Nearly a million lives were handed over to this group of mobs, which was simply killing their own army. The quality of Yanbei soldiers is so low that it is an unimaginable disaster for a group of people with no combat experience to command a large army to fight. If Yan Xun is here, he can still rely on his prestige to suppress, but how can he reverse all this? Does Yan Xun know about these situations in the army? If he knew, how could he just hand over the Beishuo portal to that surnamed Cao? And if you don't know...
Chu Qiao frowned helplessly, how could he not know? He is Yan Xun! But why did he go to Meilin without explaining anything, and let her go to Sunset Mountain to find Miss Yu? If she leaves Beishuo again, won't most of Yanbei's territory be handed over to others
Yan Xun, what are you thinking
These old fellows of the Great Brotherhood are braver than anyone else in quarreling, debating, making trouble, and fighting. They are unparalleled in the world in shouting slogans, and their ability to incite civil unrest is also top-notch in the world. But let them lead the battle and make a battle plan , Let them see through the enemy's shallow military defense, wouldn't that be overkill!
The fire in Chu Qiao's heart was raging, and she couldn't suppress it. The people sent out to inform Miss Yu had already gone seven times, and no one came back so far. If there is no one who can hold the scene at this time , then this battle, Yanbei will undoubtedly lose!
The evening sun shed light like blood, and the laughter and singing of the soldiers sounded outside, and there were even children's crisp and immature laughter. Chu Qiao doesn't know how long this singing can last, just like she doesn't know how long those people outside can live. If she has an army, even if it is a hundred people, she can immediately tie up those evil officers. But she didn't, she sent all the guards left by Yan Xun to find Miss Yu. Now she doesn't even have a guard to send a letter.
Do you want to sneak in tonight and kill all those old guys? This thought flashed through her mind, Chu Qiao frowned depressedly, if she had a submachine gun, she would consider the feasibility of this method.
As the sky gradually darkened, Chu Qiao stood up slowly, and the bright moonlight shone through the window on the ground. In the darkness, her back was thin and lonely, full of powerlessness and loneliness.
As soon as he walked out of the city guard's mansion, he saw a few soldiers running over in a panic, and the leader bumped into her body. Seeing her luxurious clothes, he suddenly woke up, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and apologized repeatedly.
These people used to be serfs, and they were not used to the current reforms in Yanbei. When they met military officers on the road, they always knelt down and kowtowed to pay their respects. Chu Qiao saw that these little soldiers were all child soldiers, the oldest one was only thirteen or fourteen years old, the youngest might not even be ten years old, and the whole person was not as tall as a gun. Each of them held a wooden stick with an iron bar inserted into it to act as a stabbing spear. If such a weapon was on the battlefield, it would not be able to resist the enemy for a round. Daxia's saber is the sharpest weapon in the world, it can easily pierce through all armor, and it can even easily cut off the so-called "stab guns" in the hands of these children.
It is more appropriate to say that they are soldiers, rather than a group of beggars, and they are an important force that forms Beishuo's million-strong army. Chu Qiao felt a deep weakness, as if she fell into the sea, her feet were entangled in seaweed, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't swim ashore.
Chu Qiao's brows were tightly frowned, and she felt that her heart seemed to be tightly held by others. After Yan Xun left, Cao Mengtong recruited soldiers, and all the refugees within a hundred miles gathered. Civil husband. All of a sudden, Beishuo became a devil-like purgatory. This group of officers of the Datong Association, like a beggar who had nothing before, suddenly became an emperor above ten thousand people. Their tyrannical behavior can almost make the nobles of Daxia We are ashamed. Chu Qiao appealed several times, but was rejected. After killing a few soldiers who bullied the people, those civilians who did not want to be enslaved either fled the city or hid in the staff headquarters. It's a sea of people.
This is the free regime in Yanbei; this is the leaders who have fought for Yanbei's independence for many years; these are the future and hope that the people of Yanbei passionately support!
Chu Qiao took a deep breath, the suffering people, they welcome their own destroyers with drums and gongs!
The woman clenched her fist tightly, as if she wanted to crush something. When Yan Xun came back, when he came back, she would definitely...
"My lord," one of the leading children called out timidly, "are you Master Chu of the General Staff Department?"
Chu Qiao lowered her head, and saw that the child was only eleven or twelve years old, his small arms were so thin that they could be broken if he tried hard, his face was pale, and he was malnourished at first glance, and only a pair of eyes were still shining with the brilliance of a child. Turning black and round. He was wearing a tattered gown and a big cotton jacket outside, which was so torn that the cotton wool was exposed.
"How do you know me?"
"There is only one female adult in the army!" The child soldier said happily, "Sir, we have all heard, you are a good adult!"
The children behind him immediately came forward and said in one voice, "My sister is in the staff department, and you saved her, sir! Do you know her, sir?"
"My mother is there too!"
"My lord, we watched you chop up that soldier the day before yesterday, your lord is really amazing!"
"That's right, my lord, teach us two tricks, we are about to go to the battlefield!"
"Yes, my lord, teach us how to go up and kill the enemy!"
Looking at the faces of these children, Chu Qiao suddenly felt that her heart seemed to stop working. She began to have some doubts, doubted her own beliefs, doubted her own value, doubted the correctness of her actions, and she even wanted to turn around and rush into the city Shoufu, complete the terrifying idea in the conference room just now. But after thinking about it, she just stood there, didn't move, didn't do anything, the light from the torch shone on her face, it was bright and blood red.
Her voice was low and depressed, and she said word by word in a deep voice: "When charging, don't run ahead."
Then, as if she couldn't bear it, she immediately turned around and walked away quickly, leaving behind a group of children who were staring at her back in a daze. The child soldiers scratched their heads strangely, looked at her back and wondered: Why did Master Chu say something different from what the officer said
As soon as she reached the corner of the long street, Chu Qiao stopped in her tracks. She really didn't have the courage to continue looking into the eyes of those children, let alone encourage them to work hard, encourage them to serve the country faithfully and win this battle. She thought she had already Hardened by the war, but she knew now that she was not enough.
"Lord Cao finally won such a victory, but you said at the meeting that it was because Da Xia deliberately showed weakness and paralyzed everyone's nerves. Naturally, he didn't want to believe you." A cold voice suddenly sounded beside his ears, Chu Qiao suddenly turned her head away, only to see Xue Zhiyuan leaning against a wall with his shoulders in his arms, squinting at her with an expression that seemed a bit gloating.
Chu Qiao is now full of disgust for these local military officers of the Great Brotherhood, snorted coldly, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Is Your Highness going to give up on us?" Just after taking a step, Xue Zhiyuan suddenly asked nonchalantly.
Chu Qiao stopped immediately, and turned her head slowly, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, "What did you say?"
"His Royal Highness and Mr. Wu are rare military leaders in Yanbei. They led the elite troops of the First Army to attack Meilin Pass, but left no one behind to defend Beishuo, allowing the main force of the Second Army to face each other head-on with the Xia Army. Consumption. A military expert like Miss Yu only sits in Lancheng and does not give back to Beishuo, while a military expert like Master Chu does not hold power, and the entire Beishuo city falls into a group of mobs who don't understand military. It's not because Master Chu didn't leave Beishuo, I really want to be sure that His Highness has decided to give up the Second Army."
In an instant, it was as if a bolt of lightning struck her mind. It wasn't that she hadn't thought about it, but she just didn't want to believe it.
Who is Cao Mengtong, what is the second army, what is the big peer, will Yan Xun not know? What is his intention to attack Meilin Pass at this time? Is it really necessary to attack the Xia army at Meilin Pass to prevent the Xia army from fighting on both sides, and detour to the west to attack the Northern Expedition army in a detour? Or do you want to spare time and let the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Second Army fight to the detriment of both sides
Otherwise, why would he hand over military power to Cao Mengtong? Why not leave Mr. Wu to sit in Beishuo? Why did you let yourself go to Blue City to take shelter of Miss Yu Yu? Why did none of the seven groups of people I sent out to find Miss Yu return
What is the reason here? Could it be that, as Xue Zhiyuan said, everything was arranged by Yan Xun? The purpose is to consume the main force of the second army and use Daxia's hand to stabilize his position in Yanbei
However, for such a purpose, is it really worthwhile to ignore millions of people and put Yanbei in danger? Can Yan Xun really do it
"However, even if His Highness is smart, Lord Cao is not a fool. In a month's time, even if the troops are consumed by crowd tactics, the hundreds of thousands of militiamen will definitely be able to withstand them. When His Highness returns, only the civilian army will be consumed. Forget it, the main force of the second army is not damaged at all, so your Highness's idea is not good."
"In our hometown, anyone who speculates about his chief for no reason will be dealt with by military law!" The girl raised her eyes and said in a cold voice.
Xue Zhiyuan was taken aback for a moment, and Chu Qiao said in a cold voice: "You don't have to provoke, even if Yanbei's internal situation is unstable, and the big peers will fight for power seriously, but His Highness will not bet on the entire Beishuo City for this consumption! Even if everything seems to be as you said, but I believe that he is definitely not a person who will use all means to fight for power. From a strategic point of view, His Highness's counterattack at Meilin Pass is a perfect sneak attack. There is no problem in tactics! The girl didn't reply, there must be some reasons we don't know. This battle is related to the life and death of the whole Yanbei. At that time, everyone will go to Huangquan Road. You have so much time, why not train new recruits, and save yourself from a miserable death in the future!"
Xue Zhiyuan frowned, and said coldly: "Since your lord is so confident, why did you send people to inform Miss Yu repeatedly? If it is true what your lord said, three days is enough to run back and forth from here to Lancheng, why is Miss Yu No one has been seen so far? If Miss Yu hadn't received the order from above, do you think she would sit idly by?"
Chu Qiao's heart sank, and she was about to argue when she suddenly heard a war horse approaching quickly. Everyone on the street gave way, and the rider shouted, "Master Chu! Where is Master Chu?"
"I'm here!" Seeing that person, Chu Qiao immediately showed joy, and called out on tiptoe.
