Howard, the deputy marshal of the Lion Empire, rebelled, causing more than half of the elite troops of the Lion Empire to face each other, and what was worse was that the Lion Empire had no way to mobilize troops to quell this rebellion, which made the south of the empire fall quickly, and the richest territory of the entire empire was occupied by Howard, and more importantly, the places occupied by Howard were all important strategic points of the Lion EmpireIf Lion City falls, then there will be no strategic points in the north of the entire empire to hold Howard's troops in the way. The entire lion empire was in turmoil because of Howard's rebellion, and all the troops that could be drawn were looted, and King Arthur only mobilized two million troops, which is really nothing compared to Howard, who has swelled to 10 million.

The wolf smoke in the north was everywhere, and the information of Howard's rebellion was soon sent to the hands of Li Jing, the commander of the Northern Corps, by the scouts of the Tianlong Empire, and the strength of the Northern Corps has now reached more than five million, but after being stationed in various cities, the mobile troops that Li Jing can mobilize are only less than three million, and the reinforcements that Jihua has drawn have been successively drawn to the front line of Jiaozhou in the south to strengthen the combat strength of the demon clan, and at the same time, in order to supplement the strength of Dong Zhuo's Bingzhou Corps, more than 500,000 troops have been successively transferred from the Northern Corps to supplement the Bingzhou Corps, Li Jing faced the strong enemy in the north, had to once again confront the enemy with absolutely inferior forces.

"Marshal, Howard's rebellion has greatly damaged the vitality of the Lion Empire, and we may not be able to get any help from the north in the short term. Once the Bloodline Corps attacked. The Tongguan front line will be the first strategic point we have to face. Do we want to strengthen the combat strength of the front line of Tongguan?" Wang Yangming said to Li Jing with a solemn face, the original Jihua who attacked and annihilated the bloodline legion from the north and south has gone bankrupt, and with the current strength of the northern corps, even the defense is very bad, let alone attacking. After all, no matter how strong the Northern Corps is, it is definitely not the opponent of the Bloodline Legion, without strong help, there is no way to defeat the Bloodline Legion, the Lion Empire has no way to aid the Northern Legion, and Li Jing has to fight a defensive battle that he doesn't like.

"Our army is now all arranged along Tongguan, Yanzhou. Jizhou, at present, only half of the city is controlled by my tender hands, from the Tongguan line all the way to the east and west, our front line is too long. Li Jing looked at the strategic map and said to the generals around him with a solemn face: "Now Yanzhou, Jizhou, Tongguan, Liangzhou and Qingzhou in the north constitute our strategic defense route, and the main force of the bloodline army is entrenched in Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Tongguan. However, the Xiannu clan in the north and the nobles of the previous dynasty are also ready to move, and our troops who want to break through this line will naturally not be less. There is no need to worry about General Bai Qi fighting in Jizhou, and there is no need to worry about General Tan Daoji in Yanzhou, but the front line of Liangzhou is what I am most worried about, and now Liangzhou has just been withdrawn from the hands of the king of the north, if we rashly send a large army forward, I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate. ”

"In order not to worsen the situation on the northern front, we cannot send more troops. The number of troops is easy to cause a chain reaction between the Xiannu clan and the nobles of the previous dynasty, but if the troops are insufficient, the north will not be able to stabilize, and this Howard rebellion will really pick a time. Liangzhou is a very important link in our defense line, if Liangzhou is breached, our defense line will be affected, but there are not enough troops, no matter who arrives in Liangzhou, it is not easy to fight. Wang Yangming's face is also very bad, this is a war that can only be won and not lost, no one can lose, but there is indeed no too much troops to be transferred on the front line of Liangzhou, and Liangzhou is very important, the choice of this general has become a headache for Li Jing for a while.

"Marshal, now General Li Mu is still fighting in Qingzhou, and the remnants of the Zhang family have not been cleaned up yet, I see if I want General Dolgon to draw some troops from the front line of Youzhou and enter Liangzhou eastward, and then order Li Mu to join the front line of Qingzhou and Liangzhou, we are sending a few capable cadres into Liangzhou to guard Liangzhou. Wang Yangming looked at Li Jing and said lightly: "Dashuai, you see that the Mengshi brothers entered Liangzhou with 100,000 troops and guarded the front line of Liangzhou to prevent turmoil in Liangzhou." ”

"The Montessori brothers are strong in martial arts, and their attainments in the art of war are not under the commander, if they only lead 100,000 troops into Liangzhou, there are not many troops, and they will definitely not touch the nerves of those people, counting the strength of Dolgon's Youzhou army and General Li Mu's army on the front line of Liangzhou, say no more and say less, with the talents of the Montessori brothers, we will definitely be able to keep the first line of Liangzhou, as long as the first line of Liangzhou is stable, we can let go of the war with the bloodline army. ”

Li Jing soon found the Montessori brothers in the army, and told the two brothers about the current situation, and the two brothers also lowered their heads and thought for a while, and then agreed to Li Jing's jihua. The two of them also did not have to wait, immediately transferred 100,000 troops in the army from Sizhou to the north into Liangzhou, integrated the troops left by Dong Zhuo in Liangzhou, and combined their own troops to pack up 300,000 troops, the two gave up some unimportant cities, and concentrated all the troops in their hands on the front line of Yanmen Pass to defend Howard's reinforcements in the north, this part of the troops were led by Meng Yi, and Meng Tian led a small part of the troops to defend against the Xiannu clan and the nobles of the previous dynasty, and for a time the entire Liangzhou was also surging.

"General, the scout has just sent the information, our enemy is coming to us, this time the enemy is menacing, and has gathered more than three million troops. Dong Ping took the information in his hand and walked to Bai Qi, who was discussing the military situation in the marshal's mansion, and reported.

"Three million? It seems that they really look down on our 500,000 troops in Yanzhou, six times the number of troops, is he too cowardly. ”

"I think they have both, and with their guts, they will not dare to fight us without enough troops. Dong Ping said to Bai Qi with a smile.

"No matter what they think, three million against half a million, I am not a soft persimmon in vain, and he will definitely have no return. Bai Qi looked at Dong Zhuo murderously and said: "Pass the order, prepare for war on all fronts, and all the soldiers will return to the camp now to prepare for battle." ”

Jizhou, the marshal's mansion of Tan Daoji, since he was sent to the front line of Jizhou, Tan Daoji has been devouring the land of Jizhou little by little in a way of encroachment. Everyone didn't notice this young general who entered the land of Jizhou with 20,000 troops, and when all the reactions came, Jizhou had been swallowed up by Tan Daoji, and when they wanted to attack Tan Daoji, they were horrified to find that they didn't have enough troops to launch a counterattack on Daoji, and Daoji was still a boiled frog in warm water, devouring Jizhou little by little, unconsciously, a large area of land in Jizhou has been under the control of Tan Daoji, it can be said that Tan Daoji is the most low-key one among the generals of the Northern Corps, but it is the most surprising person。

"Marshal, our enemy is coming, this time there are more than three million enemies, the enemy seems to pay enough attention to us, this battle can be fought. Gao Aocao looked at Tan Daoji who was teasing the bird with excitement on his face and said, for these generals, Tan Daoji's way of fighting boiled frogs in warm water is undoubtedly very painful for them, they have long been too late to fight with these people, but Tan Daoji just does not agree to such a large-scale battle, it has always been a small-scale encroachment to let the enemy die invisibly, this makes the generals under his command very dissatisfied, but Tan Daoji is the main general, and everyone is naturally not good, so they can only follow Tan Daoji to slowly devour Jizhou, but now the opportunity has finally come, and the bloodline army is coming violently, Tan Daoji wants to devour little by little is obviously impossible.

"Oh, are they coming?" Tan Daoji cynically teased the bird in his hand and smiled faintly: "Come at the right time, coming early and late will make me feel a faint sense of loss, but they actually came at this time, the time is really good, it's really good, it's a second to come." Gao Aocao, the order went down, ordering Jizhou to start to enter the state of war mobilization now, all soldiers must report to the nearby barracks within three days, and after three days, all the soldiers will be pulled out and driven to the front line, and there will be no mistakes, and those who violate the order will be beheaded. ”

Jizhou, with the sound of Tan Daoji's zero, the soldiers of the Shenwu Army all came out in an instant like bamboo shoots after the rain, and after the generals under Tan Daoji also received the military report, they drove a team of high-morale, well-equipped elite soldiers who drove in front of them were also big mouths, they didn't know what was going on, what kind of magic Tan Daoji used, only entered Jizhou with 20,000 elite soldiers, and unknowingly had so many elite soldiers.

"Xiaokuan, how did the marshal do it? Why don't I know when we have so many elite soldiers?" Gao Aocao looked at the team of high-spirited elite soldiers in front of him blankly, and counted the troops for a little more than 500,000, Gao Aocao didn't know what words to use to describe his surprise: "I said that Dashuai won't have the ability to scatter beans into soldiers, right? When will we have 500,000 troops?"

"There's a lot you don't know, haven't you been clamoring for a good fight with them a long time ago? Now that we have the opportunity, where did the commander get these soldiers, let's not think about it, what we have to do now is to achieve enough meritorious service in this battle to prove our worth. Wei Xiaokuan said lightly to Gao Aocao.

"You're right, the opportunity has finally come, you must make them look good!" (To be continued......)
