Chapter 301 Shadow
after one day.
Border coalition camp outside Xifeng City.
"Brother Mo, you have to make an idea about this!"
The generals who had finally recovered from the chaos gathered together. Everyone formed a group in Bao Jianye's tent, with their brows furrowed and looking at the deputy general who was surrounded by everyone from time to time.
This lieutenant general was the one who had urged Bao Jianye to let the civilians go and not let the expelled civilians from Xifeng City serve as cannon fodder on the front lines. Because of this, he had a bad time with Bao Jianye.
This deputy general's surname was inexplicable Zhongping, and his military rank had reached the rank of ninth-class captain. He was only one step away from advancing to the next level. At this moment, he was the highest-ranking member of the border coalition, and he was temporarily elected as the leader by the generals.
Suddenly becoming the commander-in-chief of an army of 200,000 to 300,000 people, Mo Zhongping didn't have a trace of joy on his face. On the contrary, he looked worried.
Everyone knows that the current situation is unfavorable, and everyone knows what kind of responsibilities he will bear by taking over the army at this time. If not, how could Mo Zhongping easily obtain the position of supreme commander.
Under the eyes of the generals, Mo Zhongping did not speak, but squatted on the ground habitually, smoking a dry cigarette in his mouth, and the smoke reflected a gloomy mist.
He made up his mind?
Mo Zhongping's own family knew about his affairs, what idea could he make at this time?
Can't get in.
Not to mention that the border coalition forces had just suffered a major defeat and their morale was low. If they relied on this morale to attack Xifeng City, it would be tantamount to seeking death.
What's more, they saw with their own eyes yesterday that Xifeng City had received reinforcements again. The Qingyang reinforcements that marched towards Xifeng City were roughly estimated to number at least half a million.
The other party didn't take advantage of the large number of people to come out of the city to attack them. It was already considered lucky, so why did they attack the city?
To attack a city is to seek death.
And retreat?
How to withdraw?
When they came, the 400,000-strong army was in high spirits, with the momentum of conquering Xifeng City in one fell swoop and slaying the enemy generals. But now, after losing more than half of the troops and horses, they went back in despair?
Coach Bao Jianye was killed in action!
In an army, the commander is naturally the most important person, and these people cannot even protect their own commander, so someone breaks in and kills them with swords. This is not only a shame, but also a serious crime.
If they go back, every one of them here will be punished, and serious cases may even be executed. With such concerns, who would dare to go back?
Even if you want to go back, you must at least perform some military exploits before going back. It is also good to use your merits to offset your defeat.
So the question now is, how should this gong be established?
Can Xifeng City still be defeated?
Of course they can't. Not only can't they do it, they even have to prepare for the opponent to come out of the city to fight. With the current strength of the troops in Xifeng City, they simply can't resist it.
The gloom and mist came from this. No one knew how to deal with this matter, and no one dared to express opinions easily at this time. If something went wrong, it would be aggravation.
But what can Mo Zhongping do?
Apart from smoking a dry cigarette in his head, he couldn't say a word.
At this moment.
"General, General Mo!"
From the direction of the back camp, a scout rushed towards him at a fast speed. The people were still outside the tent, and they followed closely with loud sounds.
Mo Zhongping frowned and looked up outside the tent. The tent door was not closed. He directly saw the nervous scouts rushing towards him.
To be honest, he felt a little shadowy now, especially because the scout rushing from the direction of the rear camp looked like the other party's spy. For a while, he just stared at the man without saying a word.
"What's the matter?"
The general next to him glared at the scout and asked.
"Back to the general, from the direction of Dongping City... someone is coming!"
The scout probably had some shadows as well. Although he came eagerly, when it came time to report, his tone was slightly hesitant.
"Is anyone coming?"
The general who asked the question also frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Are they reinforcements? How many people are there?"
"this……"
The scout was startled and responded: "There are only about a hundred people, and they are flying the banner of Dongping City."
This statement is even less confident. After all, just yesterday, there were ten thousand troops under the banner of Dongping City, and they were the most elite tiger and wolf cavalry in Dongping City.
The opponent can even get the military uniforms of the Tiger and Wolf Cavalry, let alone ordinary Dongping City armaments?
The current border coalition forces are really in a state of turmoil.
"What are you afraid of?"
On the contrary, Mo Zhongping, who had been silent all the time, put out the smoke pot with one finger and stood up, "There are only a hundred people, can we not defeat them?"
All the generals were stunned, and all shook their heads with a wry smile.
They were really scared out of their wits. When they heard that someone was coming from the rear, even though it was only a hundred people, it also made them wary.
"There must be someone coming from Dongping City. Let's go and have a look."
After Mo Zhongping stood up, he walked up while talking.
It's useless to spend time here anyway, so it's better to go and have a look. If someone is really coming from Dongping City, at least hand over the responsibility, and he won't have to worry so much here.
The generals came out of their tents, and what made Mo Zhongping slightly startled was that he actually saw a small number of troops marching towards them.
It's one of our own!
Before he could see who was coming, Mo Zhongping had already made a judgment in his mind. If he was not one of his own and came without a military plane token, the soldiers behind him would not be able to let him go.
There are only a hundred people on the other side, so they couldn't have come all the way, right?
Upon thinking of this, he led his generals to greet him, and took two steps forward. Mo Zhongping's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly smiled and said, "It turns out that Brother Xu is here!"
The person walking towards him was none other than Xu Feng, who had previously served as the leader of the garrison at the head of Dongping City!
But what Mo Zhongping didn't know was that the person walking with Xu Feng at this time was Chen Ming, a person from Xifeng City who made the generals extremely uncomfortable.
The fact that the two of them came to the border coalition station together is enough to show that Chen Ming not only successfully persuaded Xu Feng, but also made General Ouyang, the supreme commander of Dongping City and even the border area of Nantes Province, agree with Chen Ming's statement.
, I think there is a possibility of a fight on this matter.
Therefore, General Ouyang ordered Xu Feng to bring Chen Ming here because he wanted to confirm the method that Xu Feng had thought of before to prove Chen Ming's identity.
Chen Ming goes to Xifeng City to call the city. If the other party does not attack him, opens the city gate, and sends people to contact them, then it can be proved that Chen Ming is indeed coming from Xifeng City.
"Old Mo, what's going on here?"
Xu Feng and Mo Zhongping were both local generals in Dongping City, and they were familiar with each other, but at this time Xu Feng did not give Mo Zhongping any good looks.
The situation on the border coalition forces' side has naturally been reported back to Dongping City. Dongping City was extremely dissatisfied with the situation here. Xu Feng even knew that General Ouyang lost his temper because of this.
"This...it's hard to describe in words!"
