Night, late at night, Zhang Xingfeng was on his way to Qingzhou County at this time. The escort of several thousand people was taking the time to rest because they would leave early in the morning.
Zhang Xingfeng's eyes were slightly closed as he sat quietly on the soft bed. His current state was in the late stage of Nascent Soul. Although his physical body had reached an extremely powerful level due to his earlier practice of the "Six Transformations of the Mysterious Body". 》The most important "body tempered by fire" has reached the point where it must be practiced. If you don't practice the "Six Transformations of the Mysterious Body", it is estimated that your realm will not be improved in the future due to the physical body.
At this time, Zhang Xingfeng's mind was completely immersed in the 'Purple Gold Yuan Zun', and he controlled the power of chaos in his body to rotate in his body. It rotates and solidifies in the Dantian according to the wonderful trajectory.
Zhang Xingfeng's face suddenly showed a smile, because he has now established the Five Elements Casting Formation in his body, which is called the Samadhi True Fire to cultivate the body from the inside. If the Samadhi True Fire is controlled by Zhang Xingfeng's mind alone, it is impossible for Zhang Xingfeng to provide it. There are so many Samadhi True Fires, so we can only use the Five Elements Casting Formation to collect the Samadhi True Fire first, and then temper the body. With the Five Elements Casting Formation, there is almost no unnecessary loss of the Samadhi True Fire. When Zhang Xingfeng tempers the body , and there is no need to pay special attention to the true fire of Samadhi.
The 'fire' of 'Body Refined by Fire' is the true fire of Samadhi. Only when the body can burst out the true fire of Samadhi, then 'Body Refined by Fire' can be completed. In other words, the Samadhi True Fire merges with him, the Samadhi True Fire is him, and he is the Samadhi True Fire.
As the Duoduo Samadhi True Fire entered the Five Elements Casting Formation, Zhang Xingfeng felt his muscles begin to tremble slightly. Observing carefully, he could find that the subtleties of the muscles were constantly fragmenting and fading away, and the Samadhi True Fire immediately blended into it and grew again. . At this time, the newly grown muscles have a faint white color, which is the color of the true fire of Samadhi.
…
Suddenly there was a glimmer of light outside the tent, and it was already dawn.
There was a faint firelight escaping from Zhang Xingfeng's body, but miraculously, the firelight did not damage Zhang Xingfeng's clothes at all. Zhang Xingfeng, bathed in the firelight, looked so sacred. Suddenly, the firelight quickly converged and returned to Zhang Xingfeng's body.
Zhang Xingfeng suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that this Sixth Transformation Mysterious Body Technique is so powerful. I only practiced it for one night, and my body has already made obvious progress. It seems that I will have to exercise this body more often in the future. Only the 'Fire-Refined Body' can be achieved." Only then can the state reach the early stage of out-of-body experience.”
Zhang Xingfeng stood up with a wicked smile on his face, because he had already thought of the 300,000 masters in Taihang Mountain.
"Here I come! Bandits from the Taihang Mountains!" Zhang Xingfeng murmured to himself.
"Eat quickly and leave immediately after eating!" The voice of a soldier outside suddenly sounded. This soldier's voice was really loud. All the soldiers of the escort army immediately speed up their meal. If they eat slowly and are not full, they must set off immediately when the time is up, and they will only starve by then.
…
Zhang Xingfeng is in Tieyang City in Qingzhou County. Tieyang City is the closest pass to the Liao Kingdom. Similarly, if the Liao Kingdom wants to enter the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, it can only break through Tieyang City.
Of course, the journey is not just Tieyang City, there is also another place, which is the Taihang Mountains. As long as you cross the Taihang Mountains, the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty will be displayed in front of the Liao chariots without any obstruction. However, it is absolutely impossible for a million troops to cross the Taihang Mountains without the Taihang Bandits getting permission.
"What? The troops from Bingzhou County and Yuzhou County haven't arrived yet!" Hong Zhu's violent voice suddenly sounded outside the house.
Zhang Xingfeng frowned: "The troops from the two counties have not arrived yet? This is troublesome. Facing the Liao Kingdom's 1.2 million army, the current 400,000 troops are simply not enough! The matter is difficult to handle. It seems that the only way is to let the army Defended to the death.”
"squeak-"
The door was pushed open, and a depressed Hong Zhu walked in. When he saw Zhang Xingfeng, he immediately complained: "Count Zhang, what do you think we should do now? With only 400,000 troops, it is too difficult to resist a million-strong Liao army. , the most important thing is that this Tieyang City is not as strong as Fengyu City, it can only be said to be a slightly better ordinary strategic city. It is very difficult to defend now!"
Zhang Xingfeng suddenly felt something in his heart after hearing this. He couldn't help but smile and said to General Hong Zhu: "General Hong Zhu, don't be anxious. What do you think he would do if you were the commander-in-chief of the Liao army? He would attack this place. A city?"
Hong Zhu thought for a while and said: "Looking at some of the past battles, the Liao Kingdom only captured Tieyang City twice. The first time they used sneak attack tactics and mass sea tactics. It took more than 500,000 deaths to breach Tieyang City. It is estimated that he will not be like this this time. After all, too many deaths are also very bad.
The second time was a ruse. At that time, a Liao spy actually put Ruanfeng Powder into the water of our army. Moreover, Ruanfeng Powder alone was just an ordinary medicinal material and had no bad effects at all. The military doctors at that time did not pay attention, but Who would have thought that the Liao Kingdom at that time discovered that Ruanfeng Powder would become a powerful sweat medicine when mixed with the fragrance of jasmine flowers. That's why the Liao Kingdom conquered Tieyang City so successfully, but now military doctors have paid attention to Ruanfeng Powder! But in my opinion, it is impossible for the Liao Kingdom to really attack the city by force. It is almost impossible to attack the city with 400,000 troops without 800,000 to 900,000, so I guess the only way is to use ruse! "
Zhang Xingfeng's mouth tilted slightly, revealing a hint of praise, and said: "You're right, after all, every fighting country does not want the standing army to die too many, and dispatches its own reserve army. If it is really time to dispatch the reserve army, it is estimated that Liao There will be chaos in the country!”
The reserve army is only dispatched when a country faces the most critical battle. The reserve army is mostly retired standing army. The ratio of a country's standing army and reserve army is 1:3. A superpower like the Ming Dynasty with a population of several billion has a reserve army of over ten million. However, dispatching the reserve army will have a huge impact on the entire country, and the people's hearts will also be extremely shaken.
Hong Zhu nodded after listening to Zhang Xingfeng's words, with great agreement in his heart.
"But this time, the slow arrival of the troops from the two counties is really a good opportunity!" Zhang Xingfeng suddenly laughed.
Hong Zhu was confused for a while and asked: "Earl Zhang, what do you mean?"
Zhang Xingfeng said mysteriously: "Look at the map. If the Liao Kingdom is unwilling to attack by force, what will he do?"
Hong Zhu turned around and looked at the map. After a while, Hong Zhu suddenly showed a bright smile on his face and turned to look at Zhang Xingfeng. Zhang Xingfeng actually blinked at him, which made Hong Zhu stunned. How did he know how happy Zhang Xingfeng was at this time.
…
In the large tent of the Liao army.
Yelu Hongjin looked at the sand table on the table and frowned.
He was worrying about how to attack the Ming Dynasty. Yelu Hongjin also knew the inside of Tieyang City very well. He knew that the army of Bingzhou County in the north was relatively far away from Qingzhou County. The most important thing was that the army of Bingzhou County had just arrived. After experiencing the Battle of Fengyuguan, an army of 300,000 people is now rushing towards Tieyang City in Bingzhou County. It is estimated that there will be three days to arrive.
The other army of the Prezhou Army, because of its large army, moves relatively slowly, and it is estimated that it will only arrive in two days' journey.
In other words, in these two days, all he has to face is the 400,000 troops in Tieyang City.
However, Tieyang City guarded by an army of 400,000 people is not so easy to break. At first, I thought that the bravery of the Yuanmeng Army could cause a big blow to the Ming Dynasty, and I could take advantage of it, but who knew that the Yuanmeng Army would be inexplicable? It failed, and the defeat was so disastrous that even the armies of the three northern counties were not damaged at all. This made Yelu Hongjin extremely angry.
"Brother, are you worried about the 400,000 defenders? I have two strategies! Hehe!" Suddenly a lean man walked into the big tent.
"You, what can you do?" Yelu Hongjin really didn't have much confidence in his younger brother. This younger brother always did not do his job properly. This time, he also wanted to get some military glory so that he could develop in the future. But Yelu Hongjin really expected this younger brother to show his power.
"Brother, if you say that these 400,000 troops are more or less, if we attack by force, a 1.2 million army will attack like crazy, and it is estimated that 600,000 people will die. Although this move is very awkward, Okay, but it’s just a strategy, don’t you think so, brother?” Yelu Hongye said with a smile.
Yelu Hongjin smiled bitterly and said: "Don't I know? But if there are so many deaths, how can we attack in the future? The 600,000 Ming Dynasty reinforcements that are coming are not vegetarian, and the most important thing is that if the army is not enough, When Zhu Li gets angry and sends the 400,000 Central Army Corps from the capital, what can we do? How can we run rampant in the interior of the Ming Dynasty without a million-strong army?"
Yelu Hongye suddenly laughed and said, "Brother, have you forgotten a plan that was proposed a long time ago?"
Yelu Hongjin was stunned: "A long time ago..." Suddenly his eyes lit up, he looked at the map again, and said in surprise: "You said yes, yes, why did I forget? Now I can completely implement this plan!"
"Yes, brother, although these 400,000 troops are neither more nor less, they cannot attack us from behind. As long as we send 400,000 troops outside Tieyang City to contain the 400,000 defenders, the other 800,000 troops will immediately sweep across the Taihang Mountains. We will seize the Taihang Mountains as our military base. When the time comes, we will cross the Taihang Mountains and the entire Ming Dynasty will be in front of us. And with the Taihang Mountains as our support, we can attack anywhere. Even if the Ming Dynasty army comes to attack, we can still rely on the Taihang Mountains. Come and resist. Haha, when the time comes, we can play whatever we want in the Ming Dynasty! Haha..." Thinking of his success, Yelu Hongye couldn't help laughing wildly.
Someone proposed this plan at the time, but it failed when it was implemented. The main reason was that the Ming Dynasty saw through its plan and actually sent a million troops to attack the Liao army from the rear. The Liao army was already captured by the Ming Dynasty army before it could attack the Taihang Mountains. The formation in the rear was thrown into chaos by the attack, and they fled in rout. There are only 400,000 defenders now. Even if they are stopped, it will be of little use.
Yelu Hongjin also thought that he could attack the Ming Dynasty at any time and rob countless Ming Dynasty properties at any time, and he couldn't help laughing excitedly.
"Come here, call all the six generals here. I have something to announce!" Yelu Hongjin's face flushed. He was so excited. The wealthy Ming Dynasty would be like a prostitute in front of him. He takes.
Yelu Hongjin never thought that the bandits in the Taihang Mountains could defeat him. In his eyes, one hundred thousand bandits would be defeated in one blow under the attack of 800,000 regular troops. Victory is what should be done. There is no way. Any questions.
…
"Really?" Zhang Xingfeng asked in surprise.
"Yes, Commander, the Liao army is now divided into two groups. One group has already headed towards the Taihang Mountains, totaling about 800,000 people, and the other group is almost outside Tieyang City, totaling 400,000 people." Zhang Xingfeng said in front of him.
Zhang Xingfeng waved his hand and said, "You go down first!"
"Yes!" The general immediately followed the order and left the tent.
"Earl Zhang, haha... hahahaha... everything went very smoothly. They really saw that there were few of us and attacked the Taihang Mountain." Hong Zhu said with a smile to Zhang Xingfeng. Suddenly Hong Zhu frowned and said: "But Count Zhang, are you sure that the bandits in the Taihang Mountains can severely damage the 800,000-strong army?" Hong Zhu still found it hard to imagine that 100,000 bandits could severely damage the 800,000-strong Liao standing army.
Zhang Xingfeng felt a little mysterious and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this. Moreover, the bandits in the Taihang Mountains not only severely damaged them, but also completely defeated the 800,000 Liao army!" An innate master can completely defeat an army of 800,000!"
Ignoring Hong Zhu's look of shock, disbelief and confusion, Zhang Xingfeng turned around and looked at the Taihang Mountains on the map.
He sneered in his heart: "Li Tianxiang, Li Tianxiang, aren't you very powerful? Okay, I'll give you the eighty-year standing army of the Liao Kingdom for fun first, but don't be fooled by these Liao people, although they are all ordinary people. People, but there are a lot of them, aren’t they?”
Not only did Zhang Xingfeng laugh out loud, he could already imagine Li Tianxiang's face in Taihang Mountain at this time.
What is Li Tianxiang doing at this time
He is training the 50,000 innate masters and the 103 most powerful masters who have broken through to the first-level realm.
"You have all completely mastered the cultivation method of 'Tian Mo Ce'. Now everything depends on you." Li Tianxiang coldly looked down at the 103 masters who had reached the realm of heaven below from the high platform.
"Yes!" The young master and all the super masters said respectfully. All the masters respect the young master in front of them from the bottom of their hearts. Moreover, now the young master has passed on to them the extremely powerful 'Tian Mo Strategy', all of them He became even more loyal to Li Tianxiang.
Li Tianxiang was ecstatic in his heart at this time: "After these more than a hundred top masters have practiced the most common 'Heavenly Demon Strategy' in the demon world, their skills are estimated to have reached a higher level, and nine of them may even reach the level of Yuan. The realm of infants. When the time comes, as long as... Haha... Hahahaha..." Thinking of the proud moment, Li Tianxiang couldn't help laughing wildly in his heart. At that time, in Temujin's treasure, it would have been so terrifying for an ordinary innate master to turn into a demon puppet. If Turning a master in the Nascent Soul realm into a demon puppet, then...
"I'm telling you, young master, there are 800,000 troops from the Liao Kingdom marching towards our Taihang Mountains!" Suddenly a big man knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.
Li Tianxiang was stunned, and suddenly said in a cold voice: "What, the Liao army actually came to my Taihang Mountains, what's going on?" Li Tianxiang was in an extremely bad mood at this time, how could the Liao army appear? The combat effectiveness of the Liao army Although they are generally slightly lower than the bandits in the Taihang Mountains, their numbers are several times greater. Unless you use this 50,000 innate army, you really have no guarantee of victory.
"I'm telling you, young master, the Liao Kingdom did it once, but that time it was defeated by the Ming Dynasty army from the rear. This time it comes again. I believe it must be to seize our Taihang Mountains and use Taihang Mountain as a base to attack the Ming Dynasty!" A man in black next to Li Tianxiang said respectfully.
Li Tianxiang nodded to the man in black. This man in black was brought by Li Tianxiang from home. He is a strategic talent specially trained by the family.
"The existence of 50,000 innate masters cannot be made known to all countries, otherwise they will definitely join forces to eliminate this terrifying force!" Li Tianxiang frowned and said, this is for sure, if the country knows that there is such a big force that can overthrow the imperial court It is estimated that several countries will even join forces to eliminate these 50,000 innate troops.
Li Tianxiang suddenly said in deep thought: "The 100,000 men and horses on the periphery can resist the 150,000 army. The stronger army of 150,000 ordinary masters, each of them can equal one to five. I believe they are enough to resist the 800,000 army!"
"Okay, I announce that all 250,000 warriors are ready, and five thousand innate masters will be allowed to enter them immediately as sharp knives. Aren't they just 800,000 ordinary Liao troops?" Li Tianxiang had a trace of disdain on his face.
"Yes!" The surrounding leaders immediately knelt down and said. There was also a trace of disdain in their eyes for the Liao army. These bandits who trained all day long had never looked down upon the regular national army.
"Hey, this is the time for me to establish my authority in Taihang Mountain!" All the bandits were filled with killing intent, as if a pack of wolves were waiting for the poor lamb.
It's a pity that at this time, Lamb is still thinking about how to eliminate the bandits without causing damage
Zhang Xingfeng, who was in Tieyang City, was sitting on the sidelines watching the battle. No matter who won, Zhang Xingfeng himself would always be the real winner.
