The Deputy Commander-In-Chief fell silent. He did not know if he should advance or retreat now that the reinforcements from Mount Wu Lai were about to arrive.
If they chose to continue attacking the city, they would not be able to take down Sun Moon City before the reinforcements from Mount Wu Lai arrived.
If they chose to give up on attacking the city and fight the reinforcements from behind, they would have fewer and fewer troops. Now that so many soldiers had appeared on the city walls, they had suffered significant losses. This was getting more and more disadvantageous for them.
"Commander-In-Chief, perhaps we can only try our luck and fight the reinforcements from Mount Wu Lai behind us!" The Deputy Commander-In-Chief thought about it. The current situation was clearly not suitable for attacking the city.
Moreover, even if they managed to take down the city, the enemy troops behind them would have already arrived. They would probably be killed before they could even enter the city.
"Hmph! Are you messing with me? You were the one who said that you wanted to attack the city, and now you are telling me that you want to fight them head-on. Do you know how many Underworld soldiers I have lost because of your suggestion? "The Governor's face began to contort when he heard the Deputy Commander-In-Chief's suggestion again.
This fellow's words were really infuriating. When he said that he wanted to fight his way out of the encirclement, he said that he wanted to attack the city. Now that they were halfway through attacking the city, he said that he wanted to fight the enemy troops head-on. Did he think that he was playing house?
"Sir, I know that it is too late to say anything now, but the war is constantly changing, and we cannot predict everything. The reason I thought that we could attack the city was because they did not have enough troops to defend the city.
However, now that so many soldiers have suddenly appeared, we will lose more than we gain if we attack the city. Therefore, I hope that you can trust me again. We can only break through the encirclement now! "the Deputy Commander-In-Chief said solemnly.
Naturally, he did not want to see such a situation happen, but he had no other choice. Mount Wu Lai was too cunning. They had actually pretended to be weak and deliberately let them attack the city in order to continuously deplete their troops.
Just when they thought that the other side was empty, so many soldiers appeared, which completely ruined their plan.
Fortunately, he still had 80,000 to 90,000 soldiers left. If they charged out with such strength, their chances of survival were relatively high.
"Sir, we can't attack the city anymore. Let's retreat quickly. Otherwise, we'll be caught in a pincer attack!" The Deputy Commander-In-Chief reminded again.
Now that the enemy's reinforcements were about to arrive, if they fought with the reinforcements of Mount Wu Lai outside the city gates, they would definitely not be at an advantage. This was because the defenders of Sun Yin City could easily attack them.
Therefore, they had to retreat first and fight the reinforcements from Mount Wulai far away from the city gates. That would be more beneficial to their safety.
"Retreat! Everyone, retreat! " Although the Viceroy was furious, he had no other choice but to let them retreat.
The Netherworld Army received the order, and the eighty to ninety thousand soldiers retreated like a receding tide. However, they did not retreat very far. Mount Wu Lai's reinforcements had already arrived.
"Kill! Kill everyone in the Underworld! " The Governor of Mount Wulai's reinforcements bellowed. The ghost soldiers behind him charged towards the Army of the Underworld.
"Kill! We'll be able to return alive if we break out of the encirclement! "The Governor of the Underworld did not want to be outdone as he roared loudly.
At this point, they were already very lucky to be able to survive.
However, the Nether Army had suffered several defeats, which brought a lot of negative emotions to the Nether Army. Their morale was already very low.
In addition, the Army of Mount Wu Lai's reinforcements were in high spirits. Their military strength was almost twice as large as theirs. Even with the Governor's constant encouragement, they did not have much confidence.
Therefore, the Army of the Underworld seemed especially weak in the battle between the two armies. They were already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Now that more and more Army of the Underworld was being killed, the Underworld's situation was worsening.
"Everyone, kill! We must break out of the encirclement! "At this point, even the Governor had no choice but to take action.
If they did not take action now, they might not even have the chance to do so. However, the Ghost Kings of Mount Wu Lai had long noticed the experts among the Army of the Underworld. Therefore, a few dozen Ghost Kings surrounded the group of Ghost Kings from the Underworld.
"Kill! Everyone, follow this Governor and kill our way out of the city! "At this moment, the Governor of Sun Moon City had also killed their way out of the city.
For a moment, the Army of the Underworld was even more vulnerable. Just like that, a large number of Army of the Underworld were killed by the Ghost Soldiers of Mount Wu Lai.
"The heavens want me dead!" The Governor of the Underworld had a sorrowful expression. He knew that he had completely lost this time.
Now that the Ghost Kings of Mount Wu Lai had surrounded them, they had nowhere to run. They could only fight to the death.

Not far away from the battle between the two armies stood a group of figures. They had witnessed the entire battle with their own eyes.
"I didn't expect that Mount Wu Lai was so smart. With the current situation, the defeat of the Underworld is an unchangeable fact!" Xin He looked at the battle and could not help but sigh.
"Indeed. Previously, I was still wondering why they didn't enter the city even though they had already arrived at Sun Moon City. Now, it seems like they wanted to buy time for the other 150,000 reinforcements. At the same time, they were able to continuously exhaust the Army of the Underworld. Now, they have indeed succeeded. "Cheng Yu said.
They had already heard about the news of the 50,000 reinforcements. However, they realized that the troops had been hiding outside the East Gate and had not entered the city.
They did not understand their intentions previously but now, they understood their intentions.
"That's because the Army of the Underworld is too stupid. If they hadn't underestimated Mount Wu Lai and used such a small number of troops to attack the city, they would not have ended up in such a state. I'm afraid they would have already conquered Sun Moon City!" Xin Hai said disapprovingly.
"Although part of this is due to the arrogance of the Army of the Underworld, it's not entirely the case. Because after attacking the city, they still need to consider the garrison. Therefore, they naturally hoped to use the least number of troops to attack the city. This way, they could guarantee that they would have enough troops to defend the city after entering the city.
Because Mount Wu Lai's military strength was limited, they should also know that there were only 70,000 troops in Sun Moon City. In addition to the four city gates, there were not many troops at the North Gate.
Therefore, they felt that they did not need too many troops to attack Sun Moon City. However, they had underestimated the ability of Mount Wu Lai and the defense of Sun Moon City. After repeatedly failing to attack the city, the losses were huge!
