Chapter 456

With arms around her chest, mu Yinyin said: "it's very common in the history of the snow dragon empire that the demon troops cross the castle to attack the interior. But before the battle, I was very concerned about one thing, that is, the number of defenders inside the narrow peak pass was a little too small. Later, I asked, it is because today's grain transportation has temporarily taken away 40% of the troops, so that the defense force is insufficient. In addition, the attack of the demon army today is more fierce than usual, just before our reinforcements arrived. "

"Do you want to say that there are some traitors buried by the demons in the northern frontier I guard?" Fang Zhuosheng's voice lowered a lot, his tone sounded a little confused, whether he was meditating or secretly angry.

"Not necessarily. As far as I know, between the successive checkpoints in the northern frontier, every grain order was sent by the flying eagle at dawn that morning, so that the command's people's army could transport it back and forth as quickly as possible. Moreover, Huangmen gate will prepare grain in the morning, and there will be a special person to cooperate with the loading. It should not take an hour to march back and forth from the narrow peak pass, including the handover and loading. But it happened that the attack of the demon army was within this time. If there is a spy, it can't be done so fast. There is a wasteland outside the pass, and there are many sentinels to watch. It is difficult to send messages. What's more, it's still such a massive attack. "

Fang Zhuosheng nodded and said, "well, what's your opinion on earth?"

"Maybe it's just a coincidence. But what is the reason for this coincidence? In the past, the attacks of the demons were intermittent. Because they were all nomadic tribes, their forces were scattered, and they gathered together temporarily for the common interests, and they chose one or two levels to attack each time. Today, there are too many troops, and they attack many checkpoints at the same time. Where did the extra demon army come from, and why did it attack on such a large scale? " The evening Yin Yin conjectures to say, the facial expression is very earnest.

"At least from this point of view, as the daughter of Marshal Nan, you are still qualified. Compared with your sister who has been an adjutant, she is more assertive. However, the fire is still a little bad. "

Fang Zhuosheng grinned, looked at the others, and asked, "do you have any opinions about the rest?"

Fang Huanlan replied: "today's situation is somewhat different from what I have experienced in the past. At this time of the past year, the nomadic tribes of the demons attacked fiercely, but they didn't launch five siege vehicles in a narrow peak pass, regardless of the cost. Moreover, it has the ability to break the main arm of the garrison catapult from a long distance. These, however, have never been

Hearing the speech, Fang Zhuosheng bowed his head slightly, folded his hands, and said in a deep voice: "it seems that you are all just in the pass. You've just circled around, but haven't gone to the city building to have a look?"

"There are too many enemy troops. Several stairs are full of people and corpses. It's very difficult to get up. Moreover, we certainly can't ignore the enemy inside the pass. Naturally, we should help them nearby. "

"Yes, no wonder you. If you come from a long distance, you can't afford to worry so much. Naturally, when you see the enemy, you're on the way. Besides, the demons are cruel. It's not easy to deal with them. It's very nice of you to be able to make a success of the war and retreat all over at the same time. "

When Fang Zhuosheng's voice fell, Ning Yue slowly raised his hand and said, "probably, I know what Marshal Bei means."

"Oh? Let's hear it. "

"Because I went to the castle, I could see that in the distance outside the pass, there was a different army in the middle of the demon army. Coupled with Xi yuanshuai's unintentional reminder, I just reflected that what's weird. It's too neat. Compared with those demon soldiers who attack the city tower in crude and casual clothes, the soldiers who hold down the array are extremely well-equipped, and the array is neat, which is obviously not what the nomadic tribes can have. "

In response, Fang Zhuosheng raised his head again and said, "that's good. Not only in the narrow peak pass, but also in the Huangmen pass. As well as several other levels, there are similar reports. In the rear of the nomadic army with crude equipment, there appeared a well-equipped regular army of the demons. According to our understanding of the demons, such troops should not appear in the borders of all countries. "

Ning Yue continued: "besides, their arrows are very powerful. The long-distance strike is accurate and fierce. I'm ashamed to say that if Marshal Xi hadn't rushed to the rescue in time, I would have been killed on the spot. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that the strong main arm of the catapult would have been broken by the arrow, and the timing and accuracy were so accurate. It's terrible. It's a master of all kinds of training. Even I doubt that if they go out, even if the red flaming Legion is fighting, they will probably suffer a loss under the disadvantage of number. "

"You're kidding, aren't you?" she cried? The ChiYan army is the best among the elite of the Empire. What they are good at is to fight in the wild. Once the cavalry under the commander-in-chief of the Western Yuan Dynasty goes out, they will be invincible. "

"I'm afraid that's because he hasn't met a qualified opponent. At least this time, he raised his bow and shot repeatedly, defeating the other two generals. However, when he made several moves against the main general of the army, he was equal. I can't see his face, but I'm sure he wasn't shocked. He was excited because of his rare opponent. "

Speaking of this, ningyue noticed that there was a faint light in the eyes of Fang Zhuosheng.

Then Fang Zhuosheng nodded and said, "I agree with you. For a long time, the opponents of the snow dragon Empire were the rest of the Empire in the border areas of the world, some Orc tribes in the west, and the demons and nomads in the north. The situation on the mainland has its own balance. Those who are too strong will not interfere in the battle of the relatively weak. But today, that balance is beginning to be broken. "

Fang Huanlan's face changed, and he said, "is it difficult? Marshal Bei's meaning is that the elite demon army comes from further north, the rumored demon world?"

Nodding, Fang Zhuosheng said: "besides, it's hard to have another answer. But as I have said, there is a balance of patterns on the mainland. Although the borders of all countries are large, their overall strength is too weak compared with other human occupied areas. As a result, the other side of the mainland, known as the occupiers of the demon world, disdains to deal with us at all. It's just that some scattered demon tribes scattered on the edge of the gap have been in conflict and chaos with us all the time. "

"But if so, what is their purpose? Rumor has it that the higher demons, divided by Empire, have a strict and complete ruling system, which is better than the border areas of all countries. What reason do they have to help the scattered nomadic tribes to plunder food for the winter? It's not a small price to go out of the army once. It's just not worth the loss. " Mu Yinyin shook her head.

She knows a lot about the rumors and records of the demons. Marshal Nan liked to study refining tools, had no family opinion, and even touched the skills of other races, so that he collected all kinds of books. In the past, when she was bored, mu Yinyin would look at it at will. From this, she learned that there were more than many generals in the Empire.

Fang Zhuosheng said: "that's exactly the question. If we really want to fight such a well-equipped force, and if we concentrate our combat power on a little bit, we will not be able to defend the barren gate. However, from the performance of today's large army scattered around the checkpoints, it was just a wait-and-see, and helped a few times at will. It seems that their aim is not to attack the city at all. Then, it's even harder to guess the real purpose. "

"As for this, it's no use just guessing. We can only collect clues in the next time. Hopefully, they are just passing by for other purposes. For the sake of demons, just help the nomadic tribes outside the pass, that's all. "

Rather a smile, seems to want to ease the atmosphere is too dignified.

Nodded, Fang Zhuosheng sighed: "I want to come to you for a chat. As a result, my old problems are getting worse. How can I get directly involved in the topic that should have been discussed with the Ministry? Just now, I think it's all small talk. Don't spread it

"It's natural." The dusk wormwood answers in a hurry.

"But thanks to you, at least I'll think more before the next strategic meeting. By the way, all the way to the car mallougton, plus a war, you should be very tired, right? Go back and have a rest. The room should be ready. Well, Alan, you stay. I haven't played chess with you for a long time

Now that marshal Bei has said so, it's not easy for some people in ningyue to stay and leave.

After arriving at the door, Chang Xuanxuan and Xiao Ao let out a long breath. It seems that the tight heartstrings can finally be released. Then, Chang Xuanxuan hit ningyue's chest heavily.

"I think you can talk to anyone. That's Marshal north. He's the oldest of the four Marshals in the Empire. Even the elder, even his majesty, respects him. How dare you interrupt so much. At least, I don't have the guts. "

"I don't think it's courage, but you've got a paste in your head. You don't have any thoughts, just like Lin mo."

Xiao Ao pointed to the side of his body. Lin Mo seemed to be weak in both legs. He barely stood firm with the help of Ji Qianyou.

Ning Yue said: "I said you, marshal Bei didn't come to ask. Is it necessary to be so nervous? What's more, Xiao Ao, if you are brave enough, why didn't you say a word? "

For a moment, Xiao Ao, with a slightly heavy look, pulled Ning Yue to one side and said in a low voice, "when Marshal Bei looked at us just now, it seemed that my eyes instinctively showed a little more vigilance. It seems that he found out... "

……

Inside the house, looking at Fang Huanlan, who was holding the ball, Fang Zhuosheng shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that after spending so long with the little princess who is famous for her chess skills, Alan's chess skills are still the same as before, and have not improved."

"It's not long. I plan to take part in the new sharp competition before I reach a consensus with her. There was no intersection before. When she came to me, I was quite surprised. And at that time, I didn't know she was the sister of the queen today. "

In the hands of chess pieces fall, Fang Huanlan suddenly a smile: "it's grandfather you, or consistent style, first consolidate the defensive formation, and then look for opportunities."

Fang Zhuosheng also said with a smile, "I can't change my habit over the years. You grew up with me, don't you have some such practices? It's just that in some things, we can't be defensive. If you are robbed of the opportunity, steadiness will become your bondage

Fang Huanlan was stunned and puzzled: "I don't know, what does grandfather mean?"

In this regard, Fang Zhuosheng's smile is meaningful, but with a trace of fun.

"Alan has always been a woman, and no one in the army dares to question her. But it's still a girl after all. At this age, it's very common to move some people's common thoughts. From the letter you sent me back, I can see that you care about Ning Yue very much
