At midnight, the 300,000 people of the Snow Wolf Wolf Mercenary Army quietly left Wencheng and ran in their respective directions under the pretext of going out of the city to build a formation. The actions of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army did not avoid the observation of those who cared about it this night, but they just didn't know what the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army was doing, but these were enough for Kong Ming, because he only needed a certain time difference, and the distance of more than two hundred kilometers plus a certain curvature and slope coefficient could increase it to a distance of nearly three hundred kilometers. It would take three or four days of marching to get there, and the 100,000-strong army was infantry, not cavalry.

The news that the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army had an army leaving Wencheng spread out of Wencheng in the first time, and the Harvey Empire also sent this information to the corps headquarters of the Harvey Seventh Legion in the first time, but this text was not seen by Zhao Wu in the first time, because Zhao Wu himself had a habit that he was not allowed to be disturbed when he was sleeping, unless the sky fell or the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army hit his tent, otherwise, if anyone woke him up, then that person would definitely be punished, which is well known in Harvey's Seventh Legion, but unfortunately Kong Ming did not know about it, otherwise, he will definitely not do so many things, the character of an army commander, most of the time is also a resource that can be used.

The next day, when Zhao Wu got this information, his first feeling was that this was an opportunity, a chance to save face, because he knew that the casualties of more than 200,000 people made him more passive in the empire, and even his sister asked him to return to the imperial capital to avoid this war, and he knew that now the person who replaced him was already on the way, and it was Alexander, who also lost nearly 100,000 people. In order to prevent things from changing again, the Imperial War ordered him not to take any action until Alexander came to take over, and repeated the phrase "any action" twice. However, now this is indeed an opportunity, a chance to recapture Wencheng, and what could be more appropriate than ending his tenure in the Seventh Legion in such a way? Obviously, there was no more, so Zhao Wu ordered the whole army to set off and target Wencheng.

The first and second columns knew when they received Kong Ming's order. The Snow Wolf Mercenary Army is about to give up Wencheng, for the mercenaries, every city is just a place under their feet, a stone, and there are not so many crooked things. The world is so big, where can't they go? Not to mention that they each have 50,000 snow wolf mercenary troops in hand. In order to complete what Kong Ming said, contain the nearly 600,000 troops. Two columns roamed around Harvey's Seventh Legion. As soon as he caught the opportunity, he took a bite directly, and the main force of the Harvey people left as soon as they came. Later, Duns felt that this was too inefficient, and even divided the second column into five teams and carried out this kind of attack with divisions as units; Lu Hai was much more stable, and there was no division of troops, but the same slowed down the pace of the entire Harvey army. When Zhao Wu arrived in Wencheng, it was already four days later. All that was left for him was an empty city, and all the snow wolf mercenary army was gone, and he didn't know it, because his move made Alexander take over the Seventh Legion four days late, that is, these four days, which made the whole shape change a lot.

Yi Yiyi didn't stay, although she was also nostalgic for this city that she had struggled with, but she also knew that before she had absolute military strength, it was just a small dream, not to mention that she was really addicted to the governor, so she chose to leave Wencheng with Kong Ming.

Four days later, Weicheng, a city nearly two hundred kilometers southeast of Wencheng, is also a main city in this area, due to the transfer of Harvey's Seventh Legion, the original 30,000 troops here, now less than 20,000, the rest are the private armies of the nobles, and they began to form a new city defense army the moment they were transferred, but from the intelligence point of view, the city defense army here is less than 50,000 people.

"Commander, we don't have enough magicians, less than two hundred, how can we attack the city like this?" asked Che Yi from the side.

"Now that you are the commander of the Third Army, you can do it yourself, I am only interested in the final result, and you can figure out the other difficulties or something. Kong Ming said very shamefully, this is also a matter of no way, a magician let the two cavalry columns be taken away, and now there are only a few magicians in an army who are responsible for the operation of reconnaissance and communication, and the attack power can almost be said to be gone, Kong Ming will never be able to divide those magicians evenly into various armies? If so, what is the difference between it and no magician? Magicians can only form a strong combat power if they are used on a large scale. Kong Ming could only say this to Che Yu, because this was also the case with the other three armies, and it didn't mean that without the magician, the battle would not be fought. Kong Ming's expression really made Che Yu a little embarrassed, he thought that the commander was in their army, he could be lazy, but where did he think that this commander was lazy, it really made him very depressed, so he had to find a place to find those division commanders to think of a way together.

"Why don't you command or give him some ideas, otherwise what are you doing in this army, do you want to eat dry food?" Yi Yiyi said angrily on the side, you must know that the reason why she is with Kong Ming is not only because of some supervision, but also because Kong Ming's unique ability to command the army gives her more security, so Kong Ming's appearance of throwing her hands at the shopkeeper makes her very dissatisfied.

"I can't always command them like this, and I can't always be so right, so they must start this life on their own, otherwise, if something goes wrong with me, then the entire Snow Wolf mercenary army will be crossed. You know, some people can only command a squad of troops, some people can command a team of troops, some people can command 100,000 people, this is all a matter of ability, these are irrevocable, and we have to let them go to fight now, to master the skills of command, only in this way, when one day I am gone, they can support the entire snow wolf mercenary army. Kong Ming looked at the city in the distance.

"Don't be so pessimistic, know that if we can't beat us, we can go back to the land of chaos. Yi Yiyi heard a hint of pessimism in the empty words.

"Hehe, then we need to be able to go back!" I took the time to check the reasons for the failure of the mercenary army. ”

"What is the reason?" Yi Yiyi interrupted Kong Ming.

"All but one of the mercenary failures were normal. And the only time that time, the mercenary leader was assassinated and killed. The guide was the defeat of that war. "In other words, when the Harvey Empire senses that our threat has increased, it is the day when their assassins are dispatched. Kong Ming said.

"So you started letting them lead the army alone now, also for this?" Yi Yiyi asked, if it was really like what Kong Ming said, then this matter was really strict, you must know that from ancient times to the present, the way of assassins has emerged in an endless stream, especially in this kind of large-scale operation, once the commander is assassinated. Then the entire army of hundreds of thousands will inevitably break out into more turmoil, and then the entire mercenary army will be destroyed.

"Not only that, you know that I participated in the battle of Chu in the Chu State, and now that I think about it, the real war may really be outside the war, and the wise man of the Harvey Empire is really a capable person. However, a few small strategies led to the collapse of the Yan State, and the traitors of the Chu State emerged in an endless stream. And I'm in that kind of environment. It is also difficult to protect oneself. I don't believe that there are no Harvey Empire among our mercenaries now? If so, you are underestimating the spies of the Harvey Empire. I'm just worried about whether these spies have infiltrated our upper echelons. Kong Ming said.

"Do you want to do a clean?" Yiyi whispered.

Kong Ming gave her a strange look, did this woman read too many novels, and really thought that the word spy was written on her face? You must know that many times spies can be bought directly with money, and such people cannot be guarded against.

"You're thinking too much, if you want to carry out such an operation, I might as well disband the mercenary army. Do you really think that our army is the army of those empires? If nothing else, once you say this sentence in front of everyone, I can guarantee that the 500,000 army will immediately leave 400,000. You must know that our soldiers are mercenaries, not the regular army of other empires, these mercenaries are doing things that take money to work, bastards without money, and can leave at any time. What's more, it's good that they have spies here, so some of our camouflage operations are the most real. Kong Ming said. Spies can be used by the enemy or by themselves, depending on how they operate.

"Then it's up to them?" said Yiyi, annoyed, she hated this kind of snake and rat people at both ends of the world.

"Why don't you let them, they take money and fight for us, what reason do we have not welcome?" Kong Ming said with a smile.

In any empire, if there are more people like spies, it directly proves that the operation of this empire is very wrong, the emperor needs these spies to monitor all the personnel, and now the Harvey Empire is in this situation.

An hour later, the three armies moved, and instead of attacking the city, they went to the towns around the city, and in less than thirty minutes, the 100,000-strong army disappeared as far as the people of the city could see. These small towns near Weicheng were directly attacked, and under the army, chickens and dogs jumped everywhere, so that the car was embarrassed to come to Kongming's side. At this time, Kong Ming hid in a wood, where an army of 50,000 was hidden, these people were all on the side of the city, using the cover of the woods to come here to concentrate, and in the direction of the city, they used magic to hide the personnel.

"What the hell are you doing?" said Yi Yiyi dissatisfied, looking at the car that had just come to them.

Che Yi looked at Kong Ming embarrassedly, and saw that Kong Ming was not dissatisfied, and the worries in his heart couldn't help but let go, knowing that Kong Ming was not dissatisfied with his arrangement, but Yi Yiyi didn't expect that Che Ming had an army of 100,000, and he was so careful.

"Miss, what can I do, judging from the intelligence, there are at least 50,000 people in the city, but everyone knows that although there are not many nobles here, they can pull a lot of people, not to mention that even if it is 50,000 people, under the walls and magic arrays of the city, we don't have magicians, if we attack it, even if we defeat the city, there will not be many people left of our 100,000 people, we are here to attack the city, not to send them to death. Che Yu said unashamedly.

This is the difference between a person who has not received a real military education and has received a military education. As a commander, a person who has not received real military training generally has the attitude of a person who has not received real military training to ensure that his hands do not die in large numbers, or that he does not feel that the battle is not worth fighting, if he feels that it is not worth it, or even refuse the task, if he has to complete the will. Then he will find a different way to accomplish this task, of course, first and foremost to give them enough freedom. If he is a commander trained in a military academy, he will complete the task at any cost, because he will feel that it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, which is a matter of course. The difference between these two different attitudes also leads to a great difference in the means and methods of command between the two people, which is why in many wars, the battle between these two types of people is always refreshing.

Yi Yiyi couldn't help but be angry, he scattered the army of 100,000, and looted everywhere, although it was said that they were all robbed by nobles. But it also makes people ashamed, because this can be regarded as an escape from the battle, and it is not ashamed to fight a battle, but to be proud. This made her, a person who had received an orthodox education since childhood, angry for a while.

"Come on, don't lose your temper either. Listen to him and talk about his plans. Kong Ming looked at Yi Yiyi, who was almost blown away, and said.

"We talked about it for a long time, if we talked about it head-on. One of our forces is insufficient. And there is no other magician to blast through the protection of the city, even if we are defeated, not only will it take a long time, but also a large number of mercenaries will die, which is not cost-effective, so we thought of another way......" Che Yu said here. Yi Yiyi's anger didn't disappear, and she couldn't help but say: "I'm obviously afraid of death, and I'm looking for an intermediary!"

Che Yu didn't care about it either, and got along for a few months. He also has a considerable understanding of this deputy commander, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and he has no bad intentions.

"We decided to come and lead the snake. Che Yu continued.

"Lead the snake out?" said Yiyi strangely.

"When did you learn the idiom?" said Kong Ming.

"Oh, the commander of the Ninth Division, Liao Cheng, said. He said, if we attack directly, there is no magician, second, there is no siege equipment, third, our movement is too slow, fourth, the enemy's strength is unknown, if we are stupid to attack the city, whether we can fight it is not to say, at least there are not a few dead mercenaries, in short, it will not be able to draw. Instead of that, it would be better to lure them out, destroy them outside the city, and send some men to open the city gates in the guise of the Harveys, so as to kill two birds with one stone. Che Yi said a little flutteringly, for his plan, he still thinks about it as a genius idea, and he can't wait to promote it all over the mainland. Looking at him like this, Yi Yiyi didn't do it, didn't hit him, and really let the commander of the three armies fly into the air.

"What if they don't come out?" she said, staring at the car.

"Well, if they don't come out, we'll just go to work somewhere else, and what do they do? Che Qian thought that someone had asked this question too, so he was not obviously flustered. Yi Yiyi was even more annoyed when she saw this, such an answer, it was better not to answer, just wanted to make a fu, only to hear Kong Ming next to him say:

"Che Yu, you inform them, ask them to find some people to make the appearance of fighting because of the uneven distribution of spoils, be realistic, if necessary, hurt a few people, and give them high compensation, especially in the place facing the city, let them see clearly, if this is the case, they should come out. ”

The two were about to face each other again, when they suddenly heard Kong Ming say such a sentence, Che couldn't help but be happy, and hurriedly found a signal soldier to use magic to pass this strategy to the commanders of each division. And Yi Yiyi next to her saw that Kong Ming said it, so she didn't bother anymore.

Weicheng, at the head of the city, the city lord of Weicheng is watching the dynamics of the mercenary army above, and there are several magicians next to him who keep using magic to display some video information in the distance, only to see that in the video, some mercenaries keep raiding the private houses of those nobles in the town not far from Weicheng, and some are constantly searching for some valuable things.

"City lord, they're all scattered, can't we attack yet? Those people down there are just a bunch of hillbillies, what's so scary. The commander of the city defense army next to him said.

"Although they say that they are a group of hillbillies who can't get on the stage, but they can't stand the commander of a baron, and even the two legions of Alexander and Zhao Wu have eaten ashes under his hands, let's be careful, maybe this is a trick of theirs to lure the enemy?" said the city lord carefully, he knew that many of the soldiers were straight. So I didn't bother with the commander of the city defense army. And the two are of the same level, but because the city defense army is controlled by him, they will listen to him, otherwise they will not pay attention to him with the other party's character.

"It won't be so coincidental, the intelligence says that the 400,000 troops in Wencheng have been divided into four routes, and I think these people we see are one of them, and that Kong Ming will not be so coincidental in this team. The commander said, you must know that he and some of the people in the Seventh Legion are classmates who graduated from military academies, and occasionally have some correspondence, so he is still more concerned about the battle of the Seventh Legion, and in comparison, he is more concerned about his current opponent, the commander of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army-Kong Ming. So if he knew that Kong Ming was here, most of the time he wouldn't dare to fight, because this person was too evil. In front of the 500,000 army, he dared to eat the strength of an army at once, and he could leave in style.

"That's why we have to take a serious look at it, to see if there's a chance to sneak up on it, so that they can also know what is at stake. The city lord said.

"I didn't expect the city lord to have such a high idea, it's great. "Thinking of Kong Ming, the military commander, I feel a little uncomfortable.

"City Lord, you see, those mercenaries quarreled, and even moved their swords, look, a few people were bleeding. As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a magician say to the image in the magic mirror. The two hurried over, only to see that in the picture, the mercenaries of the two teams were confronting each other, they were constantly talking about something, and the people of the two teams each pulled a few injured mercenaries, bleeding all over the ground, and even two or three people were lying on the ground and passed out, and two people similar to the captain were arguing about something in the middle, and it seemed that there were some people who wanted to do something. The confronting mercenaries also drew their long swords one after another, as if they were going to fight one by one.

"Haha, great things can be done. Commander, immediately gather all the men, except for the 20,000 men, nay, 10,000 men who are left to defend the city, and the rest of the men will go out of the city at once, and follow me to exterminate the bandits from these chaotic places. The city lord said happily.

"City Lord, go out now, why? Didn't you say that this was just their trick to lure the enemy?" The commander of the city defense army couldn't react a little, and just now he said that he was going to go out, and this turn is a little bigger.

"Haha, if I suspected they were luring us out just now, not now. The city lord said as he walked.

"Why?" asked the commander of the city defense army as he asked the signal corpsmen to inform the others to prepare.

"I've always known that the nature of bandits is to rob, hmph, if it weren't for the money, what would they be doing in our Harvey Empire. If they are luring us out, then they must have some vigilance, as soon as they find us out of the city, they will gather against us, and at this time, their fellows who raid the house must also be vigilant and raid the house. But now, they themselves are arguing, and even hurting people, and this is not a bait, but the result of their commander ordering a raid on the house, and the unequal distribution of the spoils. At this time, where did they come from to attack us, and it was not enough to deal with their own affairs. The city lord said proudly.

"What if it's bait?" The city defenders were obviously a guy whose head was caught in the door, and when the city lord was excited, he took a head of cold water.

"Hmph, how can these mud-legged people be bait? They don't have that high IQ yet, they only have a small number of troops left to watch over us, I want them to know that my stuff is not so easy to grab. The city lord was annoyed enough, watching those mercenaries grab their savings for many years, where can the firepower in his heart be put down......?
