Chapter 1578: Catching up with the Qinglian Army
After getting the information from Ye Li and Huo Xing, the White Lotus Holy Venerable finally realized the problem.
It took only a quarter of an hour for the 30,000 White Lotus Army, the strongest force under his command, to assemble them all.
The White Lotus Army's military camp was built in a relatively hidden valley outside White Lotus City, and there were no other military camps around, so when they were fully assembled, no one knew.
The White Lotus Holy Venerable had a gloomy face and arrived at the place where the White Lotus Army was located as quickly as possible.
Looking at the assembled 30,000 troops, the White Lotus Holy Venerable said, "Listen to me, the battle we are going to fight now is likely to attack some of our own people in the past.
But now they have chosen to betray and betray, and we have to be ruthless in their destruction.
No one is allowed to be soft in battle, no matter which team we are fighting against, it doesn't matter if you recognize each other or not, as long as I order you to kill, you can only !! forward with your sword."
Hearing the words of the White Lotus Holy Venerable, he knocked his chest with his right hand and let out a shout.
This army is the direct army of the White Lotus Holy Venerable, and they will only obey his command, and their loyalty is extremely high.
Personally led the army, and more than a dozen Shinto stage masters followed, and a group of about 30,000 people left the valley in a mighty way, and chased in the direction where the Qinglian Army left at the fastest speed.
Although the Blue Lotus Army left earlier, after all, they had relatively many personnel, and their combat ability was not as good as that of the White Lotus Army, so their movement speed was also much slower, and the White Lotus Holy Venerable thought that they should be able to catch up with the other party.
The place where the Tianshui clan is located is not close, and it will take at least nearly four days to arrive.
The White Lotus Holy Venerable led the White Lotus Army to chase forward non-stop, and finally caught up with the Qinglian Army who was about to arrive at the territory of the Tianshui Clan at dusk on the third day.
Seeing the White Lotus Holy Venerable appear in front of his troops with the White Lotus Army, Hua Yan, the leader of the Blue Lotus Army, was a little puzzled.
"Holy Venerable, why are you here!?"
After Hua Yan knelt on the ground and saluted the White Lotus Holy Venerable, he opened his mouth to ask.
The White Lotus Holy Venerable spoke: "This matter is a long story, to put it simply, we have already fallen for the conspiracy of some people.
If you are left alone, you will be ambushed, and more soldiers will attack you than you expected.
Like the 20,000 men before you, you will be severely defeated, and you may well be wiped out. ”
Hearing the words of the White Lotus Holy Venerable, Hua Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "Holy Venerable, this is ...... How is this possible, where are there so many people in the Tianshui clan!?"
The White Lotus Saint Venerable shook his head and said, "These people are not from the Tianshui clan, they ...... It's our people!"
Then the White Lotus Holy Venerable repeated their speculation, and Hua Yan showed a shocked look on his face and said, "This is ...... It's unbelievable......"
The White Lotus Saint Venerable nodded and said, "Don't say it's you, even I can't believe it."
But that's basically the case, the enemy must have set up an ambush in front, so we're going to ......"
After a discussion between the White Lotus Venerable and Hua Yan, Zhonghe decided on the battle plan for the future.
Immediately, the Qinglian Army took the lead and continued to drive towards the territory of the Tianshui clan.
Hua Yan's expression was a little serious at this time, the enemy they originally thought could be easily eliminated had now reached the point where they could threaten them.
Even if the White Lotus Holy Venerable hadn't come, he would probably have become a corpse after this battle.
The feeling of being calculated by others is not very good, and the feeling of being calculated by one's own people can only be worse.
Hua Yan and the Qinglian Army quickly entered the territory of the Tianzhi clan, and rushed towards the other party's tribal residence.
Soon, a force of 30,000 men appeared not far from them.
This force of 30,000 people is naturally the enemy army that killed 20,000 of them before.
The enemy army was located, at the bottom of a valley-shaped passage, which seemed to be where their camp was.
Hua Yan couldn't help frowning when he saw the valley, when he attacked the army of 30,000 people from the valley, if there was another army behind them, then they would be in a bit of trouble.
However, thinking about the plan between them and the White Lotus Army, Hua Yan finally gritted his teeth and rushed towards where the enemy army was.
The valley in front of them was so wide that even if an army of 50,000 men charged in formation, it didn't seem crowded.
Soon, the 50,000-strong army completely rushed into the valley, collided with the enemy forces in front of them, and began to attack with all their might.
Because the enemy's position happened to be the exit from the wide area of the valley, the opponent's formation was like the bottom of a pocket, blocking the entire valley entrance.
Although the Qinglian Army in the valley was able to keep the phalanx intact, it was also difficult to change the formation, and it was impossible to pull the opponent away.
Relying only on the soldiers at the front of the phalanx to swap with the enemy in rows, not to mention the low efficiency and weak lethality, it does not reflect the numerical advantage at all.
When the battle was very fierce, a shouting suddenly sounded from behind, and a force of about 30,000 people suddenly rushed out from the rear of the Qinglian Army, lined up in a charging formation, and rushed towards the back of the Qinglian Army.
Under the order of Hua Yan, who had been expected for a long time, the Qinglian army was instantly divided into two parts, one part continued to fight with the enemy at Taniguchi, and the other part resisted the enemy troops that suddenly poured out from behind in a defensive formation.
The enemy didn't seem to expect the Qinglian Army's reaction to be so fast, and their surprise attack did not catch the other party by surprise, but instead entangled with the other party.
The 30,000 or so people who suddenly rushed out, and the front part were all soldiers wearing the robes of the White Lotus Country, and they were the soldiers of the guard army of more than a dozen cities who had been dispatched at the same time in the name of suppressing bandits.
When they saw that their opponent was the Qinglian Army, the expressions on their faces were also extremely shocked, because they had never expected that they would fight against the Qinglian Army.
However, the officers in the ranks were all carrying out orders from above, and there were an equal number of Burning Lamp cultists behind them.
These soldiers of the guard army couldn't stop even if they wanted to, so they could only be pushed and rushed in front of the Qinglian army.
The two sides have been handed over together, so it is naturally impossible to stop, and the soldiers of the guard army can't even if they don't want to fight, because if you move slowly, you may be killed by the Qinglian army, and in the end the two sides can only be forced to fight together.
Hua Yan looked at the enemies in front and behind, and shouted to the Qinglian army: "You hold me up, try to defend as much as possible, and reduce casualties!!
The purpose of this Qinglian army is not to kill the enemy, their purpose is to drag the enemy.
