Chapter 956
956 The strategy
There were more than 15000 soldiers of various types and more than 4000 logistics personnel. Such a lineup was indeed a huge pressure for a new city and a Summoner who had just arrived at the land of the marker.
Xia ping ‘an silently recalled the lineup of the divine Kingdom of GRU’s troops. Not only was he not afraid, but he was also filled with an indescribable excitement that made his adrenaline soar. In Xia ping’ an’s eyes, the troops of the divine Kingdom of GRU were like a moving source of divine power. As long as he destroyed them, his divine power would usher in a surge of a million.
If high firmament city’s divine power increased by another million points, the power of the entire high firmament city would increase by several times.
Han Xin continued, ” the expedition this time is not a battle that will determine the fate of the Holy Kingdom of GRU. Therefore, the one leading this Army is not GRU himself, but a general summoned by GRU’s men!
Xia Pingan licked his lips and looked at the soldier immortal, ” how do you plan to deal with this? ”
Han Xin was confident, and there was no panic on his face. He said calmly, ” this is a generous gift from the Holy Kingdom of GE Lu. If we don’t take it, we’ll be punished. In the face of this fat meat that has come to our door, we naturally have to swallow it, but we have to be careful about how we swallow it!
Xia Pingan laughed. He liked to see Han Xin’s calm and composed expression. Oh, tell me more about it!
“From a geographical point of view, if we put this expedition Army all the way to high heaven city, then use the city walls and Lord’s formation plate, we can ambush our elite soldiers outside and eat this piece of fat meat with the lowest price!” Han Xin took the wooden pole that Cui Hao had used to indicate the sand tray, pointed it at high firmament city, and explained to Xia Pingan, ” however, there is a disadvantage to this. We will expose the trump card of high firmament city in front of the divine Kingdom of GRU. After suffering this loss, the next time the divine Kingdom of GRU sends troops, I’m afraid it will not be on this scale!
“Not bad!” Xia Pingan nodded.
“So, compared to using high heaven city’s geographical advantage in the war, I feel that in the current situation, it’s more important to keep high heaven city hidden in the dark so that the enemy will always underestimate and be unable to figure out our strength. As such, although the price of killing the enemy outside high heaven city is small, the consequences will be very serious. This is the worst plan, and the best plan is to kill the enemy while not exposing high heaven city’s strength, buying time for high heaven city’s development. We can only take the initiative to attack. Lord and general Xue will lead the elites of high firmament city and find an opportunity far away from high firmament city. When the enemy is halfway there, we will first destroy their logistics and supply troops, disrupt their rhythm and deployment, disrupt their morale, and then annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop!” Han Xin’s long pole moved North on the sand table, his eyes as sharp as an Eagle’s, and his entire body began to show a peerless demeanor.
“Won’t this also expose high firmament city’s strength?” Xia Pingan asked calmly.
“Master, have you forgotten about what Sir Cui Hao just said about the Wanderers and the situation of the Holy kingdoms in the North?” Han Xin smiled, ” the elite troops of high firmament city will all be disguised as rogues. They will not raise any flags and will not reveal their identities. After annihilating the enemy, they will immediately retreat!
“Will it work to disguise as a rogue?” Xia Pingan pondered.
there must be a flaw left behind. It’s difficult to perfectly disguise, but the wonderful thing is this flaw. Lord, think about it, if GRU finds out that the troops he sent were completely annihilated by rogues in the wilderness, and those rogues don’t completely look like rogues, but like the elites of some God’s kingdom, what would GRU think? ” Han Xin’s face revealed a faint smile.
“Would GRU suspect the divine Kingdom of scythe?”
“That’s right. The divine Kingdom of GRU and the divine Kingdom of scythe were originally enemies in this region. In terms of strength, the divine Kingdom of scythe is even more powerful than the divine Kingdom of GRU, so it’s perfectly normal for the divine Kingdom of scythe to send their elite soldiers to destroy their plans. This way, while we annihilate the divine Kingdom of GRU’s forces, they won’t suspect us and will continue to hide high firmament city’s strength. In the end, the divine Kingdom of GRU will be able to divert its forces to deal with the divine Kingdom of scythe. This is the best outcome!”
Han Xin calmly and confidently analyzed the current situation, ” if we do this cleanly, even if the Holy Kingdom of GRU fails this time, GRU will not think that it is our ability. In two or three months, GRU will not give up and will continue to send troops to destroy us. The number of troops he will send out the second time will not be much more than the first time. Our ultimate goal is not to defeat the Holy Kingdom of GRU in one go, but to let them see hope. He always thought that we were weak and kept using the tactic of adding fuel to the fire to feed us, to increase the strength of high heaven city and his Lord! In the end, when the Holy Kingdom of GRU realizes that something is wrong, they may no longer have the strength to destroy us alone. At that time, high heaven city will be able to gain a firm foothold in the White Horse profound light continent’s Eastern barren region.”
As expected of the war immortal, he had to see ten steps ahead with every step he took. The divine Kingdom of GRU had just sent out their troops, and Han Xin had already thought of a series of plans for them in the future, one after another, just like Xia Pingan’s array board. Once you stepped in, the more you walked, the more traps you would find, and you would be unable to extricate yourself.
“How are the preparations in high firmament city?” Xia Pingan asked Han Xin.
“Everything is ready. In three days, Lord can lead the Army to attack!”
“Three days?”
“Cui Hao said that master has already finished refining the formation plate for high heaven city’s defensive formation, so before the Army sets off, master still needs to finish setting up the defensive formation. This time, all of high heaven city’s elites have been sent out, so while master is away, high heaven city can only rely on the defensive formation and the city guards to defend the city. Master’s defensive formation is extremely important!”
Xia ping ‘an slammed her hand on the table and said firmly, ” okay, let’s follow this plan. Three days later, I will personally lead the troops and set off to find an opportunity to destroy the enemy!
“Yes!” Han Xin, Cui Hao, and Xue Rengui bowed and accepted the order.
“I’ve refined the formation plate for the formation. Please wait here for a moment. I’ll get someone to bring it over. I’ll place it in the divine Hall today!”
Hearing Xia ping ‘an’s words, Han Xin, Cui Hao, and Xue Rengui all stayed behind. Xia ping’ an walked out of the meeting hall with the three of them and directly ordered Dragon five to bring his array disc over.
The array disc was located in high firmament city’s warehouse. When Xia Pingan returned, he would only appear in the warehouse. However, when Xia Pingan returned to high firmament city, he would appear directly in the temple. These two places were not the same, so he had to get someone to retrieve the array disc.
After a while, Dragon five and eight Templars carried the disk array to Xia Pingan and placed it on the ground outside the temple.
ah, I didn’t expect this array disc to be so huge, ” Xue Rengui exclaimed as he looked at the huge array disc.
this is the array disc used for the mountain’s protective array. It’s different from ordinary array discs, hehe, ” Cui Hao said as he stroked his long beard.
This was the first time Han Xin had seen the formation plate that Xia Pingan had made, and his eyes were also shining, his face showing a serious expression.
After the eight Templars stepped back, Xia Pingan’s divine power surged. With a point of his finger, the huge array disc glowed and floated up. Then, Xia Pingan used his finger as a pen, and the pen moved like a dragon or a snake, writing golden characters in the air. Those characters continued to sink into the array disc and the ground of the temple. After a few minutes, Xia Pingan’s hand stopped, and he pointed at the array disc and said, ” peace!
Soon after the word ” an ” was uttered, a deep pit as large as the formation plate silently appeared on the ground below the formation plate. Closely after that, the entire formation plate sank into the deep pit while vast energies of five elements gushed in from all directions, including pure white Qi which represented gold, green qi which represented wood, black Qi which represented water, red Qi which represented fire and yellow Qi which represented earth. Like hemp ropes, they all condensed into one strand and poured into the formation plate in the deep pit.
In the next second, the earth-yellow Qi surged out and the deep pit returned to its original state. High heaven city’s ground only slightly trembled, and the formation plate was already set up.
Xue Rengui looked left and right and found that there was nothing different about his surroundings. He couldn’t help but ask in surprise, ” master, the array disc of this array is already in place? ”
this is the core of the formation. We can’t see the power of the formation, but we’ll know once we go up to the city wall! Xia ping ‘an smiled, then took the three of them and left the temple on a horse, directly arriving at the city walls of high firmament city.
At this time, the soldiers on the city wall were already restless, pointing into the distance and discussing. When the four of them went up the city wall, they saw that the mountains and sky dozens of miles away from high heaven city were completely invisible. They were all covered in a thick fog, and there were even faint flashes of lightning in the fog.
Xue Rengui was already dumbfounded. He couldn’t help but gasp.
“I didn’t expect this formation to be so powerful!” Seeing the power of this formation for the first time, Han Xin’s eyes were full of shock. He took a deep breath and asked, ” my Lord, how big is the area covered by this formation? ”
“This formation can cover an area with a radius of 150 kilometers around high firmament city. This is only the first layer of the formation, the hidden fog seven slaughter formation. The hidden fog seven slaughter formation can cover the entire high firmament city, making it impossible for people outside to see high firmament city. If you enter the fog, you’ll get lost, but it can also provide protection for high firmament city!”
“Master, high heaven city has many crops and food. Will this fog affect the crops and food production in the city?” Xue Rengui thought of something and quickly asked.
Xia ping ‘an smiled slightly. As a general, it was normal for Xue Rengui to worry about food. the core area of the hidden fog seven killing array is an illusory array. If an outsider were to look from the sky, they would see that high heaven city is completely covered in fog, and they would not be able to see what high heaven city looks like. However, in reality, it does not affect the sunlight, so the crops and food in high heaven city will not be affected. Because the fog brought by the array has more moisture, the array has activated the circulation of the water, soil, and Qi in the array. The crops planted in high heaven city are rich in water and soil, so they should grow even better than in other places!”
“Then, will our Army be suppressed by the formation?” Han Xin asked.
there is a drop of soul blood that I have condensed on the formation base of this formation. All the soldiers who can be summoned by me, including you, will enter the formation just like me. They will not be affected and killed by the formation. Instead, they will be recognized by the formation as a living formation tool. It will be easy for them to enter and exit the formation or kill enemies in the formation!
master is a man of great talent and strategy. With the help of this formation, we can fight against 100000 soldiers! Han Xin praised.
100,000 soldiers, it seemed to be a little too little!
Xia Pingan muttered to himself. Even though they had only completed the first circle of the mountain-shielding formation, the seven Killings in the hidden fog, even if a hundred thousand Wolf cavalry soldiers were to come, they would still be killed by the formation. It would be difficult for them to break through the first circle.
When he found the time to refine the remaining 17 array discs, merge them, and stack them, this big array would be truly completed and reveal its extraordinary nature. By then, not to mention 100000 troops, even if millions of elite masters dared to enter the array, and even those demigod Summoners lined up one by one, they would be crushed by this big array.
Thinking of the future when the array was completed, Xia Pingan’s heart suddenly calmed down.
However, when it came to safety, Xia Pingan thought of the nest of the flying scorpions near high heaven city that Cui Hao had mentioned just now. Those flying scorpions were too close to high heaven city, and they were a hidden danger and a time bomb. At this moment, high heaven city had set up a great defensive formation, and the surrounding terrain had changed greatly. It might alarm those flying scorpions. Since he had time now, he might as well go and see what was going on with those flying scorpions.
As he thought of this, the next second, Xia ping ‘an directly said to Cui Hao, Han Xin, and the other two beside him, ” prepare for the expedition in the next two days. I’ll go and take a look at the flying Scorpion’s nest. I’ll be back the day after tomorrow at the latest!
After saying that, Xia Pingan did not wait for the three of them to speak. He leaped up from the city wall and turned into a crane in the air. Spreading his wings, he flew towards the southwest of high heaven city.
