After listening to the four people's reports on the defense situation of their respective responsibilities, as well as some personal views on the human-monster war, Liu Changxu also raised his own questions:
"I just inspected the city wall defenses and found that the Qi Refining monks under our command behaved in a loose manner!
This is fine in normal times! After all, most of these people are family monks and casual cultivators, and they are used to being free and undisciplined.
However, it may not be possible to face the coming tide of beasts in this state.
In the face of an overwhelming tide of beasts, it is difficult to fight alone and fight on your own, and we must change this situation immediately."
As soon as Liu Changxu finished speaking, the beautiful middle-aged woman Xia Wenxia said delicately:
"Master! Whatever you say, we will just follow your orders."
But she said this just to cater to Liu Changxu! She felt that everyone was like this and didn't think there was anything to improve.
At this time, Wang Ling, who was standing aside, spoke:
"Does the real person want to implement the method of battle formation?"
"Yes! I just want to train and implement the battle formation method in our group of monks before the beast tide comes. Otherwise, it will be difficult to block the beast tide with our current strength!"
Liu Changxu said solemnly:
When the four of them saw Liu Changxu say this, they couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on their faces!
"What the real person said is true. It's just that the battle formation is a secret that is not passed down by the sect and some cultivating families. We don't know how to do it!"
Wang Ling smiled bitterly and said:
This Wang Ling was originally the ancestor of a small family, and he knew very well that the battle formation was not within the reach of small families and casual cultivators like them.
Regarding Wang Ling's question, Liu Changxu naturally understood in his heart that he did not require his subordinates to master battle formations proficiently. His requirements were not high, as long as his low-level monks could master basic combat coordination.
Therefore, Liu Changxu said to the four people:
"Not to mention you, even I don't know the true way of fighting. Of course, even if I know it, I can't teach it to you, because it is a sect secret. Moreover, even if I can teach you, you can't practice it in a short time.
become.
My request to you is that you and the more than two thousand monks under your command can have basic cooperation in battle, so as to form a joint force and greatly improve the combat effectiveness.
Let's figure out what to do specifically. In short, we can't be idle now. We should seize the time to train the monk team, so that at least the monks under us know how to effectively cooperate in fighting when the war comes."
After listening to Liu Changxu's words, the four people immediately felt a sense of enlightenment on their faces, so they said in unison excitedly:
"I will obey the master's instructions! I will go and take care of it immediately!"
After convincing the four people in front of him, Liu Changxu's next plan went much smoother.
It was a matter of life and death for them, so the four of them were very positive about Liu Changxu's instructions, and immediately organized their monks to start military training activities after returning.
However, the four of them all trained their team of monks based on what Liu Changxu said and their own understanding of the battle formation, so their training methods were different and their styles were different.
In this regard, Liu Changxu did not give specific opinions, but asked them to handle it according to their own ideas.
Of course, Liu Changxu did not completely let it go. For this reason, he personally participated in the discussion and training of his monks on the way of fighting. He also wanted to take this opportunity to summarize his own way of fighting and return it to his family to strengthen it.
strength.
Obviously, Liu Changxu also had some selfish motives this time.
In the following days, as long as it was Liu Changxu's turn to go on duty on the city wall, he would continue to pay close attention to the training of his team of monks.
Naturally, his actions could not be hidden from the eyes of others.
For this reason, the city lord Chu Shixiong specially summoned Liu Changxu to report the matter.
Liu Changxu naturally told everyone about his plans and methods. He was eager to implement his methods throughout the city.
However, after Chu Shixiong listened to his report, he only affirmed his approach and said nothing about promotion.
Several other golden elixir monks had mixed reactions to Liu Changxu's method, but most of the golden elixir monks were prepared to practice it under Liu Changxu until the effect was achieved.
The only people who publicly agreed with Liu Changxu's approach were Yu Xia, Wang Chendong and his wife. After learning about Liu Changxu's approach, they followed suit and began to take action to train their monks.
Lin Feiyang and Wu Kun, who were defending the east wall with Liu Changxu, arranged training for their team of monks out of consideration for protecting Liu Changxu's face.
However, the two of them were not like Liu Changxu who personally participated in the training of low-level monks. Naturally, the low-level monks under their command had little enthusiasm for any battle formation.
On the contrary, because Liu Changxu, a strong man in the golden elixir, was doing it himself, the low-level monks under his command were highly motivated to train! They all hoped to receive Liu Changxu's guidance and recognition. Not only did their mental outlook take on a new look, but the training results were also very good!
At this time, several other Jindan monks who were watching the excitement realized that they wanted to train their own team of monks like Liu Changxu.
It's just that they acted too late.
One morning more than a month after Liu Changxu arrived in Duobao City, the beast tide arrived.
Hundreds of thousands of sea monsters, large and small, covered the sea surface, like a raging wave coming from far and near, rushing towards Duobao City.
Fortunately, there are not many flying demon birds, otherwise Duobao City would be in even greater trouble.
Even so, when the monks in Duobao City saw the sea monster rushing toward Duobao City like a tide, their scalps would inevitably go numb!
You must know that the total number of monks in Duobao City is only more than 20,000, but less than 30,000.
This also means that each person has to deal with more than ten sea monsters. With such a disparity, even with the help of city defense formations and city walls, the pressure is extremely high.
What's more, not only are the number of low-level sea monsters huge, but the number of third-level sea monsters is also several times that of Duobao City. Liu Changxu alone observed more than forty third-level sea monsters and three fourth-level sea monsters.
With such a comparison of strength, the monks in Duobao City have no chance of winning when they go out to fight! They can only huddle inside the city and rely on the city defense formation and strong and tall city walls to withstand the impact of the beast tide.
Faced with such a large-scale beast tide, Chu Shixiong, who was originally sitting firmly in the city lord's palace, also came to the east city wall.
Although Liu Changxu was not on duty during the day today, because of the approaching beast tide, he also climbed the east city wall with the city lord Chu Shixiong.
After Chu Shixiong observed the situation of the beast tide, he ordered the monks around him:
"Pass my order, all monks in the city come to the city wall and stand by immediately. If the city wall is in danger, immediately go to the city wall to support!"
"I'm waiting for your order!"
Following Chu Shixiong's order, Liu Changxu and others immediately took action and organized their monks to gather to join the battle.
Not long after, the spiritual cannon on the city wall began to fire, and two huge spiritual bombs were fired at the group of sea monsters in the distance. The battle officially began!
