Puppet emperor?Summon three thousand Xuanjia troops at the beginning

Chapter 700 Calculate and be calculated
In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed.

At this moment, the two ninth-rank officials of the Guiyun Dynasty both looked a little gloomy.

"What's going on? Why hasn't any news come yet?!"

One of them roared.

After hearing his voice, everyone below fell silent, not daring to make any sound.

Fear of being targeted.

But at this moment they were speechless.

After all, the problem now is not with them, but with the defenders who had been in contact with them and suddenly lost contact.

The latest news they received was that the army of the Daqian Kingdom had most likely withdrawn its elite troops, and the remaining troops could not pose enough threat to their Guiyun Dynasty.

So they were urged to speed up the criminal detention, hoping to catch up as soon as possible.

But after that, the intelligence communication was inexplicably cut off.

This caused many people to feel uneasy.

After all, if there is no intelligence support, it means that something may have happened to those people. If not, how could the intelligence be interrupted?

But for this war, they have paid a huge price and mobilized a large number of manpower.

If they retreat at this time, it will be a huge loss for them, not to mention that if they miss this opportunity, when the competition in Daqian Kingdom is over, some troops will definitely return to the battlefield.

By that time, it would not be so easy for them to gain the upper hand again.

Another ninth rank or above thought for a moment, then spoke:
"We have already reached a point where we have to launch our attack. Although we don't know why the front line lost intelligence contact, we now have some intelligence support.

At least 30% of the generals of the Great Qian Kingdom have left, and there are no strong guys among the remaining troops.

Even if there are some characters we don't know much about, they won't be able to gain any benefits when facing the two of us.

Not to mention that this is the home ground of our Guiyun Dynasty. Even if the people of the Daqian Kingdom are well prepared, we may not fail.

In my opinion, our intelligence may have been intercepted.

After all, the strength of the Daqian Kingdom is still very strong, especially their cavalry. During the war during this period, I believe you have seen very clearly that it is definitely a terrifying army.

With powerful cavalry, its reconnaissance capabilities are definitely not bad."

After hearing this, the man above the ninth rank still looked unhappy, but he finally nodded.

He also agreed with this statement. After all, according to their current understanding, the Daqian Kingdom had indeed withdrawn many generals.

Although they had limited knowledge of the specific information about the generals who had withdrawn, even the number of people they had already known was enough to inflict a heavy blow to the Great Qian Kingdom.

Under such circumstances.

They simply didn't believe that the defenders on the front line could be wiped out so easily.

So in this situation, the only possibility is that the intelligence between them was cut off by the people of Daqian Kingdom.

This also means that the power of the Daqian Kingdom may be stronger than they imagined.

As a result, the early defenders did not have enough ability to input intelligence into them, and it is even very likely that they have been surrounded by the people of the Daqian Kingdom.

"It seems that we need to speed up the march, otherwise the army defending the city may be in danger."

The two looked at each other and immediately confirmed each other's thoughts.

Under the current circumstances, the only thing they can do is speed up and reach the front line as soon as possible.

Only in this way can the defenders be helped to intercept the Great Qian Kingdom.

Moreover, their purpose of coming here is not only to guard the city, but also to completely defeat the people of Daqian Kingdom.

Now they brought with them a full 500,000 elite troops.

These 500,000 troops are the strength in their hands.

What's more, they have no less than ten top third-rank national talents under their command.

It can be said that they have gathered all the strength they can muster.

This army is the strongest army of their Guiyun Dynasty.

Absolutely foolproof.

With this idea in mind, they did not hesitate at all and directly notified their troops to speed up the march.

In less than three days, they arrived near the front line.

As the news from the scouts they sent out came back, their expressions became increasingly gloomy.

"It seems that what we thought was indeed correct. The city has been surrounded. Although our intelligence personnel dare not get too close, it is enough to confirm that the current situation in the city must be very bad.

If this continues, I'm afraid the city will be lost in a few days."

At this moment, a seventh-rank scholar hesitated for a moment, then spoke:
"General, I've discovered some problems. According to the information sent back by the scouts, the two sides are engaged in combat.

But the intensity of the war does not seem that serious.

It was as if the Great Qian Kingdom was unaware of our arrival, but this was unlikely.

There are many smart and capable generals in the Great Qian Kingdom. Even if we cannot be sure that we will have resources, we should still have some guesses and be prepared.

What's more, they had blocked the city's external intelligence routes in advance.

So under this circumstance, I really wonder if there is a problem in the city, which has led to the current situation."

His words immediately made the faces of the top three national warriors in the entire battle turn ugly.

They didn't think about this problem at first.

However, after thinking about this problem, they immediately realized that if such a situation really occurred, it would mean that the city had been trapped, and the power of the Daqian Kingdom was stronger than they imagined.

At this time, if they attacked rashly, it would be very dangerous for them.

But at this moment, a person above the ninth rank looked at him coldly:
"General Han, are you scared?

Not to mention that the garrison commander sent by our Great Qian Kingdom this time is a ninth-rank national warrior. What's more, the city is full of elite troops, and we had also transmitted intelligence just a few days ago.

Although there are still some great generals in the Great Qian Kingdom, their strength is definitely not enough to easily capture the city.

So what if there are some hidden manpower?

You are encouraging others and destroying your own prestige. Aren't you a traitor to our Guiyun Dynasty?"

His words were so harsh that the seventh-rank scholar immediately shut his mouth and even knelt on the ground in a cold sweat.

This is a very serious accusation.

Especially since the person who was speaking was above the ninth rank and held a very high status in their Guiyun Dynasty.

If he is not careful, he may be sent to hell.

"I was just talking nonsense. I have absolutely no intention of betraying the Guiyun Dynasty."

An eighth-rank scholar stood up and said with a smile:

“General, I also know Lao Han, and he is definitely not that kind of person.

Besides, his family is all in Kyoto, so it is impossible for him to do such a thing.

After all, he just proposed a hypothesis. Although this hypothesis is indeed unlikely and has some impact on the morale of the Guiyun Dynasty, I hope that the two generals will not punish him excessively for his loyalty. "He then looked at the seventh-rank state scholar and said:
"You idiot, even if the people of Daqian are prepared, what can the current strength of Guiyun Dynasty do? With two ninth-rank and above people, plus so many of our third-rank national experts, can Daqian be able to resist with just the means?

Not to mention, how could the city be lost so easily? "

But the seventh-rank state scholar also reacted and said quickly:
"I am speaking nonsense.

Please do not blame me, Generals. I made an unintentional mistake. I did it for the sake of the long-term prosperity of the Guiyun Dynasty."

After hearing this, another person above the ninth rank who had been silent all this time finally spoke up:
"Okay, General Han is also doing this for our Guiyun Dynasty, so there is no need to say more.

And there is indeed nothing wrong with what General Han said. Although the possibility is extremely small, we still have to be on guard.

If that happens, we have to deal with it.”

They are certainly not fools.

Although they did not think of this possibility at first, after the other party raised this possibility, they immediately began to think about the solution.

But on the surface, they have to reprimand each other.

Because only in this way can the army maintain its momentum and prevent it from having some inexplicable and unnecessary worries.

However, they both already had some opinions in their minds.

“How about this, I will personally lead 100,000 men and advance from the flank. After the two sides start fighting, I will enter the battlefield based on the specific situation.

If the other side really has other people, we will not be caught off guard.

There is a high ground on the east side, which is perfect for cavalry attacks."

As he said this, he pointed to the sand table on the ground.

Another person above the ninth rank pondered for a moment and nodded.

"That way, there's no chance of failure."

The 500,000 troops they brought this time included 300,000 cavalry.

The remaining 200,000 infantrymen are all elite troops concentrated from the elite.

“In that case, I will personally lead 200,000 cavalry to charge, with 100,000 infantry following behind.

Once the battle begins, we must destroy all enemies within a short period of time, leaving no room for counterattack.

By then, the reinforcements in the city will surely soon open the city to fight against the Great Qian Kingdom.

By attacking from both sides, the enemy will surely be completely annihilated.

Even if something goes wrong, there are still 100,000 cavalry ready to attack at any time."

After a brief conversation, everyone had already decided on the next attack plan.

Then they sent a large number of strong men out as scouts to investigate the surrounding situation.

Even many of the third-rank national scholars participated in the scout mission.

The reason is very simple. They want to ensure that their information will not be leaked to the Great Qian Kingdom.

If the people of Daqian Kingdom got hold of this information, it would definitely pose a huge threat to them, which they could not accept in any way.

After a national scholar of the middle third rank personally served as a scout to scout the surrounding situation, he immediately wiped out the scouts from the surrounding Daqian Kingdom.

Although they knew that even so, it would be impossible to conceal the Daqian Kingdom’s army for long.

After all, as long as the scouts don't go back, they may not make any guesses.

But for them, this is enough.

It would only take them a few hours to launch an attack on the Great Qian Kingdom.

The final battle is at hand.

As they continued to advance towards the Great Qian Kingdom.

Pan Feng also confirmed from the scouts' situation that there were already people from the Guiyun Dynasty around.

He immediately laughed.

"None of the scouts on the east side were able to return. It seems that the enemy is quite powerful, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do it so cleanly."

His words immediately made everyone around him laugh.

It was a great loss for them that no scouts returned.

However, being able to judge the enemy's strength in this way is also helpful for them.

Then the other person sitting next to Pan Feng pointed at the map and said:
“Look, this north side is really a high ground.

Although most of the scouts from the north have returned, some are still missing.

The enemy is likely to send an army to this high ground. If some troops are killed from here at a critical moment in the war, it will have a significant impact on us. "

Hearing this, Pan Feng looked from there, and then couldn't help but nodded.

"Indeed."

He couldn't help but gasp.

And he looked at the other person with higher regard again.

As expected of a veteran general of their Daqian Kingdom, he is not only extremely powerful but also far surpasses him in terms of control over the war situation.

He couldn't help but admire it.

“Now that we have guessed the enemy’s moves, it’s time to prepare for this decisive battle.

The order was passed down, and two hours later, the entire army had eaten and drunk their fill and was ready for battle.

After this battle, there will be no obstacles for us to return to the Yun Dynasty!"

Two hours was the accurate estimate they made after controlling the distance.

According to the current situation, the opponent will appear on the battlefield in about three to four hours.

Unless the other party has no plans to attack today.

However, they believed that the people of Guiyun Dynasty also understood the principle of speed being of the essence in war.

Therefore, this war will almost certainly begin within four hours.

And they had already prepared all this.

In the blink of an eye.

Three hours passed slowly.

The entire tent was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

At this moment, a desolate horn sounded suddenly.

A man rushed into the big tent.

"Generals, a large number of cavalry are rushing towards us!"
