When Zhou Yi led his army south, the situation in the empire's Baiyue County was out of control.

In just over a month, the elven army swept through Baiyue County.

Although he received the alarm from Huangfu Lesheng, and soon received an urgent document from Wanghai City, the time was too tight, and the Seventh Legion of the Empire stationed in Nanyue City did not have time to make effective arrangements, and it collapsed in front of the elven army.

Of course, the surprise attack of the elves caught the Seventh Legion off guard was only one thing.

More importantly, the Seventh Army Corps was stationed in Baiyue County in the south, and the prosperity of Nanyue City, the comfortable life that had not been fought for a long time, the armor was not repaired, the soldiers were not enough, the training was lax, and the armament was lax.

This is the fundamental reason why the Seventh Army is about to collapse at the touch of a button.

Huangfu Lesheng was actually very aware of the current situation of the Seventh Legion, but their legion commander was Zhao Ti, the Prince of Imperial Yue, the younger brother of His Majesty today, and this identity made him unable to go to school.

In today's empire, the power of the military and the court has risen dramatically, and the imperial family only controls the seventh and ninth field legions, the guard regiment stationed in Luojing, and the Praetorian Guard guarding the imperial city.

If the Emperor Fu Le Sheng wrote a letter to complain about all kinds of misdeeds of the Seventh Legion, he would definitely give the Holy Court an opportunity to intervene, which His Majesty would not allow.

He also privately told Emperor Xià about this, and His Majesty also reprimanded Zhao Ti for this, but in addition to reaping Zhao Ti's resentment, the Seventh Legion remained the same.

Now, as expected, the Seventh Legion is not very useful. Zhao Ti didn't even take a picture of the elves, so he fled to this Manchuan Pass with the legion headquarters and the troops directly under him, and handed over the prosperous Nanyue City to the elves.

When Huangfu Lesheng's Ninth Army arrived, Zhao Ti was already in Manchuan Pass. Fortunately, he is not too wasteful, and he still knows to send people to collect the rout of the Seventh Army in various places. Otherwise, the Seventh Legion would have been removed from the Imperial Army.

"His Royal Highness King Yue, I heard that the will of the imperial court is coming, I don't know what the imperial court's response plan is?" Huangfu Lesheng strode into Zhao Ti's residence in Manchuan Pass, and saw Zhao Ti sitting in the flower hall with his brows furrowed.

He heard that the imperial court had sent someone to send a military order, so he hurriedly came from the pass.

"Alas, Baiyue County has fallen, and the miscellaneous members of the Holy Court in the court are attacking this king at this time, and they want this king to make meritorious service for their crimes, otherwise they will be punished for both crimes. They actually wanted to remove this king from his post, hum!" Zhao Ti was in his forties, but he was getting more and more excited when he spoke, with a cruel taste, like a young man.

Huangfu Lesheng didn't know how to take his words, in Huangfu Lesheng's opinion, Zhao Ti was indeed responsible for the affairs of Baiyue County, at least for the fall of Nanyue City so lightly.

The 100,000 troops of the Seventh Army Corps, in addition to the troops directly under the Corps, also had two divisions and regiments, and the 60,000 or 70,000 troops fled without a fight, and it was not an exaggeration to cut off his head.

Seeing Huangfu Lesheng sitting there silently, Zhao Ti's cruel gaze couldn't help but glance at him a few times. He remembered that it was this imperial husband who went to His Majesty to beat his own little report, and this time he was unlucky, I am afraid that he will not come to the rescue.

Thinking like this, Zhao Ti's new hatred and old hatred came to his heart together, and the poor and unaware Huangfu Lesheng was also shot while lying down, the villain really can't afford to offend, and Zhao Ti is a complete villain!

"This king has decided, he must attack! He must strike hard at the rampant momentum of the elves!" Zhao Ti's eyes flickered, and a poisonous plan came up with it. He sat there, leaning forward and staring at Huangfu Lesheng.

Huangfu Le Sheng was shocked, what kind of trouble is this, now don't look at the two legions of more than 200,000 troops gathered, it seems to be strong. However, the Elven Empire's million-strong army invaded, and its main force stationed in Nanyue City numbered nearly 400,000 people, and would go north to attack Manchuan Pass at any time.

The defense of the two major armies is still a little difficult, let alone taking the initiative. What's more, the nearly 100,000 troops of the Seventh Army are overwhelmed, and there is really no hope for it.

This King Yue must have been forced to be red-eyed by the military orders of the imperial court, and he was ready to make a desperate bet. But this is obviously a move to find death! Huangfu Lesheng thought in his heart, and persuaded Zhao Ti with his mouth.

"His Royal Highness King Yue, don't be impatient, it's really not appropriate to attack now! Let's wait for the arrival of imperial reinforcements before making plans, now we just need to guard the Manchuan Pass, so that the elven army is not allowed to go north!"

"Hmph, wait, wait, you just know wait, if you didn't immediately go south to support after you got the news in Pingman City, how could this king fall to Baiyue County because of the difficulty of being alone! Now you still have to wait, do you have to wait until this king is cut off from his post!?" Zhao Ti stood up and said viciously.

Now he can be regarded as saying the complaint in his heart, this guy is purely a typical example of not having enough success and more failure.

Others kindly reminded him, but he hit a rake.

Huangfu Lesheng knew his urine, his face couldn't help but darken, considering his special identity, he had to explain: "Without the military order of the military department, it is impossible for this commander to mobilize the army without authorization!"

Zhao Ti doesn't care what the Emperor Fu Lesheng has in trouble, anyway, now he is bent on pitting the Ninth Legion.

"This king doesn't care, anyway, this king's seventh legion has been trained, and tomorrow we will set off to find the enemy for a decisive battle!"

Huangfu Le Sheng was stunned, feeling that this guy was completely crazy. But Huangfu Lesheng can't see death without help, if Zhao Ti has a mistake, he can't explain to the court, especially to His Majesty.

"Reporting ......" was thinking about how to persuade Zhao Ti when Huangfu Lesheng was thinking about how to persuade Zhao Ti, a sergeant broke into the door, his face full of anxiety.

"Lord Wang, the Emperor Fu is marshal, the scouts are coming to report! The elven army of 400,000 is coming towards Manchuan Pass!" the sergeant knelt down and saluted, and hurriedly reported the general's situation.

Hearing this, Zhao Ti was trembling, he was really afraid of something! His bold words just now were just for Huangfu Lesheng to hear, where did he have the courage to go to the elves for a decisive battle, but he wanted to take the opportunity to trap Huangfu Lesheng, so as to alleviate his guilt for losing the city and land.

"Oh, which part of the enemy army is it, can you find out?" Huangfu Le Shengzhi was not alarmed, and he had to maintain the composure of the general in front of the pawn.

"The enemy army is the main force of the enemy army in Nanyue City under the banner of the Amber Light King, and they also carry the kind of huge cannon that can shoot from a distance!" the sergeant reported the scout's information to Huangfu Lesheng in detail.

Well, it should be the Prince of the Kunya Elven Empire, Hicks Amber Light. It seems that this time the elves want to take Manchuan Pass and go north in one go, and the pressure on their Ninth Legion will be great. Huangfu Le Sheng slowly analyzed the situation in his heart, and looked at Zhao Ti, who was pretending to be calm.

Don't look at Zhao Ti pretending to be calm, but his ugly face betrayed him.

"His Royal Highness the King of Yue, this enemy is the Prince of the Kunya Empire, the Imperial Zongzheng, and the commander of this northern invasion, Hicks Amber Light. The kind of huge artillery they brought was a great threat to Manchuan Pass, and our army must continue to strengthen the city defense and be prepared to hold on for a long time and wait for reinforcements!"

"No! We're going to attack! Stay here, waiting for them to bomb us! Huangfu Lesheng, you also read the Haicheng emergency report, the elves' giant cannons can easily blow up our city passes, we must attack and destroy their cannons!" Zhao Ti suddenly stood up, waved his arms and roared.

Zhao Ti's actions frightened the sergeant kneeling in the room and quickly lowered his head, he had never seen this kind of hysteria of high-level figures.

"Okay, you go down!" Huangfu Lesheng was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Ti's madness regardless of the safety of the war, and was ready to talk to him, but he still asked the sergeant to step back first.

"Little retire!" the sergeant got up and hurried out, he didn't want to stay here for a moment to watch the clash between the two corpsion commanders.

"Your Highness, Manchuan Pass cannot afford to be lost! Behind our army is the Vientiane Plain, once Manchuan Pass falls, the empire will have no pass in Vientiane County!" Huangfu Lesheng also stood up suddenly, and was very polite to Zhao Ti.

"Hmph! Manchuan Pass is indeed not to be missed, but if we don't destroy Hicks Amber's cannon, do you think we can defend Manchuan Pass?" Zhao Ti did not show weakness, and the reason seemed to be very sufficient.

"Our army is inferior in strength to the enemy, and if we attack rashly, we will only hit our heads and bleed! Our army will not be able to break through the enemy's guards at all and destroy those damned cannons! When the time comes, our army will suffer heavy losses, and it will be even more unable to defend the pass.

Your Highness, I firmly disagree with the attack!"

Seeing the momentum of Huangfu Lesheng, Zhao Ti had the heart to retreat, but when he thought of his plan, he said stubbornly: "If you don't go, this king will go! This king swears to destroy those giant cannons, even if the whole army is annihilated!"

"Your Highness, as long as we guard it properly, it is impossible for the elves to destroy Manchuan Pass with those giant cannons!" Seeing Zhao Ti's attitude of not giving up, Huangfu Le Sheng had no choice but to persuade His Royal Highness the Prince in a low tone.

"Marshal Huangfu, Manchuan Pass is just a pass to Vientiane County. Once the elves can't attack for a long time, they will inevitably choose to cross the Nu River from the east to attack Wuchu County, and what will we do to defend against them at that time!

Only by destroying their giant cannon and inflicting heavy damage on them can the enemy be crucified under the Manchuan Pass!"

Seeing that Huangfu Lesheng was no longer aggressive, Zhao Ti naturally knew that he couldn't continue to stimulate him, so he hurriedly explained his concerns gently.

"The Nu River is wide and the current is fast, and the Sixth Army has already collected the ships along the route, and the Imperial River Defense Fleet is also ready for battle. In a hurry, the elves were unable to break through the Nu River defense line at all. I think Hicks probably stayed in Nanyue City for a few days and carefully investigated and considered these circumstances, so he decided to attack Manchuan Pass with his main force north. ”

Huangfu Lesheng broke through the loopholes in Zhao Titiy's words and analyzed Hicks Amber's plan thoroughly, and Hicks would definitely be surprised if he knew.

"Hmph! This king will never sit idly by! The seventh army of the king of Ming Japan will leave Manchuan Pass and go up to fight Hicks for a decisive battle! Your Marshal Huangfu is willing to stick to it and wait for help, whether it is to sit back and watch the success or failure, whether he dies or not, it is up to you!"

Zhao Ti was a little annoyed and angry, if he didn't fight head-on, how could he put the responsibility for the defeat on Huangfu Lesheng?
