Douluo: Starting from the engagement with Zhu Zhuqing

Tiandou Imperial City.

It was quiet inside the imperial city. The entire imperial city seemed to be shrouded in darkness, without much light.

Only the soldiers on curfew patrol, the sound of heavy footsteps and the sound of armor clashing, echoed in the streets.

There was a state of solemnity in the palace, and the usual maids everywhere were replaced by armored men.

A soldier, holding a talisman and using a sensitive attack spirit, rushed towards the Prince Regent's Mansion. The guards at the palace gate were shocked when they saw the talisman in this man's hand and opened the closed city gate. After passing through several city gates, the soldier entered the Regent's Palace without any obstruction.

The Regent ordered: Military information is urgently reported. No one shall delay the report. Anyone who violates it shall be executed.

"Report!"

The soldier's heavy breathing was extremely jarring in the extremely solemn atmosphere of the Prince Regent's Palace.

In the Regent's Palace, Regent Tang San, Prince Snow Star, several titled Douluo from the Haotian Sect, Yu Xiaogang and other Shrek Academy teachers had exhaustion written all over their faces. The situation on the battlefield was so dangerous that they had no time to rest.

Tang San, who was sitting high on the throne, immediately looked away from the map. His eyes, which had not been closed for dozens of days, were full of bloodshot eyes. He stared at the soldier, frowning and said coldly:

"explain!"

"Reporting to King Lan Hao, Xilu City...has rebelled!"

The soldier reported back.

Upon hearing the news, a surge of electricity rushed through Tang Tiantian's spirit, and he woke up instantly. He immediately came to the map, stared at the geographical location of Xilu City, and his expression changed instantly.

Yu Xiaogang's face was as dark as water, and he said solemnly:

"Xilu City is adjacent to the sea and is an important border town. There is no danger to defend the rear. Xilu City's counterattack means that the Wuhun Empire will march straight in, and the Wuhun Empire troops at Jialing Pass will attack my main force retreating from Jialing Pass. A pincer offensive will be formed.”

"If our empire's troops retreat any slower, they might be completely wiped out."

The titled Douluo of Haotian Sect were shocked when they heard Yu Xiaogang's analysis.

Tang Xiao frowned tightly. It could be said that he had not relaxed for so many days.

In the past three years, the powerful men of the Haotian Sect have often fought against the soul masters of the Wuhun Empire. Because their numbers were inferior to those of the Wuhun Empire, they were consumed by the Wuhun Empire in turn, and everyone was exhausted. If it weren't for the powerful spirit of the Clear Sky Hammer, they would have been unable to hold on long ago.

He slowly moved the flags marking the enemy and ourselves on the military sand table. After a moment, he said with great heaviness:

"Once Jialing Pass was defeated, the 300,000-strong army lost its momentum; once Xilu City fell, the Wuhun Empire marched straight in. As a result, nearly one-fifth of the empire's area and the vast plains in the southern part of the empire would fall to the Wuhun Empire. hand. Can we... still win?"

As soon as these words came out, the palace fell into dead silence.

The situation is completely at a disadvantage. If you are not careful, the empire will become history. Although Tang San seized the power of the empire, they were at loggerheads with the empire. If the Tiandou Empire died, they would only die.

After a long time, Tang San slowly inserted the Tiandou Empire's military flag onto a pass, his tone full of convincing:

"There is no need to be trapped in the southern part of the empire. Pull all the troops back to the north and clear the country so that the Spirit Empire cannot support war with war and lengthen their supply lines."

"Then here we are, wearing them down."

Everyone looked in the direction Tang San pointed, and it turned out to be Zhennanguan Pass!

Zhennanguan Pass, as the name suggests, is the last barrier of the Tiandou Empire. It has high mountains and dense forests, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the attacker wants to break through Zhennanguan, he will need at least ten times the force to break through.

"The empire can still mobilize millions of troops to defend Zhennang Pass. Although our army is now in decline, the people's support is still there. As long as we work together, we will be able to drag the people of the Spirit Empire to Zhennang Pass!"

Tang San said firmly.

Of course Yu Xiaogang understood the characteristics of Zhennanguan, sighed and said:

"King Lan Hao, as expected, we can indeed hold back the Wuhun Empire at Zhennang Pass, but we are also unable to attack at Zhennang Pass. If we cannot defeat the main force of the Wuhun Empire, we will only die slowly in the end. ·······”

Tang San couldn't help but clenched his hands, and glanced at the dejected and confused faces of everyone, feeling powerless all over his body. As the head of a country, how could he not understand the situation on the battlefield? Taking a deep breath, he said slowly:

"Indeed, we cannot defeat the main force of the Wuhun Empire. But fighting at Zhennanguan can greatly lengthen the Wuhun Empire's supply line. By then, their armies will have to spread out and occupy vast territories, and the situation will also change. It will become a stalemate."

"At that time, we only need to wait for an opportunity to defeat their effective strength and fight back in one fell swoop!"

After everyone heard this, they gradually understood Tang San's thoughts. Now they can only delay and wait for a turning point. If there is a turning point, they can fight back. If not, they can only wait to die slowly.

But it all depends on God’s will.

Will God give them a chance to live?

No one knows, but everyone here knows that this is the best plan.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Several maids pushed the door open and entered. The leader was holding a bowl of hot Bazhen soup. He carefully looked at the people present, and then said respectfully to Tang San:

"Your Highness, the empress saw you working day and night and cooked this bowl of Bazhen soup for you. Please try it..."

After seeing the visitor, Tang San showed no expression on his face and said coldly:

"No need, I'm not in the mood to drink now. I won't bother calling her later."

Tang San's indifferent attitude made the chief maid stunned, and she wanted to persuade her:

"But······"

Tang San's eyes were filled with blood, a chill hit the head maid, and he said coldly:

"Don't make me say it a second time."

The maid looked like she had fallen into an ice cave, almost dropping the Bazhen Tang in her hand. She exited the door tremblingly, said 'yes', and then left immediately.

Yu Xiaogang sighed secretly, they all saw Tang San's attitude towards Empress Xue Ke. However, this was Tang San's family matter after all. After they tried to persuade him several times and there was no change, they couldn't say anything else...

······

The capital of hell, the road to hell.

The boundless ocean of blood suddenly began to riot.

The King of Hell folded his bat wings and sat on the road to Hell, silently looking at the magma below. After a long time, he let out a sigh.

Qingming's eyes were no longer as bloodthirsty as before, but instead were full of reason and calm. Tang Chen has woken up from the control of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, but now he is trapped in the Capital of Hell forever.

The road to hell was the path he had been pursuing for many years, but his body was no longer qualified to pursue it.

"Bo Saixi, I'm sorry, I can't even see you for the last time. I am trapped here forever, just like you, fulfilling the responsibility of being a high priest..."

Tang Chen murmured, his voice containing endless sadness.
