Chapter 215 Decisive Victory
"Fifty?"

Chu Shixiong couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"

"Hit wherever there are people."

Chen Sanshi ordered.

"I see."

Chu Shixiong nodded. For their Hongze Camp, nothing was impossible, just as the 800 scouts from Huqiu Mountain were able to storm the camp.

That night.

Chen Sanshi is still concentrating on his cultivation.

It was not until dawn that he led more than fifty riders, quietly left the city, and headed straight for the nearest Xiqi army camp.

……

Guandu area.

A flat river.

The enemy and our side used the hundreds of miles of "Guan Du" plain as the boundary, and each stationed in the city behind. However, there were also some vanguard troops on the plain as guards. And out of importance, Xiqi left a Martial Saint and a late-stage cultivator of the ninth level of Qi Refining in the vanguard army alone.

Jinyun, who is over ninety years old, is a casual cultivator who is carrying out the mission in Luoye Valley. There is a young man beside him.

"Master, drink tea."

The young man brought a cup of tea. The tea leaves inside seemed to be swimming like a green dragon, shining brightly. He said with a playful smile, "I got this from a bet between me and Daoist Li. Don't worry about drinking it."

His master was a tea fanatic. He left in a hurry and didn't bring any tea leaves with him. Ordinary tea was really rough.

"You kid, you are so cunning all the time, be careful or you will suffer in the future."

Jinyun said this, but he couldn't hide the relief in his eyes.

For a cultivator whose family had fallen into poverty and who had become a wandering cultivator, it was a great blessing in life for him to have a successor when he was about to die.

"Boy."

Jinyun took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and warned: "After this battle, you will get the foundation-building pill. At that time, I will pretend to fail and die after taking it. You take the foundation-building pill and escape thousands of miles away. Don't show up again, otherwise the foundation-building pill will bring you a fatal disaster."

"Master..."

The young man couldn't bear it: "Otherwise, you old man should eat the foundation-building pill. I'm still young and I can find a way to get the foundation-building pill myself in the future."

"I'm ninety-eight. On paper, a Qi-refining cultivator has a lifespan of one hundred and twenty, but in fact, if you don't build your foundation before the age of sixty, your Qi, blood, and meridians will deteriorate, and your hope will be slimmer as time goes by. Even if I take the foundation-building pill, I only have a one percent chance of building my foundation at most. It's better not to waste it."

Jinyun shook his head and said earnestly: "You know, if it weren't for the ancestral veins of Dongsheng Shenzhou appearing in the world, it would be extremely difficult for casual cultivators like me to obtain the foundation-building pill. You must seize the opportunity and stop talking nonsense."

"Master, I understand..."

The boy's eyes were a little red.

He was originally an ordinary person, but he met his master by chance and was able to embark on the path to immortality.

While cultivators of the same realm were still fighting for a few pills, his master had already helped him plan the foundation-building pill.

The master and the disciple were talking.

There was suddenly a noisy sound outside.

"Master Jinxian!"

"Oh no!"

"There is an enemy attack!"

"..."

……

Outside the vanguard camp.

Chai Zuoyuan, the Martial Saint of Western Qi, jumped on his horse and hurried to the gate: "What's going on?!"

"General Chai, the enemy is attacking!"

"How many people?"

"Fifty, fifty people."

"Fifty people, are you sure they are not scouts?"

"General Chai, they are rushing towards the camp!"

"what?!"

Before Chai Zuoyuan could make arrangements, he saw more than a mile away, with dust all over the sky stirred up by the trampling of horses' hooves. Leading the way was a rider, wearing a white robe fluttering in the strong wind, holding a large black bow in his hand.

Chen Sanshi!
"Om-"

The fifty people were still six or seven hundred steps away from them, but an arrow had already been shot out, far exceeding the range of an ordinary bow and arrow.

Chai Zuoyuan had heard of this man's archery skills a long time ago, so he didn't have the courage to take the challenge. While the distance was still far, he simply abandoned his horse, and burst into his martial arts to the extreme. He turned into a shadow and ran more than a hundred steps to the left in an instant before he breathed a sigh of relief.

however……

When he stopped, he felt that the "murderous intent" had been following him and had never disappeared.

Looking back.

I saw the arrow just twenty steps away, carrying with it a rolling black evil. With its wings spread out under the surging true energy, it came towards me like a black phoenix.

There's no way to hide?!

Chai Zuoyuan was horrified. He drew the sword from his waist and tried to block the attack.

"boom!"

The soldiers nearby only heard a loud noise like thunder.

The next thing they saw was their general lying on the ground, bleeding from all his seven orifices, and dying. His face turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye due to the erosion of the evil spirit and snake venom, and he died soon after.

"kill--"

at the same time.

Fifty cavalrymen led by Chen Sanshi rushed into the camp and began to charge and kill indiscriminately.

The vanguard camp fell into chaos.

【Unparalleled】!
After Chen Sanshi shot and killed hundreds of people in a row, the weapon in his hand changed from a black snake bow to a dragon gall silver spear. In the battle of blood and flesh, his fighting spirit accumulated layer by layer.

The vanguard camp also has about 10,000 people.

After killing about seven or eight hundred enemy soldiers, Chu Shixiong and others began to set fires everywhere, and the front half of the vanguard camp was engulfed in flames.

at the same time.

A cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage came flying on a crane, holding a whisk in his hand. High in the sky, he looked exactly like the legendary immortal.

"Chen Sanshi?!"

Jin Yun naturally recognized the man in white robes. He stroked his beard with one hand and said coldly, "You dare to come to me without a cultivator by your side. Well, well, I'll kill you and everything will be over."

The words have not yet fallen.

He had already formed seals with his hands, and the white crane under his feet made a cry, opened its long beak to absorb waves of magic power, and then actually transformed the magic power into golden sword energy and spewed it out.

Chen Sanshi did not dodge or evade. The silver dragon swam around his body, biting all the sword energy into pieces, and then rushed into the sky with a roar, and the cold light was directly facing the monk's face.

Jinyun snorted coldly, and the whisk in his hand suddenly expanded, falling down like a pillar of heaven, and collided with the silver dragon that soared into the sky, falling into a stalemate.
When magic power and true energy collided, the aftermath spread out visibly, as if space was distorted.

Jin Yun's old hands maintained the seal, continuously adding mana to the magic weapon, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on his face: "A transcendent warrior can actually compete with this old man?!"

"Transcendence?" Chen Sanshi said in a loud voice, "Take another look at what realm I am in."

"boom--"

See!

As the power of the white robe surged, a raging flame suddenly burned on his spear, and a red flame rose up at some point.

The moment Jinyun's whisk came into contact with the flames, it began to burn unstoppably. The magic weapon was originally a wood-attributed magic weapon, and was perfectly restrained by the flames. It was burned to ashes after just two breaths. Seeing the flames engulfing his arm, he had to throw it away quickly.

He looked at the white robe wrapped in flames in front of him again, his pupils trembling: "You, you have reached true power?!"

As a Dharma practitioner.

Jinyun didn't know much about martial arts. He only knew that after reaching the true power realm, ordinary warriors could use the power of the five elements through breathing techniques. The man in white robe in front of him was clearly a true power warrior.

There is also a chance that it is some kind of fire spell.

But before this, I had never heard that the man in white robe was a practitioner of Dharma.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Jinyun had no time to use the detection technique to check. After his life magic weapon was burned, he vomited blood on the spot and was about to escape on his crane.

The opposing army's food and supplies will soon be cut off, and it will completely collapse soon. By then, we will be able to firmly occupy the ancestral vein of Mangshan, complete the bounty mission, and obtain the foundation-building resources. How can we die here at this time?

Just now.

After a blow.

Jinyun's natal magic weapon was damaged.

But Chen Sanshi also fell back to the ground from mid-air.

Warriors can't fly!
This is their huge flaw.

The white crane cried and flapped its wings, flying towards the west at an extremely fast speed. If it could hold on for a moment longer, it would be able to meet other fellow Taoists who came to support it.

on the ground.

The man in white robes rode on white horses and chased after him relentlessly.

But after all, they are in heaven and on earth.

Until the inspiration flows.

The neighing of the white horse sounded like the roar of a dragon.

Then, like a white horse passing by in the blink of an eye, it soared into the sky and actually leaped to a height of a hundred feet. Chen Sanshi used the white horse's force to leap into the air for the second time, rising more than a hundred feet. With the help of the surging true qi, his spear flew across the sky and he finally caught up with the white crane. The four true qi flashed by one after another and finally merged into one, turning into a mighty dragon.

"Rumble--"

The defensive spell that the old cultivator Jinyun had temporarily cast shattered into pieces like glass in an instant, and a bloody hole burst open in his chest. The white crane under him was strangled by the true energy and its wings became as stiff as wood. It fell straight to the ground together with its master, leaving only a few feathers floating slowly in the air.

dead!
Chen Sanshi also began to fall, and in the process landed back on the horse's back, landing steadily with a loud bang.

Seven of the eight divine caves in the upper part have been opened, and his strength has long been approaching the realm of true power. With the help of the strange fire and [Unparalleled], killing a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining is naturally no longer as troublesome as before.

"Master!"

The young man looked at the old man's body, his eyes instantly filled with bloodshot. However, before he could make the next move, the arrow pierced through him and nailed him to the ground.

Chen Sanshi walked forward and searched out a storage bag from Jinyun's body.

"kill--"

In chaos.

Chu Shixiong and others were on the rise to kill.

"withdraw!"

Chen Sanshi looked at the figure approaching towards this side in the western sky and gave orders.

"Retreat? Okay."

After a brief hesitation, Chu Shixiong immediately did as he was told.

Only four out of more than fifty riders died in the battle, and the rest all escaped safely.

……

Xiqi.

The Chinese military tent.

"Immortal Master!"

"Oh no!"

"..."

Zhong Wuxin rushed into the big tent: "Two hours ago, Chen Sanshi led a group of people to the vanguard camp and killed the vanguard general and the old immortal master."

"Random cultivator Jinyun."

Han Xiang raised his eyes and asked, "He was in the late stage of Qi Refining, how could he be killed in such a short time?"

When facing the wasteland.

Relying on his Transcendent Realm, Chen Sanshi killed tens of thousands of people. Not only did he not become exhausted, but he became more and more courageous as the battle went on. In the end, he even killed Sikong Chen, who was in the late stage of Qi Refining. He was truly a monstrous being.

But that also takes time.

At that time, Sikong Chen also suppressed the white robe for a long time.

That's why Han Xiang arranged Jinyun in the vanguard army. If Chen Sanshi really dared to come, he only needed to be delayed first, and then other cultivators would rush over to surround and kill him.

But was it so easy to kill this time?
Could it be...

"The general doesn't know either."

Zhong Wuxin said, "I just heard that during the fight, Immortal Master Jinyun mentioned some realm of true strength. When Chen Sanshi attacked, he was surrounded by flames. Maybe... he was above the legendary Martial Saint?"

Above the Martial Saint!

The realm of true power!

"So fast……"

Han Xiang, who had been calm and composed until now, became noticeably more serious after hearing this.

When he killed Sikong Chen that day, he guessed that the man in white was most likely in the process of awakening the God of Vision, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. It was totally against common sense.

But this Chen Sanshi has never been reasonable...

"This person has actually achieved a breakthrough in true strength?"

Zhu Gui, who was at the Qi Refining Perfection stage, said, "This person was able to kill someone at the Qi Refining late stage even when he was at the Transformation Perfection stage. Now that he has entered the True Strength stage, I'm afraid that if they fight, it will be very difficult."

"It doesn't matter."

The fear in Han Xiang's eyes gradually dissipated. He looked at the chessboard and said, "It is not a one-man job to capture a city. After the army collapses, even if he is the only one alive, he will be powerless to turn the tide. We can then take our time to figure it out."

"It's only the last few days."

Zhong Wuxin said, "And I heard that two days ago he publicly burned the secret letters between the Du Biao Army and us and did not pursue the matter. Later he opened the warehouse to distribute food and let his soldiers eat every day. He used this method to forcibly stabilize the morale of the army. The more he did this, the more it showed that they were at the end of their strength. Today's attack on the vanguard camp should be just because he was anxious to quickly test our flaws."

"Don't be careless."

Han Xiang held the chess piece in his hand and said quietly, "Dispatch troops to Wucheng secretly, and also transfer the martial artist at the True Strength Realm, just in case."

……

a few days later.

Chen Sanshi, who practiced day and night, put down his spear.

On average, he could open up a Jingshen in one to two months each time, and the last Jingshen was no exception. This speed, even in the world of immortal cultivation, was considered the most extraordinary genius.

But it’s still not enough…

Time is not on their side.

As soon as I returned to the barracks.

Tong Xiaochu came to report: "Sir, in two days at most, the food and grass will be exhausted. The good news is that Liao Fang will be here soon. Before Master Wang Jun left, he said that he would be here tonight at the latest."

"This bastard."

Teng Le cursed beside him: "The agreed date is postponed again and again, it's just putting on airs!"

At last.

Two days!

……

Beijing.

Longevity Palace.

Behind the curtain.

Emperor Longqing's long and deep voice sounded: "Has Guandu not been won yet?"

"Replying to your Majesty."

Yan Liang sighed and said, "We have tried our best to supply food and grass, but we have not seen any results. I am afraid that the food and grass will run out in the next two days."

"Alas!"

Emperor Longqing sighed, "Pity the 150,000 loyal souls of our Great Sheng Dynasty. After the war, Chen Sanshi will be named Duke of Zhao, and his son will inherit the title. If his body can be found, he will be buried with the ceremony of a king."

"Old minister, I will tell the Ministry of Rites to prepare."

Yan Liang said respectfully: "Your Majesty, don't be too sad. Everything you have done now is just enduring humiliation. When Your Majesty makes further progress in the immortal path, our Great Sheng Dynasty will no longer have to look at the faces of the Li family, the Shengyun Sect, and the Luoye Valley."

……

Zhongjue Hall.

King Cao Huan of Jin and many officials stayed here, and the atmosphere was dead silent.

"The troops of the Prince of Zhennan are still unable to recapture the three prefectures."

Tian Guang, the Minister of Finance, said dejectedly, "According to the time calculation, the front's food and grass will run out in two days. In two days, 150,000 troops will be burned to ashes! How much silver will be lost!"

Yin Mingchun, the Minister of Personnel, also sighed: "After this battle, our Great Sheng Dynasty will lose one-fifth of its territory, and it will be difficult to restore the vitality of the western border within 20 years."

"Han Xiang, the Military Genius! Han Xiang!"

Everyone gnashed their teeth.

Who could have imagined that this time even the man in white robe would suffer a crushing defeat.

"Master Yan!"

The Minister of War Ming Qingfeng suddenly spoke up: "You, have you written to the generals of the three prefectures? Many of those people are disciples of your Yan family!"

Yan Maoxing was stunned for a moment, and then said confidently: "Of course I wrote a letter! But what's the use?! This time it's not just a battle between two armies, but there are immortals involved. The immortals gave them elixirs, what can I do? Ming Qingfeng, don't mention the word "disciple"!"

"That's enough! When the court is in danger, you still have the mood to attack each other?!"

Jin Wang Cao Huan was furious: "Rather than spending this much time thinking about how to minimize the losses after the defeat of the Du Biao Army!"

"Your Highness, don't worry."

Ming Qingfeng said, "With the Central Plains army and the Prince of Zhennan here, they will never be able to enter the Central Plains from Jiazhou. They will be stopped in the Tianzong Mountains! The court will gather its strength and may have a chance to counterattack in the future."

After he finished speaking, he began to plan the next deployment with the officials from the Ministry of War.

"Sixth brother, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

Cao Zhi came over.

"Is there anything you can't talk about here?"

Jin Wang Cao Huan hesitated for a moment, but finally led him to the back of the palace: "Twelfth brother, do you have something urgent to say?"

"Brother Six."

Cao Zhi asked solemnly: "Don't you think this incident is very strange?"

"eccentric?"

Cao Huan listened to the faint quarrel in the hall after he left: "Twelfth brother, could it be that you also suspect that it was Lord Yan? How, how is this possible?"

"What's impossible?"

Cao Zhi took out a secret letter from his bosom: "This is the clue that my Jinyiwei found. Before the three prefectures rebelled, the children of Du Xiaochen of Wujun Prefecture all disappeared. However, they were not sent to Xiqi, but secretly sent to the capital. Now they are imprisoned in an inconspicuous house outside the capital."

"what?"

Cao Huan looked at the handwriting and said angrily: "If this is true, the father and son of the Yan family should be cut into pieces and their entire clan should be exterminated! But, but why? The father and son of the Yan family are in high positions. Even when I, the regent, handle government affairs, I have to consult his opinions and only execute them after the cabinet agrees. What else is he not satisfied with? Why would he commit treason?"

"Sixth Brother! Are you really confused or just pretending to be confused?!"

Cao Zhi said in a deep voice: "Do you really think that the Yan family father and son are so brave as to do such a thing?"

"you……"

Cao Huan looked directly into the eyes of the King of Yan, as if he saw the answer in them. He staggered and almost collapsed to the ground. He said in disbelief: "Twelfth brother! Although we have a good relationship, there are some things that cannot be said carelessly!"

"Sixth brother, don't you understand yet?!"

Cao Zhi said: "Why did the former crown prince fight to the death in Ziwei Mountain? Was it really just for the throne?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Cao Huan hid the letter and said, "I believe you about the father and son of the Yan family, but I absolutely cannot believe you if you say there is someone behind them."

"it is good."

Cao Zhi said: "Even so, do we still have to keep the Yan family father and son and continue to cause cholera beyond the scope?"

"Absolutely not!"

Cao Huan made up his mind and said, "Twelfth brother, you continue to collect intelligence. When there is sufficient evidence, I will naturally use all my strength to bring down the Yan family father and son!
"It's a pity...

"The 150,000 soldiers of my Great Sheng Dynasty, as well as that one man in white robe, are going to die in vain in Jiazhou!"

……

Jiazhou.

Guandu.

The last day when food and fodder ran out.

"Supervisor!"

Tong Xiaochu rushed into the account in a panic: "Here he comes, Liao Fang is finally here, but he refuses to come in, and insists that you put on a black robe and go out of the city to greet him in person!
"What? Is he serious?"

Wang Zhi was furious: "Don't pay any attention to him. Now that he's here, we can't let him do anything. Just bring him in and torture him until he tells us everything."

"okay."

Chen Sanshi called him.

It’s not a big deal in itself.

He stood up, grabbed a black robe and put it on, then strode out of the tent.

……

city ​​gate.

"Time is of the essence."

Wang Jun looked at the drunken man in front of him and felt that he was as annoying as Qu Yuanxiang: "I have agreed to all your conditions, why are you still wasting time here?"

"I told you! Someone named Chen must come out to pick me up in person!"

Liao Fang was wearing a brand new white robe. He pointed at the soldiers on the city wall and said, "I want to show them who is the one wearing the white robe! If the man surnamed Chen doesn't come out, or doesn't wear the black robe, don't even think about getting the best strategy to defeat the enemy from me!"

The flying sword floating beside Wang Jun was buzzing.

Unexpectedly, Liao Fang was not afraid. He said with bloodshot eyes: "You want to scare me with a broken sword? Come on, kill me. Kill me and all 150,000 of you will die together in Guandu. Do it!" Wang Jun gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and said nothing more.

"Om-long——"

at last.

The city gate is open.

Teams of people came out first and lined up in two rows outside the city gate.

At last.

It was Chen Sanshi, the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He put on a black robe over his white robe and walked out of the city gate quickly.

See this.

Liao Fang seemed a little surprised.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

No wonder Chen Sanshi became famous in just a few years. He could even endure such humiliation. He is truly a man who can accomplish great things.

On top of the city wall.

The old brothers from Poyang who witnessed this scene started cursing on the spot.

among them.

Zhu Tong said nothing, and was about to sneak down the city wall with his war hammer.

Fortunately, Zhao Kang discovered it at the critical moment and held him down tightly: "What are you going to do?"

"What are you doing? I'm going to kill him!"

Zhu Tong burst out with strength.

Zhao Kang almost couldn't hold himself back.

In the blink of an eye, four years have passed since they left Poyang.

Four years is enough time for a person to grow and transform.

Especially starting two years ago, Chen Sanshi began to feed them Linghe ointment and various precious medicines crazily. Even the most useless ones were constantly improving.

Zhu Tong, Wang Li and others have already reached the Tongmai realm.

"Stop it!"

Zhao Kang and Feng Yong pressed his head together: "Fool, we are relying on this man to provide information now, if there is anything else, we can talk about it later!"

It took a lot of effort to finally pin him down.

Outside the city gate.

Chen Sanshi spoke first: "Mr. Liao in white has come from afar. I am busy with military duties and I am sorry that I failed to welcome you in person. Please forgive me."

"Hehe, where is it?"

Liao Fang put his hands behind his back, raised his chin and said, "How can we, the leaders of the army, care about such a trivial matter?"

"The banquet is ready."

Chen Sanshi made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Liao, please follow me to the banquet."

He personally led Liao Fang into the city and into the mansion that served as the central military tent.

The food and wine were obtained by killing the local garrison's oxen.

Liao Fang was very satisfied with this reception.

He just drank a glass of wine and didn't eat any food. He said faintly, "Brother Sanshi, it must be difficult for you to put together such a table of wine and food, right?"

"Yes."

Chen Sanshi said calmly: "There is not much food and grass left in the city."

"Not too little."

Liao Fang said confidently: "According to my calculations, the food supply should have been exhausted! At the latest, we will run out of food the day after tomorrow!"

"Brother Liao is really a master at foresight."

Chen Sanshi agreed with the other party.

"you……"

Liao Fang raised his eyebrows: "Do you have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

"Mr. Liao must have a good plan."

Chen Sanshi said: "Please let me know, Mr. Liao."

Outside.

Zhao Kang felt a little sick listening to the conversation.

The master in their family had long known that the key to the problem was to find the city where the other party stored grain, but he still had to flatter this guy.

"Haha~ It seems that even the famous Commander Chen can't see through things."

Liao Fang said proudly: "Let me tell you, not only is your Dasheng short of food, but Daqi's food and grass are also running low. We only need to burn the food and grass, and the 300,000-man army can be defeated in a snap!
"Let me ask you again, do you know in which city Han Xiang stored his food and fodder?
“Don’t know again?
"Let me tell you."

"Snapped--"

He placed his right hand heavily on the map: "Wucheng!
“Not long ago.

"Da Qi just forcibly requisitioned a batch of grain. In order to facilitate transportation and mobilization, all of it was stored in Wucheng. As long as we take down Wucheng, Han Xiang will be defeated."

"I see."

Chen Sanshi nodded.

Just as he guessed.

Wucheng is the most suitable place to store grain.

Of course, this person's confirmation is equally important.

"However, there seems to be an immortal master who is above the level of a martial saint in Wucheng, and there are more than 20,000 defenders, so the city can be considered strong."

Liao Fang took out a piece of letter paper and said: "I have written down all the combat power inside. Whether you can defeat it depends on you."

After all the information was finally confirmed, Chen Sanshi took the letter and was about to leave.

"and many more!"

Liao Fang said nervously, "Lord Chen is well-known for his benevolence and righteousness. He would not do such a thing as abandoning the donkey after it has done its work, right?"

"Don't worry. I will report it to the imperial court after the success. You are the first to make a contribution. The imperial court will not be stingy in granting you the title of Duke within five years. In short..."

Chen Sanshi paused and said, "As long as Mr. Liao does not violate military discipline, I will definitely do what I promised you."

He didn't waste any more time and left quickly.

"His ha——"

Liao Fang drank a glass of wine and said, "If this plan succeeds, I, Liao Fang, will be famous all over the world!"

……

Within the military camp.

Chen Sanshi ordered that all the food be eaten up, and also killed a batch of the last remaining cattle and sheep in the local garrison to ensure that the 150,000 soldiers were well fed and watered.

Then he began to make final arrangements.

The defense force of Wucheng is not weak. If you want to get there, you have to take a detour. It is impossible for a large army to go out together.

After careful consideration, Chen Sanshi selected his troops and generals:

"Tong Xiaochu obeys the order!

"You lead two monks and 10,000 troops to create momentum and feint to attack Lu Mansion. When Han Xiang leads his troops to attack our Gengyang Mansion base camp, we will turn around and attack from both sides."

Attracting attention is necessary.

"The last general takes command!"

“Teng Le, listen to my orders!
"You lead two monks and 20,000 troops to set up an ambush in the canyon 80 miles outside the city. Stop the enemy until the last man is dead. You can retreat when you see the city on fire!"

"I will obey your orders!"

"Wang Zhi, Chu Shixiong, Wei Xuan, Song Guizhi!"

Chen Sanshi said in a sonorous voice: "You will follow me, lead the soldiers of Hongze Camp, and select 7,000 elite soldiers from the Du Biao Army to attack Wucheng with me!"

"Yes!"

"it is good!"

"As ordered!"

"..."

"Wang Jun, Qu Yuanxiang, listen to my order. You lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to guard Gengyang Prefecture!"

"and many more……"

Wang Jun was confused and asked, "You mean, the two of us don't need to attack? There is a warrior in the True Strength Realm in Wucheng. Are you still a Transcendental?"

He heard it a few days ago.

Chen Sanshi led his men out to kill a lot of people, and announced to the outside world that he had reached the realm of true strength.

But it's fake after all.

"Yes, the surname is Chen."

Qu Yuanxiang, who had just returned from the capital, said with disdain, "Aren't you afraid that Han Xiang will come looking for you in person? One of us has perfected Qi training, and the other has true strength. Killing you won't be a problem!"

"He'll come to me."

Chen Sanshi said calmly: "But you don't need to worry about my life or death. You just need to follow my instructions and guard Gengyang Mansion! This is related to your own sect mission!"

Even if the granary in Wucheng was burned down, it did not mean that the Xiqi army would be immediately wiped out.

If at this time, Han Xiang and his men led their troops to attack Gengyang Prefecture and wiped out their own army, the situation would still be that Dasheng was at a disadvantage and Xiqi was at an advantage.

Therefore, defending the city is extremely critical in this battle.

"Insanity."

Qu Yuanxiang did not disobey the order, but just said: "Anyway, once you die, I will run away!"

"Brother Chen, don't worry."

Wang Jun assured: "No matter what, I will defend the city."

His status in the sect is neither high nor low. If he wants to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, he may only have this one chance in his lifetime. How can he not risk his life?

"Thank you."

Chen Sanshi clasped his fists and came to the battlefield.

In the darkness of the night, under the firelight, his white robe and silver spear were particularly eye-catching, and his voice was like thunder, resounding through the sky:

"Fifteen days ago!"

"I told you so!"

"The winner will be decided within fifteen days!"

"Now, I will fulfill my promise!"

"Tonight——"

"We just need to take down a small dock city!"

"The 300,000-strong army of Xiqi will be reduced to ashes!"

“This is it!”

"A miracle not seen in a century!"

"Wait!"

"Are you willing to join me in building a career and killing the Qi bandits?!"

"I'm willing to follow!"

The soldiers shouted in unison:
"To establish a career——"

"Kill the Qi thieves—"

"kill--"

"kill--"

The sound of killing shook the sky.

"Boom——"

The gates of Gengyang Prefecture were wide open.

The Hongze Camp, together with the 7,000 elite soldiers of the Du Biao Army, totaled 22,000 people, and they were immersed in the endless darkness.

……

The Western Qi army.

The martial arts arena, on the high platform.

Han Xiang stood under the torch, observing the chessboard in front of him.

Monks Zhu Gui, Zhong Wuxin and others were gathering the army below and arranging the next deployment of troops.

According to their calculations.

Dasheng’s food supplies have been exhausted.

Next, we only need to march forward with a large army and surround the city for dozens of days. If we are lucky, it will only take twenty days for the 150,000 Du Biao troops to voluntarily leave the city and surrender.

"Senior Brother Han!"

It was at this time.

A cultivator came flying in the air and said, "Something happened. I need to tell you. Liao Fang, who was in charge of calculating the grain and grass accounts, fled on a fast horse at 1:00 a.m. today and disappeared. I don't know where he went."

"What did you say?!"

Han Xiang's hand, which was about to make a move, froze in mid-air: "Did you bully him?"

"He, he was drunk and messed up!"

The monk explained: "He often insults me and others behind my back, so I scared him a little."

"idiot!"

Han Xiang stood up suddenly and shouted angrily: "Since you have humiliated him, why don't you just kill him? You will leave him as a troublesome thing! He must have gone to Chen Sanshi now and has already informed the enemy that our army's food and grass are stored in Wucheng!"

Hear this.

Zhong Wuxin, Gong Yu, as well as many generals and monks, were all shocked.

"What should I do?!"

Gong Yu was facing a formidable enemy: "We are so close to success, are we going to fail at this moment?!"

"..."

Although Han Xiang was angry about the complications caused by his fellow disciples' actions, he did not panic. He looked calmly at the chessboard in front of him, and placed several chess pieces alternately, black and white, to set up the situation in front of him.

He said, “To reach Wucheng without being discovered by the city defenders along the way, our army will not have more than 25,000 people, and the actual number will be even less.

“There are two ways to make our next move.

“First, lead the army to Wucheng immediately, but time is tight and at most only 50,000 people can arrive in time.

"Second, while their main fighting force is attacking Wucheng, my army will go out in full force to attack Gengyang Prefecture."

"Brother Han, you can't go to Wucheng!"

Zhu Gui emphasized: "That Chen Sanshi, who is at the Transcendent Realm, can kill 10,000 people without exhaustion, and it is even easier for him to kill those in the late stage of Qi Refining. Moreover, when he attacks Wucheng, he will definitely bring the cultivators of Shengyun Sect who have reached the Perfect Qi Refining Stage with him. I am afraid that with our 50,000 troops, we may not be able to win!
"I think we should attack Gengyang Prefecture. Their army is still inside the city. After the city is captured, no one will be left alive. This war will end immediately, without even having to wait a month!
"We can then return to the sect to report!"

He paused, leaned close to Bingxian's ear, and said in a low voice, "Brother Han, there is one more thing you must not forget. At most, a few of these mortal 'chess pieces' will die when we attack Gengyang Prefecture, but if we go head-to-head with Chen Sanshi, both you and I may die!"

After all.

Most of them come to this world to pursue immortality, not to fight for their lives.

"Pass the order."

Han Xiang's mind was filled with the image of the man in white robes killing the enemy in the battle in the wilderness. He finally made up his mind and made a heavy move, his voice like a bell:

“All troops attack!
"Go straight...

"Gengyang Mansion!"

……

in the wilderness.

Chen Sanshi led the Hongze Camp to advance rapidly.

Wei Xuan followed beside him: "Brother Chen, do we really not need to bring someone who has reached the perfection of Qi Refining? There are warriors with true strength in Wucheng. The difference between true Qi and true strength is a world of difference."

In fact.

Chen Sanshi only needs one last step to open the eighth scene of the upper part.

But he couldn't wait any longer.

Liao Fang was afraid of death, but also wanted to save face.

Therefore, they had to bring him to Dasheng in person before they were willing to reveal the information.

Han Xiang will soon notice that Liao Fang has disappeared.

No time to practice.

but……

Fighting itself is a form of practice!

and.

It is the best and most effective practice!
"Brother Chen."

Song Guizhi also asked curiously: "And why are you sure that Han Xiang will choose to attack Gengyang Prefecture first instead of supporting Wucheng first?"

"On the one hand, there aren't enough soldiers and horses that can rush to Wucheng in time. On the other hand..."

Chen Sanshi said in a deep voice: "I will tell him in person and let him die knowing full well!"

Between words.

arrive at the destination.

In the dark night, a small but sturdy city stood in front of them, like a giant beast blocking the way.

Chen Sanshi reined in his horse and stopped.

The army then stopped.

He took out the storage bag he had collected from the monks and pulled out one siege machine after another.

The food in the storage bags would not last more than a few days for an army of more than 100,000.

But it is enough to hold some equipment.

Ever since joining the army.

Every time Chen Sanshi led his troops to fight, he relied on cavalry to achieve victory by surprise, but this time, he needed to attack the city.

He ordered all the soldiers to dismount and hand the horses over to Commander Qianxun.

"brothers!"

"Right ahead!"

"I will be the pioneer and clear the way for you!"

"Take this city and defeat Xiqi!"

Twenty-two thousand soldiers shouted in unison.

"Defeat Xiqi! Defeat Xiqi!"

"kill--"

"..."

Chen Sanshi took out the black bead.

since.

After the last visit to Langjuxu Mountain, the Xuan Qi increased dramatically, and when it was stationed in Gengyang Prefecture, it was also growing rapidly.

He could conclude that the source of the mysterious energy had nothing to do with whether or not one could win the battle, but was related to something like public opinion.

In short.

The profound energy accumulated in it is enough to support 22,000 people to use the Heavenly Book Formation once.

After the army's night of attack.

At this moment.

It's already the Mao hour.

The night was quietly fading away, the sky was slightly turning pale, the eastern sky was gradually dyed with a light golden color, the morning light poured down like flowing water, the mist was looming in the golden light, everything between heaven and earth seemed quiet and peaceful.

Until waves of murderous aura rose into the sky, and even the light in the sky, which had just come up, became a little turbid and heavy!
"The whole army!"

"Array up!"

"Keng——"

Chen Sanshi drew out the Zhenyue Sword from his waist and pointed it directly at Chaoyang. His voice shook the mountains and rivers, and his murderous intent soared into the sky:
"Qian Kun Tu He Di Long Formation——"

The formations in the heavenly book had long been incorporated into the daily training of the Da Sheng army.

Not to mention the Hongze Camp, even the 7,000 Du Biao Army soldiers who followed were all extremely familiar with it.

Under the guidance of the battle flag.

The 22,000 men quickly formed up their array. They each occupied their position in the array, which was vaguely in harmony with the great way of heaven and earth, affecting the barren land of the western region.

All the mysterious energy in the black bead poured out and blessed the top of the formation.

All of a sudden.

The 20,000 soldiers seemed to feel that they had become one with the earth, as if they could control the earth dragons.

"Hongze Camp!"

"charge!"

"Siege!"
