Chapter 831: Attacking the Purple Cloud Temple

The main battlefields of the Five Continents Alliance and the Immortal Alliance are in the Danxia Sect, the Seven Swords Sect and the Baiyun Sect, and the total number of monks on both sides exceeds 30 million.

Among the three battlefields, the Immortal Alliance only has an advantage in the Baiyun Sect, but this advantage cannot defeat the army of the Five Continents Alliance dominated by Penglai, so after the defeat of the Danxia Sect and the Seven Swords Gate battlefield, the Immortal Alliance monks on the battlefield of the Baiyun Sect also retreated.

The front line of the Immortal League retreated about 5,000 miles, and re-established the defense line along the line of Wanzhou Gate, Jiangyang Gate, and Guiyizong, and the Five Continents Alliance continued to confront each other, preparing to continue the fierce attack after a slight adjustment.

Seven days later, the casualties of the battle between the two sides have been basically counted, on the battlefield of Danxiazong, the Immortal League lost eighty percent of the warships, and only less than fifty battleships escaped back, and all of them were wounded, more than two million men and horses were lost, more than 1.5 million people were killed in battle, and the rest were captured or disappeared and scattered.

And the casualties on the side of the Five Continents Alliance are also close to one million, there are still more than eighty warships left, and thousands of miles of territory have been beaten into ruins, although the mortals have been evacuated, the casualties are also extremely heavy.

On the battlefield of the Seven Swords Gate, the losses of the Immortal Alliance were even greater, they did not retreat under the command of the commander, they were directly defeated, more than two million people were killed directly, 500,000 horses were captured, missing or scattered, and when the Yuxian Gate gained a foothold in Jiangyang Gate, only half of the men and horses gathered were the previous ones, and there were tens of thousands of seriously wounded among them.

What is extremely miserable is that they don't even have enough elixir to save them, so they can only rely on the monks themselves to survive, and if they survive, they will live, and if they can't survive, they will die, and hundreds of people die in the misery every day, and their morale is extremely low.

And the Wuzhou Alliance in the direction of the Seven Swords Gate has more than 800,000 dead, and there are also a large number of seriously injured people, the Wuzhou Alliance has a strong family background, and most of the seriously injured can still hang their lives, as for whether it can be recovered, whether it will affect the path, it is difficult to say.

In the battlefield of Baiyunzong, which suffered the fewest casualties, the Immortal Alliance only lost less than 500,000 horses, and Penglai was slightly more, not more than 600,000.

The total number of casualties on both sides of the three battlefields exceeded 7.5 million, almost the previous war was close to the death rate of one year, and in the ten-year war, the loss of the monks of the human race exceeded 16 million, which is equivalent to half of the people and horses of the Eastern Continent, and the high-level monks fell countless times, countless resources, and the vitality of the human race was greatly damaged.

But even so, the two sides have no intention of stopping, with so many dead and injured people, the Immortal Alliance and the Five Continents Alliance are already inseparable hatred, and only the complete destruction of one side is the end.

Both sides are stationed on the front line, both are deploying troops, accumulating materials, and preparing for the next round of decisive battles, the powerful foundation of the Five Continents Alliance began to play a role, and the stretched finances of the Immortal Alliance began to collapse, and they could not take out much war materials, magic weapons, spirit runes, and Xuanjing, all of them were in a hurry, and the storage was extremely dangerous.

·······

On the battlefield of Yunxiao Sect, when the peerless war broke out between the Immortal Alliance and the Five Continents Alliance, the Southern Continent Alliance did not stop, and Lin Xiao, who had been preparing for a month, began to attack.

However, Lin Xiao's attack was thunderous and rainy, Lin Xiao used the old tactics, using battleships and Xuanjing cannons to bombard the opponent's camp or Lingshan, and the men and horses were on the defensive.

This kind of offensive is dissatisfied, but Lin Xiao doesn't like them at all, Lin Xiao has analyzed the situation, the Immortal Alliance is by no means the opponent of the Five Continents Alliance, the northern front will collapse sooner or later, the Southern Continent Alliance doesn't want to make this kind of fearless sacrifice at all, using Xuanjing cannons and warships to bombard, you can consume the opponent's only remaining Xuanjing, and when their Xuanjing is completely consumed, Nanzhou will win without a fight.

"Lord Lin League, Kunlun is urgent, Lu Laozu hopes that Lin League Lord will break through the defense line of Yunxiao Sect, whether to approach Tianxuanzong or go south to rescue Qingyang Sect when the time comes"

"Reply to Lu Laozu, the defense of the Yunxiao Sect front is strong, and Nanzhou is powerless to break the enemy"

"Yes, Lord Lin League, Lu Laozu asked us to transfer the battleship to the north again, how to reply"

"Reply to Lu Laozu, the cultivation of the monks of the Nanzhou army is generally low, and the offensive ability is insufficient, if the battleship is transferred, I am afraid that they will be defeated by the Yunxiao Sect."

"Yes, Lord Lin"

"Lu Laozu's third request, let us Nanzhou dispatch a batch of resources to the past, especially Xuanjing, the opening is three billion"

"Reply to Lu Laozu, Nanzhou Xuanjing itself is not enough, and I still hope that Lu Laozu will support one or two, but Nanzhou's elixir has been harvested, and it can support 50,000 materials for the first- and second-order healing elixirs."

Lin Xiao publicly responded to Lu Leiyuan at the high-level meeting in Nanzhou, he wanted to attack, I'm sorry, I don't have the ability, I want a battleship, I'm sorry, no, I want Xuanjing, what are you kidding, I don't have enough, I have a batch of elixirs, give 50,000 copies, and refine the elixir by myself.

And Lin Xiao's decision, no one at the top of Nanzhou objected, and even people like Ma Langfei, who had lived in Kunlun for thousands of years, did not dare to publish it, because the people of Nanzhou were afraid.

The Nanzhou army was invincible under the leadership of Lin Xiao, and the Nanzhou army was a little fluttering up and down before, thinking that they were still very powerful, but as soon as the data of the decisive battle in the north of Zhongzhou came out, everyone shut up.

In just a few days of war, more than seven million men and horses were killed on both sides, which is more than three times the army of Nanzhou, no matter which battlefield the army of Nanzhou is put into, there is a danger of annihilation, at this time they really see the difference between Nanzhou and Zhongzhou, if Nanzhou dies seven million people, the entire Nanzhou will collapse.

Therefore, they were extremely grateful to Lin Xiao for being able to withstand Kunlun's pressure, refuse to implement Kunlun's plan, and preserve the vitality of the Nanzhou army.

"Okay, Kunlun's order has been replied, it's time for us to talk about our own affairs, our Southern Continent Alliance is not a subordinate of the Five Continents Alliance, we don't need to obey all their orders, but we also have a bottom line, that is, we can't spoil the overall situation.

The situation before the war, the Immortal Alliance plus the Dongzhou people and horses, there were more than 10 million main forces, and now they have lost more than five million people, and the whole situation has fallen behind, but in the front line of the Qingyang Sect, they still occupy an absolute advantage, and the Immortal Sect is also unable to really defeat the Ziyun Temple because of their support for the Qingyang Sect.

Therefore, our Nanzhou Alliance has become the variable that dominates the battlefield again, we have many choices, the first choice is to break through the defense line of Yunxiao Sect, eliminate the main force of Yunxiao Sect and Tianxiao Sect, and enter Xuanyang City of Tianxuanzong, now there are not many people in Xuanyang City, we only need 800,000 horses to besiege Xuanyang City, and the rest of the people and horses will go south to harass the back road of the Seven Star Pavilion and relieve the siege for the Qingyang Sect.

And the second option is to maintain the current situation, we directly send a large army from the Shenmu Sect to the south to break the Purple Cloud Temple, although the Purple Cloud Temple still has more than two million people, but there are few high-level monks left, even our Nanzhou headquarters is not as good, we can easily join forces with the Ask Immortal Sect to break the Purple Cloud Temple, what do you think of these two choices"

"Lin Meng, choose whichever choice is beneficial"

"Yes, Lin Alliance Master, we all have no opinion, listen to you"

"Haha, you can't listen to me alone, no matter how great Lin's ability is, it's not omnipotent, we still have to work together and discuss together"

"Master Lin Meng, what are the pros and cons of these two choices, you tell everyone about it, and we can make a more favorable choice."

"Yunshuang, give you a chance to perform"

"Ah, that..."

"I don't want to say it, then I'll change people"

"No, no, no, I'll come, I'll come, all the ancestors, please listen to Yun Shuang's words, the first strategy, the advantage is that we can quickly cut the Immortal League, disturb its back road, ninety percent of the strength of the Immortal League is in Wanzhoumen, Jiangyangmen, Guiyimen, the hinterland is extremely empty, even if it is a giant city like Xuanyang City, there are only about 200,000 guards, and less than half of the elites, we can end the war faster.

However, the disadvantage is that we Nanzhou need to fight hard, the main force of Yunxiao Sect and Tianxiao Sect is in front of us, we must go through five rounds of hard fighting to force Xuanyang City, the first round is the defense line of Yunxiao Sect in front of us, and the next four rounds are the mountain gate of Yunxiao Sect and Tianxiao Sect and the big city under our command, our Nanzhou people and horses must pay a heavy price, and it is estimated that the casualties will not be less than five or six hundred thousand.

As for the second strategy, its advantage is that it is easy for us to fight, Ziyunguan will definitely not be able to stop our army, and we can easily defeat them.

And the disadvantage is that our elimination of Ziyunguan is of little significance to the entire war, Ziyunguan is unable to participate in the war, and it is no longer in the consideration of the Immortal Alliance, and it will take at least three months for our army to come and go, and in three months, we will not be able to participate in the big war under it, so after the war, the interests of Suyuzong, Tianxuanzong and other sects will not have much to do with us."

Bu Yunshuang's analysis is very in place, and everyone fell into contemplation after listening to it, this is a dilemma decision, small interests, small risks, big benefits, big risks.

"Ma Laozu, aren't you going to talk about it?"

"Lord Lin League, this, I personally think it's better to implement the first strategy, end the war quickly, and we will go home quickly."

Ma Langfei said stubbornly, the real reason he didn't dare to say, the first strategy is actually beneficial to Kunlun, which can make them die less people, but in this way, the dead will become Nanzhou's, he doesn't dare to say this, as soon as he says it, the Nanzhou monks will deal with him, because this is an act of betraying Nanzhou's interests.

"Personally, what about sanity?"

"Intellectually, of course, it is to attack Ziyunguan, persimmons have to be pinched softly, Ziyunguan is the weakest now, if you don't hit him, who will you hit"

"Ma Laozu said it well, Master Lin Meng, I have thought about it, I support the fight against Ziyunguan"

"Me too"

"Lord Lin League, let me say it bluntly, Su Yuzong has many interests, but there are also many people who can divide it, and when the time comes, it will be indispensable to prevaricate, if you fight Ziyunguan, only we will divide it with the Ask Immortal Sect, the short answer is more, our strength in Nanzhou is not enough, we can't compete with the people of the Five Continents Alliance, what do you think?"

"Very good, since everyone has agreed, let's talk about the matter of attacking Ziyunguan in the south."

Lin Xiao laughed and said, Lin Xiao was manipulating the meeting, in fact, he didn't want to enter the meat grinder battlefield like the Immortal Alliance at all, and attacking Ziyun Guan was his real purpose.
