Chapter 104 Chaos Battlefield
Wei Zeyuan, who grew up in a sect, was a native-born disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect. He commanded an army of guards in the town of Diwei, and he was in the eighth level of the acquired state. He once led [-] guards in the town and [-] Heavenly Dao troops to conquer Yuzhou in Central Chu. The state city made Zhongchu and Yuzhou the first big state to fall.

In short, regardless of his identity, status, strength, or talent, this person is among the top existences in the Heavenly Dao Army, and he must have top-secret information about the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Heavenly Dao Army.

"General Gongsun is joking."

Qin Yuan smiled. The Earth Guards were more powerful elites than the Human Spirit Guards, and Qin Yuan did not dare to win them with 100% certainty.

Moreover, there are really too many forces dispatching troops this time. Even Gongsun Chi is planning to suppress the guards, so it may not be Qin Yuan's turn.

So Qin Yuan doesn't mind being a qualified bystander, knowing the strength of Zhendiwei, Gongsun Chi and other princes.

If Zhen Diwei went towards Bai Qi and the Killing God Army, Qin Yuan could also seize the opportunity to help.

In short, regardless of whether the Zhendiwei was heading towards the front of the formation or not, the dispatch of the Zhendiwei attracted the attention of many princes in the court camp, making the entire Yiyou battlefield tense.

As the saying goes, one hair can move the whole body, and the Yiyou battlefield will set off a bloody storm again.

Along the way, Qin Yuan met many forces. Because of the banner of Gongsun Chi who was traveling with him, many teams saw them take the initiative to give up a broad road, and did not receive any obstruction.

He even met Wu Yuanzai, the prefect of Linghai County, Jiang Shengbing's boss.

Looking at the more than 5000 soldiers led by Wu Yuanzai, Qin Yuan shook his head involuntarily.

Along the way, in addition to his Dragon Scale Army and Gongsun Chi's two elite armies, there were many elite armies from other forces. On the surface, they were all much stronger than Wu Yuanzai's army.

"This is the Qin Yuan you mentioned yesterday? It seems that he has a good relationship with Gongsun Chi."

Wu Yuanzai stared blankly at the leaving back of the Dragon Scale Army. After a long time, he said with a dry throat.

Jiang Shengbing didn't know how to answer, he didn't know about this relationship at all.

After reporting his story to Wu Yuanzai yesterday, he said he wanted to visit Qin Yuan, but Wu Yuanzai rejected it.

Also the prefect of the same place, Wu Yuanzai was born in an aristocratic family, insisting on his own status, he ignored Jiang Shengbing's request at all.

What he didn't expect was that he missed an opportunity. It would be of great benefit to him if he could use Qin Yuan's line to make a relationship with Gongsun Chi.

"what happened?"

Among the tide-like cavalry team, Gongsun Chi rode a fat black-haired horse with hooves rolling and long mane flying.

Qin Yuan, on the other hand, was sitting on a fiery red horse, galloping at a high speed, and his four hooves seemed to not touch the ground when he ran, but Qin Yuan sat very steadily, without feeling any jolts.

"I'm thinking, so many troops have entered the Yiyou battlefield, is this a good thing or a bad thing."

Qin Yuan said thoughtfully, "I feel that there is someone driving behind all of this, and everyone can't resist and follow the trend."

If he didn't know the news about the refining formation, Qin Yuan would just think it was a normal situation. After all, if the Heavenly Dao Army sent elite aces to fight, the imperial court would inevitably send out corresponding combat forces to contend with it.

However, knowing that the refining formation was planned by the Heavenly Dao Army, Qin Yuan suspected that it was a conspiracy of the Heavenly Dao Army, and even to speed up the speed of absorbing Qi and blood energy.

"This is not a conspiracy, but a public conspiracy. The leaders of the two camps are all planners, and they may even wear the same pair of pants."

Gongsun Chi smiled, seeming to see clearly.

There have been several times that resulted in endless battles on the Yiyou battlefield.

The first time was the siege campaign initiated by the King of Nanjing, who led an army of 50, 50 princes, and millions of masters to attack Yidu City.

Although Yidu City was not captured that time, there was a series of follow-up effects. In the days that followed, the great war ended and small battles continued, countless soldiers died on the battlefield.

The second time was when Yuan Zi wiped out the Human Lingwei, causing the Tiandao Army to counterattack. In the next three days, the Tiandao Army sent nearly a million troops into the Yiyou battlefield, frantically attacking the troops of the imperial court camp.

There were also several times after that, whenever the enthusiasm for war gradually dissipated, some unexpected incidents would break out, causing the two camps to confront each other, and the flames of war continued.

This time, some people speculated that Li Deyi annihilated an army of spiritual guards, which triggered the Tiandao army's revenge.

Therefore, with the previous experience, all the forces in the court camp are fully prepared this time, and they are not timid at all, preparing for a large-scale encounter with the Heavenly Dao Army.

Similarly, many people put their minds on Zhendiwei. If they could not avoid defeating Zhendiwei, their achievements would not be weaker than those of Yuan Zi and Li Deyi.

It's complicated, it's just too complicated.

Qin Yuan understood the connection, especially under Gongsun Chi's analysis, Qin Yuan almost believed that the reason why the Zhendi Guards sent troops was to avenge the Human Spirit Guard army that was annihilated by Li Deyi.

The reason why the various forces in the imperial court actively sent troops was naturally to defend the land. The reason was that after Yuan Zi and Li Deyi wiped out the human spirit guards, they were recognized and rewarded by the King of Nanjing.

"It's nothing more than fame and fortune!"

Gongsun Chi said on his lips, but he was thinking in his heart that whether it is annihilating the human spirit guard or defeating the town guard, it is all for the development of power, to gain the recognition and reward of the court, to quickly accumulate fame and prestige, and to fight for hegemony in the troubled times of the future , add a point of background.

Once you show strong strength and unparalleled value, you will definitely get the attention, bet, and trust of the waiting family.

After entering the scope of the Yiyou battlefield, Qin Yuan could feel the smell of blood in the air getting heavier, and the smell of gunpowder on the battlefield getting stronger.

In addition to the sound of marching horns, there are also the sound of attacking drums, the sound of collisions in battle, and the sound of angry shouts.

At this time, many Heavenly Dao Army and the army of the imperial court had clashed, and the two sides were fighting together.

Even during the battle between the two armies, one force suddenly broke out and joined in, making the entire battlefield more and more chaotic.

Originally, the scale of the battle was only tens of thousands, but with the passage of time, more and more forces participated in the battle, and finally expanded to tens of thousands of people, involving a battle within a radius of more than ten miles.

Luofeng Town was one of the places where the war broke out.

"Lord Zhou Mu, the enemy army launched another round of offensive. Our army couldn't resist and made a strategic retreat."

A general said to Yuan Zi who was standing on the platform.

Yuan Zi was expressionless, looking towards Luofeng Town, the sky was full of arrows and flying stones, hundreds of people were killed every moment.

The commanding platform was built temporarily, but it was good enough to watch the information for several miles around. In addition to being able to see the movement of the troops in the own camp, it also had a clear view of the battlefield of Luofeng Town in the distance.

The goal of their battle this time is the ownership of Luofeng Town.

Luofeng Town is just an ordinary town, the terrain is flat, there is no danger to defend, and it is not a traffic fortress.

If it were placed in the past, it would have been absolutely dispensable and would not even be a target of military attack.

But now, in order to compete for Luofeng Town, the two camps have gathered an army of no less than 10 people.

And the ownership of Luofeng Town changed hands again and again.

This time, it was the imperial court that lost the right to occupy Luofeng Town for the fourth time.

"Reorganize the army and prepare for the next attack."

Yuan Zi said indifferently, while looking at the people beside him, "You guys came just in time, it's up to you to do your best to take down Luofeng Town, and I will definitely report your contribution to King Nanjing."

"Is a mere Luofeng Town worth such a big fight?"

A middle-aged man who served as a local prefect asked.

These words also expressed the thoughts of other people, and their eyes fell on Yuan Zi at the same time.

"Everyone, Luofeng Town is just a battlefield, a place to fight with the enemy, it has nothing to do with the weight of Luofeng Town, but in the battle with the Heavenly Dao Army, we must win, as long as it is a place occupied by the Heavenly Dao Army , we just need to take it down."

Yuan Zi said, "In short, as long as it is what the Heavenly Dao Army wants, we cannot give it, we cannot let it go, and we must stop it at all costs."

This has nothing to do with the goal of war, but has risen to the confrontation of the entire situation.

It's just that other people are only considering short-term interests, not the interests of the overall war situation, even if they use the banner of the court to crusade against traitors.

"Of course, your meritorious deeds in killing the enemy will not be lacking. It's just a warm-up. If you defeat the enemy army on the opposite side, maybe you will attract the town guard."

Yuan Zi looked at the unpredictable faces of the people, and said a few words of relief, and finally made everyone agree with his observation of the battle, and fight for the sake of fighting.

No one noticed that the corners of Yuan Zi's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smug smile.

The former Luofeng Town naturally had no value in occupying it, but from now on it has.

Looking at the soldiers who died in the battle for Luofeng Town, Yuan Zi didn't feel any pity at all.

There was indifference and ruthlessness in his eyes, even ambition and longing.

"Luofeng Town, I've never heard of it. Could it be the location of a formation?"

Five or six miles away from Luofeng Town, Qin Yuan and Gongsun Chi were driving side by side.

"Since it was Yuan Zi who made the move, it must not be a simple act of killing the enemy."

Gongsun Chi didn't deny that for people of their status, ordinary wars can't arouse their desires at all. Only things with special significance will be personally fought for.

For example, Gongsun Chi, if it weren't for the news of Zhenlingwei, I'm afraid he would not have personally led his troops to the Yiyou battlefield.

"It makes sense."

Qin Yuan nodded in agreement, the probability that Luofeng Town is one of the formation eyes is at least 90.00%.

If not, even if Yuan Zi is willing to take down Luofeng Town at all costs, the Heavenly Dao Army will not continue to confront him.

After all, Luofeng Town is not a battleground for military strategists, or a place with rich resources.

While they were discussing, a cavalryman hurriedly got up and reported the news to Gongsun Chi's personal guards.

"It seems that he doesn't welcome us."

Gongsun Chi got the information from the guards around him, turned around and said to Qin Yuan with a smile.

Just now, they sent Yuan Zi their willingness to support, but Yuan Zi rejected it without any surprise.

"It seems that he is afraid that General Gongsun will steal Yuan Zhoumu's victory."

Qin Yuan also said with a smile.

"That's true." Gongsun Chi smiled and didn't care.

After all, depending on the situation, the battle in Luofeng Town lasted for an hour or two, and the input of [-] troops must have cost a lot. Now is the critical moment, so how could others join in and snatch the results of the battle?

If Qin Yuan supported, maybe Yuan Zi would agree. After all, Qin Yuan is weak and has a lower official position than Yuan Zi, so he can suppress others and take the dominant advantage.

If Gongsun Chi joins, I'm afraid he will turn to the customer and lose the initiative.

"Then let's go. I just received news that the Zhendi Guards have appeared in the north. If you go there early, you might be able to meet them."

Gongsun Chi said to Qin Yuan.

After they left, in the military camp outside Luofeng Town, Yuan Zi could not help but heave a sigh of relief listening to the report of his subordinates, then looked at the map on the table, dozens of red dots were scattered like stars, very messy, But there is a kind of rule faintly, which seems to be able to form a picture.

Unfortunately, the number of red dots is too small to form a real graphic.

On the other side of Luofeng Town, many leaders of the Heavenly Dao Army gathered together, with anxious expressions on their faces.

However, when they also heard that Gongsun Chi's army was leaving, the expressions on their faces relaxed at the same time.

"The main force fighting us is Yuan Zi, he should know what's in Luofeng Town."

One of them said, "With our strength, we can at most be equal to them, so I propose to ask Yidu for support."

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"It's best to let Wei Zeyuan come over in person. Isn't Yuan Zi so awesome that he uses the human spirit guard as a stepping stone? Let's see if he can take down the town guard."

Others spoke out one after another. If they couldn't withstand the imperial court's attack before, at most they would give up Luofeng Town. After all, there are so many formations, it is impossible to occupy all the formations.

However, with the outbreak of the war, more and more soldiers died in Luofeng Town, gathering a lot of blood, which made it even more unworthy for them to abandon Luofeng Town.

After Qin Yuan left Luofeng Town, he entered the most intense place of Yiyou battlefield. Almost every village and town had a war, ranging from [-] million to [-] to [-].

There are very few wars involving [-] troops like Luofeng Town.

The entire Yiyou battlefield, with the dispatch of Zhendiwei, involved many forces in the court camp. The Tiandao Army noticed the change in the imperial court's army, and also sent many troops into the Yiyou battlefield. It became more and more chaotic, and often a battle was not over yet, and they encountered enemy troops and had to continue to fight.

After all, enemies on the battlefield will not reason with you, let alone fairness.

"That's what happens when you're overwhelmed."

When Qin Yuan arrived at another battlefield, Gongsun Chi couldn't help but shook his head.

Here, a war just broke out, and as a result, the [-] troops of the imperial court camp were attacked by several troops of the Heavenly Dao Army. As a result, more than [-]% of the casualties were lost, and only two or three thousand remnants of the defeated soldiers fled around.

Gongsun Chi and Qin Yuan shot at the same time, defeated several Heavenly Dao armies, leaving thousands of enemy troops behind, but if they were to chase them, then forget it, no matter how fast the cavalry was.

After all, it wasn't the people under their hands who died, and they died too. At most, they sighed inwardly, which is a pity.

But if you want to take revenge, that's not enough.

"Zhendiwei has appeared!"

Gongsun Chi sent a message to Qin Yuan to give up chasing the enemy and quickly join him.

Qin Yuan was awe-inspiring, and frowned when he saw the location on the news.

"It is only six miles away from the worry-free village marked in General Bai's letter."

Zhuge Mo who was next to him looked at the map and said solemnly.

Qin Yuan nodded slightly. Originally, he was planning to come to Wuyou Village to see the eyes of the refining formation, but following the dispatch of the Tiandao Army's Zhendiwei, it caused a disturbance and made the situation even more tense , It has attracted many forces.

Qin Yuan also noticed some places along the way, some were villages, some were small towns, which logically had no value in occupying them, but there were many troops from the Heavenly Dao Army guarding them.

If you investigate again, you will find that wars have broken out in or near those places, and there are quite a few times.
