C781 Someone must be Sacrificed!
C781 Someone must be Sacrificed!
The lifeless camp instantly returned to a lively state.
Everyone moved very quickly. In less than two hours, they were all ready.
Whether it was Shen Ze or the others, they could all imagine that the enemy would not watch helplessly as Zhao Hsinghua and the others came to their aid. They would definitely send more soldiers to intercept Zhao Hsinghua and the others.
If the enemy did this, it would obviously make Zhao Hsinghua and the others rush over.
In order to avoid such a thing, after everyone was ready, Shen Ze made a prompt decision and ordered everyone to pretend that they were trying to break out of the encirclement and create some trouble for the enemy army.
Shen Ze wanted to use this to attract the enemy army's attention. He wanted the enemy army's main force to surround them instead of intercepting Zhao Hsinghua and the others.
With this plan in mind, Shen Ze sent a portion of his forces to stir up trouble and attract the enemy forces' attention.
Of course, Shen Ze and the others pretended to break out of the encirclement just to attract the attention of the enemy forces.
When Shen Ze and the others took action, the enemy forces thought that Shen Ze and the others were really going to break out of the encirclement, so they placed most of their forces on Shen Ze and the others. They only sent a small portion of their forces to intercept Zhao Hsinghua and the others.
This had created the greatest opportunity for Zhao Hsinghua and the others.
Due to the enemy having too few soldiers, they were unable to stop the Qilin Army.
In the end, although it was an hour later than expected, Zhao Hsinghua still brought the Qilin Army to the outside of the city where Shen Ze and the others were.
After arriving at the destination, Zhao Hsinghua contacted Shen Ze immediately.
After receiving the news that the Qilin Army had arrived, Shen Ze ordered the army to attack and break out of the encirclement.
Of course, when Shen Ze and the others were trying their best to break out of the encirclement, Zhao Hsinghua and the others also attacked the enemy army that surrounded Shen Ze and the others.
The cooperation between the two sides from the inside and the outside had a very good effect.
Of course, because the enemy had deployed millions of soldiers here, they had a large number of people, and their combat strength was extremely terrifying.
Even if Zhao Hsinghua and Shen Ze cooperated with each other, they would not be able to break out of the encirclement for a while. This was destined to be a very difficult battle.
Clearly, the enemy kingdom didn't want Shen Ze and the others to break out of the encirclement. If they didn't annihilate Shen Ze and the others, it would be an indelible humiliation to the enemy kingdom, and would make the world laugh at them.
After all, as a super powerful country, it was fine to let Shen Ze and the others attack. After the capital was occupied and so many people were killed, if they couldn't wipe out Shen Ze and the others and let them safely retreat to Dragon Country, the enemy kingdom would lose its prestige in the future. It wouldn't be able to establish itself in the world anymore.
Therefore, under the circumstances where these things had already happened, the enemy would never allow Shen Ze and the others to return to the Dragon Country. No matter what price they had to pay, they would annihilate Shen Ze and the others.
The enemy would mobilize all the soldiers they could to surround Shen Ze and the others.
The battle was so intense that it seemed like it was not over yet. Shen Ze and the others did not manage to break out of the encirclement for a long time.
However, under the situation where they were working together, there was still some effect.
Shen Ze and the others had surprisingly joined up with Zhao Hsinghua and the others.
When the two parties joined together, their combat strength had increased by a level.
However, even so, they could not completely clear the obstacles in a short period of time and successfully break out of the encirclement.
"Grand Marshal, if we continue to drag things on like this, we will all be dragged to death. None of us will be able to escape."
Qin Chao suggested to Shen Ze, "Marshal, order some of you to break out of the encirclement. Some of you stay and stop them."
Qin Chao seemed to have made up his mind. He said, "I am willing to stay and stop the enemy."
Qin Chao's intention was clear. He wanted some people to stay behind to stop the enemy and create a chance for the others to escape.
Of course, this sounded easy, but it was very cruel and bloody.
After all, some people had to die, and only a few could live!
Shen Ze did not say anything about Qin Chao's suggestion.
Shen Ze had always wanted to bring everyone back to Dragon Country safely. He didn't want to leave any brothers who would throw away their heads and shed their blood.
Qin Chao knew what Shen Ze was thinking. He then said, "General, I know you want to bring all of your brothers back, but the current situation does not allow you to do this."
"You and I both know that if we keep dragging this on, no one will be able to leave. We will only be eaten by the enemy step by step."
"Right now, we can only choose to sacrifice a portion of our people and let the other portion return alive!"
Qin Chao was clearly telling the truth.
Since Qin Chao could see this, Shen Ze could naturally see it as well.
The current situation was indeed very bad. They had to make such a choice. Otherwise, no one would be able to leave.
The reason Shen Ze didn't make such a decision right away was because he still wanted to bring everyone back.
But now, the situation had forced Shen Ze to make a decision.
Shen Ze knew that he needed to make a decision as soon as possible, because after a while, the casualties on his side would increase.
Shen Ze had also thought about how he could break out of the encirclement and bring his brothers back to Dragon Country as much as possible.
After thinking about it, only Qin Chao's idea was the best. He could only choose to sacrifice a portion of his people and let the other part leave.
This was the solution, but how could he give such an order?
To anyone who wanted to return alive, who would be willing to stay and sacrifice?
If Shen Ze wanted to give such an order, who should he let stay?
Knowing that staying was death, how could Shen Ze give such an order so easily?
Shen Ze was not a god, but a man. Even if he was the commander of the three armies, he did not have the right to decide the life and death of others.
Of course, war was cruel. There had to be sacrifices.
Now, even if he did not want to give orders, he could only give orders.
Therefore, after struggling for a while, Shen Ze still gave orders.
With the blessing of martial power, under a secret situation, he conveyed his meaning to the soldiers.
"In this situation, we can only withdraw a portion of the people and the remaining portion to defend against the enemy."
"I won't force anyone. Those who are willing to stay, stay."
Shen Ze really could not force a portion of the people to stay. He could only convey this meaning and let the soldiers make their own decisions.
When the country was in danger, there would always be some people who were willing to stand out and work for the country, even if they had to pay the price of blood.
When they were almost in a desperate situation, At this time when they were almost in a desperate situation, there were still people who took the initiative to stand up. Even if they had to sacrifice themselves, they had to let their brothers return!
