Time passed slowly, there was silence in the hall, I don't know how long it took, Shangguan Xiu said: "According to the original plan, our army took the initiative to attack the Ningnan Army, and I led 20,000 gendarmerie to penetrate through the Ningnan Army front,"

"Brother Xiu, this ...... It's too dangerous, isn't it, "only 20,000 gendarmerie troops are deep behind enemy lines, isolated, and once surrounded by enemy troops, the consequences are unimaginable.

Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "This is the only feasible way at the moment, you can only fight like this," as he spoke, he looked at Dangdang and Ziyin, and asked, "Is there a problem with the gendarmerie?"

He didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "No problem, Your Highness, the gendarmerie is on call at any time and obeys the dispatch,"

Shangguan Xiu nodded with satisfaction, he turned around and walked to the table where the sand table was arranged, looked down at the layout of the positions of the two armies on the sand table, pointed at the bottom of the sand table with his baton, and said: "The lower defense line of the Ningnan Army is relatively weak, and the gendarmerie can use this as a breakthrough point,"

Hearing his words, the surrounding strategists bent down one after another, intently examining the sand table, and one of the strategists said: "The Ningnan Army guarding the lower road front is the enemy's Eighth Legion, and when it attacked the city of Masala, the enemy's Eighth Legion had suffered heavy casualties, and later in the battle with the Fifth Legion, there were many casualties, even if the Ningnan people have now filled up the establishment of the Eighth Legion, the number of recruits in the Legion is far more than that of other Legions,"

This strategist obviously agreed with Shangguan Xiu's point of view, believing that the position garrisoned by the Eighth Army was indeed a weak link in the overall position of the Ningnan Army.

After the strategist finished analyzing, the rest of the people nodded thoughtfully, Nie Zhen held his chin, and said, "With the Eighth Legion here as a breakthrough, maybe you can really tear a hole and successfully kill it,"

Seeing that everyone present had no objections, Shangguan Xiu said categorically: "Today and tomorrow, the whole army will rest and prepare for battle, and the day after tomorrow, our army will counterattack the position of the Ningnan Army," After a pause, he said: "A Luo,"

"The last will be," Luo Ren intervened to give a salute,

"You lead the First Army to attack the central position of the Ningnan people,"

"The last general obeys the order," "Nie Zhen," "The last general," "You lead the tenth army corps, the main attack on the upper road position of the Ningnan people," "The last general obeys the order," "Sui Tangjing," "The last general," "You lead the fourth army corps, follow me to attack the Ningnan people's lower road position," "The last general obeys the order,"

Shangguan Xiu conveyed the orders one after another, and the Feng army also entered the intense stage of preparation.

The seriously wounded soldiers who had been brought under control were transported out of the city of Masalla and sent back to the country, while the wounded soldiers who were less seriously wounded were returned to their respective regiments to stand by.

Each legion has a vacancy in the establishment, temporarily put the rebel army temporarily recruited in Duki, and fill the vacancy of their own legion as neatly as possible.

The next day, the supply ammunition from the Windy Country arrived in the city of Massala, and the amount of ammunition replenished this time was huge, enough to more than 500 wagons, frdo

Each carriage was full of weapons and ammunition, and each had a cannon in the back.

At that time, both the manufacturing technology and the smelting technology were not perfect, and in the long-term artillery battle, it was common for the artillery itself to explode, and the loss was great.

Artillery casualties are usually not brought by the enemy, but by the inferior weapons of the own side.

The atmosphere before the battle was solemn, and even the eldest grandson Boyuan, who lived in Masala City, felt it, and this night, he found Shangguan Xiu and asked, "Your Royal Highness, your army is ready to go to war on the opposite side,"

Shangguan Xiu smiled: "For months, when has there been a truce?"

"Now ......"

"Tomorrow, our army will launch a comprehensive counterattack against the Ningnan Army,"

The eldest grandson Boyuan gasped, in the past few days of living in Massala, he also knew something about the military situation on both sides.

Here in the Masala Front, the corps of the Wind Army is three, and the corps of the Ningnan Army is five, and only the Wind Army of three corps wants to take the initiative to attack the Ningnan Army with five corps, isn't this equivalent to hitting the wall,

He asked worriedly, "Your Highness is also going to war,"

"Yes, this battle is difficult, I have to participate in the battle myself," Shangguan Xiu's face was straight, and he said: "In the past month or two, I may not be in Massala, if His Royal Highness the prince is not at ease, I can send someone to send you to Beijing,"

The eldest grandson Boyuan can rely on now is only Shangguan Xiu, and only Shangguan Xiu knows best how much he is worth to the Wind Country, going to Shangjing, under the nose of the Wind Country Court, not to mention the sad days, he doesn't even have a person to rely on,

After thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "Your Royal Highness, I still live in Masala, these days, Xinhuan and I have adapted to the city of Massala, going to Shangjing, not to mention the long distance, and I have to adapt again, it's too troublesome,"

Shangguan Xiu didn't force it, and he could understand the concerns in the heart of the eldest grandson Boyuan.

He nodded and said: "It's okay, since His Royal Highness the prince is unwilling to leave, then he will live in Massara temporarily, but there are many enemy troops in the city, His Royal Highness and the princess should be more careful, if it is not necessary, do not leave the city lord's mansion easily,"

For Shangguan Xiu's advice, the eldest grandson Boyuan was grateful and heartwarming, he arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness Guogong don't worry, Yuan is in Massala, wait for His Royal Highness Guogong to return triumphantly, in the future, Yuan will help His Royal Highness achieve a great cause,"

Shangguan Xiu's face showed a smile and returned the salute,

The next day, the Feng army launched a full-scale onslaught on the defense line of the Ningnan Army, and the first to fire was naturally artillery.

In the artillery position of the Wind Army, the smoke was everywhere, and most of the soldiers took off their military uniforms and were shirtless, carrying ammunition and loading shells.

At the same time as the artillery of the Wind Army launched a wild bombardment, the artillery positions of the Ningnan Army soon began to return fire, but the intensity of the attack of the Ningnan Army's artillery this time was much worse than the ferocity of the Ningnan Army when it took the initiative to attack some time ago.

Obviously, this is due to the lack of ammunition of the Ningnan Army, this time, the timing of the Feng Army's active attack is too good, just in time to catch up with the Ningnan Army's ammunition reserves have been exhausted, and the stamina is insufficient.

In the artillery attack of the two sides, the Ningnan Army of the five legions did not have a stronger artillery attack than the artillery attack of the three corps of the Feng Army.

The artillery bombardment of the two armies began in the morning and continued until noon, and at ten o'clock in the afternoon, the artillery offensive of the wind army finally weakened, and the army pressed on it one after another.

Masala Lower Road Battlefield,

Sui Tangjing commanded the officers and men of the Fourth Army to launch a fierce attack on the position of the Ningnan Army on the opposite side, and Shangguan Xiu and the gendarmerie mixed in with the soldiers of the Fourth Army Corps and rushed to the opposite side.

Coming in front of a dense number of shells and projectiles, the soldiers who ran forward, from time to time some of them were shot and fell to the ground, never to get up again,

On the battlefield of the legion battle, even the cultivators are too vulnerable, a cannonball that explodes nearby, or even a stray projectile that misses the direction, can kill the cultivator.

In such a large-scale battle, even Shangguan Xiu didn't dare to be too careless, the shrapnel of the cannonball, the fire gun, and the projectile of the musket could all penetrate into the gap of his spirit armor, causing trauma to his body.

When charging forward, Shangguan Xiu decided with the wind shadow, took the lead in breaking into the position of the Ningnan army, jumped into the trench, Mo knife slashed left and right, the wind blade dispersed, blowing to both sides of the trench, and the soldiers of the Ningnan army on both sides screamed and fell to the ground,

But soon more soldiers swarmed along the trenches, and the soldiers in the front row also erected thick heavy shields, using heavy shields to resist Shangguan Xiu's spiritual martial skills.

Between the heavy shields, there are dense firearms and barrels, constantly firing at Shangguanxiu.

Ding, ding, ding, the projectile hit his spirit armor, crackling, Shangguan Xiu's eyes flashed with coldness, jumped up, swept past the heavy shield soldiers in the front row of the Ningnan Army, fell above the heads of the crowd, and swung his knife downward,

The wind blade swept out, and for a while, the click sound of the wind blade cutting through the helmet was endless.

The heads of more than a dozen Ningnan soldiers were smashed by the wind blade, and they died tragically in the crowd.

However, the Ningnan army was not killed and retreated by him, but the enemy crowd rushed over to kill, and when they raised their eyes, the trenches were full of people, boundless,

Even if Shangguan Xiu is as profound as cultivation, in the legion war, his strength is very limited, and he can only decide the situation on a small part of the battlefield, but he can't affect the overall situation.

Shangguan Xiu held a Mo knife and rushed forward along the trench to kill, what he could do at present was to kill as many enemy troops in the front trench as possible, and reduce the casualties of his own soldiers when charging.

The battle lasted from noon until nightfall,

For three hours, Shangguan Xiu couldn't remember how many enemy soldiers and enemy generals he had killed in total, his spirit armor had been dyed blood red, and even the military uniform in the spirit armor had been soaked in blood, sticking to his body, sticky,

In the evening, the Feng army had already penetrated the first front of the Ningnan Army and was advancing in depth.

When He Ziyin found Shangguan Xiu in the trenches, he was sitting on the ground resting, his military uniform on his upper body had been taken off, and two medical officers knelt behind him, nervously treating their wounds, while Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei were guarding on the left and right.

Seeing this, he and Ziyin's hearts were shocked, and the two hurriedly ran forward and asked with concern, "Your Highness is injured,"

Shangguan Xiu smiled indifferently, waved his hand and said, "It's just a small injury, it's not in the way," as he spoke, a medical officer used tweezers to clip a piece of shrapnel between the flesh behind his back,

The shrapnel was jet black, and the wound was also jet black all around, and the medical officer looked at the shrapnel caught by the tweezers, his face turned pale, and he whispered: "Your Highness, there is a highly toxic ...... on the shrapnel."

When everyone around heard this, they all gasped, and Shangguan Xiu said nonchalantly: "Just put on some antidotes,"

"Yes...... But the villain still doesn't know what kind of poison is on the shrapnel......"

"No matter what kind of poison it is, you just need to take some antidotes that are commonly used on weekdays," Shangguan Xiu is very confident in his body, even if it is a poison that seals his throat with blood, it can't poison him.

"This ......"

"Don't be verbose, take medicine," Shangguan Xiu turned his head and glared at the medical officer,

The latter didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly responded, and first stitched up Shangguan Xiu's wound, then applied the general antidote to the wound, and then applied the gold sore medicine to stop bleeding, and finally bandaged him.

When he was done, another medical officer also took out another piece of shrapnel embedded in Shangguan Xiu's flesh, and carefully examined this piece of shrapnel, the medical officer couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said in surprise: "Your Highness, this piece of shrapnel is non-toxic,"

"Well," Shangguan Xiu replied lightly, "Move quickly, tonight, our army must break through the second line of defense of the Ningnan people,"

"Your Highness can no longer fight," although the two wounds are not big, they are very deep, judging from the experience of the medical officer, what Shangguan Xiu should do now is to recuperate, not to continue fighting,

Shangguan Xiu ignored the obstruction of the two medical officers, and when the medical officer took care of the wound, he took a new military uniform handed over by Wu Yufei, quickly put it on his body, and then, he stood up as if nothing happened, and asked left and right, "Have the brothers rested?"

The surrounding gendarmerie soldiers stood up one after another, and said in unison: "Your Highness, we have already rested,"

"Then, fight again with me," Shangguan Xiu showed his Mo sword, Zhou's body exuded white aura, the spirit armor condensed on his body, and the surrounding soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill-"
