Chapter 342 Yan Nannan's trick
ps: (Thanks to Guanghui Charter friends for their rewards! The second update is delivered today!)
"Junior Sister Yiran, how are Senior Brother Jiang?" Jiang Chen's bedroom door was filled with cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Sect who came to visit. Wan Liang, Bu Zheng, Wang Zihan and others were standing in front...
"Senior brother is seriously injured and loses too much blood. Fortunately, the arrow is slightly off and does not shoot the central organ. But even so, if he had not practiced the demon cultivation technique and his physique is much stronger than that of ordinary monks, he would have basically died this time. To be honest, I have never seen any ghost cultivator with a strong body like him. Even among demon cultivators," Zheng Yiran sighed.
"Miss Zheng, has the city lord woken up?" Wu Xiaozhi also asked hurriedly. He was the one who cared about Jiang Chen the most because he was taken away by Jiang Chen now, and Jiang Chen's safety was also related to his life.
"I haven't woken up yet, but I'm basically in danger of life. I have given him the best healing medicine in the treasury in the city. This medicine has miraculous effects on trauma. Brother Jiang is expected to wake up early tomorrow morning and his injuries will be mostly healed." Zheng Yiran said softly.
"Well! I hope Senior Brother Jiang wakes up early! I guess the people from the Ziyin Sect will launch an attack tomorrow! We can't be without him!" Wan Liang also said with a worried look on his face.
At the same time, in the camp of the Simon Sect outside the city, Yan Nannan's face was as dark as water. Looking at the casualties and losses reports on the table, his face turned ashen.
Fifteen monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage were killed, accounting for one-quarter of the total number, eight hundred and thirty monks in the Qi Refining Stage were killed, accounting for two-fifths of the total number, and more than 20,000 boys in the Body Refining Stage were killed, accounting for one-third. In addition, a large number of wounded people were produced.
Such heavy casualties were a huge loss she had never experienced since fighting against the Tianmo Sect. Moreover, not only were there heavy casualties, but the losses of siege equipment were also very small. Most of the spirit stone cannons were damaged, and nearly one-third of the large siege equipment such as siege crashes and well railings also lost.
After paying such a great price, the results achieved were only to break the enemy's city moat formation and then injured the enemy's commander Jiang Chen.
How can this prevent Yan Nannan from going crazy?
"Tomorrow, I will go on the battle myself, no matter how much the price I pay, I will cut off Jiang Chen's dog head. At that time, I will kill Wunan City without leaving any trace!" Yan Nannan said gritting his teeth.
The monks of the Siren Sect and the commanders of several physical refiners who were sitting were looking at each other. If they fought so tragically tomorrow, it would be a big problem whether they could return to the camp safely.
"What? Are you still afraid of not being able to conquer Wunan City?" Yan Nannan also saw fear in his subordinates' eyes, and his heart became even more angry.
She said firmly: "Although we have suffered heavy losses, the Tianmo Sect has also suffered heavy losses. I see that after today's battle, more than half of them have suffered casualties. Moreover, the soldiers we used for attack tomorrow are all physical training soldiers who have not been put into battle today. After several days of rest and rest, they are waiting for their hard work. However, the enemy is exhausted. We will definitely be able to win and lose in one battle tomorrow!"
"Great Elder! We are not worried that we will not be able to capture the enemy's city tomorrow. But in this way, our only capital will be enough to make all our money, so it is hard for the sect leader to explain it!" Sheng Guangshi said with a worried look on his face.
Although he was not a monk, he was one of the few general-level body refiners in the Corpse Yin Sect. His strength was definitely comparable to that of the mid-stage foundation-building cultivators. During the daytime battle, his troops suffered the most heavy losses, and several captains who were trusted as their confidants died in battle, which made him heartbroken.
"Yes! The Great Elder. The Sect Master sent someone to send a message a few days ago, saying that the Tianmo Sect had left heavy troops to guard the Tianmo Sect. The Sect Master Tu Junde and the strongest peak master of the Tianmo Eight Peaks, Ancestor Tianyou, are all here to stay. After we have solved the enemy in Wunan City, we will go south to support him as soon as possible, otherwise we may not be able to complete the north-south attack plan agreed with the Blood Shadow Sect." An old man with two long beards hurriedly reminded. He was one of the two late-stage foundation-building cultivators who confronted Jiang Chen in Baitian. A guardian of the Corpse Yin Sect, named Tan Liang.
Yan Nannan naturally knew that his brother had sent someone to ask for help from her long ago. Otherwise, she would not have gone through so much trouble and spent a lot of money to buy these heavy siege equipment. But now it seems that the emergence of Jiang Chen's variable not only disrupted all her plans, but also made the carefully prepared southward support operation possible for a premature death.
Because she definitely did not dare to go south even if she had not captured Wunan City. At that time, if the army of Tianmo Sect in Wunan City attacked from behind her or attacked the mountain gate of the Siyin Sect that had already been plotted on the empty city, she would be unable to deal with it.
Moreover, even if she captured Wunan City and wiped out all the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect in the north, if her losses were too serious, she would be unable to support Yan Nantian, resulting in her defeat at the Heavenly Demon City. If the army of the Heavenly Demon Sect counterattacked, the victory she had achieved before would be shattered.
Thinking of this, Yan Nannan felt a little irritable and uneasy. She raised her phoenix eyes and said to the leaders sitting in the big tent: "Then can you have a clever plan for the current situation? How can we not only make our army suffer little losses, but also capture Wunan City as soon as possible, so that we can have the spare energy to go south to support the main force of the sect leader."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and thought to themselves that the enemy in the city was so tenacious, it would be almost impossible to capture the city without paying a heavy price. Especially when the enemy's commander Jiang Chen was so powerful and his spirit stone cannon was extremely accurate. It would be like dreaming to take down Wunan City without bloodshed.
The tent was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling. A large group of foundation-building cultivators in the Corpse Yin Sect and several war-level body refiners all looked frowning, and everyone was silent and dared not speak.
Seeing this, Yan Nannan was also slightly angry. He thought to himself that if you guys hadn't encouraged me to find the formation master and buy heavy siege equipment, how could I lead the personal guards to leave alone? How could I give Jiang Chen the opportunity to break through each of them? Now facing this dangerous situation, everyone is a turtle.
Just as she glanced slightly and was about to shout loudly, an old man with a gray beard came out and spoke: "Great Elder, Chi came up with a plan! He could defeat Jiang Chen without bloodshed and seize Wunan City!"
Yan Nannan looked closely and saw that this person was Chi Shangwu, one of the guardians who had played against Jiang Chen in Bai Tian. At that time, he released the crystal wall and blocked Jiang Chen's black ants, but later it was still corroded by the formic acid sprayed out by the black ants queen, and his efforts were in vain.
She immediately laughed and said, "Dao Kuang just keeps saying it! If it really works, I will definitely give you a great reward!"
Chi Shangwu was also overjoyed and bowed and said, "During the day today, Chi and the enemy chief Jiang Chen fought on the tower of Wunan City. They found that this man was extremely brave and tenacious, and he even took the lives of his subordinates. He even took him to put himself in danger... At that time, he saw us put down a large number of iron armor and scattered corpses and attacked his subordinates who were guarding the city, knowing that they could not resist. So he took his corpse servant and demon insect to fight dozens of us alone..."
Yan Nannan heard him say patiently for a long time, frowned and said angrily: "Dashi Chi, what do you mean? I mean that I don't care about my subordinates' lives. Let them die?"
Chi Shangwu was shocked and quickly defended: "How dare I criticize the Great Elder... I mean, we can use Jiang Chen's weakness of loyalty to induce him to fight with the Great Elder again. As long as the Great Elder is in front of his subordinates, he claims to reduce casualties between the monks and physical trainers on both sides. I believe that Jiang Chen will fight with the Great Elder without hesitation... Otherwise, he will become a hypocrite who pretends to act in a pretended manner in the mind of his subordinates."
After hearing this, Tan Liang slapped his thigh and said happily: "The plan of protecting the Dharma is very wonderful. On that day, Jiang Chen proposed to fight with Elder Mu, and he claimed that he was thinking about his subordinates' lives. Then he proposed that he would surrender if he lost. If he won, he would just need Elder Mu to promise to let them go..."
"The cultivators and body refiners in the city are so desperate. I guess they have something to do with Jiang Chen's move. They think they have found a commander worthy of loyalty. But if Jiang Chen did not dare to fight the elder alone at this moment, his subordinates would have doubted whether his previous actions were acting because they were sure to beat Elder Mu. They deliberately said so righteously!"
Chi Shangwu nodded, and a sinister smile appeared on his face and said, "In this way, Jiang Chen had to accept the request for duels, then defeat and surrender; and not accept the request for duels, which led to his subordinates' suspicion of him, his morale plummeted, and he would eventually lose... Choose one of the two options. But no matter which one is chosen, it can reduce casualties and ultimately win!"
After Chi Shangwu spoke out this plan, all the monks of the Corpse Yin Sect present cheered loudly. They seemed to see the dawn of victory waving to them. After all, Yan Nannan is no better than Mu Tiezhu. Not only has her cultivation reached the middle stage of the Golden Pill, but her magic weapons and magical powers are far superior to her husband. Jiang Chen was able to defeat Mu Tiezhu by relying on the Black Ant Queen, but it is difficult for him to defeat Yan Nannan by relying on this demon insect.
Only the body refiner commander Sheng Guangshi said with some concern: "It is certainly good to win the duel! But what if Jiang Chen wins? Although the Great Elder has a deep magical cultivation and amazing magical powers, Jiang Chen is really too tricky..."
After hearing this, Tan Liang's face changed: "What? Sheng Guangshi, do you actually suspect that the Great Elder cannot beat Jiang Chen?"
"Yes! The Great Elder is a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, and his magical powers are amazing. Even ordinary late-stage Jindan cultivator may not beat her, let alone Jiang Chen, a small mid-stage foundation-building cultivator!"
"That's it! Commander Sheng, you are a body refiner, not a monk. You don't know how much the difference in level between monks will have on the outcome of the battle!"
"Commander Sheng, I believe that your charge during the day will cause too much loss to Jiang Chen, which will scare Jiang Chen! Hahaha!"
A group of foundation-building cultivators from the Siren Sect were extremely mocking at Sheng Guangshi. They looked down on the body refiners and thought how these mortals could be alongside the cultivators. Now, Sheng Guangshi questioned this strategy they unanimously agreed upon, which was naturally extremely sarcastic.
Sheng Guangshi blushed and hurriedly defended: "I am not questioning the strength of the elder, but Jiang Chen always has some unexpected tricks, like their extremely accurate spirit stone cannon, we still haven't figured out what's going on..."
