Chapter 284: Pre-War Preparations
When the morning sun rises, the city of Broken Blade also begins to become lively.
The city, where 200,000 troops were stationed, turned into a huge war machine, moving slowly and orderly.
Groups of cavalry galloped through the city, and finally converged in front of the east gate, and then marched out of the Broken Blade City from the east gate.
Half of the 200,000 troops of the Xianglong Kingdom were well-equipped lightly armed cavalry, and these 100,000 cavalry were the biggest support for Deng Yi'an and Zhang Liao to fight in the field.
And now the one who is leaving the city in an orderly manner is the 100,000 cavalry troops of the Xianglong Kingdom.
Of course, choosing to fight in the field with the Tenglong Army was also Deng Yi'an's helpless move.
The small walls of the Wild Lion City are short, not as easy to defend and difficult to attack as the Broken Blade City, and the Dragon Legion is mainly cavalry, so it is not good at defending the city.
Therefore, once it falls into a passive defense battle, in the face of the Xianglong Kingdom army with a large number of superior siege equipment, the advantage of the Dragon Legion will be lost.
Zhang Liao knew this well, so he made up his mind from the beginning, as long as the Xianglong Kingdom army in Broken Blade City moved, he would immediately send cavalry to provoke the other party, not giving the other party a chance to organize a siege battle, but dragging it into the field cavalry battle.
The army of the Xianglong Kingdom is huge, about twice the number of the Tenglong Legion, but there is not much difference between the two sides in the number of cavalry.
Even if the Great Zhou army lacked dragon horses, the cavalry of the Tenglong Legion could remain at about 60,000 people.
In this way, the gap between the two sides in the field can be narrowed to a minimum.
"Today, I want to let the courtiers see that I, Deng Yi'an, am no worse than Deng Qingwen, he can capture Broken Blade City, and I can capture Da Zhou!"
On the top of the city tower, looking at the cavalry that was constantly marching outside the city, Deng Yi'an's eyes flashed with a glimmer of ambition.
In yesterday's battle, he underestimated the enemy because of his carelessness, resulting in a slightly larger loss in the Xianglong Kingdom, but today he is fully prepared, and with the people of the Beast Mercenary Group promising to go all out, he will definitely be able to usher in a big victory today.
As long as he won today, he could slap the courtiers in the face and tell them how bad their vision was.
For a long time, he was considered to have relied on Deng Qingwen to get to where he is today, which made him very unhappy.
He always felt that his father-in-law Deng Qingwen was actually nothing more than that, and it took so many troops to capture a Broken Blade City.
And he, Deng Yi'an, wants to use 200,000 soldiers and horses to capture the entire western part of the Great Zhou today.
In the future, he will conquer the entire Great Zhou and establish an unprecedented immortal feat in the Xianglong Kingdom.
"Marshal, the 100,000 cavalry corps has all left the city, do you think you want the infantry corps to follow?"
A lieutenant in dark red armor came to Deng Yi'an's side and asked for instructions.
Deng Yi'an sorted out his thoughts and said: "Just leave 10,000 infantry to defend the city, and all the remaining infantry legions will bring siege equipment and go to the Wild Lion City with the cavalry legion." ”
The adjutant general was stunned for a moment and said, "Marshal, leaving only 10,000 infantry to defend the city, will it be too few? What should I do if the enemy sneaks up?"
Deng Yi'an waved his hand lightly, and said with a determined face: "Don't worry, the rest of Qingshan City and White Jade City are all old and weak soldiers, and they have no ability to attack Broken Blade City at all." ”
"The defenders of Broken Lion City who are capable of attacking Broken Blade City are the defenders of Madness Lion City on our east side, but today we are attacking them, and they will not be able to divide their forces to attack Broken Blade City, otherwise they will kill themselves. ”
"Take 10,000 steps back, even if Broken Blade City is really attacked, where can the tens of thousands of troops stationed on the border of our country support in half an hour, do you think these 10,000 defenders can't hold Broken Blade City for half an hour?"
Regarding Deng Yi'an's explanation, the deputy general also felt that it was indeed reasonable, maybe he was really worried!
"By the way, how are the people of the Beast Mercenary Group preparing?" Deng Yi'an asked.
At the mention of the Beast Mercenary Regiment, the adjutant general's face showed a hint of jealousy, and then said: "Marshal Qiyu, the leader of the Bully Tiger has already set off with the members of the group, but Miss Meidie is still in the city." ”
Deng Yi'an said: "Don't worry about her, as long as the head of the Tiger Regiment personally takes action, Zhang Liao will definitely die, and it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less butterfly." ”
......
"It seems that we are not late, Zhang Liao does not seem to have started a war with the enemy yet!"
At the junction of Broken Blade City and Crazy Lion City, Xiao Chen's group, who had been driving all night, slowly landed on a dead tree in the wilderness.
The environment in the west is very different from that of the Imperial City, although it is not full of yellow sand, but it is also quite bleak and desolate, and the population is rare.
Maybe it's because there are often wars here!Xiao Chen felt that even the air was filled with the smell of death.
"Now that we have just arrived, even if the two sides want to go to war, they need time to prepare!" Bai Feng glanced at the sun in the east and spoke.
"In that case, let's wait here for now! Wait for the war to begin!" Xiao Chen said.
The purpose of his coming here was to prevent the Human Palace from intervening, but since he had come to the battlefield, he would definitely make a move at the right time to reduce the casualties of the Great Zhou soldiers.
"Your Majesty, just wait here first, I'll go to Broken Blade City to have a look!" the Great Priest suddenly spoke.
Da Si Ming is different from others, everyone else has been loyal to Xiao Chen from the beginning, and their loyalty is very good, but Da Si Ming is passively surrendered, so she will not revolve around Xiao Chen like others.
Just like now, let her accompany Xiao Chen in the field and wait for the war to come, she didn't have that kind of heart.
Xiao Chen was already used to the great priest's own thing, he just said: "Go ahead, by the way, there are a few masters in the palace, but remember, don't make too much trouble." ”
The weakness of the Northern Regions is famous, and it is impossible for the Human Palace to send the Martial King to enforce the law in this area where the cultivation is capped at the Martial Spirit.
Therefore, Xiao Chen was not worried about the safety of Da Si Ming at all.
The Great Priest just nodded slightly, and then floated away from the tree.
......
"General Le Yi, how is the arrangement?"
On the streets of the Crazy Lion City, a group of cavalry of the Dragon Legion was also busy shuttling, and Zhang Liao was also riding a dragon horse and standing on the street.
Of course, he didn't know that Xiao Chen would appear on the western border overnight, and he was still nervously arranging pre-war matters.
Le Yi said beside Zhang Liao: "Please rest assured, the residents of the Crazy Lion City have already moved away after the defeat of the Crazy Lion Sect, and as long as it takes another hour, the remaining residents will all be able to move out." ”
Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Very good, leave three thousand soldiers behind, continue to assist the residents to move out of the Wild Lion City, and the rest of the people will go out of the city with General Ben to meet the enemy!"
"Yes!"
Le Yi answered, and then took his own soldiers out of the city first.
At the same time, Zhang Liao led his soldiers to the direction of the city gate, where the torrent-like Tenglong Legion was leaving the city in an orderly manner.
"Yan Qing, Meng Hui, the outcome of today's battle depends on you!"
And at the head of the Crazy Lion City, Bai Qi, dressed in black armor, was looking into the distance distractedly.
