Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 106 Leaving the City
"Yawn...Brother Tie, a bed is meant for people to sleep on. It will be sad if you don't sleep on it."

After only one night of sleeping with Tiedan, Zhen Baiyu couldn't bear it anymore. Her whole body felt like it was falling apart, and her bones were aching. She complained and shook off the dirt that had stuck to her body after rolling under the bed all night.

Tiedan glanced at her sideways.
"You snore so loudly that the bed shakes."

Zhen Baiyu was shocked.
"What! No! Impossible! How could I not know I was snoring!... Is it very loud?"

Tiedan was too lazy to pay attention to her. He grabbed two handfuls of yarrow in his hands, scored one bunch after another with his left hand, and pinched them between his fingertips to practice the arithmetic methods taught in the old Xuanmen magic book.

The so-called calculation is the creation of the universe, the formation is the foundation of the world, and the arithmetic is the foundation of the five arts. Whether it is drawing talismans and setting up formations, or refining elixirs and tools, you need the basic skills of arithmetic. If you don't even have the basic skills of calculation, many superior Taoist methods are destined to be out of your reach in this life.

Therefore, this subject is actually the biggest threshold for the number of true disciples of Xuanmen. The inheritance of immortal fate can be achieved by forming a partner or relying on the sect to a certain extent, but if you know how to use magic, you will know it, and if you don’t know it, you won’t know it. There is no logic to it.

But Tiedan felt okay because he was not fighting alone. Not only did he have the subject book, wrong question book, exercise book, practice papers, test papers, and simulation papers from the old Xuanmen Fa Chuan for reference and practice, but he also had Xuantian and Kun there to give him advice. If he didn't understand a question, he could ask them for help.

Yes, what shocked Tiedan was that not only was Chen Xuantian a mathematical genius, he also brought a lot of equations and algorithms with his computer, which greatly broadened Tiedan's horizons. Even Kun's arithmetic was much better than his own, especially that it could even use abacus to calculate, worthy of having such a big fish head...

As a result, one of them was distracted by arithmetic and the other was distracted by snoring. The two of them walked out of the city with their heads down. When they looked up, they were stopped by the army again.

"The Cavalry Commander has issued an order! Seal off the city and prepare for war from now on! No one is allowed to leave the city without the Commander's permission!"

Tiedan came to his senses, put away the grass and looked up, only to see that the road to the city gate had been blocked. A large group of Gen cavalrymen were fully armed, holding long spears and wearing heavy armor. Every three horses were chained together with iron chains, blocking the road tightly. Five or ten teams came in like heavy iron waves.

These heavily armored cavalrymen did not even charge, but simply paced the streets. The sound of heavy horse hooves hitting the bricks and stones spread out like rolling thunder, frightening people and causing pedestrians to run away in all directions.

Tiedan quickly reached out to stop them, hugged Zhen Baiyu's waist and hid in the alley.

Zhen Baiyu was caught off guard and her weak spot was caught. She let out a moan and collapsed in Tiedan's arms, completely powerless.

Tietan glanced at this pure waste and had no time to care about her. He sent out his spiritual sense and found that in addition to the dozens of heavy cavalry patrolling the streets, there were also hundreds of heavily armored soldiers at the door.

The thousand-pound iron bars at the south gate were lowered, the drawbridge was put up, there was a four-zhang-wide moat in front of the city, and the city walls were filled with powerful bows, crossbows, and catapults. Now that Tiedan's strength had not recovered, it seemed impossible for him to break out by force.

It seems that yesterday's commotion was too big, and the cavalry captain is serious about it. He directly mobilized elite troops to block the roads and gates. This is an imminent war, and no matter how powerful the family is, they will not give you any face and will close the city and defend it.

"The Cavalry Commander should be the Patriarch of the Ju Family."

Although she was always teased by Tiedan but rejected, Zhen Baiyu's eyes were full of resentment, but she finally listened to him.

It’s not that Tiedan doesn’t want to find a partner, but his requirements are relatively high. Other men only need a soft body and smooth skin, but Tiedan’s requirements for functionality are much higher. He actually wants her to be a woman who can survive in ice and snow...

Anyway, Zhen Baiyu also knew that he couldn't meet this standard yet. If he couldn't prove that he was useful enough, he would definitely be left further and further behind and forgotten by him.

"The Ju family is the leader of the local aristocratic family in Genzhou. They are well versed in military affairs and proficient in military tactics. They are appointed as the Cavalry Commander. Although this position is low, it is mainly because he comes from a frontier army aristocratic family and cannot be evaluated as a third-rank official.

In fact, this family has been in charge of the military for generations and is familiar with military affairs. They have been responsible for leading the cavalry, holding the yellow axe, patrolling the nine borders on behalf of the king, assisting in military affairs, and supervising the generals. Their influence in the military is particularly strong.

This time, Gen State lost 100,000 soldiers, most of whom were local nobles and warlords. Therefore, these local warlords and clans all deeply hated the tyranny of Duke Zhongshan of Kan State and refused to surrender. They probably wanted to elect the Cavalry Commander as the leader and have a big battle in Ye City."

"To defend Ye City, we must first defend the Zhang River. Once the main force crosses the river, it will be over. Only a small force can block them in the city.

By controlling the upper reaches, they could build dams in the dry season to cut off the flow of water to the city, and in the rainy season they could dig canals to flood the city.

By then, Ye City will surely fall."

Tiedan thought about it for a while.
"I understand this. He is a captain and his family has been in charge of the army for generations. He would never close the four gates and hand over the natural barrier of Zhang River to others.

Let’s go, the north gate should be open yet.”

As Tiedan expected, the north gate was not only open, but also busy with vehicles and people, but they were all military vehicles and food vehicles, transporting military supplies from outside the city. The assembled army also marched out of the city in batches, set up camps and forts on the south bank of the Zhang River, and controlled the large and small ferry crossings.

Zhen Baiyu was curious, "But can we go around the Huan River from the east?"

Tiedan nodded and shook his head.
"It's difficult in theory. Although dividing the troops is a unique strategy, if the circle is too large, if they are discovered by scouts, they will lose the initiative and easily fall into disadvantage. Even if the troops take a risky move and fly across the city, the cavalry will not be able to attack the city. By then, the main force on the other side of the Zhang River will not be able to come over, and this small army will be in danger.

Moreover, based on my understanding of the Kan army, they only go south to build garrisons and usually will not fight to the death on the city walls. If it is winter and the Zhang River is frozen, they might risk crossing over to fight, but don't even think about it now.

So as long as the vanguard of the Kan army arrives at the river, they will find that there are camps and garrisons of the Gen army along the river bank. If they cannot find any loopholes, they can hold out for a while, extort some gold and silver, and then return. "

"Oh……"

Zhen Baiyu was silent for a while, then asked the key question,

"Why is the king running?"

Who knows, maybe this is destiny...

"Wait here."

Tiedan observed and paid attention to the flags and commands of the Gen army that were sent back and forth, and soon realized that although Yedu was not short of people, most of them were new recruits. Asking them to stop the elite cavalry was simply suicide. I'm afraid they would be trampled before they could stop them. Their only purpose was to fill the gaps and build fortifications, bluffing, and deterring the Northern Army from crossing the south easily.

It was naturally impossible for the new recruits who were hastily reorganized to have complicated and rigorous military orders. In fact, because the Kan army swept through and came too quickly, the military equipment and flags were not even complete for a while.

Therefore, the captain used the twelve hours as his camp name, and then used local materials, including the three palaces of Bronze Stork, Golden Phoenix and Jade Unicorn, and the royal flags and ceremonial guards in the treasury, to organize the front, middle and rear armies.

You know what, at first glance they look majestic, with a neat and orderly military appearance. Just when 100,000 soldiers were trapped, they pulled out another large army in the blink of an eye. Of course, there is the accumulated national strength of Gen State, but the person in charge is really capable.

Although usually it is the good-for-nothings and beasts in human clothing who occupy high positions and take all the advantages, when the building is about to collapse, those who are in office but do nothing will run away at the first opportunity, and then those suppressed capable and righteous people will emerge like waves, one after another, and turn the tide.

The Demon Palace is really a magical place.

Tiedan is an expert at searching camps. He searched the main camp of the Kan army and the main camp of the Gen army.

So this time he skillfully took out two sets of military uniforms and helped Zhen Baiyu put them on. Then the two of them hid in an alley. When a new group of soldiers passed by, he suddenly used the Red Evil Sword to set fire in the distance to attract attention, and then blended into the crowd in the chaos.

It was so easy, just like going home. All I had to do was clear the level, cross the bridge, get out of the city, and find a chance to escape...

Suddenly, Tiedan's whole body was shaken, and he felt a domineering divine thought sweeping through his body. The red evil true qi in the sea of ​​qi meridians was like being thrown into a frying pan with a spark, almost boiling!
Someone is doing something! Or...

"Roar--"

A roar came from the sky, and a huge, red-bodied evil dragon glided through the air and swooped down!

In the dragon's open mouth, a bright red golden fire bead grew larger and larger, shining like the golden sun!

Tiedan was quick-witted and quick-handed. He hugged Zhen Baiyu in his arms and jumped off the bridge!

"Roar--!"

"boom--!"

"what--!"

The next moment, the dragon's breath erupted in an overwhelming manner! Sweeping the heavens and the earth! The dragon's breath flames burned along the avenue, along the suspension bridge, and all the way through the city gate!
A battalion of 3,000 soldiers were crowded together on the military road, like a long worm, with almost no escape! They were caught in the overwhelming flames!

At least a hundred people were killed on the spot! Thousands were burned to charcoal! Countless firemen wailed and screamed, falling under the bridge with a thump, throwing away their armor and fleeing in all directions!
Tiedan took Zhen Baiyu and hid under the moat, hiding under the spiritual awareness shielding door. Through the swaying light and shadow on the water, they looked coldly at the red dragon hovering in the sky.

It hovered for a long time, but it didn't fly away. It actually "boomed!" and landed on all fours, hovering at the city gate and landing on the wall of Ye City. It looked down at the hell of charred corpses burning to death on the ground below, and the countless living beings struggling and wailing in the sea of ​​fire.

A pair of golden dragon eyes, with cruel killing intent and endless pressure, repeatedly scanned the moat and the city wall, the people wailing and screaming, struggling in the sea of ​​fire. Looking left and right, it seemed to be looking for something.

This bastard, could it be coming for him...
