Chapter 779 The Logic of War in the World of Gods

Although on the whole, Zhao Changhe is probably her pawn in Ye Wuming.

But in this matter alone, she, Ye Wuming, was actually one of Zhao Changhe's chess pieces. Taking advantage of her position of being against Jiuyou, she played the chess piece willingly and with great care.

Every time the blind man thought about this, he felt an indescribable strange feeling. It seemed that he could see a man striding towards her in the wind, frost, snow and rain, trying to pull her down from the high clouds and pin her down on his throne. Down.

Xia Longyuan and the others didn't do it, but he was doing it.

However, even though he knew his thoughts, and there were even more filthy parts in his thoughts, the blind man still wanted to make this move, and looked at his performance with great expectation, hoping that he would not slip up.

This feeling is really weird.

On Zhao Changhe's side, the decisive battle was actually about to begin. This is indeed not a war that drags on for a long time. Although the scale is burning all over the world, no matter the victory or defeat, no matter which side the war is on, it will end quickly.

There are many things to say. In fact, Huangfu Qing and Zhao Changhe had been marching for many days at this time. Due to the fast speed of the Qingqi Long Drive, they had already detoured out of the Modong Grassland Corridor and entered the Mobei Plain.

Zhao Changhe didn't dare to use his overlooking eye to sense remotely, and Timur Bo'e and others over there also didn't dare to expand their consciousness randomly. Now everyone is not sure about the other party's specific movements. But it gave Zhao Changhe more advantages. The eagle master sent by Sisi could already see the shadows of mountains in the distance, and a corner of the holy mountain on the grassland had been revealed.

On the other hand, the eagles on Timur's side... were almost all roasted.

Including the Immortal God... With his level of cultivation that surpasses everyone else, he can completely see Zhao Changhe's side, but Zhao Changhe cannot see his situation. But Zhao Changhe, Zhuque Yue Hongling, never felt the feeling of being spied on, which meant that even the Immortal God had no spiritual sense to spy on them.

According to the information conveyed by Sanniang through the secret method of the Four Symbols Sect, the Immortal God is just using a weaker soul to contain her - judging from this, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that the injury of the Immortal God has not recovered yet. , worried about repeating the mistakes of the overseas war, and did not dare to randomly come to their position where there was a group of imperial realms on their way.

That's right, everyone has to rush to the Northern Expedition because of this.

Theoretically, Timur is blind at this moment and cannot grasp the movements of our army at all.

"However, this is misleading." Huangfu Qing had already made this conclusion to Zhao Changhe when they were galloping on the grassland a few days ago: "The collision between Timur and you that day was an intentional misleading."

"This is their home field. Even all the grassland ministries have been evacuated, and the water sources are all polluted. It is impossible for them to have no arrangements here. According to the attributes of the Immortal God, he should be the God of Nature, and is similar to our Five Elements. Every element we are looking for Every water source and even every blade of grass may be the eyes and ears of the Immortal God, which means they are always aware of our situation. "

Huangfu's love these days has more and more demonstrated the coach's ability and judgment, and Zhao Changhe agreed with her statement.

According to Timur's seven-injury fist method, it would be very uncomfortable for their army. After marching for so long, except for the two Monan tribes that we defeated at the beginning, everything was so vast that we couldn't even see shit. It was so depressing that people were going crazy.

Xue Canghai was almost exhausted these days. He originally thought that going out to the fortress would be a fierce battle, but it turned out that he was just here for shopping. I admire the vast sky and vast fields every day. It’s quite beautiful at first, but after more than ten days of continuous viewing, I feel like I’m going to explode.

It was just a shopping trip, but the key was that there was no food or water to drink.

There is obviously a storage box, but ordinary soldiers don't know it. A few high-ranking generals knew about it, but the commander-in-chief strictly ordered not to use it or even mention it.

So everyone was using the dry food and water bags they had brought with them when they set out, as well as the food they had looted from the first few Monan tribes that had been wiped out. Today, there is nothing to eat. An army of tens of thousands lives off the wild red deer and wolves they occasionally encounter on the grasslands. Is this a human life?

Especially the water, it is not that there is no need to drink, all water sources are polluted, but this is spring, and there is rain on the grassland from time to time. It’s such a tragedy that everyone has to rely on rainwater to survive... In the past, marching hated rain, but now they actually look forward to it.

After more than ten days, the morale of this army was incomparable to when it first came out of the fortress. Everyone looked wilted. The coach Huangfu was indifferent and would only use military methods to suppress them.

Fortunately, the places we passed by before were all grasslands, so the horses could eat directly, otherwise they might not have been able to march here... But even so, horses can't just eat weeds all the time, and there is no way to raise war horses like this!

However, in such a vast grassland, Timur's military orders could not be conveyed to every corner. Occasionally, they could still encounter some small tribes that had not left and were looted by the Han army. Basically, they relied on this to improve their lives. But this is not enough for the army. Everyone takes turns to share pitifully. The so-called "feeding on the enemy" shows that the gap between ideal and reality is too big.

I don’t know how the West Route Army solved the problem of food and grass. Maybe they were transporting food to the fortress there. In short, it couldn’t be as uncomfortable as the East Route Army. This woman here who is a head coach for the first time can really lead troops?

Not only the soldiers complained, many generals were also angry. Some people secretly complained to Zhao Changhe several times. Zhao Changhe just asked a question and then fell silent: "What can we do? Can food be conjured? This is a strategy of Timur that will hurt both sides. We can only compete with them to see who can endure longer."

That being said, if Timur wants to have an impact, it will be the end of nomadic life this year, but at least we have food to eat now. We are almost starving to death now, okay?

"Don't worry, according to this marching progress, we are almost at their sacred mountain..."

"But they may not protect the sacred mountain. If the mountain is empty, we will all starve to death there. Are we going to hunt tigers like Your Highness did in Beimang?"

"That's your Majesty's job, not your Highness. Thank you."

"..."

Zhao Changhe could only comfort: "Don't worry, the temple is very important to faith... The other party will not abandon the temple casually and let us go empty-handed."

"The faith of Changshengtian is not like that. They will not leave us such a clear attack point. The temple is really not that important to them!"

"Then what do you want to do?"

The generals looked at each other, cold, can't they withdraw the troops?

As expected, they looked north in panic. This battle should not have come at all.

Uh, no, didn't they say there was a storage box? Did they lie to us and it didn't exist at all?

"Marshal, Marshal!" A scout rode back from the front and reported excitedly from a distance: "Marshal, we found a small tribe cluster again!"

The surrounding soldiers were all excited after hearing this. Huangfu Qing waved his hand without thinking and said, "Go!"

Xue Canghai was the first to rush out with a knife. The tribe in the distance seemed to have discovered it and ran away like crazy. The Han army followed closely.

This is a rare improvement in life for everyone recently. It can even be said that many people come here specifically to find these small tribes. No one thinks too much.

On the contrary, the herdsmen sent by the Batu tribe to serve as guides were worried: "Marshal, we have been chasing scattered tribes like this, and we have unknowingly led the army to deviate from the established route and started to deviate to the west. It shouldn't be like this..."

Huangfu Qing nodded and said, "It's okay, I know. We don't have to go straight to the temple, it may not be of much significance. If we can find the enemy's large group to the west, it may be good..."

Before he finished speaking, Sisi's falconer hurried over: "Marshal, our eagles have discovered a large number of people, cattle and sheep in the distance, which is suspected to be a large tribe gathering place!"

This time, Huangfu Qing and Zhao Changhe looked at each other, and the generals around them, including many mature and prudent people, showed surprise.

There are a lot of cattle and sheep, which means that it is not an army, but a tribe, a large tribe.

When Timur withdrew the tribes, it was absolutely impossible to throw them all in one place. There was no place to support such a large number of people to live together. It could only be divided into several different areas for the settlement of super-large tribes.

Is this a case of a blind cat catching a dead mouse, chasing other scattered tribes and finding a huge settlement?

This is the first truly meaningful goal.

As long as this large tribe is broken, it can even be said that the basic strategy of this expedition to the frontier, "attacking the Hu people so that they cannot move south", has been achieved, and the results of the battle can be called "sweeping the ground and sweeping the holes".

Huangfu Qing said in a deep voice: "Let's explore again to see if there are any movements of the main force of the Northern Hu."

The Eagle Master said: "There are no military movements within hundreds of miles... but there are troops protecting the tribe, that's normal."

Suzaku was unmoved: "Wait for Xue Canghai's troops to return."

Not long after, Xue Canghai, who had been chasing the small tribe just now, returned happily: "General, I really saw the outline of a large tribe over there. In addition, we have scouted everywhere, and except for the direction of the tribe, there are no signs of any military presence in the surrounding areas."

"What about the number of tribal troops?"

"We dare not approach, we are not sure."

Suzaku asked the Eagle Master: "What did you see?"

Eagles cannot tell the difference between ordinary herdsmen and the army, so the Eagle Master could only shake his head.

Xue Canghai said: "General, no matter how many troops the other side has, we can't bypass the large tribe and turn a blind eye. This battle is imperative, otherwise the morale of the army will collapse."

Suzaku was still silent.

Xue Canghai wiped his beloved Blood Magic Sword with a cloth, looked sideways at Huangfu Qing, and then at Zhao Changhe, but hesitated to speak.

Forget it, I was beaten so badly by this woman in the capital over the past few days to avenge her, so it was better not to say anything.

But no matter how silent he was, everyone could see the ridicule in his eyes. He was obviously chasing other tribes and met the big tribe by chance. It was just luck. The main force of Beihu? The main force is in the direction of the Holy Mountain. We are all in a different direction here. It is not the same road at all. This is still suspicious and timid. How can you be Suzaku?

Huangfu Qing was silent for a moment, and whispered to the scout: "What other geographical features are there around?"

The scout said: "There is a barren mountain in the north, which is quite large, but there is no place to hide people."

Huangfu Qing nodded: "Don't go directly to the other tribe from this path, be careful of traps. The whole army will take a detour, go around the barren mountain in the north, and follow the mountain."

Xue Canghai's eyes lit up: "What the Marshal means is..."

Huangfu Qing took a deep breath: "Of course the whole army will attack, we will eat here tonight!"

"Boom boom!" The sound of horse hooves rang out in the ecstasy of the three armies, and even the earth was shaking.

On the top of the barren mountain, Bo'e coldly watched the Han army rushing towards his position like crazy, with a smile on his face.

"Huangfu Qing is cautious, but it's meaningless." Bo'e turned around and chuckled to the shamans around him: "When it comes to war, she is still too green, like a young girl who has just started."

The shamans all laughed: "The true and false changes of the gods have been playing for more than ten days. Now everyone will only think that it is a chase encounter... It's not easy to see the tribes gathering together. Even if she wants to endure it, Xue Canghai and his gang can't help it."

Another shaman said: "It's not their fault. They think they have eagles controlling the sky, and we can't see what they are doing. In fact, all their actions Everything is under our control, but they don't know what we are doing. The advent of the gods has long been different from the war mode of previous years. It's ridiculous that they have three Yujing in their army, but they haven't woken up yet. "

"The gap between the first and second levels of Yujing is no smaller than the gap between the secret and the entrance. Xia Longyuan's deterrence was high back then, because he was in the second level, and in the late stage. Zhao Changhe, Huangfu Qing, and Yue Hongling are far from qualified. "

While speaking, Huangfu Qing led the people to the foot of the mountain, and vaguely saw the tribe in the distance in the west appear at the end of the horizon.

Huangfu Qing suddenly reached out to stop the army, squinting his eyes for a long time: "Slow down for now, scouts explore this mountain first."

Bo'e laughed and said: "It's still cautious. Let's go."

There is nothing on the mountain... The real trap is in the "tribe" in the distance. The tribe in the distance is at least 100,000 people, but there are no herdsmen at all. They are all elite. Putting a group of cattle and sheep there is just to deceive the eyes of eagles and falcons, waiting for them to think they meet by chance and rush in.

Once the Han army rashly charged into the so-called "big tribe", they would immediately find themselves trapped in a vast sea of ​​grassland elites.

And, they did not move the tribes along the way at all, and there was no so-called Seven Injury Fist at all.

That was the effect of the page of the Heavenly Book of the Immortal God, existence and non-existence, virtuality and reality, truth and illusion. Everything seen along the way was false. In fact, countless tribes along the way watched the Han army pass through under their noses, studying the water that was not polluted at all.

Then throw out some abandoned pieces, constantly attract them to chase, and lead them into the established trap all the way. And in fact, at this moment, the tribes along the way have also gathered into an army, always far behind the Han army, ready to give them a fatal pincer attack.

In fact, this is not the main force, only tens of thousands of people. To deal with a light cavalry, as long as they are trapped, there is no need for the main force. After Timur and Zhao Changhe met and misled them, they had already led the crowd westward. The real main force was still on Huangfu Yongxian's side.

Zhao Changhe's judgment seemed to be all wrong, not a single one was right. It seems that the outcome of this battle is known without fighting.

Of course, we can't be careless...Bo'e still made the greatest inducement.

"Boom!" Thunder fell from the sky and struck the entire Han army.

"Clang!" Zhao Changhe's Dragon Bird was unsheathed and swept through the army.

The half-moon slashing blade, which was countless times larger than in the early years, swept out and dissolved all the thunder.

Bo'e's "frightened" voice came: "Shouldn't you go straight to the temple? Why did you deviate to this place!"

Zhao Changhe laughed and responded: "This is the protagonist's luck. It's not easy to be a great shaman. You are alert before we get there. How many tribes have you been distracted to protect."

As the voice sounded, Yue Hongling also unsheathed her long sword and chased after Bo'e's voice: "Why doesn't the great shaman show up and continue the battle of Chang'an between you and me?"

Zhao Changhe also left the battle with her to chase Bo'e. Suzaku did not move, and continued to lead the army, seemingly going straight to the tribe in the distance that had lost the protection of the great shaman.

"Dang!" Zhao Changhe and his wife finally caught up with the figure flying in the air. The figure pulled out an axe and blocked the attack of the two people at the same time. The violent power surged, and the young couple actually fell in the air at the same time. They stopped in shock and looked up.

The man was naked, tall and mighty, with a rough and resolute face, and his bronze skin seemed to have a divine luster. The golden belt bound his forehead, his eyes were bright, and the majesty and pressure in his eyes were like the first time Zhao Changhe saw Jiuyou in the dark alleys of Chang'an.

This strange pressure, strange divine feeling... This is not Bo'e at all.

This is the true body of the Immortal God, the first time I see it.

Zhao Changhe was shocked: "It's you... Where is Bo'e?"

The rough face of the God of Immortality showed a trace of mockery: "Of course he is leading the crowd to spread the net, waiting for the Suzaku Venerable to step in."

Zhao Changhe seemed to be about to turn around and return, but the God of Immortality paused his axe, and the surrounding thunder formed a prison, trapping Zhao Yue and the other two in it: "Stay."

Zhao Changhe took a deep breath: "Are you healed?"

"I really haven't recovered, this is your chance to march north." The God of Immortality smiled mockingly: "But within my range, my The strength will only be stronger than when it is at its peak. Even Xia Longyuan doesn't dare to come to attack my holy mountain, how dare you? "

Zhao Changhe's expression gradually calmed down: "In other words, in fact, your so-called weaker clone is still misleading us and leading us to the current death place."

"That's right." Changsheng Tianshen said lightly: "Watching you rushing to your death, I feel complicated. To be honest, I don't like to use tricks, but you are too suicidal, which is really ridiculous. Then... leave your life. "

“Bang!” The giant axe was swung out, and Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling used their swords and knives together to block the attack.

Then, as if they could not withstand the power of the second level of the opponent’s realm, both of them leaned back.

But the smile of the God of Immortality was a little stiff: “This power is…”

A Tai Chi shadow appeared under their feet without any warning, like a millstone to help Zhao Yue and the others to wear down the fierce and unmatched power of the God of Immortality. Not only that, it seemed that the God of Immortality could not move, as if he was trapped in a quagmire.

At the same time, a soldier in the army shot out like a meteor, and the wind and thunder roared, and hit the back of the God of Immortality.

Li Shentong!

Zhao Changhe, who was forced to lean back, slowly pushed forward the axe and chuckled softly, "Your Excellency has the Book of Reality and Falsehood, I have cheated and known it a long time ago... Since you know it, guess how much we have been cooperating with you along the way? For example, right now, do you think we left the army to chase you, or do we want to drag you outside?"
