Chapter 660 Surrounded

content

Obviously, the Guardian Corps did not have such powerful detection capabilities as the Pingzhou Army, and did not realize that the Pingzhou Army was not far away from them. However, the top executives of the Skitarii are not feeling well at the moment.

Xianbei's information transmission mainly relies on the flying eagle to send messages, and the speed is much worse than that of the communication stone. On the third day after Shang Ji captured Dragon City, Ke Bineng and the Guardian Army received the news of Dragon City's fall almost at the same time.

The guardian army immediately started to set off, and it took another half a month before they met the Shangji army.

However, the Guardian Army received the news that Dragon City was destroyed and the plague was raging in the tribal coalition forces two days ago. Faced with this situation, the cathars immediately fell into an embarrassing situation.

Half a month ago, the Patriarchs were so excited that they wished to fly to Longcheng immediately to kill those despicable Han people who dared to invade the Holy Land of Xianbei.

Charged all the way, returning to Longcheng at the fastest speed. As a result, they came to the entrance of Dragon City and found out embarrassingly that Dragon City was gone and the coalition forces collapsed.

Although the Guardian Army was confident, they did not dare to advance rashly in the face of the Pingzhou Expeditionary Group, which had almost the same strength and a strong record.

Of course, with the pride of the cathars, no one dared to suggest a retreat rashly. The entire army of 250,000 was deadlocked on the grassland like this, neither advancing nor retreating.

In the tent of the Skitarii commander, ten shaman priests and eight senior generals of the Skitarius gathered together to discuss the next countermeasures.

"Everyone, the current situation is already very serious. Whether we are advancing or retreating, we must come up with a charter as soon as possible for how to do things. If we drag it on, something big will happen!"

The shaman fire priest coughed lightly, stood up and said loudly.

"Is there anything to discuss? Didn't the high priest have issued a clear order? According to the high priest's order, avoid the Pingzhou army, return to Dragon City immediately, gather the broken soldiers to appease the herdsmen, all the priests are dispatched, and immediately start to control and eliminate the plague !"

The other chief priest glanced dissatisfied at the fire priest who spoke just now, and said in a cold voice. This person is Feng Ji, a loyal supporter of Quan Ji (dun).

Well, the stagnation of the teaching army is not simply due to fear of the Pingzhou army, but also involves a complicated power struggle.

As I said before, among the twelve chief priests of shamanism, except for the high priest who is the undisputed leader, the status of the other eleven chief priests is theoretically the same.

However, in the actual operation process, there will always be a higher one due to reasons such as qualifications, ability, personality, and strength. In fact, under the high priest, the vaguely first chief priest is the fire priest who spoke just now!

The Xianbei high priest is not hereditary, but elected by the twelve chief priests. According to normal circumstances, after the death of the high priest, the most likely person to take over the position of the high priest should be the fire priest. The qualifications of the spring priest are too shallow, and he is barely ranked third among the chief priests.

The high priest died in the city, and before he died, he passed the position of high priest to Priest Quan. This kind of transmission did not conform to the rules of Shamanism.

The ambitious Fire Priest, who is unwilling to be resigned to others, has always refused to recognize the status of Quan Priest, trying to replace it.

In addition, no matter how we emphasize the objective reasons, Dragon City was lost in the hands of Priest Quan and the High Priest, and this responsibility cannot be shirked.

Once the high priest died, he died in the city, and the Xianbei people would not hold him. But the spring sacrifices that came down from the "going away" are different. I don't know how many people clamored to kill the spring sacrifices to thank Xianbei.

There are also fire priests behind the scenes to fuel the flames,

The authority of Priest Quan was in decline in the Skitarii, and few people took his orders seriously.

Behind the expansion of ambition is the imbalance of strength. Huo Ji was originally the supreme commander of the Skitarii who went south to support Ke Bineng, but now less than 30,000 Skitarii are under the control of Quan Jiji, and the Temple Legion is almost wiped out. And the Fire Priest, who held 250,000 elite guardians, naturally gave birth to the ambition to replace them.

Although Fire Priest wanted to compete for the position of High Priest, he was not stupid. At present, the enemy is present, and the whole Xianbei is in a precarious state. If Xianbei dies, what use will the high priest of the Shamanism be?

Therefore, Huo Ji didn't dare to put the struggle on the bright side. On the one hand, he slandered Quan Ji's reputation behind his back, and on the other hand, he used his status as the commander of the Skitarii to clean up the Skitarii generals who were loyal to Quan Ji, weakening their influence.

Feng Jiji, who questioned Huo Ji's statement just now, is the most steadfast and highest-status supporter of Zhongquan Ji of the catastrophe.

I just heard him say: "If we don't follow the orders of Quan Jiji, what can we do? Fight with the Han army? If you can make up your mind, I am willing to take the post of pioneer!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced contemptuously at everyone present, his contempt was undisguised!

Although many high-level shamanists blushed with aggrieved hearts, surprisingly none of them refuted.

After capturing Dragon City overnight, the remaining 100,000 Patriarchs and 30,000 Temple Legion were almost completely wiped out. They managed to fight their way out of millions of tribal allied forces, and they didn't suffer too many casualties. This tough record frightened a lot of people, and made many Xianbei generals who were clamoring for revenge shut up.

"I didn't dare to fight, and I didn't want to follow the order of the high priest to go back to Dragon City to gather the rout. Could it be that you still want to go back to Ke Bineng and continue to work for him? We are the Shaman Cultists, not under Ke Bineng's command. Wanqi!" Feng Jiji continued.

Everyone continued to remain silent after hearing the words. Although Shamanism and Ke Bineng had reached a comprehensive cooperation agreement, it did not mean that the two forces really became one family.

Shamanism has been outside the secular regime since the Donghu period. The overlord of the grassland has changed three people, and the grassland Maodun has changed a lot, but the shamanism has maintained a revered position from the beginning to the end. A large part of the reason is that they do not interfere with the secular government.

Cooperating with Ke Bineng to jointly deal with Bu Dugen caused controversy in Shamanism no less than the fall of Dragon City. What's more, Ke Bineng's situation does not seem to be very dominant now, and Shamanism is even less willing to continue to wade into the muddy water.

Fire Priest looked at Feng Priest angrily, wishing to kill him immediately. It was precisely because of Feng Ji's troubles that the process of cleaning up the personnel of the Quan Ji faction was not smooth.

However, at such a moment of panic, it is obviously not a wise choice to kill a chief priest. Huo Ji calmed down, took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile and said: "Wind Ji's words are reasonable, the enemy is very powerful, we can't fight head-on with them. It's not in line with our usual purpose to be able to sacrifice our lives for Ke How about this, the army has been rushing all the way, the soldiers are very tired, we rest in place for five days, and then return to Longcheng to appease the defeated soldiers and control the epidemic. What do you think?"

People from the Fire Priest family naturally said yes again and again, and even the most critical Feng Priest was silent. Although he knew in his heart that the fire priest was probably playing some crooked idea, but the wind priest couldn't refute it.

It is my insistence to go to Longcheng to gather the rout soldiers to control the epidemic, so to refute at this time, doesn't it seem too unreasonable to make trouble!

"Since you all have no objections, let's set up camp first. Let's rest in place for a few days and go to Dragon City when the army recovers."

The fire priest got up and said cheerfully.

"I will obey!"

Everyone retreated one after another, and after a while, there were only a few confidantes of Huo Priest left in the big tent.

Seeing that there were only his own people left here, a Xianbei general immediately asked impatiently: "My lord, why are you going to Dragon City all of a sudden? When the time comes, the guy at the Spring Festival will use his title as the high priest to point fingers at us. What should we do?" it is good?"

"I have to go to Dragon City no matter what. If we don't go to Dragon City, what's the use of having more than 200,000 elite cathars? Although Dragon City has been destroyed, it is still the holy city in the hearts of every tribe. If you want to truly seize the position of High Priest, Dragon City will naturally have to go through it!"

After finishing speaking, Huo Priest sneered, and continued: "Quan Ji that bastard is nothing to worry about, we have an elite army of more than 200,000 troops, Quan Ji is weak, so why should we be afraid of an empty high priest who has lost his holy city?" ? I specifically asked to rest for five days, in order to further clean up the cataracts. Remember, in the past few days, take the time to win over the neutral faction and the people who worship the spring, and you really can't win..."

As he said that, a cold light flashed in Huo Ji's eyes, he raised his left hand, made a knife with his hand, and swung it down fiercely.

Several confidantes looked at each other, looked happy, and nodded excitedly.

After nightfall, Huo Ji's subordinates split up to find influential generals from the neutral or Quan Ji faction, and tried to lure them into their chariots and reduce the influence of Quan Ji.

However, what they didn't know was that the entire 200,000 Pingzhou Army had quietly surrounded them!

Shang Ji doesn't care what the difference is between the Guardian Army and the ordinary Xianbei army, in his eyes, they are all the armed forces of the Xianbei people, and they are all objects that need to be eliminated!

After investigation, it was found that the combat power of this catechist army is very impressive. The 250,000 troops are basically special arms, and the average combat power is around the fifth rank.

Seeing such a powerful military force, Shang Ji was also terrified. If the Patriarchs were faster and arrived before Dragon City was destroyed, and cooperated with the coalition forces of millions of tribes, it might really be possible to completely annihilate the Pingzhou Assault Group.

However, once the opportunity is missed, it will not come again. Without the cooperation of millions of Xianbei coalition forces, the Pingzhou army is not the opponent of the Pingzhou army alone!

The Pingzhou Assault Group was originally a carefully selected elite. After a long-distance raid of 20,000 miles and a life-and-death fight for half a month, nearly one-third of them died in battle, but the survivors were all fierce fighters. At present, the soldiers of the Pingzhou Assault Group are basically above the sixth rank, and more than half of the surviving more than 70,000 black-armored black knights have advanced to the seventh rank.

The comprehensive combat power of the Pingzhou Expeditionary Group far exceeds that of the Guardian Army, not to mention that the Pingzhou Army also has Liu Yi, the king of night battles.

Under Liu Yi's personal leadership, more than 10,000 ghost riders quietly approached the cathar camp, and Payne commanded the remaining 2,000 death knights and necromancers to follow closely behind.

Similar to Ghost Knight and Xingyao Bow, the undead army also has a combat power increase at night.

In addition, the remaining Pingzhou Army was evenly divided into four parts, and the encirclement was gradually narrowed under the leadership of six top generals.

The cathars have become the turtle in the urn! content
