Chapter 773 Line of Defense
Speaking of the death of True Lord Xu Haoran after his lifespan expired, Elder Beast Fury, who also had a short lifespan, felt very sad, and his face could not help but reveal the look of sadness as if a rabbit had died or a fox had died.
True Lord Xu Haoran passed away at this time, and the only True Lord of the Soul in the Huanglian Sect was the saint Xu Mengying. All the pressures faced by the Huanglian Sect were overwhelming her.
I don't know if she, a female generation, can support this Yuanshen sect that has been passed down for two thousand years.
Not long after Elder Beast Wrath led Meng Zhang into the Huanglian Sect's main altar, he met the saint Xu Mengying who had been waiting here for a long time.
Xu Mengying is dressed in mourning clothes and her face is a bit haggard. However, she is full of energy and energy.
Jade Sword Sect has always done things in a grand manner. After a large number of monks settled here, at least on the surface they still respected Xu Mengying, the landlord.
Of course, Xu Mengying actually has no involvement in many things.
How to arrange defense, how to deploy manpower, how to arrange troops and generals, etc. are all left to the Jade Sword Sect.
Xu Mengying became a housekeeper, responsible for some chores.
Xu Mengying has no opinion on this.
She took the initiative to join the Jade Sword Sect and attracted the monks from the Jade Sword Sect to station at the mountain gate. As long as the Jade Sword Sect could not be defeated in this battle, the Jade Sword Sect would not treat her badly no matter what.
Seeing Xu Mengying approaching, Elder Beast Fury knew that she and Meng Zhang had a close friendship and seemed to have fought side by side.
After chatting for a few words, Elder Beast Fury found an excuse and slipped away, leaving the two of them behind.
Xu Mengying talked about serious matters except for a few household remarks.
She introduced the general arrangements of the Jade Sword Sect to Meng Zhang.
The Jade Sword Sect knew that its own strength was far inferior to that of the Dali Dynasty, so it adopted a defensive counterattack strategy.
The Jade Sword Gate takes the Huanglian Sect General Altar as its core and deploys defenses along the Huanglian Sacred Mountain.
On a wide front that is thousands of miles away, a large number of magic circles and temporary buildings are stationed with a large number of monks, forming an indestructible line of defense.
The Jade Sword Sect led the Jiuqu League monks to defend this line of defense, waiting for the Dali Dynasty to attack.
If you don't understand the rules of the world of cultivation, you may feel strange.
The people of the Dali Dynasty are not fools, so why do they want to run into the enemy's tightly laid defense line? Don't they know how to take other measures?
In the world of cultivation, many wars have broken out. These wars of different sizes all have certain rules.
Generally speaking, if the Jade Sword Sect sets up such a formation, the Dali Dynasty will actively respond to the challenge.
Even though the Dali Dynasty may have adopted some strategies to avoid a big battle here, in the end, it was still inevitable that they would have to fight against the Jade Sword Sect.
The strength of the Jade Sword Sect is not as good as that of the Dali Dynasty, but it can also easily recruit ten or twenty True Lords of Yuanshen.
If these True Lords of Yuanshen gave up everything and went to the territory of the Dali Dynasty, they would lose face and not engage in head-on combat with the monks of the Dali Dynasty, but would instead engage in guerrilla warfare, unrestricted warfare and the like.
Kill a city today, destroy a mine tomorrow, blow up a spiritual vein the day after tomorrow...
It doesn't take long for the territory of the Dali Dynasty to be turned upside down. Even if the Dali Dynasty finally annihilates or drives out the enemy, it will suffer irreparable losses.
But in reality, in a battle between human monks, no matter whether it is the disadvantaged or the stronger side, they will not use such tactics.
What determines the outcome of both sides is often one or several head-on battles.
Even if a raiding team is sent to the enemy's rear, the scale is usually small and mainly composed of small groups of monks.
There seems to be no one supervising it, but this is an unspoken rule that has been circulating in the world of cultivation for many years.
The larger the scale of the battle, the less likely someone will break the rules, and the stricter the enforcement in this regard.
The Dali Dynasty, which already had the upper hand, faced the defensive line set up by the Jade Sword Gate, and naturally refused to give in and pushed forward.
During the battle, the Dali Dynasty may adopt some strategies, such as attacking in the east and attacking in the west, outflanking and making detours, etc. But no matter what, a frontal battle is absolutely unavoidable.
On this line of defense, all the remaining forces of the Jiuqu Alliance are now gathered.
At the same time, the Jade Sword Sect is still squeezing its potential and desperately sending monks here.
This battle is of great importance, related to the future of the Jade Sword Sect and all the forces of the Jiuqu Alliance.
If the defense line collapses and this battle is defeated, the entire Jiuqu Alliance will no longer have the strength to resist the Dali Dynasty.
At that time, the only option is to surrender or run for your life.
When Xu Mengying introduced her own situation, she also did not forget to introduce the strength of the Dali Dynasty.
Meng Zhang knew that the Dali Dynasty was very powerful, with as many strong men as the clouds, and a mighty army. However, he knew only a limited amount about the specific details.
Now listening to Xu Mengying's introduction, his face became more and more livid. The strength of the Dali Dynasty must have been too strong.
He knows very well the strength of the Jiuqu Alliance. Even if there is some hidden strength, it is limited.
Facing the powerful Dali Dynasty, how long can the Jiuqu Alliance resist?
An impulse suddenly arose in Meng Zhang's heart, and he wanted to leave everything here and run away quickly to avoid encountering the powerful army of the Dali Dynasty.
He suppressed the impulse in his heart and cast a questioning look at Xu Mengying.
Since Xu Mengying and the True Lords of Yuanshen who came here first knew the balance of power between the enemy and ourselves, they must have something to rely on if they wanted to stay and fight to the death.
Thinking back to the past, I seemed to have heard from other Yuanshen True Lords that they had revealed that the Jade Sword Sect was still very confident.
Xu Mengying did not answer Meng Zhang's question directly, but deliberately placed a veil on it.
After Meng Zhang arrived at Huanglian Holy Mountain, he was going to meet with the senior officials of the Jade Sword Sect and accept the mission of his family and the Taiyi Sect.
Now, Xu Mengying is going to lead Meng Zhang to meet the head of the Jade Sword Sect, True Lord Jade Sword.
By that time, all his questions will be answered.
True Lord Jade Sword, as the head of the Jade Sword Sect, became the new leader of the Jiuqu Alliance after receiving the support of True Lord Qingfeng.
After arriving at Huanglian Holy Mountain, although the deputy head of the general affairs of the Jade Sword Sect helped him handle various chores, there were still many things to do, and there were too many important tasks that needed to be handled by him personally.
Under this circumstance, he still took time out of his busy schedule to meet every Yuanshen True Lord who arrived here and have a simple conversation with them.
Xu Mengying led Meng Zhang around in a large circle among the magnificent buildings of the Huanglian Sect General Altar before arriving at a tall and majestic hall.
This was originally the main hall of the Huanglian Sect, where the leader and the elders of the sect discussed important matters.
Now this place has been temporarily requisitioned by the Jade Sword Sect and has become the temporary residence of True Lord Jade Sword.
Outside the main hall, in the sky and on the ground, there are a group of sword cultivators wearing white robes, either patrolling back and forth or guarding there.
This is the most elite team of the Jade Sword Sect - the Jade Sword Guards, composed of the most elite sword cultivators in the sect.
