After a while, Tianxiahui, the main hall.
Captain Yu Yi clasped his fists and said, "Master Chu, the half-month deadline has expired. Can we send out troops?"
Chu He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lieutenant Yu. Since Chu promised to send troops, he will never go back on his word! At present, the food, weapons and armor are all ready. We will send troops to Heishui County immediately to attack the home of the Red Lotus thieves!"
When Yu Yi heard this, he clasped his fists and said goodbye.
After a while, Chu He summoned Li Changsheng, Xiong Kaishan, Guo Wentao and other high-level officials from the Qinglong, White Tiger, and Xuanwu halls, as well as other senior officials above the Blood Coagulation Realm martial arts masters.
Among them, after Xiong Kaishan refined 5 Bear Soul Pills, he broke through the refining period and reached the Qi Refining stage under the guidance of Chu He, and therefore became the master of the White Tiger Hall.
In fact, the main difficulty in breaking through the Qi refining realm is to open up the mysterious orifice, but Xiong Kaishan's soul cultivation level has broken through to the true form realm. He borrowed the breathing and breathing Qi training method taught by Chu He to directly transform the innate Gang Qi, and the breakthrough was like this. easy.
Wei Qing, Zhao Hu, Han Feipeng, Chen Shaohua, Qian Zhixiong, Wang Yaowu, Song Mingyang, Huang Xu, Chen Wei, and Liang Xing all made great progress in their cultivation.
Wei Qing and Zhao Hu, two veteran Blood Coagulation Realm martial artists, have both reached the Gang Refining Stage, and the other Blood Coagulation Realm martial artists in White Tiger Hall have all reached the Marrow Refining Stage.
Chuhe decided to leave two hall masters, Li Changsheng and Xiong Kaishan, to take charge of Pingshan County, and then he led the three major lieutenants Guo Wentao, Wei Qing, Zhao Hu, Han Feipeng and Black Dragon Guard to go on an expedition.
Chu Ming will also go out with the army. Firstly, he will experience the dangers of the battlefield and gain some experience. Secondly, it will be safer to follow him than to stay in Qingshan County.
As for the military strength, there are mainly 3,000 Black Dragon Guards including 300 Black Dragon Riders, and 2,000 ordinary soldiers led by Wei Qing and Zhao Hu are responsible for transporting food and grass.
A total of five thousand soldiers and horses set out to fight!
Three hundred Black Dragon Riders took the lead, followed by the other Black Dragon Guard heavy infantry. All of them had iron armor and quasi-magical weapon-level Black Dragon Swords, and the lowest level of cultivation was bone refining.
Finally, there were two thousand ordinary soldiers, all of whom had achieved a minimum level of strength training, escorting the grain.
However, Chu He and Chu Ming rode in a carriage in the middle, with Xue Longju in charge of pulling the carriage.
In the carriage, Chu He sat cross-legged and practiced, compressing and condensing Tai Chi Qi.
He must strive to complete more than three times of condensation and condense the true essence of Tai Chi before the battle with the Red Lotus Saint.
Condensing true energy is quite difficult for ordinary great martial arts masters who have perfected the Qi Refining Realm, but his soul cultivation has already reached the Yin Shen Realm, and his soul power is extremely pure, comparable to a strong man in the early stage of the Golden Core. In a short period of time, It is not difficult to complete three times of condensation in one time.
Because of this, Chuhe's five thousand troops marched very slowly.
At the same time, Ding Yaoyang, the governor of Qingyang County, personally led 50,000 elite troops from the county seat to the south.
The next morning the sun was shining brightly.
The 50,000 county soldiers led by Ding Yaoyang and the 5,000 troops from Chuhe met in Qingtian County.
After a while, Chu He got out of the carriage and met Ding Yaoyang, who was coming on horseback.
Chu He looked at Ding Yaoyang for a moment. He was a middle-aged man with a rather elegant face and a warm smile on his lips, but his martial arts sense could sense the pure blood and the extremely hot pure innate energy in his body. gas.
This is a top expert at the pinnacle of the Qi Refining Realm, and he is also an old man!
At the same time, Ding Yaoyang also looked at Chu He for a moment and said with a smile: "Master Chu is indeed a heroic young man! At such a young age, he is already a great master, which is truly admirable!"
Chu He smiled and said: "Master Ding is even more secretive, which makes Chu admire him endlessly!"
Immediately, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then led the two armies to continue south to attack Qingtian County.
Heishui County, the base camp of the Red Lotus Army in Qingyang County, is just south of Qingtian County and connected to each other.
To defeat Heishui County, we must attack Qingtian County!
Half an hour later, Qingtian County, the county government.
The Red Lotus Saint sat in the main seat, with a group of Qi Refining Realm generals on her left and right.
Qingshan County soldiers and horses, as well as the county soldiers of County Guard Ding Yaoyang, have all been dispatched. Naturally, they have received the news long ago, so they are waiting here!
Immediately, a guard came in a hurry, clasped his fists and said, "Lord Saint, the enemy troops have arrived five miles away from the county town. It seems that there are at least 50,000 troops!"
A middle-aged general in red armor clasped his fists and said, "My lord, the last general is willing to lead his army out of the city to fight!"
The Red Lotus Saint shook her head and said: "The enemy is coming fiercely, we only need to hold on to the city and wait for work, and we can defeat the enemy!"
The generals were extremely convinced of the Red Lotus Saint, and they all clasped their fists and said, "Yes, Your Lady Saint!"
A moment later, on the city wall at the north gate of the county seat.
The Red Lotus Saint and a group of generals stood behind the female wall, staring at the densely packed army in the distance.
Among them were thousands of troops, all in black armor and holding swords and shields. They were the Black Dragon Guards of Chuhe.
Saintess Red Lotus secretly thought, what an elite division!
The county guard Ding Yaoyang let the 50,000 county soldiers repair for a while and began to order the siege.
Three thousand county soldiers began to attack the city with ladders and chariots.
They had brought their siege equipment before setting off.
However, there were 100,000 Red Lotus troops in Qingtian County. Even if the county soldiers were more elite, they could not break through the city. They were repulsed several times after scaling the city wall.
Usually in this case, the enemy is defeated by powerful generals ascending the city. But at this time, the Red Lotus Saint was sitting at the city gate, and a fierce general at the level of a great martial artist in the Qi Refining Realm could only be killed.
Therefore, Ding Yaoyang came to Chu He's carriage, clasped his fists and said: "There are too many thieves in Qingtian County now. If we want to break the city, we must kill the Red Lotus Saint to break the morale of the army. Please also ask the Master Chu for help!"
Chu He slowly finished his work, opened his eyes, and got out of the carriage with Chu Ming. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lord Ding, the Red Lotus Saint will be left to me!"
Immediately, his figure flashed and appeared in front of the two armies, saying loudly: "Red Lotus Saint, do you dare to come out and fight!"
The Red Lotus Saint smiled sweetly and said: "If you want to have a decisive battle with me, I'll wait until you get to the city gate!"
When Chu He heard this, he flashed his figure and used Qing Gong to rush towards the city gate of Qingtian County.
At this time, dense arrows shot from the top of the city towards the Chu River like raindrops.
A white shield of true energy appeared on the surface of Chu He's body, blocking all the arrows. He rushed towards the city gate like a phantom at high speed.
At this time, he has completed three times of condensation, and Tai Chi Qi has been liquefied into Tai Chi True Qi, which is currently low-grade Qi.
At this time, the Red Lotus Saint took out a red divine bow from the Qiankun Bag, drew the bow and nocked an arrow, and aimed at the Chu River.
With a whoosh, a dark iron arrow burning with red flames struck at him at great speed.
Chu He suddenly drew his sword, condensed the Tai Chi essence into the Han Soul Saber in his hand, and slashed it out at extremely high speed.
The silver sword flashed, and the red arrow was evenly cut in half.
On the city wall, the Red Lotus Saintess raised her lips slightly and praised: "Good sword skills!"
After she finished speaking, she put away her bow and arrows and drew out the long sword at her waist.
The sword is more than three feet long, the body of the sword is red, and it exudes an extremely hot and sharp energy. It is a second-level magic weapon.
At this time, Chu He had already rushed to the moat of the city gate. He tiptoed and rushed to the city gate in a flash.
The Red Lotus Saint suddenly slashed with her sword, and a foot-long red sword energy struck Chu He's neck at high speed.
