Zhan Ying is running away, and Qu Jiuyuan is also running away.
The symbolic significance of the Battle of Longmen is far greater than its military use.
Longmen is a huge stage. Beating the heavenly army here can greatly boost the morale of the Yumen Pass defenders and the people on earth.
The Battle of Dragon Gate has been going on for half a month, and in the last four days, it was Zhao Zian who saved face.
Now four days have passed, enough to boost the morale of the world, and enough for Zhao Zian to save the face he lost in the early stage.
Continuing to fight hard in Longmen and Longmen Mountain, just to die in battle, has no other meaning.
Zhao Zian didn't sleep a wink all night. He could only rest after the Zhenxi Army and the Red Feather Army stationed outside the pass safely retreated to Yumen Pass.
If they are unable to withdraw and the entire army is destroyed outside Yumen Pass, then the four days of persistence and hard fighting will be meaningless.
It would be easy for Zhan Ying to retreat. After all, the Southern Border Beast Riders ran very fast.
There are hundreds of thousands of infantrymen in Longmen and Longbei Mountain. It will be very difficult to withdraw them to Yumen Pass, which is eighty miles away.
This requires the cooperation of many parties.
Tonight, the Middle-earth Cavalry launched a military operation against the Storm Legion from the south, in order to contain the Storm Legion and attract the Phantom's attention.
The Pegasus Legion of the Heavenly Lady Kingdom also launched a surprise attack on the military camp of the Heavenly Realm army stationed outside Longmen around Zishi. In order to complete the successful retreat, Zhao Zian spent a lot of money, firing black fire bombs and
Jars of fire oil were thrown down from the sky by the Pegasus knights. There were constant explosions in the heavenly garrison camp, and the fire oil fueled the fire, causing a huge explosion.
The camp soon turned into a sea of flames.
However, the Pegasus troops were quickly intercepted by the Heavenly Six-Winged Legion, and the two sides started a melee in the air.
When the entire Tianjie camp was in chaos, the Renjian Zhenxi Army stationed in Longmen Ancient City and the Red Feather Army stationed in Longbei Mountain sneaked out of the defense line and ran to the east desperately.
Even if Zhao Zian is fully prepared, even if the Tianjie camp is in chaos, even if they retreat silently, it is absolutely impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to escape quietly from under the eyes of the Tianjie army.
When the Pegasus troops attacked the camp, Phantom immediately ordered the troops to assemble in order to prevent the trapped human soldiers in front of them from taking the opportunity to break out and escape.
A heavenly soldier rushed to the front of the phantom, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "As expected by the commander-in-chief, the enemy troops in Longmen and Longbei Mountain took advantage of the chaos of our army to break out of the defense line and retreat eastward.
.”
The corner of Phantom's mouth curled up, revealing a sneer, and said: "A distance of eighty miles, they want to run to Yumen Pass with their legs?
Following this commander's order, three thousand storm cavalry stationed fifty miles north of Longmen were immediately dispatched to intercept their path on a high slope forty miles ahead. The Skeleton Army, the Madman Army, and the Giant Army each dispatched twenty thousand troops to pursue them along the way.
kill.
The remaining soldiers do not need to put out the fire, but take supplies and immediately occupy Longmen and Longbei Mountain."
The military order was passed down, and the heavenly army immediately took action.
Now Longmen and Longbei Mountain are just two empty cities. Phantom never expected that she would use this method to take over these two military fortresses. She really thought that these human garrison troops would fight to the death with her until the last person died.
Woolen cloth.
It seems that I think highly of them.
Ants are just ants, so how can they have the will to fight to the death?
Zhan Ying had anticipated everything a few days ago.
Every step Qu Jiuyuan took was to strictly implement the strategies and tactics formulated for him by Zhan Ying.
Including tonight's retreat.
After escaping from the position, the Celestial Army to the north took action.
Qu Jiuyuan knew that the enemy had discovered the actions of his people.
He immediately used the sound transmission stone to shout loudly: "Move to the southeast direction of Tianying Pass! The Qujiuyuan Department of Zhenxi Army has come to meet us!"
As a result, hundreds of thousands of troops relied on their legs to forcefully change direction on the Gobi desert.
Phantom was now standing at the highest point of Longbei Mountain.
She finally stood here, overlooking everything around her.
Suddenly, a sergeant from Heaven came to report that the escaped human soldiers and the Red Feather Army did not run towards Yumen Pass, but fled towards Tianying Pass in the southeast.
This change temporarily broke out of the blocking encirclement of three thousand Storm Legions.
Phantom frowned and said: "They are retreating to Tianying Pass? Tianying Pass has a cliff of nearly 100 feet. Even if we get to Tianying Pass, it is impossible to let so many soldiers enter the pass in a short time! It is just a dead end!"
The soldier said: "According to the news that came here, I seem to have heard the defeated soldiers in the world saying that Qu Jiuyuan of the Zhenxi Army is in front to respond."
"What? The Qu Jiuyuan Department of the Zhenxi Army? Shouldn't they be in the north? How come they are in the southeast?"
Phantom was shocked.
She immediately spread out the map.
Several torches came over.
A heavenly general wearing silver armor said: "Commander, we have all been deceived! It turns out that Qu Jiuyuan's tribe is not in the north, but in the south! No wonder we haven't found any trace of them in more than half a month!"
Phantom was also a little dumbfounded. During this period, the areas searched by the six-winged scouts were all searching northward along Tianying Pass, because all fools knew that since Qu Jiuyuan left Tianying Pass, he would definitely go there.
The Longmen battlefield in the north is close, and it is impossible to march in the opposite direction.
.
The Zhenlong chess game set up by the "mysterious man" in the north made Phantom guess that the person he was fighting against this time was the descendant of Li Tielan in the human world.
The essence of the Zhenlong chess game lies in the deployment of a surprise force outside the chess game!
Phantom has always believed that Qu Jiuyuan was a surprise soldier arranged by the "mysterious man".
Phantom can almost conclude that Qu Jiuyuan must be hiding in a valley in the Tianshan Mountains east of the Zhenlong chess game, waiting for an opportunity.
Because Qu Jiuyuan was the mysterious figure who turned the tide of the Yingzui Cliff War ten years ago, Phantom has always suspected that it was not Zhao Shiqu who directed the Yingzui Cliff War, but the "mysterious man".
Qu Jiuyuan must have had close contact with that mysterious man.
But now, Qu Jiuyuan's tribe actually appeared in the south!
After all, Phantom still had some military tactics. She immediately thought that tonight might be a smoke bomb released by a mysterious person.
Now she dare not move back to the three thousand storm army that intercepted the defeated troops on the road through Yumen Pass. She always felt that if these hundreds of thousands of enemy troops wanted to withdraw into the pass, they could only go through Yumen Pass.
The method to verify whether Qu Jiuyuan's troops in the south is a smoke bomb is very simple, that is Zhenlong chess game.
If the Southern Border Beast Riders are still on the front line of Sand Dune City, then the Qu Jiuyuan tribe that appears south of Longmen at this moment must be fake.
If the Southern Border Beast Riders had run away, Phantom would probably vomit three kilograms of blood. She said: "Send an order to the main force of the army in the north to attack the Southern Border Beast Riders immediately!"
