The soldiers are very fast, not to mention the surprise battle. From the moment Tatiu led 8,000 barbarians into the satellite city, he had no intention of hiding his whereabouts, and advanced all the way at high speed. After entering Xiongguan City, he was even more crazy to do things. In this way, this news naturally cannot be hidden......

It's only been half a day!

Xiongguan City fell, the barbarians wantonly slaughtered the city, the people were miserable, the fire in the city was monstrous, and the smoke was billowing out...... All sorts of shocking news quickly spread around!

The first to receive the news was the barbarian coach, An Shuai. This is also inevitable, although he retreated, he was still the closest to Xiongguan City, not to mention that he had always paid attention to this direction, so he naturally knew what Tiu was doing in Xiongguan City at the first time.

Looking at the direction of Xiongguan City, An Shuai's expression was a little strange and complicated, regretful, excited, regretful, excited...... All kinds of emotions were mixed, and he stood on the spot for a while.

This is not to regret that he failed to replace him, although from the whole thing, such a result is the merit of his painstaking planning for more than ten years, and Natiu is just a villain who speculates and steals the fruit. It's just that the fruit is too big, too big...... Zi Yi and Zichen's army suppressed the Northern Wilderness for decades, so that the tribal barbarians could not raise their heads at all. When this news came out, the barbarians carried the 100,000 mountains on their backs and the bone-eroding needles in their hearts, undoubtedly eliminating most of them. It can be said that Tiu stepped on Ziyi's rise to the throne in one fell swoop, and his reputation is enough to make the mainland tremble, change color, and leave a strong mark in the annals of history!

But in any case, in the final analysis, An Shuai himself had concerns and consciously let it go. With his hundred rivers of mind. Once the mind is decided. It's not like you will regret beating your chest and stunning. Besides, he is now leading his army to prepare for an ambush. If you can successfully kill Zi Yi and finish it in one battle, such glory is not less than the former.

He was just a little dissatisfied with Tiu's slaughter of the city, and he also regretted the destruction of the Xiongguan Heavy City that Zi Yi had been operating for decades. This idea is not soft-hearted, with the bad relationship between the Northern Wilderness and Bran, even if there are more Bran people dead, he will not raise an eyebrow. It's just that the veterans of this hundred battles have a broader horizon and more distant thoughts. If the undamaged Xiongguan City can be taken as an important strategic springboard for this side to attack the hinterland of Bran, it will undoubtedly be more advantageous.

Of course, these emotions such as disapproval and regret are faint and not very strong, because An Shuai can understand Tiu's move! Tiu is not him after all, and his control over his subordinates has not reached the level of completely prohibiting it. The pressure on Ziyi and Zichen's legion on the Northern Wilderness side is too great, and now that they have the opportunity to end the other party's nest and spread wildness wantonly, the barbarian warriors will naturally not let it go. Such emotions are piled up. Regardless of whether the massacre was Tiu's subjective will or not, it was imperative!

"Finally ruined ......," sighed inexplicably. This barbarian veteran, who has observed Xiongguan City hundreds of times, whether on the topographic map or on the spot, has a somewhat dry voice, "It belongs to the front-line era of Ziyi, and ...... has passed."

............

Cangyan Legion, Headquarters.

When the news arrived, it was nearly dusk. It was the scout who had whipped desperately and killed a few horses to get here in such a short time. And that's it, after shouting two sentences, the dedicated scout passed out on the spot.

"Xiongguan City fell, and the barbarians slaughtered the city......"

The room instantly fell silent, the old commander Cang Yan holding a teacup, the officers at all levels who were discussing fiercely, etc., were frozen in place like sculptures, and Mu Mu looked at the scout who had fallen to the ground softly. That look vaguely looked like he was looking at a roadside madman......

Xiongguan Castle fell...... Are you TM kidding me?

Although the three major legions secretly make small moves, no one obeys anyone. But in fact, the people of Cangyan and the Thunder Legion know in their hearts that although the Zichen Legion has not had any successful achievements in the past few years, and the military god Ziyi has almost never left Xiongguan City, but this does not mean that the Zichen Legion, which is known as the strongest combat power among all the legions of Bran, is no longer familiar with war. Originally, the barbarians didn't attack the Zichen defense area at all, how did you let them make meritorious contributions?

And in fact, although it was only a short day, the report that flew to the headquarters like a snowflake, saying that the various armies of the Zichen Legion successfully intercepted the barbarians who were attacking frantically outside the city wall of the Cangyan soldiers, undoubtedly showed that this strongest name was not unworthy of the name!

Kowtow...... Putting down the teacup, the old boss Cangyan had a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "Order, send a team to inquire about the situation in the direction of the Zichen Defense Zone, and if you encounter a scout coming from there, bring it to me immediately!"

"Uh...... Yes!" An officer quickly pushed the door open.

Only then did all the officers in the room slowly come back to their senses, and they looked at each other, their faces a little incredulous and a little uneasy.

To be honest, they are seriously skeptical about the authenticity of this information. Will Xiongguan City, which has not seen the flames of war for more than 20 years, fall? This is really a test of their nervous receptivity! But intellectually speaking, this comatose scout would not dare to convey such absurd false news, even if he had eaten the guts of an ambitious leopard......

Thinking of this, several senior officers stepped forward to pick up the unconscious scout on the ground, shook it a few times to no avail, brought tea from the back, sprayed it directly on the scout's face, and still didn't wake up.

Seeing this, the hearts of the officers couldn't help but sink, they were not academics who could only talk on paper, but actual combat generals who could lead their troops to fight with swords on their horses. This scout has not woken up under all the methods, which can only mean that his physical and mental strength has been completely exhausted. In a way, the message that the scout did his best to convey should not be a joke.

Some officers who were already cautious began to accept this fact with difficulty, and subconsciously considered the possible direct impact of the matter. But his thoughts simply turned around a few times, his scalp was numb, his back bones were cold, and his body was like falling into an ice cellar!

The strategic position of Xiongguan City is really sensitive, and if you break through here, the rear is a flat terrain, and there is almost no danger to defend. As long as the barbarians use this as a strategic springboard, they can continue to gather manpower, enter the northern hinterland, and attack wantonly. Retreat can be based on the city and defend, impregnable, basically invincible.

In the past, when the Zichen Legion had not settled in Xiongguan City, this city had indeed been destroyed many times. Every time, Bran's side spent a great price, and some even sacrificed other fronts, and it took heavy damage to recapture it. And in this war, the Northern Wilderness launched a fierce attack with almost all the tribal forces, and it is really difficult to say whether this side can take it again......

And even if you don't think about the future, you only think about the present. If the news of the fall of Xiongguan City is true, how will the Zichen army, which is reinforcing their defense area, respond? Will Zi Yi transfer various armies in order to regain Xiongguan City?

If Zi Yizhen does this, then the Cangyan Legion will undoubtedly become the biggest victim. You must know that the tens of thousands of barbarians they forcibly circled before have not yet been digested, and once the Zichen Legion troops withdraw, their soldiers' defense line will definitely directly face the attack of the reinforcements of the barbarians. Needless to say, there is no suspense about being properly beaten into a colander. At that time, the complete loss of the Cangyan Defense Zone was imminent......

With these terrifying thoughts turned in this way, the door of the headquarters was pushed open again, and the officer who had just gone out walked into the house with a few scouts who were in the dust.

With such a major news as the fall of Xiongguan City, naturally there will not be only one scout to find out, and the difference is just a matter of time or time when it is conveyed. The officer had apparently just gone out when he encountered the three scouts who were hurrying in.

Lowering his head to avoid the many burning eyes around him, the officer's tone was painful: "Marshal, Xiongguancheng is indeed ...... It did fall ......"

Wow......

Although I had received the news before, and I had already expected it when I saw the officer's expression when he came in, after the news was really confirmed, there were still all kinds of exclamations and gasps in the room. At this moment,

Bang! The thunderous sound of slamming the table sounded suddenly, the table top trembled, the teacup fell to the ground, and there was a sharp breaking sound.

There was an instant silence in the room, "What's the panic, the sky can't fall!" Slowly retracting his palm, the old boss Cangyan had a solemn face, and his power was exhausted. Then he looked around and took a deep breath, "Where is Zi Yi's position now?"

"Yes, it should be in the middle of the Zichen army. ”

"Should?"

The senior officer who replied looked directly into the angry eyes of the old marshal and spread his hands: "Except for the fact that he had communicated with our side before and asked about the battle situation, Zi Yi did not convey any news. And according to the information we received here, the soldiers only saw the other four Zichen troops, and they didn't see Zi Yi at all. ”

"En?" Old Coach Cangyan was shocked when he heard this, and then his brows furrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought. Half-ringing, he said in a deep voice, "Pass the order and send someone to spread this news to Zichen's various armies." ”

"Marshal......" Several officers exclaimed at the same time when they heard this, and then they looked at each other, their lips squirming, and they stopped talking.

"Dispel your stupid thoughts!" As if knowing what a few people were thinking, the old marshal Cangyan's face instantly turned gloomy, "They are Bran generals, they know what to do!"

Several officers bowed their heads when they heard this, and remained silent. Obviously, because they were worried that several armies of the Zichen Legion would suddenly withdraw and bring ruin to this side, they had just moved the idea of blocking the news.

Easing slightly, a few gleams flashed in the old marshal's eyes, and he muttered: "Also, try to block this news from the outside." Well, at least don't let it circulate in our defense zone. ”

"Uh......" All the officers were stunned when they heard this, such a big thing as the fall of Xiongguan City, it was naturally impossible to completely blockade it. But the marshal deliberately did these thankless things, is it...... Is there a turning point in this matter?

If Zi Yi really has the ability to turn the tables in one fell swoop, or if this is just a ploy, then how can he let Xiongguan Heavy City fall to the enemy? Let thousands of civilians in the city be buried under the butcher's knives of the barbarians......
