In the mountains and forests east of Kuba City, there were 5,700 people led by Li Tianhao.

Since the battle of Cillis City, Li Tianhao's cavalry has suffered a lot of losses, and only 1,700 people can continue to fight, and the remaining 4,000 are the troops that Gurnas gritted his teeth and put together from the troops defending Cillis City. The men came to a place less than a day's journey from the city of Kuba and set up camp. Because Li Tianhao received a report from Yamo that Ulysses had raided several secret granaries. This matter is not trivial, if all these secret granaries that have been built so hard are obtained by Ulysses, then the Tyres rebels will fall into a situation of lack of food, and the biggest advantage of the Tyresians in this battle is the existence of these grain bases.

After some investigation, it was confirmed that the attacked granaries were all built by Drum, which made Li Tianhao breathe a sigh of relief. At the very least, Ulysses only had information from Drum, and the remaining granaries were safe for the time being. However, Li Tianhao also hated Drum even more because of this, and the losses caused by this shameless villain to the Dils rebels were simply incomparable.

Then something strange happened. Originally, Gharnath arranged for a lot of ears and eyes to be mixed with the Yaki soldiers who fled back to Kuba City, and sent back a lot of information about the defense of Kuba City and their force ratio through Jamo's intelligence network. However, news came that Ulysses had begun to redeploy the city's defenses, making all the information he had obtained out of date worthless. But after three full days, no information came, which made Li Tianhao a little uneasy. Although Ulysses had no more than 5,000 combat-ready troops, this was the information from a few days ago. If the Yaki army in Essrath City rushes to help, then the little force at his disposal may not be of any use. And according to Jamo's previous report, the other party has apparently discovered his movements. Then the possibility of a sneak attack is no longer there, and it is necessary to act cautiously to capture the city of Kuba, so accurate intelligence is essential.

Li Tianhao, who was sitting in the tent, anxiously waited for new news. On either side sat Loransis and Tatar, while Aram stood behind Li Tianhao. The expressions on the faces of the three of them were more anxious than Li Tianhao. Alam couldn't help but speak: "Boss, Mr. Wei doesn't know where he has entered at the moment, if he can hold back the Yaki army in Essrath City, then we only need to deal with about five thousand people." ”

Li Tianhao didn't say anything. Tatar on the side replied for Li Tianhao: "It's a pity that we only have less than 6,000 troops, and although Kuba City is not a particularly steep city, it may not be so easy to capture it." ”

Alam said disapprovingly: "Not necessarily. If there are only 5,000 men, we can lure them out of the city with small troops, and then destroy them with cavalry, so that there are not many troops in the city. ”

Lorencis shook his head again and again: "Impossible, Alam. First of all, Ulysses is not the kind of general who can be easily provoked to go out of the city for a decisive battle, and secondly, there are more than 20,000 Yaki troops in the city of Kuba, just because they have no weapons. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to continue to be at a stalemate like this, after all, we have more food than each other, and they have 20,000 mouths to feed. As long as the food is exhausted, the Yaji army will collapse without a fight. ”

Li Tianhao touched his chin in the middle and said lightly: "Lord Lorencis is reasonable, but unfortunately there are two problems that make me dare not do this. First of all, most of our secret granaries are in the mountains to the west and south of Kuba City, and we only have one here. It was also cut out by Ulysses, so we don't necessarily have much advantage in our grain and grass; And then, since Ulysses already knew about the existence of our secret granary, wouldn't he have gone around searching? He smashed one more. We have one less chance of winning, so this matter has to be resolved as soon as possible. I can't drag it out. ”

"Yes, you are right, Alliance Leader." Lorencis was said so by Li Tianhao. He bowed his head and said nothing.

At this moment, Yamo ran over, and after entering the big tent, he panted and said: "Tell the alliance master, my subordinates have found out that the flags are waving on Kuba City, and the personnel are standing, and they look heavily guarded, but they are ??????."

"But what?" Li Tianhao's eyebrows twitched, and he seemed to think of something in his heart.

"But what my subordinates saw outside the city yesterday evening was exactly the same as what they saw this morning, and these people didn't move all night! And there are birds landing on the flag! It's an empty city! ”

Li Tianhao stood up with a sigh when he heard this: "Not good! We were fooled! Ulysses, the old thing, has set up an empty plan, and all his main forces have been transferred! No wonder no news has come out at all! ”

The other three were also shocked, which was tantamount to indicating that the Yaki Army had been away from Kuba City for at least three days! Li Tianhao immediately ordered the cavalry to go straight to Kuba City, Tatar persuaded him to send a team of men and horses into the city to check on the other side to prevent the other party from cheating, Li Tianhao said loudly: "How can this be reasonable!" How can I let others take the risk to explore the way, and I will sit in the back safely! Besides, Yajijun won't have such good patience to wait for so many days, come with me! ”

The cavalry came to the city of Kuba like a wind, and sure enough, the city had long been empty, and the inhabitants who had been here had long since disappeared, and there was nothing alive in the whole city except for a few birds. Li Tianhao was so angry that he stomped his feet again and again, and immediately ordered Yamo and Lorencis to investigate the whereabouts of the Yaki army, and sent Alam to try to get in touch with Wei Song and Zaran in the south, and at the same time ordered Tatar and Lolandis to lead 2,000 people to Horur City.

A few days later, several pieces of news came, both good and bad. First of all, he learned that Wei Song had captured Essrath City and had basically recovered the surrounding cities, and Wei Song was currently gathering troops to go to Kuba City to prepare to jointly deal with the missing Yaji Army; secondly, Tatar and Lorencis had reached the city of Horul, and Xenas had led his troops to the city of Kuba; The last one was to find that the Yaki army had approached Kadum City, and the 1,000 suspicious troops led by Zaran did not dare to fight, and had quickly returned to defend Kadum City.

After Li Tianhao received these reports, his anxiety for several days was alleviated - now that the movement of the Yaji Army had been clear, the next step was to consider how to eat this enemy army. (To be continued......)
