0581: Turn west on the road
Wang Botao appeared in the war, and the energetic commanders at all levels returned to their base camps, and then quickly cleaned up the scene and prepared to leave.
After all, this is war, what if the enemy bombards again? After all, the tactics of the enemy army are well understood, and the reason why the shelling is stopped is because the infantry enters the battlefield in case of accidental injury by friendly troops.
For the sake of Zhu Xiaoxiao's safety, there has been an undamaged team to escort him away.
After Wang Botao arranged the work, he said a word to Lei Xudong and other soldiers to report to the prince, and left first.
The troops continued to advance, and not long after walking, Zhu Xiaoxiao remembered the captive, asked casually, and Wang Botao, who was following on the side, knew that there were captives.
The fact that the army had an incident that he did not know about was simply a ridiculous incident for Wang Botao, and it made him more worried than his fear of hiding in an armored car.
It was rude to get angry in front of Zhu Xiaoxiao, Wang Botao held back his anger and went to the prisoner camp to inquire in person.
There was no need to torture to extract confessions, and the captured soldiers had no faith or anything at all, and answered unabashedly.
"So, it was the garrison of Garo City who attacked us?" After listening to Wang Botao's report, Zhu Xiaoxiao asked expressionlessly.
"Yes, Your Highness, in addition, the commander of the Northern Sanwei as a scout has actually betrayed the enemy a long time ago, and the old minister is unknown, please condemn your Highness." Wang Botao's posture was very low.
"The commander of the Northern Three Guards was not appointed by the commander-in-chief, and the position of reconnaissance was also appointed before, so the crime in this matter is not the commander-in-chief." Zhu Xiaoxiao said calmly.
"No matter what, it's the responsibility of the minister." Wang Botao resolutely admitted his responsibility and said: "There must be other spies in the army, and the old minister must try to find out them one by one." ”
"Of course it's best." Chief Manager Long saw that Zhu Xiaoxiao's mood was not high, he coughed lightly, and said, "Lord Commander-in-Chief, the prince is unwell, please worry about all the incidents in the army, Lord Commander-in-Chief." ”
Wang Botao was so crazy that he didn't look at Mr. Long at all, he snorted coldly, feeling that this old man took himself too seriously, and actually spoke to himself like this.
However, Manager Long is a slave of the Zhu family, Wang Botao's emotional intelligence is not high, and he also knows that he can't ruin the relationship between the monarch and the minister because of this person and Zhu Xiaoxiao.
"The road is treacherous, please take care of your health, with Your Highness, those of us who are courtiers have hope...... Okay, the old minister didn't disturb His Highness's rest, and retired first. Wang Botao said something of concern, and then retreated with sufficient courtesy.
Zhu Xiaoxiao hummed listlessly, she was in a confused period of life at this time, this kind of confusion similar to soul self-torture, others had limited help to her.
Wang Botao returned to the headquarters and quickly issued several orders, first, to send a large army to Jialuo City to occupy Jialuo City, and second, to order each department to select ten people to be sent as scouts.
Thirdly, send messengers again to contact the various armies of other cities with secret orders.
In the process of issuing orders, Wang Botao always felt that someone looked at him with strange eyes, originally, the new official was full of ambition and was ready to do a big job, but in less than a day, he was ambushed and sneak attacked, or an extremely low-level sneak attack, which made his heart full of unwillingness and indignation.
Overly sensitive, it can also be said that Wang Botao has a small belly and chicken intestines, he actually has disgust and even hatred for some of the generals present, but gloomily he did not show it, just secretly thinking about how to eradicate these black sheep. In fact, not all of the Northern Three Guards rebelled against the enemy, and the reason why those soldiers who did not betray the enemy did not send back the alarm was that they did not guard against the fact that the commanders of the Northern Three Guards actually adopted the means of blocking communications, and second, some of the top soldiers who felt that they were abnormal were all exterminated.
Therefore, when the means of communication of the intercom were restored, the telephones in the armored vehicles in charge of intelligence information rang non-stop, and they were all calls from soldiers who were out to reconnoiter and could not contact the headquarters and were in a hurry to report.
Among the many phone calls, an important piece of news was passed to Wang Botao's hands.
Looking at the call record in his hand, Wang Botao's face was cloudy, he first felt that the news was fake, after all, the commanders of the reconnaissance battalion had defected, and whether the information of these soldiers could be believed was still a question mark.
However, although Wang Botao was stubborn and a little cautious, his tactical theory was indeed solid, and in the face of such important information, he did not wait to ignore it, but sent some top soldiers out to find out the news.
After doing this, Wang Botao didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if this information was true, he didn't dare to bear the consequences, so he found Zhu Xiaoxiao with the information.
Just finished feeding the two pets, Zhu Xiaoxiao sat there after cleaning her hands and watched the two pets eat the food in front of them peacefully.
"King Langya predicted in advance that we would take this road back to our ancestral land?" After reading the content of the intelligence in a few glances, Zhu Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said: "This kind of thing is understandable, after all, he has been planning for more than 20 years, in order to secure his throne, my burden must be cut down and eradicated, and once we lose power, the first place we have to go is of course the ancestral land......"
Zhu Xiaoxiao played with the two pets for a while, and her mood was much more cheerful, the imperial mental techniques she had learned over the years still played a role after all.
"The ambition of the wolf son of Langya is the most vicious person in the world, and he deserves ......death if he has such a vicious thought."
"It's just that the two armies are fighting, and everything is done." Zhu Xiaoxiao said lightly: "Commander-in-chief, the net is waiting in front, what do you say we should do?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness, the old minister thinks that we should turn west and go to Feiteng City, first, this place is only three hundred miles away from Feiteng City, and there is no city in the middle, and second, Feiteng City gathers millions of troops, most of which support His Highness, such as Kang Wangwei, the border city army."
Zhu Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, approving these two reasons.
Wang Botao said with more confidence: "The third point, we turn to the Feiteng Army, we can avoid the joint army of the four cities, and we can merge the army, Your Highness, as the saying goes, unity is strength, unite all the armies together, more powerful, when the time comes, we can also lead the army back to the imperial capital and drive away the brutal and unkind King Langya." ”
"The commander-in-chief has a point, everything should be handled by the commander-in-chief cheaply." Zhu Xiaoxiao said calmly.
Zhu Xiaoxiao didn't think about taking the country back, the reason why she agreed to go to Feiteng City was actually to see her home and meet a few friends.
When dealing with government affairs in the imperial capital, Zhu Xiaoxiao knew that Shen Shishi, Bai Ruyu and Er Menglan of the border city and other members of the king's team had all arrived in Feiteng City, because they were summoners and were also enlisted by the border city army.
After experiencing many unsatisfactory and difficult situations, Zhu Xiaoxiao especially misses the presumptuous years in the border city, especially when she thinks of knocking Xiao Chen to the ground several times because she loves to fight and misunderstand Xiao Chen, stupidly, she will have a knowing smile.
"The old minister received the order, and the old minister retired." Having received the promise he wanted, Wang Botao was eager to show his resolute and decisive side.
Everyone is gone, Manager Long suddenly sighed, he has long seen Wang Botao's shortcomings in character, if it weren't for his ability to excel in strategy and tactics, and if he has a wide range of contacts, he almost wanted to persuade Zhu Xiaoxiao to stay away from this person.
Zhencheng, last night was attacked by Xiao Chen and others, the garrison in the city was scattered, and some generals who were afraid of being held accountable afterwards had already fled with their subordinates.
The disaster did not go alone, and then it came from outside the city that the earthquake army was attacked, the commander was killed, and the armies suffered heavy losses, but there was no military order, and the remnants of the army did not dare to return to the city without orders.
The earthquake city spent the whole night in panic, and seeing that the sky was about to dawn, several generals who could not escape because of their families stood at the head of the ruined city, thinking that this long night was finally coming to an end.
However, another piece of bad news came, the three medium-sized warships from the imperial branch were attacked on the way back to the city, and all of them were killed, and dozens of high-level summoners who accompanied the team were also killed.
Hearing this news, several generals in the city were frightened, and then they couldn't help but rejoice, they were worried that they would be held accountable for the failure to defend the city, but there were more incidents of two battles outside the city, and they could excuse themselves from responsibility on the grounds that the army and enemy were strong.
If you want to ask for the crime, the commander of the Earthquake Army, dozens of high-level summoners, or the battleship formation of the eastern barbarians will ask the crime together, compared to it, what is their trivial matter?
The coordinates of the Earthquake City Army's Substitute Death Return to the City card are not in the Earthquake City, so until dawn, this commander with a strange origin did not show up, and the army outside the city could not move.
There is another strange thing in Zhencheng that also makes these generals speculate for a long time, that is, Zhencheng was originally the last important place to defend the west of the imperial capital, and there were originally dozens of high-level and middle-level warships, but since the chaos in the imperial capital, these warships have disappeared.
A few generals were at the head of the city, looking at the mess after the battle outside the city, looking at the people in the city, chatting boringly.
They all saw a fleet of luxury vehicles coming from the direction of the imperial capital, there were more than 30 hovering luxury cars, dozens of escorts and bodyguards accompanying them, and hundreds of summoners on flying skateboards guarding both sides of the hovering car.
After last night's battle, these generals were all scared, seeing that there was a problem with this convoy, they should have fled from the imperial capital, but they all turned a blind eye to protect themselves, and watched the convoy pass through the city and go due west.
