Chapter 46: Formation
There is a cliff on the side of Wuji Mountain.
Although it was a cliff of thousands of blades, there were also huts and shacks here, and two demon soldiers were stationed to guard against sneak attacks. Although it was already night, two twenty demon soldiers stood outside the shed, with great vigilance and extremely seriousness.
They had to be serious, because at this time, the bamboo big cage wind, one of the two big cage winds in Wuji Mountain, was sitting in the shack. They didn't say anything, so they just sat there thinking and practiced. The few cage winds who came with them were guarding the cliff and looked down from time to time.
The night was getting darker, and suddenly, the little guard of the guard saw the shaking flames under the cliff. He immediately took the torch next to him, leaned out and shook it a few times, and then ordered people to get the prepared vine rope and threw it down.
After a short while, General Yin's figure was pulled up, and at this moment, Zhu Dazuanfeng also walked out of the shack.
"General Yin has seen Dazuanfeng."
"General Yin doesn't have to be too polite," Zhu Jiegao waved his hand and laughed: "I didn't expect that you king would be extraordinary when he takes action. According to the news that our country spies have returned, the thief Yanggu has been killed?"
"Yes, Yang Gu was killed, most of the 10,000 soldiers he brought were killed and injured, and all the rest were captured," General Yin raised his head proudly and said, "There are less than a hundred casualties on our side, which can be regarded as a big victory!"
Zhu Jiegao took a deep breath. The comparison of casualties between the two sides was so different, and the strength of the Flame Army was even more demonstrated from the side. He pondered for a moment and said, "How many troops will your side send? 30,000 or 20,000?"
"Eight thousand." General Yin raised his head a little higher. He smiled faintly and said, "I have to thank the weapons sent by Da Zunfeng. If there were no such weapons, I would probably have to double it."
There was a sound of hissing and cooling air coming from all around, and each of them was experiencing the wind. Zhu Jiegao all had some doubts about General Yin's words. Even if the demon clan in Flame Mountain was powerful, he would probably not be as powerful as this level - it stumped them to use magic weapons, otherwise how could it be possible?
"Your army... is so powerful?" You Zunfeng couldn't help but rush to say, "How is this possible?"
"When you are in person, you will know the truth or falsehood. It is useless to say more now, and I am not here to show off," General Yin was calm and smiled and said, "Although those Rakshasa soldiers are large, in our king's eyes, they are just a group of native chickens and tiles. Not to mention him, even if Rakshasa King comes in person, it is afraid that it will be difficult to get benefits."
There was silence on the edge of the cliff, and the demons seemed to believe General Yin's words. Their eyes at General Yin had become a little cautious. The ability to have 8,000 to 10,000 casualties was enough to show the combat power of this army. And to be able to become the leader of the team, General Yin's ability must be small.
"This is the reason for the mobilization of the Rakshasa army today?" Zhu Jiegao looked at the foot of the mountain thoughtfully and said, "It's stumped that because of Yang Gu's death, I'm going to replace him - General Yin. Is this the reason why you sent a message and asked to meet?"
"Yes! When the Rakshasa Army Chief Zhunfeng heard that Yang Gu died, he was angry and was about to mobilize the army to fight us. So the king ordered me to come and invite him." General Yin said slowly according to Liu Chou's instructions: "If we can work together in this battle, we may defeat all of his Zhunfeng and others to slow down the siege of Wuji Mountain!"
"Okay!" Zhujie clapped excitedly and said, "Today, our army's combat losses have increased. It can be seen that the Rakshasa Army is already familiar with our defensive path, and its confidence is growing day by day. We need to find an opportunity to defeat the killing spirit - I wonder what the ugly sage has planned?"
"This time, the Rakshasa Army will have about 30,000 to 50,000 elite troops, but don't worry, my king has chosen a good place and is waiting for them to arrive," General Yin said calmly: "Da Zunfeng will just send 20,000 to 30,000 troops to cooperate with our army and act according to the plan, and you can leave them all."
"Are there two or three thousand men?" Zhu Jiegao hesitated a little. Now there are only sixty or seventy thousand demon soldiers in Wuji Mountain. It is very difficult to mobilize 20,000 to 30,000 at a time. In addition to the number of troops, it is also a bit difficult to mobilize quietly. If the Luosha Army finds out, all his efforts will be wasted. He thought about it and smiled bitterly: "How many do you have to do it?"
"If the king is not afraid of them escaping back 10,000 or 20,000, that's fine," General Yin said very directly and without any concealment, saying: "If you want to defeat the enemy, at least 10,000, but if you want them to come back, the 30,000 troops are the least."
"Then I need to discuss with the general Zhunfeng for a while," Zhu Jiegao thought for a long time, but finally couldn't make up his mind. He said, "Please stay here for a while and I'll go and change back."
"Big Zangfeng please take care of yourself."
A demonic wind blew up on the flat ground, and the figure of Zhujiegao disappeared in the wind and appeared in front of Quanzhen...

After killing Yang Gu and completely defeating his demon soldiers, Liu Chou concluded that Qi Xiaolin would rise up and come to take revenge because he knew that the two were sworn brothers. How could Qi Xiaolin have no movement in this case? He just didn't expect that he would lead his troops to come in person instead of the originally expected war.
There are still not a big problem for the current Rakshasa Army. Now the Rakshasa Army has selected less than 100,000 soldiers, and 10,000 have been destroyed. There are 50,000 elite soldiers and hundreds of thousands of mobs left in front of Wuji Mountain, which is enough to shock. Then the soldiers he can use are about 30,000. The reason why he expects to reach 50,000 is to leave some room for himself, and if the enemy brings 100,000 to save his life and accompany him, he can resist it.
The disparity in troops is too great, so it is impossible to fight in the field again. Even if you have a formation, what Liu Chou wants is to use a favorable terrain to launch an offensive and defensive battle, first stabilize the defense and eliminate his morale, and then use sneak attacks, fire attacks, harassment and other plans to exhaust his army, and defeat him with the last blow.
Liu Chou is not familiar with Qi Xiaolin, but judging from the tactics of the Rakshasa Army, Qi Xiaolin obviously has not learned the essence of the human military strategy, and he knows only half of the claws. This little thing is enough to deal with demon soldiers, but it is far from being used to deal with Liu Chou, a human race that has memories of his previous life.
The Six Chou Flame Army trained defense, and their attacks were not sharp. In fact, several battles were just relying on sneak attacks and planning. What they really practiced was only military formations. Although these things were not used in offensive and defensive battles, they did a good job of obeying orders and following commands, which was enough to be used to fight.
From the Fire City, Liu Chou has already made a complete plan. The Jigong Mountain he chose this time was the battlefield he chose. This mountain is more than a hundred miles away from Wuji Mountain. It is like a rooster. The entire mountain is full of rocks and ridges. According to later generations, it is a faulty mountain range formed by the movement of the earth's crust. The entire mountain is surrounded by water flow. Only a large area of gentle slopes can be left on the front for the army to advance. Even if it can attack in other directions, the terrain is still dangerous and difficult to move. If a little arrangement of soldiers can be used, it can be defended.
The terrain is the first to reduce the pressure on defense. For the Rakshasa Army that is about to launch an attack, there are not many things to choose. Except for the entire gentle ramp that is nearly a hundred feet above the front, other places are not suitable for launching large-scale troops.
The entire side, the back slope, and the six chou were left to the Nine Heavenly King, and he asked him to lead his soldiers to defend, while he himself brought his soldiers to defend the front.
Now, the entire Jigong Mountain defense facilities have been built and arranged for four days, but there is still no sign of stopping. Liu Chou not only took all the prisoners to build, but even the soldiers under his command did not stop. The fire city supplies led by Shi Niu have already piled up on the mountain into slopes, transporting a large number of various materials, including black oil, poisonous weeds, strong bows, and elixirs refined from the Fire Mountain.
A high wall has been built with huge stones and soil on the front of the entire Jigong Mountain. Behind the wall, the craftsmen brought by Shiniu have installed dozens of trench machines. Although this thing is not as good as the human beast, it is better to defend it because it is used in many cases and is launched from a high point, which is enough to achieve success.
Everything is orderly, waiting for you to get into the trap...
When Qi Xiaolin led his troops to Jigong Mountain, two more days passed, and six days completely changed the entire Jigong Mountain. There were only a few trees in the mountain cut down, and the two stone peaks that had once disappeared, all turned into piles of materials. From a distance, the front of the entire mountain was like an ugly and hideous giant beast, opening its mouth wide, waiting for the arrival of its opponent.
Qi Xiaolin looked at Jigong Mountain coldly. After seeing it, he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "Put it like a decisive death. Who knows if he would secretly leave the road behind? People come and take 10,000 soldiers to surround me on the back mountain. Even an ant can't let them run away."
"Here!"
Immediately, a man named Zhuanfeng took the order and took ten thousand soldiers away.
"The others are going to camp, and we attack from the front." Qi Xiaolin issued a second order: "It is indeed a good idea to guard this mountain and wait for us to attack with more fuel. If I have fewer people, it will be a little troublesome. But now we are so many people and have brought the machine beasts. Even if we use human lives, we will fill up the more than 10,000 people!"
Liu Chou guessed correctly. Qi Xiaolin did not bring only 40,000 demon soldiers, but also nearly 50,000 mobs and two mechanic beasts that had just been sent. His method was very direct, which was to use the lives of the mobs to pave the way, and let them die first, and finally let the mechanic beasts open the way, and 30,000 elite soldiers pressed them together to destroy them.
Of course, sneak attacks from the side are indispensable, but for Qi Xiaolin, this sneak attack can only play a role in harassment and cannot be truly used to set the tripod and cover the coffin. The real victory depends on the front.
"Send the order, everyone is ready to cook and camp, eat and drink well, and start attacking tomorrow morning!" Qi Xiaolin waved his hand heavily and said, "At this time tomorrow, if he can cook the head of the demon king on the top of the mountain, everyone will have a great reward!"
