Xidu County is one of the four counties in Nanhe County. As one of the four border counties, Xidu County is even worse than Dongdu County, which borders Yannan County.
The appearance of the human race brought a turn of events to Xidu County. No, right after the harsh winter, a large amount of supplies began to be transported to Xidu County, and the entire Xidu County immediately became lively.
Being taken seriously means opportunities for development. As for the human race, who cares? Under the family army, the only fate is to be wiped out.
This was Kafei's idea earlier, but at this time, this idea had been thrown into nowhere.
Before the family's army arrived, the human army first surrounded Xidu City.
At this time, at the north gate of Xidu City, five thousand Xuanwu Heavy Steppers formed a formation a hundred steps away from the city gate, like a steel city wall, and five thousand Suzaku archers fired rounds of arrows into the city, hitting the headquarter of the defenders of Xidu City.
Don't dare to show it.
The east gate, west gate, and south gate were each guarded by five thousand knights.
Kafei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He sent troops twice to try to break out and send messages to his family. As a result, he lost thousands of tribesmen and captured thousands more.
The most difficult thing is that these human races are surrounding but not attacking, and they don't know what to plan.
What Kafei didn't know was that when Zhang He led his troops to besiege Xidu City, Pan Zhang and Zhu Ran each led 5,000 Qilin Lancers and 10,000 Green Demon soldiers, but they were frantically attacking various cities in Xidu County.
"Quick, quick, quick! Move faster!"
In a Viscount City in Xidu County, Arthur commanded five thousand Green Demon soldiers who were busy.
Groups of Green Demon captives were escorted out of the city, and the loot in the city piled up like mountains.
Because the troops attacked in two groups, this was already the fourth city captured in three days.
Half of the viscounty territory in Xidu County was captured, and more than 50,000 prisoners were taken.
Arthur almost laughed like crazy. Unfortunately, it took more than two days to go back and forth from Xidu County to Qiuhe County.
Zhang He, the general who conquered the east, has just received news that the main army of the Arthur family has arrived in Dongdu County.
It may take five days as quickly as possible, or seven days as slowly as possible, and you will enter Xidu County.
There really wasn't much time left for Arthur. Fortunately, when he returned to Qiuhe County on his last trip, Arthur had already asked Ya'chang and Ya'er who were left behind to recruit 10,000 young men. He was just waiting to go back this time and set off with the army immediately.
.
The power of the human race once again refreshed Arthur's understanding. The 70,000-strong army and the soldiers were all epic-level units that could rival the warrior class. The human race generals were also more powerful than the last.
Arthur even felt that he might not be able to defeat those generals who led five hundred troops.
When the human lord rewarded him with an epic silver-level extraordinary crystal core, Arthur had already surrendered from the bottom of his heart. He knew that only by following these human races could he, Arthur, succeed!
Six days later, the main force of the Lance family finally entered the territory of Xidu County. Counting the 50,000 troops drawn from various places in Nanhe County, the total number was 150,000 troops.
Led by the third elder Caron, the fifth elder Carman, the Marquis of Carmon of Nanhe County, Thomas, the leader of the family knights, and the deputy leaders, Kayun and Noson.
One title level, five gold level, more than fifty silver level, more than two hundred extraordinary level, fifteen thousand knight level.
In the military system of the Eastern Wasteland, the extraordinary level leads the knight level, the earth knight level leads the ordinary soldiers, and the great knight level leads the ordinary soldiers, led by the general.
"This Kafei, it's so unruly that when we came with the army, we didn't send anyone to greet him!" Kaman snorted coldly. As a family elder, he usually works as a sinecure, so he pays special attention to respect and etiquette.
"Fifth Elder, there may be something wrong with the situation." As the host of Nanhe County, Kamen naturally wants to face his own people.
Although Kafei was not going to come, which was why he was doing so poorly, Carmon had sent someone to specifically instruct Kafei earlier, asking him to make the reception more grand.
Now there is actually no sign of a ghost. As long as Kafei doesn't have a brain problem, there are only two possibilities.
Either something happened in Xidu County, or Kafei rebelled.
"Humph, the army is advancing at full speed, I want to see what's wrong!" Kaman immediately ordered.
Within an hour, the army arrived at the foot of Qiantan City in a mighty manner, but the strange thing was that the gates of Qiantan City were wide open, making it seem like an empty city.
"Kayun, bring a group of knights into the city to investigate." Kaon raised his hand and ordered the army to stop.
This time the supreme commander of the army was Caron.
"Why be so cautious? If you ask me, don't waste time. Just send the army to Xidu City." Carman was a little unhappy with Caron being so cautious.
Originally, the supreme commander of the army this time was Carman, but after a meeting with the Dauser family, the clan leader inserted Caron into the position, taking Carman's place.
"Kaman, this is war. Put your little thoughts away and don't play with the lives of your tribe!" Karon frowned and scolded Kaman.
As the youngest of the five elders of the Lance family, Kaman has been favored by the old patriarch since he was a child. In addition to his good talent, he had a chance to succeed the patriarch.
However, an extremely talented Lao Liu suddenly appeared. Kaman's favor has not become less, but he has received more favor. He inherited the position of patriarch ten years ago, and Kaman's temper has changed drastically.
"Caron! Am I the deputy commander of the army? What? I don't even have the right to express my opinion?" Carman was furious when he saw that Caron was going to the line with him.
In the entire family, except Kasuo and Kahn, Kaman has never obeyed anyone. The eldest brother is like his father. Kasuo is in charge of the family's internal affairs. Kaman has to obey. Kahn, the sixth brother, beat him into submission, but Kaman
Long, an old-fashioned man who manages family logistics, is he qualified to teach himself a lesson?
Although Karon is the third elder, he has the lowest status among the five elders, even inferior to Kafen, the fourth elder who is in charge of the family business.
"Thomas!" Cuarón shouted sharply.
"Third Elder!" Thomas responded and stepped out.
"What punishment should the fifth elder receive for contradicting the supreme commander?" Caron's face showed no change. He just stared at Kaman and asked Thomas.
"Damn it." Kaman cursed and looked at Thomas fiercely. Without waiting for him to speak, he returned to the military formation without looking back.
"Third Elder, this..." Thomas was speechless for a moment. Thomas didn't want to get involved in the conflict between brothers in the Lance family at all.
None of these old people are easy to get along with. The Lance family can develop to the scale it is today. The generation of the five elders has made great contributions.
Caron nodded to Thomas and said nothing.
After a while, Kayun returned from Shoal City.
"Third uncle, something bad has happened. Shoal City has become an empty city. There is not a single citizen in the city. Even the warehouse of the Lord's Mansion has been emptied." Ka Yun reported anxiously to Ka Long when he came back.
"Send the scouts out to me immediately. If there is any sign of trouble, report immediately. The army will bypass the ford city and march towards the west crossing city! Everyone! The war has begun!" Caron narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
He did not expect that the human race in Shanhe County would be so courageous, daring to attack Xidu County first, and at such a fast speed. He only hoped that Xidu City could hold on.
At this time, Xidu City had been successfully captured by Zhang He two days ago. A deputy commander of Xidu City, leading 5,000 Green Demon soldiers, opened the city gates at night and surrendered to Zhang He.
Zhang He led his troops into Xidu City overnight, killing Kafei and three Green Demon Extraordinaries, hundreds of Green Demon knights, and more than 5,000 Green Demon soldiers.
Captured more than 50,000 Green Demons, including six extraordinary Green Demons, more than 2,000 Green Demon knights, and more than 12,000 Green Demon soldiers.
Because there were too many prisoners and supplies in Xidu City, the city was not emptied for two days in a row.
In the lord's mansion, news came from Shi Qian that the main force of the Lance family had arrived in Shoal City and would soon march to Xidu City.
After receiving the news, Zhang He immediately summoned the generals. In the meeting hall, Zhang He took the lead in analyzing the military situation.
"All the enemy's supplies have been captured by our army. Although the supplies they carry are not enough to support long-term operations."
"But because of our army's looting of supplies, the other side will definitely look down upon us and may choose to temporarily build siege equipment to attack our army fiercely."
"As long as our army blocks its offensive and lets the enemy know that nothing can be done, they will have no choice but to retreat."
"Jun Yi, our purpose in waiting for this battle is to cripple this green demon army as much as possible and just let it retreat. Will it come back after all?" Yan Liang said with some doubts.
"General Yan Liang, the enemy's retreat is a good time to beat up the drowned dog." Xu Shu was only temporarily sent by Lin Yi to assist in the battle, and all decisions were led by Zhang He.
However, Xu Shu already understood Zhang He's intention, which was to obtain the enemy's resources and limit the enemy's changes.
Seize the enemy's resources to strengthen yourself, and at the same time make the enemy lose the ability to adapt. Before attacking and retreating, there is no delay, limit the time of their attack, and lock in their opportunity to retreat.
As long as you choose to attack, sorry, you can only capture the target within a certain period of time, otherwise you can only choose to retreat.
The retreat of hundreds of thousands of troops is no joke. It is like a bomb that will explode at any time, especially in such extreme situations of lack of food. Once the enemy commander has the idea of holding on for a while, the camp can only be blown up in a matter of days.
.
"Junyi, you are the general, tell me how to fight!" Yan Liang already understood the meaning of Xu Shu's words, but it was different from Xu Shu's understanding.
The ultimate goal of Zhang He's plan is to expand the results of the war on the basis of reducing his own battle losses, which is exactly what Yan Liang wants, so he has nothing to say.
"good!"
"Yan Liang, Wen Chou, follow your orders!"
"exist!"
"exist!"
"Yan Liang, I want you to lead the Qinglong Army and hide on the river beach on the north side of Xidu."
"Wen Chou, I order you to lead the White Tiger Army and hide in the mountains on the south side of Xidu. The beacon fire is the signal! When the smoke rises, the army comes out of the mountains and riverbanks to attack the enemy's rear flank. The key to this battle is to rely on you two!"
Zhang He told Yan Liang and Wen Chou's arrangements.
"Take your orders!"
"Take your orders!"
Yan Liang and Wen Chou received the order and immediately led the troops to collect seven days of food and set off.
"The rest of the generals, hurry up and collect supplies, and retreat to Dahe City before dark. Burn everything you can't take away with you!" Zhang He saw Yan Liang and Wen Chou leaving, and turned to the generals and said.
"Yes!" All the generals in the meeting hall responded one after another and dispersed.
