Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16443
Chapter 16441. Methods of Attack
Chang Jun chuckled. They were all old friends, so joking around was normal. Chang Jun wasn’t angry at all. He smiled and said, “I haven’t been to the front lines for too long, so I’ve been overly cautious. Okay, now that you’re all here, I’m relieved. How long do you think we need to prepare?”
Bai Yan said, “Gather the army, understand the situation here, have them exchange for magical artifacts, and familiarize themselves with them. Ten days should be enough.”
Chang Jun nodded and said, “Okay, no rush, ten days it is. But if they attack during these ten days, should we just defend and not counterattack?”
Bai Yan smiled and said, “What? Are you worried they’ll break through our defensive formation?”
Chang Jun shook his head and said, “I’m not worried about that. I just think if they attack us during these ten days, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for us to counterattack.”
Bai Yan smiled and said, “No need…” “Yes, once we’re ready, the army can just push straight through.”
Chang Jun nodded and said, “Okay, let’s do it that way then. By the way, let Xiao Ying go with you this time. That kid is good, and she’s very talented in command. Among us, you’re the strongest commander. Let her go with you; she can learn a lot.”
Bai Yan smiled and said, “Not bad. It seems Xiao Ying is really good, otherwise you wouldn’t have such a high opinion of her. Okay, let her go with me then. By the way, where’s Lao Xu? What’s he busy with?”
Chang Jun smiled and said, “He’s teaching the disciples of the sect some cavalry techniques. You know, he was the one who initially trained the alien cavalry. No one can compare to him in cavalry skills.”
Bai Yan nodded and said, “That’s true. Okay, that’s settled then. I’ll go back first. Have Xiao Ying come find me.” Chang Jun nodded, and then the group left. After they left, Chang Jun immediately sent a letter to Xu Ying, asking her to go find Bai Yan.
Xu Ying was overjoyed when he received the news. He was indeed very interested in commanding battles, and in the Blood Slaughter Sect, the best commander was probably Bai Yan. He was naturally excited to learn from Bai Yan.
Just as the Blood Slaughter Sect members began their preparations, Gongliang Juewen once again summoned everyone together. This time, he even called Wu Qian and Wen Cheng back to Wu Kong City. Wu Qian’s current position was somewhat awkward. He was the commander of the first defensive line, but the first defensive line was gone, and Wen Cheng was the commander of the second defensive line. Therefore, Wu Qian’s position on the second defensive line was quite precarious.
This time, Gongliang Juewen summoned them all back. Once everyone had arrived, he looked at them and said, “I’ve called you all here for two main reasons. First, should we launch a preemptive attack on the Blood Slaughter Sect? Second, should we establish a third line of defense? Let’s discuss this together.” Everyone was taken
aback by Gongliang Juewen’s words. They understood his meaning; he was asking whether they should attack the Blood Slaughter Sect’s first line of defense. To be honest, they had considered this, but Wen Jing had previously stated that the formation at the first line of defense was too large, making it virtually impossible for them to breach. Therefore, they hadn’t brought it up. Now that Gongliang Juewen had brought it up, they had to think about it carefully.
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Gongliang Juewen turned his gaze to Wen Jing and said, “Elder Wen, you said before that the formation at the first defensive line is a Three Talents Formation, which has weaknesses. The reason we can’t break through it is because with our current strength, we really can’t overcome those weaknesses. Can we think of another way to break through the first defensive line? Don’t worry, just say it. Even if there really isn’t a way, I won’t blame you.”
Wen Jing stood up upon hearing Gongliang Juewen’s words and said in a deep voice, “Your Majesty, these past few days since I returned to the sect, I’ve been thinking about this matter. Is it really impossible for us to break through the first defensive line? I checked some information within the sect, and finally, I actually found…” “There’s a method,” said Wen Jing, referring to a magical artifact called the “Formation-Breaking Nail.” This nail is a highly insidious magical weapon recorded in the sect’s records. It’s extremely difficult to forge, but once successfully crafted, its power is immense, capable of breaking many magical formations. Furthermore, it can be used in combination; multiple nails can be used simultaneously. “If we use multiple Formation-Breaking Nails to attack the formation at the first line of defense, it’s still possible to break it.”
Upon hearing Wen Jing’s words, Gongliang Juewen and the others’ eyes lit up. They truly hadn’t expected such a magical weapon to exist; it was indeed beyond their expectations. Just as Gongliang Juewen was about to speak, someone else said, “It’s very difficult.”
Everyone was startled upon hearing the voice. They looked in the direction of the voice and discovered it belonged to Wen Jing’s younger brother, Wen Cheng. This surprised them greatly; they hadn’t expected Wen Cheng to stand up and oppose Wen Jing’s words.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Wen Cheng stood up, bowed to Gongliang Juewen, and then said, “Your Majesty, I have something to say.” Gongliang Juewen nodded and said,
“Speak.”
Wen Cheng nodded and then said, “It’s like this. None of you have been to the front lines, so you don’t know much about the formations at the first defensive line. I observed the formations at the first defensive line before, and I discovered that they are not a simple Three Talents Formation. When they initially activated the formation, it might have been a Three Talents Formation, but what they are using now might no longer be a Three Talents Formation, but rather a kind of formation that we don’t understand at all…” “The triangular light on the protective shield of that formation is probably an illusion they created to mislead us.”
His words stunned everyone. They all looked at him, puzzled, wondering why he said that. Wen Cheng looked at them, then smiled wryly and said, “Everyone has forgotten something. Before setting up this Three Talents Formation, the Blood Slaughter Sect first occupied Wuwei City, then Giant Stone City, and finally Cave Heaven City. They used these three cities as nodes to set up the Three Talents Formation.”
Everyone nodded. That’s right, that’s exactly it. They all knew that, so what was wrong with that? Wen Cheng began, “It seems everyone has forgotten that Wuwei City and Jushi City also had formations. Before they became the Three Talents Formation, they already had their own formations, and their defensive formations were connected to the defensive formation at Qianhe Mountain. When they captured Dongtian City, Dongtian City also initially had a defensive formation, which was also connected to the defensive formation at Qianhe Mountain.” Hearing
this, everyone was taken aback, then they all understood Wen Cheng’s meaning. Gongliang Juewen asked, “You mean, the defensive formation at the first line of defense is connected to the defensive formation at Qianhe Mountain? So that defensive formation is no longer the Three Talents Formation?” Wen Cheng nodded
, then said, “Qianhe Mountain isn’t as long as the first line of defense, so theoretically, the defensive formation at Qianhe Mountain shouldn’t be able to connect with the first line… ” The defensive arrays along the defensive lines are connected, but the strange thing is that the defensive array at the first defensive line is connected to the defensive array at Thousand Lotus Mountain. General Wu can attest to this, as he saw it himself.
All eyes turned to Wu Qian. Wu Qian, seeing their expressions, nodded and said in a deep voice, “Elder Wen is right. The arrays are indeed connected. We deliberately flew very high, right above their defensive arrays, and that’s when we saw it. The defensive array at Thousand Lotus Mountain is connected to the defensive array at the first defensive line.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed. They truly hadn’t expected this. This was quite unexpected. If the defensive array at Thousand Lotus Mountain and the defensive array at the first defensive line were a single unit, then their previous judgment would have been completely wrong.
Wen Jing then spoke up, “If the defensive array at Qianhe Mountain and the defensive array at the first line of defense are truly one entity, then it’s indeed troublesome. The main reason is that we currently have no idea what kind of array they’re using.”
Everyone frowned, but Wen Cheng spoke up, “However, attacking the Blood Slaughter Sect isn’t entirely hopeless.”
Everyone looked at him, eager to hear what he would say next.
Wen Cheng said, “You all heard what I just said. General Wu and I flew very high, all the way above their defensive array, so we could see its entirety. That means their defensive array isn’t connected to the sky and the ground. In fact, their defensive array is only about a thousand meters high, and there are no defensive arrays above that. If we want to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect, we can fly over their defensive array, all the way to the territory occupied by the Blood Slaughter Sect, and then attack them directly. However, doing so is also dangerous; we would essentially be bypassing the Blood Slaughter Sect’s defenses.” “If we attack their rear directly with this large formation, we might end up attacked from both sides, which would be very dangerous.”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then their faces showed expressions of sudden realization. They had forgotten about this. No defensive formation can be completely vertical, reaching to the sky. In fact, a defensive formation is like a large bowl placed on the ground, covering a certain area. This area is under the protection of the bowl, but the height of the bowl is limited. In other words, the area above the bowl is not under the protection of the defensive formation, and they can pass through it.
