Chapter 547: The Wind and Frost (6)

"Bang!!!"

With a loud bang, Xue Liang turned his gaze expressionlessly to the layer behind him where the huge crossbow arrow exploded, and then immediately turned his head back to the main battlefield where his eyes were before.

There is the power of the heaven and earth, and the power of the dragon soaring and tiger leaping.

Yes, the war has escalated.

Although both sides seem to believe that this war will be a relatively lasting battle, both sides also believe that the current battlefield has fallen into a quagmire with a continuous reduction in strategic value.

However, the war has escalated.

In early October, the army made a comeback, carrying dozens of crossbows, hundreds of simple long ladders, dozens of teams dragged the livestock team, four or five crashed cars, and then appeared on the battlefield. Then they launched a fierce siege on the Kansai Army's camp.

The siege was very failed, or on a large-scale battlefield with sufficient practitioners, such engineering progress did not ensure the subsequent advancement of hand-to-hand combat.

At this point, the war has actually completed two upgrades in just one day. One is of course a large-scale investment in engineering equipment, and the other is that under the suppression of engineering equipment, both sides formed elixirs. Pill-condensing practitioners no longer cared about it, and either actively or passively began to intensively intervene in the battlefield and control regional positions.

Because of this, the army began to withdraw in the afternoon after a long time of lively fighting... A large number of engineering equipment was left on the battlefield, triggering pursuit and competition from many Guanxi troops. So the prepared army counterattacked and fought back. Several elite battalions tried to encircle and eat the disorderly Guanxi troops who were chasing out of the camp.

In this situation, a specific master of Dan Condensation did not dare to break out of the camp easily, so the grand master and Emperor Ying, who stood on a hundred-foot platform, finally took action.

The man was condescending and drew the longitude and latitude between heaven and earth. Every time a white piece fell, the Great British soldiers on the battlefield under the sky were inexplicably excited and exhausted, as if there was a wind everywhere to help them sway; every time a black piece fell, the soldiers on the battlefield under the sky were slow to move and lacked strength, as if the surroundings turned into mud to prevent them from going back and forth.

This is a master method that is completely different from the gold, silver and red chess pieces that were directly attacked before, and the effect is significant. The Kansai Army below is inspired by this and everyone is working hard, almost rushing out of the camp and pursuing it in full swing.

Zhang Xing did not dare to be neglected at all. He measured a little, and the five hundred white cavalry that followed the army was slapped out three hundred, and then under the organization of the three masters, he turned into a golden glow dragon hundreds of feet tall, spreading his wings and rushing towards the opponent's army... There was no way, Zhang Xing had no corresponding high-end means, and could only deal with it in this low-end way.

You can't say that no matter how high-end the British Emperor is, he can't continue to be high-end when he encounters this kind of playing style. He can only transform his tactics, rearrange the gold, silver and red chess pieces, and face the battle with the Glow True Dragon.

In this way, the riverside was as wonderful as the battle of immortals. In the end, almost no ordinary soldiers of the two armies fought. Most of the people's attention was on the battle of immortals. Only a few soldiers who controlled the crossbow chariots and the Guanxi Army that occupied the camps came from time to time.

Moreover, the coaches of both sides are really in a situation where they are not in the right position.

This is not someone deliberately controlling the field... In fact, both sides were forced to come to the stage by the situation, and they were constantly increasing their efforts, tempting, and repeatedly increasing the intensity of their true energy and using possible fighters to launch attacks. However, the more they fought, the more frightened they became, because both sides realized that the other side was far from their former level, so they dared not say that they were evenly matched, at least they would be difficult to decide the winner in a short period of time.

Of course, neither side dared to fight to the death, nor did they let the master who was escorting the formation on the field. After all, there is another master in Heyang City, and the master who set up the tower was watching coldly... As for the Zhenqi Army formation with a larger organization scale and stronger power, there was no way to do it in a hurry, and they didn't dare. What if they were defeated?!

However, the two armies were not shocked by this even-match. On the contrary, in their opinion, this should be true. Although Zhang Xing was just a master, he was also the lord of Hebei. When the Black Emperor chose, the magic behind him must be the heaven. With the two masters and the Three Hundred Shrines, they can naturally be equal to the lord of Guanxi who has dozens of cavalry and Fulong Guards. On the other hand, although Bai Hengqiu has never dismissed the True Dragon, he is a serious master and great emperor. Guanlong has been standing in the world for nearly a hundred years. How can he be really afraid of these three masters plus three hundred white cavalry?

In this way, the two sides fought until the night, and the soldiers had already withdrawn, but they watched the battle at their own camp, as if they were watching the Long-Term competition and watching the dance before the competition. The true energy of both sides was erected, both of which were based on the glow and true energy, and the light shining on the night sky was filled with colorful light.

That's not all. The real dragon leaps and roars, the chess piece lands, and there is a sound of thunder, which is lively.

Of course, I don’t know what Bai Hengqiu thought. Zhang Xing felt sorry for the white cavalry, so he found an opportunity to stay away from the hundred-foot platform, and then slowly withdrew his magical powers in the confrontation... Judging from Bai Hengqiu’s reaction, he was also numb to the claws this day, otherwise he would not have withdrawn the chessboard so tacitly.

In the twilight that was restored to calm, Bai Hengqiu, wearing golden armor and red robe, walked down the platform without expression. Behind him were Xue Ren with a flushed face and the remnants of Fulongwei with the same posture, and hundreds of thousands of people were greeted... and even thousands of people could be called a cheerful face in his grandmaster's vision.

These people saluted sincerely under the firelight near them, and cheered in the distance, as if their emperor had returned victoriously.

Bai Hengqiu knew very well that not only the Guanxi army would cheer him, but Zhang Xing would also cheer after returning to the camp, even if neither side had won... Because in essence, this was a kind of release, the release of pressure on the battlefield. After this battle, the generals and soldiers below all knew that the responsibility for the war they had shouldered had become smaller, and the sky fell and the tall man stood up, so he would relax from the bottom and cheer.

This is not counting. If there is no accident in the subsequent war, then this battle will be recorded in history and will cover the hard work of the soldiers before. Even after withdrawing the troops, everyone will give a summary of the battle that is indistinguishable from the victory or defeat based on the magical performance of both sides of the war, and ignore many complicated things inside.

Even after tonight, no one will worry about the hasty withdrawal of troops causing unstable morale, because all military conflicts have been shifted to the battle between the highest masters on the surface.

But what about it?

In fact, after this battle, Emperor Bai affirmed one thing, that is, this war, at least the current battle in Jijun, is likely to rely on the soldiers below to decide the outcome.

But why?

Is it God's will? God's will not allow practitioners to perform their destiny? But isn't God's destiny added to themselves? Or as Chonghe said, Zhang Xing himself shakes the destiny, so God's will dare not reveal his destiny again?

So what else can be found next? Sima Zheng?

No, Sima Zheng is here, and the three sides are even more entangled and it is difficult to decide the winner. It is the true qi formation, which brings together all the practitioners on both sides and combines the true qi formation of the military formation... But what if the true qi formation cannot be broken?

In a trance, Bai Hengqiu, whose thoughts were a little confused, saw Liu Yangji, who was obviously excited. It was almost imagined that if he asked the other party's strategy at this time, the confidant general who was in the process of reprimanding would not have insisted on withdrawing troops and fighting in another battle... The other party didn't know that the emperor in front of him, who was receiving the cheers of tens of thousands of soldiers, recognized his suggestions to a certain extent, and even thought of Zhang Shiben for a moment.

That's right, Bai Hengqiu, who had never been shaken before, was actually a little shaken at this time.

At the third update, thunder rumbling, and in the second half of the night, a standard thunderstorm fell in this warm early winter.

This is very unreasonable, because the sun was shining brightly yesterday and there was no cloud. However, considering the previous struggle between the True Dragon and the Heaven and Earth chessboard, everything was reasonable. Maybe it was Mr. Siyu who was happy to see it from the sky and cheered for thunder.

With the thunder and the rain drizzled, the temperature finally turned slightly cooler. However, on the second day, the army's early distributing black winter clothes with standard equipment in the warriors still caused dissatisfaction, because the temperature was not enough, and the winter clothes were kept by themselves, and it was their own business if they were lost or dirty.

Of course, these complaints are all false. The real emotions come from the meaning behind the winter clothes. Everyone knows that the arrival of winter clothes means that the army is ready to continue fighting throughout the winter, and the soldiers are inevitably uneasy and tired.

The long-term war that I understood before was not this long-term war.

"The rotation must be strengthened, and the morale of the army must be maintained...especially when there is continuous casualties and no territory, gold, silver, money, silk, and spoils are entered."

"After the war the day before yesterday, the morale of the military was actually inspired."

"It's meaningless. They just think that the chief is so powerful and can save some attention, not really uplift the army... If I want to say, the soldiers may be lazy in the future, but this battle proves that the top is evenly matched, and the bottom dares to fight and win."

"How about opening a military city?"

"There is no spoils, and the military market is useless. You can't search for prostitutes, right? That's true, I'm afraid that the Lord of Wei will come here first and cut off thousands of soldiers and you and me."

"How about bringing the family?"

"Um?"

"It's October now, and the farming season is slack. In the past, it was also a market and a sacrifice. Yecheng and the army also wanted to seize Long..."

"We've done it."

"But it's not enough... I mean, anyway, the battlefield is in Hanoi, and behind it is our heartland in Hebei, how can't Xu Xian's family of soldiers sit at home come to Jijun to visit? By the way, the market will be opened, and General Cao will send some military supplies there, and allow their family members to buy some extra supplies to come in?"

"Family family buys supplies?"

"Of course... we are naturally full, but as long as our family comes, we always feel that our fathers, brothers and husbands are short of things, just like forcing foundation building. It is impossible for a county to starve these hundreds of children for several months. But now, if the rich family doesn't buy a cowhide bag for the children, and those who don't have money don't sew a cloth bag for their children... Let's sell the ear protection and scarf of the Jiyin military uniform field. If they spend a few small amounts of money, they will feel at ease. When their family members are at ease, the soldiers will feel at ease."

“…”

"It does make some sense."

"If you are injured, you can set a rule first. If you have military achievements, go first, and then slowly make arrangements... Do you want to build some houses?"

"It's too late, let's rent some?"

"You don't know that Jijun now has a lot of money... it's not even a matter of money. There are too many supplies, wounded people, and civilians."

"Yes, but there is nothing we can do. We have to do something, otherwise what should we do with the military department’s clerks and the staff of Wang Yi’s team?

"Yes, no matter how troublesome Ji County is, it is always better than Hanoi. Hanoi is clean. The people who have money go to Dongdu, Yecheng, and those who have no money go to the mountains..."

"Send a message to Mr. Wei, and ask him to find a way to accommodate the Hanoi refugees in the mountains in the north." Chief Zhang, who leaned on the windowsill of the public housing of Wencheng County Government Office, heard the rain falling on the eaves for half a day, suddenly interrupted. "Then select and send some to be civilians here, which is much better than recruiting civilians from the rear... It's okay to open a military city in Ji County to invite family members, you can do it."

Several members of the army who were discussing the military, the clerk immediately shut up, and then hesitated for a moment. Xu Jingzu passed the horse who was still dazed and responded: "Don't worry, chief, make the clerk immediately."

However, Zhang Xing noticed Ma Wei's strangeness at this time, but did not ask directly. Instead, he continued to ask Xu Jingzu and others: "What is the Ma in charge thinking?"

What can Xu Jingzu and others do? They can only look at Ma Wei with embarrassment.

Ma Wei came back to his senses and could not hide his fatigue on his face: "Chief, I really can't figure out why the people in Dongdu didn't surrender? I thought we could not shake the foundation of Dongdu, but Daying could always do it? They were originally Guanlong, but why is the Dongdu stable as Hongshan until now?"

Zhang Xing smiled: "Actually, I figured it out a little..."

Ma Weisurong said: "Please give me advice."

Those documents and the soldiers also pricked their ears.

"Xiaoma, have you lived in Dongdu?" Zhang Xing asked first.

Ma Wei smiled bitterly: "The chief is joking. I can't even live in my hometown in Hebei. What are you talking about Dongdu?"

"I have lived in Dongdu, and I'm afraid I will never forget that period of time in my life... And to be honest, that period of time was the most comfortable period of life." Zhang Xing said in a shocking way. "But later, I gradually realized that the mess after this good day was a mess, so I abandoned Dongdu."

"So they miss the Great Wei?" Ma Wei nodded, suddenly realized and wondered again. "No, ordinary officials and ordinary people, because they had lived a good life in the Great Wei for several years, they naturally instinctively depend on Dongdu, but what about those top Guanlong clans? They also miss the Great Wei?"

"How can you not miss it?" Zhang Xing said disapprovingly. "Think about it... Take Duan Wei, who is now Hongnong, for example, the best situation in his life. Will he be the best time to follow the Great Wei and then take charge of the four seas in the world?"

“That’s true.”

"It's not just that, think about it in another direction. For example, Duan Wei's generation was born in a chaotic world. In the past few hundred years, there were also chaotic times. People around him gave their children a name like "world" and "constant", longing for peace in the world. Then after experiencing the Great Wei, now returning to the chaotic world, do you think that you are just scumbags in the chaotic world, and the fights they are doing are meaningless. They just repeat the old things that were before hundreds of years. On the contrary, the Great Wei is like a dream?"

Ma Wei was silent for a long time. The surrounding documents and military officers were all smart people, and they remained silent for a long time. Then the subordinate of Wang Yimen sighed: "For these people, the Great Wei is not only the peak of life, but also the entrusted ideals? But why did it become the Violent Wei again?"

This time it was Zhang Xing's turn to remain silent.

The rest of the people are not surprised... As a grandmaster, Imagination of the True Dragon may even be the Supreme Master, or a secular ruler of Hebei, Northland, Eastland, and Huaixi, who is so big that he has three parts of the world's energy to support it. After a battle, it is not surprising that he will do anything strange.

Of course, Chief Zhang is not that mysterious, but he is indeed thinking about the battle the day before yesterday.

First of all, the issue of escalation of war.

As we fought that day, the war escalated, and the uncontrollable war escalated... The army created a small trap and wanted to eat some of the chasing Guanxi Army. The Kanxi Army could not bear the casualties, so Bai Hengqiu took action. He fully demonstrated the power of a grandmaster to form a single army, which had a great impact on the battle situation. Zhang Xing and Niu He, who were in charge of the front army, had to take action.

So what to do next?

Should we still insist on this aggressive tactic?

If you persist, you need to actively escalate the war as before, but if you upgrade again, you will have to set up a formation of true qi... And if that is the case, how do you say the outcome?

It should be noted that the Guanxi Army and the Army are obviously misaligned in the configuration of masters in terms of their practice.

The army has no first-mover advantage, but it relies on a large number of late-mover masters raised by themselves over the years of war, namely, many new masters, many elixirs, eight hundred extraordinary scriptures and white cavalry, and the first batch of forced foundation-building youths who have entered the army.

Correspondingly, the Kansai Army has the first-mover advantage, so each stage has the advantage of the upper rank, but lacks the backward advance.
To be continued...
