A battle report was urgently sent to the general's mansion when the war in the north was raging.
The scout who delivered the battle report was kneeling on the ground with one knee, and one of his arms had already been broken. This shows how difficult this journey was.
"General, Gufengkou...has been lost!"
The scout's eyes were full of blood and tears, and he said in pain: "General Zhao Dezhi and deputy general Xue Wanxian were both killed in battle!"
"Mr. Dong, Mr. Lu, die in battle!"
"Master Dean, Liu Jianxian and others will all die in battle!"
"The high priest of the demon clan also died at Gufengkou!"
Every time the scout spoke, the general Ning Ping was shocked, and the hearts of the other generals present sank.
When the demon clan high priest died in the final battle, it was very exciting.
They probably never thought before the war that in the end, the demon clan actually chose to open a gap from Gufengkou and began to encroach on the northern line of the Great Wall.
What is even more unimaginable is that the Demon Emperor not only did not appear in the General's Mansion, but instead appeared in Gufengkou.
This number one person in the world was already difficult to match, and the entire human race could not find anyone to fight with him. However, such an almost invincible person actually chose to act like this.
This is hard to guard against.
"It seems that the red-sleeved demon king is really capable. Even though he is quite capable of marching and fighting, he can actually persuade the demon emperor to act like this."
Ning Ping smoothed his messy hair. Thanks to the temporary retreat of the demon army outside the General's Mansion, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit here and talk about the military situation.
But this is obviously the Red Sleeve Demon Lord’s intention.
Now that Gufengkou has been lost, as long as the demon clan holds on to that pass, continues to advance, and expands its lead, then soon, the Great Wall of the North will be officially declared to have been lost.
Daliang and even the entire human race's northern defense line were completely gone.
"General Xie, look..."
Ning Ping glanced at Xie Nandu, who was not far away, and sighed. This female general was a little frustrated at the moment. It was obviously not just because she was at a disadvantage in the previous fight with the Red-sleeved Demon Lord.
In addition to her senior brother Banbi, there is also Mr. Dean. However,
#Every time verification appears, please do not use incognito mode!
In fact, probably no one can figure this out. The person the Red Sleeve Demon Lord cares about most is the demon clan high priest, but he can still decisively treat him as bait and abandon him.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with what Xie Nandu thought. If there was a chance to kill the high priest, the morale would undoubtedly be greatly improved. Even if not, sending out two Fuyuns could stabilize the defense line of Gufengkou.
After all, her judgment at that time was that the General's Mansion would not be a place where the demon clan would really attack with all its strength.
From this point of view, she was not wrong. The only thing she did not expect was that the Demon Emperor would appear at Gufengkou.
After calming down for a moment, Xie Nandu took a breath, came to the map, and said: "After capturing Gufengkou, the demon tribe stagnated. In fact, they just wanted to wait a little longer."
Ning Ping frowned slightly and smiled bitterly: "Since Gufengkou has been captured, it will have a huge impact on the imperial court, Fang Wai, and the entire world. The imperial court will be shaken, and Fang Wai will doubt.
As time goes by, the morale of the army will be lost, and the monks will feel that there is no hope."
The fall of a Gufengkou does not mean that the Great Wall of the North has fallen, but it is indeed something that has never happened before. Therefore, as long as the news spreads, everyone in the country will think about these things, and the people will be worried.
, maybe they will put pressure on the imperial court to ask for peace, and the officials in the imperial court may also ask the prince to sue for peace.
As for the monks outside the country, they lacked confidence to begin with. Now, the monks who were thinking of coming might not come, and the monks in the north might also have to leave.
The reason why the demon clan is temporarily suspending the war is because they are waiting for these things to happen. After they happen, whether they agree to the human race's peace proposal or go south again, they will consume much less.
The Red Sleeve Demon Lord is indeed the demon who understands the human race best, and her understanding of human hearts is no weaker than that of the human race itself.
"We must regain Gufengkou as soon as possible."
Ningping pointed at Gufengkou. The war has developed so far. Although the pass has been lost, the situation is not irreversible. It should be recovered as soon as possible.
pass to prevent the war from deteriorating further.
It's just that after Ning Ping said these words, the generals in the General's Mansion were speechless. At this moment, the fighting in the General's Mansion had stopped, but the demon army was still outside the city, and there was even more fighting on the Moon Watching Platform.
It hasn't stopped until now.
The most critical thing is that these are the only troops in the northern border. The General's Mansion cannot move, and they are also stretched thin.
"Otherwise, we can transfer some people from Ningguan and Yunzhongshan."
Ning Ping looked at Xie Nandu with questioning eyes, and Xie Nandu just said: "When the time comes, those two places will be empty and will be lost again, but it would be okay if we regain the Gufengkou in exchange for the loss of those two places. But what if it can't be done?
?”
If it fails, then two more passes will be lost.
"Besides, the most important thing now is probably not the number of soldiers, but something else." .??.
Xie Nandu didn't make it clear what the other thing was, but all the generals present knew that it was how the number of Fuyun experts solved the Demon Emperor.
If the balance of power cannot be achieved in terms of the number of Fuyun experts, then no matter how the northern border is arranged, the final result will not be very good.
Everyone knows this.
Ning Ping was speechless.
"But Gufengkou should be recovered as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in great trouble."
Xie Nandu stared at the map, pointed at that place, was silent for a long time, and then said: "Also, General, are the military reports going to be sent to the capital now?"
According to convention, military reports from the northern border should be delivered to Shendu as soon as possible. Although the general's office has the right to command operations, Shendu also has the right to know.
It's just that under the current situation, if the military report is sent to the capital, it will definitely cause riots and the matter will be huge.
People are panicked and the government is in turmoil.
"Even if the military report is not sent back to the divine capital, the demon clan still has the means to spread the news in Daliang. There is no need to hide this kind of thing."
Outside the main hall, Chen Chao walked in, looking exhausted.
Outside the General's Mansion, Chen Chao and Zhuo Ri fought for a long time. Although they were not injured, they were dragged by the Fuyun Demon and could not leave the battlefield.
That is
#Every time verification appears, please do not use incognito mode!
The demon clan's purpose at that time was not in the General's Mansion, otherwise I'm afraid the current situation in the General's Mansion would not be like this.
Of course, this has always been the result of the game between the two parties. After all, the Red Sleeve Demon King is also worried about whether the General's Mansion has any backup plans.
Ning Ping looked at Chen Chao, "But if such a thing is reported back, it will definitely be very troublesome."
It wouldn't matter if His Majesty was the one sitting in charge of this city of gods. His Majesty would definitely be able to suppress such a thing. But the problem is that it is not His Majesty who is there, but His Highness the Crown Prince.
Although they both bleed the same blood, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Emperor are always different.
The two people...have always been different.
"The ministers in the DPRK will definitely have huge differences and the pressure will be great. I don't know if His Royal Highness can withstand it."
Ning Ping sighed. They were fighting in the north, so they could only take care of things in the north, but they were often powerless when it came to things in the south.
Xie Nandu glanced at Chen Chao, thought for a moment and said, "You have to go."
"But now the North cannot live without you."
This is a very contradictory statement.
Now, no matter who these people in the north are, they will not have any effect if they return to the south, because they have no prestige in the south and cannot be considered to have much influence in the government and the opposition.
As for the Chen Dynasty, although he may not always have a positive prestige in the court, in the hearts of the people, this young guardian envoy is very trustworthy.
In any case, Chen Chao is the most suitable candidate.
But as Xie Nandu said, the current northern border is already at a disadvantage. Once the Chen Dynasty leaves and the demon clan finds out that the Chen Dynasty has left, it will be very troublesome.
Chen Chao looked at the map and said, "I want to go to Gufengkou. The Demon Emperor cannot stay there forever."
"no."
Xie Nandu stared at Chen Chao, "They may have set an ambush for you at Gufengkou."
There is no doubt that if there is no Chen Dynasty in the north now, then the whole game of chess will be completely defeated in Daliang.
Chen Chao smiled and said: "If there is a big bag over there, then I will open it."
