Chapter 503: The agency army, attack!
Mulun Town.
Liu, Guan, Zhang and Ning were all shocked when they received the military order.
Du Tiechuan is at the level of God Transformation. He was the chief commander of the two countries' expedition to Thousand Peaks Forest, but he was seriously injured in a surprise attack.
The key point is that Master Shengxu is only at the Nascent Soul stage, but he was able to stab Du Tiechuan. If this fact were disclosed, many people would probably think it was fake news.
The later a monk's path progresses, the more difficult it becomes to fight against opponents of higher levels. It may seem like only one level of difference, but in reality there is a world of difference.
Ning Zhuo was at the Foundation Establishment level fighting against the Golden Core, while Master Sheng Xu was at the Nascent Soul level fighting against the Divine Transformation. The latter was countless times more difficult and rarer than the former.
Zhang Hei was puzzled: "What is a commander-in-chief at the level of God Transformation doing? How can he be so careless?!"
Liu Er sighed: "Although Master Shengxu is very weak, he is on the list of masters and is famous for assassination. It is not surprising that he can do this."
Young Master List! This is a very famous list, which includes young male cultivators recognized by the whole world.
This list covers almost the entire world of cultivation and almost all the cultivation countries.
Sheng Xu is among them, and the title of Young Master is of great value!
Guan Hong nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's not the first time that Master Shengxu has fought against the God Transformation level."
"Although Du Tiechuan is at the level of Spiritualization, it depends on whether he is a Spiritual Sorcerer or a Spiritual Sorcerer."
When a cultivator reaches the Spiritualization Stage, the Nascent Soul grows into the Primordial Spirit. As the Primordial Spirit's cultivation continues to accumulate, a portion of it can be separated out to become the second or even third Primordial Spirit.
Guan Hong guessed that Du Tiechuan, who was in charge of the central army and was injured at the moment, could be his real body or his soul.
That night, the alarm bells were ringing and the entire army was sleepless.
They remained on full alert until dawn, and the numerous scattered scouts reported back that there was no sign of a large enemy force.
The soldiers then relaxed.
The order for the entire army to be on alert was of course correct. It was to prevent Young Master Shengxu from assassinating him, and then the Qianfenglin army would come to kill him.
But judging from the current reality, the Qianfenglin army does not seem to be able to sneak into Mulun Town without any preparation.
Or maybe, they just hired Master Shengxu to make an assassination attempt and didn't have too many expectations from the beginning?
No matter what, Master Shengxu, Master List, etc., became the most discussed words in the entire army today.
In the afternoon, another piece of bad news came.
The vanguard armies of the two Zhu countries were positioned the furthest forward, approaching the Tianzhu Giant Tree Mountain in the Thousand Peaks Forest.
On the night before the assassination of Master Shengxu, Qianfenglin suddenly dispatched powerful cultivators to hold a sacrifice, creating a large amount of poisonous miasma, which surrounded the vanguard army.
Now, the dark poisonous miasma separated the inside and outside, surrounding the vanguard army’s camp completely.
"The vanguard army has become isolated and may be under siege at this moment!"
"We must send troops as soon as possible to rescue the vanguard."
"But the head coach is seriously injured. We should keep our troops in place and rest actively at this time."
The officers and soldiers were discussing the matter, and their opinions were mainly divided into two factions. The argument continued, and the morale of the army was shaken.
At noon, Du Tiechuan issued a military order:
The Three Generals Camp, the Barbarian Demon Camp, the Red Flower Camp, and the Golden Halberd Army, four armies, led by four different routes, launched an attack on the Thousand Peaks Forest!
The rest of the troops remained stationed in Mulun Town and remained on standby.
After Liu Er received the military order, he discussed it with Zhang Hei, Guan Hong and Ning Zhuo.
Zhang Hei was excited about the upcoming fight.
Guan Hong was eager to fight, but she also had a worried look on her face: "According to common sense, the two sides should have a big battle, and then divide their forces and launch a multi-line attack."
Ning Zhuo said bluntly: "Du Tiechuan is trying to prevent himself from going into battle with injuries. There are gods at the level in Liangzhu Country and Qianfeng Forest."
"The Qianfenglin side belongs to the Shenxu Dragon King."
"Our coach is Du Tiechuan."
“If we lose easily in a battle at the God Transformation level, the entire army will collapse and fall apart.”
"Therefore, Coach Du must be careful in his actions."
"The key point now is that the vanguard army is shrouded in poisonous miasma, and the real situation is difficult to detect."
"Qian Fenglin suddenly took action and created such a situation. It is possible that he wanted to surround and kill the vanguard army, but it is more likely that he used this as a pretext to set up an ambush and lure the entire army of the two countries to attack."
Ning Zhuo analyzed this and stroked his chin: "It seems that Master Shengxu's assassination of the commander-in-chief and the siege of the vanguard army were a coordinated strategy."
"This is probably just a small part of the overall strategy. There are more hidden dangers inside and outside the poisonous miasma of the Vanguard Army."
"Du Tiechuan doesn't want to rashly mobilize the army, because it is likely to fall into the enemy's trap."
"But he wanted to find out the truth."
"He must have sent out capable scouts to investigate the true situation in the poisonous miasma."
"At the same time, he ordered our four armies to attack, still wanting to test Qianfenglin's military deployment in this way."
Liu, Guan and Zhang were all silent.
They all agreed with Ning Zhuo's analysis.
The Three Generals Battalion was only established not long ago, and even though they trained day and night, their overall combat capability was at the bottom level.
To put it more fundamentally, Du Tiechuan dispatched the three generals' battalions to use them as cannon fodder.
Liu, Guan and Zhang had long been aware of this. As independent cultivators who had come to the throne and formed their own army, it was very normal for them to be used in this situation.
Zhang Hei was puzzled: "Why were the Red Flower Camp and the Golden Halberd Army also assigned to this operation?"
The situation of the Barbarian Demon Camp is similar to that of the Three Generals Camp, and everyone can understand it.
Ning Zhuo pondered and said, "Although the Red Flower Camp originated from General Mu's residence, and the previous difficulties have been solved, the forces in the country still haven't let them go."
"The Golden Halberd Army was purely implicated by Sun Gan."
As the commander of the imperial guards, Sun Gan actually wanted to get his hands on General Mu's mansion and take advantage of it before others.
He himself led the imperial guards, but wanted to jump to another place, which made the monarch dissatisfied.
So, this time he was marginalized and became a pawn to test the enemy's troop deployment.
Ning Zhuo thought for a moment and added, "Of course, there will be distinctions among our four armies."
"According to my guess, among the four marching routes, our situation will not be very good and there will definitely be some tough ones."
Ning Zhuo's guess was later confirmed.
The marching routes of the four armies did have their advantages and disadvantages. Sun Gan's Golden Halberd Army had the most difficulty, the Three Generals Camp was second, the Red Flower Camp was third, and the Barbarian Demon Camp had the best route.
Ning Zhuo inferred from this the changes in the courts of the two states: "Traitors are the most hateful, and Sun Gan's disloyalty made the monarch angry."
"Our three generals' battalions won merit in the last ambush and became very popular. Many people in the court want to suppress us."
"Red Flower Camp ranked third, which revealed that many people still have not given up on General Mu's Mansion."
"It's ironic that the Barbarian Demon Camp, which is usually regarded as a cannon fodder camp, actually gets the best treatment. The situation of the two kings is just like this."
The three generals didn't say anything, but they all looked agreeable.
The military order was issued at noon that day.
The four armies hurriedly ate lunch and then broke camp and marched forward.
Mulan specially invited Ning Zhuo to meet him and gave him a military token: "In a critical moment, crush this token, and I can use military force to pull you to my side."
Mulan is becoming more and more concerned about Ning Zhuo.
She was unemotional and remained the iron-blooded general.
The key is that Ning Zhuo is deeply involved with her interests, and Ning Zhuo's life and death is related to the situation of General Mu's mansion.
Ning Zhuo took the token and expressed his gratitude.
Before Ning Zhuo left, Mulan said, "Perhaps, you can march with me?"
This proposal was immediately rejected by Ning Zhuo, who said that he was the military advisor of the three generals' camp and had always gotten along well with the three generals. At this time, before the war even started, his own military advisor had joined the other army, which would definitely cause trouble for the three generals.
"The three Lords Liu, Guan and Zhang have treated me very well. How could I, Ning Zhuo, be a mean person who forgets his principles for the sake of profit?" Ning Zhuo refused sternly.
Mulan had anticipated this response, so she had no choice but to nod and ask Ning Zhuo to be careful.
Ning Zhuo joined the three generals' camp, and Liu Er secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Er was of course worried that Ning Zhuo would defect to the Red Flower Camp and not stay in the Three Generals Camp.
Now it seems that his worries were unnecessary.
Zhang Hei and Guan Hong had no such worries. They both had full confidence in Ning Zhuo's choice of the Three Generals Camp.
The three generals' camps formed a long snake formation and rushed towards the Thousand Peaks Forest.
They marched normally along the way and there was no deliberate delay.
On the evening of the third day, they arrived at the foot of a mountain called a giant tree.
After setting up camp, the night was calm.
The next morning, we set out to climb the first Tianzhu Giant Tree Mountain.
Did not encounter any enemies.
The soldiers detected many signs of the lives of barbarians and monsters, but these intelligent creatures had moved away.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Although there are other living creatures on this giant tree mountain, they have been abandoned.
The three generals' battalion drove straight in without encountering any resistance.
"General, we found a lot of food!" A scout came back to report, looking excited.
Liu Er and Ning Zhuo went to inspect in person and found that it was a large group of Ling mushrooms.
Ning Zhuo advised: "The barbarians are good at poison. They deliberately left these spiritual foods behind, which may be a trick. In my opinion, don't move at all."
Liu Er originally wanted to pick some to use as reserve food, but upon hearing this, he nodded immediately: "Military Advisor, what you said is very true."
He immediately ordered the entire army not to take a single cent and to continue moving forward.
The second and third Tianzhu Giant Tree Mountain were abandoned. None of the three camps encountered any enemy.
Liu, Guan, Zhang and Ning remained calm, but their mood became increasingly solemn.
It would be in their best interest to encounter some resistance. First, it would be used to train the troops, second, it would boost morale, and third, even if they were frustrated, they would have a reason to stay where they were.
On the contrary, now that the enemy has taken the initiative to shrink and gather the nearby military forces into a group, it is more threatening to the three general camps! When they finally arrived at the fourth giant tree mountain, they saw two military camps.
One military camp was stationed at the foot of the mountain, and the other was stationed halfway up the mountain, with the two supporting each other.
There is only one camp for the three generals, and it is impossible to divide the troops into two places.
"Damn it, the enemy has too many soldiers. Our triangular arrow formation requires the three of us Jindan to form it together. There is no way to divide the troops."
When Zhang Hei was in a dilemma, Liu Er smiled gently.
Guan Hong stroked his beard and said nothing.
Zhang Hei's face lit up with joy: "Since you are smiling, you must have come up with a good idea. Tell me quickly, tell me quickly."
Liu Er looked at Ning Zhuo and said, "It's not that I have a solution, but the military advisor does."
Ning Zhuo immediately knew what Liu Er was planning, so he said, "General Zhang is focused on training his troops, so he may not have noticed that I have also formed an army recently, and they are all mechanical puppets."
"Since we can't perform well in the Three Generals Camp, we usually go to the Red Flower Camp to use the open space there for training."
Zhang Hei was pleasantly surprised: "Is this true? According to the military advisor's ability, this military force must be very powerful!"
Ning Zhuo smiled bitterly: "General Zhang, you are too kind! The military is just a new organization and is not well trained. But I can lead an army and buy some time for the three adults."
Liu Er said, "In that case, I'll trouble the military advisor to deal with the enemy camp on the mountainside. My two brothers and I will work together to eliminate the enemy camp at the foot of the mountain as soon as possible."
Ning Zhuo thought about it for a moment and agreed.
Zhang Hei hesitated a little: "I see that the enemy camp on the mountainside is huge, three times the size of the one at the foot of the mountain, with flags everywhere, and is obviously much stronger than the one at the foot of the mountain."
"The military advisor is only a foundation-building cultivator after all. Can he defeat the enemy army by controlling the mechanical army alone?"
Ning Zhuo smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, General Zhang. There is no such thing as morale in my army. Even if we are defeated and collapse, as long as I can buy you some time to wipe out the enemy camp, I will consider it a success."
"Even if the loss is serious, don't forget that according to the contract, 30% of the spoils belong to me."
"I can buy up a large number of mechanical puppets and reorganize the army."
Zhang Hei said with a sigh, "Mechanical puppets are not living people, so it's convenient to assemble them."
The strategy was decided, so Ning Zhuo separated himself and took out almost all the mechanical dolls.
Under the astonished gaze of many soldiers, a mechanical army was quickly formed.
Ning Zhuo was in the army, emitting spiritual awareness.
After being projected and received by the Spiritual Mirror, the divine consciousness quickly took over 60% of the mechanical puppets. The remaining part was secretly controlled by Sun Lingtong.
The two of them joined forces to launch another battle.
Lightweight and swift! The effect of the previous training was immediately apparent, making the mechanical puppets lighter, their hands and feet lingering with light wind, and they were faster and more agile.
Ning Zhuo bowed to Liu Er, then disappeared.
The government troops marched lightly towards the mountain.
The three generals' camps launched a triangular arrow formation and rushed towards the enemy camp at the foot of the mountain.
Ning Zhuo's march went smoothly, and he couldn't help but wonder: although the enemy camp had a long-range attack, the arrows were sparse and there was not much pressure.
"Could it be that the enemy camp at the foot of the mountain is the main force?"
Just as Ning Zhuo was guessing, many people and horses rushed out from the enemy camp at the foot of the mountain.
The barbarians, demon cultivators, and devil cultivators were in chaos, barely forming a battle formation, but their numbers were so large that it was like a mountain torrent pouring out.
"Hahaha, are you dumbfounded? You've fallen into our trap!" The leading Jindan barbarian held a huge axe in each hand and laughed triumphantly.
It turned out that these barbarians thought they were insufficiently trained and only had the advantage of numbers, so they decided to split their forces.
The two military camps set up were one strong and one weak, one real and one fake. They also used some tricks to conceal the truth of the fake and the real.
The three battalions were weak in reconnaissance and suffered from being outnumbered by the enemy, so they fell into the trap.
The three generals' camps were caught off guard and were overwhelmed by the enemy's huge force, and their charge was halted.
"Not good. I have to get support as soon as possible." Ning Zhuo immediately dispatched the army to go down the mountain.
But at this moment, a group of soldiers rushed out from the enemy camp on the mountainside. The leader, a Jindan barbarian, held a spear and shouted, "You want support? Dream on!"
This group of enemies was very powerful and they charged into the army of mechanical puppets.
Both sides fought fiercely.
"We must fight quickly and decisively." Ning Zhuo sighed, revealed his figure, and cast the Five Elements magic.
The flames roared down and explosions continued.
The barbarians were stunned.
This was because Ning Zhuo didn't care and destroyed many mechanical puppets.
The barbarian Jindan enemy general was so angry that his eyes turned red. The death of the mechanical puppets was fine, but the key point was that the people they sacrificed were all members of the same tribe, all flesh and blood.
"Die, you despicable thief!"
The Jindan enemy general came to Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo sneered, stretched out his finger and pointed, and the gold-based magic was as fast as light and as fast as a gun, killing the golden elixir enemy general and forcing him to retreat in embarrassment.
The enemy general looked horrified.
All because Ning Zhuo was blessed with military strength, his combat power actually rose to the Golden Core level! Military Strategy - Warrior Recovery Technique!
The mechanical puppets are already being compiled. The more they die in vain, the stronger the blessing Ning Zhuo will receive.
He waved his sleeves, and another large amount of five elements magic covered the area.
The mechanical puppets died, and even more barbarians died.
Ning Zhuo has become stronger again!
The Barbarian Jindan noticed this and no longer had the will to fight: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!!"
