When the vanguard of the black wolf Jebe went straight to Rongyang with murderous spirits, the Beihai army stationed in Rongyang City was already heavily guarded and ready for battle. Under the deliberate propaganda of the Black Eagle Legion, the news of the loss of Liucheng in one day caused a stir in Beihai. At this time, the surroundings of Rongyang City were empty, and the entire city stood alone on the border land of Beihai County. Except for the 90,000 soldiers who defended the city, there were no living creatures in Rongyang City.

Rongyang Taishou Gao Xiang looked at the distant land with a solemn expression. Faintly, his ears could hear the slow, heavy pace of the enemy's heavy cavalry, each step as if it were stepping on his internal organs.

Rongyang, since ancient times, has been the place of the four wars, the place where soldiers must fight, and it is also an important base for the enemy to attack the three counties of Beihai. Due to the harsh winter in Beihai, throughout the ages, if you want to slowly plan against the Beihai Kingdom, Rongyang City is a logistics base that must be taken. Therefore, the walls of Rongyang City were built exceptionally tall and strong with the efforts of the kings of Beihai in the past dynasties.

In order to weaken the first wave of attacks of the Chengtian Empire as much as possible, Chen Sheng, the Iron Sword Ice King, deployed three armies of troops in Rongyang City, and replenished these armies with food and grass for a full month, which shows the Iron Sword Ice King's confidence in the defense of Rongyang City. Although the three armies guarding Rongyang City are not the elite of the Northern Naval Regiment, they are also real regular troops, all composed of veterans, unlike those new armies that have just been formed.

However, for the ironclad Rongyang, the black wolf seemed to have other intentions and had no interest in it.

At about dark, the vanguard of the Holy Cavalry Regiment surrounded the west, south, and north directions of Rongyang, and left the east gate alone. Gao Xiang didn't look much surprised when he saw this. Siege teachers must be que, and this has been the case since ancient times. However, Gao Xiang had already received the order to defend Rongyang. Located at the forefront of the battle line, Rongyang's geographical location itself determined the outcome of him and his 90,000 soldiers. As long as they start fighting, they will inevitably have no way out, and the lack of a war horse in the city is the best explanation.

"His grandmother's, you just leave two doors for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu won't run. We're just two legs, how can we outrun your four legs!" Gao Xiang scolded contemptuously as he looked at the heavily armored paladier regiment under the city. Indeed, if they run out, Rongyang's defenders will actually have no way to survive.

"Tell the brothers, give me some spirit, and don't let the rabbit cubs secretly climb the city wall. If the hell dares to let a rabbit cub come up, Lao Tzu will tear his eggs and feed Wang Ba!" Gao Xiang saw that many soldiers were low, so he took the opportunity to laugh and scold.

Sure enough, when Gao Xiang finished saying this, the suppressed emotions of the soldiers were suddenly released, and many soldiers also whistled at the Chengtian cavalry not far from the city, and some even stood on the city wall, openly took out their own things, and put water on the opposite side, which made the holy cavalry of the Chengtian Empire suddenly annoyed and angry, and they all shot back with bows and arrows.

"Hehe, it's kind of interesting. Generals, let's go in for a meeting. Jebel, who was dressed in a black wolf battle armor, looked at the provocative Beihai soldiers on the head of Rongyang City in the distance, and his face showed a relaxed expression, not caring at all.

When the pioneers of the Holy Cavalry Regiment set up large camps outside Rongyang City one after another, in addition to the east, the military camps that stretched for dozens of miles surrounded the remaining three sides of Rongyang City. The 500,000 infantry and 1 million paladiers of the Black Bear Legion entered the temporary barracks in an orderly manner and began to rest and be on guard.

In the center of the camp in the west of Rongyang City, a huge black tent was brightly lit at this time. Dozens of generals gathered in the big tent and watched as their most revered black wolf analyzed the current war situation for them.

"The generals of the Holy Cavalry Regiment, and the General Andak of the Black Bear Legion. Today, at the behest of the Celestial Wolf God, our mid-lane army will attack Beihai to avenge the first emperor. The reason why we have summoned you tonight is because the battle of our Central Route Army will directly affect the victory or defeat of the entire battlefield. To tell you the truth, before the war, almost all the imperial generals thought that our army would easily break through the North Sea and attack the Great Snow Mountain. But I want to make it clear that this is a very stupid and dangerous thing to do. Not to mention the far away, Mulan was punished thirty years ago, but anyone who is a veteran in the army should know about it, such as the old marshal Dadali who happened to have experienced that incident himself. In addition, more than 100 years ago, millions of Song troops were swallowed up by the wooden gate trap at Tsim Sha Pass in one day and one night, which is absurd but true. Speaking of which, you may be able to understand why the order of sorties of our mid-lane army is the latest. With that, Jebe's gaze turned to Andak, the leader of the Black Bear Legion.

Seeing that Tebetsu was looking at him, Andak stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we complained to Your Majesty before, why we, as the main force, did not attack first. Now it seems that His Majesty's move is also a last resort. If we don't contain the Mulan Legion and the Menglan Legion first, it is very likely that the Beihai Army will be combined and increase the difficulty of our army's frontal attack. ”

"Hmm. Jebe nodded and continued to speak: "Actually, the purpose of involving the Mulan Legion and the Menglan Legion is just as General Andak said, which is to avoid the Beihai army from uniting. If all the Beihai troops are concentrated on the Beihai County battlefield, even if our army's strength is far superior to the enemy's, the excessively large number of troops will not be able to exert itself in this narrow battlefield at all, and it will not be able to give full play to the full combat power of our army. Therefore, His Majesty deliberately asked my mid-lane army to attack at the latest, and took the lead in launching a pincer offensive on both flanks, firmly holding the two armies of Mulan and Menglan in place. Therefore, the real main battlefield of the Beihai War is this Beihai County, which is also the decisive place of the Chengtian Beihai. Taking Beihai County, our army can directly attack Tianbao Mountain, and then destroy the wooden gate of the world's first major sect. Speaking of the wooden door, Jebel also deliberately accentuated his tone.

Hearing this, the Chengtian generals present said yes one after another. It is true that the North Sea Kingdom is not too strong, but the wooden gate behind it is too fearful. If it weren't for the fact that the head of the wooden gate was seriously injured and unconscious, even Jebel would have strongly opposed the sending of troops to Beihai. Thinking of the millions of Song army souls in the Mumen Formation in Tsim Sha Pass, there was not a single general of the Chengtian Empire who did not frown.

"Having said all this, next, it is time to talk about the next actions of our army. Today, our vanguard troops did not encounter resistance from the Northern Navy, and easily arrived outside Rongyang City. But you must know in your hearts that this Rongyang is not comparable to Liucheng and Suizhou. Rongyang City has a long history, and it is a place of four wars since ancient times, so its city wall is particularly tall, and the city bricks are very deep. Moreover, the general also heard that Chen Sheng had stockpiled enough grain and grass for several months of battle in Rongyang, and with the deployment of his 90,000 troops, I think this is not groundless. If we directly attack the city tomorrow and cannot conquer it within three days, our army will inevitably enter a long war of attrition, and the attention of our six million troops will be firmly absorbed under Rongyang City. If this is the case, not only will the strength and sharpness of our middle route army be exhausted, but one of our two wings will be decisively counterattacked by the main force of the Snow Wolf cavalry of the Beihai army, thus making the strategy of the empire to destroy Beihai within three months impossible to realize. ”
