Chapter 431: World Chapter: The Xuanyong Army Rising to Resistance (7)

After finally defeating the heroes of the Xuanyong camp and single-handedly defeating the black and white chess that terrified the world, Wang Yao would never have thought that he would encounter unprecedented strong obstacles when he was conquering the enemy's "non-existent" high ground!
At this moment, it is dawn.

As the pale sky gradually dissipated, the bright red morning sun gradually rose, slowly illuminating the two figures, one tall and one short, on the top of the solitary peak.

That was Wang Yao and Sun Shangxiang.

Under the cold mask that no one else could see, Wang Yao's brows were already furrowed.

Because even after a long night of fierce fighting, Xuanyong's three highland defense towers still stood firm and were not captured by Wang Yao's federal army, and the battle situation was still very fierce and stalemate.

"Oh shit! Are these guys crazy? How come they are so powerful?" Even Sun Shangxiang, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but be amazed at the cruelty of the war and the bravery of the enemy.

The eldest daughter, who was born into an aristocratic family but never acted like an aristocrat, was naturally outspoken and could utter all kinds of vulgar words. But at this moment, even Wang Yao subconsciously felt that the eldest daughter's words were unexpectedly down-to-earth.

indeed.

This is fucking crazy!

what is this?
Under the reflection of the beacon fire and the rising sun, the soldiers of both sides on the battlefield ahead had all become blood-thirsty, as if they had turned into crazy war machines, hacking and killing each other tirelessly without any fear. Every second, there were countless screams and roars rising and falling, and around the three heights of Xuanyong, the blood of countless fallen soldiers was so much that it had soaked the ground into a bloody and terrifying quagmire!
This should be the most brutal canyon war in history, in which only small soldiers were involved. The total number of troops deployed by both sides reached an astonishing 50. The two groups of people, who had never met each other, were crowded in that vast bloody quagmire and fought madly. Countless human figures dyed red by the blood mud were wriggling back and forth in it, densely packed, and finally formed an extremely bizarre and terrifying scene, accompanied by shrill screams and hysterical roars, just like countless evil spirits struggling and twisting in the blood pool of hell!
They are no longer human beings, but a group of bloodthirsty evil spirits whose murderous nature has been completely exposed!

Although the individual combat capabilities of the federal soldiers were very strong, the Xuanyong soldiers were obviously not just for show. With an almost flawless formation and a tenacious will to fight to the death, they managed to resist the fierce charges organized by the federal army time and time again!
And this situation has lasted for a whole night.

If one looked from the high peak where Wang Yao was standing, one could even clearly see the corpses of the Xuanyong Army soldiers. There were so many of them that they formed a mountain outside. But even so, the federal army was still unable to advance an inch!
Such a situation was obviously far beyond Wang Yao's expectations.

Because in fact, just as Meng Tian predicted, before Wang Yao arrived at the Xuanyong Highlands, he had basically determined that after all the enemy heroes including Ying Zheng were killed in succession, the leaderless Xuanyong army would inevitably collapse and fall into chaos, and it would be a piece of cake to capture the Xuanyong Highlands!
But yesterday evening, when Wang Yao saw from afar the Xuanyong Army's defense matrix that had obviously been specially arranged, he realized in an instant that the problem seemed far from as simple as he had imagined!
You know, Wang Yao was also a soldier before. More importantly, he also paid great attention to the combat method of "relying on commanding soldiers to kill the enemy efficiently" (tried and tested), and now, in the Xuanyong Army right in front of him, there appeared a soldier who was exactly the same as him back then!

This person was also extremely talented in commanding battles. It was this unknown soldier who led the Xuanyong Army, which should have been vulnerable, to launch the most fierce and intense resistance against them!
However, what made Wang Yao, besides being shocked, also quite admired him, was not the outstanding command ability of his opponent, but his courage!
Not every soldier dares to face the hero like this, especially when all the heroes on his side are killed and facing the enemy's army!
Even the courage of this opponent indirectly inspired all the Xuanyong troops and aroused the fighting spirit in people's hearts, which led to the fact that the federal army failed to capture the enemy's high ground despite repeated attacks.

It is really precious.
Wang Yao couldn't help but admire in his heart.

Of course, if the war continues like this, not to mention the waste of time, even if the federal army that was finally recruited can finally capture the enemy's high ground, most of them will probably be killed or wounded!
So in the end, it was Sun Shangxiang behind him who couldn't sit still first. With a click, this impetuous young lady pulled the bolt of her gun directly: "No, if this goes on, all our soldiers will die. I'll go down and help!"

result--

"Stop." Wang Yao said calmly, "You are not allowed to go over there."

"Why?" Sun Shangxiang frowned slightly and looked at Wang Yao with a slightly puzzled and depressed look.

Isn't it the best arrangement at the moment to directly let the strategic-level unit, the hero, forcibly intervene in the battlefield and speed up the end of the war?
However, Wang Yao did not respond to this.

The square platform on the cold and lonely peak fell into an indescribable silence, which formed a sharp contrast with the noisy and bloody battlefield ahead.

".well."

A subtle sigh drifted away from behind with a breeze. As the saying goes, there is always someone better. It seems that Sun Shangxiang has just gotten used to it and knows that the man in front of her always acts steadily. Seeing Wang Yao fall into silence, although she still feels a little upset, she finally obeys Wang Yao's wishes and sits alone on a stone pier with her hands on her chin, looking depressedly at the direction of the battlefield.

It should be noted here that Wang Yao was not stupid. There was a reason why he did not participate in the battle, nor did he let Sun Shangxiang join the battle, and even did not transfer heroes from the rear to help capture Xuanyong Highlands. That is;

He needs to retain the strength of his own heroes to the greatest extent possible so as to make full preparations for the subsequent attack on Jixia Academy!
Wang Yao knew that although a soldier was weak, when thousands, even tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers were commanded and fired at at the same time, even a hero could be killed and seriously injured! And what about Jixia Academy?

It is a behemoth that represents the top of the world, and its background remains unfathomable. No one knows how many "new" heroes like Meng Tian and Jing are hidden inside the Jixia Academy.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Wang Yao knew that sacrificing the Fuso Four was the maximum loss the Federation could bear at present. The resurrection of the heroes would take time, which could be as short as one or two months or as long as one or two years! If other heroes in the Federation were allowed to join the battle at this time and there were secondary casualties, the consequences would be terrible.

Further shortage of manpower will inevitably lead to slow progress in the capture of Jixia. By then, if the heroes of the Xuanyong camp who were defeated with great difficulty are resurrected one after another, then Wang Yao will lose the best opportunity to capture Jixia Academy forever!
This is a war that is full of risks. If you are not careful, you will be doomed!
As the supreme commander of the Federation, Wang Yao had to consider the worst-case scenario. This meant that Wang Yao would never deploy too many heroes to the Xuanyong battlefield. At the same time, it was also to prevent Sun Shangxiang from interfering in the battle to capture the highlands. This was also the real reason why he did not deploy all the heroes in the Federation when attacking Xuanyong, but only dispatched a Fuso unit to cooperate in the battle!

But the result was obvious. Not only did the federal army fail to successfully capture the Xuanyong Highlands, it also suffered repeated setbacks and suffered heavy losses. Until this moment, the enemy's troops still seemed to be endless and continued to emerge in the Xuanyong Highlands.

Did they mobilize the reserve troops in the rear of Xuanyong?
Wang Yao understood at a glance where the enemy troops came from.

However, even so, Wang Yao still couldn't figure it out.

There is such a huge disparity in strength that the opponents cannot possibly be unaware that their high ground will inevitably be lost, but why are they still risking their lives to hold on here?

No, it should be said that Wang Yao could fully understand the soldiers' determination to fight for their homeland, and could even roughly deduce what terminology the opponent used to inspire the Xuanyong soldiers, but he still couldn't figure it out.

Because the Xuanyong Army didn't need to do that. Wang Yao had no intention of destroying their homes or enslaving their lives. Although he was dubbed the "Demon King" by Jixia Academy, he was definitely not a demon. It can even be said that Wang Yao's starting point from the beginning was to cut off the source of the chaos - Jixia Academy, so that the 400 million soldiers could get rid of the cruel fate of "born for war, die for war".

But why did the Xuanyong soldiers still fight to the death?

What is the reason that supports their spirit and makes them swing their machetes tirelessly like wild beasts?
This question did not bother Wang Yao for too long, because soon, amid the faint shouting and roaring, Wang Yao seemed to hear someone shouting a slogan.

"Hold on, Jixia Academy will soon lead heroes to support us!"

"We must defend the high ground even if we die. Once the troops from Jixia Academy arrive, these bastards will be dead!"

Wait, Jixia Academy will come to support? ?

At that moment, Wang Yao's pupils under the mask shrank slightly, and he suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out that the reason why these soldiers were ready to die and stand firm to the end without hesitation, was not to protect their homes, but the hope of victory!!
After being stunned for two seconds, as if he had anticipated a certain scene, Wang Yao became furious for the first time in such a long time!

"Stupid!" Wang Yao stood up with a low curse. This sudden action coupled with the terrifying pressure made the mountains under his feet tremble slightly, and also scared Sun Shangxiang behind him.

"What are you doing?"

The girl, with a puzzled look on her face, hadn't finished her words when Wang Yao's figure exploded with a blue light and disappeared like a ghost.
