Li Tianhao, who saw this situation, was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered Wei Song to be carried down for treatment, although Alam was hit by an arrow, fortunately, the injury was not serious, but he was just mentally ill after a long journey. Alam said as loudly as he could: "Two days ago, General Yaki Ulysses had led his troops across the trail into the mountains of Dils, we collided with them, we managed to escape, and now the whereabouts of this army are unknown, boss, find a way." ”

"How many troops does the other side have?"

"We don't see all of them, but certainly not less than 10,000."

This remark shocked everyone speechless, but they didn't expect that this little path that almost no one knew about not only knew, but also had secretly entered the Dils Mountains! This undoubtedly shows that the defense line of the city of Silis in the city of Heluer has collapsed, and the elite troops in the entire Dils mountain area are almost all concentrated on this front, and there are only a few garrison troops in the rear, which is almost indistinguishable from the empty city. Now that the Yaki Army has broken through the defenses, it can drive straight into Eslas City, or turn to the combined attack on Herur City or Selis City, so that the whole situation will be completely out of control.

Li Tianhao first asked Alam to be helped down for treatment, and then discussed countermeasures with everyone. Jimda was the first to speak: "The other side has more than 10,000 troops, and if they go straight to the city of Horur to attack with Epger, we will cut off supplies." ”

"No, I don't think they're going to attack the city of Horur," Senas disagreed with him: "This force is so large, and it is impossible for them to carry a lot of food supplies if they attack the city of Horur or the city of Silis." They wouldn't have much time without food, if I were Ulysses. I'll go straight to Essrath City and attack the surrounding Mekyr at the same time. Small cities such as Andaru and Kuran, which used the food supplies there to supplement the military. As soon as the news of their capture of Essrath spreads, the morale of the entire Dils mountain will be shaken, and if they gain a foothold, they will be able to deal with us calmly, and we will be divided into the cities of Horus and Silis to defend the isolated city. ”

Mueller nodded: "Lord Senas is right, now we must first hold Essrath City to stabilize the hearts of the people, and then we will divide our troops to relieve the siege." ”

Li Tianhao also nodded and said, "Now it has to be like this, but the defenders of Essrath City do not exceed two thousand. And there is also a lack of preparation, if there is a sudden attack, Lord Chail may not be able to hold it. ”

Mueller stood up and gave a deep salute: "Young Master, my subordinates are willing to go to Essrath City to inform the Alliance Leader, and at the same time help defend the city. ”

"Good! If you are in command of the defense, I can rest assured. You take three horses and set off at once, taking turns to change cars, so be sure to report the news as quickly as possible. As long as you hold out for ten days, I will be able to draw troops to relieve the siege. ”

"Subordinates obey." Mueller agreed. Immediately turn around and leave.

After Muller left, Li Tianhao ordered Jimda and Woolley to lead 2,000 troops to go first, and not to engage the Yaki army around the city of Esras, as long as they bluffed. Just create the illusion that the army has arrived, and confuse the Aki army.

Then he ordered Xenas and Zaran to stay behind, and Jamo went to the city of Silis to mobilize 5,000 men to help. Gather 3,000 cavalry yourself and prepare to go. At this moment, someone came to report: Lord Wei Song has woken up. I'm in a hurry to see you.

Li Tianhao had no choice but to put down what he was doing first and rushed to the ward to see Wei Song first. As soon as Wei Song saw Li Tianhao, he said, "Tianhao." Have you ever sent someone to save the city of Essras? ”

"Sir, recuperate with peace of mind, don't be too sad."

"It doesn't matter what hurts me! Now that the situation is critical, how can I stay out of it? ”

"Sir, don't worry, I have sent Muller to Essrath City to help defend it, and two thousand troops from Jimda and Woolley have gone to pretend to be suspicious soldiers, and are preparing to mobilize troops to come to the rescue."

Wei Song's eyes were full of anxiety, and he said, "Tianhao, you have done something wrong now!" ”

Li Tianhao was taken aback: "Why did Mr. say that?" ”

Wei Song shook his head again and again and said: "This time, the Yaji army came prepared, and the smuggling was successful, and the number of troops was no less than 20,000, if they had this force, they would definitely not come to our side, but take advantage of the false attack to take the surrounding cities of Essrath City to replenish the military supplies, and then besiege Essrath City." But the city of Essrath is not something that can be captured in a moment, and the other purpose of their doing this is to surround the point and send reinforcements, at this time it doesn't matter if you send Muller there, his target Xiaoyaki army may not be able to find out, but sending two thousand pioneers to go, and it is a fast march, it will definitely be ambushed by the enemy, and these two thousand people may be difficult to preserve. ”

Li Tianhao was anxious when he heard this, and immediately said: "They haven't gone far yet, it's too late to send cavalry to chase them, I'll go and chase them back." ”

Wei Song still shook his head: "Tianhao, let me ask you something." Now that our army has been divided into three parts: Horur City, Silis City and the vast area in the rear, how do you think we should deal with this situation? ”

This sentence made Li Tianhao silent, how critical the situation is now, Li Tianhao knows best in his heart, and after thinking for a while, Li Tianhao shook his head: "There is no way, divide the troops to save Esrath City, the remaining two cities will not be enough to defend, once the two cities are lost, the Yaki army will drive straight in, unless we can quickly solve the sneak attack of the Yaji army, otherwise our army will be attacked by the Yaji army." But if we don't save the city of Essras, the rear of our army will fall, and there is no way to save it. ”

"Indeed, as I said, the strategic value of the defensive line consisting of the cities of Hhorus and Selis lies in the absence of a third route into the mountains of Dils. But now there is a third way, which means that the Yaki Army has broken through this line of defense, and the value of this line of defense no longer exists. ”

"Sir, do you mean to give up these two cities?"

Wei Song moved his body with difficulty, the expression on his face distorted slightly, and he took a breath before saying, "It's not all like that, although we are in a very disadvantageous situation at the moment, it is not completely without a turnaround. But to reverse this unfavorable situation, you must make a choice, a life-and-death decision, and a choice that tests your heart. Tianhao, do you have this awareness? ”

Li Tianhao looked at Wei Song's solemn expression, as if he had realized something, which made him fall into contemplation again, and in the end, he nodded heavily and said, "Please give me advice." (To be continued......)
