"There is news from the north. The Blackwater Army has been completely wiped out!"
In Shijiang City, in the Marshal's Mansion, King Donglin walked over and said with a heavy expression.
In front of the sand table, Li Ziye heard the words, was silent for a moment, and asked, "How is the situation of King Jiuyou?"
"We broke out of the siege with a few personal guards, but there is no news yet."
King Donglin sighed deeply and said, "King Jiuyou is not weak, so I am not worried. However, the entire Blackwater Army has been annihilated, which makes it even worse for me, Dashang."
"This is the chain reaction of the destruction of Baidi City."
Li Ziye looked at the map of the northern territory and said, "Moreover, this is just the beginning. The troubles that will follow will only increase."
The fate of the Blackwater Army was already doomed when Baidi City was breached.
Previously, the reinforcements from Mobei suddenly appeared, and the Blackwater Army had been severely damaged. Without reinforcements and no natural danger to defend, the destruction of the Blackwater Army was only a matter of time.
King Jiuyou was unlucky. The reinforcements from Mobei originally chose to reinforce the army from the west route instead of the east route. Therefore, King Zhongwu and Mu Qing were able to maintain their strength.
Of course, in addition to luck, strength is also the key. King Zhongwu and Mu Qing have a total of 120,000 to 30,000 troops. Originally, the purpose of the Eight Tribes of Mobei was to capture Baidi City, so they would definitely choose reinforcements to be the most confident in breaking through. party.
King Jiuyou was just a victim of the calculations of the eight tribes in Mobei.
"You're right."
King Donglin said in a deep voice, "Not long ago, the spies came to report that the Mobei Middle Road army led by Lord Bai Di was already on the way to attack Kunyu City. There are not many defenders in Kunyu City. I'm afraid they won't last long. He wants to force We went out of the city to provide support.”
"Leaving the city means giving up the advantage of defending the city."
Li Ziye said calmly, "If we don't leave the city, we have to watch Kunyu City be broken and the defenders and people be slaughtered. This is really a dilemma."
"What's even more troublesome is that if we don't go out to support the city, after destroying Kunyu City, the Mobei Middle Army will continue to attack other cities."
King Donglin said with heavy eyes, "The local defenders are inferior to the Mobei Iron Cavalry in terms of combat strength, equipment, and numbers. However, the Mobei Iron Cavalry can minimize its own casualties by using prisoners to break the city. For position siege battles, It's very effective, not to mention that Baidi City is now in their hands, and the Eight Mobei tribes can replenish their troops at any time."
"It's all negative factors."
Li Ziye looked at the map and said, "This battle is not easy to fight."
"Do you have any suggestions, Lord Buyi?" King Donglin asked seriously.
"Treat others in their own way."
Li Ziye replied, "I heard that people from Mobei have begun to move south. All the troops in Mobei are used for fighting. Their rear defense must be empty. This is an opportunity for us."
When King Donglin heard this, he looked startled, and quickly understood what he was talking about. He said in a solemn voice, "What Marquis Buyi means is to use cavalry to sneak attack the rear defense of the eight tribes in Mobei, forcing them to divide their troops and return for reinforcements."
"That's right."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "The tactics that have been successful should not be used in vain. Fight with war to support war. Fight wherever they are. If the Eight Ministries of Mobei want to stop them, they must surround them with several times the number of troops."
King Donglin heard this, his expression was slightly condensed, he thought for a moment, and said, "You can indeed give it a try. There are still many cavalry in the Donglin army. I have left some for emergencies, and I will lend the rest to you, the commoner."
"Thank you, King Donglin."
Li Ziye thanked him, "After I go north, I will have to rely on King Donglin to support me here in the hinterland of Dashan."
"Buyihou, don't worry."
The king of Donglin nodded and said, "As long as the Mobei cavalry does not attack on a large scale, I can still hold on here. The eight tribes of Mobei have been increasing their troops recently. They must have considered that the current strength is not enough and they want to capture the capital of Great Shang." , It is not an easy task. If the Buyi Hou goes north, if we can force the Mobei cavalry to return for reinforcements, the pressure on me and the capital will be greatly reduced."
"good."
Li Ziye said in a concentrated voice, "Soldiers are valuable and quick. I will lead the troops north early tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Li Ziye hesitated for a moment and warned, "King Donglin, be extra careful with Dantai Jingyue, this woman alone is worth thousands of troops!"
King Donglin frowned slightly after hearing the reminder from the Buyi Marquis in front of him. Although he was a little confused, he still nodded and said, "I will remember it."
Li Ziye nodded, without saying anything more, and left first to prepare.
"Someone is coming."
In front of the sand table, King Donglin said.
"King Wu."
A personal guard came over and saluted respectfully.
"Pass the order, all the cavalry among the generals will be mobilized by the Buyi Marquis." King Donglin ordered.
"yes!"
The personal guard took the order and immediately turned and left.
In the room, King Donglin walked up to the map and looked at the cities marked in the north, his expression sinking.
In less than two years, the entire northern border had fallen, and the nomadic cavalry was truly terrifying.
If the great merchants continued to divide their forces like this, this war would not be fought at all.
Just when Li Ziye and King Donglin made a decision, Li Ziye would lead the cavalry north.
Southern Xinjiang, Wu tribe.
The team of merchant envoys finally arrived.
The Holy Land of the Witch Clan is a secret realm shrouded in clouds and mist. Except for a few great Witch Kings, few people know where it is.
The Holy Land is located in a natural maze. Even if ordinary people know the place, it is difficult to find it.
After the envoys of the Great Shang arrived, the Witch Queen sent the heavenly guards to greet them and lead the way for the envoys of the Great Shang.
"This place is really hard to find."
In front of the team, Mu Bai looked at the misty mountains around him and asked, "How did Brother Li find it in the first place?"
"The first time I was following a great wizard king, and the second time I was captured by the wizard queen."
On the side, Huanzhu replied as if he was endorsing something.
"I see."
Mu Bai nodded and said calmly, "What is the character of the Witch Queen?"
"Mediocre personality and petty."
Huanzhu responded and reminded, "Your Highness must be fully mentally prepared for this negotiation. It is probably very difficult to negotiate. The Witch Queen will most likely open her mouth."
"I see."
Mu Bai nodded and said, "Fortunately, Brother Li is still here."
"hehe."
Huanzhu smiled dryly and said, "To be honest with you, Your Highness, when we left the Witch Clan, my master took the opportunity to steal a lot of things from the Witch Queen. The Witch Queen must hate me to the core. If I come, it will only make matters worse."
Is this the correct expression?
so hard.
When Mu Bai heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
Plum Blossom Sword Fairy, still stealing things?
While the two were talking.
The Wu Clan's Heavenly Guards led Dashang's envoys into the Holy Land.
After passing through the fog.
A beautiful figure appeared in front of everyone.
A slender and tall woman with an aloof temperament. Runes loomed on her fair skin. Her perfect face looked like she was in her twenties. However, her powerful aura reminded everyone all the time that the woman in front of her was very... horrible.
"The Witch Queen."
At the front of the team, the Heavenly Guard stopped and saluted respectfully, "The people are here."
"Go down."
The Witch Queen nodded, looked away, ignored everyone, looked directly at someone in front of the group of Dashang envoys, and said calmly, "Master Li, what a coincidence, we meet again."
If he doesn't come back, she can't help it, but now that he's back, we have to settle old and new accounts together!
"hehe."
Next to the fourth prince, Huan Zhu smiled awkwardly.
My brother is right.
This Witch Queen is really petty!
