Chapter 1505: Continue to Peck at Each Other

~11 min read 2,182 words

"Three died, seven were seriously injured, and eleven were slightly injured." He Lingchuan looked up when he heard the sound and said impolitely: "Your attrition rate is not low. You must take good care of the soldiers under your command."

"First there were seven violent bears, and then I encountered the Xiluo army personally supervised by Lu Wushuang..." Xin Yi paused here and shook his head, "Forget it, no excuses. I will be careful next time, I will definitely pay attention!"

Wrong is wrong, will the battlefield listen to his excuses?

He sighed again: "The true power of the army is really powerful, my divine ability magic is almost useless on the battlefield."

Whether it was Beijia's true power or the Yuheng army's true power, they were surprisingly concentrated. This made the defensive ability of the soldiers on both sides, especially the resistance to divine ability magic, greatly increase. When Xin Yi first entered the battlefield, he was particularly unable to adapt.

Usually, when he cast a divine ability, the opponent would be dead or half-disabled; but the Beijia soldiers on the battlefield could still jump around and chase him to hack him.

"The battlefield is the world of martial artists." He Lingchuan also agreed, "If you want divine ability magic to take effect on the battlefield, it's best not to use it directly on people. In fact, casting spells on the battlefield has always been a delicate art."

Xin Yi felt the same: "By the way, General He, when are we preparing to counterattack?"

Eleven days and five battles, all were the opponent attacking, and they defending.

When will the offense and defense change? "What's the rush?" He Lingchuan didn't look up, "Play with them more."

"Ah?" Just keep being beaten passively? The two were familiar, so Xin Yi asked straightforwardly, "What does this mean? Just being beaten without fighting back, wouldn't the opposite side be unscrupulous?"

"When did I say just being beaten without fighting back?" He Lingchuan pointed to the east bank, "I ask you, what do you think of Beijia's several attacks?"

"No effect."

Wen Daolun on the side rolled his eyes, this Mr. Xin also learned to say correct nonsense.

"Why? Obviously, it's a carefully organized attack."

Did this General He want to say that his command was too awesome, and the opponent couldn't get on the shore? Hmm, no, think about it the other way around.

"The opposite side is mediocre. Looking at the vast army, I always feel that the fighting style is a bit rigid, and the reaction is not very fast." In fact, looking at the Beijia army alone, one couldn't see any problems, but when it sang a rival show with He Lingchuan, it quickly revealed its flaws.

"Where is the problem?"

"Commander-in-chief." This time Xin Yi didn't hesitate, "Beijia's soldiers are still fierce."

"In the first battle, I thought Bai Mojie was deliberately fighting like this, secretly digging a hole for me to jump into. After all, he had a big halo, was a top student of the Martial Achievement Hall, and was a great general who quelled the Xiluo rebellion, and even Lu Wushuang only served as a military supervisor for Xiluo, two levels lower than him. I thought, this person at least has two brushes?" For Bai Mojie, He Lingchuan's information was incomplete, so he was inevitably cautious in the first battle. "After fighting these few battles later, I was sure, nothing more than that, hard to be the commander-in-chief."

Once an expert makes a move, one knows if there is one.

Xin Yi wondered: "If he didn't have this talent, and the Demon Emperor still let him sit in the position of commander-in-chief, isn't it a child's play?"

Wen Daolun intervened: "Mr. Xin has been involved in officialdom less, so he doesn't know the tricks in here."

Before he followed Zhong Shengguang to the Panlong Wasteland, he had also been rolling in the Xiluo Royal Court.

"I would like to hear the details."

"I'm just inferring, you can listen to it for now. The father and son of the Bai family both died on the battlefield, and it was in the most critical battle against the Yuan Nation, dying vigorously. Reasonably and emotionally, the Demon Emperor should also give extra care to Bai Mojie, the only seedling of the Bai family. If he appears thin and ungrateful, the subordinates will be cold-hearted, so how many officials will still be willing to work for him and sell their lives for him?" Wen Daolun laughed, "The Demon Emperor promoting Bai Mojie is to show the hundred officials, and it is to follow the set of order in officialdom."

This set of order, the Demon Emperor not only has to follow but also has to take the lead in executing.

Xin Yi said "Oh": "Relying on the shade of ancestors. His father was a General, and Bai Mojie is currently a miscellaneous general."

Wen Daolun looked at him with a smile, thinking to himself, aren't you the same? Xin Yi, as a descendant of the Wu Huan Immortal in the human world, obtained the opportunity to enter Lingshan for "advanced studies," just like Bai Mojie was selected into the Martial Achievement Hall.

"The Demon Emperor sent him to the Xiluo Nation to quell the rebellion, just to give him a credit. After all, he led the Beijia army, and as soon as he entered Xiluo, the rebel army would mostly look at the wind and flee. It seems that Bai Mojie will be promoted later."

These credits and qualifications are prepared for promotion.

"This is a routine operation in Beijia. After all, officialdom has the rules of officialdom. The four-hundred-year-old big empire has too many aspects to maintain." He Lingchuan laughed, "However, the rules of officialdom are not applicable to the battlefield."

Officialdom talks about human feelings, battlefield relies on ability.

"This set of 'reason and emotion' doesn't work on the front line." He pointed to the big river, "Bai Mojie is not only a problem of lack of experience, he fights in a rigid way, seemingly cautious, but actually lacks spirituality. No matter how many cases the Martial Achievement Hall explains and how many theories it imparts, it can't teach talent and talent."

Understanding of war, many times comes from the instinct of the commander-in-chief. If you ask him why it is like this and why it is not like that, he may not be able to answer.

But he can win the battle.

This is called, not enough to be told to outsiders.

Otherwise, how can there be that old saying, it is easy to get three armies, but hard to find one general.

Xin Yi understood on one hand, but didn't understand on the other: "Since it can be defeated, why still entangle with him?"

He Lingchuan and Wen Daolun looked at each other, and the latter laughed: "The mission Commander Zhong gave us is to guard Yuheng City well and resist Beijia's attack. We won't be like Bai Mojie and cause extra trouble!"

He Lingchuan continued: "Bai Mojie's problem, the Demon Emperor may not know it in his heart, but he still sent him here, probably for two possibilities: either, he feels that Yuheng City can be easily taken, just like the rebellion in the Xiluo Nation, so he transferred Bai Mojie nearby, after all, he was originally in the Xiluo Nation, closest to the Jinchi front line; or, the Demon Emperor plans to deter the Panlongcheng with the Maohe Plain, taking us as a bargaining chip to threaten Panlongcheng, and didn't intend to take action immediately."

"In this case, if we are too strong and eye-catching, it will trigger Beijia's anger, and we must be given some color." Everyone knows that Beijia cannot lose. "If we defeat Bai Mojie today, Beijia will send more powerful figures to the stage tomorrow; if we defeat these fifteen thousand people today, Beijia might send fifteen thousand people tomorrow."

The war potential of Beijia, how can a small Yuheng City resist it? He Lingchuan asked Xin Yi: "Do you want to continue to spar with Bai Mojie, or do you want to fight for your life with the fierce general sent by Beijia, such as Fushanlie?"

Beijia has famous generals like clouds, and there are more than just those few. If any one comes, it will be enough for Yuheng City to drink a pot.

Xin Yi waved his hands repeatedly: "If you say so, of course I choose Bai Mojie, I just hope to spar with him more!"

Then maintain the status quo and continue to "peck at each other." This He Lingchuan, really has eight hundred heart eyes.

Xin Yi secretly sighed, in war, there is no deceit in war.

The three laughed loudly.

In the following ten days, the Jinchi front line fought for each other, the battle was intense, and it was exceptionally lively.

Since the war began, the previous twenty days were the most fulfilling twenty days since He Lingchuan formed the Ximo Army Corps. The generals were passionate, the soldiers were ready for battle, the people of Yuheng City fully assisted, and the war machine operated smoothly.

The two main forces of the defensive side, the Yuheng City Army and the Ximo Army, just started to cooperate and originally had some friction. Not to mention anything else, there were many thorns like Sha Wei in the Ximo Army, who caused a lot of conflicts with the Yuheng Army as soon as they arrived. But facing such a strong enemy as Beijia, the two armies had to put down their prejudices and merge quickly.

After these twenty-odd days of fighting, the army under He Lingchuan initially developed a tacit understanding.

Bai Mojie not only attacked hard but also thought of many tricks, but He Lingchuan saw the moves and broke them on the spot.

The battlefield situation changed rapidly, but he could always grasp the key points. Xin Yi observed from the side and finally was convinced, deeply understanding what "talent is instinct" means.

After fighting so many battles, the Yuheng City army made rapid progress, but in all fairness, He Lingchuan also knew that the soldiers under his command were still a bit short and were not yet a hundred-battle division. If Yuheng City was just an isolated city on the plain, it would have been surrounded by the Beijia army by now.

Fortunately, there was a big river, and the Beijia army's advance was always not so smooth. Any movement on the shore and boats could be observed by the sentries of Yuheng in the first time, and it was difficult to launch a real surprise attack.

And many monsters in the Beijia army who were good at charging, such as black cattle and green giant antelopes, couldn't exert their skills in the water and narrow places, and would get seasick and vomit when encountering big waves on boats, while apes were particularly adaptable to rugged terrain and big waves and water.

These few points made the enemy commander Bai Mojie very annoyed. The opponent's overall strength was clearly not as good as his own, but he always occupied the geographical advantage, and was very resilient, not afraid to entangle with the Beijia army at all.

He had heard that the Panlongcheng army was more resilient than Populus euphratica before he came, so why was the Maohe Plain's also like this? Of course, He Lingchuan had always advocated courtesy, not only Beijia crossing the river to invade, but the Yuheng City army also often went to Beijia's rear to make trouble.

He knew his own shortcomings very well, so he didn't send troops to forcibly cross the river and fight Beijia to the death, but sent several elite small teams to sneak to the enemy's rear via Longchuan, executing the "enemy stays, I harass" tactic, specifically doing wicked things like assassination, Mobile Corps Commander, arson, and robbery.

The Beijia and Xiluo armies strengthened their patrols at night, but the sleeping army was always awakened by huge explosions.

Bai Mojie of course also wanted to follow suit, but the military and civilians of Yuheng City mostly stayed in the city, with siege protection, so the harassment tactic was very difficult to succeed.

And at this time, rebellions were everywhere in the Jinchi Nation, and several county towns had incidents of killing officials.

Whether it was civilians or powerful families rising up, they first caught local officials and killed them, on one hand to vent their hatred, and on the other to block the enemy. The ruler of the Jinchi Nation sent troops to suppress several, but not only failed to extinguish the fire, but instead ignited the powder keg of the people's emotions.

Once the opposite side was in chaos, Yuheng City immediately sent spies to take the opportunity to fan the flames and make waves. ===== CHAPTER 1506 =====

Once the opposing side fell into chaos, Yuheng City immediately dispatched spies to seize the opportunity to stir up trouble and fan the flames.
