Chapter 1033: The Battle of the Valley of the Wind (5)
Loud sounds continued to be heard, and the atmosphere in the alliance meeting hall was solemn.
On the main seat, the unit inspector Jiang Huan looked solemn, holding the formation plate and looking intently at the pictures on it.
Everyone stood in the hall, holding their breath and concentrating. You could hear needles falling in the stone room.
Not long after, footsteps sounded outside, and a man came in from the outside. He glanced at everyone and bowed to Jiang Huanji: "Senior Jiang, after the rebels pulled out their flags and retreated, they surrounded them again and attacked the formation.
Launched an attack."
"I already know. Meng Xuan, since you are from the Taixuan Sect Formation Flag Department, you are the one who knows the formation the best among us. In your opinion, how long can the formation last with such a siege like the rebels?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall looked at the man, only to hear him answer: "The main formation is selected from the fifth-level high-grade Kunxuan three formations, which integrates offense and defense. The formation has three formation altars, at least
Only when three god-transformation monks are in charge can the maximum power and effectiveness be exerted."
"But at present, only senior Xun Xun is in charge of the affairs of the formation. Although the juniors and others try their best to support and take turns in the battle, they are still unable to cope with it. The spiritual power in the body is still obviously insufficient compared to the monks who transform themselves into gods."
"With the abilities of this junior and others, they can only use 70% to 80% of the power of this formation."
"The rebels have now formed an encirclement. They are divided into eight groups to attack the formation. The attack direction is exactly where the formation is weak. As I can see, the younger generation has seen that each of the rebels has a large force, and there are monks who have transformed themselves into gods.
Comparing the current intensity of the attack with the endurance of the large formation's defense, I'm afraid it won't last even half an hour before the outer defense light curtain will be breached."
"If the seniors can send two more senior transformation gods to guard the other two formations, the effect will be much better, but it will only delay it for some more time."
"If we can't stop it from attacking the formation from the outside, it will be a matter of time before the defensive light curtain is breached. It will only take a quarter of an hour or two at most."
Jiang Huan said: "There are currently no manpower available to control the formation. You should do your best to maintain it. After this battle is over, I will apply for rewards from the column for you. You go first!"
"Yes, I will take my leave, junior." The man responded and left.
"You have all heard what Meng Xuan said just now. The rebels are besieging them from all sides and attacking the weak points of the formation. The defensive light curtain can only last for half an hour. If it is allowed to be used, we have decided that we will not be able to delay the arrival of reinforcements.
Once the formation is broken, we will all be destroyed, and we must not sit still and wait for death."
"Yes." Everyone responded.
"Fellow Daoist Chen and Daoist Hua, I have to trouble you again."
Chen Ying frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy. The opponent is divided into eight troops, each with a large group of troops, and there are monks who are in charge of transforming gods, and they can support each other. No matter which one of them we attack, the troops on the left and right sides will be strong."
Troop support will arrive soon. In this case, it is impossible for us to pose any substantial threat to them. If we attack rashly, we will be in danger."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Tong immediately echoed: "What Daoyou Chen said makes sense. The formation flag is a dead thing, so it will stay where it is. We suddenly attack them and catch them off guard. We pull out the formation flag and then retreat. There is nothing they can do."
"But now the attacking formation is not about formation flags, but about living monks. We burst out of the formation, and they immediately retreated. We didn't dare to pursue them deeply, and we couldn't cause any real harm to the rebels. If they didn't retreat,
Instead, they got entangled with us, and when reinforcements from both sides arrived, we were in danger."
"It is simply impossible to inflict heavy damage on the opponent and then safely withdraw from the formation in just over a hundred breaths."
Chen Ying answered: "In my opinion, it is better to wait for the rebels to break through the defensive light curtain of the formation and invade the formation. We will wait for the opportunity to activate the formation and then attack at the same time. Only in this way can we have a chance to severely damage them. Now go out to meet them.
The enemy cannot be stopped, and may even fall into danger."
In the room, the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle. Although Chen Ying and Hua Tong spoke calmly, their objections were obvious in their words.
As the coalition inspector appointed by the coalition, Jiang Huan is the highest commander of the team and can order everyone in the coalition.
Just now, he had made it clear that he could not sit still and waited for death, and he had issued an order. Although his words were polite, the order was real.
But Chen Ying and Hua Tong directly refuted it in front of everyone and were unwilling to accept this order.
To put it mildly, this is a statement of one's opinion.
To put it more seriously, this is disobedience.
Obviously, Chen Ying and Hua Tong were unwilling to gamble with their lives, and they frequently ventured out of the formation to attack the rebels. This was also an expression of dissatisfaction with Jiang Huan who frequently ordered the two of them to take risks against the enemy, while he himself sat quietly within the formation.
All the monks in the coalition army were recruited from various families, and most of them had not known each other before and had no contact with each other.
Theoretically, Jiang Huan is the inspector of the joint team and the commander-in-chief of the Fengqiangu team. In fact, his influence within the team is very limited.
The monks under the regiment were very respectful to him, but it was just a reverence for his cultivation.
The execution of his orders was only out of fear of punishment from the coalition forces, not out of personal conviction.
The status in the spiritual world is based on one's own cultivation. High-level monks have natural suppression when facing low-level monks. This is the result of the monks' great power being attributed to themselves.
Not to mention that they belong to the same regiment and have positions assigned by the coalition forces.
Even if they don't know each other and have no intertwined relationship, the Yuanying monk can only bow and obey orders when facing the God-transforming monk.
But there is no such strong suppression between monks of the same realm. Even if you are in the late stage of divine transformation, when facing a mid-stage spiritual transformation or even early stage spiritual transformation monk, the other party is likely to ignore you.
This can be seen from how they address each other. When there is a big difference in cultivation level, the person with lower cultivation level calls the one with higher cultivation level as senior, and they need to bow their heads and salute to show respect.
Those with high levels of cultivation only need to address them by their first names. If you are polite, you can add the word "fellow Taoist". There is never a saying that high-level monks bow their heads in return to low-level monks.
And two people in the same realm become Taoist friends with each other. Even when they are in the late stage of spiritual transformation and face a monk in the early stage of spiritual transformation, they will bow to each other and salute each other when chatting to show their equality.
Although Jiang Huan was appointed as the inspector of the alliance, he actually did not have many means of coercion when facing the managers of the alliance with the same spiritual cultivation level. Whether he could command them or not, mainly depended on whether they would give him face.
After all, there is not much difference in cultivation between everyone, and they are not from the same sect or family. Each of them receives the salary from the original family. Why should they listen to your orders and work for you?
Just one position in the coalition army obviously cannot convince the public.
There was silence in the hall for a few breaths, and Jiang Huan said slowly and expressionlessly: "What the two fellow Taoists said is not unreasonable. However, the rebels have already arrived at the city. This is the time when we are risking our lives. How can we ignore it just because we may be in danger?"
Ignore it and just sit back and watch it break the formation."
"We have to hold on for a day to have a chance to wait for reinforcements. As long as we can delay the rebels' breakout, we will not hesitate to pay no matter how high the price is."
"I hope everyone can understand that this is not a game where you come and go over dinner, but a life-and-death war. There will inevitably be dangers and casualties."
"If you are afraid of danger and are stagnant, you can leave now. I will never stop you and will open a gap in the formation to let him leave."
Jiang Huan glanced at everyone in the hall, and finally stopped at Chen Ying and Hua Rong. No one spoke, and he continued in a slightly slower tone: "Of course, you have to pay attention to methods in the struggle. It is best to avoid casualties. Today's rebellion
The army is divided into eight groups to attack in a large formation, each group is more than a hundred miles apart. As long as we plan properly, we still have a chance to disrupt them and escape unscathed."
"I will give an order to Daoist Tian later and ask him to lead several Xuanling ships to attack from the southwest to attract the attention of the rebels. Then I will attack from the northeast and attack the rebel monks. If the opponent retreats immediately,
, we don’t need to pursue deeply, as long as we disrupt the opponent’s attacking rhythm.”
"What do you two fellow Taoists think of this plan?"
Chen Ying and Hua Rong heard what he said and were about to lead the team to attack personally, so they had nothing to say. The reason why they refused to lead the team to attack the enemy was mainly because they were dissatisfied with Jiang Huan's title as an inspector but he had nothing to do with it.
He did not contribute any effort and pushed the dangerous tasks to the two of them, while he himself safely hid in the formation and commanded remotely.
Now that he was about to lead his team to attack, the two of them naturally had no reason to object and nodded in agreement one after another.
"Come here." Jiang Huan shouted, and two men walked in from outside. They saluted and said, "Senior, what are your orders?"
"Please invite Fellow Taoist Tian Anjian and Meng Xuan to come here to discuss matters."
"Yes." The two of them left in response. Not long after, Tian Anjian strode in: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you called me urgently. What's the matter?"
Jiang Huandao: "That's it. I just discussed it with Daoyou Chen and Daoyou Hua and decided to take the initiative to disrupt the rhythm of the rebels' attack in order to delay the time for the rebels to break the formation. You will take the lead later.
Third, the fifth group drove the Xuanling ship out from the southwest to attract the attention of the rebels."
"Remember never to fight with the enemy. Just pretend to attack for a while, no need to pursue deeply. When support from both sides of the enemy is coming, you should withdraw to the main formation immediately."
"At that time, Daoyou Chen and Daoyou Hua and I will also lead our elite troops to attack from the northeast. This attack does not require killing the enemy, as long as it successfully interferes with the opponent's rhythm of breaking the formation."
Tian Anjian glanced at Chen Ying and Hua Rong, nodded and said hello.
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Xuan came in from the outside, bowed his head and said: "Senior Jiang, what do you have to say to this junior?"
"We will go out to attack the rebels later. Your formation flag team must pay attention to your cooperation." Jiang Huan repeated the deployment and took out the formation disk in his hand.
"This thing will be kept by you for the time being. The entire formation will be handed over to you now. When you see me raising my right hand and making a fist, you can control the formation plate, open the corner of the defense light curtain where we are, and let us go out. When we are about to withdraw from the formation,
, also saw my right hand raised high, and immediately let us in, do you understand?"
"yes."
"Go! Get ready."
"Junior, take your leave." Meng Xuan responded and left.
"Fellow Daoist Tian, let's go too!" Jiang Huan stood up and walked out, followed closely by everyone. He left the meeting hall, and the light flew up to the light curtain in the northeast of the formation.
Chapter completed!
