(It's the weekend, take a break, just a chapter)

The prefectures and counties are equipped with a small amount of local armament, because the weapons are mainly ordinary knives and bows, mainly to maintain local security. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the law drafted by the Dadu Protector General's Mansion, the local military equipment of the Jade Dragon Mansion always has an establishment of 2,000 soldiers. The soldiers and horses of the prefecture and county are all selected by military attaches and veterans who have retired from the Wuwei Army. If Ge Tong, Shen Kun and others make new breakthroughs in their cultivation, they can go to the prefecture and county to serve as soldiers and horses captains and rectify local armaments, which is also quite a good fat shortage.

Although the soldiers and horses of the prefecture and county are served by the retired military attachés and veterans of the Wuwei Army, and their cultivation will not be too weak, the archers below can only recruit Wu Yong from the locality, and they are uneven.

After the large-scale civil unrest in the Jade Dragon Mansion, the government army also transferred people from the small and medium-sized clans to replenish the armament, and once expanded to more than 5,000 people to enter the Jade Dragon Mountain, but returned with a disastrous defeat, and the soldiers and horses of the Jade Dragon Mansion were masters who cultivated to the late stage of the Spirit Restoration Realm, and finally only led more than 100 people to flee back to the Jade Dragon Mansion City.

After this fiasco, the few remaining more than 1,000 soldiers in the local armament only dared to stay in the Jade Dragon Mansion City and wait for reinforcements to come.

Although there are still more than 1,000 soldiers in the Jade Dragon Mansion Army, they are uneven, and they cannot be compared with Chen Hai and their sect soldiers.

Not to mention the cultivation of the vast majority of the inner disciples who have stepped into the Soul Clearing Realm, the thousand Dao soldiers who have been transferred from the three Taoist academies, the vast majority of their cultivation is also above the Transcendence Realm.

In terms of individual force alone, only the elite soldiers of the Daoist army of the General's Mansion can be compared with this sect and Taoist soldiers.

It was also because of this that after Chen Hai entered the Jade Dragon Mansion City with the crowd, not only the Daoist disciples themselves were proud, but the officials in the city also had strong confidence and expectations for them. In addition to vacating half of the alleys as barracks for the Chinese army and the left and right guards to settle in, a large number of beef and mutton were also sent to reward the army.

Ge Tong and Shen Kun went to the big tent to participate in the military meeting, and after they returned, Chen Hai learned that they would work with the army of Yulong City to drive to the foot of the northern slope of Yulong Mountain, and then enter the mountains to clear out the chaotic people.

************************

There are more than 1,000 soldiers in the Jade Dragon Mansion, plus more than 2,000 strong men and more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, but there are only a small number of horses.

The Chinese army, composed of inner disciples, did not want to go with the slow-moving local armed troops and horses of Yulong Mansion, so they took the right guard army to march ahead of schedule the next day, leaving the left guard army to go with the mixed formation of soldiers and horses of Yulong Mansion.

It is a distance of 200 miles from the city of Yulongfu to the foot of the northern slope of Yulong Mountain, with large hills and valleys in the middle, and there are two county towns and villages dotted around, but most of them have been destroyed by the rebels; several walled cities close to the northern slope of the Yulong Mountain are still in the hands of the rebels.

Walking with the uneven local armed forces and horses of Yulong Mansion, Chen Hai and them dragged on until the night of the fifth day, and then rushed to Chenqiao Village at the foot of the northern slope of Yulong Mountain and stationed down.

Chenqiao Village was originally built by the villagers of Shanyin County, located on the north bank of a river, the village is not big, there are only more than 100 houses in it, but the wall of Shiche is five or six meters high.

Surrounded by the river and mountains, the terrain is quite dangerous, which shows that the villagers who lived here before were quite powerful in Yulong Mansion.

The north side of the walled wall was blasted open two large gaps of more than ten meters, I don't know if it was caused by the master of the Mingqi Realm personally casting the mystical method, the scattered residual stones, as small as corn, obviously not ordinary disciples of the Spirit Clearing Realm can do; the remaining stone wall was splashed with several layers of bloodstains, it can be seen that there have been several fierce bloody battles here.

There are also many broken arrows deeply inserted into the stone wall, which shows how terrifying the strength of the bow shooter is; there are also some simple bamboo and wooden arrows scattered inside and outside the wall, presumably when the chaotic people are guarding the village.

There is a stone bridge in front of the wall, cross the river through the stone bridge, even if it is officially entering the Yulong Mountain, there is a deep stone gorge leading to the hinterland of the Yulong Mountain, the peaks on both sides of the stone gorge are steep, the cliff is steep, it is difficult to climb.

After the Chinese army and the Right Guard Army arrived at Chenqiao Village, they also went to the mountain three days to pursue and suppress the rebellious people, and the order left behind was to ask the soldiers and horses of Yulong Mansion to hold Chenqiao Village and block the entrance of the rebellious people from this stone gorge, while the Left Guard Army left their horses in Chenqiao Village, and then lightly loaded into the mountain, and rushed over to join the Chinese Army and the Right Guard Army to find and annihilate the rebellious people.

Entering the stone gorge in the hinterland of Yulong Mountain, the terrain can only be said to be relatively easy, but there is no ready-made road, and there is only a spirit horse of this level, which can pass quickly, Chen Hai and the ordinary mounts they led out of the Taoist courtyard have no way to enter the mountain to fight, so they can only stay in Chenqiao Village.

Different from the Taiwei Mountain Range, which is deep and dense and full of spiritual energy, Yulong Mountain stretches for more than 1,000 miles, but it is mostly barren mountains and stone ridges, and not much sparse grass and trees have also withered because of the drought that has lasted for several years.

The river in front of Chenqiao Village also exposed a dry and cracked riverbed.

There were two or three hundred corpses lying horizontally and vertically, ragged and skinny, all of them should be the chaotic people who had occupied Chen Qiaohan before and were annihilated by the disciples of the former military and Taoist soldiers.

On the riverbed and along the river, there are also some stone axes, bamboo spears, bamboo spears, and bamboo bows scattered all over the place, which should be abandoned by the chaotic people, and the previous Zongmen Dao soldiers disdained to pick up these simple weapons.

"Senior Brother Shen, is it possible that the former army took Chenqiao Village so easily, is it possible that the chaotic people lured the enemy?" Chen Hai squatted in front of the riverbank, looked at the corpses on the riverbed, and asked Shen Kun in confusion.

"Hmph!" Chen Qing, who was looking at Jade Dragon Mountain from a hundred steps away, heard a contemptuous cold snort at this time, obviously so far away, she still listened to the whispered conversation between Chen Hai and Shen Kun in her ears.

Shen Kun had been with Chen Hai for so long, and he knew what he was worried about when he asked this, so he could only shrug his shoulders and smile at this time.

**********************

The next morning, the vulture raised by Li Xianghai spread its wings from Chenqiao Village and flew into the blue sky, staring sharply at the grass and trees within a radius of 100 miles.

With this vulture, the Left Guard didn't even have to send out scouts and sentinels, and the communication with the Central Army, the Right Guard and the Front Army was also extremely convenient.

This vulture, which had been tamed by Li Xianghai for several years, had to eat at least two fat sheep a day in addition to the elixir that strengthened its muscles and bones.

This vulture stood on the ground taller than a calf, its iron feathers were like arrows, its claws were as strong as iron, and it exuded a cold glow, which could crush the hundred-year-old poplar wood in an instant.

This fierce spirit vulture, although it can't be compared to the blue-scaled thunder eagle of the Splashing Cloud Cliff, is also envious of the eyes of countless Dao disciples.

Chen Hai and the other three hundred Dao disciples, then led by Li Xianghai and three inner disciples, Chen Qing, Xie Wenzhuo, and Lu Hongqian, entered Shixia and marched to the hinterland of Yulong Mountain.

Along the way, there was good news that the former army had attacked the camp and pulled out the village, Chen Qing, Xie Wenzhuo, and Lu Hongqian were all worried that the credit would be snatched away by others, and they only reaped the benefits of the end when they were left behind, and they urged the Left Guard generals to speed up their advance all the way.

Fortunately, the front army opened the way, and the left guard army did not worry about being disturbed, and two days later caught up with the middle army and the right guard army, and stationed in a simple stone village.

More than 1,000 soldiers went all the way to Yulong Mountain for more than 200 miles, and seven or eight bandit villages had already been conquered and burned together with the corpses of the annihilated rebels to avoid being used again.

The defense of these seven or eight chaotic people and bandit villages is even more rudimentary than that of Chenqiao Village, and the former army annihilated them were all some skinny old and weak people. Although the other generals were all arrogant, they all felt that if they went all the way, they would be able to wipe out the hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Yulong Mountain, but they were worried that their marching speed was too slow and they would not be able to take much credit, and Chen Hai became more and more worried in his heart.

If the chaotic people had gotten the news one step earlier, feared the strength of the Daoist soldiers of the sect, and moved the main force to the depths of Yulong Mountain, there would have been no need to leave hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled people to guard the outlying stockades; just three or four months ago, more than 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Yulong Mansion army had been defeated when they entered Yulong Mountain, and a large number of soldiers and armor should have been captured.

In addition, although the Daoist soldiers of the sect conquered nearly 10 bandit villages one after another, they destroyed less than 2,000 enemies, and they were far from being able to hurt the bones of the chaotic people; more importantly, the chaotic people had previously defeated the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Yulong City Army, almost completely annihilated, and they did not look like a rabble.

Of course, Shen Kun and Ge Tong could listen to Chen Hai's worries and doubts, but when it came to Qi Siyu, the captain of the Hundred Martial Schools, they only regarded Chen Hai's doubts as a joke.

***************************

On a stone cliff that was only a few days away from the Taoist soldiers entering the stone village, there were people whose heads and faces were shrouded in black robes, and they didn't feel the heat at all, only two eyes were exposed, staring at the village more than ten miles away.

There was no dense shrub on the stone cliff, but the strange thing was that the three spirit birds flying above and monitoring the left and right did not notice the existence of these two black-robed people.

"Lord Sacrificial Wine is really a clever plan, these sect Dao soldiers are so arrogant that they didn't even notice it, so they got into the pocket array set up by Lord Sacrificial Wine, we should be able to do a big job this time......" A black-robed man lowered his voice and whispered.

"Unlike those corrupt sects and Hou clans in the mainland, Wuwei Shenhou Dong Liang has governed the border Wende and martial arts over the years, which should not be underestimated, and the Taiwei Sect has not completely degenerated. The beginning of the Divine Religion does not allow us to slack off in the slightest. We have mixed the anti-spirit scatter given by the Lord of Sacrificial Wine into the earth spring that these Taoist soldiers drink, it is already a great achievement, and the rest of the matter will be left to the righteous army gathered in Huanglongyuan to solve......" The black-robed man warned his companion not to make any extraneous branches, turned around like a sparrow, and slid silently into the ravine behind the stone cliff.

The ravine behind the stone cliff was originally a stone stream, but in the severe drought season, there was no flowing water for a long time, revealing the rocky beach on the riverbed.

There was a slender iron pipe in a pile of pebbles that was extremely inconspicuous, and a black-robed man squatted over, listened to the sound of gurgling water from the iron pipe, took out a black clay bottle from his arms, and poured the whole bottle of slightly fishy medicine into it.

Shixi is actually connected to the underground spring of Shizhai, the black-robed people have long expected that the main force of the Daoist soldiers of the Taiwei Sect to suppress the Jade Dragon Mountain, after conquering several villages in a row, it is very likely that they will choose to rest in this Shizhai, they only need to mix the elixir of the Reverse Chaos Xuanxiu Linghai Zhenyuan into the drinking water source of the Daoist disciples through the hidden waterway that connects Shixi and the earth......

The two black-robed men did all this, and fled into the distance like ghosts along the stone stream, and the three-headed spirit birds flying high in the air were never able to catch their figures.
