Although the declared enemy was stubbornly blocked by our river defense troops, they also landed at Linhe. They are now adjusting in Gannan in an attempt to expand the front line. It is expected that they will invade west of Gannan in three days.
In view of the unknown movement of Su Yi's troops of the Qin Army suddenly moving to fight on the northwest front, it is feared that the enemy's coalition forces will implement tactical interception after the city is conquered. Therefore, the fortresses outside the pass should be strategically transferred.
Order that our 80,000 soldiers on the center line abandon their baggage and retreat with light equipment. They must withdraw to Wuxia Pass on July 25th.
This is the highest military order sent from the Wuxia Customs Department of the Ghost Army.
The issuance of this order also announced that the ghost army was about to give up all territory outside Wuxia Pass.
For a time, the ghost armies outside the pass began to retreat one after another.
At this time, the Qin and Ling armies, which had finished clearing the northwest line, were indeed about to circle back to the center line to encircle them.
In order to cooperate with Qin Ling, Xuan Jun did the same.
A few days later, the middle line was on an important road leading to Wuxia Pass.
The ghost army had to pass here if they wanted to retreat from the front line, but because Urcha's order was issued in time, the Allies failed to stop the 80,000 ghost army in the end. Instead, the three parties happened to meet here.
It can be seen that the commanders-in-chief of the three countries, after studying the military maps, unanimously believed that interception was best here.
The Qin army was led by Lian Xiao, the Ling army was led by Ye Gui, and the Xuan army was led by Xie Hongling.
Because they had to rush around to attack the enemy, most of them also brought cavalry with them.
At present, the troops of the three parties joined forces one after another after giving signals.
Later, military information came, and Lian Xiao was the first to say: "It seems that we are a step too late. The ghost army has already planned to abandon its stronghold outside the pass."
"Yes, but this is good. We have completed the highest order of the Allied Forces Camp. Next, we will just have a decisive battle with the ghost army outside the Wuxia Pass." Xie Hongling said.
"It's just a pity that we couldn't annihilate all the enemy troops. Otherwise, in the decisive battle, we would have an even greater advantage in terms of military strength." Ye Guidao.
"There is nothing we can do about it. The ghost army is not a fool. It is impossible for them to wait for you to arrange the encirclement. If they cannot win, they must retreat to preserve their strength."
The three of them chatted for a while about the current situation, and then Xie Hongling said: "I'd better pass a message to Huang Shuai first."
After saying that, she glanced at the two of them subconsciously, only to find that they were both staring at her.
"What are you looking at?" Xie Hongling frowned slightly.
"No." Ye Gui looked away, and the old god said: "I heard that in the battle in Gannan, General Xie took the enemy general's head in the midst of thousands of troops. I don't know if it is true or not. Ye has been itching lately. I wonder if I can ask for advice. One or two.”
"Boring! I haven't seen you kill more ghost soldiers on the battlefield in this time!" Unexpectedly, Xie Hongling glared at him, turned around and left.
"This!" Ye Gui choked.
Lian Xiao, who was on the side, chuckled softly and said insinuatingly: "Haha, you still want to please others, but you have hit a snag, right?"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"You!" Ye Gui's face turned red.
The Allied forces won three victories, and the ghost tribe was forced to retreat to Wuxia Pass due to military pressure. At this point, the enemy's strategic plan to occupy the main transportation road outside the pass failed and they began to guard the pass.
A few days later, the main armies of the three countries arrived, and then marched straight into Jiuyuan along the central line.
Jiuyuan City is just outside Wuxia Pass, only sixty miles away. Although the army has not reached the pass, it can directly attack Shanyuguan from here.
At this time, the senior Allied generals gathered together and held a military discussion in the meeting hall.
At present, the war situation is clear, and the ghost army has all retreated to Wuxia Pass. The simplest and most effective way is for the army to approach the city and directly launch a strong attack. After breaking the pass, drive away the foreign enemies and recover the lost lands in the Central Plains one by one.
Everyone understands this truth, but who is going to fight it becomes a problem.
Even though the three commanders seemed to have a tacit understanding with each other before, once this happens, conflicts will definitely arise, which is inevitable.
Because the three of them have the same identity, there is no one who really gives orders.
In the hall, no one sat in the handsome seat directly above. Everyone gathered around the sand table.
Ling Commander Huang Zu took the lead and pointed at Wuxia Pass and said: "Now the ghost army is all huddled here and has abandoned all the fortresses outside the pass. In my opinion, if we want to continue our march, we must attack this pass."
What he said was nonsense. Yan Qi couldn't help but glance at him and said lukewarmly: "Okay, the Ling Army has always been brave and good at fighting. In my opinion, General Huang should take the lead for our allies. I believe it." You will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in one battle and strengthen the reputation of our allies."
"Haha." Huang Zu smiled, not angry at all, and said with a smile: "If we talk about being brave and good at fighting, they must be the soldiers of the Qin army. The world is called tigers and wolves, and it is not an empty lie. In difficult battles, I think it is justified. Only when the Qin army comes out can they attack everything."
Su Yi didn't speak, but habitually made a fist with his right hand, put it under his mouth, and coughed weakly.
However, Lian Xiao was not happy anymore: "What do you mean? Oh! Our soldiers are fighting bloody battles in front, and you are watching from behind!?"
"Haha, that's not what I meant..."
"That's not what you mean! Isn't that what you Lingjun meant? Stop doing this!" Lian Xiao spoke unceremoniously.
"That's right, Lingjun always likes to fish in troubled waters. This time, I'm afraid he has no good intentions." Xie Hongling echoed.
When Ye Gui heard this, his nose almost became angry: "Xuan Jun seems to be a peacemaker, but in fact, he has sinister intentions! He just wants to keep himself out of the matter!"
"What did you say!?" Xie Hongling was furious.
The three admirals began to argue.
The third commander fell silent.
Everyone knows that when the main force of the ghost army is gathered at Wuxia Pass, it will definitely be a fierce and bloody battle. Whoever goes up to fight will definitely suffer serious losses.
It was impossible for Huang Zu to listen to Su Yi, and it was impossible for Su Yi to listen to Yan Qi. The result of this military discussion would only be endless pushing and pushing.
As if he had already seen through this, Su Yi smiled bitterly and said, "In my opinion, let's do this for today. How about that?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
Huang Zudao: "Okay, anyway, the Allies have completed the task of clearing the ghost army stronghold and joining forces at Wuxia Pass in accordance with the highest order. As for how to fight next, we don't have the right."
"Okay, it's getting late, so I'll take my leave first. You guys can chat slowly." Yan Qi said, handed over to everyone, and left.
This military discussion also ended unhappy.
After leaving the hall, everyone went back to their respective places. On the way, Lian Xiao was still a little angry and dissatisfied: "That's what the Ling Army is like! They rush to take advantage of them. When it comes to a tough battle, they hide behind!"
"Haha." Su Yi smiled and said, "This is normal. This military meeting should not be held. Let's wait for the king's decision."
