Chapter 267 Developing Cangbei, Mo Dao Shows His Power
In the land of Cangbei, wind and sand are raging, and the road is poor at sunset.

The scene of the desert stretches in all directions, boundless, the land here has been tortured by the scorching sun and drought to the outcrops of stubborn rocks.

The cracks are vertical and horizontal, and the fine yellow sand has been ravaged endlessly by the wind. Each grain has countless times of torture and helplessness, and the desolation and desolation are vividly displayed.

Here, life is hard to find, as if a life is forbidden, only occasionally wandering ghosts as companions.

If it weren't for the dilapidated city and the three big characters of Cangbei County in red on the boundary marker, no one would believe that this place used to be a county-level administrative region.

The barren world has stripped away the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the past without a trace.

Two years have passed since Yin and Yang were turned upside down and Hundred Ghosts Walked at Night. It seems that Cangbei County has not recovered from the catastrophe, but this is just the appearance that ordinary people see.

Fifty thousand Xia soldiers marched on the Cangbei Straight Road, which was still being repaired and maintained. Many of them were no strangers to this place, and they were accustomed to the desolation and desolation.

It's just because in the days when Zhou Bai didn't go south to expand the territory, the north of Cangshan Mountain was the training ground.

Escorting caravans time and time again, fighting against prairie bandits and cavalrymen of the Kingdom of Jin, he has long been very familiar with the "ghosts" here.

If you ask some of these experienced veterans whether Cangbei County can be inhabited and reclaimed, the answer must be yes.

Zhou Bai had announced the target of the battle, and everyone knew who the enemy was. The one hundred thousand golden cavalry were very powerful, but there was not much fear and tension on the faces of the soldiers of the Xia army.

Even in order to ease the relaxation, the military judge allowed to chat in a low voice at this time. This is the experience of the war, and there is a degree of relaxation.

A new soldier from Longfeng who joined the imperial army saw that everyone was talking and laughing freely, so he asked the question he cared about the most: "Head, the lord said that we won this battle, so he sealed more fields for us, is that right?" Really?"

"Don't ask your head. When the preacher was preaching the policy and military order, you didn't listen carefully when you saw it. Fengtian is right under our feet, and the entire Cangbei County will be sealed to the sergeant." Another veteran immediately slapped the recruit on the forehead and said harshly. .

"Here? This place is like a desert, desolate and dilapidated, can you farm?" The recruit was full of disbelief and shook his head again and again.

"What do you know, kid? It wasn't possible two years ago, but now the world has changed drastically, and the underground has returned to life. Now you see that there is no life but the surface."

"The Canglan River will soon connect to Cangbei. Just wait. If I can make great contributions and die in battle, I may ask the lord to grant me the land to protect this place." I took out a piece of moist soil, and there was a piece of plant rhizome in it.

Before the recruits could light up their eyes and scan the dead land, there was a sound of horseshoes in front of them. This was the return of the sentry who went out to check the military situation.

Chief Shi hurriedly rectified military discipline, and ended the pre-war relaxation time with short words: "Okay, if you can't be an officer, just think about how to kill the enemy and get promoted later. Sergeants are just the most basic, and I want to earn a few hundred dollars." Acres of land, at least sharp soldiers..."

At this time, in the middle of the marching team, Zhou Bai and a group of subordinates were also discussing Cangbei County.

"After two years of spiritual energy recovery and remaining yin energy, after the Taoist group and many land gods intervened, now Cangbei County has recovered [-]% of its vitality before the ghost disaster... I believe that as long as there is enough water, the imperial court can start the relocation plan. "

"If we mobilize the monks trained by various sects, especially Ling Zhifu, to concentrate on the restoration and intervention of Cangbei, it is expected that Cangbei will be like Cangnan within three years.

Listening to the report of a Taoist official, Zhou Bai nodded slightly: "After the Canglan River connects with the Ningjiang River, it will definitely go to the Cangshan Mountain and flow into the Cangbei. The mountain gods and water gods will cooperate. But the premise is that we win this battle with gold." People no longer dare to look south!"

Not long after the tone was set, a military emergency report came.

"Report, fifty miles ahead, there are large-scale sentry cavalry of golden men, and among them are eagle archers blocking our army's outpost investigation."

"Let Chu Kai teach these golden men a lesson, remember not to go deep."

"Report, within a hundred miles, there are many golden man shamans. They are summoning wolves and beasts, trying to attack our army formation."

"Li Yuan, lead the Taoist group to clear the obstacles, and send a letter to Zhenjun Shaoyuan, asking him to go to Yinshan."

One reward and one answer, Zhou Bai was extremely efficient, and counteracted the methods used by Jin Guo one by one.

In particular, the shaman of the Golden State tried to use extraordinary means to interfere with the war, which puzzled him a little.

Could it be that the support from the Black Emperor's lineage is so great that these shamans don't know the heights of the sky and the earth?
From ancient times to the present, the prosperity of the practice world is directly proportional to the prosperity of civilization, and the level of practice in the Central Plains will always be higher than that outside the region.

Even though the revival of spiritual qi is now global, the high-end combat power of the grassland monks will definitely not be as good as that of Xia Guo.

At best, they could only rely on the size of the kingdom and the number of shamans to fight a war of attrition, so Zhou Bai directly asked Shao Yuan to go to Yinshan.

Without Zhenjun Shaoyuan carrying the oppression of the Jin Kingdom, breaking into the Yin Mountain to destroy the ancestral temple, and only showing his face, most shamans of the three realms would not dare to leave the Yin Mountain.

Yinshan Mountain is not only where the dragon veins of the Kingdom of Jin are located, but also the gathering point of spiritual energy on the grassland. If something happens, the entire cultivation world of the Kingdom of Jin will suffer.

……

With [-] cavalry, plus the tribal cavalry recruited on the way back, the number of the Golden Army has exceeded [-].

Once there are more than [-] people, there are no boundaries, let alone [-] cavalry.

Thousands of billowing military flags publicize the splendor and vastness of its land and the mighty power of its army.

These strong soldiers who had just experienced the great victory of the Southern Expedition and established strong self-confidence in Liang Jun were all fierce and full of murderous aura.

Such a large army can destroy the country at any time, but Hu Yanhe is always a little uneasy.

At first, he thought it was due to the destruction of the northern capital and the turmoil of the dragon's veins, which caused the luck to be involved, but after the investigation situation reported by the sentry cavalry and the shaman, he somewhat understood that it was still the pressure brought by the opponent.

Why only bring 5 people?Did Xia Guo think that the battle on the grassland was the same as in the interior?
But then think of Zhou Bai's record, this "old friend" has been very successful in Dingzhou, and has never lost a single defeat since the incident.

At present, with [-] cavalry, if you want to defeat his [-] army, I am afraid that you really think you have this strength.

So no matter how clamorous and confident the tribal leaders were, Hu Yanhe maintained a prudent attitude and repeatedly ordered all the tribes to be cautious.

The [-] imperial troops, [-] cavalry, [-] subduing demons, and [-] cavalry are all elites, and everyone is a soldier.

After reviewing the relevant information about Dingxi's defeat at Menjuguan, Hu Yanhe's expression became more solemn. Obviously, the main factor for Dingxi's inability to occupy the border town was the failure of the military pawn confrontation.

Because of Jin's internal struggles, he has indeed lagged behind the martial arts revolution in the Central Plains, but he has not lost confidence. As a country on horseback, only the grassland people know the power of the cavalry corps.

In history, the Kingdom of Jin broke through the northern border many times. The reason why they could not occupy too much land was not that their cavalry was not good, but that the further south they fought, the more various terrains were mixed.

Fighting in the endless plains, if one hundred thousand cavalry were afraid of fifty thousand cavalry, then he would not be the golden king.

Come on, let's see if your infantry soldiers are better than this king's iron cavalry.

Just when Huyanhe was constantly rectifying the army and preparing to face the battle, Xia's army, which had already entered Cangbei County, suddenly slowed down.

After an in-depth investigation by sentry cavalry, it was discovered that these Xia people were actually stopping and stopping all the way to repair roads, cities, and canals.

They were not in a hurry, as if they didn't care that there were hundreds of thousands of gold troops waiting on the grassland.

After ten days like this, when Xia Jun finally walked halfway through Cangbei and arrived at Cangbei County City, the fifty thousand troops did not leave again.

In the past, Cangbei County used farming and animal husbandry in parallel. The south of the county was mainly farming, while the north was mainly grazing. This was determined by the geographical environment.

On the boundless Cangbei grassland, Hu Yanhe and his relatives rode horses galloping. They were dozens of miles away from the main camp, and there were hundreds of gazelles in front of them, fleeing desperately.

"Side, rush this way!"

"Shoot the head sheep."

"Don't shoot the lamb to death, the adult sheep will stay if you shoot the wound."

As the arrow rain whizzed, a number of yellow sheep died on the spot, and the entire army was wiped out in a short time.

Under the sharp arrows of Huyanhe's cavalry, none of the gazelles, known for their speed, could escape.

But this is also normal, just because they are the Jin Wang's personal army, Hu Yanhe's personal guards, and they can bend bows and shoot eagles, they are rare elites.

But before celebrating the successful hunting, the messenger rushed over.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Zhahe Qianhu on the front line, saying that Xiahou ordered the whole army to stop in Cangbei City, and did not say when to leave."

Hu Yanhe frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you found Huo Feiguang's Xia Qi?"

"No trace has been found yet, and the ministries are already trying their best to find it."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the heavy snow is coming, these Xia people will not be able to survive on the grassland where the white hair wind blows!"

The general's kind comfort gave Hu Yanhe inspiration, and he understood why Xia Jun was procrastinating.

Heavy snow and white hair wind can destroy the Xia cavalry who went deep alone, and they can also destroy his [-] cavalry!
Also, food...

Why did he want to come out to hunt? He wanted to share some of the logistical pressure. One hundred thousand cavalrymen ate horse chews, and the consumption of cattle and sheep was too appalling.

This is not Liangzhou. If they can, they will be fed by the enemy, and on the way back to the north, they have left behind a lot of luggage.

"Send an order to support five thousand cavalry to Zhahe, and tell him not to make small fuss, and must cut off the Xia army's logistics supply line."

"In addition, the tribes in the vicinity of [-] miles are all suspected of collaborating with the enemy. Do you know what to do?" Hu Yanhe looked at the general coldly and said.

"The general understands that the cattle and sheep of these tribes must be sent to the army, so as not to be used by the enemy."

By November [-]th, the Jin army surpassed Wanqi and went deep into Cangbei County, covering the entire territory militarily.

In order to protect the food road, Chu Kai led the newly expanded five thousand cavalry to attack many times, but the time was short and the cavalry strength was different. After losing thousands of cavalry, they could only retreat to the vicinity of Cangbei City.

Fortunately, the Taoist group was not suppressed by the shaman group, and the key military deployments could send back news in time, so that the Xia army in the city would not be blinded.

At this time, Cangbei City's military rations were only enough for [-] horsemen to ride for a month, but the Jin army's logistical pressure was even greater, and it could no longer last.

Both the monks of the two countries predicted that there would be heavy snow within half a month, and the war was imminent.

On November [-]th, Huo Feiguang led his troops to appear five hundred miles behind the main force of the Jin army. The Jin army was unable to encircle them and escaped.

For many days after that, Huo Feiguang appeared and disappeared, killing and wounding thousands of Jin soldiers, and escaped from the heavy encirclement.

Hu Yanhe didn't expect this lone cavalry to be so powerful, especially the five hundred dragon cavalry, it was almost unstoppable.

However, whenever the Jin army wanted to mobilize more main forces to encircle and suppress, the Xia army in Cangbei City would react upon hearing the news and go out of the city to attack.

After several times of tugging, Xia Jun was able to pick up a grain transportation convoy.

The Jin army was shaken internally, and the nobles in the rear of the Jin kingdom also talked about it after hearing the news. Could it be that the Jin king brought the main force to take a small cavalry force of 3000 men?

After destroying the northern capital, it is really a disgrace to pursue and destroy the army and lose generals.

The matter has developed to the present, and it is no longer just a matter of rescuing Wanyan Zonggu. Huyanhe must win a big victory to re-establish his prestige.

Jin Muqiang, he can not be weak.

On November [-]th, Huyanhe assembled the main force and advanced to the city of Cangbei, Xia Jun fought.

Earlier, for the sake of safety and fairness, when Cangbei City was used as a venue for transactions between the two countries, many gaps were deliberately opened in the city wall. In addition, Yin Qi eroded the city bricks, so Cangbei City could not hold on.

Of course, forcing the Jin army to come near Cangbei City has already achieved Zhou Bai's goal.

Although the battlefield on both sides is open, it is not an endless grassland, and the [-] cavalry will be greatly limited.

The sky was dark and oppressive, military spirits were boiling and colliding, and Xiezhi and Heilang fought close to each other amidst neighing.

It should have been more than half a month of testing, and the testing has long been over, and the two armies will come up to a decisive battle.

The [-] golden cavalry could not be spread out, and Qianhu Zhahe could only be ordered to lead [-] cavalry to attack, but its majestic power had already shocked Xia Jun.

The sergeants in the front row turned pale, and tightly held the large shield in their hands. In the battle in Cangnan, they had never seen such a huge cavalry corps attack.

"Block it! Stop it! After death, your family will be safe and you will live forever!"

Dong dong dong, the golden cavalry swept in like a storm, the majestic battle flag fluttered with the wind, and the [-] cavalry broke through like a moat, unstoppable.

The torrent rushed straight to the front of Xia Jun, and the deafening neighing and armored hooves triggered the transition between heaven and earth.

God arm bow, let go!
The overwhelming heavy arrows caused countless golden cavalry to fall, causing chaos, but the cavalry corps that had rushed up only stagnated for a moment, and they couldn't stop them after all.

bang bang bang~
Soon, the sound of wailing, screaming, and fighting was endless.

Under the tragic impact, even though Xia Jun in front was holding a big shield and wearing thick armor, he still couldn't stop it completely.

However, it is meaningful that thousands of elite Xia soldiers died on the spot. Their special iron shields mitigated the impact of the Jin army to the greatest extent.

"The Demon Volunteer Army!"

Zhou Bai looked serious, seized the opportunity when the impact slowed down, and gave an order in a deep voice.

The [-] Imperial Guards standing in the front all moved out of the way, followed by the [-] Demon Subduing soldiers wearing thick black armor, and their long-handled swords, which were ten feet long and weighed tens of catties, jumped out impressively.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Mo Dao Formation, Tu!" Five thousand crouching demons moved forward with their swords horizontally, and the murderous aura swept across.

Jin Qi, who was caught in the army, stood in front of Mo Dao, powerless to resist, and was bloody massacred.

The blade kept chopping off the horse's legs, killing the golden soldiers, and the sound of puffing into flesh and blood kept coming and going.

"No, what weapons are these!"

"Help me, they are demons from hell!"
