Shen Lie's team traveled ten miles south, and Lei Jingming caught up with him.
When everyone heard that Lei Jingming had been digging a tunnel for a month before escaping from home, they all couldn't help but laugh.
Niu Jin smiled and patted Lei Jingming on the back.
"Xiao Leizi, now I know what you are best suited for. You are suitable for leading troops to attack the city, and you are also the one who specializes in digging tunnels."
Everyone laughed, and Lei Jingming was speechless.
After he cleaned up the dirt on his body, Shen Lie gave him a set of dragon scale armor and a dragon blood horse.
I haven't seen you for a month, and seeing that all the brothers' equipment has been upgraded, there are thousands of people under their command, and even their cultivation has increased significantly.
Even Zhao Feng, who had a similar realm before, was one level higher than him at this time, and Lei Jingming couldn't help but beat his chest and stomped his feet.
Shen Lie gave him a few more dragon essence pills, and after instructing the dosage, he took out the divine arm bow he had used before.
"Brother Shen, are you going to use the divine arm bow for me?" Lei Jingming said in surprise.
He had already seen the dragon tendon bow on Shen Lie's back, and he heard that except for Shen Lie, only Shi Kai could open this dragon tendon bow.
Lei Jingming expressed his disbelief on the spot and insisted on trying his skills, but naturally he was laughed at by his brothers again.
Shen Lie said: "This divine arm bow has the power of three stones, which is just right for you to use now."
Lei Jingming's technique is the same as his own Minghuang Thunder Technique, and with the divine arm bow, it can greatly increase the power and range of his thunder and lightning arrows.
"Hey, thank you, Brother Shen!"
Lei Jingming immediately took the divine arm bow and couldn't put it down.
"By the way, Brother Shen, this time you have to arrange some troops for me and let me take them." Lei Jingming asked.
When he was in Liaodong before, in order to hone Lei Jingming's temperament, Shen Lie always let him follow him, starting as a soldier without a position.
Liaodong conquered the Jurchens, and Lei Jingming also made a lot of military exploits along the way.
Shen Lie thought for a while, and then said: "Then choose for yourself, do you want to continue to follow me and command the cavalry, or do you want to be a deputy to Shi Shi or Niu Jin?"
"Hmm..."
Lei Jingming curled his lips, "If you don't hit it, why do I want to be a deputy, I also want to lead a team of soldiers myself!"
Shen Lie smiled, "I only have more than 10,000 soldiers under my command, and there is nothing extra to divide, why don't you ask them to see if they are willing to give it to you."
As soon as Shen Lie finished speaking, Niu Jin and the others quickly shook their heads.
"Xiao Leizi, I happen to lack a deputy here, you and I will be together." Niu Jin persuaded.
Zhang Liao and Zhang Yuan also rode up and persuaded: "Come and follow us, the cavalry is so majestic."
Faced with everyone's persuasion, Lei Jingming just kept shaking his head.
"No, Brother Shen, can't you really give me some troops? Even if it is a hundred people, it will be done!"
Shen Lie smiled, "Why do you have to let me divide your soldiers."
"Otherwise, when you arrive at the Daming Mansion, you can recruit people yourself, and you will lead all the recruits, how about it?"
Lei Jingming raised his eyebrows and became interested, "This is what you said!"
"Once a word is spoken, it is difficult to chase a horse!" Shen Lie nodded.
...
Shen Lie led a team of 10,000 people to march quickly, all the way south, and arrived at the outskirts of the Daming Mansion three days later.
At this time, the previously frozen river water had thawed, and there were still some ice floes floating on the river.
After the team crossed the bridge, the city wall of the Daming Mansion was already faintly visible.
"Report!"
A scout horse galloped over.
"Report! General Shen, an enemy team appeared ten miles south of the Daming Mansion, with 40,000 people."
Shen Lie immediately said to several people: "These 40,000 people must be the vanguard team of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and they want to take the lead in taking the Daming Mansion before Daxia's reinforcements come."
Niu Jin smiled, "They probably didn't expect that our marching speed would be so fast, just to cut off our beard!"
"The first battle is crucial, everyone must not underestimate the enemy." Shen Lie warned.
"Yes!"
Everyone immediately clenched their fists in unison.
Subsequently, the team quickly marched towards the south side of the Daimyo Mansion, and all of them entered a state of combat readiness.
When the distance was only ten miles, the scouts came to report again.
"Report! General Shen, more than 1,000 cavalry led by Lord Zhang Liao, are fighting the enemy scouts."
Everyone listened to the news of the scouts and immediately cheered up 200% of their spirits.
"This first battle was snatched away by Zhang Liao." Niu Jin swung his hammer, already impatient.
Shen Lie immediately ordered the formation.
The formation slowly unfolded, and the whole army was led by Shi Kai with 4,000 infantry as the core, forming a formation and marching towards the imminent enemy army.
After the formation changed, tens of thousands of people of military formations were murderous, taking neat steps together, and even the earth shook together.
After a while, Shen Lie's soldiers finally joined forces with the Heavenly Sword Sect at the foot of the Daming Mansion.
The two armies were hundreds of steps apart under the city, both with guns and halberds like forests, and banners hunting.
Although there was silence under the city, the aura of killing had quietly spread.
The soldiers on the head of the Daming Mansion saw reinforcements coming, and immediately felt as if they had taken a reassuring pill.
Shen Lie immediately rode forward and looked at the formation of the Heavenly Sword Sect opposite.
I saw rows of soldiers in a strict formation, solemn and calm, and there was no panic at all when they saw the team appearing on the opposite side.
You can tell that he is well-trained.
"This Sword Sect really has a hand." Shen Lie couldn't help but sigh.
Shi Kai nodded, "Their armor and weapons look much better than ordinary Daxia soldiers."
"Within the five gates of the Heavenly Sword Sect, there is a soldier gate that is responsible for creating weapon armor, and presumably these armors are from the hands of the soldiers."
When the two sides looked at each other from afar.
I saw a group of people from the Heavenly Sword Sect's formation jumping out.
"Is the person who came Shen Lie?"
The roar of the leader resounded under the entire Damyung Mansion.
Shen Lie immediately rode forward, and the two sides were only a hundred steps apart.
"Under Shen Lie, I don't know who Your Excellency is?"
I saw that the man was tall and imposing, dressed in mighty general's armor, and sat on a tall black horse.
The man smiled, "What? Brother Baichuan and Senior Brother, I never mentioned me to you?"
Is this person Xiang Baichuan's junior brother?
Or is it the cultivation of the realm of divine origin...
Seeing Shen Lie silent, the man continued: "In the Lower Heaven Sword Sect General Ren Nantian, the seventh generation descendant of the Jinghong Sword."
As he spoke, he unsheathed the long sword in his hand with a clanging sound, and a clear sword suddenly swept over.
This is... Xiang Baichuan's sword?!
Seeing this, Shen Lie immediately frowned.
There are three famous swords in the Heavenly Sword Sect, in addition to the Yue Que Sword in his hand, there is also a Jinghong Sword to Baichuan.
These three swords are generally owned by the sect master, and the sect master often gives the sword in his hand to the next successor he chooses.
And the Jinghong Sword was actually in the hands of this person at this time...
That means that Xiang Baichuan has lost this qualification...
Shen Lie continued to ask: "I don't know how Lord Xiang is injured now?"
Ren Nantian smiled, danced a sword flower with one hand, and the sword was sheathed with a clanging sound.
"It's better to care more about yourself!"
Saying that, Ren Nantian waved his hand, and the drum sound immediately sounded behind him.
Tens of thousands of Heavenly Sword Sect soldiers immediately followed the drum sound and strode towards Shen Lie's military formation.
