I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 488 Chaofeng Palace! Accident! Deadlock!

With the spiritual light of the treasure boat as the base, a large formation is formed to guide the stars.

Under the scattered stars, the curtain of the yellow sky was broken in one fell swoop.

As soon as this great method was broken, the Taoist leader Huang Tian's face turned pale as gold paper and he was immediately attacked back.

With blood oozing from his mouth and nose, he wanted to recall all the Huang Tianlishi immediately, but it was too late.

"Want to go?"

A dull voice that could not tell whether it was happy or angry sounded in the void. Huang Tiandao narrowed his eyes and looked at the familiar brocade clothes that appeared in front of him.

"So it's Yong Ting's hawk dog——"

Chaofeng Palace.

The Yong Ji clan is one of the most powerful forces in the world.

The eight realms of celestial beings serve as the chief worshippers of the Chaofeng Palace.

The Nine Realms Taiyi above that alone governs a palace and is called the palace master.

The person who came was a Grand Court Official with the eighth realm of cultivation, but I didn't know if there was a Palace Master of the Taiyi realm accompanying him in secret.

As for Huang Tianzeidao calling him a 'hawk and dog', the expression of the Grand Chaofeng Palace's Eight Realms Chief Chaofeng did not change at all.

After all, the other party's description is not wrong.

Dayong Ji used the imperial dragon energy to support their practice. How is this different from raising hawks and dogs?
"We didn't investigate earlier, and we allowed you and your evil ways to gain power. It's all our fault."

"Fortunately, His Majesty is merciful and has given me a chance to atone for my sins."

"So, don't even think about running away. You can't run away."

Last year on October 15th was the Lower Yuan Festival.

If the palace master who went to Guangzong City in Jizhou at that time had not been too careless, what would a mere Huang Tiandao be?
It’s a pity that the most feared thing in this world is “if”.

No one could have imagined that in the end the three thieves Zhang Xian brothers would steal the secret and cause their plan to fail.

Finally had to retreat in embarrassment.

It is understandable that the Chaofeng Palace, which has never lost such a huge face, wants to make amends and wipe out the previous shame.

Hearing the arrogant tone of the hawks on the opposite side, and looking down, he saw that the imperial guards had reorganized under the order of Gongye Jin, ready to cross the river again at any time.

Huang Tiandao leader suddenly laughed.

"Run? Why would I run?"

"I have said, as long as I am here today, no one can cross this river!"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Minister of the Eight Realms shook his head slightly.

"If you are stubborn, you will die."

"But that's good, it saves me a lot of effort."

After all, they are all in the same eighth realm, and although their strengths vary, it would be quite troublesome if the other party really wanted to escape.

After both parties had spoken like this, there was no need for any more nonsense.

Almost in the next moment, the two eighth-level celestial beings fiercely fought each other in the void above the Jishui River!

And in this void, Huang Tianlishi, who had received the Taoist master's teachings, did not hesitate at all. He directly gave up fighting with those mysterious armored soldiers and instantly stepped on the Jishui River and strode backwards.

It’s a pity that they are already deeply trapped in the formation formed by the wreckage of the treasure ships. How can they retreat easily?
"kill!"

The mysterious armored soldiers who seized the opportunity chased after the terrifying giants on the opposite side and killed them almost the moment they saw them retreat.

As for those Huangtian strongmen who had died and resurrected before, they fell silent again the moment the Huangtian curtain was broken.

With a slight change in the wind and waves, the huge corpse as heavy as a mountain fell down with a loud bang, raising huge waves that had already been dyed red with its blood.

"Cross the river!"

At this moment, there was finally no need for General Gongye Jin to give orders again.

The vanguard messenger unfurled the command flag in his hand, and one treasure boat after another swarmed into the water from the bank of the Ji River, and then quickly moved forward.

Cross the river! Cross the river!
……

The Huangtian warriors in the front who lost the protection and blessing of the Huangtian Curtain were killed one after another.

The roars and instinctive cries of pain were as loud as thunder.

There is no doubt that the mysterious armored troops that do not belong to the Shen Ce and Tian Ce imperial guards are extremely cruel and powerful.

The imperial guards who witnessed this scene were shocked, but more importantly, they felt at ease.

To put it bluntly, nothing is simpler and more straightforward than the battlefield.

The stronger your comrades are, the greater your chances of survival.

Besides, who cares about the mess?

Cross the river!

Perhaps it was because Gongye Jin repeatedly emphasized the need to cross the river that many people keenly sensed something unusual.

At this moment, the treasure boat carrying the vanguard army bypassed the battlefield where the battle was still going on and rushed towards the north bank of the Jishui River at almost the fastest speed.

close!

A glimmer of joy flashed in the eyes of the accompanying imperial guard general. After scanning the front with his mind and confirming that there was no ambush, he was still worried and stepped directly into the void and landed on the other side.

Then he stepped into the air and patrolled the entire opposite bank carefully.

Ten miles, twenty miles, a hundred miles——

After a while, the general of the imperial guards who had turned back finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go ashore!"

At the command, the flag was unfurled.

The treasure boats that were approaching the shore one after another received this order and quickly abandoned their boats and rushed towards the northern bank of the Ji River. Their actions were as smooth as flowing water.

When the generals of the central army saw the situation on the other side of the river, not only did they feel relieved, but their eyes also flashed with relief and contentment.

"My good soldiers have already become elite tigers and wolves!"

They had heard before from the imperial guards who had followed the angels north that the border army of Youzhou, called Zhenliao, marched like tigers and wolves.

It's frightening to watch.

The performance of the men under my command today must be not much worse than that of the Youzhou tigers and wolves.

The generals of the imperial guards thought this in their hearts, and subconsciously placed their own strength and status below that of the Zhen Liao Army.

After all, family members know their own business.

Up to now, the Divine Capital Imperial Guards that once dominated the world and suppressed rebellion have long been nothing more than a facade.

"If it weren't for the continuous training over the past six months..."

Thinking of this, the generals of the Imperial Guards could not help but look at the indifferent figure in front of them with complicated expressions.

There is respect and admiration, but also an uncontrollable chill growing in my heart.

The former is natural because they all know that if it were not for Gongye Jin's careful planning and step-by-step tactics over the past six months, these 100,000 armored cavalry would not have undergone such a transformation.

The latter——

Looking at the thousands of men who died in the Jishui River in just a few moments ahead, many imperial guards sighed in their hearts.

Reason told them that if Gongye Jin had not used the lives of thousands of men as bait, he would not have been able to successfully set up his formation.

They were facing the terrifying Yellow Sky Curtain and the immortal Yellow Sky Warriors, and they were afraid that more people would die.

But emotionally, they still couldn't accept it.

But Gongye Jin was, after all, a general.

Their personal feelings and likes and dislikes have no influence on anything that happens on the battlefield.

Besides, they didn't have time to think about these things at the moment.

As one treasure ship after another docked, the vanguard army that had crossed the river first soon landed on the opposite north bank of the Jishui River, and after forming a battle array, began to advance forward for a distance.

The purpose was to clear the water bank behind them so that the subsequent army could cross the river.

"Good! Great! It's over!"

Seeing this, some generals of the imperial guards could not help but cheer loudly.

Then they kept clamoring and urging the follow-up troops to continue crossing the river.

What these excited imperial guards generals did not notice was that their general did not show any joy at this moment.

Instead, his brows were slightly furrowed, and the faint feeling of uneasiness that had been lingering in his heart became stronger and stronger without him knowing when.

"Something is wrong..."

Gongye Jin, sitting high on a frost-white exotic divine horse, looked deeply at the north bank of the Ji River.

The huge divine thoughts of the Heaven Realm had already poured out towards the other side. However, no matter how he used his magical powers, or even secretly used the method of numerology to divination, he still could not get a clear answer.

In the end, I can only comfort myself by saying "No answer may be the best answer."

After all, he has already sat at the gambling table and placed the chips on it.

Even if I felt a little regretful subconsciously at this moment, I had to continue gambling.

"Cross the river."

A faint military order was issued again.

The rest of the army followed suit.

In an instant, one could see thousands of sails passing by on the Ji River, blocking out the sky and the sun, what a spectacular sight.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon flag raised by the central army, representing the emperor's authority, also moved towards the bank of the Ji River.

Because of a military order from the central army, Cao Wu's battalion, which had been delayed in crossing the river until now, finally had the chance to meet the great general Gongye Jin, and they hurried forward to pay their respects.

"Can you blame me for hindering your chance to make merit?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Hearing Gongye Jin's words, Cao Wu recalled the horrific scene of those Huang Tianli warriors wreaking havoc and wanted to thank Gongye Jin.

But when I think about the thousands of comrades who had just died tragically, it would be a bit inappropriate to thank them at this time.

So he just clasped his fists, bowed, and shook his head.

"I dare not! In the army, military orders come first, and meritorious service comes second. Since the general has issued the order, it is my duty to follow it!"

This statement not only concealed Gongye Jin's preference and protection for him in front of others, but also hinted at Gongye Jin.

That's very beautifully said.

At this moment, Gongye Jin was more satisfied with Cao Wu's cleverness and wisdom.

Gongye Jin nodded to Cao Wu and signaled "follow me". He had already arrived at the bank of the Ji River. Looking at the army that was about to cross the Ji River, his expression finally relaxed a little.

Just as he was about to order the central army to cross the river, a figure running rapidly in the void suddenly shouted loudly with a trembling voice.

"General! Wait a minute to cross the river!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

As the other party uttered the second half of his words, the astonishment instantly turned into shock and fear.

"The Yellow Sky army is already sixty miles behind us. At a glance, there is no telling how many there are!"

"Enemy attack!"

Sixty miles behind!
At first glance, there are so many!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who remained by the Ji River changed color.

However, after Gongye Jin's face changed, he said something subconsciously.

"This is impossible!"

The divine consciousness of the heavenly realm spreads over more than a thousand miles!
Not to mention that he had also used his magical powers to carefully investigate and deduce, during which time he was extremely cautious and asked an Eighth Realm Great Minister who was accompanying him in the battle to keep an eye on it at all times.

In this case, how could the other party sneak up under our noses without making any noise?
Sixty miles!
It seems that the distance is quite far, but in fact, with the cultivation of the warriors of this world, it can be reached in no time!

'unless--'

Gongye Jin suddenly thought of a possibility that he didn't even dare to think about.

As the thought flashed through his mind, Gongye Jin's face turned pale, and he subconsciously crushed the golden horsewhip in his hand into powder.

"Fortunately, we should still be in time..."

Looking at the army about to cross the Jishui River in front of him, Gongye Jin tried to calm his mind.

As long as the army successfully crosses the Jishui River, what does it matter even if those bandit troops come from behind?

He could even rely on the Jishui River as a natural defense line and achieve a great victory before attacking Huang Tian's lair in Jizhou!
Thinking of this, Gongye Jin cheered up a little and was about to order the entire army to speed up and cross the river.

But at this time, Huang Tiandao, who was fighting with the Eight Realms Grand Monk, laughed loudly.

"My plan has worked!"

"Gongye Jin! Today, by the Ji River, is the day you will die!"

Gongye Jin suddenly raised his head and glared at him angrily.

"Shut up, you thief! How dare you speak nonsense and disrupt the morale of our army! You are courting death!"

As he spoke, Gongye Jin suddenly stretched out his hand across the endless space and grabbed the other party.

The timing of this grab was perfect.

It happened that the Grand Minister of the Eight Realms knocked him down to the ninth heaven with one blow, and Gongye Jin's grasp of the void was about to fall into his palm.

Within sight, the leader of Huang Tiandao, who had already suffered the backlash because his Great Law had been broken, was in an extremely miserable state.

Not only was the body broken, but even the secret realm of heaven and man was in ruins.

But even so, he was not afraid at all when he fell into Gongye Jin's hands, and instead looked very proud.

"You, Gongye Jin, can use thousands of imperial guards as bait, so I can naturally use myself as bait."

"Today I will exchange my life for your life, Gongye Jin's, plus 100,000 soldiers from the Yong court! It's worth it! Haha!"

His purpose was clear from beginning to end.

Just to trap Gongye Jin's 100,000 soldiers and soldiers in the Ji River!
And now he succeeded!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gongye Jin had no time to refute and looked suddenly towards the north bank of the Ji River opposite.

Almost at the same time, from the vanguard army on the other side, which had just taken up its position, a roar that shook the world suddenly came.

"Enemy attack!"

"Prepare for war!"

His divine sense finally clearly reflected everything on the other side of the river. Gongye Jin's face was as gloomy as water, but an unprecedented panic flashed in his eyes.

"Mitian——"

The magic is so powerful that it is said to deceive the heavens.

It's no problem to deceive him, a celestial being in the eighth realm.

But... can they deceive those Taiyi Palace Masters of Chaofeng Palace who are hiding in the void at this moment?

Gongye Jin's heart gradually sank to the bottom, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

When all the imperial guards around him looked at him anxiously, he spoke anxiously.

"General! What should we do now?"

"Should we ask the army to retreat?"

Return it?

That means abandoning the vanguard army that has already landed!

After all, a mere 10,000 soldiers could not stop the Huang Tian army that was swarming towards them.

In particular, on the large ochre-yellow banner raised from the rear of the Huangtian army, the four magnificent characters "Ren Gong General" were written upright.

With the activation of magical power, Huang Tiandao became silent in an instant.

But at this moment, no one cared about the demise of an eighth-level celestial being.

Gongye Jin lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and when he looked up, he finally repeated it.

"Cross the river."

If they fail to cross the river, they will surely die when Huang Tian's army arrives from the rear and they are surrounded and blocked from both sides.

Only by crossing the river can we have a chance of survival.

At this moment, the imperial guards understood after a brief thought.

They have no way out.

There is no other way now except to cross the river!
"Unless... they just abandon the 10,000 vanguard soldiers on the other side, and even all the troops that are still crossing the river..."

But does anyone dare to say this?
No one dares!

The only thing we can do now is to seize a glimmer of hope in this dead end situation that is about to be encircled!
Then, just as they made the decision and before they could actually get on the boat to cross the river, it was already too late.

"The enemy's vanguard rushed thirty miles!"

"Twenty miles!"

"Ten miles!"

Within sight, a team of yellow celestial warriors, like a moving high wall, were leading the way and rushing towards them.

At the back, there was a large ochre-yellow banner split into two parts, one with [Yuzhou Qushuai Xu] inscribed on it, and the other with [Yanzhou Qushuai Ding] inscribed on it.

In an instant, the blood drained from everyone's face.

It’s really a dead end!
