On the third day of the fourth month, the army of Shepan Mountain conquered the Tianquan Sect, captured more than 1,000 monks of the Tianquan Sect, and seized countless materials. In the next three days, Yuwen Qingtian took Xiaoqingshan, Yutan Mountain and Beichen Mountain respectively, and completed the established plan in accordance with Wei Wuxian's requirements within seven days.

Hong Zhan's headquarters stayed behind to set up defenses, and Yuwen Qingtian returned to the Shepanshan base with materials and prisoners.

In this way, most of the Northern Regions were under the control of Wei Wuxian, isolating the Fallen Soul Sect close to Beimang outside.

And when the campaign against the Fallen Soul Sect was also planned, every day there were warships to transport the soldiers to the Hong Zhan Division, and basically went there in five days to a war boat team, and a month later, the Hong Zhan Department had reached three war boat squadrons, two war ships, ten infantry squadrons, and five thousand personnel.

In mid-May, the Yuwen Qingtian Department set off from the base of Shepan Mountain again, and this time they headed directly towards Tianmu Mountain.

Wang Fu found Wei Wuxian that night, he no longer had any thoughts about the Wang family, but his parents and several brothers and sisters who knew each other could not be separated, and asked to take them over.

Wei Wuxian agreed to his request, this time Wang Fu went out with the army for the first time, and he still stayed in Shepan Mountain, with him in the rear, the two main generals in front could attack the Fallen Soul Sect with all their strength without worries.

The Falling Soul Sect is the largest sect in the Northern Regions, with a deep foundation, which is not comparable to the Tianquan Sect. Although he has suffered two big defeats in a row, he still can't be taken lightly.

This time, the main battle is the Yuwen Qingtian Division, and the Hong Zhan Division's Department is responsible for assisting from the side.

While Wei Wuxian was sorting out the large number of exercise books captured from the Tianquan Sect, he was thinking about what kind of way the two would take to attack the Fallen Soul Sect, although he did not personally recruit, he simulated countless attacks in his mind based on the information he obtained.

After a busy day, he put down the last jade slip, I have to say that the foundation of Tianquan Sect is actually very good, several of the Great Dao methods are not worse than Tianshui Sect, and several secret techniques also have their own subtleties, especially one of the methods called 'Crystal Condensation', which can condense the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth into Yuan Jing, and can also condense the lower grade Yuan Jing into the middle grade, or even the upper grade Yuan Jing.

This intrigued him a lot, because many powerful heavy weapons needed high-quality Yuan Crystals to activate, especially large magic circles such as the Teleportation Array, which required at least medium-grade Yuan Crystals to activate.

And warships.

The speed of the current warship is not fast enough, but to reach the wind speed of level 5, it also requires at least a medium-grade or higher Yuanjing.

In addition, if an attack weapon like the Yuanli Bow is replaced with a mid-grade Yuanjing, its use rate, time, and attack power will also be upgraded to a higher level.

In general, high-quality Yuanjing plays a pivotal role in the development of the base in the future.

Wei Wuxian now has a Yin and Yang Cylinder to provide a steady source of energy, and he can use it to condense high-quality Yuan Crystal.

The Crystallization Technique is not complicated, but it is very difficult to master, in addition to requiring the cultivation of the Jindan stage or above to be able to perform it, it also requires the control of the Yuan Force to reach a very subtle level.

And the Jindan cultivators didn't have much time to cultivate, to condense a low-grade Yuan Crystal not only needed to be carried out in a place where the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was extremely strong, but also needed a long condensation process to do it, how could they do such a thankless thing.

Therefore, in fact, no one in the Tianquan Sect paid attention to this technique, and it has been on the shelf.

However, these were not a problem for Wei Wuxian, who was proficient in the Yuan Control Technique and possessed the Yin and Yang Two Qi Cylinders, so he began to try to learn this secret technique in addition to cultivation.

On 20 May, the battle began.

According to the news, the other side has deployed equipment similar to the Yuanli Bow and the Crystal Light Cannon, although the number is not large, but it has caused a lot of trouble to Yuwen Qingtian's team.

The first wave of attacks killed and wounded more than 200 soldiers, which was the first time that there were casualties since the formation of the warboat formation, and the number of casualties was close to that of a warboat squadron.

Yuwen Qingtian quickly adjusted his tactics, did not fight hard, temporarily stopped the attack and camped ten miles away, and redeployed his tactics.

Wei Wuxian was not surprised when he saw the military report coming back from the front, the Fallen Soul Sect was also a thousand-year-old sect, how could it be that after suffering two big losses in a row, he would not know how to deal with the attack methods on his side, whether it was Yuwen Qingtian or Hong Zhan, he had fought too much in the Shunfeng War, and he should suffer a hardship to grow.

He didn't think about interfering with the decision-making of the two commanders in front of him, there is a price to pay for growth, and while he can still pay now, he expects them to grow up as soon as possible.

Xie Sanyi came over to report: "Mountain Lord, there is a team of monks with a number of about 3,000 people heading towards our side, according to the people in front, these people have different clothes on their bodies, as if they are from different sects in the Central Plains. ”

Wei Wuxian smiled and said, "This is someone who wants to take advantage of the situation! Go and call Chen Zijun over, isn't this kid sulking all the time!"

Xie Sanyi also smiled, Chen Zijun had just been promoted to the deputy commander of the mixed warship formation, but he was not arranged to defeat the Soul Sect, and he trained those soldiers with a long face all day long, and many soldiers quietly ran to him to complain, saying that Chen Crazy didn't treat them as human beings, and forced them to do all kinds of training every day, and they would be physically punished if they were not satisfied, which had reached the point where people hated ghosts.

After a while, Chen Zijun ran over quickly.

Wei Wuxian looked at the sweaty young man, remembering the scene when he taught them to practice the eighteen-style military physical arts in Daegu County, he felt a little affectionate, and pointed to the stool opposite and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

Chen Zijun was like a good baby in front of him, sitting upright on the stool, waiting for instructions.

Wei Wuxian said, "I heard that you didn't go out with the army this time, and you have a grudge in your heart?"

Chen Zijun was startled, got up from the stool and said, "No, my subordinates only hate not being able to contribute to the mountain master, and they don't dare to have the slightest resentment." ”

Wei Wuxian said: "I don't care if you don't dare, or whatever, as a commander, you should know how to order the military like a mountain, let you go into battle, you must be able to kill the enemy, let you stay, you must be able to sit still, understand!"

"Understood!"

"Have you read a military book lately?"

"Yes, I am reading the Ten Points of Marching compiled by Shen Yuan. ”

"Very good, you have to read it carefully, this is a joint completion of several famous generals in the Northern Regions, the book of war compiled by Shen Yuan, I am reading it carefully, and many of the truths you have to experience with your heart; ”

"Yes. ”

"Now there is a team of 3,000 monks from the Qianxia Mountain Range, most likely coming from our Shepan Mountain base, I will give you a warship, two squadrons of soldiers, and five squadrons of infantry, are you confident that you will take them down?"

Chen Zijun said excitedly: "Yes!"

Wei Wuxian waved his hand and said: "Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get the order to transfer troops, pick your own people, and set off immediately, you will be stationed in the north of Qianxia Mountain, and you will be responsible for the deployment of the area north of Shepan Mountain." ”

"Yes!"

Chen Zijun bowed, then turned around and bowed to Xie Sanyi, who was sitting on the side, and then went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in a hurry.

Xie Sanyi couldn't help but sigh a little as he watched Chen Ziyun leave, this guy was just a refugee who fled the famine, but he didn't expect that now he could lead nearly 3,000 soldiers to defend Wei Wuxian.

"Next month we will be able to come out of warship, and then we will have one every month, and then the maneuverability will be much better than it is now. Wei Wuxian said.

"Mountain Lord, you have added another thousand refiners to Fan Yuantou, if he doesn't get you a warship, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well at night!" Xie Sanyi quipped.

"He's more than calm, and his courage is still a little short, but he is better than doing things, and I'm quite relieved about his side. ”

"Mountain Lord, what are you worried about now?"

"We're developing too fast, I'm afraid these guys will be impetuous!"

At noon the next day, Chen Zi's army and a team of 3,000 monks met each other, and the two sides launched a fierce battle in a narrow area of more than ten miles.

There were twelve Jindan monks in the opposing formation, and these people seemed to have been prepared, and instead of confronting Chen Zijun's warboat team head-on, they detoured back to a place five hundred zhang high in the air to use the height advantage to attack Chen Zijun's army headquarters below, so that they did not dare to release the warboat too far, and the rest of the opponent's people roamed around, making Chen Zijun's crystal light cannon useless.

The battle was fought very hard, and in the end both sides suffered losses, and twelve Jindan monks withdrew with their troops for thirty miles.

Chen Zijun was sobered up by this battle, and finally understood why the mountain master had repeatedly told him about the military book before, which was to warn him not to think that he was self-righteous after reading a few books, the impermanence of soldiers and the impermanence of water, and the other party was also constantly changing, and he could not treat them as those previous opponents.

Wei Wuxian got the battle report from Xie Sanyi's subordinates, smiled, and said: "Chen Zijun was also stunned, he didn't know how to fight when the other party changed his tactics, and he still had too little experience!"

Xie Sanyi said: "Isn't the mountain master worried that if Chen Zijun can't hold it, those people will call him directly?"

"What's there to worry about, there are 5,000 infantry and dozens of crystal cannons in the base, do they really dare to bypass Chen Zijun and not be afraid of being dumped by us! As long as these people are not dizzy, they must first eat Chen Zijun's headquarters. Otherwise, if the front cannot be overcome, the back road will be intercepted by Chen Zijun, and there is no choice but to fight to the death and surrender. ”

Xie Sanyi said, "Is Chen Zijun okay?"

"This kid's brain is still good, he suffered a loss, he must have come to his senses!"

Just when the two battles were raging, a warship flew quickly towards a ravine in a remote area of the Central Plains.

There were ten people on the war boat, and the leader was a tall and handsome man, who was sitting in the middle of the war boat and reading a stack of materials.

There are many names on the information, and after the names are their places of origin and pension standards, all but the last line have been confirmed.

The leader is Nangong Liuyun, he is responsible for the pension of the soldiers, in this month or so, he has almost run the entire Great Xia Kingdom, and the other pension objects are in place, and now only the last person is left.

Zheng Guangwen, a former monk of the Beichenmen Qi Refining Period, died in the first attack of the Fallen Soul Sect, his ancestral home is Julu Village, Langfang Township, Guanping County, Central Plains, and he was born in the Zheng clan Zheng Kai.

Nangong Liuyun put away the information and swept his gaze to the other nine people: "You have worked hard this time, and you have followed me in such a big circle." ”

One of them said: "My lord, what are you talking about, to be honest, this time is really hard, but the subordinates don't feel tired, the mountain lord treats the fallen comrades so kindly, the subordinates empathize, there is such a responsible Shangguan as an adult, if he dies in battle that day, don't worry about no one in the family." ”

The rest of the people agreed one after another, no matter which family or faction would care about the aftermath of the dead disciples, only the mountain master would treat the robes who died in battle so kindly, which gave them a strong sense of belonging for the first time, and they were proud to be a member of the Shepan Mountain base.

"You can remember the good of the mountain master, and after the next family is gone, we should go back. "Nangong Liuyun has never liked to talk much, and his temperament is extremely calm, but this time he also agrees with Wei Wuxian's attitude towards dealing with the fallen soldiers, otherwise how could he be so tirelessly running outside.

The war boat moved forward and soon came to Julu Village.

Julu Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and several people got off the war boat in advance in order to avoid discussions, and walked towards the village with light clothes.

I asked passers-by and learned that the Zheng family was in the southeast corner of the village and was now splitting up.

The separation of the family was a big deal for that family, and they asked for the specific location and went directly to the Zheng family ancestral hall.

——————

At the foot of Tianmu Mountain, in the courtyard of the Wang family, Wang Fu first quietly entered the courtyard of his original house alone.

He hadn't been home for years, and he didn't know what had happened to his parents, his sister, and a few cousins who had a good relationship.

"Who!" said an old voice.

Wang Fu heard that it was his father Wang Chan's voice, and took a few steps forward and knelt at the door and said, "Unfilial son Wang Fu knocked on his father." ”

The people inside were obviously stunned, and then the wooden door opened, and an old man with gray temples walked out of it, looked at Wang Fu kneeling in front of him, and trembled for a long time before giving him a kick.

Wang Fu didn't move, and let his old father's foot kick him.

"You, you still know to come back. After Wang Chan finished speaking, he burst into tears.

At this time, a woman who looked like Wang Fu walked outside, and when she saw him, she covered her mouth in surprise, ran over with tears in her eyes, and punched and kicked him, and said: "Brother, where have you been, they forced your mother to death, you know, you know!"

Wang Fu's face immediately turned pale, he had never seen his mother Yang, who had loved him since childhood, and he had a bad feeling, and now when he heard the news, he was like five thunderbolts.

"Who is it, who is the mother who is dying...", his hands were almost bloody.

Just then there was a commotion outside, and then there was a fire, and many people were coming in this direction.

"You go, they're coming. The woman dragged him out.

Wang Fu didn't move, his eyes revealed a fierce color that he hadn't seen for a long time, took out a bamboo tube, hit a little spark in his right hand and lit the fire rope outside the bamboo tube, bang, a firelight rose into the sky with a whistling sound.

On May 20, the Wang clan, a vassal family of the Fallen Soul Sect of Tianmu Mountain, was destroyed.

On the same day, in the north of the Qianxia Mountains, Chen Zi's army attacked the enemy camp at night, killing 1,003 enemies, taking 800 prisoners, 12 Jindan monks escaped 7 people, killing 5 people on the spot, and seizing a lot of materials.

The next day, Yuwen Qingtian tempted the Fallen Soul Sect to attack, and cooperated with the Hong Zhan Department to cut off more than 3,000 Fallen Soul Sect monks in the valley, including one Jindan mid-stage monk and three Jindan early-stage monks.

Then the Fallen Soul Sect released more than 10,000 corpse puppets that had been refined for many years, and the two sides started a battle that lasted for two days and one night.

In this battle, Yuwen Qingtian and Hong Zhan paid a total of more than 3,000 soldiers' lives.

Yu Wuji, the last giant of the Fallen Soul Sect, fought to the death, and after this battle, there was no Fallen Soul Sect in the world.

One by one, the military reports were transmitted to Wei Wuxian's desk at the Shepanshan base, and the cost was very high, but the harvest was even greater. Since then, the Northern Regions have all been under the control of the Shepanshan base, as long as he is given enough time, then chasing the Central Plains is no longer a dream!

At the beginning of June, the first self-built warship of the Shepanshan base came out, this warship is twice the size of the Luoyang Sect warship, can carry about a thousand soldiers, and the defensive mask on it can cover a distance of 100 zhang, so that the escort warship can hide in the light mask when it encounters danger or tactical needs.

The strength of the mask has been doubled, and even the Yuan Crystal Cannon cannot break the defensive light mask, and the source of its energy is three hundred medium-grade Yuan Crystals located in the core card slot.

This is a universal card slot, which can be upgraded to a high-grade element if necessary.

The energy of 300 medium-grade elemental crystals is equivalent to that of 3,000 lower-grade elemental crystals, but because it is more pure, the utilization rate of energy is fifty percent higher than that of lower-grade elemental crystals.

Powerful power, this is why there is such a powerful defensive light shield. In addition, the ship's wind speed reached level five, which meant that it was as fast as the Jindan monk's escape.

It is equipped with fifty-six crystal cannons, four in the front, four in the back, and twenty-three on each side. In addition, the turret has been improved, and the gun body can be adjusted to a right angle, so that even the upper part of the ship can organize attacks.

The total cost of materials for this warship has reached more than 10 million low-grade Yuanjing, which can be said to be a moving Yuanjing Mountain.
