The soldiers on the city wall were stunned when they heard that the other party turned out to be the scouts of Bakrat City. They had no idea that a few men like beggars could be the most elite scouts of Bakrat City.
"Prove your head. I narrowly escaped death and came out to report the news. I can still provide proof of identity. There is a crisis in Bakrat City. Please ask me to see General Everard quickly, otherwise the military situation will be delayed. Be careful about your head."
After looking at the other party, they actually asked for identification. Several scouts immediately became angry. It was God's fault that he was able to escape. As for the identity documents that had been taken away a long time ago, how could he leave them with them?
"Wait, I'll report to the general right away."
Hearing that there was a crisis in Bakrat City, the soldiers on the city wall did not dare to neglect and immediately sent someone to report to Everard.
"What?
Bring someone to see me immediately, no, I will go there myself."
After receiving the report from the people below, Everard did not dare to neglect, and went directly out of the city with his personal guards, and went outside the city to meet the scouts who had escaped from Bakrat.
"Hermann meets with General Everard."
When the scout saw Everard, he knelt down on one knee and saluted him.
"It turns out to be Herman. Get up. What happened to the prince?"
No one else knew Herman, but Everard did, so he caught him directly and asked about Bakrat.
"General Everard, hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops have surrounded Bakrat. Now Bakrat is in danger. I hope the general will send troops immediately to rescue His Majesty the Prince."
Herman directly told Bakrat's situation, hoping that Everard could send troops to rescue him as quickly as possible.
"Let's talk about it first in the city."
Hearing that Bakrat was under siege, Everard couldn't help but frowned, but now was not the time to panic, so he immediately turned around and led Herman and others into the city.
After entering the city, Everard first arranged for people to dress up and prepare meals for Herman and others, and then immediately summoned the generals from various ministries to discuss what should be done next.
Soon all the generals gathered in Bulkert, including Alencourt, the commander of the Kelan Army, and Harketet, the mercenary leader under Baqi Mu.
"Everard, what happened to summon us here?"
Alencott glanced at Everard, who was sitting in the seat, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Alenkot, I just got the news that the Chinese troops have bypassed the Amu Darya defense line. Hundreds of thousands of troops have now besieged Bakrat. I called everyone here just to discuss it with you.
, how to rescue His Majesty the Prince."
After looking at everyone, Everard directly told Bakrat's information.
“Bakrat is under siege?
Is this true?"
Hearing Everard's words, Aroncott's brows directly knitted. You must know that their biggest task in defending here is to resist the Chinese army. If Bakrat is captured by the enemy, then their defense is in
There is no meaning at all here.
"This news was brought by Herman, the scout of Governor Bakrat's guard. If you don't believe it, you can call him over and ask."
Everard had nothing to hide and directly told Herman's situation.
"If that's the case, the information should be true."
Alencott glanced at Everard. Since the news came from a scout of the Governor's Guard, it couldn't be true.
"So what we should do now is not to doubt the authenticity of the intelligence, but to think about how to keep Bakrat."
Harkete also spoke at this time. He didn't care about anything else right now, he only cared about his boss Ba Qimu. After all, he was the one who provided him with food and clothing, so nothing could go wrong.
"Of course I know this, but there are millions of Chinese troops on the other side of the river, so how can we rescue Bakrat?
If the defense line here collapses and the Chinese army crosses the river, the province of Daxia will surely fall."
Everard naturally knew the importance of Bakrat. There were hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops in Bakrat. He had to mobilize his entire army to rescue him. However, there were millions of Chinese troops outside the river bank defense line. If he evacuated,
If the enemy is allowed to cross the river, it will be difficult for Daxia to defend itself.
"Bakrat is very important. It is the center of the Bactria Province. It is the heart for people. If Bakrat falls because we do not rescue it, then the enemy will inevitably attack the Amu Darya defense line from the direction of Bakrat. By then, China
People are attacking from behind, can we resist each other?"
Alencourt frowned and looked at Everard. He knew the importance of the Amu Darya River, but compared to the Amu Darya defense line, Bakrat was more important, and there was absolutely no room for failure here.
"But, what if we can save Bakrat?"
Although Alencourt was right, Everard did not want to give up the Amu Darya defense line.
"General Everard, I am now more and more suspicious of the Chinese army on the other side of the river. After all, the enemy has hundreds of thousands of troops appearing in Bakrat. How many troops does the opponent have?
Could it be that there is an enemy ambush on the river bank, deliberately making it look like a large army is pressing down on the border, so that our army can be stationed on the Amu Darya defense line, while the other party's real target is Bakrat?"
Harket knows what the other party is worried about, but the situation is now like this. They all know how many soldiers and horses Bakrat has. If they don't rescue it, sooner or later it will fall into the hands of the Chinese.
"Evrard, the current strength of the Bactria Province is simply unable to cope with the situation of fighting on two fronts. We can only defend one place. Either the army stands still and defends the Amu Darya River defense line and abandons Bakrat, or abandons Amu Darya now.
River defense line, try your best to rescue Bakrat, choose one of the two, take your pick."
Alencott also knows the current situation, but they only have such a small number of people, and the Daxia Province is so powerful. Facing the overwhelming power of the Chinese Empire, it is simply too difficult for one province to deal with it, so
They can only choose one of the two.
"The Amu Darya defense line is important, but His Majesty the Prince is even more important. Then gather troops and prepare to abandon the Amu Darya defense line and return to support Bakrat."
Since this is the situation now, Everard also knows what to do best, so he directly orders the soldiers on the Amu Darya defense line to prepare to withdraw their troops and assemble to rescue Bakrat.
"Evrard, it is okay to return to Bakrat with a large army, but we cannot completely abandon this place."
Hearing that Everard decided to rescue the entire army, Alencourt was relieved, but since he had to leave, he had to do some work.
"How to say?"
Everard nodded to Alencott and asked him what he thought.
"Since the enemy can set up a cover-up on the Amu Darya line of defense, why can't we follow suit?
After the army withdrew, 10,000 to 20,000 people were left behind to continue to build momentum on the Amu Darya defense line, pretending that the army was still there, which could confuse the enemy to some extent, making them afraid to send troops easily, and also buying us some time."
A flash of light flashed in Alencott's eyes. Since the Chinese can confuse themselves in this way, why can't they retaliate in the same way and confuse the other party as well?
"Okay, I'll do it as you said. Leave fifteen thousand soldiers and horses to defend between the cities. We must build up a strong momentum and don't let the other side see any flaws."
Alencourt's strategy is very good. If he can really confuse the opponent for a period of time, he can seize the time to rescue Bakrat. As long as he runs fast and fights fast, he can save the Chinese people before they can react.
Return to the Amu Darya defense line again to resist the Chinese army.
"yes."
Alencott nodded and immediately went to arrange for troops to be stationed. At the same time, the army gathered, ready to support Bakrat at any time.
The 170,000-strong army was assembled. The main army, including the Mengshan Army, Kelan Army, and Baqimu's mercenaries and escorts, were all present. They abandoned the Amu Darya defense line and began to move in the direction of Bakrat.
"The enemy has left the city. Go and report the news to His Majesty immediately."
Although Alencourt wanted to retaliate by getting someone to show off his power to confuse Yuan Shu, what they didn't know was that Yuan Shu had already sent people to sneak to the other side of the Amu Darya River to monitor their situation at all times.
"promise."
Soon a scout jumped into the water and began to swim across the Amu Darya River to report the news to Yuan Shu.
The scout swam across the Amu Darya River quickly. After crossing the Amu Darya River, the scout was quickly picked up by soldiers and horses on the other side of the river, leading them to rush towards Yuan Shu's camp.
"Your Majesty, the scouts from across the river are back."
Tian Feng came outside Yuan Shu's tent and reported the news to Yuan Shu inside.
"Bring someone here."
After hearing Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shu directly pushed away Queen Jingjue in his arms, and the latter turned around and entered the inner tent.
"His Majesty."
"His Majesty."
Tian Feng led his scouts directly into the tent, and then both of them saluted Yuan Shu.
"Everyone, get up."
Yuan Shu glanced at both sides and asked them to stand up.
"Tell me, what's the problem with the Amu Darya defense line? Is there anything unusual there?"
Yuan Shu stared at the scout kneeling on the ground and directly asked about the situation of the Amu Darya defense line.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there has indeed been a change in the Amu Darya defense line. The enemy has assembled hundreds of thousands of troops and has been advancing in the direction of Bakrat. Now the entire Amu Darya defense line has fallen into an absolute state of emptiness."
The scout directly told the situation about the Amu Darya River. After speaking, he lowered his head again, not daring to look directly at Yuan Shu's holy face.
"Haha, it seems that the other party still can't hold it back."
Hearing what the scout said, Yuan Shu couldn't help but smile slightly, and a light flashed in his eyes.
"You go down."
Tian Feng nodded, and the scout immediately saluted and then walked backwards out of the tent. Only Yuan Shu and Tian Feng were left inside.
"Yuan Hao, should we take action?"
Yuan Shu glanced at Tian Feng. Now that the enemy had been mobilized and the Amu Darya River was useless to him, it was time to start attacking.
