Chapter 69: Complete Fire Crow Formation
"Marquis Lieyang, I have been a little worried. If they had killed you in the raging water, I would have missed the opportunity to learn military tactics from the Marquis of the Chinese Empire."

The military genius Sun Jinbiao is not just one person.

On the western hillside, there were densely packed soldiers in helmets and armor.

The number exceeds five hundred.

I don’t know how the Eight Immortals from the West sent them here.

Moreover, they formed a military formation just like the Fire Crow Army at this time. All the qi of each person was connected together, and the formation became a whole.

The Fire Crow Army charged with a sharp arrow formation, which looked like a four-clawed fire dragon - the fire dragon was missing half of its body, leaving only two claws.

On the western hillside, there lay a dark red one-horned rhinoceros.

They were all infantry, and none of them were on horseback.

Even Sun Jinbiao, who was at the front of the army and wearing black iron armor, stood on the ground with a Guandao in his hand.

Marquis Lieyang responded to the other party's invitation to fight and took back the control of the "Fire Dragon" from Xiaoyu.

The fire dragon changed direction and "swam" quickly towards the western hillside - Bao Shengshui maintained the water avoidance and water control techniques, allowing the Fire Crow Army cavalry to gallop on the water.

“If you want to compete with me in military strategy and formation, you can set up your troops outside the city gate and fight me fair and square before I crush Chechi State.

Even if you lose, I will respect you as a warrior on the battlefield, not an assassin who is not worthy of being in the hall."

Marquis Lieyang stopped in front of the hillside and did not launch an immediate charge.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Sun Jinbiao raised his voice, his voice full of resentment and unwillingness, "My army had just left Shounan County when the news came that Mao Tian had surrendered.

I wanted to continue to serve the king, but was stopped by Mao Tian, ​​who sent thirteen gold medals in a row.

Finally, he slandered me, the righteous people of the 72 forts of Shounan Mountain, as bandits and robbers who were not worthy of the title of "protecting the country and guarding the emperor."

Mao Tian was the king of Chechi State before and he still is now.

Because he surrendered quickly enough.

Marquis Lieyang simply stripped him naked, hung him outside the Meridian Gate, and whipped him thirty times as a punishment for disobeying the superiors.

Sun Jinbiao’s 72 Forts in Shounan Mountain were not the regular army of Chechi State.

Sun Jinbiao is 57 years old this year. Forty years ago, he served as a general in Chechi State. Due to the discord with the new king, he retired and returned to his hometown at the age of .

Although he retired, he did not return to his hometown to enjoy a peaceful life, but wandered around Western countries.

When passing by Shounan Mountain, he encountered bandits robbing the road, but he didn't expect that the bandit leader was his fanboy.

General Sun first stayed temporarily in Shounan Mountain, then gradually recruited nearby bandits, persuaded them to mend their ways, and gradually established seventy-two forts.

Although they had never received a single copper coin from the king of Chechi State, upon learning that the Chinese state was going to destroy Chechi State, the Seventy-two Forts still gathered an army of 80,000 with their own dry food.

The entire Shounan Mountain area has a registered population of only over 300,000.

At this moment, the soldiers lined up neatly behind Sun Jinbiao were all warriors from the 72 forts of Shounan Mountain.

"I see. This Marquis only knows that you have joined the Eight Immortals Alliance, but I don't know about Chechi Kingdom."

Marquis Lieyang nodded slightly and asked, "Since King Chechi is not grateful to you and even humiliates you, why do you have to get involved with Dou Yilin and the others?"

In fact, he knew that Sun Jinbiao and the five hundred elite soldiers from the Seventy-two Forts were going to ambush him at Feixiandu.

There were five hundred soldiers, and there were many talkative people, so they could not hide anything, and Gao Xianjue, who had a sharp ear, had already found out the truth.

Of course, the Eight Immortals of the West also knew that Marquis Lieyang knew about Sun Jinbiao’s ambush plan, which was their arrangement.

Marquis Lieyang regarded Gao Xianjue as a hidden trump card, but the Eight Immortals knew of Gao Xianjue's existence.

The "Sun Shooting Plan" consists of two parts: the obvious one is made known to Gao Xianjue so that Marquis Lieyang can rest assured. The arrangement hidden in the dark is the real killer move.

There is no doubt that the 500 elite soldiers from the Seventy-two Forts, who already find it difficult to hide their tracks, are most suitable to be placed in the "open".

Therefore, Marquis Lieyang became more and more confused. Why was Sun Jinbiao willing to take the greatest risk?
"Just because Mao Tian humiliated me doesn't mean you can humiliate him! You hang him outside the Meridian Gate, and whip him, but he is the one who is in pain. He has already lost his dignity.

But the ones who should be humiliated are the ancestors and the people of Chechi!
How can I, as a general of the state, tolerate this?" Sun Jinbiao shouted.

Marquis Lieyang said: "The emperor of the upper state is the ruler and father, and the king of the lower state is the minister and son.

This is the great etiquette agreed upon by the whole world.

Therefore, there is a saying that envoys from a superior state do not bow to the ruler of a subordinate state.

I am an envoy from a superior state. Even if the King of Chechi is virtuous and wise, I can still be on an equal footing with him.

Now your monarch has no reputation for virtue, and you are rebellious and violate the dignity of our Chinese nation. I will flog you, which is completely in accordance with etiquette and law. "

"The emperor of a higher state is the father of the ruler, and the king of a lower state is the son of the minister. This is the truth of heaven and earth, and I have nothing to say. But you can beat me if you want, in the palace, in the hall, or even in the street with clothes on.

You strip him naked and hang him outside the door for everyone to see. Your purpose is not to punish him at all!
Moreover, the rulers of a higher state should care for their subjects and should be moral role models for rulers of all nations.

But you keep talking about "propriety" and "etiquette". Where are the propriety and etiquette in the present-day Great Qin?
Our Chechi country is 100,000 miles away from the heartland of China. How can it threaten the great Chinese nation?
Why do you come to our Chechi area every year to plunder Taoist seeds, destroy Feng Shui, suppress dragon veins, and plunder our fortune?

I am ninety-seven years old this year. In the first half of my life, the entire Chechi Kingdom has only encountered a few monster disasters.

As a result, in the short decades of the second half of his life, in the south alone, huge monsters would destroy cities every now and then.

Two years ago, an elephant monster descended on Huizhou City and sucked 300,000 people into its mouth, chewing them up in big gulps while pouring blood. I was too slow to catch up with it, so I could only watch it walk away with a big laugh.

I'm afraid you, a nobleman from the upper state, will never be able to understand that kind of grief, indignation, helplessness and pain, right?"

Sun Jinbiao became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end his eyes were filled with tears and he roared in grief.

Lieyang Hou said calmly: "From the Lianghe Beach battlefield outside Tianmen Town to today's Feixian Ferry, this marquis has explained countless times that the demon plague that has occurred in the western countries in recent years has nothing to do with our Great Qin.

On the contrary, His Majesty the Human Emperor had already had the intention to eliminate the monster and protect the people after receiving the report.

However, the evil spirits are not only present in Western countries, they are more serious and urgent in other places.”

"How can it have nothing to do with you!" Dou Yilin said angrily: "If Dao Miao can grow up in my western part, how many more immortals will there be in the countries?"

Lieyang Hou said calmly: "How old are you guys?

With talents and opportunities like yours, the average age of being promoted to human immortals is over 100 years old. The Great Qin Dao Palace may have been looking for Dao seedlings, but in just a few decades, can those Dao seedlings naturally grow into human immortals?
Even if you become a human immortal, what's the use facing a demon king who is more powerful than a celestial immortal?

Forget it. There is no point in saying anything at this moment, and I am not in the mood to chat with you.

I just felt sorry for General Sun's loyalty and his grand battle formation, so I stopped and waited for the flood to recede, so that the infantry could go down the mountain and calmly set up their formation, so that we could use a fair battle to send General Sun off for the last time."

Monk Miao was dead, the flood had no source, and Feixiandu was located at a high altitude, so after a short while, the ground and rocks reappeared.

In fact, the Fire Crow Army has used the actual combat just now to prove that they are not afraid of floods.

However, there is definitely no one in Sun Jinbiao's "army of righteous people" who has mastered the art of avoiding and controlling water.

Sun Jinbiao looked at Marquis Lieyang for a long time with complicated eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I can only respond to you with the strongest killing array."

Marquis Lieyang nodded and said, "I have the same idea."

After saying this, he raised his right hand and gestured to the Fire Crow Army behind him.

Xiaoyu doesn’t understand, and she doesn’t need to understand.

Song Changqing spontaneously changed his position according to Marquis Lieyang's will.

In less than half a minute, the Fire Crow Army, which had only 300 men left, changed from an arrow formation to a goose formation.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Sun Jinbiao finally brought the "one-horned rhino" down the hillside.

In fact, General Sun’s efficiency is not low either.

They had no horses, and more than 500 people ran down the hillside, their legs covered in wet mud.

This caused Xiao Yu to start to have conspiracy theories, thinking that Marquis Lieyang did not respect Old Sun's loyalty, but was simply trying to torment him and drain his energy and fighting spirit.

Of course this is a conspiracy theory.

If it were an ordinary soldier, this would indeed be detrimental to the battle.

But Sun Jinbiao himself is a human immortal, and the 72 loyal citizens under his command are all great masters in the realm of true Qi.

There was mud on the armor, and he looked a bit disheveled, but actually he didn't use up much energy.

Deploying military formations on flat ground can indeed better demonstrate the effectiveness of military tactics and formations.

Marquis Lieyang bowed his head slightly, saluted to Sun Jinbiao, then raised his Fang Tian Huaji and roared with unprecedented passion, "Extreme Yang Golden Crow, Great Sun True Flame, protect my body!"

"Quack~~~"

The shadow of a three-legged divine bird slowly emerged above Marquis Lieyang's head.

The phantom was extremely large, a hundred feet tall, with wings that shone with golden flames, covering half of the valley.

The three-legged divine bird let out a long cry, then suddenly exploded and turned into endless lava-like liquid heavenly fire, falling from the sky and landing above the Fire Crow Army, casting the 300-man army formation into a giant three-legged divine bird with a physical body.

"What the hell, the Fire Crow Army is clearly the Golden Crow Army! I'm afraid that the Fire Crow Power that Marquis Lieyang practices is also the Golden Crow Method. Is this guy too sinister, or too low-key?"

Although he was shocked, Xiaoyu, who stood on the saddle again, was still in the mood to complain.

"My men, let the military officers of the Celestial Empire see the spirit of us, the men of Chechi!"

Although the three-legged divine bird was full of momentum, the "Military Genius" Sun Jinbiao did not lose his ambition.

On the contrary, the fighting spirit in his eyes was even stronger.

Powerful true energy also burst out from his body and connected with every soldier behind him.

"Ah~~Ah~~~"

The unicorn rhinoceros' body did not expand in size, but became more solid. It raised its head and let out a roar that shook the valley.

“Kill!” Marquis Lieyang shouted and led the charge.

The three-legged bird flapped its wings at such a fast speed that it seemed to be flying close to the ground.

"Kill!" Sun Jinbiao roared, dragging his big Guandao backwards and charging forward with big strides.

"Kill~~~"

Although the soldiers of the two armies totaled only 800 people, their powerful momentum and deafening shouts gave the people around them the illusion that they were on a battlefield with thousands of troops.

"boom!!!"

The three-legged divine bird and the one-horned rhinoceros collided with each other, and the ground that had not yet dried shook slightly a few times.

Sun Jinbiao's big Guandao collided with Lieyang Hou's Fang Tian Huaji.

"Bang!" Sun Jinbiao was like a ball hitting the feet of a macho man and bounced back instantly.

The man was still in mid-air, but the black iron armor on his body had been melted by the golden flames, and the iron liquid was flowing all over the ground.

Then, the three-legged divine bird was like a sun that fell to the ground. The sun was stabbed by someone, and a large amount of golden liquid flame gushed out from the wound. The one-horned rhinoceros was submerged in endless liquid flames.

The military genius Sun Jinbiao and the five hundred volunteers from the Seventy-two Forts were completely wiped out!
"How could this be? My men are obviously more determined than your ragtag army."

Sun Jinbiao is not dead yet.

He lay on the ground, almost burnt into a piece of charcoal.

The rocky ground beneath him also turned red and soft under the scorching heat of the sun.

The red smoke horse came to his side as if walking on flat ground.

Marquis Lieyang looked down at General Che Chi from above, with a complicated expression and an indifferent tone, and said: "If belief can determine everything, why practice Taoism?"

——Besides, the righteous citizens of the Seventy-two Forts may not be able to compare with the "Western Fire Crow Army" which has completed the "one in ten miles" strategy, whether in terms of belief or personal combat power.

"Right."

Sun Jinbiao died of suffocation.
