C543 Withdrawal of Jin

Wu Gang raised his head and looked at the sky. The sun was already setting, so Wu Gang decisively gave the order to call for the retreat of the troops, the 'effect' of today's siege, made him very satisfied. After all, losing 40% of his troops was not a small number.

Attacking a city wasn't as simple as a day or night. Although the enemies would feel tired, the attackers would be even more tired. They wouldn't be able to provide much help to the siege.

Especially on the first day of the siege, almost all of them were familiar with each other's defenses. There was no need to fight tirelessly all night, no matter how tight the time was, it was unnecessary.

The night siege didn't have much of an advantage, because the dim light affected both sides. Although torches could be used to dispel the night's deep darkness, the amount of light the torches could illuminate was limited and could not support the entire battle.

Furthermore, if they were to use torches to attack the city, wouldn't that be equivalent to providing a live target for the enemy? If they didn't attack the city with torches, it would be a huge test for the charging soldiers, especially if the infantry and cavalry were mixed together.

Rather than this, it was better to stop the siege, which would allow them to recharge their energy and fight again tomorrow. Secondly, it would be a kind of spiritual oppression, because the one in charge of defending the city would never know when the siege would begin, so they had to maintain a tense and worried mental pressure. Under these circumstances, they would not be able to get a good rest, which would be a great test for the physical strength of the warriors.

In this way, it would have an unimaginable effect on the subsequent battles. This was also one of the methods to attack the city.

Of course, Wu Gang had other considerations, he did not want to crush the defenses of the Blood Illusion Valley so quickly. If his side succeeded in attacking the Blood Illusion Valley, this would not be a good result, at least not the one he wanted to see.

"Wu Gang, what exactly do you want to do? Why did they call for the withdrawal of troops now? Seeing that my men can break through the enemy gates, wouldn't it be a waste of my son's life to retreat now? " A rough and barbaric voice sounded out from outside Wu Gang's tent.

The sound of loud voices and the footsteps of several people could be heard. Not long after, several armored generals entered the tent.

"Who do I think it is? Why did his attacks not go smoothly, did he have no place to vent the anger he accumulated and come to my side to act presumptuously? You must understand that I am still the commander appointed by the Nine Kings. I am afraid that you are not qualified to make a ruckus with me! " After Wu Gang teased them for a bit, he changed the topic and spoke coldly to the few people who barged in.

"You ??!" The rugged man in the lead was so angry that his face turned red. He wanted to refute the other party with some words, but he was at a loss for words. He really did not know what to say.

"All of you came as well. Don't tell me that you're here to fight for him?" Wu Gang did not bother with the big size man, and smiled as he looked at the other people, and asked.

"Witch General, we are not here together to argue with you. We are just here to ask why you stopped the siege! I believe that the other party will not be able to last long, as long as we continue to attack! "

"Why do you have the nerve to say that you stopped the siege? You still want to continue attacking? Do you see the sky? Do your mediocre troops have the ability to fight at night? Also, it's only the first day, so tell me, how many casualties do you have? If I'm not wrong, it's 40%, 40%! What do you think 40% of the casualties are? A pig? Those are all warriors with flesh and blood! " Wu Gang practically slammed the table as he shouted.

It was not that Wu Gang despised these people, although they were the direct descendants of the Ninth King, their military capabilities and training level in the army were not much better than the city guards!

With such mediocre command and the low combat ability of the troops, what difference was there between fighting in the night and choking yourself to death before the battle? After a few more attacks, they would have all died. Furthermore, most of their deaths would have been caused by their own people trampling on each other.

"We also didn't expect the other party to be so tenacious, we ?" One of the high-ranking officers whispered.

Hearing this explanation, Wu Gang's face darkened, and after patting the table angrily again, he berated with a sinister cold tone: "Enough, you guys still have the nerve to say such an explanation? Even if you give me more reasons and explanations, I still won't be interested in listening to your nonsensical answers. My goal is only to smoothly take over the Blood Illusion Valley and get the thing that the Duke wants, I don't care about anything else! The reason why I let you all drag it down, is so that you all can adjust your condition and continue your assault, is purely a waste of your lives, I do not want a small Blood Illusion Valley to become a bare general before I can take him down. "

"Then, can the Witch General send out your subordinate groups of heavy infantry to assist us when we attack the city tomorrow?" A general who seemed to have some ideas suddenly asked.

"Sure! If the imperial army arrives, can I let you deal with it? " Wu Gang replied indifferently, but the next question caused the few of them to fall into a deadlock once again.

"This ?" Hearing Wu Gang's words, the group of people became speechless. They knew that the matter that Wu Gang had mentioned was definitely not fear-mongering, and they were sure that it would happen within a hundred percent of the time.

If there was really an Imperial army surrounding and annihilating them, then it was definitely not something that those Blood Illusion Valley who didn't understand military affairs could compare to. At that time, the war would be even worse than it was now.

But what Wu Gang did not notice was that when he brought up this topic, the expressions of those generals became unnatural, as if they were deliberately hiding something! They seemed to have their own ulterior motives.

However, even if Wu Gang saw all of these, he wouldn't mind, because he had already made a decision for himself on the way back. If the situation went on smoothly, after finishing the battle with the Blood Illusion Valley, he could bring his subordinates along and 'retreat with him'.

As for the mess that followed, it had nothing to do with him. He believed that the person he wanted to rely on would take care of everything.

"What is it? Doubt my words? We are fighting intensely here, do you think the imperial government will let us go? Wake up! Dealing with the Blood Illusion Valley is nothing, the main cause is still yet to come! " Wu Gang didn't hear the response of the generals, and thought that they didn't believe his judgement.

"? ?." According to the Witch General's consciousness, does that mean if the imperial army comes to surround and annihilate us, then it would be the General and the soldiers under your command who deal with us? " They were silent again. After a long while, one of them suddenly interrupted them meaningfully.

"Do you think you can handle it?" Wu Gang calmly nodded and replied.

"..." Hearing Wu Gang's reply, the few of them felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from their hearts. Although they did not reveal any emotions on the surface, but if one were to carefully look at them, it would be very easy to see that they had suddenly become a lot more relaxed, as if a huge problem had been solved.

"I don't want to say anything more. Tomorrow is our last chance. For safety's sake, I've decided to leave camp in the afternoon of the third day! So you only have a day and a half to make good use of it! I wish you all good luck! " Wu Gang waved his hand and ordered them to leave at the same time.

"In that case, we will take our leave first!" They didn't say anything else and left after bowing.

"Oh, right. I also have a pretty lady here. If there's anything you need, you can choose to go back after venting. This will save you from going back with a belly full of fire!" Wu Gang suddenly thought of something, and reminded his.

"Humph ?!" Some of the bad-tempered people once again revealed an unfriendly expression as they coldly snorted.

Although the few generals had left the camp in anger, they were not kind people. They certainly wanted to miss out on the drama of 'Wandering Dragon and Phoenix', and it was a good show of 'One with the Phoenix'.

For those people who had not seen meat for a long time, this was definitely the biggest attraction. Thus, under the guidance of the personal guards, they excitedly rushed to the woman's temporary residence.

And this woman was none other than Lu Baihuan's wife. Ever since she had been left in the army by Wu Gang, she had been ordered to use her body to reward those who had rendered meritorious service.

Looking disdainfully at those people being led by his own personal guards to vent the worms in his head, Wu Gang did not say anything. Perhaps it was because they were about to be separated from each other, but at the same time, Wu Gang felt relieved in both his heart and mind that he did not become a complete piece of trash like those other people.

"Witch General, you seem to be in a good mood!" A mocking voice suddenly sounded from the tent.

Wu Gang raised his head and looked. Seeing that the person who spoke was Fan Tian He, he did not reveal any expression, as he was basically immune to this half of his' companion 'who could appear by his side at any time, although he would sometimes admire his ability to appear and disappear at any time, but at least he would feel a little uncomfortable. After all, he did not know when the person would appear, so wouldn't he have no privacy in front of him?

"How do you know?" Wu Gang laughed, then asked.

"When I saw the casualty count, I knew the general would be in a good mood!" Fan Tian He found a random seat and sat down before speaking.

"You seem to know me quite well!" Wu Gang said as he rapped his fingers on the table.

"Not only that, I watched the brilliant scene of the general's war of words from the very beginning!" General truly lives up to his reputation as a master of martial arts and literature! " Fan Tian clapped his hands and continued speaking.

"You saw it all?" Wu Gang asked in reply.

"Of course, I also saw some interesting things! I wonder if Witch General is interested to know about it? "

"Oh? Tell me about it! " Wu Gang was also suddenly curious. He was also interested in the "interested" matter that Fan Tian had mentioned.
