Tianshui County is located on the border between the Donghua Empire and the Tucker Kingdom, and is the birthplace of the second largest river in the Donghua Empire, the Turbid River, and is a military important place in the northwest of the empire.

Tianshui City is located in the northwest of Tianshui County.

The city is surrounded by mountains, and there is no other passage for large troops, except for a man-made mountain road.

If the Tucker Kingdom wants to invade the Donghua Empire, this is the only way for it.

Therefore, Tianshui City, which is located in the mountains, has become a must-take place for the Tucker Kingdom.

However, Tianshui City is such a moat, how can the Tak Kingdom, which is dominated by cavalry, be able to conquer it?

This is also the reason why the empire does not care about the Tucker State.

However, on the way to Tianshui City, Bai Tiao received a battle report of the fall of Tianshui City.

"Really?"

Yang Jiaojiao had an incredible expression.

"False war reports are going to lose their heads. ”

Bai Tiao also couldn't believe it, but the black and white words were right in front of him, so he couldn't believe it.

At the same time, the herald conveyed an edict from Twilight Snow, demanding that Bai Tiao return to Huadu immediately and discuss the crusade against the Tak Kingdom.

After thinking about it for a while, Bai Tiao felt that returning at this time was definitely not the best policy.

Bai Tiao was still five days away from Tianshui City, and although the number of the three thousand guards led by Bai Tiao was small, its combat strength was outstanding.

Tianshui City originally had a garrison of 100,000 troops, and now although it has fallen, it is impossible for the entire army to be wiped out.

Moreover, if the danger of Tianshui is not encountered, it will never fall easily, and it is very likely that the fighter will be missed on the return journey at this time.

"Herald, it is not appropriate to return at this time, please tell the princess, and after I return to Huadu, I will ask the princess for guilt. ”

"Sir, there is no need to plead guilty. ”

The herald looked at the white stripe meaningfully, and then took out an edict from his bosom.

"White stripe order!"

Shirostripe immediately fell to one knee on the ground.

"The minister takes the order!"

"Today's water situation is critical, in order to avoid the people from suffering, the special level appoints Bai Tiao as the general of Pingbei, with full authority to deal with the invasion of the Tak State, and all military orders outside the general can be exempted, and Mr. Qi will return to the court as soon as possible!"

"General Bai's reaction is the same as what the princess said, I admire it!"

The herald clasped his fists and saluted.

Bai Tiao suddenly felt dull.

Dongfang Duxue's move contains too much.

Dongfang Duxue's move can be understood as a sign of trust in Bai Tiao, and it can also be understood that her judgment of the situation in Tianshui is the same as Bai Tiao's, and it can also be understood as testing Bai Tiao's second heart.

If the white stripe is ordered to return, what will be the result of waiting for him?

Bai Tiao is a little scared when he thinks about it.

Today's Oriental Twilight Snow has turned into a dragon.

Accompany the king like a tiger, and you must always be vigilant in the future.

"Herald, I don't know what to call it?"

Bai Tiao returned the salute with a fist to the herald.

If this person can take on the task of testing himself, it means that he is a person that Dongfang Duxue trusts very much, and his future will definitely be limitless.

"In Xia Yang Lian, he is only a small official, but Mr. Wang's name has been admired by Xia Guan for a long time. ”

"Lord Yang, you're so polite!"

"We all work for the princess, and we need to do our best in the future. ”

"For the princess, Xia Guan is willing to fall to the ground, and then die. ”

Bai Tiao sent Yang Lian off and led the troops to continue advancing.

After another three days of marching, not only did Baitiao's troops find not a single defeated soldier, but not even a single fleeing civilian.

Could it be that hundreds of thousands of civilians and 100,000 troops were all captured by the other side?

Bai Tiao ordered the troops to set up camp in the dense forest, and ordered Yang Jiaojiao to sit in the camp, ride a fast horse, and stealthily.

Probably less than three hours later, Bai Tiao faintly heard the sound of killing in the distance.

Bai Tiao followed the sound quickly, and in less than ten minutes, he came to the front of the formation.

The battle line was concentrated on the official road, with hillsides on both sides, and on the right side of the road were the soldiers of the Donghua Empire, and on the left side should be the troops of the Tak State.

However, in the midst of the Tak's troops, there were occasional snakes to help.

Bai Tiao suddenly realized!

With the assistance of the snake clan from underground, the city gate of Tianshui City is naturally useless.

Judging from the current situation, the guards of Tianshui County must have discovered the clues, not only organized troops to resist in time, but also successfully transferred the people of the city.

Moreover, after stabilizing his position, he also set up camp here to block the continued invasion of the Tucker State.

What kind of person is this guard, who has such a strategy!

Bai Tiao immediately disappeared, turned over and dismounted, and headed for the hillside to the right.

Dodging left and right on the way, after walking for about 20 minutes, Bai Tiao came to the front of Dazhai.

At this time, the generals are all supervising the formation in front of the battle, and there should not be too many people left in Dazhai except for the commander.

Bai Tiao walked into Dazhai and went directly towards the Chinese military tent.

In the Chinese military tent, a middle-aged man in a cloth shirt was sitting on a handsome chair and taking a nap.

Bai Tiao immediately gave instructions to Bai Ye, and Bai Ye instantly flashed in front of the man and pressed against his throat.

"Shhhhh

The white stripe revealed his figure, and the military seal and edict were placed on the man's table.

"How offended!"

"Under the white strip, it is the general of Pingbei who was personally appointed by the emperor, this is the general seal and the edict, please take a look at it. ”

This person was already trembling with fear, but after listening to Bai Tiao's words, he was immediately overjoyed.

"You are the rumored Bai Tiao, Mr. Bai?

This person wanted to get up to greet him, but Bai Ye pressed against his throat and had to clasp his fists and salute.

"Sun Ping, the county guard of Tianshui County, Xiaguan, has seen Mr!"

"Gongsun County Guard, please also check the military seal and imperial decree first. ”

"Ah, this, what's the need for this, how dare the lower officials doubt Mr. ”

"Please check carefully. ”

Gongsun Ping wanted to resign, but seeing that Bai Tiao insisted, he had to check them one by one.

After that, Shirajo retracted the white night, but became suspicious of this person's ability.

Not only does he not have the bearing of a general, but he also has the habit of being an official.

Such a situation is definitely not the work of this person!

It seems that there must be other masters behind this.

"Gongsun Junshou, how is the battle going now, how many troops does our army still have?"

"Well, this, there should be tens of thousands of people, I, I don't know. ”

"Where are the people now, but are they all safe?"

"This, it should be on the hill behind the camp. ”

"Who is leading the front now?"

Bai Tiao had already concluded that this person must be incompetent.

"Yes, it's the daughter of the lower official. ”

"Your daughter?"

"Yes, yes. ”

"Recruit her to me at once!"

"Yes, yes, come, come, hurry, call Yun Ying back, just say that Mr. Bai Tiaobai has arrived. ”

Seeing Bai Tiao's angry face, Gongsun Ping immediately ran outside the tent of the Chinese army in three steps and two steps, and shouted loudly to the soldiers outside the tent.

Bai Tiao shook his head helplessly.

Something that is not enough to achieve and more to lose!
