Chapter 247: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand (1/2)

"Fortunately I came to the boundary gate to check it out, otherwise wouldn't the third sister be harmed by these bastards?" Feng Tianzong thought angrily.

He never considered that the Wanfa Sect actually wanted to deal with him. Because he was very confident in his own strength. As long as the old monster of the Nascent Soul didn't come out, he was invincible in the Golden Core Realm.

Even against weaker Nascent Soul cultivators, he had a certain chance of winning. After all, not all Nascent Soul cultivators have top-grade magic weapons.

It is very difficult to refine top-grade magic weapons. Either you have the top-grade materials or it takes a long time.

The top-grade materials are something that the entire cultivation world is pursuing. The quantity is limited, and it is a great opportunity to encounter them.

If there is no top-grade material to refine, then you can only rely on mana to slowly sacrifice. For example, a magic weapon like Wanchongshan consumes a long time and countless mana to slowly warm and refine.

The number of puppets that have been passed down from generation to generation in the entire sect is very limited, and even more rare than those top-level materials.

There are so many people in a sect, but the number of inherited top-grade magic weapons is limited. It is really uncertain who will get them in the end.

Just like the puppets of the Puppet Sect, although there are many puppets inherited in the sect, many of them are to be sealed as the foundation of the sect.

For example, the lineage of Master Feng Tianzong passed down a complete set of twenty-eight constellations copper essence puppets. However, in the generation of Master Cheng Jingming, the junior uncle is the most talented, and the Taoist tradition of this lineage will eventually be passed on to the junior uncle. Most of the inherited puppets in the hands of the master will be passed on to the junior uncle.

There will definitely be no good things passed down on the side of Master Cheng Jingming, and in the end, they can only fight for themselves.

It’s not the master’s favoritism. The inheritance of the entire cultivation world is basically this process. It’s almost the same as inheriting a family property in the mortal world, and it must not be divided equally.

The war mobilization on the Shang side was done very quickly, and the enthusiasm of the people was also reflected in the efficiency. When making money, no one wants to fall behind.

In less than half a month, 400,000 people gathered in Jiemen Pass, of which only 100,000 were regular troops. The rest were all support teams organized by civilian organizations in various parts of Dashang.

In name, they were support teams, but everyone knew why they came here. They were preparing to rob Daxia.

Of course, when necessary, the Dashang government can recruit these people at any time. After all, these people have been practicing martial arts since childhood and have received military training in school.

"Your Majesty, Jiemen Pass is now overcrowded, and many people are setting up tents outside the city. This won't work. We can't afford the food consumption in Jiemen Pass." The guard of Jiemen Pass reported to Feng Tianzong in embarrassment.

Jiemen Pass did prepare a lot of food, but this was only prepared according to the amount of 100,000 troops for one year. Now 400,000 people are pouring in at once, and they are all martial artists, all young and strong. They are all big-bellied men.

Even if these people pay for food, there is only so much food in the city, and it takes time to transport it from the rear. The small Jiemen Pass gathers two-fifths of the population of Dashang.

"This is indeed a problem, but now the people support the court so much, if we let them go back, it will affect the morale of the people.

Do you have any solution to the problem? Increase the transportation volume from the rear." Feng Tianzong said.

"Your Majesty, it's not that we don't want to increase transportation, but now most of the food in our treasury has been concentrated in Jiemen Pass.

Our savings over the years have basically been consumed in the last war.

The last war not only had to bear the military food, but also the food for the people who were looted for a year. Before their food was harvested, they had to eat the savings of the court." The officials below said in embarrassment.

Feng Tianzong, the emperor, was a hands-off shopkeeper. Many situations below were directly handed over to Wang Mingyuan and the two concubines.

For such a large country, how much food is there, how long can it be consumed, and how long can it support consumption during wartime. They are all different. Feng Tianzong really doesn't know much about these.

"The key is food. If I can be given another two years, when my wheat trees are successfully planted, and hundreds of thousands of acres of wheat trees are planted, the entire Shang Dynasty will no longer lack food." Feng Tianzong secretly hated in his heart. Time is still pressing!

"Since we can't drag it out, let's go to war directly! Why should we wait for the other party to make the first move? The first to strike is the strongest, and the last to strike will suffer.

It just so happens that our army has been assembled now, so there is no need to wait for the other party to make a move, let's launch an attack directly!" Feng Tianzong said fiercely.

Feng Tianzong gave an order, and 100,000 soldiers went out of the boundary gate and attacked the other camp directly. The army was dispatched, and the subsequent 300,000 troops spontaneously organized by the people were temporarily under the temporary command of the army.

It's not that these people need to attack the city, that's the work of the regular army. The main task of the battle team composed of these people is to sweep the villages and towns outside the city.

There aren't many troops stationed in the villages and towns, and there isn't much benefit, so it's not worth it for the regular army to take action. It's just right for these tasks to be handled by the war teams formed by the people.

It can also save the regular army a lot of work, as they just need to focus on attacking the opponent's main camp.

The mighty army of 400,000 people looked like an endless dragon from the sky. Since Daxia was preparing to attack the Jiemen Pass, it had naturally been paying attention to the movements of the Jiemen Pass.

Because of the dragon energy, the entire Jiemen Pass was impenetrable, and outsiders had no recognition of Dashang. In the eyes of the Tianming Xuanniao, such people were as conspicuous as torches in the dark night.

In fact, after the luck of other countries condensed, they also had this ability, but after the luck of other countries condensed, they were unconscious. Although it would be controlled by the emperor, the control would not be very fine. After all, this luck also gathered the beliefs of the people.

The Tianming Xuanniao of Dashang was different. It was a special puppet refined by Feng Tianzong. It was a powerful existence with the formation as the body and the dragon vein of Dashang as the core.

The entire Xiuxian world was so-called before. After all, in the previous Xiuxian world, the secular dynasties were not valued, and most of the people who controlled the secular dynasties were not highly cultivated.

Feng Tianzong's creation turned the entire Tianming Xuanniao into a powerful puppet, which not only possessed wisdom that was not inferior to that of humans, but also had powerful abilities to control the dragon veins and formations of the entire Shang Dynasty.

As the national strength of the Shang Dynasty increased, the Tianming Xuanniao became more and more powerful. Although Feng Tianzong, as the master, could control the Tianming Xuanniao, he was not very clear about how powerful the Tianming Xuanniao was now. He only knew that with the current power of the city defense formation, it was enough to keep the Yuanying cultivator.

The Tianming Xuanniao and Feng Tianzong were close and could communicate with each other at any time. With the control of the Tianming Xuanniao, except for a few merchants from other places, it can be said that all the people in the entire Shang Dynasty were loyal to the Shang Dynasty.

Those few merchants who did not identify with the Shang Dynasty would be subject to very large restrictions. Many things were not open to them. Even when these people went out, there would be warriors from the government following them.

Therefore, the Great Xia Dynasty still knew nothing about the great mobilization of the whole country of the Great Shang. They only received news that there were cultivators in Jiemen Pass who were testing the cultivation qualifications of children from ordinary families.

"Report! It's bad. The Jiemen Pass has sent troops." Soon, a scout reported the movement of the Great Shang to the Great Xia garrison.

"How many people are there? Did Feng Tianzong take action?" The chief general of the Great Xia Dynasty asked thoughtfully. He is also a cultivator of the Wanfa Sect, and he is also a foundation-building cultivator. He has some status in the Wanfa Sect. He has the ability to command troops, so he can become a chief general of an army.

He can't intervene in the competition for the Jindan cultivators. All he can do is fight with the army of the Great Shang.

"Report, I don't know how many there are, it's endless. The Jiemen Pass is still sending out troops. According to their flags, at least 300,000 troops have been sent out now, and more are coming out in the future." The spy said in horror.

"The fake merchants only occupy the barren land in the northern border. Where do they get so many people? To support so many troops?" Wang Hongjun, the chief general of Daxia, was also shocked by this number.

Feng Tianzong's strength killed many Jindan cultivators in the sect, and he had heard of Feng Tianzong's fierce reputation. But the mortals' fight for the dragon is still dominated by the mortal army. He felt that with his ability, he could still help Senior Brother Wan Honggang.

"The fake merchants are militaristic. If everyone is a soldier, they can still gather so many troops. The failure of the last war allowed the fake merchants to capture millions of people from our side.

Presumably, the captured people have become slaves of the fake merchants and are working hard for them. It's just that the people are suffering." An official said with a look of compassion.

"Everyone is a soldier, militaristic? Feng Tianzong is really crazy. How can we cultivators do such a disregard for the lives of mortals?" The chief general Wang Hongjun said angrily.

"Marshal, Senior Brother Wan Honggang is not ready yet, and some people from the sect have not arrived yet. If we start a war with Feng Tianzong now, I'm afraid we don't have much chance of winning!" A cultivator from the Wanfa Sect said worriedly.

"At this point, we don't have any good solutions. We can only inform Senior Brother Wan Honggang and the sect about the matter, hoping that the elders in the sect can come up with a good solution!

All we can do now is to deal with the enemy as soon as he comes. Get ready to fight!" Wang Hongjun said helplessly. As the commander-in-chief, facing this uncontrollable situation, he can only choose to fight.

He can only hope that Feng Tianzong, as a Jindan cultivator, can follow some rules and martial ethics, and not personally attack him, a small foundation-building cultivator.

It's a pity that Feng Tianzong has never been a man of martial ethics.

"Wang Meng, you lead the stone-armored pig heavy cavalry to charge first, break through the camp directly, and make a hole for me. I will let the giant gray wolf cavalry follow behind you to expand and tear open this hole." Feng Tianzong ordered.

"Yes!" The tall stone-armored pig heavy cavalry leader Wang Meng, wearing a ferocious bone armor, looked like a demon god descending to the world.

The sitting stone-armored pig also used the innate magical power of stone armor. The originally tall monster body, after wearing a layer of stone armor, looked even bigger, like a heavy truck. When walking, you can feel that the earth is shaking with its footsteps.

"Charge!" Wang Meng held a long-handled broadsword in one hand, pointed diagonally upwards and gave the order, and then rushed out first.

Behind him, there were ten stone-armored pig heavy cavalrymen, lined up in a row and followed closely behind him. Behind them were three hundred giant wolf cavalrymen wearing iron and wood armor.

The monsters charged in groups, and the earth was shaking constantly. Not to mention the simple camps built by the Great Xia Dynasty, even the tall walls of the regular cities were vulnerable to the charge of the stone-armored pig heavy cavalry.

"Boom!" The gate of the camp was smashed by Wang Meng. The soldiers of the Great Xia side did not even have the courage to resist. Facing such a tall monster, and a monster wearing stone armor. The fact that they could stand and face it already showed that the military discipline of the Great Xia was strict.

"Report, Marshal, the front camp gate was breached!" Soon the news reached the central army tent.

Wang Hongjun was discussing countermeasures with several people, but he did not expect that with just one charge, the army of the Great Shang Dynasty had already broken through the front camp.

"How could it be so fast? Did the cultivators on the other side attack?" Wang Hongjun said nervously. If Feng Tianzong on the other side attacked, he would have to run quickly. He was a cultivator in the foundation-building period, and he had no chance of winning against Feng Tianzong.

"No, the cultivators on the other side attacked the monster cavalry. Those monster cavalry were very powerful. The camp we built was completely useless in front of these monster cavalry." The generals below reported in grief and anger.

This was really a crime without fighting. It was not that they were not serious in the battle, but that the opponent was too cheating, and the combat power was completely inhuman.

"General, otherwise please ask the immortal master in the army to take action! Those monster cavalry are not something that ordinary soldiers can resist." The general who came to report pleaded.

This general was just a mortal, and he didn't know many rules of the immortal world. He only knew that only immortal masters could deal with monsters. That was not something that ordinary troops could resist.

Wang Hongjun shook his head. He didn't dare to take action at all. But if he continues to fight like this, I'm afraid his hundreds of thousands of elite troops will be left here.

The monster cavalry is invincible, and ordinary troops can't resist it at all.
