Outside Cangyun City, inside the Bretan Army camp. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Your Highness, six days ago, the grain and grass supplies escorted by General Lydon were burned by a Kyrgyz army in the forest two hundred miles west of Lanyue City. "A herald stood in the tent and reported to the commander of the Bretan army, Christian, and the generals.

"The grain and grass that Lieton was escorting has been burned!" Christian stood up from his chair in shock, and the Bretan generals in the big tent also showed expressions of disbelief.

"You explain the specific situation, how could the grain and grass that General Lieton was in charge of be burned by the Kyrgias?" Orlando, the general of the Bretan Army, stared at the herald in front of him.

"General Lieton led 50,000 troops to escort this batch of grain and grass supplies, and was attacked by about 80,000 Kyrgynian troops in the forest two hundred miles west of Lanyue City...... In the end, General Lyton rushed out of the forest with only more than 10,000 men, and all the supplies were burned in the forest. The herald told him what he had gotten.

"Eighty thousand Kyrgidian troops, how could there be eighty thousand Kyrgidian troops near Lanyue City!" Oraldo's eyes widened, "General, these eighty thousand Kyrgidian troops have long been hiding in the cloud forest south of Ziyang City, and it is Ziyang City that provides food and grass supplies to these eighty thousand Kyrgidian troops. "The Bretan Army spies have found out where the 80,000 Kyrgidian troops who attacked Lieton had been hiding.

Slowly sitting on the chair, Christian, the commander of the Bretan Army, had an anxious look on his face, "How long is the food and grass for our army now?" asked Christian.

"Your Highness, our army has brought more grain and grass at the beginning, and now there is nearly a month's worth of grain and grass in the army, but it's just ...... There was a shortage of warm clothing, and the cold winter in Gilgia was coming, and the soldiers did not have enough cotton clothes and quilts to protect against the cold. A Bretan Army general reported.

"General Orlando, what is the condition of the Gilgias in Cangyun City, is it possible for us to take Cangyun City in ten days?"

"This, Your Highness, Cangyun City is the capital of the Gilgidian king, the city defense is strong, and the Gilgidian army inside is holding the city wall, we have attacked Cangyun City for seven days without any signs of breaking the city, ten days...... I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture Cangyun City. Orlando hesitated and replied.

Sitting on the chair, Christian put his hands on his knees, bowed his head and was silent for a while, "Withdraw" Prince Christian, the commander of the Bretan army, raised his head and said, "Let's withdraw into Liyang City in the east first, and the soldiers can warm themselves in the houses in Liyang City......" Christian's words were not finished.

"Report, emergency military intelligence. "A herald entered the big tent," Your Highness, two days ago, the Gilgidian army entered the city of Liyang through a secret passage, and the Gilgidians killed General Habs and more than 200 soldiers stationed in the lord's palace, and occupied the city of Liyang. The herald's report of this terrible news made the generals of the Bretan Army in the big tent restless, and the generals all turned their heads to each other.

"General Aurado, gather all the troops, and we will withdraw to Lanyue City. Prince Christian stood up and said.

"Yes, Your Highness. Orlando took the order, "Go and inform Letton that he and Lodson must defend Lanyue City, and if Lanyue City is also lost, I will not spare him." Christian shouted to the herald.

Standing on the wall of Cangyun City, Meng Fan looked at the Bretan military camp stationed outside the city.

"Lord Claude, the Bretan army has stopped attacking the walls since yesterday, and judging by the movements of these Bretans, they should be preparing to retreat. Tiberius said behind Meng Fan.

"Well, good news has been reported from the front, the food and grass of the Bretan army have been burned, and the commander of the Bretan army, Christian, has no choice but to withdraw his troops for safety. Meng Fan glanced at Tiberius behind him and said with a smile.

"Lord Claude, I heard that it was the famous general of the Bretan Army who escorted the food and grass to Flying Tiger Lieton. Tibi looked at the dark-haired man in front of him and said softly.

"Yes, it was really unexpected that Christian, the commander of the Brettan Army, sent Lieton to escort the food and grass supplies. Meng Fan turned, "With Oram's ability, they may not be able to deal with Lieton, but in the end they have completed their mission, Tiberius, it seems...... This Nice general is a very capable man. Meng Fan said in an appreciative tone.

"It is said that General Ness used a lose-lose tactic to burn the grain and grass that Lieton was escorting, and his own side lost 50,000 soldiers, but ...... Strategically speaking, Generals Nice and Oram have completed the task you have given them, Lord Claude. Tiberius nodded.

"There are still many talented generals in the royal army. Meng Fan looked at Cangyun City and sighed softly.

"Tiberius, inform the generals in Cangyun City to assemble, and we will begin to formulate a battle plan to defeat the Bretan army. Meng Fan thought for a moment and looked up. "Yes, Lord Claude. Tiberius saluted and departed.
