Chapter 356: A Master of Trouble
Elder Juechen sent people to clean up for a long time before cleaning up the hall that had been shaken and messed up just now, and everyone entered the hall and stood still.
Juechen invited Yifeng and Yan Yinshan and Yuan Yin to stand in front, Yuan Yin insisted on refusing, and retreated to the door with Qing Ning to stand with his hands down, Xuanluan didn't know where to fly in the blink of an eye.
Jue Song then spoke: "Yifeng, don't blame the old monk for not being close to people, it's just because the two armies are fighting, the soldiers are treacherous, there are all kinds of tricks, and there are countless secret spies, so I have to be on guard." ”
Yifeng nodded and said, "I understand, don't be so polite. Seriously, Elder, what's the current state of the war?"
Jue Song pondered for a moment and said: "Now almost all the Buddhist monks in Yunzhou are stationed in Qingping Town, and the Buddhist temples in other places have basically been demolished by the Yunzhou army. ”
"How many people are there?" Yan Yinshan asked, the strength of the army is the basis of the battle between the two armies.
Juechen glanced at Yan Yinshan and said: "We have about eighty or ninety thousand Buddhist monks, and the legion on the opposite side has about 112,000 soldiers. ”
"Do we have a fixed military system?" Yan Yinshan continued.
Juechen said: "We usually eat fasting and recite Buddha, and we originally didn't know anything about marching and fighting, but under the cruel attrition, we could only learn while fighting, and established a simple military system. ”
"Our military system is a team of ten people, the leader is called the ten monks, the leader of the ten teams is the hundred monks, there are two deputies, the one who commands the ten hundred monks is the thousand monks, equipped with two deputies, and the one who commands the ten thousand monks is called the ten thousand monks, and is also equipped with two deputies. ”
Yifeng thought for a moment and said, "Are there any requirements for the person to appoint, the generals of the legion on the opposite side are all cultivation masters, do we also have such a mechanism?"
Juechen nodded and said, "Yes, we have also taken this into account. In addition, we have two institutions, one is the staff committee, which is served by about twenty senior monks, and the selection does not care about their cultivation, as long as they have a good plan for fighting, and at the same time do not participate in the battle of the legion, but are only responsible for command. Among them, one commander and two deputies are selected to make major decisions, mobilize various teams, and implement strategic plans. ”
"The other is the combat group, which is a forcible raid against those cultivation powerhouses of the legion, and most of the people in the combat group are in the Mahayana realm, mainly to prevent our legion from being broken through by the enemy using the cultivation powerhouses. ”
Yan Yinshan's eyes were blazing, and he said: "Although it is not very sound, it is almost enough to fight for the march." What are the attack methods of the opposing legion?"
Juechen said: "The main purpose of the enemy's legion is to attack the city, and there are many ways to attack, including crashing cars to attack the city gate, huge bed crossbows shooting through the city wall, artillery battalions attacking with artillery, thousands of crossbows sticking to the city wall to attack while the defenders are showing up, and there are also climbing the wall with wooden frames. ”
"And our main defense is to roll wood, rolling stones, rolling oil, sandwiched by fire to attack, in addition, many Buddhist temples also raised monks, so there are some bows, arrows, bows and crossbows, and urgently sent people to build overnight, and there are several thousand monks who are responsible for building weapons. ”
"In offensive and defensive battles, ordinary cultivators below the rank of 100 monks can't exert much strength, because they are coerced by the army, they can't let go of their hands and feet, and their cultivation is restricted, and they can defeat one enemy and ten at most. ”
"Even if it is a thousand monks, compared to the partial generals of the legion, in the attack of tens of thousands of troops, the cultivation that can be exerted is very limited, as long as their tooth generals or deputy general-level masters do not forcibly lead the team to break through, we are generally not afraid. Even if they come to raid, we have combat bands to fight them. ”
Yifeng thought about it and asked, "Do the cultivators above the tooth general or deputy general on the opposite side attack many times?"
Juechen said: "Not much, because they are the leaders of the army, once they are dispatched, it will make the army lose command and control, and they generally will not be dispatched easily." They tried two or three times, but each had its own attrition, and without making a breakthrough, they voluntarily gave up. ”
"However, their supernatural power is huge, and the loss caused by it is also correspondingly skyrocketing, if they are left unchecked and really let them play unscrupulously, I am afraid that hundreds of third-realm powerhouses will be able to bombard and annihilate an army of tens of thousands of people.
"Of course, this is not possible. If the real confrontation between the two armies is not comparable, if there is such a huge disparity in combat strength, it will definitely be a one-sided slaughter, and I am afraid that it will not be our turn to speak now. ”
Yan Yinshan was silent for a while, and said: "Then according to this statement, our combat regiment is not responsible for the command function, then we can take advantage of the shortcomings of their generals who dare not wantonly penetrate into the enemy's formation to attack, use our combat regiment to directly raid them, and then cover the output of the main army's combat power." Wouldn't we be able to gain the upper hand if they were not in proper command?"
Juechen shook his head and said, "Theoretically, this is true, but there is a prerequisite, that is, the number of our combat group must be at least equal to the level of the opposite tooth general.
"But in fact, the number of our combat group is far lower than the number of their senior generals, and once these cultivators above their tooth general level are ready to enter the battle in person, the number of our combat group is far from being able to compete with it. Only by the ten thousand monks, and even some thousands of monks, can they be reinforced by the combat group to defend them. ”
"Although in terms of organization, we have an extra combat regiment, but in practice, the effect of the attack and combat is almost the same. ”
At this moment, the house suddenly shook, the corrugated corrugated that had just been arranged on the head began to flutter and fall dust again, and the pillars began to crumble, and immediately a monk rushed in and said, "The legions outside the city have begun to attack again!"
Elder Juechen was slightly stunned and said, "Didn't you just retreat a few hours ago? It stands to reason that you won't be able to attack until at least tomorrow?"
The monk said: "The disciple doesn't know, but according to the report from the senior brothers guarding the city, they said that they saw a sudden fire in the legion on the opposite side, burning several large military camps, and also saw a particularly large flying bird and beast being chased and killed by the generals on the opposite side and fled. ”
When Yifeng heard this, he knew that it was definitely a good thing that Xuanluan had done, and he was anxious and angry, anxious because he was afraid that those generals would hurt her, and angry because she began to be reckless again.
He walked out of the hall and shouted to the sky, "Xuanluan!"
Fortunately, not long after he shouted, he saw a little black shadow appear in the sky, and then suddenly it became larger, and in the blink of an eye, it was above the county government house, and then it turned into a delicate and tender little girl again.
She stared at the two golden-winged shadows, her bones spinning, but her eyes just didn't look at the wind, nor did she come closer, she stood there grabbing the corners of her clothes with both hands and rubbing them.
Seeing this, Yifeng couldn't cry or laugh, and shouted: "Why did you run to the opposite army and go crazy again!"
Xuanluan saw that Yifeng was angry, his mouth was pursed, and his little hand was pointed, but he said more confidently: "It's not these old monks, saying that we are secret spies, then I'll go and kill a few people on the other side to prove it!"
When he said this, Juechen and the others were stunned, looked at each other, and shook their heads.
"You're too reckless! Are you hurt? What about the people chasing you?" Yifeng knew that although she was reckless, it was also for his good, and it was not good to say much in front of so many people.
Xuanluan saw Yifeng's appearance and knew that there was a chance that he would not be angry, so he immediately leaned over with a smile and a shy face:
"Brother Yifeng, I know you care about me the most. Where can those people fly past me, I can't see anyone when I go around outside, and I'll come back, they probably haven't gone back yet!"
When she said it, she was cheeky again, and she looked a little proud of the success of her plan, which made it really hard to blame her.
Yifeng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Xuanluan's level of trouble can be regarded as a natural master.
He couldn't help but gently knock her on the head and said, "If you act without permission in the future, be careful that I pull out your feathers!"
She pouted, but her eyes were restlessly wandering.
At this time, there was another loud noise outside the town, shaking the house tiles, and Yifeng turned his head to Juechen and said, "Elders, let's go to the city wall and have a look, and then decide how to fight this battle." ”
So all the monks rushed to the city wall, and when they were hurrying away, they found that Xuanluan was about to sneak away, so they had to take her hand and say solemnly: "Follow me! I will really be angry if I sneak away again!"
Xuanluan had no choice but to look reluctant and follow the wind towards the city wall.
