As for how far Xiu can go, Aurestis actually doesn't expect it, he just needs Xiu to buy some more time, and when Xiu uses the magic array to return to the Carolingian Empire, it is already late at night. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xiu looked at the information he had obtained in the past month overnight, and in front of outsiders, Xiu still maintained his original appearance, and in order not to arouse suspicion, he also suppressed his strength to the level of the Sword Saint.
According to the intelligence institute, Tantian's troops have invaded the territory of the Xili Kingdom, and they are all the way like a bamboo, and there are no garrisons in several cities on the border, plus the previous bloody washing of the Three Kingdoms to surrender some beast cities, it has not been long ago, and the Xili Kingdom has now sunset.
Tan Tian negotiated with the mayor before the siege of the city, as long as Kaesong surrendered, the mayor's position and rights remained unchanged, and the rights and personal property of the residents in the city would be protected by the Siluo military empire.
In order to show their sincerity, these cities donated a lot of money and food to fund Tantian's army, everything was carried out according to Tantian's previous plan, the battle report from the front was transmitted back to the imperial capital, Nina was also very happy, and personally issued an order to praise Tantian and the soldiers in front.
At the same time, in Manster, Lu Shifan and Tie Long looked at the battle report from the front, their faces were extremely ugly, and Tie Long slapped the table angrily: "These bastards who are greedy for life and afraid of death have surrendered without even resisting?"
Lu Shifan sighed: "The trees are scattered, and the surrender of these cities is also expected by me, these dozen or so cities bordering the Kingdom and the Siluo Military Empire are originally extremely rich, they are the only cities that have not been affected by the war at present, as early as when the Furnace City was destroyed, those mayors no longer paid taxes to the central government." ”
Tielong said: "What should we do now?"
Lu Shifan said: "At present, I have two plans, the first plan is that you lead three thousand ironclad troops to protect the prince and princess into the hopeless forest to hide, and the second plan is to defend Manster, but after all, Manster is only a city, not a fortress, and we have a limited number of magicians, and they are all low-end magicians, and it is very difficult to defend it." ”
Tie Long smiled bitterly: "Enter the Hopeless Forest?There are too many demonic beasts in there, if you want to avoid the pursuit of the Siluo Military Empire, you can only go to the deepest part of the forest, and the chance of coming back alive is very low, rather than die in the mouths of those monsters and become their food, it is better to die here." ”
Lu Shifan said: "In this case, I have to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman." In fact, from Lu Shifan's point of view, he is more inclined to surrender, after all, what glory and ancestral teachings are clinging to, and he can't be eaten, in Lu Shifan's view, the eldest husband should follow the trend and not stick to the rules.
Tielong is different from Lu Shifan, he has always regarded himself as the successor of Tietu, hoping that he can become a figure like Tietu and become a military god who turns things around, but unfortunately, Tielong's own talent is not as good as Tietu, and he is now facing such a mess, it is very difficult to turn things around by Tielong alone, Tielong himself knows that he is fully mentally prepared.
Princess Diana is also in fear every day, but she also knows that the king of the dead country generally does not end well, even if you send people to live under the fence, it is difficult to save your life, on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly? Princess Diana understands this truth very well, even if she and Samen want to live a normal life now, it is impossible, and the Slo military empire will not let go of herself.
Although Diana also received a handwritten letter from Evdili, she still didn't want to believe it, she felt that it was just a means of the other party, and it was better to die happily than to live in humiliation.
Samon didn't have these thoughts, although he also knew that the country was in danger, but since Princess Diana let him go to the palace that day, she didn't let him go to the palace, she didn't let him study, she just let him play every day, and soon Samen left the country behind, and Diana wanted him to enjoy his childhood.
In just one month, all the remaining cities of the Ciri Kingdom have issued a declaration of surrender, and a steady stream of money, food, and supplies have been sent to Tantian's troops, and most of the Ciri Kingdom has fallen into the hands of the Siluo Military Empire, except for a few cities around Munster.
Now this situation, it is time to choose a side, the current situation is extremely clear, with the Siluo Military Empire there is meat to eat, and with the Xili Kingdom there is only death, for today's situation, Lu Shifan has already expected it, but he is helpless, and Tielong is also helpless.
With Tielong's current strength, he can only control the three cities around Manster, and Tielong is now facing a dilemma, most of his troops are mainly infantry, and they can't compete with the 100,000 cavalry troops of Tantian.
However, once the turtle retreated into the city, there was simply no way to put so many soldiers in one city, so Tielong had to put 50,000 troops in Munster, while the remaining 50,000 troops were stationed in two cities.
Fortunately, Lu Shifan raised enough military rations to ensure the supply of 100,000 troops for a year, but Munster and the other two cities were not designed according to military standards, the walls were not thick enough, and there were no strong gates or moats, so it was difficult to say how long these three cities could be defended.
At this time, Tan Tian had already arrived in advance with the vanguard of 100,000 cavalry, and on the day of Tan Tian's arrival, the other two cities immediately surrendered, and all the soldiers were disarmed, although Tietu Tebi sent two lieutenant generals to command 25,000 men each to defend the two cities.
However, the two adjutant generals saw that the general trend had gone, and they really couldn't raise the courage to resist, but fortunately they took these soldiers to surrender in the city, and to find a way to survive, as soon as Tantian's troops arrived, two cities opened the city and surrendered, and 50,000 soldiers surrendered at once, this sudden happiness, but made Tantian busy for a while.
Especially on the issue of placing these surrendered soldiers, Tan Tian really spent some brains, although these soldiers surrendered, but Tan Tian did not dare to recruit them again, and attacked Munster in turn, Tan Tian was worried that these soldiers would come and attack him.
At least before the defeat of Munster, these soldiers did not want to be soldiers again, although at this time Munster only had 50,000 men left, but Tan Tian still did not attack immediately, he had to wait for the arrival of 200,000 troops before starting the attack.
