Chapter 920: The Demon Army Retreats Three Hundred Miles
After Qu Yunyang sighed again, he said in a somewhat indifferent tone:
"The surrender army of Longxiao Kingdom and our army cannot be harmoniously integrated after all, since infighting will break out sooner or later, it is better to have a long pain than a short pain, it is better to let them die on the battlefield."
"Now we can only successfully break through the encirclement of more than one million people, but after this battle, these remaining more than one million people are what we really need, and with this painful lesson, we will not make the same mistakes on the battlefield in the future."
"This war, whether it is a sneak attack or infighting, has the shadow of Mu Qianmei planning behind her, she is a person who is good at strategy."
Speaking of this, Qu Yunyang didn't seem to want to continue talking about this topic, he leaned back slightly, leaned on Zuo's back, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Fan Moyou listened to Qu Yunyang's words, and also fell into contemplation alone, and did not speak again for a long time.
About two quarters of an hour later, there was a commotion outside, and Qu Yunyang opened his eyes and asked:
"It should be the reinforcements of the Night Generalissimo and General Tang who have arrived!"
Fan Moyou also immediately came back to his senses from his contemplation, nodded and replied:
"Count the time, their army should also arrive, and the subordinates will go down to receive it!"
When the carriage stopped, he stepped out of the carriage alone to receive reinforcements.
Ye Wuyue and Tang Luo each sent five million reinforcements to support Qu Yunyang, and now that they are combined, Qu Yunyang has more than 10 million troops.
At this time, they had already retreated sixty miles, and twenty miles back there was a city called Xilin City, and Qu Yunyang immediately ordered it to be stationed there.
On the other side, outside Wuqu County, the army of the Xiyu Kingdom was still cleaning up the battlefield.
The day, which had been gloomy for a long time, suddenly cleared up in the afternoon, and the sun clouds showed its red face.
At this moment, it is almost dusk, and the remnant sun is shining at night, which adds a bit of desolation to the battlefield full of corpses.
The thick smell of blood in the air is probably impossible to dissipate in the short term, and only soldiers who are accustomed to the battlefield can withstand it.
The countless corpses, the soldiers of the Xiyu Kingdom could only deal with them simply, first continued to dig down the low-lying places on the battlefield, dug out one big soil pit after another, and then separated the corpses from friends and enemies, buried them separately, and covered them with a thick layer of soil, which was hastily buried.
Fortunately, it's late autumn and the weather is starting to get cold, so give them plenty of time to deal with it, and if it's summer, it's even more troublesome.
Liu Tingfeng, Xiao Bailong, Wu Changkong, Baili Hefeng and the Tiger King walked into the county guard mansion of Wuqu County together, Baili Hefeng, as the master here, immediately warmly greeted a few people to sit down, and ordered the soldiers to serve tea, and then said with a smile:
"This battle, but a real victory, General Liu is a great contribution, you can successfully go around behind the enemy, it's really not easy, a few people have worked hard, come and drink tea!"
Liu Tingfeng picked up the teacup, held it in his hand, and then replied politely:
"The victory of the war is the result of everyone's cooperation, if it weren't for the fact that General Baili was pinning down the enemy in front, it would be difficult for us to successfully go around behind enemy lines."
"Even if the sneak attack is successful, if it weren't for the Baili General who led the army out of the city in time to form a siege, the effect of our sneak attack would not be great."
"Therefore, this battle is not the credit of any one person, but the credit of everyone."
After speaking, he took a casual sip of tea, and then put the teacup on the table in front of him.
After a moment of silence for a hundred miles and wind, he couldn't help but sigh:
"It's a pity that there are fewer of our masters and elites after all, otherwise we should have left Qu Yunyang here."
Liu Tingfeng replied disagreeably:
"It's not the best time to leave Qu Yunyang at this time."
"Although the army of the Demon Realm has fought a big battle, however, their army has not really hurt the root, the army of Ye Wuyue and Tang Luo combined is more than 40 million, if the defenders of other cities are gathered, the number of the army of the Demon Realm is not less than ours."
"If Qu Yunyang really dies here, not only will we pay a heavy price, but their follow-up counterattack will also be more intense."
"So, it's wiser to let him go!"
The Tiger King said suspiciously:
"Didn't you say that the thief captures the king first? If Qu Yunyang is killed, even if the price paid is greater, but the demon realm is equal to the dragons without a leader, wouldn't that situation be better for us? ”
This time, the little white dragon opened his mouth and explained:
"Before Qu Yunyang woke up, they were indeed scattered, if Qu Yunyang had been in a coma or had fallen, then the Demon Realm army would not be worth mentioning."
"However, at this moment and then, after Qu Yunyang woke up, he had already planned a strategic policy for the Demon Realm army, and even if he fell, his subordinates would continue to carry out the line he had formulated, and because of his fall, their counterattack would become more violent, and our situation would become more critical as a result."
"If we want to win more calmly, we must first destroy his army and generals little by little, and when he is unable to fight back, we will win, and it will not matter whether he is dead or alive at that time."
"What we need is a win like this."
Baili and Feng understood at once, he nodded slightly, and did not speak again.
The Tiger King replied as if he didn't understand:
"It's better for you to think about these complicated issues, I just have to follow the orders and charge into battle!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Wu Changkong and praised:
"The lieutenant general Wu really has a hand in commanding battles, and he is also very strong in charging into battle, and it is really a pleasure to cooperate with you to kill the enemy on the battlefield!"
Wu Changkong immediately replied:
"General Wang is also very powerful! All told, I've killed as many enemies as you! ”
The Tiger King smiled and said:
"Haha...... Charging into battle this kind of thing, I often do, fighting is a kind of momentum, the king used to tell me, the battle is often compared to a kind of momentum, as long as there is that kind of indomitable determination, many evenly matched opponents will can't help but weaken by three points, I have a deep understanding of this! ”
"Vice Admiral Wu is different from me, your focus is on commanding the battle, I don't know any other tactics, my soldiers are the same as me, no need to adjust and think, just kill the enemy on a rampage!"
Wu Changkong also replied with a smile:
"In fact, this is also a tactic, when you rush to kill, others can't use any tactics, you can only passively fight against you, the key is to lose in momentum, it will be difficult for them to defeat your team, worthy of being the hall master of the God of War Hall, your soldiers are as brave as you!"
Baili Hefeng was slightly embarrassed when facing Wu Changkong, after all, he used to be Wu Changhao's minister and the county guard of Gyeongju County, Wu Changhao was successfully assassinated by Wu Changkong, it should be the opposite, but he was the former second prince, and his status was much higher than Baili Hefeng.
At the moment, he was
Liu Tingfeng's deputy general, the level is much lower than himself, he didn't know what to call for a while, it is definitely not right to call the second prince, and it is not easy to say it when he is called the deputy general of Wu.
At this time, the Tiger King spoke out first, and it was natural to see Wu Changkong's response, and Baili and Feng followed the interface:
"Vice Admiral Wu is the material of a general, and the experience of leading troops in combat is also very rich, with the addition of Vice General Wu, our army is like a tiger with wings!"
Wu Changkong replied naturally:
"The general of Baili praised it falsely, in front of several generals, the ability of the last general to lead the troops is not worth mentioning."
"Not to mention anything else, this battle is facing the attack of the Demon Realm army, if I deal with it, I can't imagine that I will go around behind the enemy to sneak attack."
Baili Kazufeng also nodded slightly and said:
"When we fight, we are accustomed to fighting according to convention, and it is difficult to break through such conventions to think about problems."
"Under normal circumstances, our city is under attack, so it is natural to gather all our forces and hold the city."
"If you have a chance to take advantage, then open the city gates and rush out of the city to fight, and the victory or defeat depends on the strength."
"Only the Heavenly King will break this habitual thinking and achieve a surprising winning effect."
At this time, the little white dragon said:
"The Demon Realm army has withdrawn for sixty miles, and Ye Wuyue and Tang Luo have already divided their troops to support Qu Yunyang, do we want Chen Sheng to continue the pursuit, or do we stop and recuperate for a while?"
After Xiao Bailong asked, several people subconsciously looked at Liu Tingfeng, although he was only a general, but everyone couldn't help but treat him as the backbone.
First, he is Mu Qianmei's junior brother, and he understands the mind of having no money to buy, and secondly, he does have a better strategic vision.
After Liu Tingfeng pondered for a moment, he replied:
"Take a short rest, reorganize the army, inform General Wei Wuji and General Han Qi, and let them take advantage of the low morale of the enemy army and the lack of troops, so they will rush out of the city to fight, and we will continue to pursue Qu Yunyang's army, and drive them again!"
As a result, several people began to discuss a specific plan of action.
The next day, battle reports came from Nanxing County and Tianlei County, and both sides successfully repelled the Demon Realm army for thirty miles.
On the third day, the army of Wuqu County was reorganized, and it went out again, going to Xilin City to pursue Qu Yunyang's more than 10 million troops.
The demoralized Demon Realm army retreated one hundred and twenty miles on its own without resistance.
On the fourth day, the army of the Xiyu Kingdom continued to pursue, and Qu Yunyang retreated again one hundred and twenty miles.
On the other side, Ye Wuyue and Tang Luo's army both retreated almost synchronously, staying on the same front as Qu Yunyang.
At this point, the army of the Demon Realm retreated for a full three hundred miles.
At this time, Qu Yunyang's army had retreated to Hongchang City, and Liu Tingfeng's army came to Lingzhou City, and there was a big river between the two cities, which was the Xiaoshui River that flowed through here from Tianmen Pass.
Baizhang River is a moat, and Liu Tingfeng also ordered to stop the pursuit, but began to take over the large and small cities that he had occupied along the way.
In this way, the West Rain Country and the Demon Realm have formed two major forces across the river, the West Rain Country accounts for about one-third of the territory, and the Demon Realm also occupies two-thirds of the land outside the sky.
However, compared to before, the land of the West Rain Country has been tripled, which can be regarded as a great expansion.
In late autumn, winter is about to begin, and both sides do not want to continue to carry out it for the time being, and the outer sky has entered a short period of peace.
