Chapter 469: Retreat to Jialing Pass
"There is no movement from the large number of soul masters gathered in Wuhun City, and the Star Luo Empire has crossed the border line and headed in the direction of Wuhun Palace." Hu Liena was in charge of intelligence, and after receiving the latest movements from the Star Luo Empire, she immediately came to Bibi Dong to report.
"How many troops has the Star Luo Empire dispatched?" Bibi Dong asked with a calm face.
How many soul masters can be gathered in the Martial Spirit Palace, she, the former Pope, knows it very well, and it is even much clearer than Qiandaoliu's great worship who has only recently started to take charge.
It depends on how many troops the Star Luo Empire will use.
"No less than 600,000!" Hu Liena replied.
Bibi Dong nodded, and the difference between the forces used by Tiandou and Tiandou was not very big.
The total number of Heaven Dou's real armies is nearly one million, and the Star Luo Empire is even more, but it is impossible to use them all.
The Star Luo Empire probably still has to guard against a thousand streams, and it must retain some troops to stay behind.
On the side of the Heaven Dou Empire, the loyalty of the surrounding affiliated kingdoms and principalities cannot be completely guaranteed, and troops must be kept to guard against it.
Those kingdoms, principalities, and the like were closer to the Martial Soul Hall before, but now that the Martial Soul Hall is divided, Tang Qingxi's side has also exerted a lot of pressure, and those kingdoms and principalities have not directly thrown themselves to the side of Qiandaoliu.
Hu Liena thought for a while, and there was still some news to report: "There seems to be some change in the Barak Kingdom, and there is a soul master who has reported that the Barak royal family seems to have contact with the Wuhun Palace, but there is no definite news yet." ”
"Barak, it's nothing more than trying to be a wall grass." Bibi Dong didn't feel surprised, Tang Qingxi had bloodily cleaned up some of the martial soul sub-halls in the Heaven Dou territory before, which made these kingdoms and principalities a little frightened.
But now that Qiandaoliu has joined forces with the Star Luo Empire, these kingdoms are obviously thinking about which side to choose.
Qiandaoliu is not stupid, and he will definitely contact, if he can rebel against some kingdoms and principalities, it will obviously have a lot of benefits for the war situation.
"I see." Bibi Dong said this, then turned around and prepared to go to Tang Qingxi.
Maybe there should be some new arrangements, and now that Tang Qingxi is the Pope, and he is the direct contact with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, Bibi Dong does not plan to cross Tang Qingxi to make a decision.
Bibi Dong knocked on the door of the secret room, and Tang Qingxi walked out: "Is there any movement over there in the Star Luo Empire?" ”
"It's already opened, and it should converge with the Thousand Streams first." Bibi Dong said, "It seems that the Qiandaoliu side is still trying to contact those kingdoms and principalities. ”
"Oh?" Tang Qingxi smiled and came to the garrison with Bibi Dong.
"See His Majesty the Pope!" Hu Liena is still waiting in the military tent.
Tang Qingxi waved his hand and walked to the central position.
In the center of the military tent was a huge sand table, and Tang Qingxi looked at the map and terrain drawn on the sand table.
"There's not much movement in Barak yet, right?" Tang Qingxi asked.
"Yes!" Hu Liena nodded.
Tang Qingxi said again: "But it's confirmed that they have contact with the Martial Spirit Palace, and they haven't reported it, right?" ”
Hu Liena: "Yes! ”
Tang Qingxi looked at the sand table, the Barak Kingdom itself directly bordered the sphere of influence of Wuhun City, but its terrain was not very suitable for defense.
She still needs time, naturally in the early stage, Tiandou's side will focus on defense, and it is not realistic to use Tiandou's national strength to counterattack the combined army of Xingluo and Wuhun City.
Unless there is an existence that can directly affect the balance of the battle, such as a god.
And once Qiandaoliu makes a move, the Barak Kingdom will also bear the brunt of the attack, and it is obvious that the Barak royal family is also panicking.
After all, if Tiandou's side can't defend it, Tiandou's army can withdraw, but the Barak Kingdom will be finished.
Moreover, the Heaven Dou Empire had also summoned troops to the Barak Kingdom before, and the number of troops mobilized by Barak was not quite right.
Obviously, they will most likely not give a choice that satisfies Tang Qingxi.
Tang Qingxi picked up a sign and tied it on the sand table, which was a city located near the direction of Tiandou, on the edge of the Barak Kingdom.
"Adjust the defense line and defend Jialing Pass!" Tang Qingxi said, "The main offensive force of Xingluo and Wuhun Hall should also be in the direction of Jialing Pass, after all, crossing Jialing Pass will almost be able to take Heaven Dou City directly. If you attack from other directions, you will have to bypass the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range. The Barak Kingdom is not trustworthy either, so let it go, the army can't give much, it's not much use! ”
"I also have this idea, if you guard Jialing Pass, the rear will be more assured, and you don't have to worry too much about the supplies. Otherwise, if Barak betrays, then we will be in great trouble with supplies. Bibi Dong agreed with Tang Qingxi's decision.
"Hu Liena, inform Xueke's side, Barak itself has a lot of troops left, and once it betrays, it will cause a lot of trouble to the rear." Tang Qingxi instructed Hu Liena directly.
After all, Tiandou is facing today's crisis, and Xue Ke's original decision to unite with Tang Qingxi is inseparable, in order to calm some dissent within the empire, Xue Ke directly chose to fight in person.
The choice she made, she chose to face the brunt of it.
This is also convenient for Tang Qingxi's side, if you contact those generals of Tiandou, there is a good chance that they will not pay attention to Tang Qingxi's decision.
Xue Ke received Tang Qingxi's news, the reaction and attitude of the Barak Kingdom, Xue Ke has always had opinions, and in the face of such a decision, he naturally has no opinions.
Xue Ke immediately summoned Marshal Ge Long, the supreme commander of the Heaven Dou Army.
"Marshal Ge Long, the army of the Star Luo Empire has begun, and a great war is about to start. The attitude of the Barak Kingdom has always wavered, and the current defense line is not stable, and it is necessary to guard against the betrayal of the Barak Kingdom at all times. I decided to move the line of defense directly and mainly defend Jialing Pass. On both sides of the Tianling Mountain Range, just arrange a part of the troops to defend it, and the army is ready to retreat to Jialing Pass! ”
Ge Long frowned: "Your Majesty, is this going to give up the Barak Kingdom directly?" ”
"Not bad!" Xue Ke nodded, "Since Barak is wavering, let's directly help the Barak Kingdom make a decision." ”
After all, the defense line moved directly back, and the Barak Kingdom had no choice.
Either they directly took refuge on the side of Qiandaoliu, or they were flattened by the army of the Star Luo Empire.
"Jialing Pass is also the best defense point, which can be attacked and defended." Xue Ke said again.
Xue Ke didn't discuss with Ge Long, but just announced his decision.
Although Xue Ke has a somewhat weak temperament, his methods have always been a bit iron-blooded after taking the position, and in the face of Xue Ke's order, Ge Long didn't dare to say anything, Dugu Bo stood beside Xue Ke and looked at him coldly.
"Yes, the last general obeys!" Ge Long received the order and immediately went out to announce the military order.
As a result, the many legions of the Heaven Dou Empire began to adjust their positions and retreated in the direction of Jialing Pass.
The army of soul masters assembled in the Soul Hall of Tang Qingxi Town also retreated to Jialing Pass, and they were all stationed at Jialing Pass, so it was more convenient for them to communicate directly with each other.
It's just that the kingdom of Barak was dumbfounded.
