Chapter 155: The Battle of the Heavenly Emperor (II)! Attack them halfway across the river? I will use my own tactics against them!
"Pass my demon order, the guerrilla demons suspend their attacks and gather here. We will ambush them fiercely!"

The Fire Ghost King suddenly pointed his finger at the location of Tianhe on the map and pressed it hard!
-
"Commander-in-chief, the vanguard of the army has arrived at Tianhe!"

The edge of the Thirty-three Heavens is guarded by the Milky Way. Above the water of the river, goose feathers cannot float and reed catkins will sink to the bottom. If one's magic power is insufficient, when passing over the Milky Way, one will be sucked into the river by its powerful attraction, and his body and soul will dissolve and cease to exist... Therefore, the Milky Way has become the last checkpoint leading to the heaven, and it is also the key to the transformation between mortals and immortals!
Of course, the pass mentioned here is the pass between mortals and immortals, not becoming an immortal and being above the thirty-three heavens! People with high cultivation are not troubled by the Tianhe River!

"How is the army doing?"

Xiao Lin stood up, walked out of the chariot, looked into the distance at the Milky Way-like river that separated the mortals and immortals, and asked.

"Commander-in-chief, after changing the formation, the demons have not launched any more attacks on our army!"

"you sure?"

Xiao Lin looked at the messenger Peregrine who reported in astonishment... Just by changing the formation, the demon clan gave up so easily?
"Confirmed!" Peregrine replied, "The vanguard, the two wings of the guard, and the leaders of each team have not found the demons!"

"The demons are planning to do something big!"

Xiao Lin muttered to himself...As a Chinese citizen in the previous life, I basically know a little bit about marching and deploying troops. Not to mention the various online games in the previous life, such as military chess, chess, and go, which also explain the ways of using troops.

So, when he heard Peregrine's report, combined with the fact that the demons needed time to forge magic soldiers... Xiao Lin immediately guessed the demons' plan!

The Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Demon Emperor, and all the powerful beings were waiting for Xiao Lin's order, and no one raised any opinions.

It’s not that they believe in Xiao Lin’s plan... It’s really that the Three Pure Ones’ attainment of the Tao and the two goddesses’ attainment of the Tao all have traces of Xiao Lin’s presence, and his record is too strong, so they have to believe it!

Even if he made a mistake in judging the human race, in the eyes of the Ancestral Witch and the Demon Emperor, the disappearance of a race was really not a big deal!
After all, they had seen too many lives and deaths, and too many races were destroyed before their eyes! Not to mention, hadn't Xiao Lin already determined the purpose of the demons to destroy the human race?
"Commander-in-chief, what should the army do next?"

Dijiang asked, his face full of eagerness to try.

"Get the map!"

Xiao Lin took a step back, and the guards immediately set up a long table in front of Xiao Lin and placed a sand table on it... The sand table was filled with screenshots of the army's route and the terrain ahead!

"Once we arrived outside the South Heaven Gate, there was no space at all, no cover... The only ambush location was here..."

Xiao Lin stroked the sand table and muttered thoughtfully...

"Commander, since we know where the enemy is ambushing, the Wu Clan invites you to fight!"

Di Jiang was the first to step out... The casualties of hundreds of Wu people in the vanguard camp had already made him furious! The reason he didn't move was to give face to Xiao Lin!

"The Wu Clan must not act rashly... Since I know that this place can be ambushed, how could the other party not know it? If you send troops without authorization, you will only fall into a trap."

Xiao Lin stroked the Milky Way in front of him with his fingers, full of calculations.

"Uncle Emperor, Uncle Tai!"

"My dear nephew, you have something to say!"

Di Jun replied, and Taiyi also looked like he was going to say whatever he wanted!
"If we use the Zhou Tian Xing Dou formation to carry the army across the Tianhe River, how long will it take? Can it withstand the battle?"

Di Jun thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No! Even with the power of the Zhoutian Xingdou formation and the support of the army, we can only barely cross the river..."

"After all, only those above the Golden Immortal level have the strength to resist the suction of the Heavenly River... Of the millions of troops we lead, 90% are only Earth Immortals or Heavenly Immortals. The force they have to bear is too great! Even if the Great Zhoutian Xingdou Array is driven at full power, it can only barely bear it."

Di Jun answered. Xiao Lin blinked, a little surprised. "Didn't you feel it was inconvenient when your demon race moved to the Heavenly Palace?"

"It's not inconvenient at all."

Di Jun smiled and replied, "The demon tribe does not need to migrate all at once. Each tribe also has ancestors above the Golden Immortal level to help cross the river... Compared to the trouble of migration, with the protection of a natural stream like the Tianhe River, they would rather have a little more trouble!"

"Forehead……"

Xiao Lin, who had seen the Great Wall, instantly understood what Di Jun meant... Even a powerful man like Qin Shi Huang had to build the Great Wall to guard against the Huns, right?
"What about going out to fight?"

As soon as Xiao Lin asked, he laughed at himself: "That's right, if we are worried about being ambushed when crossing the Tianhe River, then why should we go to war?"

"Yes, just like now, look at the demons, aren't they all hiding in the Heavenly Palace?"

Di Jun pointed his finger at the empty opposite bank and replied with a smile.

"My dear nephew, I think you think too much."

At this time, Taiyi came over and said, "Look at this Tianhe River, it's all in sight. The only place you can hide is inside the Tianhe River... But the Tianhe River itself has the effect of dissolving the physical body and magic power. Hiding inside it is courting death, isn't that?"

"Moreover, we have dozens of Quasi-Saints and nearly 400 Daluo escorting us along the way... We are less than ten thousand miles away from here, and there is also Yuanshi Tianzun guarding us. In secret, there are also some Daode Tianzun protecting us, so we don't need to worry about being attacked."

"In my opinion, it would be better to lead the troops directly to charge forward and attack the Heaven Palace!"

Taiyi didn't believe at all that there could be an ambush site in the endless sky in front of him, and immediately suggested it to Xiao Lin.

[As the Art of War says, attack the enemy when they are halfway across the river! ]

[Since the demons can use the self-destruction tactic, there is no reason for them to give up harassment and delay our army's strategic plan. Not to mention, given the special nature of Tianhe, once the attack is successful, it will definitely have a huge impact on the strength and morale of the coalition forces! ]

[After experiencing the incident of luring the tiger away from the mountain and actually attacking the human race, we must never underestimate the demons again! It is never too careful! ]

[Besides, it is really too risky to cross the river without any preparation. ]

After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin looked at Kunpeng: "Senior Kunpeng, what do you think is the chance of the demons setting up an ambush?"

Kunpeng thought: "Let's split it fifty-fifty! Tianhe is too special. If the other party succeeds, our losses will be huge!"

After being predicted by the demons last time, Kunpeng had remained silent in the team... He only answered when Xiao Lin asked this time. And don't offend either of them!

"Fifty percent chance? Then we must not be fooled so easily."

Xiao Lin slapped his thigh. All he wanted was support!
"Pass my order, the army stops advancing!"

"Yes!"

Hundreds of peregrine falcons flew out from the surroundings to convey the order.

Xiao Lin recalled myths and history, wars in his past life, and wondered how to cross the river...

[There are two methods now. One is to drain the water from the Tianhe River. The advantage is that you can see everything at a glance, and you don’t have to worry about ambushes. The disadvantage is that it takes too long, giving the opponent time to refine more magic soldiers! Don’t consider it! ]

[The second is to lure out the enemy... Oh, by the way, I remember that in The Investiture of the Gods, there seemed to be many cases where the Twelve Golden Immortals hid the army's tracks and helped them escape or fight? ]

[Although our army has more people, the powerful ones present are far from being comparable to the Twelve Golden Immortals! ]

Xiao Lin's eyes lit up, and he was about to ask them... However, before he could open his mouth, his master, the Supreme Daode Tianzun, descended from the sky and landed in front of him. "My disciple, Nuwa Niangniang just sent back the latest information... The demons refined the demon soldiers on the altar, which consumed nearly 4 billion humans and plundered all the calamity energy of the prehistoric world..."

"It will be ready in one day at most! By then, even the Hunyuan warriors like us will be injured! If they hit the vital points of our true spirits or primordial souls, we might even perish!"

Tai said with a serious expression…I didn’t expect that because of the special nature of the human race, the magic soldiers made of flesh, blood, and souls, even such Hunyuan powerful people like them felt threatened!

"We must not give them more time! Disciple, we must speed up!"

"Master, no."

Xiao Lin shook his head and pointed forward: "If we don't care about the Tianhe River and pass through, what if those demons come out of the river to attack us? We will be attacked from both sides. Even if we can win, it will be a miserable victory! Unless, Master, you personally take action to eliminate the worries! Find those demons who have escaped!"

"In the Tianhe River?"

Tai Shang seemed to be thinking about something, and pointed his finger into the river... Huge ripples appeared in the river, and after a moment, it returned to silence.

"The demons are indeed at the bottom of the river... it's a bit difficult!"

The Supreme withdrew his holy power, turned to Xiao Lin and said, "The Sky River can destroy magic power and spiritual consciousness... Even if I want to quickly summon someone out, I have to use nearly 30% of my power to accomplish it."

“But the river can bear the weight of the river, and the riverbank that keeps the river flowing cannot bear my power… If I use a little more powerful holy power, the riverbank will break, and the river will flood back, and the people will suffer!”

Hearing that the demons were really in the river, Taiyi's face flashed with shame and anger: "These demons, do they really have bad intentions? Do they really want to attack us halfway?"

"Then can we find the specific location where the demons are hiding?"

Kunpeng's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Of course I can... but without using my holy power, I can only investigate piece by piece... it takes too long!"

Tai Shang hesitated for a moment and gave a method that would not affect the banks of the Tianhe River.

"No, there is not enough time! The demon clan just wants to delay us and refine the demon soldiers!"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Kunpeng's eyes... If he had known this would happen, he should have trained a navy when the demons occupied the heaven!
I just wanted to use the special features of the Tianhe River as a natural ravine to block the enemy...

"I do have a plan." Seeing that everyone remained silent, Xiao Lin suddenly said, "Moreover, if this method succeeds, we might be able to enter the Heavenly Palace in advance and fight against Luohou and Hongjun!"

"What method?"

The eyes of the powerful people lit up and they asked.

"Last time, didn't the demons use the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain to trap us? This time, I will use the same strategy on them, luring the snake out of its hole and attacking from the east while making a feint to the west!"

Xiao Lin said confidently...

[Humph! In terms of intelligence and military law, my human race is the ancestor of your demon race! ]

[Thirty-Six Stratagems, Sun Tzu's Art of War... Just wait and see how I'll kill you! ]

"What's the plan?"

Kunpeng's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Simple... just do this, this, that..."

Xiao Lin lowered his voice, called all the great men to gather together, and briefly described his plan...
-
Three hours later, at the bottom of the Tianhe River... a ninth-grade black lotus blossomed at the bottom of the river, avoiding a full hundred meters of space around it, without a single drop of Tianhe real water! This was used as the hidden meeting place of the demon clan!
"Fire Ghost King, the prehistoric coalition has been at the river for nearly three hours, and there is still no movement to cross the river... Have they discovered us?"

"The spiritual treasures we use are the treasures of Lord Demon Ancestor!" The Fire Ghost King said to comfort everyone, "Moreover, the Tianhe True Water itself has the effect of eliminating spiritual consciousness. Ordinary quasi-saints cannot see our existence."

"But they still have the Supreme Heavenly Lord. What if, what if it's the saint who takes action?"

Another person raised doubts... There are five Hunyuan in the Honghuang coalition, four of them are guarding near the four major heavenly gates, and there is a Taishang who has disappeared!
"Sage takes action?"

The Fire Ghost King sneered: "Unless he wants the Heavenly River to overflow and cause a flood!"

"As long as the saint has concerns, there is no need to worry even if you are discovered!"

"With millions of troops, given the special features of Tianhe, the range that can be explored by Daluo and above is limited, and there will always be places that cannot be protected; once a flaw appears, we can cause massive casualties, cause chaos in the army, and delay time!"

“Even if a quasi-saint can open a space channel to transport people across the river, how long will it take for millions of troops to cross? We can still accomplish the task of delaying time!”

"Besides, aren't they worried that we will attack them from behind after they cross the river? If a real fight breaks out, all the powerful ones will have to fight on the front lines and won't be able to protect the rear of the army!"

"This plan is an open conspiracy!"

The Fire Ghost King said proudly that the prehistoric coalition was destined to be dragged here by them!

"As expected of you, the Demon King that Lord Demon values. Your plan is absolutely amazing!"

"If Lord Demon Ancestor can refine a demon soldier, Lord Demon King, you will be the first to receive the credit!"

"If we win this battle, our demon clan will be able to stand tall in the wilderness and be above all other creatures!"

"The Demon King's schemes are unparalleled!"

The demon generals all flattered the Fire Ghost King...

"Report!"

Just when the Fire Ghost King was feeling gloat over himself, information was sent by the demon scouts.

"The Honghuang coalition forces are making a move! They seem to be trying to force their way across the river!"

"it is good!"

The Fire Ghost King's eyes gleamed: "Pass the order down, all the demon death squads, get ready, let the vanguard camp go! Wait until the coalition army's central force has all stepped into the river, and then launch an attack immediately!"

"Here!"

Undercurrents surged beneath the Tianhe River, with more than a hundred thousand demons hiding in it, carrying fragments of demon weapons refined by humans, ready to launch self-destruct attacks at any time!
On the other side, above the dark clouds outside the river bank...the coalition forces seemed to be divided into two parts.

Among them, the most powerful warriors of the two tribes, the powerful ones above the Daluo level, all passed through the space channels opened up by the Supreme and the major Quasi-Saints and gathered at the South Heaven Gate... The remaining 99% of the troops stayed where they were, wrapped in dark clouds...

Only the outermost layer of the army was being instructed by Xiao Lin!
"Three clan leaders, you are the most important in this battle..."
