Chapter 785: A Surprise Attack by the Demon Army in the Dark Night
Hearing Jun Moxiao's question, the Tiger King subconsciously replied:
"It's impossible, they don't have any advantage in sneaking up on Tianmen Pass at night!"
Jun Moxiao was still frowning and thinking, and Baili Hefeng said solemnly:
"On the battlefield, nothing is impossible, we must not be careless, in times of war, we have always paid attention to surprise, unpreparedness, if they suddenly launch a night attack, but we are unprepared, they will be caught off guard."
Jun Moxiao also nodded and said:
"What General Baili said is very true, we leave half of the people to rest, and half of the people to strengthen the defense, which can be regarded as prepared."
The Tiger King immediately replied respectfully:
"Obey the orders of the generalissimo, and the general will arrange this."
After speaking, he withdrew from the camp of Baili Zefeng.
Jun Mo smiled at the door of the camp tent and asked casually:
"Is this Wang Hu one of the original seven people of King Mu Tianwang?"
Baili Kazufeng replied:
"Yes, he's one of them."
Jun Mo smiled and said softly:
"He doesn't look like a human race, how much does General Baili know about their information?"
Baili and Feng said in surprise:
"Huh——? Isn't he of the Terrans? Why didn't I notice it at all? ”
Jun Moxiao continued to whisper:
"Of course, it's just a personal feeling."
"Under normal circumstances, I can see through the transformation of demon beasts at a glance, but there are also some who will use special hiding methods, which make people unable to distinguish, this Wang Hu is the one who can hide them."
"The reason why I feel this way about Wang Hu is entirely because in the war more than three thousand years ago, I had fought with many shape-shifting demon beasts, so although I didn't see any flaws, I felt that he was different from normal humans."
Baili Kazufeng thought for a moment and replied:
"We've been working together for a few months, and he's always been normal, except for being burly, there's nothing abnormal, and he's bold and upright, and he's always the first to lead the army in battle, and the soldiers like him very much, and they all obey his orders and dispatches."
Jun Mo smiled and said indifferently:
"Wang Hu, Wang Hu, with a bit of a king's spirit, he is probably from the Tiger Clan, but now it seems that he has fully adapted to the identity of a human being, and he has basically regarded himself as a normal human being."
"This Mu Tianwang is really powerful, she has subdued very strong generals, and her vision is also very good, she can promote General Baili to be the general of the garrison of Yong'an City, this arrangement is very reasonable, if it is replaced by someone else, she may not be able to do as well as General Baili."
Baili Kazufeng said in an extremely respectful tone:
"Mu Tianwang's wisdom is like the sea, and her every decision is almost impeccable, but it's a pity that the current situation of Xiyu Country is difficult to save, internal and external troubles, enemies on all sides, and now it is about to become a battlefield for the battle of immortals and demons, and it is too difficult to regain its prestige."
"I guess I can only do my best and obey the fate of God."
Jun Moxiao also said helplessly:
"Yes, even if the Five Nations Alliance can repel the Demon Realm Army, the other four countries still have the strength to spare, and the West Rain Country will make matters worse, at that time, how can they resist the invasion of the Four Nations Alliance?"
Baili and Feng didn't want to continue talking about this topic, and after pondering for a while, he changed the topic and asked:
"I wonder when the other armies will be able to reach the Tianmen Pass? Will we be able to hold out until they arrive? ”
Jun Moxiao also seemed to be able to understand Baili Hefeng's mood, although the situation of Xiyu Country was precarious, but since Mu Qianmei did not give up, they could not lose confidence, and they had to give it a try to have no regrets, so they replied with Baili Hefeng's question:
"I asked them to arrive in half a month, and I originally planned to arrive here in half a month, but then I thought about it, the battle situation was critical, so I came early."
"Now that ten days have passed, there are still five days left, presumably the whole army can be in place, and if you hold on for another five days, whether you can hold it depends on whether the demon army will launch a general attack in advance."
"If they launch a general attack in advance, we will naturally not be able to stop it, so we can only avoid its edge, choose to retreat first, and wait until the army gathers before we can launch an all-out counterattack."
After Jun Mo finished speaking, he asked again:
"According to General Baili, what is the probability of their sneak attack tonight?"
Baili and Feng thought for a moment before replying:
"Probably 50% likely! Tianmen Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the terrain is complex, and the effect of sneak attack is not obvious. ”
Jun Mo smiled and reminded: For the Academy
"For the terrain here, others may not know, but Wu Changkong must be very familiar, the map in his hand is no worse than ours, he has also guarded the Tianmen Pass, he can be said to know everything about this place, if he commands a sneak attack, it is really a headache."
Baili Kazufeng nodded and said:
"If his follow-up army has already arrived, the likelihood of a sneak attack increases to sixty percent."
"However, whether he sneaks in or not, we can only arrange for half of the people to rest and half to defend, after all, our people also need to rest."
"However, we can deploy the retreat route in advance, and if we can't resist it, we can also retreat calmly without being caught off guard by them."
Jun Mo smiled and said in agreement:
"Yes, we will be prepared with both hands, if we can defend it, we will naturally try our best to hold this pass, and if it is really impossible to hold it, we can also evacuate safely."
"Fortunately, the terrain of this Tianmen Pass is narrow, and it is impossible for them to come in too many soldiers at once, so we won't even have time to retreat."
The two looked at the map again and discussed a concrete plan of action before retreating.
It was night, the stars were sparse and the moon was faint, and a crescent moon hung in the sky, exuding a hazy moonlight, so that people could only see a faint outline of the world, and it was impossible to see it clearly.
The gate of heaven was also shrouded in a hazy moonlight, and there were some lights in the barracks, but the sound of sleeping snoring was already coming from most of the tents.
Even the sergeants who were assigned to be on duty at night were all drowsy, and they all looked like they couldn't lift their spirits.
Jun Moxiao didn't sleep, he was always unsettled, so he simply walked out of the camp tent and stood alone on a relatively high hill, blowing the night breeze, looking at the military camp at Tianmen Pass and the dim outline of the mountain in the distance.
Everything seemed so quiet that there was no danger to be seen.
However, behind the distant mountains that he could not see, there were three armies quietly moving forward in the night.
Each team was about 600,000 men, and it was clear from the silent action that these three armies were elite divisions.
Behind the three teams, there are about six million or so troops, which are also quietly moving forward, and it seems that the strong backing of those three teams will rush forward at any time and become a powerful guarantee and supplement for the front army.
Finally, they began to approach the four lines of defense that had been broken through outside the Heavenly Gate Pass.
At this time, the four lines of defense that have been broken through, Baili Hefeng only left a few people on duty to guard, after all, those defense facilities have been destroyed, and there is no time to repair them for the time being, and the people on duty are just to keep watch.
It's a pity that in front of the real masters, they are really vulnerable, and in the dim moonlight between them, there are five or six hundred black figures, like ghosts, quietly approaching the defenders of Tianmen Mountain in the mountains.
The soldiers on duty outside Tianmen Mountain were assassinated by those black shadows silently before they could react.
It was not a level of opponents, they didn't even have a chance to open their mouths and shout, they were assassinated by the men in black.
There were five or six hundred black-clothed men who opened the way, and the army behind had successfully crossed the three lines of defense, and the fourth line of defense was already very close to the Tianmen Pass.
Finally, a hidden soldier on duty finally felt the unusual atmosphere and did not hesitate to send out an early warning signal.
When the fireworks flew into the sky, they were immediately assassinated by the men in black.
Fortunately, the signal had been issued, and the fireworks flying into the sky immediately lit up the hazy night sky.
The defenders in Tianmen Pass immediately rose up in response, quickly organized a defensive formation, and waited for the fifth line of defense.
Jun Moxiao, who was guarding on the hill, rushed to the place of the fifth line of defense as soon as possible, personally commanded the battle, and saw those black-clothed people flying over, Jun Moxiao did not hesitate to send a team of 5,000 masters to meet it.
The fifth line of defense of Tianmen Pass immediately lit up torches, illuminating this piece of heaven and earth as bright as day.
The first wave of troops outside the Tianmen Pass also lit up their torches and began to attack, and when the distance was only two hundred meters, both sides launched archers to shoot at each other.
Jun Moxiao's defenders had a defensive line as a cover, and there were not many casualties, while the people who rushed in front of the Demon Realm army fell one after another, and soon became the ghosts of the arrows.
However, a rain of arrows did not stop their advance, and the army behind continued to step forward one after another, stepping on the corpses in front of them, and quickly charged forward.
The fierce battle began in an instant, although the defense line was used as a barrier, but no matter how good the barrier was, it could not stop the attack regardless of casualties, and after paying the price of fifty or sixty thousand casualties, the demon army finally rushed into the fifth line of defense, and the two armies began to fight in close combat.
This time, because of the supplement of Lingyun Pavilion's elite troops, Baili Hefeng's army was not as vulnerable as before, and the two sides were almost evenly matched, each with casualties.
It can be seen that the team of the Demon Realm army sneaking up is also much stronger than the previous ones.
For a time, at the gate of heaven, the battle shook the sky, the sound of charging and screaming came and went, and the battle was very fierce.
With the sound of killing, the Baili and Feng troops in Tianmen Pass have also been put on alert, and those resting soldiers have risen one after another, ready to participate in the battle at any time.
On the battlefield, there were many soldiers in front and behind, but due to the small space, there were only about 100,000 people who were actually fighting.
Those who rushed to the front, at all, had no choice but to fight until they fell.
The people behind were quickly replenished, still fighting until they died.
Here, there are no effective tactics anymore, and all you have to fight for your life is your life.
