Chapter 572: Anticipate the Enemy's Opportunity, A Tragic Victory [4000 Words]

Whether it was the Evil Soul Master of the Holy Spirit Sect, the Title Douluo of the Ontology Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire, or the ninth-level Soul Master of the Sun and Moon Empire, they had all suffered casualties of varying degrees in this big melee.

Among them, there are many Title Douluo of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Ontology Sect.

The blood rain continued to fall from the sky, and the roar of the soul guide was like a never-ending movement, taking away one life after another.

The seemingly permanent western wall of Heaven Dou City had been blown out of a huge gap.

The whole wall looks pitted, even a little crumbling.

The battle has entered a white-hot state.

The soul power of the soul masters and soul masters on both sides has fallen below the middle line, and the casualties have surged, and the death toll has risen in a straight line.

The attack frequency of the Zhuge God ballista on the head of the Heavenly Soul Empire dropped again and again.

From the beginning of the thousand cannons, there are only a few hundred guns left that are still spitting fire.

On the Sun and Moon Empire's soul guide position, the powerful soul guide has already been dumbfounded.

They had also changed from directly attacking the city body of Heaven Dou City to using a large number of soul guide rays to shoot at the attacking enemy.

It can be said that until now, both sides have reached the end of the crossbow.

Relying on a large number of sealed milk bottles and customized soul guide shells stored in advance, the Sun and Moon Empire can be regarded as occupying a slight advantage.

After the large-scale collective battle without the light of Qianchao, every time the Sun and Moon Empire consumes a milk bottle, the Heavenly Soul Empire needs to fill it with human lives.

The balance of victory and defeat has faintly tilted in the direction of the Sun and Moon Empire.

If the human factor is not taken into account, and the consumption of the battle is simply calculated, it is only a matter of time before the Sun and Moon Empire wins.

But it can't be left unconsidered.

The people who fight here are all living people.

If you are human, you will have fear and a burden on your mind.

In the era of cold weapons, if a well-trained normal army has a battle loss ratio of more than 5 percent, there is a high probability that the whole army will break and flee.

If a unit can fight to the death even if the battle losses exceed 10%, it is already an absolute elite.

If you can persist in fighting even if the battle loss rate exceeds 30%, it will already be a god-like army, almost invincible.

On the Blue Star, there are thousands of elite troops in various countries, why can only the Celestial Empire Army be named invincible? Recognized as the pinnacle of light infantry?

It is precisely because no matter how many battle losses are exceeded, no matter how many of their comrades fall, even if they are the only ones left, they have the courage to carry their guns and launch the final charge.

Even if the whole army is killed in battle, as long as there is no order to retreat, it will never be possible to retreat a single step!

Death is also going to die on the ground!

Die on the way to the charge!

Now, how can the battle loss rate of the soul master and soul master on the Heavenly Soul side exceed 30%?

That's completely over 50 percent, and it's climbing wildly towards 60 percent!

On the battlefield, a large number of stumps and severed arms can be found everywhere, and the scarlet blood has gathered into a river, staining the dirt red.

But those warriors of the Heavenly Soul Empire were still waving the weapons in their hands, their eyes revealing madness and hatred, and they launched a suicidal charge towards the soul guide position of the Sun and Moon Empire again and again. ….

In the face of this kind of monster-like army that is not afraid of death, the soldiers of the Sun and Moon Empire have generally appeared in a chilling mood.

What kind of force is supporting them?

If this fight continues, when will the army of the Heavenly Soul Empire collapse, Tangerine is not clear.

However, if the battle losses of our own army exceed 10 percent and climb to 20 percent, I am afraid that the whole army will mutinier and flee.

If that time really comes, I am afraid that it will be a huge blow to the entire Eastern Crusade plan.

She didn't dare to gamble anymore.

Even if Tangerine is confident, there will be no problems with his ace troops.

But she didn't dare to bet that the other troops wouldn't show up

Issue.

I'd rather let go of Heaven Dou City than affect the overall plan.

She absolutely did not believe that the Heavenly Soul Empire would be able to reproduce today's battle again.

A low trumpet sounded.

This is the signal of the Sun and Moon Empire's Ming Jin to withdraw its troops.

Countless high-level soul guide shells exploded at the front of the soul guide position, covering their retreat while taking away one fresh life after another.

Everyone in the Sun and Moon Emperor's *** team breathed a sigh of relief, and retreated backwards like a tide, leaving a mess and potholes.

The Heavenly Soul Empire's side did not order a pursuit, but also retreated back to the city.

The two sides tacitly stopped, reined in the bodies of their comrades-in-arms, and took away the wounded comrades-in-arms.

No cheers, no excitement.

There are only two words in everyone's hearts - heaviness.

It's a battle with no winners.

The Sun and Moon Empire didn't win, and neither did the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire sat at the head of the city without an image, with his back to the city wall, his eyes closed, and his facial muscles kept spasming.

Heaven Dou City, probably saved.

But where should this huge Heavenly Soul Empire go?

Qian Chaoguang endured the dizziness and tingling pain in his head, and looked at the retreating Sun and Moon army and the tragic situation on the battlefield with Huo Yutong's support.

In the original book, the defense of Heaven Dou City is just two descriptions from the mouths of Vena and Dai Hao.

Those two paragraphs of text were cold and ruthless, just to set off the powerful background of the Sun and Moon Empire.

After witnessing all this, Qian Chaoguang truly realized the tragedy and cruelty of this battle.

Every soul master and every soldier who died in front of his eyes, their appearance before their death was so vivid.

Now, they can only sleep here.

Even with his advice, with the assistance of him and Huo Yutong, to suppress the strengths of the Sun and Moon army, the result of this battle can still be described as shocking.

Heaven Dou City was temporarily defended, but the Heavenly Soul side also paid the price of the four soul master legions being beaten to the point of canceling the number.

There are six soul master groups, and the number of survivors is less than a thousand.

Nearly a quarter of the disciples of the Ontology Sect were killed in battle, two were killed in the battle of Title Douluo, four were seriously injured, and everyone was injured.

[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books, change the source, and install the latest version.] 】

Even Poison Immortal was not lightly injured.

The Soul Master Legion sent by Xingluo to support was only six or seven hundred people left, not even enough for the number of a fully formed legion. ….

I don't know how many sects and soul masters who spontaneously went out to fight the enemy died on the battlefield, and how many people lost their loved ones.

There is no way to count these thousands of people in detail, and there is no detailed list of people at all.

There were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and it was not known how many people survived and how many more died.

As for the reinforcements of the Douling Empire, don't mention it.

There are ordinary soldiers on the left and right, what can they do?

Even if there is a slight bombardment on the city wall, and a little bombardment from the soul guide position behind the army, the damage is limited.

In a sense, the Heavenly Soul Empire won.

Because they once again held Heaven Dou City and blocked the invincible Sun and Moon army.

But this hard-won victory was too tragic.

If Tangerine still storms Heaven Dou City tomorrow regardless of any cost, no matter how much Qian Chaoguang anticipates the enemy's opportunity, it will be impossible to replicate today's results - the people have already been defeated.

What's more, with the passage of time, the war background of the Sun and Moon Empire will completely break out, and the combat effectiveness will be enhanced in a blowout, and the equipment will become more and more advanced.

In this battle, the Heavenly Soul Empire was in the right place at the right time.

Without counting the number of casualties among ordinary soldiers and the soul masters of the sect who spontaneously left the city, it was very reluctant

It was a four-to-one battle loss ratio.

This is already an extremely rare record.

In a situation like in the original book, the battle loss ratio is even as high as ten to one, and the casualties of ordinary soldiers still have to be calculated.

For example, those soul master groups, not to mention death in a battle, there are not even a few wounded.

It's completely exchanging the lives of soul masters and soul masters for some meaningless battles and numbers.

After a little more delay, after the Sun and Moon army collectively installed a large-scale linkage soul guide and a high-energy compression array soul guide, it would become a fool's dream to play today's battle loss ratio.

The later stage of the defense linkage soul guide can even resist Super Douluo without injury, not to mention things like ordinary custom-installed soul guide shells.

A large number of ordinary soldiers moved again on the city walls.

They carry the corpses of their comrades, repair the broken walls, and are ready for the next battle.

The entire Heaven Dou City was like a twilight lion surrounded by wolves, lonely licking his wounds that had been bitten in battle, waiting for a miracle to come.

At the head of the city, Poison Immortal dragged his body injured by Long Xiaoyao and walked over, limping.

The original neat clothes also looked like beggars, with a large number of blood clots that had already coagulated.

Qian Chaoguang raised his hand to release a few divine healings for him.

As a result, the treatment was not released, but the stinging pain in my head intensified, and my whole brain felt as if it was about to be torn apart.

"Rest by yourself, your teacher and I are still strong. Overdrawing mental strength is not a trivial matter, so don't leave the sequelae behind." Poison Immortal waved his hand.

But it was this subconscious simple action that made this Essence Douluo so painful that he couldn't help but grin his teeth.

"Teacher, how are you?"

Qian Chaoguang was inconvenient to speak, Huo Yutong took the initiative to ask. ….

"It's okay, this old thing Long Xiaoyao is really ruthless, and he almost broke up my old bones." Poison Immortal took a few breaths of cold air.

His dark green eyes looked around, revealing a deep melancholy.

"After this battle, at least the precipitation of my Ontology Sect has been ruined for a hundred years, and the dead are all good seedlings. This war...... It's not good."

Huo Yutong said softly, "Teacher, what are you going to do next?"

"What's next?"

Poison Immortal suddenly fell silent, and countless moans and wails continued to reach his ears.

The tall old man shook his head a little weakly, looking a little dejected.

He laughed at himself, "Who knows, I don't know what to do. If this battle continues like this again, if it is fought a few more times, I am afraid that our Ontology Sect will have thousands of years of foundation...... It's going to be buried in the hands of an incompetent old thing."

Qian Chaoguang endured the sharp pain in his head and reluctantly said, "Teacher, don't be so pessimistic...... This war...... It will continue, but the intensity will not be so great again, and the casualties will be ...... It won't be this big again."

The poisonous immortal seemed to return to the light, and raised his head reluctantly, and the essence in his eyes burst out: "Chaoguang, are you sure?"

The Heavenly Soul Emperor in the distance also heard the conversation between the three masters and apprentices, and no longer cared about the imperial majesty, he rushed over with one arrow step.

He didn't speak, just leaned on the ruined city wall, staring at Qian Chaoguang with burning eyes, his eyes full of anticipation.

"At least...... Eighty percent of the likely."

The mental power has been replenished somewhat, and Qian Chaoguang's headache has been relieved.

"Wait until tomorrow morning, and you will know if my guess is correct by looking at the Sun Moon Empire's troop formation. They can't figure out the details of us now, and they won't waste their time rashly on Heaven Dou City."

"Tomorrow the battle to defend the city will start again, if one or two of the Protector Hands are missing, it will prove that the Sun and Moon Empire has given up on capturing Heaven Dou in a short period of time, and will instead turn to a tug-of-war."

"If they're still like

Today, the whole army will directly press the border and launch a general attack......

Speaking of this, Qian Chaoguang couldn't help but show a wry smile.

「...... Then I suggest that Your Majesty should run away, we don't have the ability to replicate today's miracle again. Even if I could recover, there wouldn't be that many warriors left."

The Heavenly Soul Emperor held Qian Chaoguang's hand tightly, and bent down deeply, his face full of sadness: "It's really ...... Is there no way around it? Chaoguang, I beg you, save the Heaven Dou City, save the Heavenly Soul, save the people of Li!"

"Your Majesty, I would love to help you, but I really don't have that ability."

In the face of this Heavenly Soul Emperor who has done everything, what can Qian Chaoguang say?

He could only keep a wry smile on.

"Even if I can anticipate the enemy's opportunity, I really can't do anything in the face of absolute strength. The premise of breaking the other party's plan is that the other party must use the plan, Your Majesty!"

"I can tell you responsibly, based on the information I've gathered, if the Sun and Moon Empire lets go of Heaven Dou City, their goal must be to go north and occupy as much of the Heavenly Soul's territory as possible."

"Even if we now know their war intentions, what good is that? Can you still muster more troops north for an ambush?"

"Even today's all-out and ruined siege of the city, we have won very hard. Even to be precise, it can't be said that we won, but the Sun and Moon Emperor *** chose the way to play with the fewest casualties and took the initiative to retreat......

The Heavenly Soul Emperor is gone.

That back looked dejected and lonely.

Huo Yutong touched Qian Chaoguang with his elbow: "Brother, is there really no way?"

Of course, Qian Chaoguang knew what Huo Yutong meant.

She was referring to whether there was a way to break the game without using the force of the Undead Empire.

Poison Immortal is also listening with his ears pricked up.

He hoped that his disciple's previous words were just a rejection of the Heavenly Soul Emperor's invitation to get Shrek Academy to send a rescue, and that it was not really hopeless.
