In just a quarter of an hour, more than two thousand people were killed in the battle, and three thousand auxiliary cavalry were wiped out in the first place.

"Retreat!" Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Martial Saint Guan Yu had no choice but to order a retreat.

With a flash of sword light, the Martial Saint Guan Yu led the Eight Banners Cavalry and easily tore a gap in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

The reason why they were powerless in the face of the First Yellow Sky Legion was that the First Yellow Sky Legion was also a very terrifying monster among the Miracle Legion.

Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are comparable to the three talents, they are still inferior to the Eight Banners Cavalry. What's more, with the Martial Saint Guan Yu leading the charge, almost no one can stop them.

It's a pity it's too late.

From the moment the Martial Saint Guan Yu chose to launch a surprise attack targeting the phantom soldiers, he had already stepped into a trap.

"Want to run?"

Ma Er sneered and raised his hand, making a javelin motion as if he was holding it horizontally. The brilliant will of light condensed into his hand, turning it into a spear of light about three meters long.

Under the influence of the terrifying distortion of will, the light spear turned into light as a whole and was thrown by Ma Er in the direction of the Eight Banners Cavalry's breakout.

"We've been preparing for so long, we can't just let you get away like this!"

A series of light spears were thrown out, and the moment they landed, they turned into physical phantom warriors.

Looking at the thousands of imaginary soldiers that suddenly appeared in front of them, all the Qing soldiers felt cold in their hands and feet. There were wolves in front and tigers behind. What should they do?

"Charge!" At this time, the Martial Saint Guan Yu could only bite the bullet and continue charging. If he stopped at this moment, he would literally be waiting for death.

"Go, kill them!" Bai He roared loudly.

They ignored the Martial Saint Guan Yu who was trying to break through, but instead focused on the Eight Banners Cavalry who were charging forward without enough time to try.

Even the halberd soldiers and heavy spear guards began to encircle the Eight Banners cavalry.

As for the infantry phalanxes that began to retreat, they didn't even look at them.

As long as the Eight Banners Cavalry are dealt with, these infantrymen will be trapped.

"Haha, the outcome is decided!"

Xi Zhicai looked at the encirclement that completely surrounded the Eight Banners Cavalry and laughed. This was really a way to vent his anger.

Although some of them ran away, the results of this battle were already very fruitful.

The Military Soul Corps, which was extremely precious in the past, could now kill thousands in a random war. This kind of war that spans the empire level is really terrifying.

When Xi Zhicai set his gaze on Cao Ang, a complex look appeared in his eyes.

These burdens that should have been borne by Cao Cao now have to be shouldered by Cao Ang.

"Should we go after them?"

Ma Er's shadow projection fell next to Xi Zhicai and asked.

"We are not slow. If we rush over, we should be able to block the other side!"

"Forget it. The moment we were exposed, the other side should have reacted. Moreover, the speed of Guan Yu in the cloudless aura is too fast. Even if you catch up with him, he will be able to escape!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head, thinking that it would be too risky to chase after him and the gain would not outweigh the loss.

He didn't dare to use the First Yellow Sky Legion to gamble on such an insignificant victory.

If it were any other military spirit, they would have to rush forward and wipe out the enemy completely, but for an imperial group military spirit like the Qingting, annihilating these two legions would not have any impact.

Just as Xi Zhicai expected, Yue Le was very fast. After the Martial Saint Guan Yu retreated for a distance, he rushed to the rescue with a large army.

After seeing the remnants of the Martial Saint Guan Yu and others, Yue Le closed his eyes, knowing that this would be another great defeat.

However, this was ultimately his mistake in command and he could not blame anyone else. He could only shake his head and slowly retreat to the base camp.

In a cross-regional war, Xinghan won a great victory.

Guo Jia didn't intend to take over everything from the beginning, so he strictly controlled the time of starting the war.

False and real, real and false, he found the loophole in Yue Le's arrangement.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou made a feint in front of the enemy camp, and then rushed to support the two brothers Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun.

It directly pulled out two key nails on the front line, destroying the Qing army's plan to advance slowly.

Originally, Guo Jia planned to use this as a starting point to push the front line back.

However, unexpectedly, the Qing army simply abandoned several outer camps and completely withdrew their defense lines. They were obviously afraid that the Miracle Legion would attack their camps, so they concentrated their forces.

"These guys are really hurt. It's weird that they are so cautious." Guo Jia felt a little distressed when he saw the news reported by the scouts.

"Having suffered a loss, of course he has to be cautious." Shen Pei flipped through the intelligence and was not surprised.

Guo Jia set a trap for the Qing commander, leaving him speechless and unable to do anything but swallow his anger.

After the Qing army withdrew their defense, they began to set up camp on the spot. It was a densely packed area that left no loopholes at all.

And it seemed that they were disgusted by Xinghan. Scouts, phantom warriors, snakes, rats, insects and ants were scattered all over the area of ​​50 kilometers around the camp.

The possibility of a sneak attack was completely eliminated, and the clouds were connected into one, so even if the Miracle Legion rushed in, it would be dangerous.

"Do you want to find someone to touch it and test it out?"

Xi Zhicai felt a little uneasy because he couldn't figure out what tricks the other side was playing.

The current power of Cao Wei cannot withstand another major turmoil.

"Pick some good hands, touch them and test them, and make sure it's as safe as possible!"

Guo Jia nodded. Only by knowing both yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. There is no harm in giving it a try.

"Is it windy outside?"

When Yue Le received the news, he walked out of the tent. The night wind was not strong, but the clouds it brought blocked the not-so-bright moonlight, making the entire camp even darker. This situation made Yue Le alert.

"Tell the soldiers to be careful, send more people to patrol, and be prepared." Yue Le called out to his men, "This celestial phenomenon does not look like a natural one at all. Be prepared and don't get attacked."

"General, rest assured. We have scouts all over the place. The Legion's actions will definitely not be hidden from us!"

"Well, be careful of harassment from small groups of enemies!"

Yue Le nodded, but still explained cautiously that after all, they had lost too many times and had to be careful.

Outside the camp, the Xinghan scouts who had worked so hard to reach the outside of the camp by relying on the cover of light and shadow, were all silent at this moment even though they were the elite among the elite.

"Isn't this too cautious?"

Lin Xi, a veteran soldier who was using light and shadow reconnaissance, complained helplessly that they had observed for a long time and found that the other side did not have any open or secret sentries at all, but was simply conducting a super-saturated patrol.

Once there is any movement, a large number of people will rush over immediately.

"Let's wait and see. If not, shoot two arrows to see the reaction inside!" Wei Hu on the side was also a little helpless. Their team was the elite among the elite. If they didn't get anything, it would be too embarrassing to go back.

Their hiding skills were good, but they still underestimated the level of protection of the Qing army.

There are all kinds of insects and ants almost everywhere. In such an outrageous environment, no matter how advanced your stealth ability is, there will inevitably be places that you cannot take care of.

"About a dozen people have found the location of the outer camp." The disciples who were sent out from the camp reported it immediately and pointed out the approximate location.

Although they could not confirm each other's identity, this sneaky behavior was definitely not friendly.

When a group of unidentified guys sneaked into their camp, their first reaction was that they were Xinghan’s miracle soldiers.

"Send two teams of people, take the phantom soldiers with you to take a look!" The patrolling officers were very cautious. They directly dispatched a team of a hundred people, and rushed towards the place where the old soldier was hiding under the cover of night.

"We've been discovered, retreat!" The veterans reacted quickly. Almost the moment they felt the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, they decided to run away, but they were still blocked.

Dozens of rat fairies passed directly through the underground and blocked their retreat, and hundreds of people were rushing towards them from behind.

The secret techniques of demon fairies and the Kushan visualization of gods and Buddhas are similar in nature and have a great bonus effect in small-scale battles.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Especially when the monsters and fairies are the same.

It would be no problem for a group of a hundred people to practice Qi training and performing internal Qi leaving the body.

The veterans already knew this before they set out.

"Kill them and retreat immediately!"

Lin Xi took the big bow off his back. As Lin Xi pulled the empty bowstring, the essence of heaven and earth directly formed an arrow of the essence of heaven and earth on the bowstring.

Then, before the rat fairy soldiers in front could react, the arrow flew out of their hands.

"Boom!"

An arrow hit the ground, and an arrow hit the ground again, creating a hole nearly ten meters wide. Several rat fairies that were affected died instantly.

"It's too noisy!"

Wei Hu cursed angrily, took out his sword, and rushed directly towards the Rat Immortal Sergeant in front of him. The one opposite him had a lot of internal energy, but their team was full of people who were not afraid at all.

"Die!" The long sword flashed out of its sheath, and the Rat Immortal leader with his internal energy was instantly cut into two pieces.

Although Rui Shi is very rare in Xinghan, under Cao Wei, the development of Rui Shi, a type of soldier with explosive attack power and low resource consumption, is still very popular.

Wei Hu was the best among them. Relying on his powerful internal energy, he slashed out fourteen swords in an instant and directly killed his opponent.

The rest of the veterans also showed their talents, and as specially selected elites, they were almost all the best.

Even if they were outnumbered, they would kill all the rat fairies blocking the road in one encounter and then walk away.

All that was left were corpses on the ground and the patrolling officers with grim looks on their faces.

After learning about the Qing army's defensive strength, Guo Jia and his men gave up further attempts.

The Qing army was obviously determined to fight on the defensive. Under such intense alert, it would be difficult to achieve results unless a large army was sent forward.

They received the message from Luoyang that Luoyang did not want to start a large-scale war in the short term.

So they had no choice but to give up and adopt the same defensive posture, entering a state of confrontation with the Qing army.

After being beaten several times in a row, the Qing army finally calmed down.

After all, no matter how big and powerful the family is, after suffering consecutive defeats and the death of many elite soldiers, they have to stop and calm down the internal turmoil.

Xinghan was finally able to free up his hands and began to fully promote production. In order to defeat Qingting in one fell swoop, Xinghan was rapidly increasing its troops.

Especially after being disgusted by the Qing court's several wars, Mu Yi ordered the empire to be fully prepared for war, all scientific research and production limits were temporarily locked, and all excess resources were invested in mass military production.

It is estimated that the Qing army had nearly 10 million troops, and after several wars, the Qing court might continue to exploit the people's power and recruit veterans.

Moreover, the battle will be fought on the enemy's homeland. Roughly speaking, the enemy may have around 15 million elite troops.

Just looking at the numbers, I feel that this force is a bit outrageous.

The total base populations of both sides are completely different.

Fortunately, the Qing court's troops were deployed in dispersed positions, giving them the opportunity to attack quickly and defeat them one by one.

"It is estimated that there will be about a year until the decisive battle. How many elemental soldiers can be expected?" Mu Yi asked Huang Tianji after reviewing some policy documents.

"Based on current technology, it's estimated to be around one million!"

Since the increase in productivity investment, the production speed of elemental soldiers has begun to increase significantly. Coupled with the continuous improvement of production technology during the production process, it will eventually be possible to produce an army of one million elemental soldiers equivalent to double talents.

This is also the reason why they have been dragging their feet all this time. The Qing army's secret magic does make them very wary. After all, the casualties caused by fighting to the death are terrifying.

If they were not worried about the possibility of a sudden change and the Qing army coming up with some new technology, they would have been eager to produce millions more and then use the terracotta warriors to fight against the Qing army directly.

"What about the development and production of flesh and blood mechas?"

"The people in the secretariat cracked the secret method of the demon fairy and learned some of the technology from it. Based on the flesh and blood tissues of African demon beasts, they produced a batch of improved flesh and blood mechas and named them Wolf Spirits."

"Oh? What's the new effect?"

Mu Yi became interested. The things that were transformed by cracking Qingting technology sounded very good.

"Their interior is etched with a fixed military formation secret method that can absorb blood, flesh, and minerals to restore the body's injuries. As long as the core is not damaged, they can continue to fight on the battlefield."

"However, there is still a problem with its intelligence. It can only execute simple military orders and cannot perform flexible operations such as changing formations."

"Is it used to harvest the aftermath and clean up the battlefield? That's quite good!" Mu Yi touched his chin.

It has to be said that during Xinghan's research, almost every new technology gave him a feeling that something bad was going to happen in the future.

“How much can be produced?”

"It is estimated that by the deadline, about 150,000 flesh and blood mechas can be produced!" Huang Tianji calculated and gave a rough figure.

"Can the total number of troops mobilized reach 6.2 million?"

Mu Yi thought about it and decided that according to the general strategic direction designated at the last military meeting, they would probably divide their troops into five groups.

After all, in reality, there are very few battlefields with an army of more than one million. Most of the time, a million troops is already the limit of the battlefield's carrying capacity.

A million-strong army was deployed across an area of ​​hundreds of kilometers.

"The Military Affairs Department suggested that we first send some personnel to conduct on-site reconnaissance."

Mu Yi was a little hesitant when he heard this, and was a little worried about alerting the enemy, but they really didn't know much about the environment in Qingting.
