And at this time, because of the initial victory of the war, Yang Wangdi and others can finally give an explanation to the country, after all, they said before that they wanted to attack the Holy Alliance, although many people were forced to choose to agree, but they were still very worried in their hearts, after all, in terms of scale, the scale of the enemy far exceeded the Black Iron City a lot, whether it was the population or the number of troops, just one legion of the other party, the number reached had exceeded the number of their entire Black Iron City, in this case, most people's willingness to fight was not high, Because the hope of victory was very slim, the majority of civilians did not support victory.

Although they don't have any rights and the right to speak, they will vote with their own actions, for example, in the recent period, Black Iron City has been busy recruiting troops, but the number of people who have really recruited is far from Liu Sanyi's expectations, and the number is too small.

Of course this is not possible, the enemy is now only a corps, that is, 20,000 people, if the other party comes another corps, the pressure of 40,000 people is definitely not what they can resist with these 7,000 soldiers, not to mention that some of the 7,000 people will be left to guard the rear, after all, the savage tribe has not been wiped out, at this time, the hometown needs some strength to defend, so that there are less than 6,000 people who can really be dispatched.

How can this be? Therefore, Yang Wangdi and Liu Sanyi insisted on expanding the army, but the citizens had a great negative attitude towards the victory of this war, so it was really very difficult to win, and it was precisely because of this that people's willingness to join the army was not high.

And now, Shu Han won the first war beautifully, not only won a big victory, but also brought back more than a thousand prisoners, under the same advantage of troops, almost completely defeated the enemy, such an advantage has greatly increased the confidence of many Black Iron City people, and also greatly increased the number of people who signed up to join the army, which is of course good news for Liu Sanyi and others.

Taking the initiative to join the army and being forced to join the army are completely different, combat effectiveness and enthusiasm are also very different, relying on the supplement of these populations, now the strength of the Black Iron City has barely reached the number of about 10,000 people, it can be said that this is for the Black Iron City, it is already about to reach the limit, and now it is almost the level of thirty people to support one person, which makes many units in the Black Iron City have to lay off personnel and send them to the countryside to farm, in order to meet the food shortage, and at the same time increase the agricultural labor population to obtain more food.

It can be said that the more troops are levied, then there are more urban residents to go to the countryside to farm, this situation naturally also caused great disgust among urban residents, no matter how bad the urban living standard is, no matter how hard the work is, compared with farming, it is still much easier, but at this time, they obviously have no right to resist, they can only obey orders, Black Iron City also promised them, as long as the war is won, or there are more prisoners, they will immediately return to their original posts, And on the basis of the existing salary, a large increase will be made, so that the people of Black Iron City are barely satisfied.

And the newly recruited 3,000 people, Liu Sanyi did not directly let them train themselves, but after a week of basic training, he directly entered his own army and directly began to train, and then pulled out 1,000 people from this new army to Shu Han, so that Shu Han's army reached 3,000 people, so that in the face of the situation in Yangcheng, Shu Han can also be more calm.

In this week's time, the Holy Alliance has also done a lot of things, one of which is to start building bunkers on the outskirts of the forest to ensure that the enemy inside the forest cannot quickly move through, and on the other hand, it is to move a large number of villages close to the forest inward, and if they are unwilling to move, they will directly kill things, so as to fortify the wall and clear the wilderness, so that the Black Iron City will not get any person or any grain.

At the same time, let those cannon fodder Yangcheng people under his command launch a fierce charge against Yangcheng, in order to shake the defense of Yangcheng, in a week's time, the Holy Alliance launched a total of more than eleven sieges, obviously, the Holy Alliance changed its tactical strategy, the original Zheng Yuanche's tactics were to besiege but not attack, waiting for the food in Yangcheng to gradually run out, in this way, the war will complete the goal at a very small cost and achieve victory.

But now, the situation has changed, a new army appeared on this land, disrupting Zheng Yuanche's arrangement, he had to take the way of dividing the troops, to ensure the safety of the rear of the army, so at this time to continue to take the way of siege, it is no longer practical, the enemy's charging troops, the people left behind by themselves can not be stopped at all, and even in the process, thousands of prisoners of Yangcheng were robbed, and by the way, a granary of the Holy Alliance was burned.

This made Zheng Yuanche furious, the war that was originally bound to be won was now a war of attrition, but at this time, he had no way to find a target to vent his anger, although Yangcheng was in danger under his own attack, but it always stood tall, and the enemy hidden deep in the forest was never visible.

Zheng Yuanche also sent some scouts to the forest to check, but these scouts were all swallowed up by the things in the forest, almost all of them went and never returned, and even if they came back, they were very lucky and did not hit Shu Han's troops.

As for Skywalker, Zheng Yuanche did not send them to carry it out, although their success was higher, but if one was killed or injured, it would be an even greater loss for Zheng Yuanche, and in the absence of being able to find out the specific situation of the enemy, Zheng Yuanche did not dare to act rashly, and this was undoubtedly a huge mistake that Zheng Yuanche put down. 12

War is like this, sometimes a soft heart, it will cause the failure of the entire strategy, Zheng Yuanche does not want to sacrifice his descendants and Skywalkers, to explore the situation in the forest, then the enemy in the forest will always be a secret for him, and at this time in the face of the enemy in the forest and the enemy in Yangcheng, Zheng Yuanche has no way to make a trade-off, this is the second mistake he made, the strength of 20,000 people, now completely separated on both sides, and this is undoubtedly Shu Han's opportunity.

He ordered Lin Bida to take a troop from the current forest location, bypass, and go directly to the rear of Yangcheng, that is, the location of the lonely village, and then there, launch a surprise attack on the Holy Alliance soldiers outside the isolated village, so as to completely liberate the lonely village, so as to open up a third battlefield.

For this point, Zhang Ruoming has reached a consensus with the lonely village, after seeing the Black Iron City unceremoniously win the first battle, Zhao Zhujian finally made up his mind to stand with the Black Iron City, but with their population of more than 100 households, even if the Black Iron City keeps supporting them with muskets, they can only arm a team of two hundred people at most, and this is already all the strong labor in the entire village, including women, and outside the lonely village, there are a total of about 600 soldiers guarding them, The nature of the isolated village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, just one natural danger, it is impossible for the enemy to come over, but at the same time, it has become very difficult for them to get out.

So in this matter, Black Iron City must help them release their shackles, and Shu Han also values the very special geographical location of the isolated village, which is very close to the border between Yangcheng and the Holy Alliance, and it is very likely that the enemy's grain route is nearby, as long as they touch their grain route and destroy it, it will inevitably seriously disturb the enemy's morale, which will be a huge help for the war.

So Shu Han ordered Lin Bida to lead two hundred masters of climbing and climbing from the southern forest, all the way to the mountain road around the countryside at his feet, and then to the rear of the big rift valley, where the lonely village has built a small road for hundreds of years, on the rift valley, that is only a plank road that only accommodates one person to pass, very dangerous, is the lonely village for more than 300 years, countless predecessors paid the price of their lives to build, in order to save the life of the lonely village at a critical moment, and it is precisely because of this road, Only then will the isolated village not be completely isolated from the outside world.

But this road is not easy to walk, there is no plank under the plank road, but one by one steel nails, inserted into the cliff, a total of more than five kilometers or so, the height of its feet reaches more than 200 meters, above the cliff, there are no handrails, only those steel nails under the feet can be forced, as long as they fall, it is broken bones, so even in the lonely village, people who can pass safely and smoothly are less than a finger.

And Shu Han plans to let Lin Bida cross the past and support the lonely village, which is undoubtedly a very challenging task, but if it succeeds, the temptation is also huge, as long as Lin Bida's troops can climb over the past, and then help the lonely village eliminate the enemy at their door, then the important position of the lonely village will be completely highlighted, Zheng Yuanche's back will have a dagger against his vital point, he will become more suspicious and undecided, and at the same time, Yangcheng can also get further news, those who are now besieging Yangcheng, will feel that there is a force in the rear is staring at them, then whether they continue to attack Yangcheng, or besiege, they must deploy a part of the troops to guard against the lonely village, which is extremely psychological pressure for them, and Yangcheng can be more relaxed.

So this step, although it is very dangerous and challenging, but Shu Han must go, and Zhang Ruoming and Liu Yangkai will go with Lin Bida, Zhang Ruoming has a relatively good relationship with the leadership of the isolated village, and going to the isolated village can make the bilateral cooperation smoother, as for Liu Yangkai, as a doctor, going to the isolated village is undoubtedly a way to express goodwill, and at the same time the battle will cause some losses, and the existence of Liu Yangkai can minimize the losses, The lonely village was more than twenty kilometers away from his current camp, and there were no climbers in his army.

After all, in the final analysis, the location of the Black Iron City is a plain, although there are mountains around, but because the mountains are really very dangerous, there are very few people on the mountain, so the experience of climbing is not rich, even among these two hundred people, there are also some who are just chasing ducks on the shelves, if there are too many sparse drops, Shu Han can't even replenish them, so that army is really dead one less one, Liu Yangkai can at least ensure that the casualties are controlled as much as possible within an acceptable range, and at the same time ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, This is extremely important to Shuhan.

Under the leadership of Lin Bida, this army began to act after dinner, and its difficulty was also very high, in addition to the last section of the steel nails, the previous mountain crossing was also very difficult, the violent crustal movement, so that the leylines in this area became very messy, the peaks and canyons of high and low everywhere were connected to each other, obviously the straight-line distance was only more than 20 kilometers, but if you really want to go, that is the point of running a dead horse in Wangshan, Lin Bida and others did not dare to act during the day, Because Zheng Yuanche's soldiers will enter the forest to investigate, if they are discovered, Zheng Yuanche is likely to understand their motives, maybe they will take the first step and pull out the lonely village at any cost, then Shu Han's plan will fail, so Lin Bida will take this army to move during the day and march at night, and at night, from the high dense forest, they don't have much to see, and the torches can't be lit, otherwise a flash of fire suddenly appears in the dark jungle, which is too eye-catching, so it can only be discredited and advanced, Sometimes it's only three or four kilometers a day.

It took about four days for Lin Bida to arrive at the location of the lonely village from the forest in the south of Yangcheng, and the original team of 200 people was only 180 people for various reasons, and 20 soldiers lost their precious lives in this dark forest.

In the dark night, countless animals will suddenly emerge from the dense forest, their movements are very fast, ordinary people can not catch up at all, and when they walk the steel nails, it is even more dangerous, many people go halfway, or the last few steps, the body loses strength, can no longer control the balance of the body, and thus falls, when everyone arrives at the lonely village, it is already scarred, each is exhausted.

Zhao Liangsan had already gotten the news, and when he saw Lin Bida and others appear, he immediately brought people over to take care of them, change clothes, drink water, and let them rest at the same time, in his heart, Zhao Liangsan also admired Lin Bida and Zhang Ruoming and others very much, he often climbed this section of the road, and naturally knew the danger of this, and these people really came over like this, Zhao Liangsan is bold, and he likes those who are cheerful when he makes friends, likes heroes, and what Zhang Ruoming and others do, of course, is a hero.

Everyone rested quietly in the lonely village for a night, Lin Bida gathered everyone to start deploying combat missions, there were suddenly so many more people in this village, it was difficult to ensure that the garrison outside would not find out, they had to be cautious, and they had to fight quickly, and they could not give the enemy a chance to breathe, so although everyone was still very tired, Lin Bida still decided to immediately launch an attack on the enemy outside, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy was not ready, killing them by surprise, and seizing the passage from the isolated village to the outside world in the shortest possible time.
