Chapter 2420: Cease-fire and Rest

The fifth line of defense was quickly breached.

Then the sixth, the seventh...

Every time Crescent Moon Mountain attacked, they would first use the formation-breaking cannon to smash ten gaps in the defense shield, and then break through ten routes at the same time.

They dared not save resources anymore, and began to invest a lot in the Immortal-Destroying Pearls and various attack props, which raised the equipment of the assault troops to a higher level again. Both the attack capability and the anti-explosion capability were stronger than before.

The coalition forces were already unable to stop this kind of money-spending offensive, especially when facing multi-route attacks, they seemed to be a little stretched.

Their only means of response now was to release a large amount of smoke inside and outside the gap, and then deploy a large number of ghost meat bombs on various defense lines.

If the enemy dared to charge into the fog, they would wantonly self-destruct, use the environment to cover, and cause as much damage to the enemy as possible.

However, Crescent Moon Mountain's charge was very determined. They had to quickly break through the defense line even if they had to bear the losses, and quickly destroy the defense line, not giving the coalition forces the opportunity to fight repeatedly.

The coalition's defense line was eventually lost one after another, and Chu Yang and others began to retreat step by step.

At this time, everyone realized the value of Lou Xiaoyu.

If she hadn't forcibly changed the mountain protection formation into 18 lines of defense, the coalition would have been in a state of no defense and could only face the enemy's final general attack head-on.

The battle became more and more intense, and the losses of both sides increased.

This loss is not only war resources, but also combatants.

Props such as the Immortal-Destroying Pearl and the Ghost Meat Bomb are fine. Both sides have reached this point and can no longer take care of these resource consumption.

But

The loss of personnel is a big problem, especially for the coalition.

The coalition's elite troops are not many. At least two hundred ghost soldiers must be arranged to defend each gap. It is impossible to use all evil ghosts, otherwise the enemy can directly penetrate their battle formation with a charge, and there is no effect of blocking the enemy.

However, using ghost soldiers to fight will inevitably result in losses. As the loss of ghost soldiers increases, the coalition gradually begins to have insufficient ghost soldiers.

Every time a line of defense is breached, they will lose at least one or two thousand ghosts, and even more evil spirits.

Although most of these ghosts are wounded and sent back to the rear in time, there will definitely be a shortage of ghosts in the short term.

They have less than 20,000 ghosts in total, and it is impossible to use them all as soldiers on the front line.

After all, their army is mainly composed of evil spirits, and they need a large number of ghosts as leaders to bring out the combat effectiveness of these armies.

The number of ghosts on the defense line is not enough, and the resistance of the battle formation is naturally not strong.

As they invest fewer and fewer ghosts, the attack of Crescent Mountain is getting smoother and smoother, and the breakthrough speed is getting faster and faster. The situation of the coalition seems to be in danger.

However, Crescent Mountain is not doing well either.

They mainly consume war resources such as the Immortal Destroying Pearl, and the number of soldiers who actually died in the battle is not that many.

The soldiers who died in the battle were basically caused by the sneak attack of the Blue Flame Fire, including ghosts and evil spirits. Every time the defense line is breached, there will be hundreds of losses.

There will be slightly more wounded, but every time the defense line is broken, the number of wounded in ten gaps will not exceed 5,000, and basically

half of them are ghosts and half are evil spirits.

This number may not seem large, but after several lines of defense, their wounded ratio is a bit high.

When they hit the tenth line of defense, Yueya Mountain had to suspend the attack.

Because at this time, the number of wounded in their army has accounted for half, and there are also 5,000 to 6,000 soldiers killed in battle.

They must stop to rest.

Because they only have about 80,000 troops in total, if the proportion of wounded is too large, when their army only has 10,000 to 20,000 combatants left, they may face a counterattack from the coalition forces.

The coalition forces' personnel losses are slightly greater than theirs. At this time, they have lost 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers, of which nearly 10,000 soldiers died on the spot.

But the coalition forces still have more than 100,000 combatants, whether they are ghosts or evil spirits, this number is at least not small.

If the coalition forces suddenly counterattack, and the army on Yueya Mountain is less than a certain number, then they will definitely not be able to resist.

Therefore, Ma Yi had to keep steady at this time. While he still had 30,000 or 40,000 troops, he could prevent the coalition forces from making any rash moves and maintain a standoff with the coalition forces.

He decided to rest for a few days and wait for some of the wounded to recover.

The coalition forces did not fight back because they also needed to wait for the wounded to recover, otherwise they would not be able to organize the army to plug the gap.

Ma Yi took advantage of this time to let his generals count the casualties of both sides.

The wounded were not a big deal, the main thing was the number of soldiers who actually died in the battle.

The number of soldiers who actually died in Yueya Mountain exceeded 5,000, and the coalition forces seemed to have more, but it should not exceed 10,000.

The loss ratio was about one to two.

It seemed that Yueya Mountain did not suffer any loss, but the coalition forces did not suffer any loss either.

If calculated according to this ratio, the final result of the war would be that Yueya Mountain was completely wiped out, and the coalition forces would still have more than 100,000 troops left.

However, the account of war is not calculated in this way, and the damage ratio in the early stage cannot be simply applied.

Assuming that the casualties in Crescent Mountain reach 60,000 to 70,000, and only 10,000 horses are left to participate in the battle, and the coalition forces suffer more than 100,000 casualties, and there are nearly 100,000 troops left, then their strength ratio will become about one to ten. .

If the coalition forces have this advantage, they will definitely take the initiative and destroy Crescent Mountain.

Although there will be more ghost soldiers in Crescent Mountain, the overall number is too small and they cannot defeat the coalition forces at all.

After the coalition's victory, there were more than 100,000 troops left, and including the wounded, there would still be hundreds of thousands, or even 200,000 troops.

Even if reinforcements arrive at Crescent Mountain later, facing this number of troops, it will still be very difficult to capture Wuwang Village.

But there is another calculation, which is the degree of loss of the ghost soldiers on the coalition side.

The coalition forces have less than 20,000 ghost soldiers in total. If the ratio of ghost soldiers in the army is too low, the overall combat effectiveness will naturally decrease, and the one to two battle loss ratio may continue to expand.

What Ma Yi and others are now thinking about is how to take advantage of them and use the power of their elite troops to make the losses of the coalition forces higher.

Otherwise, if they really continue to fight at this one-to-two ratio, their team will be doomed.

Maybe Crescent Mountain will not fail because they still have reinforcements.

But Ma Yi defeated this army of nearly 100,000 ghost cultivators, and his guilt was not light.

So, how?

How can they take advantage of their elite army?
