Eternal Life Begins with Bug-Refining - Chapter 248
Chapter 248 Against the Central Plains
In fact, Chen Qing doesn’t really like these lies, but it’s the Chinese New Year, so there must be something festive.
Chen Qing accepted everyone’s congratulations, and had a banquet, and everyone was happy.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Qing gathered the Undead Dragon Army and started marching towards the front line.
Compared to Ji Dang, the King Gu he got was Sumeru King Gu, a production-type Gu.
Ji Dang is different, Lord Xuelang’s King Gu must be an attacking type King Gu, and it looks somewhat similar to the [Iron Horse Glacier] in the Wang Dao Catalogue.
If Chen Qing’s guess is correct, then Ji Dang will also have a cavalry soon.
Chen Qing obviously wouldn’t give Ji Dang too much time, so he decided to go directly to the front line to put pressure on Ji Dang so that he couldn’t study the secrets of King Gu with peace of mind.
Arriving at the station of the Longxiang Army, after gathering all the Longxiang Army, Chen Qing set off again, heading towards the front line near the Naihe Bridge.
Chen Qing left Fengdu, Wushang and Xu Yaofeng on the front line quickly took action, trying to clear a piece of land in front of Naihe Bridge for Chen Qing.
Chen Qing thought over and over again, reached out and pointed in the middle of the city where Wushang and Xu Yaofeng were stationed, and drew a circle at a place not more than a hundred miles away from the carrier city of Dayi.
“Here, I want it.”
Walking along the way, I didn’t encounter any storms. The weather was calm and I came here. Beside the Baigu Changhe River, three hundred miles away from the Naihe Bridge, Chen Qing glanced around and found that the terrain here is flat.
“Let’s stay here first.”
Chen Qing gave the order to stop, and with a wave of his hand, the Sumeru King City fell to the ground.
A big city suddenly rose from the ground, standing between the sky and the earth.
Chen Qing came to the front line in person, and the generals from all sides also began to gather towards Chen Qing. We must not let Chen Qing’s subordinates be ignored.
Under Chen Qing’s mobilization, Xuan Cuo and Shen Changye each led an army of 800 people to join him.
In addition to the nearly thousand people he brought, the Longxiang Army, and the 1,200 disciples of Jianyou Palace who were hiding in the city of Sumeru.
The strength of Chen Qingzhong’s army is about to reach more than 4,600 people.
The newly-promoted Ghost Mianjing, who was going to deliver the dragon meat before, was also assigned by Chen Qing to Xu Yaofeng and Wushang, allowing them to maintain a strength of about 2,000 troops.
Xu Yaofeng’s army strength was indeed around 2,000 before he set off for the expedition. After ten years of fighting, it has also decreased.
But in addition to eliminating other forces, it does not need to consume too many troops, and it can recruit some of them.
In fact, Xu Yaofeng and Wushang’s troops did not suffer too much loss.
After ten years of fighting, those who died most were those small forces that entered the realm of death before Chen Qing and Ji Dang.
Arranging for the army to be stationed in Sumeru King City, Chen Qing immediately asked Qing Ran to spy on Chengyun City.
Three hours later, Qing Ran came back on a dragon horse, “Report to Wen Zong, at the top of Chengyun City, there is a big banner of Ji Dang!”
Chen Qing was slightly surprised, “How did he know that I came here?”
“Even if he got the news, he was not as fast as I was marching.”
Chen Qing immediately stepped onto the green bull, “Assemble the Dragon Army, and follow me to find out what is true!”
Running for a hundred miles, Chen Qing looked at the top of Chengyun City from a distance, and it really was Ji Dang’s banner.
Moreover, the entire big city was waving banners everywhere, and the banners of four famous generals were guarding Ji Dang’s banner.
But he didn’t see a living person, which seemed to be bluffing.
Chen Qing closed his eyes, felt the world, searched for all traces, and found traces of the army’s mobilization within a few days.
“It’s really here.”
“Deliberately bluffing to lure me to attack. Entering the city means being ambushed by him.”
“This is my trick against Feng Qiwu, how could I be fooled?”
Chen Qing yelled at the bottom of the city: “Ji Dang, I haven’t seen you for a few years, I miss you very much, would you like to see me?”
Chen Qing yelled three times, but found that no one came to answer.
He felt a rage in his heart, and shouted violently: “Ji Dang, if you don’t come to see me today, I will kill a thousand practitioners in this city, and I will do what I say!”
However, no one paid any attention to him, Chen Qing chuckled, “I’m a coward!”
After finishing speaking, Chen Qing turned and left, “Let’s go back to the city!”
Qing Ran said: “Wen Zong, it may not be an empty city plan!”
Chen Qing shook his head, “No, he must have arrived, I noticed the traces of the army’s mobilization.”
“It’s just a deliberate trick to lure me into the game.”
Backing back to Sumeru King City, Chen Qing came to the desolate King City. Today’s King City has no mountains and rivers to accommodate the human world, it’s just a barren area, with only some camps for marching.
Chen Qing went straight to Lu Kuang’s tent, walked into it and sat on the main seat, “Call Zitao and Senior Sister Yu.”
A moment later, the two came hand in hand, and Chen Qing asked: “Zi Tao, if all the disciples of Jianyou Palace perform the dragon-slaying technique in their dreams, how many enemies can they kill in one night?”
Zi Tao flicked Liuyun sleeves and sat down, “If Wen Zong is willing to let me wait for January to visualize, I have the confidence to kill a thousand enemies overnight!”
Chen Qing frowned slightly, “Visualization?”
Zi Tao said: “It’s very simple, Wen Zong just needs to sit here and let me wait for a month.”
“Wen Zong’s dharma body is where Taixu resides. If we can visualize Wen Zong’s dharma body, we will definitely improve our dragon slaying technique in our dreams!”
Chen Qing felt a little embarrassed, “Do you have to look at me?”
Zi Tao smiled and said: “It would be even better if Wen Zong was willing to enter the dream and give us a chance to comprehend the Void Gate.”
Chen Qing sighed: “Okay, let’s go to sleep.”
“I always feel like I am a bit like the mascot of Jianyou Palace.”
Zi Tao smiled, “Then such a mascot is precious.”
This woman is really charming.
But there is also an unstained temperament.
It is the demon.
Chen Qing glanced sideways and glanced at Yu Qingshuang, still looking unwilling to talk to her.
“Today, you are waiting for me in your dreams.”
After finishing speaking, Chen Qing left in embarrassment.
Backing to his big tent, Chen Qing looked at the map on the table and began to calculate silently.
Directly attacking the city is definitely nonsense. When there is not much difference in the strength of the two sides, directly attacking the city is tantamount to seeking a dead end.
If the opponent has a city to defend and the sword repairer can use it at will, the loss must be much smaller than the own side.
The only clever strategy is to use Jianyou Palace disciple Meng to kill a thousand enemy troops before Ji Dang knows that Jianyou Palace has entered the game.
There is no need to think about where Ji Dang is. Ji Dang’s location must be where the main force is. Killing a thousand enemy troops will not hurt the muscles and bones. Ji Dang has a thousand fewer troops, and he still has more than 4,000 troops. It is not difficult to defend the city. .
But Gu Long and Li Chonghuan are different. Their troops are only about 3,000.
Directly beheading a thousand will definitely hurt the bones.
It is best to lean towards the ancient dragons in the northwest.
At this time, if Hu Yao and Xu Yaofeng were mobilized to attack at the same time, Gu Long would definitely be unable to resist.
In this way, one of Ji Dang’s arms can be cut off.
Chen Qing slowly thought about it, and began to make a plan.
Then wait another month.
Chen Qing was planning to rest for a while, when Qing Ran came to see him.
“Come in!”
Qing Ran came in a little anxiously, “Wen Zong, out of the ten spies I sent out just now, one of them didn’t come back, most likely he was caught by the spies from Ji Dang’s side!”
Chen Qing frowned slightly, a little displeased, “Indeed, it’s really hard for you to face Ji Dang directly and let you continue to lead the film department.”
“Go and call Sisi, let her lead the film department.”
Qing Ran wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his hand. He was a little ashamed for making such a major mistake on the first day when he first came to the front line.
Besides, Chen Qing now occupies half of the world. It can be said that he is free to kill and plunder.
Fortunately, Chen Qing asked Yan Sisi to take over directly, which made him feel relieved of the pressure all over his body.
After discussing with Yan Sisi for a while about the situation of the spies, Chen Qing entrusted Yan Sisi with full authority over frontline intelligence matters.
Professional people do professional things, and they only need to judge how to respond based on the intelligence situation.
Soon, after Yan Sisi took over the film department, the situation immediately improved, and within three days, Ji Dang’s whereabouts were confirmed.
Ji Dang has indeed arrived in Chengyun City, and he was deliberately lured into the city a few days ago.
It is clear that Ji Dang has come to Chengyun City, and Chen Qing has become more cautious about the deployment.
Half a month later, Chen Qing summoned Yan Sisi and Wang Yuan, ready to review her own strategy.
“Now I have 1,200 Jianyou Palace disciples under my command, and I can collectively perform the dragon-slaying technique in my dream and kill thousands of enemy troops.”
“I’m going to communicate with the Red Lotus Demon King, and go to attack Gu Long together with Xu Yaofeng. Under the attack of the two, Gu Long lost another thousand people, and he will definitely be defeated.”
“So, there is a chance to kill the ancient dragon.”
“In your opinion, do I need to make some adjustments to interfere with Ji Dang’s judgment?”
Wang Yuan thought for a moment and said: “If so, the craftsmanship is too heavy, and it will easily arouse Ji Dang’s vigilance.”
“Wen Zong inexplicably attracted his attention, but he will start to pay attention to other fronts instead.”
“In my opinion, it would be better for Wen Zong to wait and see the changes.”
“In this way, it was unexpected.”
Chen Qing turned to look at Yan Sisi, “What do you think, Sisi?”
Yan Sisi said: “Master Wang Yuan is right, such craftsmanship is too heavy, in my opinion, it is better for the elder brother to arrange it quietly.”
Chen Qing nodded, “Okay, since you all said so, then I will sit behind the scenes and make arrangements.”
“There are still some details about this matter, let’s go through it in detail.”
With the assistance of Yan Sisi and Wang Yuan, Chen Qing reviewed the details of the whole incident again, “That is to say, I don’t need suspicious soldiers here, but Honglian needs some suspicious soldiers, pretending to be suspicious, right? “
Yan Sisi nodded and said: “Indeed, the Red Lotus Demon King, the world says that she doesn’t have much scheming, but it’s better for her to use tricks.”
Chen Qing nodded, “So, I understand, Sisi should send someone to deliver the letter. It will take some time for Honglian to come here, and it will be two months later.”
During two months, Chen Qing had been racing horses and training troops near Sumeru King City during this time, but Ji Dang still didn’t show up, as if he still didn’t give up his scheme to lure him.
Until the day before the start of the plan, Chen Qing suddenly received a harmless letter.
【Ji Dang Shicha army is at our place, attacking the city, please hurry to help! 】
Chen Qing picked up the letter and read it for a while, then called Xuanmang, Shen Changye, Yan Sisi and Wang Yuan.
“What do you think about this matter?”
“Ji Dang marched unharmed, but is there any conspiracy inside?”
Yan Sisi said: “The most important thing for Ji Dang now is to master the new King Gu.”
“It’s only been a few months now, I don’t believe he has mastered the use of King Gu.”
Chen Qing shook his head, “Jidang has a cicada-like Gu, which can speed up the passage of time. He may not have used this Gu to speed up his mastery of the King Gu.”
Yan Sisi said: “If this is the case, then it is very likely that Ji Dang has done something about Gu Long.”
“In the Wushang side, Ji Dang won’t be able to attack in a short time, maybe it’s just an attempt.”
Wang Yuan said: “But no matter what, we can’t sit idly by.”
“Facing Ji Dang and Li Chonghuan, Wushang is still under the pressure of the army, so he will definitely lose.”
“We have to save!”
“As for Gu Long and Xu Yaofeng, we have already placed pieces, and the rest is to see how the chess pieces strive for victory in this battle.”
Chen Qing nodded, “Well, this is the only way to go.”
“Hurry up and join the Qilong army, and follow me to support without injury. Only 800 people are left to guard the city, and the others will go with me.”
Running for three days in a row, because it wasn’t just the dragon army, so the speed of the attack was not very fast, and it took a full three days to reach the uninjured place.
Chen Qing glanced at the scene of Ji Dang’s siege from a distance, and it was really just a feint attack. He only sent half of the army under his command to attack the city.
But even half of it made it hard for Wushang to resist.
Half of Wushang’s subordinates are recruits.
Seeing Chen Qing coming here, Ji Dang quickly retreated.
Obviously, he didn’t really want to start a direct conflict with Chen Qing. Chen Qing immediately ordered Long Xiang’s army to attack and kill a circle, leaving hundreds of corpses behind.
The opponent left more than a hundred corpses and returned to the city, and began to return to defend the city.
Obviously, Ji Dang was just trying to attract Chen Qing over so that he could not support Xu Yaofeng.
The current situation is obvious, that is, both Ji Dang and Chen Qing have made major arrangements on the battlefield between Gu Long and Xu Yaofeng, and the rest is to see who is more skilled.
Chen Qing felt a little uneasy. This was because he didn’t know about Ji Dang’s arrangement, so he was worried.
Although there is an extra big teacher on his side, and even the tactic of slaying the dragon in his dream, thinking that Ji Dang also made arrangements at the same time, he began to feel a little worried.
After all, what he has to do is to attack the city, while the opponent is to defend the city.
Chen Qing silently recalled the plan, “Now, we can only see if Nie Fei’s Qilin army can make great achievements again.”
“I didn’t expect that the outcome would actually fall into Nie Fei’s hands again.”
“Junior brother, don’t think too much, since you have come here, let’s think about how to deal with the crisis at this moment.”
Chen Qing turned her head, but she didn’t expect that Yu Qingshuang, who had been ignoring him all this time, would come to comfort him at this moment.
Chen Qing nodded, “Ji Dang lured me over, so he can’t easily escape.”
“Come here, quickly send out spies to check out Ji Dang’s strength. I want to see how his cavalry is formed!”
