Chapter 53 The enemy came

About 100 miles away from Yicheng, looking from a high place. This is an endless barracks. And in this military camp stretching into the distant sky, a particularly huge camp stands out like a flock of chickens. Standing in the center of the barracks. In this camp, many generals gathered at this time. It's just that they are all standing in the camp. Everyone looked at the person sitting in the only chair in the camp with a look of inexperable fear.

They don't know the origin of this person or his identity. But on the day of the establishment of the coalition, this person was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the coalition by the royal families of the two countries at the same time. At that time, after learning the news, there was a lot of opposition both inside and outside. No one knows the origin of this person, just like suddenly jumping out of a stone. How can such an important position of command of the joint forces of the two countries be handed over to such an unknown person? But the next day, everyone found that there were much fewer people in the court than usual. Soon after, the news came that these people died suddenly. Many people's first reaction is rumors. But the final facts can be told to them. These are all true. Moreover, after the analysis of careful people, these dead people, regardless of their official positions. The only thing they have in common is the fiercest group of people who were most opposed to this mysterious man as the commander of the coalition.

Once this situation was verified, everyone closed their mouths knowingly. Because after this incident, the royal family announced that these people had died violently. There is no other reason. At this time, they knew. It turns out that this mysterious man is not small. Otherwise, he killed so many court officials that even the royal family covered him up. If you don't know what to do, you must be the next one to die.

On the day the mysterious man became the commander of the coalition, he did not disclose any information except to tell everyone that his name was Tuobaye. It's just that what he said next made everyone shudder. Before leaving, he said, "I know you suspect that I killed those dead people. That's right. I can tell you that I killed those people. I also want to tell you. Since I am the commander of this coalition, I hope you can lead the army to war. Otherwise, I don't mind letting someone else take your place.

This is a threat, and it is also a nud threat. But the people who heard these words were very angry. But he didn't dare to show it on his face. They knew that this young man named Tuobaye could definitely do it. If you have any dissatisfaction. He even disobeyed his orders or something. Then your position must have been replaced by someone else tomorrow. And it is very likely that I will never see the sun tomorrow.

At this time, there are still 100 miles away from Yicheng. They have been staying here for a day. But Tuoba Ye still has no intention of moving forward. The farthest troops in other places are close to the set goal. Only they still stay here.

The camp is quiet and can even tell whose breathing sound, and everyone is very puzzled. But no one is willing to start asking.

Tuoba Ye sat in a chair and closed his eyes to meditate. Others have to stand there honestly. Waiting for him to speak. After a long time, Tuobaye finally opened his eyes. I looked at the generals standing in the camp. He said, "Isn't it strange that I don't let Lucheng, a heavy city that can go straight to the Xuanming Empire once it is broken? Instead, change the route to attack Yicheng? Why did we arrive here the day before yesterday and not continue to move forward, but rest here?

When everyone saw Tuobaye talking, they thought he was going to give an order, but Tuobano's words stunned them. Although there was no answer, the puzzled look really told Tuobano that we really didn't know.

"Yes, Lucheng is the most important of the four cities here. But since we can think of it. The enemy can also think of it. They will definitely deploy the most elite power in Lucheng. But Yicheng is different. Although Yicheng is also one of the four border cities, it is the farthest from the imperial capital of the Xuanming Empire. Even if we beat Yicheng. The enemy can also surround us around Yicheng as quickly as possible. Don't let us take a step forward. But, you see. The straight distance from Yicheng to Wuling City is less than 400 kilometers. As long as we hit Yicheng. After resting, he immediately transferred to Wuling City, and then echoed the army stationed on the border of the Rasha Empire. Take Wuling City in one fell swoop and annihilate the enemy's Second Legion. In this way, we can not only fight against the enemy's living forces. They can gain a firm foothold in their territory. As long as the Second Legion is destroyed. Then, the initiative of this war is in our hands. The destruction of the Xuanming Empire is just a matter of time. Tuobaye spread out the map and drew a straight line with a red pen between Yicheng and Wuling City. Analyze the war situation with your subordinates.

"But. In this case. Why did we give up the four cities that we had already won? If we hadn't withdrawn, then our troops could now be stationed directly in the four cities. Isn't it more convenient?" Finally, someone couldn't help it. In this case, why did you withdraw the defenders stationed in the four cities at the beginning? It's not directly stationed.

"I think you all want to ask. In that case, I will tell you. Yes, the four border cities have fallen into our hands. If we don't withdraw, then our army can directly enter the four cities and use these four cities as the base to launch an attack on them, you see. Tuobaye pointed to the area seen in the four cities and the imperial capital on the border and said, "With four cities, we can indeed enter, retreat and defend, but the four cities have been lost, and the enemy will definitely rebuild the defense line, so how will they arrange them? In my opinion, they will take Wuling City as the starting point and connect the six major cities of Hengcheng, Yucheng, Jiancheng, Jiangcheng, Xingcheng and Wudu. Reconstitute a line of defense. If so, the border of the Rasha Empire has no impact on them. Because this defense line can fight on both sides. Even the two cities can only support each other. If so, we want to break through them in a short time. It is impossible at all. However, if we give up these four cities, they will definitely send troops back to garrison. In this way, the second line of defense must not be so strong. As long as we take Yicheng. Then he broke through Wuling City. At that time, even if they want to retreat to the second line of defense, they will not be able to resist the two lines. Because Wuling City was in our hands at that time. Do you understand?"

"It turns out that the marshal has thought about it for a long time. I'm stupid. Ashamed. It's really embarrassing." A compliment came from the crowd.

Then there was the sound of praise one after another, but under this praise, everyone's hearts were cold. How deep the calculation must be. What a deep city government can do it. Can ordinary people make such a decision by giving up the city they have already arrived? Not to mention that it is still a border city. If you say you lose it, you will lose it. Without hesitation at all. Then, seeing the enemy withdraw, the original owner did not happen again for such a thing. It is inevitable to strengthen the guard force. But the number of troops is fixed. Once a certain place is strengthened. Then there must be a place of defense weakened. Once these cities are broken down again. The enemy can't organize a considerable defense. So... Thinking of this, everyone's heart is so cold.

"Okay. Stop talking nonsense. I ordered you to come here today. Listen to everyone. After dinner, everyone brought all the equipment. Let's go immediately."

Marshal. Do you want to march at night? But what about the enemy's scouts? In case they ambushed us on the road. Our army will not be very passive.

"The scout? The enemy has no more scouts. Besides, I'll tell you. This time, the fourth legion of the Xuanming Empire was stationed in Yicheng. You must know them better than me." When Tuobaye said this, a trace of sarcasm slipped from the corners of his mouth.

"It's actually the Fourth Army. Don't they have anyone?"

The Fourth Legion. It seems that we are destined to win the battle this time. Haha."

"Hmm. Those cannon fodder actually came to defend the city. I don't think anyone can save them this time..."

Hearing that the Fourth Army was stationed, everyone suddenly looked disdainful. The Fourth Army is too familiar to them. This time I heard that they were facing. Everyone's hanging hearts were relieved. Other legions, even some regular legions. These days will think that this is a hard battle. But the Fourth Army is a little better than ordinary people. Unexpectedly, he came to defend the city.

"All's it. Shut up. Although this time it is facing the Fourth Army. There is no guarantee that other troops will be stationed. I hope you all go all out. Just take Yicheng. Your credit is indispensable." Tuobano saw everyone's disdainful look. With a secret smile, his goal has been achieved. Before the war, we should have psychological contempt for the enemy. Only in this way can we play the right level in the battle. Otherwise, this is a siege. There will be some psychological disadvantages. But after hearing that the garrisoned army was the Fourth Army, these disadvantages have disappeared.

"Let's go down and get ready. After dinner, let's go immediately.

"Yes."

After everyone left, a man in black appeared behind Tuoba Ye like a ghost. Tuoba Ye did not look back. He casually said, "How's the specific situation?"

"Young master, a new cavalry of about 1,000 people has arrived in Yicheng. However, it seems that there is no peace with the Fourth Legion. Their station is far away from the Fourth Army. And it is said that the generals of this unit quarreled with the generals of the Fourth Army that day. And he also injured his people.

"Hmm. A bunch of idiots. There is still internal sfighting at this time. Go down. From now on, you don't have to investigate them. I want to defeat them on my own. Go down."

"Yes." The man in black retreated, but he was very disdainful of Tuobaye's words. If you don't use me, can you make none of those scouts who come to spy on the news go back? Without my help, you can find out the information of Yicheng so clearly. Now he is still talking about relying on his own strength. I pooh. Of course, he dares not say all this.

Early the next morning, the guards on the wall of Yicheng were changing their defenses. The soldiers who stayed all night were about to go back to rest. And the soldiers who replaced them have not fully woken up from their sleep. Everyone couldn't help yawning.

"Hey... Look. What is that?" A soldier who had just taken over from his post rubbed his eyes that had not yet been fully opened. Ask your companions around you.

The companion beside him had not been able to answer, and he saw a sharp arrow flying through the throat of his companion. I saw him covering his throat with his hand, and there was a few "hehe" in his mouth.

With a stunnedgong fu, the companions who got along with each other day and night died in front of him. The soldier didn't realize what was going on, but the soldier not far away screamed: "Enemy attack. Enemy attack. The enemy attacked the city.
