Chapter 233 [In the Battle of Moon City]
"The Crane Wing Array has advantages and disadvantages, and this is the first time you have put it into actual combat, right? It seems to be perfect but it is actually vulnerable, of course, maybe Zhao Zhong in front of him doesn't know this, because the Crane Wing Array I have used it on the battlefield many years ago, although the opponent lost under the Crane Wing Array, but I also discovered the weakness of the Crane Wing Array. Mu Feng frowned slightly, pondered for a while, looked at Lu Dieyi seriously, and replied.
"What weakness?" Lu Dieyi was suddenly startled when she heard this, and asked eagerly with a shocked face. She had thought that Mu Feng was just joking, but she didn't expect that the Crane Wing Array, which she thought was flawless, really had any weaknesses?
As Mu Feng said, the Crane Wing Array is the first time she has been engaged in actual combat since she learned it, and she doesn't know what the specific effect is, but she just tells her that the Crane Wing Array is almost perfect, anyway, she has studied it many times and has not found any obvious shortcomings.
Under the suspicious and expectant gaze of Lu Dieyi, Incompetence, Leng Yue, and several other high-ranking generals of the West Night on the chariot platform, Mu Feng shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the wings of the crane composed of infantry and archers and a small number of cavalry in the distance, and said softly, "The main attack and defense of the Crane Wing Formation are focused on these two wings. ”
"Yes, that's why we have placed heavy troops on the wings," a Western Night general standing beside Lu Dieyi said with a puzzled expression.
"Well, the importance of the wings is self-evident, and we have discussed and studied it many times before with the Lord Land." Another general also said as a result, obviously everyone present didn't know what the meaning of Mu Feng was saying this at the moment.
"The wings are very important, you are also doing perfectly, but not invulnerable, hundreds of thousands of people are not suitable for this set of formations, the wings are too far apart, and the speed of separation and integration will be very slow, so the crane claws in the middle play the role of left and right support, but among you I don't see many cavalry, but I see the shield soldiers and reinforcements of the measurement, once the wings are frustrated, the speed of the crane claw attack will be very slow and the effect will definitely not be as strong as the cavalry." Mu Feng frowned, pointed to the military formation in front of him, and said seriously.
"The Crane Wing Array is only suitable for tens of thousands of people, and it will inevitably become scattered if there are more people, and it will be very difficult for you to command, and it will waste a lot of time when the military order is conveyed to the ears of no soldier, am I right?"
Seeing that everyone around him was silent and fell into deep thought, Mu Feng continued. "How do you say that will change?" After calmly analyzing Mu Feng's words for a while, Lu Dieyi also nodded approvingly.
"What you ignore is mobility, it is enough to take back the cavalry on both flanks and place the shield soldiers on the wings, although this will reduce mobility a little more, but the defense will be greatly enhanced." Mu Feng chuckled and waved his hand in reply.
"This~~" When the several generals present heard Mu Feng say this, they all looked at Lu Dieyi with doubts on their faces.
"Do as he says, and do it right away!" Lu Dieyi frowned and gave the order decisively.
"Yes!" After several generals respectfully bowed their hands, they stepped down from the high platform to carry out the order.
Seeing that soon after they left, the army began to change its defenses, Lu Dieyi exhaled heavily, looked at Mu Feng and said, "Sure enough, you are still a step ahead."
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with you doing this, but you ignore a problem, that is, there will inevitably be accidents when there are too many people mobilized, and it is better to increase defense capabilities than to pursue mobility." Mu Feng smiled lightly.
"If it were you, how would you break this formation of mine?" Lu Dieyi frowned, looking at Mu Feng curiously with a puzzled expression.
"It's simple, have you heard of the Glaive Array?" Mu Feng chuckled.
"Glaive? The simplest and most brutal array? Lu Dieyi said in surprise.
"Yes, the simplest is not necessarily the weakest, concentrate superior forces and cut off its wings, and the crane will not be able to fly." Mu Feng smiled and looked at the crane wing array in front of him that had re-completed the deployment of troops, and replied with his hand downward towards the open wings.
Hearing Mu Feng say this, Lu Dieyi suddenly felt a chill in his back, and looked at Mu Feng with horror in his eyes, and only after half a sound did he come back from the shock, "Hehe, it is worthy of being a once-in-a-century general, now that the reinforcements of the moon are coming from all directions, the situation is not very good for us, we don't have much time, and the large army of the West Night is also blocked, it is impossible to get close to us in a short time, will Zhao Chong use the Glaive Array to deal with us as you said?" ”
Hearing Lu Dieyi's worries and worries, Mu Feng's brows furrowed, and after thinking for a moment, he first nodded, and then shook his head, making the incompetent and others beside him confused.
"I don't know, if it was before, Zhao Chong would definitely not use the Glaive Array, because like you, he would find the Glaive Array difficult to achieve, but now I don't dare to say that I know him very well."
Just when the incompetent and others were about to ask out loud, Mu Feng opened his mouth, looked at the magnificent Moon City in the distance in a low voice, and replied with a meaningful sigh.
"But now that the formation of the army has just been formed, I am afraid it is not realistic to change it temporarily." Lu Dieyi frowned, looking at Mu Feng with some anxiety.
"Yes, it will definitely not work for a temporary change, in case they take advantage of our chaos to take advantage of the situation, it will be troublesome." Mu Feng exhaled and replied.
"Hey, I don't understand, anyway, there's nothing to do with us now, junior sister, let's find a place to eat." The incompetence who had been unable to interject on the side glanced at Leng Yue, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said.
Leng Yue nodded in agreement, with their identity, it is indeed not suitable for such a blatant conflict with an empire, this is not in line with their identity as cultivators, nor is it in line with the interests of the behemoth of the Heavenly Dao Sect behind the incompetence, in other words, the two of them are not qualified to participate in the war now, unless they stand in the Moon City and loudly announce that they have separated from the sect and become a loose cultivator who can be bought by any force.
Such a war, even if it has not yet begun, is destined to attract attention, in the vast mountains around it, the ghost knows how many pairs of eyes are staring here, and the cultivation immortal sects are already fighting between each other, and they are all eager to find the other party's handle to fall into the ground, even if the target is not their own hostile immortal gate, they will be happy to criticize it verbally and penally to show their identity and value of the righteous path.
"What are you thinking?" After seeing the incompetence and Leng Yue leave, Mu Feng leaned on the wooden railing of the chariot platform and looked at the thousands of troops and horses in front of him, and he also felt a lot in his heart, how enthusiastic he was about this kind of heart-pounding war, only on the battlefield can he feel that his blood is hot.
However, now Mu Feng is extremely eager for peace in his heart, Mu Feng now doesn't know what he should do after the city in front of him that haunts him is breached, and what can he do?
"I'm thinking about what Zhao Zhong is thinking." Facing Lu Dieyi's inquiry, Mu Feng smiled bitterly and moved his muscles and whispered to Yuecheng in the distance.
"What you should be concerned about now is how to break the city, right? I'll lend you these hundreds of thousands, and you can't let them die here. Lu Dieyi said in a cold and calm voice.
"Go up to the army to plot, then attack the enemy, then attack the army, and attack the city below." Mu Feng smiled casually, stared at the moon worship defenders under the moon city opposite, and sighed.
"Hehe, they are all your people, if you don't attack the city, you still expect Zhao Chong to come out of it and subdue the law by himself? Or are you going to deal with this impregnable Moon City in the same way that you did with our Spirit Kingdom? Lu Dieyi sneered and glanced at Mu Feng with contempt and said.
Hearing her say this, Mu Feng's heart trembled, his eyes became complicated and confused, and after pondering for a while, he let out a heavy sigh, "Hehe, I won't kill innocents indiscriminately anymore, and besides, if I'm incompetent here, he won't allow me to attack those defenseless people." ”
Although it was the best way to deal with the difficult bone of the Moon City in front of him like dealing with the Spirit Kingdom, even if Mu Feng had said that the Moon Worship would no longer be his home when he left, he had never considered concocting a war like he had against the Spirit Kingdom at all.
At the beginning, Mu Feng led his troops to invade the Spirit Kingdom and wanted to teach this small country that vacillated between the two empires of Moon Worship and Wind and Snow a lesson, but he never expected that his invincible army would have been hit hard in the territory of the Spirit Kingdom, if it wasn't for his timely decision, he would have almost caused a bad result, and then he knew that his opponent was actually Lu Dieyi, who had a past with him.
Lu Dieyi and Mu Feng are similar, they have both been familiar with the art of war since childhood, and they are like gods, if it weren't for the national strength of the Spirit Kingdom, after all, it would not be as good as a big country like Baiyue, but I am afraid that the Spirit Kingdom would have already become one of the great powers and strong armies under her leadership.
Mu Feng recalled the killing he had made in the Spirit Kingdom, and felt deeply guilty in his heart, in order to conquer the Spirit Kingdom and force them to submit, Mu Feng made a very bloody and cruel decision, besieged the national capital of the Spirit Kingdom without attacking, not only encircled the point to send reinforcements, but also continued to carry out bloody massacres of several cities of different sizes around the capital of the Spirit Kingdom, and finally the Spirit Kingdom family had no choice but to surrender, and Lu Dieyi, who was the main general of the Spirit Kingdom army at that time, disappeared after the surrender of the Spirit Kingdom.
Now that Lu Dieyi has brought up the old things again, how can he not make Mu Feng feel uneasy?
If you slaughter the weakly defended small cities around Moon City as Lu Dieyi said, the Moon Worship high-level leaders in Moon City will inevitably consider compromise, which is undoubtedly the fastest and bloodiest solution, but Mu Feng knows in his heart what kind of person Zhao Chong is, with his temperament, even if he slaughters millions of people in front of him, I am afraid that he will stubbornly resist and would rather die than surrender, not to mention that now that they are incompetent, they are in the barracks, and they will not allow themselves to attack innocent people.
"Zhao Chong is a strategist after all, and he is still lacking in leading soldiers." Mu Feng suddenly thought of something and said with some sighs.
"How so?" Lu Dieyi asked in surprise.
"Where, if I were to fight you, I would take that mountain first." Mu Feng pointed to the mountain peak that seemed a little lonely under the siege of the army and replied, at this moment, the bright banner of the Western Night was already fluttering on the mountain peak, and Zhao Chong, who was the only commanding height here, did not send troops to occupy it, which was really a bit unexpected.
"You think he doesn't? Or are you underestimating your moon-worshipping staff? Lu Dieyi chuckled.
"What do you mean?" Mu Feng looked at Lu Dieyi with some surprise and asked.
"In fact, you also have a lot of capable people to worship the moon, on the way to meet a general who worships the moon, with a mere more than 4,000 people and my 170,000 army for two days, he is a typical, I have 180,000 people in my hands from the west night, and now there are less than 140,000 people who can fight, and they have not encountered large-scale vicious battles, they have been consumed all the way by them."
Mu Feng frowned thoughtfully when he heard Lu Dieyi say this, the west night is thousands of miles away from the moon city, Lu Dieyi's speed is fast enough, it can be said that it is so fast that Mu Feng is unbelievable, but the moon worship is not all wine bags and rice bags as she said, some city lords of small cities are blocked layer by layer after discovering this strange moon worship soldiers, the thousands of miles seem to be not far away, but it is still very difficult to finish, fortunately the general of the west night this time is Lu Dieyi, Otherwise, if you are someone else, I am afraid that these 180,000 people can insist on walking to the foot of this moon city, and it is estimated that there are only a handful.
"Zhao Chong's reaction was too slow, he thought that I didn't dare to come, the soldiers were fast, I wanted to come, he didn't expect that I would ignore the small cities used to contain me in the starry night, and when we came, the people who worshiped the moon were preparing to garrison this mountain, and when we saw that we were killing violently, they were so frightened that they threw away their armor and ran into the city, you didn't see the embarrassment of those golden armor generals."
Lu Dieyi recalled the scene when she killed Yuecheng in the middle of the night, and she couldn't help but laugh, it was the first time she had encountered a guard in the imperial capital who was so undignified, and she saw the enemy who hit her door and turned around and ran away.
"Hehe, they have been comfortable for too long, the only threat in their eyes is Fengxue, a superpower like Tianshi, not the West Night, I used to think that even if dozens of small affiliated countries around joined forces, they would not be the opponent of Moon Worship, but now you are on the wrong side of the sword, which is why they are so flustered." Mu Feng smiled lightly and nodded and replied.
"Actually, it's not a sword that goes sideways, we have been discovered four hundred miles away from Yuecheng, and we have experienced more than ten battles of all sizes, and have been pinned down for a few days, and what I didn't expect is that Zhao Chong actually changed from active to passive, as if he deliberately let go of the road and let us come here."
Lu Dieyi frowned slightly and shook her head gently, she didn't seem to agree with Mu Feng's words just now, because only she knew how inexplicable she had been in the last few hundred miles.
Although Bai Yue had fierce resistance, but it was a retreat with an advantage, if it hadn't been for the discussion with Mu Feng, with her thoughtful and meticulous thinking of leading the troops, I am afraid that now she has occupied a city and is waiting to join the large army of the West Night, instead of such a reckless lone army to go deep here.
"And now that the moon is mobilizing reinforcements, I think if it's fast, a reinforcement of 30,000 people should arrive here before dark."
