After receiving the news, Xueyue Yingxiang felt as if he was struck by thunder.
After coming back to his senses, he stood blankly, not even thinking about cursing his mother.
He could hear the sounds of fighting from all directions, as if he had already seen the end of his road.
The elders and military advisors on the watchtower were also anxious, arguing and trying to find a way for Blood Moon to survive.
But as soon as they proposed a plan, it was quickly rejected by others.
Blood Moon Yingxiang ignored these people.
His eyes fell on Enping, the drum-holding elder who had watched him grow up since childhood.
He was the only one on the entire watchtower who did not panic, but sat there thoughtfully.
Xueyue Yingxiang's heart skipped a beat, and he walked over with longing, "Uncle Enping, is there anything you can do?"
Enping stood up calmly and looked towards the east with twinkling eyes.
He did not answer directly, but asked with a strange expression: "Yingxiang, do you think Angel's actions are too coincidental?"
Seeing that Yun Chui's soldiers were about to be killed right before his eyes, Blood Moon Eagle was extremely anxious.
But at this time, he could only ask patiently: "I wonder what coincidence Uncle Enping is talking about?"
"First," Enping raised a finger, "our original intention to attack the city was to prepare a false attack and then take the opportunity to retreat to the grassland. At that time, Kang Ansheng came to ask about it, and after returning, they also decided to use the main force to attack the city with us. .”
Blood Moon Yingxiang nodded.
He knew this, but he didn't think much about it at the time.
"Second," Enping tapped the Yangguan Ancient Road crossing on the map.
"The terrain of the Yangguan Ancient Road is difficult to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the Yanhui Army plus Xia Bang totaled 100,000 people, they were defeated in one night, and they could even go directly to Peishi City the next day."
"Isn't this too weird?"
The military advisors and elders around him couldn't come up with a rescue method, so they became quiet at this time.
After hearing what Enping said, everyone nodded, "It's really unbelievable."
They pointed to the brightly lit Peishi City in the north, "The terrain around this dilapidated city is easy for the army to attack. But after spending so much effort, we failed to capture it."
Not to mention the Yangguan Ancient Road, a poor place where one man is the gate and no one can open it.
Xueyue Yingxiang frowned, he reacted quickly.
"Uncle Enping, are you saying that Angel himself let people pass on the Yangguan Ancient Road?"
"Definitely." A military advisor slapped the table, "What the hell, other than that, I really can't imagine how the men and horses in the Yangguan Ancient Road were able to get here so quickly."
Enping did not answer, but raised a third finger.
"Third, everyone must know the reason why the clan leader returned to the clan."
"I know." A bunch of people nodded.
Someone set fire to Qian'an grassland on a large scale, causing a grassland fire that burned several grasslands in Blood Moon and countless cattle and sheep.
They even later destroyed the Changyang tribe that was affiliated with them.
According to the information currently known, it should be the work of Angel people.
"Uncle Enping," Xue Yue Yingxiang almost jumped up, "are you saying that the Angel people are already ready to kill us, Xue Yue, and are even willing to collude with Yun Chui people?"
"It's possible." En nodded calmly.
Some people lamented: "Why did they do this? Although we have been blaming each other and having friction, it was just because the war was not going well. In the end, we are all from Xiliang."
"It's easy to understand." Enping's face was full of coldness, "We previously wanted to withdraw to the grassland on the grounds that we couldn't fight in the front and there was insufficient food and fodder in the rear."
"Angel is much more ruthless than us."
"Just imagine, everyone, if we, Blood Moon, were wiped out in this battle, but Kang Ansheng could successfully escape back to the grassland with his troops. Will the royal court still blame them?"
There was silence all around, and everyone's faces were beating wildly.
Killing two birds with one stone.
Not only can he destroy the Blood Moon People, but he can also avoid the pressure from the royal court...
Report!
At this time, some soldiers hurried over, "Young Patriarch, the main force of the Angel tribe is evacuating northward around the Stone City."
Xueyue Yingxiang took a few steps to the fence and shouted loudly: "Did Yunchui people stop me?"
The sound was so loud that even the soldiers who were delivering the order were startled.
"Back to the Young Patriarch, although Yun Chuiren hastily set up a poor line of defense, he has no real intention to stop it."
"What about the Angels? Did they take the opportunity to launch an attack?"
Xiao Bing shook his head, "No! The two sides seem to have formed some kind of tacit understanding, each going his own way and not interfering with each other."
boom!
"Good to you Kang Ansheng, good to you Angel!"
Xue Yue Yingxiang slapped the table hard, gritted his teeth and looked towards the east.
"As a wealthy person from Xiliang, you actually dare to collude with the Yunchui people to kill the people of the grassland for your own selfish interests. When I, Blood Moon Eagle Soaring, return to the grassland, King Bingming, I will definitely kill you..."
As he talked, Xue Yue Yingxiang couldn't help but feel discouraged.
Once Angel in the east leaves, Blood Moon will be completely surrounded, with no hope of escaping.
"Young Patriarch," one of the elders was very calm, or he didn't want to believe it.
"From midnight last night to now, the fighting on the Eastern Front has been fierce. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. It doesn't look like it's a show."
snort!
Someone snorted coldly.
"No matter how heavy the casualties are, so what. But the ones who died were not Angel people."
Others nodded.
Angel had done the same as Blood Moon before, using the excuse of attacking the city to move the main force to the center and front. The periphery was full of small tribes. No matter how many casualties there were, their main force did not suffer any damage.
"Then why did he inform us before he left?" someone else questioned.
"What does that mean?" Enping retorted calmly, "Our spies have been running around. With so many people in Angel trying to escape, we can get the news later at most."
"In this case, they might as well tell us directly. If any of us can escape, we can't accuse them of escaping without caring about the life and death of friendly troops."
"Shameless." A bunch of people cursed.
"So what do we do now?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was splashed with cold water and suddenly woke up.
"Young Patriarch," Enping grew up watching the Blood Moon Eagle soar, and he has rarely been so serious with him, "Frankly speaking, there is no hope of saving this place."
Xueyue Yingxiang nodded silently, "It's all my fault..."
hehe.
Enping smiled and mistyped his words.
"The only plan now is for you to change your clothes, take a few personal guards, sneak into Angel's group immediately, and retreat with them."
Blood Moon Yingxiang was stunned, "What about you?"
"We?" Enping laughed.
He turned and looked towards the western night sky.
"The Rock Frontier Fortress has always been a thorn in the grassland's side. As long as it remains anchored to the border, we will not be able to fully display our capabilities."
"Huo Ling doesn't have many troops. He has been fighting for a whole day and a night, and he is already exhausted."
"It won't take long for us to be heavily surrounded. We probably won't be able to get out."
"In this case, it is better to gather all the troops and attack Huo Ling. Maybe we can kill them. Even if we can't kill them, we can still severely damage them and open a way for the future of the grassland."
