Chapter 106 The strange commander
Just as Chen Baowan left these practitioners who loyally protected her and left this purple bamboo forest alone, the figures of two Northern Wei practitioners wearing black armor cut the air and came to Pingfeng Valley.
These two Northern Wei practitioners discovered Murong Xing's body as soon as possible.
They squatted down, looked at Murong Xing's chest and wounds on his hands, and remained silent.
Just relying on some traces of battle on the spot, these two Northern Wei practitioners quickly inferred that this was the work of the Southern Dynasty's Tie Ce Army.
Standing in an opposing position, the Southern Dynasty army that the people from the northern dynasty hardest to understand is the Tie Ce Army.
According to their perception, the Tie Ce Army was not a gathering of the most elite sergeants of the Southern Dynasties, but a gathering of sergeants who were excluded in the army and ruthlessly abandoned in the army.
It is difficult for the Tie Ce Army to obtain sufficient food and grass supply, and even some of the weapons are not excellent, and many of them are even made by themselves.
Such an army should have no morale or will at all.
However, the fact is the opposite. The Tie Ce Army is even more difficult to deal with than the well-known elite troops of the Southern Dynasty.
These practitioners do not know that because they lived too hard, the vast majority of the soldiers of the Tie Ce Army were just to live as much as possible.
There is no will, and it is stronger than pure demands to live.
Just as these Northern Wei practitioners did not understand, in more remote dynasties such as Dangxiang, why many people who were already extremely poor in life had to sacrifice themselves to worship some of their so-called gods and so-called masters.
The fact is that the harder and difficult environment is, the more it needs some strong belief to support it.
Looking at some battle traces around, the two Northern Wei practitioners confirmed that the battle ended very quickly.
The faster the battle ends, the stronger the iron army is.
Therefore, these two Northern Wei practitioners did not choose to pursue themselves, but decided to return quickly to report on the military situation.
......
The Tie Ce Army was very cautious in its marching.
Most of the time they walked along the streams in the mountains, and they were walking in the water with their bodies low, drilling into the shadow of the trees on both sides of the river as much as possible, and even wishing to embed themselves into the exposed roots.
Many of them are experiences learned between life and death.
The sound of water can cover up many sounds caused by marching, and the current of water can wash away traces left in the stream, and even wash away the odor left behind.
Lin Yi followed Xue Jiu closely. Although he was nominally the commander of this Tie Ce Army, he had to learn too much about marching and fighting.
But for Xue Jiu, Lin Yi learned it very quickly.
Lin Yi almost remembered the passwords, codes and sign languages that he often used in the battle formation.
In the following time, Lin Yi even quickly remembered some of the ways and secret codes of the Tie Ce Army and other armies to identify each other's identities.
Moreover, in Xue Jiu's opinion, Lin Yi has heard of it since childhood. In terms of command, he is probably born with an advantage that others cannot compare with. At least in terms of temperament, in his opinion, Lin Yi seems to be no different from some young elite generals who have just been sent to the Tie Ce Army.
"In your opinion, what is the most important thing in fighting a practitioner?"
While keeping in mind the secret codes and sign languages, Lin Yi asked Xue Jiu softly.
The more he talked to Xue Jiu, the more he felt that the combat experience of the Tie Ce Army was actually more valuable to him than the records of the classics and notes of the Qitian Academy and the Nantian Academy.
Because those who can leave notes related to practice are generally practitioners.
These ordinary sergeants could not leave any works in the long scroll of history.
However, in the classics left by practitioners, the general records are how to use martial arts and true energy skills to fight the enemy. Even if there are some examples of weak defeating the strong, the gap in cultivation cannot be too large.
For example, there are few scriptures that teach practitioners who have just entered the Huangya realm how to kill practitioners in the middle level of the Life Palace realm.
This gap is too big and is considered impossible to happen in the world of practitioners.
If a practitioner who has just condensed the yellow buds meets a practitioner in the middle level of the life palace, he will die happily and don’t struggle too much.
But these Iron Army soldiers are not even practitioners.
Some of their small tricks and experience of killing powerful practitioners were very useful in Lin Yi's opinion.
"The most important thing is to be calm."
Xue Jiu said softly: "First of all, we must think thoroughly that practitioners are not the same people as us. They are too powerful. They regard them as something like tigers. They are not afraid of seeing them showing their power. Being able to remain calm is the first step. Next, in our opinion, how to deceive practitioners is the second key step."
Lin Yi was a little curious, "What does cheating mean?"
"The reaction of the practitioner is always faster than ours." Xue Jiu looked back at Lin Yi, "Just like you, even if you and I stand still, they will always pull the sword and stab each other. You will know where my knife stabs you faster than me. Even if you take action later, you will have enough time to block my sword and kill me instead. So don't think that practitioners sometimes have flaws. We think it's too late, but we just think it's just that we think it's. What we need is to make him negligent and neglect to guard against someone among us. For example, we will pretend to be dead. If these practitioners kill people, if they are also practitioners, they will remember to kill a few people very clearly. However, in the battle, they may not count the number of people they have killed, and there will be a few left. Some of us may be seriously injured after hitting his sword, but simply don't move, making him think that he is dead. Sometimes, a sudden attack may be successful."
The climate in the mountains and forests was changing, and a sudden heavy rain ended the conversation between Lin Yi and Xue Jiu.
All the iron army came ashore and fled into the mountains.
This heavy rain can easily cause short-term mountain torrents. Sometimes the water flow down the upstream can instantly turn the water level of this shallow stream into a monster that is enough to devour them like sergeants.
Just when this unexpected rainstorm had not stopped, a wisp of green smoke rose into the sky tenaciously in the raindrops across a mountain.
When all the soldiers of the Tie Ce Army took a deep breath when they saw the blue smoke, they turned to look at Lin Yi.
This is the Green Wolf Smoke, something the Southern Dynasties army used to ask for help.
The Tie Ce Army has the responsibility to rescue. When seeing such a wolf smoke, Lin Yi will decide whether to go or not.
The ignition of blue wolf smoke shows that the battle there is extremely unfavorable to the Southern Dynasties army.
Especially in Meishan where practitioners are everywhere, such battles are even more dangerous.
Is it just possible to escape?
There are many things in life, and there is no reason to escape.
Lin Yi looked up at the wolf smoke that was very close to them, clenched his fists and raised it.
This is preparing for the battle.
......
The heavy rain covered the shrill sound of arrows.
Hundreds of feathered arrows were drawn in arcs, falling from both sides of the hillside with the rain line towards the Southern Dynasties army that were suppressed in a ravine.
The Southern Dynasties army in the ravine had been dispersed as much as possible, curling up under some trees and rocks. However, these arrows still made a lot of sounds of flesh-filled sounds, splashing blood.
"Which idiot is this?"
Just as he crossed the mountain, he suppressed his breathing violently. As soon as he saw such a scene clearly from the forest, Xue Jiu's face became extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but lower his voice and cursed angrily.
For the iron army, even if they happened to march in the ravine, they suddenly encountered ambush on the hillsides on both sides. After the blue smoke was lit up, the army should have at least tried to rush into the hillsides on one side.
In his current view, this army did not need to rush towards the hillsides on both sides. They just needed to retreat to the rear at full speed. There was a low hill behind them, but it was enough to change the current situation of being shot at random.
"What army is this?"
Lin Yi had heard Xue Jiu talk about some of the characteristics of each army before, but the clothing style on the army pressed into the ravine was obviously the style of the Southern Dynasty, but he still couldn't tell that it belonged to He Jun.
"It's the soldiers of the prefectures and counties here." Xue Jiu said in a cold voice: "It's impossible to tell if it belongs to the soldiers of the He family."
Lin Yi nodded and looked at the hillside opposite him.
The Northern Wei feather arrows were actually very expensive, but along the way he had heard at least four rounds of arrow rain.
