Chapter 224: There is no way back
In Guo Yunshan's view, many of Li Mingyang's ideas may still be a little immature, but this time the choice to come out of the trench battlefield earlier is indeed very targeted, proving that Li Mingyang really made this decision after the most detailed analysis of the Shu army, and not impulsively.
It's just that thinking of the restrictions in the trench battlefield, Guo Yunshan is really worried. There is too much difference in the battle formation between the southern monks and the Central Plains monks, even if it is now destined that the monks gathered in Phoenix City in a few days will be several times or even more than ten times that of the 40,000 Shu army, but if they can't fight, they can't be defeated, and once the war starts, there will definitely be a tendency to rout.
Thinking of this, Guo Yunshan subconsciously said according to his own train of thought: "We can also leave many dark passages when digging trenches, once there is a defeat, our people can escape, at least not the whole army will not be wiped out." ”
Guo Yunshan's construction is not unreasonable, this time after all, the monks of the entire south will gather, if they are really all wiped out here, the entire south will really be finished.
Looking at Guo Yunshan's worried expression, Li Mingyang said very calmly: "What I want is that everyone can't escape." ”
Looking at the incomprehension in Guo Yunshan's eyes, Li Mingyang explained: "We all know that once the war starts, the Shu army will definitely be able to fight a beautiful battle with less to win more with less with the exquisite battle formation cooperation, and even their low-level monks may exert the ability to defeat ten with one, the battlefield is not a gladiatorial arena after all, such a situation is not an exaggeration." ”
Seeing Guo Yunshan nodding, Li Mingyang continued: "I have been talking about it for a long time, the biggest gap between the south and the Central Plains is the gap between the battle formations, but in fact, we have all ignored one problem, that is, fighting spirit. Because of the huge gap in the coordination of the battle array, when the southern monks of the Southern Sect think of a large-scale battle with the Central Plains Monks, they will subconsciously think of failure, and it is a fiasco of defeat, if all the Southern Monks go to the battlefield with such thoughts, defeat may happen in an instant. ”
Guo Yunshan nodded, and had to admit that what Li Mingyang said was right.
War is not a monk duel, and there may not be a single gorgeous spell in a large-scale war, and it may not even be as exciting as the previous duel between them and the Dark Phoenix, but on the battlefield, there are many, many more things to pay attention to than monk duels. The most important thing is morale, what the southern monks lack most now is morale, and the reason why Li Mingyang was elected as the leader of the alliance is also because only Li Mingyang has defeated the Central Plains monks before this.
However, Li Mingyang was right, once the war started, even if the southern monks were superior in numbers, if there were large-scale casualties, the morale that was already not high would be completely lost, and even if more than 100,000 monks were gathered here, it would be impossible to form an effective counterattack. Once the hundreds of thousands of monks began to rout, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Looking at Li Mingyang, who had a resolute face, Guo Yunshan was silent for a long time and finally said, "This time I just plan to work hard, right?"
Li Mingyang said without hesitation: "Yes, you have to work hard." ”
With Guo Yunshan's approval, Li Mingyang's vigorously promoted trench strategy began to be thoroughly implemented. In fact, every Southern monk was puzzled by this, and it seemed to them the most ridiculous thing. Many of the Immortal Sect masters also thought that they were doing useless work, but thinking that since Li Mingyang had been elected as the leader of the alliance, they all chose to believe in this magical young alliance leader.
There are still six days before the Shu army arrives, but there are more and more monks gathered in Phoenix, tens of thousands of monks are working day and night, even if this trench is 100 zhang deep and 3,000 zhang wide, the amount of work is amazing, but it still takes only five days to complete. When the trench was completely completed, everyone realized that Phoenix now looked like an isolated island.
Surrounded by a large and astonishing trench, it is not accurate to call it even a trench now, and some people have secretly changed its name to a very apt name - Phoenix Abyss.
The Phoenix Abyss seemed to completely isolate Phoenix City from this piece of heaven and earth, and on a huge isolated island city, nearly 100,000 monks looked at the abyss and sighed with emotion.
In the blink of an eye, the seventh day finally arrived.
When dawn came, everyone looked at the newborn sun with a look of hope, as if praying to an unknown god that the south would survive the catastrophe.
It's just that at this moment, many people have hidden worries on their faces, and more faces show resentment.
"As for the alliance leader, our alliance leader, after disappearing for so many days, it is time for him to show up now. A Immortal Sect Leader suddenly shouted.
As soon as these words came out, many of the Cactus Sects who were becoming more and more irritable also began to roar.
Six days ago, when Li Mingyang gave the order to dig a trench, he completely disappeared, leaving only a sentence to go out to run errands and disappeared. At first, people didn't think much about it, but now that the war is imminent, their alliance leader has not shown up for a long time, which has made many people start to be indignant, in their opinion, Li Mingyang shouted loudly before, and finally ran away directly when the war was about to fight, which was unacceptable to them.
Even some of the more neutral Cactus Sect Sects now have a little more worry and resentment in their eyes: "No, the leader of the Li Alliance really ran away." ”
"How is it possible, how can Li Mengzhu run?" In the crowd, He Chong shouted angrily again: "Li Mengzhu must have done something big!"
Some people looked at He Chong with disdain, and said with a sneer: "What does Li Mingyang have to do with you, you always speak for him like this, let's say, how many spirit stones did he give you?"
"You guys!" He Chong was so angry that he didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only point at those people with a blushing face.
A few masters couldn't help but look at the black phoenix, and asked: "Phoenix City Lord, the spies are coming to report, the Shu army will arrive in about another hour or two, and someone should have an idea of what we should do." ”
Dark Phoenix is not the leader of the alliance, but these people still habitually ask her, in fact, they also have some of their own careful thoughts, after all, they are very clear about the entanglement between Black Phoenix and Li Mingyang, at this time they think that Black Phoenix should like to be ordered in danger, after all, big heroes like to stand up in the most critical time.
It's just that under everyone's expectations, the black phoenix said very calmly: "Wait well, the leader of the Li League should come back." ”
Looking at the black phoenix's unpretentious expression, the monks who tried to provoke were all stunned. Many of the watchers around were also curious to look at the black phoenix, and the black phoenix, who had been fighting against Li Mingyang before, would say so at this time.
There was a dark phoenix to speak, although some people still complained, but they didn't dare to make any more mess.
Suddenly, many of the Void Spirit Realm cultivators all looked moved, but instead of looking across the trench, they all turned around.
Li Mingyang rushed back, and he was finally relieved to see that Phoenix City was not in chaos.
The dark phoenix was still the most outstanding in the crowd, and Li Mingyang led people over.
Seeing Li Mingyang's return, many of the masters who really had confidence in him were all overjoyed, and He Chong was even more excited and almost shouted out. However, everyone found that Li Mingyang came this time, and there were a few more people behind him. In addition to Guo Yunshan, the Yan family brothers, and the big man, there are also five hundred monks and a few strong men.
"It's good to catch up. Li Mingyang smiled faintly, but his face could not hide the tiredness.
The five hundred monks who followed behind him were all people who hurried from the Heavenly City, and there could not be a single monk left in the Heavenly City, and it was already Li Mingyang's limit to dispatch five hundred monks. In addition, Xu Xin, Zhang Chong, and Xiao Zhu'er also came.
Xiao Zhu'er's charm became the focus of everyone's attention, but in the end, they all looked at Ning Xin.
"The powerhouse of the Spiritual Realm. Seeing Xu Xin appear, everyone was extremely excited. After all, the powerhouse of the Real Spirit Realm is different from the Void Spirit Realm. Both are female cultivators of the True Spirit Realm, Black Phoenix and Ning Xin looked at each other for a short time, but they did not communicate in the slightest.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Li Mingyang somewhat guessed the minds of some people, but he didn't bother to deal with such a small problem, and directly pointed to this amazing trench and said, "Here, this is our battlefield." ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
The black phoenix looked at Li Mingyang in surprise, and she didn't understand why Li Mingyang said that.
Knowing that time was pressing, Li Mingyang didn't sell Guan Zi at all, and said directly: "This battlefield was dug up by your own hands, and now we have to wait here for the arrival of the enemy." If you go down to this battlefield, if you want to come up again, you can only win. In this battle, you will either win or die, and there is no way back. ”
Li Mingyang knew that he was not a qualified leader, so he did not bother to organize the language to say some beautiful pre-war mobilization, and the words were already very clear, they set up a battlefield here with no way out, to meet a potentially invincible enemy. There is only one way to survive, and that is to kill all the enemies, because once the enemies enter the battlefield, there will be no way back.
Almost everyone didn't expect Li Mingyang to plan to arrange it like this, and for a while, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all at a loss.
Just when everyone hesitated, Li Mingyang didn't say a word more, but directly led people to the battlefield slowly. However, this is not all Li Mingyang's belongings, and behind him, there is a very strange team.
What a team!
Five thousand true ghosts suddenly appeared, causing a panic in the world. It's just that when everyone was about to make a move, these five thousand true ghosts turned a blind eye to their hostility and threat, and they all slowly began to fall into the trench.
"This is ......" Someone hesitated to watch a large number of real ghosts pass by, but his mind was a little confused.
Soon, all the real ghosts also entered the battlefield and gathered behind Li Mingyang. From beginning to end, Li Mingyang did not look back once.
At this moment, when people still wanted to ask each other something, on the opposite side of the battlefield, figures flickered.
