Chapter 203 Dongqi Deer Rider
June 6, the 19th year of Jiayou.
Lu Yi's army has stayed in Wuzhou City for several days.
It's not that he is slacking off, it's just that he really can't move forward any further.
In order to achieve speed, the total number of troops under his command was only 400,000.
In Lu Yi's previous life, this number of troops could perhaps be described as "huge in scale" and "astronomical in number", enough to fight a war to annihilate a country.
But in Dayin...
Four hundred thousand people is like sprinkling some pepper into a large lake; it has no flavor and has no effect.
Just to control the city of Wuzhou, more than 100,000 troops are needed.
In the entire Wuzhou, there are twelve counties, sixty-five prefectures, four hundred and fifty-five counties, and countless towns and villages.
Since Wuzhou City has rebelled, it proves that the situation in the entire Wuzhou is not much better. In other words, Dongqi Bo's claws have already reached out, and the claws of Zhuge Family and Haojian Palace have already reached out.
If we go further east from Wuzhou City, we may encounter Dong Qi Bo's main force at any time.
If Lu Yi's 400,000 cavalrymen really collide with Dong Qibo's main force, they probably won't be enough for the other side to eat!
Not to mention, the cultivators from the Heart Sword Sect have also personally taken action. Lu Yi is not willing to send out his troops rashly and run into the Heart Sword Sect's great masters and suffer again.
Just a few days ago, hundreds of guards whose souls were damaged are still lying unconscious in the barracks. Lu Yi is having a headache about this.
Early in the morning, Lu Yi sat on the top of the watchtower in the northeastern corner of Wuzhou City, coiled on the roof of the watchtower, and looked towards the northeast.
The rising sun shines on the wide, straight road.
The road is like a dragon, reflecting a faint golden light in the sun.
On and beside the road, there were Leopard Cavalry patrols with their speed further increased.
In the middle of the highway, there were about a hundred wooden signs lined up in a row, covered with large characters written by Lu Yi himself.
Lu Yi's large characters in the "Jinbei style" are majestic and heavy, stroke by stroke, and pleasing to the eye. They can be regarded as top-notch calligraphy treasures.
But the words on this wooden sign...
I believe that when Dong Qibo saw this, he would greet Lu Yi warmly, and at the same time call on the army to surround Wuzhou City, break through the city at all costs, drag Lu Yi out, cut him into pieces, and feed him to the dogs.
The words on the wooden plaque were carefully written by Lu Yi after he collected opinions from 400,000 soldiers and recruited thousands of ruffians, scoundrels, gangsters, and hooligans from the city of Wuzhou, as well as hundreds of notorious shrews. It was a "glorious chapter" to greet the ancestors of Dongqi Bo.
Every word and sentence here is extremely vulgar, dirty, filthy and filthy. Every word and sentence can pierce one's heart and lungs.
Unless one is the kind of lowly person who doesn't care about his ancestors and is willing to sacrifice his life to dig up his own ancestral grave , no one can remain calm after reading the words on these wooden signs.
Three silver flying swords were floating beside Lu Yi.
Lu Yi took a deep breath, and his energy was continuously integrated into the three flying swords. The 'buzzing' sound of the swords was like countless bees flying around, making people's scalps inexplicably numb and their whole bodies cold.
Two old monks from the Heart Sword Sect came to "kill the traitor" and used heavy blows, causing the death of hundreds of Lu Fu's personal guards. They were beaten to pieces by the angry Lu Fu.
The flying swords they had cultivated with their lives, after the two old monks were beaten to pieces by Lu Yi, wanted to fly away, but how could they escape? Lu Yi rolled up the silver dragon sword and struck the long spear twice, and the two flying swords were retained.
Two six-inch small swords, one named 'Yaoguang' and the other 'Xuanying'. After professional appraisal by Qingyou and the other two girls, they were definitely top-grade flying swords, even of higher quality than the Silver Dragon Sword.
After all, it is the only remaining sword-cultivating sect in the world today, and it is also a famous sect in Taoism. The foundation of their sect is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
For several days in a row, Lu Yi used a secret method to refine the Brilliant Light and Dazzling Shadow. After his day and night refining and cleansing, the aura of the two old monks had been washed away from the two small swords, and the two flying swords had been left with the imprint of Lu Yi's soul.
After several days of practice, Lu Yi officially discovered that his spiritual cultivation was far beyond his imagination.
The Heart Sword Sect is an expert in controlling swords with divine powers. The monks of the Heart Sword Sect have a unique inheritance in the cultivation of the soul. The strength of their souls is much stronger than those of monks of other sects with the same level of cultivation.
The two old monks are both sword practitioners of the Heart Sword Sect who are close to reaching the great perfection of the Fiery Fire Realm.
However, they turned their minds into swords and broke into Lu Fu's mind, wanting to kill Lu Fu's soul. As a result, they were easily crushed to death on the spot by Lu Fu's visualization of the Three-Eyed God.
Lu Yu estimated that his spiritual cultivation was probably more than a hundred times that of the two old monks!
This has nothing to do with the infinite return to the void body.
The Wuliang Guixu body in the Fiery Realm still follows the orthodox path, still working hard on "polishing magic power", and has not yet touched upon the cultivation of the spirit and soul.
To achieve the Wuliang Guixu body, one must break through the Fiery Fire Realm and begin the 'Fiery Fire Planting Golden Lotus' before one can officially begin to work hard on the spirit and soul.
In other words, Lu Yi's practice of visualizing the Three-Eyed Divine Man Diagram in just five or six years was a hundred times more powerful than the spiritual power that the two old monks had cultivated through decades of painstaking efforts using the Heart Sword Sect's secret techniques!
"I suddenly realized that I am quite amazing." Lu Yi smiled and gently tapped the Yaoguang Sword floating in front of him.
The three small swords swayed gently, echoing Lu Yi's breath.
The Silver Dragon Sword's sword intent is sharp, ferocious and murderous.
The sword intent of dazzling light and dazzling shadow is light, ethereal and changeable.
Lu Yi's spirit and energy blended with the three flying swords, and his aura gradually became contaminated by the characteristics of the three flying swords.
In the northeast direction, on the highway, a very thin beam of fire shot up into the sky.
"Bang! Crash!"
Large fireworks exploded in the sky hundreds of feet above the ground. The red ball of light exploded to a size of more than ten feet. The dull sound of the explosion was heard from afar with the wind.
Lu Yi stood up. It turned out that the patrolling Leopard Cavalry had encountered the enemy.
Thin rays of fire continued to rise, extending rapidly from afar towards Wuzhou City.
Balls of red flames exploded one after another!
According to the signal agreed upon by Lu Yi’s army, a ball of fire probably meant an enemy force of a thousand people.
Two balls of fire represent about five thousand people.
Three balls of fire, probably 10,000 enemies.
The continuously rising warning fireworks meant that at least hundreds of thousands of enemies were approaching, and the frequency of the fireworks rising was so fast, which meant that the enemy's advance speed was also extremely astonishing.
Lu Yi whistled and a strong wind suddenly blew up around him, carrying him into the air. Amid the cheers of countless soldiers on the city wall, he soared hundreds of feet into the sky, looking down from above, towards the northeast.
On the light golden road, about seventy or eighty miles away, I saw a large black army rushing along the road like a tide.
I don’t know how the ancient people built this Dayin highway.
No matter it is windy or rainy, no matter how much time passes, this road does not need to be cleaned. It is always as clean as new, and even a speck of dust or a fallen leaf is rarely seen.
The boundless and endless army galloped on horseback without raising any dust.
The weather was excellent, the view was wide, and there was no smoke or dust obscuring the view. Lu Yi's eyesight was also excellent. He could clearly see that in front of the huge army, large banners were fluttering in the wind, and a series of blue-bottomed thief flags were connected in a row, like blue clouds flying towards them.
Above that army, thousands of albatrosses with a wingspan of over ten feet spread their wings and glided past at a low altitude of hundreds of feet above the ground. Their huge wings cast a huge shadow on the ground.
On the backs of those albatrosses with feathers as white as snow, the snow-white swordsmen of the Haojian Palace stood proudly. At first glance, the total number of them was at least over 30,000.
In front of this huge army, several patrolling Leopard Cavalry were fleeing at full speed.
They were about three to five miles away from the main enemy force, and more than a mile behind them, there was an enemy scout cavalry unit that was following them closely.
Lu Yi saw that the Leopard Cavalry who fell behind would suddenly turn around and fire their loaded crossbows at the pursuers behind them.
Arrows whizzed backwards, and from time to time some unlucky members of the enemy's pursuing scout cavalry would bump into the crossbow arrows and fall off their mounts with a scream.
Some mounts were even hit by crossbow arrows, and both the rider and the mount fell to the ground, tumbling all the way on the road, breaking bones and ripping tendons.
"These bastards."
Looking at the fleeing Leopard Cavalry, Lu Yi couldn't help but laugh and curse out loud.
The enemy's scout cavalry was not very fast, probably about the same speed as the Leopard Cavalry before their bloodline transformed.
Today, the Leopard Cavalry is several times faster than before the expedition. If they want to get rid of the enemy, it will be extremely easy.
But they deliberately slowed down, walking around each other at a leisurely pace, attracting the other party to chase them closely.
Relying on the advantage of equipment, they leisurely pulled the crossbow strings and put arrows on the crossbows on the backs of their mounts, and then leisurely turned around and shot.
The pursuers were shot and fell off their horses...
Well, the enemy was getting closer and closer, and Lu Yi saw clearly that the enemy's mounts were not ordinary horses, but huge red deer with black bodies and huge horns on their heads.
Lu Yi remembered the information sent from Haojing.
Dongqi Bo's territory is mostly hilly plains with a large number of herds of exotic red deer. Dongqi Bo's clan has put a lot of effort into these herds of red deer , invested huge amounts of money and food resources, and formed a very distinctive "deer cavalry".
The speed at which these deer riders ran on flat ground was even slower than that of the leopard riders in the past.
However, in special areas such as mountains, hills, jungles and grasslands, these deer riders are much more agile than ordinary war horses.
It was with the help of these deer cavalry that Dongqi Bo gained a great advantage in forest and mountain battles in territorial conflicts with several neighboring princes. Many times he used the deer cavalry to launch surprise attacks and beat his neighbors to a bloody pulp.
Lu Yi also thought of what was mentioned in the intelligence: these deer riders were not very strong, but they had great endurance, and especially extremely special explosive power.
They can increase their speed to more than three times their normal speed in a very short period of time, about a quarter of an hour. When charging at short distances, their large horns on their heads, which are harder than steel, can deliver impact and lethality comparable to that of heavy cavalry.
Just as Lu Yi thought of this, he saw the scouts who were chasing him slap the big red deer on the head.
Suddenly, blood-colored lines appeared on the bodies of these elk.
Their speed suddenly increased, "da da da", and in a few breaths they rushed to a place less than fifty feet away from the Leopard Cavalry.
