Chapter 2222 A Last Stand
The army controlled by Ye Liuyun also began to mobilize comprehensively.
First, the armies of Xiao Yunfang and Helian Xiu began to move out from Qiming City.
Mu Qingcheng led the 100,000 troops in the east, gradually arrived at Qiming City through the teleportation array, and took over the defense of Qiming City.
Ye Liuyun also assigned the 4,000 imperial guards captured last time to the armies of Yu Xiaofeng and Xiao Yunfang.
Then, the 100,000 troops along the southern coast also gathered outside Qiming City. After all arrived, Pei Yong took over with all the equipment.
This time, Ye Liuyun was fighting a desperate battle. Behind them was the Endless Sea.
Once the main force of the battle was eliminated, they could only withdraw to the east. It would not be easy to fight back.
Then, Pei Yong led the 100,000 troops and began to move forward again.
In this way, Ye Liuyun's 400,000 troops all advanced in the direction of the Zhongxing Dynasty.
Zhongxing Dynasty received the information and suspected that Ye Liuyun was preparing to attack the royal city with all his strength. Therefore, his western and northern armies also began to move closer to the royal city, so as not to be unable to rescue them in time.
However, as soon as they approached the royal city, Ye Liuyun's two armies went north and west.
It seemed that they were going to rush to the western and northern armies, and to surround the royal city.
Along the way, they did not attack the city. They just hurried on their way. Of course, no city was blind enough to intercept them.
Then, Xiao Yunfang's army also began to move, occupying the eastern cities one by one, with great momentum.
Zhongxing Dynasty really couldn't judge Ye Liuyun's true purpose. So they could only send a thousand imperial guards to each of the three routes to test.
They didn't dare to send too many at once, fearing that the three armies would suddenly turn to attack the royal city.
But what they didn't expect was that all the three imperial guards were wiped out.
The two armies of Yu Xiaofeng and Xiao Yunfang each had 2,000 martial artists in the middle and late stages of the ninth level. Ye Liuyun had a sharp knife group, so it was very easy to kill these 1,000 people, and he even took the opportunity to capture a lot of prisoners.
They also let these prisoners return on their own and report to Pei Yong.
Zhongxing Dynasty also made corresponding adjustments after a few days of silence.
Their northern army directly met the armies of Ye Liuyun and Helian Xiu, while the western army began to retreat to Duhun Mountain.
At the same time, 30,000 imperial guards, 10,000 rushed to Xiao Yunfang's army, 10,000 went straight to the city where Pei Yong was stationed, and 10,000 rushed to Qiming City.
Ye Liuyun also sighed: "Zhongxing Dynasty can't figure out the direction of our attack, and has begun a full-scale counterattack! It seems that this 'Tiger Head' is really good."
He didn't expect that Zhongxing Dynasty was even more ruthless than him, and actually launched a five-way counterattack.
Yu Xiaofeng also asked Ye Liuyun: "The Western Army wants to retreat to Duhun Mountain. Could it be that they just want to expand their power and don't want to be enemies with us?"
"Impossible!"
Ye Liuyun and Song An came to the same conclusion at the same time.
"If the Western Army wants to be independent, they will definitely not be able to withstand our attack after we destroy the Zhongxing Dynasty. So they either take action now or surrender now.
Therefore, they deliberately retreated and wanted to wait for your army to attack the royal city, and then attack from behind." Song An analyzed.
"However, this just shows that the army is the strongest among all their armies!" Ye Liuyun added.
He continued to analyze: "I think this just shows that 'Tiger Head' is Yuan Hao. His northern army came forward, and the western army retreated, which created a time difference in between.
After dealing with my army, he can immediately go back and lead the western army to deal with yours. Regardless of whether he wins or loses this battle against me, it will not delay him from leading the western army!"
"It is very likely! His three imperial troops attacked the east, and he also wanted to attract our main army to come back for support.
Our army is 100,000, and he only has 10,000 imperial troops. As long as we come back for support, they will escape. They are few in number and escape fast, and we can't catch up with them even if we want to!" Song An also saw the intention of the Zhongxing Dynasty.
"Well, I also think that the tens of thousands of imperial troops of the Zhongxing Dynasty may not all want to fight! But if it is let 'Tiger Head' to command, there is also this possibility, through the imperial troops to attack the base fiercely, to increase the pressure on our front-line army!"
Ye Liuyun felt that if it was Mo Xiaotian who was in charge, he would definitely let the imperial troops come out to scare people. But if it is 'Tiger Head' now, it is really possible to let the imperial troops attack the city with all their strength.
Song An said with certainty: "It is difficult to change human nature. Even at a critical moment, Mo Xiaotian will never hand over his life-saving troops to others to control!"
"Whether they are fighting for real or fake, the original plan remains unchanged!"
Ye Liuyun finally made a decision.
So Ye Liuyun's several armies are still advancing according to the original plan, without any changes.
At this time, Mo Xiaotian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot in the palace. He kept asking about the changes in the situation on the battlefield every day.
But the less changes there were, the more worried he was.
Song An still understood him, and his guess was not wrong.
'Tiger Head' did propose to Mo Xiaotian to counterattack with all his strength, but Mo Xiaotian did not accept it. He was reluctant to consume this little imperial army.
Ye Liuyun's guess was also correct. Yuan Hao was 'Tiger Head'. He had been hiding his identity and even pretended not to cooperate with the Zhongxing Dynasty before, just to cause Ye Liuyun to be careless.
But this time when he saw Ye Liuyun's playing style, he knew that Ye Liuyun was not simple either.
It's a pity that he gave Mo Xiaotian suggestions, but Mo Xiaotian didn't adopt them, let alone give him the command of the Forbidden Army.
So he could only do his best. He would lead the northern army to fight Ye Liuyun first, destroying 100,000 troops. Then he would return to the west and kill another 100,000 troops. This would be considered as depleting Ye Liuyun's main force. .
But he had a good idea, but he didn't expect that Ye Liuyun had already guessed it.
Ye Liuyun also thought that Yuan Hao could move back and forth because he had a teleportation black tower.
In fact, Yuan Hao does not have any magic weapon for teleportation. But he secretly set up a teleportation array in Duhun Mountain, which could teleport him back at any time.
Ye Liuyun and others also received the news. According to the progress of the Forbidden Army, Xiao Yunfang was the first to contact the Forbidden Army.
"Defense first! Whether the Forbidden Army is fighting for real or fake, they will definitely attack with all their strength in this first battle. So you must defend with all your strength first, capture as many strong Forbidden Army members as possible, and then counterattack!" Ye Liuyun informed Xiao Yunfang.
Xiao Yunfang also immediately defended on the spot and asked Qiongqi to set up a defensive formation in the city they just occupied. Liu Yang, Mo Shaowen and others also made preparations with the soul cultivators.
Qiongqi also immediately began to set up defensive formations, and worked out of the city for two days before returning to the city before the imperial army arrived.
