In other words, the main force in this regional clearing operation were all under the control of the former Zhou Tianzong. The disciples from various factions in Baizong Mountain were only responsible for doing miscellaneous tasks. These were all deployed according to Zhou Yang's wishes.
The men and horses belonging to Baizongshan are inherently afraid of fighting and timid, so naturally they cannot act as the main force.
Zhou Yang put them in the rearguard, not for the purpose of protection, but to let them see what Zhou Tianzong was doing and how the army of monsters, which in their eyes was unshakable, was defeated.
His purpose was to enhance the confidence of everyone in Baizong Mountain, because in the subsequent battle, Zhou Tianzong alone would not be able to perform a one-man show. Not only the Baizong Mountain factions in the city would have to attack, but also the more than 100,000 troops outside the city.
This is the first time Dingbeicheng has fought against an army of monsters. Not only Zhou Yang attaches great importance to it, but so does Hai Tianxiao.
But there is no precedent for large-scale organized battles against monsters. Not only Zhou Yang, but also other masters have no experience in this area.
Therefore, Hai Tianxiao specifically explained that after the temporary town establishment is completed, he must immediately familiarize himself with the tactics and formations, run in with the troops, and increase mutual understanding and coordination. He also asked the leaders of the Baizong Mountain factions to carefully explain the topography of Baizong Mountain. , as well as the attack characteristics of various monsters, in order to achieve the purpose of knowing yourself and the enemy.
Of course, it was impossible for Hai Tianxiao to do these things, so they all fell on Zhou Yang.
In the first half of the month, Zhou Yang was so busy traveling between towns that he was out of breath and didn't even have a chance to breathe. He must make adequate preparations in order to win the first battle.
"Damn, we are actually being commanded by a baby. Is there no one in Dingbeicheng?" Not everyone is convinced by Zhou Yang, and Chong Rufeng, the second temporary commander of the town commander, is one of them.
"Oh, we are in trouble! We are so old, we are worse than a young boy, what a fucking loser!" Jiang Chengxiong, the third temporary commander of the commanding army, is a leader who adapts to the wind. He previously agreed with everyone's recommendation. Zhou Yang, at this time, responded to Chong Rufeng.
"The 80,000 elite army has been handed over to this kid. The city lord is really relieved!" Chong Rufeng said angrily.
"In terms of qualifications, family background, and commanding troops to fight, the Chong family master can't compare to that kid. I don't know what those old guys think!" Jiang Chengxiong complimented.
"Hmph, it's fine if we win this battle. If we lose, my Chong family will be the first one not to agree!" Chong Rufeng said fiercely with a very ugly face.
"Yes, when the time comes, you and I will join forces and we will work together to move him down!" Jiang Chengxiong said sideways.
"The general is out there, but he has given me some orders. He wants to command the head of the family, hehe..." A sinister smile appeared on Chong Rufeng's face.
A few days later, Zhou Yang inspected the second town and became angry on the spot.
"What happened? Such a simple military formation is still so unfamiliar. Is your head rusty?"
"Commander Zhou, our Second Town trains day and night, and we don't dare to slack off at all!" Chong Rufeng said with a strange tone, not caring about Zhou Yang's anger at all.
"If your second town goes to the battlefield like this, those monsters will be in luck!" Zhou Yang sneered.
"Commander Zhou..."
Before Chong Rufeng could continue, Zhou Yang interrupted him with a wave of his hand. He turned to Lou Qian beside him and said majestically: "I will tell you, General, that the second temporary town will stop distributing training materials. If the military appearance is still the same after three days, we will be put on the spot." lay off!"
"Yes, Lord Commander!" Lou Qian straightened his body and responded loudly.
"You!" Chong Rufeng didn't expect Zhou Yang to be so decisive and not give him the face of the head of the largest family in Dingbei. His face turned red with anger and he was speechless for a moment.
Time was running out, and Zhou Yang had neither the time nor the patience to convince Chong Rufeng, so he could only deal with the matter with thunderbolt means.
Originally Jiang Chengxiong also wanted to lose face to Zhou Yang, but when he heard that the Second Town was almost dismissed on the spot, he felt agitated in his heart and secretly thought that Zhou Yang was really not easy to mess with, so he put his thoughts aside for the time being.
"Oh, this little guy has quite a temper!" Upon hearing this, Hai Tianxiao just shook his head and did not express his position.
It stands to reason that Zhou Yang only has command power over the eight temporary towns and does not have the power to demobilize them on the spot. This power only belongs to him as the sect leader. But doing extraordinary things at extraordinary times, and a war is imminent, otherwise the commanders would not be able to be restrained.
Hai Tianxiao's attitude also greatly disappointed Chong Rufeng. He deliberately spread the word about this matter in order to make Hai Tianxiao think that Zhou Yang has power. With this view, this boy's power will be greatly reduced, and maybe he himself He will take the opportunity to take over and eventually replace him.
Hai Tianxiao's attitude also made the town leaders realize that Zhou Yang's status cannot be challenged, and the life and death of these 80,000 people are in his hands.
With this positioning in mind, each town also started practicing step by step.
Half a month later, the tacit understanding and coordination between the towns gradually increased, and Zhou Yang was left to train by themselves, and he himself had to work hard to improve his strength.
Zhou Yang returned to his residence first and spent a day and night refining a large number of elixirs, including the second-grade Purple Classic Pill, the third-grade Xuanchen Pill, the Yishou Pill, the fourth-grade Shangqing Pill, the First-line Return to Heaven Pill, etc. wait.
Especially the Shangqing Pill and the First-line Huitian Pill. The former is a high-level detoxification pill, and the latter is a high-level healing pill. Together with the Song family's unique Zi Jing Pill, these will come in handy in the war in the near future.
Song Dahu took the initiative to give the prescription of Zi Jing Dan to Zhou Yang, which also meant that he had completely integrated into Zhou Yang's group and became a loyal friend who trusted Tie Hu and others.
After finding all the materials for the Xuanchen Pill and the First-line Heaven-Returning Pill, he only refined it once, and the quantity was not very large. Xuanchen Pill is an elixir that can only be taken by cultivators of False Pill and above, and its effect is even better than the fourth-grade Tianluo Pill.
After several trials, Zhou Yang was convinced that he could take it with his current level of cultivation, but the dosage should not be too large, otherwise the meridians would be damaged.
Several materials for the Benefiting Beast Pill were found in the treasure house of the Treasure Pavilion. He immediately refined a lot of them and gave them to Red Tiger and White Ape respectively.
As a result, after Chihu only took one, he fell into a deep sleep for half a month. After waking up, his strength increased dramatically. Although he did not break through to the fifth level, he was not far away.
Then the guy took a few more, and after eating two spiritual fruits brought back from the secret cave, it finally fell into a deep sleep again.
Zhou Yang is looking forward to this.
The effect of the Benefiting Beast Pill on the White Ape is also good, but it is much worse than that on the Red Tiger. After all, the level difference between the two is too big.
After doing all this, Zhou Yang entered the land of Yin and Yang again.
Half a month later, 80,000 troops formed an array outside the south city gate.
At the front of the team, lined up in a row, were a total of two hundred black light cannons with shining auras.
