Chapter 313 Sacrifice: Divine Realm!

Outside Tiannan City, about one hundred and fifty miles away, near Chenhegou.

After some rest and preparation, the South Vietnamese soldiers began to gather and stand by. The vacuum buffer zone from Licheng to Tiannan Pass was almost three hundred miles in length.

After the previous mobilization, Zhang Ping immediately led his troops and headed straight for Tiannan Pass.

However, powerful warriors can ignore these distances, but most of the soldiers passing by with heavy loads need to replenish their physical strength, otherwise the exhausted troops will attack important towns protected by large formations.

It's no different from sending people to die in batches.

Even though he had the help of several great masters of the gods, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Of course, the main reason was that he wanted to see the Zhennan Army's reaction and see whether it really stood still as promised and put on a show for the Central Plains court.

If not, but a trap was set up, South Vietnam's losses would be too great this time.

Fortunately, Li Chengguo kept his promise.

Let go of your defenses and let them take action.

Of course, as a price, after Tiannan Pass kills Jiang Che, they will also have to cooperate with the Zhennan Army to act out a drama of being defeated. In this way, both sides can have an explanation.

"We have made such a big move, Tiannan Pass will probably get the news now." Zhou Yi sighed solemnly. They captured and killed more than ten Central Plains spies along the way.

But there is still no guarantee that it will not be exposed.

"It doesn't matter, what will happen even if that traitor Jiang Che finds out? He is the guard general of Tiannan Pass and has the responsibility of guarding the territory. He doesn't dare to run away. If he dares to run away, he won't need us.

He will be severely punished by the Central Plains court. Moreover, in my opinion, he may not necessarily run away. Without knowing that we have several great masters to help us, it may be in his opinion.

This might be an opportunity to make a meritorious deed. "

Zhang Ping smiled lightly, several grand masters came to help him, and 20,000 soldiers and horses obeyed the orders. At this moment, he was extremely confident. Even if Jiang Che had a grand master assisting him, he was not afraid at all.

Because as far as he knew, Jiang Che only had less than 10,000 garrison troops around him, plus the Scarlet Blood Demon Lord and the elder of the Qi family, this was all his strength.

Comparing the two, they have an absolute advantage.

Zhou Yi's eyes flashed, and he felt that Zhang Ping's words were not unreasonable. Jiang Che would definitely not dare to run away, and he might even be arrogant enough to fight them, but he thought about how extraordinary this person was.

He still warned:

"This boy is cunning, general, don't be careless."

"Don't worry, the general understands."

Zhang Ping waved his hand, then looked at the soldiers and horses in front of him, and said in a deep voice:

"The troops will be sent to Tiannan City in a quarter of an hour. We must arrive before dawn tomorrow."

"yes!"

"yes."

At this moment, inside Tiannan City.

Looking at the murderous streets and the many mobilized troops and horses, the leader of the Longhu Dao Sect, the Master Shenxu, gently stroked his long beard, with a faint smile flashing in his eyes.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of it when he had the opportunity, and forcefully deal with Jiang Che when he didn't have the opportunity. He couldn't tolerate such a hidden danger that kept threatening the Longhu Dao Sect.

As a result, before he could take action, the opportunity really came.

South Vietnam sent troops to attack Jiang Che.

This is definitely a good opportunity, which means that he will have an excellent excuse. As long as he takes action at the critical moment, no one will know the cause of Jiang Che's death.

All the blame can be placed on the strong men of South Vietnam.

No one would know that it was him who was plotting behind the scenes.

In this way, even if the Beiling Qi clan wanted revenge, they could only go to Nanmanzi.

It can be said to be the Taoist sect of Heaven.

"Sect Master, there is news."

While Lord Shenxu was thinking, Yan Ping quietly appeared behind him and bowed to him.

"explain."

"Jiang Che is not in the city at the moment. He seems to have taken away a group of elites to prepare for a sneak attack on the South Vietnamese military camp." Yan Ping reported with a solemn face, and the news he said was not a big secret in Tiannan City at this moment.

All officials with some power knew Jiang Che's situation at this moment.

And this was also done intentionally by Jiang Che.

"He is a Tiannan City guard. He is not in the city. What is he doing with his troops out of the city?" Taoist Shenxu frowned slightly, not quite understanding Jiang Che's thoughts.

"I don't understand this either, but according to the information I got, this person is either waiting for an opportunity to make a sneak attack, or he is hiding somewhere, waiting for the Zhennan Army to come for reinforcements."

"Is this news accurate?"

"It's almost correct, it has been spread throughout the city."

Lord Shenxu squinted his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Time passed very quickly, and the next day came in the blink of an eye. The sky was just getting dark, and suddenly, outside the south gate of Tiannan City, a rumbling sound suddenly started to sound from far to near, from light to heavy.

It's like black clouds cover the sky and thunder roars.

Seeing an endless torrent ahead, the deputy general guarding the city immediately began to beat the drum on the city gate tower, preparing to alert everyone in the city.

But in fact, there was no need to beat the drum, because the huge sound was enough to alarm everyone as the torrent approached. The people were panicked, and soldiers from all sides quickly began to gather.

At the same time, on the Tiannanguan city wall, lines began to light up, and the city defense formation opened.

Boxes after boxes of Yuanjing were quickly put in place, ready to supplement the power of the city defense formation at any time.

Qi Tianhe, Gao Qinian, and a group of Tiannan officials at all levels gathered one after another.

At the same time, Qi Wanjun also wore a blue armor and walked up to the crowd with a spear in hand, a solemn look on his face.

"Wanjun, it's too dangerous here. You go back first."

Qi Tianhe frowned.

Qi Wanjun shook his head, looked at Gao Qinian and said:

"I am Jiang Che's fiancée. When he sends troops to attack South Vietnam, I should defend his territory and control the territory for him. Besides, if foreigners come to attack, as a Central Plains person, I should also do my part."

Originally, Qi Ningbing and Huang Shanshan wanted to come, but they were dissuaded by Qi Wanjun. She was a master of Xuan Dan, and she had some trump cards to protect her life.

He has also experienced training at the northern border and is not afraid of foreign conquests.

But the two of them can't do it, their cultivation is too weak.

Seeing Qi Wanjun's resolute attitude, Qi Tianhe couldn't persuade her in front of so many people. He could only shake his head helplessly and be ready to take care of her at any time to avoid real danger.

Seeing this scene, Gao Qinian nodded:

"Thank you, Mrs. Jiang."

And because of Qi Wanjun's arrival, the confidence of many officials and soldiers in Tiannan City has greatly increased. She may not be much, but her identity represents Jiang Che.

It was actually very risky for Jiang Che to lead his troops away, because he was the commander-in-chief. Once he left, even though he explained that it was for a sneak attack, many people didn't think so.

They would only think that Jiang Che had provoked enemies in South Vietnam and did not dare to face them, so they left.

The arrival of Qi Wanjun will help stabilize the morale of the army.

On this point, Qi Wanjun had already said this before Jiang Che left. At that time, she also agreed to Qi Wanjun's participation in the battle, but she was not allowed to leave the city on her own initiative. Instead, she relied on the city's defense formation.

Outside the city, the torrent gradually stopped, and the 20,000 soldiers began to form a formation quickly and slowly advanced until they were about a hundred feet away from the city wall before they stopped. General Zhang Ping led Zhou Yi, each riding a strange beast, and slowly walked in front of the army.

"Where is Jiang Che, my son? That day you made a big fuss in our Yue Palace. Today is the time to retaliate. I have ordered you to take you back to the palace on the orders of our King of Nanyue.

If you have the courage, you can either go out of the city alone to repent, and I promise to retreat immediately and not invade the territory. Otherwise, on the day the city is breached, all of them, young and old, will be killed! "

Zhang Ping shouted loudly, and with the blessing of the vitality of heaven and earth, his voice was so powerful that it spread in all directions.

"You are so unbridled that the South Vietnamese barbarians dare to invade our land of Great Zhou. Today, you and others do not realize the power of heaven. In the future, South Vietnam will be destroyed and all your South Vietnamese citizens will be turned into slaves."

Gao Qinian, who was appointed as a guard general, responded angrily.

Then, many city wall soldiers also roared loudly:

"Kill the barbarians! Destroy South Vietnam."

"Kill the barbarians! Destroy South Vietnam."

"Hmph, attack the city!"

Zhang Ping snorted coldly and looked very ugly. As a general in South Vietnam, how could he not know what "barbarian" meant? That is the contempt of the Central Plains people.

At this moment, Jiang Che hasn't shown up yet, so he can't directly use his trump card.

Prepare to lead the army to attack the city first, and then look for opportunities.

Following his order, the 20,000 soldiers began to change formations and spread out, slowly approaching the city wall. At the same time, black evil aura and the blood of the soldiers continued to condense.

"Fire the arrow!"

Gao Qinian shouted lowly.

The soldiers who had been prepared for a long time fired thousands of arrows in an instant, including a large number of divine arm bows and breaking Gang arrows. If the quantity was large, even Master Xuan Dan's body-protecting Gang Qi would not be able to withstand it.

The South Vietnamese side also formed a defensive formation.

However, many South Vietnamese soldiers still fell under the rain of arrows.

However, even so, it did not stop the enthusiasm of the South Vietnamese soldiers to attack. When they were about fifty meters away, in an instant, the front row of soldiers began to disperse and rush towards the city wall.

And the formation instantly became extremely aggressive.

On top of the Tiannanguan city wall, the city defense formation was opened. Under the accumulation of a large amount of Yuanjing, rays of spiritual light began to escape, blasting towards the black South Vietnamese soldiers below.

A rain of light fell, and a group of soldiers fell down.

Like a sickle cutting wheat into pieces.

"The strength of the Zhongyuan formation is indeed well-deserved." Zhou Yi looked at this scene with a very solemn expression. The reason why the Zhongyuan could become a kingdom in the Celestial Empire was because of its inherent strength.

Whether it's formations, alchemy, or battle formations, they all far surpass Baiyue.

"No matter how strong the formation is, it is nothing in front of the truly strong. If this general and the other three guest ministers take action together, there is no hope of breaking the formation."

Zhang Ping snorted softly.

"If Jiang Che doesn't show up, it's best not to show his trump card directly. This person is really not as simple as I thought. I am actually very afraid of him." Zhou Yi shook his head.

"No matter how simple he is, he is just a Xuandan Grandmaster."

"General Zhang, don't you think it's strange?"

"Um?"

"We all started to attack the city with great fanfare, but why didn't that kid Jiang Che show up? Is he not in Tiannan City?" Zhou Yi suddenly asked.

Zhang Ping was stunned:

"If he's not in the city, then where can he be?"

At the same time, when the South Vietnamese side was launching a massive attack on the city, Jiang Che personally led 800 elite troops to arrive in front of Licheng, which lasted 12 hours and forced them to trek more than 300 miles.

It can be described as a rapid march, basically without much rest in the middle.

Just at dawn, we arrived outside Li City.

Looking at the almost undefended South Vietnamese town, Jiang Che also had a smile on his lips. No matter what, if he could lead the troops to break through the South Vietnamese town this time.

It can definitely be regarded as a great achievement.

"Sir, please order me to raid Li City."

Qi Huan rode a different breed of war horse and came to Jiang Che and said in a deep voice.

"There's no rush. It won't be too late to attack the city after breakfast. Licheng is already a fat man." Jiang Che smiled. After a long journey, he was already approaching the limit of his soldiers.

"My subordinates don't think so. I think we should go all out and capture Licheng directly. After capturing Licheng, it won't be too late to have breakfast. My subordinates are willing to be the vanguard.

Take the lead and be the first to get there. "

Qi Huan looked serious and his fighting spirit was high.

Jiang Che stared at Qi Huan for a few times, then smiled:

"You can always come up with some new tricks for me. Since you have this intention, then well, take Licheng, and then have breakfast and eat in Licheng."

"I obey my orders!"

Qi Huan nodded heavily.

Afterwards, Qi Huan galloped on his horse, called on eight hundred elite men, and began to mobilize his troops.

In an instant, the 800 hidden cavalrymen began to surge towards Li City like a black torrent. The huge momentum made the ground tremble continuously.

Above the city gate of Licheng.

The confused soldier suddenly felt a chill in his heart, looked at the torrent in the distance with a horrified face, and shouted loudly:

"Alert, alert for enemy sneak attacks!"

"Enemy forces sneak attack."

"Where's the big formation? Start the formation quickly."

"Where is the general? General."

In an instant, the unprepared Licheng defenders quickly fell into chaos. There were actually many reasons for this panic. One of them was that it was early in the morning.

The soldiers on the night watch were drowsy, and it was time for the changing of the guard.

On the other hand, none of them expected that the Central Plains soldiers and horses would suddenly attack. Even Zhang Ping did not think Jiang Che had that ability. Therefore, the orders left behind were normal precautions.

Now, the army is making a surprise attack, so they are naturally panicked.

Of course, as an important town in South Vietnam, there are still some generals guarding this place, who quickly began to stabilize the situation and prepare for defense, but at this moment, it was already a bit late.

Cavalry raids, especially alien cavalry, are very fast.

As soon as the morale of the army was stabilized, the soldiers and horses led by Qi Huan had already arrived near the city wall. Then, Qi Huan stepped on his horse and jumped, just as the formation was about to start.

Climb directly onto the city wall.

A quarter of an hour later, Licheng, an important town in South Vietnam, declared its fall.

Above the city, Jiang Che's flag was quickly raised.

A large number of soldiers also committed massacres in the city.

Jiang Che stood at the top of the city, looking at the horizon in the distance, and slowly closed his eyes.

His mind sank into the space of the heavenly monument, preparing to start the next sacrifice.

[Sacrifice target: Breakthrough Divine Aspect. 】

[The cost of the sacrifice: one thousand yuan crystals and one piece of Taiyin Xuanyuan spiritual energy.]
