Is the strength of the demon really just that?

The war in Shennong Valley almost smoothly entered the stage of a major counteroffensive, and the human world and the divine world joined forces to resist the enemy for a total of only ten days, and the demon front almost collapsed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoHundreds of miles of troops stretch out, like a huge net, chasing the invaders of this world into a narrow corner.

However, while the war was in full swing, many people of insight sensed that something was not quite right.

The combined forces of Shennong Valley and the Protoss were dispatched almost hundreds of thousands of miles, and the battle line was extremely long. Now it has reached Kunlun in the north and the South China Sea in the south. Spanned almost the entire continent and slowly advanced eastward. However, if you look at this situation from the top of the sand table, the generals who have a little bit of the overall situation will feel a strong sense of crisis.

Although the demon race is not as strong as the combined forces of humans and gods, in terms of numbers, the demon world has an absolute advantage. Although the alliance of men and gods is brave, it is not enough. It is still powerful to hold on to one place or attack a certain point, but once the troops are scattered, it is equivalent to exposing one's own death hole to the enemy. However, the demons are defeated, if they retreat and do not pursue, the demons will definitely repeat the offense and outflank the coalition forces in a larger circle, and the local losses will be immeasurable. Therefore, the current situation is not so much that the coalition forces have the upper hand and pursue the victory, but that they have been brought into a vicious circle by the demons, forcing Shennong Valley to disperse their forces. And such a situation naturally cannot last long, once the battle line is pulled to a certain scale and there is a break, the demon clan will have a great chance to cut off the battle line and annex it in pieces.

The four major altar masters were discussing in the Shennong Valley, the Cangyun altar master, the Tianxing Sparrow master, the giant patriarch, and the Danfeng patriarch were sitting on the left and right sides of the main hall, and Su Ling'er helped Shi Yunyang to sit on the high position in the center of the main hall. He had just woken up, but for half a day, his body was still extremely weak, and as soon as he woke up, he called people to ask about the current situation of the battle. has experienced countless wars, and almost no one can understand the trend of the war situation better than Ying Long. After listening to the battle report, he immediately felt that something was wrong, so he summoned the four major altar masters of the World Alliance to come and discuss countermeasures.

In the main hall floated a huge map, on which the blue and white colors showed the comparison of the strength of the Demon Realm and the coalition forces, as well as the approximate deployment of troops today. As far as the eye can see, a large area of rivers and mountains is still in the hands of the demons, but the northwest and southwest corners have almost all turned white, and that long dividing line is the current battle line.

The Cangyun Altar Lord pointed to the crystal blue interface in the map, and said in a deep voice: "The current situation is already very unfavorable to our army, the front line is too long, and due to the terrain and the air blockade of the demon race, the transportation of materials is extremely difficult. At the moment, it is almost alone. If I were a demon, I would definitely send out a few cavalry to raid both ends of the line, quickly cut off the battle line, and then concentrate a little bit to eliminate the coalition camp in sections. ”

The Skywalker Sparrow Lord disagreed, and said, "No, the strange soldier doesn't work. Our troops are Armor and Protoss, and our soldiers are very mobile and have little dependence on the terrain, so if the enemy surprises one place, the nearby battle line will surely come to their aid. ”

"I don't think they're aiming to swallow up the entire coalition. At this time, the battle line was stretched so long, and the demon clan spent heavy troops to drag most of the strength of the coalition army, and if there was a strong force to raid Shennong Valley again at this time, then Shennong Valley would be a little precarious. "Patriarch Danfeng seems to see the near, but it is indeed the crux of the problem.

Cangyun said: "The reason why the demon clan attacked Shennong Valley was because the divine realm suddenly descended and joined the war. Therefore they want to gain the initiative in the war. However, this plan does not seem to have succeeded, so what is the point of spending great efforts to attack Shennong Valley now? As long as the main force of the coalition army is eliminated in stages, the resistance of the human world will naturally collapse, so the plan of the demon clan must be to use the tactics of a long front to consume the combat power of the coalition army and break them one by one. ”

Danfeng Patriarch Shen Shen said: "Again, Shennong Valley may not be of much use in the hands of the demon clan, but if Shennong Valley is occupied, the blow to the coalition army will be huge." On the one hand, the war reserves in Shennong Valley will all disappear. Second, cut off the dragon vein network of Shennong Valley, and almost all parts of the human world are isolated from each other. If you can't echo the beginning and the end, that's the biggest loss. ”

"Judging from the battle reports sent back from the front line these days, the casualties have almost more than doubled, no matter whether the demons have plans to surprise the attack, such a tactic must be inappropriate. Lord Skywalker pondered.

"That's right, this battle can't be fought like this, if it continues like this, the armies of the two realms will all fall into the quagmire!" Shi Yunyang pinched his eyebrows and said: "The demon clan has been preparing for ten thousand years, and its strength must be more than that, they must have cheated if they retreat so quickly." ”

The Giant Patriarch said, "Aren't there still two troops in the Divine Realm to the east, call them back." The Protoss' army is so powerful, they can come to their aid, and everything will be solved soon. ”

"The Pangu Army and the Taiyi Army cannot be withdrawn, this war is a war in the human world, not a place in Shennong Valley. Now the focus of the war is in Shennong Valley, and the strength of the demons in the rest of the world has become weak. These two forces are like two wedges inserted into the enemy's army, which can be of great use at critical moments. Once there is a decisive change in the situation of the war, the troops on the periphery will be able to adapt to the situation. After Shi Yunyang finished speaking, he pinched his eyebrows tightly, and Su Linger handed over the wet handkerchief on the side, he took it and wiped the beads of sweat on his head.

In fact, everyone knows that now he is enduring unimaginable pain, but he has been enduring it and has never shown it.

The Cangyun Alliance Lord nodded and said, "That's right, now that the help of the Spirit Realm has not arrived, we must reintegrate the forces at hand." ”

Several people's eyes fell on Shi Yunyang, and the Tianxing Sparrow Lord said, "I don't know if the alliance leader has a countermeasure?"

"What do you think?"

Cangyun said: "In my humble opinion, the top priority is to shrink the elongated front back and form a semi-arc blockade with Shennong Valley as the center, the northern part of Miaojiang, the western part of Yizhou, Bashu, and the north to the Hexi Corridor as the battle line. The length of this front is within the optimal range of the coalition forces, and if there is a disturbance at a certain point, a large number of troops can concentrate on supporting them. Moreover, within this range, every point on the front can exert its maximum combat power, and there will be no surplus of troops due to the volume of the battlefield, and it will not be too dispersed and weaken the combat power. ”

The Giant Patriarch said: "In this case, isn't it equivalent to giving up the territory just recaptured to the Demon Clan?"

"The land is dead and can be recaptured at any time, but once the troops are severely lost, it will be too much to lose. ”

Shi Yunyang said: "I don't know if you have noticed, the reason why we are in such a predicament is that we are in this situation. It's because there is no breakthrough point on the battlefield of the demons. The thief captures the king first, and in this war, except for the short-lived appearance of the Eight Great Demon Venerables, the attacks everywhere are almost identical. Judging from the current battle situation, it seems that the main force of the demon clan cannot be found. He paused, and then said: "The demon clan must have some bigger conspiracy, don't forget, there is one of the most powerful demons who have never appeared, with his strength, even if he is only single, I am afraid that he can directly turn Shennong Valley upside down." ”

Danfeng Patriarch said: "But the Demon Emperor has never made a move, thinking that he is afraid of the joint efforts of the Three Emperors. ”

Shi Yunyang nodded and said, "Yes, the Three Emperors and the Demon Emperor seem to be retaining their strength, and no one dares to wear it down first." In a sense, the strength between them is the most critical determinant of this war. I agree with the Cangyun Altar Lord's opinion, now is not the time for a large-scale counteroffensive. ”

The four altar masters immediately got up and arched their hands: "My subordinates will go down to deliver military orders." ”

"Wait, which altar is Shennong Valley's troops under temporary control now?"

The Danfeng patriarch arched his hand and said, "For the time being, it is under the jurisdiction of the Tianwen Branch. ”

"After the battle circle shrank and formed, Shennong Valley mobilized a part of the Yan Division to go to the front line two hundred miles to build a second line of defense. In addition, open all the dragon veins in the formed battle circle. ”

"Yes. The four of them shouted in unison and took the order.

It wasn't until a few people were far away from the main hall that Shi Yunyang suddenly frowned, exhaled intermittent breathing, and his face turned pale.

"Brother Yunyang, you have to rest, don't think about the war. Su Ling'er approached him, took his arm, and begged with tears in her eyes. Shi Yunyang smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll go rest." Don't worry so much, I can't die. ”

"But I feel very sorry to see you in such pain. Su Linger buried her head, her forehead resting on the back of his hand, and the tears from the corners of her eyes slid down her cheeks and fell between his fingers.

"This is war, how can there be a reason to be in the middle of war and not get hurt. Rest assured, what I promised you will be done. Stroking Ling'er's hair, a burst of warmth suddenly appeared in his heart. With her by my side, I finally have some feelings of family. These days, I seem to have said goodbye to Shi Yunyang as a human being, and I have no time to take care of family and love, but once I calm down, I suddenly remembered the kind eldest brother in Chang'an, the kind old father.

The times are full of trouble, I hope they are all safe. He let out a long breath and sighed deeply.
