There were four members participating in the meeting. Before Yu Lian arrived, the other three had been discussing for a long time.

Taihe used the map he carried with him to give the participants a platform to guide the world.

"In other words, you have no idea about the situation of other troops and their locations are right?"

Zuo Lan slowly groped his chin. According to the previous deployment, the Guards' large army is only a few days away from the King of Du, but none of the communication soldiers sent out have returned. There is also no information about other troops.

This is the biggest doubt. It seems that some king capital has been disconnected from the outside world.

At this moment, Yu Lian was late. He leaned on Xiang Du and sat down. Xiang Du whispered in a sad mood: "Is that beautiful military guard called Ke Yi?"

"That? Which?"

"The one in our hospital, the one who follows Captain Be, is the most beautiful one."

"It should be right, I don't care much about this. You should ask the artists. Where did you say it?"

“Lost contact.”

The two of them stopped their whispers, and Xiang Du was even more regretful, and he shouldn't have run out of the army.

The discussion continued, and it was impossible for them to discuss what resulted, and there was too little information at hand.

The only guess is that someone ambushed the correspondents, and the ambush must be the Atonement Army, which can also explain the lack of enemies garrisoned in the palace.

"I have a question."

Yu Lian raised his hand and said, "I have read some war reports, so there is a problem. In previous wars, the combat style of the Atonement Army was completely different from what we encountered this time. The Taihui people often sent them to charge at any cost.

And this time, they chose to defend the palace with no one to supervise the battle, which is strange. They did not attack, but kept holding on. I don’t think there is anything in the palace worth their eight days. I can’t figure out what reason they insisted on. There was no reinforcements, and if they insisted on it, they seemed to be delaying time."

This view is relatively novel. Zuo Lan savors it carefully and it seems that it is true. So why is this group of people delaying time?

Based on this assumption, the three people started to discuss it again. Xiang Du couldn't participate, and he didn't have so many great achievements in his mind.

About twenty minutes later, the discussion reached a deadlock, and several people pondered.

Xiang Du just didn't understand why this businessman was interested in such a thing? How could he pull a few people away and think about it? There was no need at all. The other two were very cooperative.

After thinking for a while, Taihe stretched out a finger and pointed it at the top of his head: "Is there another possibility that they are not trying to block out the news outside, but blocking the news inside the city."

“How to say it?”

"That's right. Before we arrived, we just planned to do reconnaissance, because the city must be full of enemy troops. But on the contrary, the defenders in the city were very small, which created a gap in information. We think about it, think about it, follow this idea."

After saying this, the other two people's ideas suddenly expanded.

Zuo Lan slapped his palm hard: "Yes, we all know the value of the royal capital. If there are enemies here, we will definitely send a large army to attack. And if there are not many defenders in the city and this information cannot be handed over to the follow-up troops, then the question is, where is the enemy who should have been stationed in the royal capital?"

Speaking of this, Taihe and Yu Lian slapped the table at the same time.

“In setting up an ambush!”

Before they finished speaking, a messenger rushed into the meeting site. The messenger swept the circle and looked at Taihe: "Taiwan platoon leader, in an emergency, your platoon gathers in front of the palace as soon as possible."

"We're the only one?"

"Everyone."

Three people who originally belonged to the same platoon suddenly stood up and Taihe asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

The messenger replied: "I don't know the details. I heard that there is a light in the east of the capital. I heard that there is a war there."

Several people in the venue looked at each other. Taihe picked up the hats on the table and rushed out, while Yu Lian quickly rolled up the map.

Xiang Du wanted to do something, but he didn't know what to do, so he definitely couldn't go back to his original unit. The old platoon leader kept silent all night.

After putting away the map, Yu Lian said goodbye politely and rushed to the door.

At the top of the tallest building in the royal capital, the top of the church, Nawu watched the lights from the east alternately reflect.

On the night when the advance troops took the capital, two battles broke out at the same time, one was a contest between the Guards and the Atonement Army in the east of the capital, and the other was a contest between the commander of the Luomi Taigong and the Taihui army.

These two battlefields appeared almost at the same time.

In the Central Army and within the General Command, Mr. Romita received bad news.

Forty minutes before hearing the first gunshot, the whole army went to bed at night.

The entire army's marching array was divided into four fronts: central army and front, back, left and right armies, which were spaced apart from each other and marched in an orderly manner according to the marching plan.

It was announced that everyone would rest, and the anxious correspondents broke into the commander-in-chief's camp.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief! The Seventh Army encountered a surprise attack, and the number of enemies was five times that of ours. They launched a sudden attack while our army was not yet firmly established, and the entire army was wiped out."

Suddenly hearing this news, Romitai was stunned. He ordered the Seventh Army to put down its baggage and set off lightly, and suggested the base before the army arrived.

This army was suddenly attacked as soon as it reached its designated location and the entire army was wiped out.

The commander-in-chief, who had fought for most of his life, responded quickly. He immediately said to several messengers under his command: "Let the four fronts enter a state of alert, let the reconnaissance team go to a further place to explore. If the enemy's movements are discovered, send a signal immediately."

A command was issued, and Mr. Romi was waiting in the command center. During this time, he asked the correspondents of the Seventh Army: "Are you back alone? Are you riding a horse, right?"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

"Okay, you go down and rest first."

Forty minutes later, a slight sound was heard in the command center, and then the commissar entered the camp.

"Commander-in-Chief! The front army was attacked!"

"How could it be so fast? What about the reconnaissance team? Didn't you see it? How many enemies are there?"

"The order has not been delivered, they attacked too suddenly, and the front army is not ready to fight. The number of enemies is unknown, and there are tens of thousands of sounds."

This is the worst news. An army of tens of thousands of people attacks the army that is resting, even if the number of people is several times different, it is enough.

The situation was critical, and Mr. Romi dared not think too much and issued an order quickly.

"The central army established positions on site! Ordered the left and right wings to establish defense! The rear army quickly reinforced!"

"clear!"

Due to distance, it takes between forty and sixty minutes to convey and reply to each command.

After another forty minutes.

"Report! The former army is being broken through!"

"The two wing troops are building positions!"

"The rear army has one hour to arrive."

"Commander-in-Chief! There are 50,000 enemies or even more!"

"Report! It is clear that a small force is interspersed between the two armies! Other aspects are unknown!"

This time, Mr. Romi did not rush to order, but waited for more battle reports to arrive. Perhaps the enemy had a backup plan and did not dare to fight in a hurry.

About an hour later, the shouts of killing in front of him became louder, and the messenger continued to send information.

"The Former Route Army was defeated! It is about to reach the range of our central army! Please give instructions!"

"Everyone is ready to fight, let our men come in, and block the enemy behind us."

"Commander-in-Chief, the enemy situation was not discovered on both wings. Should I support the Central Army?"

"Let them stand by on time, have the rear army arrived?"

"The road is slippery and does not reach the expected speed of travel, and it is half the distance."

"Let them stop and quickly arrange artillery positions and shoot indiscriminately at us."

"The rear army is full of old-style artillery, and the range is not enough."

"Then advance, advance to the range, leave a regiment to protect, and the rest of the people quickly join the central army."

"What should I do with that small force? They are constantly harassing us."

"Let them go and I'll deal with them later."

The killing shouts in front were getting closer and closer, and the dispersed front army fled in panic, and only a few ran into the central army.

The central army guarding the Luomi Taigong and the enemy attacking the attack officially received the fire, and the sky was covered with gunfire.
