On the second day after we took Hexu Pass, the garrisons of the thirteen cities in the Eastern Theater that were close to Hexu Pass had already begun to move, and they all gathered in the direction of Hexu Pass.

The exact number of people is still unknown, and it will take some time for reinforcements from the five cities in the southeast to arrive.

Without the presence of a million Yin troops, Hexuguan has long since become no longer an iron bucket, as long as the other party's assembled forces are large enough, coupled with the understanding of this area, such a planned war, Wei Junyao and I are not sure enough to play a role in determining the outcome of the battle.

But we can't recruit as much as we did in the Five Cities in the Southeast.

The Eastern Theater has been ruled by Jiuquan Mansion for a long enough time, and the residents and ordinary people in it can't tell who is a human or a ghost, and if they wantonly recruit a large number of unknown people to enter the Hexu Pass at this critical moment, their actions and actions are not as good as opening the hallway and luring wolves into the room.

The stable situation began to become stalemate with a battle report from the movements of the Yin army in the surrounding towns, Hexu Pass is too big, and the daily city defense alone needs to consume nearly 50,000 troops, and there are less than 180,000 people left, how to face the menacing enemy counterattack, and there must be no shortage of the two gold and silver archers that we and Wei Junyao faced before.

The dawn broke and then nightfall, and everyone discussed in the secret hall for a night without coming up with a result.

"I don't think so." The sixth aunt pondered for a moment and said: "At present, the number of enemy troops is not clear, for the time being, I only know that these Yin troops are deployed from the garrisons in the surrounding towns, if it is just like this, judging from the city defense methods that I have been accustomed to in Jiuquan Mansion for so long, the thirteen cities, the number of people is all sandwiched together, and the maximum number will not exceed one million." ”

"And it is impossible for this million troops to be fully dispatched, leaving an empty city, according to half of the most conservative dispatch, the number of Yin troops who may attack Hexu Pass next should not exceed 500,000."

"If there are only 500,000 enemies, plus Lord Bai and Princess Wushan, who are just guarding the city, it won't be a problem." Bai Jin responded.

The sixth aunt nodded and said, "This is the best plan at the moment, but if these 500,000 people are just for the siege of the city, and their ultimate purpose is to wait for the real reinforcements of Jiuquan Mansion to arrive, then everything will become unknown." ”

Aunt Six's words hit the nail on the head.

The 100,000 Bai family army, including Wei Junyao and me, took the Eastern Theater to suppress the Xuguan, which may not be a bad thing for Jiuquan Mansion.

Because Wei Junyao's erratic traces and I suddenly appeared here, this is tantamount to giving Jiuquan Mansion a chance to fully wipe us out, 500,000 troops besiege the city, and then wait for all the soldiers and horses to arrive together, encircle and annihilate the Bai family's army, and then capture me and Wei Junyao alive or kill them on the spot, which was originally an unattainable thing for them, but it suddenly became a reality.

Although this is only speculation, if I were a deaf or a ninth evil monk, then there is no doubt that I would not hesitate to do so.

The predicament suddenly turned into a desperate situation, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly solidified.

"The base camp of Jiuquan Mansion is located in Shuofang City, the northernmost part of the ancient road, send troops to increase the number of troops from there, even if all the routes are in their hands, it will take ten days at the earliest, in these ten days, what do you think we need to do?" I thought about it and asked out loud.

"The first thing is to speed up the reinforcements in the southeast." The sixth aunt said: "A total of 170,000 troops, if it is fast, there will be four days to arrive, but after four days, I dare not guarantee that the Yin army mobilized from the surrounding cities can complete the siege of Hexu Pass, once the deployment of the encirclement circle is completed before the reinforcements arrive, then we will be completely separated from the reinforcements, it is very likely that they will also send a part of the troops, or mobilize a certain amount of troops from some cities to pursue and annihilate our reinforcements, at that time, the reinforcements will not only not have any support for us, On the contrary, it will become a burden to hold us back. ”

Wei Junyao and I glanced at each other when we heard this, and we both saw the approval in each other's eyes, but we didn't speak, and motioned for the sixth aunt to continue.

"From the five cities in the southeast to Hexu Pass, you need to pass through nearly five towns along the river, and the interception you have to face naturally does not need to be said, but the most important thing is whether they can successfully pass this dangerous road, and after passing, there is still much to say, no one dares to guarantee this."

"Then according to the sixth aunt, what should they do?" I asked.

"I'll send someone to pick them up." The sixth aunt said loudly: "Before, we were able to take 150,000 people to complete the sneak attack and escape again and again in Jiuquan Mansion, all because we have mastered an undercurrent that has not yet been known after the cataclysm, although the undercurrent is not large, but there is no problem in accommodating 170,000 people to pass slowly one after another, if this plan can go smoothly, three days, at most, the reinforcements from the southeast can make peace with us and jointly resist the besieging enemy." ”

"Xiao Yi, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Wei Junyao looked at me and asked.

I nodded and said, "Then it's all up to Aunt Sixth to arrange it." ”

But after the sixth aunt finished speaking, she had no intention of leaving, she lowered her eyebrows and groaned for a moment, and said, "Actually, these are not the most difficult problems we have at the moment. ”

I was stunned when I heard this, and said puzzledly: "Sixth Aunt may as well say it directly." ”

The sixth aunt said: "Judging from the current situation, even if the reinforcements from the southeast are allowed to enter the city smoothly, we will not be able to escape the status quo of being besieged and waiting for reinforcements, even if there are more than 170,000 people, when we face the fierce Yin army that rushed from Shuofang City, what are our chances of winning?" ”

"As long as we are still in Hexuguan, if we can't stabilize this eastern battlefield in a short period of time, and quickly plant the banner of Princess Wushan or the Bai Family Army in every city, then we will face an endless war, even if we can win every battle, but how many troops and material resources will be consumed, and these things are also the things we lack the most at the moment."

"If we don't take some measures as soon as possible, even if the enemy only besieges us, sooner or later we will be consumed here." Bai Jin said in a deep voice.

"Then don't sit still."

Wei Junyao, who had been silent, spoke coldly here and said, "Sixth Aunt, to what extent have the Yin troops dispatched from other surrounding towns now?" ”

The sixth aunt was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Among the thirteen surrounding cities, Longjin Town is the closest to Hexuguan, and the outside of the city is open, which is the center of the gathering of these Yin troops. ”

Seeing that Wei Junyao was still looking at her lightly, the sixth aunt thought for a while and said: "According to the information we have so far, among the reinforcements from the thirteen cities, the troops of the six cities have already arrived at the assembly point, and the remaining seven cities are estimated to take two days to completely complete the assembly, and then move closer to Hexu Pass." ”

"Six Cities." Wei Junyao nodded and said, "In other words, with the original strength of Longjin Town, they only have 250,000 people there at most at this time?" ”

The sixth aunt thought for a while and said, "Exactly." ”

"Two hundred and fifty thousand ......" Wei Junyao chewed the number in his mouth several times, then slowly stood up, looked at Bai Jin and said in a deep voice: "Bai Jin!" ”

Bai Jin hurriedly knelt down from the chair and said sharply: "The end will be!" ”

"Quickly gather all the Bai family troops to join at the West Gate!" Wei Junyao said.

"All?"

Bai Jin was stunned, but when he met Wei Junyao's fierce gaze, he immediately whispered: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

"Sixth Aunt." Wei Junyao turned his eyes and said.

"The last general!"

"Gather all the old departments of Luoyan Town, and also gather at the West Gate!"

"The last general obeys!"

After the two of them left, I asked Wei Junyao and said, "Do you have a plan?" ”

Wei Junyao nodded and said, "If you don't take some extraordinary measures at this time, then in the next few days, you can only be slaughtered." ”

"What do you want to do?"

"Oolong."
