Chapter 210 New Pawn Old Pawn
After coming down from the battlefield, Zhao Ning went straight back to the camp after seeing Zhao Beiwang and his wife, and he had been meditating and cultivating for the rest of the time to recover his essence.
Today's battle situation was something that had never appeared in his previous life, and it gave Zhao Ning a lot of new experiences, and he digested the results of the battle while cultivating, pushing the realm forward steadily.
On the whole, today's results are good, aside from the late stage of the Beihu Yuan God Realm, it is a remarkable achievement to clean up one-third of the backbone combat power of a 10,000-person team in the front.
It's just that although this experience is new, Zhao Ning doesn't feel very proud.
The prominence of his personal combat power makes him have no opponents in the same realm, and he is equipped with the best equipment, which allows him to kill the enemy beyond the ranks, and with the protection of Zhao Beiwang and his wife, he can almost come and go freely.
All of this allowed him to become a god-killing existence, and compared to others, Zhao Ning was indeed much stronger.
But in this world, there is another person who, when he is in the same realm as him, plays a greater role on the battlefield than him, and can almost use his own strength to influence the direction of the war.
It only took one or two decades for this person, without anyone's help or resources, to make a small tribe with only a few hundred people, who were eyed by other tribes and was in danger of extinction at any time, become an unparalleled overlord who sat on a territory of thousands of miles and dominated the north of the desert.
In the past 20 years, this person's brilliant achievements have already become a legend sung by countless people in Mobei.
Twenty years have passed, and the Tianyuan Imperial Court, which this person has single-handedly established, has actually annexed the Khitan and Jurchen tribes, and is ambitiously preparing to dominate the grassland.
In the next few years, to the south he will drink the Yellow River, to the west he will expand the territory of thousands of miles, countless famous cities have become his trophies, countless strong armies have been turned into a piece of loess by him.
If it is just compared with other big clans and famous generals, Zhao Ning's achievements this year are enough to make him proud and even inflated.
But with this person standing in the world, Zhao Ning's record today is insignificant in any way. Backed by the thousand-year-old clan Zhao clan and the elite Yanmen army of Great Qi, he still needs to do better and do more.
After cultivating all night, Zhao Ning, who felt that the bottleneck in the middle of the Yuan Shen Realm had loosened a lot, put on his armor again early the next morning, shot out of the tent with a longbow, and followed the army to the battlefield again.
Today, the army moved together and attacked the three passes of Flying Eagle Mountain, Black Stone Valley, and Baifengkou at the same time.
After yesterday's fierce battle, Zhao Xuanji, Zhao Beiwang and others unanimously decided to let all the subordinates take turns to train in battle.
The novice performance of the Yanmen Army on the battlefield was in stark contrast to the Tianyuan Army, which made Zhao Xuanji and the others worried.
The Yanmen Army's infantry tactics system is very mature and complete, and it should have shown its superiority, but it was not fought at all yesterday.
In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the Yanmen army, let the new soldiers become veterans as soon as possible, and adapt to the environment of the real battlefield, taking turns is the most direct and effective way, and it is also the most beneficial in the long run.
Meng Qi's department, which attacked Baifengkou yesterday, did not participate in the battle today, but they were not idle, and when Zhao Ning left the camp, he saw that they were training in the camp.
This training is not the training of the other, the important thing is not to practice the battle formation, but to digest the results of yesterday's fierce battle, the main general Meng Qi led the generals and colonels, and constantly summed up experience.
And the ordinary soldiers, under the leadership of their respective team leaders and leaders, reflected on the shortcomings of yesterday's battle, repeatedly corrected the various problems exposed, and practiced with each other in a timely manner.
They are all combat experiences drawn from life and death, blood and fire, and there is no need to say how effective they are. The most important thing is that with yesterday's actual battle, when the soldiers go to the battlefield again, they will not be as nervous as before.
If their minds are sharpened, they will be able to stabilize themselves when they go into battle again, and the tactics of hard training day after day will be implemented without compromise and show their due combat power.
Whether the army is well-trained or not will make an essential difference at this point.
Without the results of training, even if it is a bloody battle, it is personal growth. Whether the cooperation between comrades, the method of battle formation is reasonable, and how to deal with various situations cannot be improved rapidly in a short period of time.
If there are training results, after a bloody battle, if you go to the battlefield again, you will not panic, and the combat system with a degree of discipline on weekdays will immediately become terrifying lethality.
And what Zhao Ning has to do is still to respond to the siege soldiers of Baifengkou.
He wants them not to suffer heavy casualties in a short period of time, and to have the opportunity to interact with the Beihu army, so that they have more time to fight the enemy, so that more soldiers have the possibility of harvesting and growing.
No matter how much this war is won or lost, it will allow the officers and soldiers of the Yanmen Army to get rid of the identity of new soldiers on the battlefield. The more veterans who survive this war, the stronger the Yanmen Army will be in the future.
The battle began, and the siege troops swept towards the city like a tide under the guidance of strong bows and crossbows. The cultivators braved the stone arrows to quickly leap onto the city, leading their elite subordinates to open up the battlefield, and soon fought with the enemy.
The blue rune unique to the Condor once again appeared in Guancheng.
Every time the light of the talisman flashed, there would be a master of Beihu cultivators who could no longer stand up. When the strong enemy in front of them falls, the Yanmen army, which has been psychologically prepared, will strengthen its offensive and rush the opponent to expand the results.
After yesterday's battle, Zhao Ning has also learned a lot smarter and become more suitable for his role.
He no longer took his guards and drew his bow in the open space behind the battle formation, exposing himself to the enemy, but blended into the crowd of the siege battle array, and quickly disappeared into the military formation with a single arrow, avoiding becoming a target for the enemy.
Zhao Ning didn't know if there were condor shooters in the city, how many there were, and he couldn't guarantee whether the other party was in the middle of the Yuan Shen Realm or the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm. The best way to deal with the hidden enemy is to try not to show any flaws.
His attacks have also become more effective, his target selection has become more focused, and he has a stronger support for the battle formations that have a better chance of gaining a foothold, rather than trying to deal with all the elite cultivators.
I have to admit that the difference between people is very big, and they are also new to the battlefield, some generals are very stable, have a clear mind and rigorous tactics, and some generals are in a hurry at the moment, even if they perform well on weekdays.
Sacrifice is inevitable, and only the strong and the lucky can fight to the end.
What Zhao Ning has to do is to act as the best of luck gods, so that those cultivators and battle formations who are strong can not disappear early because of their disadvantage.
As expected, after more than a dozen arrows, the wind and clouds above the white wind mouth changed color, and the clouds generated by the vast true qi were like a huge hideous dome, covering the range of hundreds of steps in a radius, and the purple lightning flashed and thundered loudly.
That's when a King Extreme Realm cultivator made a move.
Zhao Ning disappeared into the crowd of the Yanmen army and did not hurry to release the arrows. Of course, he knew that his body could not hide the lock of the cultivators of the Wang Extreme Realm, and he didn't want to escape on his own at all.
When the Wang Ji Realm cultivators floating in the air in the Baifengkou Pass City had not yet made a move against Zhao Ning, in the battle array of the Yanmen Army, there were also Wang Ji Realm masters rising from the ground.
The cyan true qi like a pillar soared into the sky, opening up another field of vision where the wind and clouds walked, the center of the black cloud with lightning and thunder, and all kinds of obscure and esoteric runes that carried sinking and floating, with a pound of power, rolled out a mysterious vortex.
It was Zhao Zhenzhong who made the shot.
The two kings of the Extreme Realm fought in the air on the white wind outlet, at first it was a spell greeting from you and me, and then they jumped up and swung their swords in melee combat.
The rapid flickering of their bodies made their tracks unpredictable, and only briefly revealed their bodies every time the swords collided, and then separated in an instant.
More often than not, everyone could only see the two entangled visionary realms, constantly flickering and flickering.
Zhao Ning didn't hide for too long, and reappeared a moment later, and the Beihu cultivator masters at the head of the city kept falling under the blue talisman that flashed away.
It's just four arrows, and the second Wang Jijing appears in the Northern Hu army. After this master appeared, he did not launch a domain to set off an anomaly, but directly swooped into Zhao Ning's battle formation from Guancheng, like a goshawk predatoring.
As we all know, Charahan who commanded the Beihu army this time must be the Wang Ji Realm, and the Wang Ji Realm cultivator who appeared now is naturally the third Wang Ji Realm in the Beihu army.
Judging from his behavior of not launching the realm and fully demonstrating the strength of Wang Jijing after he appeared, he obviously didn't think that anyone could stop him and could easily capture Zhao Ning.
Of course, this is also because of the activation of the realm, the rise of the true qi vision, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of movement, if Zhao Xuanji, the king of the extreme realm, makes a timely move in the middle of the realm, then if he wants not to die, the true realm of Chalahan will have to be exposed.
Although he didn't give full play to the strength of Wang Ji Realm, it was not something that a cultivator in the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm could stop, and his lightning shot, even if there was a late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm in the Yanmen army formation that wanted to protect Zhao Ning, he couldn't do it at all.
So he thinks there will be no accident in capturing Zhao Ning.
But he was wrong.
As soon as he swept out of Guancheng, the sky and earth in front of him suddenly changed color.
When Zhao Zhenzhong fought against the No. 1 Wang Extreme Realm, the two realms of entangled wrestling in the sky had already obscured a large part of the sun, and the sky in front of Baifengkou City was already much dimmer.
At this time, the cloudy sky almost became night, and many soldiers raised their heads in astonishment and panic.
The cultivators in the early stage of the Wang Extreme Realm, even if there was one more and ascended to the realm, would not have such strength.
There was no third King Extreme Realm realm in mid-air, which meant that it was not Zhao Xuanji, the middle stage of the King Extreme Realm, who made a move.
Some master cultivators, when they shook their heads, saw a huge black moon. The dazzling true air streamer emanated from the black moon, forming a black tide that swept in all directions.
It was this black tide that swallowed the light of the sky.
"Strange soldier 'Qianjun'?!"
The face of the Beihu King Jijing changed, and he hurriedly abandoned the target Zhao Ning, drew his sword with all his strength, and slashed with all his might, and the snow-white horse practice cut through the black tide, and went against the trend, like a giant ship in the waves, facing the black moon that slashed down towards him.
The swords and soldiers struck each other, and the giant ship was smashed by the black moon, and the overflowing white light was swallowed by the black tide before it could spread.
King Beihu's face turned pale, and his body flew out upside down, slamming into the city wall. The huge force shook the city with a loud bang, and the soldiers fighting on it fell one by one, and the walls spread out cobweb-like cracks.
"Wang Ji Realm?!"
The Beihu cultivator wiped away the blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and looked in disbelief at the main general of the Yanmen Army who was walking towards him step by step above the heads of the soldiers of the Yanmen Army.
On the Qianjun in the other party's hand, there were still "burning" strands of black gas, and the black tide moved around him without wind, setting off his whole person like a god, and the momentum was compelling.
"Zhao Beiwang, when did you achieve the Wang Extreme Realm?" Beihu cultivator's eyes flickered.
Zhao Beiwang smiled proudly, and slashed again with a knife, "Just now!"
The long knife Qianjun in front of him became a black moon again, and the Beihu King Extreme Realm had no luck anymore, so he withdrew and left, and flashed into the Baifengkou Pass City at the fastest speed in his life.
The Fu soldiers in the world, who can really threaten the Wang Ji Realm, are only at the level of the Ten Great Soldiers. Zhao Beiwang, who was holding a thousand juns, even if he had just achieved the Wang Ji Realm, he was no longer able to compete with Wang Ji Realm in the early stage.
Zhao Beiwang intended to chase and kill, and took the head of a cultivator in the early stage of the Beihu King Extreme Realm to celebrate his achievement in the King Extreme Realm, but he heard Zhao Ning shouting in the big array: "Poor Kou Mo chase!"
Others didn't know, but Zhao Ning knew very well that among the Beihu army in front of him, the number of cultivators in the Wang Extreme Realm was twice that of the Yanmen Army.
Zhao Beiwang was very sure that within three or five moves, he would be able to kill the Beihu King Jijing who had already been injured by him, but listening to Zhao Ning's anxious warning, he thought about it and decided to follow the other party's advice.
......
Bai Yin looked at the head of Baifengkou City and took a long breath, "Zhao Beiwang is already in the Wang Ji Realm? This guy is not an ordinary talent, it is difficult to step into the Wang Ji Realm, why did he suddenly break through the realm?"
Speaking of this, he touched his chin, with a look of jealousy on his face, and said meaningfully: "One door and three kings are in the extreme realm, more than a hundred years ago, when the Zhao family was at its peak, it was just like this. Now it's happening again......"
Charahan flicked the sleeves of his robe irritably, signaling Bai Yin not to say more. No matter how strong the Zhao clan is, can it still produce more than a dozen Wang Ji Realms? As long as this situation does not occur, the number of Wang Ji Realms in Daqi cannot be compared with the grassland.
What he was depressed about now was that if he wanted to continue to capture and kill Zhao Ning, he would have to invest in two more Wang Ji Realms in order to be completely sure.
Zhao Beiwang, who has a long sword, is no longer something that can be contended with in the early stage of the Wang Ji Realm, whether it is to kill him or entangle him, it takes two people to win.
can put in two more King Extreme Realms, plus himself, the army will show five King Extreme Realms. And Daqi must know that there are still some Wang Ji Realm in the attack on the Dadan Department.
In addition to the Dadan Department, there are suddenly more than a dozen kings in the grassland, and the number exceeds that of Great Qi, can this not make the Great Qi Emperor jealous?
In order to capture and kill a Zhao Ning in the early stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, it is not worth paying such a big price. The purpose of his battle was to block the Yanmen army, not to get along with Zhao Ning.
Maybe Bai Yin's suggestion before was right. Zhao Ning is a plague god, and to provoke him is to make himself uncomfortable, no matter what he is, he may be better.
Now that he is only in the early stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, his ability is limited, and he can deal with the Yanmen army and make the battle on Guancheng equal, but that's all.
The loss of more than 30 backbones of the army every day is indeed heart-wrenching, but as long as there is not much loss in the middle and late stages of the Yuan Shen Realm, it will not affect the overall situation in a short period of time.
Although he really wanted to ignore Zhao Ning, it was difficult for Charahan not to swallow this breath. But commanding a large army to fight cannot be carried out rashly. You can't do anything, he, as a manager, must make reasonable trade-offs.
He felt very uncomfortable in his heart, such a choice, the previous losses would be in vain, and he had to admit that he temporarily took the greatest humiliation of the Tianyuan Army, there was nothing he could do.
But for the sake of the overall situation, no matter how uncomfortable he is, he can only convince himself to endure now.
"Bai Fengkou doesn't care about it for now. The Yanmen army in Flying Eagle Mountain and Black Stone Valley has always suffered heavy casualties, and after a few days, the morale of the Yanmen army will be low, and they will be able to find an opportunity to counterattack.
"Before that, it is impossible for Baifengkou to be completely conquered. When the Yanmen army becomes a tired army, and the army comes out of the Black Stone Valley, the victory will be determined, and when the time comes, just one Zhao Ning, can still escape from the palm of my hand?"
Thinking of this, Charahan let out a long breath.
......
As Zhao Beiwang defeated the Beihu King Extreme Realm cultivator in front of him, and Charahan did not send reinforcements, the Wang Extreme Realm, who was fighting with Zhao Zhenzhong, also quickly withdrew from the battlefield.
If he didn't withdraw in time, he was in danger of being besieged by Zhao Beiwang and Zhao Zhenzhong.
In this way, Chalahan's action against Zhao Ning came to an end for the time being, and Zhao Ning, who had no one to restrain him, was able to do as much as he could.
"Among the hundreds of thousands of Beihu troops, there should be one or two Condor archers, why don't you seem to have the intention of making a move today?" This is a question that Zhao Ning thinks about a lot between battles.
Because he gradually became familiar with his care and knew how to better cooperate with his offensive, the battle situation of the Yanmen Army today was better than yesterday.
But because it was a new pawn who went into battle, not the part that fought yesterday, the overall combat power improvement was limited, and it was still too much to capture Guancheng.
Zhao Beiwang retreated to the mountain bag behind the army, while observing the situation on the battlefield, while admiring Zhao Ning's continuous killing, with a strong smile on his face, he said to Wang Rouhua beside him: "This kid's archery skills are really good, he is almost able to catch up with me." ”
Wang Rouhua glanced at him angrily, in terms of archery, Zhao Ning had already surpassed Zhao Beiwang. But she's not going to break it to her face.
Looking at Zhao Ning running around in the formation, Wang Rouhua's eyes gradually darkened, and at the end she sighed lightly, and said with pity: "I don't know how much he has suffered in order to cultivate such an archery."
"We are stationed at the border all year round, and we can't go back to Yanping City a few times a year, when he is tired from hard work, I, as a mother, can't cook him a good meal, and I'm incompetent to think about it......"
When Wang Rouhua said this, Zhao Beiwang's face was not very good-looking, "It's not just archery, his various combat skills are extremely skilled, when we can't see it, he suffers more than we think." ”
Speaking of this, seeing that Wang Rouhua's eyes were crystal clear and she was about to cry, he hurriedly cheered up his spirits and laughed:
"You old woman, just say that there are some of these things, this kid is a century-old genius, his talent is unmatched, where do you need to endure hardships? He has worked hard in a month, others can't catch up in a year, and I want to see that he doesn't work hard at all.
"In Yanping City, who doesn't know that he is a prodigal? I have heard that this kid is young, and he often goes in and out of the Qinglou with some fox friends and dogs! We are not by his side, and he has been beaten for I don't know how many times!"
was said by Zhao Beiwang, Wang Rouhua thought about it and felt a little reasonable, but seeing Zhao Beiwang's fly in the ointment, it seemed that it was a pity that he didn't beat Zhao Ning twice, so he was angry, and suddenly his phoenix eyes glared:
"Who did you just say is the old woman?!"
