Looking at the latest information sent by Chen Guan, Shang Ji's face looked a little better. The situation seems to be better than expected.

Probably due to certain limitations, the number of troops descending to the rear is not large, and so far, the total number of troops descending has just exceeded 800,000. Although due to the urgency of time, there must be some enemy troops who have not been counted, but no matter how many there are, it is impossible to exceed 1.5 million!

Moreover, I don't know if it was because of the restriction of arrival or what, these enemy forces were not concentrated in branches, but scattered in all corners of the seven major theaters, and the largest group found at present was only about 50,000 people.

Although this kind of deployment would initially put the Pingzhou army in a chaotic situation, it was impossible to pose a threat to the giant city with this scattered force division.

When the Pingzhou Army reacts and stabilizes its hands and feet, these forces behind enemy lines will fall into the dilemma of being divided and encircled and gradually eliminated.

Of course, there are also commendable aspects of these enemy forces, such as the average combat power is quite good. The soldiers are basically above the sixth order, with strong combat effectiveness, orders and prohibitions, and are well-equipped.

The same number of core corps of the main battle can barely fight, but the remaining troops in the rear can only rely on the superiority of their forces to deal with it.

However, knowing these contents, Shang Ji did not dare to be careless at all. You must know that these heavenly soldiers have their own "cholera" characteristics, if they are allowed to mess around in the rear, even if they are finally eliminated, the Pingzhou army will be greatly damaged.

While Shang Ji was pondering, Chen Guan whispered to the generals about the current situation.

When everyone heard this, they were furious, and they took the initiative to ask for battle, and they wanted to lead the troops back to destroy these "heavenly soldiers"!

"Report!"

A hurried voice interrupted everyone's invitation to fight, and they saw a junior colonel rushing towards him, with a small flag representing the highest level of emergency military intelligence hanging behind him.

Shang Ji couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he saw this, but on the surface, he asked casually, "What's the matter?" Hurry up! ”

"Report to the lord, according to the spies we sent around the dense fog, the dense fog has completely dissipated, and the mysterious army in the fog area has begun to move on a large scale, and there seem to be signs of sending troops. Please also prepare early! ”

"What about the size and strength of the enemy?"

"The Lord forgives me, the enemy seems to have extremely strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, and all the spies sent by our army to investigate have lost contact and cannot find out the details."

Shang Ji forcibly endured the irritability in his heart, and waved his hand to signal the captain to go down.

In previous battles, no matter what the target was fought, the Pingzhou Army had an advantage in intelligence and average combat strength, but this time it was completely reversed, and it could be said that it knew almost nothing about the enemy army, and the quality of the army was also backward in an all-round way.

The terrible status quo made Shang Ji a little bored.

But before Shang Ji could adjust, worse news came!

Chen Guan ran in in a panic again, his face was even more difficult to see, and he said to Shang Ji: "Lord, something happened again." The defenders of Dangyang City, a large city under the jurisdiction of the Xinyue Theater, acted recklessly and attacked without authorization, and were ambushed by the enemy, and the army out of the city had been destroyed, and only the town guards and dozens of guards survived. Dangyang City is also ...... It's fallen! ”

"Bang!"

Shang Ji couldn't hold back any longer, slapped the table hard, and shouted angrily: "Bastard! Ben will give orders repeatedly, be cautious, do not seek merit but seek no fault, and there are still people who do not listen to orders! ”

"Who is the defender of Dangyang City? After making such a big mistake, he still has the face to live in the world?! ”

Yang Cheng below broke out in a cold sweat, got up and said: "Lord Qiqi, when the name of the Yang City guard is Zhu Shou, it is...... but it is recommended by the last general. ”

"Zhu Shou did not listen to the military order, causing Dangyang City to fall into the hands of the enemy, and beheaded Zhu Shou to show the public, in order to set an example! Inform the whole army of Zhu Shou's incident and warn the world! Loyal and brave captain Yang Cheng, who knows no one well, deprives him of his name, demotes him to an ordinary captain, and is fined for one year and deducts all benefits! ”

After speaking, Shang Ji glanced at Yang Cheng and asked in a condensed voice, "Yang Cheng, can you admit punishment?" ”

"The subordinates admit the punishment and thank the lord for his magnanimity!"

Yang Cheng hurriedly received the punishment.

Waving his hand and motioning for Yang Cheng to get up, Shang Ji looked around at everyone and said coldly: "I hope everyone will remember Zhu Shou's lesson, I don't want a similar situation to happen next time!" ”

"The teachings of the Lord, we will take them to heart!"

Everyone's hearts tightened, and they immediately said in unison.

"General, the fact that Zhu Shou is to blame is his own fault, and General Yang Cheng has been punished for not knowing anyone. Now the top priority is how to deal with the current situation, why not expose the matter of Zhu Shou? ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, secretly wondering who was so bold as to dare to say such a thing at this moment. Subconsciously followed the sound to look up, and then lowered his head at a faster speed.

The one who spoke just now was the mother of Pingzhou, the commander of the Fengwu Legion, Liu!

"Ahem!"

Coughing lightly, Shang Ji didn't respond to the Liu family, and said directly: "Generals, can you offer a good way to break the current situation?" ”

Xi Zhicai took a deep breath and knew that it was time for his military advisor to appear.

Although Shang Ji didn't get angry just now, the coercion brought by just his face made people a little breathless.

Didn't you see that in addition to the Liu family, even Lilis, who was the most out of the past and was regarded by everyone as the "master mother reserve", didn't dare to make a sound?

Recalling the scene just now, Xi Zhicai also wondered a little, how did he behave so badly now? I dared to slap him in front of him!

With a sigh and throwing these messy thoughts out of his mind, Xi Zhicai arched his hand and said: "Lord Qiqi, although the enemy in the rear is fierce, but the subordinates dare to conclude that it is just a partial division that hides people's eyes and ears and disturbs the minds of our army, and the real threat is the mysterious royal city located in the central area!" ”

Shang Ji's face was expressionless, and he was noncommittal to Xi Zhicai's words.

Only listening to Xi Zhicai continued: "The enemy army is scattered in all directions, although it can disrupt the rear of our army on a large scale, but it is powerless to pose a threat to the core cities of our army. If it weren't for Zhu Shou's reckless disobedience to military orders, it would have been difficult for the enemy army to even conquer a city at the level of Ayutthaya.

When our army stabilizes its position, the seven theaters of war will take joint action to compress the enemy's living space little by little, fight steadily and steadily, and press forward step by step with absolute superiority in troops, and it will be easy to destroy the enemy army! ”

Although it didn't show it, Shang Ji had already adopted Xi Zhicai's statement. His judgment is completely consistent with that of Xi Zhicai.

Don't look at the arguing in the rear, but this is obviously a suspicious plan. The main force of the enemy army must still be in the royal city, and once the Shang Ji is in chaos, I am afraid that they will pour out of the nest and really pose a mortal threat to the Huaxia District.

"What does the military advisor mean that we don't care about the rear and concentrate on fighting a strong enemy?"

"The lord must not!"

Xi Zhicai waved his hand again and again and admonished: "My lord, although there are many of our troops in the rear, the generals of each theater of the seven major theaters are not subordinate to each other, and it is difficult to effectively clear out the enemy army. According to the information provided by Bai Xiansheng just now, although the enemy army is not numerous, its combat power is quite strong, and it has a strong ability to bewitch.

Once they are allowed to become bigger, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future. If we ignore it, I am afraid that this partial division will grow into a big problem for our army. The subordinates suggested that a capable general should be dispatched immediately to lead the seven major theaters of war, and carefully arrange to encircle and suppress the enemy army! ”

After speaking, Xi Zhicai added: "In addition, it is necessary to send an elite army as the core backbone of the encirclement and suppression troops." This army must not only be strong in combat effectiveness, but also have the characteristics of being highly mobile and not easily influenced and instigated! ”
