Chapter 846: Fire Line Trading

Wei Yuan stood in the air, gazing at the front line where slaughter was still ongoing, and the Shaman tribe legions constantly moving toward both wings.

In this battle, the Shaman tribe did not deliberately try to outflank the flanks. One reason was that Qingming was much larger than in the past; if they wanted to outflank, the front line would stretch to thousands of *li*.

However, as the Shaman tribe's subsequent troops arrived one after another, the front line inevitably began to extend to both wings; otherwise, it would be difficult to deploy so many troops and exert the advantage in troop strength.

In this round of fighting, the Shaman tribe changed their tactics, which was to always maintain a frontal attack without stopping. This tactic looked somewhat clumsy, but when the attack lasted for a whole day and night, Wei Yuan had keenly sensed something wrong.

The defenders on the Qingming defense line had been rotated twice, while the Shaman tribe attack legions had been replaced six times. Every time a legion was crippled, a new legion would top it. In this way, the Qingming defenders could never get rest, and Wei Yuan had to pull out the reserve troops in his hands to top it, withdrawing the troops that had fought for too long to rest.

In just one day, the troops withdrawn from the front line for rotation had already exceeded three hundred thousand, and the Qingming military strength began to be tight.

But the Shaman army's tactics did not stop there. While maintaining the frontal offensive, two million-level legions began to move toward both wings again. This time it was not an extended attack, but an intention to find weak areas on the side, establish independent positions, and then launch an attack.

Wei Yuan had to mobilize reserve legions again, each with one hundred thousand troops following the two legions, and at the same time mobilized engineering troops to prepare mobile fortresses to follow the troops. There were also chariot units on standby in the rear.

The two Shaman tribe legions continued to penetrate, taking the twenty thousand people Wei Yuan used to respond further and further away from the main position. Just as Wei Yuan was worried, he suddenly discovered that the Shaman tribe legion in the east was no longer penetrating, but began to camp on the spot, preparing to attack.

This Shaman tribe legion had only moved more than a thousand *li*, and this was on the outer line. Wei Yuan was on the inner line, only six hundred *li* away from the main position.

It was a good thing that the Shaman tribe flank legion stopped here, but why did they suddenly stop penetrating? The legion in the west was still circling; if they walked a little further, they would reach Li Zhi's defense zone.

At this time, a piece of intelligence was screened out by Human World Fireworks and sent to Wei Yuan. It turned out that just two days ago, a thirty-thousand-strong Shaman tribe legion moved east, preparing to insert between Hanyang Pass and Qingming, wanting to cut off the connection between Qingming and Xijin.

But this legion suddenly encountered an attack from the direction of Hanyang Pass. It was said that Xu Waner took action, beheaded the commander and deputy commander of the Shaman tribe legion with one sword, and then retreated unscathed. The Shaman tribe legion lost its command, immediately fell into chaos, was slaughtered by the Xu family's private army for a hundred *li*, suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and was routed.

"Xu family??" Wei Yuan really couldn't understand Xu Wangu's thinking.

Sending charcoal in the snow? It was not needed at all.

Now Qingming was strong and powerful, with a strong army and sturdy horses. Even if twenty thousand soldiers were killed by a series of Great Curses from the Heavenly Shaman, the army still exceeded one million.

And every month, hundreds of thousands more reserve soldiers would be trained. Now the entire Qingming had nearly three million Body Forging cultivators. Even if more than half had to stay in the rear to produce supplies, the remaining troop potential was huge. Xu Wangu naturally wouldn't fail to see even this.

Then was it showing favor? Wei Yuan felt he was not worthy.

Except for these two points, Wei Yuan really couldn't think of anything else. Unless Xu Waner was thinking of old feelings and took action to help. But if she took action in the Broken Domain, she must need an immortal to help block the eyes of the monsters outside the sky; otherwise, she would be like the You Wu of that year, with her foundation severely damaged, and it might be that her Mind-Reflection World would shatter and she would fall back to Dharma Form.

In other words, Xu Waner's action must have been permitted by Xu Wangu.

Wei Yuan thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he could only stop thinking and focus on dealing with the Shaman tribe's offensive.

In the past few days, the Shaman tribe's offensive had been steady and steady, constantly nibbling and advancing, and it already had a taste of building strong camps and fighting dull battles. ===== CHAPTER 847 =====
