Chapter 798: Victory or defeat is difficult to judge
Ma Langfei has been taking Chen Qixing around in circles for the past three days, he received a letter of help from A Qing very early, and later received a letter of help from Song Zuyi, but he didn't dare to lead the team to the rescue, if he went, Chen Qixing would follow, if the tens of thousands of elites of Tianxuanzong arrived, the situation would worsen.
It wasn't until he received Bai Zichen's news that he quickly moved towards Lingjing Mountain with people, and arrived at the last moment when Bai Zichen was evacuating.
Chen Qixing also joined the scattered men and horses of the Yunxiao Sect, but at this time, there were nearly 100,000 monks in Nanzhou, and the 50,000 cavalry led by Bai Zichen were not only elite, but also accumulated momentum for a long time and were in good spirits, Chen Qixing did not dare to act rashly, because their side was even worse, except for the people he brought, the rest of the men and horses did not have much fighting spirit, including the Yunxiao Sect that had been defeated several times.
In fact, the performance of the Yunxiao Sect cultivator was already extremely impressive, if the rest of the team was defeated once, it would collapse, even if it was to reunite, it would take a lot of effort, let alone fight again in a short time.
But they did it, and now their morale is sluggish, and that's because too many elite core backbones have died in battle, and without them to take the lead, the rest of the people will be discouraged.
Chen Qixing didn't attack, Bai Zichen didn't want to make trouble, the two armies were five miles apart, moving slowly, a day later, Bai Zichen led the team back to the camp of the Nanzhou army, and Chen Qixing stopped on the front of Yunxiaozong, just to make up for the gap that was broken by Bai Zichen.
The Nanzhou army was ready, as soon as they returned, there were people to rescue the wounded, let those monks who had fought for a long time rest, etc., and the shadow stones on their bodies were also taken away to record their exploits.
Lin Xiao is to take people to inspect the front line, in order to respond to this operation, Lin Xiao led more than a million people to attack the opponent's defense line, the two sides fought fiercely for three days, just withdrawn, this time the Nanzhou army was killed and wounded more than 100,000 horses, Yunxiaozong's battle line was almost broken, and the casualties were not low, Yunxiaozong once again re-examined Nanzhou's combat power.
"Master, Ah Qing's bones were not found, they blew themselves up, and there was nothing left"
"I know, does A-Qing have any descendants?"
"As far as I know, anyone who asks the night stalker should know more"
"Well, if there is, transfer Ah Qing's exploits to them, and treat them well"
Lin Xiao nodded, there are not many high-level people in the Heavenly Saint Sect who get married and have children, many people are alone, for the fall of Ah Qing, Lin Xiao has a very complicated mood, he is not like he was back then, the sadness brought by the departure of the old man is no longer so obvious, Lin Xiao has accepted this reality, birth, old age, sickness and death, as long as he does not become an immortal, he will never be avoidable.
"Boss, what should I do with the planned meritorious deeds reward this time, Ah Qing didn't have to die"
Bai Zichen learned a lot of news from Song Zuyi, and this time the plan was full of loopholes, both strategic and execution.
Ma Langfei did not strictly abide by the discipline, he should have led the team back immediately after intercepting Tianxuanzong, but he didn't, and Dai Laozu's fighting spirit was not firm, which directly caused Ah Qing's death, according to Bai Zichen's character, these people must all be punished.
"I don't mention this, it's inconvenient"
"Boss..."
"The big picture matters"
Lin Xiao shook his head, Ma Langfei is the ancestor of the Tianyue Sect, and Dai is the ancestor of Wanjingmen, and he is the monk of the Divine Void Period of the Qi Kingdom, if Lin Xiao punishes them, it will inevitably make the monks of the two countries feel guilty, which is very unfavorable to the overall situation of Nanzhou.
Lin Xiao must consider the interests of the whole, and although they are at fault, their crimes do not lead to death, so it is still difficult to punish them, Lin Xiao can only hold down this matter and not mention it, so as not to hurt the harmony.
Five days later, all the data of this operation were roughly counted, this time the operation dispatched 170,000 people, of which 120,000 were monks from the headquarters of Nanzhou, but less than 70,000 returned, more than 40,000 people died directly in battle, and nearly 10,000 people were missing.
Three monks of the Divine Void Period were killed in the battle, including the supreme commander Yang Qing, and more than 3,000 seriously wounded were sent back, and the losses were not insignificant.
However, the results of the battle are also rich, in this battle, the Nanzhou monks snatched most of the six spiritual mountains of the spirit valley, a total of more than 500 million catties, just the storage bags above the fourth order contained more than 800 catties, and the burned at least hundreds of millions of catties, the immortal alliance lost the equivalent of 200,000 acres of spiritual fields for a year's harvest.
In addition, it also broke through six fang cities, coerced three cities, the mountain gate of Lingjing Mountain was breached, and there were sixty or seventy thousand people who could count the monks, not counting the enemies killed by the Nanzhou army head-on, it can be said that this operation made Yunxiao Sect, Tianxiao Sect, and Tianxuan Sect suffer huge losses, and the war potential was further consumed.
And it's not just the Nanzhou army that is in action, the Immortal League also has similar activities in Kunlun and other places, and the Kunlun sects are also acting in the rest of the Immortal League, after all, the spirit valleys on both sides are almost mature in time, and the two sides combined, in less than ten days, billions of catties of spirit valleys have been taken away or burned, and the destructive power of the war can be seen.
After the statistics are over, it is to reward the merits of the battle, compensate for the casualties, these things have their own special person in charge, not to show it for the time being, Lin Xiao's eyes once again turned to the entire immortal cultivation world.
··········
Dongzhou, the first line of Wanghai City, Han Yuncheng of Penglai was very speechless when he looked at the millions of troops that suddenly gathered, the maturity time of the Spirit Valley of the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm is about the same, and the difference will not exceed a month, when Nanzhou was planning against the Immortal Alliance, they were also planning the Spirit Valley of Dongzhou.
How could Penglai give Dongzhou fishermen the opportunity to profit, let them expand Lingtian on a large scale just to pick peaches, and when Linggu was ripe, the army would advance and take Linggu back.
But they didn't expect that the five major academies were extremely cunning, and they also expected this possibility, when Linggu was about to mature, they mobilized millions of people, pretending to harvest Linggu, but in a blink of an eye, these people were all pushed to the front line of Wanghai City, used to guard against Penglai, and the main force of their harvesting Linggu became mortals.
It doesn't matter if the mortal labor force is poor, it doesn't matter if seven or eight people are on top of an immortal cultivator, anyway, there are many mortals, the five major academies have shown super mobilization ability and control, and tens of millions of mortals have been requisitioned in one breath to harvest the spirit valley, so that Penglai has nowhere to put his mouth, and he watched the five academies quickly harvest the spiritual rice and store it in the warehouses of major cities.
"Lin Yaohui is becoming more and more cunning, in the past, they were dealing with demon beasts, and their IQ was insufficient, but now, they have completely changed their thinking"
"There's no way around it, we can't treat the enemy as stupid, this time we made a mistake"
"This year, the five major academies have harvested at least tens of billions of catties of Linggu, which can support Zhongzhou on a large scale, we have to drag them down, and it will be a little more difficult, the results of Lin Xiao's operation are not worth mentioning compared with Dongzhou."
"Lin Xiao is a very powerful person, but it's a pity that he doesn't have enough manpower, otherwise the Immortal League is really not enough for him to fight"
Han Yuncheng shook his head, it has been more than a year since the outbreak of the war, and the level of the two alliances and the heads of each sect is undoubtedly revealed, it can be said that no one on either side is a fool, and those who can achieve the top are all human elites, and the means are extraordinary.
But to compare with the other, Lin Xiao's ability is really in the forefront, the ability to capture fighters is very strong, the three million army of Nanzhou entered the Central Continent, killed more than one million enemies, and his own losses are less than half of the opponent's, and the strategic threat is very strong, and the ability of the rest of the sect masters is still weaker than Lin Xiao.
If the entire Five Continents Alliance is handed over to him to take charge, the results will definitely be better than now, of course, this sentence is just a statement, it is impossible to do this, Lin Xiao's prestige is not enough to control the Five Continents Alliance, and Kunlun, Penglai, and the three families of Wenxian will not give them this opportunity.
The leaders of the Five Continents Alliance can only come from the three of them, they want to gather the prestige and luck of tens of millions of horses, so that they can be like the emperor of the people, and strengthen their bodies, if they make Lin Xiao the emperor of the people, then how can the interests of the three of them be guaranteed.
"Let's talk about Dongzhou, now the Xianmeng relies on Dongzhou to transport interests, if the line of Dongzhou is cut off, I'm afraid the Xianmeng won't be able to hold on for three years."
"It's three years at most, according to Lin Xiao's strategy, if there is no Dongzhou support, after half a year, their spiritual rice and other bulk materials will enter a situation of extreme shortage, and they don't even need us to create panic, they will be panicked, the seven sects of the Immortal Alliance can guarantee the use, but what about those small sects?
It will take another year for the next harvest in Linggu, and they won't be able to withstand it in half a year, either surrender, or fight back desperately, or be defeated by us, but unfortunately, Dongzhou won't have the same heart with us."
"So Senior Brother Han has a way to bring Dongzhou over?"
"It's impossible, Haoyang Sect is a hurdle that can't be overcome, the relationship between Yi Meier and Lin Xiao is very special, if you give up Haoyang Sect, Lin Xiaotu will probably not agree to the death of the fox, and the same is true for the rest of the sects.
The Haoyang Sect can't give up, the five major academies won't throw themselves to us, and as for supporting them to come up with a supreme or something, it's not a big deal."
Han Yuncheng shook his head, Haoyang Sect is a hardcore follower of the Five Continents Alliance, this is well known to everyone, once the Haoyang Sect is abandoned, then the team will not be easy to lead, I am afraid that Lin Xiao will not agree to be the first one, and the rest of the people will also be chilled.
And the desire of the five academies to unify Dongzhou is too strong, and they refuse to give up no matter what, if they don't agree to this condition, Dongzhou will not throw themselves into them, don't waste your efforts.
"We can't muster the strength to destroy the five academies now, otherwise I really want to destroy them."
"It's better to destroy them than to destroy the seven sects of the Immortal Alliance, forget it, the next strategy is to cut off the East China Sea passage between Dongzhou and the Immortal Alliance, and force them to use the teleportation array, they can consume a little bit of their strength, and they can't let it go."
Han Yuncheng shook his head, Dongzhou and the Immortal Alliance have a teleportation array connection, the cost of teleportation array teleportation is very high, if the bulk material of transporting Lingmi is sent by teleportation array, the cost will be very high, it is best to use a flying boat to cross the East China Sea, the cost will be much lower, so Penglai wants to cut off their routes, force them to use the teleportation array to transport, consume their strength, can have a little bit is a little, the advantages are all accumulated little by little.
