December 19, Lingxi City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The remnants of the Praetorian Guard, who had been working day and night, finally rushed back to Lingxi City, ready to meet the king.

As early as three days ago, the intelligence of the Praetorian Guard's ambush, and even the detailed battle report had been presented to Ouyang Shuo's case, which made Ouyang Shuo furious, and smashed the table on the spot, his face gloomy and terrifying.

The king was angry, and the heavens and the earth changed color.

Lingxi City was suddenly shrouded in a dark cloud, and everyone was cautious, for fear of provoking the king's anger. The black snake who hurried back almost apologized in front of the king.

Because of intelligence mistakes, the Praetorian Guards were ambushed, and even the entire Yunnan battle situation was shocked, and Black Snake and other intelligence leaders were really to blame.

The black snake stood outside the courtyard of the king for a day and a night, but he didn't see the king.

When he came, he only got a four-word entrustment: "Atonement for your sins!" ”

Hearing this, the black snake bowed deeply outside the courtyard, turned away, and disappeared into the night.

Also punished were Shanhaiwei Commander Shen Buharm and Military Intelligence Director Cobra. The three major intelligence chiefs were disgraced and embarrassed this time.

It is ironic that the intelligence network that the territory has spent a lot of money to build should drop its chain at a critical moment.

In order to quell the impact of the war in Dongchuan County, Ouyang Shuo had to urgently recruit Du Ruhui, Zhao Kuo, and Chen Gong to Lingxi City, and at the same time keep in touch with Bai Qi, Jia Xu, Shi Wansui, and others through letters.

The crowd worked for two days to adjust the battle plan that had been formulated earlier.

The news transmitted by the allies and the coalition forces to Tengchong City was finally learned by the Black Snake Guard at the first time.

In response to this dynamic, after Bai Qi proposed and reported to Ouyang Shuo for approval, an adjustment was made to the combat strategy of the Central Route Army and the Left Route Army.

The middle route army formed by Shi Wansui's army and Zhang Liao's army will advance slowly to maintain pressure on Tengchong City. At the same time, the Left Route Army under the command of Bai Qi stepped up its occupation of Mengding County.

More importantly, in response to the teleportation tactics that the Allies might adopt again, Bai Qi formulated a "black chess" plan to counter the teleportation tactics on the basis of the previous tactics.

At present, the entire military arrangement is carried out around the "black chess" plan. It is precisely because of this that Ouyang Shuo wants the Black Snake to atone for his sins, and he must ensure that the "Black Chess" plan can be implemented smoothly.

…………

Knowing that the Praetorian Guards had returned, Ouyang Shuo, who had been expressionless for the past few days, went out of the compound and rushed to the city gate to greet him.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing Ouyang Shuo, Huo Quzhi immediately dismounted, knelt on one knee, clenched his hands into fists, was speechless for a while, and said sadly: "The last general will be entrusted by the king, and please punish the king!" ”

Ouyang Shuo stepped forward to hug Huo Quai's illness and said, "The defeat in this battle is not the general's crime. ”

"Your Majesty, the last general will be guilty!"

Huo Quai's illness couldn't get over this hurdle, and his face was full of self-blame. He didn't expect the first defeat in his life to come so quickly and unprepared. This is really a big blow to the proud Huo Quzhi.

Ouyang Shuo resolutely helped Huo Quzhi up, "Let's get up first!" As he spoke, Ouyang Shuo looked up at the Praetorian Guards behind Huo Quai.

After running all the way, almost all the soldiers who broke through were hung with colors, and hunger, exhaustion, and pain, etc., constantly invaded the bodies of the soldiers, making them look very bad.

Even then, it was not possible to crush them.

What really made them anxious was the fear of reproach from the king. The Praetorian Guard is the sharpest sword in the king's hand, and it is the indelible glory of the territory.

And at this moment, it fell.

But any look of disappointment on the monarch was enough to make the soldiers ashamed to death.

If it weren't for rushing back to Lingxi City to resume their lives, some soldiers would have killed themselves halfway through and apologized for their crimes. Seeing the king looking over, the soldiers' eyes dodged, and some even lowered their heads, not daring to look at each other.

Ouyang Shuo saw it and looked sad. He noticed the anxiety and embarrassment in the eyes of the soldiers, and looked at the eyes that had lost their lustre, and his heart was like a pangu.

At this moment, the soldiers heard the unique, magnetic and infectious voice of the king.

"Boys, one defeat is not enough to crush the Praetorian Guard. Your bravery and fearlessness have always been in the eyes of Lone, worthy of the prestige and glory of the Praetorian Guard. ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, and a sergeant turned his head and looked at the king with the eyes of a child looking at his father.

"Raise your heads, children, puff up your chests, and look straight ahead. The lost glory can only be recovered on the battlefield; Hold on to your spears and continue to defend the honor of the Praetorian Guard. ”

More and more sergeants looked up and looked at the king in unison.

At this moment, they are like abandoned children, who suddenly find their way home, with complicated expressions.

"Sons, welcome home!"

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, like the sun shining, warmly shining into the hearts of each soldier who were about to be broken, baptizing their exhaustion and soothing their anxious hearts.

There was a faint sound of sobbing in the ranks, low, depressing, and relieved.

The men secretly wiped away their tears with their dirty sleeves, leaving a stain on the corner of their eyes, but the expression on their faces was extremely cheerful and relaxed.

A group of panicked warriors suddenly found their way forward again.

"Your Majesty!"

The Praetorian Guards fell to their knees, all of them looking excited, "Always follow you, Your Majesty!" The king's words made the soldiers feel that no matter how great the suffering is, it is worth it.

Praetorian Guard, never say never!

Bai Hua and the others who accompanied him looked at the scene in front of them with emotion. How did Di Chen and the others know what kind of spirit the rise of Shanhai City really relied on?

As long as this spirit is not extinguished, Shanhai City will never fall.

…………

That night, Ouyang Shuo did not give the Praetorian Guard soldiers a clean sweep.

He knew very well that the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard were a group of arrogant men, and they were unwilling to accept any gifts after losing the battle this time. Forcing a banquet will only make them more and more embarrassed.

Ouyang Shuo just instructed the quartermaster to send them supplies according to normal standards, without a trace of extra care. Of course, during the day, Ouyang Shuo deliberately went back to Shanhai City.

In the Wu Temple, Ouyang Shuo used a king-level general soul to resurrect the dead veteran Ma Teng. As soon as he walked out of the martial temple, Ma Teng's first request was to return to the team.

Ouyang Shuo was a little surprised when he saw it.

Looking at it this way, Huo Quzhi, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, has completely convinced the old general.

Despite this, Ouyang Shuo did not agree to Ma Teng's request.

After all, Ma Teng is old and has just experienced a death, so it is not appropriate to go to the battlefield again. Hearing the news of his father's death in battle, Ma Chao, who had already led his troops to Lingxi City, was in a hurry.

If it weren't for Ouyang Shuo to restrain him, Ma Chao would have led his troops to aid Dongchuan County a long time ago.

The second is also to let Ma Teng cooperate with the strategic arrangement of the territory.

Ouyang Shuo instructed Ma Teng to make frequent appearances in Shanhai City recently, and it was best to show a feeling of grief in order to confuse the enemy troops in Shanhai City.

Ma Teng was originally puzzled, but when he saw a scroll that Ouyang Shuo handed him to see, he suddenly realized.

"Don't worry, the general will cooperate well."

To be honest, dying once is indeed a little apprehensive for a veteran like Ma Teng. If you rush to the battlefield again, there is a high risk that you will end up with some kind of mental illness.

Moreover, Ma Teng did not want to be distracted by Ma Chao and others.

Ouyang Shuo saw it and nodded with satisfaction, this old general was still very reasonable.

When he left Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo took one person with him, and he was Lu Bu, who was still studying in the Army's Martial Arts Hall. Lü Bu will temporarily replace Ma Teng and command the First Division of the First Army of the Praetorian Guard.

************

On December 20, the military camp outside the city of Lingxi City.

At the Praetorian Guard garrison, 10,000 Praetorian Guard soldiers gathered early in the school field under the leadership of Huo Quai. Yesterday, the king had an explanation, and he wanted to surprise the soldiers.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, Ouyang Shuo took Lu Bu to the school on time.

"Your Majesty!"

Huo Qubing rushed over, he knew what the surprise was, so he was extremely excited.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and took out a scroll from the storage bag, which was the [Group Resurrection Scroll] he got when he ransacked Sky Wolf Island in Somalia.

[Name]: Mass Resurrection Scroll

Type: Special item

[Limited]: A one-time item, which can only be used by the player lord

[Attributes]: You can spend a certain amount of gold coins to resurrect the dead, and there is no upper limit to the number. If there are less than 10,000 people, each person consumes 10 gold coins; For every 10,000 increases in the upper limit, the cost of a single product increases by 10 gold.

[Note]: High-level generals and above, including historical generals, cannot be resurrected

Ouyang Shuo didn't expect to use this scroll so soon. The Praetorian Guard is the strongest legion in the territory, and the Iron Beast Division and the Mountain Barbarian Heavy Infantry Division are irreproducible existences.

In this way, it can be regarded as giving full play to the role of the scroll.

Ouyang Shuo unfolded the scroll, and a system prompt suddenly sounded in his ears.

"System Prompt: It has been detected that the player is not clothed and wants to use a special item [Group Resurrection Scroll], please specify the resurrection object!"

"The First Legion of the Praetorian Guard of Shanhai City."

"System Prompt: Resurrect Object Lock, Detecting ......"

"System prompt: The first legion of the Praetorian Guard of Shanhai City was detected outside Yongren City five days ago, and 45,728 people were killed, please select the number of resurrections!"

"Resurrect all." Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate.

"System prompt: To resurrect 45,728 people, it costs 1,286,400 gold coins, is it immediately resurrected?"

"Resurrect immediately!"

Not to mention more than a million gold coins, even if it is more, Ouyang Shuo will be resurrected.

"System prompt: Resurrection request confirmed, resurrect immediately!"

As soon as the words fell, with a "brush", the white light flashed in the open space of the school, which was extremely dazzling. The white light dissipated, and all the Praetorian Guard soldiers who died in the battle of Yongin Castle, except for the high-ranking generals, appeared.

Ouyang Shuo looked at these soldiers and said with relief: "Sons, welcome home!" ”
