The border of Tang Dynasty, Yuwucheng.

The roaring sound like a mountain roaring and a tsunami continued continuously.

In order to prevent Cheng Mu from leading his army to rescue Li Cunxiao, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and others stayed here.

The newly recruited Jinwu Guard Army and Longwu Army are using their lives to build city walls to slow down Cheng Mu's advance.

But soon, a piece of bad news reached Yuwucheng.

Li Jing and Xue Rengui were defeated and fled, and the Shenwu Army and the Xue Family Army were wiped out.

Such bad news disturbed Li Ji's mind that night.

Looking at most of his soldiers who had died in the battle, Li Ji also had the idea of ​​​​retreating at this moment.

So, he ordered people to invite Cheng Yaojin, Wang Xuance and others.

Whether to fight to the death or avoid the edge temporarily, he had to ask everyone for their opinions.

"Old Li, save your strength for the time being!"

Cheng Yaojin had been in prison for so long, and he had thought it through.

If you want to avenge your crime and wash away your shame, you must recognize the strength gap between the two sides.

To be able to block the emperor of the Apocalypse Empire for so long, they have tried their best!

Fighting again will only increase casualties.

"What Duke Cheng Guo said makes sense."

Wang Xuance also nodded and said: "Several armies have entered the Apocalypse Empire from the east and west. There is no need for us to waste time here."

Cheng Mu led nearly 20 million troops in this battle. Naturally, it is impossible for such a large army to all garrison troops here.

The Beifu Army led by Xie Xuan, combined with Chen Liansheng's Qingzhou Army, Lei Dun's Shawang Army, and Nieba's Ba Dao, formed an army of four million people and set out from the west.

The blade points directly at the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty!

Wei Xiaobao led another Qingzhou Army, and together with the ruthless Sword Soul Army, set off from the east road.

Their target is the Anton Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, Zheng Zhilong's Shark Pirates, Guan Tianpei's Nanyang Fleet, and Shen Baozhen's Guangdong Fleet will also work with them to assist each other in combat.

The Andong Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty was a coastal place. Historically, places such as Goguryeo and Silla were under the jurisdiction of the Andong Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.

The army in the middle was led by Cheng Mu himself.

Guan Hai's Apocalypse Army, Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Army, Di Ri's Yaman Army, the Divine Sword Army led by the Sword Bearer, and Dongfang Nuo's Mo Shuang Army.

Five armies, more than five million soldiers.

They are the main force in this frontal battlefield. And Cheng Mu's target is the Anbei Protectorate.

Anxi, Anbei, Anton.

The three armies advanced together, and Cheng Mu wanted to bulldoze the entire Tang Empire with an invincible attitude.

No matter how small it is, he will never give it up!

"Then withdraw the troops!"

After receiving replies from Cheng Yaojin and Wang Xuance about withdrawing their troops, Li Ji immediately issued a withdrawal order.

Yes.

If he continues to waste time here, he is worried that the enemy will come from behind! By then, Li Ji's life may not be guaranteed!

For an empire, as long as their generals do not die, there is still a chance for the next battle!

...

A hundred miles away from the city, there is the Apocalypse Legion military camp and the royal tent.

Seeing the latest news from the Hidden Dragon Messenger, a smile suddenly appeared on Cheng Mu's face.

"Haha! Okay! You are indeed a filial piety!"

Being able to survive the joint attack of Li Jing and Xue Rengui, two powerful men from the back realm of Shenmen, is really exciting news.

And not only that, Li Cunxiao not only survived, but his strength was also comparable to that of a powerful person in the Shentai realm.

What is this? This is another layer of trump cards in Cheng Mu's mind.

At the beginning, Cheng Mu was worried about Li Shimin. After all, with the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was strong enough to step onto the altar.

What he wanted at that time was to gather all the power of the military soul and the power of the strongest man to surround and kill Li Shimin.

But now, it's no longer needed.

Li Cunxiao alone is enough to resist them all!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

All the ministers under his command saluted and congratulated one after another. Li Cunxiao's strength has soared, which is also good news for them.

The stronger your teammates are, the more stable they are!

But it would be very difficult to compete for the later meritorious deeds!

"His Majesty."

At this time, Guo Jia below reminded him: "Since the enemies who encircled and suppressed Cunxiao have been wiped out, Li Ji and others in Yuwu City will probably retreat!"

I have already received the news. How could Li Ji and others, who are from the Tang Dynasty, not know?

Baiqisi of the Tang Dynasty was the most secretive and powerful espionage agency under Li Shimin.

For a long time, people have only heard the name of Baiqisi, but they have never seen the form of Baiqisi!

This intelligence agent hiding in the darkness is gathering everything that happened in Datang into Li Shimin's hands bit by bit.

This is also the reason why Li Shimin was able to verify 90% of Tianqi Hidden Dragon personnel in the first place.

This seemingly enlightened and enthusiastic Tang Empire was actually under the control of Li Shimin!

"What Fengxiao said is absolutely true!"

Guo Jia's words reminded Cheng Mu, who came back from his joy and ordered: "Guan Aiqing, I ordered the army to conquer Yuwu City!"

"It's like the enemy troops are in retreat and their corpses are floating thousands of miles away!"

Now every time a soldier of the Tang Empire is killed, a piece of the Tang Dynasty's national fortune can be reduced.

Therefore, since the war started, Cheng Mu has not been merciful. Even if he is a prisoner, he rarely surrenders.

Now, the most important thing is to do everything possible to reduce the strength of the Tang Empire.

Want to bulldoze the huge Tang Empire? This is still a bit difficult for Cheng Mu!

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Guan Hai knelt down excitedly and thanked him.

In the battles of the past few days, Di Ri's Yaman army and the ruthless Sword Soul army had already killed the enemy.

In addition, Li Cunxiao won the top spot! As the Minister of War, Guan Hai was naturally a little anxious.

As the boss of many military generals, the Minister of War, if he, Guan Hai, cannot achieve results, it will be shameful to spread the word.

"Go for it!"

Cheng Mu waved his hand. Time was pressing and Guan Hai needed to make a quick decision.

Although Li Cunxiao annihilated one million Shenwu troops and one million Xue Jiajun, the harvest would not be perfect without the strongest.

Therefore, he must work hard to supervise. At least one of Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, and Wang Xuance must stay here.

Only in this way will Li Shimin feel distressed!

...

Yuwucheng.

The south gate of the city opened secretly with a creak.

In order to evacuate safely, Li Ji did not hesitate to put all the torches on the city wall.

Under the light of the fire, countless straw men wearing iron helmets leaned on the city wall and acted like soldiers standing guard.

In the dim night, even the sentry with the best eyesight cannot distinguish it immediately.

"A man has a title, and a horse has his hooves bound!"

Li Ji ordered in a low voice. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he was so embarrassed.

The last time a man had a title and a horse bound his hooves, he led his army to attack the enemy camp at night.

But now, the sneaky retreat is really a bit miserable.

"Don't be discouraged, everyone. We are only retreating temporarily. We will fight to the death with the enemy after arriving at the Anbei Protectorate!"

Cheng Yaojin was trying to stabilize the morale of the army. He believed that an overnight retreat would cause dissatisfaction among his soldiers.
