Chapter 113: Narrowly Surrounded and Annihilated
Lu Sihai and He Guanyu naturally knew very well that the real task of their reinforcements was not to enter the Wild Goose City and defend the city with the stars in the city, but to implement a strategy to harass the enemy outside the city, so as to weaken the determination of the star beasts to attack the city.
Although this strategy is not a good strategy, but in the current situation, it is also a helpless move, after all, the difference in strength between the enemy and us is too great, even if the strength of the whole sect enters the city to defend, it is difficult to resist the repeated attacks of this million beast tide, and the city is only a matter of time before it is broken.
The best result is that with the protective array of Luoyan City and the harassment of reinforcements, the time for Luoyan City to be breached is delayed as much as possible, and the longer it is, the greater the concerns of the star beasts.
In this wasteland northland, they are not invincible, and they are afraid that if the time drags on too long, they will be surrounded and annihilated by human powerhouses.
So, theoretically, the Star Beast should have the idea of a quick solution.
However, the current situation made Lu Sihai a little incomprehensible, with the overall strength of these star beasts, they could have broken the city a long time ago, why not attack it?
"Among them, I'm afraid there is some conspiracy!" He Guanyu looked at Luoyan City in the distance, frowned and said.
Lu Sihai and the elders couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement, everyone didn't dare to underestimate these star beasts, although the IQ of low-level star beasts was very low, but the king beasts were different, they were scheming, and they were not much worse than humans.
"Everyone thinks about it, why are they besieging but not attacking, and what is their purpose?" Lu Sihai proposed.
Hearing this, everyone racked their brains to think.
"Could it be that they don't know the strength of the defenders of Falling Goose City, so they don't dare to act rashly?" someone said.
Lu Sihai shook his head and replied, "With the strength of the soul consciousness of the king beast and the strength of the defenders of Luoyan City, I am afraid that they have already felt it clearly. ”
"Could it be that they don't want to sacrifice too much and want to negotiate with us in order to win without a fight?" said another.
Lu Sihai nodded and replied, "There may be such a possibility, but as far as I know, the king beasts have never cared about the life or death of those low-level star beasts......
“......”
There are constantly people who put forward their own speculations, but they can't stand everyone's scrutiny and are rejected one by one.
Tang Chen didn't express his opinion, and after some contemplation, he said: "Siege but not attack, obviously just waiting." And what they are waiting for is definitely not the power to break the city, if they want to break the city, they can already break it. So what are they waiting for?"
At this point, he looked at the people around him, and then continued: "I think they are waiting for us, waiting for our reinforcements. Luoyan City has a large protective array, and it is quite difficult to attack.
Isn't it easier for us, the ......reinforcements, to be exposed on the grasslands, and to have nothing to rely on, rather than putting us into the city to fight, it is better to hunt us outside the city?
Hearing Tang Chen say this, everyone realized the seriousness of the situation, and their faces were shocked.
"Report! There are three star beasts moving towards us at a rapid pace!"
The disciple in charge of the investigation suddenly came to report.
When everyone heard this, they were shocked again, and they all looked at Lu Sihai and He Guanyu.
"Order! Retreat at full speed!"
Lu Sihai and He Guanyu glanced at each other, and immediately gave the order to retreat.
"Boom ......"
More than 2,000 people got the order, immediately turned the horse's head, and galloped in the direction of Shanhe City, although everyone was brave, but in the face of millions of star beasts, they couldn't help but be frightened, everyone knew that if they were surrounded by star beasts, it would really be a dead end.
Because everyone saw the opportunity early and retreated in time, they easily avoided the encirclement of the star beasts, and looked at the group of star beasts in the distance behind them retreating in a daze, and everyone couldn't help but have palpitations.
Those who participated in the discussion before looked at Tang Chen one after another, if it weren't for Tang Chen's reminder, I'm afraid that everyone didn't realize the danger so quickly, and they wouldn't have retreated so decisively, then the ending would definitely be quite miserable, not to mention the annihilation of the whole army, at least like the third batch of reinforcements, with more than half of the casualties.
According to Lu Sihai's order, the fourth batch of reinforcements settled and temporarily stationed five miles away from the beast herd.
Soon after, under the guidance of Chen Jun, the remnants of the third batch of reinforcements also arrived to join them, bringing their total number to more than 3,000.
"Elder Lu, what should we do next?" someone asked.
Lu Sihai thought for a moment and replied: "If the star beasts want to besiege the city and send reinforcements, we will naturally send them to fight, otherwise, if there are no reinforcements to fight, I am afraid that they will soon attack the city." Therefore, we still have to continue to implement the strategy of harassing the enemy, but we cannot do our best to ...... the whole army."
However, before he finished speaking, Tang Chen interrupted him and said, "Elder Lu, I don't think this is the way to break the enemy after all. If you want to repel the tide of beasts, you must at least give them a head-on blow to make them afraid, otherwise, they will definitely not retreat. ”
Lu Sihai shook his head helplessly, and said: "I don't know this truth, but the sect still has to beware of the Xuanyi Gate stabbing the knife in the back, and it is impossible for the sect's background to be taken out to deal with the beast tide......"
"What?," Tang Chen couldn't help but exclaim, he had been in retreat for the past two days, and he had no time to take care of it, and he didn't know about the threat of the Xuanyi Gate, and the top management of the sect did not announce the threat of the Xuanyi Gate, and the vast majority of the people in the sect did not know.
Lu Sihai knew that it wouldn't be known to everyone in the near future, so he didn't intend to hide it, so he nodded and replied: "They used the incident of Yanmao City as an excuse to ask us for a city as compensation while we were going to deal with the beast tide, and ...... and demand that you be placed at their disposal. ”
Tang Chen couldn't help but have a cold face, Xuanyimen's behavior of taking advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well made him very unhappy, in the face of the common enemy of human beings like the beast tide, as close neighbors, they didn't help, and they even played this kind of scheming!
At the same time, he also thought that the sect must not have agreed to the request of the Xuanyi Sect, so it would cause a war with each other, which made his heart warm again.
After the incident in Yanmao City, he didn't hear any criticism about the sect about himself, which made him feel that the sect was still very good to him, which invisibly enhanced his sense of belonging to the sect.
In the past, he felt more that he was a disciple of the Tang family in Hanyang City, but now, he is not only a disciple of the Tang family, but also a disciple of the Shanhe Sect.
When the sect was in trouble, he naturally felt the same way, so he wanted to try his best to solve it as soon as possible.
"Elder Lu, it seems that we can't hope for the fifth batch of support from the sect, we have to figure out our own way. ”
Tang Chen quickly made a decision in his heart, and then said: "I want to set up a super array, from here to Luoyan City, in this way, it is equivalent to opening a door to Luoyan City, which can not only help the people in the city escape, but also help us defend the city, killing two birds with one stone." ”
