"Hmph, what tricks can't Han Sanqian pull off? Today alone is just a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. What's the difficulty if he just steals the dragon and turns the dragon into a phoenix?"
After the elder finished speaking, before his subordinates could speak, the spy had already answered: "It is said that when the city defense was about to be broken, the enemy deliberately told the defenders the truth. The defenders on the front did not move, but they also took advantage of the distance.
With this advantage, the real person was secretly replaced by a scarecrow."
"As for their real men, they took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the two city defenses where the army had left and launched attacks."
"Because the incident happened suddenly, our position was in chaos. Especially after knowing that the opponent was the main force to attack, we completely lost our position. That's why..."
The elder laughed angrily: "Did you hear everything?"
The group of people were silent collectively, but their hearts were already in turmoil.
It turns out that the city defense in Yetian City was manipulated by someone to lure the tiger away from the mountain and steal the dragon and turn it into a phoenix. It can be said that it is not a plan at every step, but it is scary at every turn.
Who would have thought that the other party, who seemed determined to break through, was actually playing tricks behind his back?!
"It's ridiculous to think about it. We promised to fortify everything and make it flawless, but what will happen in the end? The city defenses we obtained didn't last even a single day and then were returned to the enemy's hands obediently."
The elder seemed to be criticizing them, but also seemed to be mocking himself.
The subordinates and cronies all lowered their heads, and no one dared to say a word.
Facts speak louder than any eloquence. If Han Sanqian wins, he or she will win. If their city defense is lost, it will be lost.
"Someone is coming!"
"exist!"
"Order the troops in Yetian City to immediately abandon the last city defense and return to the main force."
"But elder... we had a hard time..."
Although there is only one city defense left, and there is a certain degree of danger, it is still difficult to get into Yetian City. It can help them send troops to attack Han Sanqian at any time, which is almost the most important point strategically.
Now, at least the troops there are united, so defeat is naturally unlikely, but retreating like this, almost giving things to the enemy, is a bit unwilling.
"It doesn't make much sense to keep a soldier in place. It's equivalent to making a bad tooth in the tiger's mouth. Do you think Han Sanqian won't pull it out? Withdrawing it as soon as possible to recover some losses is the right solution." After saying this, the elder sighed.
Take a breath.
Does he want to withdraw?
Obviously not!
But what other ways are there?
The facts are already in front of us, and it is useless to say more.
Rather than being beaten then, it is better to withdraw now.
"yes."
"As for the large army, starting from today, we will temporarily retreat ten miles."
"What? Retreat ten miles temporarily?"
"Elder, how is this possible?"
"Yes, our army has not been defeated, how can we retreat?"
If the previous decision to withdraw from Yetian City was somewhat unacceptable but understandable, then the subsequent decision to withdraw a large force was simply difficult to fathom and unacceptable.
Although the troops suffered some defeats, they actually did not suffer much losses at all.
Ninety percent of the strength of the large army is still there, and they can fight at any time. How could they retreat?!
Seeing everyone in panic, the elder was a little dissatisfied: "What? You can't hear my order? Are you all deaf?"
A group of people did not dare to disobey, so they had no choice but to obey.
"Everything has to start over. I said that when fighting Han Sanqian, we must not fall into his rhythm. If we continue to fight, we will definitely be eaten up bit by bit, and we will not even have any bones left in the end.
There’s nothing left.”
"Retreating does not mean the end of the battle, but it should be said that the first battle is temporarily put on hold. What we have to do is the second phase of the attack."
His subordinates and close confidants nodded.
"The Ant-Man issue must be resolved after the troops are withdrawn. Their threat is not very strong, but they are always annoying after all. Since the bones of the cavalry regiment are difficult to chew, let's let them go. Let's eat the ants first.
."
"At the same time, we should also give those people who are trying to help Han Sanqian some color to see what kind of price they have to pay for helping them."
"Pass my order. All troops must evacuate ten miles away before dawn. Tomorrow, we will be prepared but not ready to fight!"
"yes!"
The subordinates had just understood a little bit, but they were a little confused because they were not prepared for tomorrow but did not fight.
Didn’t you say that the temporary withdrawal of troops was to reorganize a new attack? Why don’t you just stop fighting tomorrow?!
The elder slowly raised his hand, and a confidant quickly walked over. Then, he gave a few instructions in the confidant's ear.
After hearing this, the man's confused face suddenly showed joy: "Elder, you are still wise..."
