Originally, if you don't fight and stick to the Styx, you can let the Xuan army withdraw from the war, preserve your strength, and you can also make a profit!

However, Xiaobao can't let himself stay out of the matter, can't let the Central Plains fall into the hands of foreign countries, whether it is the Japanese bird people or the Hu Xiao people, once they let them invade the Central Plains, the people of the world will become their slaves, and they will have no way to live, and the life is much more miserable than now!

Therefore, in the face of the chaotic war situation, the Xuan army not only wants to intervene, but also provokes the main beam, and contributes more than the Yin army!

The matter of the Tiger Courage Army has made Xiaobao realize that Yinhu can give up even the most elite troops for his throne, and there is nothing he can't let go of the people in this world!

He doesn't care, I don't care! Xiaobao's expression has already told everyone that this battle must be fought, not only to fight, but also to fight and win!

Shi Wuce sat on the chair, looked at the sand table in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Helan is in the north, and we can't reach it, so we can't take care of it." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Hu Xiao and the Japanese Bird We need to divide our troops to deal with it, in this way, we will stretch the battle line very long, which is a big taboo for the current Xuan Army!"

Xiaobao turned his head and asked him, "How many people are there in the total strength of the Xuan Army now?"

Shi Wuce said to him: "The total number of Flying Dragon Corps is now 56,500! The Qilin Corps has 87,800 men! The Xuanwu Corps has 131,600 men! The Kiss Corps has 78,400 men! The Luanfeng Corps has 3,200 men! Now the total number of soldiers in the Xuanjun Army is 357,500!"

"That's not right!" Xiaobao frowned and shook his head, looked at Shi Wuce and said, "I remember that Wuying moved from Yueshan to Fengdian, and there were more than 80,000 people at that time, not including our original Flying Dragon Soldiers of nearly 20,000 people, why is it that it has only become less than 60,000 now?"

Everyone's expressions dimmed, and Lu Wuwu, the deputy general of the Flying Dragon Corps, clenched his fists tightly, and said to Xiaobao with grief: "I encountered some trouble when attacking the five towns, especially Fengdian City, and I also fought nearly 30,000 Flying Dragon soldiers, if it weren't for the fact that the military advisor invented a pseudo-body suit and used the fraud to stay at the gate of the city, Yunshang and the invisible killed the prefect and the guard in it, causing civil strife, and our casualties may have doubled!"

"Then how many brothers did we sacrifice in the general attack in the battle of five towns, and how many enemies were annihilated?" Xiao Bao felt that his voice trembled a little, he knew that the war was cruel, but when he really faced it, he still felt a little unbearable.

Shi Wuce sighed and said, "A total of 53,000 Xuan troops were sacrificed! 38,000 enemies were annihilated! 35,000 people were captured! If it weren't for the continuous addition of people to the Xuan army in the past few months, maybe the battle of the five towns would have caused us a lot of damage!"

Xiao Bao gasped, such a huge sacrifice was completely beyond his expectations! 53,000 people, which is almost equal to the total number of people in the entire Hades army when he came to the Styx!

However, the enemy was only 38,000 people annihilated! The number of his own side was 20,000 more than that of the enemy, which made it difficult for Xiao Bao to accept! And the enemy's troops stationed in the five towns should only be 60,000 or 70,000, and the number of casualties was more than the number of prisoners, which shows the fierceness of the battle!

There is no need for others to explain, Xiaobao also knows that siege warfare is the most unavoidable battle, and only when there is no way to do it, will he make this decision. And once the city is attacked, the attacker often has to pay several times or even dozens of times the price than the defender!

It has to be said that it is a miracle that the Xuan army was able to annihilate 30,000 enemies at the cost of more than 50,000 people and capture the five towns! But in the face of such a big damage, Xiaobao was still shocked in his heart, and he was speechless for a while!

Shi Wuce sighed and said, "It's a pity that our army really doesn't have much time, and it doesn't work to use the siege plan. The enemy is extremely stubborn, and the city is fighting against Xuan, and the negotiation is also impossible, so it can only be fought hard!"

Lu Wuwu said with palpitations on the side: "Fengdian City Guard General Baishengzhi is really a good man, even if it is an enemy, I have to praise him! In a battle with him, the casualties of our army exceeded the sum of the other four towns!"

"That's good!" Shi Seng sighed and said: "This person is really a genius, and he has built Fengdian City as solid as gold, and he has put his heart together! A hundred disciples of the Shi family did not die in the hands of the Yin army, but they were killed by the people of Fengdian, which is really sad!"

Ru Ya said lightly on the side: "Fengdian is close to the south coast, the reef is dense, the city walls and houses are mostly built of stones, it is not easy to attack! The city gate is surrounded by sharp stones, chariots cannot travel, war horses cannot run, so it is easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city!"

This is indeed true, and everyone nods their heads. However, Xiaobao was still very interested in this Baishengzhi, looked at Shi Wuce and said, "Where is this Baijun now?"

Lu Wuwu sighed and said: "Fengdian broke the city, and one of the Yum people fought to kill more than 30 of my Xuan army, and finally exhausted himself, but he used his only remaining strength to cut his throat!"

"Ahh

"But fortunately, we rescued him, leaving a life, and now he is still a prisoner of war and is probably about to recover!" Lu Wuwu then said to Xiaobao, almost didn't make Xiaobao angry!

What about Senior Brother, you speak so out of tune! Why are you sighing if you don't die! Xiaobao glared at him and said to Shi Wuce: "Send someone to take good care of it, I want to let this person join the Xuan Army! It's a pity that such people were sent to the southwest frontier by the Yin Army! I'll go see him tomorrow!"

Liu Rufeng looked at Shui Lianyue next to him and nodded, this kind of mind is the heart that the emperor should have, to be able to use meritocracy, regardless of talents, so that he can make his strength stronger and stronger!

"By the way, Emperor Zun, I received the Mohuan State Letter today, and Emperor Tongyao asked for support from the Xuan Army!" Shi Wuce took out a small sheepskin scroll from his arms and handed it to Xiaobao.

Looking at the familiar font on it, Xiaobao knew that it was written by Tong Yao. Unexpectedly, Tong Yao has already established an intelligence exchange with Styx, and the distance that originally took several days and nights to reach now only takes one day to know each other's news!

"Now I reply to the letter, just say that I am back, and I will personally go to Mohuan tomorrow! General You, do you have any suggestions for this battle?" Xiaobao turned to look at You Yong, he is an expert when it comes to naval battles!

You Yong looked at Xiaobao firmly and said: "Emperor, the last general thinks that since he wants to fight, he will let go of the fight! A small number of soldiers does not mean that he will definitely lose! In the first battle of the South China Sea, the Kiss Corps suffered a slight loss, but it captured a large number of warships of the Yin Army, and we are not afraid to fight with the Bird People now!"

When attacking the five towns in the southwest, the Kiss Corps was not idle, and Emperor Yin did not send a large army of infantry to support, but the 150,000 naval troops in the South China Sea participated in the battle!

Gong Qi, the general of the navy who had cooperated with the Xuan army before, was transferred away for some reason, and now the deputy general Hua Yan is the general, this person is very cunning, and he is very hostile to the Xuan army, and wants to use 150,000 troops to meet the five towns, but was blocked by You Yong, and after a battle, the Yin army left thousands of warships and 50,000 corpses, fled in a hurry, and did not dare to come to the Hukou Strait again!

Xiaobao looked at Shi Wuce, and the two of them smiled heartily, it seems that General You already has a plan in his heart! Xiaobao smiled and said to him: "Then how to let go of the fight, and ask General You to talk about the auspiciousness!"

You Yong took the wooden pole on the table and said to everyone: "The country of the Japanese birds is known as an army of 800,000 people, no matter whether there are so many or not, at least this time's preparations will definitely be more adequate than the last time! When they arrive, even if they divide the army in two places, it is enough to bring a great threat to us and Mohuan!"

Everyone nodded, although the Japanese birds were greedy and ruthless, their advantages in naval battles were also obvious to all, and they had to admit it, so they made Styx and Mohuan attach great importance to it, and the success or failure of this battle is related to the political pattern of the mainland!

You Yong snorted coldly and said, "He is ready to fight us, of course he has the advantage, why should we be stupidly beaten by him? Why can't we do the opposite and fight without waiting for him to be ready?"

Everyone was stunned, and they didn't understand the meaning of You Yong's words. You Yong pointed to the sand table with a wooden pole, pointed to a place and said to everyone: "Look, this is the place where the Japanese people must pass through when they send out their troops, which is called the Xingshi Sea. It takes eight days to send troops from Wa Island to the Styx Lake, and four of them are in this Star Stone Sea!"

Shi Wuce's eyes lit up, and he looked at You Yong and said, "You mean, you want to block them in the Star Stone Sea?"

You Yong nodded, snorted, and said, "Why are we waiting for them to attack us every time? Why can't we take the initiative to attack him? The sea surface of the Star Stone Sea is very complicated, and the big ships must be very careful when passing by, otherwise they will run aground if they are not careful! This is the reason why the Japanese bird people gave up landing from the East China Sea Thunder City, and instead came to the southerly sea to attack the Styx Lake! The last general can unite with the Mohuan Bow Cavalry to expedition to the Star Stone Sea and trap these Japanese bird thieves at their doorstep!"

Everyone's eyes widened and they were silent for a moment. You Yong's idea is very bold, because there has never been such a precedent! The Central Plains has always claimed to be a great power, and has always disdained to fight with these frontiers, and only when people fight over, will they passively fight back, and this is really the first time that such an expedition is really the first time!

Ruya frowned, shook her head and said to You Yong: "I don't agree! The enemy is coming, we are defending, it is a just battle, the army and the people are united, and all friendly countries will sympathize." However, once the expedition is carried out, and the enemy has not yet moved, I will send troops first, which is inevitably suspected of aggression, and it is not the demeanor of my Central Plains..."

"Aggression?" You Yong is a big old man, he has lived in the military camp all his life, but he doesn't understand the etiquette and benevolence, and he stared at Ruya with big eyes and said: "Then according to your meaning, you must wait for others to hit you before you can fight back?

Ruya frowned, and just wanted to refute, You Yong snorted coldly and said: "Do you know how many of our Central Plains people died at the hands of the Bird Country? Why can we only let others bully and not take the initiative to resist? If people bully you to resist before they resist it, it is called justice, and if you resist without waiting for the bullying, it will be unjust? To hell with it! You have never been on the battlefield, and you don't know the cruelty of war! Like the demeanor you said, keep it for your students and say go! Put you in the wolf pack, you tell them justice, and if you talk about demeanor, they won't eat you? Joke!"

"The bird man is not a wolf!" "Ruya is really cultivated, and he can still hold back his temper and not get angry when he is scolded by You Yong like this.

You Yong gritted his teeth and said: "Of course not! They are beasts! They are worse than wolves, and they are more ferocious than any wild beast! You have never been to the coast, and you don't know what these seaside people are being bullied into, and to put it bluntly, you don't understand the sinister nature of people's hearts at all!"
