"City Lord! This is absolutely true! "
The guard said anxiously. "The North Xuan Bandit Army has three to four million people. They have all gathered outside the west gate and formed a battle formation to challenge our army!"
"This … this doesn't make sense …"
E Huo Yunshan frowned. "The mere North Xuan Bandit Army is going to be destroyed in six days! Who gave them the courage to actually dare to attack my Fire Lion Capital City? "
"Also, an army of three to four million people set off from Giant Axe City at the edge of the vast Mountain Sea Realm. Why were they not discovered along the way? Why did they suddenly descend upon Fire Lion City?
"Most importantly, a mere three to four million people attacking the city is like throwing an egg against a rock! Is the North Xuan Bandit King sick in the head? Is he sending people to die? "
It was obvious that E Huo Yunshan was really smart. In an instant, he had thought of all the suspicious points in the entire matter!
"City Lord is wise!"
The guard nodded heavily. "This matter is very suspicious. There must be a trap! Should we immediately contact His Majesty and invite him back to discuss this in detail? "
"This …" E Huo Yunshan was still considering when his train of thought was interrupted by No.8 Luban!
"Are you stupid? Is there a need to contact Father for such a small matter? "
No.8 Luban said disdainfully. "My Second Uncle is a hero. The Fire Lion Army is very powerful! A mere three to four million bandits are not even enough to fill the gaps between my Second Uncle's teeth! "
"Mm, Wuhan is right!"
E Huo Yunshan felt a little light-headed from all the flattery. "A mere three to four million people attacking the city. Whether there is a trap or not, they won't be able to do anything! I'll just send my troops to suppress them! There's no need to disturb Brother Wang! "
Hearing this, the guard said worriedly, "City Lord! Before His Majesty left, he gave a clear order to the eight strongholds of Flaming Flame City! He said that he is personally leading the army this time. The rear is empty and there are many variables. No matter what happens, we must report to him … "
"You're just a small guard. What do you know!"
No.8 Luban continued to add fuel to the fire. "My Father is currently leading his troops to Giant Axe City! As the saying goes, the first drumbeat of vigor, the second will weaken, and the third will exhaust! If we let him return now, the morale of the army will definitely plummet. Have you thought about the consequences? "
"This …" The guard gulped, speechless.
No.8 Luban narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "With father's temper, he will definitely be angry. He will definitely kill anyone who dares to waver the army's morale!"
"Spare me, Seventh Prince! This lowly one made a slip of the tongue. I dare not shake the morale of the army! "The guard was so scared that he wet his pants. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, not daring to say another word.
"Contact Father. He will definitely be angry!"
No.8 Luban said calmly, "On the contrary, if Second Uncle can achieve a complete victory here and spread the news, it will definitely boost the morale of the army. Father will also be very happy and reward Second Uncle handsomely!"
"That's right!" When E Huo Yunshan heard this, he was immediately tempted.
As his brother, E Huo Yunshan was the clearest about E Huo Yuntian's thoughts.
This time, the reason why E Huo Yuntian wanted to wipe out the North Xuan army with such great fanfare was to use this battle to intimidate all the main cities in the Fire Cloud Region!
Killing the chicken to warn the monkeys so that no one in the Fire Cloud Region would dare to have any thoughts of rebellion!
This way, not only did E Huo Yuntian want to win, but he also wanted to win gloriously and honorably!
If the hundreds of millions of troops at the front stopped because of a mere three to four million people at the back, they would probably be the laughing stock of the world if word got out!
This would naturally incur E Huo Yuntian's wrath. No one would have a good time!
On the contrary, if they could achieve victory at both the front and rear, the world would know that the Fire Cloud Royal City was very powerful. The effect of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys would be even better!
This way, E Huo Yuntian would be very happy and would naturally reward them handsomely!
"Pass down my orders!"
E Huo Yunshan made up his mind and directly passed down the order. "Let Hu Heng, Lin Dong, Wu Zhou bring three million people out of the city to fight! Give them two hours to defeat the enemy. Otherwise, they will be punished according to military law! "
"Yes!"
The guards received the order and immediately ran away.
No.8 Luban asked with interest, "Why did Second Uncle only send three generals and three million soldiers? This number can't compare to the enemy! "
"Wuhan, you are too young! It's not the number of soldiers, it's the quality! It's not the number of generals, it's the bravery! "
E Huo Yunshan said confidently, "The three million people I sent are all well-equipped and battle-hardened warriors! Compared to a motley crew like the North Xuan Bandit Army, they are a hundred thousand times better!
"Hu Heng, Lin Dong, Wu Zhou, the three of them are also brave generals with the courage of ten thousand men! Their cultivation is high, and their treasures are also strong! Dealing with a few North Xuan Bandit Army is as easy as flipping a hand! "
The more E Huo Yunshan spoke, the more confident he became. "I can even be sure that within two hours, the North Xuan Bandit Army outside the city will definitely be defeated! There will be at least a million casualties! "
No.8 Luban smiled indifferently and cupped his hands in congratulation. "Since that's the case, then I'll congratulate Second Uncle in advance for making the greatest contribution!"
"We're all family, there's no need to be so polite!"
E Huo Yunshan grinned and said, "Come, let's go in and have some tea. We'll wait for the news of our great victory!"
"Alright!" No.8 Luban nodded and smiled without saying a word.
Zhang Chuteng hurriedly followed.
…
The three of them had just walked into the City Lord's Mansion. Less than two minutes later, a guard rushed over with a face full of fear.
As if he had seen a ghost, the guard ran until he was out of breath. His face was as white as a sheet, and he was sweating profusely. He had almost lost his soul!
When E Huo Yunshan saw this, he shouted with disdain, "Are you in a hurry to reincarnate? You're in such a hurry, you have no manners at all! "
"Reporting … reporting to the City Lord …"
The guard knelt on the ground and panted for a while before saying in horror, "The three generals, Hu Heng, Lin Dong, and Wu Zhou, were challenged by the North Xuan enemy. In just one round, they were killed by two generals who called themselves Ying Zheng and Xiang Yu …"
"Once the three generals died, Xiang Yu and Ying Zheng, along with the ten North Xuan generals behind them, all charged forward and killed five to six hundred thousand of our men in an instant … The soldiers were like dragons without a leader and were utterly defeated. They have all fled back into the city …"
"What!? How … how is this possible!? " E Huo Yunshan was stunned, his entire face contorted. His face alternated between red and green, and his cheeks were burning hot.
Just a moment ago, E Huo Yunshan had been bragging in front of No.8 Luban about the bravery of his generals and the elite soldiers!
At this moment, reality was like an explosive slap on E Huo Yunshan's face! The slap made him dizzy, and he even wondered if he had heard wrongly!
