although he is dressed in the same attire as the people around him, he does not really participate in the killing. He only looks at the entire battle situation from time to time. The soldiers around him still form a protective posture towards him.
surrounded...
"That's him!" Su Li determined the target... It doesn't matter if he is wrong. Is killing someone by mistake on the battlefield called a wrong kill?
