As a cultivator in the late stage of the Imperial Qi Realm, Feng Niu'er's biggest dream now is to break through the Yuan Shen Realm.

But he started his cultivation too late, and his qualifications are very good among ordinary people, but compared with those dazzling wizards in the army, it is still far from it.

So under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to break through the Yuan Shen Realm and become a real big man in his life.

The Yuan Shen Realm is all big shots, this is not only Feng Niu'er's cognition, but also everyone's understanding. When he arrived at the Yuan Shen Realm, he was a general at the level of a commander in the Great Qi Army, even if he couldn't become the commander of a battalion, his status would not be too bad.

That's what can be called a general.

For Feng Niu'er, who is from the countryside, if he can be called a general in this life, then even if he does not live in vain in this life, how can his descendants get rid of the identity of a mud leg, he can be regarded as a glorious lintel.

The golden four years of cultivation have passed, and Feng Niu'er, who is now the commander of the Yanmen Army, is now thinking about killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, only in this way can he get the 10,000 yuan Dan rewarded by the imperial court or the general, and cross the threshold of the Yuan Shen Realm.

This time to fight at Chengtian Pass, Feng Niu'er geared up and prepared to do a big job.

There are not many defenders of Chengtian Pass, and there are only more than 20,000 people at present.

There are more than 70,000 soldiers in the Yanmen Army, and the troops have been consumed for many days in the fierce battle at Yanmen Pass, even if the 30,000 private troops of the Zhao family are added, the soldiers and horses in the entire Jin Land are less than 100,000.

Compared with the Jingcheng Pass in the south, the Chengtian Pass is slightly inferior in terms of the size and importance of the pass, so the number of troops is not as large as the Jingcheng Pass.

As soon as Feng Niu'er arrived at Chengtian Pass, he knew that it was not easy to hold the pass.

In terms of the danger of the terrain, the solidity of the city, the completeness of all kinds of fortifications, and the strictness of the city defense system, Chengtian Pass can undoubtedly not be compared with Yanmen Pass. Therefore, Yanmen Pass is the world's Xiongguan, and Chengtianguan is not famous.

There will be a bloody battle next.

It was in this situation that after staying in Chengtian Pass for a few days, Feng Niu'er discovered that something was wrong.

There are too many cultivators in the army, to the point of being incredible.

The regular configuration of the Great Qi army is that the level of a battalion commander will be the Yuan Shen Realm, and when he fought in Yanmen Pass before, the reason why there were many cultivators in the army was that the Zhao clan temporarily sent many clansmen over.

And now, the 10,000 Zhao private army here in Chengtian Pass, the number of cultivators is more than that of the Yanmen army, the Yuan Shen Realm has reached a terrifying more than twenty people, and the Imperial Qi Realm is also twice that of the Yanmen Army!

You must know that in the 10,000 Tianyuan Army, there are only a dozen people in the Yuan God Realm.

In the battle of Fengming Mountain in the seventh year of Qianfu, the number of cultivators of the Tianyuan Army once shocked the Yanmen Army.

At that time, if it weren't for the fact that the Yanmen Army had many armors, many Fu soldiers, and skillful infantry combat methods, Zhao Ning and others charged into battle, restricting the Tianyuan Army Yuan God Realm at Baifengkou, and the Yanmen Army would not have been able to win at all.

And now, among the defenders of Chengtian Pass, the number of cultivators not only caught up with the Tianyuan Army, but also greatly surpassed! If it was compared to the ordinary Great Qi army, the number of cultivators in the 10,000 defenders of Chengtian Pass was five times that of the former!

What a terrible army!

Feng Niu'er came to Chengtian Pass because he wanted to make a military exploit and break through the Yuanshen Realm, and then he would be promoted to a commander and become a general, but now he was at a loss to find that even if he achieved the Yuanshen Realm, he would not be able to be the commander of a battalion.

If you just look at the realm, all the commanders here are all in the primordial god realm

Anaphase.

In the early days of the Yuan Shen Realm, he could only be a commander here.

Feng Niu'er can still stay in the position of commander for now, just because he has military achievements.

If he hadn't made military exploits before, with his current realm, he wouldn't even be able to keep his position as a commander.

"Is the army already so strong?"

On the one hand, he felt a lot of pressure, and on the other hand, he was also excited.

There are so many masters and strong men in the army, and the combat power is no longer the same, and the certainty of winning every war is much greater. For each soldier, this means that the chances of survival have increased, and the difficulty of achieving feats has decreased.

"Next, we have to fight harder and make more contributions to our brothers. In the end, Feng Niu'er's fighting spirit became unprecedentedly high.

Since meritorious service has become simpler, it is necessary to fight hard, not to mention anything else, at least the position of the commander must be kept. The younger sister at home is still waiting for him to return to his hometown, and the relatives of Feng San and others are still waiting for him to take care of them.

Soon, Feng Niu'er discovered that the officers and soldiers of the Hedong Army in the entire Chengtian Pass were similar to him in spirit.

The soldiers who came from Yanmen Pass originally thought that the local army had poor combat strength and was worried that the other party would drag them back, but now they found that there were so many cultivators in the Zhao family's private army, and most of the generals were Zhao clan members and veterans of the Yanmen army.

Just when Feng Niu'er was expecting war to come, he received a strange order.

The Chengtian Pass guard mobilized a large number of soldiers to go out of the pass, and took advantage of the clear moonlight on the night of the full moon to cut down trees in the mountains according to the mountain situation, as if to create a circle of forest-free areas to isolate Chengtian Pass and the mountains.

Feng Niu'er didn't know what this military order meant.

But here, he met Zhao Ning, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

"I already knew that you were already a commander, and I wanted to find a time to celebrate you, but the situation was tense and complicated, and I didn't have the time. ”

Because of the order of "Shangguan summons", Feng Niu'er, who rushed to the top of the mountain, saw a great cultivator with fluttering clothes and a smile on his face in the mountain wind.

Taking the wine jug thrown by Zhao Ning, Feng Niu'er's heart was warm.

He didn't expect that with Zhao Ning's status and weight, he would pay so much attention to his affairs, and he was flattered, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Seven years later, in the minds of the officers and men of the Yanmen Army, Zhao Ning was no different from the god of war; after the war, he did not hesitate to beat up the governors and was dismissed from office for the sake of the military merits of the officers and men of the three armies, which made the officers and men even more grateful to him.

Now, Zhao Ning is already a great cultivator in the middle of the Wang Ji Realm, and in the entire Great Qi Dynasty, he belongs to one of the top existences, and the eyes of the soldiers looking at Zhao Ning have long been not much different from looking at the gods, and they are all worshipping from the heart.

For Feng Niu'er personally, Zhao Ning was still a great benefactor who helped him and his family, saved his life and changed his fate, and he was very grateful to Zhao Ning.

And right now, Zhao Ning actually knew about such a trivial matter as his promotion to commander, and he still wanted to celebrate him, and Feng Niu'er's tears of emotion were about to flow.

"Don't dare to worry about General Lao, humble ...... Do it first for respect!" Feng Niu'er was not good at words, her face was flushed, and finally she raised her neck and drank all the liquor in the wine jug.

Zhao Ning took a sip casually, and after expressing it, even if he did his best, he exchanged a few words with Feng Niu'er, Zhao Ning pointed to the soldiers who were busy in the mountains, "Do you know why we are logging?"

Feng Niu'er knew that Zhao Ning was taking the school exam, if he answered well, he might be recognized by Zhao Ning, which would be of great benefit to him, but if he answered wrong, he would lose an opportunity to be paid attention to by Zhao Ning.

He didn't dare to be careless, quickly observed the situation, mobilized his brain, combined with his knowledge of many years of experience in the army, and said cautiously:

"The soldiers cut down trees in the sparse forest according to the mountain, and construct an isolation zone, which can effectively prevent the spread of mountain fires.

"So the general, this is ...... Prepare for the Beihu army to attack Chengtian Pass with fire, or prepare to use fire to destroy the invading enemy?"

Zhao Ning smiled slightly, and was very satisfied with Feng Niu'er's answer, "Not bad." ”

Seeing that Zhao Ning recognized his judgment, Feng Niu'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.

"Tell me more, do I want to guard against the Beihu army attacking Chengtian Pass, or do I plan to take the initiative to attack the invading enemy?" Zhao Ning continued to ask.

Feng Niu'er's mind became nervous again, and after a little thought, he said tentatively: "The Yanmen Army has always advocated taking the initiative to attack, and since it has already taken action, it is better to take the initiative to attack and destroy the enemy than to guard against the enemy's attack."

"As long as the trees we cut down are transported to a suitable place and ignited when the enemy is coming, the fire can instantly ignite the barren mountains and cause the enemy to be buried in the fire!"

Speaking of this, Feng Niu'er groaned: "The only problem is that we have to know when the enemy is coming.

"Before the Great War, the cultivators and masters of both sides were active in front of Chengtian Pass and Zhending City, intercepting and killing each other's scouts to ensure that the movements of their own armies were not discovered.

"Our King Extreme Realm cultivators don't have a significant advantage, so it's hard to break the balance, and it's impossible to detect the opponent's movements in time.

"And when the enemy army comes to attack, it will inevitably use the great cultivator to open the way, although our masters can also contain it, but if the army is preparing for a fire attack for too long, thousands of soldiers are active in the field, the target is conspicuous, and the traces may be exposed in advance.

"Therefore, we must quickly and accurately place the dead wood and fire in the right place on the eve of the enemy's arrival. In other words, if the army wants to arrange a fire attack, in fact, there is only one night of action time at most!"

Hearing this, the smile on Zhao Ning's face became two points thicker.

In Feng Niu'er's expectant and apprehensive gaze, he patted the other party's shoulder and encouraged: "It seems that you are talented in warfare, work hard in the future, and your path will definitely not stop at commanding." ”

Receiving Zhao Ning's almost promised personal admission, Feng Niu'er was overjoyed and hurriedly hugged his fists.

"Truth be told, tonight is the time for action. Go get to work. Tomorrow the Beihu army will come to attack, and then we will entertain them. After saying this, Zhao Ning looked at the mountains again.

In Feng Niu'er's eyes, Zhao Ning in front of him is like an immortal overlooking the world, with a peerless demeanor and everything under control.

Although he didn't know how Zhao Ning confirmed that the Beihu army would arrive at a suitable location for fire attack tomorrow, since the other party was sure, he had no reason not to believe it.

Pressing the urge to bow and worship that surged in his heart, Feng Niu'er respectfully hugged his fists and retreated.

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
