Chapter 322
322 East wind
Lu mingheng had already been in Mu Tong County for half a year.
Half a year ago, he accepted the orders of his family and joined the Army as the first batch of reinforcements to set off to the front line.
Of course, participating in the battle was one thing. In fact, the orders given to him by his family were to try his best to keep his life. As long as he was alive, it was a victory. Secondly, under the first condition, they had to be able to observe the situation on the front line as much as possible and send the news back to the family.
In the beginning, Lu mingheng was indeed very nervous. To be honest, this was the first time he had participated in a war of this scale. Moreover, as a foundation building cultivator, on this level of battlefield, he was nothing more than a higher level cannon fodder.
However, after half a year, he found that the situation was completely different from what he had imagined.
Yunxiao sect had made sure that the front line in Pingzhou was watertight. The entire border between Pingzhou and the Wei Kingdom was completely blocked off. With the help of all kinds of spiritual veins, they had set up defensive arrays with cultivators guarding them. The key areas were controlled and defended. High-level cultivators acted as mobile forces and could provide support at any time.
All in all, this was to ensure that no matter if the Wei Army invaded in small groups or in large scale, they would have a way to deal with it.
Mu Tong County, where Lu mingheng was located, was not considered the front line, but it was very close. Ming Heng’s team’s main responsibility was to be a Mobile Force that could support the front line at any time.
However, in the past half a year, he had only been out once or twice, and there was not even a fight.
In fact, according to some of the situations collected by Lu mingheng on the front line, the entire front line was very long, and a lot of forces were invested in the arrangement, but the number of times they fought was very few. Moreover, there was no such thing as a decisive battle between two large armies. Basically, a small number of cultivators from the Wei Kingdom came forward to investigate and were discovered by the cultivators from the Yan Kingdom. Both sides hurriedly fought, and both sides suffered some casualties. Then, the cultivators from the Wei Kingdom retreated.
On the contrary, the cultivators of the Yan Kingdom would sometimes go forward to investigate and then be beaten back. The situation was very similar.
This kind of situation made people feel that it was a little abnormal. At least, Lu mingheng felt so.
Of course, no one dared to be careless.
The country of Yan, or rather, the Yunxiao sect, did not dare to relax.
Although the expected large-scale war didn’t happen, the Wei Army was right in front of them. Through close investigation, the Yan Kingdom had basically figured out the other party’s situation.
This Northern Expedition Army of the Wei Kingdom had a scale of 50000 people.
This number of people was not considered large. Every time the Feiyun state and the Xue state fought the White ghouls on the ice field, the combat power they gathered was about this number.
However, other than the quantity, the quality was too high.
In addition to Xia Cang, there were five nascent soul cultivators and twelve golden core cultivators in the Wei Army.
This was something that Great Yan could only deal with with with the strength of the entire country.
The Wei Kingdom’s National Strength was very strong. Among the nine great immortal kingdoms, the Wei Kingdom’s comprehensive strength was in the first half. Relatively speaking, the Yan Kingdom was basically at the bottom. After so many years of war, they were not destroyed by the other side mainly because of the help of their neighbor, Jin state, and the bad relationship between Qi state and Wei State, which involved a part of Wei state’s power in the East.
There were so many high-level cultivators and an Army of 50000 cultivators from Wei Kingdom. What could the Yan Kingdom do with Chen Bing here? Would they dare to let the defense line relax even the slightest bit? If they really did launch a large-scale attack on the North, wouldn’t it be over?
The two sides confronted each other for half a year at the border of Pingzhou and Wei Kingdom.
There were more than 100000 cultivators gathered in this place. There were piles and piles of top experts, but in the past six months, the total number of casualties on both sides might not exceed 200.
……
Of course, Lu Qing was aware of the situation at the front line in Pingzhou.
After all, he had sent Lu mingheng to the front line to collect information. That was secondary. His main goal was to let him be an eye so that he could be teleported over at any time and personally check on the situation at the front line.
He even knew that the Dharma adept of the Yunxiao sect had also come to the front line to hold the fort under the pressure of Xia Cang. In his consciousness form, Lu Qing saw her in person. She was a female cultivator who looked like a graceful young married woman. She always wore a plain-colored Daoist robe, and her fellow Yunxiao sect disciples called her ‘Grandmaster Wei Yun’.
Lu Qing searched through his memories, but he could not remember such a person.
Yunxiao sect was really well-hidden
In addition to the situation at the front line, Lu Qing would often teleport to the capital of Yan and go to the platform above the palace to check on the situation of the Emperor of Yan, li Shiwen.
Li Shiwen had officially started his breakthrough four months ago.
However, Lu Qing had yet to make a report.
He had been waiting for an opportunity, and now, the opportunity had come.
Great Yan’s Imperial Army had been mobilized.
……
The most elite force of the Imperial court was naturally the Imperial Army.
There were 30000 people in this troop. Their most basic combat strength was at the late-stage of Qi refining, and a large number of them were at the ninth-stage Qi refining realm. At the same time, the ratio of Foundation establishment cultivators in the Imperial Army was also very high, more than a thousand of them. There were also more than twenty initial enlightenment cultivators.
At the same time, the six golden core cultivators of the Imperial court also moved out. Other than the guard Captain who led the Imperial Army, Zhao Guang Xin and Guan leping were also out. And the commander of this Imperial Army was none other than the Prime Minister of Great Yan, zou ziwu.
In the entire Yan city, there were only two golden core cultivators left.
Now, it seemed that the entire country of Yan was basically empty, especially the high-level cultivators.
Most of the Yunxiao sect’s forces had already been thrown into the front lines. The five nascent soul cultivators on the surface were all at the front line, and there was also the great Dharma form,’Weiyun’. Out of the fifteen golden core cultivators, twelve were present. Although Lu Qing was certain that other than the power that Yunxiao sect had on the surface, there were definitely many high-level cultivators hidden. However, the number would not be too high.
As for the Imperial court of Yan city, on the surface, only the Yan Emperor himself and two golden core cultivators were in charge of the city.
Most of the Imperial Army was stationed in the capital of Pingzhou, Pingyang city, and they were waiting for Yunxiao sect’s next order and deployment.
This was the opportunity that Lu Qing had been waiting for.
The cultivators of the Qingfeng sect had also been mobilized. The 20,000 cultivators of the Feiyun state had already been assembled. The five golden core cultivators of the Feiyun state were all present.
With the order of the Qingfeng sect’s head, Li Yanling, the 20000 cultivators of the Feiyun state rode a fleet of ten war airboats and set off toward the South. Nominally, they were going to Pingzhou to support the front line.
At that moment, everything was ready for Lu Qing. He only lacked the crucial element.
Coincidentally, Lu Qing was the one who had this opportunity.
A report letter flew toward Yunxiao sect. Lu Qing was just waiting for the east wind to blow.
