Abu is a businessman, and the general guarding Xibo City actually informed Abu of Xibo City's military strength and divisions. From this, we can also know the degree of corruption in Xibo City and even the entire Luo Ye Kingdom. And I’m afraid there are definitely not a few businessmen like Abu, and it’s unclear how many of them are spies from the Incandescent Kingdom. Once a war breaks out, they will definitely be at a disadvantage. Of course, neither Bai Chi nor Luo Ye have anything to do with Bai Chen, and Bai Chen doesn't intend to interfere. Although the atmosphere in Xibo City was tense, Abu was able to get through unimpeded. After several rounds, he led Bai Chen to a mansion. "Mr. Bai, what do you think of this mansion?" "With this size, the previous owner must have been of extraordinary origin, right?" Bai Chen turned his head and glanced at Abu. "Mr. Bai has a keen eye. The former owner of this mansion was a king of Luo Ye Kingdom named Xi Lai. He was a powerful man of Luo Ye Kingdom. He made great contributions to Luo Ye Kingdom and was awarded the title of Big Python King. Xibo City was also his fief. , but a few years ago, he was involved in a major case and lost power. The Python King was also convicted and executed, and the prince's mansion was also sold at a low price and fell into the hands of his subordinates. " Bai Chen roughly knew about the land of Zhuoma. The level of strength is divided into: one against ten is an ordinary strongman, one against a hundred is called a hundred battles, one against a thousand is called a critical force, and there are very few who are against ten thousand. In the entire land of Zhuoma, it takes several generations to produce a person who is an enemy of ten thousand people. ??If divided according to the levels of monks, ordinary warriors are at the Qi training level, Baizhan is at the foundation building level, Qianjun has reached the realm of pill formation, and ten thousand enemies are at the Nascent Soul realm. "Furthermore, warriors all rely on unique secret techniques to practice. Some big families have unique inheritances, and the war between countries is rather a wrestling match between the big families. When one country falls, another country rises, but those families rarely fall, because even if the country falls, those families just change their appearance and switch to the enemy country. For a country's royal family, what they most want to see is for a large number of families to recognize and join the country they established. For this reason, they will not make things difficult for these families' past positions, but will only increase profits and titles. Winning over more families. And the warriors trained by these families will indirectly become the cornerstone of the empire and the empire's combat power. "Why was that python king killed?" Bai Chen asked. "This case was tried and executed by the royal family. It is said that the Big Python King colluded with the enemy and committed treason. However, the truth depends on the beholder." Bai Chen thought about it and couldn't help laughing. There is no so-called right or wrong in political struggle. The so-called collaboration with the enemy and treason is mostly just fabricated. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: There are so many monsters and evildoers in the country. Even those who are meritorious and noble are in danger. Bai Chen walked around the palace. Although the palace was luxuriously decorated, it was not popular. Bai Chen didn't like this empty feeling. "Mr. Bai, are you satisfied with this mansion?" "It's not bad. When will the person who sold it to me deliver it to me?" "Are you sure you want to take over at this time? Now Xibo City is in danger, I mean "Yes, you can live somewhere else for a while, and then come back here when the situation in Xibo City calms down." "I don't like procrastination, so just leave the person to me." Bai Chen said. "Okay, I'll follow you." Abu couldn't defeat Bai Chen. In his opinion, Bai Chen's move was extremely risky. Nowadays, almost all the wealthy households in Xibo City have fled, and only those ordinary people who cannot afford to move their families will stay in this city where a war is about to start. Once Xibo City is destroyed, it will most likely be a disaster for the people in the city. … And a hundred miles outside Xibo City, a large army has been assembled and ready to go. Like a pack of wolves, it will march towards Xibo City at any time. This expeditionary legion comes from the Incandescent Kingdom. The military flag is a burning flame, symbolizing the never-quenching holy fire. Next to the sacred fire are three sacred birds of different colors. These three sacred birds are Zhuniao, Tuohuang and Jiuli. These three kinds of divine birds are real, but they are rare in number and are extremely noble in the Incandescent Kingdom. It is said that the people of the White Blazing Kingdom are all descendants of three sacred birds, so everyone in the White Blazing Kingdom is in awe of the sacred birds. And this expeditionary legion also represents one of the three divine birds, and is known as the Nine Lies Legion with the most powerful combat power. In the main area of ??the military camp, several senior generals from the Nine Lies were surrounding a sand table.While arguing to express their opinions, only one person sat in front of the sand table, silent, his eyes scanning every corner of the sand table. Several generals couldn't stop arguing, and finally the general on the left turned to look at the silent general: "General, please say something." Feng Luo, one of the three generals of the White Blazing Kingdom, is second only to the Empire Under the commander-in-chief. He is also the commander-in-chief of the Nine Lies. The Nine Lies led by him are responsible for attacking the southwest road of Luo Ye Kingdom, then turning to the north, and finally meeting up with the other two armies in front of the Imperial City of Luo Ye Kingdom. However, the southwest road is the hardest nut to crack among the three roads. There are many big cities and fortresses blocking it, and Xibo City is one of them. The garrison of Xibo City was 30,000, and the general who defended the city was named Xing'an. He had outstanding military exploits and was a rare famous general in the Luo Ye Kingdom. But these are not the main ones. With the Nine Lies Legion’s 200,000 troops, the 30,000 defenders of Xibo City are not enough. But the difficulty is that there are five thousand strong men in Xibo City, also known as the Tiger Force Group. In addition to the five thousand strong men, the Tiger Force Group also has fifty Baizhan. The leader of the Tiger Force Group is Xing'an's younger brother, Xingyi. A mighty warrior. You must know that such combat power is very unbalanced in a city. However, Xibo City was originally the fiefdom of the King of Luoye, the Big Python King, and the Tiger Force Regiment was originally the Big Python King's soldiers. Then the Big Python King was convicted and killed, and the Tiger Force Group fell into Xing'an and Xingyi. in hand. If it is a head-on confrontation, Jiu Lie is not afraid of the Xibo City defenders. After all, he also has a strong army of soldiers in his hands. However, this is a battle to defend the city, and the opponent is unlikely to confront him head-on. In the battle of attacking and defending a city, when the generals of both sides are equal, the attacking side needs to use several times the force to be able to capture the city. Xing'an is an experienced general, so there is no need to expect him to make mistakes in grand strategy. If it is a forceful attack, it is not difficult to break through Xibo City, but there are still many dangerous passes to pass behind, and Feng Luo is not willing to lose too many troops in Xibo City. Xing'an is famous for its foolishness and loyalty, and Feng Luo has heard many rumors about Xing'an. When Xing'an was guarding the border, it was attacked by another country. Without supplies, it was trapped at the border for half a year. The original 100,000 defenders fought hard until less than 10,000 were left. The commander-in-chief of the other side repeatedly sent envoys to lobby Xing'an and persuaded him to give up resistance. However, Xing'an stayed in the isolated border city for half a year until reinforcements arrived. After that battle, Xing'an was also rewarded for his merits and was transferred to Xibo City. They were also knighted. Xibo City was originally a prosperous capital, so the defenders also had abundant military resources. After Xing'an came here, he did not relax. Instead, he relied on abundant military expenditures and resources to strengthen his troops at all times. Such an army of 30,000 people is comparable to an ordinary army of 50,000 people. Now Feng Luo is facing such a city-defending army and such a city-defending general, and it is quite a headache. Now the military camp is divided into two factions, one is to attack Xibo City by force, and the other is to give up attacking Xibo City and continue to march to avoid the front of Xibo City. The generals of the two parties each had their own reasons, and they also expressed their own opinions. With the strength and combat power of the Nine Lies Legion, it is not impossible to storm Xibo City. But the losses will be very heavy and will seriously slow down the marching speed. No one is sure whether they will be able to catch up with the final Grand Master. If we give up attacking Xibo City and instead advance in a detour, we can certainly preserve our combat power, but the next Jishan Fortress cannot be bypassed no matter what. Once the battle situation becomes stalemate when attacking Jishan Fortress, and Xing'an attacks from both front and back, then the Nine Lies Army will will be in danger. Therefore, Feng Luo is more inclined to capture Xibo City, rest in Xibo City, and then continue to advance. "Okay, stop arguing. The whole army has been organized and prepared for siege equipment. We will march to Xibo City tomorrow." As soon as Feng Luo said this, the generals who supported the attack on Xibo City were naturally overjoyed, while the other side was greatly I was anxious and tried to dissuade him several times. Feng Luo waved his hand: "The first few cities of our army have been captured easily, and now the morale is high. If we bypass Xibo City, it will inevitably damage morale. And if we cannot capture the Jishan Fortress for a long time, Xibo City will definitely take advantage of the situation." If we send out troops to attack our army from both front and rear, our army will be attacked from both front and rear, so it is imperative to capture Xibo City. " "But the strength of the defenders of Xibo City is not weak to our army. If we attack by force, we will suffer heavy losses when the time comes. How can we continue to attack Jishan Fortress? " "Actually, things are not as bad as you think. Although Xibo City has a strong military force, it is not completely invulnerable.Being framed and executed, the Tiger Force regiment was filled with indignation, and they were not necessarily willing to fight to the death with our army. They first sent agents into the city to spread some rumors and attack people's hearts first. When the Tiger Force regiment gradually became dissatisfied, At that time, if we attack the city with all our strength, Xibo City will definitely be captured. " Feng Luo's reputation is not inferior to that of Xing'an in Xibo City, and he is also ranked among the famous generals. Famous generals not only have unique moves in military duels, but the duels have already begun outside the battlefield. " But Feng Luo also He would not be naive to think that spreading some rumors would cause civil strife in Xibo City. The real outcome still needs to be decided on the battlefield. Now that he has made his move, let’s see how Xing’an responds.
