As soon as Tong Zhan said these words, Su Qian's expression was fine, but Suo Mu's expression changed drastically.
After all, he was the instigator of this round. If all of Darong's elite team could die here, his life would be saved.
But once someone escapes and leaks what is going on here, when Da Rong's army comes, he will be the first to be killed.
And I didn't expect that the one who escaped this time would be the most famous counselor, Liu Shengming.
When he returned to the army, Solmu could think that he might die without knowing how.
He looked at Su Qi'an, wanting to ask for help, but before Solmu could speak, Su Qi'an asked.
"Are you sure? Liu Shengming escaped?"
"Well, this person probably escaped. And according to the identified soldiers, this Liu Shengming is not only very resourceful, but he also seems to be proficient in the art of disguise."
"I think this person should have discovered the clues when he entered the city. Through his disguise, he escaped without noticing in the chaos just now."
"It's rare for me to see someone with such superb disguise skills."
"You are so proficient in the art of disguise, you have forgotten one person."
"Sir, could you be talking about..." Tong Zhan seemed to have thought of something, hesitated for a while, and then said.
"The boss of Dongzi Mountain."
Almost at the same time, Tong Zhan and Su Qi'an spoke at the same time.
Regarding this speculation, Su Qi'an had already made a guess in his mind. He had dealt with Liu Shengming on the Ningzhou battlefield and had some understanding of this person's tactics and strategies.
Some of Liu Shengming's actions allowed Su Qi'an to conclude that this person definitely had experience living in Great Liang.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to know Liang Bing so well during the battle, and this person is also proficient in the art of disguise.
There is no such thing as a coincidence in this world.
I am almost certain in my heart that this Liu Shengming is the mysterious master of the Dongzi Mountain Dragon.
Su Qi'an sentenced this man to death. Whether it was for himself or for the Ningzhou border army, Su Qi'an could not leave a mission that understood him so deeply.
Getting rid of him is Su Qian's most urgent matter at the moment.
After thinking for a while, Su Qi'an raised his head and said to Tong Zhan, "Give me the order and everyone, including the new Liang Yi army in training, will assemble."
Tong Zhan's face changed a little. He seemed to have guessed what Su Qian wanted to do, but he did not question it and obeyed unconditionally.
If you look carefully, you will find excitement flashing in the depths of Tong Zhan's eyes.
After a while, all the new troops in Taning City, together with the troops brought by Su Qi'an, gathered under the city lord's mansion.
A total of 15,000 people stood neatly and orderly on the street. At a glance, there was no end in sight.
Su Qian stood on the tower, looked at the people below, and said directly.
"Everyone, just now, a hundred-strong elite group of Da Rong's army attempted to capture Taning City in a sneak attack. You have also seen the result. No matter how many elites there are, once they set foot here, Taning City will be their tomb."
"Although this elite group has been eliminated, the crisis has not been resolved. One person escaped and went back. You don't need to tell me what he went back to do."
"Assembling the entire army has no other purpose than to kill all the 30,000 honorable soldiers wandering outside Tanin City. Do you have the courage?"
"Sir, if you don't say anything, just do it! Don't say 30,000, even 300,000, as long as I can breathe, I'll do it."
"That's right. These damn honorable soldiers have been tyrannizing over us for many years. If I didn't say anything, just kill them!"
"Yes, kill them!"
"..."
Overwhelming voices gathered, and an invisible momentum gathered.
Su Qi'an nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, in that case, the entire army will obey my order. In a quarter of an hour, the army will leave the city and destroy them!"
Within a quarter of an hour, the closed gates of this border town quickly opened, and in an instant, an army of more than 10,000 people came out.
Although most of them had no armor on them, only a piece of cloth armor, and the weapons in their hands were also various.
There were broadswords, halberds, bows and arrows, and even some farm tools.
There are a lot of people, but no matter how you look at it, they don't look like an army capable of fighting.
Su Qi'an knew the situation of the New Army, but he didn't have much time left.
Liu Shengming escaped. This was a very dangerous signal. Without even thinking about it, Liu Shengming would definitely return to the search force as quickly as possible.
Then he went straight to Taning City and wiped out Su Qi'an in one fell swoop. With Taning City's defense, let alone resisting an army of 30,000 people, even 3,000 were not enough.
Therefore, now, while Liu Shengming has not returned and the search army is still searching aimlessly, they launch a sneak attack and defeat the search army.
The strength of the two sides was one to two. Face to face and prepared, Su Qian's new army would probably fall into the tiger's mouth.
But war is not just a treat, you have to notify the other party and say hello.
War is cruel and bloody, fought with people and weapons, and fought with the strategies of both sides.
There are many examples of battles in which fewer people win more by relying on time-delayed surprise attacks.
Su Qi'an's fight this time is an adventure. He will lead a cavalry of 1,500 people to attack quickly to buy time for the follow-up troops.
Waiting for time, the follow-up troops followed up and surrounded and cut up the 30,000 troops. Even if they could not defeat the searching army, they still had to severely injure him.
Just then, Su Qi'an led a cavalry of 1,500 people to attack quickly and quickly approached the search army camp.
Liu Shengming, who had gone through a lot of hardships and a very embarrassing journey from Taning City, was like a pariah on the run, hurriedly and slowly finally returned to the search army camp.
Liu Shengming's miserable look shocked all Da Rong soldiers.
How could Liu Shengming, the famous counselor under Prince Kushu, become like this?
Liu Shengming was supported by the guards and was carried into the tent. Liu Shengming struggled, not even drinking water, and kept talking intermittently.
"Quick... send my order quickly, the entire army will assemble immediately, set off immediately, and wipe out Tanning City!"
Liu Shengming looked very excited, and the guards beside him were puzzled. In his opinion, even if the army was assembled, they would not be in such a hurry.
For a small Tanin City, a vanguard of 3,000 people is enough, so why go into a big fight, the guard kindly advised.
"Sir, there is no need to be so anxious. There is no need to assemble so many troops. Three thousand people are enough. Taning City will definitely be completely wiped out before tomorrow. Sir, you should rest well."
"Fuck you, you're lucky to have a rest, damn, we have to wait until tomorrow. Su Qi'an has to gather his troops and wipe us out, right?"
"Go quickly, I will kill you if you are a step too late."
Liu Shengming, who was in a weak body, seemed to be stimulated by something, and his body burst out with huge energy. The guard who slapped him had stars in his eyes, and he yelled curses.
This kind of gaffe from Liu Shengming was rare. Although the guard felt aggrieved, he had no choice but to do as he saw the angry Liu Shengming.
Just as the guard stepped out of the tent, suddenly, there was a sound of an arrow. It happened to be that it hit the guard directly in the chest.
The guard didn't even utter a cry and died on the spot.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Immediately afterwards, a rapid warning sound suddenly sounded in the big tent camp. All of a sudden, countless Da Rong soldiers rushed out of the big tent with weapons in each hand.
But what awaited them were countless arrows.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The arrows streaked through the darkness, like the scythe of death, constantly reaping the lives of everyone.
The arrows shot were mixed with rockets. The moment they hit the camp, there was an explosion, and for a while, flames shot into the sky, accompanied by countless wailing sounds.
A round of arrows was quickly fired, and with the help of the light from the sky, these Daerong soldiers were able to clearly see their attackers.
They are the Daliang cavalry. Although they are small in number, only a few thousand, they are very mobile.
In just a few minutes, the search army entered and exited the camp several times, catching everyone off guard.
Although the camp was filled with mourning, it was simply unrealistic to say that Daiei's 30,000-strong army was wiped out by a thousand cavalrymen.
The Daerong soldiers in the camp suffered heavy casualties, but the troops on the periphery suffered little loss.
Looking at the flames soaring into the sky from the main camp in the middle, I knew without even thinking about what was going on.
The tens of thousands of troops on the periphery began to quickly support the main camp.
With the support of tens of thousands of people from the periphery, the thousands of cavalry who had just barely appeared and fought fiercely finally suffered casualties.
They were surrounded by the search army layer by layer, like an iron barrel, and they were separated layer by layer and began to shrink the encirclement.
Su Qi'an and other thousand cavalrymen who had the upper hand just now were instantly at a disadvantage.
Liu Shengming, who was standing in the distance, couldn't help but laugh loudly when he saw this scene. Su Qi'an's surprise attack was a bit unexpected.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Su Qi'an knew something about him, so why didn't he?
He launched a surprise attack with more than a thousand cavalry, hoping to make a time difference, but unfortunately, he underestimated the strength of the search army.
When the 30,000-strong army came to their senses, it was the time for Su Qian and more than a thousand people to die.
Su Qi'an, who was besieged, led the cavalry and still attacked fiercely, with a posture that was completely life-threatening.
Looking at Liu Shengming in the distance, he was shocked. He didn't expect that Su Qi'an was so bloody.
It's a pity that in the bloody end, he has to die under his army.
As the encirclement became smaller and smaller, Su Qi'an was almost in despair. Suddenly, a low bugle sounded in the distance.
Then, on the outer edge of the outer army, in the dark distance, countless people suddenly appeared.
There are many figures and they look densely packed.
These people were wearing cloth armor and had a variety of weapons in their hands, but their faces were more ferocious than ordinary people's. Their eyes made them want to eat up Da Rong's army.
These people who appeared suddenly shocked the surrounding troops at first, but they quickly reacted.
The archers prepared and fired a volley directly at the rushing new army.
When the arrows passed by, a large number of people fell down one after another. I thought that these new troops, temporarily organized by slaves, would be frightened and retreat.
Who would have thought that these slaves in the eyes of Da Rong soldiers would be brave enough to rush forward at a faster speed.
