In the Heavens

Against the fierce cold wind, Lintao City, which used to be full of traffic and prosperous in the past, now only has a commotion.

Since the fall of Hanyang County, several counties sandwiched in the middle have not been able to hold on for a few days, and they have changed hands one after another, directly pushing Lintao to the forefront.

Whether Lintao can hold on or not is not only related to the rise and fall of the Kou family, but also to the outcome of this Liangzhou hegemony battle.

The head of the Kou family, who had just reached an agreement with the various families, returned to his lair, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath, and the enemy had already attacked the city.

"How come the enemy is so fast? Didn't they have to strengthen their alert? Even if every county held the enemy for a day, the enemy would not let the enemy touch us so quickly!"

Kou Tianci asked almost roaringly.

As one of the two great families in Liangzhou, the Kou family's heritage is naturally not bad. But it will take time to transform the background into strength.

Nearly one-third of the troops recruited in the early stage were buried in Hanyang County. In order to keep the nest, the Kou family has withdrawn the troops in the alliance.

As one of the two giants of the alliance, in order to maintain their influence, there are their people in all the coalition forces.

If you win and **** the spoils, this arrangement is undoubtedly the best. But now we have to send troops back to the defense nest, and the advantage has turned into a disadvantage.

It also takes time to deploy troops, and the gap between the army and the army is huge.

An elite army composed entirely of warriors can travel hundreds of miles a day; and an army that is temporarily assembled, even if the baggage is abandoned, can travel at most seventy or eighty miles a day.

Can't go any faster, no one will be there if you wait any longer. Human physical strength is limited, continuous high-intensity marches will be abolished without waiting for the battlefield.

Greeting the old man's spittle stars, the middle-aged general in armor replied bravely: "Patriarch, the enemy is going downstream. There is little resistance in the counties along the way, so..."

I can't explain it anymore, and if I go on, I accuse the old man of blind commanding.

The biggest reason why the resistance of the counties along the way was weak was that the forces of the Kou family's direct line were drawn back, and all that was left were cannon fodder.

Knowing that he has become cannon fodder, and wanting to count on others to sacrifice his life, it is obviously unreliable. In addition, there are people who are loyal to Da Zhou in the city to cooperate, which weakens the resistance.

Having never suffered from the loss of righteousness, the Kou family naturally did not know the importance of righteousness, and even now they did not realize the meaning of the word "big week".

The whole world is against thieves, which does not mean that there will be no loyal ministers in the ten thousand years of the Great Zhou. The most important thing is: this is the best reason for everyone to defect to the past.

After a moment of pause, Kou Tianci scolded sharply: "Enough! I don't want to hear any explanation. Now I just need an answer: Can you defend Lintao City?"

A group of generals who chased ducks onto the shelves lowered their heads one after another. In normal times, it’s okay to brag. Now, when life and death are at stake, no one dares to make random promises.

Even if they have experience in the army, the highest rank of the front-line generals is only the first-level lieutenant, and the positions above are monopolized by the generals.

Official positions such as county commanders and soldiers and cadres seem to be military positions, but in fact there is no chance to directly command the troops.

Da Zhou loosened restrictions on officials, but it only took more than a year. Unless it is a genius, who has not grown up so quickly.

Except for the generals in the counter-insurgency army, and the children of all the princes, no one has ever been in contact with the army.

With the incomplete military books in the Kou family's collection, it is really not something that ordinary people can roar to command hundreds of thousands of rabble to fight.

Realizing that it was not good, the old man in purple clothed the next head to persuade him: "Brother, at this stage, let's ask our ancestors to take action!

In the previous battle of Hanyang, we had already lost our troops and lost our generals. If they continue to fight recklessly with the enemy, even if they defend Lintao, they will suffer heavy losses.

If the damage to the army is too serious, then we and the Cui family will compete for Liangzhou, and I am afraid that we will be at a disadvantage.

Instead of this, it is better to ask our ancestors to take action, first take down the head of the enemy, incorporate this elite, and increase our strength. "

Looking at the younger brother of a fellow mother, Kou Tianci sighed: "Third brother, how can things be so simple.

High-level warriors do not directly participate in the war, and it is also a tacit understanding between various forces. If we break the tacit understanding first, the enemy is bound to take revenge.

Don't you think that there is no Jindan warrior in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion?

Even if the ancestors can handle it, what about the Li family in Suizhou? If they intervene, I'm afraid..."

In fact, Kou Tianci was more worried that his ancestor would fail when he made a move, compared to the battle between high-level warriors.

The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Suizhou Li Clan were thousands of miles away, and they were not separated by major forces, so it was not easy for them to seek revenge.

As long as you don't get things done, there is room for manoeuvre. The big forces in the south will not allow them to act recklessly.

Threats that are close at hand are different. Not to mention Jindan warriors, even Yuanshen warriors have been killed by the army.

For example: Da Zhou's Demon Suppression Army has killed a demon at the primordial level more than once.

Although the Dingyuan Army is not so powerful, it also has a record of killing Jindan warriors. The enemy on the opposite side had already shown good combat effectiveness. If the ancestors had an accident, the Kou family's sky would really collapse.

After glancing at the disappointed crowd, Kou Tianci said helplessly, "Forget it, this matter has to be reported to the ancestors before making a decision.

Third brother, contact the Cui family first, and ask the ancestors of the Cui family to help at all costs.

Liangzhou is not our family's Liangzhou. Tell the Cui family not to blame us if they sit idly by..."

As soon as the words landed, Kou Tianci felt a lot lonely. Endless ambition, he encountered a setback just after taking a small step, which gave him a clearer understanding of his own strength.

…

Outside the city of Lintao, Li Mu was listening to the witch playing the piano, without the slightest nervousness before the battle.

Confidence came out of the game, and the victories in the past few days made him realize that this is a rotten world.

There is no worst here, only worse. It doesn't need to be great, as long as it's not that bad, it can be a winner.

He didn't know how to complain about the family alliance. Perhaps because they were worried about the loyalty of the imperial troops and horses, these troops were scattered and mixed with new recruits.

What is the difference between this operation and the combination of one **** with nine pits?

The most important thing is that God itself is not qualified. How can such a team maintain its combat effectiveness?

The private armies of each family are good, but it's okay for these guys to participate in the disputes of the rivers and lakes, and to put them on the battlefield is to go to the wrong theater.

The most important thing for the army is to cooperate and understand the enemy. The main reason to kill the enemy is to rely on the military formation to exert its power, not just the heroic performance of individual soldiers.

After killing the rookie all the way, Li Mu finally understood why his father came to the conclusion that the world must belong to five surnames and seven clans.

The tens of thousands of troops who have touched the threshold of the elite can all sweep the rookies all the way, so what about the army composed of warriors above innate?

It doesn't need too much, even if only three thousand people are enough to sweep the entire Liangzhou. Innate as soldiers, heaven and man as warriors, and Jindan as generals, after the formation of such an army, Yuanshen warriors have to turn around.

Just think about it. Li Mu's subordinates could not even gather three hundred innate talents, and they dreamed of forming such an army.

"The visitor is a guest. Since the two of you are here, why not sit down and have a drink?"

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly. After realizing the danger, the clever witch quickly moved closer to Li Mu.

As a smart person, she knew very well that the one who could treat Li Mu equally must be the powerhouse at the Jindan level. Hiding and not showing up, it is obviously an enemy but not a friend. With such a master fighting, the light aftermath can take her away.

Deep down, she had already greeted Li Mu's family. It's so dangerous, I don't know how to notify her in advance.

It's just that everything has been said now, and running away immediately may become the first target of the enemy's attack. Right now, he can only hide in front of Li Mu, hoping that this guy will take care of one or two during the fight.

Grandmaster Jin Dan also wanted to save face. Since he was called out of his whereabouts and lost the opportunity to attack, the two of them were free and easy and appeared directly on the field.

"I didn't expect that Liangzhou Jiedushi was actually a Jindan martial artist, but you shouldn't lead us here. If you are in the military camp, even if we join forces, we won't be able to take you down!"

From the solemn expression, it can be seen that the old man is not at peace. Jindan warriors rarely set foot in the mundane, and once they get involved, they will be earth-shattering.

He didn't believe that Li Mu made a breakthrough in his tenure, and directly mistakenly thought it was an old monster acting under the guise of a junior.

Ignoring the fuss of the two, Li Mu said lightly, "But I'm still here!"

"I'm looking for talent now. If the two of you are willing to join us, your benefits will definitely be indispensable."

Recruitment, just such a carefree solicitation. Such a divine operation directly stunned the witch behind him. Suddenly she realized that she didn't know the man in front of her at all.

Using a blank check to pull a powerful enemy into the group is not something that ordinary people can do, but Li Mu has done a good job.

It seems to be saying: I am willing to recruit, that is to look down on you, and those who know the current affairs should hurry up and join us!

The two people who were planning to bow first and then soldiers, were instantly enraged by Li Mu, and they scolded almost in unison, "Don't be mad!"

Now that they have torn their skin, the two of them are no longer polite, and they have already taken the lead to Li Mu while they are talking.

Just a strange scene appeared, just when the two were about to hit Li Mu, there was still Li Mu on the field.

"Are you looking for me?"

It was as if the voice of a ghost sounded behind him, and the two of them fell into an ice cave.

Turning to look at Li Mu who was looking at them, and the witch who was moved together, he said incredulously: "Void Move, you are not a Jindan warrior!"

Void movement is one of the standard features of Yuanshen powerhouses. No matter how fast Jindan warriors are, it is impossible to leave no trace at all.

Being misunderstood by the enemy, Li Mu was too lazy to explain. If he were in other places, he would naturally not be able to move in the void with his cultivation, but unfortunately this is the Sishui River.

With the authority of heaven and earth, the Surabaya River is his home. In one's own territory, it is not easy to block the fluctuation of one's own movement.

If he didn't have full confidence, Li Mu would not bring the witch as bait. Although he didn't have too deep feelings, he had to admit that he enjoyed the witch's service very much.

Fortunately, these two were on the boat. If they fell into the water, then they would be able to truly appreciate what heaven and earth were against them.
