Ten days later, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the Yangzhou army, which was originally unable to defend it, opened the city gate and poured out from Linru City, and a column of energetic soldiers lined up in formation outside the city.

Lu Dai sat in the center of the army and commanded the army to move forward slowly. Dozens of miles to the opposite side of the city are mountains that stretch thousands of miles to the south. In front of this endless mountain forest, hundreds of thousands of Shanyue troops gathered here.

"Little brother, is there a pair of young soldiers and horses in Shanyue on the other side?" Gao Cheng, Xu Chu and Yu Ji stood on the city wall, and Yu Ji suddenly asked a young lieutenant next to him.

The captain glanced at Gao Cheng and saw that his lord didn't make any moves, so he replied cautiously: "Yuzhang's Shanyue is full of soldiers, about one million. However, a few days ago, the Lord of Heaven made a move and killed nearly 200,000 Shanyue with heavenly thunder, and there should be nearly 800,000 soldiers and horses in Shanyue on the other side!"

"With so many troops?, does Shanyue have so much grain and grass?" Yu Ji frowned slightly, although he was not very proficient in marching and fighting, he had also heard the truth that the three armies did not move the grain and grass first. In the past few days when I came to Linru, boatloads of grain, grass and material resources were continuously transported from Nanchang to the south.

The 300,000 troops of the Yangzhou army consume too many materials every day, even if there is a steady stream of replenishment, the whole army is also a little nervous, even the Yangzhou army is like this, where does the grain and grass in Shanyue come from?

The young lieutenant said: "The Taoist chief doesn't know, several county towns in the south of Linru have been looted by Shanyue, and a large amount of grain and grass has been looted from the people......

His answer did not surprise Gao Cheng.

Shanyue was still a little cautious at the beginning, looting a county town and temporarily retracting it, because the county seat in the south of Yuzhang and Shouchun were too far away, the situation of Shanyue's chaos did not come up at the first time. Seeing that the Yangzhou army did not react, Shanyue suddenly became emboldened and began to sweep the southern part of Yangzhou.

In this big war, we must beat Shanyue to the heart, break their backbone, if they let go of the other party easily, it will not be long before these Shanyue people are short of food and clothing, and they dare to continue to go down the mountain to make trouble.

Barbarians, afraid of power but not virtuous. This is what the sages have made clear......

Woooooooo

There was a dull sound of horns in the distance, and the Shanyue people immediately reacted when they saw the situation of the Yangzhou army leaving the city, and began to blow the horn, and countless young and strong, old people and sturdy women came out, holding javelins, spears and various weapons.

To the north of Linru are large rivers, and to the south are mountains. The further north you go, the more prosperous it is, and the further south you go, the more wild it is. It's like the dividing line between civilization and barbarism. If Linru City falls, Nanchang upstream will also be affected.

Nanchang is the seat of Yuzhang County, if Nanchang is lost, in the eyes of everyone, the entire Yuzhang County will fall into the hands of Shanyue. This situation could not hurt Yangzhou's vitality, but it had a huge impact on the reputation of Gao Cheng and Yangzhou's forces.

For the Yangzhou army, this battle cannot afford to lose. For Shanyue, if he can win this battle, he will be able to seize Yuzhang and have the opportunity to capture Huiji. Even with the help of Jingzhou soldiers and horses, it occupied half of Yangzhou.

Hundreds of thousands of Shanyue soldiers left the camp, and Gao Cheng noticed that in the middle of the black army, there were dozens of men and women with flowers and green colors painted on their faces. These men and women have a strange atmosphere, as if they are integrated with the mountains and forests behind them, and there is a trace of nature mixed in the weirdness.

"Priest Shangoe!" Gao Cheng's face moved slightly.

Yu Ji had already explained to him the cultivation of the Shanyue priests, in the Spring and Autumn Period of the last century, after the Yue Kingdom was destroyed, the remnants of the cultivators and the common people fled into the mountains, due to the need for survival, their cultivation methods integrated the characteristics of the mountains and forests, and slowly groped out a cultivation path that was very different from the Central Plains.

Curses, miasma, Gu worms, and all kinds of spells, strange and unpredictable, not weak.

"Fellow Daoist, it seems that all the nine great priests of Shanyue are here!" Yu Ji also saw the situation on the other side, and said with a somewhat solemn face.

"Daoyou cast a spell a few days ago, and wiped out the 200,000 Shanyue army in one blow, it should be Shanyue who knew the news, and he paid one-on-one is not the opponent of Daoyou, so he gathered so many priests......"

Gao Cheng listened to the other party's explanation, his face did not change, as early as the day before yesterday, he knew the news, after he entered Linru City, the reason why the Shanyue army did not move was that they were waiting for the nine great priests to come.

Rumble!

The armies of the two sides lined up separately, of course, the formation of hundreds of thousands of troops in Shanyue was not very good, and if they attacked each other, they would not be able to stop the assault of the 300,000 troops of the Yangzhou army.

The leaders and priests of Shanyue also understood this truth, so they were ready to strike first, and several shirtless leaders raised their heads to the sky and roared, and then each led tens of thousands of Shanyue young and strong elites out of the battle, holding wooden shields and spears and charging towards the Yangzhou army. It was as if the rocks had cracked and the flood had burst its banks. The black pressure of the Shanyue elite looked hideous, rushing to the front.

"Archers!

Lu Dai's expression was calm, and his raised right hand waved downward, accompanied by his command, swishing, and countless iron arrows formed a torrential rain from the sky. Fluttering, countless Shanyue soldiers screamed, their bodies were pierced by long arrows, and they fell to the ground with blood overflowing.

"Crossbow Bolts Ready!"

......

The 300,000 Yangzhou army and the hundreds of thousands of Shanyue were fighting each other, and the killing aura rushed into the sky, forming an incomparably rich pale red aura in the void.

The more intense the fight, the richer the evil qi became, and along with the evil qi and the rich power of fate appeared in the invisible void. At the end of the war, no matter who wins or loses, Gao Cheng will be able to get a lot of fate points through the gate of fate.

"Yu Daoyou, it's time for us to make a move!"

Gao Cheng didn't observe the battle of the army below, but focused most of his attention on the dozens of priests. In his senses, dozens of priests on the opposite side were connected with each other, as if they had cast some kind of secret spell and were preparing a powerful spell.

If you wait for the right method to be completed, your own army will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

"Good!"

Yu Ji also noticed the enemy's movements, nodded, and with a movement of his mind, the vitality between heaven and earth quickly condensed, forming a violent wind, and his body rose with the wind, suspended in midair.

Gao Cheng stepped forward, and an auspicious cloud appeared under his feet, rising from the clouds.

"Lord, I'll try the quality of these barbarians!" Xu Chu's original wooden face appeared a trace of hideousness, holding a long-handled tiger roaring knife, surrounded by an incomparably powerful Gang Qi, above his heavenly spirit, with the wind howling, a fierce tiger with two wings on his back appeared.

Roar!

Xu Chu jumped down from the city wall, and the winged tiger above the Heavenly Spirit roared down and fused with his body, which was a means that only the powerhouses of the Nine Divine Realm could use to refine Gang.

The divine appearance and the physical body fused, and a few tiger stripes appeared on Xu Chu's face, and he gained the ability to walk in the air. Dozens of zhang of swords wrapped around the body, cut through the void, and slashed through the sky to kill dozens of Shanyue priests. After the fusion of gods, Xu Chu's movements were as fast as lightning, and he instantly swept across the sky, flying from the battlefield of the battle to the top of the Shanyue army.

"Han military general...... Die!"

The nine great priests of Shanyue who were the leaders were not young, they were slightly thin, and one of the high priests sneered, and pointed his thin arm forward, boom! A small half of the power of the dozens of priests behind him gathered into his body, and then turned into a miserable green ray, shooting towards Xu Chu's body.
