Tang Zhong stood on his big carriage, looking at the camp that was plunged into a sea of fire. His face was neither sad nor happy. In fact, his heart was not as calm as he looked on the surface. He really didn't want to lose, but
When things got to this point, he had no choice but to retreat even if he didn't want to, so he had no choice but to retreat.
He had watched hundreds of thousands of anti-Holy Alliance troops collapse in front of him before. He felt so proud at that time, but now, he had to burn down the camp he had built and then leave here.
This kind of mood is really a mixture of all kinds of flavors.
However, Tang Zhong believes that he will regain this position sooner or later. He believes that the reason why he will lose this time is because they are on the offensive side, and the troops they brought this time are insufficient, so they will lose.
As long as you give him a chance and let him lead enough troops, he will definitely defeat Zhao Hai and the others, he will definitely do it.
At this time, a man walked up to Tang Zhong and said to Tang Zhong: "General, there is news from the front. Zhao Hai and the others did not come to pursue them. They seem to be filling holes."
Tang Zhong nodded and said: "It is indeed Zhao Hai's style. He knows that it is useless to catch up, so he simply stopped chasing. He told General Wu to retreat slowly and pay attention to Zhao Hai and the others' movements at all times. Zhao Hai's
These guys are very cunning, and you must not give them any chance." The man responded, turned around and left.
But at this time, Zhao Hai really did what the man said, they were filling in the holes, and now they had to fill back all the holes they dug before.
However, the soldiers did not complain at all. These pits helped them block the enemy's attack, allowing them to maintain a very low casualty rate in this battle. The soldiers were happy when they thought of this.
It is certainly gratifying to be able to repel the enemy without many casualties. For those ordinary soldiers, any meritorious service is all fake. After a big war, ordinary soldiers who really perform well and can perform meritorious service can
How many are there? Most ordinary soldiers still care about whether they can survive.
Now they not only survived, but also defeated the enemy. Of course they were happy. Speaking of it, they, ordinary soldiers, might be more willing to do this kind of work than to risk their lives on the battlefield.
In fact, this situation is very common in the spiritual soldier world. Years of war have long made people here have a very serious war-weary mood. However, those who are war-weary are, after all, ordinary people or
They are ordinary soldiers and high-level people who will not tire of war because they are ambitious.
Zhao Hai stood on the city wall. Looking at the soldiers below, he said to Shi Chui in a deep voice: "Have everyone arranged to go out? We must let them arrive at the predetermined location as soon as possible, and then install the teleportation array."
Shi Chui said in a deep voice: "Young master, don't worry. Everyone has been sent out and they will definitely arrive at the location at the scheduled time. We just need to attract the attention of the Holy Academy army here."
Zhao Hai nodded and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the Holy Court army's attention is all on us now. As long as we mess around here, they will feel anxious. As long as they stay in those small cities for a while,
, we can have more time to prepare.”
Shi Chui nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Master, all the people who came into contact with those guys who surrendered have been monitored. Those guys don't seem to be suspicious of those guys."
Zhao Hai nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, as long as there is no suspicion, let's go down and tell everyone not to worry. As long as we can fill up all the ditches and pits today, we will put out the fire tomorrow."
, I’m afraid the fire in the camp will not be extinguished in one day. By the way, send people to control the fire, but don’t burn all the surrounding mountains.”
Shi Chui smiled and said, "Don't worry, young master, I will make arrangements."
Zhao Hai nodded, followed Shi Chui back to the City Lord's Mansion, and then summoned the generals from each city-state to the City Lord's Mansion. Those generals were all very excited. Although they have not yet destroyed the Holy Court's army,
After all, the Holy Court's army retreated, and they were considered to have won a small victory. Naturally, they were very happy. The morale that was hurt when they failed last time on New Year's Day has completely recovered.
Seeing everyone's happy faces, Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "Okay, I think everyone is very happy, but there is still work to be done. Today we will fill up all the pits and ditches, and tomorrow we will fill up all the pits and ditches in the Holy Courtyard."
The fire was put out, and then we rested for a day and set off directly, but we must be careful along the way to avoid being ambushed by the other party."
Everyone agreed, Zhao Hai glanced at them and said in a deep voice: "Okay, there are so many things, I won't say anything more. After everyone goes back, have a good rest, but you must also pack your things. After all,
We'll be leaving in a few days, don't forget anything, go ahead." Everyone responded, turned around and left.
In the next two days, Zhao Hai and the others carried out everything step by step, filling pits, putting out fires, resting for a day, and then the army set off.
Zhao Hai and his army are moving forward, but more people are sent out to conduct reconnaissance. Some Wu Kong-level masters can be seen everywhere in the woods. They can ensure that the army will not encounter any ambush when they advance.
Not to mention that this was really useful. As they advanced, they really alerted some masters from the Holy Academy. Those masters were all Wu Kong-level masters, and there were quite a few of them. They obviously wanted to attack the army.
, but they were all frightened away by the Wukong-level masters sent by Zhao Hai.
The army moved forward slowly, not very fast. Zhao Hai did not send the reconnaissance cavalry too far. He just wanted to ensure everyone's safety. Of course, they also left enough defenders in the city behind them.
, this time Zhao Hai went on an expedition with less than 400,000 troops.
Their advance was not very fast. After three days, they reached the defense line composed of several small towns.
When he got there, Zhao Hai discovered that a defense line had really been built here. Several military camps and several small towns formed a very long defense line here. Although this defense line seemed too long, it only needed to be attacked fiercely.
This line of defense can be broken through, but Zhao Hai knows very well that it won't be that easy.
They only attack one point, not to mention whether they can break through that point. What if other people come to support? The defense line is so long. If you attack hard, other parts of the defense line may send troops to attack your flanks or even your rear.
Army, by that time, your army will be faced with enemies on several sides, which is not a good thing.
However, Zhao Hai and the others were not in a hurry. After arriving here, Zhao Hai directly set up five camps, and he sat in the Chinese army's tent, so the two sides formed a confrontation.
Zhao Hai was not in a hurry to attack. He first asked people to cut wood in the surrounding mountains and make various siege equipment. He looked unhurried.
The Holy Court's army was also very interesting. They actually learned the methods used by Zhao Hai. They also dug many small pits and trenches outside their camp, making it impossible for Zhao Hai and his army to charge.
When Zhao Hai saw this situation, he couldn't help but smile. It was so interesting that the other party used this method to deal with them, but he wasn't worried about anything. Anyway, he wasn't planning to attack right away, and to be honest, the other party was not worried about this.
The defense line must be a temporary defense line. It looks good, but if you want to rely on this defense line to block their attack, it is simply impossible. The other party obviously knows this. The reason why they are here to fight with Zhao Hai
They were confronting each other, probably just to buy some time and prepare for a future retreat.
Zhao Hai was not in a hurry. A large number of siege equipment needed to be prepared, so they had a lot to do, so they were not in a hurry. Fighting was not a matter of urgency.
In fact, Zhao Hai is waiting for news. He is waiting for news about those who are going to ambush people. As long as the equipment there is ready, Zhao Hai will attack here. If there is no ambush there, then Zhao Hai will not wait for a while.
Zhao Hai's slow movements made Tang Zhong confused. He didn't know why Zhao Hai was so slow. Their speed was too slow. This slow pace made them very uncomfortable.
For ten days, Zhao Hai and the others were making siege equipment. Now they have made a lot of siege equipment. It is said that they can attack normally. However, Zhao Hai is still not in a hurry, and still tells those people not to be anxious, and slowly
Just make siege equipment. However, Zhao Hai is not in a hurry, but it makes other generals of the anti-Holy Court Alliance anxious. They are here to deal with the Holy Court army, and now they see the Holy Court army not far in front of them.
Even though they were here, they were still making siege equipment every day, so how could they not be in a hurry.
Zhao Hai sat in the tent, looked at the general, smiled slightly and said: "It seems that everyone is in a hurry, haha, don't be in a hurry, take your time, we are actually waiting for time now, even though the other party said they would retreat here
, but this is not their rear. Their supply of food and grass must be more difficult than ours. Even if we drag it like this, it will still cause them a lot of headaches. But we don’t have to take it off for too long, because the slower we go,
, the enemy will be more confused. They don’t know what we want to do, whether we want to attack, or whether we want to send experts to their rear, so they will be hesitant, which is good for us.
, and don’t forget our previous plan.”
When everyone heard what Zhao Hai said, they immediately understood what Zhao Hai meant. They were all a little embarrassed. Zhao Hai glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Okay, everyone, go back and let the craftsmen do what I gave you before."
Their drawings are all completed well. If something goes wrong, I ask for you. Go and prepare. We will start the attack in a few days. Also, starting from tomorrow, everyone will leave the camp for me.
Drilling, I have discovered that you guys are too lazy to even drill when you are not attacking. You will take a walk with the old lady when you let me see the team of people practicing tomorrow. From now on, you will take care of the food and grass for me.
go."
When everyone heard what Zhao Hai said, they quickly responded. They knew very well that if they were really asked to guard the food and grass, then they would get no credit at all, and they did not dare to neglect.
After everyone left, Zhao Hai left Shi Chui alone and said in a deep voice: "Is everything ready over there?"
Shi Chui said in a deep voice: "Everything has been prepared. The large-scale camouflage formation and all the weapons are in place, just waiting for the attack. As long as they pass through that valley, they will not be able to escape."
Zhao Hai nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, give the order and prepare for three days. After three days, we will attack with all our strength. Also, let those few Wu Kong-level masters pass the word and say that we are preparing."
We sent a group of experts to their rear to attack Nanhua Gate, hoping to capture Nanhua Gate and surround them here. Moreover, this time we also invited Duanhe level experts to take action. Ten Duanhe level experts were dispatched at once.
, just say that.”
Shi Chui responded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I will make arrangements right away." After saying this, Shi Chui turned around and left.
In the next three days, Zhao Hai and his entire camp became lively. Everyone was gearing up to prepare for action. At the same time, all kinds of siege equipment were almost ready, waiting for the attack.
At this time, Tang Zhong had also received the news. He was stunned as soon as he received the news, and then his expression couldn't help but change. He knew very well that if Zhao Hai's plan was really carried out, it would really be
It is possible to send Duanhe level masters and Wukong level masters to sneak attack Nanhua Gate, and then use the teleportation array there to transport the troops to Nanhua Gate, then their retreat can be cut off. By that time,
If they had no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside, they would really be defeated. Thinking of this, Tang Zhong couldn't help but couldn't sit still. He immediately sent the news back to Shengzi, and at the same time, he was ready to withdraw.
, he planned to withdraw his troops immediately after several attacks against Zhao Hai. He could not continue to waste time with Zhao Hai here. It would not be of any benefit to them.
Three days later, Zhao Hai and the others were finally ready. The army got up early. After eating, they left the camp directly and began to line up. After lining up, Zhao Hai gave an order and the army slowly moved forward.
When the army was still outside the opponent's bed slaves, Zhao Hai was already prepared and pushed all the bed slaves on his side to the front. However, he stopped outside the range of the opponent's bed slaves and then adjusted his position.
At a certain angle, they started shooting at the camp of the Holy Court Army.
When the Holy Academy army saw this situation, they immediately used bed slaves to fight back. However, the problem with this counterattack came out. The range of Zhao Hai's bed slaves was farther than the range of the bed slaves they used. In other words, they could not hit Zhao Hai.
Hai and the others, but Zhao Hai and the others were able to shoot at them, which surprised the entire army of the Holy Court.
It didn't take long for Zhao Hai and the others to suppress the opponent's bed slaves, and then began to attack with the trebuchet. However, Zhao Hai and the others did not throw out all stones with the trebuchet.
Some of them are fire oil cans. As soon as these fire oil cans fall into the opponent's camp, they will explode immediately and ignite everything around them. The destructive power is very huge. It doesn't take long for the opponent's camp to be destroyed.
Almost all the bed slaves among them were on fire and could no longer be used.
