Chapter 778: The Coalition Arrives
When the coalition forces arrived ten miles outside the Central Plains City, they did not see any combat readiness of the Xiuzhen Sect.
Fan Jin, the leader of the Monkey Heaven Sect, said to Jiang Chunqiu: "The front is the Central Plains City, but I haven't seen any movement from the Xiuzhen Sect yet. We should suspend the march and send spies to investigate the situation before deciding on the next move. ”
Gu Cheng, the sect leader of the Gushan Sect, agreed, and echoed: "Sect Master Fan is reasonable, if we make such a big move, the Xiuzhen Sect will not know anything about it, nor will it sit back and wait for death without making a little preparation."
We must send our shrewd and capable disciples to conduct comprehensive and detailed reconnaissance, and after obtaining accurate information, we must decide on our next move. ”
Wang's anger. Deng Yong and Long Yifei echoed together, and Jiang Chunqiu also thought it was reasonable, so he ordered to stop the advance, rest on the spot, and send hundreds of shrewd spies to infiltrate the Central Plains City in disguise as various characters to spy on intelligence.
Let these spies sneak into the Central Plains City, they can't see the slightest preparation for war, they can't smell the tense atmosphere, everything is as usual, the city is prosperous, and the businesses are thriving. There was an endless stream of people coming and going, and the spies were confused and inexplicable.
Hundreds of spies returned the situation they had detected to report to Jiang Chunqiu and the others. When several leaders heard this, they all felt incredible, and a question arose in their hearts: the coalition army came to attack the Central Plains City, and the Xiuzhen Sect really didn't know or pretended not to know.
If you really don't know, it's against common sense. Xiuzhen Sect took the Central Plains City Lord's Mansion at a lightning speed, this person at the helm should be a military genius, how could the enemy's army come to the city, I don't know yet.
If it is pretending not to know, then what is the purpose of this person? As soon as the coalition army's two million troops enter the city, the Central Plains City will definitely be devastated, and that is not child's play. The leader of the Xiuzhen Sect would never make such a low-level mistake.
Jiang Chunqiu was also confused by this situation, and simply gathered the heads of the eighteen forces to discuss countermeasures.
Jiang Chunqiu told everyone the information of the spies' reconnaissance, and then asked: "You all carefully analyze, what is the reason for this situation, and what countermeasures should we take?" ”
Gu Cheng said: "In my opinion, there are only two possibilities: first, the enemy has already prepared, set up an ambush, and wait for the king to enter the urn. Second, the enemy has no time to deploy troops and dispatches generals, and is playing an empty city plan to scare us away. ”
Long Yifei, the head of the Long family, said, "I agree with the analysis of the ancient sect master, but these two possibilities are completely different, and a completely different decision needs to be made. If it's an empty city plan, it's easy to do, as long as we break through the wide city, the Xiuzhen Sect will be helpless, and we will only be slaughtered.
But if it is the first type, will we not fall headlong into the enemy's trap, and then we will cry without tears.
So in order to make the right decision, you must first determine whether the enemy has set up an ambush or is singing an empty plan. ”
Fan Jin said: "The head of the Long family is right, you have to find out the truth in order to make the right decision. We might as well analyze the enemy's situation together and come up with the enemy's intentions.
Xiuzhenzong defeated the city lord's mansion of the Central Plains City, with only 2,000 soldiers, and relied on the success of the surprise attack to take the city lord's mansion in one fell swoop. Then the evil words confuse the people, and each of them bribed the soldiers of the former city lord's mansion to fight the resisters. pulled and struck, and gradually disintegrated all the soldiers of the original city lord's mansion, and took refuge in the Xiuzhen Sect and became a disciple of the Xiuzhen Sect.
As can be seen from the above table, the commander of the Xiuzhen Sect is not only a military wizard, but also a management genius. Under his command, the Central Plains City, which the original city lord Yu Yi had worked hard to manage for more than 1,500 years, fell apart and became the fat in the mouth of the Xiuzhen Sect.
It is obviously impossible for such a genius to say that he has not received the message that we are going to attack the Central Plains City, and that he has not yet prepared for our troops in the city. So what did they do to prepare?
From the strength of the Xiuzhen Sect. It is obviously unrealistic to use the 800,000 troops of the original city lord's mansion against our 2 million elite soldiers. Among the 800,000 troops, the cultivators above level 9 had already been killed by the Xiuzhen Sect in the battle of the City Lord's Mansion. The elite soldiers have almost lost everything.
After all, the rest of the soldiers have only been in the Xiuzhen Sect for a few days, and their loyalty is also questionable. Therefore, I think it is impossible for the Xiuzhen Sect to use these 800,000 soldiers to fight against us.
In addition to these 800,000 troops, they only have 2,000 elite disciples of the Xiuzhen Sect, and if they rely on these 2,000 elite disciples to fight against the Xiuzhen Sect, it is obviously enough for our coalition army to plug their teeth.
With such an analysis, the only way for the Amendment Sect to confront us is to go to the branches of Zhongshenzhou, Nantianzhou, and Fangfang Prefecture to move rescue troops.
There is no doubt that the strength of the various branches of the Xiuzhen Sect is unquestionable. Taoism. Zhongchangzong, Penglaizong...... They are the famous old sects in the fairy world, and they are gathered together, and their strength far surpasses ours.
We will fight this battle only if these divisions are not joined in that we will be able to achieve absolute victory, and once these divisions are in the war, we have no hope of victory.
Now we will study whether the Xiuzhen Sect has sent the soldiers of the branch here. If we are transferred, we don't have to fight, and we can go home as soon as possible.
If we don't transfer it, we can wipe out all the Xiuzhen Sects in Central Plains City in one go! ”
Fan Jin's analysis is reasonable, well-founded and convincing, but no one knows whether the Xiuzhen Sect has brought in rescuers, and no one knows.
Jiang Chunqiu said: "Sect Master Fan's analysis is very reasonable, so let's think about it, how can we get the real information, did the Xiuzhen Sect bring in rescuers?" ”
Deng Yong, the city lord of Baishan City, said: "This is easy, if the Xiuzhen Sect wants to move rescue troops, at least two million soldiers must be moved. More than two million people, the appearance is not easy to hide, sleeping, eating, drinking and Lazar will be exposed to the public's eyes, there is no way to hide, everyone in the Central Plains City will know.
Our 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, more than 2 million people, many of whom have good relations with the Central Plains City, let these soldiers go to their relatives and friends to inquire about it, and you will know as soon as you ask. ”
Eighteen suzerains, sect masters, city lords, and family masters...... They all nodded and praised: "This plan is very good, no matter how mysterious the Xiuzhen Sect is, it will be revealed in its original form." ”
Everyone agreed, and with a wave of Jiang Chunqiu's hand, there were thousands of strangers in the Central Plains City, and these people, without exception, all went to their relatives' homes and friends' houses. Many of them are Yu Yi's henchmen or family members.
After these people inquired clearly, they returned to the coalition army, and everyone said that there was not a single foreign Xiuzhen Sect disciple in the Central Plains City in the past few days. But there was a strange phenomenon, that is, the two thousand disciples of the Cultivation True Sect who had destroyed the City Lord's Mansion suddenly disappeared.
Eighteen mental figures analyzed the situation, thinking that the rescue troops of the Xiuzhen Sect had not yet arrived, after all, the nearest one was more than a hundred thousand miles, and there were no two days that could not fly, and it would take four days to come and go, plus the assembly, it would take at least six days, and it was only three days since their alliance meeting was dispersed.
This time, the Allies were exceptionally fast, and they were also racing against time to push their speed to the limit. At the usual pace, it would take at least seven days, but this time it only took them three days, more than half of the usual.
Jiang Chunqiu said: "It only takes three days after our meeting, and it will take at least one day for the Xiuzhen Sect to get the news of our alliance. It will take two or three days to go back to the branch to move the rescue troops, and it is not enough to have the strength of one branch, and it is necessary to dispatch the troops of two or three branches, so that it will take two days to gather the troops, and it will take another two or three days to get here, and it will take seven or eight days before and after.
After analyzing the commander in this way, I think that there is a more than 80% chance that the Xiuzhen Sect will sing the empty city plan, and those two thousand elite disciples should have been hidden a long time ago. These disciples will fight when they see a good situation, and they will flee without the certainty of victory, and when the time comes, they will let the disciples of the City Lord's Mansion be cannon fodder. ”
Seeing that Jiang Chunqiu's analysis was the head of the Dao, the participants no longer doubted him, so they unanimously agreed to enter the Central Plains City.
Two million disciples entered the protective array. The edge of the protective array was ten miles away from the Central Plains City. Wei Jie placed the battlefield within these ten miles. The advantage of this arrangement is that it does not allow the enemy to enter the city to disturb the people, and does not allow the enemy to escape.
Seeing that the rear team of the coalition army had also entered the protective array, Wei Jie flew around the Central Plains City to teleport all the 3.5 million disciples who cultivated the Cave Heaven.
