Chapter 700: Northward
Chapter 700: Northward
Although the weather has entered autumn, the sun at noon is still a little hot, the heavy city gate of the west gate of Yantai Pass rose to the ground, and a team of more than 200 knights surrounded by five chariots rode out of the middle and slowly headed west, it was Chen Hai and others.
After leaving the city, Chen Hai turned his head to look back, only to see that the ten-zhang high city gate with complicated talismans and seals quickly fell down.
Jiang Ze on the side picked up the long whip angrily, tapped the war horse under his crotch and said, "I'll leave the Yantai Pass shelter and go deep into the Demon Domain to do things for the Ming Ancestor, and the Ancestor will give us these things?"
Chen Hai looked left and right, and saw that Zhou Tong and the others also looked indignant, sighed, and had nothing to say. He had long known that Jiang Mingchuan could not claim to have any control over Yantai Pass, and he also knew that Wu Xu would not let them go, and it was not surprising for him to make some small moves.
Jiang Yuwei and the others had already made arrangements, so they waited for Jiang Ming to send an order to the west of the city to lead a full number of war horses out of the city to reconnoiter the enemy.
They rushed to the Pastoral Division with Jiang Mingchuan's military order, and the Pastoral Division did not embarrass them on the face, but just said that after several battles, there were too many war horses in the army, and they had not been replenished for a while, so they could only take some horses from the baggage battalion to transport goods to them as leg strength.
The species of Xingheng Domain and Yanzhou are about the same, but due to the abundant aura and vast territory, the same breed of war riding spirit beasts are all a grade higher than Yanzhou.
Chen Hai and the others didn't have the luxury of a standard war horse of the level of the Red Beast, but the 200,000 garrisons in Yantai Pass, if they couldn't even draw out three hundred green cunning horses, who could believe it?
But Wu Xu is so shameless, arranging for the pastor to pull out 300 camels and horses for them, what can they do?
These camels and horses seem to be on par with the speed of the green cunning horse, but they do not have the blood of demon beasts in their bodies, and they have not been trained. And the well-trained young cunning horse, wearing horse armor, and the well-ridden warriors and horses, charging on the battlefield, with the powerful momentum of pulling up at high speed, can trample ordinary demon soldiers to turn people on their backs, the gap between them, it is really difficult to explain in words.
Not only in Yanzhou, but also in the Xingheng Domain, the heavy armored cavalry is also an extremely important type of military that is highly valued and built by the sect lords and sects.
Chen Hai and the others discussed the deployment of the cavalry battle formation all night yesterday, but now they only got 300 camels and horses, and those 200 people can only be used as horse infantry.
The so-called horse infantry is a type of army that marches on horseback and dismounts to fight in formation, and it is obviously not the same level of troops as the heavy armored cavalry.
Jiang Yuwei led his troops out of the city to lure demons, which was a very risky move, but he didn't expect to be hit like this before he left the city, no wonder Jiang Ze and the others were full of anger and low morale.
Jiang Yuwei entered the sect and participated in various trials over the years, although she has not been born and died, but after all, she has never led an army or fought a war, and she is somewhat overwhelmed when she sees the situation in front of her.
Chen Hai looked at the north with a solemn face, and this little difficulty at the moment could not cause any interference to him at all.
Just ten years ago, including the Demon Deer Ridge, more than 10,000 miles south of Tianluo Valley were under the control of the Demon Clan, a large number of monsters bred and multiplied here, and the Human Race could not set foot on its ground for half an inch.
After Jiang Yin was ordered to retreat, abandon Tianluo Valley, and retreat to the area of Demon Deer Ridge to build a defensive line, although the demons have not yet recovered their stronghold near Tianluo Valley at this time, but a large number of monsters have poured south, regathering to wander and prey near Tianluo Valley.
The wasteland of the northern region of Xingheng breeds demons, breeding all kinds of bloodthirsty monsters, and killing them endlessly, only the monsters that breed spiritual wisdom and can cultivate can be called the Rakshasa Demon Clan, and they are the natural leaders of the Northern Regions.
The Rakshasa Demon Clan was killed by Jiang Yin's troops, and in recent years, they have damaged the Demon Lord-level powerhouses, and they dare not act easily, but a large number of low-level bloodthirsty monsters have no spiritual wisdom, and they will rush to wherever there is food, and the garrison of the Demon Deer Ridge needs to use the mountains of the Demon Deer Ridge and the desperate desert on the left and right to block these bloodthirsty demons, so that the human race can use the large plains south of the Demon Deer Ridge to breed and reproduce.
However, although a large number of bloodthirsty monsters gathered in Tianluo Valley, there were not many monsters to be seen north of Demon Deer Ridge for the time being, Chen Hai and they went all the way north after leaving the city, but there were no twists and turns, even if there were small groups of monsters, they did not dare to rush up to find trouble with them.
Chen Hai and their trip, in addition to luring the enemy, the more important thing is to explore the movements in Tianluo Valley.
The Magneto-Light River (Spatial Rift) leading to the Blood Cloud Wasteland is located in the depths of the Tianluo Valley, which is as deep as a thousand feet, and logically speaking, this spatial rift will slowly become larger, and will eventually make the Tianluo Valley completely connected with the Blood Cloud Wasteland and Yanzhou.
Although this process will last for thousands of years, as long as there is a strong enough Heaven and Earth Great Array, it is not impossible to establish a stable Heaven Domain Channel in advance.
Although Chen Hai should have suffered a lot of damage to the Bone Tower after leaving the Blood Cloud Wasteland, the demon clans in the Blood Cloud Wasteland had already formed a demon kingdom and had extremely strong organizational skills. In the past few years, I don't know if the Bone Tower has been repaired, or if it has been built stronger, Chen Hai needs to take a look at it with his own eyes to be able to rest assured.
Walking until the sunset in the west, almost leaving Yantai Pass and walking seven or eight hundred miles to the north, Chen Hai saw from a distance that on a mountain ridge, there was a small fortress-like building hidden in the green hills, and from a distance, there were many generals guarding it.
Jiang Yuwei said: "There should be a plug in the clouds, let's go there tonight." ”
Although the Chongguo border army focused its defense on the Demon Deer Ridge, it also successively built a number of outposts north of the Demon Deer Ridge to monitor the movements of the Demon Clan, and the northernmost outpost was not even more than a thousand miles away from Tianluo Valley in the north.
Although through the monitoring array, the sentry village in the north can keep an eye on every grass and tree around Tianluo Valley, but Tianluo Valley is two or three thousand miles long, and the demonic fog and poisonous miasma in Tianluo Valley breed, and there are many branch cracks extending to the north, so the movement in Tianluo Valley still needs to be sent in from time to time to figure it out.
Although everyone is at least a cultivator of the Spirit Realm, their material needs are not high, and it is even more common for them to sleep in the open air, but their little people and horses camping in the wasteland surrounded by bloodthirsty monsters are really a kind of consumption and torment for the spirit, and if they can enter the well-defended outpost to rest, it will naturally be better.
Jiang Yuwei said hello, Jiang Ze and the others were gloomy a little, and they hurriedly stepped up, and finally rushed to the front of the clouds when the stars were rising.
When Jiang Yuwei was communicating with the guards in the clouds, Chen Hai observed that the foot of the city in the clouds was covered with a large number of cracks, hideous and ugly, and from the foot of the city wall two or three zhang upwards, it was as clean as new.
It can be seen that the Demon Immortal Evil Domain, which is mainly faced by the northern border of Chongguo, is definitely not weak in the offensive launched in the first two years, and it has almost destroyed the entire Cloud Fortress, and the Cloud Fortress should have been rebuilt on the basis of the remnant city in the past two years after the Immortal Evil Domain retreated.
Chen Hai was thinking about it, and the defensive array in the clouds suddenly opened a corner at this time, and the heavy cast iron city gate also slowly rose, and he saw a giant man nearly one zhang high, riding a red beast standing under the city gate, and invited Jiang Yuwei, Chen Hai and others to enter quickly.
This person is the guard general of Yunzhongsai, and they have informed each other of their names, Chen Hai only knew that this person's surname is Ma Mingyu, who was originally also an outer disciple of Wanxian Mountain, and after ten years of practice, he went to serve in the army, and he has accumulated merit for more than ten years as a battalion captain, and has the mid-term cultivation of the Mingqi Realm, leading three hundred elite generals to guard here.
Obviously, Ma Yu is also a disciple from Hanshu, otherwise he would not have received such a drudgery.
They hung alone outside the Demon Deer Ridge, except for the normal supply once a month, they usually couldn't see anyone, and at this time, Jiang Yuwei's identity was verified, and they were naturally warmly entertained.
Everyone settled down and placed the horses on the first floor of the military fortress, leaving someone to take care of them, and the others were all led by Ma Yu to walk towards the barracks where the upper generals lived.
Seeing that Chen Hai was about to follow, Ma Yunong's eyebrows frowned slightly.
It stands to reason that the status of the demon is extremely low, and he can only stay with the spirit beasts and animals at ordinary times, Jiang Yuwei saw Ma Yu's reaction, and hurriedly explained: "Jiang Qing is the general given to me by Jiang Yin's ancestor, and Yuwei doesn't dare to slack off!"
Jiang Yin is the Supreme Elder of Wanxian Mountain, and it is rumored that his cultivation is even higher than that of the Sect Leader, and he is also the top existence in Chongguo, compared with this man, he is tantamount to a fairy-like figure.
Ma Yu heard Jiang Yuwei say that the green scale demon in front of him was actually given by Jiang Yin's ancestor, and hurriedly said, "How offended!"
After everyone sat down on the second floor, Ma Yu went to prepare the meal, and while waiting, he talked about the situation here with Jiang Yuwei and the others.
Yunzhongsai is located nine hundred miles north of the Demon Deer Ridge, with three hundred elite generals under its jurisdiction, and is responsible for monitoring the situation of the demon clans on the periphery of the Demon Deer Ridge.
In addition to him, there is also an adjutant in the early stage of the Ming Trick as his deputy, and the rest of the ordinary soldiers, most of them are cultivators of the Spirit Realm and the Xuan Realm.
"In the early days, Jiang Yin's ancestor commanded the border soldiers, and the sentry fortress of the Demon Deer Ridge once extended to the vicinity of Tianluo Valley, but the Rakshasa Demon has fought back frantically in the past two years, and the sentry fortress in the north has not survived. Even the cloud plug was rebuilt half a year ago. You're here to scout the enemy, but you're going north to be more careful. Although there has been no change in the Immortal Evil Domain recently, in addition to the large number of bloodthirsty monsters gathering near Tianluo Valley, many horse thieves and rogues have escaped from the south in the past two years, and they have done a lot of evil. These rogues are the most hateful, they plundered and slaughtered in the south, and they couldn't survive after being cleared by the border army, so they fled to the north of the Demon Deer Ridge, they will not only attack our outposts, but even secretly collude with the Rakshasa Demon, plus their strength is not weak, cunning and treacherous and wandering around committing crimes, it is difficult to get rid of it, it is really a headache......"
Before Chen Hai and the others, they could only roughly understand some of the situations near Tianluo Valley, and only when they met with someone like Ma Yu did they know that the situation near Tianluo Valley had become complicated again.
Early in the morning of the second day, Chen Hai and the others, who had rested all night, resigned and left Yunzhongsai to continue northward.
Although they did not encounter horse thieves, the number of monsters roaming the wasteland gradually increased, and Chen Hai and the others were forced to give up their speed, and constantly changed their marching routes to avoid being targeted by a large group of monsters.
In this way, Chen Hai and the others stopped and stopped all the way, and only arrived on the south side of Wanluo Valley ten days later......
