Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 138
The enemy troops retreated, but there was a faint smell of blood inside and outside Chiying City.

Li Yuan, Chu Junyan, and Chu Qingyan stood on the tall and thick city wall, looking into the distance with extremely solemn expressions.

In the Lingmeng army, they have already sensed no less than [-] people in the Tianwu realm. If they attack with all their strength regardless of everything, it will be difficult for Chiying City to resist.

But there is one thing to be happy about. Today's first battle was won by them. The Chu League army's momentum rose sharply. Moreover, Fang Shiyuan successfully broke through the Heaven Martial Realm, and Li Yuan gained another high-end combat power.

Back in the city, the general had already counted the casualties for the day. In this siege, the Chu League had nearly [-] casualties, while the Ling League had about [-] to [-] casualties.

"Everyone, how should we face Lingmeng's attack next?"

On the main seat, Li Yuan looked around the crowd with a serious expression, and below were some important generals and advisers.

Everyone in today's World War I knew that this was just a temptation.

The reason why Lingmeng didn't dare to make a general attack now was because he was afraid that Chumeng might have some hidden means.

After all, one of the members of the Chu League is from the royal family and the other is from the Zhenguo Mansion.

Before, the Ximen family was scared by Chu Junyan.

If you want to prevent the enemy from attacking, you must first change the enemy's thinking.

"Your Highness, Eldest Miss, Second Miss, my subordinates think that Lingmeng's next step is likely to detour to Red Eagle City and attack Xingcheng and Yuancheng, so as to encircle Red Eagle City."

A scribe in Tsing Yi spoke first, his name was Song Heng, a counselor under Chu Junyan's command, and his resourcefulness was quite extraordinary.

Jia Xu, Liang Wenyu, Wu Yong and others nodded upon hearing the words. The Chu League has few soldiers, and most of the main forces are in Chiying City. Don't worry, even if Red Eagle City has any hidden means, it won't help.

Chu Qingyan's subordinate Jiang Tian said:
"So we want to reinforce the two cities now, but if our Red Eagle City has a small force, they deliberately let us disperse our troops to reinforce the two cities, and then turn to attack Red Eagle City?"

This idea was nodded and approved by many generals.

However, Song Heng showed a meaningful smile:
"I mean, can we send troops to ambush the enemy troops who are attacking Xingcheng and Yuancheng by detour, and attack back and forth with the defenders of the two cities!"

"My Chu League has a powerful cavalry army called Yinhui Yueqi. It would be too wasteful to stay in the city and defend the city."

When Song Heng said Yinhui Yueqi, everyone looked at the indifferent Chu Junyan.

Yinhui Yueqi, the famous cavalry army of the Dayu Dynasty, numbered only [-], the strongest cavalry under Chu Junyan's command, directly commanded by Chu Junyan.

Chu Junyan looked at Song Heng, and said calmly:
"You keep talking."

After receiving Chu Junyan's affirmation, Song Heng continued:
"I have a bold idea."

"We now have a total of [-] cavalry in Chiying City, including [-] cavalry under the command of the King of Chu, [-] cavalry under the command of the Second Miss, and [-] cavalry under the command of the Eldest Miss. These cavalry are a powerful combat force. , It would be too wasteful if we released Chiying City to defend the city.

Why don't we send all these cavalry out of the city and hide them within the boundaries of our three cities.

One is to use the mobility of the cavalry to ambush the enemy troops heading for Xingcheng and Zhongyuancheng.

Second, it is also to deter the enemy troops of Lingmeng and prevent them from acting rashly.

Third, once the three cities encounter a crisis, they can quickly support or harass the enemy's rear. "

Hearing Song Heng's words, Wu Yong frowned, and said:

"If the cavalry are hidden outside the city, what should we do if the Lingmeng fights against these cavalry? Is it too dangerous?"

Song Heng thought to himself: "If Lingmeng dares to encircle and suppress the cavalry, wouldn't it be just right? The boundary between the three cities is our territory. Our reinforcement speed is faster than theirs. The initiative is in our hands, and we will be more confident at that time. Destroy the enemy."

Li Yuan and Jia Xu looked at each other and nodded slightly, it was a good idea.

Now they can only defend passively. It may take a long time to find the flaws of Lingmeng, and the cavalry may become a breakthrough.

Consuming the enemy's strength little by little, it would be even better if we could use this to lure Lingmeng Tianwu Realm powerhouses over and deal with them.

The boundaries of the three cities are vast, and the mountains and dense forests are enough to hide the traces of cavalry.

Chu Junyan looked at Li Yuan and asked, "What do you think, King Chu?"

Li Yuan's expression was very hesitant, and he said with a bit of distress:

"Letting the cavalry hide outside the city, although the advantages are great, the disadvantages are obvious. Now that the enemy is outnumbered, if the cavalry we send out is ambushed by the Lingmeng, it will be a great loss for our Chumeng."

Chu Qingyan seemed to have known that Li Yuan would say that, narrowed her eyes, and said with a smile:

"If His Royal Highness the King of Chu is afraid of the loss of cavalry, your cavalry don't need to go out of the city, and you can stay in Chiying Town to guard. Let me go out with my sister's cavalry."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he wanted to agree, but at this moment, Jia Xu coughed.

"Cough cough!"

Ok?
Li Yuan paused, turned around and saw Jia Xu nodding slightly, and immediately understood what Jia Xu meant, with a puzzled expression on his brows, he met the eyes of everyone, and finally sighed:

"Okay, this king agrees to send out all the cavalry, but the target of [-] cavalry is too big. We are divided into three cavalry armies, and we will guard and help each other in the boundaries of the three cities. Each cavalry army needs to send at least one strong man in the Tianwu realm to hide inside."

Li Yuan's eyes swept across Chu Junyan and Chu Qingyan, he knew that these two people must still be hiding a strong person in the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Seeing that Li Yuan agreed, Chu Qingyan's smile remained unchanged.

"It's natural!"

........................

Li Yuan took Jia Xu, Yuwen Chengdu, and Zhong Limei back to his mansion to continue discussing who to send.

Back at the mansion, Li Yuan smiled and introduced to everyone:

"Everyone, this time we have two more colleagues: Ma Chao and Xu Chu!"

I saw two figures coming out of the back hall.

One has a face like a crown jade, a tiger body and ape arms, and eyes like shooting stars.

One is more than eight feet long, with a waist of ten circumferences, and a majestic appearance.

"Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi has met all colleagues!"

"Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang has seen all his colleagues."

"Jia Xu!"

"Yuwen Chengdu!"

"Zhong Liying!"

After the five people met, they all looked at each other.

"Lord Jia, long time no see!"

Seeing Jia Xu, Xu Chu showed a sense of closeness.

Jia Xu smiled and nodded, "Zhongkang, long time no see."

When Ma Chao saw Jia Xu, his eyes flashed, he turned to look at Zhong Limei, clasped his fists and said:

"General Zhong Limei, I have admired your name for a long time!"

Seeing Ma Chao's extraordinary momentum and heroic majesty, Zhong Limei responded kindly.

After Xu Chu and Ma Chao greeted Jia Xu and Zhong Limei, they looked at Yu Wencheng behind Li Yuan, their eyes full of dignity.

They all felt the terrifying power contained in this person, and he was undoubtedly the strongest among them.

So they looked very solemn.

Yu Wencheng also smiled kindly at them.

Jia Xu looked at Ma Chao and said with a kind smile:
"The famous General Shenwei is finally fortunate to be a colleague today."

Seeing Jia Xu taking the initiative to express closeness to him, Ma Chao sighed inwardly, with a ray of respect showing on his face:
"Master Jia's talent is unparalleled, Meng Qi admires it!"

After a friendly exchange, everyone sat down in their respective seats, their faces became solemn, and they waited for Li Yuan above to speak.

"Today, Chu Junyan and Chu Qingyan plan to send cavalry out of the city, what do you guys think?"

Zhong Limei said: "Your Highness, what they said is correct. Lingmeng is likely to go around and attack Xingcheng. We want reinforcements. Sending cavalry to reinforce is the best choice, and cavalry staying in the city is of little use."

Li Yuan nodded in agreement, then looked at Jia Xu, who lightly shook his feather fan and said with a smile:

"Your Highness, we once suspected that the Wang family had taken refuge in Chu Junyan, and now I believe it again."

"Oh~!"

Li Yuan frowned.

"Although Chu Junyan told various reasons, she still couldn't conceal her inner self-confidence, which shows that she is very sure that the cavalry sent out of the city will be fine."

At this time, the cavalry is roaming in the boundary of the three cities, what is the most important thing?
It's intelligence!
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, met Jia Xu's gaze, and said quietly: "So they are also testing this king!"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "A powerful alliance can often be disintegrated from within!"

"You mean, we can fake this news to Ling Meng and make them suspect each other!"

"Facts will prove the truth of the rumor!"

........................

In Zhenxin City, after the Lingmeng army retreated, the top leaders of the four major forces gathered together to discuss a move.

Jiang Kun smiled a little, because Cheng Haonan, the young master of Loyalty Hall, successfully broke through the Heavenly Martial Realm, and now he is consolidating his cultivation in the secret room.

Ximen Lintian sighed and said: "Our Ximen family lost face in the battle today. I didn't expect Ao Lie to be defeated by Xing Daorong."

"Xing Daorong is the number one general under Chu Qingyan's command, sooner or later he will be killed!"

An elder of the Lieyan Sect said bitterly, because Yang Changkong, the holy son of the Lieyan Sect that he was very optimistic about, died in the hands of Xing Daorong.

"Next, what should we do?"

"Whether to continue to attack the city, today on the top of the city, there are no more than a dozen auras of the strong Tianwu realm in the Chu League. This time we can send the strong Tianwu realm to follow the army to attack together!"

A banner owner surnamed Qian in Zhongyi Hall was full of evil spirits, with big arms and round waists, waving his strong arms and arrogantly said:

"That's right, we have forty Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouses here. If we attack together, we will definitely be wiped out in one fell swoop. There's no need for Wuxuba to waste his time."

His words were unanimously approved by everyone in the Loyalty Hall. In one sentence:

Done!

Many people frowned upon hearing the words of Qian Banner Master of Loyalty Hall.

But this is tantamount to starting a war.

"It is certain that there are less powerful people in the Heavenly Martial Realm of the Chu League than us, but now we need to find out another point. How many are there, are there only two, and what is their strength?"

Everyone looked at Ximen Lintian and Liu Qingquan.

Because they have fought against the Venerables of both sides.

"The Venerable behind Chu Junyan is the late Dharma Venerable!"

Ximen Lintian's eyes showed a dignified look. The middle-stage Dharma Venerable of their Ximen family was injured by him. If it hadn't been for the late-stage Dharma Venerable from Zhongyi Hall, the ancestor of the Ximen family might have disappeared.

Liu Qingquan's pale face continued to cough:
"The venerable behind the King of Chu is also at the late stage of the Dharma Venerable Realm. I was defeated by him with one move. If I hadn't run fast, I'm afraid I would have confessed there!"

Wang Xin said in a deep voice: "If there are only two late Dharma Venerables, we can still solve it."

"But I'm afraid they still hide a venerable!"

This is what they are worried about. Now each faction has a venerable. The venerable of Zhongyitang is the late Dharma Venerable, the Ximen family's venerable is the middle Dharma Venerable, and the Wang family is the middle Dharma Venerable. Yanzong Liu Qingquan is also in the middle stage of Dharma Venerable Realm.

Among them, the patriarch of the Ximen family and Liu Qingquan were both slightly injured, and it took a little time to recover from their injuries before they could recover their full combat power.

Only the three venerables in the middle stage of Dharma Venerable Realm can deal with the late Dharma Venerable Realm.

If there is one less, the two venerables in the middle stage of the Dharma Venerable Realm are not opponents in the late stage of the Dharma Venerable Realm. If the late Dharma Venerable Realm venerables attack one of them with all their strength, the venerable in the middle stage of the Dharma Venerable Realm will die.

This is more serious than the death of ten strong people at the peak of Tianwu Realm, and they cannot afford to lose at all.

If the two late Dharma Venerables from the Chu League block the four Lingmengs, and there will still be one from the Chu League, what about the Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouse who is attacking the city?
The Dharma Venerable Realm and the Heavenly Martial Realm are not in the same realm at all. Even a venerable who has just entered the Dharma Venerable Realm at the early stage can deal with a strong man at the peak of the Tianwu Realm with one palm.

The Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouses are the core pillars of their strength. The loss of a lot of Heavenly Martial Realm due to carelessness before has made them heartbroken. In addition, now that the troubled times are coming, every Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouse is a precious resource, and they need to be very cautious.

At this time, Ximen Aolong stood up and said to everyone:
"How about this, we continue to send half of our troops to attack the city and suppress the Red Eagle City army inside the city, and then we send the other half of our troops to bypass Red Eagle City and attack Xingcheng and Yuancheng!"

Loyalty Hall Lu Zhiyao's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and he agreed:

"Young Master Ximen is right. We have two venerables in Lingmeng who need time to recuperate. Since we don't want to start a big battle for the time being, we can use this time to attack the other two cities. Xingcheng and Yuancheng are short of troops. We can totally take it!"

An elder of Lie Yanzong also agreed: "That's right, once Xingcheng and Yuancheng are taken by us, then in Dongrong County and Huirong County in the rear, we can send troops straight in, cut off all their back routes, At that time, Red Eagle City is surrounded by us, even if Red Eagle City has any cards, we can deal with it calmly!"

"However, what if they guess that we are going to take a detour to attack Xingcheng and Yuancheng? What if they set up an ambush on the way?"

Some people frowned, expressing their disapproval of this strategy.

"It would be better if Red Eagle City sent troops. They are now a tortoise shell in Red Eagle City, which is difficult to break. Isn't it a good opportunity for us to eliminate them when they come out.

We have many times more troops than them, so what if we let them ambush, we can afford to lose [-] troops, even if they only lose [-] troops, would they dare to fight us? "

But more agree with Ximen Aolong's strategy.

"We can attack one city first, and after taking it down, we can attack the next city."
