Some people may wonder why they don't take the sea route, because they can't go.

Why can't you go? This goes back to the beginning of Sakura's occupation of Tenxiong Island.

The western part of Tianxiong Island is mountainous and hilly, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Sakurawa thought that if it was a strong attack, the cost would outweigh the reward, so he decided not to move eastward.

The offensive is no longer an offensive, but it also does not want the four major forces to be too strong with the eastern mountains as their base camp.

Therefore, Sakurawa sent a large number of warships around Tenxiong Island to deal a devastating blow to all coastal cities in the east.

Since then, the shipbuilding industry of the four major powers has collapsed.

It is not without a force that secretly introduces shipbuilders and builds a large number of warships, but they always die before they can get out of the army.

And Sakura and also sent envoys into the four major forces to convey Sakurawa's meaning, so over time, except for some merchant ships, the four major forces did not have warships.

......

At this time, in the palace of Linqiu, the capital city of Beilin, four middle-aged men with somewhat similar appearances were sitting around, arguing about something with red ears on their faces.

"Big brother, Cai Houzhu's messenger is outside, how should we choose?"

"If you want me to say, it's better to accept Jianli's conditions. ”

"Your wife is Princess Jianli, so naturally she will say so. I think we should accept Sakurawa's conditions, and after dominating Tianxiong Island, we will be a prince no matter what. ”

The other man didn't speak, just looked at the man above.

The first man closed his eyes and pondered for a long time.

"Have you all forgotten your ancestral teachings?"

The momentum of the two people who spoke weakened a lot, but they still didn't let go.

"But now Guangwu is no longer able to protect itself!"

"It is because we have always remembered the ancestral teachings that we have ended up in such an embarrassing situation. The other three have long abandoned their ancestral teachings, and now they are living more and more nourishing. ”

The man who hadn't spoken before frowned.

"Nanlin and the Shangguan family are getting closer and closer, maybe after a while, they will jointly attack us, big brother..."

"Needless to say, we are born as Guangwu people, and we are also Guangwu souls when we die, and the root is in Guangwu, so that Cheng believes in it. ”

The other three had no choice but to stop talking.

A short time later, a man about sixty years old walked into the room.

"Meet the Lin family master. ”

"Hahaha, don't be so polite, what does the prime minister command?"

Cai Neng, although he has no power to restrain the chicken, but he has a three-inch tongue that is not rotten, and he is Cai Houzhu's clansman, so he has won Cai Houzhu's trust.

Although the official position is only six grades, no one dares to disrespect him.

"This is a handwritten letter from the prime minister, please take a look at the head of the Lin family first. If you have any doubts, just ask. ”

"Good. ”

After half a stick of incense, Lin, who had been calm, smiled proudly and gently closed the envelope with both hands.

"The prime minister is thoughtful, and the last general has no doubts. However, I need to wait for the Lingnan Tian clan to make some moves in Nanhe before I can unite Zhonglin and Nanlin. I also asked Tai Xing Ling to stay in the house for a few days and taste the fine wine of Tianxiong Island. ”

"That's a nuisance. ”

After Cai Neng left, the man who had only said one sentence before spoke.

"Big brother, what did the letter say?

"Guangwu is about to recover Tianxiong Island, and the Lingnan Tian clan, as the vanguard, has already opened to the Nanhe. ”

"Lingnan Tian Clan, they are only 100,000 soldiers, but Nanhe claims to have hundreds of thousands of troops. ”

"Don't worry, the prime minister has already ordered Tianxing Prefecture and Yuzhou to prepare their armies. As long as the Tian brothers carve out a place to settle in Nanhe, the army will continue to land on the island. ”

"Then what else is the prime minister looking for us?"

Lin Deyi did not ignore the third brother's doubts.

"Because our Tianxiong Island as a whole is high in the west and north, and low in the east and south, and our Lin family is the highest force on Tianxiong Island!"

Although it was still not clear, Lin Desheng had already felt the disdainful gaze sent by the brothers, so he nodded as it was.

"Then after the unification of Tianxiong, what good will we have?"

"Tianxiong will become the eleventh state of Guangwu, and our Lin family will be a thorn for generations. ”

......

Beimo City, the economic and political center of the northwest region of Beilin.

It had a permanent population of about 80,000 and 10,000 defenders despite being far from the border with Nakabayashi.

The people here have not been in war for a long time, and the city is peaceful.

The woods that stretch to the sea three miles outside the city, and the birds that usually fly and play in them are gone, but unfortunately no one pays attention to this phenomenon.

Otherwise, if they sent someone in to investigate, they would find that it was full of armies they had never seen before.

Liu Chang'an, dressed in military uniform, stood on a high place, looking at Beimo City through the branches.

Ma Yi and the other four stood behind him, and more than ever, there was a stream of blood hovering above their heads.

"Big brother, if it drags on like this, will the general be in a hurry?"

"We have an army of 30,000, and there are no more than 10,000 defenders in it. Moreover, the nearest city of Gui'an is more than seventy miles from Bemo City, and we will definitely be able to capture it before their reinforcements arrive. ”

"Although half of the 30,000 soldiers are outcasts who have not yet been on the battlefield, as long as they are careful, they will definitely be able to capture it with one blow. ”

Liu Changan nodded.

"Naturally. ”

Ma Yi and the others had a happy look on their faces and were about to speak.

"But half of the soldiers will be lost! Moreover, Binzhou City has 400,000 people and 150,000 troops, how can a single Belmo City accommodate everyone. ”

Ma Yi four: "......"

They were confident in taking the city of Bemo.

But if they take another city, they don't have that much confidence in their subordinates at this time.

"One thing to remember, after entering the city, the people are the main thing, if anyone dares to burn, kill and loot, kill innocents indiscriminately, behead!"

"Yes!"

......

I don't know if it's because there are no mountains to block it, and the bright moon on the island seems to be brighter.

The gates of the city of Bemo were closed early, and the walls were dotted with torches, illuminating the neighborhood as if it were day.

There were only two thousand soldiers on it, and the remaining eight thousand soldiers were resting in the barracks not far from the city walls.

The streets of Bémo tonight were more lively than usual, and in the midst of the jubilation, the city lord's mansion was on fire.

This was terrible, and the 8,000 people who were resting in the barracks were called to put out the fire.

Looking at the blazing Bemo City, Liu Changan waved the flag in his hand.

The 30,000-strong army stepped on the ground at the same time, and a roar sounded.

This voice was as familiar to the battle-hardened Beilin soldiers as eating and drinking, and the generals on the city wall shouted.

"Someone's coming to attack the city!

The so-called tree balls are dry firewood balls that are placed on the higher part of the city wall and lit to spread the news.

If it was a normal day, the City Lord's Mansion would soon receive the news and organize troops to defend it.

But at this time, the City Lord's Mansion was in chaos, and everyone's attention was on extinguishing the fire.

The black army outside was rapidly approaching, but the reinforcements were delayed, and the Beilin guard began to panic a little.

"Bow and crossbow ready!

There was an exclamation from below, and he turned to look down.

Hundreds of men dressed in people's costumes armed with broadswords had already reached the city gates, and hundreds more were killing the walls.

The body couldn't stop shaking, and he yelled heartbreakingly.

"Can't let them open the gates, stop them!"

......

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered at the beachhead, and the city that was being built in full swing was already beginning to take shape.

A war horse galloped into the barracks and rushed into Luo Daguang's tent.

"General Luo, the city of Bemo has been taken. ”

"Immediately let the old, weak, sick and disabled and some soldiers move. ”

"Yes. ”

......

Lin Deyi, who had been staggered with Cai Neng until late at night, had not yet fully sobered up, and his second brother Lin Defei pushed open his door heavily.

"Big brother, it's a big deal, Baymore City has been broken!"

Lin Deyi was still confused, how could he listen to this news, why did he use other ways to sober up.

"What?

"Fei'er is in the council hall. ”

"Which force did Zhonglin do it?"

"According to Fei'er's description, it should be the Guangwu Army. ”

"Guangwu Army? Tell Cai Neng to come to the council hall!"

"Yes!"

Lin proudly ran to the council hall, where a gray-faced young man knelt in the middle.

When I turned around and saw him, I was crying!

"Woo-father-"

"Don't cry! Tell me what the hell is going on!"
