"Listen!"

"Fan Xiu" pointed to his ears and pointed to the direction of Zhongying.

Looking at Vice General Zhao, his expression was puzzled and he said without any fluctuations: "It's very loud, isn't it?" ”

Vice General Zhao nodded in confusion, because the position of the battle had retreated from the front camp to the middle camp, and the voice was naturally loud.

"Don't you think it's been a little long?" "Fan Xiu" said expressionlessly.

Vice General Zhao was stunned.

A person who can be the deputy general of the city lord in the city-state army system will naturally not be a fool, looking at the meaningful eyes of "Fan Xiu", and then thinking about the order issued, Vice General Zhao turned his head and reacted completely.

"Stealing the city?!"

"Fan Xiu" nodded expressionlessly, "The Tiezhi Army is waiting for us to collapse on our own, and then take advantage of the opportunity of the rout army to overturn the city in one fell swoop." ”

Vice General Zhao's face instantly became ugly.

"Fan Xiu" ignored Vice General Zhao's ugly face, and said to himself: "We originally collected less than 3,000 defeated soldiers, right?" ”

Vice General Zhao nodded with some difficulty.

"That number has been rising since the first hour before the battle began, isn't it?" "Fan Xiu" asked expressionlessly.

"Not bad." Adjutant General Zhao nodded, "According to the report of the former battalion commander, the number of defeated troops we gathered an hour ago has reached 6,000, which is basically half of the number of people on the expedition, and according to feedback, this number is still rising." According to the figures on the last briefing, the number of our troops has been restored to 7,500 troops. ”

"But it's mostly the recruits who come back." "Fan Xiu" said affirmatively, "Judging from the situation when the middle of the Chu was in the middle of the ambush, the Tiezhi Army was definitely capable of reducing the number of troops by one-third or even more in an instant. And judging from the faintly visible squadron of wolf cavalry, at least half of our army will be killed by tailgating after the rout. ”

After a pause, "Fan Xiu", who spoke calmly but had a mocking expression on his face, said: "But the actual situation is that the number of casualties in our army is less than 2,000, and the number of people killed in the rout is only about 500. This is not the record that a crushing army should play. And according to preliminary statistics, except for those who died at the beginning, most of the people who died during the rout were experienced veterans, not recruits who were more likely to be damaged in the war. ”

"Although the Iron Child's army pursued our army after defeating it, it is now that I think that their purpose is not to annihilate us completely. It's more about driving us away, so that we are exhausted and roll back to the city. ”

"But my lord," Vice General Zhao's face furrowed, "There's no need for Tiezhicheng to do this?" ”

Many of the pro-soldiers in the line nodded in agreement.

"Fan Xiu" sighed lightly, and said in an inexplicable tone: "Because their goal is not us. ”

Without waiting for everyone to change colors, he continued, "They just need a Xiuyuan City that looks 'intact'. ”

"Why?" Vice General Zhao said in a difficult voice.

"Fan Xiu" looked at him, then at the soldiers who were lined up to listen, and said in a low voice: "Because their real target is reinforcements from the alliance, it is the entire Qin Alliance. Then he said with some difficulty: "Even, this war may just be the prelude and footnote of the next series of alliance wars. And we are now at the juncture of the history of the Alliance. ”

Hearing the speculation of "Fan Xiu", everyone was dumbfounded.

"Fan Xiu" raised his face, looked at Vice General Zhao and the 500 pro-soldiers, and said: "If Xiuyuan City is occupied intact by the Tiezhi Army, you can imagine what will happen to the completely defenseless alliance reinforcements. Even if the alliance wins in the end, my Xiuyuan City will forever hang on the pillar of shame in the history of the alliance. ”

After speaking, listening to the shouting and killing that was still lingering in the middle camp, he slowly closed his eyes.

"Behind you is home." "Fan Xiu", the hoarse and majestic voice with heavy emotions sounded faintly again when he opened his eyes.

"Fan Xiu" looked at Vice General Zhao and the 500 personal soldiers, and said in a frank tone: "Originally, there was no need to explain to you, whether as the city lord of Xiuyuan City or your direct commander. But this time, for the sake of the life and death of the 150,000 citizens of Xiuyuan City and our own life and death, as well as the posthumous name of Xiuyuan City that others and the reincarnated 'we' ourselves have heard, I think it is necessary for you to have a clear understanding of the situation. ”

Then Zhengse said: "Next, I need you to follow me to do one thing, one thing that will not be alive." ”

After digesting the shocking inference of "Fan Xiu", Vice General Zhao saluted "Fan Xiu" with a resolute expression, and said sonorously: "Please give an order." ”

500 pro-soldiers knelt on one knee at the same time and said loudly: "Please give the general an order." ”

"Behind you is home." "Fan Xiu" sighed again, "Once the Tiezhi Army occupies our city, in order to prevent the news from leaking, the 'slaughter of the city' mentioned in the 'Di Ting' intelligence will definitely happen. In the slaughter mode, whether you are a mortal or a cultivator, all the means of resurrection will be ineffective, and there is only one way to go in front of everyone: death and reincarnation. The individual strength of the cultivator is indeed very strong, but under the suppression of the army's military spirit, it can only be regarded as a slightly stronger ant. We have no way back. ”

"Our families are behind us, and our Hmong are preparing to evacuate. In order to buy enough time for our relatives and 150,000 city residents to evacuate. We have to turn back and move forward. ”

"Since the enemy wants to wait for our army to be defeated and follow the recoiling to take the city, then we can only find a way to break through in other directions. And the most suitable direction is undoubtedly the rear where our troops were driven out. We need to break through to the enemy's front. ”

"As long as we can bring up a strong enough threat to boost the morale of all our soldiers, then we will have a chance to turn the tide of the war."

"Fan Xiu" looked at everyone and said calmly: "This is a dead end, and compared with the military strength of the enemy and us, it can be said that there is no way to die." ”

Seeing that everyone was unmoved, he nodded and continued in a calm tone: "This is also a path of hope to break the shackles of fate, and it is also the only way for all of us to survive. ”

"So..." "Fan Xiu" looked at everyone with a cold expression: "Are you ready to accompany me to die?" ”

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

Listening to the three words of "battle" hoarsely voiced by Vice General Zhao and the 500 personal guards, a happy smile appeared on the majestic and cold face of "Fan Xiu", grabbed the big knife in his hand and walked to the front of the team from the queue where the personal guards automatically turned and separated, and laughed heroically: "Then, let us die together." Let's see how strong the elite soldiers of Iron City are? ”

"Triangle Charge, Warriors Rush with Me!" "Fan Xiu" raised his big sword high, and rushed towards the front of the Tiezhi Army with a loud shout.

With the formation of the triangular charging formation headed by "Fan Xiu", the originally somewhat scattered military qi instantly coiled into a tight thick mass that surrounded a few feet above the entire triangular charging formation.

If you look down from the sky above the battlefield, you can see an oval-shaped Xuanhuang gas mass rushing up in a pile of yellow mist that is slowly retreating and almost disformed, rushing towards a huge iron-gray air mass that is not too close in the fan-shaped shape in front of you.

When the Xuanhuang air mass goes upstream, some of the Huangmeng mist spreads out to both sides, and some of it automatically gathers around the Xuanhuang air mass to form wisps of "ribbons".

These ribbons that automatically gathered around the Xuanhuang Qi Regiment were the military spirit of the few remaining veterans in the remnants of the "Xiuyuan Army".

The scattered mist that spread out to both sides was the weak military spirit of the recruits who had been driven by the "Iron Child's Army".

From here, you can intuitively see the difference between veterans and recruits.

When the "streamer" of the yellow air mass collided with the fan-shaped distribution of iron-gray air mass, the contact surface of the iron-gray air mass and the yellow-colored air mass was obviously slightly indented, but after a while, the depression was refilled by the iron-gray air mass collected from both sides.

It only had time to release an attribute vitality that could only be controlled by a ground-level cultivator at the moment when the military qi of the two armies had not yet come into contact, and after killing the two dozen or so enemy soldiers facing him, the "front" led by Fan Xiu, who was possessed by Ning Yuan, collided fiercely with the fan-shaped attack surface of the "Iron Childish Army", and then staggered together.

As a newcomer to the ground level cultivator who had just broken through the school level, "Fan Xiu" had only one skill to release attribute vitality and attack, and that was the "Earth Splitting Slash" just now. To put it bluntly, it is the impact sword qi of the earth attribute.

The power of the sword qi of the attribute vitality is indeed amazing, even if it is suppressed by the military qi and negates the blow with one blow, it also kills more than 20 enemy troops, making the enemy army facing "Fan Xiu" unconsciously. And it was precisely the incomprehensible blow in the overall situation that gave the "front" brought up by "Fan Xiu" a slight possibility to break through the front of the enemy army.

It's a pity that this kind of attack, even if there is no suppression of military energy, Fan Xiu can only release it seven or eight times, and under the military spirit, this move "splitting the ground" and "Fan Xiu" can only be released once before the military spirit of the two sides is completely entangled, and it can only be released once.

One, two, three. After killing a few enemy soldiers, Ning Yuan gradually became familiar with Fan Xiu's tactics, and the subsequent killing became simpler. Although Fan Xiu has a lot of tactics, there are only three knives that are most commonly used in war: one to cut off the neck and behead, one to cut the heart obliquely, and one to cut off the waist and body. It was simple and brutal, but with the physical talent of the second realm of Shang Fan Xiu and the powerful talent that had been deepened to the power of the Nine Bulls, it became the most effective killing method.

"Fan Xiu" did not take his own troops to fight aimlessly and at will. Before making contact with the enemy, the two abilities of "Sunset" and "Yayan" were completely activated, and through the detailed reproduction of "Sunset" and the calculation ability of "Yayan", they purposefully advanced towards the weak points of the frontal enemy and the weak points of the formation.

Under the leadership of "Fan Xiu" decisive and brutal killing, and in the high morale of the rising will to die, "Fan Xiu" and Vice General Zhao led 500 personal soldiers not to be quickly defeated under the encirclement of several times the enemy army, but rose up with a more and more courageous momentum. And after seeing that the city lords would fight as the front, the veterans who were originally only attached to them because of experience and combat instinct quickly and completely integrated into the triangular charge formation led by "Fan Xiu".
