Chapter 893: The War Is Deadlocked
The development of the next situation was indeed expected by the high-level leaders of the Hundred Flowers Palace. The decent army did not have any doubts about the surrender of the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace. With the buffer of these few days, the final plan of the Hundred Flowers Palace is about to be completed. Another sharp decrease in the number of surrenders finally made the decent army unable to wait, if it were not for the great efforts of the commander to stop it, those disciples who were captured or pretended to surrender would probably have suffered miserably. In fact, the five Supreme Elders who had already appeared did not agree to slaughter the captives and surrender in front of the two armies, because in this way, it would only provoke the desperate resistance of the opponent.
Because the disparity in strength is too great, although the decent army deliberately preserves its strength, it is still advancing towards the hinterland of the Hundred Flowers Palace at a slow speed. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the Hundred Flowers Palace is completely captured. This also made the morale of the decent army even higher.
However, the top echelons of the decent army, including the five Supreme Elders, all faintly sensed that something was wrong. Because, although the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace are desperately resisting with the help of the terrain, so far, it seems that no real master has participated in the battle. The five elders of the Hundred Flowers Palace who had attacked at night were also nowhere to be found. It seems that the Hundred Flowers Palace is in full swing preparing for something, otherwise, the real master of the Hundred Flowers Palace is to escape through the secret passage. But either possibility, it seems to be extremely detrimental to the decent army.
Of course, even so, in many storms, there were inevitably casualties among the decent army. Fortunately, with the huge advantage in numbers, and the fact that there were no real masters in the Hundred Flowers Palace to participate in the battle, such casualties were still within the bearable range. Moreover, the casualties were all cannon fodder-type figures, and there were no real elite disciples of the ten major sects. Therefore, the five Supreme Elders, who had learned a little bit of the inside story, were even less concerned about this kind of casualties, and even some were even more happy to see such casualties.
Under the "fierce" attack, the territory of the Hundred Flowers Palace was quickly reduced to only one-tenth of its original size. At this moment, this area of more than ten miles has been surrounded by a decent army. If there is no secret underground passage, it will be difficult for the "remnants" of the Hundred Flowers Palace to fly even if they have wings.
However, it is precisely because of the core of the Hundred Flowers Palace that both the fortifications and the number of real masters participating in the battle are no longer the same. Therefore, the offensive of the decent army was finally successfully stopped. The fierce fighting between the two sides has also begun to appear stalemate.
Of course, the decent army firmly believes that this is only temporary, because if it is about the consumption of personnel, how can a small Baihua Palace be compared with the entire decent? Moreover, after being surrounded, from the perspective of material supply alone, the Baihua Palace will definitely not be able to support it for too long.
In such a state of mind, the attack of the decent army is inevitably a little slack. But this situation is what the Drifting Commander, as a commander-in-chief, is happy to see. Therefore, instead of stopping it, it has either explicitly or covertly fueled the trouble. Due to the fact that in the course of the previous battles, Commander Piao Wuxian had accumulated great prestige, so many disciples of the Ten Great Sects turned a deaf ear to the orders of the five Supreme Elders. This couldn't help but make the five Supreme Elders very angry. However, since he had publicly promised that after temporarily taking over the leader of the sect, he would definitely obey the orders of the "commander-in-chief", so it was not good to rely on the old man to blame the untraceable commander, let alone obstruct it.
After another two days, the five Supreme Elders saw that the decent army had not been able to advance even an inch of land, and finally couldn't help the anxiety in their hearts and had a secret meeting with the commander Piao Wupiao in the big tent of the Chinese army.
"Nephew Piaoshi, what is the situation now? Seeing that victory is imminent, why don't our army go all at once?" Moreover, his title of "nephew" also has a deep meaning: I am not interfering in your command as an elder, but only as an elder to care about a junior.
"Perhaps, with one blow, there is a slight possibility of taking the Hundred Flowers Palace in one fell swoop. But then, how heavy will it be?" asked Drift Without a Trace with a nonchalant expression.
"I'm afraid that if it's too late, it will change. If the evil sect army comes to help, won't our army suffer even more casualties?" the Tang Sect Supreme Elder questioned disapprovingly.
"Please forgive the little nephew for being rude. Drifting without a trace, he bowed down.
"There is no need for this nephew, there is nothing wrong with saying it. ”
After listening to the words of the elder of the Xingyi Sect, he said with a straight expression: "Could it be that the coming of the evil sect army is exactly what you are happy to see?"
When the five Supreme Elders heard this, they were all shocked, and among them, the Supreme Elder of the Xingyi Sect also asked tentatively, "Why did the Floating Nephew say this?"
"Don't worry, such a secret, the head of the contemptible faction will not reveal it to his subordinates. Piao Wuxian first laughed at himself, and then continued in a firm tone, "It's just that the army sent this time is all young people, if you want to say that I am decent and have no intentions, the little nephew will definitely not believe it!"
These five Supreme Elders are all old and sophisticated, and they know that with the intelligence of the young people in front of them, some things can be concealed without deliberately concealing them. Therefore, I don't want to dwell too much on this matter.
"Even so, if we fail to take the Hundred Flowers Palace before the evil sect army rushes to help, and then we will be attacked by the enemy, will the situation be very bad?" said the Flying Heaven Sect Supreme Elder with a melancholy expression.
After thinking for a while, he replied confidently: "First, the little nephew has already sent a large number of scouts in the outer ten miles, as long as there is a disturbance, we will be able to know it as soon as possible, and second, we have indeed discovered the eyeliner of the evil sect that is good at hiding traces......
"What? What about these eyeliner?" the Tang Sect Elder exclaimed in a somewhat dismayed manner.
"Naturally, I didn't see it. Drifting back disapprovingly.
"How can you pretend that you didn't see it, why don't you arrest them all?" asked the Tang Sect Elder angrily. At a glance, you can see that this hatred for the evil sect has gone deep into the bone marrow.
"Hehe, if my expectations are correct, then this time the evil sect not only wants to 'make a profit', but also wants to 'borrow a knife to kill people'. If we fail to succeed in exterminating the Hundred Flowers Palace, then their goal will not be achieved, and naturally they will not rush to the aid of the army. ”
The hearts of the five Supreme Elders were shocked again. In the end, it was the Tang Sect Elder Taishang who spoke: "It's just ......"
