When Yun Tianjia and the others were discussing the strategy of breaking the enemy, two or three hundred meters outside the earth fort where arrows could not be shot, several large houses were also cleaned up.

The blood tumor snake Xuanlu said straight to the point: "The opportunity has been lost, I don't think the earth fort can be defeated, it is better to accept it when it is good, and prepare to retreat." ”

"What do we see?"

The Living Yama King Fu Human Bone immediately objected: "Our three fierce sects have joined forces, plus the closed door and the opening of the door to help, we can't even take down a small earthen fort, what face will we have to see the sect leader in the future?"

The hematoma snake coughed twice, stood up and said, "Brother Fu, you can't say that. We came out this time, captured more than 6,000 Ding Zhuang, more than 9,000 young women, killed not 20,000 but 10,000, the living handed over to the red-eyed scorpion, the corpse was left to me, and the soul was detained by you, this is our new force, over time, the three of us, each of us can train another 10,000 new troops. As for oxen and horses, carts, gold and silver treasures, and livestock and grain, there are too many to count. Even if we kill all the thousands of people in the earthen fort, I have thousands of zombies, and you charge thousands more imps, so what can we do?"

The living Hell King Fu Ren Gu said coldly and sarcastically: "I said blood tumor, are you too big a tumor to squeeze your head flat? I live Hades today I can be regarded as having seen what is called a rat's eye! Look at the Five Elements Sect, but a group of rabble fighting for their own battles, in the past two years, they have actually conquered the city, divided the place, climbed the height, and responded to a hundred calls, I heard that the county town has occupied more than a dozen, and it is a prosperous situation, but we are still nested in two remote small counties where birds don't, is our Soul Sect not as good as them? Which of our teams is not better than them?"

The blood tumor snake Xuan Xuan snorted coldly: "The Five Elements Sect is just a group of bandits who are holding the homeless people hostage, how can they be compared to our Soul Conjuring Sect! Don't look at them now, they seem to have infinite scenery, and they don't know how to die when the time comes." Our sect leader is eloquent and strategic, far-sighted, and knowledgeable far beyond ordinary people. The old man's plan is not for us to blindly do it. At the beginning, we occupied Yingjiang and Qingping counties, but also to accumulate strength, develop the army, wait for the favorable opportunity of the great chaos in the world, and then unify the gods and religions, survey the country, and create immortal feats. Now, for the sake of a mere earthen fort, you do not hesitate to expose our strength, not to mention the loss of troops in vain, and it is easy to attract the officers and soldiers to vigorously eliminate us.

The Living Yama King Fu said: "Of course, what the old man said is not right. He told us to wait for the opportunity, what kind of opportunity were we waiting for? Isn't it just to take advantage of the fact that when other people are fighting with each other, we are good fishermen and profit? Now that the Five Elements Sect has taken the lead in the rebellion, and the officials and soldiers are attracted to them, it is a good time for us to develop. Is it possible that we can accumulate strength by hiding in the ravine all the time? Haven't we experienced great battles and vicious battles and have been able to train elite troops? When we encounter a hard bone that we can't gnaw on, we slap our butts and leave, this is cowardice and evasion!"

The hematoma snake Xuanlu choked for a while, picked up the liquor in front of him, raised his head and dried, slammed the wine bowl, and was about to continue arguing, when the red-eyed scorpion Dugu You, lightly patted the table, and said, "Enough! The baggage team escorting the prisoners, zombies, and supplies will not be able to return home for at least two or three days. When we leave, what should we do if the reinforcements from Huazhou Mansion and the remnants of the army in the earthen fort chase them out and attack our baggage team? Only by staying can we buy time for the baggage team. Besides, if we stay, we don't necessarily have to storm the earthen fort. This earthen fort is very strangely built, and there are Taoist priests in it, so it can't be taken advantage of. But we can't get in, and neither can they. We can besiege him without attacking, spend a few days on him first, and see who can't hold on first. In this siege of the fort, we have suffered a lot of losses, and we have to fight for a breath of air and save a little face!"

The Living Hades Fu Ren Gu happily praised: "It's still the scorpion that makes sense, I completely agree." I'm going to have people poison a lot of people in the trenches outside the fort, and if we can't attack it, we'll outwit it. Look at me, I can't poison those gray grandsons!"

The blood tumor snake Xuanlu said: "We are stranded here and can't leave, what if the official army comes to help us and wrap us dumplings?"

The living Yama King Fu Ren Gu laughed and said: "The officers and soldiers? Where did the officers and soldiers come from? They pressed the gourd and lifted the scoop, they were so busy that they were too busy to take care of themselves, how could they have time to take care of us? The swaggering army was in full swing at Fengzui Pass, and it could collapse at any time, and the Xianghe defense line behind them was fierce, and the situation was unprecedentedly tense. Once Fengzui Pass and Xianghe River were conquered, the entire Huazhou would be open to the enemy. How dare the Huazhou army fight on two fronts at this time and attack us? I expect that they must be dead and retreat into the city. ”

The blood tumor snake Xuanlu was still unconvinced, and said: "According to what you say, wouldn't it be better for us to lead the army to the Xianghe River, sneak attack the back of the Zhaoyao army, and attack the Five Elements Sect inside and outside? ”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it!" The living Hades Fu human bone is a heart and a snake with scales.

The red-eyed scorpion Dugu said quietly: "You two shut up for me, and the farther and farther you go! With the little strength we have now, how can we really go to fight with the imperial army? Isn't it because we don't die fast enough? We can despise the officials and soldiers, but we must not underestimate them, otherwise we will definitely suffer." I think it's still the same old way, encircling the point to send reinforcements, and letting the scouts out to the east and north, as far away as possible, the northern defense army, the east ti swagger army, no matter which side of the officers and soldiers come to rescue, we can set a trap ambush, those with few people, annihilate by the trend, and those with many people, report in advance, and leave. We are light and simple, familiar with the terrain, and we are afraid that we will not be able to win?"

Snake Xuanlu said: "What if there are officials and soldiers from the south?"

"To the south is the territory of Xingquan Prefecture, they don't care about themselves, they don't meddle in things. Moreover, the road to the south is treacherous, and even if they want to come, it will be at least ten days and a half months later. So the south just needs to send a few scouts to scout, just in case. Duguyou's words convinced the two of them, and they had no opinions.

The three of them determined the plan of action, and discussed specific matters such as the feint attack on the fort, the division of troops and the setting up of ambushes, the transmission of messages by scouts, and the route and sequence of emergency retreat, and then they made their own arrangements.
