Chapter 586: Heavenly Crossing
Xiao Shentian was also an emperor on horseback.
Therefore, he also understands the art of war.
After Xie Xunfeng's brief instruction, everything suddenly became clear...
"Xunfeng, you are right... so... does that mean we can only retreat now?" Xiao Shentian said.
After hearing what Xiao Shentian said, Xie Xunfeng nodded and said, "That's right... There is only one natural barrier in Daxia that can be defended... That's Xingtian Ferry!"
As Xie Xunfeng spoke, he walked to the map beside him and began to look at it carefully.
After hearing what Xie Xunfeng said, Xiao Shentian and Guan Chong both walked up...
He came to the side of the map, then frowned slightly, and then said, "If we hold Xingtian Ferry... it would be equivalent to handing over most of our Great Xia to those aliens..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Shentian at this time, "Your Majesty, at this point, you still don't want to believe me? If you listen to me... you can preserve your maximum strength... They have an army of 500,000. After breaking through the defense of the southern border, they will definitely advance rashly."
"After they break through the natural barrier of the southern border, there is nothing that can stop them... So, they now have several possibilities... One is to slowly erode the territory of Daxia, and then wait for your army to come and encircle and suppress them, and then consume your manpower. This way, you only need to take your time. In less than half a year, all the elites of Daxia will perish. By then, the entire Daxia will be untouched by them..."
"The other way is to rush over like a tide and occupy the most territory at the fastest speed... However, I think that if the opponent has any brains, they will not use this method. Because, they will inevitably extend the battle line infinitely, and there will be no protection for them, the aliens."
"So, I personally think that any general with a bit of military strategy would use the first method..."
"If they use the first method, it will give us enough time... We will have our people retreat as quickly as possible... retreat to the city on the Tianxing Ferry side and minimize the losses... On the other hand, we will send people to defend the Xingtian Ferry... In this way, we can reduce the current losses to a minimum..."
After hearing Xie Xunfeng's analysis, Guan Chong quickly said, "Your Majesty...what my elder brother said makes sense...this is the only way we can do now..."
Xiao Shentian was also an excellent general, and he naturally saw that Xie Xunfeng's analysis was correct...
Therefore, Xiao Shentian immediately handed the military token to Guan Chong and asked him to mobilize the troops...
Seeing this, Xie Xunfeng also said to Xiao Shentian, "Your Majesty... I was telling you the same thing before... I thought that thing would be very far away... But now it seems that everything is happening very quickly... We must put aside all doubts at this time... Only by exchanging what we have with each other can the two countries of Xia and Zhou have a chance of survival... Otherwise, we will surely die..."
After reading Xie Xunfeng's words, Xiao Shentian couldn't help but nodded.
To be honest, just an hour ago, he had sneered at those strange people, or the strange people described by Xie Xunfeng...
However, that 800-mile express delivery was like a slap in the face to Xiao Shentian.
This forced Xiao Shentian to face these problems head on.
