Chapter 1990 Don’t Fall into the Trap
"Correct."
"Can the demon puppet escape into the stone?"
"Of course not."
"Okay." Guo Baiyu immediately adjusted the direction and fought while retreating!
Of course, he hoped to fight and retreat at the same time. The two sides were fighting to a stalemate, and the black-armored army naturally followed him up the mountain.
Unfortunately, it was clear at this time that the troops under his command were of mixed quality. The outer soldiers were already dizzy from the charge of the Black Armored Army. When they saw the main force retreating, they thought that Guo's army was defeated and that they were going to be abandoned. So a large number of people fled in all directions, and the commander had no time to stop them.
Guo Baiyu cursed a few times, "waste". There were too many people joining his team recently, and there were a lot of these people who were just filling in the numbers, with no loyalty at all, always wanting to be fence-sitters, and usually wasting his food!
Above this slope are continuous mountains, the main body of which is made of hard granite, but covered with a thin layer of soil, so there are also plants.
The sand was a little slippery, but the horses were still able to move.
Guo Baiyu ordered the main force to circle with the Black Armored Army and then go up the mountain. After all, it was the army he had brought up that could withstand the ordeal.
At this time, the bandit army deliberately appeared to be in a state of disarray, throwing away their weapons and armor along the way.
The Black Armor Army didn't know that there was a commander from the Heavenly Palace beside Guo Baiyu, didn't know that the Heavenly Palace wanted to capture Dong Rui alive, and didn't know that there was a real body of a god here. In Guo Baiyu's opinion, they should pursue him relentlessly.
The magician beside him tore open two speed talismans, and the dim green light covered most of the main force, making their movements more agile.
Seeing the enemy enter the mountain without saying anything, the black-armored army rushed to the top of the slope and rushed forward without hesitation. Miancheng had its own team to rescue, and Wanqiliang's target was Guo Baiyu!
But before they ran more than ten feet, Wanqi Liang heard Dong Rui's voice:
"Wait a minute, my snail toad can't get up."
He followed Wanqi Liang into battle and also borrowed Aunt Zhu's eye spider as a means of communication.
Wanqi Liang slowed down his pace: "Why?"
"The majority of this mountain is made of stone, and the snail toad cannot escape by stone."
Wanqi Liang was startled. He looked up and saw that most of the mountain was covered with sparse bushes, like a bald head, which showed that the soil was fertile. Did Guo Baiyu know the geographical conditions here? He plunged into the mountain. Was he planning to fight guerrilla warfare with the Black Armor Army, or did he have other plans?
Wanqi Liang raised his hand, and everyone quickly stopped and waited for new instructions.
Normally, he would chase the enemy and capture Guo Baiyu directly, and the battle tonight would be over.
This idea was very tempting, because Wanqi Liang couldn't judge what Guo Baiyu was planning. What if he simply retreated and he didn't chase him, allowing Guo Baiyu to escape successfully, and it would be difficult to catch him later. Guo Baiyu still had several cities under his control. If he closed the door and focused on defense, this clearing battle would become an overtime battle, and it was hard to say how long it would take.
If Lu Yaofei's army had attacked the city for twenty or thirty days, thus delaying other progress, the Dragon God would definitely blame them.
These thoughts flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope.
In the past, Wanqi Liang would have rushed forward without even a second thought.
But now that he had a large army under his command, he was not carried away by the passion and results of the battle, but looked back into the distance.
From this angle, you can see the situation in Miancheng:
The Black Armor Army is engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy army, and the danger to Mian City has not yet been resolved.
Hmm, did Guo Baiyu set a trap to make him turn around so easily? What if Mian City was breached after the reinforcements arrived? That would be really...
Moreover, he also remembered the repeated instructions of Emperor Jiuyou:
We must not let Mr. Dong be exposed in public!
But in the current situation, if Dong Rui wants to continue to follow the team, he can only come out from underground; if he is asked to stop and Wanqi Liang leads the army alone to chase Guo Baiyu, it seems inappropriate.
Wanqi Liang took a deep breath and shouted, "Turn around and rush to help Miancheng, quickly!"
The black-armored army changed direction and rushed out again, heading straight for Mian City.
Guo Baiyu on the mountain saw this and was so angry that his eyes turned green: "So cunning?"
It was clear that if they took a few more steps, all the Black Armored Army would enter the mountainous area, and the Demon Puppet Master surnamed Dong would have to emerge from underground. But the other side retreated.
What did the other party smell?
He thought to himself that he hadn't revealed anything. Are the Black Armored Army such cautious people?
Where is the promise of bravely advancing against the rapids, where is the promise of being brave and fearless? Why don’t you even dare to chase after the fleeing enemy?
Too picky!
All in all, he suffered because he didn't know who the leader of the Black Armor Army was, and he didn't know the other side's habits and temper when fighting.
Guo Baiyu had no choice but to go down the mountain and gather the outer troops again.
He was about to head straight for Miancheng when a rider suddenly came from behind to report:
"General, this is bad. Luofengtan has been occupied!"
Guo Baiyu was shocked: "Who?"
"Nan Ronghe led the troops personally."
"Nan Ronghe, this villain, really knows how to pick opportunities!" Guo Baiyu almost broke his back teeth.
He had occupied Luofengtan for more than three months, and Nan Ronghe hadn't said a word, or even come to negotiate, as if nothing had happened.
As a result, as soon as he attacked Mian City, the other side sent troops to retake Luofengtan.
The timing is perfect.
This is another difficult problem facing Guo Baiyu:
Attack or retreat?
Once Luofengtan was occupied, his army would have to retreat to Huancheng, which was a longer journey and more risky.
The biggest problem was that the Black Armor Army's combat power was much stronger than he had expected. Even if Guo Baiyu's main force went forward, they couldn't hold on.
Guo Baiyu immediately called the commander-in-chief and pointed at the city and said directly: "Can the gods descend to Mian City? Right now!"
The warlord's answer was clear: "No! You didn't fish out that demon puppeteer!"
The Heavenly Palace's backup plan will only be used to deal with the powerful ones sent by the Jiuyou Emperor. Not every small fry is worthy of the gods wasting their energy to descend!
To him, all the lives here combined are not as important as Dong Rui.
This is the high-end combat power of Emperor Jiuyou, and it is a non-renewable resource.
Guo Baiyu laughed angrily: "Then what's the point of keeping your divine body?"
His goal was to win the war and capture Mian City, but this group of charlatans created complications and insisted on arresting some demon puppet master! Now, the rhythm of the war was completely disrupted, and he couldn't turn it back.
The commander heard the threat in the words and said coldly: "The gods are always watching here. Even if you kill us, they will not come. You should wait a little longer. Maybe there will be another chance."
Guo Baiyu let out a breath and ordered a retreat.
Even if he had a body descended from the gods, he couldn't just call upon the gods whenever he wanted. First, he needed to report to the military commander, and second, it also depended on the will of the gods.
If the other party is unwilling to come, Guo Baiyu will have no way to deal with it.
Having a powerful weapon but not being able to use it is an indescribable feeling of frustration.
Since he couldn't take down Miancheng for the time being, why should he waste his time and life here? Retreat!
