It's just that in these battles, the casualties of the rebels were extremely heavy.

Although the Tartars are declining, their military strength is still very strong.

In addition to the Huihui cannon, which was used to run rampant in the world, the Tartars also made the copper firecracker, which was an early type of artillery.

The rebels fought against the Tartars, and before they could engage in close combat, a large number of soldiers were killed and wounded.

Especially when it comes to siege cities, it's almost like taking human lives.

After capturing Ningguofu, Li Fei ordered to recuperate for the time being, digest the territory that had been laid, build a high wall, and accumulate grain.

He announced the order in front of all the soldiers during the post-war celebrations.

He also told the soldiers that in order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, he planned to return to the Bright Peak, converge the Five Elements Banner, and work together to develop a weapon of war that is more powerful than the Tartars.

Hearing Li Fei's words, all the soldiers fully felt the sect leader's care for them, and their hearts were moved and they became more loyal to him.

Zhu Yuanzhang and others were also impressed by Li Fei's benevolence and righteousness, and this order was also extremely correct from a strategic point of view, and naturally it was not slackened.

Although the rebel army is now growing stronger, the Tartar army is eyeing the east and south, and Zhang Shicheng is hindering it in the southeast, which can be said to be an enemy on all sides.

Zhang Shicheng is a big gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who started by selling salt, has sufficient money and grain, and has a large number of people and horses, and belongs to a separatist force.

At this time, if you expand wantonly, take too big a step, and disperse your forces, it is easy to capsize.

Although Zhang Shicheng and Mingjiao were both rebels, he had nothing to do with Mingjiao, but was hostile to Mingjiao.

Both sides regard each other as their number one rival in the world.

Li Fei spent a few months completely gathering the military spirit of the Eastern Mingjiao Righteous Army into his own hands, even including Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

Now they are just a group of generals under Li Fei.

……

After bidding farewell to Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others, Li Fei led the crowd back to the west.

Now that more than half a year has passed since leaving the Guangming Peak, the main altar must have been rebuilt.

It's time to go back and make final preparations and fight the Tartars to the death.

On this day, Li Fei and his entourage had just left Yingtian less than 30 miles, when they suddenly heard two abnormal sounds of "ding" from the bushes on the side of the road.

The next moment, thirty or forty people poured out of the forest.

These people were all wearing wide white robes, and the corners of the white robes were embroidered with a flame shape, which was actually the symbol of the people in the Ming Sect.

Just look at those people, all of them are tall, and their faces are deeper than those of the people of Middle-earth, but they are a group of Fanbang people.

At the head were two men and a woman, the two men were taller, the tallest one was bearded and blue-eyed, and the other had a yellow beard and an eagle's nose.

The woman had black hair, no different from a Middle-earther, but her eyes were extremely light, almost colorless, and her melon seed face was about thirty years old.

After the three of them walked out of the bushes, their hands held high, each holding a black card more than two feet long.

I only heard the tallest person in the middle say loudly: "The Holy Fire Order of the Ming Sect has arrived, the leader of the Middle Earth Branch, the Right Envoy of Light, the Lion King of the Guardian Sect, and the Bat King, if you don't kneel down to greet you, when will you wait?" ”

His voice was inaccurate and stiff.

Wei Yixiao glanced at Fan Yao, his face was full of inexplicability, but Li Fei instantly knew the identity of the person who came.

Li Fei looked at the three of them with a smile and said, "The Flowing Cloud Envoy, the Wonderful Wind Envoy, and the Huiyue Envoy of the Persian Ming Sect, you must have been waiting for us for a long time, right?" ”

In the original plot, the three envoys knew where the Spirit Snake Island was and went straight to the Spirit Snake Island.

At that time, Dai Qisi learned the location of Ice and Fire Island from Wu Lie's mouth, and in order to deceive the Dragon Slayer Knife, she took Xie Xun from Ice and Fire Island to Spirit Snake Island, but she happened to bump into the three envoys.

But now those plots have not happened, and the three envoys have been hovering on the Spirit Snake Island for some time, and they have never waited for Dai Qisi to return, so they have to return to Middle-earth first.

When they returned to Middle-earth, they happened to find out that the leader of the Ming Sect in Middle-earth was leading a large army to attack the city in Yingtianfu, so they went directly to Yingtianfu to block Li Fei.

The Liuyun envoy at the head said happily: "You actually know our identity, has our prestige spread to Middle-earth?" ”

"Since you know us, why don't you kneel down to greet us?"

Li Fei said amusedly: "Liuyun Envoy, are you making a mistake?" I am the leader of the Ming Sect of Middle-earth, and I am very grateful for you to find the Holy Fire Order for me, but let me kneel down to greet you, are you too trusted? ”

Liuyun said seriously: "There is no Tuoda, we are the envoys of the Chief Sect, you are the leader of the sect, in terms of identity, we are higher than you." ”

"Besides, the rules of the religion are clear, seeing the Holy Fire Order is like seeing the sect leader, if you don't have the Holy Fire Order, this sect leader will not live up to the name."

As soon as Liuyun's voice fell, the yellow-bearded breeze envoy said: "My head sect leader received the message that the sect leader of the Middle Earth branch sect was missing, and the group of disciples killed each other, and the sect was in decline. ”

"It is the sect leader who ordered the three envoys of Fengyun and the Moon to come to rectify the affairs of the church, close the sect from top to bottom, and follow the orders together, and there must be no mistakes."

Xie Xun, who was beside Li Fei, took the initiative to speak: "Although the Ming Sect of Middle Earth originated from Persia, it has been an independent sect for hundreds of years, and it has never been under the jurisdiction of the Persian Patriarch, and the Patriarch has never interfered in the affairs of our Sect. ”

"Now that the three envoys have suddenly come to Middle-earth, they are going to take over the affairs of the sect, but what is the reason?"

The Liuyun Envoy struck each other with the two black Flame Orders in his hand, and there was a loud sound, the sound was neither gold nor jade, and it was very strange.

After knocking on it, Liuyun said: "This is the Holy Fire Order of the Ming Sect of Middle Earth, the previous sect leader surnamed Shi was not good, and he was lost, and now we will retrieve it." ”

"If you come to see the Holy Fire Order, you still don't listen to the Sect Master?"

The Shi Sect Master was originally Yang Dingtian's predecessor, and it stands to reason that he should say "the former former sect leader".

He only said "predecessor" at this time, obviously not recognizing Li Fei's position as the sect leader.

Li Fei laughed and said, "Since whoever is in the hands of the Holy Fire Order will represent the sect leader, then if this Holy Fire Order is in my hands, my sect leader can be regarded as worthy of the name, right?" ”

After saying this, he pulled out half of the Heavenly Sword with a "bang", and with a bang, he swung it one after another, provoking a series of sword qi and slashing at the three of them.

The faces of the three of them changed drastically, and they each jumped away, dodging the attack of the sword qi.

That's what Li Fei wants.

It is clearly written in the original book that the martial arts of the three envoys of Fengyun and Moon, if they are single-handed, they can't beat Dai Qisi.

However, the three of them are good at the art of joint attacks, and when they join forces, their combat power has increased several times.

didn't know their martial arts paths, and Zhang Wuji, who fought them for the first time, was invincible.

However, today's Li Fei not only has higher martial arts than Zhang Wuji in the original plot, but also understands the characteristics of their martial arts.

Although the Heavenly Sword was only half cut off, it was longer than an ordinary long sword, and at this time, the half-cut sword was still nearly two feet long, almost equivalent to a short sword without a point.

Martial arts and weapons are not weaker than the opponent, or even stronger, and knowing the characteristics of the opponent's martial arts, the outcome of this battle is almost doomed from the beginning.

Just when the three of them had to disperse in order to dodge the sword qi, Li Fei unfolded his body technique, flew forward, and stabbed his right shoulder with the broken sword at Liuyun.

Liuyun stared at Li Fei's broken sword, ready to parry or dodge.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that when the broken sword was still more than a foot away from the Liuyun Envoy, a red light suddenly appeared from the broken section of the broken sword.

The red light instantly extended forward a foot and a half, piercing the right shoulder of the flowing cloud.
