The Northern Expedition Alliance thought that if it was launched in advance, it would be able to burn all the food smoothly, leaving an untidy mess for the Condor Army.

However, they never expected that the spies sent by the Condor Army had already infiltrated some cities.

Under the "goodwill" reminder of those spies, the aboriginal defenders in the city watched their every move at every moment.

When they tried to burn down the granaries in the city, they immediately ignited the anger in the hearts of the city's aboriginal soldiers, and eventually triggered a large-scale mutiny.

When the victorious aborigines took control of the city, the spies sent by the Condor stepped forward once again.

They are constantly instilling in everyone the advantages of joining the Condor Empire and the disadvantages of being an enemy of the Condor Empire.

When the cavalry of the Condor Army that was raging outside the city appeared at the right time to cooperate, they finally completely dispelled the illusions of some careerists who originally wanted to support the army and stand on their own feet and wait for the price to sell.

When the cities that successfully kept the grain storage in the city took the initiative to open the city gates to welcome the members of the Condor Army cavalry regiment outside into the city, the Battle of the Loess Plateau, which had been maintained for several months, was officially over.

At this point, the Qingshui River and the Loess Plateau area east of Liupan Mountain all fell into the hands of the Condor Army.

After reorganizing the surrendered troops on the Loess Plateau and collecting all the grain reserves, the cavalry regiment of the Condor Army began to move southward and began to assemble at the southernmost tip of the Loess Plateau, ready to invade the Guanzhong Basin at any time.

......

"Bastard, what the hell are those guys for? How is it that in just over two months, all the cities have been lost? ”

When he learned that the cavalry regiment of the Condor Army had begun to assemble on a large scale at the junction of the Guanzhong Basin and the Loess Plateau, Daniels, who was sitting in Heyang, immediately burst into flames.

In Daniels' opinion, even if the Condor Army attacked the city quickly and could capture a fortified city in a few days, the huge Loess Plateau was enough for them to walk for a long time.

If the alien defenders in the city can give a little strength, then if the Condor Army wants to completely capture the Loess Plateau, it may not be possible to achieve it in less than a year and a half, because just rushing is enough for the Condor Army to drink a pot.

As long as it can drag on forever, then the situation will become more and more favorable to their demon clan, because what their demon clan lacks most now is time.

When dragged into the summer of China, the hot and rainy weather will make the entire battlefield the home of demon warriors.

For the demon clan, who live in the tropics all year round, there is no army better suited to fighting in the hot summer months than them.

As long as it drags on until July and August, the combat power of the demon warriors will rise in a straight line.

Moreover, with the Guanzhong Basin, Hanzhong Basin and Sichuan Basin at their back, their logistical supply is also easier than that of the Condor Army.

The Condor Army's logistics are already in trouble, and when summer comes, the rivers will rise sharply and the roads will be muddy, and the logistics and transportation of the Condor Army will become more difficult.

Under this trade-off, the further back it is, the better it is for them.

In addition to these climatic and logistical factors, the Demon Clan will need time for their reserve legion to grow.

Now Daniels has recruited all the demon boys of the right age into the reserve legion, and those demon boys are receiving various trainings in the rear, and when they grow up, the strength of the demon army will be further improved.

In addition to their own army, the Demon Clan has also obtained a lot of giant panda babies from the secret realm they occupied, and now those giant panda babies are still in the growth stage, and it will take another year or two to fully mature.

The Giant Panda War Beast Legion is specially used by the Demon Clan to deal with the Druid War Beast Legion and the powerful Orc Legion of the Condor Empire.

As long as the Demon Clan can cultivate a sufficient number of giant pandas with super self-healing abilities, it is not a luxury to destroy the Condor Empire and retake the Lost Continent.

Now Daniels has some of the necessary conditions to recover the demon clan, the only thing he lacks is time.

However, the Condor Army just didn't give them this time, which is why Daniels was so annoyed.

"Your Majesty, those alien people are still unreliable after all, and we can't pin our hopes on them.

Now that the Condor Cavalry Corps is assembling on the edge of the Loess Plateau, it seems that those alien armies on the Loess Plateau should be finished, so we must make a decision immediately. ”

Seeing that Daniels was so angry that he was angry, Diop, as an old subordinate, immediately persuaded him.

"So what do you say? Do we really want to take the initiative to withdraw to the south of the Wei River? Glancing at his old subordinates, Daniels said angrily.

"Your Majesty, now we lack a mobile corps that can compete with the enemy's cavalry, and the Guanzhong Basin is a flat terrain, which is very suitable for cavalry roundabouts.

If we are still in a stalemate with the enemy here, then our rear road will most likely be cut off by the enemy's cavalry.

Once the logistical supply line is cut off by the enemy cavalry, then the millions of troops on the front line will be directly in a desperate situation.

Your Majesty, as long as our people are still there, sooner or later we will be able to regain what we have lost. ”

Seeing that Daniels was unwilling to withdraw his troops, Cardin joined the ranks of persuasion.

Seeing that his old subordinates had all proposed to withdraw immediately, Daniels' face became more and more gloomy.

The thought of the million-strong army retreating without a fight immediately turned red in his eyes.

"No, we still have a chance, as long as we defeat Han Cheng's Condor Army, we will be able to regain the strategic initiative.

We still have millions of troops on the front line, and if we show the courage to break through the cauldron and destroy the boat, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy.

Our demon warriors are invincible. ”

Unwilling to withdraw his troops in humiliation, Daniels immediately roared.

"General, please sober up, Daniels, who was one of the three demons before, is not like this."

Seeing that Daniels seemed to be caught in a demonic obstacle, Diop immediately yelled at Daniels.

Hearing Diop call himself a general, Daniels's forehead immediately burst into bruises, and just as he was about to get angry, he suddenly saw tears in Diop's eyes.

Looking at Diop with tears in his eyes, Daniels suddenly recalled the bits and pieces of the year, and thinking about it, a touch of crystal appeared in his eyes.

Seeing that Daniels had regained his clarity, Diop hit the railroad while it was hot: "Your Majesty, I know that you are now shouldering the task of reviving the demon clan, and there is a lot of pressure on your shoulders.

But the more this happens, the more you need to keep your head level.

We demons have been forced to leave our homeland by the enemy, and we can all bear such a great humiliation, what else can we not bear?

Your Majesty, the ministers have followed your account since they joined the army, from an ordinary soldier, to your personal guard, and then from your personal guard, to a general under you.

The minister followed His Majesty to fight countless battles large and small, and was born and died with His Majesty, we were victorious, and we were also defeated, and we almost died in Huangquan several times.

But no matter what kind of desperate situation you faced, Your Majesty, you never gave up, you can calmly analyze the situation at that time every time, and then make the most correct choice, leading us to escape death again and again.

Your Majesty, we now need Daniels, the head of the Demon Triumvirate who used to be calm and never cared about any outside discussions.

For the revival of the demon clan, please let go of all your burdens and be yourself again.

As long as you can be yourself again, no matter what kind of order you give, we will choose to carry it out meticulously, even if you send us to death, we have no complaints. ”

By the time Diop said the end, he was already in tears.

Ever since Daniels ascended to the throne of the Demon Emperor, his whole person has changed.

He lost his former agility and began to become indecisive.

In the past, Daniels could do whatever it took to win, and never counted the gains and losses of one city or one place.

In order to win, he can even sacrifice his army and use demonic warriors as bait.

For this reason, he was impeached by the elders of the Demon Clan, and even received the whipping of the former Demon Emperor Herrera.

But even so, he was still him, he didn't have any intention of changing, and no one could ever change him.

But since he ascended to the throne of the Demon Emperor, the advantages he once had can no longer be seen.

The heavy pressure of reviving the demon clan overwhelmed him, and his thinking had begun to solidify.

The reason why Diop said this at the risk of being beheaded was to wake up Daniels.

Because the current Daniels cannot be the enemy's opponent, only when the previous Daniels returns, can the demon clan have hope of revival.

Looking at Diop with tears streaming down his face, Daniels looked up to the sky and sighed, then slowly stepped forward and hugged Diop tightly.

After patting the other man on the back, Daniels said in a deep voice, "Thank you, old man.

You're right, now I'm too concerned about temporary gains and losses, so I can only lead the Demon Clan to extinction, and it is impossible to lead the Demon Clan to regain its glory.

Thank you for waking me up in time, and I will definitely try to be the same Daniels as before, and do whatever it takes to revive the Demon Clan. ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on finding yourself!"

After seeing Daniels regain his composure, the demon generals in the tent congratulated in unison.

After stretching out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, Daniels returned to his seat, and after a moment of contemplation, he said slowly: "Everyone is right, now our army does not have a mobile regiment that can stop the enemy's cavalry from invading.

If we insist on a frontal resistance, our rear will be plunged into endless distractions.

The daily consumption of millions of troops on the front line is an astronomical amount, and once the logistics and transportation supply is not available, this million-strong army will be in danger.

We don't care if those alien armies live or die, but every demon warrior is a very valuable asset to us now, and we can't let them die innocently, so we must withdraw them all intact.

At present, our troops are mainly concentrated in the three areas of Heyang, Chengcheng and Dali.

If we want to retreat to the south of the Wei River, Huayin is the closest to Dali, so we should withdraw to Huayin first, and then transfer our forces to other areas on the south bank of the Wei River.

If you want to rely on the Wei River to block the attack of the enemy cavalry, the Baoji area is a very critical position.

Once the enemy is unable to cross the Wei River, then it is likely that they will cross the Thousand Rivers from Longxian and then advance along the Longshan Mountains to the southeast, finally passing through Baoji and entering the area south of the Wei River.

Therefore, the Baoji area is the most important thing for us to rely on the Weihe defense line to resist the enemy's attack, and we must not afford to lose. ”

"Diop."

At the end of his speech, Daniels suddenly called Diop's name.

"The minister is here." Hearing Daniels call to himself, Diop immediately stepped forward.

"I'll give you 200,000 horses, and your task is to defend Baoji to the death, and you can't let a single soldier of the enemy come in.

If the enemy's cavalry breaks through you, you don't have to come back to me. Looking at Diop, Daniels gave the order in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if you can't keep Baoji, then you can only see the dead Diop." Diop knelt down on one knee and made the military order.

"It is not so easy for a million army to retreat safely, the enemy will not watch us retreat, so there must be an army to take charge of the rear of the palace."

After arranging the task for Diop, Daniels was talking to himself while scanning the generals in the tent with his spare eyes.

When his gaze moved to Karting's body, he suddenly stopped.

"Karting."

"The minister is here." Hearing Daniels point to himself, Karting immediately stepped forward to listen to the order.

"I have someone prepare 50,000 horses for you, and you lead 50,000 demon armies to act as overseers and monitor the alien armies behind those palaces.

When the army is safely evacuated south of the Wei River, you immediately retreat south with your men. ”

Looking at Karting, Daniels gave the order with a calm face.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Karting replied instinctively.

After answering, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and after reacting, Karding immediately asked Daniels for instructions: "Your Majesty, what about the alien armies in charge of the rear of the palace?" ”

"Those alien armies are extremely unreliable, we still have to fight a protracted war with the enemy south of the Wei River, food is very important, there is no surplus for them to eat, let them fend for themselves!"

Hearing Karting's inquiry, a subtle coldness flashed in Daniels' eyes.

Daniels was now very disappointed with the alien armies that had taken refuge in him.

In the case that the enemy does not carry siege equipment, a group of waste that cannot even defend the Loess Plateau, what can they do but waste their precious food?

Sometimes fighting a war does not necessarily mean that there is an advantage in numbers, so after seeing the nature of those alien armies, Daniels has decided to abandon them.

In the following time, Daniels and his generals carefully studied the retreat route.

Once everything was settled, the demon army on the front line immediately moved into action and prepared to retreat south.
