Ancestor Above Chapter 485

485 A bold idea

Directly going west and attacking the Qin country was a very risky decision.

Attacking and defending were two completely different situations, and the risks faced were also different.

In defense, as long as there was a Dharma power guarding a certain spirit vein, with a group of cultivators assisting by the side, as long as the spirit vein's level was higher and the array was set up in advance, it would be very difficult to lose.

Unless the enemy had sent out four or five Dharma laksanas to surround and attack.

And in some extreme cases, even if there were no Dharma Masters on their side, as long as there were a few Yuanying stage cultivators, relying on high-level spiritual veins and arrays, it was not impossible to defend, even if that kind of defensive battle would be more difficult.

However, if it was an offensive battle, the situation would be completely reversed. A few Yuanying stage cultivators could block the Army led by fa Xiang, which was completely different from concept.

Moreover, if they were on the defensive, they could defend the spirit veins and strongholds as long as they had sufficient resources. During an offensive battle, because there were no spirit veins for cultivators to replenish at any time, they would need spirit stones and medicinal pills to replenish their energy. In this way, the consumption of resources would be greatly increased, and it would be several times more.

In addition, there would be more unexpected situations during an offensive battle. For example, they might be ambushed or attacked while they were advancing. For example, when the enemy's reinforcements suddenly arrived during an attack, such situations would occur.

In this case, the country of Liang would be taking a huge risk by taking the initiative to attack.

However, it was worth mentioning that they didn't take the initiative to attack because they didn't want to create any big battle results.

On one hand, after the war started in the north and south, the country of Liang could not just sit back and do nothing. It was still reasonable from a moral point of view, but it was the same even from the perspective of national interests.

If they didn't participate in the war now, were they going to wait until either Jin or Chu was finished before they joined the war?

That would be even more inappropriate.

However, since it was not good to send a large number of troops to the north or south to help the Allies to avoid a lack of internal strength, they could only take the initiative to attack.

There were two main targets for the attack.

The first was to restrain.

The second was to spread the flames of war to the land of Qin.

There was no need to elaborate on the first point. Out of the country of Liang's three Dharma laksanas, two of them led 50000 cultivators. They were a force that could not be ignored. If the Qin country didn't deal with it properly, they might really be broken through by the Liang country along the river.

Even if the state of Qin only wanted to defend, they would have to at least arrange for a Dharma expert to stand guard at the border of the two countries.

If they wanted to truly threaten the country of Liang's Army in a field battle, they would need at least two to three Dharma adepts.

As for the second point, it was also a very normal thought.

No country would want a war to break out on their own land.

If they could really take advantage of the Qin state's unprepared state to achieve some results to the West, especially if they could take down one or a few high-level spiritual veins, then rely on them to build a position, arrange a formation, and defend on the spot, then it would be equivalent to the Liang State planting a nail in the Qin state's land. It was still of high strategic value.

As for the risk, the people of Liang had considered it.

However, according to their evaluation, as long as they acted cautiously, had a better control of information, and adhered to the principle of not entering the depths alone, as long as they encountered a strong enemy, they would immediately retreat to the country and set up a defense line at the border.

……

The actions of the people of Liang achieved results.

On their way, they encountered an Army led by a Dharma Minister of the state of Qin. Liang Jun exchanged blows with the other party and gained a small advantage.

For a long time in the past, the people of Qin had been constantly provoking the people at the border and had also seized some territory. These territories originally belonged to the country of Liang. However, they weren't too important and had been abandoned in the past wars and conflicts.

However, since it was a territory that was abandoned by the people of Liang, there must be a reason.

There were no strategic resource points in these territories, not even high-level spirit veins.

Without a high-level spirit Meridian, it would be difficult to defend. This was the case for the country of Liang at that time, and it was the same for the current Qin Army.

The Dharma Minister of the state of Qin had even suffered some minor injuries in the battle. At the same time, the Qin Army had also left behind many corpses. The territory that the state of Liang had once lost had all been seized back just like that.

To the Liang people, this was a good way to vent their anger.

For a long time, the country of Liang had always been the passive party in the conflict with the Qin country. They had suffered a lot of grievances and felt very stifled in their hearts. This time, they were able to regain some face and it was also a great boost to the morale of the Liang Army.

However, Liang Jun also stopped in his tracks cautiously.

If he went any further, the risk would be greater. If they continued forward, they would enter a more important place in the state of Qin-Danzhou.

No matter what, the Danzhou city was a five-star Spirit vein. The Dharma idol who had fought against the enemy earlier led 20000 Qin troops to defend Chenzhou.

If it was in the field, it was not impossible for Liang Jun to win. Even if they had such a high-level defensive stronghold, if they fought seriously, with Liang Jun's current combat power, it was not impossible to take it down, but it would obviously take a long time, unless it was the enemy.

And as time went on, it was very easy for accidents to happen.

Without a place to retreat to, once the Qin Army quickly gathered a large number of troops, especially a few Dharma adepts, the entire Army might be wiped out.

No one wished for such a thing to happen.

The country of Liang's strategy was to face them off from a distance.

The armies of both sides, especially the main forces, were still quite far away from each other. At the same time, the Liang army split up. With a force of several thousand people per group, they scattered in all directions, leaving the capital of Chenzhou alone. They fought in other county-level cities and even some villages and towns below, wiping out the local Qin forces.

As for the main force, it was basically sitting still. The two Dharma laksanas were not easily mobilized.

This way, as long as the main force of the Qin Army in Danzhou did not come out, they would not have a good way to deal with the Liang Army, who were doing as they pleased in Danzhou. As long as they took the initiative to attack, they would be defeated by the country of Liang's Army. Especially if they dared to come out in full force and give them a chance, then the two Dharma powers of the Liang Army would definitely make their move and try to kill the Dharma power of the Qin State.

The people of Qin were also more cautious.

The Dharma plane expert sat in Danzhou city, unmoving like a mountain. However, there were small groups that were sent out to fight with the people of Liang. They fought for cities and small spiritual veins.

Just like that, the two sides launched a rather intense but not too large-scale battle around Danzhou.

In general, the people of Liang still had the upper hand. They had more people and their troops were more elite.

But after that, the war between the two sides gradually became balanced.

Wave after wave of reinforcements had arrived in the Qin country.

Logically speaking, the people of Liang should take this opportunity to send out their troops to besiege the enemy's reinforcements. On one hand, they would besiege the city of Danzhou so that the Dharma idol of the Qin country would not be able to move. On the other hand, they would send troops, led by a Dharma plane expert. If the Qin Army dared to come to Chenzhou to help, they would not be able to return.

Through such a method, he would definitely be able to gain a large number of heads and eliminate a lot of the Qin Army's forces. Furthermore, it would also be more effective in restraining the Qin Army. Unless the Qin Army sent a very powerful Army over, or even sent an additional Dharma plane expert, they would either have to give up on Chenzhou or turn Chenzhou into a constant bleeding point for the Qin country.

However, they did not dare to do so.

The fear in their hearts was still rather heavy.

If they did that, it would mean that they would have to break away from the protection of the high-grade spirit vein behind them. If they encountered a difficult situation, it would not be so easy to retreat.

To put it bluntly, he was still a coward.

In this way, the war between the two sides could be considered to have been fought back and forth. If they didn't dare to advance rashly, then they could only use the lives of the soldiers to fight.

The entire mi state had become a giant millstone of flesh and blood.

……

On the side of the country of Liang, after the war with the great Qin had officially started, a long battle line had appeared in the entire cultivation world from the north to the south. At the same time, the situation of the entire war had reached a balance.

Balance did not mean peace.

The most intense battle was in the North. Nine Dharma laksana realm cultivators gathered in the West of Jin. The number of cultivator troops from both sides exceeded 300000 and was still increasing. The large-scale battle had not started yet, but the intensity of the battle had not decreased. From time to time, there were even records of fights between Dharma adepts. Even if no Dharma adepts had fallen, this situation was almost inevitable as the war progressed.

The second most intense was the war between Chu and Shu in the South. The total number of troops invested by both sides had exceeded two hundred thousand.

The country of Liang had the lowest number. However, as both sides continued to increase their troops, the total number of cultivators they had invested exceeded 100000, and they continued to kill each other.

As time went on, the number of troops that the Yan Kingdom mobilized to participate in the war also increased.

The most important part was the northern battlefield.

The troops led by Wei Yun and the other three into Jin country did not exceed 10000. However, it was clear that this was only the advance party. Within two or three years, the number of Yan cultivators fighting in Jin had increased by 50000.

At the same time, they also dispatched a total of 100000 troops from the former Wei State and the current Qi state to the border of the Liang State and the Jin state. They were ready to send more troops to the two battlefields at any time. The person overseeing the place was the Yunxiao sect's new Dharma plane, who was also the Yunxiao sect sect master, han xuzi.

He had finally broken through successfully.

At this moment, the Yan Qi Alliance was already using all of their strength.

Of course, not all of the Army in the country had been deployed. However, all the Dharma stage experts had been deployed, except for the Emperor, Lu chaoxi.

……

Lu Qing only paid occasional attention to the progress of the battle at the front line.

The battle was intense, but the number of casualties on both sides was also rising. However, before a full-scale battle between the Dharma stage cultivators broke out and the power of the Dharma stage cultivators on both sides was out of balance, this situation of mutual killing and grinding of flesh and blood should not change.

And even if that happened, and it was their side that lost, it wouldn't be a big deal. It was nothing more than a complete shift in the battle situation to a defensive position, using the spiritual vein to form a defense line.

Of course, that would put them in a very passive situation, but at least they would be able to hold on.

Most importantly, after the war had begun, the news that had gathered from all sides showed that the so-called God King law had no intention of appearing.

That was good. Lu Qing still had time.

However, the two things he had that could greatly increase his cultivation speed were almost used up.

The seven-star [ gift of time ] and [ origin seed ].

He would have to find a seven-star time fragment to try.

……

Lu Qing raised his head and looked at the light in the sky that was crashing down like a shooting star. He could finally heave a sigh of relief.

This time, the time fragment was coming to an end.

The seven-star Fragment that he had entered had a very simple name: [ defend to the death ].

Before he entered, Lu Qing already knew what he was going to do just by looking at the name.

In fact, it was true.

At the border between the Wei and Liang kingdoms, Lu Qing was able to find one of the few seven-star Fragments that could only allow one person to enter. Moreover, the time needed was very short, only four days.

This satisfied his needs very much-single person, short time.

Some time fragments could be extended for a long time, such as one month, two months, or even one or two years.

Lu Qing did not dare to go to that kind of time fragment. After entering, whether he succeeded or not was still unknown. What if by the time he came out, the Yan Kingdom had already been razed to the ground?

There wouldn't be much of a problem in four days. Even if the situation happened to collapse during the period when he entered the time fragment, it would not be to the point where he could not be saved in just four days.

As for the time fragment itself, the moment Lu Qing entered, he was immediately involved in the most intense battle. There was no place for him to catch his breath.

He was at a six-Star Spirit vein where human cultivators had set up a line of defense. Several divine sea cultivators with more than double digits of Dharma idols were nailed there.

The ones who attacked them were the gods race.

The Army of the Celestials far outnumbered them. The most terrifying thing was that there was a Godking among the enemies.

The title of Godking was equivalent to dongxu stage experts. Within this line of defense, no one could fight against an opponent of this level.

They could only rely on the spirit vein and defend to the end.

Their goal was to defend until the fourth day. On the fourth day, there would be a human insightful emptiness realm cultivator who would be there to support them.

Lu Qing had achieved this goal. His ability was particularly well displayed at this time. The almost unlimited endurance ability allowed him to replenish his magic power in the defensive array as if it was free. He could be used by several divine sea cultivators.

However, even though the mission was about to be completed, Lu Qing looked at the battle between the insightful emptiness realm cultivator and the Godking in the sky. A bold and even slightly suicidal idea gradually formed in his heart.

This Tao Wu seemed to be a good opportunity to measure the strength of a God King and how strong he was.
