"He nd...what is this...how can it be three thousand people."
Wang Zhizhong touched his head and cursed, then turned to look at the messenger: "Hey... I said... is this what the Lord's order says?"
"You kid, don't listen to me... How can this tn have three thousand people?"
The soldier who ordered the order was also extremely wronged: "General, how could this be wrong? I can hear you clearly..."
"There are indeed three thousand people. They said we should attack and hold on. After the main force has ambushed the pursuers, we can all join together and go to Dongzhou."
"Damn it, this isn't right. Could it be that the information is wrong?" Wang Zhizhong muttered twice.
After thinking for a while, he immediately ordered: "Well... let's not fight for now. These are the only 20,000 people left. If we continue the fight, I will become a mere commander."
"Who is that... you?" He pointed at the messenger and said, "Go and find the trace of my lord quickly and tell him about the situation here. The information may be wrong."
"There are definitely not only three or four thousand enemies in the city. Please send reinforcements quickly..."
"Yes!" The messenger agreed, turned around and headed to the west to search.
At the same time, the city was also discussing this strange incident.
Nan Yanxi summoned the generals, Yang Yuxuan and the others, and began to analyze this curious incident.
Yang Yuxuan, who had been directing the battle, was the first to see the clues. She raised her hands to Nan Yanxi and said, "Husband, I think this is not quite right."
"The number of enemies attacking the city does not exceed 20,000 at most, and they are all cavalry. They have no siege equipment at all. They seem to have arrived in a hurry."
"I'm wondering... is this Tianxing some kind of conspiracy, deliberately leaving a cannon fodder to confuse us?"
"I have sent out a large number of scouts to find Xiang Tianxing's main force. I believe we will have results soon."
After listening to her story, Nan Yanxi nodded with satisfaction.
Then he began to analyze what Yang Yuxuan said...Xiang Tianxing's conspiracy...
Nan Yanxi pondered for a while and said slowly: "I remember...there were scouts reporting that Xiang Tianxing's main force was breaking out of camp and turning to the southwest."
"We were all still confused at that time, but before we could react, this group of enemy troops began to attack the city."
"The situation is urgent. We all thought that Xiang Tianxing deliberately made a retreat gesture and then sent this group of cavalry to raid."
"But now it seems that this group of cavalry really looks like a lone army... Otherwise, it would be meaningless for them to do this..."
"Could it be used to waste our bow and arrow ammunition? It's impossible, right?"
"It's true..." Yang Yuxuan nodded: "So I think again, maybe Xiang Tianxing's main force has really changed its route?"
"If you think so, then it will be easy to explain that this group of lone soldiers once again used the same suspicion to hold us back and the pursuers behind us."
"This way he can carry out his plan...what do you think, husband?"
After hearing this, all the generals nodded in agreement, and Nan Yanxi took two steps back and forth with her hands behind her back.
After coming to the map and observing it for a long time, I suddenly exclaimed: "It's broken... Could it be..."
Everyone was shocked when they saw this and asked: "What's wrong, Lord?"
Nan Yanxi anxiously ran to the other side of the map, pointed to a place on it and said anxiously: "Qingzhou... This old boy wants to go south to Qingzhou!"
"Qingzhou?" Yang Yuxuan was stunned when she heard this: "No...it's unlikely..."
"Qingzhou is a place without any danger. To the north is Zhongzhou, to the east is Yuzhou, and to the west is the former Nanzhao and now Nanzhou."
"And to the south is our Haizhou across the sea. The Haizhou Navy and Yuzhou Navy can land at any time."
"This place is obviously surrounded by enemies from both sides. How dare Xiang Tianxing go to Qingzhou with hundreds of thousands of remaining soldiers?"
Hearing this, Nan Yanxi nodded in agreement: "That's right Yu Xuan, what you said is good..."
"But now there is a fact before our eyes, that is... Qingzhou is only guarded by 20,000 old and weak people from Jingmo."
"As you just said, there is no danger to defend Qingzhou, so the 20,000 defenders are definitely no match for Xiang Tianxing's hundreds of thousands of troops."
"If he wants to defeat Jingmo and catch her to threaten us, then this is a no-brainer..."
"What your husband said makes sense, but..." Li Shuwan on the side suddenly interjected: "I am a bit confused..."
"Oh? Shuwan, please tell me quickly." Nan Yanxi quickly asked.
Li Shuwan nodded, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Look...first of all, if he leads his army away, then the Dongzhou garrison will be finished."
"Without internal support and external reinforcements, isn't it a dead place?"
"There is no danger to defend Qingzhou. He said he wanted to capture Sister Jingmo, but it is not that easy. Sister Jingmo leads the troops to fight for more than a day or two."
"Is she just standing there and letting him catch her? Based on my understanding of Sister Jingmo, her current fighting method is... fight if she can beat her, and run away if she can't beat her."
"Do you still think she will be easily captured alive by you like she was in Qinglian Mountain?"
"I'm afraid that as soon as Xiang Tianxing's army leaves, Sister Jingmo will run away with oil on her feet. Either go to Nanzhou, Yuzhou, or simply take a boat directly to Haizhou."
"Anyway, you won't blame her, and Sister Jingmo probably knows that you won't blame her..."
"Hmm...Sister Shuwan is right." Situ Yan also nodded.
"I also think that when Xiang Tianxing's army arrives, Sister Jingmo will definitely take the troops to the sea. After all, he can be excited at sea, and Xiang Tianxing's bunch of landlubbers can't do anything to him."
"You can't catch up even if you chase me. Sister Jingmo, don't you want to go wherever you want?"
Situ Yan pouted and chuckled, but Nan Yanxi was suddenly stunned when she heard this.
Staring at Situ Yan, he asked excitedly: "Yan'er...you...what did you just say?"
"Huh?" Situ Yan blinked, thinking he had said something wrong somewhere, and repeated carefully: "I... said Sister Jingmo might lead the troops to sea."
But Nan Yanxi shook her head when she heard this: "No, no... the next sentence, the next sentence..."
Situ Yan blinked, thought for a while, and said cautiously: "Uh... Xiang Tianxing and his gang are a bunch of landlubbers... Sister Jingmo can go wherever she wants, they can't catch up..."
"Pah!" Nan Yanxi slapped her thigh bitterly: "That's it...that's it..."
"Think about it, everyone, just like what these girls said just now, why is this old boy going to Qingzhou?"
"Forget the good land of Dongzhou and the hundreds of thousands of defenders, why go to Qingzhou, a place where there is no danger to defend and is surrounded by enemies on all sides?"
"Not to mention whether he can catch Jingmo or not, even if he does, we still have two questions about whether we will surrender. Why is he so bold to gamble?"
The more Nan Yanxi talked, the more excited she became, almost jumping up.
He pointed at the small coastline of Qingzhou and said, "Look here, everyone... This old boy wants to run away..."
