The next day, when the wake-up horn sounded, Su Lang put on new clothes and walked out of the tent. Although he had not slept all night, he was still in good spirits. Although this stage of physical training was difficult, it went smoothly. After all, he had gone through

The road is familiar.

Su Lang decided to make a new attempt. The body forging and the opening of the Tianmen would be carried out simultaneously. It would be best if the Qi Dan was also formed at the same time on the day when the furnace cauldron was forged!

This is definitely an interesting challenge!

According to the rules of the Guangyang Sect, this is absolutely not allowed. You have to eat one bite at a time, walk step by step, and step by step is the right way. Taking too big a step can easily break the egg. However, after rebirth, Su Lang has no idea about these stereotypes.

I have gained a new understanding. Physical exercise is physical exercise, and alchemy is alchemy. They are two different things. Although there is a sequence, they can still be performed simultaneously.

The key is to understand my degree, which degree is mysterious and mysterious, which is very challenging.

Last night's forging went very smoothly. It was an old road, he was familiar with it, and there was no pressure. If he continues at this rate, he will be able to forge the furnace (bronze realm) in three months. Once the furnace is completed, the next step will be

It's the elixir.

This is the most critical step in the long process of cultivation, a leap between the divine and the mortal. Taking this step will be accompanied by great pain. Su Lang couldn't help but sweat when he thought of the pain that penetrated his heart and lungs.

Drenching, it was really like being in purgatory, endless torture.

After breakfast, we went to the Zhongjun Dianmao. Mi Changle was a very old-fashioned person. Ding is Dingmao and he would not open the back door to anyone. Su Lang did not want to conflict with him. The auxiliary soldier responsible for cleaning waited for him to leave.

When he walked into his tent and was cleaning up the house, he found a piece of underwear that was caked with salt. The auxiliary soldier was very surprised and wondered what Su Lang had done to make him sweat so much.

He looked up at the sky. Although the east had turned white, the cold stars were still hanging in the sky. It was lonely and deserted. It was late autumn and you needed a quilt to sleep peacefully at night. Is it really that hot? Auxiliary shook his head and put on his underwear.

He clipped a small wooden sign on it and put it in his basket, and continued to search for the second tent. His daily work was very hard and he didn't have time to explore too many questions.

On this day, the army entered Longxing County, Canglang County, Haizhou.

Many years ago, when Qi County was still called Qizhou, Canglang County was a famous city in Shandong, and Longxing County was famous for its wealth. The Jiang family, a powerful family in Shandong, who lives here, has cultivated the local area for hundreds of years and is extremely powerful.

It is powerful and has actually maintained a semi-independent state for a long time. Due to the special geographical environment, the sound of drums has not been heard here for hundreds of years. The people are so simple that they are almost stupid. It is said that the orcs, the pioneers of the barbarian army, came from the sea.

When they landed in Haizhou, the people happily ran to do business with the orcs.

The Qi people are world-famous for being good at doing business. They can even negotiate deals with the sharks in the East China Sea. But this time they obviously found the wrong person. The orcs are not the sharks. The sharks just look weird, have indifferent expressions, and have a cold nature.

In fact, it's not that bad. Moreover, the sharks admire human civilization and are happy to live in harmony with others.

But the orcs are very different. They are the mixed descendants of the barbarians and the orcs. Although the blood of the human race flows in their bodies, they are resentful of the human race south of the Great Wall because they are still unwilling to admit that they are humans.

prejudice.

They have always hated people, and have always killed one on sight, and a pair on sight, without mercy.

After several rounds of killings, the Qi people came to their senses and fled the villages and towns one after another into the swamps and mountains to save their lives. Their shrewd nature made them take everything they owned - not just gold and silver - when they escaped.

Cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, cloth, clothing, grain, and even heavy millstones were all packed away. The burden of their belongings made many Qi people become snacks for the orcs because they did not retreat quickly enough.

The orcs' violent aggressiveness inadvertently caused great difficulties to the barbarian army that followed. The barbarians are uncivilized people. They march and fight based on instinct. They don't understand the messy principles of "move forward before the soldiers and horses have food and grass". This is

This limits their ability to fight far from towns for the simple reason that if they cannot get enough food from the battlefield, they are likely to starve to death.

People were scared away. Where did the food come from?

If there is no food, then there is no need to fight.

This unexpected difficulty almost completely failed the strategy of the barbarians' southern expedition. Samoa's original intention was to first occupy the densely populated and wealthy Qizhou Peninsula, use it as a base, rest and recuperate for a period of time, and then fight again the next spring.

But now, they are facing the danger of being wiped out due to lack of food before winter comes.

For this reason, they had no choice but to take the risk and march to Shenjing City, hoping to cut through the mess quickly and make the emperor of the Guangming Dynasty surrender in one fell swoop, thus grabbing the maximum benefits.

However, all the plans came to nothing under Daozhou City.

More than one person told Samoa that Dugu Guangliang was an incompetent person. He was a dandy who relied on his blood to get to the top. He could completely catch him by surprise. As long as he opened a hole in Daozhou, the heart of the Guangming Dynasty would be in chaos, and the Dugu family would be in chaos.

He can only grovel and ask for surrender, and then he can open his mouth and kill him severely.

Although this may not completely defeat the Dugu clan, the strategic goal is still achieved.

As long as the Guangming Dynasty lifts the brutal blockade of the barbarian lands, the barbarians will soon grow stronger. In ten years, or at most twenty years, the barbarians will sweep across the middle-land with the force of annihilation and complete the final conquest of the human race.

Daozhou, that not so fierce battle under the city of Daozhou completely ended everything.

This was a huge turning point. After this battle, Samoa lost its strategic initiative.

However, for the hundreds of thousands of generals and soldiers of the Guangming Dynasty, the significance of the Battle of Daozhou has been infinitely diluted. The turning point of the war, shit, it is just a few of the opening preludes of the grand strategic counterattack.

It's an insignificant note. Qijun is the key, core and turning point of this war. Everyone knows the reason.

The victory of Qijun is almost certain, and the destruction of the barbarians is only a matter of time. Of course, the emperor in the Nine Forbidden Palace cannot let such an epic war end so quickly. He wants to expand the space for his stage so that he can

Perform in front of the people all over the world and enjoy the show.

In the cooler autumn, go out to stretch your muscles and show off your dragon power.

This led to the Haizhou Military Parade that shocked the world.

Longxing County is very large, with straight and wide streets, and quite gorgeous buildings. Although it is just a display, it is definitely not inferior to other counties in the mainland. On the day when the Daozhou army entered the city, they unexpectedly encountered an army on the street.

The Youzhou Army that withdrew from the east consisted of about 2,000 men. The soldiers were wearing tattered khaki military uniforms, with dirty faces. About one-third of them had wounds on their bodies. The officers were riding on horses.

, eyes dull, exhausted...

This is an army with low morale. If the military flag is not still bright, it can easily be mistaken for a defeated army.

"It seems to have just been withdrawn from the battlefield."

Sikong Baisui felt that something was fishy, ​​so he ran over to ask. Unexpectedly, he was beaten back as soon as he opened his mouth. Sikong Baisui ran away with his head in his hands, shouting "killer" as he ran.

The Youzhou Army belongs to the frontier army. The frontier army has been fighting against the barbarians in the north all year round. Its combat effectiveness is very strong. They have never taken the Daozhou Army into consideration. They ridiculed the Daozhou Army as a tofu army, raised in a greenhouse.

Flowers, which have not experienced wind and rain, are vulnerable.

The Daozhou Army ridiculed the Youzhou Army for being a beggar army and stragglers. Due to the bitter cold in the border areas and insufficient supplies, the border army's equipment was generally poor, and their clothing and weapons were of all kinds.

of the state army.

Neither of the two armies looked down upon the other, and they were already very nervous when they met suddenly. When Sikong Baisui shouted this, they immediately became tense. The generals on both sides became very nervous and rushed over to suppress them.

"I didn't expect that you would stoop so low as to associate with animals. It's really ridiculous."

"Who the hell is a beast? You are the beast."

"You beast."

"You beast."

The tense situation turned into a war of words. The generals of both armies felt ashamed and ordered them to return to their respective groups, otherwise they would be dealt with according to military law.

Sikong Baisui came back feeling disheartened. Su Lang said: "The Youzhou army often fights with orcs. Their eyes are sharp and their noses are very powerful. You should be careful and they will see your flaws."

"Bah, why didn't you tell me earlier? I almost let them beat me."

"I thought you knew this because of your intelligence."

"You...what you said makes some sense. I thought there was something fishy about this matter, so I took the risk to ask."

"Great, what did you ask about?"

Sikong Baisui suddenly looked around with vigilance, and lowered his voice and said to Su Lang: "It's strange. They were attacked by orcs last night and fought a fierce battle. The orcs were fighting the orcs."

Su Lang said: "Two thousand troops and horses fought against the orcs, and it seems that they lost. They were still elite Youzhou frontier troops. So this group of orcs is very powerful."

"Definitely not weak. What's even more strange is that the orcs took the initiative to attack in a sneak attack. Doesn't it mean that the orcs are gone? Damn it, they dare to sneak attack on the elite Youzhou Army. This is also called 'the war is over'?!"

Su Lang's eyes darkened. On the surface, the situation in Haizhou was peaceful, but in fact, there were undercurrents everywhere. It seemed that this "bandit-suppression" trip was not that simple.

Under Mi Changle's strict order, the Daozhou army maintained restraint and watched two thousand Youzhou troops crossing the border under their noses.

Then the Daozhou Army started to activate amidst the yelling and cursing, and all kinds of pornographic jokes slandering the Youzhou Army emerged one after another.

Su Lang's expression became more and more solemn. Suddenly, he jumped off the flying dragon colt and walked vigorously to the wild field by the roadside, where there was a pile of burned ashes.

Upon seeing this, the Mi brothers hurried over.

"What's wrong, A Lang, what did you see?"

"Human bones."

"Human bones!" Mi Junfeng screamed in a fuss, covering his mouth and about to vomit.

Relatively speaking, Mi Junyang, who had been tempered by the flames of war, was much calmer. He bent down and fiddled with the ashes with a branch, and his brows gradually wrinkled: "It is indeed human bones. Barbarians can't get cattle and sheep."

They start eating people when they serve as military rations. This is normal. They have always done this. They don't understand the logistics. They use local materials for food. If they have cattle and sheep, they will eat cattle and sheep. If there are no cattle and sheep, they will eat people like orcs.

When they fight, they often drive a large group of people and eat wherever they go."

Speaking of this, Mi Junyang suddenly fell silent. After a while, he said worriedly: "The problem is, they actually learned how to build a stove! How is this possible? Although they can't eat people alive, they definitely don't know how to build a stove.
Chapter completed!
