Chapter 570: Winnable
June 1st was supposed to be the day of Children's Day that was spread in the West, but in the East, to be precise, not many people in the Great Song Dynasty were in the mood to take their children to play.
The news of the fall and defeat came from the front one after another, and there were occasional victories, but they were heavy victories, and the only exciting battle of Xuzhou actually did not change much in the overall situation.
Now that there is a gap in the Yellow River, if someone says that the Yangtze River is also defended, almost no one will doubt the authenticity of this news.
It's just that bad, there's almost no hope of victory in sight, unless—
"I've heard Westerners say that a kingdom with a 'holy woman' is undefeated. ”
This is a legend that is not officially recorded, but there are two precedents to prove it, and in such a moment of helplessness, it naturally becomes the sustenance of people's hearts.
Then, on this day, suddenly a magician ran out into the street and shouted like a madman, but no one blamed him, but the gibberish in his mouth pointed to a little—
Someone canonized by magic.
……
Luoyang Imperial Palace.
"Not me. ”
Xinlan's answer made the ministers instantly feel as if they had been poured cold water.
You must know that Xinlan has the saint-level skill of the Great Heaven Sacred Domain, if she becomes a real saint and can teleport freely in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, then the Great Song Dynasty will be able to beat Gu Meng to the ground with eight invincible armies, how can she be like this!
It's a pity that it wasn't Xinlan who sanctified this time.
"If it's not His Highness Xinlan, who else would it be?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Xinlan was silent, but she had already thought of who the most likely person was.
It's just—
"Is that your choice?"
Looking at the far north, Xinlan's mood became heavier and heavier.
……
"Is this the Holy Level?"
Chen Duyun looked at his hands, stunned.
In fact, their victory was not too exaggerated, counting the two charges that broke through Gao Bei in front, they probably inflicted more than 10,000 to 20,000 casualties on the enemy, and the real dead may not even be 10,000.
But this is the result of 7,000 men facing an army of 80,000.
The 80,000 Wei soldiers led by Gao Bei, Hu Lu, Hei Ye and others were much stronger than the enemies Chen Duyun encountered along the way.
But they won, and with Chen Duyun's Holy Rank Technique, they brought everyone's individual abilities into full play by more than one point, allowing everyone to naturally work towards the same goal, and finally defeated an enemy ten times their size.
This is a record to be proud of, and Chen Duyun will not be humble enough to pretend.
Just after laughing, it's more of a sigh.
Just like the limit of the commander is not very ten, when he stepped into the Holy Stage, he realized how vast the sky behind him was, even if he used the ninety-ninth level to describe the Holy Order, it was not too much at all.
Of course, this is just a joke.
"It's everyone's credit to win. ”
Even if Chen Duyun's magic reached the holy level, the essence of his own low combat power had not changed, but he could go deep into the spiritual level to guide people and show them the direction - to put it bluntly, he couldn't do it alone.
"It's okay, even if you command an army of 100,000 now, you can perform the same miracle again, right?"
Of course, Chen Duyun didn't know that others called him the "God of War", but this title was not wrong at all, his saint-level ability could only be fully exerted in the army, of course, it could also be in the sea of the masses, but neither Chen Duyun nor Xinlan, who was far away in the sky, had no intention or resolutely allowed the Great Song Dynasty to fall to that extent.
As for whether the other troops will trust Chen Duyun as much as the white-robed army...... This was still doubtful at the emperor level, but when he reached the holy level, his body naturally radiated a light of trust.
It's not superstition, it's the feeling of a guiding light suddenly appearing in front of you when you're lost, and you can't help but follow the light of the light.
To put it more bluntly, it is:
"If you want to win, come with me. ”
Everyone was full of confidence in Chen Duyun, believing that as long as he returned to Luoyang, he would be able to lead the Great Song Dynasty to counterattack Gumeng and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor.
This is not delusional, 7,000 can win 80,000, let alone 100,000, and maybe Chen Duyun can go further and lead more people, so the Gumeng people can only flee from the wind.
"I wish I could see that. Chen Duyun couldn't help but sigh similarly, "But first we have to go back first, and we will be at the border immediately, everyone, come on." ”
Yes, you have to go back before you can have a future.
Except for Ma Niancai, no one noticed that Chen Duyun quietly pinched his fingers at this time, and then showed an extremely solemn expression in an instant.
……
"We lost. ”
Gao Bei only sent this message to Beiping and cut off communication.
The march to fight a war cannot only be based on the number of people, this principle is the same whether it is placed before or after the war.
They lost to less than a tenth of their own enemy, they lost about 10,000 or more, and it seemed that they could fight again, but their morale was lost, and even if Gao Bei's heart was still resolute, they could not organize the pursuing troops again.
This is their complete defeat.
"Now, no one in the south can stop them, right?" Gao Bei sighed at the sky.
He didn't expect that Hu Lu was also defeated in the dark night, and he also let the other party be promoted to a sage...... This is all to blame for his lack of attention at the beginning, but now it is too late to say anything, and the wishful thinking in his mind has been completely ruined. Because if a character like Chen Duyun goes to the south, not to mention the problem of being unstoppable, they have already begun to worry about the possibility of being bloomed in the rear by the other party.
If one is not done well, Gumeng's Northern Front may be defeated because of this.
"Father, do you want to send a message to the kingdom of God?"
The best way to deal with the Sage is to dispatch the Sage, Gao Lanling's proposal is very logical, but before Gu Meng arrived at the time of the death of the country, that critical moment did not come, and the Star Kingdom made a move? Gao Bei immediately shook his head and denied this method.
But then again, if the Northern Army perishes like this, Gu Meng can be regarded as in danger of losing the country, right? Since the star general had seen the sage of the Song Kingdom before, there was no reason not to see this, but why did he still let the sage of the Song State leave?
At this moment, the communication stone rang, and Gao Bei took out the communication stone with a heavy heart, ready to accept a scold from what might be Zhu Yong or Wei Lord Tuoba Hong, but when he saw the name of the messenger, he was stunned for a moment.
"You...... You're here to make fun of me?"
In normal times, Gao Bei would have been angry for a long time, but now his words are so pale and weak, even if the other party is Yuwen Otter whom he hates and despises.
"The enemy is a saint, and defeat is not a crime of war. ”
"Hmph. ”
"I'm looking for you, it's an adult's meaning. Yuwen Otter didn't care about the other party's attitude.
Gao Bei suddenly became much more energetic.
"Why should you relay it. ”
"Is it really good for me to say it?"
"Let's talk about the content. Gao gritted his teeth with grief and hatred, how could he not know the reason, it was just because he was afraid that his face would be upset. Yuwen Otter, this guy is still so annoying!
"It's very simple, take a rest, and go south to pursue the enemy Sage on the same day. ”
It was expected, but Gao Bei still snorted lightly.
"Does it make sense?"
"Yes, you may be able to see me defeated on the way. ”
Gao Bei did not laugh.
"You're already fortifying? This is an order from your lordship?"
"Of course, not only me, but also adults are ready. ”
Gao Bei was a little confused.
"Adults don't go to the South?"
"Fighting for power?" Yuwen Otter finally couldn't help laughing, this was the first time he let out a noticeable smile in the communication, "The adults are eloquent and strategic, and they know which is more important. ”
Obviously, he was smiling at Gao Bei, who had never forgotten to fight for power and profit, but was Yi Zhuyong a person who was so noble as not to fight for power and profit? Absolutely not! But he still gave up the south to deal with the sage of the Song Kingdom—according to Gao Bei's understanding of Yi Zhuyong, he must have been prepared a long time ago, when the enemy was not yet a sage.
Such a visionary ...... Gao Bei deeply felt that his skills were not as good as others, but his fighting spirit also poured out at the same time. He has always been a person who can only work harder when he has a goal.
"Please tell your Excellency, and I'll start doing it right away. ”
Yuwen Otter laughed again, but it was a satisfied laugh, obviously he didn't want Gao Bei to sink like this.
"My lord also has something for me to convey to you. ”
"What?"
"The Sage is not an invincible being. ”
