"Retreat to the Valley and the City!"

Zhao Mao closed his eyes, his face full of unwillingness.

His words mean that this battle is completely lost, and the only army he can use under his command is the 500,000 around him now.

Moreover, he must attack Xiyi City in a very short time and take Xiyi City, only in this way can he ensure that the 500,000 troops will not be trapped and die in Guhe City.

"But ......"

"General, what if we withdraw our troops to Guhe City now, what will we do with the army on Shangguan Mountain?"

"What else can I do? give up!"

The corners of Zhao Mao's mouth were bitter, and he said: "Tan Wenbo's idiot was killed with an army of nearly a million, and all the grain and grass in Mingxi City will also fall into Lu Feng's hands." ”

"Moreover, after getting the news of the annihilation of Tan Wenbo's army, Lu Feng will definitely gather all his forces to attack Shangguan Mountain as soon as possible, and by the time we return to help, Shangguan Mountain will already be finished. ”

"Not to mention, now that Lu Feng still has cavalry under his hands, even if we have time, we will face a cavalry surprise attack if we run over, and it will still be useless at that time. ”

"Now there is only one road in front of us, give up the army on Shangguan Mountain, retreat and stick to Guhe City, and at the same time discharge a large army to attack Xiyi City, we must take Xiyi City back, otherwise we will all be finished. ”

Giving up the more than 700,000 troops on Shangguan Mountain made Zhao Mao very, very heartbroken.

But even if it's heartache, there's no way about it.

If he didn't give up and chose to go back to help, facing the cavalry under Lu Feng's hands, no matter how powerful the combat effectiveness of his army was, it would be difficult to stop the cavalry on the plain.

Not to mention that there are still 20,000 iron cavalry led by Lu Bu, a fierce general, on Linghong City, and when the time comes, it will be completely finished, and there will be no army left.

"But...... General, isn't it possible that we will do nothing?"

"Yes, General, if we withdraw our troops like this, after returning to the kingdom, His Majesty the Emperor and the sect will not let us go. ”

These generals knew that the losses in this battle were enormous, and someone had to be held responsible.

Zhao Mao's identity is not simple, he will not have anything to do when he goes back to the kingdom, but their identities are not very important, the general must be responsible, and it is the best result to be able to save his life at that time.

"General, send troops to attack Linghong City, as long as we take Linghong City and kill Lu Bu, we are not completely defeated. ”

"General, give the order!"

The generals were all pleading.

It's just that Zhao Mao shook his head very firmly, and said: "Linghong City has Lu Bu, he is strong, and there are more than 20,000 soldiers under his command, plus Linghong City is a small city, and the defense does not need to be too scattered, and more than 20,000 soldiers can also block it for a while." ”

"If Ran Min leads the cavalry to attack us at this time under Lu Feng's instructions, we won't be able to leave at that time. Now we cannot afford to delay and must retreat immediately. ”

When the generals under his command heard this, they smiled bitterly in their hearts, but the general's order did not dare to disobey, so he answered the call and immediately went down to arrange for the soldiers to retreat.

After these generals left, Zhao Mao groaned slightly, took a deep breath, and turned around and left behind the military tent.

Soon, he arrived at a relatively secluded place in the barracks, where there was a military tent, which was one size smaller than the others.

"General Zhao, please come in. As soon as Zhao Mao walked here, a voice came from inside.

Zhao Mao walked into the military tent, and there were four people sitting inside.

They are all dressed in black, and they are the shadow guards of the Spirit Sword Sect.

"Four adults, my plan has failed, Tan Wenbo's army has been lost, and the calculation of besieging and killing Lu Bu will also fail, I hope that the four adults will take the first step and cooperate with the 100,000 army outside Xiyi City to recapture Xiyi City. Zhao Mao bowed slightly to the four of them.

These four people are not only members of the shadow guard, but also each of them is very strong.

All have the strength of the Saint King Double Heaven Peak close to the Triple Heaven, they are arranged here by Zhao Mao, and when his plan is successful, he will immediately attack Linghong City and let them besiege Lu Bu.

But now, all that planning is over.

Several shadow guards didn't ask much, nodded, and disappeared, according to Zhao Mao's instructions, they went to Xiyi City to recapture Xiyi City.

"I hope there are no Saint King masters under Lu Feng's hands in Xiyi City!"

Zhao Mao sighed lightly after the Saint King masters of the shadow guards left.

He has experienced too much in this battle, and every time Lu Feng moves, it is beyond his expectations, making him completely incapable of reacting.

Now, he was very worried that there were Saint King masters under Lu Feng in Xiyi City, after all, it was rumored that there was another Wei Qing who was in Beiguan who did not show up.

Now that Ran Min and Huo Qubing have arrived at Hukou Pass, there is a teleportation array, and it is difficult to say whether Wei Qing has also arrived here.

It's just that he didn't have a choice.

On that day, Zhao Mao led the army to immediately retreat from Linghong City and went to Guhe City.

"General, the enemy army has really withdrawn!"

At the head of Linghong City, Lu Bu's deputy general saw Zhao Mao's army retreating, and said to Lu Bu with excitement on his face.

Lu Bu also had a smile on his face and said, "In this way, Your Majesty's side should be a great victory." Then, this months-long war will come to an end!"

"General, if we don't lead the cavalry to rush over now, we will definitely be able to gain a lot. The adjutant general's eyes were eager to try.

"No!" Lu Bu shook his head and said, "The enemy army has 500,000, and there will definitely be a Saint King master, we have too few soldiers under our hands now, there is no need to take risks." ”

If it was Lu Bu before, he might really have a tropical soldier rushing to kill for a while, but now Lu Bu has begun to change, as a main general, he has to think about the lives of the soldiers under him, and he can't let the soldiers' lives be lost here in vain for such a little battle achievement.

"Yes!"

The adjutant general answered, and said no more.

......

At the foot of Shangguan Mountain, Lu Feng looked at Tan Wenbo's head carried by the broken water, and said with a smile: "Broken water, you have made a great contribution!"

He got the battle report of Hukou Pass, and when he knew that Tan Wenbo had escaped, he was still a little worried in his heart.

Because Tan Wenbo still has an army of about 700,000 scattered in Chi County, if Tan Wenbo does not die, gather these troops, and then merge with Zhao Mao's 500,000 army under Linghong City, as well as an army of 1.2 million, it will also be a very huge threat.

However, fortunately, the water was cut off and the silver spirit tree was successfully refined, and when he reached the realm of the Holy King, he met Tan Wenbo who had escaped to Mingxi City and successfully killed him.

This also made Lu Feng no longer have to worry about Tan Wenbo gathering in Chi County, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in other cities were one less worried.

Broken Water didn't say anything, just bowed slightly, and stood inside the Six Sword Slaves.
