Chapter 1442: A Quest for Reality

When another three days passed, Shu Zhan finally found some flaws, or can only be called... lā

It was not surprising that the army of the Moon Kingdom on the other side had not made any special moves recently, but Shu Zhan was focusing on the entire mid-lane battlefield, and he could see the big problem from the many subtle changes.

The several major moon ** regiments on the middle battlefield, whether it is Lin Si, or Fan Xing, Jiang Qigu, Yu Da, Mengzhen and others, have been too restrained recently.

The Divine Flame Purple Star Coalition in the entire mid-lane battlefield has not suffered any attacks for three consecutive days, not even the slightest attack.

This is obviously abnormal, although the strength of the Shenyan Purple Star Alliance in the middle battlefield is still above the Moon Kingdom, and the two sides can be regarded as fighting back and forth, but in general, it is still the Moon Kingdom that is attacking the Purple Star Kingdom.

With Lin Si's fighting style, he shouldn't have stopped. Even if it stops, it shouldn't stop on all fronts, unless something goes wrong with the Moon Kingdom army on the other side.

It's strange here, the army of the Moon Kingdom in the opposite city and stronghold is still in order, and it is still waiting for it from a distance, without the slightest hypocrisy and laxity.

Could it be that Lin Si intends to defend?

Shu Zhan ruled out this speculation at the first time, there is no other reason, what is the point of doing that?

Did he still expect to attract himself to attack the city? Did he forget that the Moon Kingdom was a foreign conquest, and he couldn't delay it for too long? If he continued to consume it like this, he could afford it, and he couldn't afford it.

And in addition, if there is such a big thing in the rear of the Moon Kingdom, Lin Si should either withdraw his troops and go back to settle the infighting, or he should attack himself more violently, and he can't wait to use his military exploits to deter the 'political enemies' in the country, right?

In any case, he should not stand still.

Shu Zhan was keenly aware of the problem, and a strange guess popped up in his heart, but he couldn't confirm it immediately.

He needs enough intelligence, and if that guess is true, then the Divine Flame army will be able to fight a beautiful counterattack!

It's just that when it comes to enemy intelligence, he is really not as good as Lin Si, who has the help of Shifang Lou. Now that the opposite side is very tightly sealed, his scouts can't enter the enemy garrison at all, and even if they are lucky enough to get in, they can't get back the news, but he is not in a hurry.

Although it is impossible to enter the garrison of the army of the Moon Kingdom, it is impossible to block all the thousands of miles of the rear of the army, and some clues are impossible to conceal.

After sprinkling a large number of scouts into the rear of the Moon Kingdom's army, Shu Zhan finally got some hard-won information.

Three days ago, at night, there seemed to be a large number of people passing outside Boliang City, and the direction was from north to south. At that time, the residents of Purple Star in the city were strictly ordered to close their doors and windows and not to go out, but the sound of hooves that could not be concealed could not be hidden from the ears of many people in the city.

Two nights ago, there was a similar movement outside Kawada Castle.

On top of that, due to the muddy roads caused by the rain, some scouts found a large number of hoof prints and shoe prints on a small road outside Tongfu that had been deliberately removed, but still could not be completely concealed.

According to the judgment of the scouts in the Shenyan army, this is at least a trace left by an army of more than 200,000 people.

Boliang City is already more than 2,000 miles away from Yingdan City in front of Shu Zhan, and its location is south of Yingdan City. Hetian City is located in the southeast of Yingdan City, more than 3,000 miles away from Yingdan City, and as for Tongfu City, it is less than 2,000 miles away from the former Purple Star Southern Qi border!

Everything is already clear, no wonder the other side has made a stubborn gesture, it turns out that they are already empty.

Lin Si really retreated, but he didn't want to retreat directly. On the one hand, they are worried that the retreating troops will be pursued, and on the other hand, they are worried that after the retreat, the victories they have won before will be recaptured by Shu Zhan.

Therefore, he retreated very secretly and carefully, and at the same time planted the moon ** flag at the head of the city, standing full of soldiers of the Moon Country, making the appearance of the military in the city, so that he did not dare to act rashly.

And when he calms down the 'civil strife' in the Moon Kingdom, he will send the army back again.

He is really calculating, but unfortunately, he saw through it.

If it weren't as he expected, in the dozens of cities along the opposite Yingdan City and other lines, the army of the Moon Kingdom was completely empty, and some of them were probably only the two rows of soldiers standing at the head of the city.

If you can't grasp such an opportunity, then when Lin Si returns, or when the army of the Moon Kingdom returns, then you will miss the opportunity in vain.

However, Shu Zhan is not so optimistic, maybe this is another trick?

Perhaps, Lin Si deliberately made a series of pretenses of retreating, but in fact, he secretly hid male soldiers in the city to trick himself into attacking?

What made Shu Zhan really make up his mind was an intelligence two days later.

The traces of the army of the Moon Kingdom were finally found by the Shenyan scouts.

In the Longgao Mountain, fifty miles outside the Black Pine City in the north of Southern Qi, the Shenyan scouts saw with their own eyes at least 600,000 Yue Guo troops. They traveled lightly and hid in the mountains, and they also walked on mountain roads, and they didn't even put up a military flag, but where did the Shenyan scouts hiding in the dark not recognize the standard armor of the soldiers of the Moon Kingdom, and where could they not recognize Fan Xing, Jiang Qi and others?

When he got the news, Shu Zhan was relieved.

That's right, even if Lin Si cheats, it's useless.

The army of the Moon Kingdom on the opposite side now has a total of more than 900,000 people, and 600,000 have been withdrawn at once, so what will the remaining 300,000 people do to fight with themselves? There are still more than 1.4 million troops on their side, and this is not a level at all.

Even if it is an ambush, the other party does not have that much appetite and ability.

And even if those 600,000 people want to rush back now, it will be too late, Nanqi Black Pine City is still more than 3,000 miles away from the former Purple Star Border, not to mention Yingdan City, which is tens of thousands of miles.

However, Shu Zhan, who had lost to Lin Si once, did not dare to relax his vigilance.

At the same time, as the commander of the Divine Yan Army of the entire Purple Star Battlefield, he also investigated the movements of Xue Chen, Shen Qing, Ji Bingyun and others in the east and west several times.

The final result is that the Moon Kingdom army on the east and west roads also has no time to withdraw at the moment, and even if they want to support the middle lane now, they will not be able to catch up.

Therefore, what is presented in front of him now is really just an empty enemy, and there are only 300,000 enemies in the entire mid-lane battlefield opposite.

And without Fan Xing and Jiang Qi and other generals of the Moon Kingdom, as for Lin Si himself, whether he returns to the Moon Country or not, there is no need to worry!

At this time, Shu Zhan even hoped that Lin Si was still there, so that he might have the opportunity to kill this No. 1 general of Tianshuce.

On this night, Shu Zhan launched an attack on Yingdan City.

They were met with resistance from the Moon Nation, but the strength of the resistance was incredibly small. In the face of the attack of the 700,000 Shenyan army, Yingdan City only lasted a quarter of an hour before it was broken.

Judging from this situation, the defenders of the Moon Kingdom in this Yingdan City are probably less than 100,000 people.

Although Shu Zhan brought 700,000 people, after the city was broken, he did not send everyone in one fell swoop, but only sent 100,000 vanguard troops into the city to explore the reality.

That's right, at this point, he still hasn't let down his caution and caution. He was still on guard against deception in the city, such as the sudden ambush of hundreds of thousands of archers above the city after all the troops entered the city, or the appearance of a super array, such as the Tianhuo Great Array used by Luo Hou and Li Yuanhong back then.

Although the information he obtained all proved that the main army of the Moon Kingdom had withdrawn, and there was almost no other possibility, the enemy on the opposite side was Lin Si, who had always been scheming.

Based on this alone, no matter how suspicious Shu Zhan is, he will not be laughed at, but as a matter of course.

Even if the 100,000 defeated soldiers of the Moon Kingdom who escaped from Yingdan City have now fled farther and farther, wasting time to investigate and miss the opportunity to pursue, he will not hesitate to do so.

Half an hour later, Yingdan City had been almost completely investigated by the Shenyan Vanguard Army, inside and out, even underground. The end result was that there was no ambush in the city.

Yes, the army of the Moon Kingdom has really secretly retreated, and the previous mid-lane battlefield is almost a flat for the Shenyan Purple Star Alliance.

Lin Si, he finally miscalculated once! His bluff was seen through by himself, and his secret retreat finally showed some clues......

In fact, when the 600,000 troops retreated, it was impossible to hide from everyone, right?

Shu Zhan didn't hesitate any longer, he immediately sent an order, ordering the rest of the major armies in the middle lane battlefield to immediately cover the south and kill the past, and be sure to recover all the Purple Star middle lanes in the shortest possible time!

Of course, the entire mid-lane battlefield was not only the area where Lin Si and Shu Zhan were confronted, but there were also the rest of the Shenyan Purple Star coalition forces that were confronting Fan Xing, Jiang Qigu, Yu Da, Meng Zhen and others, after all, the entire battle line was too long.

Now that Lin Si has withdrawn, the rest of the middle road is naturally empty. After all, Fan Xing, Jiang Qi and the others have all been discovered by the Shenyan Scouts, haven't they?

So, what will happen next will be a stormy reconquest.

Taking advantage of the emptiness of the Moon Kingdom army in the middle lane, the Shenyan Purple Star Alliance quickly moved south and recovered the entire middle lane. Of course, this is an operation that needs to seize the opportunity, once it is delayed, what should Lin Si and his Moon Kingdom army do when they hear the news and return to the army?

Once he recovers the entire middle lane, the efforts made by Lin Si in the previous year will be in vain. The city he had fought before had been lost again, and if he wanted to invade Purple Star, he could only start fighting again from the border of Yanshan City.

In addition, after the recovery of the middle route, the two routes of Xue Chen and Ji Bingyun's two routes of the Moon Kingdom army will also be greatly affected, because the connection between the three routes of the Moon Kingdom army will be cut off at that time.

Thinking about that picture, Shu Zhan couldn't help but feel a sense of high-spiritedness that he hadn't seen for a long time, because this victory was too difficult. If it weren't for the people of the Moon Kingdom who self-destructed the rear, how could it be so easy for them to win?

After recovering the entire territory of Purple Star, he can still wave his army to continue southward and defeat Nanqi Qianlan and other places, what else does Wei Zhong's old puppet have to say at that time?

Two hours later, Tianding City, south of Yingdan City, was captured by the Shenyan army.

It is said that it is captured, but in fact, it is not accurate at all, because there is no resistance in the city at all, and the defeated troops of the Moon Kingdom have already fled. The Shenyan army entered the city with a single charge, and then regained the city.

Shu Zhan will not be satisfied with such a result, this is a war to seize the opportunity, he wants more. He divided the 700,000 army around him into three routes again, and swept towards the surrounding cities.

The cities that Lin Si and his mid-lane army had spent countless efforts to defeat before were recovered by Shu Zhan in just one night.
