low-key is king

Chapter 293 This Must Be a Rumor!

Xuanyang Kingdom, north of Changning City!

The banners were unfurled and the sound of killing was loud. The 50 troops of the Jinfeng Kingdom had besieged Changning City for half a month, but they still hadn't captured the Xuanyang Fortified City.

The reason is that Changning City is guarded by the Xuanyang Zhendong King himself, who is not only a general who is good at attacking, but also a commander who is good at defending.

Especially after Kuang Shan, the grand master of the six realms, also led troops to help, the mood of Ning Taiping, the king of Jinfeng, undoubtedly became worse and worse, and he always had a faint uneasiness.

This uneasiness was not only brought to him by the current battle, but also the record of the Xuanyang Shenji Battalion in conquering more than ten cities of the Golden Wind, which was like a mountain on his head.

Although there was no news from Xuanyang Shenji Camp in the past few days, and it seemed that the opponent had stopped after taking down Ming City, the uneasiness in Ning Taiping's heart was still lingering.

On the one hand, there was a fire in the backyard, and on the other hand, the frontline battle was unfavorable, and Changning City could not be taken for a long time. As a rising hegemon in a short period of time, Ning Taiping did not want to see such a result anyway.

Changning City is the barrier to the northeast of Tianyang City, the capital of Xuanyang. Once this state city is captured, the Golden Wind army will be able to drive in and approach the capital of Xuanyang.

At least in Ning Taiping's view, even if the Xuanyang Shenji Battalion is invincible, it must not be easy to capture the Golden Wind Country, and he must be the one who will be faster at that time.

It's a pity that Lu Mingyang blocked every attack again and again, and attacked the top of Changning City a few times, but was also ambushed by the opponent, causing Jinfeng Kingdom to suffer heavy losses.

The day's attack was still going on, Ning Taiping sat on the high platform set up by the Chinese army, watching the wave after wave of Jinfeng elite soldiers attacking the city, he didn't speak for a long time, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Beside Ning Taiping, Generalissimo Xiao Lie, Minister of War Geng Quanzhong and others are all on the line, it is not yet the last moment, there is no need for these generals to charge forward.

"Tell me, how is Golden Wind City doing now?"

All of a sudden, the monarch Ning Taiping suddenly asked such a sentence, which made Geng Quanzhong and the others slightly taken aback, and immediately there was a hint of disdain on their faces.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Xuanyang Shenji Battalion has only 2000 people, and the capital is guarded by the Prime Minister, so it will be fine. Maybe the guys from the Shenji Battalion have been wiped out now!"

One of them has always been a supporter of Prime Minister Fang Lun, and I don't know if Fang Lun deliberately let him stay here. Now he is talking freely, with an undisguised confidence on his face.

As for other people, they must also think the same way. The walls of Jinfeng City are high and thick. As long as Fang Lun can't defend it, Xuanyang Shenji Battalion will definitely not be able to break through.

What's more, there are a full 20 defenders in Jinfeng City, a hundred times the strength of Xuanyang Shenji Battalion, so it's not impossible to defend even a city, right?

"It makes sense!"

Ning Taiping also knew that he might be thinking too much, he suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Fang Lun sent information before, saying that the Xuanyang Shenji Battalion stayed in Mingcheng for three days, and he sent Yang Shu to test it first. , I don’t know what the result will be?”

"Your Majesty's prosperity is equal to the sky. The Prime Minister must have expected it well. The ammunition supply of the Shenji Battalion is difficult to sustain. Maybe it has been taken down now!"

Although the other general was not from Fang Lun, but for the sake of Jinfeng's overall situation at this moment, he couldn't help speaking out. They naturally knew the military situation coming from the rear.

These frontline people all have their own news channels, and have been paying attention to the battle situation in the rear base camp.

The Shenji Battalion stayed in Ming City for three days, or the news that Yang Shu led people to attack Ming City, naturally they couldn't hide it from them.

"The news of the battle in Mingcheng should come soon!"

Geng Quanzhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, said something with a smile, and then his eyes turned to the rear of the camp, only to see a series of sounds of breaking wind coming into his ears, attracting everyone to turn their heads.

"Hehe, it seems that there is good news from the capital!"

In order to confirm his words, the smile on Geng Quanzhong's face couldn't help but get a little thicker.

He could tell that it was the messenger bird of each family, and it must have been the first time that the information from the capital or the other side of the city was transmitted.

Ning Taiping didn't speak, but silently picked up a bird, and gently took off a small frame on its foot, that was exactly the Shuiyue mirror that could store images.

It seems that Ning Taiping is really paying close attention to the battle in the rear base camp, and he is willing to use this incomparably precious water moon mirror to convey information.

If the bird was shot and killed halfway, wouldn't it be a loss of this priceless treasure?

But then again, this messenger bird has the symbol of the Golden Wind Royal Family on it. Anyone who dares to shoot it is a serious crime against the Nine Clans. No one dares to take such a risk.

As for the other Golden Wind generals, they did not have such a luxury.

But when they couldn't wait to open the letter box and read the contents on the letter paper, their faces suddenly became colorful.

"This...how is this possible?"

These few words were the ones who exclaimed the most. Obviously, the information they received was all true information.

It recorded in detail how Yang Shu was defeated in Ming City, and how Xuanyang Shenji Battalion took advantage of the victory to pursue, and then took down all the matters of Jinfeng City.

These generals of the Golden Wind Nation were talking and laughing just now, thinking that the Golden Wind City guarded by Fang Lun would never be breached by the Xuanyang Shenji Battalion. They didn't expect that the Golden Wind Nation would fall in just a short time.

"This must be fake!"

Hearing the exclamations of the surrounding generals, Ning Taiping suddenly stood up from the big golden chair, and shouted in a deep voice: "This is definitely a rumor spread by the Xuanyang Kingdom, trying to confuse our army!"

It seems that Ning Taiping was also shocked by the news and lost his composure. Even though he said so, deep down in his heart was a touch of fear. What if it is true?
"That's right, this must be a treacherous scheme of the Xuanyang Kingdom. How can a mere 20 Divine Machine Battalion be able to capture the strong city of our capital guarded by an army of [-]? This is obviously impossible!"

Even Xiao Lie, who hated Fang Lun to the bone, knew the consequences of the fall of the Golden Wind Nation. Then their 50 army would really become rootless duckweed.

"The information may be false, but the things recorded by Shuiyuejing are absolutely impossible!"

Geng Quanzhong, Minister of the Ministry of War next to him, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly looked at the Shuiyue mirror in His Majesty's hand, which also attracted everyone's attention here.

But for some reason, when Geng Quanzhong's voice just fell, he saw a sharp gaze projected towards him.

This made him react instantly, wishing he could slap himself twice.

Apparently Geng Quanzhong also lost his mind a bit, he was no longer as shrewd as usual, he said such stupid words at this time, but it was too late to take them back.

In fact, when Ning Taiping and Xiao Lie said this, they already believed it halfway.

It's impossible for everyone's information to be false, right? The fall of Jinfeng Country is probably true.

Just now Ning Taiping said that it was a rumor, just to give everyone a step down, as long as everyone believes that it is a rumor, then the morale of the 50 troops will still be available.

But at this moment Geng Quanzhong, who has always been shrewd, seems to really believe that it is a rumor, and he actually wants Ning Taiping to reveal the image in the Shuiyue mirror in his hand.

But once the image of Shuiyue Mirror appears, all the truth will be revealed to everyone. It is obviously impossible for Ning Taiping to use those illusory rumors to confuse everyone.

Ning Taiping's sharp eyes were full of killing intent. At this moment, he suddenly found that there was no one available in the huge Golden Wind Nation.

In the past, Fang Lun helped Ning Taiping a lot, but during the attack on Xuanyang Kingdom, he made two stupid moves in a row, so he had no choice but to drive him back to the Golden Wind Capital to calm down Xiao Lie. Wait for the general's anger.

Originally, Fang Lun could defend the Golden Wind Capital for himself, but he didn't expect that the Golden Wind City would be destroyed in a short time.

Thinking that the royal family he stayed in the Golden Wind Capital had been slaughtered, Ning Taiping's heart was dripping with blood.

This anger was naturally directed at the inappropriate Minister of the Ministry of War.

But seeing everyone's eyes staring at him, or staring at the moon water mirror in his hand, Ning Taiping knew that it would be impossible not to give a definite result.

Or maybe in Ning Taiping's own heart, there is also a sliver of hope, what if those information letters are really rumors, what if this is really a trick of Xuanyang Kingdom?

Swish!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ning Taiping finally waved his hand and levitated the water moon mirror into the sky.

A faint ray of light then appeared from the mirror surface of the water moon mirror.

"It's Xuanyang Shenji Battalion!"

One of the generals had sharp eyes, and at this moment he yelled loudly, attracting a bunch of glaring glances.

Can't we see that it is the Xuanyang Shenji Camp?Need you to remind me?

What appeared on the Shuiyue Mirror at this moment was the Xuanyang Divine Machine Battalion under Golden Wind City, but when everyone saw the number of the Divine Machine Battalion, their faces became even more ugly.

"There are definitely more than 2000 people, at least... 5000 people!"

A gloomy voice came out, making everyone feel gloomy. This was obviously a result they hadn't expected, and it didn't match the information that had been passed on before.

In normal times, before Golden Wind City's 20 troops defended the city, there would be no difference between 2000 and 5000 people, they were all ants that could be directly crushed to death.

But after the opponent replaced them with the invincible Xuanyang Shenji Battalion, their fighting strength was doubled, which is definitely not the same. This might even be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Ning Taiping remained silent with a gloomy face, but there was a touch of despair in his heart.

When the last hope was gone, even someone as tough as him couldn't bear it.
