Chapter 396 Retreat
However, the effect of the blitzkrieg has not disappeared at this moment.
Although the proclamation was preached, it was only delivered to Shangqiu City where Guide Mansion City is located in 3 days, and the Huangshan Demon King just knew that a group of people was going to beat him.
Where did the soldiers and horses come from, and how many were there, but he didn't know the slightest bit.
As for the 100,000 army mentioned in the proclamation, he just let him ignore it. What a joke, you said 100,000 is 100,000, who would believe it!
Take out the real guy first, and let's talk about it after a battle.
In this era, it is normal not to exaggerate your own numbers before going to war.
According to the practice at the time, the 100,000 army may be 100,000 people who have been artistically rendered and said to be 100,000.
It is also difficult to guarantee the quality of the remaining 10,000 energy.
After all, your army of 10,000 third-tier soldiers is 10,000, and the army of 10,000 second-tier soldiers is also 10,000. Even an army of 10,000 first-tier waste can be counted as 10,000.
With so many concepts, who knows what stage you are at.
According to Huangshan Demon King's estimate, the call came from several counties controlled by the rear, and he had raided there several times. He didn't know how strong he was, and it was impossible for him to gather 10,000 people with such ability.
Then the only remaining target is Hecheng County, which has not yet been affected by it.
"What a talented killer, my majesty won't kill you, but I don't cherish the extra few days of good life for you. How dare you come out to seek death alive and kicking. Let's see how I will teach you after I set up my soldiers and horses."
After inferring the cause and effect, the Demon King of Huangshan was furious.
No matter how strong a small county can be, a 10,000-strong army is estimated to be at the second level, and it will not be successful.
With only 3,000 soldiers under his command who have been trained in battle, it is as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs to kill 10,000 cannon fodder.
After all, it is ancient times, and there are limitations in information. Even if some dynasties have used various Taoism and magic in wars, this does not include the little Huangshan Demon King.
Therefore, the Huangshan Demon King didn't know that the two rear counties that were more than a hundred miles away from him had already been occupied by the enemy, cutting off the way to push him to the thousand-mile mountain.
He has already fallen into the pincer attack of Zhong Yu and the Ming court. Although he still has considerable strength, the situation on the battlefield no longer favors him.
The Huangshan Demon King gathered 5,000 demon soldiers who were enjoying themselves wantonly in Shangqiu City, and led them out of the city towards Hecheng County in the south.
Yes, up to now, the Demon King of Huangshan still thinks that the two counties to the east of him are still under his control, so he has no plans to send troops to defend on those two sides.
In his cognition, as long as he leads the army to defeat Hecheng County in the south, the enemy will disappear and he will completely control the entire Guide Mansion.
It's just that he didn't know that the two counties in the east of him had already been taken back by Zhong Yu's partial army. Each county had a commander of a fifth-tier powerhouse, and tens of thousands of third-tier troops were stationed in each of them. .
Although Zhong Yu's subordinates didn't have any strong men above Tier 6, there were still quite a few masters of Tier 5.
After all, hundreds of worlds have been conquered, and the resources of these worlds are used to cultivate masters. Even if it only diverts a little bit of luck, the resulting masters are quite impressive, with hundreds of fifth ranks.
With so many Tier 5 masters, apart from leaving some to continue to conquer various worlds, Zhong Yu brought half of them, that is, 50 experts.
Although the power is not that great, it is equivalent to the high-level combat power of a province in the Ming Dynasty, which cannot be ignored.
Even if these 50 Tier 5s unite and use the power of the formation to kill a Tier 6, it is not impossible.
Therefore, there are 10,000 third-tier soldiers in these two counties, plus a fifth-tier soldier to command a considerable number of fourth-tier soldiers. Although they are not as good as the demon king, they are still enough to deal with some monster remnants.
Just some remnants.
Because Zhong Yu led a main force of 80,000 towards the direction of the Huangshan Demon King, and under his command not only 10,000 fourth-tier soldiers, but also these forty-seven fifth-tier masters among them.
Such a powerful force, the 5,000 third-tier demon soldiers under the command of the Huangshan Demon King, how can they stop it.
As for the Hecheng County in the rear, Zhong Yu didn't take care of it any more except for a soldier of the fifth rank and the ten thousandth rank to be stationed there.
His journey is on this vast continent, so how could he stop because of a small county town, not even for a moment.
Just like that, the Demon King of Huangshan was furious, and complacently bumped into the trap with his mouth open, ready to swallow him in one gulp.
Just 50 miles away from Shangqiu City and 30 miles away from the next city, at a place called Jiyang Town, the two armies met.
This small town, because of the raging flames of war, it has been dilapidated for a long time because of the raging flames of war. Many houses and buildings have been destroyed, and even the residents have disappeared. It seems that they were either eaten by monsters or fled everywhere. took refuge.
However, with the arrival of an army of 80,000, the town became lively again, and its popularity slowly recovered, gradually gaining the atmosphere of a human settlement.
Zhong Yu is above this small town, surrounded by countless troops, just waiting for the arrival of the Demon King of Huangshan.
He sent a partial army to collect the other two county towns, intending to cut off the retreat of the Huangshan Demon King and completely block it in the Sizhou Prefecture west of Guide Mansion.
Not only does he have the intention of killing them all, but he also prevents these monsters from taking the opportunity to escape back into the thousands of miles of mountains and forests. His army cannot rush into these thousands of miles of vast mountains and forests. Countless poisonous snakes and beasts that can be seen everywhere, and miasma swamps will be in this place. Kill all the monster tribes for the natives.
If these demons were allowed to escape back, there would be a very powerful and large-scale enemy watching behind Zhong Yu, and there would be endless troubles at that time.
But after all, these are just checking for omissions and filling in for vacancies. The real point is that he completely defeated the main Huangshan Demon King on this frontal battlefield.
He has been stationed in this small town for two days, and today is the third day. According to the news from the scouts, the Huangshan Demon King has appeared ten miles to the north of the town and is about to arrive at the battlefield.
Needless to say by the scouts, Zhong Yu himself could feel the monstrous aura of the sixth-order demon king of Huangshan Demon King, and he could smell it tens of miles away.
What's more, as a sixth-level powerhouse, his spiritual consciousness is extremely powerful, and it is easy to scan the situation tens of miles away.
Zhong Yu has already detected the existence of the Huangshan Demon King through his spiritual sense, and the five thousand three-level demon soldiers under his command.
In the same way, the Demon King of Huangshan also naturally felt the presence of Zhong Yu, and his 80,000-strong army.
However, he has no way to retreat.
