Later, there was really no way, so the lord of the city had to give orders to his guards, and the lords also gave orders to their own servants. Of course, the guards are the most trusted henchmen around the city lord, most of them are people who serve the dead brought from the clan, and they will only obey the orders of the city lord alone. And the servants must first be loyal to the master of the house, and must also carry out such orders.

As a result, after the Shaowu army set up a position under Taihe City, the city gate was opened, and a string of adults were tied up inside. This incident is still rumored to be a "good story" many years later, and as soon as the army of young affairs arrived, the people in the city took the initiative to tie up the adults and sacrifice the city. After Shaowu won the city, while appeasing the people, he also rewarded these donors. In fact, the servants have to be handed over to the master first, and then the master decides how to distribute it.

The capture of Taihe City is too important, and there are several major nodes in Shaowu's strategic plan, the first node is Feihong City, and the second node is Taihe City. After obtaining the materials of the warehouse in Taihe City, as long as it can be defended, the military rations obtained by Shao Wu here will be enough to support the front-line army until the summer of the next year. The timing of Shaowu's choice was too good, and the capture of the city was just shortly after the autumn harvest.

If the problem of local supply is not solved, this supply line will be too long and unsafe to transport military supplies from Jinsha City in Bamuro Kingdom to Baiju City, Guxiong City, Feihong City, and Jiuzhang City.

Another more important result was that Shaowu cut off an important supply line for the poor army, not from the middle, but directly from its source. The soldiers of the Xiangmuro Kingdom who stayed behind to guard the prison country did not want to give up Taihe City, but he didn't expect the Yuegeng army to collapse so quickly, and the speed of Shaowu's march was so amazing, it was not at all as unhurried as when he captured Feihong City.

Even if there was still a source of troops to adjust in the rear of the Xiangmuro Kingdom, Yu Xuan didn't have time to transfer the military formation to Taihe City, so he wisely requisitioned all the garrisons that could come from nearby cities, and gathered outside the national capital to meet the enemy.

The capture of Taihe City was smooth, but it was not easy to continue the march. Shao Wu also knew very well in his heart that he was about to usher in a real decisive battle. To the south of Taihe City is Ryoma City, and Ryoma City is the most important military town in the Xiangmuro Kingdom.

And to the west of Taihe City, is the capital of the Xiangmuro Kingdom. Attack the national capital first or capture Ryoma Castle first? Shao Wu had already made a decision, and he ordered the army to continue westward to the national capital of Xiangmuro. If you attack Ryoma Castle, you may be able to cut off the poor back road and return to Bamuro Country, but you may also be attacked from two directions.

If the capital is captured, it can also cut off the back road of the poor. And it also made the cities of the Xiangmuro country lose their command centers, and then they were easily broken by the young affairs. However, attacking the national capital not only has to face heavy defenses, Yuxuan will also transfer the heavy troops of Ryoma City to the national capital for a decisive battle, which is the biggest test that Shaowu has faced since he entered the army. No matter how successful his strategy is, he must have the strength to win!

......

When Shaowu captured Taihe City and continued to march, the poor army also crossed the line of Pengshan and Zhangren Mountain, and the siege of Badu City had been fought for more than half a month. While Bauchi was defending the line of the passes between Pengshan and Zhangrenshan, the shrike had already withdrawn the nearby people and reinforcements into the city, and when the prime minister approached the city, the shrike closed the gates and could not defend it.

In general. That's not how the real Armageddain is fought. As long as the shrike had enough troops, he should be arrayed outside the city to have any hope of repelling the poor and winning. And once the capital is besieged, it is equivalent to being cut off from the outside world. Bamuro also lost its command center.

However, the shrike obviously did not have the certainty of confronting the poor army in the field, and concentrated a large number of soldiers and civilians in the city for defense, not seeking merit but no fault. Because he knew that the current command center of the Bamuro country was not entirely in the capital. More decrees were delivered from Sands Cotai to various locations.

To Xiangqiu's surprise, the cost of breaking through the passes of Pengshan and Zhangren Mountain was not small, but the siege of Badu City was extremely smooth. No reinforcements arrived from all over the country. Only this plain surrounded by mountains remained, and the capital city in the center of the plain. The purpose of the poor is to capture the national capital, and he will not stop when he has arrived here, and he has no time to divide his troops to capture other cities for the time being.

The three generations of monarchs before Shaowu, who had been running Badu City for many years, had built it into the most magnificent and solid city in Ba Yuan, of course, it was not so easy to capture, and Xiang Poor also had to invest all his heavy troops and concentrate on fighting, but he sent a small group of men and horses to guard the passes in other directions.

Built all kinds of siege equipment, mobilized elite army formations and reserve army formations to attack in turn, and the casualties on both sides were very large, but Xiang Poor did not break through the city defense. He originally thought that under the current situation, Badu City, which was far away from the front line, would inevitably be guarded against emptiness, but there were many more soldiers defending the city than he imagined, and the combat effectiveness was very tenacious.

Shaowu took away the elite field army formation in the country, but the military formation that defended the national capital was not transferred. The shrike withdrew so many people and supplies in time, and organized the young and strong armed forces to take turns to fight in the city. Whenever there were small gaps and damages in the fortified walls under onslaught, they would be repaired and strengthened by the city's collective efforts at night.

Xiang Poor's mood has become more and more impatient, and since he entered the army, his mood has changed very much. The successive capture of the three cities of Wangqiu, Pinggu, and Yeliang was very smooth, and the information obtained in advance was completely correct, which made the monarch high-spirited. However, the resistance encountered in Pengshan and Zhangrenshan was beyond imagination, not only the battle was tragic and delayed for too long, which once made the monarch thunderous.

After breaking through the defense line, the process of marching straight forward and completely encircling Badu City was extremely smooth, and it seemed that Badu City had consumed all its defensive forces in the pass, which made Xiang Poor and complacent. However, the assault in the past half a month has paid such a heavy price for casualties, but it has not been able to take the capital, and it has made the poor irritable and irritable.

In his plan, the capture of Batu City would only take a month at most, and too long would inevitably change.

When the battle was almost half a month, the offensive of the poor army had not decreased, but the logistics and supplies were a little tight. After breaking through the defense line, he went to the richest fertile field in Ba Yuan, but found that almost everything that could be removed outside the city was emptied, and the number of people and prisoners of war he could collect and drive was very small.

A large number of military supplies need to be transported from the direction of the national capital and Taihe City to Longma City, and then transported through the occupied cities in the territory of Bamuro State through the passes of Pengshan and Zhangren Mountain, and through the plains to the front line. The larger the scale of the war, the greater the consumption, and he not only needed to transport military rations, but also needed to replenish troops and armor and other ordnance.

At this time, Xiang Poor received an urgent battle report from Bingzheng Yuxuan: Taihe City has been captured by Shaowu, and the army led by Shaowu is undoubtedly the elite main force of Bamuro State;

Xiang Qian almost didn't vomit blood, the last time he received the news that Yue Geng's army was defeated, he almost drew his sword and beheaded an attendant who advised him not to be too excited. In this situation, there are only two choices for Xiangluo, either to return to the army immediately and block the Shaowu army in the hinterland of the Xiangmuro State and annihilate it, or to attack Badu City in one go.

The palace was set up in a large village near the city of Badu, and the enraged king threw the cup in his hand, and the table in front of him was also cut down, and the attendants around him retreated in fright. After he calmed down, he gritted his teeth and sneered: "Shaowu, Shaowu, I took advantage of the void, and you also took advantage of the void." I will fight against thy capital, and thou shalt strike against my capital. You are following in my footsteps, you will learn from me, and you are not afraid of people's jokes!

You have not yet reached the foot of my capital, and I have been attacking your capital for half a month, and the soldiers and civilians defending the city have suffered heavy casualties. Then let's see, who captured the opponent's capital first? You take away the elite field battles in the country, killing the enemy is also self-inflicted, and after capturing so many cities along the way, I see how many elite soldiers you have left!"

Xiang Poor decided to continue to attack Badu City, at least from the point of view of time, the Shaowu army had just approached the Xiangmur National Capital, and he had besieged the Bamur National Capital for so many days, how could the fat that was about to reach his mouth be willing to spit out like this? Moreover, it was too late for the army to rush back now, so it was best to return to the division to give Shaowu a fatal blow after capturing Badu City.

Before marching, Xiang Qian felt that this was an excellent time to go deep into the hinterland of the Bamuro Kingdom calmly, and even if he couldn't beat the capital, he could make Shaowu succumb and occupy a lot of cities and populations. But when the battle reached this point, he was already in a dilemma, so he could only make a desperate bet, and the words that ridiculed Shaowu were only to cheer himself up.

Xiang Poor immediately convened the generals to arrange the war, and when the monarch and ministers discussed together, Xiang Poor's anger that had just been suppressed flared up again, and he scolded loudly, he first scolded Zheng Gu, then scolded Yue Geng, and then began to scold Bing Zhengyuxuan. The attendants coughed again and again, signaling him with their eyes not to be angry in public, and the generals also advised the monarch not to blame Yuxuan deeply at this time.

The current situation is already like this, and Yuxuan still has to stay in the national capital to preside over the overall situation in the rear and continue to deal with the Shaowu army. If the news of the monarch scolding Yuxuan on the front line spreads back, I am afraid that the impact on morale will not be good, and at present, I can only try to encourage Yuxuan to fight bravely, and I will talk about what will happen in the future.

Xiang Poor accepted the construction of the city, and urgently sent an envoy to encourage Yu Xuan, asking him to mobilize the reinforcements of the military formations in each city in time, block Shaowu from the national capital, and this logistics support line from the national capital to Longma City cannot be lost. Since it takes time to transmit information and military orders, when Xiang Poor decided to launch the strongest offensive to break through Badu City in one fell swoop, Yu Xuan led his army to start a decisive battle with Shaowu.

Xiang Qian made two more decisions on the front line: the first was to let the reserve army array led by Yue Xuan, the general of Zhenguo, in Yeliang City, be transferred to Badu City through the passes of Pengshan and Zhangren Mountain; (To be continued......)
