Chapter 5: Deterring the Enemy (3)
Due to the thickness and width of the demon army, the Heavenly Court side did not see the army of Bird Condensation, and it was extremely unexpected to see the sudden withdrawal of the demon army when the killing was in full swing, and they looked at each other one by one, not knowing how to face the emergency.
If the Emperor of Heaven can lead the army to cover up the past at this time, it will inevitably be miraculous, but it is a pity that they have been attacked by the demon army fifty times in a row, and they already have the idea of full defense in their minds, and suddenly no one dares to attack rashly, after all, there are fewer enemies and more, and it is not easy to hold the defense line, if you want to take the initiative to attack, you must have stronger self-confidence, but unfortunately although there are many elites in the heavenly court, there are more smart people, but no one dares to propose a counterattack, and a great opportunity is missed in vain.
The flag in the north was silent, and the south also stopped, because it was only a shock and deterrence, Que Ning did not want to be too aggressive, and was also worried that the southern phase city behind him would send troops to attack, so he summoned the generals to discuss in the air.
"Sister Wan Ting, what do you think should happen now?"
Que Ning didn't ask the five tiger generals to ask Ji Huanting first, it can be seen from the above that her admiration for Ji Huanting made this beautiful yin quite surprised, and she muttered for a while before saying: "Now we can only look at the reaction of the demon army first, our first goal has achieved the effect, and the demon army does not seem to be idle, although the commotion is big, it has not caused abnormal actions, and there is no division of troops to monitor us, although I don't know the reason, I suspect that they don't want to return to Nanxiang City at all, and they don't have that as a way out."
"This is reasonable, the movement of the demon army is indeed unexpected, almost crazy."
"I'm afraid that even if we leave now, they won't stop attacking."
"Leave?" Finch Ning looked shocked, staring at the illusory soul shadow with a shocked face.
"With our strength, it's not appropriate to attack now, and there's not much point in staying, so it's better to turn east and raid the ......tail of that demon army while the enemy doesn't know what's going on."
Que Ning smiled and praised: "Sister is very strategic, there are three million troops over there, and the attack is extremely fierce, the pressure in the eastern frontier is not comparable to that of the Heavenly Court, and it is more useful for them if we go."
"Definitely! I think we should take advantage of the air superiority, and the tail of the two armies will constantly create chaos, occasionally scare them, occasionally fight, and run away after the fight, so that neither side can look at each other."
"Wonderful!" The four marshals praised in unison, this plan seems simple, but it pinched the enemy's psychology, the demon is an invading army, the retreat has disappeared, and the frenzied battle is not only because of the desire to return, but also because of strong concern,
Yeluyun remained silent, and when he saw that everyone had finished deliberating, he said in a deep voice, "In that case, I will lead the army back to the south."
"Why?"
"I've been thinking about a question, the enemy has five million people, if they act in unison and flock to the eastern frontier together, I'm afraid it is no longer the current situation, just one million flying demons can send a huge ground force to the belly of the eastern frontier, even if it is intercepted, the 500,000 group of flying demons plus the carrying soldiers add up to one million, which is enough to resist the heavenly soldiers, in that case, the situation in the heavenly realm will be very different, although Nanxiang City can be recovered, but the entire eastern frontier will fall into the hands of the demons."
It's not that Que Ning and the other celestials haven't thought about it, it's just that such hypothetical ideas are not their forte, and the thoughts are just fleeting, and now they are aroused by Ye Luyun's words, and they feel that this phenomenon is really strange.
"Demons must have their reasons, right? We're not demons, it's hard to guess." Yuan shrugged.
"Yes, we're not demons, but it's not like we can't guess their mentality." Yeluyun saw that Yuan's face was puzzled, and explained with a smile: "If the war is not strong or weak, the mentality on the battlefield is the biggest factor that dominates the outcome - you don't have to look at me like this, I don't want to deny the factor of combat power, but I am talking about how to decide the victory or defeat when the combat power is equal, as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, a hundred battles will not be defeated, and if you can't guess the enemy's mentality, you can't have a higher chance of winning."
"I agree!" As soon as Que Ning made a statement, everyone else had nothing to say.
"Just now, I listened to Wan Ting's words—" Yelu Yun smiled at Ji Wan Ting, "I suddenly thought of something, maybe it wasn't the enemy's intention to feint, but the enemy's internal division."
"Differentiation?"
"Hmm! If I were the leader of the demons and had absolute power, I would definitely attack the eastern frontier with all my might, and give up any city behind me."
Everyone nodded in agreement, this offensive is the most powerful, and the fastest to achieve the goal, although the heavenly realm has the power, but suddenly to face such a huge enemy army, it is impossible to organize the defense network of the eastern frontier in an instant, as long as there is a flaw, the demon army will break through, and then the heavenly court can only adopt a counter-encirclement posture, so that the sky will fall into the hands of the demon army, and whether the demon army stays or leaves, it is up to them to decide.
"The demons are not stupid, the fact that the millions of demon armies can hold on to this kind of place is enough to show their ability, such an obvious marching strategy is not adopted, it can be seen that there must be a lot of different voices within the demon army, some demons seek stability, and feel that they should first take root after capturing a large area of southern Xinjiang, and wait for southern Xinjiang to completely fall under control, and then attack the heavenly court north after the rear base is built, the chance is greater."
After some analysis, although everyone could not fully understand, they knew that Yeluyun's suspicion was not unreasonable.
"That's right, that's what the modeatists would choose."
"If this is the moderate faction, then the other faction is the radical faction, these days the demon army is almost invincible, under the stimulation of strong self-confidence, self-confidence will be extremely inflated, they believe that with their current strength, they can capture the heavenly court, control the entire Ming Yuan Heaven, there is no need for the empty door at all, because they believe that when the Ming Yuan Heaven falls into control, the empty gate will naturally be a treasure to probe."
Everyone glanced at the demon army's array, and they all understood that Yeluyun was referring to the million-strong army on the ground.
"Of course, the vast majority of them are intellectual, they want to occupy Mingyuantian, but they don't want to cut off the back road, occupy the eastern frontier, take down the empty gate, and if they have a way to retreat, they can do whatever they want, they can leave and stay as much as they want, these people are considered centrists, and they have the largest number of people, and the army attacking the eastern frontier is this category."
After an analysis, the behavior of the demon army was peeled back layer by layer, and the plain words were not only understood by Qi Ning and others, but even the heavenly soldiers and generals who surrounded them also understood, and everyone showed a sudden realization, and the matter was so simple after such an analysis.
"Divide, divide...... Izuru muttered to himself for a while, and suddenly asked, "You mean to divide and conquer by using the divisions within them?"
"That's right, there are a lot of demons, and the power of unity is very terrifying, we not only want to divide it, but also create a division, so that the enemy's three armies will lose cooperation with each other, and the enemy will be distributed in a zigzag pattern, north, east, and south, what we need to do now is to absolutely not let this army converge."
"This is right, but the demon army is overwhelming, and it is a bit difficult to prevent them from converging with our strength."
"I'm not talking about suppressing them with military force, but also to make each side feel that their choice is right, as long as the three-way demon army sticks to their choice, they will definitely not turn back and admit defeat to the other two factions."
"Reasonable, so what should we do?"
"Lord Birding, you sit in the middle of the three-way army's communication line, and keep any demons who try to pass on the news."
"Yes."
"Each of the four Heavenly Marshals led their own military horses to wander behind the demon army on the east and north roads, but don't attack too often, and make the enemy feel that they are playing this little trick because the pressure on the defense line is too great, so that they will feel that if they add more force, the enemy formation can be broken."
The four handsome looked at each other and smiled, Ye Luyun and Ji Huanting both liked to play such a small trick, which was neither effortless nor dangerous.
"Huanting and I took our headquarters back to southern Xinjiang."
"Back to Southern Xinjiang?"
Yeluyun smiled slightly, and said sonorously word by word: "I want to attack Nanxiang City."
"What!"
Everyone was stunned, the six armies were not sure to take advantage of the slightest advantage under Nanxiang City, how could the demons alone capture the big city guarded by a million demon troops, unless Yeluyun transferred all the demons to attack, in that case, it would be protracted, and I don't know when it would be completed.
"Don't worry, of course I'm not stupid enough to attack, I just want to make a fuss about the psychology of the moderate." Yeluyun smiled brightly, making everyone around him feel a strong sense of self-confidence.
"Alright! The affairs of southern Xinjiang will be left to you, it doesn't matter what you can do, you just need to take care of the proportions yourself."
"Lord Quening, in the end, you need to go out in person to recover Southern Xinjiang!"
Lord Que Ning was stunned, and soon found more meaning from Yeluyun's smile, and after a little thought, he already understood that this was to hand over the great work of recovering Nanxiang City to himself, the Emperor of Heaven lost Nanxiang City, and Nanxiang took back Nanxiang City, which would have a very far-reaching impact in the eyes of other celestials.
"Wan Ting, let's go!"
"Hmm!"
Seeing the two of them lead the eagle man away, the five people in the air all had an inexplicable feeling that the heavenly realm should definitely not become a battlefield, because the heavenly people are simple and square, and they are not in a hurry to conspire, even if they win in the end, they will suffer heavy losses.
The best way to keep the war out of the Celestial Realm is to keep the enemy out of the Heavenly Gate!
