Chapter 935 Xiangyang Offensive and Defensive Battle ([-])
Chapter 950 Five Xiangyang Offensive and Defensive Battle ([-])
"kill!"

After the general offensive started, the surroundings of the central square suddenly fell into the sound of shouting and killing. While shouting excitedly, the allied players desperately rushed into the Jiugong Bagua array set up by Wangqing Pavilion players on the square. , the whole scene looks messy and orderly!

What's messy is that the coalition players on the attacking side basically don't talk about tactics and routines at this time. They have an absolute advantage in numbers and just rush in from all directions of the square. Hai Tactics launched an overwhelming attack on Wangqing Pavilion!

What is orderly is that, in addition to a large number of coalition players who rushed in from around the square, there are also formed coalition teams on the three main streets in the east, south, and west. Collectively, and compared with the surrounding stragglers, the strength of these players is quite good, and their combat effectiveness is obviously stronger than the surrounding attacking troops!

Apparently, the coalition forces have disagreements internally, but before the war, a corresponding attack plan was formulated. The teams on the streets in the three directions should be the elites of each faction, responsible for the main attack direction, while the teams in the other directions are from each faction. Regular regiments, these regular regiments were originally formed temporarily, with little organization and collective combat effectiveness, so they are responsible for comprehensively restraining the Wangqingge players in the central square from all other directions, and try to involve their fighting energy!
In the face of the swarming coalition forces, the Wangqing Pavilion City Defense Brigade in the central square remained quite calm and composed. This was not because they were confident in the victory of this battle, but because most of the city defense players present were once The core members of the formation brigade who have spent more than half a year in the copy of Wokou Island, at this time, in the eyes of them with rich experience in group battles, this scene is actually not as terrible as ordinary people imagine, even compared to the half a year in Wokou Island. Strange experience, the size of the enemy army in front of us is not as large as the monster army formation on the Japanese pirate island, so everyone still seems to be able to deal with it with ease.

Of course, this was also because the coalition forces had been terrified by Fang Jie's lion's roar tactics before, and did not dare to send too many troops into the city to participate in the battle. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Jiugong Bagua formation to last long.

At the beginning of the battle, all parties in the coalition forces adopted a relatively conservative strategy. They only dispatched two teams of 10 people into the city at a time, one of which was a regular regiment, and they were scattered everywhere as soon as they entered the city. , surrounded and surrounded in the direction of the central square, and the other was an elite group, which only arranged a long snake formation on the street and launched a key attack on the connection between the street and the square. risk of injury or death.

Therefore, on the part of the coalition forces, the total number of coalition combatants who are actually in contact with the Jiugong Bagua Formation at all times is barely 5, and most of these 5 people are still useless. The front is so long that the coalition forces can only fight the enemy on a front that is 500 meters long and 300 meters wide. It's two different things.

It is precisely because of this that the number of personnel actually participating in the attack by the coalition forces is far from reaching the defensive limit of the giant Jiugong Bagua formation. As long as the defense is not broken, the Jiugong Bagua formation can continue to operate. The losses are almost negligible.

From this point of view, the leaders of the coalition forces obviously don't have enough understanding of the power of the Jiugong Bagua Formation, thinking that just fighting a war of attrition can gradually consume the enemy's vital forces. However, the reality is that if the coalition forces continue to adopt this conservative offensive strategy However, if the number of combatants is limited, it will definitely not be Wangqing Pavilion's formation brigade that will be consumed in the end, but themselves.

In the two siege battles before this battle, 80 of the 20 Unfeeling Valley disciples were sent away as cannon fodder and died under the outer city wall, and nearly 10 died under the roar of the dead lion. 10,000+ people died under the two lines of defense in the west of the city, and another 1 people were wiped out by the Wangqing Pavilion elite team before the sect war started, so there are less than 40 people left in the Valley of Unrequited Love.

The situation of Mingjiao is not much better, because they are the most hardworking, and they lost nearly 15 people in normal hand-to-hand combat. Tens of thousands of people were buried with them, so until now, only a little over 70 of the 30 Mingjiao disciples are left, and the number of teams has also been reduced by more than half. 50 people came here, so Zhuge Wuming is still very confident at the moment.

As for Shaolin Temple, there were originally only 31 people, of which 30 Lion Roar Brigade had already been disbanded on the spot, and the remaining 20 people suffered little casualties during the siege due to the 25 Rueling Valley cannon fodder at the bottom. The number of people still remains above [-], but relatively speaking, the current Shaolin Temple team is still the smallest among the four coalition forces.

To say that the least casualties are naturally the Wudang faction who had been firing their guns into the sky before. The rice scrambled eggs brought more than 80 people, but currently there are still about 70 people, and the 10 people lost are basically Temporary joiners with little combat effectiveness, among which 30 Wudang elites have not lost a single soldier so far, and the three elite regiments have always maintained full staffing, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated!

So in general, the current total number of coalition forces has suddenly dropped from 260 million before the war to about 180 million, with a total loss of 80, of which about 30 were directly killed by Fang Jie with the lion's roar , the remaining 50 people were consumed by the city defense forces relying on favorable terrain and formations, and with a large number of Emei nurses as a solid backing. Compared with Wangqing Pavilion, which has only lost 3 people so far, The battle loss ratio of the two sides has reached an astonishing 1:40, Wangqing Pavilion can be said to have achieved great results at a very small price!
But having said that, among the 80 people lost by the coalition forces, except for the disciples of the elite regiment who lost less than 10 people from Mingjiao and Rueqinggu, the rest were regular regiments like cannon fodder. It is the leaders of the coalition forces of various factions who intend to send them to death to consume the vitality of Wangqing Pavilion. Although the number is a bit larger, it is still within the acceptable range. Among the remaining 180 million people, except for the Wudang faction who has a little more water, the others The elite disciples of each faction accounted for at least half of the team, and the overall combat effectiveness was no longer the same. It was not as easy to eat them as before.

Therefore, as soon as the two sides started fighting, the situation fell into a stalemate. The goal of the coalition forces to quickly break through to quickly annihilate the Wangqing Pavilion was not realized. As for the Wangqing Pavilion, although relying on the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation, they were evenly matched against an enemy several times their size, and indeed caused certain losses to the opponent, but they could not harm the foundation of the coalition forces. At best, they could only maintain the status quo. It is even more impossible to drive the coalition forces out of Xiangyang City and regain the initiative.

Such a result, from Wangqing Pavilion's point of view, is obviously acceptable, but it is difficult for the coalition forces to accept it. After all, our own personnel are several times that of the enemy army, and it is really unreasonable to fight like this. Therefore, after witnessing the Jiugong Bagua Formation After the power of the coalition suffered heavy losses, the various ministries of the coalition forces changed their offensive tactics one after another.

With no way out, Zhuge Wuming, who had no way out, and Zhuge Wuming, who was full of confidence and had ample reserves, decided to jointly strengthen the offensive on West Street after a short negotiation, and the number of personnel participating in the attack was increased several times at once. The two agreed that Fang Jie would not use the lion's roar unscrupulously in order to preserve his strength before the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation in Wangqing Pavilion was broken. All the people who went up were dead, which is better than the current situation where there is no progress, but the number of casualties is constantly increasing!

As for Dukai, who was in charge of the main attack on the east side, he didn't dare to attack aggressively due to a guilty conscience. When the battle started, he just let one of the broken monks under his banner split into thousands of double-eighteen arhat formations to face the east of the Jiugong Bagua formation on the periphery of the square. The wheel siege was launched in the front area. Obviously, the defensive power of the Eighteen Arhats Formation was much higher than its combat effectiveness. Crossing this formation was purely for errands, and there was not much enthusiasm for breaking the Jiugong Eight Diagrams Formation.

However, after the battle went on for a while, Du Chen, who was far away in the Shaolin Temple, suddenly sent a text message, clearly instructing Du Kai to let go of his ideological burden and fight this battle well. After gathering three monks who broke the precepts and a 3-strong lion's roar brigade to come for reinforcements and demand that there should be no more scruples when crossing, Fang Jie and his Wangqing Pavilion were resolutely attacked by force!
After receiving Du Chen's text message, Du Kai was a little dumbfounded. For a while, he couldn't figure out why Du Chen's attitude had changed 180 degrees in the blink of an eye. Du Chen even sent a text message to scold him. He was bloody, saying that he was forbidden to use the lion roar brigade. Although the letter did not explicitly say that the ban was lifted, it has been confirmed according to Du Chen's specific mention that an additional 3 lion roar brigade will be deployed One thing - Du Chen not only does not prohibit the Lion's Roar Brigade from participating in the battle, but also encourages it to participate in the battle!

In fact, the superficial reason for this change in Shaolin Temple's attitude and direction should be that Fang Jie had spoken generously at the bickering meeting before the start of the war, threatening to go to Shaolin Temple to perform a lion's roar to retaliate, but the root cause was that Shaolin Temple It is an indisputable fact that the "nuclear war" was launched first, and Du Chen is also very clear that no matter whether this is a misunderstanding or not, Fang Jie will make a fuss about it. Instead of passively compromising, it is better to make the mistake and fight with the opponent freely, forcing Fang Jie to take the initiative to compromise with Shaolin Temple by force!
At this time, regardless of whether Fang Jie will compromise with Shaolin Temple under the strong offensive and deterrence of Shaolin Temple, it is only said that after Du Kai received clear instructions from Du Chen, he who was still guilty and suffocated before suddenly seemed to have changed his face Rejuvenated, he finally recovered his previous momentum and courage as the first elder of the Shaolin Temple's Proving Taoist Academy, and immediately ordered the only Shaolin Temple elite group in the headquarters to form a powerful Shaolin Eighteen Arhats stick formation, along the main attack direction of the East Street Launch a strong attack on the Wangqing Pavilion players in the central square!
As for the Wudang faction in charge of the southward attack, its characteristic is that it is good at defensive ability and lacks active offensive ability, and the rice fried eggs didn't put much effort in the beginning, and it was still just letting the cannon fodder of the regular regiment go forward to die, killing Wangqing Pavilion. However, seeing that the offensive from the other two directions suddenly became fierce, even the Shaolin Temple went crazy for no reason. Naturally, it was not good to continue to put on a show in front of other allies, and immediately ordered the headquarters The people and horses stopped their random attacks, and instead split them into groups of seven to form the Zhenwu Seven-section Formation, and organized a strong attack on the nodes on the south side of the square!

The Eighteen Arhats Stick Formation of Shaolin Temple and the Seven-section Zhenwu Formation of Wudang School are well-known formations in the Jianghu. In local battles, the offensive and defensive capabilities of the two sides are basically evenly matched, and in terms of personnel strength, the city defense personnel originally from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau are slightly weaker than the master-level elite disciples of the Wudang Sect and Shaolin Temple, so the Jiugong Bagua Formation is dealing with hundreds of people on the periphery. When thousands of real martial arts seven-section formations and Shaolin eighteen arhat formations were formed, they no longer had the ease they had before, but seemed a little flustered and tired of coping!
This series of changes on the part of the coalition forces marked that the Battle of the Central Square of Xiangyang City had entered the stage of a frontal attack from the trial stage at the beginning. Due to the drastic change in the wind direction and the sudden increase in pressure, the situation quickly became unfavorable for the Wangqing Pavilion side, forming the Jiugong Bagua Formation Although the formation brigade had several times as many Emei sent milk to restore their condition, under the fierce attack of the four coalition forces, there were still some casualties very quickly, especially in some local areas, such as the streets in three directions At the junction with the square, the battle was the most intense and tragic. At this time, the Jiugong Bagua Formation, which was originally a perfect circle, seemed to have been dug out at these three places, which looked shocking!
Faced with such a grim situation, Fang Jie, who had already flown to the sect stone to observe the battle situation around the square, did not take any corresponding countermeasures, but just glanced around coldly without saying a word, while the sect crowd surrounded him below. A group of high-level executives in the Wangqing Pavilion near the stone looked up at him eagerly. At this moment, everyone didn't know what he was thinking in his heart and what action he would take, but everyone pinned their hopes on him. body.

In fact, at this time, Fang Jie didn't want to take action, but he couldn't take action. As for the so-called secret weapon, he felt that the time to take it out at this time seemed immature.

The reason why the Jiugong Bagua formation is called a formation is because its system itself is a tight organic whole. If outside personnel are used to assist or reinforce it, not only will it not be able to maintain the formation, but it will lead to confusion in the formation It caused its instant collapse. At this time, too many idlers have been mixed in the Jiugong Bagua formation, which has made it impossible to change the formation. If you send strong hands to sit at the nodes of the streets in three directions at this time, although it can be alleviated to a certain extent. The pressure of the formation personnel, but it will also destroy the integrity of the formation, resulting in more adverse negative consequences.

Therefore, watching the Nine Palaces Eight Diagrams Formation gradually opened several gaps under the siege of the coalition elite troops, Fang Jie had no choice but to do nothing. As for the lion's roar, it is not convenient to use it at this time, because the coalition forces have already learned Smart, both the attacking force and the follow-up attacking force were scattered and surrounded within a range of 400 meters outside the square, while the other large reserve forces were nestled in the outer city, giving Fang Jie no chance to concentrate and annihilate them with the lion's roar.

Just when everyone was expecting Fang Jie to find a corresponding countermeasure, but Fang Jie didn't issue any orders for a long time, the situation of the battle was obviously not good for the side of Wangqing Pavilion. After forcibly tearing open three openings at the cost of casualties, there is a tendency to spread to both sides. Even if the formation members defending these places are carefully cared for by countless Emei disciples, it seems difficult to resist the offensive pace of the coalition forces!
Xinxin, who knows the actual situation best at the moment, couldn't help shouting to Fang Jie on the sect stone: "Young Master Fang, think of a way! The Jiugong Bagua Formation is about to be overwhelmed!"

Hearing this shout, the faces of other Wangqing Pavilion executives at the scene also became gloomy. They who had regained their confidence were unavoidably shaken at this moment. Said: "Paralyzed, the big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken, and fight them! Fang Shao, take Yuan Ji and Shuang'er to the outside and shout a few times. Even if the brothers die, they should be more backed up!"

Only then did Fang Jie squint at the crowd below, and then raised his eyes to observe the battle situation around the square in the distance, and said in a deep thought: "Be safe and don't be impatient, the Jiugong Bagua formation is not so easy to break, it depends on the opponent's current investment. Combat forces, the best result is that both sides will suffer, so it is not time to fight them desperately."

"But……"

When Xinxin was about to say something, Fang Jie waved his hand and said, "With so few of us, we can stop their siege of 10 people. Do you still expect us to have no casualties?" Speaking of which, Fang Jie sighed slightly, and continued: "The other party has already shown its true skills, so now the two sides are fighting for the will to fight, not the tactics... Order the formation brigade to slightly compress the defensive formation, and Emei sent the outermost personnel to highlight their abilities Change the defense, and give the formation team time to shrink the formation."

To put it bluntly, Fang Jie's order is to let the formation troops readjust the formation to reduce the size of the Jiugong Bagua formation after a certain number of casualties, and to make those internal forces who have previously given blood to the formation brigade personnel who are about to lose their internal strength Emei sent nannies to stand out from the formation to die, and use the lives of these nannies in exchange for a certain amount of space and time to change formations.

If this were in reality, Fang Jie's behavior could be called a reckless disregard for human life. Fortunately, this is in the game. Under the guidance of Fang Jie, the Emei faction carried out a thorough system reform, and the cohesion and centripetal force of the sect were greatly strengthened. Therefore, Fang Jie's order did not cause dissatisfaction among the friendly troops of the Emei faction. Hua Yuehuang resolutely carried out Fang Jie's instructions, and ordered nearly [-] Emei Sect disciples to stand out from the formation, and temporarily set up the Emei Sect's incarnation formation outside the Nine Palaces Bagua formation, which compressed the defense line, to delay the enemy's attack as much as possible. !
The transformation of the Wangqing Pavilion side made the already chaotic scene even more chaotic. The characteristic of the incarnation formation of the heavens is that it can increase the dodge and speed of the formation personnel. Insufficient, coupled with the fact that the crowd on the battlefield was very dense, made the 3 Emei disciples standing out from the formation and the incarnation formation of the heavens deployed by themselves did not give full play to its due advantages. After desperately defending the formation for less than 3 minutes , the incarnation array of the heavens was quickly broken, and after more than [-] Emei nurses fought to the last moment and contributed their last bit of strength, the entire army was wiped out!
Although the coalition forces only wiped out the [-] Emei disciples who were not good at frontal combat at a very small price, the rhythm of the battle was also delayed. At the time, they found that a Jiugong Bagua Formation, which had shrunk by almost a quarter but had a more rigorous organizational structure, appeared in front of them!

"kill!"

The narrowed Nine Palaces Bagua Formation did not affect the morale of the coalition players. On the contrary, seeing that the entire Nine Palaces Eight Diagrams Formation was peeled off a thick layer of skin like an onion, the morale of the Allied Forces was immediately boosted. The evolution of the pavilion has proved one thing - the Jiugong Bagua formation is not an unbreakable copper wall and iron wall!

Therefore, countless coalition players were stunned for a moment, and then rushed into the enemy's formation again, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout Xiangyang City!
Since the size of the Jiugong Bagua Formation has been reduced, the coalition forces have more space to attack around the square. Previously, the four factions of the coalition forces only invested elite soldiers and strong generals on the main roads that are suitable for collective offensive advantages. At this moment, the leaders of various factions began to order the elite regiments to extend their attacks to both sides of the main road, expand the key attack areas against the enemy, and try to put more defensive pressure on the enemy!
The offensive of the coalition forces became more and more fierce. Although the number of casualties increased a lot faster than before, they also achieved good results very quickly. After several gaps were opened in the periphery of the Jiugong Bagua Formation, Fang Jie had to Ordered to shrink the formation again, and also sent [-] to [-] Emei nurses who had exhausted their internal energy due to continuous use of blood-boosting skills to the periphery of the battle formation to act as human shields!

After this round of exchanging human lives for space and time, Wangqing Pavilion, which originally had a population of about 5000, has shrunk by more than half. There are only less than 70 Emei sect disciples and more than 30 city defenses left in the entire square. The troops huddled in the central area of ​​the square, and the coalition forces suffered heavy losses in the previous rounds of strong attacks. The first batch of nearly 8 coalition players who participated in the attack has only 1 left. Around, the battle loss ratio is close to [-]:[-]!

From a purely numerical point of view, the 8:1 battle loss ratio is obviously a big loss for the coalition forces, but in a practical sense, the coalition forces are not at a disadvantage, because the players in the Wangqing Pavilion can all It can be called the elite of the elite, and now it has a battle loss ratio of 1:8, and the record achieved is obviously unsatisfactory.

Not to mention being able to deploy the combined Jiugong Bagua array city defense force, this team has long been fighting against enemies dozens of times larger than itself in the Wokou Island dungeon, and the elite group that the Emei faction touched this time is Feng The only elite group in Lin's hands that has formed a system and has rich combat experience is Feng Lin's old base. If this team can be given full space and platform to play, it will never be just like it is now, but it can't be blamed Fang Jie recklessly sent these super nannies out to die all the time. If he wanted to blame, he could only blame Wangqingge for having no retreat now, so he could only stick to his sect, Shi Lingyu, and gave the enemy a chance to attack head-on.

However, even though the battle has been fought so far, although Wangqing Pavilion has reduced its staff by more than half, the coalition forces are gradually showing signs of fatigue. The number of people fighting is somewhat unsustainable. If the fight continues without sending more people, the coalition forces can only peel off another layer of Wangqing Pavilion, but they will not be able to completely break through the Jiugong Bagua formation set up by Wangqing Pavilion in one go.

Especially the Shaolin Temple, which has the smallest number of personnel. The number of people participating in the battle has reached 20. There is a group of broken monks and an elite group that participated in the early stage of the battle. The elite regiment had fewer casualties because of its higher strength and smaller contact area with the enemy, but there were only five less than [-]-member brigades left.

Shaolin Temple's offensive force of less than 5 people is naturally more than enough to confront the Jiugong Bagua Formation of Wangqing Pavilion on a front line of nearly 300 meters. Nothing came out, but Dukai knew very well that according to the previous battle loss ratio, after a while, his side will start to lose strength, so he must send more people to enrich the frontline combat team!
But the problem is that the only one that Dukai can get now is a half-full-member breaking monks with more than 5 people. This reserve team is currently staying in the buffer zone between the outer city wall and the inner city wall. To prevent being caught by Fang Jie, now Dukai has to face a very tangled problem-whether to pull this team up and risk the huge risk of being caught by Fang Jie with a lion's roar, or to temporarily give up and annihilate them in one fell swoop Take Wangqing Pavilion back to save some property for yourself, and wait for the reinforcements from Shaolin Temple headquarters to arrive before starting operations?

If you put aside other factors, anyone will definitely choose the latter when faced with such a problem. After all, the so-called green hills will not worry about firewood. There are still nearly 5 people participating in the battle, which is enough to deal with the next battle , and there are also friendly forces launching frontal offensives in several other directions. As long as the other friendly forces can make a breakthrough, the total force invested by one's own side does not necessarily have to be weighed according to the ratio of battle losses.

However, this is a game world where people can be resurrected after death, and this battle is another sect battle to reduce the loss of the first death penalty. In fact, there is no actual benefit impact on the deceased themselves.

On the other hand, if you take a certain risk and put the last few troops into the battle to destroy the Wangqing Pavilion in one fell swoop, this deal is still quite cost-effective, and your side is nothing more than losing tens of thousands of deaths during the sect war. Punishment is just for the lost quota, but the loss caused to Wangqing Pavilion is real. Once the sect stone is broken, once Wangqing Pavilion is forced to disband, the cohesion and centripetal force of its sect, and the influence and appeal of its No. 10 faction in the world will be reduced. , Its early layout in Xiangyang City and the construction of the sect base will be severely damaged, and it is almost impossible to make a comeback.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Dukai made a more cost-effective choice, and immediately ordered the [-] reserve team to dispatch immediately to the central square for reinforcements, so as to further strengthen the offensive against Wangqing Pavilion and its own fighting power!

The problem that Du Kai worried about also exists on the lore side. However, there is also the support of the Mingjiao army on the side of the heartless valley. Fighters, so there is no need to worry about lack of follow-up for the lore. As for the main attack on rice and scrambled eggs in the south, there is no such concern. After all, the casualties of the Wudang faction in the early stage were not large, and Xiangyang City is close to the Wudang faction. Even if the 80 troops brought by Fan Chaodan are all dead this time, he can also send another million troops from the headquarters to reinforce them at any time!
Therefore, after realizing that a large number of battle attrition may affect the follow-up offensive power, all parties in the coalition made the same choice-to send more manpower and continue to maintain a strong offensive against Wangqing Pavilion!
Needless to say, under the tactical thinking of the coalition forces, Fang Jie soon couldn't stand it any longer. As a last resort, he finally pulled himself out of the pot and forced the last nearly [-] Emei school nurses like lambs. It was sent into the mouths of the wolves and tigers of the coalition forces, and this last change in Wangqing Pavilion not only caused the fighting space of our own personnel to be compressed by the enemy to a narrow range of [-] meters around the sect stone, but also This made the morale of the coalition forces even stronger, and launched a more ferocious offensive as if seeing the dawn of victory!

Facing such a dangerous situation, Xuecheng roared sternly: "Boss, use a lion's roar, and die with them!"

Xinxin scolded with red eyes: "Damn it, don't they rely on the number of people? If my formation team has a million people, their grandsons are not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth... "However, after scolding, Xinxin finally smiled dejectedly, and said: "Young Master Fang, yell, the more than 1 brothers present will not blame you, anyway, we made money!"

Qiu Xin looked nervously at Fang Jie who did not speak, while the other high-level executives of Wangqing Pavilion raised their heads to look at Fang Jie, the backbone in their hearts, and then looked down at the confident and generous man who had been so confident before the war. Qiu Xin of Que Ci, however, since the sky had already darkened, he couldn't see whether the expressions on the faces of the two people were happy or sad at this time, so he could only roughly confirm the expressions on the faces of the two under the hazy moonlight. It shouldn't mean despair.

"Wait a little longer..." Fang Jie looked up at the sky and remained silent for a long time before saying something that disappointed everyone, but then he murmured as if he was talking to himself: "Well ...The timing is still a little bit off...It seems that I have to spend a little time to provoke them..."
