Chapter 876: 'Reinforcements'

"I've made contact with the Fengqi Empire, and they'll be looking for the right time to attack Ogden after we launch an attack on Dongyu!" Gladys looked at Harry with a little excitement.

"The right time?" Harry's eyes widened unconsciously.

"Don't worry, Feng Qi has promised me that no matter what, they will definitely send troops! I don't need to say much about the meaning of Ogden to them, and you should know it very well in your heart. If this situation does not improve, I believe it will not be long before they are in an even more difficult situation than ours!"

"Your Highness, I understand what you said, but our current military strength" Harry hesitated for a moment as he explained the state of his cavalry.

"I've heard a few similar cases, but is it really that serious?"

"Wechen definitely doesn't dare to say half a lie! This is actually not the earliest situation, as far as Wechen knows, some local troops only have one-third of the actual roster, relying on them" Harry didn't continue, but looking at his bitter face, Gladys already fully understood what he wanted to say.

"If I give you enough authority, how soon will you be able to train a force that can fight?"

"At least half a year!"

"No, I can only give you three months! I will do my best to provide everything you need, but after three months, you must show me a force capable of fighting!"

"Yes!" Harry had taken on the job more than three months earlier.

I have to say that Harry's three months have not been in vain, and this Ziqing army is the same as it was three months ago. It's been a big difference inside and out. Otherwise, they would not have achieved such a brilliant record as they have today!

It's just that Harry himself knows it in his heart. It's all just a flower in the well, once Dongwoo officially reacts. He only had one thing left to think about next, and that was how to bring these hundreds of thousands of people back to Ziqing alive!

It is precisely for this reason that Harry has been particularly anxious in recent times, and almost everyone is not pleasing to the eye.

At this moment, Harry suddenly heard the shouting of killing, and he couldn't help but immediately change his face and suddenly stood up from his chair:

"Someone!

"General!" Harry's orderlies quickly appeared in the tent, and he was stunned for a moment when he entered the tent, and then quickly walked around the debris on the ground to Harry.

"There's something going on out there. Where's the shouting of killing?"

"It sounds like it's in the direction of Nancheng, we don't know much about the specific situation, but we've already sent someone to check it out!"

"Report!" the orderly's voice came into the tent before he could finish speaking.

"Come in!"

"What's going on out there?" asked Harry aloud as he looked at the intelligence officer who was in a daze at the door.

"Marshal Huiyu: An army of Dongyu is storming our camp at the south gate, and they seem to be about to join the defenders of the city. ”

"How many troops do they have?"

"About three to fifty thousand, mainly cavalry!"

'30,000 to 50,000' is simply a joke! If someone reports to Li Zijun about the enemy's strength in this way, Li Zijun will at least have to scold this intelligence officer severely. Available in the Purple Camp. This was enough to make Harry feel relieved, because the intelligence officer had finally come up with an approximate number anyway! Years of pampering had already worn away the feeling of Ziqing's intelligence officers in terms of numbers, and 'three to fifty thousand' was definitely an acceptable range for Harry!

"Three to fifty thousand, they're finally here!" Harry instinctively thought of Kemp's troops.

"Herald. Pass my order: Order Duo Yu and Baigo to lead 10,000 cavalry each to reinforce the southern camp quickly, and never let Camp and Feige in the city converge!"

"The west camp and the north camp each transferred 50,000 elite soldiers to rush to the south gate of Annan City, once the defenders in the city went out of the city to rescue. They must immediately cut off the retreat of the defenders and assist the Nanying army in destroying the troops outside the city!"

"Yes!" the herald took the arrow and turned to leave, but Harry frowned slightly and called out to him:

"Ordered the other battalions to be on guard as well. Prevent other troops from sneaking up!"

"Yes!" the herald waited for a moment, but Harry didn't say anything more. He trotted all the way out.

"Keep an eye on the development of the war and the surrounding situation, and report anything unusual immediately!" Harry nodded to the intelligence officer and waved him out of the tent.

"Clean up here!" Harry let out a long sigh as the herald and intelligence officer left, gesturing the orderlies to pick up all the clutter on the ground.

"Marshal, what do you see here?"

"Very well, you go out first, I'll call you later!" After learning about Kemp's whereabouts again, the gloom in Harry's heart half dissipated, and his words became much more relaxed.

"It seems that Edlaide is indeed still in Pingyao to rescue the disaster, otherwise, he would never have chosen to storm Nanying at this time!" Harry's mouth turned up, revealing a very imperceptible smile.

"Kemp, since you have thrown yourself into the net, then you can't complain about my cruelty!" At this moment, Harry seemed to have seen Kemp lose his armor.

"Report!" After a few moments, the intelligence officer ran back again.

"Come in!"

"Good news, good news, good news, Marshal!" As soon as he entered the tent, the intelligence officer couldn't help but report the good news to Harry.

"Don't worry, say it slowly, what's the good news?"

"The great army has been repulsed by us, and now they are fleeing to the southeast, and the two generals, Duo Yu and Baigo, have already led their cavalry in pursuit. I'm sure it won't be long before we get the news of Kemp's annihilation!" the intelligence officer reported to Li Zijun with a happy face.

"Repulsed, how did the defenders of the city react?"

"They probably saw our army cruising on both sides, and they didn't make any movement from beginning to end!"

"Nothing happened, tell me the truth, did we defeat the force that tried to enter the city, or did they retreat on their own?" Harry asked, his face sank, staring into the intelligence officer's eyes.

"They were at an absolute disadvantage before Duo Yu and General Baigo arrived. However, they reacted quickly, and as soon as Duo Yu and General Baigo appeared, they quickly withdrew from the battlefield. The intelligence officer was slightly stunned, and told Harry the truth in a roundabout way.

"Evacuate the battlefield quickly, it's broken! Hurry up and give the order, and call Duo Yu and Baigo back to me immediately!" Harry shouted at the intelligence officer, pointing to him.

"Isn't that a pity?"

"It's a pity you're leaving here, my 20,000 cavalry is completely finished! Quick, get them back for me!" Harry yelled at the intelligence officer.

"Yes! Yes!" Seeing Harry's appearance, the intelligence officer didn't dare to hesitate any longer, he turned around and immediately ran out of the tent.

"I hope it's still too late!" Harry slumped into his chair as he looked at the intelligence officer's fading back.

At midnight, the intelligence officer, along with the two generals, Duo Yu and Baigo, walked into Harry's tent in disgrace and dejected.

What the three of them didn't expect was that Harry, who had always been extremely strict and even slightly mean, not only did he not blame them too much this time, but after asking about the losses of the two cavalry, he simply said a few words for them. This was such a surprise to the three of them that they almost forgot about their defeat today! But only a little, because the battle was so hung that if they had not been ordered to withdraw their troops immediately, they themselves would most likely have been thrown there, and the final loss would not have been just six thousand cavalry!

Six thousand cavalry! Unlike the three guys who had just left, in Harry's mind, these six thousand cavalry were not just the word 'just', they were a piece of meat in his heart!

There was no doubt that Harry could now conclude that his opponent had been replaced by Camp and Edlaide!

What was the purpose of Edlaide's move? Was he going to tell himself about his arrival in such a cruel way?

Puzzled, Harry got up and walked to the map:

"Acropolis, Poppy, Edlaide, what are you going to do next? Siege the city and cut off my retreat?"

"Impossible!" After pondering for a while, Harry shook his head:

"I have arranged 50,000 troops in each city, not to mention hiding behind the city walls, even face to face, it is not easy for the 50,000 people in your hands to destroy my garrison. But what are you going to do next, and what am I going to do next?"

"Continue the siege?" Harry suddenly laughed at this:

"No kidding! Edlaide is a ferocious hungry wolf, and giving him his back is tantamount to his own death!Since I can't take the city, why am I staying here?" and Harry finally had an idea, wiping the sweat from his face and letting out a long breath.

"Harry withdrawing?!" Bach almost jumped out of his chair with joy when he heard the news, but what he didn't expect was that Li Zijun and Kemp frowned.

"Two adults, shouldn't we be happy that Harry has withdrawn his troops?" said Bach as he looked at Li Zijun and Kemp with puzzled faces.

"We would be happy if Harry did withdraw his troops, but in reality, he just retreated to the Acropolis, what are we happy about?!" Camp said with a disdainful glance at Bach.

"Lord, what do you say?" Kemp's words were very vague, Bach didn't understand what he meant at all, and he had to cast a pleading look at Li Zijun.

"Strictly speaking, Harry wasn't withdrawing his troops, he was waiting for his reinforcements. As soon as his reinforcements arrive, he will immediately launch a more violent attack on us, and this is what the Admiral and I are most worried about!" Li Zijun barely managed to squeeze out a smile and explained to Bach. (To be continued.) )
