Chapter 754: Retreat
When he received this news, Qin Ning was really taken aback, this was obviously the Northern Prince's calculation of the expansion of the scale of the Hundred Days Tribulation in the Qin army, and he took advantage of the reduction of the Qin army's poisoned combat effectiveness to retaliate!
But according to this line of thinking, the Northern Prince should wait a few more days. If you wait a few more days, the Hundred Days Tribulation will cause a larger scale of poisoning, and the combat effectiveness will be even worse at that time.
Qin Ning told Sha Xingping about this idea, and felt that there was something he hadn't thought of.
Sha Xingping thought for a while and said, "General Qin, I think the timing chosen by this guy from the Northern Prince is just right. If we have cured the poison of the Hundred Days Tribulation, this is the weakest time, after all, we have spent a lot of energy to detoxify. If we don't solve it, there will be a lot of poisoned people, and we will consider retreating. All things considered, there's never been a better time to do it. ”
Qin Ning felt that it was also very advantageous when he heard this, so he nodded and said: "General Sha is reasonable, now I don't think I can have a head-on collision with the Northern Prince for the time being." Although the poisoned warrior recovered, we still have to observe, for fear that there will be any recurrence, and we can't take this risk. In this way, you lead a hundred thousand Qin troops to escort the soldiers who have just recovered from poisoning to retreat to Moko City, and I will take the rest to lead away the Northern Prince. ”
Sha Xingping didn't argue with Qin Ning, Sha Xingping knew that he really didn't have Qin Ning's ability to turn the tide alone, otherwise he would definitely have to fight for this glory.
In order to save time, Sha Xingping immediately ordered 100,000 Qin troops, and quickly retreated to Moko City with the Qin soldiers who had just recovered from poisoning.
After receiving the battle report brought back by the scout again, Qin Ning felt that he should not fight even if he was blocked, because this time the Northern Prince was too fierce. With 200,000 two-legged wolves as the vanguard, and the regular army of 400,000 at the rear. A large number of chariots followed, and there was a momentum to complete the battle.
If the Qin army is entangled with such an opponent. There's really no certainty that you will be able to get out of it.
Qin Ning thought for a moment and decided to lead the remaining 400,000 Qin troops to retreat quickly. Considering that he wanted to cover Sha Xingping, Qin Ning asked the large army to quickly retreat to Tongling City, while he met the army of the Northern Prince.
Flying into the air, Qin Ning instantly caught up with the army of the Northern Prince.
The 200,000 two-legged wolf vanguard army brought a sense of slaughter everywhere they passed, and these expressionless killing machines brought people an intuitive feeling as if the world was apocalyptic.
Behind the two-legged wolf, thousands of chariots rumbled behind, and these were torrents of steel. Hundreds of thousands of normal troops cannot withstand the onslaught of such a torrent of steel.
Behind the chariot were the 400,000 regular troops of the Northern Prince, and Qin Ning could obviously feel that the high-level alchemy ordnance of the regular army of the Northern Prince had made great progress, and he was able to compete with the equipment of the Qin army.
With a cold snort in his heart, Qin Ning shouted loudly in mid-air: "Northern Prince, Qin Ning is here, can you dare to come out to fight?"
It's a pity that after a long time, no one responded to Qin Ning. The prince of the north is afraid of Qin Ning to the core, let alone going out to fight, even if he says a word, he is a little lacking in confidence.
Whoosh ......
In the regular army of the Northern Prince, three large flying machines were raised at once. Leaned over to Qin Ning.
Far away from Qin Ning, two large flying machines came at Qin Ning in a shower of bullets.
Qin Ning laughed and said, "Prince Bei, why did you come up with such a thing to deal with me? If you can get the Hundred Days Tribulation of the Heavenly Realm, there is nothing more powerful to deal with me?"
The voice did not fall. The third large aircraft suddenly popped out a swarthy cannon muzzle, and the cannon muzzle shook slightly. A bright light that could burn people's eyes shot towards Qin Ning.
Not good!
Qin Ning hurriedly dodged, and was able to dodge the frontal attack of this strong light, but a small part of his body was swept by the strong light.
Qin Ning's incomparably strong body actually felt a burning sensation!
Qin Ning felt that the power of this strong light was comparable to his own super cannon, but his super cannon was a big guy, and a large flying machine could not fit it, and the other party was able to equip a similar top-level alchemy weapon in a large flying machine, which shocked Qin Ning.
Qin Ning didn't want to entangle more, anyway, after such a toss by himself, the rhythm of the Northern Prince's march was disrupted, and it would take a lot of effort to restart such a large number of troops to move forward.
On the one hand, Qin Ning won time for the Qin army to retreat, and on the other hand, he also detected that the Northern Prince actually had such a super weapon, which was a worthwhile trip.
Thinking of this, Qin Ning turned around and leaned down, his body made several continuous changes of direction in mid-air, and the large flying machine couldn't keep up with Qin Ning's change of direction at all, and was thrown away by Qin Ning at once. In desperation, these flying machines had to slip back.
Qin Ning deliberately circled in front of the two-legged wolf a few times to attract the attention of these killing machines, and then led these guys in the direction of Tongling City.
After Qin Ning was sure that the two-legged wolf was attracted by him, he circled and flew into the air, chasing the Qin army that had retreated to Tongling City.
The Northern Prince knew that it was pointless to chase Qin Ning, so he ordered the two-legged wolf in front to stop and wait for the chariot to connect with the regular troops behind before moving forward.
Looking at the huge army, Qin Ning was secretly frightened, fortunately, all the people in the city were mobilized to Moko City, otherwise the arrival of the army of the Northern Prince would probably be bloody again.
When he arrived at Tongling City, Qin Ning immediately ordered the Qin army to build fortifications. The army brought by the Northern Prince this time is very different from the previous opponents of the Qin Army, if it is defended according to the conventional defense, Tongling City may not be able to withstand an impact of the Northern Prince's army.
Qin Ning organized people to first lay out a large defensive formation in front of Tongling Pass, Tongling Pass is a critical place, the last time the Qin army took Tongling City, it was because Guo Mo attacked Tongling Pass, and went around to lead behind Tongling City.
If Tongling Pass is sealed, then Tongling City will be integrated with the mountain range behind it, and Tongling City will only withstand the enemy's attack on three sides, and the pressure on defense will be greatly reduced.
The formation that Qin Ning set up in front of Tongling Pass was the strongest defensive formation he could come up with, and it could be said that in the entire continent, no one had been able to crack this formation.
The rest is the defensive deployment of the open land on three sides of Tongling City, and Qin Ning has made targeted deployments for some special legions and equipment configuration of the Northern Prince's army.
On the open ground on three sides, Qin Ning ordered his soldiers to dig three trenches deep and wide enough to prevent the attack of the Northern Prince's chariot group.
Qin Ning laid more than 20 super cannons on the three city walls facing the open ground in Tongling City, and in the gap between the super cannons, heavy artillery was interspersed.
In addition, many narrow holes were dug in the walls of Tongling City, which were used by snipers for shooting. After doing this, Qin Ning suddenly had an idea, and asked people to set up a table on the gate building of Tongling City.
Qin Ning ordered someone to cook a pot of fragrant tea, and tasted tea on the city gate building to watch the scenery.
Soon after, the army of the Northern Prince arrived at the perimeter of Tongling City, and the Northern Prince concentrated all 200,000 two-legged wolves on the front of Tongling City, and the chariots were divided into two equal parts and arranged in the direction of the two flanks of Tongling City.
As soon as he saw Qin Ning's formation in Tongling City, the Northern Prince also felt a headache.
Three trenches are enough for the Northern Prince's busy work for a while, to say that the Northern Prince's army is so huge, let alone three trenches, even the three ravines can be filled in a short time.
But the key is that the location of the trench is very particular, and it is exactly within the range of the heavy artillery of the Qin army. If you want to fill the trench, you have to step forward, and if you step forward, you will enter the range of the Qin army's heavy artillery, and how many people will have to fill it.
It is rare that the prince of the north does not have the habit of trembling when he sees Qin Ning, and this time he seems to be a little high-spirited. However, after all, the Northern Prince still did not fly into the air as before, and shouted to Qin Ning with great domineering.
This time, the Northern Prince stood on the ground in a high-profile manner and shouted to Qin Ning on the gate tower of Tongling City: "Qin Ning, don't you and your Qin army have no opponents on the entire continent? Why did you see the army of this prince today, and put down this posture of stubbornly defending like a turtle with a shrunken head? Could it be that you Qin Ning is afraid of this prince? Hahaha, it is really feng shui in turn." ”
Qin Ning ignored the Northern Prince, with the teacup in his hand, looking into the distance, as if the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northern Prince did not exist at all.
The prince of the north waited for a long time and didn't see Qin Ning take care of him, he was a little annoyed, and shouted: "Hey, Qin Ning, are you deaf? If you are afraid, say it earlier, this prince may consider letting your Qin army die a happy death." Otherwise, this prince will let you Qin army survive and not die!"
Qin Ning still didn't look at the Northern Prince, and said leisurely: "If you dare to fight in person, no matter how many people you bring, Qin can take it alone." If you are brave, even if you let the horse fight, if you don't dare, quickly hide away, don't delay me to see the scenery. ”
These words choked the Northern Prince severely, the Northern Prince dared to say anything cruel, and dared to do anything ruthless, but only practicing with Qin Ning alone, the Northern Prince would not have the courage to do anything.
The haze in the heart of that serious injury was already a lingering nightmare for the Northern Prince, and he couldn't help but tremble even thinking about it.
"Qin Ning, do you dare to release the Qin army and have a face-to-face battle with my army? If I lose, kill or kill me as you please!"
Qin Ning, who was on the tower of the city gate, finally turned his eyes to the Northern Prince, but he also glanced at it.
"Ahem, I didn't expect you to fall to such a point, and you actually played the radical method with me. Let me ask you, why didn't you say this when I was facing the allied forces of you and the Blackwater Empire, which were twice as large as mine? Is it that now that there is a master behind you, the dog has the courage to say this? Since this is the case, you are not worthy to talk to me like this, and let your master talk to me.
