For Fang Zixiao, Shu Han naturally has other opinions, in his opinion, Fang Zixiao is undoubtedly an outstanding general, in the critical stage when the friendly army is chaotic and the enemy army has begun to encircle, this person can still organize a defensive force, open up depth for the chaotic friendly army in his rear, and withdraw from the village, which eventually indirectly led to the withdrawal of two Skywalkers and hundreds of soldiers, if it wasn't for the fact that Fang Zixiao was sold by those two Skywalkers in the end, as long as he fought for a period of time, Fang Zixiao would definitely be able to escape, And Shu Han's siege plan this time will be greatly discounted.

In such an urgent situation, in less than ten minutes, Fang Zixiao saw through the whole situation, and finally made the most suitable deployment for himself, which undoubtedly made Shu Han very interested in Fang Zixiao, so after being arrested, he did not abuse him but just locked him up, detained him, and then looked for Fang Zixiao's personal soldiers to interrogate, so as to learn about Fang Zixiao's birth.

Fang Zixiao comes from a city called Green Banyan City, not too far from Blue Pigeon City, they have coexisted peacefully with each other for hundreds of years, and occasionally cooperate with each other because of the outbreak of the beast tide, and at the same time, they will also rob each other's food because of hunger caused by drought, it can be said that they have been together with each other for hundreds of years, and the relationship between Blue Pigeon City and Green Banyan City is not bad.

It wasn't until Blue Pigeon City mastered the musket technology that the troops equipped with muskets on a large scale made other soldiers who were still in the early stage of hot weapons unable to deal with it at all, and Green Banyan City was attacked by Blue Pigeon City, because it was the first group of city-states to surrender to Blue Pigeon City, so Green Banyan City's status in the Holy Alliance was not bad, and all Skywalkers were treated better, in addition, some ordinary people were often able to hold some relatively high positions in the army, Among them naturally includes Fang Zixiao's father.

According to these Fang family's pro-soldiers, Fang Zixiao's father was a subordinate of one of the Skywalkers in Green Banyan City, and he was originally just a low-level officer, but after merging into the Holy Alliance, Fang Zixiao's father's leadership made great contributions to Blue Pigeon City in the process of expanding the territory, and also established a very good relationship with many Skywalkers in Blue Pigeon City, so his official position was also rising step by step, and now he has served as the deputy head of the third corps of the five major legions of Blue Pigeon City. This is already the highest position of general that any other city-state can hold within the Holy Alliance.

And Fang Zixiao's father was promoted by this old leader, and naturally he was also promoted, so Fang Zixiao's birth was not bad, he didn't suffer anything since he was a child, and at the same time he didn't have any ill feelings towards the Holy Alliance, after all, when he became a member of the Holy Alliance, he was still young, but he was only eleven years old, and his parents didn't let him go out to play, plus he was the first batch to return to the Blue Pigeon City, so the Blue Pigeon City did not carry out a brutal massacre of the Green Banyan City, it can be said that the country of rights is very stable, This also made Fang Zixiao not see the cruel side of Blue Pigeon City.

After Fang Zixiao's father continued to be promoted and raised, and their family's treatment was getting better and better, so Fang Zixiao recognized the identity of the Holy Alliance, and later after Fang Zixiao's father was killed by an enemy Skywalker in a battle, Fang Zixiao was also taken care of by the father's leader, and the quality of life did not decline, so for the Holy Alliance, this Fang Zixiao obviously has deep feelings.

This made Shu Han feel a little tricky, for Fang Zixiao, he could see that the other party had excellent potential in military operations, which Shu Han appreciated very much, today's Black Iron City, what is lacking is a master like Fang Zixiao, so Shu Han has the intention of recruiting an in his heart, but the other party obviously has a deep affection for the Holy Alliance, and it is not easy to make him rebel, so Shu Han did not see him directly, but planned to wait and see.

On the other hand, Fang Zixiao's personal soldiers, Shu Han also stayed, and worked as a chorre in the camp, although this work is hard, but it is much easier than going to the mining area to mine, and it can be regarded as selling a face to Fang Zixiao, and at the same time, I also know more about Fang Zixiao from their mouths, for example, Fang Zixiao has a cousin in addition to his mother in Green Banyan City, which is the descendant of his mother's relatives, Fang Zixiao seems to have a deep affection for this cousin, This made Shu Han silently write down these things in his heart.

However, these are of little use to Shu Han today, after all, according to the descriptions of these pro-soldiers, Green Banyan City is at least about 300 kilometers away from here, and in modern times, it is only an hour's journey by high-speed rail, but in this era, it is difficult to reach it for half a month, and it is slower than the speed of agricultural society, because there is no traffic, and at the same time, there are all kinds of fierce beasts everywhere on the roadside, the number of people is too small and dangerous, and the number of people is too slow to march, this is today's military conditions.

At this time, Shu Han's camp was deep in the mountains, he did not sleep directly, but sat outside, relying on the starlight in the starry sky to illuminate the perspective in front of him, everyone gathered together for a meeting, they were afraid that lighting the flame would attract the attention of those Holy Alliance soldiers, only after night, all the lights would be extinguished, and at this time, the meeting could only be opened outside.

"I think that we should not act rashly in the future, the enemy's deployment is already in the nearby villages, I believe that such a large-scale troop movement will inevitably arouse Yangcheng's detection, they obviously know that we are coming at this moment, what we need to know now is Yangcheng's attitude, which is very important." Lin Bida opened his mouth and said, his words were agreed by everyone present.

They have a total of 6,000 troops in their hands, with such a small number of troops, it is very difficult to win the Holy Alliance, Yangcheng's attitude will determine the outcome of the war, and what does Yangcheng think of Black Iron City? This is what the people of Black Iron City are eager to know, if the other party is welcome to themselves, then the cooperation between the two sides is not without the possibility of destroying the enemy in this land, but what if the other party is also wary of Black Iron City? Then Black Iron City will have to fight alone.

And there is a worse possibility, that is, compared to Black Iron City, Yangcheng feels that instead of cooperating with Black Iron City, it is better to follow the Holy Alliance, so that at least he can be preserved, then the enemies that Black Iron City will face are not one, but two, but in the last point, Shu Han and they don't think that Yangcheng will be so brainless, if they really want to surrender, they should surrender when they attack just now, instead of waiting until today.

What are the benefits of surrendering the Holy Alliance at the same time? They are not too many more than you, and there are many less than you, they are strong and strong in themselves, and your going is just icing on the cake, and it will not have much impact on the Holy Alliance, and in the end, a dozen city-states will be pressed on your head, is this a good result? What's more, the Holy Alliance has a murderous nature, so many ordinary people in Yangcheng have been killed, if the rulers of Yangcheng just announce their surrender, will these ordinary people agree?

Friends with enemies who don't share the same sky? It's not that simple. Hot search

And if you cooperate with Black Iron City, Yangcheng can get more, at least Black Iron City is not so brutal, and at the same time, Black Iron City's strength is not enough, if Yangcheng can come to work, then the relationship between the two sides will be more equal, so at this point, Shu Han and everyone believe that Yangcheng will not join the Holy Alliance, but will they form an alliance with Black Iron City?

This point is going to test Yangcheng's self-esteem, as a big state, under the bullying of the Holy Alliance for half a year, and has not announced surrender, obviously Yangcheng is very resolute in this regard, and can also reflect their self-esteem, such a state, will they be willing to live under the Black Iron City, this is probably difficult, especially now that the two sides have not communicated, the Black Iron City does not know what Yangcheng is thinking, and Yangcheng also does not know what the Black Iron City is thinking, and whether the two sides are friends or enemies cannot be confirmed, at this time, Yangcheng's move is crucial.

And didn't let Shu Han and them wait too long, news came from the lonely village, not long after Zheng Yuanche's troops arrived in the south, a group of cavalry rushed out of the city from the Yangcheng side, and launched a surprise attack on the slightly empty local military camp, although the scale was not very large, but this point was undoubtedly a message to the Black Iron City in the air.

"As long as you fight the Holy Alliance, we will be friends."

After getting this news, Shu Han's heart suddenly fell to the ground, at least on the side of Yangcheng, no matter what his attitude towards Black Iron City is, he has an unforgettable hatred for the Holy Alliance, as long as he knows this, at least before the invading army of the Holy Alliance is eliminated, the two sides can cooperate more.

And Yangcheng's counterattack also made Zheng Yuanche a little unsure of what to do for a while, 10,000 soldiers defending Yangcheng, absolutely guaranteed not to be defeated by Yangcheng, he knew the situation inside Yangcheng very well, although the number of people was more than 100,000 (originally the population in the city was not so much, many rural people entered the city, resulting in a rapid increase in population. But there are not more than 10,000 or 20,000 of them who can really be used to fight.

And among them, most of them are just recruited militia, let them stand on the head of the city to shoot arrows, shoot is okay, if they let them go out of the city and fight directly with their own troops in the field, it is absolutely impossible, the real regular troops in Yangcheng are only five or six thousand people, and they are defeated by their own remnants, there is no need to worry, and they have 10,000 soldiers outside the barracks, which is enough to crush the soldiers of Yangcheng.

But being able to defeat does not mean that Yangcheng can be confined to this piece of dead land, 10,000 soldiers can indeed ensure that their military camp will not be defeated, but at the same time, they will also make their encirclement weaker, and Yangcheng can break through this weak encirclement, so as to get in touch with the outside world, which is what worries Zheng Yuanche.

Although the rulers of Yangcheng do not treat the people of Yangcheng well, and the annual taxes are not over, Zheng Yuanche also knows what kind of virtue his soldiers are, compared with his own soldiers, the rulers of Yangcheng are living bodhisattvas, in this case, coupled with the fact that the other party has been operating in the local area for hundreds of years, in terms of mass base, Zheng Yuanche never thought that he could beat Yangcheng in this regard, if it was placed in the past, they naturally didn't care about the old and weak women and children in the countryside, but now under the threat of this unknown enemy, If all the old, weak, women and children in the entire Yangcheng area are mobilized, it will be a huge intelligence network for them, and when this network is formed, it will be extremely dangerous for Zheng Yuanche.

Therefore, he must continue to block the entrances and exits of Yangcheng, so as not to get in touch with the outside world, but in this way, relying on the remaining 10,000 soldiers is completely insufficient, as for the tens of thousands of local people who have been captured, they must also be strictly vigilant, the number of soldiers in the camp has decreased, they cannot not know, so in this case, they must take precautions.

But in this way, they must face a dilemma, if Zheng Yuanche continues to keep the troops around the countryside, then Yangcheng is very likely to take this opportunity to get in touch with the outside world, and if they go back, then the force in the forest can only let them jump around, which is completely unpredictable for the safety of the army.

According to the reports of several people who escaped, the enemy has at least more than 3,000 people, as for the specific number, they don't know, and whether these people are all the troops on Shu Han's side, he has no way to confirm, so if he retreats like this, he is really not at ease, Zheng Yuanche at this time felt a little tricky for the first time.

At this time, Shu Han is lying on the bed and sleeping very comfortably, if it is in the past, let alone sleeping, it is a person who stays quietly, Shu Han will scare himself to death, and now he is on the front line of the war, but he can sleep peacefully, I have to say that the environment is indeed a very important factor to change a person.

In the next two days, Shu Han's troops still did not move, but only kept in touch with the isolated village on the other side through the forest, so as to obtain the situation in the north of Yangcheng, in these two days, Yangcheng launched more and more attacks, and they were very smart, and they did not directly attack the camp, but after the attack, they rescued many prisoners in Yangcheng and brought them back to the city directly, so as to strengthen their own strength.

On the other hand, it is to actively let some troops rush out, in order to contact the surrounding villages, and this is how the information obtained by the isolated village came, Shu Han and the others naturally did nothing, and it can be said that they stayed in the forest very well these days, and Liu Sanyi on the other side is to ensure that Shu Han can have the strength to maintain his power on the front line as soon as possible, often armed a group of soldiers and let them go directly to the front line, and in two days, three hundred people were added, so that the army under Shu Han was restored to the scale of two thousand two hundred people.
