The battle of "driving away the rats" was an unexpected success, and the loss of personnel was not very large, about 2,000 people, and Mu Tianxiang was still acceptable to this casualty. The key is to basically take the undamaged Weihu Mountain, and seize a large amount of materials, especially military rations, which is very important for future development.

"The whole army was very happy, and the morale was high. Geng Biao said with a smile.

"Li Muran's tactics are still very successful, the key is to be able to understand the development of the entire battle situation, take the military rations that are vital to us, the combat ideas are very clear, and the future is immeasurable!" Tang said with no regrets.

"The main credit for this is the secret weapon of the pastor, and I personally have nothing. Li Muran said modestly.

Mu Tianxiang stood on the city wall, looked into the distance, pondered for a while and said: "The loss of the city defense of Weihu Mountain is not large, except for the east city wall that was blown up by us, the other three city walls are basically intact, ask Liu Zongwei and Elder Liu to arrange for someone to repair the defensive formation on this side of the city wall." In this way, the integrity of the city's defenses can be maintained. ”

"Also, Li Muran, you have made a lot of credit this time, but you can't relax, you give the task of defending Weihu Mountain to Shangguan Invincible, your next move is to lead people to quickly clean up the remnants of the enemy and bandits in the mountains behind us, and to ensure the absolute safety of our defense area," Mu Tianxiang said.

"Geng Biao, for the displaced people who have been accepted, after Li Muran has cleaned up the remnants of the enemy and bandits, we must quickly settle in this area, and start production as soon as possible, especially the cultivation of grain, we cannot rely on purchases for a long time, and we must be self-sufficient in food. ”

"Mr. Mu, when there is more chaos near Shangguan City, can we attack forward again and occupy some cities, after all, the front is all plains, which is conducive to farming," Tang Buregret said as he looked at the endless plains in the distance.

"It's too chaotic near Shangguan City, and there are too many forces involved, it's a quagmire, so let's not fall into it. Mu Tianxiang said with a smile: "Our future development direction is not in Shangguan City, but in our south, the original scope of Tianfeng Country. After years of conquest in that area, many places have been deserted, and not many people pay attention to it. ”

"In the future, Weihu Mountain will be used as a transit station for us to accept merchants and a key city for defense, and the location is still very critical, so this repair must be paid attention to, and Liu Zongwei should not save materials, and pour all his strength to strengthen the city defense, only a strong city defense can deter the enemy. ”

Mu Tianxiang's thinking is still very clear, his current strength as a monk is still too poor, once he attracts the attention of others, he is powerless to resist at all, and his hard work is likely to be ruined, after all, the combat effectiveness of the army is strong, and most of them are only composed of ordinary people, in the face of the attack of monks, especially senior monks, everything is a floating cloud.

Before the weapon is further developed and the strength of the monk he has mastered is not raised, everything has to be low-key, take your time, Mu Tianxiang thought with a long sigh.

The Weihu Mountain City Lord's Mansion has now temporarily become Mu Tianxiang's office and meeting hall.

"Li Muran, you commanded this battle very well, and you grasped many details very well. "Everyone else has gone out to run errands, after all, they have just occupied Weihu Mountain, and there are still many problems that need to be solved and dealt with. Mu Tianxiang left Li Muran alone.

Li Muran hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "All this is the command of the general pastor and the lives of the soldiers below, and my personal credit is insignificant." ”

"Sit down, sit down and talk," Mu Tianxiang waved his hand to let Li Muran sit down and said: "Strategically, I may think more than you, but the specific tactical use and immediate battle command and grasp of the battle situation, you do better than me, it should be yours, others can't grab it, you don't have to be too modest, your immediate battle command is recognized by the entire group army." ”

Li Muran smiled apologetically and said, "This is all taught by Mr. Mu. ”

"This is talented, Tang Buregret is a little worse than Hao Jun and Geng Biao in this regard, and it is still not possible to command the battle independently," Mu Tianxiang said with a smile: "The main reason for leaving you here is to talk to you about the construction of the army and its future development." ”

"Mr. Mu, what do you mean?"

"We are now trapped in this small valley and temporarily settled, but if we want to make a difference in the future, we still have to go out, but our strength is still much worse, and once the situation is misjudged, it will be a catastrophe. Mu Tianxiang stood up, paced to the window, looked at the mountains outside, and said with a long sigh.

"Li Muran, what kind of cultivation are you doing now?" Mu Tianxiang turned around and asked.

"The Xuan level is high-level, and if you want to break through to the ground level, you still need a certain opportunity. Li Muran said gloomily.

"The strength of our monks is too poor, and the ones available now are Shangguan Invincible, Geng Biao, Ma Tiefeng and a few others, and those Tianji are just like goods, which are terrifying. Mu Tianxiang laughed self-deprecatingly: "I am still at the yellow level now, and I don't know when the breakthrough will be at the Xuan level." ”

"Li Muran, if your current cultivation encounters ordinary soldiers on the battlefield, how many people can you defeat alone?" Mu Tianxiang paused and asked.

"If it's an elite composed of yellow-level monks and ordinary people, about a hundred people are fine, and if there are more, the mana won't be able to keep up. It's hard to say about the ragtag army, because they may just run away and won't put up any decent resistance. Li Muran thought for a while and said.

"I took a look at this battle, and with the cooperation of more than a dozen of our soldiers, we can defeat the enemy monks," Mu Tianxiang said.

"Our soldiers are systematically trained to resist and withstand the rate of loss of casualties. Li Muran said: "If I face our well-trained army, fifty people is my limit, after all, the consumption of mana is still very large, if a monk does not have mana, in addition to being physically strong, he is almost like an ordinary soldier." ”

"Tell me more about that. Mu Tianxiang said.

"Compared with ordinary people, yellow-level monks have a longer lifespan, but the main thing is that they can feel the aura in the air and can absorb the aura for cultivation. But the main thing to cultivate is the bones and muscles, so that they are stronger and able to withstand greater blows. Xuan-level cultivation is the skin and meridians, and in the presence of mana, ordinary people's attacks cannot harm themselves. ”

"The main difference at the prefecture level is that in addition to the meridians and root bones being stronger, it can release vitality and attack and protect itself remotely. The main thing in the sky is that it can stay in the air, soar between heaven and earth, and be faster," Li Muran said simply.

"In other words, a Heavenly Pole monk can destroy an army. Mu Tianxiang said.

"Theoretically, yes, but in practice it's not realistic. After all, a person's mana is limited, and when the mana is exhausted, it can still be killed by ordinary people. Li Muran said with a smile.

"The monks of the Heavenly Pole can fly freely, and when I feel that my mana is insufficient, I can run, and I can come back when my mana is restored. Mu Tianxiang didn't know much about these high-level monks, so he asked.

"A monk of the heavenly pole, the aura needed for mana recovery is very huge, it is impossible to recover without ten days and half a month, although it can be restored with the help of some heaven and earth spiritual objects or pills, but these things are relatively expensive, and the pills have erysipelas, and if you take a large amount of them for a long time, it will have a great impact on your future cultivation, so no one will use it unless it is a last resort. Li Muran explained.

"Moreover, the army also has its own set of methods for high-level monks, such as for the Tianji monks, the general elite army has a forbidden sky talisman, once the Tianji monks can't soar, then the people will grind you to death. Li Muran said with a smile: "There used to be two monks from the Heavenly Pole who easily broke into the army and wanted to kill the generals and capture the flag, but as soon as they were controlled by the forbidden sky talisman, it was tragic, and in the end, although they killed more than 10,000 people, they were still killed. ”

"Killed more than 10,000 people?" Mu Tianxiang was startled.

"Compared to the Heavenly Extreme Cultivators, this effort is worth it, after all, every Heavenly Extreme Cultivator is a pillar of a sect and a kingdom. Cultivating a Heavenly Extreme Cultivator consumes a huge amount of resources, and with these resources, you can easily form an army of millions. Li Muran said indifferently.

"In the situation we are in, we can't afford to pay these costs. Mu Tianxiang lifted his forehead and sighed.

"Our soldiers have been systematically trained, and their combat effectiveness and resistance are stronger, if a monk of the Heavenly Pole is surrounded by us, I am sure that with only two or three thousand people, I can kill the monk of the Heavenly Pole. Li Muran said.

"We only have 50,000 or 60,000 people now, and these losses are also hurtful losses for us, so let's avoid them as much as we can. Mu Tianxiang said helplessly: "Tell Ma Tiefeng that no matter how much they pay, they must find a way to purchase a batch of forbidden air talismans, just in case." ”

"Also, the attributes of a monk's cultivation are generally gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and these five attributes complement each other and at the same time restrain each other. But when I saw the training in the army, I didn't seem to pay much attention to it. Although I have emphasized it a few times, it doesn't matter to you, what's going on?" asked Mu Tianxiang.

"I'm a fire attribute, although it's a bit awkward to fight with a water-attribute monk, but I don't feel like it has much impact, and the final victory depends on whose mana is behind it, and the attribute of Xiang Ke doesn't seem to have much impact. Li Muran said with a smile.

"No, the problem is not like this," Mu Tianxiang said solemnly: "If we train according to the attributes, even if our personnel losses are reduced by one percent, and the enemy's losses are increased by one percent, here is two percent on the outside, which doesn't look big, but we will develop in the future." The battle experienced may be a million-level battle, which is not a small two percent, and with good training, I think it is more than that. ”

"Mr. Mu is right," Hearing Mu Tianxiang's analysis, Li Muran was also suddenly surprised, and paid attention to this matter: "I will arrange someone to implement it when I come down." ”

"Don't do a large-scale popularization first, find 5,000 people to test it first, seriously sum it up, and finally conduct a drill with the army that has not undergone training in this area to see what the results are. Mu Tianxiang admonished.

"Yes, you must pay attention," Li Muran is a fanatic, and when he has a goal, he wants to leave in a hurry.
