Episode 38 Spiritual Disadvantage
Hearing the attack of the Vietnamese army, everyone was shocked, and the face of the scattered cultivation army changed greatly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After all, they had fought with a Vietnamese army not long ago, and there were many casualties, and the soldiers were in urgent need of rest, and at this moment, they were facing another attack by the Vietnamese army, and they didn't know how much they would have to pay. But they didn't know that the large army of the Vietnamese army had actually left Tianlun Peak, and they thought that it was the entire Vietnamese army that was attacking.
Lin Da was also very shocked in his heart, but on the surface he was calm and composed, and immediately ordered the officer who sent the message: "Immediately launch a battle alarm and order all personnel to enter the combat post! Prepare to fight to the death with the Vietnamese army!"
Hearing the hint of firmness in Linda's tone, everyone's hearts suddenly sank. If it was really a large-scale attack by the Vietnamese army this time, the mortal legion and the scattered cultivation legion would definitely not be opponents, and defeat would be inevitable. But surrender was absolutely impossible, and in the war between the Xiuzhen kingdoms, the treatment of the soldiers was either forcibly banned, abolished and then sold into slavery, or all were exterminated. After all, the soldiers are all cultivators, and letting any of them go is to let the tiger return to the mountain. Therefore, in the Xiuzhen War, few soldiers were willing to be prisoners, either resisting to the end or fleeing.
Thinking of the brutality of the Vietnamese army and their own situation, everyone suddenly rose up to fight to the death, rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to fight to the death, so that there may still be a chance of survival. After thinking about this, the generals immediately calmed down.
"Commander Kui, Brother Shen Hao, the two of you should lead the Scattered Cultivation Legion to get ready! Let all the troops garrison their positions according to the originally allocated area, no matter what the offensive of the Vietnamese army is, no one must abandon the position without the order of the command, otherwise the military law will deal with it! You don't have any opinion on this, right?" Lin Da first gave an order to the officers of the Mortal Legion, and then instructed the leaders of the Scattered Cultivation Legion present.
When Kui Feng and Shen Hao heard Lin Da's words, their hearts suddenly sank. Although Linda's cultivation was only at the beginning of the realm, and he was slightly weaker than them, the two of them not only neglected Linda's orders at all. On the one hand, because Linda had just been appointed as the commander of the Scattered Cultivation Legion, the official rank was the highest among all the people present, and more importantly, the strong strength of the mortal legion led by Linda in the previous battle at Yongwuguan was even more impressive. Whether it was the combat effectiveness of the mortal legions, or the command and combat ability of Lin Da and the others, Kui Feng and the others thought that they were inferior, and involuntarily formed the idea of being led by Lin Da.
The two glanced at each other, and Kui Feng immediately nodded and said, "Your subordinates understand! Please rest assured that Commander Lin, the Scattered Cultivation Legion will not let you down, and we will live and die with the position!" After speaking, he immediately asked Shen Hao to lead the other officers to carry out the battle deployment, while he stayed in the camp and waited for Lin Da's other orders.
Seeing such an attitude of the Scattered Cultivation Corps, Lin Da suddenly secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and issued one battle order after another in an orderly manner, and soon, the entire Houshan position suddenly became active, and each position was full of soldiers with firm fighting spirit, full of the strong atmosphere of a big battle.
After Linda was deployed, he immediately led four people, including Schroeder, Tang Long, Modern and Kui Feng, to fly over the camp on the flying magic plate to observe the actions of the incoming Vietnamese army from afar.
I saw that more than ten miles away, the secret Vietnamese army was approaching here step by step from the foot of Tianlun Peak, and the number of people was probably nearly 10,000. There were also hundreds of Vietnamese pilots circling in the air, constantly observing the situation in the rear mountain positions.
Lin Da was not worried that these Gui troops would attack immediately, after all, the Houshan position was not like Yongwu Pass, where the Gui army had previously set up a solid protective array. Although it is not as good as the Tianlun Peak Great Array, it is not something that the Vietnamese army can easily break.
"There are so many Vietnamese troops! What can I do!" Kui Feng shouted when he saw the dense Vietnamese troops in the distance.
"That's only seven or eight thousand people, much less than originally estimated! Isn't there more than 100,000 people in the Vietnamese army, how can only these people come to attack? Where did the others go?" Schroeder was not at all as nervous as Kui Feng, but looked at the Vietnamese army in the distance with a relaxed face.
"I think that the Vietnamese army has already sensed the movement of the Gui army and asked the large army to pursue the main force of the Gui army? These Vietnamese troops attacking us may only be a part. Tang Long touched his cleanly shaved chin, and analyzed it seriously, and really let him guess the approximate idea.
"Well, I think that's the case. The main target of the Vietnamese army must be the main force of the Gui army, but they want to completely occupy the entire Tianlun Peak, so they sent a part of the army to attack us. In this way, we don't have a chance to win!" Schroeder said excitedly, and his self-confidence suddenly increased.
Captain Modern, who had rarely spoken, had an unusually calm face at the moment, but he was not at all nervous about the upcoming battle, and said lightly: "No matter how many enemies there are, as long as we have enough shells, it will never be a problem to deal with them!"
In the previous battles, the mortal legions had defeated the enemy with weapons such as artillery that could attack from a distance, which made Modern and the others full of confidence in their weapons, so they didn't feel much worry about the Vietnamese army's attack.
However, when Kui Feng saw that the generals of the mortal legion were so confident, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although Tang Long and the others only had a late Qi Realm cultivation, which was much weaker than him, in front of several people, Kui Feng actually felt a trace of awe, after experiencing the battle of Yongwu Pass, Kui Feng couldn't help but secretly admire these mortal legion generals who seemed to have low cultivation.
Linda had been silently looking into the distance and had not interjected to say anything. However, when he inadvertently looked at the Vietnamese army in the distance, he suddenly felt an inexplicable danger enveloping his body, as if he was being targeted by some terrible creature, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly looked in the direction where he felt dangerous, but found nothing.
"What's going on?Lynda, why do you look like this?!"
Seeing Lin Da like this, Tang Long and the others immediately asked with concern. Lin Da shook his head, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and pretended to be casual and said: "It's nothing! It's just a little tired! Let's go down! Now that the Vietnamese army has entered the range of artillery, we can't miss this opportunity to strike first!" After speaking, he flew to the position below without looking back.
Seeing Lin Da leaving in such a hurry, Tang Long and the others first glanced at each other strangely, glanced in the direction that Lin Da was looking at in the distance, and continued to scan several times with their spiritual sense, but they didn't find anything, and then immediately followed Lin Da back to the camp headquarters.
As soon as he returned to the camp, Linda immediately ordered all the formations to be defended in the entire back mountain position, which made him feel a little more at ease.
"Dan Realm Cultivator's Spiritual Sense?!"
Linda recalled the feeling she had just felt in the air, and a terrible thought flashed through her heart, and she muttered to herself. He did feel that he was being swept away by the spiritual sense of a certain high-ranking monk, and he was extremely concerned about him, which made Linda immediately feel the danger and quickly hide back in the big array. However, he also understood that as long as the protective array of the Houshan position had not been broken, as long as he was still in the army, the Vietnamese army would not be able to do anything to him, and Linda was still more relieved about this.
After a while, Lin Da stabilized his mood a little, and a hint of fierceness suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly ordered: "Artillery troops, start attacking now!"
In a hidden Vietnamese army position more than ten miles away from the mortal army's position, a tall and thin general was sitting with his eyes closed, looking majestic in a row, this person was General Luo, the commander of the Vietnamese army who was responsible for attacking the rear mountain position. It was he who had just used his spiritual sense to probe the position in the back mountain where the mortal legions were stationed, easily discovered the location of Linda and the others, and locked on to Linda with the Divine Mind Secret Technique.
"Is that person Linda, the leader of the Gui army's requisitioned soldiers? It's just the early stage of the realm, what's so special? If it weren't for the protection of them in a large array, they would have flown over and take down this son's head!" General Luo said with a look of contempt.
"However, according to the reports of Yousang's subordinates who escaped back, those Gui State recruits soldiers seem to have some special magic weapons that can carry out long-range attacks, and they are not very powerful. What is that? When did this kind of thing appear in Guiguo? It's a bit of a hassle... But if it's just those weapons, it's not impossible to avoid them... Hehehe, it's just a group of low-level monks, even if they make some strange things, they are still low-level monks, how capable can they be!" General Luo suddenly thought of some countermeasures, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
A huge spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from his body, and the huge mana in his body was suddenly transformed into a huge spiritual sense, and he continued to sweep towards the back mountain position. After casting this secret of strengthening spiritual sense, his powerful spiritual sense suddenly covered the entire back mountain position, and even the protective shield of the large array could not stop it in the slightest, and anything with a little spiritual power in the entire mortal legion position could not escape the detection of his spiritual sense, and every move of the mortal legion was suddenly under its surveillance.
"It turns out that the deployment of these Gui troops is like this, hehe, it seems that this Linda does know a little bit about the art of war, but what role can this play... Huh? Those Gui soldiers seem to be operating something, are they going to activate those long-range attack weapons?"
Although General Luo could not use his spiritual sense to detect the artillery and other weapons in the mortal legion that did not have any spiritual power fluctuations, he clearly found that the soldiers who were operating the artillery were doing the strange movements of operating the artillery in unison and quickly, and suddenly remembered something.
Soon, the rumbling of artillery in the distance confirmed his suspicions. Every operation of the soldiers on the artillery position of the Mortal Legion dropped a powerful explosive on the head of the attacking Vietnamese army, which soon caused a lot of casualties to the Vietnamese army.
"General! The troops attacking the Gui army's position have been attacked by an unknown attack, and now there are more than 200 casualties!" A Vietnamese officer hurriedly sent back a message from the front, and General You's brows suddenly frowned after hearing this.
"So that's really the case! These Gui soldiers are actually operating long-range attack weapons! But how do they control the aiming of those weapons? Do they rely on their spiritual sense? But the highest cultivation among them is only a mere realm cultivator, and their spiritual sense can only extend two or three miles away, right? How can they be so accurate? Could it be that they rely on their eyesight to control the direction of their weapons? Huh? I see!"
General You suddenly thought of a countermeasure, and immediately ordered: "Immediately order all troops to stop the attack and withdraw to a place where the Gui army can't see!"
Soon, Lin Da was surprised to find that the Vietnamese army had actually stopped attacking, and retreated to the vicinity of Tianlun Peak to hide, at such a distance, so that the mortal legions that had always only used their eyes to observe and attack the enemy were suddenly helpless.
"What does the Vietnamese army want to do?" Seeing the Vietnamese army's actions like this, Lin Da immediately felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and immediately ordered all the soldiers to strengthen their defenses to prevent the Vietnamese army's sneak attack.
Lynda's unease soon became a reality. Although the Vietnamese army suspended the attack at this time, on the same night, thousands of Vietnamese troops launched an attack on the rear mountain positions from all directions under the cover of night.
In this battle, the Vietnamese army cunningly took advantage of the weakness of the mortal legion in poor vision at night and insufficient spiritual detection distance, and sent several elite troops to break through to the position of the mortal legion in one go. When Lin Da and others found out, most of the Vietnamese army had broken through the protection of the position, and there was no time to support it with artillery. Overnight, the Houshan position was unexpectedly overtaken by the Vietnamese army in a row, and several weakly defended positions were overcome.
After this raid, for several days, the Vietnamese army saw the weakness of the mortal legion, and constantly launched attacks on the Gui army at night, and they seemed to be able to predict the deployment of the mortal legion in advance, and specially selected those weak places of the defenders to attack. The cunning Vietnamese army also deliberately cast a concealment spell during the attack, and the soldiers of the mortal legion did not discover the enemy until the Vietnamese army rushed to less than 100 meters, and they were killed every time. And once Linda transferred troops to reinforce the positions of the Vietnamese army's attack, the Vietnamese army suddenly stopped the offensive and carried out a transfer, each time the reinforcements were empty. What's even worse is that this covert attack tactic of the Vietnamese army made the powerful long-distance combat advantage of the mortal army unable to play a role at all, and had to engage in close-range combat with the Vietnamese army, which was not good at.
After some scrutiny, Lin Da and the others realized that their every move was detected by the spiritual sense of the Danjing general of the Vietnamese army, so they could easily find their own troop deployment and defense loopholes, and make various countermeasures in time. It was only then that Linda realized that the monk's spiritual sense was like a radar on the earth, and the turnstile was used to detect the enemy. It was precisely because of the monk's lack of spiritual knowledge that the mortal legion suffered a great loss.
As a result, Linda had to order the mortal legions to continuously shrink their defenses to avoid the increasingly frequent attacks of the Vietnamese army. However, this move still could not effectively deal with the surprise attack of the Vietnamese army, and the casualties of the army were increasing, and this unfavorable situation made Linda constantly worried.
Seven days later, on the night, the Vietnamese army suddenly poured out of the nest and launched another fierce attack on the rear mountain position, and Linda sat in the big tent of the headquarters, nervously deploying various troops to resist the attack of the Vietnamese army. At this moment, an officer hurriedly broke in from outside the tent and reported to him eagerly: "Commander Lin! We're going to be unable to hold on!" )
