Chapter 357: Civil Strife
Of course, Yi Chen and the others also went out to check the situation, but halfway through, news came that the identity of the person being chased had been confirmed, it was Liu Qiming, He Houkuan and Yang Mingjie. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Yi Chen's eyes widened when they heard the names of the three people, because these three people were all one of the leaders of the Western Alliance, but Yi Chen did not hesitate to convey an order, that is, they must be saved.
When Yi Chen and the others arrived at the scene of the incident, a small leader immediately stepped forward and reported: "We have saved the people, and the pursuers have turned back and retreated when they saw our troops." ā
When Yi Chen and the others saw Liu Qiming and the others, they were unkempt, covered in blood, and the guards around them added up to less than twenty people.
Seeing that Liu Qiming was about to speak, Yi Chen waved his hand to stop it, and then took them back to the camp tent, and after freshening up, everyone signaled to the three people who had lost their souls and said what the situation was, they were all city lords, how could they be so embarrassed, and they were chased and killed everywhere!
When Liu Qiming finished talking about the whole thing hatefully, the needles in the big tent were almost audible, Zhang Rong, Li Yifeng and the other city lords all showed incredible expressions, only Yi Chen looked relatively calm.
Liu Qiming's statement is that the opposition led by Li Wentian actually colluded with the Evil Moon Empire, and when Yi Chen and the others left, they spit out the truth and wanted to pull Liu Qiming and the other four into the gang, but Liu Qiming and the four of them resolutely opposed it as soon as they heard it, thinking that these city lords are crazy, can they cooperate with the Evil Moon Empire, can they please it, if it is not my race, their hearts must be different, not to mention that the other party has attacked their alliance, I don't know how many soldiers died under their hands, and this revenge will not be avenged?
Seeing that the four of them were resolutely opposed, and their words were fierce, Li Wentian and others made a mistake on the spot, and countless soldiers rushed in outside the tent to prepare to slash them, but Liu Qiming's personal guards were also not far from the tent, and when they saw that something was wrong here, they rushed in desperately, and then began to take them to break through, and one of them was killed when they broke through, and now there are only three people left, and it is a fluke that they can survive, because the soldiers on the periphery obviously do not know what is happening, and they all took the initiative to get out of the way after seeing several city lords running wildly. After listening to Yi Chen, they were surprised and finally realized why Li Wentian and the others did not agree to go to war, why they dared to offend Sunset Village, it turned out that they had already hooked up with the Evil Moon Empire, although this point seemed to them to be incredible, but not to mention the truth or falsehood of Liu Qiming's words, just looking at the movements of the Western Alliance army, and the unresponsive call, it also confirmed this from the side!
Their first plan should be to find a way to drag the Sunset Alliance here, to gain time for the Evil Moon Empire to transfer troops and their own recuperation, but they didn't know that the Sunset Alliance had such a tough attitude and would withdraw its troops if they didn't agree, so there was such a big change in a hurry.
"Hatred aside, how dare they cooperate with the Evil Moon Empire, isn't this seeking skin with the tiger?" Li Yifeng, who had calmed down, spoke.
Yi Chen squinted his eyes and said, "Maybe they think that our threat is already greater than that of the Evil Moon Empire, and this is planning to drive the wolf and devour the tiger, but I'm afraid that they think too highly of themselves, and they will be swallowed by the tiger and wolf to the point that there is no bone and scum left!" ā
Liu Qiming gritted his teeth and said: "City Lord Yi is right, Li Wentian They just think that your coalition is too strong, we have lost the initiative, and it is a matter of time before they are annexed, I don't know when they hooked up with the Evil Moon Empire, saying that the Evil Moon Empire promised good conditions, their purpose is just to borrow our Western Alliance as a springboard, they will not interfere with our sovereignty, and will help us eliminate other threats, this group of interests really believe it, it's really crazy." ā
Yi Chen and the others also thought they were crazy at first, but after thinking about it, it seemed that this matter was not so unreasonable, because the Western Alliance was already very weak internally, and the strength of the Sunset Alliance They had already seen it, if the Sunset Alliance really had different intentions towards them, it would be really difficult for them to compete, so simply bet that the Evil Moon Empire would be trustworthy, they would be able to form a confrontation with the Sunset Alliance if they unite with the Evil Moon Empire now, even if the worst case scenario, they can buy some time, after they join forces with the Evil Moon Empire, The Sunset Alliance has almost no chance of victory, and due to the threat of the Sunset Alliance, the Evil Moon Empire will not turn against them for the time being if it has no advantage in strength, so this seemingly absurd behavior is still reasonable to a certain extent.
"What now?" Zhang Rong frowned.
"Fuck it, immediately send troops to hunt them down, these bastards are even worse than traitors, stabbing them in the back at a critical moment is too hateful, they must be killed!" A city lord airway.
"It's late, I've already received news just now that the army of the Western Alliance has been accepted into the city by the people of the Evil Moon Empire!" Yi Chen spread his hands.
"By the way, doesn't the Western Alliance also have tens of thousands of your troops, why are you so embarrassed?" Li Yifeng turned his head and asked Liu Qiming and the others.
Yang Mingjie sighed: "The other party is obviously prepared, except for our personal guards, everyone else is controlled, and the generals who lead the troops don't know whether they are threatened or bought, anyway, they will follow the opposite, otherwise we will not escape!" ā
Ordinary soldiers on the battlefield are actually very easy to control, there is a saying that military orders are like mountains, that is, as long as the leading generals are controlled, the army is controlled, so it is not surprising that such a situation occurs.
"You city lords deserve it really..."Li Yifeng pointed to the three people with ashamed faces, almost speechless with anger, you are still a hammer city lord after the soldiers have been lost.
Liu Qiming was ashamed, but still spoke: "Although the army that went out was lost, but our city is still under our control, just now we have sent an order back, tell the generals who have been confident about the current situation, and the order can only be effective if it is issued by a few of us in person, and let them strengthen their precautions to prevent being attacked by sneak attacks." Hearing this, Yi Chen and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, there was finally good news, if all the cities were lost, their army would have to rest, not to mention supplies, they might have to face the embarrassing situation of siege everywhere!
Seeing this, Yi Chen resolutely issued an order: "Immediately withdraw the army and return to the city to consolidate the defense, and wait for other things to stabilize the rear." ā
Everyone has no opinion after hearing this, now Li Wentian and their army have settled in several large cities of the enemy, and it is impossible for them to capture them under the increase of the enemy and our decrease, and the current priority is to stabilize Liu Qiming and their remaining cities, and then decide whether to fight or stay or increase the troops again.
Fortunately, there is a subsidiary city less than a hundred kilometers next to Boulder City, and it is still under Liu Qiming's control, this is their first evacuation location, Liu Qiming did not rest when they marched, and he had already transferred some troops from all over to set up defenses to prevent them from losing the city before they arrived.
