Chronicles of Celestial Origins

On Qianyuan City, huge cannons were displayed, and groups of monks patrolled back and forth. Everyone looked solemn, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, creating a very solemn atmosphere.

On top of the city wall, in the spacious hall, Tang Ning was sitting and practicing with his eyes closed. It had been more than half a month since he had evacuated from the Xuri Mountain Spirit Mine. With the fall of Huangya Pavilion and Zhangyuan Pavilion, these days, the entire Qianyuan City Everyone was in panic, as if there was a sharp sword hanging over everyone's heads, and they didn't know when it would fall.

After the Mubei demons occupied Huangya Pavilion and Zhangyuan Pavilion, they did not continue to attack, but stayed there, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up army.

The Qianyuan City garrison didn't even think about recapturing the two Tingcheng camps, because it had no meaning. The two camps were originally established to waste Mubei demon troops and delay time.

What's more, the Mubei demon has occupied that place and built a large formation. With the troops they have on hand, trying to take it back from it will only increase casualties.

"Uncle Tang, we have seen several warships approaching from the southeast. They are suspected to be coalition forces. We need you to confirm." A man came in from the outside and bowed in salute.

It seemed that reinforcements from the rear had arrived. Tangning's expression perked up, and she immediately left the hall and came to the southeast of the city wall. She saw two Heavenly Spirit Ships and several Wind Spirit Ships coming from a distance, with flags flying officially. The words of the first and second columns of the 10th Army of the Qingzhou Allied Forces.

Several warships slowly stopped in front of the city wall. He stepped forward to greet them. He came to one of the Tianling ships and went straight into the inner room. After confirming the identities of the people on board, he led everyone in. Within the city walls.

…

In a blink of an eye, a few days passed by in the blink of an eye. After taking over the defense of the city wall, Tang Ning and others returned to Tianqing Mountain. Before they could rest, they were invited to the meeting hall.

Unexpectedly, in addition to the stewards of the tenth column, there were also members of the Chamber of Commerce. This formation made him slightly stunned.

"Senior Brother Su." Tang Ning saluted him and then sat down on the left side.

The row on the left are all former stewards of the 10th Column, a total of six people.

Only seven of the ten stewards of the tenth column are left. Among them, Meng Ye was killed while guarding Huangyating, Jiang Ziye and Kong Yuanming were injured and were transferred to the rear to recuperate.

There were five members of the Chamber of Commerce opposite, all of whom were stewards of the Fourth Column of the First Legion under the Chamber of Commerce.

"Everyone is here. Let me introduce to you. These are all fellows of the Merchant Alliance. This is Fellow Taoist Wei Yiyuan, who serves as the deputy captain of the fourth column of the First Legion of the Qingzhou United Army Merchant Alliance. This is Guan Ping. Fellow Daoist Ze, this is Fellow Daoist Huang Qian, this is Fellow Daoist Zhang Jian, and this is Fellow Daoist Yu Xian," Su Yuanhua said with a smile.

"Due to the serious casualties suffered when the headquarters was guarding Huangyating, and considering the lack of combat effectiveness and incomplete establishment of the headquarters, Deputy Army Commander Wang Jingxing decided to send Wei Daoyou and others to garrison Taiyuan Valley with the headquarters to contain the enemy."

"Fellow Daoist Wei, from now on we will fight side by side and guard Xuyuan Valley together. I hope we can work together to resist the enemy."

Hearing this, several people in the audience had different expressions, and Tang Ning was slightly shocked. Although the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce has formed an alliance with the Qingzhou Alliance to fight against the Mubei demons, they have always maintained an independent establishment and independent management, and are not under the alliance. The team was like this during the last battle in Qinghai.

I didn't expect that I would be stationed in Xuyuan Valley with them this time. This kind of thing has never happened before.

Wei Yiyuan smiled and replied: "It's easy to say, since it is Senior Wang's order to allocate half of the troops to assist your department in the defense, this department will naturally obey the order. Senior Wang has already said that the defense of Xuyuan Valley is mainly handled by Su Daoyou. , If you have any instructions from fellow Taoist in the future, just say so, and we will do our best."

Everyone could hear the resentment in his words. It seemed that Wang Jingxing had used some means to force them to divide their forces to help defend.

Su Yuanhua didn't take it seriously and smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist Wei is too polite. How dare I order your troops? The defense of Xuyuan Valley cannot be done without your troops. If anything happens, of course we should discuss it together."

"Fellow Daoist Su, when will we set off for Xuyuan Valley?"

"We will set off tomorrow at chen o'clock. What do you think of Wei Daoyou?"

"Okay. Is there anything else? If not, we will go back first." After Wei Yiyuan said that, he stood up and went out, and several other column managers from the chamber of commerce also followed him out of the hall.

Seeing how rude they were, several people in the hall frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. It wasn't until everyone from the Chamber of Commerce left that the deputy captain Zhu Zhen said: "These merchant alliance monks are too arrogant. Please ask them to stay with the defense headquarters." Xuyuangu, it’s like we owe them. The coalition is too lenient with them.”

"Senior Brother Su, how come the people from the Chamber of Commerce are stationed with us? Haven't they always maintained independent formations to fight?" Tang Ning also asked.

"This is what Uncle Wang meant. He was worried that the Chamber of Commerce would maintain an independent organization and fight, and would not be able to work hard. Therefore, they were dispersed to the headquarters and the ninth column. It happened that the headquarters and the ninth column had previously been guarding Huangya Pavilion and Zhangyuan Pavilion. The team suffered a lot of casualties, and adding them in will make up for our casualties. "

Zhang Qian snorted coldly and said: "It should have been like this a long time ago. Why is their Merchant Alliance team so special? They previously guarded Huangya Pavilion and Zhangyuan Pavilion, but they have been hiding in the rear, neither participating in the defense nor leading reinforcements." , I don’t know, I thought they were here to see a show. Now the Mubei demons are about to attack the city. If they don’t make any effort, they should just disband and go back.”

"Looking at Wei Yiyuan's unwillingness, he seems to have suffered a lot. If he really wants to fight against the Mubei demons, I'm afraid I won't be able to count on them."

"The Merchant Alliance didn't want to get involved in the fight against the demons. I heard that the Mubei demons have been wooing them. Even now, they are still in contact with them. It's harder to expect them to contribute than to become immortals."

Several people said one by one that everyone in the coalition was already dissatisfied with the merchant alliance, and seeing his arrogance at this moment suddenly aroused everyone's resentment.

"Anyway, we are in the same boat now. If it hurts our friendship, you should talk less in the future!" Su Yuanhua waved his hand and then talked about the column affairs. After more than half an hour, after the discussion was over, everyone went their separate ways. Leave.

The next day, the column assembled and set off, came to Xuyuan Valley, built a large formation, and stationed here.

…

The moon was rising, the stars were dense, and the Tianling Ship flying the flag of Mubei was speeding in the sky.

"Senior, we are less than three thousand miles away from Xuyuan Valley." The cabin opened, and a man came in from the outside and bowed to the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows.

The leading man pointed to the album on the desk and said: "According to detective reports, there is about a column of enemy troops stationed in Xuyuan Valley. It is not yet known whether the other side has monks at the level of legionnaires stationed there. The headquarters has sent me to capture this camp and strive to capture all the troops. To wipe out this enemy force, you all need to work hard. Later, the third column will surround this valley, and the fourth column will respond in steps from the north and south. "

"When attacking the formation, the teams should not be too closely arranged. First, expose a flaw to lure the defenders inside to attack. Grab a few tongues to find out what is inside."

"If there are fusion monks in the enemy's camp, we will not rush to attack. We will surround him for a few days and wait for the main army to capture Qianyuan City before attacking the camp together. If there are no fusion monks, we will select some personnel at that time. Follow me into the formation to defeat the enemy. Others will surround the formation and try to wipe out all the enemy troops without leaving anyone inside."

"Did you hear that clearly?"

"Yes." Everyone inside responded in unison.

………

In Xuyuan Valley, in the meeting hall, everyone gathered together, whispering to each other, and everyone looked solemn.

"Uncle Su, there are about two columns of enemy troops, and they are less than 500 miles away from our headquarters." A disciple hurried in and bowed in salute.

Su Yuanhua waved his hand, and the man retreated silently.

"If there are two columns of troops, it is very likely that there will be integrated monks on the other side. Fellow Daoist Su, the enemy's army is strong and we cannot defeat it." Wei Yiyuan, deputy captain of the fourth column of the Qingzhou Merchant League's First Legion, said quickly.

"Do you have any suggestions, Fellow Daoist Wei?"

"There is no need to engage in unnecessary resistance. Those of us together may not be their opponents. For now, we can only find a way to retreat safely."

Zhu Zhen said: "The enemy is only five hundred miles away from us. It is too late to retreat now. Without the support of the large formation, it is nothing but fish and meat to be slaughtered. Moreover, the opponent's true nature is unknown, how can anyone retreat before the battle begins? reason."

"Of course I don't mean to evacuate now. I want to seize the opportunity to retreat when the opponent attacks the formation later to avoid further casualties."

Just as Wei Yiyuan finished speaking, another man came in from the outside and saluted: "Uncle Master, just now the disciples reported the news of the enemy's invasion to Qianyuan City through the teleportation array. The camp responded and they also discovered it. If there is any trace of the enemy, we need our headquarters to hold on and keep in touch at all times.”

"Go ahead!"

"Disciple resigns."
