Tao Zijiang and Wu Ning walked on the road to Longshan Mountain countless times, and they could accurately touch the place even with their eyes closed.
As a vanguard army, their speed is not very fast. After all, they have to eliminate threats along the way to make the army behind them safer when passing by.
With Tao Zijiang by his side, Wu Ning couldn't get up even if he wanted to.
Tao Zijiang has been in the Demon Slayer Army for who knows how many years. His biggest characteristic is that he is steady, considers things very carefully, and rarely makes mistakes.
On the battlefield, rarely making mistakes is of course an advantage, but similarly, if you play steadily and avoid risks at all times, it will be difficult to win by making unexpected moves. This is also Ling Qiao's purpose of arranging Tao Zijiang and Wu Ning together.
Wu Ning looked ahead. The trees on both sides of the road were covered with rime. It looked really beautiful at first glance.
"Xiao Wu, we have to stop." Tao Zijiang shouted to Wu Ning.
Wu Ning stopped and turned his head to look at Tao Zijiang.
"Captain Tao, what's wrong?"
"The terrain ahead is narrow, with reverse slopes on both sides, and it's very close to Mount Long. If we continue forward, I'm afraid there will be an ambush." Tao Zixiang said seriously, "We're done here, let's clean up first. Bingxue, when the army arrives, you can prepare to charge."
Wu Ning frowned: "It's still a long way from Mount Long."
Tao Zixiang was a bit dumbfounded: "Why are you so close? If we are trapped, do you think the army is coming, will you save us or not? Xiao Wu, be careful first, we are not short of this."
After Wu Ning hesitated briefly, he nodded.
As the vanguard of the army, he wanted to push forward as much as possible, but Tao Zixiang was right. They were already here, and it seemed that they were not far behind.
After all, a war is imminent, so we have to be more cautious.
Suddenly, Wu Ning raised his head and looked at several demonic birds circling above his head.
This is another time to gather information.
In the battle with the demon clan, in most cases, the air supremacy is controlled by the demon clan. The demon-slaying army also tried to use some technologies, such as fighter planes and drones, but they were all destroyed by those demon birds.
Moreover, the signals of those fighter planes and drones will be interfered by the demon clan, which will have little effect. Only the sword cultivators in the demon-slaying army can fight to the death with the demon birds that dominate the sky.
It's just that the number of sword cultivators in the previous demon-slaying army was not very large. Fortunately, Fu Canglan brought the disciples of the Sword Sect to the northern border for support, otherwise their situation might have been even more passive.
"Where are the people from the Sharp Sword Camp? Shoot down those monsters for me!" Wu Ning shouted.
Immediately, more than thirty sword cultivators came out of the vanguard army, and at the same time they stood up with their swords and launched an attack on the demonic birds.
Tao Zixiang didn't think about stopping Wu Ning. Those demon birds were spying on them to the point of unscrupulousness. Even if they didn't kill all the demon birds, they had to be driven away first.
Otherwise, if the demon bird looks down, he will find that they are just a vanguard team, and they may suddenly send troops to kill their vanguard army before the demon-slaying army arrives.
Soon, the Sharp Sword Camp had a harvest. Two demon birds fell from the sky. When Wu Ning led people to rush over, the bodies of the two demon birds had been penetrated by sword energy.
"You have to be a swordsman!" Wu Ning said to the little monkey behind him.
"Sword cultivators are really powerful." The little monkey said with some yearning, "It would be great if I could also become a sword cultivator."
"It's okay. You're still young. Maybe you'll have this opportunity in the future. Haven't you, kid, already awakened? What else is impossible?" Wu Ning said casually.
The little monkey's eyes were a little dim.
"But I'm already extraordinary, how can I become a swordsman?"
Wu Ning waved his hand and asked his men to get rid of the corpses of the demon birds first. He raised his head and looked at the sky. The rest of the demon birds were also forced out of the area by the sword cultivators from the Sharp Sword Camp. airspace.
He then turned to look at the little monkey and asked doubtfully: "Who said that after becoming extraordinary, you can't become a sword cultivator?"
"Ah?" The little monkey's eyes showed confusion.
"Gu Yuan was also extraordinary before, but now, looking at the entire Daxia Kingdom, how many people dare to say that their sword skills are better than his?" Wu Ning said seriously, "I am also extraordinary. If you can become a swordsman, you are also extraordinary. , why can’t you become a sword cultivator?”
Wu Ning's words had a good motivating effect on the little monkey.
There was unconcealable excitement in his eyes: "Captain, you mean, I have the talent to become a sword cultivator?"
"Hey! I never said this. In fact, I don't think you are good at practicing martial arts. It would be nice to think about some things. But after you go back, you can also ask the brothers of the Sword Sect." Wu Ningle Hehe said.
"..." The little monkey was depressed for a while and said with difficulty, "Then you told me so much before... weren't you trying to encourage me?"
Wu Ning's eyes were shining with a Nike smile.
"I don't mean anything else. I just want to chat with you. I have a great friend, that's all."
…
On top of Longshan Mountain.
The spirit demon responsible for guarding Long Mountain looked at the several monsters in his tent with a melancholy expression on his face.
Not long ago, he got the order to retreat.
Although I felt confused, I still had to obey orders.
Even if they are all spirit demons, with Tuo Ya's strength, trying to kill him would be just a joke.
But just when he was about to take the monsters under him back to Nile Peak, another message came from the back, saying that he was to defend Mount Long, and that the monsters on Nile Peak would come to support him. , even Tuoya will come in person.
The spirit demon named Luzi was a little confused for a moment.
Too fast, really too fast...
The two messages were almost ten minutes apart.
Is tooth extension really casual? This has not changed overnight.
But in the end, Luzi decided to obey the last order and defend Longshan!
After all, they have deployed many defense lines in Long Mountain and are very familiar with the terrain here. Now the demon-slaying army is pressing down on the territory, but if they haven't done anything yet and they lead their troops to retreat, what's going on?
Isn’t this giving up Mount Long to others?
Of course, even if Longshan is really lost, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. They can still recapture it anyway. It is simply impossible for the Demon Slayer Army to hold on to this place.
After a brief silence, he immediately entered the role and began to take command.
"Continue to explore the traces of the demon-slaying army. I need to know how many masters they have and what their purpose is in the shortest possible time. In addition, they must not be allowed to climb Mount Long. Mount Mount Long cannot be lost!"
"yes!"
The demons in the camp were all excited.
In order to cover the actions of Fengling and other demons, the demon tribe chose to attack Demon Slaying City. Naturally, the final result ended in failure. In the process, they were beaten very humiliatingly.
Everyone knows that it is simply impossible to capture Demon Slayer City right now. They know that it is impossible to do it, but they still have to watch their familiar partners fall one by one. They are all holding a ball of fire in their hearts.
"Hmph, when the people of the Demon Slayer Army saw that they had defended the Demon Slayer City, they felt that the wind had stopped and the rain had stopped. Can they do it again?"
"If they want to defend Demon Slaying City, we really have nothing to do, but now, they still want to attack Longshan. This is simply courting death!"
"However, Fengling and the others are all dead. Our current strength is indeed a bit weak. It is indeed not an easy task to defend Langshan, especially that Li Siming..."
The last demon clan to speak suddenly stopped while he was talking.
When Li Siming was mentioned, although everyone concealed it very well, even Lou Zi had a hint of fear in his eyes.
Although they wanted to kill Li Siming quickly and cut him into pieces with a thousand cuts, their fear of Li Siming could not be concealed.
This was all done by the opponent's punches and kicks. After all, he was a ruthless man who could even smash demons and gods!
"Huh, so what if Li Siming? The gap between the demon race and the human race is not something that a mortal like him can make up for. Don't forget, behind us is the demon god!"
"Yes! With the blessing of the Demon God, who does Li Siming mean to him?"
The monsters gave each other a mouthful to build up their confidence again.
At this moment, another message came from the scouts sent out.
"Report! No trace of Li Siming has been found in the demon-slaying army!"
Upon hearing the news, all the monsters in the camp were shocked.
Even Luzi couldn't help but look surprised.
There was also a flash of relief in his eyes.
Although he was saying just now that even Li Siming was no big deal, although he said that, he didn't think so in his heart.
Just like now, when they learned that Li Siming was not in the demon-slaying army, Luzi and the other demons felt a sense of relief.
"Lord Louzi. The demon-slaying army is coming with such force this time. They have set up such a huge formation. How could Li Siming not hold down the formation himself? I'm afraid there's something fishy in it!" There were also demons who were calm enough and said cautiously.
Luzi's heart skipped a beat, and her heart that had just dropped suddenly started to rise again.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said: "That guy Li Siming has been very tired during this period. No matter how strong he is, he will still be exhausted. Our previous attacks on the city have probably consumed Li Siming." Almost exhausted.”
"But if that's the case, why didn't the demon-slaying army wait until Li Siming fully recovered before attacking Longshan?" The Yuan Yao asked doubtfully.
Before Luzi could speak, another Yuan Yao solved the other party's doubts.
"Isn't this simple? This time, we lost four spirit demons. The demon-slaying army must have felt that we no longer have the strength to fight, so they thought this was the best way for them to capture Longshan and push out the defense line. Chances are, as long as they occupy Longshan Mountain, they will be able to look at Shu, and then covet Nile Peak.
They may have naively thought that as long as they sent troops, we would immediately retreat to Nile Peak and hand over Mount Long, but what they didn't expect was that we would actually defend Nile Peak! If Li Siming doesn't come forward, when Lord Tuo Ya arrives with reinforcements, it will be absolutely impossible for the demon-slaying army to take down Longshan! "
These words made other monsters in the camp show expressions of realization.
I see!
Put that way, it makes perfect sense.
"I believe Lord Tuoya must have been aware of this problem, so he made the decision to retreat and then immediately decided to defend." Luzi stood up, his expression suddenly becoming excited.
He walked around the camp twice with his hands behind his back, and then burst out laughing.
The other monsters all cast doubtful looks at Luzi.
They were really worried about whether Luzi's mental state was normal.
The demon-slaying army is already approaching the city. Even without Li Siming, it will be a tough battle next.
What on earth is this guy enjoying?
After laughing a few times, Luzi glanced at the faces of these monsters one by one, and then said seriously: "This is our opportunity!"
Seeing that there was no response from the demon, Lou Zi continued: "Everyone might as well think about it. This time, the demon-slaying army thought they could take down Langshan without any bloodshed. Even Li Siming didn't come in person. They definitely didn't expect that our clan would be like this." This time, he actually defended Longshan!
When our support arrives, the Demon-Slaying Army will definitely be defeated. If we can seize the opportunity and cause greater casualties to the Demon-Slaying Army, we can even capture the Demon-Slaying City in one fell swoop! By then, Daxia will be like entering a deserted land for us! "
Listening to Luzi's words, the other monsters also showed excited expressions on their faces.
They knew very well what Luzi meant!
Luzi continued: "We, the demon tribe, have been trapped in this bitter cold land in northern Xinjiang for many years. If we can capture Demon Slayer City and penetrate into the entire Great Xia, it will be a great achievement and future generations will remember our names! "
The rest of the demon clan stood up one after another, raised their arms and shouted.
"Lord Luz is wise!"
"Monster clan! Glory!"
"That rich land was originally given to us by the Demon God, but now it is occupied by those damn human doves. We must take it back!"
Every demon clan's face was filled with excitement. They seemed to have seen through the void how powerful the demon clan would be in the future!
"Let's go, give the order and get ready to fight!"
"yes!"
…
The main army and the vanguard army have reunited.
When he saw Wu Ning, Ling Qiao praised him and Tao Zijiang. These two people were very reliable in their work. The army came all the way and there was no trouble upstairs.
After setting up camp, Ling Qiao called everyone to the camp.
When we set out from Demon Slayer City, it was just dawn, but now, it's already dark.
"Deputy Commander Ling, when will we take action?" Gu Yuan asked.
"Wait until daybreak."
"Wait...wait for daybreak?" Gu Yuan said in surprise, "It will still be a long time until dawn! Moreover, since we are going to attack Langshan, wouldn't it be more convenient to move at night?"
Ling Qiao laughed and shook his head.
"You have to know that at night, our human race's eyesight is not as good as that of the demon race, and we will suffer a big loss. Therefore, unless it is forced, the demon-slaying army will never launch an attack on the demon race at night."
Gu Yuan suddenly understood and nodded.
No matter it was day or night, it had no effect on him, but for the ordinary soldiers of the Demon Slayer Army, the impact was still quite large, and they could not regard everyone as themselves.
Next, Ling Qiao rolled out the sand table in the Langshan area and began to make tactical arrangements for Chu Xigu and others.
