Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16407 Night Raid
After hearing his words, Chang Jun responded with a nod, and then said, "That works, let's do it that way then, what do you all think?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, indicating their approval of the approach. Seeing that no one objected, Chang Jun said directly, "Alright, it's settled then. Everyone go and prepare; we'll move out tonight." Everyone responded, stood up, bowed to Chang Jun, and then went to make preparations.

General Li and his team's underground base was also being built smoothly and quickly. They used the Blood Slaughter Sect's method, and all the passages in the base were designed to be very narrow. However, since they did not establish a land-solidification array, they could widen these passages if they wanted, but it would just take more time.

As for magic arrays, these underground bases don't have them yet. Building magic arrays in underground bases is not an easy task, so none of their underground bases have magic arrays yet. General Li knows this is dangerous. If the Blood Slaughter Sect attacks them, people on other mountains will not be able to provide support via teleportation arrays. Therefore, General Li made another arrangement: once the Blood Slaughter Sect attacks a mountain, that mountain will immediately send out a signal, and people on other mountains must come to support them as soon as possible.

At the same time, General Li also ordered the construction of magic arrays in various bases, and the faster the better. However, those bases were not so easy to build, so so far, there are no magic arrays in the bases.

After dark, the Blood Slaughter Sect's army began to assemble. This time, they weren't just going to attack one underground base. They now had a total of seventy-nine mountain peaks, and they planned to send troops from all seventy-nine peaks at the same time to attack the surrounding bases. Their method was to besiege the point and then attack the reinforcements. Of course, the point that was besieged in the end also had to be captured by them.

Chang Jun personally led a team to attack a Divine Kingdom base next to their base. However, just as they were about to reach the base, they split up. One group attacked the base, while the other group ambushed the area around it, preparing to attack those who came to provide support.

Once they were all ready, Chang Jun contacted people at other bases to see if they were also prepared. They planned to act at the same time that night, which would further disperse the Divine Kingdom's forces and make it easier for them to succeed.

Moreover, this time, they don't really intend to kill all the people in the Divine Kingdom here at Thousand Lotus Mountain. Tonight, they are not here to occupy territory. Their main purpose is actually to kill people.

Once Chang Jun received news that the other teams were also ready, he immediately ordered the army to launch an attack. Following his order, those responsible for attacking the various bases launched their attacks directly.

After the bases of those divine kingdoms were attacked, they immediately sent out a signal. Clusters of white energy flew into the sky and then exploded. This was the signal they had agreed upon.

General Li's base hadn't been attacked, but they saw a signal in the sky. General Li immediately sent men to support that base, but soon, bursts of white light erupted in the sky. General Li's expression changed, and he immediately said, "It looks like tonight will be a full-scale attack by the Blood Slaughter Sect. Have the unattacked bases send men to support them immediately." Someone responded immediately and then went to relay the order.

General Li did not go; as the commander, he naturally had to stay in the rear to observe the situation and give orders. However, the people from their base were sent out.

The cultivators from the divine kingdom flew straight towards the attacked base. Just as they were about to reach it, countless magical artifacts suddenly flew out from the ground and attacked them. The cultivators were in a hurry to provide assistance and did not expect that the enemy would ambush them on the way. So they were caught off guard and many were killed instantly. However, they quickly reacted and set up their defenses and began to counterattack. But this time, the Blood Slaughter Sect had sent a large number of people to ambush them, and the group was struggling to hold on. They wanted to retreat, but they could not because they were entangled by the Blood Slaughter Sect.

However, this wasn't the only team that came to support this base. Chang Jun and his team couldn't ambush the other teams, so those teams still went to the base that Chang Jun and his team had attacked.

However, the base has now been breached by the Blood Slaughter Sect, and the reinforcements who entered the base immediately engaged in battle with the Blood Slaughter Sect members.

That night, the entire Thousand Lotus Mountain was thrown into chaos. One side had planned ahead, while the other was outmaneuvered. Overall, the Blood Slaughter Sect gained a significant advantage. Many of the support teams sent by the Divine Kingdom were ambushed and wiped out by the Blood Slaughter Sect. Of course, the Blood Slaughter Sect also suffered considerable losses, especially those who had infiltrated the underground base. However, they managed to retreat, killing many of those inside the underground base and those who had laid the ambush.

By dawn, the fighting had largely ceased. The Blood Slaughter Sect members retreated to their bases, as did the people from the Divine Kingdom. Both sides were taking stock of their losses.

In fact, the Blood Slaughter Sect's losses are easy to quantify, and their losses are not very significant, since those who died in battle can be resurrected. However, those who died in battle cannot participate in operations again in the short term.

Meanwhile, General Li was also tallying the losses, but the results surprised him. He looked at the person in charge of the statistics and said, "You mean we lost more than a million people last night?"

The man responded and then said, "Yes, General. To be precise, the losses exceed 1.5 million. This is only a preliminary estimate. If we were to make a detailed count, our losses would likely be even greater."

General Li nodded, and then said, "Send letters to the representatives of each sect and family, and tell them to come to the meeting."

Someone immediately responded and went to fetch reinforcements. Before long, they all arrived at General Li's base. General Li was already waiting for them in the conference room. After everyone had arrived, General Li looked at them and said, "You all know about last night's attack, but you may not know that we lost more than 1.5 million people last night. This number is beyond my expectations. I have also asked the battle teams, and the Blood Slaughter Sect actually used the tactic of besieging the point and attacking the reinforcements. So this time our losses are very heavy."

Everyone's faces were solemn. They had all calculated the extent of their own losses, but they didn't know the total losses. So when they heard General Li announce a figure of 1.5 million, they were quite surprised. That was 1.5 million people! Such losses were enormous.

General Li looked at them and then said, "The reason why the losses this time were so great is because we underestimated the strength of the Blood Slaughter Sect and underestimated their audacity. Under such circumstances, they still dared to besiege the point and attack the reinforcements, which shows how confident they are in themselves. After succeeding last night, they will definitely continue to attack today. After all, a tactic is a good tactic until it is cracked. What are your thoughts? How should we break their tactics?"

Upon hearing General Li's words, everyone's expression changed. Then, a cultivator spoke up: "They didn't actually gain any advantage, but our losses were indeed greater than theirs. So they will still attack tonight. What we need to do is figure out how to make their losses greater than ours tonight."

Everyone nodded in agreement with his words. Although he hadn't really said anything, it was indeed the truth. What they really wanted wasn't to wipe out the Blood Slaughter Sect all at once. A powerful force like the Blood Slaughter Sect couldn't afford to fail every time. They just needed to minimize their own losses compared to the Blood Slaughter Sect. The Blood Slaughter Sect already had fewer members than them, so as long as their losses were smaller, the Blood Slaughter Sect would gradually dwindle. Once the Blood Slaughter Sect's numbers had decreased to a certain level, they could launch a full-scale attack.

The elder glanced at the others and then said, "They might not use the 'encircle and annihilate reinforcements' tactic again today. Since they used it yesterday, we will be more careful today, so they won't use that tactic again. Therefore, their attack today will likely focus on our bases, especially those close to the Killing Sect's base. We must be extra careful."

Everyone nodded again. The elder had finally said something useful. The tactic of besieging a point and attacking reinforcements might work once, but it wouldn't work every time. In fact, this tactic relies on surprise. If you use it one day, it's impossible to succeed the next. They understood this, and the Blood Slaughter Sect members understood this as well. Therefore, they probably wouldn't use this tactic again tonight.

If they don't use this tactic, they will definitely attack the base. Once they get into the base, the numerical advantage of the Divine Kingdom will be useless. The Blood Slaughter Sect is very clear about its weaknesses, so they will definitely enter the base.

The elder continued, "Actually, could we think about it the other way around? If they attack our base, their base defenses will definitely be weak. We can then directly attack their base, and the effect will be very good. Maybe we can even take their base down? Even if we can't take their base down, the Blood Slaughter Sect army that attacked us will return to reinforce us immediately, and the crisis at our base will be resolved."
