Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

The unsuppressed anger was burning and spreading, and was finally released at a certain point.

"Damn it, they really dare to come out here to deal with us. They are crazy."

After a short pause, the big shopkeeper continued to roar and shouted: "You're not crazy. Such a large-scale operation will never be impulsive. They are fully prepared, and they have prepared for at least one day."

The always calm big shopkeeper was in a completely different state from before, which even made Rouge and Nitang feel a little strange. Even if they don't want to admit it from the bottom of their hearts, the current state of the big shopkeeper is obviously one of panic.

At this moment, the big shopkeeper really started to lose his sense of proportion, and the reason for this result was far from anger, but the same lack of experience as most of the Lin family's warriors.

For countless years, the entire Lin family has carefully hidden themselves and refused to let the outside world know their existence. They are developing quietly and covertly, secretly launching their own plans.

The benefits brought by this have prevented the Lin family from being affected by other families in these years. Even though earth-shaking turmoil occurred in the Xuanwu Imperial City, all super aristocratic families and large families and forces were involved. While each family suffered varying degrees of damage, the Lin family successfully escaped it all.

To survive and develop in this way, although it cannot be said to be cut off from the outside world, people in the family from high to low still close themselves off, or limit themselves.

Ordinary low-level warriors lack real combat experience. They are only trained in small methods such as spying and stealing. Instead, they lack upright combat experience.

Low-level warriors lack these, and the middle- and high-level warriors of the family also lack leadership experience. During the battle in the west side street of the city, Shuguan and Shujiang would just order their men to fight regardless of the cost, throwing out all the cards in their hands without a plan, let alone any strategy.

Although the big shopkeeper often makes plans on weekdays, he considers various contingency measures after a foreign enemy invades, even before a battle occurs. But all this was just a plan, and he had never had a real confrontation.

Now the warriors of Su Wang Guo's three families are launching an attack. Although the big shopkeeper doesn't want to admit it, he is already panicking in his heart. Even Rouge and Nitang could consider the issue, but he actually ignored it and without hesitation began to mobilize people from other places to support the first defeated defense line in the south.

It wasn't until the east and west sides came under attack that the big shopkeeper suddenly realized that the enemy was capable of doing this, as long as the three families mobilized almost all their warriors.

The anger was fueled by panic, but after the anger was vented, it brought more panic and fear. At this time, the big shopkeeper's mind turned blank.

On the contrary, Guest Minister Yanzhi had calmed down a long time ago. He had been thinking secretly about something just now. At this time, he said softly: "There is no need for the big shopkeeper to be angry. Since they are coming, let them come. The peripheral defense is of course important, but it's just us. It's just a barrier.

Have you forgotten that in this vast city, we have an even bigger barrier, which people like them are absolutely unable to shake. "

The big shopkeeper, whose mind was very confused, couldn't think of any countermeasures at all. When he heard Rouge's voice, it was like a sound of nature ringing in his ears. It seemed like a stream of clear water was injected into his mind instantly, and the eyes that were occupied by anger gradually became calmer.

"You mean to ask me to give up the outer defense?" The big shopkeeper asked softly while turning to look at Rouge.

"Naturally, they will not give up resistance completely. Since the enemy wants to attack, they must pay a huge price. Not only can they not give up now, but they must also hold on to the end and not retreat even half a step."

Rouge said with a smile. She was still able to remain calm, but after hearing his words, the mud pond on the side could not calm down no matter what.

"Grand Manager, Yanzhi's method can certainly weaken the opponent, but our losses will definitely be greater. The defense in the south has been exhausted one after another. Even if warriors are transferred to the east and west sides, morale will not be restored after all.

At present, some strong men on the east and west sides have been transferred away. The enemy is taking advantage of the emptiness to come in, making the situation on both sides even more precarious. At this time, we should order everyone to retreat and shrink the defense as much as possible, so that most of the strength can be preserved and we can look for suitable opportunities to launch a counterattack. "

Nitang couldn't help but say that he, like Yanzhi, had not lost his composure, so he understood that Yanzhi's approach was using the lives of his own warriors to consume the opponent's strength. The cost of this approach was too high, and it was obvious that the gain was not worth the loss.

Looking at the mud pond with frowning eyebrows, the shopkeeper felt a little shaken again. Yanzhi glanced at the mud pond coldly, and suddenly interrupted: "We can't evacuate. We must not evacuate people at this time, otherwise disaster will not be far away."

"Scaremongering, you and I are both guests. Normally I don't care if you compete with me for credit. But at this moment of life and death, how dare you make such a suggestion that harms your own fundamentals."

Ni Tang's face was slightly cold, and he yelled angrily with a stern voice. He had long been dissatisfied with Yan Zhi, but he ignored her at such a critical moment and finally turned his back completely.

Regarding Ni Tang's words, Yanzhi smiled instead of getting angry, and said with a sarcastic tone: "Perhaps your usual methods are really good, but whose guest are you now, and who is in charge of this vast city? Are you standing in the big city?" On the shopkeeper’s side, or on the other side?”

Faced with this kind of questioning, Ni Tang's face turned red and white, and he was trembling with anger. He roared and said, "What do you mean? I have never had any dissatisfaction with the big shopkeeper and the Lin family. I proposed to have people withdraw, and that's also true." In order to eliminate all the enemies, you actually spit out blood and humiliate me for colluding with Su Wang Guo San's family. What a vicious intention."

As soon as Ni Tang finished speaking, the big shopkeeper already stretched out his hand and said, "Yanzhi, you are going too far. Ni Tang is a bit rigid, but I absolutely believe in his loyalty. No matter how powerful Su Wang Guo Sanjia is, , I have a greater advantage in Kuocheng, and I don’t believe that Nitang will betray me.”

Yanzhi glanced at him with a faint smile, nodded and said, "Of course I believe that he did not seek refuge with the three families of Prince Su and Guo."

"What about you?" The big shopkeeper was even more surprised.

Raising his hand and pointing toward the south, Yanzhi said softly: "What I asked just now is because I want to know whether he is thinking about the big shopkeeper or whether he is planning for the two old guys Heng Wu Heng Liu."

Hearing this, Ni Tang was suddenly stunned. He didn't think clearly about the meaning of Yan Zhi's words. Even the big shopkeeper was a little confused and asked in surprise: "What does this matter have to do with Heng Wu Heng Liu? Those two Isn’t this old guy still organizing defense on the outside?”

The slender hand slowly raised, gently combed the hair on the temples, glanced at the big shopkeeper with a charming look, and then said slowly: "I think the big shopkeeper may have forgotten the most important thing, right?"

"The most important thing!...What's the matter?" He had no idea what Rouge was talking about. The big shopkeeper thought for a moment and then said softly: "In addition to solving the immediate trouble, of course it is to completely control Kuocheng."

Shaking his head, Yanzhi said with a bitter smile: "Big shopkeeper, at this moment, we have to consider a retreat. Although we have not really lost yet, there is still a chance to turn the situation around, but now we must consider what happens if we fail. What to do.”

After a pause, he frowned and said: "It seems a little unlucky. To put it another way, if we can resolve the crisis at hand, and after that we successfully control Kuocheng, Su Wangguo and the ghost painter will be Completely cleared, we still have to face a problem.”

Seeing the big shopkeeper's thoughtful expression, Yanzhi immediately said: "That's who will bear the responsibility for the huge losses caused during the operations before and after Kuocheng."

After hearing this, Nitang vaguely guessed something and said cut off: "Is it too early to consider this issue now? The situation is not yet stable at this time. We..."

The next words were not finished, because Ni Tang felt the cold gaze of the big shopkeeper directed at him. There was a strong murderous intent in that gaze, which made it impossible for him to say the next words no matter what.

Yanzhi specifically mentioned before that he was on the side of the big shopkeeper or on the side of the five and six. If he continued to talk, it would be equivalent to confirming Yanzhi's suspicion.

With a faint smile, Yanzhi continued: "We have evidence for the incident in the west side street of the city, and someone has already taken responsibility. Naturally, these have nothing to do with the big shopkeeper.

But now that Su Wangguo is attacking the old district in the north of the city, it is naturally difficult to let go of this responsibility. I believe that Hengwu Hengliu will never take the blame, so we can only help them. "

His eyes flickered slightly, and the shopkeeper said solemnly: "Go on."

Without hesitation, Yanzhi already spoke: "Fortunately, everyone in the clan knows the previous arrangement. The big shopkeeper is responsible for the internal area, and the people brought by Hengwu and Hengliu are responsible for the external defense.

At present, the external defense has failed. In order to prevent them from passing the responsibility back to us, the best way is not to withdraw the manpower, but to send more men to them, and directly command them by the two of them, from beginning to end. If the shopkeeper doesn't participate, then naturally he has no responsibility at all with the big shopkeeper. "

After saying these words, even the big shopkeeper himself was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yan Zhi would have such a scheme. When the situation is so critical, you can still think so long-term.

However, the big shopkeeper still asked with some worry: "But when we do this, what we use in the end is our own strength. Once the enemy really attacks."

"Does the big shopkeeper have so little confidence in our formation?" Yanzhi immediately asked.

After thinking for a moment, a faint chill flashed through the eyes of the big shopkeeper, and he said in a cold voice: "Okay, as you said, I will not only hand over the command to them, but also send them additional manpower."
