The herald's report, Saktu's body trembled, he staggered a little, his face was full of disbelief, staring at the herald deadly, asking repeatedly.

"You... You repeat! What the hell is going on! ”

Anyone could feel Saktu's voice tremble, and the herald was equally afraid, but he didn't dare to hide it, swallowed his saliva, and then repeated it again.

"Back... Back to the alliance leader, five thousand elite soldiers, the whole army was indeed wiped out, and this news was sent by the other party. ”

"Through the tunnel, it was very smooth to sneak into the territory of Ganzhou, until it was close to the edge of the capital moat, no one found it, but until it stepped into the capital moat, a bunch of Ganzhou soldiers appeared out of nowhere, and five thousand elite soldiers could only desperately break through, but the other side was numerous, and the fierce battle lasted for more than an hour or so, and the whole army was basically wiped out, and the rest became prisoners."

"Bastard! A bunch of rubbish! How is this possible! How so! ”

Saktu was excited in his heart, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and he scolded the herald in front of him.

A full 5,000 people doesn't seem like much compared to 70,000 troops, but these people are all elites.

Sending them to infiltrate was to cooperate with the follow-up Saktu invasion of Ganzhou from the front, but I didn't expect that it would only take an hour or two before and after, and the whole army would be wiped out.

He's been waiting for an hour or two, and now he looks so stupid.

Even if it was confirmed that the five thousand elite soldiers sent were all wiped out, it was still difficult for Saktu to accept, he still didn't believe that how could such a wonderful backhand of his be detected by Su Qi'an.

Even if it is detected, with Su Qi'an's temperament, it will definitely expand the results of the battle, and it is absolutely impossible to stop just annihilating these five thousand people.

The only thing that can be explained is that there is only one possibility, they must have internal responses, and if there is no internal response, how can they be so caught off guard.

Saktu's face was full of anger, and he immediately ordered that the matter be thoroughly investigated at all costs, and the inner ghost must be found.

After the order was given, Saktu did not linger at the city gates, but turned and walked away, leaving behind the people who looked at each other.

At the same time, in the city, the figures flickered, and everywhere in the city, there were fires flickering from time to time, with the help of the firelight, it was possible to see that some of the streets in the city were obviously damaged, and there were piles of corpses lying on the ground, under the ruins of broken houses.

On the streets, there are a large number of soldiers walking back and forth, some maintaining order, some cleaning the battlefield.

And at the end of a street that had been disturbed, Su Qi'an and others appeared, his eyes swept ahead, and after a while, the figures of Tong Zhan and Zhao Shen in the distance came one after another.

With a smile on their faces, the two saluted Su Qi'an, and said with a smile, "Tonight's battle is really exciting, destroying 4,000 enemies, capturing more than 300 people, and our casualties are only four or five hundred. ”

Zhao Shen's praise, Su Qi'an shook his head, and said, "This battle is really not a clever plan of the Overseer's army, it just happened to happen, in the timely inspection of Tong Zhan, this is a big gain, if you really want to thank you, thank Neiying and Tong Zhan who secretly and silently protect the city." ”

Zhao Shen was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, nodded at Su Qi'an and said, "Well, what Lord Overseer said is that his subordinates were a little puzzled by Lord Overseer's transfer of troops before, but now it seems that he really responded to what Lord said." ”

"There are not many defensive troops, but fine, as long as a reasonable position is arranged, and the external response is coordinated, even if the troops in the military town are transferred, the safety of the military town and the capital can be guaranteed, and the end of today will open his eyes."

Tonight's raid on Saktu, to be honest, Su Qi'an really didn't know that there was a deeply hidden tunnel under the three border towns.

If it weren't for the direct team and the army in Ganzhou, which formed a daily joint patrol, if it was a little later, the city might have been taken down by this group of elite soldiers of the coalition army.

This raid was all a test of his mobilization of troops, using only a few hundred people to make a joint defense patrol with the Ganzhou army.

Now it seems that this test is quite qualified, but Su Qi'an is not complacent, on the contrary, his heart is a lot tighter.

looked at Tong Zhan, who was full of happiness, and said softly, "Tong Zhan's support this time, you are considered timely, but don't be too happy, I asked you to check the border secret passages before, and you all assured me that there was no problem." ”

"But now, there is still a hidden tunnel, if it weren't for the other party taking the initiative to attack and being accidentally discovered by us, if their target is not the capital city and the last four military towns, but the three border towns, if the troops are in more points, what should we do?"

Su Qi'an's reminder suddenly made Tong Zhan feel a kind of fear in his heart, and he also realized that his work was not in place, this time it was good luck, if there was a next time, would they be able to have such good luck again.

Su Qi'an's words undoubtedly sounded a wake-up call for Tong Zhan, and even Zhao Shen on the side realized the seriousness of the matter.

The two smiled and clenched their fists, just wanting to ask for punishment, but were stopped by Su Qi'an.

"In the end, I can't blame you for this, this overseer also has a responsibility, as for the punishment this time, it will be waived, pass the order, transfer a team of 5,000 men, no matter how much cost and how long it takes, we must dig out all the hidden tunnels in Ganzhou for this overseer."

"At the same time, the joint defense of the army and the directly subordinate team must be close, take this raid as a case, what I want to see is 100% success, not 80% or 90%, you know, but if we make a mistake once, it will be a catastrophe for us."

"Yes, my subordinates will do it!"

Immediately, Tong Zhan and Zhao Shen turned to leave, and Su Qi'an stood in place, looking at the destroyed street with an indifferent face, thinking inwardly.

Once or twice, maybe it's nothing, but after a long time, this kind of passive defense is somewhat disadvantaged, since Saktu dares to be so bold, if necessary, Su Qi'an can also use his own way to govern others.

It's just that it's not the time yet, as for what to do, these have to be thought through, at least Saktu's surprise attack tonight gave Su Qi'an an an inspiration to fight back.

The shrouded night passed quickly, and Ganzhou's side reacted very much to the surprise attack that happened last night, not only publicizing what happened last night, but even leaving the captured coalition soldiers for a period of time.

Take the initiative to send someone to inform Saktu that adhering to the generosity of the Celestial Empire, the hundreds of captured soldiers of the coalition army can all be returned, depending on when, the leader of the Saktu Alliance has time to talk, and the overseer and the Lord Protector will definitely accompany him when the time comes.

It didn't sound like anything wrong with it, but everyone could see that it carried a naked humiliation.

His own people were killed in a surprise attack, captured, and taken prisoner, and finally released by the other party in the name of generosity, which is equivalent to slapping Saktu in the face.

The beating was loud, and the news was transmitted back to the evil capital, which inevitably made Saktu angry again, but he couldn't do anything but be angry.

Four or five days passed on the night of the raid, and Saktu's men were not idle, and according to Saktu's orders, they searched for the so-called inner demons in all the countries.

But for four or five days, there is really nothing, think about it, even Su Qi'an doesn't know that there is a so-called inner ghost, how can such a person come out of thin air.

Regarding the matter of the inner ghost, after Saktu calmed down, he had a guess in his heart, there was no inner ghost at all, and the surprise attack that night failed, just as Meng Khan said, with Su Qi'an's temperament, it was absolutely impossible to leave such a fatal flaw.

The ironclad has already been arranged, and the surprise attack of 5,000 elite soldiers just crashed into the trap of the other party, and there will be ghosts until the whole army is annihilated.

Saktu understands all this, but he doesn't want to admit it for the sake of face.

If he really admits it, how will the other lords of the country think of him? The lord of the alliance, because of his own arrogance, lost 5,000 elite soldiers in vain, and if this spreads, his dissatisfaction with him will reach an even greater height.

Originally, it was not easy to rely on force to control the lords of the countries, but if this matter came out, what would the coalition think of him? I'm afraid they will all doubt his command skills.

Don't fight before the war starts, he will be in chaos within himself, so even if he knows that there is no so-called inner ghost, Saktu has to check it hard, at least to keep his momentary wisdom.

Back in the capital of the evil country, Saktu's eyes flashed, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally summoned the liaison envoy Meng Khan.

Although that night, he and Meng Khan quarreled because of discord and quarrels, and once reached the point of saber rattling, but he was Darong's coalition envoy after all, and by guessing Su Qi'an's so-called trap, it can be seen that this person still has two brushes.

Saktu's sudden summoning, Meng Khan was not surprised, he came to the palace with a calm face, first saluted, and before Saktu could speak, a faint voice sounded softly.

"Lord Alliance, since something has happened, no matter how much it says, it will not help, although you have lost five thousand elite soldiers, but the alliance leader, you can stop the loss in time, it will be good."

"Next, if the alliance leader is willing to listen to the envoy's opinion, the envoy must know everything and say everything."

Meng Khan's straightforwardness, Saktu nodded slightly, which is also the reason why he is willing to summon Meng Khan, although sometimes he hides it, but he can still give himself ideas at critical moments.

"Liaison envoy, it's time to talk about it, what will the leader of this alliance do next?"

Meng Khan's indifferent face showed a hint of a smile, and he didn't speak directly, but said in a tricky way, "Hehe, when the alliance leader asked this sentence, he had some thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't make up his mind yet. ”

Saktu raised his eyebrows, and then Meng Khan said again, "Lord Alliance, you still have a good card in your hand, Xu Jiaji's negotiation, what did Su Qi'an say in the end, could it be that you forgot the Alliance Master?" ”

Saktu's eyes flickered at this point, and then he said softly, "You mean... Su Fengwu? ”
