Chapter 228: Preparing for War
The two monks were originally to check if there were any survivors in the slaughtered village of Sunset Ruins, but they bumped into the scouts of the Evil God Realm, and the two of them were bold and wanted to lead them into the trap left by the Xinyi Sect, but the scouts were alert and did not catch up.
The older monk didn't listen to the advice of his junior brother, he would really go, and the two of them couldn't get out of it at all. The opponent's archery skills are also good, and the war horse seems to be mixed with demon beasts. If it weren't for the complex terrain and snow everywhere, they might not have been able to escape.
In the early hours of the morning, Su Jing had a bunch of more information on hand. The Xinyi Sect still suffered a new loss, and more than a dozen disciples failed to come back after encountering the other party's scouts. With the help of familiarity with the terrain, most of the monks safely returned to the Buddha Gate Battle Tower, which has a name, called the Eighteen Floating Slaughter.
Ten floors above ground and eight floors underground, purely for war purposes. The following monks, who began to analyze the intelligence, were all using the functions of the war tower, these monks no longer had the experience of marching and fighting, and completely relied on the knowledge of books to drive the tower.
At the top of the Buddha Gate Battle Tower, the Void Buddha Eye slowly rotated, monitoring everything around him in all directions, even the arrangement in the mouth of the gourd was under its surveillance.
This Buddha's eye is most concerned about the rear of the gourd mouth, if the enemy has a strange soldier approaching from behind, it is the most dangerous for the Su family's army.
Su Jing didn't rest, around the table, only two young elders were left behind by those monks, and the rest of the elders had no interest or experience in marching formations, so they could only be regarded as high-end combat power.
Su Mu looked at the information one by one and found that the information collected by the Buddhism was really detailed. Su Jing was also watching, asking Su Mu to summarize, and then he corrected it.
Before Su Jing crossed, he knew a lot about military affairs. Interest is also focused on this aspect. After crossing, he learned a lot of classics from Lin Hengshan. The learning of Qi Refiners is to directly memorize the content and ponder it repeatedly, and there is no problem of not being able to remember.
For Su Jing, he now has at least the ability to command five thousand people to fight. Su Mu can't do it. Her interest was mainly focused on cultivation, and Su Jing gave her guidance one by one, which was also helpless.
Su Mu said: "According to the new intelligence, the enemy's strength should be more than 800,000, and it may even reach 2 million, but the elite troops are still about 500,000." So many people have been killed from the kingdom of evil gods. Along the way, it would be good to have three achievements left, and when you set off, there might be seven or eight million people. ”
Su Jing shook his head and said, "Impossible, the Evil God Kingdom is different from the Empire, it is composed of many countries. There are empires, principalities. their dukes. It is also possible to build a state on your own. Even if they had a larger population than us, they would not reach 10 billion. It is distributed to hundreds of countries, and small countries may only be a few million people. Conquer the country?"
"What's wrong with that?"
"The problem of loss you are talking about may only be less than one percent. From the Evil God Realm to the Empire, the tens of thousands of miles west of the Six Dragons Snow Mountain are barren and dangerous. But for an army of millions, no kind of demon beast would dare to try to attack, right?"
Su Mu nodded.
"To attack the empire, the best location is the border pass of the Northern Regions, and then the two mountain passes guarded by the Zhou family. The last is the Great Wall of Ice and Snow guarded by our Su family. Hulukou is not a good choice, although the gap here is very large, but the other gap is close to Tianhe Mansion, where the imperial garrison is, once attacked, the entire Yizhou army of one million will soon be assembled. Tianhe Mansion is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if it is not defeated, it will enter Yizhou, and its back is equivalent to being completely sold to the imperial army. ”
"I know this, but the army of millions is just a feint?"
"Of course it's not a feint, the realm of the evil gods needs multiple points of intrusion. It's just that if you fight the border pass in the Northern Regions, you will kill all the way, even if there are tens of millions of troops, it will be consumed. They simply have no logistical capacity and can only rely on plunder. I estimate that all the food in the villages on the sunset market will be robbed soon. It's a pity that the monk of the Xinyi Sect didn't set a fire. ”
The two elders could only smile bitterly. Murder and arson, they are indeed not good at it.
The word war is very particular. For example, the people on this sunset ruin have been cleaned up by the sorcerer, and there is still a lot of food stored in various villages, and for them, winter is not half over. Not everyone has the equipment of Su Jing's bracelet, and the monks can't bring all the food back, so the best way is to burn it with a fire, so as not to make enemies.
Both sides of the war are constantly destroying, destroying, destroying!
Hundreds of years, thousands of years of accumulated civilization, wealth, will be reduced to ashes in the flames of war. There is not the slightest emotion to talk about here.
Monks, not qualified soldiers.
Su Jing pointed to the map and said to Su Mu: "Outside the Great Wall of Ice and Snow, except for the Sunset Ruins, there is no place to station the army, the enemy will come in several groups, and now that the Sunset Ruins have been cleaned up, they will camp in this location, rest for two or three days, and then attack us with all their might." ”
Su Mu looked at the map and frowned: "We don't have enough troops, otherwise this is a good opportunity to counterattack." ”
Even if there were only 50,000 people in Hulukou, Su Mu dared to divide his troops into 10,000 troops and attack the army of the Evil God Kingdom head-on, making it impossible for them to camp in peace. Such battles often have the greatest results and do not allow the enemy to rest.
But Hulukou counted the people, that is, 20,000 people, and Xinyizong brought 5,000 people, a total of only 25,000, and 10,000 troops, and Hulukou was immediately empty. If the enemy attacks desperately, regardless of casualties, the city will be lost.
"Shizi, further east, there are dozens of schools of Buddhism, and the head of Wunian has already sent someone to contact him, and in about three days, there will be at least five thousand reinforcements. If you can persuade some sects to come, Hulukou will be able to support it for more than ten days. An elder of the Heart Sect said to Su Jing.
Su Jing glanced at him, this elder is innocent, less than a hundred years old, the realm of Jin Dan, up and down, revealing a clean temperament.
"Brother, it will take about three days for the other party's army to arrive one after another, and it will take five days to enter the Sunset Ruins. If those sects are willing to send monks over, and we take the initiative to attack, Hulukou will be able to hold out until reinforcements from Fumo City arrive. Su Mu said to Su Jing.
"Su Mu, do you remember what we came here for?" Su Jing asked her with a smile.
"Yes......" Su Mu glanced at the two elders.
"Yes, we are here to subdue the Heart Sect. Su Jing said frankly. "But. The Heart Sect follows us, and we can't get worse or worse, right?"
"That's nature. ”
"Dozens of sects, tens of thousands of monks, go up to kill the enemy, whose credit is the most significant?"
Only then did Su Mu understand what Su Jing meant. said: "Then this credit, it is better to let the Heart Sect swallow it alone." But...... There will be a lot of casualties. ”
"It's you and me, I don't know if Lu Dao will fall on the battlefield of the Western Expedition. If you want to make meritorious contributions, but you are afraid of death, then don't join the army. Su Jing looked at the two great monks indifferently.
Wujian glanced at his junior brother and said to Su Jing: "Shizi, if we can get the right equipment, we will definitely take this credit." Now ......"
These two elders can also be regarded as high-ranking monks. Now I have to bow my body to compete for some worldly merit. Su Jing sighed in his heart. However, after being in contact with the emperor for a period of time, he understood that this is what the Daomen must do, completely transform the Buddhism Gate, and never leave any troubles, otherwise this world will become more and more chaotic.
"Something, I'll give you. The Mind Sect will always send people to investigate, right?"
"Yes. ”
"I'm not sending scouts alone this time. I believe you. As for the equipment, I now have more than 500 ready-made shields, which need to be refined, just refining things at the magic weapon level, don't be too particular, just survive this battle. You eight elders. Night and day, you can get out in three days, right?"
Wuji is going to cry, more than 500 shields, refined into magic weapons?
If it's a material, rely on the power of thoughtlessness. It's quite easy, but the shield that the Daomen has refined by itself, and the Buddhism Sect will refine it again, and it will be too difficult. The consumption inside is all on the Dao pattern that dispels the Dao Sect refining.
This is not over, Su Jing said: "Your monks and soldiers, can you ride horses?"
Wujian shook his head and said, "Only one or two hundred people can ride." Actually......" He didn't continue, because a true Buddhist disciple has to walk on two legs.
"Well, with six hundred shieldmen and six hundred cavalry, that's only one thousand two hundred. The whole Xinyi Sect dispatched this time, and it was only 5,000 people, so don't make up 10,000, my 200 people, follow. "Su Jingti, and Su is determined to borrow troops, he will definitely borrow it, but at most two thousand, in case something happens to the gourd, this is a big deal, and it will be blamed on Su Lens.
It's good to be able to borrow a horse, Su Jing said to Jun Wuxie: "On the battlefield, you use magic weapons to attack, it is indeed powerful, but what you really need is a weapon, have you thought about it, go back and attack the enemy's striker, it is very demanding for you." ”
Jun Wuxie, as the general banner of the monks and soldiers, he wants to charge into battle with the monks, Su Jing's words are not to scare people.
"Young master, I can wear armor. Jun Wuxian didn't insist anymore, he didn't like to wear armor, and felt that it was not something that a qi refiner should wear. The Night Twin Dragons have built equipment for him, but he has never been useful.
"That's right, how was the last time you captured the sorcerer's summon?"
Jun Wuxian was a little embarrassed, that thing was everyone's trophy, so he hid it himself. However, he also knew that Su Jing didn't say it at the time, and he wouldn't want to go back now.
"Young Master, it's hard to submit. It seems that it is not a thing of this world. ”
"Talk to it, and if it refuses to submit, I'll feed it to my Ironrod when I get back. Now I need it to fight for me, and you write a book to make it sign with the power of the soul. This matter is not discussed. ”
Jun Wuxian paused for a moment and asked, "Young Master, is this ...... Is it possible?"
"You know what, that thing, treacherous. You must be reluctant to damage his origin, and if you want to slowly subdue it, it will drag with you, and once you find an opportunity, you will escape back to its world. ”
In the Linglong Demon Descending Tower, the devil from the other world suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and he trembled for no reason.
Jun Wuxian is ashamed, after all, he is a casual cultivator, and his understanding of summoned creatures is definitely not as clear as the disciples of the family. If he had used his method, perhaps the devil had really escaped, and in the end, he lost a relic and did not catch anything. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
