Chapter 268: Wilderness Village
Compared with the losses of the Xu family, the army of the Sikong family suffered even more heavy losses: eleven strong people in the fourth-level emperor realm died, nineteen strong people in the third-level emperor realm died, two hundred and sixty strong people in the second-level emperor realm, two thousand four hundred and fifty strong people in the first-level emperor realm, and ninety-three thousand six hundred and eleven strong people in the earth king level. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info A total of 96,351 people died, more than twice the death toll of the Xu family's army.
From the casualty figures of the two armies, it can be clearly seen that the battle ended perfectly with the complete victory of the Xu army. On the same day, after a day of fierce debate, the high-level leaders of the Xu family finally decided on a battle plan to win in the face of danger. To put it simply, it's two words: mental warfare.
At that time, according to the instructions of Xu Shengtian, the head of the Xu family, the Xu family army must eliminate part of the Sikong family's forces before withdrawing to Xuanwu City, so as to reduce the pressure in the decisive battle. To realize Xu Shengtian's strategic attempt, there are only two ways in front of the two elders of the Xu family.
One is the 50,000 reinforcements that attacked the Sikong family. The second is to fight with the main force of the Sikong family on the front. However, both of these paths are difficult to follow. After repeated deductions, the second path was finally chosen.
In order to ensure the success of the second set of combat plans, the high-level of the Xu family carefully arranged two moves:
The first step is to hide from the sky and cross the sea, and hope for Mei to quench your thirst. From top to bottom, let everyone in the Xu family know a message: the Xu family has recruited a thousand emperor-level powerhouses, and they are rushing to Jian'an City, as long as they can defend for three days, they can turn the tide, deal a fatal blow to the enemy on the opposite side, win victory, regain their dignity, and avenge their dead brothers.
Through this kind of empty check, the Xu family completely mobilized the morale of the whole army and inspired the determination of the army to fight to the death. Facts have proved that it is precisely because of this hope that the Xu family army has not retreated an inch under the fierce attack of the Sikong family army. It can be seen how powerful things such as faith and hope are in the seemingly ethereal and ethereal thing.
The second step is to repair the plank road and secretly cross the Chen Cang. Dispatching 800 strong men to pose for a surprise attack on the 50,000 reinforcements of the Sikong family is actually a roundabout team all the way. After leaving Jian'an City, the team returned after a day's detour, and lurked in an area an hour away from Jian'an City, waiting to cooperate with the attack of the main force.
This elite force of 800 people moved, if the Sikong family should send an interception team at the right time, then its frontal troops would definitely be weak, and it would be a good time to attack.
If the Sikong family does not move, but preemptively attacks the city, then this team of 800 people can be used as an outflanking surprise soldier, covering from behind, forming a front and rear attack. In this situation, although there has been no change in the strength of the two sides, this illusion of being besieged can cause strong psychological pressure on the Sikong family's army. This point is the core of the "psychological war", and the most critical point for Xu Jiajun to win this battle is precisely to win this section.
Although Sikong Dehou sensitively guessed that the real goal of the Xu Jiajun was his main force, not his own 50,000 reinforcements, and took a seemingly perfect countermeasure, he did not expect that the Xu Jiajun would have such courage and courage, and he actually attacked the main force with obvious advantages with a weak journey. And what it relies on and plots is only the so-called momentum, a kind of military spirit that cannot be fully convinced.
You must know that among them, whether the defending troops can hold on, whether the strange soldiers can arrive as scheduled, whether the attacking party's military heart can be shaken, etc., which one of the many links has gone wrong, and the nearly 300,000 army of the Xu family army is about to face the danger of annihilation.
Such a big gamble is only those desperate outlaws who dare to take risks, and although Xu Jiajun is at a disadvantage, he is far from reaching the end of the mountain, how can he take such a big risk? The defeated Sikong Houde can't figure it out, he can't figure it out!
āāāāāāāā
After the battle of Jian'an City, Sikong Dehou led the remnants of the defeated army and retreated to Mingshan County, reorganized the troops, recovered their vitality, and waited for the opportunity to move, in order to lose their blood. At this time, Mingshan County, with the participation of the huge army of the Sikong family, had expanded in scale unprecedentedly, and it was even larger and grander than a capital city. Mingshan County also naturally got a new name: Tenghuang City.
On the occasion of the Sikong family's unsparing efforts to operate Tenghuang City. After repeated analysis, several elders of the Xu family judged that after a fiasco in Jian'an City, the Sikong family would definitely not have any major offensive actions in the short term. Even if there is a big move, with the existing strength of Jian'an City, there is not much weakness. If the tactics are used successfully, it is not impossible to win another big battle.
Therefore, several chiefs jointly wrote a letter, suggesting that the patriarch Xu Shengtian change the strategic idea of the army retreating to Xuanwu City, but based on Jian'an City, and have a big showdown with the Sikong family.
At the same time, considering that there is still more room for maneuver in time, it is recommended that the newly recruited troops be directly transferred, as long as there are 20,000 troops, the strength of Jian'an City will reach 260,000, if the Sikong family does not add new troops, it will form a military advantage over the Sikong family, and the situation can be described as very good.
After everyone finished discussing, they immediately sent liaison personnel to Xuanwu City to convey the latest battle report of Jian'an City and the new strategic concept.
At the same time, in order to ensure the absolute safety of the two seriously injured Great Elders Xu Shengli and Xu Yaxin, the Four Elders personally escorted them and transferred them to Xuanwu City. And the four elders also happened to retire and returned to Xuanwu City to assist the patriarch Xu Shengtian and protect Xuanwu City.
And on the second day after the end of the Battle of Jian'an City, Wang Weizhi, who was slowly moving forward, finally arrived in Jian'an City, but got the news that Xu Yaxin was seriously injured and returned to Xuanwu City. After Wang Weizhi secretly scolded himself, he stopped staying, eager to catch up with Xu Yaxin.
However, since the escort was two absolute heavyweights, the route of the four elders, the second elder of the Xu family and the others also knew nothing. The disappointed king had no choice but to rush towards Xuanwu City------
On this day, after three days and three nights of rapid advance, Wang Weizhi really couldn't hold on, so he could only get close to the foot of a small remote village, prepare to rest for a whole night, and then go on his way tomorrow. Wang Weizhi, who was sitting cross-legged, had just spread out his perverted spiritual power, and was about to investigate whether there were potential safety hazards in the surroundings, but he never thought that he would hear the whispers of the two.
"Second master, after many temptations by his subordinates, those old guys are unwilling to comply, and if they really can't do it, they will ------"
In an independent courtyard in a remote village, there are two strong men secretly having a private meeting, one of them is about forty years old, about one meter eight tall, wearing a white robe, although his appearance is not handsome, but it is beyond ordinary people, he has a special male taste, and his strength is not weak, and he has reached the peak realm of the seventh-level earth king. At this time, he was sitting at the table with a gloomy face and his eyebrows locked.
The other looked about fifty years old, about 1.7 meters, wearing a gray long robe, and his appearance was extraordinary, he could only be regarded as a mainland product, his strength was slightly worse, and he was a sixth-level earth king powerhouse. Although this person is a little older, judging by his flattering expression and language, his status is significantly lower than that of the former.
Although both of them are around forty or fifty years old, in terms of the human lifespan of the Xuantian Continent, they can only be regarded as young people who have just matured, and the good times have just begun.
"There's no hurry."
Seeing the man in gray make a gesture of obliteration, the man in white stopped in time.
"Second master, as the so-called non-toxic husband, the eldest husband should act decisively and ruthlessly, but don't do those twisted attitudes. Also, that little girl has a very hard temperament, and she persuaded the second master to die of this heart. A hero like the second master, I don't know how many young girls fall in love with you, why hang yourself on a tree. The man in gray showed a treacherous look on his face and said.
"Seventh, second master, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson." The man in white turned pale and said in a cold voice.
"Yes, yes, second master, forgive my subordinates for their gaffes just now. The second master's means, within a radius of thousands of miles, no one knows, no one knows. Don't talk about the brothers of my carrier gang, just talk about the friends, only when I hear the name of the second master, who dares not to give a thumbs up and say hello! The gray-clothed man, who was called Lao Qi, hurriedly said.
"Hmm. Seventh, is the news confirmed? The man in white turned his face slightly, and said.
"Second master, the news is true. The big boss and the young boss both fell in the first battle of Mingshan County. This news will officially arrive at our carrier tomorrow. The man in gray replied.
"Hmm. Since the news of the death of the two is confirmed, according to the rules of the gang, the little girl in Lijiang will definitely hold a gang meeting immediately, firstly, to arrange the burial of the big boss and the young boss, and secondly, to determine the successor of our carrier gang, which is a great opportunity for us. The man in white said.
"Second master, I think that although that little girl in Lijiang is only a sixth-level earth king, she is the daughter of a big boss, and her ambition is not small. This time, both the big boss and the young boss have fallen, and this little girl will definitely snatch the position of the gang leader. Moreover, the attitude of the old guys in the gang is also very clear, and they fully follow the orders of the big boss before the expedition and support the little girl. Therefore, if something happens in the gang, I'm afraid we don't have much chance of winning. Once the facts are formed, we will not have a good time in the future, especially the grand goal of the second master, it will be in vain. The man in gray said.
"Hmph. Although Xiao Nizi has outstanding ability, she must be a daughter, and her strength is too low. When the big boss and the young boss are not dead, let her take the position of the gang leader and take the power of my carrier gang, all the brothers can understand, and the other gangs will not dare to make a mistake. ā
But at this time, it is different, losing the protection of the big boss and the young master, this little girl still wants to be the helper, it is simply wishful thinking. Not to mention that the brothers are not convinced, it is impossible for other gangs to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob, and it is also unknown whether my carrier gang can survive at that time. ā
"In such a predictable and dangerous situation, even if there is the will of the big boss, the brothers will definitely not really surrender, but will elect a new big boss who can save the lives of the brothers. As long as we give them this opportunity, I believe that many brothers will respond positively. If Xiao Nizi and those old guys are stubborn and don't know how to practice, don't blame the second master for being ruthless. ā
The man in white said with a grim face.
