Qin Ning felt that it was necessary to gather the troops, as a commander, not only to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of his subordinates, but also to dig out some bad signs hidden under the successive victories as soon as possible. 'There is no distance between a big victory and a big defeat.

Most of the generals were a little puzzled by Qin Ning's recall of troops under such a smooth attack. This is a good time to expand the results of the battle, and if we continue to work hard while the enemy is panicking, won't we be able to lay down the situation of victory in one fell swoop?

Qin Ning didn't explain too much, and asked each ministry to rest and consolidate the fruits of the victories that had already won various cities. At the same time, Qin Ning secretly ordered Xijiang City and other major ordnance supplies to transport some things that could not be replenished from the front such as poisonous snakes to the front line in full.

With a high degree of sensitivity to the battlefield shape, Qin Ning scattered all the scouts, and Qin Ning asked the scouts to find out all the information that was nearly two hundred miles deep in front of him.

The poisonous snake guide and other ordnance materials were all in place within one day, and Qin Ning immediately ordered all departments to distribute them to the most basic level operators according to the staffing situation.

At this time, the scouts also came back one after another to report that there was a large-scale assembly of the Eastern Prince's army in the direction of Jiucheng.

Nine cities is a general area, in the area where the nine cities are located six hundred miles deep, there are nine cities, large and small, because these nine cities are very close to each other, and on the same regional plane, people usually call this place the nine cities, and there is only one military and political chief to govern the nominal nine small cities.

Qin Ning called Wang Jian over and wanted to learn more about the details of the Nine Cities.

Wang Jian said: "General Qin, Jiucheng is the largest military fortress in the hinterland of the Eastern Prince. This place is connected by the city. It is like a natural ring fortification, which is often suitable for organizing the offensive and defensive battles of large armies. Hey. General Qin, it's a good thing you stopped us from adventuring. Otherwise, in Nine Cities, our forward battalion will suffer a big loss. ”

Qin Ning shook his head and said with a wry smile: "General Wang, don't say this kind of thing, if you are not careful with an order for the commander, you will incur a situation of defeat and death." It is even possible to lead the country to ruin, and the soldier must have both adventurous spirit and prudence at the same time, which is a highly opposed and unified contradiction, you remember one point. Be accountable to your brethren and be accountable to yourself. ”

Wang Jian blushed and nodded, listening to Qin Ning ask about the situation in Jiucheng again, Wang Jian simply put up a stone for Qin Ning to introduce.

The vicinity of the Nine Cities is full of plains, extending in all directions, and there is no danger to defend at all.

As long as the nine cities are occupied, they can be attacked and retreated, and the nine cities are the only places with fortifications. Because the depth of the Nine Cities is enormous. Even if there are a million lions, they can't be annihilated.

Such a situation gave Qin Ning a little headache, the goal of Jiucheng was too big. The inability to encircle means that the enemy can replenish supplies and soldiers at any time, and the attack of the Qin army is a typical side that does not occupy an advantage.

Qin Ning thought of several sets of combat plans. There is no particularly satisfactory set of plans that can make Qin Ning make up his mind.

In the end, Qin Ning and the generals of the Qin army studied and decided together. On the side of Jiucheng, a little bit of penetration attack of geotechnical excavation was carried out on Jiucheng.

The Qin army sent a special task force of 30,000. On the periphery of the defensive position 80 miles wide due west of the Nine Cities, a clearing operation was carried out, and all the defensive strongholds on the periphery of the defensive position directly west of the Nine Cities were pulled out.

Immediately afterwards, the 200,000 troops of the Qin army advanced with a heavy artillery battalion in front of the defensive position on the west side of Jiucheng.

After a saturated heavy artillery attack, the 200,000 Qin troops easily occupied the outlying positions on the west side of the Nine Cities.

After occupying the position, the two westernmost cities of the Nine Cities were exposed to the Qin army's field of vision.

The advancement was so smooth, which made Qin Ning feel faintly uneasy in his heart. Qin Ning was originally in charge of the command of the entire front in the Chinese army, and immediately rushed to the forward position of the Qin army after hearing the news.

The Qin army had moved the heavy artillery battalion forward and launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the two westernmost cities of the Nine Cities.

The heavy artillery of the Eastern Prince's army had a shorter range than the heavy artillery of the Qin army, and it was impossible to carry out heavy artillery bombardment with the Qin army.

All of them were carried out according to the normal routine, but Qin Ning felt that the normal offensive and defensive routines in front of him were revealing a few strange atmospheres.

The two-legged wolf legion that rushed out was 200,000 yuan, and in a battle of this scale, the Qin army had long had the consciousness to deal with the two-legged wolf legion of such a scale.

Minelayerers, hand artillery brigades, and vipers guided the brigade to effectively carry out strikes in accordance with the tactical plan.

The 200,000 two-legged wolf legions, in front of the powerful ordnance of the Qin army, turned into a sea of corpses and blood.

"Brothers, rush!"

Just when Qin Ning was in a trance by the strong uneasiness in his heart, the ground troops of the Qin army gave the order to charge.

200,000 soldiers of the Qin army rushed to the westernmost two cities of the Nine Cities with a shout.

Qin Ning became more and more uneasy, because at this time, the two cities on the westernmost side of the Nine Cities, the heavy artillery at the head of the city had not been completely destroyed, and the Qin army that should have attacked with bombardment, but the other party did not do so!

There must be a lot of articles in this!

It was too late for Qin Ning to give the order to retreat! The 200,000 Qin soldiers charged with all their might, comparable to a landslide and tsunami, where could an order stop it?

Seeing the 200,000 Qin troops rushing in from the city gate, Qin Ning decisively ordered, and the 200,000 Qin troops adjacent to him immediately followed!

The generals of the Qin army who received the order were puzzled, what happened to the commander, who was usually as calm as a mountain, at this time? Why did he seem a little impatient? You must know that 200,000 fraternal troops have already poured into the city, and if you enter another 200,000 troops, even if you are crowded, the troops will not be able to show their hands.

But it was the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and the 200,000 troops of the adjacent Qin army immediately followed up and rushed towards the two cities.

At this time, the 200,000 forward troops of the Qin army had already poured into the two cities, and Qin Ning suddenly felt a flower in his eyes, and a black shadow disappeared in front of the opening gates of the two cities.

Oh no, it's the mysterious guy behind the Eastern Prince!

"Stop advancing! Retreat! Retreat!" Qin Ning shouted almost hoarsely.

The 200,000 Qin troops who followed up, under the superposition of the two orders, suddenly fell into chaos. Some of the Qin soldiers stopped abruptly, but they were rushed by the Qin soldiers who couldn't hold their feet behind, a large army of 200,000, just like this, you stopped at me, and in the blink of an eye, it was like a remnant of a defeated army.

But no matter what, the 200,000 Qin troops who followed up finally stopped and retreated in confusion, and the Qin army from top to bottom couldn't believe that this was an order from Qin Ning.

Qin Ning flew to the foot of the city gate, and just wanted to rush in, but found that there was a lot of fog in front of him, and he couldn't distinguish between southeast and northwest.

Good guy, the black-robed envoy behind the Eastern Prince actually laid down the maze that Qin Ning is best at here!

Fortunately, the 200,000 Qin soldiers who followed up retreated, otherwise when they arrived here, they would lose their sense of direction in the misty formation and trample on each other, at least tens of thousands of casualties.

With Qin Ning's familiarity with the formation, Qin Ning knew that it was not difficult to break through this mist formation, but it would take a certain amount of time, Qin Ning cared about the lives of the 200,000 Qin soldiers who had rushed into the city, where could he afford it?

Thinking of this, Qin Ning twisted his body and stood up, wanting to fly through the air, but as soon as he left the ground, Qin Ning felt that his cultivation was falling down at a rapid speed, and he couldn't fly at all!

Qin Ning suddenly realized that the black-robed envoy must have laid a node in the mist formation to suppress cultivation, so that he could only break through the mist formation first and move forward.

Qin Ning stabilized his feelings, and according to the understanding of the formation, Qin Ning cracked out of the fog formation little by little.

When Qin Ning cracked the mist formation, Qin Ning was stunned by the qiē in front of him.

The city in front of you is actually a cave inside!

There was also an urn city built in the small city, and the front gate was stuck in the advance route of the Qin soldiers, because there was no heavy firepower, the Qin soldiers who rushed in could only passively face the enemy's fire attack on the wall of the urn city.

Hand cannons, poisonous snake guides, and rainstorm pear blossoms are all useless here, these top-notch alchemy weapons are useless in the face of strong city defenses!

The soldiers of the Qin army who rushed in roughly estimated that most of them had been lost, and after a stick of incense, I am afraid that the whole army would be wiped out!

"Retreat!" Qin Ning almost gritted his steel teeth and gave the order to retreat with difficulty.

Most of the soldiers of the Qin army in this city were killed and injured because Qin Ning arrived early, and in another city, by the time Qin Ning responded, they had already lost three-quarters!

As soon as the Battle of Nine Cities began, the Qin army suffered heavy losses! Although the 200,000 two-legged wolf legions were killed, those were all refined by ordinary people, and they did not cause much damage to the troops of the Eastern Prince.

On the Qin army's side, the battle losses were 130,000, not counting the wounded! The Qin army had never suffered such a big loss under the condition of absolute superiority!

From top to bottom, the soldiers of the Qin army held back an evil fire and vowed to sweep through the Nine Cities!

And Qin Ning was unprecedentedly gloomy, ordering all departments to rest in place, and absolutely not to act without an order!

Qin Ning strictly ordered his subordinates to rest and recuperate, but he was not idle, quietly left the camp, and flew into the air, wanting to reconnoiter the specific defense situation of the Nine Cities.

It seems that the mysterious black-robed envoy behind the Eastern Prince has made a bloody investment here in the Nine Cities, and the entire Nine Cities are all in a state of fog shrouded in fog for six hundred miles.

From mid-air, Qin Ning couldn't observe the situation below at all, and when Qin Ning wanted to land down to observe, Qin Ning felt that there was an endless amount of existence in the mist that suppressed his cultivation.

Qin Ning didn't take any chances, and released his divine sense in mid-air to investigate the situation in the mist, but what his divine sense fed back was a dead silence. (To be continued......) R527
