Chapter 1208 Blitz Tianluo (2)
"The Qin army, the Qin army is attacking."
At this moment, in the dilapidated Tianluo Fortress, I felt the shaking of the earth and saw the blood cloud swept from the end of the sky.
After coming to observe the position of the collapsed city wall, the dozen or so remaining soldiers of the defending army immediately let out hysterical roars, their voices full of shock and panic.
"The Qin army is attacking, the whole army is preparing for war...preparing for war..."
One pass ten, ten pass one hundred, the news of the Qin army's attack soon spread in Tianluo Fortress.
After learning this news, the three supreme powerhouses who were furious in their hearts immediately issued an order to prepare for the battle.
However, after three rounds of terrifying naval artillery strikes by the Qin fleet, the Tianluo defenders lost more than one million in battle, and most of the remaining fighting spirit was destroyed.
Before the three high-level officials ordered to prepare for the battle, hundreds of thousands of defenders had already fled along the collapsed city wall.
And it's getting worse over time.
By the time the three high-level officials gave the order, more than one million Tianluo defenders had fled without a fight.
Seeing this situation, some guards with strict military discipline also tried to stop it, but they were all scattered in chaos, and there were even tragedies such as cannibalism in some places.
The scene is chaotic, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and there will be no fighting spirit. Tianluo Fortress has begun to collapse from all aspects, and it is getting closer and closer to complete collapse.
...
"General, the situation is chaotic now, and the ministries do not obey orders and flee privately."
"Up to now, more than 1.2 million troops have fled without fighting, and our army has become unprecedentedly weak. It is unwise to fight head-on with the Qin army at this moment."
In the center of Tianluo Fortress, more than half of the Chinese army command post has collapsed.
A deputy general of the Supreme Realm said, and the words were full of urgency.
However, it is also normal. Before, there are Qin troops approaching step by step, and then millions of troops flee without a fight. In this situation, everyone is anxious.
"How many soldiers are there now?"
Hearing the words of the lieutenant general, the main general of Tianluo Fortress subconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said.
"General Qi, in the original formation attack of the Qin army, we had already lost 1.4 million troops. Now, more than 1.2 million troops have fled without a fight. It can be said that the loss is heavy."
"Up to now, there are still about 2.3 million troops capable of fighting."
"But this is only the data on the surface, because the army's flight is happening all the time, and the final commander doesn't know how many soldiers there are in the real situation."
"But what is certain is that even if there are still two million troops left in Tianluo Fortress, it is impossible to fight against the Qin army when the city wall is destroyed and morale is low."
"The situation is unprecedentedly critical, and the final commander suggested that the general withdraw his troops."
Hearing the commander's question, the lieutenant replied.
Although it was only a military intelligence question and answer, the urgent situation revealed in the words was enough to shock and terrify everyone present.
"As a general of the army, it may not be appropriate for me to retreat rashly. If the above blames me, I may not be able to bear it."
Just when everyone's thoughts were different, the main general of Tianluo Fortress said this.
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.
Because they knew that the general was letting go.
Now that you have let go, is it still far from making a decision?
All we need now is their cooperation! !
"General, now the Qin army is powerful, and the means of attack are endless. In addition, the source of the army is complicated, and it is difficult to truly obey the orders. This is not a crime of war."
"Now that the fortress has been destroyed, our biggest reliance on blocking the Qin army has disappeared. If we continue to choose to confront the Qin army head-on, there is basically no second possibility except for the entire army to be wiped out."
"If I wait and choose to withdraw, although I will be charged with fleeing without a fight, at least part of the army's strength can be preserved. I believe the above will not embarrass me too much for this."
"The situation is urgent, please make a quick decision, General."
The lieutenant persuaded me earnestly, and more than a dozen generals of the surrounding army followed suit and said, "Please make a quick decision, general."
Hearing the generals' words, although the general had already made a decision in his heart, he still had some concerns and hesitations.
"Report to the generals that the Qin army is advancing very fast. Now it is only a thousand miles away from the city wall. It is expected that it will advance under the fortress after a stick of incense."
At this moment, several defenders came here and said, and all the worries in the heart of the main general of Tianluo Fortress were immediately dispelled.
"I can't handle that much anymore. I ordered the army to retreat across the board. I can withdraw as much as I can."
Hearing this, the main general of Tianluo Fortress made a decisive decision and issued an order to retreat.
"As ordered!"
Hearing the words of the main general, more than a dozen defending generals cupped their hands and said, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief.
They had already thought about it before, if the general was stubborn, and he was determined to fight Qin Jun to the end.
Then they will never choose to obey, and will only lead their troops and horses to quietly withdraw while the situation is chaotic after leaving here.
Now that the Lord will order a retreat, this is already the best outcome in their opinion.
The order was conveyed, and all Tianluo defenders began to retreat.
In fact, there is no need for an order, because many troops have withdrawn on their own, and the arrival of the withdrawal order only makes their unauthorized withdrawal into a legal withdrawal.
But even so, the retreat of the army was extremely chaotic.
There were neither guards to block nor flank cover, and it was completely backward running, which directly caused a considerable number of stampede congestion incidents.
In this case, the Qin army's sword was getting closer and closer.
…
"Legion Commander, the situation seems to be a little bad. The defenders of Tianluo Fortress have begun to fully retreat."
Outside the ruins, in the vast wilderness, in the rolling wave of black armor only a few hundred miles away from the ruins, an imperial major general Meng Ao who descended from the sky reported.
"No, the defenders are going to flee."
"If the order goes on, the army will immediately enter the air marching state, and the fleeing enemy must be intercepted."
Hearing the words of the major general of the empire, Meng Ao ordered.
Although in the eyes of ordinary people, it is excellent to win a strategic location without any cost, but this is not the case for these Qin army futures.
Originally, most of the credit was taken away by the navy. Now, if the military merits of these walks are released, then the three titled corps will not need to mix.
That's why Meng Ao was so urgent and wanted to block the main defenders before they could finish their retreat.
"promise!"
Hearing the command of the legion commander, the imperial major general said this, and finally conveyed the order.
In less than a while, all the ministries under the Golden Fire Cavalry received orders.
Immediately, it entered the state of the Royal Air March, and began to speed up the attack on the Tianluo Fortress.
Not only that, in addition to Meng'ao's golden fire cavalry, Wang Jian's Hundred Battles Armor Piercer and Zhang Han's prisoner army were the same.
The three armies advanced side by side, and in less than half an hour of incense sticks, the three major titled corps transformed into the Tianluo Fortress.
As the three major armies invaded the Tianluo Fortress, this strategic location in the border area between the central and northern parts of the Tianluo Continent fell into the hands of the Qin army.
Even if millions of defenders rose up to resist, this result could not be undone.
