Rescue Zhi Ning and her child!_2 Gui Xingfu displayed a helpless smile and said, “But at the Fenglei Fort Defense Line, my lord has already achieved a great victory, and Zhi Li has already fled in defeat.”
“Ha ha ha…” Earl Chu Ye laughed heartily and said, “Gui Xingfu, do you really think I’m a fool?
Zhi Li His Highness has an army of nearly forty-five million, and although Suo Lun’s iron cannons are formidable, they have one fatal flaw: the firing rate is too slow.
Before even two volleys can be completed, the great army of Zhi Li His Highness has already charged up to the city walls!
Most importantly, if Suo Lun was not on the brink of destruction, why would he send you to persuade to surrender?
If he had won, he should be waiting for to seek his favor!”
Gui Xingfu said, “Every word I say is true.
Why doesn’t Earl Chu Ye believe ?”
Earl Chu Ye laughed even more exaggeratedly, then clutching his stomach, he laughed and said, “If this is true, then I will crawl around on the ground like a dog and bark ten tis!”
Gui Xingfu sighed and said, “Since your Excellency does not believe, there’s nothing I can do.
I can only relay your original words to Lord Suo Lun and take my leave!”
“Wait!” Earl Chu Ye said, “Gui Xingfu, you’re not leaving.
As a lord of the kingdom, you have actually betrayed Zhi Li His Highness and conspired with Suo Lun, which is utterly shaless.
Now that you’ve fallen into my hands, don’t even think about going back!”
Then, with a wave of his hand, Earl Chu Ye imdiately had dozens of Samurai co forward, thoroughly capturing Gui Xingfu and imprisoning him in the dungeon of the castle!
…
That evening, while Earl Chu Ye once again favored a mother-daughter pair in Linhai City, he couldn’t help but think of Gui Xingfu’s words and still found them utterly ridiculous and laughable!
With Zhi Li having an army of nearly forty-five million strong, what was the use of Suo Lun having a few hundred cannons?
The line of Fenglei Fort was entirely flat terrain, just a few hundred ters away that could be crossed in re minutes.
How many rounds could Suo Lun’s cannons fire?
Moreover, his Nu River Battlefield was extrely stifling, with just a few hundred ters of the Nu River separating them.
Once troops boarded rafts to cross the river, the soldiers on top could only passively take hits.
Therefore, when Gui Xingfu said that Zhi Li had been defeated, Earl Chu Ye saw it as an absurd lie, utterly childish.
Clearly, Suo Lun was in imminent danger, which is why he resorted to such ridiculous lies.
The next morning, Earl Chu Ye woke up refreshed from beside several won.
Then, feeling a bit strange, he wondered why Zhi Li’s military order had not yet arrived.
At this ti yesterday, the ssenger from Zhi Li riding a Griffin Beast had already delivered military orders!
These days, Zhi Li’s ssenger ca every day, not only bringing new orders from Zhi Li but also to report the battle situation here.
No ssenger today?
Could it be that Zhi Li was extrely dissatisfied with his passive approach to the war?
Suddenly, Earl Chu Ye imdiately sent a trusted samurai to Zhi Li’s main camp to report the latest battle situation here and deliver a letter handwritten by Chu Ye.
He might be dodging the battle lazily, but he still needed to shout his loyalty loudly.
To ensure the fastest turnaround, he had his trusted samurai ride his Lion-Tiger Beast!
In the afternoon, the trusted samurai who was sent to carry the ssage finally returned!
“Great General, Great General…” From a distance, the trusted samurai scread hoarsely, looking horrified as if he had seen a ghost.
Earl Chu Ye’s heart trembled, feeling an ominous premonition.
The trusted samurai rushed to Earl Chu Ye, then directly rolled onto the ground, kneeling and bowing his head, saying, “Defeated, defeated…
Zhi Li His Highness has been utterly defeated and has fled back to Wangcheng Zidu.
Forty-five million strong army completely crushed, countless dead and bodies everywhere!”
Earl Chu Ye staggered as if struck by a bolt from the blue, his vision going dark!
Defeated?
How could this be?
How could this possibly happen?
Was Zhi Li a fool?
With an army of forty-five million against Suo Lun’s hundred thousand, to suffer such a devastating defeat?
And the battle had only started a few days ago, rely three to four days!
Earl Chu Ye felt a sharp pain in his heart and gasped, “When did this happen?”
“Yesterday afternoon,” the trusted samurai said, “The battle started early in the morning yesterday, and it was over before dark.
Now, the battlefield is still covered with countless bodies.”
What Gui Xingfu said was true after all, and here he was, mocking him repeatedly, mocking Suo Lun.
“I, I really am a fool,” Earl Chu Ye wished he could slap himself.
Then, he quickly asked, “Zhi Li has escaped back to the city, but what about Turing Tuo?”
His trusted samurai replied, “Duke Turing Tuo has gathered a few tens of thousands of defeated troops and escaped to Baiyun County.”
Earl Chu Ye’s body trembled violently, and then he saw a trendous opportunity!
Then, he rushed to the dungeon with the fastest speed.
…
The imprisoned Gui Xingfu felt incredibly smug!
Yesterday’s reaction from Earl Chu Ye was entirely within his expectations.
For Zhi Li’s utter defeat, even Gui Xingfu found it incomprehensible, let alone Earl Chu Ye, who couldn’t believe that Zhi Li had been defeated.
Being imprisoned for one night could entirely solidify his importance in Suo Lun’s eyes and also put Earl Chu Ye in an even more passive position.
“Earl Gui Xingfu, Brother Gui…”
From afar, Earl Chu Ye shouted loudly, full of warmth.
Rushing to the front of the dungeon, Earl Chu Ye, disregarding his status as the commander of the Northern Legion, directly lifted his robe and knelt down, saying, “Brother Gui, I was wrong, I was wrong!
I am blind and utterly foolish.
Not only did I fail to appreciate your kindness, but I also spoke disrespectfully to Lord Suo Lun, deserving of death, deserving of death…”
