Seeing that Dream Chaser had set up an army formation in Tiannan City, the high priest of Qiqi laughed with great satisfaction. Now it's about to start the rainy season.

If the Holy Cult army fails to break through Tiannan City before the rainy season comes, they will be bogged down in a quagmire and engaged in a tug-of-war with the enemy on the city walls.

While the mire hinders the sprinting speed of the dragoons and heavy cavalry, it also hinders the ability of the elephants. Many of them have lived in swamps for generations, but none of them will want to fight in the mud for long periods of time.

Therefore, Qi Qi was not afraid of the opponent's battle, but was worried that they would rely on fortifications and fortified cities to defend them, in that case, the Holy Sect people would not be able to give full play to their advantages, but it would be equivalent to being blocked at the door of their homes.

If he falls into such a predicament, he is afraid that King Jiuli will not be able to spare him, and he himself will not be able to forgive himself. Therefore, as long as Xu Zhennan does not build a fortress and defend, but goes out of the city to fight, the high priest of Qiqi will only thank God, hoping for a quick victory.

After all, this is just the beginning, according to the plan formulated by the three major sect masters of the Holy Sect before, this attack is to hit Ling Yun all the way. If it didn't go well at the beginning, then don't say anything about Lingyun, just disband and go home and pick up the child.

Five days later, the follow-up troops arrived one after another, especially the elephant soldiers were in place, and the Demon Cult army advanced to Tiannan City again, slowly entering the plain dozens of miles wide outside Tiannan City, setting up camps and tents twenty miles away, and forming a defensive barrier with chariots.

Xu Zhennan ordered to stop all actions to harass the enemy army and let them stand firm. But the atmosphere of the imminent war made the sky gloomy, and the birdsong did not dare to be here, and there was a dead silence, which tensed the nerves of everyone on both sides.

Three days later, the Demon Sect coalition forces were all in place, and Xu Zhennan and Lu Yunyi looked at it from afar on the city wall. On the surface, the opponent's army is at its peak and there is no fatigue at all.

After Xu Zhennan looked at it for a while, he said with a smile: "If you talk about the quality and training of the soldiers, except for Jiuli, the Demon Sect Alliance is far inferior to me, but they have the right time and place, and they are fighting at their own doorstep, so their psychological advantage is huge." “

After a pause, he said: "My teacher and the previous commander once said that throughout the world's famous generals, only the two of them, the High Priest of Qiqi and Shen Guangtang, have never achieved the law in battle, do not follow the rules, and teach people beyond measure, and others are always traceable. Such an opponent is the one who is difficult to deal with. “

Lu Yun smiled and said, "Don't be pressured, this is just the first formation, and it is the power of your dream chasing family to fight against the Demon Sect coalition." Originally, I heard that the United Kingdom intended to divide half of the Black Wind to assist you, but now that the demon clan is moving, they don't dare to come over, so only half of the blood soul and the war saint are moving here, and Xuanyuan Qing will also arrive later with some core battle groups. You and I are here today, not to hold on firmly, as long as we inflict enough casualties on the Demon Sect, it will be considered a victory. “

"Yes, our terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the previous discussions were the same, instead of going to the Demon Sect's lofty mountains to catch scorpions and looking for them, it is better to let them in, give them a good time at once, and save them from scurrying back and forth. This is also the reason why the population of the southwest has not been deployed for so many years. ”

"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and the old man thinks that it is necessary to be merciful when soldiers meet each other, but what if we can prevent greater killings, it is to temper some enemies?"

Everyone talked for a while, the atmosphere relaxed, Yan Yuntian said: "The enemy soldiers are out of the base camp, and they have been estimated before. The total strength of the army is afraid that there are three or five hundred thousand people, after all, many tribes of the Demon Sect were originally on their horses as soldiers and dismounted as people. However, I am not worried about this, because the other side has always had different intentions and it is difficult to cooperate wholeheartedly. In addition, the weather and soil here are especially unfavorable to us, so our army only needs to follow the established strategy, on the one hand, inflict as many casualties as possible, and on the other hand, constantly harass and retreat, so that they will become tired soldiers. After all, we dare to constantly roll and use different warbands, and they don't dare, only those attacking regiments can stand on top. Therefore, although there are 350,000 people, they can actually be regarded as 200,000 troops. Although we are still twice as strong as us, we have a strong city to support, we are not afraid of a long battle, and the attack has always been several times greater than that of the defending side. Therefore, as long as we can retreat slowly and not show any flaws, the other side will definitely use troops in a hurry and make mistakes. “

Wang Dingbian is the deputy commander of Dream Chasing, he has been observing the form, seeing him looking far away, he said: "In the enemy's formation, the cavalry is galloping from the center to the left and right, obviously to convene the generals to the meeting of the Chinese army, it seems that the enemy is about to attack in a big way." “

Lu Yunyi's heart moved, and he said lightly: "According to what I think, this is all a show for us to see, if I am an opponent, and I am really strong and strong, and my morale is like a rainbow, I will simply put on a weak posture and lead us out of the city to attack, and now I put on a powerful posture like this, which shows that they are weak and timid, and they are afraid that we will attack." “

Mo Feihua agreed: "There are clouds in the martial arts: "Shima Xiaoxiong shows that I am weak, and the formation is neat, but it shows that I do not fight." He muttered, "Elder Lu's meaning coincides with this." ”

Elder Lanling really lived up to his reputation, and he quoted scriptures and classics when he said it casually, which made others admire it very much.

Now that Lu Yunyi, Yan Yuntian and others who are familiar with the art of war and combat are here, Xu Zhennan will be able to release himself and prepare to fight in person.

Unexpectedly, several masters had already seen his plan and stopped them together.

"Zhennan, at this time, it is a tentative battle, and the opposing general's main general will not appear, and according to past habits, there will be no masters in the battle of temptation, and both sides will see what kind of basic soldiers can fight. You're desperate to fight, forget about that. ”

Xu Zhennan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "Yes, yes, look at my brain, I was a little funny when I met the enemy." ”

He couldn't fight, and the two deputy commanders were already gearing up, and when they saw the opportunity to come, they immediately asked to fight at the same time.

According to Xu Zhennan's original intention, there are several generals who will play one or two, but both of them are excited, wanting to be the first man to show off in the war thirty years later.

Seeing this, he didn't want to splash a basin of cold water, as long as he ordered two people to lead a team and attack from the left and right flanks, and the frontal defense was carried out by a partial general.

Half an hour later, the gates were wide open, and each of them led a force of 5,000 men mixed with catapults to cross the plain and storm the enemy's position.

Xu Zhennan led the army into battle, so that it was better to cover their retreat if necessary.

The battle lasted until dusk, and several enemy camps were broken before the troops were collected and returned to the city.

The next day, when it was the enemy's turn to send troops to challenge, the Dream Chaser Legion closed its doors and only replied with huge arrows, and the enemy had no choice but to retreat.

After three days of this tug-of-war with casualties, by the early morning of the fourth day, the Demon Cult army finally lost patience and launched an all-out siege battle with newly built siege vehicles and wooden wagons.
