Seeing the return of the envoys from the Black Abyss.
Displeasure flashed across Guo Tong's eyes.
Given the other party's strength.
After breaking the formation, they should have immediately killed Ju Dongyi and swept away the experts in Taishan City, giving them an advantage in taking over Taishan City.
But they returned immediately after breaking the formation.
From beginning to end.
It was only one move.
Although this kind of strength shocked Guo Tong, it also made him very dissatisfied.
But —
The other party was not part of the army. When Marquis Qianshan sent them to follow the army, he understood that although he was the commander of the army, he could not order them around.
"I admire the strength of the envoys from the Black Abyss!" Guo Tong said first, then said, "Please help me hold the line. I will go and meet the Lord of Taishan City."
After he finished speaking.
He did not wait for the two to reply. He directly left the demon's back and headed towards Taishan City.
"This General Guo seems to be dissatisfied!"
"So what if he's dissatisfied? If it wasn't for that person, he would be nothing."
"I wonder how the other cities are doing."
"Don't worry. The twelve envoys are enough to sweep them all," the envoys from the Black Abyss said proudly.
When Dongfang vomited white from his belly.
This news had already shocked the entire Thousand Mountains Prefecture.
Bang!!
A palm landed heavily, and the armrest instantly turned to dust. Yan Caizhe stood up from his seat. His eyes were cold.
"Six hours. In just six hours, we have lost eleven cities and more than a million soldiers. We even lost fifteen God Martial Realm cultivators."
"But you only found out about this now. Is the Imperial Court feeding you for nothing?"
"You didn't even notice when Gu Changqing mobilized more than a million soldiers. Is this how a general of the Great Zhao Dynasty is supposed to be?"
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. In the end, Yan Caizhe's voice turned into a roar.
The losses this time.
It was not a serious injury, but it was definitely not good.
Not many of the million soldiers died at Marquis Qianshan's hands. Most of them were forced to surrender and become part of the rebel forces.
Under this situation.
The Imperial Court suffered even more.
Other than that.
The death of fifteen God Martial Realm cultivators pained Yan Caizhe even more.
The God Martial Arts Realm was different from other realms.
It would take far too much time to nurture a great cultivator of the God Martial Realm.
Such an expert.
Every one of them was worthy of the Imperial Court's attention.
Many people had ugly expressions when they heard Yan Caizhe's roar. However, they snorted disdainfully in their hearts.
They didn't receive any news.
The other party didn't receive any news either.
Now that Gu Changqing had taken a big bite out of them, no one could escape the responsibility.
However — —
After all, Yan Caizhe was the main commander this time. If the other party wanted to vent his anger by shirking responsibility, they would just listen and let it pass.
After a while.
Yan Caizhe returned to his seat. He looked at Ke Yucheng and said, "Gu Changqing made the first move. What do you think, General Ke?" Ke Yucheng looked at Yan Caizhe.
"Gu Changqing must have received news of Sect Master Qin's arrival. He wants to strike first." Ke Yucheng glanced at Qin Shujian, who was sitting on the side.
On the other hand, the other party sat there motionlessly, not reacting to his words at all.
"Although we lost eleven cities this time and lost a lot of strength, we didn't really suffer any serious injuries. Our elite forces are still unaffected."
"Now that Gu Changqing has just lost eleven cities, it must not be completely stable. I suggest we send troops immediately and take back all the lost cities in one fell swoop."
"At the same time, Gu Changqing's real trump card is the two Array Masters. Therefore, I also hope that Grand Master Qin and Grand Master Ming can take action and break the Heaven and Earth Lock Formation in Thousand Mountains Prefecture in one fell swoop."
Ke Yucheng said in a deep voice.
Previously, Gu Changqing had sent people to set up the Heaven and Earth Lock Formation in half of Thousand Mountains Prefecture. As a result, the area inside the formation was full of rebels. It was like an iron bucket.
It also made the Imperial Court's army advance.
It was easy to fall into a state of isolation and helplessness.
Therefore, in his opinion, it was imperative to break the formation.
After he finished speaking.
Ming Jingshan shook his head and said, "Back then, in order to set up the Heaven Sealing Earth Locking Formation, Gu Changqing spent an unknown amount of time to set up this formation that encompasses half of the prefecture. Now, if we want to simply break the formation, we will need quite some time.
"Based on the current situation, Gu Changqing won't give us so much time to break the formation step by step."
"Not to mention, the two Array Masters are still here. They won't just let us break the formation."
It was not easy to break the formation.
Others might know how powerful the Heaven and Earth Lock Formation was, but only Array Masters like Ming Jingshan really knew what kind of methods were needed to set up such a large formation.
It was difficult to set up a formation!
It was even more difficult to break the formation!
Even if Qin Shujian joined forces, he was still not confident.
At this moment.
Yan Caizhe said, "We can put the matter of breaking the formation aside for now. What we need to do now is just as General Ke said. Gu Changqing has just taken down eleven cities. The situation in the cities is definitely unstable."
"Therefore, I suggest that we immediately mobilize the troops and horses to take back all the lost cities."
"In addition …"
"Issue the corresponding missions to the mutants in the territory and let them follow the army. When the time comes, our army can also reduce some casualties."
After all, the mutants would not die.
When the time comes, give them some benefits and let them charge and break through the enemy lines. They could just be meat targets.
Yan Caizhe did not think of relying on the mutants to win.
What he wanted to do.
He just wanted the mutants to replace the casualties of the original soldiers. The real charge and break through the enemy lines still depended on his own people to conquer the cities.
On the other side.
When Qin Shujian heard Yan Caizhe's words, he also turned his head and looked at the other party.
In the other party's words.
He already had a good understanding of the players.
He was also digging into the advantages of this race.
This also proved that the players were slowly integrating into this world and were beginning to be valued by various forces.
"We will follow your orders!" The other generals also cupped their hands and accepted the order.
After that.
Yan Caizhe looked at Qin Shujian and Ming Jingshan and said, "This time, I will have to trouble the two of you to follow the army."
Hearing this, Qin Shujian and Ming Jingshan looked at each other and cupped their hands and replied, "We will follow your orders!"
In the Thousand Mountains Prefecture.
The imperial court was led by Yan Caizhe.
The other party's words were absolute orders. No one could easily disobey. Otherwise, it would be a great crime of rebellion. The other party also had the right to act first and report later.
Therefore.
When Yan Caizhe was exercising his rights as the main general, even Ming Jingshan, who had a strong background and was an Array Grandmaster, could not disobey the other party's words.
Otherwise, once the news spread.
Even the Ming family.
They would be affected.
After the order was given.
With Yong Chang City as the center, all the cities received the same order. Then, they directly deployed their troops and sent them to the lost cities.
The expected war did not break out.
When the imperial court's army arrived, Marquis Qianshan's army had already retreated, leaving behind a scene of devastation.
Most of the valuable things in the city had been plundered.
Except for the civilians.
The Eleven Cities had become an empty city.
Of course.
The reason why they did not touch the civilians was not because Gu Changqing was soft-hearted. It was because the other party understood that they could not touch the civilians easily.
If they massacred the entire city.
If their tyrannical reputation spread, the civilians would definitely be fearful. It would not be good for their rule. Once they attacked other cities, they would definitely be met with resistance.
Except for that.
In Gu Changqing's eyes.
The Thousand Mountains Prefecture was still his territory.
Even the cities that had fallen into the hands of the imperial court should belong to him.
If they massacred the civilians.
In the future, when he took over the entire Thousand Mountains Prefecture, half of the prefecture would be dead.
It was like killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.
Gu Changqing would not do that.
"Everyone has contributed greatly to the capture of the eleven cities. However, now that the war has not ended, I will record your contributions for now. When I take over the Thousand Mountains Prefecture in the future, I will definitely reward you according to your contributions."
Marquis Qianshan had a smile on his face. Obviously, he was in a good mood.
They had captured the eleven cities in one night.
Not only had they obtained hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war, but they had also plundered a large amount of silver from the forces in the cities.
These gains.
Soon, they could be converted into their own strength.
Under this situation, one side was weakened while the other side was strengthened.
The gap between him and the imperial court had shrunk by a lot.
Bu Tianhua cupped his hands and said, "Marquis, we have abandoned the eleven cities. Now, Yan Caizhe must have sent people to take over. Now, the people in the eleven cities are not stable. The original defenders have all died.
Under such circumstances, the other party is more likely to consolidate the eleven cities first.
I suggest that we attack the eleven cities again tonight. Yan Caizhe will not expect that we will immediately go back after abandoning the cities. "
At this point.
A cruel smile appeared on Bu Tianhua's face. "When that time comes, our gains will not be much less than today's."
After he finished speaking.
Immediately, someone agreed. "Military Advisor Bu is right. Yan Caizhe will not expect us to go back. When we kill the defenders in the cities, the Great Zhao's power will be further weakened.
When that time comes, even if they don't attack us, we can completely destroy them. "
"Last night, Yan Caizhe lost a million soldiers. Although our army suffered some losses, we didn't suffer many losses because of the captives. If we come again this time, Great Zhao's strength in Thousand Mountains Prefecture will definitely be damaged."
"That's right. I agree with Military Advisor Bu's suggestion."
Looking at the many generals below who agreed.
Marquis Qianshan pondered.
It had to be said.
Bu Tianhua's words were indeed the best solution.
According to the intelligence he had obtained, Yan Caizhe had at most twenty million soldiers. If they went back and forth like this, the other party would lose at least ten percent of their strength.
One should not think that ten percent of their strength was not much.
Compared to the other party's overall strength.
This was the loss of two million soldiers.
Furthermore — —
His own strength was not much different from Yan Caizhe's. Now that the distance had been shortened, it was enough to meet the other party head on.
