Chapter 820: Slow down the battle and consolidate the results(1/2)
"Send my order to stop the march!"
The bad news has arrived, and Cheng Mu has no intention of moving on.
The top priority now is to figure out how long it will take for the extraterrestrial demons to arrive.
As for the desert scorpions that Xie Xuan met, they were just the vanguard of the demons.
In other words, at this moment, there are demons not only in the Western Region Protectorate of the Tang Empire, but also in any country on the planet.
In this case, the goal of the war changed instantly.
Before, it could be called a civil war. But now, it's time for everyone to work together to defend against foreign enemies.
Soon after, messages flew into Cheng Mu's hands like snowflakes.
The Han Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty... Even Cheng Mu's Apocalypse Empire had the shadow of the demon clan.
The battle situation on the planet Earth became extremely chaotic at this moment.
Some people want to defend the enemy together, while others want to take advantage of the opportunity to use troops against neighboring countries.
So throughout the entire Chinese civilization, the emperors of each empire had their own ideas.
"Your Majesty, do we want to withdraw our troops?"
Guo Jia looked at the urgent letter and hurriedly asked.
At this time, several demon armies appeared in the Apocalypse Empire.
Although Di Renjie led the local guards to strangle, the speed at which they killed the demons was not as fast as the speed at which the demons from outside the territory arrived.
If we don't lead the army back to support, I'm afraid there will be unrest in the country.
"Yes, but we can't withdraw completely."
Cheng Mu thought about joining forces with various countries to resist the demons outside the territory, but how could he be willing to hand over the newly acquired territory to Li Shimin?
So, he made up his mind.
Order Xie Xuan and Wei Xiaobao to continue marching and must capture Anxi City and Andong City.
He can temporarily give up the core territory of the Tang Dynasty, but he will decide on the three major protective palaces under the command of the Tang Dynasty!
I have spent a lot of time and effort to conquer it myself, so I have to bring something back!
"Wei Chen obeys your orders!"
Guo Jia nodded, and it seemed that he agreed with Cheng Mu.
Di Ri's sub-barbarian army all retreated, and Lei Dun, the king of the sand tribe, also died in the battle.
If they cannot gain something that satisfies His Majesty, then they will have failed in this battle.
Although they had the result of killing Li Jing and Li Ji, how could killing people be considered a gain?
"Your Majesty, I would like to go back first!"
Li Cunxiao was very excited.
He heard that among the descending demons there was a half-step god stage powerhouse, wouldn't this be tailor-made for him?
He also understood Cheng Mu's personality.
The use of troops against the Tang Empire will be suspended for some time.
When you haven't had enough killing pleasure, the demons from outside the territory are your best enemies!
"Can!"
Cheng Mu nodded in agreement. Currently, his country is indeed empty and he needs a large army to come back for reinforcements.
Since Zuo Ci ascended to the throne, there are actually not many powerful people in Tianqi Empire now.
Zhuge Liang counts as one, the newly surrendered Lou Shide counts as one, plus Xiang Rui Qilin and Li Lao, the combat effectiveness of the strong men stationed in the country is not top-notch.
However, in order to consolidate the victory, Cheng Mu still left a large army behind.
Legion of Apocalypse.
He stationed Guan Hai and the Apocalypse Army here.
"I have issued an order. Wang Tiechui and Ou Yezi will set off today."
"When the teleportation array is successfully constructed, you will return by the teleportation array!"
Cheng Mu never vomited out anything he ate.
He wanted to rebuild Anbei City here, which was only a few hundred miles away from the core territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Guan Hai and the Apocalypse Army were left behind, naturally to guard against Li Shimin's unruly sneak attack and counterattack.
As long as the teleportation array is successfully established by then, this place will truly become the territory of the Apocalypse Empire.
At the same time, Cheng Mu also conveyed the same order to Xie Xuan and Wei Xiaobao.
After capturing Anxi City and Andong City, stationed in the city and waited for the establishment of the teleportation array.
After the construction of these three teleportation arrays is completed, once the problem of the extraterrestrial demons is solved, the Apocalypse Empire's army will be able to divide into three groups and push down.
At this moment, Cheng Mu felt a glimmer of benefit brought by the arrival of the demons.
With the teleportation array here, he no longer has to worry about the army's logistical supply problems!
"Wei Chen takes orders!"
Guan Hai is well aware of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
He did not refuse and took on such an important task without hesitation.
Li Cunxiao has Li Cunxiao's mission, and he has his mission to govern Hai.
As long as everyone performs their duties and follows Cheng Mu's orders, everything is correct!
...
Anxi Protectorate.
Xie Xuan has solved the problem of Scorpion.
He personally led the army and rushed to Gongyue City.
With more than three million troops pressing down on the border, the lord of Gongyue City abandoned the city and surrendered.
But just when Xie Xuan decided to rest for a day in Gongyue City, a piece of heavy news came.
Anxi City is currently being besieged by demons from outside the territory.
"Rally the army and support Anxi City!"
After getting the news, Xie Xuan rushed out without even getting hot.
Anxi City belongs to you, how can you let the demons from outside the territory take it away?
...
Anxi City.
As the largest city in the Anxi Protectorate, its owner is Zhang Yichao, who is rarely famous in history.
However, although Zhang Yichao is not famous in history, he is also a national hero. He led the army to drive away Tubo and returned the Western Regions that had been occupied for nearly a hundred years to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty.
Its historical status is also extremely high.
At this time, Zhang Yichao was standing on the city wall, commanding the soldiers to resist the demon attack.
Outside the city, densely packed three-legged demons were running rapidly, and the arrows fired by the soldiers defending the city could not hurt them at all.
"Crack!"
A three-legged demon rushed under the city wall and stabbed it with the sharp bone in its hand.
In an instant, the hard city bricks were cut open like tofu.
The three-legged demon used its hands and feet to climb up the city wall little by little.
"Fire oil! Fire oil!"
Zhang Yichao roared. Seeing the dense monsters crawling on the city wall, he ordered the soldiers to push down the kerosene.
In an instant, a raging fire ignited.
The hot flame finally caused damage to the monster.
"Ho! Roar~"
Amidst roars, large pieces of monsters fell down.
The burning oil made a crackling sound on them, and a strong burning smell filled the air.
However, how can a mere fire oil resist the pace of monsters?
After seeing that the three-legged demon's attack on the city was blocked, the three-eyed demon behind opened its third eye.
moment.
