"The army is pressing, Chu Ke, if you have any way to deal with me first. Otherwise, I'm really anxious. Hong Wu sighed.

"There must be a way, don't worry. Chu Ke smiled, "Believe it or not, in three days at most, the western army of these 10,000 towns will leave." ”

Hong Wu, who heard the news, did not look very happy, but frowned again.

"Three days, can we hold on for three days?" asked Hong Wu, "Three hours of siege is exhausting for us, let alone three days?"

"Well, you have a point, let's see. Chu Ke said with a smile.

"Look again?" Hong Wu was about to jump, "Are you still in the mood to joke at this time!"

"Hong Wu, relax. Chu Ke patted Hong Wu on the shoulder and said, "The quality of the army, we are not as good as the Zhenxi army." But at the level of masters, the 50,000 Zhenxi Army is not as good as us. ”

"What do you mean, you're going to transfer the Xuanzi Battalion?" Hong Wu's eyes lit up.

Now in his heart, the only way for the Xuanzi Camp to solve the current dilemma is to solve it.

"No, but that's the idea. But not to understand the immediate situation. Chu Ke said, "The other three battalions may attack Guanhe City early tomorrow morning." ”

Hong Wu's eyes trembled, and he hesitated: "Attack Guanhe City?"

In Hong Wu's mind, a map of Xizhou quickly appeared.

Guanhe City is north of the Deciduous Mountains, and Ning'an City is south of the Deciduous Mountains.

If the expeditionary force takes Guanhe City, then one south and one north, the entire deciduous mountain range will be in the hands of the expeditionary force.

At that time, the people on their side should really be able to attack and retreat, and they will have a considerable foundation to rely on.

At that time, even if Ning'an City was lost now, it would not be difficult to get it back.

"So now, what we're going to do is a strategic fraud, or a strategic ......"

"Retreat. ”

Before Chu Ke finished speaking, Hong Wu had already said the next two words that Chu Ke was going to say.

"Yes, retreat. Chu Ke said, "Taking Guanhe City, the strategic significance of Ning'an City is not great, he is a piece of meat that we can get back at any time." ”

"But with the loss of Guanhe City, Jiang Hanming's Zhenxi Army will face the problem of logistics supply. At that time, as long as we guard our own doors, the Zhenxi Army will fall into the abyss step by step like water without a source. ”

"If that's the case, it doesn't matter much if Ning'an City is defended now. Hong Wu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Hong Wu, one day, it only takes one day. Chu Ke held up a finger and said, "As long as we hold on for one day, we can choose to go or not." Go, go. If I don't leave, then I'll have to transfer the Xuanzi Battalion. ”

"But in that case, the soldiers who are used to cover the strategic retreat will have countless casualties, and we can't afford that kind of loss. Hong Wu said.

"Ci is not in charge of the army. Chu Ke shook his head and said, "This sacrifice is necessary, in a war, how can there be immortals." But wars are fought in exchange for the survival of many people at the expense of a few. In this way, the dead are worth it. ”

For the expeditionary force to take Guanhe City, Chu Ke was not worried at all.

It is strange that those soft-footed shrimp in Guanhe City can stop the pace of the expeditionary force.

Now the only thing Chu Ke is not sure about is whether Wu Yangshu and the others will take Guan He.

Although it stands to reason that taking the Guanhe River will benefit and harmless.

But maybe Wu Yangshu and others will have other plans.

There was no word for the night, and the next day it was dawn, and the rumbling of war drums woke everyone up from sleep.

Chu Ke and Hong Wu climbed the city wall, and at this time, the plains outside the city of Ning'an City were full of neat Zhenxi troops.

Chu Ke swept with his eyes, and the neatly ordered siege troops at this time were about 4,000 people.

It was twice as many people as the last siege.

"Are you well prepared?" asked Hong Wu to an adjutant.

"Tell the general that the city's reserves of fire oil are currently two thousand and one hundred barrels. The adjutant replied.

"Two thousand one hundred barrels? Hong Wu said in his heart.

But he said so in his heart, and he couldn't make any gestures of concern on the surface.

It will be a soldier's courage, anyone can be cowardly, but he can't be coaxed.

"The five hundred soldiers are also put into use. Chu Ke said, "There is no need to hide this hole card, take it out and use it." ”

"If that's the case, then I'll be a little more sure of holding Ning'an City. When Hong Wu heard that Chu Ke had agreed to invest the five hundred soldiers in the Xuanzi Battalion, a wave of confidence came out of thin air.

With these five hundred masters, the white-knuckle battle on the city wall will be dominated by one's own side, and it will be a great advantage.

The Zhenxi Army under the city, this time it was the siege force led by Yang Chengdong himself.

will be a soldier, Yang Chengdong, the chief general of the first army, personally put on the battle, and the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army behind him are even more imposing.

From top to bottom, everyone exudes an aura like a sharp sword soaring into the sky.

"Zhenxi Army! Attack the city and destroy the enemy!" Yang Chengdong pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed directly at Ning'an City in front of him and shouted.

"Attack the city and destroy the enemy!" the four thousand soldiers behind Yang Chengdong also roared angrily.

The Zhenxi army was menacing and its morale was extremely high.

The defenders of Ning'an City on the city wall are all sad and worried.

But there were exceptions, and the exception was the five hundred immortal cultivators from the Xuanzi Battalion.

In the eyes of others, these 4,000 Zhenxi troops are a powerful and terrifying force.

But for them, the 4,000 Zhenxi Army is just a little more than a little more people.

It may be more troublesome to deal with than other armies, but it will be solved by itself in the end.

In the field battle outside the city, the soldiers of the 500 Xuanzi Battalion may be inferior in numbers and have some casualties before they can defeat this Zhenxi army.

But if it is to cooperate with other armies to defend the city, it can be said that it will be difficult for these 500 people to lose even a single hair.

"It's coming. "There was a voice on the wall.

The Zhenxi army outside the city has already poured over like a tide.

"Archers!

Arrows rained down, and black clouds appeared one after another in the sky above Ning'an City.

"Assault of the whole army! Advance at full speed!" Yang Chengdong's roar sounded.

Wenrui Nanzhou, in the Demon Venerable Palace.

The Demon Venerable Palace Master is standing on the top floor of the Demon Venerable Palace and looking at it from afar, don't be sent out by him to deal with things, and he is not around.

Since Li Quanyi was transferred to Xizhou, there have been good news from Xizhou.

Li Quanyi has already tightly controlled most of Xizhou in his own hands.

The Xizhou Righteous Army led by Ju Xinshui could only resist the attack from Li Quanyi in the north of Shangquan City.

Shangquan City is already a large city in the northernmost part of Xizhou.

After going to Spring City, it is a snowy scenery all over the mountains.

Although there are castles, they are not very large in terms of number and area.

Ju Xinshui's retreat to Shangquan City is equivalent to giving up most of Xizhou, and only a quarter of Xizhou's territory is left.

Maybe many people can't understand Ju Xinshui's trick, but a clear-eyed person like Li Quanyi can see it.

Ju Xinshui's trick is not only not a faint trick, but it is very wonderful.

Leave a large piece of space for Li Quanyi and Jiang Hanming to fight with each other.

Take advantage of the contradictions between the two in order to further provoke infighting.

And the fact is that no matter how Li Quanyi retreats, the contradiction between him and Jiang Hanming did break out.

Jiang Hanming took 50,000 troops and went south into the southern part of Xizhou, and regardless of whether the bandit suppression was successful or not, the strength of the bandit suppression army in the central part of Xizhou must have been weakened.

The 150,000 troops that were originally stationed in Xizhou are now empty of 50,000.

Although Ju Xinshui retreated to the north, he had 200,000 troops, even in the face of the current Zhenxi Army, because of the existence of Li Quanyi, the attack was insufficient.

But in terms of self-preservation, it is easy.

"Li Quanyi, what a treasure I picked up. The Demon Venerable Palace Master looked at the scenery in the distance and smiled slightly.

The footsteps behind him sounded, but the Demon Venerable Palace Master was unmoved, he knew who was coming.

Don't casually walk behind the Demon Venerable Palace Master with a dossier in your hand, and when you still have ten steps to go, don't stop.

"Don't follow, there's news from Beizhou?" The Demon Venerable Palace Master didn't even turn around, just asked.

"Palace Master, this time...... Not good news. "Don't just stop talking, but say it anyway.

"Tell me, my mental capacity is not so bad. The Demon Venerable Palace Master smiled.

"Su Yuangang led 30,000 Dongzhou rebels to land from the southeast of Beizhou, and Qin Tongfang led the army to snipe, but he never thought that he fell into the trap of Guo Yi, the commander of the Beizhou rebels. "Don't sigh.

"What is the result?" the Demon Venerable Palace Master's tone was still very flat.

"Only 10,000 of the 50,000 troops led by Qin Tongfang escaped, and these 10,000 troops settled all the way north under the leadership of Qin Tongfang. "Don't just say it.

"Now, Qin Tongfang can't return to Anxin City, and the remaining 100,000 bandit troops in Anxin City are surrounded by Guo Yi and Su Yuangang. ”

"Tongfang is careless. The Demon Venerable Palace Master said lightly, "He thought that the victory was in his hands, so he got a little carried away." Forget Su Yuangang, what an old fox he is. ”

"Hey. After saying that, the Demon Venerable Palace Master shook his head with a little hatred.

Then he turned around and looked at Bei Sui: "Tell him to stick to his own territory, and the 100,000 troops can come out as much as they can, and they can't act rashly for the time being...... Beizhou is considered to have entered the pockets of these three old foxes. ”

The words of the Demon Venerable Palace Master couldn't be clearer.

Long Beizhou has been firmly controlled by the righteous army because of Qin Tongfang's mistake this time.

Now, in the hands of the Demon Venerable Palace, there are Zhengping Dongzhou, Wenrui Nanzhou, and half of Zijin Xizhou.

As for Yuanlong Beizhou, the little place that Qin Tongfang occupies now doesn't count at all, and the ugly point is that it is only enough for him to survive.

"With General Li out of the army, presumably Xizhou can also be brought under the command of the palace master as soon as possible. "Don't just say it.

"It's too easy for you to think, don't let it go, you don't have to comfort me. What kind of temper do I have, don't you know?" the Demon Venerable Palace Master smiled slightly.

With a wave of the sleeves, two chairs appeared out of thin air.

The Demon Venerable Palace Master and Don't sit down with the two of them, sitting casually like two old friends.

"Of the four continents, the most special ones are the North Continent and the West Continent, because among the four continents, only the North Continent and the West Continent are connected. The other two continents are independent continents. The Demon Venerable Palace Master said.

He manipulated the aura of heaven and earth, and formed a detailed map of the Barbarian Witch Continent between the two.

"You see, Beizhou and Xizhou are regarded as one, Su Yuangang is in the east of Beizhou, and Guo Yi is in the middle of Beizhou. And the key place between Beizhou and Xizhou was firmly controlled by Ju Xinshui. ”

"Not to mention the subjugation of Xizhou, Li Quanyi is now just trying to open up the passage to Beizhou, which is an extremely difficult thing. ”

"Ju Xinshui, it's really hard to deal with. Don't look at the connection between Xizhou and Beizhou on the map, and say worriedly.

"How about directly dispatching the Demon Venerable Army to cross the sea and attack Beizhou?"

"Don't follow, your ability to govern the rear is indeed rare in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you have the talent of Wang Zuozhi. But you have to know that the significance of the Demon Venerable Army is not just as simple as the strongest army in the world, he is also related to the majesty of the Demon Venerable Palace. The Demon Venerable Palace Master said in a deep voice.

"If the Demon Venerable Army is dispatched, what will the others think? They will think, I Qi Ming has no one under him, so I can only drive the expedition in person. At that time, even if the lost territory is recovered, how long will it take for the scorching mouth of the world to be completely settled?"

"Don't worry about it. "Don't just say it.

"You shouldn't be blamed for this, after all, you haven't led troops to fight for many years, and it's reasonable to be unclear about this aspect of things. Demon Venerable Palace Master Qi Ming said indifferently.

"What can I do for now?"

"Let Li Quanyi think for himself. Qi Ming smiled slightly, "He's a person, his potential hasn't been used yet." ”

"I dare to say that this person is the number one general today. As long as he is given time, he will be the number one military god in the continent that surpasses the existence of Ju Xinshui, Su Yuangang and others. ”

To be able to make the Demon Venerable Palace Master give such a superb evaluation, Li Quanyi is really not a mortal.

"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the battle situation over there?" Qi Ming said.

"Palace Master, the Araku side is still the same, although there has been progress, but the pace is still slow. Don't frown slightly, it doesn't seem to be very satisfied.

"Ning Danfeng is indeed a great soldier, but Situ Hong and Liu Feng of the Ancient Continent are also famous generals in the world, so it is difficult to deal with. ”

"Liu Feng, isn't he a character from 10,000 years ago?" Qi Ming asked, "Why did he come out again?"

"We don't know, it may have something to do with the Dragon Tower. Don't sigh casually, "Our Western Front has been repeatedly frustrated because of the existence of this person. ”。

"Hmm......" The Demon Venerable Palace Master pondered for a moment before ordering again.

"Let the Five Heavens Saint King go to the Western Front, that Situ Hong on the Eastern Front is not an obstacle. The top priority should be to solve Liu Feng's western defensive line. In terms of dispatching troops, the most important thing to pay attention to on the Ancient Continent is this Liu Feng. ”
