Kong Peng, the Heishan Martial Master, personally led three thousand elite cavalry. Less than 200 miles away from Nanjian Gorge, he encountered the battle birds who had retreated from Nanjian Gorge. Only then did he realize that the Taoist Master of Killer had died, and even his body was torn to pieces by the storm-like arrow rain, and even his entire body could not be left behind. The more than 40 battle birds they finally got together lost more than one-third of the losses in one encounter.

Looking at the gold-tempering arrow in his hand, Kong Peng frowned slightly.

The iron arrow is about eight inches long, pitch black and dull, the tail of the arrow has no tail feathers that balance the arrow body, the slender shaft and the arrow cluster are integrated into one, and the appearance is no different from ordinary crossbow arrows, but it is extremely heavy, and it is even more than twice as heavy as the edge-front heavy arrows used by the most elite archers in the army.

It can be seen from this that the entire arrow was indeed cast with extremely precious metal quenching iron, but it was polished sharply, but it was therefore such a terrifying lethality.

Even without experiencing the stormy rain of arrows and looking at the gold-tempered arrows in his hand, Kong Peng could not imagine what kind of heavy blow the Dubone Taoist encountered when he was caught off guard.

Although Kong Peng has cultivated the Tao Pill, his understanding of the true meaning of Tao and the essence of heaven and earth has surpassed the Mingqiao realm and entered a higher level. His body is far stronger than that of ordinary people, but in the end he is still the body of a mortal and flesh and blood.

Even if he was not a Taoist of the Killer, if he had personally led the battle birds to Nanjian Gorge, he might have been able to save his life. However, if he didn't want his body to be strangled and crushed by the gold-tempered arrow formation formed by dozens of mechanism crossbows, he would have to retreat in a hurry.

Even if the Jingjue Army vanguard added Chen Hai, there were only three or four early-stage Mingqiao Realm powerhouses, and fighting alone should be far from his opponent. However, as long as someone in the Jingjue Army can let him stay in half the space for several moments, he will need to withstand the coverage of a round of gold-tempered arrow rain.

This is by no means easy to absorb.

Fortunately, Kong Peng attaches great importance to cavalry and shooting, whether he served in the Northern Army of the Western Qiang Kingdom in his early years or became a bandit in Heishan. The bandits of Heishan were able to traverse the desert and became the leader of the horse thieves in the northern part of Pinglu in just a few years, which was closely related to the fact that everyone in Heishan gangs are good at cavalry and shooting.

Even though there were almost everyone with three thousand elite soldiers behind Kong Peng, they all held the crossbow in their hands and were ready for battle.

Using arrow formation to fight arrow formation and using arrow rain to fight arrow rain is undoubtedly the best response.

Forty or fifty mechanism crossbows, no matter how fast the firing rate is, they will not be stronger than the arrow formation formed by three thousand elite archers.

In order to prevent the Jingjue Army's Battle Bird Battalion from rushing from all directions in the air, Kong Peng ordered the three thousand Jingqi cavalry to form a six-level circular formation along the sprint road, which was linked together, so that the Jingjue Army's Battle Bird Battalion could not find a chance to get off the door. However, in this way, before more bow riders were drawn from the rear to reinforce, the speed of the three thousand Jingqi cavalry of the Black Mountain Army's advance towards Nanjian Gorge suddenly stopped.

***************************

The second batch of Jingjue Army, more than 4,000 horse and infantry troops arrived at Nanjian Gorge before midnight.

Miao Mingcheng, Yue Yiran, and Su Chonghu had not left Nanjian Gorge yet, and they were not even giving up. More disciples of the Demon God Temple forced Lu Kai Gorge, but they did not cross Lu Kai Gorge and entered both sides of the Lu River.

Under the cold moonlight, Yue Yiran could see more than 4,000 cavalry and infantry of the Jingjue Army, surrounded by dozens of chariots and slowly entered Nanjian Gorge.

These chariots are painted black and look not good, and are one or two times larger than ordinary four-wheeled carriages. However, judging by the traces left by the ruts crushing the road, these iron chariots are more than ten times heavier than ordinary wooden carriages.

Each chariot was dragged by more than twenty yellow horses, and it was only possible to keep up with the advancement speed of the horse and infantry army.

Although the mechanical crossbows that are mounted on each chariot are even larger and more shocking to see, Yue Yiran doesn't understand what the Jingjue Army is doing to cast such a bulky chariot?

The chariots of these chariots should have been made of metal quenching materials - damn, the Jingjue Army seemed to use the metal quenching materials that were hard to find in the desert as garbage at will - their defense is naturally extremely amazing. Perhaps he could not expect to cut this chariot in three or five strikes, but the chariots were so bulky that if they were not dragged by war beasts like Black Dragon, what would it be useful on the battlefield?

Although twenty or thirty strong horses, or dozens of cunning green horses, can drag such chariots on the battlefield, the enemy cannot directly attack the body of the chariot, and can only disperse the horses dragging the chariots and drag the chariots onto the battlefield.

Yue Yiran didn't know that every time he rode a magical chariot, when he really entered the battlefield, the driving force for three pairs of heavy-bearing wheels to advance and retreat was that the two parts at the bottom of the chariot were refined extremely precisely, equivalent to the wind array box of the top-grade magic weapon of the yellow-level magic weapon.

When traveling for a long distance, in order to extend the service life of core spring components such as wind array boxes and gear boxes as much as possible, dozens of horses were dragged in batches, which was not intentionally intended to cover up.

After the three thousand horse infantry arrived surrounded by the twelve-vehicle chariots, Chen Hai no longer asked the Jingjue army to continue to huddle in the narrow Nanjian Gorge, but went forward to the west entrance of Nanjian Gorge, digging trenches outside the west entrance, and building simple protective walls with wood and stone on both wings. While ensuring his attack channel, he also compressed the rebel attack channel to the extent that the front of the crossbow could cover as much as possible.

Wu Meng and Qi Hanjiang were dawn, so they led the Battle Bird Camp to retreat from the west, and Kong Peng also led more than 10,000 bows and cavalry to approach the west. Even though the rebels still had an absolute advantage in scale at this time, Kong Peng did not immediately lead the crowd to Nanjian Gorge to rush over, but instead stationed in a small city called Yuchi City twenty miles away from Nanjian Gorge.

Although Yu Chi City was like Lucheng before, it had been controlled by Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng's direct line. It had not made any public statements before. In fact, it still had to cooperate with the conspiracy of using Lucheng as a trap to lure and kill the elites of Taiwei Sect.

The conspiracy of the Demon God Temple was exposed. Hundreds of elite disciples did not dare to advance north south of Lukai Gorge, but Yuchi City raised the rebellious flag of the Black Mountain Army; and in addition to many disciples of the Demon God Temple lurking, Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng had deployed a defensive magic array in Yuchi City, and Chen Hai could not suddenly seize it.

At this time, Ye Qinglin also led his troops into Tielegin. In the name of the ruler of the Western Qiang Kingdom, he summoned the five heads of Zhao Jin, Zhou Yiming, Yang Jinsheng, Gu Yanxia and Zhang Tianzuo to meet him.

Kong Peng led his superior troops to attack Nanjianxia. No matter what the final result of this war would be, the heads of the five surnames knew that the rebels would not be able to cross Tieler Ridge and enter Lucheng in a short period of time.

Where to go is not a difficult choice for them at this time.

Zhang Tianzuo led more than a thousand legitimate children and relatives of the clan to withdraw from Lucheng and escaped into the clan camp on the south side of the city and the west bank of the Lu River.

Even though Zhao Jin, Zhou Yiming, Yang Jinsheng, and Gu Yanxia decided to lead the children of the four clans to re-attach the Ye royal family, they would not rush to attack Zhang. In any case, Zhang's biggest crime was mainly colluding with the Demon God Temple and setting an ambush against the disciples of Taiwei Sect.

Whether to encircle and annihilate the Zhang family's children, even Ye Qinglin cannot decide without authorization. Ge Xuanqiao still needs to represent Taiweizong as the leader. However, Ye Qinglin would never mind sending troops to annihilate the three or four thousand Zhang clan members and eliminate future troubles forever.

Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao finally gave Miao Mingcheng, Yue Yiran, Su Chonghu and Zhang Tianzuo the last game, asking the Zhang clan members to retreat south of Lukai Gorge within three days.

Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao could only threaten the disciples of the Demon God Temple not to step across Lukai Gorge, but hundreds of disciples of the Demon God Temple gathered deep in the mountains south of Lukai Gorge and did not leave, which was always a threat. They did not want to kill themselves, so they naturally could not let the Zhang clan escape from Tieling Ridge and surrender, and strengthen the strength of Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other thieves. The best way is to force thousands of Zhang clans into the deep mountains south of Lukai Gorge.

The mountains south of Lukai Gorge are extremely high, and there is no problem with the mysterious cultivation of the spirit realm and the martial artists hiding in the south of Lukai Gorge for a long time. However, if Miao Mingcheng and others want to see thousands of Zhang clans die in the mountains, they must immediately arrange their disciples to escort the Zhang clans to the Dajin Mountain where the Demon God Mountain is located.

In this way, we must also lift the threat of gathering disciples of the Demon God Temple in the south of Lukaixia.

******************************

In the past six months, Ye Qinglin, Ye He and other Ye disciples gathered the remnants in Heishan and trained 20,000 royal troops, and this time they all drove to Tieling.

In addition, although Ding Shuang, Deng Qingyuan, Guo Hongzong and others led some troops to stay in Heishan, the Jingjue army also recruited 12,000 elite troops from many military prefectures, leading Dong Ning, Fan Dachun, Han Jian, Deng Tonger, Han Wendang, Ge Tong and others to Lucheng south.

With absolute military strength, Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng gathered more than 70,000 troops in the royal city of Xiqiang and Tianaishan, and later in the process, he also tilted towards Yuchi City. Whether it was the size of troops or the number of elite troops, the Heishan rebels had a great advantage. However, whether it was the early Heishan gangs or the more than 10,000 elite cavalry secretly supported by the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom, they were good at fighting for power in the vast sea of ​​sand, and were short of the battle against the city.

The Jingjue Army deployed light and medium-sized crossbows at the west entrance of Nanjian Gorge, with only ninety medium-sized crossbows, but in addition, there were more than 200 heavy-duty stone-capping crossbows deployed within the stone guardrail, making the west entrance of Nanjian Gorge seem like an iron needle hedgehog, which made the rebels unable to get down to eat even if they had the advantage of their troops.

After the Zhang family retreated south to Lukai Gorge, the Lucheng City Guards were mainly composed of the four surnames Gu, Zhou, Zhao and Yang. Ye Qinglin divided four generals of the guards to the four surnames. The four surnames merged the private soldiers and the city guards into a single army, with a total of more than 6,000 people, belonging to the Ye family's royal army and stationed in Nanjian Gorge; the Jingjue Army was officially responsible for the prevention of Lucheng.

This is also a condition that was agreed at the beginning.

The Jingjue Army made every effort to help the Ye family restore the country, but the area east of Tiele Ridge was placed under the jurisdiction of the Jingjue Protectorate.
