"Tuk tuk - tuk tuk -"
Before dawn, the sleeping Chen Ziang was awakened by a hasty knock on the door.
"who?"
Chen Ziang got up in a jerk, grabbed the saber under the pillow, and looked at the door vigilantly.
"My lord, it's me with an urgent military situation."
The voice of Li Changqing, a general of hundreds of soldiers, came from outside the door, and Chen Ziang's tense face eased.
"What emergency military situation?"
Chen Ziang asked as he got out of bed and put on his combat boots.
"My lord, something happened, the provincial capital was lost, and our army suffered a disastrous defeat."
After Chen Ziang heard this, his heart sank immediately, he walked to the door in three steps at a time, and opened the wooden door with a creak.
The sky was dark, and through the dim light emitted by the lantern, Chen Ziang saw Li Changqing and Li Lang, the deputy battalion commander on duty, standing on the steps, and behind them were two fresh faces.
"I've seen you, my lord!"
Seeing Chen Ziang, several people at the door all crossed their chests and saluted.
"My lord, I'm sorry to disturb your sleep, but the situation is urgent and I have to wake you up." Deputy Battalion General Li Lang said apologetically.
"It's okay." Chen Ziang waved his hands and said, "Tell me about the specific situation?"
"These two are brothers from our scout team, let them report in detail."
Li Lang turned his body sideways, pointed to the two dusty soldiers behind him and said.
"My lord, we are soldiers of the fifth scout team of the 2,000-man team. We found a large number of dynasty black cavalry troops fifty miles east of Erlong Mountain."
"A large number of black cavalry?"
Chen Ziang's complexion darkened. This place is far away from the front line of Qingyang Mansion. How could the black cavalry appear here?
"We rescued several brothers from the Qinghe army who were hunted down by the black cavalry army scouts. From their mouths, we learned that tens of thousands of black cavalry troops raided the provincial capital three days ago. The provincial capital fell and our army suffered a disastrous defeat. "
The two scouts quickly told Chen Ziang all the news they had learned, and Chen Ziang also realized the seriousness of the problem.
The provincial capital is the location of their Qinghe army's temporary marshal's mansion, and it can be regarded as the old nest of their Qinghe army.
Now the old nest has been taken over by someone, and even the whereabouts of the commander-in-chief Zhang Dayuan and the deputy commander Xu Fu are unknown. For them, it is indeed terrible news.
"The two brothers have worked hard, go down and rest first, this matter is of great importance, please don't make it public until you figure it out."
"No!"
Soon, the two returning scouts were taken down by the guards.
"What do you think of this matter?"
After the scouts went down, Chen Zi'ang looked solemnly at Li Lang, the deputy battalion general who stood aside and was in charge of the night watch.
Li Lang said: "The brothers in the scouting team will not lie, I think it should be true, but we still need to send people to inquire about the specific situation."
Chen Ziang nodded: "Changqing, go and pass on my military order, and send out all the scouts to find out the situation as soon as possible."
"No!"
Hundreds of personal soldiers responded to Li Changqing, then turned around and ran towards the place where the scouts were camping.
"This matter is no small matter, and we must prepare for the worst."
Chen Ziang told Li Lang: "Immediately call all the officers with more than a thousand generals to my place for a meeting, and at the same time order the security forces on duty at night to strengthen their vigilance!"
"No!"
Chen Zi'ang and the others had just captured Erlong Village, and after taking a rest, they would transport food back to the provincial capital.
Unexpectedly, before they left, bad news came from the provincial capital, which made Chen Ziang very worried.
Their Qinghe army is now at a stage of development, if something goes wrong with the commander Zhang Dayuan and others, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to them.
Now Chen Ziang had to pray, hoping that Zhang Dayuan and the others would be okay. After all, there would be no eggs under a nest. Once the big tree of the Qinghe Army fell, Chen Ziang would also face greater risks.
After all, when he met the dynasty's conquering army, and now he was supported by a tall man, he, Chen Ziang, could free up his hands to train the troops and develop their strength.
If there is no tall man to stand on top of them, then they have to face the front of the dynasty army, which he is not willing to do at present.I think he needs time to develop now.
"What's the matter, people were woken up before dawn."
Yang Zhong and other generals are exhausted from collecting food everywhere these days.
They thought they could have a good rest for two days in Erlong Village, but they were woken up while they were soundly asleep.
"Something must have happened, let's go."
Deputy Battalion General Zhang Bao keenly felt that the number of guard soldiers in Erlong Village had increased, and there was a chilling atmosphere in the air.
Soon, the deputy battalion generals Li Lang, Zhang Bao, and thousands of generals Lin Yu, Yang Zhong and others all rushed to the conference hall of Erlong Mountain.
"Brother Li, what happened?"
Seeing the three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry outside the hall, the soldiers looked as if they were facing a big enemy, Zhang Bao approached Li Changqing, a general with hundreds of soldiers, and lowered his voice to inquire about the situation.
"I don't know the specific situation. I just heard that something happened in the provincial capital. Deputy Zhang will go in quickly. The adults are waiting for you inside." Li Changqing said.
"Okay, Brother Li, I'll treat you to a drink when I have time."
"It's easy to talk about."
After Zhang Bao patted Li Changqing on the shoulder, he walked into the meeting hall.
After Zhang Bao and the others entered the conference hall, they found their own chairs to sit down. After a while, everyone arrived, including the new Chief of Staff Li Qiye and General Zhou Ba.
"Everyone, let me make a long story short and tell you the bad news I just got."
After Chen Ziang saw that everyone was here, he knocked on the table to gather everyone's attention.
Seeing Chen Ziang's serious face, and saying that it was bad news, Zhang Bao and others had different expressions, and they all began to guess what happened.
"The scouts reported that the capital of the province was attacked by a large group of black cavalry a few days ago. Our army suffered a lot of losses, and the whereabouts of the commander are also unknown. At present, the black cavalry cavalry is chasing and killing our defeated soldiers."
"ah?"
"How did the Black Cavalry appear in the provincial capital?"
"Could it be that Deputy Marshal Chen of Qingyang Mansion lost the battle?"
"Brothers' family members are still in the provincial capital. What if something bad happens to you?"
After hearing Chen Ziang's words, everyone exploded in surprise, suspicion and shock.
General Zhou Ba and Chief of Staff Li Qiye did not know much about the situation because they had just joined Chen Ziang's command, but they seemed much calmer.
Chen Ziang saw everyone's reactions in his eyes, and he also knew that the news was a little sudden, but it had already happened, and now they could only accept it and find a way to face it.
"Be quiet¡ª¡ª"
Seeing the people whispering, Chen Ziang had no choice but to knock on the table again to make them quiet.
"You are all senior officers of the Ninth Battalion of our Qinghe Army. No matter what happens, I hope you will not get confused." Chen Ziang emphasized.
"My lord, don't worry, we will listen to you." The deputy battalion general in charge of military law, Li Lang, took the lead in expressing his opinion.
"Yes, my lord, we all listen to you." Zhang Bao and others also followed suit.
"I have sent a large number of scouts out, and I think we will know exactly what happened soon."
Chen Ziang said with a serious face: "Before that, I hope that you can restrain your respective troops, obey orders in all actions, and don't spread rumors. Anyone who dares to disturb the morale of our army will be severely punished."
"No!"
When Zhang Bao and others saw how calm and composed the main general Chen Ziang was, the worry and panic in their hearts also subsided by themselves.
"Li Lang!"
"The end is here!"
"Your people have stepped up inspections. Anyone who spreads rumors and disturbs the morale of the army will be arrested and punished immediately!"
"No!"
"The rest of the people will explain to the brothers after they go back, and tell them that even if the sky falls, I, Chen Ziang, will bear it, so don't get confused."
