The development of the matter far exceeded Qi Mo's imagination. On that night, Qi Mu's thoughts of soldiers defecting not only did not ease, but intensified. Seeing that almost half of the 120,000 troops he had left were involved in it.
Even Qi Mo captured many defectors.【】
Under the torture of these fleeing soldiers, the answers they received were almost the same. They all said that they could not tolerate such a war with no chance of winning and did not want to lose their lives on the battlefield. So when the thirteen people got up, things gradually got out of control.
stand up.
At this time, Zhong Qingye didn't care about avoiding taboos. Hong Ying and Zi Ying soon reunited in Qi Mo's camp. Xi Zang and other generals guarded them closely, firstly to prevent unexpected situations from happening, and secondly because they were afraid of themselves.
The soldiers here will be infected by Qi Mu's fleeing soldiers, and they will also imagine defecting.
Qi Mo, Zhong Qingye, Hong Ying and Zi Ying were sitting in the military camp. They didn't know what attitude to take to face this incident. Zhong Qingye had already learned the basic situation from Qi Mo before, so he
What she doesn't understand is that since Qi Mu was able to contain the previous three defections, why did it develop so quickly this time? Is it just because today is New Year's Eve?
But she always felt that this explanation seemed too weak. Not only her, but the other three men also had the same idea. However, the intelligence reports coming back from the front were really there. They had fled to such a point.
It doesn't look like a show.
What happened? Could it be that Qi Mu really stopped it?
"There is definitely something wrong here!" Zhong Qingye slapped the table and repeated for the third time.
Red Eagle said coolly. "Madam, we also feel that something is not right, but where is the problem? We are just headless flies who can't tell the difference between east, west and north."
"..." Zhong Qingye responded, gritted his teeth, and turned to Qi Mo. "Then what is Qi Mu doing now? He has retreated to this point, doesn't he still want to find a way to contain it?"
"The strange thing is this." Ziying said calmly. "As far as I know, Qi Mu has tried his best to stop it, but it seems to have had the opposite effect. The situation of the retreat has become more and more serious. Roughly estimated, more than
The 60,000 people have spread towards the surrounding area of Lianyan Town. According to their escape route, it is simply a chaotic pattern and does not look like a planned escape."
Several people fell silent again. In fact, this kind of conversation was completely meaningless. Everyone felt the same. This kind of collapse was just like Qi Mu's sudden weakness a year and a half ago. Everyone felt something was wrong, but
I don't know what is wrong, and no one can find a suitable reason for the strangeness of this matter.
In the final analysis, the most fundamental reason why the four people in this tent felt strange was that they believed in Qi Mu's abilities. They had been fighting Qi Mu for six years in Jingyang City, and they all knew each other very well. They should trust Qi Mu.
Their ability is only to this extent, and they cannot accept it no matter what.
Seeing that the scene fell into repeated silence, Qi Mo, who had been silent for a long time, said: "Since we can't find a reason, we can only believe that this is the case. The order is passed and the three armies are under martial law and preparing for level three combat.
Exploring Qi Mu’s movements, if there is anything unusual, report it at any time!”
Red Eagle and Purple Eagle stood up at the same time, nodded and responded solemnly, "Yes!"
Qi Mo waved his hand, and the two of them walked out of the tent knowingly.
After the curtain was raised and lowered, Zhong Qingye frowned and looked at Qi Mo uneasily. "Do you think... things are really as simple as they appear?"
Qi Mo shook his head. "I don't know what's going on, but based on the current situation, we can't find anything wrong, so we can only believe that this is the fact, but..."
"It's just that if this is true and Qi Mu's soldiers defect on a large scale, this war will be over soon. Right?" Zhong Qingye added to his words and said slowly.
Qi Mo pursed his lips slightly, showed a light and warm smile, stretched out his hand to hug her into his arms, "The one who knows me is Qingye."
Under close observation, the development of the situation gradually became normalized. Around Haishi, the phenomenon of defections gradually stopped, and Qi Mu's army slowly returned to calm. A large-scale reorganization of the entire army was carried out with great fanfare, but it has shrunk.
There were many soldiers and horses, and Zhong Qingye didn't need Qi Mo's explanation to know how heavy Qi Mu's losses were this time.
From the beginning of the battle, there were 450,000 soldiers and horses, and they were replenished while fighting. There was a big reversal a year and a half ago. Qi Mu's army became weaker and weaker, from 200,000 to 150,000 a year and a half ago.
A few days ago, another 30,000 were allocated for a useless sneak attack, which resulted in the annihilation of the entire army.
Now Qi Mu's army actually only has 120,000 troops. Just tonight's defection has reduced it by four levels. He now only has about 70,000 troops. And Qi Mo's troops who are opposing him
, there are 280,000 on the front line alone. With such a gap, if Qi Moruo launches an attack, he may be able to annihilate them all in just a few rounds.
Things would turn out like this. Not only people like Zhong Qingye and Qi Mo, but even the 280,000 ordinary soldiers did not expect that they would reach this point, but Qi Mu still did not make any move.
What is the difference between behavior and seeking death?
Zhong Qingye asked Qi Mo if Qi Mu was defeated and fell into his hands, would he really kill his brother?
However, Qi Mo did not directly answer her question at all, but said that given Qi Mu's personality, he would commit suicide directly after the defeat, and there was no way he would become a prisoner himself.
Zhong Qingye refused to give up and only said what if, if Qi Mu really fell into his hands, would he kill his relatives?
Qi Mo's answer was that he must die.
Zhong Qingye was thinking at that time that if the objects were exchanged, Qi Mu would answer the same way.
However, how much of the grievances between brothers Qi Mo and Qi Mu are because of that girl Lian back then?
At midnight, the incident gradually calmed down. Qi Mo did not issue an order to lift the alert. He just urged Zhong Qingye to go to bed and rest. Zhong Qingye lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep until about three o'clock in the morning.
, she vaguely seemed to hear a rustling sound.
Zhong Qingye woke up immediately and quietly got out of bed and hid behind the screen. He happened to see Qi Mo dressed neatly and walking out of the tent with his back to her.
Zhong Qingye was confused, so he casually changed into a dark robe and followed quietly.
