Xingle City Lord's mansion!
At this time, several principal elders and foreign kings were sitting in the hall, and two generals were standing in the middle of the hall.
"General Wu and general Lu, what's the situation inside and outside the city now?" The elder asked.
"General Hui, after these days of inquiry, we can confirm that a large number of troops have indeed gathered in xinliao city. And according to the latest news, there are still some foreign dynasties adding troops to xinliao city." General Wu took the lead in saying.
"Can you hear their current strength?" The elder asked.
"At present, there are no less than 5 million troops in xinliao City, but it is estimated that it will not be less than 7 million if other foreign countries successfully increase troops." General Wu replied.
"These guys are really not afraid of death. Do you think they can stop us if they have more troops than us?" The second elder looked a little disdainful.
The five million of them are elite, which is not comparable to the uneven troops of the foreign court.
"You continue to inquire about the situation of xinliao city and report to me at any time!" The elder said to general Wu.
"Yes! My subordinates left first!" General Wu left the hall with a bow of his hand.
"General Lu, what's the situation in the city?" The elder set his eyes on general Lu again.
"General Hui, my subordinates have been investigating the whole city these days. At present, they have not found the spies of the Danqing alliance. I think they should have all withdrawn!" General Lu said.
He is the leader of the advance army who entered xingle city. Now after entering the city, he is responsible for Garrisoning the city and its security.
"They arranged such a large city defense array in Xingle City, but no one was stationed in the city. Isn't it unreasonable?" But the elder felt that this seemed unreasonable.
If they have no defenders in the city, what's the point of arranging such a large array?
"Elder, are they hiding somewhere, but we didn't find it?" Nanping foreign king said.
"Are you sure you have searched the whole city?" The elder nodded and asked general Wu again.
"We have sent a large number of people these days. Every family in the city has checked it. We really haven't found anyone from the Danqing alliance.
And I also asked. They can be sure that the Danqing Alliance Army who returned to xingle city a few months ago did not stay in the city, so they left xingle city directly and headed for xinliao city. " General Lu replied.
"It's impossible for ordinary people to arrange such a large moat. Nine times out of ten, the moat was made by the experts of the holy Dynasty.
However, no one can see such a large array. So the people who stay in the city are not necessarily the people of the Danqing alliance, but also the people of the holy pilgrimage. " Nanping foreign king continued.
"My subordinates also thought about it, but to my surprise, all the people in the city said they didn't see anyone setting up a moat in xingle city.
For the pilgrims, these people are still very impressed. Because many of them saw with their own eyes that the man in black broke the moat of xingle city.
If the pilgrims really set up a moat above Xingle City, they can't not know it, let alone see it completely. " General Lu explained.
"It's really puzzling. Can't the moat appear out of thin air?" Hearing this, these people present were even more incomprehensible.
They've seen this moat array before. Although it's generally powerful, how can they avoid everyone's eyes and ears if they want to arrange such a large moat array?
"Are you sure the people in the city are not lying?" The aurora asked reluctantly.
"If only a few people may lie, but there are so many people in the whole city, can't everyone lie? Especially most of the city are ordinary people. If someone really lies, it's impossible to deceive us without any flaws." General Lu said.
Every family they search will ask these questions. Most of them are not monks.
In the face of these monks, the whole city wants to lie without leaving a trace. It is obviously unreasonable. Someone will always show his feet.
But everyone's words are basically the same, so there can only be one possibility. What they say is true.
"It's really strange that these guys can arrange such a large moat without the knowledge of the whole city. It's really incredible!" The elder also frowned.
"Elder, is it possible that this is their trap?" The three elders said.
"What is the trap referred to by the three elders?" The elder doesn't quite understand.
"I mean, the reason why we are so confused and suspicious now is exactly the result they want. Let's think about it. Although they have arranged a moat, the moat itself is not strong except for its momentum.
Because they want to arrange a really powerful array without the knowledge of the people and gods in the whole city, which is obviously very difficult.
Moreover, the time and resources spent on arranging such a large array are huge, and they obviously do not intend to waste so much.
So they specially set up such a large array that seems strong but not strong. It looks full of momentum. At least let us think that this large array is a large array they use their energy to build, rather than a randomly arranged array. " The three elders speculated.
"But what's the point for them? It took so much effort to arrange such a moat that can't stop us?
Although this large array is not as terrible as expected, it is not simple, let alone when the whole xingle city has not been found. " Others wondered.
"Of course, this is meaningful. The purpose is to hold down our troops. Now we know that they have carefully arranged an array here. Do we always think there is an ambush in the city now?
But we can't find their people again. Can we rest assured in this xingle city? In this way, do you think we really dare to send all five million troops to attack xinliao city?
This is our retreat. If there is an ambush, they will block xingle city and cut off our back road as soon as we send troops. Isn't that bad? " The three elders said.
"The elder and the three elders seem to have some truth. Now we are really worried that there is an ambush in the city, but we can't find evidence.
In particular, the moat is not strong, but it is not weak. If it's really weak, maybe we won't take it seriously and kill five million troops directly. Naturally, they can't achieve their goal.
But now the city defense array is obviously carefully designed to confuse us and make us always feel that there is an ambush in the city, which makes us afraid to focus on xinliao City wholeheartedly. " The five elders also agreed.
"That's right. Didn't general Wu also say just now? They have assembled five million troops in xinliao City, and there are two million reinforcements on the way.
Now they use this moat to confuse us. If the Lord wants us to send troops now, we really don't dare to send out all the five million troops. We must leave some of them to garrison in xingle city!
If we leave one million troops stationed in Xingle City, we can only send out four million troops, but we have to face seven or eight million troops.
In this way, the military gap between us and the Danqing alliance has undoubtedly increased.
They are equivalent to twice as many troops as us, and they have an absolute advantage in military strength. Even if our five million troops are excellent soldiers, how much will we lose if we really put them together? " Five elders said.
"Do you think there is an ambush in this city?" The elder pondered for a moment and asked.
"So this is the result they want. It's true or false. We can't say whether there is an ambush in the city!
If there is no ambush, we may be fooled if there is an ambush! " Five elders said.
"In that case, we really have to leave some troops stationed in xingle city?" Said the elder.
"For the sake of safety, we may really have to do so. After all, this is our retreat and we can't ignore it."
"Now I may understand why we sent so many troops, but none of them can bring good news.
Let alone them. Now even we seem to be a little passive. " The elder suddenly realized the Tao.
In the past, he always scolded those guys as waste, but now they send troops themselves, but they are also facing helpless difficulties.
"It's still hateful to speak of this holy Dynasty. If they didn't collude with these foreign dynasties, otherwise, these foreign dynasties alone could not cause such a storm.
Even if they have more troops, we can attack. But now that the pilgrims are secretly helping them, we have to be timid. It's really annoying. " The fourth elder said angrily.
It is conceivable that if the moat of xingle city had not been assisted by the holy pilgrims, they would never have been arranged without the knowledge of the whole city.
This also tells them that once they go to war with the Danqing alliance, the holy pilgrimage may appear at any time, which is a problem that people have to worry about.
"If you want me to say, we should send troops before their reinforcements come. At least there are millions of troops less. We still have some advantages.
But the longer it takes, the worse it will be for us. " The second elder said impatiently.
"It's no problem to attack the Danqing alliance now, but judging from the moat, the holy pilgrimage really wants to help the Danqing alliance.
If we go to war like this, I'm afraid we will suffer the same loss! " Five elders said.
"Don't we still have the Lord? If the pilgrimage really sends troops, the Lord can't turn a blind eye, and our goal is only the Danqing alliance." The second elder said.
"Yes, I'll report the situation to the Lord. It's best to start the war early, otherwise it will be more and more unfavorable to us!" The elder then left the hall directly.
