Nanchong Fucheng, suburbs.

"Is this the Southern Zhao Army?"

On a small hillside, dozens of guards around him arched, Lu Yuan stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the continuous military camps on the plain in front of him, and couldn't help but smile: "The number of people doesn't seem to be that much." ”

Everyone's eyes also followed, and they saw that in front, in the north, west, and south directions outside the city of Nanchong Mansion, they each set up a series of camps.

The camp on this side of the southern city covers an area of about three square kilometers, and is divided into thirteen camps of various sizes, of which four are large and nine are small.

Judging by the experience of the people, a maximum of 500 people can be stationed in the small camp, and 2,000 people in the large camp.

In the entire Nancheng area, the number of Nanzhao troops is only about 12,000 at most.

As for the Xicheng side, the camp is nearly twice as large as the southern city, and the number of people should be more, maybe about 25,000 people.

The two camps in the north are blocked by the city, and some of them cannot be fully glimpsed. However, it can be vaguely seen that the area covered is not wide, and the area of the camp in the southern city is about the same, and the number of soldiers and horses stationed in the camp should be about the same, all of them are 12,000 people.

In this way, the Nanzhao army of the three positions adds up to nearly 50,000 people.

This bit of people and horses is not much more than the soldiers and horses brought by Lu Yuan this time, and the level of elite is far inferior, which naturally makes him a little despised.

"Since early summer and April, Zhao Changqing, the prince of Nanzhao, has led 60,000 soldiers and horses to continuously attack Nanchong Fucheng.

According to the report of Senior Brother Ning, who led the army to assist in the defense of Nanchong Fucheng, in the past two months, the Nanzhao army has attacked the city more than 20 times, and Zhao Changqing has landed in the city several times.

The battle here is extremely fierce, and the forbidden army led by Senior Brother Ning has suffered more than 10,000 casualties.

Our army defended with such heavy casualties.

Among them, even if Zhao Changqing killed and injured a lot of people with his congenital body, but the Nanzhao army fought hard to attack the city, and the casualties would never be small.

When I heard that they were coming, there were nearly 70,000 troops.

Now that the Mengfeng attack has been going on for two months, there are still more than 40,000 people left, and the casualties are already small compared to the siege war. ”

Next to him, Lu Yuan's personal disciple, General Yokono Mo Nianfeng, heard the words of his master, explained on the side, and then said with a smile: "But now that the king is coming, with the sharpness of my Chu army, the divine martial arts of the king, and the mere Zhao Changqing and the Nanzhao army, it is naturally not worth mentioning, and it can be broken with a wave of his hand." ”

As for Senior Brother Ning in his mouth, it was just Ning Jizhong, the general of Ning Wu, who had been arranged by Lu Yuan to lead a forbidden army to assist in the defense of Nanchong Mansion City.

These two people are new disciples who have grown up from a group of registered disciples after Changsha changed the name of the country to Chu in recent years, and they have all fought the world with Lu Yuan for more than ten years, and their strength has also reached the first-class, and they can be called the fierce generals of the Chu State.

And he is used to seeing the elite demeanor of major countries such as Zhou and Qianyue, and he really doesn't pay attention to the southwestern barbarians like the Nanzhao Army.

These Yi people, who nest in small places and have not seen war all year round, are honestly far inferior in combat power compared to the elite of the great powers of Kyushu.

The best proof of this is the first battle between the Great Commander and the army at the beginning of the conquest.

At that time, the Great Changhe Army, but after several years of war, it was sharpened by Li Xiong, and it could barely be regarded as a strong army that had experienced blood and fire.

But it is this kind of strong army in the southwest region, in the face of the elite of Great Chu, even if there are nearly two or three times more soldiers and horses, it is still in a head-to-head confrontation, and it is defeated and retreated, and finally flees to the west of Lushui.

The Great Changhe Army that was tempered from the war is like this, and those Nanzhao Army who have not been trained in the war and have worse will and strength are even worse, let alone themselves.

In the case of the defeat of the Great Chang and the army, for the so-called three major Yi countries in the southwest, to be honest, it is difficult to let this group of proud soldiers and fierce generals of the Chu State take it seriously.

The only people who make them feel jealous are those innate grandmasters who are like gods and demons.

In the face of such terrifying force beyond mortals, there is no one under the innate who does not feel awe and fear.

However, it is also congenital, compared with an unknown prince of Nanzhao, there is now a congenital three people who have killed their own king, which obviously makes Mo Nianfeng more confident.

He believes that if his own king makes a move, a mere prince of Nanzhao, even if he is lucky not to be killed on the spot, a serious injury and fleeing will be inevitable.

This comes from Lu Yuan's accumulation of hundreds of battles and victories in the past ten years, and it belongs to the supreme prestige of the invincible military god.

This prestige makes people subconsciously think that as long as they follow the person in front of them, as long as the other party is willing, there is nothing in the world that cannot be done.

If there is a strong enemy ahead, then draw your sword and slash it to achieve victory.

It's so natural that it doesn't make sense at all.

And it just so happened that the entire Chu army thought so.

"Hahaha, Nianfeng, what you said is right, just the Southern Zhao Army, in front of Lonely, the local chicken and the dog."

Listening to the compliments of his own disciples, as well as the admiring eyes from the surrounding guards, Lu Yuan couldn't help laughing, then got up and got on his horse, and said heroically: "All the soldiers listen to the order, follow King Gu, break the Nanzhao army, and win this victory." ”

As soon as the words fell, he waved his horsewhip, and the remaining horses suddenly jumped and headed towards the Nanzhao military camp far away from the mountain.

At this time, at the foot of the mountain, after a long journey, a group of Chu army vanguards also rushed to the field south of Nanchong City one after another, and stopped at a position about three miles away from the Nanzhao army.

Then, in accordance with the military order, the formation of formations began here.

On the opposite side of the Chu army, the Nanzhao army, which had already been prepared, also had a pair of soldiers out of the camp at this time, lined up in line, and confronted the Chu army that rushed in.

This time, Lu Yuan led an army of 40,000 to the north, and the marching team stretched for nearly ten miles.

And Lu Yuan didn't think about hiding it.

He just wants to lead the army, fight against the Nanzhao army in a dignified manner, and then defeat the other party with absolute strength.

As Mo Nianfeng thought, with the elite of the Chu army, it was simply easy to defeat the Nanzhao army.

For this, Lu Yuan is also extremely convinced.

With the strong army he has been farming for more than ten years, fighting for more than ten years, and spending countless painstaking efforts to build, even a poor and remote southwest army cannot be defeated.

Then just roll up and go home, don't play any games to dominate the world, and go directly to the mountains and forests.

The only thing that made him a little worried was Lan Zhaojun on the other side, would he see that his strength was too strong, and then avoid a fight, and directly led the army to flee.

In this case, if you want to lead the army to chase after you, and if you want to completely annihilate the other party, you will have to spend a lot of money, and in the end, you may not be able to overcome all the achievements.

However, for this point, Lu Yuan has also been prepared.

As early as the beginning of April, after launching the battle of crossing the river and defeating the defenders of the Great Cho and Aikawa countries in one fell swoop.

At that time, Lu Yuan, who had no need to cross the river, had already directly ordered Chu Wei to lead the sailors to directly go west along the Yangtze River, blocking the waterway traffic between Xichuan and Nanzhao, and cutting off the connection between the absolute side and the Nanzhao country.

For the Nanzhao army, which did not have a naval army, they had no way to take the strong ships and big ships of the Chu State.

Under the blockade of the naval division, not only the aid from Jiangnan was cut off, but even the news from the Zhuyi region in the southwest of Jiangnan was also blocked, and communication was slow or even cut off.

Therefore, the Nanzhao army in Xichuan now did not know the news that the Great Changhe Kingdom had been destroyed and the Chili Kingdom had been annexed.

I didn't know that the Jianchuan State had been attacked by the Chu State, and at the same time, the Nanzhao Kingdom itself was also facing the news of the invasion of Chili and Kunhai.

I didn't know that Han Shun was leading people to sneak attack their rear, and cooperated with the sailor to completely block their retreat.

The only thing that the prince of Nanzhao knew might be the army of Xichuan County led by Li Liang, and now they are fighting against the Nanzhao army that is monitoring the movements of the Chu army, and the battle situation here is unfavorable to him.

But even if he knew about it, there was nothing he could do.

Because two days after the news from the south came, the Chu army led by Lu Yuan had already arrived.

At this time, he forced his door and issued a provocative invitation to fight.

If he does not deal with the enemy in front of him, even if he wants to do anything, he will be hindered in every way, and it will be difficult to do anything.

……

South of the city, the Southern Zhao army array.

Banner hunting, spears like a forest.

Nanzhao Kingdom believes in the black feather god, according to their inheritance records of the Yi people, this is a winged god with a human body and a bird's head, as well as a bow and arrow artifact that opens the sky.

It is precisely because of this that many of these Wuyuyi people from the southern mountains are good at bows and arrows, just like the hunters that Lu Yuan liked to recruit in the early days of his army, they all have good marksmanship.

And because he was born in the mountains and was relatively poor, the army recruited by the Nanzhao State had a brute courage.

Relying on this momentum, even if many of them are recruited militiamen, they also have some good combat power, and they even defeated the Xichuan Kingdom with this.

It also gives them a false impression.

It has been passed down from generation to generation in the clan, and the Dongyang people, who have destroyed countless clans and are extremely terrifying, seem to be nothing more than that.

See.

We are now only using a little effort, and we have almost destroyed a country of Dongyang people.

Now their kings are surrounded in this small city in front of them, as long as it is broken, the Xichuan Kingdom will completely cease to exist.

Since the surprise attack in June last year, until now, the continuous victories of nearly a year have made many officers and soldiers of the Nanzhao Army have risen in their hearts a sense of arrogance that they despise the Dongyang people and consider themselves invincible in the world.

And under the infection of this arrogance, as the commander of the army, Zhao Changqing, who is strong and strong, and is also young and vigorous, naturally inevitably gave birth to the same thoughts.

So when Lu Yuan was wearing a dark black armor, wearing a bright red coat, riding a divine horse and riding a divine horse, he walked back and forth in front of the two armies, and launched an invitation to fight against Zhao Changqing.

This proud son of heaven was immediately aroused to be competitive.

"The Chu thieves are really rampant, and they invite battle in front of the ten thousand armies, do you really think that I have no one in Nanzhao?"

On the command car, Zhao Changqing looked at Lu Yuan, who was constantly showing off his might in front of the two armies, and his eyes erupted with fire.

Young people can't be excited, and they can't see others being more prominent than themselves.

He has always been proud of his peers in Nanzhao, and he has long been accustomed to the attention of everyone converging on him and becoming the focus of attention.

And now that he has obtained the merit of destroying the country, Zhao Changqing is even more proud, and he feels that he has confirmed his identity as the proud son of the sky.

Under this heavy aura and achievements, even if the opposite side is the world-famous Chu King Lu Yuan, he is not much afraid.

just felt that there was no hero at the time, so he made the shaft famous.

I just stayed in the southwest before, so I didn't make a name for myself.

And now as soon as he comes out of the mountain, he has destroyed a country.

This is something that even Lu Yuan has not done.

In comparison, the other party's rumored deeds of even beheading two innate people seem so insignificant.

So without fear, he pressed the sword in his hand, and wanted to step forward as soon as he wanted, kill the other party directly, and add another stroke to his own merits.

"Your Highness, no."

However, the young are impulsive, and the older are much more steady.

Seeing that Zhao Changqing was about to go into battle, Hua Kaiyun, the veteran who was with him, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him: "Lu Yuan, the king of Chu, is famous all over the world, and he is recognized as a strong man in all countries.

Although His Highness broke through the innate nature, it was only two or three years old, and it was too much of a loss to suddenly face such an innate veteran powerhouse.

At present, our army is far superior in numbers to the other side, so why bother with the other side.

His Royal Highness's daughter's body can sit directly in the army and drive the army to kill the enemy.

went down in person, and lost his identity in vain. ”

Although Zhao Changqing personally went into battle several times before, he repeatedly caused heavy damage to the enemy, which can be described as prestigious.

But when he went to the battlefield before, he just took advantage of his innate power and bullied those ordinary soldiers who were under the innate power.

Right now, the opposite side is a recognized powerhouse in the world, Lu Yuan, the king of Chu.

Even if Hua Kaiyun is confident in his own prince, he is not arrogant enough to think that His Royal Highness can beat the other party.

"Let go!"

Then in the face of his persuasion, Zhao Changqing, who was in the top of his blood, ignored it at all, and directly pushed the other party away with a wave of anger, and said: "The enemy has hit the door, if I retreat and don't fight, what do the soldiers think of me?"

At that time, I will definitely think that I am cowardly and afraid of the king of Chu.

If I retreat, all the soldiers will retreat.

If one eliminates the other, the morale of the Chu people will be greatly shaken.

If this is the case, how can this battle continue?

General Hua doesn't need to persuade me anymore, I am determined to fight with the King of Chu.

Don't worry, everyone is congenital, and the King of Chu has only achieved this realm for more than ten years, at most he is in the same realm as me.

With my ability, even if I can't defeat the other party, it's okay to retreat with my whole body.

No matter how bad this battle is, it will only be my defeat.

And compared to defeat, not daring to fight, is obviously worse.

I, Zhao Changqing, was born in heaven and earth, and I have never been afraid to retreat.

I've seen the king of Xichuan before, but occasionally, his men are defeated.

Isn't it Lu Yuan, the king of Chu, now?

Let me meet him and see who is better in the end, this heroic man who is touted by the world, and my Nanzhao hero. ”

Between the words, the high-spirited and vigorous posture is simply difficult to hide.

Seeing this scene, Hua Kaiyun opened his mouth, and felt in his heart that what his prince said was indeed reasonable.

With the ability of the innate grandmaster, fighting with his peers, even if he can't win, it's no problem to escape with his life.

A Grandmaster is not that easy to kill.

In contrast, if you don't even dare to fight, it will undoubtedly hit the morale of the army even more.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he finally sighed: "Since His Highness is insistent, it is not easy for the old minister to stop him." I only hope that His Royal Highness will take care of the overall situation, and you must take care of your daughter and don't get into danger. ”

Zhao Changqing laughed: "The old general is assured, he is alone." ”

With that, he floated down, rode a war horse, and drove straight out of the formation.

Along the way, the soldiers got out of the way, and their princes went into battle.

After a while, they came to the front of the two armies.

And the king of Chu in front of him, when he saw his arrival, also stopped the galloping war horse and looked over.

Looking at the tall body on the opposite side, Zhao Changqing also had a momentum in his heart that looked at the world, reined in the reins of the horse, and shouted loudly while the front hooves of the war horse were in the air: "Nanzhao Zhao Changqing is here, and Lu Yuan, the king of Chu, will die quickly." ”

As soon as the words fell, he slapped his horse and flew up, and a round of blue light erupted from behind him, and dozens of vines danced wildly and flew out, whipping directly towards Lu Yuan.

Although he was confident in his heart, Zhao Changqing also knew that he was probably still a little inferior to the king of Chu opposite.

Therefore, he did not seek to win this battle, but only to overpower the other party in terms of momentum, at least to make a "draw" in front of everyone and stabilize the morale of the army.

In this way, "drawing" the king of Chu can not only make himself famous, but also rub the spirit of the Chu people.

After all, the other side is an old grandmaster, and he is just a newcomer, and he is even younger.

This can "draw" the other party, and it is undoubtedly a victory.

So at this time, come first to raid, take the lead, take advantage, and hit the opponent by surprise.

However, the abacus clanged, and Zhao Changqing released his martial arts body, but the king of Chu on the opposite side saw his surprise attack, but he was not as flustered as he imagined, but showed a trace of contempt.

His heart suddenly burst into uneasiness.

And this uneasiness soon turned into reality.

I saw that the king of Chu on the opposite side was not in a hurry at all in the face of the attacking green vine, but with a wave of his hand, the crimson flames in front of him ignited out of thin air.

A terrifying flame enveloped a radius of more than ten feet, distorting the air in an instant.

Since breaking through the condensation qi, Lu Yuan's soul and physical body have been sublimated.

The breakthrough of immortal path cultivation, even with the martial arts cultivation, also followed.

Up to now, his martial arts cultivation has successfully broken through to the second innate realm, and his true qi is so strong that his martial arts outer body is several times more powerful than before.

At this time, dealing with Zhao Changqing, who had just broken through the condensed martial arts body, was like a junior high school student bullying a primary school student, and he could be suppressed with a wave of his hand.

As soon as the dozens of green vines came into contact with the Chiyang True Fire, they were ignited with a bang, and the tip of the vine near the center of the flame at the front burned into flying smoke during the turn.

"How is that possible?"

Zhao Changqing looked at this scene, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

At the same time, the sense of crisis in my heart was instantly filled, and I immediately realized that I had done a very stupid thing, and I didn't care about my anger, so I subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away.

The strength of the king of Chu is beyond his imagination.

The terrifying outer body of the martial arts is definitely not the first realm of innate nature.

I am not an opponent, and if I continue to fight, I am afraid that I will really worry about my life.

However, the idea of escaping for his life only came to him, and a thunderclap appeared in his mind, and then his eyes were a little dizzy.

At the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a yellow light flying towards him quickly, and a thick pillar gushed out from the ground, followed by a pain in his body, and his consciousness was depressed......
