() "Your Highness, our spies have entered the Duanshui hilly area, where the Liang family has built fortifications. More than 40,000 people are now stationed there, forming a line of defense. It seems that they are preparing to fight us to the death.
"
At this moment, Elder Hunyu cupped his fists and said.
"forty thousand!!"
Although Liu Xia was calm, he was still shocked when he heard the news.
Forty thousand troops were almost the main force of the Liang family.
All of them were sent to the Broken Water Hills, obviously intending to fight to the death.
The other entrance to Broken Sword Villa is the Tongtian Mountains.
The terrain there makes it impossible to launch a large-scale attack. It is really impossible for one man to break through.
Therefore, the Liang family was not worried at all that Liu Xia would be stupid enough to attack the Tongtian Mountains.
Liu Xia knew in his heart that the Liang family was stalling for time. He used the influence of his family to create a storm in the court and wanted to recall him to Longdu.
As a result, the Holy Religion became a piece of loose sand.
Those family heads cannot attack for a long time, otherwise they will have to retreat in despair.
Although the Liang family has suffered losses, as a noble family, it will not be damaged. In a few years, they will still be the first noble family in the northwest.
At that time, it was easy for him to seek revenge.
Unfortunately, he did not know that Liu Xia was ordered to exterminate the Holy Cult.
The Liang family thought he could turn everything around, but this time, he was going to miscalculate.
In other words, it was not Liu Xia who wanted to destroy the Liang family, but the emperor.
Therefore, Liu Xia was confident.
Now the Liang family wants to delay time, but Liu Xia will not give him a chance.
"Your Highness, the terrain of Duanshui Hills is complex, stretching for dozens of miles and covering a radius of three to four hundred miles. There are countless swamps and woodlands. The Liang family has arranged four lines of defense and three barriers in the hills. I heard that there are still underground structures that used to fight against the sky.
The tunnel used by the Xuanwang Dynasty. With just the men and horses in our hands, it would be impossible to attack Duanshui Hills."
At this moment, Miaoyin clasped her fists and said that he had always been calm and had objections to Liu Xia's attack on the Liang family.
"Master Miaoyin Hall means that we will stop fighting once we reach here?"
"This is not what I meant."
"Huh, before the war started, I said that the Duanshui Hills are not our breakthrough point. Our breakthrough point is the Tongtian Mountains. The fiercer the fight in the Duanshui Hills, the harder the Sun family's main battlefield in the Tongtian Mountains will be.
Take it easy. The Liang family, I have to fight. If anyone disturbs the morale of the army, he will be punished on the spot."
Liu Xia immediately stood up, looked around, and drank angrily.
"promise!"
Immediately, everyone in the room clasped their fists and shouted.
The three hall masters and so many household masters all felt like Ming Jing.
Although the Duanshui Hills are dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, they can still attack them. The Tongtian Mountains are simply their nightmare.
It's simply impossible to capture.
Letting the Sun family go is really letting the Sun family seek death.
Now, in the hearts of these family heads and hall heads, Liu Xia is just a fool who can only talk on paper.
But helpless because of Liu Xia's identity, they had no choice but to do this.
If the Sun family's forces were gathered together to attack Duoshui Qiungling with all their strength, although the losses would be heavy, for the sake of the Liang family's fortune, the heads of the family might fight with all their might.
Now that they have divided their forces into two groups, they all know in their hearts that neither the Duanshui Hills nor the Tongtian Mountains can be conquered.
What will Liu Xia do then?
Isn't it the same as withdrawing troops in despair?
For a moment, everyone felt secretly sad.
"I want to go to Duanshui Hills in person later to see such a dangerous method. Cover the sky, Miaoyin, Soul Jade, Su Yuanshan, you guys go with me."
"I obey my orders!"
Suddenly, a group of people shouted.
Liu Xia then flicked his sleeves, pretended to be very angry, and came out of the room.
Sun Yu and several patriarchs of the Sun family lived in a private house on the east side of Wuxi Town.
Liu Xia pushed open the door of Sun Yu's room. Sun Yu and several patriarchs were discussing matters.
When they saw Liu Xia coming in, they all saluted Liu Xia.
"Guys, the head of the Sun family and I have important matters to discuss. Please come back later."
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
Immediately, the big clan leaders retreated one after another.
After closing the door, Liu Xia hurriedly asked: "Is there any news about Huangpuying?"
"A spy was sent here just a moment ago, saying that his men and horses have already arrived at the Liang family, but they are stationed with the Liang family in the Tongtian Mountains. There is also a big patriarch of the Liang family stationed in the Tongtian Mountains."
Sun Yu frowned and said.
Whether they can capture the Tongtian Mountains or not, the Huangpu family is the most important factor. If they cannot be stationed in the Tongtian Mountains, this will be troublesome.
"Your Majesty, we have to find a way quickly, otherwise if this continues, we will be trapped and die here."
Sun Yu said anxiously.
"Liang Yixuan is very smart, and he is somewhat afraid and suspicious of the Huangpu family. I think he may not really believe Huangpuying. If he wants Huangpuying to enter the Tongtian Mountains to set up defenses, I am afraid it will take a lot of trouble."
Liu Xia gritted his teeth and said.
"Your Majesty, has there been a solution?"
Seeing Liu Xia's look, Sun Yu naturally had an idea and asked hurriedly.
"Forget it, there is no way to talk about it. Tomorrow we will launch an attack on Duanshui Hills. I will find a way to make the battle more intense. The Liang family will bear heavy pressure, and then I will go to the Tongtian Mountains to assassinate the patriarch. How many times?
After all the torture, Liang Yixuan will definitely send the Huangpu family’s army and some of their henchmen to the Tongtian Mountains. Then, we will have a chance."
Liu Xia said thoughtfully.
"Is this solution feasible?"
"There is only this way now. If we attack Duanshui Hills, those family heads have selfish motives, and your Sun family will suffer heavy losses. It is not cost-effective, and it will not achieve our goal. In this way, you will mobilize your troops tomorrow
Go to the Tongtian Mountains to put pressure on the Liang family. I will continue to stay here and act according to the situation."
"That's all we have to do."
Sun Yu nodded.
At night, the moonlight shines like water on the earth.
Liu Xia, together with the church master and several family heads from the Holy Religion, took advantage of the night and quietly entered the Duanshui Hills.
The Duanshui Hills are a rare hilly area on the Yunfei Plain in the northwest.
High and low mountains, undulating, divide this place into thousands of ravines, layer upon layer.
At a glance, there is almost no flat land.
On the high ground of the hills, the Liang family built walls more than three meters high, and there were traps everywhere.
Although the terrain here is harsh, it is a natural tea garden. The entire hilly area supplies tea from almost the entire northwest and even the Dragon Soul hinterland.
Within a radius of four hundred miles, there are tea gardens of the Liang family.
It is also one of the sources of income for the Liang family.
The Liang family has been operating here for thousands of years and knows the terrain here very well.
After Liu Xia arrived here, he discovered the danger here.
At this moment, Zhe Tian unfolded the map.
There are four highlands in this hilly area.
Among them, the highland located in Zhongyang is the highest, but the terrain there is relatively gentle. The Liang family has placed three barriers there to block the route into the hills.
The Liang family also deployed a defense system on the remaining three highlands, and these three highlands surrounded the central highland like stars over the moon.
In this way, as long as the enemy appears, they can reinforce each other and surround the enemy unexpectedly.
Once one place is attacked, reinforcements from three places will make the enemy very passive.
The Liang family built cities and castles on the high ground, and built checkpoints and barriers below the high ground.
Stationed here are the elite troops of the Liang family.
There are so many masters.
If you want to attack, it is almost impossible to do it without twice as many men as the opponent.
When Liu Xia saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
A hard fight here is enough to make both the Holy Cult and the Liang family pay a heavy price.
Seeing how dangerous this place was, Liu Xia finally relaxed.
"Hmph, but that's the case. I thought this place was a natural danger? Zhetian, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"
Liu Xia asked disdainfully.
The surrounding families all silently despised Liu Xia.
"Your Highness, the enemy has such a layout, I think I am willing to lead some troops to attack a little bit, and then the remaining family heads will send troops to harass the surrounding cities and block their reinforcements. In this way, we only need to break one of their places to defeat them.
With one arm, capture the three surrounding highlands and then encircle the center.
Yang Highland. At that time, the Liang family's army was trapped inside and unable to move. In this way, Sun Yu could take the opportunity to attack the Tongtian Mountains with all his strength. In this way, the Liang family would be defeated."
Zhe Tian said confidently.
Zhe Tian is a great master, and his subordinates are all elite soldiers. With his own strength, it is not impossible to conquer a high ground after blocking the enemy's reinforcements.
Moreover, this is exactly what Liu Xia wants to see.
"Very good, I think this plan is feasible. We will launch an attack tomorrow. Master Miaoyin Hall, please lead your people and part of my troops to harass Yunxiao Castle. Su Yunshan, lead your troops to Yunlan Castle
harass, block him
We need reinforcements. Head Wang and Elder Hunyu, on behalf of your people, go to Yundian Castle to reinforce. Zhetian, you are responsible for attacking Yunlu Castle. We have more men and horses than them, and we have sufficient supplies. If we continue to consume them, they will not be able to bear it.
It’s settled.”
Liu Xia smiled excitedly.
Dividing the troops into four groups, it is easy to be ambushed by the enemy in such hills.
"Your Highness, we are not familiar with the terrain here. If we enter here easily, we may be ambushed by the enemy."
Su Yuanshan hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and said.
"Yes, although Lord Zhetian's plan is very clever, we are too unfamiliar with the layout of the enemy's hills. If we are designed by the enemy, it will really outweigh the losses."
At this moment, another family head also suggested.
"Haha, everyone, don't worry. I have also installed a detailed plan in the Liang family. I will get the layout plan of the Liang family when I launch the attack tomorrow, so you can rest assured. Besides, we are here
War is inevitably risky. Are you afraid that the enemy will kill you just because you go home? Isn't this a joke? If you have an arrow on the string, it won't be fired. That's how it's settled."
Immediately, Liu Xia said with a smile.
When these people saw Liu Xia's expression, they naturally knew that talking more would be useless.
But it will be much easier if you can get the enemy's formation map.
Everyone had no choice but to give up and wander around the hills for a while. After encountering an enemy patrol, they retreated quietly.
