Chapter 389: Only Enough for One Demonstration (Thanks to Golden Alliance Leader)

Outside the sky, the great will was speechless for a while. The other great wills withdrew their gazes and turned to pay attention to other places.

At this time, the Qingming troops had gathered, heading straight to the southwest. After Little Wei Yuan flew to join the troops, the whole army accelerated and ran to Eshan.

Eshan was ten thousand li away from Qingming, located at the junction of the mountain people and the Shaman tribe. The twenty thousand people Little Wei Yuan gathered this time, except for the five thousand Long Yi who were regular cavalry, the rest were horse-riding infantry. With the blessing of the ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains, the army's marching speed was very fast, thousands of li a day, and they arrived at the outskirts of Eshan three days later.

Eshan was a small piece of hilly land, not very undulating. Li Zhi was surrounded on a small mountain and had been holding on for several days. Fortunately, there was continuous rain here, with lush forests, no shortage of water or materials for building ramparts, and Li Zhi built ramparts to defend, finally holding on.

It was the first time Little Wei Yuan fought against mountain people, so he brought out all his elite troops this time, not daring to be careless. When he was a hundred li away from Eshan, Little Wei Yuan slowed down the marching speed, the troops deployed, the two wings released scouts, and began to search and advance.

The mountain people Dharma Forms had just dodged the Yushan when they saw a scholar appear in the battlefield, the multi-tube flying sword machine gun in his hand roaring continuously, a flying sword sweeping the Dharma Forms until they jumped around, one of whom was stared at by Feng Tingyu, another was chased by a cat until it went to heaven and entered the earth, and the remaining two had to deal with Little Wei Yuan's Flowing Fire Technique while guarding against the pursuit of other opponents, all in precarious situations.

The sudden appearance of Little Wei Yuan's large army made the mountain people panic. Sharp whistles sounded in the camp, and then a large number of mountain people rushed out and lined up outside the camp.

Little Wei Yuan stood in the middle army, looking from afar. At this time, light mist permeated between the undulating slopes, and above the mountain people's camp was gray-green qi, surrounding a small mountain in the center, grinding away the military qi on the mountain.

The small mountain was not high, and simple camps were built on it. Although surrounded for many days, the military qi still condensed and did not disperse, reaching dozens of zhang high. Li Zhi's military qi was bright golden yellow, which was the orthodox human king qi, and one could tell it was extraordinary at a glance.

Looking at Li Zhi's military qi, to be honest, Little Wei Yuan was also a bit envious, mainly because it looked brilliant and eye-catching. However, Li Zhi had the bloodline of the Southern Qi royal family and was cultivated as a new generation of human king by the Four Sages Academy. In the future, he would at least be a prince who could divide the land and seal the territory, which could be said to be root-red and seedling-straight, and it was no problem to have human king military qi.

If Little Wei Yuan also dared to show this bright yellow human king qi, I'm afraid the Jin Wang would be the first to send troops to wipe him out.

After looking at the military qi and knowing that Li Zhi was safe for the time being, Little Wei Yuan looked at the mountain people in front of the array again.

The Mountain Folk are slightly shorter than the human race, on average only reaching the shoulders of humans, but their bodies are robust, their arms are exceptionally long, and they traverse mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground. They generally wear leather armor studded with steel plates, wield various refined steel weapons, and possess a large number of heavy crossbows; their military equipment is refined and in no way inferior to that of the human race.

Little Wei Yuan had already reviewed the information on mountain people before this trip. Mountain people were good at iron smelting, hunting, and raising various spirit beasts. In addition, there were mountain people giants; back then, a castrated version of a mountain people giant had once beaten a group of newcomers from the Grand Void Palace until they couldn't find north.

At this time, the mountain people kept making "woo-ya-ya" roaring battle cries, and several brown-furred giant bears wearing heavy armor appeared in the array.

Little Wei Yuan immediately ordered to change the array, the Long Xiang army was in front, holding heavy shields, the standing infantry were divided into two wings, and the Long Yi cavalry occupied the high slope next to them.

A scream sounded in the mountain people's array, and a large number of mountain people roared and rushed up. The brown-furred war bears roared like thunder and soon rushed to the very front of the team. And the mountain people in the rear kept shooting arrows, scattering waves of arrow rain toward Little Wei Yuan's position.

Fortunately, these elite infantry were equipped with large shields and breastplates, and the mountain people's bows and crossbows were not as good as the Liao people's, making it difficult to shoot through the integrated breastplates, and even if they shot through, it was not fatal. A round of arrow rain passed, and it didn't cause much casualties to Little Wei Yuan.

At this time, the largest brown-furred war bear rushing at the very front had already rushed within a hundred zhang. A burst of gunshots suddenly sounded in Little Wei Yuan's army array, and the giant bear's momentum suddenly stopped, with blood flowers blooming on its body continuously. It suddenly stood up, and as a result, it was hit continuously in the chest and abdomen, and the pieces of blood light almost dyed its whole body red.

The brown bear's vitality was extremely tenacious, actually rushing forward against the bullet rain, and only fell after rushing another sixty zhang.

The fate of the other giant bears was much the same; in this death distance, the furthest only rushed out sixty zhang. The charging mountain people were knocked flying from time to time, and some were even blasted into two sections directly!

At close range, the power of the bullets from the new gunpowder guns changed by Qingming had already exceeded bows and crossbows. One shot hit, often taking away the whole part of the mountain person.

The first row of the Long Xiang army in front held shields to resist the enemy, and the soldiers in the rear kept shooting through the shield gaps. The loading and shooting speed had reached the level of one shot per second. And the Dao Foundation captains had all changed to new guns supplied by magazines, with faster rate of fire and extremely fierce firepower.

At a distance of only a hundred zhang, the mountain people were beaten with corpses all over the ground, suffering heavy casualties, and the war bears were all killed in battle. After paying a painful price, the remaining mountain people finally rushed to the front of the array and began hand-to-hand combat, only to find that the opponent had put stabbing blades on the fire guns. With long gun bodies plus two-foot stabbing blades, the stabbing power was huge; the mountain people were short and used curved knives, and as a result, the first round of encounter was heavy casualties again.

By the time the two sides began to mix in battle, Little Wei Yuan's mind moved, the ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains manifested, and under the blessing, the strength of the soldiers suddenly improved by a notch. The mountain people in the slaughter suffered significantly increased casualties, being stabbed to death in pieces.

Then Little Wei Yuan's divine sense swept over and found the location of the mountain people's middle army. This was not difficult to find at all; besides the flags, only there were two Dharma Forms.

Little Wei Yuan pointed to the sky, and the Yushan fell from the sky, smashing directly toward the two Dharma Forms with an incomparably fierce momentum!

The mountain people Dharma Forms cast several spells to bombard the Yushan, but could not block it at all. At the last moment, they had to escape to both sides, watching helplessly as the Yushan landed, shaking the earth and mountains, smashing a shallow pit of a hundred zhang square, and shaking all the thousand mountain people within the shallow pit to death.

Little Wei Yuan waved forward, and the Long Yi cavalry began to charge, the soldiers' edge passing through the middle army that had become a dead zone, rushing straight to the mountain people's camp!

And at this time, the bright yellow military qi on the hill also moved. Li Zhi saw reinforcements arrive and also led the army to attack.

The five thousand Long Yi iron cavalry were invincible under the blessing of the ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains. With Li Zhi's internal and external attack, the mountain people were defeated, abandoned the camp, and fled to the mountain areas on both sides.

After breaking through one side of the mountain people's camp, Little Wei Yuan and Li Zhi joined forces.

Li Zhi looked ashamed and said, "This time I was careless, fell into an ambush, fortunately the virtuous brother came quickly, otherwise I don't know when the Zhao Guo reinforcements would come, and the consequences would be unimaginable."

Little Wei Yuan asked curiously, "With Brother Li's ability, can't you get reinforcements in Zhao Guo?"

Li Zhi sighed, "I am originally of the Southern Qi bloodline. Although I exchanged for this domain, Zhao Wang must be wary of me. And Empress Dowager Xiao does not intend to let me go like this. She long ago sent people to buy off the border army generals. It would be a blessing if those generals didn't come to hold me back, so how could I count on them to send troops to rescue?"

!.

Little Wei Yuan pointed forward and said, "Let's talk about these things later, right now the mountain people haven't been completely defeated, let's wipe them out first."

At this time, the fleeing mountain people all ran to another camp. The mountain people warriors in the camp lined up outside the camp and pulled out dozens of brown-furred war bears to hold the array. They lined up and moved forward while gathering the defeated troops. The two Dharma Forms that were smashed away by Little Wei Yuan's Yushan also reappeared and joined the Dharma Forms of this camp, totaling five Dharma Forms.

Li Zhi also had two Dharma Form cultivators protecting him. Although ordinary mountain people Dharma Forms were weaker than human Dharma Forms, the gap in the number of the two sides was too large, so Li Zhi was beaten until he had to hold on and wait for reinforcements.

Little Wei Yuan carefully observed the mountain people's military qi and already had a count in his heart.

Li Zhi frowned slightly and said, "Now the number of mountain people is quite large, and our side no longer has the advantage of a surprise attack, and my soldiers are also very exhausted. How about retreating first?"

At this time, Li Zhi's soldiers only had four thousand left, almost all of them injured. The continuous days of holding on made them exhausted. Although the military qi was still bright, Little Wei Yuan saw that it was actually because Li Zhi's Dao Foundation forcibly raised a level, and in fact, there was no such strong combat strength.

Li Zhi proposed to retreat, and the two Dharma Forms and several generals and captains behind him were all relieved, having no intention to fight again.

Little Wei Yuan, however, said: "The giants on the other side are not participating in the battle, so their flaws are very obvious. I just thought about it carefully and feel that defeating them is not difficult. How about this: Brother Li, you lead your own troops to guard the flanks for me here, and I will demonstrate to you how to deal with the Mountain Folk. The Mountain Folk will be your main enemies in the future, so this might be of some help to you."

Li Zhi looked worried and said, "Then let my two guards help you."

There were five Dharma Forms on the opposite side of the mountain people, while there was not even one Dharma Form in Little Wei Yuan's army. Although Li Zhi knew that Little Wei Yuan's own strength was enough to defeat ordinary Dharma Forms, the opposite side was not one, but five. Therefore, Li Zhi intended to let his two Dharma Form cultivators follow and protect Little Wei Yuan to contend with the high cultivators on the opposite side.

Little Wei Yuan said, "No harm! Mountain people Dharma Forms are not good at fighting, a mere five can be ignored. You look carefully, there are only seventy or eighty thousand troops on the opposite side, which is probably only enough for me to demonstrate once."
