Tengcheng, a city located between the mountains, naturally grows a kind of vines called "dragon's whiskers" around the walls of Tengcheng, which can spread for tens of meters, so it wraps around the surrounding walls of the city. It produces fist-sized fruits, which taste sour, but they can also be used to feed their stomachs in times of famine. It is precisely because of this that the walls of Tengcheng are full of vines, but no one is going to cut them down.
At about noon, the flag on the city gate was swaying, and the Zi Yinhua Empire flag fell in the muddy water. It was trampled by cavalry arbitrarily. A red cloud-marked flag flew high. Just last night, Tengcheng fell. Now Already under the control of the army of nearly 150,000 Tianji Empire, the city is surrounded by densely packed camp tents, endless, with great momentum.
In the city lord’s mansion, Marshal Bei Minghuan gently placed the flying report in his hand on the coffee table, his face was slightly ugly, and he looked at the generals on both sides of the separation and said: "The day before yesterday, the three prefectures and counties in Cangzhou were attacked. Most of the grain and grass were burned, and the attackers were cavalry soldiers. They left immediately after a successful blow, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye. What happened?"
At the first place, the counselor Gong Shangming respectfully said: "The tenth is together."
"Let's discuss it, what should I do?"
Bei Minghuan looked at the generals with cold eyes. After a while, there was no one to speak. He suddenly dropped a palm on the table and said angrily: "A group of trash, at the critical moment, they are speechless. What's the use of you
"Marshal calmed down."
Gong Shangming picked up the tea cup and said, "This is obviously Lin Muyu's harassment tactics. The gentian army in Tongtian Province has been reduced to zero. Lin Muyu knows that he can't head-on with the main force of my Tianji Empire, so So they disbanded the gentian camp into a series of small forces, used mobility to contain us, and set fire to our rations, which was based on the three armaments, in order to break our roots."
Bei Minghuan took a deep breath and said, "Sir, do you have a countermeasure?"
"have."
Gong Shangming smiled faintly: "Xiaosheng has three tactics. I don't know which Marshal would like to listen to?"
"Let’s talk about it first."
"Yes. It's actually very simple. The Tongtian Province is like a huge basin. As long as we are willing to consume our troops, we can send more than 100,000 troops to attack the Luohekou Fortress. Eat Lin Muyu’s hundreds of thousands of Longdan Camps one by one, but this will inevitably be severely damaged. It is said that Feng Jixing and Qin Yan have led a large army to garrison Luohekou, and Feng Jixing is also a member of the Broken Ding Realm. The famous general, plus the strong walls of the fortress at the mouth of the Luohe River, will surely bleed if you want to bite off this hard bone."
"Well, that's right." Bei Minghuan nodded and said: "What about the middle plan, let's talk about it?"
Gong Shangming smiled with his palm: "The strategy is simpler. Our army does not care about the safety of the five states behind them and attacked Tongtian City with all its strength. It is said that the people in Tongtian City have already evacuated. The heads of their defenders were laid down to act as the common people. On the one hand, they could frighten the Qin Empire, and on the other hand, it could also chill the military's mind. The people will be terrified of us, and it will be difficult for us to get what the people want."
Bei Minghuan frowned and said, "This plan will not work. His Majesty has repeatedly said before I leave, that you must first win the hearts of the people in order to break the Ding Realm. gentlemen?"
"Yes."
Gong Shangming's eyes flashed with a little fanaticism, and he smiled: "Lin Muyu has been on the battlefield and knows the essentials of warfare. From his harassment tactics, he can prove the ability of this deceased general, but harassment tactics also have drawbacks. Every team of Lin Muyu has a staff of nearly 10,000 people, and they also need food and grass to supplement the army, so we can take a slower action to deal with it."
"What is a postponement?"
"Don't be anxious, take it slowly." Gong Shangming said: "The first step is to clear the walls and clear the land. Each city gate is closed tightly, and a part of the troops are sent to guard. In the pasture, the people in the Longdan camp were unable to replenish their military rations. The third step is to open the granaries of various government depots to help the people in trouble and win the hearts of the people. The fourth step is to send people around to spread rumors. Food, countless killings, and even, we can send our people to pretend to be soldiers of the gentian camp to slaughter some small villages and towns, so as to make Lin Muyu lose the hearts of the people. In this way, the thirteen states of the vast province of our Tianji Empire It's already at your fingertips."
Bei Minghuan's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Mr. Really a wise man, no one of the three generals can match it!"
Gong Shangming smiled faintly, a trace of loneliness flashed across his face, and said: "If it weren't for being weak and sick and unable to practice martial arts since I was young, I would like to charge into battle and shroud in horse leather. In the troubled times, we will make plans and make plans and turn the tide over the sea."
Bei Minghuan smiled: "Mr. Don’t be anxious. As long as you wait for the right opportunity, the Western Heaven Realm will definitely send a divine envoy to use the bright rough stone to open up Yu Du’s veins and sea of energy. Please believe this handsome, you can definitely be in the prime of life. Previously reached the cultivation level of a holy warrior."
"Then, thank you Marshal."
"Then... How about Tongtian City, shall we fight or not?"
"Tongtian City is already an empty city, and the Longdan Camp has retreated, but from here to Tongtian City, there is a wolf cliff. Dingzhou Bo of the Qin Empire led nearly 50,000 troops to guard there. We are going to Tongtian City. , Must pass through Greed Wolf Cliff, so Uncle Dingzhou must get rid of it."
"It's easy."
Bei Minghuan smiled and said: "Uncle Dingzhou is just a very old man. With gold and silver lure, he ordered him to lead his subordinates to join him. Has he forgotten? Along the way, how much is the Great Qin Empire? The prefecture and county government look forward to returning, huh... No matter how important the position of power is, can it still be important to survive?"
Gong Shangming smiled: "Bo Dingzhou is an exception. He has lived in Dingzhou for a long time and has always been very clean. Even after we entered Dingzhou, we did not find his belongings at all."
"So, this uncle Dingzhou is an egg without seams?"
"No, it's very simple to deal with him. I have sent someone to check that Dingzhou Bo has three sons, one of them is by his side, and the other two are in business in Dingzhou. We sent people Xingye Jiancheng to arrest his two sons. As a threat, he loves the third son very much. As long as we hold his third son, the 50,000 people of Uncle Dingzhou will be ours."
"Well, this matter will be handled by the husband."
"Yes!"
…
Two days later, Dingzhou Bo returned, Greed Wolf Cliff fell, Dingzhou Bo's 30,000 horses returned to the Tianji Empire, the remaining 20,000 prefecture army resisted and was killed, and the few remaining soldiers fell into the mountains and forests.
On the 19th, Lin Muyu's subordinates successively seized nine cities in Leizhou and set fire to grain and grass to break the way for the empire.
On the 21st, the Weiqiu Subdivision intercepted and killed the reinforcements of the Tianji Empire in Cangzhou, beheading more than 5,000 people.
On the 22nd, Situ Sen’s department burned Junzhou City.
On the 25th, Lin Muyu's troops attacked the Liuji Corps camp in Shangyuan County, Dingzhou at night, beheading more than 3,000 people.
On the 26th, Lin Muyu and Wei Qiu's subordinates joined Xu Zhou, but they were hunted down by the 50,000 troops of the Exile Corps and forced to take refuge at the foot of the Tianqiong Snow Mountain.
As of the evening of the 27th, Lin Muyu's one hundred thousand gentian camp in Tongtian province had been unable to do anything, and his troops were severely damaged and defeated all the way.
On the 28th, Bei Minghuan gathered a large amount of grain and grass, commanded 200,000 troops, and came close to the fortress at the mouth of the Luohe River. The battle was about to start.
The battle of Luohekou is very important. Once Luohekou is lost, it means that the entire Lingdong province will be exposed to the iron hoof of the Tianji Empire, and the empire can hardly resist the invasion of the Tianji Empire.
…
In the middle of the night, the warm wind blew across Lingnan, and April in the Middle-Earth Continent was about to pass. After May, the hot summer was about to come.
On the map of the western province of Volley, the sound of war drums rose to the sky, and the densely packed Blackrock Empire army on the ground was clamoring feverishly. Their iron spears carried heads that were about to rot, and the rear of the war horses dragged the conquered with ropes. Lingnan woman, with many battle flags, the marshal Bailiqin's face was proud, looking at the jungle in the distance.
There, the empire's battle flag was spread over the forest, it was the army of Cangnan Province, and the ruler was Cangnan Hou Xu Jiantao.
"Xu Jiantao this fox!"
The corner of Bailiqin's mouth raised, and said, "After avoiding us for so long, is he finally going to fight head-on this time? Bailiyan, do you think we can defeat them smoothly in this battle?"
Bailiyan, a Confucian scholar on the side, looked cold and said: "Ancestor, Xu Jiantao is not simple. We can't be too underestimated. Since he dares to fight, this shows that he must be prepared. Otherwise, he must be prepared with his prudent behavior. Come out to fight us."
"Yes?"
Baili Qin Wei smiled and said: "Lin Muyu's Longdan Camp has been broken up by the Exile Corps in the Tongtian Province. This Great Qin Empire is already like a dog of the mourning family. How can Xu Jiantao fight against us? With his 50,000 lines Will the provincial army come against my 300,000 heroes?"
"How did the ancestors think to fight?"
"Crush it head-on, let Xu Jiantao see the power of the Blackstone Empire!"
Bailiyan was silent for a few seconds, and said: "Then let me take ten thousand tigers and leopard riders from the flanks to outflank them, can you?"
"Well, as you wish, go!"
"Yes!"
…
In the middle of the night, the warm wind blew the empire's deep blue purple flower banner, and the horse seemed to feel the sharpness of the tiger and leopard rider, and became restless, snorting, and constantly stepping on the ground.
Xu Jiantao carried a spear, and Yuan Zhen Yue stood on a horse under the battle flag, staring deep into the distance.
Can this battle be won
If it can win, then it would be great. At least it can stop the killing of the Blackstone Empire, so that the people of Lingnan Province are exempted from the disaster of extinction. You must know that Lingnan Province is the richest of the four major southern provinces, and it pays taxes every year. This is as much as 70% of the other three provinces. Once Lingnan province is also occupied, the empire's treasury will be stretched. If there is no money or food, how can we fight
Xu Jiantao took a deep breath and said, "Get ready to go to war!"
"Yes!"
