Chapter 10: Attack and Defense
A day ago, Dongfang Chengyu had just sent off his son and Jun Zhuo and his party, and was pondering how to deal with the next wave of beasts in the main hall of Lionheart City, when the soldiers guarding outside the palace suddenly walked in quickly, and his excited expression seemed to have something important to repay.
And after reading the letter fold he presented, Dongfang Chengyu's facial expression also changed greatly, and he hurriedly stepped out of his seat and walked towards the outside of the palace, and the retainers behind him could only follow him for unknown reasons, Dongfang Minglu was not with Ye Yuchen and Jin Misong today, so she also followed the steps of the head of the family and walked out.
And when she walked to the edge of the outer wall of the palace and looked down, she was surprised to find that below their Lionheart City, there were twenty phalanx troops standing neatly, judging from the logo of their banner, it should be the Situ family's people, but this army of at least 300,000 people, how could it appear in this place?
Dongfang Chengyu looked at the people at the front of the army below, and finally showed a relieved smile on his face, he hurried down and opened the city gate, even if you are the head of the family, he still saluted Situ Yuxin, and Situ Yuxin, as the quasi-heir of the next head of the Situ family, such a courtesy is not too much.
Different from the army in full uniform behind her, Situ Yuxin was still wearing a daily simple dress, seeing Dongfang Chengyu personally open the door to greet her, she also hurriedly stepped forward and returned with courtesy, "The younger Situ Yuxin led the two armies of the Situ family" Tianji and "Yuheng" to come to support and meet the master of the Dongfang family. ”
"Hey, no courtesy, I've heard Jian Mo say that you will come, but I didn't expect to bring so many troops, it's really a great help. "In the case that the soldiers he secretly sent out to ask for help were all sniped and isolated, the soldiers of Lionheart City have been lost most of them after several waves of baptism, and the other families must have known that something unusual happened here, but they chose to wait and see, and Situ Yuxin was able to lead a large army to support at this time, which was simply a great help to him, not to mention "Tianji" and "Yuheng" The two armies are the best of the seven armies of the Situ family, with Yu Xin's help, the possibility of defending Lionheart City has greatly increased, if it is not too hasty, Dongfang Chengyu feels that it is not a problem for the two families to form an alliance here.
"We are both from the Spirit Domain family, and we should help each other, but by the way, what about the head of the family, Jian Mo?"
"It's really unfortunate, not long before you came, I went to the upper floor of the Tianshan Mountain with me and a few others to investigate the situation. "For Situ Yuxin's question, Chengyu is not surprised at all, the relationship between her and Jian Mo is almost spread between the three domains, although I don't know why such an excellent Yu Xin would be so determined to look at a disciple of the Chu family's outer pavilion, but after contacting Chu Jianmo, Cheng Yu also felt that Yu Xin's choice was not bad, but it was a pity, if she didn't belong to Fang Xin, Cheng Yu wanted to introduce Cheng Feng to her.
"Is there another Tiandu envoy?"
"Ehn, yes. ”
"Oh, that's okay, family master, let's go into the city, I brought the stargazing prophecy of the Situ Elder Association for this area, time is pressing, we have to arrange tactics. ”
"Okay, please come in, Minglu, and take these generals to rest in the southern territories. ”
In normal times, if 300,000 people are added at a time, even Lionheart City cannot be accommodated in an instant, but in this special period, there are still free places in Lionheart City, and the 300,000 army also has a place to rest.
"Yes. Dongfang Minglu walked out from behind, respectfully saluted Situ Yuxin, and at the same time, he was also secretly looking at this woman who made Chu Jianmo dream, she is very beautiful, but there are many beautiful women in this world, this alone cannot attract people like Chu Jianmo, Situ Yuxin has such a very unique temperament, that seems to be wrapped in thousands of years of Xuanbing layer by layer of eyes so that Minglu can't understand, maybe she is not deeply involved in the world, but she really can't figure out the slightest weakness of Yuxin, maybe usually Yuxin will also have something to fear, but this temperament makes Minglu feel that Yuxin is facing tricky dangersThis calmness and composure may be the key to guiding hope.
She is a girl full of miracles, Een, Minglu can only give a preliminary definition of Yuxin after thinking about it.
"Thank you for your kindness, but we don't have time to rest, at midnight, you lead the army to stop here, and I'll come back to arrange it soon. ”
Situ Yuxin politely declined Dongfang Chengyu's kindness, turned to a black-robed man riding a black horse and wearing a half-masked mask behind him, Midnight has always been dressed like this outside, although it is a little different, but in her feeling it is better than being seen with her feathers.
"Well, please. Seeing Situ Yuxin like this, Dongfang Chengyu realized that the time for the Situ family's prophecy seemed to be very urgent, and the Situ family's divination has always been known for its accuracy, so Dongfang Chengyu did not adhere to etiquette, and waved his hand to signal Situ Yuxin to go to the main hall.
The current Lionheart City is strictly the site established by the Dongfang family when they first established themselves on the Tianshan Mountains, and it has been used as a military training place in normal times, and there are not many people, so the overall city looks a little dilapidated, and the main palace looks slightly better.
After climbing the city wall and entering the palace, Situ Yuxin did not delay, and with a drag of her right hand, a silver-white spirit array floated out in the palm of her hand, and then shattered, showing a star chart in the middle of the palace.
"The Flame Beast and its army will arrive here in twelve hours, so we must complete all the defensive formations within ten hours. ”
"Firebeast... It should still be sealed. "The information brought by Situ Yuxin surprised Dongfang Chengyu, if all these visions are related to the resurrection of the flame beast, it can only mean that the Morin Gate has been destroyed, but except for the Dongfang family master and priests, no one can enter and exit the Morin Gate, not to mention that it is still made of...
"The Demon Emperor has something to do with this?"
Situ Yuxin shook his head at Dongfang Chengyu's conjecture, but he didn't directly deny this possibility, "I can't be sure about this, but the astrological signs do show that there is a seal inside the Tianshan Mountain that has been destroyed, if it is the Demon Emperor's doing, then the power of the Situ family alone is not enough to decipher his past and future." ”
said so, but Yu Xin's meaning is actually very biased towards the possibility of the Demon Emperor's actions, after all, in these three domains, there are very few people who can't even catch astrological divination, and the people related to the Morin Gate, the Demon Emperor's suspicion is undoubtedly the greatest, but Dongfang Chengyu is puzzled that the Demon Emperor obviously has a contract agreement with the Dongfang family, and it was also the flame beast that he personally sealed at the beginning, how could he release the flame beast now.
Dongfang Chengyu also knew that this was not the time to care about the possibility of the Demon Emperor at this moment, the breaking of the seal of the flame beast was a huge crisis that endangered the Dongfang family and even the entire Tianshan Mountain, and how to resist their attack was the most important thing.
"Yuxin, what are you going to arrange?"
In terms of seniority and position, Dongfang Chengyu is much higher than Situ Yuxin, but in terms of arranging troops, Situ Yuxin, who can be known as the "first person" in the Situ family, which is full of strategists and talents, will be the most important commander in the next battle.
"I looked at the terrain along the road as I went up the mountain, and I was going to use the abandoned ruins on the outer layer to build a seven-layer defense, and I needed to arrange the defense structure inside the city with the master of the house. ”
In the mid-air spirit array transformation picture, Situ Yuxin transformed her idea into the most direct concept map and presented it in front of everyone present, explaining her defense concept to everyone one by one, it can be said that Yuxin's set of tactics has used everything that can be used now to defend, and others can't think of a way to optimize it.
"However, if we keep defending, our food reserves are a little insufficient, the legion of the flame beasts is not as edible as the spirit beasts in those beast tides, and we may not be able to consume it in a defensive battle. Of course, some people raised questions about Yu Xin's plan, not deliberately finding faults, these most realistic things must be solved, so this person named Dongfang Xuanqing also boldly got up and raised his own questions.
"We don't have to defend for too long, just wait for reinforcements. ”
"Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements?" Dongfang Xuanqing didn't understand, if there were reinforcements, they would have come a long time ago, but now the other families were clearly waiting, in this case, which force would come to support the Dongfang family?
"When Jian Mo and Chengfeng come back, they will bring the army. ”
The few people who reacted very quickly in the scene reacted to Yu Xin's meaning, if it was a spirit beast in the upper layer of the Tianshan Mountain, it was really a force to be reckoned with, but the spirit beast in the upper layer of the Tianshan Mountain and the Dongfang family have always been in an antagonistic relationship, how could they come to support themselves, but looking at Yu Xin's determined appearance, could it be because it was Chu Jianmo, so she could be sure that Jianmo would be able to complete this task?
The next thing was to mobilize the soldiers of the whole process to build a defense line together, and some people who were still suspicious of the imminent attack that Situ Yuxin said also felt the danger with the increasingly gloomy sky over the Tianshan Mountains and the extremely unstable spiritual power in the air, and accelerated into the construction of the defense line.
The available combat power of the Dongfang family is two million, and one million of them are elite soldiers who have survived the war, and in addition to these two million, the troops recruited and mobilized from the people are about 500,000, plus the two elites brought by Situ Yuxin, this is already a very powerful combat force, and before the battle begins, everyone is full of confidence in this defensive battle.
In the ruins of the outer layer of Lionheart City, Yu Xin deployed 100,000 soldiers on each of the seven layers of defense line she arranged, and their main task was to thwart the enemy's initial sharpness, and as the main city of Lionheart, Dongfang Chengyu also opened up the weapon inventory, which was deployed by Dongfang Minglu, and Yuxin was responsible for arranging the wartime rotation order.
And at this time, Bai Mocheng, who was an idler, was with Jian Yao, sitting in a closed tea shop on the side of the street, looking boredly at the soldiers coming and going outside the door, she was not interested in all this, if she didn't have to wait for Xin Yue and Qinghuan here, she might have left.
"Sister Mocheng, you said that it is so dangerous outside, will something happen to the young master?" Chu Jianyao looked at the street outside worriedly, the increasingly dignified atmosphere in Lionheart City made her deeply uneasy, and she had nowhere to go, so she had to confide in Mocheng.
"With that white hair, it's hard for your young master to have an accident. "For Chu Jianyao's worries, Mo Cheng didn't care, she didn't even know where the upper limit of Xiao Junzhuo's strength was, and she even doubted that there was an existence in these three domains that could defeat her, so unless Xiao Junzhuo was very playful, it was still possible for Jian Mo to make them suffer, but if he couldn't keep the four of them, then Mo Cheng would definitely not believe it.
"Do you know Xiao Junzhuo's strength, can you tell us what level it is?" Xue Tianci couldn't see Xiao Junzhuo's strength clearly due to his own strength, but Mocheng was different from them, in his opinion, Mocheng and Junzhuo belonged to the same level, so he wanted to know Mocheng's evaluation of Junzhuo.
"I can't say for sure, but I'm sure that of the three realms, there won't be more than that number that can stop her. Bai Mocheng had a right hand, and five fingers were erected in front of Xue Qianci, making his surprised face even more funny, Mo Cheng dared to make such a big evaluation and said that he couldn't make up his mind, that Jun Zhuo's strength was too terrifying.
"Okay, don't be so surprised, I'm saying this because the current Three Domains are too weak, and there are few combat power that can be seen at all. Bai Mocheng's words were not a joke, but she really felt so, back then, the Spirit Race, as the top of the world as the eight major races, relied on such a small force as now, there is no reason to develop more and more backward, what happened in the history of the Spirit Race, it is really strange.
"I found you, everyone is so busy, you are really idle. Ye Yuchen's voice sounded from the direction of the door, and the three of them motioned for him to sit down, only to find that he was followed by a quiet and well-behaved girl, who had seen the previous game, so everyone remembered Jin Misong's appearance, and after saying hello again, Xue Tianci made a place for the two of them together.
"Hmm, little ghost, you two are right?" Bai Mocheng looked at the two people seated and joked curiously.
"No, Mi Song and I were just discussing spiritual arts, because I couldn't figure it out because I had a problem, so I came to ask you. In the face of Mo Cheng's ridicule, Ye Yuchen also hurriedly defended, anyway, Mo Cheng didn't believe his words anymore, and nodded casually.
"Say, what's the problem. ”
"That's right..."
Although Bai Mocheng's attitude is not very good, but as the questions that the two have been thinking about for a long time and even the unsolved problems recognized by Sungjun have been inspired and answered in Mocheng's seemingly casual words, Jin Misong's gaze gradually turned into worship, she had worked so hard to learn spiritual arts in order to prove that her strength could be stronger than many male disciples of the Jin family, and now she met a genius who was also a girl and had such a profound knowledge, she even wanted to apprentice directly, but when she made her request uneasily, she was unceremoniously rejected by Bai Mocheng。
"I... Can't you?"
"It's not that you can't, it's me who can't, it's too troublesome to protect one more person, you can ask me if you have any questions in the future, just forget about apprenticeship or something. ”
"That's... Okay, Mo Cheng, how old are you this year, what should I call you?" Mo Cheng's appearance was too much like an underage child, but the profound knowledge she showed was like an old monster who had lived for countless years, and Jin Misong was confused by the address to Mo Cheng.
"Sixteen years old, you can call me Sister Mocheng. ”
In fact, Mo Cheng said this, except for people who know about her past, she can't see the clue at all, because the time flow on her body has really not been unsealed for a long time, no matter what kind of spiritual skills are used for testing, she is now a girl who has lived in the world for sixteen years, but in fact...
"Sixteen years old..."Not to mention Jin Misong, everyone present couldn't believe that such an existence whose strength and wisdom were at the peak of the Three Domains was just a sixteen-year-old little girl, this is too much, compared to her, those so-called geniuses have lost their faces, okay!
In the strange atmosphere of joy and sadness in the teahouse, the defense of the outside city is also in full swing, nine hours, an hour faster than Yu Xin's expectations, all the fortifications and personnel have been arranged in place, so that there are two more hours for Yu Xin to deploy and optimize on the spot, after the cumulus clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, even the ordinary soldiers who are ambushed in the fortifications feel an extremely strong dangerous aura, which is more obvious and terrifying than a few hours ago, making people shudder.
This anxious waiting atmosphere was completely broken by a blue beam of light falling from the sky, and in the eyes of hundreds of millions of people below, including civilians, this blue light moved from the upper level of the Tianshan Mountain to the foot of the mountain, in the outer city of Lionheart City in its original heyday.
"Okay, the first step plan has been successful, the outermost troops, ready to attack, retreat immediately after three rounds!" In the main palace of Dongfang Chengyu, a phantom model of the Tianshan Mountains was unfolding in the space in front of Situ Yuxin, and everything that happened in the outside world at this moment was also displayed in this realistic phantom, when the blue beam of light crossed the sky above Lionheart City and moved to the designated position as planned, Yuxin knew that the spirit array that had taken her brother a whole month before coming had successfully played a misleading role, avoiding the worst situation of the other party directly teleporting to Lionheart City to kill, and then, it was up to them to see if they could block the opponent's frontal attack!
With a raise of his right hand, the army fortified in the ruins at the front had already encountered this rumored "Fire Beast Legion", from the blue light that was stagnant between heaven and earth, countless red dots ran out of it and displayed on the screen in front of Yu Xin, and among the twelve spirit arrays floating beside him, there was suddenly a voice of reporting, which was the first to encounter the "Fire Beast Legion" The soldier leader was asking for an order to attack.
"Wait. Continuing to stare at the red dots that kept gathering forward, Situ Yuxin was not in a hurry to give the order to attack.
"Report, the other side sent a team of nearly two thousand to break away from the large force and rush towards our position, do you want to attack now?"
"Bait, let everyone hide themselves, don't be discovered by them, let them pass. Situ Yuxin calmly gave the command order, but no one would have thought that the source of the judgment of this order was not Situ Yuxin, but the judgment made by Situ Yuxin, who was far away on the mountain behind the Qixing Peak of the Situ family, running the Tianxing Platform and completely presenting everything that Yuxin observed in front of him, and then the spirit array of communication secretly told Yuxin how to give the order.
This is a perfect double reed play, Situ Yuxin's acting skills are very good, even Dongfang Chengyu beside her didn't notice the abnormality, "It's now, the first echelon and the second echelon, and at the same time carry out the first round of arrow rain attacks in front of you." ”
Accurate timing control, so that those red dots that crossed the first cordon all disappeared, and those who stood too far in front of the first layer of the cordon were also directly nailed through, "Defense, the next two waves of attacks are thirty seconds apart, the second echelon does not act, and the first echelon retreats quickly after completing three rounds of attacks!"
The Flame Beast Legion, which was caught off guard, reintegrated with a very quick response, they thought that after the reconnaissance of the vanguard sentry just now, there was no enemy in front of them, so they could use a long distance in front to integrate the army, and by the way, more troops could come out of the blue light, who knew that they were overshadowed, and they quickly integrated the vanguard They directly chose to release their extremely destructive fire arrows to clear the obstacles ahead.
After a full twenty seconds of indiscriminate bombardment, the sea of flames formed on the ground made the soldiers hiding in the ruins suffer heavy burns even if they had the protection of the spirit array in advance, but fortunately, there were only dozens of people killed, and after silently counting thirty numbers in their hearts, they directly withdrew the spirit array, and re-shot a new round of arrow rain along the direction of the inclination angle of sixty degrees, penetrating all the archers in front who were waiting for the flames to dissipate, and after quickly completing the offensive action, the spirit array on the armor of everyone's left arm unfolded again, and everyone fell down, waiting for the next round of attack。
Situ Yuhe watched all the changes on the battlefield closely, he was the direct commander of this battle, this was the first time he commanded such a large-scale battle, his plan would decide the life and death of those soldiers, which made him have to carefully choose the best solution before telling his sister.
He is not a hard-hearted person, although he can easily kill his father and grandfather, but it is only because everything they do is based on the family that makes Yu Hate feel cold, and even the only sister who really cares about him has to be used by them as a bargaining chip for the family, so he moved to kill.
He is a person who respects life, even if it has nothing to do with him, as long as it does not offend him, he will not use it regardless of loss like using chess pieces, he does not agree with his sister to consume the Situ family's disobedience to their forces on the battlefield of the Dongfang family, this is their leader's duty but it should not be theirs, but his stupid sister will not listen to his own opinion in this regard, and he can't force his own sister, he can only love and protect the innocent them as much as possible, even if this matter is very difficult...
"Withdraw!"
The third round of arrow rain had just risen into the air, and the order from Situ Yuxin's voice was directly transmitted to the armor of each soldier, and they quickly dropped the quiver and bow on their backs, and evacuated the ruins, and with the last five seconds of their thoroughness, a new round of explosive arrow rain came back, just thirty seconds Situ Yuhe pinched a time to reintegrate the team, after the new team attacked, they would definitely not wait for the formation to be complete and attack directly, so Yuhate's order saved a large number of soldiers, in the ruins, only fourteen people died because they were accidentally burned by arrows because they were hiding and were accidentally burned。
But this is not the end of it, when the Carrots found that no matter how they attacked, the opponent would no longer fight back, they instantly realized the fact that the opponent had retreated, and regrouped and marched forward.
"Seven... Six... Five... Four... Three... Two... One..."
When Situ Yu silently recited seven numbers in his heart, the quivers and longbows that were left in the ruins by the soldiers exploded directly in the center of the team marching by the Fire Beast Legion, and the violent shock wave swept through all the lives in the central part, and with the arrow rain attack of the second echelon, all the Kailo who stepped over the first ruin footsteps were killed.
