In the blink of an eye, another two months have passed, and the wheat harvest war is about to break out.

Ten miles west outside Baiyun City, there is a huge valley, the valley is about 100 miles long, the widest part is nearly ten miles wide, the whole valley aura is relatively abundant, the terrain in the valley is uneven, there are ravines and boulders everywhere, and the ground is sparsely distributed with clusters of dry and cold-resistant shrubs, this is the Shenmai Valley.

This valley looks like a barren land, but in fact, it contains a special spiritual power in the soil and rocks beneath it, and every five years at this season, after the first rain in September, a spiritual creature grows in the ground of this valley, which is the so-called 'Shenmai'.

Shenmai is very similar to a fungus, the mature individual is about a foot tall, with a single stem and a single leaf, and seven or nine finger-sized fruits will grow on the stalk under the leaf, and these fruits are Shenmai. It grows from the ground until it matures in no more than three hours, and after three more hours after it matures, it will fall to the ground and spoil, therefore, in order to obtain this divine wheat whose spiritual power is not inferior to that of the high-grade spirit stone, it must be picked within three hours after it is ripe, and it is not possible to do it early or late.

They are found throughout the valley, but they grow individually, neither in patches, nor at the same time when they break the ground and ripen at the same time, and they can grow anytime and anywhere within two or three days of sunny weather after the rain.

It is estimated that about 3 million plants grow in the valley each year, providing more than 20 million grains. For the current Shenmu Continent, this is definitely a shocking wealth, and more importantly, it is related to the survival of hundreds of thousands of people in Baiyun City.

On the night of the ninth day of September, the first autumn rain finally arrived belatedly.

At dawn on the second day, the rain gradually stopped, and the army of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, which had already been prepared, immediately began to act.

As soon as the sky dawned, the north gate of Beigu City, which had been closed for five years, slowly opened, and the defensive arrays outside the city were also temporarily closed, and a large number of troops began to leave the city in an orderly manner, and Haohao Tangtang marched towards the north.

Beigu City is only a hundred miles away from Baiyun City, between the two cities is a flat and vast Gobi Desert, the army of the Ten Thousand Immortals League is divided into two roads, and it is approaching twenty miles outside Baiyun City in less than an hour and a half.

The army on the left was the Gongli Army, numbering about 25,000, most of which were the Gongli Army, and the Rongli Army accounted for only one-tenth.

On the right is the 'Xianqu Army', which is composed of extremely powerful transformation demons, and its number is about three thousand.

The Xianqu army was followed by another army, that is, the spirit beast army led by hundreds of beast taming demons, this spirit beast army was mainly composed of evil beasts such as Kui Hu, Wild Megalodon, Long-haired Calf, Kui Niu and Wild Demon Pig, with a number of about 20,000.

Fu Yu, the three elders of the Ten Thousand Immortal League, commanded the entire army in a unified manner, and this year, whether it was the 'Immortal Qu Army' cultivated by the Ten Thousand Immortals League or the recruited Human Co-Glory Army, their number was fifty percent more than in previous years, and the spirit beast army had doubled.

In Fu Yu's opinion, after years of attrition, the time was ripe to break through Baiyun City, and this time he vowed to take Baiyun City and achieve the final victory against the human resistance.

Twenty miles south of Baiyun City, Fu Yu ordered the whole army to stop advancing, because if you go further north from here, you will begin to enter the defense range of Baiyun City.

After the army stayed for half an hour, Fu Yu once again issued an order, ordering the Gongrong army to turn northwest and march towards the Shenmai Valley, while the Xianqu army camped and stood by in place.

An Fu summoned Qingshi and the five captains and deputy captains of the team to convey the order, and Qingshi couldn't help but ask: "Commander An, shouldn't our Rongli Army prepare to attack the city together with the Xianqu Army?" Why do you want to go to Shenmai Valley? ”

"Fu Shuai has made some temporary changes." An Fu said, "Fu Shuai ordered our Rongli army to also participate in the wheat harvest battle. ”

"Why?" Tai Yang asked.

"Fu Shuai has his own considerations," An Fu said, "Fu Shuai is determined to win Baiyun City this time, so he has to change his strategy compared to previous years."

According to Fu Shuai's speculation, the growth period of Shenmai this time should be three days, so Fu Shuai asked for a war of attrition for the first two days to consume as much of Baiyun City's living force as possible. On the third day, he launched a general attack and took Baiyun City in one fell swoop.

"The attrition war on the siege side is dominated by the Xianqu army and the spirit beast team, and our Rongli army participates in the wheat harvest battle. In addition, this year's task is also different from previous years, and Fu Shuai asked our two armies of Gongli and Rongli to take killing each other's soldiers as their combat goal from the first day. ”

"This ......," said Yuda, the captain of the second team, "the distribution of Shenmai is irregular, and in order to grab more Shenmai, both sides will disperse after entering.

Generally speaking, both sides will be very restrained in the first two days, mainly grabbing the divine wheat, and on the last day, when the divine wheat season is about to end, everyone will mainly kill each other and snatch the other party's divine wheat. The marshal gave such an order, but he was afraid that he would not be able to carry it out. ”

"That's right," Tai Yang said, "The valley is too big, and tens of thousands of people on both sides can be completely dispersed in the valley, so it's impossible for our people to get together, whether it's to grab the gods or kill the enemy, we must be divided into several squads, but once we are separated, we can't supervise the actions of the soldiers, how to ensure that they take killing the opponent's soldiers as their combat goal?" ”

"Don't I know yet?" An Fu frowned and said, "Just pass it on like this." ”

The captains and vice-captains of each team returned to convey the order, and the army soon began to move northwest, heading straight to the Shenmai Valley.

Qingshi knew what Anfu meant, and such an order could not be guaranteed to be executed at all, but since Fu Yu had given such an order, then, he must also convey it, as for whether the soldiers listened to the order? How is it being executed? Anfu can't supervise it, and Fu Yu can't supervise it either. Therefore, the order is only to be conveyed, and how the soldiers carry it out, just turn a blind eye.

However, Qingshi always had some doubts in his heart, Fu Yu was not a stupid person, he should know that such an order had no practical meaning, so Qingshi guessed that he probably had some other arrangements. Anfu should know about this backhand, but he didn't say it, and Qingshi couldn't force him to ask, so far, Qingshi had to take one step at a time.

Soon, the army came to the entrance of the valley, and according to the time when the sun rose, the first batch of Shenmai had already grown out of the ground, but it would take about an hour for its leaves to fully unfold and the fruits to fully ripen, and the army was already ready to move, and some could not hold back.

Nine Elder Ya Shi and Tenth Elder Lu An issued the order to march at the same time, so the originally neat army instantly poured in from the entrance of the valley like a stream of water, and once it poured in, it immediately divided into small groups and scattered in all directions.

The wheat harvest battle is all soldiers fighting separately, without unified command, and participation is limited to humans, because for spirit beasts, the value of Shenmai is very low.

The spiritual power contained in a divine wheat is roughly equivalent to a high-grade spirit stone, which can be completely absorbed and utilized by humans, while for spirit beasts, it can only absorb one percent at most.

More than 20,000 people rushed into the valley and soon disappeared behind shrubs, weeds, boulders, and ravines. From a distance, less than a third of what tens of thousands of people can see at a glance.

Everyone in the army formed their own squad, Qingshi naturally and Chen Tianye Duan Wutian were in a group of three, seeing that most of them had dispersed, Qingduan Chen and the others also began to enter the valley unhurriedly.

After walking out of Baizhang, Qingshi looked back, but saw that only the Nine Elders and the five battalion commanders of the Rongli Army were left at the entrance of the valley, as well as the Ten Elders and the Ten Commanders of the Gongli Army, they were all big demons, and all the people who entered the valley were human beings.

The three of them kept walking to the depths of the valley, and slowly began to see the so-called Shenmai, the distribution of Shenmai is really irregular, some places are more and some places are less, almost every Shenmai has a soldier standing on the side, and some teams simply surround a few people to surround a territory with more Shenmai.

The three of them walked very quickly, and soon they walked for about forty miles, here, there were very few soldiers of the Gongrong Army, and not far ahead, the people of Baiyun City who were dressed in white could be faintly seen.

Qingshi stopped and looked around, but saw Chen Tianye looking at Nunuzui on the right, and Qingshi looked at it, only to see that there were four soldiers of the Rongli Army in a ravine over there, and there were seven or eight Shenmai plants growing around them that were about to mature. And a few dozen steps away from them, next to a few big stones, there were three soldiers from Baiyun City guarding the five divine wheat. Both of them guarded the divine wheat in front of them, tacitly pretending not to see each other, in fact, they were praying that the divine wheat in front of them would ripen first.

Qingduan Chen and the three exchanged glances, and immediately walked towards the four of Ronglijun.

"You four," Chen Tianye asked as he walked over, "which battalion and which team is it?" ”

"Yo!" The four of them looked a little nervous, and one of them seemed to be the leader and said with a smile, "It turned out to be the commander of the forward battalion!" We were in the 1st team of the right guard battalion. "Qingduan Chen and the three of them are wearing the uniforms of the deputy commander of the forward battalion and the chief and deputy captains, and these people naturally recognize them.

"Oh!" Chen Tianye said in a strange manner, "Since we know that we are the chief, let's move our position and go elsewhere!" ”

"Sir!" The other man said angrily, "We came first. There are also a lot of Shenmai in the vicinity, and there are also white clouds......"

"Since there's still nearby!" Duan Wutian let out a loud shout and interrupted the man's words, "Let's go quickly, these plants belong to Lao Tzu!" ”

"You're going too far, aren't you?" The man scolded, "You have the ability to rob Baiyun City, what kind of ability is it to rob your own brother?" ”

"Who's your brother?" Duan Wutian suddenly flew over, punched the man upside down and flew out of the way, and at the same time scolded in his mouth, "You garbage who disobey the orders of the commander, give me death!" ”

The man was knocked away by Duan Wutian's punch and was killed instantly, and the other three were shocked, they really didn't expect these three commanders to kill people and take the wheat.

There will be a few cases of cannibalism in the army to seize the Shenmai during every wheat harvest war, but it is usually when the Shenmai season is about to end, and the first batch of Shenmai like this kills people before they are harvested, and they kill soldiers as commanders, which is really unheard of.

In addition, dozens of steps away, there are people from Baiyun City who are also waiting to receive Shenmai, they don't kill the people of Baiyun City but kill their own people, obviously these three chiefs have a problem, either they are insane or spies of Baiyun City.

The other three were not stupid, so they naturally understood, and the three of them were about to flee immediately, but under the hands of Qingduan Chen and the others, they had no chance at all, Chen Tianye's body moved, and the long sword in his hand immediately pierced the chest of one person, and the other person was bullied by Duan Wutian in front of him, and his heart was broken by a punch in just three moves. The last person jumped up from a dry land, and when he was about to jump into the ravine, he was cut off by a wind blade from the bluestone.

Duan Wutian cleaned up the corpses of these four people, but he didn't find anything valuable, except for the blades, all they had with them were a few pills like the Healing Pill of the Returning Qi Pill.

"Whew!" Duan Wutian took a sip and scolded, "These poor ghosts! ”

"Hehe," Chen Tianye smiled, "You still don't understand?" The richest people on this Shenmu Continent are all poor ghosts in front of you! ”

"I understand that there are no spirit stones," Duan Wutian said, "but there should always be some weapons, magic weapons, and the like!" ”

"Yes!" Qingshi said with a smile, "These guys are not really so poor, it's just that they come to grab the Shenmai, and they won't bring valuables with them, they all have their own reliable people in Beigu City to keep their items." ”

As the three of them spoke, they kicked the four dead men into the depths of the ravine, and then waited for the gods to ripen.

Fu Yu wanted to eliminate as much of the living force in Baiyun City as possible, and the three of Qingduan Chen naturally set a countermeasure, that is, to eliminate the Gongrong Army as much as possible, so that the human resistance army in Baiyun City would suffer as few casualties as possible.
