Chapter 882: Strategic Significance

Hou Ying asked the wounded warriors to retreat first, then the Ruijin Banner, and finally the Fire Banner subordinate to Hou Huan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Originally, Yang Si's suggestion was broken by the Ruijin Banner, which had the strongest defensive strength, but Hou Huan thought that it was most appropriate to leave the most dangerous task to the Fire Banner Headquarters, because the Ruijin Banner was only temporarily controlled by himself, and if the loss was too serious, he would inevitably encounter some criticism when he returned to the Heavenly Demon Palace in the future, thinking that he was willing to preserve the strength of the Fire Banner and weaken the strength of the other flags. Especially at the sensitive moment when the position of the sect leader does not know who the flowers are, this kind of gossip is very fatal.

Yang Si frowned slightly. From a strategic point of view, it is definitely a mistake to break the archers of the Fire Banner with a single long-range attack power and extremely poor defensive ability, and it is a taboo for soldiers. However, Hou Huan's idea is not wrong, out of political considerations, if Hou Huan, who has returned from defeat, has any more leverage in the hands of others, then even if he returns to the Heavenly Demon Palace, he will be expelled from the power group, and he will no longer have any hope of winning the throne of the sect leader. Yang Si weighed it again and again, and had to agree with Hou Huan's approach.

The benefit of the tragic battle that the Tianshan Sword Sect had just repelled was not only to drag the main force of the Tianshan Sword Sect in Xiushuiyi, but the most important thing was to force the Tianshan Sword Sect not to rashly launch an offensive in the next battle, so it could only take a cautious and steady approach, and plan to dare to move back. In this way, it caused great convenience to the retreat of the Heavenly Demon Army. Because, even if there was any change on the side of the Heavenly Demon Army, the Tianshan Sword Sect would be suspicious and think that the Heavenly Demon Army was playing some kind of conspiracy, how could it dare to act rashly before it was confirmed?

Regarding this kind of psychology of being bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, Yang Si naturally figured it out very thoroughly. When Hou Huan asked him how to retreat, Yang Si replied with a smile: "This kind of thing is very simple, as long as we shout loudly 'We're leaving, if there is a kind of chase' and withdraw generously, I bet that no one from the Tianshan Sword Sect dares to really chase after us!" ”

This may sound ridiculous, but when you think about it, you think that this rather hilarious disguised "empty city plan" is really wonderful, and it simply brings human wisdom to the peak. Imagine that a man who has just beaten himself with a blue nose and swollen face suddenly says to you, "Come on, come and hit me, I promise not to fight back", even though the man tied his hands with a rope so strong, you still don't dare to go up and hit him, because you must think, "Although his hands are tied, who can guarantee that he will not use his feet?" He must have tried to lure me forward and kick me hard! "With the previous lesson, even idiots can be suspicious.

As Yang Si expected, when the demon army slowly retreated westward from behind the hillside singing mountain songs that day, Lu Dongcheng in Xiushui Station couldn't help but open his mouth when he looked at this unbelievable and strange scene, and said to Huo Tianyun: "Them! What the hell are they doing? Only! Just swaggered away?! Are they mentally ill? ”

"Trap! It must be a trap! You must hold your breath and not be deceived by their actions under any circumstances, lest you fall for their tricks again! Huo Tianyun wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and kept cheering himself up in his heart.

"Wow! Some people even threw away their weapons in their hands, and there were flags, laughing and making trouble, did they think it was a joke? Lu Dongcheng stared at the Heavenly Demon Army that was gradually heading west, with an incredible expression. The sound of the Heavenly Demon Army's giggling voice wafted over, which already made Huo Tianyun irritable, and Lu Dongcheng was still chattering in Rory beside him, Huo Tianyun only felt that this was simply a great test of his will. No matter from which angle you look at it, the Heavenly Demon Army in the distance looks like a group of rangers, as long as you give an order, you may be able to easily annihilate it. However, reason is reminding himself that there is no silver falling from the sky in the world, and there is no free lunch, and if he is desperate to attack the army, the result will definitely be a fiasco.

Thinking so, a wave of anger was blocked in his chest and could not be vented. This is too bullying, could it be that I, Huo Tianyun, am so incompetent in the eyes of your Heavenly Demon Palace? Can't stand even the slightest temptation? Huo Tianyun, who believed that the Heavenly Demon Army was just luring his own side to attack, was simply furious.

"Why hasn't there been any news from that old guy yet? Wouldn't it take so much effort to kill a dead fat man! Huo Tianyun said viciously to Lu Dongcheng. In his heart, Hou Huan may be the spiritual leader of the Heavenly Demon Army, but Yang Si is the soul of the Heavenly Demon Army. As long as Yang Si is eliminated, the invincible war machine of the Heavenly Demon Army will lose its momentum, and there is no need to be afraid anymore.

Lu Dongcheng heard that Huo Tianyun's tone was different, and felt that it was better to avoid it at this time, so he said, "How about my subordinates find someone to take a look?" After getting Huo Tianyun's acquiescence, he hurriedly turned around and left, for fear that Huo Tianyun would suddenly change his mind.

Du Tuzeng curled up tightly between the branches like a snake, his whole body's strength constricted in his body, and he squinted slightly at the Heavenly Demon Army that was slowly moving forward ten zhang away on the left. For the Heavenly Demon Army's fearless slow march, Du Tuzeng had a confusion similar to Huo Tianyun, but he did not fall into a confused and overwhelmed situation because of this, on the contrary, his mind calmed down even more. He is a very simple person, he will never be distracted by other things after focusing on one thing, and he belongs to the kind of person who recognizes the goal and walks all the way to the end, just like his sword, once it is unsheathed, there is no blood and no return. The purpose of his coming here was to assassinate Yang Si, and everything else was an inconsequential matter at the end of the side branch. Although he could see that the Heavenly Demon Army was slowly retreating to the west with a loose and undefended attitude, he did not care about the unusual and seemingly ulterior motive of the Heavenly Demon Army, and all his attention was focused on finding the target for assassination. Once he found Yang Si's traces, he used the power of thunder to kill Yang Si with one blow, and then quickly fled away, sending a signal to Huo Tianyun in Xiushui Station to attack the Heavenly Demon Army.

Fatso! Fatso! Recognizing a Humpty Dumpty man out of a few thousand people, and at night, was a complicated and difficult task. After layers of screening, Du Tuzeng finally targeted a young man in civilian clothes who was not good-looking. Although the young man looked extremely ordinary, even a market vendor selling stinky tofu on the street looked more imposing than him, but for some reason, his rather obscene figure gave people a feeling that could not be ignored!
