Chapter 1390 Such an Enemy

"Is this the hundreds of thousands of Nanping troops you are talking about?" Yelu Hongfei stood on the top of the city of Yangyuguan and asked Zhao Guangzhi with a cold face: "Do you think that this prince does not know how to count, or that he does not know military skills?"

After the gong sounded, Yelu Hongfei led Hong Qingyun and other generals to the city. Not long after, Zhao Guangzhi and others also hurriedly arrived. The defenders in Yangyu Pass and the soldiers brought by Yelu Hongfei from Shuiyue Kingdom The army has also entered a wartime state at this time, especially the soldiers of Shuiyue Kingdom, all of them have cold faces, and their indifference is full of fighting spirit and murderous intent.

Outside the Yangyu Pass, what you can see is a dense crowd of figures. Because the distance is a bit far away, it is not very clear. However, no matter how you look at it, the number of these figures is not hundreds of thousands. Whether it is Yelu Hongfei or Hong Qingyun, Having been in the military for many years, they can tell a rough idea at a glance. Although they don't know the specific number of those people outside, they definitely don't have hundreds of thousands, or even less than 100,000!

When Zhao Guangzhi heard Yelu Hongfei's words, his face became slightly nervous, and he quickly said: "The general dare not deceive His Highness the Second Prince. The army that attacked Nanping before was indeed 400,000 to 500,000 people. These are certainly not that many in front of us. The general estimates that they may have heard the news and knew that His Highness, the Second Highness, was leading the Shuiyue Kingdom's army to support them. They were afraid of His Highness's reputation and did not dare to attack in a large scale, so they sent some vanguard troops to check out the situation. "

Zhao Guangzhi's words made Yelu Hongfei's face look a little better. He did not doubt Zhao Guangzhi's words. After all, Nanping Kingdom was just a small country. It was okay to defeat Blackwater Kingdom, but if he really fought against their Shuiyue Kingdom army, he would never win. possibility, it is normal to not dare to attack aggressively.

"They seem to have stopped." Hong Qingyun said like the "Nanping Kingdom" army outside the city.

Everyone looked and saw that it was indeed the case. The army that was charging with great momentum stopped far away from the city wall.

"What are they going to do? Reorganize the team and charge again?" Yelu Hongfei frowned slightly.

Yelu Hongfei originally thought that the enemy troops outside the pass would rush over in one go, but this was not the case. The enemy troops actually stopped far away. Yelu Hongfei thought that the enemy troops might be preparing to reorganize their formation before charging, but it seemed that That's not the case. The enemy troops who stopped were actually standing in twos and threes in such a disorganized manner, with no formation at all.

"Was your Blackwater Kingdom's army defeated by such an army?" Yelu Hongfei looked at the enemy troops outside the city who couldn't even stand in formation, and said to Zhao Guangzhi sarcastically.

Zhao Guangzhi looked embarrassed and could only bite the bullet and said: "Yes, yes."

"Such a team with no military discipline and no fighting qualities is actually able to defeat your Blackwater Kingdom's army and scare you so much that you dare not even leave the city gate and ask for help in a hurry. The strength of your Blackwater Kingdom's army , It really impressed me." Yelu Hongfei did not let Zhao Guangzhi go, and continued, with no trace of sarcasm in his words.

Hong Qingyun and other generals who followed Yelu Hongfei almost had undisguised sarcastic expressions on their faces.

In their opinion, if the enemy troops outside the city were not wearing Nanping Kingdom uniforms and holding Nanping Kingdom flags, they would even think that they were just a team of bandits, a miscellaneous army without any training.

And in their opinion, such a team, which was not even qualified to be called an army, actually defeated hundreds of thousands of troops from the Blackwater Kingdom. How weak was the Blackwater Kingdom's army?

"In these years, we have never had a direct confrontation with Nanping's army on the battlefield, but we did not expect that they would be so weak." Hong Qingyun said sarcastically.

A few years ago, Hong Qingyun once fought against the troops of the Nanping Kingdom on the battlefield. At that time, although the combat effectiveness of the Nanping Kingdom's army was not as good as theirs, it was still barely visible. However, in recent years, the Shuiyue Kingdom's army has no longer been able to defeat them. When it comes to direct confrontation with the Nanping Kingdom, they usually only send subordinate countries to fight, such as the Blackwater Kingdom. Therefore, he does not know the true level of the Nanping Kingdom's army now.

Now looking at the "Nanping Kingdom" troops outside the city, Hong Qingyun only felt ridicule and contempt in his heart.

Of course, it would be even more unbearable for the Blackwater Kingdom's army to be defeated by such a team.

"Shuiyue Kingdom is a big country, and our Blackwater Kingdom can't compare with it." Zhao Guangzhi said flatteringly: "Of course, Nanping Kingdom's army can't compare with yours either."

"That's true." Yelu Hongfei nodded naturally.

Everyone waited on the city wall for a long time, but still no enemy troops were seen attacking the city. Zhao Guangzhi and others were not in a hurry. They were just acting, but the generals of Shuiyue Kingdom couldn't hold it anymore.

"What are the Nanping troops doing? Are they here for an outing? Do they want to fight?" said a general from Shanhu Camp.

"Your Highness, General, I am willing to lead the army into battle." Another general took the initiative to ask Yelu Hongfei and Hong Qingyun for advice.

Yelu Hongfei and Hong Qingyun were a little moved, but Zhao Guangzhi and others were frightened.

Seeing that Yelu Hongfei seemed to want to agree, Yelu Hongfei quickly said: "Your Highness, you must not leave the city!"

"What's wrong?" Yelu Hongfei asked.

"This... this, the main force of the Nanping Kingdom has not shown up. Now only the vanguard has appeared. The general is afraid that there is a fraud involved. If he rushes out of the city, he may be ambushed." Zhao Guangzhi explained bravely.

This explanation makes sense. After all, the enemy army in front of them only has tens of thousands of people. If it is true as Zhao Guangzhi said, the army of Nanping Kingdom has hundreds of thousands of people, then their main force is not here, and the team in front of them is probably just a bait.

"Your Highness, in my opinion, it is better to put up all your Nanping Kingdom flags and plant them all over the city walls to scare the Nanping Kingdom troops outside. They don't know how many people you have. Seeing your flags on the city walls, plus the strong reputation of Shuiyue Kingdom, they will definitely be able to scare off the Nanping Kingdom troops. At that time, the crisis of our Yangyu Pass will be resolved." Zhao Guangzhi saw that Yelu Hongfei seemed to believe his explanation, so he continued to persuade him, wanting to solve this matter in one go.

In Zhao Guangzhi's plan, the "Nanping army" outside the city would only stay outside the city for a period of time, and then they could retreat. At that time, they could explain that the Nanping army was afraid of the Shuiyue army, so they chose to retreat. At that time, the crisis on him would be resolved, and he could even take this opportunity to get closer to Yelu Hongfei.

Unfortunately, what Zhao Guangzhi didn't know was that Yelu Hongfei, Hong Qingyun and others came here not only to help them defend Yangyu Pass, but they also had other purposes.

So, after hearing Zhao Guangzhi's suggestion, Yelu Hongfei replied almost without thinking: "No!"
