I'm playing tricks in Daqin

The Jin army's Ye Bu Shou team had just stepped onto the reed gorge cautiously, when the sound of bowstrings suddenly sounded, and a dense rain of arrows shot out from the dense reeds, shooting nine of them down on the spot, and the expressions of the remaining three changed drastically , ignoring his injured comrade, hurried to the boat.

A few black shadows suddenly appeared in the mud that they walked through just now, and a cold light flashed, and the three Yebushou fell down screaming.

A big man whose whole body was covered with mud, only his eyes and nostrils were exposed, said in a low voice, "Master, I'm so glad."

The clay figurines around him all nodded at the same time, if the young master hadn't let them hide in the mud and set up an ambush, the enemy Ye Bushou might have escaped.

Li Wei and Meng Hai, the deputy commander of the Special Special Service, came out of the dense reeds and gave orders in a low voice. Two teams dressed in Jin Imperial Army uniforms took several small boats and headed to the other side of the river.

The mighty Jin Empire invaded the Zhou Empire, and captured several important towns of the Zhou Empire. The kings of the mainland empires felt a strong sense of crisis, and all sent large troops, or sent large troops into the Wei Empire to help, or directly attacked the Jin Empire. The country puts pressure on the Jin Empire. This is a changing continental battle, but it is also full of opportunities.

How could Li Wei, who always likes to fish in troubled waters, miss such a good opportunity?

Not only was the [-] troops stationed at Shaoguan by the second brother-in-law Tang Tianhe, he spent a lot of money to build it, but he hadn't completed the training yet. The [-] tiger and leopard cavalry and the [-] elite Jiayue infantry who were going to be eliminated all secretly gathered in Shaoguan. Waiting for the opportunity Jiang.

The night before, Li Wei had sneaked into the Reed Stream with Meng Hai's No. [-] Special Ye Bu Shou Brigade to ambush. After clearing out several groups of Jin Army Ye Bu Shou teams who were searching, he dispatched two Ye Bu Shou squads in Jin Army uniforms. The team swaggered to the other side by boat to inquire about intelligence.

Nearly midnight, the first team returned safely. After reporting the situation, they were responsible for guiding the first special brigade to cross the river first. After controlling Lijiadu in the lower reaches of Lintong, the big ship carried the infantry across the river.

After the first batch of 2000 infantry troops successfully landed at Lijiadu, the empty ship returned upstream and continued to transport the troops. This time, the big ship carried thirty Thunder chariots with a range longer than that of the riprap. Fifty thunder chariots and ten catapults were also set up here. Once the action was leaked, giant arrows and boulders as thick as arms were used to block the river, preventing the Jin army's navy warships from attacking their own troop carriers.

When the sky brightened, the smuggling of the Jiayue Mansion army was finally discovered by a team of the Jin army that did not accept them at night. However, at this time, the [-] Jiayue Mansion troops that landed successfully had already built a solid defensive position in the Lijiadu area overnight.

A Jin army of 2 men attacked from Lintong to attack the Jiayue government army at Lijiadu, and the Jin army navy with a hundred medium-sized warships as the main force went down the river to attack the Jiayue provincial government's troop carrier.

When the main fleet approached the reed stream, it was attacked by catapults and thunder chariots. As long as it was hit by a huge stone, the wooden warship would shatter and sink, which made the Jin army's sailors tremble with fear. The most striking thing was the giant arrows with thick arms, which were not only dense, but also had terrifying penetration power. The three large warships in the front line were shattered and disintegrated by the first wave of arrow rain attacks, and their lethality was extremely terrifying.

The armies of the two sides engaged in a battle on the river, but the infantry fought against the warships. The soldiers of the Jiayue Mansion relied on the power of the catapults and thunder chariots to sink one after another of the Jin army's warships trying to pass through Lu Weirun. There were 0 casualties on the side, and the results were brilliant.

After the official start of the war, all the naval warships in Jiayue Province became troop carriers, and they landed in Lijiadu with a full load of soldiers and weapons.

Chapter 70 is Tang Jun not Qin Jun

Faced with the fierce attack of catapults and thunder chariots, the navy of the Jin army suffered heavy losses and had to retreat to the water village, watching the naval warships of Jiayue province unscrupulously carrying soldiers ashore on the river.

At Lijiadu, the soldiers of both sides fought bloody battles. The Jiayue Army relied on the construction of fortifications to carry out tenacious resistance. The dense rain of arrows shot down a large number of soldiers of the Jin army. Thirty Thunder chariots lined up in two rows in front of the fortifications. The Jin army bombarded in turn, and the dense offensive formation made the Thunder Chariot show terrifying lethality.

Every huge wooden arrow that whizzes out first explodes the shield, pierces through the bodies of two soldiers, and then penetrates into the body of No.3 soldier. The soldiers were all terrified.

This was not a battle at all, but a massacre. The Jin army suffered heavy casualties and failed to rush to the front of the Jiayue army, and the mutilated corpses were piled up on the ground.

After paying more than 2000 casualties, the morale-depressed Jin army withdrew from the battle and retreated to Lintong Pass to hold on. Li Wei did not order the pursuit, but ordered the army to advance for two miles to build fortifications on the official road leading to Lintong Pass , One build is five earth fortresses, making people wonder what he wants to do.

Afterwards, the warships of the Jiayue Provincial Government went back and forth on the river, desperately transporting Tang Tianhe's army ashore, and when most of the army had crossed the Nu River, they immediately swung their troops straight to Pennsylvania, threatening Shu, one of the southern gates of the Jin Empire. State, threatening the retreat of the Jin army that invaded the Zhou Empire.

At the same time, the 20 coalition troops from Hongfeng and Qingchuan provinces forcibly crossed the Nu River from Juyun Ferry. The navy of the Jin Empire suffered heavy losses in intercepting the landing of the Jiayue Provincial Army, and was defeated in the decisive battle with the Hongfeng navy on the river. However, the navy of the Hongfeng Provincial Government also paid a very heavy price. However, it can be regarded as a success in controlling the surface of the Nu River. 20 troops were transported by requisitioned fishing boats, and they crossed the Nu River mightily.

Because the 2 coalition forces in Hongfeng and Qingchuan provinces are so powerful, the Jin army's key defense is in Jianghuai, and [-] troops were deployed from Lintong to garrison along the Nu River. The landing operations of the coalition forces of the two provinces were not very smooth. The rear successfully landed at a heavy price.

The 3000 Jin troops who shot and killed the coalition forces of the two provinces only paid the price of more than [-] casualties. The generals of the command army saw the strength of the coalition forces of the two provinces, so they retreated to build a line of defense between Lintong and Jianghuai.

At this time, the entire Cangyun Continent was in turmoil, and the Wei Empire assembled an army of 15 from Feihu Pass to cross the Nu River and storm Fengdu City.

The 10 troops of the Tang Empire entered the realm of the Zhou Empire from Tiegang City and quickly advanced towards Jinyang, while another [-] troops marched northward, pointing directly at Shuzhou, the southern gateway of the Jin Empire.

The 17 troops of the Han Empire entered the territory of the Zhou Empire from Jiangjin Pass, gathered under the city of Jinyang, and looked for an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the invading Jin Empire's 18 troops.

The Chu Empire in the northwest sent 20 troops to attack from the Xia'an Border Pass to besiege Jin'an City.

At this time, Li Wei was still sitting in Lijiadu, waiting for his tiger and leopard cavalry to cross the river before he could implement his sweeping plan.

"What do you think of the current situation, young master?"

Tian Ce is a military adviser with a careful mind, and Li Wei is very relieved that he will sit in Lijiadu.

"According to the current situation, the situation seems to be very good..."

Li Wei was lying on the desk looking at the military map. The Jin Empire was surrounded by enemies. The current situation seemed to be very good for the empires.

"The young master is not optimistic about this big league?"

Tian Ce's slender face showed a look of concern.

Li Wei analyzed the current situation with a wry smile. Judging from the current situation, all the empires are attacking the Jin Empire with all their forces, hoping to take the opportunity to carve up this mouth-watering big cake. If the empires are lucky, this opportunity is not impossible.

However, the empire's millions of coalition forces seem to be very powerful, but they lack unified combat deployment and command coordination. They are fighting on their own, and their forces are scattered. The millions of coalition forces with evil intentions will fall apart.

Tian Ce stroked his long beard and nodded. He also saw the weakness of the millions of coalition forces, but he could do nothing. He only hoped that the coalition forces would have better luck and carve up the mighty Jin Empire. What made him most happy was that the young master actually saw So thorough, he has already met the conditions of a generation of heroes, what is lacking is experience, these, he and Wu You can pick up the omissions and addendums.

Two days later, the five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry and the Yu horses all crossed the Nu River. After Li Wei confessed to Tian Ce, he took advantage of the cover of night and the five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry quietly left Lijiadu.

Li Wei's goal is the city of Pennsylvania. He sent ten groups of special Yebushou to explore the road ahead, and five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry marched slowly. Just yesterday, the second brother-in-law Tang Tianhe led an army to cooperate with one hundred thousand Tang troops to conquer Shuzhou City. Opened the southern gate of the Jin Empire, and then joined forces and marched towards Shangluo City in a mighty manner. There was a strategic deployment to conquer Shangluo and intercept the 18 Jin troops who invaded the Zhou Empire.

At dawn, Li Wei and his five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry appeared in Zhujiaji, not far from Binzhou City. All the residents in the market town were driven out of the town, and they could choose where they wanted to flee.

Thousands of people fled to Pennsylvania and other places in a panic. What puzzled them was that these wolf-like "Tang soldiers" were still kind. They did not kill or rape women, and they were allowed to bring clothes and a small amount of dry food. Flee from home, but take nothing else with you.

After driving all the people out of Zhujiaji, five thousand "Tang troops" immediately carried out a carpet-like looting. Of course, gold, silver, jewelry, cloth and other valuable things would not be spared. Food was bagged and packed, such as kitchen knives, hatchets and hoes Anything with iron and copper, such as iron pots and door nails, will not be spared. The robbers who make a living by robbing houses are willing to bow down.

The looted stuff was piled up like a mountain. Things like food, cloth, tea, etc. were packed, sealed, and piled up in the open space. Afterwards, a large number of soldiers from the Jiayue Provincial Government came in horse-drawn carts and donkey carts, and all the stuff was loaded and transported. Back to Lijiadu, as for valuables such as gold, silver and jewelry, special personnel will be sent to escort them.

Li Wei led [-] tiger and leopard cavalry under the banner of the Tang army, looting everywhere, like locusts gnawing on crops, leaving no blade of grass, making the people of the Jin Empire who were forcibly driven from their homes hate and love at the same time.

Although this group of enemies are hateful and hateful, if they are obedient and do not resist, they will not hurt anyone, they will not set fire to the house, and they will not insult women. They will allow you to take away your clothes and dry food, and even take the opportunity to hide a small amount of gold and silver coins. It's also cute, right?Tian Ce was sitting in Lijiadu, watching a large number of young and strong soldiers rushing in and out, unloading all kinds of messy things from horse-drawn carts and donkey carts, he couldn't help opening his mouth wide, even snatching these?Could it be that the young master is poor and crazy?

It's nothing more than crazy looting, and it's too sinister to play the banner of Tang Jun openly and blame the Tang Empire.

Chapter 71 Tiger and Leopard Army?

Beggar Army!

It's not that Li Wei is poor and crazy, but that he is crazy about money. No matter how stupid the monarch is, he doesn't want to see the Jin Empire, which is already so powerful, destroy the Zhou Empire and become more powerful, seriously threatening them. In order to survive, all of them showed their family background, fully supported the Zhou Empire, and desperately dragged the Jin Empire back.

This battle had to be fought, and there was no reward, and it had to be fought fiercely, regardless of casualties, until the Jin army was forced back to the border.

Li Wei was not very optimistic about this big alliance battle, so when the water was still muddy, he desperately fished for small fish and shrimps as the cost of sending troops.

To be honest, he didn't want the Jin Empire to destroy the Zhou Empire, nor did he want the coalition forces of various empires to destroy the Jin Empire and carve up the territory of the Jin Empire. Trouble, the best result is that the Jin Empire and the major empires will lose both sides.

All of them were seriously injured, and they wanted to recover for three to five years or even longer, so they took advantage of this opportunity to develop with all their strength in secret, and a powerful Qin Empire was born.

The daily consumption of a 10,000+ army is extremely scary. To launch a small-scale war with a short cycle, two to three years of grain and grass must be stored. The premise must be good weather, abundant grain harvest, full granary, and the consumption of weapons and equipment during the war, etc. After the war, the pensions of the fallen soldiers and other expenses are an astronomical figure. Therefore, Li Wei had to use the war to support the war. However, he was not so cruel that he slaughtered innocent people, but If it is resistance, it is a different matter. How can there be no death in war?

Fortunately, the land of the Jin Empire was fertile, the products were rich, and the people were generally rich. The harvest from the crazy looting was still extremely rich. After looting the rural market towns from Binzhou City to Shuzhou, it is estimated that the cost of sending troops has been earned back.

It's not Li Wei's style to do business just to save money. His biggest goal is the city of Pennsylvania. However, the walls of the city of Pennsylvania are high and thick, and a strong attack will inevitably cause heavy losses. Even looting the whole city is not worthwhile. Veterans with rich combat experience are valuable He didn't want to gamble with his money.

The city of Pennsylvania could not be moved for the time being, so he had to think of other ways to look farther.

The luxury equipment of the tiger and leopard cavalry, with one man and three cavalry, brought out the mobility of the cavalry to the fullest. Li Wei led the tiger and leopard cavalry in great depths and roundabouts. Under the banner of the Tang army, they ran for thousands of miles, looting old landlords in villages or wealthy families in market towns. , It is also euphemistically called robbing the rich and helping the poor.

Long-distance looting, ironware, cloth and other things cannot be carried, so they only rob gold, silver and jewelry and other valuable things. During this period, God knows how many landlords, old and wealthy families were robbed. Anyway, the horses of the tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers all carried two bulging cloth bags. If the mules and horses were not good at endurance, those good horses outside the Great Wall would really not be able to carry such a heavy stuff.

The tiger and leopard cavalry, who had a great harvest, have been withdrawn to Lijiadu three times in a row to rest. In name, they are resting, but in fact they are clearing their bags and slimming down. Then they continue to "raid" the rear of the Jin army.

Tian Ce sits in Lijiadu, and the busiest job every day is to count countless dirty things. He keeps repeating the boring work of counting and registering, packing and sealing, and transporting them back to the province. He sometimes feels like he has become an accountant.

So far, he, the accountant, doesn't know the exact number. He has recorded more than a dozen thick books alone.

Li Wei took advantage of the powerful mobility of tiger and leopard cavalry to raid thousands of miles, loot everywhere, and make a fortune in silence. However, this shameful act of robbery also aroused a certain degree of resistance, especially some The big and powerful families raised many domestic slaves, some even raised rangers, and they had to pay a certain price for looting these big families. Nearly 2000 people were killed or injured by five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry. Meng Hai's first special night brigade also Two hundred people were lost.

However, the greater the risk, the higher the reward. The most exciting big fat sheep actually copied gold, silver and jewelry worth nearly 400 million silver.

During the frantic looting, Li Wei discovered that Zhuo Fengxing, the commander of the first battalion of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, was quick-witted, unique-eyed, calm, capable and decisive. .

Zhuo Fengxing's promotion made all the soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry jealous. You know, Li Wei is currently proclaiming himself the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, but he will take over the post of prefect in the future because of his high status. , the military power fell to Zhuo Fengxing, the deputy commander.

Li Wei has always had a headache about the candidate for the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry. He also promoted Zhuo Fengxing out of the ordinary because he did not have the best candidate to command the tiger and leopard cavalry. Now it depends on whether Zhuo Fengxing is competent?

He also made an exception and promoted Yun, a small school firm, as a general to replace Zhuo Fengxing to lead the first battalion of tiger and leopard cavalry. He also performed well in all aspects. Like Zhuo Fengxing, he has the potential to be a commander, but he is too young and it will take some time training and accumulation.

Both of them were middle and low-level cavalry generals of the standing army of the former Jiayue Provincial Government. They had no background background and were completely grassroots. The soldiers of the Leopard Iron Cavalry were all envious, and it also gave them hope. They all made up their minds that they must be honored and promoted, and honor their ancestors.

At this time, the tiger and leopard cavalry returned to Lijiadu for the fifth time to rest after a full load. When Li Wei jumped off the horse, his legs gave way and he almost fell down. Fortunately, Li Er reached out to help him in time.

"Master, you have worked hard."

Tian Ce praised first, then turned his face, and said solemnly: "My subordinates believe that the leader of a province should focus on the overall situation and not put himself in danger."

"Sir, what he said was..."

Li Wei smiled wryly. The tactics of the tiger and leopard cavalry coming and going like the wind made the Jin army unable to adapt for a while. For now, as long as they are careful and don't rush into the ambush circle, there should be no problem. Don't worry about it for now.

The trouble now is that the skin on the inner side of his legs was worn out during the bumpy ride on the horse's back, and the pain caused him to grin his teeth in a strange expression. What's more terrible is that now he is about to become bow-legged, with this walking posture , It's really ugly.

This time, the tiger and leopard cavalry suffered heavy losses in the battle, and the soldiers were extremely exhausted due to the long-term roundabout attack. Not only did they need to rest and relax, but they also needed to replenish their troops.

And during this period of time, where the iron hooves of the tiger and leopard cavalry stepped, there would be a crazy wave of looting. Such shameless actions made the people of the Jin Empire change their colors and hate them very much. The wicked Tang Jun had a bad death, gave birth to a son with no butthole, and all kinds of infamy were countless. Beggar Army eventually became the nickname of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Chapter 72 Good news frequently

August 273, 8, the autumn of the Qin Empire.

The 17 troops of the Tang Empire and the 65 troops of the Han Empire joined forces under the city of Jinyang, the important town of the Zhou Empire. Together with the troops of the Zhou Empire, the total force reached [-].

At this time, another 18 army of the Tang Empire and Tang Tianhe's 65 army besieged Shangluo City, the gateway to the southern border of Jinyang. The [-] Jin troops who invaded the Zhou Empire had to withdraw because they were worried that their retreat would be cut off. The empire's [-] allied forces took advantage of the momentum to pursue, forcing the commander-in-chief of the Jin army to sacrifice [-] troops in the rear to escape the pursuit of the allied forces and successfully withdraw to Shangluo.

So far, all the armies of the empire have joined forces under the city of Shangluo. On the southern battlefield, the total strength of the coalition forces has reached more than 80.

The 16 Jin troops who withdrew to Shangluo defended Shangluo City with all their strength, and built a defense line around Shangluo to resist the attack of the coalition forces, while waiting for imperial reinforcements.

On the western front, the 20 troops of the Chu Empire stormed into the Jinxi Dangerous Pass, the western gate of the Jin Empire. Both sides suffered casualties, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate.

On the eastern front battlefield, the 15 troops of the Wei Empire stormed Fengdu City, the eastern gateway of the Jin Empire, and the Jin army held the city firmly, and the two sides also fell into a confrontation.

The Allied Forces of the Red Maple and Qingchuan Provinces of the Qin Empire were also desperately attacking the Jianghuai pass. The battle was extremely tragic. The front of the city changed hands several times. Hangu City, Pennsylvania mobilized [-] troops for reinforcements.

Due to the extremely tragic battle in the Jianghuai River, Li Wei stationed a large number of troops in Lijiadu. The defenders of Lintong suffered a big loss from the Thunder Chariot before, and they dared not attack easily. , among the several fronts, the Jiayue Provincial Army is the most relaxed.

To the north, the Golden Empire outside the Great Wall gathered 20 string-controlling men to storm Fuhu Pass, the northern gate of the Jin Empire. The Jin army stormed Fuhu Pass and lost soldiers and generals.

The Jin Empire was surrounded by enemies, and the pressure on the northern line was the lightest. However, the King of Jin did not dare to deploy troops from the northern line to reinforce the other three tight fronts.

On the 14th, the more than 80 coalition forces that besieged Shangluo City officially launched a strong attack on Shangluo City. Tang Tianhe's troops were responsible for ensuring the logistics and transportation of the coalition forces. , No need to fight directly on the battlefield with real guns and swords, everyone wants to preserve their strength. The 5000 army he commanded had nearly [-] casualties when they attacked Shuzhou.

The defenders resisted tenaciously, and the soldiers on both sides fought bloody battles. Shangluo City was a huge meat grinder, devouring the lives of young soldiers on both sides frantically. On the first day of attacking the city, the coalition forces lost tens of thousands of soldiers, and the city defenders also suffered nearly 4000 casualties. people.

The numerous heavy siege catapults of the coalition forces were launched crazily, causing many damages to the thick and solid walls of Shangluo City. Finally, a short section of the southern city wall collapsed, exposing a gap nearly ten meters wide.

In order to break into this gap, the coalition forces invested a large amount of troops, and the battle was extremely fierce. After paying the price of nearly 3 casualties, they successfully broke into the city. The Jin army used various buildings to resist steadily. It will cost hundreds of thousands of people.

On the 23rd, Shangluo fell, and the remnants of the Jin army retreated to the Moyun area of ​​Quyang to fortify, revealing the strategic intention of resisting steadily and buying time for the domestic army to gather.

In Li Jiadu's temporary headquarters, Li Wei was drinking tea leisurely. After more than ten days of rest, the exhausted tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers were eager to try, but Li Wei had no intention of dispatching again.

The purpose of actual combat training has been achieved. The surviving soldiers have passed the test of blood and fire and grown into qualified veterans. These veterans are the precious wealth he relies on to fight for power, and he especially cherishes them.

Furthermore, the roundabout and deep looting has robbed everything that should be robbed, and also robbed those who should not have been robbed. There are not many fat sheep left, and those big families in the Jin Empire are also afraid of being robbed. If you learn the skills, you won't have a lot of money to grab again. Pigs are fattened and then slaughtered.

According to statistics, the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings he looted were nearly 2000 million yuan in cash, and the amount of iron and iron ore was so numerous that they piled up all the military camps outside Jiayue City, and filled several large pieces of cloth. The warehouse, as for food and grass, is enough to consume a [-] army for half a year. No matter what the outcome of this war is, in short, he has made a lot of money.

Li Wei's appetite is not very big, so he accepts it when he sees a good one. However, the army stationed in Lijiadu could not withdraw immediately. On the contrary, he built many solid fortifications, and the number of troops increased from more than 2 to nearly 5. Not counting the tiger and leopard cavalry and the heavy logistics troops, there is no way, Li Jiadu is the way home for the second brother-in-law Tang Tianhe and his army, and he can't do it.

"Master, you seem to be getting less and less optimistic about the victory of the coalition forces?"

Li Wei was so cautious, but Tian Ce thought it was normal. Being careful to support the boat for thousands of years also made him feel more at ease. It showed that the young master had foresight, but it also clearly revealed that he was becoming less and less optimistic about the victory of the coalition forces.

"It's just a feeling..."

Li Wei shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands. It was a few days before the progress of the battle ahead reached him. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen. He has to visit the battlefield in person to know the specific progress and deployment of the battle. This uneasy feeling just exists all the time.

Tian Ce couldn't help sighing, the young master is indeed right, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen, it is inconvenient to transmit information, and he cannot keep abreast of the progress of the battle on the front line, so he can only wait for the progress of the battle.

Staying at Lijiadu has nothing to do, and Li Wei, who has nothing to do, stares at the map in a daze most of the time. On the map, he draws various marks on the map. The arrows represent the attacking direction of the coalition forces, and the places painted with rouge represent the coalition forces. already occupied place.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the war is progressing smoothly, and the coalition forces are victorious. As long as the coalition forces advance steadily, gradually compress the space for the Jin army to move, and force the main force of the Jin army to fight a decisive decisive battle. As long as there are no accidents, the coalition forces have a good chance of winning .

It's useless to be anxious now, I can only sit and wait for the night to report back the battle ahead. Li Wei stood up, stretched his waist, and said lazily: "Come here, bring the fishing rod."

The soldiers who went to get the fishing rods hadn't come yet, sweating profusely, and the panic-stricken Ye Buhui rushed in, "Your lord, the battle report from the front..."

Chapter 73 Heroine Phoenix

With a bang, the teacup in Tian Ce's hand fell to the ground and shattered, and the tea splashed all over the place. He didn't even notice that his shoes and trousers were soaked, "What did you say...the coalition forces were defeated?"

The news was like a bolt from the blue, and he was stunned on the spot. He couldn't believe the news for a while, thinking that his ears had heard it wrong.

"what……"

Li Wei, who was just about to go into the inner hall to change clothes and go fishing to pass the time, seemed petrified, and still kept his walking posture. He suddenly shivered, and rushed to the table like crazy, staring at the military map laid on the table.
