Chapter 116: The Battle of Huangshi Village (2)
With the support of Zhuge Hongyun and several elders, the original decadent momentum of the generals below has recovered a little, but Mu Tianxiang knows that this is far from enough, and if he doesn't come up with some dry goods, the army's morale is still unstable.
"We are now cowering in here, it is not okay, we have to fight back, we can't always be beaten passively!" Mu Tianxiang said.
Mu Tianxiang was originally good at defense, but he also knew that defense was more difficult than offense, and if he wanted to play a beautiful defensive battle, the quality of the army was more demanding. So I had to take a risk and try to win a few battles to boost morale.
"Mu Tianxiang, don't be ashamed, we can't defend it now, and taking the risk of attacking can only bring about our own destruction. "There was a loud objection.
Zhuge Hongyun was also very hesitant, after all, the previous lesson was too profound.
"Do you think I'm talking big? I decided to wait for my army to arrive, and I will personally lead the army to attack, and everyone can help. Mu Tianxiang said domineeringly.
Silent, what else can you say, if you feel that it is risky, then you don't need to attack, you are watching me do it, what else do you have to say. Atmospheric, Mu Tianxiang was very arrogant, and he suddenly calmed the field.
"Okay, we should be like this," Zhuge Hongyun shouted loudly: "What is the target of Tianxiang's attack? After all, there is no plan, and the risk of blindly attacking is too great."
"Map!"
"Quick, hang up the map!" Zhuge Hongyun said hurriedly.
"Here!" Mu Tianxiang said, pointing to the map.
"Yellowstone?"
A small dot that is not marked at all on an ordinary map, and is only available on military maps.
"Huangshi Village is very small and has nothing special, but it happens to be at the junction of the two armies of the Bloodthirsty Gate, and it is very close to the grain road of the Bloodthirsty Gate, as long as we occupy this place, the enemy army will definitely panic," Mu Tianxiang said.
"Suck ......" Everyone took a deep breath, with Mu Tianxiang's fingers, everyone was also a battle-hardened general, and they were still clearly divided, and they quickly figured out the importance of Huangshi Village, Huangshi Village is a thorn, a thorn stuck in the throat.
"Why didn't I think about it first?"
"With your brain, it's good to be able to distinguish how many of your little wives are......"
"Mu Tianxiang really lives up to his reputation......"
......
The generals below talked a lot, their eyes were suddenly opened, and all kinds of ideas came to mind. With the hope of victory, morale rises.
Zhuge Hongyun and several elders also laughed!
"Before the operation, our scouts should first send scouts to prevent enemy scouts from probing our troop movements, and at the same time try to find out the movements of enemy troops. Mu Tianxiang waited for everyone to calm down and continued.
"Scouts are fine, but the enemy army dispatches the masters of the Heavenly Pole to observe the sky, and we can't prevent it!" someone said.
"Then we'll send the Heavenly Extreme Cultivators to drive them away, are the elders okay?" asked Mu Tianxiang.
"There is no problem, but it will take time to drive away, and the enemy can see the deployment of the army at a glance in the air, so it will not be of much use. "Elder Yang is not against attacking, after all, it is not a life-and-death battle, and it is not a simple matter for the two Heavenly Extreme Cultivators to destroy whom. The risk is not great, but the effect is not necessarily good, after all, in the sky, the Heavenly Extreme Cultivator can see very far.
"It's okay, as long as you don't let them observe closely, one soldier on my side sleeps in two tents, and ten soldiers over there crowd into one tent, let them guess, just guess a few more times!" Mu Tianxiang said indifferently.
"Insidious, but I like it!" the generals laughed.
Zhuge Hongyun was also very happy, and he tried his best to transfer Mu Tianxiang over against public opinion, and Mu Tianxiang did not disappoint himself, and in a short period of time, he boosted morale and gathered the morale of the army. Yes, really good.
"Tianxiang, when it's time to attack, don't go, your cultivation will have no effect on the front line, once there is any mistake, but it is a major loss for our army, you will stay by my side and assist me!" Zhuge Hongyun now likes Mu Tianxiang very much, afraid that Mu Tianxiang will have an accident on the front line, and after everyone leaves, Mu Tianxiang is left alone.
"Okay!" Mu Tianxiang thought about it and agreed, Liao Huayu's ability could be commanded alone. Mu Tianxiang doesn't need to go to the front line, and staying by Zhuge Hongyun's side can also make Zhuge Hongyun feel at ease.
"My army will arrive in about three days, and after arriving it must rest for two days, otherwise it will be difficult for me to go on the expedition. Mu Tianxiang said.
"Yes, it's okay to rest for a few more days, although the battle situation is unfavorable now, it has also stabilized!" Zhuge Hongyun said.
"Then there is no need, if the army of the Bloodthirsty Gate is adjusted in place, it will not be good, two days will be enough. Mu Tianxiang said.
"You have more experience in worldly battles than me, you decide!" Zhuge Hongyun didn't say much.
"Huangshi Village must be a battle to the death, a vicious battle, my army is still less than the proportion of monks, I hope that the less master will be added. Mu Tianxiang said.
"Okay, no problem, we still have a lot of Xuan-level and Prefecture-level monks!" Zhuge Hongyun hurriedly agreed.
This is actually good for both sides, originally Zhuge Hongyun was afraid that Mu Tianxiang was unwilling for others to interfere in his army, but now Mu Tianxiang himself proposed, Zhuge Hongyun was overjoyed.
Mu Tianxiang also knew that it was not good for an army to be arranged by other forces to have too many people, but now his army lacked monks, and without the assistance of monks, the casualties would be very large, and it would not last long, and Mu Tianxiang believed in Liao Huayu and Ma Xiaoke's control over the army.
For the management of soldiers at the grassroots level, Mu Tianxiang transferred more than 10,000 political commissars from Geng Biao to various units below the regiment level as instructors, and there was no big problem in thinking.
"Tomorrow, the young master can mobilize the army, and cover our attack in five days!" Mu Tianxiang proposed.
"The back and forth movement of the army is easy to fatigue the soldiers, and it's not good to be too frequent?" Zhuge Hongzhi hesitated a little.
"Leave the 1.5 million elites unmoved, and the rest will really fight, and it won't have much effect. Moreover, the morale of the army has been unstable recently, and it is not good for the soldiers to gather in the camp to discuss one after another, so let them move, so that there is no time to discuss right and wrong. Mu Tianxiang said.
"Okay!" Zhuge Hongyun thought about it and agreed.
The next day, the incomparably large barracks began to stir like a dragon turning over.
The Yunmengguo Legion received the order, and the army moved forward twenty miles to the left. After receiving the order, nearly a million troops began to move, the large army lined up, the guns were like forests, the knives were like snow, and they were towering like mountains.
The Chishui Army received the order, and the army made a twenty-mile attack to the right front. After receiving the order, the 700,000 army began to move like mercury, and the 100,000 heavy cavalry that rushed forward was like a black curtain covering the sky, crushing all obstacles, waving flags, covering the sky and the sun, and the mighty army advancing seemed to be endless.
......
The continuous movement of the army of the Flowing Cloud Sect aroused the vigilance of the Bloodthirsty Gate, and they immediately sent scouts to investigate.
The armies of the two sides are a hundred miles apart, and they are not close or far away. This distance of 100 miles has become the place of life and death for the scouts on both sides.
Those who can serve as army scouts are elites, at least they have been in the army for more than ten years, and they are basically monks, with the pride of a strong army, and the royal horse gallops on this small plain. The fight is very fierce, hundreds of people fight, after a round, less than half of them can survive.
In just three days, there were nearly 10,000 casualties on both sides, and the coaches on both sides were bleeding.
Mu Tianxiang strictly ordered that he was not allowed to retreat, and the violators were beheaded, and the generals of the various departments had great opinions, thinking that this was not Mu Tianxiang's army, Mu Tianxiang was not distressed, and the resistance was great, but it was barely maintained under the suppression of Zhuge Hongyun.
On the fourth day, Mu Tianxiang ordered Ma Xiaoke, who had just arrived, to personally lead the scouts to attack and replace the scouts who had suffered heavy losses.
Under the gaze of the generals, Mu Tianxiang's scouts were as fast as the wind, as aggressive as fire, and as thunderous as thunder. It was a thorough lesson for the gang.
Mu Tianxiang less than 2,000 scouts, in the face of the enemy army of tens of thousands, not afraid at all, indomitable to launch a charge, the army gathered and scattered, the rules were measured, constantly cutting the formation of the enemy army, once it was torn apart, it would be wiped out in an instant.
It didn't take long to completely defeat the will of the enemy. Under the command of Ma Xiaoke, the army of nearly 2,000 people was divided into one hundred or even dozens of people, and began to pursue the enemy army, looking chaotic and orderly. The support and cover were very well placed, and the enemy was not given any chance to take advantage of it.
After a fierce battle for half a day, he killed thousands of enemy scouts, and his own losses were less than three hundred. It's all elite, and this kind of battle loss ratio is a bit scary.
The soldiers watching the battle thundered with joy, and the atmosphere that had been suppressed for many days was swept away.
Mu Tianxiang's heart was bleeding, and three hundred people were gone in half a day, but these two thousand people were selected from an army of nearly one million and trained secretly for nearly two years before they became an army, which can be said to be a strong army second only to Hao's special combat team. Everyone pulls it out individually, and they are all the existence of the king of soldiers.
"Look, I usually think I'm amazing, now look at Mu Tianxiang's scouts, and then look at yourself, it's really incomparable......" The surrounding generals reprimanded this scout of their own family.
"Five or six prefecture-level cultivators, how would they face such an army?" asked Zhuge Hongyun, who was standing at the top of the mountain.
"There is no way but to run, and if it is too late, I guess I won't even have a chance to run!" Elder Yang said.
"So powerful?" Zhuge Hongyun was also startled.
"More than twenty, you can fight, but the outcome is unknown. If you want to win an absolute victory, you can't have less than a hundred," Elder Yang said.
"It's a pity, Mu Tianxiang is only a yellow-level cultivator, if he reaches the ground level, it will be difficult to control. Zhuge Hongyun said.
"It's difficult to do both, Mu Tianxiang has good qualifications, will he still pay so much attention to worldly things? Elder Yang said with a smile.
"Yes!" Zhuge Hongyun said after thinking about it. No matter how strong Mu Tianxiang's ability is, it is only suitable for development in the secular world, and it cannot pose any threat to the sect that is dominated by the cultivation world.
After all, the qualifications for cultivation are there, and cultivation determines the life limit, no matter how powerful you are, it will consume you to death. One or two hundred years is really nothing to the Heavenly Extreme Cultivator. Zhuge Hongyun is considered a genius, and it has taken more than a hundred years to cultivate to the heavenly extreme.
