"Dong dong dong...!"
At noon on the second day after the enemy's letter of challenge was delivered, the war drums of Bailong County and the enemy camp were beating in unison, and the two armies each sent a cavalry team of 2,000 people to confront each other.
As the war drums beat, the two armies started at the same time, accelerated, sprinted, and finally met at hand-to-hand combat, starting a fierce fight.
About half an hour later, both sides paid their dues and retreated their troops, hurting each other but neither taking advantage.
On the upper floor of the north city of Bailong County, Han Feng watched the enemy troops withdraw their troops and return to the camp, closing the camp door with a look of surprise on his face.
I thought that the enemy would come in large numbers and the battle would start with a storm. Unexpectedly, on the first day of the battle, Fuzhuo only sent two thousand soldiers and horses, and it was a small-scale battle.
…
In the next few days, the enemy army still took the initiative to invite battle. Although more and more troops were sent, it was only in increments of 1,000 people.
It was not until the number of soldiers and horses increased to nine thousand that the scale of the battle began to expand, and special arms from both sides were also put into battle one after another.
Anbei Army's monster army and aerial crossbow troops participated in the battle at the same time.
What is surprising is that Fuzhuo's side also sent a monster cavalry, which was similar in size to Anbei's army.
Those monsters seemed to be under the control of the "Beast Controller", and their combat effectiveness was not inferior to that of the Anbei Army.
That is to say, the air crossbow troops of both sides. The Anbei Army had a certain upper hand by virtue of its equipment advantages, but the two armies still had no winner.
After fighting for a while and losing each other's troops, they each withdrew their troops. No moon-level warriors participated in all the battles.
It was not until the early morning of the eighth day of the confrontation between the two sides that the enemy sent troops again, but only sent 5,000 troops.
However, the enemy general Fu Zhuo appeared at the front of the battle formation for the first time. He was accompanied by four moon-level powerful men.
In response, Han Feng sent Chihong, Linglong, Duanmu and two elders of the Lu family, as well as Governor Shen Tai who vowed to take the lead, out of the city to fight.
The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, especially the battle between the ten moon-level powerful men in the void, which was particularly eye-catching.
Han Feng, the heads of the three major families, and the military generals were all watching the battle on the tower.
While watching the battle, Han Feng looked far away at the enemy camp and secretly used his power to detect how many moon-level warriors were dormant in the opponent's camp.
After a visit, Han Feng was quite frightened.
Judging from the fluctuations in the energy of heaven and earth, the enemy has at least eight moon-level powerful men.
Fortunately, we still have moon-level experts from three major families. Although they are slightly inferior in numbers, they can still compete with them.
However, when he looked away, Han Feng inadvertently discovered that there was an unusual fluctuation in the inconspicuous clouds above the enemy camp opposite.
He secretly pushed the power of Dongxu to the extreme, and the golden light in his eyes quickly circulated.
Finally, I discovered that there was a trace of fluctuations in the power of law coming from the clouds.
This discovery made Han Feng feel shocked.
The energy intensity of this power of law is similar to that of the Qianlan Heavenly Guard "Guan Su" who escorted him back to Xichuan Province, but it is a little weaker.
Obviously, there is a quasi-solar powerhouse hidden in this cloud.
A quasi-sun level expert is also known as the "Xu Sun Realm".
According to the rules between the empires on the Lingwu Continent, when a war breaks out, unless both sides send strong men above the quasi-Sun level to fight, strong men of this level cannot take action directly.
This is a rule in the mainland cultivation world. Once you violate it, you will not only suffer indiscriminate retaliation from your opponents, but you will also be despised and spurned by other empires.
Therefore, Han Feng is not worried that the other party will take action against them.
He was just curious. This quasi-sun-level expert stayed here and could not take action. Could he just simply watch the battle?
Han Feng is more inclined to believe that this person is protecting someone, and that person may be the real commander behind the enemy army.
In the end, the battle ceased before sunset, with both sides suffering casualties.
In the battle between the moon-level powers, no one from either side died, and at most they suffered some injuries.
In this battle, "Shen Tai", who had been holding back his anger all the way, almost killed his opponent with his powerful eight-star moon level cultivation, and finally cut off one of the enemy's arms, which was regarded as a decisive victory. Small credit.
…
After the battle, when he returned to the commander's tent in the military camp, Han Feng fell into deep thought.
He felt that the battle with the enemy in Bailong County for several days was really strange.
The number of enemy troops clearly occupies an absolute advantage. There are many moon-level powerful men stationed there, and there is even a quasi-sun powerhouse behind them.
With this obvious advantage, why did the enemy engage in a "wheel war" with itself?
The daily battles under the city seemed to be an intensive attack, but in fact there was always room for leeway.
Moreover, during this period, Han Feng also maintained contact with Shi Yishan in Zhongyue City through jade talismans.
What is surprising is that the situation they encountered was the same as that in Bailong County.
"This in the end is why?"
Han Feng thought for a long time, and his first thought was that the enemy was using this method to find out the combat effectiveness of his own army.
But he always felt that there was another reason.
After thinking for a long time, Han Feng suddenly focused his eyes and thought of something.
"No...they are stalling for time!"
Han Feng suddenly remembered a simple scientific experiment in his previous life, which was "boiling a frog in warm water".
If a frog is placed in scalding hot water, it will jump up and escape from danger.
However, if you put it into cold water and slowly heat the water, the frog will be surrounded by danger without even realizing it.
When it reacted, it had no strength to escape and was eventually destroyed.
The enemy seems to be fighting every day to test their own strength, but in fact it is to paralyze themselves. Its real purpose should be to delay the war.
Despite putting a certain amount of pressure on its own side, it has been reluctant to launch a decisive battle.
If Han Feng's prediction was true, the enemy might have a group of extraordinary reinforcements on their way to reinforce them.
Once the two armies gather together, the enemy, who has already figured out their own strength, will start a full-scale siege without hesitation.
After understanding this, Han Feng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
As expected, marching and fighting cannot be done "on paper", if I hadn't discovered the enemy's hidden strength today.
In addition, some of the experiences accumulated from historical knowledge in previous lives may also be lost.
Han Feng immediately took out the jade talisman of communication and informed Shi Yishan of his guess.
The latter quickly replied to the message. Shi Yishan was also extremely shocked. The two leading commanders began to urgently discuss countermeasures.
But now the elite of Xichuan Province have been completely mobilized. Zhongyue City and Bailong County are the two important gateways to the north of Xichuan Province.
Without any one of them, the enemy can advance straight in.
Now, even if they know that the enemy is stalling for time, both sides have no better way and can only think of good strategies.
On the second day, the enemy still sent thousands of iron cavalry and several moon-level experts to challenge, looking menacing.
However, Han Feng lost interest in watching the battle and returned to the Han Mansion to think hard about how to deal with it.
If a solution cannot be thought of as soon as possible, both Bailong County and Zhongyue City may be lost once the enemy's reinforcements arrive.
Once the two cities are lost and the enemy's main force rushes into the hinterland of Xichuan Province, it will be like a flood bursting its banks. It will be difficult to control it again.
While Han Feng was thinking hard in the room, the door was gently pushed open, and Zhou Yunmei brought a bowl of tea to him.
Seeing Han Feng's frown, she hesitated and finally asked: "Ms. sir, you have been worried these past two days, but is there anything that worries you?"
When Han Feng heard this, he smiled and shook his head and said it was okay.
Zhou Yunmei stepped forward, stretched out her hand to gently rub Han Feng's eyebrows and said, "Ms. sir, although I don't understand marching and fighting, you can talk to me about any troubles you have.
You and I are one husband and wife, so you should confide in me and keep it in your heart. It is not good for your health. "
Hearing his wife's concern, Han Feng felt warm in his heart and reached out to pull her into his arms.
At the moment, he simply briefly described the crisis encountered by the army to Zhou Yunmei. Of course, he did not expect Zhou Yunmei to be able to do anything.
When Zhou Yunmei heard about the crisis that the army was currently facing, Zhou Yunmei also frowned slightly, obviously feeling that it was very difficult.
She couldn't help but shook her head and said: "Mr. sir, I don't know what to do. The enemy is so strong and there are reinforcements behind us.
It would be great if we could join forces, defeat one enemy army, and then come back to fend off another army.
It's a pity that if we do this, another enemy army will definitely take the opportunity to go south and invade the entire Xichuan Province. "
Zhou Yunmei's unintentional words made Han Feng, who had been thinking hard for two days without knowing what to do, suddenly flash a flash of lightning in his mind.
A bold idea came into being.
"There is a way!"
Han Feng slammed the table excitedly, startling Zhou Yunmei, and asked hurriedly with concern: "Ms. sir, what's wrong with you?"
Han Feng laughed heartily, looked at his tender wife in his arms, hugged her and kissed her hard on the cheek.
"Yunmei, you are so smart, thank you for telling me how to do it!"
Zhou Yunmei blushed at Han Feng's actions and said doubtfully: "Ms. sir, when... did I tell you the solution?"
Han Feng smiled mysteriously and said, "Hey... I'll tell you later. My husband is going to the Northwest General Assembly now and will be back soon!"
