Chapter 701: Shu Dao's Fierce Soldiers (21)
After a short period of silence, both sides were secretly gathering heavy troops on Yuling Shou and Fengling Shou. The reason why the Jieyuan Sect attack was because they could not detect their actions for Shushan; and the strong attack of Shushan saw that the Jieyuan Sect team stationed at Yuling Shou needed to rest, because two days ago, they had already shown fatigue without taking advantage of the victory to attack continuously. Moreover, the silence of two consecutive days must mean that Jieyuan Sect is brewing a new round of offensive plans. This is something that Shushan will never miss, and it is inevitable that the Jieyuan Sect will not be able to gain a foothold in Yuling Side. So Yuanfeng sent Yuan Yi, who was known for his calmness and wisdom, to personally bring people to support and command the battle, and replaced Yuan Xi, who was injured, to rest.
Due to geographical reasons, Yuan Yi's troops arrived one step earlier than the "Dream Ghost" Luo Xiu's troops. At that time, the night before the official fierce battle, Yuan Yi had not participated in the war between the two dynasties, and his understanding of military use may not be as wise as Chu Xunyu, but his thoughts and wisdom are rare and profound in Shushan. After these days of fighting, he quickly understood the situation of the enemy. You must know that if a person who can become a great master of magic, his wisdom will not be lacking. Just after actual training, Yuan Yi's military talent will be revealed. So he decided to let Yuan Yang take one hundred men to attack the Yuling Whistle after the night that day. This assault was tentative and had already advised Yuan Yang in advance that if the enemy resisted fiercely, it would be important to withdraw and preserve his strength.
Yuan Yi's offensive plan can be said to be in line with the laws of war. This move is called "tow the stone to ask for directions" in military tactics. He aims to find out the strength of the Tribulation Yuan Sect now, and how large-scale battles can be withstood. Only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one be defeated in a hundred battles. Therefore, Yuan Yang was ordered to select one hundred strong disciples and wait for the arrival of midnight. Bo Guang, who occupied the Feather Spirit Side, already knew that Luo Xiu led his troops, and at the same time he knew that there would be a big fight tomorrow, so he sent all the wounded back, so that the remaining disciples could rest and accumulate strength. He and Wu Chan sat at the table in the post to look at the map, discussing tomorrow's plan. Bo Guang was brave and Wu Chan wise. Both of them had their own strengths and made up for their weaknesses. Otherwise, Ge Tianming would not have sent others to command the main attack.
But the problem arose. Luo Xiu's men did not arrive until they were ugly, but Yuan Yang and his men launched an attack at the middle of their lives. This was something Bo Guang and Wu Chan had never thought of. If it were normal, the two sides would have to fight for a while, but the Jieyuan Sect had a very embarrassing dilemma. In order to deal with tomorrow's big fight, except for the patrol disciples, Bo Guang asked all the main force to rest. When Yuan Yang suddenly fell to the sky, he actually caught them off guard.
Yuan Yang took the men and horses to sneak out of Shu Road late at night. Seeing that there were only a dozen disciples of the Tribulation Source Sect, they had already figured out in their hearts. With a wave of the big sword, hundreds of Shushan disciples drew their swords together and shouted and killed the sky with the raging rage of these days. They rushed over like a wild bison who had been holding back their strength, shocked the disciples of the Tribulation Source Sect who were sleeping, meditating, or breathing in the whistle. Because they didn't know how large the scale and strength of the Shushan attack was, they killed more than 50 disciples in the early stage of this small-scale battle. The injuries were not counted, and they retreated step by step and retreated continuously.
This time, in order to avenge the previous shame, Yuan Yang led the way and rushed to the front, killing nearly twenty enemies in one breath, and drove the enemies of the Jieyuan Sect to the depths of the Yuling Side with his men. However, after the initial confusion, Jieyuan Sect is worthy of being a famous demonic sect. His disciples were well-trained and quickly stood firm and withstood the assault in Shushan. However, the situation was still not optimistic, because they now took Yuling with retreat in the early stage of the battle.
Half of the whistle, and the Shushan people occupied the other half of the Yuling Shou; at this time, Yuan Yang also saw the details of the Jieyuan Sect. They were indeed at the end of their strength and needed to rest. Since they could catch such a good fighter, they must not be missed. They must not let Jieyuan Sect recover. So they sent their disciples to Fengling Shou to report to Yuan Yi, explain the situation, and demanded a more troops; while preparing to attack the enemy and expand the results of the battle, it is best to regain the Yuling Shou in one fell swoop.
After the Jieyuan Gate gained a foothold, it quickly organized an effective assault and sent people back to ask for help. Wu Chan commanded the battle. At the same time, Bo Guang personally took charge to Yuan Yang. He was a Taoist cultivator, but he was talented and practiced other methods based on the "One Eye Moment" technique. He was the only great master in Jieyuan Gate who was proficient in close combat. He actually competed with Yuan Yang, and even relied on his own cultivation to be higher than Yuan Yang and was faintly exposed.
Some suppressed him, but Yuan Yang also had a strange thought in his mind at this moment, that is, Bo Guang's methods were just like this. Although his cultivation was inferior to him, he could barely say that he was fighting against the sword cultivator he practiced. But how could he kill Yuan Cheng, who was in the fusion stage like him? Yuan Cheng had a higher cultivation level than him and was also a sword cultivator. Logically speaking, he should have defeated him. Isn't this a strange thing?
Before the two sides fought for a long time, Luo Xiu's men arrived. It turned out that they met the disciple who came back to ask for help on the road, so they immediately accelerated their pace and merged with Bo Guang to counterattack Yuan Yang. When Yuan Yang saw that the enemy reinforcements had arrived, he knew that there was no hope of fighting, so he had to cut off the rear and let the other disciples retreat. The Jieyuan Sect was eager to count the number of people to prepare for tomorrow's plan, so he had no intention of chasing. Yuan Yang saw Yuan Lu's troops coming to support on the road to withdraw, so he talked about the situation, gave up the attack with her, and went back to report to Yuan Yi.
Yuan Yi was both happy and surprised when he learned about the situation of the war from the disciples sent by Yuan Yang. Bo Guang and the others were indeed at the end of their strength, but they did not expect that they could kill so smoothly, so they immediately resolutely increased their troops. However, when Yuan Lu, who had not been away for a long time, came back with Yuan Yang, was also surprised. Through them, they learned that Luo Xiu had arrived and had no hope of attack, they retreated, so they asked Yuan Yang and the others to rest for a while. However, Yuan Yi himself had a strange heart, as if the intention of the Tribulation Source Sect was faintly revealed.
Because logically speaking, the reinforcements from the Jieyuan Sect could not come so quickly, faster than Shushan, isn’t this obvious fraud? You should know that the Shushan people are stationed at Fengling Side, which is not far from Yuling Side. Luo Xiu and the Jieyuan Sect are also in camps 30 miles away recently. How could they move faster than their own? This only shows one problem. The Jieyuan Sect had already increased troops, and their reinforcements were already halfway and just arrived. This is the only reasonable explanation; and the other situation is even worse, that is, the morale of the Jieyuan Sect is greatly boosted after the joint forces, and they can be chased. Why didn’t they chase them? Instead, they retreated? This shows that the Jieyuan Sect is brewing a big fight with vitality recovering and is unwilling to waste manpower for such a small-scale battle. Of course, this is just Yuan Yi’s personal guess and has not been confirmed.
However, there is also good news, that is, this sudden attack not only has a great result, but also has a small price, so it injured more than 20 people and no one died. This made the Shushan people very happy. After experiencing a large-scale defeat, this war shows that the Tribulation Source Sect is not invincible.
