From the first day she discovered the Tattoo Army, Sylvia stood on the top of the city tower for a long time every day, using radar to observe the enemy's movements. She found that the Tattoo Army had no movement other than loosely surrounding Pengcheng.
.
On the fourth day, the blond girl discovered that a large number of enemy troops were coming from the northeast! So she quickly reported to Wei Wushuang and the Chu army commander.
The commander-in-chief of the Chu army, Jing Yuan, immediately sent out flying reconnaissance monsters to investigate the situation, and ordered the Chu and Qi armies to enter a state of first-level combat readiness. Then he and the generals of the two armies came to the northeastern city wall.
Sylvia was surprised to see from the radar: the number of these enemy troops was very large. From yesterday evening to noon today, they kept popping up at the northeastern limit of the radar. The number actually exceeded 300,000, and
It’s still growing!
After the generals heard Sylvia's report, they were all shocked and puzzled. Because they knew that the Ting Kingdom only had two legions, the ninth and the eleventh, in Qilu and other places on the Zhongzhou Continent.
The Eighth Army Corps, which is a little further away, has a total number of only 150,000. Moreover, intelligence shows that the Ninth and Eleventh Army Corps are still stationed in the original Qi State and have not come to Chu State.
Therefore, the generals really couldn't figure out where these more than 300,000 enemy troops came from, so they couldn't help but begin to doubt whether Sylvia's investigation was accurate.
By midnight in the afternoon, the number of enemy troops on the radar had exceeded 400,000, but there was still no sign of stopping the increase! Several batches of flying reconnaissance monsters sent by the Chu army had not returned. It seemed that they must have been killed by the Tattoo army! So, the entire army
Pengcheng was enveloped in an atmosphere of extreme fear.
When it got dark, the number of tattooed troops finally stopped increasing. The blond girl saw the numbers on the radar showing that the number of enemy troops actually reached 590,000!
The generals of Chu and Qi held a military meeting overnight. After listening to Sylvia's report on the enemy's situation, everyone was silent for a long time.
Jing Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, frowned and was the first to speak, breaking the silence and saying, "What I find most surprising is: Where did this nearly 600,000-strong Tsing army come from?" Then he turned to Xier.
Via. Obviously, Jingyuan is very doubtful about the investigative ability of this beautiful blonde general.
Sylvia immediately understood what Jing Yuan was thinking, and just when she was about to explain to Jing Yuan, Qu Ao got in front of her and said, "I have talked with many soldiers of the Qi Army, and they all unanimously believe that General Xi's investigation is
Very reliable, please Jingshuai don’t doubt it!”
Sylvia took back the words she was about to blurt out and expressed her gratitude to Qu Ao with her eyes.
A Chu general named Rong Feigang, who looked majestic and wore a strange blue and white armor, said: "The Tattoo Army looks like it is going to be a long-term siege, but the strange thing is: they should know that Pengcheng has many soldiers and sufficient food.
But it’s a bit puzzling that he still intends to do it.”
Qu Ao said: "Furthermore, according to General Xi's investigation, the marching speed of this Taiyang army is much slower than usual, and the formation is also a bit strange."
Jing Yuan looked confused, turned to Wei Wushuang, and asked, "Shuai Wei, what is your opinion on this matter?"
Everyone looked at Wei Wushuang, only to find that his eyes were staring at the door of the meeting hall. He did not seem to hear Jingyuan's question, and the expression on his face seemed to be thinking about something rapidly.
Qu Ao and Sylvia were about to remind Wei Wushuang, but Wei Wushuang suddenly said loudly: "I understand: the Tattoo Army is not trying to besiege us, but is trying to capture Pengcheng quickly!"
Everyone looked at Wei Wushuang in confusion.
Rong Feigang, who was wearing blue and white armor, asked doubtfully: "Capture Pengcheng quickly? Then why did they move so slowly? Also, where did so many enemy troops come from?"
Wei Wushuang met everyone's gaze, with a sad look on his face, and then said in a heavy voice: "I think that most of the nearly 600,000 enemies discovered by Sylvia are not real tattoo troops.
, but slave soldiers!”
"Oh! That's it!" Qu Ao and a few other Qi and Chu army generals suddenly realized, but most people, including Jing Yuan and Sylvia, still didn't know what was going on and showed doubts in their eyes.
Wei Wushuang explained: "The Chu State has been fighting with the Tsing State for a long time, so there are very few residents in the border cities. However, the Qi State is not the same. There are people everywhere who are not familiar with war. This time the Tsing Army destroyed the Qi State and was able to force a large number of
The people of Qi State, as "slave soldiers", came to attack the towns of Chu State!"
The blond girl frowned and asked: "Let these Qi people attack the Chu army? How can we defeat it? How can the people be willing to die?"
Jingyuan said: "Since these people are forced to fight, their hearts must be unstable. By then we should be able to easily defeat them or even surrender them!"
Before Wei Wushuang could answer, Chu General Rong Fei just rushed to say: "Jingshuai, and this beautiful general, I have heard people say before: the tattoo army will capture all the people of the enemy country and their families, and kill the old, weak, women and children."
As hostages, young and middle-aged men are forced to attack the enemy... So it may not be difficult for us to defeat these slave soldiers, but it is impossible to recruit these people!"
After Rong Fei just explained, all the generals including Silvia and Jing Yuan suddenly realized that this army happened to come from the direction of the original Qi State.
Wei Wushuang's eyes flashed with a cold light and he said: "General Rong Feigang and I have the same view: although these Qi people are innocent, in the event of a war, we must kill them without mercy!"
Everyone present felt a chill, but they couldn't think of a reason to refute.
Sylvia also trembled all over, and then said with a pale face: "Although these slave soldiers are not strong in combat, there are too many of them! Moreover, can we kill them (her)?"
.
Let's push back the time to more than a month ago and talk about the origin of this tattoo army.
The easternmost section of the Tingchu border, where the Eighth Army of the Ting Kingdom is stationed.
Ayutai is the commander of the Eighth Army. He is thirty-nine years old. He has almost pure Hungarian-Mongolian blood. He is short and stocky, has broad shoulders, flat features, and is very ugly. Although his family has been in the northern part of the Tsing Kingdom.
After living for three generations, he and his tribe are still very proud of the barbaric and ferocious "wolf nature" traditional culture of the Huns and Mongolians, and look down upon the weak and wealthy people in the south.
The ancestors of Aoyutai are Hungarians and Mongolians for generations. These poor people on the grasslands are in awe of the power of nature, but have no mercy for humans. They believe that humans should, like other animals and plants, follow the natural law of the jungle. They finally
The animals they worship are the wolves on the grassland, because wild wolves are very similar to the Huns: they never give birth, they only love robbing, they are ferocious, heroic, collectivist, and possess superb war wisdom!
Ayutai has always been depressed that his legion is classified as a "second-class legion". He is looking forward to one day making great achievements and then applying to the country for some more sophisticated weapons and magical beasts to increase the combat power of the eighth legion.
To be promoted to the level of "Class A Legion". For this ideal that seemed not far away, he repeatedly requested to launch an attack on Chu State, but was rejected.
