"What's going on out there now. King Ning asked.

"All the basic monks of the city who can be detected have withdrawn. The head of the palace replied seriously, and then added: "Some cities have even taken away those who have spiritual roots and have not yet started cultivating. ”

King Ning sat on the chair expressionlessly, his fingers kept rising and falling and tapping on the table in front of him, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Should we go?"

The head of the guard seemed to have expected King Ning to ask this question, but he didn't have any good ideas, so he could only lower his head: "My subordinates don't know." ”

"I don't know...... King Ning seemed to sigh slightly, after all, he didn't get angry like in the past, but kept muttering: "How can I not know, how can I not know......"

At the beginning of hiding in Chongwen City, King Ning was able to maintain a certain amount of calmness, but as time passed, many of his expressions began to become a little nervous. People who have followed King Ning for many years have faintly noticed that Ning Shicong no longer seems to be the King Ning of the past, he has no temper, no ambition, and even no more vigilance. Now the shape of the south can be said to be clear at a glance, but King Ning can't even make the most basic decisions.

The chief guard hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say, "Lord Wang, maybe...... Maybe we should go to Phoenix and meet them. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the chief guard keenly caught a trace of fierceness flashing in King Ning's eyes, just like before, he was just about to secretly blame himself for talking too much, but he saw that the fierce light in King Ning's eyes was only fleeting, and then he asked very casually: "Why do you want to go to the convergence, you can talk about it." ”

The chief of the guard gave himself a strong courage, and said seriously: "Judging from the battle report, this time the Shu army is divided into three ways to go south, although my Chongwen City is located in the middle of nowhere, but the monks in other cities have been empty, those Shu troops will find us here sooner or later, and ...... then."

"We're going to be bloodbathed then?" asked King Ning with a smile.

"The subordinates don't dare. The chief guard hurriedly bowed his body.

King Ning waved his hand casually and said, "Phoenix City can't go, tell everyone to stay in Chongwen City with peace of mind." ”

"But......" The head guard looked up in embarrassment.

King Ning finally showed an impatient look, and said in a deep voice: "There is nothing to do, sue our people to stay in peace, and sue their messenger for the decision of this king." ”

The chief of the guard still hesitated, but in the end he could only retreat.

King Ning stood under the moonlight like a lone wolf, and muttered stubbornly, "I, Ning Shicong, will never allow them to see my wolf bèi." ”

It was night, and there was a mourning in Chongwen City.

In Phoenix City, Li Mingyang took a battle report handed over by Guo Yunshan, and immediately raised his eyebrows after reading it: "Ning Shicong doesn't plan to come?"

Guo Yunshan smiled and replied.

"What does he think?" Li Mingyang looked at Guo Yunshan, with a faint smile on his face: "Isn't this just looking for death." ”

"That's it for dying to save face, he would rather die than save face. Guo Yunshan commented very calmly.

"Face is worth a few dollars. Li Mingyang looked disdainful, but in the end he couldn't bear it: "It's just a pity that the 30,000 monks who followed King Ning's side, presumably those people can't all die to save face." ”

Guo Yunshan still frowned, noncommittal.

"Well, if he likes to fend for himself, let him go. After a little silence, Li Ming's eyebrows furrowed even deeper: "It's just those Shu soldiers...... It's so hard. ”

Phoenix has never been more lively, or so glorious. Black Phoenix looked at the overcrowded Phoenix City, and his thoughts were complicated for a while.

In just one day, there were fifty or sixty thousand monks gathered in Phoenix City, and the monks in the surrounding monk cities were basically all teleported from the Guò teleportation circle for the first time, and for them, this teleportation cost was all within the range of deliberate bearing. It's just that although Phoenix's strength has skyrocketed now, thinking that the current protagonist is not himself, Dark Phoenix is a hundred disappointed in his heart. I have been strong all my life, but I don't have a chance when I want to be strong the most.

It's just that when I think of the monsters in the Phoenix Hall, it is difficult for the Black Phoenix to raise the slightest battle intent. The difficulty of Ram Wen, the weirdness of Li Mingyang, and the resourcefulness of Guo Yunshan, it is really hard to imagine how their group of people came together.

Just when the black phoenix was in a daze, he suddenly saw the pair of swordsman brothers walking out.

"Phoenix City Lord, this is the strategy formulated by Li Meng's Lord, you can take a look. Yan Kuo handed over a jade slip and then turned around and walked away, continuing to look for the next person who was qualified to pick up the jade slip.

The pair of swordsman brothers Dark Phoenix is also taboo, although they did not fight, but the two always give her a very dangerous feeling when they walk together, although the brothers always laugh on weekdays.

After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly found that it seemed that Li Mingyang and the others liked to laugh on weekdays, if they hadn't fought with them, they really couldn't imagine what they looked like when they fought.

"It's all a bunch of freaks. Looking at the Yan brothers who were walking away, the black phoenix couldn't help but sigh.

However, when she saw the news in the jade slip, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Dig a trench?" When the Cactus Sect who had already arrived in Phoenix City saw the news in the jade slip, they were all stunned in place like the black phoenix.

"Master Li, this ...... This ......"

"What is this? ”

"Hey, I can't say if it's a strategy or a whimsical idea, what's the use of digging trenches in the battle of the monks. ”

As the jade slips were distributed one by one, the doubts were immediately fed back.

Guo Yunshan also looked at Li Mingyang curiously: "Mingyang, isn't this method a little too useless." ”

The reason why the monks in Phoenix City did not riot after knowing the news in Yujianli was because they all thought that this was from Guo Yunshan, who now seemed to have become the first military division in the south, but people didn't know that this was really the idea of Li Mengzhu.

Li Mingyang did not hesitate at all, but said with a firm face: "This battle must be fought like this, only in this way can it be possible to win." ”

Seeing Li Mingyang's repeated insistence, Guo Yunshan continued to study the content of the jade slip.

Li Mingyang came up with a very strange idea, to dig a trench around Phoenix City that was 100 zhang deep and 3,000 zhang wide. It's not so much a trench as Li Mingyang trying to dig a canal. It's just that this trench is dug around Phoenix, so it gives people the feeling that Li Mingyang wants to dig a moat.

This is a rather comical idea, although the monks of the Central Plains let the southern monks know that the war of the monks can also be fought in the way of war, but the battle of the monks is a war of monks after all, not a battle of the world, and things like moats are not much hindrance even for low-level monks.

However, Guo Yunshan knew that Li Mingyang was not going to dig a moat, but to dig a large and amazing trench. Thinking of Li Mingyang's attainments in formation, Guo Yunshan originally thought that Li Mingyang was planning to rely on the terrain to arrange a super large array, but with his formation attainments, he found that this idea was basically impossible, and it was just an ordinary trench when he looked left and right...... Well, of course, it's just a big, big ordinary trench......

"What are you going to do?" Guo Yunshan finally didn't want to guess anymore, and asked directly.

Li Mingyang didn't sell Guanzi either, pointed to the outside of the city and said: "Actually, what I want to dig is not a trench, but a battlefield." ”

"Battlefield?" Guo Yunshan's eyes narrowed, and he felt as if he realized something.

"Brother Yan said that not all the strong people in the Central Plains are there, we have all seen it, there are also martial artists in the Central Plains monks' team, there are also minor monks in the second and third levels of the Phantom Spirit Realm, and there are also guys who can't even use flying swords......"

Watching Li Mingyang talk eloquently, Guo Yunshan listened calmly and did not interrupt. Gradually, he finally understood what Li Mingyang meant.

Li Mingyang's idea was completely based on the real situation of the monks in the Central Plains. The so-called elite master of the Central Plains, the Shu Army, is only a group of low-level monks in the final analysis, and the cultivation of ordinary monks who go out into battle is absolutely impossible to exceed the fifth level of the Phantom Spirit Realm, which is doomed to one point - they cannot use flying swords freely.

Not to mention martial artists, even martial artists in the Clear Spirit Realm are also unable to fly with their swords. And although ordinary monks can cultivate sword techniques in the Illusion Realm Triple Realm, they are actually quite a long way away from the flight of the imperial sword. The reason why the Central Plains monks are stronger than the southern monks is because of the cooperation between their ranks, and the Central Plains monks are only strong in the battle formation, not in their personal strength.

And in order to best complete the battle formation coordination, it is impossible for a low-level monk to fly and attack in the air. For the low-level cultivators of the third and fourth levels of the Phantom Spirit Realm, even if a few people with good talent were able to fly with the sword, once they lifted off, all their minds could only be placed on controlling the flying sword, and it would only be delusional to complete the complex battle formation cooperation.

Therefore, the Shu army must be a land battle, which is the only combat method that low-level monks can use, after all, even if it is to take care of the large number of warriors in the team, they will not be able to rise into the air to fight.

Since the Shu army can only fight on land, then digging a trench around Phoenix City that is 100 zhang deep and 3,000 zhang wide, it is impossible for them to fly over directly, as long as they dare to rise into the air, they can only become the target of the masters in the south. Even if they have a teleportation magic weapon, but the teleportation magic weapon that can fit hundreds of people at a time is already considered the best, and if they want to hold tens of thousands of people, there is absolutely no such treasure.

In this way, probably after the Shu army came here, they either stopped fighting and collected their troops, or they directly bypassed Phoenix City, or they needed to enter the trench and advance to Phoenix City.

The height of a hundred zhang was not too high, but it was impossible for a low-ranking monk to jump so high directly, so once they entered the trench, it was impossible for them to exit halfway. As long as they don't retreat, it will be the moment of decisive battle between the two sides.

Guo Yunshan was greatly amazed after hearing Li Mingyang's idea, but after thinking about it, he still asked quite worriedly: "It's just that the Central Plains monks in the trench can't get out, and our people can't get out either?"
