Chapter 223 Li Mingyang's Strategy
"What's going on outside now?" Ning Wang asked.
"The basic monks of the city that can be explored have been evacuated." The chief bodyguard of the royal palace replied seriously and then added, "Some cities have even taken away those who have spiritual roots that have not yet begun to practice."
King Ning sat on the chair with no expression on his face, and his fingers kept knocking on the table in front of him. He was silent for a long time and suddenly asked, "Should we go?"
The bodyguard seemed to have expected that King Ning would ask this question for a long time, but he had no good idea. He could only press his head lower: "I don't know."
"I don't know..." King Ning seemed to sigh slightly. After all, he was not as angry as in the past, but kept saying: "How can I not know? How can I not..."
At the beginning of hiding in Chongwen City, Ning Wang could still maintain a certain amount of calmness, but as time went by, many of his performances began to become a little nervous. People who have followed King Ning for many years have vaguely realized that Ning Shicong no longer seems to be the king of Ning in the past. He has no temper, no ambition, or even any vigilance. Today's situation in the south can be said to be clear at a glance, but King Ning can't even make the most basic decisions.
The bodyguard hesitated for a long time and finally couldn't help saying, "Your Majesty, maybe... Maybe we should go to Phoenix to meet them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bodyguard keenly caught a trace of fierceness in King Ning's eyes. As before, he was about to secretly blame himself for talking too much, but he saw that the fierce light in King Ning's eyes was just fleeting, and then asked very easy: "Why do you want to meet? Tell me."
The bodyguard gave himself courage and said seriously, "According to the war report, this time the Shu army is divided into three ways to go south. Although my Chongwen City is located in a remote area, the monks of other cities have gone empty. Those Shu troops will find us here sooner or later, and then..."
"We will be washed by blood at that time?" King Ning asked with a smile.
"I dare not." The chief bodyguard quickly bowed up.
King Ning waved his hand casually and said, "You can't go to Phoenix. Tell everyone to stay in Chongwen City at ease."
"But..." The bodyguard raised his head with an embarrassed face.
King Ning finally showed an impatient look and said in a low voice, "There is nothing, but tell us people to stay calm and tell their messenger Ben Wang's decision."
The chief bodyguard still showed hesitation, but in the end he could only retreat.
Ning Wang stood under the moonlight like a lone wolf and stubbornly muttered to himself, "I, Ning Shicong, will never allow them to see my embarrassment."
It's night, and there are mourning in Chongwen City.

In Phoenix, Li Mingyang took over a war report handed over by Guo Yunshan. After reading it, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "Ning Shicong is not going to come?"
Guo Yunshan smiled and responded.
"What does he think?" Li Mingyang looked at Guo Yunshan with a faint smile on his face: "Isn't this just looking for death?"
"That's the way to save face. He would rather die than save his face." Guo Yunshan made a calm comment.
"Face is worth a few dollars." Li Mingyang looked disdainful, but finally showed unbearable face: "It's just a pity that the 30,000 monks who follow King Ning must not all want face."
Guo Yunshan still frowned and didn't say anything.
"That's all. If he likes to die by himself, let him go." After a little silence, Li Ming raised his eyebrows and frowned deeper: "It's just that those Shu soldiers... are so difficult."
Phoenix has never been as lively as this time, or has never had such a glorious moment. Black Phoenix looked at the overcrowded Phoenix City and had complicated thoughts for a moment.
In just one day, 50,000 to 60,000 monks gathered in Phoenix, and the monks in the surrounding city were basically transmitted through the transmission array at the first time. For them, this transmission cost was deliberately borne. However, although Phoenix's strength has soared now, the Black Phoenix is frustrated when he thinks that the current protagonist is not himself. I have been strong all my life, but I have no chance when I want to be strong most.
I just think of the monsters in the Phoenix Hall, but it is difficult for the Black Phoenix to raise any fighting spirit. Gong Yangwen's difficulties, Li Mingyang's strangeness, and Guo Yunshan's wisdom, it is really difficult to imagine how their group of people came together.
When the Black Phoenix was in a daze, he suddenly saw the pair of swordsmen coming out.
"Phoenix Lord, this is the strategy formulated by Li Mengzhu. Take a look." After Yan Kuo handed over a Yujian, he turned around and walked away and continued to look for the next person who was qualified to pick up Yu Jian.
The swordsman brother Black Phoenix is also taboo. Although they don't fight, they always give her a very dangerous feeling when they walk together, although the brothers always smile.
Thinking carefully, I suddenly found that Li Mingyang and others usually like to laugh. If they hadn't fought with them, they really couldn't imagine what they would look like when they fought.
"They are all a group of freaks." Looking at the Yan brothers who went far away, Black Phoenix couldn't help sighing.
However, when she saw the news in Yu Jianli, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Digging trenches?" When the head of Xianmen, who had rushed to Phoenix, saw the news in Yu Jian, he was as stunned as the Black Phoenix.
"Master Li, this...this..."
"What is this?"
"Hey, I don't know whether it's a strategy or a whimstical idea. What's the use of digging trenches in the battle of the monks?"
As the jade slips were distributed one by one, a sound of doubts immediately came up.
Guo Yunshan also looked at Li Mingyang curiously: "Mingyang, isn't this method a little too useless?"
The reason why the monks in Phoenix didn't know the news of Yu Jianli* is that they thought it was made by Guo Yunshan. Guo Yunshan has now become the first military division in the south, but people don't know that this is really the idea of Master Li.
Li Mingyang did not hesitate at all, but said firmly, "This battle must be fought like this. Only in this way can we win."
Seeing that Li Mingyang repeatedly insisted, Guo Yunshan continued to study the content of Yu Jian.
Li Mingyang put forward a very strange idea to dig a trench around Phoenix. This is not so much a trench as Li Mingyang wants to dig a canal. However, this trench is dug around Phoenix, so it gives the impression that Li Mingyang is going to dig a moat.
This is a rather funny idea. Although the Central Plains monks let the southern monks know that the battle of the monks can also be carried out in the way of war, the monks' battle is ultimately a battle of the monks, not a secular battle. The moat is not a big obstacle even for low-level monks. In the way.
However, Guo Yunshan knew that Li Mingyang did not want to dig a moat, but a large and amazing trench. Thinking of Li Mingyang's achievements in the array, Guo Yunshan thought that Li Mingyang intended to arrange a super array by relying on the terrain, but with his array, he found that this idea was basically impossible. Looking left and right, this was just an ordinary trench... Well, of course, this is a big ordinary trench. ......
"What on earth are you going to do?" Guo Yunshan finally didn't want to guess anymore and asked directly.
Li Mingyang did not sell the barrier, but pointed to the outside of the city and said, "Actually, what I want to dig is not a trench, but a battlefield."
"Battlefield?" Guo Yunshan narrowed his eyes and seemed to realize something.
"Brother Yan said that there are not all strong men in the Central Plains, and we have all seen them. There are also martial artists in the team of the Central Plains monks, as well as small monks in the second and triple spirits, and there are also guys who can't even use flying swords..."
Looking at Li Mingyang talking, Guo Yunshan listened calmly and did not interrupt. Gradually, he finally understood what Li Mingyang meant.
Li Mingyang's idea is completely based on the real situation of the Central Plains monk. In the final analysis, the Shu army, the elite division of the Central Plains, is only a group of low-level monks. The cultivation of ordinary warriors can never exceed the fivefold of the fantasy world, which is doomed to use flying swords freely.
Needless to say, even the warriors in the clear spiritual realm can't fly with their swords. Although ordinary monks can practice sword secrets three times in the fantasy realm, they are actually quite far from flying with the imperial sword. The reason why the Central Plains monks are stronger than the southern monks is that they cooperate with each other. The Central Plains monks are only strong in the battle, not in their personal strength.
In order to complete the best battle array cooperation, it is impossible for low-level monks to fly the sword to attack in the air. For the three- and four-fold low-level monks in the fantasy world, even if some talented people can fly with swords, once they take off, all their minds can only focus on controlling the flying swords, and it can only be delusional to complete complex battle array cooperation.
Therefore, the Shu army must be a land battle, which is the only way that low-level monks can use. After all, even if they want to take care of a large number of warriors in the team, they can't fight.
Since the Shu army can only fight by land, it is impossible for them to fly directly by digging a trench a hundred feet deep and 3,000 feet wide around Phoenix. As long as they dare to take off, they can only become the target of the southern masters. Even if they have a teleport magic weapon, the teleport magic weapon with hundreds of people at a time is already the best. If you want to hold tens of thousands of people, there is absolutely no such treasure.
In this way, after the Shu army came here, they either stopped fighting, or directly bypassed Phoenix, or needed to enter the trench and advance to Phoenix.
The height of a hundred feet is not too high, but it is impossible for low-level monks to jump so high directly, so once they enter the trench, it is impossible to exit halfway. As long as they do not retreat, it is the moment of decisive battle between the two sides.
Guo Yunshan was greatly impressed by Li Mingyang's idea after listening to it, but after thinking about it, he still asked worriedly, "It's just that the Yuan monks of the hundred-foot trench can't get out, and our people can't get out either?"
