Chapter 260: Horizontal Strike
Before Lin Xiao arrived at the border, Tianyun Prefecture and Chunyang Palace were afraid of each other, there were only three thousand truly loyal people in Chunyang Palace, and the remaining more than eight thousand people were people from Baiyan Prefecture and Tiannan Prefecture, not only the combat effectiveness was worrying, but also loyalty was a problem, and without training, their only advantage was that there was one more Daogang monk, and two people came to Chunyang Palace, and they dispatched Daogang Ancestors from Tiannan Prefecture and Baiyan Prefecture.
On the other hand, Tianyun Prefecture is fighting on two fronts, and the incident happened in a hurry, not fully mobilized, only about 10,000 people from the five sects, and Daogang monks only have Langdao, Mo Youwei and Condensation, they are all afraid that the Pure Yang Palace will take the initiative to attack, and they will not be able to stop it and burn the flames of war in Tianyun Prefecture.
Therefore, the situation is strangely balanced, no one dares to act rashly, they are all silently preparing, Tianyun Prefecture is busy dispatching troops, and Chunyang Palace is beginning to train people, and at the same time urging the rest of the states and counties to send men and horses to support.
But in the end, it was Lin Xiao who arrived first, and Lin Xiao not only came over with 5,000 men, but also brought two Daogang monks, Li Mingyang and Li Muxue.
It has been more than seventy years since Li Mingyang broke through Daogang, and his cultivation reached the third layer of Daogang ten years ago, the speed is not fast or slow, but it is better than the same.
Now that both the high-end combat power and the strength of the troops are stronger than the other party, Lin Xiao has nothing to fear, and after two days of rectification, he immediately launched an attack.
Lin Xiao took 3,000 surrendered troops and 2,000 Tianyunzhou monks as the vanguard, and attacked the opponent's camp under the cover of fifty large crossbow arrows, five god-destroying crossbows, and five Xuanjing cannons.
The research of the Heavenly Saint Sect's Xuanjing Cannon was not going well, even if Lin Xiao took out the drawings, it was useless, because there was a lack of fourth-order refiners, so these were all purchased in the Qin State through the channels of the Night Owl, and they were bought back when the Great Change in the Kingdom of Defense.
"Boom, boom, boom"
In the first round of attacks, the protective shield of the opponent's camp was crumbling, this was a fourth-order large array, but it was arranged on the second-order spiritual vein, and it all relied on Xuanjing to make up for the energy, so it depended very much on the level of the array mage.
And obviously, the clever array mages of the Pure Yang Palace did not come, at least the fourth-order array mages did not appear, relying on a group of second- and third-order formation mages, the ability of this mountain protection array was much weaker.
"Offense"
"Sortie"
The commander of the Pure Yang Palace obviously also knew that the large array was unreliable, and when he saw thousands of people coming out, he also organized thousands of people to meet him.
"Don't stop the large crossbow arrows, the Xuanjing cannon and the god-destroying crossbow, break the opponent's protective shield, the first battle will determine the winner, the second team, on"
"Yes"
Li Mingyang led 3,000 men around the flank to attack the enemy's camp, and Chunyang Palace sent another 2,000 men to meet them, so far, they have sent 5,000 men.
"Condensation"
"In"
"You lead the third team of three thousand people, go around to the left flank, attack"
"Yes, third team, follow me"
Condensation led another 3,000 people to attack on the flank, and the Pure Yang Palace had to send 2,000 people to resist Condensation's attack again, otherwise the big array would be broken.
"Mo Daoyou"
"Master Lin, please command"
"Lead 3,000 men to support the frontal battlefield, be sure to entangle them, and then divide and surround them"
"Obedience"
Mo Youwei led 3,000 people to attack, three battlefields, only the frontal battlefield Tianyun Prefecture was in a weak position, the surrender army of 3,000 people was too rubbish, and they were not willing to die for Tianyun Prefecture before they paid attention.
However, after Mo Youwei dispatched 3,000 people, they couldn't retreat even if they wanted to, and they were quickly surrounded by Mo Youwei and his people, and then a team of men and horses rushed through the crowd, scattering large pieces of enemy troops, surrounding, dividing, and then annihilating.
The enemy's commander had to command the men and horses on the left and right flanks, wanting to rescue the frontal battlefield, but the men and horses on the two wings were already weaker than Tianyun Prefecture and could not rush out at all.
"Boss, there are 2,000 people from the enemy's camp, and there are only about 2,000 people left in the entire camp at most, and most of them are old and weak, and all those who can fight have come out."
"I see, Zhang Mingrui"
"In"
"Taking Command"
"Yes"
"Yuan Ruoyun"
"In"
"Take 500 disciples of this sect and follow me to raid the enemy's camp"
"Yes, Master"
Lin Xiao threw out a medium-sized flying boat, and then five hundred disciples jumped up, Lin Xiao launched the flying boat, and immediately crossed the battlefield several kilometers long and came to the sky above the opponent's camp.
"Boom, boom, boom"
Lin Xiao shot arrows in a row, and the three arrows were all shot at the same point, and a hole immediately burst out of the mountain protection array, Lin Xiao drove the flying boat and rushed in, and the five hundred disciples quickly rushed out again.
"One hundred to the left, one hundred to the right, sweep the formation nodes, and the rest will rush with me"
"Come with me, kill"
"Here, it's time to earn merit points for meritorious service, kill"
Yuan Ruoyun and another Purple Mansion twelve-layer cultivator each led a hundred people to rush to the left and right, these five hundred people were all elite disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and there were even fewer of them at the second or third level of the condensation vein, basically above the fifth layer of the condensation vein.
Lin Xiao himself was even more unstoppable, and quickly rushed towards the formation center of the big camp, Lin Xiao was a fourth-order formation mage, and the formation center was seen through by Lin Xiao at a glance.
"Thief, Anderson is rampant"
"It's too long-winded, die"
The last Daogang monk in the camp came out to fight, Lin Xiao naturally faced him, this person cultivated to the tenth layer of Daogang, and he was already quite good, but in Lin Xiao's eyes, he was not a powerful character.
"Purple Eyes"
Lin Xiao didn't mean to fight at all, and as soon as he came, he used his stunt, and two purple lights shot out of his eyes, hitting the Daogang monk's magic weapon.
With a snap, the magic weapon broke away from the monk's control and fell to the ground, which made him extremely frightened, and he couldn't understand how the magic weapon he had used for hundreds of years could get out of his control.
He wanted to take another weapon out, but Lin Xiao didn't give him a chance, he had already rushed in front of him, swung his sword and slashed, breaking through the opponent's defense layer by layer.
"Poof"
When the protective shield was broken, a thin needle passed through his eyes, which was another stunt of Lin Xiao, and the thin needle was also a trophy.
The thin needle is quite special, not only specialized in breaking through defensive means such as protective shields, but also highly poisonous on it, the fine needle into the body, the Daogang monk suddenly felt paralyzed, it was already poisoning, and his body reacted slowly, Lin Xiao took the opportunity to take his life.
"Boom"
A little starlight was sprinkled, and the celestial phenomenon of the fall of Daogang Monk appeared.
As soon as this celestial phenomenon came out, the morale in the camp instantly fell to the extreme, and the high-ranking Daogang monks were invincible myths in their eyes, but now the Daogang monks had fallen, which made them extremely frightened.
"Boom, boom"
Yuan Ruoyun and their side also made contributions, as soon as the formation node was broken, the defense of the entire large array was extremely low, and it was easily broken by large crossbow arrows, and the monks of Baiyan Prefecture and Tiannan Prefecture began to disperse.
"Follow me, kickback"
Lin Xiao summoned the monks around him, turned around and rushed out, the big camp was gone, and the monks of the Pure Yang Palace who were fighting outside were also panicked, without the big camp, they would have no place to stay, which was extremely dangerous, especially the monks of Baiyan Prefecture and Tiannan Prefecture outside, who also began to disperse, and the Pure Yang Palace's supervising team couldn't stop it at all, and even they couldn't protect themselves.
After more than ten minutes, the collapse of a small number of people turned into a large-scale rout, and tens of thousands of people rushed to retreat to the rear, and the monks of Tianyun Prefecture took the opportunity to cover up and kill.
"Everyone, Ryoma has arrived, get on the horse and chase the enemy, kill"
At this time, the three beast monks of the Heavenly Saint Sect appeared with three thousand dragon horses, and immediately someone rushed forward, took the dragon horse and rushed, and the three thousand dragon horses began to crisscross the battlefield.
Unless the monks have cultivated a very high-level body martial arts, the least that can run and win the dragon horse is the Purple Mansion monk, in fact, if it is a second-order high-grade dragon horse, it is also a stable victory in terms of endurance, if a purple mansion rides a dragon horse to pursue the purple mansion, and it is in the plain area, then basically the horse riding monk wins.
The remaining three Daogang monks were taken care of, and the slightly stronger ones had two Daogang besieging them, while Lin Xiao was constantly pursuing with the large army.
Hundreds of monks were killed in the pursuit, and the remaining monks began to have a sense of recollection, they are not from the Pure Yang Palace, at most they are servant troops, and they have no big enmity with Tianyun Prefecture, why not surrender.
"Surrender to avoid death, lay down your arms, kneel and beg for mercy"
"Surrender to avoid death, lay down your arms, kneel and beg for mercy"
When the first monk who was about to surrender was seen by Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao shouted this sentence, and then the monk who was not riding a horse behind began to repeat, and a large number of monks began to surrender.
"Leave two thousand men to clean up the battlefield, capture the prisoners, and follow the rest"
Lin Xiao threw out the medium-sized flying boat again, this time more than a thousand people squeezed in, and Lin Xiao took the flying boat away.
The battle here is basically over, but Tiannan Prefecture must be punished, and now the mobile combat power of the entire Tiannan Prefecture is here, and there is no strong wall in the rear, and the monks are concentrated, which just gives Lin Xiao a chance to break through.
Lin Xiao led more than 1,000 people, and in one day, he broke through three sects in a row, killed the disciples who guarded the mountain, and looted the floating wealth, and those disciples who guarded the mountain did not expect that there would be enemies falling from the sky, and they were caught off guard by Lin Xiao.
A day later, the entire Tiannan Prefecture received an early warning and began to block the mountain gate and open the mountain protection array with all its might, so it was not so easy to fight, and Lin Xiao also withdrew and returned to the camp.
At this time, the pursuit battle was also over, under the mobile attack of three thousand dragon horse cavalry, among the tens of thousands of people, less than a thousand people could escape, and more than six thousand surrendered people, of which three thousand Pure Yang Palace monks were expected to be no more than three hundred, four Dao Gang killed two in battle, surrendered one, but let a Dao Gang monk of Chunyang Palace run away.
This Daogang monk retreated to the mountain gate of the Tiannan Prefecture Overlord Sect, and gathered all the horses with the double statement that Tiannan Prefecture Daogang died in battle and the order of the Chunyang Palace, plus the surrounding sects also had a premonition that the Tiannan Prefecture catastrophe was coming, and they all supported, and gathered more than 20,000 monks in the Overlord Sect again.
However, more than 20,000 people were already frightened, after all, they only had one Daogang, while the enemy had four intact and two injured Daogang, and they did not dare to fight at all, so they could only stick to the mountain gate.
