Chapter 1061 - Zhou Yu, Pioneer Officer of the Magic Army
At the Honghua Pavilion eighty miles away in front of the Youshou Pass formation, Zhou Yu personally led his 200,000 troops plus 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry under Yizhixie's command to form the vanguard of the crusade.
As the vanguard of the entire demon army, they advanced to Youshou Pass first, hoping to gain the first victory in the early stages of the war.
"A total of 300,000 troops. Thinking about how heroic I was back then, I had never commanded such a large army. Thinking about it now, it really feels like a dream."
"The Governor was born at the wrong time. If he had joined Cao Ziying, he would have enjoyed this honor long ago."
"General Yi is joking. The traitor Cao is actually a traitor to the country. He is still the same now and in the past. How can I devote myself to him?"
In the Honghua Pavilion, Zhou Yu and Yi Zhi were sitting sideways drinking tea together.
This time, Chonglou appointed Zhou Yu as the main vanguard and Yi Zhixie as the deputy vanguard. They commanded an army of 300,000 souls to attack Youshou Pass first.
Although Chonglou valued the two of them and entrusted them with important tasks, Zhou Yu and Yi Zhixie were not stupid.
They knew exactly who was stationed in the city in front!
They are the regular army of the underworld, and there are also several kings of hell sitting in charge. They are not something that minions like them can despise.
However, he carried Zhonglou's military order on his back, and he did not dare to disobey it, so they sat down together to enjoy tea.
"Grand Governor, according to the information sent back by Detective Ma, Pluto has appointed the saint Lin Xiaoyun to supervise Youshou Pass this time, and she is accompanied by King Qin Guang and others. I am afraid this battle will not be that easy to fight."
Yi Zhixie spoke beautifully in the scene. While giving Zhou Yu face, she also did not forget to test his tone.
If Zhou Yu then issues a death order to let his Xiongnu army be the main attacker, it doesn't matter whether they attack or not. If Zhou Yu loses the first battle, and Zhou Yu blames him again, it will be really hard to argue.
"General Yi is overly worried. King Qin Guang's status is so noble. He doesn't necessarily have to fight in person, right?"
Zhou Yu played with the tea cup and joked with a smile: "As for the saint Lin Xiaoyun, I have an indissoluble bond with her. When the city is destroyed, I will ask General Yi to show mercy."
"Listening to what the Grand Governor said, do you think we will definitely win this battle?"
Yi Zhixie suddenly became interested!
Everyone knows that Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin are both quick and smart, so it wouldn't be surprising if he really has a clever trick.
"This is a sure thing, but it's hard to say whether you and I can see it!"
"What do you think the Governor said?"
Yi Zhi couldn't sit still, so he scratched his head and scratched his head impatiently and stood up to face Zhou Yu.
"The Governor-General says what you have to say, don't hide it!"
"this..."
Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, looked around with his small eyes, and then said seriously: "Can General Yi be trusted?"
"Of course it's credible. You and I have been running together in the world for so long. Don't you still know who I am?"
"That's good!"
Zhou Yu got the answer he wanted, so he stopped hiding it.
He stood up and stepped back to the left and right, and moved a little closer to Yi Zhixie.
"The elites from the demon world gathered by Demon Lord this time are probably unbeatable. It will be a matter of time before Fengdu City is captured, but..."
Zhou Yu looked around and after confirming that there was no one else around, he continued to lean closer to his ear.
"General Yi also knows that Youshou Pass is not easy to fight. If we forcefully attack the 300,000 troops you and I brought, I am afraid that the whole army may be annihilated."
"But if we don't attack by force, how can the Demon Lord explain it? Didn't he just want to test the strength of the underworld when he sent you and me this time?" Yi Zhi said anxiously.
"This is where the trouble lies!"
Zhou Yu took a deep breath and walked: "It is true that the Demon Lord wants to start a war with the underworld, but he is not sure about the strength of the underworld, so he wants you and me to act as stepping stones to test how deep the water is."
"That's why we ordered you and me to lead the army here, but we didn't send the War Spear Battalion or the Warcraft Battalion to help."
"I'm afraid that even if you and I try to annihilate our whole army, he won't show any mercy."
"Is there anything else?"
Zhou Yu's words immediately stunned Yi Zhixie!
He only knew that Chonglou sent them here to stand in front of the large army, but he had not thought that there were so many twists and turns.
"No wonder people say that the Governor is full of talents. Today I know that this statement is true."
Yi Zhixie's expression was solemn, and he immediately held up his hands and said: "Captain, please speak frankly about what we should do in this battle. I don't want my son of the Huns to be buried here in vain."
"Gifts must still be given. If you don't want to let go of your children, you won't be able to trap the wolf. I think General Yi must also understand. It's just a matter of giving more and less. We can discuss it."
Zhou Yu has been in the world for thousands of years, and now he has finally regained control of an army of 200,000 tigers and wolves. How could he be willing to be just a flash in the pan?
But since Yi Zhixie is traveling with him, there is absolutely no need to let him die along with his troops.
Once Chonglou is investigated, the blame will not fall on him.
Zhou Yu is a smart man, he would not do such stupid things.
"The Grand Governor said bluntly that as long as I can protect my sons as much as possible, I am willing to obey the Grand Governor's orders." Yi Zhixie solemnly expressed his position.
"Okay, what I want is General Yi's words!"
Zhou Yu was overjoyed when he heard this. It was obvious that Yi Zhixie and he were from the same group.ъìＱυＧΕtＶ.℃ǒΜ
So Zhou Yudang held his shoulders and excitedly pointed to Youshou Pass not far away.
"General Yi, please see, there are mountains on both sides of Youshou Pass, and the open space in front of the pass is limited. Our 300,000 troops certainly cannot spread out at once."
"What I mean is to divide your army and mine into ten to twenty siege teams, and take turns to attack when the underworld army's defense is lax."
"The first two rounds have to be fought to the death. I expect that the Demon Lord will send someone to monitor not far away. This will also give him the opportunity to go back and report the battle situation."
"We will be able to exercise some restraint later. The louder the thunder, the smaller the rain. I think General Yi should know what to do."
"We just need to wait until the follow-up army arrives, or when the army inside the pass attacks, we will retreat."
"In this way, you and I can save most of our troops, and we can also maintain the reputation of fighting to the death with the Demon Lord. Why not do it."
In fact, when Chonglou sent Zhou Yu to Youshou Pass, he had already thought of a way to deal with it.
The only thing to blame is that the unarmed life in the world was so miserable that now he had to find a way to keep his men alive.
"Alas, this is all we can do now!" Yi Zhixie sighed helplessly.
After hearing Zhou Yu's suggestion, Yi Zhixie couldn't think of any better way and could only follow it.
Like Zhou Yu, he had devolved power for too long, and now he was suddenly back in charge of the army. It was absolutely impossible for him to go back to his old days.
