Chapter 280: Frontline Military Intelligence

Three days passed quickly, and just as the news came from the Black Ice Terrace, the Xianglong Kingdom and the Tianpeng Kingdom launched a war against the Great Zhou.

The Xianglong Kingdom occupies Broken Blade City, so it is more favorable to the offensive posture of the Great Zhou.

The strategic position of Broken Blade City is like a sharp knife inserted into the hinterland of the Great Zhou, and the 200,000 troops of the Xianglong Kingdom can use this city as a basis to attack any city in the western part of the Great Zhou at any time, so that it can be attacked and defended at any time.

However, Zhang Liao's Tenglong Legion showed that its combat effectiveness was also quite strong.

Unlike the Fire Lin Legion, the Tenglong Legion was not entirely composed of the original forbidden army, but included nearly 30,000 soldiers from Lianyun City.

These soldiers had taken a large number of precious pills refined by Sun Simiao, and their cultivation had made a qualitative leap, coupled with Zhang Liao's previous many days of devil training, their strength had already surpassed the old-fashioned forbidden army, which was known as the elite.

After the reorganization of the army, this Tenglong Legion, which was composed of the defenders of Lianyun City and the forbidden army, was much stronger than the simple forbidden army.

Therefore, in the face of the Xianglong Kingdom border army, which was far inferior in strength to the forbidden army, the brief confrontation between the two sides on the first day ended in the victory of the Great Zhou.

On this day, the corpses were all over the front of Broken Blade City, and they were roughly swept over, and there were about nearly 10,000 corpses, both those of the Great Zhou and the army of the Xianglong Kingdom.

However, the battle did not last long, and ended after only one morning.

Crazy Lion City, a small city belonging to the Crazy Lion Sect, is not much different from the Spirit Sword City of the Spirit Sword Sect where Xiao Chen went to the beginning.

This city is located on the western border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, facing the east and west of Broken Blade City, dozens of miles apart.

Today, the Wild Lion City has become the garrison of the Dragon Legion.

At this moment, the Tenglong Legion was located in the marshal mansion of the Wild Lion Sect, and Zhang Liao was urgently discussing with Le Yi a strategy against the enemy.

Zhang Liao looked at the map on the table, and said with a hint of worry: "General Le Yi, in today's first battle, although our army has won a small victory, the situation is still not optimistic!"

Le Yi also looked at him solemnly: "The army of the Xianglong Kingdom is twice the size of my Great Zhou army, and it occupies Broken Blade City, holding the initiative to attack, although today relying on the strong combat effectiveness of our army, it has slightly thwarted the opponent's edge, but tomorrow's battle is probably more difficult." ”

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Yes, we must find a way to recapture Broken Blade City, otherwise the future war will be too passive, but ......"

Looking at the map in front of him, Zhang Liao's brows furrowed deeply.

Broken Blade City is surrounded by three cities, the Wild Lion City in the east, Qingshan City and White Jade City in the north and south, and the Xianglong Kingdom on the west.

It seems that the three cities surrounded Broken Blade City, but the truth is the opposite.

Qingshan City and White Jade City are weak in small soldiers, far from being as high and deep as Broken Blade City, easy to defend and difficult to attack, otherwise the Xianglong Kingdom would not have spent five times the price of Great Zhou to capture Broken Blade City.

Now, the strength of the Xianglong Kingdom in Broken Blade City is twice that of the Great Zhou army, and it is the side defending the city, and it is almost impossible to recapture Broken Blade City.

In the Tianluo Continent, the casualty ratio in siege battles was almost three to one, or even higher.

The Dragon Legion is also a cavalry legion, and it is even more wishful thinking to attack the city.

Although Qingshan City and White Jade City had a certain number of defenders, it was a problem for these two cities to protect themselves, let alone help the Dragon Legion attack Broken Blade City.

When the Xianglong Kingdom attacked Broken Blade City, these two cities finally managed to squeeze out 20,000 people to support Uncle Yan, but unfortunately the entire army was wiped out.

Zhang Liao believed that as long as the armies of these two cities went out of the city to attack Broken Blade City, the troops stationed on the border of the Xianglong Kingdom would definitely take advantage of the situation to capture these two cities, and when the time came, the defenders of these two cities would definitely be completely annihilated.

After a long time, Zhang Liao sighed and said, "This road on the west side of Broken Blade City is really deadly. ”

Le Yi also said helplessly: "Yes, the army on the border of the Xianglong Kingdom can support Broken Blade City through this road at any time." ”

"If we can't cut it off, even if we defeat the other party in the field, the other side will still have a steady stream of troops to replenish it, and a long tug-of-war will be too unfavorable for my Great Zhou!"

"We are fighting on two fronts, and the Fire Lin Legion in the south should also collide with the Tianpeng Kingdom, and the situation there is even more severe than here!"

Le Yi and Zhang Liao both wanted to fight a quick battle, and then divide their forces to support the south as soon as possible.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed on Zhang Liao's face and said, "Why don't I go to Broken Blade City at night and kill all the other party's commanders and generals." ”

Le Yi hurriedly said: "General, don't be so impulsive, according to the news from the Black Ice Platform, there are indeed a few masters in the other party's military camp, and they are likely to be from the Human Palace." ”

Zhang Liao was just talking angry, of course he knew that there were masters hidden in Broken Blade City, and they were not only masters of the Human Palace.

The master of the Human Palace is at least above the Martial Monarch Realm, but today on the battlefield, he encountered two strong martial arts who were not weaker than him at all, and they were obviously not from the Human Palace.

If it weren't for Le Yi's help, I'm afraid Zhang Liao would have suffered a small loss.

Therefore, the possibility of going to Broken Blade City to assassinate the enemy's high-ranking generals is almost zero.

"The general doesn't have to worry, at least we still have an advantage in the field, so we might as well fight with the opponent in the field for the time being, constantly hit the opponent's morale, and wait for the time to come," Le Yi advised.

Compared with Zhang Liao's slightly fiery temper, Le Yi seemed more calm.

This famous general of the Warring States who once commanded Yan Guo and other five-nation coalition forces to attack Qi State and conquer more than 70 cities in a row, his ability is a few points better than Zhang Liao.

However, because Zhang Liao's merits are greater, and his personal ability is fully qualified as the commander of any army, Xiao Chen asked him to be the chief general of the Tenglong Legion, and Le Yi assisted him.

Zhang Liao soothed the depression in his heart a little, and then said: "Le Yi, see if we can send a strange soldier to detour from Qingshan City to the west side of Broken Blade City, and then we will attack Broken Blade City from the front, forcing the border army of Xianglong Kingdom to come to the rescue, and then let that strange army ambush the other party's reinforcements and destroy their living force!"

Le Yi pondered for a moment and said: "General, our troops are too small, even if we just fight the enemy army of Broken Blade City head-on, it seems a little reluctant, if we divide our troops to ambush again, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to defend against the frontal attack of the Xianglong Kingdom!"

Zhang Liao also knew that it would be too difficult to do this, and if the Tenglong Legion divided its troops into the enemy's belly, he was afraid that it would be self-defeating, resulting in a shortage of defenders in the Wild Lion City.

When the time comes, the Xianglong Kingdom may seize the opportunity to capture the Wild Lion City.

"Report! General Qiyu, there is an enemy general called Poison Wolf outside the city, who is calling for battle!" At this time, a scout came to the lobby to report.

When Zhang Liao heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "This poisonous wolf, do you really think that General Ben can't kill him?

The poisonous wolf is one of the several martial arts powerhouses that have emerged in the Xianglong Kingdom.

Just as Zhang Liao was about to go to war, Le Yi stopped him, and then said to the scout who reported the military situation: "Hang up the exemption card, truce!"
