Chapter 400: Retreat your troops, retreat your troops, be good
In Wu Qingrou's imagination, Jing Menghun led his men and horses, and after killing the King of Hell of Chu at the last moment, he continued to create obstacles for Tie Yun's army. It was still possible to delay the attack for an hour or two.
And this should be the case! Even if three thousand masters were carrying out sabotage at the same time, with their skills dozens of times higher than ordinary soldiers, they could rush to the front of the team and set up roadblocks to stop the cavalry. Doing these things in such mountains and forests
It's too easy. Just cut down a few big trees casually. What's more, before that, Wu Qingrou ordered the entire mountain forest to be burned, creating an atmosphere of terror where every tree and plant was under attack!
Under such circumstances, not to mention an hour or two, even if the delay lasts longer, Jing Menghun should be able to do it! What's more, in Wu Qingrou's vision, Tie Butian still needs to find the whereabouts of King Chu Hell.
This again requires time and energy.
Generally speaking, no matter what, the delay in Tie Butian's return journey will never be less than two hours! It may not be completed in four hours, or even eight hours.
But Wu Qingrou only needs two hours. This requirement is not high. Even if anyone designs this journey, the delay of two hours will only be a lot more!
But these two hours are the most important time. They are the three hundred miles away from Wu Qingrou’s plan!
Although two hours is not a short time, no matter how elite the cavalry is after a long journey, it cannot cover the three hundred miles, but it is enough to shorten the distance to two hundred and fifty miles! Or even shorter!
As long as the enemy sees or hears the vibration of the cavalry, under their current situation, they will definitely riot. What Fifth Qingrou needs is this kind of internal commotion. Because at that distance, hundreds of thousands of troops
It is impossible to pass through the sloping valley in an orderly manner! The interior is in chaos, making it even more difficult to pass, and we can only squeeze into a ball.
This is human nature. Everyone wants to live, and everyone wants to push forward and find a way out for themselves. In a chaotic situation, even a warrior who has fought a hundred battles is just a bunch of rabble!
Wu Qingrou grasped it very accurately.
These two hours are the time to unify the world! The final result of the battle between the two countries, with tens of millions of armies fighting, may be fixed within these two hours!
But Wu Qingrou never expected that the ninth-grade throne leader, who led thousands of masters, would not even blink of an eye! He ran away without making any effort to stop the army.
Because Wu Qingrou would never have thought that King Chu Yan, who in his impression should be dying long ago and struggling for his life, would burst out with such terrifying fighting power at such a last moment! Jing Menghun was besieged by three thousand masters, and it turned out that
He killed more than a thousand people with one person!
Even Jing Menghun, who was at the peak of the ninth-grade throne, was seriously injured and ran for his life in embarrassment. This is a terrifying variable, and it is also a variable that no one would think of even if they think about it!
What he didn't expect was that the arrival of King Chu Hell and the arrival of Tie Butian's army were actually at the same time! They met directly.
In this way, all the search time was saved. Then Tie Butian made a prompt decision and ordered Wu Kuangyun to lead his army to return immediately, which saved time again.
After this repetition, the time that Fifth Qingrou's army can use becomes very small!
Fortunately, each of the three generals selected by Wu Qingrou were enterprising desperadoes! Although they did not get the two-hour buffer, their almost lifeless galloping actually shortened the time.
Some.
This gradually made the situation almost stalemate.
While Wu Kuangyun was on his way to quickly retreat and return for reinforcements, he had already used the Flying Eagle to send a message: ordering Wu Yi, who was waiting in Xiegu, to return to Tianxi Pass immediately!
He also clearly pointed out: If our army arrives and the enemy's army arrives at the same time, then even if Wu Kuangyun leads 300,000 of his disciples to die under Tianli Pass, he will not be allowed to leave the pass to respond!
After receiving the news, Wu Yi immediately saw the urgency of the situation and immediately ordered the two hundred thousand troops to rush back at night! Only an empty sloping valley was left. At the same time that they withdrew into Guanzhong, Wu Kuangyun's cavalry
He galloped into the Xie Valley like a thunderbolt, drove straight in, and entered the Tianxi Pass all the way.
The moment Wu Kuangyun's cavalry entered Tianli Pass, Wu Qingrou's three armies also arrived one after another! Wu Kuangyun's rear army, which numbered nearly 50,000 people, was overtaken outside Tianli Pass and was killed.
Forced to turn around and fight to the death with the enemy!
In this battle, no one of the 50,000 soldiers survived! The enemy also crossed the Xie Valley and stationed troops at the Tianli Pass! Taking advantage of the remaining power of the battle, they launched an siege without stopping for a moment!
The natural danger of Tianxi Pass played a huge role at this moment!
Every moment, hundreds to thousands of people die, and every moment, more people rush forward! Both sides are eager to stop!
Wu Kuangyun couldn't give up, because he had to guard the Tianli Pass, and after guarding the pass, he had to go to meet His Majesty! So he couldn't retreat even an inch. Relying on the natural danger, he would fight to the death!
The three tiger generals of Da Zhao were even more in a dilemma! They never imagined that they would fall into an extremely embarrassing situation!
They marched forward in high spirits, killing enemies along the way, rushing into the Xie Valley like a broken bamboo, and rushed to the foot of Tianli Pass, and then they discovered: What the hell is this place!
There is a long sloping valley for hundreds of miles, with cliffs on both sides. After entering, it is such a large open space. It is hundreds of miles in radius, like a huge gourd with an extremely long gourd stem.
After entering, it is actually very difficult to get out.
Now their front and center troops have entered this open space, and the rear army still has a long tail in the sloping valley. This situation is simply extremely uncomfortable.
Entering, there is the dangerous Tianshu Pass in front of you. Exiting...how to retreat?
If we retreat, we only have to wait until the retreat reaches a certain level. The moment everyone enters the inclined valley, Wu Kuangyun of Tianli Pass will definitely send troops to pursue... Then, if we cannot advance or retreat in this narrow inclined valley, there must be an army.
Annihilated alive by the opponent!
That is a huge sacrifice!
Moreover, they were reluctant to give up this great opportunity to attack the city, and the three of them were riding a tiger. In addition to these three people, the golden tiger general Jin Nankai, the silver tiger general Long Ao, and the jade tiger general Yu Chenglong were all enterprising generals.
To put it nicely, he is brave and good at fighting and to move forward in an indomitable way; to put it more unpleasantly, he is a desperado!
These three people are all desperadoes, staunch imperialists, and it is precisely because of their desperado qualities that they were chosen by Wu Qingrou to carry out this thousand-mile mission.
But although the Fifth Prime Minister was cautious all his life, he made a huge mistake here: because he did not say what to do if this happens?
Because he would not have thought of such a situation at all. At the very least, if the enemy is greatly killed and a glorious victory is achieved, it is certain.
But because of the variable of King Chu of Hell, this glorious victory turned into a difficult situation, which even the fifth prime minister, even with his supreme wisdom, could not have imagined.
After the war broke out, these three desperadoes who were unable to dismount from the tiger actually ordered that the corpses, rocks and trees be gathered together, put them under the Tianli Pass and lit them on fire!
Suddenly the sky cracked and the stench filled the sky. The pungent smell made people nauseous.
This move is simply inhumane!
Both the enemy and our side felt spine-tingling at this decision.
There are more than 100,000 corpses in the inclined valley. Including the corpses from the last war that had not been collected in time, and this time, there are only 300,000 more. Of course, there are the remains of Tieyun soldiers, but most of them are
It belongs to Da Zhao!
Just pile up like this and burn?
Who can help but feel sad when a rabbit dies and a fox dies? We fight for Zhao, conquer the country for Zhao, throw our heads and shed blood, this is what we should do. Because we are Zhao people, but... after we die in battle, even our corpses
It also becomes a weapon against the enemy... Isn't this too cruel and inhumane?
The tree is hundreds of feet tall and its leaves still fall back to its roots; but after we die, even our ashes cannot reach our homes?
If I am the next one to die... will my body also be thrown into the fire? Will it become a pile of burned skeletons?
The fire was burning, and countless soldiers above and below the city were meditating, each thinking about their own thoughts. In an instant, this noisy battlefield became somewhat silent.
The three generals were helpless: What do you want us to do? Not to burn? Why do we want to burn?! But, this is summer!
The weather is hot, and if too many corpses are piled up and left untreated, a plague will occur! With the plague, more than a million people are present, and everyone must leave their lives here!
Digging holes and burying them is even more unrealistic. This is a mountainous area, buddy. Use your ax to chop down a white mark, and the stone chips will fly away. If you want to bury hundreds of thousands of corpses... then these three troops really don't need to do anything else.
.
But after the three people explained it among their own troops, the results were not great.
Although the implementation is like this, understanding it or not is another matter. Even if it is burned... it cannot be burned as a weapon, right?
The battle situation became stalemate, and they were attacking the city every day. Although the results were not great, the three people were helpless and couldn't think of any other way, so they could only suffer day by day.
Wu Kuangyun inside Tianli Pass was even more anxious!
If you can't take it, just retreat! I promise not to pursue you. As soon as you leave, I will send you off with my Yangko. But what's the point of being entangled here like this to the death or alive?
I still have to go to meet His Majesty!
Wu Kuangyun even went to the top of the Tianli Pass to shout in person. His exact words were as follows: "Jin Nankai, Long Ao, Yu Chenglong, you three bastards, listen to your grandpa! I am Wu Kuangyun! You hurry up
Retreat quickly, I will definitely not pursue you, I will definitely not pursue you! I will definitely let you leave safely! I swear by my character! Retreat your troops quickly, people are dying here every day, how miserable it is. Retreat your troops, retreat your troops,
