Chapter 2221 Three-way main attack
Although Liu Yang received the message, he went out this time and recruited 20,000 new soldiers, all of whom had been trained by Pei Yong for a period of time, so he didn't pay much attention to this rabble.
Not only did he not evade, but he led his men to meet them. He did not use any tactics and just went hard, intending to take the opportunity to capture some strong martial arts masters.
However, arrogant soldiers will be defeated!
As soon as Liu Yang fought with this ragtag team, he immediately realized that he had misjudged their combat effectiveness.
These people fought extremely bravely. Although their coordination with each other was a bit poor, they were much stronger than them in terms of momentum and strength.
Moreover, they also discovered that there were strong men at the ninth level in the opposing army, so they immediately asked the soldiers to resist, while he retreated with all the martial arts cultivators.
As a result, all the 20,000 soldiers were wiped out, and Liu Yang fled to Qiming City with the soul cultivators and martial cultivators around him.
But halfway, they met another fake Ye Liuyun, who asked them to return to the battlefield and continue fighting.
Fortunately, Liu Yang felt something was wrong and used the slave seal to communicate with Ye Liuyun, only to be discovered by Ye Liuyun who was far away in Qiming City.
"You've been fooled! It's a fake! Run, run away, the person pretending to be me is very strong!"
Ye Liuyun immediately used the slave seal to notify Liu Yang.
But after Liu Yang found out that he had been fooled, he became more conceited again and immediately organized all the soul cultivators to launch a soul attack on the fake Ye Liuyun.
He didn't believe that with more than fifty soul cultivators, he couldn't deal with a single martial arts cultivator.
But the martial arts cultivator brought a treasure to defend against soul attacks. Although the defensive treasure was eventually breached, he almost wiped out half of the soul cultivators Liu Yang brought with him in just a few attacks.
Although they were eventually forcibly subdued by Liu Yang and others, Liu Yang also suffered heavy losses this time.
And at this time, a small group of higher-level enemy soldiers behind him caught up again, chasing them all the way.
By the time Liu Yang fled back to Qiming City, there were only three soul cultivators left with him. Even the ninth-level peak martial arts cultivator that Ye Liuyun sent to him had died in the battle because of interception and pursuit.
This was Ye Liuyun's worst defeat since he entered the central region. A team of 20,000 people led by a strong man was completely wiped out and only one prisoner was captured.
But the value of this prisoner is very high.
He is the famous "Thousand Faces".
Moreover, Ye Liuyun also confirmed that the leader of these 60,000 enemy troops was "Tiger Head."
Moreover, among his 60,000 troops, there were also two national guardians and 500 forbidden troops mixed in.
Ye Liuyun carefully asked Liu Yang about the battle and found that Hu Tou did not take action personally this time, but only sent a commander and soldiers to pursue Liu Yang, otherwise they might not be able to come back.
Ye Liuyun immediately informed Mo Shaowen: "Retreat immediately! Let the army return on its own. You, the strong martial arts cultivators and those soul cultivators should all disperse and run back!"
He felt that "Tiger Head" did not concentrate its efforts to deal with Liu Yang, so it might have sent experts to hide its whereabouts to deal with Mo Shaowen.
Mo Shaowen immediately followed Ye Liuyun's instructions and issued the order.
As a result, as soon as they started to retreat, they were attacked and chased by strong men.
Ye Liuyun's guess was correct. "Tiger Head" was attacking in the east and west, and all its strongest strength was used to deal with Mo Shaowen.
Fortunately, Ye Liuyun reacted quickly and Mo Shaowen dispersed the people one step ahead.
So in the end, only a dozen soul cultivators in Mo Shaowen's group were hunted down, while the rest of the powerful ones escaped smoothly.
But those 20,000 troops were all killed by the Forbidden Army led by "Tiger Head".
This defeat is far from over.
"Tiger Head" led his 60,000 troops and began to sweep across the north again, taking back the northern cities one by one.
Moreover, his army also expanded rapidly, and its number soon reached 150,000.
At the same time, the army guarding Duhun Mountain in the west also began to take action against the rebellious martial arts cultivators in the west. They killed them all without being recruited, and they acted very decisively.
The western army also expanded very quickly, and soon there were 50,000 more people.
Ye Liuyun also summoned many commanders to study countermeasures.
“I recommend attacking the north first.
The ‘Tiger Head’ and the five hundred forbidden troops were all in the northern army of the Zhongxing Dynasty.
The western garrison only suppressed some rebel forces and did not launch an attack directly against us. "
Yu Xiaofeng suggested.
"I suspect that 'Tiger Head' is Yuan Hao!"
Ye Liuyun guessed.
Song An analyzed: "If Hutou and Yuan Hao are the same person, then his basic strength is still in the west.
The strength of the west should be stronger than that of the north. "
"The ZTE Dynasty still has 40,000 forbidden troops, and we must retain enough protective power!"
Yu Xiaofeng added.
Everyone discussed for a long time, but no matter how hard they calculated, the troops were not enough.
“Transfer Mu Qingcheng’s 100,000 troops stationed in Wuyahai in the east to guard Qiming City.
Liang Xue and others were stationed in Qiming City with the defense forces around them to assist in the defense.
The 100,000 troops guarding Wuyahai in the south were also transferred, commanded by Pei Yong, to replace Yu Xiaofeng and guard the garrison city.
It turns out that all the defensive equipment along the coast was provided to them.
This 200,000-strong army serves as our defensive force.
Qiongqi helped arrange the defensive formation.
Xiao Yunfang led an army of 100,000 troops and continued to advance towards the royal city. Fight steadily and don't advance rashly.
Qiongqi, Liu Yang, and Mo Shaowen took the remaining soul cultivators to assist Xiao Yunfang.
Yu Xiaofeng's 100,000 main force attacked the west.
Let the "Thousand Faces" transform into my image and confuse the enemy.
The four thousand strong men from the Forbidden Army I captured last time were divided between Yu Xiaofeng and Xiao Yunfang.
I took the Sharp Knife Regiment, Helian Xiu's 100,000 troops, to the north in person.
Aren't they trying to confuse us?
We also confuse them.
Let them guess which direction our initiative is!
Three armies attacked at the same time.
Everyone must be prepared to fight to the end.
If there is a problem, I will bring a sharp knife and rush there at any time. "
"That means that the three armies are all in the main direction of attack?"
Yu Xiaofeng confirmed.
"That's right! They are all the main attackers!"
Ye Liuyun confirmed.
Everyone fell silent, thinking about the consequences of this battle.
The three armies attacking at the same time can indeed confuse the Zhongxing Dynasty and make them unable to defend themselves.
But in this battle, they had already spent all their wealth.
And it is destined that at least one army will be hit hard.
Once you misjudge the enemy's strength, you may lose everything.
"What are you afraid of! Even if we lose, the ZTE Dynasty will realize our strength and will not dare to take advantage of us in the east in the future.
If we win, the ZTE Dynasty will be one step closer to collapse. "
Ye Liuyun comforted everyone to prevent them from being too stressed.
"What if there is a three-pronged army concentrated on attacking the royal city?"
Song An asked.
"It's also a desperate move! The royal city is still defended by tens of thousands of forbidden troops. When the time comes, we will be the attacking party, and the losses will be even greater.
Once we fail to capture the royal city immediately, we will be attacked by their armies from the west and north. "
Ye Liuyun explained.
In the end, everyone unified their opinions and decided to prepare for the battle according to Ye Liuyun's plan.
