"Actually, I still don't understand. If these 50,000 Underworld soldiers had entered the city earlier, wouldn't they have suffered lesser losses?" Xinhai said doubtfully.
"That might not be the case. The reason why they didn't enter the city might be because they were afraid of being discovered by Hades. In addition, if these reinforcements had entered the city earlier and Hades found out, they wouldn't have used such a small number of troops to attack the city.
Perhaps, they might have gathered enough troops to attack the city from the start. If that's the case, Mount Wu Lai's losses might not be lesser than now. It might even be more than now.
At the same time, if Hades had sent a large number of troops to attack the city earlier, Mount Wu Lai's garrison might not be able to wait for the 150,000 reinforcements to arrive. The reason why these 50,000 reinforcements did this was to buy time for the 150,000 reinforcements.
Hades knew that there weren't many soldiers in the city so they used a smaller number of troops to attack the city. This way, Mount Wu Lai's garrison might have suffered some losses but compared to Hades, the losses were much smaller. "Chen Hongyuan explained.
"What you said seems to make some sense. Seems like Mount Wu Lai is much smarter than I thought. 150,000 soldiers were used up by them just like that. However, if I were the governor of Hades, I wouldn't care so much. I would just attack with all my troops and take down Sun Moon City first. Who cares how many soldiers they need?
At least entering the city would be much safer than being outside. In addition, Sun Moon City's defense is so good. Even if Mount Wu Lai's reinforcements came, they might not be able to withstand a single blow.
At least if Mount Wu Lai wanted to attack Sun Moon City, they would definitely have to pay a heavy price! "Xinhai said.
"You're right. Based on the current situation, Mount Wu Lai's reinforcements are intentionally stalling for time. They used Sun Moon City as a bait to let Sun Moon City deplete their Underworld Army.
If Hades wasn't so careless, they might not even try to take advantage of the situation and directly attack the city. Even if Mount Wu Lai had 200,000 reinforcements, the outcome would still be unpredictable. "Cheng Yu nodded.
"Heh heh. But this is also good. If Hades really managed to take down Sun Moon City, wouldn't we have to help them take back Sun Moon City? This time, the Underworld's 150,000-strong army is basically here. I believe that this should be a significant blow and loss for the Underworld! "Xin Hai laughed.
That's true. If Mount Wu Lai can always compete with Hades at this level, then this might really be a protracted war Cheng Yu said.
Actually, they were quite worried that Mount Wu Lai would not be able to defend Sun Moon City, especially when they saw how tragic the battle at the North Gate was. However, the 50,000 reinforcements at the East Gate did not make a move. They thought that the reinforcements were too cowardly and did not dare to help.
From the looks of it now, they were indeed quite smart. He felt that finding Mount Wu Lai as his breakthrough point in dealing with the Underworld could be considered a success.
However, he still felt that it was impossible for them to continue fighting like this for a long time. Unfortunately, time was getting shorter and shorter. It was no longer possible for him to find more Wild Ghost Kings to exhaust the Underworld's strength.
Outside the North Gate of Sun Moon City, the battle of hundreds of thousands of soldiers did not last as long as expected. This was because the Underworld had already lost everything in this war. Whether it was the weather or the geographical advantage, they had already lost everything. Even the morale of the Underworld Army had fallen again and again.
As for the 200,000 reinforcements from Mount Wu Lai, this caused the morale of Mount Wu Lai's ghost soldiers to rise to the highest. Under such circumstances, it was really difficult for the Underworld to hold on.
Therefore, in the end, the Underworld Army was completely annihilated.
Following that, Mount Wu Lai quickly cleaned up the battlefield and the entire army returned to the city. That day, the entire Sun Moon City was immersed in a sea of victory. Cheers could be heard everywhere.
After this battle, Mount Wu Lai could finally be considered to have gained a foothold in Sun Moon City and become the true master of Sun Moon City.
Originally, there were 70,000 guards in Sun Moon City. Because they were defending the city, the Underworld Army did not suffer too many losses during the first attack. However, during the second attack, because the number of Underworld Army had increased greatly, it caused them to suffer a lot of casualties. More than 20,000 died.
Later on, the Underworld had decided to attack the city with all their might. Although this process was very short, they had lost more than 10,000 soldiers. In the end, more soldiers had died during the battle outside the city. Therefore, after the battle, Mount Wu Lai's original army was only left with around 30,000 soldiers.
Although Mount Wulai's 200,000 reinforcements had the upper hand, the Underworld still had a complete army of around 80,000 to 90,000 soldiers at the time. Even though the battle was one-sided, they still lost around 20,000 to 30,000 ghost soldiers in the end.
Therefore, Mount Wu Lai was left with around 200,000 soldiers in Sun Moon City. Although they had also lost around 70,000 soldiers, they had also killed a hundred and fifty thousand soldiers from the Underworld. That was double the number of soldiers they had lost.
Based on this calculation, this battle could be considered a great success.
However, Mount Wu Lai's army did not calm down in Sun Moon City. They knew that the Underworld would not let this matter rest so easily. They would certainly send more soldiers to take over the city.
Even so, they had only stationed a large number of soldiers at the four gates of Sun Moon City. Then, they arranged for tens of thousands of ghost soldiers to seize the resource points that the Underworld had occupied.
It did not take long before the resources in the areas that were relatively close to Sun Moon City had basically fallen into Mount Wu Lai's hands.
Wu Jiang and the others were naturally overjoyed when they received this news. Even Second Brother Wu Heng and Third Brother Wu Chang, who had been against sending more troops to Sun Moon City, were overjoyed. They felt that sending troops this time was the right decision.
At the very least, the Underworld was not as smart as they had thought and had set their sights on Mount Wu Lai. Now that a large number of resource points had fallen into Mount Wu Lai's hands, they no longer had to worry about resources in the future.
At this time, Wu Chang had even volunteered to send more troops to Sun Moon City to prevent the Underworld from seizing the city again because of the benefits that Sun Moon City had brought to them.
Naturally, Wu Jiang was even happier when he saw this situation. As long as he had the support of his brothers, it would be easier for them to fight against the Underworld in the future.
He knew very well that after this battle, the Underworld would never let Mount Wu Lai off so the brothers had to work together. However, they were not afraid of the Underworld. Now that they had enough resources, they could continue to recruit more soldiers.
Even though they had lost seventy to eighty thousand soldiers in this battle, as long as they were given more time to send these resources back, they would soon be able to make up for their losses. At the same time, they would be able to recruit even more soldiers and their power would only grow stronger.
