Chapter 263
Expeditionary Army Headquarters.
Inside the Commander's Tent.
Amara's face was ashen. Their attack today had failed again.
They lost more than 10,000 people, although not as many as yesterday, but more than 100 cultivators were lost.
"Your Highness, there are cultivators in Pingyuan City. I think we must find a way to take Pingyuan City in one go, otherwise, there may be more accidents."
At this time, a general put forward his own opinion.
"Your Highness, this is probably not an easy thing."
Another general said.
This time they sent cultivators to destroy the catapults and crossbow carts in Pingyuan City.
As a result, although several crossbow carts were destroyed, the hundreds of cultivators they sent were all wiped out.
Moreover, they instinctively believed that Pingyuan City must have some cards that they didn't know about.
Amara listened to them calmly.
After they finished speaking, he looked at Lu Lu and asked, "Master Lu, what do you think?"
"Hehe, although we lost again today, we have also gained something."
"I wonder what Master Lu means by this?"
"It's very simple. Pingyuan City's strength is just so-so." Lu Lu looked down on humans.
In his opinion, no matter how these mortals resisted themselves, they would not be as strong as when he took action.
"If I guess correctly, they should only have strong men in the Jindan realm."
"However, just in case, I can send someone to investigate the situation in Pingyuan City in person. Pingyuan City is not a big deal."
Even though they had lost several times, Lu Lu still looked down on mortal cities and was very arrogant.
"Okay, that's great." Amara was delighted when she heard it.
Speaking of which, they had been blindly attacking Pingyuan City from the beginning.
Thinking about it now, they all regretted it.
For this, they also lost tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of immortal cultivators.
Although these troops were not many, and some of them were slaves, it was not a pity to die, but this was undoubtedly a slap in their faces.
He now wanted to know what kind of power was hidden in Pingyuan City.
In addition, he was also thinking about a plan, which was the possibility of beheading.
However, after hearing Lu Lu say that he was going to investigate Pingyuan City, he decided to wait until Lu Lu completed the investigation.
"Master Lu, then the investigation of Pingyuan City will be handed over to you."
"No problem, Your Highness."
Lu Lu nodded, then stood up and left the commander's tent.
He was going to arrange manpower and investigate Pingyuan City, and even if necessary, he could come out in person.
At this time, Pingyuan City was over because the battle was over, and Zhao Chong began to count the losses.
"General, we died more than 1,500 people in this battle, more than 4,000 casualties, 5 immortal cultivators died, and 18 were injured."
Zhao Chong listened to the loss report and frowned slightly.
"It seems that our casualties are almost 1:2 to the enemy's casualties. This result is not good." Zhao Chong was very dissatisfied.
"General, in fact, we don't have such high casualties. It's mainly because the enemy's immortal cultivators came up to kill us that our casualties increased." The deputy general on the side said hurriedly.
This also made Zhao Chong see the horror of immortal cultivators again.
"Well." Zhao Chong looked at Master Luo and asked, "Master Luo, what do you think will happen next?"
"The enemy suddenly stopped attacking this time. I expect the enemy to prepare for a more fierce attack."
"Although they have lost several games now, from a practical point of view, they are not to the point where you can break your bones."
"If General Zhao doesn't have a better way, I suggest you start asking for help."
Master Luo's words made Zhao Chong nod.
At the same time, he thought in his heart: "If Master Luo can think of this, then the cultivators on the opposite side will certainly think of this."
"It seems that I can't underestimate their strength, nor their IQ." Zhao Chong thought in his heart.
If it were in the past, Zhao Chong was actually not convinced by the cultivators.
In his opinion, the cultivators have high martial arts value and like to use fists to solve problems.
But mortals have intelligence, and mortals can use intelligence to defeat these cultivators.
However, Master Luo's words made him dare not despise these cultivators anymore.
However, Zhao Chong's current means have not been exhausted, so he did not ask for help immediately.
"Okay, I already know about this."
Next, Zhao Chong thought of a series of possibilities.
Now, the enemy's next attack method is nothing more than two.
The first is to attack again, press more troops, stronger combat power, and strive to break through Pingyuan City in one fell swoop.
However, after seeing the catapults and crossbow cartsAfter the power of the enemy, the possibility that they will use this point will be lower.
Because in this way, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses, which will be unfavorable for their next attack on Guangyuan City, not to mention the other cities in Nanlong.
Therefore, in Zhao Chong's opinion, the possibility will be relatively low.
The second is the intelligence war. They may stop the attack and find out the strength of Pingyuan City before taking action.
In Zhao Chong's opinion, this possibility is extremely high.
Since the implementation of the household registration system two months ago, the spies in Pingyuan City can be said to have been cleared out.
Therefore, the expeditionary force launched the war this time without understanding the strength of Pingyuan City.
And in their several actions, he could also judge.
That is, the expeditionary force knows very little about their Pingyuan City.
Therefore, the next reconnaissance of Pingyuan City may become their key task.
"They should be very likely to come to investigate, and they may even behead me. It seems that it is necessary to activate the formation next."
In fact, whether it is a strong attack or an investigation, it is not good for Pingyuan City.
After thinking about it, Zhao Chong decided to use the Xuantian Shield Formation first.
Moreover, opening the Xuantian Shield Formation can not only prevent them from entering, but also allow them to launch a larger-scale attack to try to break the Xuantian Shield Formation.
In this way, their artillery can also be used.
In this way, Zhao Chong has already made up his mind. After discussing with the generals, he did not waste any more time and immediately ordered all departments to be prepared for defense.
And he activated the Xuantian Shield Formation.
After seeing that everyone had left, Zhao Chong took out the Pingyuan City Order and activated the Xuantian Shield Formation with his mind.
Because he had already dripped blood to recognize the master, now to activate the Xuantian Shield Formation, only one thought is enough.
As his thought fell, the entire Xuantian Shield Formation was also activated at this time.
"Buzz."
At this time, twelve bright lights suddenly appeared in the city, rising into the sky, and then turned into a curtain, covering the entire Pingyuan City.
At this time, Lu Lu was preparing to sneak into Pingyuan City with some immortal cultivators, and suddenly saw the changes in Pingyuan City.
He couldn't help but be stunned at first, and then, he was shocked.
"Formation?"
"How is it possible?"
Lu Lu looked at everything in front of him in shock. They never thought that they would see a protective formation in a city.
And it was a large protective formation.
With the appearance of this formation, these immortal cultivators who originally wanted to sneak in suddenly lost their chance.
"Damn it, we didn't attack, why did they open the formation?"
At this time, Lu Lu was very angry.
He originally wanted to investigate Pingyuan City, and he also looked down on these mortals.
But now, he only felt his face burning.
Because he was slapped in the face.
"Let's go back."
After the Xuantian Shield Formation appeared, they had no chance to enter Pingyuan City. Instead of wasting time outside, it was better to go back and tell them what happened.
Lu Lu quickly returned to the expeditionary base camp.
He met Amara.
Amara was very surprised to see him come back so soon.
"Master Lu, you are back so soon?"
"Well, Your Highness, there is a problem in Pingyuan City."
"Oh? What's the problem?" Amara's heart tightened, and she prayed secretly, hoping that it was a good thing.
The result...
"Pingyuan City has activated the protective formation." Lu Lu's face was ashen.
"Ah?"
Amara was a little confused.
"What is a protective formation?"
Lu Lu saw that he didn't know, but thinking that the other party was a mortal, he was relieved and said: "Protective formations are generally only owned by large sects, and they must be powerful sects."
"General sects can't afford it, mainly because it consumes too much energy and the cost is extremely high."
"But its function is also very obvious, that is, it can defend against other people's attacks and prevent others from sneaking into it."
Lu Lu told Amara about the situation, that is, they didn't want to go to Pingyuan City, but they were blocked by the formation, and they couldn't enter Pingyuan City now.
After listening to the general situation, Amara was also a little shocked.
"I didn't expect there would be such a formation. Is there a way to break it?" Amara asked anxiously.
If it is so awesome, then Pingyuan City is still a fart?
"Yes, although the protective formation is powerful, it is not invincible. If it is outside, we can either wait for its energy to run out, and it will automatically shut down."
"We can also use force to break its defense and cause the formation to collapse."
"If it is inside, we can destroy its center of the formation,Or close the formation. "
Lu Lu said several methods, but for the expeditionary army, only the two external methods are suitable for them.
That is to say, either wait or attack.
"We will pay a lot of price for attacking, right?" Amara didn't want to do it.
If he wanted to use a strong attack regardless of casualties, he would have used it long ago.
"In fact, we can't afford to wait." Lu Lu sighed.
After all, the daily consumption of millions of troops is extremely huge and amazing.
"I know." Amara instantly found that he had fallen into a passive position.
And Lu Lu cursed in his heart, a small human city, actually had a devilish protective formation.
It made him blow his boast, but no one knew that Pingyuan City was so rich.
