Chapter 682: Three Three Eight: Zhi Wei beheads! Turing Tuo shocked!_2
As for the outcome of the great battle, Duke Turing Tuo dared not harbor any illusions.
He was quite familiar with Duke Zhi Wei’s Southeast Army of 150,000, and although they didn’t match up to the Dragon Guard Army, they were still considered elite troops.
With 150,000 facing off against Suo Lun’s army of over 50,000, a threefold military force besieging the city, it was almost certain that the Fenglei Fort Defense Line would be breached without a doubt.
For Suo Lun to have held out for half a month was already quite remarkable.
After the battle commenced, Duke Zhi Wei sent only one letter, stating that on the first day of the siege, they suffered a minor setback, so they switched to besieging the Fenglei Fort Defense Line, waiting for the arrival of the Turing Tuo Army.
Upon receiving this letter, Duke Turing Tuo felt pride and sneered, Zhi Wei was overly eager for glory, wanting to monopolize the feat of eradicating Suo Lun by attacking Heavenly Water Main City ahead of time, and had suffered a loss. He truly deserved it.
On the first day of Zhi Wei’s attack on the Fenglei Fort Defense Line, more than 80,000 died, a complete disaster, yet in the letter he sent to Turing Tuo, he merely mentioned a minor setback.
Since then, Duke Turing Tuo had received several urgent letters from Duke Zhi Wei, all of which urged him to hasten his march and quickly reach Tian Shui City, with no other content.
Latter on, the entire battlefield and its surroundings were sealed off by Suo Lun, including the skies being blockaded by griffin beasts, making it very difficult for any messages to get out.
Therefore, the last secret letter from Zhi Wei was from five days ago.
Now, upon receiving another secret letter from Duke Zhi Wei, Duke Turing Tuo’s eyebrow twitched and he said, "It better not be that the Fenglei Fort Defense Line has already fallen and Zhi Wei has taken down Heavenly Water Main City. That would be too fucked up, making my march of several thousand miles with two hundred thousand troops utterly pointless."
