Chapter 1630: Result of the Battle

In Pingyuan County, in a dark room, a dark-faced, muscular man was practicing self-cultivation in a strange way. He stood upright, raised one leg, put both palms flat on his dantian, closed his eyes, and exhaled from his mouth like Lei, his whole body was shrouded in red smoke.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside. The man suddenly opened his eyes, took a big breath, and the mist surrounding him poured into his stomach. He took a deep breath, sat down, and waved his hand to open the stone door.

"Clan Chief, King Yunfei has arrived and is waiting in the meeting hall. He will send someone to invite you to discuss important matters." A woman with an enchanting appearance walked in and saluted him.

"Yes." The man responded, then stood up and left the room, and came to the majestic meeting hall. The Peacock King Yunfei was already seated at the main seat. There was also a fair-faced, medium-sized man in the early stage of Mahayana cultivation on the lower left side.

"King Yunfei, why did you arrive so soon? I thought you would come with the supporting army." The dark-faced man sat down and said.

"The enemy is at hand. I didn't have time to wait for so many people to wait, so I rushed over first."

"With King Yunfei stationed in this county, Pingyuan County is as solid as a rock. The rabble of the Qingzhou Alliance Army is nothing to worry about."

"I came to you to discuss strategies against the enemy. What do you think?"

The pale-faced man said: "The enemy army is powerful and the strength of our headquarters is empty. We cannot fight head-on. We need to rely on large formations to deal with it and consume the enemy's combat power bit by bit. In short, the longer the delay, the better. Now Annan County is facing the threat of demonic invasion. , we cannot reinforce our headquarters in a short period of time, and we must maintain our effective strength. Fellow Taoist Lingche and I have made corresponding arrangements, setting up many defensive formations in various counties, setting up many barriers, and adopting a step-by-step strategy to delay as much as possible. The enemy's attack rhythm."

………

"Lingche, do you also mean this?" Peacock King Yunfei glanced at the black-faced man. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with this.

"This is a countermeasure jointly discussed by Daoist Zhang and I, but since King Yunfei has arrived at the headquarters in person, of course we still follow your arrangements. I wonder what your instructions are?" the black-faced man replied immediately.

Within the Mubei Allied Forces, the demon race and the human race were divided into two camps, both of which had a tendency to stick together.

The demon clan has the upper hand in terms of strength and numbers, and there are also three demon kings, so they have more say, but sometimes they have to take care of the interests of the human monks and make compromises.

The original eight Mahayana monks in Qingzhou were left in the ratio of four demons and four humans.

When there are differences of opinion, as a monster, he naturally leans towards Maurya.

"Although the Qingzhou Allied Forces are powerful, the vanguard team they attack in Pingyuan County does not have an overwhelming advantage. The worry is that if their attack fails, they will ask for support from the rear army. When the Qingzhou Allied Forces swarm forward, it will be difficult for us to deal with it. Therefore, we must seize the opportunity to severely damage the vanguard while their rear support is still pending, so that we can defend the three counties of Qingzhou."

"What do you mean? Find them for a decisive battle as soon as possible?"

The pale-faced man frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Yunfei, with all due respect, the enemy has four legions, and our combined strength is less than two legions. There is a huge disparity in strength. If we go head-to-head, I'm afraid it will be an egg against a stone."

Yun Fei said coldly: "Although the Qingzhou coalition forces are large in number, they are just a mob. The key is the four Mahayana monks. As long as they are captured, the rest of them will be no different from ants."

"There are currently sixteen Mahayana monks in the Qingzhou coalition. If we can severely damage the four Mahayana monks who entered Pingyuan County first, the Qingzhou coalition will be in chaos. This is our only chance to defend Pingyuan County."

The pale-faced man said worriedly: "Isn't this too risky? There are four Mahayana monks on the other side, all of whom are not easy to deal with. The leader, Tang Ning, is a rare genius in ancient and modern times. It is said that he killed Bingfeng in the middle stage of Mahayana in Liangzhou in adversity. Aotian, the blood descendant of the royal family, once broke through to the middle stage of Mahayana, and fought with a mysterious late stage Mahayana monk in Qingzhou without losing. It might not be that easy for the three of us to deal with them." Yun Fei snorted. He said, "Tang Ning is just a brat with a false reputation. What I am worried about is that he does not dare to challenge me. If he dares to compete with me face to face, I will behead him. As for the others, there is no need to worry about it. If the time comes, Let's fight, you just need to hold down the two enemy Mahayana monks for me, and leave the rest to me."

The two people below looked at each other, and the dark-faced man said: "In this case, we can use the method of luring the enemy deep into the depths, first luring the Qingzhou coalition forces deep step by step, and after confirming the whereabouts of the Mahayana monks, we can Ambush the opponent by surprise."

"Yes. This is exactly what I want. Let's arrange it as you say!"

………

The sun is warm and the breeze is intoxicating.

On the deck of the Lezi ship, Tang Ning stood with her hands behind her hands and looked into the distance. As far as she could see, there was a green expanse of greenery.

There was no hidden figure within the field of vision, and Yan Jiuzheng did not know where he was hiding. Neither his consciousness nor his sight could find his presence.

This man's hidden magical power was extraordinary. When he ambushed him in Linzi County, he didn't notice it until he was close.

With his current spiritual power, if he exerts it with all his strength, he can cover a radius of thousands of miles, and the range that his eyes can focus on, even if there is no obstruction, cannot see too far.

Even his consciousness couldn't detect where Yan Jiuzheng was, let alone others.

In the distance, a beam of light shot out and landed in front of Tang Ning. A man appeared and saluted him, saying, "Senior Tang, the Third Corps has sent a message that it has taken Zixu City as planned and is now heading towards Zhaoyang County."

"Well, I see. Tell them not to have any concerns and act according to the original plan. Take Zhaoyang County first."

"Yes." The man responded and left.

Since the Qingzhou coalition entered Pingyuan County, the First, Second, and Third Corps have been advancing in parallel. The war has been going very smoothly and there has been almost no strong resistance. Now the Second Corps has advanced to Yulin County.

Tang Ning had not even taken action yet and only sent half of the legion's troops to attack the city. As a result, Yulin County was captured in a few days. The defenders inside only put up a symbolic resistance and then fled.

Now the Second Corps has been stationed in Yulin County for several days, and the progress of the First and Third Corps is also very smooth. Both are about to attack the target city.

Tang Ning turned around and walked into the cabin. When he returned to the room, he took out the Xiantian treasure gourd in his hand, and the green spiritual energy in his body continued to flow into it.

After two or three hours, he put away the treasure gourd and was about to close his eyes and rest. There was a knock on the door outside. After the stone door opened, Gao Yuan came in from outside and bowed to him: "Uncle Master, the Fourth Army has entered the city. Senior Kong wants to see you."

"Please ask him to come!"

Gao Yuan responded and left. Not long after, Kong Rui came here.

The two exchanged a few words and sat down as host and guest.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, we have been unstoppable since we entered Pingyuan County. The Fourth Army broke through Yulin County in less than a year. Don't you think it's too fast?" Kong Rui said.

"It was indeed somewhat smooth along the way, but it was also reasonable. There were three Mahayana monks in Pingyuan County, all of whom were guarding the county town. There were no Mahayana monks in Yulin County, so the enemy naturally had no intention of resisting and fled at the sight of the enemy."

"The Second Corps was commanded by Fellow Daoists Tang, Feng, and Zhu, and it was understandable that they advanced without any hindrance. However, it was a bit unusual that the First and Third Corps also attacked so smoothly. I just heard that the First and Third Corps were almost attacking the cities of Funing and Zhaoyang."

"The Mubei demons did not have enough troops stationed in Qingzhou, and there were not enough people to guard everywhere. I think they were planning to defend the Pingyuan County City to the death. There is nothing strange about this. What exactly did Fellow Daoist Kong do? What are you worried about? "

"Isn't it strange, Brother Tang? The Peacock King is such an arrogant man. He personally sits in Pingyuan County, but the defenders of Funing, Yulin, and Chaoyang have no intention of fighting and almost flee at the first sign of trouble. I suspect that the enemy is deliberately paralyzing us and trying to lure us in."

Tang Ning smiled: "Isn't this good? It saves a lot of time. Our goal is to fully recover the three counties of Qingzhou. Isn't it just what we want if they don't resist now? Is it normal for the enemy to resist stubbornly and we have to suffer heavy casualties to take over these territories?"

"That's not what I mean. I'm worried that the enemy has an ambush waiting for us ahead. Brother Tang, do you know , the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Corps led by Daoyou Yang, Daoyou Ma, Daoyou Fan and Daoyou Zhou entered Beihai and encountered very stubborn resistance, suffered many casualties and advanced very slowly. "

"They also attacked in three directions like our headquarters, but none of them went smoothly. I heard that they have not advanced halfway so far, and we are about to take three counties."

Tang Ning smiled slightly: "Daoyou Kong, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, even if the enemy has any tricks, I am not afraid. If the Peacock King wants to fight, I will compete with him. If we want to recover the three counties of Qingzhou, we will have to fight sooner or later."

"He wants to lure the enemy deep into the country, and I also want to get there as soon as possible. Take Pingyuan County. If we don't take this opportunity to recapture the three counties of Qingzhou, I'm afraid there will be no chance after Mubei solves the invasion of the demons. "

"I have received intelligence that there are four Mahayana monks in the enemy army in Beihai County, which means that there are only three Mahayana monks stationed in Pingyuan County. In this case, there is no need to worry. "

"To be honest with you, I wish the Peacock King would come to surprise attack our camp tonight."

Kong Rui saw that he was full of confidence: "Does Brother Tang really have a sure win? That's the Peacock King, one of the three demon kings of Mubei."

"How do you know if you don't try?"

"Since Brother Tang is confident, I won't say much."

The two talked for a while, and Kong Rui got up and left.

...

A month later, the First Legion and the Third Legion both received good news, and the two divisions had captured Fulin County and Zhaoyang County.

In the majestic hall, everyone gathered together. In addition to Tang Ning, Kong Rui, Zhu Zhiqing, and Feng Yuliang, the four legion commanders and inspectors were all present.

"Thanks to your dedication, we have completed the first phase of the goal and captured three counties in Pingyuan County. Now I announce the next phase of the goal. The first army will attack Miding County, the second army will attack Chengxuan County, and the third army will attack Jiangyue County, eventually forming a three-way encirclement of Donglai County."

"Although you have worked hard all the way, you still have to continue to march. As the saying goes, speed is the essence of war. All units must not stop. All personnel must set off with the team and report progress in a timely manner along the way..."

Tang Ning explained the next phase of the task and said some high-sounding words to boost morale. The meeting lasted for an hour, and everyone took the order and left.
