Chapter 579

2014-08-16

(ps: one content, the last name is combined into one chapter! Well, this chapter needs to connect many of the previous details, So it is more difficult to code.. Then... please recommend a ticket. ^-^)

Angros, this surname has a northern taste, and there are not many people who know this name. But if you change the name, such as - An Shuai! That is, the highest commander who leads the army in the Northern Wilderness, so there are many people who know...

There was a half-sound silence, the suddenly tense body slowly eased, Ralph let out a light breath, his eyes lowered. , his face was quiet: "The marshal has known it for a long time."

"It's not very early, you have stayed in Zichen Legion for 18 years, from an ordinary soldier to today's general position step by step. I only confirmed it thirteen years ago. At that time, I was just preparing for the ninth army." Looking up slightly, Ziyi looked a little wistful, and did not take any precautionary action, "Actually, if you are just being an undercover agent, no Gathering information vigorously, I may not be able to discover your true identity. But Angros is too greedy, cough cough, or it is a last resort..."

Cough a few times, shock the head , tapped his fingers and said calmly, "Beijing has been working hard for the past few years, and great changes have been made, especially in the military. But the environment and climate are there, and food is always a big problem. There are times when the prey cannot be caught, and the soldiers always You need to eat and have battle strength. More than ten years ago, you received an order from Angros to intervene in smuggling. You quickly opened up the north-south smuggling channel by relying on your identity, and transported countless supplies to Beihuang, becoming a mysterious person in the mouths of those smuggling nobles… ...Although you are secretive and protective measures are not one drop of water can leak out, Titus has not suspected you in several large-scale investigations. But it is complicated after all, and there are weak spots to find."

"so that's how it is..." nodded, Ralph looked stunned and bowed slightly, "Thank you! Thank you Marshal for telling me, it won't make me confused."

"You're welcome. With a calm expression, Ziyi's face did not reveal the joy of the undercover agent, but instead showed some faint regret, "It's been more than ten years, you and I... there's still time, don't rush to bite the poisonous tooth in your mouth. .Well, don't you want to clarify all the doubts of heart?"

"Uh..." The teeth that were about to bite were released suddenly, Ralph's body was shaken, and he looked at Ziyi's eyes a little dazed, Immediately, there were a few traces of self-deprecation at the corners of his mouth, "So this marshal also knows...hehe, it seems that my undercover job really failed..."

"No." Shaking his head gently, Ziyi looked Turn to solemn, "Look at the Caesar Continent, look through all the history books, no undercover agent is more successful than you!"

"It takes wisdom to decide on issues, and patience to implement it. No matter what it is, I have been doing it silently for more than ten years, and no one dares to say that it is a failure. Even more how, I still have fangs in my mouth, and it lasts for more than ten years. During this period, I cannot Drinking alcohol, unable to chew or swallow quickly, unable to speak continuously, or even violent facial expressions. Silent Eagle, Silent Eagle...cough cough...I'm not as much as you! "

Ralph was silent when he heard the words, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he pulled out a slight smile, as if he had accepted this compliment. Of course, no one in the world can understand the mouth except him. It contains the taste of life for more than ten years with poisonous teeth, and this praise is indeed well deserved!

Coughing a few times, Ziyi covered his mouth and nose and got up, walked a few steps to the curtain, Turning his head: "Let's go, and finally accompany me out for a walk, and if you have any doubts in your heart, feel free to ask me. "

When the words were finished, he opened the curtain and walked out. Ralph did not object, stood up silently, picked up the purple fluffy cloak beside him, and followed Ziyi quietly, just as he has been for more than ten years. I did that.

The boundless twilight gradually came, and the darkness all around was not much brighter than in the tent. The cold wind swept through, Ziyi's body tightened slightly, and he let out a long breath. Ralph stepped forward. He took a few steps to put the cloak on Ziyi, and then took a half step behind and walked silently aside.

The nine army soldiers not far away were still setting up, and it seemed that the end had come. Some soldiers indifferently drew out their cold light war knives. , make preparations for an attack. But at this time, no one came to ask about the combat strategy.

"Over the years, I know that you have been trying to find out the situation of the Ninth Army, thinking that this is my ace army. . Squinting looking towards the nine army soldier not far away, Ziyi tightened the collars on both sides of the cloak and said, "Actually, the so-called nine army is just a simple experiment of mine. Well, you know, since I entered Xiongguan City, I have been very busy. More than a decade ago, I gathered many elite soldiers and Battle Qi experts in one place, and wanted to knead them together to form a special team with a small number of people, but with key destructive power. "

smacking his lips, "As a result, tsk tsk, of course it failed. Those soldiers in the original team who were either very flexible in their minds or had extremely strong battle strength, not only failed to produce any superposition effect, but were greatly inferior. After several attempts, this idea ultimately failed. At that time I was wondering if my thinking went wrong and I walked into a dead end... Well, it shouldn't be the case, maybe it's just that I'm not smart enough. Because not long ago I saw a guy who succeeded in perfecting this vision, and the team battle strength was as strong as I expected, accomplishing an incredible feat. "

He supported his forehead, "Oh, that's bad... After that failure, I changed my mind." Do not seek complicated ideas, but only seek to be close to the war itself, the simpler the better. Well, war is, in the final analysis, a confrontation between people, and things like conspiracy are just appendages. Humans are also the most complicated. Just like the previous Battle Qi experts, they are very powerful and can often compete with ten, but they must be proud of their talents and can form cooperation with their peers. As for people with agile minds, they know the important surnames to cooperate with, and their ideas are very lively. If they are placed in an army alone, their ingenuity can often lead the team to win the battle. But when the war situation is in adversity, their thoughts are more complicated than ordinary soldiers. They don't think about cutting off one's means of retreat to save the situation, but always think about how to avoid the crisis through other methods..."

"You all know what happened after that, I scrambled to recruit orphans, homeless people, etc. They have nothing to worry about, and their ideas are very simple. As long as they have a bite to eat and a coat to shelter from the cold, they can do anything. And I can give them all, including the Battle Qi Mantra that I collected. All they have to do is train according to my plan, keep training... After more than ten years, they will become the ninth army in front of us. Well, this is their first real battle. What the result will be, we will find out later. "

Ralph's expression moved slightly when he heard the words, looking at these indifferent soldiers who seemed to be in the cold all over his body, he couldn't help nodding, and finally knew the reason for their appearance. Under the heart, there is no need to wait for the battle It's over, Ralph has already anticipated the outcome of this battle. When a person is trained to ignore his own life, who would dare to fight against them?

"Hehe, okay. After listening to me so much, it is time for you to ask your doubts. With a chuckle, Ziyi turned his head and said.

Nodding, after pondering for a while, Ralph raised his head and asked, "Does the marshal know what I did?" "

"That's certainly impossible, um, which aspect?" "

"Xiongguan City." "

"Oh, I know that." Nodding slightly, Ziyi said calmly, "A few days ago, I decided to go out of Xiongguan City to reinforce the Cangyan defense area, and then you passed the news to Angros and asked for the second army to be stationed. After this order is approved by me, you will transfer most of the soldiers of Zichen Second Army to the edge of the defense zone, leaving only cronies stationed in the city gates of each city. ”

His eyes gradually drooped, although after his identity was revealed, Ralph knew that his secret arrangement might have been fully seen, but when Ziyi said it in a coherent manner, his face was still irrepressible. There was a hint of shock and sadness.

“Marshal gave up Xiongguan City? "

"It's also not, cough cough..." He coughed again, and his face flushed, "I announced in front of you that I would transfer the army to another place, but it wasn't. They are now stationed in the mountain range fifty kilometers away from Xiongguan City. Once the barbarians enter Xiongguan City, they will immediately take over the four satellite cities, clearing out your cronies and blocking the barbarian army coming from behind. "

Ralph frowned: "This can only block the peripheral offensive, what about the barbarians in Xiongguan City?" Although I don't know who leads this barbarian army, whether it's An Shuai, Tiu, or a deputy commander, they will at least bring several thousand soldiers..."

He interrupted with a wave of his hand, "Yes Tiu, a total of eight thousand barbarians. "

"Huh? Ralph couldn't help but look surprised when he heard this, knowing that he stayed with Ziyi for the past few days, and the current marching route has also been changed. In other words, they are now alone, and simply have not received any income. Any news from the rear.

Seeing Ralph's doubts, Ziyi explained with a smile: "hehe, this is easy to guess. In terms of distance, Angros, who started first, was undoubtedly the fastest to arrive. But he leads the army calmly, and his surname is cautious and suspicious... Well, to put it mildly, Angros and I have played against me for more than ten years. Even if there are no secret fights, there have been several face-to-face fights, and he has never won. . Well, he is a little bit afraid of me. Although there is the temptation to take Zichen headquarters into the city, from another point of view, it is also to go deep alone, he dare not! In this way, it is natural to arrive later, the most advanced city of Tiu, which has been circling around the Zichen Defense Zone. "

"Of course, this is just speculation. Specifically, we have to wait until we pass the level in front of us and go around from the side to the position I just showed you on the map. Well, that is, according to our original route, the most likely to be ambushed. Not the old friend Angros waiting for me there. "

Ralph's throat moved slightly, and Ralph shook his head with a wry smile. Although Ziyi was only talking about guesswork, of course Ralph, who is familiar with his surname Ge, knew that if he was not sure of success, he would not say it at all. Exit.

"As for Tiu and the 8,000 barbarians in the city, they have no chance to run to the hinterland of the defense zone. When he leaves Xiongguan City, he will find that there are more than 100,000 soldiers waiting in front of him. them. "

"impossible." Ralph shook his head when he heard the words, and said incredulously, "One hundred thousand? There are not so many Zichen soldiers around Xiongguan City. "

Don't forget, Ralph is also a member of Zichen Legion, and he is also a general. Previously, Zichen's army was temporarily withdrawn, and he set off with Ziyi that afternoon, There is no time for verification. But the other Zichen 7th and 8th armies without reinforcements are indeed around the defense zone. Not to mention whether they can arrive in time, even if they come, there are as many as 100,000 soldiers.

"That's right, 100,000 soldiers, but not necessarily Zichen soldiers. After the words were finished, Ziyi continued, watching Ralph's expression startled suddenly, "To be more precise, it was the 100,000 soldiers assembled by the four northern lords collectively... Thinking about when I contacted the four lords?" Well, remember last year's Divine Grace? I once went back to Shanhaicheng in the rear, and you were leading the order to encircle and suppress the Grey Cloth Armed Force. "

The four lords don't listen to the tune, and their soldiers are naturally not easy to borrow. Even if it is the king's life from the capital of Titus, they still dare to play some small tricks and perfunctory things. But as long as They are in the north, Ziyi's face must be given, not to mention this kind of visiting in person.

"Hehe..." shrugged in frustration, Ralph sighed with a wry smile, "It turns out that The marshal had long anticipated today's situation and was fully prepared. It's ridiculous that my undercover agent didn't know anything about it, and he was so cooperative..."

"No. "Ziyi shook the head, looked up deeply exhaled, and looked a little wistful, "Huh...whether you believe it or not, even if you already knew your true identity, even if you already knew what you smuggled into the mountains of Beihuang materials would bring to Titus trouble...cough cough...but I didn't make any plans before returning to Shanhaicheng last year. You know, my health has been getting worse and worse in recent years, and it will only last for another year or two at most. Originally, I planned to stay in Xiongguan City, struggling on whilst at death's door until death..."

After a while, looked towards Ralph who looked shocked, "With your current undercover level, you must be there. Beihuang's identity is not low, and he should know some things about me. Well, at least I know the reason why I go back to Shanhaicheng every year on the Divine Grace Festival. That's right, I set up a chess booth there, just like she did more than ten years ago, oh, and also put up a very mocking sign, hehe..."

He chuckled a few times, like Recalling something, Ziyi looked very happy, "I set up a chess booth there for fourteen years, and I told myself that if I lose one day, I will go to her... Last year's Divine Grace Day On the last day, I lost, and I was convinced that I lost! I don't know if this is the will of God, let me lose the chess game in the last remaining time, but I have a wish..."

"I then visited the four lords and borrowed troops from them. After returning, immediately crack down on smuggling on a large scale, closing all smuggling channels you opened before. Well, like I said before. The food in the Beihuang is too scarce, and it has been possible to rely on your smuggling channel for these years to develop smoothly to the current point. Now that these passages are all cut off by me, it is undoubtedly strangled by the throat. Unsurprisingly, Angros attacked with all the fallen troops..."

"Hey..." He gasped coldly, Rao had the composure he had been forced out of In his mind, Ralph's scalp was numb, and his body was like falling into an ice cellar.

Who would have thought! Now the fierce battle situation on the front line, where people are killed and the flames are everywhere, is actually controlled by Ziyi behind the scenes. The so-called turning hands into clouds and covering hands into rain is just that!

Boom...Boom...Boom...

I'm stuck here When there was a brief silence, there were bursts of explosions not far away. Ralph subconsciously turned his head, only to realize that nine army soldiers had launched an attack, and the violent explosions came from those strange weapons.

There are two half-kneeling soldiers next to each weapon, one opens the movable iron door of the black box below, puts in the oval explosive crystal, and closes the iron door. The other soldier adjusts the angle and presses the small wrench , bang, the whole body of the weapon trembled, and a flash of Rapid Speed rushed out of the metal pipe opening, and then the city wall of the level several miles away suddenly exploded.

The entire flowing action only took a few seconds, before waiting. Ralph came back to his senses, and the next exploding crystal filled in again... But within a few minutes, with the continuous explosion, the city wall of the small level in the distance collapsed, sending up bursts of gray fog.

The line of defense is broken...

"Kill! "A short, coldly shouted sounded, and the nine army soldiers in pitch-black armor rushed forward silently. Under the twilight, silhouette doubt, like a dark torrent, unstoppable!

"There are fewer experiments, the exact last name is It's still almost..." Looking at the city wall that was completely destroyed in the distance, Ziyi murmured in a low voice, as if he was still a little dissatisfied.

The corner of Ralph's mouth twitched a few times, although he hadn't seen it yet. The melee performance of the nine army soldiers, but just based on the situation in front of him, he no longer has any confidence in An Shuai who wants to ambush.

shook the head, looked away, Ziyi turned his head and asked: " Any doubts? "

Taking a deep breath, Ralph suddenly grinned widely, revealing a rather bright smile: "And the last one, um, what to do in Xiongguan City?" "

The body was shocked, Ziyi looked at Ralph with a certain sadness. With such a large mouth movement, there is no doubt that Ralph has already bit the fangs!

Wei Wei sighed, "Tiu can't get anything, remember old Jill, the veteran gatekeeper in front of my house? When the city breaks down, he will set fire to the house..."

"I'm asking..." Interrupting the words, Ralph's mouth oozes dark red blood, and his expression is still calm: "The city What to do with the thousands of Titus commoners here? I know Tiu's surname, and you must know that too, he will definitely choose Tucheng! "

Nodding slightly, Ziyi didn't deny it, squinting her eyes slightly: "I don't have enough time, I prepared this plan too hastily, even more how to hide from your eyes, cough cough..."

His body trembled and his cough was a little violent, and then he was forcibly suppressed again. Ziyi squatted and looked into the distance with an inexplicable expression: "I have guaranteed their stable life for more than 20 years, and now, I only I want to be selfish before I die, but I have a little wish..."

"Just for this?"

"Just for this!"

"Well , Thank you Marshal for answering all my doubts. Phew..." He opened his mouth and spit out black blood, but the corners of Ralph's mouth were still raised, and he barely raised his thumb, "hehe, Marshal, hū chī...you are really crazy... ... a lunatic..."

He murmured in a low voice, his pupils dilated, then his eyes closed and he fell on his back. Stepping sideways, Ziyi reached out and hugged Ralph's body, letting the black blood stain the purple fluffy cloak. Half-sound, motionless, like a sculpture in the twilight.

The soft words scattered with the wind, "Actually, I'm not a lunatic...I'm just a coward who has never dared to face reality..."
