Chapter 251: Giant Eagle
Chen Hai temporarily handed over Deng Tong'er and other thief chieftains to Ning Chan'er for moderation, and more than 300 soldiers were assigned to Fan Dachun's elite cavalry, and half were assigned to the horse infantry army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The size of the Ma Bu Army should not continue to expand.
Although there were two or three thousand slaves in Jinxiangling, Chen Hai only selected some craftsmen and four or five hundred people who were still in good health to be assigned to the Mabu army and the baggage camp, and the other slaves were left to stay; the grain, grass, and bulk materials of Jinxiangling were also opened in the storehouse and allowed the slaves and nearby tribes to take them at will.
However, Deng Tong'er and the others were not able to escape, and Jin Xiangling, as a veteran horse thief who had been entrenched in this neighborhood for more than 30 years, naturally fell into the hands of Chen Hai and them all of the precious property, magic weapons, and elixirs accumulated over the years.
Deng Tong'er and other thieves were also dragged down by these belongings.
Although Deng Tong'er is the most important property in the storage ring, everyone also carries thousands of pounds of weight (after losing weight after the storage ring, there are also three or five hundred pounds), and the strength is already one line behind, even if there are more obstacles, they will be under the hands of Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er, and there is no possibility of escape.
In particular, the four Dragon and Tiger Pulse Pills and other mid-level and high-level spirit pills that Deng Tong'er carried with him were useless to Chen Hai, Ning Chan'er, and Fan Dachun, and they were all used as trophies to reward the generals.
Although Chen Hai's nine armor-piercing arrows were smashed in a fierce battle, two thousand catties of Xuanti Essence Iron were seized in the Black Mountain Village, and seven hundred catties of Xuanti Essence Iron were also seized in Jinxiangling.
On the second day after Chen Hai and the others successfully captured the Golden Elephant Mountain, they were about to open for the Demon Moon Lake, when an eagle roared from the far sky, and everyone looked up and saw a black feather scale giant eagle flying from the southeast direction.
The black feather scale eagle, also known as the iron scale eagle, is a more common demon bird in the depths of the desert, but the giant eagle with huge wings spread out is four or five zhang wide is extremely rare, I am afraid that there is a climate of hundreds of years, the scale claw iron beak is like iron, and it is as hard as gold and iron, and the eagle roars like gold and stone strikes, vibrating and cracking the green clouds.
"That's the mount of the big boss!" The leader of the horse thieves who surrendered to Jinxiangling could recognize this iron-scaled giant eagle at a glance, it was actually the spirit bird next to the great boss Desert Demon Slayer Hu Junhu.
The iron-scaled giant eagle originally came to contact Deng Tong'er with a letter, but it had the wisdom of a mortal who was not weak, and the demon pupils were very sharp, and when he saw the situation below, he immediately stopped and hovered above the altitude of 10,000 steps, not flying down.
The altitude of ten thousand zhang has far exceeded the range of the Xuantian Iron Bow, and Ning Chan'er can't kill the Iron Scale Giant Eagle if he destroys the Spirit Sword, and although Xuan Xiu can fly against the wind, even if he is a Dao Dan Realm powerhouse, his flight speed is difficult to compare with this kind of demon bird that is born to soar in the sky and has a climate for hundreds of years.
Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er really wanted to take off to chase after them, but the iron-scaled eagle didn't know where to fly early.
"State Envoy, this Iron Scale Eagle was originally a guardian spirit bird that my Deng Clan's Elite City had raised for four hundred years, and then I took refuge in Jinxiangling, but I asked Hu Junhu to take it away," Deng Tong'er stood up at this time and said, "Please send me up, I may have a way to help the national envoy subdue this spirit eagle and use it for the national envoy." ”
Deng Tong'er wants to resume his cultivation, it is not something that can be achieved in three or five days, at this time, it can only be Chen Hai or Ning Chan'er to help him slowly send him into the sky, and only when Deng Tong'er goes up will he not scare the giant eagle away.
Fan Dachun gave Chen Hai frequent glances, worried that Deng Tong'er would escape with an eagle.
Although Deng Tong'er took the Soul Devouring Pill, he fled to Hu Junhu and Kong Peng, who were cultivating at the peak of the Ming Realm and the Dao Dan Realm, and he may not have the means to eradicate the poisonous evil.
Chen Hai ignored Fan Dachun's warning, pinched the trick with both hands, and several seemingly small wisps of wind rushed out, turning into several wind cables wrapped around Deng Tong'er's waist, and slowly sent them high into the air.
Of course, the wind rope urged by Chen Hai sent Deng Tong'er to the sky at a limit of three or four thousand zhang high.
At this moment, I saw that the iron-scaled giant eagle swooped down suddenly, as fast as a black lightning, waving its huge wings that were as sharp as a soldier made of gold and stone, and easily broke the wind rope at once, and the two huge scale claws grabbed Deng Tong'er and flew into the air.
Fan Dachun was about to complain out loud that Chen Hai didn't believe his reminder, but after a while, he saw that the giant eagle that grabbed Deng Tong'er stopped at a height of ten thousand feet, and did not mean to flee immediately.
The giant eagle hovered and roared in the sky, seemingly full of unwillingness, but after everyone watched in fear for half an hour, the giant eagle finally grabbed Deng Tong'er and flew down slowly.
"Your identity as a fake envoy is really useful!" Ning Chan'er glanced at Chen Hai and pouted.
Fan Dachun and Han Wen all pretended not to hear what Ning Chan'er was saying.
Chen Hai heard Fan Dachun talk about Deng Tong'er's past, and guessed that Deng Tong'er failed to return to the clan many times, and finally was forced to take refuge in Jinxiang Mountain due to the situation, but deep down in his heart, he should not be willing to completely become a horse thief who robbed his house, but Deng's strength in the Pinglu Oasis has been destroyed, and Deng Tong'er still wants to restore the rule of Jingjue City, so he can only rely on external forces.
At present, it seems that Deng Tong'er still believes that they have the ability to help him regain the Jingjue City from the Ye clan of the Xiqiang Kingdom, even if Kong Peng's thieves are all plotting to subvert the Ye clan of the Xiqiang royal clan at this time, but Deng Tong'er is alone and has been seriously injured, even if he can escape to Kong Peng and other thieves, it is impossible to receive much attention, who will hand over the Jingjue City to him who is alone.
If Deng Tong'er wants to restore his rule over the Elite City, he can't leave behind the combat power of his descendants who have been captured by Chen Li, and Chen Li's identity can also be used cheaply - even if Deng Tong'er knows that Chen Hai's identity may not be true, sometimes it only takes a name to act.
"Lingying is willing to serve the envoy, and I hope that the envoy will treat him well. Deng Tong'er came over and said to Chen Hai.
The giant eagle stands with its wings folded, it is also nearly two zhang high, its scale claws are thicker than the elephant's legs, it is deep and black, like a golden stone, and its sharpness is comparable to that of a high-grade Xuan soldier. Its demon pupils stared at Chen Hai sharply, although it flew down and wanted to descend to this side with Deng Tong'er, but it still had the arrogance of being a big demon.
"Of course, I will make Lingying the captain of the Eagle at this time, and the generals will regard him as a colleague, and no one will have the slightest neglect......" Chen Hai bowed his hand to the giant eagle.
A small group of horse thieves are in danger, and they simply have the ability and patience to domesticate spirit birds, and the eastern part of Jinzhou was swept by the conscription horses of Dayanxi twenty years ago, and a large number of spirit birds were killed in battle, and it took a lot of time to re-domesticate. Even in the Xiqiang Army, at this time, even if it is a low-level spirit bird at the level of a black-feathered giant vulture, there are only more than a hundred heads, like the iron-scaled giant eagle, a medium-to-high-level spirit bird that has a climate of three or four hundred years and can be domesticated or fed by the human race, although it is not as good as the blue-scaled thunder eagle beside Chen Lie, but whether it is in the hands of horse thieves or in the Xiqiang Kingdom, it is extremely rare.
Although the cultivation is above the Soul Clearing Realm, he can fly against the wind and even fly with the imperial weapon (imperial sword), but even if the powerhouse of the Ming Realm can borrow the Heaven and Earth Yuan Breath, the speed and persistence of the volley flight cannot be compared with the spirit bird that is born to soar in the sky.
If this giant eagle had flown to Jinxiangling two days earlier, Deng Tong'er and more than a dozen horse thief leaders would have flown away in the sky on the giant eagle, and Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er would not have had a chance to intercept them.
Therefore, being able to subdue this giant eagle is, to a certain extent, even much more useful than Deng Tong'er's sincere and happy submission, so that Chen Hai can at least monitor the movements of Yequ Mountain and the Xiqiang Kingdom at this time, and will not completely attack all the way to the northern edge of the Xiqiang Kingdom.
And this giant eagle was originally sent by Hu Junhu, the leader of Jinxiangling, to contact Deng Tong'er and other leaders, and the letter it carried carried the latest movements of the Xishan Coalition Army.
Chen Haizhan sealed the secret letter in the thin copper pipe, only to know that Ye Qinglin, the captain of the southern army of the Xiqiang Kingdom, one of the core figures of the Ye royal family, and the younger brother of the country lord Ye Chentian, led 20,000 elite horses out of the Pinglu Oasis half a month ago, that is, shortly after their raid on the Black Mountain Village, and galloped to Yequ Mountain to rescue the county lord of Yuecheng.
Ye Qinglin led his troops to Yequ Mountain, and Zhumakou dispersed in a hurry, but the 20,000 cavalry of the Xiqiang State welcomed Dong Ning back to Pinglu Dalvzhou, and encountered an ambush by Zhukou when crossing the Songyang River.
When Chen Hai first rushed to Songyang Lake with the soldiers and horses of Yequ Mountain to unite with Zhukou, there were only 10,000 thieves gathered at Songyang Lake at that time, but when the southern army of Xiqiang was ambushed at Songyang River, another horse thief galloped from the western region of Xiqiang to reinforce him, increasing the size of the thief army to more than 20,000.
Although the leader of Jinxiangling did not specify in the letter which mountain the horse thieves came from in the future, even if the 100,000 miles of Jinzhou desert are counted, there are only a handful of horse thieves with tens of thousands of soldiers, and Chen Hai speculates that this horse thief is very likely to be played by the soldiers and horses of the Tibetan and Qiang countries. After all, the last thing that wants to see the marriage between the Xiqiang State and the Hexi Dong clan is mainly to use the Xiqiang State as a springboard to attack the Tibetan Qiang State in Hexi.
The 20,000 cavalry of the Western Qiang State was attacked at the Songyang River, and suffered a great defeat in a hurry; because the passage to the Xigui Pinglu Oasis was blocked, thousands of remnants of the army were forced to escort the chariots and horses sent to the west of the river to retreat eastward again, and retreat to the Crescent Lake Oasis to wait for reinforcements.
It may be that the horse thieves are accustomed to fighting sneak raids and are not accustomed to fighting tough battles, and they have not been able to eat all the remnants of the Xiqiang reinforcements, or it may be that in order to further lure the soldiers and horses of the Xiqiang State out of the Pinglu Oasis, the Zhukou coalition troops did not rush to attack the remnants of the Xiqiang reinforcements - this is not stated by Hu Junhu in the letter.
In addition, a very important piece of news is that Zhu Kou has no intention of dividing his troops into the depths of the vast desert to pursue the soldiers and horses of Yequ Mountain, and the soldiers and horses of Yequ Mountain are also much stronger than they imagined.
Hu Junhu wrote this letter to ask Deng Tong'er to break through and rush to Moyue Lake to join up with other thieves, but he didn't expect that Deng Tong'er had no intention of sticking to Jinxiangling, and finally fell into Chen Hai's hands along with the letter and the spirit eagle.
