Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Yao has been the governor of Baihe County for three years.

The nearest White River City encountered some troubles.

Inside the Sheriff's Mansion.

Sitting on the grand master's chair, Zhang Yao casually asked:

"So, you can already confirm that they are coming for Baihe City?"

"right."

An old man in brocade clothes sitting below said repeatedly:

"According to the reports from the horse scouts, there are tens of thousands of rebels in that group, fully armed, and marching in this direction."

"At most three days, they will be able to reach Baihe City."

"It's not clear yet what the real purpose of these chaotic troops is, but they want to break through the city and loot it, or try to occupy the city as king."

"Is it……"

Zhang Yao tapped on the handrail, pondered for a while, and then said:

"Then, have you found out the origin of this group of rebellious troops?"

"Report to the sheriff, it has been found out."

A middle-aged man got up and responded respectfully:

"According to the collected information, they should have originally belonged to the northern Jiangzhou, under the command of Jiedushi 'Shi Yong'."

"During the heyday of Shi Yong, he occupied four counties and supported 100,000 soldiers. He was the leading military lord in Jiangzhou. It is said that he tried to make an idea of ​​Jiangdu a few years ago, but he retreated in the end."

"A month ago, Shi Yong led an army under his command to fight fiercely against Qinzhou's Jiedu envoy 'Mount Huo Luan'. As a result, he was defeated and suffered heavy losses. Both himself and his two sons died in the army."

"Shi Yong's power collapsed as a result, and Huo Luanshan hastily took over the territory. Most of the soldiers under his command fled to all directions. Some turned into bandits, and some took over the mountain and became kings. They harmed many people in the four northern counties."

Having said that, he paused for a moment before continuing:

"This chaotic army was reorganized by a guerrilla general under Shi Yong's command who took advantage of the chaos and collected many routs and deserters."

"Because of the large scale, they were afraid of being encircled and suppressed by the subordinates of 'Huo Luanshan', so they led the crowd to escape from the four northern counties, and went south to plunder all the way here."

"I see."

Zhang Yao nodded slightly, and said casually:

"Then, according to your agreement, we will recruit experts and reorganize the government soldiers, and actively prepare for the battle."

"When they are approaching the city, master, I will naturally take action."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall was immediately overjoyed, thanked and praised repeatedly, and their attitude became more respectful.

Frankly speaking, they didn't have much confidence in Zhang Yao's willingness to help, but the county guard, Mr. Zhang, was obviously more responsible than they expected.

With a grandmaster taking action, it would be a breeze for Baihe City to survive this crisis.

"Okay, back off."

Zhang Yao waved his hand, and the patriarchs of several aristocratic families, as well as the helmsman of Baihe of the Cao Gang, saluted respectfully and retreated one after another.

After everyone left, Zhang Yao felt a little emotional:

"It's been more than twenty years..."

"This Great Wei is obviously exhausted, but the chaos in the world has lasted for so many years, and there is no sign of it ending."

"Floral and town segregated, warlords scuffled, gangs ran rampant, bandits and rebellious armies emerged endlessly, and natural disasters such as drought and floods ravaged. The people of the nineteen prefectures are struggling to live..."

Chaos swept across the world, and even though he was a master, he was powerless to change everything.

What he can do is to protect the hundreds of thousands of people in Baihe City in this troubled world, and keep this pure land.

…………

Three days later.

The rebel army from the north approached the city, and the people in Baihe City were panicked.

The Baihe River is a tributary of the Lingjiang River, and the county town is adjacent to Baibo Lake. Since tens of thousands of water bandits were wiped out by the Cao Gang decades ago, Baihe City has not suffered a large-scale military disaster for many years.

The siege of the city by the army this time really made many people in the city extremely panic. The doors and windows of every house were closed tightly, and the streets and alleys were empty.

In contrast, the dignitaries of the aristocratic families in Baihe City are much calmer.

A large number of powerful warriors from local aristocratic families and Cao Gang sub-helms joined forces, and there were five thousand government soldiers preparing for the battle, and there was even a grand master leading the formation. They really didn't feel much pressure.

"Military discipline is strict and well-trained."

On the city wall, Zhang Yao looked down from a high position, looking at a large number of troops who were gathering to attack the city a few miles away.

The quality of this group of rebellious troops was second only to the border elite he had seen before, and these were routs and deserters after they were collected.

It is conceivable that Shi Yong, the Jiedu envoy in the north, is definitely a military general.

"about there."

Zhang Yao waved his sleeves and said lightly:

"Open the city gate and prepare to defeat the enemy!"

One order:

"Boom..."

The gate of Baihe City opened, and accompanied by the sound of solemn and powerful military drums, five thousand soldiers from the government lined up.

Right in front of the five thousand soldiers:

Many consummated and Dacheng-level warriors from major families and Cao Gang sub-helms formed a small army of warriors, led by a few top masters.

"A mere few thousand soldiers and horses, dare to fight head-on? It's beyond self-control!"

Outside the central tent of tens of thousands of rebellious troops, the guerrilla general in command and several staff members in the army couldn't help laughing at this scene.

Under their command, they are all soldiers and horses of the Jiedushi, elite veterans who have been fighting all the year round, and some government soldiers who have never experienced bloody battles. How could they look down on them?

Originally, they wanted to destroy the city, and there was still a bloody battle, but now they only need to defeat these chickens and dogs, and they can take advantage of the situation to enter the city and loot it!

"Beat the drum, charge!"

As soon as the guerrilla general issued his flag, the army immediately sounded dense drumbeats, and tens of thousands of troops maintained a tight formation and began to charge.

Such a tight and orderly military formation, from a distance, looks like a whole piece of iron wall slowly rolling over.

"The enemy is charging!"

On the side of Baihe City, many government soldiers had a little commotion, but there was no order from the peak, and they still stood still.

The leading masters couldn't help but look back at the figure on the city wall.

"Clatter..."

Zhang Yao was wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, standing with his hands behind his back, the sleeves and the hem of his shirt fluttered in the wind like a banner.

When he was a teenager, the scene he witnessed on the Changping city wall was deeply rooted in his heart, and now he finally has the opportunity to perform it himself.

Zhang Yao fell down the city wall lightly, and with a light step, he flew towards the tens of thousands of troops. The speed was so fast that only afterimages were left behind, and almost no one could see his movements clearly.

"What?"

The guerrilla general and several staff members who were watching the battle suddenly changed their expressions when they saw this scene from a distance!

As if they were reminded of some deepest nightmare, their expressions turned pale, and there was a hint of fear and disbelief in their eyes.

"Let the arrows! Let the arrows!!"

Dutong and Yingzheng in the army immediately reacted and ordered to shoot arrows.

All of a sudden, thousands of arrows were fired and fell like rain.

But it didn't help at all.

The sky was filled with black arrows, and they fell in unison. Just looking at this scene is enough to make people feel fear.

However, the overwhelming arrows cracked and broke several inches in front of Zhang Yao's body, as if hitting an invisible barrier, not even a single corner of his clothes could be pierced.

Thousands of arrows pass by, and the feathers do not touch the body.

"What kind of sorcery is this?!"

The soldiers and officers on the front line saw this appalling and impactful scene with their own eyes, their eyes widened and their breathing stopped for a moment.

At this moment, a certain belief in their hearts quickly collapsed, and the turmoil began to spread unstoppably. The soldiers charging forward involuntarily slowed down.

"Don't stand still! Keep shooting arrows!"

The frontline officer finally came to his senses, yelling and ordering, with an unconcealable panic in his tone.

But it's too late!

Before the frontmost column of the army had time to fire the second round of volley, Zhang Yao had already flew over and rushed straight into the army formation.
