Chapter 261: Battle Damage
Tiger tooth mouth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
An endless stretch of high mountains and dense forests stretches throughout, surrounded by clouds and mist, and there is no edge in sight.
The sun rises in the east, the clouds that have just woken up on the horizon are dyed by the red sun, and ten thousand warm rays of light are selflessly poured down, dyeing the morning dew and the quiet Huyakou with misty clouds and mist, and dyeing it into a mysterious dream. Let the people you see not only give birth to a sense of fairyland on earth.
At this time, in a hidden place in this fairyland land, Wang Weizhi, who was sitting cross-legged, closed his eyes tightly, and beads of sweat were pouring down his green tendons and almost distorted cheeks. Around his body, the surging heaven and earth spiritual power was tumbling in chaos, emitting bursts of terrifying roars.
Suddenly, an unusually heavy muffled sound was heard!
But I saw that the spiritual power of heaven and earth that was rolling in the vicious waves around Wang Weizhi's body suddenly scattered like a tsunami.
In the next moment, it rushed back as if he had heard a summons, and in the blink of an eye, time rushed into the mind of Wang Weizhi, who was sitting cross-legged, and the chaotic space also calmed down, and there was silence.
"Xin'er, wait for me."
Wang Weizhi clenched his fists, feeling the strong strength of the earth king who had just broken through to the ninth level, and said with a tenacious gaze.
On the same day, after Sikong Gu fled in the wilderness, Wang Weizhi also fled in time and rushed towards Huyakou.
First, there is only one day left from the Xu Jiajun stationed in Huyakou, and it is also the escape route designed at the beginning. Second, the middle route army was defeated, and the Sikong family would definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue it, and the situation of the middle route army could be described as very dangerous. For such an urgent matter, of course Wang Weizhi did not dare to delay, and he had to convey the news to the three elders as soon as possible, so that they could rush to help.
However, when the king rushed to Huyakou in a hurry, it was empty. At first, Wang Weizhi thought that he had made a mistake, but he soon found the stronghold where the army had been stationed.
Faced with an empty stronghold, Wang Weizhi quickly launched an inspection of the surrounding environment. It turned out that the army left in a hurry, but there was no sign of fighting and being hunted.
From this, Wang Weizhi, who was once the leader of the strongest military think tank team in the Great China Empire, accurately came to two conclusions:
The good thing is that the three elders got the news in advance, and during the period when they were hiding from Sikong Gu, they had already rushed to the aid of the Middle Route Army.
The bad one is that the Xu family has been completely defeated, and the three elders took the initiative to retreat after getting the news. In other words, the entire Xu family passively ceded the strategic buffer zone that could not be held after this battle.
After having the above two guesses, Wang Weizhi began to calmly think about his next step. After some consideration, Wang Weizhi thought that at this time, he rushed back to the Middle Route Army, and in the face of that kind of large-scale war, although he could kill a few people, it would not play any role in changing the overall situation.
What's more, after Wang Weizhi's battle with Sikong Guzhi, the already loose eighth-level Earth King barrier has become more fragile, and the time for a breakthrough is already close at hand.
Therefore, Wang Weizhi decisively decided to find a hiding place first, and hurry up to break through to the ninth-level earth king realm, after all, the improvement of strength is the core. And Huyakou, where the army has just retreated, is undoubtedly the best place to make a breakthrough.
However, although Wang Weizhi felt that a breakthrough was imminent, he did not expect to sit here for five days and five nights, and it was not until the early morning of the sixth day that he finally made a breakthrough as he wished. Wang Weizhi, who had broken through to the strength of the ninth-level earth king, now had reached the peak of the third-level emperor in his true combat power.
Although he didn't have the strength to reach the fourth-level emperor realm, he was much stronger than a cultivator at the peak of a normal third-level emperor. To put it simply, the current king is for it, and with only normal combat power, the third-level emperor cultivators between heaven and earth are no longer invincible.
Wang Weizhi, who had successfully broken through, slowly got up, glanced around the surrounding scenery, and then stopped staying, his figure flashed straight into the sky, turned into a streamer, and swept towards Mingshan County, and disappeared into the distant sky where the red sun was rising in the blink of an eye.
When Wang Weizhi rushed towards Mingshan County, he didn't know that the worst result had already appeared, and the fight between Xu Shengli, the great elder of the Xu family, and Sikong Wuxian ended in serious injuries on both sides. And the Xu family army was defeated as a whole.
During this period, although the right front battlefield commanded by the second elder of the Xu family won an overwhelming victory, due to the unexpected defeat of the middle route army, the right route army became a lone army deep behind the enemy and hung alone.
This situation is very sinister, if the middle route army of the Sikong family gives up the pursuit, but outflanks the right army of the Xu family, it will trap the right army of the Xu family in a desperate situation, and the consequences are unimaginable.
Forced by this predictable and sinister situation, the second elder of the Xu family had no choice but to withdraw his troops and lead the army to retreat on all fronts. The situation on the left front battlefield under the commander of the three elders was already very unfavorable, and after receiving the news of the defeat and retreat of the middle route army, he made a synchronous emergency response at the first time.
Although the three roads are led by three elders, they are actually a linked whole. The plan for the retreat of the whole front was the last battle plan that the three elders discussed together and memorized.
Therefore, although the three roads retreated as a whole, they were also in an orderly manner, and according to the design of the plan, they advanced rapidly to Jian'an City in three routes.
Jian'an City is the closest capital city controlled by the Xu family to the strategic zone between the two sides.
Due to the extremely important strategic location, from the day the Xu family became strong, they implemented the most firm control over Jian'an City. Among them, the word "Jian'an" means the good will of "building this city, then it will be safe".
At this time, Jian'an City was controlled by Xu Maoying, the orthodox bloodline of the Xu family, a powerhouse in the realm of a sixth-level emperor, whether it was strength or identity, he was full of weight in the Xu family, and he was a figure comparable to the elder level, which showed how much the Xu family attached importance to this city.
At this time, in Jian'an City, in addition to Xu Maoying's 10,000 garrison troops, there were also 10,000 reserve troops set up by the Xu family here, a total of 20,000 horses. Although there are not many emperor-level powerhouses, the total number of troops is also quite a lot, especially after Xu Maoying's intensive training, the combat effectiveness is close to the front-line troops.
Not to mention the situation in Jian'an City, but to talk about the retreating people and horses in three ways. Among the three road people, the right army commanded by the second elder is in the best situation, because the Sikong family people who will fight against it have been killed and injured heavily, so that although the Sikong family people on this road saw the Xu family army retreating, they did not dare to chase too closely, but only followed from a distance to ensure that the Xu family army did not make other big moves and achieved the battle map of containment.
Therefore, at the time of the overall retreat, the second elder decisively dispatched one hundred and fifty emperor-level powerhouses, including thirty fourth-level emperors, fifty third-level emperors, and seventy second-level emperors.
The second elder himself led the large army to march at full speed, and was the first to reach Jian'an City. As soon as the troops arrived, they worked with Xu Maoying, the city lord of Jian'an City, to urgently add fortifications, and after everything was ready, the Central Route Army and the Left Route Army finally arrived on the third day.
The three army horses joined forces in Jian'an City and gained a firm foothold, once again forming a resistance camp against the Sikong family.
Along the way, there were chasing soldiers behind the butt of the Middle Route Army and the Left Route Army, and the damage was inevitable, and the damage of the Middle Route Army was the greatest, if it were not for the reinforcements of the Second Elder to arrive in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After the three groups of men and horses joined forces, they directly mixed 10,000 reserve troops into the team. And Xu Shengli was not well due to his serious injury, so he temporarily handed over the command to the second elder with full authority, and he went all out to heal his wounds.
Take stock of the final battle losses of this battle:
The supreme commander of the Xu family's army, the Great Elder Xu Shengli, was seriously injured, and the powerhouses of the fourth-level emperor realm were killed two and three were injured; The powerhouses of the third-level emperor realm were killed eight times and ten wounded; Twenty-one people were killed and eighteen were injured by the powerhouses of the second-level emperor realm; Thirty-seven people were killed and fifty wounded by the powerhouses of the first-class emperor realm; Three thousand and two people were killed and more than 4,000 were injured.
Such a huge number of battle losses is the biggest loss in the more than half a year since the Xu family and the Sikong family have been fighting each other. Especially those emperor-level powerhouses, in the case of such an urgent war, just like a rare resource that cannot be renewed, the death of one is really one less, which makes those high-level leaders of the Xu family all feel pain. The overall morale of the Xu family army is even more low.
With the complete defeat of the Xu family's army, the Sikong family took advantage of the situation to cross the strategic buffer zone that had been quiet for nearly a thousand years, ruled the six surrounding counties, and its military presence also advanced more than 1,000 kilometers as a whole, and most of the men and horses directly pressed the Jian'an city.
As long as Jian'an City is broken, it can be regarded as truly opening the door of the Xu family, and one capital city and ten county towns in a territory of more than 3,000 square kilometers will be completely exposed to the threat of attack by the Sikong family, which will be a heavy blow to the Xu family.
Not to mention how the Xu family and the Sikong family deployed troops and fought desperately, but it was said that the king who was alone was the king.
On the same day, after Wang Weizhi left Huyakou, he did not stop, and after three days and three nights of rapid travel, he finally returned to Mingshan County on the fourth day, but found that Mingshan County had already been a matter of affairs and was completely occupied by the Sikong family.
Wang Weizhi, who lost the whereabouts of the Xu family's army, after some careful reasoning, also roughly guessed the first stop after the defeat of the Xu army: Jian'an City.
At the same time, another conclusion was also drawn, that is, although the Xu family was defeated, the strength to fight with the Sikong family was still there. Therefore, Xu Yaxin, as the key protection object of the Xu family, will not be in danger of her life, and she does not need to rush desperately.
With these preliminary judgments, Wang Weizhi decisively gave up his plan to enter Mingshan County and marched to Jian'an City without hurry.
Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Wang Weizhi could only choose the barren path to move forward. For a powerhouse whose strength is equivalent to that of a third-level emperor, the so-called barren path is really a piece of cake, and it will not waste much physical strength.
On this day, Wang Weizhi came to an unknown village. This small village is hidden in the mountains, from the sparse and simple houses, there are at most 100 households, and it is estimated that it is also the kind of poor village that is isolated from the world.
