Three days later, in a wasteland northwest of Linquan County. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The flag is unfurled, the red tassels are flying, and the golden drum is shaking the sky. The two armies formed their own formations and faced each other.

- Yes, the army. When the crusading army of Linquan County entered the heart of the Salvation Cult, a basin in the valley. They finally saw the true power of Salvation - they had built a city in the middle of this wasteland. Different from the common wooden cottages of the general Jianghu sect and the lair of the bandits, the city of the Salvation Sect is an out-and-out brick and stone structure, except that the scale is slightly smaller, and the terrain is better against the mountain cliff, it is no different from the common county towns in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

With a city, an army, and the ability to train generals, this messianism is clearly a small regime that has begun to take shape!

Huang Chang finally understood why the Linquan County Guard asked for a regular army to be dispatched - is this fucking going to fight a siege battle to the letter, without the support of the army, relying on those Jianghu characters in the Six Gates alone will definitely not be able to take it down.

Since they had the ability to build cities, it was only natural for the Salvation Church to have an army. And there are obviously some of them who are proficient in the art of war, and they know that defending the city cannot just defend the city wall, so in addition to arranging a lot of people densely on the head of the city, they also set up a military fortress not far from the city, forming a horn with the city, relying on each other.

In addition to building cities and fortifications to cover each other, when the attackers came to the city, the Salvation Church immediately sent an army to take the initiative to invite the battle, and it seemed that they did not bother to defend the city. Moreover, this army is still dominated by cavalry, and a white-robed young general at the head is the "former general Li Xin" who just met with Huang Chang a few days ago. However, this time he was no longer a solo horseman, he was followed by more than a thousand elite horsemen, all of them covered in armor and fully armed, which was obviously the main force that the Salvation Church spent a lot of money to build.

"This kid is handed over to us to clean up!"

Xiong Tianyang, the commander of the Flying Bear Army, saw Li Xin's dragon scale beast mount, and his eyes immediately turned green - the attraction of the dragon scale beast to military generals was the same as the magic weapon to immortal cultivators. As long as you see it, as long as you have the opportunity, you must have to grab it even if you have to fight for it.

Of course, Sima Jie here will not object - for a brave and invincible general like Li Xin on horses, of course, he must also send a general who is good at horse warfare to deal with him. And his subordinates look so neat, it is estimated that they are not temporarily recruited county soldiers and those heroes of the six gates can deal with it. The only thing that can resist the regular army is always the regular army itself.

The first army of the Great Zhou Dynasty was usually about 5,000 people, but the Flying Bear Army only sent out less than 2,000 this time - after all, it was only to suppress bandits, and there was no need for the whole army to be dispatched, and Sima Jie's subordinates were composed of more than 2,000 soldiers from the county and more than 1,000 people from the rivers and lakes, and the total number of crusading troops was about 5,000.

On the Salvation Sect's side, regardless of the personnel in the city, in the opposite military formation, in addition to the more than 1,000 well-armored iron cavalry behind Li Xin, there were more lightly armed civilian cavalry, armed with hunting bows, swords or wooden spears, wearing leather jackets and even cloth clothes - Linquan County was close to the wasteland area on the border of the Great Zhou, and horses were not uncommon here. If you have a bit of wealth among the people, it's easy to get a mount. For the Salvationists, it was a life-and-death battle, and not only the inhabitants of the city would have to be mobilized. The Salvationists, including the neighborhood, were all summoned, and most of those who could hold the sword were drafted into the army, and those who could ride horses must have been stuffed into the cavalry.

There are three or four thousand people in this part alone, and they are far away from the flanks, and they seem to be overwhelming. In addition, there were about the same number of infantry lined up under the city walls. On the whole, the Salvation Church had a large numerical superiority in troops.

This made Huang Chang feel a little uneasy in his heart--suppressing bandits, suppressing bandits, your army is not as much as the other party, who is killing whom? However, neither Sima Jie nor Xiong Tianyang seems to take them seriously, and Huang Chang understood it soon after the war began--even in the history of his previous life, the conquest between ancient armies, no matter how many rabbles gathered, it would not be the opponent of the regular army. Not to mention the Xianxia world where there is a huge difference in the strength of this person.

Between Xiong Tianyang and Li Xin, who is stronger can basically decide the outcome of this cavalry battle, and even their well-equipped subordinates can play a limited role, not to mention a group of civilians who have been put together temporarily. The reason why I don't say that it is the outcome of the whole battle is because there are still these immortal cultivators.

Under Xiong Tianyang's assignment, the cavalry of the Flying Bear Army was concentrated and responsible for dealing with the Salvation Sect cavalry, while Sima Jie led the county soldiers and Jianghu people to stay in the military formation lined up with chariots, responsible for protecting their own rear roads and baggage, and also monitoring the city to prevent the other party from leaving the city to respond.

Huang Chang and Ji Ruo naturally followed him, since that day Huang Chang took action to withstand Li Xin's attack, Sima Jie's attitude towards him was much more polite, and he no longer regarded him as just Ji Ruo's entourage. He also has a tacit attitude towards Huang Chang who has been following Ji Ruo's side and participating in various core affairs of the crusading army. However, Huang Chang still maintained the state he had agreed with Ji Ruo - this time he only acted as an assistant throughout the whole process, letting Ji Ruo decide everything.

It's just that today, the final battle that almost decided the outcome of the battle, Huang Chang felt that there was no need to continue to hide his strength. Of course, he will not take the initiative to jump out and boast to himself, at this time he just stands silently and solemnly, releasing his divine thoughts to sense the surrounding environment.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Huang Chang would have found it hard to believe that there was such a large basin hidden in the dense forests of the lofty mountains - surrounded by high and low mountain ranges, but the surrounding area was flat for dozens of miles. This kind of environment is the most suitable place for human survival, and it stands to reason that villages will definitely be formed, and then cities and counties will be established.

But there is no here, because there is a huge defect in the local area - Huang Chang felt it with a little exploration of the spiritual sense of a monk: the five elements of the aura in this place are extremely chaotic, and among the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, the most common earth-based aura on the earth is slightly more abundant, and the others are not easy to sense.

In this Xianxia world, the Five Elements Aura is actually everywhere, and the so-called "lack of aura in the mortal world" is judged by whether it can meet the needs of immortal cultivators, but it does not mean that there is no aura. If it's a place where there's really no aura at all, it's called a "place of absolute spirits", where you can't even use spells. Ordinary immortal cultivators would not enter that kind of environment, because there they would be no different from ordinary people.
