Sect Master’s Immortal Journey Chapter 777: Deploy troops and generals
As the general marshal of the Dali Dynasty, this was not the first time Xia Houfeng led an army on an expedition. However, this was the first time to conquer such a huge force as the Jiuqu Alliance.
In order to ensure that there were no mistakes and that he could achieve full success, he changed his somewhat arrogant personality and became much more cautious.
The location where he and True Lord Qing Gu are located is still some distance away from the Jiuqu Alliance's defense line. The other party's ordinary patrolling monks generally cannot fly to such a height.
As long as the defense line is not attacked, True Lord Yuanshen will not bother to personally dispatch it. Xia Houfeng and Qinggu Zhenjun can now observe below without being disturbed.
With Xia Houfeng's rich leadership experience, he roughly knew the level of the enemy's arrangement with just a few cursory glances.
"In half a month, I will personally lead an army to level this so-called Yellow Lotus Holy Mountain."
Xia Houfeng said categorically, not only to announce the next battle plan, but also to remind True Lord Qinggu.
Qing Gu Zhenjun said sincerely: "Then I wish the prince success."
"When that time comes, I still need you, Zhenjun, to do more." Xia Houfeng said with a smile.
The two didn't stay here for long before they flew back to the camp.
Although Xia Houfeng was very disdainful of the defense line deployed by the Jiuqu League, he was still cautious enough when commanding the specific operations and would not make low-level mistakes of underestimating the enemy.
He chose to take action half a month later. In addition to waiting for the follow-up troops to arrive one after another, he also had to leave enough time to mobilize his troops and arrange their formations.
Faced with the defense line composed of many forces in the Jiuqu League, Xia Houfeng had two choices.
The first is to select a breakthrough point, break in forcefully, and work step by step to attack steadily. Just like peeling an onion, peeling off the defensive layers of the Jiuqu Alliance layer by layer.
The other one is full bloom, with the entire army marching straight in, launching a general attack on the enemy from all directions, and destroying all the enemy's resistance in one fell swoop.
Xia Houfeng chose the second attack method without much thought.
First of all, before leading the army on the expedition, Emperor Bawu of the Dali Dynasty gave him special instructions. He was asked to fight quickly, end the battle as soon as possible, and pacify the Jiuqu Alliance.
When the Dali Dynasty conquered the Hengjue Mountains and defeated the three factions alliance, it took hundreds of years.
This time Xia Houfeng went out to conquer the Jiuqu League. With the help of True Lord Qinggu, it took less than half a year to eliminate all the resistance in the south of the Jiuqu League and occupy nearly half of the land of the Jiuqu League. .
This kind of efficiency is simply amazing compared to the time when we conquered the Hengjue Mountains.
However, in Xia Houfeng's eyes, due to some unexpected circumstances, he had already spent too much time in order to keep the southern territory of the Jiuqu League as intact as possible.
He is unwilling to fall into a protracted offensive and defensive battle again in front of this line of defense.
Secondly, if the first attack method is adopted, when the Jiuqu Alliance cannot resist, they may fight and retreat, retreat in an orderly manner, and resist step by step.
Therefore, he will attack in an all-out manner, annihilate all the resistance forces in one go, and destroy the fighting spirit of the major cultivation forces in the Jiuqu League, so as to facilitate the subsequent conquest of the northern part of the Jiuqu League.
Xia Houfeng has supreme authority in the army. Now that he has made a decision, no one can refuse.
Qing Gu Zhenjun's cultivation level is not inferior to Xia Houfeng's, but as a newcomer, his status and situation are awkward, and it is difficult to oppose Xia Houfeng's decision.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and all the soldiers and horses of the Dali Dynasty were already in place, just waiting for Xia Houfeng's order.
For so many years since the establishment of the Dali Dynasty, they have been at war all year round. There is a complete set of procedures before and after the battle.
There was no need for Xia Houfeng to make any **** pre-war speeches. Following his military orders, one army after another moved towards the predetermined target.
"True Lord, if I hadn't commanded the army and couldn't leave, I would have wanted to meet Old Man Jade Sword, the so-called No. 1 Sword Cultivator of the Jiuqu Alliance."
"I have no time to clone myself, so I can only leave him to you."
After hearing this, Qinggu Zhenjun graciously agreed without any hesitation.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as I'm here, that sword madman won't be a problem."
After all the troops were dispatched, the most powerful Chinese army, led by Xia Houfeng personally, went straight to the Huanglian Sect's main altar.
After the various armies set off, they successively launched an all-out attack on the Jiuqu Alliance's defense line.
Suddenly, fierce fighting broke out, wars raged, and **** killings suddenly came.
In the past half month, monks from Taiyi Sect and Hanhai Dao Alliance have arrived here one after another, greatly enriching the defense line.
Several nearby sects have sent people to contact them many times, hoping to advance and retreat together with Taiyi Sect. When the battle is unfavorable, I hope to be taken care of by the Taiyi Sect.
Meng Zhang was too lazy to show up. The elders of the sect were responsible for receiving these visitors.
In the face of a powerful enemy, Taiyi Sect dare not say that there is any hope of being able to defend it, let alone being able to help others.
However, Elder Jindan of Taiyi Sect still tried his best to comfort these visitors and said some ambiguous words.
The Gu Yue family of Gale City is an old friend of the Taiyi Sect, the Fire Cloud Sect is a vassal that has recently joined the Taiyi Sect, and the Jiji Sect has also been a business partner of the Taiyi Sect for many years...
The Taiyi Sect did not reject the requests outright, but instead tried to appease them. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan. com
The presence of these sects nearby will help reduce the pressure on Taiyi Sect, which also needs them.
The Dali Dynasty did not engage in tricks such as sneak attacks at night. When both sides are well prepared, it is impossible for a sneak attack to succeed.
As soon as the army of the Dali Dynasty moved, the Jiuqu Alliance quickly received the news and immediately entered a combat state.
I saw countless flying boats and warships filling the sky, almost overwhelming, and they rushed towards the Jiuqu Alliance's defense line one after another.
The airships and warships were on full fire, and beams of various colors were directed towards the ground. There were even more colorful lights shining, and the firestorm composed of fireballs, wind blades, and earth bombs swept through the front positions almost at once.
On the ground, the army of the Dali Dynasty formed strict military formations and launched successive fierce attacks on the front line of defense.
Some brave generals came out of the crowd and rushed directly to the key points of the front line of defense, looking for the enemy's high-level monks to fight.
As soon as the Dali Dynasty took action, it showed its strong demeanor and its power was extraordinary.
Such large-scale battles were originally the strength of the Dali Dynasty.
With this lineup, the Dali Dynasty defeated countless powerful enemies and suppressed countless cultivators who resisted.
The experienced Dali Dynasty army skillfully launched attacks, attacked the enemy's defense lines in an orderly manner, gradually occupied various key points, and advanced steadily bit by bit.
Faced with the violent attack from the Dali Dynasty, within a short time, the outermost perimeter of the defense line fell.
The monks from the major cultivation forces stationed here did not even have a chance to surrender, and were blown to pieces by the enemy.
