The Demon Soul is Coming

() "It doesn't matter," Liu Sang said, "We took Tianwuling, we bluffed, and didn't let Jin Jian know that a large number of our troops are still behind, and only some elite soldiers are coming. People like him who are good at tricks, He is often suspicious, but Chu Tiancheng is relatively stable. Jin Jian is not sure about our strength, and he is afraid that we will attack him. In addition, Xihai Town is strong and Nanyuan is weak. He will not fight for this moment, and he will retreat. Clear the situation."

Yinyue Xuanxuan said: "So, the key is to take back Tianwu Ridge?"

Liu Sang said indifferently: "If we can't take back Tianwuling, we won't be able to use all the last tricks. We can only flee back to Xudong, wait for the Nanyuan to be destroyed, and then flee to Zuhai with our family to be pirates."

He laughed again: "But don't worry, just as Jin Jian's attack on Chutian was unexpected, Jin Jian didn't count on the other side to take down Tian Centeniling by himself. As soon as we left, we immediately attacked Tian Centu Ridge with our back feet. Now it's time Time to test the strength of my Xuanyu Corps."

***

The building boat docked in the winding river, Liu Sang led the flying cavalry, Zhao Wugeng led the elite soldiers, Yinyue Xuanxuan led the Xuanyu Corps composed of more than 100 women, and quietly sneaked towards Tianwuling. . .

Liu Sang asked Xiaoying to use her Tianying sword to fly him into the night sky to observe the enemy's situation.As he expected, the Xihai Navy on the mountain did not expect the enemy to approach at all. Because it was night, Yingzhao could not be dispatched, and they mainly relied on the watchtowers on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain. Most of them were resting.

Liu Sang quietly landed and informed everyone of the terrain and the location of the camp.

Zhao Wugeng said: "The enemy's problem also exists on our side. They can't use their heroic tactics to patrol at night, but our flying cavalry is also difficult to use. At dawn, although we can dispatch flying cavalry, the enemy is condescending. They can easily spot us, coupled with the sharp arrows of the ballista. Our flying cavalry is difficult to approach, and infantry cannot climb the mountain."

Liu Sang said: "So we will remove all the outposts on this side overnight. The flying cavalry will stay here, and the others will sneak under the stronghold overnight. At dawn tomorrow, we will cooperate with the flying cavalry. Let's attack the enemy's camp at the top of the mountain together. .”

Zhao Wugeng said: "It is definitely not an easy task to remove so many enemy outposts silently."

Liu Sang said: "Aunt Xuan, can it be done?"

Yinyue Xuanxuan said lightly: "Warning and fighting, my Yinyang family has always been inferior to the military family, but killing people invisible is precisely what we are best at."

Zhao Wugeng came to a sudden... No wonder Liu Sang knew that Tianwuling was robbed, and his first reaction was to call these Yinyang family members.

At the moment, Liu Sang took Xiaoying with him, and Yinyue Xuanxuan.Leading eight Xuancai, 36 Caiyi, and 76 Toad Palace disciples, they quietly approached Tianwuling.Toad Palace is one of the three sects of the Yin Yang family. In the battles with Jinwu Valley and Xingmen, they have already developed the habit of being cautious and careful at all times.Coupled with the curse seal of the Yinyang family, no swords, guns, swords or halberds are used, and the spell can be cast secretly just from a distance, killing people invisible and invisible, step by step, all the bright and dark whistles are pulled out, and no one is sent out. Little voice.

An elite soldier composed of more than 100 Yin-Yang family elites is no different from an invisible killer group.

And Liu Sang was even more daring. Relying on Xiaoying's flying sword and his amazing perception, he sneaked into the camp and secretly destroyed the ballista built on the mountain. These ballistas can fire dozens of shots at a time Sharp arrows, and extremely powerful, have always been the most troublesome battlefield weapons for flying knights.Because Xiaomei had taught him some knowledge related to mechanism techniques before, and Xiaoying's Sky Cherry Sword was indeed extremely sharp, so he didn't need to destroy the entire ballista, but just secretly destroyed the springs and Noose, from the outside, these ballistas are still intact.

After getting rid of the outposts, the Xuanyu Corps retreated down the mountain and joined the flying cavalry, while Zhao Wugeng and Wu Yigang led the troops up the mountain quietly and hid in the mountainside.

The sky was bright, and the flying cavalry set off to attack the top of the mountain.It wasn't until this time that someone on the enemy side realized that something was wrong. Many people hadn't woken up yet, shouting and rushing to fight, trying to use the ballista to shoot the heroic move that came flying in groups, but found that the ballista was clearly intact , and for some unknown reason, none of them could be used. In desperation, it was too late to send out flying cavalry in the same way.

More than 100 Xuanyu female soldiers, carried by flying cavalry, shot sharp arrows from a high place, and chanted incantations in unison. Hundreds of sharp arrows flew towards the camp, and the first to attack was the enemy. Fang's heroic moves and charms exploded one after another, the enemy's heroic moves were either killed or injured, and the rest fled in shock.The enemy's heroic moves were exhausted, the ballista was useless, and there was a mess in the panic. Xu Dong's elite soldiers on the mountainside took advantage of this to attack the mountain, and the battle turned out to be one-sided.

During the scuffle, Liu Sang, who was riding a hero, saw an enemy general standing in the village, his face was full of fright and anger, he shouted loudly, and ordered to resist, knowing that he was probably the enemy general, he immediately said: "Xiaoying , and killed that man."

Xiao Ying flew in the air, holding the Sky Cherry Sword high, a mysterious airflow flowed into her sword, she swung the sword, a cloud of black shooting stars rushed towards the enemy general unstoppably, the enemy general and several personal guards beside him He is also a master, and when he found an amazing sword energy rushing, he was shocked and used his kung fu to block it.

The black vortex, like a wave, engulfed them all at once, leaving only a pile of minced meat.

Liu Sang thought, the power of Xiaoying's sword, even sister Yue's five-colored star orchid butterfly dance technique, might not be able to block it.

The surviving Nanyuan army was shocked. Their generals were under heavy protection, but they were dealt with by a mysterious enemy in the distance. Such an astonishing sword aura made everyone's hearts tremble, and the main general was dead. , No one gave orders, and the army was defeated like a mountain, and it was impossible to organize an effective combat force.

***

The sky was completely bright, and Xu Dongjun cleared up the ruins and cleaned the battlefield.

Liu Sang stood on a high place, looking at the vast land in the distance.

Wu Yigang threw an unlucky ghost's thigh that was broken by the explosion spell of the Xuanyu female soldier down the mountain, and laughed loudly: "I have fought many battles, but I have never fought so happily. When I came here, I obviously felt that this battle was not easy to fight, so how could it be solved all at once?"

Liu Sang smiled, there are more than 100 elites of the Yin Yang family who are proficient in spells, plus Xiaoying's Tianying Sword whose power is almost comparable to that of the great master, and two master-level masters Zhao Wugeng and Yinyue Xuanxuan. Experts, and the enemy did not expect a strong enemy approaching at all, the battle has already decided victory or defeat from the very beginning.

But the battlefield is like this. When the situation is good, it is like water pushing a boat, and when the situation is bad, there is no hope.If the opponent had known that there was an enemy attack, he would have strictly guarded against it from the very beginning, relying on the danger of the high mountain.No matter how many ballistas were built, it would be impossible for their flying cavalry to get close, and no matter how fine the elite soldiers were, they would die if they couldn't even attack the mountainside.

This is also when Liu Bang first won the world.Dafeng group officials believed that the main reason for Zhang Liang's greatest contribution was that it was Han Xin who led the troops to fight.It is Xiao He who guarantees the logistics, but Zhang Liang's strategy affects the entire strategy. The so-called strategy is to plan and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away.A mediocre person can also become a famous general. When the situation is weak, a famous general like Xiang Yu can only die in the end.

Let Zhao Wugeng, Yinyue Xuanxuan, and Wu Yigang take care of the rest, and Liu Sang took Xiaoying to sleep.

Cough, it's not that he wants to sleep with the baby.It was Xiaoying who insisted on pestering him.

He is not a young girl.

Xia Yingchen is not here, what Xiaoying likes most is to follow him. <Catch one to sleep with him, but this is in the army. Whether the general himself leads by example and is strict with himself will affect the morale of the entire army. If everyone knows that the general is ostentatious in the army, the soldiers below Where is there any fighting spirit?What's more, he is both a military adviser and a son-in-law, if all kinds of rumors spread in the army, the influence will be even worse.

Of course, what was said to arrest Daiyu and the others to sleep with them, just thinking about it casually, would not have really done it in the first place, if they wanted to be arrested before, why wait until now?

He is a high-spirited and honest gentleman... Well, it has always been like this.

Xiaoying was originally his adopted daughter, and she was young and ignorant, coupled with the power of her sword last night, not to mention frightened the enemy, even his own people were shocked. Now everyone knows that this little baby The girl is amazing, even though it was inappropriate to bring such a little girl into the army, no one dares to gossip at this moment. <, when I saw the baby in the morning, I trembled suddenly.

Tianwu Ridge was not very suitable for garrisoning troops in the first place, and the barracks became incomplete during the battle. Finally, a clean room was built. Liu Sang took Xiaoying to live in, and when Xiaoying fell asleep, he built it for her. After that, he took out the star map, recited the Xinxing mantra, entered the star realm, and saw the girl who looked exactly like Xiaoying but had a distinct personality.

The dark goddess looked at him: "Daddy, how is the war going?"

Liu Sang said: "Tianwuling has been captured."

The dark goddess said: "As expected of Daddy."

Liu Sang said: "If you hadn't notified me in time, even I wouldn't be able to change so quickly." Then he said: "You let the people from the Dark Alliance help me create some rumors, and say that I, Xu Dong, captured Tianwu Ridge, At this moment, there are [-] troops stationed at Tian Centurion Ridge."

The dark goddess said: "Daddy wants Jin Jian to retreat by himself?"

Liu Sang said: "Exactly."

The dark goddess smiled and said, "I have helped Daddy so much, how can Daddy thank me?"

Liu Sang coughed dryly: "How do you want me to thank you?"

The Dark Lady closed her eyes and pursed her lips.

Hey, you are my daughter, daughter.

It's really strange to see a naked girl with her eyes closed and waiting for a kiss.In desperation, Liu Sang floated forward, hugged her lightly, but kissed her on the forehead.

"Daddy," the dark goddess put her arms around him and said in a low voice, "You don't have to thank me, Daddy just needs to come in and see me often."

Liu Sang said: "Yes, I will."

***

The news that Tianwuling was captured by Xu Dong quickly spread. Just as Liu Sang thought, Jin Jian didn't know how many troops were stationed on Tianwuling. Temporarily retreat.

Liu Sang, on the other hand, asked for help from the Chu Clan on the grounds that he suffered heavy losses during the robbing of Tianwuling. The Chu Clan did not know that Xu Dong's surprise attack was the main cause. Tragic is a matter of course.In fact, when Wuling fell that day and the news of Chu Tianpin's murder reached Chu Tiancheng's ears, Chu Tiancheng turned pale with shock and was already planning to retreat. Tianwuling was snatched back by Xu Dongjun, and the news that Jin Jian was forced to withdraw his troops turned shock into joy.

And Jin Jian also quickly figured out that there are actually limited troops on Tianwuling. If he ignored Tianwuling and attacked Wu Hanjiang, he might have scared Chu Tiancheng away, but he regretted it.At this moment, it was too late, Chu Yugong had sent He Xiang to lead the army to support Tianwuling.

He Xiang looks extremely burly.With a Chinese face, he was relatively silent. He had already heard that Liu Sang had spoken in front of Chu Yugong, persuading Chu Yugong to use him to replace Chu Tian.Naturally, he has a good impression of this military adviser general of Ningyun City.

When the two soldiers met, Liu Sang poured bitter water on him.It is said that Xu Dong lost tens of thousands of soldiers in order to capture Tianwuling, and his sacrifice was so tragic.He Xiang and his generals looked around and saw that there were arrow holes and gun marks everywhere in Tianwu Ridge, and that there were batches of wounded people being transported away by ships in Houling. They didn't know that these battle marks were made after the fact. "It's also mostly camouflage.Zhao Wugeng, Wu Yigang, and Yinyue Xuanxuan had already led the flying cavalry, elite soldiers, and Xuanyu corps to retreat, but Nangong Kuiyuan led 6000 people to make up for it. They only thought that Xu Dong had really lost his upper hand in order to capture Tianwuling. Thousands of troops, after a fierce battle.Only this man and horse are left.

Considering that if Tianwuling fell into the hands of the Xihai Navy, the Nanyuan Army would be retreating steadily at this moment, so he was very grateful, and at the same time began to truly believe in Xu Dong's sincerity in cooperating with Nanyuan.

Just as Liu Sang expected, if the Wuhan River and Tianwuling were firmly guarded, Jin Jian would not be able to penetrate into the depths of Nanyuan at once. However, in the constant offensive and defensive battles, the Western Navy is also constantly losing troops, and has lost the morale it had at the beginning. <It’s already warm, the flowers are already blooming, it’s raining everywhere, and the ground is full of mud puddles.

That day, He Xiang sent someone to invite Liu Sang, and Liu Sang entered the hall, He Xiang said: "Wu Hanjiang can't hold it anymore."

Liu Sang nodded. It was inevitable that Wu Hanjiang would fall sooner or later.However, because the Wuhan River and the Tianwuling formed corners of each other, Jin Jian was still unable to let go and attack. He could only wear down Chu Tiancheng's army in constant tug-of-war, killing one thousand enemies and injuring himself by eight hundred. Even in the water battle, the warships of both sides lost a lot.

Now, even if the Wuhan River falls into the hands of the West Navy and Jin Jian occupies the upper reaches of the Zhijiang River, with the current ships, morale, and strength of the West Navy, coupled with the constant deployment of troops by the Chu Clan in the rear, the West Navy will no longer be able to make a breakthrough in one fell swoop. The defense line of Nanyuan plans to directly attack Youyi City. <Ji's Yin and rain are a test for the generals of both sides, but for Zhiyu Gong, it is already difficult to ride a tiger at this moment. Geographically speaking, Nanyuan is what he is bound to win, but in terms of momentum, Zhiyu The Duke's ambition is well known to everyone, and he has long wanted to dominate Hezhou. If he loses his soldiers and generals, but fails to capture Nanyuan in the end, his reputation will naturally plummet. Therefore, no matter how bad this battle has become Fight, Zhiyu Gong still has to fight.

Since Chu Tiancheng had already planned to give up Wu Hanjiang, or maybe it was impossible to give up if he wanted to, Tianwuling naturally became no longer important.Liu Sang said, "Where are we going to retreat?"

He Xiang pointed to the map and said: "A military order has come, let our army retreat steadily until Jiangjing County, and join the army."

Liu Sang said: "I will retreat with your army."

Immediately, they withdrew from Tianwu Mountain and retreated to Jiangjing County.

***

When he came to Jiangjing County, Chu Tiancheng greeted him personally.

Liu Sang and Chu Tiancheng met, and they were polite.Chu Tiancheng said: "This time, we are lucky to have a military division to help us take back Tianwu Ridge, otherwise our army will be in danger."

Liu Sang sighed: "After the battle of Tianwu Ridge, I realized that the art of war and actual combat are completely different. Although I knew that the terrain of Tianwu Ridge was dangerous, I thought that with a large number of soldiers, I could easily conquer it. I didn't expect that most of them would be killed or injured. The 2 horses my wife gave me died so little that I finally captured Tianwu Ridge, and I don’t know how to meet my lady when I go back this time.”

Chu Tiancheng thought nonsense, Tianwuling is an evil mountain, and there are [-] enemy troops on the mountain. If you can take it by force, it is already good.However, the more Xu Dong's troops are consumed, the Chu Clan has only advantages and no disadvantages. The overall military strength of the Xia family in Ningyun City is limited, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are lost at once, and it will be difficult to cause any waves in the future. It wasn't that the Xihai Navy was still there, and the dangers of Nanyuan were still unpredictable, he would laugh out loud even in his dreams.

At the moment, he said hypocritically: "If it weren't for the military division's rapid dispatch of troops, our army would have been defeated by thousands of miles this time. Our army was defeated and Xu Dong would not be able to protect him. The military division has only made great achievements. How could the princess blame the military division? If you want to blame it, you can blame my third brother. He is incompetent, how can he bother the military division if he loses Tian Centen Ridge?"

Liu Sang thought to himself that your third younger brother was not only incompetent, but also stupid. Guarding the dangerous place like Tianwuling, as the chief general, he dared to go down the mountain to enjoy the blessings. Being trapped was not trying to break out of the siege and return to the mountain, but scared the soldiers on the mountain. It would be a fool to give up the geographical advantage and go down the mountain to rescue him.

If it weren't for Chu Tianpin being too stupid, he would have been able to relax a lot, not to mention helping the Chu Clan guard Tianwu Ridge for a month.

They rode their horses across the street, dismounted and entered the government office, where several generals and staff were waiting.Chu Tiancheng introduced them one by one, and when he introduced one of them, he said: "This Mr. Qiu, the military division should have met in Youyi City, and I heard that the two had argued."

Qiu Danyang cupped his hands and said: "If there is something offended today, please don't blame the son-in-law."

Liu Sang returned the courtesy and said: "At that time, each was the master, but now we are fighting the enemy together, so we should work together."

Chu Tiancheng praised: "Mr. Qiu is indeed a talent. This time he fought against Jin Jian. Mr. Qiu has seen through the opponent's tricks many times, so we can defend until now. Mr. Zhiyu has such talents but does not know how to use them. Let Mr. Jin Jian offend him. It's a big loss for him."

Qiu Danyang humbled himself a bit.
