Xizi Town is not a big place, but it is next to a large ferry on the Hunan River. Therefore, the location here has also become relatively important, with the defeat of the imperial army in Xiyan Province and the siege of the main force, the Holy Cult Army has dispatched a large number of Holy Cult troops to attack in all directions, except for continuing to leave some soldiers and horses to surround it.

Forcibly occupying all counties and towns in Xiyan Province, Xiyan Province, which has just harvested autumn grain, can be said to be the most abundant cake, and occupying these places, you can obtain a large amount of grain, and suppressing the gate valve, you can obtain a large amount of wealth, and these two are the most basic parts of an army.

Although the Holy Religious Army is united by religious belief, what really makes the Holy Religious Army grow like a snowball is not faith, but the Ten Articles of the Holy Religion promulgated by the Holy Religion, and the most important one is that after joining the Holy Religious Army, a piece of land can be allocated first, and after meritorious service, more land can be divided according to the size of the military merit.

In the five hundred years of the Tianlong Empire, although the nobles have become noble, they are not enclosed and fat, but the birth of the gate valve has filled this gap, and these gate valves have squeezed the place even more, often a town, a county, and even most of the land in a city have been carved up by the large and small gate valves, and most of the people in the towns and cities almost live by the gate valves, these gate valves are only a name difference with the nobles, but the harm is far greater than the expansion of the nobles:

Because one is secret, the other is open, the aristocracy is always a little restrictive, but the gate valve is completely unrestricted, and this and oppression, almost let the local people appear one by one hidden emperors, and the local people are squeezed on the one hand, and on the other hand, they have to bear all kinds of taxes, which can be described as miserable, especially the local ** trend, which exacerbates this.

The Holy Religious Army took the civilian line and deeply understood the advantages of waging a civilian war, and in this way, the Holy Religious Army, which took religion as the skeleton, agitated propaganda, and after the division of fields was implemented in several places in the Songling Prefecture, the number of people joining the Holy Religious Army continued to surge.

Under this and great expansion, the military system of the Holy Cult Army was very chaotic, but it was not without a trace. In the Holy Religious Army, the flag is divided into small points, the highest general flag, and the lower part is divided into five element flags, which are gold, wood, and water. Fire, five flags of earth, and five flags are set up under the team flag "on the flag."

The scale of hanging the five-element flag is equivalent to a battalion of the empire, and there are almost 2,500 to 3,000 people under a general flag, but due to the recruitment of the Holy Cult Army in all parts of the occupied territory, almost wherever the Holy Cult goes, it will be propagandized, and one place will enthusiastically join, and the Holy Cultists will lead the soldiers and horses they have raised, put on the banner and begin to obey the rough command from above, and rush everywhere:

Maybe at the beginning, it was a ding, a team flag, but it is likely that after passing through two or three villages and towns, the number of people in this team of flags has swelled by two or three times, in short, with the flag, but there is no way to count the number of soldiers and horses, which is why Xiahou Yuan and Wen Chou have not been able to send back the military strength of the Holy Sect Army for a long time.

Xishui County, now can be described as a lively extraordinary, all kinds of holy flags like a big miscellaneous, take the seven or eight bamboos erected on the street, flags as an example, it is written on them, Shengjin under the jurisdiction of the village left team, and again, under the jurisdiction of the Holy Water under the jurisdiction of the party county five elements of the wooden flag, all kinds of flags are lined up, hanging the holy number is the most elite five-element flag soldier of the Holy Sect, and the disciples in the Holy Sect are also according to the five elements of scraping, so the most hung holy name, there is a general difference, and then, it is the name of the place, and finally mixed with the previous division of the five elements of the military system.

And today's Xishui County has successively driven more than a dozen soldiers and horses, including two general flags. There are six five-element flags, and seven team flags, although there are big and small, but they are self-reliant with each other, and there is no subordination, it can be said that the Holy Sect army is chaotic with pot porridge, but in the chaos, the heads of all the soldiers and horses are all Holy Sect members, so although it is chaotic, it has not lost control.

Soldiers and horses have been driven into Xishui County, all kinds of soldiers and horses are naturally to take a break, but also in the city to open recruiting points, there are people to prepare, in the future the Holy Religion is established, in order to get the corresponding reward, where will not sell their lives, whether the general flag or the five-element flag, or the team flag, in this county, everywhere shouting, pulling people, than the annual meeting is more lively.

As for the confiscated family wealth, it is natural that everyone who comes first has a share, and those who come later can only drink soup, Tian Wenhao took two soldiers dressed as Leng Zhuo's personal guards and galloped into Xishui County on a horse, and the secret language of the Holy Sect naturally quickly became a member of the Holy Sect.

didn't add oil and vinegar, just said that he found that the emperor ** had crossed Xiangshui and occupied the ferry, it seemed that it was a reinforcement sent by the Suzaku Mansion, and the number was not much, only two or three battalions, this number was naturally discussed by Leng Zhuo, and these holy sect troops were afraid that they would not dare to come, and they could not lead out the brigade, fifteen or six hundred people, not too much, not too little, not too little:

These became the general banner one by one, and the disciples of the Five Elements Banner Lord were loyal to the cause of the Holy Sect, and they all had some insight and ability, and the emperor ** sent soldiers and horses to cross Xiangshui Li actually attracted the attention of a cadre of people, and originally planned to rest here for a day, so he sent people to sweep the surrounding villages and towns, but he didn't expect the emperor ** to come and make trouble

A group of disciples gathered and discussed, three battalions of emperors, still wearing fiery red Vermilion Bird armor that should be the soldiers and horses of the Vermilion Bird Legion, although in the west, the strongest Vermilion Bird Legion in Chuzhou was surrounded by water and was about to become a dead bird, but the combat effectiveness of the Vermilion Bird Legion was undoubted, and along the way, they occasionally encountered those scattered imperial soldiers and horses, which also made them suffer a lot of losses:

And they know the strength of their soldiers, although there are also some strong people to join, but more rely on crowd tactics, and when they encounter hard bones, they all ask the main force of the Holy Sect to take action, they only go to gnaw what they can gnaw, and the empire does not understand the composition of the force on their side, but they have a thorough understanding of the empire's military system

One battalion of the empire, there are at most three or five earth spirit-level powerhouses, there are also seven or eight psychics, and most of the rest are soldiers, and three battalions, the earth spirits are no more than ten, and the disciples on their side 'earth spirit intermediate two' earth spirit first six, the rest are also psychic master-level, for example, the most important thing is that all their soldiers and horses add up, almost eight thousand people, against one thousand five hundred people, should be able to eat.

After a discussion, two team flags were left to be stationed in the county seat, and the other general flags and five-element flags were pulled out of the county town with soldiers and horses, and went straight to Xishui Town.

At the end of October, the temperature in Chuzhou is still unabated, the autumn tiger continues to exert its residual power, but the rice fields on both sides are resting, revealing a rice stalk, after all, in the era of cold weapons without the existence of chemical fertilizers, the land must maintain fertility if it wants to maintain high yields.

The autumn water is rustling, blowing the pomelo trees on both sides of the official road, the wicker is like the waist of a young girl, swinging from side to side, Ting is graceful, Leng Zhuo leans under a willow tree, and Li Yuanba and several other guards are also standing in the shade.

Suddenly, a gust of wind pierced through the overhead, raising a cloud of dust, but it was Leng Zhuo's mount, the Blue Falcon, and the spiritual power exchanged for a moment, the Blue Falcon flapped its wings again and flew into the sky, and Leng Zhuo also stretched his waist, stood up, and said, "They are here!"

It didn't take long for a slight tremor to be heard on the ground of the official road, and an earth dragon was raised from the official road in the distance, obviously this Holy Sect army still had some cavalry.

Xu Huang raised the giant axe in his hand and slashed at a big willow tree beside him, the sharp axe wind directly left a cold glow at the root of the tree, and on the side, Dian Wei directly hugged the big willow tree that was cut off, and with a fierce force, he lifted the huge willow tree and threw it out:

Bang, the huge willow tree smashed directly in the middle of the official road, blocking the way, Leng Zhuo jumped on the trunk of the big willow tree, and on both sides, Li Yuanba, Dian Wei, Pei Yuanqing, Xu Germanium, Li Cunxiao, Wang Yanzhang, Xu Huang, Yan Liang eight generals.

The sound of the horse's hooves became closer and closer, and the first Saint Sect disciple also saw Leng Zhuo Jiu people blocking the road, couldn't help but grab the reins of the horse, stopped, and the first person jumped forward, frowned, looked at Leng Zhuo and the others, and shouted loudly: "Who are you waiting for, why are you blocked in the road!"

When Leng Zhuo heard this, he smiled, and said loudly with full of anger: "I opened this road, I planted this tree, I should fight this, and leave it to buy road money!

"Hmph, I see that you are faint, and you don't look at who we are, a few people want to block the way, I really don't know how to die!"

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead, hehe, then you mean to ask for money and not life, you are sure to go?"

"Crossbowmen, kill them for me!"

"It seems that there is no discussion、, Leng Zhuo said, and saw more than a dozen sharp cold rays shooting out in front of him, but it was an iron-armed crossbow, at close range, even if it was the beginning of the earth spirit, it could not be stopped, but Leng Zhuo was the earth spirit, no, he was a strong man at the top of the heavenly spirit.

More than a dozen arrows suddenly stopped five meters in front of Leng Zhuo, suspended in mid-air. Unable to move forward any further: "I gave you a choice, but you continued to choose not to die, those little ones, kill me!" Leng Zhuo's voice was not loud, but he could hear it within a radius of several miles.

"Bluff, everyone rush with me, and trample him to death with one kick!" The leader of the cultists glanced left and right, and there was anyone else around him besides them.

However, his idea only arose, and among the rice fields on both sides, on the sun-dried fields, there were suddenly bulges one by one, and the tentacles were like the rhizomes of plants poking out of the surface, and the next leftover, one after another stone beasts drilled out of the ground, and the solid carapace like a turtle shell also quickly cracked, turning into chain hammers one by one, lined up in a line.

In other places, in the field, people also jumped out one after another, and then began to summon mounts, one by one, the four-armed giant ape, the blade beast, the armor gold crystal beast, the flame war horse, the war mastiff, one after another appeared on the stage, although this encirclement seems to be extremely sparse, but who dares to ignore the effect of this encirclement.

"If you surrender on your knees now, it's still too late!" Leng Zhuo chuckled.

"Damn, withdraw!" The Holy Cultist was also a little scared, but surrendered? Forget it, although the other side is strong, there are only a few hundred, they are tens of thousands, they can't fight, can't they still escape. (To be continued.)
