Chapter 544: The Great Mastermind
The inner court sent Guo Sheng to lead 100,000 elites to attack Guining City, naturally they had the "perfect certainty" they believed, and even did not hesitate to directly cede Qintong Xiguan to Hexi, and completely betrayed the foreign feudal clan forces that Tianshui County and Qinchuan County could have won to Hexi, that is, to exchange Hexi to send troops to completely contain the main force of the Longxiang army to the west of Qintong Mountain, and there was no way to quickly transfer it into Gyeonggi by means of the wind and flame airship.
The speed of Chen Hai's cultivation has been reduced for thousands of years, only under Wei Ziya, and there are few people in the world who can compare with the ability of soldiers, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and Guo Sheng will never believe that in the case that the main force of the Longxiang army cannot advance eastward, Chen Hai can make a splash in Gyeonggi.
When Guo Sheng saw the thunderclouds rolling overhead, and in the thunderclouds, the purple lightning and thunder light swam away like dragons and snakes, and his whole body froze there.
How is this possible?
How is this possible?
Chen Xuanzhen and Zhao Chengjiao also stood there like ice sculptures, how could there be a second Tiangang Thunder Prison Array in the world? Before they sent out their troops, they confirmed that the remnants of the Tiangang Thunder Prison that had been dismantled by Gong Liang from Qintong Pass were deployed in the Juquanling Tianji Academy Palace at this time!
However, no matter what, in the face of the endless purple lightning and thunder light, all the previous sure speculations were in vain, and it was still fundamental to think about how to save your life!
Guo Sheng is the main general, but in order to prevent Chen Hai from having too many strong people around him, Chen Xuanzhen, Zhao Chengjiao, and the two purple-clothed sword attendants who have just cultivated the Dao Dan came over to help Guo Sheng, and they also stood on top of the Xuanlong Battle Clan.
To be honest, Chen Xuanzhen and Zhao Chengjiao didn't think that this time they could kill Chen Hai himself in Fenglindu, after all, Chen Hai had five Dao Dan and one Dao Fetal Realm peak by his side, unless Wei Shi personally rushed to sit in the town, and transferred more soldiers and horses to come over to conquest, he would be completely sure.
They are also looking forward to driving Chen Hai away, and after eradicating the remnants of the Longxiang Army in Gyeonggi, it is imperative to calmly clean up the forces of the Gyeonggi Sect Lords and the Xiyuan Army.
And even if Chen Hai is allowed to rob the Marquis of Ning, in the current situation, it is only a trouble in Hexi, and it can still contain Hexi.
At this time, Chen Xuanzhen and Zhao Chengjiao didn't know if Wei Shi had any tricks to deal with Chen Hai, but they knew that they couldn't escape today, and all the yang conspiracies would be empty for them.
They knew that no matter how strong the Tiangang Thunder Prison Array was, it would be impossible to split all the 100,000 elites into ashes, but even under a single bombardment, only twenty percent of the generals would die, and the remaining generals would also collapse.
What's even more desperate is that the Yao clan sent troops in Qiupu Village.
Although Chen Xuanzhen and Zhao Chengjiao couldn't see that the flag erected by the Qiupu Walled City Tower had been replaced due to the limited field of vision, and they didn't know that Yao Wenjin had "come back from the dead", but Qiupu Village suddenly sent troops at this time, and it was impossible for them not to understand what it meant.
Chen Hai betrayed the Yao clan, and the two sides served their own masters, and they had already joined forces?
Miscalculation, miscalculation, miscalculation!
Chen Xuanzhen and Zhao Chengjiao were full of frustration after being frustrated!
At this moment, because of the collapse of the morale of the army, the blood-colored war dragon formed by the killing spirit condensed by the Xuanlong War Wheel also disappeared invisibly.
This is the disadvantage of the Xuanlong Chariot, there is no killing force to use, it is just an ordinary heaven-rank chariot, not stronger than any heaven-level magic weapon.
Even so, Chen Xuanzhen and Zhao Chengjiao also knew that they could not escape at this time, even if there were already generals and sword attendants in the north and south wings who fled in a panic, but it was not the time for them to escape.
As soon as they fled, the army was immediately defeated, and Chen Hai didn't even need to finally launch the Tiangang Thunder Prison Array, he could directly send elite masters out to hunt them down.
They rode the Xuanlong Battle Array, which was originally at the back of the battle array on the east wing, as long as they waited until the Tiangang Thunder Hell Array was completely activated, and the world-destroying purgatory-like thunder waterfalls formed between them and Guining City, the best time to escape was to form a god and demon Mo Du Tianxin.
In this way, they can buy dozens of breaths more time for their escape.
For ordinary generals, dozens of breaths can only run one or two miles, but they can escape thirty or fifty miles away in the time of dozens of breaths, and even if the demon Jiao chases after them, as long as they are not entangled by the elite combat power of the Long Xiang army, they can still fight and retreat, and return to Yanjing City safely.
Chen Xuanzhen looked at Zhao Chengjiao, and Zhao Chengjiao looked at Chen Xuanzhen, both of them had already cultivated the defensive magic weapon, and at the same time pinched a number of Heavenly Rank Dao Talismans in their hands, they didn't need to communicate with their gods, and they both knew what the most correct choice was.
However, at this moment, the thunderclouds above their heads rolled up like thick ink, and countless purple lightning thunderbolts were sucked into the interior of the thunderclouds, and they could no longer be seen, and the next moment the thunderclouds opened their huge mouths like a barbaric giant beast with a volume of tens of miles, and spit out a purple lightning thunderball the size of a hundred zhang, directly enveloping the Xuanlong battle chariot they were standing.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xuanzhen's hands and feet were cold, and he watched the purple lightning thunderball get closer and closer in despair, and the incomparably powerful aura still shocked him so much that he even trembled.
Chen Xuanzhen understood at this moment that it was the 10,000-year-old demon Jiao who personally controlled the Tiangang Thunder Prison Array, so the attack form of the Tiangang Thunder Prison Array was no longer what they had thought before, and it would only cover a specific battlefield with a thunder waterfall that did not distinguish between the enemy and me.
Chen Xuanzhen glanced at the top of the Lone Blade Peak, and he found that Chen Hai was not in the city, but standing at the top of the Lone Blade Peak, as if he was whispering something to the demon Jiao who was flying through the clouds, and at the same time pointed to this side, as if the demon Jiao was not going to destroy the Xuanlong battle chariot under their feet.
No matter what Chen Xuanzhen thought in his heart, Guo Sheng, Zhao Chengjiao and the others threw the Heavenly Rank Dao Talisman in their hands towards the purple lightning thunderball at this time, and at the same time, their bodies turned into rainbow lights and shot in all directions.
Chen Xuanzhen wanted to remind him too late, more than a dozen of the top Heavenly Rank Dao Talismans in this realm, whether they were turned into shields, shields, or sword icebergs, all of them were swallowed or crushed by the Purple Lightning Thunderball, only making the Purple Lightning Thunderball shrink by less than one-fifth.
At this moment, the purple lightning thunderball did not directly blast towards the Xuanlong Battle Ring, but split and turned into hundreds of purple thunder pillars, each with the thickness of a water tank, and blasted out in all directions.
Chen Xuanzhen watched Guo Sheng, Zhao Chengjiao, and the two Dao Dan Realm purple-clothed sword attendants being hit by several purple thunder pillars at the same time, turning into charred corpses in an instant, and falling from the air, the defensive magic weapons they carried with them were all blasted into ashes without exception, and at the same time, dozens of Xuanyi sword attendants and Guo Sheng's followers who fled with Guo Sheng and Zhao Chengjiao abandoned the Xuanlong War in a hurry, as well as Guo Sheng's followers.
Such a precise killing can only mean one thing, that is, in the Purple Thunder Pillar split from the Purple Lightning Thunder Ball, each one is attached to the divine soul aura of the 10,000-year-old demon Jiao.
Yes!
Chen Xuanzhen fled calmly from Lone Blade Peak with Wei Ziya for more than ten days, thinking that this 10,000-year-old demon Jiao could only rely on his demon body to resist the enemy, no matter how high his realm was, his strength could only be on a par with Dong Liang and Miao Fengshan.
At this moment, Chen Xuanzhen knew that he was wrong, very wrong.
This demon Jiao is the guardian spirit beast of this Tiangang Thunder Prison Array! In other words, this Tiangang Thunder Prison Array is the natal magic weapon of this demon Jiao!
How is this possible?
How could this 10,000-year-old demon Jiao be the guardian spirit beast of which mountain gate?
There are hundreds of sects in Yanzhou, Chen Xuanzhen has never heard of any sect that has such a powerful guardian spirit beast, even the Dao Zen Academy, where the ancient Taoist system is located, has never had such a powerful guardian spirit beast.
Daozen Temple, that's right!
Taoist Temple.
In the past, the world thought that the only remaining Tiangang Thunder Prison Array was the mountain protection array of the Dao Zen Temple, after the Dao Zen Temple was broken by the 800,000 Tiger Ben Army, it fell into the hands of Yan Ting, deployed in Qintong Pass, and then was taken away by Gong Liang with a trick, and finally attached to Chen Hai with the remnants of the Black Yan Army, and after falling into Chen Hai, it was deployed in the Tianji Academy Palace at this time.
What does this second Tiangang Thunder Prison Array that came out of Chen Hai's hand have to do with the Dao Zen Academy?
Or Chen Hai, or the root of all this, what is the connection with the Taoist Zen Academy?
Chen Xuanzhen stood on top of the Xuanlong Battle Wheel like an ice sculpture, watching the thundercloud swallow a purple lightning thunderball with a radius of 100 zhang again, at this time he had forgotten to resist and escape, he knew that it was useless for him to run away and resist, and it would be his turn to be wiped out in the next moment.
All these years of hard work, all these years of sourness, all these years of forbearance and unwillingness, this moment just turned into a light sigh, and gently spit out from Chen Xuanzhen's mouth, even if he saw the 10,000-year-old demon Jiao, and Chen Hai flew directly to this side, Chen Xuanzhen was like an ice sculpture, motionless.
"Chen Zhenren, I haven't seen you for a few days!" Chen Hai stood on the Xuanlong battle chariot and arched his hand towards Chen Xuanzhen.
Qi Hanjiang, who came with Chen Hai, was not so polite, and when he came over, he took the spirit sword and Dao talisman in Chen Xuanzhen's hand and sealed it in the storage ring, and then reached out to touch Chen Xuanzhen's body, and he was unwilling not to search all the Dao talismans and magic weapons hidden in his body.
Chen Hai motioned to Qi Hanjiang not to be rude.
Chen Xuanzhen was not happy because Chen Hai was not in a hurry to kill, nor did he feel that Chen Hai and a few people and a 10,000-year-old demon Jiao had just entered the battlefield and had any chance, so he asked sadly: "Master Wei and I crossed the Fenglin Crossing, you only need to entangle Master Wei for a few breaths, and then you have a chance to kill Master Wei, why don't you make a move, is it just to earn these 100,000 remnants?"
At this time, Chen Xuanzhen had already seen the Yao clan's soldiers and horses begin to spread out to the two wings, and it was clear that he wanted to take advantage of their rout to completely surround the 100,000 Su guards who were attacking Guining City.
However, Chen Xuanzhen was puzzled, at that time, when Master Wei brought Fenglin to assassinate Chen Hai on a whim, Chen Hai had the opportunity to ambush them with the Tiangang Thunder Prison Array.
In that case, the inner court will immediately fall into a desperate situation without a leader.
He didn't understand why Chen Hai didn't do that.
It was precisely because of this that they concluded that Chen Hai could never have any killer features in Guining City!!
After all, Chen Hai recognized the identity of Wei Shi at that time, what other goal in the inner court could be more important than Wei Shi?
"What good can it do to kill Wei Ziya at that time," Chen Hai smiled and asked, "Don't say that I am not 100% sure of killing Wei Ziya, even if I kill him, what will happen after that?" Zhao Zhong, Zhao Chengjiao, Guo Sheng, and you and others led their troops to join Hexi, not only making Qintong's east and west passes fall into the hands of Hexi, but also introducing the Hexi Iron Cavalry directly into Gyeonggi, while Yu Zonghu will most likely make peace with the crown prince Yingdan, and when the Tiger Ben army returns to Gyeonggi from the east, the world will not fall into more complete chaos, what good will it do me?"
"Although the situation is chaotic, isn't it more likely for you to win the world?" Chen Xuanzhen asked, "At this time, you wiped out the elite of the 100,000 Su Guards, and your hole cards were exposed, do you really think that Master Wei, who has 500,000 male divisions, has no way to take you?"
"As you said, with these 100,000 remnants, you can finally get back some disadvantages," Chen Hai pouted and said, "If you still want to see how the situation in the world evolves, then don't mind if I ban your cultivation......"
Chen Xuan really lowered the sleeves of his robe with great interest, signaling Chen Hai to do whatever he wanted to him, it was a fluke to be able to not die, if he could still witness the subsequent evolution of the situation, what else could he beg for?
Chen Xuanzhen handed over the storage ring, and let Chen Hai condense twelve needle-shaped true flames with pure yang true fire and pierce them into his Linghai Secret Palace, his Linghai Secret Palace, which was full of majestic true yuan and natal Dao pills, suddenly seemed to disappear, and was no longer sensed by his sea of consciousness.
Chen Hai did not let Qi Hanjiang drive Chen Xuanzhen off the Xuanlong Battle Rim, but left him on the Battle Rim and continued to watch the development of the subsequent battle situation.
It was also at this time that Chen Xuanzhen especially felt that the 10,000-year-old Jiao engraved on the top of their heads was huge, like a lone blade peak across their heads.
Under the deterrence of the Tiangang Purple Lightning Thunderball, although the elite of the 100,000 Su Guards only lost their lives at this moment, Guo Sheng, Zhao Chengjiao and more than 100 others, although Chen Hai and Cang Yi only stood in the depths of the battlefield outside Guining City, but none of them dared to rush towards the Xuanlong Battle Ring.
The middle and high-level generals of the Su Guard Army, who are directly controlled by the inner court, or even directly from the sword servant or the inner court, when the Tiangang Thunder Prison Array showed obvious signs, they fled to Yanjing City in a panic, their speed is extremely fast, whether it is flying against the wind, flying with the imperial weapon or driving the spirit beast battle horse, they are all dead, a dozen breaths can reach a mile or two or even farther away, at this time they have already escaped from the core attack range of the Tiangang Thunder Prison Array, but the discarded grassroots generals spread their legs and run, or ride an ordinary war horse, how fast can they run?
Yao's six teams of green and cunning iron cavalry, all of them are thousands of people, the first three teams to outflank from the south side, the three teams cross the river from the ice, and outflank from the north flank, the speed is unimaginably fast, they do not chase and kill those middle and high-level generals and descendants of the Su Guard who fled in a panic, but cut in from the gap between these middle and high-level generals and descendants and other routs, and block the rout to continue to escape to the periphery, almost forming a situation of encirclement, Chen Hai let the cangyi disperse the thunderclouds in the sky.
No longer threatened by the thunder in the sky, except for a few routs who have been frightened or completely dizzy, most of the routs see that there is no worry about their lives, and the generals of the Longxiang army shouted for them to disarm and surrender, and they gradually quieted down, and in turn, they were driven by the generals of the Longxiang army and moved in the direction of Qiupu Village.
The thugs who have been training in the inner court for ten years have fallen into Chen Hai's bag like this?
Chen Xuanzhen looked at everything in front of him dumbfounded, he knew that Chen Hai would not let go of these routs, but this was too easy, right?
At the beginning, in order to avoid the Su Guard army being controlled by the clan lord as much as possible, the grassroots generals selected by the inner court were all from the children of the Han family and the yeoman farmers, and the generals of Guo Sheng's department were all requisitioned from Jingxi and Qintongshan Yizhong Mansion and Tongbei Mansion.
This means that Chen Hai does not need to transfer troops from Hengshan, there are already 150,000 soldiers and horses available in Gyeonggi, unless the inner court can not hesitate, before Chen Hai can absorb these routs, directly press the main force of the Tiger Roar Battalion, and capture Guining City, Qiupu Village and Yao's old nest Yuting City in one fell swoop!
However, at this time, the Yao clan deployed the Eight Pole Lock Dragon Array in Qiupu Village, and Chen Hai deployed the Tiangang Thunder Prison Array in Guining City, which was fifteen miles apart, even if the main force of the Tiger Roar Battalion could finally capture Guining City and Qiupu Village, how many casualties would there be?
Can the Inner Court sustain the halving casualties of the Tiger Roar Battalion?
You must know that after the death of King Ying, Tu Que and others supported the king of Wei, the morale of the Xiyuan Army was extremely low, and the internal problems were huge, but the scale of the soldiers and horses of the Xiyuan Army has been increasing these days, and it has exceeded 500,000 at this time.
In particular, if the Su Guards were frustrated by Guinyeongseong, what impact would it have on the Gyeonggi Sect Lords and the Seokwon Army?
Chen Xuanzhen didn't think that the Xiyuan Army would quickly condense into an iron fist, but he would never panic again, if the Su Guard Army lost another 100,000 to 150,000 soldiers and horses in order to capture Guining City and Qiupu Village, the final victory would probably still fall into the pocket of the Xiyuan Army.
What's more, in addition to the 100,000 soldiers, Guo Sheng sent troops this time, and the large number of equipment and materials he carried, including hundreds of heavenly machine crossbows and more than 200,000 gold-quenched heavy arrows, did not play a role, and they all fell into the hands of Chen Hai.
Chen Xuanzhen secretly thought about this battle, and his intuition was a pity, if he used troops step by step according to the usual tactics, and advanced step by step with the formation of fortresses and siege equipment, even if it was difficult to capture Guining City, which was guarded by the Tiangang Thunder Prison Formation, even if there would be a loss of thousands or even 10,000 or 20,000 people, it would never be like this, and 100,000 elites would be buried at once.
And the reason why Guo Sheng and the others are more inclined to do their best to conquer Guining City in one fell swoop is that in the final analysis, they are still worried that after a long time, there will be any changes on the side of Wusheng Pass.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuanzhen just sighed bitterly, who would have expected that Chen Hai would have the second Tiangang Thunder Prison Array in his hands?
The relics turned into a human form, and fell on top of the Xuanlong Battle Ring, so he sat cross-legged, and at the critical moment, he first had to refine the divine soul breath attached to the formation prohibition within the Xuanlong Battle Circle, but only by re-refining could it come in handy in the next wave of war.
Yao Izumo and Yao Wenjin were also surrounded by a team of guards at this time, and rushed over to join Chen Hai.
Yao Wenjin had recovered his true face at this time For Yao Wenjin, whose cultivation has recovered to the peak of the Ming Realm, it is really easy to heal the scars on his face, and it is not a severed limb and body that flew up to the Xuanlong War Chariot and arched his hand towards Chen Xuanzhen: "Chen Zhenren hasn't seen him for a long time, I really didn't expect you to assassinate the King of England." ”
"......" Chen Xuanzhen saw Yao Wenjin jumping around, and he was even more like being struck by lightning, and looked at Yao Izumo with wide eyes.
At this time, everything was understood, but he was still in a dream, and he couldn't believe that it was Yao's plot from beginning to end!
Yao Izumo is the mastermind behind the scenes?
Seeing Chen Xuanzhen's dead fish face suddenly became wonderful after seeing Wen Jin, Yao Izumo knew what he was thinking in his heart, in fact, everyone who saw Yao Wenjin still alive at this time showed a shocked look of admiration to death for Yao Izumo.
Yao Izuyun had indescribable satisfaction in his heart, but there was also indescribable complexity, and he couldn't explain to Chen Xuanzhen that Lao Tzu was also forced to Liangshan by Chen Hai, the grandson.
Just as Chen Hai said, even if he explains, who will believe it?
