Chapter 295: The Great Army Pressed the Realm
"Hu Lin, the city guard of Guanhe City, and meet General Zhenxi. ”
A middle-aged man in a bright official uniform led a group of officials to stand on the street and saluted Jiang Hanming's team.
"Lord Hu doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly. Jiang Hanming turned over and dismounted, and helped Hu Lin up with a smile on his face.
After coming to Guanhe City, Jiang Hanming felt that his whole person was much more refreshed.
"The general came from afar, and the journey was tiring all the way, and the subordinate set up a banquet for the general to wash the dust of the army. Hu Lin said respectfully.
"Okay, good, there is the city of Laohu to guard. Jiang Hanming smiled, this feeling is really good.
Jiang Hanming's 50,000 troops were each arranged to a nearby garrison.
It won't be long before people bring food and wine to these barracks.
As for Jiang Hanming and several of his lieutenants, they were led by Hu Lin into the banquet set up in the city lord's mansion.
A banquet, staggered, Jiang Hanming was also dizzy.
The drunkard's intention was not to drink, what made Jiang Hanming drunk was not the wine at this banquet, but the state of regaining control of the overall situation.
"General Jiang, this cup of wine, I wish the general a victory and a grand plan!"
Hu Lin picked up a full glass of wine and saluted Jiang Hanming on the seat.
Jiang Hanming was in high spirits, and he raised his wine glass and saluted back.
Then the two of them drank it all and poured all the wine in the cup into their stomachs.
"Good wine!"
After drinking, the two of them also praised the wine in the glass.
The feast was a happy affair, but the scouts of the expeditionary force were not idle.
Taking advantage of the laxity of the soldiers and patrols in the city, the spies collected everything that should be collected.
"Well, there are 10,000 or 20,000 people...... a spy who went to explore the military camp outside the city, hiding in a tree on a hill.
Looking at the military camps stationed at the foot of the hillside not far away, I couldn't help but mutter.
The soldiers brought by Jiang Hanming were all outside the barracks at this time, eating wine and food from the city in the open air.
Drinking to the end, there are still a lot of fist strokes one after another.
Look at the temperament of these soldiers, and then look at the equipment of this army.
After a while, the spy quietly retreated and left the area.
An hour later, the spies gathered on the side of a small street in the eastern city.
"What did you see?" asked the head of the spy.
"I found that the troops stationed in the barracks outside the city numbered about 5,000 people. A spy said.
"Looking at the equipment of those armies, it is not like an ordinary city defense army, but more like a regular army. ”
"There were 10,000 people in that camp I saw. Another spy said, "Equipment, it looks like a regular army." ”
"I saw a ...... over there"
Several spies reported one after another, and to sum up, at this time, it is not the city guards of Guanhe City.
The soldiers and horses of Jiang Hanming's troops stationed outside the city alone were as many as 50,000 people.
"Fifty thousand troops, what is this Jiang Hanming trying to do?" said the head of the spy with a frown.
"Guanhe City is not a strategic location, even if there are still many rebel armies in the south of Xizhou now. But most of them are just some local chickens and dogs, and they can't send such an army of 50,000 people......"
The strength of the rebel army in the south of Zijin Xizhou and the rebel army led by Ju Xinshui and others is not the same at all.
To put it bluntly, these rebels are either peasant uprisings, or bandits and bandits take advantage of the opportunity.
The combat effectiveness is extremely worrisome, and it is not at all the enemy of the regular army.
To send out a regular army to suppress these bandits, only 10,000, or at most 15,000 troops, is enough.
An army of 50,000 people used a dragon-slaying knife to kill chickens.
And isn't there a war going on at the front? The enemy is Ju Xinshui and other famous generals, and an army of 50,000 people has just come to the rear, what does it mean?
The spies naturally didn't know that Jiang Hanming and Li Quanyi were not dealing with each other.
They just thought about Jiang Hanming, did they notice the movement of the Desolate Ancient Expeditionary Force?
But this ...... Apparently also unlikely.
So far, the expeditionary force has not done any major moves.
"Go back quickly, and tell your lords!"
All the spies immediately stepped out of the way and left Guanhe City.
At this time, in the Baixuan Village of the Deciduous Mountain Range, except for the owner of the village, Hong Wu.
All the people in Bai Xuanzhai, including the nine masters, had disbelief in their eyes.
Because, Hong Wu announced a message to them.
From now on, they will join an army that has come out of nowhere, and become a part of them.
In other words, there will be no Baixuanzhai in the future, and Baixuanzhai will become part of an unknown army.
This made many thieves dissatisfied, and at the same time, there were nine masters.
Zhu Guang didn't understand Hong Wu's behavior, Zhang Ming even had a long face, and his eyes were full of unkindness when he looked at Chu Ke.
"Two brothers, what do you think of Bai Xuanzhai's current combat power?" asked Hong Wu.
"There is more than enough than the top, although we can't capture the city, but we can still break some city defense troops. Zhu Guang replied truthfully.
"But, do you know what we can rely on to defeat these city defense forces?" asked Hong Wu.
"It depends on the cultivation of a few of our brothers, once our brothers don't fight, we can only be beaten passively by relying on these brothers below. There is also a possibility that the army will not be able to collapse. ”
Zhu Guang didn't answer, what Hong Wu said was not wrong, it was a fact.
Don't look at Bai Xuanzhai's fierce reputation, in fact, the battles with some city defense forces with scale and combat effectiveness were won by their nine masters, and then with these minions.
After all, demon cultivators are not cabbages, and not every city defense army can be equipped with high-level demon cultivators.
Under normal circumstances, a demon cultivator of the Qi Refining Realm can appear in a team, and the strength of this city defense army can be said to be terrifyingly strong.
There are ten high-level demon cultivators in Baixuanzhai, one transcendent realm, and nine god refining realms.
This configuration has already killed most of the city guards in seconds.
What's more, the level of the city guard army and the level of the field army are another notch worse.
Whether it is in terms of combat experience, the quality of soldiers, or the configuration of weapons, the city guards are several grades lower.
The combat effectiveness of 100,000 city guards may only be equivalent to the combat effectiveness of 20,000 field troops.
"No matter how bad the grass nest is, it's also your own house. Big brother, don't you feel uncomfortable looking up to people by doing this?"
Zhang Ming, who had been pulling his face just now, spoke out at this time, regardless of whether Chu Ke was still standing aside, and said the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"You use the wrong word, right?" Chu Ke said.
"I sincerely invite all of you from Baixuanzhai to join my army. If it weren't for that, I would have lined up my troops to fight a long time ago, and I still need to do all those things before?"
Zhang Ming glanced at Chu Ke coldly, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, whether you can beat it down or not." But now that you are in Baixuanzhai, whether you can leave or not is also two words. ”
"Tenth brother, don't be unreasonable!" Hong Wu scolded.
But this Zhang Ming didn't listen to his eldest brother's words at all.
I saw Zhang Ming turn over his hand and pull out a long sword, and in an instant, the sword was across Chu Ke's neck.
"The surname is Bian, I don't care who you are, but don't want to get involved in our Baixuanzhai. Zhang Ming said coldly.
"If you want to use Bai Xuanzhai as a gunman, I advise you to die of this heart. ”
When Hong Wu saw Zhang Ming's actions, he was about to get angry and pull Zhang Ming down on the spot.
But Chu Ke gave him a look and taught him not to act rashly.
"Do you think I want your Bai Xuanzhai to be cannon fodder for me?" Chu Ke smiled, and at this time Zhang Ming's sword was still hanging around his neck.
"You're wrong, I never had that idea. ”
"Then what do you think?" asked Zhang Ming.
"I need to give my army a stronghold, a stronghold that is strong enough to develop its power. Chu Ke said.
"I have only two attitudes towards the forces around this stronghold. Extinguish, or ambush. ”
"So, your attitude towards Bai Xuanzhai is to ambush you?" Zhang Ming asked.
Chu Ke nodded.
"Joke!" Zhang Ming seemed to have heard some big joke, "How can He De, whose surname is Bian, dare to say such a big thing?"
"Not to mention 5,000 people, it's 50,000 people, if you want to knock my Baixuanzhai down from the deciduous mountains, it's hard to reach the sky!"
"It's not hard to get to the top. Chu Ke shook his head and said, "It's as easy as a snap." ”
Zhang Ming's eyes turned red in an instant, and the sword across Chu Ke's neck seemed to be going to cut off Chu Ke's head in the next second.
But Chu Ke smiled slightly, and a vigorous aura emanated from his body, forcing Zhang Ming and his sword to gently retreat a few steps.
Zhang Ming was forced to take a few steps back and then stood firm, looking at Chu Ke incredulously.
Just now, he felt a momentum burst out from Chu Ke's body, and he pushed others back several steps alive.
And I resisted just now, but I felt like a mayfly shaking a tree.
All the power is exerted, and it is like a mud cow entering the sea.
"You, you ......" Zhang Ming was speechless in surprise.
Zhu Guang was also shocked, a little incredulous.
The strength that Chu Ke had shown before was just the appearance of the Body Refining Realm.
But this hand just now completely exceeded Zhang Ming's level.
Even his eldest brother Hong Wu, a master of the transcendent realm, can't do what he did just now.
"I have five thousand soldiers and horses, all of them are demon cultivators, and everyone's cultivation is comparable to your eldest brother. Chu Ke said.
At this point, the nine masters standing next to Chu Ke were all shocked.
"I can testify to that. Hong Wu said, "I have seen the army under the command of Mr., not to mention that its military appearance and armament are comparable to the field army of the Demon Venerable Palace." Even the cultivation of every soldier is much higher than mine. ”
Hong Wu is a demon cultivator in the middle stage of transcendence, and although Chu Ke's Xuanzi Camp is an immortal cultivator, they are all masters of entering the Holy Realm.
They only used aura to compete with Hong Wu, and it was not something that Hong Wu could win.
"This is impossible!" someone from the Nine Great Masters immediately shouted, "Even under the command of Jiang Hanming, the general of the Demon Venerable Palace, how many Demon Cultivator soldiers from the Transcendent Realm are there?"
"Demon cultivators in the transcendent realm are all capable of taking the position of captain, how can there be five thousand demon cultivators in the transcendent realm who are willing to be ordinary soldiers under one person?"
It seems that the people in this Baixuan Village are also well-informed.
I have a more or less understanding of the situation in the outside world.
"You're right, it's true. Most of the demon cultivators in the transcendent realm can hold the position of a captain. Chu Ke said.
"But the field army of the Demon Venerable Palace you are talking about, not the elite soldiers of my Ling someone. Oh forgot to say, I don't have a surname Fen, my surname is Ling, and the army under my command pursues a policy of elite soldiers. ”
"Every soldier who takes it out can hold a high position in other armies. ”
That's right, that's just the way it is.
Every person, every soldier in the expeditionary force.
It is more than enough to be a sentry commander or lieutenant in the coalition forces.
"Xuanzi Camp listens to orders!"
Chu Ke suddenly shouted, and suddenly countless people appeared on the school field in front of everyone.
It was dense, and the entire school field was filled in an instant.
As soon as the Xuanzi camp appeared, the monstrous momentum poured out.
On the entire school field of Baixuanzhai, a murderous aura belonging to the army rose to the sky.
The bandits on the side were scared to the point of weakness.
"Everyone, look, this is Ling's soldiers and horses. Chu Ke stood on the high slope, looking at the Xuanzi camp on the school ground, full of spirit.
"Five thousand, everyone can be a general's vanguard!"
Facts speak louder than words, when Chu Ke's Xuanzi Battalion collectively appeared.
Zhang Ming, Zhu Guang and the others knew that the army in front of them, even if Bai Xuanzhai's strength was ten times stronger, was not their enemy.
If Chu Ke is in trouble now, within a stick of incense, everyone up and down this Baixuan Village will evaporate.
Zhang Ming's eyes were full of irrepressible shock, and the five thousand people in the Xuanzi Battalion, although there was not much aura emanating from each person, it was very fierce.
And when five thousand people exude the same fierce aura at the same time.
The effect produced is definitely greater than one plus one.
"Everyone, can you believe it now?" Chu Ke turned around and looked at Zhu Guang and the other nine masters of Bai Xuanzhai.
Zhu Guang looked at Zhang Ming and then at the others.
I thought that Chu Ke's invitation would definitely not be a ploy.
How can a person with this ability use a trick on a person like Bai Xuanzhai who has no background and no strength?
I don't have anything to make others plot.
"Mr. Chu Ke, I still don't know something, and I hope Mr. will advise. Zhu Guang hugged his fists.
"Say it. Chu Ke knew that as long as the doubts of the people in Baixuanzhai were dispelled, his plan to surrender without a fight would be completed.
"Bai Xuanzhai is of no use to Mr., ah no, to the general. Why does Sir want to ambush us like this?" Zhu Guang asked, he really didn't understand in his heart.
With the strength of this Xuanzi battalion, it is not difficult for Chu Ke to take Baixuanzhai without injuring a single soldier, right?
