After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 313 Sacrifice: Divine Realm!

Outside Tiannan City, about 150 miles away, near Chenhegou.

After some rest and preparation, the Nanyue soldiers began to gather and stand by. The vacuum buffer zone between Licheng and Tiannan Pass was nearly 300 miles in range.

After the previous mobilization, Zhang Ping immediately led his troops and headed straight towards Tiannan Pass.

But powerful warriors can ignore these distances, but most of the soldiers who have carried heavy loads need to replenish their physical strength, otherwise the exhausted army will attack a key town protected by a large formation.

It's no different from going to die in batches.

Even though he had the help of several great masters of divine physiognomy, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Of course, the most important reason was that he wanted to see the reaction of the Zhennan Army, whether they would really stay put as agreed and put on a show for the Central Plains court.

If it wasn't the case but a trap, then South Vietnam would suffer great losses this time.

Fortunately, Li Chengguo kept his promise.

Let go of your defense and let them do what they want.

Of course, as a price to pay, after Jiang Che is killed at Tiannan Pass, they will have to cooperate with the Zhennan Army to act out a scene of being defeated, so that both sides can have an explanation.

"With such a big commotion we've made, I'm afraid Tiannan Pass should have received the news by now." Zhou Yi sighed solemnly. They captured and killed more than ten spies from the Central Plains along the way.

But there is still no guarantee that it will not be exposed.

"It doesn't matter. Even if Jiang Che, the villain, knew about it, what could he do? He is the commander of Tiannan Pass and has the responsibility to defend the territory. He dare not run away. If he dared to run away, we wouldn't be needed.

He will be severely punished by the Central Plains court. Besides, I don't think he will necessarily run away. Without knowing that we have several great masters to help him, he may think...

This might be an opportunity to make a contribution.”

Zhang Ping smiled faintly. With the help of several grand masters and 20,000 soldiers obeying his orders, he was extremely confident at this moment. Even if Jiang Che had grand masters assisting him, he was not afraid at all.

Because as far as he knew, Jiang Che had less than 10,000 garrison troops around him, plus the Red Blood Demon Lord and the elder of the Qi family, that was all his strength.

In comparison, they have an absolute advantage.

Zhou Yi's eyes flashed, and he felt that what Zhang Ping said made sense. Jiang Che would definitely not dare to run away, and might even be arrogant enough to fight with them, but thinking of this man's extraordinary qualities.

He still advised:

"This boy is cunning, General, you must not be careless."

"Don't worry, this general understands."

Zhang Ping waved his hand, then looked at the soldiers in front of him and said in a deep voice:
"In a quarter of an hour, the troops will be dispatched to Tiannan City. They must arrive before dawn tomorrow."

"Yes!"

"Yes."

At this moment, in Tiannan City.

Looking at the streets filled with murderous atmosphere and the many mobilized troops, the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Sect, Master Shenxu, stroked his long beard lightly, with a faint smile flashing in his eyes.

Originally, he was thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity if there was one, and forcibly taking action against Jiang Che if there was no opportunity. He could not tolerate such a hidden danger continuing to threaten the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Sect.

As a result, before he could take any action, the opportunity really came.

Nanyue sent troops to attack Jiang Che.

This is definitely a good opportunity, which means that he will have a perfect excuse. He only needs to take action at the critical moment, and no one will know the cause of Jiang Che's death.

All the blame can be placed on the powerful men of the South Yue Kingdom.

No one would know that he was the one behind the plot.

In this way, even if the Beiling Qi family wanted to take revenge, they could only go to the southern barbarians.

It can be said that the Taoist sect is favored by heaven.

"Sect Master, there is news."

While Venerable Shenxu was thinking, Yan Ping appeared silently behind him and bowed to him.

"explain."

"Jiang Che is not in the city at the moment. It seems that he has taken away a group of elite troops and is preparing to launch a surprise attack on the South Vietnamese military camp," Yan Ping reported with a serious face. The news he mentioned was not a big secret in Tiannan City at the moment.

Any official with some power knows Jiang Che’s current situation.

And this was what Jiang Che did on purpose.

"He is a defender of Tiannan City. Why is he leading his troops out of the city when he is not in the city?" Taoist Shenxu frowned slightly, not quite understanding Jiang Che's thoughts.

"This, I don't understand, but according to the information I got, this person is either waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, or hiding somewhere, waiting for the Zhennan Army to come to his aid."

"Is this news accurate?"

"It's almost correct. The news has spread throughout the city."

Venerable Shenxu narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the next day. The sky had just begun to brighten when suddenly, outside the south gate of Tiannan City, a rumbling sound began to sound from far away, from light to heavy.

It was as if dark clouds covered the sky and thunder roared.

The deputy general guarding the city saw a torrent of water that seemed to have no end ahead of him, and he immediately began to beat the drum on the city gate tower, ready to alert everyone in the city.

But in fact, there was no need to beat the drums, because the huge noise of the approaching flood was enough to alarm everyone. The people were in panic, and soldiers from all sides quickly began to gather.

At the same time, on the wall of Tiannan Pass, lines began to light up and the city defense formation was activated.

Box after box of Yuan Crystals arrived quickly, ready to replenish the power of the city defense formation at any time.

Qi Tianhe, Gao Qinian, and a group of Tiannan officials at all levels gathered together.

At the same time, Qi Wanjun, also wearing green armor and holding a spear, walked to the crowd with a solemn expression.

"Wanjun, it's too dangerous here, you go back first."

Qi Tianhe frowned.

Qi Wanjun shook her head, looked at Gao Qinian and said:
"I am Jiang Che's fiancée. When he sends troops to attack South Vietnam, I should defend the territory for him. Moreover, as a Central Plains person, I should also do my part to help when foreign tribes attack."

Qi Ningbing and Huang Shanshan originally wanted to come, but were dissuaded by Qi Wanjun. She was a master of Xuandan and had some trump cards, so her lives were safe.

He had also been trained at the northern border and was not afraid of foreign invasions.

But they two can't do it because their cultivation is too weak.

Seeing Qi Wanjun's firm attitude, Qi Tianhe couldn't persuade her anymore in front of so many people. He could only shake his head helplessly, ready to take care of her at any time to prevent her from really encountering danger.

Seeing this, Gao Qinian also nodded:
"Thank you, Mrs. Jiang."

Because of Qi Wanjun's arrival, many officials and soldiers at the Tiannan City Gate gained confidence. She herself might not be a big deal, but her identity represented Jiang Che.

It was actually very risky for Jiang Che to lead his troops away, because he was the main general. Once he left, even if he explained that he was going for a surprise attack, many people would not think so.

They just thought that Jiang Che had made enemies in South Vietnam and they were afraid to face him, so they left.

Qi Wanjun's arrival will help stabilize the morale of the army.

Qi Wanjun had already told Jiang Che this before he left. Jiang Che also agreed to let Qi Wanjun go into battle, but she was not allowed to leave the city on her own initiative. Instead, she had to rely on the city defense formation.

Outside the city, the flood gradually stopped, and the 20,000 soldiers began to form a formation quickly and advance slowly until they were about a hundred feet away from the city wall. The commander Zhang Ping brought Zhou Yi, each riding a strange beast, and slowly walked to the front of the army.

"Where is my little Jiang Che? You caused a big disturbance in my Yue Kingdom palace that day. Today is the time for tit-for-tat. I am following the order of my Nanyue King to capture you and bring you back to the palace.

If you have the courage, either leave the city alone and repent, and I promise to withdraw my troops immediately and not invade our territory. Otherwise, on the day the city is captured, everyone will be killed, regardless of age!"

Zhang Ping shouted loudly, and his voice was so powerful under the blessing of the heaven and earth's vitality that it spread in all directions. "How dare the barbarians of Nanyue invade our Great Zhou territory? Today you do not know the power of heaven. One day I will destroy Nanyue and turn all your people into slaves."

Gao Qinian, who was appointed as the defending general, responded angrily.

Then, many soldiers on the city wall also shouted loudly:

"Punish the barbarians! Destroy Nanyue."

"Punish the barbarians! Destroy Nanyue."

"Hmph, attack the city!"

Zhang Ping snorted coldly, his face was very ugly. As a general in Nanyue, how could he not know what "barbarians" meant? It was the contempt of the people of the Central Plains.

At this moment, Jiang Che has not shown up yet, so it is not easy for him to use his trump card directly.

Prepare to lead the army to attack the city first, and then look for opportunities later.

With his order, 20,000 soldiers began to change their formation and spread out, slowly approaching the city wall. At the same time, black evil spirits and the blood of the soldiers were constantly condensing.

"Fire arrows!"

Gao Qinian let out a low shout.

The soldiers who had been prepared long ago fired thousands of arrows in an instant, including a large number of divine arm bows and broken arrows. If the number was large, even the protective qi of the Xuandan Grandmaster would not be able to withstand it.

The South Vietnamese side also formed a defensive formation.

However, many Nanyue soldiers still fell under the rain of arrows.

However, even so, it did not stop the South Vietnamese soldiers from attacking eagerly. When they were about fifty meters away, the front row of soldiers suddenly began to disperse and rushed towards the city wall.

And the formation suddenly became extremely aggressive.

On the wall of Tiannan Pass, the city defense formation was activated. With the accumulation of a large amount of Yuan Crystals, rays of spiritual light began to dissipate and blasted towards the dark mass of Nanyue soldiers below.

When a rain of light fell, a group of soldiers fell down.

Like a sickle cutting wheat, it forms patches.

"The strength of the Central Plains formation is indeed well-deserved." Zhou Yi looked at this scene with a very solemn expression. The reason why the Central Plains could become the Celestial Empire was because of its foundation and strength.

Whether it is formation, alchemy, or battle formation, they are far superior to Baiyue.

"No matter how strong the formation is, it is nothing in front of a truly powerful person. If this general and the other three guests work together, there is hope of breaking the formation."

Zhang Ping snorted.

"If Jiang Che doesn't show up, it's better not to reveal our cards directly. This person is really not as simple as we imagined. I'm actually very afraid of him." Zhou Yi shook his head.

"No matter how simple he is, he is just a Xuandan Grandmaster."

"General Zhang, don't you find it strange?"

"Ok?"

"We have launched an attack on the city with great fanfare, but why has Jiang Che never shown up? Could it be that he is not in Tiannan City?" Zhou Yi suddenly asked.

Zhang Ping was stunned:
"If he's not in the city, then where could he be?"

At the same time, when the Nanyue side launched a massive attack on the city, Jiang Che personally led 800 elite troops and arrived in front of Licheng. It took him twelve hours and he forced a journey of more than 300 miles.

It was a forced march, with little rest during the journey.

Just now at dawn, we arrived outside Licheng.

Looking at the almost undefended town of South Vietnam, Jiang Che curled up a smile. No matter what, if he could lead his troops to capture the town of South Vietnam this time.

It can definitely be considered a great achievement.

"Sir, I request your permission to raid Licheng."

Qi Huan rode a foreign warhorse, came up to Jiang Che and said in a deep voice.

"No rush. It won't be too late to attack the city after breakfast. Licheng is now a piece of fat meat at our fingertips." Jiang Che smiled. After a long journey, the soldiers have reached their limit.

"I don't think so. I think we should take Licheng in one go. It won't be too late to have breakfast after we take Licheng. I am willing to be the vanguard.

Lead the way and be the first to climb the mountain. "

Qi Huan had a serious look on his face and was eager to fight.

Jiang Che stared at Qi Huan for a few seconds, then smiled again:

"You always come up with something new for me. Since you have this intention, then, let's take over Licheng and have breakfast in Licheng."

"I obey my orders!"

Qi Huan nodded heavily.

Afterwards, Qi Huang rode his horse at full speed, called on eight hundred elite soldiers, and began to mobilize.

In an instant, the eight hundred hidden cavalrymen began to rush towards Licheng like a black torrent. The huge momentum caused the ground to shake continuously.

Above the city gate of Licheng.

The confused soldier suddenly felt a chill in his heart, looked at the torrent in the distance with horror, and shouted loudly:

"Beware! Beware of enemy sneak attacks!"

"The enemy attacked by surprise."

"Where's the formation? Start it quickly."

"Where's the general? General."

In an instant, the Licheng defenders, who were unprepared, were thrown into chaos. There were actually many reasons for such panic, one of which was that it was early morning.

The soldiers on night watch were drowsy, and it was time to change shifts.

On the other hand, none of them had anticipated that the Central Plains troops would suddenly attack. Even Zhang Ping did not think that Jiang Che had that ability. Therefore, the orders left behind were all normal defensive measures.

At this moment, the army is attacking suddenly, so naturally there is panic.

Of course, as an important city in South Vietnam, there were still generals guarding this place, who quickly began to stabilize the situation and prepare for defense, but at this moment, it was already a little late.

A cavalry assault, especially one by an alien species, is extremely fast.

Just as the morale of the army was stabilized, the troops led by Qi Huan had already reached the vicinity of the city wall. Then, Qi Huan stepped on the horse's back and leaped up, just as the formation was about to be activated.

Directly climbed up the city wall.

A quarter of an hour later, Licheng, an important city in South Vietnam, was declared fallen.

Jiang Che’s flag was quickly raised on the top of the city wall.

A large number of soldiers also killed people indiscriminately in the city.

Jiang Che stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the distant horizon, and slowly closed his eyes.

His mind sank into the space of the Heavenly Monument, preparing to start the next sacrifice.

[Sacrificial target: Breakthrough Divine Appearance. ]

[Sacrificial price: one thousand Yuan crystals and one Taiyin Xuanyuan spiritual energy.]
