I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2066 Layout
General Li Guangli said with a dark face: "I asked someone to estimate that the only cannon with this power is the sky rocket, and the range of the sky rocket is simply not that far."

His voice was firm, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. He knew that his judgment was wrong and the situation of this war was beyond his control.

"Well, you mean, the city of Nanjiang opposite is using cannons that are more powerful than the sky rockets, so you made a wrong judgment?" Zhao Kuo said sarcastically, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of sneer, as if mocking Li Guangli's incompetence.

Li Guangli took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart. He knew that now was not the time to argue, and the outcome of the war was the most important.

"I admit my mistake. General Zhao Kuo, just say whatever you want to say." General Li Guangli said in a deep voice.

Zhao Kuo sneered and said, "Since General Li has admitted his mistake, I won't say much. However, I hope you can adjust your strategy as soon as possible and stop sending our soldiers to die in vain."

His words were full of threats and warnings, as if hinting to Li Guangli that if he did not change his strategy, his position would be lost.

Li Guangli nodded and said nothing more. He knew that the most important thing now was how to turn the tide of the war, not to argue with Zhao Kuo here.

He turned and walked towards the command tent and began to redeploy the troops.

A new military camp has been established, and this time it is very far away from Nanjiang City, but he cannot guarantee that the artillery of Nanjiang City cannot reach it, so he has ordered all the tents to be dispersed and not to be crowded together.

General Li Guangli stood in the makeshift command tent, looking at the map in front of him. His heart was filled with mixed emotions, including anticipation for the upcoming reinforcements and worries about the current battle situation.

"When will the reinforcements arrive?" General Li Guangli's voice was particularly heavy. He had already looked at the casualty figures that had just been counted, and this number was truly horrifying.

A deputy general stepped forward quickly and replied respectfully: "According to the latest news, it will take nearly two days for the reinforcements to arrive."

Li Guangli nodded, frowning, obviously not satisfied with the current situation. He then turned around and gave orders to the generals around him: "Let all soldiers take strict precautions and not be attacked by the enemy again. We must wait patiently for two days."

He had just analyzed all possible offensive strategies in detail in the tent, but no matter which angle he considered, he found it difficult to break through the defenses of Nanjiang City. As long as the powerful sky rockets of Nanjiang City were still there, he could not organize a large-scale attack. Therefore, he could only hope for the upcoming reinforcements.

This support army is said to be extremely powerful, with dozens of Half-Step Divine King Realm warriors, two of whom have even reached the peak of the middle stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm. Their arrival will undoubtedly greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Platinum Divine Domain army.

Li Guangli knew in his heart that as long as these strong men joined the battle, it would be easy to capture Nanjiang City.

Meanwhile, Nanjiang City was not idle either. Liu Jun stood in front of the window of his residence, staring at the gradually darkening sky in the distance. He knew in his heart that tonight's action would determine the fate of the entire Nanjiang City, and might even affect the situation in the entire God Realm.

Liu Jun took a deep breath, turned around and said to the generals in the room: "Huo Qing, Huo Ming, you must gather all the generals of the Jihuo Army immediately. I have something important to announce."

Huo Qing and Huo Ming looked at each other. Although they were confused, they immediately took action when they saw Liu Jun's serious expression. Soon, more than a dozen core generals of the Jihuo Army gathered at Liu Jun's residence.

Liu Jun looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Tonight, you will carry out a secret mission. This matter is of great importance and cannot be missed. No one else must know about it."

The generals looked at each other, and they couldn't help but get nervous. Liu Jun took out a map and a storage ring and put them on the table: "Look at the location of the red circle on the map. You must bury the spirit stone in this ring in the designated place. You can't make any mistakes, and you must hide it so that no one can find it! Do you understand?"

The generals nodded one after another. Although they did not fully understand Liu Jun's intention, they knew from his expression that this matter was of great importance and could not be taken lightly.

As the night deepened, there was silence on the walls of Nanjiang City. Only the soldiers of the Jihuo Army stood quietly, looking around vigilantly. The original Nanjiang City defenders were replaced by Liu Jun. The reason was simple. There must be an enemy spy among the Nanjiang City defenders, and what he was going to do could not be leaked, otherwise the consequences would be too serious.

Liu Jun stood on the city wall, looking at the darkness in the distance, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He knew that this night would be a very important night, and it was also a critical moment for the survival of Nanjiang City.

At this moment, Huo Qing came over and whispered, "Your Majesty, everything is ready, just waiting for your order."

Liu Jun nodded, his eyes firm: "Begin the action, remember, you must be hidden and don't let anyone find you."

Following Liu Jun's order, the elite soldiers of the Jihuo Army quickly took action and quietly buried the spirit stone at the designated location. The whole process went very smoothly and did not attract anyone's attention. Liu Jun stood on the city wall, looking at all this, and felt a little relieved.

However, he knew that the real test had just begun. After burying the spirit stone, he needed to wait for a suitable time to start this secret plan.

At dawn the next day, artillery fire raged in Nanjiang City again, bombarding the new camp of the Platinum Divine Realm once again.

Nanjiang City was like a sleeping beast, but now it opened its bloody mouth and spewed deadly flames. The sound of artillery fire was deafening, as if it was going to tear the world apart. The camp of the Platinum God Realm was once again bombed to pieces, and the soldiers fled in all directions, wailing one after another. But this time, the Fiery Army was not sent to take advantage of the chaos to attack the camp of the Platinum God Realm.

"Fuck you, you shameless bastard!" General Li Guangli stood beside the collapsed command tent, looking in the direction of Nanjiang City, and couldn't help but jump up and down and curse.

There was no way. The reinforcements consisting of dozens of strong men had not arrived yet, and the sky rockets of Nanjiang City were still there. He had no way to deal with the enemy and could only curse them to vent his anger.

The commander-in-chief Zhao Kuo did not taunt Li Guangli again, because his tent was hit directly by a cannonball and Zhao Kuo was almost killed on the spot.

"General, we can't go on like this!" Deputy General Wang Meng came running over in a hurry, his face full of anxiety, "If we continue like this, our morale will completely collapse!"

"Regardless of morale, disperse everyone," General Li Guangli ordered with gritted teeth.

He knew that morale was important, but they really had no better solution at the moment. If they didn't retreat, not only would they lose their morale, but they would also lose their lives.

The sky rockets of Nanjiang City were so powerful and had such a long range that they could not get close at all. And the reinforcements from the Platinum Divine Realm had not arrived yet, so they could only passively take the beating.

"Pass the order down, the entire army retreat 200 miles and set up camp again." Li Guangli said in a deep voice with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Wang Meng nodded and turned to convey the order. Li Guangli stood there, his eyes still fixed on the direction of Nanjiang City. His fists were clenched, his nails dug deep into his palms, and blood dripped from his fingers to the ground. He was filled with anger and resentment, but he was powerless.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard. Li Guangli turned around and saw Zhao Kuo running towards him in a mess. His clothes were scorched black by the artillery fire, his face was covered with dust, and there was a bloodstain on his forehead.

"General Li, we can't retreat any further!" Zhao Kuo said breathlessly, his eyes full of anxiety, "If we retreat any further, the encirclement will be gone!"

Li Guangli glanced at him coldly, sneering in his heart. This Zhao Kuo, who was always arrogant and looked down on everyone, was now in such a state of disgrace that he looked like a lost dog. Although he was dissatisfied with Zhao Kuo in his heart, this was not the time to care about these things.

"Yes, there is no problem. The encirclement will be broken. But General Zhao, do you have any good ideas?" Li Guangli asked calmly with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and said, "We must find a way to destroy the sky rockets in Nanjiang City!"

Li Guangli sneered and said, "General Zhao is talking lightly. The power of the rocket is so great that we can't get close to it at all. How can we destroy it?"

Zhao Kuo was speechless for a moment, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. He really had no better solution, but the situation was critical, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "We can send an elite team to sneak into Nanjiang City at night, find the location of the rocket, and then destroy it!"

Li Guangli shook his head and said, "General Zhao, do you think the defenders of Nanjiang City are fools? They have long expected us to do this and must have deployed heavy troops around the rockets. Once our people get close, they will be discovered and there is no way they can succeed."

Zhao Kuo was silent. He knew that Li Guangli was right. But he was unwilling to passively take the beating. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then we can only wait for reinforcements?"

Li Guangli nodded and said, "Yes, we can only wait for reinforcements. As long as those dozens of strong men arrive, we will have a chance to turn the tide of the battle."

Zhao Kuo sighed, feeling helpless. He knew Li Guangli was right, but for now they could only continue to endure.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried horse hooves in the distance. Li Guangli and Zhao Kuo turned their heads at the same time and saw a messenger running over in a hurry.

"Report to the general, the reinforcements have arrived ahead of schedule!" the messenger said breathlessly, his face full of excitement.

Li Guangli and Zhao Kuo were both stunned, and then their faces showed joy. Li Guangli hurriedly asked: "Where are the reinforcements?"

The messenger pointed behind him and said, "They are on their way and are expected to arrive in half an hour!"

Li Guangli nodded, feeling excited. He knew that as long as the reinforcements arrived, they would have a chance to turn the tide of the battle. He turned to Zhao Kuo and said, "General Zhao, the opportunity has come!"

Zhao Kuo nodded, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and said: "General Li, when the city is broken, let me lead the troops into the city."

Li Guangli was stunned for a moment, then said: "Of course you can"
