Han Zi summoned the senior generals above the division level of the first group army to the war room, and after carefully studying the current situation of the enemy, Han Zi decided to send two armies to march from the west of Jiangdu City to carry out a tentative attack on the left flank of the enemy army to find out the enemy's firepower configuration.

Jiaocheng, fifty miles east of the suburbs.

"Hu Yi, do you see anything?"

Under the night sky, a middle-aged man with black hair standing quietly in the air, just looking at his bearing, at least a middle-aged man, but if you look at his face, you can't see how big he is, you can only see a face full of sword marks, each sword mark leaves deep lines on the face, like a cut carved on wood. The eyelids drooped as if they had been severed by a sword, squeezing the eyes into a slit. Suddenly, it looked like a weak and seriously injured person, but the voice was as loud as a bell and a loud one, giving people a kind of pressure on their faces.

"It's strange that there are so many forces, and there are also many small sects involved, it seems that Tianwu Sect has made a big move this time!"

"With so many subordinate forces mobilized, the current situation is definitely more than nine legions. ”

Captain, we should immediately report this matter to the group army headquarters, Hu Yi said with a frown.

Suddenly! Ning Ming's expression suddenly tightened, and he turned to the side to stare at it, and Hu Yi also turned around.

Suddenly, a hundred meters away from the side. A sword light cut through the darkness, like a bolt of lightning, and slashed straight towards Ning Ming and Hu Yi.

"Get out of the way!"

Ning Ming let out a loud shout and quickly pushed Hu Yi aside, but he himself was hit by the sword light that came from him.

"Poof..."

Ning Ming spat out a mouthful of blood, forming a line of blood in the air, and fell to the ground with serious injuries.

"Captain!"

Hu Yi shouted, and was about to help Ning Ming, when a large number of spiritual power fluctuations came from afar.

"Leave me alone. ”

Ning Ming shouted at Hu Yi with difficulty.

"No, Captain, I can't abandon you, I can't go against the purpose of our Purple Guard. ”

"This is an order! Hurry up! If you don't leave, you won't be in a hurry!"

"Don't let them escape!"

At this moment, a noisy sound was heard from the front, and it was the enemy patrol that had arrived.

"Hurry up, why are you so procrastinating, don't let me look down on you, let's go!"

"This matter is very important, and it is related to the safety of the first group army, you must inform the commander-in-chief of this matter, and go quickly!

"Take care, Captain!"

After Hu Yi finished chokingly, he gave a military salute to Ning Ming, took out a talisman, and immediately disappeared in place.

Ning Ming saw that Hu Yi was gone, a painful smile crossed his face, he looked at the enemy who had come to him, the smile on his face smiled even brighter, only to see that Ning Ming's momentum began to riot, and all his spiritual power gathered in the dantian.

"It's not good, he's going to blow himself up, get out quickly!"

Seeing that Ning Ming's momentum was not right, the patrol captain immediately knew that Ning Ming was going to blow himself up, and immediately shouted to retreat, but it was too late.

"Boom...!"

The energy generated by the self-explosion of the spiritual power in the early stage of Ning Ming's Yudan destroyed this area within a ten-mile range.

In the headquarters of the First Group Army, Han Zi received the information brought out by Hu Yi risking his death, his eyes were full of fog, and his tone was also a little choked: "Fold the sword and yellow sand! The sky and the earth are so vast that they can't accommodate my General Ning!"

"Immediately send a telegram to the headquarters of the Northern Regions Army, requesting that General Ning Ming's son be appointed as the commander of the Fifth Army, and the heroic Ning Jiangmen must not be left unsucceeded. ”

From the intelligence brought back by Hu Yi, it was learned that the Tianwu Sect dispatched this time was definitely not the 380,000 people of the nine legions on the surface, and from the assessment of all aspects, as well as the subordinate forces that cooperated with the Tianwu Sect this time, there were 900,000 people in the full battle, which was three times the strength of the current group army.

For this reason, Han Zi immediately stopped his previous actions, facing the enemy legions that were several times the number of me, and he must not resist the enemy head-on!

Han Zi ordered to temporarily avoid the enemy's edge and form the first line of defense in Jiangdu City, although the enemy army was large, it was not so easy to break through the defense line.

The next morning, three assembly drums sounded in the Qingjing barracks school yard, and the soldiers in the military tents woke up from the drums.

For a moment, the barracks was filled with the sound of soldiers in armor and guns in their hands, running.

Han Zi and generals at all levels also rushed to the school ground, and after the commander reported to a general that the whole army had been assembled, the generals returned to the team, and the various armies formed hundreds of neat queues like a tide.

Under the banner of the First Group Army fluttering in the wind, a leading general came to the stage and gave a military salute to Han Zi and said, "Commander-in-chief, all officers and soldiers have been assembled, please instruct!"

Han Zi also returned a military salute to the general, and then glanced at the whole army majestically.

"Comrades-in-arms, the current situation has changed abruptly, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, the General Headquarters has decided not to confront the enemy for the time being, this time our goal is to set up the first line of protection on the front line of Jiangdu City, and we must not let the enemy break through this line of defense, do you have confidence!"

"Yes!"

Listening to the thunderous sound, Han Zi nodded with satisfaction, and then Han Zi gave an order, and the formations of all armies marched out of the school field in a neat and orderly manner, and the generals of all armies rushed to the front line of Jiangdu together with the team to form the first line of protection.

All artillery units belonging to the First Group Army, totaling 5,000 heavy guns, were deployed in the first line of protection, and hundreds of fighters of the Air Force also began to keep on guard in the sky to prevent threats from the air.

Soon, an impregnable line of defense was quickly formed.

In a secret room in the secret place where the base camp of the secret guard organization is located, Yan Zhong, the leader of the secret guard organization, is sitting above at the moment, and below him are standing nine masked black-clothed people, nine of whom are the captains of the nine brigades of the secret guard organization.

"Chief, as far as we know, the Northern Regions Army has built a tight defense line near Jiangdu City, although the master has mobilized a million troops to attack this time, it may not be able to break through this defense line!"

The Fierce Eagle, the captain of the Dark Guard, analyzed the current form of the two sides.

"Alas!"

Yan Zhong, who was sitting at the top, shook his head and sighed and said: "The eagle's analysis is right, if the master wants to forcibly attack the defense line of the Northern Regions Army, even if it is broken, it will be greatly damaged, and then it will be reinforced by the Northern Regions Army to make dumplings, those powerful things of the Northern Regions Army are not to scare children." ”

Yan Zhong sighed and continued: "The master is not unclear about the consequences of the attack, but the master's current position as the sect master is unstable, and he will be pulled down by other factions in the sect at any time, and the ancestors in the sect also have opinions on the master, and even the old master can't support the master now, so the master urgently needs a victory to block the mouth of the people in the sect."

"Chief, what do you say we should do, those of us who are subordinates can't share the worries of our master, the root is ashamed of the cultivation of the master!"

"Yes, Chief, what do we do next?"

As soon as Eagle's words fell, the other eight Dark Guard captains replied in unison.

Yan Zhong looked at the reactions of the nine people, and said with great satisfaction: "Everyone, the master is in trouble right now, and I, as a subordinate, should solve the problems for the master, and now it is impossible to kill the high-ranking of the Northern Regions Army, I decide..."

Halfway through Yan Zhong's words, he immediately changed to divine consciousness transmission, and after receiving Yan Zhong's transmission, the captain of the Nine Secret Guards quickly left the secret room.
