Chapter 128 Before the Battle

Chapter 128 Before the Battle

Tushanjun came down the mountain.

Xiong Zan, who was pretending to be dead, got up from the ground.

Looking at the other three ghosts, he admitted openly: "He is so strong."

"You're going to be beaten to death, can you not be strong?" The old man sighed, Xiong Zan was too impulsive.

This is also his fault. If he had not spoken after eating the pill that was split in half, but had taken another whole pill, there would have been no further misunderstandings.

I still don't know if Tu Shanjun will have any objections to them, so his expression is inevitably a little more worried.

Tushanjun's strength can also be seen from the side, he is indeed very strong.

After all, Xiong Zhen was a ghost at the ninth level of qi training, and he was still transformed into a spirit. However, he was pressed down and beaten without any room for maneuver. This had to be shocking.

The zombie said nothing.

The female ghost also sighed, there was indeed something wrong with this matter.

But Xiong Zhen is such a reckless person that he doesn't know what caution is. Therefore, I can’t blame Xiong Zhen. It’s good to be able to compensate him in the end.

The stronger Tushanjun is, the more likely they are to succeed in Nanyue Mountain.

Da Tou, who was hiding aside, looked at Tu Shanjun's back and felt more and more that it was a wise choice not to take action that day.

It's not that he can't beat him, but he doesn't know how many trump cards Tushanjun has.

Besides, fighting a ghost who is ready to die together at any time, regardless of victory or defeat, will always be a loss. The current good situation is very good.

Whether it's breath fluctuations or routine techniques, there are traces to follow and they are quite clever.

This shows that Tu Shanjun's origin is indeed extraordinary. Lonely ghosts do not have such good resources. They should be ghost cultivators transformed from Yangcheng monks as he thought.

Datou no longer thinks too much, now he just accumulates enough elixirs and waits until his strength improves.

As for the little tricks the four ghosts made, he didn't care. It just happened to allow them to test out what Tu Shanjun was hiding, whether it was pills or strength.

"One hundred and eighty, I always feel that he still has something to hide." Big Head pondered.

Although the contact time was not long, based on his understanding of Tushanjun, one hundred and eighty should not be the limit.

Doing the math, Tushanjun has at least two hundred pills in his hand. If all two hundred pills fall into his hands, Datou is confident that he will advance to the next level within half a year.

This requires thinking of ways to obtain more resources from Tushanjun.

Return to the small village.

He looked at Wen Yue who looked worried: "Sir?"

I was supposed to come back at a normal time, but I didn't expect that I would need a lot of mana support later. Wen Yue thought there was some emergency, but fortunately it was only for a moment.

Tu Shanjun nodded, and then used voice transmission to enter the secret: "Go back and talk."

The two disappeared into the vast night.

It was dark when we returned to the Hou Mansion.

In fact, Tu Shanjun was also responsible for that misunderstanding. He forgot to explain the potency of the pill to the four ghosts.

When the Yinhun Pill is intact, it is fully effective. Generally, if it is damaged, most of its potency will be lost.

Never mind if it breaks a little or splits in half or turns to powder.

This should also be regarded as a drawback of elixirs.

At that time, he got thirty ghosts again. Tushanjun felt happy and wanted to go back to improve his strength, so he left in a hurry and did not explain clearly to the four ghosts.

Besides, this matter is really not a big deal. They are all ghosts who have taken the Yinhun Pill, so they should know the potency of the medicine very well.

As long as the complete elixir is taken, there will be no fluctuations. Who would have thought that they would eat it in half and end up misunderstanding.

The misunderstanding was resolved, and fifty advanced ghosts were obtained from them as compensation.

Although I only got thirty pieces, I can pick up the rest next time.

With a total of one hundred and fifty-eight ghosts in his hands, his improvement in strength is a certainty.

Tu Shanjun has no idea of ​​incorporating these four ghosts into the soul banner yet.

After all the ghosts in their hands are absorbed, Tu Shanjun estimates that he can have the strength of the eleventh level of Qi training. At that time, inviting the Four Ghosts and the Big Head Soul-Entering Banner to help him break through to the foundation-building realm is the best choice.

As seven third-level Yin souls, thirty-two second-level Yin souls, and one hundred and eighteen advanced Yin souls entered the soul flag, Tu Shanjun clearly felt that his strength had improved again.

Breaking through the boundaries of the later stage and entering the tenth level of Qi training.

I have reached the edge of perfect Qi training.

With the addition of so many Yin Souls, the number of Yin Soul Pills extracted increased rapidly.

This is nearly four times the profit.

There are more than 680 Yinhun Pills in his hand.

Tu Shanjun opened the properties panel. The other options did not change much, only two changes were relatively large.

Soul absorbing: Extract living souls from dead corpses, and absorb the living soul ghosts whose strength is lower than the main soul. (The current main soul strength is ‘tenth level of Qi training’).

Soul storage: The soul flag can store ghosts and ghosts. The current storage is (602/1,000).

There are more than 600 evil spirits stored in the Thousand Soul Banner, and Tu Shanjun's strength has also reached the tenth level of Qi training.

There are no years of practice, plus plenty of Yinhun Dan.

After another month of hard work, Wen Yue finally advanced to the sixth level of Qi training.

With the master of the banner at the sixth level of Qi training, plus the main soul at the tenth level, there are more than 600 ghosts and ghosts in the banner. Even a monk with a perfect Qi training can fight it.

Tu Shanjun doesn't think he can compete with the foundation-building monks. Looking at the records of the foundation-building monks in Yuan Ling Gong, you can find that the foundation-building monks are not comparable to Qi training at all.

Idle time is also idle, Tushanjun plans to start a furnace and cast a magic weapon.

It happened that I also got some tips on how to refine weapons from Wen Lichun, and also studied many books provided by the worship building. It was time to practice with those accumulated materials.

…

By the end of March, the ice and snow had already melted.

The water level of the Luo River rose rapidly due to the influx of snow water.

The exploration horses of Tongguan City were released one after another, and then recovered one after another.

Both brought very bad news.

The army of the Northern Wei Dynasty has been assembled, and the total of the three armies is close to 300,000.

Tuoba, Yuwen, and the Yuan family of the Northern Wei Dynasty all appeared in the army.

The big ship floated on the surface of the Luo River, and the attendants were preparing to go south to cut off Tongguan's supply route.

When he learned the news, Annenberg looked solemn.

He thought Emperor Wei was crazy.

This is all done to destroy the foundation of the country.

Could it be that the loss of the 150,000 troops did not give Emperor Wei a warning?

At this time, both countries need to recuperate and recuperate. With another 300,000 troops, even if they break through Tongguan, it will be like drinking poison to quench their thirst. What's more, the big city of Tongguan is extremely tough, and 60,000 soldiers can defend several times the strength.

"Report, Commander, Yuwen Banner has set up camp a hundred miles away. We have lost six brothers."

After listening to the scout's information, Anannbo frowned, but he had no other choice: "Explore again."

"Here."

Tongguan lets the scouts out again.

An Nanbo studied ink and began to write the memorial.

Not to mention the anomalies of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he could not handle the nearly 300,000 troops. He could only write to the court to request support. Moreover, the court also needed to send warships to block the warships of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so that the Northern Wei Dynasty could not sneak down the river and attack from behind.

In fact, the Northern Wei Dynasty has not been idle in the past two months, frequently letting soldiers and horses test it.

Sometimes there are thousands, sometimes small groups kill the scouts.

Although there was no good fruit to eat in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it also made Tongguan very nervous.

If you don't let the scouts go, you are no different than a blind man. You can only scatter the soldiers, and then provide supplementary protection, and quickly recover them after getting the information.

In this case, the efficiency can be higher and the soldiers will not be exhausted.

Inside Tongguan, the atmosphere was solemn.

Although there is no clear statement, the people in the pass know that another war is coming, so they are all very energetic.

"Boss, looking at this situation, we are probably going to fight again." Ergou looked at Tietou beside him with his hands folded.

Tietou, who became a school captain, was promoted to a partial general because of his meritorious service, and officially transformed from a soldier to a general.

With 1,200 men under his command, he can truly bear the title of general.

"Old ghost?" Tietou looked at the old ghost.

The old ghost threw down the hair in his hand and sighed: "This time, it is different from usual. According to preliminary estimates, the Northern Wei Dynasty has an army of 300,000."

"We brothers came out just for military glory. With the Marquis protecting us, we don't have to worry about being greedy for credit."

"If we don't fight, I don't know when I will be promoted." Xiao Wu also changed into a centurion's armor. Even after returning to Liangdu, he would be more or less respectfully called 'general', which is quite impressive. A grade, although only from the ninth grade.

"It's a pity that the Marquis is not here."

When everyone mentioned Wen Yue, they all sighed together.

Now, only half a year has passed, and the brothers have all changed.

Their combat power is higher than that of ordinary people. They are skilled in fighting on the battlefield and are skilled in military formations. They are not comparable to new recruits at all. They can be promoted with heads. In the recent small-scale trial, Tietou beheaded dozens of people, which can be said to be He is a fierce general.

Without the constraints of civil servants, the top and bottom of Tongguan completely condensed into a rope. This was also due to the fact that Wen Yue had nothing to do after returning to Liangdu, and instead he was promoted to a higher position.

Annanbo was a commander who knew how to fight, so the number of soldiers lost was not high.

Now everyone can see that the original small-scale battle was just a test, and the big battle is not yet coming.

"Tongguan."

The general of the Northern Wei Dynasty sat on a horse and stood on the mountain, overlooking the great city of Tongguan. The city was so majestic that if it were filled with human lives, there was no telling how many people would die.

It was hard to disobey the king's orders. Even if they knew it was difficult to attack, they still had to take down Tongguan City.

"How is the deployment of engineering equipment going?"

"Go back to the commander. They are being shipped. Once assembled, we can attack the city by the end of the month."

Large ships were used to transport siege equipment, catapults were used to cover the buildings, carts stretched their arms to climb the stairs, arrows rained on their feet, and giant crossbow arrows were attached to hooks and locks.

The siege beast that crashed into the door was ready to attack.

Not to mention that Tongguan is a big city that is difficult to break. Even if it is really made of copper, they still have to tear it open.

…

"Eight hundred miles urgent!"

"Report."

"Report!!!"

The long cry cut through the hazy morning in Liangdu, waking up all those who were still sleeping.

A red flag is tied to the communications officer.

Three cavalry accompanied him, a team of eight people.

Eight hundred miles of expedited work, a total of one hundred memorials.

People stopped, horses stopped, and memorials continued.

At the midway station, people and horses were changed, and the horses were accelerated.

Not to mention the bandits who didn't dare to intercept the Eight Hundred Miles Express, even the demons and ghosts had to give way.

A memorial went straight to the court.

Let’s hold a big court meeting again.

Emperor Liang's expression was solemn and gloomy, and there was no need to keep his emotions secret now. The Northern Wei Dynasty raised an army of 300,000 to formally attack the city. If reinforcements were not sent, there would definitely be trouble at Tongguan.

"My dear friends, do you have any countermeasures?"

"I think we will mobilize the three major battalions in Kyoto and the garrison troops from various states and counties to overcome this difficulty first."

"Your Majesty, the Northern Wei Dynasty is coming fiercely, but the great city of Tongguan is tough and cannot be broken by ordinary people."

"..."

Emperor Liang asked again: "Who do you think can be the commander-in-chief of the army?"

"this……"

With Wen Yue's lesson learned, they didn't want to go, but the nobles in Liangdu were almost beaten last time. Now the only ones left are the old, weak, sick and disabled. If they really want to send people, they can only send the old people.

"Your Majesty, An Nanbo and Song Haoke are the commander-in-chief."

"I second the proposal."

Emperor Liang pondered, in fact, before the court meeting started, Marquis Wu An had already sent a memorial, asking for a fight.

But there has never been any precedent of sending Qi practitioners to the battlefield.

And since the last time, Emperor Liang really didn't want to have anything to do with Marquis Wu'an.

He wished that Wen Yue would quickly go to practice immortality and stay away from the secular world.
