The Fifth Ring cultivators were preparing to move out!
Without the fastest Swordsman army, the Swordsman army formed by the Firmament Sword Sect and Weijian Mountain was very weak. It was difficult for them to take on any attack independently! Due to the lack of numbers, even if they pierced through the enemy's formation, they lacked the strength to follow up. They did not have enough strength to deal with the insect swarm, winged beasts, and void beasts.
Since they could not be used as a strategic force, they could only be used as a tactical force together with the main army! They had no choice but to be responsible for opening up the situation in a large army battle.
Compared to the previous Fifth Ring war, the strength of the Fifth Ring army was much weaker this time! They were short of 40 Sun Gods, more than 20%; the sharpest blade was not here! There were also no reinforcements from their home planets!
However, if the Immemorial Beasts and the Sun Top Group were added into the mix, it was hard to say whether their strength would increase or decrease!
Without Xuanyuan's strategic force, the tactics available to the Fifth Ring army were greatly limited. This was an unavoidable fact. Their tactics could only deviate from the Daoist's most preferred strategy!
In other words, they could only place their opponents closer. Otherwise, they would not be able to fight in the field and defend their home planets at the same time!
As the commander of the Fifth Ring army, the pressure on Wushang Changjin was huge! However, with his experience, he still found a few weaknesses in the enemy's approach!
There were no human cultivators strategizing among them! The cultivators from the Heng River Boundary did not come! This was very easy to understand. In the formation of any army, the part directly led by the commander should be the strongest. Otherwise, how could they convince the others?
Both sides had their reasons. Between the chicken and the duck, who had the most weight? Of course, the strongest had the most right to speak! Especially in such a non-human battle group!
It was useless even if they came, they might as well not come! It was impossible for the Heng River Boundary to send an army to the Fifth Ring!
This situation was qualitatively different from the previous Fifth Ring war! Last time, the humans and Buddhists were mobilized as a whole. Their attacks and defenses were strict and they could advance and retreat with ease. However, it was completely different this time!
The second situation was that a large portion of the enemies were void beasts! Void beasts viewed the human domain as a forbidden area. The air that humans breathed was poison to them, so in reality, it was impossible for void beasts to enter the Fifth Ring. This was an opportunity that could be exploited.
After much deliberation, Old Chang Jin came to a conclusion. "The way I see it, the five-ringed enemy is only there to harass and restrain them! They didn't have the confidence to take down the Fifth Ring, so they were only pretending to be aggressive! This was the first!
Secondly, the enemy's cooperation with each other was rusty, and there were no humans in the middle to command them. Before the battle started, they could still bluff, but when the battle really started, their true colors would be revealed!
They took advantage of our lack of strength, and Xuanyuan is far away in Qing Kong, so they dared to harass us with such a motley crew! "
He looked at the crowd and said sternly, "The main battlefield is at Heng River! We can't go too far!
The dangerous battlefield was in the Green Sky Continent, and it would definitely be the first place to start the battle. Therefore, it was useless to go there now!
Why don't we focus here and fight a satisfying battle of annihilation! "
No one opposed him. This was actually the wish of almost all the fifth-ring forces! They wanted to fight more confidently and freely, to have a bigger appetite, and to be more unrestrained!
Why should they be shocked by the enemy's huge numbers? When had the five-ringed battle ever paid attention to the enemy's numbers? Not to mention the cooperation of the immemorial beasts and Yang Ding! If they didn't dare to devour the enemy, they wouldn't be worthy of being five-ringed!
Chang Jin glared and shouted, "The key is to lure the enemy into the battlefield that we have set up! Don't think about whether you can devour them or not! Once the situation is chaotic, they will have to bite each other!
Feigning defeat to lure the enemy is the most ancient tactic, and also the most practical one! If we use it cleverly, we can create a situation of annihilation! The enemy is just a bunch of barbaric beasts who drink raw meat and drink blood. With the intelligence of humans, can't we subdue them?
Charge more fiercely, act more arrogantly, and speak more viciously. These are your specialties!
Let's set up a pocket for them! Even if we are restraining the battlefield, we have to fight with the momentum of a decisive battle! If we really annihilate these beasts, who would dare to say that we are just dividing the battlefield? "
Everyone's blood boiled when they heard this, and they agreed in unison! To them, the current situation was the most unbearable one. Heng River was too far away, and they couldn't go! They couldn't make an accurate judgment on the Blue Sky and the Five Rings! There was no reason to give up everyone's base and focus on the mother planet of the Blue Sky!
You couldn't be emotional in war, you had to be rational!
Chang Jin was indeed an old fox that had lived for thousands of years. With just a few words, he made the originally gloomy atmosphere more lively and pushed the momentum to the extreme!
With such a contrast between the enemy and themselves, it wasn't difficult to defeat the enemy. Perhaps it was because of this reason that the people of Heng River were equipped with guerilla races that were best at roaming the void of the universe. The winged people, Zerg, and the void beasts, which one of them didn't roam the void their entire lives?
The difficult part was to annihilate them! It required planning, the environment, a sufficient appetite, and the courage to soar to the heavens! Because once they couldn't encircle or devour the enemy, the one to collapse might be the power of the Five Rings!
If it was ten times the number, encircle it, and if it was ten times the number, attack it. The military principles of mortals were also useful in some aspects in the cultivation world!
Even with the help of the Immemorial Beast Yang Dingren, the Five Rings didn't have an advantage in numbers against the massive swarm of insects and beasts. They didn't even have an advantage in numbers, let alone ten times!
Tong Yan clapped her hands. "That's feasible! This time, only two insect nests came, and there are only a few thousand winged people … The problem is the choice of environment! There aren't any dangerous encirclements around the Five Rings. Even if there were, the beasts wouldn't really go in. Since there aren't any, we'll rely on our limited resources to set up one ourselves! "
What she said was the crux of the problem! To set up a big pocket in the void of the universe, and to a certain extent, with the help of astronomical conditions that wouldn't arouse the attention of the creatures, it was a very profound skill to contain thousands of creatures!
However, this was the method that the orthodox Taoists were best at! Whether it was the Supreme Sect, the Three Pure Ones, Temple of Heaven, or the hundreds of orthodox Taoist sects in the Five Rings, this was their old profession. However, this time, the hole had to be big enough and deep enough!
When the crowd gathered firewood, the fire would burn high, and the group of ghosts would plot a poisonous knife! Soon, an area that wasn't dangerous was chosen. The distance was just right, and it was suitable for advancing and retreating. This was a miniature galaxy made up of six small planets! As long as they put in effort to set it up, with these six small planets as the foundation, they could use arrays, artifacts, trigrams, and talismans to design a big pocket!
To the orthodox Taoists, these were the things that they didn't lack the most!
