Dry Leaf City in Tianfeng Plain south of Hong Dynasty.
This was originally the largest city in the Tianfeng Plain, and it was also an important transportation location in the plain, extending in all directions to connect the Tianfeng Plain with the north and south. It also stabilizes the fertile lands thousands of miles around. There are more than 100,000 troops stationed all year round, scattered around.
Today's Tianfeng Plain is no longer the treasured granary of the past, let alone a peaceful and peaceful place to live and work in peace and contentment.
With strong walls and clear fields, coupled with the burning fires that burned through the plains, not only were there few people in the entire plain, but even the wild animals were almost extinct.
The forts and military fortresses were like blades and sharp teeth standing on the bare ground, all facing the south, waiting for the coming of a bloody storm.
Li Youjun was in a military fort eighty miles east of Dead Leaf City. He stood behind the parapet of the military fort and patted the wall. There was obvious mana fluctuation feedback in the thickness and solidity, which showed that the high wall he was standing on was It was a fortification embedded with a magic circle, which gave Li Youjun a little more confidence.
After the previous defeat at the front line of Pengshan City, Li Youjun followed a partial army and retreated northward to Tianfeng Plain. The journey went smoothly. After arriving at Tianfeng Plain, he was mobilized and reassigned by the imperial edict of Yun Sect. This also allowed Li Youjun to bid farewell to the group of comrades who had been through life and death, including being seriously injured in a row later, and he had only one breath left. Lao He.
Later, Li Youjun found out that it was the Yun Sect of the Imperial Sect who was adjusting the number of Xuan Vein Realm Qi Practitioners in each fort. At the same time, he also replaced the Qi practitioners who were seriously injured in the previous battle and took them to the back to rest.
The place where Li Youjun is now is called Heba Bingbao. The word "Heba" did not originally exist, but was taken after the fort was built. Because there is a small river five or six feet wide on the side, and this is the eighth fort along the river, so it is named "Heba".
Li Youjun was not the only one in the Xuanmai realm in the Heba Military Fortress, nor was he even the highest in cultivation. Also stationed here are two outer sect brothers from the Imperial Sect Yun Sect. Although Li Youjun is not very familiar with them, he still knows their names. Both of them are in the middle stage of the Mysterious Meridian Realm.
"Junior Brother Li, the walls here are all decorated by the formation masters in the sect. Although time is tight, the strength is still guaranteed. It is definitely much stronger than those military strongholds you had on the front line of Pengshan City before."
"Senior Brother Liu, you said that the barbarians have clearly taken over the front line of Pengshan City, why did they stall again? Logically speaking, they did not consume too many troops in Pengshan City before, right?" Li Youjun asked someone beside him. the short man asked.
"Who knows? You and I are just cultivators, not lieutenant generals, and we only know a little bit about military affairs. In addition, the Yunyan barbarians have always been full of tricks. There must be a conspiracy in them staying on the front line of Pengshan City and not continuing to go north. It's just that We just can’t think clearly.
However, the Tianfeng Plain is the only way to enter the interior of the country. As long as we guard this area, coupled with the strategy of burning the plains and strengthening the walls to clear the wilderness on the plain, I believe we will be able to drag the barbarians here. As long as it can be delayed for another half a year or a year, Yunyan Barbarian will definitely retreat! "
Li Youjun also nodded after hearing this. Senior Brother Liu's words were very popular in Tianfeng Plain, and almost everyone thought so. Because of the special geographical location of the Tianfeng Plain, it is sandwiched between the branches of the Pengshan Mountains that branch off from the main line of the Tianduan Mountains. There is also a naturally dangerous Bodaoling Mountains to the west, and to the east is the neighboring country, forming a huge and broad road. Smooth avenue. This is also the reason why during the previous Yunyan disasters, we could capture Pengshan City and break into the Tianfeng Plains to fight all the way to the capital Sunning.
As long as we hold on to the Tianfeng Plain, we can wait for work and wait for Yunyan's army to charge into the formation.
"Having said that, it is indeed suspicious that Yunyan Barbarian is so stagnant. Did Senior Brother Liu get any speculation from the army?"
"No. The last few times we have been to the camp, we have been assigned defensive tasks, and we have listened to our opinions and focused on defending the weak points of the high wall formation. We have also made arrangements based on the strength of the Yunyan Qi Practitioners we encountered in previous battles. . If you really want to talk about military strategy, you still don’t mention it at all. I guess there is no military strategy, they are just waiting for a hard block.
As for what happened to Yunyan, no one in the army seems to care about it now. "
Li Youjun frowned slightly after hearing this. He always feels that he is in front of his face, and if he has no idea what his opponent is thinking, how should he respond if his opponent comes up with a strange move? Even if that seems unlikely at the moment. But you can’t really just ignore it, right?
"Maybe he is accumulating strength or collecting food." Senior brother surnamed Liu added. Then he said, "When Pengshan City fell, they also burned food and grass, and not many things fell into the hands of the Yunyan Barbarians. They should have known our strategy in Tianfeng Plain, so they did not dare to come in rashly. This is also Reasonable."
Li Youjun didn't even nod, and had to admit that Senior Brother Liu's statement made sense. But he always felt uneasy and uneasy.
Probably sensing Li Youjun's thoughts, Senior Brother Liu smiled and said, "Junior Brother Li, don't worry. Did you know that someone from the inner sect is also here this time?"
"Ah? The inner door moved too?" Li Youjun was really attracted by the news. Because of past experience, the inner sect will only protect Shunting, the capital of the country, and look after the royal family members. There has never been any precedent for foreign countries to face enemies from abroad. That's why Li Youjun was so surprised.
Senior Brother Liu continued: "That's right, not only the inner sect disciples are here, but also three elders from the inner sect are said to have come this time. It's just that it's different from our Heba Soldier Fortress. The people from the inner sect are all guarding the place. The most critical places are stationed. For example, there is an inner sect elder and more than five inner sect disciples in Dead Leaf City!"
"real?!"
"Hush! This matter is confidential. The military will not allow it to be spread indiscriminately. They are worried that the information will be leaked and Yunyan will find out. Just know it well."
Li Youjun really didn't know about this news before, but now he was really excited when he heard it. You must know that according to the rules of the inner sect, one cannot get out until the middle stage of the Mysterious Meridian Realm, and the position of elder of the inner sect can only be held by Qi Practitioners of the Dao Dan Realm. That is a big shot!
With such a big shot in charge, Li Youjun felt much more at ease. At least the Heba Soldier Fort where he is now is close enough to Kuye City, so he will have someone to rely on in the most critical moment.
"Let's go, it's time to change defenses below. We haven't completed our patrol yet, so we have to walk faster later."
"Yes, senior brother."
But just as Brother Li Youjun was preparing to continue patrolling the city, suddenly a black smoke column appeared from far away behind them to the west.
"Huh? Wolf smoke!"
"No! How could the smoke come out from behind?!"
The two of them heard the sound of bugles in the fort and immediately climbed down the high wall to the big tent. At this time, there must be news from the army that they wanted to report.
