"Boss is right. It started with two people attacking together, but they found that they were no match for me. Soon another person came, but they still couldn't get the upper hand, and another one came from behind." Zhu Hengdao.

"What's the situation on the front line now?" Chu Xiang asked.

After looking at his phone, Lu Danbiao said: "The other party's attack has stopped."

"Let them be careful, there should be another test before dawn." Chu Xiang said.

Lu Danbiao nodded and sent Chu Xiang's words to the temporary combat group.

Except for the wounded and Li Zhen, Chu Xiang asked everyone to go to the front line of defense to strengthen the defense and resist the temptation at dawn. In the dark night, the military camp that had been silent at the foot of the mountain finally started to move. People left the military camp one after another, some in groups of two, and some in groups of six, and quietly disappeared into the jungle.

Under the cover of night, the mountains began to quiet down. From time to time, wounded people were brought back, basically second-level combatants who were reinforcing the front line. Li Zhen was very busy. Zhao Jian, Li Liuzi, Sun Xiaoning and others rushed to help, following Li Zhen's instructions. While everyone was dealing with their injuries, only Chu Xiang lay quietly on the snow without moving.

After taking care of all the wounded who were sent back, it was already late at night, and everyone was a little tired. Fortunately, the house Sun Xiaoning built in his spare time was wide enough for everyone to sleep in it.

Fearing that the cold would aggravate the injury of the wounded, Chu Xiang asked Zhao Jian and others to light a fire around the wooden house. The blazing fire could be seen dozens of kilometers away.

"Boss, are you trying to confuse your ears?" After finishing his work, Li Zhen sat down next to Chu Xiang.

"False and real can make people confused. If you were an enemy, what would you think when you saw such a situation?" Chu Xiang said.

"Be confident." Li Zhen said.

"What if the opponent repeatedly retreats?" Chu Xiang asked again.

"Bluffing?" Li Zhen was not sure.

"Of course, it could also be to lure the enemy deeper." Chu Xiang said.

"It's true and false. Even if the enemy doesn't launch a round of attacks, they will regard this mountain as a clear target." Li Zhen said, thinking about it, Li Zhen said: "The enemy probably has investigation methods and knows the situation here."

"That's right." Chu Xiang said. The trees on the top of the mountain were chopped off with his sword. There was nothing blocking the view. The top of the mountain was only thirty kilometers away from the defense line. The enemy could probably see what was happening on the mountain with a high-power telescope.

"Boss, are you trying to lure the enemy with yourself?" Li Zhen said with a smile.

"Maybe." Chu Xiang said, the situation is changing rapidly, and it is difficult to predict what the enemy will do. If it is as expected, it will be good, but if it is unexpected, then another strategy will be needed.

"Should we evacuate the wounded?" Li Zhen said.

"No need." Chu Xiang shook his head. You can't catch fish without bait.

Before dawn, the enemy indeed launched another attack. From the military information sharing group, we learned that several other places were attacked at the same time. The enemy's offensive was extremely sharp. Several masters broke into the defense area of ​​Jiangwu Hall, and several people were caught off guard and killed. There were many casualties among the second-level combatants. If the first-level combatants had not arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Retreat twenty kilometers." Chu Xiang ordered.

Martial arts hall defense line again

Withdraw, the military coordination group was immediately in an uproar. Representatives of the major forces were talking about it. The content of the conversation was extremely rude to the Jiangwu Hall. The representative of the Jiangwu Hall did not say anything and was scolded by the representatives of the two forces on the left and right of the defense area. It was bloody, and the military could only watch.

When the military's coordinated operations group was in an uproar, the information about the military training hall's retreat was revealed, and soon an overwhelming discussion was formed on the Internet. With the guidance of thoughtful people, although many people supported the military training hall, it was still difficult to resist the one-sided trend. The sound of crusade.

At the top of Shelu Mountain, wounded people continued to come back on their own. A large number of people were injured, and there was no manpower available to send them back, so they could only insist on coming back on their own. When the wounded soldiers who fought hard saw this information, their lungs were about to explode. They were fighting for their lives on the front line, but those keyboard gangsters were holding them back. If Chu Xiang hadn't been on the mountain, everyone would have gone berserk. Even so, on the Internet I still keep quarreling with the keyboard gang.

Emotional excitement affected recovery, Chu Xiang asked Li Zhen to collect their mobile phones to prevent them from being angry all day long, and even their own people almost started to quarrel. A group of people without mobile phones had nothing to do all day long. The noise made Chu Xiang's ears buzz. He wanted them to do something, but they were all wounded, so there was really no way.

"It's so noisy. If you keep making more noise, I'll throw you down." Chu Xiang finally couldn't help shouting.

Chu Xiang got angry, and the group of people finally calmed down. When Chu Xiang was about to arrange for people to lay a trap, Cheng Huan had already sent a personnel deployment plan, placing ten first-level combat personnel in front of the defense line, and ten first-level combat personnel and The other second-level combat forces are placed on the left, and military troops have been deployed on the right. After the battle begins, the ten first-level combat forces on the front will fight according to the situation, luring the enemy into the net. If the situation is unfavorable, retreat to the left and put them away. Open a defensive line and let the enemy rush straight towards Shelu Mountain. The first-level combat force who is not seriously injured will go to the right to assist the military.

The plan was almost exactly the same as what Chu Xiang had in mind. He replied to Cheng Huan and asked him to arrange it. Chu Xiang lay down again.

"Find something for them to do." Chu Xiang said to Li Zhen.

"Yes, boss." Li Zhen said with a smile.

The defense line retreated again, and the frontline combatants were less than ten kilometers down the mountain, within sight. A loud shout from the top of the mountain could be heard by those in front.

Although the strategy has been decided, Chu Xiang is still a little worried. The enemy will not follow the written script. If the enemy finds a breakthrough point, it is likely to be completely defeated. Not only will it cause heavy losses, but it will also greatly affect the Martial Arts Hall. If the reputation is further fueled by those who are interested, the Martial Arts Hall will probably be attacked by a group of people, and it will plummet from then on.

This battle is very important, very important. It can be said to be the most important battle since the establishment of Jiangwu Hall. Chu Xiang did not have to bring Jiangwu Hall into this situation. This is a huge pressure for Jiangwu Hall. The same is true for him, because in this battle, he will be the most critical member. In front of Shelu Mountain, there will be no one else except him, but behind him are dozens of wounded from the Jiangwu Hall.

Today, the atmosphere at the top of Shelu Mountain has become a bit solemn. I can feel the change in the atmosphere. Many of the injured have spoken less. Most of them sit quietly and adjust their breath. Only the most lively ones are still wandering around, unable to bear the silence.

Time passes, and the quiet environment always

It makes people feel that time has passed extremely long. The falling snowflakes have dyed Shelu Mountain white. The mountains are silent, the birds are speechless, and there are occasional beasts roaring in the distance.

Yang Ziyang came back, looking a little depressed. It seemed that he had failed. The guards in the military camp had obviously improved to a higher level.

"The artillery position on the mountainside is not well guarded. Go there." Chu Xiang said.

"Okay." Sensing the difference in Chu Xiang's expression and knowing that a battle was about to begin, Yang Ziyang nodded and left without saying much.

"Xiao Jian, Lao Li, you guys are going too," Chu Xiang said.

Hearing Chu Xiang's voice, Zhao Jian and Li Liuzi also left the top of the mountain and went to the artillery position to protect them.

"Li Zhen, I'll leave them to you." Chu Xiang said.

"Don't worry, boss." Li Zhenzhen, who was checking the wounded, said seductively.

It was a quiet day. During the whole day, the defense line of Jiangwu Hall was not attacked. From time to time, some people tried to sneak past the defense line, but they were repelled. The defense lines in other places were attacked from time to time, and the intensity of the attacks in some places was not as strong as last night. Wu Tang endured little, and the situation seemed to have entered a stalemate again.

It is getting dark, and the mountains in the distance are slowly submerged in the night. The wind is blowing, the leaves are rustling, and the mountains are covered with rustling sounds, as if countless snakes, insects, rats, and ants are coming in swarms. .

"Xiao Ning, come here." Chu Xiang, who was lying on the snow, suddenly sat up.

She didn't know why Chu Xiang called her, but Sun Xiaoning walked quickly to Chu Xiang's side.

"From now on, tell me all the news in the combat group and send everything I say to the group." Chu Xiang said, handing the phone to Sun Xiaoning.

"Understood." Sun Xiaoning nodded and took Chu Xiang's cell phone.

The mountains were shrouded in the dark sky. Looking around, there was only a little light on the top of Shelu Mountain. Chu Xiang closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, as if he had fallen into concentration.

"Here we come." Chu Xiang suddenly said.

When Sun Xiaoning was wondering what the two inexplicable words meant, she remembered that Chu Xiang asked her to send everything she said to the Shelu Mountain combat voice communication group, and quickly sent the message.

Just after sending these two words, the voice on the phone rang: "Attention, everyone, the enemy is about to attack."

As soon as he finished speaking, in the dark jungle at the foot of the mountain, tigers and apes suddenly roared in the distance. The forest was shaking, as if there were waves rolling in. The staff of the Lecture Hall who were in front of the defense line noticed that there was a fishy smell in front of them, as if thousands of troops were charging. Coming, the terrifying momentum made everyone feel helpless.

"Withdraw the frontline personnel and notify the military of artillery fire coverage." Chu Xiang's voice sounded again, and Sun Xiaoning truthfully repeated Chu Xiang's words.

A few seconds later, the artillery position on the mountainside roared, and countless scorching flames penetrated the night and fell outside the defense line more than ten kilometers away. Suddenly, the fire ahead shot into the sky, and explosions continued to boom.

"A large number of wild beasts appeared in the direction of eleven o'clock, and they are close to the defense line."

"A large number of beasts appeared in the twelve o'clock direction and are close to the defense line."

"A large number of wild beasts appeared in one direction, and they are close to the defense line."

"A large number of beasts appeared in the direction of two o'clock, and they are close to the defense line."
