It's just that although the Western Xia soldiers had the intervention of their commanders, they were defeated in the end.

After this battle, the soldiers of the southern kingdom lost more than 1,800 people, but the losses of the Western Xia side were even more heavy, almost all of them were chased and beaten, and the number of losses reached as many as 20,000.

As for the monks, Tianchi killed one centurion and one thousand, and the fifty monks were even more violent, defeating twelve enemy monks, as well as two other thousands, plus a number of generals, although two of their own side were slightly injured, but they were all fine.

"Sect Master, this battle confiscated a number of opponent's weapons and armor, only forty percent of the grain and grass, and the remaining sixty percent, when the Western Xia soldiers withdrew, they were ordered to be burned by Huan Liang, Sect Master, now that the enemy has retreated, will we continue to pursue the victory?"

After cleaning up the battlefield, the deputy general disciple Wuchang crossed the horse and came to Tianchi and asked.

"Chasing, of course, to chase, but to let some of the soldiers slow down first, although the morale is at this time, but also tired, if the pursuit continues, the other party fights to the death, then we can't please in the end." ”

Tianchi waved his hand, and then looked at the direction of the enemy army in the north and said.

"But if you don't chase it now, if the other party eases up, I'm afraid it will be even more disadvantageous......"

Wuchang asked hesitantly.

"I mean let the soldiers rest, but I didn't say that all of them went to rest, let the remaining 10,000 people divide into two teams, prepare 5,000 men and horses, still light cavalry and light armor, we don't fight head-on this time, only fight the side battle, let the remaining 5,000 people advance with the team, these two teams take turns to attack, each time only fight the side battle, retreat as soon as they dip, and slowly weaken the opponent's forces. ”

Tianchi squinted into the distance and ordered.

And the reason why he ordered like this has two advantages, this style of play retreats as soon as it is touched, just like cutting noodles, eliminating the opponent's peripheral forces little by little.

Doing so can not only quickly weaken the strength of the Western Xia soldiers, but also cause panic to the other party by the way.

"Yes!

After hearing this, Wuchang probably understood Tianchi's intentions, so he hurriedly clenched his fists and said, and after speaking, he ordered Tianchi's order.

And the rest of these southern soldiers, after hearing the order, they were all eager to try.

Not for anything else, he had been pressed and beaten by the Western Xia soldiers before, but now he can finally fight back, and he is still chased by thousands of people and tens of thousands of people. The grievances in my heart have been released, and that feeling of pleasure is not to mention how happy it is.

So, the next scene that made Xixia soldiers feel depressed appeared.

Because there are too many people, so the troops are naturally too long, every time they want to stop the army to rest and recuperate, the southern soldiers will appear at the right time, and slash and kill in a pentagonal shape, and when the Western Xia soldiers break and flee, the soldiers behind will be directly cut off and encircled.

In this way, after three days, the Western Xia soldiers finally returned to their own borders after losing nearly 20,000 troops.

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that the southern soldiers still seemed to refuse to stop, and continued to harass them.

After another five days, the generals led by Tianchi had already entered the third line of defense in Western Xia.

In the end, the remaining 30,000 Western Xia soldiers had to be stationed on the third line of defense in Western Xia, and they could not defend their positions.

There is no way, now it is no longer possible to retreat, there are only five lines of defense in the Western Xia Kingdom, if it continues to retreat, then the southern soldiers will be killed in the hinterland of the Western Xia, so in desperation, they have to defend this line of defense.

"Sect Master, now that the enemy army can't defend it, and this city is supported by a formation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture. ”

Looking at the town in front of him like Xuanwu entrenched, Deputy General Wuchang couldn't help but hesitate to Tianchi and said.

And this Western Xia Kingdom, known as the Wuhuan City of the Third Natural Danger, is a demon beast forest on the left, a rolling mountain range on the right, and a long river of natural danger in the south.

If you want to take it without injury, it's really unlikely.

"Well, but the current situation can't wait any longer, we must at least capture this natural danger, and now it has been half a month since the day we set off, and it is impossible for the Qingtian Sect loyal to the Western Xia Kingdom to be without action during this time, we must take here, and the southern country can be regarded as a little guaranteed." ”

Tianchi felt the colder and colder climate, and then couldn't help but sigh.

To tell the truth, Tianchi has already captured eight cities in Western Xia under the northern expedition with the soldiers of the southern country, which is already appalling in the southern country.

But Tianchi is still not satisfied, although he has captured the opponent's two lines of defense, but these two lines of defense are still relatively weak for the south.

At that time, as long as the southern soldiers relax a little, the Western Xia soldiers will raise their troops to the south again, and at that time, these eight cities will be like searching for things and will be returned to the Western Xia Kingdom.

Therefore, only after conquering this natural danger can the southern kingdom get a short recuperation in the true sense.

However, just as it was difficult for the Western Xia soldiers to capture this line of defense, it was not easy for the remaining 7,000 soldiers led by Tianchi to attack it now.

"But if you attack hard, it seems unlikely, this kind of defensive array, it should be the handiwork of Qingtian Sect, with our strength it is difficult to capture, if the Western Xia soldiers take the opportunity to counterattack, we ...... There is a high probability that the whole army will be wiped out. ”

Wu Chang said worriedly.

"Let me think about it, the city is definitely going to be attacked, and I know what you're worried about, but this thing has to be done. ”

Tianchi said with a sigh.

He also knew that this city was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if it took too long, as soon as the monks of the Qingtian Sect arrived, the advantage on his side would be gone, and he had to take advantage of the fact that the Qingtian Sect did not understand the reality and hesitated during this time to attack the city.

"Sect Master, in fact, there is one thing that I don't really understand, that is, why do we want to work so hard for Emperor E'e of the Southern Kingdom? With our strength, we can completely assist a more powerful country, even if it is not in the territory of the Great Xia Kingdom, when the time comes, in the name of a neighboring country, I believe that no one will dare to attack. ”

Wuchang hesitated for a moment, and then asked his doubts.

"It's true that we can assist our neighbors, but the side of the tiger will not allow others to lie in peace, if the north and the south are unified, we will become a foreign race in the Great Xia Kingdom, and it will be very detrimental to our development at that time......

Tianchi let out a long breath, and then said with a wry smile.

"I understand the sect master, the sect master, you give the order. ”

Hearing Tianchi say this, Wuchang couldn't help but stand up straight and say to Tianchi, and the expression on his face changed from hesitation to firmness.

"Judging by your expression, it seems that you have something to say, so you might as well say it and I'll listen to it. ”

Tianchi saw that Wuchang's expression was different, so he couldn't help but ask casually.

"To tell you the truth, in fact, I and everyone have always had doubts, from the very beginning, we heard that the young sect master, you always sacrifice the interests of the Thousand Waters Sect for the sake of the southern country, and many times everyone doubts it...... I suspect that the young sect master is not thinking about the Thousand Waters Sect at all, but after listening to the young sect master's words today, I feel that all of us are a little villainous. ”

Wuchang said bluntly.

It is true that as he said, many people are actually a little unwilling, after all, they help each other, and in the end they are still serving the enemy Great Xia Kingdom.

And now, listening to the meaning of Tianchi, it is actually for the sake of the future of the Thousand Water Sect everywhere, and naturally it has begun to become respectful.

"It's okay, I'm glad you can say it. ”

Tianchi said with a smile.

"Sect Master, give an order, although this place is difficult to capture, it is not completely impossible, even if it is death! This time, the disciples will swear to complete the task. ”

Wuchang finally clenched his fists and said.

"Don't say that you can't die, everyone can only live once, and if you die, there's nothing, okay, I suddenly thought of a way just now......"

Tianchi shook his head at first, and then said as if he had thought of something.

"I wonder what the sect master has come up with?"

Wu Chang looked at Tianchi with a serious face and asked.

"The other party used it before, do you remember how they planned to attack my Hancheng some time ago?"

Tianchi smiled, then raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Sect Master, do you mean ......?"

Looking at Tianchi's determined look, Wuchang couldn't help but answer with a sudden expression.

"Yes, but any fortification like this is generally concentrated on one side of the defense, and the other side is relatively weak, as long as you find a way to blend in and break the eye of the formation, then these Western Xia soldiers will definitely become panicked, and this big array will be self-defeating. ”

Tianchi nodded, affirmed the other party's thoughts, and then said with a smile.

"That's true, the sect master waits, I'll let everyone come over immediately. ”

Wu Chang clenched his fists, and then he was about to go find the rest of the disciples to come over.

"No, this matter can only be passed by me alone, now the Qingtian Sect is still wandering, maybe the other party has arrived near here, maybe it is not clear, but we don't know which sect we belong to, so I don't want to act rashly, if we all go over, the dog jumps under the wall in a hurry, then there will inevitably be a large number of monks surrounding it, so what you have to do now is to call the formation, let the other party know that you are still here, and when the time comes, the array will be broken, and you will immediately wave over, and this city can be broken." ”

Tianchi shook his head and explained.

"But Sect Master, if you go alone, it's too dangerous, if you can't do it, let's find someone, or you can bring someone. ”

As soon as he heard Tianchi's method, Wuchang immediately persuaded him.

"This matter must be done by me, one less of your fifty disciples, the other party will be suspicious, only I, the main general, naturally do not have to stay in front of the battle from time to time, and the only thing you can help me is to try to attract the attention of the Western Xia soldiers, so as to facilitate my actions, and this method is what I think, you don't need to follow the danger, after all, one more person will be more likely to be exposed." ”

Tianchi directly refused.

"......"

"Don't mother-in-law, this is an order, it's my first death order as the sect master, do you have to disobey?"

Tianchi saw that Wuchang still didn't agree, so he ordered with a straight face.

"Then the sect master take care! I'll go down and command. ”

Seeing that Tianchi said this, Wuchang also had to agree to come down, and hurriedly went down to give orders after speaking.

Seeing Wuchang return to the camp, Tianchi took a deep breath and then flashed towards the Demon Beast Forest.

As for why he chose the Demon Beast Forest, it was because Tianchi had more experience in the forest, and it was easy to hide his whereabouts, so it was naturally set as the first choice by Tianchi......
