Chapter 188: Eight Hundred Hongze Troops, Heavy Snow Attacks Enemy Camp

"Master!"

"boom--"

The nine disciples knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.

then.

At the butler's signal, they stopped disturbing them and left one after another.

Lu Ji was the last one to leave.

"Boss!"

Third Senior Brother Nie Yuan chased after him: "What's going on? Could it be..."

"Master has given everything to me."

Lv Ji walked forward with a gloomy look on his face: "Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear, and a technique above that of a Martial Saint."

"This……"

Nie Yuan thought: "This is passing on the mantle to Junior Brother! Why is this... Junior Brother is good, but he has only been a disciple for more than two years. Isn't it a bit hasty for Master to do this?"

"Yeah, why..."

Lu Ji suddenly stopped, then grabbed his junior brother's collar and said, "Junior brother, tell me why! In terms of cultivation aptitude, I am the best, and in terms of military merit and reputation, I am also the highest! In terms of friendship, don't I treat you as my own brothers!

"You really want to deny me just because of those insignificant people? Really... is it that serious?!
“I can’t figure it out, I really can’t figure it out!
"What do those people have to do with me, and what do they have to do with Master!"

At the end of his words, he loosened his grip and pounded the ground with his fist in restraint.

"Ugh……"

Nie Yuan sighed and said, "To be honest, Master is a weird person... But it is also possible that Master takes extra care of Junior Brother because he has only been a disciple for a short time."

"After the master disappeared."

Lu Ji said in a deep voice: "The position of the commander-in-chief will be vacant. Only if I take that position can I protect you."

"should be no problem."

Nie Yuan analyzed: "Even if Junior Brother inherits the Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear and... marries Junior Sister, he only has one battalion of soldiers under his command. In terms of seniority, he is still not as experienced as Senior Brother, and His Majesty should be more inclined towards Senior Brother."

"We must fight this battle well."

Lu Ji slowly pulled his fist out from the sunken stone floor, and his voice became particularly heavy and firm: "Fight for the North, fight for the world to see! I, Lu Ji, am the eldest disciple of Sun Xiangzong, and the one that everyone in the Northern Liang Army will be loyal to in the future!"

……

"Bang bang bang!"

early morning.

The hired villagers placed boxes of gold, silver, jewelry and silk in the courtyard of the Governor-General's Mansion, and the most famous matchmaker in Liangzhou City came to talk, which was considered a formal proposal of marriage.

The wedding date was set after the grassland war.

The most urgent task is to win this battle first.

The master did not say anything about the Luotian Mountains, which meant that he had other plans. I should just focus on military affairs.

Also.

I also need to tell Sister Lan about marrying Senior Sister Sun.

Gu Xinlan will definitely be fine.

It’s just that the house is a little too small to accommodate us.

A courtyard with three entrances.

The first courtyard is for the maids, the second courtyard is for Sister Lan, and the backyard is where I practice and live with Ningxiang and the others. Now with the addition of Senior Sister Sun, there needs to be at least one more courtyard.

Not to mention……

Chen Yunxi is growing up day by day, and Chen Duhe also wants to have his own place to live in the future.

It's time to move to a bigger house.

of course.

This is not a problem for Chen Sanshi as he has plenty of money.

"The master is back."

Siqin Mohua was waiting at the door to greet them.

Chen Sanshi did not waste any time.

We will set out for an exploration of Tiger Hill in a few days. Before that, it would be best if we could break through to the Great Perfection of Xuan Xiang.

After taking the Yangjing Pill, it will definitely be too late to just practice.

But if I can refine a few more meridian-nourishing pills and pair them with the Zouwu heart, a few days will be enough!

"You want me to do it again?"

Zhao Zhao began to chop wood and add water in preparation for refining the elixir.

"This is the apprentice."

Ningxiang tapped and said, “In the world of immortal cultivation, you have to pay spirit stones before you can learn.”

"boom--"

The red flames rose up.

The array patterns of the alchemy furnace were activated layer by layer, absorbing the strange fire and then conducting it into the interior.

Chen Sanshi stood by and added rare treasures one by one according to the time.

Linghe is the most basic raw material.

Moreover, with the help of the alchemy furnace, the spiritual herbs melted as soon as they entered the water, and soon the water in the furnace was dyed green. Moreover, they needed to be added continuously in large quantities in batches.

Then, there are the rest of the materials.

Hanjincao, Baozhimu, Shujinghua...

Each item here is a natural treasure bought from Dazefang Market. They need to be grown in a place with abundant spiritual energy and over a long period of time. Any one of them alone has an immeasurable value in the mortal world.

The Yangjing Pill contains thirty-six major changes and sixty-three minor changes, which is much more complicated than the Qigong Pill.

"boom!"

"Buzz, boom, boom!"

When most of the materials were added, the alchemy furnace began to react violently, as if a tsunami was suppressed inside and was about to erupt. Chen Sanshi mobilized his magic power, placed his hands on it, and "merged" the alchemy furnace into one through the formation, and then sensed the changes in it through his spiritual consciousness.

Even if it's not the first time.

He still marveled at the mystery of the alchemy furnace.

Materials, formations, forms...

No matter which one it is, it is impossible to uncover the mystery overnight.

Inside the alchemy furnace.

He vaguely saw that each piece of natural treasure was becoming extremely huge. With the blessing of their strange fire and magic power, they were constantly colliding with each other. The changes caused by each collision contained the truth of the great way.

As expected, the first attempt to refine the Meridian Nourishing Pill failed again.

Moreover, the materials wasted afterwards were even more than those of the Qigong Pill. It took him seven or eight attempts before he managed to refine an inferior pill. It was not until the ninth time that he finally mastered the trick and proficiently controlled the ninety-six variations of it.

"Buzz!"

Just at this moment, the golden smoke wood burned out, and the patterns on the alchemy furnace seemed to have lost its energy supply. They dimmed one after another, and the furnace opened, revealing a turquoise-green pill.

Yangjing Dan, a good product.

Chen Sanshi breathed a sigh of relief.

At least not all the materials were wasted.

Even this is a huge loss!
Although he had an excellent talent for alchemy, he was still losing money in the early stages of alchemy.

How easy is it to cultivate the hundreds of arts?
It is said.

Most alchemists would normally only refine one or two of the elixirs they are most familiar with to ensure a profit. Very few people would refine multiple elixirs, as this would not only waste time but also often result in a loss of money.

Chen Sanshi is obviously the exception.

[Skill: Alchemy (Not yet started)]

【Progress: 50/100】

[Effect: None]

Halfway through.

Chen Sanshi estimated that after he refined the Zhenwu Pill, he would be able to get started, and refining pills at that time would not be so difficult.

That's it.

He waved his sleeves and put all the things into the storage bag.

"Oh, I almost forgot something. Ningxiang, come here for a moment."

Chen Sanshi took out a parchment scroll from his arms.

This is a contract between the two of them.

After the banquet last night, Fourth Senior Brother returned it to him.

He asked: "How do I resolve this?"

"Release?"

Ningxiang came closer, Qiushui's eyes wavered a little: "General, are you serious?"

"Hurry."

Chen Sanshi urged: "I still need to practice."

"First chant the spell, then cast the spell, and finally tear up this contract."

Ningxiang sat down beside him: "General, I will teach you."

Teach step by step.

Chen Sanshi did everything he was told, and finally burned Ningxiang to ashes with strange fire in front of her.

He said, "From now on, you are free. If you want to leave, you can leave now. If you want to stay, I will protect you two on behalf of the master."

"The general is so kind and righteous, I will definitely not let him down."

Ningxiang's sleeves fluttered down, and she pointed her finger to the sky, saying solemnly: "Ningxiang swears here today that in this life, I am willing to be Chen Sanshi's protector and serve him. If I disobey, I will be struck by lightning and my reincarnation will be cut off."

"Master? You, you, you..."

Zhao Zhao stuttered, "Why did you even swear the Heavenly Dao Oath? Doesn't it mean that you really can't change your mind from now on?"

Chen Sanshi was a little puzzled by her sudden oath: "Heavenly oath?"

"The Heavenly Oath is different from a contract."

Zhao Zhao explained like a teacher: "The master can control the life and death of the contractee. For example, if you were unhappy and tore up the contract before, you could have taken the life of a low-level cultivator.

“But Heaven swears otherwise.

"You can't use your oath to take the initiative to do anything to my master. Instead, my master himself cannot break his oath. Otherwise, every time he breaks through in his cultivation in the future, he will be punished by his inner demons or heaven until he dies.

“The most important thing is that the contract can be interpreted, but the Heavenly Dao Great Oath will accompany you for the rest of your life.

"Master, why are you doing this?"

"It's just a token of my sincerity."

Ningxiang saluted solemnly, and then said: "General, I have been helpless since I was young. Now that I have fallen out with Xunxianlou, I am really homeless and have nowhere to go. From now on, I will really follow you."

"whatever."

Chen Sanshi probably understood.

He couldn't say much, and the other party took the initiative voluntarily.

Furthermore……

After returning from the ends of the earth, in a sense, this woman is indeed one of the most trustworthy ones.

"You guys go out first."

Chen Sanshi sent them away, then swallowed the meridian-nourishing pill in one gulp and began to make the final breakthrough.

When the pill enters the stomach, spiritual energy flows, nourishing the body and strengthening the meridians.

He waved the Liquan Spear in his hand, first a layer of protective aura like a dragon and a tiger crouching came out, then bursts of spear energy came out, and the air within a radius of several feet was distorted.

Transforming into a shape is the mysterious image!
The realm of Xuanxiang is fully achieved.

It is to condense and materialize the "intention" of one's own practice method through the Gangqi, which can be regarded as an enhanced version of the external release of the Gangqi, but it contains the amplification brought by the "intention", which is incomparable with ordinary Gangqi.

and.

Only after achieving the ultimate in Xuan Xiang realm can one refine the Gang Qi to the extreme, laying a solid foundation for the next step of breaking through to become a Martial Saint and transforming Gang Qi into True Qi.

Thunder-like sounds continued to be heard in the courtyard.

As I get more involved.

The spear in Chen Sanshi's hand was like a green dragon dancing wildly, and he grabbed the green dragon's tail and made it his own. The internal energy around him condensed into the shape of a green dragon.

Green dragon shape!
Followed by.

It’s the shape of a white tiger!

Basalt shape!
And the final Suzaku form!
Four forms of qi can be changed at will, move as you wish, and take shape according to the gun!

The Xuanxiang realm is complete!
[Kung Fu: Dragon Spear of the Nation. Mysterious Image (Great Mastery)]

【Progress: 0】

[Effect: ..., Four Symbols Heavenly Gang]

[Four Symbols Heavenly Gang: Shocking the Universal World, Embracing Everything]

simply speaking.

It is with the blessing of the Four Symbols that Chen Sanshi's spear skills now possess almost all the strengths of ordinary Xuanxiang realm warriors. He can be called the king of all things, and no one in the same realm can defeat him.

One step further.

He is the Martial Saint of the World!

Before the fifty-seventh year of the Longqing reign.

There are so many martial saints in the world that they can be counted on one hand.

later.

In the far north.

I don’t know what treasures the imperial court obtained that caused the number of Martial Saints to increase explosively. And according to what Fourth Senior Brother said, the things have not been used up yet and the imperial court still has some.

But no matter what.

After breaking through to the Martial Saint level.

Even in this mortal world, if one stands at the highest level, he can completely guard a region. As long as he does not take the initiative to be a dog for others, it is difficult for him to look at other people's faces. Even in the world of immortal cultivation, a Martial Saint is equivalent to the middle stage of Qi Refining, and above a Martial Saint, one can reach the late stage or even perfection.

And the Martial Saint.

It is only the peak of the first realm of martial arts, and is not yet the true second realm.

From this we can see that the strength of martial arts is no weaker than that of immortality.

If both are practiced simultaneously, it will be better for longevity and protection.

This is Chen Sanshi’s current plan.

The path to immortality requires cultivation.

You also need to practice martial arts.

As a Xuan Xiang warrior, after practicing two spells, he was not afraid of cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining at all. After he became a Martial Saint, he should be able to deal with cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining without any problem.

After the breakthrough, Chen Sanshi did not rest for a moment, and immediately continued to practice the skills of the Martial Saint realm.

Even him.

After reading the exercises, I also found them a bit scary.

There are thousands of types of standing exercises alone, and countless spear techniques and moves. It not only contains the strengths of all the spear techniques in the world, but also the essence of hundreds of long weapons. All of them are integrated together to become the Dragon Spear that guards the country.

What is a Martial Saint?

A saint on earth is one who has reached the pinnacle of achievement in one direction and transformed himself from a mortal. Any martial saint, if he wishes, can found a school of martial arts and pass it down for hundreds of years.

There are many kinds of standing exercises.

Chen Sanshi has a photographic memory.

Although the moves and routines are complicated.

But he had already practiced hundreds of techniques.

Just two days later.

He completely mastered the skills of the Martial Saint realm.

[Kung Fu: Dragon Spear, Martial Saint]

【Progress: 5/100】

[Effect: None]

Next step.

It seems like just crossing a threshold.

But it is precisely this threshold that has blocked countless martial arts geniuses in the mortal world.

Take Chen Sanshi’s senior brothers and sisters for example, some of them have the bodies of martial saints, but they have been stuck in the Xuanxiang realm for many years, struggling to break through. This shows how difficult it is.

He won't get stuck, but it will take time.

It would be best if he could refine the Zhenwu Pill, which would greatly shorten the process, but he didn't have time right now. It would take at least several days to refine the pill. Tomorrow morning he would go to the military camp to inspect the troops, and then go north through the Great Wall to Tiger Hill to test the enemy's situation.

If nothing unexpected happens, war will follow.

A battle of this scale would probably take a year or so.

Fortunately, we now have storage bags, and the alchemy furnace and materials can be carried with us, so we can use the time between battles to make alchemy.

"Before leaving, we have to go to the Governor's Mansion."

Chen Sanshi looked at the time and it was almost midnight.

He took out two spiritual herbs from his storage bag, mixed them with some precious medicines, made a simple body ointment, and then went straight to the Inspector General's Mansion.

"Come to see the lady?"

The housekeeper refused outright: "According to the rules, after the marriage is decided, you and the young lady cannot meet again before the wedding. Go back quickly."

"It's okay, just say a few words and leave."

Chen Sanshi flashed around the housekeeper, entered the mansion, and disappeared.

"Hey! You kid!"

The butler was also a mysterious figure. He wanted to stop him, but found that he couldn't catch up with him: "This kid has made another breakthrough?!"

……

"Da da!"

I groped my way to the outside of my senior sister’s room.

Chen Sanshi knocked on the window gently.

"Who?!"

Sun Li's cold voice sounded.

Chen Sanshi pressed against the window: "I am your junior brother."

"Junior brother?"

Sun Li's voice came from the room: "What are you doing here at this time?"

"It's okay."

Chen Sanshi said softly, "I know the rules. I won't look at you. We're going to fight tomorrow. I'm here to give you something. Hurry up and open the window."

After a few breaths.

The window was opened a crack.

“Just pour it into the water when you bathe.”

Chen Sanshi put the porcelain vase on the windowsill and turned to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute."

Under the moonlight, a soft hand reached out, holding the amulet: "Here, for you."

"Another amulet?"

"What do you mean?"

"I want to see if my work has improved."

Chen Sanshi grasped his senior sister's slender hand and observed the amulet in her palm.

"Hey, you?"

Sun Li froze slightly, but did not struggle to break free.

Chen Sanshi didn't expect that a woman who practiced martial arts had such delicate hands. It seemed that she used a lot of precious medicine to maintain her hands on a daily basis.

silence.

Neither of them spoke.

I stayed like this for about a cup of tea.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Suddenly, a cough was heard in the courtyard in the distance.

"Senior Sister, I'm leaving first!"

Chen Sanshi quickly let go, put away the amulet, turned around and ran away.

……

Fallen leaf courtyard.

bedroom.

Sun Xiangzong slammed his hand on the table in anger: "You bastard, you let him take all the advantage!"

"Haha, you are young and promising. My niece is not wronged."

Cao Kai spoke quietly.

"Go ahead."

Sun Xiangzong glanced at him and said indifferently, "What are you doing here again?"

"After returning from the ends of the earth, I saw that you were seriously injured, so I made a special trip to get you some elixir."

As Emperor Longqing spoke, he waved his sleeves, and many bottles and jars appeared on the table.

"Cao Kai, ah Cao Kai."

Sun Xiangzong sneered, “Have you been sitting on the throne for too long that you have to pretend no matter where you go or what you do?

“Stop pretending to be sympathetic here. Whether you went to the ends of the earth to look for me or found these healing pills, it was simply because you were afraid that after I died, no one would take care of the affairs in the Luotian Mountains.

"Cao Kai, you are so smart!
“You are so smart that even I am afraid of you from the bottom of my heart!

“Two years ago.

"After the Yunzhou Ten Days incident.

“I’ve thought about this before.

"You are cooperating with the Wushen Cult and the barbarians. Aren't you worried that they will turn against you and your Cao family's kingdom after they become stronger?
“Then suddenly.

“I understand, old man.

“Don’t worry!
"because……"

Speaking of it.

Sun Xiangzong stopped and said: "Because of Liangzhou, and this old man who is about to die!" You know no matter what happens.

“In the end, I and hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou soldiers will clean up your mess!
"Haha~
“Make the best use of people and things.

"Cao Kai, you are truly a qualified emperor.

"In your eyes, everyone is a pawn."

"..."

Emperor Longqing's face darkened.

He slowly said, "I, after all, treat you as a brother..."

"brother?"

Sun Xiangzong said disdainfully: "Do you think I don't know how my fourth brother died? You sent him to escort the prince back to the capital, but the two of them died inexplicably.

"It's you!
"Order Wang Yonggui to tell Fourth Brother to kill the Crown Prince!
"Then, in order to clear your suspicion, you forced my fourth brother to commit suicide!

“Brothers are nothing in my eyes!
“You come to my house today.

“On the surface, I care.

"You just want to remind me that I have to use the last bit of my life to help you deal with the things in Luotian Mountain Range. Otherwise, my Sun family will be exterminated. Am I right?!"

Cao Kai was silent.

After a long time, his eyes became majestic and cold, and the power of an emperor emanated from him: "Sun Xiangzong, this is your responsibility as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Liang Commander's Office, and it is also what you should do as a subject."

"You don't need to tell me. I will handle the matter properly for the people of Liangzhou."

Sun Xiangzong said coldly: "Tomorrow morning, you will go into the mountains with me. There are still some strange things that have not been figured out. You should also contribute."

"Of course I will go."

Emperor Longqing agreed.

Sun Xiangzong was too lazy to stay in the same room with him, so he put his hands behind his back and pushed the door open, "Sometimes I wonder if there are ghosts hiding on that dragon throne, and anyone who sits on it will have their body taken over and become someone no one can recognize.

“There’s no need to pretend to be a brother to me anymore.

"My brother Cao Kai died a long time ago."

……

Mao Shi.

Chen Sanshi came to the master bedroom and took out the white robe that Lan Jie'er had prepared for him in advance. After getting dressed, he stuffed the amulet into his arms. Then he put on the bow and arrow, picked up the spear, and put the Zhenyue sword on his waist. Finally, he checked the black beads in the storage bag again.

After this period of accumulation.

The white mysterious energy in the black bead had automatically recovered to the level of Hulao Pass a long time ago, and was even stronger. Taking it out to form the Heavenly Soldiers Formation at the critical moment would be a great help.

Before he comes back.

The fourth senior brother tacitly helped to practice various formations in advance.

Chen Sanshi has been practicing a lot recently and can use it at any time.

There is still some fresh energy left by Mr. Mei inside, but it is still in an unactivatable state and I still don’t know how to use it for the time being.

"I'm leaving!"

In front of the Governor's Mansion.

Chen Sanshi lifted his daughter off the horse's back, patted her head gently, and rode away.

Arrived at the military camp.

All the soldiers of Hongze Camp had already been on standby at the training ground.

After the roll call.

Chen Sanshi began to select men: "Chu Shixiong, Xia Cong, Meng Dingxin, the three of you select 800 light cavalry. After dark today, follow me into Mobei at night and head to Tiger Hill to test the enemy's strength!"

"As ordered!"

That night.

Eight hundred Hongze light cavalry were ready at the exit of the Great Wall.

The Sixth Prince Cao Huan, the Military Supervisor Eunuch Hou, the General Lu Ji and the Fourth Senior Brother Fang Qingyun came in person to see him off.

"General Chen!"

Cao Huan repeatedly instructed: "The main purpose of leaving the city this time is to find out the truth and find out the deployment of troops outside so that we can arrange the next strategy. Remember, the main purpose is exploration. Don't fight if you encounter any situation. You are one of the most powerful generals in my Dasheng Dynasty. If something unexpected happens, it will be a great loss for the Northern Liang Army.

"This Saker Falcon was trained not long ago. From now on, it belongs to General Chen."

As he spoke, he stretched out his arm and handed over a newly grown Saker Falcon.

This Saker Falcon has beautiful mountain-green feathers all over its body, and its eagle eyes are a deep blue, even beautiful.

Chen Sanshi finally had his own "communication equipment" and no longer needed to borrow from others.

He cut his finger with the tip of the gun.

The Saker Falcon immediately opened its mouth and drank the dripping blood.

This is the blood confession.

The training is completed before adulthood.

After reaching adulthood, the Saker Falcon will acknowledge its master by dripping blood.

If its master dies, it will quickly bring the news and intelligence to another general nearby. After completing its final mission, it will starve to death.

"I'll call you Bluebird from now on."

Chen Sanshi came up with a name casually.

The Saker Falcon tilted its head and looked at him, as if it wanted to carefully remember this face and the smell of its master, and then flapped its wings to indicate that it had recognized its master.

"set off!"

"drive!"

"..."

Eight hundred light cavalrymen left the city gate one after another under the cover of night, and then disappeared into the endless grassland and desert.

Exploration for several days.

They probably figured out the deployment of the troops.

The war started on all fronts.

But it doesn't just refer to Liangzhou.

Instead, the three northwestern states, plus the remaining two northern states, a total of five states, jointly declared war, including Yunzhou.

The fourteenth battalion of troops will make corresponding arrangements based on the enemy's troop deployment.

therefore.

Not only did Chen Sanshi lead his troops out to investigate the enemy situation, but several other states also did the same.

Liangzhou corresponds to the Yuwen tribe. The total number of troops deployed on the periphery is about 40,000, which is not a large number. They are still setting up camp and show no signs of rushing to attack.

"So steady and calm, not in a hurry?"

Behind a hill.

Chen Sanshi sat on the ground with a map spread out in front of him.

After observation, they found that the number of barbarian troops outside Liangzhou was not large.

You must know that in the conflict between Dasheng and the barbarians of the desert, due to the geographical location and other factors, the main battlefield has always been Liangzhou City, and the other states are more auxiliary.

There are now five battalions of soldiers in Liangzhou City, plus the garrison troops, totaling more than 100,000. Among them are the Martial Saint Lu Ji, Pei Tiannan who was safe and sound during the last Prince Rebellion, and the old master himself.

The master is old and won’t live long.

But not dead yet!

Just look at the situation at the ends of the earth.

Chen Sanshi firmly believes it.

As long as the old man does not close his eyes for a moment, no mortal can hurt him.

and so……

Luotian Mountains!

Chen Sanshi suddenly realized.

The reason why Master did not command the battle on the front line was probably because he wanted to stay in the rear and solve the problem in Luotian Mountains.

But anyway...

There were only 40,000 barbarian troops outside Liangzhou City, which was really too few.

And according to their observations, the barbarians outside the city gave people a feeling of being well-organized and sure of victory, as if they were not here to fight, but to pick fruits.

Just 40,000 people, why?
of course.

It is also possible that the barbarians simply set up camp in advance and waited for the army to arrive.

To know the specific situation, we need to look at the overall situation.

"According to the date, after the intelligence from the other four states is gathered, it should be delivered soon."

Thinking like this.

Chen Sanshi ordered his subordinates to wait here.

"Snowing."

Several men discussed quietly.

It is now mid-October.

Snow is not uncommon for Beiliang.

But this snow seems a little heavy.

Along with the biting cold wind, the sky was covered with thick dark clouds. Heavy snow fell slowly from the sky and landed on the soldiers' armor without melting for a long time. Everyone soon turned into snowmen. Fortunately, they were all martial artists and were selected as elites, so they could withstand the cold.

"Why does it feel like the coldest time of the year has arrived all of a sudden?"

"Yes."

"Besides, Liangzhou hasn't had such heavy snow in recent years, right?"

"..."

Chen Sanshi stretched out his palm and caught a snowflake, which gradually melted into snow water after a while.

This snow...

Not right.

He subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the direction of the Luotian Mountains.

Just at this time.

Bluebird returns with information.

Chen Sanshi withdrew his thoughts and realized that it would be better to focus on the matter at hand.

The intelligence shows the deployment of barbarian troops in other areas.

After he finished reading it, he passed it to Chu Shixiong and others.

"how come?!"

Chu Shixiong's body trembled: "The barbarians deployed 150,000 troops in Youzhou, concentrated most of the martial saints' strength, and started attacking the city ten days ago?!"

Vast territory.

Information delays are common.

"impossible."

Xia Cong said in disbelief: "They don't attack Liangzhou, but go to attack Youzhou?! Isn't this courting death?"

"correct."

Meng Dingxin said incomprehensibly: "There are still more than 100,000 soldiers in Liangzhou City behind us. If we can transfer troops there within a month, wouldn't it be a situation where we can attack the enemy from both sides and annihilate them completely?!"

"No, it's definitely not that simple."

Xiao Zheng then said: "The barbarians are not fools, they must have a purpose for doing this!"

"grown ups!"

"What do you think the barbarian wants to do?"

finally.

Everyone's eyes were on the commander of Hongze Camp.

Chen Sanshi didn't rush to speak, staring at the map with deep eyes.

Youzhou!

If he remembered correctly.

Youzhou currently has two battalions of troops, and Xu Wencai is guarding there. Even if the troops are insufficient, there will be no problem in the short term. Once the reinforcements arrive, the barbarians will be finished.

If you really do this.

The barbarians are too stupid.

The situation became increasingly weird.

Similar situation.

It has happened before.

Ten days in Yunzhou!

At first.

The barbarians did not attack Liangzhou or Youzhou, but instead attacked the most useless Yunzhou. The results revealed later proved that their purpose was not land at all, but to slaughter the people for blood sacrifice.

now.

They didn't attack Liangzhou but Youzhou instead, and they launched a fierce attack with more than 100,000 troops at the beginning. Did they want to make a blood sacrifice in Youzhou?
Unlikely.

Even the old emperor did not have the courage to cooperate with the barbarians to conduct another blood sacrifice in such a short time. Perhaps in his eyes, the people were nothing more than cattle and sheep for sacrifice.

But cattle and sheep are also silver.

Yunzhou has not recovered yet, and it is said that more than 40% of the land is still barren. If Youzhou strikes again, the northern border will be really finished except for Liangzhou.

Not to mention, there is the experience from last time.

The master will never be deceived again.

Therefore, this situation can be ruled out.

So……

What do the barbarians want to do by rushing into Youzhou in such a hurry?
Aren't you really afraid that more than 100,000 soldiers from Liangzhou will come out in full force, cutting off their retreat and completely annihilating their entire army?
Luotian Mountains!

It is clearly drawn on the map.

Youzhou is also adjacent to the Luotian Mountains.

To be precise, it is the Luotian Mountains that divide Youzhou and Liangzhou in the middle.

The barbarians and the Wushen Cult are indeed relying on the mountains deep in the mountains to plan their overall situation!

even.

Even the master is not completely clear!

"go!"

Chen Sanshi ordered: "Go to Huqiu Mountain and complete our mission first, and then go back to discuss the follow-up enemy situation."

Their mission was to find out the barbarian's military strength in Liang Province, and they could not give up halfway just because of something happening in You Province.

……

Tiger Hill.

The barbarian Yuwen tribe’s military camp.

The Chinese military tent.

"General Tengger, come on, come on, cheers!"

Prime Minister Yuwen Chengzhao raised his wine glass and drank with his two generals: "It won't be long before Liangzhou will be wiped out, and then my people will move into the Central Plains!"

He was both the prime minister and a member of the royal family, and was a powerful figure in the Yuwen tribe.

"Hahahaha!"

General Tengger finished the liquor and said, "The Sheng people will never guess that we have set up such a long battle line outside Liangzhou City just to confuse them. Our target is Youzhou. We only need to hold on in Youzhou for a few months. After the ancestral veins are revived, the blood sacrifice formation will be formed, and the millions of Sheng people in Liangzhou will become our nourishment!"

"Sun Xiangzong, Lu Ji, and Chen Sanshi who fights in a white robe, even if they have great abilities, they can't use them. No, they probably won't even know how they died!"

Dariyachi laughed out loud as he spoke.

"Not bad! But you still have to be careful."

Yuwen Chengzhao stroked his braided beard and said, "I heard that a small group of cavalry has been roaming around our area recently. The leader might be an important figure. Don't let this happen to you."

"Just a few hundred people!"

Tengger put down his wine bowl heavily and said gloomily: "Flying around like flies, I have long wanted to crush them to death!"

……

Outside the military camp.

"Bah-"

After questioning, Chu Shixiong killed the captured barbarian soldier with a single knife.

"General!"

"Ask clearly."

"There are about 20,000 soldiers and horses here at Tiger Hill, all of them are elite."

"The person in charge is Yuwen Chengzhao, the prime minister of the Yuwen tribe. Together with his two deputy generals, there are a total of three people who have reached the Great Perfection of the Mysterious Elephant Realm."

"Don't mess with me."

"..."

After listening to his subordinates' report, Chen Sanshi confirmed: "You said that Tiger Hill has 20,000 soldiers and three Xuan Xiang Great Perfection?"

"That's right. There are three Xuan Xiang Perfection warriors. Their fighting power is indeed very strong. If we take into account the two nearby garrisons, their military strength can reach about 30,000."

Chu Shixiong nodded heavily and said solemnly: "Now that we have found out clearly, let's go back quickly. Several of their patrols have been captured. They will soon notice something unusual. If we are surrounded by their heavy cavalry, it will be troublesome."

While talking.

There were already lights on in the distance, and it was obvious that the situation had been discovered.

The brothers were all ready, waiting for the commander's order to leave.

however……

However, they saw their master climb onto his horse, murderous intent emanating from him, staring at the commander of the central army in front of him, and his voice was like a war drum:

“Without a Martial Saint, how dare 20,000 people set up camp in front of me?!

"Eight hundred light cavalry, listen to my orders!
"Follow me and charge straight into the center of the barbarian army, kill the main general, and capture Yuwen Chengzhao alive!"

"what?!"

Chu Shixiong was startled: "Sir, there are 20,000 of them."

"I can take the enemy's head in the midst of thousands of troops!"

Chen Sanshi slowly raised his spear: "Just charge and kill. Also write a letter to Blue Bird, ordering the entire Hongze Camp inside the Great Wall to attack and rush over to take over the Tiger Hill garrison before dawn!"

It is not clear what the barbarians' intentions are at this time.

But he was sure of one thing.

We can't just sit there and wait for death in the city.

Take over Huqiu Mountain first. Even if we go to Youzhou for support later, we can ensure that Liangzhou is free from harassment!

Chen Sanshi has been watching Tiger Hill for nearly two months.

He had thought that with a person of the status of a prime minister, there would at least be a martial saint in charge, but it turned out that there was no such person.

The three people have reached the great perfection of Xuanxiang realm.

It sounds scary enough.

But Chen Sanshi...

He is no longer the General Tongmai who had to hide here and there and rack his brains to find the enemy's weaknesses during a battle.

Under the Martial Saint.

No one can stop him now!
As long as we can't trap him, no matter how many troops we have, it will be useless!
Exhausted?

He had just taken a Bigu Pill, how could he be exhausted? !

"drive!"

Before his soldiers could react, the man in white robe and white horse had already disappeared into the darkness filled with snowflakes and headed straight towards the bright fire.

There.

It’s the main tent in the enemy camp!
"grown ups!"

Chu Shixiong was dumbfounded.

Twenty thousand people!
Wouldn't it be a death sentence if I rushed in? !
Even if one has achieved great success in Xuan Xiang, he will be exhausted after killing more than a thousand people. If the opponent has generals of the same level, he can only kill a few hundred people at most!

Not to mention, the other side has three people who have reached the great perfection of the Xuanxiang realm!

Add another twenty thousand people!

Even if all eight hundred people went in, it would still not be enough to fill the gaps in their teeth!

Before coming to Liangzhou.

Chu Shixiong imagined that the Earl of Wuyi was more of a wise general, but he never expected that he had such a brave side. No, this was not just bravery, this was simply the behavior of a reckless man!
Even an ordinary Martial Saint wouldn't dare to charge in like this when there are three Mysterious Elephants on the ground!

"General, follow me!"

"well said!"

"The general said they are shit! Even if they have 100,000 people, they are still shit!"

"kill!"

Although I can't understand it.

But Xia Cong and others had never guessed the general's mind.

All they know is to obey orders.

There will be victory!

This is the effect of fame!

Unmatched morale!
Even though there were only 800 of them, they formed their battle formation with the belief that they would win, and charged straight towards the enemy camp with overwhelming murderous intent and the sound of thundering horse hooves.

Eight hundred light cavalry attacked the enemy camp in heavy snow!

……

Liangshan Great Wall.

The Sixth Prince Cao Huan took charge of the situation personally, inquiring about the situation at the front in detail every day, waiting to see what the enemy situation was like outside Tiger Hill, and then responding as quickly as possible.

"Your Highness!"

"Oh no!"

"The Haidongqing brought back news!"

"General Chen..."

"He led 800 light cavalrymen to charge directly at the enemy camp, saying that he would capture Tiger Hill tonight to facilitate our army's subsequent advance and support for Youzhou."

"What did you say?!"

Cao Huan grabbed the information and felt that he had read it wrong.

There are only eight hundred of them!
"I asked him to go for reconnaissance and exploration, not to annihilate the enemy!"
