Chapter 137: Tricks

The enemy retreated, but a faint smell of blood permeated the city of Red Eagle.

On the high and thick city wall, Li Yuan, Chu Junyan, and Chu Qingyan stood on it, looking into the distance, their faces were extremely solemn.

Within the Ling Alliance's army, they had already sensed no less than thirty Heavenly Martial Realms, and if they attacked with all their might, Red Eagle City would be difficult to resist.

But there is one thing to be happy about, in today's first battle, they won, the momentum of the Chu League's army has soared, and Fang Shiyuan has successfully broken through the Tianwu Realm, and Li Yuan has another high-end combat power.

Back in the city, the generals have already counted today's casualties, this time in the siege battle, the casualties on the Chu League's side are nearly 20,000, and the casualties of the Ling League are about 50,000 or 60,000.

"Guys, how are we going to face Ling Meng's attack next?"

On the main seat, Li Yuan's eyes surveyed everyone with a serious expression, and below him were some important generals and strategists.

Today's World War knows to everyone that this is just a temptation.

The reason why Ling Meng didn't dare to attack now was nothing more than that he was afraid that Chu Meng would have some other hidden means.

After all, one in the Chu League is from the royal family, and the other is from the Zhenguo Mansion.

Before, the Ximen family was afraid of Chu Junyan.

If you want to prevent the enemy from attacking, you must first change the enemy's thinking.

"Your Highness, eldest lady, second miss, subordinates think that Ling Meng's next step is likely to go around to Red Eagle City, and then attack Xingcheng and Yuancheng, so as to encircle Red Eagle City."

A scribe in Tsing Yi was the first to speak, this person's name is Song Heng, a strategist under Chu Junyan, and his wisdom is quite extraordinary.

Jia Xu, Liang Wenyu, Wu Yong and others nodded when they heard this, the Chu League has few soldiers, and most of the main forces are in Red Eagle City, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, take Xingcheng and Yuancheng first, and then you can seal all roads in Red Eagle City, even if Red Eagle City has any hidden means, it will be useless.

Chu Qingyan's subordinate Jiang Tiantian said:

"So we want to reinforce the two cities now, but if our Red Eagle City has few troops, they deliberately let us disperse our forces to reinforce the two cities, and then turn to attack Red Eagle City?"

This idea was nodded in agreement by many generals.

However, Song Heng showed a meaningful smile:

"I mean, can we send troops to ambush the enemy forces that attack Xingcheng and Yuancheng on a bypass, and flank the defenders of the two cities before and after!"

"My Chu League has a powerful cavalry army of Silver Radiance Moon Cavalry, if I stay in the city and defend the city all the time, is it too wasteful."

When Song Heng said that Yinhui Yue was riding, everyone looked at Chu Junyan, who was indifferent.

Yinhui Moon Cavalry, the famous cavalry of the Yu Dynasty, the number is only eight thousand, the strongest cavalry under the command of Chu Junyan, commanded by Chu Junyan.

Chu Junyan looked at Song Heng and said in a calm tone:

"You go on."

After Song Heng received Chu Junyan's affirmation, he continued:

"I had a bold idea."

"We are now in Red Eagle City, a total of 40,000 cavalry, of which there are 15,000 cavalry under the command of King Chu, 10,000 cavalry under the command of the second lady, and a total of 15,000 cavalry under the command of the eldest lady.

Why don't we send all these cavalry out of the city and hide them within the boundaries of our three cities.

First, it was to use the mobility of cavalry to ambush the enemy troops heading for Xingcheng and Zhongyuancheng.

Second, it is also to deter the enemy forces of the Ling Alliance and prevent them from acting rashly.

Third, once the three cities encounter a crisis, they can also quickly support or harass the rear of the enemy army. ”

Hearing Song Heng's words, Wu frowned and said:

"If the cavalry is hidden outside the city, what should we do if the Ling Alliance counters the encirclement and suppression of these cavalry, is it too dangerous?"

Song Heng said confidently: "If Ling Meng dares to come to encircle and suppress the cavalry, wouldn't it be just right, the boundary between the three cities is our territory, our reinforcements are faster than them, the initiative is in our hands, and we will be more confident in destroying the enemy army at that time." ”

Li Yuan and Jia Xu glanced at each other and nodded slightly, which was a good idea.

Now they can only defend passively, and it may take a long time to find the flaws of the Ling Alliance, and the cavalry may be able to become a breakthrough.

Consume the enemy's strength little by little, if you can use this to seduce the powerhouses of the Ling Alliance Heavenly Martial Realm, it would be better to deal with them.

The boundaries of the three cities are vast, and the mountains and forests are dense enough to hide the traces of cavalry.

Chu Junyan looked at Li Yuan and asked, "King Chu, what do you think?" ”

Li Yuan's expression was very hesitant, and he said a little distressed:

"Let the cavalry hide outside the city, although the advantage is great, but the disadvantage is obvious, now the enemy is outnumbered, if the cavalry we sent out is ambushed by the Ling League, it will be a major loss for our Chu League."

Chu Qingyan seemed to have known that Li Yuan would say this, his eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile:

"If His Royal Highness the King of Chu is afraid of the loss of cavalry, your cavalry does not need to go out of the city, and it is okay to stay in the Red Eagle Town to guard, so let me go out with my sister's cavalry."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he wanted to agree, but at this time, Jia Xu's cough sounded.

"Ahem!"

Well?

Li Yuan's tone was stunned, and when he turned his head and saw Jia Xu nodding slightly, he immediately understood what Jia Xu meant, his expression was puzzled, his brows were tightened, he met everyone's eyes, and finally sighed:

"Okay, this king agrees to send all the cavalry, but the goal of 40,000 cavalry is too big, we are divided into three cavalry armies, and we will help each other at the boundary of the three cities, and each cavalry army needs to send at least one Tianwu Realm powerhouse to hide."

Li Yuan's gaze swept over Chu Junyan and Chu Qingyan, and he knew that these two people must also be hiding the powerhouses of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Chu Qingyan's smile remained unchanged when he saw Li Yuan's agreement.

"It's nature!"

……………………

Li Yuan took Jia Xu, Yuwen Chengdu, and Zhong Liyi back to his house to continue to discuss the candidates to be sent.

Back at home, Li Yuan smiled and introduced to everyone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time we have two more colleagues: Ma Chao and Xu Chu!"

I saw two figures walking out of the back hall.

A face like a crown of jade, a tiger body with ape arms, and eyes like meteors.

One is more than eight feet long, with a waist of ten girths, and a majestic appearance.

"Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi has seen all of you!"

"Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang has met your colleagues."

"Jia Xu!"

"Yuwen Chengdu!"

"Zhong Liyi!"

After the five of them met, their eyes were all looking at each other.

"Master Jia, long time no see!"

Xu Chu saw Jia Xu and showed a sense of closeness.

Jia Xu smiled and nodded, "Zhongkang, long time no see." ”

When Ma Chao saw Jia Xu, his eyes flashed, and he turned his head to look at Zhong Liyi and hugged his fists:

"General Zhong Liyi, I have admired the name for a long time!"

Zhong Liyi saw that Ma Chao was extraordinary, heroic and majestic, and also responded kindly.

When Xu Chu and Ma Chao finished greeting Jia Xu and Zhong Liyi, their eyes looked at Yuwen Chengdu behind Li Yuan, and their eyes were full of solemnity.

They all sensed what a terrifying power this man had, and he was undoubtedly the strongest of them all.

Therefore, their faces were solemn.

Yuwen Chengdu also smiled kindly at them.

Jia Xu looked at Ma Chao and said with a kind smile:

"The famous General Kamui is finally fortunate to be a colleague today."

Seeing that Jia Xu took the initiative to express his closeness to himself, Ma Chao sighed in his heart, and showed a trace of respect on his face:

"Master Jia's talent is unparalleled, Meng Qi admires!"

After a friendly exchange of views, everyone sat down in their seats, their faces became solemn, and they waited for Li Yuan above to speak.

"Today, Chu Junyan and Chu Qingyan's plan to send cavalry out of the city, what do you think?"

Zhong Liyi said: "Your Highness, they are right, it is very likely that Ling Meng will go around the army to attack Xingcheng, and if they want reinforcements, it is the best choice to send cavalry to reinforce them, and it is not useful for cavalry to stay in the city." ”

Li Yuan nodded in agreement, and then looked at Jia Xu, who shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile:

"Your Highness, we once suspected that the Wang family had taken refuge in Chu Junyan, but now the minister believes it again."

"Oh~!"

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"Although Chu Junyan told all kinds of reasons, she still couldn't hide the confidence in her heart, indicating that she was very sure that the cavalry sent out of the city would be fine."

At this time, what is the most important thing for the cavalry to wander in the territory of the three cities?

It's intelligence!

Li Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, met Jia Xu's gaze, and said quietly: "So they are also testing this king!" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Powerful alliances can often collapse from within!" ”

"You're saying that we can fake this news to Ling Meng and make them suspicious of each other!"

"The facts will prove the truth of the rumors!"

……………………

Zhenxin City, after the Ling Alliance's army retreated, the high-level leaders of the four major forces gathered together to discuss a single move.

Jiang Kun had a hint of a smile, because Cheng Haonan, the young hall master of the Zhongyi Hall, had successfully broken through the Heavenly Martial Realm, and was now consolidating his cultivation in the secret room.

Ximen Lintian sighed and said: "Today's battle before the battle, our Ximen family has lost face, but I didn't expect Ao Lie to be defeated in the hands of Xing Daorong." ”

"Xing Daorong is the number one fierce general under Chu Qingyan, sooner or later he will be killed!"

An elder of the Burning Flame Sect said with hatred, because Yang Changkong, the holy son of the Burning Flame Sect who he was very optimistic about, died in the hands of Xing Daorong.

"What's next?"

"Whether or not to continue to attack the city, today at the head of the city, the aura of the Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouse in the Chu League is only a dozen or so, this time we can send the Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouse to attack with the army!"

A banner owner surnamed Qian in Zhongyi Hall was full of anger, with a big waist and a round waist, waving a strong arm and saying arrogantly:

"That's right, we have forty Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouses here, and if we attack together, we will definitely be able to destroy them in one fell swoop, so why waste time with a black void brain."

His words were unanimously agreed by everyone in the Zhongyi Hall, in one sentence:

That's it!

Hearing the words of the Qian Banner Master of the Zhongyi Hall, many people frowned.

But then a big war is starting out.

"It's certain that there are fewer powerhouses in the Chu League Heavenly Martial Realm than us, but we have to find out another point now, how many Chu League Venerables are there, are there only two, and what is the strength?"

Everyone's eyes looked at Ximen Lintian and Liu Qingquan.

Because they have all fought with the Venerables on both sides.

"The Venerable behind Chu Junyan is in the late stage of the Dharma Venerable Realm!"

Ximen Lintian's eyes showed a solemnity, the Venerable of their Ximen Family in the middle of the Dharma Venerable Realm was injured by him, if it wasn't for the late stage of the Dharma Venerable Realm in the Zhongyi Hall, the ancestor of the Ximen Family might be gone.

Liu Qingquan's pale face continued to cough:

"The Venerable behind the King of Chu is also in the late stage of the Fazun Realm, I was defeated by him in one move, if I didn't run fast, I'm afraid I would have confessed there!"

Wang Xin said in a deep voice: "If there are only two Venerables in the late stage of the Dharma Venerable Realm, we can still solve it. ”

"But I'm afraid they still have a Venerable Hidden One!"

That's what they're worried about, now each of their forces has a Venerable, the Venerable of the Zhongyi Hall is in the late stage of the Fazun Realm, the Venerable of the Ximen Family is in the middle of the Fazun Realm, the Wang family is in the middle of the Fazun Realm, and Liu Qingquan of the Lieyan Sect is also in the middle of the Fazun Realm.

Among them, the ancestor of the Ximen family and Liu Qingquan were both injured a little, and it took a little time to recuperate before they could recover their full combat strength.

Only three Venerables in the middle stage of the Dharma Venerable Realm can deal with the Venerables in the late stage of the Dharma Venerable Realm.

If there is one less, the two Venerables in the middle stage of the Dharma Venerable Realm are not opponents in the late stage of the Dharma Venerable Realm at all, and if the Venerable in the late stage of the Dharma Venerable Realm attacks one of them with all their might, it will lead to the death of the Venerable in the middle of the Dharma Venerable Realm.

This is even more serious than the death of ten Heavenly Martial Realm peak powerhouses, and they can't afford to lose at all.

If the two late Venerable Venerables of the Chu League made a move to stop the four Venerables of the Ling League, then there would be one more of the Chu League, so what about the Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouses who were besieging the city?

The Dharma Venerable Realm and the Heavenly Martial Realm are not the same realm at all, even a Venerable who has just entered the early stage of the Fa Venerable Realm can solve a strong person at the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm with one palm.

The powerhouses of the Tianwu Realm are the core pillars of their strength, and the loss of a lot of the Tianwu Realm has made them heartbroken because of carelessness before, and now that the troubled times have come, every Tianwu Realm powerhouse is a precious resource, and they need to be very cautious.

At this time, Ximen Aolong's eyes stood up and said to everyone:

"It's better to do this, we will continue to send half of our troops to attack the city and suppress the army of Red Eagle City in the city, and we will send the other half of our troops to bypass Red Eagle City and attack Xingcheng and Yuancheng!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhiyao's eyes flashed, and he agreed:

"Young Master Ximen has a point, we have two Venerables in the Ling Alliance who need to take time to recuperate, since we don't want to start a big war for the time being, we can just use this time period to attack the other two cities, Xingcheng and Yuancheng are not strong enough, we can take it!"

An elder of the Flame Sect also agreed: "That's right, once Xingcheng and Yuancheng are taken by us, then in the rear of Dongrong County and Huirong County, we can send troops to drive straight in and cut off all their back roads, and then Red Eagle City will be surrounded by us, even if Red Eagle City still has any hole cards, we can deal with it calmly!" ”

"But what if they guess that we are going to make a detour to attack Xingcheng and Yuancheng, in case we set up an ambush on the way?"

There are also people who frown, saying that they do not agree with this strategy.

"It would have been better if Red Eagle City had sent troops, they are now in Red Eagle City as a turtle shell, difficult to break, isn't it a good opportunity for us to eliminate them when they come out.

We have many times more troops than them, so what can we do if we let them ambush, we can afford to lose 100,000 troops, even if they only lose 50,000 troops, will they dare to fight us? ”

But more often than not, they agreed with Ximen Aolong's strategy.

"We can attack one city first, and then attack the next city after we take it."
