This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 654 Take the lead
"What happened on the mountain?"

Inside Yangping Pass, Du Ning hurried over with his big ax on his shoulder.

Luo Yi on the top of the city raised his eyes and looked into the distance, he could see the flames in the Grand Master's camp in the distance, and the voices of people were noisy, obviously there was also a change.

Luo Yi's heart sank: "I'm afraid it's not a good thing."

The two were responsible for guarding Yangping Pass, which was supposed to be the second line of defense set up by Cao Su, but the first line of defense at Baima Ferry was defeated too quickly.

Now the general's order came, ordering everyone to fortify the walls and clear the fields, and guard Yangping Pass to the death.

This "solid walls and clear fields" is actually nothing to clear. Outside the entire Yangping Pass, there are no residents and people. After Yangping Pass, there are a large number of Jizhou cities and Jizhou people.

With a rough voice, Du Ning said in a muffled voice, "Is there any news?"

Luo Yi shook his head.

At this time, there was a black armored warrior who came running quietly from a distance.

That black-armored soldier was exactly the spy Luo Yi sent out.

Luo Yi's eyes lit up: "There's news."

Du Ning knew that Luo Yi had set up a lot of bright and dark whistles on the mountain, which were specially used to guard against the opponent's invasion from the top of the mountain.

The hills on both sides of Yangping Pass are rugged and difficult for large troops to pass through. If it was Du Ning, he would not spend his experience to pay attention to these two places.

But Luo Yi was very cautious. The defense was not only in the city, but also involved in the mountains, and he considered more comprehensively. This is what Du Ning admired.

So although Du Ning's martial arts is higher than Luo Yi's, but according to his military position, Luo Yi's officer is higher than Du Ning.

The black-armored warrior came in a hurry and knelt down on one knee to report: "Two generals, news came from the secret sentry on the mountain, and just now a number of high-level generals in the enemy's camp rushed straight to the top of the mountain."

The top-rank fighter in the strength realm will go straight to the top of the mountain?

Luo Yi and Du Ning looked at each other, they were both very shocked.

There is a gap between the high-end combat power of the two sides, but neither side knows how big the gap is.

The same goes for the Taishi camp. At present, it is only known that Cao Jun will not have too many high-end combat powers, but no one knows how many high-end combat powers Cao Su deploys at Yangpingguan.

From this few words, Luo Yi got the news that among the soldiers and horses on Chu Xinfeng's journey, there may be a lot of high-level forces.

As for the entire Yangping Pass, Cao Su only let go of Du Ning and Heng Xuesong, two of the top ranks. Among them, Heng Xuesong had gone back to Jizhou Prefecture to report on his work, and was not at the pass yet.

"In the capital of the gods, there are many high-level strengths. In the past, the three of us were under the command of the general, and we were not considered the most powerful generals."

Du Ning was rough but thoughtful, and seeing Luo Yi's worry, he opened his mouth and explained in a muffled voice.

Luo Yi was also a general who had been in the capital of God, but at that time he was a low-ranking general, and there were not many high-level generals who could get in touch with. Looking at it now, the number of high-level generals in the Grand Master camp is definitely far more than it is now. camp of generals.

This matter is no small matter, it is equivalent to an important piece of information, and the general must be notified quickly.

"In addition, there are some ancient big families in the capital of the gods. I heard that these families have also joined the Grand Master's camp. Grand Master Rong has absorbed the power of these families. For example, Chu Xinfeng is an example. The number will increase further.”

"If the general wants to defeat the Grand Master, he must continue to increase his combat power at the top level."

Everyone understands what Du Ning can see.

Luo Yi knew that Cao Su was already in close contact with the Jianghu sects in the four states, but these Jianghu sects were old-fashioned and would not easily invest capital in Cao Su. If Cao Su won, it would indeed be theirs. A good harvest, but once Cao Su is defeated, it will definitely be a disaster for these Jianghu sects that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years.

No one can provoke the Taishi camp that defeated the general.

Both of them fell silent, only feeling the pressure in their hearts.

"You don't need to worry about the matter of high-grade combat power."

Just as the two hesitated and sighed, they suddenly heard a familiar voice.

The voice reached the ears of both of them at the same time, and both of them were shocked, showing surprise.

"General!"

Under the moonlight, a tall figure suddenly stood on the city tower in the middle of the night.

He was dressed in black armor, held a sword in his hand, and looked down at the common people with his gaze, with a majesty of his own.

The two performed lightness kung fu and immediately flew up to the city tower to meet Cao Su.

Seeing this, Cao Jun's soldiers around also knelt down on one knee.

Cao Su tied his hand to signal that everyone should not be too polite.

Luo Yi and Du Ning were very excited to see Cao Su, but at the same time showed a trace of doubt, especially Luo Yi, who thought of the changes on the mountain today: "General, why did you come to the pass?"

Cao Su said in a deep voice: "Rongzheng's three forces are attacking me, this Chu Xinfeng's one is the absolute main force, and the other two are easy to deal with."

"Chu Xinfeng came from the Forbidden Army, and gathered some elites from the Habayashi Army and the Yuzhou Mansion Army. The individual combat power may not be inferior to our army. Therefore, to repel Rongzheng's three-way army, Chu Xinfeng's way is the key."

"It doesn't matter whether he is right or wrong, if he defeats one team, the other two teams will also be affected."

The two nodded and understood Cao Su's meaning, but Cao Su came alone
Cao Su continued: "I have arranged reinforcements on the way. Chu Xinfeng's way is stronger because he has more upper-rank combat power and more qi refiners. Tonight, they probably planned to prepare some kind of formation. A battle formation was set up on the top of the side hill, but unfortunately I happened to meet them, so I took care of a bunch of Qi refiners in their army."

Cao Su showed a smile, this is really nowhere to be found, it doesn't take much effort, it is not easy to kill a qi refiner in the chaos, but without the protection of a warrior, it is so straightforward Meeting a Qi refiner face to face, especially a Qi refiner who is not strong enough, is to give Cao Su the head, especially now that Cao Su has a great mastery of the Divine Lightning Mysterious Physique, the Purple Thunder Saber is like a dream, and his movement is like thunder. The method is as fast as lightning, and it is the absolute nemesis to defeat these qi refiners.

It was a fruitful night tonight, and it was not in vain for him to come here.

After hearing what Cao Su said, the two were shocked. They didn't expect the enemy to quietly touch the top of the mountain to prepare for the formation.

No matter what the formation is, since it was built secretly in the middle of the night, it must be a formation that is not good for Yangping Pass.

Luo Yi's face was livid, and he cupped his hands to plead guilty: "General, it's the last general who didn't do his best to investigate and gave the enemy a loophole."

Luo Yi had already set up defenses on the mountain, but the Qi Refining Soldiers had secretive methods, and there were many ways to avoid the detection of these ordinary soldiers and come to the top of the mountain.

Cao Su waved his hand: "I've seen the spies on the mountain, and you've thought about it, but there are some things that you can't do just by thinking about it. It's not your problem."

Luo Yi said in a deep voice: "General, what should I do next?"

Originally, Cao Su's order to the two was to fortify the wall and clear the field, and defend Yangping Pass to the death. Now that Cao Su has arrived at Yangping Pass in person, the next strategy depends on how Cao Su arranges it.

The two focused on Cao Su, and the most troublesome thing was the lack of high-end combat power in Yangping Pass.

And Cao Su had already spoken just now, the high-end combat power of the Taishi camp does not need to be considered by the two of them.

"You two continue to guard this Yangping pass, and don't let Rongzheng's soldiers pass through here."

"I will find a way to solve the high-end combat power of the enemy army. Tonight, I have killed a lot of qi refiners. It is estimated that the enemy army will rest for a while. You should be ready."

Cao Su killed so many Qi refiners tonight, Chu Xinfeng couldn't figure out how many top fighters and Qi refiners Cao Jun had.

The next step is the game at a higher level. It is different from when Cao Su led the army to fight. Today's war has become a more high-level fight. In comparison, the strength of the soldiers at the bottom does not dominate More scenes.

When the two heard that Cao Su was so confident, they were also determined, so they stopped talking and left with fists in their hands.

Standing on the city tower, Cao Su overlooked the Grand Master's camp, as if he could see the panic of the enemy troops.

Overnight, the ascetics suffered heavy casualties. Next, Rong Zheng should find a way to replenish the number of Qi refiners on the front line.

Cao Su's eyes flashed, and he had a plan in mind.
-
For several days, there was no movement from Chu Xinfeng.

On the other hand, Cao Su personally sat in Yangping Pass, practicing in closed-door training on the heights of the city tower, as if waiting for the opponent's next wave of offensive.

Normally, no one came to bother Cao Su, but a rumor spread in the pass that the general had come to the pass in person to fight against the enemy with all the generals.

Seeing is believing, I haven't seen the general, so it's just a guess.

On this day, Cao Su pushed open the door.

Jizhou is a bit hot in summer, and thick dark clouds are densely covered in the sky.

It seemed to herald the coming storm.

Cao Su narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the cool breeze blowing from the sky and the earth.

Not long after, several streamers flew from behind and appeared one by one in front of Cao Su.

"Meet the General."

"Meet the General!"

A total of eight people, besides Jin Mu Jin Kun, Wang Qing, Heng Xuesong, Wan Buping, Mu Xiuyuan, You Gaohan and others.

The crowd, led by Cao Su, was dressed in black and put on various masks.

At this time, the people on the tower had been emptied by Cao Su, and no one was disturbed when they fell down.

Cao Su knew the identities of everyone, and everyone knew each other, but after putting on the mask, it seemed that they didn't know their identities all at once, or pretended not to know.

"Stop calling me General."

Cao Su frowned and said: "This time I will take you to intercept Rongzheng's follow-up support. Calling me a general is disrespectful. Everyone, just keep it simple and call me big brother."

Everyone immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, their faces very exciting.

There is no problem with Cao Su being the "big brother in the lead". The problem is that Cao Su is only in his 20s. No one here is more than a dozen years old than Cao Su. The youngest Wan Buping is now a middle-aged man in his 40s .

Several people rushed to Yangping Pass under Cao Su's summons, and Cao Su didn't exchange greetings with the crowd, just waved his hand.

Several streamers immediately started to detour and flew towards the west.
-
A few days ago, Jizhou Hongye Palace.

You Gaohan, the owner of Hongye Palace, received a letter from Cao Su.

In the past, Hongye Palace was regarded as the sect at the junction of Lingzhou and Gwangju. Most of the time, Hongye Palace was regarded as the sect of Lingzhou.

However, in recent years, with the expansion of the three major sects in Lingzhou, Hongye Palace, a first-class sect in Lingzhou, has had a hard time. As the owner of Hongye Palace, You Gaohan can only be forced to transfer some sect properties. Began to think of ways to infiltrate towards Gwangju and other places.

During the period, he also encountered big thieves like Wei Hai who were in trouble, and almost the entire sect was in trouble because of it.

The Red Leaf Palace can't afford to struggle. Although it is a first-class sect, in the eyes of the real top forces in the world, it is as weak as an ant and can be easily crushed.

You Gaohan is also trying to make a living in the north, and has already set up sub-helms in Gwangju and other places.

Unexpectedly, drastic changes had also taken place in the entire north. The general Cao Su sent troops out of Youzhou and took over the four northern states directly, becoming the true overlord of the north, with millions of men in armor and countless capable ministers and generals under his command.

This terrifying force is even more terrifying than the previous three major forces in Lingzhou, making You Gaohan shudder.

If Hongye Palace wanted to survive in the north, it could only rely on or obey the arrangement of the general.

Most of the time, the "business environment" in the north satisfied You Gaohan, especially not long ago, the Jizhou Prefecture opened the Beiwu Academy, and Hongye Palace, as a representative of the new forces in the north, also won two places. Several outstanding disciples were sent to the school for further study.

According to the news from his disciples, the atmosphere in the school is excellent, there are a lot of various martial arts resources, and there are top martial arts masters such as generals to teach, and his progress is extremely fast.

It is hoped that within this year, they will reach the fourth-rank realm, and then they can try the upper-rank realm within three years in the school.

If a disciple really succeeds in breaking into the upper-rank realm, then the strength of the entire Red Leaf Palace will be greatly increased.

It's a pity that the good times don't last long. This kind of happiness has a price.

You Gaohan held the letter from Cao Su, his face uncertain.

Several important elders in the palace didn't know why You Gaohan had such an expression. When they wanted to read the letter, the letter had already been put away by You Gaohan.

"Elders, I have a question I would like to ask you."

Although You Gaohan is young, he has excellent martial arts and is one of the best masters in the history of Hongye Palace. You Gaohan has contributed a lot to the vigorous development of Hongye Palace.

Although the elders didn't know what letter Cao Su sent, they thought it must be very important and confidential, otherwise You Gaohan would not have let everyone circulate it.

"The palace lord said it's okay."

Several elders were old, but their eyes were clear. They sat in the lower seat of You Gaohan and listened to You Gaohan's words.

You Gaohan asked in a deep voice: "If the general wants to ask me to do something, should I go or not?"

Should the general invite you to go?
This question was very acute, and the expressions of several elders changed slightly.

One of the elders asked, "Is this a personal invitation from the General or an invitation from the General's Mansion?"

You Gaohan shook his head: "There is no explanation."

The elder hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Speaking of it in a small way, if it is a personal invitation from the general, then it is reasonable for the palace master to go. After all, the palace master represents yourself, but if you go to the big In other words, it is an invitation from the General's Mansion, so I hope the Palace Master will be cautious, any sect that has been too close to the government in history seems to have no good results."

The relationship with the government is something that every sect needs to learn to deal with.

The atmosphere in Hongye Palace was very solemn, You Gaohan said again: "If you don't go, what will happen to the general?"

After his words fell, several elders immediately retorted, and some elders reminded You Gaohan: "Palace Master, don't forget about the Youbei League."

In the Youzhou Mansion before, all the sects in Youzhou opposed Cao Su, what happened in the end?Yun Zhengxin was killed, the entire Youbei League was uprooted, Piaoxue City was renamed, and Piaoxuezong fell into a slump after that, losing the demeanor of the No. [-] sect in Youzhou in the past.

Now that Cao Su's power has increased greatly, he is the true overlord of the north. Hongye Palace dare not offend Cao Su, at least they cannot become his enemy.

This is the bottom line that many elders think.

An elder suggested: "If it's out of personal favor, it's okay for the palace master to help the general, so that the general can still owe the palace master a favor."

You Gaohan explained: "Others may not know that I am doing this, but only the general knows it."

As soon as this was said, everyone became happier. Isn't this a happy thing for everyone!
Several elders looked at each other, and then said with a smile: "Palace Master, it's okay to go. Now there is Chiyunzong in Jizhou, Dingtian Palace in Guangzhou, but there is no super sect in Youzhou. If we can build a good relationship with the general, we will be happy." In the future, the layout in Youzhou will be smoother in the future."
