The envoy left in despair, and Li Zhi led several generals into the meeting hall.
Looking at the embarrassed Taichu Palace cultivators, Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "I burned two stand-in puppets in a row, and then I realized that something big happened here, so I led my troops to come over to have a look. It seems that there is a big cause and effect.
Under the curse, everyone will not have a hard time. Brother Wei Xian, he...he..."
Li Zhi's words were suddenly interrupted.
Standing at the main peak, he could gradually feel that the Qingming Realm was filled with lifeless energy, and that the power of the realm was completely gone.
This is the complete disconnection between the realm master and the realm stone. The realm stone will go dormant on its own. After a while, the realm will slowly retreat back to its most basic state. For Qing Ming, the realm will be restored to a hundred miles.
about.
Li Zhi's voice suddenly became choked with sobs. He is also a world leader now, so he naturally knows what this sign means. Wei Yuan has fallen.
Li Zhi didn't hide it, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Xian left suddenly, so he probably didn't leave any words behind. But as far as I know, even if Qing Ming is fed to a dog, Brother Xian will never do it."
I don’t want it to fall into the hands of the Xu family! There’s nothing I can do to help him, I have to fight the Xu family first!”
All the cultivators said: "This is how it should be!"
"Okay!" Li Zhi turned around and said to a Dharma monk behind him: "Go back to the realm now and send five thousand Qingqi over! Hurry!" "There are only two thousand guards in the realm."
"Don't worry about it for now. I will go back after this battle is over." The Dharma-Xiang monk nodded, turned around and left, disappearing in an instant.
Li Zhidao: "Li brought 20,000 elite troops this time, plus the following 5,000 light cavalry, for a total of 25,000. Let me tell you, I have some experience in running an army, so I will command this battle.
how?"
The cultivators in Taichu Palace discussed it, but no one had any objections.
In the last battle with the Xu family, everyone saw Li Zhi's ability to lead the army. Although he was not as popular as Wei Yuan, he was still able to defeat more with less. With five thousand light cavalry, he defeated several times the enemy.
He defeated his own enemy troops and captured a large camp, capturing tens of thousands of civilians.
When it comes to leading troops to fight, all the cultivators knew that they were not as good as Li Zhi. Fighting is not a battle of skills, and it does not mean you are powerful because of your advanced cultivation. Seeing that everyone had no objections, Li Zhi said to Cui Yu: "How many soldiers are there in the realm now?
What type of military?"
In the past few days, Cui Yu ignored his physical weakness and walked through the entire realm to find out the losses and available troops. If Li Zhi had not come, he originally planned to lead his troops and fight to the death with the Xu family.
At that moment, Cui Yu said: "Under the great curse of cause and effect, a total of more than 50,000 people died in the realm. Although the cast monks were better able to resist, they also had a deeper bond with the realm lord, so the casualties were heavy, with 8,000 dead. Originally,
We have just organized and trained the elites of the two towns, totaling 10,000 people, and now there are still 7,000 left. The standing army in the boundary has been trained to 20,000, and now there are 16,000 left. The remaining peasants and soldiers have died of 1,000."
Li Zhi was stunned on the spot: "So many people died?! The bond is so deep?!"
Li Zhi asked himself that he was following the right path in running the army with both leniency and severity. Although his elite soldiers had been with him longer than these people and Wei Yuan, he asked himself at this moment, if the curse of cause and effect fell on him, how many lives could be implicated?
die?
Li Zhi felt that he might not even have one hundred.
How could Wei Yuan, a barbarian, win the hearts of so many people?
Li Zhi gathered his mood, laid out a map on the case, and then began to deploy: "Although the Xu family's army is large, they lost a lot of elites last time, and they also mixed in a lot of officers and soldiers, so they are large but not elite. I
It was expected that it would be slow in movement and ineffective in maneuvering, so this time we used Xuanweisan as the fulcrum to deploy heavy defenses to withstand their first few waves of offensive. My elite Southern Qi troops were deployed on the side, and when the time came, I would use light cavalry to cut off their food routes.
Then use sharp warriors to attack from the side and behind, and you should have a chance of victory."
Zhu Xiu couldn't think of a better way for a while, so Li Zhi began to deploy the positions one by one according to the strength and configuration of the remaining troops in the boundary.
Cui Yu and other leading monks wrote down the formation map and were preparing to go to their respective departments. Suddenly a monk ran in in a panic and said: "It's bad! All the Xu family's envoys have been killed!"
All the cultivators were shocked, and Cui Yu asked, "What's going on? Who killed him?" "It's me." The door opened, and Baoyun walked in.
Cui Yu could hardly believe his eyes and said, "Why are you here? Your family will let you out?" Bao Yun said, "There is a price."
Cui Yu understood and stopped asking further questions.
Li Zhi looked at his opponent in the unified examination with a very complicated expression for a moment, and sighed: "When the two countries are at war, I won't kill the envoy. He is just a small Taoist monk. If he kills all the envoys, what will happen?"
"
Bao Yun said: "I will kill everyone in the mission!" Li Zhi was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Baoyun came to the map, looked at the defense map, and said to Li Zhi: "Is this your strategy?" "Yes."
"This plan won't work, and the outcome will be half-win or half-lose."
Baoyun didn't speak politely at all, and Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but looking at Baoyun's slightly tired face, he suddenly saw the huge sadness surging under the calm surface.
Bao Yun said calmly: "You don't mind letting me take charge?" Li Zhi hesitated for a moment, but finally spread his hands, indicating that he was casual.
Bao Yun asked Cui Yu about the remaining troops in the realm, then came to the map, removed the original marks, and then said: "I will kill all the missionaries and have their bodies hanged at the edge of the realm, and pass on
All the cities in the first realm want everyone to know one thing: this is a life-and-death feud. Either the enemy dies or we die, and there is no room for relaxation. "
Li Zhi opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
Bao Yun pointed in front of the Xu family's army and said: "Set up a line of defense here. Senior Brother Cui will lead five thousand people to hold it, and Xuan Wei San will lean on each other. These five thousand people don't need to be too strong or too weak. They should be medium.
That’s it. When there are two thousand people left, you can retreat. But before you retreat here, there can’t be more than five hundred people alive.”
Cui Yu was startled and said: "Are you asking us to die?" "It's not to die, it's to die in battle." Bao Yun's voice was very calm.
"With Senior Brother Cui fighting to the death and these people pretending to be defeated and luring the enemy, the Xu family will definitely think that the realm is exhausted and all the elites have been wiped out, so they will march straight in. As long as they chase for a few dozen miles, the Xu family's army will be in disarray.
.As long as you can bring 50,000 people here, that will be enough."
What Bao Yun was referring to was a flat valley surrounded by hills of tens of feet, which could barely be used for an ambush. Bao Yun divided the young men of the Xu family into two groups to ambush here, and when the Xu family's army entered the ambush, they would all attack together.
Finally, Bao Yun said to Li Zhi: "Brother Li will lead your Southern Qi warriors at that time and attack from the place where the Xu family's private army and the official army meet. Don't worry about anything else along the way, go straight to their retreat, and then
Set up defenses on the edge of the boundary to prevent the Xu family's army from escaping. When the five thousand light cavalry arrive, they will circle back from the flanks and cut off their food routes, but they must be allowed to see the movement of the cavalry." Li Zhi nodded.
"Then everyone is in position for the decisive battle tomorrow!"
The commander-in-chief of the Xu family was furious when he received the news that the envoys had been killed and their headless corpses were hung for public display. He marched forward and met Cui Yu who was building a fortification outside Xuanwei San.
There was a huge disparity in the strength of the troops between the two sides, but they fought for nearly the whole day. All the cultivators from the Taichu Palace went out to fight. Although there was only one Dharma minister, Mr. Hoe, he severely wounded three Dharma minister elders of the Xu family. As dusk approached, Cui Yu was also seriously injured and had to lead the remaining soldiers to retreat.
.At this time, the enemy had already dropped 30,000 corpses in front of the formation!
After this battle, the head coach of the Xu family picked up four thousand corpses of realm warriors on the battlefield. Eighty percent of the defenders led by Cui Yu died in this battle.
The commander-in-chief of Xu Jiajun was also frightened. He ordered all the Qingming soldiers to be buried lavishly, and he led the main force to pursue Cui Yu and went straight to the core of the realm. At night, the front army entered the ambush circle, the middle army was still ten miles away, and the rear army was fifty miles away.
.
Forty thousand young men from both wings rushed out, advancing with guns in hand. The fire from the muzzles illuminated the entire battlefield as bright as day. The moment the battle began, the Xu family's front army suffered heavy casualties, and then the army was defeated.
Under the pressure of 40,000 young men Xu Jin, the defeated front army rushed towards the central army. At this time, Li Zhi led the Southern Qi warriors to fight out and tear the enemy army into two pieces.
This invincible elite team was not greedy for fighting at all, and went straight to the rear. At this time, everyone in the Xu family knew that their retreat was about to be cut off, and when the troops were defeated, chaos broke out in an instant. Many people took advantage of the night to escape for their lives.
At this time, Wei Yuan's 7,000 elite troops and Li Zhi's 5,000 light cavalry came out to the left and right, outflanking and killing all the way, leaving the enemy's corpses everywhere.
Above the sky, a fair and fat Taoist priest saw the army below was defeated. He couldn't help but became furious and took out a magic weapon. At this time, a calm voice sounded next to him: "We'd better not interfere in the affairs of the juniors."
The Taoist turned his head suddenly and saw an elegant monk in silver clothes, looking at him with a smile but not a smile. The Taoist's expression suddenly became solemn and said: "Bao Man Shan! You and my family are one, you are not the same."
Are you standing over at Taichu Palace?"
Bao Manshan chuckled and said: "That's serious. It's just that the younger generation in the family has obsessions. As elders, we can't watch her path be blocked." "The descendants of my Xu family below have suffered heavy casualties, so I have to take action."
two."
Bao Manshan said with a half-smile, "I think it's better not to do it. If it affects Yun'er's Taoist heart, it won't end well. Anyway, you young people from the Xu family are not worth anything. If you die, won't you be reborn?"
The fat Taoist Bai became anxious and said: "I will only save people from my Xu family, and it will not affect the path of your descendants."
Bao Manshan's face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "Brother Tie Dao, if fewer people in your family die, it will affect Yun'er's path! Have I made it clear enough? Or is it that Bao has done nothing in the past two years?
Take action, do you even dare not give me face?"
The face of the fat Taoist was changing, but when he saw the murderous look in Bao Manshan's eyes, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "The Immortal Ancestor will definitely give an explanation for this matter!"
Bao Manshan gave a long laugh and said: "Then I have to ask my ancestors to come as soon as possible. In ten years, when the second immortal king of my Bao family is born, he will not be as easy to talk to as now!" The fat Taoist Bai hummed.
With a cry, he turned and left.
Bao Manshan shook his head and sighed: "After all, I am too timid. I ran so fast! Fellow Daoist Zhu, come out."
The woman in red appeared from the void and said: "He has a suspicious temperament and will definitely doubt the possibility of you and me joining forces. It is normal for him to run away."
Baoman Mountain looked at the woman in red up and down, and suddenly said: "You will definitely not be able to escape the curse of cause and effect. Now I am very curious, how badly injured are you?" Zhu Yuanjin said: "You will know if you try it.
Already?"
Bao Manshan seemed a little eager to try, but in the end he didn't take action. Then at this moment, a shout suddenly sounded from behind Zhu Yuanjin: "I'll try!" The meal man actually went away and came back, quietly hiding himself nearby. He
As soon as he took action, he tried his best and used his killing move directly!
There was a flash of light in the sky, and then blood spilled across the sky!
A long trail of blood flew out from behind Zhen Tie Zhenjun and disappeared in an instant. Along the way, he roared in pain like thunder and rumble. Zhu Yuanjin put a shining knife into his sleeve.
Bao Manshan laughed and shook his head, saying: "This guy is really not very smart. He wouldn't think about it. How could you not have the means to deceive the secrets of heaven if you can sit in the broken world for so long? You want to deceive the curse of cause and effect,
It’s not impossible.”
"I would also like to thank my fellow Taoist for your cooperation."
Bao Manshan looked down and said: "I am doing it just for Yun Yatou. After this incident, her fate with you will be over." "That's how it should be."
Bao Manshan suddenly smiled and said: "If that boy Wei Yuan is still alive, tell him that if he wants to continue this relationship, then come to Bao's house. At least I won't do it here.
Chapter completed!
