Chapter XXXVIII
Chen Hai told Shen Kun and Ge Tong about the doubts in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Shen Kun and Ge Tong just smiled slightly bitterly and said, "Transferring Dao soldiers from the Daoist Academy is just a cover for the inner disciples, and the sect may not expect us to play a role at all, so naturally there is no need to tell ......us in advance."
Although the disciples of the Dao soldiers are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, they are the absolute bottom of the Taiwei Sect, and their status cannot be compared with the inner disciples at all, let alone the true transmission.
Even in the army, it is difficult for a Taoist disciple from the Taoist Academy to hold a more important martial position than that of a hundred martial arts captains.
The real core positions in the army have always been held by selecting disciples from the inner gate of the Upper Seven Peaks, and when the disciples of the Dao soldiers want to really get ahead, the shortcut is to enter the inner gate of the Upper Seven Peaks to practice.
"So, if you encounter any danger, you have to be the queen of the Dao Soldier Disciple Hall to attract the pursuers?" Chen Hai asked.
"Theoretically, this is true, but there should be no danger in defeating a rabble in this battle. Ge Tong said disappreciatively.
"It's hard to say," Chen Hai said, "Xie Wenzhuo, Lu Hongqian and others entered Yulong Mountain to reconnoiter the enemy situation at the beginning of the year, but it took two and a half months to go up to the Seven Peaks before there was any movement, so they should still have some doubts." ā
"Either way, we can't go wrong if we prepare a little more. "Although Shen Kun has a bold temperament, he has been serving as a patrol school in Mengyi City all these years, but he has also developed the habit of being thoughtful in everything.
Chen Hai took out the fine iron shield, black scale armor and other equipment from the Daoist Academy, although he had to return it to the Taoist Academy after the war, he also seized three days to transform it with Zhou Jingyuan by infiltration casting;
Ge Tong and Shen Kun have served in the army all year round, but they both have good armor.
Chen Hai was incorporated into the temporary sect soldiers as the lowest level of Taoist soldiers this time, and he could not bring his generals with him, so Zhao Shan stayed with Zhou Jingyuan to sit in the armor shop.
In addition to the vials of Jing Yuan Pill and healing plasters distributed by the Daoist Academy for free, he, Ge Tong and Shen Kun also used 2,000 sect merits to exchange for more than 20 bottles of Jing Yuan Pill and six bottles of bone renewal spirit ointment and other healing elixirs with him.
These pills and white belt will not be able to suffer a big loss in a single trip, and in case of a tough battle that is difficult to gnaw in a short time, they can also be secretly sold for profit.
The formation of the army was also completed within three days, teaching Qi Siyu to temporarily serve as the captain of the hundred martial arts, leading the hundred disciples of Chen Hai's team, Zhou Jun, Ge Tong, Shen Kun and others were all assisted by Qi Siyu as the deputy lieutenant of the hundred martial arts, and they were actually the soldiers of the team of fifteen people each.
Although Zhou Jun and Zhao Ruhui have always had the intention of using him to fight against the disciples of the Chai family, after Chen Hai arrived at the Taoist Academy, he was really taken care of by Zhou Jun and Zhao Ruhui a lot.
***************************
After a simple drill in the Taoist Academy, the three hundred Dao soldiers rushed to Gao County, southwest of Mengyi, under the leadership of the Soldier Elder Li Xianghai, three days later, and joined the seven hundred disciples of Shangqifeng and the other two Taoist monasteries.
Gao County is located in the southwest of Mengyi, the city is located in a basin at the southern foot of the mountain, the rammed city wall of loess is about 1,000 steps long, some dilapidated, and on the north bank of a stream outside the southern city, dozens of camp tents have long been stationed in the open field.
After the Dao soldiers are assembled, they will spend two days here before going on the road.
The vast majority of the three hundred Dao soldiers and disciples drawn by the Tieliuling Daoist Academy were novices.
Although everyone is organized as the reserve military attache of the Wuwei Army, they usually only pay attention to personal martial arts cultivation, and they have not yet conducted formal military training, and even Zhou Jun and other purple-clothed disciples have not officially stayed in the army.
Fortunately, there are old men like Ge Tong and Shen Kun who have led soldiers, and they took everyone to choose a highland with wind and water to set up camp and settle down, so they will not be particularly in a hurry.
How many inner disciples were dispatched to Shangqifeng this time, Chen Hai and they just arrived in Gao County It is not known, but in the past few days, they have temporarily crammed their feet, listened to Shen Kun and Ge Tong explain the military system, and then looked at the camp tent carefully, Chen Hai also knew in his heart that the disciples from the inner gate of Shangqifeng would directly form the Chinese army, and the 1,000 Dao soldiers and disciples drawn from the three Taoist academies would form the front army and the left and right guards.
Looking at the designated camp site, these three hundred Dao soldiers and disciples who were drawn from the Tieliuling Daoist Academy should be regarded as belonging to the Left Guard.
Soon, a herald in brown armor, holding a small flag, galloped over, and ordered Li Xianghai, Qi Siyu and others to go to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters.
Chen Hai and the others still seized the time as usual and practiced the military formation with Shen Kun and Ge Tong.
The three hundred Dao soldiers and disciples all have a strong cultivation foundation, and they can all read and write and hyphenate, and they are familiar with each other's senior brothers, and they have three or five days of running-in, and there is no problem in practicing the basic military formation. However, the vast majority of people knew that they were serving as a foil and cover for the Chinese army composed of inner disciples, and they also believed that the displaced people who were in trouble were a rabble, and they were not interested in military drills except for personal practice.
Chen Hai's team, as well as Shen Kun and Ge Tong, were strictly restrained, and the other Taoist disciples were very lazy, looking at their demeanor, they even regarded this expedition as a camping for military merits in vain.
Chen Hai seized the time to practice shield halberd combat skills and practice riding arrows, but his attitude could not determine others.
The discussion of the big tent of the Chinese army ended quickly, the sun was falling down the western mountains, and the twilight was diffusing from all directions, Li Xianghai, Qi Siyu and others rushed back, and several people followed behind them and galloped into the camp of the Left Guard Army together.
Chen Hai sat in front of the freshly lit bonfire in front of the camp tent and wiped the cold iron halberd, and looked up, but it was Chen Qing and Xie Wenzhuo and Lu Hongqian, who almost clashed in the Yaoshi Garden armor shop that day, and the accompanying generals, surrounded by the subordinates, followed Li Xianghai, Qi Siyu and others to ride their horses into the camp of the Left Guard.
Chen Qing was wearing a fiery red spirit armor, which was particularly eye-catching in the night, like a raging flame, and the spirit armor had a faint spiritual glow emanating out, condensing into a barrier like ripples in the surrounding body, setting off her face as white as jade, and delicate facial features as delicate as flowers.
Not surprisingly, Chen Hai guessed that Chen Qing should be searching for him, and secretly felt a headache: what did she do when she ran to the camp of the Left Guard?
Su Ziling also rode a black-scaled horse, following behind Chen Qing, she was wearing Qingyun soft armor, clinging to the delicate and delicate body, although the black sheath sword behind her made her a little heroic, but her appearance was softer than Chen Qing, and the spring waves in her eyes were rippling, and everyone seemed to feel that this woman was looking at herself, and they couldn't help but shake their hearts.
Chen Hai also clearly felt that Su Ziling didn't notice him, but he also had the illusion of being stared at by her.
This is not a normal feeling.
Chen Hai seemed to have failed to step into the Tongxuan Realm, and he was only the lowest-level martial cultivator disciple in the sect, but he had already killed forty-seven Rakshasa ghosts in the Blood Cloud Wasteland, and through the secret method of killing demons, the bloody corpse-like puppet actually grew a layer of blood-red soft scales on the surface of the body.
Although the soft scales are not hard enough, this is enough to show that the physical body of the puppet clone has begun to evolve substantially.
At the same time, his soul and mind are much tougher and more condensed than he imagined, and he has a deep vigilance against Su Ziling's daughter in his heart, and at this time he faintly feels that something is wrong:
There are also many female disciples with beautiful faces in the Taoist Academy, although Su Ziling is better, but she is not so charming, is this woman naturally charming?
The soft charm of Su Ziling's eyebrows and eyes was fleeting, and when Chen Hai wanted to take a closer look, she seemed to be as well-behaved as a girl next door, as if she was willing to be shrouded in Chen Qing's dazzling halo.
Except for Su Ziling, only Qian Wenyi was the only one in the Chen clan who followed Chen Qing's side.
Behind Xie Wenzhuo and Lu Hongqian, there were two powerhouses at the peak of the Spirit Clearing Realm to protect their safety, showing the important position of these two people in their respective clans.
Only the most descendant disciples will be protected so strictly and meticulously.
Seeing Shen Kun coming over, Chen Hai asked him suspiciously, "What are they doing running over with Li Xianghai?"
"It should be the ...... sent by the Chinese army to restrain our Left Guard," Shen Kun was familiar with the military system and guessed.
Chen Hai didn't expect this to happen, guessing that Chen Qing, Xie Wenzhuo, and Lu Hongqian were incorporated into the Left Guard Army at the same time, and maybe there was also a meaning aimed at him, but he was only the lowest-level military pawn at this time, and there were Qi Siyu, Zhou Jun, Ge Tong, and Shen Kun in the middle, but he was not afraid that they could directly make it bad to him.
************************
More than 1,000 sect soldiers, after two days of rectification, they went to the Jade Dragon Mansion.
South of Taiwei Mountain, Hexi counties, prefectures and counties are connected by galloping roads.
From Mengyi to Yulong Mansion, although there is a distance of nearly 2,000 miles, a thousand soldiers have mounts instead of foot strength, and they will enter the territory of Yulong Mansion after five days.
In the early summer of the seventy-first year of Emperor Yitian, the territory of Yulong Mansion was already extremely hot.
The cracked earth, the dry riverbed, the dry grass and trees, the sparse fields on both sides and the lack of crops, and the galloping roads crowded with yellow-skinned and drowning hungry people all show that the famine in the Yulong Mansion shows no signs of abating.
These hungry people were going to the north to escape from the famine, Mengyi and other places, at this time, they were all driven off the gallop by the pioneer cavalry who opened the way, crowded among the dry ridges, numbly looking at the passing army, and a few people were unwilling to stretch out their dirty hands forward, hoping that the Taoist disciples who galloped away could give something.
Chen Hai and the other Taoist soldiers of the Left Guard Army formed a horse team, and they were stretched back and forth for a mile or two, before they tamed the violent jujube red horse so that they did not kick their hooves, and they were wearing heavy black scale armor, and under the scorching sun, his sweat soaked his armor, wet and dry, dry and wet.
Not to mention that he and the vast majority of Xuanyi disciples who had just stepped into the Xuanyi Realm, even those few hundred martial arts captains who had stepped into the Soul Clearing Realm were all full of exhaustion, and continuing to march in the scorching summer season was also a matter of extreme consumption of true yuan.
The Jade Dragon Mansion City was built on a gentle slope, looking at the long pavilion outside the city from a distance, the black pressure was full of officials who greeted him, and the Chinese army composed of inner disciples had already greeted him, talking to the officials who greeted him in the long pavilion.
At this time, the herald came over with a flag and asked the disciples to dismount and rest temporarily, and today they will enter the Yulong Mansion City, and the day after tomorrow they will start to rush to Yulong Mountain to join the front army that has advanced to the foot of the northern slope of Yulong Mountain.
