Chen Bo'an followed Liang Xingyang's instructions and accepted the surrender of these puppet troops.
The main backbone of these people was originally Xia Jun. After the Lianshan Sect came, they surrendered to the Lianshan Sect, and many of them were newly recruited ordinary people. In the Lianshan Sect, all the people are soldiers. When there is a war, they can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. When there is no war, they can fish, hunt and produce at home.
After they entered the Central Plains, they still maintained this habit and recruited a large number of soldiers. The remaining old, weak, sick and disabled were sacrificed to the monsters. In their free time, they let these recruited soldiers work to raise their Five Flags. The army, the Five Flags Army is the master, they can do nothing, let these puppet soldiers work and support them, and then organize them to be used as cannon fodder when a war starts.
Liang Xingyang held up the Nine Heavens Divine Ember to contain the fire between heaven and earth. Chen Bo'an was originally worried that he would not have enough troops to guard so many prisoners while continuing to divide his troops and go north.
Liang Xingyang told him: "Occupy Huangfengling first, don't be in a hurry to go north immediately, and wait for the order from the east."
He told Chen Bo'an the strategy of three-way encirclement of the capital and asked him to build the city here.
Everything that could be burned in the Guan City was burned by Liang Xingyang with the Nine Heavens Divine Ember, but the time was short and the Guan Wall was still there.
Originally, Guancheng was used by the Lianshan Sect to defend the Xia army. The southern wall was built very high and thick, and there was basically no formal wall in the north. All defensive equipment was also on the south wall. .
This time, a wall will be built on the north side, and the God-killing crossbows, sky-shattering arrows, and various artillery pieces will be set up on the south wall.
As the headquarters of the Golden Lantern Sect, Quzhou has sufficient manpower and material resources. Upon receiving orders, materials are continuously shipped here.
These surrendered puppet troops had their weapons and armor confiscated, wore only thin clothes, and served as laborers. They were promised that when the war was over, they would be returned to their places of origin, distributed with land, and become good citizens again.
Xuan'e and Gelsemium were guarding here. Gelsemium came to ask for leave from Liang Xingyang: "Master, you gave me the elixir recipe last time, and I practiced it according to it. Now that the martial fire has passed, I am still warming it with a slow fire in the furnace. There is a war here. It's over, I have to go back and continue refining the elixir."
Liang Xingyang looked to the north and nodded: "Okay, I don't think they will come back for the time being. Even if they do come back, closing so many god-killing crossbows and artillery is not for nothing. Yuxiao Mountain is not far from here. You go back to refine the elixir, and find a way to notify me as soon as you get the results. If something happens here, you can come over quickly to support me."
Gelsemium took the order, used the sword to turn around to the Zixiao Peak of Yuxiao Mountain, and continued to refine the Lieyang Pill.
It took Ancestor Youzhai a period of sixty years to refine the Lieyang Pill, a full sixty years, mainly because he could not find fresh Lieyang Fruit. He and Master Li Luo got a total of one dried Lieyang Fruit.
The Fierce Sun Fruit only matures once in a thousand years. What they got was a fruit that matured in the last thousand years. It has existed for more than nine hundred years. Although it was sealed with magic and sealed in a jade box, its spiritual energy was also seriously lost. Master Li Luo helped him regain it. I thought of many ways and added many rare elixirs to assist.
What Liang Xingyang gave to Gelsemium was the freshest fruit. It had a strong aura just after it was picked from the tree. Gelsemium was also an expert in alchemy. He removed all the auxiliary medicines used by Master Li Luo and added a dozen more after careful consideration. The elixir is not only fast to make, but also plentiful. It only takes sixty days to make!
Liang Xingyang did not stay long in Huangfengling, and immediately went west to find Yan Wodan without stopping.
Yan Wodan was leading the White Bone Army and the Lianshan Sect to fight in the Duiyuan Basin. Both sides had a blood feud. They were both red-eyed and fighting for their lives. Their swords were bleeding and they were biting their flesh. They were killing corpses everywhere. , blood flowed all over the ground!
When they were in a dilemma, Liang Xingyang arrived. The tiger demon, the main god of the White Flag Army, saw a person flying from the horizon with his divine eyes from a distance. It was the legendary Liang Xingyang. He immediately stopped fighting and with a tiger roar, Yan Yan was forced to leave. Wodan's magical body summoned his little demons to turn around and leave.
The Lianshan Army below got the tiger demon's signal and immediately turned around and began to retreat. The White Flag Army didn't care about the life and death of the puppet cannon fodder. They left as soon as they said they wanted. The remaining puppet troops didn't know what was going on and were killed. The rat scurried away with its head in hand, running for its life in all directions. The Bone Army chased and killed them and won a great victory.
"Why did the tiger demon suddenly escape? It turns out you are here." Yan Wodan was very happy to see Liang Xingyang, "I have heard about the situation over there. Your tower is really powerful."
"The reason why that tower is so powerful is your great contribution!" Liang Xingyang looked at the Baiyang Sword in her hand, "Your sword skills are getting better and better. You really have the talent to be a sword fairy."
"That's what you taught me well." Yan Wodan picked up the Baiyang Sword, shook it slightly, and swung out a zhang of sword light from the front end, cutting in half a towering tree a hundred steps away, " The sword is also a good sword, but I already don’t want to use the spells taught by the White Bones.”
Liang Xingyang followed Yan Wodan and led his troops northward to pursue and annihilate the remnants of the enemy until they reached Yin Yang Pass. Yan Wo Dan originally wanted to divide his troops to attack Ziwu Road and attack Yin Yang Pass from front to back. When he arrived here, he saw that the defenders of Lianshan Sect had already withdrawn. Gone, leaving an empty gate.
The two led their troops through the Yin-Yang Pass to the Qianyuan Land in the north, but they did not encounter the defenders of the Lianshan Sect, not even any spiritual resistance.
"It seems that the Lianshan Cult has discovered our plan and has reduced its troops to fight us to the death in the capital."
Liang Xingyang saw that even the generals guarding the Boyer Pass had withdrawn, and a large area of land had been given to the White Bone Army in vain.
The Qianyuan area is the birthplace of the White Bone Sect, and Tianshui City is the holy city of the White Bone Sect. After many years, the White Bone Sect has returned to Qianyuan and Tianshui City.
The reason why the White Bone Sect was able to start here in those days was mainly caused by natural and man-made disasters. At that time, there was a severe drought in the northwest. There were consecutive years of drought. The people could only eat dirt, and even the bark of the trees was eaten. The mountains and fields were covered with not a single weed or a bug. Only loess remains!
Furthermore, the imperial court is stupid and corrupt. None of the disaster relief money and food from above has been seen. The local tyrants and evil officials below have imposed exorbitant taxes and forced the people to a dead end. It is just like the propaganda of the White Bone Cult. The people have nothing left, their flesh and blood are withered, and everyone is The black skin covers the skeleton, leaving only a white skeleton and this body of strength!
In recent years, droughts and locust plagues have eased, and the trees have grown back, but people are gone. From droughts, locust plagues, military disasters, etc., those who can escape have escaped, and those who cannot escape have died. It is even worse than in Jiangbei. It's miserable, it can't even reach ten rooms and nine empty rooms. There are abandoned houses and simple altars built by Lianshan Cult everywhere!
Yan Wodan went to Tianshui City to pay homage to his father, and Liang Xingyang also followed. The two discussed how to continue the attack in the future in the wooden house next to the Tianshui Holy Spring.
Yan Wodan said: "I have a brilliant idea. The defeat of the Lianshan bandits is now a foregone conclusion. It is enough for your two armies to surround the capital. But I guess they are so capable of escaping that they will definitely abandon the city and flee for their lives. I think How to escape back to the Genyuan Mountains. I led the troops to bypass Kanyuan Mountain, march from the north to the east, and march directly over the mountains without passing Quanyuan Pass, and entered the hinterland of Genyuan, and captured their old nest. Smash their altars and burn their demon bones. Only in this way can we completely cut off their evil roots and demon seeds!"
"No." Liang Xingyang shook his head, "The Lianshan Cult has set up a demon formation in the capital. Four people with about the same magic power as us must attack from the east, west, north, south, and south at the same time to break the formation. I came to you this time mainly for this reason!"
