Dark Fairy

Chapter 314 Uneasy
To the south of Hong Chao is the city of Dead Leaf in Tianfeng Plain.

This was originally the largest city in the Tianfeng Plain, and it was also an important transportation location in the plain, extending in all directions to connect the Tianfeng Plain with the north and south.It also stabilizes the fertile lands thousands of miles around.There are more than [-] troops stationed all year round, scattered around.

Today's Tianfeng Plain is no longer the treasured granary of the past, nor is it a peaceful and peaceful place to live and work in peace.

With the solid walls and clear fields, and the fires that burned the plains, not only are there few people in the whole plain, but even the wild animals are almost extinct.

The forts and military fortresses were like blades and sharp teeth standing on the bare ground, all facing the south, waiting for the coming of a bloody storm.

Li Youjun was in a military fortress eighty miles east of Dead Leaf City. He stood behind the female wall of the military fort and patted the wall. There was obvious mana fluctuation feedback in the thick and solid structure, which showed that the high wall he was standing on was It was a fortification embedded with a magic circle, which gave Li Youjun a little more confidence.

After the previous defeat at the front line of Pengshan City, Li Youjun followed a partial army and retreated northward to Tianfeng Plain.The journey went smoothly. After arriving at Tianfeng Plain, he was mobilized and reassigned by the imperial edict of Yun Sect. This also allowed Li Youjun to bid farewell to the group of comrades who had been through life and death, including being seriously injured in a row later, and he had only one breath left. Lao He.

It was only later that Li Youjun found out that it was the Emperor Yunzong who was adjusting the number of Profound Vein Realm Qi trainers in each of the military forts.At the same time, the Qi trainers who were seriously injured in the previous battle were replaced to rest in the back.

The place where Li Youjun is now is called Heba Bingbao. The word "Heba" did not originally exist, but was taken after the fort was built.Because there is a small river five or six feet wide on the side, and this is the eighth fort along the river, so it is named "Heba".

Li Youjun was not the only one in the Xuanmai realm in the Heba Military Fortress, nor was he even the highest in cultivation.Also stationed here are two outer sect brothers from the Imperial Sect Yun Sect. Although Li Youjun is not very familiar with them, he still knows their names. Both of them are in the middle stage of the Mysterious Meridian Realm.

"Junior Brother Li, the city walls here are all arranged by the formation masters in the sect. Although the time is tight, the strength is still guaranteed. It is definitely much stronger than the military fortresses you used to be on the front line of Pengshan City."

"Senior Brother Liu, you said that the barbarians have clearly taken over the front line of Pengshan City, why did they stall again? Logically speaking, they did not consume too many troops in Pengshan City before, right?" Li Youjun asked someone beside him. the short man asked.

"Who knows? You and I are just cultivators, not lieutenant generals in the army, and we only know a little about military matters. In addition, the Yunyan barbarians have always been full of tricks. There must be a conspiracy in them staying on the front line of Pengshan City and not continuing to go north. It's just that We just can’t think clearly.

However, the Tianfeng Plain is the only way to enter the interior of the kingdom. As long as we guard this side, and add the strategy of burning the plain on the plain and fortifying the wall to clear the wilderness, I believe we will be able to drag those barbarians here.As long as it can be delayed for another half a year or a year, Yunyan Barbarian will definitely retreat! "

Li Youjun also nodded after hearing this. Senior Brother Liu's words were very popular in Tianfeng Plain, and almost everyone thought so.Because of the special geographical location of the Tianfeng Plain, it is sandwiched between the branches of the Pengshan Mountains that branch off from the main line of the Tianduan Mountains. There is also a naturally dangerous Bodaoling Mountains to the west, and to the east is the neighboring country, forming a huge and broad road. Smooth avenue.This is also the reason why during the previous Yunyan disasters, we could capture Pengshan City and break into the Tianfeng Plains to fight all the way to the capital Sunning.

As long as we hold on to the Tianfeng Plain, we can wait for work and wait for Yunyan's army to charge into the formation.

"Having said that, it is indeed suspicious that Yunyan Barbarian is so stagnant. Did Senior Brother Liu get any speculation from the army?"

"No. The last few times we have been to the camp, we have been assigned defensive tasks, and we have listened to our opinions and focused on defending the weak points of the high wall formation. We have also made arrangements based on the strength of the Yunyan Qi Practitioners we encountered in previous battles. If you really want to talk about the military strategy, you still don't mention a word. I guess there is no military strategy, and they are all just waiting to block it.

As for what happened to Yunyan, no one in the army seems to care about it now. "

Li Youjun frowned slightly after hearing this.He always feels that he is in front of his face, and if he has no idea what his opponent is thinking, how should he respond if his opponent comes up with a strange move?Even if that seems unlikely at the moment.But you can’t really just ignore it, right?

"Maybe it's accumulating strength or stockpiling food." The brother surnamed Liu added.Then he said, "When Pengshan City fell, they also burned food and grass, and there were not many things that fell into the hands of the Yunyan barbarians. They should know our strategy in the Tianfeng Plain, so they didn't dare to come in rashly. Reasonable."

Li Youjun didn't nod his head either, he had to admit that Senior Brother Liu's statement was reasonable.But he always has a kind of uneasiness in his heart.

Probably seeing Li Youjun's thoughts, Senior Brother Liu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Junior Brother Li, did you know that someone from the inner sect also came this time?"

"Ah? The inner door moved too?" Li Youjun was really attracted by the news.Because of past experience, the inner sect will only protect Shunting, the capital of the country, and look after the royal family members.There has never been a precedent for going abroad to meet the enemy.That's why Li Youjun was so surprised.

Senior Brother Liu continued: "That's right, not only the inner sect disciples are here, even three elders from the inner sect are said to have come this time. It's just that unlike our Heba Bingbao, the people from the inner sect are guarding The most critical places are stationed. For example, there is an inner sect elder and more than five inner sect disciples in Dead Leaf City!"

"real?!"

"Hush! This matter is confidential. The military will not allow it to be spread indiscriminately. They are worried that the information will be leaked and Yunyan will find out. Just know it well."

Li Youjun really didn't know about this news before, but now he was really excited when he heard it.You must know that according to the rules of the inner sect, one cannot get out until the middle stage of the Mysterious Meridian Realm, and the position of elder of the inner sect can only be held by Qi Practitioners of the Dao Dan Realm. That is a big shot!
With such a big man in charge, Li Youjun felt much more at ease.At least the Heba Bingbao where he is now is close enough to Withered Leaf City, presumably there is a backer to rely on in a critical moment.

"Let's go, it's time to change defenses below. We haven't completed our patrol yet, so we have to walk faster later."

"Yes, brother."

But just as Brother Li Youjun was preparing to continue patrolling the city, suddenly a black smoke column appeared from far away behind them to the west.

"Huh? Wolf smoke!"

"No! How could the smoke come out from behind?!"

The two of them had already heard the sound of the trumpet in the military fort in surprise, and immediately went down the high wall to the big tent. There must be news from the army at this time.
