Chapter 814: The full moon night is full of war
Listening to Yue Ruhai's words, Mei Zizhen shook her head slightly and said:
"I remember that in the big competition and the big competition of the Lingyun List, almost everyone knew Mu Qianmei, because at that time, she was already famous all over the world. However, at the same time, no one is optimistic that she can win the championship in the Lingyun List, because his strength is not the strongest among all the contestants, but in the end, she won the championship. ”
"What is a miracle? Here it is. ”
"When everyone was not optimistic about her, she had the last laugh, she was such an amazing woman."
"Therefore, I think that the Xiyu Country led by her may be able to go further, and even be able to have the last laugh."
Yue Ruhai didn't speak, and Xu Ziliang continued:
"The battle for world dominance is different from the Lingyun Bang competition, there are many accidental factors in the competition, but in the war for world domination, strength is the most important, no matter how much wisdom and resourcefulness, it is useless in the face of strength, Mu Qianmei, who lives in a corner, her strength is already the weakest, this time, it is impossible for her to continue to create myths."
"If you think about it, whether it's the Demon Realm Army or the Longxiao Kingdom, they are all people who can easily defeat them, and now they just can't spare their hands for the time being."
"In the face of two powerful opponents, she just escaped one of them by luck, and it is impossible to avoid both."
Yue Ruhai said leisurely:
"Whether or not he can still pull off miracles, we may not be able to wait for that day."
"Now that we have become the first choice of the Demon Realm army, our situation is even more difficult than hers!"
The tone was full of pessimism, and it seemed that in his heart, he was still not optimistic that the North Moon Kingdom would be able to withstand the attack of the Demon Realm army.
Mei Zizhen said suddenly:
"Since we know that we can't stop the attack of the Demon Realm army, why don't we follow the example of the Xiyu Country, and also gather all the soldiers of the whole country in the capital, give up most of the land, and concentrate our forces to protect the capital and the surrounding cities, wouldn't it be easier to defend?"
Xu Ziliang smiled bitterly:
"It is impossible for Emperor Zun to agree to such a strategy, Mu Qianmei's troops are insufficient, and they are mainly recruits, so he was forced to give up most of the Xiyu Country, but our Beiyue Country currently has a large number of generals, and retreating without a fight will inevitably greatly affect the morale of the army, and it will also lose the support of the people."
"Even if we want to retreat, we must fight first, and when we can't hold it, we can retreat step by step."
Mei Zizhen said in a helpless tone:
"In this way, it is constant attrition, and by the time we retreat to the capital, the casualties must have been very heavy."
"At that point, it will be very difficult for us to hold on to the capital."
Yue Ruhai adjusted her mentality, and after coughing lightly twice, she forcibly raised her confidence and said:
"We should all cheer up, the big war is coming, the army of the Demon Realm will crusade against us, whether we succeed or fail, we must make them pay a terrible price."
"Alright, let's continue to discuss the armament, we must keep them out of Bac Ninh Pass."
As a result, the three of them continued to discuss the matter of arming the border and no longer discussed other issues.
Two days later, it coincided with the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In previous years, many countries would hold poetry meetings on this night, admire the moon and chant poems, drink and have fun, and always send out a few amazing verses.
However, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival this time, no country held a poetry party, and even many families could not reunite with their families, because the adult men of many families had already been conscripted into the army, and they had either gone to the front line to prepare for war, or they were stepping up training in the rear, leaving only the old and weak women and children at home.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon and stars are scarce, cool as water, and a full moon hangs in the clear sky like a disk, illuminating the whole world, although it cannot be said that it is as bright as day, but it can be seen more clearly the outline of the buildings and forests, as if draped in a layer of transparent white veil.
The soldiers of the Beiyue Kingdom guarding the wall of Beining Pass, many people couldn't help but look up at the bright moon in the sky, and then couldn't help but miss their relatives in their hometown.
Perhaps, the relatives at home are also looking at the same bright moon and thinking about themselves on the front line!
The soldiers of the fairy world are accustomed to a leisurely and comfortable life, and sometimes they are inevitably sentimental and emotional, but the army of the demon world has always spent time in battle, so they don't have much feeling for such a night.
In their lives, strife is the main color.
In that barren land, many people do not have enough food and clothing, how can they have time to be sentimental, and tribes will fight for resources for many years.
Where the demon world lives, the forest is the support, the land resources, the food is the resource, and even the spring water is the resource, in order to let the people of their tribe have food to eat and water to drink, each tribe hopes to occupy the land with relatively good conditions, but there, such a place is very rare, and if you want to have it, you can only take it by force.
A good place, where the strong live.
Because of this, very few people living there can calm down and read and write, let alone admire the moon and chant poetry.
At this moment, in the barracks of the Demon Realm army, no one feels nostalgic for the moon, but they are all nervously gathering, because Ye Wuyue has already given the order, and the siege battle will start tonight.
Ye Wuyue has always liked to fight at night, and the Demon Realm soldiers are used to his methods.
He divided the army into two armies, each with 20 million troops, and handed over the siege battle to Tang Luo to lead the battle, and he led 20 million to rest in the rear.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, the 20 million army led by Tang Luo set off from the military camp and hurried to Beining Pass.
In the middle of the night, the siege finally began.
It was the army of the Demon Realm that launched the attack, and it was the monk masters who walked at the forefront, and they didn't care about the dense rain of arrows of the defenders at all, and flew to the city wall of Beining Pass.
The masters of the Beiyue Kingdom, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately faced the battle on the city wall, and the battle was about to break out, and the masters of both sides fought together in a short time.
Immediately attacked, the ordinary soldiers of the Demon Realm army rushed to the city gate while holding their shields to defend against the shots of bows and arrows.
With a master in front, the besieging army was soon already storming the city gates.
Although there are masters on both sides, the masters of the Demon Realm army are obviously stronger in number and combat effectiveness, and there are also masters mixed with ordinary soldiers, cooperating with the storm at the city gate.
As a result, the gates were quickly breached.
The soldiers of the Northern Moon Country who were sad about the moon also temporarily collected their mood and threw themselves into the battle.
They probably knew that the city gate was difficult to hold, so they had already piled up a large amount of firewood and dry grass and other easily burning things in the city gate, and when the city gate was breached, there were already more than 100,000 demon army entering the city, and the soldiers of the Beiyue Kingdom quickly lit those firewood and straw.
For a while, the fire at the city gate was surging to the sky, and the fire quickly extended to both sides, and soon it was like a fire dragon, burning violently along the city wall.
In a moment, the Chengmen became a sea of fire of twenty or thirty zhang, and the Demon Realm army that had rushed into the Chengmen had fought with the soldiers of the Beiyue Kingdom in the city, but more Demon Realm armies behind could only look at the fire and sigh, unable to rush through the sea of fire, and could only temporarily stop the pace of advancement.
The army of the Demon Realm had only entered a very small number of troops, and the army was cut off by fire.
The team behind could not enter, and the more than 100,000 people inside became the object of siege.
It is said that when more than 100,000 troops enter the ranks of 10 million troops, they can only be beaten passively, but those 100,000 people suddenly do not have this kind of awareness, and they still maintain a relatively neat formation and fight against the army of Beiyue Kingdom.
This is where the elite troops are different from ordinary armies, even if a small number of them are encircled, they are still not flustered, between attack and defense, tacit understanding, advance and retreat, more than 100,000 people still exert strong combat effectiveness, for them, not to mention that there are more than 100,000 people, even if there are only two people left, those two people can cooperate back to back to kill the enemy, until the whole army is annihilated, will stop fighting.
Therefore, within the city walls, the battle situation looked very strange from a distance, hundreds of thousands of demon realm armies were surrounded by 10 million troops of the Beiyue Kingdom, and then fought fiercely under the light of fire.
Since the formation of the Demon Realm army is not chaotic, they are surrounded in the middle as if they are in a regular circle, and the outermost people are cooperating with the battle, and the soldiers of the North Moon Kingdom cannot rush in at all, they are always blocked out of the circle, and the battle is always carried out at the edge of the circle.
There were casualties on both sides, but as soon as someone fell, there was immediately one person behind to make up for it, whether it was offensive or defensive.
In this way, the besieging people did not have any advantage, because the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Northern Moon Kingdom was not as good as that of the soldiers of the Demon Realm, and their casualties were a little more.
In addition, the demon army is already in a desperate situation, and they can't escape anyway, and they will die sooner or later, so they have broken out with more combat power than usual, and they are becoming more and more brave one by one, hoping to kill a few more enemies, in that case, even if they die, it will be worth it.
With this in mind, almost every one of the more than 100,000 people besieged in the Demon Realm could kill two or three people before they died in battle.
If they continue to fight at this rate of casualties, when the army of the Beiyue Kingdom destroys these hundreds of thousands, the number of their deaths will reach four or five hundred thousand, then, their siege will seem meaningless, with two or three times the number of casualties to eliminate more than 100,000 people, what is the meaning of this siege?
Mei Zizhen, who was standing in the distance and commanding the battle, couldn't help but frown deeply.
Before the war, in his mind, more than 100,000 people were surrounded and beaten by tens of millions of people, wouldn't it be a mess and let others slaughter, just a situation of slaughter? However, this is not the case.
This kind of situation was far beyond his imagination, this was not what he wanted to see, and he was thinking hard about a strategy to break this situation.
