"East Gate?" Chen Shimei frowned and looked to the east, "The east of the city, isn't it the Loren Mountains, which stretch for hundreds of miles, how can there be so many Vermilion Bird troops there?" ”

The herald shook his head: "My subordinates can't figure out how they came here. ”

This person holds the title of herald, but he is actually a middle-level officer, and he has the qualifications to talk directly to Chen Shimei, and there is no communication tool in the demon world, so the herald system is very important.

"Divide the troops." I don't care what kind of army they have, there are too many enemies, and they have become encircled, and the 24,000 Qinglong army in the city is not a big problem to resist the White Tiger Army in front, but if the east and south sides give up treatment, the city gate is broken, and even if the north gate wins, it is meaningless.

"Okay, you say how to divide it." Chen Shimei asked me.

"Master Horse, you lead 10,000 elite soldiers to defend against the White Tiger Army here; The third princess led 10,000 people to the south gate to defend the Xuanwu Three Kingdoms Alliance, and the remaining 4,000 people, I led them to the east gate to resist the Suzaku army. I said.

Although there are 50,000 people on the south gate, it is a three-country alliance, and the combat effectiveness and dispatch power may not be very strong, and the south gate is because the White Tiger Country has been operating for many years, the city wall is towering, and the city gate is thick, and the three princesses should be able to hold it with 10,000 people.

And on the north gate, after the fortifications built overnight last night, I think Chen Shimei will have no problem with 10,000 people and hold it.

"Is it enough for you to bring 4,000 men?" Chen Shimei expressed doubts, "Not far from the east gate is the Loren Mountains, no one thinks that there will be an enemy attacking from there, and the city defense force is very weak!" ”

"It's as long as you can hold out," I pretended to smile lightly, "The top priority is to contact Ma Yu as soon as possible, so that she can put down all the battles at hand and gallop to the aid of White Horse City." ”

"Why?" The third princess also ran up and asked puzzledly, "Ma Yu's army division has won a series of battles on the Western Front, and the fierce battle with the White Tiger Army is in full swing!" ”

I looked at the White Tiger Army getting closer and closer, took out a pack of soft China that I had just bought in the city from my pocket, and lit one: "Because, I smell a smell of Armageddon." ”

The cigarette is mixed with the smell of gunsmoke, which tastes good.

"Okay, I'll transfer the horse army division over immediately!" Chen Shimei said, he is the generalissimo of the Qinglong Army, older than Ma Yuguan'er, and can be moved.

"If Ma Yu pushes back, you say, this is my ...... Command. "I was afraid that Ma Yu would be stubborn, so I added.

Chen Shimei had an expression of "I understand" and said with a wicked smile: "I understand your relationship!" ”

Gossip aside, the main force of the enemy army is still the White Tiger Army on the north gate, so the artillery is left here, and the dragoons with the strongest combat effectiveness are the third princess's own troops, and I didn't use them, so I gave them to her.

I only took 4,000 ordinary infantry to the east gate, on the way, I was afraid that something would go wrong at the west gate, so I sent 500 people to the west gate to support, there is the point, the White Horse City can be lost, the Valley of the Dead can not be lost!

With 3,500 troops to the east gate, the enemy army is extended far away Qinglong scouts found that I only saw the rolling mountains outside the east gate, and did not see the shadow of the enemy, the scouts had already returned to the city, and reported to me, saying that the Suzaku army was about two kilometers away from the east gate, and only one mountain was missing.

"Do they have artillery?" I hastened to ask, because the height of the hill opposite is much higher than the city gate tower, and if the enemy has artillery and mounts the cannon on the hill, the range can cover almost the entire city of Hakuba, and we will have no way at all.

"Report to Lord Chen, there is no artillery, the enemy is all light infantry, walking through the forest, and not carrying any siege equipment." The scout said.

I nodded, yes, coming from the mountains, large machinery, including artillery, cannot be carried, and it is estimated that even the cavalry will not be able to pass, and it is difficult for them, so they actually thought of a surprise attack from this direction.

Outside the city gate, between the Loren Mountains, there is a small plain, the width is only a few hundred meters, it is pure grassland, there is no danger to defend, it can only be given to the Suzaku army to arrange the army, 30,000 people, it is estimated that they will not be able to arrange.

I took a few guards, jumped from the city wall, to observe the defense of the east city wall, almost can be called defenseless, the height of the city wall is less than ten meters, from the ground to the height of the three-story window - otherwise I don't dare to jump down directly, the city gate is okay, wrought iron wrapped wooden gate, very strong, however, only this city gate, it is estimated that it will be attacked by the Suzaku army, if the two sides fight a war of attrition, we can't fight.

Half a circle, a soldier on the city wall shouted: "The enemy army has appeared!" ”

I turned my head to look at the top of the mountain, and saw that where the mountain and the sky meet, a patch of red appeared, which was the red tassel on the helmet of the Suzaku Army.

Ropes fell from the city wall, and a few of us climbed up, and I looked back into the city, and the defenders were demolishing the houses, mainly to collect the stones used to build the houses, and later, we could smash the enemy down.

I thought about it for a while, and ordered the soldiers below to completely block the gate with stones on the inside of the city gate, we have few people, even if we kill the enemy army, it is impossible to go out of the city to pursue, simply seal the gate, so as not to be broken the city, the Suzaku army wants to come up, can only climb the city wall.

Soon, the city gate was sealed, and at this time, some scouts of the Green Dragon Army came out of the woods at the foot of the opposite mountain and quickly ran towards the city wall.

"Why is there still anyone outside?" I frowned.

"Uh...... Maybe it's the brothers who were released before? The leader of the scouts was also puzzled.

"General, put the ropes down! The enemy is coming! The scouts outside the city shouted as they ran in this direction.

"Put the ropes!" The scout leader ordered.

The defenders of the city began to lower the ropes, and at this time, more than a dozen Green Dragon Army scouts ran out of the woods, and while running, they turned back, panicked, and there was a guy who seemed to have been hit by an arrow from the forest, fell to the ground, struggled to get up, and continued to run forward.

"Lord Chen, why don't you go down and answer it?" The scout leader was a little anxious.

I nodded, and the leader of the scouts jumped off the wall with more than thirty men, and met them, and the two sides met in the middle of the steppe and ran towards each other.

I frowned and looked at them, feeling that something was wrong, and then looked at a young man from the Blue Dragon Army beside me, who was looked up and down by me, a little hairy, and asked cautiously, "Lord Chen, what's wrong?" ”

"You pick up your armor, and I'll see what color your pants are underneath." I say.

"Huh?" The soldier looked confused.

"Hurry up!" I whispered, "This is a military order!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The soldier quickly put down his spear and took off his armor, which consisted of dark blue underpants.

"You're all taken off!" I told the soldiers around me that they did the same, and they all wore dark blue shirts.

I turned back to the soldiers in the city who were nervously carrying stones: "You guys, stop, take off your pants and show me!" Hurry up! ”

The soldiers in the city took off their pants, and they were all shirts of the same color!

"Damn, dare to me!" I said angrily, "Archers, shoot all those soldiers on the steppe!" ”

"Huh? My lord, my own people! The archer asked, puzzled.

"yourself and carry out the order!" I grabbed a bow and shot an arrow first, uh...... I wasn't very good at using a bow and arrow, so I shot a lot wide.

However, these archers and soldiers were all well-trained, and they swished and fired arrows, shooting down most of the scouts on the grassland, and the scout leader hurriedly shouted: "Lord Chen, why are you shooting us?" ”

I ordered the archers to stop shooting: "It's okay if you don't shoot, dare you take off your pants?" ”

The leader of the scouts froze for two seconds, then suddenly turned around and ran in the direction of the woods.

"Shoot!" I gave the order again, and the arrows rained down, knocking the remaining scouts to the ground.

"The Suzaku scouts on the city walls listen!" I shouted, "Stand up yourself, Lord Ben will spare you a dog's life!" ”

Everyone looked at me puzzled.

"I'll count to three, and if you don't stand up, I'll let you work in pairs and take off your pants one by one to check! Those in red pants will be killed! ”

Everyone suddenly realized and looked at the people around them.

Before, when the soldier who came out of the woods to "pretend" to be hit by an arrow fell, I accidentally saw a touch of red in the gap in his armor, which was in stark contrast to the black armor of the Blue Dragon Army......
