Fang Heyu returned to Dazhai, and then secretly collected the 1,000 cavalry into the Qi Sea Space, and then slipped out quietly through the side door of the dry village.

Ling Zhi was already at the end of the strong crossbow, even if he relied on the cover of the ballista, he couldn't let the infantry get close to the dry village, Ning Xuzhong's command was too accurate, the ballista cooperated with the archers, plus there were cavalry teams that rushed out from time to time, causing them heavy losses.

The enemy's ballistae were finally almost destroyed, and because of the continuous fighting, the soldiers were tired and let a lot of shells fall on the walled building, and the big village was finally damaged, but it was not serious. As long as it is not hit by siege vehicles, ballistas alone cannot completely destroy the fortified dry village.

The infantry finally came to the vicinity of the moat after a lot of attrition, but at this time without the cover of ballistas, it was difficult for them to cross the river, and the rain of demon-breaking arrows fell from the sky, and they had no spare strength to build a pontoon bridge except for passive defense.

Ling Zhi looked at the rain of arrows in the sky, and finally realized the strength of Yishui Village's heritage, and if it continued in such a stalemate, once the true qi of the infantry was exhausted, it would only be slaughtered by others, and he had no choice but to retreat.

Retreating from the battlefield is a taboo for soldiers, and sure enough, when they retreated, the door of the village was wide open, and thousands of cavalry rushed out from it, and launched a crazy slaughter of the retreating infantry.

Ling Zhi couldn't sit still anymore, and shouted: "Follow me to the ......"

Of course, he couldn't watch his own troops be annihilated like this, so he had no choice but to charge hard, and as a result, Ning Xuzhong's arms were hit, and the ballistas and a large number of archers frantically attacked the cavalry, and the cavalry became a living target because they did not have the cover of heavy armor and heavy shields, and a one-sided slaughter unfolded like this.

When the cavalry of the two sides finally faced each other, Ling Zhi's side had already suffered heavy losses, although the number was still superior, but it had obviously lost its fighting spirit.

It was Chen Song who led the army on the Yishui Zhai side, he led a thousand cavalry to a chisel tactic, and then killed it back, and finally returned to the dry village with a roar, and there was not too much love and fighting.

When they finally withdrew from the range of the ballistas, they were shocked to find that there were less than 2,000 cavalry left, and less than 500 infantry left, and the losses were extremely heavy.

This battle discredited him, the most important thing is that he underestimated the strength of Yishuizhai, and he didn't expect that there was a super talent like Ning Xuzhong, under proper command, so that their army could not move an inch, so the battle formed a one-sided situation.

Leading a group of remnants of the defeated generals, Ling Zhi had no choice but to retreat in despair, but fortunately, Yishuizhai did not send cavalry to pursue, otherwise they didn't know how much they would lose.

The thousand cavalry led by Fang Heyu was ambushed on Ling Zhi's return road, and saw the defeated remnants of the defeated army, Fang Heyu led the cavalry to suddenly rush from one side, where did Ling Zhi expect to encounter the other party's sneak attack, he didn't even know how the enemy laid an ambush here, and at this time, they were killed back and forth, and they were completely defeated.

Fang Heyu saw Ling Zhi with a blue face, and laughed: "Since you're here, don't think about going back......" Fang Heyu flew up from his horse, and his long sword stabbed Ling Zhi directly.

Ling Zhi barely bothered to muster up and raised the long knife in his hand to block. When he spoke, Ling Zhi was physically and mentally exhausted because of the long battle, and was directly chopped off by Fang Heyu from the horse, and then barely blocked Fang Heyu's continued swords, and finally gave up, and was kicked in the chest by Fang Heyu, almost losing his back, and then a large number of Yishui Gang people swarmed up and tied him up.

Fang Heyu stepped forward and patted him on the head, directly controlling the true qi in his body, making him fall into a coma, and then said, "Let's go, it's okay if the remnants of the defeated army don't chase after them." ”

The interception halfway was very successful, capturing Ling Zhi alive, and almost annihilating the 8,000 people who came to attack, and the Yishui Gang could be said to have won a complete victory in this battle.

Returning to Dazhai, northern Jiangsu has also returned, the two sides are deadlocked in the waterway, I heard that this side has been defeated, and the naval army of Jinping Mansion retreated in time, but did not suffer too much loss.

A celebration banquet was held in Dazhai, and Fang Heyu raised his glass and said: "The talent of the military advisor is like the reincarnation of Sun Wu, the resurrection of Wuhou, and this battle won a beautiful ......."

Ning Xuzhong raised his glass in response and said: "This battle is bound to win, because it is inevitable that the other party will underestimate the enemy, and when they make a comeback, it will be difficult to say." ”

"In short, after this time, it will take a lot of time for them to come back, and we can take the opportunity to recruit troops and expand our military strength. ”

Ning Xuzhong said: "I think it's time to deal with the Baili family in Yishui Town, anyway, they have already torn their faces with Jinping Mansion, and there is no point in keeping them." ”

The next day, Subei took more than a dozen warships, with nearly 3,000 troops, to Yishui Town, and completely exterminated the Baili family, but the Baili family had already gotten the news, and the whole family fled in a hurry and ran to Jinping Mansion, which made Subei unhappy, and directly ordered someone to take over all the shops and fields of the Baili family in Yishui Town, and obtained a lot of wealth.

Ning Xuzhong was not surprised when he got the news, and let Subei return to Zongzhai, leaving only a small number of people to supervise the business in Yishui Town.

In the cell, Fang Heyu personally interrogated Ling Zhi, he didn't have any grudge against Ling Zhi, and said with a smile: "Captain Ling, can you tell me why you led the army to attack my Yishui Gang?"

Ling Zhi smiled bitterly: "Becoming a king and defeating a king, there is nothing that cannot be said, I owe the Jin clan a favor, this time they used this favor, I had to lead the troops here, but I didn't expect to be defeated." ”

"I see, then I will have to grieve Captain Ling for a while, and it is inconvenient to let you go back now. ”

"Hey, I didn't expect that I would be hated for eternity if I made a mistake, but this time I paid back the favor of the Jin family. ”

"Captain Ling, in your opinion, is it possible for the Jin Clan to incite other generals to attack us?"

"It is very likely that Jin He, oh, that is, the wife of Bailishu, is the daughter of Jin Fanxin, the current patriarch of the Jin clan, and the descendant of the lord of the mansion, so Jin Fanxin is likely to coerce and lure other generals for the sake of his daughter, and the result is likely to be to send a large army to come. ”

"Thank you Captain Ling for telling me, please stay in the village these days, as long as Captain Ling doesn't try to escape, we won't treat Your Excellency slowly. ”

Ling Zhi was very cooperative, Fang Heyu also got useful news, he didn't expect that Jin He to be the daughter of the patriarch, it seems that things are really a bit troublesome.

After Ning Xuzhong heard the news, he said: "The three cavalry captains, Ling Zhi has been captured by us, the other two, Suo Meng, who has a resolute temperament, should not be bewitched by Jin Fanxin, as for the other Mu Jian, it is likely to lean towards the Jin clan, as for the infantry and naval army, they may also be used by the Jin clan, so we are likely to face an army of about 30,000 people." ”

Su Beidao: "They want to organize a large army to attack, it also takes time, we take advantage of this time, recruit troops and horses, expand the army, anyway, from the hands of the Baili family in Yishui Town, we also plundered a lot of wealth, do not need to be in vain." ”

Ning Xuzhong nodded and said: "It is necessary to expand the army, but the combat strength of the recruits is still poor, and you have not thought about a consequence, if we win again this time, I am afraid that the golden punishment will not be able to sit still, which of us can stop the anger of the earth immortal master?"

Fang Heyu frowned and said, "That's right, the golden punishment is our henchman's big problem. ”

Ning Xuzhong said: "I have seen the masters of the earth immortals shoot, their strength is indeed strong, but it is not enough to reverse a war of 10,000 people, but he can easily kill generals in the army, and our high-end combat power is still far behind him." ”

Su Beidao: "Crane Feather, with your talent, you should be able to break through the bottleneck of that earth immortal, I don't know how much time it will take?"

"It's going to be a few months, and I'm afraid that the golden punishment will appear before I break through, and it will be a big deal. ”

Ning Xuzhong said: "Therefore, we must let the gang leader make a breakthrough in a short period of time, and we are recruiting troops to prepare for the next fierce battle." ”

Su Bei nodded and said: "That's right, the suspended tower of Jinping Mansion should be about to open, as long as the helper enters to comprehend, maybe he can make a breakthrough." ”

Fang Heyu frowned and said, "I've also heard of this suspended tower, can you tell me more about it." ”

"The Hanging Tower is a cultivation place arranged by the Hanging Divine Mountain in all the prefectures and cities of the Imperial Alliance, and inside it is a special space, which is mystical and abnormal. Each suspended tower has ninety-nine eighty-one layers, enter the tower, the higher the number of layers, the stronger the qualification, the legend as long as you can enter the eighty-first layer, you can steadily enter the realm of the earth immortals. Ning Xu said.

Fang Heyu said: "What is the place of the Hanging Divine Mountain?"

Ning Xuzhong was indeed knowledgeable, and replied calmly: "The Hanging Divine Mountain, the Black Water Palace, and the Ice and Snow Land are the three major holy places within the Imperial Alliance, and it is rumored that the leaders of the three holy lands are all cultivators of the strength of the Golden Immortals. ”

Fang Heyu gasped and said, "Golden Immortal?"

"Well, among them, the Hanging Divine Mountain is the most famous, and it is a wide range of disciples, and anyone who is favored by them will try their best to incorporate it into the mountain gate, and the Hanging Tower is erected for this. ”

"And what are the conditions for them to accept apprentices?"

"Being able to break through the seventy floors of the Suspended Tower, this Suspended Tower is extremely mysterious, only cultivators of the Ascension Realm can enter, and when they reach the Earth Immortal Realm, they will be repelled by the special energy in the tower. ”

Qin Biao on the side couldn't help but ask, "Has Master Ning entered the tower?"

"I've entered, I tried it once, there is no quota limit for the Hanging Tower, anyone can enter, of course, on the day the tower opens, with the strength of the seventh order of my Ascension Realm, when I was on the first layer, I couldn't bear it directly, and I was directly sent out by the teleportation array in the tower. ”

Fang Heyu gasped again, the seventh order of the Flying Ascension Realm couldn't even carry the first layer, what was the situation of the eighty-first layer?

Ning Xuzhong continued: "In the Donghua Empire, the last time the Hanging Tower was opened, the highest ranking was Ying Chao, his record was sixty-eight floors, Gu Fei was sixty-one floors, Hua Ruxue was fifty-nine floors, Luo Ri was also fifty-nine floors, and of course there were some other people who were also at the level of fifty or sixty layers, but they were all older, and it was estimated that they would not break through to the Earth Immortal in their lives. ”

"Isn't there more than seventy floors?" Fang Heyu asked.

"After the seventieth floor, you will be selected by the Hanging Divine Mountain, although it is said that the Hanging Divine Mountain is voluntary by virtue of the cultivators, but as long as you don't have a problem with your brain, you will choose to join the Hanging Divine Mountain, after all, the Hanging Divine Mountain has a large number of cultivation resources, and there are even Heavenly Immortal powerhouses and even Golden Immortal powerhouses for cultivation guidance. ”

Fang Heyu exclaimed, "Isn't that Hanging Divine Mountain an infinite number of Earth Immortal powerhouses?"

"Well, there is no doubt about this, even there are many immortals, and that kind of power is not something we can imagine. ”

Fang Heyu tried to turn his thoughts back to his eyes, not thinking about the distant things, and said, "The military advisor means to let me enter the Hanging Tower for realization. ”

"Exactly, it is said that there is part of the cultivation perception of the contemporary mountain master of the Hanging Divine Mountain, which is of great benefit to the helper to break through the bottleneck, but remember not to break through to the seventieth layer, otherwise once you are targeted by the Hanging Divine Mountain, it will be troublesome. ”

"Okay, that's it, I'll leave for Jinping Mansion. ”

After a little preparation, Fang Heyu took Mo Yi and went to Jinping Mansion again, this time they changed their appearance, after all, it was a place of right and wrong, even if Fang Heyu thought that he was strong, he didn't dare to hold it up, so as not to be besieged by the other party again.
