Volume 1 The Wind Rises Blue Chapter 54 Drive Tigers and Eat Wolves!
In the afternoon of the second day, City Lord’s Mansion!
"Report! Report to the city lord! Something bad has happened!"
In the city lord's mansion, Fu Yan was drinking tea and chatting in the hall with the three elders of the Qingyun Sect who came to help. Suddenly, he saw the butler walking in with an eager look on his face!
Fu Yan frowned. This butler had been with him for more than ten years and was not an impatient person. Something important must have happened if he was so anxious!
However, when the housekeeper came to the hall and saw Su Chao, he hesitated again.
"They are all members of our own family, but it doesn't matter!" Fu Yan immediately expressed his stance when he saw Elder Sanming of the Qingyun Sect looking at him with a playful look on his face.
"Back to the city lord! The battle report came from Sanshi Town!"
When they heard about Sanshi Town, everyone present felt their hearts skip a beat. Sanshi Town? Isn't that the place where Su Jin, the son of the Su Dynasty, went to work?
"What happened to Sanshi Town?" Su Chao's expression changed and he asked anxiously.
"Sir, there is an urgent report from Sanshi Town! Last night, more than a thousand iron cavalry from Fengling City, led by an old man, attacked the guard camp at night!"
Everyone was relieved when the housekeeper said that they were guarding the barracks. It was not just a night attack on the garrison!
"Master Su Jin and Master He Qiu happened to be training troops in the guard camp and wanted to support Canglan City!"
"Then! Say it quickly!" Su Chao's expression changed again, and he stood up suddenly, his face filled with coldness!
"Master Su Jin and Master He Qiu were killed by the old man who led them! Four hundred and forty-nine of the one thousand guardsmen were killed, and seventy-eight of the other party were killed!"
"The other party killed Mr. Su Jin and Mr. He Qiu and left with their men!"
The butler's voice became quieter and quieter.
"Bastard!" Su Chao was furious and slapped the table, causing it to fall into pieces!
"Where is my son's body!" Su Chao quickly calmed down again, but his voice was piercingly cold!
He didn't believe that people from Fengling City would send a pair of cavalry to Sanshi Town to kill his son!
If he finds out that his son was harmed by others and framed for the crime, he will definitely make him regret coming into this world!
"Commander Sanshi Zhenlin sent someone to put the bodies of the two young masters in coffins and send them over!"
The housekeeper said even more cautiously.
"Take me there!" Su Chao said coldly!
The group of people came to the front yard, where two coffins were placed side by side on the ground. The steward led the city lord, Su Chao and other three elders of the Qingyun Sect.
Su Chao waved his sleeves and the lid of the measuring coffin was immediately removed. He stepped forward to take a look. It was like a bolt from the blue. His legs became weak and there was a buzzing in his mind!
The city lord and two other elders stepped forward and saw the bodies of Su Jin and He Qiu!
His whole body was bruised and purple, obviously caused by poisoning, and the faint aura exuding from his body was the core skill of the Cold Snake Sect, the Spiritual Snake Transformation!
"It was indeed done by the Cold Snake Sect. He Qiu was able to kill He Qiu with one blow, and he was still an old man. It should have been Mo Chen, the old poisoner of the Cold Snake Sect!" Elder Pan Qian said slowly with a solemn expression!
"Sir, Commander Lin also brought over the corpses of seventy-eight Fengling City cavalry. Do you need to see them?" the steward added at the side.
Fu Yan waved his hand, and it was confirmed from the injuries on the two men that it was indeed done by someone from the Cold Snake Sect!
"Cold Snake Sect! Fengling City!" Su Chao roared and then ran straight towards the city wall!
...
Under the city wall, thirty miles away, is where the Fengling City army is stationed!
Mo Chen took away 1,500 elite cavalry, and now only 8,500 soldiers are left!
In the coach's tent, Liang Kuan, Elder Hong Zhi, a horse-faced man, and Elder Huazhi, a frivolous young man, looked at each other with solemn expressions on their faces!
With no news coming back for such a long time, Elder Mo Chen and the fifteen hundred cavalry were probably wiped out!
Thinking of the disappearance of Elder Xueyan, Hongzhi and Huazhi were extremely afraid of Sanshi Town!
"No news has come back from Elder Mo Chen's trip. He has probably encountered an unexpected event. We need to make preparations in advance!"
The scene was silent, but Liang Kuan spoke first!
The two of them still respected Liang Kuan very much. They admired both Liang Kuan's strength and his ability to manage the army!
When it comes to killing enemies on the battlefield, the two of them boast that they have that strength, but when it comes to commanding an army, they have a black eye!
Elder Mo Chen launched a surprise attack last night and Liang Kuan was firmly opposed to it, but Mo Chen dismissed it and relied on his identity as an elder of the Cold Snake Sect to overpower Liang Kuan. As expected, he was ambushed!
"Old General Liang, we are not very proficient in military matters, so you can just take command!" Hua Zhi chuckled.
"Yes, General Liang can make the decision!" Hong Zhi also agreed.
Hearing this, Liang Kuan nodded, these two people are pretty good, at least they won't be a disservice!
"Last night, Canglan City ambushed Elder Mo Chen and killed 1,500 of our elite cavalry. Chen Sheng will definitely pursue him today!"
Liang Kuan looked solemn and said slowly.
When the two heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads. What Liang Kuan said was very reasonable!
"Therefore, our army needs to prepare early."
As he spoke, Liang Kuan spread out the map and slowly glanced over it. Then a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he had an idea!
"Elder Hongzhi, if you lead two thousand people to call for formation, the other party will definitely come out to fight this time!"
"Then you pretend to be invincible and lead the Blue Army into the Nanping Canyon! Then come back and join me!"
"Elder Huazhi, you lead two thousand soldiers to ambush above the Nanping Canyon! Once they dare to pursue them into the canyon, immediately block the road with huge rocks, and then use rolling logs and arrows to kill them!"
"And I will personally lead 3,500 soldiers to join forces with Elder Hong Zhi! When the enemy's best troops are out, we will seize the city!" As he said this, Liang Kuan stroked his white beard, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
Proud look!
When Hongzhi and Huazhi heard this, they looked even more excited!
He is worthy of being the pillar of Fengling City! He is really scheming and careful at every step!
This is what makes a great general!
It's a pity that Elder Mo Chen insisted on going his own way and lost his life in vain. Otherwise, he would have followed Liang Kuan's plan and captured Canglan City and then Sanshi Town. Wouldn't it be easy to capture him?
When the spirit stones are mined and used for cultivation, Elder Mo Chen may be able to go one step further, enter the realm of true essence, and extend his lifespan!
"yes!"
"yes!"
Hongzhi and Huazhi took the order and left!
...
Sanshi Town, Guard Camp!
After last night's leapfrog battle, with the assistance of body-tempering spiritual liquid and high-grade spiritual stones, and a morning of practice, Lin Du finally broke through to the first level of the spirit-tempering realm!
Wang Tiangan arranged for Wang Tiangan to distribute the pensions to the fallen soldiers one by one, while Lin Du himself sat in the camp and thought!
The gods and demon generals he summoned obviously came with memories, and had their own likes, dislikes, and alignments!
This is a good thing and a bad thing. The advantage is that it prevents one family from becoming dominant, but the disadvantage is that it is not conducive to sincere cooperation!
Now Pan Feng from the neutral camp, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu from the Soochow Protoss have been summoned!
Then the next one must choose between the Cao Wei Demon Clan or the Shu Han Clan to achieve a balance that is conducive to the healthy development of the team!
Of course, before that, Lin Du first conducted a discussion of merit and rewards!
I used 10,000 battle merits in exchange for two Tongxuan Realm advancement pills from the system! Directly promoting Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu to the pinnacle of Tongxuan Realm!
Another 10,000 battle merits were exchanged for a True Yuan Realm advancement elixir, allowing Pan Feng to be promoted to the peak of the True Yuan Realm!
There are still 16,359 points of battle merit left. Forty more soldiers from Soochow who are at the first level of the Body Tempering Realm are recruited to continue mining spiritual stones. There are still 16,059 points of battle merit left!
Lin Du must ensure that he still has 16,000 battle merit in his hand as a trump card to ensure that Pan Feng can break through again at a critical moment!
After everything is arranged, Lin Du is ready to recruit the fourth god and demon general!
