Chapter 236: The Cause of Defeat
"What's going on? What's going on?" The Heaven Dou Royal Knights and the Heaven Dou Soul Master Legion were very puzzled at this time, and whispered in a low voice.
But because their personal qualities are quite high, they did not fall into panic.
Lu Yuan and Oneiroi watched the heavy armor army in the distance gradually surround them, and they suddenly felt bad.
The Heaven Dou Royal Knights and the Heaven Dou Soul Division Legion together were only more than 50,000 people, and although the Soul Master Legion was strong, it was impossible for 3,000 people to face the opponent's hundreds of thousands of troops.
"Dream Sect Committee, now we have to retreat." Lu Yuan said to the Oneiroi machine at this time.
Oneiroi nodded, "Just do what Lu Yuan said."
I don't know why this is the way it is, but at the moment, the situation is stronger than people.
At the beginning, Lu Yuan could rely on the Zhennan Pass Heavenly Danger and use 100,000 troops to resist the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Star Luo Empire, or even millions of troops.
But now that this is on the plains, there is no natural danger to rely on, even Lu Yuan has to avoid the edge for the time being.
"The whole army retreats!" Lu Yuan's soul power carried the sound and said in a trembling voice.
"Yes! General!" The Heaven Dou Royal Knights and the Heaven Dou Soul Master Legion both said in unison.
Fortunately, both the Heaven Dou Royal Knights and the Heaven Dou Soul Division Legion were ready to retreat at any time if they lost the war, and even the Soul Master Legion prepared horses for each of them, and they had the same ability to retreat at any time as the Heaven Dou Royal Knights.
They directly turned around and began to retreat to Jialing Pass, which was not far away.
"Want to go?!" Seeing this, Dai Qingxiao, who was in the state of the Netherworld White Tiger, said coldly.
"The whole army obeys! Besiege the enemy army! Keep them behind at all costs!" He directly ordered, "After the deed is done, you will be rewarded!"
"Whoever kills Lu Yuan, he will be the Earl of the Empire! Whoever captures Lu Yuan alive will be crowned Duke of the Empire!"
Dai Qingxiao now knew that Lu Yuan was powerful, even if Lu Yuan didn't have a strong cultivation and outstanding talent, his ability to open space and teleport in a wide range was enough to reverse the situation between the two empires.
He couldn't have imagined that one day, Lu Yuan would open the portal and directly lead the millions of soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire to the Imperial City of the Star Luo Empire!
"Yes! Your Majesty!" The entire army of the Star Luo Empire said excitedly in unison.
Lu Yuan heard Dai Qingxiao's words, and immediately sneered and said, "Want to keep me? You Star Luo Empire don't have the ability to do this!"
"Retreat! Cut off by me!" He shouted.
"General!" Gao Kai, Cheng Qixiao and other Lu Yuan's cronies were suddenly shocked, and they all wanted to persuade him, "It's better for your subordinates to cover your retreat."
Lu Yuan waved his hand, "Don't worry about me, you just need to cover the retreat of the Soul Master Legion and the army, it's not so easy for the Star Luo Empire to kill me!"
He has the "Dance of Death" effect of the true body of the Death Star, the protection of shadow armor, the ability to hide shadows from the shadow, and the life-saving skills such as the small dance soul ring, the teleportation of soul bones, the invincible golden body, and the phantom of nothingness, and he is indeed confident that he can escape from the siege of the Star Luo Empire.
If you want to kill him, the Star Luo Empire, a force that doesn't even have a Title Douluo in China, is not qualified enough.
If this was a war with the Soul Palace, he might still be worried about his own safety.
But the Star Luo Empire, that's still far from it.
"But ......" Cheng Qixiao, Gao Kai and the others were still a little hesitant.
"At the moment of the military order, you still want to disobey the order?!" Lu Yuan frowned and said solemnly.
In the army, military orders are like mountains, not to mention that Lu Yuan just ordered to retreat, that is, he ordered them to be sent to death after being cut off, and they all had to do it.
Gao Kai, Cheng Qixiao and the others had no choice but to give up their hands helplessly, "Yes! Obey the General's orders!"
They immediately retreated with the Heaven Dou Royal Knights and the Heaven Dou Soul Division Legion, and although the Oneiroi Machine was a little worried about Lu Yuan, they were still persuaded by Ning Rongrong to lead the troops back.
Ning Rongrong naturally knew Lu Yuan's ability, and after experiencing the underground abyss incident, he believed in Lu Yuan very much.
In her opinion, Lu Yuan has self-confidence
What he did, even if it was the current Martial Spirit Palace, it was impossible to stop him from doing it.
At this moment, the surrounding Star Luo Empire army wanted to surround and block the retreat of the Heaven Dou Royal Knights and the Heaven Dou Soul Master Legion.
However......
"Scythe Sweep!" The Death Star Demon Scythe in Lu Yuan's hand became ten times larger again, and then swept through with a giant scythe.
Whether it's light cavalry or heavy infantry, they're all cut off by the Death Star Scythe at this moment!
"You don't deserve to keep us!" Lu Yuan's god-like blue figure suddenly blocked the back of the Heaven Dou army, staring at the Star Luo Empire army in front of him.
The god-killing realm erupted unreservedly, and scared to death several unlucky ghosts with poor physical and psychological qualities.
Suddenly, the footsteps of everyone in the Star Luo Empire army were forced by Lu Yuan's terrifying momentum and paused.
This is also understandable, after all, in front of them, it is a figure like a killing god!
"Don't stop me! Give it to me!" At this moment, the generals of the Star Luo Empire behind them all ordered in unison.
They gritted their teeth, after all, the military order was like a mountain, and they still rushed towards Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan sneered, and directly started the ruthless killing, it was really how many people came, how many he killed.
It was as if his physical and spiritual powers were endless.
In fact, everyone in the Star Luo Empire didn't know that Lu Yuan, who was in the state of the incarnation of the Death Star, was no different from cleaning up a bunch of small soldiers for Hong Kai in the game to suck blood!
In the continuous killing, even the injuries suffered by Lu Yuan who had just carried the Netherworld White Tiger Po had almost recovered at this moment.
"No!" Dai Qingxiao looked at Lu Yuan and said, "You can't stop him like this!"
"Lan'er! Let's move on!" He shouted.
"Good! Your Majesty!" Zhu Lanxi's voice came from the Netherworld White Tiger.
Then the Netherworld White Tiger moved instantly, pointing directly at Lu Yuan!
Lu Yuan suddenly felt a breath of qi lock on him, pointing directly at him.
I saw a huge black and white two-color Menghu, with its fangs open and waving a few meters long claws made of soul power, heading straight at him!
The claws of its hands flickered unsteadily, and the distorted light made it impossible to tell where it was really going to attack, coupled with the sharp fangs.
They expected that even if Lu Yuan was King Kong's incorruptible body, coupled with the Netherworld White Tiger Breaker who had carried them just now, he was already at the end of his crossbow at this moment, and if he hit them again, not to mention killing him on the spot, he would definitely be seriously injured on the spot, and he would never be brave again!
However, Lu Yuan snorted coldly when he saw this, "Wither insect skill!"
He held the Death Star Scythe high and slashed dozens of Star Luo Empire soldiers around him, freeing up more space for him to fight back more conveniently!
"Whirling Scythe Sweep!"
Turning around, spinning, attacking, three simple actions in one go, in an instant, the power of heaven and earth seemed to be condensed in his simple movements, and the huge blood-colored demon scythe had swirled out with a round of scarlet blood moon, as if it had cut through the void, in the illusory distorted light and shadow, straight towards the Netherworld White Tiger.
Seeing this, the Netherworld White Tiger was suddenly shocked, and turned defense into attack, directly with sharp claws in front of him, acting as a shield.
However......
The claws of the Netherworld White Tiger were directly cut open by the Scarlet Demon Scythe, this is the incomparable edge of the Death Star Demon Scythe!
Fortunately, the Netherworld White Tiger is a martial soul fusion technique, and its huge body is not composed of Dai Qingxiao and Zhu Lanxi's flesh and blood, but an energy structure.
In an instant, the claws broke open, and the free soul power was like snow, and the frost returned to the heavens and the earth.
Immediately after, the Death Star Demon Scythe slammed directly into the White Tiger's torso behind the Netherworld White Tiger's claws, and most of it was directly embedded in the shoulders of the Netherworld White Tiger's huge body, and it stopped.
It's not that the Death Star Demon Scythe's blade isn't sharp enough, it's that Lu Yuan's kinetic energy poured into the swirling scythe sweep has been exhausted.
But the next moment, the Netherworld White Tiger still disintegrated directly, and although Dai Qingxiao and Zhu Lanxi fell to the ground steadily like nothing, their faces were still quite pale.
And the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire seemed to see that Lu Yuan did not have the Death Star Demon Scythe in his hand, and thought that Lu Yuan was not so terrifying, so he rushed forward with a light in his eyes.
However......
"Darkgold Dreadclaw!" Four blade-like claws directly pierced the throat of a Star Luo Empire soldier who rushed up!
"Eight Spider Spears!" Immediately after that, several Star Luo Empire soldiers who rushed up from both sides of Lu Yuan's side were also pierced by the sharp spider spears.
"Death Star Claw Strike!" Then a huge claw-shaped energy wave appeared, and the energy wave was filled with a dead silence and broken aura, and directly rushed towards the Star Luo Empire soldiers who were constantly surging in front of him.
Although the lethality was not as good as the giant scythe swept by the Death Star Scythe in his hand, it still seriously injured the Star Luo Empire soldiers in front of him.
And then of course......
"Red Devil Flame Kick!" Lu Yuan's right leg burst out with terrifying flames, and then his right leg flew to kick the Star Luo Empire soldiers who came in front of him again, but this time he directly kicked more than a dozen Star Luo Empire soldiers in front of him!
Although he got rid of the Death Star Demon Scythe Martial Soul, he didn't have any combat ability except for the Death Star Demon Scythe.
He is now a person with five soul bones, a 100,000-year soul bone, a 10,000-year soul bone, and three external soul bones!
That is to say, Xiao Wu's soul bones only have two soul bone skills that are biased towards the ability to save his life, teleportation and invincible golden body, otherwise his combat ability will definitely be stronger if he is out of the martial soul!
Although Lu Yuan's body did not have a lot of exercises like Tang San, with the blessing of his soul bone, he still had the strength of close combat.
He even used the three-headed Red Demon Dog's right leg bone soul bone technique, which had been rarely used.
Then, at that moment, the Death Star Scythe flew upside down and returned to his hands.
Suddenly, the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire looked at him with horror in their eyes again.
Anyway, Lu Yuan, who still has the Death Star Demon Scythe in his hand, is a little more terrifying.
At this time, the Heaven Dou Royal Knights and the Soul Master Legion were also about to retreat to Jialing Pass.
In the rear, although the army of the Star Luo Empire was still rushing towards the retreating Heaven Dou Royal Knights and the Soul Master Legion, the vast majority of the Star Luo Empire army was blocked by Lu Yuan.
The Heaven Dou Royal Knights and the Soul Master Legion fought while retreating, without slowing down their retreat speed at all, and soon they saw the gate of Jialing Pass!
"Stop them! Stop them! Stop the suspension bridge from rising!" The army pursuing the Star Luo Empire still shouted.
However......
"Cover the friendly army into the city!" On the majestic city wall of Jialing Pass, there were suddenly countless arrows condensed by flames!
The arrow missed the accuracy of the pursuing Star Luo Empire army, and even not only accurately, but also directly pierced the heavy armor of the Star Luo Empire army, seriously injuring those pursuing soldiers!
There is no doubt that these are the sharpshooters of the Flame Army, who did not attack with the army, but guarded the Jialing Pass.
At this moment, covering the retreat of the army, they played a vital role.
By the time the Heaven Dou Royal Knights and the Soul Master Legion retreated into the city, Lu Yuan saw that it was almost the same.
His mind moved, and his right hand flashed with blood-red light, "Teleport!"
Then he disappeared directly in place, with a teleportation range of one hundred meters, the advantage is that the consumption is extremely small, and it is instantaneous.
Lu Yuan directly broke away from the encirclement of the Star Luo Empire's army, and then his figure flashed, and he had already returned to the gate of Jialing Pass.
"Pull up the suspension bridge! Pull on the suspension bridge!" The general of the city gate shouted.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the Star Luo Empire, the suspension bridge of Jialing Pass was pulled up, and then slowly closed.
"Your Majesty......" Wren, Wang Qianjian and a group of Star Luo Empire generals all knelt on one knee at the feet of Dai Qingxiao and Zhu Lanxi with pale faces.
Dai Qingxiao shook his head, "Don't think too much, it's not your fault this time, besides, ......."
He looked at Jialing Pass, "We didn't lose this time."
……
In the Jialing Pass Discussion Camp.
"Boom ——!" Ge Long slapped his big hand, almost smashing the long table in front of him, and his face turned pale at the moment
Red, it can be seen that his temperature is extremely high now, and his mood is very angry!
He stared coldly at the marshal of the four kingdoms in front of him, and said angrily, "Tell me! Why did you flee at the critical moment?"
The marshals of the four kingdoms were silent, even if their king was there at the moment.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Goron became even angrier, "Do you know what you're doing?! Directly broke and fled on the battlefield, resulting in an imbalance on the frontal battlefield, and even more so that our original plan failed, almost causing the Royal Knights and Soul Master Legions of the Empire to be wiped out!"
"What the hell are you doing?!"
Lu Yuan and the others only understood at this moment why they suddenly shouted retreat on the frontal battlefield, and at the same time, the Star Luo Empire's heavy armor legion on the frontal battlefield also directly surrounded them.
It turned out that the United Army of the Four Kingdoms had fled directly!
The combined army of the four kingdoms on the frontal battlefield has a full 400,000 army, and the Xuanwu army and the Fengwu army only have a total of 100,000 troops, that is, only one fifth of the proportion.
As a result, the United Army of the Four Kingdoms fled, so can the frontal battlefield not collapse?
"The army of the Star Luo Empire is too fierce...... We've suffered heavy casualties......" stammered Hores, the marshal of the Oka Kingdom.
"In hindsight, you have only suffered 80,000 casualties!" Hearing this, Ge Long directly threw the casualty statistics in front of him on Horres's face, and said angrily.
"Eighty thousand troops! Less than a quarter of the casualties of your combined kingdom army this time, you will flee?!" His tone was extremely cold, "Because of your rout, not only did the Royal Knights' plan fail, but they almost couldn't retreat!"
"If it weren't for the presence of Celestial Shadow General, this time it would have been a big defeat!"
Not to mention anything else, if the Heaven Dou Royal Knights and the Soul Master Legion were wiped out in this battle, the Heaven Dou Empire would definitely suffer heavy casualties - even if it was only more than 50,000 casualties.
But these more than 50,000 people are all the elite of the Heaven Dou Empire, not to mention the ace legion of the Royal Knights, which is one as ten, even if the three thousand soul masters are wiped out, they will directly reduce the soul masters in the Heaven Dou Empire by one-fifth!
This is all because the United Army of the Four Kingdoms has less than a quarter of the casualties, and it will flee directly!
When Lu Yuan, Andrew and the others heard this, they couldn't help frowning, less than a quarter of the casualties could cause the army to break and flee, and the combined army of the four kingdoms was too bad.
"That's a mistake, Lord Marshal, the frontal army of the Star Luo Empire is extremely fierce, and it is not our ability to match......" Xin Yaocheng, the marshal of the Tiangong Kingdom, suddenly stood up and said with a deep breath.
"That's not why you're fleeing!" Ge Long said coldly, "On the battlefield, not to mention that there are only more than 80,000 casualties, even if you fight until there is only one soldier left, you must continue to fight for me!"
"But we can't control them......," Horis said bitterly, "The army broke and fled, and it was not our order, and when the army below saw the casualties expanding, they immediately panicked and did not obey the order at all......
Suddenly, as soon as he said this, Lu Yuan, Ning Rongrong, the five great military marquis, and Ge Long present were speechless.
It is said that the kingdom and the public *** team are rotten, but now they can see that they are indeed very bad.
Compared with the regular armies of the two empires, it is a group of miscellaneous armies with loose discipline and worrying literacy.
Lu Yuan suddenly remembered at this time that in the original plot, when the Wuhun Hall recruited these kingdoms and principalities to establish the Wuhun Empire, and used the combined army of these kingdoms and principalities as a normal army to resist the attack of the two empires, it seemed that it was also like this, and it was quickly defeated.
This can completely see how big the gap is between them and the regular army of the Heaven Dou Empire, if the Ten Thousand Soul Master Legions of the Wuhun Hall - the Angel Legion and the Holy Dragon Legion are the strongest kings, the Royal Knights of the two empires are grandmasters, and the other Wild Lion Riders, Fengwu Armies, and Wind Riders are all diamonds, then these Kingdom Principality Combined Forces are platinum and gold.
There is a certain combat power, but not much, and it is easy to get infighting because of defeat, and it is okay to fight a worse miscellaneous army, or to take advantage of the situation and fight a tailwind battle.
If you face the elite army, or the situation is against the wind, you can't fight at all.
It's almost the same as those so-called motley armies - silver.
Ge Long took a deep breath and said coldly, "If there is a next time, we will deal with you by military law!" When the time comes, don't blame me for not leaving anyone behind!"
"Thank you, Marshal!" The marshals of the four kingdoms all breathed a sigh of relief and said.
They were really afraid that Ge Long would be angry and cut them all down.
However, they also knew very well that if there was really a next time, Ge Long would really dare to cut them all down, and the military would be correct.
Ge Long can sit in the position of Marshal of the Heaven Dou Empire, naturally he is not an idle person, in addition to military exploits, his military management methods are definitely not soft.
Everyone here knows this, even Lu Yuan has heard about the history and some deeds of Ge Long and the five great military marquis after joining the Heaven Dou Emperor.
Ge Long can be in his fifties, almost without relying on his family power to ascend to the position of marshal, and he has the reputation of the marshal of the nine lives, he must have something unique about him.
"Next, let's talk about what to do next." Ge Long frowned and said.
"Yes, Marshal." The crowd responded.
