"What? Say it again!"
When he heard the news that Juncheng had been captured, Akiyama-kun could hardly believe his ears.
Akiyama-kun no longer cared about his dignity. He rushed down from his seat, grabbed the soldier who came to report the news, and shouted at him with a ferocious look on his face.
Juncheng was captured!
How could Juncheng be captured?
The enemy has so few people, how can they possibly capture Juncheng?
Even if Juncheng only has a thousand defenders and the enemy has so few people, it is impossible to capture Juncheng!
When Akiyama-kun grabbed the soldier, he was so frightened that he trembled all over. He could hardly stand, let alone speak, for fear that Akiyama-kun would kill him in a rage.
"Your Highness, calm down!"
At this time, the staff member came to his senses and stepped forward to hold the out-of-control Akiyama-kun, and asked the soldier in a gentle tone: "When did the enemy capture Juncheng?"
...
...
The soldier recovered with difficulty and answered hesitantly: "The enemy broke into the city on the eve of sunset yesterday. Many of our people were killed by the enemy before they could even react..."
"How many troops does the enemy have?"
The staff asked again.
"No... not sure."
The soldier's face was full of nervousness. "However, the enemy should not exceed 2,000 people..."
No more than two thousand people?
After hearing the words of the soldier, Qiu Shanjun and several generals of Luyi Prefecture once again suspected that they had heard wrongly.
How is this possible!
Juncheng was built according to the standards of a fortress!
As long as those one thousand defenders were defending the city, let alone two thousand, even twenty thousand people might not be able to capture Juncheng in such a short time.
Bang!
In a rage, Qiu Shanjun kicked the soldier to the ground and roared murderously: "How dare you spread false information! Come, drag him out and behead him!"
"Your Highness, please spare my life!"
The soldier was so frightened that he quickly turned over and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged with tears: "Everything I said is true! Please spare my life, Your Highness..."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Qiu Shanjun waved his sleeves violently, "No one can capture Juncheng with only two thousand men!"
As he said this, Mr. Akiyama ordered his men to drag the soldier away and behead him.
"Your Highness, calm down."
The staff member stopped him again, "In my opinion, the defenders of Juncheng must have fallen into the enemy's trap! Let's find out the situation first!"
With the consolation of his staff, Akiyama finally calmed down.
After taking a few deep breaths, Qiu Shanjun returned to his seat and looked at the soldier with a cold face, "Tell me the details of how the enemy captured Juncheng! If you dare to hide anything, I will tear you into pieces!"
Hearing Akiyama-kun's cold voice, the soldier trembled with fear again.
Under the urging of his staff, the soldier told the story of the enemy's capture of Juncheng.
However, he was just a pawn and he was not very clear about the specific situation.
They are the guards of the east gate.
They had no idea what was going on with Simon.
All they knew was that the enemy had inexplicably broken into the city.
Immediately afterwards, the entire Juncheng fell into panic.
They sent people to support Ximen, but none of them came back.
It was not until several defenders who were being chased by the enemy fled in panic towards the east gate that he learned from them that one or two thousand enemy soldiers disguised as their wounded had entered the city and the west gate had been completely occupied by the enemy.
Afterwards, he followed the fleeing defenders and fled madly out of the city, and ran to Luyi Prefecture to report the news.
That's the whole process.
After hearing what the soldier said, Qiu Shanjun's face turned ugly again.
In other words, everything this person said was what other people said?
He himself doesn’t even know what the situation is in Juncheng?
He dares to come and report the news without even understanding the situation?
For a moment, he really wanted to behead the soldier.
Fortunately, he finally resisted the idea.
This pawn revealed very crucial information to them.
The enemy troops entered the city disguised as their wounded soldiers!
In this situation, if our people were careless, the Juncheng city defended by only a thousand men would indeed be easily breached by the enemy.
Juncheng fell into the hands of the enemy!
This was definitely an extremely difficult result for him to accept.
"Immediately send people to investigate the situation around Juncheng. Also, send more people to look for people who escaped from Juncheng and inquire about the news about Juncheng!"
Akiyama forced himself to calm down and quickly gave orders.
The most urgent task is to determine whether Juncheng has fallen into the hands of the enemy.
After ordering his men to take the soldier who brought the news away, Akiyama-kun's face darkened again.
If Juncheng really fell into the hands of the enemy, it means that their troops who attacked the gold mine may have been wiped out!
Otherwise, where would the enemy get their armor?
Now, there are two possibilities.
First, there are definitely more than two or three thousand enemy troops near the gold mine, they were deceived!
Second, the defenders at the gold mine discovered their intention and killed all 9,000 troops who were attacking the gold mine at a very low cost. Then they crossed the Dan River as quickly as possible and disguised themselves as wounded soldiers, and captured Juncheng in one fell swoop.
The second possibility is too unlikely.
No matter how powerful the Northern Huan cavalry was, it was impossible for them to wipe out their nine thousand troops so easily.
Then, the biggest possibility is the first one!
Thinking of this, a cold light suddenly flashed in Qiu Shanjun's eyes.
trap!
That gold mine is the enemy's bait!
The enemy wants them to take the initiative and take advantage of the weak defense of Juncheng to capture Juncheng in one fell swoop!
Thinking of this, Akiyama no longer doubted the news brought back by the soldier.
Juncheng has really fallen into the hands of the enemy!
From beginning to end, it was all an enemy conspiracy.
The enemy's fundamental goal is to capture Juncheng and open the western door of the Le Dynasty!
And they were so foolish that they fell into the enemy's trap without even realizing it.
In an instant, an indescribable feeling of grief and anger came over him, and Akiyama-kun was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He has Lu Andao's 20,000 elite soldiers in his hands!
A moment of greed destroyed half of the elite soldiers!
Even Juncheng has fallen into the hands of the enemy!
If the enemy really wanted to launch a large-scale attack on the Le Dynasty, there would definitely be more than just the troops used to attack the city.
There is a large enemy army behind us!
Lu Andao, it's dangerous!
The Le Dynasty is in danger!
Just as Qiu Shanjun was trying hard to suppress the urge to vomit blood, the staff also thought of many things and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, we should quickly send people to sneak into the mountains around Danshui to see if the enemy has a large army crossing the river!"
"You... go and arrange it!"
Akiyama-kun was breathing heavily and giving orders to his staff with a groan.
We really need to see if the enemy has a large army crossing the Dan River!
If so, they must call for help immediately!
With such a small number of men, they can't stop the aggressive enemy!
Work hard!
Qiu Shanjun suddenly realized that this had nothing to do with Beihuan, nor with that damn gold mine.
It’s Da Gan who’s going to take action against them!
They thought that since Da Gan was so far away from the Le Dynasty, it would be impossible for Da Gan to attack the Le Dynasty.
However, Da Gan gave them a hard slap in the face with his actual actions.
"Report..."
At this moment, a long and urgent voice suddenly came from outside.
The next moment, a messenger ran in hurriedly, "Your Highness, Lou Chong was attacked and has fallen into the hands of the enemy..."
"puff……"
Qiu Shanjun, who had been trying hard to suppress the urge to spurt blood, could not help himself again and spurted out a mouthful of blood...
