......
Huo Guang stood in the military tent, listening to the summoner report on today's battle. As the war between the cultivators and the demons gradually kicked off, in order to spy on the armament of the demons, the various realms and heavens sent elite battles to launch tentative attacks on the demons.
The five major factions responsible for this assault were Qin Zhong of Beiju Luzhou, Fang Cun Mountain Fuli, Yiyu Palace Qimeng and Huasheng Temple Kong Ming, these four people, together with Huo Guang of the Kunlun faction, are known as the new generation of five tiger generals in the cultivation world.
"Well, I really want to have a good fight. Huo Guang looked at the battle reports of Qin Zhong, Fu Li, Qi Meng, and Kong Ming, and his eyes were full of passionate battle intent.
In the tent, a middle-aged man dressed in a gossip palace feather robe and holding a jade plaque in his hand said with relief: "The young master doesn't have to worry about not having the opportunity to make contributions. Qin Zhong, Fu Li, Qi Meng, and Kong Ming's people did a good job, but these four people only had a brigade of divisions, and their subordinates were only a few thousand, and they were not just the vanguard in their legions. And the young master came to the Northern Heaven to serve as a garrison, which can be said to be the sole leader, and there are 30,000 elite war departments of the Kunlun lineage alone under his command, and if you add the various departments of the Northern Realm, there are more than 100,000 people. "This middle-aged man's name is Liu Ye, he is old and practical, and he is resourceful, and he is deeply trusted by the head of the Huo family. This time, Huo Guang came to the Northern Lands to take charge of one side, and the ancestor of the Huo family sent Liu Hua to assist him.
Huo Guang looked at the huge map on the wall, shook his head, and said: "My subordinates have a lot of war departments, but in fact, what they can really fight is only the 30,000 elites brought from Kunlun, and among the rest of the Northern Heavenly Divisions, except for a few war departments such as the Golden Lotus City Proud Feather Department and the Haotian Sect Wang Ba Department, the rest of the combat power is not worth mentioning. And the demon war department around the realms of my northern land, there are no less than 100,000 people, if you talk about the number of people, we are above the enemy, but if you talk about combat power, the other party is far superior to our department, if it is a hard confrontation, we have no chance of winning. ā
Liu Ye said: "However, it is difficult for a strong dragon to fight a ground snake. There are many dangerous passes in the northern realms, and the various departments of the northern realms have lived here for generations, and they are very familiar with the terrain of this place, and they have occupied a favorable geographical position. Moreover, in order to prevent the invasion of demons, all the northern tribes are carefully managed by defense, and the customs and prohibitions are very complete, and the fortresses are even more impregnable. If the demons want to get in, they have to pay a huge price, not to mention that we still have 30,000 elite divisions of the Kunlun faction under our hands. ā
Huo Guang looked at the huge map, sighed, and said, "However, according to the current situation, once we fight, we will definitely be more than lucky." ā
Liu Ye didn't know where Huo Guang's worries were, he pondered for a while, and said: "The northern realms are too big, and there are too many points to be held on our defense line. And at the slightest loss, the entire line of defense is in danger of collapsing. ā
Huo Guang nodded and said, "I'm worried about this." The gentleman is resourceful and must have a good plan, and please give me advice. ā
Liu Ye returned the salute and said, "The young master has won the award." This time, the ancestor sent me to assist the young master, to give advice to the young master, and to counsel the military affairs of the young master, which was originally the responsibility of his subordinates. He paused and said to Huo Guang: "The subordinates have a strategy, which can solve the young master's worries, but this strategy is a bit extreme, whether it can be done or not, please ask the young lord to balance." ā
Huo Guangdao: "Mr. has something to say, don't be restrained." ā
Liu Ye pointed to the huge map and said: "Young master, please see, among the realms of the northern land, there are many plains and lowlands in the south, and the terrain is flat, and most of these places are bordered by demons, while the north is surrounded by peaks, many dangerous passes, and it is in the hinterland of the interior. My opinion is that when we want to allocate our troops, we can focus on the front and the rear, and only a small number of local war units can be deployed in the plains and lowlands in the south to hold key points and delay the enemy's attack; our main forces can be concentrated on the high north and focus on guarding the major passes; at the same time, we must also get a good grasp of building fortresses and city defenses, and link up all the passes and defenses as a whole, so as to form a defensive system that takes into account both offense and defense and echoes each other. ā
Huo Guang nodded while listening, and said, "Sir's strategy can really be described as a true understanding. According to the sir's strategy, our defense line has been shortened by three-quarters, which also means that we can concentrate our forces to defend the main points, and we can also leave a powerful elite battle force in our hands, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the demons. ā
Huo Guang was like a stream, and he quickly made adjustments according to Liu Ye's suggestion. After Huo Guang completed the adjustment, he carefully checked it three more times and made some minor adjustments, and then he said to Liu Ye sincerely: "Mr. is an old military officer, please help me palm my eyes again and see if there are any things that need to be improved." ā
"Everyone in the world calls the young master a rare warrior in a hundred years, and he really deserves his name. Liu Ye looked at the adjusted troop deployment map and the new combat plan, and his heart was full of shock.
Huo Guang's adjustment was so large that even Liu Ye himself was a little surprised. However, under his careful look, every adjustment of Huo Guang was extremely reasonable, and the deployment and use of troops were also extremely precise, even an old military counselor like him, who had been in the army for a long time, could not find fault.
However, the only thing that made Liu Ye feel uneasy was that Huo Guang had withdrawn all the war units located on the southern front, leaving only a few strongholds that were easy to hold in order to delay the demon's movements. From a tactical point of view, Huo Guang was completely correct in doing this, which was conducive to concentrating troops and avoiding unnecessary attrition of troops. It's just that in this way, if the demons invade on a large scale, the scene at the beginning will not be ugly, and it is very easy for people with ulterior motives to attack him for fear of the enemy and cowardice, and he will not move forward.
Liu Ye thought about it, and finally decided to remind: "After the young master's adjusted defense line, the passes are tightly defended, echoing each other, and if one side is hostile, you can support from all sides." The most important thing is that the young master also has a powerful mobile warfare department in his hands, which can give the enemy a fatal blow at any time. It's just that we have withdrawn all the troops on the southern front, and we are afraid that there will be gossip from below. At that time, it will also have a negative impact on the reputation of the young master......"
Huo Guang smiled open-mindedly and said: "The way of a warrior lies in deciding the victory or defeat of life and death, as long as you can achieve victory, why should you be famous?"
......
"Huh, have you heard that Huo Guang's kid is going to withdraw all the war departments in front?"
"Hmph! I still need to hear that this war department retreated one team after another, and even the blind could see it. ā
"Alas, under the fame, it is actually difficult to deserve. It is said that this Huo Guang is a talent, but he didn't expect it to be a straw bag who is afraid of the enemy like a tiger. ā
"Yes, compared to Qin Zhong, Fu Li, Qi Meng, and Kong Ming, this Huo Guang is far behind. I really don't understand, how could the Council of Elders send such a stupid pig to our Northland Realm?"
"Cowardice before you fight. With such a guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death to come to the Northlands, this battle can't be fought. ā
"One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted. Isn't he opening the door to thieves?"
After Huo Guang's battle order was issued, the Southern Front War Department was quickly withdrawn. For a while, the people of the entire Northland Realms were talking about it. The cultivators located on the southern border were even forced to flee, and people were displaced, flocking to the northern mountains of the northern realms, and some discouraged people even migrated to the hinterland of the cultivators by raising clans or sects.
After the war department of the southern front was withdrawn, Wushuang City lost all its barriers, and was pushed to the forefront of the confrontation with demons at once, and could be attacked by demons at any time.
The most important thing is that in Huo Guang's plan, Wushuang City is one of the most important strongholds to stay in front to contain the demons.
In order to enhance the defense ability of Wushuang City and delay the actions of the demons to the greatest extent, Huo Guang ordered the three war divisions withdrawn from the front to enter the Wushuang City to defend it, and he also issued an extremely harsh battle order: "All the cultivators in the Wushuang City are assigned to the War Department, hold on to the city, and live and die together with the Wushuang City." Violators of orders are to be executed in accordance with military law. ā
This is also equivalent to forcing Wushuang City and all the cultivators in the city to a dead end.
"It's over, it's over this time. We're being used as cannon fodder. ā
"This Huo Guang is too damn poisonous. Doesn't this clearly treat our Peerless City as a meat shield?"
"Yes, the demon soldiers are there, and there is not a single grass left. After this big battle, I'm afraid that there won't be a few people left in our Peerless City. ā
......
For a while, all the cultivators in the city were talking, and everyone greeted Huo Guang and his immediate female relatives in the most vicious language. However, people curse and curse, but there is nothing they can do. Because all the traffic arteries in Wushuang City were blocked by the Kunlun disciples who were in charge of supervising the battle by Huo Guanglai, the entire Wushuang City was only allowed to enter but not leave, and violators were punished as those who escaped from the battle.
Even Ruoxi didn't expect that Huo Guang's shot would be so ruthless.
Although as the saying goes, mercy is not in charge of soldiers. But in any case, Ruoxi still felt that Huo Guang's move was too vicious.
You must know that there are nearly half a million cultivators in Wushuang City, and most of them are production cultivators with low cultivation and almost no combat power, and their existence is not conducive to changing the development of the battle situation at all.
For this reason, Ruoxi personally sent a letter to Huo Guang, hoping that he could let the old and weak and production cultivators in the city leave. As a result, she soon got Huo Guang's handwritten reply: The girl was compassionate and deeply admired by Huo. However, this is a war with demons, and this war is equally cruel to everyone, and he does not make any difference because you are a production cultivator or old and weak. So, please forgive me for not being able to accede to the girl's request.
