A battle like this usually cannot be decided in a short time. When the first battle occurs, both sides are often just temptations. Unexpectedly, the battle that should have been tentative on the first day was so tragic. The Jiuli army almost reached the brink of the collapse formation, and the offensive of the Chongchen tribe was so fierce.

The casualties exceed 10% without breaking the formation. In this era, they are already well-trained and absolutely elite. The Jiuli army can still defend it in the end, not only because they are very motivated, but also because they cannot retreat.

The Chongchen army arrived so suddenly, half a year earlier than expected, and many villages in the rear were not prepared. If the front-line army collapsed, the Chongchen army could invade in a large scale, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Wu Hui fought so fiercely on the first day of the battle, and he wanted to directly defeat the Jiuli army with the power of a surprise attack. The longer the stalemate of such an array battle, the more unfavorable it will be for the Chongchen division, because their logistics supplies, the fare delivery of various strategic materials and personnel, and the resettlement of injured soldiers are more difficult. After all, the rear is far away on the north bank of Yunmeng Juze.

In the next few days, the Chongchen tribe launched a fierce attack every day. The Jiuli army lined up to meet the enemy, and each time they tenaciously blocked the enemy, and the positions retreated step by step.

This is just a retreat and defense of the position, not a retreat of the army, because Jiuli Dajun's defensive position will be destroyed by the Chongchen army every time. They retreated for a short distance, and the soldiers of Muli's troops set up another solid line of defense, leaving behind a piece of ashes of gunpowder.

When the war reaches this point, there is no strange plan at all. Everything has to be spoken by strength. Even if the tiger widow, Shaowu or the general Lingbao, who is best at fighting in the war, comes to command, they may not be able to make any other tricks. The sudden crossing of Yunmeng Juze and appearing here is already a successful strategy. Next, the strategic advantage that has been finally achieved must be transformed into the final victory.

There were several brief truces due to rain. After half a month and eight battles, the position defense line of Jiuli Army had retreated five or six miles. More than 2,000 people who participated in the first battle have suffered nearly half of the casualties so far.

If such a large casualty occurs in a battle, it will definitely be the result of the collapse of the battle formation. After each battle, both sides will quickly replenish the troops to keep the battle formation intact. However, timely replenishment of soldiers does not mean the recovery of combat effectiveness. Continuous battles have greatly damaged Jiuli's vitality, because the most elite young and strong people on the battlefield are all the losses.

Not to mention the losses of the Qing Zhuang people, more importantly, those witch masters who master Jiuli’s secret technique are one less, and it is difficult to cultivate them in the short term. The process of practicing Jiuli’s secret technique is very dangerous. Often, a village cannot produce an outstanding witch master within many years, and a group of them are ruined in this battle.

The battle loss ratio of Chongchen's army was slightly smaller, but the ten military formation soldiers who were initially put into the battlefield also suffered more than one-third of the casualties, and they were replenished from the rear in time. The personnel could be replenished, but the decline in combat effectiveness was inevitable. It is okay for ordinary warriors, but a well-trained archer had to be trained for a long time, let alone those monks who could cast spells.

The combat effectiveness of the Chongchen army formation was obviously stronger. If Wu Hui had invested more than twenty military formations from the beginning, he would probably have defeated the Jiuli army in the first battle. Wu Hui failed to compete for me in one battle, and his next strategy was also very obvious, which was to stick the main force of the Jiuli army here, so that they could not retreat and transfer, so they could only mobilize support from the rear.

This strategy is like locating a wound and continuously biting it, causing the other party to continue to bleed.

The decisive battle in the array is not good for Jiuli. If they can successfully transfer the people of the villages in the rear, withdraw the army into the mountains, and attack and ambush them at various passes, Wu Hui will also feel an extraordinary headache. But now there is a rare opportunity, Chongchen can firmly lower the main force of Jiuli's army here, so that they can't retreat.

Even if Jiuli completed the transfer of the villages in the rear at this moment, it would be a little too late to retreat. Because as long as they wanted to escape, the front line would be in chaos, and the main force would be strangled by Chongchen's army from behind.

If this army is destroyed, it means that most of the elite troops in Jiuligu villages have been ruined. Even if they can escape into the mountains and hide, they will find it difficult to recover their vitality for a long time, and even the large tribes that have finally been integrated will gradually dissipate.

It started raining again on the sky, and the two sides temporarily quit. Five great witches sat in the tent, used branches to draw out the battlefield situation chart on the mud, and were discussing military information, and specially invited the tiger baby.

Fei Liwang frowned and said, "If you lose the initiative, you will be passive step by step. Our army is sucked here and cannot escape. What you are most afraid of now is that the Chongchen tribe suddenly increases troops. The Communist Department promised to help me Jiuli, but there was no movement. If they could cross the river and attack him at this time, it would be enough to defeat Wu back."

But Mu Lihu shook his head and said, "The people I sent have just brought back the news. Dijiang led a large army to station in the western territory in the name of mediation of the conflict between the two units, and Lu Zhong led a large army to confront him in the eastern territory."

Huwa finally understood why Wu Hui always had ten military formations on the battlefield, because there were pressure on the rear. On the other hand, of course, it was also due to the limitations of the scale of logistics supply.

Emperor Jiang, the king of the Communist Ministry of Works, changed his previous reckless and aggressive temper. This time he actually played very skillful. He did not directly intervene in the conflict, but led his army to the border with the Chongchen territory, claiming to be a conflict mediation. If the Chongchen Ministry did not guard against it, Dijiang's so-called mediation might turn into a surprise attack at any time, but on the surface, it would make people unable to find any mistakes.

How dare the Chongchen tribe be careless? Lu Zhong personally led another army to defend the border, so he could not follow Wu Hui to enter the Jiuli land. Although the Communist Department did not directly help Jiuli fight, it fulfilled its responsibilities as its allies in another way. At least they helped Jiuli to restrain the Chongchen tribe and shared the pressure of the war.

Gu Lizhong said with a gloomy face: "Chungchen, Gonggong, has a feud with me, Jiuli. Although the Gonggong Ministry is nominally aligned with me, he is happy to see Jiuli and Chongchen fighting both sides. They remained silent on the border, just to make me Jiuli and Chongchen fight to the death. Unfortunately, even though we knew Gonggong had such a plan, we could do nothing."

Fei Liwang comforted him: "But Gonggong has restrained Chongchen after all, and we still have a chance to win... The battle cannot continue like this. Should we try our best to stop the enemy from retreating or concentrate elite troops to launch a large-scale counterattack? A decision must be made at this time."

Jiuli’s advantage over Chongchen is that they rely on the rear of their headquarters to fight, and it is much more convenient to mobilize materials and replenish soldiers. If you want to reverse the passive battle situation, you currently have two choices. One is to sacrifice part of the army to cut off the rear, and swear to block the pursuit of Chongchen’s army to the death, and then avoid the deep mountains and use the terrain to deal with it.

This choice can allow Jiuli to preserve his last breath of vitality, at least not be destroyed by Chongchen's army. If Gonggong can eventually fight Chongchen, he may have a chance to turn defeat into victory in the future. But the consequence is that if Gonggong and Chongchen's tribe do not start a war, Jiuli will find it difficult to turn the tables on himself, and it will also allow Chongchen's tribe to occupy a stable new territory in the open area on the south bank of Yunmeng Juze.

The second choice is to give up the original strategic plan of withdrawing the ambush, directly transfer all the elites to the front line, and launch a counterattack. If you win, it will be a complete victory, but if you lose, it will be a destructive defeat.

Such a choice is difficult to make, but now it is time to make up your mind. Gu Li Zhong sighed: "Although we have suffered heavy losses, the Wu Hui army is also exhausted. The people are united and their morale is strong. It is difficult to have a chance to win without fighting. Once they retreat, they can only live in the depths of the Southern Desert, and even move further away.

Transfer all the elite reserves of each unit to the front line, life and death are here!... Fengxianjun, don’t you want to settle the score with Wu Hui? It’s hard to have a chance in the battle between the army, and I’m willing to let this life go, and it will also create a chance for you to face Wu Hui alone. Will you take action at that time?"

He said this last time that Huwa asked Huwa alone. Huwa said with a blank expression: "I really want to find Wu Hui, but it is hard to have a chance in the battle between the army. And the purpose of my stay here is to find the real murderer and avenge the Benliu Village clan. He will take action when it is time to go."

Gu Lizhong looked at Huwa and nodded slowly and said, "If Wu Hui is not taken down, how can he explain to you well? Since that's the case, we will see you again after the rain stops!"

Huwa was asked to leave the big tent, and the five great wizards were preparing for the final decisive battle, and some plans were not convenient for outsiders to know. But Huwa had a premonition that the battle took many days and was about to come to an end, and no matter who wins or loses, both sides will pay a heavy price.

...

Three days later, the rain stopped. The stuffy and humid climate made people feel very uncomfortable, and it felt like mushrooms were almost growing on their bodies. This season is also the most likely to spread the disease. The corpses of all the dead were dealt with in a timely manner, and the injured were also transferred to places behind where they could not easily contact others.

The earth was still muddy, and on the wet and charred battlefield, in just a few days, tender grass stubbornly sprouted new buds. The army on both sides set up their battle formation again, and Wu Hui rode on the giant rhino and looked forward and discovered the changes in the enemy's army.

Jiuli has added troops, and the army formations lined up on the high slopes are not very neat. The soldiers are carrying all kinds of weapons, and many of them have just arrived in the rain through the dangerous mountain road. The five great wizard generals were all sent to the battlefield, obviously wanting to take a single bet to start the final decisive battle.

The Jiuli army did not build trenches and earthen embankments in front of the formation, and had given up its defensive stance. It seemed that it was actually planning to charge on its own initiative, which was unprecedented in many previous battles.

In the previous battle, Chongchen's army used the Red Armored Beast to cooperate with the fire attack, and the subsequent army formation followed and advanced neatly. The firewalls also made it difficult for Jiuli to launch a counterattack, so they could only use long-range weapons and flying insect beasts to counterattack, and retreated step by step. At this moment, the humid environment was not conducive to the fire attack, and Jiuli's army finally gave up on blindly defending.

Wu Hui was a little nervous, but the generals around him saw Lord Bojun laughing contemptuously, and only heard him laugh: "The Jiuli army retreated step by step, this is the last fight. I am not afraid of the decisive battle, but I am afraid that they will retreat step by step and delay the day. Today, we finally have the opportunity to let go of the decisive battle!"

After the rest and rest, Wu Hui still led ten reorganized armies. After a series of battles, he also knew the combat effectiveness of the Jiuli army. The Jiuli army was very morale and was not afraid of death, but if it was a frontal charge, it was not the opponent of the well-trained Chongchen Army. If the opponent dared to launch an active charge and Wu Hui was confident that he would directly defeat the opponent's battle formation, then everything would be over.

After replenishing the troops, the red-armored beast had lost half of it. At this moment, the remaining forty heads were still arranged in front of the Chongchen Army. In order to boost morale, Wu Hui rode a giant rhino to the forefront of the battle formation surrounded by his personal guards. He would personally command the battle formation to hedge against the enemy, and to encourage the morale of his own side to the greatest extent.

There was no nonsense, and the battle began. As the heavy arrows shot from the crossbows crossed the sky, the Jiuli warriors drove the poisonous insects and beasts to rush down from the high slope like a tide. Chongchen's army lined up in an orderly line to meet them, and two huge waves were about to collide.

Huwa has experienced many major battles. Of course, the decisive battle in front of him is not as large as the Bayuan Kingdom War, but its tragic level may be greater than every local battle during the Bayuan Kingdom War.

At this moment, a strange chirping suddenly came from the sky above the battlefield. Huwa looked up and saw a black shadow swooping from high altitude to the center of Chongchen's battle formation. It was a black feathered eagle with a wingspan of five meters wide, and the hard feathers on both wings were like sharp blades shining with cold light.

The back of the Gu Diao could not be seen from the direction of the tiger's baby, but the soul could detect that there was a skinny old man sitting on the Gu Diao, which was Gu Li Zhong.

The vicious bird, the tiger baby, was seen by Gu Diao when he was a child. The people from Lu Village once cut off a white-feathered Gu Diao. The black-feathered Gu Diao riding Gu Li Zhong felt that his spirit had the cultivation level of transformation. Its flesh and blood and sharp feathers were extremely poisonous.

The old guy Gu Li Zhong was hiding very deeply. Hu Wa thought he had not raised his natal Gu insects or Gu beasts, but he didn't know that he had raised such a powerful black feather Gu eagle, but he never made it publicly.

From Wu Hui's direction, I could see the Gu Diao rushing down from the air and the old man on the Gu Diao. Then I heard Gu Li Zhong's voice roaring: "Wu Hui, you said you want to avenge your son, but what about my father's revenge? My father died in the hands of the Chongchen tribe back then. Today, I will let you and the army of the Chongchen tribe bury him with him!"

Not to mention Huwa, even Fei Liwang was surprised by his side. Unexpectedly, Gu Li Zhong had such a secret past. Gu Li Zhong is the longest-time and longest-term great wizard among the Jiuli tribes. How old is he this year? His father died at the hands of Chongchen tribes, how many years ago it was? The clansmen now don’t know.

To be precise, it was a past eighty-six years ago. Gu Lizhong's father was not an outstanding tribal warrior or Wu Gong, but an ordinary tribe member of the Gu Li tribe. He died in an unexpected conflict with the Chongchen tribe. It was just an ordinary villager fight and died not heroically. The tribe members today no longer remember this, let alone his name.

But how could Gu Li Zhong forget? He still remembered that the young Wu Hui had just become the head of the Chongchen tribe at that time.

Wu Hui knew Gu Lizhong, but he didn't know who Gu Lizhong's father was, nor did he know that there was such a thing. Not to mention eighty-six years later, even as the leader of the king, he would not pay special attention to an ordinary conflict. An ordinary tribe member of the Gu Li army died.

Gu Lizhong swift down at a rapid speed. The wrinkles on his face were like dried date skins, but the eyes looked like crazy flames. The black feathered Gu eagle under his seat had already made a shrill cry. He was connected with his master and knew that his master was going to fight to the death today, and it had no choice, and would die with his master.

Huwa narrowed his eyes and watched Gu Li Zhong rushed into the opponent's battle formation from mid-air. This move was no different from sending death. But Huwa also understood that Gu Li Zhong was going to send death, and exchanged all his cultivation magic power for the last powerful explosion, and even the black feathered Gu eagle died.
