Chapter 13 Sitting on the Shore and Watching the Fire
At night, late at night, Zhang Xingfeng was on his way to Qingzhou County, and the escorts of thousands of people were rushing to rest because they were about to set off early in the morning.
Zhang Xingfeng closed his eyes slightly and sat quietly on the soft shop. His current realm is in the late stage of the Nascent Soul. Although his body has reached an extremely powerful level because he practiced the "Vajra Art of Subduing Demons" earlier, his most important "Fire Refining Body" in the "Six-Turning Mysterious Body Art" has reached a time when he must practice. If he does not practice the "Six-Turning Mysterious Body Art", it is estimated that the realm will not be improved due to the physical condition in the future.
At this time, Zhang Xingfeng's mind was completely immersed in the "Purple Gold Yuanzun", controlling the chaotic force in his body to rotate in his body in a slight way. He rotated and solidified in the Dantian according to a wonderful trajectory.
A smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Xingfeng's face, because he had now established a five-element base casting array in his body. The so-called "Samāmar True Fire" is gathered to cultivate the body from the inside. If the Samadhi True Fire is controlled by Zhang Xingfeng's mind alone, Zhang Xingfeng would not be able to provide so many Samadhi True Fire. Therefore, only using the Five-element base casting array to collect Samadhi True Fire first, and then temper the body. With the Five-element base casting array, Samadhi True Fire has almost no unnecessary loss. When Zhang Xingfeng tempers his body, he does not have to pay special attention to Samadhi True Fire.
The "fire" of the "fire refining body" is the true fire of Samadhi. Only when the body can produce Samadhi True Fire, the "fire refining body" will be perfected. In other words, Samadhi True Fire and it are merged into one, Samadhi True Fire is him, and it is Samadhi True Fire.
The Samadhi True Fire entered the Five Elements Formation Array. Zhang Xingfeng felt his muscles start to tremble slightly. After careful observation, he could find that the subtle parts of the muscles were constantly shattering and fading away, and the slight Samadhi True Fire immediately merged into it and then grew again. At this time, the newly grown muscles had a faint white color, which was the color of Samadhi True Fire...
There was a ray of light outside the tent, and it was already dawn.
A faint fire light escaped from Zhang Xingfeng's body, but the magical thing was that the fire light did not damage Zhang Xingfeng's clothes at all. Zhang Xingfeng, bathed in the fire light, seemed so sacred. Suddenly, the fire light quickly converged and returned to Zhang Xingfeng's body.
Zhang Xingfeng suddenly opened his eyes, with a smile in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that the Six-Turning Mystery Body Art is so powerful. I have only practiced for a night and my body has made obvious progress. It seems that I have to exercise this body regularly in the future. Only after the 'Fire Body' is complete can the state reach the early stage of leaving the body."
Zhang Xingfeng stood up with a wicked smile on his lips because he had already remembered the 300,000 masters in Taihang Mountain.
"I'm here! The bandits of Taihang Mountain!" Zhang Xingfeng murmured to himself.
"Eat quickly and set off immediately after eating!" A soldier's voice suddenly rang out, and the soldier's voice was really loud. All the soldiers of the guards accelerated their meals immediately. If they eat slowly and cannot eat enough, they must set off immediately, and they will have to go hungry at that time.
———————————————————————————
Zhang Xingfeng is in Tieyang City in Qingzhou County. Tieyang City is the closest pass to the Liao Kingdom. Similarly, if the Liao Kingdom wants to enter the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, it can only break through Tieyang City.
Of course, the journey is not just Tieyang City, but there is another place, which is Taihang Mountain. As long as you cross the Taihang Mountains, the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty will be displayed in front of the Liao chariot without any barriers. However, it is absolutely impossible to cross the Taihang Mountains without the Taihang Mountains.
"What? The troops of Bingzhou County and Yuzhou County have not arrived yet!" Hong Zhu's irritable voice suddenly rang outside the house.
Zhang Xingfeng frowned: "The troops from both counties have not arrived yet? This is a problem. Faced with the Liao army of 1.2 million, the 400,000 troops are not enough at all! Things are difficult to deal with, and it seems that the only way to let the army defend to the death."
"squeak--"
The door was pushed open, and the depressed Hong Zhu walked in. When he saw Zhang Xingfeng, he immediately complained: "Earl Zhang, what do you think you should do now? It's only 400,000 troops. It's too difficult to resist the million-strong army of Liao. The most important thing is that Tieyang City is not as strong as Fengyu City. He can only say that it is a slightly better ordinary strategic city. The defense is very difficult now!"
Zhang Xingfeng suddenly moved his heart when he heard this, and couldn't help but smile and smiled at General Hong Zhu: "General Hong Zhu, don't worry, you said that if you were the commander of the Liao army, would he do this? Will he attack this city?"
Hong Zhu thought for a while and said, "Looking at some of the battles in the past, the Liao Kingdom only captured Tieyang City twice. The first time it was to use sneak attack tactics and human sea tactics. It took him more than 500,000 to break Tieyang City. I guess he wouldn't do this this time. After all, it's not good to die too much.
The second time was to use a trick. At that time, a spy from Liao Kingdom had actually put soft wind sanitary in our army. Moreover, the soft wind sanitary was just an ordinary medicinal material, and there was no harm in it at all. The military doctors at that time did not pay attention to it. But who would have thought that the Liao Kingdom at that time would actually find that the soft wind sanitary mixed with the jasmine fragrance would become a powerful sweat drug. Therefore, the Liao Kingdom successfully captured Tieyang City, but now the military doctors have paid attention to the soft wind sanitary! But in my opinion, it is impossible for the Liao Kingdom to attack really hard. It is almost impossible to attack the city with 400,000 troops without 800,000 or 900,000, so I guess it is only possible to use a trick!"
Zhang Xingfeng's mouth slanted slightly, revealing a hint of praise, and said, "You are right. After all, every country fighting is not willing to die too much in the standing army, and sending out its own reserve army. If it is really time to send out the reserve army, it is estimated that the Liao Kingdom will be in chaos!"
The reserve army is only dispatched when a country faces the most critical battle. The reserve army is mostly retired standing army. The ratio between the reserve army and the reserve army of a country is 1:3. There are more than 10 million reserve troops like the Ming Dynasty, which have a population of billions. However, dispatching the reserve army will have a huge impact on the entire country, and the people's hearts will be extremely shocked.
After hearing Zhang Xingfeng's words, Hong Zhu nodded and agreed in great agreement.
"But, this time, it's a good opportunity to be slow in the two counties!" Zhang Xingfeng suddenly laughed.
Hong Zhu was confused and puzzled: "Count Zhang, what do you mean?"
Zhang Xingfeng said mysteriously: "Look at the map, what would he do if the Liao Kingdom was unwilling to attack?"
Hong Zhu turned around and looked at the map. After a while, Hong Zhu suddenly had a bright smile on his face and turned to look at Zhang Xingfeng. Zhang Xingfeng actually blinked at him, which made Hong Zhu feel stunned. How could he know how happy Zhang Xingfeng was at this time?
—————————————————————————————
In the tent of the Liao army.
Yelu Hongjin looked at the sand table on the table and frowned.
He was worried about how to attack the Ming Dynasty. Yelu Hongjin was also very clear about the interior of Tieyang City. He knew that the army of Bingzhou County in the north was far away from Qingzhou County. The most important thing was that the army of Bingzhou County had just experienced the battle of wind and rain. Now the 300,000 troops were heading towards Tieyang City in Bingzhou County, and it was estimated that it would take three days to arrive.
The other Yuzhou Army's army has a large army and is moving slowly, and it is estimated that it will only take two days to reach it.
In other words, in these two days, all I have to face is the 400,000 army in Tieyang City.
However, the 400,000-strong army guarded by Tieyang City was not so easy to break. At first, I thought that the bravery of the Yuan and Mongolian Army could bring a great blow to the Ming Dynasty and he could take advantage of the situation. But who knew that the Yuan and Mongolian Army had failed inexplicably, and the defeat was very miserable, and even the troops of the three northern counties were not damaged at all, which made Yelu Hongjin extremely angry.
"Brother, are you worried about the 400,000 defenders? I have two strategies! Hehe!" Suddenly, a thin man walked into the tent.
"You, what are you doing?" Yelu Hongjin really has no confidence in his younger brother. This younger brother is always not doing his job properly. This time he is also to make some military achievements and develop better in the future. But Yelu Hongjin really looks forward to his younger brother showing his power.
"Brother, you say that the 400,000 troops are not too much or too little. If you attack forcefully, a 1.2 million army will attack wildly, and it is estimated that 600,000 will be able to attack. Although this move is not good, it is also a strategy. Brother, do you think so?" Yelu Hongye said with a smile.
Yelu Hongjin smiled bitterly and said, "Don't I know? But if there are so many deaths, how can we attack in the future? The 600,000 Ming Dynasty reinforcements that are coming are not vegetarians. And the most important thing is that if the army is not enough, then Zhu Li will get angry and send 400,000 Central Army from the capital. What can we do? Without a million troops, how can we run rampant in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty?"
Yelu Hongye suddenly laughed and said, "Brother, have you forgotten a plan that someone had proposed a long time ago?"
Yelu Hongjin was stunned: "A long time ago..." Suddenly his eyes lit up, he looked at the map again, and said in surprise: "You said yes, yes, why did I forget it? You can fully implement this plan now!"
"Yes, brother, although these 400,000 troops are not too many or too many, they cannot attack us behind the scenes. As long as we send 400,000 troops outside Tieyang City to restrain these 400,000 defenders, another 800,000 troops immediately sweep the Taihang Mountains and seize the Taihang Mountains as our base. At that time, if we cross the Taihang Mountains, the entire Ming Dynasty will be in front of us. Moreover, with Taihang Mountains as a supporter, we can attack anywhere. Even if the Ming army attacks, we can rely on Taihang Mountains to resist. Haha, at that time, we will play whatever we want in the Ming Dynasty! Haha..." Thinking of the proud, Yelu Hongye couldn't help laughing wildly.
Someone proposed this plan back then, but it failed when it was implemented. It was mainly because the Ming Dynasty saw through its plan and actually allowed a million troops to attack the Liao army from the rear. Before the Liao army could attack Taihang Mountain, it was already in chaos and fled from the rear by the Ming army. Now there are only 400,000 defenders, and even if they are stopped, it is not very useful.
Yelu Hongjin also thought that he could attack the Ming Dynasty at any time and rob countless Ming Dynasty property at any time, and couldn't help laughing excitedly.
"Come here, summon all six generals to me. I have something to announce!" Yelu Hongjin's face flushed. He was so excited that the rich Ming Dynasty would be in front of him like a prostitute and let him seize it.
Yelu Hongjin never thought that the bandits of Taihang Mountain could defeat him. In his eyes, 100,000 bandits would be defeated with one blow under the attack of 800,000 regular troops. Victory is what they should do, and there is no doubt at all.
——————————————————————————————————————
"Really?" Zhang Xingfeng asked in surprise.
"Yes, Grand Marshal, now the Liao army is divided into two groups, one of which has headed towards Taihang Mountain, totaling about 800,000, and the other is almost outside our Tieyang City, totaling 400,000." The general said in front of Zhang Xingfeng.
Zhang Xingfeng waved his hand and said, "You go down first!"
"Yes!" The general immediately obeyed the order and left the big tent.
"Count Zhang, haha... hahaha... everything went very smoothly. They really attacked the Taihang Mountain when they saw that we were young." Hong Zhu said with a smile at Zhang Xingfeng. Suddenly, Hong Zhu frowned and said, "But Count Zhang, are you sure that the bandits in Taihang Mountain can cause the 800,000 army to be severely damaged?" Hong Zhu still couldn't imagine that 100,000 bandits could severely damage the Liao Dynasty's standing army.
Zhang Xingfeng had a hint of mystery and smiled and said, "This, you don't have to worry. Moreover, the bandits in Taihang Mountains not only suffered heavy damage, but completely defeated the 800,000 Liao army!" Zhang Xingfeng sighed in his heart: "I guess the 50,000 innate masters alone can completely defeat the 800,000 army!"
Ignoring Hong Zhu's shock, incredible and puzzled look, Zhang Xingfeng turned around and looked at the Taihang Mountains on the map.
He sneered in his heart: "Li Tianxiang, Li Tianxiang, aren't you very powerful? Okay, let's give you eighty-year-old Liao army to play with, but don't be played by these Liao people. Although they are all ordinary people, there are a lot of them after all, aren't they?"
Not only did Zhang Xingfeng laugh out loud, he could already imagine Li Tianxiang's face in Taihang Mountain at this time.
What is Li Tianxiang doing at this time?
He is training the 50,000 innate masters and the most powerful one hundred and three masters who have broken through the first level.
"You have all mastered the cultivation method of the 'Heaven Demon Strategy', and now everything depends on your own." Li Tianxiang looked down on the platform coldly on the high platform and looked down at the 103 masters who reached the realm of heaven.
"Yes!" The young master, the super master, said respectfully, respecting the young master in front of him from the bottom of his heart, and now the young master has passed on to them the extremely powerful "Heaven Demon Strategy", and everyone is even more loyal to Li Tianxiang.
Li Tianxiang was ecstatic at this time: "After these more than a hundred top masters practiced the most ordinary 'Demon Strategy' in the Demon World, they would probably have to reach the next level, and nine of the masters in the Divine Realm may even reach the Nascent Soul Realm. At that time, as long as... haha... hahaha..." Thinking of the pride, Li Tianxiang couldn't help laughing wildly. At that time, in the treasure of Tiemuzhen, it was just an ordinary innate master who turned into a demon puppet, so terrifying. If the master of the Nascent Soul Realm turned into a demon puppet, then...
"Report to the young master, the Liao Kingdom is 800,000 troops advancing to my Taihang Mountain!" Suddenly, a big man knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.
Li Tianxiang was stunned and suddenly said coldly: "What, the Liao army was actually heading towards me on Taihang Mountain. What's going on?" Li Tianxiang was in a very bad mood at this time. How could the Liao army appear? Although the combat effectiveness of the Liao army is generally slightly lower than that of the Taihang Mountain bandits, the number of people is several times. Unless he uses these 50,000 innate army himself, he really has no confidence in winning.
"Report to the young master, there was a Liao Kingdom once back then, but that time it was defeated by the Ming army from the rear. This time I came again. I believe it must be to seize the Taihang Mountains and use the Taihang Mountains as the base to attack the Ming Dynasty!" A man in black next to Li Tianxiang said respectfully.
Li Tianxiang nodded to the man in black. This man in black was brought by Li Tianxiang from his family and was a strategic talent specially cultivated by the aristocratic family.
"The existence of 50,000 innate masters cannot be known to all countries, otherwise they will definitely forcefully join forces to eliminate this terrifying force!" Li Tianxiang frowned and said, "This is certain. If the country knew that there was such a large army that could subvert the court, several countries would probably even join forces to eliminate these 50,000 innate armies."
Li Tianxiang suddenly pondered: "The 100,000 troops on the periphery can resist the 150,000 army, and the strong 150,000 ordinary master army, each of whom can defeat one or five. I believe they are enough to resist the 800,000 army!"
"Okay, I announce that all 250,000 warriors will be prepared and immediately let 5,000 innate masters enter it as a sharp knife. Isn't it just an 800,000 ordinary Liao army?" Li Tianxiang had a trace of disdain on his face.
"Yes!" The leaders around him immediately knelt down. There was also a trace of disdain in their eyes, and they were disdainful of the Liao army. These bandits who had been training all day had never looked down on regular national army.
"Hehe, this time is the good time for me to establish my authority on Taihang Mountain!" All the bandits were full of murderous intentions in their hearts, as if a group of wolves were waiting for the poor lamb.
Unfortunately, the lamb was still thinking about how to eliminate the bandits without damage?
However, Zhang Xingfeng, who is in Tieyang City, is watching the fire. No matter who wins, Zhang Xingfeng will always benefit himself.
