Chapter Eighty-Four: Beacon Smoke and Wolf Smoke
Kunhe, as the younger brother of Kunda of the Madness Lion Clan, has always been famous for his bravery, and his cultivation talent is also extremely high, and now he has reached the strength of the High Priest, and now the Madness Royalty is in full swing, and his reputation has also risen.
For many years, the mad lion royal family has a long-cherished wish to unify the Northern Cang, but because it has been difficult to have a chance, the invasion of the Danyang Empire just gave them the opportunity to form an alliance, Kunda wants to take this opportunity to unify the Northern Cang, as Kunda's right-hand man, Kunhe also wants to prove his ability to ten people, but since the Northern Expedition, the allies he led have lost face many times, and now he needs a real victory to wash away the shame.
In the tent of the tribe, Kunhe was holding a large-scale sacrifice ceremony at this time, and their Wild Lion Clan had an ancient tradition of worshipping ancient gods, and through devotional worship and sacrifice ceremonies, they were able to obtain the blessings and gifts of the spirits of their ancestors.
At this time, they wore ancient costumes, slaughtered a large number of cattle and sheep, surrounded the bonfire, and angry the totem of the wild lion tribe next to the altar, and all the subordinates under the leadership of Kunhe bowed religiously, and a huge sacrifice was underway.
"O noble gods, we are your proud servants, our army is about to go on an expedition to bring glory to our people, we have brought you a delicious sacrifice, ask for your blessings, bless us", Kunhe led the tribe to stir the altar, and soon an ancient aura descended on the earth, and their ancient gods seemed to hear their pious call.
After the ceremony, Kunhe gathered many tribal armies and marched south to prepare for a surprise attack on Li Junxian's Northern Expeditionary Army.
In Li Junxian's military tent, the generals came to discuss the next military action, "General, we have won consecutive battles in this attack, what is the next deployment?"
"Next, we may have to prepare for a tough battle to fight, Kun He has lost consecutive battles, and the core area of the Yak Bull Clan is in front of him, he cannot continue to hold on, and he will inevitably carry out a large-scale counterattack, we will immediately shrink the battle line, prepare for a head-to-head confrontation, and all the attacking forces will go on the defensive", Li Junxian pinched Kun He's death in front of the Beicang map.
In the Heavenly Eagle Clan, the Heavenly Eagle King Uru was talking to his high priest: "Now that Kunhe's army has been defeated in successive battles, and the core area of the Yak Bull Clan has been exposed to the enemy, if he fails this time, what kind of face do I think he Kunda has to be this King of the Northern Cang?"
"We may be able to teach him a lesson," said the High Priest.
"We can teach him a proper lesson, but the core area of the yak can't be ceded to the Nanban, otherwise how can we plot against the Beicang Mine?" Uru said.
"I'll let our shaman prepare for it, and I'll be sure to surprise him," the high priest laughed.
Kunhe was now full of confidence, blessed by the gods, and his army gained the power of the ancestral soul, and this time he led a large number of warriors to rush south.
Their war eagles swept across the grasslands, and Li Junxian's army was under their control.
"Tell the High Priest that the headquarters of the Nanban is stationed twenty miles ahead," said the scout report.
"It's dusk, and when our march arrives, it's nightfall, so we must take them by surprise and make them tremble in front of the spirits of the ancestors," Kunhe rode forward on a huge iron wolf.
"General, our front outpost has detected a huge Kunhe army, and they want to directly raid our army headquarters", the scout reported.
"Kun He is really arrogant, I thought he would gradually open our defense network, but I didn't expect him to dare to bypass our forward defense and go deep alone, okay, immediately send a message to the army in front of us to encircle and strangle Kun He's army, we also entered the defensive formation, take out all our heavy weapons, let them feel it", Li Junxian deployed overnight.
As Kunhe's army approached the Imperial tent, some of Kunhe's subordinates said, "High Priest, the enemy has a grand arcane**, how do we deal with it?"
"Our gods have already blessed us, we have summoned the ancestral spirits close to the military camp to attack and deceive them first, and when their arcane ** is almost used, it will be the prelude to our attack", Kunhe had his own plan.
Near the camp, all of Kunhe's subordinates immediately raised their totems and summoned the souls of the ancestors, and under the ancient secret art of Cui Dong, countless ancient souls were summoned out by them and killed the imperial army frantically.
"Generals, generals are not good, there are a lot of ghosts, Kun He is not a human, all are ghosts", in the imperial military tent, the generals were instantly frightened by the swarming ancient souls.
"What the hell are you doing? Immediately activate our heavy weapons and wipe them out," Li Junxian was also confused, and he walked out of the military tent and walked to the front.
At this moment, the army has long been disheartened under the invasion of ancient souls, and the soldiers are very afraid of these dark souls, and many people have died tragically under the ghosts.
The heavy weapons of the empire finally worked, and one by one they smashed into the swarming enemies, terrifying fires shining in the sky, and violent explosions resounded in the field.
The Kunhe army was frightened from afar, and even the Iron Wolf they were sitting on was also frightened at the moment, and many warriors were frightened and fell to the ground.
At this moment, the wilderness has turned into a sea of fire, and Li Junxian's army has also been disrupted by countless ghosts, and the ghosts that have spread everywhere have killed their catapults and ballista positions, and many of the soldiers who are operating are about to fly away in fright, shouting and fleeing.
"Spirit division troops, hurry up and destroy these ghosts, and the other troops will immediately organize soldiers and restore the military formation", Li Junxian finally felt the crisis.
As the ** offensive weakened, Kunhe observed all this from afar, "The opportunity for the warriors to be ashamed has come, for the glory of Beicang, give me a charge", Kunhe commanded the army to officially charge.
Many wolf cavalry, armed with spears, scimitars, and giant axes, slaughtered the barracks one by one, and at this moment, Li Junxian's subordinates were in a mess, and they were soon caught off guard by Kun He, who rushed to kill.
Kun He finally found the feeling he had not felt for a long time, his warriors cut melons and vegetables and opened a huge gap in an instant, and drove all the way in, the imperial soldiers had no will to fight, and they had no cooperation, and at this time they faced the fierce barbarians and suffered heavy losses.
Seeing the defeated army, Li Junxian immediately organized a counterattack by the rear army, and with the participation of the spirit master, they killed many yin spirits, which reinvigorated their morale and organized a counterattack.
A scuffle broke out here, and Kunhe's attack was once again met with stubborn resistance, and the night was destined to be bloody.
Now that the soldiers of both sides are crossed, the Danyang Empire can no longer use the arcane ** unscrupulously, which makes them not have much advantage.
Kunhe was full of energy, and his morale was fierce, although the imperial army resisted stubbornly, but the army was discouraged, and retreated while fighting.
"When will our reinforcements arrive?" asked Li Junxian.
"They have already received our order to encircle and strangle, and they will be here soon," someone said.
"Order everyone to go into battle, reinforcements will arrive soon, as long as they hold out until the reinforcements arrive, they will surely be defeated", Li Junxian celebrity beat the war drum of an all-out offensive.
For a time, the grassland was full of flames and flames, and many defensive troops in front of the empire rushed to help, this was a race against time, once the headquarters was lost, the enemy made time to do a good defense, and they were bound to be defeated.
"Warriors, their army will soon be defeated, charge me", Kunhe is brave and fierce.
But at this moment, the generals of the Aquila royal clan were quietly withdrawing from the battlefield in the rear at this moment, and they had already received the order of the high priest to fight passively. At the moment, they are drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle.
Li Junxian organized the troops to fight back frantically, and achieved great results, and the barbarian warriors fell one after another, leaving many corpses on the ground.
"High priest, their counterattack is Taiwanese, and we are about to lose it", the barbarian warrior reported.
"How is this possible? There are so many of us, why can't we rush forward?" Kunhe was furious.
"Because the soldiers of the Aquila Clan don't know where to hide, and they fight passively and drag us back," someone said.
"The hateful Aquila Tribe, when this battle is over, I will scrape them alive, and everyone will rush me", Kun He had no way to retreat at the moment, and the bottom of the Aquila Royal Clan's salary drew them off guard.
"General, the barbarian offensive has reached the extreme, and they can't hold on", the general reported.
"Once we are in one go, then we are declining, and then we are exhausted, and it is our turn, as long as we hold on, reinforcements will arrive soon," Li Junxian said.
Several of the four sides of the camp had already felt the huge fire, and they rushed towards it.
"The high priest is not good, why are the enemy reinforcements in the rear coming, our rear road has been cut off."
"Damn, there is no way out, then the jade will be burned, for the glory of Beicang, everyone will kill me", Kunhe looked at the fires everywhere, and the warriors of the tribe fell like weeds. They lost not tactically, but the Allies.
At this moment, the army of the Eagle Clan has already left the battlefield and quietly went north, although they have harmed Kunhe, but they do not want to give up the core area of the Yak Clan, and at this moment, another army of the Eagle Royal Clan has already been stationed in the core area of the Yak.
Li Junxian looked at the swarming reinforcements and immediately laughed, "These barbarians are really stupid and cute, and this is the end of the lone army."
Kunhe led the remnants of the tribe to break through desperately, but the enemy surrounded like a tide, and many wolf riders soon died tragically under the enemy's spears, and he led several masters to open a gap and flee into the distance. After this battle, the vitality of both sides was greatly damaged, and although Li Junxian won a great victory, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and Kun He's subordinates lost all their losses.
Kunhe's defeat shocked the kings of the steppe, and the Aquila King Ulu took the opportunity to enter the core area of the yak to take over the leadership of the Northern Cang, although Kunda was furious, but Kunhe's defeat had made him lose face, and he had to give up the title of the Northern Cang King, and the Aquila King took the opportunity to take the throne.
In the court of the Mad Lion King, Kun He met Kunda with a disgraced face at this moment, and his defeat put the Mad Lion Royal Family under tremendous pressure.
"Brother, I don't accept it, the Aquila royal clan has bullied people too much, they have taken a salary at the most critical moment of our charge, which led to our fiasco, and they have killed countless grassland warriors, not my tactical defeat", Kunhe knelt in front of Kunda and said.
"What's the use of talking about this now? I'll write it down first, and I'll definitely make them pay for it in the future, but now that the Allies have suffered huge losses, I think he is going to hold the core of the yak?" Kunda said.
The Empire suffered huge losses in this head-to-head confrontation, many baggage were destroyed, and many soldiers were killed and wounded, and now they did not rush to attack, but turned to repair, and they received the news that the Aquila royal clan had taken over the leadership of Kunhe, and knew that the enemy had already laid an ambush to deal with them.
"It seems that the ancient strength of Beicang cannot be underestimated, if the reinforcements are not in place in time this time, we may be the ones who fail, but fortunately we arrived in time", Xiao Han, the military advisor, said.
"Now if you want to attack the core of the yak, you must be cautious, we have suffered huge losses this time, if we fail, we will be ashamed of your trust", Li Junxian is planning a new round of strategic deployment.
The result of this battle was quickly detected by the scouts of the Tianhua Sect, which was definitely good news for them, dog bite dog hair, and their mutual consumption was good news for them.
"I heard that Kun He led the army in a huge head-to-head confrontation, which led to the annihilation of the entire army and the heavy losses of the imperial army, maybe our opportunity has come", Lin Zixu and they hibernated for a long time, waiting for an opportunity.
"I don't know when the reinforcements from the sect will arrive, and we must have more support for our actions," Yin Qianxi said.
"It won't be too long, things here are very important, once you miss the fighter, it will be difficult to resist the attack of the empire in the future, and the sect will not sit idly by," Lin Zixu said.
Unlike the smoke of gunfire in the north, calm has gradually returned to the countries of the south, and some refugees from the occupied areas have returned to start a year of farming, and this time the northward movement of the front has given countless victims a chance to recuperate.
Tianhua Sect has a thriving atmosphere, and now the heaven and earth are full of spiritual energy, which is very suitable for temporary cultivation, and all the disciples cherish the hard-won cultivation opportunities, and they have made rapid progress these days.
Shi Xuan has not let go of his cultivation in the Spirit Forging Hall these days because of refining the spirit core**, this trip to Oolong Mountain has reached a very good physique tempering, their strength has increased greatly, and they have the spirit essence of the oolong to continue to improve their physique, and now he has successfully broken through to the ninth order of the Ning Yuan Realm, there are few opponents in this realm, even if he faces Su Cheng's holy light again, he is not afraid at all, and now the dragon breath in his body is strong and powerful.
At this moment, he has an urgent pursuit of the Heavenly Pulse Realm, and the Heavenly Pulse Realm can greatly improve a temporary spiritual qi cultivation, and even be able to initially control the spiritual weapon to fly in the air, which is the realm he dreams of.
It will take a lot of time for his Purple Winged Madness Lion to advance to the fifth order, and if he wants to completely break free from the shackles of the earth, he has to rely on his own strength to progress.
In order to speed up the progress of the Purple Winged Mad, he even gave it some precious oolong chalcedony, which can improve the bloodline of the Purple Winged Madden, and even reach a terrifying level in the future, and then he will have a powerful helper.
Zhao Zhuo is not to be outdone, his two lion cubs are now growing every day, or it won't be long before they will usher in evolution, and they will be two powerful boosters in the future.
In the main hall of Tianhua Sect, the ranger general Li Qingyang and the elders of the Divine Sword Valley were discussing with Dai Tiande and his party about the affairs of Beicang.
"We have received a request for help from the north again, what do you think?" Dai Tiande looked at everyone.
"This time, the Beicang Alliance and the Empire are fighting each other, and both sides have suffered losses, which may give us an opportunity to turn the situation around," Li Qingyang said.
"Now that Yao Jingcheng has been stationed in the Beicang Mine for a long time, he must have hoarded a large amount of spirit saltpeter, and once they start transporting it, we should make some moves," said the elder of the Divine Sword Valley.
"After all, it is difficult to completely disintegrate the crisis by just drinking to quench thirst, and besides, the empire is cunning and must take precautions, and I think the dominance of the mine is the key," Xie Tianxing said.
"But isn't the 300,000 army in front of you easy to deal with?" Li Qingyang said.
"Maybe we don't need to deal with these people, let the barbarians of Beicang fight with them, and we can just reap the profits," Dai Tiande said.
"Now that war is unlikely to break out in the south, the core of the empire is in the north, and we can indeed consider the plan to move north and take the opportunity to dismantle the Danyang Empire," Xie Tianxing said.
"I've heard that even the Tianyin Pavilion and the Wind Thunder Pavilion, which have been neutral for many years, have joined forces in the Northern Cang, and they have also sent some disciples to the North?" Dai Tiande said.
"The Arcane ** of the Imperial Army must have caused them to panic too, and they couldn't sit still anymore, and Beicang was completely in chaos," said the Elder of the Divine Sword Valley.
"Why is the Moon Worship Sect so calm? Could it be that their news is so closed?" Dai Tiande said.
"I've been worried about what secret plans they're secretly going on, but I can't find any clues, and that's what we're worried about," said the Elder of Excalibur Valley.
"What I'm most worried about is that our disciples will be sent to the north, which will lead to the emptiness of the sect, and they will take the opportunity to attack, and then the sect will be in danger," Dai Tiande expressed his worries.
"We should set up a special organization to monitor the Moon Worship Sect's every move, otherwise we will be stuck in our throats," Li Qingyang said.
"Senior Brother Li has been walking the mainland all year round, presumably he is proficient in news, you mainland rangers should be much more sensitive to these news than us, so I would like to leave this matter to you, right?" Dai Tiande said.
"Since Senior Brother Dai has ordered it, I will definitely supervise it myself, and we also want to see the mystery of the Moon Worship Sect clearly," Li Qingyang said.
"This time, we will once again send a large number of disciples to secretly march north, and this time it will be extremely disintegrating the Danyang Empire's power in the north," Dai Tiande said.
The three parties reached a consensus and decided to reinforce the operation in the north again.
Jiang Yuheng heard the news that the master had decided to send his disciples to the Northern Expedition again, and he found the master, "I want to lead a team to Beicang to assist Uncle Li and them", Jiang Yuheng appealed.
"If it were normal, I wouldn't stop you, but now your Gu poison is extremely stubborn, once the seal is broken, it will inevitably endanger your life, I will never let you take risks again, besides, a large number of sect disciples go north, the sect must be empty, here needs you to preside over the daily defense, I have been worried about the raid of the Moon Worship Sect, recently several of our senior brothers have reached the key point of cultivation, I want to find a chance to retreat, the banner here still needs you to resist", Dai Tiande said.
"But..."Jiang Yuheng tried to explain again, but Dai Tiande interrupted his appeal.
"Okay, I understand your thoughts, but you have to understand that the critical moment must focus on the overall situation, in the future, the burden of Tianhua Sect will still need you to resist, I and Yao Jingcheng have a common hatred, even I can't seek revenge from him for personal vendetta, regardless of the overall situation, there will be opportunities in the future", Dai Tiande patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Yes, master, it's my thinking that is too narrow, I know how to do it," Jiang Yuheng said.
"You are the senior brother of the Tianhua Sect, all the disciples and elders are looking at you, you have to understand that you are shouldering the burden of the Zhengke Tianhua Sect, and you can't make a wrong step, otherwise the entire Tianhua Sect will follow you and fall to the altar, we have inherited it for thousands of years, relying on the hard work of each generation, I hope that the Tianhua Sect can be revived again in your hands", Dai Tiande looked at the hot-blooded young man in front of him, as if he saw himself when he was young.
This action is beyond the imagination of every disciple, almost half of the disciples of Tianhua Sect will go to Beicang, such a large scale is really rare, Shi Xuan also felt the urgency of this action, so the teacher is moving, there will inevitably be some gains.
In this operation, many new disciples also began to participate enthusiastically, these days, their strength has made many disciples who have entered the sect for many years feel pressure, and now what they lack is not strength but on-the-spot combat experience, this time will also comprehensively examine their penance over the years.
The top ten disciples on the rookie list all went, which surprised Dai Tiande, but after thinking about it, he still agreed to their action, if the chick wants to spread its wings and fly high, it will inevitably experience stormy waves, and this operation is definitely the end of the elite.
Excalibur Valley and the Ranger also gathered a huge team to march north, their huge team of spirit masters was enough to wipe out some mid-level forces or countries, and their temporary combat ability was by no means comparable to that of ordinary soldiers.
In order to cooperate with the actions of the allies, the four empires also sent a large number of Northern Expeditionary Forces to secretly march north, and this operation was related to the safety of the country, and no one could stay out of it.
The Danyang Empire also received a letter from Li Junxian asking for help, although it was narrowly defeated this time, but the losses were huge, and if it wanted to further expand the war, it was necessary to seek support.
Jiang Bingkun was bound to win the north cang, even if he was distressed, there was nothing he could do, he gritted his teeth and sent a huge expedition north again.
The beacon fire and wolf smoke in Beicang are burning, and Li Junxian continues to launch a siege on the yak tribe, and he is bound to win the strategic place here.
At the same time, Yao Jingcheng's many transportation armies successively drove out of Beicang's minerals, virtual and real, some were real spiritual ore transportation teams, and some were all camouflage troops hunting other forces, and they went south.
Lin Zixu and the others did not act rashly because of the previous lesson, and they were also observing the next development.
Sure enough, other forces from the mainland took the initiative to collide with their guns, and they attacked these transport teams, some of them were lucky enough to successfully plunder a lot of spirit saltpeter, and some were unlucky, and they encountered the elite ambush soldiers of the empire and suffered heavy losses. Among these teams, a mysterious raider in disguise from the Shadow Moon Fortress has once again haunted the Northern Skies, and they are ready to surprise the other teams and be the last hunter.
"Sure enough, Yao Jingcheng's temptation made many forces show their fangs", Lin Zixu and they have been secretly investigating the situation of other forces.
"People die for money, birds die for food, how can these people not be moved in the face of such strategic materials?" Han Yunyi said.
