Chapter 1869: Going out of the city to welcome

"This... is this the strength of Shuiyue's elite army? Too strong, isn't it?" Sun Zhongcai stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the battlefield in the distance, his face full of shock, and in addition to being shocked, his heart was full of surprise.

Because the army of Shuiyue that came to support won!

The battle outside the city, from the beginning of the contact between the two sides to now, has not lasted for half an hour, and as a result, Pengchuan's army was defeated. Standing in Sun Zhongcai's position, he could see many soldiers wearing rebel clothes, fleeing in a panic, while the army of Shuiyue that came from Yangyu Pass was cleaning up the battlefield.

Originally, Sun Zhongcai, who chose to watch the battle, was thinking about waiting for the two sides outside the city to fight each other to a loss, and then he would lead his army out of the city and reap the benefits, but he did not expect that the army of Shuiyue was so strong that it defeated Pengchuan's army in less than half an hour, which shocked Sun Zhongcai very much.

You know, it was Peng Chuan's troops who had surrounded them for several days. In these few days, Sun Zhongcai had deeply felt the combat effectiveness of Peng Chuan's troops. It can be said that the defenders in their city were beaten without any ability to fight back, otherwise, Qi Feng would not have come up with that trick to let the people take the lead.

But now, Peng Chuan's troops, who had beaten them so hard that they couldn't raise their heads, were easily defeated by the army of Shuiyue. The army of Shuiyue was too strong.

Sun Zhongcai had seen the army of Shuiyue before. In fact, he had also seen the strong combat effectiveness of the army of Shuiyue. But in the past, the opponents of the army of Shuiyue were usually the army of Yanfeng. Both countries were superpowers with strong strength. Therefore, the armies of these two countries usually fought hard. Although Sun Zhongcai also felt that the army of Shuiyue was very powerful, his feelings were not too deep.

But now, after seeing the strength of Shuiyue Kingdom's army with his own eyes, he was shocked. It was a momentum of crushing withered and decayed things. The powerful Pengchuan's troops had almost no ability to resist in front of them.

The defeat of Pengchuan's troops meant that the crisis of Linshui City was resolved, and Sun Zhongcai was naturally happy.

However, while Sun Zhongcai was happy, he was also a little worried.

As Qi Feng's close minister, Sun Zhongcai knew Qi Feng's thoughts. In recent years, with the development of their Black Water Kingdom, Qi Feng's ambitions have been expanding. He has been somewhat unwilling to be inferior to Shuiyue Kingdom and does not want to be Shuiyue Kingdom's thugs anymore. He wants independence, real independence!

Before today, Sun Zhongcai also supported Qi Feng. He felt that Shuiyue Kingdom's army was very strong, and their Black Water Kingdom's army was not weak either. In the conflicts with Nanping Kingdom over the years, they have always had the upper hand. This gave Qi Feng great confidence, and also gave Sun Zhongcai great confidence.

But now, this confidence has been hit hard. Only then did Sun Zhongcai realize that the army he was proud of was so vulnerable in front of the army of Shuiyue Country. Even the army commanded by Peng Chuan himself was not the opponent of the army of Shuiyue Country, and even failed to put up a decent resistance.

"No, after this incident, I have to advise His Majesty not to do stupid things. There are some things that cannot be thought of, let alone done." Sun Zhongcai thought in his heart.

If Qi Feng insisted on breaking away from the control of Shuiyue Country, then it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction in Shuiyue Country. At that time, Shuiyue Country might send troops in anger. If that time really came, they would not be able to resist at all.

"But now is not the time to think about these things." Sun Zhongcai said to himself: "Just now I did not open the city gate in time to cooperate with the army of Shuiyue Country to attack. I am afraid that the generals of Shuiyue Country may have been a little dissatisfied. I have to eliminate their anger."

Sun Zhongcai knew very well that his behavior just now would easily cause misunderstandings from the people of Shuiyue Country. Now, it was the people of Shuiyue Country who saved them, and he could not neglect them.

Thinking of this, Sun Zhongcai shouted: "The team is disbanded! Open the city gate, I will go out to greet them in person!"

Under Sun Zhongcai's order, the gate of Linshui City was slowly opened, and he took his personal soldiers and some major generals in the army out of the city. Before leaving the city, he deliberately made himself very embarrassed and asked the soldiers in the city to disperse.

Sun Zhongcai did this to make the people of Shuiyue Country believe that it was not easy for them to hold on until now after so many days of hard fighting, and they had no spare energy to gather the team and cooperate with the people of Shuiyue Country to attack from the front and back.

In this case, I believe the people of Shuiyue Country will also be angry because of this. At most, they will look down on their fighting power in their hearts.

Sun Zhongcai didn't care about this. The strength of their Black Water Country's army was not as good as that of Shuiyue Country's army. It was nothing to be looked down upon by them.

"When you meet the generals of Shuiyue Country later, be respectful." Sun Zhongcai ordered the generals who followed him.

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

Sun Zhongcai was satisfied and continued to move forward.

When Sun Zhongcai rushed to the outside of the city, the army outside the city was also heading towards the city gate.

Sun Zhongcai didn't find anything wrong at first. He just thought that it was not impossible for these Shuiyue Country's troops to enter Linshui City. After all, these people were the benefactors of their Linshui City, so they naturally couldn't be neglected.

However, when the two sides got closer, Sun Zhongcai realized that something was wrong.

"Hey, why does that person in front of me look so familiar?" Sun Zhongcai, who was riding on a horse, looked a little confused when he saw the person coming towards him.

Because, Sun Zhongcai found that the man in front of him looked very familiar. If he hadn't been wearing the armor of the Shuiyue Kingdom, Sun Zhongcai almost thought that he was a colleague in the army.

"Why do I think that man looks a bit like Peng Chuan?"

When Sun Zhongcai was puzzled, a general next to him also spoke up, with some doubt and surprise in his tone.

"You think so too? I thought I was the only one who thought so." Another person said.

Hearing what these two people said, Sun Zhongcai was shocked. He finally understood why he felt that the man in front of him was familiar, because that man looked very much like Peng Chuan!

However, because the other person was wearing the armor of a general of the Shuiyue Kingdom, Sun Zhongcai didn't think of him as Peng Chuan just now. Now, after hearing the conversation between his companions, he realized that something was wrong.

In an instant, Sun Zhongcai's hair stood up, his heart sank instantly, and his hands and feet were even a little numb.

"Quick! Retreat! Quickly, go back to the city! Go back to the city!!" Sun Zhongcai shouted in a slightly sharp voice.
