"Let's withdraw first."

The great ambitions he had when he came had lost all of them at this moment. Apart from sending someone to inform Huang Chengjian that the city gate might be fake, Zheng Yuanyun sighed deeply and made a decision that shocked his generals.

retreat?

"Sir, this...is this a retreat?"

It was clear that he heard clearly, but at this moment, some people still feel that they heard wrongly?

retreat?

At a time like this?

Yes, it is true that we suffered heavy losses at the main city gate, but hadn't General Huang already retreated?

Many generals present could understand the message sent back by the resounding arrow just now. General Huang was clearly saying that the left city gate would be a weakness for the opponent, and that he currently had an advantage in the situation.

What an advantage!

The message sent back by General Huang was that he had the upper hand!

At this time, Mr. Zheng actually asked to retreat?

With this retreat, wouldn't our previous huge losses be lost in vain?

With this retreat, General Huang will no longer have any support. He will become a lone army. Once he breaks through the left city gate, he will not receive support from his own side. Instead, he will be annihilated by the troops in Tianyuan City.

That's half a million elite soldiers!

Judging from Master Zheng's words, he is ready to give up on General Huang!

Doesn’t this mean selling out teammates?

Such an order made all the generals present feel chilled and couldn't help but put themselves into General Huang's situation.

The soldiers put their lives at risk, but the commander-in-chief issued an order to retreat shortly after they set off for the expedition. Who would dare to fight for Lord Zheng wholeheartedly in the future?

Maybe at some point, they would suddenly become outcasts and be abandoned by Master Zheng.

The expressions of his generals did not escape Zheng Yuanyun's eyes, but at this moment, he was also extremely helpless.

If they don't retreat, not only Huang Chengjian's side will die, but even their own headquarters will fall victim to the opponent's conspiracy and arrangement, thereby annihilating the entire army that invaded Nantes Province.

Zheng Yuanyun didn't want to die.

Although he had to admit, he knew very well that when things had developed to this point, the huge advantage he had accumulated in the early stage was gone.

It's not that he doesn't want to take back those 500,000 elite soldiers, but it's just that he can no longer take them back.

If we have already invaded and let the soldiers retreat, the losses will not be small.

Furthermore, if he wanted to escape unscathed now, he really could no longer care about the safety of Huang Chengjian's side, and even had to use Huang Chengjian's side to hold back the enemy, so that he could take the opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield.

At the moment, Zheng Yuanyun has really reached a point of helplessness.

If his order had been earlier, or if Huang Chengjian's attack had been later, the troops could have been preserved and not entered the battle, this would have been a better result.

If that's the case, he still has nearly 800,000 elite troops in his hands, which is enough to be used for siege.

It's a pity that Huang Chengjian has already moved, so the only thing Zheng Yuanyun can count on now is the less than 300,000 troops on hand.

No matter how confident he was in his soldiers, he still didn't think that each of these 300,000 people could reach the point where one was against ten, and that the inferior force could defeat the opponent's superior numbers.

If he wanted to protect himself, he had no choice but to retreat. He could only join up with the incoming 500,000 reinforcements before Zheng Yuanyun could carry out the siege strategy that he regretted again.

However, this also depends on whether Ouyang Lixing will order the blockade of Tianyuan City to be broken open during his absence, and then replenish it.

Once a fighter plane is missed, it may never be found again.

Zheng Yuanyun knew this truth very well, but what could he do at this time?

He was able to volt, so he could only ignore the questioning looks of his generals and insist on giving the order to retreat.

At this time, he had no time to explain, and he didn't want to explain at all. After all, it was his decision-making errors that caused the current situation.

Are you going to blame Huang Chengjian?

The other party was just faithfully executing his orders, and might even become a victim to save his life. At this time, Huang Chengjian was tragic and sympathized with by other generals. Zheng Yuanyun just wanted to pass the blame again.

There is no way to put the blame on Huang Chengjian.

Therefore, he could only curse angrily in his heart, cursing these generals who had obviously saved their lives but still looked suspicious.

In any case, he is still the supreme commander of the Qingyang Empire here, and his orders will still be executed immediately.

So, no matter what, the order to retreat was also issued to the ears of every soldier. The troops of the Qingyang Empire finally made the first retreat after entering the Nantes Province.

"Sir, they seem to be retreating!"

On top of Tianyuan City, although the retreat of the Qingyang Empire was well hidden, the opponent was not a fool, and still saw a clue from the frontal battlefield that had been silent for a long time.

Ouyang Lixing smiled and drank the tea in his hand.

Retreat?

After all, Zheng Yuanyun still has some foresight. He knows that if he doesn't withdraw, there will only be one ending waiting for him.

That is - death!

So he withdrew, and his retreat would directly lead to the annihilation of the entire army at the left city gate.

How could Ouyang Lixing not know that his left city gate was being attacked by the opponent?

But just as Zheng Yuanyun knew very well that Ouyang Lixing would not reveal such a big flaw for him to take advantage of, the gate on the left is indeed a fake gate.

As long as Zheng Yuanyun left even half a minute later, Ouyang Lixing was almost ready to give the order for the troops to go out through the only unsealed right gate and launch an attack on Zheng Yuanyun's base camp.

Zheng Yuanyun thought he was well hidden, but in fact, Ouyang Lixing had always made calculations in his mind about how many troops he had and how many battle losses he had.

When he heard that a large number of enemy troops appeared outside the city gate on the left, Ouyang Lixing already knew that Zheng Yuanyun's troops were almost empty. At this time, it was also a good choice to go out and fight to the death with the opponent.

But Zheng Yuanyun ran away at this time.

It has to be said that this person's perception of danger was not that slow, and he still felt that something was wrong.

But it doesn't matter. After all, this man only has the last 300,000 troops. Are we still afraid that he will fly out of Nantes?

Chen Ming had repeatedly assured him that his eldest brother Chen Ze had arranged everything to ensure that Zheng Yuanyun would not receive any reinforcements.

In this case, it's time to beat up the drowned dog.
