Chapter 296(1/3)
"The scouts we sent out were unable to contact Governor Qin!"
"And there is no news from the alien side!"
"Is something going to happen?"
In the Chinese army camp in the camp, many generals and officials gathered together to discuss.
They followed Qin Jie's orders and came from various places to Chaoyang County.
Who would have thought that they would have arrived already.
As a result, Qin Jie, who was the backbone, lost contact.
Originally, four million troops were supposed to gather here.
Now there are only two million.
The number has been reduced by half.
Of course, if it was just a delay, that would be understandable.
After all, during the march, some accidents will inevitably occur.
But now there is no news at all.
This is the most worrying thing.
Although the world is vast, even the distances between cities are very far, let alone counties.
The land of one county is even much larger than the territory of a big country in the real world.
But now is the time when war breaks out, and messaging is a very important thing.
After all, an important piece of information can even determine the outcome of a war.
In addition, there are also player forces in the government and army who can deliver messages.
There shouldn't be any news at all.
Unfortunately, Qin Jie is relatively resistant to player influence.
There was not a single player in the army he led, and all he led were aboriginal soldiers.
This led to the fact that no one knew about the fact that he was eliminated by Qin Yuan in the border canyon.
And even the spies or messengers sent out were all killed on the way.
This resulted in the generals who arrived at the scheduled location having no idea what happened in the middle.
But Qin Jie didn't arrive for a long time, so everyone knew that things were not simple.
Even if it was delayed, Qin Jie would at least inform them.
If you encounter enemy troops or are surrounded, you should send some people to deliver the news.
And once a war breaks out with it, at least a million-scale war, the noise will be very loud, and you can find it with just a little inquiry.
But Qin Jie and the army he led seemed to have disappeared from the world.
"Could it be that we were attacked by enemy troops?"
"Impossible, we know very clearly the movements of Zhang Mancheng's army. As long as there are spies watching the army with more than 10,000 people, it is impossible to hide every move from us!"
"Besides, Zhang Mancheng's main force is already heading north to deal with the armies of foreigners and noble families!"
"Even if they are sent to Chaoyang County, they are still halfway there. It is estimated that they will not arrive for another day or two!"
"As for the strength of their troops in Chaoyang County, it is very clear that they only have 500,000 at most!"
"And the army led by Governor Qin Jie has as many as one million!"
"Even if we are attacked, the enemy cannot be our opponent!"
Suddenly someone made an objection.
After all, based on the analysis of known intelligence from all aspects, there is a high probability that Qin Jie will not have any problems.
"But this time, not only did Governor Qin Jie lose contact, but the total number of other lost troops exceeded two million, and no news came out at all. It's really weird!"
"Is it possible that the prefect had other secret operations and did not inform us?"
"It is possible. After all, the lost armies all have one thing in common, that is, there is no alien group in the army. Therefore, the army's operations are highly confidential. Only then can we be sure that the news has not been passed on!"
Someone speculated.
"I hope so!"
Because there was no news at all, they couldn't tell what was going on.
"By the way, almost all the Yellow Turban Army in Chaoyang County has been mobilized, and their target is directly at us!"
"How do you view this?"
"What do you think? If they dare to come, then I don't mind giving them a ride!"
"That's right. The total number of these troops is only 500,000. Do they really dare to fight us?"
"Why should they fight against us after giving up the city's defensive advantage!"
When the topic turned to the Yellow Turban Army, everyone looked confident of winning.
Although Qin Jie lost contact, they were a little uneasy.
However, sometimes there is no news, or there is good news.
After all, judging from the strength of both sides, Zhang Mancheng did not have the strength to quietly eliminate Qin Jie.
So in their opinion, Qin Jie is most likely safe.
There may have been a special plan, or a temporary change in combat strategy.
And within their armies, there are more or less armies from player groups.
Needless to say, confidentiality goes without saying.
In addition to fighting tough battles, players cannot count on some strategies that require tactics.
After all, they bribed many players in the Yellow Turban Army.
Similarly, the Yellow Turban Army will also deploy some player spies in the imperial camp to obtain information on the movements of the government army.
This is true for both camps.
Even if one of the parties does not have this idea, a large number of players will come forward.
After all, as long as you convey some information, you can gain great benefits, so why not do it.
As for telling players about morality and righteousness, that's just talking to a cow. Players don't care about these things.
"If they really dare to come, then just destroy them!"
A general sneered.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the latest news came from outside the door.
The Yellow Turban Army, which poured out from various cities in Chaoyang County, has already gathered in some numbers, numbering nearly half a million.
And they appeared less than ten kilometers away from the camp.
The direction they are heading towards is exactly where they are.
"Really here!?"
Everyone still couldn't believe it.
You know, even Qin Jie, the most important main force, has not yet appeared.
However, there are two million troops here.
They did not immediately attack the city in Chaoyang County, so the Yellow Turban Army should be enjoying themselves secretly.
Unexpectedly, they did not choose to hide in the city, but directly challenged them.
"What now?"
"We're here, we can't avoid the battle!"
"Since Governor Qin Jie is not here, why not let General Wang serve as the temporary commander? What do you think?"
"I think it's okay. I still admire General Wang's ability!"
The generals quickly selected a chief general to serve as the commander of all armies.
After all, they are composed of multiple armies.
Originally, when they arrived, they would all obey Qin Jie's command and deployment.
But Qin Jie is not here now.
Facing the attack of a powerful enemy.
They can't sit still and wait for death.
Must fight.
