The Book of Troubled Times

Earlier, when the Immortal God took back his divided soul, Sanniang and Huangfu Yongxian had already encountered the most difficult battle along the way.

During the past few days of marching, Chili was initially harassed by Chili who used the cover of wind and sand to appear and disappear. Cui Yuanyong, Situ Xiao and others led the troops to patrol back and forth to maintain the stability of the march. Chili attacked several times but returned without success.

Chi Li had never seen Situ Xiao before. This guy was ranked slightly lower than Cui Yuanyong. I heard he was addicted to alcohol, which was a big no-no for marching guards. I originally thought it would be easier to bully him, but after changing directions and trying to harass him a few times, Chili said he would rather deal with Cui Yuanyong than see Situ Xiao's unshaven face again.

What is the iron lock across the river, the iron wall and the copper wall?

For Zhao Changhe to be able to hold off against the Immortal God for so long, the defensive ability of Master Situ Xiao and Li Shentong played a huge role, which perfectly fit Zhao Changhe's strategy. The same set of gadgets used in a mortal battle would be even more useless. Situ Xiao alone dared to block the entire army, and swords, guns, swords and halberds didn't even make a mark on him.

Totally cheating.

Fortunately, it doesn't actually matter whether the so-called harassment can be successful or not.

In the next few days, just as Huangfu Yongxian had judged, the area around the Xuanwu Dharma Protector began to form a muddy, swamp-like protective zone due to many days of moisture. It was difficult for Chili to ride in this mud. gallop. So in the next few days, even the harassment stopped, so it didn't matter.

Because the harassment was just to create an illusion, Huangfu Qing, who was the first-time coach, and Zhao Changhe, a layman in the war, misjudged that they would use this harassment to delay the march, which meant that there was no main force of the Hu people here; Coupled with the previous collision between the souls of Temur and Zhao Changhe, they really thought that Temur and the main force of the Hu people were on their side.

In fact, the God of Immortality stirred up vast winds of sand in the desert not to cover the attacking troops of Chi Li and others, but to cover the movements and arrangements of Timur's army.

Under the cover of the invisible wind and sand, Timur had already opened a dragnet, waiting for the arrival of Huangfu Yongxian's main force.

This is the real decisive battle of humanity that can most determine the fortunes of Hu and Han. The amount of troops invested by both sides and the level of participation of the major tribes in the grassland are far from comparable to that of Zhao Changhe.

It's very similar to the division of labor between Wei and Huo... But before that, the Han army seemed to have misjudged where the main force was. Almost all the imperial realms were on the east road, and there was only one Xuanwu left here.

"Whoosh!" The enchanting Xuanwu snake whip behind him was heavily entangled, trapping the soul of the immortal god. In front of him was another Xuanwu with a calm demeanor, punching out like a mountain, hitting the heart of the god's soul.

These days, I don't know if this part of the soul is haunting her, or if Sanniang is deliberately using this second level of Yujing's part of the soul to sharpen herself, otherwise there is no need to fight for so long. After feeling that one soul and two uses had already gained a lot and that there was nothing new in the struggle, Sanniang stopped grinding and finally killed her.

As a result, as soon as the iron fist hit, the ghost disappeared, not even bothering her to cause any trouble in the end. Sanniang closed her fist, and her two souls took two steps facing each other. A ripple of water waves collided and they merged into one body.

Sanniang turned her head and looked at the place where the immortal soul disappeared, and thought slightly. This split soul didn't seem to be driven away by him. It seemed that he felt that he was struggling on the Eastern Front and was too lazy to accompany her to continue acting.

But since he can walk, it probably means that Timur's arrangement has been completed.

During the time she was fighting with this soul, she had no time to use her spiritual consciousness to spy on the thousands of miles around her. It was so windy and sandy outside that she really didn't know what the scene was like in the distance. Even though Huangfu Yongxian was always watching the road, he probably couldn't see too far ahead of his mere second-level secret treasure.

Sanniang sent a message to Huangfu Yongxian, looking at the wind and sand in the sky as the god's soul left without anyone to control it, Sanniang suddenly punched again.

The fist wind that can stop tsunamis is used here, and it can naturally blow away the wind and sand.

Seeing that the wind and sand began to recede, but before they could retreat, Huangfu Yongxian suddenly raised his spear to the sky and shouted: "Stop the whole army! The front troops set up their shields, and after the confrontation, the three armies returned to their own formations!"

The messenger quickly sent orders to the three armies, and the well-trained soldiers began to quickly arrange their troops. During this process, some keen soldiers had already felt a slight sensation on the ground in the distance, as if an earthquake was spreading to this place.

"This is... cavalry coming! Many... from all directions!"

As the voices of the scouts crouched down and listened sounded, the wind and sand finally dissipated.

Looking up into the distance, one could vaguely see a line of black appearing on the horizon in the distance, and then overwhelming the sky from all directions, like an endless wave, rushing towards their position.

Countless prairie cavalry!

The smoke and dust kicked up by the horses' hooves were no less dense than the previous wind and sand, and could not be seen from the sky.

This time the decisive battle of Mobei, the real main force of the tribes led by Khan King Temur, is here. Except for the rear route, there are no soldiers and horses, and the other three sides are all countless torrents, approaching in the blink of an eye.

The so-called absence of a retreat was just a move to make the Han army lose their fighting spirit and run away on their own. This Han army is basically infantry, with only a very small number of cavalry for strategic purposes. Once it starts to flee, it is impossible to outrun the pursuit of hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and it will definitely die!

Fortunately, this army is mainly composed of the former Yanmen garrison. It is the most elite army of the Han Dynasty that Huangfu Yongxian has been with for many years. There are countless torrents coming from these three sides. Although it is frightening, at least there is no chaos and they are quickly listed. Formed a formation.

Fortunately, Sanniang warned her earlier, otherwise she would have been in trouble only to find out when she was rushed in front of her.

"Huangfu Yongxian... you have been a coward in Yanmen Pass for decades, and today you can finally fight it out openly on the battlefield. How wonderful!"

Timur's proud voice spread easily throughout hundreds of miles, showing that he was now at the peak of the first level of the imperial realm, and he seemed to be worthy of being number one on the heavenly list.

Sanniang narrowed her eyes, and even felt that this guy was a bit of a half-step double... Strange, why is it so fast? This shouldn't be the case. Sanniang had personally experienced the earlier Battle of Yanmen. At that time, Timur obviously didn't break the imperial guard. If he could break the imperial guard at most, he would be after Dragon Slaying, which is generally broken by everyone. How can he take half a step in this time? It’s double time. Is there something wrong here?

Huangfu Yongxian obviously would not argue with Timur, and silently commanded the formation. Timur didn't get a comfortable response, so he pointed his finger at Sanniang, who was still floating in the air: "Master Xuanwu... the previous souls of the gods were just to tease you... Your true opponent is Ben Khan. "

He paused for a moment and seemed to be mocking: "Actually, Xuanwu and Zhuque are not warriors at all. Their nature is closer to ours. They are half warriors and half priests. The one I want to fight the most is yours. Zhao Changhe, the New Night Emperor, is a real warrior. He can chop with swords and shoot arrows, and his bravery is unparalleled. It is a pity that the fate has not come yet, and we can only meet him in a hurry. It is a pity... Forgive me for speaking frankly. The strength shown in the battle between gods and souls is probably no match for Ben Khan now."

Sanniang is indeed half a spell caster. The reason why she did not stop the cavalry charge to gain time for her to set up her formation during these words was that she was silently casting spells... But after listening to the whole process, she was stunned for a moment and was amused by these words. : "What do you mean, you think so highly of my men that you despise me?"

Timur laughed and said: "Your Majesty once sold wine as a hawker in Huangshaji. Why not continue to do so? The grassland heroes will be happy to patronize."

Sanniang's eyes were full of murderous intent, but her mouth was still full of charm: "The Great Khan seems to have still not understood one thing... We are in a war, not a duel between warriors. In a war, the value of a spellcaster cannot be estimated by the Great Khan. In our eyes, Bo'er is much more troublesome than you..."

Timur laughed loudly: "Just because I don't cast spells doesn't mean that I can't break spells, not to mention that you won't have the opportunity to control your spells..."

As he spoke, his tone suddenly became solemn, full of murderous intent: "The charging distance is about to enter the range we are good at, so there is no need for your lord to try to protect them. Die!"

"Boom!" A spear shadow came with a bang, and arrived in front of Sanniang in the blink of an eye.

Sanniang's expression was very serious. The Xuanwu Dharma image that had been blessing the army below for several days had been withdrawn, and she did not dare to be distracted anymore. She waved her slender hand, and an arc-shaped ice mirror appeared in front of her. Timur's war spear pierced it and slid across the ice, failing to break through the Xuanwu Barrier.

But even so, Sanniang still swayed slightly. Shou did hold on, but she couldn't compare to Timur in terms of strength... Damn it, how did he practice during this time?

Temur passed by Sanniang with a spear, and then shot another spear in his hand, laughing at the same time: "So can the venerable master still cast spells?"

Sanniang responded with a whip and said, "Yes."

Before Timur could finish his words, laughter broke in his throat.

The cavalry below charged very fast. In just a few words of dialogue, they had already sprinted from the vast line on the distant horizon to several miles away from Huangfu Yongxian's front army. Any closer and they could fire arrows. Once they get into the rhythm they are good at, this battle is basically no longer necessary.

However, in the formation of the barbarian cavalry, countless chubby watermen inexplicably emerged from the ground. Most of them came out and placed themselves directly on the horses' bellies, causing them to flip over in an instant.

How could the cavalry charging rapidly withstand such a chaotic formation? The horses in the rear tripped over the fallen men in front, and overturned them like dominoes. The scene became a mess.

The water man refused to give up and even tried to launch a water arrow attack.

"This place is still on the northern edge of the Gobi Desert. Where did you get so much water to summon water people?" Timur shook his hand angrily, and countless energy shot through like arrows, accurately landing on every water person within a few miles. , blasted them to pieces.

With such a distraction, the spear in his hand was entangled, and the fist force surged from behind. However, Sanniang had already appeared behind her, and the overwhelming Xuanwu fist had already hit Timur's back: "Great Khan" Although he is brave, he does not know that there is water in the deep underground... and there is a lot of it, more than you can imagine."

Timur urgently exploded his Gang Qi to deflect the heavy punch, and the two Sanniangs attacked unreasonably, changing their positions in an instant.

Timur didn't have time to worry about his situation, and his mind still glanced at the battle below.

The scale of the hundreds of thousands of troops was too great. Although Sanniang had brought out a bunch of watermen to disrupt the formation, it was obviously unable to cover the overall situation. There were still a large number of troops and horses continuing to charge. Sanniang's summoning of such a large-scale water man obviously required a certain amount of forward movement, which was about the time of a few sentences of everyone's conversation just now, but now she obviously has no way to repeat it again.

After all, as she said, the water is extremely deep and she cannot easily pull it out.

Just as he felt a little relieved, his expression changed again.

I don't know whether it was caused by the water man's death turning into water, or whether Sanniang's guidance had caused the groundwater to surge upwards. In such an instant, the yellow sand on the ground was suddenly submerged in water, and soon the sand turned into A swamp.

"Hey!" Countless war horses stepped on it and fell into the quagmire instantly. The inertia of the charge caused them to fall over one after another. The Han army set up their formation, and everyone stared dumbfoundedly at the overwhelming cavalry that was pouring in from all directions and causing endless pressure. The drama of everyone falling off their horses made even them feel like they were falling into a dream.

Sanniang had previously used the soaked sand to interfere with Chi Li's sneak attack. Everyone had seen it, and Chi Li and others had also tried it. It was just that the road was a bit rotten and it was not easy to conduct a quick attack that came and went without a trace, but it was not Can't run a horse. But it turned out that even this was intentional misleading, making the enemy think that it was just this and there would be no stronger means, otherwise Chili and his gang would not be able to return.

But unexpectedly, there is someone even more ruthless, who can turn sandy land dozens of miles around into a swamp!

Is that human being?

This is simply the power of gods, okay!

The state religion of the Han Dynasty, the high priest Xuanwu of the Four Elephants Sect... She said she was lazy and just a woman who wanted to sleep.

But in fact, she is the god shared by millions of people on the sea. She has been thinking about succeeding the Sea Emperor for half a year, and she is more like a real god than her new Night Emperor.

"I'm very lazy. I'll study it to the end as soon as it works. I hope the Great Khan doesn't think I'm lying." Sanniang said with a smile: "The Great Khan thinks that he can defeat all kinds of magic. Now that you are strong, you can defeat it." ah?"

Timur: "..."

Break a hammer! Even if you can use the extremely wonderful Gang Qi to evaporate all the water here and return the ground to its original state, the battlefield situation has already been formed, so how can you bring it back?

Huangfu Yongxian didn’t just stand there and play!

"Swish, swish, swish!" The arrows were like locusts, falling like rain from the Han army's formation, and scattered on the chaotic Hu formation in front.

They were already within range.

Listening to the screams coming from below, Timur was angry and anxious: "Abandon your horses and fight on foot! There are many of us, and the pile has flattened them! The vulture is hunting for teeth, you should be the first to attack!"

Poor Yujing faced the enemy in the air and had to personally command the battlefield. He doesn't even need a lot of money, Huangfu Qing also has a younger brother.

Because this is a gathering of coalition forces from countless large tribes, and no one except Timur himself can command them in a unified manner.

Vulture Hunting Tooth braved the arrows and rushed to the military formation.

On the ground that Sanniang had not paid attention to, the sound of horse hooves began again. Chili led his raiding troops to come in from behind to assist the vultures in hunting their teeth.

In the Han army's military formation, countless bright spear points shone with a cold light under the scorching sun, making Chili unable to open his eyes.

In terms of numbers, Chili still has some confidence in this battle.

But the strong instinct made him feel that this battle would be difficult... Everyone's advantage had been broken by Yuan Sanniang, and now even if he were to win, he didn't know how many lives it would cost.

Including himself.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. If we don't care about life and death, we can't win this battle.
