Chapter 274: Pulling
The northern border garrison army has a chief and deputy commander and a governor of the five armies, and under the governor of the five armies are the battalion commanders of hundreds or thousands of people in each of them.
As for how many battalions there are under the Fifth Army and how many are in charge, no one can say. In short, there are many, many of them, and since there are increases and decreases during this war, it is even more difficult to count. Just look at the previous round of Moon Worship Immortal Kingdom led the crowd to attack, those battalion words have changed a lot, and many battalions have replaced the old ones, which can be seen.
In view of this, if a monk leads a battalion, it is not enough to add all these Four Realms Immortal Sects together, and it is not enough to lead an army. The battalion that arranged the patrol envoys this time was at best only a small part of the northern border garrison.
It's just that this time the recovery of this narrow area between Kuiyunling and Ni Huangzhuang is really only a very small piece for the entire northern land. The real need to mobilize a large number of border guards is actually a larger territory in the border area after Ni Huangzhuang.
Liu Qingyi talked to a few people a little, looked around for a while, and found that the large and small immortal gate stations on Kuiyun Ridge were all surrounded by mortal armies, seeing that the elder He Yuanji and the two immortals of Dragon and Tiger had disappeared, only Zeng Manting, Liu Qingshan, Lei Lei, Wu Yaqi and several other senior brothers and sisters of the Sanyang Realm were meditating in the station, and they couldn't help but ask in surprise, and when Xiao Jingyan explained, they knew that the three of them had followed a large number of high-level monks of the Immortal Kingdom out of Kuiyun Ridge the day before yesterday and marched in the direction of Ni Huangzhuang.
The duel between these high-level cultivators is naturally not something that Liu Qingyi and other low-level cultivators of the Tongyuan Realm can participate in, even those senior brothers and sisters of the Sanyang Realm are only the combat power of the second echelon.
Yan Kuan glanced at Zeng Manting, Lei Lei and the others who were meditating in the distance, and said in a low voice: "I heard that they are going to be sent out tonight, and they are meditating here one by one to recover, I'm afraid they are preparing for this trip!" ”
"Really? I'll just say, it seems that cultivating to a higher level is not necessarily a good thing! Li Deqiang muttered.
Yan Kuan sighed and said: "It's not easy for us, this line of patrol envoys is just to be a thug for them, and it's still a thankless job." ”
Li Deqiang responded: "No, it's still those mortals who are comfortable, just follow behind, don't have to do anything, anyway, there are monks in front of you." ”
Wang Tianshui said sharply: "I heard that the area around Kuiyunling has been basically cleared for nearly 100 miles, and we are just taking these border guards to take over the territory, so there will not be much risk." ”
Bu Gu nodded and said, "As far as I know, it's probably the same. It's just that after this distance, approaching the range of Ni Huangzhuang, it is a little unpredictable. If you look at the teams that are sent out to pull nails day by day, they hardly stop, and they don't seem to be easy, so you can see that the resistance to this matter is not small. ”
"That's right, senior brother can see it very accurately!" Li Deqiang responded.
Bu Gu smiled faintly and continued: "Having said that, the battle between the monks is different from the battle for land by the mortal army, taking a city is a city, and capturing a place is a land, both of which are high and high existences, if it is only expelled rather than killed, then the so-called basic purge, in my opinion, is not very accurate." ”
"That's the same thing." When Yan Kuan, Xiao Jingyan, Li Deqiang, and Wang Tianshui echoed in unison, Liu Qingyi and Li Gongjun, who were standing on the outermost periphery, were silent.
A few people muttered for a while, and then called Pei Yuanyi and others to come over for questioning, and learned that Pei Ziying's route this time was the right rear, and it seemed that there were not many cities and villages that needed to be captured along the way, so they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At night, a few servants had already served a lot of refreshments and fruits, Liu Qingyi took a light of spiritual tea, grabbed a spiritual fruit and nibbled a few bites, then saw a holy rune sect monk followed, took Zeng Manting, Lei Lei and other four people out of the station, all the way to the north and flew away.
In the early morning of the next day, on the Kuiyun Ridge, the mortal battalions of the major immortal gate stations gathered in formation, and under the leadership of several Tongyuan Realm monks, a monk of the Holy Rune Sect with a formation card formed a large array and marched northward.
The entire northern foothills of Kuiyun Ridge, all over the mountains are full of banners, all kinds of beasts and animals are mixed with the foot force, the roar of people and the howl of beasts are sounded together, and the marching force of the brigade spreads forward in a majestic manner, and if it is a few miles away, it will rush to the villages, towns and cities everywhere like a water dragon dividing the Haijiang River.
Those major immortal sect disciples all rose into the air in unison, and for a while, the figures in the sky flew left and right, and as the teams of mortal troops marched together, the speed was not slow.
It's just that although these mortal armies can't fly, they have all kinds of beasts and beasts walking with their feet, and they bring up large pieces of dust when they march, just like a yellow dragon driving a white rainbow.
The Heavenly Beast Gate and the others followed Pei Zi's camp and marched unhurriedly to the right rear, most of the sergeants of this team were mainly wind bone beasts, and the three main and deputy commanders each rode a three-eyed cloud hoof beast, which looked very majestic, and the speed was also extremely fast.
"These people are treated very well, and they don't have to travel by themselves." Li Deqiang was in the air, looking left and right for a while.
"After all, it's a border guard, but it's different from those scattered officials and pawns of the City Lord's Mansion." Bu Gu explained.
Yan Kuan groaned for a while: "I think they are still a little slow, why don't we go to the front first." ”
"It's fine." Bu Gu nodded in response, and after a few words of negotiation with Pei Yuanyi and the others, he led the senior brothers and a few people to fly forward.
Liaoya Village, located more than ten miles northwest of Kuiyunling, is a small village and town.
Liu Qingyi and the others flew all the way to the head of the village, and saw that many villagers in the village had already walked out, looking up at a few people in the sky one by one, and constantly waving and greeting.
The dove leaned over and looked at it for a while and said, "There are no monks and no troops stationed, but they are clean." ”
Yan Kuan saw the villagers who kept waving and shouting, and said with a smile on his face: "...... them Seems to welcome us. ”
"It seems to be true!" Li Deqiang echoed, and he had already escaped and fell to the entrance of the village.
Everyone followed, and they saw a large group of men and women surrounding them, led by a white-bearded old man, kneeling on the ground and shouting loudly.
"Welcome to the Immortals!"
"The immortal law leads to the four seas, and the power runs through the East Mountain."
"Immortal Kingdom Yongqi, Holy Sect Taifu."
"All the people in Liaoya Village worship and pray together, and the immortal monarch blesses you!"
……
Liu Qingyi stood behind the people, and saw the shouting around him, all the kowtowing sounds, and his eyes fell to the ground.
He carefully looked at the villagers around him, all of them were extremely ragged, and even a few half-grown children were even poorly dressed, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The villagers in this corner of the land have suffered from wars repeatedly, and I am afraid that life is not easy. ”
Yan Kuan and Li Deqiang stood in front of the people with smiles on their faces, as if they were very satisfied with the reaction of these villagers.
Bu Jiu and Xiao Jingyan shouted in a row, and finally let those people stand up, and after some inquiry, they learned that the monks and mortal armies on the moon worship side had already retreated.
These villages were originally under the jurisdiction of the Great Sheng Immortal Kingdom, and the inhabitants of the villages suffered from the war, so they naturally looked forward to the arrival of their own troops to regain the lost territory, and they respected the native monks who had expelled the foreign monks for several days.
Bu Gu asked about the situation clearly, and several people in the same door looked at each other, but they didn't delay any longer, and they all took off to search for other places.
According to the arrangement of the Immortal Kingdom, these accompanying Xianmen monks only need to help clear the enemy monks in the route, but they do not have to participate in the battle for each city and place of these mortal armies. In addition, with the current situation where the enemy monk army has withdrawn within a radius of more than 100 miles, these villages and towns only need those mortal armies to come and receive them, and there is nothing for them to do at all.
The group of seven people from the Heavenly Beast Gate jumped into the air, all the way according to the marching route shown in the spirit map, and collected several villages and towns along the way within a hundred miles, and it was still the situation where the monk army had all retreated.
It's just that he hesitated for a while, but he found that in several adjacent cities, those monk teams also acted independently, and they didn't pay attention to those mortal troops at all, and they didn't even follow the route of the march, but only searched and patrolled everywhere on their own.
The two immortal gates closest to the Heavenly Beast Gate, one is the Kuyuan Sect in the north, and the other is the Cover Yue Sect in the west, both of which are connected to the Pei Zi Camp on the marching route of the camp in the town.
I haven't seen each other for a few days, and I bumped into Liu Changhong, Cui Lingxiang and the senior sister surnamed Qiu again, and the two sides were enthusiastic for a while.
Yan Kuan, because he was familiar with two of them, also greeted him in the air. The leader of the Nawei Yuan Sect was a man and a woman and two late-stage monks, the female was a seventh-level cultivator in the Tongyuan Realm, her appearance was extremely ordinary, and her face was cold. The man's eighth-layer cultivation in the Tongyuan Realm was a handsome man wearing a crown on his head, and the expression on his face was also a little not very enthusiastic, and he looked at the three-person team of the Hidden Yue Sect for a moment, and the corners of his mouth were slightly twitched.
Let's say that Liu Changhong, Cui Lingxiang and others, Jian Jiu and Xiao Jingyan said a few words, and their eyes stared at Liu Qingyi in an instant, and they were all a little surprised.
"Brother Yun Zheng, Jin ...... Late stage of promotion? ”
"The eighth layer of the Tongyuan Realm? How can it be?! ”
Cui Lingxiang's wonderful eyes almost stared at Liu Qingyi's body, and blurted out: "Brother Yundao is the strongest, this time he has been promoted to the eighth-layer realm, I am afraid that there are few opponents in the same level." ”
"Hah! Rare opponents? A voice came from the side field, it was the handsome man who was the leader of the Yuanzong, and I saw a strange smile on his face, "I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue!" ”
Yan Kuan, who was talking to the two of them, turned his head to look at him when he heard the sound, and said dissatisfiedly: "What flashed your tongue?" My junior brother is strong, it's not a lie! ”
Li Deqiang also helped: "At least there is no problem in beating you in this eight-layer realm of Tongyuan." ”
"Hahaha, it's funny."
"A person who has just been promoted to the eighth-layer realm, he dares to say that he can beat Senior Brother Mantis, he simply doesn't know how thick the sky is." There was a burst of laughter among the disciples of the Ku Yuan Sect.
"The monk from the outer realm is indeed a frog at the bottom of the well." After the handsome man finished speaking, he didn't argue with Li Deqiang anymore, only glanced at Liu Qingyi lightly, and then fled into the distance with a group of people from Gu Yuanzong.
"I think you're the frogs at the bottom of the well!" Li Deqiang looked at the group of disciples of the Yuan Sect who had already flown away, and added a sentence, looking at Yan Kuan and said, "Senior brother, how do you know those things?" It's so unreasonable. ”
"I ......" Yan Kuan was speechless for a while, glanced at Liu Qingyi, but did not answer again.
Some people died, but not completely......
