Chapter 171 Mysterious Young Master
"Return to the general, the other party did not show his flag. I don't know what army, number of people, number of people..." The soldier hesitated.
"Say." Zhang Qing said calmly.
"The subordinates are not clear, they are boundless, at least 50,000 people."
"Fifty thousand people? How come there are so many people?" Xu Hu said in shock.
"Fifty thousand people, the East China Kingdom cannot have so many soldiers. It seems that Mr. Zhang's guess is correct. This is indeed a conspiracy. But I didn't expect that they would make arrangements in advance and wait for us to take the bait." Zhang Qing seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be talking to everyone.
"Okay, so what about 50,000 people? Our Han army is invincible. Even if we have 100,000 people, we are not afraid. Let's go up the city tower to take a look." Zhang Qing is worthy of being the general, so he calmed down first.
All he brought out were the elites of the Great Han Kingdom. He only lost less than fifty people to the entire East China Sea Kingdom, which shows how strong the combat power is, but now it seems that the enemy deliberately showed the enemy as weak.
However, if you can use the entire East China Sea Kingdom as bait, it is obvious that the power behind it must be very powerful, but Zhang Qing did not express these concerns to avoid affecting the morale of the army.
If you don’t do it well, this may be the biggest threat that the Han Dynasty has suffered since its founding.
Everyone was very quiet along the way and didn't say anything. When they came to the city tower and looked down, everyone, including Zhang Qing, couldn't help but take a breath.
The situation was even more serious than they thought, with more than 50,000 people at all. His strength was not comparable to that of a soldier. He had a stronger vision. After a rough calculation, there should be 80,000 people, which is not the key.
If they were just ordinary warriors of junior warriors, even if they were 80,000, they would have some confidence in winning, but the ones below were all elites, not much worse than their Qingtian Army. Perhaps the ones that were worse was that the Qingtian Army had three-talent formations and knew how to cooperate with the military formations.
However, the 10,000 Sky-Highing Army can fight up to about 30,000 people, even if the Wolf Cavalry and Tiger and Leopard Cavalry can fight up to 30,000 people, and there are still 20,000 people.
What's more, it can't be calculated like this. If you really fight like this, let alone win, even if you win, the elites he brought out will be lost. This is an irreversible loss for the Han Dynasty. Even if Zhang Qing committed suicide, he would have no way to apologize.
"General, why has the enemy not been moved yet? They have an absolute advantage and can attack the city. Our cavalry does not have much advantage in defending the city?" Peng Yue, the commander of the wolf cavalry, said in confusion.
"The enemy is afraid that the drunkard's intention is not to drink. If it is just to destroy us, it is easier to stick to the city and attack us from both sides. Now, we will give us the city and surround us in the East China Sea city."
"By the way, has the food and grass counted in the city been found? What's the situation?" Zhang Qing suddenly thought of something.
When they came out, they only brought four days of food and grass. Although it only took two days to capture the entire Donghai Kingdom, it means that they only had two days of food left, which was the most deadly thing.
No matter how strong an army is, unless it reaches the level of a Wu Doctor, it can absorb the energy of heaven and earth without eating and cannot starve to death. Obviously they cannot do it.
"General, the enemy deliberately gave us the city. This is a cage. We have searched the whole city, and the total food we collected is only enough for two days of food. This was found in the secret warehouses of some large mansions."
"Where is the population in the city?"
"When the general, except for ordinary people, all the aristocratic families have left. However, the East China Sea country is too poor, and the people probably don't have much food to store. Moreover, the military rules of our Han Dynasty cannot touch the people one by one, so we did not calculate this part."
Zhang Qing calculated silently in his mind that even if he reduced the food for four days, he would have to last for up to seven days. Unless he killed the mounts of the wolf cavalry and the tiger and leopard cavalry, he would not be able to continue to hold on at all.
"Where is the Lord of the East China Sea?"
"House arrest in the palace."
"Please come over." Zhang Qing said.
After a while, the general who had just left ran back hurriedly.
"The last death sentence is the emperor, and the Lord of the East China Sea suddenly disappeared mysteriously."
"It seems that everything is prepared. I will give you a demerit. The war is imminent. You should keep your useful body and use it on the battlefield."
"I thank General for not killing him, and finally he will tie the horse and wrap the body."
"Zhao Gongfeng, Tuoba Gongfeng, I would like to ask you two to help me test whether the enemy has a Wu Dufu-level master. It would be better if you can find out what kind of force the other party is." The two worshippers next to Zhang Qing Dynasty, who closed their eyes and rested, clasped their fists.
Since the Lord of the East China Sea can disappear under heavy guard, there must be a master to rescue him, and he must be a master of Wu Dun-level, otherwise it would be impossible to escape from Donghai City. Since it is useless to blame the people below.
Even if he is guarding himself, it is useless.
"General, don't need to be polite, let's go now." After that, the two left.
At night, the two of them flew secretly to the enemy camp and slowly approached the Central Military Camp tent.
The central army camp of the mysterious army is also very lively at this moment.
If Zhang Qing was here, he would have known the person who was talking at the moment. This was the Lord of the East China Sea himself. He held his fists and respectfully said to a masked man on the seat: "Mr. Envoy, I have led the Han army into Donghai City as you ordered. I don't know when we will destroy them and help me regain the Bronze Order."
"The Lord of the East China Sea does not need to worry. They are now in a turtle. And according to the information, they don't bring much food and grass at all. They only need to be besieged for a few days before they can win without a fight." The person who spoke was not the mysterious man, but another acquaintance of the Great Han Kingdom, Changsheng Taiwei of the Ziye Kingdom.
"Hmph, Changsheng, love is not all occupied by your Ziye Kingdom. Of course you don't feel sorry for it." The Lord of Donghai said very unhappy.
"Okay, don't argue. This loss from Donghai Kingdom will naturally make up for you after taking over the Han Kingdom. And you will also help you solve the three lord forces in the country at once. You should feel glad." The person who spoke was the Lord of Qingyang.
"The Han army in the city is just bait. The main target this time is Xu Boju, and the others are secondary. All the spoils that destroyed the Han Kingdom this time are yours. In addition, the young master will also provide you with a lot of high-level cultivation resources, as long as you do your best." The mask messenger finally spoke.
"Yes, yes, yes, it is our honor to be able to serve the messenger." Everyone said.
If Xu Boju were here, his eyes would definitely be glaring out. The dozen or so people present were either the king or the grand lieutenant of the dynasty, all of whom were decision makers of more than a dozen countries around the Han Dynasty. These people were so respectful to a masked man, which shows that the other party’s origin was absolutely unimaginable.
"It's not for me, it's for the young master." The mask messenger corrected.
