Chapter 560: Chapter 266: Initial Victory and Seeking Support_2

Otherwise, the 200,000 strong army would really be defeated and thrown at the foot of Stone City.

If that happens, they would become a laughingstock.

And Da Changhe Country would be in imminent danger.

Time is pressing, and they must reinforce quickly.

Watching his subordinates take their orders, Li River said again, “Issue an order to sound the gong to withdraw the troops, and have those in front of the city retreat.”

“Yes”

The relevant generals also immediately took their orders.

…

After handling these urgent matters, Li River turned to look at the Great Witch Sacrifice, his heart was horrified but settled down a lot, and said solemnly: “The invasion of the Eastern Yang people is of unknown number, but their momentum will definitely not be small.

Xiong Wu reported that the enemy may be Chu State from the east.”

I’ve heard of Chu State in the past few years, it’s a newly rising power among the Eastern Yang people.

It’s said that their ruler has the reputation of being the top general in Jiangnan, and Chu State has a territory of three counties and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Such a person eyeing us won’t easily give up and withdraw his troops.”

This time our Da Changhe Country may really face a threat of national annihilation.

In order to protect the descendants of Chilih, and to preserve the glory of the Great God, the Great Witch Sacrifice, I must have the full support of the Divine Palace this time.”

Only by uniting all the forces in the country can we possibly repel the enemy and keep our Da Changhe Country and the faith of the Chilih Great God.”

At this moment, the Grand General of Da Changhe Country sincerely pleads.

Just as Li Xiong could find out that Lu Yuan intended to invade Da Changhe Country.

As the biggest threat near the Chilih people, Li River naturally paid attention to the matter of their biggest enemy, the Eastern Yang people.

Although in the past two years, Li Xiong’s rebellion has consumed much of his energy for domestic use, which he has devoted himself to quelling.

But he still has some understanding of the external situation and the Eastern Yang people’s affairs.

So he knew about the annihilation of the Yue Kingdom and the six nations standing side by side in Eastern Yang.

At first, he was quite happy, thinking that in this situation of warlords fighting, the Eastern Yang people, busy fighting each other, should not have the strength to expand outward.

But as it turned out.

Although the Eastern Yang people have been weakened, their desire to expand outward seems to have become even stronger under such great pressure.

How many years has Chu State been founded?

At this time, instead of trying to compete with Ning Country, which inherited Yue Country, for the position of Heavenly Son, they turned their attention to the southwest and invaded their Great Changhe Country.

This is really…

‘

Thinking that our Da Changhe Country is in turmoil and is a soft persimmon, they want to take a bite and gain some benefits?’

Li River thought, feeling indignant and powerless.

Because he knows that.

Those Chu people really saw that they are now a soft persimmon, with the domestic unrest not settled yet.

Just take a bite, and you can get a lot of benefits.

Looking at the blazing flames in the distance, the possible collapse of Xiong Wu’s troops, wasn’t this a lot of benefits?

With such thoughts, he couldn’t help but feel even more sad.

The Great Witch Sacrifice noticed Li River’s mood change and thought of his recent request, saying solemnly: “No problem. I will send an order back to the Divine Palace later, and all the witches inside will come out to reinforce the front line of the battlefield.”

Everyone who becomes a witch in the Divine Palace has good strength and ability, basically possessing the strength of second-rate masters.

This time, to suppress the rebellion stirred up by Li Xiong and other foreigners, the Great Witch Sacrifice brought half of the 300 witches in the Divine Palace, and they played a significant role in this series of battles.

Now, facing the greater threat of Chu State, the original idea of continuing to serve and guard the Great God in the Divine Palace, while preserving some vitality, is no longer viable.

The remaining half of the witches had to be called out to support the front line.

After hearing the arrangement, Li River was overjoyed: “As long as we have the help of these witches, we will be able to repel the Chu people and protect our land.”

“The Great God will bless his descendants.”

The Great Witch Sacrifice only nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Li River didn’t say anything more, and waited quietly.

Now, they only found out about the Chu people’s attack, and they didn’t know the specifics.

Until they understand how many enemies there are and Chu is determined to act, they don’t know what to do, even if they want more arrangements.

At this point, they can only wait for news from Shi Hu.

Time flowed like this.

The high-ranking officials of the Great Changhe Country anxiously waited on this watchtower.

The soldiers who were fiercely attacking the city on the front lines also received the order to withdraw, and retreated one by one.

Although they hadn’t been fighting for long, only 8,000 of the original 10,000 warriors remained when they retreated.

More than a thousand corpses were left at the foot of Stone City.

On the other hand, that seemingly crumbling city was still standing on this plain.

In the distance.

Looking far away, the fires were still burning fiercely.

…

One after another, the camps were set on fire.

In the camp, the soldiers of Da Changhe Country were driven by the flames and ran around.

Some of the yellow-armored knights were constantly charging back and forth among the flames.

They cut down and stabbed the terrified Yi soldiers in the flames.
