Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 149 Qianyuan is not dead, vow not to be a demon

The death of Hu Qiu became the trigger for the defeat of the Fox Demon Army.

Without a leader, the already chaotic fox demon army became a meal for the human army. Under the command of Xue Rengui, they were harvested calmly and efficiently.

When the sky is completely clear, the battle is basically over, and the rest is sporadic strangulation.

The prestigious Zhigu camp has been completely reduced to ruins at this moment, corpses are everywhere, blue smoke is billowing, and the granary is still billowing black smoke, giving the Yaozu a taste of the destruction of their homes.

Of the four thousand demon fox troops stationed here, not one out of ten survived.

In the chaos, many monster warriors escaped from the Jigu camp and disappeared into the wilderness in embarrassment. Xue Rengui saw the opportunity and immediately dispatched the newly formed wolf cavalry from the second brigade to pursue them.

It's just that this is the Qingqiu country after all, and it is inevitable that some fish slip through the net.

Taking advantage of the time when the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, Xue Rengui, Guo Jia, Fifth Ziyue and other generals gathered together to discuss the next move.

After the destruction of the Jimu camp, the only remaining formations of the Fox Demon Army were Manniu Pass and Hulao Pass, each with [-] troops stationed there, which should not be underestimated.

The expeditionary army has just gone through a tough encirclement and suppression battle, and there are many casualties in itself. It is basically impossible to divide the troops into two groups.

Moreover, because some monster warriors escaped from the Jigu camp, by the time the army set off, the two fox demon armies must have been informed and prepared.

The chance of a sneak attack is slim.

For the current plan, we can only choose one of them, concentrate our forces, and kill it.

"I suggest attacking Hulao Pass." Zhou Qing was the first to express his attitude, "Once our army occupies Hulao Pass, it will be able to echo with the Nanguan camp guarded by His Highness and become the horns of each other."

Zhou Qing's reason is really untenable.

After all, Qingqiu Mansion is only such a big territory, and there is no way to go back from any pass, and they can all support each other with the Nanguan Camp, and the farthest is only a day or two away.

Zhou Qing was actually worried that Zhennan Pass would not be able to defend, and that was his hard work.

"I suggest attacking the Manniu Pass." Yue Yun was not as worried as Zhou Qing, he just analyzed it from another angle, "The Manniu Pass has not yet been completed, and the three thousand fox demon troops are stationed outside the pass. There is no danger for us to defend. Army attack, will be able to achieve the greatest results with the least casualties."

The implication is that storming Hulao Pass is really not a wise choice.

Xue Rengui nodded indistinctly.

He is also a young general. After two comparisons, Yue Yun's vision is undoubtedly a little higher. Unlike Zhou Qing, he still sticks to the old tactics and cares too much about the gains and losses of one city and one place.

Xue Rengui was about to speak in favor of Yue Yun's proposal when Guo Jia suddenly said, "If my predictions are correct, when our army arrives at Manniu Pass, what we will see is an empty camp."

"What's the explanation for the military commander?" Yue Yun asked modestly.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "As you said, there is no danger to defend the Manniu Pass. If you were the guard of the Manniu Pass, and you knew that the camp of Jigu was broken and the main general Hu Qiu was killed, what choice would you make?"

Yue Yun frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "If it were me, I would resolutely give up Manniu Pass and go north to join the army stationed at Hulao Pass. Together, we will fight a powerful enemy together."

Speaking of this, Yue Yun had come to his senses and suddenly realized.

"According to the strategist's plan, how should we act?" Xue Rengui, who was a bit conceited, was not very convinced of Guo Jia at first, thinking that His Highness sent Guo Jia to accompany him because he did not trust his command ability.

Xue Rengui is not a pure fierce general like Xu Chu, he is a general who has commanded thousands of troops, but he is alone, and he is used to speaking in the army.

Except for the Three Kingdoms period, in other dynasties, there were indeed very few military divisions leading the war process. It was all the generals in the army who planned everything, and the military division was only a staff support role.

But looking at it now, Guo Jia is indeed far-sighted, and he is not some kind of person who is in vain.

Guo Jiadao: "Once the enemy's army joins forces, our army will have no chance to take advantage of it. For the present plan, we only need to make a time difference, send troops immediately, and set up an ambush halfway in advance."

The ambush site doesn't even need to be surveyed. The ambush site of the leopard demon army last autumn was the best choice. The fox demon army never dreamed that they would encounter a second ambush here.

"Then it will be soon."

After all, Xue Rengui is a general in charge of the army, so he grasped the essence of this strategy, and if he wants to hide before the enemy, it is best to start now, otherwise he may miss the opportunity.

"All generals obey orders!" Xue Rengui was very decisive, but he had the demeanor of a general, "Yue Yun."

"The end is here!"

"Lead your troops and be responsible for staying at the Jigu camp, continue to clean the battlefield, and take prisoners of war. After you are done, immediately return to the station from the direction of Manniu Pass."

"The last will obey!"

Although Yue Yun was a little unwilling, he also knew that the second brigade was the most suitable choice for this task.

One has to wait for the wolf cavalry who are still chasing outside.

Secondly, the Second Brigade is based at Yize Pass and is familiar with the conditions of Manniu Pass and Bloody Canyon.

Although the garrison of the Gu Daying Camp is already the largest military force of the Yaozu on the northeast border, the expeditionary force cannot stay here for too long, lest they be discovered by the Yaozu's reinforcements.

That would be bad.

Xue Rengui nodded with satisfaction, "The rest of the generals must immediately gather their troops and go to the ambush point to stand by. The military situation is urgent and there must be no mistakes, otherwise military law will be engaged."

"The last will obey!"

Zhou Qing and others took the order and left.

…………

Just as the expeditionary force broke out of camp and prepared for the second ambush, King Qinghu, who was far away in Wei County, had received the news that the Jigu camp had been attacked and Hu Chou had died in battle.

As soon as the demon generals stationed at Hulao Pass got the news, they immediately dispatched the eagle demon to Mi County for a message.

After seeing it, the Qing Fox King looked extremely ugly and gritted his teeth: "It's Qingqiu Mansion again, damn it!" Despite all his precautions and countless calculations, he finally fell into the trap of Qingqiu Mansion.

With the defeat of the Jigu camp and the death of Hu Chou, even if the Leopard Demon Army wins this spring battle, it will be difficult to offset the negative impact caused by it.

If you win, you also lose.

It was basically announced that the attempt of the Green Fox King to boost the morale of the army had been defeated, no wonder he was so angry.

The Qinghu King wished he could kill Qian Yuan now, to get rid of the shame.

"My lord, what should we do now?" Leopard Demon General asked cautiously, for fear of getting into trouble.

That is to say, the Gu camp was broken, and another impact brought about by this was that the Leopard Demon Army, which was fighting fiercely in Viper County, had no food and grass to support them, so they would not be able to fight for a long time.

This is just too bad.

There are only two ways in front of the Leopard Demon Army, either withdraw the troops, or muster the remaining courage to fight to the death with the human army on the opposite side, and the battle will determine the world.

It will be a battle without sacrifices.

The green fox king's face was livid, and the leopard demon would think of it. He naturally thought of it, and said bitterly: "The human race on the other side still has the strength to fight. If we rush to a decisive battle, even if we can win, it will only be a tragic victory."

He really underestimated the fighting spirit of the enemy's Second Division.

Who would have thought that the opponent who was defeated by one blow a few years ago would suddenly become tough?Seriously, the human army is really not something that the monsters can fiddle with at will.

"Then, withdraw the troops?" The leopard general was obviously unwilling.

After this period of fierce fighting, the Leopard Demon Army has completely gained the upper hand. The Leopard Demon will clearly feel that the resistance of the opposite human army is gradually weakening.

It seems that as long as you add more strength, you can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

If you withdraw your troops at this time, everything you have done before will be meaningless, and your efforts will be in vain.
This high-profile expedition has become a joke.

The Leopard Demon General had just come to power, and urgently needed a victory to consolidate his position and establish his prestige in the army, but now it seemed that he couldn't do it.

The Qinghu King's face was cloudy and uncertain, and no one could be more unwilling than him, but as the general of the whole army, he had to keep calm enough.

Once the Leopard Demon Army suffered heavy losses in Viper County and failed to protect them, the Qingqiu Mansion would stab them in the back.

The consequences could be disastrous.

Therefore, withdrawal is the best option.

But if he didn't do anything, the anger in Qinghu King's heart could not be dispelled, and he said coldly: "Didn't that damn Qianyuan lead his troops to station in the Nanguan Camp? Now it seems that it is simply a cover."

The Green Fox King is not stupid at all.

Since Jigu Camp was defeated in such a short period of time, it can be inferred that even if it was a surprise attack, Qingqiu Mansion must have dispatched the main force.

There are definitely not many troops left on the mainland, and it is when they are at their weakest.

No wonder there is such a drama.

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Leopard Demon General suddenly became excited.

The Qinghu King said faintly: "Withdraw the army from Viper County and go south to attack the Nanguan camp. This king wants to teach Qian Yuan a lesson that he will never forget, and let him know that the Yaozu are not easy to mess with."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Leopard Demon General flattered him first, then worriedly said: "What if the enemy's Second Division sneaks up from behind, what should we do?"

Then you will be attacked from both sides.

There was a mocking smile on the mouth of the Qinghu King, "You don't know the human race, they are best at infighting. As far as I know, there is no confrontation between the Qingqiu Mansion and the enemy's second division, just like this time, Viper County has been besieged for so long, and the Nanguan Daying Army has not yet seen reinforcements.

"We withdrew our troops from Viper County and turned to attack Nanguan Camp. Maybe they will applaud. The enemy's second division will only watch the fun from the sidelines, and there is absolutely no possibility of reinforcements."

The Green Fox King really did a good job.

Leopard Demon General nodded frequently, full of admiration.

The Green Fox King finally said: "Of course, just in case, we have to launch a fierce attack to completely frighten the enemy before we can evacuate with peace of mind."

"Understood!" Leopard Demon General took the order.
