"call out"

Zhao Chuanzong loosened his bow string and accurately hit the neck of a barbarian commander who was riding a horse in front of him with a sharp arrow.

"Pfft~" The barbarian commander covered his throat, blood spurted out from between his fingers, and fell to the ground from his green-maned horse. "Yu~"

Zhao Chuanzong felt that his body suddenly became hot, his energy and blood surged, and the previous fatigue was swept away.

"It's the late Juyuan period." Zhao Chuanzong was overjoyed.

He glanced around and saw that there was no trace of the enemy anymore, so he blew the eagle-headed whistle around his neck and began to gather his men.

Bright whistles echoed in the sky, and soon more cavalry gathered from all directions.

"Hundred Generals." Adjutant Liu Er appeared next to Zhao Chuanzong. "How is the situation?" Zhao Chuanzong asked.

The scouts who spread out to the north of Xichang City were all killed, and no one escaped. Liu Er smiled and said, "I see, this fourth wave

The eighty people should be the last spies in Xichang City. They won’t send any more spies in the future, they will just huddle up and defend the city.”

"Hmm." Zhao Chuanzong nodded, "Looking at it this way, Xichang City doesn't have many troops, and they probably only have a handful of people. It's the same as the information we found before."

The number of scouts can usually be used to estimate the size of the army. Zhao Chuanzong had previously captured live traps and asked for information, and then led the rangers outside Xichang City to intercept and kill the barbarians leaving the city. Now he could generally confirm the situation in the city.

Inform the mechanical engineer Zhang Wu and send the information back to the army in the rear." "Yes!"

On January 19, the 16th year of Yuanding, Zhao Xing, Xia Jing, Long Xiao, and Chen Shijie issued the "River Crossing Operation Plan" to all armies.

After the Shiyang Army captured Xichang City, they crossed the Tianshui River in three columns and headed southeast, passing through Lanwan, Hudukou, Jiangsheng Line, and then crossed the Canglan River to join Li Hao's Wu Yao Army. .

All heavy equipment, except necessary food supplies and small vehicles, horses, and boats, were discarded. The 30,000 troops surrounding Wind Witch City must set off on the same day.

After receiving the order, the generals of the various armies immediately retreated as a whole on January 19. They evacuated from Fengwu City, Yangbei, and Tujiao, and headed towards Xichang City and Tianshui River.

On January 23, the Qinglong Army took the lead in arriving outside Xichang City.

On January 24, at Mao hour, five cadres of the Qinglong Army led by Long Xiao defeated the resistance of the generals who defended Xichang City and successfully occupied Xichang City.

Seven quarters past noon.

"Ta, da, da~"

Zhao Xing watched the horses and entered the city with Xia Jing. Long Xiao was busy looking at the search supplies. As soon as he entered the city, he saw Long Xiao kicking a sack while cursing.

Zhao Xing and others jumped off their horses and came to Long Xiao: "What did you find? I heard that the battle damage was very low, why are you still angry?"

Damn, I don’t have any useful equipment at all, just food. It really makes me laugh.” Long Xiao pointed at a pile of sacks on the ground, “I finished attacking the city and wanted to replenish some arrows, but I spent a long time looking for them.” I didn’t find they had an armory.”

"In the end, I only found a hundred spare oxbows and scimitars in the barn, and they were all crude goods."

Xia Jing smiled and said: "The general who defends Xichang City is a leader of a small tribe under the command of King Jinyu. He has only 500 soldiers and only 15 practitioners."

"It's such a small town, how much military supplies do you want? It's good if you have food. You still haven't understood Brother Zhao's fighting spirit. Wouldn't it be better if you have food?"

Long Xiao looked at Zhao Xing, who was reading the post-war summary.

"That's right." Zhao Xing put together the list, "Xichang City is originally a grain farm, and strictly speaking it is not a city. Even if it is a

Counting the taxi residents, there are only about 5,000 people here. It would be great if we can get some food."

Long Xiao nodded. Since Zhao Xing said it was good, then it must be good.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, go away!" "I want to see the general!"

Suddenly, there was movement among a group of soldiers on the street.

Zhao Xing looked over and saw a barbarian with skin folds on his face that looked like fish gills being driven away by the Qinglong Army. "What's going on?"

Long Xiao took a look and said: "A scholar said that he wanted to join us, and he would also speak Dazhou dialect. But I didn't agree. Shangniu came to me twice, and he really didn't give up."

"Why don't you agree?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Those who are not of my race must have different minds." Long Xiao said matter-of-factly. "Although we do not kill barbarians, we, the Green Dragon Army, do not want to be barbarians either."

Son, even if he is sincere in his service, it is not easy to use and communicate with him. How can he compare with the soldiers we have trained for many years?

"Your Blue Dragon Army is elite and you don't need it. You can use it if you incorporate it into other armies."

Zhao Xingdao. "You don't have to worry about their ulterior motives. These barbarians hate the people of the main court more than the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty." "What's the truth?" It was Long Xiao Yaoyi's turn.

The natives of Xichang City belong to the Kashi tribe, but the garrison you just defeated is the Niu tribe of the Golden Feather Royal Court." Zhao Xing

Said: "Those who are not of my race must have different minds. It is more appropriate to use it among them. I looked at the records. Five years ago, there were more than three dozen residents in Xichang City. Now there are only more than 5,000 left.

What did you say happened?

Long Xiao was thoughtful, but Zhao Xing waved his hand and asked the soldiers to bring the barbarian over.

"General, general, the younger one is called "Wang Gang, and he is willing to serve the Great Zhou Dynasty." This barbarian spoke the Zhou dialect that was meant to be used. When Zhao Xing heard his name, he chose it right away. He belonged to the bad Zhou Dynasty.

name.

Although this person's skin is wrinkled, he is actually in his prime, just because of his racial appearance. In fact, those are organs similar to fish gills.

"Zhu Gang, why do you want to join us?" Long Xiao asked curiously.

General." Wang Gang bowed his hand, "As long as the general does not kill the unarmored people after entering the city, and does not kill the unarmed people, the general is worth following."

Long Xiao couldn't understand, could the army of the Southern Barbarian Royal Court be more terrifying to his own people? He just didn't kill civilians, but it became the reason for being supported. It was really strange.

The ones you fought before were all regular troops in the main court, and those regular troops still had some military discipline." Zhao Xing said: "This is in the west court.

The local rulers are a miscellaneous barbarian army. They don't have much of a national concept. They only have a tribal concept. They obey the orders of the main court and fight, as long as they complete the task. As for the life and death of the barbarians of other tribes, they don't care."

Yes, that's it." Wang Gang said habitually, "Our Kash tribe was recruited eight times in five years, and when all the brave soldiers were

If we are taken away, we will have no power to protect ourselves. The people from the Niu Department came here last year and did not regard us as their own people at all."

Five years ago, our Kashi tribe had several people, but now we don’t even have 5,000 people. During this period, we only fought two wars and lost more than 3,000 people. The rest of the tribe all died in the so-called own

It’s someone else’s hand.”

They asked us to contribute to Tuting in the name of Wu Yueshen, but what did Wu Yueshen and Tu Ting bring to us?!"

"General, I am willing to join Da Zhou and lead the way for you."

Zhao Xing nodded: "Okay, Wang Gang, since you speak the language of Da Zhou and take Da Zhou's name, then you are from Da Zhou."

However, I will not set up a position for you, but you can apply for food and weapons in this city at any time. If you can find five people, you will be the corps commander. If you can find ten people to listen to you, then you will be a commander. Can you

Find a hundred people to listen to you, and you will be a hundred generals!"

"Thank you, General." Wang Gang said happily: "General, if I can recruit a thousand people, can I be a general?" "You think so well." Zhao Xing said with a smile: "Where did you find so many people?"

General, as the saying goes, it is hard to leave your homeland. After Xichang City was captured, a small number of defenders and barbarians escaped, but most of them

People are still hiding in the underground valley caves, and among them there are eight white people who are young and capable of fighting. Originally, we had the idea of ​​​​waiting for the enemy to leave before coming out." Wang Gang cupped his hands and said, "But the villain saw the general's benevolence and righteousness, so he risked his life.

Come out and contact the general."

"Wang Gang, I just said, if you can find so many people, you will be in an official position. However, if you want to secure a future for your people, it depends on your performance."

"Yes, general, I will bring them here right now." Wang Gang understood what Zhao Xing meant. If he wanted to get the same treatment, it would still depend on meritorious service. However, this is better than continuing to be ruled by other barbarian generals.

It took five years for the Kashi tribe to see clearly the face of the Royal Court, and they have reached the point where they have the mentality that anyone can come as long as they are not ruled by the Royal Court.

Zhao Xing waved his hand and sent a group of people to push the cart of food and follow Wang Gang.

As soon as the king left, Long Xiao scolded the two commanders who were searching the city: "What do you do for food? You don't even know that there are 800 barbarians hiding?"

The commander of the search for the city was also aggrieved. They were not in the city, but were still hiding in caves outside the city, and they could not be found so quickly. "Don't blame them harshly." Zhao Xing said, "If such people are determined to crawl into the cave, they are familiar with it."

The terrain is hard to find."

"Brother Xia, have the spies sent out to explore Tianshui City come back?" Not yet. "Xia Jing shook his head.

"Order the Shenwei Army and the Xuanjia Army to enter the city for repairs, start cooking, and quickly recover their strength." Zhao Xing said, "In two days at most, we will go to Tianshui City.

"yes."

In the early morning of January 25th, the Shenwei Army and Xuanjia Army led by the headquarters received bad news in Xichang City.

Liao Rulong, the Tiger Jiao Army and the Lieyang Army led by Wang Ji encountered a sniper attack from "Zang He", the commander of the Jiuyou Army, in the Huangling and Zhangshan areas.

The Zhenhai chariot led by Chen Shijie, Zhao Zheng, Tu Li, and Han Bing was intercepted by Hou Sen, the commander of the Jiuyou chariot, at Erdaowan. Except for the Zhao Xing and Xia Jing chariots, which went relatively smoothly, the other two chariots were all on the way.

Problems arose from the very beginning of the plan to cross the river.

bother.

It was originally agreed that they would meet up at Xichang City and Dashuihe area in the early morning of the 25th, but the other two groups still did not arrive until the evening of the 25th.

Zang He and Hou Sen are the commanders from the Jiuyou Legion.

Commander Youyun, the commander of the Jiuyou Army who was responsible for encircling and suppressing Xia Jing's troops, discovered on January 20 that the Zhou army in Fengwu City had fled, so he sent Zang He and Hou Sen to lead more than 800 people each.

Troops were sent to intercept the Shiyang Legion crossing the river.

In these two films, Lao Chen and Liao Rulong, both came from the same side.

The eight white people led by Zang He and Hou Sen are all practitioners, but 90% are in the Juyuan realm, and most of them are warriors, with only a few mages.

It is simply unrealistic to rely on 800 men to eat up two people, so the only goal is to slow down the marching speed of Zhou's deserters.

Zanghe and Hou Sen saw Chen Shijie and Liao Rulong marching in orderly formation, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner. They were both elite men and they did not dare to come down to fight.

You can only throw a few firecrackers and spells on the flying boat.

As soon as the firecrackers were thrown and their energy was almost exhausted, they had to return. Because the flying boat needed supplies, and the people also needed supplies.

Zanghe and Housen themselves took a flying boat to quickly reach Fengwu City, so they could not carry many large-scale weapons of destruction. Therefore, the pursuit only slowed down the march of Chen Shijie and Liao Rulong, and did not take advantage. Both sides even

Not even a few people died.

It was not until Xianniu on the 26th that Zhao Xing of Xichang City got the news, and the two troops temporarily repelled the pursuers. Zang He and Hou Sen

Bring the people back to Fengwu City for supplies and repairs, maintain the flying boat, treat the injured, and wait for the subsequent large vehicle.

After getting rid of the pursuers, the two troops reached the designated garrison position in the evening.

On January 27, the Shenwei Army, Xuanjia Army, Lieyang Army, and Tiger Jiao Army, with a total of more than 8,000 people on one side, launched an attack on three sides of Tianshui City, the eighth-level witch city.

The Zhenhai navy led by Chen Shijie, as well as part of the reserve troops, stayed in Shoal and Xichang City to guard against Zang He and Hou Sen's vanguard troops.

The Shenwei Army attacked from the east of Tianshui City, and the first thing dispatched was the chariot troops.

The original chariots were pulled by strange beasts, or were driven by magic circles and core energy crystals. They could fly in the sky or walk on the ground.

But it's different now. The mechanism created by the mechanism master who has regained his strength can only restore part of the power of the magic mechanism, and the chariot can only walk on the ground.

Just like a flying boat, it can't fly in the sky for long, because the world is different.

The style of the chariots in the restricted area is also different from the past, somewhat similar to a combination of an elliptical chariot and a dash chariot.

The siege chariots used by the Shenwei Army were all built by Wang Ji. It was like a carriage carriage, but instead of a horse, there was a spiral ram in front, about three meters long.

The top of the car is a sail.

A total of one hundred and twenty siege tanks crashed into the east wall of Tianshui City.

The external structure of the carriage has three layers of defense: one is the leather layer soaked in animal hides, the other is the metal iron sheet, and the third is a combination of hardwood.

Three layers of protection protect the fragile core of the array.

In the restricted area of ​​Jue Tian Di Tong, the mechanism of the mechanism master is very fragile and can easily malfunction because the available materials are too weak. And once it is too far away from the mechanism master, it will fail.

There is no other way but to protect the magic circle in this way. "Huh~"

A gust of wind appeared on the battlefield. The strong wind blew on the sails of the chariot and began to push the chariot forward. The wheels of the chariot were crawler-type, so it could pass through trenches.

Since there are not many practitioners, all the Shenwei Army needs one person to use the wind method to blow the sails of more than three chariots.

Zhao Xing had the perfect strength of the eighth-level Spiritual Bridge Realm. He also used spells to blow the wind. He controlled thirty chariots and crashed into the local city wall.

The sails were swaying, and the chariot slowly moved towards the city.

"Blow! Blow me back quickly!" "Don't let these ghosts get close!"

On the east wall of Tianshui City, a red-skinned barbarian general brandished his sword and roared crazily. The wizard on the wall also began to blow the wind fiercely, blowing outside the city.

There is no way, if you don't block the boundary-breaking chariot, as long as it is next to the city wall, it can destroy the structure of the magic circle city wall. "Hu Ming Ming~"

Two completely different winds began to blow wildly in front of the east city.

The sails of the chariots sometimes flapped to the east, sometimes to the west, and saw back and forth, and soon reached a deadlock. One hundred and twenty chariots, still more than a hundred meters away from the city wall, basically slowed down, as if

It was like a turtle crawling. But soon, twenty tanks broke the deadlock.

Zhao Xing controlled the strong wind and blew twenty boundary-breaking chariots. The face of the wizard who was competing with him suddenly changed drastically.

"Commander, there are masters on the other side, I can't stand it." Three wizards reported immediately.

"Damn! How tall can they be? Hold on! "Yes, yes..."

However, the facts are not changed by personal will.

Even if Zhao Xing is in the eighth-level Spiritual Bridge realm, the wind he uses is much stronger than that of the same level.

In addition, because of the Moyunteng, Zhao Xing can open the pure elemental soil that can only be opened at the fifth level, and continuously absorb spiritual energy from it.

Therefore, he almost does not need to consider consumption, and is basically always full.

Whether it is other witches or wind warlocks, there is a high-intensity confrontation. After playing for three to five minutes, you have to stop and recover. For low-level practitioners, casting spells with all their strength consumes a lot of money.

But Zhao Xing was able to blow the wind here and reach Di Laoguanhuang. "Kakaka~"

Twenty chariots quickly approached the city wall and then encountered the second problem - the moat. "Wow~

The water in the moat surged out in large quantities, forming waves and blocking the way.

Seeing this, Zhao Xing had no choice but to cheat again. "Xingyun!"

The cloud-swallowing technique was activated, and sun clouds floated above the moat and began to quickly absorb the water in the moat. "What?!"

Seeing the water level of the city guarding the city drop rapidly, the eyes of the barbarian on the east wall almost popped out of his head. Could it be that there is a fifth-grade army commander Si Nong on the opposite side, and why is his cloud so strong?"

"No wonder the commander-in-chief of the Nine Nether Army wants to encircle and suppress this army. Can we, Tianshuihe, really be able to withstand it?" The barbarian generals guarding the city began to panic.

His eyes began to turn towards the twenty airships parked in the inner city.

Due to limitations in materials and various reasons, there are only medium-sized airships at most within the vast area of ​​the earth. There are no warships for barbarians of his level. At most, they only use small airships, which can only carry five to twenty people.

The height of a person is also limited and cannot exceed 1,000 meters.

You also have to take the mechanic who built it with you, otherwise you won't be able to fly far at all.

The enemy is determined to use this city to cross the river and is besieging it on three sides. I don’t know how many people there are. Can we withstand it with only six people in the city?" The barbarian lieutenant began to have other thoughts.

But out of fear and belief in the Nine Nether God, he still suppressed the fear in his heart and gave orders.

"Fire Archer, prepare!" "Let go!"

The barbarian general looked at his own sorcerers and began to cast spells, taking advantage of the wind and flying forward, mainly shooting at the sails of the boundary-breaking chariot.

But this is of no use, because the sail material made by Wang Ji has a very high ignition point and cannot be burned by ordinary fire.

The flame spell is fine, but the problem is that Zhao Xing is also casting the wind spell, so the fire cannot float away at all, it will only turn around and hurt his own people.

Now that Tianshui City is being attacked from three sides, the number of practitioners assigned to each side is simply not enough. Except for those who have obtained [Guardian of Heaven and Earth], the spells of the others can only take effect within the city.

"Boom!

The sound of a collision with the wall alerted the barbarian general. He looked towards the city wall and saw that the corner of a chariot had reached the city wall and started to gleam.

What he didn't know was that Zhao Xing on the other side had actually begun to think about whether to give up the attack.

Because the situation coming from the other two sides is not very good, if the casualties are too heavy, or if the delay is too long, and the three-party Nine Nether Army chasing behind is caught up, then the trouble will be big.

At that time, they would have to fight with their backs against the water, which violated his original intention of fighting guerrilla warfare. "The messenger asked Xia Jing to the west, how long will it take to capture it?" Zhao Xing asked,

"Yes!" The messenger was an engineer from the Infinite Moment Flow. He closed his eyes and quickly replied to Zhao Xing. "Sir, Xia Jiangche said that it will take four hours at the fastest to break through in the west."

"Where is the north side of General Liao?" "Two hours."

Zhao Xing made some calculations and found that he had the best luck. The east side of his command was where the enemy's defense was weakest.

Now twenty boundary-breaking chariots have begun to destroy the city wall formation. The reinforcement speed is obviously slower than the speed of breaking the defense.

After about three quarters of an hour, the eastern city wall will be able to be nakedly defended. Once the city wall array fails, the difficulty of attacking will be greatly reduced.

Under the command of the Shenwei Army, there is an artillery battalion. In the restricted area of ​​​​Jue Tian Di Tong, it can be called a big killer.

A long time ago, Zhao Xing suggested to Ji Che that when the Six Departments held a meeting and the Suppression Realm held a meeting, some of the most powerful weapons in Jueguan Ditong were also put on the research agenda.

For example, Wang Ji of the Divine Power Army developed a mechanism called the [Shenwei Cannon]. Its materials are very common and have nothing to do with magic, but its power is amazing.

Jiuyoushen sent three armies of cultivators: Youyun, Zanghe, and Hou Sen, with a total of three armies (excluding a small number of local armies,

It is not without reason that this army came to encircle and suppress the Shiyang Army. The lethality of this army to the Southern Barbarian army in the Great Ditong was far higher than that of the armies in other places.

Because Zhao Xing used the Shiyang Army as a pilot at that time, and it was also the first army to conduct training with Jueguan Ditong as the imaginary enemy.

"Tell Xia Jing and Liao Rulong that if they cannot take control of Dashui City within two hours, they must retreat immediately and we will cross the river in another direction." Zhao Xing looked at the messenger and shouted.

"yes!"

As time passed, nine boundary-breaking chariots were destroyed one after another, but the light on the city wall became weaker and weaker. Finally, after three quarters of an hour, the city wall became dim and dull, and every brick turned into dirt.

The gray, tarnished city wall barrier disappeared!

It's finally broken!" Zhao Xing breathed a long sigh of relief. If it were placed elsewhere, in such a seventh-level witch city, the magic circle would only be at the intermediate level and could be broken casually.

But it's very slow to destroy it here. "Machine artillery battalion, fire!" Boom~

Large-scale explosions began on and within the city walls. Fires emerged and the loud noises immediately inspired people.

"Fire Bow Battalion 1, Battalion 2, shoot!"

"Where's the Sky-Breaking Airship? Zhao Chuanzong, put the God-breaking Crossbow on the Sky-Breaking Airship. Let me lift it into the air and kill the Seventh Rank Special Town!" "Go to the camp and prepare, follow me..."

Just as he was giving the order, Zhao Chuanzong suddenly pulled Zhao Xing.

Zhao Chuanzong is a general of the rangers. He can't play a role in the siege, so he acts as the deputy of the eldest brother Zhao Xing. "Why are you pulling me?"

Zhao Chuanzong hesitated and said: "Brother, Liuyun Feizhou is prepared for you, not for fighting. General Xia said, it can only be used for you to break out of encirclement...

In Jue Tian Di Tong, Fei Zhou's energy core became Yuan Jing, but it also became fragile. If it went to storm the city, it would most likely be broken.

There are not many small flying boats in the Ten Sun Legion. The whole army only has fifty small flying boats in total. There are only four medium-sized flying boats, which are the sky-breaking flying boats. Read books and search Xiuheng

Among them, small airships can only fly short distances and low altitudes, but medium-sized airships can fly long distances.

Damn it! Call me Da Sinong!" Zhao Xing pushed Zhao Chuanzong aside and said, "Is it Da Sinong, or is it General Xia Jing? Listen to my order and lift me into the air. I never thought of escaping alone!"

Zhao Xing's voice was loud and clear, and everyone saw and listened.

In fact, Mr. Zhao knew that this thing was just a psychological comfort. It would be difficult to escape with this thing when Jiuyoushen launched a large-scale sweep. Otherwise, he would have fled back to Da Zhou.

Unless he reaches the full level (fifth level) in Jue Tian Di Tong, he will never think of reaching the fifth level by running away, so he won't be afraid.

If he reaches the fifth level, he will have more methods. However, Liu Tianning is said to be invincible at the same level when he is at the fifth level, and he can overcome challenges such as eating and drinking.

After reaching the fifth level, Mr. Zhao can summon a very powerful straw man clone. Of course, the premise is that he has to survive this wave of sweeps.

Tianshui City was broken, and he couldn't let the upgrade experience go away. Just killing some ordinary barbarian soldiers would be of no use. Empty flying boat!"

"Kill!" "Charge!"

An hour after the battle started, the east side of Tianshui City was defeated. The west and south sides also successively fell through two hours later.

After masters such as Zhao Xing, Xia Jing, and Long Xiao boarded the city, they immediately opened up the situation, established a foothold at the top of the city, and immediately blasted open the city gate after regaining their strength.

After the city is broken, there will be street fighting. After entering the city, the battle will completely become a war between low-level practitioners. Tianshui City is a seventh-level witch city. As long as they enter, the people of the Ten Yang Legion will restore their realm to up to the seventh level.

The most difficult part was to destroy the city. Many people would die in the process. On the night of January 28th, Tianshui City was completely destroyed.

"How many people have recovered their strength?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Originally there were 350 people, but after taking Tianshui City, the number reached 880." Xia Jing said.

"There are more practitioners in Tianshui City than us, but fortunately they are not experts. They are far worse than those in Fengwu City, and they are also weaker than the pursuers behind them now." Chen Shijie said.

"Where are the casualties?"

"A lot of people died. Xia Jing said, "It's a good thing we captured the city, otherwise the number would have to be more than tripled."

The Witch City is very important because as long as the soldiers do not die immediately and enter the city after the city is broken, they will be able to recuperate to the greatest extent. Their own resistance will also recover with the state, and serious injuries will become minor injuries, and minor injuries will become minor injuries.

"Repair quickly, treat the wounded soldiers, and move the boat across the river. We can only stay here for two days at most." Zhao Xing said.

It took them about three days to rush from Fengwu City to Xichang City. The advance of tens of thousands of troops was relatively slow, but it was already considered fast.

Now there are tens of thousands of pursuing troops behind them, leaving them little time to repair the Tianshui River.

On February 1st, the army gradually crossed the fast Tianshui River.

On the evening of February 2nd, Zhao Xing once again split the Ten Yang Legion, this time into six groups instead of three. Xia Jing, Liao Rulong, Zhao Zheng, Long Xiao, and Chen Shijie each led one group and hid the ships crossing the river. At Sanshuwan.

Xia Jing and others were puzzled by this: "We will no longer need these ships when we go north to cross the Canglan River, so why not destroy them?"

Zhao Xing looked at the soldiers hiding the ship and thought: "Let's stay and watch first, just in case something goes wrong."

On February 5th, a group of people led by Commander Youyun of Jiuyou Che, and two groups of people from Zanghe and Hou Sen came to Tianshui City.

"Great Commander, Yingwu Lord Xia Jing and the others have crossed the river. Zanghe Road "marched very fast, as if they knew we were encircling and suppressing them."

"So what if you know?" Hou Sen said coldly: "After crossing the river and heading south, no matter which direction there are, there are ambushes. How long can they survive running so lightly?"

"As the encirclement becomes smaller and smaller, the speed of our reinforcements will become faster and faster. This time, it is a step slower. It will be difficult for them to attack the city and replenish it next time."

Hou Sen is right." Commander Youyun looked at the map, "As long as we keep watching them, sooner or later they will enter a dead end, and then they will have nowhere to escape."

In the wild, practitioners cannot get supplies. The higher the level of recovery, the more food they need to eat. As long as the army is destroyed, it will be difficult for a single person to enter the city.

Screening over and over again, they will either be caught, killed, or starved to death in the wild. Flying in the air? That would be easier to catch.

Report to the Commander-in-Chief! A big discovery has been made!" Suddenly, a guard rushed in excitedly and said, "Purple lines on Youyun's face covered half of his face, making him look a bit coquettish.

We have just received news that in the Zhou team crossing the river, the highest Zhou official is not only the Yingwu Lord Xia Jing, but also the long-lost Great Sinong Zhao Xing!"

What?" Commander Youyun stood up with a grunt, and looked at the soldiers in a determined manner: "Are you sure the news is true?"

"It's true that our people devoured a wandering soul of the Great Zhou Dynasty, saw Zhao Xing and Xia Jing enter Xichang City with their own eyes, and also saw him when they were in Tianhe City."

"Hahahaha!" Commander Youyun suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect that such a great achievement would happen to me." Regarding Zhao Xing, Ji Che made a condition to his subordinates that if there was definite information, Those who succeed will be promoted to two ranks and given the title of Marquis. They will be brought back

Those who work as agricultural ministers will be promoted to five levels and given the title of Duke!

The Southern Barbarians also attach great importance to it. As long as Commander Youyun has accurate information, he will be promoted to a higher level afterwards, and Zhao Xing will be captured or killed. He will also have the opportunity to be taught by Wu Yueshen himself!

I want to kill Zhao Xing!" This was Commander Youyun's first reaction, but he quickly gave up the idea.

Because although he has recovered to the sixth level, Zhao Xing may have also recovered to the seventh level. How can he find anyone in the vast wilderness by himself.

Maybe there is a risk of overturning. After all, Zhao Xing's past performance is famous for leapfrog challenges. Even the fifth-grade Nine Nether God cannot be found by himself, so he still has to rely on the army.

"Immediately vote for the God of Nine Netherworlds! There are only a few people in these three parties. To create a large encirclement, the more people, the better."

Youyun immediately realized that he could not reap the victory alone, so it was better to get the visible benefits first.

At the same time, through layers of information transmission, the news that Zhao Xing was still alive was secretly transmitted back to the royal city. Next, we got the news of Da Sinong! "Ji Piao reported.

"Are you sure?" Ji Che, who was sitting on the throne, looked excited. "Don't pretend again and make me happy in vain."

"This time it is absolutely true. Da Sinong wrote the letter and received secret information from the military world." Ji said. "But the front line also brought bad news, that is, the Nine Nether Gods gathered more than forty Our troops are conducting a large-scale raid on Cangyue Mansion and Hefu in the central part of the Southern Barbarians."

"Da Sinong is in the northeast of Lanhe Mansion. He is surrounded by the Nine Nether Gods."

Ji Che was silent. This news was too bad. He had just received the news from his eldest brother, but found out that he was in danger.

"Immediately send an order to Lord Luo Hou, asking him to bring Zhao Xing back at all costs. I repeat, no matter what the cost! Even if we fight decades later, even if all the ten forbidden armies are defeated, it doesn't matter!"

"Yes." Ji Si nodded.

Ji Che looked towards the distant sky and murmured to himself: "Brother, you have to hold on."

On February 7, three days after leaving the south of Tianshui River, Zhao Xing's Shiyang Army began to attack Min City, Heshui City, and Yuyou City in Lanhe Prefecture according to the original plan.

Once these three cities are opened, as long as they pass through two more lines of defense, they will have a chance to join Dong Ze's Shensu Army.

Two of the lines of defense are relatively sparse. After all, Jiuyoushen has mobilized so many people, so many places have become short of manpower.

However, after three days of fighting, none of Min City, Heshui City, and Yuyou City were captured. Instead, the enemy's reinforcements were coming.

"Brother Zhao, the situation is not good. If we can't capture one within three days, we will be surrounded." Xia Jing was worried.

They now have a handful of cultivators, including about a dozen seventh-grade practitioners. However, this level of strength will not last long in the encirclement of the vast enemy army.

As the encirclement becomes smaller and smaller, the window period for them to attack the city will become shorter and shorter.

No more fighting." Zhao Xing looked at the map for a while, shook his head and said, "If we continue to fight, it will be a dead end. Let the troops of Lao Chen and Lao Liao begin to retreat."

Where to retreat?" Xia Jing asked.

Cross the Dashui River again and return to Fengcheng." Zhao Xingdao

"What?" Xia Jing was a little confused: "How can we go back? Now there are old troops surrounding us from all sides. We still have to go back to the source."

North of Hefu?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. We just crossed the river. The enemy must not have thought that we jumped out of an encirclement and got back in." Zhao Xingdao: "So we just want to attack the enemy before they encircle them. The river garrison point, return to the north of Lanhe Mansion again, and the speed must be fast."
