Chapter 224 Consumption(1/2)
() "Come on, rush on!"
Amidst the roar of the war drums, countless soldiers began to cross the river.
On the shore, the sky-destroying formation kept firing.
The side of Broken Sword Villa was instantly plunged into a sea of fire.
Liu Xia looked at the battlefield with a solemn expression.
The endlessly surging Nu River was now dyed red with blood.
Countless corpses flowed down the river.
The offensive at Broken Sword Villa was also very fierce.
It has been more than ten minutes since the attack was launched, and 30,000 people rushed over, but not a single soldier has successfully landed ashore.
"Damn it, how did this happen? Thirty thousand people filled up the Nu River even with corpses. Why can't they be taken down?"
Zhe Tian shouted angrily.
Liu Xia looked at the battlefield and remained silent.
Apparently the other party placed some obstacles under the river.
The current of the Nu River is fast and the surface of the river is constantly turbulent, covering all the obstacles.
The army passed by along the river, and many people were stuck in the obstacles. Because they were in the water, it was inconvenient to move.
It's easy to become a living target.
It is estimated that these obstacles have existed for a long time.
Usually when sailing, these obstacles will be opened.
Allow ships to pass smoothly.
Once the war begins, these obstacles will block the river channel.
It not only prevents the infantry from forcibly crossing the Nu River, but also prevents the enemy's large-scale fleet from attacking Duijian Villa.
After all, the Liang family has been operating here for so many years.
These fortifications are well done.
"Your Highness, the enemy has counterattacked."
Miaoyin frowned and shouted.
At this moment, Liu Xia saw about five thousand soldiers from the other side on the high ground, rushing out from the raging fire and rushing into the Nu River.
Immediately, the siege soldiers who were about to reach the other side encountered a fierce resistance.
The quality of those five thousand soldiers was quite good.
At that moment, a sea of waves arose in the churning Nu River.
Immediately afterwards, those waves were dyed red with blood.
After a while, pieces of corpses began to float.
Obviously, those five thousand soldiers had undergone special training specifically for the plan of forcibly crossing the Nu River.
This kind of underwater hand-to-hand combat makes many people very uncomfortable.
Naturally, I suffered a big loss.
"withdraw troops!"
Liu Xia said calmly.
Immediately, the sound of gold ringing in the camp resounded through the sky.
The charging soldiers heard the noise and hurriedly retreated.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the positions on both sides gradually became quiet.
The Nu River surged endlessly, and the bodies of the soldiers who died in the battle were washed downstream, mixed with blood.
Liu Xia stood on the hill, silent.
This kind of consumption is huge for both the Holy Cult and Broken Sword Villa.
They attacked the city for three consecutive days without success.
But the casualties were indeed very tragic.
Especially for the Holy Cult, the casualties in three days have exceeded 7,000.
It was even more terrifying than the fierce battle in the Waterless Hills.
"Your Highness, we have to find a way to continue consuming it like this. We are a little bit overwhelmed."
Miaoyin said cautiously.
"Continue to attack the city tomorrow."
After saying these words, Liu Xia turned and left.
Only three hall masters were left, looking at each other.
"Hunyu, your highness, what's going on?"
Lord Zhetian asked curiously, somewhat confused.
"I don't know. His Highness seems to have everything in mind during this whole call. I think it's the same this time. I'm afraid he's just waiting for a suitable opportunity and taking it easy."
Hunyu has great trust in Liu Xia.
During the battle in Duanshui Hills, Liu Xia was fighting every step of the way. He admired both his vision and his mind.
Who would have thought that he could actually instigate the Huangpu family to take over the Tongtian Mountains?
Such a stroke of genius is probably beyond the imagination of many people.
And he was able to achieve it.
In the past few days, every time Liu Xia came to watch the game, he didn't speak.
Based on Hunyu's understanding of him, it was obvious that Liu Xia had already thought of a solution.
However, the time is not yet mature, so you need to wait patiently.
The three of them had their own thoughts, so they descended from the top of the mountain and headed towards their camp.
Under the protection of everyone, Liu Xia returned to the military camp.
As soon as she sat down, Caiwei girl ran over excitedly and said: "Brother, there is a letter from senior brother."
After Liu Xia turned on Taoist Priest's secret message and opened the fire paint, he took a cursory glance and a smile appeared on his face.
Now Yixin and Situ Qingcang stay in Weiyang and Wuxi Town.
Help Liu Xia pass on Zhao Yong's information.
Yixin's letter stated that Zhao Yong's army had been secretly assembled.
Just wait for the war to begin at Broken Sword Villa, and then you can take action against the Wang family, Su family, and Ouyang family.
Another group of people and horses are ready to enter Duanshui Hills and Tongtian Mountains at any time.
Completely blocking the retreat of the holy army.
"The time to close the net is almost here."
Liu Xia thought silently in her heart.
Today, there are still over 40,000 Holy Cult troops sitting cross-legged outside Broken Sword Villa.
This number is still huge.
After consuming them to about 30,000, Broken Sword Villa can be breached.
Subsequently, the fierce street fighting in Broken Sword Villa was expected to cause the holy army to suffer even more tragic losses.
When the time comes, their escape route is cut off, and when the Sun family, Huangpu family and Zhao Yong's men arrive, they will become turtles in the urn.
The property that the Holy Cult had worked so hard to manage in the northwest for many years was completely burned to the ground.
Then Liu Xia hid in his tent to practice, and waited until night. Liu Xia quietly put on his night clothes and set out from the military camp.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he flew to the bank of the Nu River.
After landing, he quietly swam toward the other shore alone.
Sure enough, less than five meters after entering the water, you can see various traps and mechanisms under the water.
It is estimated that when the army crosses the river, these traps and traps can reduce the speed of most of them by half.
This gave them enough time to block the army crossing the river.
After a lot of effort, Liu Xia found a place on the other side of you to get in.
Then he killed a soldier on guard, changed into his clothes, and went straight to Broken Sword Villa.
To be continued...
