"Forty thousand elite soldiers were defeated like this?" With a hoarse voice, Xie Xuan said this sentence for a long time. The words were spoken, but no response was heard from his subordinates.

He turned his head and looked to the side, and found that the imperial generals on the left and right were looking at the outer city with disbelief on their faces.

"Major General, these people came out of there, and this is too powerful......" After a long time, the nearest guard to him stammered.

The 40,000 imperial soldiers of Longcheng Pavilion are the famous strong soldiers of Yanchuan County, and it is really unbelievable that they have collapsed for thousands of miles like this.

The strength of this thief army was really beyond their expectations, it was really appalling to be able to break through the Dragon City Pavilion army in one fell swoop, and its combat power was really terrifying.

Looking at the officers and soldiers scattered in the outer city, Xie Xuan was silent for a moment, and spoke again: "The battle under the city is over, you wait here to defend and don't act rashly, I'll go to see if the governor is awake." ”

Ordering the general beside him to temporarily preside over the defense of the city wall, he turned around and went down the city and walked towards the governor's palace in the inner city.

At this time, the Governor's Mansion of Longge City, the Xie Mansion was small, and the relatives and in-laws were all anxious in their hearts.

The situation in the outer city, these slaves naturally do not know about it, but they don't know much about the night of fighting.

Until the governor vomited blood and fell into a coma, the wise people felt that the situation was unfavorable, and once the inner city was breached, the rest of the people might still have a way to live, but they might not survive.

Xie Yan's face was pale, he had just woken up from the bedroom, and he walked to the study without speaking, these people were all over and down in their hearts, if the patriarch was like this, they might not be able to save their lives.

Obviously, they were worried too early, and in the study where Xie Xuan was, a housekeeper walked in and said, "My lord, Xie Xuan is asking to see you outside." ”

"Let him in!" Xie Xuan said.

"Father, the war situation is in crisis, our army has been defeated by the thief army! It's not a good way to do it now! As soon as Xie Xuan came in, he heard him crack and speak, and his tone was hurried and panicked.

Xie Yan was in a very bad mood at this time, there was no shortcut in front of him, there was no way to retreat, and he was jealous of this army of unknown origin, but he was definitely not the army guarding Du Ying.

According to the plan of Xie Xuan's father and son, they hoped to annihilate the enemy troops and capture the enemy's leader.

But the current situation was really unexpected and caught them off guard.

"What's the panic?" Xie Yan scolded.

Xie Xuan was stunned, and hurriedly stood with his head bowed and his hands down, glancing at Xie Xuan from time to time.

Xie Yan was originally a middle-aged man of fifty years old, and his eyebrows were full of majesty, and at this time, his eyebrows were deeply locked, and he was pondering in the room.

"This is not a place to talk, follow me to the study." Xie Yan said, and instructed Xie Xuan: "Look at you like this, it's hard work, sit down and let's talk about father and son!" ”

"Yes, father." Seeing that his father seemed to have regained his composure, Xie Xuan's panic calmed down and he did so.

Suddenly, Xie Yan coughed violently.

Xie Xuan saw that his father's face was ugly, and his heart was uneasy, so he hurriedly said, "Father, your body is ......."

"It's an old problem, it's just a moment of depression." Xie Yan waved his hand.

Thinking of his father's weak body just now, Xie Xuan whispered to the housekeeper beside him: "You let the kitchen boil some porridge and soup, and let people send it to the study later." ”

"Yes." The housekeeper knew that next, the father and son discussed confidential matters, and it was not that he should listen to them, so he hurriedly retreated.

The location of the study, only two courtyards away from Xie Yan's bedroom, saw Xie Yan drinking tea, still his eyebrows locked, and heard Xie Xuan coming, he said, "Sit!" ”

Xie Xuan was not polite, and found a chair to sit on, this room was simply furnished, the air was smooth, and there were more than a dozen chairs next to a long conference table.

At this time, there were only their uncle and nephew in the room.

On the table, there is a map of Yeoncheon-gun.

After Xie Yan's eyes swept over, he sighed: "I really didn't expect that I, Xie Yan, would fall into such a field as I am now......"

"Father's ......"

Seeing Xie Xuan's worried look on his face, Xie Yan smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "It's just emotion." Xuan'er, let's talk about the current battle situation, although I have seen and heard the results, but you are a person who has been on the battlefield, can you tell me more carefully, are these troops of unknown origin suffering heavy casualties? ”

"Yes, father, this group of troops appeared here unconsciously, or 20,000 people, and there was no news in advance!" Xie Xuan said again: "It's too strange to be there, it's really wondering." ”

"Even so, the 40,000 officers and soldiers of the two guards are logically huge, but in fact, the losses of this group of troops are not heavy, and I think the losses are not large at most, and the losses are not large."

"The soldiers of our army are exhausted, and they have just withdrawn from the city gate, and they have been defeated in one fell swoop, and the timing is just right, the key is that the secret passage of the inner city has been known,
