The balance of victory began to gradually tilt towards Mu Jinyun, Qi Jinwan watched silently for a while, shook the fan lightly, and said lightly: "Well, the fighting soldiers can't fight, pass the order, step by step, the front army and the rear army alternately cover, withdraw the troops!"

Under an order, the Tianrui army admitted defeat and retreated, and the front and rear armies alternately covered and retreated.

Tianze's army then pursued, but Qi Jinwan was defeated but not chaotic, and the defeated army was always in a group, so that Tianze's pursuers did not get too much bargain.

After hearing the report, Mu Jinyun felt that since he couldn't take advantage, there was no need to chase anymore, so he immediately ordered to stop the pursuit and collect his troops and return to the camp.

After a big battle, the morale of the Tianze army was naturally high, and this was the first time that under the conditions of the same strength, the elite army of Chen Haotian was defeated, and the whole army was like a rainbow, and a sense of pride arose.

The loot of this battle is also extremely rich, and these are all real trophies, unlike the last big wholesale of fakes.

Unlike ordinary sergeants, Mu Jinyun couldn't be happy, and after the statistics after the war came out, Mu Jinyun was even more distressed.

Of the 2 million army, there were only more than 1.2 million people left on their side, and the casualties were close to 800,000. It is conservatively estimated that the casualties on Qi Jinwan's side should be around 1.5 million.

Combined, the casualties were close to 2.3 million, and the strength of the two large battalions was wiped out in this way, and the internal friction was in vain.

In Mu Jinyun's opinion, the dead and injured are all his own people, and the losses are all Tianze's vitality, how can he be happy.

Everyone saw that the king's mood was not high, and they could guess his true thoughts in his heart, this kind of thing was not easy to persuade, so they could only say goodbye and retreat with interest.

Xiao Xiangyi wanted to comfort him a few words, but before she could say a few words, she couldn't help but sigh with him when she remembered the heavy losses on the battlefield!

The Second World War ended in a tragic victory for Makitsu Cloud.

After the end of the war, the balance of power between the two sides changed radically.

Before the Battle of the Gate, Chen Haotian sent a total of more than 20 million troops.

In addition to the army that made up the number, the actual army that could be used was almost nine million people, compared to Mu Jinyun's army of six million people, Chen Haotian had an absolute advantage in numbers.

After the two wars, the situation quietly changed.

In the first battle, Tang Zhengquan lost nearly one million people, mostly due to self-trampling.

In World War II, the losses were close to 1.5 million people, and these people were real battlefield losses, caused by being killed and wounded by the enemy when fighting with the other side.

In the two wars, Chen Haotian lost a total of 2.5 million people, and the number of troops dropped sharply from 9 million to 6.5 million.

There were almost no casualties in the first battle of Makitsuyun, and 800,000 people were lost in the second battle.

This time, Mu Jinyun sent a total of six large battalions with about 6 million people, and after this battle, the number was reduced to about 5.2 million.

Six and a half million versus five million and two million, Chen Haotian's advantage in the number of troops is no longer so obvious.

If all off-the-field factors such as combat effectiveness and morale are taken into account, then the actual situation will be that Mu Jinyun has reversed the tide of the battle and achieved a relative advantage over Chen Haotian militarily.

It's just that I don't know what Mu Jinyun would think if he learned that after the two battles, the actual number of people on both sides was as high as 3.3 million, and whether he would feel even more distressed.

These people are the absolute elite of the original Tianze Kingdom, and the strength of three large battalions is completely destroyed in this way.

In Tang Zhengquan's deputy marshal's big tent, the old prime minister and Chen Haotian were interrogating, and the monarch and ministers were relatively speechless.

At this time, the balance of strength in the battle situation has been reversed, and for this pair of monarchs and ministers, they all know each other.

There are only a few elite Yiran that Chen Haotian can call.

The Tianwei Kingdom in the north has been eyeing him, which makes people have to guard against it, and the black-clothed army is also like a maggot attached to the bone, always planning to bite him.

They were entrenched on the northern border, firmly holding back a large part of Chen Haotian's forces.

There are still elite soldiers in more than a dozen internal states, but these states don't listen to the name, and they have dealt with it there before, and after the defeat in the two wars, don't expect to be able to get elite soldiers out of the hands of those old fritters.

As veteran military strategists, Chen Haotian and Tang Zhengquan are well aware of the fact that the balance of strength between the two sides has been reversed, and it is difficult for their side to launch a large-scale offensive again.

Chen Haotian was silent for a while, and asked helplessly, "What countermeasures does he have?"

Tang Zhengquan replied: "There is no news for the time being, don't be anxious, this battle is not the fault of the eldest prince, strictly speaking, our side is only retreating, not a rout." ”

Chen Haotian sneered: "Defeat is defeat, Zhengquan doesn't have to deliberately excuse him." ”

Tang Zhengquan hurriedly said: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, it's just a war now, when the account is raised tomorrow, I will ask the eldest prince about countermeasures, and ask the king to be more patient." ”

Chen Haotian nodded, and then asked, "Zhengquan, what do you think about retreating our troops now and leading Mu Jinyun's military disaster to those old immortal realms?"

Tang Zhengquan muttered: "King, if you do this, will those old guys ..."

Chen Haotian snorted: "You want to say that they will rebel, I just let them rebel, in order to preserve their strength, they are against me, can it be that when they face Mu Jinyun, they are willing to sacrifice their family." ”

Tang Zhengquan was silent.

Chen Haotian sneered and said: "I can conclude that they must bargain with Mu Jinyun, if Mu Jinyun agrees to their request, my situation today is his Mu Jinyun's predicament tomorrow, and those hot potatoes will be handed over to his Mu Jinyun." ”

Tang Zhengquan still didn't say anything, frowning and thinking repeatedly.

Chen Haotian continued: "Zhengquan, if you think about the truth here, in order to beware of these old things rebelling again, Mu Jinyun must be the same as me, and he has to divide his troops to deploy defenses, and at that time, how many troops can he still come to attack me." ”

"If Mu Jinyun doesn't agree to those conditions, how can the old guys demote him, in order to keep their family business, they must fight to the death with Mu Jinyun. Hehe, at that point, we'll just have to watch from the sidelines, and when they're both defeated, we'll be waiting for an opportunity. ”

Tang Zhengquan pondered for a moment, and said to Chen Haotian: "The old minister thinks that the king's strategy for the troubles is feasible, and the old minister suggests that if the situation is urgent, can the king consider the north..."

Tang Zhengquan didn't say it explicitly, but Chen Haotian knew what he wanted to say.

Once the war situation is uncontrollable, there is still one last way to go, that is, to sell the title of the king, bow down to the Tianyuan Kingdom, and dedicate the thirty-eight states of the original Tianze Kingdom to Tang Ruozhong with both hands, in order to obtain the protection of the Tianyuan Kingdom.

This road Chen Haotian easily did not dare to go, this is no different from forgetting his ancestors, once he Chen Haotian decides to do this, he will become a joke in the mouths of others for the rest of his life, and that shame will make him never be able to raise his head.

Chen Haotian was silent for a long time, sighed and said helplessly: "Let's take a look, maybe the situation will not develop to that point." ”

Tang Zhengquan echoed: "I hope that as the king said, the situation will not be eroded to that extent, the king, the old minister still recommends that you be more patient, wait for the decision of the eldest prince, if it is not in line with the king's wishes, and then act according to the king's plan." ”

Chen Haotian nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, Qi Jinwan was in the big tent of the Chinese army, and all the civil and military forces stood in shifts, and the generals who had made up the numbers had already gone back before the war, so in the big tent of the Chinese army, one side was full of people, and the other side was empty, looking very incongruous.

Qi Jinwan didn't care, smiled and turned her head to look at the civil and military, why did she turn her head, they were all standing on the side, of course they had to turn their heads to look.

Tang Zhengquan sat beside him, his brows furrowed slightly, stretched out his hand, and waved his hand slightly towards the empty side, and waved his hand slightly at the civil and military forces.

Zhong Wenwu didn't understand what it meant at first, Old Man Tang was a little angry, and waved his hand vigorously, everyone then understood, and half of them stood on the other side, and now they looked at it, and it was much more coordinated than just now.

In the big tent, the positions of the civil and military personnel are coordinated, but the morale is not high, and they all look depressed and listless.

Tang Zhengquan's brows furrowed even deeper, he sighed secretly, and asked Qi Jinwan: "Eldest Prince, what should we do next, Eldest Prince, does the eldest prince have a good plan?"

Qi Jinwan waved the fan, fanned it lightly on his chest, and said with a smile: "After the previous battle, I already have an understanding of the strength of both the enemy and us, the old prime minister doesn't need to be anxious, I know what to do." ”

Tang Zhengquan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Oh, in this way, the eldest prince has a countermeasure, can you explain it to the old man, so as to solve the old man's worries." ”

Qi Jinwan smiled and said: "The old prime minister doesn't have to be anxious, just wait and see, it won't take long for the old prime minister to understand." ”

Tang Zhengquan didn't know why, and wanted to continue to ask, but Qi Jinwan no longer paid attention to him, and ordered the civil and military forces in the tent: "Pass my commander's order, the army will immediately pull out the camp, subject to the foot strength of the mortals in the army, and then camp after approaching the pass every day, the forward battalion of the army will be deployed every day, and the middle army and the rear army will follow, and the army must fight steadily and steadily, and there must be no mistakes, those who violate the order will be killed!"

The civil and military forces are not clear, and they don't understand what the marshal is doing, but since the marshal has an order, they all obey the order.

Tang Zhengquan didn't understand Qi Jinwan's intentions, what was this going to do, he was confused and wanted to ask to understand, Qi Jinwan just said: "Don't be impatient, don't leak the secrets, after a few days, everyone will naturally understand Ben Shuai's intentions." ”

After retiring the account, Tang Zhengquan reported the matter to Chen Haotian, who pondered for a long time, and couldn't figure out what his son wanted to do, and under Tang Zhengquan's persuasion, he decided to observe it for a few days before speaking.

After the commander's order was issued, Qi Jinwan's army pulled out the camp and set up the village, based on the foot strength of mortals, and forced it in the direction of the guard.

Every day is not much line, only fifty miles, every day is the forward battalion first, after reaching the designated position, set up a battle formation to wait for strict prevention, the middle army and the rear army followed, the overall formation of the army is rigorous, without any flaws, step by step towards the guard pass.

There has already been a report to the commander of his own side and the military staff cabinet on the dynamics of the opponent's army, and Mu Jinyun and the civil and military forces are also unknown, Qi Jinwan What is this going to do, is he preparing to attack the city?

In the current situation, Qi Jinwan still dares to attack the city, that's great, let him attack!

Mu Jinyun decided to leave him alone for now, and wait until he figured out Qi Jinwan's true intentions before making plans.
