Chapter 1189: Decisive Battle (9)
"The Immortal Palace and the Light and Shadow Cult both rejected our reinforcement proposal."
When Hu Honglian reported the news to Zhao Ning, he felt a little disappointed, "If they hadn't been busy plundering the spoils and had not devoted all their strength to building the wartime defense line, how could the Tianyi Group be able to counterattack so easily?
"Now they were beaten by the Tianyi Group to lose their troops and generals, but they still had to guard their own three-point land without letting go. They were afraid that we would steal their things. Why didn't they think about it? Once they were defeated by the Tianyi Group, all the territory would be spit out!"
The war in the neighborhoods where the resistance troops fought in Pujiang District, Sanhe District and other areas, the overall situation has been settled. Hu Honglian ended his battlefield trip and returned to Zhao Ning, and continued to play the role of staff and messenger.
After hearing Hu Honglian’s complaints, Zhao Ning did not have any emotional fluctuations.
Before the war began, he and Xu Xingmi and Jonard made it very clear that when operating tonight, the battlefield breakthrough is the most important thing, and do not disperse their strength to seize the spoils. Xu Xingmi and Jonard agreed.
But after the Light and Shadow Cult captured the city and occupied many buildings of wealth groups, they did not restrain their desires. The soldiers below could not walk when they saw the money and treasures, and the commanders at all levels above were also busy asking the troops to carry arms and goods.
The result is that the more territory they captured, the more people they had changed from combat to non-combat state, and the chaos in the neighborhood intensified. Not to mention building an emergency line of defense, they were almost a mess.
Obviously, this is the usual style of street gangs and underground forces. They are not an army at all, and there is no discipline. They are just a group of robbers, and their eyes will turn red when they see Caibao.
In the Immortal Palace, the members of the Light and Shadow Cult always put their main strength into the richest targets during the battle tonight, rather than the most difficult targets. This reflects their overall will from top to bottom, and the upper level has neither intentionally nor change it.
According to the past experience of these underground forces, fire fighting always wins and loses each other. After the battle, it is very likely that nothing can occupy much territory. However, if you take a place and move the wealth of another place and put it into your own pocket, then these wealth must be your own.
Tonight's battle is about resisting the Tianyi Group, but who can guarantee that the final victory belongs to them?
For the Immortal Palace and the Light and Shadow Cult, you can take the opportunity to get more benefits and avoid losing money. Even if the captured territory cannot be kept, as long as the property is moved back to your home, you will make sure to make a profit and not lose money.
The gang's upper class has this idea, and of course the gang warriors are jealous when they see the spoils.
Everyone is here to make money, and the purpose is to make money. If you win the battle, you may not be able to get much benefits, and you may not even be alive. However, the money and weapons are real. If you can take them away, you can take them away as soon as possible.
From the perspective of personal interests, these gang fighters are actually very rational.
But from the perspective of the combat troops, these outlaws are just a group of mobs.
If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have been defeated by the Tianyi Group so quickly.
Zhao Ning never had too much hope for such an existence.
"Don't worry." He calmly signaled Hu Honglian to be calm.
"Your Highness isn't you worried?"
“Nothing to worry about.”
"But if the Immortal Palace and the Light and Shadow Cult are defeated, the resistance soldiers will be unable to support themselves."
"They won't be defeated so soon."
"Why?"
"They still have a trump card and haven't brought it out."
"Your Highness can even calculate this?"
Zhao Ning smiled and pointed to his ear: "I heard it."
Hu Honglian: "..."
Yes, Zhao Ning had already "heard" Xu Xingmi's statement that the No. 0 plan was implemented. Not only Xu Xingmi, but Jonas also issued a similar order. Zhao Ning did not listen to them all the time. He did not know what the No. 0 plan was, but he knew that it must be something that could turn the situation around.
After all, Xu Xingmi was not anxious at all when he issued the order.
After listening to Zhao Ning briefly reposting the orders of Xu Xingmi and Jonard, Hu Honglian could only deeply admire her. Her realm was not as good as Zhao Ning. Without deliberately paying attention, she could not know the words and deeds of Xu Xingmi and Jonard.
"They really have the means to turn the situation around? Since there is, why didn't they take it out before?" Hu Honglian asked in confusion.
Zhao Ning said naturally: "Because I hadn't told them at that time that I would go to their combat areas to support them."
Hu Honglian: "..."
Zhao Ning sighed softly: "Whether Xu Xingmi or Jonard, they are all guys who don't see rabbits or eagles."
"Simply put, if we do not show enough strength, they will not try their best to fight against the Tianyi Group. In that case, they will be doomed if they are defeated. Therefore, their strategy is to make money while fighting and take as much as they can.
"Now we have repelled the attack of the Tianyi Group and showed strong strength. Xu Xingmi and Jonard have seen the power of our strong men and knew that with this power, the Secret Service, the Public Security Team, and the Security Team can no longer do anything to us and will never be defeated tonight.
"So they can take out their cards with confidence and boldness without worrying about huge losses and hurting the fundamentals.
"And if they don't show their trump card, once we force people to send reinforcements, it's to grab territory and things from the Tianyi Group. They can't actually say anything, and they will lose a lot of spoils that they could have obtained.
"The interests are currently in place, choices are not difficult to make."
Speaking of this, Zhao Ning sneered, "Don't underestimate the local snakes of the Immortal Palace and the Light and Shadow Cult. They may not have other abilities, but they must have a clear understanding of the enemies that can threaten them.
"They are willing to participate in the battle tonight, but they are sure to be able to fight almost 50% of the Tianyi Group. There is no situation where the Tianyi Group will be able to lose and lose, and they can't even protect the spoils when they counterattack."
Hearing this, Hu Honglian suddenly realized and convinced her.
"Your Highness has hills and valleys, and I am still a little bit short of it."
Hu Honglian was ashamed. She was not completely unexpected to these problems. She just cared about them and was unable to think rationally and calmly.
Zhao Ning did not respond to Hu Honglian's praise. Under the night sky where the darkness gradually faded, he looked at the bright lights and the sleepless dawn area tonight, and said calmly:
"The army will not arrive tomorrow at dusk as soon as possible. I want to see how Chen Wenshu plans to survive this day and what other solutions can he use."
......
Chen Wenshu originally thought that when he saw many powerful men from the Tianyi Group surrendering to the enemy, it was the time when he was most angry and in the worst mood, but he didn't expect that this was just the beginning.
As the war continued to advance, his anger and bad mood further deepened.
"You two explain to me why there are so many practitioners in the rebels? Why are their strength far above our practitioners?"
Chen Wenshu's saw-like eyes kept tugging back and forth on Chen Rui and Chen Huihui's faces, "Those many strong men and such big things will never happen overnight, but the Secret Service Department did not get any news in advance. You two can't make a living?!"
Both Chen Rui and Chen Huihui lowered their heads in shame.
Chen Rui thought to himself: "What does this matter to me? How long has it been since I took care of the Secret Service Department? Anyway, when I was in charge of the Secret Service Department, there were not so many practitioners in the rebels. You were going to take the Secret Service Department away from me. If you didn't do this, maybe I would have found out about this long ago!"
Thinking of this, he glanced at Chen Huihui from the corner of his eyes and couldn't help but complain:
"You little wild man is also a waste. You can't even notice such a big thing? It's really useless to give you a chance. I see how you can shirke the responsibility this time!"
The thoughts in my heart are one thing, and the expressions on my face are another. Chen Rui said to Chen Wenshu with remorse: "I didn't find this a few months ago, it was my fault.
"However, these practitioners come from just a few possibilities. Either the three major groups have secretly established connections with the world of cultivation outside the sky, or they are from the Jin Dynasty."
Speaking of this, he turned to look at Chen Huihui.
That's very obvious. My news can only be outdated news a few months ago. Now you are in charge of the Secret Service Department, so the possibility should be determined by you.
Chen Huihui gritted her teeth and said, "The Secret Service Department has eyeliners in all continents. If the three major groups establish connections with the world of cultivation in the sky, it is impossible to notice it.
"The rebels and the Jin Dynasty built a ferry bridge, and these practitioners were probably here at that time.
"But according to my elder brother, the Ferry Bridge was later destroyed by Andrew and the others, and it didn't exist for a long time. If my elder brother was right, the Jin Dynasty shouldn't have sent too many people to the rebels.
"And the rebels should be the same as us, and they dare not trust people from the other shore, so it can be reasonably inferred that there are no masters from the Saint Realm from the Jin Dynasty.
"Anyway, although these practitioners are troublesome, they only have such a little power to gather together, so it should not be too troublesome..."
After hearing Chen Huihui's words, Chen Rui sneered inwardly.
If the practitioners in the Resistance Army came from three major groups, then this incident would not have happened in recent months, and the Secret Service Department had not received any news before, so he, who was in charge of the Secret Service Department, could not be delayed.
As for the destruction of the ferry bridge between the Resistance Army and the Jin Dynasty, although Chen Huihui mentioned it several times, it seemed that she was deliberately emphasized no matter how she looked at it, Chen Rui did not think there would be any problem.
In any case, Chen Rui thought that Chen Huihui's last sentence was correct. No matter whether it was the time limit of the ferry bridge or the concerns of the resistance army, it was impossible to let the masters of the Saint Realm of the Jin Dynasty come over. Although there were many cultivators in front of him, they were very strong, but after all, they were only this few people.
In front of the army, they still can't make a comeback.
Chen Wenshu was not satisfied with Chen Rui and Chen Huihui's answers. He was about to scold the other party, but suddenly he received a latest important battle report. When he finished listening to the news, he was stunned for a moment.
Then, his tiger's eyes widened and roared like thunder, and people quickly displayed the real-time image of the battlefield of the Immortal Palace and the Light and Shadow Cult.
