Rewind a little time.

On the periphery of Yinshan, there is a simple camp twenty miles away from the entrance battlefield, which is one of the seven "fortresses" set by Zhuge in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

But in just one night, there was no way to build a fortress that could resist the ghost soldiers, so it was just a camp similar to a school field.

The camp was built on a gravel hill and surrounded by a lookout in a square open space that could accommodate thousands of people. Only a command tent was erected on the north side, and no other buildings were built.

Since it was just a show, it meant that the coalition forces occupied this place, so even the walled gate was omitted.

Behind the command camp is a high mountain, on this gravel mountain the strange peaks protrude, it looks extremely precipitous; out of the front, is an overgrown gravel slope, not very steep, ordinary people can climb up, the past twenty miles, is the entrance to the battlefield; on the right is a barren mountain made of sand, not very high, when the wind rises, it will roll up black and oppressive dust, if you don't use the aura to protect the body, you will eat a mouthful of dust, very uncomfortable.

The sky was dark, and the strong winds hit from time to time, which made the entire camp filled with black sand. However, the main general Gu Qingyun forcibly ordered not to waste the aura, no matter how dirty it was, he had to endure it, and the 1,700 defenders in the school field all had a sense of irritability from the heart.

This army is composed of 1,000 heavily armored demon soldiers, 300 sword cultivators, and 400 scattered cultivators. Among them, the heavy-armored demon soldiers were specially sent by Su Fu to distribute to Gu Qingyun, and the rest of the strongholds only had light armor.

Su Fu originally wanted to transfer a regiment with a full range of troops, but was rejected by Gu Qingyun on the grounds that it was useless.

When he thought about it, the role of the stronghold was only to warn and transmit news when attacked, and it was almost impossible to really stop the pace of the ghost soldiers.

Of course, Jian Xiu is a disciple of Jian Zhai, and one hundred of them are from the Empirical Academy, and they are brave and good at fighting, and they are the strongest group of this defender. Most of the rest are inner disciples, and a few of them are lecturers of the lecture academy, and their strength is also at the peak of the void and is about to break through the master of the Lingtai.

The four hundred scattered cultivators all voluntarily joined the alliance, and according to the level of cultivation, they could obtain different amounts of spiritual jade every day, and all the elixir spiritual jade consumed during the war was reimbursed by the alliance. After the war, with military merits, you can exchange for all kinds of treasures.

Driven for profit is more reliable than any slogan or belief, at least for the low-level monks.

Finally, Gu Qingyun, the chief general who is fully responsible for the defense of this place, and the deputy generals Jia Shidao, Xie Zhanxi, and Xiao Qingmu. Xiao Qingmu had already been granted the status of a true disciple before the war.

Although they are all temporary positions, they represent the authority of the alliance and no one dares to take it lightly.

"I said, it's too boring to stay here. In the camp tent, Xiao Qingmu muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why don't we go to the front line, isn't there still someone guarding behind?" Anyway, now that the main force of the enemy army is on the front line, except for the entrance, there is an early warning circle set up by the alliance leader, and if the enemy army wants to bypass it, it will definitely be detected by the alliance leader, what's the point of us staying here?"

Jia Shidao closed his eyes and recuperated, not bothering to pay attention to him.

He and Xiao Qingmu are both people who belong to the Discipline Academy, and they were temporarily transferred to assist in the defense, and the geographical location here is relatively sensitive.

Xie Zhanxi looked at him angrily: "Gu Shouzuo didn't speak, you have become the main general here? Do you think fighting a war is a fun thing? On the real battlefield, your little cultivation is only fatal!"

Xiao Qingmu snorted: "Senior sister can't help but underestimate me! How many people on the front line are not as good as me? Why can't they do it? I have been cultivating for 30 years and have entered the Xuanzhen, is it not as good as them with my qualifications?"

He said this with contempt.

Xie Zhanxi burst into flames for a while, and sneered: "Do you think that after eighty years of cultivation, I can't compare to you?"

"Little brother doesn't dare. The same is the true biography, Xiao Qingmu no longer has to worry about her, and also sneered, "It's just that fifty years later, my achievements will not disappoint Senior Brother." "Although he has some relationship with Xiao Wuji, he has always been called a senior brother.

"Okay, good!" Xie Zhanxi laughed angrily, "As soon as you entered the True Legend, you set your goal on Senior Brother, which is really impressive! However, if you know that Senior Brother Su's cultivation years are about the same as yours, do you dare to say such a thing?"

"How is that possible?" Xiao Qingmu's face changed slightly.

In fact, although Su Fu is a person from Jianzhai, his time in Jianzhai is too short, and only a few people know about his situation, and those few people will not chew their tongues to the outside world.

Over time, all kinds of rumors will mislead Jian Zhai's backwards, some say that he has practiced for a hundred years, and others say that he has practiced for decades.

Of course, 100 years is an unreliable speculation, and as for decades, it is also a very vague number.

"I'll surpass him and show you!" Xiao Qingmu's face quickly regained his composure after his face changed. After all, among his peers, there is no one with higher qualifications than him, and he is very confident in this.

Moreover, although he set his goal on Xiao Wuji, in fact, the person who longed to surpass was Su Fu.

When Xie Zhanxi heard this, his anger subsided, and he looked at Xiao Qingmu's eyes a little strangely, and at the same time scolded himself in his heart: This is a little ghost who loves to daydream, what do you care about him, the more you live, the more you go back.

Gu Qingyun said: "Don't say it so early, wait until you see the gap between you and him, and then think about it." ”

Xiao Qingmu didn't dare to speak, this Gu Qingyun was a person that even Xiao Wuji respected very much, he was not stupid, he could become a true legend There must be a reason for Xiao Wuji in it, how dare he make a mistake in front of him.

Xie Zhanxi sneered secretly, and thought happily: Senior brother is a rare genius in ten thousand years, and when you see the gap with him, you will despair. Boasting in front of us today, I'll see how you step down in the future!

Immediately, I was a little ashamed, they were all the same disciples, and this idea seemed a little bad.

Thinking of this, she said kindly: "Senior brother's qualifications are good, but cultivation still depends on a persistent energy, if you want to surpass Senior Brother Su, the effort you have to put in must be ten times higher than now." ”

Who knew that Xiao Qingmu would be wrong, and said coldly: "Senior sister has a heart." ”

Xie Zhanxi frowned, and didn't bother to explain.

Boom –

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from a distance, and the ground trembled slightly.

The four of them immediately went out of the tent, only to see a vision in the gray sky, purple and black light was shining, so far away, the straight-line distance was more than twenty-five miles, but it still made people feel a tingling scalp.

The unusual phenomenon caused a slight commotion in the school grounds, and those who secretly complained about the mess suddenly turned to rejoice.

Xie Zhanxi was surprised: "Looking at this might, this person should be one of the three commanders of the enemy army." It's only the second battle, and it's too much of a fuss to send a commander, right?"

Gu Qingyun also frowned: "Behind the unusual, there must be a reason, be careful." ”

He thought about it, but still felt uneasy, and said, "Jia Shidao, you go and patrol the surroundings to see if there are any unusual movements." ”

"Yes!" Jia Shidao was about to sacrifice the flying sword without saying a word, but suddenly a voice came from the hill on the right side of the school field.

"Oh no, no, the ghost soldiers are coming here!"

Everyone was shocked, and when they turned their heads to look over, they saw a scattered cultivator driving a magic weapon flying crookedly, and it can be seen that under the panic, even the imperial weapon has become a raw hand.

Gu Qingyun turned into light and fell straight to the top of the mountain, looking down, his heart was tight, only to see that the dust was flying under the mountain, and a black wave was surging from afar, like an ant colony, no less than 300,000.

"Haha, it's coming!" Xiao Qingmu took a step slower, and when he saw this, he shouted excitedly, "Lord Shouzao, the disciple is a new true lineage, and he urgently needs to prove himself, please order the disciple to be the vanguard, and kill him without leaving a piece of armor!"

How much wind and rain Gu Qingyun has experienced, how could he not see the depth of this hairy boy, he just shouted: "All departments are in place quickly!"

"Xiao Qingmu!"

"The last general!" Xiao Qingmu's eyes widened and he said excitedly.

"This seat orders you to go back to the headquarters immediately to transfer reinforcements, and it is said that the main force is under the enemy's back, and there must be no delay for a moment!"

"What?" Xiao Qingmu only felt a basin of cold water poured down from the top of his head, extinguishing most of his fighting intent. He gritted his teeth, still unconvinced, "Shouza, it's better to let senior sister ...... this matter"

"Shut up!" Gu Qingyun stared at him sharply, "The enemy army is prepared, don't be rash!"

"Compliance...... Fate!" Xiao Qingmu reluctantly agreed, and slowly swallowed the sword.

"The first seat, leave this matter to him......"

Gu Qingyun waved his hand to interrupt Xie Zhanxi: "He doesn't know that the battlefield is dangerous, if he participates in the war, he will definitely die." ”

Xie Zhanxi fell silent, the "rumble" in her ears vibrate, getting closer and closer, and her heart trembled.

"When the enemy crosses the line, there should be a warning. Gu Qingyun's heart softened, and he comforted softly, "Although the battle situation on the front line is fierce, the battle line is narrow, and the army still has room to mobilize. We must block them here first, otherwise, this army will take advantage of the situation to copy the back road of the coalition army, and the main force will suffer from the enemy on its back, and the defeat will be irretrievable. I sent Aoki to send reinforcements, also just in case. ”

Seventeen hundred guards came to the top of the mountain, and each took his place. Feeling the terrifying might of the enemy, there were dozens of scattered cultivators who wanted to escape on the spot.

After Gu Qingyun personally killed a few people, the commotion gradually calmed down.

"I think you all remember what the alliance leader said," Gu Qingyun's voice was not loud, but it was enough to reach everyone's ears, "The main general didn't say to withdraw from the army, whoever dares to escape will be killed on the spot;

"I, we have this little force, how can we fight!" a sanxiu with a frightened face roared.

"As long as you hold on for a while, this seat has sent people to transfer reinforcements, and the key points here, those who stay in the headquarters are not stupid people. ”

"But ......"

Gu Qingyun was already an impatient person, and his face immediately sank: "Either fight or die, choose one yourself!"

After speaking, he ignored them at all, and shouted: "All the demon soldiers obey the order, set up a shield array, and use your bodies to block the impact of the ghost soldiers for me." Remember, your majesty is on the front line, take a step back here, and the main force on the front line will be doomed!"

A thousand heavy armor silently set up a formation in front of the top of the mountain, just blocking the entire mountain pass, which has also been measured a long time ago, if the enemy attacked, the right mountain road and the front ramp can be blocked.

"The two of you take fifty disciples of the Empirical Academy and guard the empty road!" Gu Qingyun ordered Xie Zhanxi and the others again.

"Yes!"
