Chapter 766: Battle from Top to Bottom
Two days later, at the hour of You, on the top of Fengyuan City.
"Master Tang, the army will be here soon, and you will be able to see Miss Li soon. Why are you so worried?"
"Ah? Sir, you are joking."
"I'm not kidding. Didn't you agree to get married after the war is over?"
“This.”
"Hahahaha, why are you blushing? Men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. This is not something to be ashamed of."
“Yes, yes.”
"Well, if you don't mind, I will officiate your wedding then."
"Thank you for your help, sir."
"Okay, that's settled then. I don't think I'll have to wait too long."
“.”
On the city wall, a group of people were looking at the distant horizon immersed in the sunset with serious expressions. Only Wei Changtian and Tang Chen were chatting casually.
Two days have passed since the Tengu Army arrived in Fengyuan, and for Wei Changtian and the Fengyuan military and civilians, these two days have been very peaceful.
The defenders in the city have been taking advantage of the time to rest and recuperate. Now, except for some seriously injured soldiers, there are nearly 30,000 soldiers who can go to the battlefield to fight.
The Tengu troops outside the city kept harassing Qianhui's military camp in small groups in accordance with Wei Changtian's orders. A total of seven or eight small-scale battles took place in the past two days.
Of course, since it is just harassment, it will definitely not kill many enemies.
However, the Tengu army did not suffer too much loss accordingly.
Including the large-scale invasion on the first night, the Tengu army suffered less than two thousand deaths and three to four thousand injuries. Now there are at least twenty-five thousand people who remain combat-ready.
On the other hand, the number of Qianhui soldiers killed or wounded in these battles, large and small, reached 40,000.
One side suffered 5,000 casualties, the other 40,000.
Such an exaggerated proportion undoubtedly proves the strong combat effectiveness of the Tengu army and the demoralization of the Qianhui army.
However, this is also related to the fact that Zhuang Zhiming and others have never appeared again.
Since the successful sneak attack the night before, Zhuang Zhiming and his ten men have never appeared on the battlefield again.
This made Wei Changtian too lazy to "escort" the Tengu Army, and he has been staying in Fengyuan City for the past two days to recover his internal strength.
It was not until an hour ago that Liang Zhen sent a message saying that the 300,000 Ningshu reinforcements were only a hundred miles away from Fengyuan. A hundred miles away, it would take more than an hour to arrive.
If we take into account the time for rest and recuperation, the army will be able to launch a full-scale attack on Qianhui’s camp in about two or three hours, which is around 11:00 p.m. tonight.
Faced with all this, the remaining 700,000 troops of the Qianhui army had no choice but to meet the enemy head-on.
They can't avoid fighting, and they shouldn't avoid fighting.
Not to mention how slowly it would take to mobilize an army of 700,000 people, the mere act of "avoiding war" would undoubtedly cause the army's morale to plummet to the bottom.
The more you run and avoid, the faster you will be defeated.
Therefore, for the Qianhui army, the only way to have a chance of winning is to fight with their backs against the wall.
Even so, this slight chance of winning does not depend on these ordinary soldiers, but on Zhuang Zhiming and his ten men, as well as the Kuilong master sent by Lu Hongji.
If these people can defeat Wei Changtian, Qin Zhengqiu, and the six second-grade masters of Buddhism, the morale of the army will surely be greatly boosted, and the situation of the war may be reversed again.
But if these people were defeated, or even killed completely like they were a few days ago, there is no doubt that these 700,000 people would collapse immediately.
To put it bluntly, the outcome of this battle is most likely decided "from top to bottom".
But now it seems that both sides' lineups are extremely luxurious.
On Xinfeng's side there are Wei Changtian, Qin Zhengqiu, Han Zhao, Yang Liushi, and six eminent Buddhist monks, a total of ten second-rank monks, and more than ten third-rank monks.
On Qianhui's side, there were Zhuang Zhiming and ten other people from Kuilong Bingsan Branch, as well as several people from Bingyi Branch who were about to arrive.
It is still unknown how many people Lu Hongji will send, but it is obvious that it will be a lot.
So roughly speaking, the number of people on both sides should be about the same.
The overall combat power is estimated to be not much different.
Although Wei Changtian and Qin Zhengqiu did have the super strength to "fight many alone", Han Zhao and the six Buddhist monks were mostly in the late second rank.
But you have to know that the people on the opposite sides are all Kuilong's people, and they cannot be treated as ordinary warriors.
It is even very likely that the people sent by Lu Hongji have practiced the Tiaoyue Sword.
With such a comparison, it is hard to say which one is stronger and which one is weaker.
Of course, there is no point in comparing these now. After all, everything will be clear in a few hours.
Who will win or lose, who will survive or die, who will live or perish? This great war that has lasted for several months and involved a total of seven countries will come to an end tonight.
The sun sets and the sand turns yellow.
It is three quarters past the hour of You, and there are still three hours until the decisive battle.
"Hey, why aren't you nervous? My heart is beating really fast right now."
On the top of the city wall, Wei Changtian and Tang Chen's conversation had ended at some point, which gave Xu Suisui the opportunity to get close to the former and whispered, "Are you really not nervous?"
"Heh, why are you so nervous when you are sure to win?"
Wei Changtian yawned and said casually: "Besides, even if we lose, it will be your Xinfeng that will be destroyed, and Dashu will be fine."
"you!"
Although Xu Suisui knew that Wei Changtian was joking, he still glared at him angrily and muttered in dissatisfaction:
"Well, you promised me before anyway."
"Hmm? What did I promise you?"
"It's about the incident at the Seventh Demon Land last time! Didn't you say you owed me a favor and that you would definitely pay it back if you could?!"
"Oh, didn't I repay this favor a long time ago?"
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "You asked me to save you, and I have already saved you once."
"If it weren't for me, you would have been killed by the assassin long ago, so now neither of us owes anyone anything."
“But, but.”
With eyes wide open, Xu Suisui was angry and annoyed and wanted to argue a few words, but for a moment he couldn't find any loopholes in Wei Changtian's words.
In the end, she had no choice but to lower her head in frustration and muttered softly:
"Then consider it as I owe you a favor this time."
“.”
It is obvious that the favor Xu Suisui mentioned refers to "saving Xinfeng".
This favor was undoubtedly a great one, but Wei Changtian didn't say anything. He just turned his head to look at her and asked casually, "Actually, I never quite understood why you had to get this new Feng."
"There are many ways to change the plot. Why do we need to establish a new country?"
"Why? You want to realize socialism?"
"I"
With a stunned expression, Xu Suisui's tone was very hesitant, and it was obvious that he didn't want to answer this question.
Seeing her like this, Wei Changtian did not continue to ask her questions, but just cast his gaze towards the dust waves gradually rising from the horizon in the distance.
Looking at the sunset from the high city, the horses' hooves shake the green mountains.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of feet of yellow sand and thousands of feet of raging waves rolled by in the afterglow of the setting sun.
If you look down from the sky, the endless black army formation looks like a black iron plow, plowing the desolate and uninhabited wilderness into thick dust and moving in a straight line.
"Okay."
His expression gradually became serious. Wei Changtian stared straight ahead without moving, and said in a deep voice to Xu Suisui beside him:
"Let's withdraw the Heavenly Buddha Formation."
"Let's prepare for the decisive battle."
