How come this mage can fight better than a warrior?

Chapter 429: The Southern Poison Sect Invasion 9

Du Buqun stood on a high mountain peak and looked at the pillar of light rising into the sky in the distance. The cold wind was biting, and Du Buqun tightly covered his newly healed wound, his face as pale as paper.

Du Buqun originally planned to lead the gods to launch a surprise attack on the Wu army at night, but when he saw the miserable appearance of the gods, he couldn't help but feel a deep despair in his heart.

These gods who were once so majestic and invincible are now covered with scars, some have incomplete limbs, and some are so seriously injured that they cannot even stand.

Du Buqun knew very well that, given the current situation, if he acted rashly, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg, and would only lead to more gods dying in vain.

After a fierce inner struggle, Du Buqun finally gave up this idea which seemed brave but was actually extremely stupid.

Recalling the thrilling battle during the day, the Wu State showed its strong strength. Except for Long Dong, the rest of the people suffered no substantial damage.

If Du Buqun and others had not retreated in time when they saw the situation was not good, the extremely ferocious Osiris would have led his army to attack long ago.

In this fierce battle, Haruf suffered a serious injury and is still in a deep coma. It is impossible for him to participate in any battle in the short term. Tang Lu lost a leg. Ruan Xing lost an arm. The fighting power of Tang Lu and Ruan Xing cannot be restored in a short time. As for the other gods, although their injuries were not as serious as Tang Lu and Ruan Xing, they also suffered different degrees of trauma.

Although Du Buqun had the gods use the panacea immediately, there were only seven gods with fighting power, including Du Buqun. It was obvious that the seven gods did not have much chance of winning against Osiris and his men.

Moreover, after Du Buqun was attacked by Long Dong and Osiris, his strength had not fully recovered. After the battle during the day, Du Buqun's injuries were even worse. Du Buqun's current combat power was only 70% at most.

Attacking Wu was a risky move for Du Buqun. He wanted to win by attacking Wu unexpectedly and seize a large amount of precious resources owned by Wu. However, judging from the current situation, Du Buqun's decision did not seem wise.

The magic weapons equipped by the Wu army were very sophisticated. Although the troops led by Du Buqun to attack Wu were all elite among the elite, when they actually clashed with the Wu army, they found that there was not much difference between the two sides.

The Wu army not only responded quickly, but also used flexible tactics. The Wu army played to its strengths and avoided its weaknesses, making full use of the excellent performance characteristics of the magic vehicles and successfully achieved highly flexible mobile combat capabilities.

The magical weapons in Wu Jun's hands can also steadily curb the fierce and fierce offensive momentum of the Southern Poison Sect's army, making it difficult for the other side to easily break through their own defense line.

The elite army of the Southern Poison Sect did not gain much advantage against the army of the Wu Kingdom. In today's battle, the Wu army took the initiative to attack. The Southern Poison Sect set up an ambush. The Wu army relied on the power of magic weapons to fight the Southern Poison Sect's army to a 50-50 draw.

But a fifty-fifty split was unacceptable to the Southern Poison Sect. As time went on, the disadvantage of the Southern Poison Sect's army without follow-up support gradually emerged. The Southern Poison Sect's army became smaller and smaller as they fought. On the contrary, the Wu army became stronger and stronger as they fought.

As Du Buqun expected, Long Dong quickly mobilized 100,000 troops from other parts of Wu State to support the southern border in order to annihilate the elite forces of the Southern Poison Sect. Long Dong also transferred Tang Biao, a fierce general guarding the northern border, to the front line battlefield.

Tang Biao is good at commanding corps-level battles. Facing the elite army of the Southern Poison Sect, now is a good opportunity for Tang Biao to show his skills.

Tang Biao expressed great appreciation and approval for the series of tactics and strategic guidelines that Long Dong had formulated. Of course, even if he had some different opinions in his heart, Tang Biao would never dare to express them in front of Long Dong.

After fully understanding the situation of the war, Tang Biao quickly proposed a series of new combat strategies. After careful consideration, Long Dong and Tang Biao unanimously decided to adopt a round-robin battle plus an ambush from all sides. Zhou Xuenong and others praised the new combat strategy and expressed their high recognition of this set of tactical arrangements.

With Tang Biao, a wise and brave general, by Long Dong's side to assist him in commanding the army, Long Dong can finally let go and deal with the ten gods of the Southern Poison Sect!

The newly arrived 100,000-man army immediately joined the battle. Under the excellent command of the commander Long Dong, the formidable elite army of the Southern Poison Sect continued to suffer heavy blows and losses. Faced with such an unfavorable situation, Du Buqun also began to become a little anxious.

At this moment, Du Buqun was extremely eager to use the elite forces of the Southern Poison Sect to engage in a life-and-death battle with the Wu army.

However, Long Dong, as the supreme commander, was as steady as a rock. Long Dong firmly controlled the entire battlefield situation. Tang Biao, who nominally assisted Long Dong but was actually responsible for the battle command, did not give Du Buqun and Nan Du Zong any chance to take advantage of.

After days of fighting, the elite troops of the Southern Poison Sect lost nearly 20,000 men. Including the 18,000 casualties caused by the Wu army under Long Dong's personal command some time ago, the cumulative loss of the elite troops of the Southern Poison Sect has reached nearly 40,000 men!

Such a huge loss was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the elite army of the Southern Poison Sect. Its overall strength was severely weakened and the situation was already precarious.

The Wu army's tactics were fierce and fierce, like a violent storm. Such fierce tactics overwhelmed the Southern Poison Sect's army. The Southern Poison Sect's army was defeated and even forced into a desperate situation where they could not retreat.

Although the wheel tactics successfully consumed a large number of elite troops of the Southern Poison Sect, at the same time, the Wu army itself was exhausted by the continuous high-intensity fighting.

Now there are only two options for the Southern Poison Sect: one is to go all out and find a way to have a final battle with the Wu army; the other is to wait for destruction...

If they win, the Southern Poison Sect will gain resources to recover. If they lose, the Southern Poison Sect will be completely defeated, with disastrous consequences and even the possibility of being destroyed.

Long Dong did not want to let go of the elite army of the Southern Poison Sect. In order to force Du Buqun to make up his mind to fight a decisive battle with the Wu Kingdom, Long Dong took the risk and exposed many treasuries and other important resource points in the south of the Wu Kingdom to Du Buqun.

At the same time, Tang Biao also commanded Wu Jun to deliberately reveal a huge flaw. Tang Biao did this to make Du Buqun misjudge, so that Du Buqun mistakenly believed that he had finally ushered in a great opportunity to defeat Wu Jun in one fell swoop and win a great victory.

Although Long Dong and Tang Biao could not be sure whether Du Buqun would make up his mind to fight a decisive battle with Wu Jun, Long Dong and Tang Biao had already made all preparations for the decisive battle.

It is worth mentioning that after Xueshen and Ruoxi became god-level masters, Long Dong was not in a hurry to make the news public. Long Dong knew that once Du Buqun knew that Wu State suddenly had two more god-level masters, he would probably be afraid and give up the decisive battle.

What made Long Dong happy was that after repeated weighing and careful consideration, Du Buqun finally couldn't resist the temptation and pressure, and resolutely chose to challenge Wu Jun again.

After a period of recuperation and adjustment, the strength of six god-level warriors under Du Buqun was almost restored. After repeated consideration, Du Buqun decided to find an opportunity to start a life-and-death battle with Wu Jun.

The temptation thrown by Long Dong is too great. The countless resources can allow the Southern Poison Sect to squander them at will for many years! This extreme temptation is really hard to resist.

Du Buqun thought that as long as the elite army of the Southern Poison Sect could successfully defeat the Wu army, they would gain a large amount of precious resources from the Wu Kingdom. These resources would be enough to greatly enhance the strength of the Southern Poison Sect.

More importantly, after obtaining these resources, the Southern Poison Sect will be able to repel the aggressive Western Demon Sect, thus ensuring the status and safety of the Southern Poison Sect.

Faced with such a huge temptation, Du Buqun also experienced a fierce struggle deep in his heart. After all, the outcome of this war was unpredictable, and the slightest mistake could lead to the entire Southern Poison Sect falling into an irretrievable situation.

After much deliberation, Du Buqun decided to give it a try. However, Du Buqun did not expect that this seemingly brave and fearless gamble would directly bury all the foundation accumulated by the Southern Poison Sect over thousands of years on this bloody and cruel battlefield.
