Chapter 4236 So fast?
"Vice General Xu, I think you are overthinking it. Now that Longcheng has been lost, they have no way to go. If they don't come to Hongcheng, where else can they go?
As for whether something has happened to our city lord, I'm not sure. At least I don't think there are any flaws in their words, so I believe their words should be true!" Deputy City Lord Meng said.
Before getting an explanation from the Lord of Long City and the others, he was indeed a little worried about these people.
But after hearing them talk about the current situation in various cities, he felt that those two people did not lie to him.
Moreover, they also contacted various cities and asked them to rush all their troops to Hongcheng. This is definitely a good thing for Hongcheng.
At least, with these people, he no longer has to worry about Hongcheng falling.
"Deputy City Lord Meng, don't you think it's strange?" Deputy General Xu said again.
"What's weird?"
"The strength of Longcheng's troops should only be about 100,000, but after their current Longcheng was captured, they now still have 80,000 or 90,000.
Doesn't this mean that when the Baicheng Alliance attacked Longcheng, Longcheng suffered almost no losses?" Lieutenant General Xu asked doubtfully.
"Aren't there still soldiers and horses from Xian Yue City?" Deputy City Lord Meng said nonchalantly.
"But I have checked before. There are not many people in Xianyue City at all. There are only a few thousand people at most. Those 80,000 to 90,000 people are almost all from Longcheng!" Lieutenant General Xu said.
"So what you are saying is that when the Baicheng Alliance attacked Longcheng, Longcheng did not resist at all, so they simply abandoned the city and fled?" Deputy City Lord Meng thought for a while and said.
"If this is the case, then I have nothing to worry about. After all, the more of them who survive, it will be a good thing for us to garrison Hongcheng.
But I'm worried that this is not such a simple matter. What if these people have directly defected to the Baicheng Alliance?" Lieutenant General Xu thought.
"Surfing yourself to the Baicheng Alliance? This is impossible, and Xianyue City has already been occupied by the Baicheng Alliance. Even if the Lord of Long City is willing, the Lord of Xianyue City will definitely not agree.
Vice General Xu, you seem to be thinking too much!" Deputy City Lord Meng thought for a while and felt that this possibility is still relatively small.
Although he was wary of Long City Lord and Xian Yue City Lord, he did not think that these two people would choose to join the Baicheng Alliance.
Moreover, if they really want to defect to the White City Alliance, considering their geographical location, they may have already defected to them long ago. Why wait until now?
"But..." Deputy General Xu still felt that this matter was not reliable. He wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Deputy City Lord Meng.
"There is nothing wrong with it. No matter what happens to Xian Yuecheng and Longcheng, it should be impossible for them to be loyal to the Baicheng Alliance.
What's more, even if there was no loss in Longcheng, the loss in Xianyue City was real.
Therefore, the hatred between Xian Yuecheng and the Baicheng Alliance will never make them loyal to the Baicheng Alliance!" Deputy City Lord Meng said again.
"Okay, maybe I am overthinking it. However, the Lord of Long City said that they have sent a call to other cities. Will the people from those cities really come to Hongcheng?" Deputy General Xu asked.
"It's hard to say. According to what the Lord of Long City said, if they knew the current situation was so dangerous, they might send people to Hongcheng!
After all, our Hongcheng is the central city. Now that Longcheng has been attacked, it is very likely that our Hongcheng will be attacked next.
More importantly, our Hongcheng is the only first-class city in the surrounding area and is even more powerful.
If we can mobilize the power of the surrounding cities, then our power will still be very powerful.
As long as the Baicheng Alliance dares to appear in Hongcheng, we are absolutely capable of defeating them!" Deputy City Lord Meng said with a smile.
If all the surrounding people can come, then they should be at least a million people!
However, I'm afraid some people won't be happy. In this case, it will probably be reduced by half.
However, even if it shrinks by half, there will still be half a million people.
In addition, they are only defending the city, so 500,000 people should be able to defend Hongcheng no matter what.
"If those people are willing to come to Hongcheng, of course I won't worry. I'm afraid that before we can get to Hongcheng, the White City Alliance army will arrive first.
In that case, even if they want to come to support us in Hongcheng, they may have to retreat when they see this situation!" Vice General Xu said.
"That's not necessarily true. It takes three days to get from Longcheng to Hongcheng. But many of the cities around Hongcheng only take two or three days.
So in these two or three days, some of them will definitely come to Hongcheng!" Deputy City Lord Meng said.
"But haven't Long City Lord and the others already said that? There is an army of the Baicheng Alliance behind them. If they keep following Long City Lord and the others, how can we have two or three days?" Vice General Xu said.
"This..." Deputy City Lord Meng was stunned, and he seemed to be too!
"Isn't it okay now, Vice General Xu, you should go back and rest early. I believe that when you understand, people will come to our Hongcheng one after another!" However, Deputy City Lord Meng thought about it, if the White City Alliance's army
If they had really been following Long City Lord and the others, they might have already arrived outside Hongcheng.
However, nearly a day has passed, but the White City Alliance's army has never appeared. This shows that they are not that fast, and they did not even pursue the Lord of Long City at all.
Moreover, since they have occupied Longcheng again, they will need some time to inventory the battlefield anyway.
What's more, don't they, the White City Alliance, need a rest?
So, they even have more than three days to increase their support, or more time.
"City Lord! City Lord! Oh no, the White City Alliance's army is coming!" However, just when the two were about to separate, someone hurried over and shouted.
"What? The army of the White City Alliance is here?" Upon hearing this, Deputy City Lord Meng really wanted to give the messenger a slap in the face.
He had just told Lieutenant General Xu that the Baicheng Alliance's army could not reach Hongcheng so quickly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by this guy.
"Yes, and there are so many of them, I'm afraid there are nearly a million people!" the messenger said in a panic.
"What! Millions of people? How is this possible? Didn't they say there were only 500,000 people?" Deputy City Lord Meng was also frightened at this time.
