In Tianshui City, Luo Ming looked at the escorted captives, his eyes were full of coldness. After the destruction of Tianshui City, there were 6,000 southern soldiers who were captured alive, which was indeed a major victory, after Tianshui City was conquered, the entire southern border, except for Wanling Province, almost most of the important cities were captured, and the southern army was compressed and only five important strongholds remained, which was a very major blow to the Xun family.

Therefore, as long as they ensure that no external factors interfere with the plans of the Southern Chu State, the southern border is already in their pocket.

However, the accident still happened, the reinforcements from the north didn't know when they came, Luo Ming really didn't have any news, and even the news of Wanling Province was transmitted through Xinying only two days ago.

For the enemies of Seven Star City, Luo Ming can be said to be very cautious. The surprise attack not long ago did not have any effect, and when the city was about to be broken, thousands of cavalry in White Horse City came out and killed the Chinese army directly, disrupting his deployment and causing the siege to fail.

Fortunately, Luo Ming has always been cautious, seeing that no results have been achieved, and seeing that the enemy's support is rapid, Luo Ming led people to evacuate in time, and there was almost no loss.

But Luo Ming's heart was also full of shock, the little cubs he faced were all less than fifteen years old, and they put so much pressure on him, I have to say that there are really many talents, and heroes have been born since ancient times.

Luo Ming also felt that he was a little old, and he didn't know how many more years he could be on the battlefield. Thinking of this, Luo Ming felt that he should use prudent means to ensure that he would not end up defeated when he was about to say goodbye to the battlefield.

After thinking about it, Luo Ming finally thought of a very safe solution, that is, to use the method of a spiritual cultivator to solve it.

In times of war, if the ownership of a city is decided, it is also to avoid casualties among soldiers. In some cases, a duel of cultivators is used to solve the problem, usually the attacking side will send at least three cultivators to challenge, and if the defender agrees, both sides will duel with the same number of cultivators.

A duel of life and death also determines the ownership of the city.

But the attacker will also raise relative conditions, otherwise the defender will not have any benefit from winning or losing.

"Someone!"

Thinking of this, Luo Ming smiled coldly, and called his lieutenant general, in his army, there are many spiritual cultivators, he is also a spiritual cultivator, and it is not a problem to make up a team of spiritual cultivators, even under special needs, they will use spiritual cultivators as special combat team members.

"General, what's the matter? Are you going to launch an attack on Seven Star City? ”

The deputy general hurriedly ran in and asked, looking like he was gearing up, obviously after Tianshui City was conquered, Luo Ming's men were expecting Luo Ming to lead them to capture Seven Star City, so that they could be considered meritorious.

"No, you go and gather all the spiritual cultivators in our army who have cultivated above the spiritual level. I have useful ......."

Luo Ming completely lost the expression of the lieutenant general, and then ordered.

"Spiritual cultivators? General Fei is planning to ......"

The deputy general suddenly looked at Luo Ming with some surprise, generally a cultivator like Luo Ming who gathered the whole army, this is something important to do, and now, except for the enemies of Seven Star City, they have no opponents to speak of.

"Go ahead, don't speculate."

Luo Ming frowned and said, the last thing he liked was to be guessed about his thoughts. This is true even for the lieutenant who has followed him for many years.

"Yes, General!"

The deputy general suddenly panicked, hurriedly responded, and then retreated and quickly gathered all the cultivators in the army of the Southern Chu State in Tianshui City.

To say that in the Tianlong Continent, spiritual cultivators abound, an army, especially an army with a history of decades, is often composed of spiritual cultivators, at least two-thirds of the army under Luo Ming is spiritual cultivators, but there are less than six hundred spiritual cultivators above the spiritual master, after Luo Ming made his thoughts public, the vast majority of people were willing to participate in this operation.

Luo Ming carefully selected them, and finally selected thirty people to complete the task. The cultivation of these people is generally from the second order of the spirit priest to the eighth order of the spirit master, but in fact, when they cultivate to the stage of the spirit priest, they are already regarded as high-level spiritual cultivators.

After determining the candidates, Luo Ming ordered people to entertain these cultivators with good competition, and only after two days did they let them set off to challenge the Seven Star City, of course, in order to avoid these people from being surrounded and suppressed by Mu Youchen's army, so Luo Ming sent his deputy general to accompany him along with the heads or elders of some big families in Tianshui City, on the one hand, the people of these big families were taken hostages, and on the other hand, the people of these famous families were regarded as witnesses of this duel.

And these people had just acted, but Mu Youchen and them had already gotten the news.

If you want to talk about such a thing as intelligence, sometimes it really determines the life and death of an army.

Du Xiongfei's army has already infiltrated Tianshui City, and has received very important news, for the upcoming challenge, Mu Youchen and the others have also found that there is no reason why they should not face this battle after a simple discussion.

First of all, these people are wrapped in a large number of local famous families, although these people are hostages, but they also carry countless mouths, if this battle can be won, the heads of these famous families will definitely spread Mu Youchen's reputation for bravery, it can be seen that these famous families are a double-edged sword.

"If the news is correct, they sent thirty people, and all of them are above the spirit priest, counting it, among us, there are only a dozen people who can take out the spirit monk cultivation, me and Jiayin, Youchen, counting the three of us, there are only seventeen people. However, I also know that this method of challenge is actually aimed at reducing the casualties of soldiers, but it is rarely used unless it is evenly matched. ”

Xun Langyu is also quite familiar with this situation, Xun Renjie once fought such a duel with the Southern Chu State, and the result was naturally a complete victory in the southern realm.

However, the most applicable situation for such a duel is when the two sides are evenly matched, and the commanders of both sides are more soldiers-loving.

But Luo Ming is obviously not among them, Luo Ming is known as a siege general, and he will invest a lot of troops every time he attacks the city. Almost every battle had to pay heavy casualties, such as this attack on Tianshui City, Luo Ming was purely based on human lives.

"We have few people, but our advantage is not small, and they obviously don't understand our strength. Sending these famous families is a good opportunity for our reputation to be promoted. ”

Mu Youchen said lightly, since it is a duel, it is natural that the principle of fairness must be adhered to, so the wheel war will not happen. There were seventeen of them, so the other side could only send seventeen people.

"More than 30 people are fighting each other, and fighting for a long time may not tell the winner. So we should choose carefully, and if the strength is poor, don't fight. lest the innocent lose their lives......"

Xun Langyu thought about it carefully before he said.

"Okay, let's do it, with me, it's basically a sure win. Arrange it, and let the famous families in Seven Star City also come to see it when the time comes......"

Mu Youchen knew that this duel was of great significance to them, so Mu Youchen had to make good use of this duel.
