Elder Kong Ping led the team personally, which immediately made Qin Sitong feel relieved.
Although this birdman is not very smart, his strength is top-notch, otherwise he would not have been appointed by Feng Yan as the commander-in-chief of the front line - it can only be said that in the Donghuang Realm where personal strength is respected, it is a very speechless thing that one can hold an important position even if he has no brains.
The two sides hit it off immediately and quickly dispatched ten Dongyuan realm cultivators and nearly two hundred Huaxing realm cultivators from the surrounding areas to charge towards the gap pointed out by Long Long.
Although several Transformation Realm cultivators were transferred away, the defense line here looked normal from the outside. However, it was attacked by the combined forces of the Dragon Clan and the Feather Clan, and immediately showed signs of collapse.
There were not enough high-level monks, so they ended up with a few against a larger force. The result was obvious.
The distress signal was quickly transmitted to the rear. After listening to the messenger's rapid words, Lu Yan sighed and stood up.
Qi Yingzhu immediately put away the chessboard and chess pieces and asked:
"Master, do you want to dispatch some people to rescue us?"
"It's too late." Lu Yan replied, "The twenty cave realm cultivators must have occupied that defense point by now."
"It's easy to come, but it may not be so easy to leave." He said lightly, and took Qi Yingzhu out of the chess room, came to the command room, and issued a series of orders.
Qi Yingzhu watched her master giving orders in an orderly manner, thinking that her master was indeed a master. Even if she suffered a loss, she could still say that she was calculating against the other party...
As Lu Yan really turned his attention to the war, the defense stronghold originally occupied by Qin Sitong and Kong Ping was soon attacked by the Horn and Mao tribes from the north.
When Kong Ping swept out the five-colored divine light, he saw the White Tiger monks shouting in unison. The sound waves suddenly rushed over like an overwhelming force, barely blocking the five-colored divine light.
"What the hell!" No matter how arrogant Kong Ping was, he couldn't help but laugh at the scene.
If those White Tiger monks came out for a one-on-one fight, none of them would be his match, so the White Tiger General was very cunning and made a large number of monks do nothing on the battlefield and only serve Kong Ping.
As long as Kong Ping displayed the five-colored divine light, they would all use the White Tiger clan's magical power "Tiger Roar" to resist it.
Although the five-colored divine light can restrain everything that is not within the five elements, the sound waves are completely not within the five elements, so Kong Ping can do nothing about it.
"We can't go on like this." Qin Sitong made a quick judgment and said, "The enemy has too many people and wants to take this place at all costs. Our defense is too much pressure."
Qin Sitong did not explicitly say "I'm afraid we can't hold on" at the end, but Kong Ping also vaguely felt that he was backing down, so he quickly said:
"Why, Old Dragon, are you scared?"
Qin Sitong was speechless. I can't explain it to you, a birdman, is this a question of whether you are afraid or not?
If our entire army is wiped out here, you will bear the responsibility, right?
"Why don't we go ask that young man in your tribe?" Kong Ping continued to mock him, "If he agrees to withdraw, then we can all withdraw together, right?"
In Kong Ping's opinion, young people are arrogant and will most likely not agree to withdraw troops.
But Qin Sitong had already seen that Long Long was not arrogant or rude. Although he had given everyone a warning when he first arrived here, it was only to win their support as soon as possible.
Compared with that jerk Kong Ping, that little show of power was nothing... So he quickly sent someone to inform Long Long.
Long Long's reply was soon delivered by the herald:
"Elder Qin Sitong, I told you to withdraw your troops as soon as possible, why didn't you do it?"
Qin Sitong was stunned for a long time before he realized that the chess magic weapon on his waist had been vibrating and buzzing for a long time.
Well, this chess piece magic weapon is used to receive command orders! However, as a general of the Dragon Clan, I command others most of the time, and for a moment I really forgot to pay attention to the situation of this chess piece magic weapon.
In addition, the battle was fierce just now, so it is normal that no one noticed the abnormality of the chess piece.
Although I thought so disapprovingly, I certainly couldn't explain this reason to Long Long, otherwise I would be courting death.
Qin Sitong then skillfully used the leader's method of shifting the blame and asked the deputy general of the Dongyuan realm next to him:
"The commander gave the order earlier, why didn't you notice it?"
The deputy generals were also speechless. They had actually noticed the situation of the chess pieces and magic weapons, but Qin Sitong did not speak, so how could the deputy generals dare to go over and remind him?
Maybe you, the Fourth Master, have already noticed it, but you pretended not to have received Long Long's message just to avoid carrying out military orders. If we deliberately expose your pretense, how will you survive in the army then?
"The battle was fierce just now, maybe we didn't notice it. It's our fault." The deputy generals could only bite the bullet and make excuses.
Qin Sitong was very satisfied with this statement and was about to ask the messenger to reply in this way, but he heard Kong Ping suddenly say:
"With so many of you, none of you noticed the message sent by the magic weapon? It's such a coincidence!"
This birdman, he is talking about something else! Qin Sitong cursed in his heart, but said seriously:
"That's right. It's precisely because there are so many of us that not even one of us noticed the message sent by the magic weapon. This just shows how fierce the battle was just now. It's really stressful!"
Kong Ping sneered and continued to shine at the front line.
Qin Sitong suppressed his anger and asked the messenger to go back as soon as possible to explain and apologize to Long Long on behalf of everyone. Then he took out the chess pieces and magic tools and began to look at them.
The order conveyed by the chess piece magic weapon was to order all the dragon people to withdraw from this defensive stronghold, come to the left side of the southern hill, and then launch a fierce attack on the defensive stronghold.
Qin Sitong: ???
What does it mean?
We have captured this position, and now we have to give it up and withdraw, and then retake it again?
Although he was confused for a moment, Qin Sitong was a veteran after all. After thinking for a moment, he quickly understood.
The terrain of this defensive stronghold is really bad.
To the north, towards the direction of the Qilin and White Tiger coalition, there is a vast plain terrain.
The terrain does not restrict the movement of monks, it is mainly a matter of vision. The open plain terrain is easy to attack each other, and the two sides can exchange fierce fire from a long distance, and the exchange of casualties will be very large.
The enemy launched an attack from the northern plains, which could form a semi-encirclement of the stronghold. In addition, the defensive formations inside the stronghold had been completely destroyed, and there was no time for temporary repairs, which made it very difficult for everyone to defend the stronghold.
But if we withdraw from this stronghold, there are hills and highlands to the west, east, and south of the stronghold to serve as cover.
Hill high ground is good for containment defense, with a small number of troops occupying the top. When the enemy's magic, flying swords, and magic weapons attack, as long as you retreat and descend in altitude, you can use the hill to block the opponent's view.
But it is also not conducive to attack, because once you show your head you will be besieged by a large group of enemies below, so you can only use it to buy time.
What is truly ingenious is the two passages sandwiched between the three hills.
If the Dragon Clan occupies the left channel and the Feather Clan occupies the right channel and they attack the stronghold at the same time, they will also be able to form a double-team situation for the stronghold.
In this case, the one who will suffer is the other party.
The defense formation has been completely destroyed, and all the facilities are barely preserved. You must put in all your efforts and try your best to defend such a shabby stronghold!
The more Qin Sitong thought about it, the more he found it ingenious. He quickly called Kong Ping, who was shining on the front line, and explained the strategy to him in detail.
"Huh?" Kong Ping obviously didn't understand.
Qin Sitong patiently repeated it again, and finally concluded:
"In the final analysis, it's not that we are inferior to the enemy, but because this stronghold is too shabby, which restricts our performance!"
"That's right." Kong Ping particularly liked what he heard, so he nodded and said, "Then it's up to you!"
