Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Not long after, all the managers of the Ninth Legion gathered here. Everyone looked solemn. Apparently, they had also heard about the defeat of the Tenth Legion.

Tangning got straight to the point: "You may have heard that the 10th Legion's attack on Jianghuai City was not going well. The demons have assembled a large army to launch a counterattack and blocked the 10th Legion with Jianghuaicheng County."

"The demon army's counterattack was faster than I thought. I thought that they would have to attack Yuezhi City before the demon army could counterattack in a large scale. I didn't expect that they would reach Jianghuai City so quickly. It can be seen from this that the demon army's attack on Hanoi The county attaches great importance to it, almost to the point of fighting for every inch of land.”

"They have regarded Hanoi County as their own territory, so they are so eager to move out and drive us out."

"This saves us a lot of trouble. Since the demon army is seeking death, we will defeat it in one fell swoop in Jianghuai City. After winning this battle, there will be no obstacles to attacking Yanggu County."

After everyone heard this, they unconsciously looked at each other and looked at each other. They originally thought that Tang Ning would order to return to Huayin City and join the majority of the troops led by Gan Xian. They did not expect that Tang Ning would actually have a showdown with the demons here. This was completely The move that was beyond everyone's expectations instantly made the atmosphere in the room become subtle.

"Ahem." The commander of the Ninth Army coughed lightly: "Senior Tang, this junior has something I don't know whether I should say or not."

"I called you here to discuss the next step. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."

"Please forgive me for speaking bluntly, junior, the demonic army has led a large part and has also dispatched the Mahayana demons who are stationed there. With our military strength, we may not be able to win if we face its edge directly. Why not retreat to Huayin City temporarily and fight with Senior Gan first? Wouldn't it be safer if the teams gather together and attack Jianghuai City together?"

"Yes!" The inspector of the Ninth Legion agreed: "Senior Tang, the monsters are coming in large numbers, and we don't know how many troops there are. In addition, the Tenth Legion has just been defeated, so it seems inappropriate for us to face the difficulties at this time. Why not temporarily? To avoid the danger, retreat to Huayin City first, gather the remnants of the 10th Legion, and then join the legion led by Senior Gan. Then we will have a better chance of fighting the demon army. "

"No." Tangning rejected their proposal loudly and decisively: "Now is the opportunity to make great achievements. The demon army has come all the way and has just defeated the 10th Army. It is a moment of satisfaction. We can catch us by surprise and advance instead of retreating. If we can Catch them off guard."

"The demon army came out in large numbers and chose to fight with us in the field. This is a great opportunity for us to annihilate them in one fell swoop. If we retreat to Huayin City at this time, we will miss the opportunity."

"If the demonic army shrinks its defenses and huddles in the formation and does not come out, it will be much more difficult to regain Yanggu County than it is now. According to the report of Duan Zhiyuan, the inspector of the 10th Army, the number of enemy troops dispatched this time It's just a legion, and there is only one Mahayana monster sitting there. We can defeat it with our strength. This is a great opportunity for us to defeat them one by one. "

"I know your concerns, but I can guarantee that our headquarters will win this battle. You just need to do your own thing. I will deal with the Mahayana monsters that are sitting in the demon army. I will never let them free their hands to harass you. . When I defeat the demon army Mahayana, I will come back to help you."

Seeing that he was so confident and confident, everyone still had some doubts about his mysterious self-confidence, and the worries in their hearts did not completely subside because of this.

The commander of the ninth legion whispered: "Senior Tang, it is not that the juniors have the ambition of others and destroy their own prestige. Of course we believe that it is not a problem for the seniors to deal with the Mahayana monsters in the demon army, but there may not be only one in the enemy army. There are at least two Mahayana monsters in Yanggu County.”

"Fellow Daoist Duan Zhiyuan only saw one Mahayana monster in the demon army. It does not mean that he is the only one. There may be Mahayana monsters who have not taken action yet. Seniors had better think twice before acting. Juniors and others are not greedy for life and afraid of death, and are unwilling to use their lives. , I’m just worried about the safety of my seniors.”

"Senior is the pillar of our headquarters and the beam that supports the sea. If something unexpected happens, not only will our plan to attack Yanggu County be shattered, but it will also be a heavy loss to the entire Liangzhou coalition."

Tangning's eyes swept over him, then looked around everyone, and said coldly: "Anyone who doesn't have the guts to fight to the death with the demon army can leave now."

As soon as he said this, the room fell into silence. Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing, no one dared to look at him.

Tang Ning was also a little angry. He called these people here for discussion in a nice voice, but he didn't expect that these people would treat him like a soft persimmon, pushing back and blocking everything.

I really shame you.

Since it was useless to talk nicely, he stopped being polite and snorted coldly: "I am not discussing with you now, but issuing orders on behalf of the Liangzhou Allied Forces. You think that I am a member of the Xuanmen Allied Forces, so I cannot command." Are you? If anyone disobeys the order, stand up for me now."

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.

"Lu Xun." Tangning looked at the commander of the 9th Army.

"Senior, what are your orders?" Seeing that Tang Ning was angry, the commander of the Ninth Army did not dare to say anything more and responded with an honest look.

"I now order the team to speed up and head towards Huaiyin City."

"Yes, junior, I obey."

"Regardless of whether there is one Mahayana in the demon army or two Mahayana, I will regard them as chickens and dogs. You just have to move forward with all your strength, and I will be the one in front of you in disgrace. If anyone is cheating during the battle, , I will punish you severely if you violate the law and run away privately. "

"Yes." Everyone responded one after another.

"You all go! The mission team is moving forward at full speed. I want to annihilate the main force of the demon army stationed in Yanggu County in Jianghuai City in one fell swoop."

Everyone below responded and left. After leaving the cabin, several people from the Ninth Legion gathered together, all looking a little unhappy.

Everyone was a prominent figure in Liangzhou, and they all looked a little embarrassed when Tang Ning, a foreign monk, reprimanded them like this.

He didn't dare to refute in front of Tang Ning, but he wasn't so polite in private.

The inspector of the Ninth Legion sighed slightly: "This official level is overwhelming! There is no other way, we can only do it."

"Hmph!" Lu Xun, the commander of the Ninth Army, had just been named and reprimanded in public. He was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger. He snorted coldly: "He is not a monk from Liangzhou, but just a Mai Ke who came to do part-time work as reinforcement. He will leave here at any time. Of course it doesn't matter whether we live or die when he goes back to Taixuanzong. If things go wrong, he will just slap his butt and run away, and the demon army will not be able to catch up. "

"I think we need to be careful and be smart. Don't get too entangled with the demon army. If the battle situation is unfavorable, we can escape at any time."

…

Tang Ning couldn't hear everyone's private discussions. The reason why he didn't listen to others' suggestions and insisted on attacking Jianghuai City was because of his own considerations.

First of all, he was of course confident that he could deal with this hurried demon army. According to previous news, there were at least two Mahayana demons in Yanggu County, and maybe three or more.

If these Mahayana monsters all stay in one place, he has no confidence that he can capture Yanggu County. Now is a great opportunity to defeat them one by one, and he cannot miss this opportunity.

Duan Ziyuan, the inspector of the Tenth Legion, said that he only saw one Mahayana monster. Assuming that there was really only one person in this demon army, it would be much easier for him to deal with it.

If there are other Mahayana monsters that have not taken action, it is expected that there will only be two people at most.

Because this demon army came in a hurry to recapture Huayin City. Judging from the strength of the demon army, there should be only two Mahayana demons at most. One against two, he was not afraid.

If the demon army cannot retreat and defend Yanggu County, then he will have to deal with at least two or more Mahayana demons.

At this time, the demonic army came quickly, and he only had to deal with one or at most two Mahayana demons. Of course, he couldn't miss this opportunity.

And if he retreats to Huayin City and waits for the arrival of Gan Xian and his troops, and the two of them join forces, although it will be more secure, the entire coalition will not be able to make the decision by then, which will be inconvenient for him to collect magic crystals.

He took the initiative to lead the ninth and tenth legions as vanguards, just to collect magic crystals. This was his main purpose.

If it was for the sake of safety, he would not have asked Ying to lead his troops on the front line.

………

The Leizi ship passed through the clouds and fog, sailing high in the sky. The mighty warships stretched endlessly, traveling day and night all the way to Jianghuai City.

In the Leizi cabin, Tang Ning was sitting with his eyes closed. Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door. He opened his eyes, and the stone door opened. Zhang Luxun of the Ninth Legion walked in quickly. He bowed his head solemnly and said, "Senior Tang. , According to the report from the spies, most of the demon army was spotted in front, heading towards us. "

"Well done, I was afraid they would hide away and refuse to come out!" Tangning said calmly: "How far are they from us?"

"With the speed at which both sides are traveling, they will meet head-on in less than a day at most."

"Keep the team in formation and move forward."

"Yes." Lu Xun responded and left.

…

As time passed, after the moon was at the top of the sky, the naked eye could finally see that most of the demonic army was moving from far to near like a torrent.

The front teams of both sides met without any lull, and a battle broke out immediately.

The warships of the first, second, third and fourth columns at the front of the legion opened fire and fired volleys of artillery shells.

In an instant, the dark night sky was illuminated by various rays of light. Cannonballs fell into the demon army like rain. Huge airflow clouds rose up, covering hundreds of miles in radius, and space ripples rippled layer by layer.

Pieces of light shone in the demon army array, advancing towards the cannonball attack.

High in the sky, monster corpses fell like rubble one after another, and blood rained down.

Tangning stood on the deck of the Leizi ship with his hands behind his hands, watching the Wuyangyang demon clan and the coalition forces intertwined together. His heart was as calm as still water, without any waves rising. In his eyes, both humans and demons seemed to have become ants, and he just It's like watching two groups of ants fighting.

The battle soon became intense. Many monsters broke through the coalition's defense line, rushed to the rear, and started hand-to-hand combat with the coalition monks.

Shocking roars resounded through the sky, and the light of various magical powers enveloped the world.

As time went by, all the legion's branches came into contact with the demon army, and the battle was both fierce and chaotic.

Seeing that the coalition forces were retreating steadily, Tang Ning no longer waited and watched, and decided to take the initiative. In a flash, he left the Leizi ship and pressed towards the oncoming demon army.

The light from Xuantian's big palm print circulated and pressed down from the sky, immediately beating more than a dozen monsters to a bloody pulp.

The incoming monsters naturally sensed his cultivation strength and fled in all directions. Tangning felt as if he was in an uninhabited land and rushed straight to the base camp of the demon army. The monsters along the way naturally did not dare to cause trouble to him, lest they run away.

His appearance caused huge commotion throughout the battlefield. Wherever he passed, groups of monsters fled like headless flies.
