Rebirth of the Stars

According to the existing intelligence, Ning Yuan used "Yaoyan" and Qimen induction to calculate the general trend of nothing more than two.

The remnants of the "Xiuyuan City" were besieged and annihilated here, and Fan Xiu and others were captured.

The remnant army of the "Xiuyuan City" was defeated again and swept the city behind, causing the city to be directly occupied, and Fan Xiu and others were captured.

Ning Yuan concluded that the latter case is more likely.

With the military power of the "Iron Child City", even if it doesn't take so much time and effort, it can easily capture the "Xiuyuan City". It's just that if the "Xiuyuan City" refuses to defend the city, it will cause damage to the city wall. With the mountain destroyer and the behemoth siege, Ning Yuan estimated that this kind of damage should be irreversible.

So, the "Xiuyuan City" that can be captured no matter how you do it, as a medium-sized city-state "Iron Child City" that has a crushing advantage in resources, military power, or other things, why should it use 5000 elite soldiers as bait to lure? Xiuyuan Army" out of the city?

After all, what was the reason for this city-state war?

In Fan Xiu's memory, Ning Yuan did not find the answer. "Iron Zhicheng" only issued a war announcement to "Xiuyuan City", and then sent troops directly towards "Xiuyuan City". Fan Xiu even wanted to find a third party to conduct war mediation during the buffer period and didn't know how to mediate. It seems that "Iron Zhicheng" wants to destroy "Xiuyuan City" for no reason. Fan Xiu even appeared in the information collected later that "Iron Zhicheng" was going to slaughter the "Xiuyuan City".

"Why?" These are the three words that have been in the minds of Fan Xiu and the staff of "Xiuyuan City" since "Iron Zhicheng" declared war. It is also a problem that everyone is puzzled by.

It wasn't until the information about the four special forces was received that Fan Xiu's mind seemed to flash with a flash of light, and there was a vague guess. But because of many reasons, I didn't think about that vague idea carefully.

However, Ning Yuan, who digested Fan Xiu's memory, faintly guessed the veil hidden in this somewhat silly war because of the influence of his talent.

According to the information learned in memory. It should be said that the "Iron Child City" can only be regarded as an ordinary middle-level city-state among the medium-sized city-states to have four relatively special forces at the same time. Especially the wood spirit troops, such as pure warlock practitioners or pure wood spirit tribe practitioners, and the large spear-refining troops, which are extremely money-burning troops.

A mature medium-sized city-state, that is, a city-state with a population of one million and the proportion of practitioners reaching the extreme 30% (Of course, even a medium-sized city-state with a population of one million cannot reach the perfect three. One hundred thousand practitioners), among all three hundred thousand practitioners, it is possible to find a professional warlock who wants to find a song, or even more, but if you want to find a professional who is all wood warlocks It is not easy.

To put it bluntly, one can find a curved wood warlock among 300,000 practitioners. There are almost only two medium-sized city states with a population of one hundred million, and there are at most three.

No matter how it counts, it is impossible for "Iron Zhicheng" to be in this one.

Even if it is not a sorcerer, but a wood spirit clan who is very easy to form a wood spirit force, it is the same.

Because the wood spirit tribe is quite an exclusive race among all spirit tribes on the Nieno continent, and they basically only live in the major "Sen Leagues". For example, the "Longsen League" is established in the dragon blood forest. Spirit tribe-led alliance. Wood spirits rarely appear in territories dominated by human races.

Of course, if a certain city-state has established a "friendship" with a certain group of wood spirits, it would be another matter.

But even Ning Yuan, who remembered the "Iron Child City" in the intelligence, didn't think that the other party would get on the line with a certain wood spirit clan.

From this, Ning Yuan speculated that the Mu Ling troops should not be the troops that originally belonged to the "Iron Zhicheng".

Let's look at the "Large Refining Spear" unit. Refining spears, especially large-scale refining spears, is an emerging thing that has only appeared for a few hundred years in Fan Xiu's age.

That's right, unlike other gas refining technology products that usually transform from large-scale to small-scale, refining guns are a "heterogeneous" that transforms from miniaturization to large-scale.

The refining spear of the Nieno Continent was originally a toy for practitioners, but it was only used by mortals to deal with wild beasts and to terrorize those timid and fierce monsters.

Until someone came up with a whim, refining the refining spear with the technique of refining treasures.

Although the gun was originally powered by the source stone, it was basically a mechanical way to stimulate the ammunition. For mortals, speed is also powerful, but it is only for mortals.

For cultivators, even if they are just preparatory cultivators who have condensed the "aura", as long as the mechanical kinetic energy refining spear does not hit the critical point, it can only cause them to be injured. And the mid-soldier cultivator who stepped into the "sea of ​​air" can rely on the improved reaction ability to dodge this kind of mechanical kinetic energy refining ammunition.

However, this situation has changed after the advent of the refining spear that uses rune power as the active energy.

Practitioners have discovered that this kind of refining spear inspired by runes using source stone as energy can threaten soldiers-level practitioners in the hands of mortals. And if it is in the hands of practitioners, such as those in the mid-soldier level, it can even pose a threat to practitioners who have just entered the husband level.

This discovery attracted great interest to those practitioners, who began to study, and the subsequent discovery completely changed the fate of the "toy" of refining guns. It also led to the birth of a new branch profession among the later practitioners.

The name of the new branch profession is called "Gunner."

That major discovery is the popular "caliber is justice" nowadays.

Research has found that under the same material, the larger the caliber of the refining gun is, the more runes of the same type are engraved and the more advanced it is. The power of the same ammunition will have a geometric difference.

Whether it is the superimposition of the same kind of rune or the change of caliber, the large-scale refining gun has become an inevitable choice.

However, although the spear refining thing is good, it has a disadvantage, that is, it burns money extremely. This is especially true for large-scale gun-refining units such as large-scale gun-refining troops. In Fan Xiu's era, the refining gun had not yet achieved production line operations, and could only be refined individually by skilled workers in the refining workshop.

Of course, based on the memory and intelligence digested by Ning Yuan, "Iron Zhicheng" is not that it can't afford a large battalion of spear-making troops, but it is for the "Iron Zhicheng" to raise such a unit.

Based on the existing intelligence, it is also unlikely that this large-scale spear-making unit is the original unit of the "Iron Child City".

In fact, there is a more direct evidence that these two units are not "Iron Child City" troops, that is, from the "Iron Child City" battle reports that have been circulated in the past, neither "Wood Spirit Force" nor "Large Refining Spear" has appeared. force". Even the Siege Behemoth troops have not appeared.

Only the Destroyer Warriors are the elite troops trained by the "Iron Child City". Moreover, in the information circulating for so many years, the "Iron Child City" has only trained two teams with a little bit more than the mountain-breaking force, and so far, even one piece of the mountain-breaking force song has been dissatisfied.

Since the wood spirits, spears, and giant beast troops are not "Iron Child City" troops, where did they come from? And why did you temporarily join the "Iron Child City" to participate in this already disparity war?

Then let's go back to the original problem again. With such a luxurious lineup of troops, why did the "Iron Child City" have to spend so much time to draw the troops of Xiuyuan City out of the city?

Vaguely, Ning Yuan had already guessed.

One of the purposes of the "Iron Child City" or the power behind the "Iron Child City" is undoubtedly "Xiuyuan City", but it is very likely that what the other party wants is not a broken "Xiuyuan City". It is a "Xiuyuan City" that is "intact".

This is the direct purpose of this war.

So what is the deeper purpose?

Ning Yuan thought of the letter of help issued by Fan Xiu in the memory information, and his heart was chilled, and his scalp was numb.

A "good" "Xiuyuan City".

A letter of assistance that has been issued.

The purpose of the "Qin" alliance.

A "line" sprang up.

Ning Yuan's heart is heavy.

I remembered that the chasing soldiers mentioned by Chuan Lingbing had been surrounded on three sides.

Since it is an encirclement and annihilation, why not completely encircle it?

Even if it is "sitting the three and missing one", why leave the side that retreats to the city alone?

"I really didn't hide it." Ning Yuan sneered mockingly in his heart.

But precisely because of the other party's unconcealed attitude, even though Ning Yuan was in a heavy mood, he still had some vague thoughts.

Although he said a lot, it was only a few breaths after the time had passed. The Herald was still on his knees, clasping his fists and looking at "Fan Xiu".

While using "Yaoyan" in his consciousness to deduce the feasibility of those vague ideas, "Fan Xiu" said to Chuan Lingbing:

"You go and inform Deputy General Zhao to summon all the remaining scouts of our army. I have an order to issue."

After speaking, he turned to look at the map on the low table and said calmly: "Go, I will come out later."

"Yes." When Chuan Lingbing heard the calm and steady voice of "Fan Xiu", his desperate mood eased a little, and he got up and ran out of the account after a salute.

At this time, the shouting and killing of the front camp of the camp had faintly approached the middle camp.

"Fan Xiu" stared at the map on the low table, especially the terrain around this abandoned camp originally used for field training.

After ensuring that all the details can be fully reproduced under the "Sunset", "Fan Xiu" grabbed the big knife stuck in the ground.

After waving and familiarizing himself in the camp for a while, "Fan Xiu" took a deep breath, cheered up his tired body, and muttered softly, "Behind you is the homeland."

He raised his head and walked out of the tent with a majestic and calm expression.

Coming to the outside of the account, a fairly complete guard force has lined up and waited here.

The guards of the original battalion, but now only these 500 people remain.

They are veterans handpicked by "Fan Xiu" one by one, and they are also the seeds that "Fan Xiu" intends to train into elites.

However, after this battle, do you know how many people are left? Or just accompany yourself to the death on the battlefield.

Hearing the screams of killing and the screams of the soldiers when they died in the middle camp, the eyes of the guards in the front row reflected the slight anxiety, panic, and despair on the faces of the guards.

"Fan Xiu" looked at them calmly and quietly, until the look on the guard's face was slightly calm.

At this time, Deputy General Zhao rode over with the remaining seven detectives.

"Fan Xiu" turned to look at Lieutenant Zhao who bowed slightly and the scout riding behind him. Then looking at the messenger beside him, a majestic voice sounded in the hoarse:

"Pass the City Lord's Order."

Chuan Lingbing, Deputy General Zhao and others looked at him.

"Fan Xiu" looked at the remaining seven scouts with a majestic expression:

"The seven scout riders quickly withdrew to'Xiuyuan City' and informed the left-behind deputy city lord and other main responsible persons of the city lord's order."

After a pause, he continued: "There are three orders. First, the ‘Tinder’ plan will be implemented. All ‘Tinders’ will be evacuated from the safe passage immediately, and they cannot return without the order of the successor of the City Lord or the Alliance’s delegation.”

"Order 2: Order all remaining troops to guard the city gates, and do not open the city gates without authorization when anything happens, and those who violate the order are "cut"."

After a short pause, "Fan Xiu"'s voice became hard as iron: "In any case, all troops out of the city are included in our army. You can't open the door when you see any broken troops in our army."

The eyes calmly looked at the eyes of the seven scouts and said: "The defeated army including the city lord."

Lieutenant General Zhao, Lingbing and his guards were all taken aback when they heard the orders from "Fan Xiu", and then they were shocked.

However, "Fan Xiu" ignored it, and went on to say, "Only when the city lord and deputy city lord give orders at the same time, can the city gate be restarted."

"Command 3: In case the enemy forces the ruined army into the city," "Fan Xiu" said with an indifferent expression, "Order the deputy city lord to use all communication methods to request the Alliance to stop all rescue operations. If the communication is blocked, it will start. The "Death Together" action detonated the city and died together with the enemy."

I closed my eyes and let everyone who heard the order digest it. When I opened my eyes again, they looked at the seven scouts calmly and said, "Did you hear clearly?"

The seven looked at each other, clasped their fists and said solemnly, "Swear to the death to complete the task!"

"Fan Xiu" shook his head and said in a serious tone: "I don't need you to die. I want you to live and pass the order to the deputy city lord and all relevant persons in charge completely and accurately."

"Yes!" The seven responded in unison again.

"Go, take advantage of the fact that the enemy forces have not yet closed." "Fan Xiu" waved his hand to let the scout leave.

"My lord!" Vice Admiral Zhao went up to give a salute, hesitant to speak.

"Fan Xiu" waved his hand to stop Vice Admiral Zhao's words, looked at his eyes carefully and said: "We have nowhere to go."

After speaking, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he turned and walked to the front of the guard array, looking at the veterans who quickly calmed down after hearing the order of "Fan Xiu".

All the guards were selected by Fan Xiu from the barracks one by one, and the youngest had been with Fan Xiu for at least three years.

From the expressions on the faces of these soldiers and the emotions in their eyes, "Fan Xiu" knew that even in the face of death that anyone could see today, "Fan Xiu" as the lord of the city personally cut off the final escape Under the circumstances, they were still willing to believe in the city lord Fan Xiu.

"Fan Xiu" looked at the familiar figures in front of him, looked at their calm and trusting gazes, his chest was like a stone.

Although his chest is uncomfortably blocked, it is still majestic and calm on the surface.

From the corner of "Fan Xiu"'s eyes, he glanced at the phrase "There is no way to retreat", and then he calmed down for a moment, and Lieutenant General Zhao nodded insignificantly with a steady expression on his face.

To say that Fan Xiu's vision is good. Whether it was the 500 guards or the deputy general Zhao, even if he heard Ning Yuan's "Fan Xiu" order the equivalent of digging his own grave, he could maintain his apparent calmness. Even the "military spirit" that symbolized morale did not fluctuate much, and even the morale that was at a trough had risen slightly.

("I really don't know whether to say that Fan Xiu's personality is great or these people have firm confidence in Fan Xiu? But anyway, at least in this case, the feasibility of the alternatives can be slightly improved.")

("Without the strong control of the opponent's army, the current situation does not have the conditions for execution even if there are ideas. Fortunately! Fortunately!")

Ning Yuan, who was possessed by Fan Xiu, murmured fortunately in his consciousness.
