Shennong Daojun

"General Pang, please get up quickly." Zhao Xing jumped up and helped Pang Guangyao up. "I need the help of the general, but I still have a million troops."

Pang Guangyao felt warm in his heart when he heard this.

As expected, he is worthy of being the heir apparent of a big family, and he speaks nicely.

Unlike those princes in the royal court, all of them are extremely arrogant and look at people with their noses.

"I will be ashamed of myself. I cannot deserve the prince's false praise." Pang Guangyao cupped his hands and said, "I am just a patrol envoy and do not hold an important position."

"Your Majesty sent someone to deliver a letter earlier. I was afraid that I would not be able to help you and would ruin your important affairs. Therefore, I have not replied to your letter for a long time. I hope you will forgive me."

Zhao Xing didn't know what Xia Jing said to Pang Guangyao, but he still knew how to draw a picture: "I have wronged the general."

"A powerful sixth-grade man was actually sent here to suffer. The royal court is simply blind!"

"But now that General Pang has joined me as a member of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he is a member of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The previous sufferings and grievances will be a thing of the past!"

"I, Xia Jing, swear by the honor of my family that I will fulfill all my previous promises after taking Xiongguan!"

"The injustice the general suffered in the royal court will never happen again in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"After the Fire Demon Clan's territory is conquered, the general can even be allowed to return to his hometown to serve. He will never let the general be wronged in the slightest!"

"If I break this oath, I, Xia Jing, will be a son of man in vain!"

Pang Guangyao was also used to being suppressed by the royal court. Now that he had surrendered, he was deeply moved when he heard such a promise from a powerful prince.

How much do you value Pang Guangyao when you swear by your family's honor? !

Immediately he knelt down again with a pop.

"Pang Guangyao, I am willing to work hard for the Crown Prince!"

Now that the pie is painted, something more practical needs to be done.

Zhao Xing gave Long Xiao and Chen Shijie a wink: "General Pang, you will first act as a partial general in this mixed vanguard camp and follow this brave captain under my command. When the Fire Dragon Pass is passed, I will report again." The military community officially commends you."

"General, I will obey the order." Pang Guangyao immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order. He also knew that he came to worship on an impromptu basis this time.

It is definitely impossible for ‘Xia Jing’ to prepare any documents, appointments, etc.

Taking another look at the configuration next to 'Xia Jing', it turned out that he was indeed the Little Marquis of Great Zhou, accompanied by a seventh-grade sword cultivator, a sixth-grade army sergeant, and a battle pet with a powerful alien beast.

For a person like him who came in temporarily, it was already considered good to be a partial general. The rest of the matter would have to be accomplished first.

In Zhiyou City, there is the Dongmen Military Camp where the Xuanjia Army is stationed.

"Ah sneeze~"

Xia Jing rubbed his nose and put down the military book in his hand a little strangely.

"I have perfected my practice, why do I suddenly sneeze?"

"Yuan Yang, Yuan Yang!"

Yuan Yang, the military doctor, belonged to the Xuanjia Army. There were also many geniuses from Shiyang Cave around Xia Jing, and Yuan Yang was one of them.

"General, what's going on?" After a while, Yuan Yang replied outside the camp. Since Xia Jing conquered the hearts of all the Xuanjia Army battalions, Yuan Yang also changed his name to General Xia Jing in formal occasions.

"Come in quickly and let me see if there is anything wrong with my body. The war is coming, but there can't be any hidden dangers." Xia Jing said.

"Yes." Yuan Yang then pushed open the tent and entered inside.

After coming in, he asked Xia Jing to take off his armor. After careful inspection, Yuan Yang fell into thinking.

"how?"

"There is no problem. Your Five Elements Qi is still balanced, but the Kidney Fire is a little stronger." Yuan Yang shook his head, "Your feeling is probably caused by the tension before the battle."

Xia Jing felt relieved after hearing this: "That's good."

It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous at all when I play the Fire Dragon Pass.

Although Zhao Xing prepared the fire-preventing robe to cross the mountain, and he had spies as internal agents, the Fire Dragon Pass had never been breached before, and its reputation lay here.

Xia Jing brought several battalions to the east and separated from the main force of the Xuanjia Army in the north. This was also a risky approach.

Following the main force in the north, not to mention smooth sailing, at least there won't be a big defeat.

But here, you might lose the battle.

Yuan Yang told Xia Jing to rest more and left the camp.

Xia Jing couldn't sleep anyway.

"Tomorrow we will climb over the Flame Mountain, and the day after tomorrow we will start attacking the city. I don't know how many people Ye Chongxian has persuaded to join us."

On September 14th, the three armies, Xuanjia Army, Shenwei Army, and Zhenhai Army, gathered in the marching hall to discuss matters, mainly to allocate combat tasks.

Huolong Pass stretches for thirty miles, which is enough for the army to set up their formation.

On the Shenwei Army side, there are mainly two troops: Wen Shaoyang and Liao Rulong, with a total of more than 70,000 people.

The Xuanjia Army only had more than 15,000 people led by Xia Jing.

More than 30,000 people led by Zhenhai Jiang Ming.

There are also fifteen armies, large and small, but these armies are relatively small in number. Some have only four or five thousand, and some have only two or three thousand. Most of the leaders are only seventh grade. Coming to the east is purely among the original armies. I couldn't get the front order of battle, so I wanted to try my luck here.

The Shenwei Army wanted to break through the Fire Dragon Pass, and joined forces with the Shenlei Army in the west to attack the Qinggang Mining Area, and followed others to get a piece of meat.

These fifteen partial armies totaled 40,000 to 50,000 people. With the same idea, they just wanted to follow the recent rise of the Shenwei Army to have a drink.

Among the three main armies, there is a special battalion under Wen Shaoyang, the 'Euphorbis Battalion'.

The special battalion under Liao Rulong is the Five Elements Battalion. As for Shenji Camp and Jiujie Camp, these are conventional configurations and everyone has them.

However, since the addition of Zhao Xing, the Jiujie Camp where Chen Shijie was originally present has also become a feature of Liao Rulong's department.

Xia Jing has a 2,000-man Xuanjia Dragon Riders under his command, because the Xuanjia Army has three exotic beast breeding bases, one of which is on Yalong Island in Pinghai Prefecture.

This place has nurtured some hybrid dragon species, and the mounts of the Tiger Dragon Army are also produced on Yalong Island.

The two strongest armies in Shiyang Cave Heaven have both won top places in the military world army grand military performance and occupied a place on Yalong Island.

Being able to ride a dragon rider is the foundation of a strong army.

So although Xia Jing only brought more than 15,000 people, he also had the assistance of the sixth-rank Si Nong and priests, and 2,000 dragon blood exotic beasts, so it can be said that his strength is the strongest.

The Liao Rulong and Wen Shaoyang troops of the Shenwei Army can suppress him.

Jiang Ming of the Zhenhai Army is characterized by warships.

The warships of the Great Zhou usually refer to air warships, and the number is generally small.

Only the fifth-level can be called a warship, and flying boats are all below the fifth level.

The size of the warships means the size of the ‘Shenjiying’, because the carrying capacity of siege equipment depends on the number of warships.

Lan Hongming, the Marquis of Zhenhai, took great pains to get the two armies of the Zhenhai Army ashore.

Li Que’s army was mediocre.

But Jiang Ming brought a whole warship battalion!

Because he immediately increased the stakes after knowing that Zhao Xing had made the Earth Fire Lotus as a fire-proof robe.

A lot of warships and flying boats were transferred to Jiang Ming!

There were 120 fifth-level warships alone!

There were more than 5,000 flying boats!

Only the Zhenhai Army could call the warships a ‘camp’, and the warships and flying boats of the Xuanjia Army and the Shenwei Army combined were not as many as the Zhenhai Army.

In addition, the warships of other armies were used for flying in the air.

But because Jiang Ming shouldered Lan Hongming’s expectations of meritorious service, one-third of the warships he transferred were dual-purpose for water and air.

There were even three peculiar fifth-level top-quality warships, named ‘Five Elements Warships’!

Not only can it be used in both water and air, the warship can even travel underground.

The three five-element warships are equipped with many flying boats, including land flying boats and escaping flying boats.

Zhao Xing agreed to cooperate at the beginning, and Lan Hou did not disappoint him. In terms of warships, the Zhenhai Army gave great support.

After the warships were mobilized, Jiang Ming straightened his back, walked with a breeze, and spoke loudly:

"Captain Liao, half of our warships can be allocated to the brothers of the Shenwei Army and the Xuanjia Army!"

"The Shenji Battalion of our Zhenhai Army can control the Five Elements warships to escape underground and break the underground defense of the Fire Dragon Pass."

"The underground aliens north and south of the pass can also be handed over to our Zhenhai Army to attack!"

"We have nothing else but a lot of ships!"

"According to the intelligence, our army can at least paralyze the underground defense mechanisms and magic arrays of the 20-mile north and south sections of the Fire Dragon Pass for more than three hours!"

Jiang Ming said loudly: "Brothers on the ground, don't worry about falling into the pit during the fight, or being ambushed by the Fire Demon Clan's mechanism."

"Okay, okay." Liao Rulong smiled and bowed, "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Jiang."

"With the help of Captain Jiang's warship battalion, we will definitely be able to take this pass!" Xia Jing also boasted.

Things change, and Jiang Ming has now been promoted to Jiang Duwei, not "that guy".

There is no way, the Zhenhai Army has only two detachments on the shore, unlike the Shenwei Army and the Xuanjia Army, Xia Jing, Wen Shaoyang, and Liao Rulong's troops are only a part of it.

The Shenwei Army and the Xuanjia Army are not only fighting the Fire Demon Clan territory of the Jinyu Royal Court, but also in other war zones, facing the Holy Spirit Royal Court, the Purple Dragon Royal Court, and the Yanguan Royal Court.

Jiang Ming's troops are the only seedling of the Zhenhai Army on the shore. Whether he can make merit depends on him. The resources mobilized by Lan Hongming are all bets on his army.

"Tonight, our three armies will unite and send a total of 18,000 people to cross the Flame Mountain."

"Seize the four castles in the south and north of the Fire Dragon Pass respectively, with the goal of destroying the defense formation."

"As long as one place is broken, the army outside can attack!" Liao Rulong said, "In order to create conditions for the troops lurking in, the three armies will attack at the time of Xu tomorrow!"

"The thunder in the Gangfeng layer is the signal!"

Starting at noon on September 14, a total of 15,000 people crossed the Flame Mountain. Because Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie had already led 3,000 people in one day in advance, the actual number was 18,000.

Xia Jing led a team of 4,000 people to cross the Flame Mountain from the place called [Guanshanbei].

As for the command of the Xuanjia Army, it was temporarily handed over to the deputy general Jin Ming.

In the Shenwei Army, Liao Rulong sent Yu Ziqi as the camp commander to lead 5,000 people to cross the Flame Mountain from [Guanshannan].

Wen Shaoyang's army sent Fei Liangxun to lead 6,000 people to cross from the end of the Fire Pass.

As for the people of the Zhenhai Army, they did not participate in the sneak attack, but joined the main force of the frontal attack outside the pass.

Time goes back to the morning of September 14th.

With Pang Guangyao as the leader, Zhao Xing, Chen Shijie, Long Xiao, Gao Jue, Xu Quan, Zhang Ying and others, with 3,000 people, have crossed the Fire Dragon Mountains and quietly arrived inside the pass.

Using the high-level Five Elements Mist Hidden spell as the cover for the 3,000-man army, they quietly left the patrol area of ​​the Fire Mountains and came to a dense forest outside the pass.

"Prince, the 'Yuanyue City Pass' of the Fire Dragon Pass is ahead." Pang Guangyao said: "It is one of the formation bases of the Fire Dragon Pass."

"There are 21 cities of various sizes within a radius of 20 miles, but the others are just defense forts. Only the Yuanyue City is built on the fire vein and is one of the main formation bases of the Fire Dragon Pass's defense formation."

"It's destroyed. All the defense arrays 20 miles south of Fire Dragon Pass will be paralyzed. Even if there are backup arrays in operation, the power will be reduced by more than 60%. Many alien races under the ground will even be suffocated."

"Even if it is repaired, it will take at least four hours."

"And the reconstruction of Yuanyue City will take more than four hours. According to the efficiency of the Fire Demon Clan, it will take three or four months." Pang Guangyao said with a little sarcasm.

Zhao Xing certainly knows the importance of Yuanyue City.

Yuanyue City is a mechanical city!

Why is Fire Dragon Pass the dominant pass?

Other array bases, such as the Shuiche Qingyuan array he asked Wang Ji to build in Yuncheng, have only eighty-one array bases.

Each array base weighs about a hundred tons and can be transported by a flying boat. The Dragon Gate Triple Crane can easily lift it up and put it in the river and it can also be lifted up.

But the array base of Fire Dragon Pass, the smallest one is a castle covering an area of ​​400 to 500 acres.

It can be inhabited and is also a array.

Like Yuanyue City, it covers an area of ​​100,000 acres!

There are 49 such cities in Huolong Pass.

With cities and castles as formations, they continuously draw the power of fire veins and provide it to the magic formation in front of Huolong Pass.

It is impossible to take it down. It is impossible to pass a fifth-level "Fire Dragon Formation".

Just think about the scene when they crossed the Flame Mountain. Even if they were well prepared, they would still be burned to death by the strange ground fire that was accidentally sprayed out.

In Huolong Pass, these ground fires are controllable, and can even form dragon-shaped flames to control and attack the enemy.

The barbarians guarding Huolong Pass are only about 30,000 to 40,000 combatants, but these 30,000 to 40,000 people guard it. As long as there is no problem inside, in the war of the highest sixth rank, even if millions of people come, it will be useless.

"The lord of Yuanyue City is named 'Badas'. He is Yue Haisheng's nephew." Pang Guangyao continued to introduce, "It's just the early stage of Tiangang."

"No other sixth rank?" Chen Shijie asked.

"No more." Pang Guangyao shook his head. "There are two or three hundred people who are perfect in the Earthly Fiends, all of them are Basda's guards."

"This configuration sounds a bit unreasonable." Long Xiao said, "How can he be the only sixth-rank person in such an important city?"

"Because he is Yue Haisheng's nephew, if there is another sixth-rank person, the benefits will not be enough for his nephew to share." Pang Guangyao mocked, "The Earth Fire Lotus in the Lava Cave, the Flame Crystal in the Guanshan Mining Area, and the Natural Materials and Treasures in the Yuanyue Forest Area, which one is not a treasure land? Once you get it, you will leave it!"

Chen Shijie shook his head when he heard it. Pang Guangyao, who is a strong Tiangang Realm, can only be sent here as a mountain patrol. But Basda, who is in the early stage of Tiangang, guards Yuanyue City.

With such people, no matter how strong the pass is, it will be broken sooner or later.

"It doesn't matter whether it's Basda or the others." Zhao Xing said with a smile, "If Huolongguan can't stop them, a hundred Basda will have the same effect."

"General Pang, do you have any feelings for this Basda?"

Pang Guangyao shook his head: "He and his uncle have humiliated me many times, I want to eat... chop him."

Zhao Xing said: "After the city is broken, he will be handed over to you to deal with, but you are now my general of the Great Zhou, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." Pang Guangyao nodded, he didn't really want to eat people.

"How long will it take to change clothes?" Zhao Xing asked Lao Chen again.

After passing the Flame Mountain, they naturally can't wear the fire-proof robes to fight. The function of the robes is mainly to ward off fire. In other aspects, they are average and can't withstand a few cuts from the fourth-level divine weapons.

The fire-proof robes are made one size larger, mainly for the armor inside, and some baggage is still brought by them.

For example, Si Nong's bamboo box and a few siege weapons were disassembled into parts and placed in vehicles made of earth fire lotus.

"It was replaced long ago." Chen Shijie said, "Now the soldiers are resting."

"How long do we have?" Long Xiao asked.

Zhao Xing took out the almanac and looked at it: "It's not even Mao time yet, and there are still two and a half days before the agreed time to capture the pass."

Liao Rulong is a very cunning man. He asked the 3,000 Shenwei Army to come first, so that there is enough time to prepare.

Zhao Xing and his team have come, but Xia Jing and his team haven't set out yet.

It will take a few more hours for Xia Jing and Wen Shaoyang's troops to cross the Huoyan Mountain.

It will be tomorrow when they come.

The army will start to send signals outside the pass on the night of the day after tomorrow.

So Zhao Xing's team has enough time to prepare.

If everything goes well, after taking Yuanyue City, they can still free up their hands to fight other places.

Do more things, and you will have more military merits.

"Let the two teams of Si Nong take turns to plant the land. Remember, don't make too much noise." Chen Shijie ordered.

Although there was interference from Wu Yin, he still asked the military Si Nong in the Vanguard Camp to harvest some seeds just in case.

Freeing up time, first, to let the soldiers rest more fully, and second, to prepare for the Si Nong.

What to prepare? Materials for siege equipment can be planted, food can be planted, and even weapon materials can be planted. There are too many things.

They are stuck between Yuanyue City and the Flame Mountain Range. The environment is not too harsh, and at least some food with fire attributes can be planted.

Zhao Xing also started planting, of course. He knows the advanced methods of the Benwo Sect. At this time, he, the military Si Nong, is the main auxiliary source of the 3,000 people in the Vanguard Camp. Whether it is food or tools, the high-end materials are mainly provided by him.

The earth fire is strong, and the most suitable thing to plant is of course firecrackers.

Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie each carried a box, peeled off the lotus leaves on the outside of the box, and took out the firecracker seedlings from it.

"How many are still alive?" Chen Shijie asked.

"I still have 50% alive here."

"The same is true in my box." Chen Shijie said, "Five-level firecracker seedlings, carried through the Flame Mountain, 50% survival is not bad."

Dozens of people died, let alone seedlings.

But more than half are still alive, which is very good.

There are many benefits to planting five-level firecrackers.

Lao Chen can escape, Zhao Xing can also escape, and among the three thousand people, there are many sorcerers from the Five Elements Camp.

There are at least one hundred people who can escape.

Yuanyue City is not outside the pass, the Fire Demon Clan also has to go in and out, and there are people living in it.

Naturally, it is impossible to be like outside the pass, where there are people guarding dozens of miles underground, and there are lethal magic arrays and mechanisms.

The interior of the pass is always fragile, and it will be very easy to sneak in.

As long as there are enough firecrackers, bury some in Yuanyue City, and you don't need to do anything. The firecrackers alone are enough to make Basda fly to the sky.

"Let's get started!"

Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie each led a team of Si Nong and began to plant fifth-level firecrackers in the forest.

Since the firecrackers are already fifth-level.

So there is no need to cast the instant primordial.

Instead, spells such as the wasteland condensation method and the wild growth are more suitable for cultivation.

The time method is forbidden to use, because Zhao Xing has already cast the five elements fog hiding to hide this area in the forest. If other Si Nong cast the time method, they may be discovered.

The geographical method can be used, and both the Dizang Guiyuan and the Digong method are used, one to gather the vitality, and the other to regulate the intensity of the fire vein.

"Chi Chi Chi ~"

The firecrackers grew at an astonishing speed, and soon a bamboo forest grew out.

Waiting to enter the growth period.

Zhao Xing immediately cast two other spells.

"Bai Li Xi Yuan Shu!"

Compared with the Momentary Original, the intermediate Bai Li Xi Yuan Shu only makes the firecrackers grow better, but it will not break the original rank.

"Nine Dragons Folding Technique!"

Then Zhao Xing cast the Self spell again.

The branches of the firecrackers quickly fell off, and the four sections at the top of all the firecrackers withered and cracked.

The nutrients flowed back and poured into the bamboo sections below.

The fiery red bamboo forest suddenly became bare.

"Have you learned all the four small methods of the Self Sect?" Chen Shijie watched from a distance. He was still waiting for the time to mature, but Zhao Xing had already matured a batch.

"Well, if you want to learn, just learn a bunch of them. The spells of the Self Sect are complementary to each other." Zhao Xing said casually.

"..."Chen Shijie didn't know what to say.

Who doesn't know that they are complementary to each other?

The problem is that you have to have the energy and talent to learn them!

He saw that Zhao Xing's book of the four methods of my sect was all perfect at the middle level.

In addition, there was a high-level method, the original instant method.

"What kind of monster did I bring out from Gucheng?" Chen Shijie even suspected that Gucheng had been turned into a blessed land by Caoxi.

Pang Guangyao was also very confused. Wasn't it said that the prince was a warrior? How could he farm?

Farming, shouldn't this be the job of the Minister of Agriculture of the Great Zhou? Only sorcerers in the Nanman would do this kind of work!

Is this person the prince Xia Jing?

Pang Guangyao vaguely felt that he had boarded the wrong car.

He worshipped the wrong person.

However, at this time, he was next to Long Xiao and Shanmao, and even if he had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to ask more.

He had already killed a patrolman and was completely on the pirate ship of the Great Zhou. At this time, even if he wanted to get off the ship, it was impossible.

He had to wait until the Fire Dragon Pass was taken down.

Time passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it was two days later.

Today is the day agreed upon for the three armies to attack the city and break through the pass.

"Is it about time?" Chen Shijie stood on the top of a big tree, looking at the strong wind layer from afar. "It's still one hour away from the hour of Xu, but it's almost time. We are in the southern section of the pass. Calculating the time, the fighting outside should have started."

"I think so too." Zhao Xing bared his big white teeth: "In that case, we are ready to blow up the city! Send Basda to heaven!"

There is one more update!
