The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

Chen Subaru intervened in the battle in time, and the balance of victory had already tilted.

Under his guidance, the puppets who originally led Chen Jiao's team into the trap were defeated one after another, and the remaining few puppets hurriedly retreated to the rear camp construction site.

After hearing that the puppets failed to seduce the soldiers and horses of the army, the scouts and guards quickly gathered their troops and prepared to start a head-on contest with Chen Jiao. However, as the two armies faced each other, the charge of the scout guards was defeated by Chen Subaru's superb sword formation.

Chen Subaru and Chen Jiao joined hands and led the entire army to attack fiercely. The defensive line of the scout guard was easily torn apart like paper. The cavalry hidden in the rear took the opportunity to make a surprise attack, and the front line collapsed instantly. The scout escorts whose defense line was breached were disheartened and could no longer muster the will to resist. In order to escape for their lives, the panicked guards even chopped down their comrades in the rear who had not yet figured out the situation. Even the survivors cannot escape the fate of being trampled to death by more fleeing soldiers.

Witnessing this scene of cannibalism, everyone knew exactly what was going on. There is no real general in charge of the ten scout strongholds, and there is only a cooperative relationship between them. The puppet general relied on the advice of his staff and sent as many scouts in the direction of Gaoping County as there were troops in the military town. They have figured out the deployment of troops in the military town, and the existing tactics are sufficient to deal with it. When building an advance camp, there is no need to deploy a general to lead the army.

Chen Jiao's army completely destroyed the combined army of these ten scout strongholds at the cost of more than 300 casualties. After the inventory of the battlefield was completed, all the soldiers in the military town took a breath of cold air.

In the ten scout strongholds, it is estimated that there are more than 50 people in the Core Formation Realm, more than 600 people in the Condensation Realm guards and people, and the remaining 800 or so guards are all Qi Gathering Realm monks, totaling 1,500 Multiple people.

In comparison, Chen Jiao's soldiers and horses, even though the number of mortals had been reduced before, still had more than 300 mortal soldiers. Among the monks, there are 300 in the psychic realm, 300 in the Qi gathering realm, and less than 200 in the concentration realm. Including Chen Jiao and Lin Hu, there are nine monks in the Dan Formation Realm.

After a battle, Chen Subaru eliminated forty-two Dan Jie realm puppets through assassination and sword formation. Seven of the remaining puppets were killed by Chen Jiao, Lin Hu and other monks, and only one of the pill-forming realm escaped. The scout army lost 140 people in the scout battle, and the confrontation between the two armies left more than 900 corpses. Very few of the defeated troops were able to escape alive and return to the puppet army.

Such a result sent shivers down the spines of the belated soldiers of the army. Without the secret assistance of powerful monks like Chen Subaru, one can imagine their fate.

The main casualties in the military town were mortals and spiritual monks, while the backbone of the army suffered little damage. The scout army still had a lot of supplies used to build the camp. With the assistance of Chen Subaru, all the traps in the ten scout strongholds were successfully dismantled and many formation materials were recovered.

The corpses of our and enemy soldiers were burned and buried on the spot. The monks, led by Chen Subaru, set a trap in the unfinished camp that even the Yuanying realm monks could not detect. Subsequently, Chen Jiao commanded the entire army to return to the military town of Gaoping County with supplies.

After Chen Subaru explained some things to Chen Jiao, he returned to Puyang County alone.

After marching all night, Chen Jiao's team arrived at the military town of Gaoping County early the next morning. At this time, Li Zhong was arranging supplies outside the military town to expand the defense of the military town.

Chen Jiao asked Lin Hu to command the troops and horses to enter the military town first, while she went to see Li Zhong, reported to him the victory and results of the battle, and discussed with Li Zhong the matters Chen Subaru had confessed.

After Chen Jiao and Li Zhong saluted each other, they did not exchange too many greetings and said directly: "Li Hu, with this great victory, the military town can safely expand its defense for a period of time. However, do you know that the army of puppets was sent this time? How many scouts?"

Li Zhong pondered for a moment and replied: "According to the previous investigation in Linhu, there should be about 700 people in the seven strongholds. But considering the enemies that have not yet been detected, we estimate that the total number of enemy troops will be no less than a thousand. Plus the rear attack The total number of people transporting supplies probably exceeds a thousand. "

Chen Jiao looked at Li Zhong firmly: "I led the army to attack ten strongholds, and faced a team of 1,500 people, all of whom were at the Qi Gathering level or above. The team that attacked the transportation of supplies was not these scouts Stronghold belongs to.”

Although Li Zhong had guessed that the size of the enemy army might exceed his imagination, he still felt numb after hearing Chen Jiao's description. Perhaps he had a premonition of Chen Jiao's purpose for talking to him, so he avoided Chen Jiao's gaze and looked at the team that was transporting the seized materials back and remained silent.

Chen Jiao walked to Li Zhong, stood side by side with him, looked at the returning team, and continued: "Gaoping County is in urgent need of a large number of manpower for expansion and future defense repairs. You need to bear the most direct attack of the puppet army. The existing troops Obviously not enough. The young master has a new suggestion: the teams sent by each county to transport supplies only return a hundred Qi Gathering and Concentration Realm monks, and the rest will stay in Gaoping County to assist in the defense. Now that Gaoping leader has died in the battle, you still need to stay. Take charge of the overall situation.”

Li Zhong frowned and thought deeply for a moment, then spoke after a moment: "Gaoping County currently has more than 2,000 garrison troops. Lin Hu and I are not the chief generals here. We also need to take care of the soldiers in other military towns. As a result, there is really not enough manpower to control. Chen Liuhe Dongyan County is still short of manpower, with only a hundred monks returned, and Wen Ruo may be under too much pressure. "

Chen Jiao said calmly: "All four counties are under pressure. After Wen Ruo orders me to properly handle the affairs here, I will return to Puyang County immediately. Li Hu, please believe in yourself and Lin Hu's ability to protect the Gaoping County army." Town. The building materials captured during this expedition can be used to build a city wall and a defensive formation outside the military town. Thirty percent of the materials distributed by the Beifu Army to each military town can be left here. "

Li Zhong said no more and stared at the returning team, transporting all the carts carrying supplies back to the military town.

Chen Jiao has completed all the instructions and the team has returned to the military town. She needs to convey Chen Subaru's instructions and select the soldiers to return to various military towns.

Regarding communication with Chenliu and Dongyan counties, Chen Subaru immediately informed the two counties after returning. The purpose of the puppet army is to forcefully cross the no-man's land and enter the territory of Dajin. This route is their only choice. As long as Puyang and Gaoping counties can defend themselves against the attack of the puppet army, the military pressure on these two counties is actually not great. The guardians of the two counties naturally understand this truth. In addition, Chen Subaru deployed Lin Ping in these two counties, aiming to use their troops as a general reserve force. Once the military town of Gaoping County is in crisis and Chen Subaru is unable to mobilize troops from Puyang, he will definitely notify Lin Ping to mobilize troops from the two counties to rush for reinforcements.
