Now most of Xiujie's troops are in the north, and there are only two legions in the central and southern parts. When Zhang Xuli attacks south, Xiujie will definitely transfer the troops of a central legion to resist Zhang Xuli.
At that time, the south can only mobilize the strength of one legion at most, and the strength of this legion already includes the troops guarding the royal city.
From what Jiang Yuxuan said, it was indeed possible to kill Xiujie, but the result was still difficult to predict. If the kings of both kingdoms died in battle, I don't know what the result would be.
However, this may be the most likely strategy to defeat Xiu Jie. Luo Feng immediately ordered all troops to be deployed according to Jiang Yuxuan's strategy.
The next day, he led an army and, together with Zhang Xinyi, left Sesha City and headed north.
Xiujie heard the news of Luo Feng's march and shouted happily: "Hahaha, great, Luo Feng, you are looking for death."
After saying that, he immediately ordered someone to come over and convey the order to change the marching direction, and headed straight to Zhaluo City.
When Futuo heard the news, he immediately ran to Xiujie and said anxiously: "King, why did you suddenly change the direction of march?"
"What? Is there a problem?" Xiu Jie got annoyed when he saw Fu Tuo recently.
Futuo knew that with Xiujie's current attitude towards him, he might kill him when he unified Central Continent, but he still had to say something.
"With our current combat power, we can attack and occupy one city from the north, attack steadily and advance slowly. This is the best strategy."
"Hahaha." Xiu Jie laughed: "The best strategy you think is that it will take a few years to unify Central Continent, but I, with my combat power, can unify Central Continent immediately."
Unexpectedly, Xiujie still couldn't listen. Futuo was helpless. Knowing Xiujie's character, it was useless to talk more, so he had to resign.
Luo Feng and Zhang Xinyi led an army to the territory of Zhaluo City.
During this expedition, Zhang Xinyi only chose one flag of the Red Robe Army to follow, while all other troops stayed in Sesha City. In the entire King Sesha City, there were only 20,000 Red Robe Army soldiers left to guard, and there were no other troops.
Fortunately, the regime has been relatively stable in the past few years, and there have been basically no rebellions or bandits. Even if a few bandits rarely appear, they are still dozens or hundreds of small bandits, so there is nothing to worry about.
In order to resist Xiujie's attack, almost all the soldiers in Zaluo City were mobilized, leaving less than a thousand soldiers to look at the city gates and patrol the streets.
Luo Feng ordered the army to stop. Although there was only one army, entering the city rashly would disrupt the originally peaceful city. If the city happened to be besieged by Xiujie, it would bring endless pain to the residents of the city.
What's more, with Xiujie's combat power, it is easy to break through the city gate and enter the city. No one can resist it. There is no difference between defending inside the city and fighting the enemy outside the city. Perhaps it is not as convenient as coming outside the city.
"Rest for a while, go around the city to the west, and then continue north." Luo Feng stopped and looked to the west.
That was the direction Xiu Jie came from. According to the intelligence he had received earlier, Xiu Jie had already passed Kongen City. Calculating the time, he should have reached the western border of Zhaluo City soon.
However, if Xiujie and his two legions formed a long queue and came in force, the team could line up all the way from Kongen City to Zhaluo City.
With such a long team, how can the head and tail care about each other? However, in order to concentrate the combat power, the march cannot extend the team for such a long time. The strength of the two legions should be controlled within ten kilometers.
Calculating the distance, as long as the army in front of Xiujie enters Zhaluo City, Zhang Xuli can attack Kongen City and cut off Xiujie's retreat.
Thinking of Zhang Xuli, Zhang Xuli is the key to this battle. According to Zhang Xuli's undisciplined character, he really can't be entrusted with such an important task. But along the way, all key battles relied on Zhang Xuli. , has never fallen off the chain, which is really inconsistent with his character.
Zhang Xinyi walked up to Luo Feng, handed a bag of water to Luo Feng, and said, "Tomorrow, I should meet Xiu Jie."
Counting the time, we will definitely meet tomorrow, unless we deliberately avoid it. But now Xiujie must be staring at Luo Feng. No matter where Luo Feng goes, Xiujie will follow him.
"Yes, but before we encounter, we have to choose the most favorable terrain. Even if we can't defeat it, we still have to be able to retreat, or we can kill more Xiujie's troops so that the troops arriving behind us have a higher chance of winning. "
Zhang Xinyi knew that Luo Feng was determined to die in this battle, but he didn't show it much.
"Don't worry, Xiujie can't escape, we will definitely win." Zhang Xinyi smiled slightly and said confidently.
However, these words were just to comfort Luo Feng. After all, Xiujie only had the strength of two legions. It only took one day to surround his own army. After another three days of fighting, he might not be able to hold on.
Luo Feng looked at Zhang Xinyi. He really shouldn't have brought Zhang Xinyi out this time, but Zhang Xinyi insisted. Luo Feng had no choice but to come out together.
"This time, no matter what happens, we must persist in living." Luo Feng held Zhang Xinyi's hand and said affectionately.
Zhang Xinyi had said this to Luo Feng countless times in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud, because Zhang Xinyi knew that Luo Feng would not back down, and she could only rely on herself to keep Luo Feng alive.
"Don't worry." Zhang Xinyi suddenly laughed, raised her Xuanming Fire Pattern Spear and started to dance: "Look, who can break my Xuanming Fire Pattern Spear? This time, I will kill Xiujie to the point where he regrets being born like this. world."
Seeing Zhang Xinyi's look, Luo Feng also laughed, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. It was just a battle anyway, so just fight. Leave the rest to time. Everything will end eventually. All he has to do is fight hard.
After resting for a while, the army replenished food and water, and Luo Feng ordered to continue moving forward.
Walking to the north side of the western border of Zhaluo City, the soldiers exploring the road in front ran over quickly.
"Report, King, Xiu Jie's army is found ahead, three kilometers away from us."
It's a distance of three kilometers and takes about half an hour's march. Looking at the surrounding terrain, there are mountains, woods, etc., which are relatively complicated.
If they met Xiu Jie's 200,000-strong army directly on the open ground, they would be crushed directly.
"This is it." Luo Feng said while looking at the surrounding terrain.
Zhang Xinyi knew what Luo Feng meant and immediately said: "Then I will deploy the defenses."
"It's too late for complicated fortifications." Luo Feng said: "Let the army set up a formation and prepare for battle. Let a sword battalion and an archer battalion enter the mountains over there, and order an archer battalion to enter the woods over there."
"Okay, I'll go give the order right away."
By the time Zhang Xinyi had arranged everything and returned, Xiu Jie's army had appeared in everyone's sight, and the darkness was getting closer and closer.
The death-like footsteps, every step, was like stepping on the heart, making people breathless.
"Ready to fight."
