Speaking of it as a trail, in fact, this mountain road that can cross Qingfeng Ridge is not very narrow, about one zhang wide and seven or eight feet narrow. If such a width is only for ordinary people to walk, it will certainly not be a problem, and it can even be said to be spacious, but if it is used for marching, it will be quite narrow.

There must be no big problem for ordinary soldiers to pass by, but if the cavalry passes through here, basically two horses will be able to pass by, and one more horse will be enough.

In addition, vehicles carrying heavy loads have to pass through, which makes the already narrow road even narrower, so it is not an exaggeration to call this winding mountain road a trail.

After Xia Fan said goodbye to Al Zhanhu, he turned around and walked to the side of Yukong Yue and Bu Fenghou, while asking them to speed up the march, and on the other hand, let them send more elite soldiers and strong generals, with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, to kill those scouts who blocked their scouts on the Qingfeng Trail, and then temporarily put the heavy baggage behind, assault at full speed, and be sure to take the Qingfeng Trail as quickly as possible.

The reason why Xia Fan was so anxious to take the Qingfeng Trail was really related to the particularity of his terrain.

Although the location of Shiraishi Castle is very special, like a lock, and it is tightly blocked by the road to the west side of Qingfeng Ridge through the Qingfeng Trail, this does not mean that the Qingfeng Trail is not important.

Because the Qingfeng Trail is so narrow, it is difficult to set up a position on it, in other words, no matter how many soldiers and horses go up the Qingfeng Trail, it is difficult to exert a numerical advantage, except for flying in the sky, you can only fight on this narrow Qingfeng Trail with your feet on the ground. In this way, the Qingfeng Trail has really become a defensive treasure that can be done anytime and anywhere.

Such a road, if it has been occupied by the enemy, means that from entering the Qingfeng Trail to White Rock City, it really needs to be fought step by step, so I really don't know how much blood will be shed and how many people will die along the way. On the other hand, if you take advantage of the defenselessness of the defenders to take it in one fell swoop, it will not only be convenient for the subsequent attack on Shiraishi Castle, but more importantly, if the enemy wants to counterattack, you can also take advantage of the narrow terrain of the Breeze Path to engage in a fierce battle with them.

"I personally led the troops there. Seeing that Xia Fan said solemnly, Yukong Yue knew that this matter was not trivial, so she took the initiative to ask for help at the moment, and before Xia Fan nodded, she had already waved her hand, and took the five thousand elites she had carefully selected before and went directly to the Qingfeng Trail.

"Bufeng Marquis ......," Xia Fan called.

"The end will be. Bu Fenghou hurriedly agreed, waiting for Xia Fan's order.

"The scout also said that there are also many scouts from the Blue Jade Kingdom wandering on the east side of Qingfeng Ridge, you send more soldiers and horses out to encircle and suppress them, there is no need to ensure the safety of our back road. Speaking of this, Xia Fan said: "Even if the Sky Moon opens up the Qingfeng Trail in front of us later, and the 80,000 troops pass smoothly, you have to leave enough soldiers and horses to guard here, and you must not let the enemy take advantage of our unpreparedness to copy our back road." ”

While speaking, Xia Fan glanced at the towering and steep Qingfeng Ridge, and said lightly: "Although this Qingfeng Ridge is known as steep, there are even more wild birds that can't fly, and the gods are also worried, but that's just the people in the world who think so, if you really want to climb over this Qingfeng Ridge, where can you use any immortals, and it is enough to have some people who transform into the god realm." Besides, the enemy has been entrenched in Baishi City for many years, guarding Qingfeng Ridge all day and night, and his understanding of this place must be far better than ours, and he may find another hidden passage that can cross Qingfeng Ridge, so he has to guard against it. ”

"Understood. Bu Fenghou nodded and said, "The last general will immediately arrange for someone to garrison and defend here." ”

Xia Fan briefly explained two more words, and then walked forward.

"Whew. Bu Fenghou watched Xia Fan leave, and then he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When facing Xia Fan just now, he did feel a lot of pressure, so that he unconsciously became cautious and respectful. Of course, this is related to the fact that Xia Fan has led them to win several battles in succession, and his power has gradually become stronger, but more importantly, it is also because after Xia Fan broke through to the Divine Spirit Realm, his own coercion has become much stronger than before. Even if Xia Fan deliberately restrained, the aura that leaked out inadvertently would still make people feel awe, resulting in a feeling of divine might.

Xia Fan didn't ride a horse, he just walked forward, but his speed was far faster than the cavalry galloping on horseback.

Whenever he passed through the crowd, even if he didn't deliberately line up the crowd. Everyone will involuntarily get out of the way. This is not Xia Fan's deliberate doing, but the divine effect that his own body protection mana will inevitably produce after his strength reaches the divine spirit realm. It seems to be an invisible barrier to protect him, absolutely impervious to cold and heat, wind and rain.

Of course, if Xia Fan wanted to rein in, it was not impossible, but he didn't do it, and even the coercion on his body was not completely reined in, in order to deter these soldiers.

Leading troops pays attention to both grace and power, and the so-called grace is naturally rewarding merit, fairness and fairness. In addition to punishing mistakes, the commander's own personal strength is also one of the aspects. 30,000 of Xia Fan's 80,000 troops were newly collected, and it was when people's hearts were unstable, if they blindly showed kindness, it would be easy to make them arrogant, so Xia Fan used his own coercion to deter them, lest they move any unchanging minds.

In addition, Xia Fan showed strong strength and coercion, which was also an excitement for the original 50,000 soldiers. Many times in the army, the lower-level soldiers are never afraid that the main general is too fierce and fierce, but afraid that the main general is too soft. After all, fighting a war is a desperate effort to tie your head to your belt. If there is a fierce person taking the lead, the possibility of winning will be much greater, so the more majestic Xia Fan is now, the more awe everyone will be, and it will make everyone have more confidence in victory.

Xia Fan understands the subtle emotions in the hearts of the big-headed soldiers below, so he does this, to put it bluntly, it is to use an alternative way to boost their morale and confidence.

After entering the Qingfeng Path, the road narrowed a lot all of a sudden, but Xia Fan was not affected, even in the most crowded places, he could easily float through.

After walking for about ten miles, Xia Fan noticed that there was a lot of blood sprinkled on the ground, and even the grass and trees along the way were splashed a lot. Although it had been simply cleaned up, it was still possible to guess from the blood stains that had been left behind how fierce the battle had been before.

Of course, the blood needs to be cleaned up, because if it is not cleaned up, it will cause the ground to be slippery, and if you don't do it well, you will lose your footing. In addition, the blood on the ground is also easy to increase the psychological burden of the passing soldiers. In addition, the remains of both your own soldiers and the corpses of your enemies must be cleaned up. Of course, Xia Fan doesn't need to worry about these things, there are special people in the army to handle them properly.

Seeing the blood and guessing that the battle in front of him was extremely fierce, Xia Fan couldn't help but speed up his pace.

After a few dodges, Xia Fan had already come to the front line of the battle between the two sides, only to see that the scouts on both sides were fighting frantically, and no one wanted to take half a step back. Yukong Yue stood aside and watched with a cold face, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What's wrong, your face is so ugly?" Xia Fan asked as he walked up to Yu Kongyue's side.

"The defenders of White Rock are far more tenacious than I had anticipated. Yu Kongyue pointed to the enemy scouts on the opposite side who obviously had no possibility of winning, but they still fought to the death, and said: "The overall strength of these people is slightly worse than ours, but the will to fight is very tenacious. It's not that our people are ruthless, it's that they don't take their lives seriously. ”

......As he spoke, the sound of a blade stabbing into his body was heard, and the corpses of two enemy scouts fell to the ground.

Although they were dead, their eyes were still round, and the last expression on their faces was one of hatred and resentment.

"How long is it to get to White Rock City?" Xia Fan asked.

"At least one hundred and thirty miles. Yu Kongyue said: "Qingfeng Ridge is not only long, but also wide, and this Qingfeng Trail is just in the middle, so even if it is crossed, it is one hundred and fifty or sixty miles long. What I'm worried about now is not that the scouts in front are frantically resisting us, but that someone has already sent a message to White Rock City, so when the defenders over there come to reinforce, there will be battles everywhere in front of us for the first hundred and thirty miles, and we will continue to fight like this, I don't know when we will be able to seize White Rock City. ”

"There's no need to rush. Xia Fan waved his hand and said, "Ordinary scouts are not good, isn't there still my soldiers and horses." ”

While speaking, Xia Fan had already sacrificed the Ten Thousand Soul Banners, summoned Dudu, who had been cultivating in it before, and said, "Dudu, let some soul bodies come out and open this passage as soon as possible." ”

"Yes. With a sound of response, he immediately released the souls of a dozen pure-blooded spirit beasts, and immediately ordered them to attack the scouts in front of him.

These pure-blooded spirit beasts were all huge when they were alive, even after becoming a soul body, they were still behemoths, at this time, Dudu summoned them, almost any one of them could block the entire Qingfeng Trail tightly, and then even if they didn't deliberately attack the enemy scouts on the opposite side, they only needed to bury their heads and run wildly, and they could basically crush them effortlessly.

You must know that the strength of a pure-blooded spirit beast is equivalent to that of a monk in the Transformation God Realm, and this kind of strength must have an advantage over ordinary soldiers. Not to mention that the souls of these pure-blooded spirit beasts are condensed, and their strength is huge, and they are full of impact when they run with all their might, and they are not very afraid of general attacks, so they run all the way through with a bang, just like a road roller, no matter how tenacious the enemy scouts who block the way, in the face of such a simple and rough attack method, they are either squeezed down from the breeze path, and don't know where they fall into meat sauce, or they are directly hit and trampled by the souls of more than ten pure-blood spirit beasts before and after, trampled into a ball of flesh.
