Chapter 346 God Helps Me Too
August 1331, [-] in the New Yu Calendar

Ninety miles is very close to Hou Yuxiao, and he can reach it in less than one stick of incense, but to an army of one million people, it is very far.

The 170 million coalition troops in southern Xinjiang are all stationed in Qingmiao City. No matter how confident Hou Yuxiao is, he does not dare to let the three armies arrive in batches, so he must accommodate the slowest.

The top-grade war horses equipped by the Red Flame Army can march three hundred miles in an hour, while the Zhaoyang Army and the Red Miao Army are equipped with high-grade war horses, which can only travel 160 miles in an hour at most. There are 30 Hongmiao Army who are not equipped with war horses. , I can only walk less than twenty miles in an hour.

This is still the case when the army does not exceed 50.

If the army exceeds one million, it is another level of magnitude.

"Even if a million-strong army doesn't move, they can line up dozens of miles away. They have to beware of ambushes along the way. The marching order needs to be changed frequently. In addition, if there are emergencies in the army, if they rely solely on their feet, the most that a million-strong army can do in an hour is It can travel about ten miles; if it is paired with a high-quality war horse, it can travel twenty miles in an hour; if it is paired with a high-quality war horse, which is the fastest, it can travel thirty miles in an hour."

At Feipeng Mountain Pass, Hou Yuxiao looked at the endless marching team behind him. Hearing Hou Yucheng's explanation, he nodded and said: "So, let's accommodate the Red Miao Army and it will take at least nine hours to reach Qingmiao City. That's right. Bar?"

"It's far more than that, brother, look ahead!"

Hou Yuxiao looked in the direction that Hou Yucheng pointed, and immediately frowned, and immediately understood the reason why Hou Yucheng said it was far more than that.

Although Feipeng Mountain stretches for dozens of miles, the terrain is indeed not high. Looking at it from mid-air at this moment, the highest point is at most 300 meters, and the lowest point may be less than [-] meters. The reason why Hou Yuxiao frowned is because the entire mountain ground The terrain is uneven, and the terrain is sometimes raised and sometimes sunken, and the distance between them is even less than ten meters.

Such terrain would greatly affect normal people walking, let alone a million-strong army. As for war horses walking, it would be even more difficult. It would be difficult for the soldiers to ride on the horses, and they would probably have to dismount. Specialized in leading horses.

"I have estimated that if we don't pursue speed, it will take at least a full day for the army to get out of this mountain, which is twelve hours. It will take two hours to get to Qingmiao City. We will not be able to arrive until at least noon tomorrow. This is still ...without any influence in the middle."

After saying that he was not affected in the middle, Hou Yucheng paused for a moment, and a cold light flashed in his pupils.

"Because when marching in terrain like Feipeng Mountain, those who don't lead horses will go faster, so I changed the marching order and let Hongmiao's 30-strong army go at the front, with 40 Zhaoyang troops in the middle, and another There are 20 Hongmiao troops, and they all have war horses, so the last row will be led by the Red Flame troops, so that if anything goes wrong, they can respond in time."

Hou Yuxiao nodded and said, "Then let's start going into the mountain!"

"Okay, the army is marching into the mountains!"

With Hou Yucheng's order, 120 million troops began to formally enter the Feipeng Mountain section. Although there were a large number of troops, they were in order. Before entering the mountain, the Miao Army and the Chiyan Army got off their horses and chose to lead their horses into the mountain on foot.

Marching is not like fighting, and is commanded by middle- and lower-level officers. Hou Yucheng and the three brothers of the Gao family do not have to follow the army. Besides, with their current Yuandan realm cultivation, they can achieve the best effect by leaving the army and observing the front at any time, so the four of them have been Together with Hou Yuxiao, they all hung in the air and watched the army enter the mountain.

"Although the entire section of Feipeng Mountain is only seventy miles, there are two big bends in the middle. Calculating, the distance has nearly doubled, so it will take us a day to get out. It's just after noon now, and it should be noon tomorrow You can walk out.”

The scorching sun was in the sky. When Hou Yucheng saw the end of the army entering the mountain, he was slightly relieved. Then he looked at Feipeng Mountain, pointed at the two big arcs in the middle, and continued: "Looking from the sky, these two big arcs are connected together. Coupled with the main body, it really looks like a roc spreading its wings.”

Hou Yuxiao took a look, nodded, his expression condensed, turned to look at Hou Yucheng, and asked in a low voice: "Have you made arrangements for the locations where the army may be ambushed?"

"Don't worry, brother, I have already arranged everything."

Hou Yucheng answered with confidence on his face, but then he thought of something, and with a trace of doubt on his face, he asked softly: "Brother, the Southern Xinjiang Coalition Army can't be so stupid, can they really dare to take the initiative?"

When Hou Yuxiao deliberately chose the Feipeng Mountain route, Hou Yucheng could tell that his purpose was to deliberately lure the Southern Xinjiang coalition forces into an ambush. But in fact, up to now, he was still a little worried in his heart, whether the Southern Xinjiang coalition forces would , really take the initiative.

The current strength comparison between the two sides is 120 million in Hexi and 170 million in Southern Xinjiang. It seems that Southern Xinjiang has 50 more troops, but don't forget that Hexi has 30 that can stop the elite Red Flame Army of the Holy Land. Therefore, the comparison of the strength of the two sides is absolutely unmatched. It cannot be calculated based on military strength.

Even regardless of the comparison of strength, as far as Southern Xinjiang is concerned, their purpose in this battle is to prevent Hexi from taking over Southern Xinjiang. They are regarded as defenders. As long as they can resist Hexi's army and retain their strength, then Hexi's goal of taking over Southern Xinjiang will be achieved. No.

Since it is defense, it must be that defending the city has the advantage, and at the same time, the chance of winning is the greatest. Isn't it crazy to take the initiative to attack?
Let’s not talk about whether you can win by taking the initiative. The act of taking the initiative itself is very stupid. There is no external influence. You obviously only need to defend the city and you have to go out to fight with others.

At present, the combined strength of the two sides is nearly 300 million. It is impossible to win in one battle. This means that even if they take the initiative to win the southern Xinjiang, it will not play a key role. On the contrary, it will lead to a reduction in the number of troops defending the city. This For the Hexi army, this is a great blessing.

Therefore, taking the initiative to attack is an act of capitalizing on the enemy!
Hou Yuxiao naturally understood what Hou Yucheng was thinking. He lowered his head and chuckled twice, and said, "I deliberately let the army go to Feipeng Mountain. If you say that Nanjiang knows about it, what would you think?"

"It's obvious that this is what lured them into taking the bait..."

Hou Yucheng suddenly reacted, his words paused, and the expression on his face gradually became more exciting.

When Hexi's army walked to Feipeng Mountain, with such an obvious strategy to lure the enemy, Southern Xinjiang would think that Hexi was playing psychological tactics to prevent them from leaving the city to ambush. In this way, they would...

"Master, you are so clever!"

"The plan is within the plan. Maybe Southern Xinjiang will really fall into the trap."

The three Gao brothers also reacted at this time. Their eyes suddenly lit up and they couldn't help but praise.

"Continue to march. According to the previous arrangement, if Nanjiang really dares to take the initiative to attack and ambush in the mountains, then take this opportunity to consume them well, and then the pressure of attacking the city will be much less."

"yes, Sir."

"Yes, master!"

The expressions on the faces of the four people were extremely confident, and they did not pay attention to the southern Xinjiang army that might be ambushing in the mountains.

When Hou Yucheng led the Gao family to the front military formation, Hou Yuxiao looked at Feipeng Mountain and gradually fell into deep thought.

In fact, no matter how clever his psychological tactics are to lure the enemy out of the city, the best choice for Southern Xinjiang is to defend the city and ambush outside the city. This is still a bad move. But the people in Southern Xinjiang are not stupid. , can all see it, and will not choose to take the initiative.

But he still felt that Nanjiang would take the initiative.

The reason lies in Duanmu Hong!
Hou Yuxiao had already prepared when he heard the news that Duanmu Hong had come to Southern Xinjiang. This time Hexi faced off against not only Southern Xinjiang, but also the variable of the Rakshasa Holy Cult.

If the Rakshasa Holy Cult and Qingxuan want to repair the Chi Litian barrier, they must kill at least two martial arts masters. Heigu has been killed, but Hongjuo has escaped death. In other words, Duanmuhong and Qingxuan have to kill them. Kill at least one martial arts sub-sage.

This is why he let the seriously injured Hongju hide in Heimiao City.

Hongqiu was hiding in Heimiao City, and the next targets of Duanmuhong and Qingxuan were only Bai Tong and Ziquan. This also meant that the Southern Xinjiang coalition forces were not monolithic, and the thoughts of Bai Tong and Ziquan did not matter to Hou Yuxiao. It was clear, but he was certain that Duanmu Hong and Qing Xuan definitely wanted to kill them, at least one of them.

In this case, he deliberately walked to Feipeng Mountain. Assuming that Duanmuhong and Qingxuan realized that they could not leave the city, they would definitely find a way to trick Ziquan and Baitong into coming out, so that they would have a chance to take action.

The Rakshasa Holy Cult certainly did not want to see Hexi take over Southern Xinjiang, so they encouraged Qingxuan to form the Southern Xinjiang coalition. In other words, they wanted to kill Bai Tong and Ziquan to repair Chilitian; The white and purple Miao armies helped them resist the Hexi army...

If the army from Hexi approached the city, and they attacked Baitong Ziquan in full view of Qingmiao City, it would be tantamount to helping Hexi take down the southern border. Therefore, they had to attack Bai Miao and Ziquan before the army from Hexi arrived at Qingmiao City , In this way, not only can the goal of repairing Chi Litian's barrier be achieved, but it can also be used to blame Hexi, making the southern border coalition forces more united in their hatred, and using the white and purple Miao troops to continue to help defend the city.

From this point of view, Feipeng Mountain is their only chance!

"In an ambush, it is impossible for them to suppress all the chips. They should only send out a part of the army. At the same time, in order to deceive others, they will continue to use the white seedling and purple seedling armies. There is a high probability that they will send out the green seedling army to ambush, so as to have a chance to attack Bai Tong. Let’s start with Ziquan and see if my guesses are correct or not!”

Hou Yuxiao shook his head slightly. In the final analysis, these were just his guesses. It was not certain whether things would go as he expected, but this was also deduced from the information he currently had in his mind. Of course, he had a certain degree of confidence.

Originally, if Duanmuhong was not here, Hou Yuxiao's thoughts would not be so complicated, but when he thought that Duanmuhong and the Holy Son were both sent by Sikong Yue, he had to start to be extremely vigilant.

The shadow that Sikong Yue gave him is still there to this day!
He had just learned from Hong Kui that the Five Miaos in Southern Xinjiang were descendants of the Holy Ancestor Ni Han. If this was the case, Sikong Yue's purpose of repairing Chi Litian's barrier was not simple. Moreover, Ni Han was now with Nan Since Xinjiang is involved, will Dajin also interfere in the affairs of Southern Xinjiang...

In other words, Da Jin has already intervened, but he doesn't know it yet?

Hou Yuxiao woke up from deep thought and watched the sky gradually darken. His expression sank slightly, he released his breath slightly and inspected all the areas where the army was about to pass.

Not surprisingly, nothing gained!
He can use karma to cover up the aura of an army, and others can also use the mysterious magic circle to cover it up. If there is an ambush in the southern border, they will not wait for him to sense it.

It's a pity that Lao Wu is not here!
Hou Yuxiao glanced at the direction of Qingmiao City from afar, with a glint in his eyes, and followed the army unhurriedly.

...............

At night, on a hillside at the middle end of Feipeng Mountain, about twenty miles away from the mountain pass, several figures were standing on it, looking up at the long line of lights to the east that stretched for dozens of miles.

"The 120 million troops moving in full force is truly spectacular."

"I originally thought that the three armies in Hexi would split up and march, but I didn't expect that Hou Yuxiao would be so generous and form a long queue. This really means that he doesn't take our southern Xinjiang coalition forces seriously at all!"

"Everyone, the 50-strong Black Miao army is defending the city. They cannot stop the 30-strong Red Flame Army of the Hou family. Please note that they are defending the city. Please forgive Bai Tong for speaking bluntly. The elite of the Holy Land cannot be stopped by our southern Xinjiang coalition forces. Everyone , it’s still too late to regret it now!”

Bai Tong, the one on the far left, had not agreed to leave the city as early as when he was in the temple. Now seeing the huge Hexi army, he couldn't help but persuade everyone, hoping to lead the army back to the city.

Unfortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately objected.

"The chief of the Bai tribe wants to boost the morale of others and destroy his own prestige. Although the Hexi Chiyan army is strong, our soldiers in southern Xinjiang are not bad. Although the Hexi army is powerful, it has traveled south after a long journey, and it is still an invading side. Morale They are definitely not as high as our soldiers in southern Xinjiang. In addition, we are now afraid of Hexi because we are calculated with intention but not intention. It would be too cowardly."

Qingxuan's words immediately aroused the agreement of everyone.

"No matter how strong the Red Flame Army is, it only has 30 soldiers."

"The Hexi army has been lined up dozens of miles away. It is impossible to fight on a large scale. It just caught them off guard!"

"It's just an ambush. It only needs to be dispersed. If the army behind Hexi cannot follow up in time, there will be chaos. Thousands of people, or even more, will die just from the stampede."

"And the Luo Valley where our army is ambushing happens to be flat. It is the only place in Feipeng Mountain where you can ride war horses. With the advantages of war horses, even the Red Flame Army shouldn't be able to stop us, right?"

Zi Quan, the leader of the Purple Miao Tribe, finally couldn't help but speak after hearing what everyone said. The main force of the ambush was the Purple Miao Army. He had surveyed the terrain early, and the Luo Valley he chose was only more than ten miles away. , but the terrain is flat, just enough for war horses to gallop.

The Hexi army entered Feipeng Mountain from the east and had no choice but to abandon their horses and march. When they reached the mouth of the valley, the Zimiao army swarmed up. It would not be so easy to mount their horses again.

Suddenly, a figure galloped from the front. The man found Ziquan in the crowd at a glance, walked up to him and bowed, with a hint of joy in his tone, he said respectfully:
"Clan Chief, I have seen clearly that Hou Yuxiao placed the 30 Red Miao Army without horses at the front, the 40 Zhaoyang Army and 20 Red Miao Army from Hexi in the middle, and the 30 Red Miao Army from Hexi at the end. The Flame Army, except for the 30 Red Miao Army in front, the other 90 troops are all equipped with war horses, but due to terrain restrictions, they can only march with their horses now, and they will arrive in two hours at most."

...............

After hearing this person's report, everyone suddenly became quiet, with a slight look of astonishment on their faces, followed by a few whispers.

"30 Hongmiao troops are leading the charge. How dare you make such a big deal?"

"How is it possible? No matter what, at least let the Zhaoyang army take the lead, but actually put Hongmiao's 30-strong army in front. It's simply..."

"No, I understand, this Hou Yuxiao is so poisonous!"

"Is this a red seedling used as cannon fodder?"

"He wants to consume the red seedling army."

………………

"God helps me, God helps me, hahahahaha!"

Ziquan suddenly let out a burst of laughter, turned to look at the five generals of the Zi Miao tribe, and ordered in a deep voice: "Let the army prepare. When all the Red Miao troops at the front enter the valley, the whole army will rush in immediately. Let Hou Yuxiao go first. Have a taste of it!"

"Subordinates obey!"
