Chapter 05 If you continue to fight like this, your mentality will collapse
General Si Lang, the Universal National Teacher, the Lord of Xiang Jiying Pavilion, and Qingxuan Zhenren, led a team composed of thousands of Tiansheng regular army-Shenwu Army, embroidered guards, and local patrol troops Wu Lingwei to the north. They have only one purpose, to catch up with the Heavenly Dou God General Nangong Li. Three days ago, on the embroidered guard hall, the embroidered guard envoy who had been in charge of monitoring Nangong Li reported that Nangong Li really had something to do with the demons, secretly practiced the dark forbidden art, and had already practiced Qi into the devil to fall into the devil's way. Who would have thought that when Nangong Li and the demon clan came to meet outside the imperial city, he found the embroidered guard who was following him, and demonized and killed the embroidered guard and the nearby Shenwu Jun who came to round up on the spot, and then fled north with the demon clan.
The Terran gods will turn into demons and defect, this is not a trivial matter. On the one hand, Si Lang instructed Xiao Ying, the secretary of the military department, to assist in deploying the army to pursue and intercept, and asked him to report the situation to Emperor Tiansheng. While chasing after Shenwu Jun, Xiuyiwei, and Wulingwei along the traces, they chased hundreds of miles at once, and they were about to enter the territory of Youzhou in the north.
At this time, the scout in front came with the latest battle report: Report~, the military report in front! Commander Xiao Chenyi's left commander has already led people to set up an ambush in Mumaling, twenty miles ahead, and will soon meet the demons! When Si Lang heard this, he waved his hand to signal the team to stop advancing, only to see that his expression was grim, and he took the map from one of the captains of his personal soldiers and asked for it according to the map. The commanders of the other armies also hurried around and waited behind them for orders.
After a while, Si Lang pointed to the road in the map and issued a military order: Shenwu Jun will take you with 500 people, outflank the past, be sure to block the escape of the demons, and at the same time cooperate with Xiao Chenyi to encircle and suppress the demons! The right commander of the embroidered guard will lead the main force to speed up! The commander of Wu Lingwei will take my token to the Shenwu army garrison forty miles away and order it to send reinforcements! Be sure to take down the traitors and demons in Mumaling! Those who delay the military plane, those who are afraid of war, and those who do not obey orders, be killed!
Then he turned behind him and said: Universal National Teacher, Xiang Pavilion Master, Qingxuan Zhenren, please follow me to take the first step and help the front to block the troops and fight the enemy. After that, several bigwigs ran Lingqi and jumped away, and disappeared from everyone's field of vision after a while, and the rest of the people were ordered to attack in an orderly manner under the leadership of the commanding generals.
Twenty miles away from Muma Ridge
Mumaling is the road of Shengjing to the north to Youzhou, according to legend, during the third Middle Earth War, Emperor Gaozu of Tiansheng led troops to meet with such reinforcements. At that time, after several bloody battles, not only were people sleepy and horses were lacking, but also the horses suffered heavy losses. Stationed at this time, he met an old man who was grazing, and the old man brought a thousand war horses to Emperor Gaozu of Tiansheng the next day, so that the Terran army, which was suffering from the shortage of war horses, gained strong combat power. But the old man who sacrificed the horse was gone, and he couldn't find it for several days, after the war, Emperor Gaozu of Tiansheng named this as Mumaling, and ordered people to pass on this story to the world to commemorate.
There were not many people in the team that escaped, and there were less than 100 people, and there were not only demons in it, but also the attendants of the Heavenly Dou God General Nangong Li and his demons. At this time, the demon clan and others had already arrived at the foot of Mumaling Mountain. Mumaling is extremely steep, and there is only one official road through Mumaling, which is still an upward winding mountain road. The demon team, which had been rushing all the way, suddenly slowed down at the mountain pass, and suddenly retreated before marching to Xiao Chenyi's ambush point, intending to take a path around the mountain.
Xiao Chenyi brought only more than 300 people, but most of them were local martial guards. On the way back to Shengjing in Youzhou, he took a team of embroidered guards to return to Shengjing, and after receiving the flying letter, he immediately went to the nearest local government to get Wu Lingwei and the embroidered guards around him, and rushed over, and there was no time to ask for help from the Shenwu Army. Three hundred against one hundred, it is more than enough on weekdays, but this time he has to face the former Heaven Dou God General He is not sure of it, but fortunately, Feixin Intelligence informed him that the Heaven Dou God costume was not taken away by Nangong Li. The combat power of a god general without a god costume will definitely be damaged, although it is difficult to draw with his cultivation, but Xiao Chenyi understands that his task is to intercept and slow down the enemy's progress to the north and return to the demon realm. He was sure that the demons would inevitably pass through this place and return to the north through Youzhou, so he led the army to march all the way to set up an ambush on this road before the demons.
Xiao Chenyi saw that the ambush was exposed, and immediately ordered to fire a letter cannon for help, and ordered the archers to shoot and kill the demons as much as possible. Under the rain of arrows, dozens of demons after the break were naturally shot into hedgehogs, Xiao Chenyi raised his sword and led the soldiers to rush towards the demons to chase and kill. Don't look at Xiao Chenyi's usual cynical appearance, but he is known for being thoughtful and able to kill and fight. In a few years, he was promoted from an ordinary commander to a lieutenant and then to the left commander of the embroidered guard, becoming the pillar of the embroidered guard, and the right-hand man of Si Lang. Relying on this, Si Lang, who has always been serious about governing the army but loves his life, did not kick him out of the embroidered guard.
Xiao Chenyi found Nangong Li in the demon team, and Nangong Li, who had turned into a demon, already had the appearance of a demon. His eyes turned blood-red and his face turned pale. He knew that his ability to transform the law was similar to that of the True Monarch-level Heaven Dou God General Nangong It was a joke, what he needed was to entangle them and wait for Si Lang's army to arrive. Xiao Chenyi didn't care about the other demons, Yun Qi raised his sword, and a move of heavenly thunder stabbing came out of the sword, and more than a dozen thunder swords stabbed at Nangong Li.
I saw that Nangong Li didn't love fighting at all, and he dodged Xiao Chenyi's Heavenly Thunder Thorn with a few steps and continued to flee with the team. Xiao Chenyi hurriedly caught up, and when he was still in a few positions behind Nangong Li, the sword qi came out, and three heavenly thunder slashes with thunder and lightning attributes came out from the blade of the sword and slashed towards Nangong Li. These slashes were sharp and fast, and several demons between him and Nangong Li immediately became burial ghosts. The power and speed of the Heavenly Thunder Slash were not affected by the obstacles encountered in the slightest, and they still slashed towards Nangong Li. Nangong Li had already discovered that Xiao Yichen who was sideways and the incoming Heavenly Thunder Slash, one made an emergency stop to let go of the first Thunder Slash, and then the other leaped forward to perfectly avoid the last two, and then continued to rush forward.
Xiao Chenyi didn't expect this to cause harm to Nangong Li, but being avoided so easily and coolly, he couldn't help but have ten thousand of the most vicious greetings to Nangong Li in his heart. Then Xiao Chenyi rushed towards the front of Nangong Li's run, and quickly hit three Heavenly Thunder Shocks one after another. With a thunderbolt aperture like an air cannon, the Heavenly Thunder Shock instantly caused a fan-shaped continuous explosion point in front of the demon clan's escape, forming a burst barrier. A group of demons running in front were blown up on the spot, and the demons who followed behind were also overturned by the thunder shock. Nangong Li still didn't mean to stop or dodge, I saw him draw his sword out of the sheath and point forward, holding the sword in his wrist and quickly drawing a circle. An umbrella-shaped black spirit qi shot out from the sword, not only blocking the air shock, but also drilling a breach in the burst barrier. Nangong Li immediately passed through the broken mouth and continued to run forward.
Xiao Chenyi was a little upset at the moment, but he still hurriedly chased after Nangong Li's side and made a quick move not far away. He first hit two powerful Heavenly Thunder Slashes, intending to seal Nangong Li's path of advance and retreat. Then a Heavenly Thunder Spike struck, and then he leaped forward and jumped high, striking a move in the air that Heavenly Thunder shook straight away. Nangong Li first stopped and paused to let the attacking Heavenly Thunder Slash pass the attack, then turned the Lingqi into a shield to block the incoming Heavenly Thunder Thorn, and then turned around and swung his sword, and a black Lingqi Cross Slash rushed towards the attacking Heavenly Thunder Shock.
When the two moves met, the smoke and dust scattered out of thin air, and Xiao Chen, who had landed, jumped forward a few steps, staring at Nangong Li's direction, and the sword was ready to attack at any time. After the smoke and dust, I looked at Nangong Li, but at this time he was trapped in a thunder and lightning cage. It turned out that Xiao Chenyi's first few moves were all disguises, and he quickly released another thunderbolt cage in the air under the cover of the heavenly thunder shock. And when Nangong Li found out, he was already in a hurry to dodge, and was directly trapped in it. Seeing this, Xiao Chenyi immediately released a thunder light sword, only to see a golden sword stabbing towards Nangong Li in the cage. Nangong Li's sword was inserted into the ground, and many black Lingqi spiraled up from the ground, forming a rotating air flow that enveloped Nangong Li. The Thunder Light Sword pierced through the lightning cage and stabbed at the black Lingqi airflow, but instead of penetrating through it, it turned into a stream of air that rotated with the Lingqi, and then the airflow turned into multiple black snakes that quickly rushed out in all directions and then exploded. The thunder and lightning cage was broken, and the blasting air flow was fierce and violent, and Xiao Chenyi hurriedly dodged. Although Xiao Chenyi dodged in time, he was still injured by this domineering aura and rolled to the ground, not only with many colors on his body, but also with a mouth full of dirt. And the demons around Nangong Li were blown into pieces of meat and scattered everywhere.
Xiao Chenyi got up quickly, and when he saw Nangong Li continuing to escape, he hurriedly chased after him, thinking about what to do while chasing. At this time, a wolf-headed demon in the oblique stab rushed towards him, and Xiao Chenyi was galloping thousands of divine beasts in his heart: What's the situation, what are you here to make trouble! He quickly made a dodge to avoid the impact of the monster, and then turned around to make a move. A heavenly thunder shook and slashed at the monster with a heavenly thunder, and then continued to chase Nangong Li without heading. Suddenly, Nangong Li's surroundings exploded into multiple powerful air explosions, blocking his way out, and at the same time, destroying the demons around him. Immediately, more than a dozen spirit pillars fell from the sky, landed into a spirit prison and trapped Nangong Li, and then a thunder sword several times larger than Xiao Chenyi fell from the sky rapidly.
