ete collapse.At this moment, Zhao Xuanji's thoughts were surging like tides as he swiftly pondered a countermeasure.But every countermeasure he came up with was immediately vetoed the next second.The...Chapter 1634 They had five thousand men

"Two-legged sheep, what do you mean!"

Huyan Zhuo's tone and gaze were colder than the heaviest snowfall.

Zhao Tailái remained calm, even as the pain of the blade cutting his skin did not cause him to even raise an eyebrow.

Otherwise, do you think that's what I came here for Just to be humiliated and insulted as a two-legged sheep by you

Zhao Tailai's eyes were filled with disdain, as if he were looking at a fool who was oblivious to his own impending doom.

"A great victory was achieved on the front lines. Although the prince had captured the Moon-Shaped Pass, this also scattered the Qin army's defensive forces. However, the Qin army did not give up. They fragmented their forces and began to raid my Liao army everywhere."

One of the detachments penetrated deep into the rear grasslands. Their target was you and your supplies.

Zhao Tailai's words left Huyan Zhuo in a state of bewilderment.

A major victory ahead, he knew.

The Liao army finally captured the Yueya Pass. Such great news was impossible to keep hidden.

But the Qin army was still stubbornly resisting, even flanking to the rear of the Liao army, which Hu Yan Zhuo hadn't expected.

"How many of them are there" Huyan Zhuo exclaimed in astonishment.

Five thousand people.

Zhao Tailai blurted out without hesitation.

Hu Yan's expression immediately brightened.

Five thousand, the number was neither too many nor too few compared to the troops he currently had, an extremely awkward figure.

If there were fewer of them, Huyan Zhuo could completely ignore them. He could kill a few whenever he wanted to, and his 3,800 elite cavalry would be more than enough to wipe them out.

If there were just a few more people, there wouldn't be much to say. We would immediately march rapidly and accelerate our advance, then send a message to the front lines requesting that the prince send reinforcements.

But it happened to hit the node of five thousand people. If you forcefully fight, it's not that you can't fight, but there are risks involved.

If he had to call for help, Huyan Zhuo would have to consider whether his image in the crown prince's eyes would be marred as incompetent.

You need to know that the situation in Langting is becoming increasingly complex. The Emperor's return to Changshengtian's embrace is just a matter of time. Right now, if the Prince takes control of Yueyaguan and the news gets back to Langting, then his ascension to the throne will be unstoppable.

If he were just ignored by the prince, there might still be a way out. But now that the emperor has branded him as incompetent, Hu Yan Zhelie can only find a place to spend his remaining years in peace.

"Your message, is the source accurate" Hu Yan Zuo stared at Zhao Tai Lai, his face full of suspicion.

Zhao Tailai calmly stated: "Do you think the Guza tribe can afford the price of falsifying military intelligence"

This rhetorical question gave Huyan Zhuo a sense of relief.

In the eyes of any normal person, the Guza tribe would absolutely never dare to fabricate military intelligence.

At almost that very moment, a scout rushed back from the front, shouting, "General, we found footprints two miles ahead!"

"How many" Hu Yan Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, realizing this Han man hadn't lied to him. He immediately pressed further.

The scout looked a little embarrassed, and he hesitated before replying, "The snow is falling too heavily. Many footprints have been covered up. From the visible footprints...at least a few thousand people!"

This sentence made Zhao Tai laugh.

Whether the scout was talking nonsense to escape responsibility or someone from Su Pingbei deliberately created these footprints, this information helped him a lot. puts the blame for Hou Yushu's actions on Zhao Xuanji.For how many years had Zhao Xuanji suffered such a lossHis face grew cold, and he said in a stern voice: "General, you have misunderstood.
