Chapter 804: Beiyue Tianleiqi withdraws his troops
The battle of immortals and demons suddenly fell into an eerie period of silence.
The Immortal Realm army did not continue to attack, and the Demon Realm army was also safely stationed at Tianmen Pass, without any action.
Three days later, Jun Moxiao convened a military meeting again, and the generals of the three countries were all present.
Everyone sat quietly in their respective positions, Jun Moxiao sat in the main seat, he didn't speak immediately, as if he was thinking about some important issue.
After a cup of tea, he said in a calm tone:
"Three days ago, the Northern Moon Kingdom and the Heavenly Thunder Kingdom said that they would ask their emperors for instructions on whether to withdraw from the five-nation alliance, and now, the three-day deadline has passed, I don't know what the final decision of the two countries is?"
After finishing speaking, he first looked at Yue Ruhai, the great general of the Northern Moon Kingdom, and wanted to hear his answer.
Yue Ruhai first looked at Mei Zizhen, the deputy general beside her, Mei Zizhen was still so charming, but there was an extra layer of frost on her face, and she probably hadn't come out of Lin Qiaoer's unfortunate death.
After glancing at Yue Ruhai, he nodded slightly, indicating that he also agreed with the decision of the emperor of his country, so Yue Ruhai said slowly:
"After careful consideration and the consent of the Emperor, I finally made a decision to withdraw from the Five Nations Alliance."
Jun Moxiao didn't seem surprised by his answer, and he didn't speak immediately, but turned his eyes to Han Qi, the general of the Heavenly Thunder Kingdom, and asked:
"What was the final decision of the Thunder Kingdom that day?"
Han Qi looked at Lei Zhenyu, who seemed to be still angry, and showed a helpless expression, they had a disagreement on whether to withdraw from the Five Nations Alliance, he wanted to withdraw, but Lei Zhenyu insisted on not withdrawing, saying that the West Rain Country, as an ally in the fairy world, could not abandon it.
In the end, the emperor in China sent a will, agreed to Han Qi's request, and chose to withdraw.
After getting the news, Lei Zhenyu has been sullen and sulking alone, but he also understands that he can't change anything. Therefore, when Han Qi looked at him, he even turned his eyes and looked somewhere else.
He subconsciously looked at two acquaintances, one was Mei Zizhen, a charming man from Beiyue Kingdom, and the other was Liu Tingfeng, the general of Xiyu Kingdom.
Mei Zizhen nodded to him with a faint smile on her face, which was regarded as a hello.
He immediately shivered, and felt a chill all over his body, so he quickly turned his gaze to look at Liu Tingfeng.
Liu Tingfeng also nodded to him with a smile and said hello silently, but he showed a ashamed expression, feeling very sorry for Liu Tingfeng.
Seeing Lei Zhenyu's guilty expression, Liu Tingfeng knew that his guess was not wrong, so he shook his head lightly, signaling that it didn't matter.
Although he didn't have much to do with Lei Zhenyu, Liu Tingfeng knew that with his character, he would definitely not be willing to abandon his allies and leave alone, but he was only a deputy general, and it was impossible to change the decision of Emperor Zun and the general.
Han Qi took in the silent greetings of Lei Zhenyu, Mei Zizhen and Liu Tingfeng, and also understood their silent communication, but it was impossible for him to change his mind because of this, so he said slowly:
"After careful consideration, my Heavenly Thunder Country has also decided to withdraw from the Five-Nation Alliance."
Although Jun Moxiao had been mentally prepared, when he heard the news with his own ears, he couldn't help but show a lonely expression.
As the commander of the Immortal Army, the Five Nations Alliance was disbanded in his hands, and it must be said that he was a very failure.
After he cleaned up his mood for a while, he said lightly:
"Since this is a decision made by you after careful consideration, and I also respect your choice, then, the current Five Nations Alliance, there are only two member countries left, one Xiyu Country and one South Star Country, since you have chosen to withdraw, Lingyun Pavilion will no longer provide any support to your country in the future."
"I wish you all safe and secure the invasion battle of the Demon Realm and achieve the final victory!"
Immediately, Yue Ruhai and Mei Zizhen of the Northern Moon Kingdom said goodbye to Jun Moxiao and left.
Immediately afterwards, Han Qi, the general of the Heavenly Thunder Kingdom, also took Lei Zhenyu, who was still angry, to say goodbye and leave.
There were only Jun Moxiao, Gongsun Yu and the five generals of Xiyu Kingdom left.
After a long while, Jun Mo smiled and said with a solemn expression:
"Now, it is the weakest time in the fairy world, the disintegration of the Five Nations Alliance provides the best opportunity for the demon world to invade, with our current strength, it is impossible to resist, but we have no choice, we must not retreat without a fight, and give this land to the demon world in vain."
"However, as General Liu said, we can't wipe out the whole army for this line of defense, therefore, we must be prepared with both hands, on the one hand, to strengthen the defense of the defense line, on the other hand, to be ready to retreat at any time, when the whole army of the Demon Realm comes to attack, we must take advantage of the terrain to make them pay a painful price, and when the city is breached, we will retreat immediately." 139
Liu Tingfeng looked at the map and said:
"We now have a total of 10 million troops, and it is completely impossible to attack on our own."
"However, defensively, we have a great advantage, Xiaoshui River is our natural line of defense, although we do not have a strong naval army, but Meiling is our other line of defense, as long as the demon army enters the Xiaoshui River, it is equivalent to entering our attack range, if they want to successfully land, they need to pay a price."
"If Meiling is breached, we don't need to go back to Yong'an City, we will withdraw directly from here, withdraw to Yulan City, and defend our base camp."
Baili Hefeng looked at the large area of land on the map, and said with a distressed look:
"In this way, such a large piece of land is equivalent to giving up to the Demon Realm army, and the entire Xiyu Country is equivalent to losing two-thirds of the land, is it too easy to give up so many cities so easily?"
Several other people looked at Liu Tingfeng with the same feeling, wanting to hear his explanation.
Liu Tingfeng looked at the large piece of land, and after a long silence, he continued:
"After withdrawing from Meiling, we have two choices, one option is to retreat step by step, step by step, every time we retreat to a city, we have to stop and garrison, wait for them to attack, and then retreat while fighting, so that we can slow down their pace of advancement, and at the same time consume their combat effectiveness."
"However, since the cities along the way are not easy to defend, our efforts will be great, and when we retreat to Magnolia City, our army will definitely be left."
"Now in Yulan City, there are not many defenders, if we go back and only have a remnant army left, then we will definitely not be able to defend even Yulan City, then the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Therefore, we cannot retreat according to this strategy, but just retreat directly to the base camp while we still have enough combat strength to defend the last piece of land that is easy for us to defend."
"In the process of retreating all the way, we can only stay for a short time, go all the way, recruit a lot of troops and horses along the way, gather all the defenders and supplies of the city, and retreat together, when we retreat to Magnolia City, our army is not only a lot, but will increase rapidly, and at that time, we will concentrate all our forces to defend our last territory."
Speaking of this, Liu Tingfeng pointed to a triangle surrounded by the three cities of Magnolia City, Gyeongju County and Yeonghae City on the map and said:
"This triangle is our last territory, we can't hold more places, so let's concentrate our forces to defend this land, and then slowly map it."
The others all had thoughtful expressions, Jun Moxiao nodded and said:
"This should be the best choice for us now, knowing that we can't hold it, we should give it up temporarily when it's time to give it up, wait for a better time, and then regain the lost land."
Bai Xiaolong, who had not spoken for a long time, also agreed:
"I agree with General Liu's strategy, instead of defending all the way and consuming all the way, it is better to gather all the defending troops all the way to the city, concentrate the troops and materials on the side of Yulan City, and we will concentrate on defending that place."
General Lu Jing looked at the map, and after a while, he also spoke:
"I'm not good at strategic things, but I also think General Liu's strategy is very good."
Wang Hu scratched his head and said:
"I'm more suitable for charging into battle, I don't know much about this kind of nerve-wracking problem, but I always firmly believe that General Liu's strategy is definitely okay, so I also agree."
Baili and the wind also said helplessly:
"Although I am reluctant, in order to survive, I can only choose to give up this time."
"However, I firmly believe that one day, we will regain all these lost lands with our own hands."
He guarded Yulan Town for a few months, and he also had feelings for this side, and he originally wanted to operate slowly, and one day he could personally welcome King Mu Tianwang over and re-set Yong'an City as the capital.
Now it seems that this plan can only be abandoned for the time being.
Early the next morning, the armies of the Northern Moon Kingdom and the Heavenly Thunder Kingdom left one after another.
The Meiling military camp suddenly became even more empty, and there were only 10 million troops left in the Xiyu Kingdom and 50,000 elites in the Lingyun Pavilion.
The army of the fairy world is one thousand and fifty thousand, and the army of the demon world is forty-three million, guarding, it must be impossible to hold it, Jun Moxiao and Liu Tingfeng are planning to take advantage of the terrain here to give the demon army a heavy blow again, that's all.
When the armies of the Beiyue Kingdom and the Tianlei Kingdom were missing in the barracks, and only the elite army of the Xiyu Kingdom and the elite army of the Lingyun Pavilion were left, the military heart was very stable, no one complained anymore, and no one complained anymore, especially the army of the Xiyu Kingdom, although most of them were recruits, but because this was their land, it was their bounden duty and obligation to guard the land of their own country.
The army of the West Rain Kingdom did not complain and be afraid, but was suddenly full of fighting spirit.
They are willing to defend the integrity of this territory to the death, because this land is inhabited by their relatives and friends.
