Chapter 110 Huo Yang Discovers Clues
"report"
A lieutenant general of the army rushed into the general's camp.
"General Yang, something is wrong. The Xuanling Kingdom army suddenly took the initiative to attack us."
"You came here in a hurry just to report this to me? They are attacking, and you can organize a counterattack."
"It's not that I don't want to fight back, it's that I can't fight back at all. In less than half an hour just now, the [-] soldiers on the front line have almost been wiped out."
Hearing this news, Yang Li suddenly became nervous.
"What's going on, how many people did they send?"
"Less than three thousand."
what?
Killed my 3000 elite with less than [-] people?
This is impossible.
After fighting against Xuanling Kingdom's army for several years, how could Yang Li not know their strength.
"Go, I'll go and have a look."
Yang Li came to the city wall and looked at the two armies fighting below.
Brows furrowed.
As one of the generals of the uprising army, Yang Li has dealt with Xuanling Kingdom's army a lot these years.
According to his understanding, Xuanling Kingdom does not have such a strong combat power at all.
Watching one's own troops retreat steadily, the casualties were heavy.
Yang Li hurriedly waved his hand and ordered the troops to withdraw immediately.
After the army withdrew into the city, Yang Li sent people down to count the number of casualties.
"General, in this battle, we lost more than 2 people, while the opponent may not even have 1000."
With such a large number of casualties, and being forced back into the city by the opponent, this was the biggest defeat in the history of the rebel army.
Xuan Lingguo's strength suddenly increased, and Yang Li realized that this matter was definitely not easy.
Hurry back to the camp and write down the situation here, and send people to Tianwei City overnight to hand over to Huo Yang.
Zheng Yong, the general in charge of this battle of Xuanling Kingdom, suppressed it for so long, and today he finally won an unprecedented victory, and he was so happy.
"Here's an order to hold a celebration banquet here tonight. Firstly, to celebrate our great victory, and secondly, to clean up our newly arrived elite troops."
When the soldiers heard this, they were extremely excited, and raised their weapons and shouted: "The general is mighty, the general is wise!"
Midnight!
Huo Yang, who was resting, was woken up by his servants.
Knowing that it was related to the battle ahead, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately got up and went to the front hall to meet the messenger.
When he read the contents of the letter, his first reaction was the same as Yang Li's, he didn't think Xuanling Kingdom's army would have such a strong fighting capacity.
"Come here."
"The little one is here."
"Prepare the horse quickly, I want to go to the front line to see for myself."
"Yes."
Normally at this time, everyone in the City Lord's Mansion should have rested.
Suddenly hearing noises coming from the front yard, Ye Rou, who was very light in sleep, went over to have a look.
Vaguely, she heard that it seemed to be related to the national war, so she hurriedly ran to wake up Yueli, and secretly followed Huo Yang towards Xiran City.
"Aunt Rou, he is going to fight, why are we two following?" Yue Li asked in confusion.
"City Master Huo has taken good care of us during this time, and we should protect him well."
If it was just an ordinary battle between the two armies, Yerou would naturally disdain to meddle.
But she just heard from Huo Yang's tone that something beyond his imagination seemed to have happened.
During this period of time, although Huo Yang seldom visited them in other courtyards, he ordered the servants in the mansion to take good care of her and Yueli.
In addition, Qin Yu was kind to them, so Ye Rou wanted to follow to see what happened there, which would make Huo Yang so nervous that he would not even wait all night, and would rush over there overnight.
At dawn the next day, Huo Yang rushed to Xiran City at last.
Yesterday's failure made Yang Li sleepless all night.
Knowing that Huo Yang had arrived, he immediately went to meet him and reported to him the details of what happened on the battlefield yesterday.
"Old Huo, this time it was because I underestimated the enemy that our soldiers died tragically outside the city. If you want to punish me, you can punish me alone. It has nothing to do with the lieutenants." Yang Li knelt down on one knee.
"Old Yang, you and I have known each other for many years, but I still don't know your ability to lead troops? Get up quickly."
After speaking, Huo Yang stepped forward to help Yang Li up.
"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. The truly powerful generals of Xuanling Kingdom died and surrendered. The Zheng Yong who is leading the army to attack the city now, to put it bluntly, I am afraid that even our few generals No lieutenant general."
"As the saying goes, if a soldier loves one, he will love a nest. I don't believe that his soldiers have the strength to compete with our elite troops."
"Could it be that there is something strange about it?"
Huo Yang nodded and continued: "3000 people killed [-] of our elite, it's no wonder there's nothing wrong with it."
"Then what shall we do next?" Yang Li asked.
Huo Yang lay next to Yang Li's ear and quietly told him the plan.
noon!
Standing above the city wall, Yang Li personally blew the attack horn.
The gate of the city was opened, and [-] soldiers and horses rushed towards the enemy's camp aggressively.
Zheng Yong, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately dispatched [-] soldiers to fight back.
At this time, Huo Yang was lurking in the ranks wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier.
After a round of fighting between the two sides, Huo Yang suddenly discovered that there were at least thirty monks hidden in the enemy's army.
Realizing that if the fight continues like this, our own army will surely repeat the mistakes of yesterday.
So he hurried through the crowd and rushed to the commander, telling him to quickly order the withdrawal of troops to reduce losses.
After all the troops withdrew into the city, the gate was closed again.
Facing the clamoring enemy army outside the city, Huo Yang who came to the city wall only shouted one sentence: "It is intolerable for monks to participate in the national war!"
As soon as this word comes out.
Yang Li, who was standing beside him, trembled.
No wonder Xuanling Kingdom's combat effectiveness has increased so much all of a sudden. It turns out that there are monks mixed in with the army to help them.
Cultivators are not allowed to participate in national wars. This is a rule that has been established by various factions thousands of years ago.
Huo Yang used to be a disciple of Tianyun Sect, but he had left the sect for many years, even if he participated in the national war, no one would say anything about it.
But in order to avoid suspicion, he only personally went to the battlefield once during the uprising.
After that, he has been making suggestions in the rear and has never been on the battlefield again.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ao ignored the regulations and allowed monks to pretend to be soldiers and mix in the army, causing Huo Yang's party to suffer heavy losses.
Huo Yang had thought about many possibilities before, but he never thought that there would be monks participating in the national war.
What made him even more puzzled was that now that all factions gathered in the Sky Cloud Sect to prepare for the fight against the Mingzu, how did Xiao Ao find so many monks to help him?
In order to clarify this matter, he planned to go back to Sky Cloud Sect himself.
"Old Yang, try to avoid the war these days if you can, and we'll talk about everything when I come back."
"Don't worry, even if I die, I will never leave Xiyang City behind."
Huo Yang patted him on the shoulder and said: "That's not okay, we'll fight back if we lose the city, but you must be fine."
