The traditional intelligence detachment was led by Li Sanyuan, and the engineering unit with advanced equipment and special summons was led by Shen Kuo.

In the early morning of the 27th, Xie Haoling set off with the main force, but he did not take advantage of the night to act, and the troops he marched were brightly lit, illuminating everywhere he went as if it were day, which could not be more open.

Xie Haoling is not a Guangzhengwei person, but the more conspicuous they are, the better the intelligence forces can act, the smoother their next battles, and the better they can win their military exploits.

"As always. Xie Xuanguang smiled and sighed.

The Wei troops who built a city near Mengshan did not retreat because of Xie Haoling's advance, or made any big moves, they just faithfully carried out the originally scheduled garrison tasks.

"My lord, I'm afraid there's a trap here. Wei Rui reminded again, of course, the object became Xie Haoling.

Of course, Xie Haoling and the elders knew Wei Rui's origin, but they kept it secret from the general generals, and it happened that during this time, the eastern part of Heluo was merged into the Xie family's forces, and Wei Rui naturally had a legal "origin". Exposure is a matter of time, but first Wei Rui must show his outstanding talents, and others will seriously investigate and pay attention to him. So far, Xie Haoling has only brought him with him, and has no intention of giving him an important task.

In Wei Rui's opinion, Xie Haoling is far better than Xie Haoran as a boss.

"I don't think so. Xie Haoling bit his lip fiercely, "Those guys are looking down on me." ”

The situation may really be as Xie Haoling said, from the moment he chooses to build a city, any act of giving up halfway is destined to suffer heavy losses, after all, the city cannot run.

But why run?

As long as it's not a swordsman, what's so terrible about the Xie family, and what's there to be afraid of in the Song army?

But even if he was extremely angry, Xie Haoling still would not rush forward recklessly - this is not talking about the actions of the army, but the way of fighting.

Stopping ten miles outside the city, building a Shuhai base, and then summoning soldiers to attack it, Xie Haoling did all this step by step.

The Wei army showed a combat quality that was much higher than that of the ordinary ancient Mongolian army, in the face of a large group of summoned troops, they did not panic, nor did they rashly attack to attack the base, they used the outer wall of the city built in a hurry to carry out ordinary city defense battles, and repelled the Xie family's summoned army again and again.

The battle turned into a war of attrition.

"Damn, what are those guys doing? Don't you look down on me?

Xie Haoling scolded, but he was only unforgiving, but in fact, he had no intention of attacking at all.

No, to be precise, it is not consumed to the point that he can attack the city, and he will not act rashly.

Yes, it seems to be a war of attrition now, but their side is consuming mana, and the other side is consuming lives, and when they are twice as many as in the city-

"That's too slow, and if the head of the house knows about it, he will stop us if he doesn't come. Xie Xuanqian reminded him.

"Of course I know!" Xie Haoling yelled irritably.

In fact, on the first day, all the generals under his command, including the middle officers at the regiment commander level, spontaneously put forward a battle plan, but they were all quickly vetoed by Xie Haoling.

Because he was too impulsive, too reckless, too brainless, he wanted to win, but he didn't want to lose, he didn't want to lose when he was ready.

The failure of the original conquest of Liu Tian was the ...... of his life One of the countless shames, he doesn't know how many more times he will be humiliated next, but he won't let it go, and he won't get used to it!

Even if he returns in vain in the end, Xie Haoling will not act rashly!

"Your Excellency. ”

Seeing Wei Rui coming up, Xie Haoling suppressed the irritability in his heart as much as possible.

"What's the matter? You have a good plan? Come quickly, if I adopt it, you will definitely not be less credited. ”

"I feel like we should harness the power of nature. ”

……

Xie Haoran's order arrived on the 29th, but he himself did not come, because this time Wei and Liao responded to each other and launched attacks in Linyi and Yingzhou respectively.

The territory is that the Liao State in the area of Puyang in Yanzhou deliberately launched an operation through the Mongolian Shangqiu City, and it is also a comeback battle of the Duke of Ice Dragon, no matter how you think about it...... It's a pity that this first order was issued without knowing that Xie Haoling was attacking, Xie Haoling glanced at the content of the order, and continued to wage a war of attrition against the Wei army.

"I didn't disobey the military order, the content of the order is to let the defenders everywhere stand still and be vigilant, but we have already attacked, it is impossible to stay here and wait for the enemy to attack, right?"

Xie Haoling was undoubtedly quibbling, but no one intended to be disobedient, because they also wanted to take down the enemy. It's a pity that in the high-level combat effectiveness of the Wei State, they only have a slight upper hand, and they can't take down the enemy in the short term.

Wei Rui watched all of this quietly, occasionally going into battle to lead a wave of summons to attack to a certain extent—not because of confusion, but because his strategy was not adopted.

In fact, it is not a ploy, he just says his personal preference for the way of fighting.

"Man is incomparably weak, and naturally ...... The power of the system, Gaia, is far more powerful than ours, and it is everywhere and never stops, and we humans should be better able to rely on the power of nature when we live in the world, right?"

Having said this, there are definitely quite a few people who agree with it, but those people probably only think about "exploiting" and "conquering". Wei Rui does not deny that the essence of "reliance" he thinks about is also a kind of "utilization", but it is still very different in details.

For example, a person like Xie Haoran who destroyed the world with a sword may be regarded as a conquest, right? But it is only a temporary conquest, and it is short-lived, and it will naturally return to its original state in the end. And then it is like Xinlan to attract the power of heaven and earth, and finally turn into an incomparably powerful sword...... This can be regarded as a use, but Wei Rui feels that the dominant person is still a magician, and the requirements for individuals are too great.

Or rather, relying too much on traditional strength and skill...... And these are exactly what most people lack.

Besides, in a world where the hard power of strength and skill is honored, there is no saddest thing for people who have no experience and knowledge, right?

He who is about to be a seventh-order high-level, in this war, is also insignificant, and he does not even have the qualifications to make Xie Haoling pay attention.

He is good at discovering the advantages of others, and he is also very clear about the gap between himself and others.

With strength and skill alone, he could never have done anything.

But if he had been willing to do so, he wouldn't have come here.

Since he is unwilling, he can only find a way to break the monopoly of power and skill.

Or, to create something that a philistine like him can do.

On the 31st, the battle still did not improve, but Wei Rui's tent ushered in an unexpected person.

"Meet Elder Xie. Wei Rui bowed respectfully.

In the Xie family's army, which is rich in family color, characters like Xie Xuanguang prefer others to call him "elder" rather than the name of his position or adult...... Of course, even if you don't pay attention to this, it's nothing, but Wei Rui is the one who does.

After the two of them sat down, Xie Xuanguang quickly explained his intentions.

"The tactical ...... you proposed earlier"

The war was unfavorable, so even though the initial proposal was rejected, many people came up with "new" policies one after another-

Yes, in the past few days, Wei Rui has submitted the same strategy. Xie Haoling was disappointed, but Xie Xuanguang was interested.

"Why do you do this? Confidence? Or ......"

"Returning to Elder Xie, of course I have confidence, but it is more important to get your attention. ”

People who don't think about standing out will never be noticed, Wei Rui thinks.

"You did get my attention, but you have to hand in a satisfactory answer to my satisfaction, or ......"

Xie Haoling's biggest problem now is that he trusts his own judgment too much, so that many plans that may succeed are buried, and Xie Xuanguang, as his supporter, naturally has to share his worries.

This concern, of course, includes making senseless harassers disappear.

"And rightfully so. ”

Wei Rui, who had been prepared, took Xie Xuanguang to the hillside outside the camp.

"Actually, what I want to do is very simple, after mastering it, I can change anyone to do it. ”

"Just like the dragon has reverse scales, and if you touch it, you will die, naturally there is a balance point, usually we break the balance point by mistake, so Gaia consciousness will come out to sanction us, but if we can accurately destroy that point, is it guaranteed to trigger Gaia consciousness?"

"Of course, Gaia's consciousness does not distinguish between friend and foe, but is there any other balance point? such as causing natural disasters, causing climate change, triggering changes in the leylines, and so on......

As he spoke, Wei Rui, who was standing at the top of the slope, looked down a little.

"It's ......"

Feeling this sudden tyrannical wind, Xie Xuanguang's eyes widened.

"I call this 'Nature's Fury.'" Wei Rui spread his hands and showed it all.

Show yourself.
