Chapter 5435 Zhan Ying's plan

Zhao Zian is furious now.

Niangziguan was frustrated across the board, which had a huge impact on the human war situation.

It's good now that the Demon Sect has escaped, and so has the entire Tianshan Piaomiao Pavilion group.

All the cultivators have fled. How can an army of tens of millions of mortals led by Zhao Zian alone resist the tiger and wolf army in the heavens?

However, he is only the commander of Yumen Pass and cannot mobilize the monks in the world of cultivation.

The first line of defense at Yumen Pass has not yet been breached by the phantom.

Behind the Yumenguan defense line, there are two natural chasms, Motian Cliff and Motian Ridge.

Even if the imperial court does not send more troops to Yumen Pass, Zhao Zian is confident that he will hold on for two or three years.

Now, the killing machines that humans have prepared for many years have not yet come into use, but Zhao Zian has to consider taking the initiative to give up the Yumen Pass defense line.

After Zhao Zian lost his temper in the command post at the forward position, Qu Jiuyuan bravely said: "Young Commander, it is a foregone conclusion that Niangzi Pass will be breached. The third line of defense at Niangzi Pass will collapse in ten days and a half at most. .

If Niangzi Pass is lost, our flanks will not be protected. The Tianjie Middle Army can attack the capital to the east and our flanks to the west.

Now that the world of cultivation has retreated across the board, we can no longer stand here. Thirty million soldiers, war supplies, and a huge number of civilians and reserve troops. It cannot be transferred in a day or two. "

Almost all of the most elite troops in the world are at Yumen Pass.

The army in Zhao Zian's hands cannot be completely wiped out, otherwise the world will not even have a chance to fight back in the future.

Zhao Zian also knew this.

But he was not willing to give up the impregnable line of defense at Yumenguan.

After Qu Jiuyuan spoke, many generals and staff expressed their thoughts.

Some people think that Yumen Pass should be defended, while others think that retreat should be done to preserve strength for future counterattacks.

The two sides began to argue fiercely.

Zhao Zian's head was a few times bigger.

He shouted: "Don't argue anymore. We are not at the end of the road yet. You go out first and let me be alone."

The generals did not dare to say any more and left one after another.

Suddenly, Zhao Zian said: "Shuai Qu is staying."

Soon, Zhao Zian and Qu Jiuyuan were left in the war room.

Zhao Zian sat on the chair tiredly and looked at the map in front of him.

Said: "Qu Datou, there are no outsiders here, let's talk about it."

Qu Jiuyuan said: "Young Marshal, what do you want me to say?"

Zhao Zian's eyes flashed and he said: "You are a fierce general who charges into battle, but you are not a general. As the head coach of Yumenguan, I naturally know some secrets.

You and Zhan Ying met more than ten years ago. It was you who turned the tide in the Battle of Yingzui Cliff, but behind you was Zhan Ying who was directing everything, including last year's Battle of Dragon Gate.

Did Zhan Ying say something to you secretly?

Although I and Zhan Ying belong to different battlefields, I admire Zhan Ying's combat ideas. What does he want you to say to me? "

Qu Jiuyuan stopped pretending.

Said: "Brother Zhan Ying did contact me. What he meant was that once Niangzi Pass is broken, Yumen Pass will become useless.

If we continue to hold on to Yumen Pass, we will be in danger of being annihilated.

For today's plan, we should retain our strength for future events. "

Zhao Zian's expression was indifferent, he spread out the map and said, "Tell me what Zhan Ying thinks."

Qu Jiuyuan picked up a wooden stick and began to tell Zhao Zian about Zhan Ying's combat intentions.

Said: "Brother Zhan Ying means that after Niangzi Pass was broken, we only left a small number of troops to garrison Yumen Pass, and the main force retreated southward along the foot of Tianshan Mountain. A new defensive front was formed along the Kunlun Pass.

We only need to deploy no more than five million troops at the Kunlun Pass. The main force of the army will continue to move southward, moving eastward from between Kunlun Mountain and Qilin Mountain.

The final decisive battle must be at Cangyun Mountain.

In the future, all the forces in the world will surround Cangyun Mountain to fight this battle. "

Although Zhan Ying and Zhao Zian are of the same rank, they are both marching generals.

However, Zhao Zian is famous all over the world and has a large number of troops, while Zhan Ying is just an unknown person who suddenly rose up.

If Zhan Ying directly sent a message to Zhao Zian and asked Zhao Zian to abandon garrison at Yumen Pass, Zhao Zian would definitely be disgusted.

Therefore, he used his good brother Qu Jiuyuan to convey his opinions to Zhao Zian.

Zhan Ying is a commander who has an overall view of the situation. He only has victory or defeat in his mind and nothing else.

In order to achieve the final victory, he could give up most of the Middle Earth to the heaven.

As for how many innocent people would die, he didn't care.

Cold-blooded, ruthless, calm, and not troubled by emotions, this is the qualified commander.

In comparison, Zhao Zian is more emotional and easily swayed by emotions.

Zhao Zian fell into deep thought after listening to Qu Jiuyuan's introduction.

He had also deduced in advance the situation that Yumen Pass would face once Niangzi Pass was breached.

There are only two ways.

One, defend Yumen Pass and fight the enemy to the last man.

Second, retreat.

Retreating is easier said than done.

An army of tens of millions marching is a terrifying thing.

If each soldier consumes one kilogram of grain per day, tens of millions of kilograms of grain will be consumed every day.

Behind Yumen Pass, grain and fodder are piled up like mountains. It is not just one mountain, but thousands of mountains.

There is not only food and grass, but also a large amount of military supplies.

Let alone the laborers, even if the cultivators helped to transport the food and supplies, tens of thousands of cultivators would be needed.

Moreover, Yumen Pass was the last line of defense in the hearts of the people of the Middle Earth. Once Yumen Pass was lost, the morale of the people of the Middle Earth would be greatly reduced.

Zhao Zian would not easily abandon Yumen Pass until the end.

However, in the current situation, if he did not decisively choose to retreat, the tens of millions of elite troops at Yumen Pass would most likely be attacked by the east and west of the heavens.

After a while, Zhao Zian pointed at the map.

"Zhan Ying said that after we retreat south, we will build a defense line near Kunlun Pass to stop the Heavenly Army.

As far as I know, in the catastrophe six thousand years ago, tens of millions of human soldiers died there. It is not very effective to stop the Heavenly Army at Kunlun Pass."

Qu Jiuyuan said: "Brother Zhan Ying said that Kunlun Pass is very important. Only by retreating to Kunlun Pass can we completely get rid of the danger of being attacked from both sides by the Heavenly Army.

In addition, Kunlun Pass is Kunlun Pass. The entrance to Kunlun Mountain, only by defending it can we turn the tide of the war. "

Zhao Zian snorted: "In terms of danger, Kunlun Pass is far inferior to the Yumen Pass defense line.

Moreover, there are not many military facilities built at Kunlun Pass.

How easy is it to defend here? "Qu Jiuyuan said: "Brother Zhan Ying said that he has a secret weapon that can help us defend Kunlun Pass. Moreover, Gui Xuanzong will also fight a big battle with the six divisions of heaven and man at Kunlun Pass, so we don't have to worry. "
