This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 502 Battle of Baisha Province

Feng Province, Datong Prefecture.

Under the cover of night, inside Wu’an University, a three-story ship, twelve meters long, was parked on the plains of the exotic animal breeding area.

This building ship is a large flying magic weapon and a strategic weapon of the Xiao family!
Although there were trains and cars in this era, their speed was not fast, and the railways and roads in many places were not well built.

So transportation is still a big problem.

If you want to get somewhere quickly, flying is the fastest way.

However, flying magical powers and flying instruments are very scarce. When a real person uses the art of controlling the wind, or a grandmaster relies on the realm of martial arts to fly, the consumption is very large and it is difficult to sustain.

In this case, a large flying magic weapon can carry a small number of elite troops and cross hundreds of kilometers in a short period of time with low losses, naturally becoming an extremely important strategic weapon.

The black boat in Li Fei's hand can accommodate too few people and has a low load capacity. If it wants to fly with an overload, for example, the black boat flies in the sky, heavy objects or more people can be hung with iron chains underneath.

The black boat couldn't fly at all, and there were problems with the magic weapon itself.

For a martial arts master like Fang Ziyan who has the ability to fly, it is okay for him to take one person on a long-distance flight, but he cannot handle it if he takes more than one person.

Therefore, if Li Fei wants to launch a surprise attack on Baisha Province, he must have a large flying magic weapon.

Fortunately, the Xiao family had such a thing, which directly brought prosperity to the province this time.

It is precisely because of this magic weapon that Xiao Ruixing and others were able to reach Feng Province faster than others.

This ship can accommodate more than 200 people at most and has a huge load-bearing capacity, which is enough for Li Fei to bring a group of elite troops to Baisha Province.

Xiao Ruixing and Huo Hansi finally agreed to Li Fei's plan.

For the Xiao family, of course they sincerely hope that the rebels can be defeated.

Li Fei's plan is beneficial to the overall situation. By eliminating the Gouchen Sword Sect and Baituo Mountain first, the rebels will be much weaker in terms of high-level combat power in the future decisive battle.

No matter what cards the eldest prince and King Li have hidden, it is always a good idea to weaken the other side first.

So Xiao Ruixing thought about it again and again and agreed to Li Fei's plan.

As for Huo Hansi, this time the Huo family received a lot of benefits from the Xiao family, and his personal participation in the war was already a statement.

And when he learned that Qiu Zian would also go to Baisha Province, he had no hesitation at all.

He also agreed with Li Fei's plan!
Fang Ziyan needed to treat Shi Caiming's injuries, so he did not participate in this operation.

Shi Caiming's injuries were too severe, and even with Fang Ziyan's use of his magical power [Benevolence], it would take some time for him to recover, so he didn't go either.

In this operation, the strongest fighter on Li Fei's side is Huo Hansi, the grandmaster at the peak of the Shengji realm, followed by Li Fei, the 'quasi-grandmaster'.

In addition, four martial arts masters, Qin Zhen, Qiu Zian, Liang Xin, the leader of the Feng Province Zhige tribe, and Wang Yilong, the leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect, will also participate.

Li Fei also transferred the two martial arts masters who were previously responsible for protecting Li Lei and Zhang Yuqing, Master Jiming from Leichan Temple and the independent cultivator Yu Lei.

As for Li Lei, Zhang Yuqing and others, he temporarily placed them in Wu'an University.

The Xiao family and the Huo family brought five martial arts masters, so there are a total of eleven martial arts masters participating this time!
In addition, there were Xiao Ruixing, a real person worshipped by the Xiao family, and Zhao Caishu, the chief of the Feng Province's Zhengfa Department, a total of three real people of the time participating.

In addition, there were a total of seventy-nine Dao Foundation Stage warriors and twenty-five Possession Stage great wizards brought by the Xiao family and the Huo family from various places in Feng Province.

Finally, he brought along 150 imperial soldiers from Datong Prefecture.

In Baisha Province, there is also a president of Baisha University, Liu Changwen, who is a grandmaster of the Divine Realm. Although he is injured, he still has combat power.

Baisha University and the Baisha Provincial Government are also a strong force.

Otherwise, it would have been devoured by the Gouchen Sword Sect and Baituo Mountain long ago, and it would have been impossible to hold the remaining territory.

With the power of Baisha Province and the support of Li Fei and others, it is not impossible to destroy Baituo Mountain and Gouchen Sword Sect!

Although Li Fei told Xiao Ruixing and others that they could set off immediately, various mobilizations and preparations still required them to wait for another day.

It was not until the evening of July 7 that everyone was gathered and ready to set off.

In order to maintain confidentiality, many people did not know what they were going to do when they were notified to come here.

After everyone boarded the ship, Li Fei did not tell them the purpose of this trip.

Except for a few people, everyone else just followed orders.

Thanks to the fact that Li Fei is now in charge of the military and political power of the entire Feng Province, he was able to mobilize this force so quickly.

A moment later, the huge building ship slowly rose into the air, and the formation on the hull was activated. From the outside, the building ship had disappeared out of thin air, and its shape was invisible.

The huge object quickly flew through the clouds in the night and headed towards its destination.

"According to the flying speed of the Mirage, we expect to arrive at the provincial capital of Baisha Province around 5 a.m. tomorrow."

On the top floor of the ship, in the control room, Xiao Ruixing said to Li Fei.

After carrying more than 200 people and a weight of over 60,000 kilograms, the speed of this large flying magic weapon was reduced to the lowest.

Compared to the large flying magic weapon 'Crane Hidden in the Clouds' that the eldest prince and his men rode, the Xiao family's 'Mirage' is stronger in concealment and load-bearing capacity, but its speed is a level slower.

But it's still much faster than walking on land.

"Okay, thank you Master Xiao for keeping an eye on it."

Li Fei said to Xiao Ruixing, then sat cross-legged in the control room, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.

During this period of seclusion, his blood soul has been continuously consumed, so the number of blood souls in the Ten Thousand Blood Pearls is not full at present, there are only 3021.

After ten days of storage, there are currently 1685 blood souls in the blood fountain.

After one night, the blood soul could not recover much, so Li Fei just took the time to continue strengthening the [Hunyuan Sword Realm] in the illusion.

7 month 18 day.

The vanguard of the southern army arrived in Xiguang Province, only one province away from Baisha Province.

Xiguang Province received orders in advance to gather all its elite troops to join Feng Province, so now Xiguang Province has no strength to resist this inbound vanguard force.

This vanguard force headed straight for the provincial capital, preparing to obtain supplies, and then let some people "turn to the light", and finally forced these people to continue moving forward.

This vanguard troop has been doing this all the way, so their numbers have increased.

Of course, such a team is destined to only fight when the wind is in their favor.

If the situation on the battlefield turns slightly unfavorable, this team will collapse immediately!

When the vanguard of the rebels rushed towards the provincial capital of Xiguang Province, the Xiao family's "Mirage" had already flown over the provincial capital of Baisha Province.

Baisha University is located in the provincial capital.

Li Fei did not let the "Mirage" land directly, but continued to remain invisible in the sky. He took Xiao Ruixing, Huo Hansi and Qiu Zian and quietly landed on the campus of Baisha University.

According to the prior agreement, several people came to a building guarded by the imperial army.

However, the appearances of several people have changed and are no longer the same as before.

Soon, someone walked out of the building and said a few words to the general of the Imperial Camp who was guarding the periphery. Then the Imperial Camp soldiers made way for the four people to enter the building.

Officials wearing official robes can be seen everywhere in the building, and their official positions are not low.

After the Gouchen Sword Sect and Baituo Mountain openly fought, the government building in the provincial capital of Baisha Province was moved to Baisha University to avoid being assassinated.

Li Fei and others were quickly taken to the fifth floor and walked into a conference room.

There are four people sitting in the conference room.

After seeing the person coming, the four of them stood up one after another.

The door of the conference room was closed, and Li Fei and the others also lifted their disguises. A man with no cultivation and wearing an official uniform had his eyes lit up and immediately saluted Li Fei:
"He Shushan, the inspector general of Baisha Province, greets Marquis Jing'an and all of you."

"Lord He."

Li Fei clasped his fists in return.

"Finally, you are all here. To be honest, we just received news that the vanguard of the rebels has entered Xiguang Province. If you had come a day later, I'm afraid we would have already started to evacuate with our people."

He Shushan said with some excitement.

In fact, few of these people in Baisha Province are willing to evacuate.

It’s not that they are truly loyal to the Great Blue Dynasty and willing to sacrifice their lives for their country, but that their families, friends, properties, wealth, etc. are all in Baisha Province.

Once they withdraw with their elite forces, the entire Baisha Province will be at the mercy of the rebels!
Even if Baisha Province is taken back in the future, who knows what my home will look like by then? How much of my stuff will be left?

So when Li Fei contacted the senior management here and proposed his plan, He Shushan and others agreed with both hands.

First of all, this is an opportunity to make a contribution.

Secondly, the Gouchen Sword Sect and Baituo Mountain suddenly launched an attack, killed many people, and seized a lot of benefits, and they have already formed a blood feud with the local forces represented by He Shushan!
Thirdly, if they could get rid of the Gouchen Sword Sect and Baituo Mountain, they might be able to buy more time, giving them the opportunity to withdraw more people and resources.

Based on these reasons, He Shushan and others were naturally willing to fully cooperate with the action proposed by Li Fei.

After both parties sat down, they quickly got down to business.

"How is Principal Liu's injury?"

Li Fei first asked a key question.

No matter what form of war, the top strongmen are always the key to victory or defeat.

Liu Changwen's condition will directly affect the success of this operation!

Liu Changwen, the president of Baisha University, is not tall and is a bit fat.

Among warriors, this kind of body shape is actually rare, and most of them are just muscular.

Liu Changwen's eyes looked a little gloomy, and he said:

"I was ambushed by that old fellow Hong Zhi and my martial arts realm was injured. My current condition is about 70% of my peak condition."

Li Fei continued to ask: "How strong is the great elder of Baituo Mountain?"

Liu Changwen narrowed his eyes and said, "That old guy was already at the Divine Evolution Realm twenty years ago. The last time we fought, he showed the cultivation of the peak of the Divine Evolution Realm, and he was only one step away from the Li Dao Realm."

Li Fei: "How does it compare to Bo Chen?"

These words startled Liu Changwen, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Li Fei also changed.

The famous master of the Gouchen Sword was hacked to death by Li Fei and others!
"Hong Zhi is not as good as Bo Chen."

Liu Changwen said with certainty.

If the person who attacked him that night was Bo Chen instead of Hong Zhi, he might have died!
Li Fei nodded, having a rough idea in his mind.

It seems that Huo Hansi and Liu Changwen are able to rival Hong Zhi when they join forces.

If he takes action, there is a good chance that he can kill Hong Zhi!
"What is the attitude of the Yu family? Are they likely to help the other side?"

Li Fei raised another key question.

Today, Baisha Province is divided into three parts, and the only parts that the imperial court can truly control are the provincial capital and the surrounding villages and towns.

Of the remaining three prefectures, two are controlled by the Gouchen Sword Sect and Baituo Mountain.

There is another prefecture which is nominally under the control of the imperial court, but in fact the one with the greatest influence is the Divine Fist Yu Family, one of the 'Seven Great Families'.

The reason why Gouchen Sword Sect and Baituo Mountain did not take over this mansion was because they were concerned about the Yu family and did not want to force the other party to the opposite side.

The imperial court naturally also tried to win over the Yu family in secret, hoping that they would lend a helping hand.

"I have spoken to the current head of the Yu family several times. The Yu family's attitude is ambiguous. It seems that they intend to not help either side."

He Shushan said, "In addition, the spies planted by the Supervision Department in the Yu family have not found any major moves by the Yu family. The current judgment is that there is more than 70% certainty that the Yu family will not take action."

"it is good."

Li Fei nodded.

He Shushan served as the Inspector General of Baisha Province for more than ten years. His judgment, combined with the investigation of the spies of the Ministry of Supervision, should be relatively accurate.

In fact, if the Yu family had also joined the other side, Baisha Province would have been "occupied" long ago, and there would be no time for Li Fei to bring people to support them.

The reason why the Yu family was unwilling to take action was very simple.

As the vanguard of the southern border army is about to arrive in Baisha Province, the Yu family will not gain much from helping the court, but will face great risks.

"Then let's not consider the Yu family for now, but we must also make a backup plan."

Li Fei suggested.

Then several people discussed specific tactics in the conference room.

More than thirty minutes later, Li Fei and others left.

Subsequently, personnel from Baisha University and the provincial capital took action.

Three martial arts masters, one real person, forty-seven martial artists in the Dao foundation period, and twenty-two great magicians in the possession period.

In addition, there were more than 500 imperial camp troops and more than 1,200 city guards.

All the elite forces from Baisha University and the provincial capital were gathered together and set out!

This was almost a full-scale mobilization, completely abandoning the defense of the provincial capital.

If we lose this battle, Baisha Province will basically be out of the control of the imperial court.

More than 500 soldiers from the imperial camp all rode on exotic beasts, and more than 1,200 city guards all rode on large troop transport trucks.

The troops quickly assembled, left the provincial capital, and headed towards Wangcheng Prefecture which was controlled by the Gouchen Sword Sect.

The headquarters of the Gouchen Sword School is in Wangcheng Prefecture, on a plain about ten kilometers outside Qingxu City.

The straight-line distance from the provincial capital to that place is more than 180 kilometers, and a highway has been built in the middle, which can reach there directly.

The large trucks that the city guards were riding in had a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, making them the slowest in the team.

In other words, even if they did not stop along the way and did not encounter any problems on the road, it would still take the team more than six hours to reach the headquarters of the Gouchen Sword Sect.

The movement in the provincial capital could not be concealed. More than six hours was enough for the enemy to receive the news and make preparations.

However, Baituo Mountain is farther away from the Gouchen Sword Sect, and they do not have any large flying magic weapons to use.

After receiving the news, even if we send people as quickly as possible to provide support in time, we can only send a small number of elite troops:
Imperial Cavalry, Exotic Beast Cavalry, and warriors at the Dao Foundation Stage and above.

Even if these people arrived quickly, the consumption would definitely be huge.

Moreover, if Baituo Mountain sends support, it is impossible for it to send all the elite troops, so there must be some reservations.

This is why Li Fei and others chose to attack the Gouchen Sword Sect first.

Bai Tuoshan will not give up the Gouchen Sword Sect easily, so the great master Hong Zhi will definitely come.

As long as Hong Zhi is killed, the elite forces of Baituo Mountain will be severely damaged.

Then there will no longer be suspense in the battle of Baisha Province.
