Chapter 2775 Panlong's Biggest Weakness
“Zhang Kangyi and Du Shi’an’s hasty retreat must have been the Emperor’s decree.” Gao Huaiyuan was now on pins and needles. “The Emperor has probably discovered that I defied the imperial decree to attack Mingsha Forest, so he ordered these two armies to retreat immediately. General Hong will then have no worries about the rear and can rush to the aid of Mingsha Forest. Heh, they might have even communicated with each other!”
This differed from the intelligence he had received earlier. The fact that General Hong dared to withdraw all 200,000 troops at once, leaving only a few thousand to guard the original battle line, indicated that she was very certain that Zhang Kang's two armies would not launch a counterattack. This was not only the result of communication between the two sides, but also General Hong's accurate assessment of Bega's national situation and the Demon Emperor's psychology.
At this moment, the Demon Emperor's heart was aligned with Panlong's.
Gao Huaiyuan knew all too well the operational efficiency of her and Dafeng Army. Despite the distance between the two places, General Hong would surely arrive at Mingsha Forest before dawn.
Sigh, should we send troops to intercept them?
If one Tiger Wing General is already this troublesome, and if another "God of War" Red General is added, then the famous Panlong Twin Stars will have successfully joined forces, instantly making up for Panlong's lack of high-end combat power. In that case, the prospects for this war are not optimistic.
However, there is a "but," given the formidable fighting capabilities of General Hong and the Dafeng Army, Gao Huaiyuan must send the elite of the Bega army to intercept them. Not only must there be a large number of them, but there must also be seven or eight powerful figures accompanying them.
At least seven or eight, no less. And that would only have the effect of intercepting and delaying, not defeating her.
In other words, high-end combat forces need to be allocated from the current battlefield in the Singing Sand Forest.
However, Panlong's previous plan to kill gods was quite successful. More than twenty of the Bega Immortal Demons have fallen, and the remaining high-level combatants are all of great use.
Gao Huaiyuan now has two options: either not to divide his troops or to intercept General Hong, but to launch a full-scale attack on Mingshalin and take another gamble on taking Panlong before dawn;
Alternatively, he could detach 20,000 elite troops, each with seven or eight top-tier warriors, to intercept General Red. However, this would undoubtedly reduce the pressure on Panlong in the Mingsha Forest, potentially dragging out the battle until dawn without defeating it, while his own troops intercepting General Red would also be bogged down in a bitter struggle, making no progress on either end and leaving him in a dilemma.
As the head coach, how should he weigh the options?
Gao Huaiyuan pondered for a long time, and was about to give the order when hurried footsteps sounded outside again, and his confidant handed him a mirror with both hands:
"General, Zhang Kangyi requests a meeting."
The so-called meeting was actually just instant messaging. Zhang Kangyi himself was still far away from here.
Upon hearing this, Gao Huaiyuan slammed his fist on the table.
This is just making things more chaotic and frustrating.
Of course, despite his frustration, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't refuse the call, otherwise the other party would become even more suspicious.
He took the mirror and threw it on the table. He took two deep breaths to calm himself before reaching out to touch the mirror and then patting the frame twice.
The reflection in the mirror quickly changed, transforming from himself into Zhang Kangyi.
"Commander Gao, why haven't you withdrawn your troops yet?" Zhang Kangying asked him directly without wasting any words.
“General Zhang, you are unaware of the truth,” Gao Huaiyuan replied solemnly. “I received the Emperor’s decree and was about to withdraw the troops when the Panlong Army of Mingsha Forest launched a surprise attack while the Emperor’s Lava was erupting! If we do not repel them, how can our army withdraw safely?”
In recent years, the Emperor's Dew has frequently visited the human world. In wars, there have indeed been tactics of launching surprise attacks when the Emperor's Dew descends, which is known as "stealing the wind, stealing the rain, and stealing the Emperor's Dew".
Zhang Kangyi couldn't really criticize him for saying that.
"Have you communicated with the commander of Panlong?" Zhang Kang asked again, changing his angle. "Panlong should be more than happy to see Beijia withdraw its troops, so why are they attacking and obstructing us?"
"I tried to communicate with Chen Enya several times, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea," Gao Huaiyuan said with a wry smile. "The other side was focused on fighting, and I was completely baffled."
"I see." Zhang Kang said this, but his expression was practically screaming "I don't believe it." However, he was too lazy to argue with Gao Huaiyuan. "Also, Lao Du received a report that many celestial beings seemed to have appeared on the Mingshalin battlefield."
“Yes,” Gao Huaiyuan did not deny it. “Panlong’s offensive was extremely vicious and ruthless. We had no choice but to ask for divine intervention to resist the enemy’s immortal attack.”
Seeing that he insisted that the other side had attacked first, Zhang Kangyi stopped dwelling on the topic and simply said, "I urge Commander Gao to communicate actively with Panlong. Old Du and I will head to provide support immediately. Even if we have to retreat, we must not diminish our prestige!"
Gao Huaiyuan's jaw tightened, but he still managed a slight smile: "Thank you for your trouble, Generals."
When the communication ended, the ripples on the mirror disappeared, and the reflection changed back to his own face.
Gao Huaiyuan's smile faded. Was Zhang Kangyi here to lend him a hand?
Ha, ha! It's more like they're helping Panlong.
The Emperor feared that the gods would defeat Panlong and seize the Great Pot, and he also discovered signs of Gao Huaiyuan's disobedience. That's why he sent Zhang Kangyi and Du Shi'an to supervise.
If the two generals confirm that Gao Huaiyuan has disobeyed orders, they will surely be ordered to punish the rebel!
Bega's army fighting Bega's army, tsk!
Although the scene would be absurd and ugly, the Demon Emperor was more concerned about not having his throne overthrown, and probably wouldn't care about saving face.
If chaos erupts and Gao Huaiyuan's hundreds of thousands of men are completely bewildered, how can they possibly fight with peace of mind?
They were Bega's army, all believing they served the empire and obeyed the Demon Emperor. How many of them were truly loyal to Gao Huaiyuan?
How many people would truly dare to stand against Lingxu City, Zhang Kangyi, and Du Shi'an for Gao Huaiyuan and the Heavenly God?
Even if he did, his army was divided.
By then, there will be no need to continue this battle. Gao Huaiyuan's gamble this time will have been a complete failure, and the Gao family will surely be executed along with their entire clan!
Gao Huaiyuan clenched his fist silently.
Then a faint voice came from behind him and asked, "Now that things have come to this, what do you plan to do?"
"We're not going to intercept General Hong anymore." Zhang Kangyi's communication forced Gao Huaiyuan to make a decision: "Concentrate our forces and launch a strong attack on Mingsha Forest!"
He composed himself and analyzed, "I think the power of the Dragon Binding Formation has decreased, and the giant elephant legion is about to break free. This may be because Panlong has concentrated its energy supply to the central army and Tiger Wing General, and can only draw it from other parts."
“Absolutely right!” As expected of the commander-in-chief appointed by the Holy Venerable, Gao Huaiyuan’s vision remained accurate and his mind remained calm even at this critical juncture. “The Holy Venerable just said that the biggest weakness of Panlong has finally been revealed at this stage of the battle! It had not been exposed before.”
It's not just that our army is smaller than Bega's, nor is it just that we have fewer high-level combat forces like immortals and demons!
Gao Huaiyuan said respectfully, "I would like to hear the details!"
