Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 73 Reversal
It was night, the Tiger Demon Army camp outside the city.

Chinese army tent.

Compared with the enthusiasm of the previous two days, the atmosphere in the camp was very depressing.

In the battle in the afternoon, the tiger demon army killed two demon generals and lost more than [-] demon soldiers. This was the heaviest casualty since the army advanced.

Let alone the massacre of the city now, it's two things to say whether you can get out of your body.

The crazy human race need not be weaker than the monster race. Looking back at the siege scene in the afternoon, the fearless assailants, the ubiquitous sneak attacks, and the flying swords coming out of nowhere, the demon generals present were still terrified.

Every time the two sides fought on the street, once a monster soldier was injured, he would be dragged excitedly into the nearby alleys by the people who came out of nowhere.

then……

It's gone then.

Once the human race overcomes fear, it seems to come alive suddenly, bursting out with amazing energy.

What should I do next?
The generals all looked at the military adviser Hu Qiu, waiting for Hu Qiu to make up his mind.Hu Chou was also a little flustered, and the successive blows made him fall into self-doubt.

Intellectually, Hu Chou knew that withdrawing the troops right now was the best choice, but the grain requisition task was only half completed, and he finally took down the Qingqiu Mansion granary, so he just slipped away like this?

What frightened Hu Chou even more was that once they retreated, their weakness would undoubtedly be exposed to the human race. "Beating the dog in the water" is the human race's forte.

Thinking of chasing him all the way, Hu Chou shuddered unknowingly.

At that time, not only would the food transport team that had been recruited forcibly disperse, but the food that had been looted with great difficulty would not be transported back to the country, and even the Tiger Demon Army might suffer heavy losses.

Hu Qiu couldn't figure out why the Tiger Demon Army was in such a desperate situation all of a sudden?Since the start of the war, have his series of decisions been wrong?

To deal with the human race, maybe the brute force of the Tiger Demon General is more effective?
No, it won't.

Hu Qiu firmly believed that his choice was the most correct, it was just bad luck.

"Report, urgent military situation!"

"Enter!"

Just when Hu Chou was in a dilemma, the messenger brought an emergency military order from the Green Fox King, ordering the Tiger Demon Army to return home quickly and wipe out the human army active on the border of the kingdom.

The expeditionary army led by Yue Yun set off a wave of massacres on the northeastern border of Qingqiu country. One tribe after another was massacred and turned into scorched earth.

This is called tit for tat.

Soon, the news of the attack on the border spread to the royal court. The fox king was furious and issued an edict, asking how the Qinghu king defended the border of the kingdom, and let the human army kill him.

What a disgrace to the kingdom.

The Green Fox King was so ashamed that he didn't dare to argue at all. He ordered the Tiger Demon Army to return to the country immediately with the most severe words, and within a week, completely wiped out the human army that was making trouble on the border.

What's funny is that neither Lord Fox nor King Qinghu has yet figured out how many human troops are attacking the border. They only know that urgent reports of attacks on the border come one after another.

This gave Master Fox the illusion that overnight, the border of the kingdom fell into the quagmire of war. Presumably, it must be a large-scale army.

If Master Fox knew that the attacking human army was only 700 people, I don't know how he would feel.

This illusion was also passed on to the Green Fox King.

The Green Fox King didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly ordered the Tiger Demon Army to return to the country immediately and wipe out the enemy army.

"What? There are a large number of human troops entering the kingdom, this is impossible?!"

The demon generals were dumbfounded.

On the contrary, Hu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, the withdrawal of the troops would be justifiable, "If there is no accident, it should be the troops sent by Yize County."

"There aren't that many troops in Yize County, right?"

"Maybe it's Dagan's secret army hiding in Yize County in advance."

"Yes, otherwise, the commander-in-chief and the three thousand troops wouldn't have just said no."

This time, no demon general dared to underestimate Yize County. That small county town seemed to contain magical power, which made people fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Winning once is a fluke.

Winning twice is just a coincidence.

Winning three times must be a manifestation of strength.

"Let's evacuate, tonight!" Hu Qiu was decisive, knowing that tonight was the best time to evacuate, and it would not be so easy to evacuate tomorrow.

General Tiger asked: "Military advisor, why don't you go back directly from Yize County?" He and the Tiger Demon General were from the same tribe. The Tiger Demon General was the leader of his tribe, so naturally he would not forget to avenge the Tiger Demon General.

"No." Hu Qiu resolutely refused.

"why?"

"How many troops there are in Yize County is still a mystery. If we can't break through Yize Pass in a short period of time, we will be attacked by the enemy as soon as a large number of pursuers arrive. We can't take this risk."

"..."

The demon generals looked at each other, and only then did they realize that it was not the initial stage of the war, and they could do whatever they wanted in Dagan territory.

The tide has turned.

The tiger demon army is like a wild horse rushing wildly. Once it stops, exhaustion comes like a tide. When I look back, I find that I have been scarred and no longer the glory of the past.

"Then you won't avenge the commander in chief?" General Hu was quite stubborn.

Hu Qiu glanced at the other party and said, "Of course we have to take revenge. Once we retreat to the country and wipe out the enemy forces causing chaos, we will work together to recapture Manniu Pass and avenge the commander-in-chief."

General Tiger had nothing to say.

That night, the Tiger Demon Army quietly pulled out of the camp and left, not even taking the looted food, grass and luggage, and went into battle lightly, and quickly withdrew to Zhennan Pass.

Before leaving, in order not to leak the news, but also to vent their anger, the Tiger Demon Army slaughtered all the more than [-] human laborers recruited in these days, and piled up a mountain of corpses in the camp.

It was already noon the next day when the coalition forces discovered that the Tiger Demon Army's camp was empty.

Although the great victory was achieved yesterday, this did not change the "counseling" of the coalition forces, otherwise, they should have noticed the anomaly in the Tiger Demon Army's camp at the first time.

By the time something is wrong, it's too late.

Looking at the high mountain of corpses in the middle of the camp, Tang Sifang said in grief and indignation: "The demon army retreated overnight. There must be a big change. It is very likely that King Qingqiu killed the demon tribe. I suggest to catch up immediately , kill them, and avenge the dead compatriots."

Unfortunately no response.

If they were able to defend the Qingqiu Mansion and even "defeat" the invading Tiger Demon Army, whether it was Feng Quji or Chu Guanjie, they could barely have an explanation to the court.

If you keep chasing, who knows if you will fall into the trap?

"What's so cruel? The Tiger Demon Army was obviously killed by us." Chu Guanjie said righteously, "As for the pursuit, we should wait until the scouts find out the location of the Tiger Demon Army. We can't chase them indiscriminately."

"you!"

Tang Sifang was so outraged by Chu Guanjie's shamelessness that he couldn't speak.

Feng Quji said: "Killing the enemy is secondary. The most important thing right now is to maintain combat power. It is necessary to be cautious to take back Zhennan Pass from the Tiger Demon Army."

Tang Sifang pointed at the mountain of corpses and angrily said, "Could it be that their death was in vain?"

No one answered.

The scene was eerily quiet, only Tang Sifang's heavy breathing was left.

Perhaps, there is some kind of cruelty in reality in this quietness.
"If you don't chase me, I'll go!"

Tang Sifang couldn't bear this kind of atmosphere any longer, and hurriedly chased him down with more than a hundred of his cronies, but maybe even he himself didn't want to think about what effect it would have.

Do your best and obey the fate.

…………

The conservatism of the coalition forces gave the Tiger Demon Army a chance to retreat calmly. After escorting the last batch of food through Zhennan Pass, they did not stop, and directly entered Hulao Pass opposite.

Hu Chou knew that Dagan was determined to take back Zhennan Pass, and there was no point in defending it.

In the High Demonic Plane, even iron-walled passes like Zhennanguan can only serve as a strategic buffer at best, and cannot be used once and for all like the passes on Earth.

As long as you are willing to deploy high-end combat power, it is not difficult to break through.

Therefore, the Tiger Demon Army had no intention of entangled with the Dagan army at Zhennan Pass, and their purpose was only to plunder food.

The war between the two countries has lasted for thousands of years, and it is so easy to tell the winner.

It just hurts the people.

Just after entering Hulao Pass, Hu Qiu received the latest news that the human army that was raging on the border of the kingdom seemed to appear suddenly, and then suddenly disappeared.

"..."

Hu Chou was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, "Let's go to Man Niu Pass."

Since there was no need to destroy the enemy, Hu Qiu had no choice but to vent his anger towards Yize County.

A team of one thousand men was left to guard Hulao Pass, and Hu Qiu led the remaining three thousand demon troops to Manniu Pass, vowing to avenge his shame.
