Chapter 773: Retreat
Outside the city walls, there are barbarian monks all over the mountains, and inside the city walls, everyone is in danger, and the atmosphere is extremely serious!
Originally, with the advantage of the assistance of a few princes, relatively speaking, everyone was still a little better!
But now, because of the Great Prince's wrong decision-making, it directly led to the annihilation of the three million elites of the Great Zhou, and the final outcome is that the Great Zhou, most likely, could not withstand the erosion of the barbarian army, and in despair, the barbarian army broke through the defense line again!
At that time, the Great Zhou will no longer have a line of defense, and it can resist the iron cavalry of the barbarians, and the people in the entire Great Zhou will suffer from it!
Marshal Huang has been in a hurry for two days and two nights and has not closed his eyes, although it is said that the strength of a martial artist has reached a certain level, which is enough to not need to rest, but like Marshal Huang, he is constantly anxious, and he can't hold it anymore!
With no one to tell, he had to come to the military camp of the Four Princes and Ling Xiao.
And the two of them are discussing something around a barbarian corpse!
"King Zhenjiang, the fourth prince, why haven't you two come to me all the time?
The Fourth Prince explained:
"Old Marshal Huang, don't get me wrong, we're not playing! King Zhenjiang is analyzing the corpses of the barbarians!"
"Oh, but what did you find?"
"Of course!
The Four Princes pointed to a bright green liquid in the flesh and blood of the barbarians!
"What is this?"
Ling Xiao explained:
"This is a special toxin, it is harmful to the human body, but for the barbarians, it is an extremely precious medicine! I say this, you may not understand, but it is precisely because of the existence of this thing that the barbarians' IQ has grown so much! It is precisely because of this toxin that their increase will be so powerful!"
"This toxin has never been heard of before!
"This toxin, not to mention that you have not heard of it, and no one else has heard of it! I guess it is very likely, it is an ancient toxin!"
"Ancient toxins? What do you mean, the toxins of the ancient flood period? However, how could the toxins of the flood period appear in the land of the barbarians? After so many years, the ancient toxins should have starved to death by themselves a long time ago!"
Ling Xiao shook his head.
"I don't know much about that, but I'm sure it's a toxin from ancient times!"
"Why is the King of Zhenjiang so sure?"
"Look at this bow and crossbow! This is owned by the barbarian army, it is very technical, far beyond our era! What is engraved on it is the formation of the flood period, only a little spirit crystal is needed, it can absorb a large amount of spiritual energy from the surrounding air, and finally, the power exerted is dozens of times that of ordinary bows and crossbows!"
"Hiss~!"
Old Marshal Huang couldn't help but gasp, and his face became extremely ugly.
"That's... Then if the barbarian army uses this kind of bow and crossbow to attack the city, won't our formation last long?"
Ling Xiao took a deep breath, rubbed his temples, and said:
"If it was before, there should be no hope for the barbarian army! Because, the barbarian army's materials are very poor, especially the spirit crystal, which is pitiful. However, because of the Great Prince's battle, three million elites died tragically in the dense forests of the Northern Wilderness, and the spirit crystals they carried on their bodies were enough for the Northern Wilderness Barbarians to break through our city walls!"
Old Marshal Huang, clenched his fists!
"Damn, the Great Prince, this is to completely mistake our Great Zhou!"
The fourth prince hurriedly asked:
"King Zhenjiang, do you have any good ways to help us defend against the Northern Barbarians!"
"You think I'm a god, huh?"
Ling Xiao rolled his eyes and replied angrily, which made the fourth prince laugh.
Old Marshal Huang's face became difficult to look at.
"That's... King Zhenjiang, according to your thoughts, what should we do now?"
"Retreat!"
"Retreat?"
Old Marshal Huang and the four princes all looked confused!
"King Zhenjiang, you're not joking with us, are you? Let's retreat, do you know that after abandoning the Great Wall of the Border, behind us, the gate of the Great Zhou will be opened!"
Ling Xiao nodded solemnly.
"Yes, I'm not kidding you! You can choose not to retreat, but the only result is that you will be wiped out!"
"Then if you retreat, will you have a chance of winning?"
"Not necessarily, but the chance to greatly improve the odds of victory! The Northern Wilderness Barbarians are menacing, and only by avoiding the opponent's edge can they get a greater chance! Otherwise, everything can only be a waste of life!"
Old Marshal Huang gritted his teeth.
"Can you please make Zhenjiang King clearer?"
"Yes!"
Ling Xiao came to the front of the map, pointed to the map, and said:
"You see, retreating from here, there is a canyon that separates the territory of the Great Zhou into two pieces, in fact, it is more defensive than this built city wall! After all, the natural barrier is still much stronger than the man-made city wall!"
"Secondly, if we retreat, in this city wall, bury the formation, and arrange the attack formation along the road, we can also divert the attention of the barbarians! Block some of their attacking edges, and when they reach the canyon, we will counterattack in one fell swoop, relatively speaking, it is much better!"
"This method proposed by the King of Zhenjiang is indeed good, but if you retreat, it means that you will lose the territory of the Great Zhou, and if Your Majesty blames it, this is a felony of killing your head!"
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said:
"It is said that it is a felony of killing your head, but in the end, as long as you win the war, you can't kill your head if you want to, right? The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will never fail to intercede for you! Besides, the four princes are also involved, and the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty will never kill his own son! In addition, if you don't withdraw, you won't even get the felony of killing your head! The final result may be that you will be crowned a hero, and you will be condoled and admired by the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future! But your children and grandchildren will slowly disappear in the end, and there is no way to do it! You have to think about it yourself!
"This.... ”
Old Marshal Huang looked embarrassed.
In fact, Ling Xiao's statement, he didn't understand, but the pride in his heart didn't allow him to retreat!
He is the border marshal of the Great Zhou, if he is allowed to retreat and win the battle, it will be okay in the end, if he can't win, he will be stinking for 10,000 years in the future!
Retreated, and was destroyed, it is better to die here!
After all, when everything is dead, the reputation spreads, and it is better to hear!
