Chapter 196: Opening the Altar

The mighty army of the Central Capital opened the Qinghe River and formed a long "black line" in the snow. Minxing, who had joined forces with Xu Lin, stopped his horse on a high slope, looking at the Qinghe River from afar, and there was still a trace of worry between his eyebrows that had not been completely relieved.

Among the generals in the capital, Min Xing is the one who knows Xiao Yu the most, although this understanding is very thin, but it is much better than blind optimism or ignorance. In his opinion, Xiao Yu is a person with a strong sense of revenge and good at military and dangerous moves, and even said that Xiao Yu has put himself to death many times to survive. Although such tricks are not enough in the eyes of some people in the art of war, the art of war pays attention to the right and the strange complement each other, and it is impossible to blindly be upright, but blindly taking the sword to the edge is easier to walk more at night and eventually encounter ghosts. But in Xiao Yujun, there is one more biggest variable, Daozong. The cultivator resources of the Dao Sect are enough to make Xiao Yu's trickery methods have countless changes, even Xu Lin, who has an army of 230,000 in his own ranks, cannot be underestimated.

Looking at the vanguard troops who had already stepped on the solid ice and began to cross the river, Min Xing's eyelids jumped involuntarily somehow, and a trace of inexplicable uneasiness flashed in his heart.

At this moment, a horse quickly broke into the military formation and went straight to where Minxing was.

Min Xing turned his head to look, it was the scout in the army, at this time the scout on horseback was covered in blood, and when he was still three zhang away from Min Xing, he grabbed the reins, rolled off the horse, knelt down on one knee and said: "Qi Yu Dudu, the grassland cavalry was found three miles along the river, the number is unknown, and all the scouts sent by our army were killed in battle, but only one escaped with his life." “

Min Xing, who was on horseback, waved his hand, motioned for the scout to go down to rest and heal his wounds, and then turned his horse's head and galloped in the direction of Xu Lin.

After coming to Xu Lin's place, Min Xing waved back the soldiers on both sides, and then said to Xu Lin in a deep voice: "Governor, the grassland army is on the opposite side of the Qinghe, the specific number is unknown, but it should be planned to defend the Qinghe line, I'm afraid that when we cross the river, let the disciples of the Taoist Sect take the opportunity to break through the Qinghe......"

Xu Lin said calmly: "Even if we break the ice surface of the Qinghe River when we cross the river, how many people can be trapped? at most five thousand horsemen, and the Qinghe Ice Breaking, it is not only us who is blocked, but also the grassland army, we can't take advantage of the situation to rush and kill, just let us lose five thousand horsemen It doesn't matter much to the overall situation." ”

Min Xing asked cautiously: "Governor Dadu, then should we continue to cross the river? Five thousand cavalry is really not a small number, if it is defeated before the battle, it will also cause a lot of damage to morale. ”

Xu Lin just waved his hand, "Five thousand horses, I still have a loss, and the Dao Sect may not dare to break the river, it is easy to break the river, but it is difficult to freeze it again, unless Xiao Yu wants to trap himself in the Mobei grassland, Duan will not dare to do such a thing." ”

At this time, there were scouts who reported the military situation, but it was the patrol cavalry on both wings of the army, and there was a news that Xu Lin was slightly puzzled by the news that the two grassland armies had crossed the Qinghe River and appeared hundreds of miles away from the two wings of Xu Lin's army.

When Min Xing heard the news, he also felt a little crying and laughing, Xiao Yu's army was already less than half of Xu Lin's troops, and now he was divided into three routes, two ways to outflank Xu Lin's army, and all the way to resist the river. Is Xiao Yu crazy? Since the inexplicable withdrawal of troops from the first battle of Ula Grassland, Xiao Yu's faint hands have been slapping one after another, and the ten principles of encircling him have been forgotten.

Xu Lin ordered: "Ignore them first, guard the two wings, speed up and cross the river, and strive to defeat Xiao Yu's army in one fell swoop." ”

Min Xing took the order and left, while Xu Lin was sitting in the Chinese army, staring at the immovable green river like a silver belt.

It didn't take long for the vanguard cavalry of Zhongdu to be trapped on the bank of the river with the grassland cavalry, and the grassland cavalry, which has always been known for its mobility and flexibility, actually gave up its advantages this time, and instead confronted the cavalry of Zhongdu.

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Xu Lin's originally calm face, sacrificing his own strengths, using his own shortcomings, attacking the enemy's strengths, and reading all the military books into the dog's stomach?

However, the result was quite unexpected to Xu Lin, the grassland cavalry did not have the expected defeat, but had the strength to fight, and the casualty ratio of the Zhongdu cavalry was about three to two. However, after seeing the grassland cavalry in battle, Xu Lin was relieved, it was the most elite 10,000 Khan king's personal guards in Xiao Yu's hands.

Xu Lin whispered to himself: "After killing the old foundation left by Lin Yuan, what are you going to fight me with?"

Xu Lin quietly looked in the direction of the battlefield. As the follow-up troops of Zhongdu joined the battlefield, the whole began to advance continuously, while the cavalry of the steppe began to slowly retreat.

The Great Tent of the Prairie on the other side.

Several grassland generals were also watching the battle situation coldly, and it had been an hour.

Lu Shixing sat on horseback, leaning forward slightly, looking at the battlefield, his lips moving slightly, thoughtful.

Still indifferent.

Duoduo, the deputy commander of the Khan's personal guard, was already a little breathless, and looked at Lu Shixing, who was still sitting firmly on Mount Tai, again and again.

On the battlefield, half of the Khan's personal guards, who can be called the last elite of the steppe, have been killed.

The strength of the grassland army is far inferior to that of the Zhongdu army, and at this time, the troops are divided into three routes, and it is too difficult to fight against the Zhongdu army with only one road.

After Duoduo looked at the battlefield, he said angrily to Lu Shixing: "If it goes on like this, Hugh said that it will be three days, even if it is one day, we will not be able to hold it!"

Lu Shixing hummed lightly, still indifferent.

Zhuge Gong remained silent and looked in the direction of the battlefield, but behind him, thirty Dao Sect disciples with indifferent expressions had gathered unconsciously.

A middle-aged Taoist with a long sword looked at the two deputy commanders coldly, and then looked at Zhuge Gong on the side.

Zhuge Gong shook his head slightly.

The middle-aged man's expression faded and he stepped back slightly.

Dordort shook his horse's head and turned away.

Lu Shixing said: "Duoduo, it is the military order of the horse to be observed, not the military order of my Lu Shixing, you can take my order as a fart, but you still have to listen to the military order of the horse, if you don't listen, you will die." ”

A trace of hideousness flashed on Duoduo's face, "Don't use the horse to press me, if this battle is lost, Lao Tzu will fight for this life, and he will kill you with his own hands!"

Lu Shixing said disapprerovitically: "Whatever you want." ”

Two hundred miles behind the grassland army, a three-story altar stands majestically.

The first layer of the altar covers an area of more than 100 acres, the second layer is one-third of the size of the first layer, and the first layer is one-third of the size of the second layer.

Each layer of the altar is carved with dense seals of large and small symbols, and there are statues of various spirit animals.

Four white jade stairs start from the first layer of the Xuan Altar and lead to the third layer of the Xuan Altar.

According to the three hundred and sixty Great Zhou Tian 1 star directions, the first layer of the Xuan Altar was already full of three hundred and sixty-five Dao disciples.

Bai Liyin and the three Dao Sect elders stood on the second layer of the Xuan Altar, corresponding to the four divine beasts, but only the Chinese divine beasts still had vacancies.

A young man in a black robe stepped up the white jade staircase.

Climb the stairs.

Walked through the first layer of the altar, and walked until the second floor of the altar to stop.

Standing in the position of the central divine beast.

And at his feet, there is a Tianzi Yuqing talisman seal.

The four Dao Sect elders bowed their heads lightly.

The young man returned the salute, and then said in a deep voice, "Listen to the order. ”

Whether it was a Dao Sect elder or a Dao Sect disciple, they were all solemn and replied, "No." ”

Xiao Yu spit out two words and said, "Open the altar!"
