War God Returns

In order to protect his own people as much as possible, Shen Ze had no choice but to order everyone to charge into a small city and defend, giving up on breaking out of the encirclement.    

    

Before this, they had only retreated a hundred kilometers, but they had already lost tens of thousands of people. Now, there were only four hundred thousand people left in the small city.    

    

The enemy side had already mobilized nearly 1.2 million soldiers to surround the entire small city.    

    

Of course, even though the number of soldiers was much smaller than before, Shen Ze and the others were still very strong. Under the situation of defending the city, the enemy army would not be able to surround Shen Ze and the others in a short period of time.    

    

It was night.    

    

In a hotel in the small city.    

    

Shen Ze gathered all the generals for a meeting.    

    

"The situation is not looking good. The enemy is gathering more and more soldiers. If this continues, we will be completely trapped in this city." Li Guangrong said in a deep voice. He roughly described the current situation.    

    

After everyone heard Li Guangrong's description, their expressions became extremely solemn.    

    

Obviously, everyone deeply realized that the current situation was very bad.    

    

"I feel that we need to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible. Otherwise, if this continues, we will lose more and more opportunities." Someone suggested.    

    

"That's right. If we don't break out of the encirclement as soon as possible, we will have the enemy gather even more troops to surround us. At that time, we won't have the chance to break out completely." Someone echoed.    

    

The others nodded their heads when they heard this, expressing their agreement.    

    

Li Guangrong frowned and said in a deep voice, "Right now, breaking out of the encirclement is also extremely difficult. The enemy country has already mobilized over a million soldiers to surround this small city. They have too many people, so it is very difficult to deal with."    

    

Hearing Li Guangrong say that the enemy had already mobilized over a million soldiers to surround the city, the others all frowned, and their expressions became even more solemn.    

    

Everyone was very clear that their side only had over four hundred thousand people, and the enemy had over a million soldiers. The disparity in strength was too great, and no one could see any hope of breaking out of the encirclement.    

    

Could it be that they were really in a desperate situation right now, and could only wait for death?    

    

This thought involuntarily popped up in everyone's hearts.    

    

Even though they had such thoughts, they were still very unwilling. They didn't want to be trapped here and die just like that.    

    

After a moment of silence, the scene was silent for a while. Someone said with a sonorous voice, "Even if the enemy countries have mobilized millions of soldiers to surround the city, we still have to break out. If all of us die, then I would rather die standing!"    

    

"Right, I would rather die standing than live kneeling. Since we don't break out of the encirclement, staying here is equivalent to waiting for death. Why don't we fight it out? Even if we die in battle, we have to make the enemy pay a huge price!"    

    

"Right. Before coming here this time, we have already made preparations to sacrifice ourselves. If the final outcome is death, then we must die with value. We cannot die in vain."    

    

"At this time, breaking out of the encirclement, we will break out as much as we can. No matter how many we have, we can also kill our enemies. No matter how you look at it, it is a worthwhile deal."    

    

"Yeah, let's break out now. The resources we brought are still sufficient. We can launch a counterattack!"    

    

One had to admit that everyone was very courageous. They would not choose to sit and wait for death. Each and every one of them had a lot of fighting spirit. If they wanted to break out of the encirclement, they would not hesitate even if they died in battle.    

    

Except for Shen Ze who didn't say anything, everyone else seemed to have come to a consensus. They all wanted to break out of the encirclement, and they all supported it.    

    

Of course, the most important thing was to see what Shen Ze was thinking.    

    

After all, Shen Ze was the backbone. He was the general and everything was up to him to decide.    

    

Therefore, after everyone expressed their opinions, they all turned their eyes to Shen Ze. They all wanted to hear what Shen Ze was thinking.    

    

Sensing everyone's gazes, Shen Ze knew that everyone wanted to know what he was thinking.    

    

Therefore, after pondering for a while, Shen Ze said, "I always wanted to bring everyone back to Dragon Country. Of course, I can't do it now, but I still want to bring as many people back as possible."    

    

"I know that everyone is not afraid of death, but as the general, this is my responsibility, my plan, and also what I want to do."    

    

"What everyone says makes sense. I can also imagine that now is indeed the best time to break out of the encirclement. No matter what, it is better than breaking out later, but we will pay a great price for doing so."    

    

"In my opinion, we can wait a little longer."    

    

Shen Ze glanced at everyone and then said, "I have told you before that Zhao Hsinghua has brought Qilin Army to support us."    

    

"If we wait until Zhao Hsinghua brings the three hundred thousand Qilin Army here, then we can work together and break out of the encirclement. That would be much better than breaking out of the encirclement now."    

    

After listening to Shen Ze's words, Everybody thinks it makes sense. They all nodded at the same time.    

    

However, someone still questioned, "Can we hold on until Zhao Hsinghua and the Qilin Army come to our aid?"    

    

"Let's not talk about the enemy congress gathering more soldiers to surround us. Just say that our supplies can't hold on for much longer. If it takes too long, it will be useless."    

    

This person was clearly telling the truth.    

    

This time, in order to advance quickly and be able to break into enemy territory in the shortest time possible, Shen Ze did not ask the troops to bring a lot of supplies. Instead, he only brought ten days worth of supplies.    

    

Now, three days had passed. In addition to the intensity of the battle and the consumption of resources, there were only five days worth of resources left. Moreover, this was under normal circumstances.    

    

If it was to break out of the encirclement, the consumption of resources would be even greater. Five days might only be enough for two or three days. This was a very high possibility.    

    

As Shen Ze had said, it would be best if they could wait for Zhao Hsinghua to bring reinforcements from the Qilin Army. However, they were afraid that Zhao Hsinghua's reinforcements would be too slow, and that Shen Ze and the others would use up all their resources.    

    

If they used up all their resources, Shen Ze and the others would be like tigers whose fangs had been pulled out. They wouldn't have much combat strength left.    

    

If that happened, even if they could cooperate with Zhao Hsinghua's Qilin Army, it would be useless.    

    

After all, if Shen Ze's main force lost their combat strength, it would be useless. Then it must be whimsical to try to break out.    

    

In that situation, not only would Shen Ze's side die, Zhao Hsinghua and the others would also be implicated, and the Qilin Army would also die here.    

    

It was imaginable what would happen if everyone died here. This was because the Dragon Country had suffered such a great loss. It was almost as if they had destroyed themselves without attacking.    

    

Even though the losses of the enemy kingdom were not small, it was still comparable to the Dragon Country. It's better than that.
