Chapter 1441: Liucheng's Sharp Blade Can Kill a Half-Saint!
Today's second update: Chapter 1441! 2/2!
...
"This place..."
Xu Kun looked at the location of Liucheng on the map with a serious expression. Zang Ba, who was standing beside him, heard what Xu Kun meant and said with certainty: "God Kun wants to say that Liucheng has a special geographical location, right?"
Xu Kun nodded in affirmation.
Zang Ba then lay on the map and drew two lines. After he drew them, everyone's faces suddenly became clear!
Where Liucheng is located is a piece of open land in the mountains. It is a transportation fortress with many connections. To the southwest, the army can be sent along the Daling River, turn to the Laoha River, and finally go south along the Luan River to reach the hub of the battle between the two tribes, Xifengkou!
And behind Liucheng is the hinterland of the Wuhuan in Liaodong, which is the vast Liaohe Plain, which is the fertile land that Yuding Master and Apprentice discussed with Xu Kun before, and will be used to settle the Wuyue Demon Cat Tribe in the future!
To the north of Liucheng is Wuhuan Mountain, the sacred mountain of the entire Wuhuan!
There is another route, which is to turn south from Liucheng, cross Bailang Mountain, and reach the coast of Bohai Sea. Go southwest along the coast, and you will reach Shanhaiguan, a natural barrier!
The two lines drawn by Zang Ba are the two routes for attacking the imperial capital base city from Liucheng, which also correspond to the two important places of Xifengkou and Shanhaiguan, which are the focus of the imperial capital's defense this time!
"Sima Dai, are you sure that the remaining Wuhuan troops have set off to Xifengkou?"
Sima Dai nodded with a pale face: "The number is no less than three million!"
This time, Wuhuan moved in full force, forming a total of five million troops, but before they could achieve any success, they died more than two million. Since Sima Dai confirmed that the remaining three million troops had already set off to Xifengkou, what was the situation of Liucheng's troops?
"How many soldiers are there in Liucheng?"
"About 100,000!" Sima Dai said affirmatively.
Akali beside him also nodded.
100,000?
Hearing this, everyone looked relaxed, as if they didn't take the 100,000 troops seriously!
However, Xu Kun noticed Sima Dai's unnatural expression and asked, "Is there anything different about these 100,000 Wuhuan soldiers?"
Sima Dai said hurriedly, "They must be the elite of Wuhuan!"
"What kind of elite?" Xu Kun seemed to understand something.
Sima Dai took a deep breath, and then faced everyone's curious eyes and explained: "When we noticed that there was still an army left in Liucheng, we were also curious at first."
"With the idea of finding out the enemy's situation, I left the boss's pet outside the city, and Akali and I sneaked into Liucheng!"
"You don't know until you see it, you'll be shocked when you see it!"
"This Liucheng army of about 100,000 people, ordinary soldiers are all at the level of war generals. Upon closer inspection, it was found that their army formation has a war king for every 100 people, a heavenly king for every 1,000 people, and an emperor for every 10,000 people. A full 100,000 troops are led by a semi-saint-level strongman!"
Hiss~!
The originally relaxed expressions of the crowd suddenly became extremely nervous.
Sikong Ting counted on his fingers and said: "If you calculate it this way, a 100,000-strong army has one semi-saint, ten emperors, one hundred heavenly kings, and one thousand war kings?"
This...
Everyone was sweating profusely. With the foundation of Wuhuan, it is not easy to form such a strong army!
But such a strong army did not march with the main army, but temporarily stopped in Liucheng. What was the intention?
Xu Kun looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the strategy of sending a surprise force is not only thought of by us, but also planned by Wuhuan!"
Hearing this, everyone cast curious eyes.
Zhang Wenyuan said puzzledly: "Commander Xu, you said this is a surprise force?"
"Yes!" Xu Kun said affirmatively.
"Then why is it stationed in Liucheng? Could it be that Wuhuan came out in full force this time, and Wuhuan was afraid that the hinterland would be hit hard, so they stationed a strong army in the fortress of Liucheng?"
Xu Kun shook his head: "What you said makes sense, but Wuhuan is not as powerful as those wolf tribes. Such a strong army must be carefully built by selling everything. It is for a sharp blade. How can you put a sharp blade at the door of your home for self-defense!"
"As for why you said the surprise force did not move, it's because the time has not come!"
The time has not come?
Yang Yao, who was standing by, exclaimed and was the first to react: "Such a powerful army is waiting for a war to break out at Xifengkou, and then dispatch after all the attention of the human race is tied up!"
Soon, he was refuted by others: "That's not right. Even if they want to launch a surprise attack, they can just place them behind the army. Liucheng is so far away from Xifengkou, how can they achieve a surprise attack?"
And Xu Kun's next words not only answered everyone's doubts, but also made everyone's heart skip a beat.
"Who said that this surprise force must kill at Xifengkou? What if it turns to Bailang Mountain, enters Shanhaiguan along the coast of Bohai Sea, and directly attacks the heart of the imperial capital?"
Boom!
Everyone's ears were like thunder rolling, and they looked at the battle map in front of them again. The two lines outlined by Zang Ba were particularly eye-catching at this moment!
Yes, if the troops were sent from Liucheng and turned to the coast, Shanhaiguan would be occupied by the wolf tribe in the north. Without the imperial capital's spies, this army could march straight in without any obstacles!
Based on the surprise attack just mentioned by Xu Kun, and what Yang Yao said about the outbreak of the war at Xifengkou, all the attention of the imperial capital's defense forces was tied up. It was inevitable that the large open land to the east of the imperial capital would be without any defense!
Although the direction from the imperial capital to Shanhaiguan is the top priority of the entire imperial capital's defense, the idea of the imperial capital's top leaders this time is to get rid of Wuhuan first, and then wait for reinforcements from other base cities, and start the ultimate battle with the opponent's wolf army!
Both sides seem to be buying time. Wuhuan uses the lives of their own family members to delay the imperial capital's defense forces, and the imperial capital wants to quickly get rid of Wuhuan to prepare for the war!
But just like the imperial capital's top leaders have proposed, using the strategy of surprise troops to disintegrate the Wuhuan army gathered by all parties and reduce the pressure of defense, why doesn't Wuhuan want to take the first city and win the first merit before the arrival of the wolf army behind them?
In everyone's thinking, it is impossible for Wuhuan to swallow the entire imperial capital with only one part of its strength!
But Wuhuan is not satisfied with the identity of cannon fodder, and wants to eat a fat man in one breath?
Then these 100,000 elites are the surprise troops used by Wuhuan to make achievements!
Once a war of millions of people on millions of people breaks out at Xifengkou, all eyes will naturally be attracted to this direction!
Today, the imperial capital lacks the most important defensive force!
That is the ability of the Sky Eye to see through the world!
In the past, as long as the Sky Eye was stationed in the imperial capital, such a surprise force would have been a fantasy to enter Shanhaiguan and directly take the imperial capital base city, and it would even be ambushed and killed by the Sky Eye!
Including the human high-level officials, including the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry present, they have not yet woken up from the reality that the Sky Eye is not there.
Even if the three thousand White Horse Volunteers led by Gongsun Bogui were deployed in the eastern battlefield, but in the case of deliberate calculations, this 100,000-man army led by the semi-saint level is likely to swallow the White Horse Volunteers in one bite!
At that time, it would be difficult to mobilize troops to intercept!
The opponent's elite will rush directly to the foot of the imperial capital base city!
The most terrifying thing is that the Wuhuan army on the other side of Xifengkou has delayed the pace of the human army. If the human army sends a small group of troops to help the imperial capital, not only will it fail, but it is likely to be ambushed and killed by the surprise army!
But if a large army is sent back to defend, it will face the risk of being attacked from both sides and losing the Xifengkou position first!
In any case, once the opponent's surprise force takes effect, it will be a disaster for the entire imperial capital!
After listening to Xu Kun's analysis, everyone dared not breathe, and their backs were soaked with cold sweat.
"There are masters in Wuhuan!" Someone sighed.
Everyone nodded involuntarily. This is indeed a brilliant move, enough to finalize the battle before the reinforcements of both sides arrive!
"Sima Dai, you did a great job this time, and it should be counted as a great achievement!" Xu Kun was also afraid.
Fortunately, in order to expand the results of the battle, he released Sima Dai and others to go out to gather intelligence, otherwise the 100,000-strong army of Liucheng would kill the imperial capital without anyone noticing, and then it would be too late to regret it!
Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked him.
Zhang Wenyuan looked at Xu Kun and said, "Since we have guessed the opponent's strategic intention, we can now report the information back to the army so that the army can take precautions early!"
If we can predict the opponent's movement trajectory, we can deploy in advance. In this way, the effect of the surprise troops will be greatly reduced. At the very least, we will not leave the opponent with an imperial capital base city with almost no defense force to occupy!
Xu Kun nodded. He had already contacted Xiaojiu and Mochou in the depths of his soul, and asked Kunmen and Xiaojiu to convey the opponent's movement and make plans early!
"What should we do now? There is residual power of the Holy Way on Sima Dai's arm. I can't repair it for the time being!" Li Dongbi treated Sima Dai, but he couldn't regenerate the broken arm, so he asked.
Zhang Wenyuan also looked at Xu Kun: "God Kun, let's retreat. It's useless to stay here!"
Xu Kun frowned and didn't answer directly.
After looking at the map, he asked, "You said that we are now prepared to guard against this surprise force, so how can we deal with it?"
This...
Zang Ba said, "It is difficult to deal with it. After entering Shanhaiguan, there is a large open area. It is wishful thinking to ambush and kill a 100,000-man army!"
"We can only use elite troops to stop it, just like we did with the wolf tribe's million-man vanguard army before. In my opinion, this 100,000-man army is much more difficult to deal with than the previous million-man mob!"
They all started at the level of generals, and this 100,000-man army is indeed very strong!
Sometimes, the more people in the army, the better, because the army is long, and you can't expect a million people to hit the same direction!
In the battle of the large army, the main tactic is to add fuel to the fire. The front army dies and the rear army makes up for it until one side is completely defeated!
Not to mention a 100,000-man elite, even a 10,000-man elite, in the face of a million-man army, can rush straight into the enemy camp and beat the other side to the ground!
"The situation is not much better. We just need to guard against the enemy's surprise attack to prevent the capital from falling. And if we can't stop this army of 100,000, or if we stop this side and Xifengkou falls again..."
Everyone looked at each other. There was no other way. With the power of a large base city in the capital, it was already stretched to the limit to resist the wolf tribe Wuhuan tribe that came out in full force!
Yang Yao listened to Xu Kun's tone and suddenly widened her eyes: "Brother Xiaokun, you don't want to..."
Xu Kun nodded slightly: "It's the same surprise force. Now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. Why can't we swallow it before the enemy enters the pass?"
"No!"
Everyone shouted hurriedly.
Zang Ba and others said nervously: "Commander Xu, we are going north only to relieve the siege. In terms of military strength, how can we compete with such an army of 100,000!"
Hao Meng also said: "Yes, we have less than a thousand people, not enough to fill the teeth of these 100,000 people, not to mention that the other side's commander is a half-saint!"
Even Yang Yao, who always trusted Xu Kun, held Xu Kun's big hand and said: "Brother Xiaokun, don't be impulsive!"
Xu Kun smiled at Yang Yao and said: "Yaoyao, don't forget to take medicine!"
Ah?
Yang Yao was stunned, and saw Xu Kun took out the jade bottle and poured a drop of liquid on the palms of each of them.
Then he took it by himself, and the next moment, Xu Kun's body was full of rosy clouds!
There was fire, thunder, poison, and ice...
Yang Yao's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she said in a lost voice: "Brother Xiaokun, are you back to your state?"
Xu Kun grinned, spread his hands, and the Six Ding Divine Fire and the Nether Ghost Fire jumped in his palms!
Under Sima Dai's horrified gaze, he put his hands together, and the familiar blood-red flame dyed everyone's cheeks red!
"Can you defeat 100,000 troops in this way?"
"Can you kill a half-saint in this way?"
Zhang Wenyuan, Zang Ba and others were dumbfounded.
Yang Yao said with a sense of relief: "If it is Brother Xiao Kun in his prime, even if the opponent is a half-saint, what can he do!"
Huh?
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were confused.
Yang Yao then explained to everyone that Xu Kun, who had previously shown to be extremely powerful, was actually greatly restricted in strength!
Now, he has completely freed his hands, is not afraid of any opponent, and is in a complete state of being able to sweep away the geniuses of all races of the same generation!
Gulp, gulp!
The sound of swallowing saliva was endless, even a powerful king-level strongman like Zhang Wenyuan had a twitch on his face.
You said that Xu Kun, who killed the emperor realm like killing a chicken, was greatly restricted in strength?
How abnormal will Xu Kun be in the complete state?
"Sima Dai, have you seen the appearance of that half-saint?"
Sima Dai quickly used the power of shadow to outline a shadowy figure!
After seeing the other person's appearance, Zhang Wenyuan and others were shocked.
"Tadun!"
