Living In Another World With A Farm
Chapter 5456 - 5456 Retreat (1)

Chapter 5456: Retreat (1) Chapter 5456: Retreat (1) Chai lingde stood on the wall of Nanhua Gate City in a daze, looking down at the camp of Zhao Hai’s Army and the tunnel leading down the mountain.

They had originally dug many trenches along the path to defend against Zhao Hai’s attack.

These trenches were all within the attack range of Nanhua Gate city’s bedposts.

They wanted to force Zhao Hai’s group to face these trenches when they attacked the city, and thus, more people would die.

This arrangement seemed really good before, because if Zhao Hai and the others wanted to attack nanhuamen city, these trenches would be enough to make them suffer.

However, what made Chai lingde dumbfounded was that, in addition to the trenches they had dug, there were countless more trenches outside the attack range of the Nanhua Gate City bed miasma.

These trenches were all dug by Zhao Hai and his men, and they were still digging.

Ever since Chai lingde received the news, he had been standing on the city wall in a daze.

Only now did he truly understand how terrifying Zhao Hai was.

Terrifying, too terrifying.

It was as if every step of his plan was within Zhao Hai’s expectations.

Wasn’t this terrifying enough?

Chai lingde sent a letter to the castellan, saying that he wanted to leave the city and set up camp at the foot of the mountain.

This way, they would not have to worry about water and could even stall Zhao Hai.

As for Zhao Hai’s attack, it was all part of Chai lingde’s plan.

He wanted to keep Zhao Hai and the others outside of zhuhua mountain so that they would not enter Nanhua city-state and cause destruction.

It was a good plan, but it didn’t look good at all.

If they wanted to attack from the city, they would have to fill up the trenches they had dug.

It wasn’t difficult since they had their own bed armor to protect them.

Filling up the trenches shouldn’t kill too many people.

However, once Zhao Hai and the others dug the trenches, they had a headache.

They had to face the trenches that Zhao Hai and the others had dug before they could get down the mountain.

It was impossible for Zhao Hai and the others to not use the bed puppets to seal the trenches.

At that time, their 100000-strong Army would have to watch Zhao Hai and the others ‘attacks.

How many of them would survive?

Chai lingde was also surprised by this point.

He realized that Zhao Hai seemed to know about his plan, so he had sealed his plan before they could carry it out.

If Chai lingde were to follow his plan, he would die without knowing how.

At this moment, Shangguan Cheng also walked to Chai lingde’s side.

He looked outside the city and sighed, ” “General, the city Lord has replied.

He doesn’t agree with our plan and wants us to retreat back to the city State and back to Huan He city to set up our defenses.

As long as we can hold out there for a month or so, the reinforcements from the other city states will arrive.

At that time, we won’t have to worry about Zhao Hai and the others.”

Chai lingde nodded, then turned to Shangguan Cheng and said, ” “Alright, let’s go back.

It’s impossible for us to leave the city now, so we might as well leave as soon as possible.”

Shangguan Cheng nodded and said in a deep voice, ” “Then I’ll make the arrangements.

We’ll leave as soon as possible.

If we wait any longer, we’ll really run out of water.

It’ll be troublesome if we leave at that time.”

Chai lingde nodded, ” okay, go make the arrangements.

We will leave tomorrow.

If we can’t take anything from the city, then we will just burn it.

We can’t leave anything for Zhao Hai.

&Quot;

Shangguan Cheng nodded.

&Quot; yes, I understand.

I’ll make the arrangements.

&Quot; Chai lingde nodded and waved his hand.

Shangguan Cheng then retreated.

Chai lingde turned to Zhao Hai and muttered, ” “I won’t let you have an easy time, I definitely won’t.”

Liu Hong noticed the reaction of the people from Nanhua Gate City.

When he saw them packing up, he immediately knew that they were about to leave.

He had never thought that they would attack them.

Therefore, he immediately returned to the camp and asked to see Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai called Liu Hong into the tent and said in a deep voice, ” “How is it?

What’s the reaction from Nanhua Gate City?”

&Quot; Alliance master, ” Liu Hong said in a deep voice.

&Quot; they’ve already started packing up.

It looks like they’re going to leave.

What should we do?

”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, ” it’s good that they’re retreating.

If they’re retreating, we’ll be able to cross the zhuhua mountain.

Liu Hong, you don’t have to monitor them anymore.

Immediately lead your scouting team over the zhuhua mountain and enter Nanhua city-state.

Draw a detailed map of Nanhua city-state for me.

At the same time, take a look at where their Army is retreating to.

Oh right, if there’s a suitable ambush spot, you have to report back immediately.

Go.

&Quot;

&Quot; Yes, sir!

&Quot; Liu Hong replied and immediately left the tent.

He then led his scouting team out of the camp.

Once he left, Zhao Hai immediately called the other generals into the main tent.

After everyone was seated, Zhao Hai looked at them and said, ” “I’ll tell everyone a piece of bad news.

I hope everyone can be mentally prepared.” After saying that, Zhao Hai stopped and looked at the crowd.

When they heard the bad news, their faces turned serious and they stared at Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai looked at them and sighed, ” &Quot; the bad news is that we have dug those trenches for nothing.

They are useless.

I’m afraid the people in Nanhua Gate City will have to retreat.

&Quot;

Hearing Zhao Hai’s words, everyone was stunned.

Then, they understood.

Zhao Haixue was teasing them.

The people from Nanhua Gate City were retreating.

In other words, Zhao Hai’s plan had succeeded.

The people from Nanhua Gate City could not hold on any longer.

They were about to escape.

They had taken down Nanhua Gate City without wasting a single soldier!

At the thought of this, everyone could not help but feel excited.

Zhao Hai looked at them and laughed, ” &Quot; alright, everyone, let’s inform the others to stop digging.

It’s quite tiring.

Let’s all come back and rest for two days.

After that, we can cross the zhuhua mountain.

Go and make the arrangements.

&Quot;

Everyone responded at the same time and stood up.

They cupped their fists at Zhao Hai and turned to leave.

However, they were extremely excited.

Most of these generals had participated in the battle between the sacred Institute and the New Year’s 19th.

At that time, they were blocked outside Nanhua Gate City and returned in defeat.

At that time, they had thought of many ways and used many tricks, but the South China Gate was like an iron roller.

No matter what they thought of, they could not move it.

But now?

Now, Zhao Hai did not even waste a single soldier.

In less than a month, he had made the people in Nanhua Gate City retreat.

They did not even have a single injured person.

The difference was too great.

Many of the generals were bitterly knowing that they could not do anything.

They could not help but smile bitterly.

They had lost so miserably last time because they could not take down Nanhua Gate City.

If they had used Zhao Hai’s tactics last time and also cut off the water supply at the Nanhua gate, the other party would only have two choices.

They would have to go out of the city to fight, or they would have to leave Nanhua Gate City and give way to zhuhua mountain.

No matter the result, they would not have lost so miserably.

The difference, the difference was too great.

Nian Yijiu’s ability in military command was too great compared to Zhao Hai’s.

They had no choice but to admit it.

Now, Zhao Hai’s Army had stopped digging trenches.

On the contrary, they had begun to prepare to fill the trenches.

When the soldiers heard that the trenches they had just dug had to be filled up again, they did not have any complaints.

They had no reason to complain.

If they could defeat the enemy by digging trenches, who would be willing to fight the enemy with a knife?

when the soldiers heard that the enemy in nanhuamen city was going to retreat and they had won, they were all very happy.

They knew it.

Last time, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the anti-Saint Academy Alliance had been defeated at this Nanhua Gate City, with countless casualties.

They had been worried about the battle at Nanhua Gate City, but now they heard that the battle was over and they had won.

How could they not be happy?

Chai lingde was not in the mood to care about what Zhao Hai and the others thought.

They packed their things for the day and left Nanhua Gate City the next day.

They returned to Nanhua City State and prepared to form another line of defense at Huan He city to stop Zhao Hai and the others ‘attack.

Zhao Hai soon got the news of Chai lingde’s departure.

He knew it when he saw the blazing fire in nanhuamen city.

Chai lingde couldn’t take away some of the large weapons, so he had to burn them.

The blazing fire was a signal to let them know that they had retreated.

After Zhao Hai saw the fire, he also sent a Wukong-level master to the sky to take a look.

He found that the guards of Nanhua Gate City had indeed left, but the city was now a sea of fire, and no one could get in.

Zhao Hai was not in a hurry.

He started to have the Army slowly fill up the trenches that they and the guards in nanhuamen city had dug.

At the same time, he had the Army dig a river channel for the water that flowed out of the cave so that it would not block their way.

It would also not form a River at the foot of zhuhua mountain when they returned, which would be troublesome.

Therefore, he still had a lot to do.

There was no need to rush over zhuhua mountain.

He just had to wait.

After a few days of filling the trenches and digging the river, their path forward was finally clear.

The fire in nanhuamen city had also been extinguished.

Zhao Hai and the others could finally leave.

These days, Zhao Hai had also received some news from Liu Hong and the others.

They didn’t find a suitable place to ambush them, but they did draw a map.

At the same time, they also found Chai lingde’s target.

They had built a line of defense at Huan He city, which was a rather troublesome matter.

The Huan River City was on the other side of the river.

The water flow was very fast, and the surface was wide and deep.

Other than boats and bridges, soldiers could not cross the river.

There was a bridge on the river, an iron chain Bridge.

However, Chai lingde and the others had destroyed it, making it even more difficult for Zhao Hai and the others to cross.

Apart from destroying the bridge, Chai lingde also did something else, which was to steal grain!

That’s right, Chai lingde did Rob grain, and it wasn’t anyone else’s grain, but the Nanhua city-state’s people on the bank of the Huan River.

In other words, Chai lingde had ordered his people to Rob their own grain, and he had even abandoned them on the bank of the Huan River.

This news surprised Zhao Hai, as he really didn’t expect Chai lingde to do this.
