Cthulhu

Chapter 456
Looking at it, Cheng Cheng's face changed drastically: "Not good!"

"What's the matter?" Seeing his expression, An Lianqi knew something serious happened, and asked.

"The southern front is in danger." After reviewing the situation on the southern front, Cheng Cheng decisively came to this conclusion.

"How to say?" This time it was Shangguan Feifei's turn to get nervous.

"Come and see!" He picked up the baton on the stage, and after everyone came to the sand table, Cheng Cheng pointed out the cities captured by the Fangfang front one by one, and explained in his mouth: "Tiantai City, Xiyan City , the cities in the ten directions are very concentrated, and surrounded by cities, as if forming a pocket, and now the southern army has completely penetrated into this pocket. The battle line will definitely collapse completely."

Holding the baton and pointing at the positions of the cities in the ten directions one by one, Cheng Cheng explained that, obviously, the siege on the southern front was probably a formation deliberately set up by the Tunyun Sect, and the elders of the Martial God Hall lost nearly 30 people. It is really a fool to enter the enemy's pocket.

Fighting and attacking a city is similar to playing Go, and Cheng Cheng, who is proficient in Go and is even more arrogant than his father, has seen through the enemy's plot all at once.

"My God, the Cloud Swallowing Sect has set up a huge formation. According to this, once the southern front is sealed off, the entire army may be wiped out?" Liu Sishi understood the situation of the battle that Cheng Cheng was talking about, and it was very ugly. Exclaimed, she also knows how to play Go, and is also a master. Seeing this huge battlefield layout, she couldn't help being frightened. She is sure that the person who designed and deployed this battle situation in the Tunyun Sect must be a monstrous strategic genius , should be able to compete with Cheng Sheng.

"It's not that the entire army may be wiped out, but it's affirmation that the Swallowing Sect has put so much thought into letting the troops on the southern front get into this pocket. It must be to kill them all." There is no 'possibility' at all. The existence of this word, Cheng Sheng is sure that this is a huge conspiracy.

"Then what should we do now?" The blood on Shangguan Feifei's face faded, the elders of the Martial God Hall led the army without reason, and many soldiers lost their lives for no reason.But now there are still 40 troops, and those are all soldiers from the Fighting Martial Empire, how can she not panic?
"Hmph, that's what they deserve, good or bad, isn't it a waste of life to fight with such idiots? It's better to go home and farm." Nalan Baihe doesn't have the big picture like Shangguan Feifei. In such a situation, in her opinion, it is her own fault, not worthy of sympathy, let alone rescue.

"You can't say that. The elders of the Martial God Temple lead the army without morality, but the soldiers under him are innocent and have no right to choose. They are all citizens of the Douwu Empire. We must not just watch them die. And abandon them and ignore them." Shangguan Feifei's face turned cold, she was a bit majestic, even if Cheng Cheng didn't send troops to rescue, she couldn't stand by and watch.

"Princess Feifei is right. Since we have uncovered the conspiracy of the Swallowing Sect, we can't just sit idly by." Seeing that everyone was about to start arguing again, Cheng Cheng spoke first and suppressed what everyone was about to say.As soon as he let go, everyone stopped interrupting, and it was enough to see that everyone recognized such a leader.

Seeing that everyone stopped and cast their gazes here, Cheng Cheng said: "Once the southern front collapses, it will not only be the annihilation of the southern defense line, but will affect the entire battle situation. Look, once the southern front Let the Cloud Swallowing Cult annihilate the occupation, what use is the united front we have worked so hard to build?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Cheng Cheng continued: "No matter what, we must go to solve this upcoming problem this time. The southern front is still the soldiers of the Douwu Empire, and we cannot abandon them just because of the arrogance of the elders of the Wushen Temple." Regardless, here, they are all our compatriots. Furthermore, the collapse of the southern front will directly affect the situation of the east and west, and it may not even be possible that the Church of Swallowing Clouds has a bigger conspiracy, so we must take precautions before they happen, and prevent This conspiracy of the Swallowing Cloud Sect."

Nalan Baihe suddenly felt a little ashamed. After Cheng Cheng said this, she realized that what she just said was a bit too much, and she was no longer human.He couldn't help but give Shangguan Feifei an apologetic look, which was his own apology.

"Then how should we expose the conspiracy of the Swallowing Sect?" An Lianqi looked at the sand table and asked a question that everyone cared about.

"Cut! First of all, we don't know how far the Cloud Swallowing Sect's conspiracy has been carried out. We can only expand the range to intercept, cut off the outer city, and prevent them from expanding outward. After that, we will carry out the attack on the southern army trapped in the pocket city. Rescue is urgent, and the order must be assigned immediately." Now it is not clear about the movement of the Tunyun Sect, so Cheng Cheng can only retreat to defend, let out all the cities captured by the army led by the Wushen Temple, and retreat to the edge of the city first to swallow Tunyun. The army of Yunjiao stopped them, and they must not be allowed to spread directly to the Douwu Empire, otherwise the situation will become more and more severe, and only then can they be helped.

"Okay, let's do it this way." Shangguan Feifei is like a boat in the sea at the moment, and she regards Cheng Cheng as the backbone. Facing such a situation, even she can't keep calm.

Now Cheng Cheng is indeed looking ahead, and as soon as he said this, he was unanimously approved by everyone, and then continued to distribute: "Your Highness, the two princesses, you two will lead 30 elite soldiers to guard the three cities behind Qitian City , must not lose these three cities."

"Okay, I see." Looking at the sand table and the three cities behind Qitian City, Shangguan Feifei nodded firmly and agreed.

"Nalan Baihe, Xu Ai, you and I will lead 20 troops, take down Qitian City, and then rescue the southern defense army inside Tiantai City." Assigning their respective tasks here, Cheng Cheng didn't call them aunts either. Or Ai Ai Tutor, but directly by name.Because there is no family affection here, only military law.

"Yes!"

"The rest of the people stay in Tonghua City, and the city on the eastern defense line must not be lost, you know?" Then, turning his gaze to the faces of everyone, Cheng Cheng said loudly.

"Don't worry, commander, unless you step over our corpses, you will never lose the city of assimilation."

"Yes, I will defend the city of assimilation to the death."

After the task was assigned, Cheng Sheng dismissed everyone to go back to prepare and act immediately without delay.The current situation is too critical. If it is too late, the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops in the southern defense line may be completely wiped out and killed. It will be an extremely tragic massacre.

It took less than half a month for Tiantai City to win the Shifang City, which made the elders of the Martial God Hall proud. They didn't know that the current army had fallen into the trap set by the enemy for him. Straight for Phoenix.

Inside the city lord's mansion, singing and dancing are on the rise. It's very lively. While enjoying the singing and dancing in the arena, the leaders of various forces are also pushing cups and changing cups. .

It didn't take long, and there was a mess of cups and plates on each of the low tables. It seemed that everyone had enough to drink.

And the army barracks was full of alcohol, everyone was holding wine bowls and jars to drink happily, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.The commander-in-chief rewards the army, how can he not be full?
Apart from the excitement in the barracks and the city lord's mansion, the entire Tiantai City fell into a deadly silence, much like the calm before the storm, which made people feel depressed and panicked.

It's not that everyone is in the mood to drink happily. Hundreds of thousands of brothers who died in the army, bloody people, how can they be in the mood to drink wine?Above the tower, a general frowned deeply, and didn't join the drinking camp, because he couldn't drink enough, and soon saw his soldiers fall down one by one under the tower, blood flowing like a river, now drinking and drinking Drinking the blood of these brothers was no different, so he couldn't drink it, and he was not in the mood to drink, so he came to the tower alone to guard the safety of the city defense.

Suddenly, there seemed to be something faintly moving in the jungle in front of him, which made him frown, and shouted loudly: "Come on!"

"General, what are your orders?"

, "Let the spies go out of the city to investigate and see what is moving outside the city?"

"Yes!"

A moment later, the city gate opened wide, and a spy galloped out of the city gate on a fast horse and galloped forward.However, the spy did not come back after going out, as if a mud cow had entered the sea and there was no news.

It was weird, especially weird, the general counted the time, the spies should have come back anyway, but the spies who left the city didn't move at all, which made him instantly vigilant.He roared at the defenders on the tower: "Everyone, be vigilant, there is a change!"

The defenders, who were dozing off, suddenly raised their heads and chests out, and they all came back to their senses amidst the shouting, and concentrated their attention.

"Kill!" There was a loud roar outside the city, followed closely by it.

Obviously, the ambush outside the city was found, so an attack had to be launched immediately.

"Watch out, watch out, all of you take up the weapons in your hands." The general was sure now that there was an army coming to attack the city outside the city, and he couldn't help yelling nervously.Then he yelled again: "Come on!"
