Chapter 1868: Battle of South Gate! (Part 2)
Chapter 1868 The Battle of the South Gate! (Part 2)
Two huge rocks stood in front of the Cloud Armor Soldiers, leaving them with nowhere to use their Eight-Chain Gold Formation.
In desperation, Xu Tongyu also issued an order to temporarily retreat at this time.
Listening to the fighting sounds coming from the South Gate, her brows furrowed deeply...
Xu Tongyu originally wanted to use a strong attack to not only take the commanding heights on the cliff, but also break through the South Gate in one fell swoop, but the opponent's response was far beyond her expectations.
Xie Yunliu's two swords broke the rocks, and completely changed the situation in such a short time.
And those Cloud Armor Soldiers who jumped into the South Gate became real turtles in a jar, and were caught by the opponent in one fell swoop, suffering heavy losses.
The Cloud Armor Soldiers in front of the South Gate were blocked by two huge rocks and no longer had the opportunity to take the initiative to attack.
Such a situation... made Xu Tongyu, who was on the battlefield, somewhat helpless.
The world-famous cloud armor soldiers could not even break through a small south gate, which made her furious!
However.
As a general, the most taboo is to be impatient.
Although Xu Tongyu was extremely indignant about Lin Chen's command, after these two battles, she already knew... the leadership and decision-making ability of the outsider on the opposite side was definitely not inferior to hers!
Xu Tongyu looked ahead expressionlessly, then glanced at the fiery red sun hanging above her head, and she was already retreating in her heart, ready to call off the troops.
Although there were many people on her side, and they were elite cloud armor soldiers, because they had been traveling all night, the fatigue accumulated along the way was exposed after a series of setbacks.
The art of war says: once and again, the second time is weak, and the third time is exhausted.
Since it is impossible to take down Cangjian Villa in one go, there is no need to continue to waste time here.
Pause, call off the troops, regroup, wait for morale to recover, and then fight the outsider... This is the decision a general should make!
After making up her mind, Xu Tongyu whipped her horse whip, and with a command, a strange horn sounded behind her.
This was the retreat horn used exclusively by the Xu family.
After hearing this sound, the surrounding cloud armor soldiers, although unwilling, all retreated rapidly, like the tide receding.
However.
Just when those cloud armor soldiers retreated behind Xu Tongyu, Lin Chen, who had been observing with an advanced infrared telescope, smiled faintly at this time.
"Everyone, execute the third combat plan! All Cangjian disciples, led by the elders of each hall, will launch a general attack on the enemy with the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation!
Representatives of other sects, join me in attacking from the front to contain the two sisters Xu Tongyu and Xu Tongyan!"
After receiving the order, Ye Wei immediately asked someone to send a signal... Several smoke signals were immediately lit at the highest point of Cangjian Villa. The blue-gray smoke rushed straight into the sky, allowing everyone within a radius of dozens of miles to see it clearly!
At this time, thousands of Cangjian disciples who had been ambushed at a distance a few hours ago had already seen the signal to launch a general attack!
So, they rushed out from their respective hiding places, gathered from all directions, and blocked all the ways of the Xu family's cloud armor troops!
In addition, each Cangjian disciple who rushed to the front held a special metal shield that could withstand the enemy's frontal impact.
In addition, among the Cangjian disciples in each direction, there was a group of disciples holding fire crossbows, ready to fight!
After hearing about the deeds of the cloud armor soldiers, Lin Chen discussed with Gong Xinyu and others.
In the end, they all came to the same conclusion: cloud armor soldiers are very afraid of fire attacks!
Although the "cloud armor" they wear has many functions and is invulnerable to swords and guns, it is made of plants and cannot withstand the fierce fire attack.
As long as you keep a distance from them, you can not only avoid their powerful frontal assault capabilities, but also use fire attacks to contain the opponent... This is the real strategy that Lin Chen came up with overnight to deal with the cloud armor soldiers!
After the first two games with Xu Tongyu, Lin Chen knew that she must have the intention to retreat.
Our side is waiting for the opponent to tire, and a full-scale attack at this time will definitely catch the opponent off guard!
In addition, the disciples of Cangjian are very familiar with the surrounding terrain, and they know clearly where to hide people and where to avoid the enemy's sight.
Before dawn, they had quietly arrived at the designated location for ambush according to Lin Chen's deployment. Afterwards, they only need to rush out after seeing the wolf smoke signal, and they will definitely be able to surround the enemy!
Moreover, Lin Chen deliberately showed weakness in the confrontation with Xu Tongyu, which gave her the illusion that he could immediately break through the south gate of Cangjian Villa.
Because of this, Xu Tongyu launched two consecutive surprise attacks, which not only injured his own cloud armor soldiers, but also made them more exhausted.
Lin Chen did his best in this battle with his intentions!
When countless dust and smoke appeared in all directions, Xu Tongyu's brows were already gathered together.
This was the first time she fell into such a passive situation on the battlefield.
Looking at those Cangjian disciples with high morale, who soon entered her sight, Xu Tongyu's face also showed beads of sweat as big as beans.
In the battles she participated in in the past, she had never been forced to such a point!
She thought that a small Cangjian Villa, although there were thousands of disciples, was a mob and could not be compared with the well-trained cloud armor soldiers.
In addition, the commander on the other side was just an outsider who had just taken office in the chaos and was still unfamiliar with everything in the ultimate world.
Before the battle, she was full of confidence. But at this moment, she already knew... If she didn't retreat, she might fall into a terrible situation of annihilation!
And the scene in front of her completely changed her view of Lin Chen!
Her brows gradually relaxed, and her emotions slowly calmed down. Moreover, a mysterious and indifferent smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
At this time, her calm voice was also heard by every cloud armor soldier!
"The front army will be the rear army, and the rear army will be the front army. Retreat to the rear with all your strength immediately!
The central army is divided into two teams, feinting to attack the southwest and southeast to buy time for the main force to retreat!"
With an order, Xu Tongyu waved to her sister not far away, and let Xu Tongyan come to her.
"Tong Yan, there are many experts in the enemy's formation. Although almost no one can match you in a one-on-one fight, at this moment, covering the retreat of the Yunjia troops is the top priority.
Your responsibility is to stop those experts, but remember one thing... Don't fight for a long time!
When I and the Yunjia troops break out of the encirclement, you will leave immediately!"
