Chapter 719 Snow Mountain Ancestor
Chapter 719 Snow Mountain Ancestor
“Fellow Daoist Long Yang, the battle ahead is intense, why aren’t you here? What are you doing?”
At noon, Master Xueling flew to Xiaoyu, looking quite anxious and confused.
“I am watching the battlefield below!”
Xiao Yu also let a bit of worry grow between his brows, “Fellow Daoist Xue Ling, the situation here is not good!”
The strategy of Donghu withdrawing from the interior was definitely correct.
If they hadn’t been thinking about Xiu Ge at Yanmen Pass, they would have withdrawn long ago.
But after a long confrontation, the party that suddenly retreats will definitely be at a psychological disadvantage.
Xiaoyu could clearly see that the overall formation of the Donghu was impetuous and panicky.
This is a defeat.
Ke Bi was able to send some of his elite cavalry ahead and move the baggage train to Juyong Pass, which resulted in a shortage of troops on the local battlefield outside the city of Dai, and the Qin army outnumbered them, leading to their second defeat.
Kebi Neng was also considered a first-rate commander. He led 300,000 Donghu cavalrymen and, while retreating to the north, he was also commanding the battle on the southern front, and had to guard against enemy sneak attacks from the flank. Even with Xiaoyu’s Kunpeng wisdom, his CPU was overheating and the computing power was not enough, but Kebi Neng and several commanders of ten thousand cavalrymen were able to coordinate the Donghu battlefield into good order.
Xiao Yu admired them a little, but they were far inferior to Qin generals such as Li Xin in Daiyi City.
The Donghu were only highly skilled in technology, but Li Xin had already turned the command of troops into an art, even to the point of Taoism.
The commander is inferior to his opponent, this is the third defeat.
In the purely material world of Xiaoyu’s previous life, Donghu’s disastrous defeat was already inevitable at this point.
But there are immortals in Pangu’s world.
Immortal magic is the primary productive force!
However, the battle of Yanmen Pass was over, and all the immortals in Yanmen Pass fled to Juyong Pass.
Xiaoyu saw more than a dozen familiar figures on the opposite front line of Daiyi City.
Perhaps before the end of the Battle of Yanmen Pass, the soldiers in Daiyi City were newly recruited farmers, and the immortals were only half as good as those in Donghu. Their overall strength was not as good as that of Donghu, so they were blocked in the city and dared not come out to fight a decisive battle with Donghu.
Now that the Qin army had the help of the immortals from Yanmen Pass, the Donghu immediately fell into a disadvantage in the high-end immortal battle.
It was also thanks to the “conservative” Shenzhou immortals that they only fought when the Donghu immortals went to war, and rarely besieged them. Otherwise, the Donghu’s front line would have collapsed long ago.
The quality and quantity of immortals are inferior to those of the opponent. This is the fourth defeat.
The Donghu wanted to retreat, and Meng Yi’s troops were about to block their retreat. They were at a disadvantage in both strategy and tactics, and it was their fifth defeat.
Xiaoyu did not even consider the traitor “Longyang Daojun” as the sixth defeat.
No need.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Donghu will suffer a crushing defeat.
“Since fellow Daoist has seen through it, why are you still hiding here to get some fresh air instead of going down to help in the battle?” Master Xueling spoke directly out what was in his mind.
“Fellow Daoist received the order from the Great Chanyu to guard Juyong Pass, and I also received a mission to guard the rear area to prevent the shameless maid of Feiyu Fairy from jumping out to cause trouble.
Don’t think that I am floating high in the sky and feeling the wind.
In fact, I am keeping my eyes and ears open. If there is any abnormality in the military camp, I will strike with thunder. “
Xiao Yu spoke confidently, his magic eyes flashing with strange light, scanning the inner camp of the Donghu below.
After hearing her say this and seeing that the inner camp of Donghu was just messy but without any major disturbance, Master Xueling believed it and understood the important role of Taoist Longyang: Now that Fairy Feiyu is hiding in the Donghu camp, there must be a Donghu immortal guarding the inner camp and having the awareness and ability to fight Fairy Feiyu at any time.
This is the most dangerous mission!
Master Xueling no longer had any resentment towards the other party for just watching the show and not helping.
“Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoist.”
“Fortunately, fortunately, Fairy Feiyu is sensible and has not jumped out to cause trouble when she saw me flying around in the sky.”
Xiao Yu said this proudly, and then asked curiously: “Didn’t Daoyou lead people to guard the northern pass? Why are you back?”
Guarding Juyongguan is a truly leisurely job.
At this moment, Meng Yi had not arrived yet, and the Qin army in Daiyi City was blocked by the Donghu army camp, so Juyongguan was almost in no danger of being lost.
“Scouters from Meng Yi’s army were spotted outside Juyong Pass. I sent people to investigate in the west. Guess what happened?”
Master Xueling’s face was even more worried, “Meng Yi did not support Daiyi City from the Great Qin Road in the interior.
He left Yanmen Pass and took the old highway on the grassland, trying to block our retreat and was like a traitor to our country, using 300,000 people to block the gate and beat the dog!
At this time, the vanguard of the Meng family army was less than 300 miles away from Juyong Pass.
They are marching in formation at a very fast pace, and they may encounter us tomorrow morning.”
If there had not been heavy snow covering the grassland, in early autumn, the journey of more than 300 miles could have been easily completed in two hours with a rapid march by the army.
The road is now blocked by heavy snow. Even without Master Xue Ling summoning wind and snow, the snow is still ankle-deep.
The cavalry troops that made up the army were fine, but the baggage and supplies were greatly affected.
Xiao Yu’s expression suddenly changed, and he said in shock: “Meng Yi is actually trying to block our retreat. We can’t win the frontal battle. If we are attacked from both sides, won’t our entire army be wiped out?”
After she finished speaking, her expression became uncertain, with a strange look flashing in her eyes.
In front of Master Xueling, he secretly glanced around with the corner of his eye.
——Oh no, this old devil was scared and he wants to run away!
This won’t do. We need people now to deal with the Shenzhou immortals in Daiyi City!
This old demon seems to be wandering in the sky, but in fact he is greatly restraining Feiyu Fairy.
If he runs away, who will deal with Feiyu Fairy?
Fei Longzi met her, but he couldn’t hold out against her at all. Although Lei Fa can restrain zombies, before really fighting with Fei Yu Fairy, who can be sure that he will not be restrained by her?
This old demon is suspected to be a dragon, with strong demonic aura, thick skin and flesh, which is just right for dealing with Feiyu Fairy.
We must let him see the hope of a big victory.
“Hahaha, fellow Daoist, you underestimate our Donghu Immortal Friend too much.” Master Xueling laughed heartily, attracting Xiaoyu’s suspicious gaze, and continued: “We have long been prepared for Meng Yi to lead his army to chase us from Yanmen Pass, how could we not have prepared a way to deal with him?
I came back from Juyong Pass to discuss the big plan with the Great Chanyu, and to start the “Dragon Slaying Plan” ahead of time.”
“Slay the dragon?” Xiao Yu looked a little uncomfortable and a little angry.
Master Xueling was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: “It is not about killing the real dragon. Meng Yi is known as the ‘Dragon General of the Northern Frontier of the Empire’, and the Dragon Slaying Plan is a plan to kill Meng Yi.”
“Longyang Daoist Lord” then relaxed his expression and said, “Since Daoist friend has the means to kill Meng Yi, why don’t you use it directly in Daiyi City?
Although I am not familiar with the art of war, I can see that old man Li Xin is a master at using troops, almost like a Taoist.
Wouldn’t it be better to kill him as soon as possible and go directly to Daiyi City to spend the winter?”
Master Xueling hesitated for a moment and said, “The key to the dragon-slaying plan is a person, the ‘Xueshan Patriarch’ of the Guangming Temple in Changbai Mountain, who is also the teacher of this poor Taoist and Longxiang.
The ancestor has been enlightened for thousands of years and has a profound level of Taoism. He has also cultivated several extremely powerful magical powers. He can definitely kill Meng Yi.
But it needs to be used on the battlefield, when fighting against generals, and it is most effective only when used for the first time.
Li Xin never fights with others, and it is not worth it for others to waste this precious opportunity.”
He has decided to ask the ancestor to come out of seclusion. The ancestor will soon arrive at the Donghu military camp, and there is no need to hide it from this old demon.
“Is the Snow Mountain Ancestor in the camp? Alas, you and I address each other as fellow Taoist. Your ancestor is also my ‘ancestor’. I have never gone to pay a visit to him. It is so rude.” Xiao Yu complained and became more alert.
When discussing the evacuation plan in the king’s tent last night, she already knew that Master Xueling’s ability to summon wind and snow and pile up snow to build tunnels was far from the only trump card the Donghu people had.
They themselves said that there were other tactical arrangements.
Now that she heard that there was a Snow Mountain Ancestor hiding, she was not surprised.
But the Snow Mountain Patriarch was able to kill Meng Yi. The more Master Xue Ling said “the effect is best the first time”, the more it shows that the Snow Mountain Patriarch’s magical powers are really powerful.
The flaw is so huge. If it wasn’t extremely powerful, how could the Donghu people regard it as a fatal trump card?
“The ancestor is not in the camp, so the Great Khan must open an altar to offer sacrifices to the heavens and invite the ancestor to come. I returned to the camp in person to prepare and set up the altar.” Master Xueling said.
Xiao Yu said: “Since we are going to kill Meng Yi, if there are other preparations, we should also attack them at the same time, right? Is there anything I need to do?”
Master Xueling hesitated.
The ancestor is coming, and the old devil cannot hide it, but he dare not make decisions on his own about other matters!
Xiao Yu showed an unhappy look and said calmly: “Fellow Daoist, please go find the Great Chanyu. I still have to continue patrolling the camp.”
Master Xue Ling moved his lips a few times, sighed, and flew towards the edge of the battlefield below.
Xiaoyu flew over the Donghu military camp for a while, and his figure gradually disappeared.
A moment later, Xiaoyu met Changqing Sanren in a tower in the southwest of Daiyi City, just like last night.
The tower is seven or eight stories high, with the top three floors being the core area. There are a total of forty-eight crossbows placed on it. When it is fully configured, even the most powerful human immortals dare not confront it head-on.
The floors inside the city wall are resting areas for soldiers, and the bottom floor is the material storage area.
Xiaoyu and Changqing Sanren are located on an even lower level, which is considered the “negative level”.
This floor is not open to ordinary soldiers, and is mainly used for Qi Refiners to set up formations.
Changqing Sanren is not specifically her contact person.
He originally replaced a certain immortal master from Daiyi City and guarded a “formation center”.
Under normal circumstances, the city defense formation will not be activated.
However, if the Donghu immortal master on the opposite side is not afraid of heaven’s punishment and does not care about “immortal virtue”, and wants to imitate the ancient immortals in the period of Conferred Gods, and create the technique of “moving mountains and seas” to move water from the East China Sea or the North Sea to flood the entire Daiyi City, the formation will be immediately activated.
The city defense formation can be used but it cannot be absent.
In fact, this formation has been activated three times in the past few months.
The “Snow Mountain Ancestor” Changqing Sanren thought for a long time, and still shook his head and said: “Changbai Mountain Guangming Temple is not a long-standing sect. It seems that it was established by a wandering immortal two thousand years ago.
The time was too short, and his reputation hadn’t spread, let alone his sect’s unique skills.”
Xiaoyu was speechless. Their sect had been established for two thousand years, so was the time still too short?
Even though you immortals are very old, it doesn’t mean that your reaction time has to be long too!
“Master Xue Ling is a true immortal. The energy of the Dragon Elephant Buddha Yuandan is impure, so he has not become an immortal, but he is also a top-level Qi-refining cultivator.
Even if their teacher was unknown before, it’s time for him to get your attention now! “
Changqing Sanren said: “I have been in the Great Wall for less than a year, and I am not very familiar with the northern cultivator circle. I will ask Lu Lingzi and Qingyang Zhenren later.”
After a pause, he continued, “I don’t think I can get anything out of him. Even if I know who Snow Mountain Patriarch is, I don’t know his magical powers.
If we could find out about his magical power, why would the Donghu people use it as a trump card? And they said it only works the first time?”
Xiao Yu pondered and said, “Please inform General Meng and I will deal with the situation accordingly.”
Chang Qing Sanren said: “If the Donghu people are targeting General Meng Yi himself, the fairy doesn’t need to worry too much.”
Xiao Yu was surprised and asked, “General Meng is the commander of an army. If he is harmed by someone, at least the strategy of containing the Donghu will be ruined. Don’t you think it’s a big deal?”
Chang Qing San Ren said with a smile: “It’s not that General Meng is not important, but General Meng is cautious and intelligent, and will not show off his personal courage.
Moreover, he has a divine weapon to protect him, which makes him invulnerable to almost anything. We don’t need to worry about him.”
“What kind of magic weapon is this? It can ward off evil spirits. Is it reliable?” Xiao Yu was both curious and skeptical.
Chang Qing Sanren said, “That day, General Meng fought against the Black Wolf Army and was attacked by Zhang Yuan with the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword. Fairy, do you think General Meng was stabbed?”
Xiao Yu said: “I clearly saw him get stabbed at that time, but later when I saw him faking an injury, I thought he had taken the antidote in advance, isn’t that right?”
Chang Qing San Ren said: “General Meng has a body-protecting artifact called the ‘Sun and Moon Mirror’, which has the power to control time and even travel through time and space.”
