"Are you saying that Kate and White also caught quite a few captives?" asked Li Zijun, looking at the monkey.

Those Ziqing soldiers really had no backbone at all, and when they saw that the defeat was decided, they knelt down and surrendered. Just now, Young Master White roughly counted, and he actually captured almost 20,000 prisoners in this battle. The Prime Minister and Master Camp are going to be happy this time!"

"It's good to be happy! how did you do the thing that asked you to do?" Li Zijun smiled slightly, and then he lowered his voice.

"The man has already escaped, but I dare not promise you exactly where he will flee!"

"You don't need to guarantee it! you go and get Figg, Kate, and White back for me at once, and tell them that I have something important to discuss with them. ”

"Yes, I'll do it!"

"Wait, what's the hurry, I haven't finished my words yet! You can send someone to help me bring a message to the Admiral now: just say it's time to start!"

"Just those few words?"

"Just those words!

"Young master, don't worry, I promise to complete the task!" Seeing that Li Zijun didn't have any more instructions, the monkey turned around and ran out.

"Marshal, marshal!" Harry was asleep when the intelligence officer hurried into the council chamber.

"What's the matter?" Harry snapped and opened his eyes immediately.

"Marshal, General Yuan Xiu's lieutenant has fled back, and he asks to see you immediately?"

"Yuan Xiu's lieutenant, then what are you waiting for, hurry up and bring him in to see me!" Harry shook and sat up straight.

After a while, Yuan Xiu's lieutenant followed the intelligence officer into the council hall.

"Salute to the marshal!"

"Excuse me. Hurry up and tell me what happened in Poppy last night, why did it change hands overnight, and what about my 80,000 horses?"

"Returning to the Marshal: Last night Edlaide led the men to sneak into the Poppy City. He used a person who was very close to the general's voice to send all the main generals in the city to the castle guard's mansion. Because he put a weak anesthetic in the council hall of the castle guard's mansion. We generals barely understood what was going on, and we all became his captives. ”

Subsequently, he launched a sneak attack on Poppy. Because of the suddenness of the incident, and the fact that the generals of the various departments were not in the army, they quickly and smoothly occupied all the key points in the city, and at the same time divided our various departments into several small pieces!"

"Immediately after, immediately after" watched as Harry's face grew more and more ugly, and the lieutenant's voice grew quieter.

"And then, Edlaide told you waste generals to persuade your troops to surrender, didn't you?" a frustrated Harry grabbed the paperweight on the table and was about to smash it down. But the moment he lifted the paperweight above his head, he let out a sharp sigh and put down the paperweight in his hand.

"Now that you're all captives of Edlaide, how did you escape?"

"Probably thinking that we were all drugged and couldn't escape, Edlaide just casually locked us up together and didn't bother us too much. ”

"Coincidentally, General Yuan Xiu hid a pill that could relieve the drug, and in order to let the last general escape, he secretly handed over this small pill to me!"

"It's not just drugs. That little pill has a slowing and even healing effect on many poisons, and the main generals in our army have such small pills. But why didn't Yuan Xiu swallow the pill himself, but give it to you?" said this, Harry's eyes became stern as he looked at the lieutenant general.

"The general said his goal was too big. If he is found missing, Edlaide will immediately lock down Poppy. That way, even if he doesn't get caught by Edlaide. It will also delay the fighter. So, he finally handed over this task of delivering the message to the last general!"

"What kind of fighter plane is delayed? What is the message you want to deliver?" Harry immediately perked up and looked at the lieutenant's eyes wide.

"The General Ordered Me"

"Report!" the lieutenant did not have time to say the following. There was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Harry asked impatiently, frowning, as he looked out the door, obviously not wanting to be disturbed at this time.

"Marshal, we just captured a Dongyu messenger, and we have found important information on him!"

"Important, go outside and see, what's going on?" Harry waved his hand and sent the intelligence officer away.

"Go on, what message did Yuan Xiu ask you to pass on?" Harry's attention shifted to the lieutenant again.

"The general ordered me to report to the marshal: At present, the Dongyu army around the city is less than 100,000 at most!

"Less than 100,000, what do you mean?"

"The general hopes that the marshal can raise troops as soon as possible, and take advantage of Edlaide's foothold to recapture the city in one fell swoop!"

"Take back Poppy in one fell swoop?" Harry frowned, lost in thought.

"Marshal, marshal, good news, good news!" At that moment, the intelligence officer rushed in through the door. He rushed straight to Harry and couldn't wait to hand the information in his hand to Harry.

Harry took the information from the intelligence officer, and there was only one line on the note: Ogden is attacked, discretion!

"The Fengqi Empire has finally made a move!" the intelligence officer's face was full of surprise, and he let out a long sigh as he looked up to the sky.

"What does 'discretion' mean?" Harry asked, tapping the note on the table.

"It should be reinforcements 'as appropriate' or advance or retreat as 'appropriate'. It must be so!"

"Oh, you just went out and you didn't hear it. ”

"Tell him more about the news you brought!" Harry waved at the lieutenant who was still standing below.

The adjutant general did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly repeated his previous words to the intelligence officer.

"There are only 100,000 people in Poppy City?! I see, in fact, Dongyu's reinforcements did not arrive, but Edlaide took the initiative and took the risk to fight this battle. ”

Of course, if reinforcements arrive on time, he will still be a big winner. But now this development of events has obviously exceeded his expectations, and he has become a lone army!"

"The word 'discretion' in that secret letter just now should have told him to retreat at his discretion, yes, it must be so!" the intelligence officer's right fist slammed into his left hand.

"Marshal, don't miss the opportunity and come again!"

"What do you mean?"

"Attack Poppy City at once, and drive Edlaide out of Poppy City and reclaim our supplies in one fell swoop!" suggested the Intelligence Officer, looking at Harry with an excited expression.

"If we're lucky enough, we might have a chance to trap Edlaide in Poppy City as well. In that case, I'm afraid he, the 'Dongyu Military God', will also become our prisoner!" As he spoke, the intelligence officer even dreamed of capturing Li Zijun.

"How did they get into the city, Edlaide, and why didn't any of you notice it from beginning to end, and did any of your generals suddenly disappear and reappear?"

"We smelled an extremely bad smell on them in Edlaide, and we all guessed they had entered the poppy city through some sewer we didn't know about. That's probably why we didn't find out about them!"

"As for your third question, I understand what you mean, but I can assure you with my life: there is not a single soft bone among our generals, nor a single traitor or traitor! ”

"You should also understand that in that situation, if we continue to hold out, it will no longer be a fight, but a slaughter!"

"But as you said, Edlaide knows almost all of you where you're stationed, how could he possibly do that without an insider's designation?"

"We are also puzzled by this, but it also shows that there are no moles among us. Because except for the general, no one else knows about the situation of the station, at least not all of them!, and the general, it is even more impossible!" At this point, the adjutant general straightened his waist.

"You believe in Yuan Xiu like that?"

"Till death!"

Hearing the lieutenant's answer, Harry closed his eyes quietly, he didn't make a sound for a long time.

"Report!" someone from outside the door came again, but Harry still didn't respond.

The intelligence officer sighed, turned and walked out, but in a few moments, he trotted all the way to Harry:

"Marshal, Edlaide is starting to shrink his forces, it seems that he has received the news and is ready to escape!

"I'm afraid it's too late if you don't do it!" Seeing that Harry was still hesitating, the intelligence officer couldn't help but urge.

"But what if this is a trap set for us by Edlaide? If that's the case, I'm afraid that few of us will be able to return to Ziqing alive!"

"Marshal, in last night's battle, not only did we lose nearly 150,000 horses, but Edlaide easily recaptured the city and robbed us of most of our food, grass and supplies. Without these supplies, we won't have anything to eat in ten days, and we'll be dead!"

"Marshal, we have no way out. This battle is not a question of whether we want to fight or whether we can fight it, but we must fight it. Otherwise," said the intelligence officer, shutting his mouth.

The intelligence officer didn't say anything more, but Harry knew exactly what he meant: otherwise, they would die without a place to bury!

"Okay, whether we succeed or fail, we'll be with Edlaide today!" the intelligence officer's explanation made Harry completely shake off the last trace of hesitation and make up his mind to fight Li Zijun to the death.

Hearing the news of Harry's troops, Li Zijun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he only said two words:

"Action!" (To be continued.) )
