"Boss, the current situation of Ade is that King Wu's Xizhou army is attacking Shacheng and Heishui City, and now the situation is a bit bad, the defenders of the two cities of Shacheng and Heishui City are only about 50,000 people, and King Wu has gathered 200,000 troops, wanting to capture these two cities in one fell swoop, and then use this as a springboard to attack eastward. ”

On the way to the border of Xizhou, Zhou Yang took out a map and analyzed it to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian had already studied the map of Xizhou, and said: "The border line between Xizhou and the east is the Heishui River, judging from the map, Shacheng and Heishui City are the throats, as long as King Wu captures these two cities, he can attack and retreat." ”

Zhou Yang nodded.

"And what shall we do?"

Qin Tian looked at the generals who were discussing together in the temporary camp tent and said, "We are going to Sand City and Blackwater City to rescue now, is it too late?"

Xu Kuan shook his head slowly, and said: "Shacheng must be too late, and the fortifications of that city in Shacheng are not firmly repaired, and it is the closest to Xizhou, even if we rush over within a day, I am afraid that the Xizhou army has already taken Shacheng, not to mention, it is difficult for us to arrive within a day." ”

"The situation in Heishui City is better than that of Shacheng, the fortifications are good, the city walls are very high and thick, and they can withstand the impact of true qi, plus it is nearly a hundred kilometers away from us, if we rush to Heishui City now, and the Xizhou Army does not attack Heishui City immediately after capturing Shacheng, we will have a chance to defend it. ”

Qin Tiandao: "Since this is the case, then let's act quickly, if Shacheng is lost, it will be lost, but Blackwater City cannot be lost, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to advance westward in the future, and the initiative is all in the hands of King Wu." ”

At that moment, Qin Tian sent Zhao Lanjin to lead 50,000 troops, all cavalry and flying beast soldiers, and went straight to Blackwater City.

And Qin Tian led his main force to continue to the base camp Crescent City, which was the base camp city for the battle against Xizhou.

When he continued to hurry, Zuo Yuanhao came to Qin Tian's side, and seemed to have thought about it carefully, and said to Qin Tian: "General, the last general has a bad premonition...... I'm afraid that this time, Blackwater City will fall into the hands of the enemy. ”

Hearing this kind of frustrating words, Qin Tian was not angry, he knew Zuo Yuanhao's military ability, and asked, "Yuan Hao, why did you say this? You mean that General Zhao Lanjin rushed over, and he couldn't fight the Xizhou army. ”

Zuo Yuanhao shook his head and said, "That's not the case, I'm worried, General Zhao rushed over in the starry night, Blackwater City...... has fallen. Of course, I hope that this will not be the case, but I feel that it is very likely that ......"

"Do you have any basis for judgment?"

"Yes. Zhang Lang, the general of Blackwater City, is a gentleman, who was promoted by bribery, and is timid and afraid, this time he is in a dangerous situation, I guess he will not resist desperately, but ...... Either surrender or abandon the city and flee. ”

Zuo Yuanhao's words reminded Qin Tian that he didn't know much about this Zhang Lang, but Zuo Yuanhao had investigated it, so ...... Could it be that this guy is really a straw bag?

That night, Zhao Lanjin's spies rushed back.

"General, when we arrived about eighty kilometers away from Blackwater City, we got the news that Blackwater City had fallen into the hands of the Ruxi Zhou Army, and that Zhang Lang, with his 50,000 people, surrendered directly!"

The spy's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, which directly made Qin Tian is stunned on the spot, and his face suddenly stiffened!

Get off the wrong foot!

As soon as I arrived at the border of Xizhou, I encountered such a thing, Shacheng fell, and more than 30,000 of the 50,000 people were still on the way back.

And Blackwater City, this Zhang Lang, turned out to be completely non-resistant, and directly took his 50,000 people to open the door and surrender, which is really hateful!

"Hmph, Zhang Lang...... There's a kind!"

After hearing the spy's words, Qin Tian was angry for several seconds, and then said, "Order Zhao Lanjin to gather the soldiers who have returned from Shacheng and return to Crescent City together." ”

After the spies left, Qin Tian immediately took out the map, and then hurried Zhou Yang and the others to the roadside to study together.

At this time, when King Wu attacked Xiasha City and Heishui City, the next city to attack should be Yecheng and one of Sanshan Town.

"Sanshan Town is basically defenseless, I am going to transfer the five thousand garrisons there to Yecheng, and all the supplies will be transported away, and all of them will be concentrated in Yecheng. This Yecheng is the focus of the next offensive of the Xizhou rebels, and we must defend it. ”

Qin Tian said, looked at Xu Kuan, and said, "General Xu, I am going to let you go to defend Ye City, how many troops do you need to ensure that Ye Cheng is not lost?"

When Xu Kuan heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "I know the topography of Yecheng very well. Before the valley, it was difficult for the enemy's flying beast soldiers to play a role, so they could only attack head-on, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

"It's just that, as far as I know, the walls of Yecheng are in disrepair, and if they are really put on the battlefield, I am afraid they will not be able to withstand the attack of the Xizhou Army for long. ”

Saying that, Xu Kuan looked up at Qin Tian and said, "General Qin, give me 100,000 troops, and I can guarantee that within three months, the Xizhou army will not be able to cross Yecheng." ”

"In addition, if you equip me with 10,000 repairmen and the corresponding materials for building the city wall, I can ensure that the Xizhou Army will not be able to take Yecheng within a year. ”

Xu Kuan stared at Qin Tian with great confidence and spoke slowly.

If someone else said this, Qin Tian would definitely think that he was exaggerating, but when Xu Kuan said it, Qin Tian believed it without hesitation.

There were 100,000 people in Yecheng, and more than 600,000 troops from the Xizhou Army and the Demon Clan, that is, six times the strength of the troops, Qin Tian knew that Xu Kuanzhi had faced ten times his enemy army attacking the city he was defending, and he had defended it.

Now that Xizhou is his hometown, he is familiar with it, and Qin Tian still trusts him very much.

"Okay, I'll give you 150,000 men, and you give me three months. ”

Qin Tian agreed to Xu Kuan's conditions without hesitation, "In addition, I will immediately ask Zhou Yang to prepare the repairmen and corresponding materials you mentioned, and strive to make them available to you within half a month." ”

Qin Tian looked at Xu Kuan and said, "General Xu, I hope you will build Yecheng into the strongest fortress in the west, and no one can attack it." ”

Xu Kuan nodded and said: "If you want to attack, how to capture a city, maybe the last general can do his best, but when it comes to defense, as long as the last general is given enough troops and the power to deploy troops independently, the last general will definitely be confident in facing the attack of any powerful enemy!"

With Xu Kuan's assurance, Qin Tian didn't say anything, and directly asked Xu Kuan to hold Ye Kun and Zuo Yuanhao, and the three of them formed a partner, led 150,000 troops, and went straight to Ye Cheng.

Qin Tian was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, and there would be an accident when it was late.

When Xu Wan left with 150,000 people, there were only 2,000 escorts left on Qin Tian's side, and their group turned around and headed towards Crescent City.

Thanks to the 200 book coins reward of "tired and persistent"!
