The Demon Cult army retreated like a tide, and this was their third charge today.

Xuanyuan Qing felt that something was abnormal, since the first few days of mad and demon-like battle, there had never been such a high-intensity battle.

If something goes wrong, it must be a demon, and the Demon Sect must be thinking about what kind of moth.

"How much is the battle loss today?" Xuanyuan Qing asked his subordinate generals, who are the juniors of the Ying family, and Ying Wuji.

"General Hui, more than 3,600 people were killed in the battle, and more than 5,300 were wounded!"

"Let's catch up with the total number of casualties in the previous five or six days. ”

"Not only that, I'm afraid it's more, about seven or eight days. ”

Xuanyuan Qing thought for a while, "Have you ever seen their arrow tower?"

"Yes, and twice as much as yesterday. ”

"It's not good, the order will go down, and each will send a sentry to investigate, but I'm afraid that the Demon Sect is preparing to withdraw. ”

As soon as Ying Wuji heard this, his ears immediately turned up, why didn't he think of this. In such an abnormal situation, the Demon Cult army must be doing something to come out.

Sure enough, even if the Demon Sect deliberately covered up its whereabouts, it was still impossible to evade the detection of the sentinels. After getting the situation, Xuanyuan Qing immediately summoned the generals and sent a message back to the rear.

Before the arrangement could be announced in a hurry, the guards gasped and reported.

"The Black Wind position was broken through, and the demon clan army passed through the defensive position and approached Faming Temple!"

With a bang, the generals on the left and right stood up.

Shen Guangtang is currently the most capable person on the righteous path side, if he can't even handle it, there is indeed no one in the righteous path who can stop the demon clan's edge.

"Do you know why?"

"The news is that the demon clan uses demon magic, and as long as the demon clan soldiers are not hacked to death or incapacitated, they will spare no effort to rush forward. Many of them had swords stuck in their bodies, axes hung on them, and hammers wrapped around chains and hammers to rush forward. ”

When everyone heard this, they not only gasped, this is not a new thing, many people have used this kind of evil art before. But the demon clan used him on a large scale on the soldiers, which was definitely unprecedented.

A bunch of people chattering and commenting for a while, but it also quieted down, and for now, the situation they faced was not so easy to handle. In case the Demon Sect is advancing by retreating, luring the enemy to go deeper, and silently advancing into an encirclement, it is also a dangerous thing, although it may not necessarily be wiped out, but it will definitely be greatly damaged. At that time, don't talk about containment, it is very likely to be counterattacked by the other party.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the current form is already clear to everyone, and there is no other way at the moment, it is impossible to let the Demon Sect withdraw. We must be in pursuit, otherwise, they will be a new force wherever they go. While pursuing, be careful not to fall into the trap of the other party. ”

The generals agreed with a bang, and then assigned specific tasks. Fortunately, the generals in front of him are all people who have experienced blood and fire, but they are not worried that they will capsize on various small issues.

"Mowgli, tell me about the information that the spies came back from the previous spying. ”

Ying Wuji perked up, took out a roll of maps, spread it on the table, and said, "I took advantage of the middle of the night to order someone to reconnoiter to ensure that the enemy did not know." Jiangyang is the most important military town in the west of Baihua, which originally belonged to Jiuli, and only fell into the hands of Baihua ten years ago, so they have a passage in the northwest direction, so it is extremely valued. ”

After letting everyone study the sand table for a while, they said: "They have stationed two legions outside the city for a long time, both of which are in 10,000 people, and they are located in the north and south, echoing each other, and the original intention should be for daily defense. As for the defenders in the city, there are about 20,000, which is rare in the city of Baihua. If something happens, the soldiers from the valley can also send troops to help. So it's very important. Jiuli made this city, the original intention was to strengthen the connection with Baihua. And this city will be the target of their withdrawal this time. ”

"If I am the commander of the Demon Sect, I will inevitably set up an ambush in this narrow valley, and once I enter it, I will be cut off from behind, and it will be a situation of closing the door and beating the dog. ”

"No, although this valley is a necessary road, the slopes on both sides are gentle, flat and facing north, and it is not difficult to defend. As long as the time comes, split two flanks to sweep. ”

"So will the masters of the Demon Cult intercept us somewhere in the field? ”

"It shouldn't be, according to my observation, nearly half of the masters of the Demon Sect have left, in the past, it was two people who pressed the formation, but today they are replaced by one person. I'm afraid this is their last defense, and the main forces have already moved to their headquarters. ”

"It seems that the army has put a lot of pressure on Jiuli. ”

Seeing that everyone was almost discussed, Xuanyuan Qing motioned for everyone to pause.

He spoke: "Therefore, in this battle, in addition to pursuing from behind, it must also be attacked with surprise troops. Attack it unprepared, so that you don't get disrupted by the other party's rhythm. ”

Ying Wuji said: "Baihua has built a lot of beacon towers on the outer highlands, and there are people observing it day and night, if the army is opened, even at night, it will still be detected, and it is difficult to hide from the other party's ears and eyes." ”

Ji Ruofei patted his chest and promised: "I am responsible for this matter, and I guarantee that no beacon has the opportunity to sound the alarm." "He is the leader of the Flying Feather Guard, so he naturally has this confidence.

Xuanyuan Qing said: "Thirty thousand cavalry tonight, ready at any time, gather at the forward position after nightfall." It was expected that they would retreat in the second half of the night, and when the time came, the men and horses would pick up the bells, and quietly step forward and bite the team. Then he found an opportunity to start dividing the encirclement and crushing the rear army in one fell swoop. After that, he took advantage of the victory to pursue, and tried to take it before Jiangyang City found out, at least to catch him off guard. The foot soldiers set off in three groups, keeping a distance from the front and back. The other 20,000 men remained here for another three days, and then divided into two armies. The first army went forward to respond, and the first army retreated to ensure the retreat. If there is really an ambush in the Demon Cult, the foot soldiers will prepare fortifications on the spot and respond to the cavalry retreat. and put on a great array as if they were doing a long work, and deceive them with a false image. You must not venture into rescue or even siege the city, otherwise you will fall into a trap. If they did not lay an ambush, then they rushed to Jiangyang City, replaced the cavalry to watch the city, and the cavalry pursued the main force for 300 miles before turning back. In short, the purpose of this time is to contain and kill the enemy, not to seek total annihilation!"

The crowd agreed.

"It's no wonder that several commanders say that the general is the star of the future, just look at the level of strategizing, it is not comparable to us. ”

"Yes, if I were the leader, I'm afraid I would have been surrounded by the Demon Sect a long time ago. Or the general is powerful. ”

"Phew, you stinky shameless people, you don't stop patting your ass. Who's account doesn't have a few marching staff officers and strategists, and these plans haven't come up with them yet. Don't give me this set, and it's only right to give me some credit. ”

In the midst of laughter and scolding, the big tent military discussion ended, and the army immediately began to eat in turns, and then began to prepare for the march.

At this moment, the enemy camp did not have the usual sneak attack, and it could be seen that they were indeed brewing some bad ideas.
