Chapter 265: A Grim Situation

Xu Yaxin's listless performance made the deputy commander, big and small leaders of the team and the team under her lead have a lot of complaints. At the beginning of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info it was only discussed in private because of Xu Yaxin's special identity. Later, it has gradually turned into action, and there is a tendency to fall apart.

Such a situation, of course, was smoothly placed in front of the elders of the Xu family. Not only that, during this period, Xu Yaxin found the second elder several times, and impulsively proposed to go out of the city alone to find Wang Weizhi, which made the second elder angry.

If strictly according to the war, Xu Yaxin is only a commander, and her strength is only at the peak of the third-level emperor, and she cannot play a decisive role in the battle, but her identity is extremely special, and she is the only child of the head of the Xu family today.

It is precisely because of this extremely special identity that the agitation benefits brought by Xu Yaxin's participation in the war are more effective than the patriarch's personal participation in the war. If Xu Yaxin can be made to devote herself to the war with a more positive attitude, it will undoubtedly be an oversized booster for the Xu Jiajun who has just experienced a defeat, and the sluggish morale will be unprecedentedly boosted.

From this point of view, Xu Shengtian, the patriarch of the Xu family, is undoubtedly a master of playing people, and he must have such a deep meaning when he put Xu Yaxin into the front line at that time. Of course, only a powerhouse at the hegemonic level like Xu Shengtian can have such an extraordinary act. The second elder who was immersed in the scene, of course, also realized the mystery, which was also the most important internal reason for the second elder to appoint Xu Yaxin as the leader.

It is precisely because of these reasons that the second elder, who was helpless, had to ask the seventh elder Xu Shihai to come out, hoping that through the cordial relationship between Xu Shihai and Xu Yaxin, Xu Yaxin would be moved, so that he would focus on the overall situation and devote himself to the current war.

Xu Shihai, the seventh elder like an old fritter, of course, also realized the subtle relationship. Therefore, he hit it off with the second elder and spared no effort to take on the important task of moving Xu Yaxin.

The old people often say: People have no long-term worries, but they must have near-term worries. The elders of the Xu family, who are on the front line of the battlefield, have reversed Xu Yaxin's mental state and risen to the height of boosting the morale of the Xu family's army.

"Little girl, look at your sad face all day long, what you have become! You're a Ruler now, so be mindful of the impact. Your face, your mood, directly determines the morale of the team, understand? In a small reception hall, Seventh Elder Xu Shihai said with a serious face.

"It's uncle, Xin'er understands. If nothing else, Xin'er went to inspect the troops. Xu Yaxin restrained the sadness on her face and said tenaciously.

"Hmm. Little girl, uncle knows your thoughts, but at this time, our Xu family is facing the biggest crisis in a thousand years, and we are a huge enemy outside the city, and we may rush in and tear us to pieces in the next second. The nearly 10,000 clansmen of the Xu family, as well as those local forces who follow our Xu family, each of them has their own relatives and lovers, but they are all firmly standing at their posts, ready to fight with their lives with their lives at any time. You see these things all the time, but you don't really understand the truth yet. Seventh Elder Xu Shihai said.

"Xin'er understands!" Xu Yaxin replied.

"You haven't gotten it yet! Because, as the direct descendant of the Xu family and the patriarch, you should set an example and do better! Compared with the life and death of the family, what is our personal gain and loss, personal life? Not to mention anything else, take the Great Elder as an example, such a super strong man, for the survival of his family, fought with his life against the enemy, was seriously injured, and has not yet recovered. In the future, even if he can recover to his peak, it will be difficult to make a new breakthrough, which is a big blow to a cultivator who has already touched the top, it is even more painful than killing him. But the Great Elder didn't complain a word, not only that, but he was also concerned about our battle situation at any time. That's responsibility, that's responsibility, you know? Seventh Elder Xu Shihai said earnestly.

"Xin'er, don't worry. Although manpower is tight now, we have not given up the search for Wang Xiaoyou. In accordance with the instructions of the Second Elder, we have sent a secret search team to search for Wang Xiaoyou's whereabouts along the road. Don't worry, you have to see people alive and corpses when you die, and we will definitely find him. Seeing that Xu Yaxin lowered her head and did not squeak, Xu Shihai said.

"Brother will be fine." Xu Yaxin raised her head suddenly and said firmly. The two crystal tears in the beautiful eyes, after struggling for a while, finally came out of the eyes without fighting.

"Yes, yes, uncle's slip of the tongue, uncle's slip of the tongue! Your uncle has read countless people, Wang Xiaoyou is dignified and calm-hearted, at first glance, he is the kind of Hongfu Qitian, with an unlimited lifespan, even if he wants to die, he can't die. You don't believe my vision, your father's vision can't be wrong, right? Since he is willing to hand over your precious daughter to this wild boy who came out of nowhere, he must have full certainty, and your father will definitely not do a loss-making business. Seeing Xu Yaxin crying, Xu Shihai hurriedly explained.

"Humph! Daddy won't use Xin'er's happiness to do business. Seeing Xu Shihai's funny look due to his anxious explanation, Xu Yaxin finally unfolded a long-lost smile, and said after a coquettish sigh.

At this time, Xu Yaxin really can't help it! Xu Shihai's explicit remarks, although obviously with deceptive elements, were not coarse, and they were just the right medicine, which made Xu Yaxin feel much more cheerful in an instant.

"Hehe, to use an analogy. You little girl, no big or small, you know that you should really spank you by grabbing my old man's pigtails, and teach you a good lesson. Seeing that Xu Yaxin was in a good mood, Xu Shihai finally breathed a sigh of relief and scolded with a smile.

"Newspaper. The seventh elder and the second elder had an order and hurried to the council hall to discuss the matter. It was here that a strong man outside the hall reported aloud.

"Hmm. I'll go right away. Xu Shihai replied loudly.

"Xin'er, it seems that the Sikong family can't help it, you hurry back to the team and prepare to fight. We must remember what Uncle Seventh said just now, the interests of the family are above everything else, and the overall situation must be the most important thing in everything. After Xu Sihai retreated, he said to Xu Yaxin while getting up.

"Yes." Xu Yaxin replied simply, and then followed Xu Shihai and rushed out.

Military stronghold, council chamber.

"The latest battle report. The Sikong family had expanded Myeongsan County into a capital city and established a military staging area based on it. The newly recruited force of 50,000 horses will arrive in Myeongsan County this evening. If all goes well, the 50,000 men will arrive at the foot of Jian'an City in 15 days. ”

"In response to the Sikong family's move, the patriarch has also started the recruitment work again, but whether it is the number of troops or the quality of the troops, it must not be compared with the Sikong family, and there is a more important point is that this batch of troops will definitely not be able to reach Jian'an City within fifteen days. Therefore, the patriarch's opinion was to concentrate this group of troops directly in Xuanwu City and fight the Sikong family in a final battle. And the war on our side is decided by us collectively. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the current situation is obvious, and the Sikong family has accurately grasped the Achilles' heel of our difficult mobilization of all the forces in the territory, and has devoted the whole country to fight us to the death. The initiative to fight or not to fight is already in the hands of the Sikong family. This time, I have gathered everyone here to hear your opinions. ”

After the top level of Xu Jiajun was now in place, the second elder who was in charge of the handsome seal on behalf of him glanced at the thirteen people in the hall one by one, and said with a heavy face.

"Fifty thousand! This Sikong family is really worthy of being the head of the five major families with compound surnames, and their ability to mobilize for war is so strong. Although our mobilization potential is not as good as that of the Sikong family, there is still potential, at least the city lords of the major capitals, the county lords of the county towns, and their garrison troops can still be drawn out, and the total should be forty or fifty thousand people. If it really doesn't work, we can also add some means, and it is estimated that we can also recruit at least 30,000 or 40,000 troops. As long as we have this group of troops, we can fight with the Sikong family. The Fifth Elder said.

"At present, we can't count on this batch of troops, and the key is what we do now. Although the patriarch did not have obvious instructions, his determination to fight to the end was very obvious. Therefore, the first thing we need to consider is how to consume the enemy as much as possible. Otherwise, even if we retreat to Xuanwu City, we still have no certainty of victory. The second elder said.

"Hmm. The second elder had a point. What is the combat power of these 50,000 horses? As soon as the Second Elder's words fell, the Third Elder had already asked.

"There are two supreme commanders of these 50,000 horses, one is one and one is in the same position, and they have reached the peak stage of the fifth-level emperor and the stage of the fifth-level emperor Xiaocheng. There are 2,530 emperor-level powerhouses under his command, including 30 fourth-level emperors, 100 third-level emperors, 200 second-level emperors, and 2,200 first-class emperors, and the rest are all ninth-level earth king powerhouses. The second elder said clearly and accurately.

After this group of data was reported, everyone's faces suddenly turned to ashes. Obviously, such a large support army will really be put into the battlefield, and it will form an overwhelming advantage over the Xu family's army. Especially the emperor-level powerhouses have formed a huge power disparity with the Xu family. If it is held out, then there is only one undoubted outcome in this battle: defeat, fiasco.

"At present, the strength of our two sides is basically equal, and we can take advantage of the arrival of enemy reinforcements to launch an attack first and fight to the death. If the main force of the Sikong family can be defeated, then the reinforcements will not be a cause for concern. The Sixth Elder said.

"Our morale is low due to a new defeat, while the enemy's morale must be even higher when both victory comes first and reinforcements come later. At such a time, taking the initiative to attack is not good for our army, and the victory rate is extremely small. The Seventh Elder retorted.

"Seventh Elder, this is a dangerous situation, maybe this is our last chance. The so-called to the place of death and then to life, we with the heart of death to motivate the army, and fight to the death with the enemy, although the loss will be greater, but the certainty of victory is still great. If we wait for the arrival of enemy reinforcements, we will have no chance but to be defeated again. If we really want to retreat to Xuanwu City, even if we achieve the final victory, our Xu family's thousand-year-old foundation will be ruined, and it will not be easy to recover again. The Sixth Elder replied.

"Report."

At this moment, the voice of the liaison officer's report suddenly sounded from outside the conference hall.
