The eastern side's six regions had allied together, with 21 main cities and 3.1 million soldiers. They had only set up simple security lines and had not set up any defenses, as they were quite confident in their strength.
This was indeed the truth. Ninety percent of the 3.1 million soldiers were Stage 1 soldiers, and with this strength, who would be a match for them? Their strength was truly terrifying.
Qin now had 3.8 million soldiers, and even though they had more soldiers than the eastern side, they had fewer Stage 1 soldiers. Zhao Fu did not plan to directly attack, as that would result in heavy casualties.
Zhao Fu and the other Generals had long since discussed this and come up with a strategy.
…
"Crap! That force has brought troops to attack! " Alarms sounded out in the six regions. The eastern side was not too surprised, as they had long since been prepared for this day. However, they had never expected the other side to attack so quickly.
The six regions' soldiers quickly gathered, and the six regions' City Lords quickly gathered together. A valiant-looking big man hurriedly asked, "How many soldiers do they have? How many City Lords? "
A City Lord who had received news of this gave a relaxed smile and said, "At most, they have two million or less. Only 60% of them are Stage 1 soldiers, and the others haven't even reached Stage 1 yet. There are only 12 City Lords, so we have a great advantage."
Hearing this City Lord's words, the other City Lords felt slightly relieved. This was a force that they could deal with, and if nothing unexpected happened, they would definitely win.
However, with such a powerful force, a single region definitely would not be able to stop them. However, things were different if they allied together.
"Their two million soldiers are being led by 12 City Lords, and they're marching towards the east. What should we do?" A City Lord asked.
The valiant-looking big man said loudly, "Let's gather our forces and defeat them in one fell swoop. We have 3.1 million soldiers and 21 City Lords, so there's no need to be afraid. Victory will definitely be ours!"
Most of the City Lords nodded, agreeing with what he said. On the surface, they had the advantage.
However, some people were still worried, and an elderly man said, "I think we should just defend and wait for them to attack. That way, we'll have an even greater advantage. I feel that something is off – even though this faction's strength is quite terrifying, I think they might have some other trump cards up their sleeves.
"They know that we're allied together and have a rough idea of our strength. They definitely wouldn't send two million soldiers and 12 City Lords to their deaths, so they must have some other method!"
Hearing this, the others thought about it and felt that it made sense, so they started to hesitate.
The burly man didn't seem to mind as he said, "Perhaps they think that two million soldiers can defeat us. I don't believe that, as they're more powerful than all six of our regions combined. What's more, we don't have any walls to defend, and we don't have any good places to defend, while they're already marching in."
"We can temporarily set up some defenses, but our forces are gathered here. If we don 'forces and they attack other regions, what should we do? We've gathered all of our soldiers here, and the system main cities don't have many soldiers, so we won't be able to stop them. "
What he said made sense, and the City Lords fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, another City Lord thought of something and said, "How about we form a defensive formation and prevent them from turning to other regions? Moreover, we'll focus on defense and won't take the initiative to attack. That way, no matter what they do, we'll be prepared, and a defensive formation will be quite effective. What do you all think?"
This method ensured that they could attack and focus on defense. Coupled with the advantage in numbers, many people agreed with this idea. The old man and the big man who had raised the question before also agreed.
Following this, the eastern side's army formed a square-shaped formation with a large number of Shieldbearers, a second row of Infantrymen, a third row of Archers, and a separate group of Cavalrymen.
On the battlefield, Cavalrymen were like sharp blades. Because of their horses, they could not use any formation, and they could only charge and break through, focusing on speed and destructive power.
The eastern side's army gave off a massive aura, and its austere aura shook the surrounding 1,000 kilometers. There were no sounds of birds or insects in the forest, and it was incredibly silent.
Qin's army also gave off a massive, heaven-shaking aura. Their expressions were all serious, and their footsteps sounded like thunder as they fearlessly advanced.
Soon!
The two armies clashed in this region, and the air instantly became heavy and oppressive. Even the wind seemed to give off a sharp aura.
Seeing the massive formation, Zhao Fu felt quite shocked. This formation looked quite powerful, and without enough momentum, it would be quite difficult to break through it.
At that moment, the eastern side's City Lords all gave off massive auras as they stood in the air. Qin's army also gave off powerful auras as they stood in the air.
The eastern side's army definitely would not attack first, and they would instead be cautious and wait for Zhao Fu to attack.
Zhao Fu could not help but laugh; he was not that stupid. If he used his two million soldiers to attack a formation formed by three million soldiers, it was possible that he would not be able to break through, and he would instead suffer heavy losses.
However, Zhao Fu's goal was to draw them out so that he could deal with them all at once, and he did not want to directly attack.
"Retreat!"
Zhao Fu gave the order, and the massive Qin army started to retreat.
The eastern side's City Lords felt quite surprised; they had never thought that Qin would retreat so easily. They had just met, and there had not even been a single battle, yet they had retreated. This was simply too cowardly!
The City Lords looked at each other, not knowing what to do. They had formed a formation and waited for Qin to attack, and they had been on guard against Qin. However, they had never thought that Qin would retreat so easily and not attack at all.
"What should we do now? Should we directly attack? Or should we stay here and defend, or should we retreat as well? " A City Lord asked the people around him.
"Of course we attack!" The battle-hungry big man said impatiently.
An elder watched as Qin retreated incredibly quickly and showed no signs of stopping. It was unlikely that he would turn around and attack them.
If the eastern side's army rushed up and attacked them from behind, it was likely that they would heavily injure them. He agreed with the big man's idea.
The other City Lords also felt the same, and there was nothing out of the ordinary, so they gave the order to attack.
