Chapter 59: The Return of the War King

"Withdraw!" Seeing this, King Rui immediately gave the order to retreat.

The main battle of Mengcheng is a defensive battle, relying on the formation of the city. If you have no advantage, it is obviously not cost-effective to fight a war of attrition with the other side.

After King Rui gave the order to retreat, the army of the Feather Clan began to retreat effectively, without leaking, not giving those Moon God Sect giant beasts a chance to fight back at all.

Zhong Chi naturally did not entangle, but slowly retreated, allowing the army to retreat into the city first. He and the two generals were more of a broken rear, not letting a large number of giant beasts catch up.

King Rui looked at the huge beasts that had been reinforced in large numbers, and his face couldn't help but change, this Moon God Sect actually had so many soldiers.

The army was all withdrawn to the city, and after Zhong Chi was broken, there were no casualties due to the retreat. King Rui was also decisive enough, and when he saw a large number of reinforcements coming from the other side, he chose to retreat as soon as possible, and if it was a little later, a large number of soldiers might be killed.

War is ever-changing, and as a commander-in-chief, you must be able to observe the entire battlefield in an all-round way and make accurate judgments on the pros and cons at the first time. Otherwise, a wrong thought, or even a hesitation, may cause irreparable damage.

"Strengthen the defense of the formation, only defend and not attack!" King Rui immediately ordered.

Those hundred-foot-tall giant beasts were all dismantled and turned into a large number of sergeants. Under the arrangement of the two generals, many sergeants were transferred to support the defensive formation of the city.

In the light curtain, King Rui and the two generals both frowned, and muttered, "How much strength does this Moon God Sect have? ”

"No wonder this Moon God Sect dares to suddenly attack openly, the number of this sergeant alone has reached tens of millions. "General Tuoba was also surprised by the number of sergeants of the Luna Cult.

"I look at the Moon God Sect, I definitely don't want to be an ordinary thief, there is no large territory, how can so many soldiers be gathered?" General Peng Yue also frowned, thinking that the Moon God Sect had dispatched so many soldiers to fight, and the number of soldiers who could attack in Mengcheng should be limited, but he didn't expect that Ren Ran would reach nearly 100,000 troops.

Zhong Chi was suspended in the air, listening to what King Rui said, but he didn't make a sound. However, Zhong Chi could see that in the face of the large number of sergeant reinforcements of the Moon God Sect, the 30,000 sergeants in Mengcheng were already overstretched. Fortunately, they are the defenders of the city, and with the Mengcheng Array to rely on, they can still hold on for a short time.

King Kerui and the others all understood that there would be no more reinforcements from this Mengcheng. Because almost all the soldiers of the Yu clan have already participated in the battle. This is the largest invasion ever encountered by the Feather Clan.

In the absence of the superiority of the sergeants, the only thing that Mengcheng can rely on is the combat ability of the commander and the duel between the peak powerhouses.

However, the Eagle Falcon that the Moon God Sect had just revealed, even if King Rui and Zhong Chi joined forces, they would not be able to defeat each other, let alone kill the Eagle Falcon. Besides, who knows if the Luna Cult has any help or tricks?

"Marquis Jingyu, two generals, let's go back first!" King Rui looked at the enemy troops below who were constantly attacking the city protection array, as well as the eagle falcon constantly calling for the formation, and did not pay attention to it, but went back with Zhong Chi and the others to discuss the enemy's strategy.

In the city lord's mansion, it has now become the military tent of King Rui, and the city lord has temporarily moved out of the city lord's mansion.

"Two generals, the situation is tense now, and it is worse than I imagined. The power of this Luna God Cult, we still underestimate it. Can the two generals break the current stalemate?" King Rui looked at the two generals, Peng Yue and Tuoba, and when it came to marching and fighting, it was obvious that the two of them were more knowledgeable.

"In the current situation, as long as we stick to it, the Luna Sect can't do anything about us in the short term. Their advantage is not enough to break through our moat. Peng Yue muttered: "When the enemy army does not reinforce again, or show other means, we can choose to brake quietly." ”

"I also agree with General Peng Yue's opinion, His Majesty Emperor Yu is to let us stick to Mengcheng. After all, the current war is much more than just our city. We don't seek merit, but we seek the best without fault. Tuoba also nodded and said.

"Yes!" King Rui also sighed, this Moon God Cult launched a large-scale attack at the same time, and it was the time when the War King led the three million War King troops to go out to fight. Obviously, there has been a long collusion between the Luna Cult and the Fire Nation. King Rui's brows were also tightened, he was a member of the royal family of the Yu clan, and the entire Yu clan was the world of their clan, of course he was even more worried.

Zhong Chi can be regarded as understanding why the number of soldiers of the Yu Clan is actually less than that of the Moon God Sect, and it turns out that the number of soldiers of the War King's grandfather is actually as high as three million!

What Zhong Chi didn't know was that at the peak of the war king's personal soldiers, they even exceeded 10 million, accounting for almost one-third of the proportion of all sergeants in the entire Yu clan. The War King is a sharp sword of the Yu Clan, which makes several surrounding regions and countries extremely fearful.

However, with the old age and decay of the war king, the war king's pro-army continued to shrink, from tens of millions of pro-soldiers to 3 million. But these three million pro-soldiers are the real ace henchmen of the entire Zhanwang army, and they are not much stronger than the pro-soldiers accepted by ordinary generals.

This is also one of the reasons why the War King dared to kill directly to the Fire Country with a mere army of three million.

"Thinking of my Yu Clan, when the War King was strong in the past, who in the eight surrounding countries didn't fear my Yu Clan? Now that the War King is old and is on the expedition, this is why the Moon God Sect that came out of nowhere dares to show his teeth and claws to my Yu Clan!" When Peng Yue talked about the War King, he suddenly looked in awe, which showed that Peng Yue was also a general who respected and respected the War King very much.

"The War King has been ordered to rush back, and I believe that it won't be long before the War King will be able to return. When the time comes, as soon as the War King Army appears, it will definitely be able to defeat this small Moon God Sect in a big way!" King Rui is also extremely confident in the War King.

When Zhong Chi heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and listened carefully, only then did he know that the prestige of Grandpa Zhan Wang among these generals and princes was so high.

When King Rui talked about the King of War, he also subconsciously glanced at Zhong Chi, the two generals who were fighting outside may not know the relationship between Zhong Chi and the King of War, but King Rui has been staying in Yuhuang City, and he is very clear about the relationship between Zhong Chi and the King of War.

"Jingyu Hou, what do you have any opinions?" King Rui looked at Zhong Chi, who had been silent.

At the same time, Peng Yue and Tuoba also looked at Zhong Chi. Zhong Chi has used his own strength to prove that Zhong Chi is definitely worthy of the title of prince. Therefore, he also looked at Zhong Chi with some expectation, wanting to see if this genius who was from the human race like the War King had any unique suggestions.

But soon they were disappointed, Zhong Chi's talent in cultivation was undoubted, but when it came to commanding the three armies and fighting on the battlefield, Zhong Chi seemed to be the same as ordinary people, not good at it.

"I don't have any good advice, just fully cooperate with King Rui and the two generals!" Zhong Chi said bluntly.

King Rui nodded slightly and said, "Well, according to the meaning of the two generals, we don't seek merit, but we seek no fault." Hold on to Mengcheng for the time being, and brake quietly!"

The war in Mong, like many other cities, was temporarily deadlocked. The Yu clan passively relied on the city to defend it, while the army of the Moon God Sect came to attack the city guard array every day, and the commander was constantly calling for war outside.

With the passage of time, almost every three days, there would be a new battlefield in the border cities of the Yu Clan, and in the blink of an eye, a month passed, and ten more border cities were attacked. And the response plan made by the Yu clan is also unchanged, sending 30,000 soldiers to defend the city.

Under such a stalemate, even Zhong Chi, a person who doesn't know how to march and fight, can see that the Yu Clan and the Moon God Sect seem to be fighting each other on the surface, but this is not the real beginning. Both sides seem to be waiting for something, and once one side has waited for what it wants, the change will launch the most violent attack as soon as possible, and that is when the real big war begins.

In the past month, Zhong Chi would often be called to the City Lord's Mansion by King Rui to discuss the current battle situation, or what new orders Emperor Yu had orders. And more time, Zhong Chi was devoted to cultivation, and he was the most idle one among everyone.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and more than two-thirds of the border cities of the Yu Clan have been attacked. However, in the following month, the battlefield did not continue to disperse, and it was obvious that the Moon God Cult had also reached its limit and could not continue to attack the Feather Clan more extensively. However, the Yu clan was also very embarrassed, with nearly 600 cities, even if each city was only defended by 30,000 soldiers, it would take more than 18 million soldiers. Moreover, the number of soldiers gathered in the other dozen or so border cities was far less than 30,000, but hundreds of thousands.

In the past three months, Zhong Chi has also been cultivating wholeheartedly. At the same time, he also heard good news that the War King had finally rushed back to the Yu Clan. The return of the war king suddenly boosted the morale of those who had fallen into a depression.

When the King of War returned, Emperor Yu personally received him, and at the same time conferred the title of commander of the three armies of the King of War. The command of the battle with the Moon God Sect was all handed over to the War King.

When the war king returned, he did not rush to the war immediately, but waited for a month and gave the first order. And this first order is extremely puzzling. Originally, a large number of princely-level powerhouses of the Yu Clan were assisting in the big battle in the major border cities, blocking the pace of the Moon God Cult's capture of the Yu Clan's cities.

But the King of War actually let Emperor Yu be silent, and directly dispatched half of it back. , This is how King Rui of Mengcheng was sent back to Yuhuang City, and the burden of Mengcheng actually fell on Peng Yue. And Zhong Chi was not dispatched to the Imperial City.

This move, all the princely-level powerhouses who were transferred back expressed their incomprehension, but Emperor Yu agreed to the battle king's approach without hesitation.

Except for this first order, the War King never issued any more orders, and as for the War King's three million personal soldiers, it seemed that they had completely disappeared and did not appear on any battlefield.

For a while, the impasse between the Feather Clan and the Moon God Sect did not seem to have changed at all. The battle plan, as at the beginning, still could not be maintained. This move of the War King made everyone puzzled. I don't know how the War King wants to fight this battle.
