At that moment, everyone began to fly towards Beiling City. Along the way, they saw countless civilians displaced. There were screams and calls for help everywhere, but no one could help them.
Two days later, they saw the marching troops of the Daewoo Empire. They were as dense as ants and numbered at least two hundred thousand. It was obvious that their goal was Beiling City.
Ji Xian was worried about the safety of Beiling City, so he fed many pills to the flying monsters along the way to increase their speed to the fastest possible speed.
On the evening of the next day, they finally arrived outside Beiling City. The military camps of the Dayu Empire stretched for dozens of miles. They were white like a white ocean. In terms of number, they numbered at least hundreds of thousands.
Ji Xian and others looked extremely sad. He clearly remembered that there were only 70,000 troops stationed in Beiling City. If the Daewoo Empire fully attacked the city, they could only last for half a month at most.
Moreover, this is still under the premise of rigid defense.
In order to prevent people from the Daewoo Empire from discovering it, Ji Xian and others chose to enter the city from the air only after night.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack, quick, attack with thunder arrows!"
"Everyone is in position, attack immediately!"
"Don't panic, everyone, follow my orders, aim at the enemy, and prepare to launch!"
On the city wall, the officers of the Daqian Empire discovered Tang Li and others, and immediately ordered the soldiers to aim arrows as thick as your arms.
The thunder arrow is a weapon of war. Even a strong man above the fifth level of the Wuji Realm will be killed on the spot after being shot.
At this time, Ji Xian took out a golden token and crushed it, and suddenly a golden dragon shadow appeared.
"It's His Royal Highness! Don't shoot your arrows!"
"Stop it! Stop attacking!"
The officer guarding the city recognized this dragon shadow. In the Daqian Empire, only princes could own it.
Soon, Tang Li and others landed on the top of the wall.
"Join Your Highness!"
Everyone knelt down one after another, and the leading officer hurriedly came to Ji Xian.
"Where is General Zhang Yu? Take this prince to see him quickly!"
Ji Xian shouted.
"General Zhang is in a meeting."
The leading officer immediately led the way.
Soon, everyone came to a hall, where a dozen generals were wearing battle armor and studying a military map.
"The fourth prince has arrived!"
Someone saw Ji Xian walking in and shouted loudly.
"I have met His Highness!"
All the generals came to salute in front of Ji Xian. Standing at the first place was a middle-aged man with a heavy back and a scar on his face. He was none other than the supreme commander here, Zhang Yu.
"You don't have to be polite."
Ji Xian waved his hand, quite like a king.
"Your Highness, it's very dangerous here. Why are you here?"
Zhang Yu's expression changed slightly and he asked Ji Xian how noble his status was. If something happened here, his sin would be huge.
Ji Xian waved his hand and said: "General Zhang, don't worry about this for now. I want to ask General Zhang why the Daewoo Empire suddenly gathered so many people to invade. Didn't we find anything before this? Also, the war started
It's been so long, how come our empire doesn't have reinforcements?"
"It seems that the third prince did not pay attention to the war during this period." Zhang Yu sighed, and then continued: "We did not collect information about the Daewoo Empire. This is indeed a failure of our empire's intelligence department. I heard that the Daewoo Empire
, in order to launch this raid, they have been preparing for three years. The reason why they suddenly showed up with millions of troops here is because in three years
Before, they had begun to assemble their soldiers into civilians, successfully hiding it from us. As for the reinforcements... The third prince probably didn't know that a month ago, the Moon Worshiping Empire declared war on our Daqian Empire.
Their troops attacked the border cities of our empire like crazy. Just when the troops nearby were mobilized for support, the Daewoo Empire launched a war."
"Damn it!"
Ji Xian gritted his teeth. It could be seen from this that the Daewoo Empire and the Moon Worshiping Empire should have started planning this war a long time ago.
"Then what are the general's next plans?"
Ji Xian took a deep breath and asked. Although he is the prince, the command here still belongs to Zhang Yu.
"I was discussing this matter with the generals just now, and we unanimously decided to withdraw from Beiling City and return to Longkou City for defense."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and then answered.
"What! Retreat!" Ji Xian suddenly became furious: "There are nearly four million people in this city. If you retreat, what will they do?"
"Your Highness! There is nothing the general can do. There are only 100,000 troops in Beiling City now, but the Daewoo Empire has gathered more than one million people! If they attack the city with all their strength, we may not even be able to hold on for ten days.
Can't hold back! What's more, the walls of Longkou City behind us are strong, and there are 100,000 troops stationed there. In addition, there are tens of millions of people in the city. No matter what considerations we have, we must retreat."
Zhang Yu said in a very embarrassed tone.
"No, I don't agree! The duty of our soldiers is to defend our country and protect our people!"
Ji Xian waved his hand and said without thinking.
"Your Highness, please listen to the last words. The generals and I also want to stay and fight the enemy to the end, and live and die with Longkou City. But if we all die, Longkou City will definitely not be able to hold it. By then, we will die.
It’s not just people like Beiling City! What’s more, you should know how important the geographical location of Longkou City is. If it is lost, our Daqian Empire will lose all initiative in the southwest region in the future.
!”
Zhang Yu gritted his teeth. He made this decision with great determination.
"Then buy time! Beiling City can be lost, but the people here must be safely transferred!"
After Ji Xian thought for a while, he also made a concession.
"There are people from the Daewoo Empire everywhere outside. It is not easy to transfer four million people. It will not take half a month. It is impossible. By then, all our people will have died in the battle."
Zhang Yu said.
As soon as he said this, Ji Xian glanced at Tang Li, then gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Then launch a holy war! Launch a holy war in the name of this prince!"
Everyone looked at Ji Xian, and Zhang Yu said: "Your Highness, you must not do this. We are the ones defending the city. If we lose, all of our officers and soldiers, including you, Your Highness, will die! Our humble bodies
, Death is not a pity, but Your Highness, you are a prince, and your status is so noble. If something unexpected happens, then we will become sinners through the ages!"
"In front of life, everyone is equal. If you are willing, then what does my life mean?"
