Niangziguan was thwarted across the board, which had a huge impact on the human war situation.
It's good now that the Demon Sect has escaped, and so has the Tianshan Piaomiao Pavilion group.
All the cultivators have fled. How can an army of tens of millions of mortals led by Zhao Zian alone resist the tiger and wolf army in the heavens?
However, he is only the commander of Yumen Pass and cannot mobilize the monks in the world of cultivation.
The first line of defense at Yumen Pass has not yet been breached by the phantom.
Behind the Yumenguan defense line, there are two natural chasms, Motian Cliff and Motian Ridge.
Even if the imperial court does not send more troops to Yumen Pass, Zhao Zian is confident that he will hold on for two or three years.
Now, the killing machine that mankind has prepared for many years has not yet come into use, but Zhao Zian has to consider taking the initiative to give up the Yumen Pass defense line.
After Zhao Zian lost his temper in the command post at the forward position, Qu Jiuyuan bravely said: "Young Commander, it is a foregone conclusion that Niangzi Pass will be breached. In ten days and a half at most, the third line of defense at Niangzi Pass will collapse.
.
If Niangzi Pass is lost, our flanks will not be protected. The Tianjie Middle Army can attack the capital to the east and our flanks to the west.
Now that the cultivation world has withdrawn across the board, we can no longer stick here. Thirty million soldiers, war supplies, and a huge number of civilians and reserve troops cannot be transferred in a day or two."
Almost all of the most elite troops in the world are at Yumen Pass.
The army in Zhao Zian's hands cannot be completely wiped out, otherwise the world will not even have a chance to fight back in the future.
Zhao Zian also knew this.
But he was not willing to give up the impregnable line of defense at Yumenguan.
After Qu Jiuyuan spoke, many generals and staff expressed their thoughts.
Some people think that we should defend Yumen Pass, while others think that we should prepare a retreat to preserve our strength for future counterattacks.
The two sides began to argue fiercely.
Zhao Zian's head is a few times bigger.
He shouted: "Don't argue anymore. We are not at the end of the road yet. You go out first and let me be alone."
The generals did not dare to say any more and left one after another.
Suddenly, Zhao Zian said: "Shuai Qu is staying."
Soon, Zhao Zian and Qu Jiuyuan were left in the war room.
Zhao Zian sat on the chair tiredly and looked at the map in front of him.
Said: "Qu Datou, there are no outsiders here, let's talk about it."
Qu Jiuyuan said: "Young Marshal, what do you want me to say?"
Zhao Zian's eyes flashed and he said: "You are a fierce general who charges into battle, but you are not a general. As the coach of Yumenguan, I naturally know some secrets.
You and Zhan Ying have known each other more than ten years ago. It was you who turned the tide in the Battle of Yingzui Cliff, but behind you, Zhan Ying was directing everything, including last year's Battle of Dragon Gate.
Did Zhan Ying say something to you secretly?
Although I and Zhan Ying belong to different battlefields, I admire Zhan Ying's combat ideas. What does he want you to say to me?"
Qu Jiuyuan stopped pretending.
He said: "Brother Zhan Ying did contact me. What he meant was that once Niangzi Pass is breached, Yumen Pass will become useless.
If we continue to hold on to Yumen Pass, we will be in danger of being annihilated.
For today’s plan, we should retain our strength for future events.”
Zhao Zian's expression was indifferent, he spread out the map and said, "Tell me what Zhan Ying thinks."
Qu Jiuyuan picked up a wooden stick and began to tell Zhao Zian about Zhan Ying's combat intentions.
Said: "Brother Zhan Ying means that after Niangzi Pass was broken, we only left a small number of troops to garrison Yumen Pass, and the main force retreated southward along the foot of Tianshan Mountain. A new defensive front was formed along the Kunlun Pass.
We only need to deploy no more than five million troops at the Kunlun Pass. The main force of the army will continue to move southward, moving eastward from between Kunlun Mountain and Qilin Mountain.
The final decisive battle must be at Cangyun Mountain.
In the future, all human forces will surround Cangyun Mountain to fight this battle."
Although Zhan Ying and Zhao Zian are of the same rank, they are both marching generals.
However, Zhao Zian is famous all over the world and has a large number of troops, while Zhan Ying is just an unknown person who suddenly rose up.
If Zhan Ying directly sent a message to Zhao Zian and asked Zhao Zian to give up stationing at Yumen Pass, Zhao Zian would definitely be disgusted.
Therefore, he used his good brother Qu Jiuyuan to convey his opinions to Zhao Zian.
Zhan Ying is a commander who has an overall view of the situation. He only has victory or defeat in his mind and nothing else.
In order to achieve the final victory, he could give up most of the Middle Earth to the heaven.
As for how many innocent people would die, he didn't care.
Cold-blooded, ruthless, calm, and not troubled by emotions, this is the qualified commander.
In comparison, Zhao Zian is more emotional and easily swayed by emotions.
Zhao Zian fell into deep thought after listening to Qu Jiuyuan's introduction.
He had also deduced in advance the situation that Yumen Pass would face once Niangzi Pass was breached.
There are only two ways.
One is to defend Yumen Pass and fight the enemy to the last man.
Second, retreat.
Retreating is easier said than done.
The march of tens of millions of troops is a terrible thing.
If each soldier consumes one kilogram of grain per day, tens of millions of kilograms of grain will be consumed every day.
Behind Yumen Pass, grain and fodder are piled up like a mountain. It is not just one mountain, but thousands of mountains.
There is not only food and grass, but also a large amount of military supplies.
Not to mention civilians carrying it, even if cultivators help transport it, tens of thousands of cultivators are needed to transport these grains and supplies.
Moreover, Yumen Pass is the last line of defense in the hearts of the people of China. Once Yumen Pass is lost, the morale of the people of China will be greatly reduced.
Zhao Zian will not give up guarding Yumen Pass easily until the end.
However, under the current situation, if we do not choose to retreat decisively, the tens of millions of elite troops at Yumen Pass will most likely be attacked by things from the heavens.
After a while, Zhao Zian pointed his finger on the map.
He said: "What Zhan Ying means is that after our troops retreat south, we will build a defense line near the Kunlun Pass to block the Tianjie Army.
As far as I know, in the catastrophe 6,000 years ago, tens of millions of human troops died there, and it was ineffective to stop the heavenly legions at the Kunlun Pass."
Qu Jiuyuan said: "Brother Zhan Ying said that the Kunlun Pass is very important. Only by retreating to the Kunlun Pass can we completely escape the danger of being attacked from both sides by the Celestial Legion.
Moreover, the Kunlun Pass is the entrance to the Kunlun Mountains, and only by guarding this place can the entire war situation be reversed."
Zhao Zian hummed: "In terms of danger, the Kunlun Pass is far inferior to the Yumen Pass defense line.
Moreover, not many military facilities were built at Kunlun Pass.
How easy is it to defend this place?" Qu Jiuyuan said: "Brother Zhan Ying said that he has a secret weapon in his hand that can help us defend the Kunlun Pass. Moreover, Gui Xuanzong will also start a battle with the Six Tribes of Heaven and Humanity at the Kunlun Pass. Let us
