Kong Peng, the black mountain''s Wu Zun, led 3000 elite riders. Less than 200 miles away from Nanjian gorge, he met the war birds who had fled from Nanjian gorge. Only then did he know that the dead bone Taoist had died. Even his flesh was torn to pieces by the storm like arrow rain, and even his whole body could not stay. They managed to come up with more than 40 war birds, A face-to-face loss of more than a third.


    Looking at the quenched gold arrow in his hand, Kong Peng frowned slightly.


    The iron arrow, about eight inches long, is dark and dull. The tail does not balance the tail feathers of the arrow body. The slender arrow rod is integrated with the arrow cluster. Its appearance is no different from that of ordinary crossbows, but it is extremely heavy at the beginning. It is even more than twice as heavy as the sharp edge arrows used by the most elite archers in the army.


    It can be seen that the whole arrow is indeed cast with extremely precious quenched gold and iron. However, it is polished to a sharp edge, but therefore, it has such terrible lethality.


    Even without experiencing the storm like arrow rain, looking at the quenched golden arrow in his hand, it is not difficult for Kong Peng to imagine what kind of heavy blow the dead bone Taoist encountered when he was caught off guard.


    Although Kong Peng has become a Taoist pill and his understanding of the true meaning of Tao and the yuan breath of heaven and earth has gone beyond the realm of enlightenment and entered a higher level, and his flesh is much stronger than ordinary people, he is still a mortal body and a body of flesh and blood.


    Even if he was not the skeleton Taoist, he might be able to save his life if he led the war birds to Nanjian gorge, but if he didn''t want his body to be hanged and crushed by the golden arrow array formed by dozens of mechanism crossbows, he had to retreat in a hurry.


    Even if Chen Haijia is the vanguard of Jingjue army, there are only three or four strong men in the early stage of Mingqiao territory. Fighting alone should be far from his opponent, but as long as someone can let him stay in mid air for a few moments, he needs to bear the coverage of a round of golden arrow rain.


    This is by no means easy to absorb.


    Fortunately, whether Kong Peng served in the northern army of the Western Qiang state in his early years or became a bandit in Montenegro, he attached great importance to riding and shooting. The black mountain bandit can traverse the desert. In just a few years, he became the first among the horse thieves in the north of Pinglu, which is closely related to the fact that everyone in the black mountain bandit is good at riding and shooting.


    Even though there were 3000 elite behind Kong Peng, almost everyone was carrying a strong bow. At this time, they all took the bow and crossbow in their hands and were ready.


    It is undoubtedly the best strategy to fight arrow array against arrow array and arrow rain against arrow rain.


    Forty or fifty mechanism crossbows, no matter how fast they shoot, will not be better than the arrow array formed by 3000 elite archers.


    In order to prevent Jingjue army''s war bird camp from killing suddenly from all directions in the air, Kong Peng ordered 3000 elite riders to form a six fold circular array along the Chi Road, which was linked layer by layer, so that Jingjue army''s war bird camp could not find a chance to start. Only in this way, before more archers were drawn from the rear to reinforce, the speed of the three thousand fine horses of the black mountain army advancing to nanjianxia immediately stopped.


    The second batch of elite troops, more than 4000 horse soldiers, arrived at Nanjian gorge before midnight.


    Miao Mingcheng, Yue Yiran and Su chonghu haven''t left Nanjian gorge. They don''t even give up. More demon Temple disciples forced Lukai gorge, but they didn''t cross Lukai gorge into the two banks of Luhe River.


    Under the cold moonlight, Yue Yiran could see more than 4000 horse infantry of the elite army, surrounded by more than a dozen chariots, slowly entering Nanjian gorge.


    These chariots are dark and look ugly. They are twice as big as ordinary four-wheel carriages. However, looking at the traces left by the ruts rolling the road, this iron chariot is ten times heavier than ordinary wooden chariots.


    Each chariot was dragged by more than 20 Huang Biao horses, which barely kept up with the forward speed of the horse infantry.


    Although the mechanism crossbow mounted by each chariot is larger and more shocking, Yue Yiran doesn''t understand what Jingjue army does to forge such a bulky chariot?


    The carriages of these chariots should be made of quenched gold and iron materials -- damn it, the Jingjue army seems to use the hard to find quenched gold and iron materials in the desert as garbage at will -- his defense is naturally extremely amazing. Maybe he can''t expect to cut the chariot within three or five strikes, but the chariot is so heavy that if it hadn''t been dragged by war animals like Heijiao, What can it do on the battlefield?


    Although twenty or thirty strong horses or more than a dozen green and cunning horses can drag this kind of chariot forward and backward on the battlefield, the enemy can not directly attack the chariot body. As long as the horses dragging the chariot can be dispersed, the chariot can be dragged over on the battlefield.


    Yue Yiran doesn''t know that every time he takes a divine aircraft chariot and really enters the battlefield, the driving force driving the conflict between the three pairs of load wheels is the two wind array boxes at the bottom of the chariot, which are highly refined and equivalent to the top-grade magic weapon of the Yellow level.


    During long-distance travel, in order to prolong the service life of core engine spring components such as wind array box and gearbox as much as possible, dozens of horses were used to drag them in batches, which was not intended to hide people''s eyes and ears.


    After the three thousand horse infantry troops surrounded by twelve Shenji chariots arrived, Chen Hai no longer let the Jingjue army continue to shrink in the narrow Nanjian gorge. Instead, he went out to the west entrance of Nanjian gorge, dug trenches outside the west entrance, and built simple retaining walls with wood and stone on both wings. While ensuring the access of his own attack, As far as possible, the rebel attack channel should be compressed to the extent that the front of the crossbow can cover.


    At dawn, Wu Meng and Qi Hanjiang led the war bird camp back from the west, and Kong Peng led more than 10000 bows to approach from the West. Even at this time, the rebels still have an absolute advantage in scale, but Kong Peng did not immediately lead the crowd to the Nanjian gorge to kill them, but stationed in a small town called Yuchi city 20 miles away from the Nanjian gorge.


    Although Yuchi City, like Lucheng before, remained neutral, it had long been controlled by Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng''s lineage. It had not made a public statement before. In fact, it still had to cooperate with the demon temple''s plot to trap Lucheng and lure and kill taiweizong elite.


    The conspiracy of the demon temple was exposed. Hundreds of elite disciples dared not go north south of Lukai gorge, but Yuchi city set up the Rebel Flag of the black mountain army; In addition to many demon Temple disciples lurking, Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng also deployed a defense array in Yuchi City, and Chen Hai failed to seize it suddenly.


    At this time, ye Qinglin also led his troops into tieleling. In the name of the Lord of the Western Qiang state, he called five family leaders surnamed Zhao Jin, Zhou Yiming, Yang Jinsheng, Gu Yanxia and Zhang Tianzuo to meet him.


    Kong Peng and his superior troops did not dare to attack Nanjian gorge. No matter what the final outcome of the war will be, the five family owners knew that the rebels would not be able to cross tieleling and enter Lucheng in a short time.


    Where to go is no longer a difficult choice for them at this time.


    Zhang Tianzuo led more than a thousand legitimate children and relatives of the people to withdraw from Lucheng and escape into the clan strongholds in the south of the city and the West Bank of the Luhe River.


    Even if Zhao Jin, Zhou Yiming, Yang Jinsheng and Gu Yanxia decided to lead the children of the four ethnic groups and re submit to the command of the Ye royal family at this time, they would not be in a hurry to attack Zhang -- anyway, Zhang''s biggest sin is mainly to collude with the demon temple and want to ambush the disciples of taiweizong.


    Whether to encircle and annihilate Zhang''s children, even ye Qinglin can''t decide without authorization. Ge Xuanqiao needs to decide on behalf of taiweizong, but ye Qinglin never mind sending troops to annihilate three or four thousand Zhang''s people and eliminate future troubles forever.


    Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao finally gave Miao Mingcheng, Yue Yiran, Su chonghu and Zhang Tianzuo the last pass to ask the Zhang family to withdraw to the south of Lukai gorge in three days.


    Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao could only threaten the demon Temple disciples not to step over Lukai gorge, but hundreds of demon Temple disciples gathered in the depths of the mountains south of Lukai gorge and did not leave, which was always a threat. They don''t want to kill. Naturally, they can''t let Zhang''s people escape tieleling to take refuge in and strengthen the strength of Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other thieves. The best way is to force thousands of Zhang''s people into the deep mountains south of Lukai gorge.


    The mountain in the south of Lukai gorge is very high. There is no problem for xuanxiu and Wuxiu to stay dormant for a long time in the south of Lukai gorge, but Miao Mingcheng and others must immediately arrange disciples to escort Zhang''s people to Dajin mountain, where the demon god mountain is located.


    In this way, it is also necessary to remove the threat that the demon Temple disciples gather in the south of Lukai gorge.


    In the past six months, ye Qinglin, ye he and other Ye disciples gathered up the remnant in Heishan, compiled and trained 20000 Royal troops, and this time they all moved to tieleling.


    In addition, although Ding Shuang, Deng Qingyuan, Guo Hongxuan and others led some troops to stay in Montenegro, the Jingjue army also recruited 12000 elite from many military governments and headed south into Lucheng under the leadership of Dong Ning, fan Dachun, Han Jian, Deng tong''er, Han wendang, Ge Tong and others.


    In terms of absolute strength, Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng gathered more than 70000 troops on the front line of the Western Qiang King City and Tianai mountain. In the later stage, they also tilted towards Yuchi city. Whether it is the size of troops or the number of elite, the Montenegrin rebels have a great advantage. However, both the early Montenegrin aggressors and the more than 10000 elite riders secretly assisted by the Tibetan and Qiang countries are good at competing in the vast sand sea, And shorter than the siege.


    The total number of light and medium-sized crossbows deployed by the Jingjue army at the west entrance of Nanjian gorge is 90, but in addition, more than 200 heavy catapult crossbows are deployed within the stone parapet, making the west entrance of Nanjian gorge seem like an iron needle hedgehog, so that even if the rebels have an advantage in military strength, they can''t do anything.


    After Zhang''s children retreated south to the south of Lukai gorge, Lucheng guards mainly focused on the four children surnamed Gu Zhou, Zhao Yang. Ye Qinglin granted four Suwei generals to the four clans. The four clans organized a small number of private soldiers and the city guard into an army, with a total of more than 6000 people, belonging to the Ye Royal Army and stationed in Nanjian gorge; Lucheng was officially taken over by the Jingjue army.


    This is also a condition negotiated at the beginning.


    The Jingjue army did its best to help Ye recover the country, but the area east of tieleling, including tieleling, was under the jurisdiction of the Jingjue capital guard.


    In the future, the clans with the four surnames can choose one city to govern in the area west of tieleling and in a land with abundant water and grass. This is a promise given to them by Ye Qinglin; Of course, they can also leave some clan children in Lucheng and retain some industries, but the children and industries left in Lucheng must be governed by the Jingjue capital protector.
