"Now order General Wang Kai to lead 200,000 infantry straight down to Wangchuan City, Duoshui City, it is necessary to clear the remnants of the enemy army in the south, and after the situation is settled, he will lead the army to the northwest. General Li Ling, order you to lead an army of 300,000 to the north, take the important northern town of Huangling, and after the form is decided, you will wait for the opportunity to advance westward to force Qinyuan City, and together with General Wang's headquarters, you will approach Canglan City from the northwest. General Lu Zetao, this general knows that you use your troops safely and never take risks, and now orders you to lead 200,000 cavalry troops into Canglan City, remember, this time you can only besiege, without my general order is not allowed to attack the city. The remaining 300,000 troops, led by General Ben himself, approached Qin Yuan City. Generals, this time I divided my troops to attack the city, and we must not disturb the people's lives, if you want me to know which general is wantonly messing around, then don't blame me for not thinking about the old feelings. ”

"The last general commands!" Everyone present shouted in unison.

In this way, the plan to encroach on the Silver Moon Empire was finalized, which also indicated that the Silver Moon Empire, which had not fallen for thousands of years, was about to die under Xiao Yun's hands.

。。。

"Your Majesty, among the more than 100 spies sent by our army, none of them have returned to the city so far, so they must have encountered an accident again. "A Silver Moon General knelt down on one knee to report to the Emperor Yan Shuang.

"Forget it, don't explore it anymore, at such a close distance, isn't it clear at a glance at the city. Yan Shuang rubbed his temples, now Xiao Yun's 200,000 army has besieged Canglan City for ten days, although it was okay a few days ago, and some of the spies released could run back to report the news, but since the sixth day, this wave of spies has been like a stone sinking into the sea, and there must be that the Yingzhou army has been prepared, waiting for these people to take the bait.

"The last will obey. ”

The enemy army outside the city suddenly increased its troops, and now the mountains are full of the army of Yingzhou State, and the military camps are in a row with no end in sight. Suddenly, the general defending the city hurriedly ran from outside the hall and knelt in front of Yan Shuang to report.

"Hey. It's time to come, let's go, Aiqing, follow me to the city. With that, Yan Shuang dragged his tired body and led more than 100 civil and military generals behind him out of the main hall.

"Your Majesty, please see, the 200,000 troops who originally besieged my Canglan City suddenly retreated more than ten miles today, hiding in the mountains on the east and west sides, and those endless military flags can be seen in the distance, judging from the number of those military tents, the enemy army outside the city at this time is probably as many as seven or eight hundred thousand. The general pointed to the snow-white tent that spread into the sky in the distance. Although with Yan Shuang's eyes now, it is impossible to see the truth of this in detail, but just from the enemy's position and the dusty barracks, it can be seen that this is definitely the main force of Xiao Yun's army, and the big battle he has been waiting for these days is coming.

"Spread my will, from today onwards, the soldiers of the city defense must strictly monitor the movements of the enemy, and must not relax in the slightest, and all the soldiers of the silver moon will wait for the time of the big battle. ”

"The last will obey. ”

At the moment when the soldiers of the Silver Moon Empire were nervous in Canglan City, the 200,000 troops under Lu Zetao outside the city were still no more than one and no less, as for the scene that Yan Shuang saw, it was General Lu who ordered the soldiers to disguise it.

Just five days ago, when he heard the report from the scout camp that he had caught a spy from the Silver Moon Empire three miles outside the camp, Lu Zetao became interested. Under his interrogation overnight, the spy actually told all the military and civilian situation in the city, as well as the location of the "dog hole" under the city wall that they could enter and exit, and Lu Zetao, who learned the news, rubbed his hands and was excited, and he summoned the generals of each battalion that night to discuss the follow-up plan.

Before dawn the next day, Lu Zetao personally led three hundred archers to ambush on the eastern slope of Canglan City, and on the opposite side was the only "dog hole" location that could be entered and exited by the Silver Moon scouts.

In this way, for four consecutive days, as long as the person who crawled out of the cave, Lu Zetao no matter what kind of clothes he was wearing, whether he was a man or a woman, old or young, as long as he entered the range of the archers, he would be shot into a hedgehog and die in an instant, which also led to the fact that the Yinyue Dynasty could not obtain the information of the Yingzhou Army outside the city at all, and the Great Elder of the Blazing Blood Demon Sect had no intention of helping, after all, people had words first, and they could only save the lives of Yan Shuang's family, and would not participate in the war between the two countries.

Three days later, Lu Zetao divided out 50,000 soldiers, hoarded all the things he had brought to camp in the mountains on the east and west sides, and deliberately placed them in a position that could be seen by the defenders of Canglan City, thus creating the illusion of continuous military camps.

Moreover, he also divided 20,000 cavalry to gallop in the east and west company camps, stirring up dust as if there were still hundreds of thousands of troops in the battalion, which made the Yinyue defenders even more confused for a while.

In this way, Lu Zetao's 200,000 troops trapped the 300,000 defenders in Canglan City in the city, and no one dared to go out of the city to investigate the truth for a few days.

In the past ten days, Wang Kai's 200,000 troops have been like a bamboo, and there are only surrendered troops who have abandoned the city, and there are no enemies who dare to resist. Although after some twists and turns, Wang Kai also successfully pocketed Wangchuan City. After a day of rectification, he personally led the army to continue to set off and go straight to Duoshui City, leaving only a few soldiers to maintain law and order and a group of civil servants arranged by Emperor Mu Xin to manage the city.

Compared with Wang Kai's smooth sailing, Li Ling, who went all the way to the north, encountered a lot of trouble. After all, this time Yingzhou Kingdom marched from the southeast of Yinyue, which also made Huangling City, an important town in the north, not affected. Moreover, Huangling Taishou Tao Qian was an upright person who loved the people like a son, although he was also overwhelmed by the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but he did not reach out to the people in the city under his jurisdiction to ask for it. As for the extra tax money, he collected it all by exterminating the bandits in the mountains.

Therefore, the cohesion of such a Taishou who is loved by the people can be imagined. Although most of the soldiers in Huangling and the thirteen acropolis were requisitioned away due to the war, this also made the soldiers available in Tao Gan's hands only more than 100,000 people, most of whom were still old, weak and disabled, but after he raised his arms, among the fourteen cities in the northern region of Yinyue, countless middle-aged men flocked to them, vowing to serve the country with their bodies and advance and retreat together with Tao Taishou.

In this way, Li Ling's army, which had sworn to be, had just stepped into the northern region of Yinyue, and it ushered in stubborn resistance that it had not encountered since the beginning of the war.
