"Uncle, what do you think of the current battle situation?" Shi Yan asked worriedly, standing in front of the map in the study. "Your Highness, the current situation maintains a delicate balance. Joseph and the Asman Empire must have colluded in the past, but the two forces had different intentions, so they both took a wait-and-see attitude. If these two forces attack the empire at the same time, the situation is dangerous. But this was not at all in the interests of Joseph. It was impossible for him to surrender the fire cloud to the Asmans. Of course, the Assmans will not give him a striker and consume their own forces. Yan Tian said with a smile. "So, we're more relaxed at the moment and have some time to prepare. "Once this situation is broken?" "Whichever side is broken first, it's not a good thing for us." To the north, we had only the First Army Corps, plus the local garrisons, about 350,000 men. I estimate that Joseph's army should have expanded to nearly 800,000. On the southern front, the empire still had 500,000 troops, facing the enemy's nearly 900,000 troops. We are fighting on two fronts, and we cannot concentrate our forces at all, and if the current balance is broken, it will be difficult for us to cope on either side. Yan Tian pointed to the map and analyzed it for Shi Yan. "Of the thirteen provinces of the empire, five have been lost. This war has suffered the people of these five provinces!" Shi Yan's eyes fell on the several provinces that had been lost, and his eyes showed deep sadness. "Your Highness, I have appointed Princess Naya with full authority to command the war on the Southern Front. At the same time, her severed arm operation was approved. The situation on the southern front will definitely change dramatically in the near future. Once her plan succeeds, tensions will grow in the north. I have sent Hughes to march with a group of recruits to the capital of the province of Horamaba, Gili, and I will also march with 300,000 recruits to the province of Iberia, along the line between the capital cities of Raid and Burleigh. It is connected to the city of Gili and forms a second line of defense. "Although Naya is talented, she is a girl after all, and she is too emotional, and her attitude towards Brother Liuyun ...... a few days ago" "Your Highness doesn't need to worry too much, in my eyes, she is a good general, and that's enough." Yan Tian said calmly.

The small town of Rika, a few miles southwest of Sidon. The town of Rika is located on the road from the capital city of Sidon to the city of Patna. It was once a thriving place, but after the arrival of the Asman army, it was reduced to ruins. Stepping on the rubble, Brooke and Langton slowly walked down the streets of the town. "I'm always in a good mood when I walk on enemy soil, am I a war maniac by nature?" said Brooke, as if to himself, as if to ask Langton. "I'm enjoying the feeling of conquest. When I listened to the earth trembling under the iron hooves of the war horses, and looked at the fear and sadness in the eyes of the people. I would feel my blood boiling all over my body. General, maybe we're all the same kind of people. Langton replied with a smile. Her Majesty is waiting for the right moment, but I feel very uncomfortable. As a descendant of the Ith family, it is a shame to lead an army of millions to attack and achieve such a result in three months!" Brooke sighed. "General, one day, you will be able to lead us across enemy land. I believe that day will not be far away. "General Langton. All wars are nothing more than serving politics. What we need to do now is to preserve our strength and worry about some of the Huoyun troops. Consume it, Joseph can't consume us. Besides, Emperor Huoyun and Yan Tian will definitely take him first when they have their hands freed, and for the country, internal troubles are more terrible than external worries. What's more, it's a struggle for imperial power?" Brooke said indifferently. "That's why you besieged Sidon but didn't attack it?" "No, you still have to attack. It's just that I don't want too many casualties. Do you know why I didn't kill people to destroy all the towns around Sidon?" Brooke asked.

Langton shook his head, he had never been able to understand Brooke's order to destroy and not kill. "Look. “

Looking in the direction of Brooke's finger, Langton saw an elderly man sitting on the ruins of a house. looked blankly at his disappeared home. "The house, is a shell of a man, and we knock him down. He will feel hopeless, sad, and helpless. These towns are also the shell of Sidon, and if they are shattered, the city of Sidon will fall into the same feeling. Moreover, I destroyed the town and drove the people to Sidon City, which was also a problem for the Huoyun guards. If he does not accept it, he will lose the support of the people, and if he does, it will cause a great burden to the city. At the same time, the fear of us in the hearts of the people will also spread in the city, and in such a desperate city, there is no need for the Asman children to die in vain. Time, will make it collapse, and what we have is time. "The general is wise. But I don't know if the Huoyun army in the Roman Province will come back to help?" "It's unlikely, it's coming, and it won't be too much." Because they have other plans, they want to fight, and we consume some of their strength. After the war breaks out in the north, His Majesty Lin Mei's real killer weapon will be used. That's when we're on fire!"

Outside a forest in the Daxing Mountain, Liuyun was watching the archery performance of Jing Lingshè hands with great interest. While applauding loudly, Liuyun clearly felt that this group of archers who followed the water was still more skilled than the previous batch.

There was a soft "whoosh", and a bird fell from the sky. A jingling archer ran over, picked up the bird, and walked towards Liuyun and Nidel.

"Check it out to the regimental commander. With a confident smile, Nidel said to the spirit archer.

Liuyun took it, and saw the feather arrow enter from the tail of the bird, and then peek out from the head, piercing the bird entirely. "How's it going, isn't it?" Nedel asked proudly, looking at Liuyun in a daze. "Oh, Xite, you're really into it!" Liuyun was reluctant to believe his eyes. "Hmm. Remember what you promised me, three days of barbecue. Nidel laughed. "Okay, okay, I made a note of it. Cashed out quickly. You can't have learned this technique of popping chrysanthemums from Master Guan, right?" asked Liuyun evilly. "What do you mean?" asked Nidelne, sneering. "This is the elegant name of the upper nobles of the empire for this part!" Liuyun said, pointing to the bird. "Oh, thanks for the compliment, I practiced it myself. Aside from my ability to pretend to be cool, my archery skills are no worse than Ryan's. Pure Nidel, happily added. "Yes, they're all very good at shè, they're all yin talents!" Liuyun muttered indistinctly. Just now when he had nothing to do, he made a bet with Nidel to let him shè the ** of the sky bird. For the next three days, Liuyun was roasted by smoke and fire, and finally paid off his gambling debts. He was extremely depressed, and whenever he met people, he advertised that "Jing Ling's chrysanthemum popping technology is first-class".

Later, as Liuyun's fame grew, this sentence slowly spread on the mainland. A Jing Ling finally figured out the meaning of "bursting chrysanthemums" by chance, which directly led to the joint pursuit of Liuyun by several Jing Ling clan elders.

Through the observation of Jing Lingshè's hands, Liuyun determined that these people were geniuses who were snipers. They have good eyesight, they can accurately hit targets at night, they have a talent for calmness, they are quite accurate in archery in any situation, they have excellent arm strength, and they use the Jing Spirit Clan's strong bow shè Cheng far beyond the human shè hand.

Soon, the dwarven forgers created the first samples according to Liuyun's drawings.

Liuyun happily took the sample and tried it, feeling that the effect was not far from what he imagined. My heart suddenly became much more steady.

"Master, if this thing falls into the hands of the enemy, can others copy it?" Liuyun asked worriedly, looking at Master Rosacea.

"If there had been no considerable progress in the casting process of human beings in the past few hundred years, I think this thing would have been barely made by dwarves!" Rosacea took a sip from the wine glass beside him, and said proudly.

"That's fine. ”

Subsequently, this new equipment soon equipped Antony's cavalry, who began a frenzied training with his men in order to form combat strength as soon as possible.

Although Liuyun felt very uncomfortable when facing the water, it was because of the need to use the two magic masters of the Jing Spirit Clan. He still had to go to see her, and when he walked into the house, Arley was there.

"Alei, what are you doing here?"

"Second brother, I'm learning magic from Sister Shui. ”

After Lao Ka came back, he instigated Ah Lei to entangle the Jing Spirit Clan, the water magic elder, all day long, and Shui still seemed to have a good impression of this girl who was born with pure water and Xing physique, and actually taught her without hesitation. "It's a waste that your sister has such a good physique, and now she is a high-level magician. The water still laughed beside him. "Please, she's called a genius magical girl, Sister Shui!" Liuyun glanced at Shui Yi and groaned in pain in his heart. "The Jing Ling clan are all geniuses who practice magic, and the little sister has to trouble the elders to bother with more guidance!" Seeing that the benefits were not reaped, it was definitely not Liuyun's xingge, and a sycophant was immediately sent up. "Ah Lei is very smart, I will teach her well, you have been said to be good, what is the matter with coming to me?"

Liuyun briefly told her about her plans, and then suggested that she needed the help of the two Magisters.

"Very good, it seems that you understand my words, if this battle is successful, it will definitely make you famous in the mainland. Then I'll lead the two Magisters to help you!" Shui nodded with a smile still on his face.

Liuyun wanted to persuade her to stay, because such a delicate woman was useless in his opinion. But after thinking about it, as an elder of the Jing Ling clan, he should at least be a magister, and then smiled: "Then it's hard elder." ”

"You don't want to be an elder at a time. Don't you know that women are most afraid of getting old? The water still glanced at Liuyun and said angrily.

"You're hundreds of years old...... "Before Liuyun finished speaking, he found that his whole body was frozen.

At night, outside the city of Reese, Nalan was ordered to set off, and Naya personally sent him out of the city.

"General Nalan, the key to the success or failure of this battle is yours. I have handed over to you all the 80,000 cavalry of the two legions. This battle will break one of Assman's arms, and you are the blade of the broken arm. Naya said solemnly.

"Rest assured, princess, Nalan will not come back to see you until the mission is completed. Nalan said resolutely.

"Okay, take care of yourself. Waiting for your good news. “

Under Naya's gaze, Nalan turned on his horse and led 80,000 men out of the city at night.

At this time, Mogo was also leading three thousand men and hurriedly rushed to the province of Paracas. And this army was the "reinforcement" sent to Sidon by the Roman Province. Before the campaign began, the princess decided to send a feint to Sidon, carrying a large number of tents and other marching materials, and after entering the province of Paracas, disguised as an army of tens of thousands to attract the attention of the enemy, in order to relieve the pressure on Sidon City. Although she decided to abandon Sidon, she still had one last glimmer of hope for the city: hoping that they would hold out until the end of the Romance War.

"Damn. 3,000 people as reinforcements, what is the difference between this and sending them to death? Stinky boy, if it weren't for you, how could I have taken this unfortunate errand, if the Sidon garrison found out that my so-called reinforcements were only 3,000 people, they would definitely commit suicide by jumping off the city wall en masse. ”

Naya did not expect that after this army entered Paracas, it disobeyed her orders and started a bloody battle with the Asmans.

At the beginning of October, the Fifth and Sixth Army Corps of the Southern Front of the Fire Cloud Empire began to assemble on a large scale. and quickly moved in the direction of the city of Plisseny. The Roland Fortress also sent some troops to reoccupy the town of Sep.

And the three regiments, at this time, also began to assemble, ready to go to a new battlefield.

"Ling'er, I'm sorry. I'm just back, and I'm leaving again. Liuyun hugged Shui Ling'er in his arms and comforted him gently.

"You, you'll never be at peace. As long as you remember to come back alive every time, I will be satisfied. Shui Ling'er broke free from his embrace, and from head to toe, she helped him tidy up his battle armor.

"Remember to go home early. Liuyun suddenly remembered a scene in her memory: every time before going out, she would help him take care of his clothes, and then send him a kiss and a word of advice. When the lover's white fingers pinch the collar, the man will understand what home is, what warmth and affection are.

Shui Ling'er also tiptoed to leave a gentle kiss on his face at the moment when Liuyun lost his mind. "I'll wait for you to come back. “

As soon as he went out, Liuyun saw the figure of Hua Crimson.

Shui Ling'er stopped, and Liuyun walked towards Hua Scarlet Tears.

"Be careful. If you lose a hair, I'll kill thirty more. Hua Fei looked at him with tears in her eyes and whispered, with tears flashing in her eyes.

"It seems that someone will accompany me to worry about it. After Shui Ling'er's words, Hua Fei's face turned red with tears, and it also made Liuyun run away in a hurry.
