Proud Ruler of the World

Chapter 33 - Withdrawal

"Marshal, there is a Weijiang between us and the northern border. Although it is preventing us from advancing, it also prevents Chu Zhi's army from crossing the river.

I suggest for us to guard the Weijiang at all costs, if not, if their two hundred thousand strong army were to pass through the Weijiang and arrive at the territory of the Heaven's Might, then they are not people that the one hundred thousand of us can stop.

"What General Sun said makes a lot of sense. If they really reach the territory of Heaven's Might, then they might become unstoppable!" Jiang Qing thought for a moment and continued.

"If we were to fight them to the death here, we would definitely be the ones to perish.

Even if they were severely injured, and came to the Heaven's Might World, they still had a lot of strength to fight against the two hundred thousand troops that had just been gathered.

Therefore, if we stay here and defend, we will definitely give our hundred thousand people to them for nothing. If they do not defend, even if they cross the river, they will find it hard to resist. "

At most they retreated in a few days. According to what the Marshal said, we, Tianwei, have no hope at all? " the person that Jiang Qing called General Sun questioned Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing did not say anything, but General Li was unhappy, "If you want to die, we do not want to die! It's only a temporary retreat, but with the other two hundred thousand people, what more can they create in our Heaven's Might territory? "

Jiang Qing chose to keep silent at this time, because it was no longer appropriate for him to speak. The generals in the tent began to argue with each other.

It was not as if all the military forces were peaceful. Many generals were opposed to each other and refused to submit to each other. Some of them even had the same idea as him and chose a different method.

At this time, the generals in the tents of the Heavenly Might Army were split into two groups. Part of the reason was to persuade them to retreat and wait for the reunion to get back at them. The other part was to persuade them to fight to the death, believing that they would be safe.

These generals were arguing because their Marshal, Jiang Qing, had not made up his mind yet. He seemed to be deep in thought, and his left and right sides were tangled up.

Split up, the more dispersed, the better. The more dispersed, the weaker it would be. This way, the loss of Uncle's men would be even smaller, and the damage would be minimized. Furthermore, Jiang Qing did not expect that they would be so agitated, it seemed that even the generals of the Heaven's Might Court were not on good terms with them. This country should really be destroyed.

He sighed for Tianwei and said, "Enough. Whether we fight or retreat, it's not up to you to be impudent. Do you still have a Marshal in your eyes?" Jiang Qing was also in his early twenties, but as a marshal, he had the ability to be proud.

After Jiang Qing finished speaking, they all quietened down, and waited for his next decision.

"How about this, let's go to the surrounding areas to gather a few more people, vowing to the might of the heavens to delay their army." Just as Jiang Qing's words came out, a few of the retreat factions appeared.

"Marshal, you can't! If we throw these hundred thousand people here again, there will be no hope for the heavens' might!" Afterwards, the people from the retreat faction all came out to persuade him.

"Marshal, we can definitely defend it!" The people from the War Faction also stood out.

Seeing that the war of words was about to begin again, Jiang Qing shouted loudly, "Enough, pass down my order, we will defend the Weijiang to the death, waiting for the reinforcements."

"That's fine. You guard you and we'll leave together. Although the Tiger Tally is in your hands, there are still several thousand of me here!"

"I'm leaving too!" I have thousands under my command too. "

"Right, let's go as well. We won't wait here for our deaths!" One by one, the retreating men expressed their determination to disobey the order.

They had more than a dozen people with them, 50,000 of them! And with that, they had taken more than 50,000 people with them!

"Bang!" The sound of swords being drawn could be heard. The two groups of people were about to meet. Those who disobey will die! "

"Everyone stop, we can't withdraw, we can't even fight, what exactly do you want? Do you want to destroy the one hundred thousand men left? This Field Marshal has become the commander of an army that has never been seen before! " Jiang Qing said angrily.

The atmosphere of the sword pulling Zhang Gong's crossbow had slightly calmed down. At this time, Jiang Qing continued. We are all doing this for the glory of the heavens. I have to say, if we keep defending like this, we will be completely annihilated. It's better if we retreat and focus on the bigger picture.

"What do you think, generals?"

"Since Marshal has said so, let us withdraw! Once the army arrives, we will not be afraid of them anymore! "

Finally, they reached an agreement: they would retreat. Jiang Qing was already extremely happy in his heart. This move was taught to him by his young master.

Jiang Qing had complete control of their hearts. If one could live, why would they die? Furthermore, they were generals who had no will to fight whatsoever in the Royal Capital. They were even more precious.

Therefore, even a courageous general had no choice but to give up when faced with an army several times larger than his own. The persuasion side was partly because of the pressure from the retreating factions, and partly because of the fear of death.

Therefore, even if they were prepared to face death, they had no choice but to retreat! Following Jiang Qing's order, the hundred thousand strong army immediately tidied up their army camp, pulled their food and supplies, and retreated in the direction of the Profound Sky Imperial City.

Moreover, Chu Fanliang had brought a thousand people with him to the borders of the Profound Sky Continent. The clothes they wore were no longer Chu Jun's clothes, but the uniform of the, the largest bandit organization within the borders of the Heaven's Might.

Seven Stars Stronghold was also a bandit group that had been established within the borders of the Heaven's Might for the past few years. Because they never hurt the civilians, even though they were a bandit group, the citizens still loved them.

Moreover, they had a large number of people. In a country with a heavy tax like Tianwei, it was impossible to have a small number of people. For the past few years, the people and soldiers of the imperial government were very safe, so they did not go to destroy them. As a result, they remained safe and sound.

When Chu Fanliang and the rest arrived at the Profound Sky Continent, they were unable to find the enemy troops nor did they sense anything, that was because they were under the protection of the Seven Stars Stronghold.

The boss of the Seven Stars Stronghold was one of Jiang Qing's subordinates. When he saw Chu Fanliang come, he almost treated him as his ancestor.

There was no need to talk about Jiang Qing's skill, this subordinate of his was a prodigy that Jiang Qing had gotten from an unknown mountain. Although he could not defeat Jiang Qing, but with Jiang Qing's training, he had the strength to fight Jiang Qing.

Therefore, Chu Fanliang and the others easily used the Seven Stars Stronghold as a cover, and traveled back and forth to this area where there was no war.
