"How did you defend yourself? You actually allowed an army of three to four thousand barbarians to sneak into Jiming Pass. That is our rear area. Once barbarians break in and plunder, the country will be in jeopardy~"
In the Weiguo Central Army camp, Wei Donghou pointed at the generals and cursed loudly. The Weiguo generals in the camp were all silent and did not dare to reply.
"It took two days for the Dongyi barbarians to get the news. The scouts were really stupid and incompetent. Someone came, and the lone scout centurion was dragged out and chopped!"
"Here!"
After Wei Donghou became furious, he sat down with lingering fear.
Fortunately, the enemy's third-level Qi Practitioners and above were all under their noses. The Dongyi army that broke into Jiming Pass was unlikely to cause too much damage in a short period of time. If reinforcements could arrive in time, the consequences would not be too bad.
Thinking of this, Wei Donghou felt a little at ease, calmed down his mind, and asked his subordinates: "Where is General Feihu?"
Wu Zhu in the camp reported back: "Your Majesty, General Feihu set out yesterday. I think he will arrive at Jiming Pass before tomorrow afternoon. Well, your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. There are more than 700 defenders led by Kan Meng. In addition, the Emperor Zeng ordered Xi
Eight hundred guest troops from the country help with the defense, and the defense force of Jiming Pass is acceptable. It should be no problem to occupy the city and hold on for a few days."
When Wei Donghou heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He was so angry that he had forgotten that the emperor had sent a guest army to garrison Jiming Pass. Before, he only thought that the emperor wanted to take care of the descendants of Emperor Zixuan in order to avoid suspicion.
, now this free move happened to do Weiguo a huge favor.
It is not easy for 700 people to defend the city, but with more than 1,500 people, there is great hope. Let alone holding on, it should be easy to hold on for three or four days.
"The emperor really knows things like a god."
Wei Donghou felt relieved a lot and felt sincerely.
At this moment, a messenger hurriedly came to report outside the camp.
"Report! An urgent military report came from Jiming Pass, a great victory, a great victory at Jiming Pass!"
When Wei Donghou heard this, he was overjoyed. Just now he was worried about Cockcrow Pass, but he didn't expect that things would take a sudden turn and the good news would come.
"Could it be that General Feihu arrived just in time? Okay, that's great. Send us the news as soon as possible!"
Soon, the messenger entered the camp, poured out a roll of bamboo slips from the bamboo tube, and presented it to Wei Donghou.
Wei Donghou did not let the waiter take it, but stretched out his hand to take the bamboo slip, pulled the string on the bamboo slip, the bamboo slip spread out, and the good news came into view.
Hearing that it was a good news, Wei Donghou was naturally in a good mood, but after carefully reading the good news, a strange look appeared on his face.
The imaginary General Feihu arrived in time, and the massacre did not happen. The one who won the battle this time turned out to be the defenders of Jiming Pass.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the one who defeated the Dongyi barbarians was actually the Xi Kingdom army. With 800 troops, they went out of the city to fight head-on with three to four thousand Dongyi barbarians, and they still won?!
Killed two second-grade viscount-level qi-refiners, four first-grade baron-level qi-refiners, killed 1,800 enemies, captured 1,600, and left hundreds of people fleeing into the mountains and rivers...
This battle achievement is not small. The entire Zhuxia Dynasty has been entangled with the Dongyi tribes for several days, and the casualties on both sides can only exceed 10,000. Now the battle of Jiming Pass is a great victory, a great victory worthy of a big book!
How is this possible!
At the first moment, Wei Donghou was not overly excited, but he couldn't believe it. If there was a super strong person in Jiming Pass, he would have no doubt about the rich results of the battle, but there is no such strong person in Jiming Pass at the moment.
The most outrageous thing is that the Mingguan defenders suffered less than a hundred casualties!
This battle report was simply an insult to Wei Donghou's intelligence. Thinking of this, Wei Donghou's originally gentle face turned gloomy.
"This Kan Meng..."
Wei Donghou suddenly changed his face, which startled the generals in the camp. They all looked at each other, "What's going on, Your Majesty?" He was not happy but angry when the good news came. This is really contrary to common sense.
Wei Donghou felt a little embarrassed and threw the bamboo slips reporting the victory to everyone.
The generals circulated it to each other, and after reading it, they were all dumbfounded.
"Is it possible that there is a mistake? The military ministers of the Xi Kingdom know something about it. The armored soldiers are worth eight hundred, and the general leading the army is pretty good. The second-grade Qi Refiner looks quite extraordinary, and the deputy general is only a first-grade Qi Refiner.
Overall, the strength of this army is pretty good, but this record... is really a bit exaggerated."
"That's right, even if the Xiguo Army is an elite soldier who knows how to use formations, it will be difficult for them to have room to perform in the face of masters of Qi Refiners who are several times their own. The formations can suppress the Qi Refiners, but the Qi Refiners are also
The formation can be broken, but without the support of the formation, it will be difficult for eight hundred soldiers to win against an army of four thousand!"
"Yes, the victory report said that the Xiguo army suffered less than a hundred casualties. This is nonsense. It is amazing that they could win miserably. This victory report simply treats us like three-year-old children. Your Majesty, I suggest that Kan Meng be punished.
A crime of deceiving the emperor!"
...
The Weiguo ministers in the camp immediately got angry, and one by one they scolded Kan Meng for speaking nonsense and deceiving the emperor.
When the messenger saw that the king and the adults were so angry, his face suddenly turned pale. He trembled and thought for a long time, and then said: "The king is happy and angry. There are two secret messages at Cockcrow Pass. General Kan Meng ordered his subordinates to deliver them to the king in person. The king
,You see..."
Wei Donghou was really angry at first, but when he heard the ministers reprimanding Kan Meng, he became confused as to why Kan Meng lied. There was no intention of asking for credit for himself in this victory report, but he gave all the credit.
Xi Guojun, what is he planning?
When he heard that the messenger had another secret report, Wei Donghou immediately trembled and said: "It doesn't matter, there are loyal ministers of the country in the tent, just present them!"
The messenger hesitated for a while, but did not dare to disobey the king's order, so he carefully took out a piece of silk from his waist and presented it to Wei Donghou.
Wei Donghou immediately froze and took the silk technique to read it carefully. He wanted to see how the Xi army defeated the large number with less and achieved such a brilliant victory.
"Well, the weapon is unparalleled, the weapon of Xiguo..."
At first, Wei Donghou still looked careless, with a bit of disdain in his eyes, but as he looked at it, his pupils couldn't help but widen, a strange light burst out of his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but beat fast.
It stands to reason that as a prince respected by all the people, Wei Donghou would be so shocked by few things, but when he saw the iron tools described by Kan Meng, he lost his composure!
The ministers of defense in the camp looked at each other, curious in their hearts, but they did not dare to ask questions.
Wei Donghou stood up in a hurry, holding the silk book in his hand and pacing in the tent, with excitement and confusion in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"Your Majesty, may I ask what is going on?"
Looking at the curious eyes of all the ministers, Wei Donghou knew that the matter was too big to hide, so he sighed: "That's all, this matter is not trivial. We, the country of Wei, cannot take it, so we still have to report it to the emperor. No, it's
