Chapter 573: Retreat or Non-Retreat
Faced with this situation, all the emperors of the Nanchen Empire present could only hope that Duke Caherro would have some good plan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But to everyone's slight disappointment, Duke Caherro was also at a loss.
In the face of the enemy's posture of sticking to the checkpoint and never attacking, unless the own army breaks through head-on, it will take a long time to detour to an area suitable for the battle of the own army, so it is easy for the opponent in front of it to intercept and destroy the supply line of the army, or even cut off their own rear route.
For five consecutive days, the Nanchen Empire has never seen any emperor make a move in the wave after wave of offensives, and the soldiers who completely rely on the numerical superiority have fought in this hundred mile valley, but they still have not been able to break through the strict defense of the Fengxue Empire, and they have tried all the tactics of fighting for loss and life, but they can only look forward to the enemy army in front of them.
On the battlefield, Youyouzi and the others had already discovered the more than ten emperors of the Nanchen Empire who had been mixed in with the soldiers, but they did not make the slightest report, which was also decided after using the power of the contract to contact Xingchenmeng privately.
In the face of the endless onslaught of the Nanchen Empire, day and night, the handsome camp where Xingchenmeng was sitting outside the Baili Valley could clearly hear the explosions and killing sounds of the battle.
Under the impact of the Nanchen Empire for several days and nights, four legions were sent up, but they were all damaged more than half, or even more before they retreated, although there were strong people like Yuyuko of Xixing Temple, Hakuri Reimu, and Marisa of Misty Rain, but in the face of the opponent's tireless attack and the suppression of the Purple Thunder Cannon, the damage was still very large, and Xingchenmeng had to merge the four legions into two legions again.
In the face of the Nanchen Empire's emperors, the Red Tiger Emperor and others also began to be impatient and manic, and several of them jointly attacked many times to reduce the casualties of their own soldiers, but they were all suppressed by Xingchenmeng in the form of orders.
However, under the strong pressure, there was still a mistake, the Chihai Emperor and the other four emperors, a group of five people finally couldn't help itchy, and ran to the front line to kill without permission, but they were ambushed and attacked by the ten emperors hidden in the Nanchen Empire's legion.
Waiting for Xingchenmeng to learn the news and send reinforcements to arrive, the three emperors and the two emperors of the Nanchen Empire died together, and when the Chihai Emperor and the other emperor were in a hurry, fortunately, Yuyuko and Boli Reimu arrived in time and rescued them, but they were seriously injured, and the angry Xingchenmeng scolded the two of them for a bloody squirt.
The two of them knew that they had killed three colleagues, and they were guilty, but they were unwilling to retreat like this, returned to China to recuperate, and after several thoughts, they had to ask Xingchen Meng for two life-saving pills and threw themselves into their subordinates.
This time, the Nanchen Empire pulled back a game slightly, but the top of the Nanchen Empire did not have any joy, but had decided to retreat and advance, the first wave of reinforcements of the Fengxue Empire will be able to arrive at noon tomorrow, although the follow-up army has encountered many obstacles, but obviously there is no chance to recover the northwest coastal area, the only way is to temporarily abandon there, do not let the opponent further expand the results.
After a few days of strong attack, the corps of the Nanchen Empire far exceeded the opponent's attrition, and six of the eight legions that fought suffered heavy losses, with serious attrition, with losses of more than seventy percent, and two legions lost more than fifty percent of the soldiers.
Seeing the irreparable situation, Duke Caherro wept and said, "After nightfall, the rear team will change into the front team, retreat to Shanglin Province, and wait for the decision of the ancient ancestors."
None of the people objected, it should be that this countermeasure could be the best countermeasure at this time, and then we had to face the reinforcements of the enemy's thirty legions, and it was the greatest victory to be able to hold Shanglin Province and not let the opponent further expand the results of the battle.
"I don't agree" Just as Duke Cahro finished speaking, outside the big tent, a girl wearing battle armor and a ring dress walked into the handsome camp in a menacing manner, and everyone in the field looked at this woman without anyone accusing her, but with a slightly helpless expression.
Duke Caherro looked at the person who came to the Nanchen Snow Dance Princess who went out with the army, this time the 27th Field Army directly under the command of the Snow Dance Princess also lost more than half, and he must have felt very uncomfortable, and after the eldest princess went, he had completely replaced the former's position, and his identity was extremely noble, far above himself, even if he was a first-class duke, he had to listen to his words, so as not to lose proportion.
"Snow Dancing Princess, today is still so charming, presumably..." Princess Caherro quietly avoided the topic and couldn't help but praise her.
Nanchen Xue Wu directly ignored Duke Kahro's praise and said bluntly, "Lord Duke wants to retreat and retreat to Shanglin Province!"
When Duke Caherro heard that Princess Snow Dance went straight to the point, and seeing that it was still early and there was still plenty of time, he began to patiently explain, "That's true, the other side's reinforcements are coming, and it will be unfavorable to us in the battle, and we may even be surrounded by the other side. ”
Nan Chenxue frowned, it was indeed as the Duke of Caherro in front of him said, the crisis was coming, but she still stubbornly said, "I don't agree." ”
Duke Caherro was shocked when he heard this, although the Snow Dancing Princess in front of him was arrogant, but he was not the kind of person who did not know what to do, although the opponent was Mont Lante, who killed the eldest princess, and his own sister were destroyed in his hands, but he should not be so impulsive, although he was slightly angry in his heart, but he couldn't say it.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Snow Dance, please listen to the old man's words, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, not to mention that this kind of war is not an overnight victory, our first priority is to keep the remaining areas from being destroyed by the Maple Snow Empire," Duke Caherro patiently explained.
"No," Nan Chenxue said resolutely.
Duke Caherro was also a little annoyed when he heard Nanchen Xuewu's tough tone refusal, but in the face of this imperial pearl, he once again suppressed his anger, his eyes rolled, and he had to say kindly, "I don't know what Her Royal Highness Princess Snow Dance thinks, you might as well say it, if there is a good strategy to retreat from the enemy, you can say it bluntly, but just want to rely on your will, then the old man has to think about the lives of the empire and dozens of soldiers under his command, and retreat to Shanglin Province." ”
Seeing that Duke Caherro was actually angry with Princess Nanchen Xuewu, all the marshals and emperors around him panicked and began to persuade, and then Nanchen Xuewu signaled that his attitude towards Duke Caherro was a little inappropriate just now, and said apologetically, "I didn't mean to target Lord Duke just now." ”
"Don't dare to be!" Duke Caherro snorted coldly, although his mouth was hard, his face had softened, and he was a lot more relieved to look at the people around him.
