Liu Tingfeng's surprise attack this time did not achieve the expected goal.

In the original plan, after launching a surprise attack here, Yuwen Junxiong and Tang Yuansi would return to Hongchang City for support as soon as possible, and the army of Xiyu Kingdom on the other side of the Xiaoshui River took this opportunity to forcibly cross the river, flank on both sides, and defeat the demon army in one fell swoop.

However, Qu Yunyang, who had already been fooled once, did not order Yuwen Junxiong and Tang Yuansi to return to defense, but they withdrew from Hongchang City and joined on the banks of the Xiaoshui River.

Nine million troops gathered in one place, the army of Xiyu Kingdom on the other side of the Xiaoshui River had no chance to cross the river, and Liu Tingfeng's side only had 800,000 troops, including 200,000 demon beast troops, and they did not dare to attack easily.

Although there is no opportunity to attack immediately, at least the garrisons on both sides have been formed, sandwiching the demon army in the middle, Qu Yunyang hurriedly withdrew from Hongchang City, and the supplies in their rear have been cut off, and now a lonely army is trapped.

How long will they last there?

Liu Tingfeng used Hongchang City as a temporary station, and after the Demon Venerable Qu Yunyang left, the City Lord's Mansion became Liu Tingfeng's base camp.

After a simple arming, Liu Tingfeng gathered a group of core members together to discuss the next action plan.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Liu Tingfeng sat in the first place, with the little white dragon sitting on his left, the Tiger King sitting on his right, and the next were the five leaders of the demon beast army, the snake clan, the tiger clan, the leopard clan, the lion clan and the wolf clan.

After the eight of them sat down, Liu Tingfeng immediately spoke:

"Thanks to the support of the five leaders, our siege battle went more smoothly, and we captured Hongchang City with very few casualties."

The bewitching leader of the snake clan rarely restrained his usual charming color, and replied with a serious expression:

"General Liu doesn't have to be polite, the Lord has an order, let us act in accordance with the will of His Majesty the Dragon King, His Majesty the Dragon King is dispatched by General Liu, and we will naturally fully support all the actions of General Liu."

In the final analysis, they still participated in this world dispute because of the identity of the little white dragon.

Liu Tingfeng bowed his head slightly, and before he could speak, the leader of the tiger clan looked at the tiger king and said:

"Vice Admiral Wang is also from the Tiger Clan, right?"

When the Tiger King was introduced to the outside world, he was called the deputy general of the Tiger King, the demon beast of the same clan, and naturally he could see the members of his clan at a glance, so the leader of the Tiger Clan would have this question.

The Tiger King nodded and replied:

"Yes, I am also a Tiger Clan, from the Nine Star Forest, where I am also the king of the Tiger Clan, but unfortunately I am not a qualified Tiger King."

The leader of the tiger clan shook his head and said:

"Vice General Wang is humble, although I am now the head of the clan, my cultivation is not as high as yours, and you are still so young, and your future achievements are even more unimaginable, you are already the pride of the Tiger Clan."

The Tiger King replied a little lonely:

"In the past, he was young and frivolous, and his personality was upright and righteous, so he made a lot of mistakes, and as a tiger king, cultivation is not the most important thing."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but show a bit of remorse on his face, he was really too innocent at that time.

The leader of the Tiger Clan said with a smile:

"Who doesn't make mistakes when they're young? Especially our tiger clan, the personality is also similar, can be solved by force, are not willing to bother to think, only after experiencing more things, will slowly become mature, this is a process of growth, do not have to worry about the mistakes made in the past. ”

The Tiger King was relieved and said:

"I love my life now, and I don't need much

Use your brain, you can just follow orders and act on orders, in the past, I followed the king of heaven, and when I encountered problems, the king of heaven figured out a way, but now I follow General Liu's side, and General Liu Fei is a god, so good. ”

The leader of the Tiger Clan nodded and said:

"In the Great Wilderness Mountain, our Tiger Clan is also in such a state, everything is good to obey the orders of the Venerable, and when you come out to fight, you can just follow the words of General Bisha, the leader of the Snake Clan."

The Tiger King looked at the bewitching woman in surprise, but he didn't expect that among the leaders of the five clans in the demon world, she turned out to be the strongest.

At this time, the Liuting wind interface said:

"The leader of Bisha must be one of the two leaders who successfully crossed the Great Wilderness Mountain!"

Bisha modestly replied:

"It's just a fluke, in order to be able to successfully cross the tribulation, we have cultivated for countless years, and General Liu is only eighteen years old, and he has already reached the late stage of the tribulation period, and he is willing to cross the tribulation at any time, this is an unprecedented miracle!"

The little white dragon couldn't help but sigh:

"Compared to humans, the cultivation of other races is indeed much more difficult, and among the beast races, even if they are extremely talented, they need hundreds or thousands of years of cultivation to reach the starting point of human beings."

"However, the beast clan also has its own specialty, once the cultivation is successful, most of the talents in a certain aspect will far surpass the humans, such as the eyes are not as good as the eagle clan, the nose is not as good as the wolf clan, the ears are not as good as the tiger clan, and the swimming clan is not as good as the fish clan, so once the cultivation is promoted to the same level as the human race, you can surpass the human race in a certain aspect."

At this time, the leader of the wolf clan said:

"General Liu, Your Majesty the Dragon King, I think we should discuss the next plan of action at this moment."

Liu Tingfeng immediately said with a smile:

"Okay, so let's get down to business, do you have any good suggestions for your next move?"

The Tiger King was the first to reply:

"After resting for the night, recuperating, and fighting early tomorrow morning, we will attract their attention, and the defense of the Xiaoshui River will inevitably become weak, won't we be able to create an opportunity for our army on the bank to cross the river?"

Bisha said worriedly:

"They have an army of nine million, we only have eight hundred thousand, fighting head-on, we can't attract many people to fight, and the defense of Xiaoshui River will not be affected too much."

The little white dragon also nodded and said:

"When we attacked Hongchang City, we attacked them suddenly and caught them off guard, plus there were many new recruits in the city, so we were able to take advantage of it."

"Now that they have gathered together, this advantage does not exist, the army guarding the banks of the Xiaoshui River has no low combat effectiveness, and it is indeed not advantageous to fight head-on."

The leader of the wolf clan advised:

"We were the last wave to come in, and we found that there were quite a few people who came in with our army, as long as we were willing to conscript, we could immediately increase the army of at least 200,000, and most of them were young and middle-aged, and their combat effectiveness was not low."

After thinking for a moment, Bisha said slowly:

"Even if it increases by 200,000, it will only be enough to gather an army of one million, and against nine million it still seems a lot less."

"What's more, the newly recruited soldiers, even if they are all young and middle-aged, but they have not been trained and have never been on the battlefield, their combat effectiveness is naturally not strong."

……

Several people expressed their opinions one after another, and then waited for Liu Tingfeng to adjudicate.

Seeing that everyone had finished speaking, Liu Tingfeng fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he spoke:

"It's really not the best idea to attack rashly."

"With less against more, with weak against strong, they are now well guarded, and we can't sneak attack again, once we fight, it will be a frontal fight."

"In a head-on fight, we don't have an advantage."

"Now, our biggest advantage is that we can hold on to the city, and they don't dare to divide their troops to fight easily, so this Hongchang City is still very safe."

"Actually, in my opinion, it is the best policy for us not to send troops, because we have cities to hold onto, and there is enough food and grass, so we can spend it with them."

"They are in a hurry, and there will be a shortage of food and grass, and they will not dare to cross the river if they advance, and it will be difficult to take the city if they retreat, so we will consume them."

"The grain and grass of the nine million army is not something that can be easily satisfied."

"Under such conditions, besieging without attacking is the best option."

The little white dragon's eyes lit up and he agreed:

"Yes, if we take the initiative to attack, we will inevitably pay a great price, and it will be much better to defend if we don't move."

"If they can't hold on, they will probably be forced to counterattack, and we can just wait for the work."

Bisha also nodded involuntarily and said:

"This is indeed the best option, if they are forced to launch a counterattack, the siege will be very costly."

Liu Tingfeng immediately decided:

"Okay, since everyone agrees on this strategy, then we will follow this strategy."

"Bai Xiaolong led an army of 300,000 to guard the east gate, Wang Hu led an army of 300,000 to guard the north gate, and Bi Sha led 200,000 to guard the south gate."

"I will be responsible for recruiting troops in the city, and at the same time straighten out the work of Hongchang City as soon as possible."

The other seven immediately said in unison:

"Obey General Liu's orders!"

After the arrangement, everyone went their separate ways and took their places.

In Hongchang City, it looked chaotic for a while, and troops were being dispatched everywhere, and the troops were divided to guard the three city gates, only the west city gate did not have a large army for the time being, and only a small part of the city defenders were guarding.

Especially the East City Gate, due to its proximity to the Demon Realm army, the defenders of the city are even more vigilant and ready to fight at any time.

At this time, in the base camp of the Demon Realm army, Demon Venerable Qu Yunyang was also convening hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.

In the welcoming hall on the third floor of the River Temple, it has become a temporary Jinluan hall at this time, Qu Yunyang sits on the main seat, looking calm and calm, and in front of him, there are fifty or sixty civil and military officials, one by one in order of the size of the official position, after the kneeling ceremony, they stand quietly and wait.

Qu Yunyang looked at the civil and military officials in front of him, and said in a dignified tone:

"General Liu Tingfeng of the Xiyu Kingdom, taking advantage of the second day of February to worship the river god, led hundreds of thousands of troops to mix in it, and then launched a surprise attack on our Hongchang City, which caught us off guard, so that we were forced to withdraw from Hongchang City and came here."

"The defeat in this battle fully shows that our army is still far behind the West Rain Country in terms of intelligence, we went to surprise attack the army of the West Rain Country, and every move we made was under the control of the other party, and they sent out to sneak attack our army, but we didn't know about it, until Bai Xiaolong suddenly appeared, it was exposed, and by that time, we had no time to defend."

"In today's situation, what are the strategies of all the Qing families to break the enemy?"

After the inquiry, he looked around at the civil and military officials in front of him, waiting for everyone to offer advice.
