Haidong's telegram said: "According to the report of the cavalry who had just returned from the ancient city, a large number of guards from Qizhou appeared in the ancient city palace, and the second general and the treasurer lost contact after entering the palace, we can conclude that there was an incident in the ancient city palace, and the father and son of the king of the ancient land and all the ministers have lost their freedom.

Because the defense of the ancient city palace has always been very tight, it is impossible to imagine that a large number of Qizhou guards can enter from the outside. So it is very likely that the ghost spirit or someone who followed him to the outer heavens descended from the sky to take control of the ancient city palace, and then they secretly reached some kind of deal with the genetics, forcing the genetics to change the line of attack. ”

When Kapok Zi learned the news that the Qizhou Imperial Palace was recruiting 30,000 recruits not long ago, he thought that the Qizhou Emperor was only worried about the invasion of the seamen to expand his troops, but now Haidong's telegram made the significance of this recruitment unusual.

Kapok Zi exchanged views with the father and daughter of the king of Nandi, and they believed that the current situation showed that Haidong's judgment was correct, otherwise it would not be possible to explain the changes in the ancient city's palace and the genetically people's abandonment of attacking the ancient city.

Kapok Zi immediately sent a telegram to Haidong, warmly welcoming all the officers and men of Langcheng to join the expeditionary force, asking them to come to Xinnancheng as soon as possible to set up defenses, and promising to equip them with the weapons and equipment that the expeditionary force had stockpiled in Xinnancheng.

In the message, Kapok agreed with Haidong's judgment on the incident in the ancient city palace, and promised to report to Shanglin immediately, and after receiving the information, Shanglin would request the space police to come to Xizhou to reconnoiter and arrest the fugitives.

Although they are far away in the prairie on the other side of the ocean, since the war in Xizhou, Shanglin and Zhen'er's mood is as tense as that of Kapok in Xizhou. The two of them had to exchange telegrams with Kapok several times a day to learn about the latest battle situation and put forward their own suggestions and opinions.

At the same time, the two of them, as always, commanded the military factory to manufacture chariots, gunpowder and guns day and night, hoping that the Xizhou War of Resistance would last for more than 20 days, so that the second batch of munitions from the prairie would have the opportunity to arrive in Xizhou before the final decisive battle.

It was getting late on this day, Shanglin and Zhen'er were having dinner in the office, under normal circumstances, Zhen'er was on duty during the day to deal with factory affairs, and after dinner, Zhen'er rested, and Shanglin was on night duty until the next morning.

At this time, the telegraph operator brought them an urgent telegram from Kapok.

Shanglin was taken aback when he took the telegram, and said to Zhen'er: "The ghosts and spirits are likely to go to Xizhou to stir up trouble!" ”

Zhen'er took the telegram and read it, thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's a blessing in disguise for us, at least it won't be worse than the king of the ancient land surrendering to the genetics and then joining forces to attack Xinnancheng." Report to Sheriff Dole and ask him to arrest the Elves.

Also, tonight's battle situation is related to the survival of Xizhou, Xinnancheng may face at least two sieges of genetics, the pressure of Kapok and Yagu's cousin is too great, they themselves are also in danger, we can't wait here, we have to ask the sheriff to take the two of us to the front line of Xizhou to watch the battle, if the situation is urgent, we must ask the sheriff to help us fight the mechanized corps of the genetive, and we must ensure that Xinnancheng is not lost. ”

Zhen'er's words calmed down Shanglin from shock, and he said in a firm tone: "The ghosts and elves are wanted by the Space Police, and the Space Police have the responsibility to go to Xizhou to arrest them, and because these wanted criminals have interfered in the Xizhou war situation and put our side in a disadvantageous position, the Space Police have the responsibility to help us." At least to rescue Kapok and the eldest cousin at a critical moment. I'll contact Sheriff Dole immediately, you hurry up and get ready, let's go to Xizhou!"

When Yagu learned that the ten corps of Langcheng had decided to join the expeditionary force and go to Xinnancheng for reinforcements, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and another comfort to him was that the sky was beautiful, and the moon and stars were scarce tonight, which was beneficial to the army of Xizhou to fight.

When the chariot procession waving the flag of the expeditionary force drove out of the city, the soldiers in the city were all rejoicing.

The five cavalry regiments reinforced by Xinnancheng have arrived in advance, and the commander of the soldiers and horses leaving the city led all the corps commanders to welcome Yagu, these people have met Yagu in Xinnancheng not long ago, and during the war, the generals did not have any politeness when they met, and Yagu went straight to the point to inquire about the deployment of troops.

The chief replied: "Report to the general, we have deployed seven infantry regiments in the hilly area northwest of the city outside the city, according to the experience of the victory in Nancheng, and they have a total of one hundred and fifty cannons, and the infantry are all equipped with the gunpowder guns of the expeditionary force. We dug a trench around the city, because we had not experienced war for a long time away from the city, so the defense was relatively lax, and the city walls were in disrepair and could not build batteries at the head of the city, so we deployed the other 150 cannons in the trenches. There were now two infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment in the city at the command of the general. ”

"We are going to use ambush tactics to deplete the enemy's combat power and delay their siege of the city," Aya said. My convoy will be the first line of defense for sniping the enemy outside the trenches, and you will deploy an infantry regiment in the trenches, but only fifty artillery pieces will be left to deploy in the northwest direction of the trenches to form a second line of defense.

Because we have far fewer tanks than the enemy, and my extraterrestrial vehicles can only fire fifty laser cannons at a time, we can't hold this city with our current combat strength, but we can't let the enemy get this city, and turn it into a furnace that incinerates the enemy's vehicles.

Immediately send an infantry regiment to pile up fuel and gunpowder in the buildings in the city, then scatter the fire behind the houses and set fire to the city as soon as the enemy's chariots enter the city.

In addition, we must prevent the enemy from attacking New South Castle overnight, so we must resolutely snipe the enemy on the route leading to New South Castle from the east of the city. All six cavalry regiments, with 200 cannons, were all ambushed in the hilly areas on both sides of the road leading to Xinnancheng outside the east gate, setting up multiple lines of defense.

After the fire broke out of the city, the infantry regiment must all quickly retreat to the east of the city, and ambush on both sides of the avenue with the cavalry regiment, my chariot finally withdrew from the avenue to the east, and the enemy's chariots will follow the pursuit, and when the enemy enters our sniper circle, they will open fire and fight together, and after the enemy retreats, we must completely cut off this avenue leading to the new southern city before retreating to the new southern city. ”

On the battlefield of Shencheng, when the men and horses led by Jiesheng and General Tuo arrived in Shencheng, Jiesheng immediately made a detailed report to King Shenhai about the changes in the battle situation.

After a short discussion, the group decided to abandon the plan to defend Shencheng, and deployed artillery and stacked oil and gunpowder in the houses and buildings on both sides of the main street in the city in advance, so as to use Shencheng as a battlefield to fight the enemy. King Shen Hai, his family, and civil officials were ready to evacuate Shencheng and go to Los Angeles at any time.

Subsequently, Jiesheng divided the ten chariots and twenty cannons left by the expeditionary force into ten cavalry regiments, and then these ten corps were ambushed in the hilly areas on both sides of the road from Shennan City to Shencheng.

Although the terrain outside the south gate of Shencheng is flat and unsafe, the ground is covered with dense barren grass and weedy forests, because he heard that the genetic people are afraid of fire, Shenhai King has made people sprinkle a large amount of gunpowder and oil in those barren grass and forests, forming a dark fire pit dotted all over the place.

There was also a moat on the outskirts of Shencheng that had been turned into a trench, and the defenders had set up hundreds of native cannons in the trenches.

The deployment of the defenders had just been completed, and the forward of the Gene Man's chariot had already rumbled into the forward position.

The battle for the defense of Shencheng was extremely fierce at the beginning, and the genetics really accepted the lesson of Nancheng, and the personnel carriers were escorted by the chariots in the middle of the Shencheng marching in unison, and the artillery fire of the chariots and the gunpowder guns of the infantry countered the sniping of the defenders.

However, this time the chariots and artillery of the expeditionary force were scattered along the route of the enemy's troops, specifically attacking the enemy's chariots, because the enemy's chariots and personnel carriers were very close to each other, and often the chariots were destroyed and exploded violently at the same time as the personnel carriers were harmed, and the infantry in ambush took advantage of the chaos to attack the infantry of the genetic people.

When the forward chariots of the Gene People arrived at the outer edge of the trench at the south gate of Shencheng and opened artillery attack, hundreds of fire pits on the ground were ignited by hundreds of rockets and turned into piles of raging fires.

The first rapid attack launched by the Gene Man was repulsed, leaving the wreckage of more than twenty vehicles outside the trenches.

But to the surprise of the defenders, a large number of genetic chariots suddenly appeared outside the north gate of Shencheng, which was barely defended, and they first blew up the north gate and the city walls on both sides with dense artillery fire, and then easily rushed into the city.

However, the sneak attack of the gene people did not expect that the defenders were ready to abandon the city, and there were hundreds of cannons hidden in the houses and buildings on both sides of the street where the chariots could accompany them, and the chariots of the gene people were shelled at close range after entering the streets of the city, and the defenders set fire at the same time as the cannons, and then immediately escaped through the back door of the house.

When the genetics' chariots fired back and blew up the houses, the flames of the buildings that had already been set on fire intensified, causing both sides of the street where the genetics' chariots passed to quickly turn into a sea of fire, and this kind of street fighting not only caused the genetics to lose more than 20 vehicles, but also greatly slowed down the speed of their advance.

When the chariot striker of the gene man arrived at the West Gate, King Shen Hai's convoy had already left Shencheng from the West Gate and moved towards Los Angeles.
