Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 779: The logic of war in the world of gods

Chapter 779 The logic of war in the world of gods

Although on the whole, Zhao Changhe is probably her **** in Ye Wuming.

But regarding this matter alone, she, Ye Wuming, was actually one of Zhao Changhe's chess players. Taking advantage of her opposition to Jiuyou, she played the chess game willingly and with great care.

Every time the blind man thought about this, he felt an indescribable strange feeling. It seemed that he could see a man striding towards her in the wind, frost, snow and rain, trying to pull her down from the high clouds and pin her down to him. Under the throne.

Xia Longyuan and the others did not do it, but he is doing it.

However, even though he knew that there were even more dirty parts in his thoughts, the blind man still wanted to make this move, and looked at his performance with great expectation, hoping that he would not fall behind.

This feels really weird.

On Zhao Changhe's side, the decisive battle is actually about to begin. This is indeed not a war that drags on for a long time. Although the scale is burning all over the world, no matter the victory or defeat, no matter which side the war is on, it will end quickly.

There are many things to say. In fact, Huangfu Qing and Zhao Changhe had been marching for many days at this time. Due to the fast speed of the Qingqi Long Drive, they had already bypassed the Modong Grassland Corridor and entered the Mobei Plain.

Zhao Changhe did not dare to release his overlooking eye for remote sensing, and Timur Bo'e and others over there also did not dare to expand their consciousness randomly. Now no one is quite sure about the other party's specific movements. But it gave Zhao Changhe more advantages. The eagle master sent by Sisi could already see the shadows of mountains in the distance, and a corner of the holy mountain on the grassland had been revealed.

On the other hand, the eagles on Timur's side... were almost all roasted.

Including the Immortal God... With his level of cultivation that surpasses everyone else, he can completely see Zhao Changhe's side, but Zhao Changhe cannot see his situation. But Zhao Changhe, Zhuque Yue Hongling, never felt the feeling of being spied on, which meant that even the Immortal God had no spiritual sense to spy on them.

According to the information conveyed by Sanniang through the secret method of the Four Symbols Sect, the Immortal God is just using a weaker soul to contain her - judging from this, the only conclusion that can be drawn is the injury of the Immortal God It has not happened yet, and they are worried about repeating the mistakes of the overseas war, and dare not randomly come to their place where there is a group of Yujing.

That's right, everyone has to rush to the Northern Expedition because of this.

Theoretically, Timur is blind at this moment and cannot grasp the movements of our army at all.

"However, this is misleading." As early as a few days ago when they were galloping on the grassland, Huangfu Qing had already made this conclusion to Zhao Changhe: "The collision between Timur and you that day was an intentional one. Misleading.”

"This is their home field. Even all the grassland ministries have been evacuated, and the water sources are all polluted. It is impossible for them to have no arrangement here. According to the attributes of the Immortal God, he should be the **** of nature. He is similar to our five elements. What we are looking for Every water source and even every blade of grass may be the eyes and ears of the Immortal God, which means they are always aware of our situation."

Huangfu's love these days has increasingly demonstrated the coach's ability and judgment, and Zhao Changhe agreed with her statement.

According to Timur's seven-injury fist method, it is also very uncomfortable for their army. After marching for so long, except for the two Monan tribes that we defeated at the beginning, everything was so vast that we couldn't even see a thing. It was so depressing that people were going crazy.

Xue Canghai was almost exhausted these days. He originally thought that going out to the fortress would be a fierce battle, but it turned out that he was just here for shopping. I admire the vast sky and vast fields every day. It’s quite beautiful at first, but after more than ten days of continuous viewing, I feel like I’m going to explode.

It’s just a shopping trip, but the key is that there is no food or water to drink.

There is obviously a storage box, but ordinary soldiers don't know it. A few high-ranking generals knew about it, but the commander-in-chief strictly ordered not to use it or even mention it.

So everyone was using the dry food and water bags they had brought with them when they set out, as well as the food they had plundered from the first few Monan tribes that had been wiped out. Today, there is nothing to eat. An army of tens of thousands lives on the wild red deer and wolves that they occasionally encounter on the grassland. Is this a human life?

Especially the water, it is not that there is no need to drink it, all water sources are polluted, but this is spring, and there is rainfall on the grassland from time to time. It’s such a tragedy that everyone has to rely on rainwater to survive... In the past, marching hated rain, but now they actually look forward to it.

After more than ten days, the morale of this army was incomparable to when it first came out of the fortress. Everyone looked wilted. The coach Huangfu was indifferent and would only use military law to suppress them.

Fortunately, the places we passed before were all grasslands, and the horses could eat directly, otherwise they might not be able to march here... But even so, the horses can't just eat weeds all the time, and there is no way to raise war horses like this!

However, in such a vast grassland, Timur’s military orders cannot be conveyed to every corner. Occasionally, we can still encounter some small tribes that have not left, and they are looted by the Han army. Basically, this improves their lives. . But this is not enough for the army. Everyone takes turns to share pitifully. The so-called "eat from the enemy", the gap between ideal and reality is too big.

I don’t know how the West Route Army solved the food problem. Maybe they were transporting food out of the fortress there. In short, it couldn’t be as uncomfortable as the East Route Army. This woman here who is the head coach for the first time can really lead troops?

Not only the soldiers complained, but also many generals were filled with resentment. Someone quietly complained to Zhao Changhe several times. Zhao Changhe only asked one question and then became silent: "What can we do? Can food be transformed? This is Timur’s lose-lose strategy, we can only compete with them to see who can survive better.”

That said, Timur’s side is going to have an impact because the nomads have finished this year, but at least there is food to eat now. We are all starving to death now, okay?

"Don't worry, according to this march progress, we are almost at their sacred mountain..."

"But they may not protect any sacred mountains. If people go to the mountains, we will all starve to death there. Are we going to hunt tigers like His Highness did in Beimang?"

"That's your Majesty's job, not His Majesty's and mine, thank you."

"..."

Zhao Changhe could only reassure: "Don't worry, the temple is very important to the faith... The other party will not abandon the temple casually and let us lose everything."

"The belief in Changshengtian is not like that. They will not leave us such a clear attack point. The temple is really not that important to them!"

"What do you want to do?"

The generals looked at each other in confusion, could it be possible to withdraw the troops?

As expected, he looked north in a hurry. I am afraid this battle should not have come at all.

Uh no, didn’t it say there was a storage box? Could it be that he lied to us and doesn’t exist at all?

"Commander, Commander!" A scout rode back from the front and reported ecstatically from afar: "Commander, we found a small tribe cluster again!"

The surrounding soldiers were all refreshed after hearing this. Huangfu didn't even think about it and waved his hand directly: "Come on!"

Xue Canghai took the lead and rushed out with his troops, shouting and brandishing his sword. The tribesmen in the distance seemed to have noticed and ran for their lives like crazy. The Han army followed them and chased after him.

This kind of improvement in life has been extremely rare for everyone recently. It can even be said that many people come here specifically to find these small tribes, and no one thinks too much about it.

On the other hand, the herdsmen sent by the Batu tribe to serve as guides were worried: "Commander, we are constantly chasing scattered tribes, and unknowingly we have led the army to deviate from the established route and start to go a little westward. It shouldn't have been done in the first place. So..."

Huangfu Qing nodded and said: "It's okay, I know what I'm doing. We don't have to go straight into the temple, it doesn't necessarily mean much. If we can detect most of the opponent's clusters to the west, maybe it's good..."

Before she finished speaking, Sisi's eagle master hurriedly came over: "Commander, our eagle discovered a large population of cattle and sheep in the distance, which is suspected to be a gathering place for large tribes!"

This time Huangfu Qing and Zhao Changhe looked at each other, and the generals around them and even many mature and prudent people showed expressions of surprise.

There are a lot of cattle and sheep, which means that it is not an army, but a tribe, a big tribe.

It is absolutely impossible for Timur to shrink all his tribes and throw them all into one place. There is no place that can support such a large number of people to live together. It can only be divided into several different areas for the settlement of very large tribes.

Is this a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, chasing other scattered tribes, but found a huge settlement?

This is the first truly meaningful goal.

As long as this large tribe is broken, it can even be said that the basic strategy of "attacking the barbarians and being unable to go south" has been achieved, and the results can be called "digging the court and sweeping the holes".

Huangfu Qing said in a deep voice: "Let's check again to see if there is any movement from the main force of Beihu."

The Eagle Controller said: "There are no military movements for hundreds of miles around...but there are troops protecting the tribe. That is normal."

Suzaku was unmoved: "Wait for Xue Canghai's return."

Not long after, Xue Canghai, who had been chasing the small tribe just now, returned happily: "Commander, I really saw the outline of a big tribe over there. The other little guys went around to detect the movement. Except for the direction of the tribe, the rest There are no signs of military presence around."

"What about the number of tribal troops?"

"We dare not get close, we are not sure."

Suzaku asked the eagle master: "Where have you met, my sister?"

The eagle cannot tell the difference between ordinary herdsmen and the army, so the eagle master can only shake his head.

Xue Canghai said: "Commander, no matter how many troops the opponent has, we cannot bypass the big tribe and turn a blind eye. This battle is imperative, otherwise the morale of the army will collapse."

Suzaku is still silent.

Xue Canghai wiped his beloved Blood Magic Sword with a cloth, glanced sideways at Huangfu Qing, and then at Zhao Changhe, but hesitated to speak.

Forget it, I was beaten so badly by this woman in the capital over the past few days to avenge her, so it’s better not to say anything.

But no matter how silent he was, everyone could see the ridicule in his eyes. He was obviously chasing other tribes and met the big tribe by chance. No matter how he looked at it, it was just luck. The main force of Beihu? The main force is in the direction of the Holy Mountain. We are all in a different direction here. It is not the same road at all. This is still suspicious and timid. How can you be Suzaku?

Huangfuqing was silent for a moment and asked the scout in a low voice: "What other geography is there in the surrounding area?"

The scout said: "There is a barren mountain to the north, which is pretty big, but there is no place to hide people."

Huangfu Qing nodded: "Don't go directly to the other tribe through this path, be careful of traps. The whole army will take a detour from the direction of the barren mountains in the north and follow the mountains."

Xue Canghai's eyes lit up: "The commander-in-chief means..."

Huangfuqing took a deep breath: "Of course the whole army will attack, we will eat here tonight!"

"Rumble!" The sound of horse hooves resounded in the ecstasy of the three armies, and even the earth trembled.

High on the barren mountain, Bo'e looked coldly at the scene of the Han army rushing towards his position like a joyful man, with a smile on his lips.

"Huangfu Qing is cautious, but it's meaningless." Bo'e turned to the shamans around him and chuckled: "When it comes to war, she is still too young, like a fledgling girl."

The shamans all laughed: "I have been playing with the true illusion of Zun Shen for more than ten days, and now no one can only think of it as chasing a chance encounter... After finally seeing the tribe gathering together, she just wanted to endure it, Xue Canghai said I can’t help it.”

Another shaman said: "We can't blame them. They think they have eagles controlling the sky, but we can't see what they are doing. In fact, all their movements are under our control, and they don't know what we are doing." The coming of gods has long since changed the war pattern of previous years. It’s ridiculous that there are three Yujing in their army, but they haven’t woken up yet.”

"The gap between the first level and the second level of the imperial realm is no smaller than the difference between the secret treasure and the entrance. Xia Longyuan was more intimidating back then because he was at the second level or in the later stage. Zhao Changhe Huangfu Qingyue Hongling, Far from qualified."

As he spoke, Huangfu Qing led the crowd to the foot of the mountain, and could vaguely see the tribes in the distance to the west appearing at the end of the horizon.

Huangfu suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the army, and squinted his eyes for a long time: "Stop for now, the scouts will explore this mountain first."

Bo'e smiled low and said: "It's still prudent. Let's go."

There is nothing on the mountain...the real trap is in the "tribe" in the distance. The vast tribe in the distance numbered at least 100,000 people. In fact, there were no herdsmen at all. They were all elites. Herding a herd of cattle and sheep there was just to deceive the eyes of the hawks, waiting for them to rush in thinking they had met by chance.

Once the Han army rushes into the so-called "big tribe", they will immediately find themselves plunged into a vast sea of grassland elites.

Also, they did not move the tribes along the way at all, and there was no such thing as the Seven Injury Fist.

That is the effect of the heavenly book of the Immortal God, existence and non-being, virtuality and reality, truth and illusion. Everything I saw along the way was false. In fact, countless tribes along the way watched the Han army pass under their noses and studied the water that was not polluted at all.

Then throw out some discarded pieces, constantly attracting them to chase, and lead them into the established trap along the way. And in fact, the tribes along the way had already gathered into an army at this moment, always staying far behind the Han army, preparing to give them a fatal pincer attack.

Actually, this is not the main force, only tens of thousands of people. To deal with a light cavalry, as long as they fall into a trap, there is no need for a main force. Temur had a chance encounter with Zhao Changhe, and after misleading him, he led his troops to the west. The real main force was still with Huangfu Yongxian.

Zhao Changhe’s judgments seemed to be all wrong, and none of them were right. It seems that the outcome of this battle is already known without having to fight.

Of course you can't be careless... Bo'e still gave the biggest inducement.

"Boom!" Thunder fell from the sky and struck the entire Han army.

"Choke!" Zhao Changhe's dragon bird unsheathed and swept across thousands of troops.

The half-moon slashing sword light, which was countless times larger than in the previous years, swept out and dissolved all the thunder.

Bo'e's "shocked and angry" voice came: "Aren't you supposed to go straight into the temple? Why did you deviate to this place!"

Zhao Changhe laughed and responded: "This is the protagonist's luck. It is not easy for a great shaman. You are alert before we arrive. How many tribes are you distracted from protecting?"

Following the words, Yue Hongling also unsheathed her sword and chased towards where Bo'e's voice came from: "Why don't you show up, great shaman, to continue the battle between you and me in Chang'an?"

Zhao Changhe also left the formation with her to pursue Bo'e. Suzaku did not move and continued to lead the army, seemingly going straight to the tribe in the distance that had lost the protection of the great shaman.

"Dang!" Zhao Changhe and his wife finally caught up with the fleeing figure in mid-air. The figure pulled out an ax and blocked the two men's attacks at the same time. The violent force surged in, and the young couple turned upside down in the air at the same time. They stopped in shock and looked up.

The person who came was bare-chested, tall and mighty, with a rough and resolute face, and his bronze skin seemed to have a divine luster. The golden belt bound his forehead, his eyes were bright, and the majesty and pressure in his eyes were just like when Zhao Changhe saw Jiuyou for the first time in the dark alley of Chang'an.

This kind of strange pressure, this strange feeling of divinity... this is not Bo'er at all.

This is the true form of the Immortal God, seen for the first time.

Zhao Changhe was shocked: "It's you... where is Bo'e?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on the rough face of the Immortal God: "Of course he is leading the crowd to open a dragnet, waiting for Lord Suzaku to step in."

Zhao Changhe seemed to be about to turn around and return. The Immortal God struck out with his axe, and the surrounding thunder formed a heavenly prison, trapping Zhao and Yue in it: "It's better to stay."

Zhao Changhe took a deep breath: "Are you healed?"

"It is true that I have not recovered. This is your opportunity for the Northern Expedition." The Immortal God smiled sarcastically: "But within my range, my strength will only be stronger than when I was in full bloom. Not even Xia Longyuan dared to run away Do you dare to come and attack my holy mountain?"

Zhao Changhe's expression gradually calmed down: "In other words, in fact, by saying that you have a weaker clone to restrain Sanniang, you are still misleading us and leading us into the current death place."

"That's right." The God of Immortality said calmly: "Watching you all running towards death, I feel quite complicated. To be honest, I don't like to use tricks, but you are too desperate for death, which is really ridiculous. Then Just... stay alive."

"Bang!" The giant ax was swung, and Zhao Changhe, Yue Hongling and his swords all parried the blow.

Then it seemed that they could not withstand the power of the other party's second level of imperial realm, and both of their bodies were leaning back.

But the smile of the Immortal God was a bit stiff: "This power is..."

A Tai Chi phantom appeared under the feet without any warning, assisting Zhao and Yue in dissipating the fierce and unparalleled power of the Immortal God like a millstone. Not only that, it seemed that the Immortal God was somewhat unable to move, as if he had fallen into some quagmire.

At the same time, what looked like a small soldier in the army was shot like a meteor, and the wind and thunder howled, hitting the Immortal God's back directly.

Li Shen Tong!

Zhao Changhe, who was pushed back, slowly pushed forward and leveled the position of the axe, and chuckled softly: "Your Excellency has a false and true heavenly book. I have known about cheating for a long time... Now that I know, please guess, we are all the way Okay, how many of them are cooperating with you? For example, right now, do you think we are chasing you and leaving the army, or are we trying to drag you outside?"
