The roaring sound like a mountain roaring and a tsunami continued continuously.
In order to prevent Cheng Mu from leading his army to rescue Li Cunxiao, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and others stayed here.
The newly recruited Jinwu Guard Army and Longwu Army are using their lives to build city walls to slow down Cheng Mu's advance.
But soon, a piece of bad news reached Yuwucheng.
Li Jing and Xue Rengui were defeated and fled, and the Shenwu Army and the Xue Family Army were wiped out.
Such bad news disturbed Li Ji's mind that night.
Looking at most of his soldiers who had died in the battle, Li Ji also had the idea of retreating at this moment.
So, he ordered people to invite Cheng Yaojin, Wang Xuance and others.
Whether to fight to the death or avoid the edge temporarily, he had to ask everyone for their opinions.
"Old Li, save your strength for the time being!"
Cheng Yaojin had been in prison for so long, and he had thought it through.
If you want to avenge your crime and wash away your shame, you must recognize the strength gap between the two sides.
To be able to block the emperor of the Apocalypse Empire for so long, they have tried their best!
Fighting again will only increase casualties.
"What Duke Cheng Guo said makes sense."
Wang Xuance also nodded and said: "Several armies have entered the Apocalypse Empire from the east and west. There is no need for us to waste time here."
Cheng Mu led nearly 20 million troops in this battle. Naturally, it is impossible for such a large army to all garrison troops here.
The Beifu Army led by Xie Xuan, combined with Chen Liansheng's Qingzhou Army, Lei Dun's Shawang Army, and Nieba's Ba Dao, formed an army of four million people and set out from the west.
The blade points directly at the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty!
Wei Xiaobao led another Qingzhou Army, and together with the ruthless Sword Soul Army, set off from the east road.
Their target is the Anton Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, Zheng Zhilong's Shark Pirates, Guan Tianpei's Nanyang Fleet, and Shen Baozhen's Guangdong Fleet will also work with them to assist each other in combat.
The Andong Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty was a coastal place. Historically, places such as Goguryeo and Silla were under the jurisdiction of the Andong Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.
The army in the middle was led by Cheng Mu himself.
Guan Hai's Apocalypse Army, Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Army, Di Ri's Yaman Army, the Divine Sword Army led by the Sword Bearer, and Dongfang Nuo's Mo Shuang Army.
Five armies, more than five million soldiers.
They are the main force in this frontal battlefield. And Cheng Mu's target is the Anbei Protectorate.
Anxi, Anbei, Anton.
The three armies advanced together, and Cheng Mu wanted to bulldoze the entire Tang Empire with an invincible attitude.
No matter how small it is, he will never give it up!
"Then withdraw the troops!"
After receiving replies from Cheng Yaojin and Wang Xuance about withdrawing their troops, Li Ji immediately issued a withdrawal order.
Yes.
If he continues to waste time here, he is worried that the enemy will come from behind! By then, Li Ji's life may not be guaranteed!
For an empire, as long as their generals do not die, there is still a chance for the next battle!
...
A hundred miles away from the city, there is the Apocalypse Legion military camp and the royal tent.
Seeing the latest news from the Hidden Dragon Messenger, a smile suddenly appeared on Cheng Mu's face.
"Haha! Okay! You are indeed a filial piety!"
Being able to survive the joint attack of Li Jing and Xue Rengui, two powerful men from the back realm of Shenmen, is really exciting news.
And not only that, Li Cunxiao not only survived, but his strength was also comparable to that of a powerful person in the Shentai realm.
What is this? This is another layer of trump cards in Cheng Mu's mind.
At the beginning, Cheng Mu was worried about Li Shimin. After all, with the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was strong enough to step onto the altar.
What he wanted at that time was to gather all the power of the military soul and the power of the strongest man to surround and kill Li Shimin.
But now, it's no longer needed.
Li Cunxiao alone is enough to resist them all!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
All the ministers under his command saluted and congratulated one after another. Li Cunxiao's strength has soared, which is also good news for them.
The stronger your teammates are, the more stable they are!
But it would be very difficult to compete for the later meritorious deeds!
"His Majesty."
At this time, Guo Jia below reminded him: "Since the enemies who encircled and suppressed Cunxiao have been wiped out, Li Ji and others in Yuwu City will probably retreat!"
I have already received the news. How could Li Ji and others, who are from the Tang Dynasty, not know?
Baiqisi of the Tang Dynasty was the most secretive and powerful espionage agency under Li Shimin.
For a long time, people have only heard the name of Baiqisi, but they have never seen the form of Baiqisi!
This intelligence agent hiding in the darkness is gathering everything that happened in Datang into Li Shimin's hands bit by bit.
This is also the reason why Li Shimin was able to verify 90% of Tianqi Hidden Dragon personnel in the first place.
This seemingly enlightened and enthusiastic Tang Empire was actually under the control of Li Shimin!
"What Fengxiao said is absolutely true!"
Guo Jia's words reminded Cheng Mu, who came back from his joy and ordered: "Guan Aiqing, I ordered the army to conquer Yuwu City!"
"It's like the enemy troops are in retreat and their corpses are floating thousands of miles away!"
Now every time a soldier of the Tang Empire is killed, a piece of the Tang Dynasty's national fortune can be reduced.
Therefore, since the war started, Cheng Mu has not been merciful. Even if he is a prisoner, he rarely surrenders.
Now, the most important thing is to do everything possible to reduce the strength of the Tang Empire.
Want to bulldoze the huge Tang Empire? This is still a bit difficult for Cheng Mu!
"Wei Chen takes orders!"
Guan Hai knelt down excitedly and thanked him.
In the battles of the past few days, Di Ri's Yaman army and the ruthless Sword Soul army had already killed the enemy.
In addition, Li Cunxiao won the top spot! As the Minister of War, Guan Hai was naturally a little anxious.
As the boss of many military generals, the Minister of War, if he, Guan Hai, cannot achieve results, it will be shameful to spread the word.
"Go for it!"
Cheng Mu waved his hand. Time was pressing and Guan Hai needed to make a quick decision.
Although Li Cunxiao annihilated one million Shenwu troops and one million Xue Jiajun, the harvest would not be perfect without the strongest.
Therefore, he must work hard to supervise. At least one of Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, and Wang Xuance must stay here.
Only in this way will Li Shimin feel distressed!
...
Yuwucheng.
The south gate of the city opened secretly with a creak.
In order to evacuate safely, Li Ji did not hesitate to put all the torches on the city wall.
Under the light of the fire, countless straw men wearing iron helmets leaned on the city wall and acted like soldiers standing guard.
In the dim night, even the sentry with the best eyesight cannot distinguish it immediately.
"A man has a title, and a horse has his hooves bound!"
Li Ji ordered in a low voice. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he was so embarrassed.
The last time a man had a title and a horse bound his hooves, he led his army to attack the enemy camp at night.
But now, the sneaky retreat is really a bit miserable.
"Don't be discouraged, everyone. We are only retreating temporarily. We will fight to the death with the enemy after arriving at the Anbei Protectorate!"
Cheng Yaojin was trying to stabilize the morale of the army. He believed that an overnight retreat would cause dissatisfaction among his soldiers.
Running away in despair is not Jinwuwei's style.
However, he had just finished speaking.
"Pfft."
In the crowd, someone didn't know who laughed.
These soldiers were neither dissatisfied nor demoralized. On the contrary, retreat was exactly what they wanted.
After nearly 50% of the companions around him died in the battle, no one wanted to die here anymore.
If you withdraw to the Anbei Protectorate, you can live longer.
Only when death truly comes can we see who is the true warrior.
Most people are afraid of death anyway!
"Kill!"
"The first one to attack Yuwu City will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins and promoted to level three!"
"Commanders of the Tianxiong Army, follow me to kill the enemy!"
At this time, a shout of murder suddenly came from the direction of the north gate of Yuwu City.
The deafening sound caused the expressions of Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and others to change greatly.
"How did it come so fast?"
Cheng Yaojin had a look of disbelief on his face: "It was only this evening that Jin ordered us to withdraw our troops. Is it possible that these soldiers are made of iron?"
Everyone has been fighting hard all day.
Although the battles in the past few days did not involve the most powerful people, it was still a lot of work and life for the soldiers under his command.
They came to attack at night without rest. Are all the soldiers of the Apocalypse Empire so brave?
Guan Hai's Apocalypse Legion did not participate in the war these days, but on the chaotic battlefield, who could tell the difference so clearly?
"Go! Go!"
By this time Li Ji had already reacted.
This is not a night attack, this is clearly to catch them.
Someone under Cheng Mu's command guessed that they were going to retreat tonight!
"Go quickly! Go quickly!"
"The horseman, take me with you! Take me with you!"
"Brothers, run!"
........
The deafening shouts of killing made everyone present nervous. Some people thought of Pao Ze who died in the battle during the day, and his miserable appearance made him extremely frightened.
As a result, some people dropped their weapons, turned around and ran away!
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
The sound of despair spread in the dark night, and more and more people were affected.
When they learned that the pursuers of the Apocalypse Empire were behind them, more and more people chose to flee.
In the darkness, everyone has no direction.
If you are lucky enough to survive, you will survive.
"Steady! Steady, don't mess up!"
Seeing his soldiers begin to flee, Li Ji's expression changed drastically.
If he keeps escaping like this, his Longwu Army will really be scattered!
"Those who dare to run away will die!"
At the critical moment, Cheng Yaojin killed both of them with one axe.
At this time, he no longer distinguishes who is the Jinwu Guard under his command. Anyone who escapes will become a dead soul under his axe!
"Brothers! Don't mess up! The enemy is still far away, this is a tactic of doubting soldiers! A tactic of doubting soldiers!"
At the same time as Cheng Yaojin took action, Wang Xuance's voice also covered the entire area.
The more you kill, the more chaos there will be!
Only the general's voice is the strongest reassurance for the soldiers!
"It's General Xuance!"
"Brothers, don't mess up. The enemy hasn't come yet, not yet!"
"His grandma scared me to death. Just now Cheng Guogong's ax was less than half a foot away from me. Fortunately, my legs were too weak to move! Otherwise, I would have been dead!"
"Brothers, everyone obey the command, the generals will protect us!"
Wang Xuance's words calmed everyone's minds.
Many people had picked up their weapons again and began to retreat in an orderly manner.
Some people are even determined to be queens for their brothers.
Among millions of people, there are actually not a few who are fearless and brave.
But at this moment, a group of cavalry came galloping from behind.
Zhao Yun took the lead, killing each other with one shot and one man.
"Apocalypse Zhao Zilong is here, who dares to escape?!"
