Chapter six hundred and fortieth chapter scouts fighting
It is said to be a small path, but in fact, this mountain road that can cross Qingfeng Ridge is not very narrow. It is about ten feet wide and seven or eight feet narrow. If such a width is just for ordinary people to walk, there will definitely be no problem. It can even be said to be spacious, but if it is used for marching, it will appear quite narrow.
It is definitely not a big problem for ordinary soldiers to pass by, but if the cavalry passes here, basically two horses can pass by in parallel, and it will be difficult to get one more horse.
In addition, vehicles carrying baggage must pass through, so the originally narrow road will become even narrower, so it is not an exaggeration to be called a trail.
After Xia Fan bid farewell to Al Zhanhu, he turned around and walked to Yukongyue and Bu Fenghou. While asking them to speed up the marching speed, he asked them to send more elite soldiers and generals to kill those scouts on the Qingfeng Path with the momentum of Mount Tai to block the scouts on the Qingfeng Path. Then he temporarily placed the heavy baggage behind and assaulted at full speed. Be sure to take down the Qingfeng Path as quickly as possible.
The reason why Xia Fan was so anxious to take down Qingfeng Trail was really related to the particularity of its terrain.
Although the location of Baishi City is very special, like a lock, it tightly jammed the road to the west side of Qingfeng Ridge through Qingfeng Path, this does not mean that Qingfeng Path is not important.
Because Qingfeng Path is so narrow, it is difficult to set up a formation on it. In other words, no matter how many soldiers and horses are on the Qingfeng Path, it is difficult to play its numerical advantage. Apart from flying in the sky, you can only fight on this narrow Qingfeng Path with your feet on the narrow Qingfeng Path. In this way, Qingfeng Path has become a defensive treasure land where you can be a guardian at any time and anywhere.
If such a road is always occupied by the enemy, it means that from entering Qingfeng Trail to Baishi City, it really needs to be fought step by step, so I really don’t know how many blood will be shed along the way. On the contrary, if the defenders take it down in one fell swoop, it will not only facilitate subsequent attacks on Baishi City, but more importantly, if the enemy wants to counterattack, we can also use the narrow terrain of Qingfeng Trail to fight it.
"I will lead the troops here in person." Yu Kongyue saw that Xia Fan was solemn, and knew that this matter was extraordinary, so she volunteered. Without waiting for Xia Fan to nod, she waved her hand and took the five thousand elites she had carefully selected before and directly rushed to Qingfeng Trail.
"Bu Fenghou..." Xia Fan called out.
"The last one is here." Bu Fenghou quickly agreed and waited for Xia Fan's order.
"I just said that there are many scouts from Lan Yu Kingdom wandering on the east side of Qingfeng Ridge. If you send more troops out to encircle them, it is not necessary to ensure the safety of our retreat." Speaking of this, Xia Fan said: "Even if Yu Kongyue opens up the Qingfeng Path in front of us later and the 80,000 troops have passed smoothly, you have to leave enough troops to guard here. Be sure not to let the enemy seize our retreat when we are not prepared."
While speaking, Xia Fan looked at the towering and steep Qingfeng Ridge and said lightly: "Although this Qingfeng Ridge is known as steep, there are even more things that wild birds can't fly, and gods are worried about it, but it is just the people in the secular world that think that if you really want to cross this Qingfeng Ridge, there are no gods? There are enough people in the God Transformation Realm. Moreover, the enemy has been entrenched in Baishi City for many years and guarding Qingfeng Ridge all day long. His understanding of this place must be far better than that of us. Maybe we will find another secret passage that can cross Qingfeng Ridge. Therefore, we have to be careful when marching and fighting."
"I understand." Bu Fenghou nodded and said, "The last general will arrange for people to garrison and defend here."
Xia Fan briefly explained a few more words, then stepped forward.
"Hu." Bu Fenghou watched Xia Fan leave, and then he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh. When facing Xia Fan just now, he did feel a lot of pressure, so he became cautious and respectful without realizing it. This is certainly related to Xia Fan's successive victory and his power gradually became increasingly powerful. More importantly, after Xia Fan broke through to the divine realm, his own pressure became much stronger than before. Even if Xia Fan intentionally restrained, the breath leaked inadvertently still made people feel awe, thus creating a feeling of divine power as the sea.
Xia Fan did not ride a horse, but just walked forward, but his speed was much faster than the cavalrymen who galloped on horseback.
Whenever he passes through the crowd, even if he doesn't deliberately line up everyone up, everyone will make way. This is not intentional by Xia Fan, but the magical effect that his own body-protecting magic power will inevitably produce after his strength reaches the realm of divine spirit. It is like a invisible barrier to protect him, and it is absolutely invincible to cold and heat, and wind and rain.
Of course, if Xia Fan wanted to restrain himself, he would not be able to do it, but he did not do it, and even the pressure on him was not completely restrained, in order to shock these soldiers.
The emphasis on leading a army is to pay equal attention to kindness and power. The so-called kindness is naturally to reward merit and fairness. In addition to being punished for mistakes, the commander's personal strength is also one of the aspects. Xia Fan's 80,000 troops are newly acquired, which is when people's hearts are unstable. If they blindly give kindness, it will easily make them arrogant. Therefore, Xia Fan shocked them with his own pressure, so they would not have any thoughts of not changing.
In addition, Xia Fan showed strong strength and pressure, and was also excited about the original 50,000 soldiers. This is often the case in the army. The lower-level soldiers were never afraid of the main general being too fierce and fierce, but they were too soft. After all, fighting was a desperate act of tied their heads on the belt. If a fierce person took the lead, the possibility of winning would be much greater. Therefore, the more majestic Xia Fan was now, the more awe-inspiring everyone, and it would make everyone more confident in victory.
Xia Fan understood the subtle emotions in the hearts of the following big-headed soldiers, so he did this. To put it bluntly, he was to use an alternative way to boost morale and strengthen confidence.
After entering Qingfeng Trail, the road narrowed a lot, but Xia Fan was not affected at all. Even in the most crowded place, he could easily float past.
After walking for about ten miles, Xia Fan noticed a lot of blood scattered on the ground, and even the plants and trees along the way were splattered. Although they had been simply cleaned up, they could still guess how fierce the battle here was from the remaining blood.
Of course, the blood needs to be cleaned, because if it is not cleaned up, it will cause the ground to be slippery and may cause people to fall into trouble. In addition, the blood on the ground can easily add psychological burden to the passing soldiers. In addition, whether it is the remains of the soldiers on your own or the corpses of the enemy, they must be cleaned up. Of course, Xia Fan does not need to worry about these things, and there are special people in the army that do it properly.
Seeing the blood and guessing that the battle ahead was extremely fierce, Xia Fan couldn't help but speed up.
After several flashes, Xia Fan had already arrived at the front line of the battle between the two sides. He saw the scouts on both sides fighting wildly, and neither of them wanted to take a step back. Yu Kongyue stood aside with a cold face, watching, not knowing what she was thinking.
"What's wrong? His face looks so ugly?" Xia Fan walked to Yu Kongyue and asked.
"The defenders of Shirashi City are much more tenacious than I had expected before." Yu Kongyue pointed to the enemy scouts on the opposite side who had no chance of winning but still had no chance of victory, and said, "The overall strength of these people is slightly worse than ours, but their fighting will is very tenacious. Since I came here, I have encountered three teams of local scouts one after another, and no one of them was left behind. It's not that our people are ruthless, but that they don't take their lives seriously."
"Puff..." As he spoke, the sound of weapons stabbing into his body came, and then the bodies of two enemy scouts fell to the ground.
Although they were dead, their eyes were still wide open, and the last expression on the remaining face was a strong hatred and resentment.
"How long is it to get to Baishi City?" Xia Fan asked.
"At least one hundred and thirty miles." Yukongyue said: "Qingfeng Ridge is not only long but also wide. The Qingfeng trail is exactly in the middle, so even if it crosses, it is 150 or sixty miles long. What I am worried about now is not that the scouts in front are crazily resisting us, but that someone has sent a message to Baishi City. Then when the defenders there come to reinforce, the 130 miles ahead will fight everywhere. If we continue to fight like this, I don't know when we will rob Baishi City."
"Don't worry." Xia Fan waved his hand and said, "A normal scout can't do it. Isn't it still my troops?"
While speaking, Xia Fan had already sacrificed the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and summoned Dudu, who had been practicing in it before, and said, "Dudu, release some soul bodies and open this passage as soon as possible."
"Yes." Dudu responded, and immediately released the soul bodies of more than ten pure blood spirit beasts, and then ordered them to attack the scouts in front of them.
These pure-blooded spirit beasts are all huge when they are alive, and even after becoming soul bodies, they are still huge. At this time, Dudu summoned them out, and almost any one of them can block the entire Qingfeng trail tightly. Then, even if they do not deliberately attack the enemy scouts on the opposite side, they just need to bury their heads and run wildly, and basically crush them effortlessly.
