"Either we should retreat. Since the Dog Emperor has withdrawn his troops and gathered around to defend us, and the Shangqing Sect led by Sun Chongyang has also relieved the siege, there is no need for us to fight with them. Emperor Xia..." Ruan Qiushui looked at me with a steady gaze.
On the sand table, I couldn't make up my mind for a moment.
Near the small heaven on the sand table, there are yellow flags everywhere. These are the emperor's army, and one flag almost represents the emperor's army of 10,000. These more than 300 flags are planted there so dazzlingly,
It makes people feel shocked,
It has to be said that the elite force guarding the Little Heaven is quite astonishing. Hundreds of years of burning, killing and looting have given the Dog Emperor countless wealth of fairy crystals, and countless more have joined his command for the sake of fairy crystals and authority.
people, so even if he fights for years, his military strength still maintains an astonishing number,
We have indeed occupied many states and counties along the way, but the real increase in military strength cannot be said to be able to go into battle after being collected. If you expect the soldiers on the pig farm to be able to fight against the emperor's elite, it is simply a lack of IQ.
, so most of the state and county soldiers stayed in place to garrison, and only a small number of elites followed. Therefore, although the number of troops increased a lot along the way, they only maintained a number of about 1.8 million.
Against the emperor's all-elite army, it was indeed slightly inadequate.
"We won't fight. We can't fight now. The Dog Emperor has a map of the Nine Provinces and a treasure in his possession. If we attack with force, we will suffer huge losses. Now that we are stationed in the prefectures and counties, defense is the main thing." I ordered. Now we will not attack except besiege.
, there is no other way for now but to wait for the opportunity,
"This... But we can't afford it," Qin Rongxue said quickly,
"Wait for now. Opportunities are reserved for those who wait. By the way, let Zhao Yu and Jing Yun also pressure the border. We can't make the dog emperor too happy." I immediately pointed my finger at the territory that belonged to them.
It's very far away there. After all, the surrounding area where the Dog Emperor's Little Heavenly Court is located is very large, surrounded by some important states and counties. Zhao Yu and Jing Yun have not been there for a while because we have transferred their main force.
If you take the initiative to attack, you will be left alone.
"I'm going to ask them to launch a general attack, but the rebels from all over the country have not penetrated into the surrounding area of Xiaotianting. I'm afraid that when the time comes, they will counterattack and suppress us here," Qin Rongxue said worriedly,
Before, we charged all the way to the Little Heavenly Court, directly tearing a gap in the square frame. Now the outer edge of the Emperor's Little Heavenly Court has become a "concave", but we are from the deepest position, while the other rebels and Zhao Yu,
Jing Yun and the others are still harassing the outside, but they are unable to get in because of their inferior strength, which has led to the current situation where we are inside and they are outside.
"Defend, but how can we defend? If the Dog Emperor launches a large-scale attack, we will not be able to retreat." Ruan Qiushui was also a little panicked. The strategic layout was now very strange. It was not just as simple as going deep into the enemy's territory, but also looking around at all kinds of people.
Such an enemy,
"If you don't retreat, that's a retreat. Let Xiaofei set up the surrounding formation and assist the formation to hold on. Wait for the actual situation, and spread the news. The emperor will fail soon. We have breached the perimeter," I ordered.
Qin Rongxue and Ruan Qiushui both looked at me in astonishment, but they could only force themselves to issue the order and let many generals carry it out.
After Zhang Xiaofei made the strategic deployment, I had no time to come and returned to the prefecture and county government to contact Han Shanshan.
Now nearly half a year has passed, winter is coming, and heavy snow is falling all over the sky. I am now waiting for the opportunity. As long as someone can break through the emperor's defense zone and become the horn with me, then I may win this battle.
At the same time, I also want to take a look at Han Shanshan’s production process of the Manado Pot. After all, now is the time to use it.
As a result, as soon as my contact was sent, Han Shanshan replied with a brief message, asking me to wait.
It seems that this matter is not going well. The manpower and material resources required to produce large-scale treasures are beyond imagination. It is normal that the progress is not fast.
There is nothing I can do about Han Shanshan. I can only hope that other forces can break through the emperor's defense.
We didn't have the emperor yet and didn't wait for my deployment. He was smart and sent a large army to attack. The front line fell into the flames of war in advance. Ruan Qiushui, as the commander-in-chief, supervised the entire battle, and Zhang Xiaofei also played his due role and stopped the first wave.
attack,
Li Qinghe and others are stationed here with me in the prefecture and county capital to prevent the underworld attack from sneak attacks.
The first battle did not allow any of us to win. After losing some of our soldiers, we all retreated to our respective camps. While I was waiting for Ruan Qiushui to discuss the next move, Sun Chongyang led a team of Shangqing soldiers.
The Taoist priests who teach are here. There are about ten monks in this team, and they are all outstanding in their cultivation. One of them is wearing a black cloak. He looks like he is a member of the Taoist priests. He doesn’t know how he got here.
"One day," Sun Chongyang was very happy when he saw me, and Zhao Mengnan also came this time. He went to the Qing Dynasty to go to the main altar of Huangquan Killing Dao. Unfortunately, he retreated and lost a lot of high-level monks, so Zhao Mengnan
This time is also a bit embarrassing. This attack on the main forum was orchestrated by him.
"How is the situation in Huangquan Killing Road?" I asked Sun Chongyang,
"Thanks to your timely attack on the Little Heavenly Court area around the Dog Emperor, his withdrawal of troops now allows our Shangqing Sect to confront Huang Quan Shadao in Beixianhe. There has been no fighting recently. That Emperor Xianchen brought the general back to Zhou Feng
I haven’t seen them come out again. We, the congregation, are monitoring them now and will give feedback immediately as soon as there is news,” Sun Chongyang said,
"If it weren't for Emperor Xia, this loss would have been heavy. Alas, it's all my fault for being reckless and making mistakes in a hurry. I should have listened to Palace Master Sun. The Underworld Killing Dao has not yet been destroyed, so we shouldn't be so rash," Zhao Mengnan
sigh heavily,
"It's okay now, fellow Daoist Zhao, why should you care? As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. As long as we exist for one day, the underworld will eventually be destroyed." I felt relieved, but Zhao Mengnan still blamed himself very much.
This loss really made him feel distressed.
"Emperor Xia, Di Xianchen should be seriously injured now. The boy named Zhou Feng who brought him here doesn't seem to be in the right state. Do you think we can attack, maybe Huang Quan's killing path is just..." Zhao Mengnan was still a little unwilling.
, suddenly asked me,
I glanced at him and secretly thought that this guy is really determined to get to the Yellow River. It seems that Sun Chongyang brought him here this time just so that I can persuade him again.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, I can guarantee that if you really want to attack this time, you will not be able to come back. Who is Di Xianchen? I summoned the Purifying Green Lotus Sword, but it only forced him away. As for
Zhou Feng, there is also a great Taoist god in his body. Do you think they are really easy to deal with? I think all of you Puritan elites combined are not enough to fill the grave." I frowned and looked at Zhao Mengnan,
Zhao Mengnan saw my solemn expression, and he immediately said with a bitter face: "Don't be angry, Emperor Xia, I'm just suggesting..."
"It's best not to take action," I warned him politely,
"Haha, one day, you are still the same as before, almost unchanged." Just as I was talking to Zhao Mengnan, the man in black from the Jiejiao religion came out and looked at me,
I looked at him, because there was no sound in the robe, so I asked: "My dear friend, who are you?"
"Guess who I am," the man in black smiled faintly and walked up to me.
I saw his steady walking posture, and I thought of a person for a moment, and immediately blurted out: "Brother Ruize,"
"Hahaha, you have such amazing eyesight, you can actually tell it's me at a glance," the man in black took off the cloak on his head and showed his face in front of me,
Seeing those scorching eyes, I couldn't hide my excitement and said, "I didn't expect that he was really my eldest brother. How are you doing recently? Could it be that Brother Ruize has broken through the Dog Emperor's defense zone and crossed the border to get here?"
"I'm not that powerful. I just don't know your strategic intentions, so I followed them to the Puritan Church to ask you, so that we can discuss with you how we should fight." Xia Ruize said that I was the same as before. In fact, I
I feel that he is the same as before, but the change in my mood is completely different from before.
