In this battle to unite Jin and Liao, the Song Dynasty sent a total of 150,000 troops. Tong Guan is the commander-in-chief of the army. He has two armies under him, led by Zhong Shidao and Xin Qingzong respectively. Tong Guan's strategy this time is to advance together and attack the Liao Kingdom with the force of plowing the court and sweeping holes.
Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny. The army of the Song Dynasty rarely trained on weekdays. The generals were arrogant and exhausted, their combat effectiveness was poor, and they had almost no war equipment. Since there had been no war for more than 100 years, local officials had never made war preparations. It is simply a dream to defeat the Liao Kingdom with this army.
Lu Yi did not interfere with Tong Guan's marching strategy. With such a powerless army, it would be useless even if the military god was reborn. What's more, the generals in the Northern Song Dynasty were all useless, and there were not many who had real ability.
The Northern Song Dynasty will definitely lose this battle, but if in the process of losing, they try to earn benefits and increase their own strength, this is what Lu Yi needs to do. After all, compared to the Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom behind was a tough one.
Lu Yi and Tong Guan discussed carefully, and while the overall situation remained unchanged, they would increase their strength as much as possible and gradually place their own men in the army. As long as you can control part of the army and train diligently, you will be a fighting force in the future.
Lu Yi was discussing with Tong Guan when a subtle sound of breaking through the air came. The sound of breaking through the air was so small that ordinary warriors would not notice it at all. However, Lu Yi was already in the innate realm and his senses were extremely keen. He immediately noticed the abnormality and couldn't help but say: :"who?"
"I didn't expect there to be such a master in the army. You must be Lu Yi from the Quanzhen sect. You have innate cultivation at a young age. That old guy Wang Chongyang is really lucky!" When the visitor saw Lu Yi, he realized that he was no longer there. Hiding, he soon appeared in front of Lu Yi.
The person who came was an old man, about fifty, with a colorful body, very strange. Holding a snake-head staff, a small green snake is wrapped around his right arm, spitting out red letters.
"There has been no movement for so many days. I thought the Demon Sect of the Western Regions would not take action, but I didn't expect you guys still couldn't hold it back!" Lu Yi secretly observed this old man in strange clothes. The only one who could take action at this time was the Demonic Sect of the Western Regions. A master.
"Little baby, last time you did something bad for me, let's forget it this time. You have become famous in the martial arts world of the Central Plains during this period. I want to see what you are capable of!" The old man's voice was cold and low, like a ghost. There was a groan, which made people's hair stand on end.
"The person here is actually Ouyang Xun, the great elder of the Demon Sect of the Western Regions, who is known as the Poison King!" As soon as the old man finished speaking, Lu Yi guessed the identity of the man in front of him. He was actually Wang Chongyang's old enemy, the Poison King Ouyang Xun.
"You have some experience, kid. But since you have become Wang Chongyang's disciple, I will definitely not let you go today. It depends on how capable you are!" The old man smiled sinisterly, with murderous intent on his face.
Lu Yi stopped talking and looked at Ouyang Xun attentively. Ouyang Xun pointed his snake-head staff forward, and two black shadows flew out of Ouyang Xun's sleeves and headed straight for Lu Yi. Lu Yi took a closer look and saw that the two black figures were two scorpions covered in pitch black.
Ouyang Xun is known as the Poison King, and his poison skills have reached a state of perfection. When the two black scorpions approached, Lu Yi did not dare to be careless, and his innate true energy came out of his body, hitting the two black scorpions in the middle.
"Hey!" Lu Yi exclaimed in surprise. The two black scorpions actually ignored Lu Yi's innate strength and arrived in front of Lu Yi with almost no hindrance. Without a moment's delay, Lu Yi stepped on the Seven Star Steps and narrowly avoided the black scorpion.
He shot continuously in the air, and then he shot the two black scorpions to death. Lu Yi's expression condensed slightly, this black scorpion was not an ordinary poison, it could actually break the innate true energy. If you are careless, you may be succeeded by these two black scorpions.
These two black scorpions are completely black, and they look like poisonous things at first glance. If you are bitten by a black scorpion, you will probably die from the poison in a matter of seconds. Although the innate master will not die as a result, his combat power will be greatly reduced.
"No wonder Wang Chongyang is so afraid of the Poison King, he is indeed a troublesome person!" Lu Yi looked at Ouyang Xun with fear in his eyes. Ouyang Xun's martial arts cultivation has reached the innate realm, and his poison skills are so superb that people can't guard against him. .
Ouyang Xun and Wang Chongyang had a deadly feud in their early years, and they even wanted to seize the "Nine Yin Manual". Wang Chongyang has not dared to leave the Quanzhen Sect easily these years because he was afraid of this person. Considering Wang Chongyang's martial arts skills, he can still be so careful, which shows how difficult Ouyang Xun is.
Ouyang Wen saw that Black Scorpion had not made any meritorious deeds, so he didn't take it seriously. The snake-headed staff in his hand struck Lu Yi with strong wind. At the same time, countless poisonous substances rushed from all parts of Ouyang Xun's body and pounced on Lu Yi with open teeth and claws.
Lu Yi did not dare to be careless. He unsheathed the sword in his hand and quickly deployed the Dugu Nine Swords. First, he blocked Ouyang Xun's snake-head staff, and then covered his body within three feet with his long sword, killing all the poisonous creatures that came close.
Ouyang Xun's snake-headed staff is powerful and heavy, and every blow carries a rich innate energy. Lu Yi's Dugu Nine Swords were extremely mysterious. They always struck first and gained the upper hand, leaving Ouyang Xun to passively resist.
The more Ouyang Xun fought, the more frightened he became. He blocked the attack with the snake-headed stick in his hand, but was accidentally hit in the cuff by Lu Yi's sword. Lu Yi was unyielding when he gained the upper hand, and the attack of the Dugu Nine Swords in his hand became more and more fierce. Compared with the original Shaolin Temple, Lu Yi's strength has improved a lot.
The first is the Dugu Nine Swords. After the battle with Xie Tianyu, Lu Yi gained a deeper understanding of the Dugu Nine Swords. He gradually broke away from the influence of Dugu Qiufei and gradually embarked on his own swordsmanship. This step was very important for Lu Yi's martial arts training. Said it is extremely important.
What belongs to others always belongs to others. No matter how well you practice, it will only look similar in form but not in spirit. Only by truly integrating your own understanding and transforming each move into a martial art that is most suitable for you can you truly exert its power.
The second is that Lu Yi practiced the Nine Yang Divine Art and gradually integrated it into his own innate true energy. Now Lu Yi can be considered to have achieved some success, and his innate true energy gradually carries the aura of the most powerful and yang. It is precisely for this reason that Lu Yi's innate true energy is the best to restrain Ouyang Xun's sinister internal energy.
"Myriad Poison Magic!" Ouyang Xu was shocked. He didn't expect that Lu Yi was so strong. He accidentally fell into a disadvantage. At this time, he had to try his best and use his best skills to beat the opponent.
The poisonous things around him quickly gathered towards Ouyang Xun's body, and in an instant, Ouyang Xun's body became swollen. There is a fishy smell all over the body, and even the slightest question will make one's head dizzy.
When they met again, Lu Yi found that Ouyang Xun's strength and the quality of his innate Qi had improved significantly. Lu Yi even felt the poisonous aura in Ouyang Xun's innate true energy.
Fortunately, Lu Yi had practiced the Nine-Yang Divine Art, and his innate true energy carried the aura of the most powerful and yang. Although Ouyang Xun's innate true energy was highly poisonous, it could not affect Lu Yi at all.
This means that Lu Yi's innate true energy is extremely strong and yang. If an ordinary innate warrior is affected by Ouyang Xun's innate poisonous true energy, his strength will be greatly reduced. In addition, Ouyang Xun's strength will increase sharply, and he is likely to be defeated instantly. Come down.
"Why is this kid so strong?" Ouyang Xunjiu couldn't attack him. He was shocked when he saw that Lu Yi was not affected by his innate poisonous energy at all. He knew that he might not be able to do anything to Lu Yi this time.
Lu Yi could tell at a glance that Ouyang Xun was ready to retreat. The sword in his hand changed and became more powerful and heavy. During this period of time, Lu Yi practiced the Dugu Nine Swords and gradually understood the artistic conception of a heavy sword without an edge, a skillful but unworkable sword. Incorporate it into your own swordsmanship.
Ouyang Xun did not expect that Lu Yi's swordsmanship would change like this. Although he raised his snake-head staff to resist, he was instantly repelled by the powerful force. Lu Yi, on the other hand, struck one sword after another, with each sword being powerful and heavy, fully displaying the artistic conception of a heavy sword without an edge, a skillful but unworkable sword.
"Pfft!" Ouyang Xun's face turned red, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth. "No!" Ouyang Xun was shocked and angry, but he did not dare to fight Lu Yi again. He raised his hand and let out a stream of yellow smoke, and quickly retreated out of the tent.
Seeing the yellow smoke, Lu Yi quickly waved his Xiantian Qi to disperse the yellow smoke. Looking at Ouyang Xun's retreating figure, Lu Yi did not pursue him. At this time, many sergeants had been alerted and surrounded Tong Guan's tent.
"Trash! Others have broken in, and you didn't even notice. If it weren't for Dao Zhang Lu, I would be dead!" Tong Guan was furious. He reprimanded all the generals and subordinates, and ordered everyone to step up patrols before giving up. .
This was in line with Tong Guan's usual style, and none of the surrounding generals or subordinates noticed anything unusual. After being noisy for most of the night, everyone gradually dispersed.
Ouyang Xun has been seriously injured by Lu Yi this time, and he will naturally not take action again in a short time. Among the Demon Sect of the Western Regions, Ouyang Xun was already one of the top masters. This time Ouyang Xun was defeated by Lu Yi. The Demon Sect of the Western Regions would have to think twice before making a move.
Among the Western Regions Demon Sect, the only one with higher strength than Ouyang Xun is Yang Baitian, the leader of the Western Regions Demon Sect. This demon's strength is earth-shattering, and he is a peerless strongman who makes the martial arts world in the Central Plains tremble. The owner of Shenjian Villa was seriously injured by this person.
However, now that the battle between the martial arts masters of the Central Plains and the Liao Kingdom was imminent, masters like Yang Baitian had too much time to take care of themselves and should not have time to assassinate Tong Guan. Lu Yi had enough time to slowly complete his arrangements among Tong Guan's army.
Three days later, two armies under Tong Guan began to set off. Zhong Shidao's army sent troops to Xiong County, Hebei Province, and Xin Xingzong's army sent troops to Zhuo County, Hebei Province. The two armies advanced head-on and headed towards the Liao Kingdom.
Tong Guan is in charge of the Central Army and is responsible for command and dispatch. As early as half a month ago, Tong Guan had written a letter of divorce to Yelu Qi of Liao State, hoping to defeat the enemy without fighting and make Yelu Qi surrender to the Song Dynasty.
This move would definitely anger the Liao Kingdom. Although Lu Yi knew it, he did not stop it. No matter what, the Song Dynasty would be defeated in this battle, and the more severe the defeat, the faster the Song Dynasty's prestige would collapse.
Only when the military strength of the Song Dynasty is truly seen, people in the world will completely despair of the Song Dynasty. This is already a terminally ill dynasty, and its gradual demise will be the inevitable result.
