Chapter 700: Black and White Reversed [Please subscribe*Please vote]

In Yangdu City, Xiang Liang and Banbu were waiting for the return of Xiang Ji and the elite troops of the Tenglong Legion who had gone out to attack the camp.

But when they saw that Xiang Ji and his entourage had returned with less than a hundred people, their hearts sank to the bottom.

"What happened!" Xiang Liang ran down the city wall to pick up Xiang Ji.

Xiang Ji remained silent and said nothing.

Tonight's defeat made him fully realize his own shortcomings.

Until now he still doesn’t know why the attack on the camp failed, what happened to Long Ju, who grew up with him, and how were they discovered?

Seeing that Xiang Ji was depressed and seemed to have been hit hard, Xiang Liang captured the other soldiers who had returned with him and asked them about the battle.

In the end, Xiang Liang and Bambu both fell silent.

They were defeated miserably and they didn't even know what went wrong.

When the army attacked the camp, even Xiang Liang and Banbu did not know the chosen target, as it was all decided by Xiang Ji on the spur of the moment, so there was no possibility of leakage of information.

But they still fell into the trap!

"Which link went wrong?" Xiang Liang and Bambu looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

If Li Ren had predicted that they were going to raid the Right Guard Camp, that would be terrifying.

But if Li Ren had not predicted their surprise attack and made preparations in advance, the result would have been even more terrifying.

They would rather believe that it was Li Ren who predicted their prediction, so that no matter how strong he is, he is only strong enough for Li Ren.

But if it is the latter, then the entire Bingzhou army is strong, so strong that it makes people feel exhausted.

However, the words of the defeated soldiers of the Tenglong Legion shattered their hopes.

"Young Master was defeated by a centurion of the Bingzhou Heavy Cavalry Battalion!"

"Are you kidding?" Xiang Liang couldn't believe it.

If Xiang Ji was defeated by the captain of a battalion in Bingzhou, the captain of a thousand men could understand it, after all, Xiang Ji was still young.

But the results obtained from the soldiers were all the same, he was just a centurion, and he completely defeated Xiang Ji!

Even Xiang Liang and Bambu did not think they could completely defeat Xiang Ji now.

"Tell me in detail!" Bambu frowned and wanted to know the whole process of the fight between Xiang Ji and the centurion named Yun Da'nu.

However, the soldiers’ martial arts skills were not that high, so they couldn’t see much and it was difficult to explain the process clearly.

However, Xiang Liang and Banbu still learned the whole process from each other.

After three shots, Xiang Ji was defeated and was beaten without any chance to fight back!
This also explains why Xiang Ji was depressed and silent after returning.

In terms of command, they were completely defeated by the Right Guard Battalion.

In terms of military force, they were completely defeated by an unknown centurion.

It would be difficult for anyone to accept it in a short period of time.

What's more, in this battle, they lost a total of 5,000 people, and they were the elite of the Tenglong Legion.

Many of them were his elders and playmates.

"Long Ju is missing, Xiang Bo died in the battle..." Xiang Liang's eyes went dark when he heard the soldiers' report.

It doesn't matter if the others died in the battle, as Xiang Bo and his men are all direct descendants of the Xiang family. Bambu looked at Xiang Liang's pale face and did not speak again.

In tonight's night attack, the Xiang family suffered heavy losses.

Almost all those who went out were the elite members of the Xiang clan, but now only Xiang Ji has returned. The fate of the others is self-evident.

Therefore, Bambu took the initiative to take over the city defense affairs and stopped disturbing Xiang Liang.

As for fighting again, forget it, don’t even think about it!
The Tenglong Corps had lost all its elite members, and its own Thunder Leopard Corps had lost its spirit. What could the remaining Shadow Tiger Corps do?

Is it necessary to let the Shadow Tiger Legion go up and fight with the Bingzhou Army and teach the three major legions of the Chu State a lesson one by one?
The next day, Ji Bu brought his group of dandies to Yangdu. Looking at the central army headquarters where one could hear a pin drop, Ji Bu also had an ominous premonition.

"The Tenglong Legion attacked the camp last night. Five thousand men left and only eighty-two returned. All the elite members of the Xiang clan were killed!" Banbu explained in a low voice to Ji Bu.

Ji Bu widened his eyes and looked at Bambu, "Are you kidding me?" However, looking at Xiang Liang and Xiang Ji, Ji Bu knew that what Bambu said was true.

Because many positions in the shogunate are vacant!
"Let's go see the young master first!" Ji Bu took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in his heart.

Bambu nodded, and then called Xiang Liang to go meet the playboys in Shouchun together.

"I am Xiang Liang (Ji Bu, Ban Bu), the humble general, and I am honored to meet Master Fu Chu and all the princes!" The three of them walked into an exquisite courtyard and saluted to the princes and sons of the kings present.

"General Xiang, as the commander-in-chief of the army, why don't you leave the city to repel the barbarians from Bingzhou!" Before the three of them could stand up, a dandy young man started to question.

Xiang Liang, Ji Bu and Banbu looked at each other and smiled bitterly. As expected, they knew that these people were unreliable.

"Reporting to Master Mi Yuan, we have gone out of the city and fought three battles with the Bingzhou army the night before, yesterday and last night!" Ji Bu hurriedly explained, and was also telling Xiang Liang and Ban Bu the identity of this man.

"Oh? No wonder you went to Qi Yang to invite us. Very good, you did a great job. I will definitely tell my father when I get back!" Mi Yuan walked to Ji Bu with a big laugh, patted Ji Bu on the shoulder and praised him.

Ji Bu's face froze. These people only knew about romance and not military affairs. After entering the city, they did not even try to inquire about the news of the army.

"We lost all three battles!" Bambu said in a deep voice.

The originally lively banquet suddenly became deserted.

The young masters who were originally thinking about how to divide the military merit all looked at Bambu.

"Say it again!" Young Master Fu Chu, who was sitting in the main seat in the middle, couldn't help but stand up and walked in front of Banbu.

When they came, they already knew that Bingzhou was only sending 30,000 people this time, but they had an army of 150,000, and the three elite forces of the Chu State were all present.

Xiang Liang hurriedly grabbed Bambu who was about to speak and explained, "We were not well prepared for the attack the night before last and fell into Li Ren's trap, but we also destroyed half of the Bingzhou Vanguard Camp. Yesterday, General Bambu led the Thunder Leopard Corps to confront the Bingzhou Army head-on and beat the Bingzhou Army back. Just last night, the Tenglong Corps took advantage of the situation and attacked the Bingzhou Camp, making the Bingzhou Army dare not attack the city again!"

"Then what does he mean by defeat?" Gongzi Fuchu's expression eased a little, but he still asked sternly.

"If we fail to win, we will lose. General Bambu, as a general appointed by the king, has always been too hard on himself!" Xiang Liang continued to explain, while signaling Ji Bu with his eyes not to let Bambu speak again.

"I see!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their eyes towards Bambu softened a lot.

However, he also began to be wary of Bambu.

Xiang Liang seemed to be pleading for Bambu, but in fact he was telling them that Bambu was the legion commander appointed by the king and his confidant, and they should not mess with him.

Bambu wanted to speak more, but Ji Bu silenced him with a look.

"If you don't want the soldiers to die in vain, stop talking!"

In the end, Bambu didn't say anything else.
