Chapter 306: A Brutal Sentinel Battle
In the camp of Chunyang Palace, Lu Yan and several other high-level officials are discussing, after the test a few days ago and the first wave of attacks today, Lu Yan has figured out the strength of Tianyun Prefecture, the 50,000 horses on the opposite side are the elite of Tianyun Prefecture, although they are weaker than their side, but they are not the kind that can be crushed at will, and there is still the strength of a battle.
"A small piece of territory, more than 70,000 elites have been gathered, the potential of this Tianyun Prefecture is really terrifying, if we don't kill Tianyun Prefecture this time, our three kingdoms will indeed have no chance to suppress them in the future."
"Ancestor, our people have found out that Tianyun Prefecture has borrowed a lot of debts from major firms, at least tens of millions of Xuanjing, which has greatly increased their strength, do we also have to learn from them?"
"Muyang, this trick Tianyun Prefecture does, we can't do it, Tianyun Prefecture can use Dao Ji Dan as a guarantee, what do we use as a guarantee, and the interest rate is so high, it's not cost-effective"
Lu Yan shook his head and said, the matter of the Heavenly Saint Sect's loan in Gongming City can't be hidden, and they have already found out, but Lu Yan just thought about it and refused.
The reason is very simple, there are many interests on their side, the three overlord sects plus a series of vassals, there are dozens of people who say it, if they win, the spoils of war will be paid to those merchants, what will those forces do?
What's more, they don't have Dao Ji Dan as a guarantor, and without Dao Ji Dan, they don't know how many Xuan Jing they can borrow, so why bother to lose that face?
"Lu Laozu is right, in fact, with our current strength, as long as we are willing to pay the price, we can still win, the key is the question of how many people die"
"Mu Ying, are the other five states and counties still unwilling to send troops?"
"Back to the ancestors, they are all in a state of swaying, Tiannan Prefecture has been defeated too quickly, and the situation has changed overnight, which has frightened them, and the people and horses of the Night Owl of the Heavenly Saint Sect are constantly supporting the forces of the pro-Tianyun Prefecture, so they all chose to wait and see what happened."
"A group of wall grass, without my Pure Yang Palace to protect them for a thousand years, where did they come today, when it's over, don't let any of them go"
"Yes, Ancestor"
"Mu Ying, you have to work hard, don't let those night owls get too complacent, find a way to clean them up"
"Yes, Ancestor"
Lu Muying replied, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart, how many resources did the Pure Yang Palace give them in a year, and how many night owls did he have, he didn't have any effective manpower at all, it was not easy to maintain the current situation, and if he wanted to destroy the night owls, he didn't dare to think at all, unless the sect started to give them millions of resources every year to have a chance.
"What's the news from Wu Lao Zu?"
"It's still the same, there is no big war, there are small battles every day, Wu Laozu didn't look for Li Muxue to fight again, the reason is the same, saying that Li Muxue is a madman, and he wants to die with him"
"Wu Muyang is really shameless, Li Muxue has broken through the aura in less than five years, he is a veteran monk of the ninth layer of the aura, he was forced to be like this by a junior, and he didn't want to lose face."
"Old Ancestor Lu, for this Li Muxue, how much research do you have, this person was unknown before, and he suddenly became famous after Daogang, what is the way of the end, she is younger than Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao's rise is about two hundred years, before the rise, he was just a disciple of the Heavenly Saint Sect, but he was just a hairy boy, so there would be civil strife before the Heavenly Saint Sect, that is to say, Lin Xiao's age is two hundred and thirty-four, and he broke through the spiritual light more than twenty years ago and is in his early two hundreds, this Li Muxue may be less than two hundred years old."
Yun Shaoyang said on the side, he broke through the aura at the age of three hundred years and was known as the first genius of the countries in the southwest of Nanzhou, but Lin Xiao was much more confused than him, and now there is another Li Muxue, which makes him very unhappy, is there so many geniuses?
"Li Muxue's information is indeed not much, I only know that she is Lin Xiao's first apprentice, she was well hidden before, after returning from the White Jade City of Qi State, she is a Daogang monk, and she is also a fourth-order alchemist, she has robbed us of a lot of business, and in about a hundred years, she has broken through to the spiritual light, and she will break through to the first layer in eleven or twelve years, so it can be guessed that her qualifications are absolutely superb, whether it is a Dao body, it is unknown."
Lu Yan said the conjecture in his heart, the best spiritual root, coupled with all kinds of treasures that increase qualifications, can be improved again, reaching the level of some low-ranking Dao bodies, and the cultivation speed is extremely fast, but I don't understand what the specific Dao body is, because this kind of talent is not in the Pure Yang Palace.
"Tianyun Prefecture is really prosperous"
"No matter how strong your luck is, it's useless, Yun Ancestor, where are your centaurs?"
"I arrived in Jingzhou an hour ago, and it will take me ten days at most."
Yun Shaoyang replied, among the second batch of reinforcements from the Heavenly Eclipse Country, the main ones are the Pulse Opening and Condensing Cultivators, their speed can't be very fast, it's almost hundreds of miles a day, and there are still about six thousand miles to get here in Jingzhou, and it's almost ten days.
"Later, I will send an order to go back, let the Pure Yang Palace prepare a batch of dragon horses and the like to help transport them, speed up, the rest of the states and counties are unreliable, and now there are only Daoists who rely on the Eclipse Country"
"Okay, I'll send the order back so that they can do a good handover"
"Wu Muyang's side also wants Cui Yi to urge, the battle situation is so anxious, it is very unfavorable to us, the daily consumption of sixty or seventy thousand monks eating horses and chewing is too great"
Lu Yan nodded, they have nearly 70,000 people, not to mention anything else, the daily consumption of spiritual rice alone is hundreds of thousands of catties, and now it has only been ten days, and the spiritual rice savings in Baiyan Prefecture have been exhausted, and they have begun to ask for the support of the Pure Yang Palace, and the consumption is really too great.
"Report, report to the ancestor, Tianyun Prefecture has sent hundreds of rangers to drive our cavalry scouts in the gap of the battlefield, and if you want to cover the battlefield, please ask the ancestor to make a decision"
"Sentinel war, is Tianyun Prefecture crazy, play sentinel war with us?"
When Lu Yan heard this, he was immediately a little stunned, taking elite disciples out to play sentry and probe battles, this is a very unwise choice, in terms of elite disciples, how can Tianyun Prefecture compare to the Pure Yang Palace?
"Old Ancestor Lu, will this be deceitful, Lin Xiao has always been shrewd, but he is not like a person who can make stupid moves"
"I don't know, but since he made a move, we can't sit still, Lu Muyang"
"In, Ancestor"
"Go and pick up the centaurs, play sentry battle with him, remember, there are one or two more people than them, too many I am afraid to scare them away"
Lu Yan immediately ordered, if Tianyun Prefecture was stuck in Lingshan, he really didn't dare to attack at any cost, these sixty or seventy thousand people were not his Pure Yang Palace family, if there were too many dead people, the rest of the people would not do it, if there were too many people in the Pure Yang Palace, he would not do it himself.
Therefore, this kind of sentinel battle is exactly what Lu Yan wants, there are not many dead people, and it can weaken the power of Tianyun Prefecture, and it can also give full play to the advantages of the great sect of Pure Yang Palace.
·········
The two sides add up to more than 100,000 people, it is impossible to be only in one area, but distributed in a very broad area, Tianyun Prefecture has seized a spiritual mountain, according to the mountain, several mountains echo each other from afar, not only occupy the geographical advantage, but also have the cover of the mountain protection array.
As for the Chunyang Palace, the camp is set up in a plain area thirty miles in front of Lingshan, and the camp formed by more than 60,000 people is more than ten miles long, which also echoes before and after, supporting each other.
The thirty miles of plains in the middle plus more than a dozen miles of mountains are the battlefields where the two sides are fighting fiercely, and both sides want to compete for the initiative in the war, so they must cover their sight and spy on the enemy's camp to see if there are any loopholes that can be exploited.
At this time, each side sent hundreds of people and horses, these people and horses in groups of three or five, seven or eighty-one teams, or riding flying demon beasts, or riding dragon horses, galloping wildly in the plains, coming and going, fighting each other.
"Senior brother, the other party's sentry is here again, this time it's six people, and there are four people left on our side"
"How many runes do you have left?"
"Not much, I still have five"
"I still have six"
"I only have two"
"It's enough to fight again, leave the other party behind, and we'll go back to the camp, a Purple Mansion monk has at least five thousand merits, and we have to work hard for Dao Ji Dan"
The monks at the head thought for a moment and decided to fight again, and they came out with nine people, and now there were only four left, but no one wanted to back down.
They are all Heavenly Saint Sect's Purple Mansion cultivators, and now there are almost three hundred people in the Heavenly Saint Sect's Purple Mansion, and Dao Ji Dan plus Xuan Huang Baoyu's treasures that have broken through Dao Gang have only a dozen in forty years, so they are extremely competitive, and if they want to go further, if there is no one to support them, then they have to work hard themselves.
Therefore, the war, for these monks who have no backing, is an opportunity, and only by establishing meritorious service in the war can they have a chance to obtain the Dojidan.
"Rush"
With the greeting of the leading monk, the four of them all rode wild on dragon horses, and when the two sides approached, a round of spirit runes was smashed out, and then the two sides dismounted and fought.
The cultivation of the Purple Mansion monks is not enough, and they can't fight in mid-air, so the combat method is still hand-to-hand combat, relying on the equipment of both sides in addition to the monk's cultivation martial arts.
The equipment of the disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect has always been the envy of all sects, but at this time, the enemy is also the elite of the Pure Yang Palace, so this advantage is not very big, and the next thing to fight is the control of the martial arts of both sides.
"Poof"
The monk led by the Heavenly Saint Sect held a giant sword in his hand and split the opponent, and the blood sprayed all over him, but he just wiped the blood on his face and rushed to the next person's side.
"Withdraw"
Six to four, but when three people were killed in the battle on the side of the Pure Yang Palace, the remaining three had already collapsed, and the Heavenly Saint Sect did not pursue it, as soon as the enemy's scattered magic weapons were collected, and the other party's storage bag was picked, he immediately picked up the wounded, jumped on the dragon horse and ran.
Battles like this happen all the time in this area, the condensation veins of both sides, the Purple Mansion level monks are falling every moment, and sometimes some corpses or injured flying monsters will fall from the sky.
However, no matter how large the casualties of the sentinel battle were, they were not as large as the casualties of the large-scale battle, so the two sides still continued to invest the monks in it, and fought extremely fiercely.
