Volume 1 Chapter 721 Meeting Tian Fang

Chapter 721: Meeting Tian Fang

Because we were close to the border pass, we saw several armies rushing to set up camp near the pass. It can be said that there are military camps within a hundred miles northwest of the pass.

Maybe the border management is stricter, maybe the soldiers are of higher quality. Occasionally, some officers see Zhang Wen and others jumping on a good horse, and they just come to buy it. If they can't buy it, they leave after saying something at most, and there is no force to buy. things happen.

There were military camps for more than a hundred miles. Zhang was very curious. Didn't he say that Bai Wu had already attacked? Why was the pass not lost?

Out of curiosity, in the forest break two hundred miles away from the pass, there was a stream at the foot of the mountain, and there was plenty of fodder, at least the horses would not be hungry.

After having a simple meal with the children and letting them rest, he released eight shadow tigers for protection and two small mice to monitor the surroundings. He wanted to go to the pass to see what was going on.

It's only over a hundred miles away, and you can fly there in just a short breather. When you get close to the pass and take a closer look, you can see that the passage five miles long and five miles wide was originally half of the Vietnam and Wu sides, but now it's all occupied by Wu soldiers. A circle of camps was built outside the pass to protect it.

When he released his spiritual consciousness, he found neither Bai Wu Jianxiu nor the Yue Kingdom cultivator. There was no fighting at the pass, and there was peace for the time being. But this peace was shrouded in crisis, and he didn't know when the swordsmen would meet with each other, fighting with blood.

The figure circled in the air, then flew back to the mountain forest and landed. According to the comparison of combat power that we just saw, the Yue Kingdom has a huge advantage. At a glance, it is at least eight times more. However, it is useless no matter how many people there are. The pass is narrow, only five miles wide. As long as the fierce Wu soldiers block it layer by layer, it will be difficult for the Vietnamese soldiers to break through. In order to share the pressure inside the pass, the Wu soldiers also established companies and camps outside the pass for protection and expanded the scope of engagement. After the battlefield was expanded, it was conducive to the fierce Wu soldiers to let go.

If there is no external help, if you want to seize the pass, you can only succeed if the Vietnamese soldiers continue to use their lives to fill the gap and exhaust the Wu army. This method was also the most commonly used method by Yue guards in the past. Human lives were worthless on the battlefield, and the Yue people were numerous, so it was just used to wear down Wu's troops.

Regardless of the combat strength of both sides, judging from the situation seen so far, the Yue State is not at an absolute disadvantage as the military generals said. As long as the follow-up troops continue to flow, they can always force the Wu soldiers to retreat and regain the pass with human lives. Just look at It only depends on how long Wu Bing can hold on with its existing strength.

While he was thinking about it, a person flew over from the southern sky, followed by another person. Both of them were wearing white clothes, the one in front had a black sword, and the one chasing him had a white sword.

When Zhang Wen saw this, he raised his sword and flew up, stabbing the person wielding the sword behind him. The sword wielding monk was shocked when he saw Zhang Wei suddenly appear. Could it be that his pursuit of the enemy was an ambush deliberately set by the guy in front? The sword in his hand touched the tip of the divine sword. Using the power of the sword, he turned over in the air and retreated. He looked at Zhang Afraid coldly from a hundred meters away and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

Needless to say, the first thing to ask is whether there is any hostility.

Zhang Awei ignored him and turned around to talk to the man in white who was wielding the knife: "Being chased by someone? It's embarrassing." That man was Zhang Tianfang. When he saw Zhang Awei, he let out a strange scream and then cursed: "You bastard, you are so shameless." I left it on the mountain and ran down by myself? "

Zhang was afraid that his nonsense would not be answered, so he continued to ask: "Why are you being chased?"

The sword-wielding monk was a high-level Nascent Soul monk. He found out that the two knew each other, and could not find out Zhang Ai's cultivation level. He remembered the power of his sword just now and felt that he was a master. Without another word, he turned around and left. Controlling the sword with his body, he was faster than Feihong and disappeared in an instant.

Zhang Tianfang shouted: "Come back, why are you running?"

Zhang was afraid of dragging him down, so he asked him, "Why are you here if you don't stay on the mountain honestly?"

Zhang Tianfang thought of his old grudges again and cursed: "I and you are at odds with each other."

Well, there's no conflict. Zhang was afraid of leaving him alone, so he went to lie down next to him and do whatever you liked.

He stopped asking. Zhang Tianfang stood up for a while and felt bored. He came over to express his merit: "Yesterday, I killed thirteen people in a row and found a master. That person just now was good at playing with his sword. Anyway, I can use the ghost sword." He couldn't do anything, and we fought for more than two hours with no outcome. I felt bored and didn't want to continue the fight, so I came back. I didn't expect him to chase me. What a bastard. Then I fought him again, but it was still a tie. He killed me. I can't kill him even if he doesn't kill me. I'm bored anyway. I said I won't fight him, but he still refuses and chases me. I'm losing my temper. You can chase me as you please. If you have the ability to chase me for the rest of your life, I'll be a ghost. It’s really boring to hit and fly back with the help of the knife.”

One sentence meant a lot of boredom. Zhang was afraid of giving him a blank look: "You are indeed bored. Who is that person fighting with you?"

"I don't know. I didn't ask. I asked him what he was doing and who he loved. I'm not afraid of him. It's just boring to fight without winning or losing." Zhang Tianfang was very reasonable.

"Shit, if it wasn't for the Ghost Sword that helped you, how could you have made a draw? You don't have the strength to hurt others, so don't make excuses." Zhang Awei exposed it mercilessly.

"It's a tie anyway. No matter how much you talk, you can't kill me. Why did you come? This place is so lively. I guess you will come. I'll wait for you here. I'm smart, right?" After praising himself, Zhang Tianfang stopped. Then he said: "Ruiyuan said there was flooding in the south. When I came, where was the water? I just saw the army running around, so I followed them. There were thirteen pretty boys in white clothes in front of them. I looked at If you don’t like them, kill them all, their strength is very average.”

Nonsense, I had water symptoms four months ago, but after such a long time, all the water has dried up. Zhang was afraid that he was too lazy to explain anything to him, so he asked directly: "Why did you kill people?"

"Those who are not in our group should be killed." Zhang Tianfang's reason for killing is always simple: "But it's also quite boring. Those people at the pass fight every other day. You didn't see it. There are all corpses."

"I know." Zhang Pa replied. Just now, he flew around. Whether it was Yue or Wu, there was a special area near the rear army camp, where rows of corpses were parked. There was also a large camp for wounded soldiers in the rear tent. These were all injuries caused by fighting. Fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting is nothing but human lives.

Let's not talk about the camp for wounded soldiers in the rear tent. Let's go back to the battlefield. Dozens of miles of grassland were trampled flat, revealing the sandy ground. Every inch was irrigated with blood. The black blood covered the yellow land with black spots. The dried blood stains and pebbles and sand became the most common things on the battlefield. Here, life is no different from pebbles and sand.

"What have you done in the past few months?" Seeing that Zhang Pa was a little cold, Zhang Tianfang made small talk.

"Nothing, I accepted a few disciples." Zhang Pa said lightly. "You accepted a disciple? Where is it?" Zhang Tianfang asked. Zhang Pa pointed at the tent hidden in the forest and sighed, "What a waste of your cultivation, can't you use your spiritual sense to search?"

Zhang Tianfang pretended not to hear his sarcasm, rushed to the front of the tent, lifted the door curtain, took a look, then stepped back and asked, "Are they all children?"

When he lifted the door curtain, the children in the tent were startled. Not every child was sleeping. Some couldn't sleep, and saw a fierce-looking stranger lifting the door curtain, looking around and not looking like a good person, and immediately shouted, "There is a thief." All the children woke up, turned over, and ran out of the house. After coming out, they saw the stranger talking to Zhang Pa, and realized that they had misunderstood. They ran to Zhang Pa and sat down one after another, looking at the fierce tall man with questions.

Zhang Pa introduced him to the children: "His name is Zhang Tianfang, you can call him whatever you want." Zhang Tianfang was not happy: "What do you mean by calling him whatever you want? You are their master, and I am their uncle. Come on, call me uncle."

No child called him uncle. They called Zhang Pa brother, and of course they would not recognize Zhang Tianfang as their uncle, because they were of different generations. But they were even more reluctant to call this person brother, so they didn't say anything.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Zhang Tianfang was depressed: "What's the big deal? I will also accept a disciple tomorrow, and accept him as a hundred or eight."

"Aren't you afraid of being tired? Don't you find it annoying?" Zhang Pa asked lightly, and Zhang Tianfang frowned immediately: "Let's talk about accepting disciples later, let's go fight."

A few days ago, with the help of thirteen low-level sword cultivators, the Baiwu soldiers easily broke through the pass and killed three thousand miles into Yue land. They wanted to send troops to station. However, Liewu and Jinwu in China started fighting again. The masters of the two sword sects entangled the monks of the Bailian Sword Sect, allowing the coalition forces to break another city. The domestic situation was tense, and Bai Wu had no way of dividing its troops to defend foreign lands. It had to give up the land of Yue State and bring 400,000 captives back to the country, shrinking the front line back to the pass. It was really short of manpower, and the land it had obtained could only be given up.

As for the 400,000 captives, they were all taken to the domestic battlefield by them. They took their lives to fill the gap. Even if they didn't fight back and let the soldiers of Lie Wu and Jin Wu kill them, they would have to kill for half a day. Speaking of which, the generals of Bai Wu were also puzzled. More than 400,000 people, with swords and guns in their hands, why did they surrender? Didn't they fight once?

Zhang Pa didn't know these things. He only knew that there were 400,000 captives. He went to patrol just now and didn't see them. They should have been taken back to Wu State. He was thinking in his mind, how to save 400,000 lives?

In the war between the two countries, killing or being killed is normal, just like people eating meat, full of killing all the time. These things have never had anything to do with cultivators, but with the selfishness of those in power. Soldiers sell their lives for money, to put it bluntly, it's a job. Now is not a chaotic world, no one forces you to be a soldier, life or death is up to you, and cultivators don't care about these things. It's just that this time is a little different, 400,000, even if it's 40 straws, it will take a year to count, not to mention human lives.

Don't look at the 600,000 troops stationed on the border, in fact, 30,000 or 20,000 in normal combat are considered a major battle. The pass area is five miles wide, how many people can be deployed? Moreover, the passage is full of gullies and forts, and many arrangements have to be made to prevent the brave Wu soldiers from rushing into the Yue Kingdom. Therefore, in normal battles, the number of people involved is not large, and the number of casualties will naturally not be large. But this time an accident happened. The Bai Wu soldiers took advantage of the Yue army's unpreparedness and quickly conquered the passage with the help of the cultivators, easily capturing the unprepared soldiers in the rear, including the baggage camp and auxiliary soldiers, totaling 400,000 people.
