Chapter 763: Alone in the depths
The Hundred Treasure Sect and the Infinite Gate were even more tenacious than Xie Yunfei imagined, and after the protective shield was breached, they still resisted stubbornly in the Big and Small Peng Mountains for more than a day, trying to inflict a lot of damage on Nanzhou.
For their purpose, Lin Xiao also knew that it must have been the Immortal Alliance that gave their high-level cultivators some promises, such as advanced strategic treasures, so they were willing to complete the tasks of the Immortal Alliance even if they didn't even need the foundation.
However, their stubborn resistance was destined to be tragic, and after a day and a half, most of the monks in the line were killed, and the remaining monks completely collapsed, and all the monks turned and fled.
Most of the monks who escaped were heading east, in the direction of the Hundred Treasures Sect or the mountain gate of the Wuliang Gate, and a few were heading south, going to the Shenmu Sect to temporarily avoid the limelight, and in their limited cognition, the Shenmu Sect was a behemoth, enough to ensure their safety.
Lin Xiao sent thirty men and horses to drive those remnants all the way to the east, not fast or slow, he followed behind them, and from time to time rushed to kill for a while, making them tired and unable to stop.
In this way, after three days, the mountain gate of the Hundred Treasure Sect was rushed by the chaotic soldiers, and Tan Minglun, who commanded it, easily broke through the Hundred Treasure Sect, if there were no monks left, the Hundred Treasure Sect could be declared extinct.
The rebellious soldiers of the Hundred Treasure Sect and the rebellious soldiers of the Infinite Sect gathered together, Tan Minglun repeated his old tricks and continued to drive them away, the Infinite Sect knew that this was a trap, and he could only grit his teeth and fight, you must know that a considerable number of these chaotic soldiers are the Infinite Sect and its vassals, if they are not accepted, then the Infinite Sect has no future.
The Infinite Sect blocked everything, and put all the 300,000 horses under the Boundless City, leaving many passages between the battle arrays, leaving those rebellious soldiers to pass through and enter the city.
Tan Minglun chased all the way, and there must be a lot of men and horses left on the road to collect the prisoners and loot, and when he chased to the bottom of the boundless city, he only had 200,000 horses in his hands.
Tan Minglun urgently contacted Lin Xiao with the Lingying Jade Book, and Lin Xiao's answer was only one sentence, hit, hurry up, attack.
Although Lin Xiao was not present, he could also know how frightened the monks of the Infinite Gate were at this time, hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated and retreated, not to mention these old, weak, sick and disabled people they left behind, don't look at their 300,000 men, but I am afraid that only half of them can really fight, and the rest are dispensable monks.
Tan Minglun got Lin Xiao's order, and slowly began to slow down, and in the slow march, officers at all levels began to adjust their positions and slowly assembled into a battle formation.
This kind of ability also takes a long time to practice, like the kind of emergency training for a month or two, although it can form a battle formation, but there is absolutely no ability to form a battle formation during the march.
So by the time Tan Minglun walked to the foot of Wuliang City, he already had three battle formations in his hands, adding up to 100,000 horses, and the remaining 100,000 people were too scattered to form a battle formation, so they didn't need to be transferred to both sides.
"Battle, attack"
"Knock, knock, knock, knock"
The war drums rumbled, the 100,000 army was divided into three battle formations, and pressed forward, the high-level of the Wuliang Sect looked at it, their faces turned pale, their men and horses were more, but after training, only 30,000 people could assemble the battle array, and the rest were all rabble, and even these 100,000 people couldn't beat them.
He quickly informed the rest of the high-level officials, telling them not to stay, and quickly go to the mountain gate of the Infinite Sect, and take away the wealth in the city that can be taken away, and destroy what can't be taken away on the spot, he can only hold on for a while.
The high-level leaders who had just entered the Infinite City and took a breath were suddenly shocked, but they were also extremely decisive, and immediately ordered a retreat, and plundered the troops, the Infinite Gate was about to be finished, and no one would care about things like credibility at this time, and the city suddenly cried and shouted, and thick smoke billowed out.
"Old Ancestor Tan, you see, there is a fire in the city"
"It's not good, it's the Infinite Sect that is ready to abandon the city, this is all Lao Tzu's trophies, the battle array will speed up the attack and kill them, the left and right armies will take a detour, don't let one go"
"The left army detours to the left, the right army detours to the right, don't let any of them go, kill them"
"Kill"
50,000 monks on both sides overwhelmingly detoured to the left and right, and the main force of the battle formation was desperately attacking, the 30,000 battle array was not their opponent at all, in less than half an hour, the battle array collapsed, countless monks died, the battle array in Tan Minglun's hand, every attack could harvest hundreds of lives, and the people of Wuliang City completely collapsed.
Tan Minglun disbanded a battle formation of 20,000 people, allowing them to freely pursue and kill the enemy army, and the remaining 80,000 people rushed into the Infinite City to stop the enemy army, and the entire Infinite City seemed to have fallen into the boundless hell, and all kinds of tragedies continued to occur.
In the big and small Peng Mountain, Lin Xiao sat in the central command, and sent A Qing to lead 200,000 horses to the east again to collect the booty and prisoners, and at the same time let Bai Zichen lead 300,000 horses to the north to flank the enemy in Lingbao Mountain, and then send Ma Langfei's army to the south, and sent Tan Minglun to the south to attack the Five Elements Sect to explore the way for the army, and the rest of the men and horses were sitting in the big and small Peng Mountain.
"Master, the Hundred Treasure Sect and the Infinite Gate have been captured, and Master doesn't seem to be very happy."
Jia Mengran came to Lin Xiao's face, looked at Lin Xiao frowning and looking at the map of Zhongzhou, and asked softly.
"After breaking through the Hundred Treasure Sect and the Infinite Gate, the territory under our control has reached a radius of 70,000 li, such a large territory, our manpower is not enough, if we continue to go south, there will be a danger of going deep alone"
"This, it seems to be yes, if the Immortal Alliance supports the Hundred Treasure Sect and the Infinite Sect to make a comeback, our back road will be in danger, master, what can we do?"
"So I'm going to leave you in the big and small Peng Mountains and Liuhua Mountain, I'll give you 200,000 horses first, and then the more than 300,000 horses gathered in Tianyun City will also be given to you, and you have to guard the back road for the master."
"Master, don't worry, as long as I don't die, there won't be any danger in the back road."
"Okay, I believe you, let Yunshuang come in"
"Yes"
Soon, Bu Yunshuang came, Lin Xiao asked him to draw up a few orders, asking Tan Minglun to gather people and horses back quickly, the Wuliang Sect side is too close to the main force of the Immortal Alliance to prevent being defeated, and the same is true for Ma Langfei's side, to quickly go south.
With Lin Xiao's order, Tan Minglun gave up on breaking through the mountain gate of Wuliangzong, returned with a large amount of loot and tens of thousands of prisoners, and personally led an army of 100,000 to break off.
Ma Langfei was faster than Tan Minglun, and he led the vanguard to the area of Xiaopeng Mountain in just three days, the enemy of Lingbao Mountain was already struggling to support, as soon as Bai Zichen arrived, he instantly collapsed the fighting spirit, Ma Langfei led the vanguard to arrive, and the team of men and prisoners will arrive later.
"Lord Lin League, a big victory, Kunlun already knows that there will be a lot of resources for the labor army"
"You're welcome, can Ma Laozu still be the lord of the Qin State now?"
"Haha, it's nature"
"Let's discuss our next steps."
Lin Xiao nodded, Ma Langfei, as the ancestor of the Tianyue Sect, could be the lord of the Qin State, so the two of them could decide the major affairs of the Southern Continent Alliance.
"In the next few days, the more than 3 million troops of the Southern Continent Alliance will gather in this area, if we continue to go south, this territory with a radius of 70,000 li will become our rear, no matter what we occupy or what, we need time to digest, we don't have this time, so we will definitely go deep alone, Ma Laozu, what do you think we will do?"
"There is danger in the back road"
"That's true, although I will order some men and horses to stay, but it is difficult to say whether I can stop the Immortal Alliance army, once this happens, then our logistics supply will be in danger, and the situation is the same as that of Ziyunguan."
"Lord Lin Meng, I know that you have heaven and earth in your heart and have a plan, you can just say it"
"Okay, then I'll just say, according to preliminary statistics, we killed at least 500,000 enemy troops in this battle, captured more than 100,000, and the resources are not counted, so we must bring enough consumption at one time, and we must divide up these spoils first."
"It's the little things"
"No, this is a big deal, and unfairness is our greatest danger, so when the time comes, I will convince the heads of various countries to support Ma Laozu."
"The Qin State is definitely on the side of the Lord of the Lin League"
"Then I'll be relieved"
Lin Xiao nodded, he didn't want to divide the spoils privately, but he was still afraid that the rest of the monks would have opinions, once they felt that Lin Xiao was unfair, then Nanzhou would be in danger of splitting, after all, Nanzhou was a loose alliance, and Lin Xiao's Yiyantang still needed support.
A few days later, the various departments returned one after another, and Lin Xiao had already ordered the counting of the loot, magic weapons, spirit runes, formations, and pills, which could be used immediately, were quickly packed and taken away, while the loot such as those ores, elixirs, and martial arts were quickly transported back to Nanzhou, along with the seriously injured.
Lin Xiao also convened a high-level meeting of the Nanzhou Alliance again, and talked about the future strategy, with the support of the Qin State, most people understood Lin Xiao, as for a small number of people, Lin Xiao did not have time to lobby them.
In this battle, Nanzhou won a very large amount, not counting the rest of the resources, there are more than 200 million Xuanjing alone, it can be said that the Nanzhou Alliance not only did not lose money, but made a profit, which will also become the driving force for Nanzhou to continue to fight.
After everyone arrived, Lin Xiao continued to reorganize the people, and the well-formed team went south first, and those who were incomplete because of the battle damage continued to stay and practice, Lin Xiao's philosophy has always been to be elite soldiers, not a group of rabble.
The spoils of the wounded have begun to be transported back to Nanzhou, but there is still a problem in front of Lin Xiao and the others, that is, the problem of prisoners, in this battle, they have captured more than 100,000 prisoners, mainly monks below the spiritual light, how to deal with these prisoners, is a difficult problem.
Although the alliance is opposed, these people have no life-and-death feud with Nanzhou before, if they are all killed, it will inevitably hurt the heavens and peace, Lin Xiao can slaughter thousands of people on the battlefield, but he can't attack the defenseless people.
It's not to put it, it's not to kill, Lin Xiao had no choice but to throw the pot, first seal everyone's cultivation, and then send someone to Kunlun, don't say hello to Lu Leiyuan first, the flying boat is almost to Kunlun, Lin Xiao informed Lu Leiyuan.
