Immortal Devil Transformation

Chapter 19: Significance of Life and Death

Early in the morning, Dong Wa Dang Fortress, Wang Nan walked out of the military tent, habitually turning to the rear stable.

After checking the grass feed and the condition of the horse, he turned towards the fortress and then heard a rush of horseshoes.

A reconnaissance cavalry officer, drenched in sweat or dew, drove directly to him and jumped off the horse.

Wang Nan frowned and asked: “Why? ”

“The outpost has already responded with certainty and is the main force of the reckless East Army.” The schoolmaster's face was extremely nervous and his voice trembled slightly: “8,000 lightly riding the road ahead... My lord, what should we do? ”

“8,000 riding lightly? ”

Wang Nan closed his eyes and slowly repeated the sentence.

As a garrison general who merely commands 2,000 soldiers and horses, it is unlikely that the old general in his fifties will know the whole battle scene very well, but all the military information of the military ministry will be passed on through the reconnaissance rides, through their soldiers who guard the fortress. Only if they guard the fortress on the land of Yunqin as a nail, the reckless army will not be able to penetrate it indiscriminately, and some of its intentions and routes will be discovered.

The previous day, Wang Nan had learned from the military information transmitted forward that three forward fortresses had been captured, one army of at least 70,000 people, was fast advancing and should be destined for Dongjingling.

Wang Nan was also not aware of the significance of Dong Jingling for the whole war at this moment, but at least he was well aware that if Dong Jingling failed, the eastern wing of the falling star mausoleum would be completely exposed. This reckless army could plunge freely from the eastern side to the falling star mausoleum.

Dong Jingling wasn't even a consideration for Wang Nan until then.

All he had to consider was securing the fortress and preventing small groups of reckless troops from passing through it, causing some damage to the rear reinforcements and some convoys. There is also a need to determine the route and speed of the advance of this major reckless East Army army. In this way, the Dongjingling side and the entire Yunqin military can better respond.

This reckless East Army has at least five marching routes to choose from, but now their “luck” seems excellent. The rest of the marching route is a small group of reckless armies, and their fortress is on the marching route of this reckless East Army main army.

Wang Nan has been through many battles, but he knows that 2,000 stationed troops face at least 70,000 troops, which is completely different from all the battles he faced before, and the things he needs to consider now are completely different from before.

“We only have more than two hundred horses, since the other side is 8,000 lightly riding the road, even if we all retreat, we won't have time to run to the rear East Jingling, which is likely to escape, at most one or two hundred people.” Wang Nan's eyebrows slowly loosened and his face quickly began to calm down, "you asked Xu to come to see me, and... you asked Zhang to pick at the fastest speed, the young man, the only son in the house, the dead in the house, and some other reasons, let him weigh himself, pick a reason, send a military order to hide those people, let those people go. ”

When the school official learned Wang Nan's final decision, his eyes were slightly moist and his face settled down, "Okay.” He bowed deeply, saluted the old soldier with white hair, and quickly walked into the barracks surrounding the stone wall behind him.

……

Over 200 rides away from the rear of the fortress, rushing eastward.

Wang Nan stood on the stone wall and saw the son of these men leave. His gray hair waved in the morning wind. Without waiting for more than two hundred rides to completely run out of his sight, just to make sure that more than two hundred rides could no longer hear his voice, he turned around and looked at all the more than one thousand and seven hundred Yun Qin soldiers who had gathered quickly under the orders of the school officials, and began to tell the truth in a calm and orderly manner, as in peace.

“Sorry, we're in luck, just along the march route of this great reckless East Army main army, soon… the other 8,000 Pioneer Cavalry will come to us, and the rear should be at least 70,000. ”

All the sergeants were silent and of course they knew why Wang Nan first said sorry.

“My lord, our Yunqin is very good. In the future, Yunqin's history will document what happens here. ”

A schoolmaster suddenly laughed, kneeling on one knee, pulled out his waist knife, dragged a blood wound out of his hand and said seriously: "Now… please arrange our next battle. ”

“Please give the order. ”

All the sergeants raised their heads, kneeling on one knee, looked at Wang Nan and made a low sound.

Wang Nan looked at all these children and nodded slowly and began issuing military orders.

“Destroy all crossbows that cannot be moved and hidden in tunnels and cellars. All the grass, all burned, everything but the soldiers' blades and arrows needed for the battle, all destroyed, not even the iron pot and the camp tent, leave one for these reckless people! ”

“Make a mess, a team of people make some footprints, creating the illusion that we're leaving. ”

“Everybody hide in the tunnels and cellars, and we'll kill them when these cavalry battalions arrive! ”

……

The extremely busy East Waddon fortress quickly regained its quiet, dead silence.

The otherwise extremely tidy and orderly barracks became unmatched, like a huge dump, and all the city's guard ordnance on the not so tall stone wall was warped, smashed, piles of food, grass, burned, and turned into a black residue.

There is no one in the entire fortress, such as after the end.

Soon, the field outside the fortress began to vibrate.

The dust houses in the stone walls and fortresses, as well as the overthrown corner towers, tremble and dust.

Black-pressed, reckless cavalry, like the tide.

A group of hundreds of leading troops quickly entered this fortress in Yunqin. After a quick search in the empty broken fortress, a large number of fleeing horseshoes and footprints were found east behind the fortress, as well as many hurriedly dropped items.

A scornful smile appeared on the face of one of the cavalry's reckless leaders who had received such news, and the reckless cavalry, dressed in brass scaly armor, began to march forward, flooding the fortress thoroughly, either from either side or straight through it.

Suddenly, a loud and uncoordinated scolding and shouting sounded.

The whole fortress suddenly boiled.

A dozen crossbow arrows fired from the cellar penetrated directly through the cellar's hidden planks, through the dirt roof and into the cavalry.

A named Yunqin soldier burst wildly out of a hidden cave, covered in dust, and hung with this reckless cavalry.

Nearly this autumn.

All the remaining more than 1,700 Yun Qin soldiers of the East Wadang Fortress, all died mightily.

However, these Yunqin soldiers also caused the death of more than 2900 more well-equipped reckless cavalry men in the East Waddan Fortress.

……

The main force of the reckless East Army, through the East Wa Dong Fortress, continues to rapidly approach the East View Mausoleum.

Time passed, the situation in Nanling Province, many reckless army and Yunqin army, like a gear tight bite, many can get enough military information, even the insufficient level of Yunqin and Dareckless General, has seen the arrival of Yunqin and Dareckless in this Nanling Province, and by this time these generals can see, it is long overdue.

Before that, Heavenly Moon and Gu Yunjing had smashed all the forces in their hands that could be deployed in time.

In Nanling Province, 150,000 local troops are marching towards the regiment, but the time is running out, which amounts to silting outside this duel.

At this moment, it is very clear that the two regions that played a crucial role in the entire duel, Shaohua Ling and Dongjing Ling, Shaohua Ling's guardian army is 40,000, and the large reckless army approaching Shaohua Ling is also around 40,000. The Dongjingling Guard Army is 50,000, and the large reckless army that broke into Dongjingling is at least 70,000.

In the remaining regions, the reckless army is at a disadvantage in terms of its overall strength, yet in these two key regions the reckless army is able to possess such a force, which can only be an indication that it has gained some upper hand in the fighting more than a decade before the moon.

Under normal circumstances, even the 50,000 troops of Dongjingling against the 70,000 reckless army, such a force is not weak. Shaohualing's 40,000 to 40,000 is a great advantage… However, this is not the usual battle, but the battle of Yun Qin and Dareckless Nation. In this case, in addition to the size and composition of the army, there are also armaments and practitioners who determine the final outcome of the battle.

At a time like this, the battle that determines the fate of both countries and the lives and deaths of countless people behind them will surely bring about the presence of a large number of practitioners.

Gu Yunjing didn't know who would win such a war.

Zhou Shusuke doesn't know who will win either.

Many Yun Qin practitioners who know the current situation also know that only when the war is finally over will they know whether the Yun Qin side wins or the reckless side wins.

The only certainty is that in such a number of wars, any practitioner could die, and the strength of any practitioner would appear correspondingly insignificant.

……

Lin Xi already knows all about it.

Neither Vice Dean Xia, Gu Yunjing, or Zhou Shusuke would ever force him to make any decision. Especially after the major change in the college, Qingyu College simply sent some news and people to him and made no recommendations about his actions. Lin Xie on the Shenmu flying crane, conscious that he is in such a war, is also very small.

But he has joined the world, can no longer be separated from it, let alone calmly watched countless lives and deaths.

So even though he didn't know if he was capable of changing the end result of the war, he went to Dongjingling.

Shenmu Feihe flies between the white clouds of Nanling Province and toward Dongjingling.
