Chapter 67: Soldiers

"Brother Ding Hao, what's wrong?" Zhao Yuhui asked out loud when she saw Ding Hao's frowning brows.

"Nothing. Someone came to bother. Before his words fell, he heard an extremely loud bang, and he could see a huge cloud of smoke and dust not far away, obviously someone was fighting there, and then thinking of the current position, it was likely that the army of Great Xia was facing the enemy.

Since it was a place of right and wrong, he already had the heart to avoid it, but the place just now was a necessary place for the way, and if he wanted to make a detour, he might have to walk up several peaks.

After all, he is not a holy realm, and he can't fly with qi, and even if he is in the holy realm, it doesn't mean that all holy realms can fly with qi, and they need to perceive different energies, but compared to cultivators below the holy realm, holy realm cultivators have more means, such as Master Ananda, although he can't fly in the air, but his physical body is extremely strong, and he can often escape a few miles away with one step, which is not much different from the speed of flying in the sky. It's just that Ding Hao is far from being able to do this now, and he is still taking Zhao Yu with him at this time, and he will walk much slower. So he thought twice about staying where he was.

The roar not far away didn't last long before it was extinguished, and it seemed that it should be an encounter or an ambush by a small force.

In these 100,000 mountains, the huge army cannot be used, and the methods of the hundred tribes are strange and endless, and it is not suitable for large-scale combat methods.

Not long after, more than a dozen people appeared in front of Ding Hao, and the situation was extremely depressed, led by a middle-aged man, with a tired face, but his body was still upright, full of the breath of a soldier.

Ding Hao secretly praised in his heart, such a man is a soldier, and it is precisely because of this that he did not avoid it.

The few people on the opposite side were obviously defeated and were retreating, but seeing that the opponent's formation was chaotic, some of them were wounded, but they still maintained the state of fighting and seemed to be quite well-trained.

These people obviously didn't expect to meet Ding Hao and the two of them halfway, they were stunned, and the person at the head immediately said: "We are the southern army of Daxia Town, we have been attacked by the enemy, and there are pursuing soldiers in front, please evacuate quickly." ”

He couldn't figure out why there was a man and a woman in this place, and the woman was apparently only a teenager.

Then he saw the other party raise the barbecue in his hand and said, "I am a guest from afar, and I invite you to eat meat." ”

He was completely stunned, and just wanted to shout and let the other party leave quickly, but when he saw the other party's determined expression, he seemed to realize something, and finally didn't say anything more. The people who can appear here at this time, except for the army, are basically masters of the Holy Realm. But seeing that the other party was so young, he naturally had a lot of questions in his heart.

These people are indeed hungry, although cultivators can reduce their dependence on food, it does not mean that they do not need to eat, and especially these middle and low-level soldiers, their cultivation is basically above the Qi Sea Realm and the lower level of the True Yuan Realm, even if the middle-aged man who is in the lead, his cultivation is only the tenth layer of the True Yuan Realm.

The True Yuan Realm is the main combat power of the huge army of the Great Xia Dynasty, although in the eyes of Ding Hao now, the ten layers of the True Yuan Realm are nothing, but the thousands of troops composed of the True Yuan Realm will become extremely terrifying, coupled with the huge army composed of the True Yuan Heavy Kai, various warships and various war weapons, it is the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty that can finally possess the world.

Even if the four lords have a heart of disobedience, but under such a huge army, they can only restrain their ambitions and dare not be blatant.

And the strength of the four lords can surpass the family, precisely because they have their own core army in their hands.

The army of Great Xia can be roughly divided into the Praetorian Guard, the border army, the valve private army, and the local garrison army, among which the Praetorian Guard has the strongest combat power, absolutely loyal to the royal family, and the border army is secondary, directly belonging to the royal family, and the valve private army is again, but what is the combat power of the valve private army, no one knows, as for the local garrison army, the combat power is naturally the worst, and the same forces are also the most, and almost all the major families have intervened in the local garrison.

The Praetorian Guard basically only takes the children of the imperial family and people who are absolutely loyal to the imperial family, while the local garrison army is just the opposite, there are all forces, and the combat power is weak, so the situation of the border army is the most concerned and attentive to all forces.

Although the border army directly belonged to the imperial family, after all, it was impossible for the millions of border troops to be all run by the children of the royal family, and it was impossible for the millions of border troops to be completely joined by the children of the family, otherwise with the current number of cultivators, it would not be possible to make up such a huge army.

Therefore, many times, everyone turns a blind eye, the royal family is like this, and the family is also like this. Therefore, although the royal family still maintains absolute power, it does not mean that the family does not have any influence in it.

For example, when the northwest rebelled, the rebel army was able to quickly defeat the Zhenxi army, because the inside and outside should be combined, the other party directly used a large number of masters to first contain the Zhenxi general Li Chengze, and quickly killed several high-level generals of the Zhenxi army, so that the dragons were leaderless, and the Zhenxi army was able to defeat the Zhenxi army.

But even so, the Zhenxi Army was still not completely defeated, and at least more than half of the formation still existed.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'll eat the meat later. The enemy came up, and the brothers lined up. ”

When his words fell, these dozen or so people quickly formed a formation on the spot, with three large shields in front, two wings for sword and shield soldiers, pikemen in the middle, and finally archers.

After a while, the pursuers had come up, and there were more than 100 people, and these 100 people were dressed in strange clothes, some wore leather skirts, some wore cloth clothes, and some were even half naked, and the weapons in their hands were also varied, such as sickles, long swords, spears, and even big sticks.

Two of the most majestic of them, a great height above the crowd, held a huge shield in their left hand and a huge mace in their right hand.

The cultivation of the Southwest Hundred Tribes is even more unsystematic, but many natives are often gifted, and the more systematic they are on the path of cultivation, the farther they will go, and there are many top masters in the Hundred Tribes who are even enough to compete with the top masters of the Great Xia Dynasty. It's just that after all, the population base of the hundred tribes is far inferior to that of Great Xia, and the war weapons and equipment are far inferior to Great Xia, so they have always been vassals of the Central Plains Dynasty.

But this does not mean that the warriors of the Hundred Clans will be weaker than the warriors of the Great Xia Dynasty, especially in such a mountain battle, they are familiar with the mountains and forests, and their combat power is far higher than that of the Great Xia army, and this kind of small-scale battle, if they can't beat it, they will run, and you can't catch up anyway. The most odious thing is that in the process of the march of the Great Xia army, all kinds of strange traps and methods can often cause the counterinsurgency army of Great Xia to suffer heavy losses.

Fortunately, in the southwest of Zhennan Junshi Town, many sergeants also have a good understanding of the tactics of the Hundred Tribes in the Southwest, and have their own methods to deal with them, so that a small force of more than a dozen people is specially used to deal with the war of the Hundred Tribes.

"Shoot the arrow!" With the order of the middle-aged officer, several archers shot with their bows full, this bow and arrow did not seem to be an ordinary bow and arrow, the bow and arrow were engraved with a lot of runes, and every time the bow was drawn, it could use the yuan force to produce a more powerful effect.

Several warriors of the Hundred Clans fell in response, and an angry roar erupted from the crowd on the other side, and the two most majestic men, holding huge shields, brandished maces, rushed forward.

With a few whooshing sounds, bows and arrows shot at the shields, and even some of them shot at the two men, bursting into a mist of blood, but the two of them seemed to ignore it and still charged forward.

Several short spears suddenly shot out of the crowd on the other side, and smashed directly on the big shield at the front of the Great Xia sergeant, making a crisp sound, although it did not break this battle formation, but it interrupted the rhythm of the Great Xia sergeant.

Roar, roar, roar!

When the other party saw the meritorious blow, everyone shouted, and the first two roared, and the mace waved for a while, blocking the long arrow that was fired.

"Charge!" The middle-aged general saw that the long arrow was ineffective, so he gave up decisively, and with an order, the whole war slowly pushed forward, and the archers at this time had already changed to long knives, ready to engage in white-knuckle combat.

On the battlefield, unless an individual's bravery is extreme force, it must be useless, no matter how great your ability is, it is impossible to kill an army, not to mention that there are magic weapons and masters in the army that are specially designed to deal with such cultivators.

There was a circle of black light shrouded in the entire battle array, which was the effect of the middle-aged general's true yuan.

The middle-aged general shouted, jumped up, and slashed the long sword in his hand at the person in front of him, instantly splitting that person in half.

Seeing that he was so brave, the other party paused in unison, and after a while, a more violent impact erupted.

At this time, among the warriors of the hundred clans, an old man opened his mouth and spit out, and a wisp of cold light instantly floated out and hit the middle-aged general.

He was just as he split another Hundred Clan warrior when he suddenly screamed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, obviously suffering a lot of injuries. At this time, a huge force came, and the mace slammed into his body, directly hitting him and falling back.

The soldiers on both sides quickly closed up and blocked the dense attack with three large shields, but after a while, the three large shields were shattered by the two majestic warriors, and even the person who held the shield spat blood from his mouth and could not support it.

The situation is precarious, although more than a dozen warriors of the Hundred Tribes have died, and one of the Great Xia soldiers has not died, but the battle formation is broken, and the other party is outnumbered, and it will only take a moment for these people to be wiped out.

All this happened very quickly, in a short period of time, the two sides immediately divided life and death, and the side that immediately lost life and death was these dozen or so Great Xia soldiers.

I couldn't bear it, and finally Ding Hao sighed and stood up.
