Chapter 779

At the same time, the soldiers sent by the Marquis of Pingxi to support also arrived.

According to Xiao Zhan's requirements, a total of 100,000 people came, carrying a large number of bows and arrows, and the leader was none other than Pingxi Hou Yizi, Zhuang Qiang.

Li Yong came to Xiao Zhan, and Xiao Zhan found that there was a red and swollen slap mark on the right side of his face, and there was faint blood oozing out.

"Who hit it?"

Li Yong shook his head, "It's okay, big brother, you don't have to worry."

As he spoke, Zhuang Qiang walked over.

He looked at the dazzling labyrinth below, and said coldly:

"Xiao Zhan, my father-in-law asked you to serve as a military advisor to guard here, you don't think about how to kill the enemy, but instead take people to pile stones here."

"Do you know what punishment should be given for dereliction of duty among the government army of our Pingxi Marquis Mansion?"

Xiao Zhan said expressionlessly:

"Why don't you take someone down to test it yourself?"

Zhuang Qiang snorted coldly, looked at several deputy commanders under him, and said:

"Take 100,000 soldiers and go down and try it."

Several deputy commanders nodded, and then walked down the mountain with 100,000 soldiers, and soon entered the labyrinth.

But more than an hour has passed, and none of the 100,000 government soldiers has been able to get out of the maze, but has been spinning in the maze.

As a result, many of the soldiers became very irritable, as if they were crazy, trying to climb the wall.

But the walls were too high for them to climb up anyway.

In the end, it was Xiao Zhan who showed the way from a high place to let these 100,000 soldiers out of the labyrinth.

Zhuang Qiang stood beside Xiao Zhan and nodded expressionlessly, "It's kind of useful."

"Xiao Zhan, Xie Jing's life and death are unknown, but most of them are dead."

"Now that my father-in-law has appointed me as the commander of the army, although you are a military advisor, you must also listen to me."

Xiao Zhan's face was indifferent, "Okay."

A flash of excitement flashed in Zhuang Qiang's eyes.

The labyrinth in front of him can control at least 300,000 troops, and with a few more enemies, it can also greatly delay the speed.

He knew that his opportunity to make meritorious contributions had come.

As long as he makes meritorious contributions here, he may be appreciated by the palace, and it is not necessary to be transferred to the Yin Palace.

Xiao Zhan didn't talk to Zhuang Qiang again, but took Li Yong to Commander Zhuang's side.

Xiao Zhan and Commander Zhuang said how to arrange the positions on the peaks on both sides, and then frowned:

"One hundred thousand government soldiers can come in handy, but with Zhuang Qiang leading the troops, the role of these 100,000 government soldiers is half smaller."

"When the time comes, you will still be the main force."

Commander Zhuang nodded, signaling that he knew.

At this moment, a herald beside Zhuang Qiang ran over and said to Zhuang Commander:

"Our commander said, let you leave 40,000 of your 50,000 men here, and you take 10,000 men to the outside of the tiger's mouth to spy on the enemy's movements."

Xiao Zhan frowned, and just as he was about to say something, he saw a cold light flash.

Commander Zhuang directly drew his sword and slashed at the herald.

Li Yong glanced at Commander Zhuang, then at the corpse on the ground, and finally at Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan waved his hand, "Commander Zhuang, you don't have to care about Zhuang Qiang's orders."

"Zhuang Qiang is the righteous son of Pingxi Hou, and you are also the righteous daughter of Pingxi Hou, don't care about his identity."

Commander Zhuang nodded, turned around and was about to leave.

Xiao Zhan suddenly asked:

"I've been calling you Commander Zhuang, and I haven't asked your name yet."

Commander Zhuang glanced at Xiao Zhan indifferently and left without speaking.

A moment later, Zhuang Qiang led someone to Xiao Zhan, looked at the corpse on the ground, and a chill in his eyes flashed:

"Xiao Zhan, what do you mean?"

"I'm the commander of the government army, why don't you carry out my orders!"

"What about the woman? Let her get here!"

Xiao Zhan said calmly:

"Those 50,000 people are not from the Pingxi Marquis Mansion, so you have no right to order them."

Zhuang Qiang glared at Xiao Zhan coldly,

"Then why did she listen to you?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head, "You have to ask her about this."

"But I advise Childe, her strength is very strong, and her temper is not good, maybe she will directly pull out a knife and cut you."

The momentum on Zhuang Qiang's body began to surge.

"Xiao Zhan, do you rely on my father-in-law's attention and dare not take me Zhuang Qiang in your eyes?!"

Xiao Zhan's face was still calm.

"Childe thinks too much."

Zhuang Qiang was furious, "Xiao Zhan, to tell you the truth, I wanted to kill you a long time ago, do you really think I don't dare?!"

"Of course you dare," Xiao Zhan couldn't help but sneer, "You dare to let Steward Wu lead someone to rob the Netherworld Pill escorted by the soldiers of the Royal Mansion, what else do you dare not do."

Seeing Xiao Zhan exposing this matter, Zhuang Qiang's eyes lit up, and a murderous opportunity burst out.

"If you dare to tell my father-in-law about this, I will tell my father-in-law, those Nether Pills have finally fallen into your hands!"

Xiao Zhan didn't speak, and turned around and left with Li Yong.

He opened a cave on the top of the mountain, which was not big, just enough to accommodate him and Li Yong to meditate and practice, and the entrance of the cave was directly opposite the location of the tiger's mouth, and the line of sight could clearly see the plain outside the tiger's mouth.

And the order issued by this place can also be seen by the entire position.

And no matter how angry Zhuang Qiang is, he can only swallow his anger.

He didn't dare to kill Xiao Zhan, at least not on the surface, after all, Xiao Zhan was a person valued by his father-in-law, Pingxi Hou.

He didn't dare to make a move against the female commander, after all, according to what Xiao Zhan said, those 50,000 people were not from the Pingxi Marquis Mansion.

And the female commander seems to have no intention of recognizing her half-brother, and has been taking her 50,000 men to build positions on the peaks on both sides.

And the 100,000 soldiers brought by Zhuang Qiang have never found something to do.

I don't know if it was to show his ability, Zhuang Qiang ordered a deputy commander to leave the tiger's mouth with 10,000 soldiers to investigate the enemy.

As a result, not far from the tiger's mouth, the 10,000 soldiers were bumped into by the 50,000 enemy soldiers who came to the tiger's mouth to investigate the situation, and they were surrounded in an instant.

The Great War broke out immediately.

Obviously, the big battle broke out outside the tiger's mouth, and the enemy soldiers did not have time to reinforce, as long as the other 90,000 government soldiers under Zhuang Qiang were dispatched, they could completely annihilate 50,000 enemy soldiers.

But Zhuang Qiang was stunned and didn't dare to order reinforcements, so he could only keep standing on the top of the mountain and shouting for the 10,000 surrounded soldiers to retreat.

They are all surrounded, can they still retreat?

It was Xiao Zhan who sent a signal to the other 50,000 elites to send them reinforcements.

After more than an hour of fighting, half of the 50,000 enemy soldiers fled, leaving behind more than 20,000 corpses.

The 10,000 soldiers under Zhuang Qiang were all wiped out.

Of the 50,000 elites on the female commander's side, less than twenty people were lost, and the rest were all slightly injured.

This can see the gap in combat effectiveness.

Zhuang Qiang was extremely angry and asked Xiao Zhan and the female commander why they didn't send reinforcements earlier.

Xiao Zhan didn't pay attention to Zhuang Qiang.

One mountain does not tolerate two tigers.

In a position, there can only be one general who gives orders.

Pingxi Hou asked Xiao Zhan to be a military advisor, that is, to let Xiao Zhan arrange his troops, but Zhuang Qiang felt that he was amazing, and he wanted to be the one who gave orders, and Xiao Zhan didn't think about convincing him.

After this battle, the next ten days seemed unusually peaceful.

But Xiao Zhan felt that the gray sky was even more gloomy, and a murderous aura was accompanied by a fierce cold wind blowing into the mouth of the tiger.

This is often a temporary lull before the outbreak of the Great War.
