After being beaten in the daytime battle, and being taught a solid lesson by the powerful and rapid long-range firepower of the human army, the deflated demons were temporarily quieted, and the demons, who had suffered much less losses, were much more cautious, and they retreated a little further, and the three sides of the conflict formed an irregular triangle around the old imperial city.

"Your Majesty, confrontation is not a good thing."

Twenty miles is too close for an army that is hostile to each other, and the tremendous psychological pressure of such an enemy right under their noses can easily make people feel tired and even nervous to make wrong decisions, which is doubly tricky from a purely mental point of view than a direct attack.

Listening to Zola Hegel's opinion, Luo Zhengdao also looked worried, nodded and said:

"Do you have a better idea?"

The boatswain smiled ill-willedly, and said in a low voice:

"Maybe we can ......"

Luo Zhengdao listened to the draft plan, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously:

"Would a demon be so stupid?"

"No, they're not stupid, they just can't overcome their chaotic nature."

None of the schemes work in a vacuum, the first thing is to take advantage of the opponent's inherent weaknesses, which has never been tried and tested. In the ancient Chinese dynasties, those generals who held military power were falsely accused of rebellion, ♂ and there were not a few unlucky ghosts who died innocently in prison. It's not that the emperors in power are stupid enough to be easily fooled, and they are completely inimmune to accusations that are purely chasing after the wind and adding fuel to the fire, or even ridiculous and hilarious, but the kings were worried day and night that the generals might rebel. Knowing that the probability of this kind of thing is nine percent false, just for the last one in 10,000 real possibility, the kings who are greedy for power will not hesitate to kill them, this is the insurmountable weakness of human nature.

The innate weakness of demons is the lack of self-control, to paraphrase the old world, they are more emotional than rational, overpowering intelligence, and this problem of demons cannot be overcome no matter what.

After pondering, he nodded, and Luo Zhengdao said:

"Well, go ahead and try it! It doesn't matter if I fail, I can afford it. ”

Demon armies are a standard rabble, and their usual tactic is to gather enough numbers and then push them through in a wave, although the tactics of this sea of people are very low-tech, but this move is very suitable for the side with a numerical advantage.

As the saying goes, one trick is eaten all over the world, and since the chaotic demon army can tie with the well-organized and disciplined demons, and even repeatedly gain the upper hand, it is too wrong to underestimate their combat power because of their lack of organization.

In the daytime, the demon army that was originally going to incarnate as a demolition team to level the obstacles all the way was opened, and Luo Zhengdao, who had broken the combat power, used black technology to bluff it, but seeing that the number of demon armies was gathering more and more, and the devil army on the other side echoed across the old imperial city, the feeling of being caught in the middle was really a sentence or two. It is not a good idea to let this group of villains stay at their doorstep, although the proposal made by the boatswain is not too clever, Luo Zhengdao thought about it for a while and accepted it. Although he also felt that he might not be able to do so, no matter how he said it, he couldn't do anything here to watch the demon block the door, and he had been doing nothing, right?

Woe to the East! Beggar-thy-neighbor! The evil wisdom accumulated in China for 5,000 years is fully expressed in these idioms, and how to use it correctly is a profound philosophy that exists in one mind.

Luo Zhengdao doesn't think that he has a comrade and brother relationship with the calculating devil, if the buyer and seller can be regarded as friends, then isn't the richest man in the old world friends all over the world? In his opinion, the army of devils who were staying twenty miles away and were watching the fire from the other side of the strait was only afraid that they were more hateful than the demons who were fighting lively, and he had no psychological pressure to deliberately scare the other party.

It only takes a slender stalk of grass to tease two combative crickets, and it's just as easy to get the devil and the devil to fight, but the problem is that the premise for this outcome is that the war will not involve the close side, so it will be much more difficult to do so.

In the wilderness shrouded in the darkness of night, only the subtle chirping of insects could be heard, and the beasts that had inhabited it were either frightened away by the fierce artillery fire during the day, or they would have become the supper food of demons and devils, and the journey through this charred land made people feel as if they were in a ghost realm.

"Hey, are you ready?"

Hearing the greeting of his companions, a soldier in camouflage and with artemisia in his helmet whispered:

"Done!"

In the silence of the night, a few night owl cries were heard far away, and the commander, who was located in the rear, looked down at his pocket watch and said:

"Alright, ready to start."

There is a famous proverb in the West of the Old World, called "All roads lead to Rome", and it is also true that in the New World, it can be changed to all roads leading to the imperial city.

After thousands of years of painstaking management by the dynasties of mankind, the roads leading to the Imperial City were superior in quantity and quality to the entire main continent, and even the heaviest artillery trucks were crushed on the roads, and the pavement was paved with thick square slabs and filled with fine sand and cement without any damage. The reason why the two armies of demons and devils did not go elsewhere and ran to the vicinity of the imperial city to start a war was of course because the transportation conditions here were the most conducive to the mobile combat of the large army. Although marching in the wilderness is not an obstacle for them, the strange idea of leaving the flat and straight thoroughfares and running into the fields where they have to run one foot deep and one foot shallow, is also extremely rare and non-mainstream in the lower planes!

Seeing the flickering and regular changing light signals in the distance, the main shooter of the high-precision rifle at the ambush site made a gesture to the deputy to cover, and then he cautiously erected the ruler on the gun, carefully observed the change in wind speed, adjusted the breathing rhythm until it was in the best condition, and prepared to strike the fatal blow.

This specially selected high-precision rifle has a range of more than 2,000 yards, a range that can only be achieved theoretically due to the uncontrollable wind speed and other environmental conditions. Even a well-trained marksman who could accurately hit a target the size of a human head from a distance of 800 yards could proudly claim to be a first-class sharpshooter.

"Uhh

"Smack! Poof! ”

Metal-tipped bullets of almost identical shape to standard old-world rifle bullets flew through the darkness and pierced the skull of a night owl demon with a single blow, even though it was far stronger than a normal creature, and still looked vulnerable to armor-piercing bullets with trace amounts of adamantite gold. The shot was a standard penetrating wound, a hard bullet that pierced the skull near the temple on the left side of the demon's head, and then splattered out from the other side with cloudy brains and fist-sized bone fragments, the scene was filled from head to toe with the blockbuster elements of Western-style plasma tablets.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

It is obviously not a good idea to tease the devil who is so strict with military discipline that it is cold, but it is easier to take the bait to the devil whose thinking cannot be guessed by ordinary people's thoughts, and everyone knows that the most reliable thing about demons is that they are unreliable. At that moment, the bullet that flew from the darkness exploded the head of one of the hapless creatures wandering around the outer reaches of the demon group like a watermelon, and the blood fragments that flew out of the darkness made the demons go berserk. Nothing to do is caused by the chaotic nature of the demons, it is normal to stay in the camp and be bored, and it is normal for the companions to start slashing, not to mention that someone suddenly knocks on the door at night, the demons grab their weapons and roar in the direction of the suspected attacker's existence, and this restless night suddenly becomes lively.

On the dilapidated tower of the old imperial city, Luo Zhengdao and the boatswain raised their eyes to look at the bonfires dotted by the demon army in the distance, Zola Hegel couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and said:

"Did they succeed?"

"I don't know, but we'll see the answer soon, so be patient, Zola."

It's a rather shoddy ploy to sow discord, but life is not afraid of roughness, and everything will be fine if things are put in the right place. Following the chaotic nature of indulgence, the demons' self-control ability is infinitely close to zero, and during the day, they are suffocated by the long-range bombardment of the railgun, and the current night sniping is tantamount to dropping a fire on the dry pyre, as these guys begin to make trouble regardless of it, this will not stop the demons' bad temper and destruction even if the true god comes into the world.

"Wow! They really fought. Wow, it's too intense, is that meteorite? It's so powerful. ”

Listening to the boatswain's shout of joy, Luo Zhengdao also smiled and said:

"Well, don't pay attention to these guys, the devil is the enemy, and the devil is not our friend, as long as you protect your land and people, don't interfere in other things."

Reality is never beautiful, the world is always full of inexplicable malice towards people, otherwise where to start with the word "flying disaster"? It is precisely because life is so hard and difficult that all living beings still have to grit their teeth and stand up, and they feel that the world is sorry for them when they have nothing to do, which is the late symptom of the second disease! If the sky wants to destroy you, you also have to survive by yourself, and often shouting that I want to rebel against the heavens, often so naïve that I don't even understand how high the sky is, saying that they are frogs at the bottom of the well are suspected of slandering the IQ of amphibians. A strong man who really wants to defy the sky is never out of one mouth, and he can't brag about how great his deeds are, because there will be countless people crying and shouting and pounce on his thighs.

The fall of the main continent is a very long time compared to the lifespan of human beings, which is not long for a country, and the main goal of Luo Zhengdao to recover the old imperial city is to find the holy spring.

Now that things are generally done, it's not interesting to continue to stay in this city that is not much different from the ruins, but if you want to get out of the way, you have to ask the two groups of lower-level visitors who opened outside the city if they agree. Helplessly, his eyes widened, watching the demons and demons continue to fight fiercely for more than ten days and nights, the two sides fought to the ground, turning large areas of the field into scorched earth, until the increased follow-up forces of the two sides finally could not keep up with the attrition rate of the front line, and the two sides retreated backwards and waited for supplies and reinforcements to arrive.

Luo Zhengdao, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately seized this opportunity, loaded all the refugees temporarily settled in the imperial city and his own army on the boat, and sailed north along the canal into the tributaries of the Great River, and then headed towards Dongning
