Chapter 781: You Can't Kill or Not Kill
Chen Xi asked Fei Qing to command in front and completely gave up the chaos in front. Those demigods who are entangled with the enemy can only give up, this is not cruelty, if so, it is also a cruelty to protect more people. The moment he saw Chen Xi make such a decision, the smile on the corner of Xu Ji's mouth became even more obvious. Because he knew that he saw the unreleased Chen Xi in Chen Xi's heart.
"Archers, line up at the back of the line. ”
Chen Xi ran through the crowd holding a banner symbolizing the identity of the general: "Everyone has completed the encirclement on three sides, the front is the shield bearer, the back is the spearman, the archers are behind the spearmen, and the rest of the people retreat to the last and line up behind the archers!"
Originally, the battle situation was very chaotic, and Chen Xi's voice sounded in the noise and not many people heard it, but as the big flag shuttled back and forth among the crowd, there were more and more teams controlled by Chen Xi. The demigods, who were far more numerous than their enemies, began to become normalized, and although they didn't know what to do, blind obedience helped them a lot at this moment. And those low-level commanders who had already experienced in the battle of the secret realm played a decisive role.
The ranks began to integrate, forming three huge phalanxes, encircling the enemy's soldiers and the demigods who were fighting in chaos, encircling them on three sides, leaving one side for the other side to retreat.
On the Flying Dragon Chariot, a young man standing on Xu Ji's side who looked sickly white seemed to be a little puzzled, leaned over slightly and asked, "My lord, why doesn't this Chen Xi surround him on all sides?"
Xu Ji smiled: "Li Muzhou, I heard that last time when the case was investigated in Lingyun Palace, you asked people to close eight of the nine palace gates, leaving only one, why?"
"If you keep one, the other party can escape, and if you escape, you can be caught. ”
Li Muzhou leaned over and replied, with some flattery in his voice. You must know that he doesn't need to be so flattering in front of the head of the Mingwei Palace, although the position of the head of the inner chamberlain is not high, but his status is special. However, in front of Xu Ji, he seemed to know very well that he was a subordinate.
"It's pretty much the same. ”
Xu Ji didn't seem to hate this guy who was too feminine, and explained with a smile: "Surrounded on three sides, if you win, then you can force the other party to retreat." If it is surrounded on all sides, and the other party sees that there is no way to retreat, then it can only fight to the death, and if we fight to the death, the losses on our side will be much greater than theirs. And once the occupation is unfavorable, the three sides are encircled, and the three sides can be changed to support each other and retreat. The zigzag formation, whether offensive or defensive, is very good. ”
Li Muzhou was convinced: "My lord is really wise, this seems to be a simple battle situation, I can't imagine that there are so many ways." This demigod named Chen Xi is really not simple. ”
Xu Ji smiled and didn't speak again.
And on the battlefield below, Chen Xi has already integrated the team. Although the three huge squares in the shape of a zigzag were not particularly neat, they finally brought the situation under control. Chen Xi waved a big banner and gave orders, and Fei Qing, the general in charge of the attack, simply acted as his bodyguard, standing behind Chen Xi and shouting. At least the thousands of demigods in front of them who were entangled with the enemy army could not be withdrawn, and they were killed by the enemy army at a very fast speed.
"Archers stop the ghost-faced wyvern in the sky!"
Chen Xi shouted loudly, and the generals of the battalions behind him immediately shouted after him, and all the archers shot indiscriminately into the sky, and under the dense feather arrows, those ghost-faced flying dragons did not dare to pounce down easily.
"The shield-bearer goes forward, throws the spear with the spear, the first three rows!"
With a single order, tens of thousands of spears rained down into the enemy camp. Including the demigods who were mixed with the enemy army, they all suffered a covering blow, and the enemy army did not expect the demigods' side to suddenly stabilize, nor did they expect that the army of the god domain would give up even their comrades. After a rain of gunfire, the black-clad enemy soldiers fell.
Chen Xi pointed the Heavenly Killing Sword forward: "Press forward, don't mess up the formation, the shield hand goes forward, the idea is to keep the speed, don't break away from the formation!"
The continuous loud roar made Chen Xi's voice hoarse. However, the soldiers are getting better and better, and after finding that it is more efficient to kill the enemy in this way, they have become more cooperative. Three huge phalanxes began to activate at the same time, pressing towards the enemy's side. The Black Armor Army was not numerically superior, but now the Divine Domain Army was no longer as chaotic as before, so their advantage gradually disappeared.
With the sound of a whining horn, the Blackarmor army began to retreat in an orderly manner. So far, there are at least 100,000 troops on the battlefield on the side of the God Domain, while the Black Armor Army is no more than 10,000 people. But before Chen Xi took control of the situation, at least more than 10,000 demigods had been killed by the opponent's meat grinder-like formation. When the black-armored army retreated, it still maintained its rhythm and formation, not in a hurry or slow, the rear army withdrew first, and after withdrawing a certain distance, an arrow array was arranged to block the Divine Domain army. In this way, the distance between them and the Divine Domain army was gradually narrowed.
Chen Xi didn't dare to let the army force up, although it seemed that there was a flat river here, but no one knew what danger there would be. In the unlikely event that the enemy even retreats are arranged, then the pursuit is very likely to be encircled
"It's almost 10 to 1 casualties. ”
Fei Qing rubbed his temples and looked annoyed: "Now the demigods in the army still think that this is a new secret realm, so their enthusiasm has not subsided, even if the damage is greater, but they feel that it is exciting and novel, and the team behind has not seen the bloody and tragic battlefield, and the impact is not very big." But if you continue to fight like this, your morale will be worn out sooner or later. ”
Xu Ji obviously had an explanation to Fei Qing, and he knew that Chen Xi was very clear about the war, so he had no scruples when he spoke. He looked at Chen Xi: "You have to think of a way to win a game as soon as possible." ”
Chen Xi shook his head: "We don't know anything about the enemy, I can't win." ”
Fei Qing was stunned for a moment, and then immediately became depressed: "What can I do, our Ruizi Battalion has the best performance in the secret realm, so the task of the vanguard army this time falls on our Ruizi Battalion." More than 10,000 people in our battalion have all been appointed as low-level commanders, each of whom is in charge of ten people, and the team has expanded to at least 150,000 people, and the losses in this battle are more than 15,000. ”
At this time, he stood on a temporary high platform and looked at the castle that was faintly visible in the distance: "The enemy army has retreated, and the retreat is orderly, and even the retreat carries a trace of contempt for us. ”
Chen Xi sat there in a daze, and after being silent for a while, he said: "This is an unknown world, at least the general and I are completely unfamiliar with this place. Maybe the big people in the Divine Domain know something about this, but obviously they don't want to tell us about it. There is a saying that knowing oneself and knowing the other side can survive a hundred battles, and what is the difference between us and the blind man now? The time, the place, and the people are not on our side. ”
At this moment, Xu Ji slowly stepped onto the high platform: "Don't be so pessimistic, the other party is not as strong as you think." ”
Seeing Xu Ji coming up, Fei Qing hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "Meet the big handsome." ”
"Handsome?"
Chen Xi was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly. Xu Ji's status was so high that it was obviously beyond Chen Xi's expectations again. The word Da Shuai is enough to explain everything, the Lord of the Divine Domain actually gave full authority to Xu Ji for the command of this war, this kind of trust, looking at the past so many years of existence in the Divine Domain, has never appeared.
"I've sent someone to investigate. ”
Xu Ji stood on the high platform, holding on to the railing and looking at the castle opposite: "That's a lonely city, it's an outpost." The spies had already looked around, and there were no other castles within a radius of several thousand miles, so our first advantage was that enemy reinforcements would not arrive anytime soon. Our second advantage is that we are far more powerful than our opponents. As for our third advantage, the enemy thinks that we are not strong. ”
Chen Xi didn't speak, looking down at his hands.
Xu Ji said: "The Ruizi battalion has been changed to the vanguard army, Fei Qing is the general of the vanguard army, with 150,000 troops under his command, and he lost 15,000 before, I will make up for you." The enemy's strength will not exceed 20,000 men, and the enemy army that has killed the castle before is already more than half of the troops. I'll give you vanguard five days to take down that castle, and you can do whatever you need, and I won't be stingy as long as I have it. ”
"I can't beat it in five days. ”
Chen Xi asked.
Xu Ji said in a flat tone: "I don't need waste, it's as simple as that." ”
Chen Xi fell silent again, and after a long while, he said, "Give me three days to prepare, and then start counting." From today, until the ninth day, if we haven't beaten down yet"
Xu Ji took it and said: "Okay, I'll give you three days to prepare, and if it doesn't come down on the ninth day, the vanguard army of 150,000 people will all be turned into coolie death row prisoners." ”
After saying this, Xu Ji looked at Chen Xi: "Then you tell me, what do you want to prepare?"
"Weapons, I know that there are many tall towers in the Black Gold Mountain excavation camp, and there are many crossbow-like weapons on the towers, so I need this, the more the better. ”
Xu Ji nodded: "I'll transfer five hundred planes to you, no more." ”
Chen Xi continued: "The enemy army is light and heavy infantry to cooperate in the battle, especially the opponent's heavy armor, when pressed over, it is like a mountain pressing down, and our team can't stop it at all. I need a lot of heavy knives, and the weapons I have now are too light to break through the enemy's armor. I also need thirty four-winged servants to come and cooperate, and I need to set up the rune circle. ”
Xu Ji nodded again: "It's all for you." ”
Chen Xi said: "I want a hundred rhinoceros beast carts to transport personnel in the Black Gold Mountain. ”
"Yes, but the environment here is different, and the rhinoceros beast cart can't pass through space. ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
Chen Xi stood up and looked at Xu Ji: "The most important thing is one thing, didn't you say that you need to create a group of dazzling military talents to become the target of all demigods." I can't wait for your plan to give me an identity so that I can command the army in the name of it. ”
This time, Xu Ji didn't answer immediately, and after pondering for a while, he said: "The vanguard military is a general, and he will not object to your words, so I can't give you the identity for the time being." But I promise you that your orders will be carried out thoroughly. Let Fei Qing give you the position of leader of the warlord, so that you can put pressure on the disobedient demigods. ”
Fei Qing bowed his head: "Humble obedience." ”
Chen Xi didn't seem disappointed, and after glancing at Xu Ji meaningfully, he said: "The next condition is about me personally, if I take that castle, will you kill Baili slave?"
Xu Ji turned around and left: "Kill!"
