It was already the end of the day, and the camp of the dynasty army, which was supposed to be lit up with countless lights, suddenly fell silent.

There was no hurried footsteps, no private whispered conversations. Only a few fires remained, fluttering in the night wind.

A few hours ago......

"Withdraw?" Xin Su and Jiang Zheng stood up at the same time, they were both amazed by King Ning's decision!

Why? According to King Ning's character, he would never adopt the advice of Li Cunshan and his ilk, what happened in the middle!

"I heard that King Ning went to Mo Yiyue's camp yesterday, and when he came back, he ordered the withdrawal of the army. Although Situ Yan defected to the Dynasty Army not long ago, he could clearly feel the movements of any person in this battalion.

It's this Mo Yiyue again! What the hell is he doing!

Even Bi An, the main attack faction and the main defender faction didn't understand why Mo Yiyue would let King Ning adopt the suggestions of Li Cunshan and others.

"Li Cunshan, Zou Qingran and others, don't learn and don't have skills, and the corpse is vegetarian. If you follow their wishes, how can the dynasty army be undefeated!" Bi An was so angry that he beat his chest, how could the military order be like a mountain, King Ning's decree had been issued, and no matter how much he opposed it, he still had to implement it.

"General Bi, if you are asked to divide the troops into two routes, some of the old and weak will be handed over to King Ning to take to Jiuli, and some of the elite will stay here to ambush the demon army, what do you think?" Situ Yan seemed to have guessed some of Mo Yiyue's thoughts, so he also had a plan, wanting to make a contribution when the army was withdrawn. He knew that once the dynasty army retreated, the demon army would chase after him when he heard the news, so if he set up an ambush on the road he had to pass, he would be able to surprise him and make a great achievement.

Although the main battle faction is led by Bi'an, and both ideas and actions are very radical. But on this issue, he really didn't dare to make a mistake. Ning Wang Yizhi ordered the withdrawal of the army, even if he was about to capture the prince of Peng alive at this moment, he Bi'an must obey the order and withdraw his troops. This is why King Ning trusts him so much, absolutely obeys military orders, whether it is right or wrong, he only listens to King Ning's last orders.

"Sir's method is wonderful, but Bi An doesn't dare to act so recklessly, since King Ning ordered the withdrawal of the army, I will immediately return to the camp for rectification. As soon as Bi An's words fell, he was about to walk outside the tent, but he bumped into King Ning coming in.

"King Ning!" everyone bowed in unison, and Yi Xiao waved his hand to signal them to get up.

He also heard the words of the people outside. After glancing at it, everyone was already ashamed of themselves, and they all bowed their heads and remained silent, but Bi An was neither humble nor arrogant, and asked with his head: "King Ning, since you are here, I am not afraid of your blame." I just want to ask, why did you order the withdrawal of Jiuli?"

Yi Xiao nodded slightly when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "Since our army came out of Jiuli, it has been defeated repeatedly, and its morale has been frustrated one after another, and it has become the end of a strong crossbow. If you continue to defend this place, you will be surrounded by demon armies from all sides in a few days and fall into a desperate situation. Mr. Mo gave me a good way to get out, first, I can preserve my strength and prepare for the alliance; second, I can watch the fire from the other side, once the demon clan loses its goal, it will kill each other because of the merit; as for the third ......, "he originally wanted to say that the third is to ease the internal differences of our army, whether it is fighting or defending, once it loses again, there will be civil strife." But after thinking about it, saying too much about this will only deepen the contradiction between the three parties, and Mo Yiyue has instructed that the matter of checks and balances should not be revealed too much, so as not to make his subordinates suspicious and destroy the distribution of power between checks and balances.

"Without further ado, our army should withdraw overnight, lest the demons find out. Yi Xiao said, called Bi An to one place alone, gave him some instructions, and then ordered him to retreat.

And what exactly is the thing instructed? In fact, it is not difficult to guess that Situ Yan also noticed a little bit earlier. That is to set up an ambush on the retreat road to intercept and kill the pursuing soldiers and horses of the Three Demon Kings.

Mo Yiyue's meaning is very clear, it's just the truth that people have lost their land, the land of Zhongzhou, let it go, retain its strength, and then make plans when it is regrouped. And during this period, it is necessary to consume the strength of the demons, and the demons occupy such a vast area, and it is definitely not possible to garrison without soldiers and horses. Youzhou is located in the northeast, a cold and barren land, with few things and sparsely populated people. These hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses don't know how many years the demon clan has saved up for many years with the power of the country in the dark north. If the dynastic army kills him, he will have one less, and if he kills him, he will have one less. The dynastic army was different, and the local battle won the hearts of the people, and the world gathered to respond. How many tens of millions of soldiers did he command? He did not fight a temporary war of annihilation and gave up local tactics. Instead, choose to fight a war of attrition and strategically outperform your opponent. This is the strategy that Mo Yiyue left to Yi Xiao.

......

Early the next morning.

"What! The imperial army has withdrawn? When did it!" On the top of the highest tower in Sanmenxia, Prince Peng took the barrel mirror away from his eyes, and was furious, and loudly questioned the scouts who came to report.

"It must have been last night, and when I visited the camp as usual this morning, it was already empty. He trembled when he replied, everyone knew that Lord Peng was notoriously moody, and he killed people without blinking.

"Waste, get out!" King Peng shouted, and the scout ran away like a dog in the scolding like a life-saving straw.

Zhu Tai Sui on the side snorted, and said angrily: "Chasing? Now is a good time, once they withdraw to Jiuli, relying on the natural barrier of Jiuxin Mountain, it will be difficult for our army to annihilate the remnants of the dynasty army in one fell swoop." If you don't want to fight and prolong the war, you must cut down the grass and eradicate the roots!"

Wang Ye Peng nodded, and the two frowning eyebrows suddenly appeared, as if he had thought of something.

"You lead the Flame Army out of the customs immediately and pursue the Dynasty Army. I ordered a letter to be passed on, asking Ma Mojun to stop patrolling and lead the Wind Army to join you on the road, you two travel lightly, walk 800 a day, and a thousand at night, be sure to catch up with them before the Dynasty Army returns to Jiuli, and capture Yixiao for me!"

"Day and night......" Zhu Tai Sui hesitated slightly, "If it doesn't stop day and night, even the old horse's wind army may not be able to do it!"

"Fool, I told you to either hurry during the day or at night, if you don't stop day and night, even if you catch up with the dynasty army, what can you do?

"Wrap it up on me!" Pig Tai Sui patted his chest, shook his fat body and turned down the tower.

Lord Peng narrowed his eyes and whispered to himself: "Hmph, want to escape from my eyes? "The sky in the distance is gradually covered with clouds, and the sunny days have been more than a month long, and everyone knows that this rain must be fierce. It is expected that the army of his dynasty is old and weak, and he will not be able to run fast when he withdraws on foot in the rain.
