The Guardian Corps obviously did not have such a strong reconnaissance ability as the Pingzhou Army, and did not find that the Pingzhou Army was not far from them. However, the top brass of the cathar are not feeling good at the moment.

Xianbei's information transmission mainly relies on the Flying Eagle to communicate, and the speed is much worse than that of the Communication Stone. On the third day after Shang Ji captured Dragon City, Kebineng and the cathars received the news of the fall of Dragon City almost at the same time.

The Guardian Army immediately began to set off, and after another half a month, it met the Shang Army.

However, the Cathars had received news of the destruction of Dragon City and the plague among the Horde Alliances two days earlier. Faced with this situation, the cathars immediately fell into an embarrassing dilemma.

Half a month ago, the Guardian Army was so excited that they wanted to fly to Dragon City immediately to kill those despicable Han people who dared to invade the Xianbei Holy Land.

Galloping all the way, returning to Dragon City at the fastest speed. As a result, when I came to the gate of Dragon City, I was embarrassed to find that Dragon City was gone, and the coalition army collapsed.

Although the cathars were confident, they did not dare to advance rashly in the face of the Pingzhou Expeditionary Group, which had almost the same strength and strong achievements.

Of course, with the pride of the cathars, no one dared to rashly propose a retreat. The entire 250,000-strong army was frozen on the steppe in this way, neither advancing nor retreating.

In the tent of the apolologist, ten shamanic priests and eight senior generals of the apologetics gathered together to discuss the next countermeasures.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the current situation is already very serious, whether we advance or retreat, how to act must come up with a charter as soon as possible, and if it drags on, I am afraid that something big will happen!"

The shaman fire priest coughed lightly, stood up and said aloud.

"What is there to discuss, hasn't the high priest already given a definite command? According to the order of the high priest, avoid the Pingzhou legion, immediately return to Longcheng, gather the rout army to pacify the herdsmen, and all the sacrificial groups were dispatched, and immediately set out to control and eliminate the plague! ”

The other main priest glanced at the fire sacrifice who had just spoken with dissatisfaction, and said in a cold voice. This person is a wind priest and a loyal fan of the spring sacrifice (dun).

Well, the stagnation of the apologetics is not simply a fear of the Pingzhou army, but also involves a complex power struggle.

As mentioned earlier, the status of the eleven chief priests in shamanism is theoretically the same except for the high priest, who is the undisputed leader.

However, in the actual operation process, there will always be a higher one due to qualifications, ability, personality, strength and other reasons. In fact, under the high priest, the first presiding priest was the fire sacrifice that had just spoken!

The High Priest of Xianbei was not hereditary, but was elected through the twelve main priests. According to the normal situation, after the death of the high priest, the most likely person to take over the position of high priest should be the fire priest, and the qualifications of the spring priest are too shallow, and the third place in the main priesthood is barely enough.

The high priest died in the city, and before he died, he passed the position of high priest to Izumi, which was not in accordance with the rules of shamanism.

The ambitious and unwilling fire sacrifice has always refused to recognize the status of the Izumi sacrifice and tried to replace it.

In addition, no matter how the objective reasons are emphasized, Ryujo was lost at the hands of the Izumi priest and the high priest, and this responsibility cannot be shirked.

As soon as the high priest dies and dies in the city, the Xianbei people will not hold on to him. But the spring sacrifice that came down from the "reluctance" is different, I don't know how many people are clamoring to kill the spring sacrifice to thank Xianbei.

There was also a fire sacrifice behind the scenes, and the authority of the spring sacrifice was declining in the cathars, and few people took his orders seriously.

Behind the expansion of ambition is the imbalance of the balance of strength, the fire sacrifice was originally the supreme commander of the cathar army that went south to support Kebineng, but now the cathar army controlled by the spring sacrifice is less than 30,000, and the temple army is almost completely wiped out. And the fire sacrifice with 250,000 elite cathar legions in his hands naturally gave rise to the ambition to replace them.

Although the fire priest had the intention of competing for the position of high priest, he was not stupid. At present, the great enemy is current, the entire Xianbei is in turmoil, if Xianbei dies, what is the use of the shamanic high priest?

Therefore, the Fire Priest did not dare to put the struggle on the surface, on the one hand, he slandered the reputation of the Izumi Sacrifice behind his back, and on the other hand, he used his position as the commander of the Apologetic Army to purge the generals of the Apologetic Sect who were loyal to the Izumi Sacrifice and weaken their influence.

The Wind Priest, who had just questioned the Fire Sacrifice's statement, was the staunchest and highest-status supporter of the Izumi Sacrifice in the Apologetic Army.

I only heard him say, "What can we do if we don't act according to the orders of the spring priest?" Fighting with the Han army? If you can make up your mind, I am willing to take up the position of pioneer! ”

After speaking, he glanced at the people present with contempt, and his contempt was undisguised!

Although the faces of many high-ranking shamans were red with grievances in their hearts, surprisingly none of them refuted.

Conquering Dragon City overnight, the 100,000 Protectors and 30,000 Templar Legions left behind were almost wiped out, and they fought their way out of the millions of tribal alliances, and they didn't suffer too many casualties. This fierce record frightened a large number of people, and made many Xianbei generals who shouted for revenge shut their mouths.

"Don't dare to fight, and don't want to obey the order of the high priest to go back to Dragon City to collect the rout, is it possible that you still want to go back to Kebineng and continue to work for him? We are shamanic cathars, not ten thousand horsemen under the command of Kebineng! The Wind Priest continued.

Everyone continued to be silent when they heard this, although the shamanism and Kebineng reached a comprehensive cooperation agreement, this did not mean that the two forces of the two forces were really one.

As early as the Donghu period, shamanism has been outside the secular regime. The overlord of the steppe has changed three people, and the steppe Maudun has changed even more, but shamanism has always maintained a revered position, in large part because they do not interfere in secular power.

Cooperate with Kebineng to deal with Budugen, which has caused much less controversy in Shamanism than the fall of Dragon City, not to mention that the situation of Kebineng does not seem to be very advantageous now, and Shamanism is even more reluctant to continue to wade into troubled waters.

The Fire Sacrifice looked at the Wind Sacrifice with some annoyance, and wanted to kill him immediately. It was precisely because of the troublemaking of the Wind Sacrifice that his process of cleaning up the people of the Spring Sacrifice faction was not smooth.

However, in such a moment of panic, it is obviously not a wise choice to kill a priest. The Fire Sacrifice calmed down, took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile, and said, "The Wind Sacrifice is reasonable, the enemy army is very powerful, and we can't fight with it. It is also not in line with our purpose to be able to work hard for Kebi. In this way, the army was running all the way, and the soldiers were very tired, so we repaired in place for five days, and then returned to Shilongcheng to pacify the rout and control the epidemic. What do you think? ”

The people of the Fire Sacrifice family naturally said yes again and again, and even the most provocative Wind Sacrifice was silent. Although he knew in his heart that the Fire Sacrifice was probably playing some crooked idea, the Wind Sacrifice couldn't refute it.

It is my own insistence to go to Longcheng to gather the rout troops to control the epidemic, and it is too unreasonable to refute at this time!

"Since you don't have any opinions, let's set up camp first. We'll rest in place for a few days, and when the army is back in shape, we'll go to Dragon City. ”

The fire priest got up and said happily.

"I'll do as I was told!"

Everyone was ordered to retreat, and after a while, only a few of the fire sacrifice's henchmen remained in the big tent.

Seeing that there were only his own people left, a Xianbei military general immediately asked a little impatiently, "My lord, why are you suddenly going to Dragon City?" When the time comes, the guy who sacrifices to the spring will rely on the position of high priest and point fingers at us, how should we be good? ”

"This Dragon City has to go no matter what, if we don't go to Dragon City, what's the use of us having more than 200,000 elite Protector Army? Although Dragon City was destroyed, he is still a holy city in the hearts of various tribes, and if he wants to truly seize the position of high priest, Dragon City will naturally have to go! ”

After saying that, the Fire Sacrifice sneered and continued: "The Spring Sacrifice is not a matter of worry, we have a full army of more than 200,000 elites, the Spring Sacrifice is weak, what is the fear of an empty high priest who has lost the Holy City?" I specifically asked for five days of repairs in order to further clean up the cathars. And remember, in the last few days, you can't get enough time to win over the neutral people of the Izumi Sacrifice......"

As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the fire priest, and he raised his left hand, made a knife with his hand, and made a downward motion.

Several henchmen glanced at each other, their faces were happy, and they nodded excitedly.

After nightfall, the Fire Sacrifice's subordinates split up and found influential neutral or Izumi Sacrifice faction generals, and coerced and enticed them in an attempt to pull them into their chariots and reduce the influence of the Izumi Sacrifice.

However, what they didn't know was that the entire 200,000 Pingzhou Legion had quietly surrounded them from all sides!

Shang Ji didn't care what the difference between the Apologists and the ordinary Xianbei Army was, in his eyes, they were all the armed forces of the Xianbei people, and they were all objects that needed to be eliminated!

After reconnaissance, it was found that the combat power of this apologetic army was very considerable, with 250,000 troops, basically all of them were special troops, and the average combat power was also around the fifth order.

Seeing such a powerful military force, Shang Ji also had palpitations. If the cathars were faster, arrived before the destruction of Dragon City, and cooperated with the coalition of millions of tribes, it was really possible to completely annihilate the Pingzhou assault group.

However, once the opportunity is missed, it will not come again, without the cooperation of millions of Xianbei coalition troops, these apologists alone are not the opponent of the Pingzhou army!

The Pingzhou Assault Group was originally a carefully selected elite, and after a long-distance attack of 20,000 miles and a half-month life-and-death struggle, nearly one-third of them were killed, but those who survived were all fierce soldiers. At present, the ranks of the soldiers of the Pingzhou Assault Group are basically above the sixth order, and more than half of the surviving black armor Xuan cavalry have advanced to the seventh order.

The comprehensive combat power of the Pingzhou Expeditionary Group far exceeds that of the Guardian Army, not to mention that the Pingzhou Army also has Liu Yi, the king of night battles.

Under Liu Yi's personal leadership, more than 10,000 ghost riders quietly approached the cathar camp, and Payne commanded the only remaining 2,000 death knights and necromancers to follow closely behind.

Similar to the Wraith Rider and the Starlight Bow, the Undead Army also has a power boost at night.

In addition, the remaining Pingzhou army was divided into four equal parts, and the encirclement was gradually narrowed under the leadership of six top generals.

The cathars have become turtles in the urn! ntent
