Xue Chen's reaction can be described as extremely fast, when he learned the news of the arrival of the enemy army, he immediately ordered his troops and made a stubborn posture.
But just when the Southern Qi army began to set up camp five miles away from the city, intending to wait for the arrival of other friendly troops, nearly 300,000 Yueguo troops suddenly killed in the city.
The labor division went on an expedition, and after arriving outside the city, the 300,000 Southern Qi army that planned to bury the pot to cook was caught off guard and was killed by this burst.
They never dreamed that in the face of such a powerful and incomparable battle as their own, the other party would dare to take the initiative instead of defending the West City of the Boat.
In just half an hour, 140,000 Southern Qi troops were strangled outside the city, while the Yue Kingdom army only paid more than 10,000 casualties.
But that's about it.
If he could, Xue Chen hoped to expand the results of the battle indefinitely and completely wipe out the 300,000 Southern Qi army.
However, in the end, he could only be forced to return to the army, because the spies came to report, and another 300,000 Southern Qi troops appeared in the east.
At that time, there were only 50,000 defenders in Zhouxi City, and he could only retreat into the city as a precaution.
He already felt that something was wrong, the 600,000 Southern Qi army was too strange.
You must know that it is impossible for the Southern Qi Kingdom to have an extra 600,000 troops out of thin air now, unless the troops from the eastern and western theaters are transferred.
However, weren't those two roads originally in charge of the Northeast Theater and the Northwest Theater of the Moon Kingdom? How could they let these Southern Qi people leave?
Even if they were allowed to leave, how could there be no news at all?
He is very aware of the combat strength of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, and there are Ye Qian and Ye Cheng father and son in the northwest, and there has been no mistake in the past 20 years.
And the Northeast is his father Xue Xuan's territory!
And, there's the biggest surprise!
What kind of battle is an army of 300,000 troops? Even if the enemy army marches out day and night along the way, it will not cross 10,000 or 20,000 li without missing a single rumor.
No matter how well the enemy is well hidden, no matter how late his own news is, when the enemy army approaches Zhouxi City for hundreds of miles, it is time to get information.
However, no, when I got the news, the enemy army was only ten miles away from Zhouxi City!
He was sure that even before Lin Si left, he didn't know the news, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to leave Zhouxi City, let alone not remind himself.
How ridiculous is this? If you realize every battle like this, then even the god of war will not be able to win, which is equivalent to fighting the enemy blindfolded!
Standing at the head of the city, he looked at the two Southern Qi armies that had gradually stabilized, and a pair of sword eyebrows gradually wrinkled.
He slowly turned around and looked at the generals behind him.
At this time, everyone looked at him with one more thing in their eyes, and that was convincing.
The decisive pursuit out of the city just now, as well as the resolute retreat, seems simple, but it contains the ability to accurately grasp the timing.
They also finally understood why when Lin Si left, he would appoint Xue Chen as the commander of the army.
"Wuwei General Zong Yue, you need to give an explanation. Xue Chen's gaze fell directly on the tall figure in front of the crowd.
When he said this, many generals finally reacted, and they could also think of some things that Xue Chen could think of.
There is a huge problem with their intelligence.
It is almost certain that someone deliberately cut off the news of the enemy's advance, and it seems that only Zong Yue can do this.
Because of him, he is in charge of intelligence and investigation, and he is the scout leader appointed by Lin Si himself.
Before that, the crowd had never doubted him. Zong Yue is a person who is not smiling, and he does not have many friends. But in this northern army, he is still very convincing, he is calm and resolute, and after anything is handed over to him, it will make people feel at ease.
He is not favoritism, he is not slack, he dares to go to danger, he dares to fight for his life, and he can almost be called a military model in the Moon Country.
Even if they had guessed a possibility, they still couldn't believe it, so that no one even took the initiative to question him for a while.
In particular, many of them already knew that Zong Yue's father was Zong Yuan, the military hero of the Yue Kingdom twenty years ago.
Facing everyone's complicated gaze, Zong Yue, who was dressed in cloth armor, slowly took two steps forward.
"Yes, I did it. He said with a blank face.
This sentence made everyone almost crazy.
"Why?"
"Are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing?"
"You are collaborating with the enemy and treason! You shameless scum!"
"How did Your Highness treat you, and you actually repay him like this?"
"You will be a sinner in the entire Moon Country, you have tarnished your father's name!"
Even Fuyao was in disbelief.
He asked in a trembling voice, "Sect Brother, why? Why do you do this? I don't believe that this is a task that His Highness has given in advance!"
He couldn't believe that Zong Yue would betray, and in his opinion, even if everyone rebelled, Zong Yue was unlikely.
He still remembered what Zong Yue once said, he was so supportive of Lin Si, didn't he?
A wisp of pain appeared in Zong Yue's eyes, and then he turned into relief: "This is indeed my own opinion. I didn't collaborate with the enemy, but I was treasonous. I did it for my father's sake. ”
"For your father? Do you know what you're talking about? Your father is such a hero......
"Yes!hahaha!" Zong Yue suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, his condensed face, which had been almost unchanged for ten thousand years, finally became distorted: "Hero, I also thought so when I was a child. From the day I can remember, I knew that he was a hero, and I have always been proud of him, and I have always looked up to him......!
"Then why are you...... Do you want to do that?"
"Ha, that's a good question! I used to think that dying for the country was an extremely sacred thing! Until half a year ago, I met a thousand cavalry commanders who had served in Yincheng back then. I finally realized that it was all shit!hahaha......"
The crowd had gradually absorbed in his words, and they had vaguely heard some signs of something not so good.
"That day he confided a secret to me, it turned out that my heroic father was not actually dead at all! Hahahaha! He single-handedly killed the fire and ended up in the grassland country. The steppe herders didn't know him, but they took him in. ”
"What, your father is still alive?" exclaimed.
If Zong Yuan is still alive, then after returning to the Moon Kingdom, it should cause a great sensation. At least back then, Zong Yuan was a household name in the Yue Country.
Zong Yue smiled: "Ha, that's a good question! He recuperated from his injuries for a month, and in the end he was determined to return to the Moon Country and continue to serve that army." But before that day, that tribe was discovered by the Pioneer Army of the Moon Country. When he saw his own people, my father greeted him with joy.
That same night, he was secretly executed by his superior general. That tribe was wiped out, and that vanguard army was transferred far away to the hinterland of the steppe country to carry out a mortal mission......
Ha, that's the hero. When he died, he was the hero. If he comes back to life, and is still saved by the steppe people, then he is a sinner......"
Fuyao didn't know what to say anymore.
Many people gradually lowered their heads, although this matter was extremely incredible, but they seemed to have guessed the reason, after all, they were all middle- and upper-level generals, and they could already see many problems clearly.
After Zong Yuan was 'killed in battle', the Moon King personally canonized him as a battle hero, and his deeds inspired countless soldiers at that time. The ministers who originally opposed this battle were silent, and his deeds made the entire Moon Kingdom united.
The story has reached this point, although it is a sad song, but in the end...... That's a good result, right?
It's just a pity that Zong Yuan survived, and he was saved by the enemy people.
If this matter spreads, the color on this Moon Country battle hero will fade in an instant. The role he played before will change. Some may even think that he collaborated with the enemy and treason......
And in the end, if Zong Yuan, who has made great contributions, really comes back alive and appears in the public's field of vision, he will definitely rise to prominence and surpass some people, right?
When the superior commander at that time learned of all this, he chose the most cruel solution - to kill everyone, including the battle hero.
In this way, he is still a dead battle hero, and his deeds will still inspire many soldiers of the Moon Kingdom and the people in the rear.
"Providence, the commander of the vanguard army, after nine deaths, has survived! Providence wants me to know the truth, is my father not wanting me to continue to be so ignorant? Hahahaha, this is the country I am guarding, this is the army I serve! Ugly! What is the need for them?"
"That's just his side of the story, maybe it's a conspiracy......," Fuyao said softly.
Zong Yue smiled silently: "In the past six months, I have been secretly investigating this matter. Unfortunately, everything is true......"
Everyone didn't know what to say, they asked themselves, if it were their own Zong Yue, I'm afraid they would also collapse, right? How could they not see how deep Zong Yue's feelings for his father were, and how much they admired him!
That's almost the light that illuminates his journey in the past 20 years......
Sonor!
The sound of the long sword unsheathed broke the silence for a moment, and Xue Chen, whose face had never changed, said without the slightest emotion: "This is the reason why you betrayed us?
"Yes. Zong Yue's face gradually calmed down, he nodded, and did not draw his sword to resist
"Conceal the military situation and don't report it, and you should be beheaded according to the law, do you still have something to say?"
"No more. Zong Yue shook his head.
Fuyao slowly closed his eyes.,The first and second people in the former school city,The last 'confrontation',It turned out to be this kind of ending.。
It made him feel very uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say.
......
As the sky darkens, the situation has become even more precarious.
Although the problem has been identified and cleared, the consequences have already been planted.
At this time, Zhouxi City had been besieged on all sides, and the 300,000 troops of the Qingchuan Kingdom and the 300,000 troops of the Tianhe Kingdom had arrived here one after another.
Zhouxi City is already surrounded on all sides, and there is no way out.
In terms of troop strength, the monthly army is only 330,000, while the Southern Qi Qingchuan Tianhe coalition army is no less than one million.
In the past, although the enemy army was strong, they were not without a way to deal with it. After all, these enemy forces did not arrive at the same time and on the same route, but by the time they learned of this, it was too late.
In particular, there were also many Heavenly Realm masters in the enemy formation, which made everyone feel desperate.
