Chapter 458: Retreat

The Great Zhou army was stationed, the morale of the soldiers was low, the previous battlefield was an unprecedented defeat for them, the flames burned the city, the prison dragon ridge ambush, directly destroyed more than half of the Great Zhou army, and there were not many people left alive from the prison dragon ridge.

In a camp tent, a young man in black sat there in amazement, Zhou Yue looked at the map hanging there, his eyes locked on the location of the Prison Dragon Ridge, he was actually defeated in the hands of Xia Yi this time, he galloped on the battlefield for eight years, the first time he was defeated like this, the defeat was so tragic, such a result, even if he was a little difficult to accept for a while.

A few people stepped into the tent, Zhou Yue's eyes moved slightly and looked at the few people who entered the tent, and it was Wu Chen, Wang Peng and others who came in.

"Zhou Shuai, the casualty statistics are out, we have lost 530,000 soldiers, and now there are only 170,000 Great Zhou soldiers left, and the wounded, miserable and disabled, and the combat effectiveness has been sharply reduced. Wu Chen reported the current situation to Zhou Yue.

Hearing Wu Chen's words, Zhou Yue's right hand couldn't help but tremble, this battle was enough to lose 530,000 soldiers, plus the previous 300,000 soldiers, now there are 830,000 soldiers lost, how can he be so defeated so miserably after galloping on the battlefield for so many years?

All this is because of Xia Yi, if it weren't for Xia Yi's existence, he would have already taken the Chaotic Heaven City, and then attacked the Great Xia Imperial Capital in a big way.

"We have suffered a lot of losses in this battle, and it is probably impossible to capture Rantian City. Wang Peng said in a condensed voice, this time the loss was huge, and the loss of 100,000 soldiers, now there are only 100,000 soldiers left, and their combat strength has been greatly affected, and more importantly, the military spirit of the Great Zhou army has been affected, the military spirit is unstable, and it is impossible to do anything.

"Wang Peng is right, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to us, the morale of the soldiers is damaged, in such a situation, if we forcibly launch an attack, we will definitely be the ones who suffer. Lei Mingtian, who lost his left arm, said, after last night's battle, Da Zhou's losses have been maximized, and he has lost 530,000 soldiers, with Da Zhou's current combat strength, it is impossible to fight with the defenders of Chaotian City.

"The million Great Zhou army I led has lost eight or nine out of ten, and the reason for the failure of this battle is still on me, if I hadn't believed in Xia Chong too much, things wouldn't have turned out like this. Zhou Yue said in a deep voice, his eyes burst out with a strong killing intent, if he didn't believe what Xia Chong said, it would not have become the current situation, he was now eager to rush into the Chaotic Sky City and kill Xia Chong, but he also knew very well that if he wanted to take the Chaotic Sky City now, it would be as difficult as ascending to the sky.

"Zhou Shuai, what should we do next?" Wu Chen asked, they were still defeated in the previous battle, and now it was time to think about the next thing.

Zhou Yue frowned slightly, with the current situation of the Great Zhou army, there was no possibility at all if he wanted to take Chaos Heaven City, "Withdraw the troops!"

Zhou Yue's heart was full of helplessness, and the withdrawal of troops was not what he wanted, but the current situation made him have to withdraw his troops, otherwise things would become more troublesome, Chaotic Sky City still has nearly 300,000 defenders, and there is also the existence of Chaotic Sky City, a city of heavenly trenches, and it is too difficult to capture Chaotic Sky City.

Wu Chen, Wang Peng and the others nodded, this is also a matter of no way, the flames burned the city, imprisoned the dragon mountain ambush, directly destroyed the main combat power of the Great Zhou army, and made the Great Zhou army lose their morale, now the withdrawal of the army is their last choice, and the capture of Chaotian City is what they cannot do now.

"I have been on the battlefield for eight years, but I didn't expect to be defeated in the hands of Xia Yi, from the very beginning we underestimated this Seven Princes of Great Xia, from the beginning of bypassing the Prison Dragon Ridge, and then to the battle of the Desert Plains, the Burning City and the Prison Dragon Ridge ambush, everything must be arranged in detail, I completely fell into the disadvantage, Xia Yi was the first person to be defeated on the battlefield, but it will also be the last. Zhou Yue said in a condensed voice, with a coldness in his eyes, he came to attack Great Xia this time, and took it down, but he didn't want to be defeated in Xia Yi's hands, and all his calculations were in vain.

Wu Chen, Wang Peng and others looked at the slightly angry Zhou Yue, knowing that this battle had a great impact on him, after all, Zhou Yue had galloped on the battlefield for so many years, and he had never been defeated, but this time he was not only defeated, but also defeated so badly, with such a big gap in strength between the two sides, Zhou Yue was still defeated, and it was because of the seventh prince Xia Yi who returned to the Great Xia royal family, no matter who put such a thing in anyone's heart, it would be a little unacceptable.

"Zhou Shuai, this failure doesn't mean anything, we will make a comeback after all, and at that time, the Great Xia Dynasty will definitely be won. Wang Peng opened his mouth and said, this time he gathered a million troops and failed to take the Great Xia Dynasty, he knew very well that Zhou Yue would definitely be unwilling, but now was not the time to continue fighting, he could only look forward to the next time.

Zhou Yue nodded, and then said, "Maybe the smooth sailing battles over the years have made me forget what it is like to fail, this defeat is a wake-up call, if I am more cautious, I will not be defeated in the hands of Xia Yi, after I go back this time, I will continue to practice, and next time I will definitely come to the Great Xia Imperial Capital." ”

Hearing Zhou Yue's words, Wu Chen, Wang Peng and others were also relieved, failure is impossible, the terrible thing is whether you can withstand failure, if you can't bear it, then you will achieve nothing, and you can find your weaknesses in failure, and you are the real strong.

The Great Zhou army received the order to withdraw its troops, and it was also ready to repent of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this time the battle made them lose and hit, the original came to the million Great Zhou army, but now only one or twelve of them can go back, such losses can be described as tragic.

Zhou Yue was well prepared, except for the camp tent leaving with the Great Zhou army, when he saw the scarecrow placed outside the north gate of Chaotic Heaven City, he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, when he saw these scarecrows, he already understood what was going on last night, the north gate was not manned, and some of them were these scarecrows, obviously prepared after they entered Chaotic Sky City, just to create the illusion that they were surrounded.

"Xia Yi, you are really a good means. Zhou Yue's eyes were black, and he fainted directly, this incident hit him too hard.

Seeing this situation, Wu Chen and Wang Peng hurriedly came over to support Zhou Yue, who was about to fall off the horse, and they were also angry in their hearts, if they found out that this was the case last night, maybe there would not be so many Great Zhou soldiers who were lost, and they lost this war after all.

"Withdraw your troops!"
