Chapter 624

Shen Hao did not stay in Wu Kai's camp for too long. He asked all the questions, and staying only delayed Wu Kai's rest time. According to the order, Wu Kai had only one night and half a day for a while, and then he would have a big sleep.

When I returned to my tent, I had already passed the hour of my life, and there was a musty smell in the tent.

"Sir, Xu Jie, the military supervisor, asked for a meeting." As soon as he sat firmly, the personal guard came in to report.

"Let him in."

Xu Jie, the supervisor in charge of the upper military camp, is an old man in the supervisor. He is a fellow villager with Shen Hao's adjutant Li Jiang, and he has been in the army for many years before joining Xuanqingwei. Therefore, with Li Jiang's strong recommendation, Shen Hao sent Xu Jie to the front line as the supervisor in charge of the supervisor.

Soon, a man with a medium figure and handsome face walked in from outside, and then stood ten feet in front of Shen Hao after hearing it loudly.

"There is no need to be too polite, tell me about your situation."

Xu Jie felt relieved when he saw that Shen Hao had no intention of blaming him. Shen Hao arrived in the afternoon. Xu Jie should have come to see him as soon as he entered the camp, but as soon as Shen Hao entered the camp, he was called away by Cheng Jinhou. Then he went to Wukai's place. Xu Jie rushed to the empty space several times, and the last one was guarding near Shen Hao's camp before he came back.

"If you want to go back to the Lord, the situation in the upper camp is very bad. The army supervisor died on the fifth day after we arrived here. After that, three more army supervisors were killed one after another. Now one is seriously injured and is in a coma. The subordinates were also in a tragic situation like the unconscious army supervisor. Thanks to General Cheng's timely rescue, General Cheng also injured his right arm for this."

Shen Hao narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and there was a lot of information in this sentence.

"If Cheng Jinhou doesn't save you, you will end up like the seriously injured military officer? Are you standing together at that time?"

"Yes, sir, I stood together. Suddenly, my subordinates felt that several strong winds came and then they saw General Cheng blocking me. The military supervisor beside me was not lucky and happened to be swept by the strong wind. Now it seems that his bones are half broken, so I am afraid it will be difficult to survive."

Let’s not talk about how Cheng Jinhou was touched by someone under the protection of the central army. As Xu Jie said, he and a military supervisor were standing together at that time, that is, they were next to each other, but Cheng Jinhou only saved Xu Jie but did not save the military supervisor next to him. Was it intentional or was it too late?

Shen Hao was sure that Cheng Jinhou did not save the military inspector on purpose. He probably wouldn't have saved him. At this time, the disadvantage of the military inspectors being unpopular was revealed. No one paid attention to the crisis in the moment, and no one took care of him even if he died.

"People often come to Cheng Jinhou?"

"Yes, lord. Some monks in the barbarians are very powerful. They will disguise themselves as ordinary soldiers and mingle among the attacking scattered soldiers, and when they approach the wall of the military camp, they will start attacking suddenly. Some of them run very fast and it is difficult to stop them in advance."

"Is the monk from Jingying Mansion who guards Cheng Jinhou? Who is the origin?"

"There are mainly two people, one is an elder named Wu from Tianchan Sect, who is said to have a second level of Xuanhai Realm; the other is an elder from Qinghua Valley, whose surname is Yuan, who is said to have a first level of Xuanhai Realm."

"Hiss!" Shen Hao took a deep breath. It was not that he was scared by the cultivation of these two senior cultivators, but that he was scared by the abilities of those barbarian cultivators. The two Xuanhai cultivators still could not protect Cheng Jinhou Wanquan, this...

"What then? Are the barbarians who attacked Cheng Jinhou killed? "

"Three were left, and two people failed to assassinate and then escaped unscathed."

Shen Hao was a little confused about what to say. No wonder he and Cheng Jinhou set up a formation outside the military camp to deal with the corpse, and they didn't see any Xuanhai realm master showing his face beside him. It was probably because his face was gone and he was protecting Cheng Jinhou in the dark.

"Is there any other news?"

"There are also adults. According to the observations of subordinates, the upper military camp has a serious shortage of troops. Take yesterday's war for example. There were only 6,000 people in the military camp at that time, but nearly 2,000 were lost in one battle, and more injured. The defense line cruising outside was said to be 20,000, but only 15,000 could actually fall on the front line, and it was extremely scattered. It was often infiltrated with the small barbarians, and the losses were also huge in the field.

But I heard General Cheng mention that the next batch of reinforcements will take five days to arrive. If the barbarians do another raid of yesterday during this period... "

He left half of the words before he finished speaking, but Shen Hao understood what Xu Jie meant. He was worried that if the barbarians launched a large-scale attack, the upper military camp would not be able to defend it.

Five days seem to match the time Wu Kai said before. This is not a good phenomenon, because even if the reinforcements come, there is no spare time to adjust, and there is no room for maneuver to deal with emergencies. This is a big loophole in the eyes of Shen Hao, an outsider.

Would Cheng Jinhou not know? What was he planning?

"Is there any countermeasure?"

"Cheng Jinhou has never said that even the people below reminded him of danger did not ask Cheng Jinhou to explain more. He still maintained a tough defensive posture of being strong outside and doing the middle, and had no intention of shrinking people at all."

"Have those monks from Jingying Mansion made suggestions in this regard?" Shen Hao felt strange the more he heard it. Will a general who is famous for his stability in the army be so hasty and let the loopholes spread without making any adjustments? The people below could not control Cheng Jinhou's thoughts, and the military supervisor was seriously injured. The monks from Jingying Mansion should have words.

However, Xu Jie shook his head: "No. The monks in Jingying Mansion basically do not talk much to the people in the army, let alone interfere with the military strategy."

"Have the military supervisor not sued this matter before? Or did you dismiss it?"

"The military supervisor has mentioned it, and it has been more than once. The subordinates also know the good and bad things. This obvious disadvantage in military strategy cannot be rejected. But Jin Hou ignored it, and after the military supervisor's letter was sent out, there was no news."

The military supervisor's letter will not sink into the sea, and Cheng Jinhou has absolutely no courage to act alone in the withdrawal restrictions of the military supervisor. The only explanation is that the military supervisor's letter did not achieve the same effect as usual after it was sent out, or even their own consul and military supervisor did not provide support.

This talk passed the hour of Hai, and Xu Jie didn't leave until the hour of Zi.

Shen Hao was not sleepy at all. He sat in the big tent and looked at the topographic map of Jianchuan spread out on the table for a long time.

However, three guards outside the tent were communicating in a low voice.

“The situation here looks bad.”

"Well! It's not too much to say that it's dangerous. I don't know where Cheng Jinhou got the confidence to continue to stick here. Such a huge loss of war will probably not take long for the morale of the army to be wiped out."
