Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The sun was shining brightly and the sky was refreshing. In the Lezi cabin, Legion Inspector Duan Yanping was sitting upright. Tang Ning, Inspector Fang Jing, Deputy Captain Wang Qi, and several key stewards from the first and second columns were all listening below. .

"The current location of the headquarters is less than 100,000 miles away from Changshan County. After entering Changshan County, the headquarters still operates in three directions. The first column attacks from the left side, Balanting. The third column attacks from the right side, Zhangwan Pavilion. "I will lead the second column to attack Wuyan Pavilion from the center and go straight to Tongyuan City," Duan Yanping said, pointing to the thin lines on the album on the desk.

"The Mubei demons don't have many troops deployed in Tongyuan City. They only have a few regiments deployed in frontline Tingcheng. With the troops we have on hand, taking Tongyuan City is not a problem at all. The only thing we worry about is Mubei. Demonic follow-up troop support.”

"When you lead the attack, you need to advance carefully to avoid falling into the enemy's trap. Every time you reach Tingcheng, you must send someone to inform me immediately, and then attack the next enemy camp."

"Yes." Several people responded one after another.

The warship passed through the clouds and fog, heading north, and soon crossed the border of Changshan County. Tang Ning led the third column away from the main force, turned to the right, and headed towards Zhangwan Pavilion.

…

"There are ten wings under this headquarters. After integration, seven wings are already at full strength. As for the eighth, ninth, and tenth wings, the number of personnel is less than half of the integrated wing."

"The warships from various ministries have been gathered together to ensure the cost of the five regiments, and they have been distributed to the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth regiments respectively. The other regiments total only two One Wind Spirit Ship, ten Xuanling Ships and fifty Yuanling Ships.”

"Let the full warship fleet take the lead, and the other fleets will organize elite teams to respond at any time."

…

In the cabin of Tianling Ship, Tang Ning, Fang Jing, Wang Qi and other stewards were discussing the upcoming battle deployment. A man strode in from outside and bowed in salute: "Uncle Tang, according to my disciples' information, the enemy troops are in Zhangwan. The pavilion has deployed two lines of defense. There are a large number of cannons on the outer walls of the city, and there are about two regiments of troops guarding it. There is also a sixth-level low-grade formation built inside that integrates offense and defense. "

"Besides Zhangwan Pavilion, are there any other camps near the enemy?"

"No, all enemy forces are concentrated in Zhangwan Pavilion."

"How many troops are there in total?"

"This...disciple doesn't know."

"Okay, you go ahead!"

The man retreated.

"I judge that the enemy's strength in Zhangwanting will not exceed half a column. Let the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th regiments go ahead and seize the outer defense line of Tingcheng, and then encircle the central formation. Let’s fight each other again.”

………

Many warships lined up in an array and meandered forward. After Tang Ning gave the order, the four regiments he belonged to immediately changed their array and accelerated forward.

As night falls, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Most of the column has approached Zhangwanting City, less than three hundred miles away. The first, second, third and fourth regiments have already formed a double-team and are heading towards the city pavilion. , with a loud bang, the battle started immediately, the two sides attacked each other with shells, and airflow clouds rose into the air.

On the deck of the column's Tianling Ship, Tang Ning and a group of column stewards looked towards the direction of Ting City. As time passed, the battle ahead became more intense. The enemy troops defending the city sent out many monsters, all of which were undead monster corpses. They were very powerful. The self-healing power caused a lot of trouble to the four or three siege regiments, and hundreds of monster corpses blocked the offensive of the three regiments.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, the enemy's demonic corpses are very powerful in combat. They cannot be so aggressive as it will only increase casualties. Look, the offensive of the four regiments in front has obviously slowed down." Fang Jing said.

Wang Qi said: "The demonic corpses are indeed difficult to deal with. Their powerful self-healing power makes them fearless of warship cannonballs. Elite teams must be dispatched to attack and kill the demonic corpses accurately."

"Fellow Daoist Fang, I would like to ask you to lead our elite team to stop the enemy's demonic corpses."

"Okay." Fang Jing nodded, and quickly selected an elite team of more than a hundred people from each alliance and headed towards Tingcheng.

With Fang Jing and others joining in, the situation was immediately reversed. The pressure on the previous regiments was suddenly reduced, and their morale was great. As the troops advanced, the cannons on the city walls were destroyed one by one, and the enemy troops blew the retreat horn. In an instant, It's like being defeated.

The coalition forces pursued them all the way. When Tang Ning and others entered the city walls, the pursuit team also returned one after another. In the distance, several escaping lights shot towards them.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, thank you for your hard work. How are you? Are you not injured?" Tangning walked up to him and asked when she saw blood on his body.

"It's okay, it's just blood spray from a demon beast in its transformation stage. I led the team to pursue it for hundreds of miles. Seeing the enemy's internal support arriving, I stopped the attack and led my troops back."

"Have all the casualties been counted?"

"Senior, we have lost fifteen Yuanling ships and two Xuanling ships, with 219 casualties, including 89 dead and missing, and 130 injured." The captain of the first regiment spoke. replied.

After his words fell, the captain of the second regiment immediately said: "This headquarters lost thirteen Yuanling ships, one Xuanling ship, one hundred and eighty-nine casualties, seventy-eight dead and missing, and one hundred and ten injured. one person."

…

Each wing reported casualties one after another. Each wing lost about 15% of its warships, less than 10% of the dead, and just over 10% of the injured.

Generally speaking, this casualty ratio is still acceptable. After all, it has absolute advantages in military strength and combat power.

"Plateau." After listening to the reports from various departments, Tang Ning called out.

"Disciple is here." Gao Yuan responded.

"Instructions are given to the directly affiliated units to leave two brigades responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and to conduct a detailed search for the missing personnel of the headquarters."

"Yes." Gao Yuan took the order and left.

"The enemy has hidden in the formation inside Tingcheng. We need to take advantage of the situation to pursue it without delaying the time. The team continues to advance towards the formation. We order the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth regiments to be the vanguard and attack the enemy first. The army is surrounded."

…

Most of the column did not stay much, leaving only the two brigades of the directly affiliated regiment to clean up the outer battlefield and headed towards the enemy camp.

When the column arrived at the location of the enemy's main formation, the Mubei demon was nowhere to be seen. The enemy troops inside had already fled, leaving only an empty camp, in which the rooms, palaces and formations were still there. exist.

"I didn't expect the enemy troops to flee so fast. I thought they would resist for a while." Looking at the empty camp in front of her, Tang Ning said with a smile.

"The Mubei demons don't have many troops in Tongyuan City. They can't wait for the reinforcements from the rear, so naturally they don't want to fight against the trapped beasts." Fang Jing said: "It would be best to capture Zhangwan Pavilion without any bloodshed. ”

Wang Qi answered: "Since the enemy has abandoned Zhangwan Pavilion, should we send someone to report to Senior Duan?"

Tang Ning glanced at him. Originally, he was planning to finish all the matters, delay for a day, and then report to Duan Yanping. The enemy troops in Zhangwan Pavilion fled without a fight. They captured Zhangwan Pavilion so successfully, and there was no guarantee that Duan Yanping would not be able to do so. They will be transferred to attack Wuyanting, especially if the second column is not going well and has insufficient troops.

After delaying for a day and reporting on the battle situation, I think the battle over there is almost over.

He doesn't want to be like a firefighter, wiping everyone else's butts everywhere. But I didn't expect Wang Qi to bring it up so quickly and in front of so many people.

"Then let Fellow Daoist Wang make a trip on behalf of our headquarters! Ask Senior Duan whether our headquarters should stay put or continue moving forward." With so many people watching, Tangning naturally would not refuse the proposal, otherwise the news would reach Duan Yanping's ears. The impact on yourself is not very good.

Even with Nangong Muxue's relationship, Duan Yanping would not be angry with him for such a trivial matter, but after all, he was his direct boss, and it would be uncomfortable for anyone to throw a little shoe at him in the future.

"Okay." Wang Qi nodded, said a few more insignificant words, and then left the column.

"Fellow Daoist Wang is quite positive." It wasn't until he left that Fang Jing said with a half-smile.

"They are both monks from the Jiang family, so they are naturally close to each other. I heard that Senior Duan is also Daoist Fellow Wang's direct superior within the Jiang family." Tang Ning said calmly.

"No wonder he was so active in announcing the good news to Senior Duan."

"Now that Fellow Daoist Wang is gone, let's wait for Senior Duan's order! All ministries will be stationed here first."

"The enemy has not been here for a long time. Do you want to lead some elite personnel to pursue it?"

"Forget it, don't chase after the enemy. Senior Duan gave us the order to capture Zhangwan Pavilion. Since the enemy is far away, there is no need for us to add unnecessary complications and unnecessary casualties. Let's wait for Senior Duan's next instruction!"

Everyone settled down.
