Chapter 22 Three Turtles in the Urn

After hearing these reports, Everger trembled with anger and wanted to behead all the soldiers for public display. You must know that the city of Horur is not only the only supply route for its own side at present, but also has gathered a large amount of grain and grass in the city to be transported to the front, and now all these materials have become the Dils rebels. Now the Yaji army has more than 40,000 people and occupies several cities in the Dils Mountains, but there is no food and grass and baggage, once the food and grass are exhausted, and the army is discouraged and there is no way to retreat, it is unimaginable what kind of disaster the situation will turn into at that time.

Ulysses also frowned and said nothing, he saw that Ai Fujie was about to lose control of his emotions and quickly pulled him and said: "The current situation is critical, but it is not the worst, we must take measures to reverse this unfavorable situation as soon as possible." ”

Everje was woken up and hurriedly said, "Okay! I will immediately raise my army and take back the city of Horur! ”

Ulysses shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to take back this city. ”

"How is that possible? There are only a thousand thieves in that city, and even if the city of Horur is easy to defend and difficult to attack, our army will definitely be able to capture this city. ”

Ulysses smiled slightly and said, "Our intelligence in this area is very poor, and this time we suffered this loss by the thief army's sneak attack. I ask you, why did the thief army send only 1,500 men to attack this city? Isn't it a deliberate show of weakness? They obviously had nearly 7,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry. If our army cannot attack quickly, then the grain and grass will be cut off, and I am afraid that no one will be able to control the situation at that time. Taking a step back, even if we take this city, there is a good chance that the thieves will burn all the food and grass in the city. As a result, we will have to face the question of whether or not to relinquish control of some of the cities during the transfer from Highum City. They originally wanted to consume us for a long time, didn't this play into their hands? ”

"What should we do in the old general's opinion?"

"It's still the same as the original plan. I will guard Kuba's route to hold the enemy's reinforcements to the city of Silis, and you will lead the main force to attack the city of Silis. There are more than 50,000 people in Lord Vandallu, plus 30,000 of us here, and 80,000 troops are flanked in front and back, and no matter how much he does, Gernas will not be able to support it for a few days. As long as Sillis City is cleared, we can firmly occupy the Sillis-Kuba-Essrath line, and then it is not too late to try to reunite Ruhr City. ”

Avger was taken aback and said, "If I take 30,000 people away, then there are only more than 10,000 people left here, and more than 5,000 of them are still in Essrath City, is this only a few troops enough?" ”

Ulysses waved his hand and said, "Now it's important to open up the grain route. I'm just defending here, and the sooner you capture Cyris City, the safer it will be for me here, so Lord Evger, you should send troops as soon as possible instead of dwelling on this. ”

“?????? Then there is you, General Lao, and I will send troops! Everger no longer hesitated, and immediately led the army towards the city of Silis.

If things really went as Ulysses had predicted, then the city of Syllis really wouldn't last long, after all, the continuous onslaught of Vandallu for so many days still played a considerable role. Unfortunately, Ulysses did not anticipate two things: first, the defenders of the city of Horus really only had 1,800 soldiers of Xenas, if Ephraim attacked it. Xenas would have had no choice but to flee into the mountains again. Second, although Ulysses firmly controlled the city of Kuba, the main transportation route, he ignored the combat capability of Li Tianhao's cavalry. At this moment, Li Tianhao's troops got the news that Ai Fujie was attacking Silis City, and was rushing to Silis City to help.

The majestic Misetra Mountains cut through the city of Cillis and the rest of the Dils Mountains like a row of towering steel knives. There is no other way to get here than through the city of Kuba, from the mountain road that winds on the north side of Mount Misella. But Li Tianhao was doing an almost crazy move at the moment - taking his 3,000 cavalry over the Misella Mountains.

None of Li Tianhao's recent actions are not taking risks and gambling. Storm Evergey's troops. Attack the Homan forces, which are outnumbered by themselves, and let Elda attack the Yaki fleet. Only a small army of Xenas was sent to occupy the city of Horur, and all this risky gambling was not as crazy as this one. The steepness of Mount Misella is well known. It is difficult for even a man to turn over it, let alone carry a horse? It also meant that the troops could not bring too much food and grass, and if everything was not done in five days, the soldiers would starve.

Each soldier led his horse on a steep hill with difficulty, and the slightest mistake would fall to the bottom of the hill and become a pile of flesh. Everyone carefully watched the road under their feet, and only Li Tianhao sat on the horse alone, using his extraordinary balance ability and riding skills to open the way at the front. Alam led the horse behind tremblingly, cursing all the gods he knew. Originally, it would have been no problem to walk such a mountain path with Alam's size and skill, but now it is not the same thing to walk with a horse. Listening to Alam's chatter, Li Tianhao dropped a sentence without looking back in front of him: "Be careful with your step, don't slander the gods, be careful of being punished by God." ”

"I don't have your riding skills, this road is not only me, anyone who walks will curse the gods."

"Cordillas Peak is the easiest mountain range to climb, didn't you come here once with Mr. Wei? Don't make a fuss. ”

"It was a walk, and I didn't really turn it over. And, Boss, don't you really think it's cold on the top of this mountain? ”

"You were born in Yaqui, and Yaki's climate is so hot that you can't stand the cold at all. You should really go to Ezo in the Wa country and Liaodong in the silk country to see what winter is like there, compared to the temperature there is like taking a hot spring. ”

"Forget it, I don't want to go to that kind of place, rather than go to that kind of place and get cold, I'd rather take a peaceful bath in Yaki's bath." Alam sneezed as he spoke.

At this moment, Li Tianhao suddenly stopped and said, "Look! The northern slopes of the Misella Mountains! Everybody! We have crossed the Misella Mountains! ”

"Great!" Alam jumped up excitedly, then quickly stabilized his body to prevent himself from rolling down, clasped his hands in front of his chest and closed his eyes, and said, "Thank you, gods!" Thank you to the gods for allowing me to climb this mountain! Please don't go to the gods and forgive the confused boy, and then ask the gods to bless me safely down the mountain. ”

Li Tianhao couldn't help laughing: "You guy with no faith! ”

Alam felt a burst of relief in his heart: this is the first time Li Tianhao has shown a smile in so many days, and hopes that the boss can return to normal quickly, otherwise it will be more painful for him to serve this fierce boss alone than facing the siege of the enemy's 10,000 army.
