On the evening of January 1. The Grand Chieftain and his ministers decided to cut military spending in half in order to alleviate the crisis of financial distress.

This can make the sword drawn to the sky in a hurry, the original military spending can not meet the demand, isn't it his life to cut it in half? How can he, the logistics army Sima, continue to work? If he can't do it, he can't find a way to cope with the expenses after drawing his sword and asking the heavens, so he just resigns and quits - anyway, this military Sima is also a chicken rib to him, and he has no credit for doing it well, and if he doesn't do it well, he will offend people.

Qin Xiaobai received an order from the chief of the Executive Yuan NPC to ask him to re-appoint as the logistics army Sima and take charge of the logistics affairs of the 50,000-strong army. Of course, the military expenditure has been reduced from 1 million to 500,000, and this money can only be used to meet the various needs of the army as much as possible.

Qin Xiaobai looked at the military expenditure that had been cut in half, and shook his head secretly. I want the horses to run happily, but I don't give the horses grazing, how can there be such an easy thing in the world. He is not an immortal, and he can conjure up money and materials to meet the needs of an army of 50,000.

The money is just like that, and the materials are just like that, and it's useless to change the logistics army Sima to whoever takes the position.

However, despite this, Qin Xiaobai still took over the second appointment of the military commander. Because he didn't plan to use 500,000 copper coins to solve the problem of logistics and supply for the army, but only to stabilize people's hearts.

The four main combat corps no longer need to supply supplies.

In the evening of the same day, Qin Xiaobai sent a cronie of the Xiaobai Army to Beishuiquan as soon as possible to inform the bloody slaughter and Qianli Legion on the front line to "wait for the opportunity to retreat on their own initiative".

The whole situation is chaotic and on the verge of getting out of control.

North Water Springs Front.

After several days of hard fighting, the six fortified defenses at the northernmost point of Beishui Spring had been forcibly broken through by the Shanjung army. The Shanjung army lost nearly 20,000 soldiers here, and the four player legions lost a total of thousands of soldiers; The Shanjung army has dropped from more than 60,000 to more than 40,000 troops, while the player army is still nearly 50,000 troops. However, the situation is still very unfavorable for the player legion. Most of the medicines have been depleted, and the arrows have been seriously depleted. All the cutting tools are used up. The logistics corps was sending fewer and fewer supplies.

The middle belly of the North Water Spring is not conducive to defense and is only suitable for frontal group charges. was directly abandoned by the four major legions, and they did not plan to fight hard with Shanjung.

The four player legions retreated to the tail mouth of the North Water Spring, relying on the last few fortifications here to defend it. However, the lack of medicine and the rapid increase in the number of casualties caused the various regiments to be unstable; The players of the four major legions are all discussing whether to withdraw their troops immediately, although they have long wanted to retreat, but when it comes to deciding to retreat, the army Sima and Xing Sima are still a little hesitant. Whether to hold out a little longer, or to withdraw immediately.

The news that the northernmost pass and the middle abdomen of Beishui Spring were captured spread to the Zhoushui Walled City. caused NPC officials to come to the battlefield to supervise the battle, and strictly ordered that they must defend Beishui Spring, never retreat again, and fight to the death with the Shanjung army at any cost.

It is conceivable that if the army really retreats, the big chief may be extremely angry, and the consequences will be completely unpredictable.

A player from the Little White Army arrives at the North Water Spring. successively visited the bloody killing, and did not stay for thousands of miles, and conveyed to them Qin Xiaobai's words, "The time is ripe, immediately wait for the opportunity to take action."

The withdrawal of troops has officially begun.

The decisive question of who will withdraw first and who will withdraw will be the last one.

The four legions rotate their defenses. Blood Legion - Thousand Miles Legion King Legion - Xiaoao Legion, rotate the defense in turn. There are opportunities to take advantage of.

The Wang Legion held out for an hour, then retreated, and changed to the Xiaoao Legion to top the defensive line.

At this time, the Blood Killing Legion "suddenly" rioted, and many players roared angrily. "Lao Tzu is gone, I haven't sent medicine supplies for so long, so our troops will die in vain! Retreat, leave immediately! Brothers, let's go, let's go! ”

The Bloodkill Legion fell into a "runaway state". The line of the Blood Killing Legion, the players, with nbsp; The bloody killing saw the "great urgency". He hurriedly sent someone to inform the Thousand Miles Legion, the King Legion, and the Xiaoao Legion, telling them that his Blood Killing Legion was out of control. The players themselves began to retreat with a large army, and he couldn't stop it, so he could only immediately send someone to inform them of a few legions, let's retreat together, stop fighting.

Subsequently, the "panic mood" first spread to the Thousand Miles Legion, and the players of the Thousand Miles Legion shouted one after another, the Blood Killing Legion is gone, and they are going to leave too. Follow the Bloodslaughter Legion to begin the retreat and leave the North Water Spring.

Followed by the King's Legion, they saw that the Blood Killing Legion and the Thousand Miles Legion had begun to run and retreat, were they still willing to stay here? Of course, it was immediately rolled up and left.

The last person to receive the news was the Laughing Proud Legion.

The Xiaoao Legion had just replaced the Wang Legion on the defensive line, but they were shocked to receive the news that the other three legions were beginning to retreat and leave Beishuiquan. The commander of the Xiaoao Legion, the God King, almost spurted out a mouthful of blood after learning the news.

If you don't retreat early, you won't retreat late, and the remoteness in his legion replaces the king's legion, and the retreat begins to retreat. And he didn't say hello in advance, just leave, isn't this a fun laughing at his army?

The three other legions are leaving, but can his legions? If he retreats, he will be followed by an army of as many as 40,000 Shanjung. Will the Shanjung army be polite to you? Say you guys should go, let's stop fighting?! I'm afraid I'll even swallow the belt bones in one gulp.

Conspiracy!

Definitely a conspiracy!

Bloody killing, not staying for thousands of miles, and becoming kings, it is likely that all three of them were involved in this conspiracy against his god king.

The players of the Smiling Legion were cold in their hearts, and they stayed on the fortifications they guarded.

It's not that they don't want to go, but they don't dare to go.

After a short rest, the charge of tens of thousands of troops has begun. The Shanjung shouted strange cries and rushed over.

Once the defensive line is loosened, it will not be a retreat, but a major rout, and the first to be finished will definitely be their laughing army.

But if you don't retreat. Guarding the defensive line is still the more than 10,000 horses of their proud army, and they still have to be finished. It's just a little late to finish.

In the tent of the Xiaoao Legion, the seven line horses, including the God King, Xiaoao and others, looked at each other, not knowing how to break this unsolvable deadlock.

A Xing Sima said bitterly, "He*&......%, how can he be so vicious in blood killing, and actually come up with such a vicious method to deal with us?!" We've been pitied by them this time. When the soldiers are gone, how do you go back and explain to those players? ”

Another Xing Sima said: "I'm afraid it's not just blood. Qianli and Chengwang may have participated, otherwise how could they cooperate so coincidentally. As soon as I left, I was gone! They are joining forces to ask us to bear all the losses! If we knew the truth, we would have just left early. ”

The God-King listened to the arguments of the crowd and sighed, "Don't talk about this. The most important thing now is to think about how to protect yourself as much as possible. Now there are only three options. All hold on, all retreat, leave half hold and half retreat.

If we all stick to the ground, the medicine in our hands can still hold on for two hours, and then we can only fight hard, and the end is that we are finished. If the whole retreats, it will be very sad to be pursued by the Shanjung army, and the losses will be unpredictable. The last option would allow us to save at least half of our troops. What do you think? ”

The Warriors agreed to the plan of the God King to withdraw half of his troops and stay behind half.

Finally, there is the question of who will stay in charge of the defense.

Everyone looked at Xiao Ao very naturally.

Xiao Ao opened his mouth. Speechless.

The fact that the Xiaoao Legion fell to this step today has a direct relationship with him. If he hadn't squeezed out the blood slaughter and others in the first place, he would not have suffered such revenge today, and even been used by other legions to take the bottom. This one who finally carried the black pot could only be carried by him with a smile.

Xiao Ao nodded gloomily, thought about it, and wrote a military information bamboo slip casually. He stamped his official seal and handed it over to the God King. "Bring this back to the Great Chief, it's the last thing I'll do for you. From now on, I don't owe any of you anything. ”

The God King silently took the bamboo slip.

Let Xiaoao withdraw the big black cauldron of troops, this is the meaning of Xiaobai, and it is also the meaning of all the Simas. Otherwise, there would not have been Xiao Ao and his Xiao Ao army left a few days ago.

He patted him on the shoulder with a smile on his face. He said lightly: "Don't worry, Brother Xiaoao, I will bring your Xiaoaojun back and leave you the capital to turn over." ”

The God-King left with the rest of the people without looking back, leaving Xiaoao and thousands of soldiers to defend the fortifications. The legion and the Xiaoao legion retreated in a panic and retreated from Beishuiquan to the Zhoushui Walled City, which was hundreds of miles away. Those who stayed behind to stop the army of Shanjung. It is half of the land of the Xiaoao Legion, nearly 5,000 soldiers. The remaining supplies of medicine for the Xiaoao Legion were left to these 5,000 soldiers. Hold back the mountain as much as possible to buy time for the retreat of the army.

Bloodshed and thousands of miles are not left behind. Originally, it was planned to use traffic jams in the middle of the retreat to consume the strength of the Xiaoao Legion. However, after seeing the "ambitious broken wrist" of the Xiaoao Legion and abandoning half of the troops, it did not add more trouble to them.

They did not intend to wipe out the Laughing Proud Legion, but only weakened it so that its strength was greatly weakened, and it was unable to compete for the mines in the Eagle Hand Mining Area. If it is not appropriate to destroy them all, it will allow the Wang Legion to finally completely occupy the Beishui Spring Herbs, and the Wang Legion will be cheapened for nothing.

Therefore, the retreat was relatively smooth, and there were no serious blockages.

A cavalry messenger rushed to the Zhoushui Walled Administrative Yuan, urgently reported to the chief Ji Zhi, and submitted a piece of military information to the bamboo slip.

The bamboo slip reads: "Newspaper, Great Chief! Our army fought hard against the mountain and annihilated tens of thousands of enemy troops. However, last night it was suddenly attacked by the Shanjung army, breaking through the defensive line, causing heavy losses to our army, and it was on the verge of collapse. In order to preserve the strength of our army, I personally led 5,000 dead soldiers to block the Shanrong army, and ordered the whole army to retreat back to the Zhoushui Walled City and reorganize. Please ask the Great Chief to preside over the overall situation and exterminate the invading Shanrong army! ”

On the bamboo slip, it is stamped with the smiling and proud Sima official seal. With this bamboo slip, Xiaoao has already shouldered all the responsibility for withdrawing troops.
