After the establishment of a mercenary regime in Wencheng, the eyes of the whole continent were suddenly attracted by this small thing, and they were paying attention to how this matter would develop, you must know that every change in the shape of the continent is because of the establishment of such a small regime, and then it expands step by step, and then overthrows an empire, and then establishes a new empire. Things always develop like this, if the mercenary army at the beginning was just a group of rogues, then now when Wencheng establishes the mercenary regime, it has the meaning of challenging the Harvey Empire, although it is not qualified to do so now. And when the whole continent is paying attention, it is natural that there are some old forces hidden in the Harvey Empire and oppressed by the Harvey Empire for countless years, they are like a group of rats, hidden in the Harvey Empire, and constantly use some very small means in the eyes of the Harvey Empire to interfere with the daily order of the Harvey Empire, they are the rebels of the Harvey Empire. The establishment of Wencheng gave them a kind of hope, and they also hoped to get a piece of the pie from these battles, but now is not the time, because only two of the six mobile legions of the empire are going to deal with the snow wolf mercenary army, and the other four are still suppressing the Quartet, as long as there is a slight movement, then it will inevitably give those who have different intentions, and the blow of Mount Tai will be overwhelming, which is a devastating blow, so they are waiting for the snow wolf mercenary army and the seventh legion, The outcome of the battle of the Fifth Legion is the only way to truly determine their next plan. However, despite these or those influences, it did not prevent them from making some small actions below to distract the officials of the Harvey Empire. On the banks of the Songjiang River, at this time, Alexander Zhengshuai led the Fifth Army to fight with a mercenary army of nearly one million here, of course, their first task was to annihilate a snow wolf mercenary army here, because everyone knew it. The Snow Wolf Mercenary Army is one of the leaders of these mercenary armies, and if these Snow Wolf Mercenary Armies are eliminated, it will also be a big blow to the Snow Wolf Mercenaries led by Marshal Kong Ming on the other side. However, what annoyed him was that the snow wolf mercenary army here was also very difficult, except for a period of resistance when the Fifth Legion crossed the river, there was no trace of them at other times, or they knew that they were there, but once they attacked. They will run away without a trace, but the other mercenary army has suffered some losses, which has to be attributed to Wei Qian's grasp of the form, you must know that the front of the Fifth Legion is Kong Ming has to avoid, and at that time, although it was ostensibly said to be 200,000 troops. But with the addition of those snow wolves, it can be regarded as an army of more than 300,000. In this case, Kong Ming will take the risk of destroying the First Army. This up-and-coming unit, and not daring to fight the Fifth Army head-on, can know what is at stake. He Wei Qian has not yet reached the point of brushing the tiger's whiskers, so it is reasonable to continue to avoid it, of course, he is not blindly avoiding, he will always inadvertently give Harvey Jun such a look. But it doesn't matter what he does. Those mercenary troops who are close to the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army will suffer, they don't have as much experience as the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army. And after the news of the establishment of a base in Wencheng came, this part of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army was even more happy, and took the Fifth Legion to circle happily on this land. And the only task that Kong Ming gave Wei Qian from the magic communication was to not suffer major damage. Try to delay the Fifth Legion as much as possible, so that it does not divide its forces to fight with the main force of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, and can delay until the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army defeats the Seventh Legion.

In the palace of the Huayuan Empire, the emperor and the Yun family's Yunhaifeng Sword Saint, the prime minister, and the minister of military affairs, after the court meeting, several old friends chatted around a table.

"Lao Yun, your family is really talented, a good talent let you go out directly, throw it into the garbage heap, and almost freeze to death, talent, if it is under the cultivation of our empire since childhood, now it may be the commander of a legion, if he is allowed to command the battle of Chu, we will not bother to talk to Harvey about any judgment. Alas, you see, with a wave of your hand, 300,000 people are gone, and with another wave of your hand, there is no army, and with another wave of your hand, Wencheng has accepted it, and with another wave of your hand, now the nobles of the entire Harvey Empire are having a headache, talent, talent!"

"Yes, Lao Yun, is this grandson of yours married? I have three or four very good granddaughters, you know, those grandsons of yours run to me all day long. How about it? Can you call the shots, let's get married. The Prime Minister laughed. The four of them were originally classmates in the same class, and when the emperor was still the prince, several people were dead friends, and in the process of the emperor's ascension, these people made great efforts. So in private, the relationship between these people is very good, and it has lasted until now, you must know that the emperor of an empire is not the highest decision-maker of an empire, and there are many ancestors who have become gods and saints behind them.

Yun Haifeng, as the only eighth-level powerhouse among these people, hit them very hard, and he really wanted to slap the son who found the prophet, but now he can only keep his head down, since the matter of Kong Ming was exposed, he has not had a few good days.

In the Han Kingdom, in the imperial palace, the emperor didn't care about this matter, because he knew that he had invested a lot of capital, and what he cared about now was when that capital would be recovered. "Hopefully those people will surprise us then. He muttered.

Wencheng, the city lord's mansion.

"The enemy's army of 700,000 has been assembled in Butterfly City, and it may attack at any time, and it is rumored that the emperor of the Harvey Empire has destroyed Zhao Wu several times, if he doesn't act, I don't think I can say it. Che Yi said on the side.

"Have you figured out their specific situation?" Kong Ming asked from the side, after all, this was the point.

"Judging from the information sent to us by several other empires, they are now mainly organized into seven armies, of which the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth armies are the same, all of which are composed of two war horse cavalry divisions and three infantry divisions, each army also has a magician regiment composed of 2,000 magicians, and a logistics support team of 3,000 people. The other 300,000 men were made up of the city defense troops transferred from nearby. With 100,000 men as an army, three deputy commanders from the other five corps were appointed as commanders of these three corps, all of which were infantry with a small number of cavalry. But it's not much, in addition, they also have a magician division directly belonging to the legion, it is said that this time in order to overwhelm us in the number and quality of magicians, they also specially summoned 8,000 magicians from various cities, so the total number of their magicians should be close to 20,000, well, in order not to repeat the history of the last time we were defeated, they also deliberately strengthened the strength of the guards, and it is rumored that they also summoned five hundred seventh-level powerhouses to join them. We don't know exactly when they departed, but I think it was between the days or two. ”

"Everyone has spoken. Look at how to fight this battle, you know, once we win this battle, then we will have a much better life in the future, and we can seize more territory. Once defeated, then we will once again wander towards the pace of wandering. Kong Ming said.

"How about we defend them layer by layer? Wait until the time comes. It is possible to defeat them in one fell swoop. Li Yao said.

"They don't have many cavalry, they don't have strong mobility, if we use the demon cavalry and constantly harass them, I think we can make them tired in ten to eight days, and then they will be doing a fatal blow. I think it's going to be a lot better. ”

"No, if that's the case, once they ignore our attack and directly attack Wencheng. Then what we did before is all over. We have to keep them all out. Yi Yiyi said, this Wencheng has spent more than a month of her hard work, plus countless investments, and there is no harvest yet, if the enemy is allowed to attack in, then the preliminary work is not in vain.

"It's impossible not to let them in, we don't have that much force to keep them out, the key is how we can destroy these invading enemies, and at the same time, minimize our losses. Wen Yue on the side said. Although Yi Yiyi is the deputy commander, it is reasonable to listen to everyone's opinions on this kind of discussion and speaking occasion, and the commander from a certain point of view, is to combine his own plan with the good plan among these plans, and formulate a practical and excellent plan, only in this way can the battle really go according to his own wishes, otherwise, there will always be too many situations that a person thinks about are unexpected, not to mention that there are too many accidents in the battle, even if you anticipate all the possible events, you may not necessarily win the battle, because there are always some unexpected factors that will affect the entire battle situation。 Seeing Wen Yue's opposition to her plan, Yi Yiyi's face showed dissatisfaction, but she didn't say anything else, because this was a normal thing in itself.

"Indeed, if we let them in, then everything we did in the base some time ago will be lost, but if it is an external battle, our forces are not all cavalry, and it is difficult to have an advantage in speed, you must know that our advantage lies in speed, once we lose this, then our attack power will be reduced a lot. Li Yao continued. This is indeed a dilemma.

"If people lose their land, they will survive, and if they lose their land, they will lose their cities. Kong Ming said on the side. Seeing that everyone had seen it, Kong Ming then explained the meaning of this sentence: "As long as the people of our mercenary army are still there, then even if we have temporarily lost territory, we will still fight back, even if we can't fight back, we can always lay down a piece of territory in other places, after all, we had nothing when we first came over, and now that we have people and territory, we are reluctant." This means that people exist and lose their land, and both people and land survive. The second half of the sentence means that if people die, the territory is still there, and the enemy will take away our territory. This is the loss of land and the loss of land and the loss of both land and land. Therefore, we are only discussing how to destroy the invading enemy, and as for the amount of losses, I think we can only make up for them after the war, and not now. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. Yi Yiyi sighed, it seems that the work of more than a month has been done in vain, and she can't help but feel a little lost.

"Hehe, you don't have to be too pessimistic, although we have given up Wencheng, it does not mean that Wencheng will be re-ruled by them, we need to leave many mercenaries, especially the personnel of this city, as the basis for returning in the future, and those who have already shown too much in public must act with the army, because they have been noticed by the enemy. Once the city falls back into the hands of the enemy, then our people may face a round of purges, and many people will not survive without taking them with them. So these jobs must be arranged. Kong Ming said.

"Head, how do we deal with the enemy?" asked Che Yi from the side. When everyone heard this sentence, they also looked at Kong Ming with attention, knowing that the next words were the time to decide the actions of the next period of time.

Kong Ming smiled, and then said: "Don't be too pessimistic, whether they have the strength to fight is one thing, whether they have the ability to fight is another, what we want to do now is not to defend Wencheng, in this case, they will think that Wencheng will not be very important in our minds." Let them see that although we have organized a new regime, we are still that wandering mercenary army, and we will not be confined by a certain city, only that. They will focus their attacks on us and ignore the existence of others. At that time, Wencheng was safe. If we stick to Wencheng. They will use Wencheng as the central point and force us to fight them here, and once this plan is implemented, if we really care about Wencheng, then we will be nailed here, and they can calmly send troops from all over the country. Wipe us out in one fell swoop, and by that time all our people will be dead, and Wencheng will be theirs as well, so I said. We're going to let them in first. ”

"Let them in?"

"Yes, just let them in, the army of 800,000 can't come in a formation, there is always a sequence, and there will be a certain length, and when they move, that's when we have to do it. Kong Ming looked around and said.

"How?" Duns cared most about this kind of thing, so he was the most direct.

"Have you ever seen a weasel fighting a snake?" Kong Ming smiled.

"Weasel fighting snakes?" the others didn't know what Kong Ming was going to say, so they could only follow the tone.

"The weasel and the snake fight is like this. When two animals meet, the snake is the weasel's favorite food, but the snake is a huge poison, and it is also an extremely ferocious animal, which is well known, and the weasel uses a very wonderful tactic when eating snakes, and this tactic makes the weasel win more often than not. Kong Ming said.

"You can just say it, don't fish people's appetites. Duns said reluctantly.

"Hehe, every time it wants to attack the snake, it always faces the snake first, and then, constantly observing the snake's movements, and then always walks back and forth on the left and right of the snake, looking for the snake's weakness, and then it's time to compare endurance between the two. At this time, the attacking side is also the dominant side, and at this time, the weasel is the attacking side, and it must have the advantage, because when it attacks, where to attack, is completely determined by it, not the snake of the defending side, so once the snake shows even a little bit of breakage, the weasel will bite over, and without the slightest hesitation immediately withdraw from the battle, there will be no stop, because it knows that once it attacks too many times, the snake will definitely die because of excessive bleeding. If it bites for a little bit of cheapness, it will immediately entangle the snake, and then it will either be entangled by the snake or poisoned, and even if it can't die, it will be injured for a while, so it will always fight back with one blow. And they have always been this tactic, and the snake has always coped with it this way, so almost every flash is won by the weasel. This is the weasel tactic. Sora is slowly telling this story, this is a story that has been widely circulated, and it is even a kind of common sense, but even this common sense contains a convincing tactic in it.

"So are we now taking the initiative to attack the Harvey Army, only in this way will we gain the initiative?" Li Yao said in passing, and everyone looked at Kong Ming as well, hoping to get an answer.

"Hehe, of course not, the weasel is one against one, and we are a group of people against a group of people, how can it be exactly the same? And once all our forces are dispatched, not to mention whether we can win the battle, the formation alone is a headache for many people. Kong Ming shook his head and smiled.

"Then what now?" Wen Yue asked from the side.

"We are now divided into three parts, one is composed of the first and third divisions of the land and sea division, and a part of the magician division, a total of 50,000 people, as a column; The fifth division and a part of the magician division formed the second column, which was also 50,000 people, and the remaining 400,000 people were led by me, and I divided them into four armies, with 100,000 people led by Li Yao as the first army, 100,000 people led by Tengqing Longshuai as the second army, 100,000 people as the third army, and 100,000 people led by the commander of the wooden soldiers as the fourth army. "Everyone is not surprised, in fact, since Kong Ming divided the entire mercenary army into this way half a month ago, and appointed a temporary commander, now it is just an announcement to settle the whole thing, Mu Bing is a deputy of Lu Hai, there has been no shortage of wisdom and courage in the battle, and now it is just to let him lead an army alone.

"Now our snow wolf mercenary army should be like a weasel, the first and second columns are the two claws of the weasel, your task is to constantly look for opportunities to attack the Harvey army, remember that after you left here, you will rely on your own judgment, don't fall in love, don't be reluctant, as long as you have the opportunity, you have to bite them, if you don't have a chance, you will keep harassing them on the side, so that they will not rest for a moment. And our other 400,000 troops are in the vicinity of Wencheng as if they are ready to fight at any time, and let them keep coming to our side. In order not to let the enemy rush and collapse, we must constantly train in battle formations, and pay attention to the cooperation between each other. Once the enemy has engaged our 400,000-strong army, the two columns must give them a bite on one side or behind the enemy's rear, so that they do not dare to devote all their forces to this battle. In terms of logistics, the deputy commander has to pay a little more attention, this battle is an unprecedented battle, if we win, it will prove that we can fully establish ourselves here, if we lose, then we may wander again. Kong Ming's voice was thick and heavy, after all, this was a battle of millions of people on both sides combined, and this was also the first frontal defensive battle commanded by Kong Ming, whether he lost or won, this must be a bloody place.

On the same day, the two columns set off directly, their task was very heavy, and Kong Ming took the remaining army commanders and division commanders to use this time to continuously strengthen the command and coordination of the whole army, these are the key to victory in the battle, by Kong Ming has a little bit of sloppiness, and because the mercenary army expanded too quickly, so that many division commanders are the previous regiment commanders, and have not gone through too many battles, whether they can command is still a big problem, and among the soldiers, most of them are composed of nearby civilians and those who surrendered to the city defense army, there are too many people who do not know each other, and all of them are the weaknesses of the mercenary army, Now Kong Ming suddenly has a lot of worries about the rapid expansion of the mercenary army. This is a big battle that will test the mercenary army. And this qiē allowed the mercenary army to prepare for too short a time.

"What's the matter, since the two columns left, you have always looked sad, as if something happened!" Yi Yiyi looked at Kong Mingdao from the side.

"Can you not worry, I am not a saint, even if I become a saint in the future, I will not be a little less sorrowful, there is no way, it is all a tired life!" Kong Ming sighed.

"Don't worry, they are all veterans who have fought many battles, and what else will stump them is really worrying in vain. Yi Yiyi glanced at Kong Ming, but Kong Ming's eyes were looking at the gloomy sky. This kind of look at the beauty is ignored, which makes Yiyi feel like she has punched cotton.

"Look at the sky and it's starting to snow!" Kong Ming said softly. (To be continued......)
