Lord of Time!

Chapter 178

"My lord, Yuanxi County's hearts are not attached, so it's not worth taking the risk to save it. The subordinates have a plan to offer, but they can break the Plum Blossom Army without any effort, and add another general for the lord."

Although Yuan Qiu is not very good in moral character, he is indeed not to be picked on in terms of talent and learning.

In order to save his life, this man has indeed done his best since he joined Chen Ping. In less than a month, he has standardized and rectified all walks of life in Xingqing Mansion into an orderly manner.

From the perspective of others, it has both thunderous means and the heart of a bodhisattva, and it has implemented some of Chen Ping's ideas very well.

Moreover, Yuan Qiu is ten times bolder than those humble scholars who were promoted from the Xingqing Mansion. When governing, relying on the new army trained by Hu Yong, there is no taboo. The taste is inside.

Of course, means are only methods, and the goal is actually peace.

What Chen Ping was most satisfied with was that this guy was vicious and sophisticated, but at the same time, he didn't forget to help himself, the general of the Xingqing Mansion, to make a name for himself.

To put it bluntly, Yuan Qiu's reputation in Xingqing prefecture is considered poor. Many people secretly said that this guy is a vicious dog.

However, Chen Ping's reputation is absolutely bright.

Walking to the street, there were people crying bitterly, thanking Dade for coming to see him.

To be able to do this is very rare. ,

Sometimes Chen Ping would think.

If the thirteenth prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty hadn't met himself, and hadn't been beheaded in the remote mountains and deep valleys the day before he got the Canglong Seal...

After he gains momentum, it is very likely that with the help of his civil servants and generals, he will make the eight prefectures and eleven counties in the south of the Yangtze River have no fighting spirit, and the sense of family and country will be weak.

It is really possible to be beaten down by the army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Those who surrendered were definitely ten times more than those who died in battle.

Therefore, although now Chen Ping has attracted some down-and-out literati to join him by relying on the Canglong Seal and his reputation of winning many battles, and there are also a few powerful literati among them, Chen Ping still prefers the original Autumn's way of doing things.

This time the initiative to attack, the main focus is a fierce aggression, to fight fast, to destroy the crazy arrogance of the Dongmu Army's three-way soldiers and horses, and it is inevitable that they will not be able to confront the army in an upright manner. Ask for advice.

"What's Mr. Yuan's plan? Let's talk about it. If you can break this formation, it will be credited to you."

Through the mist, when Chen Ping saw the shadow of the city of Yuanxi County with the eyes of a little blue bird flying in the sky, Chen Ping waved his hand, and the five thousand riders stopped.

With the help of the little blue bird's unique perspective, he saw that the Qingjiang River meanders, the fields are verdant and green, and on a flat plain, there are dark army formations, as well as the panicked and noisy scene in Yuanxi City.

At this time, Tanma returned.

A cavalryman, dressed in leather armor, with two arrows stuck in his body, came galloping. Seeing the cavalry formation, he quickly rolled off his horse and fell to the ground. After tentatively attacking the city once, it was almost broken.

Also, Wei Fangji of Yuanxi County led [-] cavalry out of the city to invite a battle, Mei Yu rode out alone, but the fight could not be more than one round, stabbing Fang Ji to death, breaking the [-] cavalry.I heard that there are only five hundred people who fled into the city..."

No wonder, the people in the city were panicked, and they didn't even have the will to fight.

However, it can be seen from Xiao Qingniao's sight just now that there are at least [-] to [-] armored soldiers in the city, and there are countless other civilians.

The military strength of Yuanxi County is actually not weak. If one is determined to defend the city, facing the Dongmu army's attack, it will not be a problem to block it for two or three days.

"I remember that when Wu Tongzhi of Xingqing Prefecture issued the anti-theft document, Yuanxi County responded. That time, when I passed by this county, the city's soldiers and horses were considered elite."

Chen Ping recalled that day when he passed by here with a pretty face, not only was he attacked by the old man Zhao sent by Chunshui Sword, but afterward, he was surrounded and killed by people from all walks of life and the soldiers in the city, and finally killed many people before rushing out of the city Go, live in the wilderness.

It can be seen from this that the ideological tendency of the county magistrate of Yuanxi is very problematic.

"That's right, Zhao Shicheng, Yuanxi county magistrate, has been flirting with Northern Zhou's thirteen princes for a long time. Not only him, but also the three big households and two commercial firms in the city are all connected with the Zhao family.

They don't want to join the Dongmu Army because they see through Duke Dong. No matter how powerful the army is, they can't get rid of the trick of bandits. Life is hard to save, therefore, it is inevitable to resist desperately. "

Yuan Qiu chatted eloquently, paused, and said: "Zhao Shicheng still has some talents, especially good at reciting poems and fighting against each other... However, this person looks down on the reckless people in the rivers and lakes, and still ignores the coolies of the Qingshui Gang who make a living. "

"How to say?"

Chen Ping became interested.

"Although the Qingshui gang is not very expert, the gang leader and deputy gang leader have only practiced three or four meridians, but this gang has a large number of people, and there are quite a few people from the rivers and lakes who are dissatisfied with the government hiding in it. Siege, they are the biggest hidden danger."

"what do you mean?"

"My lord sent Hunyuan Wuguan Wei Chi to take over Yuanxi's army. In fact, he didn't do that. As soon as he arrived in Yuanxi County, he was put under control. Although he was not killed, he couldn't move a single step. However, Two days ago, this person sent a letter saying that he had already controlled the waterway in the north of the city..."

Chen Ping has been busy with a lot of things during this time.

The main focus was on the interior of Xingqing Prefecture. The thirteen surrounding counties only issued orders to mobilize soldiers, provide food and grass, and also sent thirteen Hunyuan Martial Arts disciples to control the strength of the soldiers.

Among the thirteen county towns, only Wang Kai and Wu Qingshan from Luoqiao County wrote to them, saying that they had taken office and controlled most of the troops.The remaining [-] counties ignored it, and the grain and soldiers did not arrive.

For example, Wei Chi, Wang Kai, Wu Qingshan and others are excellent disciples selected by Chen Ping himself from dozens of disciples from outside the Hunyuan Martial Arts Academy.

Under his personal teaching, a total of eight outer sect disciples have been promoted from the middle stage of Hunyuan Iron Body to the stage of Iron Body Dacheng. They are considered to be strong in muscles and bones, vigorous in blood, and can lead troops in battle with a little experience.

After Chen Ping asked his master for instructions, he promoted these eight outer disciples to become personal disciples, and also sent his five senior brothers.

In his vision, the time to seize Xingqing is still short, and there are not many close candidates. The most trustworthy ones are of course the Hunyuan family. With Han Wushang and Sima Rou guarding them, these people are more or less reliable.

As long as the force is acceptable, Chen Ping is of course willing to let go.

Just for a while.

When the original Changkong Martial Arts disciples and Fenglei and Shifang Martial Arts disciples will gradually choose the masters as generals, this has to be done step by step.

Of course, it's not that Chen Ping prefers these martial arts disciples.

But in this era, those who can spend money to go to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts have some spare money at home, at least, occasionally, they can still eat meat.

Moreover, most of the martial arts disciples can read.

Their character and morality, taught by the martial arts master, will never go anywhere.

Compared with those gangsters in Jianghu who spend their whole day killing, arson, and stealing, they are much better.

As for the servants and cronies of the wealthy families, there are also some talents that Chen Ping dare not use for the time being.

When your foundation is not solid, once you use these people, you don't know who they will be loyal to.

"You mean, sneak into the city?"

Chen Ping roughly understood what Yuan Qiu's plan was.

To put it bluntly, it is actually worthless.

Now outside the city, General Baimei led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, forming a square formation without moving lightly.

If my [-] riders fight head-on, it is not impossible to win. Even if I can win, I will probably suffer heavy losses if I fight more with less.

Of course, if Ci doesn't lead the army, one or two thousand cavalry will die, as long as the battle is won, even two or three thousand cavalry will be fine.

Gathering up the remnants and surrendering the generals afterwards is still profitable.

However, the account is not calculated in this way. Now that I have just laid the foundation, the number of soldiers, especially the elite soldiers, is really too small.

Regardless of the total number of troops reaching [-] to [-], in fact, half of them are new recruits.

Having seen bloody soldiers and horses with combat effectiveness after training, it would be pretty good to pick out [-] soldiers and horses.

Thousands of losses were lost in the First World War. For Chen Ping, the loss was very cruel. If not, the morale of the army will be slightly shaken. In the future, it will take a lot of time and energy to train and brainwash the troops. Why bother?
Therefore, he not only wants to win, but also wins completely.

The best strategy is to fight more and more of the elite soldiers under your command, and get stronger as you fight, with as little damage as possible.

"That's right, just sneak into the city, don't go to the big formation, just fight with the small formation. With the master's ability, it is extremely easy to capture or kill General Baimei."

Yuan Qiu bowed solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "The reason why the Dongmu Army's four spirits and eight generals are so famous is because these twelve generals are very proficient in the formation of the army, and have reached the second-level understanding of the formation.

If the lord really wants to use five thousand cavalry to attack the big formation, it will be difficult to win quickly, and it will be inevitable to use a strange plan to get a surprise soldier. The first battle is a matter of great importance, and the lord please think twice before acting. "

Chen Ping's heart trembled.

It's not like he didn't think about it just now, using battle instead of training, first fight with the opponent for a big battle, if he sees an opportunity, he will directly crush and kill him, see that the situation is overwhelming, and the loss is too great, then withdraw and think about him Law.

When Yuan Qiu said this, he looked back at the disciples below Han Xiaoru and the murderous cavalry, seeing the eagerness and excitement on their faces, he felt a little complicated.

'These people really trust me and believe that I can lead them to victory, but they are not in a hurry to train.At least, it shouldn't be damaged when I personally lead the troops into battle. '

What Yuan Qiu said was the second-level communication realm of Yunzhen.

Now Chen Ping naturally understood.

This side of the world is fighting on the battlefield, not only has the art of uniting horses and horses, but also has the foundation of increasing the strength and endurance of horses with true qi and blood.

After forming a large formation, the main general will be able to condense his military spirit, increase his own combat power, and be able to face opponents who are several levels higher than himself.This is the best way to deal with master warriors.

Because the imperial court here did not have much control over the formation of the army, everyone would set up a large formation, and even bandits and bandits would use one or two incomplete formations to greatly increase their combat power.

Especially since the successive years of war, as long as they are born in the army, they can basically master formations and can practice their own formations.

Those with weaker battle formations, like Zhang Lianshan, the captain of Xuanwuwei at the time, only reached the level of Qi gathering.

In other words, it is possible to gather the blood and energy of the troops under your command and rush forward.

Not too flexible to use.

The main increase in combat power is only on the main general.

On that day, Chen Ping rode alone into the formation and fought several tricks with Zhang Lianshan. His cavalry and army formation basically did not pose any threat to Chen Ping.

After killing the general, the cavalry was surrendered directly.

The second level of fortune formation is Jiang Wuji and Jiang Yuantong father and son who met at the foot of Hunyuan Mountain.

Jiang Yuan led three thousand riders to run the green wood lock dragon formation, and the level of the formation was raised to a higher level, reaching the level of communication.

The master general can not only gather the qi, blood and inner qi of soldiers from all directions, but also communicate with each other and form formations according to his heart...Three thousand cavalry are like tentacles, one advances and the other retreats, locking Chen Ping to death.

If it hadn't been for Chen Ping's first sneak attack, the opponent's formation had not had time to fully function, and they would probably have to be surrounded in the middle, fighting for consumption and endurance.

Or, destroy the formation as a whole, making the opponent's formation incomplete.

Or, Chen Ping was beaten so weak that he was directly trapped and killed.

This is the function of communication, which is extremely flexible.

The Four Spirits and Eight Generals are also at this level. Jiang Yuantong himself, because he is the younger brother of the Eastern Heavenly King, has not yet reached the level of the Four Spirits and Eight Generals in terms of military training. It is only because of his status that he has led the Eastern Heavenly King Jiang Yuanhao's personal soldiers to follow him. My old father came out to do errands, so he was not considered a powerful general.

Baimei's skill in formation has reached a satisfactory level, and there are more than [-] cavalry pawns trained by herself under her command, forming a plum blossom formation. Chen Ping thought to himself that with his current strength, it's not impossible to fight recklessly, but he didn't. With complete assurance, you can protect your cavalry.

On this point, he still knows a lot.

Because, strictly speaking, his own luck level is only at the general level.

This is also because of the blessing of the Mosang Dragon Seal.

Otherwise, it can only be similar to Han Xiaoru. It would be good to be able to gather energy to bless the formation and lead the troops to charge directly.

However, Chen Ping discovered that Han Xiaoru, a big girl, was naturally keen on military formations.

Now the leader has commanded very smoothly, and it is likely that he has touched the threshold of understanding.

In this regard, compared with Zhang Gu, the big brother of Hunyuan Martial Arts, and Li Yanguang, the big brother of Changfeng Martial Arts, he is stronger.

Even, compared to Hu Yong, who is good at training soldiers, he is much stronger.

It can only be said that some people are natural leaders and wizards, and there is not much reason to talk about talent.

"It's nothing more than the four spirits and eight generals. The Dongmu army gathered the crowd with the flag. Because of the short time and insufficient background, they have not trained any famous generals. The most troublesome thing is Cui Huchen. This person is not only unpredictable in strength, but also the leader of the army. Combat is even more sophisticated and powerful, and his level of military formation has reached the level of [eight directions] when he was still in the northern border."

Yuan Qiu sighed.

I only hope that old Mr. Cui has really been raised at home all these years, practicing martial arts seriously, and not paying attention to military affairs.

Otherwise, if the level of this person's army reaches the fourth level [Heaven and Earth], it will be really difficult to resist.

Cui Huchen led the Cui family's army to come, and they were still far away. Chen Ping inquired about the news from many sources, and he naturally knew that the old guy's military formation had reached the level of the eight directions. Xiuwei, distributed in all directions, any front arrow generals and soldiers.

With the formation level of eight directions, it is basically impossible for anyone who wants to attack the weakness of his formation.

The strongest point can be turned into the weakest point at any time, and the weakest point can also be turned into the strongest point.

The air flow of the army is flowing, supported by all directions. Just think about it and you will know that this kind of army formation is very difficult to attack and fight.

"Bafang? What about Yu Wenzhao, did Mr. Yuan know about it?"

Chen Ping suddenly thought of a question.

This Uncle Huqi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty dared to attack Jiangnan directly when he led three thousand Benlangqi back then. He must not have lost his mind.

What is his level of leadership?
"Hard to say."

Yuan Qiu was silent for a while.

The fourth level of luck is the [Heaven and Earth] realm. The military energy can not only flow freely in all directions, but also draw the vitality of the world and increase the entire army formation. Attack power and defense.

Just imagine, everyone in the entire army can draw the vitality of heaven and earth, how strong will the vitality gathered in the end be?
The cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was known as "full and invincible", but in fact it was the record of several famous generals in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Unfortunately, this Yu Wenzhao happened to be a famous general.

Now that a hundred thousand wolves are riding south, he has enough soldiers and food, not to mention his own strength, but the strength of the leader is frighteningly strong.

For a while, Yuan Qiu didn't feel like talking anymore, and changed the subject with difficulty.

"My lord, if we can win this battle completely, eat the Eastern Prince's vanguard army, and then deal with the Cui family's elite, we will have the capital to fight the first battle. At that time, we will be able to deal with the wolf cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

From these words, Yuan Qiu's pessimism can be heard.

Presumably, when he voted for Northern Zhou, apart from his hatred and disappointment towards the Dali Dynasty, there was also a reason, that is, he saw the strength of Northern Zhou.

It is very likely that in his heart, the Northern Zhou wolf cavalry is invincible.

This point, even if he didn't say it, Chen Ping knew it very well.

Chen Ping chuckled, through the eyes of the little blue bird, he had already seen that the Baimei army with ants attacking the city had gained the upper hand, and there were a few streams of people in the city moving in an abnormal direction, and he knew that the time had come.

He shouted in a deep voice: "The Pofeng Cavalry will fight with me... Senior Sister, you lead the rest of the soldiers and horses to wait and see at any time. If you see the Baimei Army's formation in chaos, charge immediately."

There are a total of 200 Breaking Front Riders, including 48 masters of the Hunyuan sect selected by Chen Ping.

The strongest are Sun Yun and Yu Zhixian, who are close to consummation of the innate golden body, and the weakest is Xiao Yangtao, who can break through the silver body state.

Under Chen Ping's promotion with the unique Dao Seed + Star Power package, everyone's cultivation base has made great progress.

In addition to these 48 people, there are also the disciples of the major martial arts gyms accepted by the Xingqing Mansion, Cheng Wuduan, an innate master, the remaining 49 masters at the level of opening the strange scriptures, and 102 masters who have completed the twelve classics.

This time, apart from Han Wushang and Sima Rou who were in charge of Xingqing Mansion, and Shang Yinzhang maintaining law and order in the city, there was no slight movement.

It can be said that Chen Ping has brought all the masters under his command.

This battle is not only to win, but also to allow these masters to experience a lot of battles and have a good experience.

To be a general in the future, so as not to be in a hurry.

A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.

It can be said that Chen Ping led these 200 people into the city in the hope of training a group of fierce generals.

"Master, why don't you go with Senior Sister Han?"

Chen Ping turned his head to look at Sun Yun, and asked a question tentatively.

"Girl Han is more than enough to protect herself. Her side is not too dangerous. I'd better go to the city to fight against General Baimei. There is no great master in this world who has not experienced battles. I still want to lead the army to fight for another 50 years."

After Sun Yun moved to be the elder of Hunyuanzong's Chuangong, he didn't know which nerve was affected, but in his seventy-seventh year, he aroused his iron-blooded fighting spirit.

Every day is like fighting with chicken blood, fighting with this and fighting with that.

This time, he wanted to lead the army.

"Perhaps, I have misjudged him for so many years. He is not suitable for dealing with too complicated things. He likes to go straight and fight in blood. That's fine too. '

Chen Ping smiled, "Then, go to the city and face the Baimei army."

Two hundred horsemen and horses rolled over like a gust of wind, and rushed around the city until they reached the bank of the Qingjiang River in the north. There were already more than [-] people waiting here.

The leader is none other than Hunyuan Martial Arts disciple Wei Chi.

At this time, this black-faced young man in his twenties had a look of exhaustion and fatigue between his brows and eyes, but his eyes were murderous. Obviously, these days in Yuanxi City were very uncomfortable, and he was full of suffocation. pickle gas.

When he saw Chen Ping, he quickly bowed down, and more than [-] people behind him also hurriedly knelt down.

"The last general, Wei Chi, pays homage to the lord."

"No courtesy, no delay, Junior Brother Wei, you will lead the way ahead and capture the North City Gate with your ancestor and others."

"Yes, my lord."

Wei Chi took a long breath, and saluted Sun Yun and others. At that moment, more than thirty people approached the city, biting steel knives and long swords, plunged into the water, passed through the water inlet, and entered the city directly.

Chen Ping arranged for Sun Yun to lead more than a dozen masters to rush into the city with Wei Chi and others, open the city gate, let his own cavalry enter the city, avoid fighting with the Baimei army, and use his own strength to attack the enemy's weakness.

Not long after the city was broken, Bai Mei and Mei Yu couldn't set up the big formation in the city immediately, he couldn't set up the formation at all.

When the cavalry army dispersed, it was time for Chen Ping to attack.

At this moment, at the south city gate, the door was opened with a bang, and the Baimei army's cavalry rushed in like the wind. There was a loud cry in the city, and there were wailing and weeping everywhere at the sound of hooves.

Immediately afterwards, soon, fires were ignited everywhere, thick smoke rose to the sky, and amidst the sound of killing, everything seemed like hell.

……

Ask for a monthly pass.
