"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, I don't know how many people they will have left or just accompany them 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 has been implemented. All the Tinder will be evacuated from the safe passage immediately, and no successor may not return without the order of the city owner or the successor city owner appointed by the alliance."

"Order 2: Order all remaining troops to guard the city gates, and do not open the city gates without authorization if anything happens, and those who violate the order shall be 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 co-death action will detonate the city and die 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 solemnly said: "To complete the task to the death"

"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 answered 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, a little 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 that these people have firm confidence in Fan Xiu, but no matter what, the feasibility of the alternatives can be slightly improved in this way."

"Without the strong control of the opponent's army, the current situation does not have the conditions to execute even if there is an idea. Fortunately, fortunately."

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

"Fan Xiu" looked at the majestic voices of Deputy General Zhao and the 500 guards and said with a faint relief: "I think everyone has heard the order just now. After hearing this, I can stand calmly here as the city lord and as your general. I am very relieved."

"We have nowhere to go." "Fan Xiu" said as if stating the facts, "Xiuyuan City was doomed to fail at the beginning of the war."

Everyone looked at "Fan Xiu" in silence without any movement.

The outcome of the war was actually known to all residents of the "Xiuyuan City" after the "Iron Child City" suddenly issued a war announcement.

The war between the medium-sized city-states and the small-sized city-states is inherently unequal. Without a special killer, few small city-states can defeat medium-sized city-states.

"Eat the small, strengthen the weak" is something that everyone is almost accustomed to.

The existence of the city-state alliance is based on the self-defense around this sentence that all beings are accustomed to.

The weak city-states hold together to resist the bullying of the powerful city-states, and the powerful city-states absorb the weak city-states to become their own affiliates in order to obtain resources and benefits more effectively.

But just because they were used to it, the aborigines of the Nieno continent basically didn't care about war. Whether it is attacking others or others attacking you, whether the city-state attacking you is strong or weak, no matter how many casualties there will be in the war. For most city-state residents, because of the existence of rules, as long as the city-state does not change ownership, they are willing to fight for the city-state. Even if the city changes ownership, most of the aborigines don't care who is sitting on their heads, except for those who have already had hatred. At most, when encountering tyranny, I feel my predecessor and pray for the next city-state war.

The same goes for the citizens of "Xiuyuan City". It’s just that the reputation of the "Iron Child City" within a radius of 10,000 miles is not good, plus the rumors that may "slaughter the city", and the city owner "Fan Xiu" is relatively popular, so most of the city residents even know that "Xiu" "Far city" is doomed to fail and still hopes that there will be a "miracle."

"Originally, as the city lord, I didn't plan to struggle." "Fan Xiu" continued without ups and downs as if talking about things that had nothing to do with him: "After a fight, I brought the city knot with a lower level of quality. Heart and those who are willing to follow me leave."

"Go to the Qin Alliance to find a suitable location and start again. That might be better and safer for us."

"If Tiezhicheng's goal is to get the city in my hands, I am willing to give up if I lose, as long as the conditions are sufficient. As long as they treat the city people kindly."

"Fan Xiu" stated in an expressionless tone without ups and downs: "As a ground-level practitioner, even if you just enter the ground-level, as long as you don't die, I can afford the loss of a city's heart."

"But" "Fan Xiu" sharpened his eyes, and his voice became cold and angry. "However, there is no announced city-state war in the Nieno continent that is so inexplicable."

"Even if your Tiezhicheng is strong, you should at least give an excuse for war, even if it is just because Xiuyuancheng is not pleasing to the eye, it is acceptable."

"However, no." "Fan Xiu" voice was angry and low, "Tiezhicheng just issued a war announcement. A war announcement without any reason for war. This is even more disregarded than being regarded as an ant."

"Anger" and "Fan Xiu" looked at the faint indignation on everyone's faces, and their voices calmed down, "I was also angry at the beginning. Not only was angry, but also deeply ashamed."

"Fan Xiu" paused, and calmly said: "However, I am not angry anymore." Then he looked at the people and said, "50,000 army, four powerful troops. Mountain destroyers, elite troops; war behemoths, Deterrent force; wood spirit troops, elite troops of pure practitioners; spear-refining troops, mass destruction troops."

"Tsk, tusk, tusk." "Fan Xiu" snorted like self-deprecating, "To deal with our small Xiuyuan city, Tiezhicheng actually sent such an exaggerated luxury lineup. This is not paying attention to us. This is clearly When we are a medium-sized city-state to fight"

"Shock is really too shocking." Although "Fan Xiu" said shocked, neither his tone nor the look on his face meant the slightest "shock". On the contrary, he was indifferent and ridiculed. We were able to admit defeat with the treatment given by Tie Zhicheng after we were born. Then, "The tone became cold again, "That piece of information that looks like a rumor is here."

"Fan Xiu" watched everyone in front of them suppressed their anger, gritted their teeth, and said coldly: "After Tiezhi City has captured Xiuyuan City, it will use sacrifices to force the massacre mode on. Xiuyuan City regardless of race , Men and women, young and old, mortals or cultivators, kill them all without leaving one.

All the guards, including Vice-General Zhao, opened their eyes instantly, their pupils contracted, and their scalp was numb, and the whole body became cold.

Vice-General Zhao couldn't help saying: "My lord, this information"

"Fan Xiu" looked at Vice-General Zhao's eyes and said lightly: "This is the information given by Di Ting."

Hearing the word "di-listening", either Vice-General Zhao or his guard immediately no longer question the authenticity of the intelligence. In a word, the information given by "Di Ting" has never made a mistake.

"Fan Xiu" looked at everyone's disbelief after receiving the information from "Tucheng", and said calmly, "I can't figure out if it's not right."

Vice General Zhao looked at "Fan Xiu" and nodded.

"I couldn't figure it out just before I was ambushed." "Fan Xiu" looked at everyone and said frankly, "but I figured it out just now. That's why I gave such an order."

Then, looking at everyone's hard faces, they said without expression: "We have nowhere to go."

"listen"

"Fan Xiu" refers to the direction of the ears and the direction of Zhongying.

Seeing Vice Admiral Zhao's puzzled expression, he said without ups and downs: "Is it loud, isn't it?"

Vice Admiral Zhao nodded in confusion, because the fighting position had already retreated from the former camp to the middle camp, and the voice was naturally loud.

"Don't you think this voice has been loud for a long time" "Fan Xiu" said blankly.

Vice-General Zhao was taken aback.

The person who can be the city leader and deputy general in the city-state military system is naturally not a fool. Looking at the meaningful eyes of "Fan Xiu" and thinking about the command issued, Deputy General Zhao turned his head and reacted thoroughly.

"Stealing the City"

"Fan Xiu" nodded blankly, "The Tie Zhijun is waiting for us to collapse on its own, and then take advantage of the opportunity of the collapse of the army to knock down the city in one fell swoop."

Vice General Zhao's face instantly became ugly.

"Fan Xiu" ignored the ugly face of Vice Admiral Zhao, and said to himself: "We only gathered less than 3,000 soldiers."

Vice-General Zhao nodded hard.

"Whether this number has been rising since the beginning of the battle," "Fan Xiu" asked blankly.

"Not bad." Vice-General Zhao nodded, "According to the former battalion chief's report, we gathered 6,000 soldiers one hour ago, which is basically half of the number of people on the expedition, and according to feedback, this number is still rising. Press According to the figures in the last briefing, the number of our army has returned to 7,500."

"But the majority of those who came back were recruits." "Fan Xiu" said affirmatively, "Judging from the situation at the time when it was in high school, the Tie Zhijun was absolutely capable of reducing our army by one-third or more in an instant. Judging from the faintly visible squadron of wolf cavalry, after our army is defeated, at least half of it will be killed by trailing strikes.

After a pause, "Fan Xiu" with a calm tone but with a mocking expression on his face said: "But the actual situation is that the number of casualties in our army is less than 2,000, and the number of deaths in the rout is only about 500. This is not a one. The record that a crushing army should have."

"Although the Tie Zhijun was very active in chasing after our army was defeated, but now they think that their purpose is not to wipe us out. It is more to drive us away, let us run out of desperation, and roll back to the city."

"But my lord," Deputy General Zhao, Fang Zheng's face frowned, "There is no need for Tie Zhicheng to do this."

Many of the soldiers in the line nodded in agreement.

"Fan Xiu" sighed lightly and said inexplicably, "Because their goal is not us."

Without waiting for the people to change their colors, they immediately said, "They just need a Xiuyuan city that looks intact."

"Why" Deputy General Zhao said in a difficult voice.

"Fan Xiu" looked at him, then looked at the soldiers who lined up to listen, and said in a low voice: "Because their real goal is the reinforcements from the Alliance, the entire Qin Alliance." Then he said with some difficulty: "Even. This war is just the prelude to a series of alliance wars. And we are now at the node of alliance history."

Hearing "Fan Xiu"'s speculation, everyone was stunned.

"Fan Xiu" raised his face and looked at Vice Admiral Zhao and the 500 soldiers and said: "If Xiuyuan City is occupied by the Tiezhi Army intact, you can imagine what will happen to the Alliance reinforcements that are completely defenseless. Even if the Alliance finally obtains it. Victory, I Xiuyuan City will always hang on the pillar of shame in the history of the alliance."

After speaking, listening to the scream of killing still hovering in the middle camp, he slowly closed his eyes.

"Behind you is the homeland." "Fan Xiu"'s hoarse voice with strong emotions, the majestic voice sounded faintly once again as he opened his eyes.

"Fan Xiu" looked at Vice Admiral Zhao and the 500 soldiers and said frankly, "Originally, neither as the city lord of Xiuyuan nor your direct chief officer had to explain to you. This time, for the 150,000 city of Xiuyuan city. The life and death of the people and our own life and death, as well as the name behind Xiuyuan City heard by others and ourselves after reincarnation, I think it is necessary for you to have a clear understanding of some situations."

Then he said in a serious tone: "Next, I need you to follow me to do one thing, one thing that is dead and lifeless."

After digesting "Fan Xiu"'s shocking inferences, Vice Admiral Zhao looked at "Fan Xiu" resolutely, and said sonorously: "My lord, please order."

The 500 soldiers knelt down on one knee at the same time and said loudly: "Please give the army orders."

"Behind you is the homeland." "Fan Xiu" sighed again, "Once the Iron Juvenile Army takes over our city, in order to prevent the leakage of news, the slaughter of the city mentioned in the information will definitely happen. In the city slaughter mode, regardless of you Whether it is a mortal or a cultivator, all the methods of resurrection will be invalid. The only way to reincarnate is death and reincarnation before everyone. The personal strength of the cultivator is indeed very strong, but under the suppression of the military strength of the army, it can only be regarded as a little strong. It’s just some ants. We have nowhere to go."

"Our family is behind us, and our Hmong is preparing to evacuate. In order to give enough time for the 150,000 citizens to evacuate. We have to turn back and move forward."

"Since the enemy wants to wait for us to collapse and take the city, we can only find a way to break through in other directions. And the most suitable direction is undoubtedly the immediate rear where our army was driven from the rout. We need to face the enemy. Break through."

"As long as we can bring forward with enough threatening power to stimulate the morale of all our soldiers, then we will have a chance to reverse the entire battle."

"Fan Xiu" looked at everyone and said frankly: "This is a dead end. Compared with the military strength of the enemy and ours, it can be said that it is a dead end."

Seeing everyone unmoved, he nodded and continued in a gentle tone: "This is also a path of hope that breaks the chains of fate and the only way for all of us to survive."

"So..." "Fan Xiu" looked at the people coldly and said, "Are you ready to accompany me to death?"

"war"

"war"

"war"

Listening to the three "war" words hoarse by Vice General Zhao and the 500 guards, a smile appeared on the majestic and solemn face of "Fan Xiu", and the big knife in his hand walked from the line where the guards turned and separated automatically. In front of the team, he laughed boldly: "Then, let's go to death together. Let's see where the elite soldiers of the Iron Child City are strong."

"Triangular charge, the soldiers charge with me." "Fan Xiu" held his sword high and rushed towards the Tie Zhijun with a loud shout.

With the formation of the triangular charge formation headed by "Fan Xiu", the originally scattered military energy suddenly formed into a dense and thick mass around several feet above the entire triangular charge formation.

From the sky above the battlefield, you can see an oval-shaped black-yellow air mass rushing upstream in a pile of yellow mist that is slowly retreating and almost unformed, and rushing towards the huge iron-gray air mass that is fan-shaped and not too tight.

When the mysterious yellow air mass went upstream through the scattered Huangmeng mist, some of the yellow mist spread to both sides, and some automatically gathered around the Xuanhuang air mass to form a strand of "ribbon".

These ribbons that automatically gathered around the Xuanhuang Qi regiment were the few remaining veterans in the remnant army gathered by the "Xiuyuan Army".

The scattered mist that spread to both sides is the repeated weakness of the recruits driven by the "Iron Juvenile Army".

From here, you can intuitively see the difference between veterans and recruits.

When the black-yellow air mass with "streamers" collided with the fan-shaped iron-gray air mass, the contact surface of the iron-gray air mass and the black-yellow air mass was obviously dented, but after a while, the depression was removed from both sides. The iron-gray air masses that have gathered are filled up again.

Only before the two armies’ military qi had come into contact, they released an attribute that could only be mastered by the ground-level practitioners. After killing the oncoming two dozen enemy troops, the "front" led by Fan Xiu, possessed by Ning Yuan "It was intertwined with the fan-shaped attack surface of the "Iron Youth Army".

As a newcomer to the ground-level cultivator who has just broken through the school level, the only skill that "Fan Xiu" masters is "Splitting the Ground". To put it bluntly, it is the impact knife energy of soil attribute.

The power of the sword energy of the attribute vitality is indeed amazing. Even if it was eliminated by the military pressure, it killed more than 20 enemy troops, causing the enemy troops facing "Fan Xiu" to unconsciously stop. And it was the insignificant meal in the overall situation that gave the "front" led by "Fan Xiu" a slight possibility to break the enemy's front.

It is a pity that such an attack can only be released seven or eight times even if there is no military force to suppress Fan Xiu. Under the military force, this trick "Split the Earth" and "Fan Xiu" can only be released once before the military force of both sides is completely entangled. , It can only be released once.

One, two, three. After beheading several enemy soldiers, Ning Yuan gradually became familiar with Fan Xiu's tactics, and the subsequent killing became easier. Although Fan Xiu has a lot of tactics, the most commonly used in warfare is only three knives: one cuts the neck and the head, one diagonal cuts the heart, and one cut the body. Simple and brutal, but combined with the fitness talent of Fan Xiu's second stage and the powerful talent that has deepened to the strength of nine cows, it has become the most effective killing method. .

"Fan Xiu" did not lead the troops to fight aimlessly at will. The two abilities of "Xizhao" and "Yaoyan" have been fully activated before contact with the enemy. Through the detailed reproduction of "Sunshine" and the calculation ability of "Yaoyan", the calculation ability is purposefully directed towards the weakness and weakness of the frontal enemy. The formation is weak and rushes forward.

Led by the decisive and brutal killing of "Fan Xiu", and amidst the high morale of rising aspirations, "Fan Xiu" and Vice Admiral Zhao led the 500 soldiers and did not quickly lose the battle under the encirclement of several times the enemy. Instead, he rose up with more and more courageous momentum. After seeing the veterans who were only dependent on experience and combat instinct after seeing the city masters fighting as a forward, the veterans who were originally attached to the "Fan Xiu" quickly integrated into the triangular charge formation led by "Fan Xiu".
