Chapter 184: The Last War
It's as simple as seven walls, and when the battle starts the next day, Xu Ji knows the answer - there is no ambush behind the city wall, it is really seven walls.
But the problem is that there is not one, but seventy-two, which is why it is called the seventy-two purple cities.
Seventy-two cities, densely packed on the ground, arched the cave in the center, and each of them had seven walls. This is the defense system that Sun Li has built up for so many days.
Breaking through a wall sounds simple, but no matter how simple it is, multiplied by seven and then multiplied by seventy-two, it will not be easier.
After discovering this, Xu Ji's face stiffened slightly, and Jiang Sheng's face was even more iron-blue, and he gritted his teeth and said, "General, this is ...... This ......"
"What is this!" Xu Ji opened his mouth, his face gloomy, "Isn't it just that there are a few more city walls, a few more cities, and it's not a sea of swords, mountains and fires, all of which will be captured for me." Even if he's solid, he's going to dig me up!"
"But ......"
"Did you hear that!" Xu Ji roared again.
Jiang Sheng was excited, heard the determination in Xu Ji's mouth, and the next moment he smashed a punch on the armor on his chest, and responded loudly, "I heard it!"
"Now that you hear it, do it for me. β
"Yes!" Jiang Sheng regrouped, led the people, lifted the bumping wood, and attacked towards the second city.
For the next three days, the sound of crashing trees did not cease, and the city finally fell one by one.
Three days later, the outermost thirty-six cities of the seventy-two purple cities had all been captured and destroyed, and the innermost thirty-six cities had also become precarious. Although these cities are stronger, it is only a matter of time before they are conquered. Under Xu Ji's calm order, the balance of victory in the war began to tilt.
For this, the gourd babies saw a little bit of contempt, but Wu Fugui saw everything.
So, when the night of the third day came, and after the battle was over, Wu Fugui began to read this matter anxiously in the cave, "No, no, it's really not okay to go on like this." We have to think of a way, otherwise it won't be a few days before our place will be flattened. β
"Is it so serious?" Da Waleng looked at the second baby.
"I don't know, the third brother may know. The second baby looked at the third baby again.
Sanwa yawned and asked sleepily, "Hmm, what did you just ask me about?"
The fourth baby hated iron and steel, slapped the third baby on the head, and scolded: "You know how to sleep." β
"Okay, the third brother is also tired of fighting with those people in black armor during the day, so let's sleep. "Wuwa understands very well.
Liuwa couldn't sit still, "Don't mess around, the question now is, what should we do about things outside? If someone from outside comes in, we all have to finish playing." β
Qiwa nodded solemnly, "The sixth brother is right. β
"Then Brother Seven, what can you do about it?" asked Dawa with wide eyes.
"Nope. Qiwa said very simply.
Wu Fugui was about to cover his head on the side, and he knew that it was useless to rely on these people, so he had to look at the busy person in the cave, "Sun Gongzi? Sun Gongzi, you should think of a way, right?"
Sun Li ignored it, and just continued to be busy with the matter at handβcarefully fusing the liquid in the purple red gourd and the white jade porcelain bottle, observing the phenomenon. And when you observe, it's more than half an hour.
Wu Fugui was in a hurry, really anxious, so anxious that he was about to hit his head against the wall, and at this time, Sun Li looked at the slightly turbid droplets, finally stood up, and said slowly: "Don't be in a hurry, it's useless to be anxious." β
"Huh?" Wu Fugui retracted his head that hit the wall and looked at it sharply.
"You have to be clear, no matter what, with our current strength, we are no match for the 30,000 Black Flag Army outside. Therefore, it is almost impossible to win, unless, the 30,000 people outside will retreat on their own. β
"Retreat by yourself, how is this possible?" Wu Fugui said in disbelief.
"Yes, that's the crux of the matter, that's why I let them tear down thirty-six cities in a row. β
"Huh?" Wu Fugui was a little flustered.
"You know, it's very tiring to demolish the city, and when you're tired, you have to eat more. And when there is nothing to eat, these people will naturally leave. β
"But, it seems, they still have something to eat. Wu Fugui said.
"But it won't be too much, after all, the march is fighting, and it is in the mountains, it is impossible to bring too much food, and now at most, there are only three or two days left, and it is almost time to organize a grain transport team to transport food. β
"That?"
Sun Li didn't explain, but looked at everyone in the cave and directly ordered, "Wu Fugui, you go and pick dozens of people from the Spirit Stimulation Point, plus the four babies, sneak out of the encirclement while it is dark, and then ambush on the way into the mountain." As long as they found that there was food transported, they immediately robbed it and burned it. β
"Oh. Wu Fugui nodded and went to work.
Sun Li looked at the other six gourd babies who were still in the cave, and said, "Six babies, seven babies, you go with me." β
"What are you going to do?" asked Qiwa, sitting on Liuwa's lap.
"Leave it alone, you'll find out when the time comes. Sun Lidao, and then walked out of the cave directly, out of the city, the seven babies and the six babies glanced at each other, although they were a little puzzled, but they still followed.
A moment later, the figures of the three men quietly disappeared into the night.
Invisibility!
Then he unknowingly entered the camp of the Black Flag Army, found a place to store food, quickly put down the guards, and began to light a fire.
After a dozen breaths, the fireworks spread out in the sky, reflecting the entire camp, and many soldiers began to panic.
But Xu Ji calmed down the army's heart for the first time, and then commanded people to extinguish the fire and rescue the food with a cold face, but the effect was very small, because there was no water.
The water sources were all destroyed by Sun Li, and the only one that was restored was not much left after the supply was completely used by the army. Therefore, extinguishing the fire can only be buried with soil.
This burial was buried overnight, and when the morning dawned, the fire was extinguished, but the grain was almost burned out, and the rest was made into porridge, and there were no ten grains of rice in a bowl.
Xu Ji's face was very ugly, but his mind was still clear, and he knew what was the most important thing at the moment, and said to the herald on the side: "Yesterday, I have sent someone back to the camp to ask for the delivery of grain, and now the time is almost up." You go and tell the soldiers in the various camps that there is no need to panic, and they will not be allowed to go hungry to fight. β
"Yes!" the herald was overjoyed, and immediately went to give the order, but the next moment it was a ragged soldier who stumbled into the camp, and barely saw the word "grain" on the clothes he was wearing.
Xu Ji's heart skipped a slight beat, looking at the soldier, he suddenly had a bad premonition, and asked loudly: "Why did you come alone, what about the others, what about the food?"
"General, we have been ambushed, the people have been scattered, and the food has been robbed. The soldier cried.
Xu Ji's body shook slightly, the bad conjecture in his heart was implemented, and his whole face darkened.
At the same time, Sun Li was in the cave, analyzing the war situation, looking at Wu Fugui, Huluwa, and Nie Xiaoqian: "The situation is very clear now, the other party has no food, and the war can't go on."
At this time, according to the character of the other commander, there are only two ways to go. The first one, the defensive commander, will withdraw his troops, wait until they are repaired, and then come back.
The second type, the offensive commander, will fight hard, press all the troops, and try to see if he can conquer our place in one go. If you capture it, the war will be over, and you don't have to worry about whether there is food or not, you have to go back to the camp anyway. If you can't attack and get frustrated, then you have to choose the same as a defensive commander. β
"What type is that out there?" Nie Xiaoqian's eyes flashed and she asked.
Sun Li shook his head slightly, "I don't know ...... this."
As soon as the words fell, I heard the shouts of a tsunami outside, and then the ground began to tremble slightly. The 30,000 Black Flag Army, under the command of Xu Ji, launched a tidal wave of attacks hungry, fierce as a tiger and crazy as a wolf.
"Oh. Sun Li paused slightly, exhaled, and his eyes were slightly solemn, "Okay, it should be clear now, the outside is offensive." β
"Then what should we do?" Wu Fugui was a little flustered.
"What else can I do, go up to the top. If you resist it, you win, and if you can't stand it, you lose, it's that simple. Sun Lidao, then stood up and strode out of the cave.
The final war began!
