Chapter 126: Enemy Movements
"Report ...... Report to the general, the big ...... Event..... Oh no! ”
The generals in the house didn't react much when they heard it, and no one expected any good news at this kind of pass, Zhang Chenghong scolded with a dark face: "What kind of system is it that is panicked, what is the big deal, report it quickly!" ”
The scout took a deep breath and calmed down and said, "General Yu, the army of the Youquan Demon Domain has poured out of Fuyang City and has set up camp forty miles north of Helin City, presumably it will attack the city tomorrow!" ”
"Hiss~"
There was a gasp sound in the house, the Youquan Army connected the next level and two cities in a few days, its combat power was terrifying, and what was even more terrifying was that the scouts had reported earlier that there was only a piece of blue sky and scorched earth left in Xuanhuang Pass and Yiyang City, and there was no one alive in the Yunyan Country, such a cruel and murderous enemy, anyone who encountered it would be terrified! If it weren't for the arrival of Shangguan Honglie, who is known as a constant victory, many of the people were afraid that many would learn from that Zhang Huaijiang, and directly abandoned the city and fled for their lives.
"How many soldiers and horses did the enemy go out?"
It was Shangguan Honglie who asked the question, and he was the only one in the room who was quite calm.
The scout didn't know Shangguan Honglie, but seeing that all the generals were guarding around him, coupled with his unique golden dragon armor, he couldn't guess his identity without thinking, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Yu, the Youquan Army has dispatched a total of about 250,000 people this time, divided into two batches, about 100,000 vanguard troops, 70,000 infantry, 20,000 archers, more than 10,000 baggage soldiers, carrying heavy siege equipment, including city breakers, rushing vehicles, trebuchets, etc., and about 150,000 follow-up troops, including 100,000 infantry, 50,000 cavalry, 30,000 archers, 20,000 baggage soldiers and other troops. ”
The expressions on the faces of the generals became even more ugly, Shangguan Honglie just nodded lightly, the scout's answer was detailed enough to satisfy him, he pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Do you know who the enemy commander is, what is his combat style, and what are his characteristics?" ”
The scout's face turned embarrassed, and he said ashamedly: "Back to the prince, subordinates...... The subordinates don't know. ”
Shangguan Honglie's face was cold, he thought this scout was good just now, how could he not even spy on such simple and important information?
But after thinking about it, he found that he was wrong to blame him, the Youquan Demon Domain has not had the slightest communication with the Cloud Flame Empire for hundreds of years, and the legendary ancient prohibition imprisoned the ambition of the Demon Domain, and at the same time blocked all the information of the Demon Domain, and now although the ban has been broken, after all, it has only been a few days of fighting, and the information obtained is pitiful.
After calming down, Shangguan Honglie said to the scout: "Well, I've worked hard for you, let's go down and rest first." ”
The scout saw Shangguan Honglie's face change, and his face turned white with fright, who didn't know that Shangguan Honglie's strictness in governing the army was the most in the entire Cloud Flame Empire? was thinking about how to intercede to save his life, but suddenly heard Shangguan Honglie tell him to go down to rest, and he was stunned for a while.
All the generals also hung their courage, seeing Shangguan Honglie suddenly eased down, they were all relieved at the same time, in fact, even Shangguan Honglie himself didn't understand why he had such a reaction, after contacting Feng Yufei after amnesia for a while, his temper and temperament have changed a lot, but he didn't find it himself, plus Feng Yufei intended to forgive him a few days ago, which made him feel very good, and he couldn't help but be magnanimous to others.
Seeing that the scout was still stunned, Zhang Chenghong was afraid that Shangguan Honglie would change his mind, so he hurriedly reprimanded: "Didn't you hear the prince telling you to go down?" Hurry up and get out, don't get in the way of the prince's eyes here! ”
Only then did the scout react, and was about to salute and leave, but he heard Shangguan Honglie say: "Wait, don't leave yet!" ”
The scout's legs softened and squatted on the ground, and the generals also lamented in their hearts.
Shangguan Honglie turned to Zhang Chenghong and said, "Has he been in charge of spying on the enemy in recent days?" ”
Zhang Chenghong hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes!" Cheng Wuchang has been active in the enemy-occupied area for several days, and he has sent important information several times, which is a meritorious service......."
Zhang Chenghong originally wanted to explain to Shangguan Honglie that this scout had made a meritorious contribution, to see if he could make him think that he would let him live in his meritorious service, but Shangguan Honglie didn't understand it that way, and said after listening to it: "Well, this king can see it, he is too tired to stand still and insists on sending a report on the military situation, since he has merit, then he should be rewarded, General Zhang, I think, let's promote him to be a long first, and if he makes meritorious contributions in the future, he will be rewarded separately." ”
"Uh......"
Zhang Chenghong's thinking was a little unable to keep up, and Shangguan Honglie saw that he didn't speak, and frowned: "Is General Zhang any dissatisfied?" ”
"Ahh Don't dare, Cheng Yuanzhi, don't thank the prince for his kindness! ”
Shangguan Honglie waved his hand to interrupt: "These false gifts will be waived, that Cheng ...... Anyway, it's you, and I need the information you have to support my next deployment, so you come over and discuss with us. ”
"Huh?"
The scout who was called Cheng Yuanzhi was stunned again, during the war, if he was detained as a disadvantaged and delayed military situation, it was enough for him to die several times, but he didn't expect that not only did he not die, but he was also promoted, although it was only a small chief, and more importantly, the prince actually asked himself to discuss the military situation together, which is a great honor!
Zhang Chenghong hated that he couldn't go up and kicked him hard, and scolded: "You stupid talent, how did you not hear that you called you over, prince?" ”
Only then did Cheng Yuanzhi stand up, hang his head and walk to the sand table marked with the terrain, and stood still with a worried face.
Shangguan Honglie said: "Cheng ...... Well, for you, tell me in detail about the battle situation in the past few days and the movements of the Youquan Army, and don't miss a single detail. ”
Referring to the battle situation, Cheng Yuanzhi's face also had an indescribable solemnity: "Lord Yu, the Youquan Army suddenly appeared outside Xuanhuang Pass ten days ago, a total of 300,000 people, there are 30,000 defenders in Xuanhuang Pass, although the number is small, but the terrain is dangerous, it stands to reason that it should not be a problem to hold on for a few days, but I didn't expect that the Youquan Army captured Xuanhuang Pass in only half a day, the guard general Li Deliang, the deputy general is also Li Deliang's brother Li Desheng, both died in battle, the next day, the vanguard army of 100,000 people marched into Yiyang City, burned and looted all the way, and the soldiers came to the city two days later, Only one day to overcome, 50,000 defenders killed more than 30,000, the rest were captured, were killed, and then the Youquan army began to slaughter the city, men, women and children were not spared, the corpses piled up like a mountain, the blood flowed, only one day of rest, then attacked Fuyang City, Fuyang defender Zhang Huaijiang fled in fear, the deputy general Lu Jun led the crowd to resist, but the main general fled, morale was low, it didn't take long to rout, Fuyang City fell, but unexpectedly, this time the city was captured, not only did not kill the prisoners of war, but also the people were not guilty of autumn, after three days of rest, The vanguard troops are approaching our Helin City again......"
The more Shangguan Honglie listened, the more solemn his face became, if the enemy commander was a cruel and murderous person, he could only be regarded as a reckless man if he could fight, but judging from what the other party did after occupying Fuyang City, it was obviously not the case, it seemed that this battle would not be too easy!
