A month later, instead of waiting for him to start dealing with Cremation City, his Alchemy City was surrounded by an enemy army of 50,000.

Zheng Ting finally started a counterattack from the passive defense for nearly half a year.

This time, the counterattack was easily repelled because of Tang Ye's timely support. However, this also undoubtedly slowed down the progress of Tang Ye's attack on Cremation City.

And this attack, the enemy retreated very decisively, and it seemed that Zheng Ting was just trying to show them that he had the ability to counterattack.

Tang Ye realized this situation, and also began to transfer troops from within the force to the periphery, but each city still retained thousands of soldiers and horses as a base to deal with possible accidents, and strengthen the connection between the various cities, and support each other at any time.

Now there are nine border cities of Tang Ye's forces, with a total strength of 710,000.

The innermost ten cities were garrisoned by 1,000 men each, and the middle eleven cities were garrisoned by 2,000 men each. In the outermost border nine cities, each city has an average of 70,000 or 80,000 people.

Of course, because of topography and other factors, although they are all border cities, it is normal for some cities to have more defenders and some to have fewer defenders.

Generally speaking, Tang Ye's current power is very stable, even if Zheng Ting has the ability to fight back, it may not be able to have much impact on Tang Ye.

As for Jiang Yao's forces in the southeast of Tang Ye, because they are still in an alliance, they don't need to think too much about it for the time being.

Jiang Yao currently has a total of sixteen cities, four of which have also been plundered from Zheng Ting recently.

Of course, such a speed can undoubtedly not be compared with Tang Ye's two fronts. Of course, Liang Xue's front was actually mainly to suppress Jiang Yao's development, otherwise Jiang Yao would definitely be able to win more cities at this time.

Because of the alliance, the relationship between Tang Ye and Jiang Yao's forces is quite harmonious.

However, in the face of Tang Ye's rapidly developing behemoth, Tang Ye knew that the other party would definitely not be as stable as it appeared. In the future, it is likely that he will form an alliance with Zheng Ting's brothers to fight against him.

But as the so-called ship to the bridge head is naturally straight, there is no need to think about things so far now.

What he has to do now in the military is to prevent Zheng Ting from counterattacking, and at the same time close the battle line with Liang Xue's side, and then start to be on the defensive and recuperate for a year.

Time flies, and another half a month has passed.

During this period, Zheng Ting did not counterattack him again, but Lu Yi once came back from shopping and told Tang Ye that she had seen a very beautiful and amazing little fox demon on the street.

Tang Ye was shocked when he heard it, but he pretended to be surprised on the surface, and half-jokingly: "Oh? How beautiful is it, and how beautiful is Bao'er? ”

"Hmm......" Lu Yi glanced at Bao Xi, who was standing aside and snickering, and said seriously, "Maybe...... Anyway...... No worse than Sister Bao'er. ”

Bao Xi on the side said directly: "Sister don't worry about me, she is indeed more beautiful than me." ”

Speaking of this, Bao Xi looked at Tang Ye with a gaze full of deep meaning. Although Tang Ye didn't say it, obviously because of the system, Bao Xi already knew the identity of the little fox demon.

Tang Ye laughed dryly, pretending to be surprised and said, "It's so beautiful, then how can I let it go?" Why don't you just be my third woman? ”

Hearing this, Lu Yi was slightly stunned, then looked at Tang Ye with a smile, and asked without fluctuating his voice: "Husband is serious?" ”
