Chapter 1620: Victory and Stalemate

It was not an easy task to conquer the Scales Palace, which was surrounded by millions of troops of the Ling Clan, and the real situation was far more difficult than all treasure hunters thought.

The first is the attitude of the sixteen Ling clan powerhouses, even if there is a previous temptation in this regard, after all, it can only be tested that the other party does not make a move within a certain distance, and if you want to go further, it may not be, you need to know that at this time, the sea realm king is still three hundred miles away from the place where everyone is, and the encirclement of the main force of the Ling clan army starts from one hundred and forty or fifty miles away, if you want to move forward, in addition to facing the encirclement and interception of the Ling clan army on the waterway, how to break through to the periphery of the main force of the Ling clan army is also a huge problem.

What's more, since you know that most of these so-called Ling Clan armies are not regular armies, then everyone must be prepared to fight against the more powerful regular army.

In addition, when it was not easy to break through the encirclement of the Ling Clan and reach the King Capital of the Sea Realm, how to reduce casualties under the siege of the sixteen top masters of the Ling Clan was also a problem that all the people in the team who had advanced cultivation needed to take seriously, after all, everyone's strength and number were so much, and if they were affected by a master, they would almost be wiped out, and if they were not completely destroyed, they would be disabled.

In this regard, the only people on this side who can clearly fight are Tian Hong and Xiao Sha, who have the highest cultivation in addition to Xiao Sha and can burst out in a short period of time after being blessed by Xiao Sha. I can only hope that the things that can be encountered along the way and the third force behind Dongfang Yu can give some help at a critical time.

……

The meal took about an hour and a half, and after everyone had eaten, drunk and rested for a while, the army of treasure hunters who had regained their courage set off again, and the target was still the Valhalla that Xiao Sha had originally planned.

This seems to be a bit different from the final destination, the Scaly Palace, but it is actually one of the necessary processes, the treasure hunter army is weak and strong, even if it seems to be active, it is still dangerous, and the necessary temptation is still the top priority at the moment.

For this reason, Xiao Sha's temporary tactics are to attack the east and the west!

Valhalla is located more than ten miles northwest of the royal capital, surrounded by the main army of the Ling clan in the depths, although it is not everyone's final destination, it is useless, in fact, as Xiao Sha said, this place is still the best place to try.

In today's situation, the treasure hunter army came from the west and wanted to rush to the northwest through the waterway, there are two checkpoints to obstruct it, one is the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Ling tribe that spread around to form a loose encirclement after the previous defeat, and the other is a large number of soldiers and horses of the Ling tribe who form a huge encirclement of the main army of the Ling tribe in the eight directions of northeast, south, southeast, southwest and northwest one hundred or dozens of miles away and northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest.

Get rid of the temporary attack force that the main army may disperse at any time during this period, and everyone will have to face a lot of difficulties!

Luckily, any warmaker can use the subject to mediate in any confrontation that relies too much on the terrain, even if there are flying masters in the team who ignore the terrain and fight on the ground.

For example, at this moment, the place where the survivor army is located is directly west of the royal capital, and the left and right sides are the terrain of barren mountains that occasionally emerge from the water or some strange higher terrain ruins, and there are still places where you can play by taking the waterway, and even everyone has some of their own small methods for water combat, but after all, it is just passive to fight more with less.

At this time, hundreds of thousands of previously defeated Ling soldiers spread out in this mixed terrain to surround them, because the distance between the troops and the dispersion of troops gave them an opportunity.

So after leaving the barren mountain, Xiao Sha decided to break through the encirclement with the method of attacking the west with the sound of the east, aiming at the Valhalla in the northwest, but the route taken by the army was in the southwest direction, and the momentum seemed to be a great detour to the southwest.

……

Of course, the Ling army is not stupid, but at this time, the Sea Realm King cannot tolerate variables, and immediately the encirclement of the hundreds of thousands of Ling Clan army that originally surrounded them also moved rapidly, deflecting more than ten miles from the west, and following them to the southwest like a red circle surrounded by a red dot, during which the two armies were always separated by miles and never clashed even when they were closest to each other.

The army of treasure hunters walks the Rhizo like walking dogs, while the Rhizo army is stubbornly pestered and keeps the pressure on them, trying to lock them in and entangle them, making them afraid of wherever they go.

However, after slowly moving forward for about twenty miles, Xiao Sha gave an order, and the palm, fist, and leg in the team, which were the three parts with relatively deep internal strength among the twenty-four parts, including the outer one, which everyone had been hiding and did not use as a special move to press the bottom of the box, made a full attack, and pushed all the rafts with true qi Like a sharp arrow, they suddenly turned around and rushed towards the Ling clan army behind them, which was only a few miles away.

Before the Ling army could react, Yu Xiaoyao, Xiao Sha and a few other people who practiced cold attribute internal skills or moves made a move, and sealed the water surface of the Ling soldiers that came into contact with this section, and then the hammer smashed the ice with a thunderous force, and killed a large number of Ling soldiers with the strength of the twenty-four martial arts style across the mountain and the bull, tore a gap, quickly broke through the encirclement, and went northwest.

……

This time, the entire army of treasure hunters has all gathered enough strength and can be regarded as a long-term plan, the shot is as fast as wind and thunder, from the beginning of the U-turn to the start of the battle, and then to the long departure, before and after adding up to even a quarter of a moment less than a quarter of the time, not only tearing through the encirclement of the Ling army, but also freezing thousands of Ling soldiers with special tactics, in addition to preventing a small number of Ling troops on both sides of the ice from rushing to help, hundreds of casualties are not large.

And after this battle, the entire team once again used their true qi to force acceleration to the apex and rushed straight to the northwest, surrounded by the main army of the Ling clan, and went away.

Seeing this, the Ling army, which suffered two losses in a row, did not give up after a short period of time and pursued closely, but the Ling clan, which has always been invincible, seemed to have a fluctuating military heart after suffering two losses, and many times the Ling soldiers with teeth and claws took the initiative to kill before the rear commander gave the order, trying to regain face and was killed by the army of treasure hunters.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Sha asked everyone to make a plan, while slowing down to avoid too quickly contacting the main force of the Ling clan more than a hundred miles away from being attacked front and back, and on the other hand, people constantly provoked the various Ling soldiers who became very impetuous and irritable after suffering two losses in a row in various ways.

Of course, the commander of the Ling army will not stop there, so after they have advanced for more than ten miles, he gathers all his forces to storm the army of treasure hunters, trying to inflict heavy damage on them before the army's heart is completely out of control!

In this battle, the two sides fought openly, and there were heavy casualties!

The Ling soldiers were not afraid of death, the commander did not hesitate to kill the Ling soldiers, and the fierce offensive made the treasure hunter army who launched a formation on the ice also suffered a loss, and in the end, it was Yu Xiaoyao, Wan Dan Mountain, Zhu Guizhen, Tian Hong, these masters shot to kill the strongest remaining Ling people, and at the same time, the large array advanced to completely defeat this Ling army.

In this battle, the army of treasure hunters suffered more than 4,000 casualties and nearly 5,000 wounded, and 6,000 or 7,000 wounded, and at the beginning of the middle period, they were enraged to the point that they were almost completely out of control, and the Ling army, which fought only by instinct, was slaughtered more than 300,000 and all the master commanders were killed, and only more than 100,000 or 200,000 were scattered and fled under the leadership of a few low-level generals.

To be honest, in the face of the Ling clan and the treasure hunter army, such a record is quite good, not only fighting more with less and defeating the strong with the weak, but also killing so many Ling soldiers who are stronger than fellow practitioners in individual confrontations, but also allowing some elite martial artists from the outer part who accelerated the raft with their true qi along the way, as well as some masters such as Han Yulou, a sick scholar who was injured and not healed in the last battle of Xuanyu City, to get time to recover their true qi cultivation in the center of the big array, which can be described as a big victory in a sense.

But a fact that was put in front of everyone also calmed down a lot for all the treasure hunters who were crazy about the treasures of the Scale King's Palace!

After this battle, the original team of more than 170,000 people has been sharply reduced to more than 166,000, and more than 7,000 people were injured to varying degrees in the battle, nearly half of them have become a burden, and they can no longer provide combat strength in the short term, plus the need for someone to take care of them, and the consumption of key personnel in the central part of the country, etc., at least nearly 10,000 people cannot participate in the next battle, and the combat power that everyone can use is only about 150,000 people.

This answer is not good news!

Until the last moment, Xiao Sha did not give up the habit of the wounded, so it was inevitable to be dragged down, after all, if he left them alone and let them fend for themselves, it was better to be caught and eaten by the Ling Clan, it was better to kill them on the spot and divide their bodies to be dignified, but fortunately, after this setback, which was not a setback, the impetuous and crazy people's hearts that were originally impetuous and crazy because of the treasures of the Scale King Palace provided by Dongfang Yu suffered the 'cooling' of the war again, and the army's heart became more stable, but it was not a bad thing for him.

The good news is not for nothing!

After this battle, after two uses, both everyone's confidence and the operation of the large array have become more and more skillful, and the maximum rotation speed of the second sword department has been able to increase to the level of the peak of the middle stage of the open pulse, and under the pressure of the crisis of life and death, even a small number of people who have not yet reached the peak of the middle stage of the open pulse can cooperate without thinking according to the habits that are becoming more and more familiar, and the control of the light skill footsteps and the power of the move in ice combat also have a certain experience, so everyone can be regarded as having completely mastered the ability of some water confrontations.

Secondly, due to the complete defeat of this army, the remaining more than ten or twenty thousand Ling soldiers can no longer pose a threat to the army, and the loss of four or five hundred thousand combat power of the Ling clan can be regarded as having consumed some of its strength.

……

And after the defeat in this battle, the main army of the Ling clan also moved after the last dispatch!

After the deserters fled back to the main barracks more than a hundred miles away, all the millions of Ling clan troops on the periphery of the royal capital gave up their original garrison and shrank to the royal capital for more than fifty miles in just two hours.

The Rhombic Clan's shrinkage and the army of treasure hunters with no opponents around them is a bit difficult to handle!

At this time, they seemed to have nowhere to eat, and originally wanted to take advantage of the gap between the Ling clan's troops to disperse and station, and the plan to go deep into the test was in vain, after all, at this time, the Ling clan shrank under the strength of almost even the bottom of the water, as well as the barren mountains near the royal capital, are Ling soldiers, and wherever they attack, they will be surrounded by the surrounding Ling clan army at any time, and so many Ling soldiers are enough to defeat the treasure hunter army even if they use their lives.

So the scene was deadlocked, the Ling clan no longer sent troops out, but the army of treasure hunters did not dare to move forward again because they had nowhere to start, and could only temporarily recuperate.

When the night came again, Xiao Sha had already led the army of treasure hunters to approach the royal capital more than 150 miles, and occupied a military camp with more outcrops, large enough area, and was originally a place where hundreds of thousands of Ling soldiers were stationed, and more than 130 miles ahead was the Valhalla, more than 150 miles in the past was where the ruins of the royal capital of the Taixu Sea Realm were located, and more than 50 miles ahead was the defense line of the southwest of the Ling army.

At this time, the two armies were not far apart, Xiao Sha could not force their way in, and the Ling clan, who had suffered losses during this time, also guarded the periphery of the royal capital, and this stalemate made both the treasure hunter and Xiao Sha feel huge pressure, because they couldn't find a way to break the situation for a while.
