"Do we have to do this? We still have 200,000 soldiers, we might be able to fight. "Di Chen could not make a decision. If they retreated now, they would be like stray dogs.
If they retreated now, the Yan Huang Alliance would become the laughingstock of the world. The prestige that they had painstakingly accumulated before this would plummet because of this battle, and all of it would be reduced to zero.
"How do we fight?" Xiong Ba shook his head. "The enemy's four field armies are charging towards Wenshan City, especially the Tiger Leopard Cavalry. Once the Tiger Leopard Cavalry breaks into the city and destroys the teleportation formation, we'll end up like Zhao Kuo, trapped by Bai Qi. When that time comes, no one will be able to escape. "
"… …"
Although Xiong Ba's words were frightening, the others could not refute him.
"Then let's retreat!"
Lord Chunshen was the first to express his stance. He had already lost Zhao Kuo, he did not want to lose Tian Dan as well.
Just as Di Chen and the others were about to express their stance, a cold voice came from the side. "None of you will be able to leave."
He turned his head and saw that the one who spoke was Qin Fen, the chairman of the city-state who had lost all face.
"What did you say?" Di Chen could not react.
A trace of madness flashed across Qin Feng's face. His voice rose several octaves. "I said, none of you will be able to leave. We signed an agreement that the Yan Huang Alliance must help the city to repel the army of Shanhai City. For this, the city has already paid a heavy price, there is no way out. What? Once the battle is not going well, you want to leave and leave behind a mess? How can there be such a good thing in the world!!! "
Responding to Qin Feng, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed up the city walls, surrounding Di Chen and the members of the Yan Huang Alliance. Seeing this, Di Chen and the other personal guards drew their swords and confronted the soldiers.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
Wenshan City was, after all, the home ground of the city. Qin Feng's words still carried a lot of weight.
All the city lords present agreed with Qin Fen's words and approved of Qin Fen's decision to mobilize the soldiers. As a result, Di Chen and the others were immediately in danger.
The two forces that were originally working together suddenly turned against each other and went their separate ways.
Di Chen and the others' expressions changed, but they didn't panic.
Currently, Wenshan City's garrison was divided into two groups. One group was the lord's personal guards, numbering around seven thousand people. The other group was Wenshan City's City Guard Division.
Of the 7000 personal guards, Di Chen and the other members of the [Yan Huang Alliance] had 500 people each, making up exactly half of the total. The remaining half were naturally the personal guards of the city's lords.
Thus, the one who truly determined the difference in military strength between the two sides was the City Guard Division stationed in the city. Whoever controlled the City Guard Division would have the initiative.
Qin Feng didn't even think about it and naturally put the City Guard Division into the City Faction.
Because of this, Qin Feng was full of confidence.
It could only be said that Qin Fen was still too young and had underestimated Di Chen and the others.
Di Chen laughed and said to Qin Fen sarcastically, "Do you really think you can defeat us?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of Wenshan City, Hao Hu Yu Feng, suddenly stood up and stood beside Di Chen and the others. His intention was obvious.
"Vast Call to Imperial Wind, you dare!!!"
The city lords were shocked and couldn't believe that Hao Hu Yu Feng would suddenly betray them.
However, Hao Hu Yu Feng laughed and said, "Can't you see? The city is already finished. Don't tell me that I still have to stay on this broken ship and sink with you? "
"That's right, a wise man submits to circumstances." Di Chen took over and smiled at the city lords opposite him, "If you retreat with us, you can still live a glorious life. If you continue to resist, you'll have nothing left. "
Time was of the essence and Di Chen didn't want to waste any more time.
When the city lords saw this, their expressions were bitter and they didn't say anything. They brought their guards and left the city walls. Looking at the situation, they were preparing to directly teleport away. They no longer had any confidence in this battle.
They were tired!
There were also city lords who arranged for their personal guards to go to the frontlines in an attempt to recall their territory's generals.
These outstanding generals were all worth tens of thousands of gold coins. Even if they lost their territory, they could still transfer these generals to other city lords and earn a large sum of money.
At the very least, they could keep them by their side as bodyguards.
With the fourth system update and the release of the expansion pack [Martial World Storm], Royal City wasn't peaceful anymore. If they wanted to live comfortably, they not only needed money, but also strong guards.
"Clang!"
The long sword fell to the ground.
Qin Fen looked at his allies gradually disappearing. His face was pale, like a poor abandoned worm.
When Di Chen and the others saw this, they no longer wanted to punish Qin Fen. They shook their heads and led their troops away from the city walls. At the same time, urgent orders were passed to the frontlines.
Wu Qi and Tian Dan were ordered to gather 100,000 of the alliance's backbone generals and immediately leave the battlefield. Lian Po was ordered to lead his troops back to the city to fight against the Tiger Leopard Cavalry that was about to arrive.
The west gate was ordered to be closed and the City Guard Division was stationed on the city walls to resist the enemy Tiger Leopard Cavalry.
Di Chen and the others were now in a race against time.
As the military orders were passed down, panic was inevitable.
Before the city lords left, they tried to recall their generals. The generals of the alliance who were fighting on the frontlines were at a loss.
Even Zhang Xutuo received the news. His face was extremely ugly.
The alliance inevitably fell into chaos. Some left, while others waited in place, listening to Zhang Xutuo, the commander of the alliance.
The wilderness generals weren't puppets. Everyone had independent thoughts.
From the looks of it, the city had completely surrendered. If they returned to their masters now, what good ending would they have? They would either be sold or become guards.
To these generals, it was an extreme humiliation no matter which one it was.
Soldiers shouldn't end up like this.
Zhang Xutuo looked at the generals gathered around him and sighed in his heart. He said in a low voice, "Since the Lord has summoned us, as generals, how can we disobey the military order?!"
Even in the wilderness, Zhang Xutuo still put "loyalty" first. No matter how irrational the Lord's order was, Zhang Xutuo still didn't want to disobey.
When the generals heard this, they all had different expressions.
At this moment, a young general spoke up. He said with emotion, "General, the Lord's action is clearly a betrayal to the soldiers on the frontlines. The lords have summoned us generals back not because of any camaraderie, but because we are valuable and can bring them benefits. If we leave, what will happen to the soldiers under us? Will they be slaughtered by the enemy?! The lords don't care about the lives of their soldiers, but as generals, can we watch our children die in vain? General, you value small things over great things. Forgive me for not agreeing with you. "
"You're right. General, instead of this, it's better to lead the troops and surrender to Shanhai City. In the wilderness, Shanhai City was famous for its generous treatment of its soldiers. The Lord, the Duke of Shanhai, has the support of the entire army. As the saying goes, take a step back and you'll see the world. Since the lords have abandoned us, why don't we seek a better future for the soldiers under us? That way, it's better than dying in vain. "Someone echoed.
Hearing this, the expressions of the generals changed.
Zhang Xutuo's expression was complicated. On one hand, he had to be loyal to the Lord, and on the other hand, he had to sacrifice the lives of thousands of soldiers. When the two were incompatible, Zhang Xutuo, a veteran general, didn't know how to choose.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the frontlines.
Looking over, a group of cavalry suddenly rushed out of the Xiang Dragon Barracks, holding the golden flag of Shanhai City, indicating that they were just ambassadors.
The news of Wen Shan City being surrounded by Shanhai City's army had only spread among a small portion of the soldiers. Some of the soldiers didn't even know about it and were still attacking the barracks.
This group of cavalry was really bold.
If they were careless, they could be captured by the allied army and die a horrible death.
Fortunately, Zhang Xutuo and the other generals received the news and immediately sent a small group of cavalry over. In a short while, the cavalry arrived in front of Zhang Xutuo and the other generals.
"Shua —" Under the lead of the chief general, a hundred cavalrymen got off their horses.
"Who are you?" A deputy general asked.
The chief general took off his helmet, revealing a handsome face. It was Luo Shixin.
Zhang Xutuo's eyes narrowed when he saw him and he sighed. At first glance, Zhang Xutuo could tell that the young general had completely grown up.
In history, when Luo Shixin was captured and died, Zhang Xutuo was filled with grief.
Who would have thought that the two of them would meet again.
Luo Shixin was obviously excited as well, he quickly walked in front of Zhang Xutuo and cupped his fists, "Shixin greets Marshal." However, he used the title he used in history.
Of course, the two of them were serving different masters and Luo Shixin couldn't kneel down on one knee to greet them.
Zhang Xutuo's expression was cold and he said with a straight face, "Are you here to ask us to surrender?" He was still the marshal of the allied army and naturally, he had to show the proper attitude.
Luo Shixin was not surprised when he saw this. Marshal En was such a person. As long as it was related to official matters, there was no mercy to speak of. It was absolute business.
"I'm afraid that Marshal En isn't very clear about the current situation."
Luo Shixin said and told him about the situation of the four armies surrounding Wen Shan City.
The faces of the allied army's generals darkened when they heard this.
Luo Shixin even found out about the drama that had taken place on the city gate tower and exposed it one by one. Even Zhang Xutuo was embarrassed when he heard this.
What was going on?
Luo Shixin naturally wasn't here to embarrass the generals of the allied army. He cupped his fists and said, "Marshal En, generals, my lord and General Bai Qi have asked me to pass on a message. The gates of Shanhai City are already open for all of you. As long as the allied army is willing to surrender, the blood debt from before can be written off. After entering Shanhai City, we are all brothers. "
The allied army's generals were moved when they heard this and became even more determined to surrender.
Luo Shixin looked at Zhang Xutuo and said, "Marshal En, what do you think? Shixin is very much looking forward to fighting with Marshal En on the battlefield again and not against you like now. "
