my unparalleled way

Chapter 982 The Death of Zong Yue
Xue Chen's reaction was extremely fast. When he heard the news of the arrival of the enemy army, he immediately called up the generals and made a stance of standing firm.

But just when the Southern Qi army set up camp five miles away from the city, intending to wait for other friendly troops to arrive, nearly 30 Yue Kingdom troops suddenly rushed out of the city.

The 30 Southern Qi army who planned to bury the pot to make food after arriving outside the city during the Laoshi expedition was caught off guard by this situation and was smashed to pieces.

They never dreamed that in the face of such a powerful and unparalleled battle from their own side, the opponent would dare to take the initiative to attack instead of defending Zhouxi City.

In just half an hour, 14 Southern Qi troops were strangled outside the city, while the Yue Kingdom army only suffered more than [-] casualties.

But that's all there is to it.

If possible, Xue Chen hopes to expand the results of the battle infinitely and completely wipe out the 30 Southern Qi troops.

However, he was forced to return to the army in the end, because spies reported that another 30 Southern Qi troops appeared in the east.

At that time, there were only [-] defenders in Zhouxi City. In order to prevent accidents, he could only retreat into the city.

He already felt something was wrong, the arrival of the 60 Southern Qi army was too strange.

You know, it is impossible for the Southern Qi Kingdom to have an extra 60 troops out of thin air, unless the troops from the eastern and western theaters are transferred here.

However, those two roads were not originally in charge of the Northeast Theater and Northwest Theater of Yue Kingdom?How could they let these Nanqi people leave?

Even if they were allowed to leave, how could there be no news at all?

He is well aware of the combat strength of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, Ye Qian and Yecheng father and son are in the Northwest, and there has been no mistake in the past twenty years.And the Northeast is the territory of my father Xue Xuan!

Moreover, there is the biggest strange thing!
What kind of battle is the 30 army?Even if the enemy troops lie down day and night along the way, they will not leak a single word across a distance of [-] to [-] miles.

No matter how well the enemy is hiding and how late your own news is, when the enemy is approaching Zhouxi City hundreds of miles away, you should get the information.

But no, when I got the news, the enemy army was only ten miles away from Zhouxi city!
He can be sure that even before Lin Si left, he did not know the news, otherwise he would not choose to leave Zhouxi City, let alone remind himself.

How ridiculous is this?If you are so slow-witted every time you fight, then even the God of War will not be able to win. This is equivalent to fighting the enemy blindfolded!

Standing on the top of the city, looking at the two Southern Qi armies that had gradually stabilized, his sword eyebrows gradually frowned.

He turned around slowly and looked at the generals behind him.

At this time, there was one more thing in the eyes of everyone looking at him, and that was conviction.

The decisive chase out of the city just now, and the decisive retreat, seemed simple, but contained the ability to accurately grasp the timing.

They also finally understood why Lin Si appointed Xue Chen as the commander-in-chief of the army when Lin Si left.

"Wuwei General Zong Yue, you need an explanation." Xue Chen's gaze was directed at the tall figure in front of the crowd.

After he uttered these words, many generals finally realized that they could think of some things that Xue Chen could think of.

There was a huge problem with their intelligence.

It is almost certain that someone deliberately cut off the news of the enemy's advance, and it seems that only Zong Yue can do this.

Because he was in charge of intelligence and investigation, and he was the leader of the scout appointed by Lin Si himself.

Before that, everyone had never doubted him.Zong Yue is a serious person and doesn't have many friends.But in the northern army, he is still very convincing. He is calm and resolute, and after everything is entrusted to him, people will feel at ease.

He is not favoritism, does not slack off, dares to take risks, dares to risk his life, he can almost be regarded as a model soldier of the Moon Kingdom.

Even though they had already guessed a certain possibility, they still couldn't believe it, so that no one took the initiative to question him for a while.

In particular, many of them already knew that Zong Yue's father was Zong Yuan, the military hero of Yue Kingdom 20 years ago.

Facing everyone's complicated gazes, Zong Yue, who was dressed in armor, slowly stepped forward two steps.

"Yes, I did it." He said blankly.

This sentence almost drove everyone crazy.

"why?"

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing?"

"You are collaborating with the enemy and treason! You shameless scum!"

"How did His Highness treat you, you actually repay him like this?"

"You will become a sinner of the entire Moon Kingdom, you have tarnished your father's name!"

Even Fuyao had an expression of disbelief.

He asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Zong, why? Why did you do this? I don't believe this is the task His Highness gave in advance!"

He couldn't believe that Zong Yue would betray. In his opinion, even if everyone rebelled, Zong Yue was unlikely.

He still remembered what Zong Yue had said, he supported Lin Si so much, didn't he?

There was a gleam of pain in Zong Yue's eyes, which soon turned into relief: "It's true, I did it on my own. I didn't collaborate with the enemy, but I committed treason. I did this for my father."

"For your father? Do you know what you are talking about? A hero like your father..."

"Yeah! Hahahaha!" Zong Yue suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, his condensed face that had remained unchanged for nearly ten thousand years finally became distorted: "Heroes, I also thought so when I was young. From the day I can remember, I have known He is a hero, I have always been proud of him, and I have always aimed at him! Even though, he has long been forgotten by the world..."

"Then why... did you do this?"

"Ha, that's a good question! I used to think that dying for the country was an incomparably sacred thing! It wasn't until half a year ago that I met a thousand cavalry commander who had served in Yincheng. I finally understood, that It's all bullshit! Hahaha..."

Everyone has gradually been immersed in his words, and they have vaguely heard some bad signs from it.

"He confided a secret to me that day. It turned out that my heroic father was not dead at all! Hahahaha! He single-handedly killed him from the fire, and ended up living in the grassland country. Grassland herdsmen I didn’t know him, but I still took him in.”

"What? Your father is still alive?" Fuyao exclaimed.

If Zong Yuan is still alive, it should cause a great commotion when he returns to Yue Kingdom.At least in those years, Zong Yuan was a well-known figure in the Yue Kingdom.

Zong Yue smiled: "Ha, that's a good question! He was recovering from his injuries for a month, and finally decided to return to the Moon Kingdom and continue to serve that army. But before that day, that tribe was discovered by the Moon Kingdom vanguard army. Look To his own people, my father greeted him happily.

On that night, he was secretly executed by the superior general.That tribe was annihilated, and that vanguard army was dispatched far to the hinterland of the grassland country to carry out the mission of death...

Ha, this is the hero.He is a hero when he is dead.If he comes back to life, and is still saved by the prairie people, then he is a sinner..."

Fuyao didn't know what to say anymore.

Many people gradually lowered their heads. Although this incident was extremely unbelievable, they seemed to have guessed the reason. After all, they were all middle and upper-level generals, and they could already see many problems clearly.

After Zong Yuan was 'died in battle', the Moon King personally conferred him as a battle hero, and his deeds inspired countless soldiers at that time.The ministers who originally opposed this battle were silent, and his deeds made the entire Yue Kingdom united.

At this point in the story, even though it is a sad song, but after all... a good result, right?

It's just a pity that Zong Yuan survived, and was rescued by the enemy people.

If this matter gets out, the color of this Yue Kingdom battle hero will fade away in an instant.The role he originally played before will change.Some people may even think that he is collaborating with the enemy and treason...

And in the end, if Zong Yuan, who had made great contributions, really came back alive and appeared in the eyes of the public, he would definitely rise to the top and surpass some people, right?

After the superior officer at the time learned of all this, he chose the cruelest solution - to kill everyone, including this battle hero.

In this way, he is still a dead battle hero, and his deeds will still inspire many soldiers of the Moon Kingdom and the people in the rear.

"God's will, the Qianqi commander of the vanguard army survived nine deaths! God wants me to know the truth. Is it because my father doesn't want me to continue being so ignorant? Hahahaha, that's what I do for The country I guard, this is the army I serve for! It's so ugly! Why do they need to exist?"

"That's just his one-sided opinion after all, maybe it's a conspiracy..." Fuyao said softly.

Zong Yue smiled silently: "For the past six months, I have been secretly investigating this matter. Unfortunately, everything is true..."

Everyone didn't know what to say. They asked themselves, Zong Yue would collapse if they were themselves?Why couldn't they see how much Zong Yue had a deep affection for his father and how much he admired him!
That is almost a bright light that has illuminated his journey in the past 20 years...

Keng!
The sound of the long sword being unsheathed broke the silence for a moment. Xue Chen, whose face remained unchanged, said without the slightest emotion: "This is the reason why you betrayed us? State and all soldiers of the Moon State?"

"Yes." Zong Yue's face gradually calmed down, he nodded, and did not draw his sword to fight

"Concealing military information and not reporting it is punishable by law. Do you have anything else to say?"

"No more." Zong Yue shook his head.

Fuyao slowly closed his eyes. The last 'confrontation' between No. 1 and No. [-] of Academy City actually ended like this.

This made him very uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say.

……

As the sky darkened, the situation had become more dangerous.

Although the problem has been identified and eliminated, the consequences have already been sown.

At this time, Zhouxi City was besieged on all sides, and the 30 troops of the Qingchuan Kingdom and the 30 troops of the Tianhe Kingdom rushed here one after another.

Zhouxi City was already besieged on all sides, and there was no way out.

In terms of troop strength, the Moon Army had only 33 troops, while the Southern Qi Qingchuan Tianhe Allied Army had no fewer than one million troops.

In the past, although the enemy's lineup was strong, they were not without ways to deal with it.After all, these enemy troops did not arrive on the same route at the same time, but now, when they learned of all this, it was already too late.

In particular, many masters of the heavenly realm appeared in the enemy formation, which made everyone feel desperate.
