Chapter 99 Jiang Chuci
Early the next morning.
Shen Ning couldn't sleep all night at home, as a cultivator, even if he didn't rest for a month, it wouldn't affect anything, and after breakfast, he went to the camp tent under the leadership of the cavalry commander to discuss military affairs.
By the time he arrived at the camp, the officials in charge of the demon plague in Henan Province had not yet arrived.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the personnel gradually arrived.
The cavalry commander kindly introduced people to Shen Ning by his side, including the sect masters and elders from the hundred sects of the immortal family, as well as the Feng Ling of the imperial court in Henan Province and a group of Tsing Yi officials, so that Shen Ning was most familiar with the arrival of the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird, there was also one person, that is, his senior sister Peony.
As the first batch of disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion to aid Henan Province, she had already come to Henan Province several months in advance, she had long heard that it was Shen Ning who led the army this time, and when she really saw her little junior brother, Peony was obviously very happy, and regardless of the solemn atmosphere in the barracks, she hugged Shen Ning and said with a smile:
"Little junior brother, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
Shen Ning responded with a smile: "Senior sister, is this time okay?" ”
Peony nodded, since the Battle of Zucchini Road some time ago, the demons in Hulu Mountain have been extraordinarily honest, although there have been small clashes recently, but they have not caused large-scale casualties, and the situation is quite passable.
"How's your journey going?" Peony asked.
"The route we took was completely different from what Senior Sister had before." Shen Ning told Peony about the situation on the road: "The situation is not very good, I have encountered too many demons along the way, and many villages and towns have been slaughtered by demons, and it is precisely for this reason that a lot of things have been delayed." ”
"Now that the situation is erosive, after dealing with the demon plague in Henan Province, we need to carefully clean up the demon plague again when we go back along the way." Peony frowned.
The first batch of disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion who came to support Henan Province were not led by Peony, but the senior brother in charge of this matter fell into the siege of the demon clan in the battle some time ago and died in battle, so the specific matter is now handled by Peony.
What she is saying now is exactly what Shen Ning thinks, on the way back, she can indeed deal with the demon trouble again, so that the people on the road from Henan Road to Jingxi Road can at least get a stable life for decades.
The two of them were not able to greet each other for too long, the officials of Henan Province had already arrived, and the person in charge of leading the matter was Bai Hu, one of the guardians of the four directions, although he looked young on the outside, no one in the audience dared to underestimate him because of this, they all held their breath and listened quietly:
"The reinforcements from the imperial court this time have a total of more than 200 people, and the strength is not bad, which greatly makes up for the shortcomings of our lack of combat strength, I think that in these two days, we will launch a general attack on the demons of Hulu Mountain, end the scourge here as soon as possible, and return to tranquility in Henan Province as soon as possible."
The White Tiger's view is almost the opinion of most people, after the first two battles, they have basically figured out the strength of the demons on the gourd mountain, after Shen Ning and their arrival, they are fully sure that they can scatter the demons on the gourd mountain, and then slowly end up, completely eradicating the bane of Henan Province.
In general opinion, the rest is to finalize some details, and many people have put forward opinions.
"When the demon retreated to the gourd mountain, he left a magic circle shield on the road, and within the magic circle, the strength of the monks under the Tianxuan Realm would be greatly suppressed." An elder of the Hundred Sects of the Immortal Family put forward an opinion: "Before launching a general attack, I think it is necessary to break this formation first to ensure casualties. ”
White Tiger nodded: "What Elder Yang said is true, but I don't know who of the people present can take on this burden. ”
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, the formation under the gourd mountain, they were knowledgeable, exquisite, and contain killing opportunities, not like the hands of the demons from the gourd mountain, but more like the handwriting of the people of the mountain, but no matter which party arranged it, its power should not be underestimated, not to say that there is no way to crack it, but if you want to crack this method, someone needs to be able to delay enough time.
The reason why the white tiger asked like this probably meant that he was also asking everyone present who was willing to buy time for everyone to break the formation, there is no doubt that this would be a chore, and the people who entered the formation would not only have to face the group attack of the demons of Hulu Mountain but also face the suppression of the formation, and the casualties must be greater than imagined.
For a while, the camp fell silent, and the white tiger frowned slightly.
An elder of the Hundred Sects of the Immortal Family couldn't help but sigh, got up and said, "White Tiger Venerable, let the old man lead the seventy disciples of the sect to open the way for the army." ”
Bai Hu glanced at the person who got up, shook his head and said: "The foundation of the Fufeng Immortal Sect is in the north, and now the branch sect in Henan Province has contributed a lot in the past few days, and I am afraid that there is nothing to reward for meritorious service in this way, and Elder Xu should leave the opportunity to others." ”
There were words in the white tiger's words, and the faces of several elders and sect masters in the camp changed slightly, knowing that this was because the imperial court was dissatisfied with them, and after weighing the pros and cons, they generously got up and asked the white tiger for his life.
The white tiger's eyes were slightly closed, and after thinking about it carefully, he arranged several sects that were responsible for the aftermath in the previous battle, and this battle was in charge of the forward.
Everyone has no objection to this, as for Suzaku still ignores the business as always, sitting on the main seat and sleepy, but they are all used to it, plus Suzaku is strong, so no one said anything.
In the next period of time, the White Tiger and everyone discussed the matter of Hulu Mountain for a long time, from morning to dusk, determined the general strategy, and launched a general attack tomorrow, when the three major sects were responsible for covering the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion to crack the formation of Hulu Mountain, and the others were surrounded on three sides, encircling and suppressing the demons on Hulu Mountain. The three sides encircled, only leaving a relatively weak force in the southwest, so that the demons could use it for a breakthrough.
After all, the strength of the demons in Henan Province is not weak, if there is no way to live, maybe it will arouse their ferocity, and the casualties will be much more serious than expected, even if it is a victory, it will be a tragic victory.
This can make the demons see hope and rush to escape, as for the future, things will be much simpler, since it has been dispersed, then it is good to do a good job of cleaning up the encirclement and suppression, but it will consume some time.
After finalizing the details, Bai Hu looked at the sky outside and saw that the sun was already setting, so the soldiers in the stove room brought food, and everyone had a simple meal in the Chinese army camp.
After dinner, everyone discussed the details again, and seeing that there were no mistakes, Bai Hu breathed a long sigh of relief: "Since the matter has been decided, you should go back and prepare." ”
Everyone nodded their heads and were about to leave, but suddenly a cavalry scout ran into the camp:
"Tell the guardian that General Jiang led his thirty-two horsemen to leave the camp and enter Hulu Mountain half an hour ago."
At this point, everyone present was shocked, and the white tiger clenched his fist and smashed it on the military exercise plate:
"Why don't you find some!"
The scout was hesitant, not knowing how to answer, and when he saw the spirit yuan on the white tiger's body, he kowtowed in fear, and hurriedly said truthfully: "General Jiang tied up all the brothers who found her, and the younger one was only discovered when he was patrolling the road. ”
"This Jiang Chu resigned, the army was in front, how dare she disobey the military order so much!"
