In fact, compared to Libera's worries, Li Tianhao's distress far exceeded his.

Yamo made a major mistake in the intelligence work of the Yaji Army this time, and the information that Li Tianhao originally got was that the Yaji Army was assembling on the southern front, and the main force should be marching towards the Napatis area, with an estimated strength of about 100,000 troops. As a result, Li Tianhao decided on a battle plan to bypass and raid Epsommiton, preparing to cut off the food route of the Yaji Army. However, the fact that the Yagi Army was massing at a much slower pace than originally expected (this was entirely due to Tulayan's procrastination style), and the Yaki Army was larger than expected, reaching 200,000 men, which was almost all the regular army that Yaki could mobilize. As a result, when Li Tianhao seized the pocket of the Epsomiton and tied it to the pocket of the encirclement of the Yaji Army, nearly half of the Yaji Army did not enter the encirclement! At this moment, Li Tianhao plunged his head into the abdomen of the Yaji army, and it became a situation where he was attacked on his back and abdomen.

After capturing the city of Epsommiton, Yamo's updated intelligence surprised Li Tianhao, but at this time, it was already a tiger, and the eight thousand cavalry said that they could no longer make a detour back to the Dils Mountains. At the moment, there was no other way but to hold on to the city of Epsomiton and wait for Wei Song to lead his troops to eliminate the Yaki army of Napatis and rush to converge. Fortunately, Li Tianhao had the most powerful military forces under the Dils Command, and the cadres of Senas, Muller, Hector, Agobar, Jamo, Eglius, and Aram exerted their own strength, crossed the Naura River in the shortest time, captured a large area east of Epsommiton, and routed several Yaki armies heading to the south. In particular, Hector's performance did not live up to his reputation as a captain of Parchwan, and he was impeccable in both his bravery and the sophistication of his soldiers. With his achievements, he made a name for himself in the Tyrs army.

However, no matter how Li Tianhao's 8,000 cavalry could not defend the entire Epsommiton area, Li Tianhao categorically abandoned the area east of the Nanluo River. All the defenses and roads there were destroyed to slow down the southward advance of the Yaqui army. At the same time, all the means of transportation on this section of the Nanra River were controlled, so that the attack of the Yaji Army that came to the rescue on the east and west banks of the Nanra River could not be coordinated, so that Li Tianhao had more room to make strategic choices.

Speaking of which, one of the major contributors to this incident is Bodeka, the chief executive who raised the city and surrendered. After Li Tianhao successfully took over the city of Epsommiton, he strictly kept his agreement with Bodeka, and did not commit any offense against everything in the city, even the noble mansions that had always been looted, promising to guarantee their lives and allow them to leave with their property. For this, Bodka is grateful to Dade and feels that he did not make a mistake in his original choice. In order to repay Li Tianhao, he exerted his skills and helped Li Tianhao effectively stabilize the hearts of the people in the city. Bodkar played a major role in this, as the people and slaves of Epsommiton lived in relative stability. The nobles were not as brutal and tyrannical as those in the Dils Mountains, and Li Tianhao's troops were not popular with the residents here, and if it weren't for Bodeka's efforts, it would have been very difficult for Li Tianhao to sit in the city of Epsommiton.

In the face of the approaching Yaki army, Li Tianhao had been busy preparing for war and was unable to do anything, and at this time he received good news: Elaine, the leader of the Kanno tribe, recalled his younger brother Kidd and his army, who were fighting with other tribes, and a full 7,000 Kanno warriors hurried to reinforcements.

Li Tianhao was very grateful for this, and in the battle to capture Epsmilton, Elaine had already led Momobutu and his two thousand soldiers to help. Now he is pouring the whole clan into helping him, which really makes him unhappy. In the face of Li Tianhao's gratitude, Yilian just said lightly: "There is nothing that the Kanno clan can't do for their friends, not to mention that I am doing this for my husband Muller." Why do you thank me? Thank you Mueller. ”

With the addition of these 7,000 people, Li Tianhao's army lineup has changed greatly. At this time, Jamo sent two more messages, first. The preparations for the Vandarlu division of the Yaki Army, which had been wandering south of Epsommiton, were nearing completion, and they could march at any time. It is also possible that they have already made contact with the Libera Division on the northern front and are preparing to flank our army from the north and south; Second. The vanguard of our army has taken Jiti and marched all the way to the northwest to approach the city of Miujili, and has encountered resistance from the main force of the Yaki army, and the battle is currently in a stalemate.

Li Tianhao nodded after listening to the report and said, "You have been working very hard recently, is it to make up for the mistakes of previous intelligence mistakes?" ”

"Lord Mingjian, I don't want to cover up anything for my previous mistakes, and I have an unshirkable responsibility as the person in charge, but this time the intelligence work of the Yaji Army is indeed more secretive than before, maybe they have also learned the painful lesson from the last time, right? However, it is also a good thing to have this mistake, and I have already figured out the problem from it and adjusted it, and I believe that the accuracy of the information sent after that will be greatly improved, so please rest assured, Lord Lord. ”

Li Tianhao nodded when he heard this. He still has a lot of trust in Jamo's ability to work, in fact, there is no second one in the entire Dils army except for Jamo, although Lorencis's ability is strong, his eyeliner is only active in the Tiers Mountains, and it is no longer of much value for the battle against Yaqui. But this time Yamo's mistake made him cry and laugh, this mistake put himself and the 8,000 soldiers in a place of insecurity, even if Yamo tried to remedy it, it would be difficult to save the situation.

After letting Yamo retreat, Li Tianhao carefully observed the current situation of the two sides on the map. Libera's army had already approached Epsmilton, and judging from the way he had set up, he was ready to use his numerical advantage to besiege the city of Epsmirton, hold back his own hands and feet, and then send another army to restore communications and city defenses in the east to ensure the supply lines of the southern Yaqui army. However, there is a disadvantage of this, that is, Libera does not have enough ships to dispatch troops on the east and west coasts, and the result of dividing troops is likely to cause local disadvantages, which Li Tianhao must also take advantage of. Thinking of this, Li Tianhao had an idea and asked Xia Gola, who was standing on the side, "Is Wang Dalu's troops operating on the east coast?" ”

Shagora replied respectfully, "Exactly." Vandalu had been frustrated by his master before, and this time he was extremely cautious, he knew that his 10,000 horses could hardly resist the attack of our cavalry, in order to avoid being broken by our army in one fell swoop, he had been wandering around the southern region for so many days and refused to attack, his purpose was very clear, that is, to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, and to give our army a stab in the back when our army had no time to take care of him. ”

Li Tianhao bit his lip and said, "So he is starting to move now to spy on the reaction of our army, so as to confirm whether the reinforcements have begun to attack Epsommiton?" ”

"It's possible. Apparently their news is not very smooth yet, otherwise he should not have started to make a move before Libera even started attacking. Unless Libera deliberately let him do it to get our attention. ”

"Makes sense." Li Tianhao nodded and said, but his eyes kept staring at the previous area of the map, and a plan gradually emerged in his heart. (To be continued......)
