All the behaviors of Yu Panxi in the past two days, they are the people who are responsible for following her and protecting her.

Far from complaining about being tired like an ordinary daughter, this weak-looking general's wife was worried about the soldiers stationed on the frontier all day long. Even if these dry food were transported over was only a drop in the bucket, she still did everything herself, just to send these things over quickly.

That alone was enough to impress the soldiers with her. Coupled with what Yu Panxi said to the shopkeeper yesterday, they could naturally guess the intention, and because of this, they became more and more convinced of her.

It's just that for these things, Yu Panxi doesn't want to guess, and she doesn't have the heart to guess, and now she is full of concern about the situation on Xiao Chumo's side.

On the border of Ningguo, in a city garrisoned by the army, Xiao Chumo sat on the main seat above, looking at the recent battle report sent from below, but his brows were furrowed.

Several lieutenant generals and Wei Lun also sat on the sidelines and watched, they didn't say anything, but Vice General Xu, who had never been able to hold his breath, couldn't help but shout.

"The national strength of Nanjin State is not comparable to ours, even if the first emperor was in short supply of materials in the army, they can only barely fight with us, not to mention that the situation in the army has begun to improve now. This time, I was just a little caught off guard by the way of those villains, why did they retreat one after another? ”

Although this person is really straightforward on weekdays, the words he said at this time were what everyone present wanted to ask, but he hadn't asked yet.

When Xiao Chumo heard this, he also looked at the other lieutenant generals below. Except for him and Vice General Xu, as well as Wei Lun, who caught up later, they have been stationed here, and they must have more or less understood the situation.

Among these people here, Xiao Chumo was originally the highest rank, and his previous military exploits were obvious to everyone. At this moment, as soon as he saw him looking towards him, one of the generals immediately stood up and told all the reasons for all the defeats and retreats after the war with the Nanjin Kingdom.

"General, if the army of the Nanjin Kingdom is the same as before, even if they suddenly attack, there are so many soldiers in our army who can be suppressed by the experience of the previous battles. No matter how bad it is, at least it can be comparable. But it wasn't until after the war that we realized that things were far from that simple. ”

When the general said this, his voice suddenly paused, and his face became a little strange as if he remembered something terrible.

"This time, in the army of the Nanjin Kingdom, hundreds of giants were found out of nowhere, their size was more than two or three times that of ordinary men, and they were extremely powerful and invulnerable. At present, apart from the fact that the fire can hurt them a little, we really can't do anything about them. ”

"Giants?"

Xiao Chumo frowned, and repeated again suspiciously, he had never heard of such a strange thing before.

The general who told the story swallowed and nodded, but he hadn't finished his words yet, because the evil creatures in the Nanjin Kingdom were far more than that.

"In addition to the giants, there is also a poisonous snake mixed into the army, with two heads. They are not very fast, much slower than normal snakes, but they are extremely venomous. As long as you are accidentally bitten by them, although you will not be killed immediately, you will be weak and lose your combat effectiveness. ”

"We've never seen anything like this before, and we can't find a way to fight it. Because of them mixing in the battlefield to help the army of the Southern Jin Kingdom, we have already lost a lot of soldiers! ”

This is also the reason why they were pressed and beaten by the Nanjin Kingdom on the battlefield. If it weren't for the fact that they relied on the number of soldiers in the army and the experience of previous battles, I am afraid that the losses this time would definitely be more than that.

If Xiao Chumo was still suspecting that this general had exaggerated the facts, then it wasn't until he heard such a thing as "two-headed snake" that he finally believed it.

Although he had never actually seen a two-headed snake, this kind of thing was often said by the older generation, especially the old folks. It is ominous to say that it is a two-headed snake, as long as you see it, you must walk around it, otherwise you will be doomed.

Xiao Chumo didn't believe in these things, but this legend was widely spread among the people, and many people said that they had really seen it with their own eyes, so he was somewhat in a state of doubt.

With such murderous and strange evil creatures, it is no wonder that Nanjin Kingdom dared to suddenly repent, and even blatantly began to attack the border of Ning Kingdom. Presumably these things are their reliance!

It's just that I don't know where the generals of the Nanjin Kingdom got these evil things, and how did they control them to only attack the soldiers of the Ning Kingdom?

With such doubts in his heart, Xiao Chumo naturally wouldn't just let it go, but asked directly: "Since you only attack our soldiers, have you ever found that there are any special things about the soldiers of Nanjin Kingdom that can distinguish those things from friend and foe?" ”

"This ...... The subordinates did not pay attention. After those evil creatures came out, the soldiers were a little confused, and they had no time to observe these details. ”

Hearing Xiao Chumo's question, the general lowered his head, obviously ashamed that he hadn't been able to discover these details.

It's just that in fact, the former doesn't mean to blame him. Something as unbelievable as a giant and a two-headed snake has never been seen by the soldiers in the army, and it is normal for them to be in a hurry for a while.

"Have you ever asked where these evil creatures came from? If you can know where they come from, you will be able to find a way to deal with them. ”

"This is not very clear to the subordinates......"

The more Xiao Chumo asked, the more ashamed the general felt. In fact, he is not to blame, if such a question is not asked by the generals of the Nanjin Kingdom, I am afraid that whoever it is will not know if it is.

It's just that although he didn't know where he came from, he really inquired about some useful news at the beginning.

"Immediately after the end of the first war, my subordinates sent people to investigate these things. It turned out that when the Nanjin Kingdom was last year, a few wizards from the wandering side were invited out of nowhere, and the king of the Nanjin Kingdom took a fancy to their extraordinary abilities, so he promised a lot of official positions and gave them a lot of gold and silver to persuade them to follow the army to go on the expedition. ”

"My subordinates have indeed been on the battlefield more than once, and I saw a few strangely dressed people standing on the high platform behind the army of Nanjin Kingdom from a distance, and this time the giant and the two-headed snake must be one of their housekeeping skills."

Wandering Wizard?!

The general's words did not shock Xiao Chumo, but made Wei Lun and Vice General Xu on the side look surprised.

They had long heard that there were some people in this world who knew strange magic, but they thought it was an unrealistic legend at first, but they didn't expect that there were such strange people!
