Nine secrets to cover the sky

Chapter 120 Five Kingdoms Reinforcement Arrives

Since ancient times, the outbreak of war has often made the dissemination of information faster.

Because no matter the country that has gone to war or the country that is temporarily at peace, they all hope to get first-hand news about the war, and then make arrangements and respond.

So on the second day of the Battle of the Jin Kingdom, when the people in the imperial city were still talking about that battle, and the enthusiasm for talking about it had not subsided, the process of this battle had already been passed through the teleportation formations, Fast horses and even flying spirit beasts fell like snowflakes into the hands of everyone who cared about the war or one of the forces, and then spread across the entire continent at an unimaginable speed.

All of a sudden, everyone in the Central Plains China turned their attention to the western front, or the imperial city of Jin.

And because of the victory in the Battle of the Imperial City, the morale of the countries in the Central Plains that had been retreating for a long time was greatly boosted. The generals seized the opportunity and began to launch a counterattack against the enemy.The common people, especially Baixin, a country not affected by the war, are more interested in the birth of heroes. was deified.

On the way to the imperial city with all their strength, the Allied Forces of the Five Nations rushed to the imperial city with all their strength. What they heard most was about that battle, especially Fang Jie's heroic deeds.

Not to mention how passionate the soldiers of the Allied Forces of the Five Nations were infected by that battle or the deeds of a certain hero in private, but only the five generals who ran at the front had heard too much about that battle along the way. With that hero, it can be said that the mood is complicated.

Because to be precise, these five people are not real military generals, but most of them are from the royal family. He has read poetry and books, and all of them are romantic and suave top sons.

They were dispatched by their respective monarchs to lead the army to aid the Jin State. Along the way, they secretly fell in love with the beautiful and aloof woman who persuaded the monarchs of the five countries to send troops.

Of course, the five people more or less learned about the relationship between Wu Nu and Fang Jie from their respective monarchs. However, at the beginning, they thought that Fang Jie was just lucky, born with dual lives and had a false name, so they didn't She doesn't take Fang Jie seriously, and only regards the equally young and noble son of the Four Kingdoms as a competitor. She has been jealous all the way, but it's a pity that Wu Nu always ignores them.

Until yesterday, the news about the state of Jin spread throughout the entire continent, and they were also contacted by them on the way, and learned about the detailed process.

At this time, no matter how arrogant they are, they will not think that only 20 soldiers and four heavenly and human three-level masters can hijack the opponent's generals, and use this to repel the coalition forces and bring the entire Western Front war to an end. A person who has made a big reversal, what kind of person will be in vain.

At least as princes of the Five Kingdoms, they couldn't do it no matter what.

They finally understood that Fang Jie was actually the real hero, and they, who were always beyond their reach, fought here like frogs in a well, like clowns.At the same time, they finally realize that they will never be worthy of their daughter who always ignores them.

So from then on on the road, their hearts were very uncomfortable, and they were much quieter because of this.

In this way, on the afternoon of the second day of the battle to defend the imperial city, the five-nation reinforcements led by Wu Nu and the son of the five countries finally rushed to the foot of the imperial city from the east.

Soon, the west city gate creaked open.

The Prince of the Five Kingdoms, who first entered the city, saw the vigor and confidence of the people and soldiers in the city just after the victory. , and the heart is complicated.

At the same time, the soldiers and common people on the city wall saw that there were 30 soldiers from the five countries densely packed outside the city, and they couldn't help reporting and cheering.

Soon, surrounded by Zhao Zidan and his group, Fang Jie, still in a Confucian shirt, appeared very conspicuously, and then walked to Wu Nu's carriage.

So the white cloth curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the woman with a smile on her face came out.

Fang Jie hurriedly got up to serve, helped Wu Nu out of the carriage, and said with a smile: "Thank you."

And Wu Nu shyly brushed her hair by her ears, then shook her head with a smile.

This performance fell into the eyes of the princes of the Five Kingdoms. He was envious of Fang Energy for letting Wunv show such expressions and actions, and at the same time, he was also jealous of Fang Energy putting down his airs of being a great hero and treating himself so tenderly on such an occasion. woman.Once again, I feel inferior.

But at this time, Fang Jie, who was helping the woman, set his eyes on the prince of the Five Kingdoms, smiled and cupped his hands, and said: "Everyone has worked hard too."

So the princes of the five countries got off their horses one after another, and returned to the court.

Immediately, Hong Cheng, the son of the prime minister who had just rushed back, took the initiative to come out to express his gratitude to the five countries for their assistance, and Zhao Zidan had already taken several generals to settle the 30 troops from the five countries that had just arrived outside the city. While talking in a whisper, the girl brought the sons of the Five Kingdoms back to Fang Mansion amidst the cheers of the common people.

Not long after entering the Fang Mansion, the princes of the Five Kingdoms saw a group of special people—they all looked dull and dull, but everyone who came and went by them avoided them in awe, and looked carefully, You will find that each of them has a faintly identical tattoo on their chest.

Mr. Zhao Guo couldn't bear to ask Hong Cheng: "Is this the undead warrior?"

With some pride in Hong Cheng's reserved smile, he whispered to the interested Prince of the Five Kingdoms: "Yes, and this is only part of it."

When the princes of the Five Kingdoms heard the words, they could no longer take their eyes off these people.

In fact, the legend about the undead warrior who entered and exited from the 20 army and seized three Tiangang Qi ballistas like a bag, during this period of time in the Central Plains China, is another obsessed person next to Fang Jie. topic.

The princes of the Five Kingdoms had heard about it a long time ago, and now that they saw it, they were naturally very envious. Almost all of them secretly thought in their hearts, how great it would be if they had such a team...

Soon, Fang Jie and Wu Nu came to the living room with the princes of the Five Kingdoms. At this time, the prime minister was also here, so they sat down after getting to know each other.

The prime minister smiled wryly and said to Wu Nu: "The three of us went out together to ask for reinforcements, and you were the only one who managed to get them, and you also invited 30 troops from the five countries. Speaking of which, I am a little embarrassed to have returned empty-handed. "As he spoke, he looked at Hong Cheng and said with a smile, "Really?"

Hong Cheng nodded embarrassingly.

And Wu Nu knew that the prime minister was joking, so she just smiled and said nothing.

But the sons of the Five Kingdoms couldn’t sit still, especially the sons of Zhao Guo, who heard the words: “The soldiers and civilians of the Jin Kingdom are guarding the gates of the western front for our Five Kingdoms. It is really our fault to send someone to invite you.”

Hearing this, the princes of the other four countries also nodded one after another, and stood up at the same time, apologizing to everyone present.

This kind of demeanor made the prime minister look at each other with admiration, and said with a smile: "You five are worthy of the name, you can come, you don't come sooner or later, as long as you come, we Jin people are very happy, and hope that we can fight against the enemy together in the future , to protect Jin, and to protect the Five Kingdoms."

The princes of the Five Kingdoms just sat down after hearing the words, and the prince Zhao asked: "Although everything is based on the orders of the marshal, and the five of us are supplementary, we have just come here after all, and we are not familiar with the whole war, so we still have to worry about it." Prime Minister, tell us the current situation."

But the prime minister was taken aback when he heard the words: "Marshal?" Then he looked at Wu Nu.

Fang Jie couldn't help looking at Wu Nu and said, "I'm just a city guard, but you're actually the marshal of the Five Nations Allied Forces?"

Wu Nu, who had been silent all this time, glanced at Fang Jie, who was talking nonsense, and said to everyone: "I'm a girl, of course I can't take up the position of Marshal, but because of the trust of His Majesty the Emperors of the Five Kingdoms, it's up to you all to make decisions about the war." That's fine, I can only make suggestions occasionally." Then he said to the Prime Minister, "Prime Minister, it's up to you to talk about the current situation, we all want to know."

The prime minister glanced at Wu'er approvingly after hearing the words, and then said: "After the battle of defending the imperial city, Fang Jie captured the leader of the opponent, so in the last two days, the Xirong coalition forces have been hundreds of miles away and have not invaded. But tomorrow, when the agreed deadline comes, the supreme commander of the West Front of the Xirong Allied Forces will come to redeem that leader, and we must also keep our promise and hand over the man to the Xirong Allied Forces. So after tomorrow, the war will become normal, I believe it will not be long , the Xirong Allied Forces will make a comeback and continue to attack our imperial city."

Mr. Zhao Guo asked: "I don't know how many troops the opponent will have when they attack again?"

The old prime minister said: "Everyone brought a total of 30 people, plus the 5 to 40 people in the imperial city and the 20 or 300 remnants recently gathered. Our army should be about 30. The Xirong coalition army, which attacked the emperor before There are [-] people in the city, but there are more than [-] million troops on the entire western front. So after the defeat, the other party knows that we have reinforcements to join, and it can be said that it is very easy to dispatch another [-] to [-] people. Affect the entire Western Front, and more people can be transferred at any time."

Mr. Cai was surprised when he heard this: "How can Xi Rong have so many soldiers?"

The prime minister smiled bitterly, and Fang Jie explained: "Their warriors use the best training materials, and their number is only one-tenth of the total population, and the rest are not allowed to practice martial arts except those who maintain the country's operation. All join the army, that's why there is such a large army."

The princes of the Five Kingdoms fell silent when they heard the words, and after a while, the princes Zhao frowned and said, "That is to say, our numbers still don't have the upper hand?"

The old prime minister's expression became serious, and he said: "At least judging from the current situation, the countries around the Jin Kingdom are losing ground in the entire Western Front war. Going to a relatively difficult battlefield does not affect the overall situation."

Fang Jie said at this time: "If within the next few days, the other battlefields on the entire western front can stop defeating and win at least a few games, and put some pressure on the Western Rong coalition forces, it will not be so easy to deploy troops. We will The pressure to bear is also relatively much lower.”

The old prime minister nodded first, then sighed, and said, "But the problem is, even though the morale of the countries on the western front has been greatly boosted by the success of the defense of the imperial city, we still dare not say that these morale The increase will make the situation easier. So whether they can win a few battles and relieve our pressure is still unknown."

Speaking of this, the princes of the Five Kingdoms, Fang Jie, Wu Nu, the old prime minister and Hong Cheng all fell silent.

Because what the old prime minister said was very clear, even if the reinforcements had arrived, the future fate of the imperial city was still unknown.

After a long time, Mr. Zhao sighed and said, "It seems that the situation we are about to face is very serious."

The old prime minister smiled and said: "Everyone here, don't be too negative. After all, compared to the entire Central Plains China being retreating steadily, we have already won a game. What's more, we still have the opportunity to seize the war from the Xirong Allied Forces." The Tiangang Qi ballista and two fourth-level spirit beasts are not equipped by ordinary countries. It is no exaggeration to say that the ballista and spirit beasts are worth [-] troops, and we still have the capital. "

Being said so, the prince of the Five Kingdoms knew that the old prime minister intended to comfort him, but he didn't want the atmosphere to be too gloomy, so the prince of Zhao Guo first laughed and said: "I always heard about crossbows and fourth-level spirit beasts along the way, and the five of us all wanted to I want to be able to see it quickly, I wonder if the Prime Minister is planning for us to take a look?"

"We are all a family now, and these things can be used together, let alone look at them?" The prime minister smiled, and then winked at Hong Cheng.

Hong Cheng understood, took the initiative to stand up, and led the princes of the Five Kingdoms down.

Fang Jie, Wu Nu, and the old prime minister were left behind, and after a glance, the old prime minister said: "Now, let's discuss what kind of ransom to give to the Xirong coalition army, so that it will be as beneficial to us as possible."

Both Fang Jie and Wu Nu nodded.
