Chapter 986: The Demon Army Retreats to Yong'an City

A great battle, fought from night to dawn.

After a night of fighting, the casualties were extremely heavy, the army of the Demon Realm suffered nearly three million casualties, and the army of the Western Rain Kingdom also suffered more than 1.2 million casualties.

The three route armies fought at the same time, and the most tragic was the right route army led by the tiger king, who killed 1.2 million enemies at the cost of more than 300,000 casualties, and the results were the most brilliant.

The Left Route Army and the Central Army suffered more than 400,000 casualties each, and a total of 1.8 million enemies were annihilated.

As soon as the day dawned, the sound of a large army marching came from the Xue'an Forest in the distance, and Tang Yuansi knew that it was the army of the Northern Moon Kingdom that was coming.

The people he sent did not return overnight, so they knew that the situation was not good, and then looked at the battle on the scene, there were heavy casualties and low morale, and if they continued to fight, they would also return with a crushing defeat.

What's more, as soon as the army of the Northern Moon Kingdom arrives now, it will definitely support the Xiyu Kingdom, and if his army does not retreat, it may wait a little longer, and there will be no chance to retreat.

Without any hesitation, Tang Yuansi immediately ordered a retreat, led the remaining three million troops, fought and retreated, and then turned around and fled quickly in the direction of Ziyun City.

Wei Wuji ordered a pursuit for ten miles, and then collected his troops and came back, joining the army of the Beiyue Kingdom.

The one who came with the army led by the northern moon country was the young general Mei Zizhen.

After experiencing a series of changes, the current Mei Zizhen, the natural charm on his body has diluted a lot, but no matter how he looks at it, he still looks like a woman, born with a feminine beauty, although he is wearing armor, he still can't change his characteristics, if someone who doesn't know sees it, he will definitely can't help but praise it, a good female general who doesn't let her eyebrows go.

When Wei Wuji led his army back, Mei Zizhen had already ordered his army to help clean up the battlefield.

On the snow, there are corpses everywhere, and many mutilated limbs are everywhere, and you can imagine the tragedy of this battle at a glance.

This snowfield, which has been completely stained red with blood, is in stark contrast to the snow in the distance.

When Wei Wuji saw Mei Zizhen standing alone on a high place, he quietly watched his army clean up the battlefield, and seemed to be in deep thought.

The Tiger King returned here, still immersed in the battle just now, and he said excitedly:

"This battle, it's really a pleasure to kill, if it weren't for the general's order to retreat, we would have killed it directly to Ziyun City, and even that Qu Yunyang would have been killed!"

Wu Changkong said calmly:

"After a night of fierce fighting, the soldiers are also very tired, and then chase over, when they enter the city, it is not so easy for us to attack the city, we have to eat one bite at a time, this war can only be fought one by one, people always have to eat and rest."

Wei Wuji casually commanded:

"You two should also clean up the battlefield with our people!"

After saying that, he walked towards Mei Zizhen, who was standing in the distance.

Mei Zizhen saw Wei Wuji coming, and he immediately saluted:

"Zizhen has seen General Wei!"

Wei Wuji hugged his fists:

"Thank you General Mei for helping to clean up the battlefield, hard work!"

Mei Zizhen replied with a ashamed face:

"We didn't arrive in time, and we have caused you heavy losses, and I am deeply sorry, seeing that they have fled, it is not meaningful to rush into pursuit, so we have to help clean up the battlefield here."

Wei Wuji immediately shook his head and said:

"This is also an accident, and it has nothing to do with you, so it's good to fight me here

We were the victors, and we killed nearly three million enemies at the cost of more than a million casualties, which was a great victory. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Wuji glanced at the army led by Mei Zizhen, in addition to the one million people cleaning the battlefield, there were nine million people waiting for the battle behind him, the scene was very spectacular, he couldn't help but admire:

"What an army of tens of millions, with you joining, it is only a matter of time before we win!"

Mei Zizhen smiled bitterly:

"There are a lot of people, but we don't have any food and grass, everything depends on you to provide, do you have so much food and grass?"

Wei Wuji replied briskly:

"You can rest assured about this, even if the West Rain Country is not short of food now, we have opened a channel, and there is no problem with the supply in the rear."

"Let's go back to the camp and plan the next step together."

After speaking, he walked to the camp with Mei Zizhen.

This big battle was fought far from the camp, so it did not affect the camp side, everything was well preserved, but now the camp is full of wounded, and the accompanying logistics personnel are carrying out emergency treatment, and it seems that there are busy scenes everywhere, and from time to time there are painful moans and screams.

The camp also smelled of blood and, of course, the smell of food.

After a night of fighting, in addition to exhaustion, that is, hunger, so I started cooking early in the morning, and when I settled down a little, I was able to eat.

Walking into the main tent, Wei Wuji beckoned Mei Zizhen to sit down, casually ordered the guards to serve tea, and then said:

"General Mei is familiar with this area, in your opinion, how should we fight next?"

Mei Zizhen shook her head and replied:

"This is our former homeland, and we are naturally very familiar with the terrain, but as for how to fight, in front of General Wei, I don't have to express my opinions at will, everything can be arranged by General Wei, you are the general who has experienced a hundred battles!"

Wei Wuji pondered for a long time and then said:

"The reason why we rushed here is just to join your army, and now that we have gathered together, I don't think there is any need to set up camp here, after all, it is a wilderness, and it is really inconvenient."

Mei Zizhen immediately replied:

"It's really inconvenient to be stationed here, in my opinion, it's better to march in the direction of Ziyun City, lay down a larger city, and then we can garrison troops in the city."

After finishing speaking, he found Wei Wuji looking at the map on the wall, so he went on to suggest:

"This place is very close to Ziyun City, and there is a relatively large city in the middle, called Meng City, with our current strength, it should be very easy to take Meng City."

Wei Wuji looked at the map and said:

"Will Tang Yuansi retreat to Mengcheng?"

Meizi really thought about it before replying:

"Probably not, now he has that little army, and he can't hold it if he wants to, not to mention that Ziyun City is empty now, and Qu Yunyang won't let him station that little force in Mengcheng."

"Now, Qu Yunyang knows that our army has arrived, maybe he will even give up on Purple Cloud City and retreat to Yong'an City!"

Wei Wuji groaned for a moment, then nodded:

"With your army joining, he doesn't want to give up and can't hold it, but I'm afraid that they won't be able to wait for us to attack the city, and they will choose to retreat."

On the same day, after lunch, Wei Wuji led the army in the direction of Mengcheng and arrived at Mengcheng two days later.

Sure enough, as Mei Zizhen said, Tang Yuansi did not garrison here, and the army easily attacked Mengcheng.

After marching for days, the soldiers were tired, so they were temporarily stationed in Mengcheng, and Wei Wuji sent scouts to Ziyun City to investigate, and learned that Qu Yunyang had really led the army to leave.

After resting for three days, Wei Wuji put Meng Cheng and the surrounding cities in order a little, and after making arrangements, he rushed to Ziyun City.

Five days later, Liu Tingfeng and Xiao Bailong led a large army to join Wei Wuji in Ziyun City.

At this point, almost the entire Beiyue Kingdom has been included in the territory of the West Rain Country, and the remaining small part of the city, that is, there is no effort to recover it for the time being, in fact, the army of the Demon Realm has lost the ability to control it.

In the palace of Purple Cloud City, Liu Tingfeng convened the core generals to discuss the action plan, and there were only five people, namely Xiao Bailong, Wei Wuji, Wu Changkong, Tiger King and Mei Zizhen.

Liu Tingfeng sat on the main seat, and he said with a relaxed expression:

"The situation has developed to the current situation, which is very beneficial for us."

He then looked at Mei Zizhen and said:

"Welcome General Mei to join, let our team be like a tiger with wings, counting, Lingyun List is a big difference, I haven't seen it for three years, General Mei's demeanor is still the same!"

Mei Zizhen immediately replied respectfully:

"It's an honor to join the West Rain Country, and I hope General Liu and you will take care of it!"

Liu Tingfeng smiled and said:

"In the future, we will be a family, so naturally we have to help each other!"

After saying hello, Liu Tingfeng then said with a serious expression:

"In the recent battle, General Wei suffered more than 1 million casualties on his side, and we also suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties, but fortunately, there are 10 million led by General Mei, and now, we have a total of more than 17 million people here, and in a few days, Yuejun will guard it, and it will increase by 10 million, and we will be equal to an army of 27 million people."

"And Qu Yunyang returns to Yong'an City, even if he gathers his troops distributed in the surrounding cities, it will be 10 million at most, and they are not all recruits, and we are much stronger in terms of strength."

"Of course, when the two armies are fighting, there are many factors to win, although the number and strength are important, but they are not absolutely able to win, strategy and tactics are also very important, how to arrange troops still needs to be treated with caution, after all, we are also from the weak side."

"If we can make such a turnaround, it means that they also have professional opportunities, so we can't afford to underestimate them at any time."

Speaking of this, Liu Tingfeng paused for a moment before continuing:

"We have just occupied such a large piece of land, and we also need time to digest and rectify, we will not send troops for the time being this month, and after all the preparations are sufficient, we will consider the attack on Yong'an City, can you have any different suggestions for this?"

After the five of them looked at each other, they replied in unison:

"Obey the orders of the great general!"

Seeing that everyone had no different opinions, Liu Tingfeng thought for a long time and said slowly:

"For the army I have now, I plan to wait for the 10 million from the Yuejun Commander to bring in, and then mix all the teams and reorganize them, what does General Mei think?"

Mei Zizhen immediately replied:

"Everything is up to General Liu, Zizhen doesn't have any opinions."
