SWNOVELXO Chapter 160: The Luo Family is Nothing Special? Time to Break the City!_1
After laying down the map in his hands,
Luo Ping stopped thinking about the problem with the Miao Family of Chenguan Prefecture.
No matter if the Miao Family simply disregarded the Luo Family, or if they...
Were hoping to gamble that the Luo Family wouldn't be able to breach the gates of Chenguan Prefecture.
Regardless of the reason, the Luo Family's offensive would not stop for any reason.
"Luo Mountain Prefecture..."
"Changping Prefecture..."
"Chenguan Prefecture..."
"If we can connect the lands of these three prefectures, the momentum of the Luo Family will be firmly established."
"By then, let alone Qingcheng Prefecture or Changqing Prefecture."
"Even Feng Wumian, the New Emperor who controls two prefectures..."
"Might not be out of reach for us to compete with."
...
Time flew swiftly by.
In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.
During this month, many events had taken place within the Da Feng Dynasty.
The Miao Family of Chenguan Prefecture, near Changli Prefecture, and the Ke Family from Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family, decided to join forces to attack Changli Prefecture.
It seemed as if they wanted to divide this territory between themselves.
Besides the affairs of Changli Prefecture,
The Luo Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture had by this time taken complete control of Changping Prefecture.
At this moment, Luo Mountain Prefecture, Changping Prefecture.
The two prefectures had already become connected as one.
The territory under the Luo Family had increased from thirteen counties to fourteen.
Of course, after taking over Changping Prefecture, the Luo Family did not choose to stop.
On the contrary, they mobilized a large army and kept pressing towards the direction of the Miao Family of Chenguan Prefecture.
In response, the Miao Family of Chenguan Prefecture had no other move but to defend.
The Luo Family, on their part, sustained almost a month of relentless attacks.
...
Da Feng Dynasty.
The border of the Miao Family in Chenguan Prefecture.
At this time, a grand army of more than eight hundred thousand, which boasted a number of one million, was silently stationed in this place.
And within this camp, in the tent of the commanding general,
Luo Yong, the person in control of this army,
was sitting silently in the chief seat at this time.
While quietly gazing into the distance, he gently wiped the treasured sword in his hand.
His expression seemed rather calm,
but within this calmness, there was a hint of helplessness mixed in.
Chenguan Prefecture, Miao Family.
Their domain encompassed nine counties.
Overall, within the entire Da Feng Dynasty, it could only be considered a mid-tier prefecture at best, and not one of the greater prefectures.
The comprehensive strength of the Miao Family in Chenguan Prefecture,
also wasn't considered a top-tier family power within the dynasty.
Even to call them mid-tier was somewhat of an overestimation.
Luo Yong, the commander of this grand army, had initially thought that such an average prefecture would only require at most half a month to force open the gates of the Miao Family's Chenguan Prefecture.
Then, using another half a month's time,
he would be able to take advantage of the breach he created,
marching straight in, directly taking over one county city after another that originally belonged to the Miao Family.
However, while the idea was good,
the reality seemed to differ from Luo Yong's expectations.
...
Chenguan Prefecture, Miao Family.
Weak comprehensive strength, this is a fact.
But the Chenguan Prefecture has difficult terrain, making it easy to defend and hard to attack.
No matter how large the army you bring,
at any one time, probably no more than twenty thousand can be arranged to confront the Miao Family.
This is an undeniable fact as well.
Therefore, it has resulted in
the Luo Family being unable to make any effective progress for a long time.
During this period, Luo Yong did consider using high-end military power to forcefully open the gates of Chenguan Prefecture.
But upon careful consideration, he would realize
the feasibility was not great.
Mortal cultivators have five stages:
The first is Skin Refinement.
The second is Bone Refinement.
The third is Organ Refinement.
The fourth is Blood Cultivation.
The fifth is Mortal Transcendence.
Presently, within this army, the one with the highest cultivation level was Luo Qingshan, who had reached the Organ Refinement Late Stage.
Below Blood Cultivation, Luo Qingshan's combat power was almost unbeatable.
But there's a premise:
That the enemy is willing to directly confront you.
If the enemy just wants to defend the city and is not willing to engage in one-on-one combat,
then even if the high-end military power of the Luo Family can overwhelm the Miao Family of Chenguan Prefecture, it would be of no use!
Could it be that you want Luo Qingshan, who is at the Organ Refinement Late Stage, to climb up ladders,
little by little, to conquer each of the Miao Family's stout fortress walls at the border of Chenguan Prefecture?
That, of course, is impossible.
Although Luo Qingshan is strong, he is not an Immortal Realm Cultivator who can traverse walls or span a hundred miles in one step.
The cultivators of the Mortal Realm, even at the final stage of Mortal Transcendence, are still mortal in body.
A moment of carelessness, a lack of vigilance,
will eventually lead to death by someone else's hand.
Of course, if one covers oneself with the force of Qi and Blood,
they can indeed achieve a state of invulnerability to swords and guns, an unbreakable body.
But Qi-Blood force is not infinite.
A bit of Qi-Blood used is a bit less available.
This force, on the battlefield, is the lifeline of Mortal Realm cultivators.
It's not something to use carelessly.
...
"Let's discuss, what should we do?"
Luo Yong looked at Luo Qing sitting in front of him, as well as the big bluffer, Tang Jian, warming himself by the stove.
After a moment of silence,
he inquired softly to the two.
"Chenguan Prefecture, this area is strategically difficult, easy to defend and hard to attack."
