Chapter 262: Combat Preparations

Bi Lingxiao walked in mid-air, looking down at the situation below.

Since the soul beast was recovered, Zi'an disappeared like the world evaporated, and there is no trace of it. Just before leaving, he ordered the surviving disciples and Daeron, who was disguised as a demon spirit, to go to the front line first, but not to act without permission.

The soul beast's rampage reflects the lack of control, and Zi'an must go back to deal with this problem. Otherwise, once you summon you on the battlefield, you can't distinguish between the enemy and me, but instead rush into your own camp and kill them, it will be a big joke. Zi'an's own level is not high, and I am afraid that his control over the sacrificial array is also very limited, otherwise it would not have taken so much time to adjust, but this also bought a lot of time for their side.

This is the Zhongshan border. As the local population has moved away, the houses and huts have been demolished and turned into a garrison for soldiers. This is a semi-barren area in the southeast, and the population is not large, because it is located in the Qilian Mountains, the largest mountainous area in the Zhongshan country.

In the distance, I saw the tall black mountains towering among the clouds and mist, the high ones were even thousands of feet, and the short ones were hundreds of feet. Between the mountains are dense and tall broad-leaved forests, and the adjacent canopy of huge trees is verdant, like a green dome covering the mountains. Hidden by the canopy, there are rivers, valleys, rugged narrow roads, and wide avenues. If you look closely, you can see many shadows flashing through the thin cracks between the branches and leaves. That's the armies sent by the countries.

Soldiers dressed in different armor traveled through forests and valleys, converging here from all directions. This is the rear of the coalition forces, and the main force of the coalition army is stationed in front of it for hundreds of miles, composed of elite troops and sectarian masters from various countries. The commander, the supreme commander of the strongest assembled army in the whole human world, is Xiao Jing, the general of the Zhongshan Kingdom.

To be able to become the supreme commander of the coalition forces is an incomparably glorious and great achievement. You must know that this is not an ordinary national conquest, if it is really as the Emperor Fenghe preached, it is another world war against the dark envoys, and after the victory of the war, as the commander of all mankind, he will not only obtain the honor of his own country, but the great reputation of all countries in the world, which is known to everyone! Leading mankind to defeat the darkness again, such a great achievement will surely be recorded in the annals of history with incomparably heavy pen and ink, and will be passed down forever for thousands of generations, becoming a hero in the hearts of the people of this generation and countless generations thereafter.

This general of Zhongshan is not the highest in terms of rank, and he is not the top in terms of tactics and strategy, and the reason why he can beat the famous generals of various countries and finally achieve this supreme position is only because of one point. Xiao Jing is the most outstanding guerrilla general in Zhongshan and even in the whole world.

Bi Lingxiao once made a tactical suggestion to the Emperor of Fenghe, that is, to fight while running. The military generals of various countries are either superior and brave, or they are wise and far-sighted, but most of them are good at either charge warfare or positional warfare. Xiao Jing is the only famous general who is really good at guerrilla warfare, has a certain rank, is quite strategic, and has a reputation in all countries to serve the public.

Xiao Jing is at the 8th order level, which is a huge gap compared to the 10th order peak of Rocco, the Grand Commander of Cisse. However, Rocco never won in the big and small battles under the command of Xiao Jing. This is because in every battle, Xiao Jing will not choose to face the enemy head-on.

Rocco's lone cavalry is world-famous, and its most famous is its ability to charge like a tiger. Xiao Jing was born in a family of military generals, so he naturally knows the truth of avoiding his edge and attacking his weaknesses with his own strengths. Before each battle, the terrain was surveyed in detail, and every valley and cliff was used to carry out a guerrilla strategy of flanking the enemy. The lone cavalry had the momentum to charge empty, but they could never find the enemy's direction, but exposed the weaknesses of the rear when they charged, and were often harassed. In desperation, the lone cavalry could only give up the charge and switch to a phalanx against the enemy.

The cavalry is not good at positional warfare, and they have abandoned the most effective way of fighting, so their combat power is naturally much weaker. At this time, Xiao Jing instead gathered his army and defeated it in one fell swoop with the charge that the opponent was best at.

The main purpose of this joint battle against Dongtu was to delay time for Bi Lingxiao to find a way to destroy the soul beast. The crowd tactics of launching a general offensive with all their forces will certainly be effective, but under the condition that the gap between the two sides is so huge, this will not only bring great sacrifices, but will also make the coalition soldiers who have not yet understood the truth understand the horror of the other side, and the morale of the army will be weakened, which is very unfavorable for the next strategic action.

With the Zhongshan squad, most of which were equipped with guns before the war, and the sect masters of various countries as the main force, and the archers and other professions that were good at long-range attacks as the flanks, the Jiuxia Sect and its subordinate tribes assisted from the rear, and then used the rugged mountains on the Zhongshan border to carry out guerrilla warfare. The goal is to attract and divert the attention of the other party, and resolutely avoid facing the enemy head-on. Being able to make perfect use of the terrain of Zhongshan, adjust the formation and adapt to the situation, and command such a battle, no one is more qualified to be the commander of the combined army than Xiao Jing, who grew up in Zhongshan and was a guerrilla general.

At this time, the follow-up troops were still gathering, but they were not all gathered here, but extended longitudinally according to the shape of the mountain range, and stationed at various passes. This is because there is only one general strategy this time, which is to rely on the mountains and stop the attack of the eastern soil as much as possible. If it is not possible to maneuver around the terrain, the large army will quickly retreat in small forces, harassing the main force of cavalry from all sides in the plains of the rear, and at the same time retreating in the direction of the capital.

As for the eastern army, there is also a response. The entire combined army was divided into two parts, one composed of cavalry and archers, artillery, and members of sects with long-range means of attack, which were responsible for guerrilla warfare against the main forces of eastern soil. The other part is the soldiers who are good at positional warfare, and other classes with strong attack power but unable to fight from a distance, and the task is to fight against other armies in the eastern soil.

Due to the Circle Domain, the combat power lost by Dongtu in the sect ranking battle has been fully replenished, and according to the situation that the demon spirit saw when he came to the front line, the high-level combat power was much higher than at that time. There are more than a thousand people in the squad composed of masters above the 10th order alone, and if you don't count the hidden masters and Supreme Elders raised by the various sects and royal families, it would have been unimaginable in the past. At the beginning, Bi Lingxiao brought back 500 poisonous dragons of about the 9th order to form the Spear Sect, but they all scared Bei Muyang's heart to jump out!

These main information about the enemy's combat strength were also informed to the Emperor of Fenghe. At this time, the heads of state and representatives gathered in the royal capital of Zhongshan, and they all showed surprise when they received the news.

"When did so many masters emerge from Dongtu?"

"Didn't they all wipe out the whole group in the sect ranking battle? It turns out that those are just tricks, and the real masters are actually hiding in the depths, waiting to catch us off guard?"

"There are so many powerhouses of this level all of a sudden, I don't know how long it will take to collect and cultivate. I'm afraid that the strategy of attacking and invading the eastern territory must have been planned for a long time!"

"Yes, sure enough, the Dark Envoy is not a good thing, it has been planned for a long time!"

The conference room suddenly became noisy, and the lords or representatives of various countries were filled with righteous indignation, frightened and angry at the war preparations that had been planned for war in the eastern lands. The Dark Envoy is already the target of thousands of people's revilation, not to mention that he has been concentrating on business for many years and is painstakingly planning to wage war against the world, which will naturally provoke everyone to attack him.

"But don't you think it's strange?"

Among the many emotional leaders, there were also some who did not lose their cool by the sudden news, and it was King Aaron who spoke.

"Even if Dongtu has long been ambitious, but a character with such qualifications is not a turnip and cabbage, just grab a handful, where did they find so many amazing and glamorous geniuses?"

Yalian is a large country second only to the three kingdoms, located in the northern part of the continent, separated from the three major kingdoms in the center of the continent by many small countries, and has extremely strong dominance over the surrounding regions in the northern region far away from the three kingdoms. Upon hearing of the resurgence of the Dark Envoy, the Zhongshan Kingdom called on all nations to unite to attack the enemy, and King Alian was the first to respond by expressing his willingness to join the alliance. As the leader of such a large country, King Aryan was naturally quite resourceful and very suspicious of the sudden discovery.

"King Aaron's question is right. If these masters were all excavated from the mainland, how could they be so lucky that so many young people with extraordinary qualifications appeared at the same time in just a few decades? If they were collected from other countries, there has never been a disappearance of nationals in other countries in recent years. I wonder if it happened to other countries?"

He was followed by the representative of Polya. Since the convocation was issued, King Polya was recuperating in bed due to a recurrence of an old wound and was unable to participate in the congregation in person, so he sent his eldest son, Prince RiΕ‘, to represent Polya.

"A person with such qualifications will definitely be known to one party, and if he suddenly disappears one day, it will definitely cause a certain amount of sensation. As far as I know, this is not the case in our country. ”

"So is my country. ”

"We haven't heard of it either. ”

"Me too. ”

The sound of harmony sounded one after another, and the leaders and representatives of the leaders and representatives, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shook their heads. Neither in the countries surrounding the East nor in the distant countries where there is no connection, there has never been a case of a genius going missing.

"Then it seems that there are only two reasons for the appearance of these people. King Aaron frowned as he spoke. "Either these people were collected from countries that had not joined the Alliance, or Dongtu himself had some secret of his genius in development. ”

"That's true. ”

"Is it really possible, development genius?"

"Or is it more realistic to start with countries that have never responded to the call?"

"If you can develop geniuses in batches, isn't it the same as creating peerless powerhouses in batches, it's impossible, impossible!"

"Yes, yes!"

King Aaron's words again made the chamber noisy, and the people discussed it, and they all thought that the second cause was very unlikely. The means to be able to quickly create a strong man is also the ability of human fog makers. But no matter how powerful the fog maker is, it is impossible to conjure so many masters out of thin air in a short period of time!

The short life span of human beings is one thing, and the qualification requirements for participants are another. If he is just a young man with mediocre qualifications, even if he has been assisted by medicinal mist all his life, at best, he will only break through the extreme wall, and he will not be able to reach the level of a peerless master like the 10th order.

"But it's not entirely impossible, although it's impossible for a fog maker to do it, isn't there a profession above the fog maker?" a gray-haired old man muttered suddenly. He was none other than the vassal state of Zhongshan and the king of Yue. The Yue Kingdom was destroyed, and he fled to Zhongshan under the escort of elite soldiers, and also attended the meeting at this time.

As soon as King Yue's words fell, there were immediately many doubts.
