"The alien beasts have retreated, we have defeated the alien beasts!"
"The beast tide has receded, we won!!"
In an instant, the entire Northern Xinjiang Royal Army was filled with excited shouts one after another, and the soldiers waved their spears and halberds involuntarily.
They defeated an army of tens of thousands of wild beasts from the mountains and forests. This victory was achieved at the expense of the lives of countless brothers.
Finally, they won!
"Immediately count the casualties, reorganize the armaments, close the front line, and always be on guard against the Hutian Pass guards taking advantage of the opportunity to act!"
When the young prince learned the news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately conveyed a series of orders.
Soon, the casualties appeared in front of the young prince.
But the young prince's brows tightened again.
Three hundred thousand troops.
The 50,000-strong army in the mountains and forests was completely wiped out.
The 250,000 troops that entered the Hutian Grand Canyon were swept by the tide of alien beasts, killing more than 90,000 people and injuring no less than 50,000!
This means that of the 250,000-strong army, only less than 110,000 are left who can fight again!
The alien beasts swept through for more than an hour, causing the army to suffer such heavy losses!
"Your Highness!"
Just when the young prince's face was dark, Duan Jinglei quickly boarded the chariot and came to the young prince's side.
The young prince only said one word: "Say!"
"The scouts sent word that they discovered that the advance force of the Tianwei Army, numbering no less than 20,000 people, was only thirty miles away from Hutian Pass!"
"The Mighty Heavenly Army?"
Hearing these words, the young prince's brows instantly furrowed.
The discovery of the Tianwei Army means that the reinforcements from Hutian Pass are coming. It is less than thirty miles away. With a rapid march, it may be possible to enter Hutian Pass in less than half a day!
Duan Jinglei said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, half a day is too short. In addition, we have suffered such heavy losses now. If we continue to attack the city, we may be in danger of destruction..."
"Um?"
Before Duan Jinglei could finish speaking, the young prince suddenly looked into Duan Jinglei's eyes.
The coldness of this moment made Duan Jinglei's whole body tremble violently.
Cold words then came from the young prince's mouth: "Retreat? Do you know that if we retreat from this battle, the great cause of our Northern Xinjiang Palace will be postponed for at least a year!"
The young prince suddenly stood up and pointed angrily at Duan Jinglei: "Do you want my Northern Xinjiang Palace's years of planning to be ruined in one day?"
Duan Jinglei's face was immediately filled with fear at this sentence. He immediately knelt down on one knee, not daring to raise his head: "I... I don't mean this!"
"this……"
When the surrounding generals and counselors saw this, they originally wanted to persuade the young prince to retreat, but they were instantly held back and did not dare to say anything again.
Looking around at everyone, the young prince slowly sat back in his seat.
The moment he sat down, the sharpness in his eyes was like a monstrous sword, soaring straight into the sky: "Send my order! The three armies should reorganize, gather their spears, and continue to attack Hutian Pass!"
"First army goes up first and fights to the last man. Second army goes up!"
"Two armies fight to the last man and three armies come forward!"
"Until we conquer Hutian Pass!"
"Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed without mercy! Whoever takes the lead in breaking through Hutian Pass will be given an official title!"
In an instant, the young prince issued several orders, causing the minds of several people present to tremble violently.
No one thought that under such circumstances, it would be okay not to retreat, but they would actually give the order to advance instead of retreating!
But facing the young prince's tiger-like eyes, no one dared to hesitate and immediately conveyed the order.
Just after the military order was issued.
The young prince's expression and eyes gradually returned to calm.
Even his words became calmer: "The tide of alien beasts has caused heavy losses to our army. Not only do you think that I will retreat, but the defenders of Hutian Pass also think so, and even the Tianwei Army who got the news will also think so.
I think so!"
"Your Highness, do you mean that the defenders of Hutian Pass will slack off, resulting in a weak defense force? The reinforcements of the Tianwei Army will also slack off, resulting in a slowdown in the pace of reinforcements?"
When a military advisor heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
"I see!"
When everyone heard this, they were also stunned.
"Soldiers are imaginary and real, and they are deceitful!"
The young prince said: "Since everyone thought I would retreat, I decided to retreat in order to catch him off guard!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Everyone whispered again and again, looking at the young prince again with even more admiration.
…
"Kill!!"
"Conquer Hutian Pass and be granted an official title!!"
"Go ahead!!"
In an instant, the shouts of killing that had just subsided on the battlefield broke out again.
The densely packed soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Palace bypassed the corpses of alien beasts, stepped over the corpses of soldiers, stepped through the blood on the ground, and charged forward towards Hutian Pass again.
And at this moment in the Tiger Sky Pass.
Almost all the generals guarding Hutian Pass put down their weapons, thinking that the rebels from the Northern Xinjiang Palace would inevitably retreat.
Many soldiers even ran down the city wall to celebrate with their families in the city.
Not to mention them, even Luo An, who was responsible for defending the city, had already ordered the logistics officers.
They have even begun to cook sheep and slaughter cattle, preparing to reward the three armies.
Luo An thought about taking the initiative to attack, but now, the number of defenders at Hutian Pass is less than 40,000, and the main generals have been sent out by Chu Ran. They only have the power to defend the city, but not the ability to attack.
Therefore, I had to give up.
Just wait for the rebels from the Northern Xinjiang Palace to retreat and enter the trap that Chu Ran has already laid out.
By then, the world will be settled!
However, they never expected that the rebels would unexpectedly advance instead of retreating!
This sudden attack caught everyone off guard.
Even Luo An was a little dumbfounded.
After discovering the rebel attack, they quickly redeployed their soldiers for protection.
The rebels almost broke through the city wall defenses several times. Although they were able to defend themselves, they suffered heavy casualties.
Don't say it's them.
Even Chu Ran, who was fighting Tian Qing in the void, couldn't help but be shocked when he noticed this situation!
He didn't expect this situation at all!
Before the war, he considered various endings.
One possibility is that the rebels of the Northern Xinjiang Palace were completely defeated by the tide of alien beasts, and they did not need to take action at all.
The other was that before him, the tide of alien beasts retreated midway. After all, he knew that there were countless strong men in the Northern Xinjiang Palace, and it was expected to repel the beast king and stop the tide of beasts.
The second one is also what he thinks is the most likely scenario.
It was precisely in response to this situation that he asked Jiu Mengzi, Tian Mo, Ying Sha, and Duan Ling to lead their troops out of Hutian Pass, intercept and kill the rebels on the way back from the Northern Xinjiang Palace, and take the opportunity to annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop.
However, they never expected that the Northern Xinjiang Royal Army would continue to attack despite suffering extremely heavy casualties.
But he has already transferred out all the generals and elites from Hutian Pass.
As a result, the current Hutian Pass only has 40,000 defenders with low combat effectiveness and the only defense formation that relies on the pass!
But no matter how powerful the formation is, it cannot withstand the impact of several rounds of tens of thousands of troops.
The remaining hundreds of thousands of elites in the Northern Xinjiang Palace still have the ability to break the Tiger Sky Pass.
"boom!"
After another confrontation with Tian Qing, when Tian Qing's spiritual power was exhausted and diminished, Chu Ran took the opportunity to connect to Luo An's communication crystal, which had been shaking for a while.
"Boss, the rebel offensive is too fierce. Hutian Pass may not be able to resist for too long. Let Tianmo and General Duanling return to support!"
