Chapter 1145: Three Routes, Three Victories, Where Are You Going?
The bonfire was burning, the soldiers were upright, and under the night, there was no more mosquito infestation.
In the camp tent, everyone surrounded the central sand table.
Xu Haitao pointed to the Red River on the sand table, pointing to the two sides of the river.
"The Northern Court has many great battles, one struggle, one decision. The Southern Frontier has many nibbling. Our conflict with the Southern Frontier, as long as there is a high-intensity conflict, has always implemented the interweaving tactic, fighting Mobile Corps Commander warfare around Lao'ai Mountain and Lucang River, relying on the advantage of intelligence first, carrying out small-scale encirclement, winning more with less. Whoever controls more intelligence can fight out the advantage."
"Fighting scouts." Wei Lin hugged his arms.
"That's right, fighting scouts. Young General Wei is worthy of the true biography of the Duke, hitting the nail on the head. Unfortunately..." Xu Haitao was full of regret, "Ever since the two major arts of Mayfly Blood Collection and Blood Hidden Gu appeared, we have only been able to rely on the residual energy of past struggles in scout reconnaissance, completely falling into a disadvantage. Plus a major strategic mistake..."
"Qinzhou?" Ji Yanyu asked.
"Yes! After Qinzhou fell, the Great Shun collapsed. The Southern Frontier struck while the iron was hot, and we retreated again and again. Until now, the battle line is about to run out of the One Hundred Thousand Great Mountains."
His finger slid.
Everyone clearly saw on the sand table that Halong Bay and the Red River were located at the corner of the One Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, almost belonging to the miniature version of Lao'ai Mountain and Lucang River. Without geographical advantage, the difficulty and pressure of solid defense were even greater.
The scale of the One Hundred Thousand Great Mountains was much larger than the Jianghuai Great Marsh. Except for the upper reaches in the Great Snow Mountain range, it could accommodate half of the Lucang River, which can be seen.
"Why can't Mayfly Blood Collection be used in reverse?" Someone asked. "Deliberately offer flesh and blood, and then know the final landing position of the mayfly. The Perfected Form experts who were collected should be able to perceive it, right?"
"Tried it, no use." The Jiang Zongshi beside Xu Haitao answered. "Mayfly Blood Collection and Blood Hidden Gu were never suddenly popped up, but prepared long ago. Being able to take them out naturally went through full consideration.
According to our observations, mayflies ambush for months, and after collecting and circulating, they will be transmitted back in multiple segments. We cannot track them in reverse based on a single segment. By the time the flesh and blood are enough, it is just an instant.
At this time, the energy has been captured by the other party, and the flesh and blood have been destroyed. Even if you chase, it is following the map to find the horse, and it is more likely to be ambushed."
Silence.
The candle fire was dim.
Xu Yuelong supported his chin: "The situation in the One Hundred Thousand Great Mountains is complex, the Southern Frontier has Gu insects, and they coexist with plants, like a fish in water. It will be difficult to retreat and then enter again."
"Precisely because of this, the situation has reached the most critical moment, so we realized something was wrong and immediately asked the imperial court for support." Xu Haitao inserted a small red flag on the opposite bank of the Red River. "Mayflies are everywhere, and the energy of the Perfected Form experts in the camp has almost all been captured by the other party.
Fortunately, we are not completely ignorant of them. Here, here, and here, these three places are the results of recent exploration, and we can feel eleven, twelve, and seven Perfected Form experts respectively, and there are experts like the Twenty-Four Shas among them.
To be safe, we usually expand the number of the enemy by half."
"Breaking through one by one overnight is too late. A little slower, it will attract the attention of the Southern Frontier and bring encirclement. We must act separately and proceed together. Three positions, three routes. Just relying on these manpower and fish fins, I am afraid it is not enough." Ji Yanyu opened his mouth. "This kind of evenly matched struggle should not be done by us."
It has always been winning more with less.
Unless necessary, no one wants to take the risk of winning less with more. Even if they win, it is a tragic victory.
They came from the Nanzhili from thousands of *li* away. The advantage is that they are all "transparent people," which is very precious. One less is one less. There is no reason to bite hard from the beginning.
"It should be so. Everyone, support Grandmasters total forty-four people and three beasts. The enemy's number is calculated by half more, and the quantity is roughly the same as ours. Therefore, to be safe, we only target the first and third, maintain the numerical advantage, and avoid casualties."
"Is there a possibility of bait?" Wei Lin asked.
"Yes." Xu Haitao didn't hide it. "But according to observation and inference, as well as cross-verification, the possibility is very small."
"I want to see the reconnaissance intelligence."
"Please."
The Jiang Zongshi beside Xu Haitao sent the pages.
Passed around for a while.
Liang Qu looked at Xu Yuelong and saw Xu Yuelong nod.
No problem seen.
Xu Yuelong's father is Xu Wenzhu, and his grandfather is the Duke of Wei. Family inheritance, professional quality is trustworthy.
Ji Yanyu looked back.
Two routes are acceptable. After all, there is Liang Qu, this big killer. The intelligence is correct, and their quantity and quality can fully achieve two-to-one or even three-to-one. Be careful, and you can take it down without damage. The Marquis of Baron Xingyi said the most difficult place is handed to him. Ji Yanyu felt that from the realm and reputation, it was worthy of the name. You can divide the number of people equally, but let him lead the team to the stronghold of eleven people.
No one had any objections.
"Good! I hope everyone will work together, win at the first attempt, and try to annihilate half. Next, these two teams, how to divide..."
"One, two, three, one night, enough."
A finger descended from the sky, pointing at the red flag in the middle.
Xu Haitao's speech paused, and the scene went silent.
Everyone looked up.
"Marquis of Baron Xingyi?"
"Does the Marquis of Baron Xingyi mean to divide into two waves and finally surround and attack the last team? That is too dangerous, not to mention the movement in the middle, we cannot guarantee that the two teams of Grandmasters can annihilate them all. If someone escapes and alarms the Southern Frontier, it will become a chase battle. The opposite bank of the Red River is their home field."
"Leave the most difficult place to me."
Liang Qu repeated his previous words.
Ji Yanyu was puzzled: "So I intend to let the Marquis of Baron Xingyi deal with the first stronghold, and the number of people is equally divided. Does the Marquis of Baron Xingyi think it can be less, and squeeze out more Grandmasters?"
"I think it is inappropriate. The Southern Frontier is cunning and may change positions at any time, and may also be a trap set deliberately at any time. Why not catch them all in one net?"
Ji Yanyu felt his heart jump.
"Good! A man's word is his bond. Hand over the stronghold of twelve people to me. I will take my little mirage dragon and dragon sturgeon. The remaining two teams, hand them over to you. Let's, divide into three routes."
"Remember, the Southern Frontier is cunning, may change positions at any time, may also be a trap set deliberately, can fight then fight, cannot fight then retreat immediately." Liang Qu explained carefully to Eying, Binglin, and Yanrui.
"Brother-in-law, rest assured! I will protect Sister Eying well."
"Forget it, don't get bitten by Gu insects and flip the car. Just protect yourself well. Your Sister Eying protecting you is about the same."
Liang Qu patted Long Yanrui on the shoulder.
He was still very relieved about Long Eying. She was a Perfected Form Jiang Zongshi with Heart Fire, and with the help of the Dragon King's essence blood, the Qi Sea was directly pulled to near the limit. In terms of combat power, the Five Gu and Nine Poisons couldn't guarantee it, but she could completely surpass the so-called Twenty-Four Shas.
Not to mention Long Eying's Taiyin long energy, which had a strength bonus at midnight, which was extraordinary.
"Also, there is 【Drop Dew】 secreted by Awei in this small bottle, a total of six drops, with a strong detoxification effect. Don't be reluctant to use it, Third Prince!"
"Coming, coming!"
The little mirage dragon flew in the sky, dragging a big tiger with its tongue out, circling and landing.
The golden tiger in the military camp scratched its fur, feeling itchy.
"Eying, you take the Third Prince, keep in touch at all times, tell me if there is danger. If it is not feasible, pretending to surrender to delay time is also fine. Third Prince, leave your Mirage Tiger to me." Liang Qu shook his right hand.
"Obey!"
The little mirage dragon wrapped around Long Eying's small arm, puffed its abdomen, blew a wisp of pale golden long energy, rotated and wrapped around the right arm armor.
War was imminent. Liang Qu wore silver armor, rewarded by the imperial court when he was promoted to Perfected Form. The right hand had its own arm armor. At this moment, the pale golden energy merged into the arm armor, the silver scales opened and closed, the muscles regenerated, and a ferocious tiger head grew on the shoulder, majestic and extraordinary, actually having Perfected Form momentum!
Mirage Tiger!
Mirage Tiger!
After a year of cultivation and recovery, the first Perfected Form level fog beast under the little mirage dragon!
*Ka-ka-ka. *
Opening and closing the arm armor, Liang Qu pulled out the 【Fubo】, black light flashing.
Long Eying took a step, leaned into Liang Qu's ear: "Do you want to exchange long energy?"
"No need. This kind of thing has to wait for my resurrection, otherwise it always feels strange. Besides, I'm about to leave soon. You know my ability. At least half a day, otherwise I can't come down, it's too late."
Long Eying spat lightly.
"You can."
"Alright." Taking advantage of no one paying attention, Liang Qu patted Eying's butt, "Hurry up, don't miss the time. Come back early after finishing, call my name if you encounter danger."
"You be careful yourself."
"Know."
The Dragon People returned to the team and walked into the night.
Liang Qu clenched his five fingers into a fist, bursting with golden iron sound.
In the past, the 6,821-fold majestic Qi Sea, after the heaven and earth anomaly of the Drought Demon position fruit, officially surged to 7,000!
Even without the midnight strengthening of 【Taiyin】 long energy, he still had confidence!
"A-Fei, Miyun, go!"
Liang Qu stepped on the fat catfish's head, merged into the Red River from the stream!
The camp gradually emptied.
The fire was burning.
The close guard stepped forward: "Great General, the Marquis of Baron Xingyi went alone, will there be danger? If there is really an ambush in the Southern Frontier, there is no one to meet him."
"The Marquis of Baron Xingyi's own idea, you have seen his attitude. Such a genius, can't be persuaded."
Xu Haitao looked at the residual moon.
It is rumored that the Northern Court's Sick Tiger needs four to five people to be safely contained.
But these four to five people must be top-level Heaven-Men.
The twelve Grandmasters in the stronghold at present are not necessarily so. There are first-level, second-level, and even first-level are the majority. The quality is completely different. Even if the stronghold has "transparent Grandmasters" that cannot be perceived, count them as eighteen people.
The combat gap of Perfected Form is huge. Without enough strength to pull, it is a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Whether one can live depends entirely on the tiger's appetite and the sheep's speed.
Just Twenty-Four Shas, obviously not qualified.
If Liang Qu is benchmarked against the Sick Tiger, he can run away even if he can't beat him. In terms of paper strength...
Xu Haitao was shocked.
Actually not without hope?
"Talented people emerge in each generation."
The fat catfish spread the map with its double whiskers, riding the waves toward the target.
A figure sat cross-legged on the fish head, the fish body twisted into a human body, flesh, blood shadow, soul three-in-one.
【Human Phase Returning to Origin】, Liang Qu's first practice, could only maintain for two hours, now extended to four hours, eight hours, one night, enough to use!
This state is naturally not a 100% full-state posture, more or less there is "delay," however, the opponent is not a top expert.
【Vortex God Armor】 rolled.
No energy.
Falling to the shore, the fat catfish and dragon sturgeon were all collected into the 【Vortex Palace】.
Liang Qu unloaded the fat catfish's divine ability 【Splashing Ink】, replaced it with the dragon sturgeon's 【Moving Mountains and Unloading Ridges】, and felt a warm current, the strength in his body increased again.
7,000-fold Qi Sea, rose to 7,100 and more.
Spread out the map.
According to his own position, the distance is 160 *li*.
"Not far."
The agreed action time is midnight, with another hour of margin, convenient for careful searching. After all, the orientation is a rough orientation, the error is about ten *li*, counted as diameter, the area is not small, and finally, it is to prevent the misalignment caused by the sequence and hitting the Southern Frontier support.
"A-Fei, where is Frog Duke?"
The fat catfish turned its head.
In the Vortex Palace, the old toad was sleeping soundly, poked by the fat catfish's whiskers, scratched its butt, muttering "Remove your frog registration," "Mine, all mine," "Bold, my son is the Frog Emperor, suppressing all enemies in the world! Kneel!"
"Then there is no problem."
Liang Qu rolled up the map and stepped on the wind into the sky.
*Hua. *
It started to rain in the sky.
The sparks were dim.
The bonfire crackled.
Black cicadas distributed between the trees, sucking tree sap, crossing and alerting.
Under the orange-red firelight, Ren Ze painted blood on his naked body, looking as serious as a believer praying.
They were headed by sixteen people, supplemented by Hunting Tiger and Wolf Smoke. Recently, they fought interweaving with the Great Shun, possessing two Heaven-Men, Corpse Sha and Curse Sha, unstoppable, with fruitful results. In one month, they beheaded six Perfected Form experts. This was one of the most intact bodies, carefully processed, using the remnants, it could fully exert eighty percent of its ability before death!
Green leaves fell.
Yi Zhi jumped down from the tree.
"Is this an array? It looks really complicated. How long does it take to refine such a corpse puppet?"
"Depends on good or bad." Ren Ze dipped in paint. "Rotten ones take half a quarter of an hour, short ones take seven days, long ones take forty-nine days. If refined into an immortal puppet, eighty-one days is the bottom line, and the materials are very hard to find."
"Tsk tsk, except for no temperature, it's the same as a living one, and it can move by itself." Yi Zhi poked the corpse. "If this were a woman..."
Ren Ze glanced: "Easy to rot."
Yi Zhi's eyes shone, squatting on the ground: "Teach me, your corpse family means. Don't teach me any secret methods, just simple ones, usable ones."
"Exchange with your poison blood curse."
"Forget it."
Yi Zhi patted his butt and stood up, turning over and returning to the tree, pillowing his head on his small arm, looking at the residual moon.
Today's moon is very bright, silver brilliance splashing, hanging down flowing light.
"There was a blood rain on the Red River side this evening, unusual. Who do you think did it?"
"Don't know."
"Xu Haitao."
"Xu Haitao started with horizontal practice, doesn't have that kind of five-eight-door ability."
"Do you think it's a divine ability?"
"Doesn't look like it." Ren Ze turned the corpse over. "First, the range is too large, second, the lethality is limited. It shouldn't be that someone specially buried such a divine ability. Besides killing mosquitoes and insects, it has no great use."
*Pi-pa. *
The firewood exploded,
The firewood burst open, and sparks drifted away.
Silence.
"Ha, it's the Hour of the Rat, isn't it?"
Yi Zhi yawned, lay back along the tree trunk, and prepared to take a light nap.
Whoosh...
Passing through the forest and hitting the leaves.
The rain lines were fine, falling obliquely onto his face.
It's raining?
The campfire flickered; upon meeting the water droplets, sparks constantly soared, teetering on the edge of extinction.
Yi Zhi wiped the water stains from his face, and Ren Ze also stood up, shouldered the blood-patterned corpse, and moved into the tent.
Suddenly.
Yi Zhi squinted, staring at the sky.
It was a small black dot on the moon, between thin clouds, not worth noticing originally.
But...
Was this black dot on the moon just now?
"Zhi!"
The noisy cicada chirping exploded with a boom.
His spiritual sense went blank, his pupils dilated, Yi Zhi's nerves tightened violently, and he kicked off the ground and darted out.
"Enemy attack!!"
Hum!
The world turned black and white, with countless lines vibrating and entangling.
Under the curtain of rain, stepping on a Azure Dragon, Liang Qu's golden eyes swept across; in the dense forest, only two people had slight color, another fourteen had some color, and the rest were almost imperceptible.
Sixteen Grandmasters.
Not much difference.
Since receiving the favor of the Ying Dragon, he could see the Qi mechanism of heaven and earth, and the strength of his opponents was clear at a glance in his golden eyes.
Ape shadows floating on the moon.
Black light flowed.
On the head of the Azure Dragon, Fubo waved, severing the long lines.
Whoosh!
The crescent moon turned cold, and heaven and earth lost their sound.
A moment ago, the mountains and forests were rolling and boundless; the next moment, a ten-mile canyon suddenly appeared on the earth, its cross-section reflecting light.
Boom!
His Qi sea dropped by half.
Under his golden eyes, half of the sixteen color spots were extinguished.
"Ah!"
The rock mountain collapsed.
Yi Zhi screamed in pain, his five fingers hooked into the cliff, his entire right side completely disappeared, and his internal organs hung down.
Ren Ze was drenched in sweat; he wanted to grab Yi Zhi's hand, but immense fear crushed his sanity.
What is that!
What is that thing!
Run.
Run!
Ren Ze abandoned Yi Zhi and turned to flee; just as decisive as him were the other six color spots.
The seven people scattered and fled, darting out more than ten miles in the blink of an eye.
The heavy rain poured down, golden eyes burning, he raised his hand to grab, the "Vortex Palace" opened and closed, vortex water coiled, seven water dragon spears spread out behind him, circling his body, wave light flowing.
Five fingers spread wide.
Seven water dragon spears shot out!
Air waves exploded; in mid-air, the water dragon spears expanded with a boom, dragon heads grew from the spear tips, twisting and soaring, roaring in the sky!
Water Dragon Piercing the Clouds!
An average of one hundred per spear, three hundred for the ones with brighter colors, Qi sea dropped by another thousand!
Roar!
The wilderness in all directions.
The Azure Dragon twisting.
Ren Ze's ears buzzed, he looked back in horror, his pupils shrank to the size of needle eyes, a pale dragon head was ferocious, swallowing him in one bite.
"Ah!!!"
Whoosh!
A large pit appeared on the ground, white water rushed into the sky, the tide receded and swirled together, mud and sand turbid.
Seven spots, all extinguished!
At the edge of the cliff, Yi Zhi's sanity completely collapsed, he let go and fell off the cliff.
"Zhi!"
Cicada wings cut through the water surface, the black cicada flapped its wings and struggled.
"Didn't they say there were twenty-four evil spirits, why didn't I see them?" Liang Qu clapped his hands, feeling puzzled, and turned to contact the Little Xiao Xiao Shenlong, "Ask my wife, does she need help?"
The iceberg shattered.
Long Eying stepped and turned, smashing the ice sculpture with one punch.
"No need."
