Immortal and Demon Cultivation
Chapter 4523: Being fooled
Zhan Ying is running away, and so is Qu Jiuyuan.
The symbolic significance of the Battle of Longmen is far greater than its military use.
Longmen is a huge stage. If the army of heaven is beaten here, it can greatly boost the morale of the defenders of Yumen Pass and the people on earth.
The Battle of Longmen has been going on for half a month, and the last four days were for Zhao Zian to save face.
Now that four days have passed, it is enough to inspire the morale of the world and for Zhao Zian to save the face he lost in the early stage.
Continuing to fight hard in Longmen and Longmen Mountain is just to die in battle, and there is no other meaning.
Zhao Zian did not sleep all night tonight. He must wait until the Zhenxi Army and Hongyu Army stationed outside the pass are safely withdrawn to Yumen Pass before he can rest.
If they cannot withdraw, but the whole army is destroyed outside Yumen Pass, then these four days of perseverance and hard fighting will lose their meaning.
It is easy for Zhan Ying to retreat, after all, the Nanjiang Beast Riders run very fast.
There are hundreds of thousands of infantrymen in Longmen and Longbei Mountain. It is very difficult to withdraw them to Yumen Pass, which is 80 miles away.
This requires cooperation from many aspects.
Tonight, the Middle-earth Cavalry launched a military operation against the Storm Legion from the south to contain the Storm Legion and attract the attention of the Phantom.
The Tianma Legion of the Tiannu Kingdom also launched a surprise attack on the military camp of the Heavenly Army stationed outside Longmen around midnight.
In order to complete the victorious retreat, Zhao Zian also spent a lot of money. Black fire bombs and cans of fierce fire oil were thrown from the sky by the Tianma Knights. There were constant explosions in the Heavenly Garrison Camp, and the fierce fire oil helped to burn, causing the camp to quickly turn into a sea of fire.
However, the Tianma troops were soon intercepted by the Six-Winged Legion of the Heavenly Realm, and the two sides started a melee in the air.
When the entire Heavenly Realm camp was in chaos, the Zhenxi Army stationed in the ancient city of Longmen and the Red Feather Army stationed in Longbei Mountain sneaked out of the defense line and ran eastward desperately.
Even if Zhao Zian made sufficient preparations, even if the Heavenly Realm camp was in chaos, even if they retreated silently, it was absolutely impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to escape quietly from under the eyes of the Heavenly Realm army.
When the Pegasus troops attacked the camp, Phantom immediately ordered the team to gather, just to prevent the trapped human soldiers in front of them from taking the opportunity to break through and escape.
A soldier from the heavens rushed to the front of Phantom, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "As expected by the commander-in-chief, the enemy troops of Longmen and Longbei Mountain took advantage of the chaos of our army to break through the defense line and retreat eastward."
Phantom curled his lips, revealing a trace of sneer, and said: "Eighty miles away, they want to run to Yumen Pass on foot?
Pass on my order, the three thousand storm cavalry stationed fifty miles north of Longmen will be dispatched immediately to block their way on the high earth slope forty miles ahead.
The Skeleton Corps, the Madman Corps, and the Giant Corps will each dispatch 20,000 troops to chase and kill along the way.
The remaining soldiers do not need to put out the fire, take the supplies and occupy Longmen and Longbei Mountain immediately."
The military order was passed down, and the heavenly army immediately took action.
Now Longmen and Longbei Mountain are two empty cities. Phantom did not expect that she would take over these two military fortresses in this way.
She really thought that these human garrisons would fight to the death with her and die to the last man.
It seems that I overestimated them.
Ants are ants, how can they fight to the death?
Zhan Ying had expected everything several days ago.
Every step of Qu Jiuyuan's action was strictly implemented by the strategy and tactics formulated by Zhan Ying for him.
Including the retreat tonight.
After escaping from the position, the heavenly army in the north took action.
Qu Jiuyuan knew that the enemy had discovered the actions of his people.
He immediately shouted loudly with the sound transmission stone: "Move to the southeast Tianying Pass! Qu Jiuyuan's Zhenxi Army has come to meet us!"
So, hundreds of thousands of troops, relying on their legs, turned their direction abruptly in the desert Gobi.
Phantom is now standing at the highest point of Longbei Mountain.
She finally stood here, overlooking everything around.
Suddenly, a sergeant from the heaven came to report that the escaped human soldiers and the Red Feather Army did not run to Yumen Pass, but fled to the southeast Tianying Pass.
This change temporarily escaped the blockade and encirclement of the 3,000 Storm Legion.
Phantom frowned and said, "Are they retreating to Tianying Pass?
Tianying Pass has a cliff of nearly 100 feet. Even if they rush to Tianying Pass, it is impossible to let so many soldiers enter the pass in a short time! It's just a dead end!"
The soldier said, "According to the news passed on, it seems that the fleeing soldiers on the earth said that Qu Jiuyuan's troops of Zhenxi Army are in front to support them."
"What?
Qu Jiuyuan's troops of 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 general in the heaven wearing silver armor said, "Marshal, we have all been deceived! Qu Jiuyuan's troops are 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-wing scouts were all along the Tianying Pass to the north, because, even a fool knew that since Qu Jiuyuan had left the Tianying Pass, he would definitely move closer to the Longmen battlefield in the north and it would be impossible for him to march in the opposite direction.
The Zhenlong chess game set up by the "mysterious man" in the north on the wasteland made Phantom guess that the person he was fighting this time was Li Tielan's descendant in the human world.
The essence of the Zhenlong chess game is to arrange a surprise force outside the chess game! Phantom has always believed that Qu Jiuyuan is the surprise force arranged by the "mysterious man".
Phantom can almost conclude that Qu Jiuyuan's troops must be hiding in a valley somewhere in the Tianshan Mountains east of the Zhenlong chess game waiting for the opportunity.
Because Qu Jiuyuan was the mysterious figure who turned the tide of the Eagle's Beak Cliff battle ten years ago, Phantom has always suspected that it was not Zhao Shiqu who commanded the Eagle's Beak Cliff battle that year, but that "mysterious man".
Qu Jiuyuan must have had close contact with that mysterious man.
But now, Qu Jiuyuan's troops appeared in the south! Phantom still has some military strategies. She immediately thought that tonight might be a smoke bomb released by the mysterious man.
She didn't dare to call back the 3,000 Storm Troops that were blocking the fleeing soldiers on the way to Yumen Pass. She always felt that if these hundreds of thousands of enemy troops wanted to withdraw to the pass, they could only go through Yumen Pass.
The method to verify whether Qu Jiuyuan's troops in the south were smoke bombs was very simple, that is, the Zhenlong chess game.
If the Southern Frontier Beast Cavalry was still in the line of Shaqiu City, then the Qu Jiuyuan troops that appeared in the south of Longmen at this moment must be fake.
If the Southern Frontier Beast Cavalry had already run away, then Phantom would probably vomit three pounds of blood.
She said: "Send a message to the main force of the army in the north to immediately attack the Southern Frontier Beast Cavalry!"
