Chapter 122: The Battle of Huangshi Village (Finale)
The reason why Liao Huayu and Ma Xiaoke dared to do this was mainly because of their trust in the soldiers in the army, the soldiers who died in the previous stage were mainly recruited in the past, and those who can survive now are basically elite soldiers who have been trained for at least three years or who have been brutally eliminated, and the elite soldiers in the remaining surrenders.
The truth is cruel, survival of the fittest is the only law of nature. After the baptism of war, the officers below the regimental level who survived these classes had relatively high tactical literacy. It can be said that every regiment can fight a small battle without changing chaos, which is also the confidence of Liao Huayu and Ma Xiaoke.
The two discussed the details again, and then each led his troops and prepared to go.
"Something is wrong, huh?" said Tang Xiaoyu, the general of the Tang State of the Bloodthirsty Gate Alliance.
"You also found out?" said Li Wanqiu of the Manyun Empire, who had gathered together.
"Yes, after the fight in the past two days, I found that Liao Huayu's army obviously does not have four or five hundred thousand people, I think it is at most 100,000 people. "Tang Xiaoyu is also a general who has fought for decades, and he still has some experience.
"Two days? It's been four days, and I don't know what Chi Lianhong thinks, three million people are facing hundreds of thousands of people, and they are still cautious, and it took two days just to arrange the encirclement. At that time, it should have been a thunderous blow, maybe the battle would have been over. Han Sheng of Jin Guo complained.
"As the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, General Chi Lianhong also does not want to repeat Zheng Yunxiao's mistakes, and hopes to fight steadily and strangled the enemy within a radius of dozens of miles......," Zhou Liyun of the Red Blood Empire explained to his marshal.
"Although Liao Huayu's army resisted fiercely, the number of people participating in the battle each time was very limited, and they rarely took the initiative to attack, which is very different from Zheng Yunxiao's statement, I think they are undermanned...... Tang Xiaoyu said.
"yes, I feel that way, too. ”
"I'm afraid that there are not many people in Huangshi Village now, and Liao Huayu may have divided his troops......"
"Where will the division of troops go? There is no more critical place than Huangshi Village within a radius of thousands of miles, and it doesn't make much sense for Liao Huayu to occupy a city, the battle here is over, and the army can be wiped out......" Han Sheng was very puzzled.
"Zhou Liyun, didn't you talk to Chi Lianhong?" asked Tang Xiaoyu.
"Having said that, General Chi said that Liao Huayu was accumulating strength and preparing to fight us to the death in the central area, and General Chi told us not to ......be careless," Zhou Liyun said.
It's not out of the question, and everyone is no longer talking. Anyway, the results will be seen in two or three days at the latest, and this time is still waiting.
......
"Deputy Marshal Ma, I can't hold on anymore!" Li Heiwa threw a cigarette to Ma Xiaoke and said.
"Are you afraid?" Ma Xiaoke lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and asked with a smile.
"I'm afraid of a ghost, it's already enough, if it weren't for you holding back and not letting me attack, I would have taken my division to attack yesterday......" Li Heiwa complained.
"Our goal is not to destroy as many enemy troops as possible, but to drag the enemy here, and I guess Liao Huayu should also make a move. Ma Xiaoke said with a smile.
"Tell me, what did General Liao Huayu do?" asked Li Heiwa with great interest.
"Secret!"
"I really don't want to talk to you people, and you are still keeping it secret at this time?" Li Heiwa said with a look of disdain.
"Li Heiwa, if you don't die this time, you may be promoted to the next level, and you will be the commander of the army in the future, you have to pay attention to these rules!" Ma Xiaoke is very optimistic about Li Heiwa, she is not afraid of death in the war and has brains, although her cultural quality is not high. He kindly reminded.
"I know, I'll talk about it when I can survive......" Li Heiwa didn't think that she could survive this time, after all, she was surrounded by an army of three million, and there were no reinforcements, so the hope of survival was very slim.
"General Liao has gone to Matou Mountain, live well, we still have a chance to ......" Ma Xiaoke looked at Li Heiwa's depressed appearance, and finally said.
"Matou Mountain?" Li Heiwa looked confused, not knowing what this place was.
Ma Xiaoke nodded, stood up and looked in the direction of the Red Blood Empire.
......
The big tent of the Chinese army in the bloodthirsty gate!
"Report!"
"What's the matter?" Tang Wanzong asked.
"Liao Huayu attacked Matou Mountain, the defenders are in a precarious situation, and they are no longer able to resist, so I specially invite the army to come back to help, otherwise Matou Mountain will not be covered!" said the soldier.
"Bang!" the big tent didn't know how many cups had been broken.
"Ridiculous, there are millions of troops stationed in Matou Mountain, how many people does Liao Huayu have? How can it be dangerous?" Tang Wanzong rebuked loudly.
"It's also possible!" Zhao Fenghu, who was shocked, waved his hand to let the soldiers go out and said.
"How could it be? Matou Mountain has a million troops, and there are tens of thousands of monks, how many people does Liao Huayu have, and it is still the attacking party, Matou Mountain is well defended, and it is definitely not something that Liao Huayu can eat...... "Tang Wanzong did not believe it.
"A few days ago, the young master traveled around the Red Blood Empire, and he felt that it was very majestic to travel with a large army, and the surrounding troops were all drawn by us, so the young master transferred 880,000 troops from Matou Mountain to accompany him!" Zhao Fenghu explained.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Coach Pang Ruhai spurted out a mouthful of old blood. It's over, it's all over......
"Didn't I think that Matou Mountain was in the rear, and there was no danger, and it was enough to leave more than 100,000 people, so I didn't say ......" Zhao Fenghu also realized that the problem was serious.
"Then the Chishui Kingdom is still not fighting?"
"Hurry back to the army to rescue, once it's too late, then everything will be over......"
......
"Silence!" Pang Ruhai shouted: "Elder Zhao, if we hold on for a few more days, the Chishui Kingdom will be within reach, and now the withdrawal of the army will not only be wasted, but also the loss will be great......
"If the land is lost, you can get it back in the future, if the soldiers are lost, you can recruit again, Matoushan will never allow it to be lost!" Zhao Fenghu's words shattered Pang Ruhai's last illusion.
"That is, withdrawing the troops now is nothing more than losing some land and soldiers, Matou Mountain is fundamental, and ...... must not be lost," said the surrounding generals.
It's a mess in the tent!
Attacking Matou Mountain is the goal that Ma Xiaoke insisted on, and the steady Liao Huayu did not support it at first, first, because the road was farther, and secondly, he thought that he was not very sure. In the end, at Ma Xiaoke's insistence, he had no choice but to agree.
Matou Mountain is not a strategic location, but it is the source of the largest spirit stone mine controlled by the Bloodthirsty Gate.
The cultivation of monks requires a large number of spirit stones, and once there is no stable spirit stone mine, the foundation of a sect will be unstable, so in the face of the safety of the spirit stone mine, the territory and soldiers are all floating clouds.
The Great Tent of the Flowing Cloud Sect!
"Report!"
"What's the matter?" asked Zhuge Hongyun as he looked at Tanma. Now Zhuge Hongyun is also very anxious, the battle has been unclear, and the consumption of the Liuyun Sect is also very large.
"There was a sudden chaos in the enemy camp, as if they were about to withdraw, and they were very panicked!" said Tanma.
"There is such a thing!" Zhuge Hongyun was overjoyed.
"It can't be a trick by the enemy, is it?" said someone.
"No, the young master hurriedly sent someone to prepare for an attack!" Mu Tianxiang said categorically.
"How can you be so sure?"
"Liao Huayu may have surrounded the young master of the Bloodthirsty Gate! He wrote to him before that the young master of the Bloodthirsty Gate was nearby...... "Mu Tianxiang didn't tell the truth, Ma Xiaoke's plan Mu Tianxiang also knew, and didn't think that there was a chance of success, but depending on the situation, these two bold guys actually got things done!"
The reason why Mu Tianxiang didn't say that he was besieging Matou Mountain was because he was afraid that once the Liuyun Sect learned that it was possible to occupy Matou Mountain, he would ignore the order of Liao Huayu to take it even if he died.
It can be said that as long as Matou Mountain is taken, the Liuyun Sect can exchange all the kingdoms under its control without hesitation, this is the value of the spirit stone mine in the eyes of the sect!
Of course, the young master of the bloodthirsty gate is not far from Matou Mountain, even if there is an error, it is also excusable, after all, the position of a young master is also very critical, no less than the value of a kingdom. But there is still a gap compared to the Lingshi mine, and it is very large.
The interests of Matoushan can make the two sects fall into a bottomless confrontation, unless one side is completely destroyed, which is not in the interests of Mu Tianxiang. Therefore, Mu Tianxiang had some concerns, so he was reluctant to say it clearly, and he was not afraid that the Bloodthirsty Sect would finally spread it everywhere, after all, the spirit stone mine under his control was in a desperate situation, and that would be too big a blow to the reputation of the sect!
"Tell Ma Xiaoke and Liao Huayu to join forces together, quickly blitz the Ice Empire, don't capture the city, retreat to the vicinity of the Liuyun River, and I will ask Liu Miaomiao to take them back to Tianfeng City!" Mu Tianxiang, who walked out of the big tent, said to Hao Jun.
Fighting wars and pursuing the commanders and generals of their own countries, Mu Tianxiang can't intervene, and he is happy and free.
After this battle, the war will enter a brutal stalemate stage, and it is time for Mu Tianxiang's plan to be implemented!
Liao Huayu stood on the top of Matou Mountain in high spirits, looking down on the entire mining area. Yes, Matou Mountain is no longer precarious, but was taken by Liao Huayu.
Liao Huayu began to think that there was little hope, but after a dozen, he found that the defense of Matou Mountain was very weak, and at this time, Long Dao and Shangguan Invincible, two of their own Tianji masters, rushed over again, and it was not a matter of holding a handle to take Matou Mountain. This time, in order to keep it secret, Liao Huayu did not bring the Heavenly Extreme Cultivator of the Liuyun Sect!
"Liao Huayu, I think we should blow up this mine!" "Taking Matou Mountain, Shangguan Invincible was also very surprised, in such an important place, there was not a single monk from the Heavenly Pole.
"No, then the Bloodthirsty Gate will be in chaos, it is not in line with our long-term plan, we still have three days, let all the monks go to mine spirit stones, take as much as they can!" Liao Huayu said.
Shangguan Invincible, as a high-level executive, also knows a lot about Mu Tianxiang's plan. Just now, I just said that I knew it was impossible.
The mining area of Matou Mountain is very large, and Liao Huayu is fully mining for three days, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the entire mining area. But if the ore vein is injured, then the mine will be abandoned, and the Bloodthirsty Sect will definitely be powerless to resist the Liuyun Sect. This is also the reason why Zhao Fenghu doesn't care about returning to help.
"What about those absenteeisms?" asked Long Dao.
"Take them all, these are monks, we have a lot of use. Liao Huayu said.
Ordinary people in the spirit stone mine cannot be mined, at least they must be a yellow-level cultivator. These absenteeism were all done by monks captured by the Bloodthirsty Sect to do coolies. Although Liao Huayu can't destroy the spirit stone mine, it's still okay to let the Bloodthirsty Gate bleed a little. Thinking that without these absenteeism, the mining of the Bloodthirsty Gate will be greatly affected, which will also be beneficial to the Liuyun Sect, which has been passive, leveling the strength of the two parties and continuing to consume it is the most beneficial!
