Chapter 174 Withdraw 2

"You mean... Ling Gaofeng died in the battle. The defenders of Lucheng... were almost completely destroyed. In the main mansion of Yicheng City, Li Yuan sat in a chair decadently and said as if talking to himself.

General Ling could have been evacuated safely. But... he still chose to fight until the last minute. At this moment, there are six people in the hall. In addition to the original five people, there was a man kneeling in the hall, who was unkempt and his clothes were ragged. But it can still be seen from the corners of the clothes that this man should have been a member of the imperial army. Just at this moment, if you don't observe carefully, you can't identify this person at all.

"Get up first. Captain Zhou, take him down to rest." Li Yuan was stunned without any reaction, but Wei Tianchang asked Zhou Huai to take this person down to rest.

Zhou Huai looked at Wei Tianchang with inquiring eyes. Wei Tianchang shook his head and signaled that he could stay. Zhou Huai bowed slightly and left with this person.

The hall fell silent for a while, and Lucheng was destroyed. This news is not good news for everyone. Previously, Li Yuan also said that he could hold on for two months, but in a blink of an eye, Lucheng had changed its owner. That also means. Two months, it's just a joke.

And the man just now was one of the soldiers who escaped from Lucheng. He knew that Li Yuan was in Yicheng at this moment. After leaving Lucheng, he rushed all the way here. It was he who passed on the news that Lucheng was defeated by the enemy to Zhou Huai. Then Zhou Huai took him here to report the specific situation to Li Yuan and others.

Ye Feng. This is the current situation. What do you think we should do?" Li Yuan's eyes were still staring at the ground, and Ling Gaofeng's death was too hard for him. They have been comrades-in-arms for many years and have been fighting side by side until now. Unexpectedly. Ling Gaofeng actually left before him. Brothers for many years, I can't even see them for the last time. There is nothing more tragic about life than this.

Ye Feng. What do I ask you? Didn't you hear?" There has been no response for a long time. Li Yuan raised his head, looked at Ye Feng, and asked again.

Ah? What are you talking about?" Ye Feng really didn't hear what Li Yuan was saying. He was also immersed in the news of Ling Gaofeng's death. Speaking of which, Ye Feng has a good impression of Ling Gaofeng. In him, you can see all the character of soldiers. Integrity and courage. Not afraid of power. It's just that I'm a little grumpy. However, the soldier is not grumpy. Although Ye Feng had been in contact with him for a short time. But I really like this person. But after he left, Ling Gaofeng died in battle. Ye Feng can understand why Ling Gaofeng didn't retreat. As a general. How to withdraw if the enemy is not clear? If you are afraid to die, you will retreat. How to make your subordinates move forward bravely. As a general, be the first soldier.

"What do you think we should do next if the enemy is occupying Lucheng now?" After saying that, Li Yuan continued to stare at the ground with his head down. It seems that there is something he is looking forward to.

"I haven't thought about it. Uncle Li, what do you think we should do now? Ye Feng really didn't expect things to turn out like this. Even he didn't expect that Lucheng would be broken. This happened too suddenly. Not prepared at all.

"There is basically nothing to guard on the road between Lucheng and the imperial capital, and the enemy has now occupied Lucheng. When they are rectified, they will inevitably go down. Go straight to the imperial capital. And we have to stop them from doing so. The enemy is forcing us to fight with them. Although Li Yuan was sad, he broke the motivation of the Tianma Empire in one word.

If Lucheng is destroyed, then the imperial capital of the Xuanming Empire will be in danger. At this time, if Li Yuan and others do not enter the army to stop them, they may be able to rely on the city defense of the capital to deal with the enemy for a period of time. Then, he and others caused chaos to the enemy behind the enemy. Finally, attack two places when the enemy is in chaos. Destroy the enemy. However, this is just a hypothesis. Now the Tianma Empire has taken the Lucheng, if they ask the Rasha Empire to advance at the same time. Li Yuan's method is of no use at all. The troops of the Rasha Empire will be deadlocked with Li Yuan. The troops of the Tianma Empire will continue to attack the imperial capital. Over time, it will be unfavorable to Xuanming. Moreover, what worried Li Yuan most was that the enemy did not know how to break through Lucheng. Although the defense facilities of Lucheng can't be drunk. But Lucheng is also an important military city. Even Lucheng can be broken so easily. If you do it again at the imperial capital. Li Yuan dares not gamble. This is a choice about the survival of the empire, and he doesn't have the courage to gamble.

"Decisive battle? Uncle Li. Where do you think it's better for us to fight with them? Or reduce the disadvantages to us to a minimum. Ye Feng pondered for a while. Li Yuan is right. That's what the enemy means. Or, come and fight with yourself. Or, watch yourself occupy your palace.

"I don't know. Now I don't understand why the enemy has this kind of action. Moreover, Lucheng has now been captured by them. Presumably, they have all learned the location of our troops. I don't know where to go to fight with them. Or can we only wait for them to attack us?" Li Yuan felt that there was no way to predict the direction of the enemy now. Lucheng is the front-line headquarters. There is all the information about the empire and the war. Now, it must have been controlled by the enemy. At this time, these people are completely passive. Li Yuan really wanted to take people to rush to the enemy to fight to the death. But he can't. He knows the words of this. There is really no hope.

Ye Feng. Can you ask your people for help?" Wei Tianchang has never spoken. But he said to Ye Feng at this time.

"Can you talk about them?" Ye Feng didn't understand who Wei Tianchang was talking about at first, but when Wei Tianchang's hand pointed to the sky, he understood. Wei Tianchang is talking about the people of Shence Camp. Ye Feng didn't think about letting Mr. Li and Wang Shuwen help him. But as soon as I came, I passed the news on my side. By the time they came, the enemy would have taken down the imperial capital. Ye Feng didn't think it would help if they came. Ye Feng stayed in the Shence camp for so long. Know the details of the divine strategy camp. The number of people there is only a hundred. Although these people are all masters, they have to rely on them to defeat hundreds of thousands of troops. Ye Feng felt that this matter was not very reliable.

"That's right. That's right. Didn't they let them deal with this kind of thing when they set up that place? Li Yuan's eyes also lit a bright light. How did he forget the strategy camp?

"Two, it's not that I don't want to do this. However, it will take at least a month to send letters from us. However, do you think the enemy will wait for us for a month? Moreover, I have been there for so long. I don't know how many of them. Even if they are all masters of Tianangjing. However, it is facing hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. Do you think they can defeat the enemy? Ye Feng doesn't want to pour cold water. But he had to tell the truth.

"That's right. So... is there really nothing we can do?" The two sighed at the same time. Wei Tianchang supported his head with his hand. He looks like he is lost.

"Uncle Li. Is it inevitable to have a decisive battle? Ye Feng looked at the map hanging in the hall. Said.

"I don't want to, but if we don't take the troops to fight with them. The imperial capital is about to fall. Therefore, a decisive battle is inevitable.

"In that case, let's withdraw." Ye Feng's words came out. Li Yuan and Wei Tianchang looked at Ye Feng with shocked eyes at the same time. Does Ye Feng want to abandon the empire at this time? Escape alone? But the two of them thought about it. No, if Ye Feng was really such a person, he would not have taken people to the rear of the Tianma Empire to do such a dangerous thing. That's playing with your own life.

"What do you mean?" Li Yuan still believes in Ye Feng the most. He knew that since Ye Feng said so, he must have his idea.

"Uncle Li. Since the decisive battle is inevitable. So, where to fight this battle is the same result. We won, and the Tianma Empire was defeated. The Rasha Empire withdrew its troops. We lost and the empire was destroyed. Other than that, there is no third result. So, why don't we move the battlefield to our advantage or pull both sides back to the same starting line? Ye Feng still stared at the full picture of the empire. He said slowly.

"So what you mean..." Wei Tianchang was also understood by Ye Feng's words. Since there is a decisive battle. Where to put it is not a war.

"Here..." Ye Feng pointed to an open place in the map and said. We are here to fight against the enemy."

"Is this... the sunset plain?" Seeing Ye Feng's finger, Li Yuan and Wei Tianchang blurted out at the same time. That's the sunset plain. The so-called sunset is where the sun sets. This is the main grain-producing area of the Xuanming Empire. It is also the only place in the empire that has not built a city, where annual grain production accounts for half of the country's total grain production. Therefore, the founding emperor at that time banned the construction of cities here. It can only be used to grow grain. This is why the sunset plain is not the richest area of the empire. Now, Ye Feng actually said that he would fight against the Tianma Empire here. The two don't understand. There is no horizon here, and the enemy's troops are obviously more than their own. Although everyone is almost the same here. But at this time, the number of people will determine the outcome of the war. Doesn't Ye Feng know this?

"Ye Feng, although you are right. However, there are too many enemies here than us. At that time, we will not be able to effectively suppress the enemy at all. Instead, it will be divided and surrounded by enemies. Then annihilate each one. And if we lose. The empire is over." Li Yuan frowned. He didn't know why Ye Feng made such a decision.

"Uncle Li, I know what you said. But don't forget. It is an objective fact that there are more enemies than us. It will never change. And if we continue to stay here. At that time, the enemy will split up troops to delay us. But their main force is to attack the imperial capital. At that time, we will even break through the encirclement of the enemy. But can you guarantee that the enemy will not take the imperial capital in that period of time? No, and you have said it all. The enemy is likely to have known where our troops are stationed, if they each destroys them. As far as we are concerned. It will not be their opponent at all. Instead, we might as well gather all the troops together. Have a decisive battle with them. You know, the number of people will only influence the war if it is absolutely suppressed. And the time and place are not necessarily good. Moreover, by then, we will have no way back, and we have no choice but to fight to death. But the enemies are different. They are invaders. They don't have the fighting spirit we have. Therefore, as long as we risk this battle. It's really hard to say who will win or lose. Ye Feng turned around and looked at the sky outside the door. A glimmer of light faded in his eyes.
