Not long after Zai Shi arrived, Li Yan, who was sitting in the hall drinking tea alone, gently put down the teacup in his hand at a certain moment.
When he raised his head, the cave abode gate had slowly risen, and then a slender body with a helmet and armor was revealed.
"Is there anything going on today?"
Li Yan asked Mu Guyue who was walking towards him.
"The matter is almost similar to what Demon Emperor Tengzhang said. The other party did not act rashly until they found out our intentions.
Divine Sense, the strong man on our side, has also been secretly strengthening his detection in the past few days, which makes the enemy doubt whether our clan has encountered similar things! "
While Mu Guyue was talking, he had already walked up to Li Yan. Li Yan was worried about what kind of movements the Red-Eyed Flame-horned Beast Clan would have after he took action the day before yesterday.
However, as long as their army really has no battle plan, then the Red-Eyed Flame Horned Beast Clan will just be vigilant. It is impossible to prepare for a big battle or decisive battle as soon as there is any trouble.
"Well! Until we can figure out the reason, that's probably it. I also have a plan here. Is it feasible for you to come and hear it?
But I only know the general situation at your frontier, so when I talk about it, I will ask you some questions! "
"You have plans so soon?"
"It's just a big framework. There are relatively good conditions here. The two of you are in the confrontation stage. Both sides are already well aware of the dangerous and important places here.
Therefore, the deployment of troops in the places that should be defended has been relatively accurately fixed after successive battles. This is an excellent opportunity! "
Li Yan's eyes flashed a few times. He had told Mu Guyue yesterday that he really wanted to help her when he stayed, to relieve the tug-of-war on this battlefield and push the Black Devil Race army forward.
Once it succeeds, Mu Guyue will be a great achievement, which will add an important step to Mu Guyue's status in the clan.
And if Mu Guyue's army successfully attacks this time, she said that they can retreat to the rear to rest and hand over the captured territory to other armies.
After all, they have been fighting this battle for a long time, but they have never captured the planned target. Even though the army suffered heavy casualties as a result, they are constantly replenishing their troops, which makes Mu Guyue shameless to propose that the army rest and reorganize.
If the army can rest in the later stage, Mu Guyue and Mu Sha will have a period of peace of mind to practice. Li Yan will help Mu Guyue break through to the Void Refinement Realm during that period of time, and at the same time help Mu Sha succeed Spirit Transformation.
Especially here, once Mu Guyue breaks through in cultivation, her status in the clan will take a fundamental leap forward.
Before Void Refinement Realm, no matter how good you were, mid-level monks and low-level monks were completely different concepts.
Mu Guyue's current status has reached the pinnacle of her level, but she does not need to be on the front line all the time.
Only if she takes the lead to break through to the intermediate monk level, can her and Mu Sha's safety be truly further strengthened.
Li Yan's plan is not just to help Mu Guyue win the battle, but to help Mu Guyue rise in Black Devil Race. Since these two people are unwilling to leave Black Devil Race, then simply let them become strong here.
But Mu Sha still has a long way to go, so he can only support Mu Guyue first...
After Li Yan said these words to Mu Guyue yesterday, Mu Guyue had no objection to it. If others came to help her in this way, she would reject it without even thinking about it.
There is no such thing as pie-in-the-sky good things in the world. People who can help others like this must have other purposes.
As a female cultivator, she only has the cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, so the other party's intention to help is obvious!
And her body and heart will only be given to one man in this life, and she will definitely never accept unwarranted benefits again.
But when these things were brought up by Li Yan, Mu Guyue felt that everything was natural, and at the same time, his love for Li Yan became even more profound.
This is the emotion of Devil Race monks: hate until death, love until death.
Just like the Devil Race couple that Li Yan met on his first trip, even if they were poisoned by Li Yan, the moment they finally woke up, they were in agony...
Mu Guyue sat down next to Li Yan. She did not expect Li Yan to have a plan so quickly. In fact, it was not too surprising to formulate a big framework for the plan.
For example, when Mu Guyue and their army charged all the way, under relatively smooth conditions, what they encountered in the later stage were basically unfamiliar environments.
But as long as there are scouts to get a rough idea of the nearby situation, Mu Guyue and her generals can formulate the next plan framework in a very short period of time.
This is the most basic condition for being a general in the army, but after Li Yan said these things, it is not the first time that Mu Guyue has met Li Yan.
She knew Li Yan's character very well. Li Yan was so meticulous that he looked down upon him every step of the way. Li Yan was simply a dead plant, the kind of person who would die without paying for his life.
Therefore, once Li Yan comes up with a detailed plan, he will basically target the enemy, and he will most likely kill him, and he will suffer a loss at the hands of the opponent because of this.
Therefore, Li Yan himself said that it was just a rough framework of the plan. In fact, Mu Guyue guessed that at least 60% of the completeness of the plan had been completed.
This kind of plan can be used directly in many military offensives.
"Then let's talk and listen first!"
Mu Guyue's eyes suddenly showed an interested look.
"This is actually nothing. First of all, before I found your mother and son, I was searching around in hiding.
The routes I explored were basically the battlefields at the front lines of the two armies, so I was aware of the defensive situation of many local armies, including of course the places where your army and the enemy were stationed;
Secondly, through your discussion in the military tent yesterday, I got more clear information..."
Li Yan did not delay and began to express some of his views on the battlefield between the two armies.
As he said, in the process of searching for Mu Guyue, he was exploring the frontier battlefield in detail. In addition, when Mu Guyue discussed the military situation, they must have talked about important places.
Under this situation, a relatively complete confrontation situation has basically appeared in Li Yan's mind. After thinking about it based on these points, he made relevant arrangements.
He and Mu Guyue once again fought side by side, but the situation now was completely different from when he was with Ghost-Severing City.
At that time, how many people did he and Mu Guyue have in total?
But now Black Devil Race has no shortage of people at all. Mu Guyue has an army of thousands of people under his command. It needs people and resources.
In this way, Li Yan will consider deploying it, and it will be much easier if there are enough manpower to mobilize.
"...Due to your extremely fast movements in the early stage, you pushed tens of thousands of miles into the hinterland of the Red-eyed Flame-horned Beast Clan. However, when the Red-eyed Flame-horned Beast Clan reacted, they even started a strong counterattack.
But Black Devil Race was even more prepared. The Red-eyed Flame-horned Beast Clan's counterattack failed in the end to recapture the lost territory, so the Red-eyed Flame-horned Beast Clan had to defend from multiple directions.
Now looking at the overall situation, although it is said that the armies of both sides are fighting in a stalemate, in fact, because you have the effect of surprise attack in the early stage, you are fighting deep in the opponent's hinterland.
Under such circumstances, Black Devil Race had no scruples, and at the same time focused on attacking from all directions, in order not to continue losing territory to the Red-Eyed Flame Horned Beast Clan.
They built a series of circular defense lines in all directions, almost focusing on defense and counterattack.
With your army taking the initiative, you can gather your forces to launch an attack at any point, which is very flexible.
If the Red-Eyed Flaming Horned Beast Clan were to defend completely, they would not be able to deploy so many troops. This was impossible even if Black Devil Race was used to defend.
The battle between the armies of immortal cultivators is not at all hundreds or thousands of miles away. It is no problem to open a front line tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of miles away. Therefore, no race can completely deploy its troops for defense.
So no matter which direction the Red-eyed Flame-horned Beast Clan defends, they can only adopt focused defense, that is, they build fortresses tens of thousands of miles apart and then station troops there.
These fortresses can individually defend an area of tens of thousands of miles, or they can form a chain of flanking responses to form a long line of defense to contain the attack of the Black Devil Race army.
Now that you have gathered the army together, you are just waiting for the opportunity. If you want to make any loophole in the enemy's fortress, you can flexibly use your strength to capture it.
Black Devil Race Although no similar fortress has been formed, your first, second, and third lines of defense are staggered and not placed sequentially.
In addition, your armies in each direction are arranged in a staggered manner with the armies in other directions.
If you have to hold on, even if the other party wants to take advantage of your army to gather and encircle them in reverse, they won't be able to do it.
This is the advantage of having the upper hand, and also the advantage of fighting in the enemy's hinterland. You don't have to worry about being careless, but you will be attacked directly by the opponent.
Currently, the Red-Eyed Flame-Horned Beast Tribe's army is defending your direction. A total of six large and small fortresses have been established..."
When Li Yan said this, his tone paused. Seeing Mu Guyue nodded to him, he continued.
"Then if your army wants to advance, it must destroy at least half of the opponent's fortress. This will make it difficult for the opponent to look at the head and tail, or there will be insufficient surrounding troops.
Instead of the Black Devil Race army only occupying one or two fortresses, it became a lone advance and was surrounded by the opponent.
I should have seen four of these six large and small fortresses when I was looking for you. They are indeed sharp thorns that you must deal with.
Otherwise, once your army advances again, Black Devil Race will pay a heavy price for these fortresses. Now you will tell us about your previous attacks. "
Li Yan first gave a summary of his views, but did not immediately reveal his plan. He wanted to listen carefully to some of the information he wanted to get, so as to see if he could improve the plan again.
However, Li Yan did not ask Mu Guyue to tell them their current battle plan, but only asked her to tell what happened, so that Mu Guyue would not be embarrassed.
Black Devil Race has been in confrontation with the Red-Eyed Flame-horned Beast Clan for so long. There must have been a new battle plan in this direction, and such a plan should have been formulated by Mu Guyue and the others.
However, such a plan must be approved and modified by the above. The Black Devil Race high-level officials must consider attacks in several other directions, so the plan of the Mu Guyue army needs to be adjusted.
In the end, all links must be unified before they can be implemented or become a backup plan. Such a plan is simply one action that affects the whole body.
Therefore, even if Mu Guyue needs help from outsiders, it is impossible to tell outsiders the plan. Even if she trusts Li Yan very much, Li Yan does not want Mu Guyue to bear such a big responsibility.
Li Yan will only propose his own plan in the end, and then let Black Devil Race deduce it. Is it feasible?
"The seizing positions you mentioned are indeed those six locations. We have had five major attacks..."
Mu Guyue did not hesitate at all, and immediately told Li Yan about the five battles. They dispatched all their troops during those times, and even some monks from the second line of defense also participated.
However, in the end, the Demon Emperor including Black Devil Race died, and the results of several battles failed to capture the six fortresses.
If we attack again, we may have to use the power of the third line of defense. It will most likely be a comprehensive attack in all directions, and it should be a decisive battle.
But the cost of that is too high. Generally speaking, the third line of defense serves as a guard, or a deterrent.
If Great Devil King dies in the clan, then Black Devil Race will 90% withdraw their troops immediately if they cannot defeat the Red-Eyed Flame Horned Beast clan...
Li Yan listened carefully to Mu Guyue's narration. Black Devil Race was indeed a war race. The opponent's tactics were very rich, and all kinds of military tactics such as storming, surprise attacks, and seduction were used.
In Li Yan's view, these tactics have been applied to the point of proficiency, but the red-eyed flame-horned beast tribe is not a good opponent, and the opponent is also a war race.
People are also very familiar with the deceitful ways of war. The methods Black Devil Race used on other sects and Aristocratic Clan in the past have also failed one by one.
So at the end of the five battles, they all turned into violent attacks, and that was how Demon Emperor-level casualties appeared!
The most effective one here was the fourth attack, which was jointly carried out by several Demon Emperors who were good at sneaking. They used the surprise attack method.
That is to put a group of monks into spirit storage bags, and then let them sneak into six fortresses quietly, and then launch a sudden attack.
That was also the one that was almost the closest to success. Unfortunately, in the end, due to the failure of follow-up troops to keep up, the enemy's fortresses teleported to each other, broke into the empty areas between the fortresses, and sent out large armies to stop Black Devil Race's reinforcements.
The main reason here is that the number of people who attacked in the past was pitifully small compared to the garrison. When they reacted, strong men also came to support them.
First of all, there are only a limited number of monks that can enter the spiritual storage Dharma Treasure. The normal spiritual storage Dharma Treasure is different from the "Tuban" of Li Yan. It is a Dharma Treasure that is refined with the help of space materials and is directly guided into a small crack in an alien space.
The "Tuban" owned by Li Yan was separately refined by Primordial Chaos Soil. It is a world in itself. More importantly, it has the special refining method of the Five Immortals Sect, which itself forms a small world of five elements.
This is completely different from the normal spirit storage Dharma Treasure in nature. One is that the rules of heaven and earth actually exist, and the other is just guiding a certain space crack through space materials.
Even if a demon emperor brings many spirit storage Dharma Treasure, a second fatal problem will arise.
He had to frighten out the monks in different Spirit Storage Space one by one. Under a thousand troops, it would take a long time, so that the enemy would already have time to react.
And this is still not the main problem. The biggest problem is not that the cultivators can do whatever they want. There are rules in heaven and earth, otherwise monks can break through the sky!
Similar to the Moji Dao Sect, a battle with the enemy's army, if you can carry a large number of monks over, it should be over long ago.
Strategic aggression, on the one hand, is to consider destroying all the enemy's forces as much as possible and not giving the opponent the possibility of resurgence;
On the other hand, if a monk wants to frighten out the creatures in Spirit Storage Space, he needs to consume Divine Sense, and since it is to be pulled from a distant space crack, more Divine Sense will be needed.
There are tens of millions of creatures, and if Spirit Storage Space is only Golden Core Realm Foundation Establishment, then even one Demon Commander will have no problem.
But if there are thousands of Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation Realm monks, the space channel passing through is so powerful that not to mention a Demon Emperor, even a Great Devil King cannot withstand such consumption. It is estimated that the sea of consciousness will dry up before long.
