Ling Xiaotian's arrival made the morale of the soldiers rise to the extreme, in fact, before he came back, many people were doubting the legitimacy of this army, as soon as he returned, this idea was completely thrown out of these people's minds. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After nearly three months of training, the first batch of 3,000 soldiers recruited has begun to show their combat effectiveness, and the second batch is not bad, except for the third group, which is not very suitable for the battlefield, most of the soldiers are ready.

Ling Xiaotian directly ordered the team to start pulling out in the direction of the battle between the two sides, and the speed was moderate.

Maybe it was the matter in front of him that Ling Xiaotian was more interested in, he didn't mention the matter of infiltrating the Holy Martial Sect again, he didn't say anything about the old immortal, and naturally he wouldn't say it.

After a week's march, the team finally arrived at the outskirts of a city where a fierce battle was taking place, a distance of about thirty miles from the battlefield, Ling Xiaotian ordered the team to camp on the spot and wait for the opportunity.

Thirty miles away the city is called Wesley City, the defenders have a total of 35,000, they face more than 100,000 enemy troops, from the first siege to now, it has been three weeks, during which the defenders have suffered tens of thousands of casualties, the enemy's casualties are more than 20,000, and now they are in a stalemate.

The time of the Nanlu Empire did not disappoint the people, at least until now, the enemy has to pay a huge price for breaking every city, but this is just the beginning of the war, once the several cities related to the livelihood of the imperial people are occupied, the situation of the war will change a lot, the enemy is pointing at those cities, and now what they need to do is to clear some small obstacles before.

It was these small obstacles that slowed them down, giving the Southern Lu Empire precious time to prepare, not enough to face the siege of the two empires, and no one could say how long they could hold out.

"Boss, I don't have self-confidence" Jiang Yicheng learned that Ling Xiaotian was now a level sixty fighter, and said in surprise: "More than three months ago, you were only level fifty, and in just over a few days, you will be level sixty, at this rate, you will be level ninety in the second half of next year, and we will be a fart."

Ling Xiaotian took out two large bottles of elixir and said with a smile: "Don't we have a shortcut, this is for the two of you, it is enough for you to upgrade to more than ten levels, don't let me down, my brother Ling Xiaotian has no bears, all heroes"

"Hehe, it's about the same" Jiang Yicheng hurriedly hugged the bottle of pill that belonged to him, and said with a smile: "I know that the boss won't ignore us, I said the third child, we have to work hard, otherwise the distance between us and the boss will become farther and farther, and we will be embarrassed to say that it is Ling Xiaotian's brother, the gap is really too big."

Ling Xiaotian heard the shouting in the distance and said, "You two stay here, I'll go explore the way and see if there's a chance."

……

Where Ling Xiaotian used to recruit troops, Zi Yan arrived here, but unfortunately Ling Xiaotian and they had already left here, Zi Yan judged that the so-called Xiao Tian was Ling Xiaotian, so she came all the way, but she didn't expect to pounce.

"Fellow, where did Marquis Xiao Tian go?" Zi Yan asked an old man.

The old man shook his head and said, "They left in a hurry, as if they had some important military mission, as for where they went and what they were doing, I don't know."

"That's it," Zi Yan was a little disappointed.

"But they must have gone to war" said with a smile: "On that day, the soldiers shouted together for a long time to 'defend the country', and the next day they disappeared, and it is very likely that they went to war."

"Thank you"

……

Under the cover of the trebuchet, the enemy quickly approached the city wall, the moat around the city wall had already been filled, and now it could not play any protective role, the enemy rushed forward with his shield, although people kept falling from arrows, but it did not affect the speed of others at all.

The siege equipment had already been set up on the city wall, and the enemy swarmed and climbed up desperately, and a melee immediately began on the city wall, but fortunately, the defenders had already prepared and had the advantage in the melee.

The enemy general looked at the city wall in the melee worriedly, turned back and said: "After so many attacks, no one can rush to the city gate tower, it will be difficult for us to win without taking the city gate tower, do you have a good strategy?"

The chief of staff said: "After these days of fighting, I can see that the patience of this group of defenders is not generally good, I think we can use the method of two-sided attack, frontal onslaught, but as a feint, before that, send a legion, unknowingly touch the back of the city gate, carry out a surprise attack, we have attacked so many times, all of them are the north gate, their forces are also concentrated here, the east gate and the west gate are adjacent to the north gate, relatively speaking, the number of defenders arranged is more, At most, there are a few hundred people stationed at the south gate, after we are attacked on both sides, if they divide their troops to guard the south gate, the defense of the north gate will decrease, if they don't divide the troops, the south gate will be dangerous, and when the time comes, whether it is the south gate or the north gate, as long as we take one, won't we win?"

"Good idea," the chief general said happily, "such a strategy should have been used a long time ago, why didn't you say it earlier, chief of staff?"

The chief of staff said with a smile: "Because the time was not ripe before, if it was used early, it would not work in the future, and today's attack should be like the past, so that they can't see the slightest flaw and be ready for tomorrow's victory."

"No problem, tell the soldiers to continue the attack"

……

Ling Xiaotian returned satisfied, in order to get useful information, he asked the old immortal to sneak close to the enemy's commander, but unfortunately overheard his conversation with the chief of staff, since he knew about their conspiracy, he would definitely not let them succeed.

"Jiang Yicheng and Liu Tiancheng listen to the order" The first thing Ling Xiaotian did when he returned to the camp was to give an order to the two of them: "The troops will distribute two meals of dry food, and after nightfall, they will set off and go to the valley twenty miles away to ambush, everyone must not make a sound, and they are not allowed to act without my order, and those who violate the military law will be dealt with."

"Yes, Legion Commander" Jiang Yicheng and Liu Tiancheng said in unison, they didn't ask anything, but immediately went to arrange the matter.

Since there was no rush to march when he came, he walked straight for a hundred and ten miles every day, so Ling Xiaotian's team was not a tired army, after everyone finished dinner, when it was completely dark, they marched towards the predetermined goal, and the people picked up the bells with their horses, and there was no sound when they marched.

For three hours, everyone was in ambush, just waiting for the enemy to appear. This is a valley, the mountain walls on both sides are not high, but it is enough for ambush, Ling Xiaotian arranged the archers on both sides of the mountain wall, the cavalry and infantry were scattered at the entrances and exits, and he took Jiang Yicheng and Liu Tiancheng at the highest point, ready to give orders at any time.

Ling Xiaotian's biggest concern was that the soldiers were accidentally exposed, so far no such thing had happened, mercenaries were not easy to manage This is a well-known thing, because this is the first battle, everyone is more excited, many people have realized what responsibility is for the first time, no one speaks, and even breathing lightly.

"Boss, what are we doing here?" Liu Tiancheng asked in a low voice: "Military operation or normal training?"

"Military operation" Ling Xiaotian said in a deep voice: "I calculate that the legion responsible for the sneak attack will pass through this road, and when they enter the valley and enter the ambush circle, they will shoot those bastards with hatred, and the cavalry and infantry in front and behind will take advantage of the situation to kill them, cut off their way to sneak in and retreat, and will inevitably annihilate this isolated enemy."

Liu Tiancheng and Jiang Yicheng's first reaction was to rub their hands, and they could see that they couldn't wait

In the early hours of the morning, a regiment of more than 10,000 people quietly left the camp and rushed towards this side.
