Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

Moreover, now that Su Li has achieved such miraculous success, what reason do they have not to borrow troops?

And so.

Su Li has already taken away half of the troops in the three cities of Pingyang.

If Su Li hadn't been worried that withdrawing too many troops would affect the defense of the three cities of Pingyang and lead to a disastrous attack from behind...

Su Li even wanted to draw two-thirds of their troops over!

Now, in addition to the 10,000 Wan Jian Army soldiers, Su Li also has an army of 500,000!

The other party only had 800,000 left!

Although there is still a slight difference in troop strength, it is not significant anymore.

Su Li is now capable of going toe-to-toe with the other party!

Su Li is now thinking about more than just defending this place.

Su Li's goal was to completely overwhelm the opponent!

Currently, the ten armies of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom attacking Qianling Continent are all progressing at different paces.

To put it roughly, of the ten armies that attacked the Demon Kingdom, four were at a disadvantage and five were at an advantage.

Only Su Li's group was in a state of equilibrium.

Furthermore, Su Li's front is absolutely crucial.

Now, the army from Baidao has penetrated deep into the sacred land of Qianling, and its advance can be described as unstoppable.

If Baidao continues like this, it won't be long before they attack Qianling Holy Land.

You should know that there aren't many people guarding the Qianling Holy Land right now...

The vast majority of the hall masters, peak masters, and disciples of the Qianling Holy Land were assigned to various cities in Qianling Continent to guard.

However, if our army can defeat and annihilate the rioters and recover the lost territory, then our army can flank or even outflank and attack the White Island army directly!

At that time, White Island's army will be unable to defend itself from both ends and will inevitably suffer extremely severe blows!

Of course, Su Li didn't consider himself a strategic genius, so he left a meeting and shared his thoughts with the think tank.

When the strategists in the think tank heard Su Li's strategy, which wasn't really a strategy, they all looked at Su Li with strange eyes...

This is not because Su Li's ideas are too naive.

And what Su Li said, weren't those things obvious?

Why did Da Guozhu want to take the initiative at that time?

Is Da Guozhu really stupid?

Is it really that Guo Dazhu doesn't know how to play it safe?

Is it really that Da Guozhu is truly worried about that army?

That's definitely not true!

When Da Guozhu took the initiative to attack, his biggest thought was to severely damage Xuanxiao's army, so as to launch a counterattack, recover lost territory, and finally encircle and annihilate Baidao's army!

Because the White Island Army is too fierce, we must find a way to stop White Island!

That's why Da Guozhu wanted to take the initiative.

If we can annihilate Xuanxiao's army and recover lost territory, then it is certain that we can take the opportunity to strike Baidao's army.

The question is, how can we annihilate the entire raging army?

That's the key point...

Everyone has been thinking about this problem, and not just for a day or two.

But none of them yielded any results.

And then, ten more days passed in such quiet and peaceful conditions!

News came from the scouts ahead.

The clamoring army has made a move!

When Su Li heard the news, she was stunned for a moment.

no......

This is absolutely outrageous...

The Xuanxiao Army actually plans to dig a tunnel! And then dig it all the way to Ceres City, so they can launch a surprise attack?

This method isn't unworkable; in ancient times on Blue Ocean Star, this tactic actually existed...

Unexpectedly, it appeared in this very place!

Not only that.

I heard that while the Xuanxiao Army is digging tunnels, they also plan to hold a ceremony...

This ceremony is said to be an extremely ancient one.

It seems that the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons sent Xuanxiao something, which could awaken the soul of the ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi.

If the soul of the ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi is awakened, then things will really be difficult to handle.

The fighting force might be redirected in another direction...

The strategists of Ceres City did some calculations.

The goal is to dig tunnels to create a surprise attack, and these tunnels must be safe enough to avoid being disturbed, and they must also be able to reach behind Ceres City. The length of the tunnels must also be sufficient to prevent them from collapsing.

Therefore, the optimal distance for the other side to dig a tunnel is within the range of twelve to fourteen li!

Moreover, according to the speed at which people pass through the tunnel.

To execute a perfect sneak attack, seven tunnels are also required.

This way, more troops can emerge from the tunnels at once and launch a surprise attack on Ceres Castle.

Moreover, even if one tunnel is blocked, the plan won't necessarily fail.

This is called not putting all your eggs in one basket.

As for why there are seven tunnels...

Su Li didn't know how her think tank had calculated it.

Based on the enemy's troop strength and the mole army's familiarity with the terrain, they felt that seven tunnels were the safest option...

Not only that, your mole army and pangolin army must need demons to cover their tunnel digging, right?

In that case, to be on the safe side, each tunnel entrance needs to be guarded by a thousand demon soldiers, so a total of seven thousand demon soldiers are needed to guard it!

Then came that blood sacrifice ritual...

Su Li and his group were completely baffled by the other party's blood sacrifice.

Because Su Li had gathered too little information, he had no idea what the scale of this ceremony was.

"Actually, I've heard some things about summoning the ancient mythical beast Qiongqi."

Just when Su Li and the others were at a loss, one of the think tank members raised his hand and stood up.

This monk's name is Hu Zheng.

When Hu Zheng stood up to speak, Su Li became completely energized.

Because this person was the traitor that Su Li had deliberately left behind when he was purging traitors.

Su Li was just waiting for him to prove himself useful, and to her surprise, he actually did.

"Tell me more."

Su Li nodded and made a "please" gesture.

That's right.

After bowing to everyone, the monk named Hu Zheng began his sermon.

"At that time, I was in a secret realm and had a fortuitous encounter. I fell into a cave and learned a lot of summoning techniques."

One of the stone tablets records the methods of ancient ferocious beasts.

To awaken the ferocious beast, a medium is needed, and at least 100,000 soldiers with sufficient vitality must be sacrificed in order to summon the soul of the ferocious beast Qiongqi.

Furthermore, based on the number of sacrifices, the more people who offer sacrifices, the stronger the Qiongqi that is summoned will be, and the longer it will exist.

Therefore, based on my speculation, the best number of blood sacrifices the enemy would need to make to break through our Valley God City is 200,000 cultivators.

In this way, the summoned Qiongqi is most likely to break through the Valley God City!

Moreover, the summoning process requires 100,000 people to perform the ritual together!

Furthermore, they cannot be disturbed by others; otherwise, the blood sacrifice will not only fail and the Qiongqi cannot be summoned, but the soldiers who were sacrificed will also have sacrificed themselves in vain.

After Hu Zheng finished speaking, everyone present gasped, and even Su Li felt the surrounding temperature rise significantly...

If what Hu Zheng said is true.

First of all, the enemy's mole army, pangolin army, and all sorts of rat spirits that can dig tunnels have all gone to dig tunnels, and there are people protecting them. No matter what, that's still a loss of 30,000 troops, right?

Furthermore, the blood sacrifice of 200,000 people has reduced the number by another 200,000!

Another 100,000 cultivators will be needed to help with the ritual, which adds up to another 100,000 cultivators.

The enemy's original army of 800,000 was reduced to just over 400,000 demon soldiers.

But things are completely different on my side!

Our army already numbers 500,000! Not only that, but there's also the Ten Thousand Swords Army led by General Su!

This is absolutely the perfect time to break through their defenses!

If this succeeds, it will absolutely inflict the most devastating blow on the Xuanxiao army!

Let alone inflicting heavy damage, at the very least, it could wipe out the entire Xuanxiao army in one fell swoop!

This is absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The problem is...

Is this a genuine act by the other side, or a trap they've set?

The last time was also a golden opportunity, but in the end, our side fell into an enemy ambush, resulting in heavy losses, and Da Guozhu was killed...

Now, Gushin City has finally stabilized, and this stabilization took a lot of effort!

Moreover, Ceres Castle cannot afford to experience failure again.

If it suffers another heavy blow this time, then Ceres City will truly be finished!

As a result, the entire military tent fell silent.

Everyone is conflicted.

This is an opportunity; if you seize this opportunity, you will seize the future!

On the other hand, if the enemy has laid an ambush, then our side is doomed.

No one makes decisions lightly.

Everyone clearly realized that this would be a battle that would change the entire situation in Qianlingzhou!

"General! I believe we should take the initiative and attack. We can't just sit here and wait to be killed!"

Just then, a military strategist stood up, bowed to Su Li, and looked very determined!

"Goodness, you two are really working together in perfect harmony."

Su Li thought to herself.

This person was named Feng Feng, who was another traitor.

"What do you mean?" Su Li nodded, letting him continue speaking, and watched the other person's performance.

Feng Feng spoke with utmost seriousness:

"The enemy is waging a tunnel war; we cannot afford to be complacent."

Although we can probe the location of the enemy's tunnels, who knows which direction they've dug them in?
