Chapter 620: The Empress
readx;
Hearing Shangguan Xiu's words, everyone present frowned and said, "My lord, we don't know how many Besa troops are still hidden in Nasikeya, but based on their actions last night, there must be a lot of troops, and it is definitely not something that a single corps can deal with!"
"Yes, Brother Xiu! Even if Brother Xiu wants to stay in the palace, at least he needs to leave a legion, how can he only bring the gendarmerie?" "The gendarmerie is only a corps, no matter how strong the combat strength is, it is only 10,000 people, and it is simply an impossible task to rely on the gendarmerie to completely annihilate the Besa army in Nashikya.

Listening to the public's opposition to your words and my words, Shangguan Xiu smiled disappreciatively and said, "Although I only leave the gendarmerie, I still have reinforcements available, so you don't need to worry about me." ”
It would be good to leave one legion and listen to his command, but Shangguan Xiu really couldn't rest assured that three legions would attack Navia City. At present, although the Besa Army stationed in Navia is two legions, Tulana, which is not far from Navia, also has two legions of the Besa Army, which can rush to Navia at any time to reinforce, and at that time their three legions will fight the four legions of the Besa Army, and it is still a difficult siege battle, how can it be defeated?
Everyone was stunned, their eyes rolled, and An Yifu was the first to react and asked, "My lord, are you going to use the reserve army?"
The reserve army is all new recruits, and they have no combat experience, so let them mix in the legion, and it's okay to fill the establishment, at least on the battlefield, and there are veterans with them, but you can take them to fight alone, which is equivalent to driving ducks to the shelves and letting them die. The ferryman was scared, Yan, and Brother Guan looked at Sister Zhang
Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said, "I don't plan to use the brothers of the reserve army. ”
"Then the ...... of your lord"
"Okay, I have my own way, just follow my orders!" Shangguan Xiuli waved his hand, not giving everyone a chance to argue anymore.
At the insistence of Shangguan Xiu, the main force of the Zhenjun Army continued to march north towards Navia City, while Shangguan Xiu led the gendarmerie to temporarily stay in Naxikaya and exterminate the Besa Army here.
He first led the gendarmerie to retreat to the city of Domos.
The Bessar army, which had attacked Domos, had withdrawn, and there was little destruction in the city, except for the burning of the granaries, the looting of the treasury, and the assassination of the lord Dick Donnasius.
The Wind Army, which remained in Dumos, had a battalion of troops, and in the battle against the surprise attack of the Besa Army, more than 800 people were killed, and only about 100 survived.
When Shangguan Xiu arrived in Dumuos City, the Dark Banner personnel had already done a detailed investigation here.
Inside the Castle Lord's Mansion. Shangguan Xiu first had Dick Donnaxiu buried him, comforted his family, and arranged for personnel to transport the bodies of the fallen soldiers back to China and bury them in Feng County.
After dealing with this, he called the Dark Flag personnel to his front and asked about the specific situation of the attacking enemy army.
There are more than 3,000 Besa troops who attacked Dumuos City this time, including many spiritual cultivators, when the Zhenjun army captured Dumuos, the city wall was seriously damaged, and now it has not had time to repair it urgently, the Besa army attacked very quickly, and a battalion of wind troops was completely unable to resist, and most of them were killed in battle.
After telling Shangguan Xiu about the specific battle situation, the Dark Flag officer took out a badge from his arms, handed it to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "My lord, according to the surviving brothers, most of the enemies who sneak attacked wore this kind of badge!"
Shangguan Xiu took the badge and looked at it carefully, the badge was made of white iron, and it was branded with the pattern of an eagle, and under the eagle, there was a shield and a sword. After looking at it, Shangguan Xiu asked, "Do you know this badge?"
"The villain visited the people of Besa, and according to the people, it was the coat of arms of the Bussman family. ”
"The Bussman family?"
"The Bussman family is an old family in the Nashikiya region, and it is said that the Bussman family was already here when Besa was a city-state. ”
"Where are the Bussman family?"
"The main members of the family live in Oulu. ”
Oulu City is also the border town of Besa, but it is not close to Dumuos, five or six hundred miles away, which is why the Zhenjun army did not attack Oulu City after capturing Dumuos.
Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "So, the Besa army that attacked Dumuos was all from Oulu City?"
"Nine times out of ten!"
"Then where did the Besa Army, which attacked our army's supply team and our country's native towns, come from?"
"It should all be the native family army of the Nasikeya region. ”
"Aren't the old aristocrats living in one region competing with each other?
Even under the pressure of external enemies, several powerful old nobles had to join forces, but their actions were too unified and their cooperation was too tacit, not at all like a temporary combination of several family armies, but more like a well-trained regular army with a high concentration of military power.
The dark flag officer was silent for a moment, and said: "According to the villain's investigation, there is indeed competition between several old families in the Naxikeya region, open and secret battles, and there are many contradictions...... It seems that several families have abandoned their previous suspicions overnight!"
Shangguan Xiu said in a firm tone: "There must be a person whose status is far higher than that of these families, who came to Nashikeya and integrated several family armies together, and this person is very likely to be from the royal court of Besa!"
The Dark Flag personnel are all doing intelligence, and they don't dare to speculate and imagine out of thin air until they have specific information. The Dark Flag officer hung his head and did not answer.
Shangguan Xiu handed him a letter that had already been written, and said, "You go back to China and help me deliver a letter." After speaking, he looked at Guangfang again and said, "Fang, gather your brothers and march to Oulu City!"
The city of Oulu, located in the northeast of the Windy Country, southeast of Besa, is one of the important border towns of Besa, the scale of the city is not inferior to that of Dumos, because of the rich copper and iron mines near the city of Oulu, the industry and commerce here are relatively developed, and the agriculture is weak.
Now Shangguan Xiu knows very little about Oulu City, which has been completely under martial law, and the outside of the city is full of defense lines arranged by the Besa army, and it is difficult for the spies of the Hidden Banner to infiltrate the city, and they cannot grasp the specific situation of the defenders.
On this day, the gendarmerie led by Shangguan Xiu was close to Oulu City, and he left the gendarmerie to rest in place, and he took Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei and several dark flag and shadow flag personnel to take a step forward and go to the front to investigate.
After walking for more than half an hour, a small village appeared in front of me. Shangguan Xiu raised his eyes and looked at it, and asked the dark flag personnel beside him, "What is the name of the village in front?"
The Dark Flag Officer pulls out the hand-drawn map. Shangguan Xiu glanced at it from the side, this map was like a ghost drawing, and it was estimated that no one could understand it except himself.
The Dark Flag Officer took the map and identified it for a while, then looked up and said, "My lord, this is West Olu Village, which is only ten miles away from Oulu City. ”
"Well, let's go into the village and have a look!" Shangguan Xiu raised his head.
The man hurriedly said, "My lord, the village of Theoğlu should be within the defense line of Oulu City, and there may be a Besa army stationed in the village. ”
"That's right, aren't we worried about the lack of information from the Besa Army now!" Shangguan Xiu smiled indifferently and urged the horse forward.
The village of Sioğlu is very small, with only a dozen households, and you can see the west end of the village from the east end of the village.
Walking to the edge of the village, everyone looked into the village, and there was not even a single shadow in the village, it was quiet, and the silence was terrible. Xiao Jue leaned over to Shangguan Xiu and whispered, "Brother Xiu, something is not quite right in this village. ”
It's really wrong, you don't have to go in, you can feel the aura of murder in the village outside the village. Shangguan Xiu turned his head sideways and said, "You guys wait here, I'll go in first and take a look." ”
"Brother Xiu—"
Shangguan Xiu raised his hand and interrupted Xiao Jue's words, and then, he slammed the stirrups with both feet, urging the horse to march slowly into the village. As he entered the village, dogs barked from time to time on the side of the road. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a white mist emanated from his body.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of a snapping and rushing run in front of me, and then several black vicious dogs galloped out of a small alley and went straight to Shangguanxiu. Several vicious dogs were all with their mouths open, their tongues sticking out, and saliva dripping down between their teeth.
Suddenly, seeing this group of vicious dogs running, Shangguan Xiu dismounted his crotch and roared, and his two front hooves were also raised high.
Just when Shangguan Xiu was holding the reins of the war horse and wanted to stabilize the war horse, on the roofs on both sides of the road, more than a dozen Besa people suddenly stood up, all holding fire guns in their hands, and shot at Shangguan Xiu on the horse together.
Bang bang bang! The war horse under Shangguan Xiu fell to the ground in response, and there were several more blood holes on the horse's head and body, and then looked at Shangguan Xiu, standing on the ground, his body was already covered with spirit armor, and several projectiles were embedded in the spirit armor.
With one miss, two Bessars covered their spirit armor, drew out their spirit swords, jumped off the roof, and went straight to Shangguanxiu.
Sha, Sha! The two of them each struck a sword, separating Shangguan Xiu's face and chest. The latter raised his hand unhurriedly and grabbed the two spirit sword bodies that had stabbed over with his bare hands.
Seeing this, the two Besa cultivators were also shocked. You must know that the sharpness of the spirit armor is far better than the strength of the spirit armor, and now the other party is holding his spirit soldier with the hand covering the spirit armor, which shows that this person's cultivation is far above his own.
Before the two of them could come back to their senses, Shangguan Xiu quickly pointed out two kicks like lightning. With two crisp sounds, the bodies of the two Besa Cultivators flew out upside down in unison, hitting the earthen wall on the side of the road, and with a bang, knocking down a large side of the earthen wall.
Without waiting for Shangguan Xiu to pursue, a vicious dog ran to his side and bit him on the ankle.
Shangguan Xiu's spirit armor can't even break the fire gun, let alone the canine teeth, biting on the ankle, it is completely painless. He lifted his leg and stomped on the ground, and a whirlwind immediately blew around him, and several vicious dogs that rushed up were swept away by the whirlwind.
By this time, however, the Bessars on the roof had finished their ammunition and began a second volley of firearms.
The projectile struck the spirit armor and clanged.
Shangguan Xiu secretly said that he was looking for death! He grabbed the sword bodies of the two spirit swords with both hands, and poked them suddenly, and listened to the click, the sword body broke into several pieces, and he casually raised his hand outward, and the broken sword body was swept out by the strong wind, and accurately hit the bodies of everyone on the roof.
