Outside the battlefield of Yunjing City, 200,000 armies under the banner of various places have been assembled one after another, and the leader is Xiong Hao, the proud disciple of King Linxi, and later under the recommendation of King Linxi, the garrison general who guarded the Jianmen Pass.

Although this Jianmen Pass is not a national gate, and the troops are not as strong as Haishan Pass, Zhennan Pass and other places, but because it is the main road from north to west in Tianzhou, the strength is also quite good, this time among the 200,000 troops, only he brought 40,000 from Jianmen Pass, and naturally became the commander of this reinforcement.

At this time, a middle-aged general wearing gold armor, wearing an eye patch in one eye, and straddling a long knife was sitting on the horse of the big tent, leaning forward slightly, one hand on the table in front of him, looking at a huge sand table placed on it.

He is the commander of this 200,000-strong army, Xiong Hao.

On top of the sand table, there are flags of five different colors, which are planted in various places on the map.

The golden one is the team of the Prince of the Nightless, the red one is the team of the King of Linxi, the blue one is the Ying Tian army, the golden one is the Qin family army, and the purple one is the representative of the 200,000 army.

A small flag represents 5,000 people, from a quarter of an hour ago, they came to the battlefield near Yunjing City, the vanguard led by him, after building a simple camp, there were scouts from the front to send battle reports, Xiong Hao's side of a marching staff officer was also constantly changing the position and number of flags on the sand table according to intelligence.

With Xiong Hao, the commander who meticulously watched the changes on the sand table, the attitude of the other generals in the big tent was not so serious. These generals drawn from various cities and places are like a plate of scattered sand, and the soldiers under them also lack training and sharpening, and even in some of the poorer cities, the garrison soldiers still have to settle fields, maybe a few days ago they were still holding the handle of a hoe in their hands, and they will have to put on armor and wear swords into battle in the next few days.

If the quality of the soldiers is still like this, how good can the generals be?

Different from Xiong Hao, these generals from all over the country chatted with each other, saying that if it was a matter on the battlefield, it would be fine, but they talked mostly about their own affairs, some talked about the concubine at home gave birth to another son for themselves, and some complained that there were too many bandits in the station, and they must find a way to transfer them away......

In this way, where is there a little tension in the current atmosphere of the war, perhaps in their opinion, this time sending troops to Yunjing City is just to pull in a group of their own sons and horses to help King Linxi, and to get some political bargaining chips for their future promotion and transfer.

Anyway, as they knew, 200,000 troops were almost equal to the sum of all the troops on the battlefield.

As for the battle situation...... Whoever cares, who cares, go!

Finally, Xiong Hao raised his head, patted the sand table in front of him with his hand and said, "Can you be quiet?"

Many generals in the big tent seemed to know that they wanted to give the nominal commander a little face, so they kept silent, but when Xiong Hao lowered his head again and studied the battle situation, he didn't know who started first and whispered the first sentence, and the whole big tent was noisy again.

It's like a wet market!

"Hmph......" Xiong Hao didn't want to say anything more, snorted coldly, and continued to lower his head to study the battle situation.

He was able to go from being a guard beside King Linxi at the beginning, to the garrison general of Jianmen Pass now, and now the commander of the 200,000 reinforcements, not because he was a disciple of King Linxi, and not only because he killed an evil soul sect dead soldier who tried to assassinate King Linxi with his bare hands, and lost an eye for it...... More importantly, he had a habit of collecting intelligence before the war and marking the allocation of troops on the sand table.

This allowed him to change from a martial artist to a commander, and he had the vision of the overall situation, so he was able to win three battles and three victories with the army of the Evil Soul Sect when the King of Linxi promoted him to fight alone, and was established as a model in the army for a while.

If it weren't for his upright temperament and reluctance to get close to other generals under the King of Linxi, he wouldn't have stayed in Yunjing after the disaster of the Evil Soul Sect, but was sent to the Sword Gate.

At this time, he compared himself to the generals of these miscellaneous armies in various places, like a goshawk who plotted to hunt for food and a flock of crows who only knew how to follow behind and eat carrion.

"General......" Another scout came in, saluted Xiong Hao and said, "The Qin family army in front has moved!"

"Hmm......" Xiong Hao nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"They are advancing towards the camp of our army!"

"Huh?" Xiong Hao frowned and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"

"Some people say that the Qin family army has defected!" The scout said in a low voice: "This matter was told by a deserter on the battlefield, this matter has been completely blocked by the side of the prince of the nightless, and the scouts on our side can't contact the prince's army, if it weren't for this deserter, we may not know anything about this matter!"

"The Qin family army has rebelled?" almost all the generals in the big tent, including Xiong Hao, were shocked.

But Xiong Hao immediately denied it: "Impossible! The information that came before also said that the Qin family army and the Ying Tian army were at a disadvantage, and both sides suffered great casualties. How did it become a rebellion of the Qin family army in the blink of an eye?"

He stared at the sand table in front of him, he clearly remembered just now that the banners representing the Qin family army were ten, that is, 50,000 troops, and they had just been cut by two, that is, according to the intelligence of the scouts, there were probably more than 10,000 Qin family troops who had lost their combat effectiveness, how could they suddenly mutiny?

"That's right, Bing Gehou and the prince are both in-laws, how can they rebel?" A local garrison general sitting below shouted: "Anti-plot, it must be the enemy's counter-plot!"

"Yes, this is to want us to kill each other with the Qin family!" Another person said loudly: "Such a trick is too clumsy!"

"That's right, what are you kidding, the Qin family army is definitely a friendly army, okay?"

When the words fell, a group of uninformed garrison generals from all over the country clamoured and echoed.

"Then may I ask you, why are the friendly troops advancing towards our army's camp?" a general who was friendly with Xiong Hao frowned and asked, "Shouldn't the friendly army attack the Ying Tian army?"

At this moment, some of the garrison generals who only knew what to do on paper laughed coldly: "Have you ever fought? Do you still want to ask us?"

"Of course, the war is unfavorable, and we must join forces with our army and tear apart the defense line of the Yingtian army together!"

"That's right, the battle ahead is unfavorable, the Qin family army has suffered heavy losses, if you are the commander of the Qin family's army, and there are 200,000 friendly troops behind you, will you choose to continue to drag the tired soldiers to the enemy to the death, or will you join up with the reinforcements and break the enemy in one fell swoop?" A young general sitting at the bottom sneered: "Your question is really funny!"

The general, who thought that the Qin family army had rebelled, was provoked by the young general, and his face immediately turned red and lowered his head.

At this moment, another scout ran in from inside the big tent, panting and said, "Oh no, big deal, General Xiong!"

"What's wrong?" Xiong Hao glanced at him and asked, "What happened?"

"The Qin family army is approaching our army's camp!" the scout said loudly: "It seems that the person who came is not good!"

"Isn't the comer good?" Xiong Hao looked at the sand table in front of him, raised his head slightly, and said to the scout, "Then when you went to spy on intelligence, did they attack you?"

"No ......," the scout replied bluntly. "Didn't attack us ......"

"Is it really a false alarm, just here to join the friendly army?" Xiong Hao muttered in his heart, and then ordered the scout: "Probe again, see if the Qin family's army is neat, if the army is neat, it must not be a rout, those who come are not good, immediately use firearms to stop them, if the queue is chaotic, immediately open the camp for reinforcements, and let the friendly army come in to rest!"

After a while, the scout rushed in again: "Report to General Xiong, the Qin family's army is well-groomed, and it is only a hundred steps away from our army's camp!"

"Quickly order to shoot, so that the rear army is ready for battle!" The general who supported Xiong Hao said loudly: "The Qin family army is good at cavalry, and most of the forwards of our army are infantry and civilians who transport the front-line baggage, once they rush into the camp, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Yes, a hundred paces away, at this time, shooting with firearms and crossbow arrows can indeed receive the best results......" Another general with a little experience in leading troops also nodded and said. "Maybe you can catch the Qin family army by surprise!"

"Wait!" At this time, the young general who had refuted them before said again: "The Qin family army is highly disciplined, the order is forbidden, and it was famous in Tianzhou during the Taizu period, even if it retreats, it will not be like other troops, throwing away their armor, if they are judged to have defected only by the strict appearance of the army...... The general shook his head and said: "If the firearm goes off, the Qin family army, which originally came to join the friendly army, finds that it has been attacked, what will happen?"

The young general said this, in the big tent, the generals who originally supported the immediate opening of fire on the Qin family army couldn't help but shiver.

Even if they are now in an unfavorable battle situation and are very tired from fighting with the Ying Tian army, it is really not too much of a problem to deal with the more than 40,000 defenders of the Sword Gate Pass who have reached the front line, and it can even be said that if they are in a hurry, they will fight so hard that the Qin army will lose all their money, and they can directly disperse the 200,000 troops and burn everyone to the ground.

You know, these 200,000 reinforcements are not a complete formation, but a ragtag army cobbled together from all over the place, once they are scattered, they are really scattered, and it is a dream to want to integrate them and fight again!
