Chapter 184 Preparations before the war
We had no desire to inquire about the secrets. The two of them communicated a few times. Judging from Chen Ou's appearance, they probably got the answer they wanted, and they were all happy.
At this time, Qingcheng also came over, interrupted our greetings and said, "Come with me, if you can avoid large-scale battles, that's best!"
Chen Ou asked: "Are we planning to scare our opponents away with Lord Xia Tianxian?"
Chen Ou is just like Chen Ou who has to flatter him when he gets a cheaper price.
Qingcheng said: "A half immortal can't scare her."
"Half-immortal? Isn't it a real immortal?" Chen Ou and I were a little surprised, and Chen Ou asked.
Qingcheng said: "Maybe the ancient Taoist ancestors were afraid of something wrong, so they deliberately changed the immortal method to turn the immortal essence into a half immortal essence, but in this way, the summer will not be restricted by the earth!"
When Chen Ou heard this, we breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that this is the case. After all, half-immortals are also very strong. If the immortal is powerful, he is also a short-lived ghost!"
Xia Tian did not ask him too much about his own affairs, but asked Qingcheng: "What do you mean by brother and sister is to fight with her?"
Qingcheng said: "It would be best if this is the case. If she decides the winner and the defeat, the Golden Fire Cavalry will at least withdraw. But according to my understanding, she is not very willing to take risks. So we used to be a deterrent, so that she would not dare to take action in advance. We can rectify and adjust the strategy."
There is no one here who can lead troops to fight, and it seems very passive. But Xiaohong outside only gave only three days, and now there is only a little more than a day left. People like her are the same. Moreover, in her eyes, we are just inferior creatures, and she doesn't care about the life or death of the Golden Fire Cavalry, so a war is inevitable.
Xia Tian’s current temperament has its own aura as soon as he goes out, which is a change from the inside out. According to Chen Ou’s metaphor, it is a poor boy who suddenly has money in his pocket and is confident, so his temperament is different.
What's more, after Xia Tian's body was reshaped, his body was always emitting the light of moonlight intentionally or unintentionally. When others stood in front, they didn't need to speak, and their momentum overwhelmed many people.
Although the Golden Fire Cavalry is not flesh and blood, their thinking is the same as ours. When we see Xia Tian, the square formation of tens of thousands of people suddenly became chaotic, and the front rows could not help but take a step back.
A vanguard official swallowed and spitted, and asked, "This is an immortal, there are even an immortal in the world." His voice was very small, but it seemed to be contagious. Everyone around him subconsciously murmured his words, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Chen Ou said proudly: "What are you afraid of? You are not human. Could it be that you are afraid of death? Besides, you are just an immortal, and nothing is great. At most, you just need to go down with one finger and crush a mountain!"
He spoke very disdainfully, but he made full use of threats in his words.
Chen Ou's way of speaking is very relieved in this situation, suppressing the other party's morale and increasing the momentum of our side. As soon as he said this, the disciples watching Kunlun Mountain all burst into laughter easily.
"Waste, a group of waste, isn't it just an immortal, what's so great about it?" Xiaohong's voice came from outside, and she pushed the crowd away in a fury and walked in front. As soon as the person stood still, the aura on his body suddenly changed. For a moment, the heaven and earth changed color, and a picture of the immortal world appeared above his head, and the aura on his body turned into immortals directly.
I have seen three kinds of powers, Xianyuan, Daoqi, and the aura on my second uncle and my father. Now there is a big difference between them face to face, but I can't tell where the difference is. In short, Xianyuan gives people a strong feeling, and Daoqi gives me a little bit of feeling, but it contains magnificent vitality.
As for the aura of my father and second uncle, it is hard for me to describe it. It seems to be between the immortal essence and the Taoist qi, which is very unique.
This made me a little puzzled. Logically speaking, after a monk improves his strength, he will become an immortal, and his vitality will be even more vigorous. Otherwise, the life span of the immortal will not be so strong. Why are the vitality in Xia Tian and Xiaohong outside are very weak?
Could this be the suppression of immortals in the world, or is this a kind of protection of the laws of nature in the world?
There are also immortals that cannot exist for a long time. Qingcheng first practiced Taoism, suppressed the immortals, and at the same time used the vitality in Taoist energy to maintain his life.
But Xiaohong in front of her seemed to have survived by another method.
I stared at Xiaohong's breath outside, trying to find out the difference. This may be the only way for us to face Wuyazi's master and the remaining immortals in the corpse field in the future.
Unfortunately, I stared at me for a long time but couldn't see the clues, but I found that Qingcheng was also watching, and there were even runes in my eyes.
Her cultivation is higher than me and she knows more than me. I can't see it. Qingcheng can definitely see some clues.
Xiaohong outside found Qingcheng observing her, showed the immortal essence on her body, and immediately put it away, shouting at the general of the Golden Fire Cavalry: "What is a group of people, just one immortal? I am also an immortal!"
She just wanted to give the Golden Fire Cavalry a reassurance and understand her intentions, how could we not make trouble? Chen Ou sneered and said, "It's better to have an immortal, but unfortunately we have two immortals. Don't forget that our Miss Bai Qingcheng and your Miss Hong are both from the same world. According to Miss Bai Qingcheng, your Miss Hong is born worse than her!" After Chen Ou finished speaking, he immediately added: "Everything is worse, including appearance!"
I also added: "We also have my father and second uncle, seven seniors from Maoshan, senior Wuxiezi from Kunlun and a group of elders. They have all been tempered by immortals, and you can imagine the strength yourself."
As soon as I said these words, I have a deep understanding of the ancients' attack on the heart and the attack on the city. As soon as I finished speaking, the little red face outside was so slight that it could twist out the water. I pointed at Chen Ou and I and said, "You two little things, tomorrow will be your death."
Chen Ou and I were both a little scared when they were named by an immortal. My heartbeat quickly. However, when I thought that the battle broke out tomorrow, Gu Yun, we would definitely not be able to get on the field. We all hid in the coffin and looked from a distance. We mustered up the courage and said, "If you want to hurt me, ask my wife first!"
I said and pulled Qingcheng down, and she also cooperated to take a step forward. Xiaohong outside sneered twice and said, "Bare!" He turned around and ordered: "Retreat 600 meters and strengthen defense!"
Seeing the Golden Fire Cavalry retreating, I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the time tonight had been spent.
On the way back, the eyes of the disciples from Kunlun Mountain changed when they looked at us. I knew that what they said just now made them see hope, but they just looked at the more than 10,000 people scattered, and everyone was overwhelmed.
If you want to command so many people in a uniform manner, it will not be achieved overnight, and it will take a long time of training.
There is no time now, so the most urgent task is not to train them, but to find a suitable person to command. As long as they play a certain assignment, their strength can be exerted a lot.
Discussing such a thing has nothing to do with Chen Ou and we. We originally planned to go back and rest, but Chen Ou felt unbalanced when she saw Xia Tian sitting in the crowd and speaking. She was originally an equal person, but now it’s different. He felt so nervous that he insisted on pulling Gu Yun and I to stand beside us to make up the number of people.
This made me speechless. If Chen Ou’s personality cannot see sincerity in him, he will definitely be a complete villain who should stay away from.
However, he showed everything. He seemed to care a lot, but actually didn't care at all. He couldn't even hate it even if he wanted to.
I didn't have much time to listen to my father and others' discussions. I sat next to the campfire and thought about what methods to use to make the disciples of Kunlun Mountain form a system in a short period of time.
Unfortunately, I have never had such an experience before. I can't even remember it even if I scratched my head. I can only sigh. If Wu Qi was there, we would not have faced this predicament now.
After discussing until the moon rises, they have not had a result, and I don’t think there will be any result. After all, none of the people present can command the army, otherwise there would be no need to discuss for so long. Now it is just a choice of the best.
Gu Yun was also as bored as me. He touched him quietly, holding a few small stones of different colors in his hand, sat in front of me and drew a nine-cage grid on the ground with a stick, and whispered to ask me to play chess.
When I started chess, I suddenly shuddered, the earth was the chessboard, and the army was the chess pieces!
To put it bluntly, the commander is observation. For example, the war the day before yesterday is full of the authorities, and the bystanders are clear. Moreover, our face-to-face impact is not as complicated as ancient wars, but nothing more than regulating the weak and supporting the strong and rushing the enemy's weaknesses.
The day before yesterday, we fought the Golden Fire Cavalry. The only difference between us and Wu Qi fighting the Golden Fire Cavalry is that Wu Qi's people are well-trained and familiar with their own teams. Wu Qi's orders can also be accurately conveyed through professional war chess to allow the people below to make accurate changes.
If we give each square array a code name so that everyone knows their code name, the information will become accurate and naturally orderly, rather than the enemy will be rushing up and will be completely disorganized.
Before I could even play the chess, I hurriedly stood up, patted my butt and was about to tell my father and the others about this proposal. As a result, I stood up, and Wuxiezi waved at me and asked me to go over.
Before I could speak, my father praised, "Xiaochu, you did a good job the day before yesterday. If you hadn't directed it in time, we might have lost thousands of people."
Wu Xiezi also stood up and said, "I am thankful for those who have survived. "If something goes wrong, there will be monsters, let alone Wu Xiezi, the old man, who is the leader of the sect, actually bent down and bowed to me. It was like the sun hitting the west, which was more shocking than the alternation of sun and moon in Kunlun Xu.
The second uncle came over and held my shoulder and said, "Silly boy, don't be nervous, just treat it as playing games!"
I was even more confused now. I looked at this and that, but no one said it directly. Qingcheng said: "Xiaochu, wars are all about death. On the battlefield, no one can decide who will live or die, nor can they worry about who will live or die. The only thing they can do is to maximize the victory of the war. Do you understand?"
I nodded, not knowing what they were trying to say, so I didn't say much.
Qingcheng continued: "We need a bystander, who is the one you the day before yesterday, and he will be in charge. After thinking about it, only you and Chen Ou are the most suitable, and Gu Yun can also help you!"
When I heard this, I waved my hand and said, "No, no, I definitely can't." I saw the cruelty of the war with my own eyes. I was not afraid at that time because my father and second uncle were trapped, and the distance was far away. But even so, watching people lying in a pool of blood and incomplete limbs, the impact on me was still very big.
What's more, Qingcheng said just now very clearly that tomorrow's war is not retreat, death is not random, nor is it by luck, nor is it that I can save many people with just one order. But for the victory of the war, they are all lifeless pawns in my eyes. If necessary, I even need to order my relatives to die.
I can't do such things, let alone relatives, even people without relatives and reasons. This is completely different from the retreat the day before yesterday.
Seeing that I refused, they didn't force me. Qingcheng pulled me over and sat down and said, "If you don't do it, we need people to do it, but the Golden Fire Cavalry is large, and there will probably be reinforcements tomorrow. At that time, everyone here will say that the soldiers are the only ones who can't go to the battlefield, and we have also seen that you have this ability in front of you."
My father also said, "A real man, be responsible!"
I was so sad that I wanted to say that I was a child! But I didn't say this after all.
Qingcheng is right. Chen Ouguyun, and the three of us are idle people. As soon as the sky dawns, all of them are soldiers. This battle not only concerns whether we can survive, but also whether the five or six thousand women and children who escape can survive.
If I rude, I would be irresponsible for the lives of more than 20,000 people. I gritted my teeth and nodded, and at the same time said what I just thought.
After I finished speaking, everyone present didn't say anything, all lowered their heads. I was a little nervous and reiterated: "This is the only way to make us have rules in a short period of time." When I said this, Wu Xiezi sighed and said: "Forget it, it's decided like this. Winning and losing is a game. Brother Lin, the survival of our Kunlun Mountain tomorrow depends on you. There is not much time, so I will sort out the staff and do a good job of placing the staff. Brother Lin will name them at that time and practice it briefly."
Wu Xiezi's words made me speechless. It turned out that they didn't say anything, but they treated my proposal as a game for children... I can still understand others, after all, they all said old antiques, and Qingcheng still thought so, which made me feel a little sad.
But Wuxiezi left, and he also saw that we had something to say. As soon as he left, my second uncle said, "If you fail tomorrow and see that something is not good, we will withdraw. Xiaochu, let the people from Kunlun Mountain stand and give us a chance."
"This..." I looked at my father, hoping that he would reject the second uncle's decision. It seems that my father also agreed with the second uncle's proposal and said to me: "You can't fall into their hands, and we can't die, otherwise the world will be over. At that time, the upper and lower levels will be divided and suppressed, and the Taoist sect leader will no longer exist."
I remained silent after hearing this.
My second uncle continued, "When you hear me shout, you will leave the battle and move closer to Lin Chu and the others. The senior of Maoshan, Chen Ou, is responsible for the notification. Remember, don't convey the mistakes."
Chen Ou nodded nervously. However, my father continued, "We will not abandon them unless we have to. In addition to head-on battles tomorrow, the important thing is to delay the time and count a little!"
I still nodded, feeling very nervous. My father meant to delay time and see if Wu Qi and the others would call in.
After discussing, Chen Ou pulled Xia Tian to see him up the mountain to find his master and the others. I was worried. When I thought of this method before, I was full of confidence, but after this conversation, I felt unsure.
Seeing that I was under great pressure, Qingcheng was always with me and went to the entrance of the canyon to take a look. Sure enough, the Golden Fire Cavalry and reinforcements came again. Each team had more than a thousand people, and it was still increasing later. The number of people reached 60,000 to 70,000 for a time. By tomorrow, I am afraid that there would be more than 100,000.
"A army of such a large scale is hiding in our world. Why is the Taoist sect not only noticing it, but not even knowing their base?" I was a little surprised.
Qingcheng sighed and said, "The Ying family has a long history, and these soldiers are not recruited and have no source. They naturally cannot be traced when they hide. But don't worry, their number is limited, there are many people here, and there will be fewer people guarding the entrances and exits, and there will be greater opportunities for people outside."
"Yeah!" I responded, and said worriedly: "I hope there will be no trouble tomorrow, and Wu Qi and the others can also make a call in in time!"
Things change every day, our arrangements are not absolute, and the rest still need to adapt to changes.
I didn't follow Xiaohong all the time. After Chen Ou came back, Xia Tian got together and was with them. I relaxed a little. Xia Tian patted the shoulders of the three of us and said, "Don't worry, if I die tomorrow, I will protect you."
Chen Ou rolled his eyes and said, "You kid is making a profit, you can't wait!" Everyone was stunned and then laughed out loud.
It was late at night, and Chen Ouguyun and the others talked about war. In the summer, I was knowledgeable and talented, but now I have retained my memories. I have told me a lot of ancient war stories and temporarily made up for me.
At midnight, the bonfires in the canyon suddenly went out. Soon a disciple from Kunlun Mountain came quietly and said, "Young Master Lin, the master of the sect let us invite you!"
I knew that Wuxiezi had done things well, wiped out the bonfire in front, and quietly followed him. When I arrived at the depths of the canyon and a wide place, I saw the disciples of Kunlun Mountain stacked into ten layers from top to bottom, crowded in the canyon.
Wuxiezi said: "Little Friend Lin, the conditions are limited and the Golden Fire Cavalry cannot be noticed. I can only feel wronged."
Wuxiezi's current attitude is really currying about me. After all, tomorrow's war is all about me being commanded by me. After saying that, before I could name the army, he held my hand tightly, lowered his voice, and said choked: "My friend Lin, I have guessed what you said just now. I hope you have to do that tomorrow if you really have to do that, I hope that after you go out, you will organize people in as soon as possible and rescue the children inside. They are Kunlun's hope and the future of the Taoist sect."
After hearing this, I felt inexplicably sad. No matter how a person is, he will be indifferent to his family.
Chapter completed!
