Chapter 204 The day of the decisive battle, let's go all in

As Cheng Hui spoke, he stretched out his hands and handed a cigarette-sized roll of paper to Geng Xuan.

Geng Xuan took it, unfolded it and looked at it carefully.

Ever since he had a deep talk with Liu Yueji last time when he went to Santongji, the focus of the work of a group of rangers with him as the core has changed from food transportation to the preliminary preparations for the "Great Relocation of Nomadic Settlements" plan.

According to Liu Yueji's idea, the actual implementation phase of this plan must be carried out immediately after all the preliminary work is in place, and it should be completed within one or two days.

However, the most difficult, time-consuming and energy-consuming part is the early preparation stage of the plan.

This includes determining which homeless settlements to include in the plan, where they are specifically located, and whether there are any missed or more deeply hidden homeless settlements in the area.

Then, based on the different situations of these nomadic settlements, the most reasonable "relocation plan" is designed.

The last and most difficult part is to persuade these nomadic communities to participate in this plan.

This is actually a very thankless task.

In addition, in order to avoid the news from being leaked and the action from spreading before it even started, Liu Yueji only selected some truly trustworthy rangers to participate in the matter in the early stage.

But after returning from Qingyuanji this time, the hundred rangers who had made considerable contributions during the grain transportation all became the most fanatical supporters of this plan.

These rangers who can make significant contributions during the food transportation are basically surrounded by a group of ranger partners who can do things and get things done.

Otherwise, relying solely on the contribution of one person, one would not be able to make it into Liu Yueji's "List of 100 People".

With the fanatical support of these people, not only did Liu Yueji's "Great Relocation Plan for Nomadic Settlements" begin to be implemented at a faster pace.

The group of vagrants who originally just gathered around Liu Yueji and did a little bit of temporary work gradually showed a trend of becoming long-term, stable and orderly.

This is different from a force with strict hierarchy and order, and it is still decentralized.

Liu Yueji's change in this group is not to become the leader of a force, but to become something like the leader of the martial arts world.

When everyone recognizes and supports him, the energy he can exert is no less than that of the head of a faction, or may even be greater.

But if everyone abandons him, he will immediately return to his original state.

Soon, at the moment, with these hundred people as the core, and through their "roots" deeply rooted in various markets in Yueluyuan, Liu Yueji's understanding of the 72 markets in Yueluyuan instantly reached a whole new level.

Among them, the group of rangers within the Yueluyuan area have the most profound understanding, just like reading the lines on the palm of your hand.

Therefore, when groups of rangers who were at odds with the ranger groups centered around Liu Yueji suddenly "disappeared" on a large scale in various parts of Yueluyuan, with the total number reaching as many as two or three thousand, Liu Yueji knew about it at the first time.

Such a large-scale ranger operation, no matter how careful and low-key it is, cannot be hidden from everyone.

Not to mention, the ranger group itself is known for being well-informed.

So, after just a little research, Liu Yueji knew that these groups of rangers who had disappeared from various places in Yueluyuan were being organized.

In units of one or two hundred people, without knowing each other, they moved quickly to the west of Yueluyuan, that is, in the direction of Chiwu Mountain.

And now, what is happening near Chiwu Mountain west of Yueluyuan may not be known to other forces in Yueluyuan, but how could Liu Yueji not know?

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, he immediately sent a pigeon message to warn Geng Xuan.

After reading the warning message sent by Liu Yueji, Geng Xuan's expression became solemn.

He asked Cheng Hui, "Have you informed Hong Quan and Jiang Hongyi of this news?"

Cheng Hui shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Geng Xuan originally wanted him to share the news with them immediately, but after thinking about it, he suppressed the idea.

According to the information provided by Liu Yueji, these groups of rangers will arrive one after another tonight.

Therefore, the presence of this support force will have no impact on today's battle situation.

Jiang Hongyi, Hong Quan and others were already under great pressure from the enemy's "powerful and heavy" attack.

Informing them of this news at this time will put more pressure on them, thus affecting their current performance.

No benefit at all.

So, he said, "Then don't tell them this news for now."

"Yes." Cheng Hui replied.

"Continue to pay attention to the movements of this group of rangers." Geng Xuan said again.

"Yes."

Cheng Hui agreed at first, then made a suggestion:

"Boss, I want to send a batch of carrier pigeons to Liu Yueji."

"Oh, what do you think?"

Cheng Hui replied:
“You gave me so many pigeons. If I don’t use them but keep them in cages, it would be a waste.

But I just discussed it with Deputy Gang Leader Feng, and the gang can't provide me with too many people.

In a short period of time, it is impossible to make full use of the more than 900 carrier pigeons relying on the manpower within the gang.

Moreover, even if our gang can provide me with enough manpower, it is not an easy task to spread the strongholds throughout Yueluyuan.

It is not an easy task for our people to blend in everywhere and lurk unnoticed.

However, these problems are not problems at all for the rangers.

Not only do they have sufficient manpower, but they have also been rooted in various markets for many years, and their information coverage is very wide.

Given Liu Yueji's current market situation, it is not difficult for her to find a group of trustworthy rangers.

Therefore, as long as we hand this matter over to him, our information network in Yueluyuan will be fully deployed in a very short time."

Geng Xuan nodded. Isn’t this just “outsourcing”?

There are actually many disadvantages.

However, he was never afraid of any drawbacks.

He immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Okay... However, all the Rangers responsible for sending and receiving carrier pigeons must be temporary members of my Giant Bear Gang. You must make this clear to Liu Yueji in advance."

"Yes."

Seeing that his suggestion was passed so smoothly, Cheng Hui happily accepted the order.

After Cheng Hui left, Geng Xuan's thoughts returned to the fact that the enemy had more than 3,000 additional rangers as reinforcements.

He was certain that this must be the result of the secret promotion of Wuyou Palace.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Wuyou Palace was really a "treasure boy". He didn't take action himself, but through various means, he dug out so many "delicacies" for him.

He doesn't need to go find it himself, it will be delivered to his mouth.

Geng Xuan originally welcomed the arrival of this group of knights.

But when this group of more than 3,000 ranger reinforcements arrived at once, the situation became a little fatal for the current situation.

Combined with the "video" intelligence provided by Huang Er and the intensity of the battle on the front line today.

Geng Xuan was basically certain that just last night, more than a thousand enemy reinforcements had arrived.

However, the "giant bear" had no intention of being careful with this group of new reinforcements.

Just like yesterday, he went all-in and threw all his soldiers and the reinforcements numbering over a thousand into the battlefield.

This resulted in the enemy deploying the largest number of soldiers on the front line ever.

The result is that the intensity of today's fighting is even greater than yesterday's.

This is just a random punch, a style of fighting that completely disregards the consequences.

If it weren't for the fact that our own troops still had the upper hand, and if it weren't for the "blessing ceremony" we held last night for the over a thousand seriously injured and newly recovered soldiers.

If they could free up nearly a thousand combat-ready soldiers again, Jiang Hongyi, Hong Quan and the others would completely collapse under such pressure.

The characteristics of both sides are more clearly reflected at this time.

For "Big Bear" and the group of people under his command, they are not afraid of having more soldiers at hand.

At least, at the level of thousands, the more troops they have, the better they can perform.

But for the "Linzhan Hall" headed by Jiang Hongyi and Hong Quan, the situation was just the opposite.

Although, Geng Xuan has already maximized the advantages of his grassroots team through the "tactics of deploying troops".

However, the more troops that need to be mobilized, the greater the intensity of the battle, and the more frequent the dispatch operations of the grassroots teams, the more obviously their immaturity and awkwardness in military tactics will be exposed.

Now, with the arrival of just over a thousand reinforcements, this is the situation.

Tomorrow, with the arrival of more than 3,000 ranger reinforcements, Jiang Hongyi, Hong Quan and others will really collapse.

These days, although they have been learning and improving rapidly and greedily at the cost of thousands of casualties on both sides of the enemy and ourselves.

They are now much better than they were on the first day.

But when the intensity exceeds a certain limit, it can defeat them.

And judging by the style displayed by the "giant bear" in the past two days, Geng Xuan was almost certain that the other party would never send its more than 3,000 ranger reinforcements to the battlefield bit by bit.

But just like yesterday and today, we will use as many troops as we have.

All in at once.

Smash them all!

The other party's mentality is that it would be best if they could crush their own side.

If it can't be smashed, it will be convenient for him to make other plans early.

With a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he was becoming increasingly impatient to continue entangled with himself in this small Qingyuan Collection.

This is the wisest choice for the "Big Bear".

But for him, this is a very tricky problem.

If he continued to watch from the sidelines without interfering too much as he had done in the past few days, Jiang Hongyi, Hong Quan and others would basically be knocked out by this powerful punch from the "Giant Bear".

If he interfered too much, the "giant bear"'s all-out attack would still fail to break through his own defense line.

Unless more reinforcements arrive immediately, this "giant bear" will most likely lead his troops to flee immediately.

There is no way I can continue to stay here and get entangled with myself in vain.

After thinking this through, Geng Xuan made a decision in his heart and couldn't help but sigh:
"Plans still can't keep up with changes."

……

Gradually gaining a clearer grasp of the direction of the enemy and our side tomorrow, Geng Xuan readjusted his original plan.

After that, he continued as if nothing had happened and devoted himself to cultivation wholeheartedly.

On this day, after a day of bloody fighting, both sides sounded the retreat and stopped fighting before dark as usual.

Geng Xuan also temporarily stopped practicing.

After this day of training, his strength was once again significantly improved.

After consuming sixty-four points of luck, the "Overlord Sky-lifting Finger", which was originally at the master level, was upgraded to the grandmaster level by him.

By the way, Geng Xuan also consumed another 24 points of luck to upgrade his "Horse Judging Skill" from great success to master level.

As one advances to the master level in the art of horse judging, in addition to being able to establish a more stable and closer vital energy connection with Xuanyou horses and other horse breeds.

Geng Xuan also discovered that he had some new insights into "wind", or more precisely, "wind resistance".

The result was that when he ran at full speed, his speed suddenly increased significantly from the original level.

The wind resistance becomes greater and greater due to the high speed.

——This is also the main reason why after a cultivator’s speed reaches a certain level, it is difficult to increase linearly along with the improvement of his cultivation.

It suddenly became much smaller.

In other words, his body naturally knows how to reduce this resistance and turn it from a resistance into a power.

When he ran quickly, blown by the howling wind, his skin and deeper muscles would fluctuate in a way that seemed random but actually contained a regular pattern.

The effect is to significantly increase his speed from the original level.

After testing, Geng Xuan discovered that his already extremely fast speed, after such a blessing, became even faster than the Xuanyou horse running at full speed.

This is not a new skill, but after his "horse-judging skills" reached the master level, his body seemed to understand this principle naturally.

……

After finishing his training, Geng Xuan went straight to the "Linzhan Hall".

Hong Quan reported today's battle situation to Geng Xuan.

I only heard him say with a serious face:
"The enemy has deployed more than 2,800 troops today. Whether it is the scale of the troops deployed, the intensity of the battle, or the pressure on us, it is far greater than before.

In order to deal with the enemy's heavy attack, we mobilized more than 3,600 soldiers. "

"Except for the 'Beast War,' the casualties on both sides were the highest ever."

"By the time both sides ceased fighting, according to rough statistics, we had killed over 600 enemies on the spot, and over 200 were seriously injured and unable to fight."

"Two hundred and fourteen of our men were killed and five hundred and sixty-eight were seriously injured."

Hong Quan paused and added, "Of the 568 seriously injured, 67 were disabled and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. After recovering from their injuries, 501 were able to return to battle."

Geng Xuan nodded and asked, "How many enemy troops do you think are still capable of fighting?"

Hong Quan said:
"Aside from the four hundred or so Xuanyou Iron Cavalry, the enemy still has about two thousand troops that can be immediately deployed into battle."

"What about us?" Geng Xuan paused and said, "Don't exclude those who have made great contributions. As long as they can be used by us now, we should include them all."

Upon hearing this, Hong Quan lowered his head and thought.

Jiang Hongyi next to him replied:
“Two days ago, Wei Wanzong and Qi Kun took away the soldiers from Wubailifang.

According to the news from Cheng Hui, they had returned to Kangle Village yesterday and replaced the other 500 soldiers from Yonghefang.

Led by two newly promoted marrow refiners, these five hundred soldiers traveled day and night and have now passed Santongji. They will arrive at Qingyuanji tonight.

If we count these five hundred soldiers, our Xuanyou Iron Cavalry, and the high-contributors we have been holding down, the total number of troops we can mobilize is over five thousand one hundred."

Compared with the enemy, one thing that is very "cheating" on our side is that most of the enemy's casualties are deaths on the spot, and even if they are seriously injured, they will most likely die in the end.

Even if he didn't die, he would not be able to become a combat force for the enemy in a short period of time, but would instead be a burden.

As for our side, because their teamwork was far superior to that of the other side, most of them were seriously injured, and not many died directly on the spot.

Except for those who are seriously injured and have physical disabilities, basically everyone can return to battle.

In more extreme cases, even if one is physically disabled, one can still demonstrate some combat effectiveness.

Geng Xuan nodded and asked, "What about the combat power at the marrow refining level?"

Jiang Hongyi, who had originally looked relatively relaxed, couldn't help but tremble after hearing this.

He shook his head and said, "Except for you, the leader, our combat power at the marrow refining level is not even on the same level as the enemy.

Before we get the 'Miracle Gift', if we take into account all aspects of the marrow refining combat power, we can come up with a total of seventy-one marrow refining combat power.

But their levels are very low. There are sixty-one people in the early stage of marrow refining, and most of them came from marrow refining masters in various markets.

However, there are only two or three marrow refining masters in each market who are truly famous for their fighting skills.

The remaining ten people are all in the middle stage of marrow refining.

Except for Deputy Chief Feng who was born in Baiyuan Market in the 'Northern Eight Markets', the other nine were all the big owners of the nine markets in the 'Eastern Five Markets' and the 'Southern Four Markets'.

“After receiving the ‘Miracle Gift’, many bone refiners have indeed opened the path to marrow refinement, but except for a very small number, most still need more time to settle.

It will take at least ten days for the number of people at the marrow refining level to increase on a large scale."

"Even so, we can only catch up with them in quantity at best, but there is still a huge gap in quality."

"We also captured a lot of tongues. According to what we have learned, the enemy's marrow-refining combat power recruited in 'Bei Ba Ji' is about the same as ours.

But whether it is the Xu family of Yuanjing or the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry, not only is the amount of refined marrow large, but the quality is also very high.

In addition to the 'giant bear' at the peak of marrow refining, there are five fighters at the late stage of marrow refining, nearly twenty fighters at the middle stage of marrow refining, and more than seventy fighters at the early stage of marrow refining!"

"If a full-scale battle at the marrow refining level breaks out, even if you can suppress the 'giant bear', we will still be at an absolute disadvantage to the other side."

Speaking of this, Jiang Hongyi's face showed pessimism.

"What if they are all equipped with a Xuanyou horse, taking into account the advantages of horse riding and throwing skills?" Geng Xuan asked.

Jiang Hongyi, who looked a little depressed, became much more excited after hearing this and said:

“The gap can indeed be made up to a great extent, but there are still some problems here.

First, our throwing accuracy needs to be improved.

Another thing is that this attack capability is too single.

The greatest power is exerted when the first attack comes as a surprise.

If we can achieve good enough results at that time, the situation will tilt greatly in our favor.

But if we fail to seize this opportunity, the effect of this method on the marrow refining level will be greatly reduced."

Geng Xuan nodded.

Although, the "Horse Control and Throwing Technique" can enable the early stage of marrow refining to exert attack capabilities comparable to the middle stage of marrow refining.

But practitioners at the marrow refining level are very sensitive to danger.

The response to action will also be extremely quick.

No matter how powerful the attack is, if it can't hit the person, it is meaningless.

Jiang Hongyi continued: "Moreover, the number of our Xuanyou Iron Cavalry is only half of that of the enemy.

In terms of cultivation strength and overall quality, they are inferior to each other.

If we draw out the marrow refining forces and more Xuanyou horses, our disadvantage against the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry will become even more obvious."

After listening to the two people's reports, Geng Xuan nodded slightly, handed the paper from Liu Yueji that Cheng Hui handed to him during the day to Jiang Hongyi, and said:
"Look at this."

Jiang Hongyi unfolded the paper and took a quick glance at it, then his expression suddenly changed.

The hands holding the paper roll couldn't help but tremble.

Seeing this, Hong Quan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but become curious and wondered what kind of news could make Jiang Hongyi lose his composure to such an extent.

Jiang Hongyi, who had finished reading, handed the paper to Hong Quan.

Soon, Hong Quan's expression became so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip out.

Geng Xuan said:
"According to my judgment, the 'giant bear' will definitely send out all its reinforcements tomorrow. The number of soldiers deployed by the other side will exceed 5,000!"

Hearing this, Jiang Hongyi and Hong Quan both felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.

If we mobilize all our forces, we can barely gather the number of 5,000.

But this did not make the two feel at ease. Instead, even their pulses began to tremble uncontrollably.

If that happens, the number of soldiers deployed on the battlefield by both sides tomorrow will exceed 10,000!

This is a level that they simply cannot control now.

The battle between two or three thousand people had already exhausted them and they were unable to cope with it.

They simply could not imagine how embarrassed and panicked they would be when the number of soldiers on both sides exceeded 10,000.

"...What do you think?" After expressing his own judgment, Geng Xuan asked for their opinions.

Jiang Hongyi and Hong Quan both nodded and said in a positive tone: "He will definitely do this!"

After several days of "serious study", they think they have a say in what kind of style the "teacher" "Giant Bear" has.

Thinking that this "Teacher Xiong" would send more than five thousand soldiers into the battlefield at once tomorrow, both of them were in great confusion.

Hong Quan suddenly had an idea and suggested, "Boss, let's have another night raid tonight!"

In his opinion, this was the most feasible strategy.

While the enemy reinforcements are still unstable and haven't completed their reorganization, strike them hard.

Even if you can't kill the opponent, you must make him bleed to death!

Geng Xuan shook his head and said, "Not appropriate."

He said to the two of them, "We have a lot to do tonight... Don't worry, I already have a plan."

After hearing this, although the two were still worried, they inexplicably felt more confident.

The gang leader "Su Ruiliang" seems to often do some unreliable, unreasonable and incomprehensible operations.

But as far as the results are concerned, not a single mistake was made!

It was when the war was fierce that he was distracted by such outrageous things as the "social forum".

The results also proved that this was actually the most critical factor that allowed them to survive until now.

Therefore, although they didn't know what strategy their leader had, seeing his attitude, the two of them calmed down and decided to just be auxiliary collaborators.

……

The first step of Geng Xuan's plan was to overturn the "granting ceremony" that was originally planned to be held after the war.

He first expended 1560 points of luck to treat seriously injured patients, allowing all of them to recover from their wounds.

Afterwards, rewards were given to 3965 people who participated in the battles on November and .

Among these 3965 people, there are also the masters of the other three "Southern Four Markets" except Fan Qi who have been incorporated into the "Linzhan Hall", as well as marrow refining masters who came from these three markets.

Although they did not personally participate in the battle, the masters and refining masters of the other three chapters of the "Eastern Five Chapters" except Qingyuan Chapter and Santong Chapter enjoyed the "political preferential treatment".

Based on the principle of fairness and the need to "make a nest", Geng Xuan did not leave them behind.

Although there are many people who "receive prizes", the amount of good luck consumed per person is not that much.

Because the number of third-class "first blood gainers" reached 732 people, the number of fourth- and fifth-class contributors was very small.

Because of the conscious rotation arrangements made by Jiang Hongyi, Hong Quan and others, the number of "active assisters" was only over a thousand, and those over two thousand were only evaluated as "assisters".

These 3965 people consumed a total of 18714 points of luck, averaging less than five points per person.

They all stop at just tasting a little sweetness.

From then on, except for the soldiers from Wubailifang who had just arrived, all the other soldiers experienced the charm of the "Miracle Gift" firsthand.

——Even without tonight's ceremony to reward merit, Geng Xuan believed that when the decisive battle came, their morale would not be bad.

However, since we are well aware that the enemy's strength has increased dramatically and that we have an inherent disadvantage in large-scale battles, this is the accumulated disadvantage caused by Yuanzhou's self-castration for nearly two hundred years, and it cannot be eliminated in a short time.

——This is not something that Jiang Hongyi, who has actual combat experience, can make up for. Moreover, even for Jiang Hongyi, who has achieved transformation in Minzhou, he is only a "consumable", a soldier who follows orders, not a general who plans strategies. He still has to learn many things from scratch.

In this situation, Geng Xuan would certainly not hide the method that could easily increase his own bargaining chips.

He didn't mind the large-scale deaths of his own soldiers in the battle, but this was completely different from not using a solution when there was one and deliberately putting them in a more dangerous situation.

Although Geng Xuan has been reaping lives wantonly, he does not allow himself to play with human lives, which are two completely different things.

By the end of the ceremony, the number of enemy soldiers killed on the spot or died from serious injuries had reached 825.

This almost means that all of the enemy's seriously injured soldiers today have died.

Geng Xuan suspected that the "giant bear" would also regard tomorrow as the last all-in.

They simply "went into battle lightly", not providing any medical treatment to the seriously injured, and watching them die on a large scale.

For Geng Xuan personally, this is undoubtedly a good thing.

These 23100 people alone provided him with 211 points of good luck and only points of bad luck.

This is because the vast majority of these casualties came from Wuyou Palace, and the bad luck that Wuyou Palace could bring him had already reached its peak.

In addition, 4066 of his own men were killed, which brought Geng Xuan 260 points of good luck and points of bad luck.

In just one day of bloody battle, Geng Xuan gained 27166 points of good luck.

After completely deducting the expenses for tonight's ceremony, there is still quite a bit left.

The red luck reserves in the "Suizhu" once again exceeded the 100,000 mark.

……

【Lucky: 101918
Black Luck: 8956】

……

After the ceremony, Geng Xuan took some time to organize the newly arrived Wubailifang soldiers into different groups.

Then he ordered the entire army to rest.

Until dawn.

Geng Xuan removed his hand from Huang Er's forehead and confirmed that the last group of ranger reinforcements had also entered the enemy camp.

Geng Xuan called Jiang Hongyi and Hong Quan out separately.

At this moment, the night is getting dark.

The thick fog flowing down from the remnant of Chiwu Mountain enveloped the entire Qingyuanji, completely blocking the light of the stars and the moon.

The sun had not yet risen, and there was still some time before dawn. It would also take another two or three hours for the thick fog that enveloped the entire Qingyuanji to be completely dispelled.

Standing on the street of Qingyuanji which was almost reduced to ruins.

The first sentence Geng Xuan said made their hearts beat wildly.

"Let's start the decisive battle today."

Hearing this, not only did their hearts beat wildly, but their eyelids also twitched constantly.

They really wanted to say, "Boss, we can't handle a decisive battle involving tens of thousands of people!"
We have only studied with "Teacher Xiong" for a few days, and we have directly reached this level of intensity. Do you think we are all military geniuses in the world?
Originally, they, like other practitioners, did not have much feeling towards the so-called Military Immortal.

But as they made progress in their studies over the past few days, they gradually developed a kind of enlightenment that made them feel like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

As for the past, in the art of war, they were not even "mayflies".

After hearing what Geng Xuan said, although both of them were instantly confused, they still patiently listened to what he had to say.

Geng Xuan’s words were indeed not finished.

"I know you're worried about your level."

The two nodded slightly.

I hope you understand, Boss.

"But I have to say that the other party's ability in this area is actually even worse than yours. Do you believe it?"

Geng Xuan's words made the two men's necks, which were still relaxed, stiffen immediately.

Boss, your praise is very helpful to us.

But, the facts are here. If you say that, we will just feel that you are slandering us!

"The ones who are really capable are the more than 200 Xuanyou Iron Cavalrymen who came from the two states of Xuanyou, led by the 'Giant Bear'.

Everyone else except them, like us, is from Yuanzhou.

This new batch of reinforcements are all former knights, and the Yuanzhou culture has been brought to its extreme in them.

They may be very powerful because they are personally brave, aggressive and ruthless.

But when it comes to forming battle formations, they are far inferior to the market guards, let alone military battle formations!
Oh, the heavy sword warriors of the Xu family in Yuanjing might also have something.

However, you have all witnessed the style of the Xu family in Yuanjing during the night attack.

That's the more elite Xuanyou Iron Cavalry!"

"...After all, you've been personally hands-on with the operation for several days, and our team's execution capabilities far surpass those of the other team."

After hearing this, Jiang Hongyi and Hong Quan gradually came to their senses.

The gang leader said that the opponent's ability in military tactics was even worse than theirs. It turned out that he did not take the real Xuanyou Iron Cavalry into account.

Thus……

After listening to the gang leader's analysis, they both felt that they were indeed not inferior to others.

But can these two really be viewed separately?
Before the two could ask their questions, Geng Xuan continued:

"Don't worry about the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry. I will take care of it myself."

“I’m just talking about your mission.

First, after daybreak, you must follow yesterday's tactics and launch an attack before the thick fog dissipates.

At this time, the situation is most favorable for small teams to fight."

"In terms of attack intensity, just maintain yesterday's level."

"According to their response yesterday, they will not deploy heavy troops until the fog clears. They will only maintain their defense line."

“After the thick fog has cleared, and after observing the battle situation on the front line with their own eyes, the enemy will mobilize heavy troops and rush into the battlefield.

Because only in this way can they maximize their own advantages. "

Jiang Hongyi and Hong Quan both nodded slightly.

They were also a little surprised. Although the gang leader never asked about or interfered in the front-line battle situation, they did not expect that his analysis of the situation was so accurate.

"Once the enemy has thrown all its forces into the battlefield, you won't have to hide any longer and can just give full play to your strength.

There is no need to suppress those soldiers who have made high contributions and are eager to fight. They can all be released.

Use as much strength as you can.”

The two of them suppressed their doubts and didn't ask any questions, but nodded seriously.

Geng Xuan hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Next, comes the second point I want to make.

In addition to striving to win, there is another thing you need to do.

If the enemy soldiers show any signs of fleeing, you must do your best to stop them."

Hearing this, they were both shocked, thinking that the gang leader's inherent bloodlust had flared up again.

Because the point that Geng Xuan specifically emphasized frightened them so much, they didn't pay much attention to how this amazing transition from "first" to "then" should be achieved.

Hong Quan asked directly: "Boss, if someone surrenders, will we accept it?"

He was very worried that the gang leader would say "no", and if that happened, he would not be able to guarantee that he could complete the important task entrusted to him by the gang leader.

Fortunately, to his relief, after hearing his question, the gang leader seemed to think briefly before nodding and saying:

"acceptable."

After saying that, he looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you clear about your mission?"

They both nodded, "Understood."

"Okay, let's go."

After saying that, Geng Xuan waved his hand and asked the two to leave.

After the two left, Geng Xuan turned around and looked at Qingyuanji, which had almost been reduced to ruins. Without staying any longer, he returned to the Giant Bear Gang's base.

In addition to Jiang Hongyi, ten people in the middle stage of marrow refining and sixty people in the early stage of marrow refining, all the marrow refining combat forces were gathered by Geng Xuan.

This includes people who hold important positions such as Feng Yu and Qi Mingcheng, as well as two new marrow cultivators in the neighborhood who just arrived last night and have not yet mastered the throwing technique. No exception.

The two hundred and thirty-seven Xuanyou horses are all in place.

——Some of them had more serious injuries and needed a longer period of recuperation to fully recover.

But after Geng Xuan learned horsemanship, he could connect with the life energy of Xuanyou Horse to bring good luck and heal injuries.

It only consumed ten points of luck in total to recover these sick horses.

On the back of each Xuanyou horse, in addition to a full set of armor, there are as many as twenty javelins.

These javelins are of uniform design, with sharp, angular tips and streamlined bodies.

This is a shape confirmed after repeated exploration. It not only allows the thrown spear to reach the fastest speed at the moment of release, but also slows down the dissipation of speed.

Moreover, when the javelin is thrown at high speed, its trajectory will be very stable, and within two hundred steps, it will be almost in a straight line.

Within five hundred steps, the trajectory of the javelin will not deviate significantly, and it still has extremely terrifying killing power, enough to penetrate ordinary Xuanyou armor.

A group of marrow refining masters and one hundred and sixty-six of the best Xuanyou riders were all confused, yet extremely solemn.

Although they didn't know what "Su Ruiliang" was planning to do by gathering them together.

But what is certain is that he must lead them to carry out an extremely critical and extremely dangerous operation.

No one dared to be careless in the slightest.

Everyone was holding their own Xuanyou horses, waiting quietly and orderly in a courtyard.

The night sky was shrouded in thick fog, and gradually traces of thick white fog began to emerge.

Its daybreak.

Soon after, shouts, sounds of weapons clashing, and screams were heard from the battle line not too far away.

Everyone listened to all this quietly, without making any movement.

During this time, a wild pigeon flew into the courtyard and landed in the hands of "Su Ruiliang".

"Su Ruiliang" handed the scene over to Feng Yu and others to maintain, and left for a short while.

——This was when Geng Xuan received a reminder from Cheng Hui that the "Giant Bear" led a group of enemy marrow-refining forces and appeared not far from a certain battle line. He unscrupulously checked the battle scene, collected first-hand information, and confirmed that everything was normal.

Geng Xuan left the courtyard with the sole purpose of showing up in front of the "giant bear" and forcing the other party to retreat.

As for why they did not bring other marrow refining forces with them, it was naturally because their own marrow refining forces were too weak. They did not dare to be as arrogant as the other party and could only hide far behind him.

This is something both parties have long known.

The city is now covered in thick fog and visibility is limited, so it is normal that the other party cannot see.

After the two sides confronted each other tacitly for a moment, the "Giant Bear" who had obtained enough information retreated contentedly, and Geng Xuan also left as soon as possible.

When he returned to the courtyard and reunited with the other Xuanyou cavalry, Geng Xuan couldn't help but have some joking thoughts in his heart.

Perhaps, for the giant bear who has more than 5,000 soldiers under his command today, his "everything is normal" performance just now was also a deliberate performance.

The purpose is to dispel one's own vigilance and create the illusion that everything is no different from yesterday.

Nearly another hour passed, and the fog not only did not dissipate, but became thicker and thicker.

The sounds of fighting coming through the thick fog not only did not subside, but became more and more intense.

It seems that both sides are recovering rapidly as the warm-up matches continue.

Geng Xuan, who had been estimating the time in his mind, suddenly said, "Let's go."
