Outside Zhennanguan City, the Xingnan Kingdom's 200,000-day army camp stretches for 30 to 40 miles, with sentries at every step and bright lights. In the bloody battle for three consecutive days, no less than 30,000 elite soldiers were killed. Such casualties are not counted in the total force.
Although he was tall, his death in just three days was extremely shocking.
In the giant main camp tent, a large group of generals from the Xingnan Kingdom were having a banquet, with singers and dancers singing and dancing.[..com]
"Here comes the wine. Brothers, after fighting bloody battles all day, drink to your heart's content tonight!" "In two days, brothers will break through Zhennanguan and fight their way to Xingzhou City!"
The generals laughed, hugged each other, pushed cups and changed cups, and had fun.
More than a dozen monks in red robes passed by outside the camp and frowned when they smelled the odor of alcohol.
An old man with a cold face walking in front was none other than the leader of the Fire Worship Sect, Xu. Behind him were Xu Wei and a group of foundation-building monks. Leader Xu sent his confidant Ma Yucao to control the Xingnan royal family and mobilize
The army came to attack Zhennanguan.
Leader Xu was worried and came to Zhennanguan personally from Diyan Mountain to check the situation of the Xingnan Army. He did not expect to see such a scene.
"Dad, they are drinking and having fun in the military camp, and military discipline is so lax, how can they take over Xingzhou County?!"
Xu Wei glanced at the ugly generals in the camp and looked down upon them.
"These generals are all going to lead troops into battle. They may be killed in battle tomorrow. They can only live happily for one day. As long as they can capture Zhennan Pass, let them go!"
Leader Xu frowned, shook his head, turned around and left with the monks.
"I'm just afraid that they will make a mistake and be unable to attack Zhennanguan. Why don't I lead a group of disciples to Zhennanguan to assassinate their guard! Tomorrow Xingnan's 200,000 troops will be able to take Zhennanguan!"
Xu Wei thought for a while and said.
Leader Xu looked at Zhennanguan in the distance and pondered for a long time.
"The imperial capital and prefectures and counties of the Ulan Empire all have disciples of the Tianxu Sect in charge. What would you do if you met a monk from the Tianxu Sect in Zhennan Pass?!"
Master Xu glanced at him and said coldly, "If you don't kill the monks of Tianxu Sect, you won't be able to kill the generals of Ulan Kingdom. If you kill the monks of Tianxu Sect, you will be directly fighting against Tianxu Sect."
Let’s start a war. Will you kill or not?”
"fly!"
Xu Wei couldn't help but be speechless. With his temperament, if they met him, he would probably kill him directly.
But how could such a thing happen just by his temper?
"The war between the Xingnan Kingdom and the Birdland Empire was just a secular war with limited impact.
If we directly dispatch the monks and encounter the monks from the Tianxu Immortal Sect, once there is a conflict, it will become a bloody battle between the Fire Worship Sect and the Tianxu Immortal Sect."
"With the strength of my Fire Worship Sect, it is of course easy to deal with the Ulan Empire. If we can directly deal with the Ulan Kingdom, we can just replace it with a Ulan Emperor. There is no need to use the troops of the Xingnan Kingdom to attack Xingzhou County.
But if we kill their people today, the Tianxu Sect will come to kill them tomorrow. In the battle between the Immortal Sect, what do you think is the chance of my Fire Worshiping Sect winning?"
Master Xu’s face was expressionless.
"The chance of winning is extremely low for the Immortal Sect!"
Xu Wei had to lower his head and said.
In fact, he knows very well that this answer has been exaggerated. It is not that the chance of winning is extremely low, but that there is no chance of winning. How can the Tianxu Immortal Sect, the first of the nine Immortal Sects in Yunzhou, be shaken by the newly emerged small Immortal Sect!
"However, if we want to seize Yanshan Mountain, sooner or later we will have a conflict with the Tianxu Sect! How to control this conflict?"
Xu Wei said doubtfully.
"This is exactly what I have to consider for my father."
Leader Xu said in a deep voice.
"There are only three situations. The most favorable situation for us is that we occupy Xingzhou County with Xingnan Kingdom's troops and horses. Wulan Kingdom is defeated and abandons Xingzhou County. I worship the fire gate and successfully enter Diyan Mountain. Tianxu Gate does not know the ground flames.
The value of the mountain tacitly agrees with this situation."
"The medium situation is that the soldiers and horses of the Fire Worship Sect and the Tianxu Immortal Sect control the secular kingdom, fighting each other, and occupying the Flame Mountain according to the rules set by the nine immortal sects in the world of immortality. In this case, everyone will
You can preserve your strength 1 and don’t have to worry about getting injured in a fight.”
"The worst situation is for the monks from the Fire Worship Sect and the monks from the Tianxu Sect to fight directly. When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured, either us or them. If the Tianxu Sect is injured, they are willing to suffer the loss.
?They have a large number of people, and they keep sending monks over. In the end, it will be my Fire Worship Sect that will be unlucky."
"The Fire Worshipers naturally strive for the most favorable situation. If the most favorable situation fails, they will try for a middle-range situation. Only when they have to, will they consider the worst situation."
Headmaster Xu explained to Xu Wei in detail that if Xu Wei had not been his legitimate son and the future heir of the Fire Worship Sect, he would not have explained so patiently.
"My child understands!"
Xu Wei nodded, cupped his hands and said, "My boy, go and urge the Xingnan army to continue the war and seize Zhennanguan as soon as possible! There are 200,000 Xingnan soldiers and horses here, and we will try to break through the 50,000 Bird Orchid defenders within two days.
Zhennanguan!"
The fighting only stopped for two short hours.
Before dawn, a wave of 30,000 soldiers and horses from Xingnan Kingdom, carrying city climbing ladders, attacked Zhennanguan again like a wave overnight.
The defenders at the head of Zhennanguan were alerted, and the rapid sound of horns immediately sounded. The defenders who were sleeping at the top of the city got up one after another, and fired arrows wildly at the enemy troops rushing up from the city. Arrows rained down like rain, and countless soldiers were on the city.
No one was killed by the arrow.
This bloody battle lasted until dawn.
Ye Chen has been watching the battle at the top of the city.
The Ulan garrison at Zhennanguan is getting smaller and smaller, and the losses are extremely heavy. There are only less than 20,000 troops left. If the battle continues like this, the city will be breached in less than two days.
However, he is not worried. Such losses are within the tolerable range. Xingzhou City's 100,000 troops will be transferred soon.
．
．
At dawn.
Four bright lights of flying swords shot from the sky in the direction of Ulan Kingdom.
Ye Chen noticed something and couldn't help but look towards the sky.
He saw those four rays of light, it was Wang Ying and the other four coming.
In fact, he really didn't want to call Wang Ying and the four of them, but it was too difficult for him to fight against the cultivators of the Fire Worship Sect alone, and he needed a few strong enough helpers. The four of them were the foundation-building monks of the Tianxu Sect closest to him.
They can be summoned.
The four rays of light converged, and the figures of four young male and female monks flew to the top of Zhennanguan.
It was Wang Ying, Xu Ping, Kang Lijun, and Qin Tao, the four Tianxu patrol envoys.
Many soldiers on the top of the city were dumbfounded when they saw the four sword-wielding immortals flying down. However, the enemy's attack was so urgent that they had no time to look at them and fought desperately with the enemy troops who rushed to the top of the city.
"I've met all the senior sisters and brothers!"
Ye Chen bowed his hands to the four of them.
"Junior brother Ye Chen! I received the Wanli telegraph message from you yesterday and came immediately! Is there really a large Earth Flame Mountain Spiritual Land in Xingzhou County?"
Wang Ying, wearing a green shirt and smiling all over, asked impatiently.
She was playing in the imperial capital with Xu Ping, Qin Tao, and Kang Lijun. It had been more than a month since she had seen Ye Chen, and she had almost forgotten about this junior brother who was patrolling the Ulan border so hard. Until Ye Chen gave her Wanli a voice transmission,
Only then did he wake her up and make her remember that there was still business to do.
And what she never expected was that Ye Chen's power transmission brought her great news. A new husband-shaped spiritual land was discovered in Xingzhou County on the border of Niaolan.
Reporting this to the Tianxu Immortal Sect is a huge achievement and will definitely lead to huge merits and rewards.
What made her happiest was that this junior brother did not take the credit alone, but instead told her the information so that she could share part of the credit.
Not only her, Qin Tao, Kang Lijun, Xu Ping and others were also very worried and came all night from the imperial capital. If it was fake, their joy would be in vain.
"Of course it's true. I personally went into Diyan Mountain to investigate, and it's confirmed that it's a large fire-type spirit cave. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to tell Senior Sister Wang Ying about it.
Ye Chen smiled lightly.
Wang Ying couldn't help but be overjoyed, Ye Chen couldn't say nonsense to his face, and he could actually get this credit.
Kang Lijun was a little confused, "Why are you at this pass? Also, these soldiers and horses are fighting, what's going on?" He looked inside and outside the city. Outside the city, he could hardly see the Xingnan military camp, which was very abnormal.
"This mm mouth"
Ye Chen smiled bitterly.
In fact, when he sent the Ten Thousand Miles Transmission Note to Wang Ying, he only said that he had found an Earth Flame Mountain and did not mention anything about the Fire Worship Sect.
He was very worried, if the four of them knew that there were many cultivators from the Fire Worshiping Sect here, they would not dare to come and risk reinforcements, and would just sit back and watch. If the Fire Worshiping Sect had not been mentioned, the four of them would have arrived as soon as possible.
Based on his understanding of Wang Ying, Xu Ping, Qin Tao, Kang Lijun, etc., this kind of thing is completely possible. Wang Ying is proud and willful and dares to take risks. But Qin Tao and Kang Lijun will not. There are advantages and they are very interested.
But if they had to take risks and endure hardships, they were afraid that they would hide away immediately and let Xu Ping accompany her to protect Wang Ying, and would not allow Wang Ying to be involved in danger. If they had known that this trip was dangerous, the four of them might not have come.
Ye Chen told Wang Ying and the four others what he knew about the situation one by one.
From his initial discovery of Diyan Mountain, to the large group of foundation-building monks from the Fire Worshiping Sect's Golden Pill Palm trying to dominate the Diyan Mountain spiritual land, to the Fire Worshiping Sect's control of the Xingnan Kingdom's army to attack Xingzhou County.
As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, the expressions of Wang Ying and the other four people suddenly changed.
"In other words, this Earth Flame Mountain is now occupied by a large group of monks from the Fire Worship Sect!? Then what are we doing here? Isn't this looking for death?"
Qin Tao was startled, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Junior sister Ying, it's not safe here, so we'd better leave as soon as possible! Although the leader asked you to come to Wulan for inspection, he definitely doesn't want to see you at the entrance to the dangerous fire worshiping sect and there are golden elixir monks here. If he kills us, then
It’s a piece of cake!”
Xu Ping looked worried.
"Yes, what use are the five of us Foundation Establishment monks? We are no match for a Golden Core cultivator from the Fire Worship Sect and a group of Foundation Establishment monks! Junior Sister Ying, we retreat immediately and wait until the Golden Core Elder from the Tianxu Sect brings his people.
It’s never too late for us to come again!”
Kang Lijun also said hurriedly at the side. He couldn't wait to leave immediately. What a great benefit this is. It is clearly a big fire pit, and you can't touch it.
"Don't leave! Why should I leave when I have such a great achievement in front of me! My father always said that I can't do anything. This time I will make a great contribution to show him that I can do great things! Ye Chen
Junior brother has been here alone for more than a month and has not left. Why do we five foundation-building monks run away instead? If you want to leave, you go!"
Wang Ying was annoyed and looked at Qin Tao and Kang Lijun with disdain.
She looked at Ye Chen and said, "Junior brother Ye Chen! You summoned the four of us here for no reason, right? If you really couldn't fight, you would have left long ago. You asked the four of us to come here because you wanted to do something.
