It's just that Lin Gui only has the cultivation level of the early stage of foundation establishment. Trying to refine the soul of a late stage monk into a ghost weapon to be the main soul is an extremely difficult task. If not, it might be counterattacked by Zhang Ba's soul.
Seriously injured, or even more likely to die from soul-eating!
However, Lin Gui is also a ruthless person with a firm mind. How could he let go of such an excellent opportunity to improve his strength? While Lin Qing was busy attacking the Zhao army, he had been hiding in a place in Gaoyang City.
In the secret room, cast spells to control Zhang Ba.
Lin Gui's method to prevent backlash was simple and cruel, that is, to torture Zhang Ba with various cruel methods, making him miserable but unable to die quickly. In this way, after a long process of beating Zhang Ba to death, his soul
It is weak and unable to be collected easily, but it is also full of violent energy. After being slightly nourished on the soul flag, it can become a powerful evil spirit!
When Zhang Ba finally died, there was no intact skin left on his body, and the bones all over his body were broken into pieces. The strong vitality of the monks in the late stage of foundation building allowed him to hold on for a long time before finally dying. After being tortured, his soul
It was still extremely fierce and unusual. It took Lin Gui three days to successfully put it into the soul flag. The whole process was extremely dangerous and dangerous. If it weren't for the fact that the "Black Soul Thousand Soul Flag" was indeed a high-grade ghost weapon, Lin Gui would have
You can't control it successfully.
After receiving the "Black Evil Thousand Souls Banner", Zhang Ba's soul suddenly showed its ferocious nature, and actually swallowed all the main souls except "Xiao Hong", which made Lin Gui feel that his hard work was not in vain.
field.
It can be said that Zhang Ba deserved it when he met such a miserable end. Lin Qing hated people who were treacherous and cruel, so he let Lin Gui refine his soul alive.
When leaving for the front line of the Great Dian Kingdom, Lin Qing only brought the ghost slave Lin Gui with him. He left the entire "Hongtian Camp" in Gaoyang City to guard the later Emperor Tie Wuxuan of the Zhao Kingdom and prevent "true spirits"
"The Gate" sent people to kidnap him.
According to the interrogation of the prisoners, the entire force of monks supported by the imperial family of Hou Zhao was wiped out on that crazy night. Even if a few escaped, they did not dare to gain a foothold in Hou Zhao again, so the only way
Perhaps the only people who came to rescue Tie Wuxuan were those from the "True Spirit Sect".
With the "Hongtian Camp" standing guard, it would be impossible to kidnap Tie Wuxuan unless the "True Spirit Sect" went crazy and dispatched three or four golden elixir stage monks at the same time.
Sima Yan was left to cooperate with Mo Sanniang in organizing people to clean up the battlefield. After all, two to three hundred foundation-building monks died in the battle. The storage bags on their bodies may still be found, and the magical weapons that were destroyed can also be recovered.
Utilize, as well as those semi-spiritual steel crossbows and matching crossbow arrows shot out by the "Hongtian Camp", etc.
After cleaning the battlefield, Sima Yan was also responsible for sending the cleaned siege equipment of the Hou Zhao Kingdom that were still usable, as well as the craftsmen slaves who could repair and make such equipment, to Bai Qi's army in preparation for the siege.
use.
What makes Lin Qing regretful is that when the two Jindan stage casual cultivators were shot and killed by the "Hongtian Camp", most of the storage bags on their bodies were also directly shot, and the contents stored in them were naturally destroyed.
For nothing.
Apart from the hand-protecting hooks, the two people had only one storage bag that was still intact. There were not many valuable items in it. Only ten bottles of medium-grade "Rejuvenation Pill" could barely make Lin Qing take notice.
Eye.
In the cultivation world of Zhongtian Continent, elixirs are divided into low-grade, medium-grade, top-grade, top-grade, divine grade, holy grade and other grades according to their potency.
It's just that the quality of elixirs is greatly affected by external interference, such as raw materials, furnace fires, craftsmanship, etc. The elixirs refined from the same elixir recipe also have different grades, so the grade must be placed in front of the name of the elixir.
, to facilitate user identification.
"Rejuvenation Pill" is a very mature elixir in the Zhongtian Continent. Its effect is to extend people's lifespan. Especially for ordinary people and physical practitioners, because there is almost no opportunity to take the elixir and there is no resistance in the body, the effect is amazing.
good.
These ten bottles of "Rejuvenation Pills" are all middle-grade elixirs refined by "Zhen Ling Sect". There are a hundred pills in total. Each pill can extend your life for ten years when you take it for the first time. When you take it again in the future, it will still extend your life.
The effect will be less and less, but the specific period will be less and less, until the body has completely adapted to the effect of the drug and it will no longer have any effect.
Lin Qing didn't understand why the storage bag of the golden elixir monk contained this kind of elixir that even he didn't bother to use. Fortunately, the quantity of one hundred pills was enough, and he could give it to his subordinates as rewards in the future.
.
Lin Qing, who was accompanied by the "Ghost Faced Four-Clawed Owl", quickly arrived at Baiqi Military Camp and found that the situation here was mixed.
Worryingly, according to the latest military information sent by "Ignorance Pavilion", the Great Dian Kingdom will dispatch at least 50,000 troops, and they will mainly be cavalry.
The combat power of the Great Dian Army was stronger than that of the Later Zhao Kingdom. Although the number of troops sent should not exceed 100,000, because the Lutheran Army had to divide its troops to besiege those cities, the military strength was still weak. If the two sides started a head-on confrontation
If so, even if we can win, it will be a lose-lose outcome.
The good news is that Bai Qi has already thought of how to deal with the reinforcements from the Dian Kingdom, but he still lacks enough soldiers to implement it.
Between the Yuanjiabao area and the interior of the Great Dian Kingdom, there are several criss-crossing mountains. The terrain here is rugged, and the army can only walk in the mountain valleys, and only through a few fixed mountain passes can it reach Yuanjiabao.
and worry-free leading directions.
Bai Qi discovered this situation in the captured military maps of Greater Yunnan. He immediately asked Yuan Weidi to find out more, which also confirmed the reliability of these military maps.
His plan was to divide his troops into several routes to block these must-pass mountain passes, and then set up checkpoints widely on the surrounding ridges. He could use the dangerous terrain to block the Dian army with a smaller force.
, and there will be no major casualties.
However, in this way, the remaining Lutheran Army soldiers and horses will inevitably be unable to maintain the siege of the remaining four cities. If the large Dian army in the city attacks together and cooperates with the reinforcements, then the Lutheran Army will be in danger.
"If we divide our forces to block the mountain pass, how many troops will be needed, not counting the checkpoints?" Lin Qing asked with a slight frown.
Bai Qi already understood this and said:
"My lord, there are 50,000 cavalry under the general's command. If we divide the troops to block those mountain passes, it will take 25,000 to 30,000 people. The general will also have to go and sit in person to ensure that everything is safe."
Lin Qing counted with his fingers and found that it was almost the same period as the one-month period mentioned by the Great Dian Kingdom. He waved his hand and said decisively:
"The military situation is urgent now. Only by blocking the Yunnan Army on the other side of the mountain can we capture this thousand-mile land at the minimum cost. You immediately lead 30,000 people to block the mountain pass. Don't be afraid of trouble and seize the time to repair some
Fortifications, we will build permanent passes at these mountain passes in the future, so that the threat of the Great Dian Kingdom can be solved once and for all."
"No!" After Bai Qi stood up and listened to the order, he asked hesitantly: "My lord, there may be small paths connecting the mountains, and beacon posts must be set up high on the ridges to ensure nothing goes wrong."
"As for the checkpoint, we can arrange for Yuan Weidi to organize the Yuan clan and the mine guards to go up first. We can also ask him to recruit some nearby mountain people and give them more silver. These people are familiar with the nearby terrain and are afraid of the Great Dian Kingdom.
It is more convenient for the army to cross the border to harass our own people than to use our own soldiers." Lin Qing answered confidently.
"My lord is very thoughtful, but if this is the case, you only have 20,000 cavalry left here, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue to besiege these four cities!" Bai Qi bluntly expressed his doubts.
Lin Qing said:
"It doesn't matter. The three thousand armored heavy cavalry will then escort the ten thousand prisoners of Zhao State. They have been turned into war slaves. Together, these troops will not be a problem to deal with those guys huddled in the city!"
Before coming to the military camp, he had seen the defenses of these cities on the back of the "Ghost Faced Four-Clawed Owl". There was nothing to worry about. Bai Qi had not attacked the city before because he lacked powerful siege forces.
Equipment and experienced soldiers, now that these two shortcomings had been made up, he simply prepared to attack the city directly.
After discussing the plan, Bai Qi immediately summoned 30,000 Xinyi troops and hurriedly left. Yuan Weidi, who had received Lin Qing's order, also returned to Yuanjiabao and began to organize the tribesmen and mine guards to set up beacon checkpoints.
The remaining 20,000 Xinyi troops were actually mostly distributed around the four cities in the form of cavalry. Lin Qing only had 5,000 cavalry left at hand.
Not long after Bai Qi rushed over, the army of the Great Dian Kingdom began to attack, several days earlier than the January deadline. They originally wanted to rush through the mountain passes with poor roads in advance.
The army dispatched by the Great Dian Kingdom this time was not the 50,000 as reported in the intelligence, but 50,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry. Fortunately, the mountain pass had been occupied by the Lutheran Army first, otherwise the Lutheran Army would be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and did not fight locally.
You will immediately fall into passivity.
In the battle where the Great Yunnan Army tried to seize the mountain pass, Bai Qi once again demonstrated his amazing command and combat capabilities, making full use of the steep and narrow terrain of these mountain passes, like a tightly closed bronze door, to capture the mountain pass.
The Great Yunnan Army blocked the mountain pass and had not suffered any major losses.
During this period, the large Dian army stationed in those cities did not seem to have any preparations to receive reinforcements. They were still huddled in the cities, which made Lin Qing sigh that they were indeed a little too worried.
As time went by, Lin Qing defeated the 100,000-strong army of the Later Zhao Kingdom with 500 infantry, killed the 200 foundation-building monks of the "True Spirit Sect", and captured the news of the Emperor Tie Wuxuan of the Later Zhao Kingdom gradually spread throughout the ten human races.
Suddenly, there was an uproar everywhere in the six countries!
