Night.

In the barracks, Li Ding was discussing with the crown prince Qin Zhenqian and others in the main camp how to deal with Great Xia.

Suddenly, a scout walked into the big bill, knelt down on his knees, and held a letter in a blood-red envelope with both hands, and said, "Report to the marshal, there is an urgent military situation on the border. ”

"Pick it up. Li Ding sat down at the table and spoke.

The scout placed the letter on the table in front of Li Ding and exited the tent.

Li Ding picked up the letter on the table, frowned after reading it, and said loudly: "Send the order, let everyone pack their things, continue to hurry tonight, and don't rest until they arrive in Falling Star City." ”

"Yes" The herald received the order, and immediately withdrew from the big tent and went down to give the order to the ministries.

"Marshal, has there been a change in the border?" asked the crown prince Qin Zhenqian.

Li Ding nodded and spoke: "A large number of mysterious black armor troops suddenly appeared on the border and attacked Sifang City and Falling Star City, and Li Mu, the city lord of Sifang City, personally led the Four Elephant Legion to barely repel the enemy army, and the Falling Star Border City of Falling Star City was breached, and only 280,000 of the 400,000 Falling Star Guards were left to lead the people of the city to flee back to the Falling Star Main City. ”

"The Falling Star Border City has been destroyed, and only 280,000 of the 400,000 Falling Star City Guards are left. General Li Mu personally led the Four Elephant Legion to barely repel the Black Armor Army, this Black Armor Army was definitely not the army of Great Xia, and it was impossible for Great Xia to have such a terrible Black Armor Army. Qin Zhenqian's face was full of shock and disbelief.

Li Ding frowned and continued: "Not only that, the letter said that there are many masters in the Black Armor Army that attacked the Falling Star Border City, among which there are two masters of the Transformation God Realm, and these two masters can transform into toad giant beasts and six-armed King Kong respectively. ”

"According to the old man's understanding, it is absolutely impossible for the old bald donkey and the poisonous old monster to join forces, and it is really strange that the core disciples of their sect appeared in the Falling Star Border City, and they also joined forces to attack the Falling Star City. Speaking of this, Li Ding was also a little puzzled and couldn't figure out the reason.

After Li Tianxing heard Li Ding's words, he thought carefully in his heart, the other party sent a large number of black-armored troops to attack the city, and the Falling Star Border City was broken in one day, and the Sifang City needed the elite Four Elephant Legion to attack to repel the other party.

This shows that the other party should just want to send a large number of troops to make a gesture, wanting to take the Falling Star City and the Sifang City in one fell swoop, and directly open the southern gate of the Great Shang.

But does the other party really have the ability to take down Falling Star City and Sifang City at the same time?

Let's take the Falling Star City as an example, although it can break through the Falling Star Border City in one day, but it is definitely not easy to break through the Falling Star City, the Falling Star Main City has more than one million troops, and the Falling Star Formation makes all countries in the world jealous, once the Falling Star City Guard is forced to open the Falling Star Formation, no matter what army it is, it is absolutely impossible to be their opponent.

Not to mention the Sifang City, 200,000 Sixiang Legions, millions of elite city guards and 2 million soldiers, it is simply a fool's dream to break through the Sifang City with the current black armor army.

In this case, why did the other side attack these two great cities on a large scale? What is the purpose, what is the benefit, it cannot break through the city, it cannot be plundered, and it is not beneficial.

Is the opponent sure that they can attack the Sifang City and the Falling Star City, or can they capture either the Falling Star City or the Sifang City?

At this time, taking Sifang City can be called the entire Yangzhou of big businessmen at your fingertips, and taking Luoxing City can almost hold one-third of Yangzhou firmly in your hands.

The strongest combat power of the Great Shang in the south is the Sifang City and the Falling Star City, the two big cities are located in two lifelines, as long as any of the two cities are breached, the rear roads are in all directions, it is very difficult to form a defense line again, and the defense line will be very long.

The Black Armor Army of Sifang City and the Four Elephant Legions of Sifang City retreated after a big battle, and the Black Armor Army of Falling Star Border City will attack and destroy Falling Star Border City at all costs, even against their comrades.

According to the other party's actions and his own calculations, Li Tianxing can be sure that since there is no possibility that the Sifang City will be breached, then the other party definitely wants to capture the Falling Star City, and the other party's certainty must be not small, otherwise they will face the anger of the entire Great Shang.

"Marshal, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the last general thinks that the purpose of the Black Armor Army is to take Falling Star City, and as for attacking Sifang City, it should just be to hold back the army of Sifang City and prevent it from supporting Falling Star City. The subordinates thought that we needed to write to the imperial court, and let the Holy Majesty order to summon the elite city guards of the cities near Falling Star City and the Vermilion Bird Guards of Sifang City to support Falling Star City as soon as possible. Li Tianxing frowned slightly, and said with a solemn face.

Hearing this, Li Ding whispered to Zhang Qianzhong beside him, and Zhang Qianzhong nodded lightly and walked out of the big tent.

Li Ding stared at Li Tianxing and said, "Tianxing, the military aircraft is very involved, and you can't guess out of thin air at will, unless you can convince the old man of the reason for this order." ”

"Marshal Xie, the Black Armor Army attacked Falling Star City and Falling Star City at the same time, and they didn't let Sifang City and Falling Star City notice their march beforehand, the Black Armor Army must have spent a lot of effort on this, proving that they have been plotting for a long time, they feel confident that they can capture Sifang City and Falling Star City, or one of the two, the last general can be sure that the leader of the Black Armor Army must know Sifang City and Falling Star City very well. After Li Tianxing arched his hand at Li Ding, he said with a serious face.

"But what makes the last general feel strange is that the Falling Star Border City was breached overnight, and the Sifang City only dispatched the Four Elephant Legion to barely hold it, although the Four Elephant Legion of the Sifang City is famous all over the world, but there are only 200,000 people, and the Falling Star City Guard is full of 400,000, and it can still be broken by relying on the advantage of the city wall, which shows that the real main force of the Black Armor Army is attacking the side of the Falling Star City. ”

"If you let the end choose by himself, the last general will also choose to attack the Falling Star City first, as long as he can take the Falling Star City, it is equivalent to firmly holding one-third of Yangzhou in his own hands, and use this as a base to gradually eat away at the entire Yangzhou. ”

A rather young general snorted lightly with disdain on his face, and said: "Having said so much, it is still a guess, how can such an important military aircraft event be decided by personal speculation, if you guess wrong, what if the enemy is attacking Sifang City? Can you afford to take responsibility for the matter?"

"With the last general's understanding of the Sifang City, if the enemy's main target is the Sifang City, it is absolutely impossible to break through the Sifang City in a short time, and we have enough time to go to the Sifang City to support. On the contrary, if the enemy's main target is Falling Star City, our reinforcements are slow, and it is very likely that the enemy will break through Falling Star City. Weighing the pros and cons, the Admiral thought that the Marshal should write a letter to implore the Holy Majesty to summon the army to support Falling Star City as soon as possible. Li Tianxing shook his head lightly with a cautious face and said.

The young general just opened his mouth to continue to refute.

The crown prince Qin Zhenqian opened his mouth and said: "Marshal Li, this palace thinks that what this little general said is reasonable, and this palace agrees with this little general's approach. ”

Li Ding's gaze withdrew from Li Tianxing, glanced at the crown prince Qin Zhenqian with deep meaning, nodded lightly and said: "The old man also thinks that what General Li Xiao said is very right, the Black Armor Army must have great plans in this battle, with the old man's understanding of Sifang City, no matter what enemy he encounters, it will not be able to be broken within a period of time, so the old man will write a letter to report to the Holy Lord, and ask His Royal Highness to also report to the Holy Lord, so that the ministers in the court will know that the situation is dangerous." ”
