Chapter 843: The Counteroffensive Begins
As far as Chu Xian knows, the number of atonement monks is definitely more than that of the Dao Immortals of the Holy Dynasty, even if you add the scattered immortal masters in many sects, in terms of number, I am afraid that it is far less than the atonement monks of the church.
Chu Xian has a very clear understanding of this.
There is also a higher-level Holy Blood Knight, in Chu Xian's opinion, this is the 'key'.
There are too few Flying Feather Immortal level masters on the Holy Dynasty's side, and the number is much smaller than that of ordinary Dao Immortals, but the Holy Blood Knights of the Holy Domain may be more than hundreds because they can be 'mass-produced'.
Even if it was just fifty or sixty Holy Blood Knights, they could overwhelm the Flying Feather Immortals of the Holy Dynasty.
When the time comes, how will the Pilgrimage respond?
The Flying Feather Immortals at the level of the Shoufu Pavilion add up to only a dozen, how can they fight against others?
As for the Dogen level, there are only himself and Yang Tae-sheng at present.
This one can fight against the Sanctuary, there are three major bishops in the Sanctuary, and it is impossible to send all of them, and the only one who can be confirmed at the moment is the bishop named Farolo.
Even if the other party is strong, he and Yang Taisheng can overpower the other party, of course, if there is a chance to kill him, it is the best, at least, it can restrain the combat power of this bishop.
Of course, if the Holy Domain Church is out of the nest, it will be a different matter, if it really provokes the three major bishops, Chu Xian and Yang Taisheng can at least have a tie even if they can't win.
It can be said that Chu Xian has already considered all the possibilities of using force with the church.
The Xia Dynasty, the land of the royal city.
Here, Qin Yuanmou led the immortal guards to the scene, in addition to them and the 30,000 Chijin troops here, as well as the original 20,000 soldiers of the Xia Dynasty, adding up, a total of 50,000, in addition, the Holy Dynasty sent another 10,000 red feather cavalry, it can be said that this combat power is enough to take the initiative to attack.
The top combat power on the side of the Holy Dynasty, Qin Yuanmou is one, in addition, Yang Taisheng and the military department Shangshu and others have also arrived, even if the other bishop makes a move, they can deal with it.
The Holy Pilgrimage, on its part, had already driven the emissary of the Church back, and at the same time put forward conditions, which, of course, as they had anticipated, could not be accepted by the Church.
Therefore, this battle is inevitable.
Unlike last time, last time it was defending, and this time it was attacking.
The most excited thing is naturally the Xia royal family, they have suffered too much humiliation during this time, the land has been invaded, and they have been abused and betrayed by their own people.
In this, a prince of the Xia clan has long been gearing up, ready to borrow the power of the Holy Dynasty to counterattack back, this prince named Xia Zhen has already planned, once he attacks back, he will deal with those who betray their Xia clan with iron and blood.
At this moment, in Xia Zhen's tent, he and several subordinate generals ordered: "You are all clever for a while, try not to lose your own troops, and wait until you attack the city, arrest all the people who took the lead in betrayal, and publicly execute them, I want everyone to see what will happen to the traitors who dare to betray our Xia clan." ”
While speaking, Xia Zhen gritted his teeth.
A general next to him seemed to hesitate, thought about it and admonished: "Lord Prince, those people have been fooled by those people in the church, in fact, the fault is not them, even if it is a counterattack, they should only regard the people of the church as enemies, and those people should still be persuaded ......"
"Nonsense!" Xia Zhen was furious, glared at his eyes and said: "This group of ignorant untouchables were deceived by the people of the church in a few words, and dared to rebel against the Xia clan's royal power, this is a capital crime! Besides, this king does not slaughter the city, but only kills hundreds of people to kill chickens and monkeys, and tells others about the fate of betraying our Xia clan, is this also wrong?"
"But......" The general still wanted to speak, Xia Zhen scolded directly: "There is nothing, you are subordinates, you only need to obey the orders of this king, in short, this matter, this king must come out of this evil breath, no one wants to stop it." ”
The general sighed helplessly, but he couldn't speak anymore.
At this time, there were soldiers outside to report, saying that the General Jinjia of the Holy Dynasty had ordered a full-scale counterattack, so that the army of the Xia royal family would immediately set off to cooperate with the attack.
"Got it!" Xia Zhen said coldly, and then he said to his subordinates in the camp: "This matter, let's not rush to the front, let the Holy Dynasty people take the lead, they have a lot of troops, and it is nothing to die tens of thousands of people, but our foundation is thin, if we die again, we will break our muscles and bones, so if we leave later, give me a little smarter." ”
Several generals in the camp tent of "this ......" looked at each other, this kind of thing, they should be rushing to the front, how can they hide behind?
After all, the Pilgrimage army was here to assist them in their counteroffensive to regain territory.
The generals present were all warriors and soldiers, and they were already very dissatisfied with Xia Zhen at the moment, but because of their identity, they couldn't say anything.
And they couldn't bypass Xia Zhen to mobilize the army, they could only sigh one by one, but there was no way at all.
Outside, the counteroffensive has begun.
Qin Yuanmou stood in the air, surrounded by hundreds of standard-bearers, responsible for giving orders for the general, at this time, a standard-bearer reported: "Back to the general, the Xia royal family's military horses did not respond to the order to attack at the first time, and it seems that they deliberately fell behind." ”
When Qin Yuanmou heard this, his brows furrowed.
"Who is the commander of the Xia army along the way?" Qin Yuanmou asked, and the soldier immediately said, "It's a prince named Xia Zhen of the Xia royal family." ”
"Hmph, I've heard of this person, greedy for life and afraid of death, mercenary, I didn't expect him to dare to slack off the army at such a time, I really thought that General Ben would not dare to march the military method!" Qin Yuanmou looked murderous.
At this time, a voice came from above his head: "Yuanmou, this matter is not suitable to be punished at the moment, write down this first, and then settle accounts with that person later." ”
It was Yang Tae-sheng who spoke.
As the Dao Yuan Zhenren on the side of the Holy Dynasty, Yang Taisheng is used to stabilize the morale of the army this time, in addition, it is also to guard against the bishop of the church.
Once the other party takes the initiative to be a bishop-level master, Yang Taisheng will have to fight against it, which is what he has to do.
As for Chu Xian, as the first seat, of course, he can't be easily dispatched, it can be said that as long as Chu Xian is in Jingzhou, he can stabilize the overall situation of the entire Holy Dynasty.
After all, Chu Xian, as the head of the Shoufu Pavilion, is to maintain the operation of the entire Holy Dynasty, not to mention, against the church, an all-out war, the Xia Dynasty's side is just one of the many battlefields.
With Yang Taisheng sitting over there, Chu Xian was very relieved.
Now that the Holy Dynasty has started a full-scale war, it is necessary to completely destroy the foundation and strength of the Church on the side of Shenzhou in this round.
Qin Yuanmou and Yang Taisheng were in charge of the frontal counterattack, and Run Boran and some elite Immortal Guards went to rob the Church's supply lines and destroy their fleet.
Of course, because it is a multi-front battle, all the masters in Jingzhou are out, and there are few immortal guards left, only a few remain in Jingzhou, and at this time, it is also the weakest time in Jingzhou.
Because of this, Chu Xian, the real person of Daoyuan, must sit in Jingzhou.
However, although Chu Xian is in Jingzhou, he is using the magic power of the great immortal, condensing the magic eye, and placing it in the eyes of the flying birds, which is the magic power of the great sage of the demon clan.
Chu Xian used it, and it was all at his fingertips.
I saw several Dapeng golden-winged eagles flying out of Jingzhou, each running east and west, one flew in the direction of the Xia Dynasty, one went straight to the east, towards the East China Sea, and the other flew towards a small country similar to the Xia Dynasty in the southwest of the Holy Dynasty.
East China Sea Route.
In the sea area hundreds of miles away from the coast of Shenzhou, a fleet of more than 20 large ships is marching mightily.
The ship was hung with a flag fluttering in the sea breeze, representing the Church of the Sanctuary.
There are more than twenty large ships, all of which are ironclad ships, which represent the most advanced shipbuilding skills on the side of the Sacred Continent, at least in the matter of shipbuilding, the Sacred Domain Church is much ahead of the Divine Sacred Dynasty. And on these more than 20 ironclad ships, on each ship, there are more than 500 steel-armored warriors, in addition, there are hundreds of sailors, a few sword-wielding and atonement monks.
And on every ship, there is a holy blood knight in charge.
Obviously, this is the reinforcements from the Sanctuary Continent, they have all set off at least a few months ago, such a large-scale transportation of troops, indicating that the church has long planned to use force.
It's just that the church didn't expect that the delaying tactics they wanted were useless on Chu Xian's side, and even Chu Xian did the opposite and began to take the initiative to attack and fight on multiple fronts.
The church thought that the Xia Dynasty would attract the attention of the Holy Dynasty, so that they could do something else, which was also the strategy of the soldiers.
In addition to these more than 20 ironclad ships, there is an even larger fleet behind, that is more than 50 large ships, and the total number of people transported is more than 30,000.
In this way, together with the Church's secret development of religious warriors in the local area, the number of troops it can use has exceeded 100,000.
Obviously, these are all things that the church has planned a long time ago, from a long time ago, how to slowly infiltrate and invade the Shenzhou Continent, they have long had a plan, and at present, all this is just the church carrying out their plan.
Run Boran and the thirty-six elite of the Immortal Guards were hiding in the sea at the moment, looking at this huge fleet from the bottom up.
"General, how to do it, please give me instructions!" The one who spoke was the deputy capital commander of the Immortal Guard, a master who had cultivated to the level of a Flying Feather Immortal.
Run Boran was dressed in jade armor, with a pensive face at the moment, stroked his beard lightly, and said: "In the current situation, the enemy is outnumbered, and it is not advisable to attack and kill head-on, it can only be taken by surprise, and not far apart, there is a larger fleet, the number of their holy blood knights adds up, reaching hundreds, all of them attack, we are invincible!"
This is the truth, even if each of these thirty-six immortal guards can fight against a holy blood knight, but the number is far inferior, and it is impossible for Run Boran to kill the remaining enemies, not to mention, the other party also has the atonement monk.
