Will it fight to the death with the Western Cloud Empire, or will it continue to avoid it?

This has become a cruel problem that Yu China has to face.

But it was not what Bai Yuqi expected, and it was originally thought that Yu China had fallen into the arms of the Xiyun Empire after discovering that Chaoyun and Si Yu had thrown themselves into the arms of the Xiyun Empire.

Yu China, which was oppressed by the inland powers of Nanwan, would choose to retreat to the next best thing, give up the confrontation with the unknown Western Cloud Empire and the difficult Chaoyun and Siyu countries, and withdraw their forces to lower the enemy from the interior.

But when Yu China realized that the Western Cloud Empire was a mysterious force from the Western Continent.

After plotting to seize the Biye Kingdom, he began to attack the two countries of Chaoyunjiao and Yuxi Prairie.

Originally, after the setback of the Biye Kingdom, Yu China, which had somewhat reined, went crazy and began to concentrate its forces to attack the western grassland of Yuxi, forcing the Western Cloud Empire to have to respond to the war in an all-round way.

Yu China's reaction was indeed somewhat unexpected by Bai Yuqi.

This shows that those in power in Yu China believe that the threat from the inland powers of Nanwan is more terrible than the mysterious Western Continent power of the Xiyun Empire.

Rather than resisting the inland powers, it is better to take risks and fight with the Western Cloud Empire, a newcomer to the Outer Empire that has not yet gained a firm foothold in the Eastern Continent, to gain strategic depth.

Yu China, which had already missed the best opportunity to invade, launched a full-scale attack after sensing that the Western Cloud Empire was interfering in the Yuxi steppe.

Instead of focusing on fending off the attacks of landlocked powers, as was the case before.

Attacking the Three Kingdoms in the northwest border of Nanwan is just a way out to take precautions to leave a way back for yourself.

The main reason is that Yu China, which has long regarded the weak three northwestern countries as its own bag, feels.

If they don't work hard, once the Western Cloud Empire completely occupies the Yuxi Prairie and Chaoyunjiao, they may lose the opportunity to open up the back road.

And once this back road is lost, Yu China will fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the belly when facing the attack of the inland powers, and it is no wonder that they will almost jump over the wall in a hurry, and mobilize a large number of troops from the inland to attack frantically.

Faced with this situation, Bai Yuqi, who couldn't cry or laugh, had no choice but to continuously mobilize the troops of the Xiyun Empire from the Western Continent and plunge into a frontal war with Yu China.

After gradually forcing the Yuzhong army out of the western Yuxi prairie, a "Yushui Defense Line" was established along the "Yushui River" bordering Yuzhong to defend against the attack of Yuzhong China by taking advantage of its geographical advantages.

It is better to say that he was tempted by the favorable living conditions of the Western Cloud Empire, or that he was intimidated by the strong national strength and military strength of the Western Cloud Empire.

In the case of the existence of external pressure from Yu China, in the process of forcing the Yuzhong army out of the Yuxi prairie, the Xiyun Empire finally let the two kingdoms of Chaoyun and Si Yu, which had been eroded and infiltrated, completely return to their hearts and unify the northwest region of Nanwan to the west of Yushui.

In fact, this is not a difficult thing to choose, after all, after seeing the offensive of the Yu Chinese army that has really become serious, they are powerless to resist and have to ask for help from the Western Cloud Empire under heavy casualties.

Although the Western Cloud Empire is based on the covenant, it will provide them with material support.

But it will definitely not be like protecting the Si Yu Department who has joined the Western Cloud Empire, and unreservedly send a large army to help them resist the attack of Yu China.

The frontal battlefield of defending against the attack of the Yuzhong army still needs their own forces to be responsible for it.

This makes the soldiers of the two countries who have seen the strong army of the Western Cloud Empire and the inhumane luxury equipment of all kinds of trenches, and then look at their harpoons and wooden sticks like refugees, they will inevitably have different thoughts.

Not to mention Chaoyun Kingdom, in order to obtain the resource support of the Western Cloud Empire, they sold almost more than eighty percent of the mountainous land in their territory to the other party in exchange for food, various weapons and armor.

It's not okay not to sell it, after all, the original agreement signed with the Xiyun Empire was that ten ships of "earth and stone" minerals were exchanged for one shipload of food and materials.

But the premise is that the Western Cloud Empire has dug up the required earth and stone minerals and sent them back to the territory before sending supplies to the Chaoyun Kingdom.

If it is placed when the war is not fierce, this trading model can still supply the needs of the Shangchao Yun Kingdom, but when various strategic materials are urgently needed during the war, it will be too late to wait for the Western Cloud Empire to slowly mine.

Restricted by the buyer's market demand, Chaoyun Kingdom had no choice but to beg the Western Cloud Empire to directly "buy out" those mountainous areas and increase material support for them.

Although the Western Cloud Empire "reluctantly" accepted the request of Chaoyun State for the sake of the alliance agreement, the remaining two percent of their coastal territory was difficult to carry out strategic depth in the face of the pressure of the Chinese army.

Even from the hands of the Western Cloud Empire, he obtained sharp iron blades and various leather armor.

But the Chaoyun Kingdom, which has a total population of less than two billion, has a limited number of troops that can be drawn out after all, and it is far inferior to the Si Yu Kingdom, where all the people are soldiers.

Nearly 100 million Chaoyun warriors can't defeat the Yuzhong army when they go ashore, and although they can entangle one or two with their ability to resist water when they go to the sea, they can only tread water for a short time, and they can't really stay on the sea forever.

Once they are driven out of the sea by the Yuzhong army, they can't really live under the sea like the Longqiang people in the sea, right?

Therefore, when King Chaoyun was facing a desperate situation, he decisively took the remaining 20% of the land and people into the arms of the Xiyun Empire, anyway, 80% of the land was given, and the remaining 20% did not seem so distressed.

And Si Yu is the same, nearly one-third of the Yuxi prairie has fallen into the hands of the Xiyun Empire.

The Xiyun Division was still very honest, and took the initiative to send troops to help those brother tribes who had signed the vassal deed.

But the problem is that the two sides jointly sent troops to resist the Yuzhong army, and the soldiers on the side of the Xiyun Si Yu Department couldn't be killed no matter how they fought, and even the associated Bi beasts were wearing a full set of beast armor, and all the casualties in a battle were the Si Yu soldiers on their side.

Some of the larger Khan kingdoms could still withstand the loss, but some of the smaller Si Yu tribes were obviously unable to bear it.

Even if they win the battle like this, it is estimated that there will not be a few middle-aged men left in their clan, is it difficult to make a choice between exterminating the clan and joining the Xiyun Empire?

Those powerful Feng Khans, although they did not want to see the small tribes under their command fall into the arms of the Western Cloud Empire.

But the Xiyun Empire has finally sent troops to help the small tribes resist the Yuzhong army, are you unhappy that you also sent troops to protect these small tribes?

But they themselves are already unable to protect themselves, so they still have the spare strength to mobilize troops to help the small tribes withstand the pressure?
