Wu Fanghai led the army to retreat again and again. After the second line of defense, there is no danger to defend.

There were some big cities along the way, but the cities alone couldn't stop the army.

After the second line of defense is Gwangling County, which, unlike the rest of the counties, is almost half the size of the Land of Qixia, which is the core of the Country of Qixia.

But we also know that often the so-called heartlands, whose ability to directly engage in war, are weak – they can export war, but if war breaks out directly in these places, it will be disastrous.

The 350,000 troops of the Kingdom of Jinyang pursued the victory and broke through the defense line for hundreds of miles in one go, only to temporarily stop because they were worried about the back road and other problems.

Wu Fanghai finally got a respite and reorganized the legion. After counting the army, Wu Fanghai's face became even more ugly. There are less than 150,000 left in the army! Considering false reports, wounded, etc., the fighting force should be below 120,000!

At the beginning, there were more than 500,000 troops guarding the border of the country of Qixia, but now there are only less than 150,000 remnants left...... There is only this little power left, how to protect the country!

At the border, the 500,000-strong army relied on strong border defenses and failed to stop the enemy, and at this time, there was no danger to defend, and only 150,000 remnants of the army were defeated, what would be the result?

Moreover, almost all the baggage, supplies, etc., of the army were lost.

Wu Fanghai could only rectify the soldiers nearby, and at the same time report the situation here to the rear.

............

At this time, Sima Zhen held his body and came to the city tower, looking down on his more than 300,000 troops.

After a fierce battle, the army of more than 300,000 inevitably suffered losses, but there were still more than 300,000. And after this battle, everyone regained their confidence, and the morale that was about to collapse was reunited.

Moreover, the reunited morale is like quenched steel, which is even more firm. At this time, the soldiers were shouting, but they were also neatly and orderly sorting out all kinds of loot.

Looking at the spirit of the soldiers, Sima Zhen smiled with satisfaction.

By noon, the relevant statistics came out. Sima Zhen was even more satisfied when he saw the report.

Although Wu Fanghai ordered the destruction of all the materials that could not be taken away, in fact, because the rout was too fast, coupled with a large number of deserters, etc., Wu Fanghai's order was not well executed.

What's more, the army of the Kingdom of Jinyang has gone crazy - they are real wreck. The war under the certain death made the army of the country of Jinyang burst out with unimaginable combat effectiveness.

However, after being excited, Sima Zhen looked at the cannonball next to him, but his brows furrowed deeply. In the past half a day, when the soldiers were cheering, Sima Zhen was thinking about this strange weapon.

At first, Sima Zhen also agreed with Diao Deshan's defensive suggestions, but soon Sima Zhen shook his head, and he was very keen to find a serious problem:

This strange weapon can be attacked at any time, and according to what has been seen before, it can reach a range of up to 20 miles, in other words, within 20 miles, it is completely within the range of attack.

If you want to defend, you must have a huge formation enchantment to completely wrap the 20-mile range. The consumption of spirit stones is unimaginable. Moreover, it is difficult to move the formation - you can only defend yourself, defend in place!

Obviously, this is never a good idea.

The best way is to treat others the way they do!

It's just that until now, Sima Zhen didn't know what the name of this weapon was. Really...... A tangled question.

was bombarded, and most of the high-level generals were dead and crippled, and they didn't even know the name of the weapon.

But soon Sima Zhen smiled again. This war bought the army valuable time by securing enough supplies to at least easily wait for the next wave of supplies.

There is also the further defeat of the frontal defense line of the country of Qixia, although the side defense line failed, but it is nothing, the victory of the frontal battlefield is more important than anything else, especially the main army of the country of Qixia is further weakened to less than 200,000, which is the biggest victory.

When the attack reached the palace of the country of Qixia, everything was solved.

Sima Zhen thought so, and at the same time reported the situation on the front line to the rear: The new weapons of the country of Qixia must be clarified by sending spies, etc., and at the same time, the country should be careful. In addition, for the next material support, it will be better to replenish more bows and crossbows, and it would be better if reinforcements could be provided.

And the army has a hard bone next: Jiuyang Sect!

Jiuyang Sect is also in Guangling County, southern, but closer to the army of the country of Jinyang; if the Jiuyang Sect sneaks in, or participates in the war, it will be a huge test for Sima Zhen and the country of Jinyang that cannot be ignored.

Jiuyang Sect is the largest sect in the country of Qixia and has a long history. The history of the Jiuyang Sect can even be traced back to 8,000 years ago, while the history of the founding of the country of Qixia today is less than 3,000 years.

In other words, the heritage of the Jiuyang Sect may even surpass that of the royal family. Of course, this is only possible.

Sima Zhen couldn't figure out the situation of Jiuyang Sect, he thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to ...... it himself Hey, it's better to send one of his own soldiers to take a trip to Jiuyang Sect with his own handwritten letter.

Before the war, it was irrational for a seriously wounded commander to leave his army behind and negotiate in a dangerous environment to go to his position.

Sima Zhen pondered for a long time, changed his manuscript several times, and finally wrote a 'letter of persuasion' with hundreds of words.

In the book of persuasion, there is no word such as 'surrender', but a lot of talk about the past and future of the Jiuyang Sect.

............

When the news of the defeat arrived at the palace, the palace of the country of Qixia was in a panic. The Emperor, or 'Crown Prince', panicked. He really panicked!

Could it be that he looked forward to the stars and the moon, finally looked forward to the old man, and finally ascended the throne, but he could only be an emperor for a month?

I won't say how others panicked, anyway, the prince is already a little desperate. He shouted hoarsely, reprimanded and even insulted Wu Fanghai for misleading the country, and wanted to transfer Wu Fanghai back for punishment.

The officials were silent, and everyone looked at the new emperor who was a little crazy, and there was a deep disappointment in their eyes.

Wu Fanghai has done his best, if it weren't for Wu Fanghai, it's hard to say what the country of Qixia would look like now. When the emperor died, if it weren't for Wu Fanghai's unruly arrangement, I was afraid that the enemy army would have hit the imperial capital long ago.

But now, everyone can only sigh.

Finally, Prime Minister Ouyang Si was still a little calm, and he turned his head to look at Yu Tiegan, the secretary of the Ministry of War: "Where are the millions of reinforcements from all over the country?"

Yu Tiegan hesitated a little: "This ...... There are only about 200,000 of them, and they will converge with General Wu Fanghai today. ”

"200,000, the whole country can organize this amount of troops?" Ouyang Si's voice was a little sharp.

Yu Tiegan's face struggled: "Some families are scared, or they have been secretly bought!"

But at this moment, there was an excited voice from the envoy of Xingchang County: "Xingchang County has won a great victory, beheading 30,000 and capturing 70,000!"

"What?"
