"Tell the marshal, the vanguard of the rebels has been attacked by our army's arrow array and has been repulsed by our army. ”

A spy rode his horse quickly and reported to Mu Nantian.

Mu Nantian nodded, signaling that he knew, and the spy bowed his hand when he saw this, and then rode away.

"Uncle Nantian, now that the enemy's vanguard has been repelled by us, and the sharpness has been lost, it is a great opportunity for us to take advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate them in one fell swoop, why are you still so worried, Uncle Nantian?" Yan Wolf couldn't help but ask.

"Alas......"

Mu Nantian sighed: "The reason why Ben Shuai is sad is because Ben Shuai thinks that although these rebels have betrayed the empire, Ben Shuai believes that most of them are deceived by traitors. Besides, if we continue to fight like this, we will only lose the defense strength of our Blazing Empire, and after this chaos, I don't know when my Blazing Empire will be able to recover. ”

"I see, since Uncle Nan Tian is worried about this problem, then my nephew has a plan. The flame wolf said with a smile.

"Oh, come on. ”

"Attacking people is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top. ”

The flame wolf spat out eight words from his mouth word by word.

When Mu Nantian heard this, he fell into thought while chewing on these eight words. After thinking for a while, Mu Nantian's frowning brows gradually eased.

I saw that his eyes lit up and said, "Good way, worthy of being the grandson of the old handsome." ”

"Someone. ”

"In. ”

"Give the order to go down and select the soldiers with the loudest voices in the whole army, and let them go to the castle tower and shout to me. ”

"Uh... , Dashuai, what are you shouting?" the guard looked puzzled.

Mu Nantian pondered for a while, and said: "Just shout that the left minister is plotting rebellion, Your Majesty has issued an order to punish his entire clan, and now those who disarm and surrender will not be blamed in the past." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

The guards went down to select personnel, Mu Nantian looked up at the outside of the city, and muttered, "Deske, this time I see what tricks you can come up with." ”

......

meanwhile

Outside the city, Deske was sitting with a sad-looking Lambert discussing what to do.

"Lord Zuo, how is this good. Lambert looked at Deske anxiously, hoping that Deske would give him an idea, even if it was a bad one.

To be honest, the reason why Lambert is so afraid of Mu Nantian is that he has not won Mu Nantian once since the day he entered the army, whether it is leading troops to fight or anything else, he is not Mu Nantian's opponent. Therefore, over time, Lambert developed a fear of Mu Nantian from the bottom of his heart.

"What are you panicking about! We have an army of 100,000 in our hands, and no matter how powerful he Mu Nantian is, he will not exceed 50,000 people in his hands, and he can win them with his eyes closed. Deske said confidently.

"Y-W?"

Lambert was still a little worried, but when he saw Deske's confident appearance, the worry in his heart was slightly lessened.

However, to be honest, whether the 100,000 people led by him and Lambert against Mu Nantian's 50,000 people can win, Desco himself has no idea whether he can win. However, he knew that he could not show any signs of panic now, after all, he could be said to be the backbone of Lambert now. If even he panicked, with a timid character like Lambert who was beaten and abused by Mu Nantian in various ways, I am afraid that he would directly raise his hand and surrender to Mu Nantian.

As for the fact that Mu Nantian only has 50,000 people, it is also the result of his judgment after some reasoning. In his opinion, the first thing Mu Nantian would do after gathering the army was to take back control of the city gates from him, plus to protect the safety of Yan Xiaotian and the others, so Mu Nantian would definitely divide his troops.

In this way, the three city gates removed 30,000 people, protected Yan Xiaotian and the others removed 10,000 people, and left 10,000 people to stay in the camp, so there were only 50,000 soldiers at most at this moment.

I have to say that Desco is worthy of being the leader of the civil ministers who have been fighting with the military generals faction for more than ten years, and he is very clear about the thoughts and practices of some military generals.

And at this moment, there was another commotion among the vanguard troops who had retreated from the city gate.

Hearing the commotion, Deske got up and looked at the place where the vanguard was, and shouted with a little anger: "Sentinel, let's see what happened to the vanguard again!"

A sentry was ordered to leave.

After a while, the sentry walked back with a strange look on his face, and before he could get closer, Lambert asked urgently, "What's going on up ahead?"

"Boss, ahead... Ahead—" The sentry stopped talking.

"Oh, what are you doing, tell me quickly. Lambert was anxious to slash the sentry with a sword.

However, Deske saw some clues from the sentry's hesitant appearance, and after waving his hand to let the sentry retreat, Deske spoke: "I think I'm afraid that Mu Nantian used the method of attacking the heart to cause the commotion of the soldiers. ”

Heart-to-heart?

Lambert looked puzzled.

Deske looked at the moon in mid-air speechlessly, and said in his heart that this Lambert is still the number one person playing politics or something, but this ability to lead troops to fight is too poor, I really don't know what Lance III thinks, let this kind of waste to lead the Northern Battalion.

In desperation, Deske had to tell Lambert the truth about Mu Nantian's plan to attack the heart that he had guessed.

After listening to Deske's narration, Lambert, who was already worried in his heart, seemed even more panicked, he knew his own situation very well, he was not as strong as Mu Nantian in controlling these soldiers under his hand, and now he was even more confused by Mu Nantian's offensive plan, if Desco was not still here, Lambert would have left the army and fled.

After all, no matter what you say, he is also a child of the royal family, and even if the time comes to investigate the guilt, Lance III will let him go for the sake of having the same blood flowing in his body.

Xu saw the retreat in Lambert's eyes, and Deske's eyes were cold, and he already had murderous intent towards Lambert in his heart.

"It's true, if you're not afraid of a god-like opponent, you're afraid of a pig-like teammate. If you hadn't been able to use it a little now, you would have been killed. Deske said angrily in his heart.

Seeing this, Desk knew that he couldn't drag on like this anymore, otherwise the situation would only become more and more favorable to Mu Nantian and them, and they must stabilize the morale of the army as soon as possible and then fight quickly.

"Lambert, you listen to me, now you can go to the front line for me, try your best to stabilize the morale of the army, as long as the soldiers are no longer in turmoil, we will have a way to reverse the current unfavorable situation. ”

"Huh?"

Lambert looked dazed, apparently not hearing what Deske was asking him to do.

"Ahh ”

"Oooh oh. ”

Lambert nodded hurriedly.

After Lambert went to the front, the big stone hanging in Deske's heart finally fell halfway, and in his opinion, no matter how stupid Lambert was, he couldn't even do such a thing as stabilizing the morale of the army. But he may have forgotten that sometimes a person can be stupid beyond his imagination once he is stupid.

......

Front-line troops trimming area.

Lambert came here with a heavy heart, and before he could speak, the soldiers under his command stood up one after another and asked: "Dashuai, is it true that the brothers on the city tower said that Lord Zuo Xiang has rebelled, and Dashuai, you are also an accomplice?

"Yes, Marshal, didn't we go to the city to quell the rebellion on the orders of His Majesty?

The soldiers' words made Lambert's already flustered heart seem more and more uneasy, only to see him wave his hand impatiently and said: "Go and go, what are you talking nonsense, how can this marshal betray the empire and betray His Majesty as a child of the royal family, it is all nonsense from them, how can it be taken seriously without basis." ”

Throwing this sentence, Lambert ran back without looking back as if his ass was on fire. But he didn't expect that his panicked movements had deepened the suspicion in the hearts of the soldiers around him, and instead of stabilizing, the morale of the soldiers became more and more shaken.

Finally got rid of the soldiers' questioning, and before Lambert could breathe a sigh of relief, several generals who had already been co-opted by him also came up, and the questions in their mouths were no different from what the soldiers had said before.

Lambert knew in his heart that his words might be able to fool those big-headed soldiers, but it was of little use to the old oilmen of officialdom in front of him.

At that moment, Lambert sighed and said in a low voice: "This big man said this to you when you were a confidant, that's right, we are plotting rebellion." ”
