"The disciple is incompetent, he went north to scout the enemy, but he didn't intend to expose his whereabouts, first let the demon soldiers chase and flee, and then the battle was unfavorable, and he actually made the demon head flee north, please punish the general!"

Chen Hai waited outside the big tent, and heard that Jiang Yuwei had just been called into the big tent and took the initiative to plead guilty to Jiang Ming.

Jiang Mingchuan was obviously in a very good mood today, and he didn't feel the slightest dissatisfaction because he let a fake Dan Realm demon general escape with six or seven hundred demon soldiers, and said with a smile: "These bastard guys of the Pastoral Division, I sent you an order to prepare war horses, and they actually fooled you with bad horses, so that this time let the demon head escape, the blame is not on you." ”

The Pastoral Division was under the control of Changshi Wu Xu, Jiang Yuwei led his troops north to scout the enemy's situation, and only obtained three hundred inferior horses from the Pastoral Division, Jiang Mingchuan already knew, of course he could not go to Wu Xu to confront Wu Xu for Jiang Yuwei's low-level disciples, but he didn't expect that Jiang Yuwei led less than two hundred low-level disciples to really introduce thousands of demon soldiers into their ambush circle.

At this time, Jiang Mingchuan wanted to bring up the old matter again, and squeezed Wu Xu who was sitting on the side.

Of course, in his words, he only pointed the finger at the officials of the Pastoral Division, but the discerning people could still hear Jiang Mingchuan's dissatisfaction with Wu Xu, and they all thought that Wu Xu's death of his son was indeed a little inauthentic when he counted it on juniors like Jiang Yuwei.

Wu Xu was also depressed, what could he refute?

said that Jiang Yuwei and they can all fly against the wind, and when it is critical, they should give up the inferior horses and fly against the wind to rush into the depths of the demon array to surround and kill the demon generals?

Although when Yunhu Zhenjun left, he strictly ordered them not to act rashly, Jiang Mingchuan could not dispatch a large army to break through to the front line of Tianluo Valley again, so as not to cause a strong reaction from the demon clan, but it did not mean that the demon soldiers killed on the front line of the Demon Deer Ridge, and they could not fight a beautiful encirclement and counterattack battle.

Although they didn't kill any powerful demon generals this time, they annihilated more than 6,000 demon soldiers (including captures), most of them were elite warriors, and there were no miscellaneous demons.

Most of the demon generals who garrison the border still like to have the opportunity to kill the demon soldiers and demon generals, after all, except for the imperial capital, the money is really low, and only the military exploits can get a lot of rewards from the imperial capital and the sect.

At this time, whoever can lead them to kill the demon soldiers and reap the battle exploits will have a high reputation, which makes Jiang Mingchuan further secure his position as the general of the left capital guard.

Next, Jiang Mingchuan did not entangle with Wu Xu, and discussed with the generals to appoint Jiang Yuwei to rebuild a sentry fortress in the north of Yunzhongsai to monitor the movements of the demon soldiers.

Although it is only a sentry block, the scale will not be too large, but it can lead the generals alone, and it can be regarded as the "main general" of one party. However, Yunzhongsai is already located nearly a thousand miles north of the Demon Deer Ridge, and the newly built outpost will be further north from Yunzhongsai, whether it is a large-scale war or a small group of demon soldiers attacking, it will bear the brunt, this "main general" can be said to be a mountain scorching on the coals.

Therefore, no one will fight for the position of this "chief general", and it can even be said that if anyone had made a big mistake, he would not have been sent to serve as this "chief general".

At this time, Jiang Mingchuan took advantage of Jiang Yuwei's young and reckless thoughts and wanted to make more military achievements, so that Jiang Yuwei took people to take this risk, and Jiang Yuwei naturally belonged to Jiang Mingchuan's family, so everyone naturally would not object to anything.

After discussing the matter of building a new outpost, Jiang Mingchuan, Wu Xu, and others led their troops and horses to detain the captives and return to the Yantaiguan camp; as for the situation inside the Tianluo Valley that Jiang Yuwei mentioned, Jiang Mingchuan still needed to report to the Xizhu State General's Mansion, which was in charge of the defense of the entire northwest border of Chongguo, before he knew what to do.

Chen Hai and Jiang Yuwei were temporarily stationed in Yunzhongsai, and when Jiang Mingchuan transferred people from the Industrial Construction Department in the future, they went north together to choose a site to build a new fortress.

Jiang Ze, Zhou Tong, Wei Teng, Ma Yan and others were quite dissatisfied with the new appointment.

They are not stupid, they know in their hearts that Jiang Mingchuan is actually using them to take risks and reap his military exploits.

They didn't know that the Demon General Chiyuan and the Winged Demon Red Army were actually under Chen Hai's control, even if the Red Yuan and Winged Demon Red Army would inevitably be punished after they returned, and it was impossible to have a chance to lead the troops again, but as long as the Red Source and Winged Demon Red Army were there, Chen Hai would be able to accurately grasp the gathering trend of the demon soldiers in Tianluo Valley.

Therefore, in the eyes of Jiang Ze and Zhou Tong, this time to build a fortress in the north is an extremely dangerous task.

Go north to scout the enemy's situation, encounter a large force of demon soldiers, they can still flee south, and now to the north of the cloud plug to defend it, it is impossible to advance and retreat at will, and once a large-scale war breaks out, or if there is a demon lord or young monarch in the Immortal Evil Domain who is full of food and support, and wants to launch a small-scale attack on the human defense line, they will definitely bear the brunt, and no one knows how many people they will be killed and injured during the rotation period.

If it weren't for the use of them, if it wasn't for the life and death of the low-level disciples at all, where would the descendants be arranged to go to such a dangerous place?

But in any case, Jiang Mingchuan's military order has been issued, and it is not something that these low-level disciples can change; fortunately, when Jiang Mingchuan led his troops back to Yantai Pass, he directly pulled out twenty red beasts, two hundred green cunning horses, and a number of armor, which was also a great reward.

All this was expected by Chen Hai.

Jiang Mingchuan's temporary appointment as the general of the left capital guard was only a few years, and if he wanted to sit firmly in the position and obtain a long-term appointment, or further development in the army, he needed to seize the time to build up his military exploits.

However, when Yunhu Zhenjun was leaving, there was a strict order prohibiting them from acting rashly, and with the restraint of Wu Xu and other generals, Jiang Mingchuan had no way to go alone, so he could only continue to pin his trust on Jiang Yuwei's low-level disciples, and he could continue to bring him some surprises.

Therefore, five days later, the Ministry of Engineering and Construction assisted in building the fortress, and Jiang Ming was sent to Yunzhong to obey Jiang Yuwei's dispatch, and the seven or eight hundred low-level disciples and servants who remained in Yantai Pass in Beiling Villa were also moved to Yunzhong Sailai.

During these five days, Chen Hai dived alone into the depths of the wasteland in the north of Yunzhongsai, looking for a suitable site for building the fortress, and finally selected a broken ridge 1,000 miles away from Yunzhongsai in the south and less than 2,000 miles away from Tianluo Valley as the site of Beilingsai.

It is definitely not a good choice to deviate thousands of miles from the clouds to the north to build the North Mausoleum Village all of a sudden, and the spiritual veins of the Broken Ridge were also broken in the previous war.

Although to the north of the Demon Deer Ridge, the aura of heaven and earth is still abundant, but the high-level magic circle still needs to be deployed in the spiritual veins in order to give full play to its power.

Fortunately, in the early stage, it was impossible for Jiang Mingchuan to transfer any powerful high-level protection array from Yantai Pass to them, which was negligible.

And what Chen Hai values most is not that there is a ruined village site that can be used to reduce the construction workload of the sentry block, but more importantly, there is a cave site where the demons mined Xuanyang iron ore.

Although the mine cave was collapsed in the previous battle, and it seems that the scale of the demon clan's mining of Xuanyang iron was not large before, but if the disciples of the mountain villa really want to exert the power of the heavy crossbow, they must get enough Xuanyang iron materials to cast the Xuanyang Heavy Blade Arrow for consumption.

And with a Xuanyang Iron Mine, they have the ability to try to cast more Heavenly Machine Weapons, otherwise what would Chen Hai do if Jiang Yuwei took so many low-level disciples north on this trip?

The site of the Beiling Fortress was reported to Jiang Mingchuan, and Jiang Mingchuan quickly responded, Jiang Mingchuan not only did not object to their site of the fortress so aggressively, but even transferred a four-pillar demon formation to strengthen their defense.

The Demon Punishment Array is the most common standard defensive array with both offense and defense in the army, which is divided into three levels: four columns, sixteen columns, and sixty-four columns.

Yantai Pass relies on the main spiritual vein at the western foot of the Demon Deer Ridge to deploy the sixty-four pillars of the Demon Punishment Array, the large array is activated, even if the Demon Lord-level demon powerhouse leads the elite demon soldiers to attack, no matter how weak the defenders are, they can rely on the Demon Punishment Array to resist for three or five days and wait for the army to come to help.

Although the Four-Pillar Demon Punishment Array is two levels worse than the Mountain Protection Array at Yantai Pass, it must also be an important checkpoint and sentry before it can be deployed, Jiang Mingchuan can transfer a Four-Pillar Demon Punishment Array to them, and he also expects them to make another battle exploit for him.

After preparing to compromise, Chen Hai and Jiang Yuwei led more than 1,000 soldiers and horses and 200 craftsmen from the Industrial Construction Department to set off from Yunzhongsai to the north and rushed to the site of Xinsai in three days.

In the depths of the wasteland of Yima Pingchuan, the broken ridge is about 100 zhang high, and the east and west extend for three or four miles, but looking at the remnants of the cliffs and broken walls all around, the gravel is like the sea, and it can be seen that the scale of this broken ridge in the early days is by no means more than that.

The Broken Ridge collapsed and collapsed into what it is today in the previous battle between humans and demons, and Chen Hai and the others could even see the traces of sword qi slashing from the cliff mountain.

Although Chen Hai had not personally experienced the original battle, seeing that the sword qi was able to cut into the rock layer more than 100 zhang deep, one could imagine how fierce the battle was at that time, and how strong the Heavenly Realm powerhouse was.

With his strength at this time, even if he was a powerhouse in the primordial realm of the Heavenly Rank, he could cut him in two with a single sword qi in his hand.

At the northern foot of the Broken Ridge, there is a remnant village in the pile of rocks, and the ruins of the mine cave are also behind the remnant village, but the rock layer of the Broken Ridge is broken and becomes extremely unstable, and it is no longer possible to clean up the rocks and re-mine the ore.

Fortunately, the mountains collapsed, and a considerable amount of Xuanyang iron ore was exposed, and Jiang Yuwei and the others only needed to pick up these scattered ores for smelting, which was enough for the early consumption.

Although the conditions were difficult, Jiang Ze and Jiang Xuan were not the sons and young ladies who were initially protected by the clan and had not experienced any storms, so they quickly deployed the Four Pillars Demon Punishment Array in the remnant village, and more than 1,000 people set up temporary camps on the periphery of the remnant village, so that the craftsmen of the Engineering and Construction Division could restore the remnant village a little bit in the fastest time, and they could be stationed in it.

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

At the same time, in the depths of the wasteland more than a hundred miles away, more than a dozen riders in black robes stopped in the bushes, and were watching every move of the disciples of Beiling Valley Villa near the Broken Ridge with the help of a bronze mirror that emitted a faint blue light.

A sword cultivator with a black mask stepped on top of a fiery red spirit sword, threw a storage bag to a scar-faced rider, and said, "Master Han, presumably you don't want to see the military forces extend to the south side of Tianluo Valley and block the passage between your east and west." This is the deposit that my master has given to the head of the Han family, and if you can expose these disciples to the wilderness, you will be rewarded twice as much. ”

The scarface rider opened the storage bag and looked at the contents of the bag, he was quite satisfied, and asked Jian Xiu curiously: "With the strength of your master, getting these people is no different from crushing a few ants, why do you want to give us benefits?"

"Huh?" the masked sword cultivator snorted coldly and said, "If it is convenient for my master to act everywhere, where will you have the opportunity to work here?"

Sword cultivation only has Dao Dan cultivation, and the scar-faced rider can beat him all over the ground with one hand, but thinking that he still has to rely on him to deliver the news, he can only endure his rudeness at this time, wave his hand, and take more than a dozen subordinates to join the large army in the rear.

Even if Wu Xu didn't send someone to find him, just because this group of little lambs actually carried a four-pillar demon punishment array into the wasteland, it was worth their shot.
