Chapter 41: A Turning Point
"Tianxiang, do you think we can hold it?" Shangguan Qingyun said.
"It's hard to say now, if the Bloodthirsty Gate continues to attack regardless of losses, it will be difficult for us to hold it, but they have at least nearly 100,000 casualties now, and it's hard to say whether they have the will to continue the attack. Mu Tianxiang pondered for a moment and said.
"Our monks have also suffered relatively large losses recently, and when it comes to attacking now, many generals are a little unable to command the monks. Shangguan Qingyun said helplessly.
"I also noticed that we don't want to attack in the future, the effect is not great, hold on to these two city walls, the bloodthirsty gate let us steal and kill two ground-level monks, their monks are also very cautious in attacking now, and the problem is not big for the time being. Mu Tianxiang said.
"According to the news from my father's side, the siege of Fengyun City and Lijiazhuang is also not going well, and the casualties are a bit large," Shangguan Qingyun said.
"There was a delay over there, and when attacking from the periphery, it was not resolute, there was no large number of living forces to kill and injure the rebels, and now the rebels were concentrated in the city, and it was relatively difficult to attack. Mu Tianxiang said.
"With the cooperation of the three city lords, they always think too much and worry too much, and they can't ...... Shangguan City alone" Shangguan Qingyun was also indignant.
"Do you see if you can transfer Ma Tiefeng's brigade first, they have more monks, and the level can also be ......" Shangguan Qingyun hesitated and asked.
"Don't move for the time being, that's our last mobile force, now it's mainly a war of attrition, they don't play a big role, and their casualties are too big to explain......" Mu Tianxiang pondered for a while and said.
"See if you can let the second son and the young lady go to the city lord to move some rescuers. Mu Tianxiang said.
"Father, I can't draw many people right now," Shangguan Qingyun said with a strange look at Mu Tianxiang.
"Just go......" Mu Tianxiang said as he looked at the sky outside the big tent.
"What do you mean......" Shangguan Qingyun understood a little.
"You and I can't get out now, we have to prepare for the worst," Mu Tianxiang said.
"I know, I'll arrange it in a moment. Shangguan Qingyun sighed.
"Don't go sneaky, let's publicize that we have now surrounded Fengyun City and Lijiazhuang, just around the corner, let everyone hold on a little longer. Mu Tianxiang admonished.
"Many high-ranking monks and generals know about the situation, and they are not afraid of their ......," Shangguan Qingyun said.
"As long as the soldiers don't know, from now on, the main generals above the regimental level and the monks above the intermediate level will be gathered together to form a supervision team and use them intensively. Let Shangguan Haoyun, Geng Biao and several division commanders control it, and surprise the enemy formation at any time to support the defense. Mu Tianxiang said.
"How do you command the troops......" Shangguan Qingyun asked.
"The second wall is the narrowest, and it will be enough to defend it with a maximum of one battalion at a time, and I will go in person. The first army, you personally capture. Mu Tianxiang said.
Shangguan Qingyun thought about it, but there was no other way, so he didn't say anything more.
Because he was going to be transferred to Guanjin, Mu Tianxiang got out of the big tent and came to the headquarters of the Second Army.
"Mu Tianxiang, what do you mean, why did you send me and my second brother to ask for help. "Not long after Mu Tianxiang entered the big tent, Shangguan Jin was in a hurry.
"Now that our troops have suffered relatively large losses, the city lord has surrounded Fengyun City and Lijiazhuang, and he should be able to draw out people, so let you and the second prince go to the rescue. Mu Tianxiang said with a smile.
"Then why don't you let someone else go," Shangguan Jin is not easy to fool.
"Now the alliance is three city lords, and many things need to be coordinated, Shangguan Qingyun can't pull away, and the weight of others is not enough, who else do you say is suitable......" Mu Tianxiang was a serious analyst.
"Then the second brother can go alone......" Shangguan Jin thought for a while and said.
"This is what I said to coordinate and communicate, if the coordination fails, then your mother's identity can be pressed, so that you can move in as soon as possible to rescue the soldiers, so you are the most critical, you must go. Mu Tianxiang said solemnly.
"Then I can go alone, why do you still send the second brother?" Shangguan Jin always felt that it was not right and asked.
"You can lead tens of thousands of troops on a smooth march......" Mu Tianxiang said with a smile.
"You ......" Shangguan Jin was speechless by Mu Tianxiang, Shangguan Jin's temperament is not suitable for leading the army, if Shangguan Jin commands alone, then tens of thousands of people will not be in a mess.
"So, you and Qinghe are both crucial and indispensable. Mu Tianxiang said.
"It's as simple as that, don't lie to me. "Shangguan Jin still feels that something is wrong.
"It's as simple as that, if you think about it, it's only ten days back and forth, is it necessary for me to lie to you?" Mu Tianxiang said.
"Okay, I believe in you, I'll go and come back quickly, you and eldest brother should be careful, wait for me to come back," Shangguan Jin said and left in a hurry.
Looking at Shangguan Jin's distant figure, Mu Tianxiang sincerely wished that this elf in the world could continue to be happy.
"I've fallen in love with someone," said the dragon sword.
"Do you think it's possible, what kind of identity and cultivation am I, and I'm not qualified to talk and think about these things now, it's good to be alive. Mu Tianxiang laughed self-deprecatingly.
"If you don't work hard and fight, how do you know it's impossible. Dragon Dao said.
"Okay, don't talk about these illusory things, I will arrange for Shangguan Meizhi and ** to go back later, and you will go back too, if I die in battle this time, with the city lord and Miss Shangguan Jin, if Shangguan Cheng escapes this time, I will take good care of the proprietress and the Ouyang sister and brother's family." ”
"You guide Hu Bing and Ouyang Xiaotian well, their qualifications are good, and they can also help you when they grow up, please do it." Mu Tianxiang said.
After arranging the aftermath, Mu Tianxiang and Shangguan Qingyun began to nervously transfer personnel and defend with all their might.
"Vice President Pastor, I have something to report to you. While Mu Tianxiang was pondering, Zhang Wei walked in, and after many life-and-death battles, this young man is now calm.
"Zhang Wei, what's the matter. Mu Tianxiang asked with a smile.
Zhang Wei looked at Mu Tianxiang and said, "I recently blocked the signal soldiers of the Bloodthirsty Gate in the surrounding mountains, and I found that there were suddenly more demonic beasts here. ”
Mu Tianxiang stood up suddenly: "Demonic beasts? Are you sure? How is this possible? Aren't all the demonic beasts here almost cleaned up?"
"I guess it has something to do with the recent war, after all, too many people have died here. Zhang Wei said.
Mu Tianxiang understood, the successive battles here, with hundreds of thousands of casualties, were killed and injured, and the demonic beasts were very sensitive to the blood of human beings, especially the essence blood of monks. Moreover, the deceased Mu Tianxiang in Shangguan City was well buried or burned, and the injured were also treated to a certain extent.
However, the coalition forces on the bloodthirsty side did not pay much attention to these, and the way they dealt with them was similar to that of the previous army, the dead were simply cleared out of the battlefield for fear of affecting morale, piled up or hastily buried in the surrounding valleys, and the wounded were not well treated, just centralized and locked up.
With so many corpses and wounded soldiers, many of them were monks, and the blood emitted had already spread to the surroundings, and the demonic beasts that had been dispersed were attracted by the smell of blood and slowly gathered over.
Thinking about this, Mu Tianxiang had an immature idea in his mind, and said: "Zhang Wei, I'll go to the general manager to report it, don't spread this matter, and you can control and advise those who know." ”
"Okay, Vice President Pastor, now this matter is only known to the people in our team, I'll arrange it. Zhang Dawei assured loudly.
Mu Tianxiang hurriedly came to the general headquarters, and waved his hand to let the others out. Shangguan Qingyun told him what had happened.
"This is the reason why many armies are reluctant to garrison mountains and passes, mountains and forests are the world of demonic beasts, and people need to constantly clean up and expel them, and if you don't pay attention, you may be wiped out. Shangguan Qingyun said after hearing this.
Mu Tianxiang also felt ridiculous for his naivety, the people here have survived for countless years, how could they not think of the importance of the pass when defending, but this world is different from his original world, there are a lot of demonic beasts, and the loss of garrisoning the mountain pass is relatively troublesome. So the battles basically took place around the city.
"This could be an opportunity for us," Mu Tianxiang said in deep thought.
"What do you mean, what do you think?" Shangguan Qingyun said suspiciously.
"Zhang Wei said, there are a lot of demonic beasts around here, but the level is not very high, we have more monks here, and it still has a deterrent effect on demonic beasts. Mu Tianxiang analyzed.
"I can also see this, what is the benefit to us, we still have to pay attention to the attack of the demonic beast, isn't it more troublesome?" Shangguan Qingyun said.
"I think so, in the past few days, the bed crossbow we used in the concentration is no longer kept, and it is launched at a distance of five hundred zhang, killing and injuring a large number of enemy soldiers, causing more bloody smell, so that the demonic beast may not be able to resist the attraction of the bloody smell, and come out to attack. Mu Tianxiang said.
"You said that you used the Demon Beast to attack the enemy army," Shangguan Qingyun said, "This is not allowed by the rules on the mainland, and the Demon Beast is the common enemy of mankind." ”
"I know, but now we have any other way, if we fail, tens of millions of people behind us will have to die. "Mu Tianxiang doesn't have any psychological barriers to using demonic beasts, and there are still few classic battles in which his ancestors used animals. Warcraft is just a high-level animal.
Mu Tianxiang's words made Shangguan Qingyun ponder. At the time of life and death, many things can be flexible, as long as it is not so obvious: "Even if it is carried out according to your method, if we use the bed crossbow in moderation, it will not last for a few days, at most five days, we will exhaust all the arrows, and the monster will not come out, what should we do?"
"Didn't we catch some monks recently? Kill them all, concentrate their essence and blood, and scatter them around the demonic beasts, I don't believe that the demonic beasts can still endure it, and haven't we gathered our elites in the past two days, it shouldn't be very difficult for them to catch some more monks. "Since Mu Tianxiang has decided, there are ways to consider and deal with many things.
"You made me think about it," Shangguan Qingyun said.
Mu Tianxiang left the big tent, and the final decision had to be made by Shangguan Qingyun, but Mu Tianxiang knew that if Shangguan Qingyun wanted to achieve a hard-won victory, this was the only chance, and there was not much way to go.
