Anyway, the Zhen Army has many people. In battles of a few thousand each time, even if mostly defeated, it's still training. As long as the defeated army can escape back to the camp, the loss won't be too significant, not enough to cause damage to the vital parts.
Considering the disparity in national power and manpower, if we can hold the line at the Yingzhou Defense Line, at least wear them down for three or four years, exhausting the edge of the rebel army, depleting their middle-level officers, and cultivating the Zhen Army's officers, only then will both sides have the opportunity for a decisive battle.
The current rebel army, weren't they also honed on the icy front of the Yin Mountain, suppressing demons?
But it's easier said than done to hold the line and confront the rebel army, isn't it?
Didn't the Three Constellations Immortal Army have such plans? The Gen River is much wider, and wading couldn't cross it, yet it was still shattered in one blow.
So far, the main force of the rebel army has been repeatedly probing, clearly not intentionally helping with training.
They are just newcomers, not yet adapted to the river network terrain, unable to handle the fortress of Yingzhou's city defense, still exploring and searching for battle opportunities.
But winter is coming soon. When the cold wave arrives, the icy snow will make the rebel army feel as warm as being home. Then, I'm afraid the Zhen Army's soldiers won't be able to withstand a fierce attack, and it won't be easy to retreat once they leave the city.
And once there's a mishap in Yingzhou, if the city is lost, the entire Zhen Country will be open to invasion.
Of course, there is another winning method: cheating.
For example, finding a master like Tie Dan, to assassinate and behead, slaughter the Stone Dragon that brings calamity to the world, or crush through the front gate directly, forcibly reversing fate would be good.
But why would he act?
Is Tie Dan the king of the Immortal Palace? Is Zhen Country sacrificing the nation's strength to pay tribute to him? Is the Xiao Family his illegitimate family? Other than Stone Dragon and having karmic ties with him, did any of the other rebels offend him? Even though the rebels kill recklessly, aren't there people who don't deserve to die?
Go play, don't ask, if you ask, it's all cause and effect, cosmic justice, none of my business.
Coldly watching a massacre, because the spoils sent by the Immortal Palace were too many, already armored cavalry, like tanks, rolling over and crushing, bloodily devastated an army of five thousand, the corpses spread all over the field, blood flowing like rivers.
Tie Dan only wanted to leave with a flick of his sleeves.
But he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, came up with an idea, so he temporarily retracted his sword light, turned back, and calculated the fate of these two armies.
Hmm, they were already destined for a bloody disaster, cursed by the disaster of swords.
For the ambition of those nobles, killing each other and dying on the battlefield, eventually turning into decayed flesh, feeding nothing more than some maggots, futile and useless...
So it's better to nourish his sword.
At least Tie Dan would give them a chance.
So Tie Dan's Sword Rainbow turned, directly charged toward the head of Yingzhou City, Sword Rainbow swept through and broke through formations, the city defense barrier couldn't even stop him for a moment!
Hmph, playing with the Thousand-Year Sword Power?
"Who is breaking through!" "Protect the Marquis!"
A group of Tributes immediately jumped out to intercept, and there were even two Divinity Transformation ancestors among them, showing that the Gate Valve of Zhenzhou was truly afraid this time. Fearful of being raided by the rebels, sparing no effort to support.
But then, the legitimate Family Head of the Xiao Family wasn't present?
Facing a possible personal arrival of Stone Dragon, the Xiao Family instead pushed out Marquis Xichang, a collateral, to support, while they hid in Lanling?
Heh, perhaps they were scared out of their wits last time.
Hmph, this family is just like this, incapable of anything significant.
Tie Dan's eyes glinted like electricity, sword aura blossomed, sweeping across, the group of incompetent persons he stared at immediately lowered their heads to avoid, like bashful maidens striving to hide their nostrils.
Finally, just one old man in Divinity Transformation stood bravely, accompanied by a smiling face, probably hadn't acted submissively for a long time, his facial muscles twitching...
"Could it be that you are a master of the Sword Sect? Our Immortal Palace Xuan Sect has already united, defending against the Northern Captives together, yet we didn't know if you were here to assist in battle?"
Ah, when your cultivation is high, there's not even anyone who dares to speak loudly to you. Back then, there was still a Mad Woman who could verbally spar, but now even she has become a useless wretch, truly pitiful.
Tie Dan said displeasedly,
"Where is Xiao Ming."
A group of people, seeing him pull his face down, immediately read his expression, tense with nervousness, buttocks clenching as if they couldn't hold in their defecation, bracing themselves with tension. Probably thinking, it's over, it's over, at my age, with my unsullied conduct, it ends here.
But Marquis Xichang, Xiao Ming, was indeed quite a character, having seen the world, knowing that calamity could not be avoided, still came out in a red robe with golden armor to pay respects,
"Xiao Ming has seen this Sword Monarch, please forgive the inability to perform full rituals due to my armor, what instructions do you have?"
It was an eye-opener for Tie Dan to even talk to him, not bothering to acknowledge, just shook his sleeve, revealing Xu Tan, who was tied like a cocoon.
"Is this your man!"
Xiao Ming was startled to hear that, his phoenix eyes squinted, immediately concealed the anger directed at Xu Tan, clearly blaming him for stirring up trouble and attracting such a significant enemy.
But since the Sword Monarch's Sword Rainbow was already upon them, he naturally didn't dare to hide it, adeptly kneeling on the spot,
"This person is indeed a subordinate of my mansion, I do not know how he offended the Sword Monarch."
Tie Dan said,
"Indeed, he offends my eyes."
"He offends..."
Xiao Ming was momentarily tongue-tied, not knowing how to respond.
So Tie Dan reminded,
"Aren't you supposed to redeem him."
What! Never imagined the Sword Monarch would speak so plainly! Simply too cool!
Xiao Ming, being a clever person, immediately caught the subtext in Tie Dan's words, could not help but smile!
"Yes, yes, yes! Redeem, redeem, redeem! Whatever the Sword Monarch wants, please do not hesitate to ask!"
Everyone practically breathed a sigh of relief, gluteus maximus muscles relaxed, couldn't help but celebrate secretly, saving a little life, just saying the Immortal really is naughty, playing what cat and mouse game, made people's hearts jump in fear.
So Tie Dan tossed Xu Tan to the Divinity Transformation older man's embrace, coldly saying,
"I want a sword."
"Good!"
Xiao Ming really broke out into a cold sweat, wondering what he originally wanted, in the end coming to demand weapons.
Oh really? What's so difficult about this!
"Come, open the Divine Weapon Armory, let the Sword Monarch choose..."
Then Tie Dan flashed and stood before Xiao Ming, pulled out the Court Ceremony Treasure Saber from his waist.
Xiao Ming was shocked!
The light of the blading of Ru Yue dazzled his eyes, the snowy blade reflecting his shadow.
In this moment, the past life, like a revolving lantern, flashed before Xiao Ming's eyes.
In one fleeting moment, he completely understood and witnessed his true heart.
"Have mercy, hero!!"
Tie Dan glanced disdainfully at the group of cultivators who, terrified, fled pell-mell, then looked down at Xiao Ming, prostrated at his feet, also feeling uninterested.
Come on, he was just testing the YCM technique from Xuantian's side, what's with each of you being so dramatic??
Indeed! YCM Primordial Spirit confrontation! Glaring kills!
Now Tie Dan didn't even need to use a sword, against the Immortal Gate's low-level Outer Pill riffraff, sweeping sword light with his eyes was enough to wipe them out completely.
Of course, Tie Dan's was slightly different from Chen Xuantian's YCM.
Chen Xuantian's was glaring to stupefy someone, allowing him to charge in and chop them down.
Whereas Tie Dan's was purer, exactly the most common 'Killing Intent Shock' in novels.
Honestly conveying true intention, truly making you feel, the absolute sense in Tie Dan's heart
And the inevitable end when confronted with My Sword.
This is,
Killing Sword Intent.
Thus, one glance swept across and all courage was broken...
On the opposite side, that group appeared like wolves and tigers, beasts each one, with bonds less courageous than pigeon eggs. How could they withstand it...
Tie Dan shook his head speechlessly, shifting back to the main topic.
"Heard there was a Meteorite Iron, dropped at your doorstep, and you used it for sword casting?
Hmph, casting as it is, but what amateur cultivators did you hire, wasting such good iron, deserved to be flayed."
Between life and death, Xiao Ming's brain spun crazily, experiencing unprecedented clarity, holding his head while kneeling on the ground and howling,
"Yes, yes, yes! I have a hundred Court Ceremony Blades! All to give to the hero aaaah!"
Tie Dan snorted coldly,
"Didn't you hear me say I want swords!"
Xiao Ming cried out.
It's not really his fault, being crushed by Tie Dan's YCM Primordial Spirit Technique, most people from Immortal Palace would cry.
Because mostly, the foundation of their Daoist Heart is the same.
'Want to live.'
Everyone has their aspirations, the way of life isn't necessarily wrong, it's just coincidentally restrained by Tie Dan, making breaking it particularly easy.
But such a cowardly heart, Tie Dan didn't need.
"Get out, I want to cast swords in Yingzhou."
