Chapter 1009 The Fourth Level of Yuanlong Jue
At that moment, everyone began to fly towards Beiling City. Along the way, they saw countless civilians and ordinary people displaced, with wailings and calls for help everywhere, but no one could help them.
Two days later, they saw the marching troops of the Dayu Empire, densely packed like ants, at least 200,000. It was obvious that their target was Beiling City.
Ji Xian was worried about the safety of Beiling City, so he fed a lot of pills to the flying monsters along the way, allowing them to increase their speed to the fastest.
The next evening, they finally arrived outside Beiling City. The military camp of the Dayu Empire continued for dozens of miles, and the vast white area was like a white ocean, with at least hundreds of thousands of people in terms of number.
Ji Xian and others looked extremely hard to see. He clearly remembered that only 70,000 troops were stationed in Beiling City. If the Daewoo Empire attacked the city in full swing, they would only last for half a month at most.
Moreover, this is still under the premise of defending the situation.
In order not to let the people of the Dayu Empire discover it, Ji Xian and others chose to enter the city from the sky after night.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack, hurry up, attack with the sky thunder arrow!"
"Everyone takes your place and attack immediately!"
"Don't panic, follow my orders, aim at the enemy and prepare to launch!"
Above the city wall, the officers of the Daqian Empire discovered Tang Li and others, and immediately ordered the soldiers to aim at the arrows as thick as your arm.
The Sky Thunder Arrow is a weapon of war. Even a strong man above the fifth level of the Wuji Realm will be killed on the spot after being shot.
At this time, Ji Xian took out a golden token and crushed it, and a golden dragon shadow appeared.
"It's Your Highness! Don't shoot arrows!"
"Stop it! Stop the attack!"
The officer guarding the city recognized this dragon shadow. In the Daqian Empire, only the prince would have it.
Soon, Tang Li and others landed on the wall.
"Attend Your Highness!"
Everyone knelt down one after another, and the officer in charge hurriedly came to Ji Xian.
"Where is General Zhang Yu? Take this prince to see him quickly!"
Ji Xian shouted.
"General Zhang is having a meeting."
The officers in charge immediately led the way.
Soon, everyone came to a hall, and more than a dozen generals were wearing armor and studying a military map.
"The Fourth Prince is here!"
Someone saw Ji Xian walk in and shouted loudly.
"See Your Highness!"
All the generals came to Ji Xian to salute. The first one was a middle-aged man with a tiger back and a bear waist and a scar on his face. He was the supreme commander here, Zhang Yu.
"You don't have to be too polite."
Ji Xian waved his hand, which was quite kingly.
"Your Highness, this place is very dangerous. Why did you come here?"
Zhang Yu's face changed slightly and he asked Ji Xian how noble Ji Xian's identity was. If something happened here, his sin would be great.
Ji Xian waved his hand and said, "General Zhang, don't worry about this for now. I would like to ask General Zhang, why did the Dayu Empire suddenly gather so many people to invade? Didn't we find anything before this? Also, after the war has been fought for so long, why did my Daqian Empire have no reinforcements?"
"It seems that the third prince has not paid attention to the war during this period." Zhang Yu sighed and continued, "It is indeed a dereliction of duty for our empire's intelligence department. I heard that the Dayu Empire had been preparing for this raid for three years. The reason why they suddenly had millions of troops here was because three years ago, they had already started to let their soldiers gather civilians and successfully concealed us. As for the reinforcements... the third prince probably didn't know that a month ago, the Moon-World Empire had declared war on our Daqian Empire. Their army attacked our empire border cities like crazy. Just when the nearby troops were transferred to support, the Dayu Empire started the war."
"Damn it!"
Ji Xian gritted his teeth. From this we can see that the Dayu Empire and the Moon-Worshiping Empire should have begun planning this war a long time ago.
"What are the general's plans next?"
Ji Xian took a deep breath and asked. Although he was the prince, the command here still belonged to Zhang Yu.
"I was discussing this matter with all the generals just now. We unanimously decided to withdraw from Beiling City and return to Longkou City for defense."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and then replied.
"What! Retreat!" Ji Xian was furious: "There are nearly four million people in this city. What should they do if you retreat!"
"Your Highness! The last general has no choice. Now there are only 100,000 troops in Beiling City, but the Dayu Empire has gathered more than one million people! If they have all their strength to attack the city, we may not be able to hold on for even ten days! What's more, Longkou City behind us has a strong wall and a hundred thousand troops stationed. In addition, there are as many as tens of millions of people in the city. No matter what the consideration is, we must retreat."
Zhang Yu said in embarrassment.
"No, this prince doesn't agree! The duty of our soldiers is to defend our country and protect the people!"
Ji Xian waved his hand without thinking and said.
"Your Highness, you heard the last words of the general. I and the generals also want to stay and fight to the end with the enemy and live and die with Longkou City. But if we all die, Longkou City will definitely not be able to defend it. By then, it will not be the only people who will die in Beiling City! What's more, you should know how important the geographical location of Longkou City is. If it is lost, then our Daqian Empire will lose all the initiative in the southwest region in the future!"
Zhang Yu gritted his teeth. He also made great decisions to make this decision.
"Then buy time! Beiling City can be lost, but the people here must be transferred safely!"
After thinking about it, Ji Xian also made concessions.
"There are people from the Dayu Empire everywhere, so it's not easy to transfer four million people. It's impossible to do so without half a month. By then, all of our people will be terrified to death."
Zhang Yu said.
As soon as this said, Ji Xian glanced at Tang Li, then gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Then start a holy war! Start a holy war in the name of this prince!"
Everyone looked at Ji Xian, and Zhang Yu said, "Your Highness, you must not. We are the one guarding the city. If you lose, all of us, officers and soldiers, including your highness, will die! Our humble body is not worth jealous of death, but you are the prince, and your identity is so noble. If there is anything unexpected, then we will become sinners throughout the ages!"
"Everyone is equal in front of life. If you are willing, then what is my life?"
