Chapter 460： Four Saint King Masters

"Retreat Valley and City!"

Zhao Mao closed his eyes and his face was unwilling.

His words meant that all this battle was lost, and the only army he could use was the 500,000 people around him.

Moreover, he must attack Xiyi City in a very short time and take it down. Only in this way can it be ensured that the 500,000 army will not be trapped and killed in Guhe City.

"but……"

"General, what should we do if we withdraw our troops to Guhe City and the army on the Shangguan Mountain?" A general looked sad.

"What else? Give up!"

Zhao Mao's mouth was bitter, and said: "That idiot Tan Wenbo was killed with nearly a million army, and all the grain and grass in Mingxi City will also fall into Lu Feng's hands."

"Furthermore, after receiving the news of the destruction of Tan Wenbo's army, Lu Feng will definitely gather all his troops to attack Shangguanshan in the first time. When we return to the aid, Shangguanshan will be over."

"Not to mention, there are still cavalry under Lu Feng's hands. Even if we have time, we will face cavalry raids when we run over, and it will still be useless at that time."

"Now there is only one road ahead of us. Give up the army on Shangguan Mountain, retreat to defend Guhe City, and at the same time discharge the army to attack Xiyi City. We must take back Xiyi City, otherwise we will all be finished."

Abandoning the more than 700,000 troops on the Shangguan Mountain, this made Zhao Mao very, very heartache.

But even if it is heartache, there is no way.

If he doesn't give up and chooses to return to aid, facing the cavalry under Lu Feng's hands, no matter how powerful his army is, it will be difficult to stop the cavalry on the plain.

Not to mention that there are still 20,000 cavalry led by the fierce general Lu Bu on Linghong City. When the time comes, the attack will be completely finished, and there will be no army left.

"But... General, can we just do nothing?"

"Yes, General, if we withdraw our troops like this, when we return to the kingdom, neither the emperor nor the sect will let us go."

These generals knew that the losses in this battle were huge, and someone must be held responsible.

Zhao Mao's identity is not simple. He will have nothing to do in the kingdom when he returns to the kingdom, but their generals whose identities are not very important must be held accountable, and the best result is to be able to save their lives.

"General, send troops to attack Linghong City. As long as we take Linghong City and kill Lu Bu, we are not completely defeated."

"General, give an order!"

These generals begged one by one.

It’s just that Zhao Mao shook his head firmly and said: "Ly Bu is in Linghong City. He is strong and has more than 20,000 soldiers under his command. In addition, Linghong City is a small city, so defense does not require too much force. Soldiers can also block for a while."

"If Ran Min was led by Lu Feng to attack us at this time, then we would not be able to leave. Now we can't delay the time and must retreat immediately."

Hearing this, the generals under his command smiled bitterly, but he didn't dare not listen to the general's order. He responded and immediately went down to arrange the soldiers to retreat.

After these generals left, Zhao Mao pondered slightly, took a deep breath, and turned and left behind the military tent.

Soon, he went to a relatively hidden place in the barracks. There was an army account here. Unlike other army accounts, this army account was one size smaller.

"General Zhao, please come in." Zhao Mao just walked here when a voice came from inside.

Zhao Mao walked into the military tent, with four people sitting inside.

They were all dressed in black and were the shadow guards of the Spirit Sword Sect.

"Four adults, my plan has failed. Tan Wenbo's army has lost all its losses, and the calculation of besieging Lu Bu will fail. I also hope that the four adults will take the lead and cooperate with the 100,000 army outside Xiyi City to retake Xiyi City." Zhao Mao bowed slightly to the four of them.

These four people are not only members of the shadow guard, but also each of them is very strong.

All of them have the strength of the Saint King's Second Heaven peak close to the San Heaven. They were arranged by Zhao Mao. After his plan was successful, he immediately attacked Linghong City and asked them to besieged Lu Bu.

But now, all these plans are over.

The shadow guards didn't ask much, nodded, and disappeared. They went to Xiyi City according to Zhao Mao's instructions and regained Xiyi City.

"I hope there are no Saint King masters under Lu Feng in Xiyi City!"

Zhao Mao sighed lightly after these few shadow guards' Saint King masters left.

He has experienced too much in this war, and every time Lu Feng moves things beyond his expectations, he has no ability to react at all.

Now, he was very worried that there would be a Saint King master under Lu Feng in Xiyi City. After all, it was rumored that there was another Wei Qing who was in Beiguan who had not appeared.

Now Ran Min and Huo Qubing have both reached Hukou Pass, with a teleportation formation, it is hard to say whether Wei Qing has also arrived here.

However, he has no choice.

On that day, Zhao Mao led the army to immediately retreat from Linghong City and headed to Guhe City.

"General, the enemy has really withdrawn!"

On the head of Linghong City, Lu Bu's lieutenant saw Zhao Mao's army retreating and said to Lu Bu with excitement.

Lu Bu also showed a smile on his face, and said: "So it seems that your Majesty's side should be a great victory. Next, this war that has lasted for several months will come to an end!"

"General, otherwise we will lead the cavalry to rush to the past, we will certainly be able to gain a lot." The lieutenant looked eager to try.

"No!" Lu Bu shook his head and said, "The enemy has half a million, and there will definitely be Saint King masters. We have too few soldiers under our hands. There is no need to take risks."

If it were the previous Lu Bu, he might really have the brains to send tropical soldiers to rush and kill for a while, but now Lu Bu has begun to change. As a master, he must think about the lives of the soldiers under his hands. He can't make the soldiers' lives in vain for such a little combat exploits. Here is the loss.

"Yes!"

The lieutenant answered and said no more.

...

Down the mountain, Lu Feng looked at Tan Wenbo's head held by Duan Shui, and smiled: "Duan Shui, you have done a great job!"

He got the report of Hukou Pass. When he knew that Tan Wenbo had escaped, he was still a little worried.

Because Tan Wenbo is scattered in Chi County and there are about 700,000 troops. If Tan Wenbo does not die, gather these troops, and then join Zhao Mao's 500,000 troops under Linghong City, and there are 1.2 million troops. Is a very huge threat.

However, fortunately, Shushui succeeded in refining the Silver Spirit Tree, reached the Holy King Realm, and when he came back, he ran into Tan Wenbo who had escaped to Mingxi City and successfully beheaded it.

This also made Lu Feng no longer have to worry about Tan Wenbo's gathering in Chi County, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in other cities, one less worry.

Duan Shui didn't say anything, just bowed slightly, and then stood inside the Six Sword Slaves.
