Cultivation starts with time management

He quickly scanned the outside of the city, and sure enough, he found that the siege positions in the south, east, and north directions were all outputting firepower in the direction of the city.

Among them, the southern positions had to be wary of the surprise attacks from Qin Sitong and Kong Ping, so they obviously had some reservations in terms of offense, while the northern and eastern positions were so unrestrained that they hardly had any reservations.

Long Long found a safe position, lay down comfortably on his stomach and observed for a while, and roughly estimated that the offensive and defensive strength was between equals, and it was difficult to tell the winner in a short time.

Of course, the supply in the city was completely cut off, but the consumption of the siege position could be replenished from Zhongzhou, so Yuanjiang City would definitely lose in the end of the storm.

Then why is the White Tiger God going to play the trick of attacking from time to time?

Long Long thought for a moment, and felt that it should be to save costs.

Of course war costs money.Judging from the current offensive brilliance in the air, they are basically magic weapons or formations, and there are very few supernatural spells from the monks themselves.

Magical treasures and formations are all driven by real yuan, crystal stones, and money!Looking at the uninterrupted flickering brilliance above the head, it can be seen that countless money is passing by every moment.

If it takes [-] tons of crystals to directly attack until the city is broken, and use irregular attacks to consume the morale of the defenders, and only [-] tons of crystals can solve the problem, the White Tiger God will definitely choose the latter.

In Long Long's view, how to save war expenses as much as possible, the White Tiger God will definitely know this well.

In this way, if I save everyone and cause all the war costs I have invested to be in vain, wouldn't the White Tiger God General be mad?

In this way, it is not too early to let the opponent consume more ammunition.

"Hey, don't play it off!" Long Long finally couldn't stand the Kunlun Mirror because of his bitch level, and reminded him, "The opponent is a fairy monster! Even if you win a battle of wits by chance, he will move I'll kill you with a finger!"

"Isn't it because of you and Su Ming?" Long Long said that at worst, I would transform into the Taiyin Sword Master, and I was afraid that this little ancestor of the monster clan would fail?

"Long Long doesn't pretend anymore? The fox doesn't want it anymore?" Kunlun Mirror used two consecutive strikes, and it was a critical strike. As expected, Long Long was speechless and could only hum to express his dissatisfaction.

On the other side, the siege battle finally came to an end.

A large amount of data was summarized by the frontline teams, such as which barrier showed signs of weakening when it was attacked, and where and when the counterattack was launched, all of which were clearly marked and summarized in Lu Yan's hands.

Qi Yingzhu watched with admiration from the side.Now she also knows how important intelligence is to war, and even more so, how difficult it is to extract useful clues from so much data.

"The data is wrong." Lu Yan said suddenly.

Chapter 50 Serial Array Diagram

Something wrong with the data?

Qi Yingzhu leaned over to look, but in this world there is neither excel nor any form rules, a lot of data are crowded together in the form of pure text.The little tiger felt dizzy just by looking at it, not to mention seeing something wrong.

Seeing her confused expression, Lu Yan drew a circle on a certain data.

Then there was another one... just drew a dozen or so circles like this, and put down the pen without saying a word.

Qi Yingzhu understood immediately, and took this data and the previous data to compare the figures circled by the master.

Sure enough, such a comparison revealed the problem.

If it is a war between mortals, the number of people will be reduced by one-third at once, which can be clearly seen from the number, so the military strategists have derived many corresponding strategies, such as doubling the stove, adding clothes to the straw man, Tie the branches to the tail of the horse and sweep them around to create the momentum of thousands of troops and so on.

Because monks rely on magic weapons and formations for their attack methods, it is not easy to judge the number of monks intuitively.

A high-level monk with a higher level of cultivation may be as powerful as two, three, four, five low-level monks, or even more.It is almost impossible to judge the number of people only by the effect of spells.

But the data drawn by Lu Yan is the "recovery speed of the war formation" that few people pay attention to.

Although the battle formation is easy to manipulate, it is still a formation after all. In addition to requiring resources to maintain consumption, someone must manipulate the formation to preside over it.

A spell hits a certain position of the formation and consumes the energy there, so resources must be extracted quickly to repair it.Under the condition that the per capita attainments in the formation are average, the more people come to maintain the formation, the faster the recovery speed of the formation will be.

Qi Yingzhu compared the data carefully, and then realized that inferring from this point, then in today's siege battle, the number of monks in the city responsible for maintaining the defensive formation has dropped significantly.

It was only because of the enhanced resource consumption and formation output that there was no obvious decline.

So here comes the question: Why are there fewer city-defending monks?

From a positive point of view, it may be that these monks have completely lost their fighting spirit under the master's offensive plan, and they do not intend to resist in the corner.

Guessing from a bad angle, will these monks already...

"It's hard to say." After listening to Qi Yingzhu's guess, Lu Yan shook his head and said, "But the possibility that they have escaped from the encirclement cannot be ruled out."

"I checked the intelligence department's information." Qi Yingzhu continued, "If hundreds of monks evacuate from the original Jiangcheng, it is impossible not to leave any clues."

"In this world, there are ways to escape without leaving traces." Lu Yan said leisurely, "such as teleportation."

"Master." Qi Yingzhu said speechlessly, "If the Dragon Clan or the Feather Clan have mastered the method of collective teleportation, they won't just use it to rescue the defenders of the original Jiangcheng!"

"As long as we send secret agents to infiltrate Zhongzhou and Xizhou, find a place where there is no one to set up formations, and then a lot of monks from the Dragon and Feather clans will be heard, then we will directly catch fire in the backyard! It is impossible to send people Do you want to guard every inch of land?"

"Is there such a possibility?" Lu Yan fell into deep thought, while Qi Yingzhu's face suddenly turned pale.

Even the master can't deny this possibility, so it must have been guessed by me, right?

Of course, doubting such a possibility is just a habit of Lu Yan as a general: avoid missing any details.

But in the absence of any evidence, if you really want to take it as a fact to prevent it, it would be too much.

Although the Mao people in Xizhou called him the White Tiger God General, Lu Yan knew that he was still far from the god level of "victorious in all battles".

Cultivator wars are no different from ordinary ones. There are all kinds of strange things that you have never heard of before, but there are too many magical things that can turn things around in an instant.

It's like the battle between the monster race and the human race in ancient times. The former clearly had the upper hand, but the latter suddenly turned into two immortal soldiers, the sun and the sun, and killed all the monsters with heads rolling and blood flowing into rivers...

Thinking of those two immortal weapons, Lu Yan couldn't help but sighed, more and more lamenting the insignificance of manpower under the destiny.

If the other party really mastered the group teleportation formation, as Qi Yingzhu said, then the alliance camp in the Central and Western States would immediately be in danger of being defeated and overthrown.

You are attacking the city and plundering land in front, and the other party sends a few ancestors to your door to change your house, so how can you fight?

Although there is no evidence at present, it is not impossible to make a plan in your spare time... So Lu Yan thought about how to deal with this kind of teleportation formation, and at the same time arranged it smoothly, asking the teams to strengthen the siege, no longer Spare the cost.

A formation that can teleport so many people at once will definitely leave traces in the city.The sooner the Yuanjiang City is broken, the sooner this can be confirmed.

In addition, apart from the space-type movement method of collective transmission, other possibilities also need to be ruled out one by one.

Borrowing rivers and rivers to escape?Borrow the underground earth to escape?Use the illusion to hide in groups, and then find a secret route on the battlefield to sneak out?These are not something ordinary monks can do.But now that the whereabouts of those people can't be found, we can only confirm as much as possible.

The next day, as soon as the defenders of the original Jiangcheng received the donated materials, they were horrified to find that the siege outside today was not as fierce as usual: it seemed that there was an aura of swearing not to stop until the city was destroyed.

Lou Ming hurriedly flew back to the city guard's mansion, and urgently reported to Long Long:

"The enemy has stepped up its siege!"

"Oh." Long Long was drinking tea. Hearing this, he slowly put down the teacup and said calmly, "Then we should increase our defense accordingly."

"It has been increased!" Lou Ming was so anxious that his voice was so high, "Did you forget, my lord? Now there are only one-third of the people in the city, and the strength of the defensive formation has been increased to four times the original!"

The formation originally required three people to maintain, but now there is only one person left, so it must not be as flexible as before. The upper limit of the formation needs to be increased to three times, or even four times. The cost is that the resource consumption speed also corresponds to Triple or quadruple.

"Tsk." Long Long said very disdainfully, "I have seen your defensive formation just now. It's bad, it's really bad, no wonder it can't withstand the siege outside."

Lou Ming almost knelt down for him.What time is this wow!It's as if the enemy has bombarded the headquarters, but the commander doesn't think about a strategic retreat, and is still complaining about poor equipment... Is this the point now?

"Take it." Long Long picked up a scroll on the table and threw it on the ground.

Lou Ming hurriedly rushed over to catch it, looking like a goshawk preying on it, and opened it anxiously.

What was written on it was not a plan for the troops to evacuate, but a formation that had never been seen before.

"According to the serial formation diagram I drew above, I will connect all the separate defensive formations that were originally isolated and scattered and required a large number of monks to maintain." Long Long said lightly.

Chapter 51 For the tolerance of generals

With a broken heart, Lou Ming left with the array map Long Long gave him.

Although he can direct everyone to defend, he doesn't know anything about formations, so he can only find a few brothers who are in charge of drawing formations and ask them to improve according to the formation diagram given by Long Long.

Having said that, at this critical juncture of manpower shortage, it is really no problem to call out some people to improve the formation?

Lou Ming was extremely anxious at this moment, but Long Long was not in a hurry, he only heard Kunlun Mirror mocking him in the sea of ​​consciousness:

"You have carefully designed the formation diagram for so long, let alone realize the value of it, the other party may not understand it at all?"

"Why, is that formation map very precious?" Su Mingjian asked suddenly.

"Otherwise?" Kunlun Mirror asked back, "Do you think it is very simple and easy to reorganize countless small formations into a large formation? That is more troublesome than redrawing a large formation!"

"War formations are originally something that simplifies formations to the extreme. The purpose is to allow every monk who doesn't understand formations to quickly master them. He has worked so hard to reorganize many small formations into large formations. It is also to minimize the cost of understanding and getting started for these feather monks, it can be said that it has taken great pains."

"But even so, the other party didn't realize how precious it was. I guess that when the Yuzu left here, he might still be thinking 'what the hell is this person doing'."

"Indeed." Su Mingjian nodded and said.

"It's good if you don't understand." Long Long replied.

"Oh?" Kunlun Mirror said hehe, "Why don't you understand? Isn't your purpose just to pretend?"

"Of course not." Long Long sneered, "Idiot, do you think I'm you?"

"Then what is your purpose?"

"Po Jing, have you forgotten what race I am?"

Kunlun Mirror was silent for a moment, then suddenly stopped talking.

This guy...is a Dragon Clan.

Since it is the Dragon Clan, although it is necessary to fulfill the ally's duty to rescue the Yu Clan, it is impossible to send them a new defensive formation for no reason. How simple is it?

"But." Kunlun Mirror knew that it had made a mistake, and began to save face and dignity, "Even if they didn't realize the value of it at this time, after this formation successfully resisted the attack of the Qilin and White Tiger coalition forces, no matter how stupid people are, they will be able to see that this formation is illegal. Is it unusual?"

"So what?" Long Long said disdainfully, "In this formation, a lot of environmental factors are coupled, so it can only be effective in Yuanjiang City. Didn't you notice that I even have strict regulations on the drawing position of the formation? ?”

Kunlun Mirror lost his voice again.

Although I couldn't speak, what I thought in my heart was "Wow, you really have no good intentions, I thought you would give someone a big gift unprepared, so I still missed your despicableness." How shameless!"

"It took so long to design because we want to prevent the repeated use of this large formation?" Long Long finally concluded, "If it is just to reorganize several small formations into a large formation, it will be just a matter of minutes and seconds." It’s just a matter of seconds. Of course, considering your formation skills, it may be difficult..."

Kunlun mirror is so angry!It's just that her field of expertise is space-time and illusion, but she doesn't know much about formations, so she naturally has no way to continue to fight back against Longlong.

Formation is essentially a language, the use of energy and time and space by intelligent life.The Kunlun mirror is like an electric eel. Although it can generate electricity with its powerful innate talent, it is absolutely impossible to know what the voltage and resistance are.

After being buried by Long Long for a while, he couldn't explain his Kunlun mirror and started to pretend to be dead, only to hear Long Long say again:

"Don't go to sleep, A Jing, I still have some things I need you to do for me."

Kunlun Mirror was immediately refreshed, and sneered:

"Having said so much, don't you ask for me?"

"That's right." Long Long said with a smile, "You sneak into the siege camp now, and help me see how the white tiger general plans to attack my city in the future."

Kunlun mirror: ...

Su Mingjian: ...

This mirror and sword are completely sluggish: How did you say such shameless words calmly?

I knew your lower limit was unfathomable, but every time you can give us a refreshing feeling, it is too outrageous.

"Why, can't you?" Long Long frowned slightly, and said seriously, "Comrade Ah Jing, this is your fault! The two armies are facing each other, and they will do everything in order to win. I just want you to go and see the enemy. What's wrong with the commander's strategy? I didn't ask you to behead the enemy's commander directly, it's already a gentleman who doesn't want to do something, okay?"

Kunlun Jing thought the same thing, if I were to restrain the White Tiger God General with illusion, and then behead Su Mingjian with one sword... Bah, bah, bah, bah!How can I follow the train of thought of this guy who has no lower limit?

It is easy to restrain a fairy, but how can it be so simple to kill a fairy?Otherwise, the old lady will directly join forces with Su Mingjian to kill the immortals from various schools and sects, and take the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone!

"Ahem." Su Mingjian coughed and said, "Why are you polluted by this guy? Every now and then, you just assassinate immortals and grab the fragments. Can you have a moral bottom line?"

Kunlun Mirror was bewildered and said after a long while:

"This... saves the world, isn't it all-powerful?"

Su Mingjian was speechless, and said to himself, aren't you already in his shape?

With no choice but to reincarnate as a little round-faced girl, Kunlun Mirror escaped from the city in a random direction—the original Jiangcheng was besieged on three sides, and he didn't know where the White Tiger God would be hiding, so he had to scan carefully one by one.

There is no scanning on Longlong's side, and he can't sit in the city and watch the siege.However, the tea leaves left by the original city lord in the city are not bad, and they are brewed after being boiled with river water, which has a special flavor.

Deep in the ground, Longhu is vigorously activating the Golden Crow True Fire Fan, melting and burning the passage in front of it, opening a brand new path.

The feather monks in the rear finally knew how the dragons penetrated into the city.

Jinwu is a true fire fan!

Although I have never seen the famous magic weapon of the Golden Crow clan, after all, it is a feather fan, not a scale fan. If I think about it with my feet, I know it is a magic weapon of the Yu clan. Looking at the fierce flames, how can I not guess the answer?

In normal times, everyone would be scrambling to kill all these foreigners.

How can the supreme treasure of the Yu clan fall into the hands of outsiders!Of course, whether to return it to the Golden Crow clan is another matter.
