Chapter 33: Sun Moon Gorge (2)

"Yes, Sun Moon Gorge. Mu Tianxiang said.

"Tell me what you think," Elder Zhou said.

Mu Tianxiang pointed to the map and said: "The natural dividing line between the secular forces controlled by the Bloodthirsty Gate and the area under our control is the Hengduan Mountain Range, although the Hengduan Mountain Range is not very tall, but the roads inside are rugged, there are many demonic beasts, and it is impossible for ordinary armies and yellow-level monks to cross it." Although the high-level monks can climb over, the risk of loss is also very large, and I don't think the Bloodthirsty Gate dares to take this risk. Even if you dare, the number of high-level monks is small, and the impact on the battle situation will not be great. ”

"The only road they can choose is the Sun Moon Gorge, and the detour is too far, not to mention that they can't have time for the ever-changing battle situation, and they must pass through the scope of other forces. I don't think the Bloodthirsty Gate has that much energy yet. ”

"After all, the Sun Moon Gorge is deep behind enemy lines, and under a sudden attack, it is not difficult to capture, but it is impossible to hold it. Hou Yueshan, the city lord of Monkey Head Ridge, said.

"Yes, it is impossible for us to send too many troops, after all, we still have to deal with the rebels of Fengyun City and Lijiazhuang, and if we send a large number of troops, the Bloodthirsty Gate will also be discovered in advance, and it will be even more impossible if it loses its suddenness. Ming Yuanfei, the city lord of the Famous Sword Villa, also said.

"The Sun Moon Gorge is more than ten miles long, the place that is really suitable for blocking is the middle section, the narrowest place here is only more than 30 zhang, and the strange peaks on both sides are steep and not suitable for climbing, which is conducive to defense. ”

"I led a new army of 60,000 people, and the city lords will give me some more monks, sneak into the Sun Moon Gorge in batches, seize it, and hold it for two to three months, I think the rebellion of Lijiazhuang and Fengyun City will not be able to hold on in the face of the onslaught of the city lords without support. ”

"Even if it fails, the loss of 60,000 people will not have much impact on the situation of the war. However, once we succeed, we can greatly change our defensive system in the future, and we will seize and firmly hold the Sun Moon Gorge, and then we will be able to attack, retreat and defend, and occupy the initiative in the war. Mu Tianxiang said firmly.

Mu Tianxiang's words attracted everyone, although it was a bit whimsical, but at such a small price, once successful, the harvest would be huge, and it could be said that it completely changed the unfavorable situation of the battle.

Elder Zhou said, "Mu Tianxiang, if you can stop the reinforcements of the Bloodthirsty Sect for a month, we will try to resolve this rebellion, and I will transfer another thousand monks to you from the alliance." Once successful, I'll report to the Alliance to get you a barrier-breaking pill to help you increase two levels. ”

The Barrier Breaking Pill, according to legend, can raise the two levels of a monk without any restrictions, or make mortals qualified to cultivate, which is invaluable. Mu Tianxiang has been stuck in the seventh order of the yellow level for almost half a year, and with the Barrier Breaking Pill, the hope of breaking through the Xuan level will be greatly improved. Mu Tianxiang was also excited.

"For this to be successful, the prerequisites must first be kept secret," Mr. Mu said.

"Don't worry, we know that only the five of us know about this matter here, and if I report it to the alliance, I will only know it with the alliance leader and the Supreme Elder. Several of you city lords also pay attention to secrecy, and those who leak secrets will be severely punished once discovered. Elder Zhou said.

After discussing the matter and agreeing to act in two days, the crowd dispersed.

Mu Tianxiang rode a horse, walking slowly on the street, and the heavy rain kept falling, rushing through the city. There weren't many angry shops on either side of the street, and the shopkeeper and a few regular customers were chatting at the door, looking a little flustered.

The breath of war had completely enveloped the giant city, a city of tens of millions of people, lost its former noise and vitality, and it was as silent as death, and people whispered news that they did not know, and then, like ripples, spread throughout the city.

The nearly one million troops outside the city brought no sense of security to the people in the city, and the news of the massacre of the city in Night City brought them a feeling of near despair, and the crisis came.

From time to time, I saw a convoy rushing by on the street, it was a rich family fleeing from this dangerous city, but the small people of Shengdou did not even have the qualifications to escape, the city had been completely taken over by the army, even if they could get out of the city, they did not know where to go in the vast world, only waiting, next to each other, hoping that their obedience would be exchanged for the mercy of the victor and gain a glimmer of life.

Mu Tianxiang returned to his mansion. "Tianxiang, is there going to be a war," the proprietress asked Mu Tianxiang nervously as soon as they met. The advent of war has inevitably challenged the nerves of everyone living in this city. The proprietress also learned more detailed information from the Ouyang sisters and brothers who returned to the house earlier.

"Yes, there is going to be a war, and I will go out in two days," Mu Tianxiang said.

"You also have to go, what role can you play as a yellow-level monk on the battlefield, we won't join the army, let's leave here, go somewhere else, we have craftsmanship, and we won't starve to death wherever we go." The proprietress said repeatedly.

"The troubled times are coming, it's not safe anywhere, and now there are so many children at home, where can they go. Mu Tianxiang said helplessly: "We can't escape for a lifetime, and there are some things to fight for." ”

"Do you want me to go with you, my medical skills are not bad, and I can help if there is anything. Ouyang Xiaozhi interjected beside him.

"Forget it this time, I'll talk about it later," Although Mu Tianxiang really wanted to set up a medical team in the army, and Ouyang Xiaozhi was also a suitable candidate, but this time he went deep behind enemy lines, and there were too many uncertain things, and it was too dangerous.

"Xiao Weaving, why didn't I hear you talk about your mother," Mu Tianxiang didn't want to say anything more, so he changed the topic, and Mu Tianxiang still wanted to figure out some things.

"I am a half-brother with Xiaotian, my mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me, when I was eight years old, my father saved a girl, and the woman lived with her father, and gave birth to twins a year later, but three months later, my mother and sister suddenly disappeared, and my father searched for many years, but to no avail, and died of depression. ”

"Before I die, let me take care of my younger brother and possibly find my mother and sister. I have also inquired in many ways in the past few years, but there is no news," Ouyang Xiaozhi said: "Brother Mu, do you have any news." ”

"No, I just haven't heard you talk about your mother, ask. Mu Tianxiang replied.

"Ahh

To tell the truth, Mu Tianxiang has a headache, he is an ordinary monk who is in danger, but there are a group of little monsters gathered around him, and they are all little monsters who can't see the light, and the pressure is great.

Two days passed in a flash, arranged the trivial things at home, refused the unreasonable request of Hu Bing and Ouyang Xiaotian to follow, and in Mu Lingzhu's resentful eyes, Mu Tianxiang set off with the dragon knife.

The group armies composed of the First and Second Armies were replenishing the shortage of non-commissioned officers and a large amount of supplies, and were advancing along the muddy roads in an unknown direction.

For everyone, they are guessing the purpose of this lone army, without the protection of the towering and thick city walls, without the support and cooperation of friendly and neighboring troops, once an accident occurs, the whole army will be annihilated. Even if most people are still calm and calm, they don't know how to be apprehensive in their hearts.

"Mu Tianxiang, where are we going and what are we doing? It seemed to be aimless, constantly changing the direction of the march, and after two days of rapid marching, Shangguan Jin couldn't help but ask.

This world is already vast and sparsely populated, and the arrival of war has caused thousands of miles of uninhabited people. And this world doesn't pay much attention to reconnaissance, Mu Tianxiang constantly changes the direction of the march, avoiding towns and villages, and if he can't avoid it, he will coerce the whole village to follow the army, and Mu Tianxiang still can't do the slaughter of the village.

Now it looks like the effect is not bad, less than two hundred miles away from the destination, for the army of this world, it is half a day's journey.

"Today we are resting in Pine Ridge, where are we, I will tell you about our purpose this time. Mu Tianxiang said.

"Little sister, my father said, this operation is very critical, pay attention to confidentiality, all actions are up to Mu Tianxiang, don't ask more. As an elder brother, Shangguan Qingyun said.

"The gods don't know what to do, the enemy is coming, just kill them, and defeat them," Shangguan Jin's thinking represented the thoughts of most generals and soldiers in this world.

The heavy rain that had been raging for nearly ten days finally stopped slowly. After arriving at Pine Ridge and setting up camp, when Mu Tianxiang said the purpose of this time, a group of turtles were stunned. Of course, this does not include a group of gentlemen led by Ma Tiejun.

"Brother Mu, to be honest, I admire you for the five-body throw, such an important task, only our new army can accomplish," Ma Tiejun, who was full of achievements and let his old man see it, patted Mu Tianxiang on the shoulder and said.

"Tiejun, shut up," Shangguan Qinghe said, "how can we hold on, and at least for a month." ”

"That is, don't look at the dangerous terrain anywhere, but the city wall without the depiction of the talisman can't be defended at all. Shangguan Haoyun also said.

"Tianxiang, I don't know how you and your father discussed it, it's too risky. If we fail, we will die with no place to bury. Shangguan Qingyun also said.

"Not to mention a ground-level monk, even a high-level monk at the Xuan level can easily destroy a defensive position without a talisman. Mu Tianxiang, your level is not enough, and you may not be very aware of the destructive power of the senior cultivator. Shangguan Jin also added.

Stopping everyone, Mu Tianxiang said: "Why do you do this, I also told you just now, this is the only way to win in danger, and we have to believe in our soldiers." Believe in yourself, as long as we unite and overcome all difficulties, there is nothing that cannot be done. Mu Tianxiang said.

What the People's Liberation Army in the previous life could do in a place called Shangganling, why can't it be done here, Mu Tianxiang is full of confidence.

Mu Tianxiang stood on a boulder, looking at the killing in front of him, he couldn't believe that he had taken the Sun Moon Gorge so easily.

After resting for a night's rest, Mu Tianxiang led most of the army composed of monks at dawn, disguised as a caravan, and raided the Sun Moon Gorge. At such an important pass, the defenders were only more than 2,000 people, and the monks were less than five, and the defense was very lax, and the various follow-up measures made by Mu Tianxiang were useless at all. Directly annihilated the defenders.

Victory came so easily, Mu Tianxiang knew that the real test was whether he could hold on for at least a month, and hoped that this total annihilation would buy him three days to re-establish a complete set of fortifications.
