"What's the proof?" The adjutant next to him saw that General Cai was a little distracted, so he quickly asked. Now is not the time to panic. If Ping'an County is really lost, then from the provincial capital to Ping'an County, it can be said that
There is no danger to defend, it is all a vast plain, and the mobility of the suppressing army is very strong. It is estimated that they will come over this evening. Let alone the signing of the contract, it is up to us whether we can still be alive.
Liang said that the Suppression Army's actions were too fast for them to react.
"Don't we just have credentials? What kind of credentials do you need? Besides our own people, who else would come here to deliver news? It's not like our family members are all in the provincial capital, so we're all gone now.
.”
The person who came spread his hands and said, they didn't have any credentials at all, and they ran out in a hurry. They also had a letter from the local brigade commander, but they threw it away while running. If they had taken it,
If he were caught with this letter, he would definitely be dead, and now he would be a deserter at best.
General Cai looked at these people up and down, and coupled with the tone of their words, he basically believed 80% of them.
"Contact Dago Town immediately..."
General Cai suddenly remembered that there was a military stronghold thirty kilometers north of Ping'an County, and now he could only find them for information.
"There's no need to contact that place. When we came here last night, everyone there had already run away. If we guessed correctly, they should have been occupied by the suppressing army now. If you want to know the news, you should contact Dong
Taifu."
The soldier who delivered the message thought for a while and said, after all, we are still on the same boat, so don't waste that time contacting Dago Town.
Although General Cai's face was not very happy, this guy's words were really disrespectful. Can our army be defeated so quickly? But General Cai also knew that he might be telling the truth, so he asked his men to contact Dong Tai
If there is no news there yet, it means that the Suppression Army is less than 130 kilometers away from here.
"General..."
General Cai had just accepted this matter, and suddenly someone came over from the corner of the street. He knew this person. He was a staff member of his house. He was usually responsible for contacting foreigners. Looking at the look on his face now, he should
Something bad happened. Is there something wrong with the foreigners? The Suppression Army does not only do things in one way. They will attack you in all directions. The most terrible thing is that the foreigners are also afraid of the Suppression Army.
.
During the past few days of negotiations, General Cai was constantly testing to see what the bottom line of the foreigners was, and whether they dared to confront the government forces. Although the businessmen from the Morgan Empire spoke harshly, in fact, General Cai
I also got the answer. Before there is a real military operation, these people may pretend to be powerful for a while, but if the Suppression Army really comes, don't expect these people to listen to you. They may be able to run away better than you.
Faster.
"Is Mr. Charles impatient? You should go back and tell him that something small happened to me..."
General Cai said impatiently, but the staff member shook his head fiercely. He ran too fast just now, so he was speechless now. General Cai and others looked at this guy anxiously, wanting to go up.
Kick him and tell this guy to quickly say the rest.
"It's not about the level. Mr. Charles and the others didn't come at all. They just asked a clerk to come over and said that they couldn't sign a contract with us today because the Suppression Army issued a statement asking us to get the Suppression Army's certificate first.
If they don’t get approval, they will not sign a similar treaty with us, saying there is no guarantee of security.”
This guy also knew that everyone around him was waiting, so he quickly said the words completely regardless of his own panting. When he finished saying this, General Cai's face was already livid.
What do people from the Morgan Empire mean? You actually said this on my territory. Can't I guarantee your safety?
In normal times, he would have argued with these people for a while, but now he was no longer in the mood, because the telegraph operator ran out of the General's Mansion, and there should be news from the Dongtai Mansion.
"The Suppression Army arrived outside the city at 6:30 this morning. Our army has a total of more than 2,300 people, and the Suppression Army is 100,000 strong. We sincerely request General..."
The telegraph operator brought the telegram directly. It was a bit exaggerated. In fact, there were only more than 10,000 people outside the city. But if they didn't say it was more serious, how could the higher-ups send reinforcements to them? It's just that they mentioned this.
The situation is too serious. If there are 100,000 troops to suppress the captives, General Cai may not be able to gather the supporting troops even if he smashes his own bones.
One hundred thousand troops to suppress the captives...
The people present were a little scared. They had never been to a real battlefield. Even if they were on the battlefield, it would be a melee with the surrounding warlords. Everyone was basically at the same level, and their combat effectiveness was not very strong. If
If we fight against the suppressing army, we are really not satisfied with it, let alone one hundred thousand suppressing army. What kind of price is this? They can defeat hundreds of thousands of Rakshasa Empire troops in the north. Our people
Compared with the army of the Rakshasa Empire, they are like heaven and earth. They might as well stop resisting and surrender directly.
"What are you still doing? The troops outside the city were immediately ordered, so I went to Dongtai Mansion together."
General Cai knew that he could not be chaotic at this time, let alone show his cowardice. If he showed his cowardice, his men would run faster than him. Although he now knew that he was not his opponent, he had to lead his men to fight. If so,
If you don't go, it will only take half an hour at most for the people at the scene to spread the news.
In another half hour, even if he wanted to assemble the army, there would be less than a third left. Anyone with any brains would probably have to run away. Their sense of belonging to the army was not strong, and now they are strong.
The enemy is pressing the situation, and your head may be lost at any time. Who is willing to accompany you to fight here?
His subordinates reluctantly agreed and hurried to gather troops outside the city. General Cai hoped that the news would not spread so quickly, otherwise the military camp outside the city would be deserted...
