Chapter 586 Sea of People Tactics (2)
Wu Yang said, “If we don’t retreat, the rest of the troops behind us will be suppressed. With the addition of the supervisory team, we can charge back.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded, admitting that it made sense, and said, “It is indeed possible to countercharge, but look!” As he spoke, he pointed into the distance.
Wu Yang could not help but curse, “Why are there so many outsiders?”
Large groups of outsiders surged out from the mountains. They were densely packed like ants. In just a short moment, there were more people than before. All the cultivators were speechless. Their faces were pale. The other party didn’t need to fight. They could drown them in a crowd. There were too many of them.
Wu Yang suddenly lowered his voice and said, “No, I have to go find the Superintendent. If we don’t have reinforcements, we’ll be dead …” He suddenly said in a low voice, “They’re dead!” If he couldn’t defend himself, he wouldn’t be able to escape. The only way was to hide in the Realm of the Mirror with Lei Xingfeng. Even if the two of them died here, there was no way they could interact with the Mingze Alliance.
Lei Xingfeng said, “I believe that the Inspectorate also needs to save their lives.”
Wu Yang and Daliba found Ted and the three of them went to the Superintendent Corps together. With Wu Yang and Daliba’s status, they could not directly talk to the Superintendent Corps.
Lei Xingfeng and Ning Er’aba sat together, both of them in a daze. After a while, Ning Er’aba said, “This time, it’s hard to escape. I didn’t expect to die here!”
Everyone in the surrounding cultivators had the consciousness that they must die. There was nowhere to escape from here, and no one was allowed to escape from Mingze Alliance. This was a place of death, and it would be extremely difficult for them to survive.
Someone said, “Why are we stupid here? We can retreat!”
“That’s right. Why are you so stupid? Is the commander an idiot? Even though he knows that he’s going to die, he still insists on it. Are we that worthless?”
“You’re very valuable, but what’s the use of being valuable? Your value lies in how many outsiders you can kill! As for whether or not you will die, it’s not up to those big shots to consider. There are many cultivators anyway!”
“Fucking bastard!”
Curses rang out, and Lei Xingfeng smiled bitterly, “We all know that this is a place of death!”
Ning’e Aba said, “You’re not an idiot. Anyone can tell, but I don’t know what the higher ups think. After all, there are more than 20,000 people, and there are at least 18,000 to 9,000 left. So many cultivators have given up?”
Lei Xingfeng shook his head and said, “Wait a moment. Perhaps there’s some news.”
After about an hour, Wu Yang and Da Lieba returned.
Lei Xingfeng went up and said, “How was it?”
Wu Yang said, “Two days, two days.”
Lei Xingfeng couldn’t help but smile bitterly. It wasn’t a long time. He might be able to defend it, but the casualties would be a little tragic. He said, “What will happen in two days? Is there any reinforcements?”
“It’s hard to say. They only said that the mission will be completed in two days. Even if you open Mystery Sect to escape, it won’t be a problem,” Dalei said tyrannically.
Lei Xingfeng said, “Open the Mystery Sect here. We’ll be finished with a casual attack. Oh, we have a restrictive killing array. There’s no problem. At most, we’ll abandon the restrictive killing array. With the support of this thing, we can use Mystery Sect to escape.”
“Yes, that’s why I didn’t say anything else. These two days have not been easy. I’m afraid that the other party will go berserk and attack continuously. It will be very difficult for us to defend against them.” Dalei said domineeringly.
Lei Xingfeng said, “Prepare everyone. If they can’t resist and collapse, our people shouldn’t be in chaos. Alternate cover and enter the Restriction Slaughter Formation. Everyone knows where Restriction is, right?”
Wu Yang said, “This is the place to save my life. Of course I know.”
“I’ve already told everyone to keep this a secret. This news can’t be spread out. Once it breaks down, our people will have priority. Otherwise, the place will be so big that there won’t be many people left.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Yes, this is a safe island. Our last guarantee. And once we have an order to retreat, we can rely on this Restriction to escape smoothly. Therefore, ensuring that our people enter is the most important thing.”
Ning’e Aba asked, “How are the battles on horseback arranged?”
Wu Yang said, “Four lines of defense!”
“Don’t be ridiculous,” said Lei Xingfeng. “How can we have four lines of defense with such a small number of people? It’s barely enough for us to have two.”
Wu Yang said, Instead, he took turns to retreat, formed by two lines of defense, If the first line of defense couldn’t withstand it, He retreated behind the second line of defense, Take a break, This may be a very short period of time, When the cultivators of the second line of defense were unable to withstand it, “They will retreat to the new defensive line behind them. This way, they will only alternate once at most. This will form four defensive lines. The fourth defensive line will be formed by cultivators from the two defensive lines. At that time, they will either complete the mission in two days or be completely annihilated.”
Lei Xingfeng smiled bitterly and said, “I don’t even have the confidence to listen.”
“Actually, I don’t have any confidence. This is a war of attrition. When our team has used up enough, it will only take about two days. Even if we complete the mission, we will probably die. It depends on who has good luck and may be able to pick up a life back.” Dalei said domineeringly.
Wu Yang said, “It’s not that serious. For us, the chances of survival are even greater. It’s just that they … are not enough.” He looked at the cultivators who were still resting. This time, their two teams were located at the second line of defense. If they could not hold on, they would retreat to the fourth line. He did not know how many of them would be able to return to the Restriction Slaughter Formation alive. If they could successfully retreat to the Restriction Slaughter Formation, their chances of survival would increase exponentially.
Lei Xingfeng said, “Try to organize well. Order is better than disorder.”
Wu Yang said, “According to the way you organized your team, your combat strength has indeed improved a lot. Moreover, with experts taking care of you, the casualties are much lighter than the other teams. Well, it’s too late to remind them. As long as they follow the previous preparations, I believe they should be fine.”
At this time, someone urged the troops to enter the second line of defense.
Wu Yang and Da Lieba organized a team to arrive at the second line of defense. Actually, the second line of defense was only a hundred meters away from the first line of defense. To cultivators, it would only take a few breaths of time to cross the distance. It was really very close.
There were nearly 10,000 cultivators on the first line of defense, and almost the same on the second line. With this posture, Lei Xingfeng immediately understood that this was exhaustion. The outsiders relied on a large number of people, while the cultivators relied on a slightly higher level of strength with the help of a defensive Restriction.
Outsiders were still gathering. Large numbers of outsiders surged out from the mountains. The number of outsiders quickly recovered to the previous number, but they still hadn’t stopped. They were still coming out of the mountains in large numbers.
Lei Xingfeng said, “It’s simply desperate! It’s endless … How many troops will the outsiders have to gather before it’s over?”
Wu Yang said, “They want to destroy us in one breath, and then start to take revenge crazily.”
Cultivators’ morale was rather low, because their opponents were still increasing their troops. Originally, they had to deal with two or three people by themselves, but now, they might have to deal with five or six people. If they fought, there was almost no hope of winning. All the cultivators were suffering.
No one wanted to fight this battle, but it was not enough to not fight. Lei Xingfeng watched coldly and knew that it was not good. He said, “Our mission is to defend against half a day’s worth of battles on the same front. I think it’s hard. Not to mention half a day, it’s very difficult for a few hours. No one has the awareness to fight to the death.”
Wu Yang shook his head slightly and said, “They are all people from different sects. They are not familiar with each other, nor do they have the spirit of unity and cooperation. Our team is better. After all, we have been running into each other for a while and have been divided into small groups. The other teams will know.”
The battle began more than an hour later. The outsiders once again used the advantage of their large numbers. Waves after waves of pressure came over. This time, the cultivators on the first front clearly did not have any spirit. After fighting for only two hours, they collapsed and retreated like a tide.
Lei Xingfeng, Wu Yang, and Da Lieba’s expressions all changed. Lei Xingfeng shouted, “Don’t let them charge into the team!”
The inspectors also roared repeatedly, forcing the collapsed cultivators to turn around and fight. They killed many retreating cultivators and attacked the outsiders at the same time.
However, the number of inspectors was too small. Within a few breaths, the cultivators from the first front had arrived at the second front.
No matter what, we cannot allow the routed troops to charge into the front lines, Therefore, Tedes did not hesitate to give the order to attack. He immediately howled. Whether it was an outsider or a retreating cultivator, a large number of them fell. At this moment, at least half of the nearly 10,000 cultivators had died. There were some who could only turn around and kill them. They were immediately drowned in the crowd of outsiders.
Before the cultivators on the first front could retreat to the third front, they had already lost more than half of their strength. Only a few Heavenly Monarchs, Daojun, were still fighting. After all, their strengths were different. As for cultivators below the Heavenly Monarch level, they were almost dead and injured.
The battle quickly turned white-hot. Because of their powerful strength, the Celestial Monarchs and Daojun quickly entered the second front. They could only grind their teeth and continue to fight. Instead, they strengthened the second front.
The Supervisory Corps also joined the second front. At this time, it didn’t matter whether they supervised the battle or not. Once they lost, they wouldn’t be able to escape either.
Thanks to the participation of Celestial Lord and Daojun, as well as Patriarch Daojun, the entire second front was stabilized. All of these cultivators were desperate. Seeing the people on the first front die so badly, they didn’t have any thoughts of escaping at all. Their only thought was to kill all the outsiders in front of them.
On Lei Xingfeng’s side, battle groups shouted out loudly to fight heartily and support each other. Wu Yang and Patriarch Daojun were the fire brigades. They would rush to the rescue wherever they couldn’t get out of the encirclement.
