From space to the world, it takes trillions of years
Chapter 73 Flooded 7th Army
After carefully burying the three jars of sweet wine in the soil, Chen Yu began to carve a formation on the jujube tree.
It takes a lot of time to carve thousands of spirit-gathering array patterns.
Now that it has come to the most critical step of forming the formation, Chen Yu has become more cautious.
He deduced it several times again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he tried to connect the array patterns together in a special way.
Fortunately, no accidents occurred.
The array patterns were connected, and suddenly released a hazy light.
The halo converged, the formation was completed, and the surrounding spiritual energy quickly rushed towards the trunk of the jujube tree.
After a while, the spiritual energy gradually became saturated.
Chen Yu discovered that the speed at which the jujube tree absorbed spiritual energy had more than doubled.
Of course, the material quality of the jujube tree is not enough to preserve the formation for a long time. At most three months, the formation pattern will slowly disappear.
As the jujube wood absorbs more and more spiritual energy, its strength gradually increases, and the spirit gathering array can last longer.
First set a small goal and leave a permanent formation on the jujube tree.
The world of immortal cultivation has a vast amount of spiritual power, and it is not impossible that there are plants that can become spirits.
Chen Yu was also somewhat expectant, wondering what the monster transformed from the spiritual plant would look like.
However, the tens of thousands of troops from Jiyang County marched along the Ji River for more than ten days.
The militias they run are well aware of their own situation. Some can compete with regular soldiers and have good combat effectiveness. Some are just there to make up the numbers, with only one more set of clothes than beggars.
Those who felt that they were inferior to others in combat capability took the initiative to retreat to the back, serving as laborers and transporting supplies.
The 30,000-strong army was clearly divided into two groups, 22,000 of whom were "regular soldiers." They walked in front of the group and marched faster.
About 10,000 people were there to make up the numbers, and some were even the elderly and the weak who were forced to come.
This group of people walked at the back, and their march was sparse, with people slipping away from time to time.
The deputy commanders of the militia did not care and just dealt with the elders of the clan and the county governor.
As a result, more and more people ran away, and almost half of the people behind had escaped.
When the county magistrate found out, he was furious and yelled, "You are fighting for yourselves. When I give up, what will you do when facing the bandits?"
He vented his anger by scolding the twenty-three deputy commanders of the militia, but he didn't dare to say anything about those acquired warriors.
Although they are both members of a large family in the county town, their status is incomparable.
"Shangguan, the territory of Xuansu County is ahead."
Xuansu County has been suffering from drought for so long that the fact that there has been no crowing of roosters for a thousand miles is not enough to describe it.
The county magistrate got off the carriage and looked at the depression in front of him. The terrain here was rugged and it was very uncomfortable to be bumped around in the carriage. It would be better to go out and ride a horse.
But the horse's back rubbed his thigh so hard that he felt severe pain, so he had to get off and walk.
After walking for several miles, the county governor was feeling annoyed. Suddenly, a man came up from behind and said that the more than 10,000 soldiers behind him had disappeared.
In broad daylight, are they all deserters?
The county magistrate was greatly alarmed, and immediately called for a post-natal warrior to lead his troops to investigate.
However, they found that hundreds of cavalrymen were looking at them from afar, and as for the militia, they had long disappeared.
It's bad. Tens of thousands of people attacked the rebel's heartland in a swaggering manner without keeping it secret.
When the county magistrate received the news, he realized that something was wrong.
It turned out that after Xu Xiru got the news, he knew that the Qihuo Camp could not just hold on. Otherwise, even if they won in the end, all their years of hard work would be wasted.
Jiyang County was on the bank of the Ji River. He anticipated that the enemy would attack along the Ji River, so he considered flooding the army in the low-lying area.
Xu Xiru knew that the enemy's scouts were not stupid and might not notice their small moves, but if they dug a dike and set an ambush, they would definitely be discovered.
So when the enemy passed through that depression, he did nothing and waited until the enemy passed by before leading the cavalry into battle.
He saw that the government troops were not well-organized, so he immediately decided to break up these half-baked grain transport teams.
If you cut off their food supplies first, the commander will lose his patience and lead his army to attack.
Even if the other party doesn't get carried away, it's a good thing to eat one first.
Next, thousands of infantrymen rushed here from five miles away and dug up the bank of the Ji River.
During this period of time, he had to prevent the enemy from discovering the whereabouts of the infantry, and at the same time make the enemy general angry and walk into the ambush site at the predetermined time.
Xu Yan's hair is half gray and half white, but he is still as heroic as ever.
There are several acquired martial artists among the enemy army. If he doesn't come over, the Beggars' Camp will suffer a great loss.
However, the government troops also sent hundreds of cavalry to fight, led by three warriors in the early stage of the acquired realm.
The distance of only a few hundred feet was reachable in a flash for the cavalry.
Several acquired martial artists were well aware of Xu Yan's reputation, so they hid behind him in fear.
The two armies first exchanged fire, and each lost more than ten men and horses.
Then they engaged in close combat, and the sound of sharp blades entering the body was endless.
With only a few hundred men, Xu Yan was not afraid of being besieged and actually abandoned his horse and fought on foot.
I've been used to using spears for many years, and I feel uncomfortable using my bare hands.
The two-meter-long spear could kill several war horses with one sweep.
The Qihuoying soldiers have been in the army for many years and their fighting ability is much stronger than these half-baked cavalrymen.
For a while, the government army's offensive was frustrated, and the three acquired warriors didn't even dare to show their heads.
The militia organized by the gentry had few cavalry to begin with, and it cost a considerable price to gather these hundreds of cavalry.
Seeing that their precious cavalry suffered heavy losses, they could no longer hold back and led their infantry to come to support.
Xu Yan and others decided to stop while they were ahead and let them rescue the cavalry.
The two sides remained in a stalemate for a while.
In the end, it was the government troops who took the lead in launching the attack. They didn't know much about the Beggars' Camp and didn't know how many troops the other side had.
The most urgent task is to open up the food supply route, and then decide whether to withdraw the troops back to the city or continue to suppress the bandits.
The government troops and the rebels were once again in a fierce battle.
The advantage of cavalry is its mobility, which makes it difficult for the government troops to take care of the front and the rear.
The enemy's cavalry were completely useless, and the acquired warriors were even more afraid of their lives.
Hundreds of people rushed left and right, just running around in the depression, and there were not many casualties.
After a quarter of an hour, Xu Yan and others pretended to be exhausted and the cavalry did not seem to be very elite.
The crowd fought and retreated, and soon reached the center of the depression.
The county magistrate was excited to see his own infantrymen displaying such prowess, and ordered the militiamen to attack quickly.
Xu Yan saw a white light appearing above him, and suddenly his expression became stern. He shouted, "Go!"
Upon hearing the shouts, hundreds of cavalrymen immediately galloped on their horses and rushed out of the edge of the depression as if they were escaping.
I thought the rebels were defeated and fled, and now is the time to reap the harvest.
The government troops followed closely in pursuit, but unfortunately most of them were infantry and could not even get a bite of ashes.
Who would have thought that at this moment a rumbling sound would be heard from hundreds of feet away, as if the earth was cracking and the sky was collapsing.
The county magistrate looked up and his face turned pale.
I was careless and underestimated the enemy, fell into an ambush, and fell into this natural trap.
Some soldiers understood what was going on and ran away, wishing their parents had not given them two more legs.
Even more people were swept into the torrent without knowing why.
Of course, their results were the same. Even a post-natal warrior could not escape this mighty power.
Xu Xiru stood on the river bank on horseback, watching the surging river swallow up countless government troops.
Once upon a time, the scholar who was taking the exam ended up standing on the opposite side of the court.
