Chapter 989: Breaking Songning from both sides

The situation reversed, and Ye Wuyue withdrew to Songning City.

Liu Tingfeng took advantage of the situation and attacked Songning City again.

This time, Liu Tingfeng ordered an all-out attack, and the siege army attacked in turns for twelve hours, and there was a kind of determination not to stop without breaking the city wall.

Liu Tingfeng launched a fierce attack, and Ye Wuyue defended with all his might, and for a while, it was still difficult to break through after all.

This time, the attrition of the armies of the two sides was basically equal, with about 300,000 casualties each day, and if they continued to fight, it would inevitably be Liu Tingfeng, who had the advantage in numbers, to win in the end.

Seeing that the army was being consumed day by day, both sides were very distressed,

Such a war of attrition, even if it is won, will inevitably be a disastrous victory, and the cost is too great.

This kind of twelve-hour non-stop attack, in fact, the soldiers on both sides are very tired, even if they take turns to fight, many people can hardly bear this pressure, after all, participating in the war is equivalent to being sacrificed at any time, so, in addition to exhaustion, the important thing is an inexplicable fear.

No one knows if they will ever see the sun tomorrow.

After fighting in such a way of attrition and finally destroying the army of the Demon Realm, the Xiyu Kingdom will also pay the price of sacrificing an army of 30 million.

After more than three years of war, the population of the Outer Heaven has dropped significantly, and the total number of casualties in the Immortal Realm and Demon Realm has exceeded one billion.

After six days of fierce fighting, on the afternoon of the seventh day, suddenly dark clouds were overcast, followed by lightning and thunder, and soon heavy rain fell.

It rained heavily, and both sides were forced to cease fighting.

Wu Changkong's army, which had been hiding in the valley, suddenly encountered a torrential rain, and the valley could not hide, because of the torrential rain, a flood broke out in the valley, and the army could no longer be stationed, and was forced to walk out of the valley.

Wu Changkong's army has been hiding at the exit for six days, because the Demon Realm army is well defended, and there are too many troops, Wu Changkong has not dared to act rashly, so he lurks silently.

Fortunately, the Demon Realm army was not familiar with the terrain here, so it did not inspect here, so the existence of this army was not discovered.

Unexpectedly, a torrential rain forced him to lead his army out of the canyon.

The heavy rain not only forced Wu Changkong out of the canyon, but also forced the battle between the two sides to stop temporarily.

The army of the Demon Realm is okay, it is stationed in the city, and it has little impact, but the army of Liu Tingfeng is stationed outside the city, and the situation has become difficult.

The torrential rain had been raining for more than an hour, the water was everywhere outside, and the makeshift tents had little effect, and the soldiers were prone to typhoid fever in this early spring.

Especially those who are sick and wounded, it is even more difficult to survive.

As soon as the heavy rain stopped, Liu Tingfeng launched a fierce attack again, and mobilized more masters to rush ahead.

After a night of fierce fighting, they finally broke through the city gate at dawn and rushed into the city.

There are only two gates in Songning City, one east gate and one west gate, and the army of Liu Tingfeng came from the east, and it was the east gate that was breached.

The west gate is leading to Yong'an City, and the defense over there is relatively lax, and the news of the city gate breaking through here reached Wu Changkong's ears, and he did not hesitate to lead the army to attack from the west gate.

Advertise, it's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, there are many sources, all books, and fast updates!

In an instant, the two armies formed a flanking attack on the demon army.

Soon, the entire city became a battlefield.

The West City Gate was attacked by Wu Changkong, and the poorly prepared Demon Realm army suffered heavy casualties, and the front and rear attacks also caused a certain amount of chaos in a short period of time.

However, Ye Wuyue was a veteran after all, and he immediately asked Tang Luo and Tang Yuan Sibing to separate into two ways.

Tang Luo commanded the army to meet Liu Tingfeng, while Tang Yuansi led the army to meet Wu Changkong's army.

Songning City is not very big, the 30 million troops stationed in it were already crowded, and now the two city gates have been breached, and the army of the West Rain Country continues to pour in, and it is even more crowded inside, and soon, the army of the Demon Realm is forced to the center of the city.

At this time, Liu Tingfeng's army had not yet fully entered the city, and there were still large armies outside the city that were slowly advancing, advancing step by step, rushing towards the city gate.

Both offensively and defensively, the battle was fierce.

In the center of the city is the city lord's mansion, and there is a wide square, and the night without a moon sees that the situation is not good, and if he is caught in the narrow center of the city like this, his army will be wiped out sooner or later.

After a day of fighting, the city was littered with casualties.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Wuyue immediately ordered to break through from the west gate.

At the beginning of the battle, Wu Changkong's army of 4.5 million had the advantage and suffered countless casualties, but he said that the casualties were not much.

When Tang Yuansi began to command the battle, a situation of mutual consumption was formed.

At the end of the day, three million enemies were killed, and his own army suffered two million casualties.

When Ye Wuyue and Tang Yuansi jointly broke through, Wu Changkong finally couldn't stop it, and was forced to open a passage by them, and the army on Liu Tingfeng's side was blocked in the east of the city, unable to bypass, and failed to form support, and the demon army retreated while fighting, and finally broke through from the west city gate.

There are 30 million troops in the Demon Realm, and 20 million have broken through, with a total of 10 million casualties.

There were 39 million casualties in the West Rain Country, 9 million casualties, and 30 million remained, and they were stationed in Songning City.

At this time, Songning City was like a purgatory on earth, there were corpses everywhere, and the stagnant water on the ground had turned red, exuding a strong smell of blood.

It was also because of this rainstorm that Liu Tingfeng was forced to break through the city gate and occupy the city at any cost, otherwise, he still hoped to consume it slowly.

The army of the Demon Realm retreated to Yong'an City, and Liu Tingfeng's army was stationed in Songning City, and the two cities were twenty miles apart.

Liu Tingfeng did not continue the pursuit, but temporarily stationed in Songning City, cleaned up the battlefield, and carried out rectification.

After the Demon Realm army retreated to Yong'an City, it did not rush into battle, and the two sides temporarily ceased fighting.

Liu Tingfeng summoned the six great generals to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss the next plan of action.

When the seven of them sat down, Liu Tingfeng first said to Wu Changkong:

"General Wu made a surprise attack from Xicheng, causing great casualties to the enemy's spiritual power, and this sneak attack had a good effect."

Wu Changkong smiled bitterly:

"It's a pity, it would be better if we could sneak attack before Ye Wuyue and Tang Luo rushed back, at that time, we can hopefully wipe out all the demon army in Songning City."

"And at that time, the price we paid will inevitably be smaller, and if we miss the best opportunity, the price we pay is not small!"

Liu Tingfeng shook his head and said:

"The battle is not completely under our control, so this situation is very good, and we have a million fewer casualties than them, which is a small victory."

Bai Xiaolong spoke:

"Such a war of attrition, both sides are not pleased, and the further you go, the harder it will be to fight."

The Tiger King said nonchalantly:

"Now we have an army of 30 million, and there are still millions of troops that can be mobilized in the rear and an army of 200,000 demon beasts that remain in Hongchang City for the time being, and there are only 20 million left in the Demon Realm, we only need to attack Yong'an City in one go, and we can

Won. ”

Baili Hefeng disagreed and said:

"It's not that simple, now the city occupied by the army of the Demon Realm has become smaller and smaller, and their people have become more concentrated, you know, the Demon Realm has all migrated over, and there are many gangs in the rivers and lakes, as well as the army of monks in the Demon Realm."

"When they are forced to the point where there is no way out, they will recklessly counterattack, and with so many masters caught in it, no one knows how many casualties will be caused."

As soon as he spoke, everyone showed worried looks.

Wei Wuji suggested:

"Generalissimo Liu now has the identity of the leader of the martial arts alliance, and he can call on fellow martial arts to come to support."

Han Qi also suggested:

"In order to prevent an attack by the army of monks, we should ask the Lord of the Lingyun Pavilion for support."

After Liu Tingfeng pondered for a moment, he nodded and said:

"It's okay, this should have reached the final decisive battle, in order to avoid too many casualties, there will be an army of rivers and lakes to deal with their army of rivers and lakes, and an army of monks to deal with their army of monks, so I will arrange for someone to go and inform."

"During this time, we will strictly defend Songning City, and before the reinforcements arrive, we will temporarily hold on to Songning City, and we will make a tight defense of Songning City, and when the reinforcements come, we will launch a final attack."

Wu Changkong spoke again:

"There are four gates in Yong'an City, and when the time comes, we will attack them in all directions, surround them in Yong'an City, and don't give them a chance to escape."

The little white dragon agreed:

"Yes, the army of the Demon Realm almost poured out of the nest this time, and they all came to the Immortal Realm, even their people are living on our land, it is a good opportunity to annihilate them all, if you can cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it is best to never suffer from the future."

Mei Zizhen didn't speak.

After thinking for a while, Liu Tingfeng said slowly:

"The people can leave it alone for the time being, the main thing is to be able to wipe out their army, and now that the population has plummeted, it doesn't hurt for the people to stay, after all, the people are innocent."

While this side is deliberating, Yong'an City is also discussing the future way out of the Demon Realm.

Qu Yunyang convened several core members in the imperial study to discuss countermeasures.

After looking around, he said in a calm tone:

"Now, we have reached the end of our rope, and we don't even have a chance to retreat to the Demon Realm, because our people have already come here."

"What are our chances of winning?"

Ye Wuyue said in a cold voice:

"Even if the people of the Jianghu Sect are called up, plus the last conscription, we can still get together five million people, plus our existing army of 20 million, a total of 25 million."

"And now Liu Tingfeng still has 30 million troops in his hands, and if the army scattered behind them is gathered, there will be about 10 million."

"The trouble is that Liu Tingfeng is still the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, as soon as he gives an order, the Jianghu sects will respond one after another, there will be more people, plus the army of demon beasts, our chances of winning are very small."

Qu Yunyang looked at Fan Moyou and asked:

"What is the strategy of the military advisor?"

Fan Mo pondered for a long time before he replied slowly:

"It's difficult for us to hold Yong'an City, and the nearby cities can't take care of it, so from the perspective of our subordinates, if it can be resolved through negotiation, it is the best policy."

"If Mu Qianmei is willing to accept peaceful coexistence, then we will occupy this small half of the territory of Xiyu Country, and we will not interfere with each other and go our own way."
