To tell the truth, holding the military newspaper in his hand, Zhou Yi's head at this time was two big.

Isn't it that I've been smooth sailing lately, so I'm a little carried away!

Pingban City, fall!

This news directly stunned Zhou Yi!

"Where is Wang Baobao now, and how is the loss of troops?" Looking at the messenger in front of him, he must not show a panicked look in front of the soldiers.

"Back to the prince, the general has led two major armies to retreat to Nightingale City, and has also built fortifications at the pass of the Lianyun Mountain Range, and sent heavy troops to guard it! In the battle of Pingban City, the army lost less than 10,000 people!" The messenger lay on the ground, trembling, he was really unlucky, and he was sent to deliver such bad news!

Whew! Fortunately, at least the army losses are acceptable! From this point of view, Wang Baobao deliberately abandoned Pingman City, not that the army was forced to evacuate due to too much attrition.

"Do you know what's going on with the elven army?"

"When General Wang evacuated, he arranged a large number of fire oil and fire-burning materials in the entire Pingman City, and burned the city! Right now, the elven army is still camping outside the city. ”

Well, this Wang Baobao really has a set, and he can arrange it like this, pit the elves, but it offsets the guilt of abandoning Pingman City.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi's mood suddenly relaxed a lot.

With a wave of his hand, let the messenger go down and rest. Then he ordered the commanders of the legions to come to the Great Tent to discuss the matter, and he went straight to the chair and sat down, and then thought about what to do with the present situation.

I was indeed a little carried away during this time, and I only cared about teaching "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong" to the guards and women, and deliberately slowed down the speed of the march. Unexpectedly, the situation in the south changed so much.

Pingman City has fallen, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands have lost their foothold when they go south, and the battle situation is getting worse and worse!

Go straight south to face off head-on!

As soon as I thought of this, I was directly vetoed. After a long journey to Pingban City, the army led by himself has already become a tired soldier, so let the elves wait for work!

"Lord Wang!"

Marshal Xu Jia of the Second Army Corps, Marshal Cheng Peng of the Fifth Army Corps, Marshal Xu Wei of the Eighth Army Corps, and Marshal Zheng Qi of the Tenth Army Corps, plus several division commanders of the Guards Corps, rushed in.

"This king doesn't talk much nonsense, the front Pingman City sent a military report, Pingman City fell, Wang Baobao led the seventh and ninth armies to retreat to Nightingale City. At present, our army has lost its foothold, how to deal with it, everyone can talk about it!" Zhou Yi did not let them sit down, and after a few people came in to salute, he directly explained the situation.

Cheng Peng, Xu Wei and Zheng Qi all looked at Xu Jia, these major legions, the second legion was the strongest. Of course, the strength of the Guards Corps is not weak, but the commanders of those divisions are all the only ones who look forward to it, not to mention it.

"Lord Wang, is the elven army stationed on the front line of Pingman City now?" Xu Jia was numb by a few people, these guys, this is a plan to make himself a bird! However, Zhou Yi is staring at it, and the colleagues below are looking at it like this, and they can't talk about it. So, he turned his mind and asked about the situation of the elves, as for Wang Baobao, hehe, that is the eldest brother of King Wucheng, and it is better to say less about it.

"Well, when Wang Baobao withdrew from Pingman City, a fire burned it to the ground, and the elves suffered heavy losses as a result. Right now, the elven army is still south of Pingman City, and it will be difficult to go north for a while!"

This Xu Jia is quite knowledgeable, and he did not ask Wang Baobao about the crime of losing his land. However, even if they asked, what could they do!? Zhou Yi played with the tiger talisman in his hand and told Wang Baobao's achievements.

Sure enough, fortunately, he didn't ask Wang Baobao, King Wucheng was digging a pit and waiting for a few of his people to jump! However, this Wang Baobao was really ruthless! He actually burned down Pingman City with a fire, and also killed tens of thousands of elves, he was really a decisive person! It is worthy of King Wucheng's family, they are all ruthless!

Not to mention the slander against Zhou Yi in his heart, although the elves have also suffered heavy losses, the most important thing is that after the hundreds of thousands of southern aid troops here lose Pingman City, how to do it!?

Xu Jia and the other four marshals all fell into deep thought.

King Wucheng summoned them over to listen to their opinions, which everyone knew well. Everyone has just joined the command of King Wucheng, and has not yet proved their loyalty and role to King Wucheng, but this time they have to show their loyalty.

The four of them have been in the army all year round, and they have seen a lot of various big battles, but they are not idle and vegetarian!

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Yi came to them to discuss.

"Now that our army is not far from Pingman City, why don't we continue to accelerate southward, enter the Lianyun Mountain Range, and join the Seventh and Ninth Army Corps!?" Cheng Peng suddenly raised his head, and then after converging all his military strength, he was looking for an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the elves.

"No! How big the territory of the Eight Half-Elves of Nightingale City is, everyone knows in their hearts! We have nearly 600,000 troops stationed here, not to mention whether the Nightingale City side can accommodate it. Even if all the hedgehogs are gathered there, if the elves send heavy troops to block the mountain pass, then we will be caught in the urn!" Xu Wei immediately objected when he heard this.

"Yes, if I were the elven commander, I would definitely act as Marshal Xu Wei said! Our army of nearly 600,000 people will never be able to sneak into Nightingale City by disappearing. The elves know our whereabouts and will inevitably block the mountain pass. At that time, there will be no way to stop the elven army in the south of the empire!" Xu Jia also disagreed, Cheng Peng's statement was simply self-defeating.

"Is it difficult to achieve such a straight and upright battle with the elves in Pingman City!" was unceremoniously vetoed by the two marshals, Cheng Peng did not have a different color on his face, but just spread his hands and asked helplessly.

"Yes! Just go south! It's just that instead of speeding up the southward movement, we march south step by step, in a strict formation! Forty miles a day, and then set up camp. In this way, in five days at most, we can reach the outside of Pingman City!" Zheng Zha suddenly raised his head and said with his eyes shining.

At first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual about his words. However, none of the people present were stupid people, and they were all battlefield veterans. Even Zhou Yi has been on the battlefield for a long time in Baiyue County.

After tasting it slowly, everyone couldn't help nodding. What Marshal Zheng Qi said is absolutely reasonable, and it seems that this can only be done at the moment.

"Marshal Zheng, tell me more carefully!" Zhou Yi nodded with satisfaction, signaling Zheng Zha to express the thoughts in his heart.

"Yes, Lord Wang!" his opinion was approved by King Wucheng, Zheng Zhe was in a good mood at this time, and it seemed that he no longer had to worry about being liquidated, and his future was bright. "Our army is actually no less than the elves, and the only thing to worry about is to deal with the elven army with tired soldiers after a long journey. In this case, let's march slowly, on the one hand, to maintain combat strength, and on the other hand, to prevent elves from sneaking attacks.

The army slowly moved south, and the elves could also be forced to attack Nightingale City in a big way, so that the two legions under General Wang's command could rest for a while. By the time our army arrives at Pingman City, General Wang must have already reorganized his men. At this time, the elves will confront our army head-on, and they will still be threatened by General Wang on the flank! In the face of such a situation, the elves will not dare to start a war without authorization.

In this way, the disadvantage faced by our army is no longer that of tired combat. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, what Marshal Zheng said is very true. Not only that, but our army went south, and we were originally going to use Pingman City as a base camp, so that it would be convenient to supply. But since the Pingman City is gone, the construction proposed by Marshal Zheng is just to alleviate the drawbacks of our army's supply line being too long. Let's march slowly, step by step, steadily, don't give the elves a chance to sneak attack, the rear grain road is safe, and second, the rear transportation supplies are less stressful. Xu Jia listened to what Zheng Qi said, and nodded secretly in praise. After Zheng Qi finished speaking, he couldn't wait to stand up and add.

"Haha! At that time, the elves will not only face two threats! They will have behind them the 300,000 cavalry of General Chahan. With General Chahan's ability, presumably the elves don't want to get supplies from the south again! This king wants to see how long these elves can last without eating or drinking!" Zhou Yi stood up suddenly, stepped forward with a smile and patted Zheng Zhe's shoulder, who hurriedly looked flattered.

Oh, where Chahan's army is, Xu Jia and the others really don't know. And they didn't expect that Chahan still had more than 300,000 cavalry troops in his hands, which was great news!

Thinking about it this way, the troops that can be mobilized by their own side in this battle are a full million troops, and their strength is far greater than that of the elves who have already divided their troops! At the beginning, Xu Jia and the others also planned to raise yì and transfer Wen Jia's army from Chuyang City to increase their strength. Now, not at all.

"However, this king thinks that we can't be too slow! Now we are still some distance away from Pingman City, we must speed up the march in the past two days, and wait until the distance from them is less than a hundred miles, and then form a formation and move forward slowly! We can't let the elves rest in peace, we must let them be like a man!" After laughing, Zhou Yi spoke again, further improving Zheng Zhe's plan.

If the pace is too slow, the elves will let their guard against the southern reinforcements, and they will inevitably fight against the cavalry of Chahan. Only by exerting pressure will the elves have no time to worry about anything else, and they will prepare for a decisive battle with themselves. And when the elves are ready for a decisive battle, if they slow down and look like they don't intend to attack with all their might, it will definitely make the elf boss angry.

Although it is not clear who the boss of the elves is, no matter who it is, it is the enemy!

"The prince is wise!" In this case, Xu Jia and the others naturally did not hesitate to praise and began to pat Zhou Yi's sycophants.

In addition, send a powerful man to pass on the king's military order, tell Sù Chahan and Wang Baobao, and nail me in their respective directions, and no one shall fight head-on with the elves without the king's order! This time, the king will let this elf army be destroyed in Pingman City!" The plan has been decided, Zhou Yi ordered in a deep voice, and his tone revealed the murderous intent!

"No! obey the prince's military orders!" everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then hurried out of the tent.

Zhou Yi held the hilt of his sword, paced to the tent door, looked south with his eyes, and said to himself: "Since you dare to go north, you must be prepared to be chopped off!"
