Chapter 1336 Mastering the Initiative Is the Key

Wenren didn't know why the Goddess retreated, but she knew that the battle was not over yet.

Her most urgent task is to quickly arrange manpower to treat the wounded, count the losses, and then redeploy.

In the headquarters of Xuanwu City, Wen Renzheng, Gong Xiaobai and others were listening to various reports from below.

"Six thousand soldiers were killed this time, including 2,700 from the Griffin Corps, 1,560 from the Xuanwu Corps, 300 from the Suzaku Corps, and White Tiger..."

"There are more than 1,200 people who are seriously injured and cannot fight anymore, and 5,000 people who are slightly injured and can fight, and minor injuries are not counted."

"There are 50 core energy cannon charging cores left, and 50,000 rifle ammunition left."

"After the war, the number of ownerless griffins was 500, and 1,400 were missing and died."

"Remaining healing potion..."

As the reports were read out one after another, the faces of Wenren and the others became heavy.

This battle can be said to have suffered heavy losses, more severe than any war that Nirvana City has encountered in the past.

With personal experience and data comparison, everyone can intuitively discover how big the gap between them and Chen Fang is.

"If the commander-in-chief was in command today, perhaps there would not be such a big loss."

Lu Yichuan subconsciously said something.

He used to dislike Chen Fang's behavior and doubted Chen Fang's ability, but after fighting Chen Fang several times, he secretly regarded Chen Fang as an idol in his heart.

Jimo next to him nudged Lu Yichuan's arm with his elbow, and looked at the sullen Wenren, signaling to speak carefully.

Lu Yichuan came to his senses, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly apologized to the listener, saying that what he said just now was not aimed at her.

Wenren shook her head to express that she didn't worry about it, the fact is so, why didn't she think so in her heart.

"I am responsible for such a huge loss. After this battle is over, I will resign from all positions in the army and wait for the commander to come back to deal with it." Wenren said in a deep voice.

"No, no, it's not your fault. If you hadn't commanded us today, we would have lost even more. Maybe Xuanwu City has been breached now."

"Yes, everyone knows how much we have. Leading troops to kill the enemy in local operations is fine, but overall commanding is ignorant. You have done a very good job, so where is your responsibility?"

"Yeah, don't think too much, the gods will definitely attack the city next time, and we still have to rely on you to command."

Everyone persuaded one after another.

"Needless to say, it doesn't count if you tell me about this matter. He will deal with it when the commander comes back."

"Okay, let's not talk about this person, let's discuss how to deal with the gods next."

Wenren interrupted everyone, and the conversation went straight to the most important thing at the moment.

"Didn't they all retreat?" Gong Xiaobai asked in confusion.

"Although the gods have retreated this time, it is not normal no matter how you look at it. I think they will definitely make a comeback."

There is no basis for it, but Wen Ren has this premonition.

"No way, they didn't take us down with such a crazy attack before, so they dare to come again."

Jimo thought it was impossible.

Jimo Youqian also said: "I think the gods may be because we destroyed their previous plan with those noble families in Nirvana City, and they couldn't take down the city wall under our strict defense, and lost so many troops. It’s not worthwhile, so we retreated, if this is the case, they probably won’t come again.”

In the past, it was because of someone's cooperation that the gods sent troops to attack Nirvana City, but now they found that the plan was not feasible. People dare to do it again.

After hearing this, Gong Xiaobai muttered, "It's best not to come."

"I also think that the gods will come to attack the city again."

Lu Yichuan felt that Wenren was right, and he also felt that the descendants of the gods would come to attack the city again.

"Today they retreated too strangely. The front attacked like crazy, and the rear retreated very simply. It was really confusing. I thought about it and thought they should be watching us at a stalemate, temporarily retreating and regrouping. gone."

"Well, that's what I mean too." Wen Ren nodded and said.

It is impossible for the God-descendant tribe to send troops and leave with just one wave. This is too anticlimactic, and after suffering such a big loss, if people don't believe that the God Emperor can swallow this breath, they will definitely try to get revenge.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether the gods will attack the city again, we just need to be prepared." Gong Xiaobai said aside.

"That's right, what do you think about so much? Soldiers come to cover up the water and soil, and we just guard the Xuanwu City. Don't be afraid of them." Jimo Yi followed up.

Wenren shook his head and said: "That's true, but the commander once told me that if you hold on for a long time, you will lose."

The gods will never be stupid enough to see that the frontal attack is difficult to win, and they will still charge head-on. They will definitely use their tricks. If they wait until the next time they come to attack the city, they may want to defend Xuanwu The city will be ten thousand times more difficult than it is today.

It's very passive.

Wen Ren always remembered that when Chen Fang was teaching her, he said not to underestimate any enemy, maybe they will be stupid at first, but after suffering a loss once, they will definitely become smarter.

So instead of waiting for the opponent to figure out a way to make a comeback, it is better to rush to take the initiative to disrupt their pace.

"But if we don't keep it, do we have to take the initiative to attack?" Gong Xiaobai said in surprise.

That's what Wenren thinks.

"The commander once told me that if you want to win on the battlefield, you must turn passive into active."

"It's natural to stick to Xuanwu City, but this is too passive, and it will only let us be led by the nose by the gods, and we will pay a heavy price if we are not careful."

"Only by finding a way to take the initiative to attack and beat the god-descendants by surprise and defeat the army, can we win the real victory."

Lu Yichuan echoed: "That's right. When it comes to the things that happened to Nirvana City before, the commander never took the initiative to attack. He never waited for the enemy to come and fight. He won in the end."

After mentioning this, everyone remembered the previous wars that Chen Fang commanded. No matter which ones, Chen Fang always took the initiative and never waited for the enemy to fight before fighting back.

"And I'm afraid that after the defeat of the God-descendants this time, they will use the people in Jiangcheng to vent their anger, so not only should we take the initiative to attack, but it's best to be faster."

This is what Wenren is most worried about.

As for whether the Goddess tribe would do such a thing, no one present was sure, but referring to the shameless behavior of the Goddess tribe in occupying Jiangcheng before, it was not impossible.

"If they dare to kill one person in Jiangcheng, I'll kill a hundred god-descendants to be buried with them." Jimo roared.

Everyone ignored him.

"But if we want to take the initiative, what should we do?"

"While they are retreating, we send a troop to hold them back, and then send another troop to attack Jiangcheng, which is short of troops?" Lu Yichuan said.

"No, first of all we don't have that many troops to send out, and secondly, if they force the citizens of Jiangcheng to climb up the city wall, how can we still attack innocent people?" Wenren shook his head.

Nirvana City only has so many troops in total. Except for the soldiers who must not move for defense, they can only send 30,000 soldiers at most, and then divide them into two. It is not advisable to contain the god-descendant army or to attack the city. .

"Then what should we do?" Gong Xiaobai asked.

Wenren thought for a while and said: "I have some ideas, but I still need to think about it carefully. If it can be successful, then maybe I can kill three birds with one stone, and even solve the problem in Jiangcheng."

Gong Xiaobai hurriedly asked: "Quickly tell me what the solution is."

Wenren didn't say it right away, but knocked on the table and began to think.

Although everyone was very anxious, they didn't dare to disturb, and stood aside silently waiting.
