I really can't control myself

At this time in Yongjin City, it had been a day and a night since the army set out, and the time was approaching evening again.

The news from afar has naturally not reached Yongjin City at this time. What most of the city residents know is that the small country of Tianfeng Kingdom dares to provoke their General Ma, and they simply do not know whether to live or die. At this time, their 50,000-strong army had just set out yesterday, and it was estimated that they would receive news of Tianfeng Kingdom's surrender soon.

No one could have imagined that at dawn this morning, the 50,000-strong army in their city had been wiped out. However, none of the defeated soldiers had yet reached Yongjin City to report the news.

At this time, in the city lord's palace, Ma Mingyang, the second son of the Ma family who was left behind, didn't sleep well last night. An army of 50,000 was able to overthrow the entire Tianfeng Kingdom. There should be no problem at all in bringing their father back, but he didn't know why he always felt a little panicked.

This strange feeling of panic, in addition to being very strong when the army went out yesterday, seemed to be even more intense this morning. It made him not eat well all day, and he always felt as if something was in his heart. A pressing feeling.

Feeling upset staying in the house, Ma Mingyang thought that although it was getting late, he still wanted to go for a walk to get some fresh air. But just as he was about to go out, a soldier rushed in front of him.

"Report to the Major General, something bad has happened. Our troops seem to have been ambushed." The messenger shouted hurriedly.

"What?" Ma Mingyang jumped up from his seat after hearing this, "What did you say? Was he ambushed? Who was he ambushed by? What's going on now? Tell me clearly!"

"Report, our city patrol troops encountered some broken troops in the east, they seemed to be troops following the major general's expedition. According to what they said, their troops were suddenly attacked by the enemy this morning. As for the specific situation, they It’s not very clear either…”

"Bring them here quickly, and I'll ask them personally!" Ma Mingyang was anxious and said quickly.

If the bad premonition came true, Ma Mingyang was of course anxious. After a quick wait, several people covered in mud were brought to Ma Mingyang.

Ma Mingyang quickly asked several people about the situation, but after asking for a long time, it was obvious that the information he got was very limited.

Yes, these people were the first to escape. Not long after the enemy attacked, these people were so frightened that they started running away. Because these people are all veterans, or to be more precise, veterans. They immediately understood the situation of directly bombing the camp. If they didn't run away, wouldn't they be waiting to die?

They didn't care about armor and weapons at all. These people came up and ran away directly to find horses, so they could escape back as quickly as possible.

To be honest, they had no choice but to come back, and they knew that they were deserters, but their wives, children, and children were all in Yongjin City. Even if they wanted to run away, they had to come back and inform them to run away with them. However, I didn't expect to be so unlucky that I bumped into the city patrol troops. Naturally, they were caught with their strange appearance and brought here directly.

Ma Mingyang anxiously asked where their enemies came from, how many there were, how his elder brother was doing, and how they knew these questions. They ran away as soon as the camp was blown up. How did they know who the enemy was? It is even less possible to know what is happening to their troops now.

This unknown question made Ma Mingyang even more irritable. After asking for a long time, the only thing he knew was that his eldest brother was ambushed by troops who came from nowhere. Now he had no idea what the situation was. I heard it was not good.

"Major General, what should we do now?" At this time, most of the generals who were left behind had also received the notice and gathered at the City Lord's Mansion. Hearing this situation, he quickly asked Ma Mingyang what to do.

In fact, what to do is nothing more than a question of whether to save or not. Now Ma Mingyang has only two choices. One is to take the initiative to lead troops to rescue, and the other is to continue to guard Yongjin City.

Leading troops to rescue is obviously very risky, because now we don't know what the situation is over there, and whether our elder brother has been defeated or defended. If defeated, were they repelled and now on their way back, or were they already surrounded and preparing to break out?

Obviously, if he loses the battle, it would be best for him to take someone out to respond. It's just that we don't know the specific situation now. Apart from these few soldiers who escaped first, there is no other news.

And his original mission here is to defend Yongjin City. In theory, no matter what the situation is outside, he only needs to stay in the city. Even if his eldest brother is defeated, he should still defend the city.

But Ma Mingyang couldn't do it.

This is not just a situation where something will happen to his eldest brother if he is defeated by who knows what force. You must know that his father is still detained by Tianfeng Kingdom. If their troops are defeated, who will take their father back.

What's more, he has been having a bad premonition these past few days, and now he feels that if he doesn't save him, something might happen to his elder brother or even his father.

Of course, Ma Mingyang didn't know that the two people he was worried about were now completely cold, and he was the only direct descendant of the entire Ma family. If he knew the situation, he would definitely not hesitate about whether to attack or not, but he really didn't know now.

"General Cheng, if I take half of the troops to rescue, can you hold the city?" Ma Mingyang asked in confusion at this time.

"You can't do it, Major General." A general wearing armor said immediately, "There are only 8,000 troops in the city now. Even if we bring half of the troops to rescue, it may not have any effect. The enemy can defeat our 50,000 troops. , there are at least tens of thousands of troops, aren’t you going out..."

Although General Cheng hasn't finished speaking yet, the meaning is obvious. Isn't this a gift?

"Are you asking me to do nothing now?" Ma Mingyang is usually a calm person, but now that his father, elder brother and third brother are not here, he is somewhat dizzy.

"Major General, the main reason is that we don't know what the situation is now. Why don't we send the Pegasus team to investigate the situation first and see what the situation is now before we consider it. What do you think?" General Cheng here also found that he had always been calm. The second young master was somewhat out of character at this time and did not dare to persuade him forcefully, so he spoke a little tactfully.

"..." Ma Mingyang thought for a while, calmed down, nodded and said, "Okay, let's send someone to investigate first."

However, Ma Mingyang did not expect that the investigation could be so fast. Not even a quarter of an hour after a Pegasus team left, the latest news was brought back.
