He can only relax when he occasionally fights with his subordinates. Judging from the competition with other people, his swordsmanship has been in the progress stage. In view of Ling Feiye's earnest teachings to him before, he is learning swordsmanship. The mistakes made during the process are greatly reduced, and it is like taking shortcuts.
In terms of body skills, after mastering the five steps and eight steps, Lu Yunyou naturally started to explore the six steps and eight steps. After trying it for several days, he was still in the beginner stage and showed no improvement at all. It seemed that he was going to master the six steps and eight steps. Huang can only rely on chance.
It's strange to say that although he spends most of his time practicing every day, he rarely feels tired. He is even mentally full all the time, as if he is not tired at all. Such a strange situation makes him and the people around him feel tired. People were greatly surprised, but unfortunately no matter how everyone thought about it, no one could answer Lu Yunyou's doubts.
Half a month later, Lu Yunyou's strength improved again. Even if he didn't have to go through five steps, he could still be on par with Zhang Jiutian. Early that morning, Lu Yunyou wanted to train as usual, but Zhang Jiutian brought him a message. The general asked them to rest for a day, and the entire army would set out for the Beast Ridge Pass early tomorrow morning.
What is supposed to come will come. After receiving the news, Lu Yunyou gave up the idea of practicing as usual, and instead packed up things with others to prepare for departure, until Fang Qing and Ni Youbin came over.
"Time flies so fast, I didn't even feel that half a month had passed," Fang Qing said with emotion after seeing Lu Yunyou again after many days: "Brother Lu, I heard from Ni Youbin that your swordsmanship has improved a lot. Can you barely draw a tie with Zhang Jiutian?"
"It's not to the extent that Ni Youbin said. In fact, it was Zhang Jiutian who asked me on purpose." Lu Yunyou knew his swordsmanship very well and had no need to show off in front of the two of them. He shook his head and said, "I believe you two have also made progress."
"Before, I stayed in the forbidden area for half a month, which was like a few months of hard training outside. Later I returned to the military camp and did not neglect my training. If there is no progress at all, then Ni Youbin and I will simply give up training," said of himself Fang Qing didn't want to deny the increase in strength, but he was more concerned about the hardships he endured in the forbidden area.
"Compared to Brother Lu, the hardship you endured is like playing in a forbidden area for half a month," Fang Qing's extremely emotional tone made Ni Youbin feel awkward. Seeing how pretentious Fang Qing was, he mocked him directly.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, I don't have time to talk to you." After giving Ni Youbin a roll of his eyes, Fang Qing turned to look at Lu Yunyou and said, "Brother Lu, have you heard? The situation at the border is tense. This time we are fighting with the Yi Army. I’m not sure I can beat them yet!”
"Last time, the Yi army almost captured the city. Wouldn't it be more difficult to fight the Yi army head-on this time? Besides, the Yi army also uses ferocious beasts to fight. I'm afraid we will be in trouble this time," Jian Fang Qing said about the border. Ni Youbin immediately frowned at the situation there and had no intention of joking with Fang Qing anymore.
"Shh," Fang Qing made a gesture of silence first, then looked around specifically, and then whispered to the two of them: "Don't say that, if the general above hears it, he will say that we are disturbing the morale of the army. Woolen cloth!"
"Then what should you say?" Facts are facts, and Ni Youbin knows very well that the situation at the border will not change just because they put it in a nicer way.
"There is indeed the possibility of war at the border area at any time, and the situation is not good, but I believe that under the leadership of the marshal, we will be able to tide over the difficulties," Fang Qing had no choice but to put it in a nicer way, although he felt the same in his heart. Just comforting myself.
"To say that the commander-in-chief of the Yi Army is really powerful, he actually made a comeback after such a defeat, which makes us even more panic-stricken. If we face him again, I'm afraid we have little chance of winning," he said, not taking Fang Qing's reminder to heart. , Ni Youbin insisted on expressing his views.
"What's the use of being afraid? It's better to trust the marshal completely, that way you may win more!"
…
Seeing the two of them discussing the military situation at the border, Lu Yunyou's mood immediately changed from relaxed to tense. He had just recovered his cultivation and didn't want to die on the battlefield like this. After a burst of worry, he felt the same nervousness before the war. Rushing directly towards him, Lu Yunyou suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.
Obviously, his fear of war has not decreased due to his improvement in cultivation, but has actually increased a lot. Especially when he thought that he seemed to have heard the same words from Zhang Jiutian and Yu Tong, Lu Yunyou became even more panicked.
"Don't worry. If the Yi Army was really that powerful, they would have broken through the Star Army camp long ago. Why wait until now?" Just as Lu Yunyou was thinking about what kind of situation he would face when he went to the border this time, Fang Qing suddenly said something reassuring.
After thinking about what Fang Qing said, Lu Yunyou also felt that there was some truth in it. Their Star Army was a victorious force and could not fall into despair after one failure. Thinking of the wise and powerful images of Lan Xu and those generals, Lu Yunyou suddenly became calmer.
Next, the three of them chatted about some things. After Fang Qing and Ni Youbin said goodbye and left, Lu Yunyou continued to pack his things. In fact, before leaving, he wanted to say goodbye to the Ling family. Unfortunately, the general above had already issued an explicit order that no one could leave the army.
Fortunately, during the conversation with Fang Qing just now, Lu Yunyou already knew that Ling Zimo and others had obtained certain positions in the army, especially that Ling Zimo and another sixth-level martial artist had already served as commanders of thousands. Come, he will live up to Ling Feiye's trust.
Time flies, and one day passes like this. Early the next morning, under the sound of trumpets, more than 30,000 star troops lined up neatly outside the city, waiting for the order to set off.
Since there were not many military supplies stored in Wufeng City, Lu Yunyou and the others traveled lightly. Then under Liu Hongtao's order, more than 30,000 people marched toward the Beastling Pass in a mighty manner.
It's only two or three days' journey from Wufeng City to Beast Ridge Pass. Although they escorted not many supplies, it was still quite hard. Of course, compared to fighting, marching was a more comfortable thing. Now Feng Country has been completely destroyed by the stars. If the country is annexed, as long as you follow the official road, you are not likely to encounter trouble on the road.
During the march, Lu Yunyou communicated with Yu Tong and others for a period of time. He gained a fuller understanding of some of the conditions at the border pass. The Yi Army at the border pass now has less than 160,000 people. They are not as numerous as the Yi Army. Quite simply based on the number of people, they still have a better chance of winning, but according to Yu Tong, with the advantage of being good at using ferocious beast attacks, the Yi Army has weakened the Star Army's strength advantage from this perspective.
After Yu Tong's analysis, Lu Yunyou thought that the reason why Lan Xu had not transferred the 30,000 new troops from Windless City had a lot to do with the strength of both of them. Even if the 30,000 new troops did not go, the number of star troops at the border would not be enough. Still no less than the Yi Army. Now it seems that the final battle between them and the Yi Army is not about the number of people, but the level of tactics. I don’t know what kind of strategy the Yi Army will use to deal with the Star Army. He is always a little worried about the next situation. Worry.
The last time the Yi army nearly annihilated 30,000 star troops without using a single soldier was terrifying. Thinking about how many generals were buried in the belly of the beast last time, Lu Yunyou knew that with his current strength, if he encountered a similar situation, he would be the same. It was inevitable that he would be able to survive, so he only hoped that Lan Xu would be able to deal with Yi Jun.
If Lan Xu could still have the outstanding ability he had when he presided over the last battle in Windless City, perhaps the sacrifice of the Star Army would be smaller. Unfortunately, they did not know and had no way of knowing some of the above specific situations.
In any case, under the narration of Yu Tong and Zhang Jiutian, Lu Yunyou knew more and more things, and gradually he felt that he was involved in military affairs. Naturally, his mind gradually shifted to the military. While talking about the military situation with the two of them, he considered the current situation. , during the march, Lu Yunyou was not idle for a moment.
At the same time, at the border, Lan Xu and his fellow generals had already prepared countermeasures to deal with various attacks by the Yi Army. Before the Yi Army officially attacked, they were still paying attention to the movements of the Yi Army as before.
Recently, the Yi Army has taken some action, constantly guiding the direction of various ferocious beasts to attract the attention of the Star Army. However, the Yi Army mostly gathers the ferocious beasts in one place and does not directly attack the Star Army camp. Bian Yin, even so, after a few days, the number of ferocious beasts gathered around the Star Army camp was still increasing.
The behavior of the Yi Army has attracted enough attention of the Star Army. In terms of preventing attacks by vicious beasts, Lan Xu and the generals have spent a lot of effort. While collecting information, they are discussing how to deal with those vicious beasts. Currently, Lan Xu and the generals The first point of view is to solve the problem of ferocious beasts head-on, so that they are more likely to win the decisive battle with the Yi Army.
Regarding dealing with the ferocious beasts, Lan Xu has obtained some opinions from the invited animal trainers. If they insist on not retreating, they can destroy the Yi Army's plan in advance.
Based on this, the animal trainer put forward several suggestions, which can be roughly divided into two aspects. One is to use human power to force the beasts to disperse; the other is to use physical force to cause all kinds of ferocious beasts to kill each other, such as using those that can stimulate the ferocious beasts' ferocity If used properly to let various ferocious beasts fight each other for a while, the Star Army can eliminate the potential threats from the ferocious beasts in one fell swoop.
