The sound of a relieved voice echoed through the barracks.
Huo Zhenxiao got up, walked to the window, opened it and took a deep breath of the cold, biting air.
This was the only time he had opened the window in the past two days.
Looking at the rising sun creeping up in the sky.
He stretched his back.
“You’re back, then it’s time for you to reveal exactly what medicine you’re selling in your gourd, Master.”
As he spoke, his eyes narrowed into slits, flickering with a cold light.
Even as Chen Daogun’s personal disciple, to this day, the feeling that Master gave Huo Zhenxiao was still shrouded in a thick veil.
He did not know what exactly his master was planning.
But from before the Great War had started, Master’s series of operations had been extremely perverse.
It was as if he was helping the Hundred Tribes outside the domain more than he was helping the domain.
Position is important!
Chen Daojun was also important!
The Master who should have stood within the domain the most, by preference, stood outside the domain.
The only explanation for this …… might as well be Chen Dong!
Now that Chen Dong has returned to Zhenjiang City, then it’s time for Chen Daogun to reveal the mystery!
Huo Zhenxiao closed the window again, the war was tight and he could not afford to relax for too long.
The allied army of the Hundred Tribes from outside the realm was raging, using a sea of men to fight in a wheel war, hardening several battlefields outside Zhenjiang City and pinning down all the troops of the Great Snow Dragon Riders.
The troops left in Zhenjiang City can only meet the basic defence requirements.
Reinforcements have not yet arrived and employment has not yet arrived.
Isolated and without help, Zhenjiang City, at the sharp end of the storm, had become a complete dead end.
As the master of the army, what he has to do is to control the whole situation at all times, dispatch the various battlefield commands and supervise the delivery of supplies ……
The most important thing is that he has to take care of all the details.
It’s not that Huo Zhenxiao doesn’t want to share these matters, it’s because in a situation like this, a slight negligence will result in the destruction of the nest.
What he wanted was to use the 300,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders to find a silver lining in the midst of these deadly moves!
“It’s the third day, the allied army of the Hundred Tribes should be about to launch their final general attack, right?”
Huo Zhenxiao settled back down in front of the desk, looking at the mountains of military reports in front of him, his expression cold and stern, battle intent raging in his eyes.
“If we survive today and all the reinforcements and hires arrive, then Zhenjiang City and the rest of our brothers will be saved!”
Huo Zhenxiao did not expect the 300,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders to save the day in the entire battle, because rooted in the battlefield, he knew that this was not an expectation at all, but …… a fool’s dream!
The current comparison of the two sides’ military strength, 300,000 against 2 million, is already an extremely horrible disparity!
In the past, the Great Snow Dragon Riding Army was still able to rely on the strength of a single soldier to crush the Hundred Tribes outside the domain, but after the opening of the Heavenly Wolf Martial Dao Body, the strength of a single soldier of the Hundred Tribes Rongwu quickly drew closer to the Great Snow Dragon Riding Army.
Although it was still obvious from the first two days of fighting that there was still a gap between the two sides’ strength, this gap was no longer enough for the Great Snow Dragon Riders to form an overwhelming advantage over the Hundred Tribes like they did in the past.
The high battle damage reports stacked up in the corners of the walls said it all!
Such a battle loss ratio had never been seen in the past!
Faced with the imminent outbreak of the Hundred Clans’ ma*sive southward advance, Huo Zhenxiao’s heart was always hanging in his throat.
A day is a short time.
But at this moment, it was extraordinarily long!
The artillery fire, the shouting and killing outside, had been going on for two days and two nights.
There was never the slightest sign of weakening.
From these sounds, Huo Zhenxiao knew what a predicament the Great Snow Dragon Riders were in on all sides of the battlefield.
But, mercy does not rule!
Ruthlessness, indifference, is what a master should have in mind.
One battle report flew out of his hands like a snowflake, and another one came from all directions like a snowflake.
It lasted until noon, and the great general attack that Huo Zhenxiao had anticipated did not appear.
The reports from all sides of the battlefield were the same as before.
This could not help but make Huo Zhenxiao’s brow furrow even more tightly.
“Bai Qi, urge the scouts on the battlefields on all sides to intensify their search for intelligence, and the Lord’s Order …… wants them to discover the movements of the allied army of the Hundred Tribes from two hundred miles away!”
Huo Zhenxiao put down the affairs in his hands, pinched the bridge of his nose, and ordered Bai Qi in a deep voice.
“Your Majesty, after experiencing the first two days of rounds of attacks, the battlefields of all sides have long since spread their scouts out to two hundred miles away in order to be able to rest better.”
Bai Qi was a little puzzled, but still clasped his fist and reported.
Huo Zhenxiao raised his sword brows, “But why, can’t we find their large forces?”
The words were a question and a puzzlement.
Two hundred miles away, a ma*sive march, as long as the scouts were not blind, they could see it!
But there was no movement until now!
Even if the scouts couldn’t find it, the series of high technology had all gone silent, that’s the hell of it!
“Maybe the army hasn’t moved at all?” Bai Qi raised an idea.
But Huo Zhenxiao waved his hand, “Impossible! Three days of manned tactics, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry has been dragged to the point of being trapped and precarious, if we delay any longer, our ma*sive reinforcements will arrive, which will only be bad news for the Hundred Clans United Army. The opportunity!”
“But is not found!”
Bai Qi’s thick eyebrows were furrowed as he thought for two seconds and said, “But …… if Xixing really wants to seize this opportunity today, the later the large force is launched, the more deadly it will be for our brothers in the Great Snow Dragon Riding Army, I will order the intelligence agencies to continue to intensify their search and then mobilize external parties to join in the mission.”
He was not stupid, as a former Dragon Head Guard, his battlefield experience was only second to Huo Zhenxiao’s in the army.
Today was indeed the best opportunity.
The later we delay, the more depleted the Great Snow Dragon Riders will be.
This is what happens when an army is defeated!
On the contrary, the sooner they are launched, the longer they will be able to delay the battle!
The words had just fallen.
“Report!”
A shout came from outside the door.
A scout, wrapped in snow, rushed in, and didn’t even have time to kneel down before reporting straight away, “Your Majesty, an allied army of a hundred tribes has appeared in the northeast, numbering half a million, and is coming towards Zhenjiang City in great numbers, with only thirty miles to go!”
Boom!
The sound was like a thunderclap.
Huo Zhenxiao shot to his feet, his eyes widening in anger.
Bai Qi’s eyes were even wider, full of disbelief.
Bai Qi blurted out a question, “Thirty miles? What the hell are you elite scouts doing? What are you elite scouts doing? What are the intelligence of Zhenjiang City and all other parties doing? The 500,000-strong army is only 30 miles away from Zhenjiang City, and you only found out?”
A series of questions highlighted how unbelievable this information was.
According to Bai Qi’s past battlefield experience, this simply could not have happened!
It was half a million people, and when one crosses ten thousand, one is a sea. Half a million people, walking together on the ground, would be a vast and boundless ma*s.
A distance of thirty miles is a number that shouldn’t be there!
Such a great battle, such numbers, such a distance, it would not be too much to say that it was close at hand and that the flying dragons were riding their faces!
“What the hell has gone wrong?”
Huo Zhenxiao’s face was hard to see, his hands pressed on the case table, hardening his palm imprints on it.
“A red cloud was monitored above the Hundred Clans’ army, and it was this cloud that obscured the various technological means of monitoring on our side, while the wind and snow in the northeast was so strong that it obscured the movements of the half-million troops!”
The scout’s face was as white as paper and he reported with trepidation.
“BullSh*t!”
Bai Qi cursed indignantly.
“Bai Qi …… they have the ability to do this, a group of hidden worlds striking at the same time!”
Huo Zhenxiao suddenly thought of a possibility, his face swooshed and his solemn killing intent blazed out, “Bai Qi listen to the order!”
“The last general is here!”
Bai Qi’s back was instantly straightened and his expression was grim.
“This marshal asks you, if you are sent out to the city, are you sure you can withstand this army?”
Huo Zhenxiao’s words were like thunder, but his face was as black as heavy ink.
A large army with a group of Hidden Worlds augmenting it was a fatal blow, not to mention the fact that the number of defensive rongwu within Zhenjiang City today was already insufficient!
Bai Qi hesitated for a moment and then suddenly smiled, “There must be a home for our brothers, and a base camp for the parties coming to support them, Bai Qi wishes!”
“This marshal asks you if you can hold it off!”
Huo Zhenxiao’s eyes shone with a cold aura.
Bai Qi’s eyes widened and his battle spirit surged: “Bai Qi is willing to lead 10,000 troops to resist to the death, and if I lose, I will fight to the last man and let the army trample over our corpses before I reach Zhenjiang City!
Every word was like a loud bell, resolute and mournful.
