() At this moment, Liu Xia saw a large army of the Liang family appearing on the two highlands outside Yunlu Fort.
They were like a torrent, pouring down from the high ground and charging towards Yunlu Castle.
At this moment, most of the Holy Cult army was trapped in Yunlu Fort, and there were also many people in the outer barriers clearing the battlefield.
There were five thousand people in the Liang family. In less than a quarter of an hour, they had reached the foot of the hills of Yunlu Castle.
Immediately, a fierce attack was launched on Yunlu Fort.
Having just captured Yunlu Castle's Zhetian, he saw this scene on the tower of Yunlu Castle and immediately shouted: "Order the troops to enter Yunlu Castle immediately."
Along with the flags on the high ground, Liu Xia saw that the army on the periphery was evacuating towards Yunlu Fort.
This plays into the man's heart.
The Liang family's army is not trying to recapture Yunlu Fort, but to trap them in Yunlu Fort.
This is their real purpose.
General Zhe Tian relied on the barriers of Yunlu Fort to resist the opponent's army attack, and undoubtedly entered the enemy's encirclement.
If Zhetian orders people to break through at this moment, perhaps there will be a turning point in this battle.
However, Zhetian did not do this.
He believed that as long as the Liang family could not capture Yunlu Fort, reinforcements from other Holy Religion armies would soon follow.
When the time comes, the inside should be coordinated with the outside, and these men and horses will be eaten in one fell swoop. He will cover the sky and achieve great success.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Zhou Ruishan asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, call the nearest Su family army for help right away. They should arrive within three hours. As long as we survive three hours, we will surround them. When the time comes, we must cooperate inside and outside. This group of Liang family members will not be able to escape.
.”
Liu Xia said calmly.
"promise!"
Zhou Ruishan immediately ran away and immediately ordered someone to deliver orders to the Su family.
Liu Xia looked at Zhou Ruishan's back and sighed softly.
Liang Yixuan thought carefully and knew Zhe Tian very well. He guessed the weakness of Zhe Tian's Haodaxi Gong, so he came up with this method to deal with Zhe Tian.
If Liu Xia were Liang Yixuan, he would not let the Su family come for reinforcements.
I am afraid that at this moment, the Su family is also trapped in a bitter battle and cannot escape at all.
Of course, even if the Su family sends reinforcements at the fastest speed, Su Yuanshan's vanguard will still need at least two hours.
In these two hours, enough troops to cover the sky were destroyed here.
Sure enough, the Liang family's army surrounded the hills and highlands, and they just sent a group of troops to pretend to attack Yunlu Fort.
Most of the troops were stationed behind the barrier, preparing to block Zhetian's breakout.
At this moment, Liu Xi saw patches of spiritual practice appearing at the foot of the hills.
There were actually as many as two thousand people.
Seeing this, even though Liu Xia was calm, he took a breath of cold air.
More than 2,000 spiritual practitioners immediately began to set up the Heaven-Destroying Formation. At this moment, Zhetian on the city wall was still trying to defend Yunlu Castle and did not see the actions of those spiritual practitioners at all.
In this battle, Zhe Tian will definitely lose.
When Liu Xia saw this, he sighed softly and closed his eyes leisurely.
Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, the sky in Yunlu Castle was covered with dark clouds, turning day into night in an instant.
The attack power of the spiritual practice of more than two thousand people is no joke.
At this moment, Zhe Tian realized his situation, jumped up to the high ground, glanced down, and suddenly froze there.
"Break through the encirclement, send the order, break out of the encirclement immediately!"
Zhe Tian stood on the city wall and said with hysterical anger.
The elders who suddenly heard the order were startled and looked towards the bottom of the city wall.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Suddenly, the holy army in Yunlu Castle began to pour out from the city gate and began to break through.
However, they encountered desperate resistance from the Liang Jiajun.
Looking at the brutal fighting on the top of the mountain, Liu Xia knew that Zhetian had lost.
At this time, hundreds of golden cracks appeared in the sky above the entire Yunlu Castle.
Suddenly, a strong wind howled and the surrounding area was plunged into darkness.
"call!"
The first fireball soared into the sky and crashed into Yunlu Castle with a loud bang.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of huge fireballs, like meteors, dragged the tail of the flames and crashed into Yunlu Castle.
In an instant, mushroom clouds rose up inside Yunlu Castle, and flames soared into the sky.
Immediately, screams erupted one after another in Yunlu Castle, and were soon drowned out by the explosions.
Liu Xia stood and looked from a distance. The fireballs in the sky were as dense as rain. It was estimated that not many of the troops covering the sky could survive the explosion.
Even if he survives, he may not be able to break out of the encirclement.
Under the fierce bombardment, only some of the masters broke out.
Most of the soldiers have been annihilated by the Heaven-Destroying Formation.
The level of cruelty is outrageous.
Zhe Tian led less than 800 people to break out from Yunlu Fort. They luckily escaped the impact of the Heaven-Destroying Formation and immediately met the Liang family defenders on the hillside.
With more than 5,000 people fighting against 800 people, most of whom were wounded, the entire army was almost destroyed.
Zhe Tian's eyes were red with blood, and he was killing everyone within the Liang family's army.
However, with his own strength, when can he kill all five thousand people?
Under the leadership of Zhe Tian, the more than 800 people could not hold on for half an hour before the entire army was destroyed.
Zhe Tian led several elders to break out of the encirclement, and after reuniting with Liu Xia, they evacuated towards the outside of Duanshui Hills.
On the way, they also encountered a small group of Liang family defenders who harassed and pursued them.
It took a lot of effort to break out of the Duanshui Hills. After returning to Wuxi Town, the sky covered the sky like an eggplant beaten by frost, completely withered.
Liu Xia quickly sent an order, ordering the holy army to evacuate from the Duanshui Hills.
It was not until the early morning of the next day that the last Zhang family army evacuated from the Duanshui Hills. Every one of those soldiers was disgraced.
Obviously, it was harassed and besieged by the enemy.
Not only them, the people of the Su family, Ouyang family, Hunyu, and Miaoyin also suffered tragic losses.
At noon, in the meeting hall, these family heads and hall masters all bowed their heads and remained silent.
The expression on his face was heavier than visiting a grave.
Liu Xia held yesterday's battle report in his hand. From entering the Duanshui Hills to coming out of the Duanshui Hills, there were more than 10,000 casualties.
Especially the Zhetian tribe, almost the entire army was destroyed.
The only ones who escaped were Zhe Tian and a few great elders, and the rest were all wiped out by the Liang family's army.
Yesterday, the Liang family's army lost no more than 3,000 people. In this battle, they won a complete victory.
"Everyone, Duanshui Hills is the main position of the Liang family. In the fierce battle yesterday, you all suffered heavy losses. Do you have any strategies to defeat the enemy?"
Liu Xia took a sip of tea, raised her head and asked.
"Your Highness, my subordinates believe that if we want to capture the Liang family, we must mobilize all the troops in the Duanshui Hills and fight the Liang family to the death. There may be a chance of winning. Otherwise, if we continue like this, we will be eaten by the opponent sooner or later."
Miaoyin immediately clasped her fists and said.
"Well, that's right. We have to hit all the troops, attack a fortress, and then order people to attack everywhere. In this way, we may be able to capture the Duanshui Hills."
Suddenly, Su Yuanshan also clasped his fists and said.
"The Sun family's army has arrived at the Tongtian Mountains. It will launch an attack tomorrow. What we have to do now is not to take down the Duanshui Hills, but to make a feint attack and attract the enemy's firepower."
Liu Xia said firmly.
"Your Highness, I think this method is inappropriate. If the Sun family cannot attack for a long time, we will suffer heavy losses, and it is very likely that the Liang family will counterattack. Then we will be completely defeated."
At this moment, Miaoyin hurriedly objected.
Liu Xia looked at Miaoyin and smiled lightly.
"Master Miaoyin Hall, you seem to have doubts about His Highness's decision-making."
"I don't dare. I just think it's not appropriate to divide our troops at this moment."
"Your Highness, I also think that it is really inappropriate to divide our troops at this moment."
Immediately, several families also clasped their fists and said.
Liu Xia looked at the people below, all of them were filled with indignation, as if they wanted to eat Liu Xia, they were all obviously very angry.
However, Liu Xia didn't think so.
He stood up slowly and looked at everyone in the hall, with a contemptuous sneer on his lips.
"I know what you are thinking. It is just to bring everyone together and share the losses equally. Don't think that I don't know the little calculations in your hearts. If you really contribute to my Holy Religion, how can you calculate the losses?
"Forget it, it's useless to count on you losers. I'm scared out of my wits just by looking at a hill with no water. Aren't all of you bragging? How come you are so powerful? Why are you so weak now?"
When everyone heard this, they felt even more angry.
He was just afraid of Liu Xia's identity and didn't dare to have an attack.
Liu Xia originally wanted to provoke them and set a trap for them, so he had already made plans.
Sure enough, the head of the Zhang family stood up and said: "Your Highness, the hills of Duanshui are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Liang family has been in business for many years, and it is our people who are bleeding and fighting. Your Highness can only stand here and make sarcastic remarks. What does it mean?"
"
"How dare you, Zhang Suilu, dare to talk to His Highness like this?"
At this time, Miaoyin was suddenly startled and stood up to drink quickly.
"That's all, you are said to be a loser, but you still don't accept it. In this case, Mr. Zhang, why don't we make a bet?"
Liu Xia looked at Zhang Suilu and said with a smile.
"I wonder what your highness wants to bet on?"
Zhang Suilu said angrily.
"Simple, I will take the remaining 2,000 people from Wenshuitang tomorrow to attack Yunlu Fort. If I capture it, do you, the Zhang family, dare to reinforce it with 10,000 people?"
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
Zhang Suilu was suddenly shocked. All the seven thousand people who covered the sky were wiped out. How could Liu Xia's only two thousand people succeed?
He immediately stood up and said, "Okay, but what if you lose?"
"Haha, if I lose, I will cut off one of my arms. Disband the army immediately and return to my altar."
As soon as Liu Xia finished speaking, the whole hall was in an uproar.
This is no joke.
"Your Highness, please think twice."
Immediately, Elder Hunyu took a breath and said.
"A gentleman's words are as fast as his horse's whip. I, Wang Xiao, always say the same thing. Head of the Su family, your Su family is known as the second in the northwest, but this time it only sent 20,000 troops. And the head of the Ouyang family, your Ouyang family is also the same
Despite his reputation, Quezhi sent 7,000 men. I don’t know what the two family heads meant. Why don’t you join the bet? If I win, the Su family will increase its troops by 15,000, and the Ouyang family will increase its troops by 7,000. How about that?
?”
Liu Xia smiled disdainfully.
Su Yuanshan and Ouyang Tian glanced at each other.
For the Su family, thirty-five thousand people are already all their elites. The same is true for the Ouyang family.
Liu Xia obviously wanted to use provocation.
However, Liu Xia's attempt to capture Yunlu Fort with only two thousand men was a fool's errand.
Now that the war has begun, these family heads all feel that the Holy Sect has no chance of winning this time.
Moreover, Liu Xia sent the Sun family out to attack the Tongtian Mountains.
It was impossible to capture the Duanshui Hills, and the final result was to let nothing go.
Instead, we have to worry about the Liang family's counterattack.
If the troops can be withdrawn now, perhaps things can be eased with the Liang family in the future, and naturally everyone will be very happy.
"Your Highness, I, Mr. Su, made a bet."
"I also bet.
Ouyang Tian also stood up and said.
"Okay, it's a deal, give me three days. If I can't capture Yunlu Castle, I will lose. But if I win, don't break your promise."
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
"A gentleman's word is as fast as his horse's whip. I will never break my promise."
