The senior leaders of the Lance family, who decided to abandon the army, immediately gathered extraordinary combat forces, escorted Caron and Carman, and began to retreat.
Zhang He's strategic purpose is to capture this large army of the Lance family, the Greedy Wolf Army, the Green Dragon Army, and the White Tiger Army, three cavalry units, cutting and attacking in a rice-shaped formation.
Cut the army of hundreds of thousands of green demons into small groups as much as possible.
Gao Lan led the infantry troops and chipped away at the green demon soldiers who were cut into small groups.
The Green Demon soldiers who had lost their backbone were unable to organize a decent resistance at all. They were like rootless trees being washed away. Thousands of Green Demon soldiers gathered into one group and fled in all directions with the current.
Between chasing down the main force of the Lance family and taking down the defeated Green Demon soldiers, Zhang He chose the latter.
It is in line with Zhang He's strategy to consume the Lance family's vitality to the greatest extent with minimal losses.
The main force of the Lance family still has considerable combat effectiveness. Caron and Carman's Guards, numbering about 20,000, are all composed of top-notch troops, plus the Knights and a group of extraordinary Green Demons.
If we really want to pursue a pursuit, a bloody battle is inevitable. In comparison, it is more appropriate to gather the scattered Green Demon soldiers, occupy Xidu County, and continue to march towards Nanwan County.
At the same time, Zhang He also sent someone to deliver a message to Lin Yi, requesting more troops.
The Lance family has suffered heavy losses, and now is a good time to take control of Nanhe County. However, with only more than 30,000 soldiers, they have more than enough to attack and not enough to defend the territory.
That night, Zhang He gathered 50,000 prisoners and settled in Xidu City.
In this interception battle, more than 10,000 enemies were killed. Counting the knights, only 50,000 of the Lance family army escaped alive.
It was noon the next day when Ji Yi received the news.
It happened that Zhou Yu came back from visiting various cities.
"Lord, the battle in Nanhe County should be fought with strong troops. To capture Shuanggu County, we only need to mobilize orc troops from the counties in Shanhe County." Zhou Yu knew that Lin Yi was planning to build another army, so he advised Lin Yi.
"Gong Jin, it's okay for the orc soldiers to defend the territory, but I'm afraid they won't be useful if they are brought out to fight." Lin Yi said with some worry.
"The orcs in Longgu County are still very convinced of my lord. If my lord can grant me a county, they will definitely be willing to send troops and fight bravely."
"Besides, the number of humans under my lord's command is increasing day by day, and it is not suitable to mix with the orcs. Longgu County may as well be used as a human base." Zhou Yu said slowly.
"Based on the number of clans in Longgu County, how can we occupy the land of a county?" Lin Yi said puzzledly.
"My lord, I think you pay little attention to it. Although rabbits, rats, and sheep are weak races in the Eastern Barren, their groups are spread all over the Eastern Barren. A few days ago, when we crossed a county to the west, each of the three tribes had thousands of vassals. Take them all.
In Valan Province, the total number of the three tribes will exceed one hundred thousand."
Zhou Yu told Lin Yi the information obtained during recent visits.
"Oh? I haven't paid much attention to these small tribes recently." Ji Yi was a little surprised.
Lin Yi directly handed over the matter of collecting prisoners to Li Ru, and only found out after asking Zhou Yu in detail.
After absorbing the same tribes from Tiemu County, Qiuhe County, Taoshan County, Xidu County, and the four counties, as well as the rabbit, rat, and sheep tribes from Longgu County, their numbers have each exceeded the 20,000 mark.
Because the Horse-headed people are good at raising horses, each territory has more or less Horse-headed slaves. Combined, the number of Horse-headed people in all counties exceeds 30,000.
In this way, the six tribes of rabbit, rat, sheep, cow, horse, and deer in Longgu County can easily pull out an army of 30,000 to 50,000 orcs, with the help of the dwarves and pig-headed tribes.
To capture Shuanggu County, which is not heavily garrisoned, there is really no need to raise an army.
"Gong Jin, you will be solely responsible for this matter." Lin Yi decisively threw the burden on Zhou Yu's shoulders.
"We will definitely live up to our orders!" Zhou Yu did not shirk and accepted the order with clasped fists.
The Eastern Expedition Army lost more than 3,000 people in a battle with the Lance family, and Lin Yi called in to replenish the force.
Along with the 10,000 Qilin Lancers, 5,000 Xuanwu Heavy Infantry, 5,000 Suzaku Archers, and 5,000 Greedy Wolf Cavalry summoned with silver coins during this period, they were dispatched to Zhang He to expand the Eastern Marching Army to 60,000.
In Beiyuan County, Norn received the support of the North Expedition Corps and attacked all counties with all his strength.
The Dauser family gathered more than 200,000 troops in Dongyuan County of Beiyuan County. They stood still and watched as Norn took over Beiyuan and Nanyuan counties. It is not yet known what their plans are.
In the next period of time, Zhou Yu also began to recruit troops from various ethnic groups in Longgu County. As expected, all ethnic groups responded one after another.
The Deer Tribe sent out 20,000 troops, including two Bronze-level extraordinarys, fifty earth knights, two hundred great knights, and two thousand warriors.
The Tauren tribe sent ten thousand troops, two bronze-level extraordinarys, thirty earth knights, one hundred and twenty great knights, and one thousand knights.
The Horseheads sent out eight thousand troops, twenty earth knights, forty great knights, and five hundred warriors.
The rat tribe, rabbit tribe, and sheep-headed tribe each sent six thousand troops, fifteen earth knights, thirty great knights, and three hundred warriors.
Including knights, there are 60,000 troops.
Lin Yi appointed Zhou Yu as commander-in-chief, commanding an army of 60,000 orcs and 25,000 dwarves, and sent troops to Shuanggu County.
On the day when the army was launched, Soden led 3,000 monkey knights and 20,000 monkey soldiers to show his loyalty.
Zhou Yu did not refuse, and the army increased to 100,000. Although the composition of the 100,000 army was mixed, Lin Yi believed that with Zhou Yu's commanding ability, there would be no problem at all.
Within a week, Zhang He also captured Nanwan County.
With an army of 60,000, Zhang He should have little problem taking over Nanhe County.
The Lance family suffered a huge defeat and it will take some time to recover. The next step should be to defend Yannan County and unite with the Dauser family.
It's just that the Dauser family may not be able to spare any effort to help the Lance family.
Once Zhou Yu takes over Shuanggu County, the connection between the Lance family and the Dauser family will also be severed, and it will be impossible for the two families to join forces.
The hundreds of thousands of green demons captured in Xidu County were also initially calmed down by Yahe. After all, they were all of the same race, so the results were pretty good, at least there wouldn't be any big trouble.
At this time, Shanhe County, excluding the Scorpion Tribe, Goblin Tribe and Huanghe Defense Line troops, all mobilized.
Dekun led 4,000 pig-headed warriors and 20,000 pig-headed warriors, and was also dispatched by Lin Yi to Nanhe County to assist Arthur in suppressing the Green Devil captives.
I don't know if it was because of the mobilization of the army, but Ji Yi received two more reminders in these days.
"You conquer 200,000 aliens and randomly activate a talent mark of summoning soldiers and generals above the epic level."
"When your human followers reach 50,000, randomly activate the talent mark of summoning soldiers and generals above the epic level once."
The talent marks activated twice, one was at the supreme level and the other was at the legendary level. If nothing happened, Ji Yi used both summons.
In the five-color Tai Chi summoning array and the double-color Tai Chi summoning array, a Confucian scholar in green and a strong man in black appeared respectively.
"Fa Zheng, pay homage to the Lord!"
"Wang Ping, meet my lord!"
When the two generals were born, they all came to Lin Yi in a daze and knelt down to worship.
Lin Yi helped the two men up and took the opportunity to check their information.
Name: Fazheng, courtesy name Xiaozhi (Extraordinary Master - Silver Rank)
Mana: Level 60 (Wind Meditation)
Talent: 9.1 (Extreme)
Spirit:1936(8.8)
Strength:22(0.1)

Fazheng, the Shu Han mastermind, assisted Liu Bei in capturing Yizhou and Hanzhong, and offered a plan to kill Xia Houyuan, one of the three commanders of Cao Wei.
Under Zhuge Liang's super aura, the light of the Shu Han counselors was completely covered, but Fa Zheng was even more dazzling than Pang Tong's light.
During the Three Kingdoms period, countless famous generals died in battle, but as the commander-in-chief of a military region, only Xia Houyuan and Guan Yu died in battle.
The death of Guan Yu represented the return of Jingzhou to Wu and the achievement of Lu Meng.
The death of Xia Houyuan represented the return of Hanzhong to Shu and the achievement of Huang Zhong and Fazheng.
Although Zhuge Liang had the talent to conquer the world, he failed to help Liu Bei conquer the world. Fa Zheng allowed Liu Bei to become the King of Hanzhong. It must be said that in Liu Bei's mind in his later years, Fa Zheng's status was even higher than that of Zhuge Liang.
It's a pity that Fazheng died of illness before Liu Bei, otherwise he would definitely be one of the Tuogu ministers.
Name: Wang Ping, courtesy name Zijun (Extraordinary Knight-Silver Rank)
Dou Qi: Level 60 (Golden Eagle Dou Qi)
Talent: 7.8 (Legendary)
Strength:792(3.6)
Physique:748(3.4)

Talent: Body of the Golden Eagle (strength and constitution increased by 74%) Power of the Golden Eagle (increased the power of the Golden Eagle's fighting spirit by 74%) Golden Eagle Domain (increased the power of the Fighting Spirit by 74%, speed increased by 74%) Soul of the Golden Eagle (increased the soldier by 74
%attack speed)
Martial Arts: Golden Eagle Swordsmanship (80% of Grandmaster Level) Golden Eagle Archery (80% of Grandmaster Level)
Wang Ping, a tiger general in the late Shu Han Dynasty and Zhuge Liang's de facto military successor.
In the Battle of Jieting, Ma Di did not stop Wang Ping's persuasion, but suffered a heavy defeat. Wang Ping led his troops and horses to beat drums and hold himself together, so Zhang He did not dare to attack and returned safely with his soldiers.
Zhuge Liang besieged Qishan and sent Wang Ping to garrison the southern siege. Sima Yi sent Zhang He to attack Wang Ping, but failed to win again.
Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, Wei Yan rebelled, Wang Ping led his troops to attack Wei Yan, Wei Yan was defeated and was beheaded by Ma Dai.
Not surprisingly, Wang Ping was a well-deserved tiger general of the Shu Han Dynasty. Because he was a surrendered general of Cao Wei, his reputation was not prominent.
After checking the information about the second general, Lin Yi was overjoyed. Counselors and generals of archers were all what Lin Yi lacked at the moment.
Among the three armies, the situation in Beiyuan County is the most unpredictable. The Northern Expedition Army does not occupy a strong position, and the Dauser family's army did not attack, and they sat idly by while Norn took over the two counties. No matter how you look at it, it is full of weirdness.
So Lin Yi took Dian Wei, Fazheng and Wang Ping with him and rushed to Beiyuan County.
