Chapter 285 Shadow Warrior, Ghost Sword Master, Dancer, Demon Servant
Not long ago, a messenger from Baqi City sneaked into the city to bring you a news.
A reinforcement army from Baqi City came nearby, hoping that the troops in the city could cooperate with the action, cooperate from inside to outside, and give the Yaozu a hard blow.
This news caused fierce debate among the three major factions in the city.
The attacking faction thought this was a great opportunity, and strongly advocated gathering a large army to go out of the city to attack the Yaozu and win a big battle.
The stubborn faction thinks it is too risky, so it is better to wait for the opportunity to send troops to open a gap for the reinforcements, to lure the opponent into the city, and to defend together.
The breakout faction felt that this was the best time to break out, and they should take the opportunity to drive the main force out of the encirclement and enter the Black Forest.
In the future, whether to attack or retreat, the initiative is in hand, and it is extremely difficult for the Yaozu to eat them.
The three parties debated for a long time, and finally decided that the offensive faction will be the main attack, the steadfast faction will stay behind, and the breakout faction will assist.
If there is a chance to defeat the monster army, they will attack with all their strength. If things cannot be violated, then the attacking faction will send reinforcements from Baqi City to enter the city.
The breakout faction will take the opportunity to break out of the siege, and will support them outside in the future, so as not to leave Twenty-one City alone and helpless.
After everyone agrees, act according to the plan.
If all goes well, they have a chance of achieving their goals.
But they never expected that the so-called Baqi City reinforcements were a trap.
In fact, Baqi City has secretly surrendered to the Yaozu, and is in cahoots with Devil City.
The troops from Baqi City came here not to support Twenty-One City, but to destroy the city.
Therefore, after Xuanyuan Sanfu led his army out of the city, he easily defeated a demon army and joined the troops of Baqi City.
It's just that when they still wanted to continue to expand their victories, the monster clan army from all directions came to surround and kill them.
Xuanyuan Three Axes saw that the situation was not good, and after joining forces with the troops of Baqi City, they led their troops back to the city.
Ye Xiu led the army to charge and break through the chaos, but the Yaozu immediately sent out a troop to pursue him.
At that time, Ye Xiu already felt that there was something wrong with Yaozu's performance.
It's just that he didn't have time to think about it, and he also entered the city for the reinforcements of Baqi City. The defenders had more strength, and he was very happy.
Unexpectedly, the troops of Baqi City immediately turned their backs as soon as they entered the city.
They launched an attack suddenly, wielding butcher knives at their comrades who had just fought side by side, killing the defenders by surprise.
Xuanyuan Sanfu was seriously injured by Liu Sheng Shibingwei, the commander of the Baqi City army. If his subordinates hadn't tried their best to rescue him, he would have died on the spot.
Yan Qing is the deputy general of Xuanyuan Three Axe, guarding Xuanyuan Three Axe and retreating to the army.
The rebels took the opportunity to destroy the defensive formation in the city, occupied the city gate, and let the monster army in.
Hu Tieshu led the army to resist, but the army's morale was chaotic, the general situation was gone, and he was powerless.
In desperation, the human troops could only break through and retreat through the gate on the other side.
The Yaozu has been plotting for a long time, how can they let the tribe's troops escape and start a full-scale siege.
The rebels in Baqi City even stared at the human troops, biting frantically, and a large number of soldiers died under the swords of the rebels.
At the critical moment, Ye Xiu's troops came back and opened an escape channel for the human troops.
It was his troops who fought desperately that saved hundreds of thousands of clan troops and escaped from the siege of the monster clan in the chaos.
But most of the Terran troops still failed to escape.
In this battle, the human race suffered extremely heavy losses, and more than seven pavilions were lost by ten pavilions.
Only seven of the eighteen legendary powerhouses could escape, four of them were seriously injured, and Ye Xiu also lost an arm.
Xuanyuan Three Axes failed to survive in the end, he left in order to cover Yan Qing, and finally chose to blew himself up, and died with the pursuers.
The human troops who escaped from Twenty-One City were not safe, and were still hunted down by the monster clan.
Most people were killed and scattered, hiding in the boundless wilderness.
They are still fighting now, and there are only a few hundred thousand human troops in formation.
There are more than 5,000 people in the underground base where Yan Qing is located, and they also control dozens of small troops within a radius of a hundred miles, with a total strength of about 30,000.
In addition, there are five legendary powerhouses, commanding three troops, scattered in several other areas.
Usually, everyone acts independently without interfering with each other. The main task is to harass the monster clan's rear, kill and injure the living forces, and assassinate the rebel generals.
"Why don't you withdraw from the Federation?" Wang Rui asked a little puzzled.
Don't look at these troops going deep into the enemy's rear, but if they want to withdraw, they can still be done.
It is true that tens of millions of troops cannot escape the detection of the Yaozu, but it is not difficult for a small group of hundreds or thousands of people to hide their whereabouts.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for these people to deal with the monster race behind enemy lines.
"We can't retreat. Now our task is to harass behind the enemy lines and contain the power of the monster race."
Ye Xiu shook his head, with unyielding flames shining in his eyes.
"We have only hundreds of thousands of people, and retreating back will not help the battle situation much. It is better to fight behind enemy lines, which will help the front line even more."
Yan Qing sighed and explained with a smile.
Wang Rui understood that these hundreds of thousands of people have become abandoned children for the Federation, so let them fend for themselves behind the enemy lines.
It's best if you can make a big noise. If you can't, it's not a pity to die.
This seems cruel and unfair. If you think about it to the extreme, it is the Federation's ruthless abandonment of the rebels.
But wars are so cruel, especially race wars. When a race survives or dies, the commander can only consider the overall situation and make sacrifices.
People like Yan Qing are very aware of this, but they accept it calmly and live to death.
Wang Rui was silent for a long time, abandoned the negative emotions in his heart, and said calmly:
"If you want to make a big noise and cause heavy damage to the Yaozu, which ones are the most suitable goals?"
...
Above the gray sky, a huge vulture hovered high, its eyes were full of greed and ferocity.
On the ground below, there were dozens of corpses lying here and there, including human beings and monster beasts.
The blood that is still gurgling, seduces the vulture's desire.
The vulture suddenly swooped down, grabbing a human corpse below with two steel claws. The skin was fair and the meat should be delicious.
puff~
A cold light flashed, before the vulture's claws touched the corpse, his head exploded first, and fell heavily to the ground.
A slender figure appeared next to the vulture, and reached out to pull out the dagger that pierced its head.
"Is this a wild monster, or a scout from the monster clan?"
Wang Rui walked to Yan Qing from behind, and looked at Vulture curiously.
"Neither, it should be the tamer of the beast tamer in Baqi City. It is usually freed and summoned at any time when needed."
Yan Qing kicked away the vulture, which was at least C-level, and solemnly put away several human corpses on the ground.
"Then if we kill the vulture, will the whereabouts be exposed?"
Wang Rui swiftly put away the corpses of monsters on the ground one by one, Yan Qing didn't care about these, he needed it very much.
"No, the trainer can have tens of thousands of animals, and the relationship with the animals is not very close.
Unless he happened to attach his mental power to this tame beast, he wouldn't have discovered it so quickly.
Besides, battles often occurred in the wilderness, and it was common for a few tamers to die, which would not attract the attention of the tamers. "
Yan Qing said firmly, looking into the distance with cold eyes.
"That's good. This time we sneaked into City 21. The matter is very important. Can the enemy be aware of it in advance?"
Wang Rui also followed Yan Qing's gaze, and No. 21 City was in that direction.
"I can see that among the three key goals we provided, you really want to go to City No. 20. Why did you choose City No. 21 in the end?"
Yan Qing suddenly turned his head and looked at Wang Rui with some puzzlement.
"Because I want to kill those traitors who betrayed the human race with my own hands!"
Wang Rui smiled, his tone was calm, but his eyes were deep.
In the underground base, Yan Qing and Ye Xiu proposed three key targets behind enemy lines.
Among them, the most important city for Yaozu is No. 22 City.
There is the base camp of the demon clan from the demon domain, at least one million demon troops are stationed there, and their strength is the strongest.
This time the monster clan invaded humans, the Singer family in Undead City could only be regarded as pawns, rushing to kill the younger brother in front of the boss.
The real commanders are actually a few nobles from the Demon Realm.
According to the information obtained by Yan Qing, three families of nobles from the Demon Realm came this time, namely the Bimon, Yanyao and Snowyao clans.
Among the three families, the Bimeng family is the head, followed by the Yan and Xue families.
Compared with them, the Soul Eater Monster Clan is a younger brother.
The one who presided over the battle in the eighteenth city before was the strong man of the Yan Yao clan.
The battle to besiege City No. 21 was commanded by a strong Beamon tribe.
Now that City No. 21 has been conquered, the strong Behemoth tribe has led an army to join forces with Yan Yao to attack the front line of City No. 15.
And the strong men of the Snow Monster Clan have been sitting in No. 22 City, stabilizing the rear of the Monster Clan.
If they could break into City No. 22 and kill the strong Snow Monster Clan, there would be chaos in the rear of the Monster Clan.
At that time, the Yaozu will not be able to fight at ease on the front line. Even if they don't withdraw all the troops, at least they will have to mobilize some of their forces back to greatly reduce the pressure on the front line.
But Wang Rui ruled out this option first.
Too much danger is secondary, the key is to kill the strong Snow Monster clan, the consequences may be very serious.
Maybe the Snow Demon Clan in the Demon Realm will be furious, send another ten million troops to the Human Realm, and send dozens of legends and a few epics.
In that case, Wang Rui was not helping the people, but causing trouble.
After all, the strength of the human race is still too weak, and it really pissed off the monster race completely, and most of them can't cover it.
The remaining two targets are in City No. 20 and City No. 21 respectively.
The army of the Undead City is stationed in the No. 20 city, and the troops of the Baqi City and the Devil City are stationed in the No. 21 city.
Yes, Baqi City and Devil City are in collusion, this time it is the No. 21 City that jointly sent troops to attack.
The two cities have a common feature, that is, they hold a large number of human prisoners of war.
City No. 20 is mainly people who were captured in the early war, and City No. 21 is people who were captured after the city was broken.
No matter which city's captives are released, it can greatly supplement Yan Qing's combat power and cause great turmoil to the Yaozu's rear.
However, if you want to save people, save hundreds of thousands of people, it is more difficult than killing the leaders of the three nobles of the Yaozu.
Unless there are enough troops to take down the city, Wang Rui can't think of any way to save so many people.
Therefore, Wang Rui's main purpose of this operation is to assassinate important people.
He really wanted to go to City No. 20, because there were the soul-devouring demon clan and the lackeys of the underworld that he hated the most.
If there is a big scene there, Wang Rui should be very happy and relieve his hatred.
But Wang Rui restrained this tempting thought very well.
He told Yan Qing that he hated traitors the most, and that he had to kill them to relieve his hatred, which was only one of the reasons.
The more important reason is that the troops of Asura City have all gone to the front line, while the main force of Baqi City is still behind.
Wang Rui learned that Baqi City is not monolithic, there are surrender factions, and there are main combat factions who insist on resisting the war.
The people who came to attack City 21 this time were all the leaders of the Surrender Faction.
If this group of people can be killed, it will definitely deter all forces in Baqi City.
They are likely to split internally, and the main fighters may be able to regain the initiative.
In that case, the forces of Baqi City and Devil City will definitely be withdrawn, the forces of the Monster Race will be weakened, and the Human Race will be able to return to a disadvantage on the battlefield.
Another reason is that the troops in City 21 are relatively weak. I don't want City 20 to have the Soul-devouring monster clan sitting in the city, and the strong are like clouds.
Regarding Wang Rui's answer, Yan Qing was noncommittal.
She thought for a while, and then asked, "What are you going to do in Twenty-one City? What do you need me to do for you?"
Wang Rui didn't answer immediately, but confirmed: "Is your information reliable? There are conflicts between people in Baqi and Devil City?"
"Of course, the two cities have been at war for hundreds of years, and the hatred between them is not so easy to resolve."
Seeing Wang Rui's solemn expression, Yan Qing said patiently:
"The Yaozu don't trust the people of Baqi City very much. After capturing the Twenty-One City, their troops were asked to stay where they are.
The main force of Devil City went to the front line, and the troops staying here, on the surface, said they were joint defense, but they were actually monitoring. "
"Is that so..." Wang Rui asked again: "How many legendary experts are there in City 21?"
"At least four, maybe five or six." Yan Qing said without thinking.
"So much difference!" Wang Rui was a little speechless, four and six are the same concept!
"Because these two families have a profession called Shadow Warrior, which is a kind of profession that hides in the dark and never shows up in public.
We can only confirm that they must each have a troop of shadow fighters, but we cannot determine the strength of the leader. "
Yan Qing helplessly spread his hands, obviously the human troops have suffered from the shadow warriors.
Wang Rui didn't dwell on this question anymore, "Then what are the identities of the four legendary powerhouses that can be determined?"
"Baqi City is the General Yagyu Shibingwei, he is a ghost sword master, he is good at wielding a pair of heart ghost swords, and has legendary peak strength.
The other is the dancer Senryu Kyojiro, who is good at the ecstasy sword dance, and his strength is in the middle of the legendary level. "
Yan Qing paused, and continued to introduce.
"The commander-in-chief of Devil City is Yashen Genshiro, who is also a legendary peak ghost sword master, and possesses a top-grade immortal martial soul soldier eyebrow poison, which is extremely terrifying.
Another person is Shiranui Huanan, the leader of the ghoul army, a demon servant in the late legendary stage, who is said to be immortal, so don't choose him if you assassinate him. "
hiss~
Wang Rui gasped when he heard that, he felt that they were all scary characters, they couldn't afford to mess with them!
"Hey, General Yan, let's study it carefully, tell me the detailed information about these people..."
Yan Qing: "..."
