The next qiē was all going with the flow, Kong Ming divided the entire mercenary army into eight divisions, of which the first division was the Snow Wolf Demon Jockey, 20,000 people, all equipped with snow wolves, and the division commander was still Lu Hai; the second division was the Snow Wolf Demon Jockey, 20,000 people, all equipped with snow wolves, the division commander was Wei Qian, the third division was also the Snow Wolf Demon Jockey, 20,000 people, the division commander was Li Yao; the fourth division was also the Snow Wolf Demon Jockey, 20,000 people, the division commander was Deng Si, the fifth division was also the Snow Wolf Demon Jockey, 20,000 people, the division commander was Tu Baishui, the seventh division was the magician division, 10,000 people, all equipped with various Warcraft mounts, the division commander was Wen Yue, and the eighth division was the advance division, 20,000 people, the division commander was the chariot, and a special column was set up outside the order, mainly responsible for the logistics of the whole army and the reception of each city, a total of 50,000 people, and Yi Yiyi was in charge. After the reorganization, the whole army will have 150,000 combat troops, plus a special column of 50,000, for a total of 200,000 people. The leaders of the various mercenary armies were also assigned to different places by Kong Ming, and their mercenary army completely let Kong Ming scatter them all, all the magicians were concentrated in the magician division, and some other people with special strengths were transferred to the forward division, and the others were scattered and assigned to each division, and the two divisions formed were composed of most of the people from the original division plus those who joined the new ones, and the old, weak, sick and disabled among the new mercenaries were put into the special column, let them manage the city, or let them withdraw from the combat team in disguise, which can be regarded as a stable explanation for the back road of those mercenary troops. In this way, those who joined the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army did not have too many complaints. And after this rectification, the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army is also unprecedentedly powerful, and there are more than 20 Sages directly in the mercenary army, except for the original five, the remaining fifteen are the family members of each mercenary army. What makes Kong Ming even more happy is that there are two Dharma Saints among them, which can be said to be a earth-shaking change in the attack power of the magician, you must know that one Dharma Saint is equivalent to a modern nuclear weapon with a yield of 2,000 tons, which can be regarded as half the ultimate weapon, with such force, where is there a city wall that cannot be opened? There are also nearly a thousand seventh-level powerhouses of the two kinds, and most of them are the family members of various mercenary armies, of course, it is also because the mercenary army led by Kong Ming has a relatively brilliant record, so that those empires have put some elite seventh-level powerhouses into the snow wolf mercenary army for tempering. And only the strong people who are killed from the war will completely stand at the peak of the entire seventh-level powerhouse, and only these people will really go to the road of the saint-level powerhouse, you must know how difficult it is to become a saint-level person, and there may not be a saint-level powerhouse among the thousands of seventh-level powerhouses. Kong Ming in order to effectively use this thousand seventh-level powerhouses. Except for two-thirds that went into the divisions, the remaining third. That is, three hundred seventh-level powerhouses, plus two thousand sixth-level powerhouses selected by Kong Ming from among the divisions. A guard was formed, led by Lian Ping, who was responsible for protecting the security of the headquarters in peacetime, and in wartime it could be used as the most powerful reserve and put it in the most critical places, only in this way. The effect of more than 2,300 people can really be brought into play, and in order not to let this team have obvious weaknesses, Kong Ming mixed this guard team, that is, mixed personnel of different professions in a reasonable way. Only in this way can the effect of one plus one being greater than two can be brought into play, and if it is not arranged in this way, once it encounters a restrained army, it may be completely annihilated.

Five days later, Liaocheng, Kong Ming Marshal led an army of 100,000 to come here, in order to give full play to the power and mobility of the 200,000 army, Kong Ming organized the entire army into two teams, one was personally led by him, by the fourth, fifth, sixth, plus half of the magician division and half of the advance division, the special column of 40,000 people, a total of 110,000 people, and the other side was commanded by the commander of the second division, which was composed of 10,000 people of the 1st division, 2nd division, 3rd division and 10,000 magicians half, half of the eighth division, and half of the special column. All of the Snow Wolf mercenaries have been turned into cavalry, and there are many spare mounts, according to Kong Ming, for those who are about to join the Snow Wolf mercenaries. And this kind of cavalry also greatly increases the marching speed of the entire snow wolf mercenaries, you must know that although individuals can use magic or fighting spirit to increase their speed as fast as the snow wolf, but it is only a short distance, once the long distance is this way will be infinitely reduced, not to mention that people are still fighting, so cavalry is also the best choice, because the mount itself can be competent for a variety of terrain. On the other hand, due to the growing strength of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, if you blindly tie all the soldiers to your side, it is not only a waste of soldier resources, but also makes an army bloated, so as soon as Kong Ming saw this situation, he divided the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army into two, and then let Wei Qian, the commander of the second division, the most suitable candidate among the other division commanders, be the commander of the other Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, and he wanted to command the two together. If there is a suitable opportunity to have another suitable candidate, then he may not hesitate to be a commander who leads the entire mercenary army, and let other people be responsible for the specific command, of course, this is also a necessary choice due to the growing team, so Kong Ming usually pays great attention to cultivating commanders one by one, not just the soldiers who rush to the front, more often, the commander's ability is the key to determining the victory or defeat of an army.

At this time, another snow wolf mercenary army was led by Wei Qian to attack the nearby Yicheng, while Kong Ming led the rest of the army to attack Liaocheng.

Liaocheng is a typical plain city, almost surrounded by plains, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a horse and a flat river, and Liaocheng is established in such a plain, ten kilometers long and wide, the height of the city wall is thirty meters high, and the magic array on the city wall is also built according to the standard resistance to three eighth-level magic or fighting spirit, in a word, this is a city with a standard defense system. The information in Liaocheng is not known, but in general, an ordinary border city defense army is usually only 30,000 to 50,000, and there may be fewer in other places, because if there are so many soldiers in each city, then the emperor's position will not be stable. Kong Ming couldn't help frowning, because he was really ignorant of this city, not because he didn't send scouts, but because the scouts couldn't find out what was going on. It is said that after the surrender of the famous city, Liaocheng began to only enter but not leave, even if it came out, it was also inspected by tens of millions, and the inside has always been mysterious, and it is difficult to detect the situation inside. However, this is one of the cities leading to Harvey's hinterland, and if you bypass it, the logistics of the mercenary army will be very troublesome in the future, so it must be conquered.

"It's hard to choose!" Kong Ming said.

"What's wrong, Commander?" Tu Baishui asked. This is the first time he has fought with Kong Ming, and he is still not familiar with some of Kong Ming's ideas and practices, so humbly asking for advice is a good way to get close to the two.

"We don't know anything about the situation in the city right now, so it's hard to choose all of a sudden!" said Kongming.

"Commander, there are so many options. Equip me with a magician, and let the four divisions take the lead. I promise. It only takes an hour to blast the walls open!" Duns said on the side, if a string of victories could make people proud, then a string of fewer victories made Duns a little unable to find the north at this time. Kong Ming shook his head, there was something strange about the city, and this was something he generally didn't want to face, because ignorance can not only make people fail. It can also make people fearless, and if one is really fearless, then he will not go far on the battlefield, because sooner or later he will fall into the trap of others.

"Duns. Your division conducted several fire reconnaissance to see how the enemy reacted. Wen Yue sent thirty magicians to conduct fire reconnaissance with them. Kong Ming said.

Fire reconnaissance is a common means on the battlefield, usually used in the case of ignorance of the enemy, if it is the era of hot weapons, it will use artillery fire and gun fire to attack the enemy's position, through the enemy's reaction to judge the enemy's strength and the distribution of weapons. In the era of cold weapons, it is to use a certain number of people to try to attack, and can pass the enemy's reaction to know some basic information of the enemy, such as the nature and number of troops, of course, such reconnaissance must be organized, otherwise once it cannot be controlled, it is easy to fall into the enemy's calculations, resulting in a kind of oil-licking tactics, so that one's own side of the people continue to consume, but if a fire reconnaissance is done well, not only can you know the enemy's arrangement, but sometimes you can also turn reconnaissance into a real attack, so as to win the battle。

At this time, Kong Ming did not know that his caution not only saved them from the enemy's calculations, but also saved the entire mercenary army, because at this time there were not the usual 30,000 to 50,000 troops in the city, but a whole army of 100,000, and it was Alexander Kruid, who had drunk with Kong Ming, who was in command. In order to prevent the mercenaries from noticing the deployment of the Harvey Army, Alexander Kruid came directly from the magic teleportation array in the city, and was accompanied by his personal guards and trusted subordinates. After they came, they continued to mobilize soldiers from the rear city, and even sent a thousand-strong team of great sword masters from the teleportation array at a high cost as the elite force of this battle. The soldiers who had been transferred from other nearby cities had only entered after twelve o'clock in the evening through the gates facing away from the mercenaries, and they had sealed off all of them so that the mercenaries would not be the first to hear from them. It can be said that up to now, Alexander has been successful, because of their secrecy, not a single mercenary army has received this news, and those who have been transferred from various cities have also done so carefully under various pretexts, and their caution has been concealed from all the mercenaries. This is the essence and advantage of the empire, as long as they want, they can let a team that can change the direction of the war appear on the battlefield in one day at any cost, let the most advantageous generals in the empire appear where he is needed, and even, they can let a lot of troops appear in the far rear, which the mercenary army does not have and does not have.

The temptation was ongoing, Deng Si let a regiment of troops take the thirty magicians to walk forward slowly, and Kong Ming's side was constantly observing the dynamics of the entire Liao City, but Kong Ming was really disappointed, because Liao City was constantly opening the magic array, so Kong Ming didn't see anything, all of them were in the clouds. Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, there was still no reaction in Liaocheng, and at this time, Kong Ming was still constantly observing. A hundred meters, the demon cavalry stopped, and then it was the time of thirty magicians, who kept putting magic scrolls to attack the Harvey soldiers on the city wall, but the existence of the magic array made this qiē meaningless. The Harveys only defended, not attacked.

"General, why don't you attack those mercenaries?" asked a general standing next to Alexander.

"Our goal is the entire army of snow wolf mercenaries, not the poor few people in front, you have to be patient to get the big fish, you know?" Alexander said.

"Yes!"

"Did everyone else follow the plan?" Alexander asked.

"It's all in place, most of the soldiers are hiding in civilian houses, and ours are being inspected one by one to make sure that nothing goes wrong. ”

"That's good, if they come in. I don't think they should leave, according to the plan, when their offensive is a little bigger, they will turn off the magic array. ”

"Yes!"

"I've done everything I need to do, and I don't know why I always feel like there's something that's not in place. How?" said Alexander to himself.

After several rounds of attacks, the mage finally broke through the enemy's defenses. The magic array flashed away in the eyes of all the soldiers. The rest of the magic knocked down the walls. After seeing the walls fall. Duns was about to order the mercenary group to attack the city directly, but suddenly found that Kong Ming's order had been sent, causing the entire demon cavalry group to retreat at full speed. Although there were ten thousand reluctances in his heart, out of trust in Kong Ming, he still let the demon cavalry group retreat almost as if they were fleeing for their lives.

The Demon Cavalry Regiment was overwhelmed by this move, and the Snow Wolf mercenaries thought that they had discovered a powerful enemy army, and immediately all of them, including those new mercenaries. Their nerves tensed, and they looked straight in the direction of the city to see what was going on, but they soon discovered that the Harveys really didn't react at all. There were no Harvey soldiers rushing out, and there were no Harvey soldiers standing on the top of the city, and every Qiē looked very mysterious. On Harvey's side, many soldiers almost rushed out when the mercenaries retreated, but because there was no order from above, they also stopped thinking about coming out. After seeing that no one came out, the Demon Rider Regiment also slowed down all of a sudden. Slowly stopped between the mercenary army and the city, and then turned to look at Liaocheng.

At the moment when the magic array broke, Kong Ming saw an empty city, no one walked around on the street, all the doors were closed, and it was very clean, as if no one had ever lived in it, but above the city, Kong Ming faintly felt a murderous aura, this is the murderous aura of the army, nothing else can replace this kind of thing, and the magic array cannot completely imitate this thing, especially for a veteran like Kong Ming, this is even more impossible to cover. Alexander's plan was very good, that is, to set up a suspicious formation for the mercenary army, so that the 100,000 army would hide in civilian houses, and all the people would live in it, and it would look like there was nothing on the outside, this was an empty city. But he apparently forgot some basic common sense, that is, no matter how good the hidden places are, there are always things that cannot be perfected. The army itself is a killing weapon, and where there is an army, there will be some murderous aura, and animals are very sensitive to this, if this is an empty city, then you can see a lot of small animals swimming around the street, but obviously not now; if this is an empty city, then the whole city will look desolate, lifeless, but now although it is not alive, but it is not desolate, there are many aspects that make Kong Ming feel very strange. When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Kong Ming looked at Liaocheng quietly, and then ordered Deng Si's regiment to come back and send another regiment over, still to carry out a tentative attack, and Kong Ming directly stipulated that he must reach the line just now, and then use face killing magic to bombard Liaocheng again, and then withdraw. This is the wolf's tactic, before a target is completely determined, constantly use the target's mind, test it, until it can test the enemy's bottom line or the enemy's true strength, and before that, it is constantly tempting, testing and testing.

The regiment returned to the mercenary array, and they really had some opinions on this matter, and they were obviously close to attacking the city, but they were pulled back, and they felt very uncomfortable. When the other regiment received the order, it moved forward slowly, like the previous one, with thirty magicians following them. As they approached, they suddenly accelerated, and the equipped magicians followed them. A beautiful arc of this group swept through the deeper part of the line just now, and the magic cast by dozens of magic scroll masters fell directly to the deeper place, and in an instant it was a sea of fire, and the sea of fire began to burn towards the city. At this time, the commanders on both sides are looking at the place where the fire is burning, and the mystery of Yiqiē will be revealed soon. (To be continued......)
