Fish swimming around the world

It has to be said that the Guardians are really strong. The Dark Army has been carefully selected, but the individual combat power is still no match for the Guardians. Often three for one.

At this time, except for Jiang Fan and Ji Zongyi, no one expected that the 20,000 Dragon Guardians and 5,000 Luxi Army would catch up and launch a fierce siege on both sides without asking any questions. In the end, the remaining more than 2,000 Guardians were outnumbered and all killed. The two great saint-level commanders were also killed by Qianye, Jiang Yan and Jiang Huan respectively.

However, as the core combat power of Taiyue, the Guardians also let Jiang Fan see their strength and loyalty for the first time.

If there were no early deployment of 3,000 people and countless masters in the army, I don’t know how exaggerated the losses would be. The Guardians can also do one for three against the better-equipped Dragon Guardians, and they can actually fight ten against the Hanba Army. This is simply too terrifying.

What is even more frightening is that no one surrendered, and almost every guardian shouted "The Holy Land is safe" when they were dying, and they died together with the enemy.

The core guard force that Taiyue invested countless resources to build is indeed frightening.

Of course, at the same time, the Dark Army did not escape the siege of the Luxi Army, and finally escaped by threatening the Emperor Ming, but the remaining number of people was less than 100.

With the help of Qianye, the Princess of Chen State escaped by chance, but the opponent's master kidnapped the Emperor Ping and the Dragon and Tiger Master during the escape. The remaining 80% of the men were also killed and injured in the process of the rear guard, and finally had no choice but to escape into the mountains.

Jiang Fan also saw the style of the Dark Army for the first time. They seemed to have no fear, and their bodies and lives did not seem to be their own. They rushed silently, and even if they lost their legs, they would crawl towards the enemy, like evil spirits returning from hell.

If it weren't for the elite Hanba Army and the Dragon Guard Army, ordinary armies would have no chance at all. They were able to exchange one for three Hanba Army and one for one Dragon Guard Army, which was amazing.

Jiang Fan deeply felt that he had underestimated the enemy this time. This battle was different from the battle of the imperial court coup. Jiang Fan truly felt that in the top armies of this powerful martial arts world, equipment was important, but not the most important, because individual martial arts were too strong. He finally understood why his brother-in-law was reluctant to use Lishan weapons and had to build a strong military will.

But this awareness improvement cost the lives of 6,000 people. Despite the support of countless strong men and the unexpected attack, the loss was still more than 6,000. It was a naked bloody lesson. So overall, he felt that there was nothing to be thankful for in the results of the battle, but it should be a warning.

He couldn't stop to sum up the experience and lessons at the moment. He immediately organized an elite team, stripped off the clothes of the dark army corpses and put them on. He disguised himself as Qian Ye and led his troops to rush in a certain direction. Judging from their lightning speed, they were all top-notch warriors.

Not long after, a fierce battle took place in a certain place. Three thousand against five hundred, but the fight was extremely tragic. Fortunately, the other side saw that it was the dark army led by the young army leader, and it was at the moment of handing over to Emperor Ming and Taiyue Zunlao. They were caught off guard, otherwise they might not be completely wiped out.

This battle also allowed Jiang Fan to see the true strength of Bingfu Zunlao. The dragon and tiger true body roared with blood and qi, like a diamond dragon elephant, invincible.

This is a strong man far stronger than ordinary earth immortals. Jiang Fan estimated that he had reached the peak of enlightenment and was the same as Lu Ya and Ling Yun.

What surprised him even more was that his father had made progress. He was a great sage before, but it had only been a short time since he had already entered the Dao halfway. His combat power was extremely terrifying. Even though he was not as good as Xiang Chen and Feng Chen, he would be as famous as them in a short time if he continued to progress at this rate.

Of course, it was Jiang Fan himself who surprised Bingfu and Ji Zongyi. How could he be so strong? Others were at most unreasonable, but he was completely unreasonable. Even if he had a rocket on his butt, he could not catch up with his cultivation speed.

In the end, with an absolute advantage, 500 dark army soldiers were killed, four escaped, and the biggest leader was captured alive. Jiang Fan had seen the portrait. This white-faced gentleman was the military advisor who had led people into Yangdu to plot against the mortal residence and finally escaped from the hands of the empress.

It was a pity that the dark army leader was overly cautious or had some special circumstances. The Human Emperor as bait failed to lure him out in person. Jiang Fan even suspected that it was probably because the contemporary imperial court was really shabby and the weight of the Human Emperor had been reduced too much.

However, as Qianye said, he is the emperor after all, and he has attracted many powerful people and high-ranking people. Their death is a major blow to the Dark Army.

As for the four who escaped, it was not that Jiang Fan let them go on purpose, but it was just right. They could give back this battle to the army lord, because Jiang Fan showed a different cultivation from Qianye in the final stage, and could further testify for Qianye. In addition, with the testimony of Princess Chen and others, Qianye should not be overly suspected. He needs to keep this unstable factor in the Dark Army, which may be useful in the future.

As for the army lord's suspicion of how they knew where these people were, it was left to Qianye to explain. It was just right that the explanation was unclear, and the internal conflicts would be caused. Jiang Fan would like to see it anyway. However, it is very likely that Qianye has already thought of a countermeasure, otherwise he would not agree.

Therefore, in the end, Taiyue's conspiracy against the imperial court ended with Taiyue losing 3,000 of the most valuable guardian guards and two commanders, the Dark Army losing 3,500 elite soldiers, and an important military advisor being captured.

Not to mention the Dark Army, the three thousand law guards are enough to make the four old guys feel distressed. Taiyue has a total of eight thousand, and countless resources have been invested in training them. Each of them has a high level of cultivation and is loyal. They are the core force of Taiyue, and their status is equivalent to that of Taihua's six thousand inner gates.

Of course, Taiyue also had a big grudge with the Dark Army because of this. This transfer of blame to Jiangdong was a very significant gain for Jiang Fan.

As for Fengchen, there was no evidence to doubt, after all, he implemented the strategy according to the three elders.

Although Jiang Fan was not very satisfied with this result, he could not do more, which was acceptable, especially since this military advisor was obviously very important, and he might get a lot of useful information from him.

The only bad thing was that the white-faced military advisor had been in a state of suspended animation since he was captured. Jiang Fan had no choice but to wait for the old guy to come back.

The last question was whether Taiyue would learn from the lesson and dare not move the imperial court in a short time, or whether he might take more drastic measures. It was hard to be sure.

So Jiang Fan discussed with his sick husband and father and immediately retreated to Baicheng. Anyway, the work in Yancheng was done.

Ji Zongyi said that he would wait for some time. He had a plan to have the Luxi Hanba Army stationed in Yanjing. In this way, Jiang Yuchun would own a city in addition to the Luxi family. From the geographical conditions of Yanjing, it was completely suitable for building a strong city, which might be of great use in the future. At least it would give the Luxi Jiang family a place to defend when a war broke out.
