Allied Conference, Hangzhou.
The southern heroes looked at Zhu Huan's body on the ground with solemn expressions.
It was very clear that he was hit in the back after he was exhausted and died of his injuries.
But the problem reflected here is very serious.
I thought Kuaiji was like an unguarded brothel that anyone could get in on, which was why ambitious people like Zhu Huan were ready to make a move. But in fact, he was not the only one who wanted to make a move.
This time everyone took a deep breath and secretly thanked themselves for not being so anxious.
Zhu Huan's soldiers were very elite, and were considered the strongest among the allied forces present, but he could not even see Maitreya, and he could not force the Maitreya Sect to reveal any tricks it had. A mere thousand monks killed him outside the city, and he did not even have the chance to escape.
If it weren't for Tang Buqi's support, the Luling army would have been wiped out, which would have been a heavy loss.
It has to be said that Tang Buqi's move was a powerful reassurance in the eyes of most people. It was so reliable that it made people feel at ease. With such a leader, cohesion was created.
In fact, a small number of people who watched from the sidelines could figure out something... But at this moment, they really didn't care how those soldiers would be secretly incorporated by the Tang family, or whether Zhu Huan's nephews and nieces would follow the Tang family's lead from now on. These were all stories for later... The immediate issue was how to fight in Kuaiji now.
If Maitreya doesn't die, everyone will be worried and unable to sleep or eat. Who wouldn't be afraid of being beheaded by a master on the Earth Ranking in their sleep in the future? This is the most important thing.
However, it was not until this moment that people realized that they had never fought such a war in which they did not know the enemy. Not even a single spy could enter Kuaiji, and no news could be heard. Previously, everyone thought that Maitreya was finished, but this time someone was stubborn enough to investigate for everyone. Just the tip of the iceberg revealed was enough to cause the elite troops of a town to fail. What else could be more
How to fight this battle
Tang Buqi had previously said that there was no food in the city and that it would fall within ten days if besieged. Now it seemed to be a white lie to stabilize the morale of the army.
There is no internal intelligence at all, how do you know how much food they have stored? Moreover, judging from the performance of those monks, they may not even need food...
"Master Tang." In the silence, someone finally spoke up: "The Demon Suppression Division may have more information and know something that everyone else doesn't know... How to fight this battle, everyone will follow your orders."
Tang Buqi waved his hand: "We don't know how much it is, but my aunt told me not to worry."
"So we are just waiting here for the arrival of the chief? To be honest, if we delay for too long, we will run out of food and grass."
This is not an excuse to be discouraged, it is the truth.
It was the end of spring, the time when food was scarce. After fighting for so long, how much food did anyone have? This was also the main reason why most people were critical of Tang Buqi's inaction. Every day of the siege, we had to tighten our belts a little more. No one was here for a trip.
If this continues, not only will Maitreya collapse on its own, but they will not be able to surround it and will have to disperse.
Tang Buqi said: "I don't know when my aunt will arrive, but you and I can't just rely on my aunt."
… She is your aunt, why do you say that I only rely on you? It seems like we are the aunt’s treasures, and you are not the same…
But Tang Buqi continued: "Based on what we can see, we should also do our own analysis."
He waved his hand, and the soldiers outside carried in the headless body of a monk soldier and placed it in the hall.
Before the head was chopped off, the body was still twisting and struggling, but at this moment it was completely cold.
Tang Buqi squatted beside the monk soldier and said, "What can be confirmed is that this is not a corpse soldier. He was actually alive before he was beheaded. A fanatical belief made him actively "invite the gods to possess him", and then the gods really came and were unstoppable. This should be the core elite of Maitreya Sect..."
Someone asked: "Why didn't we see it when we attacked the city before? Otherwise, we would have been unable to stop it."
Tang Buqi said, "It should be only around Kuaiji, not far away. Before, outside the city, this headless body was still able to move, but now it is dead. It should be because it has left the coverage area."
"So if we want to fight this kind of battle, should we lead them away from Kuaiji? But they will resist in the end and will not leave no matter what."
"This situation must have a source, and when a strong person enters the city, he will destroy the source." Tang Buqi said: "At the same time, we must also attack the city with all our strength to contain these things and prevent them from besieging the people entering the city."
This is the theory, but the heated atmosphere of the discussion suddenly cooled down and no one responded.
This is not about waiting for strong people like Tang Wanzhuang to go in and solve the problem before attacking the city. Instead, everyone must do their best to contain these monk soldiers to make it easier for Tang Wanzhuang and others to act in the city.
This is fatal.
Zhu Huan's previous experience was a lesson for the country, and the collapse only took a moment. Who would dare to be the second one? Who knows how many monks there are
Tang Buqi looked around and said slowly, "The energy of these monks is limited. I guess it's because of their own strength that they can't last long... As long as we are prepared and hold out against them, they will start to weaken after about an incense stick, so we only need to fight them for an incense stick."
Still no one answered.
Tang Buqi simply said: "The plan is to surround three gates and leave one, leaving the south gate empty. My Tang family will attack the north gate, so who is willing to take the lead in attacking the east and west gates?"
There was complete silence.
Tang Buqi looked over one by one, and found that everyone was avoiding his gaze, hoping that someone else would go up first.
This is the last battle, who is willing to fight to the death? After others suffer heavy casualties, there will be plenty of peaches to be picked later. It is still unknown who will be the master of Jiangnan.
There was clear disappointment in Tang Buqi's eyes.
The reason why my aunt hadn't come over for so long was that she had to recover from her previous injuries and that she must be trying to contact other strong men to enter the city together. That would be the most dangerous dead end. Don't wait until the strong men from my aunt's side are settled and Tang Buqi can't do the containment he should do.
It's really ridiculous. Tang Wanzhuang entered the city as a death warrior, Tang Buqi led the crowd as the vanguard, and then what? What about others
Apart from the Tang family, have all the aristocratic families died out
Not as good as Zhu Huan! He has ambition, but he is willing to work! What are these people
At this moment, laughter came from outside the hall: "In that case, my Cao Gang will be responsible for the East Gate."
As he spoke, Wan Dongliu strode in and bowed to Tang Buqi: "The Cao Gang has come to support us... We are not many with us, so we can be in charge of the East Gate."
Tang Buqi was overjoyed: "Brother Wan is so righteous!"
Someone frowned coldly: "When the various lords are besieging the evil cult, when will the underworld gangs have a say?"
Wan Dongliu smiled and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
A middle-aged man also strode in at this time and said with a smile: "In this case, Ximen will be handed over to our Blood God Sect. The Holy Son said that Ximen Youqing likes him."
There was a whisper in the field.
Blood God Cult! Xue Canghai!
This is even more unacceptable than the Cao Gang. It's fine if the Jianghu gangs come to help, but when will the Demon Cult appear in such a place openly
Tang Buqi's mouth also twitched, and it was unclear whether he was happy or angry.
He had enough information, and he knew about Zhao Changhe's subjugation of the Blood God Cult and his arrival in Xiangyang. Xue Canghai's arrival basically meant that Zhao Changhe's matter was settled, which also meant that his aunt had come... But thinking about calling that boy his uncle, how could he be happy
He didn't say anything for a while, but others misunderstood. Someone slammed the table and pointed at Xue Canghai and said, "The famous families are here to suppress the evil cult. When does the Blood God Cult have a say? You are the evil cult that should be suppressed! Who let them in? Get them out."
Xue Canghai stared at him coldly, smiling: "A famous family? How come all I see is a bunch of wild dogs fighting for food? Even worse than that... Wild dogs fighting for food still have blood, what the hell are you?"
"Hey... Could this be Master Xue who was challenged by someone higher than him? You..."
Before he could finish his words, Xue Canghai dodged in a rage and grabbed the man's neck tightly with just one claw, almost breaking it.
This was a anger that he had been holding back for half a book, no, for a year and a half, and even Zhao Changhe didn't dare to expose this scar to his face.
"I have been challenged by someone above my level... but it's a pity that person wasn't you." Xue Canghai said coldly, "You don't want to be associated with our Demon Sect, right? Then you guys go away, or let me kill you?"
The man looked at Tang Buqi with difficulty: "Mr. Tang..."
Tang Buqi bowed helplessly: "Master Xue, please give me some face and stop killing people here..."
What he said was not to drive the Demon Cult out, but to give him face. Someone else couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Since Mr. Tang only values the Demon Cult, then we will leave and let the Demon Cult accompany you to fight Maitreya."
A voice came from outside again: "You can indeed go now."
People turned their heads and saw a tall young man striding in, with an imposing aura and a scar on his face.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and a name popped up at the same time.
Blood Shura, Zhao Changhe!
He is obviously a junior, but the sense of ferocity brought by this name is even greater than that of Xue Canghai... Everyone was silent for a moment.
Don't be fooled by his young age. He is not only a Grandmaster on the Human Ranking, but also has another identity that has been secretly circulated for some time, and many nobles have guessed about it.
Tang Wanzhuang almost showed her support for him...
If he takes the lead in supporting the demon sect and the gang... is he representing the court's opinion? Or is he just thinking about it
With his mind divided, Zhao Changhe looked around and grinned, "I have invited all the heroes to hunt in Wu. I am late... But the heroes never include you. Please do as you please."
Someone slowly asked, "Master Zhao, do you know what you are talking about... Have you thought it through?"
"A man should not associate with rats." Zhao Changhe said calmly: "As for what you think in your heart, I'm sorry, I don't care."
People suddenly felt something and turned to look. Cui Wenjing and Yang Jingxiu were standing quietly in front of the hall door with their hands behind their backs, as if they were not even in the mood to come in and talk.
If we say that we will hunt in Wu, who will be the prey
Except for Maitreya...them too.
