Just as Chen Baoyun left these cultivators who loyally guarded her and left this purple bamboo forest alone, the figures of two Northern Wei cultivators in black armor cut through the air and came to Pingbee Valley.

These two Northern Wei cultivators immediately discovered Murong Xing's body.

They squatted down, looked at the wounds on Murong Xing's chest and hands, and were silent.

Just relying on some traces of the battle at the scene, the two Northern Wei cultivators quickly deduced that this was the handiwork of the Southern Dynasty Tie Ce Army.

Standing in an opposing position, the most difficult for these people of the Northern Dynasty to understand is the Tie Ce Army.

According to their understanding, the Tiece Army was not a collection of the most elite sergeants of the Southern Dynasty, but a collection of those who were excluded from the army and ruthlessly abandoned in the army.

It was difficult for the Tiece army to get a sufficient supply of food and grass, and even some of the armaments were not excellent, and many of them were even self-made.

Such an army should not have the slightest morale and will to speak of.

However, the truth is the opposite, and the Tiece army is even more difficult than the well-known elite armies of the Southern Dynasty.

They cultivators didn't know that it was precisely because life was so difficult that the vast majority of the Tiece Army sergeants were only thinking about living as much as possible.

There is no will, more powerful than the mere demand to live.

Just as these Northern Wei cultivators don't understand, why in more remote dynasties such as Dangxiang, many people who are already living in extreme hardship have to fight to eat themselves, and they have to worship some of their so-called gods, so-called gurus.

The truth is that the more difficult and difficult the circumstances, the more you need some kind of strong conviction to support you.

Looking at some traces of the battle around them, the two Northern Wei cultivators were sure that the battle would end quickly.

The sooner the battle ends, the stronger the iron army is.

Therefore, these two Northern Wei cultivators did not choose to pursue on their own, but decided to quickly return to report on this military situation.

......

The march of the Tiece army was cautious.

Most of the time they followed the mountain streams, and walked in the water with their bodies bowed, burrowing their bodies into the shadows of the trees on both sides as much as possible, and even wanting to bury themselves in the bare roots.

Many are lessons learned between life and death.

The sound of water can drown out the sounds of many marches, and the current can wash away the traces left in the stream, and even the smell left behind.

Lin Yi followed closely behind Xue Jiu, although he was already nominally the commander of this Tiece army, but for marching and fighting, he had too many things to learn.

But for Xue Jiu, Lin Yi learned quickly.

Those passwords, codes and sign languages that were often used in the battle formation, Lin Yi had already memorized them after listening to them almost once.

In the following time, Lin Yi even quickly memorized some of the ways and codes in which Tie Cejun and the rest of the different armies identified each other.

And in Xue Jiu's opinion, Lin Yi has heard of it since he was a child, and in terms of command, I am afraid that he is born with an advantage that others cannot compare. At least in terms of temperament, in his opinion, Lin Yi didn't seem to be any different from some young elite generals who had just been sent to the Tiece Army.

"In your opinion, what is the most important thing about fighting a cultivator?"

Lin Yi asked Xue Jiu softly while remembering those code words and sign language.

The more he talked to Xue Jiu, the more he felt that the combat experience of these Tie Ce Army was actually more valuable to him than the records of those classics and notes of Qi Tian Academy and Nantian Academy.

This is because the people who are able to leave notes related to the practice are usually practitioners.

None of these ordinary sergeants could have left any writings in the long scrolls of history.

However, in the classics left by cultivators, what is generally recorded is how to use martial arts and true yuan skills to fight the enemy, even if there are some examples of the weak defeating the strong, but the gap in cultivation is not too big.

For example, there are very few classics that teach cultivators who have just entered the Yellow Bud Realm how to kill a mid-level cultivator in the Destiny Palace Realm.

This gap is too great for a practitioner's world to be considered impossible.

A cultivator who has just condensed the yellow buds, when he encounters a cultivator in the middle level of the Destiny Palace, then he will die happily, and don't struggle too meaninglessly.

But these Tiece Army sergeants are not even cultivators.

Some of their small methods and experience in killing powerful cultivators were very useful in Lin Yi's opinion.

"The most important thing is, of course, to be calm. ”

Xue Jiu said softly: "First of all, we must think clearly about it, cultivators and us are not the same people in the first place, their strength is too strong, seeing them as something like a tiger, seeing that they are not afraid no matter how powerful they are, and being able to stay calm is the first step." Next, in our opinion, how to deceive the practitioner is the crucial second step. ”

Lin Yi was a little curious, "What does it mean to be cheated?"

"Practitioners are always quicker to react than we are. Xue Jiu glanced back at Lin Yi, "Just like you, even if I stand still with you and stab each other, you will know where my knife stabbed you faster than me." Even if you make a move, you'll have enough time to block me and kill me instead. So don't think that practitioners sometimes have flaws, we feel that it is too late, we just feel that we just feel. What we need is for him to have some kind of negligence, to be unaware of one of us. For example, if we pretend to be dead, these cultivators kill people, if they kill cultivators, they will remember very clearly how many people they killed, but when they kill an ordinary soldier like us, in the battle, they may not count how many they have killed, and there will be a few left. Some of us may be seriously injured after being hit by his sword, but simply do not move, let him think that he is dead, and sometimes he may succeed by striking suddenly. ”

The climate in the mountains and forests is changeable, and a sudden rainstorm ended the conversation between Lin Yi and Xue Jiu.

All the Tiece troops went ashore and escaped into the mountains and forests.

Such torrential rains can easily cause short-term flash floods, and sometimes the water flowing down can turn the water level of the shallow stream into a monster that can swallow a sergeant like them in an instant.

Just when this unexpected rainstorm had not stopped, there was a wisp of cyan smoke across a mountain, which rose tenaciously into the sky in the rain.

All the Tiece Army sergeants took a deep breath when they saw the cyan smoke, and then turned their heads to look at Lin Yi.

This is the green wolf smoke, something used by the Southern Korean army to ask for help.

Tie Cejun has the responsibility of rescuing, and at this time, seeing such wolf smoke, it is up to Lin Yi to decide whether to go or not.

The ignition of green wolf smoke shows that the battle there has been extremely unfavorable to the army of the Southern Dynasty.

Especially in Meishan, where cultivators are everywhere, such a battle is even more dangerous.

Is it just possible to escape?

There are many things in life, and there is no reason to run away from them.

Lin Yi looked up at the wolf smoke that was very close to them, clenched his fists, and raised it.

This is preparing for battle.

......

The torrential rain drowned out the terrible sound of arrows.

Hundreds of feathered arrows drew arcs from both sides of the hillside, falling with the rain line towards the Southern Korean army pinned down in a ravine.

The Southern Dynasty troops in the ravine had dispersed as much as possible, curling up under some trees and rocks, but these arrows still made a lot of sounds when they fell into the flesh, splashing a puff of blood.

"Which idiot is this army?"

As soon as he crossed the mountain, he suppressed his violent panting, and as soon as he saw such a picture from the forest, Xue Jiu's face became extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but lower his voice and scolded angrily.

For them, the Iron Army, even if they happened to be marching in a ravine and suddenly encountered an ambush on the slopes of the hills on both sides, this army should have managed to at least try to rush into one side of the hill after so much time until the smoke had been lit.

And in his opinion now, this army does not need to rush towards the slopes on both sides at all, as long as they retreat back at full speed, their rear is a hill that is not high, but it is enough to change the current situation of being shot at will.

"What kind of army is this?"

Lin Yi had already heard Xue Jiu talk about some of the characteristics of each army before, but the current style of clothing on the army that was pressed in the ravine was obviously the style of the Southern Dynasty, but he still couldn't tell what army belonged to.

"It's the government soldiers of this state and county. Xue Jiuhan said: "I can't see if it belongs to the soldiers of the He family's mansion." ”

Lin Yi nodded, and he looked at the opposite hillside.

The feather arrows of the Northern Wei Dynasty were actually very expensive, but he had heard at least four rounds of arrow rain along the way.

The unbearable commander of the Southern Dynasty army below was enough to cause Xue Jiu's anger, but in his opinion, the commander of the Northern Wei army was also very capricious and profligate.
