Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Expedition of the Great Army (4)

Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Great Army Goes Out (4)

The Daozi army divided into three routes and marched towards the dark forest. Jiang Chen watched the left and right armies leave, and he was really worried in his heart.

Although the military orders he issued were very clear, he was not sure how much these famous Taoist masters would listen to and whether they would strictly follow them. As long as there is a large road that cannot be pressed and launches an offensive in advance, or there is a large army that marches slowly and does not reach the encircled position in time, the 100,000 Dao army will not be able to form an encirclement of the dark forest, giving the demon beasts a chance to escape. This valley north wasteland is very vast, if the demon beasts are running around, it will be difficult for the 100,000 Dao army to hunt them one by one.

However, the worst result is to let some of the demon beasts escape, and the safety of the 100,000 Dao army itself will not be too threatened.

Even if it is difficult to unite as one, a hundred thousand Dao troops are still much better than a thousand Dao troops! If there are only one thousand Dao troops, they can only hide in Tibet and destroy the lone demon beasts one by one, lest they encounter a large number of demon beasts; while the 100,000 Dao army can sweep across the entire Gubei wasteland, and they can also drive the demon beasts to one place and encircle and destroy them.

Jiang Chen sat in the middle army and slowly marched north. The military orders he issued were all copied from the art of war, although it was a little blunt, but it had a good effect on the demon beasts that were more than brave and lacking in intelligence. The key to this battle is not whether there is a mistake in the art of war, nor whether the military strength is sufficient, but whether the military orders can be effectively implemented.

Along the way, the army encountered many demon beasts. Jiang Chen ordered to use Dao weapons such as the Xuantie Bow, the Bronze Bow, and the Dao Cannon to attack the demon beasts from a long distance, forcing the demon beasts to flee north, and finally they could only flee into the dark forest. The army only encircled and did not kill, and before the three-way army formed an encirclement, it was not possible to act rashly and frighten a large number of demon beasts in the forest.

The middle route army marched slowly, and although it encountered some demon beasts along the way, it was not enough to resist the advance of the large army, and the right route army marched all the way quickly, arriving at the place designated by Jiang Chen half a day early, which was located on a plain to the east of the dark forest.

A Lieutenant Qiu suggested to the commander of the Right Route Army, the General Wind Valley Lord, that the Right Route Army should be the first to arrive, and that it could launch a strong attack in advance, and with the strength of the 30,000 Dao Heroes of the Right Route Army, it would be enough to level the dark forest and make the greatest contribution.

The Lord of the Wind Valley smiled slightly, and said: "If the 100,000 Dao Heroes march to fight, if they win, it means that my Jianghu Scattered Cultivation is not a plate of scattered sand, and has no combat power; No matter whether we win or lose, it will not hurt the little reputation that we have made in the rivers and lakes over the years. However, if I don't obey the military order and compete for military merits, I will end up with the truth and offend other Jianghu Taoists. Qiu Daoyou asked Feng to attack someone in advance, could it be that Feng made a fool of himself?"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Captain Qiu hurriedly denied it, and was sincerely afraid: "The suggestion of his subordinates is very stupid, please don't take it to heart!"

The Lord of Wind Valley snorted coldly, and then said loudly: "Pass the order, the army will stick here, lay fortifications, and be sure to keep the water guarding on the right side of this dark forest impassable, and don't let go even a fly!"

All the sergeants were ordered to act, and the Lord of Wind Valley immediately sent a rune paper crane to convey the message to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen received the message and was immediately overjoyed: "The right route army has been in place, and it strictly abides by the military order, and there is no unauthorized attack! Next, as long as the left route army outflanks the left rear of the dark forest, and the middle route army attacks from the front, it will be able to wipe out all the demon beasts in the dark forest!"

An hour later, Jiang Chen's mid-route army had also reached the south of the dark forest. This dark forest is full of trees that are decades or hundreds of years old, with dense foliage, and there is little sunlight in the depths of the forest. The howls of many demon beasts came and went, and they could be heard outside the forest.

Jiang Chen ordered the army to stop marching and stand by in place, so as not to disturb the demon beasts in the forest. He anxiously waited for the message from the Left Route Army, and from time to time he took out a rune paper crane to see if there was any news from it.

After waiting for a long time, there was not much left before the agreed time, and there was still no news from the Left Route Army, Jiang Chen was a little breathless, hesitating whether to start a strong attack. Finally, half an hour after the agreed time passed, news came from Fu Paper Crane that the Left Route Army had also arrived in place.

Jiang Chen was overjoyed and shouted the order: "Pass the order, attack immediately!"

The five Dao cannons left by the Dao Court were lined up, and behind each Dao artillery, there were dozens of Dao heroes standing side by side. These Dao Heroes gathered their respective cultivation Fire Attribute Dao Qi in the Dao Artillery, and continuously compressed it to form a dense Dao Qi Fire Mass.

When the Dao Qi contained in the Dao Cannon reaches a certain level, the Dao Cannon will shoot out a flame projectile. This ball of fire is like a meteor that can fly for tens of miles and land in the depths of the dark forest.

"Boom, boom!" Each time a flame bomb fell, a large cloud of red flames would rise, blowing up trees within a radius of dozens of feet, leaving a large charred crater.

The five Dao artillery guns continued to attack, and the Dao heroes who replenished the Dao Qi were replaced one after another.

Soon, the monsters hiding in the dark forest were alarmed. First of all, a large number of demon birds suddenly flew out of the forest, and there were thousands of them.

Immediately after that, a large number of beasts ran out of the depths of the forest and fled outward, like thousands of horses.

The Xuantie Giant Bow, the Bronze Dao Bow, and thousands of rune arrows had already been prepared, and as soon as these demon beasts and monsters approached, they were killed by a volley of all the Dao Heroes.

Some of the family sects that participated in the Daozi Army also brought the Dao weapons of the treasure of the town gate to the battlefield. The treasure of the town of Sword Casting Villa is a huge Dao sword. The sword was ten feet long and seven feet wide, and it was extremely heavy, and it was carried by four chariots.

There are several ways to stimulate the use of this sword, the simplest one is to gather the sword qi of all the Daoists, as long as it is a Daoist who cultivates the way of the sword, he exerts his sword qi and injects it into the giant sword, and the giant sword will glow with a faint sword light. If hundreds of sword cultivators blessed the sword qi at the same time, the giant sword would become shining with sword light, and even a sword would appear.

Under the manipulation of several Daoists such as the owner of Feng Zhuang and other Sword Casting Villas, the sword light on the giant sword will transform into a three-foot-long spiritual light small sword, and then slash towards the group of demon beasts in the distance, which is not only very gorgeous, but also extraordinary, and it is in the limelight.

Sword Casting Villa is only slightly famous for creating and selling all kinds of Dao Sword Dao weapons on the rivers and lakes, and their Taoism and strength are unknown.

There was a strong attack by the middle route army in the south, and the demon beasts could not be impacted, so they could only turn around and flee in other directions. At this time, the left and right armies were also in place, and the three armies contracted and oppressed together, surrounding this group of demon beasts. The monster has no way to retreat, so it can only rush around and kill!

A battle has begun! It is also a demon beast that is surging like a tide, but this time Jiang Chen has 100,000 Dao troops in his hands, what is there to be afraid of in the face of this fierce demon tide!
