Li Rulin and Shadow Talisman Saint were stunned when they heard this, both of them couldn't believe it.
Li Rulin said: "Marshal Xuancheng, are you kidding me? How could there be a cavalry regiment riding monster beasts whose combat effectiveness is higher than your Xuanwu Army?"
Xuan Cheng shook his head and said, "Although I don't want to admit this, it is true that the combat effectiveness of this monster army is indeed stronger than ours.
We had several confrontations before, and I thought we could find the opponent's weaknesses and change the situation. In the end, I found that apart from their smaller numbers, they basically had no weaknesses.
Their speed is extremely fast, and even if they keep traveling back and forth between the two official roads in the north and south, it will not affect them at all, and they can still exert their strongest combat power. "
After hearing what Xuan Cheng said in person, Li Rulin and Shadow Talisman Saint had to believe that it was the truth.
"Where on earth did these guys come from? Why does the Tang Kingdom have such an army? Why have I never heard of it before?"
After all, Li Rulin is a Tang citizen. Even if he has never seen the secret legion of the Tang country, it is impossible that he has never heard of it. At least this was the case when Li Tianyuan was alive.
Of course, if the founder of this cavalry regiment was Li Rushan, it is possible that he had not heard of it.
Shadow Talisman Saint glanced at Li Rulin and said, "Young Master, we can't care where these guys came from now. Our first priority is Tangjing City. We must conquer Tangjing City first.
Now that we don't have the dragon chariot, how can we capture the capital of Tang?"
Hearing this, Li Rulin looked towards the direction of Tangjing City with hatred and said, "I have been thinking about this question these days. Tangjing City's defense is so strong. If the dragon chariot can't break it, is there any way we can break it
Yesterday, I suddenly remembered one thing, that is, if Tangjing City wants to maintain a full-scale defense, a huge amount of spirit stones will be consumed every day.
However, Tang Jingcheng’s spiritual stone reserves are not unlimited, and it always has its own limits.
As long as we keep pretending to launch feints, Tangjing City will have to fully activate the rune formation on the city and consume a large amount of spirit stone reserves.
Once the spiritual stone reserves are exhausted, we don’t even need to attack the city with all our strength, the city will naturally fall apart.”
Hearing Li Rulin's words, Shadow Talisman Saint's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, how come we have all overlooked this problem. We are all thinking about how to destroy the city, but we never thought that we don't need to attack it by force. As long as the siege lasts long enough, Tangjing City will fall without a fight.
However, those reinforcements must have gathered together with the Zhenzhong Army, and their number can reach tens of thousands. We now have a total of 100,000 people. It is still somewhat difficult to surround the four sides of Tangjing City.
If the enemy fights desperately and breaks one side of our encirclement and helps Li Rushan leave Tangjing City, our plan will fail. "
Hearing Shadow Talisman Saint's words, Li Rulin's face darkened and he said, "For this, we have no other solution now. We can only rely on the Xuanwu Army and deploy defenses around the city at any time.
With the entire Xuanwu Army's 10,000-man force to defend, even if the enemy can organize 30,000 or 40,000 people, it will not be easy to break through our defense."
Hearing Li Rulin's words, Xuan Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. I will definitely keep a close eye on the movements around the city and prevent those guys from breaking through the encirclement."
… … … … … …
In Wushou Mountain, Ye Li, Bian Yingxiong and others are gathered together to discuss the rescue plan.
The current situation is not very favorable for them.
The troops they had, excluding the cavalry regiment, numbered only 38,000 men.
This number is not large, and it is still somewhat difficult to rescue Tangjing City.
"Everyone, our current situation is not very good, we are really short of manpower.
At this moment, there are nearly 100,000 people besieging Tangjing City, 90,000 of whom are relatively weak, and the remaining 10,000 are from the Xuanwu Army, who have extremely strong combat effectiveness.
If the Xuanwu Army were not there, we should be able to break through the encirclement by using 38,000 people to attack one city gate.
But now that the Xuanwu Army is standing by to provide support, it is basically impossible for us to break through the obstruction of 25,000 people and rescue His Majesty."
Bian Yingxiong spoke with a serious look on his face.
Ye Li was listening nearby, no one knew what he was thinking, and he didn't speak for a long time.
After a long while, Ye Li said, "If we can hold back the Xuanwu Army, Uncle Bian, can you break the encirclement?"
Hearing Ye Li's question, Bian Yingxiong was stunned and said, "Ye Li, you only have 3,000 people. It's a bit difficult to deal with ordinary Xuanwu troops. It's almost impossible to deal with 10,000 Xuanwu troops."
Ye Li glanced at Bian Yingxiong and said, "I can also transfer some people over. They have been training for a few days and can now do a real combat exercise.
If we can hold back the Xuanwu Army, I hope you can ensure that we can break the encirclement."
Bian Yingxiong heard this, looked at the others, nodded, and said seriously: "If Ye Li can really hold back the Xuanwu Army and prevent them from participating in the battle, we guarantee that we can break through the encirclement and rescue His Majesty."
Ye Li said: "Okay, then let's wait for a few days. When I gather another army under my command, we will launch the attack."
At this time in Tangjing City, Li Rushan was not in a very good mood.
The appearance of Li Rulin was a heavy blow to him.
From childhood to adulthood, he and Li Rulin had a relatively harmonious relationship. He never dreamed that his younger brother would stand against him.
Moreover, Li Rulin seemed to have joined the Mengshan Society or the Tianxia League. This was something Li Rushan had never expected. He had never anticipated that the three brothers would end up killing each other and only one would survive.
"Your Majesty, half of the city's spiritual stone reserves have been used up. If no reinforcements arrive within ten days, we will have no choice but to break out by force."
An old man said to Li Rushan with a worried look on his face.
Li Rushan glanced at the old man and said, "There are only ten days left, and I don't know if there will be reinforcements coming.
We can't summon our troops on the border. They must be entangled by the Yuan army. The situation is very unfavorable for us."
Li Rushan sighed, feeling extremely complicated. He really didn't expect that he would be forced to such a point.
Tian Kui Fu Sheng came over and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Shadow Old Ghost can't stop me by himself. Even if they break through Tangjing City, I will definitely be able to take you away."
