The first wave of offensive was not fierce. After both sides stopped their troops, they returned to their camps. Lin Xiao also returned to the main camp from the spiritual confrontation.
"Baosheng, how is our situation?"
After returning to the camp, Lin Xiao summoned Zhang Baosheng for questioning. Li Yiwen was in charge of Tiansheng Sect, so Lin Xiao did not bring him here. Instead, he hired Zhang Baosheng, who had failed in the competition for the first elder, and made him the leader of the entire camp.
The general manager, except for dispatching troops and generals, all logistical matters are handled by him.
"After an hour of fierce fighting, we lost more than 300 people, injured more than 800, consumed 7.6 million Xuanjing, more than 3,000 large crossbow arrows, 10,000 spiritual talismans, and consumed more than 10 million resources."
"Where's the enemy?"
"At least two thousand people were lost and hundreds were injured. However, most of the casualties were cannon fodder from Baiyan State. The Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom did not move, and Chunyang Palace suffered a few casualties."
"They are a bunch of idiots. Ignore them. Go comfort the wounded and tell Geng Yunlong to arrange patrols to prevent them from attacking by high-level monks."
"Yes, Master"
Zhang Baosheng left in a hurry. Now that the war has just ended, he still has a lot of things to do.
"Head"
"Ye Nanyu, what's going on?"
"I have something to say"
"If you fart, let it go"
"Master, our Daogang side is far inferior to the enemy. How about I summon Ye Xiao's troops to join the battle?"
Ye Nanyu whispered, after years of training, Ye Xiao already has eleven Dao Gang monks, and they control and hold even more Dao Gang monks. If they can pull out thirty Dao Gang monks at all costs, they can
Overwhelm the opponent's number of Daogangs in one fell swoop.
"Stop talking nonsense, do you know what the word "Ye Xiao" means?
"I know, but the leader..."
"There's nothing wrong with it. When I need to use you, you will naturally use it. No one is allowed to be exposed without my order. If you can't do it, I'll find someone else to do it."
"Yes, Master"
Ye Nanyu didn't dare to say anything anymore. He had always known that the leader had lofty aspirations and a broad vision. Every layout of Ye Xiao's Dao Gang was of great use.
"How about the confrontation between you Night Owls and the other party's intelligence department now? This time the other party is all out, right?"
"Back to the leader, the situation is still in our hands. The current confrontation with the opponent is mainly in the remaining five states and counties of Lu State. The five states and counties can pull out at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops. In order to hold these states and counties down,
Both of us are bribing the high-level leaders of various states and counties who are instigating rebellion, and we are also intercepting each other. We have the strength to confront each other head-on.
Although the combined forces of the other Three Kingdoms are more numerous than ours, they have too few Dao Gang monks, so they are no match for us."
Ye Nanyu replied that the intelligence departments of the Three Kingdoms were not taken seriously by them. Except for the Daogang monks who led them, there were only one or two Daogang monks under their command. Moreover, they did not have enough resources and could not control the coercion.
The rest of Daogang are no match for Ye Xiao in a head-to-head confrontation.
"Okay, it's not in vain that I cultivated you all the time. Night Owl is still the sharpest knife in my hand, unlike some bastards, huh..."
Lin Xiao was furious, and the reason for Lin Xiao's anger turned out to be that he had betrayed the sect. More than 20 years ago, the Tiansheng Sect could not support more than 20 Dao Gang monks, so it sent thirteen Dao Gang monks to travel.
Reduce the burden on the sect.
Five years ago, Lu Yan and four other people attacked the Tiansheng Sect in an attempt to interrupt Li Muxue's breakthrough. In fact, the sect was making secret preparations and sent messages to the Dao Gang monks who were traveling, asking them to come back to help in the battle.
However, in five years, only eleven people came back, and two people did not come back. They were not killed or injured, and Ye Xiao was 100% sure that the news had been sent to them. In a few years,
But they didn't come back. There was only one reason. They were afraid of death and war and betrayed the sect.
You must know that even Fenghuo Island sent people back. Lin Xiao's direct disciple Jia Mengran led 500 people and brought two million Xuanjing back, leaving Yu Tianxiang alone to take charge. This kind of power is something Fenghuo Island can bring out.
After all, the foundation of Fenghuo Island is much worse than that of Weiguo.
Lin Xiao also asked the system if he could directly punish them or even kill them, but the system replied that the level was insufficient. Lin Xiao expected that the system would have to be upgraded again.
Lin Xiao looked at their loyalty and found that they were only around fifty. They kept wandering around, worse than some newcomers who had just started, and drove Lin half to death. Is this the disciple he had trained with so much effort?
"Master, don't be angry, two junior brothers..."
"Shut up, don't call them Junior Brother, they are not qualified. Ye Nanyu, please remember, don't send them any more news, let them make their own choice. If they are willing to come back before the end of this war, then I will only fine them a salary.
I will no longer support them in the future. If they are really so afraid of death that they won’t even leave the sect and will not come back before the end of the war, I will
They immediately announced that they had betrayed the sect and were expelled from the sect. They would return the resources that the sect invested in them within a year and go their own ways. If they did not come back, Ye Xiao immediately sent people to hunt them down and kill them until death. Their relatives
, all those in the sect who have been demoted to outer sect disciples, Dao Ji Dan and Kaifu Dan will never be open to them, and all mortal relatives within three generations of the direct line will be expelled from the sphere of influence of Tianyun State."
Lin Xiao shouted angrily and said that the sect provides resources to the disciples and protects the disciples' growth. The disciples are loyal to the sect and fight for the interests of the sect. This is the most basic rule. If they can't do it, then don't blame Lin Xiao for being cruel.
Hands on.
Moreover, this trend must not be allowed to break out. The prosperity of Tiansheng Sect today depends entirely on the whole sect's hard work. If they avoid fighting without being severely punished, then everyone will follow suit in the future and the entire sect will be completely destroyed.
.
"Yes, Master, I understand."
Ye Nanyu replied, this was the first time he saw Lin Xiao so angry. Even if he joked with Lin Xiao before, it was nothing, he seemed very friendly, but now, hey, those two people are really confused.
"Go down, I want to be quiet"
Lin Xiao waved his hand and let Ye Nanyu go down. He sat on the futon alone, trying to calm down, but he was a little upset.
Half a day later, Zhang Baosheng asked someone to invite Lin Xiao to attend the post-war meeting. Every battle requires summarizing experience and adjusting some arrangements, which requires Lin Xiao's participation and support.
When Lin Xiao entered the tent, there were already a lot of people sitting inside. Basically, they were the leaders of various sects. The Dao Gang monks sat in a circle.
"I've met Master Lin"
"Everyone is polite. During the war, we don't come with these cliché things. Let's sit down."
"Thank you, Master Lin"
"Baosheng, tell me about today's issue."
"Yes, Chief, today's topic is about the rhythm of this war. After these days of fighting, we have come to the conclusion that we cannot use the power of battleships, and we cannot fight a war between battleships.
We are not as good as the enemy in terms of the number of monks and the quality of high-level monks, and we can barely survive. Therefore, in this war, should we fight it quickly or slowly as before?"
"What do you mean?"
"Master, it is difficult for everyone to make a conclusion now. If we fight slowly and it becomes a war of attrition, it will be beneficial to us temporarily, but in the long run, Tianyun State will lose. How can we fight against the Three Kingdoms with the power of one state.
If we want to fight quickly, the situation is tense now, and there must be a breakthrough point. No matter how we break through, our casualties will be huge, and we will have to pay at least 10,000 to 20,000 people to defeat them."
"It's difficult for me to break through. The puppets in my hands are not flexible enough. Once the opponent escapes quickly, even if they self-destruct, it will be difficult to hurt them. Without the puppets, I can't defeat the three of them."
Lin Xiao shook his head. He understood the hidden meaning of these people. Everyone wanted to fight quickly, and the breakthrough point was naturally a battle at the aura level.
But Lu Yan and the others are not fools. After several battles, they have become familiar with the weaknesses of the system's real-person mode. As long as they are more cautious, they are not afraid of the system's real-person mode self-destruction. Once the system's real-person mode is gone, Lin Xiao doesn't feel that he can rely on his own aura.
The first level of cultivation can defeat their three veteran spiritual monks.
"Master, if it turns into a war of attrition, there is another threat, that is, our Tianyun Prefecture is too empty, and the other sects are very worried about this."
Zhang Baosheng said again, this is the reason why each sect decided to fight quickly. The elites of each sect came out in full force, and the rear was empty. This was no problem for a short time, but once the time went on, the problem became bigger. It was unavoidable to worry about being copied.
Lair.
The Tiansheng Sect also has this worry. What is going on at the mountain gate now? There are only a few Zifu monks in charge. If Lin Xiao hadn't exchanged a few fourth-level puppets from the system, I'm afraid the entire Tiansheng Sect would have been worried.
.
"I know, what news is there about Muxue?"
"The situation on Ancestor Li's side is unclear. Although Ancestor Li blocked Wu Muyang, there were too many Dao Gang monks on the other side, which completely restrained our warships and was unable to defeat the opponent's large group of troops. We are still in a confrontation. Recently,
After several days of fierce fighting, thousands of people died on both sides."
Zhang Baosheng replied, there are twenty-eight Daogang monks in Tianyun Prefecture, sixteen here, four are located in the hinterland of Tianyun Prefecture, Li Muxue only has eight people, and Cang Kingdom has mobilized twenty Daogang monks,
They can draw twelve Dao Gang to contain the battleship.
"Can the Zifu level open up a breakthrough?"
"I'm afraid that won't work either. There are about 300 Zifu troops fighting on both sides now. The second batch of reinforcements from the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom haven't arrived yet. It's expected that there will be at least 50 or 60 troops. We are also the weaker side."
"How many more battles can we fight at this level?"
"Ten games, ten games at most. By then we will be in an embarrassing situation where there is no Xuanjing available. It is very dangerous."
"Understood, starting from tomorrow, we will send out sentries to explore the battle. The camp will not be able to leave. We will deploy elite troops to cover the battlefield. The other side will definitely send troops to compete for the power of the war eye. When fighting between the two sides, we must first weaken the other side."
Lin Xiao nodded, the sentinels were all fighting elites, and cannon fodder was useless. Each sect had to send elite disciples with good qualifications to weaken the other side's strength by killing and injuring the other side's elite troops.
This style of play is very detrimental to small sects, because their elite disciples are few and very precious. Unlike large sects, there are many elite disciples. If one group dies, another group will remain. However, Lin Xiao’s words have won the Danyang Sect and other major disciples.
Zong's support, of course, he had no right to object, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and admit it.
