The generals read the battle report, some were angry, some were shocked, and some were puzzled. After reading the battle report, Qianye was even more puzzled. The battle report showed that the central fortress had only been guarded for half an hour before the line of defense collapsed and was overwhelmed by the army of darkness.
Because the line of defense fell so quickly, the Zhao faction had no time to send warships to respond. When the battle line collapsed, the high-speed battleship that was originally prepared for response was carrying Qianye and others, and was just about to land at the rear base.
The loss of the central fortress immediately caused a chain reaction in the battle situation. The pressure on the fortresses on the two wings suddenly increased, and they were besieged from all sides. Under such circumstances, the two fortresses fought to the death and held on until the rescue warships urgently dispatched by the Zhao Clan arrived.
However, things happened hastily, and this retreat was not as risk-free as the previous two. Four of the six warships dispatched were shot down, and only two barely carried the fortress defenders to retreat. In a short period of time, more than half of the defenders of the two-wing fortress were killed or injured, and most of the rest were seriously injured. They fought to the death with a burst of blood to persist until the end.
On this short page of the battle report, there seemed to be a strong smell of blood rushing towards his face.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Yuying asked, "How many people have been withdrawn from the central fortress?"
This question was like a boulder, breaking the embarrassing silence and breaking the taboo that everyone had been unwilling to touch.
Qianye, who had personally experienced two fortress defense battles, knew very well that when the defense line collapsed rapidly, without a battleship to respond, it was just a daydream to want to retreat. The defenders of the central fortress must have been wiped out.
It's just that Qianye couldn't figure it out even more, how could it be possible to lose so quickly with the guarding power of the central fortress
Zhao Yuying, who was going to guard the fortress, was suddenly seriously injured, but she also added a number of powerful generals to the fortress, all of whom were under the command of Duke You. And Zhao Fenglei is also assisted by many powerful generals from the Duke of Yan's mansion. In terms of combat power on paper alone, the two fortress guards led by Qianye and Song Zining are more like motley crews.
Zhao Junfang stood with his hands behind his back, expressionless, and said after a while: "The guards of the fortress... most of them died in battle."
Zhao Yuying stood up abruptly: "Mostly? Does that mean there are still people who escaped alive?"
She couldn't help but not care about this issue, after all, there are many people from Youguo Duke's Mansion in the fortress guards, and one of them is an elder who watched her grow up.
Zhao Junfang's voice was gloomy, and every word was like a hammer on everyone's hearts: "A total of seven escaped, Zhao Fenglei and six people from the Duke of Yan's mansion."
The faces of those who could tell the secret changed in an instant. They all knew the deployment of troops in the central fortress. The Duke of Yan's mansion has a total of six generals, including Zhao Fenglei, there are seven in total.
Zhao Yuying tremblingly said: "Where are the people from my Youguo Mansion?"
Zhao Junfang shook his head and said, "No news."
Everyone knows that this is a euphemism, no news is the worst news. Trapped deep in the army, how could it be possible for a few generals to escape
Zhao Yuying shouted and asked: "How did those people from the Duke of Yan's mansion escape!?"
Zhao Junfang frowned, and said slowly, "I don't know either."
At this time, a general sneered: "It's hard to guess. Those people must have secretly hidden a fast boat in the fortress. When they saw the enemy's strength, they broke through first." Heavy.
Zhao Junfang frowned even tighter, and shouted: "This matter is of great importance, how can we speculate randomly?"
The general was from the lineage of Duke You, but he was not afraid of Zhao Junfang, and still sneered: "If my guess is true, then how did this ship come from and why it was put in the fortress without record, This is something that really needs to be said.”
According to the usual practice, airships are strategic weapons, and any deployment arrangement needs to be approved by the commander of the theater, or at least report the movement. If a small high-speed floating ship is placed in the fortress, everyone would think that the Lord will leave a way for himself. How can the soldiers have the heart to fight to the death
The existence of this unregistered floating ship proves that the senior management of the Zhao Clan was responsible for negligence. To be precise, the lineage of Cheng Engong represented by Zhao Junfang cannot escape the responsibility. So the general from Duke You's mansion spoke in a blunt tone, after all, the Duke You's lineage suffered the most losses in this battle.
After hearing this, Zhao Yuying lost her temper and sat quietly. But those who are familiar with her know that she is the most dangerous at this time. The temporary silence means that what is about to come is an earth-shattering eruption.
The matter was so important that Zhao Junfang had no choice but to suppress his anger and explained: "Whether there are unregistered airships remains to be investigated. However, this general can guarantee you with 40 years of military service. Didn't know about it before."
Now that Zhao Junfang had already said that, the general couldn't say anything more, so he snorted and sat back on his seat.
Zhao Junfang glanced at the generals in the room, and said: "There is one more important matter right now, we cannot let the soldiers of the dark army go beyond the fortress. This battle concerns the entire situation of the Zhao clan, and you all need to fight with all your strength. The army is scheduled to gather in the evening Finished, go to the defense line. Everyone can wait for another two hours, and then station at their respective positions. I will divide the defense area to you later, I wonder if you have any objections?"
Most of the generals present were direct descendants of the Zhao Clan, and the only ones who were not part of the Zhao Clan, Qianye and Song Zining, also had a close relationship with the Zhao Clan, so naturally they would not refuse at this time of crisis.
Seeing that no one objected, Zhao Junfang was very relieved, and waved his hand: "Many of you still have unhealed injuries. I will open the strategic resource bank and distribute the reserved medicine to everyone. It should be effective."
After hearing this, all the generals were refreshed. The wound medicines hidden by the Zhao Clan are naturally rare and high-quality products. Many of them are directly obtained from the Li family, and they are not available in the market. With these medicines in hand, the hope of saving his life has increased by at least 30%.
Seeing that the morale was available, Zhao Junfang waved his hand and shouted: "Since this is the case, please go back and rest. Tonight and tomorrow morning, we will fight the dark race to the death!"
At this moment, everyone suddenly felt the house shaking slightly, and the shaking became more and more obvious. In a blink of an eye, the shaking was so strong that even ordinary soldiers could feel it. To make the main building of the base shake so much, what happened
The impatient generals had already rushed to the window, looked out, and suddenly saw a huge shadow passing by in the air!
They were shocked immediately, and looked up to the sky, only to see a warship flying over the fortress, followed by several warships, and more than ten large transport ships. Until then, the piercing siren siren sounded in the fortress.
Several generals immediately recognized the warship flying in the air as the warship of the Zhao Clan, but this fleet did not appear in the battle report, and they did not know where it came from.
Just when several generals were in doubt, the door of the military council room suddenly opened, Zhao Jundu walked in and said: "There is no need to assemble."
Zhao Junfang was stunned and said, "Why?"
Zhao Jundu said lightly: "It's too slow. I will personally lead the army to attack, and at sunset, I will meet the army of darkness and beat them back."
Zhao Junfang was even more astonished, and said, "Fourth Young Master, this...isn't it too hasty? Your safety is far more important than the outcome of a momentary battle!"
Zhao Junfang said it euphemistically, but the other general of Cheng En Gongfu was much simpler and rude: "The fourth son has a bright future, and he is the future pillar of the empire! Why take such a big risk for the remnant army of Zhang Clan? It's not worth it!"
The other generals of Duke Cheng's Mansion also persuaded him one after another, even the generals of Duke You's line couldn't help but agree. All the generals are worried that there are many strong people of the dark race, and Zhao Jundu is young after all, and his cultivation is far from the limit, so he might not be able to resist.
Zhao Jundu glanced over the generals, and said slowly: "Are you worried that I will lose to my opponent?"
"This, of course not. It's just..." Zhao Junfang didn't know what to say, but he insisted on stopping Zhao Jundu. The Fourth Young Master Zhao is not only the future hope of Duke Cheng En's Mansion, but also the pillar of the entire Zhao Clan and even the future of the empire.
Zhao Jundu suddenly laughed, and said: "Could it be possible that you are invincible, so you dare not fight?"
The generals looked at each other, not knowing what to say, Zhao Jundu suddenly pointed at Qianye and said, "Qianye, follow me!"
Without even thinking about it, Qianye said, "Okay."
Song Zining next to him jumped up and said angrily, "You are crazy! How can Qianye be able to go to the battlefield now with such an injury?"
Zhao Jundu glanced at Song Zining and said, "You come too."
Song Zining was displeased, and said, "I have my own military plan in my chest, so I don't need you to tell me what to do! Besides, I, you and I are not the same way, this matter is difficult..."
Zhao Jundu suddenly appeared next to Song Zining, put his hands on his shoulders, and with a flash of purple in his eyes, he suppressed the second half of Song Zining's words, and said, "That's it."
Song Zining was furious and struggled desperately, but he was still weak, how could he be Zhao Jundu's opponent? Compared with the time when the Song Clan met back then, at this moment, Fourth Young Master Zhao's gestures no longer showed any fireworks, and there was no sign of sealing the town in all directions. Even many generals didn't realize that Zhao Jundu had moved all directions to seal the town.
No matter how hard Song Zining struggled, he couldn't get rid of Zhao Jundu's hand, nor could he say a word. Zhao Jundu didn't allow him to explain, so he just dragged on and left. Song Zining was even more furious. Zhao Jundu's actions were clearly intended to destroy his image of being romantic and calm, how could this be tolerated
But no matter whether he could bear it or not, in front of Zhao Jundu who was obviously not prepared to reason, he could only bear it.
Zhao Yuying suddenly stood up and said, "What about me?"
Zhao Jundu looked at her and said calmly: "You are resting here, coming here will also add to the chaos."
Zhao Yuying was not afraid of Zhao Jundu, she was furious: "Why is this old lady making trouble!? Well, you little four, explain it to me before you leave!"
However, Zhao Jundu had already stepped out of the room at this time, assisted Qianye, and dragged Song Zining away quietly, leaving only a purple fire behind him to seal the door.
Although Zhao Yuying was furious, her body was indeed weak, how could she break Zhao Jundu's blockade? Nature is firmly sealed behind the door, and they can only jump and threaten loudly, what is the use of this
In the blink of an eye, twilight fell, Zhao Jundu finished his formation, and on the distant horizon, a dark army had already appeared.
Seeing the black line coming like a tide, Zhao Jundu looked at Qianye and said, "Do you dare to fight?"
