Chapter 157: Emptying Xidu County
Xidu County is one of the four crossings of Nanhe County, and as one of the four border counties, Xidu County is even inferior to Dongdu County, which borders Yannan County.
The appearance of the human race brought a turning point to Xidu County, no, just after the end of the harsh winter, a large number of materials began to be transported to Xidu County, and the entire Xidu County immediately became lively.
Being valued represents an opportunity for development, as for the human race or something, who cares, under the family army, there is only the life of being exterminated.
This was Kafei's earlier idea, but at this time, this idea has long been thrown into a corner.
The family's army has not yet arrived, and the army of the human race first surrounded Xidu City.
At this time, the north gate of Xidu City, five thousand Xuanwu heavy steps lined up a hundred steps away from the city gate, like a steel city wall, five thousand Vermilion Bird archers, a round of arrows into the city, hit the head of the defenders of Xidu City did not dare to show.
The east gate, the west gate, and the south gate were each garrisoned by five thousand knights.
Kafei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and twice sent troops to try to break out and deliver messages to his family, but as a result, thousands of clansmen were lost and thousands of clansmen were captured.
The most difficult thing is that these people are besieged but not attacked, and they don't know what to calculate.
What Ka Fei didn't know was that when Zhang He led his troops to besiege Xidu City, Pan Zhang and Zhu Ran each led 5,000 Qilin spearmen and 10,000 Green Goblin soldiers, but they were frantically attacking the cities of Xidu County.
"Hurry, hurry! Hurry up the action! ”
In a viscount city in Xidu County, Arthur commanded five thousand Green Goblin soldiers to be busy.
Batches of Green Goblin captives were escorted out of the city, and the spoils of war in the city were piled up.
Because the soldiers attacked in two directions, this was the fourth city to be captured in three days.
Half of the viscount territory in Xidu County was captured, and more than 50,000 prisoners were collected.
Arthur was about to laugh crazy, but unfortunately, it took more than two days to go back and forth from Xidu County to Qiuhe County.
Zhang He, the general of the expedition to the east, has just received news that the main army of the Arthur family has arrived in Dongdu County.
If it is fast, it will take five days, and if it is slow, it will enter Xidu County.
There was really not much time left for Arthur, but fortunately, when he returned to Qiuhe County on his last trip, Arthur had already asked Yachang and Yaer, who were left behind, to recruit 10,000 young men, just to go back this time and set off with the army immediately.
The strength of the Terran has once again refreshed Arthur's cognition, the 70,000 army, the soldiers are all epic soldiers who can compete with the warrior rank, and those Terran generals are also stronger than the other.
Arthur even felt that he might not even be able to defeat those generals who led 500 troops.
When the Terran lord took out an epic silver-level transcendent crystal nucleus and rewarded him, Arthur had already surrendered in his heart, and he knew that only by following these Terrans could he Arthur have a bright future!
Six days later, the main force of the Lance family finally entered the boundary of Xidu County, counting the 50,000 troops drawn from all over Nanhe County, for a total of 150,000 troops.
Led by the third elder Caron, the fifth elder Carman, the Marquis of Carmon in Nanhe County, the head of the family knights Thomas, and the deputy head of the group, Cayun and Northam.
One Title Rank, five Gold Ranks, more than 50 Silver Ranks, more than 200 Transcendent Ranks, and 15,000 Knight Ranks.
The military system of the Eastern Wilderness, the transcendent rank leads the knight rank, the earth knight rank, and the big knight rank leads the ordinary soldiers, which are led by the main general.
"This Kafei, there are no rules for a good student, I waited for the army to come, and I didn't send anyone to greet him!" Kaman snorted coldly, as an elder of the family, he was idle on weekdays, so he paid special attention to the etiquette of respect and humility.
"Fifth Elder, something may be wrong." As the host of Nanhe County, Kamon naturally wants to be towards his own people.
Although Ka Fei will not come to the incident, which is also the reason why he is very poor, but Kamon has already sent someone to specially instruct Ka Fei earlier, so that he must be more grand in his reception.
Now there is not a single ghost, as long as Kafei is not a brain problem, then there are only two possibilities.
Either there is an accident in Xidu County, or Kafei rebels.
"Hmph, the army is moving at full speed, I want to see if something is wrong!" Karman immediately ordered.
In an hour, the army came to the shallow city, but the strange thing was that the gate of the shallow city was wide open, and it seemed to be an empty city.
"Kayun, take a team of knights into the city to investigate." With a gesture of his hand, Cuarón ordered the army to stop.
This time the supreme commander of the army was Cuarón.
"Why be so cautious, if you want me to say, don't waste time, just go directly to the army to open Xidu City." Carman was a little unhappy that Caron was so cautious.
Originally, the supreme commander of the army this time was Kaman, but after a meeting with the Dausers, the patriarch inserted Caron in and took the place that should have belonged to Kaman.
"Kaman, this is war, put away your thoughts, don't play with the lives of your people!" Caron frowned and scolded Kaman.
As the youngest of the five elders of the Lance family, Kaman has been favored by the old patriarch since he was a child, and his talent is not bad, so he has a chance to succeed to the position of patriarch.
But a talented sixth child collapsed, Kaman's favor did not decrease, but the sixth child got more favor, and inherited the position of patriarch ten years ago, so far Karman's temper has changed greatly.
"Caron! Am I the deputy commander of the army? How? I don't even have the right to have an opinion? When Carman saw that Caron was on his line, he was immediately angry.
The whole family, except for Cassel and Karn, he Kaman has not served anyone, the eldest brother is like a father, Kassel is in charge of the family's internal affairs, Kaman has to serve, Karn, the sixth brother, is to beat him to the service, but Karon, an old man who manages the family's logistics, is also qualified to teach himself?
Although Caron was the third elder, he had the lowest status among the five elders, and was even inferior to the fourth elder Kaphon, who was in charge of the family's business.
"Thomas!" Caron shouted.
"Third Elder!" Thomas stepped in.
"The five elders contradict the supreme commander, what punishment should they receive!" Caron didn't see any change on his face, just stared at Carman and asked Thomas.
"Damn it." Carman cursed, looked at Thomas viciously, and without waiting for him to speak, he retreated into the army without looking back.
"Third Elder, this ......" Thomas was speechless for a while, the conflict between the brothers of the Lance family, Thomas did not want to get involved in it at all.
This group of old things, none of them are easy to get along with, the Lance family can develop to today's scale, and the generation of the five elders has made great contributions.
Caron nodded at Thomas and said nothing.
Moments later, Cayun returned from the city of Shoal.
"Third uncle, something is wrong, Shoal City has become an empty city, there is not a single lord in the city, and even the warehouse of the lord's mansion has been emptied." When Kayun returned, he immediately reported to Caron in a hurry.
"Scatter the scouts to me at once, and if there is any disturbance, report it immediately, and the army will bypass the city of Shoals and march to the city of West! Ladies and gentlemen! The war has begun! Cuarón squinted his eyes and said coldly.
He didn't expect that the human race of Shanhe County would be so bold and dare to take the first step against Xidu County, and the speed was so fast, he only hoped that Xidu City could hold on.
At this time, Xidu City was successfully taken by Zhang He two days ago, and a deputy commander of Xidu City, led 5,000 Green Demon soldiers to open the city gate at night and surrender to Zhang He.
Zhang He led his troops into Xidu City overnight, killing Ka Fei and three Green Goblin Chao Extraordinary, hundreds of Green Goblin knights, and more than 5,000 Green Goblin soldiers.
More than 50,000 Green Goblins were captured, including six Green Goblins, more than 2,000 Green Goblin knights, and more than 12,000 Green Goblin soldiers.
Due to the excessive number of prisoners and supplies in Xidu City, the city was not emptied for two days.
In the lord's mansion, news came from Shi Qian that the main force of the Lance family had arrived in Shoal City, and the generals would soon come to the west to cross the city.
After getting the news, Zhang He immediately summoned the generals, and in the meeting hall, Zhang He took the lead in analyzing the military situation.
"The enemy's supplies were all captured by our army, although the supplies they carried were not enough to support long-term operations."
"But because of our army's plundering of materials, the other party will be underestimated, and it is likely that they will choose to temporarily build siege equipment and storm our army."
"As long as our army blocks its offensive and lets the enemy know that nothing can be done, they can only choose to retreat."
"Junyi, I am waiting for this battle, the purpose is to cripple this Green Goblin army as much as possible, just let it retreat, and it will not come back after all." Yan Liang said with some doubts.
"General Yan Liang, isn't it a good time for the enemy to retreat." Xu Shu was only temporarily sent by Lin Yi to help in the war, and all decisions were led by Zhang He.
However, Zhang He's intentions, Xu Shu has already understood, to take the enemy's capital and limit the enemy's changes.
Snatch the enemy's resources to strengthen itself, and at the same time make the enemy lose the ability to be flexible, between attack and retreat, there is no time to delay, limit the time of his attack, and lock the opportunity for his retreat.
As long as you choose to attack, then sorry, you can only capture the target for a certain period of time, otherwise you can only choose to retreat.
The retreat of hundreds of thousands of troops is not a joke, it is like a bomb, it will explode at one point, especially in the extreme situation of lack of food, once the enemy commander moves the idea of holding on for a while, the bombing of the camp is only in the morning and night.
"Junyi, you are the main general, just tell me and wait, how to fight!" Yan Liang already understood the meaning of Xu Shu's words, but it was different from Xu Shu's understanding.
The ultimate goal of Zhang He's plan is to expand the results of the battle on the basis of reducing his own battle losses, which is in line with Yan Liang's intentions, so he has nothing to say.
"Good!"
"Yan Liang, Wen Chou, listen to orders!"
"In!"
"In!"
"Yan Liang, let you lead the Qinglong Army and hide on the river beach on the north side of Xidu."
"Wen Chou, let you lead the White Tiger Army, hide in the mountains on the south side of Xidu, and use the beacon fire as the number! The wolf smoke rises, the army goes out of the mountains, the river beaches, and hits the enemy's rear flank, the key to this battle, but it depends on the two! Zhang He said the arrangement for Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
"Command!"
"Command!"
Yan Liang, Wen Chou got the order, and immediately led the troops to get the seven-day food and set off.
"The rest of the generals, hurry up and collect supplies, retreat to Big River City before dark, and burn all the ones you can't take away!" Zhang He saw Yan Liang and Wen Chou leaving, and turned to the generals and said.
"Yes!" The council hall will respond one after another and disperse.
