Chapter 1232 The corpse bottle
What made Su Yunwu feel relieved was that the reinforcements he had requested before did not come slowly, otherwise, he might have been killed without waiting for his 300,000 troops to be pushed to the sword pass.
Even so, when 500,000 reinforcements met with Su Yunwu's army, there were only 210,000 or 20,000 left for the 300,000 troops.
Although even with reinforcements, the number of troops in the Great Sun Demon Kingdom is far less than that of the three-tribe coalition forces, the gap between the two has been shortened a lot, at least there will be no situation where they may be forcibly crushed at any time due to insufficient troops.
With the arrival of reinforcements, the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, whose morale, which had become a little depressed, recovered a lot.
However, the situation did not change much, because the coalition forces of the three tribes would not fight head-on with them, but kept wandering around like before, constantly looking for flaws like wolves and tearing their prey.
At this point, Su Yunwu's anger was not as great as before, so he no longer rushes to fight hard with the three tribes coalition forces, but formed an army formation, resisting the attack of the three tribes coalition forces, while heading towards the sword pass.
Even with 500,000 reinforcements, Su Yunwu still did not change his plan to retreat to Zhujian Pass to defend.
Su Yunwu even did something that made the generals around him do incredible, that was, as soon as the reinforcements arrived, he wrote another memorial to ask for help and ordered people to send them to the court quickly.
"Do you think I don't need to continue asking for help at this time?" Su Yunwu glanced at the generals beside him and asked casually.
"Don't dare." Everyone naturally would not question Su Yunwu's decision in person, but they were all full of doubts.
"Actually, I don't know that when my request for help arrives in the court, someone will inevitably impeach me for being unfavorable to command the troops and fight passively. I am afraid that my position as a general will come to an end." Su Yunwu said calmly.
Everyone looked at him after hearing this. Although no one said it clearly, all the eyes showed that you knew why you still had to do this.
"I have unscrupulous difficulties in doing this." Su Yunwu smiled bitterly: "If it is just for self-protection, then with the reinforcements we just brought, we may not be able to stabilize the situation when we retreat to Zhujian Pass, but this alone cannot do it."
Su Yunwu raised his hand and pointed to Longshou Mountain vaguely visible in the distance, and said, "Don't forget, this time we are here to conquer Tongtian Pass, then annex the Western Front, and then attack the Han Dynasty from the side to support the main army that went to war with the Han Dynasty on the front."
When the generals heard this, they had some brains and nimbleness to understand Su Yunwu's meaning, but some were still a little unclear.
Su Yunwu continued: "But we didn't have time to shoot an arrow at Tongtian Pass, but we were defeated by the alien army that came from somewhere. Not to mention how the court will hold us accountable afterwards, just fighting this battle like this will bring you the trust of Your Majesty."
"General, those alien armies must be related to Western Xinjiang, and maybe they sent them to deal with us."
"Even if we know that they were sent from Xijiang, what can we do? Do we ask for punishment? Don't forget that we are the ones who are beaten now, who are only able to resist but not fight back."
"What is this? If you can't beat it, don't beat it? Are you trying to increase your enemy's ambition and destroy your own majesty. Which one do you belong to?"
…………
The discussions were heard, and the officials soon started arguing.
"Silent." Su Yunwu shouted softly and then said, "No matter what the origin of this army is, since it blocks our way and is our enemy, we cannot give up."
"There is never a victorious general in the world, so I am not. It doesn't matter if I lose once, as long as I win it back in the end. But the enemy's number and strength are far better than us. What I worry about is that even if I defend myself later, I may not be able to defend the Sword Pass."
As soon as Su Yunwu finished speaking, all the generals and officials remained silent.
Some people were pondering, while others showed dissatisfaction. Obviously, it was unlikely that Su Yunwu would accept his side to see clearly.
This is actually not surprising. After all, they were able to attack Tongtian Pass by orders because they were the elite army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom and naturally had their own pride.
The previous confrontation was lost to the coalition forces of the three tribes, which could be said to be the enemy with a large number of enemies and a small number of enemies. The loss was not a shame. Then if you defend the city, you would not be the enemy's opponent, but you would really be embarrassed to throw it to your grandma's house.
"Have you ever discovered that the current enemy's tactics are very different from those at the beginning?" Su Yunwu asked.
"That's right." Everyone nodded one after another. Some people even gritted their teeth and said, "It's even more shameless."
"According to my guess, this is because the enemy's commander is not there, so now we are facing an army without a leader." Su Yunwu said again.
"How is it possible?! The general is not joking about this."
"Isn't this possible? The leaderless dragons are so fierce. If the commander comes back, wouldn't it be..."
…………
Su Yunwu's words surprised the generals, but when he saw his serious face, he definitely didn't look like he was joking. He couldn't help but calm down, and his heart was even more cold.
Because if Su Yunwu said right, then it would be terrible.
Without the commander, the enemy is so brave. If the commander returns, his combat power will probably be even stronger.
What will happen if their more than 700,000 troops face the other million troops?
Just thinking about it, everyone felt chilling. At the same time, they also understood Su Yunwu's good intentions.
"General, what should we do?" someone asked.
"Grudge your teeth and fight." Su Yunwu said gritting his teeth: "It will not be possible to end easily when the national war is together. Either you die or I die. The one who can't hold on will definitely lose. Since we have come, of course we cannot admit defeat, so we must do our best to fight."
"But..." Someone wanted to speak, but he didn't say it in the end.
"The longer we persist, the more beneficial the situation will be for us, because as long as the court knows how strong the enemy we are facing is, more reinforcements will be brought, and even in the end we will become the main battlefield for our Great Sun Demon Kingdom to fight with the Great Han Dynasty."
Speaking of this, Su Yunwu looked at everyone and said, "It was only then that we could breathe a sigh of relief, but now we can only grit our teeth and hold on. Even if we wipe out all the soldiers and horses in our hands, it would be a waste of time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable if we threw the sword pass."
"Don't worry, General, we will definitely win."
"It must win."
Everyone shouted in unison.
Su Yunwu looked at his generals with a satisfied smile on his face, but he really had no confidence in his heart.
With Su Yunwu's briefing this time, the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom fought more fiercely and tenaciously when it faced the coalition forces of the three tribes.
In this way, not only did the army in the Great Sun Demon Kingdom increase significantly, but even the three tribes' coalition forces have increased more casualties. However, the three tribes' coalition forces are not afraid of such casualties at all, but instead become more and more fierce.
The troops of both sides began a tug-of-war battle within a range of fifty miles outside the Zhujian Pass. They were all waiting for the other party to bear the collapse.
At this time, Xia Fan came to the battlefield and waved his hand to release 500,000 soul bodies and the 9,999 evil spirits and ghosts.
When the dense soul bodies and the fierce souls and ghosts mixed with screaming in it fell from the sky and joined the battlefield, the three tribes' coalition forces were of course shocked, but the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, which was fighting against them, was stunned and panicked.
Because even if there are countless enemies emerging in a short while, I can tell that there are definitely many things just by looking at the formation, especially the blood evil energy on the soul body condensed, covering the sky like rolling red clouds, and even suppressed the aura of the military formation of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom.
"Attack and kill them." Xia Fan's voice sounded, and even on the battlefield where the sound of killing sounds could be clearly heard into everyone's ears.
When the coalition forces of the three tribes were naturally very energetic when they heard this, they instantly burst into battle. They roared wildly and gave up their previous games and continued to gather together to form a neat military formation and pushed towards the military formation of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom.
Although the enemies who had been tormented by previous games were dying, the coalition forces of the three tribes prefer a head-on breakthrough.
Especially the soldiers of the demon clan and the demon clan, they have experienced such large-scale collisions in the past, and they are quite experienced in this and like this kind of face-to-face battle, swords and guns.
If Su Yunwu was first chased and wanted to fight to the death, he would definitely be one hundred willing to see the enemy fighting with him.
But now he really dared not push the 700,000 troops in his hands over to fight against the enemy. The reason is very simple. The number of people is much different and the strength is not advantageous. If he fights head-on, the result will definitely be quite miserable.
However, the direction of the battle is often not shifted by the will of one party's commander.
Especially in the current situation, Xia Fan's army has an absolute advantage, and it is like a huge rock pushed down from the top of a mountain, with its momentum so fierce that it is unstoppable.
Not to mention that you can't stop it, even if you want to run, you may not be able to escape. As long as you want, you can fight as much as you want.
Xia Fan did not come to fight in person anymore. Even when several demon cultivators from the Grand Sun Demon Kingdom emerged from the army, he did not take action because there were demon kings such as Shanzhongjun and even soul bodies from the Soul Sect realm to greet him.
When Xia Fan's current status is now, if he still has to lead the way in a battle that will win, it would be too expensive.
However, Xia Fan was not idle either. His eyes were always staring at Dudu who was rushing with the souls.
When he saw those demon cultivators appearing in the Grandmaster Realm, Dudu's eyes lit up and he immediately took out the corpse raising bottle that he had just obtained not long ago.
Although the corpse foil was not long since obtained, Dudu had already finished sacrificing it and could be fully manipulated.
