In addition, Liu Meng also stayed in Xiyuan City to recuperate because of his injuries, Luo Ji set out on the same day after ordering 3,000 troops and adding a good general.

On the way out, reasonable control of the speed of the march is the key, blindly pursuing speed, but when you get to the place, you have no strength to fight, this is obviously putting the cart before the horse, for this measure, Luo Ji has always grasped it very well.

At the same time, a few days ago, the two brothers Guo Jia and Guo Zhen, who were on their way back to Mirror City, also received Luo Ji's second military order in a short period of time after a long absence, and the earlier military order was sent half a month ago, asking them to return to Mirror City to help resist the invasion of outsiders in the future.

It's just that they patronized the campaign some time ago, but they accidentally ran too far, coupled with the increase in the number of soldiers under their hands, which greatly slowed down their marching speed, and it was really too late to rush back in a short time.

"How?" Guo Zhen, who was standing in the camp tent, clasped his hands to his chest, and looked at Guo Jia who was sitting there with a slight frown, while Luo Cheng on the side did not speak, but from the expression between his eyebrows, it was obvious that he was very concerned about the content of this second military order.

Feeling the sight of the two, Guo Jia put down the military order that had just been sent in his hand, "The outsiders who invaded this time seem to be unexpectedly tricky, six bed crossbows, five thousand troops, and they forcibly broke through Xiyuan City within half a day......"

"Five thousand troops?!" Hearing this number, Guo Zhen and Luo Cheng both exclaimed in surprise, and the expression on Luo Cheng's face was directly undisguised shock, "And forcibly attacked Xiyuan City in half a day?" How is this possible?! ”

"Luo Cheng, tell me, what is the situation in Xiyuan City?" Guo Jia, who heard this, asked seriously, after all, he and Guo Zhen were fighting outside all the year round, so it was naturally impossible to know the situation in Xiyuan City.

And Luo Cheng himself left during that period, and he had seen the scale and walls of Xiyuan City, so after hearing the news that Xiyuan City was breached, he would be so shocked.

He took a deep breath, and after calming down his emotions, Luo Cheng quickly rolled out a map, and then circled the map in front of him with his fingers, "Xiyuan City is in this location, which is the first line of defense to the west of the territory of Spiegel City, and at the same time, the territory of this entire area has been connected together......"

As he spoke, Luo Cheng carefully talked about the changes in the pattern of Mingjing City, and Guo Jia, who was sitting there, had a lot of light in his eyes, he couldn't imagine it until now, with such a large-scale handwriting, how could their leader do it in such a short period of time? It's incredible, it can only be said that he really deserves to be the leader, which is something he will never be able to do.

But at the same time, it was precisely because he knew the scale and level of the city defense that his face became more and more solemn.

"So Xiyuan City will be breached in half a day, it's unbelievable!"

"It should be the carelessness of the generals defending the city." After thinking for a while, Guo Jia said such a sentence.

"Careless?"

"Under the leadership of the leader, we have won consecutive battles, and we have become an almost invincible army, and we have accumulated so many victories, and it is inevitable that we will occasionally become careless and underestimate the enemy, right?" Guo Jia asked with a calm face, and at the same time did not forget to glance at Guo Zhen.

"Ahem!" Sensing Guo Jia's sight, Guo Zhen, who is the eldest brother, coughed twice in embarrassment, just a month ago, when he was attacking a tribe, he was careless and underestimated the enemy, and suffered two arrows, because of this matter, his younger brother didn't give him a good look for half a month, and from time to time he would take this matter out and count him down twice, making him, the eldest brother, more and more unable to raise his head in front of his younger brother, Guo Jia was not like this before, he was definitely taken by the leader!

Looking at Guo Zhen's weak and embarrassed appearance, Guo Jia was also speechless in his heart, but he didn't count his interest anymore, after more than half a month, his anger was almost gone, and he saw his eyes fall back on Luo Cheng, "And didn't you also say it, in the case of fast horses, you don't even need half a day, the cavalry troops of Mingjing City can support Xiyuan City, with this guarantee, if it is me, it is estimated that I will relax with peace of mind." ”

Guo Jia's words made Luo Cheng unable to refute at all, because it was really the case, "So, Sun He was careless because of his carelessness that he was breached by outsiders in half a day?" ”

"Nine times out of ten, it is estimated that when he realizes the overwhelming superiority of the other party's forces, it is too late to do anything more."

"In this way, the outsiders occupy Xiyuan City, and with the advantage of the city wall, won't the leader have to fight a siege battle?!"

"Siege warfare is not a good evidence, there is a three-bow bed crossbow this siege weapon, I really don't know which wall can stop it for the time being." Speaking of this, Guo Jia's voice paused for a moment, and after taking a sip of water, he spoke again, "So, the focus is on the battle afterward, Luo Cheng, before you came, how many troops were there in Mingjing City?" ”

"It's hard to say." Luo Cheng, who heard this, also pondered carefully, "If I'm not mistaken, after the previous battle, Spiegel City received forty percent of the surrendered troops, if you count those surrendered troops, the strength of Spiegel City should be around four thousand, but after all, those are just surrenders, and I am afraid that the combat power is ......."

The atmosphere in the camp tent seemed a little dignified for a while, the surrendered troops who had just been captured, what was the combat power, Guo Jia and they couldn't be clearer in their hearts, after all, at least half of the troops in their hands were composed of surrendered troops, after attacking a tribe, the population was sent back to Mirror City, and the surrendered soldiers were directly thrown into the army to replenish their strength, and then attacked the next tribe, this is their current practice, so in this regard, they can be said to be experienced.

Leaving aside the issue of personal combat strength, there are three very troublesome problems in the surrender of troops......

The first problem is that there is basically no tacit understanding with the original troops, and it is difficult to cover each other's attacks in battle

The second problem is that the morale of these soldiers is declining, and it is difficult for them to exert their own combat power, even if it is difficult to exert their own combat power, it may also affect the morale of other soldiers.

The third problem is that the loyalty of these soldiers is often not high due to the reason that they have just surrendered, and it is easy for a few deserters to appear, which is quite a headache.

Combined with various reasons, it was already urgent to quickly lead the troops to Xiyuan City to support, however, it was only a few days after the members of the reconnaissance team handed over the third military order to him.

"The army of the outsiders has withdrawn from Xiyuan City, and we have changed our march route and rushed directly to the battlefield!"

The update is sent, thank you for the monthly pass of "Reverse Fishing" and "Don't Give Up My Medicine"!
